Achilles Williams, of Wayne county, several years ago represented that county in the Senate of this State. He has acted as the Treasurer of Wayne county the past six years, to the entire satisfatiou of the people , aud proven himself faithful to every trust reposed in him. Capt John Osborne, of Clay county, has every qualification for the duties of the office of Secretary of State. He has pro ed his devotion to his country on the ensanguined ravines of Buena Vista. He will enter this canvass with such zeal and energy as to insure success. Great reluctance was felt by many delegates as to the nomination of candidates for the Supreme Bench, but, it was tliought by a majority present, that the plan adopted by the Democratic party, left the whigs but one course to pursue, howevei unwilling ihey would have been to take the first step. They concluded to present to the people the names of four of the most distinguished jurists of the State for their consideration, inviting a contrast between them and their opponents. For Superintendent of public Instruction, we have presented Aaron Weod, a man of undoubted character, energy, and qualifications and whose general acquaintance throughout tho State renders another word about him wholly unnecessary. Andrew L Osborne, Esq., is a distinguished

member of the bar of Laporte, and possesses first rate qualifications for the place assigned

nun. James A Stretch, Esq., of Grant County, pos

sesses all the requisite qualifications for Clerk of

the Supreme Court Indiana Journal. The IM'iuorruliv 'l itikct. ST ITS FRIENDS. Joseph A Wright.our present popular Governor is the Democratic nominee. He has resided in the State thirty-five years. Uuaided by wealth, influence, or a name, he has risen from the humble Bricklayer the orphan boy to his present position. At twenty-two he entered the State Legislature as a Representative from Farke county. He served one term in the State Senate, and afterwards as a member of Congress from the Vigo District. Elected to his present position over his popular and worthy competitor, by a majority of 9,778, he is again presented for the suffrages of the people of Indiana. His

name is a tower of strength. The hearts of

me people are with him and for him. The young Whig lawyers, with slick heads and

nowing beards may denounce htm with their vituperation and abuse, to their heart's content;

me nonest farmers and working men will stand by him.

a. t . V illard, the talented and eloquent ad

vocate of Democratic principles, is our nominee

tor Lieutenant Governor. He has served one

term in the State Legislature, and, as Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, was the author of our present admirable system of rev

enue. But he can and will speak for himself

between this aud October. Be certain to hear him.

Capt. Nehemiah Hayden, tiie present Sheriff

of hush County, is the nominee for Secretary of State. Capt. Hayden is a gentleman of character and standing, and of good business qualifications. He served with great credit as quarter Master, during the war with Mexico. Dr. Elijah Newland, of Washington county, is the candidate for Treasurer of State. Dr. Newland is, we believe, a native of Indiana. He is a gentleman of decided talents. He has never held office. In 1544 he was a Presidential elector on the Democratic ticket for the Second

District. Majer John P. Dunn, formerly of Dearborn, but now of Terry county, is our nominee for Auditor of State. He was once a member of the Indiana Legislature, and served as a Senatorial Delegate in the Constitutional Convention, and is the present Secretary of the Senate. He is a gentleman of fine business capacity. He will make a good State officer. Messrs. Smart, Davidson, Perkins, aud Roach, the candidates for Judges of the Supreme Court are gentleman who stand at the head of the legal profession in the State. No one will call in question their ability or their capacity. W B Beach, of Boone county, is the nominee for Clerk of the Supreme Court. He is a member of the present House of Representatives. He is honest, faithful, and capable. Horace E Carter, of Montgomery county, is the candidate for Reporter of the Supreme'

culiarly qualified for this station. He has devoted his life to the cause of Popular Education. He snows, feels, and understands the wants of

the people. As an Educator he has long enjoy, ed a high reputation.

The best Breed rSwine for the Far. iner.

I am perfectly satisfied from lonir experience.

and have publicly advocated it for upward of ten

years, that the best and most profitable swine for

the farmer, is that breed which will nearly ma.

ture at eight to twelve months old, and then

weigh, well fatted and dressed, from 2jO to 350 pounds. A pig that has to be wintered and kept

till sixteen to nineteen months old, before fully

fatted, rarely pays for itself at the ordinary price

or pork ; and the average weight of these, in the United States, even at a year and a half old, I do

not believe exceeds 300 pou nds. Now what the farmers want is a large breed n.1.1. C. ; . . , . .....

"iwinuo puiuis ano great rrowtn. fruch a

breed can be made fat at any age, and invariably matures quick. 3ut recollect they must have fiae points; by this I mean fine or small heads, ears, legs, feet and tail, a wide deep chest, aud a round body, like a barrel. These consti tute what are technically called the fine points. None of your big heads, large lop ears, coarse bustles and hair, long legs, great feet, and flabby, thin slab-tsided bodies, after the alligator or laudpike order. Of the large breeds, I prefer the Lincoln. In order to get pigs to weigh well, they must come early. February in the Southern, March in the middle, and April in the most Northern States, are the best months to drop pigs. Feed

them from the start, all they will eat, and they will be ready to kill from October to January; aud thus you dispense with wintering any, except those reserved for breeding. For hams, particularly, aud scmetimes for bacon, especially for the English market, lean tender meat is most desirable. A particular breed, like the Berkshire, is best adapted for this purpose; and these may be kept from a year to eighteen months old before fattened. When it is desired to refine and improve swine of coarse points.it is best to use the Suffolk for a cross upon them;but these of themselves are too small, and not of bufficient growth to suit the general purposes of the farmer. They do very well for those who wish fine delicate pork for their own family use. The Plow.

When Monsieur Jollie presented his picture of "Moses Crossing the Red Sea," the Curate of the Loure threatened to kick it out of doors. Did that dishearten him? Not at all? He went home, added a little chrome yellow to it, gave it a new name, ' "Ca?sar Crossing the Rubicon," and sold it in less than a month to the same Curate for ten thousand francs. Here we see the advantage

of "never giving up." Had Monsieur Jollie been like most men, the insult he met with on first going to "the great National Gallery," would have resulted in a shilling's worth of prussic acid. But he wasn't like most men; the

consequence is, he has become .a lion of the

dent which is taken from the New York Obrver. Mr S hid been speaking al a Bible meeting in New Hampshire: As Boon as he concluded his impawioned ap. peal and took his seat, a good man stepped up to him, and eagerly asked "Haint you hurt yourself, sir?" "Not at all, my good friend," replied Mr. S. "Well, you will; I never heard siu aud perdition take it in that style. You'll break something inside, if you keap on so.

For the American. Mysterious Jiauifcstaliong. This is truly a wonderful age in which we live. The mysterious sounds or detonations that have astonished and confounded the most profound of the literati of our country, are around and among us, inviting us to come ferward and investigate the mysterious phenomena. There have, as yet, been none found who could trace them to any other, than a purely spiritual origin. But, notwithstanding the correct answers that are given to all interrogatories, bysounds or concussions, and by moving heavy bodies, there are those found, who are loud ia heralding to the world, that these things have 110 foundation in truth; and that it is an imposition practiced upon the credulity of the people, mere huinbun-

and imposture. So were mesmerism and clairvoyance, long hooted at by the learned, and especially by the medical faculty, as vNionarv the

ories, and as bordering oa the doubtful zone, be

tween sanity and insanity. All that could J

done by jeering, buffonery, and slander, was vigorously done. Now we see those humbughave become scientific truths. Mesmerism in

cluding clairvoyance, are acknowledged bv the scientific as being true; and they are practiced

now on!y as a means of relieving the condition

ofeuffe ring humanity. Now that clairvovanct. U j

iai,it auu mesmerism an admitted science; where are the tributes of merit tendered to their champions and defenders? Echo answers, where ! In the language of another, "if common sense sufficient to recognize palpable demonstrated factand common honesty cr fairness, to admit tluir existence in a public manner, be treason to the dignity of the ancient and honorable system of medicine.rest contented with praying to heaven for a speedy deliverance from leaden-ha.ied, iron hearted, medica! despotism. Let every friend of truth and human progress resolve that he will no longer bow lo the dictate of thess who sit in high places, and profe that they alone are qualified to lead a:id guide the race cf man to a happy future, when, h, ft, they are ignorant of the first principles of the laws ef life. Such a system of society must degradeand a system tased upon our Mgher power of reason and reflection, must ennoble man. Then let us lay aside our preconceived opinions, our reverence for particular men aud peculiar systems, and launch forth into the wide field ef nature, and read on the pages of her book, in connection with the written word of God, the truth aud the duty cf man. So f,r a I ha?e been able to investigate, they go hand iu hand in establishing the spirituals of man. Then may we not with the bible in one hand, and the book of nature in the other, go forth as bold innovators upon the long eslablWied, but false theories of the learned professions, Theology, Law and Thymic ? My attention to oue of these has convinced me, that there are great defects iu it, and I have no doubt there aVe iu tho others also. " v But tothesubject.

Man may deceive us ; meu in all aged bave falsified; but the laws of nature chanpe not, and they cannot be broken. Pause one momen t. It does not follow, that because any one phenomenon i.iout of the ordinary course of nature, that it is ia opposition to the laws of nature. It would seem contrary to the laws of nature, forabody to inflame when plunged into water. When Sir II.
