The procession, which numbered nearly
1900, filled to overlooking the Hall of Free
dom, and listened to addresses. The Jour-
nal and Courier says that the Democracy
pursued their usual course, and assailed
the procession with brickbats, some OF
which inflicted serious injury.
On Monday evening, the Democracy pre-.
maturely exulted over the supposed cleo
ton Of j. E. English, their candidate for
Lieutenant Governor. A crowd of eight or
ten hundred went to rejoice with him, and
took brass hand with them. Mr.. English
thanked them for electing him. told them
they might have elected e better man, but
he would take the Office, and do his best
tc discharge its duties. Then the crowd
hnrrahed, aud Mr.. English invited them all
into the Tontine TO drink--an invitation
most cordially accepted. Unfortunately,

A Look at the surroundings.

In Vigo county as we said yesterday,
nine .tenths of those vino are acting in op-
position to the Democratic party, are Re-
publieans-Republicans from principle,
and who have no preiudiees against the
name. The remaining portion of the OPP
position are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. no
doubt from principle also. Many months
ago, in order that these two elements might
be brought together, aud united as party,
SO that the common enemy might be the
more effectually strangled. an "OPPosi-
ton" party was organized in this county.
One year ago. that party met in COnven-
ton, nominated ticket, went together to
the polls and elected it. By general con
sent the Opposition party, became, all at
once, powerful party. A few weeks ago
both Americans and Republicans met in
an Opposition county Convention, sent
delegates to a State Convention and both
Republicans and Americans met there and
nominated State ticket. Up TO within q
few days the Opposition party Of vigc
county were and with the exception of q
few, are now, acting tremendously together
| Each individual member entertained his
distinctive opinions. still for the purpose
of promoting the common interest and de
featiug the common enemy, they all worked
in the same harness. We have no doub

Victory I'm shelby County-Ben-
bricks Beaten Mt Home.

A very strenuous effort was made by the
Democrats of Shelby county to carry the
local election there last Monday. The
Banner says that Mr.. Hendricks, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor. (who re-
sides in Shelbyyille,) and all his friends
worked, spoke and exhor;ed their parti-
sans. for days before the election, and left
no effort untried to bring out full vote
and big victory. The Democratic organ
published the following stirring appeal
which shows the Importance that the par.
ty attached to the elections:
Every Republican vote deposited in the
ballot box in Addison township on Mon
day next will not only be counted again 81
the Democratic township candidates, bu
against Thomas A. Hendricks and the
Democratic party, and will be brought Il
bear in the coming Fall election with tell
ing effect. IL will be telegraph

The election, therefore, was test Of Nj

And the rustling, crimson lesaets
Gently falling thro' the breeze;

Not Of nowers, sunlight or trees
Not OF shadows, brightly dancing
Thro' the trembling, whispering leaves
But thought comes sweetly stealing
From the chambers OF my soul.
Like dream that's brightly written

Down the rough-hewn path Of time,

Cleaned the sunshine of ssaI.
Oh better for this worlds proud spirits.

A NEW ENTERPRISE, AND SUccEss.-A
"broad tread" car loaded with lard, left
St. Louis on Sunday night, March 25th,
and passing over the T. II. A. d st. Louis,
and the T. H. d R. Railroads to Indianap
oils, thence to Cleveland and Buffalo, and
thence to New York city, which place it
reached on Saturday, the 3lst, without
"breakirg bulk" Leaving New York ON
Monday last, loaded with merchandise,
it passed this point on Saturday morning,
on its return to ST. Louis which place it
would reach that night.
This is an experiment put on trial by
Mr.. W. d. oriswold, the enterprising Su-
perintendent, and as this trial has proved
success we doubt not it will be carried
forward with great advantage to the road
of which he has the management. That
our readers may all fully understand the
object OF this undertaking we will state
that from st. Louis to indianapolis the
gage of the road is feet 81 inches, thence
to Buffalo the gage is A feet 10 inches,
thence to New York it is again feet 81
inches. To obyiate the difficulty of get
ting narrow tread cars over the wide track
from Indianapolis to Buffalo, Mr.. Girls.
void had constructed broad wheels which,
on the narrow track, would extend over
the rails, and when they reach the wide
track they will cover the rails, by this
means passing over the entire line of the
roads. without the necessity of re shipping
freight.
The whole arrangement is highly credit
able to the genius and intelligence of Mr..
Griswold, and will prove a great convs-
nience to the shippers, and vast profit
to the narrow track roads OF the West
Two weeks from st. Louis to New York
and return, with a full freight, is an
achievement worthy the age in which we
live. aud of the intelligence Of the man
who devised the plan by which 1t could
be accomplished.

LOCAL CApsEs.--It is a singular coinci.
dence that wherever the Democracy has
been beaten during the late elections that
some "loeal cause" prevailed to bring
about such result, while in those few
places where it succeeded as in Linton and
Lest Creek, the superior excellence Of
Democratic organization and Democratic
doctrines, wac the cause. Local causes
will be prevalent during the balance Of
this year, we presume.
There was q local cause in Harrison
Township last Monday where we beat the
best and strongest man in that party by
ITO votes. The cause was a Prepaieni

and sustain and support it by large vote.
They, however, are the non slaveholding
class-a class OF timid men. They are
the bone and muscle and heart Of the en-
tire South-but they want more courage.
They have long submitted to the dorni-
neering Of few-a leader is now required
in every township. in every county and in
every slave State to raise the standard of
Republication and rally the thousands to
its support. Ii this was done, the section

their enemies would vanish to thin air, and
The great doctrines now advocated by them
