Nicholas McCarty. We propose this week to give an account of the life and character of the
whig candidate for Governor of Indiana, somewhat more in detail than we have been able to glean from the columns of any of our contemporaries. The life of Governor Wright has been paraded at great length, and we are told of his "brick making" and "walnut hulling" to
prove that he is a sell made man. It is
time that people had found out that every man who is worth any thing in the world is self made. All the colleges, and teachers, and professors; all the Latin, Greek and Hebrew; all the money and travel that could be applied to such a purpose have never yet made a sensible man out of an ass. Nor has the want of them ever dwindled a sensible man into a numskull. Plain common sense, reso-

against him, as could only be discharged by money payments, with the support of his family, exhausted his collections, and left him a farm adjoining Indianapolis, with some other property in and near that city. The farm he has conducted for the last twenty years, and for the last seven has been engaged in no other
business. It is the result of a life of
industrious and honest toil, and yields
him a reasonable competency. Mr. McCarty never sought a nomination for office. In 1847 he ran for Congress in the Indianapolis District, and was defeated by Judge Wick. At the time of his nomination for the office of Governor, he was a member of the Senate from the county of Marion. The nomination for Governor was tendered him by acclamation. In a time when the public money is squandered in the most profuse and shameful scramble that has ever disgraced this State, the feeling uppermost with the wings was to
present to the people an honest and intelligent farmer of thrifty and economi
cal habits, who would have the nerve to
stop the disgraceful game of grab that
The Question Settled. In our next issue we shall publish the peech of Wm. E. Robiksok, of New York, who has visited Concord, N. II., and spent some weeks in making a thorough examination into the course of
Franklin Pierce, in relation to the Catholic exclusion by the Constitution of New Hampshire. ' It settles the question
upon that subject, and puts Pierce in a worse position than the strongest of his
opposers conceived. And it exposes the
gross forgeries and misrepresentations of
the Pierce press, in a way terrible to
evildoers. But we will not anticipate; Pierce is in the mire too deep to be extricated.
ft"7"Mr. Kelly sent from Laurel an
editorial relative to the High School there, and a communication upon the same subject. We had already in type the excellent editorial of Mr. Jenkins upon the same school; and considering the latter sufficient gratuitous advertising for one week, we have laid the others aside.

Pennsylvania; here the father died, in
1798, leaving a widow with her boy, then but three years old, and with no means of support but her own head and hands. The boy, as soon as he had the muscle to labor, was hired out to work by the day. From his thirteenth year, through all the working season from spring until the fall he was regularly employed; with an occasional period of schooling in the winter, but none whatever after the first half of his sixteenth year. At this age his mother permitted him to go in search of employment and success in the then new State of Ohio, not failing, with tears, to admonish her only child to be honest and upright faithful to every engagement, and to remember that the world was not rich enough to pay for the loss of self-respect. In the spring of 1811, he reached Licking County, Ohio, having performed the journey on foot. As soon as he

a farmer who had a mill about eight miles from Newark. As he occasionally went to that town to sell flour for his employer, his friends there brought him to the notice of a Mr. Bcckixuham, (now deceased,) who perceiving the activity and intelligence of the lad, employed him in July as a clerk in his store. The wages
were low, but all was saved, except what was spent for postage. That widow in her childless home was not forgotten by the wanderer. In the following September, thinking he could the better aid her if she were near him, he borrowed two horses and returning to Pennsylvania brought his mother with him to Ohio.
Thenceforward he contributed to her support, and soon relieved her from all anxiety by himself assuming to provide for all her wants. Who does not say, "Well done so far." The boy who trudges on foot to Ohio, returns in a few months with two horses to convey his widowed mother to his home in the west, and to maintain her by his own efforts. A proud day that !
He remained a clerk with Bcckingham until his twentieth year, his low wages being gradually increased by the voluntary act of his employer. He was then furnished by Buckingham with a small stock of goods to sell for half the profits, at Fredericktown, Knox County, Ohio.

murder, we hope to be promptly corrected by Mr. Torbet, the gentlemanly editor of the Democratic Register. But, if it is correct, what moral man or christian, whether whig or democrat, can conscientiously cast his vote for Col. Lake ! And we hope no one will again be heard charging all the censure on Col.

expenses, he accepted from a farmer who knew him, an offer of capital and a partnership in the mercantile line in Newark. His goods, bought in Thiladelphia, arrived, but McCarty; did not feel it right to remain at Newark, because he was drawing to himself the customers of his old friend and benefactor, Buckingham. He therefore removed, with a son of the farmer for his partner, to Mount Vernon, where their business prospered, and was quite profitable. By the produce trade in 1819-20 they lost heavily. They were able to suffer some losses, and no man lost a cent by them . But embarrassment followed, and a dissolution of the partnership, and McCarty with a remnant of the stock, took a temporary stand at New Philadelphia, and recruited at Pittsburgh, until he was able to see his way through his share of the liabilities. He then cast about for a permanent home, and on the 10th October, 1823, arrived in Indianapolis, where he has lived up to this date. From the period of establishing himself at the State capital, Mr. McCartt has been known quite extensively. His steady application to business, enterprise, and a certain kind of downright honesty, made him at once eminently prosperous and widely popular. For an inland town his business was heavy, and was extended by means of branches. All was successful until the commercial disasters commencing in 1839, when having outstanding liabilities for himself and others to a large amount, he suffered severely in his fortunes by the turn of the times. But McCartt suffered more than many others, for having himself begun life penniless and friendless, and experienced the struggles of a young man like those who were now his debtors, he made a poor collector. In short, he indulged others, and sacrificed himself. In this crisis of his affairs, rather than distress his debtors or embarrass his
