Primitive LegisIati0n.

In days gone by, when the Indiana Legislature
convened in the goodly town OF Corydon, away
down on the Ohio, the Legislative Halls" were BY
no means "large and conveniently arranged" nor
were the proceedings oYer,ione with formality. A
log house of no mean proportions, with first and
second story held the supper and lower house,
Once upon time those in the hrst story dispatched
messenger to those in the second that they we're
ready to receive them In joint session. After a
reasonable time said messenger returned, and bawl
ed out at the top of his voice: "Mr. Speaker, the
loft is empty. The fel!crs have all gone" A mo-
ton to adjourn not lost--Frankiin Herald.
II 50 happens. however. that the "log cabin in
which the Legislative sessions were held. was a
substantial stone building, which still stands, az
solid and substantial il forty years ago, and
in which the courts oi Harrison county are held

it so happens. nevertheless. although we never
heard the above snecdote before, that the first Leg
slature at Corydon held in log building. still
standing, If the testimony of old citizens Of tic
place can be credited. The substantial stone build
ing was built BY order of the Legislature that held
its session in the log building.

The Break Down at Charleston!!

Knowing our readers would be anxious 10 see
the particulars of the Grand Fizze at Charleston,
we have devoted large portion Of our paper to-
day to the proceedings of the two Conventions,
from which, AMI the extracts we give from our ex-
changes, the reader can form some idea OF the
dsmorazed and desperate condition the Slaveoc-
racy have gotten into in consequence Of the bck-
erihgs and divisions among themselves. The Nor
thern Democracy were willing to erect Janus
faced Platform, which could be construed one
way in the free States and another in the slave
States, but the extremists having become distrust-
ful Of their Northern allies would not be satisfied
unless they could have one that would hold the
latter straight and prevent their dodging as some
of them did on the Lccompton question. And
besides, regarding Douglas as traitor in conse-
qucnce of his course on this issue they were de-
termiued to kill him at all hazards, let the con-
sequences to the party be what they might. In this,
at least, they have shown themselves TO be in car
nest.
This is the FIRST instance, We believe, in the his
tory of the country that any party has found itself
unable TO make a nomination in consequence OF
an ''rrcprcssible conflict" amcng themselves. 1t
proves that the party has become dsorganizcd, has
outlivcd its usefulness, and is ready to disband.

1t is matter of little consequence to Republi
what prompted Helper to write his book. in his
own peculiar style and ina manner SO repusnant
to Democratic "pheinks." A large portion of the
matter suits our purpose when cndeavoring to show
the advantage, of freedom over slavery and why
the institution ought not to be extended into the
territories. The faults of the book will all be "gar-
bled" and held up to view by such men as Investi-
gator, and its good qualities can harm nothing
which is not All evil, hence no ury bad results will
follow the publication Of The Compendium.
Says Investigator: "The Heperites lmcaning
Republicansl seem to have serious objections to
Southern men for the Presidency; yet who doubts
they would support Southern abolititionist, Re-
publican there any prospect Of success, just
as soon as man from the North" OF course, the
Republicans would chcerfully vote for any suitable
man who is faithful representative Of their prnci
pies, no matter in what State he resides Il seems
the Northern Democracy have just now strong
prejudice against Southern men as candidates for
the Presidency. Rather than submit to the wishes
Of the Southrons and nominate their man they ad-
journsd the Charleston Convention. The "irre.
pressiblc conflict" has broken out amorgst the

The Southern members we're also assured ON
Monday fiights upon a count of noses, that the
Douglas vote would not exceed l46, counting New
York. unless they adopted him; hence it was urged
that they should remain in the Convention as the
means of controlling the nomination. They knew
too that New York Was ready to take Mr.. Guthrie
at a proper moment. A majority of the Pennsyl-
vana delegation had signifed the same intention.
The figures were considered too close for safety
by the Southern leaders, and they refused to change
