He is a correct and Louost man, aud ta elJ substantial citizen. Wa. It. Gray, editor of the Vevay Statesman, Us been appointed Tost Master at Vevay. It is atiderttood that members f Congress have control of ill the appointment of Post Masters within their respective districts. We had expected Cravens would reward Gray in some way. We expect he will send Ilackletnan a suit of o!d clothe. We aarise the Tost Master to bo on tin look oat for suspicious ltokin packages directed t-j Rnshville endorsed, ''Free, Jas. II. Cravens." P. S. We ar inform";.! by our friends th at the Rashvilis Whig, Greens burgh Repository, and Yeny Statesman, have not abused the eslitor of tie Indiana American for two whole weeks; and vn loose no time in conveying this important tHoro.j.':oh to our readers. When a g gets his wocor he generally ceases squealing. It is rumored that Courtland Cushinj, Esq. of Madison, has been appointed District Attorney for tM uictrict or Indiana. VALUABLE DOCUMENT. many of our readers hare perused and studCoSST.TrTtoS or i he Ur SratKs!How icd the . . i Tkis quen.cn s an import., one and we would fain houe that each one, for himself could answer ; the affirmative. It mar be that thera are snm. is the affirmative. It tnaj be that there are some we fear there are many who have never yet pondered over those lines of Constitutional ficedom, without a knowledge of which no man is qualified to discharge the duties ofj aa American citizen. For years, we have contemplated a publication of this great Charter op Frrk Government, and tio'v fulfil our long deferred resolves by its insertion in our columns. We have fancied a thousand times, that much of tie pcUtic&i error ef the time, grew out of a want of acquaintance with the rstscirtEs of our Government. Mea who have but little access to hoiks, or little leisure to devote t study, are necessarily slow in the exercise of thought, and are ot unfrequcntly, led astray ty the promp t assertion of error; but, with the text beioie Hem, none are more certain to arrive at right conclusions. This inject we drs:re to attain, so far as our own circulation extends; and place, accordingly, the Constitution of the confederated 'States in the hands of two thousand freemen. Some mty tbiak the labor naaeceary. We think differently. A general tdnowkdgement of Truth does not always carry with it a csitvtYrtoa of its divine requirements, ner does an admission that the American Constitution is the best ever devised, enable the citizens to understand its spirit without having worshipped at its shrine. It is too plain to misunderstand and too inportanttobe neglected. The poor and the rich are alike interested in its preservation; and woe betide that People who calmly lock or. while the ruthless hand of party desecrate and defile it! "f wish yn (o tmStrstand te true princi- let of tAe ConrttfNic," was the dying injunction of the lamented Harrisok. That last and Bolemn warning should wach the heart of the Nation, and impel every American voter to ponder over the volume of political truth. Did all understand these "friie principles," how happy would our country be in the siSh destiny which awaits her! Uow calm would ke onr councils how wise their resolve, and bow k-mrable her political character! The grett majority rely too much on theVte tor political direction, ad think and study too flittie the nnann and EAstTB wbich form the characteristics of the E. As Democrats, we desire to see the People otereign removed above the arts of the DemaFStie and the oppression of the Tyrant. To ata ihis condition of political power, they should Uwtughly understand the Coxstitvtion of their rstmtry-theirhigh privileges as frecmen-tho nalore.ends. and jms of the institutions nnder b.ch they live. Let every man who has a son l that Constitution to him-lct him imbue his with its spirit,, and invoke him, in all the ncissttades of l.te.to-m.ir.t,;- I .1 .ind" that noole legacy of patriot .irea.-lir.5atA -iy wua cursed the editor of the American not supporting erfi.'oriafy the Whig ticket at ay elec tion.and are cursing us still louder for th"- Wbig ticket now.

It is utterly impossible for any party, howeve? numerous, however overwhelming in numbers, to get aloug without organization without honorable discipline without recognised Icadinzr men. such as are In be foiinH in all legislative bodies. It is mere twaddle and declamation to talk against leaders. The wisdom of mankind has. in iLn airs nri under every form of Government, pronounced that they are indispensably necessary.
