The Committee appointed by the Evansville Lyceum, toenquire into' the subject of the County Library Fund of Vanderburgh County, will make their report to the Lyceum at the Court House ia Evansville, on Saturday Evening, Feb. 15th 1845. This is a subject in which every citizen of the county is deeply interested, " and ' all are therefore 'respectfully invited to attend. JOHN INGLE, Jr., Ch'm. A CARD. In retiring from the position occupied by znc for these last few years, perhaps modes ty should prevent any expression of my feelings. Such,1 however is the almost univereat bust orsympathy! that, I could do no less, than thus publicly to tender my most grate ful acknowledgements to the citizens of Vanderburgh for their kindness and partial! ty. It is a fact that safely challenges con traduction, that m my official intercourse! have known no political party nor religious sect, but have extended to all the like cour tesy. It is also an inexpressible consolation . to know, that, I 'have not been removed, by the voice of our own County, as the signa tures of four fifths of all its voters amply testify. I can therefore safely appeal to my fel low citizens, to sustain me in whatever con dition I may be placed; as my unshaken de 'termination is not only to spend the residue of my days among you, but also to discharge ; 'all incumbant duty, upon the basis of immu table truth. " ' p. CHUTE, late P.

Polk, from Duck River, passed this placo on Sunday night last on board the Steamer China, on his way to Washington. ' The great man was asleep wile the boat lay at our wharf, and the captain refusing to have him waked, our locofoco friends were unable to get a glimpse of bim. This was a sore disappointment'to many of them, who dressed in their best, had been watching the, river all day, and had hired our Whig cannon to fire a salute on his arrival. STATUE TO HENRY CLAY. The Ladies of Virginia are going on with great zeal to collect means to erect a handsome statue to IIexhy Cut in the city of Richmond. They have organized by ap pointing the President, Vice President, and Collectors throughout the State, and we understand that there is no doubt they will soon send on to Rome for an artist to execute the design. . Cvhbeklakd Road. The bill appropriating $400,000 for the continuation of the Cumberland Road, viz: $150,000 each, for Indiana and Illinois, and $100,000 forOhio, passed the U. S. Senate oa the 20th ult., by a vote of 25 to 14. CCSBESFOIvDENCE OF THE WABASH COURIER. Letters from the Hon. A. S. White: Senate Chamber, ) Washiisgton, Jan. 20, 1845. Dear Sib: The bill appropriating $100.C0O to the continuation of the Cumberland Road in tho States ofVOhio, Indiana and MiBtrs, was engrossed in the Senate to-day, and wili probably pass that body to-morrow. Both this, and the Wabash & Erie Canal bill failed for the want of consideration in the House at the last session. ' It is to be hoped they -wul share a better fate the present.' ' But while we are snatching at distant Tex ' as we are famishing at home. - Yours, &c. - 1 ALB. S. WHITE. Senate Chamber, ) - Washington, Jan. 22, 1845. Szst.Tbe Cumberland Road bill (appro priating $400,000) this day passed the Sen ate ayes 25, noes 14; and was sent to the Honse for concurrence. Thus have been committed during the present, as at the last f ession, to the Democratic branch, two meas ures of import to Indiana the other of rbich you will understand to be the Wabash Erie Canal bill. r" Are our hopes destined to be twice defeated? Yours, 6zc. ALB. S. WHITE.

OUR CANAL. We had strong hopes in the early part of the session of Congress that the Bill granting lands for the , completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal would pass this year; in fact, the promptness with which it passed the Senate, the favorable report of the House committee, and the action in that body on it, led us all to believe that its success was certain, and it is much to be regretted that the consumption of time by the House'of Representatives in the discus-! sion ' of the Texe3 question, has pre vented attention from being given to this and other important matters. " All the business of real importance, has been, by this question, crowded into a few remaining weeks of the session, and it is difficult to say what measures will be perfected. .Without doubt a great many bills will die upon the table they" cannot all be reached and we have fears now that the Canal Bill will be among the num

ber that'are thus disposed of. 03" The Locofoco paper printed at Paoli, is out for a district convention to be held at Boonville sometime in April next for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress. The Paoli paper thinks such a course is ne cessary to "secure harmony and anion'' among the party in this district. What's the matter now, among the faith fill J Is Robert Dale to be set aside? or is he to be shoved a little higher up the ladder? The Slatesman would seem to favor such a view of the matter, but we can tell them that the elec tion of U. S. Senator was not postponed by the locos of our legislature for Mr. Owenrs benefit. Smarter men than he ' had the mangemcnt of the wires when that disgrace ful act was consummated. There is no 'seat reserved for him it the other' end of the Cap itol,? let him try when he will. ' . (T SAFE. With feelings of deep and heart-felt satisfaction we aro able to announce to our numerous friends at home and abroad, our readers generally, and our corps of As sistants, Reporters, &c. &c. &c, in panic ular,that the very able, talented, high-mind edrtall and lofty Editor of that beautiful and correct map of our town, the "Evansville Courier? has, very magnanimously, conde scended not to "feel resentment" (!!)on "ac count of the verj contemptible and unprovoked attack" which was never made by us on him or his truly delectable sheet; and that he has graceously permitted us to pass VA time. Let every one, then rejoice Editor, Assistants, Reporters, &c die. &.c and hereafter . "When his dread voice attends the wild winds lay. and stand out of it OCT The Statesman is filling its columns with cmplimentary notices from locfoco pa persof Mr. Owen's speech upon annexation a copy, by the bye, of his Oregon speech delivered last session does that . pape notice any effort of the gentleman that is likely to benefit his constituents. What is he doing for the Caual, for the Cumberland Road, for the Wabash or for the improvement of the other Western Waters? " ' THOMAS W. DORR. The Legislature of the State of Rhode Is land, on Friday week, passed an act for the liberation from confinement of Thomas W Dorr, on condition that he should take the oath ot allegiance to the state before its Supreme Court. The vote on the passage of this law was, in the House of Representa tives, yeas 43, nays 13 in the Senate yeas 23, nays 3. What is most remarkable, con sidering all that has been said on the subject of the imprisonment of this individual, is that every Dorrite but two in the House and three in the Senate voted against his release on the conditions stipulated, although, as members of the Legislature, each of those professed friends of Dorr has taken the very same oath which he is now required to lake, and had previously voted for extending parden toother indicted persons on precisely the same condition! MR. ADAMS, AND OREGON. Mb. Adams said in his speech on Friday, that if we have a good title to Oregon, it is by the Florida Treaty, ceeding the claims of Spain, and this article he claims, as bis own, Mr. Adams said: 'Sir. said Mr. A., I claim the article in the Florida Treaty, in reference to Oregon, as my own.' It was made at my suggestion. I might have gone to my grave without this fact having been -made known unless this debate bad arisen. Nor' should I have mentioned it' now but for the in vidious 'and unkind charges against Massachusetts. ' 'i claim the honor not for myself but tor my State, and I say now to all those who insist upon our undisputed title to Oregon, that if we obtain this territorry, it will be because of the agreement under this article of the Spanish title. The other prominent agreement by which our right is maintained, is the discovery of the Columbia river by a citizen of Massachusetts. ! OYSTERS. Five barrels fresh BayouJacques 'Oysters large and fat, just received at the "Finish." '' '

r (ftrTaoaus W. Doeb refuses to accept of his proffered liberation on the terms proposed by the Legislature. The objectionable condition is the taking the oath of allegiance." His father Sullivan Dorr, has petitioned the General Assembly for permis-

sion to occasionally visit ins son in prison, stating it as his belief that his imprisonment will only terminate with his life. If he will not take the oath, let him rot. QT We are happy to learn that the artices on "our Town, its Prospects, . etc.," by our contemporary of the Courier, have "excited considerable interest abroad1' "been perused with surprise and pleasure,"- and impressed every ono with the certainty of our ultimate importance. On a late trip to Louisville, the editor assures us, he found "several of the most intelligent merchants of the west" who "had no idea" previous to reading the articles alluded to "oft the amount of business done in our Town," and every one of whom expressed the opinion that "Evansville is bound to become a point of great importance.1 We are rejoiced to find that we are of so much consequence, and we agree with the Courier "that few things could have a more certain teudency to raise us" still higher and to "what we hope to be" than an "accurate and extended knowledge of what we are.", In exertions for the improvement of our place and hopes for the future, we are behind none of our citizens not even the editor ot the Uouner and that we may not be thought laggard, we rejoice to be able to state an improve ment overlooked, by the Courier which cannot fail to add importance to us abroad and incite emulation at home. We mean the erection of the Stable on the lot of Dan. Miller, Esq., immediately in the rear of the large ware-house of W. H. Stock well. The Esquire is entitled to the lasting gratitude of our citizens for this improvement. Courier will please copy. We very innocently gave offence, to our interesting contemporary of the Courier last week, by proclaiming him "the tallest kind of a Whig orator, during the last Pres idential campaign," and he warns us to be have better in future, or . Well, we are very sorry for having said so, and hasten to take it back every word of it. We have no disposition to measure quills with him none in the world. He is much too smart for us; j and, besides, has so maay admirers among "themostintclligent merchants of the West," that we are confident we should stand no chance with him in his own or their esitmation. We cannot but regret, hqweverthatluvfind necessary to resort as a last expedient to attract the notice of the public to abusa of us. It speaks rather badly tor the taste of our citizens; for certainly, one possessing the talent that he ha; shown us is inherent in him, could have succeeded without the help of our pen or boot. We hope he has adopted the course without due consideration, and upon "sober second thought" will abandon it. LOCOFOCOISM IN MISSOURI. Missouri set herself up in opposition to the act of Congress forelecling members of that body, in each State, in single districts of contiguous territory. She elected by gener al ticket, and the force of party in the House of Representatives was found stronger than the law; and the members elected in viola tion of law, in Missouri and other States, were admitted to their seats! Now the Locofocos in Missouri have resolved to district the State, and their organ, the Jefferson In quirer, thus speaks of their plan: "We hope this question may be soon settled, and the State so districted as to give us four out of the foe members to Congress certain, and we are much mistaken it we cannot secure to the democratic party the whole number." This infamous declaration is proclaimed in open day, without a blush! The parties in Missouri stand about thus Locofocos 41,000, Whigs 31,000, yet the State is to be so districted as to secure to the Locofocos four out of the Jive members, if not all! Tns Illinois Canal Loan Negotiated. The New York Journal of Commerce, says We take great pleasure in announcing the success of Col. Oakley and David Leavitt, ftsq., in procuring subscriptions to the Uli I I r 1 1 t fni . nois cauai loan 10 oe nneu up. 1 ins in our opinion, secures not only the completion of the canal, but the redemption of the Slate from an overwhelming debt and its restoration to credit and prosperity. There cannot exist a doubt that the legislature will appropriate some portion of the resources of the State, to be applied in July, 1843, towards tho liquidation in part of the interest then accrued on her debt, aud thus render abso lute, the subscriptions made by the terms of the contract of loan conditional on such legislative action. A letter from Springfield, Illinois, dated Jan. 6, says that a revenue bill is agreed upon, which proposes "to add a tax of one mill, and take another mill from the county tax and add it to the State.11 It is thought this bill will pass. It will give th State $150,000 per annum towards the payment of interests on the public debt, a sum which, we venture to predict, will for the present fully satisfy both foreign and domestic creditors. .'

OtT The following notice of our Canal, we copy from the Toledo Blade. This work is creating unusual interest throughout the West, such interest as insures its completion whether Congress comes to our aid or not. We are still induced to think, however, the Government will not let the present opportunity slip of securing an interest in it and

making it what it should be, a Nutional Work. A few days now will settle that point. WABASH AND ERIE CANAL. This work in its effect on the growth and business of our city has not answered our expectations. A variety of cases, too well k aown here to need to be enumerated, have operated to postpone the realization of our hopes. But we have this consolation that though slow great results are sure. So long a line of canal, through a country so fertile, canuot fail to occasion an immense amount of bust ness at the point of its connexion with the lake waters. Next season its length will be increased down the rich Wabash valley fitly miles, but not in time tor the spring trade. It will also have added to it next season one hundred and eighty miles by the junction of the Miami canal. In 184b, the line : west ward will reach Terre-IIaute, ninety miles beyond Lafayette, its present terminus, in that direction. - A bill has just passed the Senate of the U. States, granting land to aid in extending the canal from lerre-Haute to Evansville on tho Ohio river, four hundred and sixty. miles by canal from Toledo. The bin which gives between lerre-Haute and Evansville, the same amount (the alternate sections within five miles on each side of the canal line,) that was given this side of Ter-re-Haute we nope will also pass the House of Representatives. Toledo Blade. CHINESE PAPERS. English Rule American Trade. A file of Chinese Papers the Hong-Kong Register have been received out West here dated as late as the 21th September last.The Cincinnati Chronicle says "A friend has transmitted us a file of the Hong-Kong Register. This is the English Government paper published at Hong-Kong, the English port in the island of Chuzan. It is very n uable to us, as furnishing a good illustra tion of the completeness with which the English impress their own mind and mode on all their colonies. The advertisements in this paper, show that the goods sold, and the mode of transacting business, are just a bout the same as in England. In fact, the English Lion has put his foot peremptorily and permanently on nearly the whole Asiatic territory. It will result iu transferring a their institutions into that ancient land. In the Register of the 21st, is a govern ment ordinance, establishing an English Su preme Court at Hong Kong. It . provides expressly that none but. Lnglish Law sba prevail. The whole organization of the court and the rutes orjurispr udence are English. Hits fact shows conclusively in what man ner and with what firmness British coloniza lion is extending itself in Asia. The following important item is found in the Register of the 24ih inst. "American Trade with China. We learn from private letters lately received by a Gen tie man here that the Merchants m the Uni ted States accustomed to send goods to Chi na have engaged the whole of the Cotton goods adapted for that market that can be manufactured from the 1st of June to the end of October." It seems that the China trade in American manufactured cottons is extending; and if we once get a firm foot-hold in that trade, it is likely to be one of great magnitude; aud we of Cincinnati are not altogether disinterested in that matter. For if, as we suppose, the cotton manufacture may be carried on very advantageously in Cincinnati and the Miami country, it is not unreasonable to suppose that we may also share in the foreign export. It is understood, that by the new Treaty American lead will be admitted on liberal terms. The demand for lead in China is great, and it is probable an opening will be thus afforded for an increased exportation of this article from the mines of the West. i On the whole, a new' era is evidently aris-! ing in the commerce between the Great Asiatic nations and ihe European races. Of Mr. Dickinson, recently elected to the United States Senate by the N. Y. legislature, the Tribune says: He is a cleverish sort of a buffoon in a bar-room, law-suit, or a legislative hall, and mixes up Joe Miller and the Bible so as to make a rather amusing harangue on matters in general, no matter what the subject in hand may be; but he sadly lacks ability, statesmanship, and dignity for the exalted station lo which he has by strange fortune and sharp management been elevated. He will form a class by himself in the Senate. ihere is scarcely a county in the State from which the majority might not have selected a man better fatted to be a Senator. Washington Rumors. That the nomina tion of Judge King to the bench of the Su preme Court of the U. States had been laid on the Senate table by a large majority. ' That a duel is expected between Col. Ben ton and ex-Governor Thomas of Maryland, growing out of an unpleasant family quarrel. v That McNulty has obtained satisfactory bail, and has a week from last Tuesday week to make good his deficency and escape the criminal prosecution, and that his sureties on the $20,000 bond, as Clerk, have secured $15,000 which was recently in the hands of a business firm in New York to his ac count, and will therefore suffer only to the tune of 5000.

Graxd Texas Meeting in the City or

New York. The Louisville Journal of Saturday last gives some account of an im mense meeting ot the loco locos ot IN. ionr. who are in favor of immediate annexation. The Journal says: . The N. Y. Locofocos who are in favor of the most immediate sortot Texas annex ation, having grown impatient at the tardy action of Congiess on the subject, resolved to hold a grand annexation meeting to in struct the Representatives of the people. According lo appointment, the great Olontarf annexation demonstration came offal Tammany Hall on Friday evening of last week. It was intended that it should be a mon ster meeting, and it turned out to be a meet ing of monsters. " We have in our time read reports ot the proceedings t of a good many obstreperous assemblages, but that one was to the most unrully meeting on record as "Hyperion to a Satyr." Had a blind man been present he would have fancied it a general meeting of the manageries, and he would lave had an excellent reasons for such an opinion, i ne meeting couia not nave oeen more disorderly if it had .been composed ot i red-mouthed panthers from Oregon, shaggymaned Brazilian lions; dyspeptic tigers from Bengal, chattering baboons from Oronoko, hungry leopards from Senegal, bellowing bi sons lrom Sibera, blackTivered catamounts from the Rocky Mountains, snarling wolves skulking jackals, ring-tailed monkeys, rhi noceroses, hippopotamuses, white and black bears, elephants and dogs in the last stages of hydrophobia. The lion p iramouut on the occasion was '.hat exemplary man, that mer itonotis embodiment of Democracy, Captain Isaiah Kyndeis, the vullient leader of the Empire club. He 'ruled the roast,1 he was 'cock of the walk,1 he was the 'bright partic ular star, the master spirit, heart, soul, fist, and lung3 of the occasion. He stood fore most on the stand, gave the orders, and was the autocrat of the meeting He was the Ju piter Tonas to whom all the lesser deities looked up; he commanded what should be done, aud hurled the red hot bolts of his wrath hissing at the heads of the refractory. Duriug the progress of the meeting the brotherly feelings of the Locos were exhib ited in sundry broken heads, black eye.,aud bloody noses. . Ti e most impious and blas phemous expressions were heard from the lips of llynders and others, which we wil not stain our columns with. The New York Locofocos are, beyond a! question among the lowest and fouhst spe cimens of humanity. If they were not, they would hardly consent to be ruled by such blackguards, thieves and murderers, as llyn ders and his companions in crime and Dem ocracy. we suppose Kynuers is a good enough fellow for the party in that city, a party which sanctions all kinds of frauds, vices, crimes, and iniquties, but had that champion of Democracy lived in any othe partof the civilized world, he would have been imprisoned, or hung and quartered long ayo. A resolution was read at the meeting, in which the name of Silas Wright, the name under which and by virtue of which the party achieved its victory in the recent contest was mentioned favorably. Immediately the whole hall resounded with hisses 'as if ten thousand adders had suddenly appeared in me crowd, ine, resolution was rejected with an almost unanimous vote amid jeers and the most violent expressions of scorn and hate. The reason why Wright1 name was thus treated is that he has the wisdom and patriotism to denounce ihe whole vile Tex a9 plot. For this reason, he, to whom Loco focoism is indebted for its recent victory, is denounced, abused, and hissed at! The vil wretches that lead Locofocoism in New York have no gratitude for services rendered their cause. They are of the same reptile race which in Athens banished Aristides and com mended the cup of hemlock lo the lips of Socrates. We do not regret that Silas Wright was thus treated by the ingrates. A man who will condescend to adapt his course lo sun me scum and onscouring ot creation must expect the wretches will turn on him whenever an occasion arises in wl ich he differs from them, and the base feelings of their slack hear.s are appealed to. Jackson was lauded with the most sickening eulogy. He is just the hero for such crowds, and no piaise can be too high and thick for his mer its, in their estimation. The Duck river man was not mentioned. The party pretty generally regard him as a sort of nobody, a mere instrument which they are to use to subserve their own wishes; and in no other part of Locotocodom is this feeling more heartily cherished for him than in the city of New York. Wright was duly hissed, Jackson was duly lauded, but poor Polk was altogether too minute an object to be referred to in a New York Locofoco meeting! Once Mr. Van Buren's name was mentioned by one of the speakers, - and the appreciating crowd laughed at it as if its proprietor were the most entirely ludicrous object in the world."Pa's" son, Mr. Ahasuerus Tyler, made a speech, in which "pa1 was referred lo as one of the most illustrious leaders in the ranks of Locofocoism. We suppose Ahasuerus thinks his pa really elected Polk, al he says he did, and Ahasuerus's brain is of the right consistency is precisely the proper soil for an opinion ot me kind to take root in. Cot. W. IL Polk. "We learn from good authority that the paragraph published from the Richmond Enquirer relative to the nom ination of Col. Polk vs Charge to Naples, to fill a vacsncy, having een withdrawn by t,he President from the Senate is erroneous. We understand the nomination is. still before the Senate, and will not be withdrawn. The above is from the Philadelphia Sentinel, a full bred Tyler organ, and no doubt speaks by authority. Let Mr. Ritchie mark that. Will he give us another discourse apon Nepotism f . OCT The bill providing for the election ol President and Vice President on one day throughout the Union, has passed the U. S. Senate, and is now of course, the law of the land. " - . . . ; . -

GEN. JACKSON'S OPINION OF THE TREATY OF 1819 WITH SPAIN. The Globe of Monday last contains the subjoined letter from Gen. Jackson, of which a copy was oblaiued by its editors from Sum! L.

Dear Sir: I returned from mv tour in thn South and South-east on the evening of the loth msf., when I received vour verv friendlv and interesting letter of the 23d of May last. wnicn i nave read with great interest and attention. On its nerusaland consideration . I have determined to remain in ?ervice until the situation of Europe fullv develone it self, and our aflairs with Spain are brought to a final close.

Until then, my private ' wishes aud feelings must bend lo "what it may be conceived will promote the public good. The view you have taken of the conduct pursued by our .

James Monroe, President United States. There is a beauty in the thounhts, a chasteness in the language, a brevity, end an oppositeness, in the following proclamation of Governor Chawfokd, of Georgia, which induces us to place it on our record of passing events: r STATE OF GEORGIA A PROCLAMA TION. By Geo. W. Cha wfoed, Governor of said State. - " Nations and States, like men, are subiect to the vicissitudes of joy and grief. The afnictious that humble, are always sad, the blessings that enliven, often neglected monitors. As patience and humility must wait on the one, so, should gratitude attend the other. Happy" is that land whose people can so apply the"uses of adversity"&.prospe rity as to be ever mindful of the just relations between the creative and created power, and steadily imitate by their actions that standard of morality whose authority and hope is heaven. In accordance with these views and approved custom, I, Georde Waiker Crawford, Governor of the Slate of Georgia, have deemed it proper to issue this, my proclamation, and appoint Thursday, the 13th February next, as a day of Thauksgiving and Prayer, and request that all religious denominations in the State will, on that day, meet at their usual places of worship, and supplicate the Great Ruler of the Universe that His blessings may be Continued-upon our beloved land.
