INDIANA POLITICS.,
Henry S. Line, Republican candidate for
Governor Of tho State, and T. A. Hendrick,
his pro-slavery opponent have already com.
menced their CANVASS before the people, which
will he kept up Until November. Thus far,
according to Republican testimony, Lane hns
proved m overrnatch for his opponent, not
only IN augmentation, but in tho smaller items
appertaining 10 specch-making, which add to
the strength md popularity Of a candidate.
The excitement growing out Of the contest
and the position Of the parties in view Of the
approaching Presidential election, is already
high; and, If We may credit the predictions CT
the papers, Indiana will DO ain blaze be-
fore November comes. We copy tho follow.
ing from one Of Lanes recent speeches, to
show the style in which he has commenced
his work:
But gentlemen gay TINT they are in favor Of
the admission Of free Stntcs as much as We are
oh. yes. of course they are. DO you remember
IN 1870 The agitation consequent upou the great
stru0xle for tne admission of California into
the Union? DO you recollect tha. that admis
s&on ~as 0ppnsed br the whole Democratic
party ID the South: When California came to
us ar1aved in her IN her sunset robes, with l,er
bridal garments spaogled with gold, mud asked
au espouacr into the american Cniou, who
stood at tbe door to Thrust her back: The De.
mocratio party tint now IL SO much in favor Of
the admission Of free States. The whole ncita.
ton in 1850, arose from the f-ct that The De.
ruocracy OF the South opposed the admission oi
California with q free Stale constitution, and
when Kansas asked aemss,on with free State
constitution the same party was found 10 spurp
her petition for admission iu1o the famjjy OF
Statcs; and If she were permitted to come in,
It Wan To be under circumstances degradluc to
the character Of her free1ncn
hon remember how the doctrine was preached
oser the country that the people Of Kansas had
q right to egisf4te for themselves on this sub.
jet Of slavery. The miserable ghost of Popular
sovereignty even now Occasionally Fi.its the
glmpses OF tbs moon and disturbs The slumber
OF OLD line poll icians. Lau2hter.i
Doug'as SAID, at Freeport. thss By " uufriend-
II Legislation" slavery could be excluded, He
said Ut the same lime that he sanctioned and
approved tho Dred Scott decision. His posi.
tion. then, Is this: That slavery mar be legally
carried INTO Kansas, end under s'unfriepdIv
legislation" it may be rs legally crushed out
That ia the whole argument Douglas said, in
LIS FFeepoTt speech, that slavery could oplr
only exist by virtue OF local law In his New
Orleans speech he said that the South had the
xAme right to carry their slaves into the Terri.
tories as they had to take any other pronerty.
How does it, then, 80 there at ali? IF ii does
not 60 under the Constitution, but onty under
local law, how does it get there?

considerable zeal. The argument in its .savor,
so far US we have observed, is based entirely
upon abstract principle, there being no charge
preferred against the clergy Of an oppressive
use Of the power which the constitution or the
Church confcrs upon them. The friends ot the
proposed change believe that it would increase
the popularity Of the Church to place its
Legislative functions upon more democratic
basis But strange as it may seem, it il ncv-
crtehless true, that the proposition has more
advocates among tho clergy than among tho
lalty. The majority OF votes Of Quarterly
Conferences and other bodies Of laymeo, is
largely against lay delegation, so far as heard
from, and it is not likely that the General
Conference will inaugurate the change without
some more marked demonstration in its favor
On the part Of the lay membership.
The other question relates to the time which
a preacher may be appointed to the same
charge. At present the limit is two years.
and it is proposed 10 extend the period one
year longer: Three years is the Limit among
the Hethodists both Of England and Canada,
and tho proposed alteration would make tho
rule uniform throughout tho connection. The
expression Of the Churches in favor Of this
change has been pretty uniform, and it will
probably be made.
The Northwestern Conferences will ask
unanimously that the Book Depository Of the
Church in this city be erected into IN inde-
pendent branch book concern with equal
powers with the branch at Cincinnati ltia
understood, also, that IN effort will be made
to consolidate all the publishing interests Of
the Church under ono Agency, residing at the
principal points Of publishing, instead Of aepa-
rate 'Concerns" rs at present. Few persons
outside Of the denomination have any ado

Plymouth Gold Mines.

The gold diggings of Plymouth are be-
than ever before, and especially upon Read
ing Pond and Buffalo Brooks. Upon these
streams there are twenty dams, in the
distance of two miles, and more than a
dozen claims have been successfully worked
this summer. AT this time several of the
miners are absent, most of them being en-
gagged in haying, but still enough remain to
do considerable at gold washing. Two
commodious boarding houses Ohe Cen
| trail House" and Buffalo Brook Hotel,")
are erected on the banks of the streams, in
the deep gorge through which they run,
and several sbanties and tents are dotted
along the valley.
In ascending Reading Pond Brook, the
following is the order in which the claims
occur, that are now being worked, viz
Smith & Baldwin, N. Buckley & Co., Dun.
ham & Brown, z. Smell & Co., Smith 4
Robbins, Cheney * Co., ii. G. Amidon,
Flanders g. Co., Whitker & Co., f. w
Coolidge. Then in passing up Buffalo
Brook, tributary of Reading Pond Brook
the following are the companies having
claims, viz: Beals & Graves, Frisbee &
Smith, Hathorn & Tuck.
Many of the miners, and nearly all that
are successful, are returned Californans
several of whom express the opinion thai
the chances of getting gold in Plymouth
are better, for men of moderate means
than those to be found in California
Messrs. Beals d Graves are probably as
successful as any now at work on Buffalo
Brook, and from a reliable source, it is
found that in four months, last season, they
took out over twenty-five hundred dollar;
worth uf dust. They say that their claim
produces better this season than it did last
They are industrious and persevering men
and know how to wash gold and although
they board more than a mile from Their
work, still, in working hours they are gen
orally at their claim.
Most of their gold is found on the bee
rock which is about eight or ten feet below
the surface, and to test the value of the
gravel at that depth, last week, panfu
was taken from which was washed owe
FIVE dollars worth of gold. The digging
is not confined to the bed Of the stream,
this season, but several companies, for III
reason that it requires less outlay to get t
work. and is more comfortable working i

DESTRUCTION OF REPUBLICAN, LIB
ERTY POLKA dispatch to the New-York
Herald Of yesterday gives an account of
the outrageous destruction of liberty pole
erected by the Republicans at Occoquan,
Va We quot from ii;
son the morning Of the 9th ult,, the
Republicans hoisted the American flag
and party ensign, bearing the names of
Lincoln and lIamln. AT halfpost o'clock
the Prince William Cavalry, Capt, Thorn
ton commanding, entered the village, and
ranged themselves in the neghborhood Of
the pole. They were followed by com
pany of about forty strong, under command
of Capt. Fitzhugh and Maj. Carter, who,
paying no attention whatever TO the horse
men, quietly formed in Il hollow square
around the pole, facing inwards. Whilst
this company was surrounding the pole
Mr.. Joseph L. Janney advanced to the
captain of the troop of horse and claimed
protection for his property, upon which the
pool stood.
AT tie word Of command, James w.
jackson, Of Fairfax, stalwart yeoman,
sprang forward and gave the first blow.
Others followed, redoubling stroke on
stroke. During the time there was no in
terruption, save the Republicans and others
who stood at corners near by, would cry
out, Saint your axe dull?" Hope you're
having good iime," &c. In a few min
utes, however, there was a cry of "Stand
from under and the pole came to the
ground. Instantly the crowd gave three
cheers, when the Republicans responded by
"Three cheers for Hamln. All were
quietly at work on the fallen pole, and in
less time than it takes to tell it was chopp-
ed up and the peices carried off. The flag
was sent TO Brentsville.
So soon as the flag pole was leyelled,
Capt. Fitzhugh ordered 'about face" and
his company marched of, saluted as they
went by mingled jeers and applause
During the evening there was some excite
ment, and personal rencontre took place
between Col. Brawner and Joseph L. jan
ney, in which the latter was considerably
injured. The crowd cleared away during
the evening, and at shutdown all was quiet
The Republicans say they will put up
another pole on the same site.
A report reached here tonight, (2Sth ult)
through parties who were at 0ccoquan
yesterday, that the greatest excitement pre-
vailed at that place when they left that
several Republicans had been attacked, and
severe fights resulted. One statement is,
that Mr. Janney, Bell and Everett man.
an old settler in Virginia, a large property
holder, and the owner of the land where
the liberty pole was erected-was brutally
assailed and beaten because he asserted
that he had the right 10 declare his own
principles upon his own homestead, and to
premit others to exercise their rights with
in his own grounds if it pleased him to do
so.

ey suppose that enlightened and honest

attempts Preserve your dignity, gentle

"Equality Of tie States" is no new
phrase. 1t has been upon the lips of south
ern disunions,s for years, but it is some
what new in this latiude--we think this
the first instance where it has been used as
a party motto or rallying cry except by
protested disunoni5ts. When ratification
presented its hdeous head in South Caro-
lima, and mad diSunionis,s threatened overt
acts OF treason the nuifiers raised the cry
of "Equaiay of Me States" In 1850 and
1851 when Yancey and bis Southern
League" attempted the dissolution of the
Union, they cried out "Equahy Of The
States when the disunionist met in Con-
ven,ion at Nashville, and sacriligiously
trampled under their feet the bones of An
drew jackson, fend-like, they screamed
+" Equality Of the States when ranting,
bullying disunion democrat undertakes to
carry or defeat a measure in Congress BY
threatening and brow-beating, he talks
about the Equality Of te States and
when the disunion democracy call their
Conventions in Vermont they head their
calls with Equality Of The States :"
The true significance of this phrase
and the idea conveyed by the disunionists
in their frequent use of it, is this each
State, being in itself sovereign State, is
not only equal to its co-sovereign States,
but equal to the Union of the States; and
that the government of the Union has no
right to control the sovereign States, eX-
cept by the permission of these States
And whenever a sovereign State sees fit to
discover its political connection from the
other States, the other States being equal,
have no right to interfere with such State.
In short, each and every State has right
to dissolve the Union by stepping out of it,
at any time the whims or caprice, the folly or
madness of its political leaders shall dictate
such course. This is disunion doctrine,
and what has been and is understood by
the Wanted phrase Equality of the States"
Well did Daniel Webster say, ''if this is
the bond of our Union it is but rope Of
sand"
1t is strange-"it is passing strange'-to
what length men sane upon most subjects,
and honorable and respected in the ordina-
ry walks Of life, will go, and what means
they will adopt to carry out their party
purposes and retain their hold on political
power.
The recklessness and unscrupulousness
of the democracy is truly alarming. There
is scarcely any shift, any cheat or any sub
terluge, TO which they will not resort to
save their waning power. And nothing
but the success of the principles of the Re
publican party, or Divine interposition, can
save our Union from the destruction to
which the democracy in their mad career,
are fast fastening it.

SOUTHERN ELECTIoNs.-Several of the
Southern States held elections last Monday.
The Republicans of course have but little
stock among Shareholders and do not expect
anything, though we are gratiied to learn
that the gallant Frank Blair, Republican,
has been elected to Congress from St. Louis,
Mo-, by 1000 majority. This is glorious
victory. For the short term of three
months coalition was formed by the Bell
Everetts and democrats and they were sue
eessful by few votes. North Carolina
and Arkansas go democratic, and Kentucky
goes against Beckingide by a coalition o.
Douglas and Bell-Everetts.
