Who r,U be nominated at Baltimore? is
a question often asked, and but seldom sat
isiactorly answered. 1t is as difficult for q
Democrat as il is Republican 10 answer
While we do not profess to be able to throw
any light upon the question, but hum
BILE opinion is that Mr.. Douglas should re-
ceive that nomination. He is the choice oil
O large majority of the party. and his plat
form ought 10 satisfy the most ultra pro-
slavery men in the South. The Doug las
platform declares that they will abide the
decision of the Supreme Court. That de-
cision is interpreted 10 mean that the Con-
stitutiou carries slavery into the territories,
md protects it when there. What more
does the South want? Under their inter
probation, no rule is laid down as 10 how a
negro shall become "a slave-whether by
the law Of slave State, or by having been
brought by force from Africa. Such an in
depreciation is no broader than many given
by democratic Judges. 1t may be contended
that tho law in regard to the slave trade APP
plies only to tbs States and not to the terri
tories, and thus open market in the terri
tories for the slaves brought from tho coast
Of Africa.
1t is true that the friends of Mr. Douglas
IN the North would not consent to such a
policy. yet the South could claim it, with
as much fairness as the Interpretation which
has been given the Cincinnati platform. in
favor Of the policy of the present Admins
tration. We therefore have came to the
conclusion that Douglas o3ght to be nomi
mated at Baltimore. but our private opinion
is that he riil nor BE-

The Homestead BlU.-The House has
ordered a committee Of conference on the
Homestead bill. The practical points of
difference between the House and tie Senate
bills are as follows:
The House bill gives $50 acres to heads
of families. and all persons Il years old
The Senate bill 10 heads OF families only.
The House bill grants all lands subject to
pre-emption. The Senate bill only those
subject to private entry Requires the
President to bring all lands into market
within two years after they are surveyed.
The effect of the two IS the House bill
opens all lands belonging TO Government
to any person who is twenty-one years Of
age or upward, or who is the head OF fam
ily, on payment at the time OF issuing The
patent, OF $40 Tor $50 acres
The Senate bill permits only heads of
families to enter land subject to private en-
try. and requires TIT Presiden. to expose all
the land TO public sale withia two years Of
survey, thus placing them ali within reach
OF the spectators.

ASECparE OF ARE LIscoLS.-We have
been told a characteristic anecdJ ste. related
of Old Abe Lincoln, the Peoples candidate
for the Presidency. which shows the love OF
knowledge, the industry. the conscientious
ness, and the integrity of the subject of this
sketch.
1t is well known that he lived IN Spencer
county, above here in Indiana in his Young
days. tie was hard working lad, and very
eager IN his thirst for knowledge. \ man
named Crawford owned a copy of Wee
mss Lite OF W ashsugtou''- only one
in the whole neishborhood. Young Lin
coin borrowed that Interesting book mot
having the money TO spare TO buy one, and
while reading II, BY slight negligence
lett il in a window, when rain storm came
up. and wet the book so as 70 ruin it. Young
Lincoln felt very badly, but like an honest
boy be went 20 Mr.. Crawford with the
ruined book. acknc sledged his accounta-
10 make due compensation. He said he had
no money, but would work on, the value
OF the book.
The owner OF the book said 10 him
''Well. Abe, being it's You l wont lie
hard on you. If you will come over and
pull fodder for two days L II let you off,
Abe went over accordingly, and pulled
fodder the requisite time; and so tall aud
handy lad was he that Crawford required
him TO pull the fodder OF the tailest stalks,
while he took the shortest ones himself.
This story is told with much gasio By one
OF our prominent citizens who used 10 know
Abe Lincoln in his youger days in Spencer
county, and who now-since the once hum
bic lad has become the choice OF great
party for the highest Office in the world

ports him with enshusiasm.-Eraasriiie jour

ton, and are manufacturing Cassimeres,

work, and for years have worn goods man
ufactured BY Mr.. Test, and we know they
are much more servieeabIe than large por-
ton Of those brought from the east, where
II is too common TO make new cloths out of
old worn out clothes Their machinery is
new and of the most improved style, and
their work is done under the immediate su-
perintsndence of the senior partner, who
has had many years of experience. Our
object in calling attention 10 this factory is
to remind cur farmers and Others of the adj
vantages of supporting home manufacturers.
The farmer by taking his wool to the facto-
ry can exchange it for superior and honestly
made goods, or be can have any kind of
Cloths, Cassimeres, Sattinetts, Tweeds,
Flsnnels, Blankets, &c. made on the shares,
and on more favorable terms than by selling
their wool to be taken east, and then de-
pend upon purchasing goods from the mer-
chants. The proprietors of the Mt. Vernon
Factory also pay the highest market price
for all kinds Of wool. Their establishment
Is short distance southwest Of the city.

Kansas to be killed in tie Sendte'-The
spe sial correspondent, Of the Cincinnati GA
zete, Of Tuesday says:
An important vote was taken to day on
the Kansas bill, which indicated fixed
determination on the part Of the Demo
cratic majority in the Senate to stave off
action this session, so that the State can take
no part in the next Presidential election.
After long speech from Mr.. Green
against the bill. and a rambling discourse
from Mr.. Wigfall. the subject, on motion Of
Mr.. Hunter. was abruptly postponed indef-
initely, in order to take up the Army APP
preparation bill by a vote of SO yeas to 81
nays. There was one pair. Douglas and
Clay. and there were three absences; SO
the vote was the fullest taken this session.
Bright and Fitch, who represent certainly
not one tenth Of the people of Indiana, and
Bigler voted in favor of the postpoument.
Bigler at first tried to excuse bis vote on the
ground that the Senate was full, and there
fore it was not T ghs to take the vote on such
an impoi tant measure. When this dodge W as
exposed he tamely said be would vote to take
up the bill to morrow On that occasion |
apprehend he will dodge again. Such is the
treatment a Free Slate seeking admission in
to the Union, and fully entitled TO such ad-
mission, receives at the hands of the Dem
ocratc party The people of the Free States
Will remember it IN the coming election.
