Dear Sins: I see that your honest and true hearted
Democrats are pestered with a hech which is dubbed
the 44 Indiana Democrat," and from the few numbers
that I have seen, it bids fair to be an able advocate of
the Federal party under the garb of Democracy.
This is to be regretted ; but since it has been started.
the Democracy will be obliged to treat it as they would

be piven in the Weekly papers. We have also, at
more expense than circumstances would warrant.
employed Reporters at Washington City, wh will,
rrguUrhj and constantly Iceep us advised, by letters,
of the earliest transactions each and every depart
ment of the General Government. This has long
been a desire of our, not only to make our paper
more interesting to the people generally, and to their
representatives in particular; and we have 44 strained
a nerre" to accomplish it. It shall be done ; and
what we have promised shall always be fulfilled, cost
what it may.
Then our expenses are great in endeavoring to do,
(and what we have accomplished,) the making of
full and regular daily reports of our own Legislature,
and placing them before the members even almost as
soon as the ink was dry which recorded them. Too
many of the present members of the Legislature have
tested the usefulness of this matter, and its impor
tance, not to estimate it truly. Its benefit to mem
bers and to their constituents, need not to be reitera
ted here. Each intelligent mind will survey them at
a glance.
We would again publish a Daily, but we deem it
much less beneficiary either to members or their con
stituents. In publishing a Tri-Weekly, we have cho
een the days on which every Tri-Weekly, as well as
Daily mail, leaves. We have a few hours additional
to see that our reports are correctly and properly
made out. Then the postage to those to whom they
are sent, is only one-half of that of a Daily, an item
in these hard times not to he 44 sncezcd at," while
the recipient get more matter than he otherwise
could. These, however, arc but small matters, and
only business ones. If the members of the Legisla
ture should like the Sentinel well enough, we hope
they will subscribe fir it. If not, it is none of our
business, and many of their constituents, unless they
happen to be subscribers, will never hear from them.
Allca County Convention.
We would call attention to the proceedings of the
Allen County Convention, and particularly to the re
solution respecting the appointment of a State Cen
tral Committee. We second the views of the resolu
tion with all our heirt; because on the prompt and
efficient action of that Committc2 a great deal de
pend. They should be men of energy, judgment and
perseverance msn who will on no occasion s.innK
from their duty ; and who will d: their utmost, in
season and out of snsori, to further the Democratic
cause.
We are led also to notice it for another reason.

07-We observe that the following paragraph U
copied into Ohio Tapers, accredited to the Indiana
Democrat." This credit is erroneous : The article
originated with the Western Democrat," published
a New Albany, and not with ths 44 Indiana Demo
crat," published at Indianapolis. There is as much
difference between the two in regard to Hanking, as
there is between chalk and cheese. The 44 Indiana
Democrat" is a Bank paper; the Now Albany Demo
crat, is strongly anti-Hank. Let us render unto every
man according unto his ways.
The Defeat of the Ohio Democracy. The fact
must stare every one in the face, who is at all ac
quainted with the late contest in Ohio, that the De
mocracy defeated themselves. There is, in that, as
well as in all other States a c!a?s of s:udo Demo
crats, who go with the party just as far as it is to
their interest so to do ; and whenever the Democra
cy have a contest with monicd or other corporations,
they arc certain to find these pocket Democrats cither
fighting openly in the ranks of the enemy, or what is
still worse, acting the part of the spy, and secretly
plotting treason in our camp. This always has been
the case. It was so when the patriot Jackson placed
his iron heel upon the neck of the monster ; and it will
ahcays be so, unless the Democracy take the neces-a-rv
and correct steps to put an end to it. And this
can b? accomplished in one way only. Let the Dc
damn their own purty and lose power, they set their
snares for some weak-minded and corrept Democrats,
to help them in their iniquity, and too often succeed
in accomplishing their d operate designs. I
Indiana has, since IS 10 succeeded in annihilating
a Federal majority of K!,W0, a re-ult almost incredi
ble, and placing the Democracy triumphantly, and I
hope, permanently, in the ascendant. She is now
looked to as one of the permanent pillars of the Demo
cratic party. This glorictis result has been brought
about by her politicians taking high grounds upon all
questions connected with corporations, and with such j The State of Indiana rt. Hopkins and others.

Indiana Democrat.
This is the title of a new democratic (?) paper, just
starte'd in Indianapolis edited by Morrison fc Co.
A pajer gotten up in the same epirit which this one
has, should neither receive the countenance or support
of honest men. We never heard of a democratic pa
per being established for the purpose of distracting
and dividing the democratic party. We never heard of
a democratic nancr. which loudly professed Democra-
! cy, and at the same time was endeavoring to break
I that party down. We should think such democracy
had a strong resemblance to democratic courier y.
Another reason adduced why this paper was estab
lished, is because Chapman had the manly indepen
dence to deny Morrison &- Co., the rigbt ! of control
line the columns of the Sentinel. That disposition.
which l as ever characterized Chapman, to manfully
struggle against wrong, in whatever snapc 11 miK"1
appear, is here plainly to be seen. His ardent and
zealous exertions in favor of tha stability and perma
nence of democratic institutions his tried Dcmocra-
cy his unwearied efforts to preserve unsullied the
mnciplcs which he i.as espoused Ins long connex
ion with the Democratic press ot that Mate, ana nis
praiseworthy l ibors in behalf cf the democrats of his
sister States, has secured to him a grateful remem
brance of his services, in the minds of Democracy,
which never can be erased, until memory shall have
been swallowed up in death.
Is it necessary that a Morrison party should be or
ganized in Indiana, whose avowed object is to muzzle

If two persons exchange hftrses, with the privilege to
one party to return the horse received by him, within a
given time, und he fiil to return it in that time, the con
tract becomes absolute, arid each party is the unconditional
owner of the property received in exchange.
If, in such exchange, one of the horses be warranted, a
breach of the warranty does not annul the contract of
sale, and reinvest the property cf lhe respective horm s in
their original owners.
The vendor of goods on whom a fraud has been com
mitted by the vendee, cannot make the contract of sale as
a nulity, while he willingly holds in his own hanJs, a

Origin of Railways. The original inventor, it
now appears, of the railwav system, was the late en
gineer, Mr. Fredericks of Ilanover. He first thought
of constructing a machine for the conveyance of hea
vy loads, while visiting the mines cf Silesia, and he
subsequently invented iron rails, exactly as they now
arc in ue; also a locomotive engine and a cart to
run from the Dovittry silver mine, upon the Hare gni
on mountain, Hanover, to the place of refinement,
Puchcrich, a distance of about an hour's drive. The
cart was a four wheeled one, and on its frame was a
wooden chest, filled with the mineral of frcm CO to
SO cwt. The jjuide sat upon the driving box like a
coachman, and was able, by pressure, to direct or ar
rest the cart at any rate of speed. The evidence con
nected with this origin cf the railway and locomotive
is proved by persons still living, who rode in it.
The distance requiring a walk of forty-live minutes
was thus performed upon it by the king and queen in
live. The inventor subsequently executed a drawing
for an English gentleman, who as Mr. Fredericks
said a short tune before his death, wishes to run my
new cart in his own country, us I do here. He ad
mires it, and I take great carc in executing my work,
in order to prove that we here arc not a set of block
heads." This invention was thus transferred to Eng
land, where Mr. Thomrts Gray of Exeter was finally
instrumental in introducing it; and, after the appli
cation of steam to boat, the steam locomotive was
aUo introduced. These important facts have just
been made known, and t!:ey ?bow that the claims of
England to this, as to almost eery other invention
made by others, arc not to be sustained. Thus the
world is indebted to Germany for four cf the most
important inventions : those of powder, printing,
clocks and railroads. -Y. Y. eics.

Frightful Scene. We learn from the Richmond
Whig, that at sunrise on the morning i f the 3d inst.,
ns one of the carriages of the Menagerie, containing
the lion, tiger, panther, &c., was in tho net of starting
for Petersburg!!, drawn by four horses, one of tho
horses took fright, and attempted to run ; this excited
the lion, who roared from alarm, upon which the whole
team dashed at full speed down Locust alley, not much
more than wide enough fur the passage of the car.
The driver, in his box, displayed great presence of
mind, and at the intersection cf the nlley with Main
street, and a few doors above the Dell Tavern, in
turning them upon the side-walk, the wheels coming
in contact with the posts planted along the side-walk,
smashed three of them, when finally one of the wheels
was knocked off from the axle, the driver pitched into
the street and seriously hurt, and the wagon upset.
The fore-wheels being by this means detached, tho
horses preceded furiously, until they were stopped by
obstacles in the street. One of them was much
injured. Fortunately, the cage was strong and held
its enraged prisoners.
