B& The Enquirer processes to admire
edndor in party matters. That paper advo-
Gates the cause of Judge Douglas. He is a
pretty specimen of candor. Broderick laid
down his life for him. 1t is Douglass duty
to deliver a eulogy upon the brave mans
memory. Others, not under one-fourth the
obligation, have done so, but Douglas, just
as he is needed to speak, is taken with
stitch in his side or some other terrible mall
ady. He follows theplan of Jesse D. Bright,
when that gentleman wishes to evade re-
sponsibility, and happens to be out. Douglas
is very candid man. Dyes He professed
great regard for Broderick, but for fear of
losing the Charleston nomination, shirks his
solemn duty, and will not eulogize the
of his benefactor.

A FEARFUL CALCULATIoN.-In his work
on unfulflled prophecy, Mr.. Labaugh ad-
vances the theory that the inhabitants of
the new earth are not to be sick, and that
they are to live generally 900 years, and to
increase accordingly. Some patient mathe-
NAUTICAL genius, taking this as basis of cal
culation, estimates at the end of l 200 years,
the Jews alone would number " more than
1,O24 000, 900, 600, 000 0O0, 900, 600, 600, 600,
which would be more than 3,41O,OOO, O0O,-
900, 900, 900 on each square mile of the
earth's surface, or 5000, 900, 900, OOO, 000,-

grown before, and it gave two fine crops of

it produced large crop perfectly free from
disease; applied to sweet corn and other
vegetables in the garden, and it gave them
fine growth and good color.
A Locofoco editor in Tennessee thinks
that sober second thought may bring us
to our senses. Perhaps the first sober
thought may bring him to his. The exper-

The editor of the Elizabethtown Democrat
calls upon politicians of all parties to "swal-
low their prejudices." They had better
throw up those they have swallowed already.

artist thinks that he has got up a pair of

Sarah McChester has been arrested in New
York City, on suspicion of having some
thing to do with the murder of the Custom
House Waterman. The general impression
is that she is innocent. Her husbands story
corroborates her statement that she was at
home all the evening. A stage driver as

his omnibus, about the time of the m urder
near State street, and rode up to 10th street.

Thc Governorship,

There is some competition among the
friends of Oliver P. Morton, Henry S. Lane,
and William T. Otto, for the nomination OF
one of those gentlemen by the Opposition
State Convention of the 22d, for Governor.
Judge Otto, we understand, has concluded
not to be candidate.
Judge Morton's friends will present his
name to the Convention. He will go to
Indianapolis with the backing of his entire
District, we presume.
Henry county has passed resolution in
structing in his favor, on the ground OF his
sacrifices and services as candidate for the
same Office in 1856, and in consideration of
his talent, patriotism, and ability as states
man. Wayne, Randolph, and Fayette have
also adopted similar resolutions, and other
counties in his district will probably do the
same. He will carry a heavy vote to In
dianapolis. He is a strong, convincing
speaker, and very energetic and untiring as
q canvasser.
Colonel Lane has great strength. Many
counties have instructed for him. He will,
doubtless, be the nominee, and if so, will
make splendid and triumphant race, if
nominated on a conservative platform. He
is one of the best stump speakers in the
Union, and a sterling statesman in every
respect.
Mr.. Hendricks would stand poor show
in canvassing with either of these individu-
ais. He is gentleman of popular address,
but inferior as a debater to any of them.
Judge Otto, as keen, brilliant reasoner /;
Judge Morton, as speaker of the sledge-
hammer, logical, irresistible kind; or Col.
Lane, as an impetuous, eloquent, and en-
thusiastic orator-would be more than q
match for Mr.. Hendricks, with the conscious
ness of bad cause, and the odium ofa sup
port of the Administration and its abOm-
Unable Lecompton policy, resting upon him.
The fact that he held Office under Mr.. Buch-
anan till a comparatively recent date, is
proof positive of this in the absence of any
other. The President doesn't allow any dis
senters about him. Mr. Hendricks was not
"guillotined u; he resigned to get the nom
ination for Governor. The Douglas men
could not get him to endorse Popular Sove-
reignty. He shirked any expression, for
fear of being beaten in his aspirations.
This is an ugly record for Douglas Dis
trict, as this is said to be.

R9The Enquirer is much exercised about
whether the Indianapolis Opposition gath
ering of the 22d is to be Convention or q
Mass Meeting. Neighbor, it is a small mat
ter to US what you call it. Your dwelling
on it so much only shows your uneasiness.
It is Mass Meeting in one sense, because
all opposed to the Administration have a
perfect right to be there and participate in
it. 1t is a Convention in another sanse,
because it Is well understood on all hands
that nominations are to be made by it. an
persons going up to take part have all the
rights of delegates, and will be treated as
such. For these reasons the Opposition
here yourselves included), have thought it a
matter of perfect Indifference whether we
called the gathering Convention or Mass
Meeting. These are convertible terms as
applied to that occasion, for the reasons that
we have explained above.
One thing you may set down for fixed
fact: 1t will not be conducted like your
Democratic" State Convention of the 9Th
of January. No John l.. Robinson will
control it; there will be no tickets issued
to favored few; neither will those few
have to be shown, by special constabulary
force, up hog-sehute into their pens. Peo-
pie who go there will be treated like men /;
not like swine.
Further, the " Pocket win not be given
the ego by" as it was by your Conven-
ton

RS Mr.. Hicks, editor of the Rockport
Democrat, after deploring the extremity to
which the country is brought by the hot
Medicines of Northern and Southern fanat-
les, thus speaks of the election of Mr.. Forney:
"Col. John W. Forney, the patriot, the
sound Democrat, and accomplished editor
of the philadelphia Press" was elected on
the first ballot, Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives. This is a just and fitting re-
buke to the staVe code disunionists of the
South, headed by James Buchanan, JEFF.
Davis, Slidell, Gwin, Bright & Co."

nag H. NJ. Smith, of the Vincennes Ga
sette, is candidate for nomination for Aud
itor of State, before the Convention of the
22d February. The Indianapolis journal
thus talks in connection with the above an
nOuncement:
In Southern Indiana there is hard bat
tie to be fought, and as good way to take
advantage of the enemy as any we know of
would be to have one or two candidates in
that section of the State.
