Platform of thc Democracy
of Indiana.

The following is ssynopsis of the reso-
buttons passed by the Indiana Democratic
State Convention:
That the Democracy denounce the ac-
ton of O. P. Morton in advising aud
sustaining the boiting Of the Union mem
bors of the legislature; his refusal to call
an extra session and his creation of a
financial bureau; that the suspension of
the writ of ha6eds corpHs is crime
against liberty; that the squandering of
tie public treasure on court favorites and
objects of doubtful character, is ruinous
te the,eountry; thaS the, suppression of
newspapers, arbitrary arrests, denial of
the right of asylum to refugees from for
e1gn despotism, deserve reprobation; that
q faithful adherence to the Cohstltution
OF the United States, requires restoras
ton of the supremacy, 3of the Censtitu-
zion and Of the rights Of the States to
Feadaus to an honorable peace; that We
viii stand by Kentucky in her defense of

THE LOVER NOT.
BY NoRAH PERRY.


Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She hid her raven ringlets in,
But not alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young man 8 heart within.
They were strolling together up the hill,
Where the wind comes blowing merry and
chill,
And it blew the curis frolicsome race
All over the happy, peach-colored face,
Till, scolding and laughing, she tied
them in
Under her beautiful, dimpled chin.
And it blew color, bright as the bloom
OF the pinkest fuschias tossing plume,
All over the cheeks of the prettlest girl
That ever Imprisoned a romping curl,
Orin tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tied young mans heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill
Madder, merrier, chillier still.
The western wind blew down, and played
The widest tricks with the little maid
As tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
Q Western Wind, do you think it was
fair
To play such tricks with her floating hair
To gladly, gleefully, do your best
To blow her against the young mans
breast,
When he as gladly folded her in
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin
OF Ellery vane, you little thought,
An hour ago when you besought -
This country lass TO walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
" That perilous danger you'd bein,
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.

Particulars Of the Fight Be
tween tEle Alabama and the
KearSage. 8


The Alabama left Cherbourg' harbor
about ten o'clock on Sunday morning,
and the Kesrsage was then several miles
ont to seward, with her steam up ready
for action. The French plated ship of
war couronne followed the Alabamaout
of harbor, and stopped when the vessels
were a league off the coast, her object be-
ing to see that there was no violation Of
the law ofpnations by any fight taking
place within the legal distance from land.
One of the officers of the Alabama
names the hour of lilo as the commence
ment, of theaction, and 124o as the period
of it's cessation, making its duration an
hour and a half; while the time observed
on board the Deerhound, which is most
likely to be accurate, that vessel being
free fromathe excitement and confusion
necessarily existing on board the Alaba-
ma. limited the action to an hour, the last
shot being fred at 12:10. The distance
between the two eontending vessels when
the Alabama opened Ere was estimated on
board the oDeerhound at about mile,
while the Alabama $ officer tells me that
she was a mile and half away from the
Kearsage when she fired the first shot.
BE this as it may, it is certain that the
Alabama commenced the firing, and it is
known that her guns we're pointed for a
range of two thousand yards, and that the
second shot she fired, in about half a
minute after the Grst, went right into the
Kearsage, that may be taken assthe real
distance between the ships. The firing
became general from both vessels at the
distance of little under mile, and was
we'll sustained on both sides, Mr.. haacas-
ter's impression being that at no time dur
ing the action were they less than quar-
ter of mile from each other. Seven
complete circles were made in the period
over which the fight lasted. ss5
Itwas estimated On board the Deer
hound that the Alabama fired in all about
one hundred and fifty rounds, some single
guns, and some in broadsides of three OIL
four. and the Kearsage about one hun
dred, the majority of which were eleven
inch shells. The Alabaaa were princi
paliy Bhkeley's pivot guns. In the early
! part of the action the relative firing wa:
about three from the Alabama to one from
the Ksarsage5 but as. it PROGRESSED th'
latter gained the advantage having sppa
rehtly a much greater power of steam
She appeared to have an advantage owe
the Alabama of about three knots al
hour, and steam was seen rushing out o
4 her blow-pipe all through the action
while the Alabama seemed to have yer.
little steam on.
! At length the Alabama's rudder wa
! disabled by one Of her opponents heav.
shells, and they hoisted sails, bus it wa
soon reported to Captain Semmes by en-
OF his officers that his ship was sinking
With great bravery the guns were KEEP
ported till the muzzles were actually un
