HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE.-Somebody is
claiming great honor for Mr.. Porter for getting
an item in the appropriation bill to complete and
furnish the Government building in this city. He
has had but very little to do in the matter. The
Secretary of the Treasury sent to the Marshal of
Indiana for an estimate Of the amount necessary
to put the building in disable condition. which
he furnished, and upon that estimate the first
named officer recommended to Congress the ne
cessary appropriation. Mr.. Porter should not
attempt to do business upon borrowed capital,
but should be willing TO let the honor 60 10 those
justly entitled TO it. Had it not been for the per-
sonal efforts and influence Of Mr.. Gregg in Con-
gress two years ago, no appropriation would have
been made for the erection Of the substantial edi
fee which will long be an ornament to the city.

A NOBLE SPEcTAcLE.-Senator Douglas has
set noble example of disinterested patriotism to
the Northern politicians who are standing in the
way of their country's peace. While others are
holding back and clubbing under the selfish pre-
tense OF personal pride and consistency, the Sena
tor from Illinois has the moral courage and manly
patriotism to ignore himself and go alone for his
country. He is reported to have said, in his re-
cent speech, that he was prepared to do anything
which the necessities of the case may require,
without reference to anything he may have done,
or any opinion he may have advanced, in the
past" He is not afraid to be called inconsistent
he has loftier purposes than personal advance
ment when the Union is in danger. Were a ma
jority of Congress constituted of such men, every
State would get her rights in the Union, and we
should have universal peace in thirty days,-Rich-
mond Wing.

CoSTEAsr.-On Friday and Saturday even
ings we heard Miss Richings sing at the Metro
politan the patriotic song of "Our Unioni Right
or Wrong" Among those who shouted vocifer-
ously over this sentiment we noticed few Re-
publicans, who, when "our Union was engaged
in war with Mexico, expressed sympathy for
the enemy of their country. When the stars and
stripes were then unfurled they gave utterance to
no such patriotic sentiment as "our Union right or
wrong" No cheers came from them then for our
gallant countrymen who were maintaining the
honor of that flag. We could not repress the
thought that their sympathy for the negro was "a
heap" stronger than their devotion to the Union.

JACK SHEPHERp.--The feat Of walking one hun

faithfulness of their part of the contract which.

THE SEA OF MrD.-Indianopolis is just now,
and has been for some time a theater, where The
Sea of Mad has heen having long run. And a
right comical sort of drama is it, too, in which
the ladies have all the funniest parts.
All sorts of fashions are burlesqued, but the
hooped skirts get the worst of it, and provoke
more laughter than anything else. A lady with
a hoped skirt and long train is, We think,
about the most ludicrous picture of misery that
dress up, and she iriH not let il stay down, and
her helpless struggle to keep out of the mud and
still look graceful are laughter provoking in the
extreme. We would suggest to the ladies' that
the Zouave trot is an excellent invention for
keeping out of the mud. A lady has only to
elevate herself upon her tip toes and jog along.
This method is, perhaps, rather tiresome in the
main, but it is infinitely better than the mud on
ones skirts.-Miss Di's Gazette.

dangerous characters, do not regard ii, and ii OPP
crates in their favor-plays into their hands-by
preventing law-abiding citizens from placing
themselves in position for defense. In the cities

a fool to trust himself on the outskirts of ii

ucmoriaIs to Conuress,

large number of memorials are pouring into
Congress from different sections of the Union
asking for the adjustment of our political diff
cultes upon any honorable plan that will restore
peace and harmony to the country. We suggest
that in this way the voice of Indiana be heard IN
Washington. The people are for settlement of
the sectional controversy now raging and which
threatens the overthrow of the Government, un-
less speedily brought to an end. Shall pride of
opinion stand in the way of adjustment when
such great interests are at stake? We stated the
other day that Sir ROBERT PEEL, one of the most
eminent of the statesmen of Great Britain, yielded
his own opinions to those of his opponents, and
for the prosperity of his country adopted policy
antagonistic to that which he had advocated. He
did not lose caste by it either, but, the other
hand, it gave him stronger hold upon the esteem
of his countrymen. If this spirit controlled the
public men of our country, it would take but a
few days to settle our sectional troubles and re-
new the bonds of Union. Who will lead in such
glorious work? If some leading Republican
would come forward with the olive branch-a
proposition not only making just, but generous
concessions to our Southern brethren, we believe
it would be met in kind spirit by those who have
been regarded as the most ultra of the South. A
peaceful and honorable solution of our present
difficulties would be hailed with universal
acclaim by the people of the whole country, and
the joy it would occasion would be manifested by
the firing of cannon, Examinations, bonfires and
every conceivable demonstration of qualification.
If politicians are unwilling to lead in settle
ment of the dissensions, which, if permitted to
continue, will soon become permanent and divide
US into hostile confederaces, let the people move
in the matter and we have suggested. just now
memorials to Congress is probably the most sig
aifcant mode of giving expression to public SEN
timent. The following is the form of petition
which is being generally signed in Chicago, that
sufficiently expresses the object in view:
MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS.
The undersigned, citizens and business men
of -, while believing that the Union of the
States should be maintained, would be satisfied

versy on the basis of prohibiting slavery north of
&c deg. 30 min., and recognizing its existence
south of that line in the MISUNDERSTANDING
each State to do as it pleases on admission into
the Union.

Never was such a meeting assembled i'm this city
as was seen at the Court House Saturday to de-
clare the sentiments of st. Louis city and county
on the great issues before the country-to assert
their loyalty to the Union, and at the same time
to take position in favor of the "Crttenden
proposition" as fair basis for the adjustment
of all the real differences between the free and
the slave States. The names of the officers of
the meeting are fair index of the character and
responsibility of the many thousands who were
present, and heart and hand in the work. The
resolutions embody, beyond all question, the
sentiments of the people of this city, and on the
declarations and principles here presented St.
Louis and Missouri will go before the country
If the North will take Crttenden's propositions
as a full and final settlement of all existing
troubles with the South, Missouri will stand by
them and conform to them. The people of st.
Louis have declared that they think them right
and just, and for ourselves we think them liberal
to the North. But they offer substantial basis
of adjustment, and we shall adhere to them as
long as hope is left. If the extreme Southern
States really desire to remain in the Union, or to
come back to the Union, yielding the point that
they have gone out Of precpitately and unwisely)
they should at once recover their senses, send
their members back to Congress and aid IN pass
ing the constitutional amendments. But if they
will Motif they will still persist in the course
winch tney nave tnougnt proper 70 aoope-it Is
no less incumbent on Missouri to take her position
and stand by it. Whatever other States may do,
or attempt to do, Missouri is not in favor of a
dissolution of the Union so long as there is pos
siblity of fair settlement of all onr unhappy
differences. The Crittenden propositions are
fair and just, and ought to be sustained all over
the country.
1t will be noticed, and we are very glad to be
able to put it on record, that the Black Republi-
cans did not participate in this meeting-that the
leaders, in published handful, expressly advised
their political friends and followers to refrain
from taking any part in it, and this INDUCTION was
observed. We have great deal more desire to
show to the country that they took no action
whatever in the matter, then to acknowledge
their co operation in it. Let them slide.-&

For the Daily State Sentinel.
Democrats are TO be Legislated out of
Office.

Running my eye over the proceedings of the
Legislature of last Monday, find the following:
'sOn motion of Mr.. Moody a resolution of in
quiry was adopted to ascertain what effect the re-
peal of the militia law would have to persons
now holding commissions under it, if another law
on the subject should be passed"
This Moody is Black Republican Repre-
sentative from the counties of Pulaski and Jasper,
and not being blessed with very great modicum
of brains, he commits the indscretion of Getting
the cat out of the bag" and exposing the tactics
of his Republican confreres And what record
he makes for his party, The commissions of the
old officers having expired, Governor Hammond,
in obedience to law, proceeds to execute it by the
issue of new commissions. These offices pay
nothing, but they are filled with Democrats, and
straightway the law must be repealed; not be-
cause it is a bad law, but because they deisre to
get rid of the Democrats now filling them, and
install Black Republicans in their places. This
is the precious admission of Mr.. Moody, and
clearly indicates the revolutionary spirit that
actuates these men, Laws are to be repealed,
not because they are bad, OF the men who fill the
offices under them incompetent or dishonest,
but in order to get rid of Democratic incumbents,
when they will be re enacted and Republicans ap-
pointed. We can designate such proceedings by
the majority plainly and bluntly, if revolution is
their game-if they are determined to thrust it
down our threats, then
Lay on, Macduf,
And damned be he who first cres-hold! enoughl'
The Democratic members of the Legislature
have no disposition, so far we have conversed
with them, to throw any obstacle in the way of the
Republicans enjoying the full legitimate fruits of
their victory. Take all the offices the laws allow
you, and welcome And if these are not enough
to fill the capacious nav of your Office seekers,
create as many new offices as you desire, under
the hypocritica plea that the public services re-
quire them. But we have rights, too, which we
have, also, the manhood to maintain; and when
you resort to the revolutionary proceeding of
legislating faithful and efficient officers out Of
office, merely because they are Democrats, and
you want to put Republicans in their place, don't
complain if "the poisoned chalice is commended
to your own lips" Vim.
