laawrcitccbiirghs Pcc DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE fir president JACHSOxT. The proceedings of ihe Legislature on MonJav will.be found in a succeeding column, ex

tracted from the Indiana DemocratOn Tuesday a resolution was adopted in the House of Representatives and concurred in by the Senate, fixing upon Thursday afternoon for the election of a U. S. Senator. To express an opinion as to the result would be prematura. It is not expected, however, Hut a choice will be made short of several balloting. It will be perceived that party feeling did not influence the elections which have been made. Both

Houses met on Tuesaay lor me prpusc vassing the votes for Governor, and Lieutenant Governor, but not more than one half of the returns having come to hand, the matter was postponed till Wednesday. Should the returns then be wanting it may change the aspect of affairs materially. The election of Senator and state officers was expected to be the principle business of the week . Governor Ray appeared in the Repre'entatives Hall in person, and delivered his valadic tory address. It is alike honorable to his fee -ings, his principles, and his understanding. He concludes with an open avowal of his predilection for the present administration of the

General Government . This was a point he had previously evaded, on the ground that he did not think it proper for the executive of a state to take any part in politics. Bat now, when he is reduced to the common ranks, he feels free to express his honest convictions . This is magnanimous and creditable. It is alsa of some importance as it has been produced by a close observation of the measures of General Jackson, aided, by the lijlits, experience, and increase cf knowledge, which we are bound to believe have influenced his excellency. The Message was not received in season for this day's paper; but our next shall contain it.

The roV'tical CUrUn intlerutes tMt .here mav be a " National Convention of American Matrons," for the purpose of expressing their righteous detestation of those who have used their influence, to shield an unoffending woman from the envenomed shaf.s of the political enemies of her husband. Wonder if National Con ventions of women is to become a part of Mr. Chy's American System. Oily think, induJ. Kent reader, of a covey of petticoat politicians !

TUt PVPrv effect is the result of some ade

quate cause, is a maxim of philosophy, which u-e nresume, none will gainsay at this enlight

ened period. The minds of editors of newspapers are not exempt from this universal law of nature. They, too, like ordinary folk, are actuated by motives ; though Uu " ninth part of a hair" would oftentimes outweigh those which determine their doubting minds. The truth is, that men in this situation but it would be aside from our present purpose to proceed to, speculate on this matter. We will rather state ot once what suggested it. The editor of the Western Statesman selected an article from an Ohio paper, as he says, vhich was given to his readers as evidence that the editor of this paper had come round, whole ' quadruped, for "Henry Clay and his measures." In conformity wi'h the above rule alluded to

we presume there was some motive that induced bim to select this article, and give it to the public as the product of this paper; and vre have been deliberating, for a long while, in order to discover it. Did he think to deceive his readers into the belief that the editor of this paper had been transmuted out of honesty into Clayism? Or did his self-comp'acency (of which, by the way, we believe he possesses an uncom. mon share) lead him to the conclusion that our patrons would require no further evidence than that derived from the Statesman ? After duly weighing the effect with a variety of causes, the former is the most plausible of any one that has

suggested itself; and from their familiarity with deception, they may swallow it at a gulph ; but the political character cf the Palladium is so well established that we entertain no fears of the effect which will be produced on its readers by the article in question. They know, and Mr. Gregg does not need to be informed, that it did not originally appear in this paper.

Governor Stapp having taken the chair, called the Senate to order and after the new members had produced their credential, they were sworn into office by Judge Morris, and took their seat?.

Jacks on Hecting. Pursuant to a notice published in the Indian Palladium, a large and respectable meeting of the friends of the present Administration, was held in Liberty, Union County ,on Saturday, the 2t5lh inst., for the purpose of nominating a delegate to meet in convention at Indianapolis, and for other purposes touchin the interest of Democratic Republican?. The Hon. Robert Swarm was called to the chair, and Isaac Newton Hanna appointed secretary. On motion, the following preamble and reso

lutions were unanimously adopted:

23th February, 1 828, says, "However deluded, at the time, by Mr. Adams" solemn asseverations, and I acknowledge I was deluded into a perfect confidence in his disclosures I now sincerely believe the whole of these charges were unfounded, and consisted only in Mr. Adams' own mental misgivings and poetic licenses." There are other passages in Mr. Adams' history, of dy e equally black, with the stains of deliberate premeditated deception. Altogether the present attitude ot each

individual of the Coalition Cabinet,

We in-

derstand that, under any circumstances, Ministers intend to recommend ti his Majesty to prorogue the Parliament , in order to Htford an opportunity for carrying into execution whatever measures they may deem expedient for the public good. A prorogation of Parliament is spoken of, but does not seem to be a neces sarr, or probable measure. A Liverpool paper of the 11th says the news of the fatal vote on Saturday morning spread over the country

with almost telegraphic rapidity, and

The editor, pro tempore, of thi paper assures the Statesman editor that his kindly counsel shall not be lost. He will b ambitious "not to

bring reproach upon the pood cause espoused by his patron, during his temporary snpurn at the seat of government M lie cannot but regret that his patron should be guilty of the henious sin of omitting to inform the editor of the ' Statesman whence he came or whither he jpeth. 'His pro tern, editoi ship"' would atone for this palpable remissness by giving Mr. Gregg a biographical sketch, but that biographies are decidedly unpopular, just at this time, and also but for the belief that the patrons of the Palladium will be satisfied with the introduction given him hy the publisher. He would, how

ever, state, that he makes no pretensions to

pre eminence; but would simply jog on in the

good oldfashioned way of truth and reason, amused and gratified in witnessing the rays of intellectual and political ligUt, which emanate from his neighbors.

Eastern papers contain accounts of many accidents tnd much damage, caused by a violent gale, accompanied, in some places, by thunder and lightning. It commenced as far south as Washington Ci'y, and visi'ed all places on the coast, with greater or less violence, as far north 'and ea?t as Massachusetts Djy. Much injury was done to the shipping in Baltimore, Pataps C Chesapeake Hay, Cape May, Fairhaven. Plymouth, Providence, Boston, Salem, and proba. bly in many other places not noted. Several vessels and buildings were struck by 1 ghtning The Boston papers say there was seventeen k nds of weather in one day, and twice that nnmber of changes . Such a combinat ion of elemental accidents has seldom been witntssed.

HOUSE. At ten o'clock on Monday morning, the House of Representatives was called to order by William Sheet, Esq. and the members having produced their credentials, were severally sworn into ofliCe by the Hon. Isaac 13!ackfcrd, and took their seats. The Hou?e then proceeded to the

election of a Speaker, Messrs. Hoover j

and Casey acting as tellers, when it appeared on counting the ballots, that Harbin H. .Moore, Esq. of Floyd county, was elected without opposition, he having received GG votes scatter ing Q, absent 7; the whole number of members being 75. The Speaker was then conducted to the chair by Messrs. Lane and Thornton, and in his usual happy and interesting manner returned his acknowledgments in a brief speech. The House then proceeded to the

Indiana have united and embodied themselves by various county conventions, and by a state convention at Indianapolis, which resulted in the appointment of Geo. H. Dunn, Esq., Gen. Neely, and George Howk as members of a general convention at Baltimore, whose avowed object is the nomination of Henry Clay for the Presidency: And whereas silence on the part of the Democratic Republicans, might be construed into a tacit admission, that we yield the point, and succumb to the opposition, therefore Resolved. That, in the opinion of this

meeting, the present Chief Magistrate of the United States, in the fal.hful and vigilant discharge of the duties of his

omce, has answered the highest expectations of his Democratic friends of the Union, and successfully refuted the

! charges of his political enemies-, by

placing the operations ol the government within the true spirit snd meaning of the constitution by enforcing a strict accountability of publicofficers bv a speedy adjustment of our commercial difficulties with Gt. Britain by securing a beneficial and profitable trade with the West India Islands and bv a satisfactory settlement of our long contested claims on F ranee by many

treaties that have been made with the Indian tribes, by which that unfortu-! nate Race will be better provided for,

in a country well adapted to the Indians' lovely pursuits, which will redound to the glory of the nation and add to the cause of humanity and thes different states relieved of a troublesome population that has long encumbered their territories. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting Gen. Jackson has sucessfully triumphed in the late political war Waged against him in Washington City, and that we entertain the most implicit confidence in his patriotic Administra

tion. These and other considerations

convince us of the propriety of his reelection. Resolved, That this meeting deem it

proper to appoint two members to meet in convention at Indianapolis on the 2d Monday in December next, and that James Leveston, Esq. and Col. John B. Nees be elected to represent Union County in said convention. Resolvtd, That for the purpose of sustaining the interest of the Democratic Republicans, and to counteract the influence of the opposition party, a committee of two from each township be appointed whose duty it hhn be to

meet fiom time to time a3 they may deem proper, and determine upon such Measures as in their estimation shall best promote the interest of the Democratic Republicans; and that the following gentleman constitute that com

The funeral bells of all the churches and rhapeU were muffled and tolled, as on the most solemn occasions. The Council of the Political Union assembled in the course of the evening, and an address to the people to abstain from outrage was immediately issued. The effect produced in Manchester on the arrival of the news was great beyond precedent. The first report of the probability of its rejection, was received with complete incredulity.

It is now stated, in some of the Clay

oaners.that Mr. Wirt was assured,

through Mr. Adams, that Mr. Clay would be withdrawn in the event of his (Mr. Wirt) accepting the nomination for the Presidency from the antimasons. The famous Mr. Bailey, so conspicuous in some of Mr. Adams1 former negotiations, re-appears on the stage as the instrument of Mr. Adam' perti 'Jy to Mr. Clay. Mr. Clay has now the "poisoned chalice" commended to his lips, which he knew Mr. Ad-

ams had before drugged lor others, with treachery to the brim. This imputed desertion of Mr. Clay by Mr. Adams, and not only desertion but in

jury, is in perfect keepit.g with his pre vious career. The world knows the pitifal expedient of falsehood with which he smoothed his access to the confidence of Mr. Jefferson and Gov. Giles. One of the lst acts of Gov. Giles1 life, was to declare his total incredulily of Mr. Adams' professed excuses tor his somerset in 10OS. Gov.

subject. You are Judges in the highest Court in the last lesort; and it is the first office of a Judge never to decide even the most trifling case without hearing every thing. But in this case you are going to decide without a hearing without a trial. My L"rds, beware of standing out on this sacred subject. You may obstruct you may put

life to the borough jobber, and postpone

the electing franchise in the greatest towns of the realm: but my Lords, that

delay will have no effect in raising the

respect of this House, ana in concilia-, ting the affections of the people of this couotry. I call on every one, except those who think that no Reform is necessary, and they alone can give a consistent vote against this bill. I call on you by this solemn appearand remember, my Lords, 1 am in the same vessel as yourselves I call on you I entreat you and on my bended knees I imnlore von not to reject this bill1

Lord Lyndhurst made a short, but animated reply. He cloeed his speech

in the following manner: "The people, in whose face and in whose behalf they acted, were a nobta and generous people, and if they swerved from their duty from the base motives of fear, that people would turn away from them wiih disgust and contempt; but if they conscientiously performed their duty, the people, although their decision might not be agreeable to them, would bestow upon them their hearty appiobation and applause. This was the ciisi? of fhpir ftp. If thev now timidly abdi-

- - - j cated l heir trust thev would i-ever be,

able to resume it. The righ's and li-

berties of (lie people, together with their own properties and title?, would be trampled in the dust. Their properties and titles they had received as a trust, and if they suffered them to be disgraced in their hands, they would be degraded forever. Perilous as their position was, he felt that they stood on a pinnacle before the face of the world, and if they did their duty as became them, they would receive the npproha tion of their own conf-ciet ces, and the applause of an enlightened and honorable community."

The rejection of the bill occasioned no little excitement. A meeting of two

hundred members of the House of Commons, not one of whom was connected with the government, was held on the 8th, at which it was resolved to support the Ministers in the most effectual sfpps for carrying the bill through. Earl Gray will not reisn, as is the ordinary course with a Minister when defeated in his measures. The tone of the London press, generally, is in favor of a

sufficient creation of Peer-, to ensure the passage of the bill. A London pa-
