B5~ Does it occur to our citizens that
Evansville will not get credit for as many
inhabitants as she contains, in the Census
returns of this year, by from one to two
thousand ?
Let any person look at a map of the city
and see what territory is outside the city Iim-
its, and then 60 around the edges of the
place particularly over Pigeon Creek, and
in the North and East suburbs-and witness
the young towns which have grown mp
there-and the conclusion will at once be
reached that Mt least 1000. and maybe 1000
people live outside of the city, who ought
in justice to be counted in our population.
Can not some means be devised for getting
the census of these outsiders?

HIGH PRICE FOR MULEs.-Mr. VIM. Fer
guson, of this county, few days ago, sold
to Mr.. Franklin Ford, also of this county,
ffty-fve mule colts, yearlings this spring,
for $1,000, or 1927 27 per head. This is
the largest price we have ever known to be
paid for mules Of this age in so large lot
We are told that 50 of the colts cost Mr.
Ferguson, last fall, 800 head on an aver
age. The other two cost him, one $160 and
the other $40. Of course, they are an ex-
traordinary lot of stock.-Paris Citizen.

MrsrAkrS.-we clip the following fror

MIsTAKEN.-We clip the following from
the Oregon Argus of February the 10Th.
Mr.. Stewart a sectional member of Con-
gress, stated in a speech, Dec. II, 1859, that
in case the Republicans elected President
in 1860, California and Oregon would Join
the South in taking steps to dissolve the
Union. We presume Jo Zane told Stewart
so. Lane has shown himself the most ser
vile tool of the disunon salamanders that
misrepresents any free State in Congress-
lie packed a challenge for Rully Brooks to
Burlingame-he associates in Washington
City, we areaolG, with none but Southern
Democrats-an1 he told us at Lafayette last
spring with his own mouth that lie had sold
out the Democracy OF Oregon g for ten
years to the South, on condition that the
South should vote for the admission of Or
egon into the Union. OF course, if the
South goes out of the Union, Oregon is
bound by 10 Lanes ''bill of sale" to go
with her. and serve her ten gears. Now we
haven't the least objection to 10 Lane Civ
ilg a bill of sale of Hibben, or even of De-
luSiOn, but when disunion traitors come
here claiming Oregon under Lanes bill oil
sale, we viii turn them over Delusion and
Slater under the fugitive slave law" If
they don't leave then we will hang them
higher than Old Brown.

DIatrt.t Convention.

A correspondent OF the Petersburg (PIke
county, Reporter of the 18th, "urges upon
the Republicans of this Congressional Dis
trict the propriety of holding Republican
Convention, at some suitable point say Pc
tersburgh, for the purpose of putting III
nomination a candidate for Congress" He
then goes on to say: Shall we hold Con-
vention, or consent to be beaten in advance,
as we usually do?S and proposes Tuesday,
the 18th of June, as suitable time for the
proposed Convention.
AS the writer in the Reporter asks the
opinion OF the Evansville journal land
other papers) on the subject, We give orr
views:
We say, if the Republicans " of the
First Congressional District are Uery anxious
to meet together, to nominate candidate
for Congress, in order to be most inglorious-
ly beaten, they have perfect right to do so.
But.if the Republicans of this District
wish to follow the sensible example of the
last Republican State Central Committee,
we are ready to entertain I" "E.'s' PROPOSE
tion-otherwise we are not.
By following that example, We mean the
calling of Convention of all the OPPoSs-
ton of the District, to meet together and
nominate some d" good man " for Congress,
with the disposition to ask and the intention
to accept the votes of Wings, Americans,
and disafIected Democrats, and all others
opposed to Lecompton Democracy. In
such movement, the correspondent of the
RepOrter may count US in"
If the writer quoted, changes his PROPOSE
ton as suggested, we shall probably say
that the time and place mentioned would
suit the Opposition down here very we'll
Petersburgh is reasonably central and ac-
cessible, and the time is about right. We
do not know of any reason why the time
and place should not be satisfactory to the
Opposition of the District We are speak
ing on our own responsibility; not for any
body else.
We do, however, protest strenuously
against starting the movement rs suggested
by the Reporters correspondent. Let the
call be for a District Convention of the OPP
position to the present Administration, and
we predict, whatever the time and wherever
the place, rOusing" attendance. We
are rather favorable to Convention, but by
all means let it be called rightly.
There is a District Executive Committee
to attend to these matters, and to them, also,
we direct these remarks.

THE Cleveland Herald contrasts the pres
ent with former times regarding investiga-
tions
"When the Democratic party, after the
election of President Taylor, charged cor
ruption upon that Administration, and par
tcularly upon Mr.. Ewing, then in the Cabi-
net, that fearless statesman and honest man,
lawyer though he was, stopped not to scruti-
nize the form of the complaint, raised no
constitutional objections, but demanded that
the investigating committee, at whose head
was his bitterest foe, Richardson, of Illinois,
should be thorough and prompt. He threw
open tie doors of his Department, challeng-
ing scrutiny into every act. History tells
US that Mr.. Ewing c.nIe out of that ordeal
with not even the smell of corruption upon
his garments"

GEORGIA Regulates sDoUGLAs.-W Whether
" the South will bolt at Charleston if Doug
las is nominated" remains to be seen, but
of one thing we feel very confident, and
that is that thousands of true Democrats in
Georgia will bolt the nomination of the
Convention if Douglas is the nominee. No
argument OF expediency, nor even appre-
henSion of Black Republican trinmph,
can induce the Democrats of Georgia to in
dorSe Douglas squatter sovereignty heresy,
which, in its practical effects, would be as
fatal to the rights of the Sonth in the Ter
ritories, as any doctrine preached by Sew
ard himself Those Southern Journals who
have interpreted the action of the late Con-
vention at Milledgeville, in sending dele
gates to Charleston uEinstructed, rs favOring
the nomination of Douglas, have done in
justice to the Convention and to the Democ-
racy of Georgia.-SaUaRnah Ners.

could readily grant, if We thought slavery
/ right; all we ask, they could as readily grant,
/ II they thought it wrong. Their thinking II
/ right, and our thinking II wrong, Is the pre-
else fact upon which depends the whole con

are not to blame for desiring full recognl-

+ as we do, can we yield TO them? Can we
! cast our votes with this view, and against our
own? In view Of our moral, social and po-
( Iitical responsibilities, can we do this? l'No,
no" and applause.)
Wrong as we think slavery Is, we can yet
afford TO LET IT ALONE WHERE IT IS, because
I that much is due to the necessity arising
from its actual presence in the nation but
can we, while our votes will prevent it, allo W
. il to spread into the national Territories and
to overrun US here in these free States? (''Ao

then let US stand by our duty, fearlessly and
effectively. Let us be diverted by none OF

are so industriously piled and beabored--
contriyances such as cropping for some MD
die ground between the right and the wrong
vain as the search for a man who should be
neither a living man nor dead man-such
as the policy Of " don't care on question
about which all true men care-such as Union
appeals beseeching true Union men to yield
to disunionists, reversing the divine rule, and
calling, not the sinners, but the righteous to
repentance prolonged cheers and laughter)
such as nvocations Of Washington, implor-
ing men to unsay what Washington said, and
undo what Washington did. Neither let us
be slandercd from our duty by false accusa-
tions against us, nor frightened from it by
menaces Of destruction to the government,
nor of dungeons to ourselves. (Applause.) J
Let Us have faith that right makes might ;
and in that faith, let US, TO the one, dare to DO
cur duty, as we understand it.
The so-called democratic papers are also

by Mr. Douglas, in which he attempted to
cast a slur on Lincoln by alleging that he
at one time kept a grocery, and in Congress
opposed the Mexican war, but not one has
had the manliness to give Mr.. Lincoln's re-
ply. He said
The Judge is wofully at fault about his
