There was King OF Alabama elegant, high,
minded, accomplished, alSo,--who, though not
old, became the father of the Senate, from his
lony continuous service there. There was Poin-

cloud Laughter)
Among these strong men, there doomed Up
Webster, Iiaync, Benton, with Calhoun at one
time presiding over the body, aud 1T another
time, a member of it. Mighty questions were
before those mighty men rivals for the lavors
of their coIntryincn. The United States Bank,
the Protective tariff, the Public Lands, the agi.
tating matters of Finance, were mingled up
with the gravcr topics of Modification, Secs
sion, State rights, Federal Power, and the Fl.
NOUS Proclamation of Gen. Jackson against
his native State, South Carolina. Webster
ranged himself on the side Of Gen. Jackson.
The lightning like eloqucncc of lIaync flashed
against, and struck upon the Wcbsterian
shield; but all in vain. The giants themselves
of the Senate Chambcr--Ciay and Webster
next came into hot collision upon the subject
of n gradual reduction Of the Tariff of 1928
CLAY for, Webster against it. The debate was
uureported; but it was one Of the most bril-,
liant struggles Of those giant minds. These
were indeed troublous times. South Carolina
| had mustered in Charleston, all b~ristling in
arms, and Gen. jackson had sent Gen. Scott
with Col. Bankhcad and others to meet war
with war. But amid and over all this storm.
there looked out one serene spirit that hushcd
and claimed the whole; for what was Neptune,
as Virgil describes him, to the tumultous sea,
so was Clay to the United States Senate.

Telegraphic.

1t will be seen. by reference to our dis
patches, that the Douglas men achieved a
signal triumph at the State Convention
a resolution instructing the Delegates to the
Charleston Convention to cast their vote for
Douglas was passed by a large majority
Cyrus L. Dunham having Withdrawn his
name as a candidate, Thomas A. Hendricks
was nominated for Governor by acclama-
tion.
Our city was honored in the appointment
of ]. Smith Gavitt as delegate to Charles
ton from the First Congressional District,
and James NJ. Shankhn as State Elector.
We also publish in another column, call
for Convention of all who are opposed to
the policy Of the present Administration"
The call is eminently conservative and, we
doubt not, will meet with a candid ap-
proval in this part of the State. 1t will be
seen that the name Republican isignored
in the call.

| vote tor Douglas, he would pay no atten-
| ton to such Instructions claiming that his
| District could alone instruct him.
| S. H. Buskirk advocated instructions, and
| claimed that this Convention had the right
| TO substitute the name of any one as DEL
| egate, when the one recommended refused
in advance to abide by its instructions.
| Mr.. Vandegrift denied the right to strike
out and insert the name of any delegate
| recommended by the District delegation,
and in such event his county would with
draw from the Convention.
| Eddy advocated instructions for Douglas,
and claimed that this Convention could in
struct the whole delegation to Charleston,
to cast its vote as unit for Douglas, and
such instructions would be binding.
Gov. Willard said, if Indiana is for Doug
las, the delegates ought to vote for him, but
the true way was to let them obey such in
structions as might be given by their districts.
But he would advise no instructions from
any quarter.
Gov. Dunning said ne loved Stephen A.
Douglas and his principles. Gov. Willard
had said he had advised an Administration
delegate to vote for Douglas, and why should
not this Convention do the same thing to
all the delegates, by a resolution of instruc-
ton. The delegates selected here were to
represent the whole State, not particular
portions of it, and as delegates for the whole
State, the Convention had the power to in
struct each and all.
After some disorder and votes upon i'm
material amendments, the resolution as of
fered by Col Walker was adopted, by yeas
265; nays, l29.
Mr.. Gavin reported as electors for the
State at large, Cyrus L. Dunham and john
c. Walker contingents, 7. A. Hammond
and Paris @. Dunning Delegates to
Charleston, for the State at large, E. NJ.
Huntington, S. H. Buskirk, J. b. Foley,

Fulwiler, John McManama, Jeremiah Smith
and Joseph Edison.
A minority report was received recon-
mending the name of d. Rickets instead of
j. &. Foley, which was laid on the table
and the report was concurred in.
The following persons were reported to
the Convention by the District Delegate
Committees as delegates to the National

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10, 1860.
left the " Crescent City on the 1925
train, this morning, and came through all
right, via our Evansville Il Charlottesville
Railroad and the Terre Haute & Richmond
Railroad. We got into rain storm up
about Vincennes, and had rain and fog the
balance of the way. When we reached
here we found the most disagreeable wealth
er imaginable-rainy, with fog that
would do for London.
The town is alive with politicians, and
all the hotels are literally crowded. The
"unterrifed Democracy are here in their
strength The train we came on to Terre
Haute had number aboard, and the Terre
Haute Richmond train had enough to fill
three cars. A number of prominent Oppo-
sition politicians are also here, taking notes
Among them notice Col. Henry S. Lane,
of Charlottesville, looking better than
have seen him for years. "The Pocket"
is well represented by the Democracy.
The Douglas men are in high glee. They.
say that everything is in their favor-that
they have large majority of the delegates
and seem to entertain no doubt of passing
Douglas resolutions and instructions for the
"Little Giant a sort of general class
meeting was held by the Democracy in Ma
senic Hall to-day, and the Douglas men, at
every mention of their favorites name,
would :: bring down the house." Governor
Willard tried to speak, but could not make
himself heard, even with his strong voice.
This is what / was told by Douglas man.
Jesse D. Bright (the arch-manager and
wire-worker) is here, roomed tonight with
a few of the faithful, laying his plans to
prevent the convention tomorrow from in

delegates frona the First District.
There will be warm time tomorrow.

MORE TRUE THAN coMMENDABLE.-In the
course of the debate, yesterday, in the Dem
ocratic State Convention, Ex-Governor
Dunning replied to Gov. Willard's appeals
for fairness. Gov. Dunning thought the cry
of " fairness might be made in good faith,
but IL acas an outside issue
1t seems, then, "fairness in Conventions
is regarded by Democratic politicians as an
outside issue. The people, who think they
are having their wishes carried out through
the instrumentality of Conventions, should
bear this candid acknowledgment in mind
Whatever opinions we may have as to the
discreetness of the Governors expression,
its truth is unimpeacbable.

pemocrattc HARMONY.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. II, P. NJ
During the speech of the Hon. G. l. Dun
ham, this morning, in the Convention, with
drawing his name as candidate for Cover
nor, he was interrupted by Col. Allen May,
delegate, who questioned him. in-what
was generally considered by the Conyen-
tion--an impertinent manner. After the
adjournment at noon, May met Dunham on
the street, and asked an explanation. Dun
ham said he had none to make May then
attacked him suddenly by blow in the
face, which was returned by Dunham
striking rapidly three times, cutting May s
face to the bone each blow. They were soon
separated. There seems to be but one SEN
timent in regard to the matter, and that is
favorable to Dunham.

LEAvENwoRrH, Jan. Il, P PM.-The Pixies
Peak Express arrived here this afternoon,
in less than seven days from Denver City,
bringing four passengers, and $22, 500 in
gold dnst. Business was rather dull in
Denver City. Many of the miners were re-
turning to the mining camts, in consequence
of the mild weather, to resume operations.
Several new and extensive quartz discover
les have been made, and large quantities
were being taken out, ready for crushing.
A great deficiency in proper machinery is
experienced. The pyrite of iron which is
found to great extent accompanying it,
has been subjected to tests which prove
it to be capable of yielding a large portion
of gold. The general health was good.
Tbs Salt Lake mail, with dates to the
22d, has also arrived, but brings no news of
interest.
Gov. Beal came passenger from Denver
City, en- route for Washington, with me-
mortal to Congress for a provisional
government for Jefferson Territory.

National Opposition Convention, to assem-
in Chieago,on the 18th of June next.
he Patriot endorses the call, IN toto, and
ays there is nothing in it to prevent the
entire Opposition of the Southern States
from meeting in the Convention, and join
ing in the formation of platform and pres
idential ticket; that there is nothing in the
call inconsistent with the teachings Of the
Fathers of the Republic. The same paper

LAWRENCE, Mass, Jan. lIth, ii M.-If
we could forget the occasion of our crowded
Streets we should at once conclude that
some great occasion or gala day had ar
rived; but the air of sadness, and almost de-
spair, so visibly depicted on the counte-
nances of our citizens, keeps the dark re-
ality before our minds Each train from
every direction comes in laden to its ut
most capacity with living friends WI hon
We consider that not less than one hundred
and fifty long passenger cars have been in
here to-day, some realizing idea may be ar
rived at in regard to the number of our vis-
itors. The morning and forenoon were
used in removing the rubbish, after being
sufficiently cooled, in order, if possible, to
gather the bodies known to be under the
ruins. Quite number were got out. Two
persons were taken out alive early in the
morning.
A squad of canvassers was ordered, and
the whole city laid out into small districts,
and a pretty thorough canvass was entered
into, the men going from house to house,
thereby ascertaining in every family where
persons were either wounded, missing, or
safe. The summing up shows that 62 per-
sons are missing this embraces all those
known TO have been killed, and those of
which no tidingS have been obtained. 1t is
admitted by these who have gone into the
investigation that 80 persons are yet immo-
lated in the brick and mortar. One hun
dred and thirty dead bodies have been re-
moved to the City Hall, or have been deliv-
cred to recognizing friends.
Previous to the fire, two sisters were to-
gether and comparatively unhurt, and they
would have been rescued Hearing the
roar OF the flames, they exclaimed, Oh,
God we. have got to die. One woman
shrieked out piteousy that the fire was
burning her hair, but the flames soon after
silenced her cry. 1t has already been stated
that one man cut his throat. The awful
death that some died by the fire was fear
fully Attested by their baked and blackened
forms, when taken out, not looking any
thing like those of human beings.
