would be adopted, to restore the prosperity of
me nation, i need not say how cruelly, in some important respects, all have been disap
pointed, uur actual condition may be describ
ed in a few words. Instead nf mutual cnnll.
dence between the acting President and Congress, there is mutual distrust. Instead of his
throwing himself upon the principles and the party that elevated him, he makes war upon both. Instead of harmony and co-operation, there is discord and opposition. A President without a party, and parties without a Presi
dent ! A President, denouncing his friends and
courting his political opponents, who, in their turn, without entertaining for him the least respect or confidence, give him flattery and
praise enough, just to deceive and delude him. A President, who, affecting to soar in an atmos
phere above that of all parties, and to place
himself upon the broad and patriotic founda
tion of the whole nation, is vainly seeking, by a culpable administration of the patronage of the
uovernment, to create a third party! This, gentlemen, is a faithful picture of the present posture of our National Councils. There may be those who will think that it would be most prudent not to exhibit it to the gaze of the world. But I believe that public virtue, and the public interests, are always better subserved by promulging rather than con
cealing the truth. And, accustomed, as I have been to its language, throughout my whole life,
I trust that the precious privilege, of fearlessly uttering it, will abide with me during the short emnant of my days.'
Administrator's Notice. WTOTICE is hereby given that Letters of Administration on the estate of Samuel Tuller, deceased, late of Franklin County, Indiana, have this day been granted to the undersigned, by the Clerk of the Probate Court of said County. Those having claims against the said estate must present the same duly authenticated within one year, and those indebted must make immediate payment. The estate is supposed to be solvent.

TO THE FRIENDS OF SACRED MUSIC. There will be a meeting of the friends of Sacred Music at the Seminary in Brookville, Ind., on the 23d of April, 1842, (being the fourth Saturday in that month) at 1 o'clock, for the purpose of organizing a County Musical Association. The object of this Association is for mutual improvement. ALL friendly to such au insti tution are requested to attend and assist in con certing measures for its success. NEW LINE.

'oah Noble. We understand that this gen.
joan's health has become so precarious as to
advisable to change climate. By the advice
physicians he has gone to the Island of Cu-
i where it is probable he may remain most of
: summer. The duties and anxieties of pub-
;life hare been too much for his feeble con
iation, endowed as he is with principles of
Justry and ardent temperament. Go where will, he carries with him the good wishes
si prayers of many a steadfast friend.
FURTHER FROM TEXAS. On the 22d ult. the steam packet Neptune arrived at New Orleans, bringing Galveston dates
to the 20th. In as few words as possible we
give all the news: The army of 14,000 Mexicans turns out to have been only a predatory band of some 800 or 1,000, whose object was plunder, annoyance, and to break up a clandestine trade that was go
ing on extensively along the frontier. The
principal depot for the goods was at San Anto-
nio.and this place was therefore made the point of attack. After robbing the town, the Mexicans as if they had accomplished all they came for, commenced a retreat. They will no doubt be followed with celerity, and loaded as they
are, with booty, must be overtaken by their exasperated pursuers.
Gen. Burleson, at the head of 1700 men was
pressing on to overtake the Mexican force re
tiring from San Antonio, with every expecta-
E. D. John. This individual is now in Tex-
a where he has opened a Banking establish

ictively engaged at something. Throw him as !
often as you please, and he always strikes erect tion of being able to do so, and with the deter
mination of not returning until he should be
able to meet with something able to drive him
upon his feet. The nature of his banking at
this time consists of checks or drafts on the
larrenceburgh Branch of the State Bank of
Indiana, which he pays out in Texas, but we ire informed he has no funds at Lawrence-
orgh to meet them. But we discover he has
pade such arrangements that his checks are

Hosan, who was a short time ago arrested

T
all whom it mav concern !
lliOSC who liave had account running for
back. The rest of the Texas forces, amounting to at least an equal number,were concentrating
rapidly for his support.
So confident are the citizens of Galveston
that they will be able to defend themselves if attacked,that they have furnished a quota of 250
men to aid the military operations elsewhere.
The most important news of all is, that the
President now coincides entirely with the universal wish of the people to invade Mexico. All
reluctance on his part, which arose from his unwillingness to believe that no reliance could be placed upon the word of Santa Anna, has
been removed by the publication of the Hamil
ton and Bee correspondence, and by other information recently received from Mexico; and he now goes with those who go farthest in fa
vor of war measures. -
Commodore Moore has entire "command of
the gulf or Mexico, and the whole Texas fleet
will soon be in active service without cost to government.
We can glean nothing more of interest.
There had been no fighting. The Mexicans
had retired from Texas, and it was determined
to pursue them. President Houston has re solved to carry the war into Mexico.
Text Book. If any of our brethren of the I
pill have any surmises that hereafter thev
itthave any use for a text book of low, filthy blackguardism, we would advise them to file
a,ray a few of the last numbers of the two VeVay papers. They have sunk a few degrees
wer " that scale than any of their predeces
sors, and have brought into use an abundance of I
w'y words which cannot be found in any oth infamous vocabulary.

THE TRUE DOCTRINE.
The Whigs have long been too modest.

no feelings or interest in common with the

no compunctions in terming him a traitor

For the American. SCRIBLINGS No. 4. To an uncaged Bird. Sweet bird ! thou charmer of my ear, I love thy warbling notes to hear, While perched upon the bush or tree, And from the cruel cage set free. Sing on, thou soother of my care, While soaring in the balmy air, Thy music to my ear is sweet, Thy presence I will always greet. Let gentle zephyrs waft thee near, Let me again thy Carroll's hear, Fly near, and light upon some spray, And let me view thy foim so gay. No cruel cage is here prepared, Thy rightful freedom to retard; No ! I would scorn to fetter thee, Or in the cage thy form to see. Come then, and let thy music fall, Upon my cottage low and small; Free from the cruel wiry grate Sing unmolested to thy mate. JULIA. Brookville, April 5th, 1842. ADDRESS TO THE SAME BIRD. BY ONE JOHN SMITH. Sweet bird, thou charmest her, Sweet Julia, thy rival songster, While perched upon the tree, And warbling forth thy melody. Aye, Julia sayeth sing on, Thy music to her ear is sweet; Then bring forth thy sweetest song, And lay it at her feet O that I could be a nightingale, Or a little blue tom-tit, I'd sing to Julia all night long, And in her bosom sit . O, then a cage in Julia's heart Would be my Eldorado, From which I'd warble forth My sweetest de-didle di do. And whilst I'd sing my plaintive lay, And flinty hearts subdue, Then Julia would in chorus jom, With a cock-a-doodle-do. Brookville, April 12, 1842.

LOOK TO YOUR INTEREST. flpHE Subscriber having permanently loca---ted himself in the town of Brookville, would inform the citizens of Franklin and the adjoining counties, that be is now prepared to do all kinds of Painting in the neatest and most fashionab!e manner. He has had considerable experience in the business, having for a number of years worked iu Cincinnati and other places. As he intends to work on reasonable terms, and take a part of his pay in the produce of the country, it will be to the advantage of every person wishing painting done to give him a call. He is also prepared to paint signs, and all kinds of ornamental painting, in the most fashionable manner. It is a well known fact that houses last much longer, and look a great deal better when they are painted, therefore it is the interest of every person to get it done. G. W. RYAN. REFERENCES.
