AMERICAN. . BUOOKVIL LE, INDIANA. t'RIDAT, FEBRUARY 23,1S44. FOR PRESIDENT, II E X R V C I. A V, of liy. WHIG ELECTORS FOR INDIANA. For the Stat Henry S. Lane, f Jos. G. Marshall. 1st dist J. A. Brackexridge, of Warrick. James Collins, of Floyd. John A. Matson, of Franklin. Sam. W. Parker, of Fayette. Hugh O'Neal, of Marion. Geo. G. Dlnn, of Lawrence. Richard W. Thompson, of Vigo. Albert L. Holmes, of Carroll. Horace P. Biddle, of Cass. Lewis G. Thompson, of Allen. 2nd 3rd 4 th 5th Gih 7ih 8th 9th 10th ORGANIZATION. Now that the organization of the Whigs of Franklin county has commenced, it would not be amiss to offer a few suggestions upon the subject. We must recollect at all times, that our clubs, meetings, and conventions, are for laudable and important purposes, and not merely for amusement. One of the great objects of our lives should be not only to perpetuate our free institutions, but to have them administered in the spirit, so that the cruelty, oppressions, tyranny, and corruptions, which are perpetrated in the holy name of freedom, shall not alienate the hearts ofotir people from the great privileges of the human family. We believe it is our duty to watch with unwearied zeal, the encroachments upon our libeities. They may be frittered away by assumptions, by arbitrary cons! rucJ ions. &c, until we have nothing but the name left. In a Republic one man is not greater than another. The people are the sovereigns, and the rulers Iheir subjects. Every man has a duly to perform which he cannot delegate to another, and in the neglect of which, lie is criminal in the ex. treme. He is virtually saying that the boon purc hased by the blood ofour ancestors, is not worth an effort to preserve. Our Jaws have wisely provided that-one cannot vote for another. No one has a right to say he has nothing to do with politics. He is virtually saying that those institution which guaranleesto him ihe privilege of worshipping God accoiding to I I lie riiflritoc : . . iwiMicure. ana give mm ihepiixilegeof assisting in selecting our rulers, are not worth his rare or attention. Every one who says lie has nothing to do with politics, is either opposed to our institutions, and the liberty which he enjoys; or lie is a drone; determined to luxuriate upon the toil and indusiry of others. No man's calling is too sa cred, too pure, too important, or too pressing. to excuse him from exerting his influence in favor of the amelioration of our race. If good ",Cn ' aWon ol,r political iffiiirs to those uhom ,h"-v Ba" are ft for nothing- dse, then, 'ne'eed, is the future obscured in dark clouds of dread and doubt. rtlltnc' im aha 1 lIir. fll,nr . . . . .. , ', ll,e iiniire, ana by readni'.' the n:it hici.iru .,r ., ,, .newno,nomancanjudgeorthe chance or ' , "e " pon a" ..... u.,) ne.e, wnetitcr rich or poor, reffard essoft hrirrnllin.T r urn ...o r," a,lua,,u,, lw 1 " UO MIS DUTY.

years. . ... . it w.ii be seen that he is to be hung on the 22nd of Jarch next in this place. From the nature and circumstances of the crime, there appears lobe but little disposition in the com-! munity here to petition for executive pardon. We think the criminal lias very little to expect from such a source. It was such a murder as seldom occurs in the annals of crime. Men often kill travellers and strangers for their money they often kill their acquaintances and neighbors in quarrels but it is seldom a man kills his intimate friend and companion f ir so small a pittance of money. It is a rare ca?e, and one of the deepest and darkest die. There are no palliating circumstances in the case. We have a law in our Statute books giving to the Governor the power to change the sentence of death to that of Penitentiary for life, in case "alien the circumstances are sufficient to warrant the interposition of Executive clemency."
