AMERICAN. BltOOKVILLE, INDIANA. FRIDAT, DECEMBER 6, 1814. FROM THE EDITOR. Indianapolis, Dec. 2d 1844. The Legislature of Indiana convened in the State House this d3y at 10 o'clock. The Senate as called to order by Lieut. Gov. Bright, when N'm. T. Otto was elected Principal Secretary of the Senate on the first ballot. Mr. Otto is a first rate Whig, and an excellent officer. John Grant was elected Assistant Secretary on the first ballot. We are not acquainted with Mr. Grant, but he is represented as being a very worthy young man, from Northern Indiana. He is also a whig. Mr. Martin (loco foco) was elected door-keeper. The Sunate organized in a short time, and, as the House was not organized and could not proceed to busines, they adjourned until 9 o'clock Tuesday morning. In point crtalents the Senate is respectable containing a large number of talented, business men. The House was called to order by Mr. English, the Clerk of the last House, when ninety-eight members answered to their names. David Hillis, of Jefferson, and G. P. R. Wilson of Harrison , both Whigs, are detained at home by sickness, and it is feared that Mr. Hillis will not recover. The House, after being jworn. proceeded to elect a Speaker. The following are the badoiings: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
A. C. Stevenson(W) J. S. Simonson, L. F. A- L. Robinson, L. F. M. Stapp, whig, L. Gregory, whig, W. Herod, whig, V. Shanks, loco, G. B. Tingley, whig, A. T.Whight, loco, Scattering,

quhar'a name was announced as a candidate. The locos now seeing the whigs in trouble in changing horses, announced again the name of English. OnthelGth ballot, when it was known that Farquhar would be elected, the locos again withdrew English and scattered.When the 16ih balloting was counted out it was found that 100 votes had been deposited when there were only U8 members. This created considerabledifficulty. But as Farquhar had received 4 majority, he would have been elected without the two Plaquemine, the Speaker declared him duly elected. The decision of the speaker was appealed from, and various other motions made. But finally they were all withdrawn and Mr. Farquhar appeared and was sworn, and the House adjourned till two o'clock.
Aiier ainner the House proceeded to elect
an Assistant Clerk, which resulted in the
choice of Mr. Davis of Flod,ktl.e nominee of
the whig caucus. The House then proceeded to the selection of a door-keeper, w hich result
ed, on the 7th ballot, in the election of Mr.
Tilden of White county, a whig. The principal competitors were Berryhill of Tippecanoe,
and U. C. Hackleman of Rush.
These ballotings, taking up two whole days,
it is now supposed the Governor's Message
will not piobably be delivered until Thursday,
and we shall not therefore be able to give it
in the American this week.
The Presidential Electors meet in the Cepitol
to-morrow, so that little or no business will be done until Thursday. It is strposed the elec
tion for Judges will come cn about Friday,and
for U. S. Senator the first of next week. No
calculation can be made at this hour who will
be our Senator. The eleciion of Judges is cre
ating considerable interest. Messrs. Holland, Ryman,Macy, Cushing, &c, are hero pressing their claims, and M. C. Eggleston, and J. C. Eggleston, are considered candidatp
C. F. C.
Having failed to elect, the House adjourned till 2 o'clock, at which time it proceeded to ballot as follows:

And Mr. Stevenson having received a major-
ity of all the votes on the 10th ballot, he was declared elected, and was conducted to the
chair, and briefly returned thanks for the hon-
or conferred upon him, and asked the co-operation of the members in sustaining the rules
of the House, and the honor and interests of
the State. Mr. Stevenson is from Putnam co.,
ann is a man of respectable talents, and gentle-
manly in deportment. He is what we consid-
er a sound, sensible, judicious, and safe man.
He was elected by the Whigs, as can be seen
by reference to the ballotings. He was their
choice, and much credit is due the Whigs for
its selection. The House then proceeded to elect a Princi-
pal Clerk, and balloted until dark, without making any choice, when they adjourned until Tuesday morning. The candidates for Clerk
were English of Scott, Morris of Marion, Ward
of Henry, and several others.
The House ot Representatives is almost de
void of truly great men. The ablest men in the House are Tingley of Rush, Claypool of Fayette, Robinson of Carroll, &c. In point of talent it is inferior to any House of Representatives assembled in Indiana for 10 years. Indianapolis. Dec. 3d, 1814. The protracted ballotings for Speaker,Cleiks and Door Keeper, prevented the organization of the House of Representatives until this evening. The House was two days electing four officer. In our letter of yesterday we gave the ballotings for Speaker. On yesterday afternoon the followingj ballotings were had for Principal Clerk, to-wit:

iMtefrom Texas. The New Orleans Trop
ic of the 13ih inst. quotes the Clarksville (Tex
as) Northarn Standard of the 16th ult. to the
follow ing effect:
"By the Western mail we learn that President Houston has received another communi
cation from Santa Anna, which is said to be of a parific character. It is stated that the contemplated invasion of Texas by Mexico is aban
doned, and we believe it is settled fiat England
and France have offered to obtain an acknowledgment of our indeptndence, on condition that Mexico ehall hive the right to renew the war w henever w e offer ourselves to the United States. Red Lander. It is rumored that President Houston intends immediately to convoke an extra session of Congress." Ib. Should this statement prove true, where can
the Polk and Texas party turn for shelter? If Texas should thus neatly slip through their fingers, what can the unfortunate South do for itself? The other news from this ill-starred Republic is, that two men, named Flynn and Nullens, have been stealing Negroes and dealing in counterfeit Coin. Journal.

sixth ballot, it

about dark, and very little prospect of a choice, the House adjourned until this morning. After the adjournment last night, the whigs met in caucus to select Clerks, which resulted in the selection of A. W. Morris tor Principal Clerk, and Mr. Davis of Floyd, as Assistant Clerk. Under this organization of the Whigs,
the House met this morning, when the follow
ing ballotings took place, to-wit:

As will be seen on the 9th ballot the locos

convinced that they could not elect Morris,

MISSOURI SENATORS. Col. Benton and Judge Atchison were reelected to the U. S. Senate, on the 20th, by the Missouri Legislature. The former received 101, the latter 73 or eight more votes than was necessary to elect him. The Republican, referring to the eleciion, says:
"We have not analyzed the vote very close
ly, nut believe that six or seven Loco Focos vo
ted against his election, and we are told he
might have been defeated, if English, or any
man in his party, had had the nerve to stand
up in opposition to him. So far as we can
learn, the result has rather pleased the Whigs,
as it has certainly mortified a good many of the
Loco Focos."
The St. Louis Reporter adds:
"We announce to the Democracy of the na
tion, that Col. Benton has been re-elected to
the Senate by the Legislature of Missouri, with
a full knowledge of the fact, that it is his deter
m in at ion to assail James K. Polk, if he shall
redeem the pledge he he has given to the A merican people to advocate immediate annex
ation of Texas to this country, or fail to re
pudiate every Democrat who urged the negotia
tion of the Texas treaty, He took high ground
on these points, in his public speeches; denoun
ced those who thought it right to drop Mr. Van
Buren as base intriguers, proclaimed the friends of annexation disunionists and declared that the
members of the Baltimore convention weuld
be consigned to oblivion,"

Xatireism and Loco focoism. The N. York
Journal of Commerce, a Locofoco paper, in the guise of neutrality; and one whose attacks on the Catholics have beer, more envenomed than any put forth from any other source, acknow ledges since the election that "Nativeism" originated w ith the Locofoco party, but expresses the opinion that it cannot prevail to any extent in the country and must injure any partv that adopts it ! After doing all it could to promote Ihp spread of Nativeism, undoubtedly with the design of brining it to operate against the Whigs, the Journal of Commerce now exposes its own hypocricy and insincerity, by indirectly declaring against it. The opinion is still avowed that theie ought to be a change in the naturalization laws, but the impossibility of securing such a change, affords 3 plausible excuse for abandoning ground that it has only
occupied with the wors t ofmotives. Those of
our mends who are inclined to run into Na
tiveism or "American Republicanism,'' fas it is ... ....t. 1 . . . '
now siyieuj may profit by tins lessin. They will see what degree of sympathy thev are
likely to receive from those who can only hope to succeed by misleading and deceiving the
naturalized citizens or the country. Let the acknowledgment as to the origin of Nativeism
be recollected, as the Journal of Commerce is
favorite authority with the locofoco leaders. Doily State Jour. The effort making to tail on the Whig car
ty of this country to Native Republicanism is
not likely to prove successful. The Albany
(N. Y,) Journal, and the New York Tribune, leading and prominent Whig papers of that
Mite, openly reject tbe embraces of the old federat device. The Ohio State Journal, the principal organ of the Whig party there also repudiates all connexion with the Natives. In our own fState, too, we find no liberal Whig editor encourngeing the bans of matrimony between the gallant but defeated Whig party and ihe old bawd of 1798. The Whig Rifle, the Brookville American, "and the Lafayette Journal(all prominei t papers.) advise against any compromises with the Native American party. We expect, however, to see a few weak minded editors bite at the new "bait," and advocate the exploded doctrines of fedeialism. They will, to be sure, do no harmexcept make more manifest the remarkable greenn ess for which they have long been distinguished. The majority ofthe Whig party will stand on their own ground, letting the new humbuggers go their w ay to find the same ignoble grave that swallowed up Hartford Convention Federalism and Anti-Masonry. Let big cities, big editors, and big fools lash themselves into 'passions and tatters" about this grand competition in politics, the mass of theAmeiican People will remain unmoved
oyinecaniand excitement of Nativeism. A quarrel about the places of streets sweeps, coal measures, and watchmen, in New York and Philadelphia, will hardly make the sober-mind
ed citizens of the country abandon the name of
N hig or Democrat, or changed laws sanctioned by Wa6hinotom and 1 efferson, and tasted by the experience of nearly a half a centu ry. II "abash Express.

The Cincinnati Herald (Abolition) wants to know if it will have our help to elect an antiSlavery President in '48. No, sir; probably not. So long as yoa and your clan do your best to defeat such anti-Slavery men as John Q. Adams, William Slade, Joshua R.

now have had an anti-Texas, anti .inn-ilic

one who is just the opposite on all these questions, and who voted against even a slaveholder's proposition for the more effectual suppression ol the 4ncan Slave Tiade. You, Third-
Party wire-workers! forced this man upon us, instead of the only anti-Texas candidate who could possibly be elected. On your guilty heads shall rest the curses of unborn generations! Riot in your infamy and rejoice in its triumph, but never ask us to unite with you in any thing! We prefer Calhoun and McDuffie lo you. They at least fight manly battle, and win what they win fairly.
