BBOOK VIEI.E, INDIANA FR1DAT, MARCH 18, lS4t. "rfTrance Meetittg. There will be a temjjnce meeting at Mount Carrael, next Tuesevening at early candle-lighting. Address,s will be delivered by Geo. Holland, Esq., and I fea of the Secretaries of the temperance ,jc;etics h this county have complied with our jaest made two weeks since. We are under ligations to them. Xlie temperance reformation is still propping at Fairfield. It is said about 40 more ,ied the pledge in that place last week. . -it i r " . . .

0 H. SMITH. li will ue seen lruiu iur re$sional proceedings that our able and distinguished Senator O. II. Smith, has been majinj another masterly speech in Congress, in defence of our dearest interests. So long as continue this talented and zealous public prnmt in his present situation the honor and frerest of Indiana will be sustained. He is I0t only a man of superior talents, but he is i unified, and courteous, commanding the respect and influence of other honorable Senators l0sssVua vnall his just wishes. We have never had a better Senator, and it is not probable his place will be as well filled for many vears to come, after he leaves it. He now stands in the first class of American statesmen or American Senators.

Protracted meetings have been held, for some considerable time past, in the different Churches of this place. - A revival of religion, to a very considerable extent, has been the consequence; and from the manifestations which are daily becoming more and more visi

ble, the good work will, in the providence of

ioa, go on. since this season of daily preaching, prayer, and supplication at a Throne of Grace became so predominant in the Churches, in the families, and in the hearts of our citizens, a great change has been wrought in this community. Between one and two hundred persons have already united themselves with the Church, and a great many others are earnestly inquiring the way of eternal salvation. Added to this highly desirable state of things, a temperance reformation, which we have had occasion to notice heretofore, has commenced in our midst, under the most favorable auspices. It is gladdening the hearts of thousands and bids fair to do an amount of good which cannot be calculated. Journal.

Scspiciocs hinting. After noticing the fact f the destruction of the Lawrenceburgh Distillery, the Dearborn County Register, of the 5ih inst, makes the remark which we quote beow. We heard some suspicious intimations before of the same amount. If our law makers till not defend the people from these public swindlers and shavers, the people will defend themselves: This event is not to be wondered at when

we take into consideration the transaction of

Ihibbs with the Lebanon Miami Bank, in put

ting into circulation suchalarge amount of the

piper of that institution, by which the people

cf this county were so basely swindled."

Wheat. The prospects for wheat is very

tittering at present. We learn from our farriers that it has never looked better, at this season of the year. But in wheat raising there

re so many slips between tne cup ana me

ip, that very little calculation can be made at

this period.

Pennsylvania Resumption Bill. The bill

which passed the two Houses of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, requiring the Banks of that State to resume specie payments as soon as the bill becomes a law, it is supposed has, by this time, been signed by the Governor, and

is now in force. Though it requires immediate resumption on the notes of the Banks outstanding, yet there are other provisions which

make it in fact, a partial resumption only.

a snorter period than would be possible by permitting such seedling to stand until their natural time of bearing. The method is, to put the top of a shoot from a seedling tree, or a new variety, when it is desirable to procure a specimen of the fruit immediately, upon the top of a thrifty shoot of a middle aged and fruit bearing tree; the process being simply to take thrifty shoots, about a quarter of an inch in diameter, and then carefully cut them in a slanting manner clear through, so as to detach about four inches of the top from the rest, making the line of the angle about an inch the stock being cut in the same manner. The backs are then to be carefully united and bound up with yarn.covering the whole with grafting wax, to exclude the air. By this mode, fruit may be obtained in a short period, so as to test its value at an early day; the operation being simple, with scarcely a fear of failure. Horticultural Maga.

A SECOND McLEOD CASE. John S. Hogan, said to be, without mistake, one of the party that destroyed the Caroline near Buffalo, has been arrested at Lockport, N. Y., and was under examination before a magistrate at the latest date. It is supposed, by many that Hogan has been put in the way of arrest, in order to increase the difficcitie s between the United States and Great Britain in view of war. This will not do. Cine. Gaz.

THE AUGUST ELECTION. If we may be allowed to judge from the apa

thy and carelessness manifested by the mass of

the W hig party they have but a slight under

standing of the vast importanceof the approach

ing August election. W e are convinced that if

they felt the importance of the result as they should feel it, instead of this apathy we should see action, vigorous, energetic action, looking to an organization of the party, previous to the day of trial. We would that we could speak to every whig in the country, that we might "stir

up their pure minds by way of remembrance."

Recollect this is no ordinary occasion. The

next Legislature has the electing of a Senator

in Congress for six years. Bear this in mind and then act as if the election of a sound whig depended on you. But there is a still more im

portant duty to be performed by the next Legislature, and upon which perhaps depends the political complexion of the Indiana delegation in Congress for jTears; we mean the districting of the State under the new apportionment. By a system of geremandering and fraud such as

was resorted to in Ohio, in 1839, the Locofocos may so distract the State, should they have a majority, as to secure a majority of that party in Congress from Indiana. That this should be prevented is vastly important, and the only

way in which it can be prevented is by sending

a majority of whigs to the next Legislature. Indiana Courier.

McLEOD CASE NO. 2. This affair is ended. Hogan who was taken has been released by Judge Ransom, and is now in Canada. But the President has very properly called the attention of Congress to the subject by a special message. National questions ought to be settled in the National

Court. It is obvious, unless this be done, that

we may be involved in serious difficulty, and

to prevent this, Mr. Tyler recommends that all cases which involve national questions, be re

ferred at once and only to the Federal Judiciary. The Judiciary Committee has reported a

bill, it is said, to this effect. The message of the President was referred to that committee.

The caseof J. Sheridan Hogan. We learn

from the Niagara Courier that Hogan has been set free by Judge Ransom on the ground of insufficiency of the warrant of arrest.

During the argument before the Justice,

which was a long and able one,the Court Room

was crowded almost to'suffocation with anxious

spectators.

Hogan, it is stated in the Albany papers.made

an affidavit which was read at the trial of Mc-

Leod, that he was in one of the boats engaged

to cut out the Caroline, and that McLeod was not. Cin. Gaz.

Our Currency. We copy into this days pa-

etsev eral articles from various papers in this

Slate upon the subject of Indiana Scrip and Cincinnati Brokers. We have some amongus

who are endeavoring to assist in sustaining our

tnrrency, but a larger proportion have become so used to being rtiled and robbed by Cincinnati

Shavers, that they arc obedient subjects. Ask

them if they take Treasury notes in payment

for goods or debts, they will answer with great

composure that they are only worth 50 per cent

t the brokers office at Cincinnati! Just as if

they were appointed by the Government to

determine the standard value of all money.

But these brokers are gathering over their heads such clouds of indignation, as will soon

hurst in more furious storms than has ever yet

visited their vicinity. And those who encour

age and sustain them arc not altogether held guiltless.

The people have been imposed upon long

enough. And we warn bankers, wrrrr, tnon-

qr tinkers and swindlers to beware how they

rely upon the forbearance of the people, or such scenes will be enacted as will make the

stoutest hearts shudder at the recital.

- MESMERISM. A young lady has been Mesmerised, or animally magnetized, as some would say, at Alton, Illinois, to such an extent that she can't keep awake more than three hours at a time, and when a sleep no one can wake her but the friend who magnatized her. Even her mamatizer can only wake her by placing ber more entirely under his magnetic power for some hours and then by some upward passes of his hand, he succeeds in waking her for a short period. Under this influence th

has become so nervous as to excite serious apprehensions of the worst result her whole system is agitated even in sleep, and her teeth chatter like one affected with an ague fit. The magnetizer, says in a letter to a physician whom he consults, "I am at a loss to conjecture what will be the result of this, at present, fearful state of things,which I have heedlessly and blindly brought on." What is even more unaccountable than all this, the lady, by the magnetic influence, has been endued with the prophetic gift and foretells events to happet to herself with great accuracy. Western Star. for the American, "Claudies If he be not in love with some woman, there is no believing old signs; he brushes his hat o' mornings; what should that bode?

MADISON RAILROAD.

The spirit manifested at the Convention held

a' Columbus on the 10th inst. was hist what

the most ardent friends of the good work would

flare delighted to witness. A determination

plainly shown to complete it, and that too )n the shortest possible time. AH the counties immediately interested were represented, notwithstanding the roads were almost impassable. It was ascertained that nil the eonnties almiff

the line, with the exception, perhaps, of Jennings, would subscribe an amount of stock at

least suiiment to procure the iron: and

Jennings, if the neonle h

sioners refuse to take the amount of stock apportioned to them, patriotic and responsible individuals have pledged themselves that their nou will be forthcoming at the proper time. Consequently the only ground of fear as to the Pro.ecmion of the work is removed. It has never been doubted that every thing that pertoins to the road.except the iron, could be done

Washington, March 8, 1842 To the House of Representatives:

In my message of the 7th of December I sug

gested to Congress the propriety, and, in some

degree, the necessity of making proper provis

ions by law, within the pale of the Constitution, for the removal, at their commencement, and at

the option of the party, of all such cases as

might arise in State courts involving national questions, or questions touching the faithful observance and discharge of the international ob

ligations of the United States, from such State

tribunal to the Federal Judiciary. I am urged to repeat, at this time, this recommendation, by the receipt of intelligence, upon which I can rely, that a subject of Great Britain, residing in Upper Canada, has been arrested upon a

charge of connection with the expedition fitted out by the Canadian authorities, by which the

"Caroline" was destroyed, and will, in all pro

bability, be subjected to trial in the State courts of New York. It is doubtful whether, in this state of things, should his discharge be deman

ded by the British Government, this Govern

ment is invested with any control over the sub

ject until the case shall have reached the court

of final resort of the State of New ork, and

been decided in that Court. And although

such delay ought not, in a national point of

view, to give cause of umbrage to Great Brit

ain, vet the prompt and instant rendering of

justice to foreign nations should fe plaeed a-

mongour highest duties. I cannot, therelore,

in consideration of what properly becomes the United States, and in anticipation of any de

mand from a foreign Government for the dis

charge of one of its subjects, forego the duty of repeating my recommendation to Congress for the immediate adoption of some suitable legislative provision on this subject. JOHN TYLER.

The cost or slander. A Mrs. Copcland, or rather, a Mrs. Copeland's husband, had to pay

87,529 a few days ago, in Ohio, for charging a Mrs. White with stealing her geranium pot. A

verdict for one thousand dollars was first ob

tained in one of the inferior courts but the verdict was set aside because the geranium was

in a nature of a tree, and the taking of a tree

i uac nnltf ZrACrWl!. SI lid 11 Ot l felony. The

..o vuij .. -- .. cause was sent down again was tried, and the counsel for the plaintiff waived the tree and went for the pot. The jury on the 2nd trial were incensed at the quibble, and gave a vindictive verdict 3000, and costs ! A new trial was granted on account of excessive damages. The third trial the jury gave $5000 damages. The defendant in fear of getting into greater difficulty, paid the money and costs.

IN THE GARDEN.

As in this department, the good housewife

should have the direction, we will invoke her

to see that her leige-lord affords her the neces

sary means, physical and pecuniary, to render

it at once a source of pleasure to her, and lion

or to him. Without intending the least reflec

tion upon any one, we must be permitted to in

dulge in the remark, that farmers' gardens are too much neglected. This should not be so,

and ought to be reformed altogether, as there is

no part of an estate calculated, according to its size, to confer so much solid comfort, afford so many substantial necessaries, as well as luxuries, and to reflect so much credit upon its own

er, as a well appointed and properly conducted

garden. Such being the light in which we

view the subject, we shall thus timely take the

liberty of i.ointing such things as in our opin

ion, should now be attended to, and call upon

the ladies of every household to support us

with their powerful aid in carrying our views

into effect. We appeal to them, because we

know that when they plead in a just cause,men

must yield, for it is not in their nature to resist

the claims of right, when proclaimed by that

eloquence of the heart, which so peculiarly be

longs to woman.

Eanv Vegetables. As it should be the ob

ject of every farmer to supply his family with

early vegetables, as we know it is his interest

to do so, and believe it to be his pleasure, we

shall take the liberty of telling him how, at

very trifling expense, and with but little troub

le, he may lay the ground work of a plan by

which he may accomplish this desirable end.

We mean, by making a hot-bed; not with any

costly "lass fixtures, but simply a plank frame,

say twenty-four by four feet, which any hand

on the farm can make, who can drive a nail.

Let the back be twice the height of the front

place it on a warm border facing the south.

Across the frame nail pieces of wood at every interval of 2 feet. This done pile up a sufficient

quantity of short horse dung, and let it remai

a few days to undergo fermentation: then put

about 4 inches deep of this (to be in a dry state) at the bottom of your frame; upon this place to

the depth of 4 inches, dry rich garden or other ! mould, and your hot-bed will have been completed. Divide this into sections, and sow your seed, raking them in with a fine rake, as early cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, egg-plan f, cauliflowers, broccoli, &c. And if you want to surprise our neighbors with early melons, cu

cumbers, or squashes, you may do so by planting seed in small flowerpots and sinking them in, and to the surface of your hot-bed, to be turned out into beds in open culture at the proper period. A bed of the size we have described, will furnish plants enough of all kinds of vegetables named for vour family use, and contribute to

wards their comfort in a degree that will repay

all the trouble and expense a hundred fold.

harms were far too attractive for his resist

ance, tho' truly great is Constantine.

What does he mean by the last line, first

erse,

But Julia! cheer thyself,that many yet remain.'

Many what? many "relentless piercing thorns,"

or many losses yet to be felt, or many "Constantines?" Certainly those "tears that steal

a-down" her "pale calm cheek" ought to be dried up, and her sorrow ought by all means to

cease," cause vy?

She "can bring other captives down,"

And then of a surety her "loving heart" might

be at ease." erily, Julia ought, indeed she

ought to,

"Trust once more to fortunes smiles,"

although fortune is "a changing thing." And

will she not? I know she will "while away her

gloomy hours, another lover" a seek-i-ing.

Friend Constantine, are you the "young Othel

lo" with the "unfolding heart," and I may add

the unfolding lips, and swarthy skin, and call

her your "Julia," uDear Julia," street Julia,

the fair Desdomona? Does Julia in the lan

guage of Desdemona say "she wished that

heaven had made her such a man" as thou art

Constantine? Then why not "Othello like"

exclaim:

"She lov'd me for the dangers I have pass'd

And I lov'd her, that she did Lity them. This only is the witchcraft I have used."

Are you, friend Constantine, the Aaron, and

is Julia a Tamaro? Oh ! no, but rather perchance honest Mr. Bottom, and she fair Tita

nia. Mcthinks I hear her soft, melodious voice,exclaim in accents sweeter far than notes

of softest lute, "Come sit thee down upon this flowing bed,

While I thy amiable cheeks do coy,

And stick musk roses in thy sleek smooth head

And kiss thy fair large ears, my gentle joy."

And anon I fancy I hear in discords jarring.

braving notes, the response, "Where's Peas-

blossom? Scratch my head, Peas-blossom."

But enough of this. I intended merely to

advise your Poet, Mr. Editor, the next time he "replies" to a lady in distress, not to comfort her in this way; for surely it is no consolation

to a broken hearted damsel to be told that other

disappointments arc laid up in store for her,

even though you promise her the afleetions,ine

"unfolding heart" of a Blackamoor, it is too

bad. Respectfully yours, JOHN GILPIN.

Only two weeks since, we mentioned the fact that Daniel Webster had taken the public printing from several Whig papers, and given it to locofoco papers. This conduct we tho't inexcusable in those cases we mentioned, and we still think so. But Daniel Webster, it seems, has gone a little farther in his shameful course, and is not only feeding them from the public crib, those who have been the bitterest

opponents of Harrison and his cabinet, but has

even appointed Bennett, of the New ork Iter ard that prince of blackguards public prin

ter! Mr. Bennett, it is affirmed, is an alien.and has not even declared his intention to become

a naturalized citizen. Every man who reads his paper knows that he is a notorious libeller

of our country and its institutions; that he has no regard fo r morality, no reverence for the

Supreme Being, but is utterly destitute of eve

ry characteristic of a gentleman.

Search the vocabulary of hell, (if there is

such,) and no language can be more shockingly

profane than is to be met with in the coiuros o
