BltOOKVILLK, INDIANA. FRIDAY, 03T- 22, 1847. FOR PRESIDENT IX 1348, Grn.ZACIIAKV TAYLOli. "In no cae can I permit myieif lo be tbe ran dil.ite of snv p:'"t. or j.ie',1 niv-u-lf lo party i-heme ." - The .m:l of ail parties, and the National rood would be my jreat and aliorbiu j aim."' Ge h. Tuyiar Celthration. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Lad a procession iind public adJress in our village on Tuesday last. Tbe number present, their appearance, and the address, were all creditable to that honorable and charitable fraternity. Large Corn. Mr. Martin Quick has left at our office two ears of corn. One measures 14J inches in lengah,7 1-2 in circumference, and weighs one pound and ten ounces. The other 13 inches long, 8 iuches in circumference, and weighing1 two pounds two ounces. Another. Mr. Conn, Las sent us an ear liileen inches long sound, rip corn, weighing one pound, twelve ounces. Outrage Th Sheriff of this county, Mr. William Robinson, and who is an excellent and efficient officer, went into Hamilton county, Ohio, to arrest a fugitive from jutic frem Henry county, Ind. He found, arrested, had Lim honed end was bringing him back, when he was stepped by a mob, among whom was a lawyer of Cincinnati. Mr. Robinson was beaten, and finally held, until a horse was furnished the prisoner, and he was allowed to escape. After he bid been gone some time, Robinson was released, when he mounted his horse and put after him. Alter a chase of some miles, he overtook him in the streets of Cincinnati, arrested. took hiia before a justice of the peace, and committed to the jail of Cificinnati. Various indignities and insults were offered Mr. Robinson, and he was much scratched end bruised, but he faithfully discharged his duty, for which he deserves the thanks ot every lover of order and the supremacy of the laws. The Canal. On our first page will be found the decision of jut'ge McLane, in tbocaseof Valette vs. the W. W. Canal Company. His decision prohibits the company from redeeming any of tbe 5 or 5(1 dollar bonus issued this summer for the purpose of repirinsr the Canal. The citizens all a ion r the line Lave promised to pay certain sums on the 1st of Jan., for which they have given their notes in denominations cf five dollars, for w hich they ,nre to receive ciiial bonds, receivable for tolls and water rents. Rut this decision prevents tbe cotnpany ftiin receiving thm. The consequence is, many cf the citizens will refuse to pay their buuds. as the conipauy cannot comply with her pari uf thi; contract, ihu creating end hits trouble and litigation, and great loss to the poor laborer, in whose hands many of these individual notes now are, having received tl.ein in payment for labor. This too, all grows out of the insatiate, vampire appetite of money brokers. 'A Fire. The large flouring mills of Warwick & Burksdale were destroyed by fire, at Richmond, Ya., on the 10th inst Thpse mills were valued at from 150.000 to 200,l!00 doIUrs. Considerable other property was destrrypd. Schuyler Cotfux, Esq., of south IJaisd, is a candidate for Principal Clerk of the House of Representatives of IiidUna. the pproncliing Session. Mr. Colfax has nil tbe mechanical, mental, physical, social and moral qualities to fit bim eminently lor that office. ViJical On our first page is a sensible and interesting article upon the subject o Calomel. It is well for the people to inform themselves upon such subjects, so that they can guard against the ignorance and 6tupidity of the horde of quack doctors who ate swarming over our country. In this sweeping denunciation, men of intelligence, of sense, and of rndical learning, who have by long and arduous stiiily and application, become somewhat acquainted with the diseases of the human body, will take no offence. They know too well, that it were better if one half of those w ho call themselves doctors, "were in the deep ocean buried " Daniel tfebster made a great sjteech at the receut Massachusetts Whig Slate Convention. In 6peakingof the slavery exler.sien question, he said; '1 never have, never thall, 1 never w ill vote for any further annexation to this cuuntry, with a 6lave representation upon it, or in it.' '1 have not seen one respectable, fair-minded man of the South, who objects to the North using a!i its power to prevent the increase of the slave power. I have found none so unreasonable as to dispute our right to i.Lis. With the same firmness with which I would resist any augmentation of slavery, I shall not endanger the constitution by in terfering with slavery, as it is now established in tka States. What is established is fixed. We cann it go back. Rut for the future, I arc fbr looking out for our rights.' LATE ELECTIONS The late elections have resulted about as follow?: Georgia There every reason for believing that Gergo Washington A"a poieon Bonaparte TWns, ihe De.morraiic candidate, is elected hy a sraalf majority.

The W big State Convention of New ork lias published an address and resolutions which breathe the true Whig spirit and doctrines. We endose them entire. I au ' concerns tue .Mexican war, tLe acquisition of territory, the ejbjrct of slavery, and of the anti republican tendency of the one man power in our government. The whigs of Ntw York sustain our flag in whatever land or upon whatever sea it Ifl jats, if it be cent there by our constituted government. This is the language of jevery true American Leart. The wloga of New Yark are in favor of withdrawing our army from Mexico so soon as it can be done -onora tWy. To this we respond amen. The following is from the New York vhig address EXTRACTS. Fello-v Citizeas Disguise the Mexican War is sophistry may, the great truth (cannot be put down, mir lied down, that jit exists because of the Annexation of j Texas; that from such a cause we predict ed uch a consequence would follow, and that, but fir lliatcause.no war would have existed at all. Disjiji-e its intents, purposes and consequences as sophistry may struggle to do, the farther sreat truth cannot be hidden, that its main object is ihe conquest of a miket for slaves, and that " "-"" mojf arouud. ngtit ur.cjer, and (all lor, is to be desecrated from its holy character of Libfrty and Emancipation into an errand of Bondage nd Slavery. In i.bedience to the laws, and in a due and faithful submission to the regularly constituted Govetnmitofour Constitution, we w ill rally bv jand defend our flag, on whatever soil or ! whatever sea it is unfurled; btil before ! high Heaven w e protest asain?t the misj sioii on w hich ii is sent, and we demand j its lecail to the true and proper bounds of j our country, as soon as in honor it can be j brought hom. Wp protest, too. in ihe i name of the Rihis of Man, and of Liber i ly, against ihe farther extension of Slavery j in North America. The curse w hich our mother countiy inflicted upon us, in spite of out fathers' remonstrances, we demand shall never blight the virgin toil of Ihe ! North Pacific. We feel that it would be a horrible mockery for the columns of Anglo-Saxon immigration lo be approach j ing and looking down upon the dark, bej nighteJ region of Asiatic despotism, w ith j Africans enslaved under the banners that j had their march, as wr stwaid the Star of j Empire lakes its wa.' We have no de j sire to infringe upon any one of the compromises of the Constitution. The Con- ' stiiulion as it i, and the Country as it is, are tot)d enough for us. We Wilts' of the North are Coriser vatifes of the Consliliition. in its essence and in its every word and loiter. The fell and mischievous results of Abolitionism are no where better understood or more condemned thau in New York. But we w ill not pour out Ihe blood of our Country men; if we can help it, lo turn a Free into a Slave soil. Wewiil not spend from fifty lo an hundred millions of dollars per j ear to make a Siave market for any portion of our eoonti) meii. W e w ill never, for such a purpose, consent to run up an untold National Debt, and saddle our posterity v. ith l'und mon1y I, t r,. ... , so, i nx-iioKfrs, i ax-l-allif m-is, laj nig an excise of an impost mi tvety 'liing they ta-te, touch, or !te by.

Now fellow-cilizens of atl parlies, in vindication if these important principles, and in the lime of such t war as this, is it not your duty, one and all, to act in the forthcoming State Election?

FURTHER MEXICAN NEW S. Hanging of the I vrtign Ltgiun Mex ican Indignation. The New Orleans Picayune uT the 0th inst., cor.iaius the follow ing highly interesting article w ith translations from the Mexican papers, We yesterday found opportunity lo

It is in the ! form of an address to the Mexican people. w uhot.t any signature, but evidently par laMii" in some nieasuie oi an olticui! charaeter. W e pive a translation i f tl.e whole i document, though we have not a doubt that the circumstances of the execution are grossly exaggerated. It gives us the ' exact r um' ct hun and otlierw ise punish-1 ed: j Me.ricans Among the Emopean volun-1 leers w hom the American army has hir- j ed to kill us, there are many unfortunate j men w ho are convinced of the injustice of j this war. who profess the san e Roman j Catholic religion it hich we profess, but j who being harrassed by the misery which prevails in Europe from the want f employment and the failure of crops have consented to enlist. Some of these men, abjuring their errors and following ihe noble impulses of their hearts, have passed over to our army to defend our just cause. From these, Lis Excellency the President termed the Foreign Legion, know n under the name of the Compan y of St. Patrick. At La Angostura and at Churubusco they bore themselves with ihe highest intrcpidiu. end after the enemy hid gnined possession of this last point, w hich was only after the defenders had exhausted their last catriilges, they were made prisoners. The Generals of the American army, w ho cannot count upon their soldiers in a war so iniquitous save through the influence of acts of ferocity, were determined to shoot these Irishmen. Scarcely wag this known in this city before every heart was fi led with horror at the thought. His Excellency, the Minister of Relatians. in a touching letter to the English Con8'i the est-niHble. lady of her Brllanic .Majesl)' Minister, various private individuals, both Mexicans and foreigners, we ourselves, and even the ladies of families residing at Tacuhaya, interceded for these brave iiin; and we expected that if they could not be pnrAoned,they w otild at lea?t be spared capital punishment. It would have been deemed base and repugnant to the laws of civilization as practiced in modern wars to offer the

bloody spectacle of the execution of these ftber lo him one day. '-Harriet coniinnien; and yet it could have been pnlli.ited I ties single. The girl is handsome and Ihen to a certain extent by ihe part which t!.ese j she is to have a fortune; even in this scanmen took in the defence of Churubusco; l"'in-l town, not a creature dare l iilthey had no share whatever in the breathe the slightest imputation against slaughter which was made the d ry before! her yet she is getting to le an old yesterday upon the heights of the King's i maid."

ing them ihat they died "by inches,'1 strangled by their own weight, the mode adopted being such that their horrible agony lasted more than one hour. A spectacle worthy of such men, or rather of deTions escaped from hell! This they did with eighteen of these unhappy men. and among tht-m the brave Captain Reilly, whose head they stuck upon a pike and planted at Churubusco. To six others, who proved that they had not volunteer ed but been impressed, they gave two hundred lashes each, and compelled them to dig the graves of their companions! Mexicans! these are tbe men w ho call ns barbarians and say they come to civilize us: these are the men who have plundered the houses of Ihe surrounding vil lages, who have stolen children from their fall,-jw, who have slept in the niches de- ' voled to th sacred dead, wh have, with blasphemous revelry, cl uhed themselves in the ornaments of the altars, w ho have j throw n upon ihe ground the body of Je- I sus Christ, and have made themselves j drunk in drinking out the sacred vessels. Accursed may they be of all Christians, as they are of God! Countrymen: The Supreme Government commanded its commissioners, a yon have seen it already pnbli-heil, that they should inquire of ill ir commissioners first of all why they had brought war upon our republic with blood and fire? what injuiies we have done them thai they shou'd t1 us seek lo revenge themselves? Their mode of concealing their j confusion ai not being able lo reply to these inquiries, and of satisf ing theu displeasure because we would not ciiii-ont to an tgnomi hions pence, has been to light up anew ihe flames of war, to send us from the Kino' Miil day before yesterday our assassinated countrymen, who had in no manner uffcnded them, and to glut their diabolical rage upon Ihe defenceless mm whom ihey had in their power.

Mexico, Sept. 10, ISI7. The Mxeicans appear in a great measure lo have laid asiJe the contemptible boasting strain in which they formerly spoke of Amei icruis hefore they had tried our prowess in the field.

The Guanajuato official approves this determination of the Central Government, and tenders the assistance of that State, in money and men, to ihe full cx tent of its resources. From the Slate of Jjlico. loo, we have ''e accounts. The official proclamations, which were issued upon the receipt of the news of the battle of Chtirubtisco, or an Angel as the Mexicans term il, breathe war to Hie knife. They must "ever lay dow n their arms so long as a slnule American pollutes the soil of the cnintry; their remains must be consigned to the same earth in which repose the victims of Palo Alio, Resaca, Monterey, Angostura, terro Gordo and San Angel the enumeration is not ours; Providence has reserved for Jalisco the honor of hti miliaiing the American pride. Let ns, says the Governor, give the world occasion to say, ' Jalisco was the cradle of the liberty of the Mexican Republic, and the tomb of the conquerers of the North."' But in case the issue of the struggle should be unpropitious, il only remains for the Jaliscans to find a coin mmi grave with their enemies, and an admiring posterity will exclaim.

Miss Harriet Selwood w as the richest heiress in her native low n; but she had already completed her tw eny.-sevenih jear, and beheld all her young friends united to men whom she at one time or other discarded.
