For the Journal. A. H. Sanders, Esq. In April, 1819, by

means of a secret and welt-devised plan of operations the anti-License men of the

city secured a majority ot otie in the township, against granting License to vend spir

ituous liquors. The fact that it was intended to vote on that question at all, was carefully concealed from all who were supposed to be in favor of License, and the tickets were endorsed "no license," in pencil, so as not very

readily to attract attention. The consequence was that some, (and among them one at least who was at the time vending spirits at retail)

voted against license, who would have voted for license if they had been apprised of what

was going on. The result was a majority of one agninst license. The Mayor, and the Councilman of the 4th, 5th and 6th wards.re-

Editor Journal Sir: I believe I pay no undue compliments to Evansville and its business men. when I assure you that the former, in point of elegance,- durability and usefulness of improvements, and the extent to which these improvements are being carried, has no equal in the West ; while the latter, for their business tact, energy and public

spirit, merit, and doubtless have, prosperity

in their various vocations. Although I may

al question of License or no License, at the same election. The candidates for Councilmen hare not all announced themselves in the Journal. Thi3 should be done, as at this time there is no ther Daily paper here in which to make the announcement, and citizens should become acquainted with the names in a reliable manner. The fee is but an indifferent matter to us. but the notice itself may be of some importance to the candidates themselves. There is much excitement about License, and the vote on Monday will be full. We hope they will have a good time of it.

A Itlare' IVcst. The State SeDtinel has found a mare's nest. It says Webster's speech contains " most infamous libels against the Democratic party," and that it "should damn him to the lowest pit of political perdition I'' Really,

this will astonish honest Democrats alt over the country. They have been reading the epeech, and their organs have spoken of it as a bold, manly and patriotic effort. Yet taking its cue from the Ohio Statesman, one of the most rabid Democratic prints in the West, the Sentinel has very suddenly discovered a gun-powder plot concealed in Webster's epeech, intended to blow the Democratic party sky-high! We give the Chapmaus credit for not believing any 6uch thing and they only say so, we have no doubtto make a little home thunder to awaken subscribers from their political lethargy. The Sentinel in the same article, says. the present session of Congress passes in disgrace anything ever enacted in Mexico. As the Democrats have the ruling majority in Congress, we take this lo be a very fair confession from the leading Democratic paper in our State. No one will deny but that in some particulars the majority in the House have disgraced themselves.

It was proposed, however, to submit the same question, (viz: whether license be grant

ed to vend spirits at retail,) to the voters of

the city alone and abide by their decision. To this, the Mayor, and Councilmen Hevvson, Bell, Decker and Elliot agreed ; but Steele said nothing, and Baker said he would not agree to any such thing. He said if a majority should vote in favor of license he would not vote to grant licenses, but would withdraw from the Council and let the others grant them. Again through the management of a little clique a majority against license was secured by having temperance tickets printed on yellow paper, and placing spies about the polls to see who voted tickets of any other color. Notwithstanding this the license men on the Council submitted and no license was

granted las' year to vend spirits. After the last election a majority of the voters in the -Ith ward instructed Councilman

cerning your city which your citizens have

not already weighed, still it may be of no disadvantage to your good people to consider a few facts, of which, doubtless, they have often thought. I was somewhat gratified to-day whilst taking a view of your city, to note the evident determination on the part of your citizens, to vigorously carry forward such improvements as are highly necessary and politic. Many of your works, which, from their nature, I presume public, are not so extensive perhaps as the present necessities of your city

require ; and while you seem lar in advance of many of your sisters in the matter ot" plain and spacious side or foot walks, you are somewhat in the lurch so (ar as your streets are

concerned. The size and importance of;

Evansville certainly demand that your streets in sections almost impassable, should ai once undergo a paving. And 1 may continue my remediable objections by adding, that while you are accommodated with a number of elegant churches, school houses and other public buildings, you should not forget that your Court House, in size and appearance, is not at all of the superior class. Had I not have been otherwise informed by a friend, to whose kindness I am much indebted lor inteiesting information concerning the character and prospects of your city, I certainly should have, at once, mistook your Court House for the iniquitous habitation of a host ol lawyers; nor was my unfavorable

A most exciting passage between Foote and

Benton ensued

Mr. Benton as a friend of California gave

notice to those who desired her admission, that

they must now stand by her. Calif rnia was entitled to the consideration of the Senate, and her right was not to be postponed. Foote replied wilh warmth, indulging in a personal attack upon Benton, impugning-the motives of his action, and intimating that his new-born friendship for California was not lor the sake of her people, but because of the presence here of her Senator, whose admission to back him up and sustain him in the Senate he was looking for with most feverish anxiety. He also contended that the California question had no precedence by right. Benton. 1 believe that this is the American Senate. I believe by the laws of the Senate' and rules of decorum personalities and attacks upon motives are forbidden. The attacks which have been made upon my motives are false and cowardly. Foote. after some remarks, replied to the charge of cowardice, and said 1 feel bound to say, now, when the Senator dares to remove certain stains which cling to his escutcheon, of which I kn&w the history as well as any man in Christendom, allusions to which ought to cause his cheek tobe suffused with a deep blush of shame, or if the Senator remains in his present attitude without that special discredit with which he knows I em

A Hospital Wanted.

The death of strangers on the wharf boat, noticed in another place, forcibly calls our attention to the necessity for a hospital cf some nature at this place. Such an institution is demanded here by the size of the place, its connection with commercial interests, and in true charity. Almost daily sick persons arc placed on our wharf boats, who in most cases there die, merely from the want of ordinary comforts and attendance. It is a 6hame that in a city the size of this, such a state of things should continue to exist. Common charity, demands that some effort should be made to take care of the unfortunate strangers who are thrown sick and penniless in our midst. Those who- have money can here, just as well as at any other place, be properly taken care

of, but woe to the poor devil who in his wickedness hath no money. Let us then call the attention of citizens to this necessity. We have Fairs foF heathen children and Tea Parties for churches but nothing foe the sick and distressed, who are thrown among us, strangers in a strange land, and dying for want of a little attention. Thooe who were on the wharf boat yesterday morn- - ing after the arrival of the Alex Scott, can appreciate the necessity for some action in this matter. Close to one man just dead, lay

a 6econd in a dying condition. There was no one to attend to the dead or the dying. It was a sad spectacle, and should set brains and hearts at work to provide a remedy for such evils.

Steele and Baker, voted against l eer licenses. A man in the first ward asked for beer license and it was icfused. Afterwards he presented a petition signed by a majority of the voters in the ward, praying that a beer license be gr inted to him, and it was granted, but Councilmen Steele, Baker and Elliott voted against it, and the Mayor gave t e casting vote for the license as he did in every case where a beer license was granted. I make tins statement because I learn that it is said that the difference between me and my opponent is.that he will vote for oragainst license as a majority of the people may vote, while I will vote for license whuther a rnamajonty of the people desire it or not. Let our prist conduct be compared and then determine which is most likely to conform to the will of the majority.

For the Journal. I'roccrdiugs of the Uvansriiic Temperance Vttiou. The Union met pursuant to adjournment at the Methodist E. Church, on Thursday evening, March 2Sth. The President called the meeting lo order, which was opened by Prayer fiom Rev. It. Barrett. The Union was then addressed in a spirited and interesting manner, by the llev. Kich'd. Parrett, Rev. Mr. Sanders, Rev. Mr. Stcadntan, and C. Bakerand A. L. Roninson, Esqrs., whose remarks were well calculated

to cause all present to regard the monster, in

temperance, as the destruction ot all over j whom he reigns, and that the safety of this community demands that all should unite their efforts to drive him from among us. Rev. Mr. Goodwin then offered the following reso lutions which were unanimously adopted. Resolved, That so far as the efforts of the Temperance Union have been directed against the Licensing of tippling houses, it has been done under the conviction that the traffic in ardent spirits is fraught with much evil, and that the system of licensing, which has been tried from our organization as a

State, has failed to exercise the restraint which our fathers evidently designed, and also, that the system of licensing implicates us as citizens, in whatever crime and misery adhere to the traffic; and also, that it is a child of the Aristocracy of England, and calculated to foster in our midst a rivi!edged class, wholly at variance with the equality of our democratic Institutions, compelling the poor man to do violence to his sense of right as a man, or to violate the law which forbids the

traffic, when unlicensed, especially when the license is as exorbitant as the friends of the license system in this city, at present demand.

Our motto ia this is use all alike poor and rich. Resolved, That the thanks of this Union are due, and they are hereby tendered to the Editors of papers in this City, who have from time to time, published our Proceedings, and that they be requested to continue their favors. Resolved. That when we adjourn, we ad

journ to meet at the Rev. Mr. McCarer's

tirely unknown. The numerous dwellings, stores, ccc, in course of erection, and the extensive excavations now being made to prepare foundations for more, speak in unmistakable terms of your city's cafe and rapid increase. The merchants of Evansville have their merchandize well classed, and from the gen

eral bustle and activity among them, and from the fact of their keeping a heavy assortment of everything in possible demand by your country, I may reasonably judge they

share largely in your prosperity.

Your shipping interests and river business I look upon as being well managed a:iJ protected. The individuals Controlling that cepartir.ent of your business are, from report received by me elsewhere and my own observation, men well capacitated far the station in which they act in every possible manner efficient and enterprising. I have had frequent opportunities of perusing the Journal, and think the people of Evansville loose; nothing by having such a

journal to battle for and protect 1heir inter

ests. If your paper does not already receive it, it certainly deserves the liberal patronage of this section of Indiana, Respectfully yours, OBSERVER.

Gen. Shields and Henry Ci.ay. Gen. Shields, in a letter to the New York Clay club, expressing his regret at not being able to attend the Clay ball, on account of the state of his health and o'Hdal engagements, says t It would afford me sincere pleasure to be

able to uuite with you in paying a tribute of

merited respect to one ol the most distin fruished of living statesmen, whose transcen

dent talents have been employed this whole I

session in battling tor "the Ciuou his whole country and nothing bui his country."

It is time to stop such language here, in a place where a cudgel cannot be applied, to him. Vice President repeated call of order. Alter some further colloquy, Foote said he would stand by all he had said, and if Benton would proceed in the matter was ready to meet him.

Mr. Dickinson moved to lay the pending motion on the table, which was agreed to. Senate then resumed Mr.- Clay's rcsolu-tioi-s. Mr. Chase having the floor, spoke upon
