We are certain those who have read it. will lhauk us for publishing it, and those who have never read it, will be well repaid for the time spent. It is the beat burlesque upon the fooleries, expenses aud heartlessuess of fashiouable PARTIES we have ever seen. We know families who are not able to clothe and educate their children not the means of payiug their debts, or the spirit and Industry to collect around them the comforts cf lite, yet spend their wn means, and all they can borrow of their friends, iu trying to ape the rich and heartless portion of the world, by parties. Is that mail's or woiaau's hesrl right who makes an expensive party lu a rented house, ou articled bought ou redtt, or money for v. Men their creditors are suffering. Yet we consututly see these things passing around us, without exciting our special wouder. But the folly of these things is so well shown i tn the story of Mrs. Washington Potts, that w will not enlarge upou the suhject Krntarkv tute Onmition. The Whig State Convention f Kentucky sonvened on the 22J or February. They nominated the Hon. John J. Crittenden for Governor, and appointed Taylor delegites to a National Convention. Mr. Crittenden is now in the U. S. Senate, a station far superior to tint of Governor. Yet we have no doubt he will s far sacrifice his feelings as to accept the nomination. If he bonld, we hope Henry Clay will be elected to fill his place In the U. S. Senate. The Taylor State Convention met on the srue day, aud nominated the same man lor Governor, aud adopted the same electors thit were selected by the regular whig eouveution. Atl tight! settli by 'hlrarrm. A Mrs. Simmons of Cincinnati, died on the 34th nit. from the effects of Chloroform, administered by Dr. Meredith, for the purpose of extracting a tooth. She was iu every other respect in good health, but death commenced in two mlnotrs from the time she commenced inhaling the chloroform, and waa dead in ten minutes. We acknowledge ignorance of this new gent used to benumb the sensibilities, although various accounts of its wonders are daily published in the papers. The Indinnn Trwor. Tn another culumu will be found a communication from a Kntuckian, vindicating the bonor and bravery of the Indianians. We rer'et that any necessity requires this indication. Mortifying, indeed, is it that troops who stood as firmly, fought as bravely, and bled as freelv as did the Incitna boys, at Ruena Vista, should oe compelled, after their return home, to vindicate their honor from the foul slanders of their companions iu arms. I?t yet more humiliating Is it thai theae foul aspersions should come from Kenturki.ms, who were saved, ou that bloody field, from almost total annihilation, by Indiana Intrepidity ami bravery. The 3d Indiana Regiment, never quaiVd before the showers of iron bail was never repulse,!, aud which, too, did nore fighting than any other Regiment, and for them now to bear the mean and contemptible tusuits, of "Indiana cowardice." is too to be borne patiently.

Since the emigration of tho latter to Oregon City, the practice of marryiag squaws has fallen somewhat Into disrepute, as one would naturally conclude. The character of tbe Indians is represented by Mr. Carey to be very dissolute. They imbibe all the vice, of the white, without any of their virtues.
