ELECTION OF DEMOCRATIC UNI
TED STATES SENATOR'S IN IN
DIANA.

HENDRICKS and Turpie were yesterday
elected United States Senators form the
State of Indiana, the latter for the short
term, ending the 4th of March next; and
the former for the long term, for six years
from that time. Two years ago these gen
tlemen were the nominees for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, respectively, Of the
Democratic party, and were defeated by
Lane and Morton. Going down with the
Democracy on that occasion, they rose
with it to victory in 1862. They are sound
democrats, and will most worthily repre-
sent Indiana in the Senate.
One of the most gratifying incidents
connected with the election is the fact that
it on the shelf that despieable apostate and
political trickster, Ex-Governor Joseph
A. Wright, who sold himself to his old
enemies for seat in the Senate. The
people have repudiated the arrangement,
and have made the term very short one.
Wright has been excessively malignant in
his course toward his old friends, and the
rebuke of his defeat is signally deserved

Will He Redeem His Promise.

Lieut.. Governor Stanton, of Ohio. elect
ed in 1861, upon the same ticket with
Governor Tod, gave utterance to the fol-
lowing sentiments In the House of Rep
resentatiyes, of which hew then mem
ber. The speech, from which this extract
is taken, was made on the 29th Of Febru-
ary 1861 He said:
"Seven or eight States now deny their
allegiance to this Government, have or
ganized separate Confederacy, and have
declared their independence of this Gov
ernment. Whether that independence is
/ to be maintained or not is with the fu-
ture. If they shall maintain their posi-
ltion, and if public opinion in those Sc
ceding States shall sustain the authori-
ties there for year or two to come, so as
to show that nothing but a war of subju-
cation and conquest can bring them back,
I, for one, am disposed to recognize their
Independence. Applause, and cries, Of
s'That's right from the Democratic
benchesl Now. in this state of things,
if the remaining seven slaveholding States
remain in the Coniederacy, they are enti-
tied to additional guarantoos.'
The question is now whether Stanton

An English Opinion of Presi-
dent Lincoln.

We blame America, and justly for the low
morality which her malOrities have exhibited !;
but let us not forget how the anti-slavery feeling
has gone back in England. Let us not shut our
eyes to the scandalous fact that our aristocracy
and wealthy middle class have, with a few noble
exceptions, been the aiders, the abettors and the
~acconplices of Jefferson Davis and his band of
conspirators, in their effort to accomplish the
most hateful, the most atrociOus purpose for
which criminals were ever linked together
namely, the perpetuation of slavery as an insti-
tuition and its IS extension with Christianity"
for so they blasphemously asserted, g to the very
ends of the earth"
More important than any siege of Charleston,
or than any victory in the battle field, is the de-
claration of Lincoln that his proclamation must
stand. As the struggle grows nearer to it end,
we fear the influence of these bad white men,
whose conduct he deprecates in such stringent
terms. Did the question of liberty or slavery
remain to be decided in England, we fear also
that the labors of Clarkson and Wilberforce
would need to be performed again. The rich
would in too many cases, sympathize with the
planter in the loss of Sc property" that abolition
would involve. The shallow politician in Eng
land-the counterpart of the equally shallow
politician in America-wnuld want q colnprom-
Use, some halfway house between God and the
devil, in which he could enjoy a speedier repose.
The grand Old stuff which made the men of the
Commonwealth in this country, and founded the
New England States in America, is scarcer than
cotton, and far more GENITAL to the nations
good. There is too much of time-serving, sneak
ing and snivelling on both sides of the Atlantic.
Good, thorough-going lovers of liberty and
haters of tyranny all the world over are scanda-
lousy scarce. People are afraid Of the conse-
quences OF Il just and noble cause. They would
not object to virtue with So limited liability -
but to defend the right at all hazards, systemati-
cally, and for the love of it, is out of fashion,
because men in counting houses and on Change
calculate it won't pay. Amid all this chicanery
and cowardice let Lincoln be honest, and then
the Republic of America will stand as proudly as
any Regal State.-LOndon Weekly Times.

The Y. Y. Times, the leading Republican
newspaper OF that city, and understood TO express
the present sentiments of the President of the
United States and a majority of the Cabinet,
defines the policy and views of the Government
IN the following editorial article, October 5:
The Union is the avowed and real object of the
war, and for this end the war is prosecuted by
the Government, and the Government is sustained
by the great body of the nation. Slavery we
are now, and always have been, opposed to.
But Its abolition Is not the purpose, though it
may be an incident, of the present National
struggle. If the object of the war were changed
from Union to Abolition, either ostensibly, as
these Z" radicals" demand, or really and practi-
cally, both the Union and the cause of freedom
would be endangered.
We are for the Union Of the States, even
though the institution of Slavery continue to
exist in some of them. We are for reconstruc-
ton whenever the rebels cease TO fight against
the Union. We are even for the " Union as it
wss," SO far as that phrase applies to the consti-
tutional rights of States and citizens. The
Constitution provided for a more perfect
Union" than the old Confederation, and the
Union, reconstructed, would doubtless be more
perfect than it formerly was but re are battling
for the old forms and the ancient government.
In the Union, Slavery and all other political
evils can be remedied but without the Union,
there is no conceivable evil to which We will not
be subject. We are for the Union before Anti
Slavery, before everything else. The policy of
the Government on the subject of Southern Slave
~ is now clearly defined. So far as the rebel
States are concerned, Mr.. Lincoln's proclamation,
and his late letter sustaining it, are sufficiently
definite and have been accepted by the nation.
So far as the exempted States are concerned, the
people of every one of those Stat including
Missouri, are acting in a sufficiently peremptory
and conclusive manner.
The question of slavery is thus settled. The
latter queGtion alone is sufficient to call forth all
the energy and power of the nation. Upon il
all loyal men should concentrate all their efforts,
and we may well doubt the reality of any mans
loyalty who would subordinate it or make it
secondary to anything else, or who would ham
per the prosecution of the war for it, and dimin-
ish the zeal of the nation for it, by insisting
upon any conditions other than those found
necessary by the Government.

FARMERS ECONOMY.

Farmers talk a great deal about econo-
my. I know one man who will 20 three
miles out Of his way, over bad road 10
save few cents at the toll gate. Anoth-
er, who is SO economical Of black smith
expenses, that instead of getting tire sci
the right time, will make it do week or
two longer, aud some dark night will be
found groping his way home, with three
wheels and rail to his wagon, while q
horse or two are unable to leave the stable
on account of lameness, resulting from a
misunderstanding of the word economy.
as applied to the shoeing of horses. Ma
ny man is SO economical in the matter Of
boards for barn, stable and sheds that he
builds them every year Of corn. and hay
This may be considered strange building
materials, but what l state is true. II
an animal is exposed to the storm and
cold OF winter, it will take one half the
food he consumes to keep it as warm as il
would be naturally in good comfortable
stable; the other half will just keep it
along. So the half of the grain and hay
is used for making stable-expensive
building materials but this is not the econ
omy, however, hat would reccomend nor
that will pay heavy war expenses.

INCREASING YOUR SOIL.

BY deepening the cultivation of your
soil you add 10 its quantity. Thus, hav.
ing your soil eight inches deep, where be.
fore you had it only four inches, you
double its capacity, somewhat as though
you had two acres low where you had on.
ly ono before Did you ever think Of this
Eight inches Of cultivated soil has doubled
the strength of four. This is new way
of increasing your land--not new to our
best farmers, who understand all this-and
hence they cultivate deep, not deep at
once, but gradually, each year little
deeper, or at every plowing. Flowing
alone makes the soil mellow, has won-
derful effect, even without manure {; but
manure, it must be remembered, is the
main reliance always.
In deepening your soil judgment is re.
quired. Not too much of the raw sub
soil must be brought up at timo, unless
it is rich, then plow deep. In clay soils,
little at time is the true theory. Cut of
half an inch of clay, more or less, at each
plowing. This, thrown up to the action of
she elements, will be reduced to powder,
and ii at once goes to work drawing
strength from the atmosphere-clear profit
you see it has the effect Of plaster. Then
IL is manure itself. These heavy clay
beds are valuable beds of manure. As
they are generally spread out with your
soil, you need only to adjust your clevis-
pin to manure your ground. But this
must only be done when the super-soil is
thoroughly frable, in good cultivated or
der! Too much clay brought up will
stiffen youn soil; and air and heat and
rain ore kept out; and thvs it remains
stiff, cold, stubborn soil on which little or
nothing can be grown. Grass is the only
thing that stands the least chance.

THE FARM AS A MANDATORY.

THE FARM AS A MANUFACTORY
1t ought to be so regarded. The sol
should be looked upon as being the same
relation to he agriculturist that any raw
material does TO the manufacturer of thai
specific article. II is the stock from which
it is to be wrought out the marketable
product. What is put on the soil in the
shape of seed, fertilizers and labor,s should
always be regarded, together with the in.
terest on the money invested in the land
as gong to make up the cost of the pro-
duct-of the article manufactured from
the soil. And the farmer should know
precisely whal this cost is-and it should
govern the price at whicn he sells has
produce. Now this is very simple and
selfevident proposition. 1t has been Of
ten repeated and yet it has got to be told
great many thousand times more before
the mass Of farmers will appreciate its i'm
portance, judging by the ratio of their pro-
gress in this matter in the past. We re-
fer to it now, and so often, believe it is
emphatically the basis of success in agri.
culture as in manufactures And we in
tend to repeat it uutil our readers who do
business hap.hazard and fail, shall under
stand how to 60 to work TO find the leak
that is sinking the ship.
