Chafmax &, Spann : Permit rnc, through the medium of your valuable paper, to tender to the proprietor of the Palmer House, the physicians, and other, (and especially to Dr. M.

I learn from Washington that Mr. Trist and llerrera have completed the basis of a treaty between the United States and Mexico. The latter ced d Upper California and all the country east of the Uravo to our Government for s 15,000,000. This amounts to but little, if anything: but it caused a good deal of talk among the quid nunc last nizht, and tlitrcfore we give it for what it is worlh.

"Strike my mum from the Nottingham List." Tiic following letter speaks for itself, and shows the spirit which is beginning to manifist itself among many patriotic men who have heretofore ranked themselves among the whigs.

with and justify the Public Enemy with whom the nation is at War. The whig leaders at Washington may be guilty of the gross inconsistency of declaring war and voting men and money to prosecute it, and then turning round and swearing it is a wicked, Unholy andunjUit war, but they will find that though they are thus willing to stultify themselves, many of the honest rank and file of their party w ill utterly refuse to imitate so ridiculous: and unjustifiable a course. Nashville, Ind., Jan. 15, 1819. To Vie lldilors of Hie Indiana State Sentiwl : Gentlemen Through your widely circulated paper I wish to let the friends of democracy know w hore I stand, ns this is a time all rdiould be at their posts, and not let the enemy tane the advantage. I always whs for .Andrew Jackson fr President, and never voted for Clay, iur neer will. 1 voted for Win. H. Harrison, and have been since numbered with the whigs. Luit I was for the annexation of Texas, and now am for nil California, and lots more, if it can he got honorably. I volunteered in the company from old Ilrown, and am not sorry for so doing ; was elected Jd lieutenant in said company ; went to Mexico nnd was in the battle of lluena Vista, and saw the first cannon fired and the last, and have returned home and think 1 will go again if needed. I am in favor of the war, and believe it just on our part, and do think that all such men as Tom Corwin should he sent to Mexico and compelled there to stay for life. I am for a national convention, and will vote for the democratic nominations, be they whom they may. Now at this my whig friends will think strange; some have already thrown up their eyes like a scared coon. They looked wild at me when I subscribed for your paper. Now I will close by saying and hoping that succes may always attend our arms. P. C. PARKER.

mereoi.j Mr. Butler thru took the floor and spoke two hours in support of his modifications of the resolutions in relation to the Mexican war ; nnd when he treated of our taking Mexican territory as reluctantly as a sick man takes a dose of medicine. Gen. Cass stood up with his red face and fair proportions, and assured the gentleman from South Carolina that it wouldn't hurt a bit tho national stomach to swallow the whole of Mexico. The time of the House to-day, ha been occupied with the introduction of bills and resolutions. Mr. Chase of Tennessee, ollered o resolution, that it is inexpedient to withdraw our troops from the positions

which tl.cv have won in .Mexico to any designated

Letters from Indiana received to-d iy state that the democratic State convention of the f?th of January, have, w ith the exception of two votes, recommended General Cass as their candidate for the presidency. Washington Union, 18i inst. What gW, to (Jen. Cass, or any body else, such letters, as are above spoken of, can do, is more than we can imagine. It is very hard indeed to suppose that the wr.tcrs could be mistaken; for the Democratic S:ate Conventi n, by an unequivocal majority, re

fused to ex pros a preference for any man whatever, as a candidate for the Presidency. A resolution of the kind was introduced, but the mover saw the propriety of withdrawing it immediately. The true action of the State Convention, we repeat, va3 the reverse of that stated in the 'letters." The Democracy of Indiana, we arc proud to say it, are uncommitted to anv man. Notei.lv did not the State Conrention refuse thus to commit itself, but every county convention previously held to appoint delegates, with two or three exceptions only, avoided any such committal. Nearly all declared for principles and not men, except in so far as to pledge their support to the nominees of the National Convention. When those nominations shall be made the Indiana Democracy w ill be committed to the men thus declared to be the standard bearers of their principles; and not before. If there be one thing most gratifying to our feelings, it is this noble ai d honest and untrammeled position, voluntarily assumed by our party in this State.

We feel pride in it, because it is an attitude which we have always advocated, believing it to be eminently right; and because, consequently, we believe it to be always, in the tnd. the safest and most expedient ground upon whirh to take and maintain our stand. We may individually prefer Mr. Cass or some other man. That however is regarded as a minor consideration. We shall go for the Rational nominations strong. And if every other State will do as well as we are confident Indiana will do, the Democratic Party will be triumphant at the next Presidential election, and no m intake. Never at any period of her political history has

Indiana presented a bolder, firmer or more undivided j Democratic front than now ; and our opponents will; find, w hen the inevitable conflict comes on, that we J

shall die in our tracks, rather than yield an inch. In the coining contest we feel tii.t we are called upon to exert our 'utmost strength not only fi r the principles wli.ch we cherish, but also for the integrity und honor of our common country, which the Whig leaders, for sinister purposes, are endeavoring to jeopardize.

Tun Paciiic Suadkon. Letters from Commodore Shubrick, dated at Mazallan, November 7th, 1947, have been received at the navy department. The squadron, under Com. Shubrick, on the 10th of October captured and held Guaymas ; and on the 11th of November, took possession of Mazatlan. Some resistance was made at each place, but the American forces were successful against decided odds. The following extract, from a Valparaiso newspaper, gives some interesting intelligence of the movements of the ves?els-of-war in the Pacific: The ship-of-the-line Columbia, Captain Wyman, bearing the pennant of Com. Diddle, is here, lately from California. The Com. is en shore, staying at the American Hotel. She will remain till after November 1st, and then sail for the United States. Dr. Crump of Virginia, American minister resident in Chili, returns in her ; as does also E. It. Dorr, Esq., formerly American consul tor the city of Valparaiso. The frigate Chill sailed on the JJd, to cruise. California. July J5, the Independence, Com. Shubrick, and Congress, C..,tain Lavallette, were at San Francisco. The Dale, Selfnde, had sailed a few days previous for Monterey. The Preble hud not returned at that time from Cnllno. The sloop Warren, Hull, was at Monterey. The Portsmouth was off .Mazatlan. Later dates report no vessel blockading that port. The Cyane, Dupont, had gone to the Sandwich Islands : nnd the Lexington, L'ailey, about the middle of June was at .Monterey, soon to sail with troops to Santa Barbara, and thence to San Jose. The Erie Ins orders to return home, and may be soon looked for in our bay.

If wc may trust the indications of the whig journals, backed as they are by recent movements in Congress, the programme of tue policy of the whig parly is now fully matured, and has taken the shameless shape of a determined and desperate elfort to prolong the war indefinitely, and to prevent, at all hazards, the obtaining of a just and honorable peace from Mexico!

upon one question, .nr. i resiueni, nowhere throughout our wide country, is there any difference of opinion. However the war originated, whether necessarily or unnecesjanly, constitutionally or unconstitutionally, the war has existed, and his covered us over with glory. A voic?: That's good talking. As far as I am concerned, Mr. President, not only is the talk good but the voting will be just as gtod. Applause N man more deeply reg re's than I do the blood which has almost literally mired the Mexican soii; n body is more disposed than I am to weep over the heartrending agonies which the war has carried to the homestead: it is the result of all wars. ii;it there will be found, one hundred years hence, as the result of this war, that if we have not already by our army been able to ''conquer a peace, we have forever bee.i

able to 6ecure peace with the nations of the world. England has heretofore imagined that we were the universal dollar people. Mr. Duohanan, snita vnre, DolIar-i7g people. My friend on my left never forgets the word lovt r. Laughter. I repeat, sir, that England has heretofore imagined that we were the universal dollar-loving people; hut they have been taught, since the DU!i day of .May, lsl', that, much as we love the dollar, we love the honor"und glory of America infinitely more, (applause.) ai:d are prepared to t-petid the last dollar in the locker rather than surrender a single right of the American people. .Mr. President, my purpose was beside the gratification I have in being present on an occasion like this my single purpose was to offer a sentiment, and I should have said nothing if I had not been called out by a native of Maryland. Permit me to conclude by accomplishing my purpose. I give you

ihe army and volunteers: It they have not vet

him to the Old Iloy if it was necessary fr them to do it. As to Lieut. Col. Dumont, a braver man never entered the army, nor went into a battle field. I have been with him on scouting parties and on the the battle field : he acted as became an officer ; his society is sought after by all who become acquainted with him, with some exceptions, that is, the enemy ; they do not like him very well, for they meet with a most too warm reception at his hands. There is a

peace, if by no other mode than by snatching from

the department of our government in which they are lodged by the constitution, the c stody and charge of our negotiations with foreign powers, for the purpose

l of exposing tit our enemies tint those negotiations onli,

but the counsels of our executive government xpun which they are founded ! That the House of Representative has no right whatever to demand the publication of negotiations in an unfinished controversy with an enemy power, save in so far as the Executive may deem such publication

j to be compatible with the public interest," is a

principle as well settled by the provisions of our constitution nnd the immemorial and invariable practice of our government under that instrument, as any prin

ciple can be. That the right of an opposition party in accidental majority in nie house of Congress to call for the records of negotiations actually had ith a

; loreigu power, even w hen a case f or such a call bring up that power iu its fullest latitude subject, as it al

ways is, to the Executive discretion "ives that majority no right whatever to call for diplomatic instrttc-

tious, w hich our enemy has not permitted at all to

take the shape of negotiations, is a maxim not only

The Clay journals of New York, are amusing themselves by contrasting the replies of Gen. Taylor to the proceedings of his "whi friends," with those to the resolutions, &c, of Iiis "democratic friends," to show how impartially indifferent he is between them. The Express, for instance, prints side by s;!e th General's latest two Presidential letters, both from the Drazos both of the sime date both acknowlctlgmg the receipt of "proceedings at a public meeting" in Pennsylvania one addresse-d to the ultra whig An-

last. It will be remembered that this institution only began operations iu October last. There appeared to be on the stand some "0 or 'JO pupils. Wc were gratified with the evidence ef the rapid progress which had be-en made in so short a time, and believe that the expectations ef all are so far fully realized. They seem to be paiticularly apt in music, geography, and mental arithmetic iu the latter they will carry their calculations beyond belief to thoe who have not witnessed and tested the matter. It is claimed for them, and it seems to be true, that they learn faster than seeing children ; as a specimen, a boy, 12 years

of age, was brought forward, who entered the institution in October, who readily read from a plac. in a book which he had not previously tried. We have not time at present to make an extended notice, but would remark that could the people of Indian;., have been present, they would not regret their generous liberality towards this unfortunate but interesting class.

Five millions of this amount, I learn, is obtained by a provision which had been overlooked in the twenty-three million bill, to re-issue to that amount making this loan twenty-eight millions in fact, instead of twentythree millions.
