And too, we pity from our inmost sool that editor who it so abject a slave as to be compelled to support every man of his party, (honest or corrupt) and every measnr or his party, right or wrong. When the whipi bring out a good man we give him our hearty support, but when they try to foist upon the people dirty son led scoundrel, we draw black mark round him. Or this Mr. Jacksonian, a gentleman at your elbow can testify. Hwe were to shout hosannah to every one whnt confi dence would the people have In our Statements when we had a good man? We suppose the American would, irwe had'pnrsusd this course, fee no better authority than the Jacksonian. That paper white-wishes all their men, including some great scamps, consequently, no confidence is, or should be placed in their endorsements. Bot when the American saya a man is ttoneet, worthy , and capable, every body believe it Hence the Jarksonian Is not willing our etatemeat should go before his readers. He fears the truth, and well he may. It might be fatal to him and them. They hare lived so long In political darkness, that one ray of truth. weuld operate upon them like the clear rays of thssua npon those who ha.! long been Incarcerated in a dungeon. Don't, therefore, Mr. Jackonian, let your reader have the least ray of fight. Neither their moral or political visions could stand its force. In fact, w do not soppose they ever aw a newspaper with a political truth tn It. But the Jarksonian concludes lhal tr some paper tn the southern part or the district will Insert an article for them, they will insert oura. ; But as there w neither sense, reason, norcouresy la thTw proposition, It is en'.y lutended aa aa evasion. If however, the editor has any thing he would like us to publish, trne or fslse pure or filthy, send It en, we ill publish it without any return f kindness. The readers of the American are thinking and discriminating men. We are not afraid to trust them. Aud too, as our readers seldom ever Bee any political filth, or eve a ilrty newspaper, we shoold like to give them a email dose of dirty water, to see the contrast. We are not fearful of the ronseqnencea. But, Mr. Jacksonian, let u hear no more of jrsur confidence in the people, or your desire for the people to have Itght. Out en such hypocrisy T But we suppose yen will stitl continue to defend that corrupt, selfish, everbearing dandy, who worse thaa steal the public funds, and make a return h fsrors for the dietrirt he repseerata.

From th Ruihville Republican, htninh Knives."

In looking ever late number of the Southern Frew," we discovered the official notice of the Clerk of the House of Representative for proposal to furnish stationary, &e, for the next House. Such list of Item would astonish the Mil tan himself: members of Congress carry on a regular system of fleecing the people. They get high wage, and then they pilfer Books, knives and many other ai tides too tedious lo mention, to say nothing of the franking privilege, to swell their salaries. Here ar some of tha Items to be furnished for the next Congress: 100 dot. 4-blade best pearl handV knlve to be of th highest finish and best quality. 5 do. 4-blade beet buck handle knives, to be of the highest finish end beet quality, 10(1 dot. best 2-blade pearl handle knlve to be of the highest finish and bt quality; 50 dot. with large and email blades, and 5, dot. with two small blades." Here are 230 doren knives for two hundred and twenty-three members, making 3000 knives, which distributed among them, gives each thir teen knives and a surplus of 101 to be divided among the Clerks and waiting boys! One would suppose from that, that the principle oc cupation of the members was 'swapping knives,' a they are rarely occupied In buisnesa more than three hour day in the House! The clerV reserves the right to order more of the successful bidders. Should it be necessarv. to supply the demand of the member. Of all the small buisness that we ever heard of this compelling or the Government to supply dignified legislator with pocket knives; takes the rag off the bush!- Why do they not paean law compelling the Government to provide them with boot black? Why do they uot demand a national boarding house for their accommodation? In order that the people may see what they are compelled to purchase to contribute to the aristocratic notions cf members of th House we publish the list of articles advertised Tor, below. Nolo paper is in great demand! One , might infer that the portion of time not taken up by the members in "swapping knives" waa devoted to love letter writing! Farmers, read the bill, and see if yon do not want a few such members in Congress as Colonel Walts, tocheck this wasteful expenditure of your money, this aristocratic extravagaucef Here are tha dennndsl for stationary &c. for the House of Represetativea Tor the next Congress.

For the American. Te Itim irks will drrvlanal It. Why wouldst thou ask that love again? Which waa by thee so ill repaid. And teach that heart to feel the pain, To be by thee again betrayed: Why seek to "wake love's gentle token," And recall to mind those happy hours; Thou can'st not heal the heart that' broken. Or gain Its trust, with all thy powers. That heart Is bowed with grief too low, It cannot wake to former bliss, Or bless the hand that gave the blow; And Jndas like, would give the kiss Oh! would he could forget "the joy That wedded life spread around her,' And be again the happy girl, That she was when first you found her. Forget you say yon never can. Or cease to love thy InjurV wife Thou heartless, vain, and foolish man, Why did'stthou mar her future life?

Why did'st thou wonnd her gentle Heart, And make life's bitter cup o'erflow? Why aim at Hia the poisen dart. Which gave her life Its bitter woe? Its seal npon her brow Is set. For joy, Is sunk in darkest night; Her doom, with bitterness was met But Oh! how d the mournful sight. Thy HKARTI.SSS ACONttlNQ SCROLL, Dropped from her cold, and pulseless grasp -Her life all blanched her heart appalled Ht's oonr! is aooxt sub casted Had'st thou beheld the wreck there made, When reason totter'd on her throne, And thy sweet victim well nigh laid Beneath the lowly marb'e atone: Such scenes within thy heart would live. And weave for thee their deadliest spell Thy wife's deep anguish yet would give, Thy false heart its earthly h 1. For with one bold and fearless atroke, Thou hast sealed her gloomy fate, Thy holy marriage vow bath broke, Then wonder not if she should hate: Now let Leatha's streams the past o'erflow, And heal her heart by anguish riven; That she some future joy may know, Before she leaves this earth for heaven.

I he jewelry store ofN. Hazvn. was entered between seven and eight o'clock yesterday morning, and robbed or many valuable gold watches and chains. The robbers entered the building through the Messrs. Pmi.ur' Bindery, an made thelrway to the second storv orthe building occupied by Mr. Haten, and cut a hole through the ceiling or the first story, and by the means era roap ladder, descended to the store and took the watches out or the show ease. j One of the clerks sleeps in the store and left for .breakrast about seven o'clock, and retnrn.-H In ' about an hour. Th robbery was committed j through his absence. The robbers left their ladder, a brace and bit. and other tools in the room these may lead to their detection. We understand from Mr. Hanxen that he lost fortytwo gold watches that cost $ 100, each and seventeen silver watches, besides many valuable gold chains! The tors to Mr. Hsxen Is over five thousand dollars probably It will reach six thousand. This Is the most bold and cunning vHliany that has transpired of late, and created considerable excitement yesterday among tbe fri'da of the universally known jewelery. ' " '"'""rice was singularly, cunningly nnd expeditiously e fTec ted: but happening as it did In broad dav light, tn the renter or the city, makes It a theme of wonderment. Cincinnati Cam, June 2d. OTnsaalc Olrbratlaa. The celebration bad yesterday In connection with the ceremony of lay ing the Cap Ston of the Masonic Hall and the dedication thereor to Masonry, Virtue, and Universal Benevolence, will be considered the most interesting ever held in our city. The great number of strangers present, tbe more than usual interesting character ol the exercises, the fineness of the weather, all rendered it an occasion that will not soon be forgotten. In the Procession which marched np aad down Washington street previous to entering tbe Grand Hall, we counted three hundred and Torty members of the fraternity, embracing many of the most venerable men of the Slate as well ss those of more youthful appearance. At the close ofthe ceremonies, the crowded audience were entertained by an excellent and appropriate oration by Rev. Mr. Ltkch, of thia city. Mr.L. fully sustained himself a a man of learning and ability. And to say that it was received with the most general commendation, would be but faintly representing tha satisfaction his audience received from hearing It. An original Ode by Indiana' poetess, MrsS. T. Bolton, was sung with fine effect. The music was arranged by Frof. ana Journal. Downey. Prn-Knivea-The Clerk of tbe House of Representatives has advsrtlsed for things needed by the next Congress and among them we notice 250 doxen pen-knives being a dozen for earh member and of this number 150 doxen are required to be rour-bladed pearl-handled, and of the highest finish and best quality." Now, twelve knives to a member, may teem large to country people, who have to pay for ', them; but it should be remembered thst msny members have several boys, others have friends, and all expect a knife, and then "peail-handle, iur-maoea ones," will make suitable presents to wives and sweetheart.

For the American. HERE'S LrtH. Here's luck, cxctiim a ".well dressed young

man, a he carelessly quaff the sparkling contents of his glass, at th bar of a fashionable drinking house. What lvck? Luck that di rects the young man te virtue's path? Luck that gain htm the esteem and confidence of hi fellow men; that conduct him to no association with th honorable and high-minded of hi own, and introduce him to the society of the fair and virtuous of theoTHtn sex? Lnck that crowns his business efforts with success that fills his pnrse with gold; that gains htm the confiding, never-dyetng love of some angel being, who II join her destiny with his, to share life's joys and bear life's woes, amid all the vicissi tudes of his earthly pilgrimage? I it luck, In short, that will be enre to make his Livt a bles sing to his friends and country, and his death a public calamity? Alas! no, the lock ha drink I a very Dirrtatrcr thing. It Is a lnck that first disturb hi conscience, which. In bis tender years, his virtuous friends took pains to educate aright. It la a luck that eauses the blush of shame to mantle hia manly cheek, as he thinks of a depatUd parent, brother, sister or friend, looking down npon him from brighter world. It is a luck that blunta the keen eJge of all the lofty and glowing sensibilities of the youthful heart, checks the noble aspirings of a bright and gifted Intellect, almost entirely annihilates the great principle of fidelity to man, and reverence towards God; Introduces its victim to scene of vulgsrity, debauchery nnd crime, and Is fatal to the higher interesta of his moral, intellectual nd physical well-being. It is a luck that ex ilea him from the love and society of the purest and beet of both sexes, In timr, and the presence 0f God and angels in eternity; for ft I written' "No drunkard shall Inherit the kingdom of hea ven." The writer of this during- the vear Daet. white boarding at a public house, In a large city, often heard this ominous expression, and whenever beard, the mind would call np a long array of sad and gloomy scenes heart broken rela tion and friends, neglected and poverty strick en homes, scenes of riot and profligacy, brothels, gaming houses, prisons, a scaffold, and an ignominious grave. Is there luck In all this Ah! yes, a sad, a desperate luck a luck, which it would aeem no sane mind would risk inenrrinp; and yet, a luck that Is scat to follow the evil habit of Intemperate drlnkiLg. Oh! then, how full of sad and mournfulaignificance is this toast, when drunk amidst scenes of dissipation, with the poisonous liquor sparkling in the tempting goblet! What a miserable life a disgraceful death, and a dark eternity doe it betoken! What a legacy will such a young man leave! Let him read and ponder npon THE DRUNKARD'S WILL. "I, A. B.. beginning to be enfeebled in body, and fearing that I may be pals lad In mind, and being on that conrse of Intemperance rrom which I have not tha strength of mind to flee, and already feeling the evils resulting therefrom, which 1 have not resolution to avert, do make this my last will and testament Having been made In the imege of my creator, capable of rational enjoyment, of imparting happiness to others, and promoting the glory of God, I know and acknowledge my accountability. Yet such is my fondness for sensual gratification, and my ntter inability to resist temptation, that I give myself up entirety to intemperance and its associate vices, and make the following bequests: Item I. My property I wive to d issination. knowin th ill soon fall into the hands of those who furnish me with ardent spirits. Item 2. My reputation, already tottering on a sandy fonndation, I give to destrnction. Item 3. I give my ability to be happy and useful In life, to annihilation. Item 4. To my beloved wife, who has thus far cheered me in the path of life, I give shame, poverty, sorrow, and a broken heart. Item 5. To each of my children I bequeath my example and the inheritance cf their father' ahame. Item 6. To my associates, grocery companions, I give my broken bottles. Item 7. Finally, I give my body to disease, and earthly dissolution, and my son I, that can never die, to the disposal of that God, whose mercy t have abased, whose commands I have broken, and whose holy law declare that "no drunkard shall inherit th kingdom of heaven." Poeh, in nine cases In ten, is the resnlt of Intemperate drinking, and the luck to make such a legacy is what the young man drinks, unwittingly, with hia gay companions. Young men beware! take the advice of one who, whatever may have been his errors, ha never been guilty of drinking this fearfut toast, and if voir wiu. drink it, fet it be With the sparkling beverage that God sends gushing forth aronnd yon In a thousand limpid atreams, and then good urcx, with honest Industry, will surely follow.

Parsuanl to adjournment the board again met yesterday morning and was fully organised by the election of the following additional officer. Geo. Hussey of Vigo, 1st Vice President. Samnel Emerson of Knox, 2d do. J. B. Diitioa, Secretary and Royal Mayhew, Treasurer of the board. By lot, Messrs. Wright, Wlllard, Ilolloway, McLean, Emerson, Sweeny, Hussey, and Stevenson are te serve for a term of two years, and Messrs. McBride. Ratliff, KellyjEllaworth, McMaban, Brown, Orr, and Hatri for one year. Gov. Wright addressed the Board in appropriate remarks; and we are glad to find the Executive not only in his messages but In these meetings calling th attention of the people to the consideration of the Interest of agriculture, and the adoption of mean for. it promotion. Indiana, considering heT vast capabilities, has been left far behind soms other States with her agricultural improvement. Our General Assembly at Its session of '46 7 tried to resusciat its State Board aud appropriated a (mall sum to defray it expenses; but nothing was done under it. Last winter a new Board onder a different organ iiatlon was established, similar to that of Ohio; and like that we believe it is working well, and the evidence before us is, that it will be the means of Immeasurable benefit to the State. The people and Government of Indiana are waking up In earnest in relation to the improvement in agricnlture. After the Governor's remarks, the Board adjourned till 2 P. M- referring resolutions to appropriate committees to be reported upon at that hour. An interesting and full meeting of the Board took place in the afternoon. Several reports were made by the commitees. A set of rules and by-laws for the regulation of County societies was reported and adopted. A rut I and frie discussion of the subject of holding a atate Agricultural Fair was had some of the members expressed their belief that the time has come when the Stale of Indiana should make a commencement by having a grand agricultural exhibition; other believed that it would be better to defer the attempt at holding a State Fair nn ti greater faciliei fot trave and transportation have been constructed through the center of the State, aud till tbe farmer mora generally have Decerns enlisted in the work of agricultural improvement. The matter waa deferred for final action till 8 o'clock this morning, to which time the Board adjourned. The Board of Agricultuie met Wednesday, May 29, pnsuant to adjournment. The Board decided against holding a State Fair this fall by a vote of 7 to G. One will be held the succeeding fall, the exact ti me or which will be determined at the next January meeting. j We were pleased to learn from the members of the Board that about a dozen counties ofthe State have formed County Agricultural Societies, and that call have been made for as many more In other counties. One objection urged against the holdieg ofa Fair this fall was that even the central county of Marion had not yet taken the first step towards the formation of such a Society. We are grieved that such Is her condition, and trust another spring will not pass without a move in the matter. A County Agricultural Society, with annual Fairs and suitable premiums, would stimulate those engaged In that honorable calling to an effort to improvment.not only in the different modea of cultivatiou.but in farming Implements, and the raising of stock, fruit, dec. Aside from this, the meeting of the society would enable onr farmera to become more intimately acquainted with each ether, and by thns meeting and comparing their respec tive models of tillage, kind of seed, am aunt of yeild, &c., an amount of information might be obtained which can be derived from no other source. Circular will be published by the Board and aent to every county in the State. The Board' proceedings wilt be published accoridng to law by the Legislature after they shall have been reported to that body. A resolution was passed giving the influence of the Board towards sustaining an'Agricnltnral paper In the State. The body adjourned at 10 o'clock yeaterday. Ind. Journal. ller Tram California.

There cannot be a but we have any quantity of salt, all of would be demonstrated by a practical gselor. giving him the time to make a full geologic pographical survey, and a minute exttnUtti of the State. 1 There hay been found, in varioni ptru the Stale specimens of lead, xinc, copptr, j the pure metal, gold.
