The following telegraphic daspatch to LouUvill U of an important and exci ting character: New Yobk, July 11. A telegraphic despatch from Taris to the Courier and Enquirer, dated Friday evening, June 23, states that the members of the Frort sioual Government had resigned, and that Gen. Cavaignac headed the troops, and had declared the capital in a state of sei. Fighting was going on in the streets, and the telegraph had been cut down to prevent further couimunicaeation. fjQpThe telegraph announces the resignation of Governor Shunk, of Pennsylvania. He has been in bad health lor some time, which compels him to the step. (QrVe believe there is not solitary Whig paper in Pennsylvania or Delaware or New Jersey or Vermont or Maine or Connecticut or New Hamp:hire or Massachusetts or Rhode Island or Michigan or Wisconsin or low a, that hesitate to support Gen.

SPEECH OF MR. STEWART. " (CONCLUDED.) And there was another thing to which he wished to call the especial attention of gentlemen. Gen. Cass was said to be a friend to

economy, lie was a very great economist. lie takes especial care ot the people s money especially when be gets it into his own pocket. (Laughter.) He had some proofs on this subject to which he would refer the committee and he called upon gentlemen to examine the official documents which be should produce. Gen. Cass, it was known, was once Governor of Michigan, and ex-officio Superintendent of Indian A flairs, appointed under a special law, with a uxed salary ot per annum, lie was appointed Governor ana was ex-officio Superintendent of Indian Affairs just as the President ol the United Mates is President and ex-officio Comrasndment-in-Chief of the Army and Nary, and lie would ask gentlemen had the one any more ngat to extra pay than the other? But Gor. Cass not onljr drew bis salary while he held that office, between serenteen and eighteen years; but be charged ex tra compensation while drawing bis salary of &2.000 per annum, amounting to the enor mous sum ol $uu,0l2 over and above bis sala ry. He would read to the com mitte some of the items to show what the character of these charges were, which be had derived from offi cial and authentic sources, and which could not and he presumed would not be controverted on this floor. Extra charge by Governor Cass as Governor and Superintendent of Indian Affairs, over and above hi regular salary, as per document No. 224, 1S39, 3d session, 2bth Congress, page 2. From October 9, 181 3, to May 29, (9 years) ten rations per day (20 cents each) S0.C10 From October 9. 1813, to July 31, 1831, $1,500 per annum, extra salary 26.715 833,325 years afsaid to be allowed by Mr. Calhoun six ter he was. out of office.

His regular salary as governor and ex-ojficio superintendent of Indian affairs of the Territory of Michigan, 82,000 per annum for abont 18 years 36,000 id. 81 ,ouu per annum extra salary from 1813 to 1831. nearly 18 years paid in 1831 ' 26,715 Kations ten rations per day at 20 cts. each for between nine and ten years 6,610 id. 8i,5UU per annum extra salary from 1821 to 1831, abont ten years, bung part of the above IS years 14,375 4tn. bpeciUc charges for 773 days of the above time, at 83 per day and 40 cents mileage, in attending at Indiana treaties, at Washington to settle his own accounts, and for extra pay as above, preparing an Indian code, &c., being upwards of 816 per day for the time specified above 12,712 Total 896,412 This last charge, with his three salaries, one fixed at 82,000, and two extra salaries of 81,500 each, would make bis pay for this period amount to 811.355 per annum more than 831 per day, Sundays aud all, exclusive of his rations, taken from the pockets of the tax-pay uig pcuuic ui wie united states ny uen. Cass for his services as governor and superintend ent of Indian affairs for the territory of Mich gan at a fixed salary of 82,000 per annum, it sucn were His extras as a territorial governor, what will they be as President? At the same rate they will amount to upwards of 860.000 per annum, which be would have just as I i - 1 m , uuu a rigm iu ciaim asex-oincto commanaer-in-chief of the army and navy of the U, States. Where is the difference! In connexion with this, there was the fact that some of these accounts were made out and certified when he was himself Secretary of War; but, not likeng to pass his own accounts, he left them for his successor, with the endorsement that they were authorized and correct. ' And yet Gen. Cass was a great economist! He subscribed to the Baltimore maxim that "the people's money must be carefully guarded for the people's benefit." But he (Mr. S.) thought the General had in this case had rather exceeded the bounds of moderation, whatever the opinions of others might be. But this was not all that General Cass had received. Besides the above, received as Governor of Michigan and ex-officio superintendent of Indian Affairs, he was about five years Secretarv of War at SG.000 per annuo, bein? a total of 820,000. He was subsequently

some six years minister to St. Cloud at $9,000 per annum, being $54,000, with an outfit of

9.000 and an inflt of 4,500; making a total of 97,500. The amount of extra charges during his travels in Europe and to the Holy Land he had not yet ascertained; be presumed they were considerable. And to these sums his per diem and Mileage as Senator from Michigan, 4Us. pay as an officer during the late war with Great Britain, and it would present an aggregate of between two and three hundred thousand dollars ol the people s money. Enough he thought to satisfy a reasonable mau; but it seemed not, he wants one hun dred thousand more. Of the private conduct and character of Gen. Cass be would say nothing, but his official conduct was a fair and legitimate subject of discussion; and he would not snrinK irora me aiscnarge oi uis auty, oc the consequences what thev may. It was to the extra charges he wished to call the special attention of his friends, and he would be glad U . SL. !- Iii tuey couiu luruisu some sausiaciory explanation of these extraordinary charges, which he feared they could not and would not. He hoped the mends of Gen. Cass would examine these matters and be able to give some explanation of the subject. The people of this country would expect it to be cleared up some bow or other, though be believed it would be found that there were no vouches to sustain these extra charces not the oath of a single witness to establish their justice, but they were left to depend mainly if not altogether on the statements of Gen. Cass himself, on his own ipse dixit. But bis hour was fast waistxngaway and must hurry on. There was another thing to which he desired to refer. If be had the time he wonld like to refer to the expenditures during the present war with Mexico. He, however, bad not the time to refer satisfactorily to the wasteful expenditure of money. . There had been much of it squandered amongst Presidential partisans ana favorites; some rewarded with nigh offices, such as Pillow & Co., and others with fat contracts. Thev bad paid for the hire of steamboats alone 351,631 a month, and the sum of 115,900 had been paid for old and worthless vessels. But he had not time to refer to these matters in detail, which he bad before him; he might put them in his speech should he ever write it out. But be roust hasten to advert to another thing, which would show how the great economist of this Administration spent "the people's money for the people's benefit. His attention had been called to the fact that this Government had been expending the people's money for the benefit of hundreds of their partisans and pets for actually doing nothing; and in many of the custom-houses in the country at this time the receipts were wholly inadequate to the payment of the officers who were qurlered on the Eublic. Far instance, there were fifty customoufces, of which he had made a list, that collected the sum of 74,425 77; to collect which an expense was incurred of 361,075 36 over and above the entire receipts of the officers a clear loss to the Treasury of this amount to support the party; making, therefore, an expen diture of 434,601 16 paid to support customhouses that paid not one cent into the Treasury. There were twenty one custom-houses whose aggregate receipts were 832,218 39, the whole ot which, together with $270,23023, was paid to a set of idle officers ostensibly employed in its collection, but actuallyjdoing little or nothing; a gross sum, without any receipts to meet the expenditures, of 8302,497 07 thrown away on favorites! There were likewise ten custom bouses which collected the sum of $867 19, which cost the Government 836,213 22, or $35,331 31 over and above the whole receipts. And tnat was using "the peoples money for the people's benefit, according to the Baltimore resolutions, Oh, say they, you must take care to spend the people s money foe the peo pie's benefit, and here, as an example, was an expenditure of 836,343 32 to collect 8G7 19! If gentlemen bad any doubt on this subject he had before him a transcript from the official statements, made out by an officer of this House, which he would hand to the Reporter; he had not time now to read it. Here is a portion of the list: Statement showing the gross amount of revenue collected in the following districts, and the excess of expenditure beyond the duties received for the year 1845 Excess of expenditures Districts.

In matters of this kiud he understood ha was peculiarly rigid and exact; and ft is now, in these times of profligacy and wsnton waste, that the country apd tfca ljx paying people want such an hon est and faithful man as General Taylor to muster and inspect the crew, dismiss the idle and useless, put "the ship to rights," get it fairlr before the wind, and wjtb a noble crew and well-selected commanders, our nnhl thin nf State would oii surmount every obstacle, and ue uncc more sajejy moored m the haven of peace and prosperity; The Baltimore Convention speak in their resolutions, with ereat exultation, nf tho Mot. ican war and the Mexican pc.ee. And what have we got by one or by the other? This war has thrown this country back full half a century. Look at its demoralizing effects; look what it hasCOtt in blood and treasure. Ami fnr 1! this, what have we got? Nothing; fear worse than nothing. Sir. the neruniarr riKi . r-T v I j .vvj of this war, and this was br no ir.ran3 its greatest cost, would not fail short past, present

and prospective of some three or four hundred millions of dollars.

Cost already incurred, say 8100,000,000 Land bounties u.wu.uuu Amount paid Mexico, debt and money w,uuu,uuu Addition to pension list, two mil lions for twentv-five vears. 50.000.000 Standing arm v to defend the northern , . r r , frontier of Mexico, and maintaining our new possessions there, five millions per rear for ten years, 50,000,000 Increase of army and navy at home, five millions per annum, say ten years. 50,000,000 Incidental expenses, damage, losses, &c.. to be provided for hereafter. say 10,000,000 8396,000,000 And to this add the loss of time and labor to the country of fifty thousand volunteers for two years, and the loss to families and to the country of fifteen or twenty thoasan i valuible lives. And, he repeated for all this, what have we gained? New Mexico and California which will cost us every year to maiutain and defend, as much as it is worth. And where is our promised 'indemnity for the past and se curityfor the future? Indemnity! We have none, not a cent for all our losses; but Mexico has received "indemnity for the past by a re lease of the five millions of debt which Mr. Polk made the war to recover, and fifteen mil lions in cash; aud as to 'security for the future we have none. But what has Mexico? She has security for the future. We are bound to protect her northern frontier against the hos tile and predatory incursions of the Indians of Lai i (or ma, now ours, heretofore a source of so much annoyance, expense and sufferinz to her people. 'From these calamities she is tobe hereafter protected, not by her own, but by American armies; so that, in point of fact, ft -m Mexico, anu not jyu. rolk has got all lie "indemnity for the past and security for the future. Such are the benefits of our war and the blessings of our peace, of which we hear so much boasting on the other side of the House. Sir, but for the madness and follr of this ad ministration, all we have cot could have been obtained, by wise counsels and amicable "nego tiation, for some fifteen or twenty millions. f iiu tan uuuui iu liut no, noimng out war and bloodshed Would saisfy the President; he would "cavil on the ninth part of a hair," he would not consent to change the title of our negotiator sent to Mexico from "minister pie uipuiciuiary to "commissioner, wnitn was all that required to secure his recognition bv Mexico, and the opening of negotiations for peace. Rather than comply with this reasonable request, he instantly ordered Gen. Taylor to march to the Bio Grande, and commenced the war Without consulting Congress, then in session; thus fixing on Pulk and his party the responsibility, the fearful responsibility of this war and all its consequences. But there was another grave objection he ha 1 td the policy of the administration. Our gov ernment, as now administered, has in etfect become a foreign Government. We could now do everything abroad and nothing at home. The American people were taxed for the benefit 01 toreigners. lhe millions raised to carry on this war had been expended for the 'most part in a foreign country. Internal improvements were unconstitutional at home, but not abroad; we could survey, and of course imnrove. the Dead Sea, we could make roads and canals across the isthmus of Panama and Tehuante pec. If we want good they must come from abroad. American hats, shoes and coals, were not good enough for the Administration; they reduced the duties and brought, them from abroad. A proposition was actually made by his colleague, (Air. J. C. Inxersoll.) and sus tained by his party, a few days ago, to take half the present low duties off the rich mau's luxuries, jewelry, and everything of the I. .1 i nn" I ... . sinn, ana on iron, coai.ciotn, tiats, Mioes, and every species of manufacture, reducing the re venue one half expressly to favor foreigners, wno were represented by bis colleague to be in a suffering condition, (no matter about Americans) and then, to make up, it was proposed to put a duty ot twenty-live per cent on lhe poor man's tea and coffee. Thus, Sir, everything done by those -progressives inure to the benefit of foreigners. Our money is sent in ship loads abroad; our improvements are foreign; our army and our navy are employed abroad. Ererrthine is foreign, foreign; nothing American. No power to protect or benefit ourown people or improve our own country, i ne power to contract debts to tu and oppress the ieople, were the only legitimate powers of Government as now ad ministered. Was this not true to the letter? Uould the people longer submit to this state ol things? lhe power and the remedy was in their own hands, and they would apply it by elevating that honest, rue hearted American, Uen. lay lor to the Presidency, who would soon correct these foreign and anti-American tendencies, and bring the country back to the good old revolutionary principles of the true American policy of the earlier and better days ui me repuoiic. The Baltimore platform had a creat manv things in it to which his brief remaining time would not permit him to allude. He saw amongst other things, they had a resolution in which they repeated the President's charge tht the Whigs gave "aid and comfort to the ene my. ov he would like to know what sort of "aid aud comforr Gld Zack cave to the ene my? Mr. Polk sent Santa Anna to give them aiu suacomior', wane insieaj Ol aid, lien'irsl Taylor cave them "a little more crane" and canister. He wished gentleman opposite to maxe tne most ol that "aid and comfort;" Old Zack had spiked that cannon, or rather had turned it upon their own ranks, now flying like Mexicans before him. In the next place they go in for a sound currency; and yet the parly, after the destruction of the United States Bank, had established six or seven hundred State Banks. This had been done by Democratic Legislatures in Democratic States. But it was perfectly consistent with all they did. They make au outcry against Bank paper and they fill the country with ille gitimate paper money, issued in violation of the constitution, which expressly declared that no State should "issue bills of credit," and of course they could no. authorize others to do what the States themselves were not authorizs edto do, This provision, Mr. Madison savs, was inserted for the very purpose of preventing the States frornjäsuiug or authorizing the issue of "paver money m HefMr.S.i u-nni a bank man. We had too many banks. He was opposed to a United States Bank, though he had once voted for it under the unanimous instruction of a Democratic Pennsylvania Legislature, when every member from Pennsylvania in this House voted for it but one. Next, the Baltimore nlatform der1.irp'tht the present Administration had given "a noble impulse to free trade." br reoealins th tarlfr of 1S12 and establishing that of 1S16. This was announced as the crowning merit and glo

ry of Mr. Polk's administration. It was too late

to enter upon mat sucjeci, ior nis lime was al most expired,' but he would merely observe that their system had been so successful as to froduce a balance of perhaps some forty milions against the country. Specie was iu cousequence going out of the country at the rate of three millions a month from the port of New York alone, and goods were coming in by in illions;andhe would tell them, while their tmporlsare vastly increased under the tariff of 1846, that their exports were tailing greatly falling off. The exports of breadstuüs will not be one-tenth part of what they were last year, and, judging from what he saw in the last Union, they would be much less than that. , The "Union" of yestenlay states the exports to Great Britain of flour last year at 2,269,124 barrels, this year, 129,191; wheat last, 2,157,443 bushels; this year, 215,139; and soon; and yet gentlemen talk of evidence of the worth of their system. Where was it, and what was it? A crisis is approaching; it will soon be upon us. The result of such a system would be a crisis such as they hud in 1310, which will crush the banks, the people; and the country, producing the scenes and sufferings of 1310, which cannot be forgotten jor averted. The famine and the revolutions in Europe have postponed the crisis; the expenses of the war, too, nave helped; but it is coming and must come. While exports are falling off they boast of increased imports and increasing revenue under low duties thus boasting of that which must bring inevitable ruin. The Baltimore Convention next boasted of this glorious war with Mexico. They were welcome to all its glories, and all its responsibilities. The policy of the Whigs was peace and not war. The policy of the Whigs, too, was economy and uot extravagance; and ll Gen. Taylor, that faithful an true patriot, should come into power which no man can doubt if, he repeated. Gen. Taylor should come into power a man into whose face, they were told by Gens. Smith and Twiggs, no man could look and make a dishonorable proposition he would bring back the expenditures to what they were in the early days of the republic, when Washington, Jefferson, and Madison presided over its destinies. Taylor, this second Washington would bring back this Government to the purer principles and better policy of the first. Thank God that period is approaching; U is at hand already; its approach is heralded by Here the Chairman's hammer announced the expiration of the gentleman hour, and he took his seat. To the Editors of the Louisvill Journal: Gextlemes: In the Democrat of the 6th inst. there is a communication signed "Senex," re viewing a communication published in the Journal, dated New Albany, July 3, iu which Senex charges the author with "falsehood knavery, and uiiblu&hing impudence." Per haps a fair statement of fects by a volunteer who was an eye and ear-witness of all the facts in relation to the organization of the Iudi- . L I f ICH II . i .1, anaongaue iu une, ioiu, win put to resi me question of veracity between the parties. It is a fact well known, that at a meeting of the officers of the Indiana volunteers, iu the parlor ot the Iev Albany Hotel, June lölb, Gov. Whitcomb slated that the laws of Indiana made no provision for the organization of vol unteer companies into regiments except byvoluntary association, and recommended to the officers to retire and associate themselves into regiments. The officers upon this recom inundation soon formed one regiment and re ported the fact to the Governor, and their pro ceedings were sanctioned by him, but, betöre a writ of election could be issued, some of his parasites (uot volunteers) set themselves to work to produce dissatisfaction among the men aud succeeded in prevail in" ou one coin puny (the Lauesvilte Legion) to withdraw from the association, and, although there were other companies ready to join. Gov. Whit comb refused lo permit them, and made known his intention to organize them himself, w hich was done in such a way as to secure the elec lion of his partizans. In fact the electionof officers was a wholesale barter and trade affair; mauy of the men not voting at all four com panier of the first regiment not even opening a poll. Senex asks the question, "how could Gov Whitcomb have any agency in the election of officers? 1 will answer this question by ask ing another. Does benex know that the Gov eruor was several days in organizing the three regiments, and that he was beset the whole of that time, day and night, by his partizans, each oue insisting they should be organized to suit himself? What was this delay lor? 1 answer, to enable the successful candidates to ascertain their strength an.ong the men, and as soon as that was known, Gov. V hitcomb decided the question and organised them by geographical lines, dividing the Slate into three parts, each. part to contain a regiment. Y here can GovWhitcomb or any of his partizans find law for this? There is none, as every citizen of Indi ana of ordinary intelligence knows. Then why take the law into his own hands in defiance ol express statutes on the subject, if he had no partisan euds to gain? The regiment that was organised bv volunta ry association had 11 Aigs selected lor their officers, such men as the gallant, generous, and noble Tid ton: and none will dire sar the resuit at Buena ista would nave been the same - ... - . it ne nad been at their iiead, as it is well known he was peculiarly qualified by nature and education to tkae command in the field. Kobody asked Gov. "Whitcomb to withhold the commissions of officers, but we did ask the privilege of electing men that would suit us. and I can see no reason why the choice of onethird of the companies should not be respected by the Governor, only that be and his partisuis were heard tosay that the regim?uts should be so organised that no whig should eet into office. Even after the election of Joseph Lane as colonel of the 2d regiment, and his appointment as brigadier general, we succeeded in electing Capt. Wm. L. Saun tie rsoa as colonel; . V ... - . nut ne, aunoug a Democrat, did not suit the party, because it was well known he would uot carry out their views iu his appointments; so part of the returns were suonreKsed and the election was declared null aud void: and in mis situation we inarched to the seat of war, under the command of a man who had been elected in sport, and in whom ths men placed uviouiiurnce. After our arrival on Brazos Island. Col. Bowles was finallv elected on the; he was a clever fellow, and it is onlr justice to say that he was uniformly kind, indulgent, and attentive to the comfort of his men, but he lacked the all important requisite of qualifica tion.
