The Trmpcrnnre QuraMen. We have received an able and sensible commaulolion from Madison, lnd. unon thesnhiBet temperance. It is in the right spirit, and will well repay any one, (either for or ag.tiu.t; for reading it. it will be published. IN'iam, We received a letter from Indianapolis on Friday evening last, expressing astonishment at the manner in which the whig papers in Indiana tiad let Bright and Whitcomh escape for their conduct relative to the compromise measures; -caiufr me nope mat we would at least dnAnL T .. a .1 ... dui me writer in his over anxiety forgo two thy, to.w:-,o s.gn hi, name to T,kn l 7 th:Pftne:; We Mi-e 7o walk a J ,'" ' " T ' ' h'"n to walk a little more perppndicu U,r in future A m... ;n .

Some weeks since, in a drunken spree, a German by the name of Emsweller assanlted, and o bruised Chancey Jenks, in Posey township, that he died in a few days. The County Commlss.onera have offered two hundred dollars reward for his apprehension. It is probable he W.ll be brought back, when the county will pay ome f 25, r 50 to a lawyer to clear him of ,he charge, and not pay a cent to prosecute him. If brought back, after laying in jail a year or two, tai i r tar tl. . .

He may as well hang up tis fiddle, as to a seat iu Congress. John A. Malson had a dwelling that cost about one-third as much, aud the principal objection to him for Congrrse and Governor, was his splendid mansion. We are sorry that our country is full of low, grovelling, envious spirits w ho make auch objections. But so it is We must take the world as it is, and not s we would have it.

Some years since an eccentric genius wrote a book, and as there was a diversity of opinion and tastes relative to punctuation and the use of cspilal letters, he used in the body of the I ook neither commas, semicolons, periods, or capitals; and at the close of the hook, filled two or three pages exclusively with points and capitals, with note instructing the reader to s-aton to suit himself. We have been reminded of this inridence, by i a communication In the lnd.
