VICTORY OF THE THAMES. This memorable and brilliant achievement of the American arms, was celebrated at Indianapolis on Monday the 5th instant, by a public dinner. A very largo concourse of citizens from the adjoining counties were assembled and participated in the exercises of the day. The Democrat, in speaking of the number, says: "By the best computation we are able to collect, between 600 and a 1C00 perrons participated in the celebration, notwithstanding the unfavorable state of the weather." An oration was delivered by X. Bolton, Esq. one of the Editors of the "Democrat," which was well received by the company and ordered to be printed. We regret that its length precludes its publication at this time. "We have only room for the following letters and

ed by our State Legislature. 11. The State of Indiana. As one of the Union she loves the Union and will always exclaim "esto perpetua." Tin: Fair. Encouraged by their smiles even cowards would fight.

When the volunteer toasts were called for the following letters were read from invited guests: Boonyizxe, Sept. 23, 1S85. G extremes T have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 7th inst. inviting me to attend a "celebration of the victory of the Thames, at Indianapol is, on the 5th of October next." In reply, I have to state, that it would afford me much pleasure to unite with my friends and fellow citizens, in celebrating the ever memorable victory of the

1 names; but I am admonished bv the nresent fee

Indianapolis, at this time. Enclosed, I send you a

buted much to our happiness and prosperty as a na

tion, and if perpetuated in wisdom, the mind is incompetent to fancy or conceive what our destiny may be. The respectability of the celebration, both in numbers and character, and the spirit in which it was conducted, carry conviction to our mind., that Indiana rvill not be wanting on her part, in carrying out these principles by casting her electoral vote for the candidates of the rncrLX the nominations of the Baltimore Convention: 1 .

JIT. Johnson. The soldier without fear and the statesman without reproach. After the loud and continued cheering which accompanied this toast had ceased, Edward Van Ness, Esq. arose and made the following remarks:

Fellow Citizens As one of the Committee of

Correspondence, it becomes my duty to read to you a letter which has been received from Col. Johnson,

regretting his inability to attend on this occasion. From this letter, it will be perceived that the same indefatigable attention to public duties which has distinguished him through life, prevents his joining ns in the present celebration of a battle, in which he shone conspicuously, as well by his talents for command, as his individual courage as a soldier. His

Engaged during the vacancy as well as the session of Congress in studying and laboring for the public interests, their adjournment brings no day of rest to Jiim; even now he is laboring for the people. From the earliest dawn of his manhood, he has been their faithful servant; from the earliest maturity of his intellect, he has devoted all his energies to his country, a country ever ready to acknowledge the claims, and reward the labors of those who faithfully servo her; hut rejecting, disdainfully, the pretentions of selfstyled heroes and hike warm patriots. Much as we may be disappointed in not seeing Col. Johnson on this cccason, we cannot but rejoice at the principal cause of his absence, as it gives him additional claims to our love and gratitude. Gnn.vT Crossing, I8th Sept. IS35. GcsTLTniEN: I have received your invitation to join the citizens of Indianapolis, in the celebration of the Battle of the Thames, on the 5th of October. It was by a bloody war, that cur fithers achieved their independence, and transmitted it to us; it was also by a sanguinary conflict with the same powerful nation, commenced in 1812, that we sustained that independence unimpaired I therefore rejoice to sec measures taken by my follow citizens to revive a recollection of those events, which inspire a love of country; and to convince the rising generation, that however unfortunate the truth, the price ofliberty is blood, and to prepare every mind to support our free institutions, at all times, at every sacrifice, and at every hazard. The humble though faithful part which I acted on that occasion, has given me a prominence, which I did not expect. My tolc object was to vindicate my bleeding country; nnd to teach tyrants to tremble at an attempt to enslave a free people. It was at the head of my gallant regiment, that I performed this duty sustained by them we were successful. Without their united effort, I was nothing; but with their bravery and gallantry, the victory was won; and to them. 1 have always given the glory and the honor. Whatever merit has been given to me by my country, it has been without my seeking and if in their gratitude they have given me more than my due proportion, I am not to blame. I was a member of Congress when Indiana was a mere Territory; I voted to admit her into the Union as a State; she then had rSO.lXn) souU: now she can boast of probably more

thin nno.OOO. Thisrisincr rrrcatness is evidence of

what Indiana will be in time to come, under a wise administration of her affairs. To receive an invitation to attend the celebration of the Battle of the Thames at the seat of government cf the risinrr State of Indiana, is a source of

much gratification, and it is an honor I hope never to forget and I shall treasure it up in the fond recollections of a grateful heart. I have a very anxious desire to comply with the wishes of my friends, in attending your festival. But the real and undisguised truth is, that I find myself so constantly engaged, in attending to my public duties and my private concerns, that I cannot comply with the wishes of my friends, at various points where I have been invited, without a vital injury to my own private in

terests, and to those public duties which follow me home, in the recess of Congress; and I have concluded to put myself upon the kindness of my friends to excuse me. Instead of my presence, I will send you the following sentiment: The Side of Indiana. Rich in soil, rich in the industry of her citizen?, rich in her salubrious climate may her riches ever be still more abundant; and in her moral worth, and her love of liberty, civil and religious, may stand pre-eminent.

It was to him, high gratificaiion and a sufficient honor, to have received an invitation to mingle with his fellow-citzens in their patriotic commemoration of a great event r-nd a great victory the Battle of the Thames.

The company to be authorized to hold lands in the alluvial region, by purchase or donation from the government, or private persons, and to sell the same. 4. The company folnvc power to reclaim the alluvial region, by dikes and drains, or any other means

and to construct canals and open the navigation of streams therein, and to exact tolls for tiaviuation thereof. 5. To collect dues from landholders in the alluvial region, who may not be stockholders for tha re

From the North River Times. Romantic Adventuue; Married. In this village on Tuesday evening last by John Stagg, Esq., of Clarks town Miss Hester Ann Evens, of Orange county, to Mr. LeviSmItu of this town. The circumstances attending this marriage, are somewhat singular; but having had a happy termination, and having produced some little amusement in the neighborhood, we have thought best to give them to our readers correctly. Mr. Smith formerly resided in Walden, and for some length of lime paid his addresses to Miss Evens. He was honest in his attentions, and the wedding day was named. At this juncture of tho affair, some evil disposed person whispered calumny in the ear of Mr Smith against the object of his affections his jealousy was aroused, and he precipitately left the place. This happened in July, and Miss Evans having learnt the cause of his sudden departure, made evcrv enouirv. with l,

hope of finding and convincing him of his error but all to no purpose. Confident that her friend was laboring under a false impression, confident of her ability to convince him of his error, and relying implicity on his honor when so convinced, about a week since she came to tho romantic determination of leaving her friends and home and of searching out his abode, if, indeed, he were yet living. The world is called cruel and unfriendly it may be so'; but we have yet to learn an instance," where a female ever ventured forth upon a laudable undertaking but that thcworld assists her at every step. So in the present instance, our fair heroine proceeded to Newburgh, where she soon fou'nd those who interested themselves in her bchaff, and who, on enquiry, ascertained that a Mr. Smith, some weeks since look passage from that place to New York. She proceeded to New York in tho first boat, ar

rived on the following morning, and entered that immense city a total stranger, to seek among a population of two hundred and seventy thousand, a single individual, who in all probability, was unknown to them all. Probability, nay tve may say, possibility, was against her. But she carried withirt her breast a woman's heart, which actuated by the holy fire of love, thought only of success. The very idea of a young and inexperienced, and unprotected female, entering a vast city, to search among a heterogeneous population for a fugitive lover, appears incredible; but such is the fact nor was she unsuccessful. Countless were the dangers she passed; but surmounting every obstacle, she pursued her inquiry, until, at last, she learned that a person, bearing the description of Mr. Smith, had, with a view, probably of more effectually hiding himself from the world, taken passage in a boat for little Rocky Rockland. Hither she proceeded, and landed at Grassy Point. After making every necessary inquiry atthatplacc she hired a conveyance and came to this village on Tuesday last. Here

uie romantic ana dangerous journey was brought to a close her she received ihe reward for all her toil and all her labor.
