GOV. STE VEINS.

1t may not be generally known that the
Hon. l. l. Stevens, late Governor of the
Territory Of Washington, and now Chair.
man of the Breckinridge Committee, Is a
debtor to the United States in the sum Of
over $40, 900. Such would appear, from
official documents, to be the fact. We
have bef.re Ms the published statement OF
the Third Auditor, transmitted to Con-
gress in February last, of the accounts
in the Treasury, War and Navy DEPART
ments, which have remained unsettled, or
on which balances appear TO have been
due more than three years prior to July LIST,
1859. On page q is to be found a menu

36'h, 1853, Sl6,5l5 As. Til re j; at cred
it on sundry accounts, $6l,3 Is still
leaving against him the sum o, SOL ~.
And on page Sc, IN the statement of the
names Of officers whose accounts for al
vances made, or balances unacconnted
for for ono year prior to the lst of July,
1883, rs it appears from the book, Of the
Second Auditor of the Treasury, have not
been settled within the year, may be seen
this item: Stevens, |. l.. late Governor,
$3O,9l0 32--balance." S, according to
these otficial papers, the Hon. Mr. Stevens
owes the Government the sum of SAL,

Gov. Stevens may we'll got up spacious
and sophistical addresses against Douglas :;
for he knows, or ought TO know. that it
the latter becomes President, he will make
him pay up what he owes. He had bet.
ter 60 about raising the money to settle
these old debts instead of footing his
time away in the vain effort Of defeating
the peoples choice for President. - No.

The PRosPECT. The news from every
part Of the State is encouraging. The
Democracy are becoming fully aroused to
the importance OF the contest. Never be-
fore, at this stage Of the canvass, have our
friends manifested more enthusiasm. The
township and local meetings are largely
attended with every demonstration Of zeal
for the cause, and never before wa. there
more anxiety to hear and read vinlica-
tons OF Democratic principles and policy
We urge our friends everyw where 10 CON
tinue their efforts with undated ZEAL
Organize thoroughly. Get out every voter
upon the day Of election. Do this and n
triumphant victory awaits US. We hear
of accessions to our ranks in every locaIi
ty. Many who left US in 1854, '55 and
Sc are coming back satisfied that the
Democratic party is the only ark Of safety
tho only hope Of preserving the Govern
msnt on the principles upon which it was
founded. Forget not vs have vigilant
and we'll organized political enemy to con-
tend with-a foe who will leave no effort or
means uninterrupted to defeat US. II is a
desperate struggle with the republicans for
victory. Defeat them now and the Repub-
lican party 10 ended. They will disband
never more 10 unite under their present
organization. A victory over them now
will cease agitation upon the negro ques-
ton, give peace to the nation, and the
public attention and energy Of the coun.
try will be turned to developing our vast
resources and the construction Of those
artificial highways which will bind us more
closely in common interests and common
destiny. Are not those considered suffi-
oient to induce every citizen Of Indiana,
who desires we'll to his country and to his
postsrity, to labor earnestly and zealcusly
for Democratic triumph at our State and
national elections ?--Indianapolis Sen
