among the attractions of the Fair Week,
will he the Concert at Marble Hall on Thurs
day evening next. 1t is not saying too much
to assert that the voices of the company
are among the best of the country, and hav-
ing been under ihe training of an expert
enced leader for some time, cannot fail to
render the occasion highly interesting and
exciting. We bespeak for the Troupe q
large house, and promise quid pro quo in
the premises We call the attention Of the
public to this subject, mainly because we
shall feel very badly if, after it is all over,
we should hear any of our friends regret
very much (as they will, if they do not at
tend) they had not been present. We say
then by all means for every body to go to
the Concert on Thursday evening.

been arranged, extending to every township

From the sHbjOlncd extract from the
Washington correspondence of the New
York Heraid, it wohld seem that the Con-
stitutional Union Convention was a mere
dodge to help the Democrats


1t has transpired here that the Baltimore
ticket of Bell and Everett was the result of
a bargain between the New York delega-
ton and leading Democrats. 1t is to be
run in Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
where it will draw only from the People ;
party, and thus give the Democrats those
States by a plurality, but will not be
run in New York where the whole \ meri-
can strength is necessary to aid the De-
mocracy in defeating the Republicans
Some few Old Line Wings or Americans
will be put on the Democratic electoral
ticket as Il bait for that class of voters
This plan is laid to prevent Seward carrying
New York by plurality, in case he is the
nominee. After the cOnsummation of this
bargain, the New York delegation came on
here AID fraternized With Douglas. They
cheated Houston, whom they could have
nominated, cheated Bell, whom they did
nominate, and sold themselves TO Douglas,
who will cheat them in turn when he is
elected.


The fact that the New York Express,
which seconded The Constitutional Conven-
ton warmly, has not run up the BELL flag,
tends to corroborate the statement of the
UeraldS correspondence Gin Gazette.

We publish in this issue of the Daily one
half of this important document. To-mor-
row we shall publish the remainder. For
several reasons we concluded not to attempt
to publish it all at once The Cincinnati
papers containing it arrived yesterday, hav-
ing obtained it by telegraph, and as they
circulate quite number of copies here, the
Message has already been extensively read
Had copies been sent to the West in ad-
vance for the use of the Press, we could
have beaten all other papers considerably
in the publication. Another reason why we
divide the Message is, that by so doing we
may give telegraphic and other news,
whereas, if the whole were published at
once it would crowd out all other reading
matter. Still another reason is, that our
hands have been working all night for
number of nights, and are prostrated with
such wearing labor. These reasons we
know, will constitute sufficient apology for
our indulgent readers. Most of them will
find half the Message as much as they can
read and inwardly digest in one day so the
disappointment at not getting all at once
will not be very great.


We shall ask the indulgence Of some of
our advertisers for a few days, in crowding
certain advertisements out. The pressure
on our columns caused by the Message and
the city delinquent lists will soon cease.


AN INTERESTING AND INsTRUCrIvE ExHI-
uITIoN.-By an advertisement it will be
seen that there will be an exhibition on
a boat at the river this (Frdayl afternoon
and evening, of Allegorical Tableaux and
Indians This exhibition will be one
of the most interesting that has visited
Evansville for years The Allegorieal por-
ton of it is novel and impressive, while the
Indian portion of it contains many things
well worth seeing.


The Indians are the "real article" They
will appear in their native costumes, dance
their wild dances, End enunciate their
gutteral sylIables.


The alIegorical tableaux are formed by
living fgures-persons and animals-repre-
sentine prominent scenes in American his
tory, aided by scenery, costumes, and other
adjuncts, to make the representation appear
natural to the life.


This is an exhibition which both old aud
young can enjoy. We expect to see
large audience present. 1t is entirely un-
exceptionable in character-in fact wholly
commendable in its tendencies.

GENTLEMEN: Your official communica-
ton of the 18th inst, informing me that
the Representatives of the Republican par
ty of the United States assembled on that
day had, by unanimous vote, selected me
as their candidate for the Office of Vice
President of the United States, has been
received, together with the resolutions
adopted by the Convention as its declara-
ton of principles. Those resolutions enun-
ciate clearly and forcibly the principles
which unite us and the objects proposed to
be accomplished. They address themselves
to all, and there is neither necessity or pro-
priety in my entering upon discussion of
any of them. They have the approval of
my judgment and any action of mine will
be faithfully and cordially sustained. am
profoundly gratifed to those with whom it
is my pride and pleasure politically to OPP
crate, for the nomination so unexpectedly
conferred, and l desire to tender through
you to the members of the Convention, my
sincere thanks for the confidence thus re-
posed in me. Should the nomination
which I now accept be ratified by tho peo-
pie, and the duties devolve upon me of
presiding over the Senate of the United
States, it will be my earnest endeavor
faithfully to discharge them with just re-
gard to the rights of all.


1t is to be observed in connection with
the doings of the Republican Convention,
that paramount object with us is TO pre-
serve the normal condition of our Terrific
rial domain as homes for freemen. The
able advocate and defender of Republican
principles, whom you have nominated for
the highest place that can crafty the am
bition Of man, comes from State which
has been made what it is by special action
in that respect of wise and good men who
founded our institutions. The rights Of
free labor have there been vindicated and
maintained. The thrift and enterprise
which so distinguished Illinois, ono of the
most f1ourishing States of the glorious
west, we would see secured to all the terri.
tories of the Union, and restore peace and
harmony to the whole country by bringing
back the government to what it was under
the wise and patriotic mon who created it
If the Republicans shall succeed in that
object, as they hope to, they will be held
in grateful remembrance by the busy and
teeming millions of future ages.

A tree is known by its fruits, men are known
BY the company they keep, and politically par
ties must be judged by their acts aud not by
their professions. We propose in a few brief
paragraphs to show by the congressional re-
cords thas the votes of Democratic Members
of Congress upon four of the great Issues Of
the day have been grossly inconsistent with
the professions which the party they represent
has set up with great flourish of trumpets all
over the country. The Inconsistency and du-
plicity of the leaders of this party have been
proved hundred times before; we only pro-
pose now to show by few figures that those
leaders are to-doy as false TO their professions
as they ever were.
