We publish in another column a letter from Judge Wick, in which he states the position of the Tariff question ia Congress. This, as well as every other matter depending on legislation, seems to be of se condary interest at present, in consequence of the more exciting subject of our Mexican relations. But for this, the Democratic party, we are confident, would be impatient for an immediate equitable adjustment of the tariff laws, and the re-establishmcnt of the Independent Treasury, both measures of the f fst importance, and would make that impatience unequivocally manifest. So far as the people of Indiana are concerned, there is not a Ehadow of doubt in our minds as to their opinions upon these measures, and especially as to their hostility to the principle of 'protection." No subject was ever more fully dis cussed and fairly voted upon than this ; it was one of the chief causes of the political revolution of 1343, which overthrew in Indiana the long and firmly established dynasty of whiggcry ; and since that time, hostility to the principle of favoring Capital at the expense of Labor, has been constantly increasing. This is emphatically the case in this (the 5th) congressional district, and we are sure that its immense democratic majority will expect their Representative to carry their wishes into effect, so far as he can do o by his vote, without hesitation and without reservation. We know it is urged by some faint-hearted politicians, that it might be good policy to delay the passage of these measures for the present, because of the advantage their enactment might afford to Whig politicians in the way of deception and humbug. It is supposed that the war with Mexico will create more or less financial embarrassment, especially if it be long continued, and that the protectionists and paper money men, would charge all the difficulty and "distress" to the reformed tariff and the sub-treasury. It is quite likely they would ; we have heard Whigs threaten as much ; but is that a sufficient reason for a failure on our part to carry out measures which we honestly believe to be right, and which the true interest of the country demands 1 We think not. The fear of no such consequences should for an instant deter us from doing our duty and doing it promptly. This is the true magic of success in politics. Timeserving, temporising and hesitation, justly create doubts of the honesty of our intentions, and suspicion as to the utility of our measures. We know that the "protective" features of the tariff inflict the grossest injustice upon the mass of the people, and upon no portion of them to a greater ex tent than upon the people of Indiana. Hardly man among us is benefitted by the "protection" of th present tariff, while the inevitable effect of it is, by constantly depressing the produce markets, to strike at the very vitals of our only source of prosperity. Why then should our Representatives hesitate 1 Our Noble Toluntccrs. . Just as our paper ia going to press, the twentieth company has been reported to the Adjt. General's office, over and above the complement of thirty companies called for from this State. Well done Indiana ! Ohio with twice our population and four times our wealth, was called on to furnish only the same number of men, and had two days the start of us. And yet our quota was made up on the 10th instant, in not longer time, we believe, than that required in Ohio. When the requisition reached here on the evening of the 21st., it found as with our militia system broken and in ruins after a thirty years peace. Net a I Jlar had been appropriated by either the State or General Government for such an emergency. Yet the Governor devised a system, mainly on his own reponsibiiity, in time for his proclamation on the very next day, and he and Adjt Gen. Reynolds, have ever since been incessantly occupied looking to everthing and answering correspondence, w ithout even a private secretary, which office was abolished immediately on the Governor's coming into office. The Governor is much indisposed and fatigued by labors night and day, yet he will be ready to go with our troops to New Albany to aid in their organization, and to do verytliing for their comfort and welfare before they leave the State. Well done Indiana ! Governor AVIiitcomb, When the requisition was made on Indiana for troops, there was a patriotic impatience on the part of the people, for the Governor to seize hold of money wherever he could find it, in order to equip our troops and send them at once to the seat of war; but the Governor, finding that there would be sufficient time to digest a well regulated system of expending money, suffered himself to be abused, even by some democrats, for what they conceived to be a tardiness on his part. Our Executive has been laboriously engaged, night and day, since the requisition was made, and has digested a systenTof expenditure, that will enable him to give a strict account of every dollar expended, which will strengthen the prospect of having the whole amount expended by Indiana refunded by the General Government. Five or six years experience in one of the most responsible departments at Washington, led him at once to see the necessity of system and rigid accountability in all his operations. When bis plan was fully devised, the people, on all hands, were perfectly astonished at the rapid organization of companies. In a few days the three Regiments were complete, and a corps of reserve of some twenty companies, which can be extended to almost any amount, has been raised to meet the next requisition on Indiana. We shall not be ashamed to compare notes with the chivalry of Kentucky and will leave Ohio in he back ground. A thousand cheers for Indiana and ber Democratic Governor. Iudiaua. We venture the assertion, without fear of successful contradiction, that Indiana has done better relative to raising volunteers, than any other state in the Union. If we have leisure, and it should become necessary, we will demonstrate it to every candid mind. - " OCjT By a notice in our advertising columns, it will be seen that the Sheriff of Hancock county, offers a reward for Stephen Kellogg, who escaped from jail in February last. He is supposed to be in jSt. Louis. Editors in Illinois and Missouri are requested to copy the notice for the public good.

Gov. Wliitcomb -Jo. G. Marshall.

We have been struck with the cool impudence with which some of the Whig leaders and Mr. Marshall himself complain of what they call the abuse of the latter in relation to the Eeckwith affair. They speak of it as if it were the first instance of personal detraction d uring the present canvass. The first instance indeed ! Look at the w hole Whig press. You will scarcely find a paper among them that has not personally abused Gov. Whitcomb ever since he came into office. And if tbey are ever forced to admit that he has done a good action, they invari ably ascribe it to a wrong motive. Mr. Marshall himself, while complaining in his speech at this place of the Beckwith charge against him, and as to which he publicly acquitted Gov. Whitcomb, of any participation, even Mr. Marshall himself, although he could not but approve of the nomination of Judge Dewey, arcribed it to a wrong motive in the Governor ! Now, the large number of citizens present could not but contrast the course of Gov. Whitcomb on that occasion. He spoke of and treated his opponent with respect, anJ nerer impeached his motives. He left all that to the audience. He commented on his speech, noticed his arguirents, if any, and vindicated his own action and policy. Not only did he treat his " worthy competitor " as he etjled him, respectfully, but he treated every one else absent or present, personally as a gentleman should. Whoever heard of James Whitcomb abusing any man for conduct other than official 1 The Harrison Gazette and other Whig papers that felt compelled to approve in the main of the Governor's Message at the last session, ascribed its wholesome and judicious recommendations also to bad motives. Can Gov. Whitcomb expect to please such men ! If he docs wrong he ought to be, and of course would be, blamed if he does right he is to have no credit for it. An intelligent people are observing all this, and they will rebuke such conduct in a voice of thunder. But although we complain of the slanders of a prejudiced press, against Gov. Whitcomb, that is not the greatest injustice done him. These particularly impartial editors know that whatever defamation sees the light through their columns, can be, as it always has been, promptly refuted. The plan is, therefore, by a cool and regularly organized system of falsehood from mouth to mouth, to endeavor to injure Governor Whitcomb, secretly and privately. The plan was covertly and adroitly recommended by one of the speakers at the Whig Convention last winter that nominated Mr. Marshall. Toadies are employed to retail falsehoods systematically. We have our eye on about three already in this place, who are most coramendably engaged ia this business. We arc only waiting for a few more facts to stamp it upon them and publish their names. A confiding public should be put on its guard against such walking nuisances. " The people of this State are anxious to select for their next Governor, a man who will be influenced in the performance of the duties of his station by a higher consideration than the advancement of mere partisan views. They are becoming heartily sick of elevating men to exalted stations, who have no other clain. to their suffrages than having made politics a trade, and who have for years been in the enjoyment of the emoluments of office," &c. The above passage from the Indiana Journal fits the Whig Junto here to a hair, although doubtless not so intended. The people of Indiana tried the old dynasty of Governors long enough. When was there a solitary instance in which the advancement of partisan views was not made by them the leading object ! Look at their long array of humbug fund commissioners! Not a Democrat among them! They were all appointed by Whig Governors. That accounts for It. "What remarkably profound financiers they were! Didn't they get the State rich fast? Well they didn't do any thing else. But some how the poor benighted people got " heartily sick " of this old dynasty who M made politics a trade," for they had no other means of living, and in 1343 they elected our present Governor to the office which he holds. Under his management all will admit that the State has not got poorer ; on the contrary the sun shine smile of improvement is visible every where. This has alarmed the old Junto. They fear their craft is in danger. If Whitcomb is suffered to administer the government of the State three years longer, our affairs will become so prosperous that they fear the people will not soon call for the aid of these smart men again to manage (!) for them. There's the rub ! The Editor of the Indiana Journal has a great horror of men who have or years been in the enjoyment of the emoluments of office." Morris Morris, Esq. his father-in-law, was in the " enjoyment of the emoluments of the office" of Auditor of Fublic Accounts for how low long do you think reader 1 Only from 1828 to 1843 twenty-four years in succession! That is rich. If Marshall is elected, who does not see that the old Junto are again to come in. The Journal we presume would then have no objection to the emoluments of office. Generals Scott and C aincs. Late numbers of the Union contain the correspondence, (called for by Congress) between Generals Scott and Gaines and the War Department. It is certainly one of the roost disgusting developments ever made. It cannot bat serve to show the magnanimity of the Freaident, while it develops the extreme littleness of Scott especially. We are sure that the country will be surprised at the almost incredible display of weakness made by the latter. It will also show the injustice of the complaints recently made by whig scribblers against President Polk. The President offered the command of the Army to Scott, but Scott hesitated for fear that in his absence intrigues would be set on foot against him as a candidate for the Presidency ! He therefore delayed accepting the command, and finally sent an insulting letter to the Secretary of War, in which he impeached the motives of the President in offering him the command. He was consequently ordered to remain at Washington, the order for his taking command of the Army being revoked in favor of the brave General Taylor. Scott saw too late that he had made a fool of himself, and he then begged most piteously for forgiveness and reappointment, but without success. We shall publish the correspondence as soon as we can. Epigrams written by members of the House, at their desk, on reading the Scott correspondence. THE DILEMMA. To fight with Mexico in front, I what I am resolv'd I won't f For if I should, I greatly fear, Some fatal, deadly Polk la rear. The latest case of suicide, altered from an old epigram : Of all the tolJiera who were tlaia, (hi Palo Altai bloody plain, Not one (truck down by sword or ihot, Fell half to fiat as Gen'ral Scott ! 07 A regular-built Tory article, in relation to the Mexican war, recently appeared in the Univcrsalist paper published in this city. The writer shows himself to be a thorough-going disciple of the Hartford Convention school of politicians, who thought it not only wrong and irreligious to fight thePublic Enemy, but equally "wicked to rejoice over tho victories acbeived by our own soldiers. Such an article, in a professedly religious paper, supported by democrats as well as whigs, is as insulting as it is outrageous, and almost unpardonable. CIn the late great race on Long Island, Fashion, s usual, was victorious, winning -easily in two straight heats.

Tho Oregon Question Settled!

Our advices from Washington seem to make it unquestionable that the Oregon question is on the point of settlement. At least, there seems tobe no reason to doubt the statement that negotiations have been renewed by Great Britain. A correspondent of the Louisville Democrat, under date of Washington, June C, says "I have reason to believe, that the ultimatum of Mr. Pakeuham is the 49th degree of latitude, reserving to Great Britain the w hole of Vancouver's Island, and the navigation of the Columbia, for ten years. You may rely upon tins. Of course, it roust be regarded as a rumor, as Cabinet secret) are never disclosed in advance of action. I have reason to believe that all the friends of Mr. Calhoun are urging upon the President tLe necessity of submitting tlie proposition of the British Minister to the Senate. They are in favor of it, and if referred to that body. be prepared to see the Oregon controversy settled at this session of Congress. It i3 a little curious that Webster introduced into his speech the very terms now proposed. That speech has had full time to go to England and receive consideration prior to the despatches of the present ultimatum. All we can now say is, that it is a very strange affair." All this corresponds with our own notions and predictions heretofore made. And the statements of this writer are confirmed by others. The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, under date of June 9th says I am justified by my information, which is from authentic sources, in saying that the Oregon question, is, in fact, SETTLED, so far as the British government and the President are concerned. The President will communicate to the Senate, in a few days, the proposition of Mr. Fakcnham, and take the advice of that body upon it. A treaty will be concluded in a fortnight, beyond a doubt. The terms offered are such, that there can be no reasonable objection to them. They are, substantially forty-nine whole of Vancouver's island and common navigation of the Columbia. Cabinet Changes. There is to be a general change in the Cabinet, consequent upon the adjustment of the Oregon question. Mr. Buchanan is to retire from the State Department Some say Mr. Rush will succeed him. Mr. Walker may be transferred to the War Department. That part of the arrangement I doubt. Mr. Haywood will take Mr. Bancroft's place, and Mr. B. will go abroad. Mr. McLane will return from England immediately. Or-We do not swallow quite all this, whole. The Invasion of Mexico. It seems to be the determination of Government to proceed with vigor against the Mexicans until they are brought to proper term', and the difficulties which have existed be satisfactorily settled. The Union of the 5th, speaking of this matter, says it has ascertained some interesting facts touching the state of the army, and the plans of the campaign, but docs not state particularly what they are, except its belief that the executive is doing every thing it can, doing it with every degree of energy by land and by sea, in order to conduct the present campaign to its legitimate results, to bring the enemy to terms, and to conquer an honorable and permanent peace. Gen. Taylor, says the Union, has about 8,000 troops under his eagles. Hundreds ai.d thousands of volunteers were pouring into his camp. He will soon be in advance into the enemy's country; and we shall not be surprised to hear of his reaching Monterey, about 130 miles from Matamoras, about the commencement of the table land, in a healthy region at no distant day. The same paper of the 6th says, though we may regret, on some accounts, the necessity which thus forces us to an armed vindication of our rights, no man can doubt that :he path of our policy is clear, that it is our duty to urge our attack at onre upon every assailable point of the Mexican frontier, and to complete our preparations as speedily as possible for pressing on into the heart of the Mexican country, to demand and to dictate peace, if need be, within the Mexican capital. The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, under date of the 7th, writes as follows : It is now understood that Commodore Connor has orders, after refitting his squadron at Pensacola, to attack the Castle at Vera Cruz, and take it if he can. It is said that two seventy-foura and the Pennsylvania will be added to his squadron. It lias been reported that Commodore Warrington ia to command the expedition, but that is doubtful. The squadron ii to carry very heavy Paixhan guns, and, as soon as a breach is made, the castle is to be stormed. It is said that, during the rainy season, which has now commenced and lasts four months, the climate at Vera Cruz is more healthy or rather less noxious, than at the close of the rainy season. There are many propositions talked of in reference to the route to be chosen for the army of invasion. This subject lias been deeply considered by the government, and, at the many consultations upon it, not only military men, but private citizens have assisted. Should the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa be taken, the old Spanish military road from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico will betaken. 1 his road passes tnrougn Jalapa and Ferote. The distance is two hundred and seventynine miles. Between Vera Cruz and Jalapa is the Puerto el Xactonal, or del Rey, which has such natural advantages, as a post, that a very small force there stationed, can, it is said, defeat an army as numerous as that of. Atrxes. The whole roaa, a i most, is commanded oy mountain heights, from which a few pieces of artillery could resist the progress of our army. The country peo ple the women and children alone Dy pushing down stones and rocks could repel an invasion. But all these are difficulties that will render success more glorious. The route from Tampico has the advantage of being shorter, as well as more practicable. It lies alone; the valley Ue Maize, so called, and will lurnisn an abundance of supplies for the invaders. I do not know whether it has been determined to march an army to the city of Mexico by either of those routes; but an invasion will lake place by routes that some consider as more difficult. Col. Kearney's force will take the route by Santa Fe, and Gen. Wool's by Chihuahua, and Major General Taylor's by Monterey, 130 miles south-west of Matamoras. In September, probably, the three divisions of the army ot invasion will concentrate at San Luis de Po los i, whence the army will march to the city of the Montezuma, a distance of three hundred miles. This is a long and weary way, but it has some advantages. This plan of invasion will make thorough work as it goes. It will give us possession of the country on the upper Rio Grande, and cut off all communication between the north-eastern provinces of Mexico and the capital. Mr. Poinsett travelled on a mule from Tampico to Mexico in 12 days and 6 hours. The distance is 312 miles. The statement which I made some days ago, that the Pacific squadron bad orders to take possession of the norU and harbors of California, is confirmed by a rtateinent in the official paper. They are probably now in our possession, and will remain so, unless we have war with Great Daitain. Wa have accounts showing that emigration to the Californias from the West is rapidly increasing. The mili ary force which the government is to send to the Upper California, co-operating with the naval force, will protect and encournge emigration; and should the war continue one year, I look upon it as certain that California will have become Americanized, that popular sentiment will forbid its surrender to Mexico on any terms whatever, and that it will ultimately be made an integral portion of this Union. Political Speaking. Our readers will find in our paper to day, a list of appointments, at which P. C. Dunning the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor will address his fellow citizens. Let notices be set up in time in the respective neighborhoods. The people who can possibly make it convenient, will not regret hearing Dunning.. He is an energetic and argumentative speaker. We arc also requested to say, that by the call made upon Indiana for volunteers to fight our country's battles, Gov. Whitcomb has been so much occupied as to prevent him from addressing the people to any great extent. He hae been very anxious to visit them once more in their respective counties, for the purpose of giving them an account of his political stewardship and of discussing the great questions that agitate the country.

Head Quarters Indiana Militia. Adjutant General's OrrtcE, ) Indianapolis, Ind., June 13, 1S1G. General Orders, Xo 5. I. The Governor and Commander-in-Chief takes great pleasure in announcing to tha officers and soldiers, and to the citizens at large, that on the 10th instant the entire number of Volunteers called for from Indiana, consisting of thirty companies of Infantry and Riflemen, had been reported to this office, and their services duly tendered and accepted for the existing War between the United States and the Republic of Mexico. II. There have been subsequently reported for the same service, seventeen additional companies, (and a considerable number of others are still expected,) whose services the Commander-in-Chief has, with great regret, been compelled to decline, in consequence of the limited number called for having already been supplied, as above stated. III. The companies subsequently reported, will, as they have already been informed by letter, be called on in the order in which they have been reported, to fill any vacancies occasioned by the failure of any accepted companies to march to the place of rendezvous, if any there should be. IV. 07" Should the commandant of any accepted company discover that he trill be unable to march hi company to the place of rendezvous, duly organized, with at least 77 officers and privates, by the 20A in., he will immediately report this expected inability to the undersigned, in order that the first subsequently reported companies may be promptly assigned to the vacancy, with the least possible delay. The absolute necessity for prompt attention to this rule must be manifest. V. Companies subsequently reported will perceive the necessity of holding themselves in momentary readiness to answer any such exigency as that just mentioned. ..VI. Should the honor or interests of the country occasion another and similar call on the citizen soldiers of Indiana, the companies subsequently reported will be entitled to the preference, sliould they still desire it. VII. C7"In answer to numerous applications for appointments as surgeons, assistant surgeons, and other staff officers, it is proper to say, that the Governor does not possess the power of making any such appointments. By the law of Indiana, the proper Colonel appoints the regimental staff, but most proba bly a bill has by this time received the sanction of Congress, conferring that power upon the President, so far as surgeons and assistant surgeons are concerned. VIII. The Commander-in-Chief will repair to the place of rendezvous by the 20th instant, at farthest, for the purpose of aiding in the final organization of the troops there assembled ; ot taking early steps for filling the place of any company which may be found absent on that day; of making early arrangements for supplying such of the volunteers with suitable clothing as may require it; and generally or consulting their comfort and welfare. In the mean time, all military correspondence must be addressed to the undersigned. By order of the Governor and Commander-in-Chief : DAVID REYNOLDS, Adjutant General, I. M. The Marion Volunteers. We publish the names of the volunteers from t'uis county, as at present enrolled, for the public and private benefit. We venture the assertion that no com pany from the Hoosier State is composed of better materiel, and under competent instruction they will " do the State some service," not only in the field, but wherever they may be.

Hail of Representatives, June 6, 1316. Messrs. Editors: On the 15th of this month the bill to modify the tariff will probably be taken up. I consider myself instructed to so vote as to mo certainly secure a repeal of the minimums and specific duties of the tariff of 1S12. I presume also that my constitnents understand me as being favorable to a pretty extensive free list, including tea and coffee. But this understanding had relation to a time of peace. We are now in the midst of a war, which more than tripli cates the National expenditure a war, the object of which is permanent peace, with a neighboring nation which has been led by National Vanity to think seri ously of inflicting upon us punishment, instead of rendering us justice and whose country is vastly extensive, and naturally easy of defence a war which if vigorously prosecuted, will bring to us peace, indemnity, and national aggrandisement, and extend the area of our national liberty, and laws a war of honor and glory, as well as of interest and for justice. To carry on this war taxation most be increased or a public debt incurred to a large amount. My own judgment does not lead me to change the views, 6o often expressed, in favor of a tariff for revenue merely, without reference to that purpose of monopoly falsely called protection. But I am, I presume, as I have above stated, understood by my constituents as favoring an extensive free list, including tea and coffee. But that understanding, I have 6aid, had reference to a time of peace. To save the government from the necessity of incurring a public debt, or to lessen its amount, my judgment indicates the propriety of assessing a moderate duty upon tea. coffee and the other articles included in the free list, in the bill pending before Congress. It is believed that a ratio of duties upon the free list, equivalent to one cent per pound upon coffee will be sufficient to save us from a public debt, or at least greatly to reduce its amount. Such duties will be proposed to continue only during the war, or, at least, to terminate in a few months after the return of peace. It is my desire that you and the other democratic editors in my District should consult with our friends, and inform me, editorially, of the public opinion upon this point. I also desire our friends to write to me freely on the point presented. In less than a month from this time I shall have the votes to cive, and consequently instruction?, to be available, must reach me in something less than that time. In a few days I shall have procured an estimate of the daily national expenditure, needful to carry on the government, and the war, and to meet public engage ments, i shall send it to you tor publication in your paper, and the other papers in my district will, I hope, transfer it, as well as this letter, t their columns. Our people ought to know, and understand all of these matters. I would write to each editor in my District, but for want of time. When they see this, or other communications from me, in the Senti nel, I desire that they will act as if it were addressed to them.
