DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE fur president JACKSOir.

Appointment by the President, JSy and with the advice and consent of the Senate. JOHN bfENCEli lo be Keceiver of Public Modcjs for (he District of Lands subject to sale at Fort VVayne, in the State of Indiana, vice Jonathan McCarfy, resigned. The appointment of our townsman, Col. Spencer, to the office of Receiver of Public Moneys at Fort Wayne, we believe to be as acceptable, to men of all political parties in this atate, as any which could have Been made. For integrity of character and business babita be has no superior; and we trust bis merits will be as highly appreciated by the community of Fort Wayne, as they are by (hat which be is abaut to leave.

07 Owing, it is presumed, to the late fresh, et, no Indianapolis ppers have been received at our Post Office of later date than last SatHrday. Consequently we are in arrears with the proceedings of the Legislature. Most of our exchange papers have arrived very irregularly for the last ten days; during which time very little has been received from C ngress.

The ice in Licking River broke up on Saturday morning last, and rushed into the Ohio with such violence as greatly to injure the steam boats lying at the q'iay, in Cincinnati. The New Jersey, Chesapeake, and Lidy Washington were entirely destroyed. The La-iy Washington had no insurance. The New Jersey was insured for $5,000 by the Cincinnati Insurance Company, and 5,030 by the Oaio Company. The Captain and crew narrowly escaped with their lives. The Chesapeake was insuted for $3,000 in the Ohio Insurance Company, and for $8,000 at Louisville. The ice in the Ohio moved off about 2 o'clock on Sunday, and the river soon fell 5 or 6 feet, leaving the steam boats Com panion, Senator, Robert Fulton, and Guyandolte dry upon the quay. The river has since risen so as to float them.

Grn aud's Will The whole amount of Mr. Girard's estate is estimated to be from 6, to $8,000 000. He has left two millions for the establishment of a public school for the city and county of Philadelphia; 300,000 to the State of Pennsylvania, to be subscribed to the Danville and Pottsv.lle Rrail-road ; 500,000 for improving the docks in front of the city. There are but two legacies to individuals exceeding 10,000.

The news most favorable to General Jackson Is at present received through the channel of the opposition papers. There have been meetings in a majority of the states, got up by a few discontented individuals, with the design of creating something like an appearance of opposition to the candidate of the people. The main business of these meetings was the appointment of delegates to the Clay Convention, recently held at Baltimore. They show, in a very strong light, the immense disparity in point of numbers and character, between the friends of the President and those enlisted in the support of Mr. Clay. The proceedings of the Baltimore Convention, and their address to the people of the United States have been published; and did our limits permit, we would copy them at full length; for we doubt whether we could render a more acceptable service to the cause of Gen . Jackson than by so doing. The Address, from title-page to colophon, abounds with statements which every one, who has examined the public documents, knows have no foundation in truth ; and it can excite no other feeling, in an enlightened community, than contempt for its authors and an increased devotion to the man and his mtasures they so maliciously calumniate.

Mr. Clay is now identified with the party, christen it as you will, which had well nigh plunged our country into a civil war, at a period when we were a sectnd time contending for independence with the most powerful nation of the globe; a party, whose avowed principle of action is an implacable hostility to the principles of that party to which, as a Democrat, Mr. Clay once claimed to belong; and every republican who favors the pretensions of this apostate, does it in defhnce alike of reason and feeling. On the other hand, Gen. Jackson has stood shoulder to shoulder with the democracy of the country, and fought with them the good fi?ht. till their cause is triumphantly established, and he will not be deserted. For their own future peace of mind we wish his eremies converted; but from no other motive. We want not their ,aid. At the next election their voice will be scarcely heard. At present the Clay party ac quire their chief importance from the frequent notices they receive from their opponents. We can almost believe that the vision of Junius prophetically extended to Mr. Clay, when he said. he will fall back into a silent senator, and hardly supporting the weekly eloquence of a newspaper. The gentle breath of peace would leave him cn the surface, neglected and unreored. It is only the tempest which lifts him from his'place.'

James Turner has been convicted of the murder of his brother, at Fairfield, OhioJohn Moran, convicted in N. Y.of manslaughter, for killing his wife by striking her with a tobacco pipe, has been sentenced to the Penitentiary for six months. The Opelousas Gazette states that the sugar crop in Louisiana has been greatly injured by the severe and long continued frosts. There were 504 buildings erected in Cincinnati, during the year 1831. Thirteen steamboats were built there during the same period.

IA'DUJY TITLES LY LYDLiJWi. The bill making an appropriation to enable the President to extinguish the Indian title to land in Indiana was taken up, in the Senate of the United States, on Tuesday, Dec. 22. Mr; White, (chairman of the com mittee on Indian Affairs,) observed that bills similar to the one then before the Senale, had been reported for two or three sessions without having been final

ly acted upon. The subject had first been brought to the notice of the Senate by a memorial from the legielature ol Indiana, who represented that eome of the tribes in that S'ate were so situated as to he very much incommoded by Ihe progress of the new cnr:a!; and that it was very desirable, if the Indians could be induced to eeli, to remove them, to the end that the State might the better carry on its public woi Us, and poess a population bordeiing on the canal, more suitable than the Indians to such a situation. At the hist session of Congress a bill for the purpose contemplated by the present one, had passed the Senate with but little difficulty; but it had from some cause or other, failed in the other House. The subject never having been finally acted on, the Senator from Indiana, (Mr. Hanna,) had brought it into view, by introducing the resolution on which the present bill had been predicated; and that gentleman could give further information, if this explanation were not deemed sufficient. As to the blank to be filled, it had been originally occupied with the sum of forty thousand dollars, and before the passage of the bill of last session, cut down to twenty thousand dollars. He would, therefore, move to fill the blank with the last mentioned sum of twenty thousand dollars. Mr. King rose to inquire of the chairman what was meant in the bill by the words "adjacent to Indiana." The bill proposed, said Mr. K.' to extinguish the Indian title to land in the State of Indiana and adjacent thereto. He wished to know the meaning of this phraseology, in order that he might better understand the whole purport of the bill. Mr, Hendricks replied, that the particular phraseology alluded to by the

gentlemen from Alabama, was introduced in order to authorize the purchase of the whole of the lands on which the Pattawatamies were settled, part of which tribe was in Indiana, a part in Michigan and a part in Illinois; and this tribe, it had been understood, wished to sell out and remove. The question was then taken on filling the blank with the sum of 20,000 dollars and carried. Mr. King, in order to be more explicit, moved to amend the bill by striking out the words "adjacent thereto," (as noticed above,) and inserting the words "Illinois and Michigan." Mr. Hendricks objected to the amendment inasmuch as it might possibly be considered to sanction a departure from the real meaning of the bill, and exhaust the appropriation of $20,000 by diverging it to other objects than those contemplated. It was intended only to extinguish titles of the Miamies and Potawatamies, the former of whom were settled wholly in Indiana, and of the 1 at.

tr, a pa'rt of the tribe resided in that State a part in Illinois, and a part in Michigan. With thi3 view of the subject, it appeared to him that the amendment would have the tendency to authorize a latitude ol "const ruction which the gentlemen seemed anxious to avoid, Mr. E-ving suggested a modification of the amendment by substituting the following, "and so much of the land owned by Potawalamies as lies within the States of Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan." Mr. King having accepted the modification, the amendment wa3 adopted, and the bill ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. Mr. Foot from the committee on pensions, to which had been referred the petition of Daniel Reddington, made an unfavorable report thereon, which on motion of Mr. Hendricks, was oidered to lie on the table. Mr. Benton gave notice that he would, to-morrow, a?k leave to introduce a bill to reduce the price of the public lands. Ou motion of Mr. Marcey, The Senate went into the consideration of Executive business, and when tbe doors were opened, adjourned.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. December 21. On motion of Mr. Boon, it was Resolved, That the Committee on Internal Improvements be instructed to inquire into the expediency of making an appropriation for the purpose of improving ihe U. S. post road Irom Louisville, in Kentucky, to St. Louis, in Missouri. On motion of Mr. Carr, it was Resolved, That the committee on the Public Linda be instructed to inquire

into the expediency of reducing the price of the public lands, and that they graduate the price thereof in such manner that the refuse lands which remain unsold in districts which have been culled may be otleredto purchasersata less price per acre than the minimum price of the public lands, securing to the actual settlers for a specified ttrm of time, the opportunity or privilege of purchas ing the quarter section, half quarter

section or quarter section by him improved. Od motion of Mr. McCarty , it was Resolved, That the committee on Internal Improvements be instructed lo inquire into expediency of authorizing the State of Indiana to construct a road through the public land, from the southern Bend of the St. Joseph's river by Fort Wayne, to Lawrenceburgh , in

en the 0;ir State line, west of Oxford, by Liberty, Milton, Newcastle Muuccy!own, and Goshen, to the northern boundary of the State of Iadiana; and of granting to ihe State of Indiana each alternate section of the unappropriated public lands through which said roads may pass, on each side thereof, for the construction of the same.

From the Cincinnati Gazette. The following letter received by a gentleman in this city, we are permiled to lay before our readers: Nashville, Dec. 31, 1831. "I have just ai rived in Nashville. You have, I have no doubt, heard ere this, that the steamboat Favorite struck a snag and sunk in Bordeaux chute, on the Mississippi river. The boat was, so soon as the water fell so as to get out any goods, attacked by an armed party from the Arkansas territory, and robbed by them and burnt by them, or by accident. Nearly every thing was,

therefore, taken away by force, that had not in fact been destroyed by the sinking and burning of the boat, and her remaining under water several days. The hands left to take care of the boat, although assisted by some neighboring gentlemen, were wholly unable to resist the force ; all assistance that could be obtained was procured immediately. In consequence of sinking and burning, and this attack, all the cargo or nearly all on board, was wholly lost or destroyed. Respectfullv. THOMAS B. WINSTON, Clerk of steamboat Favorite.

Thursday, Dec. 29. In the Senate, yesterday after the presentation of various petitions and memorials, and first and second readings of bills, the following bills were read the third time and passed. The bill to amend the net passed for the benefit of George Johnson, 2d March, lS30,the bill for the relief of John H. Harrison; the bill to revive and continue in force the act providing for reporting the decisions of the Supreme Court; and the bill supplementary to the several laws for the sale of the public lands. When the bill to provide for the armament of certain fortifications of the United States came up, Mr. Benton, from the Committee on Military Afairs, moved its indefinite postponment. A short debate then followed, in which the motion was supported by Messrs. Benton, Hayne and Holmes, and opposed by Mr. Smith, The question was finally decided by yeas and nays in the affirmative, yeas 31, nays 7. The Senate spent a short time in the consideration of Executive business. In the House of Representatives, among the petitions presented was one by Mr. Choate, of Mass., from a lady named Smith, the widow of Lieut. Jesse Smith, of the United States1 Navy, one of the gallant and ill-fated crew lost in the sloop of war Hornet. Mr. Wicklilfe, from the Public Lands Committee, reported a bill to grant preemption rights to actual settlers on the public domain who might purchase a quarter section of land at the rate of one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre. It was read twice and committed. A large number of private bills were discussed and acted upon; and the military appropriation bill for 1832, was introduced by Mr. McDutlie, from the Committee of Ways and Means, and read twice and committed to a Committee of the Whole on the slate of the Union. The resolutions of Mr. Blair, of Term., and Mr. Duncan, on the subject of the distribution of the pubic lands, were further discussed until the close of the hour when the House took up the question of the South Carolina claims, (the special order of the day,) which was passed through the Committee of the Whole and afterwards considered in the House till the adjournment.
