Resolved, That this Convention, reposing implicit confidence, in the firmness, integrity, patriotism and capacity of Richard M. Johnson of Ivy. most respectfully recommend this individual to ih several States of the confederacy r.s well qualified to succeed Andrew Jackson in the Presidency. "That, in prcsenth ihe name of R. M.Johnson as a suitable candidate for the Presidency, it is not the intention or desire of this Convention, to disparage in any degree, the claims of any other member of the Republican party for this elevated honor. But that in presenting his name, with all deference, it is the object and pledge of this Convention to yield freely and cheerfully, its united support to any other individual more prominent with the party and better calculated to promote the rights and interests of the country."

C. Stevens sold h's horse Medoc for $10,000 to a gentleman from Kentucky. Not wishing to part with so ftvorite an animal, he asked a price that he thought left hut little ris-k upon that score. Rut he w;is mistaken ihe gentleman ptid h'tn the money and walked olf with the horse :iud it is a little singular, that within twelve hours after, he hid an otH-r of the same sum from a gentleman from Virginia, who came on to purchase him, and thought him cheap at thai price. Double the sum obtained, bowever, would not have induced his owner, thorough sportsman as he is, to part with him, except upon the condition of his being withdrawn fiom the turf, lingoes to Kentucky as a stud. Medoc is an Eclipse colt, out of Young Maid of the Oaks, and will be five years old next spring. His color is sorrel, in that and other pirticul irs res milling his ire. Commercial Advertiser. From the Veto-Albany Gazette. NEW-ALBANY AS IT IS. The importance of this place is begining to be felt in all ihe western part of the State. It Ins, in all time past, been kept in the back ground, by causes too obvious to be here enumerated. Rut lb se are disappearing, under the enterprising spirit and industrious habtisof our citizens, and in a very short tune, we have strong hopes of seeing a heavy business transacted here, that Ins, heretofore, been done elsewhere. We, at the saint lime, look lo the same enterprise and industry, for a development of resources heretofore inactive and unemployed. The location of the plure gives it natural advantages, which want but ordinary attention lo make it I ho most eligible jMint for business in this part of the State?. Whilst the searching enterprise of man is left free to seek for employment, there is no danger but New Albany will alford a temptation to its ardent thirst Cor activity and gain. Few, however, who have not had an opportunity of observing its business", entertain a jusl idea of its consequence. The trade between it and I he counties back, is already great, and increasing; and tin? place Ins not the capital or establishments, to do a third of the business which daily passes through its streels, lo other markets; all which seeks for market and supplies here, be tore going any where else. This might, and we expect will, in a very short J lime, be stopped here. Nothing is lacking but capi tal to make !ew Albany able to manage all the business of this side of the Ohio, within convenient distance. A great deal of the river business, which now passes our place, might be stopped here, to the advantage of owners and boatsmen. These propositions require no proofs; they must appear evident to every one, knowing the situation of our town. A glance at the business done here, with the present limitrd capital, will show that our remarks re perfectly consistent with truth. There is no branch of business from which New Albany has rept greater advantages, or to which il is more indebted for its present prosperity, than to its industrious mechanics; and more especially, the Ship Carpenters and Founders. The transaction, in the department of building and fitting out of Steam Coats, exceeds three thousand dollars per annum, in this one line alone considerable additional investments might be made, immensely to the advantage of all the mechanics as we ll :i3 to the town. Valuable jobs are frequently turned otT. This is of course, occasioned by the scarcely of capital. In the single article of flour manufacture, our operations must have considerably exceeded one hun dred thousand dollars: and our mills have not hern able to take in a third of the Leat that has been offered in our market. The business in receiving and shipping, isgrcater than the establishments can manage. Much of it seeks accommodation at other places, only because it cannot meet it here. Our larger mercantile establishments are finding considerable custom in a wholesale business, and nothing is requested but an extension ofeapitd do all the business in that line, from the interiop J' the State. The trade of thirty-five or forty counties in this State, stops at,J passes through this town; hence, could we le;4abled lo rnanag.fi!, Indianaas well as New-jnywould be materially benefited. We want a State B.mk we wm i Braacfc Ur--wo rial ft Broach to to la- ... - -

sed on :i c iptal of five hundred thousand dollar. This would enable u?,ina short time, to wield a profitable trade for our3''lvcsf and establish a sura and convenient inatket for a brge portion of lb citizens of Indiana. Iron Ships. The English, it is well known, have, for a longtime been constrained lo import their material for ship building. Their ''hearts of onk" are now grossly expensive; and in consequence tf the competition, are becoming rapidly more? so. This is a tax which no Parliament can reform The hills of Old England aru now too thickly populated lo permit the growth of timber; and' even at foreign stations the supply ij annually diminishing, never, pcrli i ps, to bo renewed. Theso facts have forced the English to think of new, more lasting, and therefore less expensive materials for ship building. A writer in one of the Euyliah M ig tzincs proposes ihe use of iron instead of wood. lit; alleges that several iron steam-boats have been built, which have been completely successful: not only lasting much longer, but being proved in tempests much safer than the 'wooden vallaM of

the Navy. II adils Tin? spirit of prophecy is not needed lo convince us that many years cannot elapse ere iron will be substituted for wood in the construction of ships. Iron bull.-, properly fitted with air lubes, would be uiisinkabh even if leaky. I have heard it said that tho ditferenco in prima cost would not be very considerable; and the incre.ised demand for iron would tend to increase ficilities in its rnanuf icture. The quantity nfcm ployment for labor would also bo inct eased; and the expense of it would be compensated by the durability of vessels. We should produce, mechanism, a supply of metallic material, to supercede the vegetable material produced by iho chemistry of nature, saving thus both limn und the interest of capital employed in planting." Rapidity of Time. Swiftly glido cur years they follow each other like the waves of the ocenn. Memory calls up the persons we once knew, tlio scenes in which we once were nctor. They ap. pear before the niiml like the phnntoniB of the night vision. Heboid the boy, rejoicing in the guity of his soul the wheels of tune cannot move too rnpirily tor him. The light of hope dances in his eye ha looks forward to Jong years of joy to come hi spirit burns within him when he hears ofgrent men und mighty deeds, llo wants to be a man he longs to mount the hill of ambition to tread the path of honor, to hear the tdinuts of nppluu.M?. Look nt him again, he is a man in the ptcridian of life; rnrc lias t't'impcd wrinkles on his brow; disappointment hnn dimmed the lustre of his eye sorrow hf thrown its gloom upon Ua countenance. Who is he of tl u aged locks! His form is bent niul tottering a few more years of pain ruutt consign hini to the grnve. Such is human life; but feuch cannot be the ultimulo dettiny of man! Truth is Pvwrr. Some men ry that 'wealth is power, and eome, that 'knowledge is pewer;' nbovo them til, 1 would ustcrt that 'truth is power that wealth cannot overreach authority cannot filcticQ her; they all, like Felix, tremble ot her pretenre. Fling her in the most tremendous billows of j oj ular commotion; catt her in the sevenfold hented 1urnace of the tyrant wcclth; fhe mounts njoft in tlio ark upon the tummit of the deluge; the walks with the Sun of (lod untouched, through the confln ration. She is the miniKcrirg fpint which tlicon man that bright and indestructible principle of life, light and glory, which is given by his mighty Author to animate, to illumine, and inspirit the incrtnl ,1-oul; and which, like himself, is the panic yesterday, to-day and forever. When wealth, and talent. ana knowledge, and authority; when earth and heaven itself, hall have passed away, truth shall rise, like the angel of.Manoah'd sacrifice, upon tho 11 irne of nature'n funeral pyre, and ascend to her source, her heaven, find her home the boiom of the holy and eternal God. There is a difficulty among the people of Massachusetts, in relation to the marriage law. Tho statute provides that no matrimonial connexion is legal, unless solemnized by an "ordained and Etated rninisier,"and as many persons have been married before ministers, not stated and ordained, they arc unable lo decide whether ihey are m iried or single. This is certainly a serious matter. Advantage has been taken of the circumstance by soma who were tired of connubial felicity, and the law has failed in devising a punishment fur their fickleness.
