pROOKVIL.liE, IIVDIAIVA; FRIDAY, DECEMBER tO, I8J3. The Office of the "IXDIAXA AMERICAN' has tn removed to the New Brick building East of the Public Square.
(- Mr. Charles Coffin has been appointed Post Jlaster atCedaar Grove, to fill the vacancy accasioned by the decease of Mr. Hezekiah Coffin. j-Temperance. We Lave been requested to say that an Address will be delivered on the subject of Temperance, at the M. E. Church in this place, on the first day of January, at 12 o'clock M. by Jons Rvjian, Esq. A general attendance is requested.
QJ-We acknowledge the receipt of various documents andpapers from our Representative in Congress, the Hon. Amos Lane.
Georgia. John P. King has been elected Senator bv the Georgia Legislature,to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Geo. M.Troup. Mr. King is spoken of in high terms by some of the Georgia papers. His opponent was John M'Pherson Berrien, late Attorney General. King's majority was thirty six votes. And W. C. Preston has bean elected to the Senate to supply the place of S. D. Miller, resigned.
CO.WRESS. Both bouses of Congress met on Monday the second. In the Senate,Mr. White of Tennessee, the President pro tern, took the Chair and called the house to order. The credentials of Mr. E. R. Potter, a senator from Rhode Island, were presented by the Chair, who also stated that Mr. Robbins had heretofore been elected, his credentials presented and recorded at the last session and that he had taken his scat accordingly. Mr. Poindexter moved that Mr. Robbins should
be qualified and take his seat. This motion gave
rise to some debate, in which Messrs. Poindex tcr, Clay, and Kins, chambers, and Kane, parti
cipated. Mr. Kane moved to postpone the sub
ject till the next day. Ayes 16 Nays 17. 1 lie debate was continued, when Mr. Benton moved
to refer the subject to a select committee of five,
and determined the veas and nays.
Yeas Messrs. Beuton, Brown, Grundy, Hill,
Kane, King, Morris, Rives, Robinson, Sheply, Tallmadge, Tipton, White, Wilkins, Wright

Nays Messrs. Bell, Bibb, Chambers, Clay. Ewinr, Frelinghuysen, Hendricks, Kent, Knight,
Mangum, Moore, Naudin, Poindexter, Prentiss,
Sillsbee, Smith, Swift, Tomhnson, Tyler 19. So the motion was negatived.
The question was then taken on the motion of
Mr. Poindexter, and decided in the affirmative. So Mr. Robbins takes his scat, and Mr. Potter takes to his heels. In the house Mr. Stevenson was re-elected speaker without any regular opposition by a decided majority of the whole house. Mr. Clarke, the former Clerk, was defeated and a Mr. Franklin elected in his place. This looks a little on the Kifchen Cabinet order. Mr. Allen of Kentucky brought up the subject of the right of T. P. Moore to take his seat; an end however, was put to the subject for the presently the mutual withdrawal of both Mr. Moore and Mr. Letcher. Enough was said to show that if the influence of party could be brought to sustain Mr. Moore it would be done. We can scarcely believe that there is profligacy out of the Kitchen Cobinet sufficient to produce this result. Cin. Gazette.
in relation to the nomination for Lieut. Goternor,we are notable to give the vote received by each candidate. After these nominations the Convention adjourned till 6 o'clock in the evening. During the sitting we understand three Delegates were appointed from each Congressional District to the National Convention.
Indiana Journal,
News. For the following important imformation,we
are indebted to that pink of consistency, the Sentinel, printed at Connersville.
Col. Richard M. Johnson. "This distin
guished individual is spoken "of as a candidate for the Presidency, and we find him to be a more promancnt character in Indiana than we had anticipated. Judging from the "signs of the
limes," wc are led to conclude, that the Colonel
is as strong in this State as any other of those
wno nave been spoken ot as candidates, and his
strength increases as his claims are placed before the people. If the Workingmen should drop
Judge McLean, which we think they should do. and take up Col. Johnson, we have no doubt but Indiana would give him her support.1'

CONVENTION. The Convention, assembled to nominate candidates for Governor and Lieut. Governor, and to appoint Delegates to attend a National Convention to nominate a President, &c. convened in the Court House on Monday morning, and was organized by the appointment of Gen. Samuel Miluoy. as President. Mr. Robert McIxtire, of Fountain, and Mr. David V. Ccllev, of Dearborn, as Vice Presidents, and Messrs. William B. White, of Fountain, and A. F. Morrison, of Marion, as Secretaries. A considerable number of Delegates were present, twenty-seven counties only being unrepresented, most of which were provided for by a resolution pcrmiting the friends of the present Administration present from unpresented counties to take seats and act delegates. A committee of fourteen, composed of two from each Congressional District, was appointed to determine the mode in which the Convention should proceed in the
nominations, and also to report rules for the ac
tion of the Convention. After an interval the
committee reported on the subjects referred to them, and determined to allow the counties as many votes as they have Representatives in the General Assembly. The Convention proceeded to ballot for Governor after the manner agreed
upon, when, on counting the votes, they were
proclaimed from the Chair as follows:
DANIEL O'COJWELL. By the subjoined extracts, from the reported and printed speech of Mr. O'Connell, delivered at the Anti-Slavery meeting in London (says the Alexandria Gazette.) it will be seen that the previous accounts we had received of it were correct in their particulars. t In one place, Mr. O'Connell says I will not go to America. I have often longed to go there, in reality, but so long as it is tarnished by slaverv, I will not pollute my foot by
treading on its shores. (Cheers.) In the course of my preliminary duty, a few days ago, I had to arraign the conduct of the Despot of the North, for his cruelty to the msn, woman, and children
of Poland; and I spoke of him with the execra
tion he merits. But I confess, that although I
hate him with as much hatred as one christian man t an hate another human being, viz: I detest his actions with abhorrence, unutterable and
indescribable: yet there is a climax in my hatred. I would adopt the language of the poet, but reverse the imagery, and say In the deepest bell there is a depth more profound,'
and that is to be found in the conduct of the A-
merican slave owners. (Cheers.) Thru are the
basest of the bane: the most execrable of (lie execra
ble. I thank God, that, upon the wings ot the
press, the voice of so humble an individual as
myself will press against the weslren breeze
that it will reach the rivers, the lakes, the moun
tains and the elens of America and that the
friends of liberty there will sympathize with me
and rejoice that I here tear down the image of liberty from the recreant land of America, and condemn her a3 the vilest of Hypocrites the greatest of liars." Long and contiuued cheering. WelI'mighlsucha malignanat tirade have been cheered by the enemies of America who were present! Doubtless they chuckled at such a philipic from a man who has himself never received any other treatment than kindness and favor from Americans, j Again, Mr. O'Connell says 44 There is a lie stamped on the Constitution of the United States." And again "Shame be upon America! eternal shame be
upon her escutcheon'.'' (Loud Cheers.)
And again They must not think they can boast of their
republican institutions that they can talk of their strength and their glory. Unless they abolish slavery, the must write themselves down liars. or call a general convention of the States, and
blot out the first sentence of their Declaration ot Independence, and write in its place, 'Liberty in
America m"Cins the pozcer to flog slaves, and to work them for nolhi,ig." (Loud applause.)
From the Editor at Indianapolis. Dec. 10. The business of legislation progresses about as
usual at this stage in the session. Loth Houses are cutting, carving, 7wsei'nfi mortising, and
fitting studs and braces for a vast number of fa-
bncs: and until some 01 them are raisea ana pui
in shape, it perhaps would be venturing to say
what they will look, or to what purpose iney win
be applied. The Bank committees in cither Hous?, are to meet this evening to digest and agree upon a bill. The result of their deliberations will be reported in a few days. Ind. Pal. The late meteoric shower appear? tohave caused much alarm among the slaves of the South. The following paragraph is from a letter from Cambahee, South Carolina. 44 Shrieks of horror and cries for mercy I could hear from most of the hegroes of three plantations, which in all is about six hundred. While earnestly listening for the cause, I heard a faint voice near the door, calling my name. I rose and taking my sword, stood at the door. At this moment I heard the same voice beseeching me to rise, and 6aying, lO, my God, the world is on fire.' I then opened the door; and it is difficult to say which excited me most the awfulness of the scene,or the distressed cries of the negroes; upwards of ahundred lay prostrate on the ground some speechless, and some with the bitterest
cries, but most with their hands raised, imploring
God to save the world and them. The scene was truly awful; for never did rain fall much
thicker, than the meteors fell to the earth. East,
west, north and it was the same. I endeavored
by all possible means, to compose the people,
who supposed it to be the stars tailing."

This is the season of Legislation for most of
the States as well as for the General Government. The Legislature of South Carolina lias assembled at Columbia; and we give to-dav inter
esting extracts from the Governor's Message,
which is the only document we Lave yet 6cen

Houses.and shall notice it hereafter.
The Legislature of Virginia assembled at
Richmond on mondav last. George C. DromGOOLEwas elected Sneaker of the Senate, and
Linn B anks Sneaker of the House of Delegates.
We have the Governor's message, which, from
its great'Iength.and its pronounced tone, requires
more notice of it than wc can possibly give it to-

principles of the Proclamation of the President
of the United Stales of December to other meas
