In his efforts to put up a building so much neded, and which will add so much to our town,
we hope our citizens will render all needed assistance. And as it will need money, if any one
is Indebteded to him they are now called on to !
make prompt payment. Let him, therefore, not be embarrassed by your neglect of this important duty on your part. We learn from Mr. Hait.e, that he intends to put up a large brick, this summer, on his part of the burnt district. It is also understood that Mr. Medscab will rebuild this season. Mr. Abbott is preparing to purchase a new press, aad thereby he will be able to issue his paper next week. Post Masters will please notice his advertisement.

' gressional district appoint three persons from j their respective districts, who shall constitute a nominating committee, and that each district
shall be entitled to a number of votes in making nominations, equal to the number of Senators and Heprescntatives such district may have in
the General Assembly; and that a majority of
all votes shall be required to nominate a candidate. Which was adopted. Mr. Colfax offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the delegates present from
each Congressional district, when assembled in
district meetings, to select their nominating committee, shall also select an Elector aud Con-
action relative to IheC onrt House. That is a heavy undertaking, and will require time and money. As it would be impolitic.as well as almost impossible to raise money enough in one year to rebuild, we think nothing should or will be done this summer, except to provide, by tax for a portion of the means. In the meantime it will be a fruitful subject for store room and
street corner loafers, who have not mind enough think of any thing better, the talk of removing the county seat, er the Court House to some ther part of the town. It is a beautiful question upon which to break the peace and quiet of community, consequently there is now an opportunity for some to flourish.
Rev. V. ?l. fjailr. We are under obligations to the author, for a eopy of the funeral discourse, delivered at Bloomington, Ind. on the remains of the late Rev. Andrew VVylie, D. D President of the Indiana University, by tlw Rev. W. M. Daily. No
man can read this sermon withont being convinced that the author is a man of more than ordinary minu. The sermon is lengthy, aud although prepared in haste, as all funeral sermons necessarily are, yet it is easy, aud at the tametime nervous n style appropriate to the text and to the occasion and all his points enforced
by appropriate texts aud incidents from sacred
aud profane history. lie thus notices the last
moments of Mr Wylie, to wit:
"lie died asa Alimslei should die. His dvmg
exclamation not three iniaules before he breathed his last, we must regard as unsurpassed in sublimity, since the days of the heroic Paul. With crushed aad bleeding hearts of weeping friends all around him, clinging to the Husbaud the Father the Friend, he seemed to summon
all his euergiea iu the death struggle, aud, look
ing steadfastly iuto heaven, he exclaimed "Lord Jesus Christ, my Saviour 1 Thtsseemed to
hush Uie thuuaeriugs of Jordan, aud still her turbulent waves, and in pace tie passed home
to the bosom ef hi God."
Whig National Convention; and shall also appoint one member from each District for the purpose of selecting two Slate Electors, twe Contingent State Electors, and two Delegates to represent the State at large in the Wing National Convention. Which resolution was adopted. The places having been named, where the Delegates of each Congaession il District should
meet immediately, The Convention, on motion of Mr. John W. Wallace, adjourned until S o'clock.
Afternoon Session. The Convention met. Mr Henry S Lane for the committee en resolutions, submitted the following report: The committee on Resolutions direct me to report the following, and to ask the unanimous
concurrence of the Convention in the same; 1. Resoived, That while we pledge ourselves
to support the nominees of the Whig National Convention, we knew that the Whigs of Iudiana a:e in favor of the nomination of Gen W infield Scottas the Whig candidate for the Presidency;
aud that, therefore, we hereby instruct our delegates to such Convention to cast the united
vole of this state in favor of the nomination of that renowned hero and patriot. 2. That the Whigs of Indiana have the utmost confidence in the ability, patriotism aud integrity of John J. Crittenden, that his opposi
tion to everything tending to dis-union, his long
known and tried fidelity to the best interest of
the whole country recommend him as a suitable candidate for Vice President, and we hereby in
struct our delegates to cast the vote of I ndiana in
favor of the nomination of that distinguished
statesman for that office.
3. That we have unabated confidence in the patriotism and integrity of Millard Fillmore, President of the 1! uited States, and in his devotion to what he believes will promote the prosperity of the country.

Mr. Henry S Lane, aa one of the State Electora, being loudly called npon, addressed the
Convention in one of his ablest and happiest
efforts. During his remarks, as well as through
out the entire session of the Convention, when
ever the names of Gen. Scott and of Nicholas
McCarty were alluded to, the Delegates responded in such manner, as indicated the entire unanimity of the Delegates in their favor and of their warm zeal in their behalf. When Mr. Lane had concluded, Mr. McCarty entered the Hall, accompanied by the com
mittee. The sterling qualities of the man eliciitd the warmest greetings from the Delegates, and his address, was, throughout cheered
with tumultuous applauses. When he concluded, the joint committees on nominations made the following report; Mr. President: The Committee on Nominations, appointed by the Delegates from the several Congressional Districts of the State, would respectfully submit to the cousidertion
of the Convention the names of the following gentlemen for the various offices to be filled: For Lieut. Governor Wm Williams of

they would influence that august body. But, alas, the lime of their speechifying never came. Some of them attempted to instruct the committees and offer resolutions but the passage ef a resolution depended on the doctrine it contained, more than on the number of ayes or noes it could command. Judge Smith, the President,
being a supreme Judge, there was no appeal
from his decision as to whether a motion was lost or carried. At first some of the green ones attempted to question the correctness of his decisions by calling a division, but they soon learned how to demean themselves, even in a state convention. I happened to sit where I could hear the remarks of some who heard more "noes" than "ayes" on a question which had been decided as carried. They were not very complimentary. The published proceedings give yeu a partial account of the meeting. They do not print the thunder, nor the "noise and confusion."

drunkards who ask us to make officers of them, l I rather guers we won't do any such thing. It is time to see that those who are to preside in our legislature at least, should be sober, occasionally, verbum sat. The Whig C invention came off to day. It was about as large, and about as noisy as the other. With exception of more business in the president, it was about the same thing. A few did the business. Your former townsman J. A. Matson Esq. presided, and never appeared to a bette-advantage. lie never made a better speech, all things considered, than en taking the
chair to day this wil give your readers a better idea of its character than any thing else I can say of it. He alluded beautifully to his temporary absence from the stale and present determin
ation to spend his days in Indiana. He told us
pected to be derived therefrom. Sic. 3. It shall be the duty of each county or district society to publish, annually, a list of the awards, and an abstract of the treasurer's account in a newspaper of the district, and to make a report of their proceedings during the year; and a synopsis of the awards for improvements in agriculture, and household manufactures, together with an abstract of the several

able circumstance in his family: that on the day of Polk's inaguration a Bon was born the only
thing remarkable was that it was on that day. The name of Polk was suggested for the boy, iu view of this, but Mrs. Matson objected, preferring to call her boy after it man who would be president, than after such a president as Polk,
and they called him W infield Scott. The Legislature is doing nothing this week. The School bill will be destroyed by amendments. It is a good bill as it is now but its only vitality the circuit superintendents will be
stricken out, on the score of economy while the legislature will spend enough this week, in conventions, and on Kossnth to pay one half of the entire expense of those officers a year. Great econ
omists forsooth. They will adjourn about the
first of April as some of the farmers wish to begin to plow about that time. They will probably adjourn to meet again in the summer.
SPECTATOR
The sub-committee appointed to select Electors and Delegates for the State at large made the following report. The sub committee whose duty it was made
by the Convention, to present the names of
suitable persons to serve as electors and Delegates to the National Convention, for the State at large, have performed their duty and respect
fully reccommend the following persons:
Electors for the State at large. Henry S.
Lane of Montgomery co, and Pleasant A Hacklemanof Rush ce. For Contingent Eleetors. F G Harris of
Elkhart co, and Jas E Blythe of Vanderburg
county. Delegates. John S Davis of Floyd co. and Schuyler Colfax of St. Joseph co. Contingents. J S Newman and Geo K Steele. Mr C D Murray of Howard moved that a
committee of three be appointed to inform Mr
McCarty of his nomination by acclamation, as
the Whig candidate for Governor.
W hich was adopted.
And Messrs C D Murray, Suit and Baker were appointed said committee. Mr John D Defrees offered the following res
olution: ' Resolved, That a State Central Committee of one from each Congressianal district and of five from the City of Iudianaopolis be appointed of whom five shall constitute a quorum, and that said committee be authorized to fill all vacancies which may occur on the State ticket;
in the delegation to the National Convention; or in the electoral ticket; and nominate a candidate for any office which may be created by the present Legislature, the election to which is by the people. Which was adopted.
The Whig Stale Coaveatioa. Besides the business meeting of the Convention on Thursday, the Representative Hall was densely crowded both on Wednesday and Thursday evenings to hear speeches. On the first
evening the old veteran Col. John Vawter, presided, aud Messrs. Suit, McCarty, Gregg, Col
fax, Farquhar, Holloway, Bradley, Walker of
Dearborn, Hudson and others being called upon addressed the enthusiastic assemblage. The meeting continued in session, with undiminished numbers, uutil a late hour in the evening, and evm then it was difficult to carry a motion to adjourn. On Thursday evening, the Preeident of the
Convention was in the Chair, and Mr. Nelson of Terre-Haute, opened the meeting in stirring and eloquent speech. He was followed by Geo.
G. Dunn, in one of the most powerful speeches ever listened to in that Hall. He dissected the State Ticket presented by our opponents in a
masterly style the crowded audience preserving the most profound silence except when, at each successive hit, Buch shouts went up as made the welkin ring again. For near two
hours, he held the audience spell-bound, with his wit, his sarcasm, and his withering invective. The scorn with which he spoke of the hungry dogs of party hunting down the Chief Justice of the Supreme Bench, to give the place which he had so much honored and adorned, to a servile politician, has never been surpassed. And his
whole speech proved that while he had all the sarcasm and point of John Randolph is his palmiest days, he could use the knife with a
smoothness and good humor that caused even
his victims to feel that the decapitation was most
handsomely and scientifically done. At the conclusion of his speech the audience adjourned with three hearty cheers for the whole ticket, and thiee more especially for Lundy's Lane and the Farmer Governor. The contrast yesterday in the countenances of the two parties was obvious to the most cas
ual observer. Every Whig face was lit up with hope aud confidence, while our Democratic friends looked dispirited, and as if already fore
seeing the doom which awaits them next fall Indiana Journal
Republic af the Bait UkM.
The intelligence by telegraph in yesterday's paper, that the Mormons had declared themselves an independent Republic, is nothing more than
we expected and predictated some time since.
What is to be done now, is the question? Will the United States reduce them to obedience,
or suffer a portion of its territory to be wrested from it by rebels? The latter is improbable, and a war against these fanatics, although but few, will in consequence of their position.be extremely expensive. Their conduct in Ohio is not forgotten, and both Missouri and Illinois drove them from those States. What the United States will do is yet unknown. But they have no more right to declare themselves an independent Republic than South Carolina hag. In our opinion, they should not only be reduced to subjection, at any cost, but the law of treason strictly en
forced against them. Cin. Commercial. The Catholic Telegraph aad the Eaaairer. The Telegraph says: "A reaction of opinion respecting the superiority of certain political party is at last, after longsuffermg, beginning to be developed among the Catholic citizens." Our neighbor Enquirer, regards this an attack on "the Democratic party," and seeks to
put it down, by applying the bug-a-boo cry of
"ultra Whig," to Catholics. Cin Gazette. Fairbaaks Coavicte. Yesterday the notorious Calvin Fairbanks was tried in the Jefferson Circuit Court on the charge of enticing away a slave of A L Shotwell, Esq. of this city. The jury after being ont about twenty min
utes, brought in a verdict of guilty, and sentenc
ed him to the penitentiary for the term of fif
teen years, this is the second time that he has been convicted of negro stealing, ana we think he will have to serve out the full term this time.

Uor. Kossnm arrived at inn place at two o'clock. He was cordially received by an im
mense asaeirblage of our citizens.
Gov. Wright welcomed him in a speech, in
which he took strong grounds in favor of the
Kossuth doctrine.
