TIE indianapolis Sentinel has
| chosen ths candidate and prescribed
the work to be attended to By the Re
publican District Convention. which
meets tomorrow At Princeton. Be-
| cause it has been az easy victory for
the Democracy IN times past to carry
this District, the Seatinel is boastful
now. The Republicans of the
Pocket will select their own can
didate, and this time they propose to
elect him.
THE Republicans Of Perry County
will hold their Convention at Hag-
gsrdoa's, on Saturday next. The
Cannelton Reporter Democratic says
a large meeting is anticipated.
SO FAR the Democratic State Con
ventions have shown a remarkable
unanimity IN avoiding any very posi-
tive expression of opinion Oh the
great issues of the day. True TO the
well-known admirable drill and dis
cipline of the party, they leave them
selves open for PENDLETON and a
white mans Government, or CHASE
and negro suffrage, just as the New
York conclaye may direct. The slave
ny Of party d~ominancy has never been
more powerfully illustrated.
The Republican Senators have. in
a most qfectual manner, refuted the
Democratic charge of partisan spite
aud obstinate res stance to the Presi-
dents appointments, in the prompt
and unanimous confirmation of Rev
ERDY JOHNSON, Of Maryland, as Min,
lister to England, the first foreign APP
pointment Of the Government.
GEN. BEAUREGARD, who is at pres
ent in New York, says N reference
to the probable course Of the South
err delegations 10 the Democratic
National Convention, that il is ex-
tremely improbable hat the vote Of a
single Southern State can be cast for
the Democratic candidates and there
fore the Southern Democracy have no
right to advise, much less to insist,
upon the adoption Of any special nom
inee by their Northern allies.
THE Conservative soldiers who
meet in New NsFk iD.conyeution con-
tempsrahsoas% with the Democrats,
have decided that in no event can
they support a Uopperhead candi-
date ike PENDLEToS. who, during
the war, was hostile to the cause for
(which they so zealously fought and
suffered. They protest in advance
against any such nomination, and if
it should be foisted upon them then
they will cry out: u To yourutent-
Q, IsraelrH They insist that the can
didate Shall be a sound man, stand
ing upon a sound platform, for whom
they shall have nothing torapologize

Ara meeting of a number Of
prominent Democrats in Washington,
including several members in Con-
gress, it was gravely reported that it
was resolved to effect 4 compromise
between the two wings.of the Democ-
raey BY nominating SALMON p. CHASE
for President, and Brick PoMERoY
for Vice President. L IS believed by
these politicians that by nominating
CHASE the Bslmont men wiz be sat
isfed. inasmuch as he Is Ia favor Of
paying the bonds in gold, and that by
nominating such a rank repudiatOr
and eulogizer of Wilkes BooFH as
Brick POMERoY, the Pendletonians
aud Southern rebels would consent to
unite with the Belmont men.
