Mr. Editoh; -We have prevailed upon Mr. John Echols to become a Candidate for Assessor of this county." ou will please , announce liim accordingly. MANY VOTERS. (fCT )Ve hope pur Democratic and Whig friends will read the subjoined paragraph, and for once determine to do their duty: We are in want of a small (we never ask fir large amounts) sum tq enable us to keep the wheels of office greased and agoing, and it is to those who daily receive the benefit pi pur labor, and who are continually asking favors of us, that we look lp lor assistance. ' It is no favor we ask it is only our rights, and eyery one who is at this time indebted to us should thank his stars that he ha? now the opportunity to repay the obligation un- - der which we have placed him by afibrding . him credit, whether it be for subscription, advertising or job work and come forward and Fettle his account. To each one. the amount is small, but to us ihw aggregate will be, found sufficient for all our wants. We ask nothing unreasonable. Our customers have had the benefit of our labors, and it is but right they should make us a remuneration. We shall make out all our bills and give them into the hands of one of our young men for collection, and we do hope no one . will bid him "call agats." All such as . shall take pleasure, in complying with our re quest, will be entitled to a Sprinter's thanks1' a "primer's gratitude," and all such as do aof, why God help them. VOTE IN YOUR OWN TOWNSHIP. Every voter should remember that he is re quired to deposits his vote in his Township, in which he lives. This we believe will prove to be a wise law and put a stop to frauds upon the ballot box Let no Whig forget it. CtT We hope our friends in the different counties will provide themselves in season with tickets.. This must not be forgotten If Mr. "J. M. A ," of New Albany, who has been in his time, the editor of three pa pers, wishes to see his communication in the Journal, he must write more intelligibly. Supposing from his representation of himself (that he has bepn three times an editor,) that he must know something, we gave his strrff lo the compositor without examining it critically, and it was not till we saw it m type that we perceived the utter impossibil ity of its appearance in our columns. Cttr The Statesman does not deny the charge we have brought against Mr. Ende cott, but he produces Jesse D- R"ght (a mighty questionable witness where integrity is concerned) to prove Mr. E. honest. We produced Mr. Endecott's lagislative acts to prove him a fool, and we think we have suc ceeded. Burns, however, thinks a fool the most fit person in the world to represent rc3ey lortunateiy tue people do not so think. g- The following wa3 the thirteenth reg ular toast given at a pic-nic celebration a New Harmony on the 4th inst : Woman. As her rights are respected, so may we mark the rise and progress ot civil jzation and refinement. w Cheers Robert Dale Owen's lady being present immediately responded to the sentiment as follows: , By Mrs. R. D. Owen. Woman. When her rights are respected, it will be time enough to give nine cheer3. . Sad Accident. On Sunday afternoon last, Mr. Alexander McDonald in attempting to cross Pigeon creek a few miles from this place, was unfortunately drowned. His body was found the same evening and brought to this place for interment, and buried from the residence of his brotrher in law, Mr. Samuel Orr.

(r Messes. Wilson and Owen addressed f

a very large number of the people of this i .. county at the Court-House on Saturday last. It was the first opportunity our citizens have had of hearing Mr. Wilson, and we but express the sentiment of the very intelligent audience present when we say they were agreeably disappointed in both the matter and manner of Mr. Wilson's speech, lie is a plain, practicable, business man, a good spea ker and a staunch Whig, and convinced Mr. Owen as he did every other of his hearers, that that gentleman has "opposition" enough. From every part of the District we hear the most favorable occount s ofthe success of our candidate, and we are assured hy the leading men of almost e very county with whom we are in correspondence, that success is again about to perch upon the Banner of the Whigs We have in the last week received a num ber of letters from the upper part of the Dis trict which breathe the utmost confidence in the success of Mr. Wilson, and exhorting the people of the Pocket to do their duty and all will be well., From the counties surrounding us we hear most cheering news, and we can assure our brethren ofthe upper end cf the district that the Whigs of thi3 section will do their duty their whole duty. Mr. Wilson will do better in this county than did Mr. Clay even, and in Posey, Mr. Owen will fall far short of the vole given to him at . jthe last election. In Gibson and Pike, our friends assure us many changes are. already, and more will be, made against Mr. Owen.' We firmly believe that all that is necessary to beat Mr. Owen is for the Whips to come out in their strength. T 03" What f'is sauce for the goose" should be "sauce for the gander." The following article was intended by the Statesman to give Mr. Endecott a lift among the farming and working portion ofthe community: and we think wilj, if found to apply in his case, ap ply with equal force to Mr Wilson. lie is a farmer, and we are glad to learn, has been a very successful one has never studied law, medicine or any other science with a view to money making has never rubbed "through a college" is a plain, sensible man, - in a word, as the Statesman happily says, "is the very man who understands what legislation a farming community- needs," aud . conse quently is "the very man" who should be elected. On the other hand, Mr- Owen has "passed through a college," and as his time has been taken up with his books, he knows ess than Mr. Wilson the kind of legisla tion best suited to the interests of the farming and working community. We hope, with our neighbor of the Statesman, that the people will eschew "that old Federal doctrine," that a man must receive a college education be fore he can rise above the mediocre of a "jackass," or be held a fit person to legislate for the masses, and elect Mr. Wilson who is one from their own yalk in life and knows their wants. The Statesman says: (ttr Whenever a farmer or working man is nominated as a candidate for the Legisla ture, there is a certain class of pretenders to knowledge, to be found in every community, who make it a business to detract from the merits ofsuch candidates. They argue, that because a man has not passed through a col ledge, he of course must be a "jackass," and therefore unfit to legislate. This is the old Federal doctrine exactly. The day has gone by, we hope, for such sophistry. Farmers are the very men who understand what leg tslation a tarming community needs. PUBLIC APPOINTMENTS.

We much regret that in an ungarded moment we did the foolish thing that rived our good friend's heart, and we promise now, as Brutus did, henceforth, when we see a paragraph from our friend more awkward, perhaps, than the one of which we speak, we'll think his better half lies ill, and pass the unhappy article bv. (pBy a statement in the N. Y. Express, it appears that on the 1st of July 'the whole debt contracted for tho construct. . rof the New York aud Erie Canals was paid,' leaving a balance to the credit of the fund of $104, 140. . Henceforth the tolls of the Erie audi Champlain Canal will be a-net gam to the Treasury of the Stale. For twenty years the interest has been faithfully paid in par fundsj and now the whole of the principal is paid! It is an hon orable evidence of tho fidelity of the State, and the prospetity of the country. It should not be forgotten, that it is Western Trade that has enabled New York to ac" complish this.

I was handed, late on this evening the Indiana Statesman," a paper printed in New Harmony,aml purporting to be edited by Alex. Burns, Jr.; in which there appears two apparent editorials describing the speeches of Mr. Owen and myself as delivered there on last Wednesday. After making Mr. Owen the victor, (a matter of which. I do not complain in that Editor,) I am represented as having expressed my regret, that the donation of Lands to the Wabash & Erie Canal for the purpose of its completion to Evansville, were not given for the improve ment ot the Wabash Kiver. 1 stated there, as I had before, and shall continue to do, that, I had no fault to find with Mr. Owen's vote for these lands being appropriated to the Canal, and remarked I would, had I been in Congress, have given a similar vote; nor did I complain that the ap propriation wa3 not made to the River. It is true I arraigned Mr. Owenssincerity as a De mocrat for professing, as 1 supposed he did in common with the other leaders of his par ty, to entertain conscientious scruples in re gard to the constitutionality of Distribution, or the power of the General Government to favor bv donation or appropriation any State internal improvement, whilst in thjs instance he had departed from his Democratic principles. I said there, as I now say, that so far as the claims ofthe river are concerned, 1 should, if elected, feel myself bound to favor the furtherance of any practicable plan for its im provement, but added, that with a Demo cratic majority in Congress, and the veto power of Mr. Polk, I could see but little hope of success. How it is possible, that the writer of these false articles in the Statesman could propcrlv have misunderstood me, I cannot imagine, but tins much 1 teel constrained to say in justice to myself, that the statements there made aro basely, and unqualifiedly false, whether they shall have emanated from the pen ot the ostensible Editor, or by someone behind the curtain. I had expected some such trick upon the eve ol the Election, but it I had called my guessing powers inio requisition, l never could have imagined the propagation of "so ill advised and reckless a he" Respectfully, &c. GEO. P. R. WILSON Evansville, Saturday J Evening, July 12th 1845 i (7 oince tne aoovo uard was in type we have received the following letter from Mr. Owen in an envelope which we are di rected to use and forward to the Editor o the Statesman : For Hie Statesman. Nrwburgh, July 14, 1845. Mr. Burns: Mr. Wilson has called my at tention to an error in your paper of the 12lh inst., in which you say, Mr. W ilson staled in his speech at New Harmony, that "the grant of lands for tho Canal should have bceneiven to tne waoasti. I was sitting close to Mr. Wilson, I re member distinctly, that l.e then said, as he has said elsewhere : "that he was in favor of the grant of lands for the Canal;" to which, on that occasion ho added: "that he was also in favor of a grant of lands for the im provement of the Wabash. IT .1.. 1 - . ... xKivc use jjoounes3 10 mane this correc tion, in justice to Mr. Wilson. ROBT. DALE OWEN. The Tariff and the Scb-Treasurv. An editorial paragraph in the Union darkly intimates, yet with a sufficient clearness to be understood, that the Secretary ofthe Trea sury will make a push, at the next session of Congress, for the re-establishment of the Duo-i reasury: aua in tne same column it gives the following: Letter from Hon. R. J. Walker. Extract from a letter to the senior editor of the Mississipian, dated June 5, 1845. tt. lit . '11 I "it wouia db impossible lor me to give you any adequate conception of the labors of this office, (Secretary of the Treasury;) suffice it to say, I never have any leasure.

At present, my chief occupation is with the details of the tariff. IT MUST BE REDUCED TO THE REVENUE STANDARD. Very truly yours, R.J. WALKER."

A SERMON by Robert Dale Owen.

By request we re-publish to day from "The New Harmons and Nashoba Gazette," of Dec. 3d, 1828, "edited by Francis Wright, Robert Dale Owen and Robert L. Jen nings," the following "Sermon on Loyalty," preached and published by Robt.Dale Owen. The Sermon is of course intended to ridicule the inconsistency and hypocrisy of the Christians of the United States for being at the eame time republicans or rebels against the kingly power. The sarcasm of this sacralegious and impious publication though entirely without point as originally applied, is well deserved by those pretended christians who can be induced by party feelings to the gross and glaring inconsistency of voting for their arch reviler, Robert Dale Owen. We think that when ?ucli christians have read this "Sermon," they will be able to under stand what the New Harmony Statesman means when it say that "Mr. Owen will be beaten for Congress when christians prac lice what they preach; and not till then:'1'' SERMON ON LOYALTY. Test. Romans 13 c. 1 & 2. "Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there IS potrer but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God. XYuomsdever, therefore, resistclh the poiccr, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that resist shall receive to themselves Damnation.''1 I beg for a moment to call your attention, my christian friends, to the book from which I have now read to you. It is the Bible; it is the word of God; of that God who cannot lie, who cannot err; whose words are a light to our wandering feet, and lamp to our devious paths. It is our rule of life; and from its holy commands there is appeal, neither in the Heavens above, nor in the Earth beneath.The sainted spirits of our reverenced forefatherr hear the blessed voice, and fall prostrate in adoration before the almighty pre sence; tne angels on their heavenly thrones hear the blessed voice, and bow their heads in humble submission. All ?11 obey, and adore. And can ye, worms of the dust! can ye do less than this? Prostrate your human will, prostrate your human reason before His throne, at whose nod the Heavens stumble. Approach the Almighty with bended knee and heart, and say : "Not my will. Lord, but thine be done." fs there among the assembled crowd before me, a reprobate so hardened mat he teeis not God's authority, or doubts His holy book? Is there a wretch so impious that the words of mercy fall on his ear unheeded or contemn ed? 1 ask ve vet again, lives there among ye such an one? Markhim well. Let him receive special attention. His is the portion in that lake, whence the voice of torment ascendeth up forever and ever to the throne of offended Justice. He shall depart into eternal fire, forgotten of man, unpitied of God, the darpned child of ever-lasting perdition! Woe, woe tothe wretch! Better it were lor him that he had miver been bomV Better that a mill-stone had been hanged about his neck and he had been cast into the raging sea. - . " . But such are not ye my christian hears. Ye will be submissive, ye will be obedient ye will harkento the commands of Him who, after he has killed the body, hath power to cast the soul into hell-fire. I know ye will, I see it in your mein of meek devotion ; I see it in your looks of holy reverence; I see it in your attitude of pious attention. Ye will listen when the Lord of the Universe speaks, and ye will obey when he commands your obedience. Here, then, on fhis consecrated spot, on this hallowed day, at this holy hour, the Creator speaks to the creatures of his hand, He speaks to them in the words of man. He points to that conduct in this world that shall make you His forever in the next. He opens the gates of Paradise and bids ye enter so ye will only, for a few short yeais, walk in the earthly path He has solicited for ye. He says to his chosen people : "Let every soul be subject to higher powers." Here then i3 your duty; submission to those whom God has placed above you. Would ye evince your fear to God? honor the King. Would ye please your Father which is in Heaven? obey his vicegerent upon Earth. And how light is the duty! how easily construed the command! Ye have not carefully to examine the orders that are giveu to you, nor cautiously to weigh their con sequences, nor presumptuously to question their propriety, nor laboriously to calculate their effect "Submit yourselves" as it is elsewhere said to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake." Exclaim not! question not! judge not! hesitate not! Hath not the Lord said it? and who art thou, oh man I that repliest against God. See here the considerate goodness of our gracious Creator! Ho requires of no one that which is beyond his power to give. All men are not born with correct judgements to decide right from wrong or justice from injustice; and, accordingly, we are not called upon to exercise our human judgements, to examine, to weigh, or to decide. But all are born with cars to hear; so that, hearing, all can obey; and it is obedience only that we are commanded to give. All have not received the ten talents the knowledge of good and evil; but the one talent obedience has been committed to every one of you. See that ye employ it for the purpose for wich it was given; that when the King of Heaven cometh, he may receive his own usury. ' I beg of you to observe the simplicity and explicit nature ofthe command: "Let every soul be subject to the higher powers; for there is no power but ot God; the powers that be are ordained of God." Ye are not presumptuously to judge for yourselves whom ye will have to rule over you. Fear not to obey when it seems right to you; and to with hold your obedience, when that ye find your duty grevious and heavy to be borne. Take heed that ye fall notjinto the snare ofthe tempter; that ye ask not, "Who hath made thee a judge and ruler over us?" Behold, "there is no person but of God." Be not

led away then by the voice of the impious, crying "Reform! reform!" These are the

children of the Devil ; and even as their father prompteth them, so they speak. There are those who will beguile you with fair words, who speak to you of liberty and equality, and of resistance against injustice, and of casting down tyranny and oppression. There are they who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are raving wolves. They would would have you rebel and resist! llarken, then, to your aoonr "miomsoeverresisteth the power, resisteth the ordi nance of God; and they that resisteth shall receive to themselves damnation." But yet imagine, perhaps, that ye are un justly dealt by, that ye are oppressed, that ye are made hewers of wood and drawers ol wa ter, that ye are loaded with burdens grevious and heavy to be borne, and that your rulers will not touch the burdens with one . of their fingers. Suppose, for a mo ment, that your complaints were just, and and your indignation well founded. 'Shall ye, therfore, resist? On your own head then be your blood! ye who have laught against God, and against his anointed. Grasp toyour weapons, gird on your armour: take you sword and your bow and mount your chariot and rush forward to the impious warfare! But know, that He who slew in one night eighty thousand men, who took off the Egyptian chariot-wheels, and troubled Pharoah's host, and whelmed his mighty men in the sea will not go with thee, God is not man that he should lie, nor the the son ol man that he should repent, "They that re i i I . : i sist shall receive to themselves damnantion." Hath he said it, and shall he not perform? Hath he commanded, and will he not stand fast? Give up your fortunes, give up your liberties, give. your lives to the powers that be; but resist not, lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. Ye have heard that the nation of the Americans rebelled against the King whom God had ordained over them; and that certain men of Belial, Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and others with them, took coun sel together saying, "Who is this King that we should barken to his voice? we will notj have this man to rule over us." And ye have heard in the day of battle the wicked prevailed and the anointed of ths Lord was discomfitted before his enemies. And now ye know that their pride is waxed high, and their spirits are haughty within them. But be not ye like unto them- Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fill. That ungodly nation even the Amerr icans resisted the power; they resisted the ordinance of -God; they shall receive to themselves damnation! Think not, that ber cause the Lord's vengeance sleepeth, it shall never awake. Great was his long suffering towards Sodom and Gomorrah; but the swift vengeance ofthe divine Judge overtook them at last. Even so shall it he with the Americans, God will bring them into judgement for every disloyal word they have said, and for every rebel blow they have dealt against His ordain ed Ruler. When Washington, and Jeffer son, and franklin ana others wmi them shall stand before the throne of judgement, then shall a voice from thence proclaim, "I spake to you, and ye would not listen; I command ed, and ye would not obey; depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire." Then shal they begin to say "Lord, when didst thou speak, and we not listen? and when didst thou command, and we did not obey?" But He will answer and say unto them: "For as much as ve did it not unto him whom ordained to rule over you, ye did it not unto me. But enough of the rebellious offenders, I would rather speak to ye of Heaven and its joys; I would rather remind ye ofthe inher itance uncorruptible, undehled; of the living streams of unfading bliss that flow through the eternal cityr of ihe pleasure that rye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived; ofthe glorious light without any shade, and the ever during bliss without the fear of change, and of the golden harp attuned before the throne of God, and ofthe heavenly voices swelling to His praise. I would remind ye of the dear friends ye have loved aud lost. Then shall je meet them again, to part no more forever. Have ye given to the cold arms of Death an affectionate parent, a tender child, a companion dearerthan your own soul? Then shall their loved images again appear to your longing eyes; then shall their familiar voices again speak music to your ears; then shall ye find them, unstained by mortality, clothed in heavenly beauty, bright aud heavenly happiness; no tear to dim the eyes, nor sigh to swell the bosom. Then shall ye live; together breathing the pure air of immortality, unchanged, unchangeable! Ye feel the scene I have feebly painted,! see it in your moistened eyes; I see it yom looks of holy desire. Ye would gain Heaven gain it theu by obedience by meek submission, if any man take your coat, let him abo have your cloak. To him that smiteth ye on one cheek, turn the other also. Suffer for his sake who suffered and oh? how cruelly for you. Resist not evil. Ye would be the children of the prince of peace? Then is your kingdom not of this world, and ye shall not fight. Faint not by the way! Take trod s yoke upon ye and find it easy, and his burden, and find it light. Even in secret, when none but the All-seeing eye is upon ye, obey your Ruler; not with eye-service as men pleases, but but with the service of the heart as fearing God; if a disloyal word or rebellious ihought arise to your lipa give it not utterance, cast it from ye. Obey and escape damnation. Obey aud please your merciful Creator. Obey and honor his sacred wdrd. Obey, and more than . all ye have asked, aud and all ye have prayed for, and all ye have imagined, ehall ye receive at the great day of judgement and retribution. ' . I know net what our reader think of this my sermon; for my own part I think it a very orthodox, and (if my text be admitted) a very consistent one. By unreasoned but seducing declamation such as, this, are mankind kept in ignorance and slavish submission. Eloquence is made to supply the place of logic;; the feelings are aroused; the imagination excited the fears awakened; and the heart, half

bribed and half terrified is

won over to passive obedience. But then again it we retain the Bible, must we not retain our loyalty also? if we are orthodox Christians! must we not be acquiescingslaves! It we believe in the this thirteenth chapter of Romans; how shall we resist even the most unjust power, seeing that whatever power is, is ordained of God. Where is the error, then? In being aloyal slave, after we have admitted the Bible? No! but in admitting the Bible at all. ' It. D. OINTERESTING FROM TEXAS. The Texas Congress has agreed, by an unanimous vote, to the annexation resolutions of our Congress. The news was brought by the U. S. steamer Princeton, which arrived at Annapolis on Thursday, in nine days from Galvesion, and with adrices from Washington, (Texas.) to the 21st of June. Da. Wright, who came in the Princeton as bearer of despatches, immediately proceeded to Washington, and the following memoranda furnished by him is published in the Union of Thursday night: "The news brought by the PnneeSon is of the most interesting character. Both houses ofthe Texian Congress, have unanimously conseniea fo the terms of the joint -resolution of the United States. The Senate had rejected the treaty with Mexico by an unanimous vote. Capt. Waggaman had arrived at Washington. Texas, to select posts to bo occupied by the United Slates troops, and to provide for their subsistence. A resolution was introduced into both houses of Congress, requiring the Executive to surrender all posts , navy yards, barracks, &c. to the proper authorities of the United States. The joint resolutions were introduced into both houses of Congress on the same day, and were almost identical in their tenor. The resolu tions passed the Senate on the 18th of June, and were sent to the House; the Housela'd them on the table, and passed their own re solutions unanimously, and sent them to the Senate on the next day. In the mean time. considerable jealousy arose as to -.?hich branch should claim the honor of the paternity ofthe resolutions: and it was finallv settled that the House should lake op the resolutions of the Senate, and amend them in the third section . The House then passed them in their present form, and sent them back to the Senate, which body concurred in the amendment. The President is pledged to give full and im mediate etlect to the will of Congress, so far as depends upon himself." The Texan Convention which was to meet yesterday (4th of July) there was no doubt would adopt a Constitution for the govern , ment of the State of Texas, as a member of the United States. .; President Jones, in his message to the Congress, referred to the fact of a treaty with -Mexico for the independence of Texas, and submitted it to the Senate, along with the re solutions for annexation. . The treaty with Mexico contained these conditions: s ? 1. Mexico consents to acknowledge the independence of Texas. 2. Texas engages that she will stipulate in the treaty not to annex herself, or become subject to any country whatever. 3. Limits and other arrangements to be matters of agreement in the final treaty. 4. Texas to be willing to refer the disputed points with regard to territory, and other matters, to the arbitration t umpires. This treaty was considered in secret ses- . sion of the Senate on the 21st of June and rejected by a unanimous vole. Now that Texas is annexed to the United States, beyond the hope of its ever being separated again, it is much to be regretted that some boundary with Mexico had not been ; agreed upon. It was thought that the treaty for independence might contain some provision of the kind; but it appears that it only stipulated that the boundary should be referred lo umpires. The following is a copy of the resolutionsas they passed both Houses of the Texas Congress: JOINT RESOLUTION, Giving the consent of the existing government lo the annexation of Texas to ihe United States. . ' . Whereas the government of the United Slates halh proposed the following terms, guarantees, and conditions, on which the people and territory of the republic of Texas may be erected into a new Stale, to be called the State of Texas, and admitted as one of the States of the American Union, to wit: Here follow the resolutions ofthe United States Congress. And whereas, by said terms, the consent of the existing government of Texas is re--quired: Therefore, Sec. 1. Be it resolved by the Senale and House of Representatives of (he republic of Texas in Congress assembled, That the government of Texas doth consent that the people and terrilory ofthe republic of Texas may be erected into a new Slate, to be called the State of Texas, with a republican form of eovernmenf, to be adopted by the people of said republic, by deputies iu convention assembled, in order that the same may be admilled as one of the States of the American Union; and said consent is given on the fcrms, guarantees, and conditions, set 'forth in the preamble to this joint resolution. Sec. 2. Be it further resolved, That the proclamation of the President of the republic of Texas, bearing dale May 5th, 1845, and tae election of deputies (0 sit in convention, at Austin on the 4th day of July next, for the adoption of a constitution for tho State of Texas, hdd in accordance therewith, hereby " receive the consent of the existing government cf Texas. Sec. 3. Be it further resolved, That the President of Texas is hereby requested immediately to furnish the government of the United States, through their accredited tnin ister near this government, with a copy ol this joint resolution ; also to furnish the conven tion, to assemble at Austin on the 4th of July next, with a copy of the same; and the same shall take effect from and after its passage.
