of holding a Canal Convention, at an early

day, put forth by our Terre-Haute friends,

meets, as we believed it would, with a hearty

response from the entire population of this

county, and, so far as we can learn, the friends

of tho work in the Southern portion of the

State. Since our last number was issued

we have had an ' opportunity of r.onversiug

with several of our leading men, and they,

with one accord agree, that an early meet

before the public. Our friends at Terre

actuate U3 all, have taken hold of the matter

and there is no fear but they will push it a

long. It is our duty to see that every aid is

afforded them. We areihemo3t interested, end whatever exertion is necessary to secure

INDIAN COUNTRY. The disturban

ces, says the Arkansas Intelligencer, of the

Suit., of which we last week and week before

spoke of as having taken place between the

ludi ans on our frontier, appear for the present

to be settled; but from the "talk" of one of

the Creek chiefs, we may again expect that

the Pawnee Mahas will attack the Creeks.

The Creeks, continues the Inteiligenccr,

upon hearing the news of the difficulty, immediately sounded the "war-whoop," which

our informant tells us was carried tothedis

tance of one hundred and twenty miles, in

the short space of IS hours; the runner who

sound the "whoop" travelling on loot the

v;hole lime; and, in that short space of time

1000 warriors were ready for the conflict.

This shows the necessity of a large force' o

troops upon our outposts; the Indians who in

that time, could raise such a force, could

easily commit.dreadful depridations upon any

hostile or opposing force.

Q$r The editor of the New York Plebian, j

who is perfectly insane in his rage for the spoils, earnestly exhorts the office-seekers to stand back and be quiet for the present. The editor of the Washington Constitution unites with great pathos in the exhortation. We find, in one of our exchange papers, an anecdote which, we think, will serve as an admirable illustration of tho virtue of these

fellows. Here it is:

It was on Sunday morning .and a rouwh

ooking, but full congregation h."d assembled

to listen to their pastor's eloquent disserta-

lon upon piety and "eqnal rights." In the

midst of the sermon, a denizen of the town

rushed breathlessly into their midst, with the intelligence that a vessel had stranded on.a

beach near by, and was fast going to pieces.

1 he audience (who were known to a man as

wieckers71) rushed to the door and the

spoils!

"Hold I my friends" shouted the parson as he quietly seized his hat "hold be

patient becalm, one moment, and listen to

the words of advice. Observe" (and, the

reverend gentleman still urged his way to

wards the door) "be quiet one moment lon

reached tiie door, he bolted ahead with the

final exclamation "now leCs have a fair

WHIG COLLECTOR NO STEALINGS

Curtis, the Whig Collector ot the Port of

New York, was no Swartwout or Price. He settled his accounts like an honest man, and a balance was found in his favor, without any

allowance for stealings, which has been paid

to him. The Courier and Enquirer thus

speaks on this subject:

"Fifty millions of dollars received and ac counted for and the accounts of the Collect

in such an exemplification ol their honesty

"A good story is told at Washington on

tins subject, which should not be lost, to ou

readers.

When the fact became public al Washing

It is too bad." "So indeed it is too bad but so it is very

likely to continue to be until locofocoism shall mend its morals, learn to value men for

TO THE TWENTY-EIGHTH

CONGRESS. The Washington correspondent of the N.

Y. Express proposes a monument to this defunct body, with this Epitaph:

ERECTED In commemoration of the

20tu Congress of the United States,

who departed this life March 4, 1845, as a just testimonial to that body, which assumed for itself powers not warrented by the Constitution;

which nullified the laws of another Congress,

by admitting members chosen , in defiance of law; - which sanctioned the rebellion of a mob was more proscriptive of persons, mlire negligent of business, more violent in measures and opinions, and mote vulgar in its manners, than any legislative body in the history of the Government. The historian ' who records its deeds will write, "Sad was the hour of its birth, and blessed the day of its death." Patriots will mourn over the years of its existence, as those when there was most violence among men and most danger of the downfall of the ' Temple of the national Liberty, which had been reared by the Fathers of the Republic.

ZOLL VEREIN TREATY.

This is a new', Treaty, Special gusses

may be made as to its purport and spirit.

Enough is it, however for the present to say

that tho Senate has deferred its further con

sideration until itsregularsession. We may

quote a paragraph fiom the Washington cor

respondent ofthe New York Courier, written

before this disposal of it was known:

There is involved in this treaty a great

principle, which not be settled, as it seems to me, in the hurried sitting of this extraordi

nary session of the Senate. That principle is, as to how far the revenue laws of the country and its settled policy as to protec

tion, can rightly be modified or changed by the treaty-making power. According to the Constitution, raising revenue is the act of Congress alone, and the imitative for such

bills is exclusively with the House of Rep

resentatives. After then both Houses, with

the concurrence of the executive, have es

tablished the law on the subject, it seems

anomalous and unsafe, that the portion of the

Government which is expressly precluded

by the Constitution from orignating any mea

sures of revenue, (the Senate and the Lxe

cutive,) should yet, under another, clause of

the Constitution vesting in them the treaty

making power, set at naught, or defeat, by

the exercise of that power, the settled lavy of Congress.

"PARLOR POLITICIANS." Whoever will take the trouble to examine carefully into the secret manoeuvre of a class of men, who manage always to secure to themselves a good share ofthe spoils of victory, but who are little known or heard of during an election, will become astouished

at the d"ree rerfeciion to which the 'par-

Icr politician' has arrived in his vocation.He is never seen out mingling with the masses who do the work of the party, but is, during an important canvassj always to be found

in his private study, with a long list of uames

of prominent party men residing inuiiiereni sections of the country laying before him. His whole lime is employed in correspon

dence, lie chronicles every act of the par-

tr. and despatches his letters to the promt

nent party men, and particularly the candidates for the Presidency, Vice Presidency, members of Congress, &c. He thus, too often, obtains a reputation for being an

active party man, one whose time and talents

have been employed to advance the inter

ests and secure the success of the democrat

the victory, and many of them did not even

the President examine well the credentials

Instead of considering the number ol letters

would be better to enquire what zvices be hasredeted the triumphantparty; whether he
