' " In the Legislature a proposition was made to deduct the personal indebtedness from the amount of property liablo to assessment, and it was opposed, on the ground "that credit m,, and like all other kinds of caP tal.it ought to be taxed."

And the same is seen in the transfers of other property in all the operations'of business. It is proper that all propertr within the State, should pay a tax to support of the government that protects it, be it owned where it may bo its indebtedness what it may but to make the indebtedness of . our citizens a source of revenue; to tax men fir what they owe is one of this most preposterous proposition that was ever propounded in a legislature. We have heard of fraudulent bankrupts "living i on what they owed," but for a State to raise its revenues or the debts of its citizens is a . - i now theory of public economics. , , . ... c .. -The basis of credit is moral character; its foundations are integrity, virtue, temperance, industry, frugality and capacity. Did the world ever hear of. a State making these the subject of taxation? are these proper subjects on which a State is to levy the burthens of her support? In days of yore, the virtues of its citizens were the object of the bounties of the State. Credit is the great rival of capital; founded upon character and moral worth, it is the only fortune and resource of the poor man, with which he can contend with wealth; it is the mighty leveler in the struggle for social dis tinction it is the great democratic element of trade and commerce; it is a moral power a moral capital, wh:ch though :it can be counted in dollars and cents, is not a tangible substance; and it is a strange democratic principle that would subject it to taxation and feed the State upon its hard earnings, and discourage that which ought to be the highest glory of a people. Onr t Legislature is preparing laws to allow capital to exact its ten per cent from the intellectual and productive capacities of; the people, and then proposes to tax the thing borrewed and the borrower for the same property. This is a new mode of promoting trade and industry in the State, and preserv ing the equality of classes. Henderson and Nashville Railroad. The Henderson Commercial will publish the Report of the Directors of thi3 Koad in its next issue, with the correspondence between the Company and W. Digsby Seymour, the London agent who has misapplied tha. bonds. It exposes the whole affair in relation to the detontion of the bonds of the II. & N. Hail road in England, showing quite plainly that there has been a great lack of business tact in the former President of the road. The bonds were assigned over to said Seymour, without the concurrence or approbation of the Board of Directors, which will render their payment by the Company null and void. The report also shows, that said Seymour, traded off some tf the bonds for a ship, or at least pawned them for it, and was unable afterward to redeem them. Seymour has repeatedly refused to give up the bonds which he holds, but in case they are never returned, the Company cannot, under the provisions of the charter, be made responsible for them. It is true that the difficulty which has arisen, will retard the progress of the road for awhile, but the work has now progressed too far ever to be abandoned, and the Directors will continue to push the work ' ahead as fast as the means of the Company will admit of. It is very much to be regretted that a work of such vast importance ßhould thus bo throfli back, and it is to be hoped, that all interested in it, will redouble their energies ind build the road, notwithstanding the difficulties that have arisen and may arise in the progress of the enterprise. fj7 A machine has been invented and is now in operation in Xcw York for grinding and polishing plate glass. It is a very simple and effective machine, and in making plate glass it is about as great an improvement as Woodworth's planing machine has been in planing boards. The whole value of plate glass imported into this country is near five million of dollars per annum. The machine ii said to be one pf the triumphs of American genius that will change the course of the business to which it 13 applied. OCapt. Leathers of the Vicksburg pack- . V. -trC iv.-t, J?

tho reasons for-belioving- tha recent election unjer Governor Wright's proclamation null, there are other and stronger reasons for believing the present Governor was ineligible to his present position. The Lafayette. Journal presents a very conclusive argument against

' iWillard's right to - exercise the functions of

Governor: By Art. V. Sec. 24 of the Constitution, it is expressly provided that ''NeiJier the Governor nor Lieut. Governor shall le eligible to any other office during the term of office for which he chsiTJ Jyij'i h0n vierteil ,fc th(j -n cumjjeilj Gf either of those offices, could not , , . , tn niw nPf. v.t(,, Antintr his official term- Ue cannot make hirnself degible eTen by s;gnat;on for the prohibi tion is "for the term for which he shall have m Vea . f fm, n Jan. uary 12th, 18o7, and continued to perform the duties of Lieutenant Governor up to the last . , date. How could he be elected in Octobei . , . 1856. to the office of Governor, without a Pl n ' most palpable violation of State Constitution It is a question of most vital conseqnences to , Al. , . . ... . the people of the State, whether we have any , tu -vr constitutional government whatever.

If the powers of government have returned to the people, the only remedy is a new Constitution and a new organization. Whohave entaiIedthe.se serious evils and difficulties upon the State. They began in the contests of the rival party factions; and the promoters of these factious eontests to Eubserve their personal and selfish ambition, are the same men, who are now employed in he work of disorganization at the Capital; who are again ready to violate the most positive requisition of the Constitution, upset the govornment, and throw, the whole State into an archy and coiifusion-dethrown the law-abrogate all legal 'security to 'the' citizens, and bring on a revolution to atttain the objects of the unhallowed, and selfish ambition. , (tOjr Several of our leading merchants no tified their customers tö-day that they will no longer receive the Indiana, Illinois or Wis consin stock money, and tho disposition man ifested is to drive it out of circulation, as it Li looked upon as an intolerable nuisance. '.'- ' VinctnnaU- Commei-aaL Let the Indiana merchants come to Evansville, or go to New Albany, or some city within their own State to purchase their goods, where : the currency of the State is known and appreciated. - It is folly to contribute our substance to build up the commercial emporium of another Stite; to pay large tribute t her,' and at the same time endure imposition, injury and insult from those who have been made rich by the trade of our State. Keep our trade at home and we will soon have a market of supply of. our own as good as' Cincinnati. Trade op Evastsvtlle. Messrs. George Foster, & Co., have published a neat circular a succinct but compact review of the trade of our enterprising little sister down the river, Evansville is represented as having never been in a more prosperous condition than during the year 1856. The annual exports exceeded in value raoro than nine and a half million dollars, although the state of the river and canal both was very unfavorable. The benefits of railroad communication have been rendered apparent by the business brought to that city by tho only line in operation. From this State Evansville receives 7,500 hogheads of tobacco which ought to have been brought to Louisville. Manufactures prosper from the fact that fuel is abnndant and cheap the current rttes have been from $1 75 to S2 for wood and from six to eight cents per bushel for coal. There are tn operation two founderies and two others in construction; six flouring mills; one furniture factor', one pa per mill; and eight sawing and planing mills. there are indeed tew places in tne West exhibiting moro healthy signs of progress than Evansville. That city seems destined to be the commercial emporium of Inuiana, although New Albany will energeticaly dispute the palm. Lou. Jour. CttT The success of Hughes' printing and writing telegraph is deemed as settled. By it, messages are received and sent at the same time over one line, and are distinctly written or printed at each end. In an experiment made in New York last week, two machines were placed side by side, with an operator at each, who sent message after message to each other, over the same wire simultaneously, without the least jostling, and without the slightest error either of word or letter. The machines have been subjected to the severest tests on a line extending from New York to Bangor, Maine, and thence back to 'Boston, (making a circuit of about eight hundred miles) and every trial has shown tha most satisfactory results the instruments working as perfectly through eight hundred miles of wire a3 in a circuit of one or two hundred miles, and with a strength of current so slight as to have not the least perceptible effect upon the magnets used by the Morse and House systems. " Tho machine will work in all weathers unaffected by storms.

These fear3 were relieved by a letter , e . 1.1T 'II jom.him.ta his , wife, dated Lawrencevillei Illinois, but the epistle was indited in Such strange terms as to lead his friends to think ' he is laboring under an aberration of mind. They have gone in pursuit of him. He is a gentleman who has sustained a high credit with our merchants, and has abundant means to pay his debts, and there is no known reason for his singular departure, unless he has been induced by some . temporary lunacy to leave his home. The citizens of Pike county were astonish ed one day last week, to discover that their Sheriff, Mr. Wright, had sent his resignation to the Governor, and taken his departure on a route that left no track behind him. There are various rumors respecting the reasons for this sudden and unannounced movement. Mr. Cameron. A -Washington correspondent gives the following account of the personal appearance of the new Senator from Pennsylvania: Hon. Simeon Cameron, the newly elected Senator from Pennsylvania, arrived in this city last evening, and this morning appeared in the House, where ho was overwhelmed with congratulations from the Republicans, and treated with chilling coldness by his old Democratic friends, who regard his election as a very great calamity to Mr. Buchanan's administration. Personalty, Mr. Cameron has not a very prepossessing appearance, being rather tall, thin, and of a decidedly scur expression of countenance. He is much more of a tiolitician than a statesman. . fjT" The Whepling Argus says that the freight Agent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, who has been on a business tour West reports that the freight now waiting for shipment East, via the Baltimore and Ohio road is perfectly incredible.

Maitland James, a fraudulent banker at Chicago.has been convicted of issuing bills of tho American Exchange Bank of Alexandria, D. C, there being no such bank in existence, the Court sentenced him to ten years confinement in the penitentiary. fjr- In the County of Derbyshire, England, on the 22d of December, two of the servants of a farmer, named Peicival and Hudson, regaled an agricultural laborer only fifteen years of age, who had come in the evening for his milk, with some ghost stories until he was thoroughly frightened. After he left, one of them clothed himself in a table cloth ar.d met the young man in a field. He arrived .tt his home in a terrified state, and although he went to work the next day, was obliged to be put to bed, where he was seized with violent vomiting and died raving wildly. The medical men were of opinion that he died from the effect of the shock to the nervous system. Pritchard, who put on the table cloth, has been arrested on a charge of "manslaughter. Japan. It appears that our expensive efforts to open a trade with Japan are not likely to result in any great benefits. The Japanese refuse to permit any of our c'tizens to go beyond the cities to whose harbors our ships are allowed to enter. They refrain from all trade and restrict their intercourse to furnishing our ships with necessaries for . which they take only gold and silver.
