We have ' been half si-k, ourselves, during the past two weeks, which has prevented our paying proper attention to any body or any thing. But if we regain our health, I we exp-et to do, we shall make up tor all delicien- ' cies and d M.nquencics. In every other respect, except health, we are better prepared than ever before to work with both heads and hands. fVte, too, in all respects; and especially from that doubtful blessing, the State printing, whose place is supplied by much more profitable and Ian troublesome work. We feel better and richer without it than ever we did wi?h it. We have enough to do, and are fret .'

But he seems to desire to try his own speed and b ttom in the same line, under the head of "the official Gazette of tiie State." He can't throw toed h onor' Jf w;th his w hig friend at Crawfordsville, however, and he had better not endeavor to em i'ate him.

"Can we sit up?" Well, we can't do anything else ! It's our trade ! The temper of -he young gentleman editor of the Crawfordsville "Tress," appears to be rligbtly raffled, ' judging by the following commencement of an "expcctorati"n" devoted to us, under date of Nov.

And tiie editor winds up by threatening us with a stiere b'w.guarding! Well, we shall have to stand it, we suppose; but shall endeavor in the Man tune to console ourselv with the jiaragraph of the editor of the Press,' published two or three weeks ago, m allusion to our session papers, in which he spoke of us thus: The State Sf.ntine:.. The editors of this, the best locofco paper in the State of Indiana, and amont the very bet in the L'nion, propose, BS usual," &ic. Sic. Bali nman Road. We find the föllon ing paragraph in the Log.uisport Telegraph of .Nov. 13. l an't something be done upon tins end of the road ! There is plenty sf gravel in the bed of river of which a lirst rate turnpike could be made for some miles, and then plank, or what we think is better and cheaper, charcoal, might be used. The stock would be profitable to the owners, and the road to everybody. Let us do something : 4Ve are informed by Mr. IJ. Spader the treasurer of tiie Michigan Road company that preparatory steps aril be taken to commence work on the road on Monday next. Owing to the lateness of the season, not much can be done this fall and winter, but by begmiriir at this time, it will jive an earlv start in tne spring. We understand that many pers .us are in favor of changing the plank road, the one now designed, into a railroad. W'e hope this will not be done. Much as we are in favor of a railroad from this place to Indianapolis, yet, we would not lie willing to change the plank road for the railroad. Tue jwople here and on the road will be vastly more b'-ne-lited by the former than the latter, leaving out of the question the old adage that "a bird in the hand is worth two in tiie bush." If we persevere and use proper exertion, with a corresponding spirit on the part of our neighbors of Indianapolis, we shall have a g d road to Indiana;K!is before t wo years; whereas, if we change it into a railroad, we may all grow gray before we see it completed. W'e do not wish, however, to slssciMI' BgSl the friends of a railroad, we would do all in our power to help it along, but let it be 'perate and apart from the former. If a company can be formed and the stock subscribed, we sa go ahead, and let it progress, side by side, with the plank road. IJut to the friends of the plank road wc say, stick to it unto death, nuf let any illusory notions about a rail or any other road, divert vou from it; and you Will see. that, while OChefS are still tsdking about railroads, we shall have a good road, with four horse teams loaded w itli the produce of the country, and newehsn filed with travellers arriving here daily." fj-The Madison Bssmsf actually hs expressed its belief of the want of 44 a decent Hotel," in that tow m ! This is an evidence of public spirit, progress, and improvement, which will be hailed with universal satisfaction bv all persons who are compelled by the force of circumstances to stop at Madison. Certainly the Banner has assessed a large debt of deep gratitude upon the travelling public, for such a suggestion ; but we h'ipc the Madison capitalists will be poverned by their usual prudence and sagacity, and i;ot run into any scheme of wild speculation, unless thev can get the State to stand between themselves and all chance of loss J (r-It is stated by the Madison Courier, that the fl it ir n on the railroad, between (intfith's and Columbus, Bt to be removed, and T rail to he put in its place.

Correspondence of the nliana State Sentinel. Washington, Nov. 24, 1M7. A week ago to-day, about an hour after I had mailed my last epistle to you, I laid my eyes upon the resolutions nflbred by .Mr. ( "lav on the 13th inst., at his HUM meeting 111 Lexington, together with the very brief synopsis of his accompanying speech, that was published with tin in. It would be affectation IB nie to say that they had not been looked for with great Solicitude. Onphe contrary, many had expressed to me their abiding faith that they would be found to contain more wisdom than had previously dropped from the lips of an American statesman in all this controversy upon the .Mexican war question. It would likewise be affectation in me to say that it was not received here by the federalist! with highly delighted feelings; but it was amusing in the extreme to note the different degrees of delight manifested by different individuals; for we have here, in the employment of the general government, a great many federalists from every section of the Union, and of every imaginable phase; audi think it would have taken a thermometer with some Ml) or 400 degrees marked upon it, to have developed the different degrees of admiration w ith which as many of my federal official acquaintances received, read, and digested them. All admit, that thev are orthodox irhigg ry : but this is the only point upon which there is unison. Tue Taylor w ing say "the resolutions are certainly the very quintescence of whiggery ; but if ire go to battle upon them 111 1 r4"T are are, to a moral certainty, a badly beaten party." The McLean a ing say M the resolutions are wing to the eure; but tbey ara not so dignified and circumspect as might have bees expected from so learned a man and so great a statesman as Mr. Clay." Tue northern wing, the calculation tStSf from the land of dough-nuts and pumpkin p. es, think r the doctrines of the resolutions are irrefragable, incontrovertible, unanswerable, and unquestionably good whig doctrines;" but they "cannot, upon the whole, see any thing in them that equal the talents manifested by .Mr. Webster, in his speech at the last .Massachusetts whig convention." But it was Mill more amusing to observe the temperature of the Clay column : if would, most undoubtedly, have boiled .Mercury, even if it could have found a limit there : their expressions of delight fell so fast and thick, and for words seemed so to have ransacked every dictionary extant, that I could not, for the life of me, catch a moment to take a note. New, to quit lare company, if it isall the same to you and vour readers, I will express my opinion of them. The whole of those words need to till up those eight long resolutions, take but two positions one absolute and the other conditional. Tiie absolute one is, that the whig party is opposed to any acquisition of territory ; and the conditional one that ij we do acquire additional territory, the whig party is opposed to the admission of slavery into it; and this doctrine will be, north and south, adopted by the Whig politicians: no divisions, as such, will exist: individuals who have heretof re supported Mr. ( lay. in the south, may drop him ; but their number will not be sufficient to constitute a disaffected portion of the whig party. In the non-slave holding states, on the Other hand, he will stand higher with bii party than ever. I say these eight long resolution take hut these two pu-s.-ions : the remainder is nothing on eartn but a repetition of the common, Luv, partisan slang that distinguishes the federal press of the day ; consisting of abuse lieaued upon the administration for nut carrying on the war without money, and without the loss of a tingle man on our part, together with a fair portion of egotism about what Mr. U. would do if the people would only elect him President : the more full meaning of which is more directly hinted at in his speech, wiiere he drops the cry modest rem irk that he will undertake to end the war in sixty hours. I have never observed any thing, since 'Jen. Taylor wrote himself to death, in the political horizon that indicated to me anv Other individual as the next whig candidate for the presidency than Henry Clay; and tlu,'e Lexinjrton res dntions confirm me more and

more in that bt lief. n the score even of availa bility, he is decidedly the mos prominent aspirant for the nomination. Even before be put forth these resolutions, no man in his party was so eminently qualified, in every respect. In be .ts candidate: and now he id still more so. Gen. Taylor might run better in the south, or Judge McLean in the north; but where is the man in the whig party that can get its full vote in every section of the Union that .Mr. ( lay can ? He alwayi Ana received this full Vote, and always will and no otner man in the party f.ni receive it. What olht r whig from the south can receive the enthusiastic support of northern w bigs that .Mr. I '. do.s ! None! And think you that whigs never weigh these matters? Far from it! These Lexington resolutions will, I rcpctt, elevate .Mr. t lay with the whig party of the non-slave holding states, and procure for him, it' he hveN and enjoys unimpaired health until the convention meets, the whig nomination f r the presidency. And need I say that eternal vigilance, union and harinonv in our ranks, are the Only things that ever have mf mi or ever will defeat him! When was the democratic party divided that it did nota 1 When was it united that it d:d not triumph ti. W K. Qkeased Heels A Rack and a Fight. Two rivals, suitors for tlx hand ot' a pretty Hoosiev girl, recently settled t.'iejr disputes in the most original manner. With the consent of the lady, it wae agreed that she should live nrith I hew week shunt the lady to choose Which 1 them should be honored with the first week's visit. The lady, however, declined mak m any choice, when ;i foot race was agreed upon to decide who should have the first chance. Jane s Howman was tre winner. At the end of the lirst week, the lady promptly repaired to the residence of .Mr. Robert '.'lark, her other soitor. After remaining with the latter a week, she did not seem at first inclined to return to her ßrsl lover, when a regular light ocmrred, which eansed tier erhole party to be arrested. This is one of the richest cases we have seen for a 1 sig tune. We shall see what disposal the court makes of the matter. West. tris.

Wre take the following paragraph from the Xew Orleans National of the 9th ult. : M The two Kentucky regiments, portions of which are now in this city, have attracted universal admiration for their line appearance; probably no two regiments were ever formed of better material officers and men are of tne very chivalry of Kenluckv. We have had some hope, tor Mexico, but we have now come to ihe conclusion that when this last lot of Kentuekiani get on her soil she will be 'done up.' " The Kentucky whig papers copy the above very freely ; but they forget to acknowledge the fact that a large numbe r of the 4 Kentucky1 volunteers are Jndiamiant, whom they prefer to libel rather than to pra.se.

John A. Dix, at the JStuyvesaut Institute, hefoie a large aud.enee. .Mr. D. pioDOOBced an sJoqeent eulogy upon tiie departed statesman. The plate is of the richest and m srt elegant kind; highly wrought, and mostly beaten out of the solid bar. In dollars and cents it is valued at about suu:.". and weighs near 50 p unds. comprising 11 pmcoa. Lien. Dix is to present it in person to .Airs. Wright, at her private residence. It is nuderstood that her health has severely so fibred from her severe bereavement. .V. V. Jour, of Cam. Nov. 18. AffW Ca r.. ai i tv. Tne Hon. Abbott Lawrence in a letter addressed to Wm. C. I Uvea on the !6th January, 140, says : " In les than twelve months, after the new plan the tariff of 1846 shall have been in operation, this whole country w ill be literally surfeited with foreign merchandise; (if it be not so, the revenue will fall short of ihe wants of the Federal Grovarnment.) We shall then owe a debt abroad of millions of dollars, which must lie paid in com.

Tne Xew York Herald says t4Is it possible tint any man, pretending to he a statesman, claiming to be an American, and willing 1 to stand by his couiHry, can come forward and calmly propose that all these advantages all this blood and treasure that all these fruits shttld be abandoned and thrown away, and tint wo should call baek our armies, evacuate tin? country, and retire to our own borders without exacting indemnity for the past and eeurity for the future .'
