DAILY JOURNAL. A. H. SANDERS, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

CITY OP EVANSVILLE: MONDAY ITlOItJI I3IO NOVEMBER, 25. tC The Carrier on the route below Main Street was sick on Saturday, and thus was unable to carry his papers. The Carrier who look his place doubtless missed a few subscribers such can be supplied with papers by application at this office. The Stale Convention. As some few Democrats may think, from the fact that the Republican paper generally considered Democratic, in opposing the objects of the late Convention held ot Evansville, that opposition to appropriations from government for assistance in public improvements, the improving of navigation in our riven, ccc, is a cardinal principle of Democracy, we refer them to the letters published and being published from leading Democrats in the West, showing such is n.u the case. On Thursday we published a letter from Thos. II. Benton, who take the West over, is probably the most prominent and orthodox Dem ocrat in it, so far as the leading principles of Democracy are concerned. It is unnecessary for us to say, that his letter proved him what lie has long been known, a friend of appropriations for Western improvements a supporter of the following Preamble to the rt'cclutions aJopted calling the meeting at Evansville, a printed copy of which proceedings were tent to every invited guest. We introduce said Preamble, so that it may be seen what the objects of this Convention were: WnEBEA8. In the opinion of this meeting, the time has arrived fvhen the increasing population, wealth and power of the Valley of the Mississippi, demand the action of Congress, in developing our resources, aiding our improvements, und bringing into action and use cur immense mineral wraith, both coal and iron abounding in our valley ; improving our rivers, and furnishing us vvitti those means ot transhipment fur our produce, which owing to the neglect of the necessary appropriations by Congress, we are prevented from shipping for many months in the year increasing our mail facilities, removing obstructions, and rendering the "Inlaud Seas" of our valley, navigable at all seasons ; thereby increasing still further our population and wealth ; and, Whereas, We believe that it is the duty of Congress to make such appropriations the same are Constitutional and proper, due us as a portion of the Confederacy, heretofore overlooked nnd neglected, while other portions of the Union, especially "the Seaboard," have received such sums of money for purposes similar in all respect to those demanded by us; nnd, Whereas, We believe all that is wanting is a proper representation of our claims to the National Legislature, by the Suites bordering on the dt.i and MiUsippi, and a united action on their part, &c, &c. On Friday, we published a letter from Gov. Wright, the Governor of Indi.irn nt thi tlmp. and whom we suppose will be taken as Democratic authority, supporting the Convention, and regretting he could not be present. Had lie come, he would have met with a welcome and hospitality worthy ef the Governor of a great State, and would beyond doubt in the Convention have expressed himselias warmly in favor of its objects as did our own Democratic Representative, Mr. Albeitson. We only regret circumstances would not admit of his being with us, to have suppottcd heart and tongue, the action of a body of men, assembled without distinction of party, to promote the interests ol the West. On Saturday wc published letters from the Hon. David T. Disney, of Ohio, and Ex-Gov. Whitcomb, of IuJiana. They are Democrats both, and the letters ol both warmly support the objects of the Convention. Mr. Disney is a member of Congress from the District in which Cincinnati is situated, and is an ac knowledged and talented leader of Democracy in Ohio. Mr. Whitcomb is the late Governor of Indian, and his name is familiar to the firexiJe of every Democrat in the State, or it should be. They appear with the Hon. Thos II. Denton, to differ decidedly with the Republican of this city, as to what is Democratic doctrine. It is not of course to be presumed that they know so much about j the principles of their part', as the two nice young men of that paper, yet it is to be hoped their opinions will be ol some weight wilh Democracy, especially as the senior publisher of the Republican has heretofore been very Whigish in his princi pies. He was, very strange to say, a member of the Committee of arnngements for this very Convention, and by his own con sent! To-day, we publish letters from Hon. Jesse D. Bright and Hon. Linn Boyd. This time we find a leader of Democracy in Indiana and one in Kentucky, speaking in support o the objects of the Convention. Will auy one Question their Democracy? Yet we find s them opposing the opinions ol the Republi can! Certainly we would not take thtir opinions in preference to the gentlemen o that paper as to what is Democratic doctrine but we wish our readers to understand, nnd over their own signatures, that united with CoL Benton, Ex-Governor Whitcomb, Hon D. T. Disney, Gov. Wright, and other, they should be allowed to have some weight with Democracy, and that the President of the Convention himself was a Democrat. Wilh this article we row close our remarks upon the Convention, unless something new should spring up. Wherever iu the VVeat the object of the Convention shall be known, .they will meet wilh a cordial support from the people, without reference to pari-

JOIWEXTICHI LETTERS.

Trico County, Kt.. ) Nov. 10ih, 1850.$ Gentlemen: Your letter inviting me to attend a Convention, at Evansville, the 19th inst., to consider generally the great interests of the " West, " in connection with ths action proper for Congress to take in relation thereto, is just received. I should be pleased tobe present on an occasion so interesting; but my engagements are so multifarious and pressing, that I doubt if it will be possible. Willi a bare hope that I may be with you, I am, gentlemen, With great respect. Your ob t servant, LINN BOYD. Messrs. J no. Law, and others. La porte, Nov. 10th, 1S50. Dear Sirs: I have barely time before leaving this place this morning, to thank you for the invitation given me to attend a public meeting, at Evansville, on the 19th inst., and to express my deep regret, that I rannot accept it. Had I received your note at an ear lier date, I should have postponed my tfisit to this part of the State, until afier the 19th, and made one among the number of your in vited guests. Concurring in the general ob jects of the meeting proposed, and holding myself at all times ready, ns a legislator or citizen, to aid in promoting the objects referred to in your letter, and thanking you for your kind invitation, (that I most deeply regret, force of circumstances compel me to decline accepting), I remain your friend, And fellow-citizen, J. D. BRIGHT. To J. to.' Law, Esq., and others, Commit tee. The Convention. On the morning of the 18th, the sections of the Bill of Rights, already ordered to be engrossed came up on the question of their passage. A motion was made to re-commit with instructions to so amend the section rel ative to taking private property for public uses, that the damages to be assessed should be tendered ns the Legislature may hereafter direct, instead of saying " to the o.vner" hs n the words of the section. The argument being, that the owner of land through which a Railroad route may run, might live in Eu rope, or might not be known at all, &c. The motion was rejected by 12 majority, and after several other unsuccessful motions the section passed under the operation of the previous question, by 81 to2G. The negro immigration was then taken up and debated. The pending proposition is a motion to refer the section and utnendmcnts to a select committee of one from each Con gressional District to report on the best plan of separating the white and black races, and to report all provisions on that subject in one article, to be separately submitted to the peole. The debate has been quite animated. Some man appears to have the privilege of wn:ingfor its column, (the Kepunlican) to whom every good citizen isobnoxiotn. I Journal. Unless Sanders cannot employ his time more profitably than promulgating such lies ns the above, we would suggest to him to make out those accounts wherewith to satis iy the claims of his endorsers. That, at east, would be honorable. Republican. If the occasion were frequent, we should rarely notice such a paragraph ns the above. As for the paragraph which the Republican quotes being n lie, it is strictly true. We know the man to whom we alluded, and we know that he is only reciprocating affection, in being opposed to every good citzen. Cer tainly no man is regarded wilh greater con tempt in this community. If the Republican will explain to us where wc are legally in debted a dollar to any man wc tiro not ready to pay, or upon what note any man has gone our endorser, and such note remains unpaid, we shall be very happy to "Icrk over" on demand. l3"Thc Republican denies having lost a subscriber by its late course in opposition to the interests of Evansville. If Mr. Clark will call upon u?, and promise not to publish the names, or in any manner work against I he pecuniary interests of the persons through his paper, we will cheerfully furnish him the names of a dozen persons who stopped taking his paper last week on account of his diraccful action. H3"Tho lady who furnished us with a first rate, A. No. 1, Mince pie, List Friday evening, will accept our best thanks. Such mince pies are not olten met with, we are sorry to say, but to find them is to at once endorse their very quick disappearance.

BIEICIOIXIAIi

TO tue Senate, and Representative of the United states. (CONTINUED.) And vet this is but a single point in the Vpllev. We presume that Pittsburgh. Lou isville, and St. Louis, would f how an equal, if not greater increase and the consequence 18. lustead ol paying duties as we lormeriy did at ports on the Atlantic, New York or New Orleans, our own commercial towns, our ports of entry end delivery, the du ties are paid iiere and the result is now, a direct importation of foreign merchandize to oil the principal towns on the Ohio and Missippi rivers. These importations keep pace with our increase ol population and but u few years will elapse before the Customs here will compare favorably wilh many cities on the seaboard. In foimer years the foreign good imported had their duties paid at the cities on the seaboard where they were landed ; they were then carried across the mountains, or up the Mississippi and Ohio, to their several destina tions in tiie West. But the whole aspect ol commerce in the West is now in a great de gree changed bv the change of locomotion ; and it has been very justly and truly stated, "ine mercnanisoi iuempms, oi. loui, ijouisville, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh, will be as much the merchants of America, as the merchants of New York, Philadelphia, cr Balti more." The growth ol our cities, and the immense distiibution of foreign goods here note, prove this fact conclusively : while every year the importation of foreign goods to the West directly is increasing, the table above shews what it has been to a single city, nnd this is but one among the great number tlv.t are to spring up in our Valley. The f " (and the statistical table will prove il lust ten years,) that the commerce : . West has grown faster than us populate., great as that is. Among the avenues which lead this population and this trade to the West und SouthWest, the principal ones are the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Extending with their tributaries (many of which ure us navigable most reasons of the year as the streams mto which they empty) a distance of twenty thousand miles, running through a region unsurpassed in the world lor its agricultural products and mineral resources running from north to south through eighteen degrees of latitude, and having on their margin and along their borders, thirteen States of ihe Confederacy, embracing a population five limes a large ns the good old thirteen" at the firbt orani saiion of our Government. What has Congress done for their improvement ? Nothing absolutely nothing. And these great arteries these great Inland Seas." which iaft on their surface annually, millions of human bemga, and convey on their waters an inland commerce far exceeding that carried ucros the Ocean by the iv hole domestic and foreign marine, are now, so far as navigation is concerned so far us improvement is concerned, but little, if any, belter than when the firt broad horn" lloated down the Ohio and .Mississippi rivers filly years ago, and debited her cargo of flour und whifkey. after a two months voyage, iu ihe Spanish j)orl of New Orleans. The action of Congress towards the West has been heretotore ol the most anomalous character, occasionally holding out the promise of some great bent-fit, of uuno act to be done, which should promote in some degree Western interest. They have so contrived it that only some initiatory tep should be taktywid then the matter h.ts slumbered or s) worded ihe act conferring the bom-fit that it h is in effect been rendered entirely nugatory. More than one example of this kind of national legislation might be given. Some seven years since un appropriation was made by Congress to locate an armory on the Western waters. What has been uone since in the premises ? Immediately ufier the npproprial on was made during President Tyler's administration, a corps of .Engineers was detailed, and the Surgeon General of the United States Army attached to it, with a view, probably, of determining the exact qu t::tity of Malaria there was ut any one given point on the Onio river. They m ule the reconnoisance were some four months engaged iiiit,presonted their account and report, the first was paid, and the lat now livs in the Pigeon hole of the War Department, where it probably will lay until some Cerberus of the Treasury calls lor the report and account, with a view of showing the immense extravagance of the Government in their expenditures for Western improvements. For the Armory itselt.nut the first dollar has been expended, nor he firct stone laid. Again. Congress at its last session, not we believe very uihuigly sanctioned by their act, the truly national policy, of procu ring the hemp nocessiry loi the Iavy, Irom the American producer; thus far, something was gained ; but here the act stupi. It is well known that one ol the great sMples of the West, U hemp, 'ihe two States ol Kentucky and Mis-ouri probably raise more hemp than all the other States of ihe Union. To render the policy valuable to the producer, nnd etlcctive to the Government, the hemp should not only be purchased nut inspected and manut.iciured near the place of production. uBy so doing, (and there is t o good reason why il should not be done.) the hazard and cost of transportation would bo 6.ived to the grower, while t.ie Government itself would save the cost ol transportation bet wceu the uiauulacturd article and the bulky raw material." Instead of shipping the raw m iterial aroui.l to the Navy yards ol Boston, New Yi k Philadelphia, and INorloik. why i;ol t,-. Aara Hope Works, at points convene. : the hemp region, say at Louisville . Loui, where the article could ut ull t;:u -easily produced, nnd the manuftcturod at ti de could be safely shipped. No, the raw material, one ol the most bulky in commerce, is shipped down the Mississippi, carried along our whole extensive seaboard, to the port of Boston ; and the manufactured cordage, reshipped, and carried up the Mississippi, to supply the Navy yard at Memphis. We have merely attempted to show the narrow policy of Congress iu its legislation as regards the West, by the instances enumerated. We might, if necess ity, mention others not less injurious in their consequences to our growth and prosperity, if it were necessary. Thoe we have named, we think, are suliicient to show that Western interests arc very little cared for in oar National Legislature. The next grievance to which we w ould call the attention of Congress, is the entire want of Postal arrangements in the West, fitted to furnish our citizens with tl ose mail facilities demanded by our business and imputation. It would appear from the action heretofore hud on tho subject, either that Congress or the Postumster General were entirely ignoraul that more than que third of the population of the United States, residing in bic VulU-y of the Mississippi, end paying

more than one-third of the whole revenue, had any need whatever, of letters or papers, that they ever wrote the firt or read the last ; or that in any way, they were connected with other sections ot the Union, from which they would be glad occasionally to hear. That our merchants and men of business, interested in an internal commerce of more than two hundred millions of dollars, extending along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, more than two thousand miles, and their tributaries much farther, should be left to the casual chance of a way passenger on a teamboat, or the more uncertain one, of a flatboat, to forward their business letters in adcanee of the mail, to their correspondents flor? those great streams, would hardly be credited. Yet lor the want ot a more direct and certain conveyance, thisis frequently the case; and we venture to say, that for want ol more direct mail facilities one-third at least, of the correspondence ol our business nun and oth ers, is carried out of the mails, oil the Western waters that postage enough is lost to the Government, from forwarding letters otherwise than by mail, than would pay all the expenses of a daily river mail, touching at every town from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. Yet notwithstanding our constant application to Congress our rt iterated complaints, for years, to the Post OtKce Department, who would believe that of the large sum of $2,540,000 asked lor and appropriated by Congress, for the transportation of the mails within the United Slates, less than $50,000 is applied for the trun-misioii of the mails by the river, from Pittsburgh to New Orleans, that I In re is no rirer mail from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati, although there is a daily line of steam packets running ull the year. But ntriweekty mail is carried be ; . vii Louisville and St. Louis, und u similar tt ween Louisville and New Orleans. .p the Kentucky und Green rivets, with . ; ily packets running ull the year to . ...Sun and Bowling Green, no mail is ear

ned none on tiie Teniii'Ksee or the Cumberland, making at least l.b'JO miles of inland navigation in the most populous portions of the Vest, unsupplied wilh a river mail, and which might be supplied ut comparatively a small expense, three times a week, by steamboats running on the waters. That the Post OihVe Department absolutely refuses to allow more than the pitiful sum ol sixty-fee dollars a t unconditionally, for carrying the large mail from Louisville to New Orleans, when, for the moaerute sunt of one hundred dollar a trip, unconditionally, the best contractors iu me West, on the best and fa test boat that i avigate the Western waters, olferto carry it daily ami regularly, suppling with mail matter, all the year, the whole of southern Kentucky. Indiana Illinois, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas, Mii-sissippi, Louisiana, and Texas, eight Slates of the Confederacy, und fully four million of inhabitants. Less than fifty thousand dollars applied to this great object ! while Congress lavish upwards oi eleven hundred thousand dollars to tit ut expensive steamers, enriching tteyond all calculations, a lew speculators, to carry a mail to two oits on the coast, Charleiou and New Orleans, ther-ce to Chagres, and from Panama to San Francisco and Oregon. The adventurers to the first, und the 1 ml una of the latter, receiving mail facilities to an amount exceeding one viillion of dollars, while the whole imputation and business of the Valley of the Mississippi, by steam com munication, gets Ies than hiiy thousand. But this is not all. For carrying the mail on steam -rs to Southampton and Bremen, an additional sum of $78300 is annually paid by the ivernment ; and the argument used lor this tmuiense outlay, as in the case of those carrying the mail to the Pacific, is. that that they are tobe turned over to the United States " in case of tear" an event not very likely, ns we trust, soon to take place, ut least during Ihe life of the steamers, unless, o some predict, it should happen among ourselves, in which case the contest for their possession would be between other parties ; the West taking no pirlin the in itter except as pacificator. Ag:iiu, it was only ut the last tu-ssioo of Congress that the modest sum of Sl,2Jl:(:00 was asked ..for a mail line to Africa, with the avowed purpose of carrying all the free negroes out of the country, at $50 per head. The chairman of the Committee who introduced the bill (ihe Naval Committee) was a distinguished geiillcman from the West from the Valley seil. We feel no disposition to criticise these impropriations for foreign maiUervice; they may be all right ; but may we not ask tiie honorable chairman, und especially the members of Congress from the West, whether onu-lentli or one-twelfth ol these sums granted and asked for, lor an object exclusively domestic and national, for increase of ni.nl facilities on the Western waters when they ure so much needed, would be at all extravagant 7 Whether, in fine, such an appropriation would not be just nnd meri torious under, all the circumstances? So far from 6uch an appropriation being un additional tax upon the Post Olfi -e Department we firmly believe it would be the very best economy, insomuch as we are satisfied with additional facilities thus giver for the transportation of the mails on the Western waters, I he revenue of I he Depart men I would be greatly increased, & that titeiacreased transmission of letters by mail along these waters would double the itmouiit expended in a single year. So that viewing the question ns one of policy and not of right, the Government would be tfie gainer iu a pecuniary point of view by granting us the facilities asked for. Can oui friends in Congress then Com the Xrih and the South be so blind us not to see il ibis slate of things cannot be endured it longer that unless something is done .tience of our people will lie exhausted, ... the promises s long held out are not iuitiiied that while we rimitose fullv onethird of the whola population of the Union, and pay fully one-third of its taxes bear one-third of its burdens that thee should be some reciprocity, some spirit of equality in the distribution of the public money. Have we not suffered enough ? Have we not borne it patiently ? Year after year we have been knocking at the door of Congress, asking no favors but simply demanding dur right. How have we been met 1 Year uller year by a refusal an absolute denial and when our portion of the public patrimony has been doled out to us. has it not been with a sparing hand like the gilt of a miserly parent to an importunate child? An I how his the wet'acted towards her sister Slates ? Not a fortification that bristles along our coast not a frigate that navigates the ocean not a light-house that points the path of safety to our mariners on the seaboard not a survey of our harbors has been made, or a custom house built but what the money which provided for the one, and built the other, has been furnUl ed by means of Western votes. But how is it in regard to Western appropriations ? appropriations to remove the snags, and saud oars, and b-

structions of the Ohio and Mississippi riversobstructions which in a single season produce more loss than all the money ever expended by the Government on these rivers would pay for obstructions which this very year have caused a loss )o the West greater than the whole amount ol roo'iey expended by the Government in keeping up its army or its navy. Why not a dollar can be got and the whole commerce of the West, from Pittsburgh and St. Louis .to the Gulph, runs through n gauntlet of dangers and difficulties, which i.o human prudence can shun, no human kill or sagacity escape j all ol which might be avoided in a single year, if Congress would but expend a tithe of the money annually squandered elsewhere, without any practical purpose or useful result.
