The Enemy Discouraged.

The remark of Washington correspon-
friends Of Mr.. Seward who labored so zeal
ously for his nomination, are not really as
much disappointed and mortified at the re-
suit of the Chicago Convention, as the lead
ing managers of the Democratic party" is
true. These very sincere friends y of Mr..
S. looked with hope and confidence to his
nomination as the certain panacea for all the
distractions and difficulties with which their
party is just now afflicted. There can be no
doubt that their whole programme for the
Presidential canvass was prepared with this
expectation. Hence, all their stage thunder,
to say nothing Of the lightning, has to be
thrown aside like old lumber, and packed
away for the chance of future use. The Cir
repressible conflict" machine went work
to order, and the other revolutionary contriv-
ances, out of which so much excitement was
to be pumped up, are utterly useless. No
wonder the leaders look downcast and des-
pairing. They begin to realize that they are
now standing between two fires, both of which
are fast consuming their chances North and
South. Turn which way they will, their pros
pect is discouraging. Even truce and fe
union at Baltimore, which every day renders
more improbable, would not improve their
desperate condition. Defeat stares them in
the face, and they may begin to count the
hours of departing power, with the certainty
that it will not return for many years to come,
if ever. They have corrupted and democrat
lied the government, and must pay the PEN
atty Of that crime. The PEOPLE demand a
change, the seeds of which are already plant
ed, to be reaped in an abundant harvest in

This Number.

We send our first number to gentlemen
whose names have been handed US, as leading
men, who will appreciate the necessity of sus-
tanning US. We shall not exact money on
subscription, in any case in which the sub
scriber would rather pay as in produce; and
we do not desire any one to whom we thus
send, to feel obliged to pay US before he can
get returns from the next harvest. Nor do
we wish any one to feel that he is under any
obligation to continue to take it as subscri-
Der, simply because he receives this number.
We hope every one will estimate the cause
and the Importance of such paper in this
city, and if he can possibly take it, and feels
that the great interest of human freedom has
a claim upon him, then allow US to continue
sending it, and pay for it when it is convenient
to do so. Otherwise, if any DO not want it
althcog h we think few, if any, will thus con-
clude--then be so kind as to return it to Ms.

all times to insert general matter of leading

WHAT WILL BE DONE AT BALTIMORE.-The
Madison Argus and Democrat asks and answers
this query and as it speaks for a considerable
portion Of the Democratic party in this state, we
make some extracts from its article. The Ar
gus says:
The clements are gathering for the Balti-
more Convention, and it is not difficult for pol
itician of ordinary sagacity to tell what the re-
suit will be. The friends Of Douglas are still
very confident. Some assert that his nomina-
ton will certainly take place. This can hard
ly take place without most violent struggle
struggle likely to end in the disruption ofthe Con-
vention. The proposition to 'stock" the Con-
yention with Southern Douglas men, in place of
the seceders, will not be likely to succeed"
The Argus concludes from these premises
| that Mr.. Douglas cannot get any more votes at
Baltimore than he obtained at Charleston; but
it adds that, falling in the effort to nominate him.
his friends have desperate game on foot
This is to ''repeal the two-thirds rule nominate
him by majority, kick the minority overheard
and appeal directly to the People.n The Ar
gus holds that this would be a dangerous ex-
pertinent, and ''too rash and reckless to be
adopted except in the heat of passion, or as the
alternative of despair" and it proceeds to de-
fend, at length. the two-thirds rule, as justified
by the experience of twenty years. Sentinel.

Lincoln and Hanllill.

The manner in which the nomination of
these gentlemen has been generally received,
is sufficient proof that the Chicago Conven-
ton acted wisely in selecting them as the
Republican standard bearers in the Presi-
dental Campaign. Very little fault has been
found with the action of the convention, and
that has been confined to but one or two
states. Even in these, it is conceded that
Mr.. Lincolns chances for an election are bet
ter than those of any other man, who could
have been nominated. In most of the States
there is perfect whirlwind of enthusiasm
for OLD ABE. His ability, and what is Of
more consequence in these degenerate
times, his integrity, are beyond question. Ev-
cry one who knows him, whether friend or
foe, will bear testimony to this fact. Should
he be elected President his administration
will be characterized by that independence
and purity, which would in some measure
atone for the corruption, recklessness and ex-
travagance, of the present administration.
This would be classed by the future historian
with those administrations which belonged
to the purer days of the Republic.
Perhaps no candidates ever started upon
the Presidential course, since the days of
Jackson, with brighter prospects of success
than Lincoln and Hamlin. Let the Repub-
licans but do their duty, and an easy victo-
ry will crown their efforts. Let personal
preferences and disappointments be forgot
ten, and let all true Republicans everywhere,
join heart and hand in the contest which is
before US, well assured that they have lead
ers worthy of their best efforts and of the
great cause in which they are engaged.

While most of the other Religious societies
here are well supplied with suitable places
of Worship, the new society calling itself
"Liberal Christians, is still destitute Of this
important provision. Rev. Mr.. Buckley, of
Evansville, preached to this society in the
School House in the LIST ward, on Sunday the
10th inst, very much to the satisfaction of
his hearers. He is a good speaker, and we
think this society could not do better than to
employ him, if he can be had. Only a few
hundred dollars will build comfortable and
agreeable place Of worship for several hun
dred people, as we have often seen demon
strated by experiment. Even such place
of meeting tastefully fitted up, would add at
traction to our city of Churches. After a bet
ter provision was made, the structure would
answer for some less sacred purpose. The
number of public buildings of this character
in use in a community, very correctly indi-
Gates its character, and has much to do in
inducing strangers to settle amongst US. We
hope soon 10 see this society, which seems to
be quite numerous and wealthy, supplied with
both preacher and sanctuary.
