This has not been done to a degree commenur&te with the plan projiosed.

JOHN D. DEFREES, Editor Journal. 43-tDecl CHAPMAN'S Sc S PAN N , Editor Statt Sentinel State Convention ! Are our friends alive to the importance of our next State Convention 1 Are they prepared 1 Arc the delegates selected, and euch as will attend t These arc important queries, and every democrat in the State is interested to see that they ore attended to. No time is to be lost. We have a wily foe, and consequently it behooves us not to sleep on our arxr.s, because we feel flushed with victory ! Marion County. The citizens of this county should now bestir themselves to select their delegates to the State Convention, to be held on the 8th of January ensuing. It has been suggested that a County Convention be held at the Court House in Indianapolis, on Saturday, the 30th day of December, for the purpose of nominating delegates. The County Comipi, therefore respectfully invite the several wvvnships to appoint, forthwith, their dclega t0) attend said County Convention, and recommend the day named. It is hoped that every township will be fully represented. tüD. Centre Township. A meeting of the Democratic citizen of Centre Township is recommended to be held at the Court House, on Saturday, the 10th of December, at I) o'clock P. M., for the purpose of choosing delegates to the County Convention. Let there be a good turnout. OrOnc of the most ingenious stoves that we have ever seen, is now in operution at the State Library. It is called Race's Patent Stlf ''Regulating Stove ; and it actually dues of itself what its designation imports : i. e. it regulates the hcut, or amount of combustion, of itself. It ousjht to take the place of those Franklins now in the Senate chamber and Hall of the House. If the members regard their own comfort and health, as well as economy, they will order this to be dement once. Old members will not need argument to satisfy them of this, and new members will be convinced of the fact by the close of the session, if not before. Many a member has had hi' health perinanctlv injured, and some have lost their lives, by the present bad arrangement for heating and veutill&tion. We don't intend this as a mere putY of the? new siovc we have alluded to, though we know it value in that aspect ; but we speak as a matter of duty to members of the Legislature. Small Pox t. Varioloid. If any young gentle man, medical tyro, or what not, will concisely state to us the difference betw een email pox and varioloid, we will agree to bestow upon him a reward commensurate to the task, a task, we suppose, quite as easily accomplished a to discover the difference between tweedledum and twccdlcdce. Of course he will be at liberty to consult uny standard medical treatise. The word to be sure can be found in some modern English dictionaries, but not in Hooper's Lexicon, nor any standard medical book that we know of. It is in fact, a scientific vulgarism, or in common parlance, a humbug. We admit, however, that there is this utility in tliC varioloid notion, it sometimes quclU the ri diculous panic of people about the small j. ox. There' is a good deal in a name, after all. U have had what is called varioloid ; and if a man can be brought who has had a harder siege with small pox, he will be a sight, that's all. Volunteers Extra Pay. Those volunteers from this State, who have not received their extra pay, will notice that personal application should be made immediately to the paymaster at this place. There are so many forms and ceremonies to be complied with, that with the expense attached, it is doubtful in our minds whether there would be much left, coupled with the expense of travelling many miles to and fro in the present state of the roads. Powers el attorney left with us, signed by the individuals themselves, and certified by a Notary Republic, is not sufficient with the paymaster. Therefore we shall forward them to Washington, where perhap they will meet with better success. Oysters! Oysters! Our young friend, Wm. McQuiston, the gentlemanly baggage master of one of our passenger Railroad trains, has presented us with a can of as fine and fresh oysters as can be found in any part of the United States, and we speak by the book. Mr. McQ. is agent for C. IL Waiden, at Madison, who receives them fresh and alive in the shell by Rurke &. Co.'s fast ex press, in advance of the mail, daily. Mr. McQ. will furnish families, or public houses, with cans, half cans, or in the shell, at reduced prices, viz: $1 75 whole can ; 00 cents half can. Wc advise all desirous of obtaining this luxury, to call on Mr. McQuiston. It is said W. J. Brown. Esq., of this State, has been appointed Minister to France! We don't credit it, as Mr. Polk certainly lias more regard for his country than to have it thus represented abroad. Journal. 67-The above is telegraphic news. It may be true, or false. Rut we should be glad if it wtro true. It would be far from the worst of J'olk's acts, as our neighbor seems to think ; and we have no doubt that Mr. Brown's conduct would more than justify any confidenae which the President would thus manifest in his favor. Numerous lies, by the way, were told against Mr. Rrown during the canvass ; and this is an additional reason with us to hope that the telegraph has not lied in making him Minister to France. The Greeley; Game. The editor of the South Bend Register has been trying his hand in getting up a "Union Meeting" of Jhe Whigs and Free Soilers of St. Joseph county. It could not bo made to work, however. The Free Soilers were too smart for the Whigs, and refused to meet th?m, whereupon the Register man lets off a couple of columns of twattle on the subject. Keep cool, gentlemen ! fT The Order of Odd Fellows of Philadelphia, have purchased a lot of ground, containing thirty-two acres, at the price of $1000 per acre, situate on Islington lane, about two hundred yards east from Ridge Road, for Cemetery purposes. The size of each lot will be eight by ten feet, and the price ten dollars. Upwards of nine hundred lots have already been subscribed for. OrJudge Brackenridge, once Gen. Jackson's private secretary, together with his son, were each fined 100 by Judge Patten for contempt of court, at Pittsburg, Pa., recently.

Homestead Exemption. The following was introduced into the Senate, on Tuesday, by Mr. Stewart : A Bill to exempt a limn? stead from forced sale in certain cas's. Src. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, Thai a hoiretead, coii-is'iOii of any quantity of Und nut exceeding foity acres, and the dwelling huue Ihereon and it. pcuilei.anct s, tu be selected by the owner theicuf, and not included in any tecorsYd lown plat or city or vilhe, or instead tneicof, at the iption of the owner, a quantity if land nut exceeding in amount one lot, being within a ucuidrd town plat orcny or vill i;e, and the dwelling bou-.e (hereon and i(s appurtenances, owned and otcupied by any resident of this Slate, shall not be sut ject to fmced ale on execution, or any other final process from a cuui(, for any debt or debts growing out tif or founded upon contiact, either expicss or implied, made after the founh day of July, A. U. IS49. Sec. 2. Such exemption shall not ex'end to any mortgage theitou lawfully obtained, but Mich mntgae or other alienation of such lind by the owner thiitof, if a man led man, sImII nut be valid without the inatuie of the wifu to the same. Sec- 3 Whenever a levy shall be made upon the lands or teneimnt of a householder whine homestead has not bicn selected and et apart by metes und bound, uch housi holder may notify the otlicer, at the times of making such levy, of what he regards as his homestead, with a desciiptioti thereof, within the limit above pieciibed, and the icmainder abovt shall be ubject to sale under such levy. Sec. 4. If the plaintitl in rxtcution shall be dissatisfied with (he quantity of land selected ai d stt a;.it as afoiisuid, the officer making the levy shall cause the same to be tutvettd, biiniiing at a point to be designated by the owner, and set t.-ff in a compact fmin, wcludirg the dwelling houe and its appuitenances, Ihe amount specified in (he liisl section of thi ac(, and the expense of said suivey shall be chargeable on the execution and collected theieupon. Sr.c Ö. After the survey shall have been made, Ihe officer making (he levy may sell the propeity levied upon, and not included in the set- tf, in the same manner as piovhled in oilirr caes for (he oale of ieal estate on execution, and in giving a deed of the same, he may deMrnbe it accoidin to hisoiiginal levy, exceptio theiefiom by metes ami bound avoiding to the certificate of ihe urvey, Ihe quantity set-olT as afotesaid. Sec. b Any eron owning and occupying any houe on land not his own, aud claiming sai l houe us a homestead, shall he entitle J to the exemption afoifaid. S.c. 7. Nothing in this act hall be considered as exempting any teal etele from taxation or fale for taxes. Src 8. All laws or pails of laws, so far as the nine may tuntuvene the piovmuu of this act, be and the tame aie heit by repealed. We go it strong for something like the above, only we would go a little further as to the quantity of land ; ay 1(30, or 0 acres at least. Missfssirn. The electoral vote of this Stute was olmost lost to the democracy at the recent election. The Mis.-i-cippiuit in accounting fortius uuloolud for result says: The State of Mississippi has gone for the democracy, but the majority which we attained in ISM, is much reduced. The reason of this result is euaily explained : never was a party more confident of cucces, and s neglectful of those essential measures to insure victory, as were the democrats of Mississippi, in the recent campaign. The whigs exerted every nerve strained every fibre whilst the democracy, confident of their strength, remained comparatively careless and inactive. In one county, (Kemper,) such was the prevailing apathy, that the pulls at the largest democratic precinct, were not opened nt all ; and at hundreds of precincts in the State, not a single printed democratic ticket was to be found. On the other Mile, the whigs poured out their money like vast water. They had their tickets nnd hand-bills everywhere. They had cart-buds "f documents in every direction, und hired agents to circulate them. Their organization, although secret for the most part, was complete, und they exerted themselves in r. manner worthy f men engaged in a better cause. It is surprising, indeed, that they did not succeed in the Slate." Wiik; Blasphemy". fVi. Taylor compared to Christ ! We have betöre us a copy of the New York Express (a whig paper,) containing the proceedings of a Taylor meeting in that city. The fol'owing is the closing paragraph of one of the speeches: Our pulitical sea is in commotion. The winds from ihe four quarters of the heavens are descending upon it like the spirit of the storm : hut I think I see one who his taken the Constitution as his chart, and the will of the people ns his compass, lcalhing t?i its walers; und I think I bar him snyingt ' It is Ibe nut afraid: ' ' This is not the only instance where the blasphemous feelin; has been exhibited by the worshipper of General Taylor. A writer in Ihn Lancaster Ihw.n (a Whirr pnper) closes a lengthy article with the following climax: In view of the wisdom, the courajc, the fortitude, the decision of character, the self devotion, the patriotism, the regard fir his country and his own honor, here exemplified by General Taylor, if it should bo uked if history records as iiimi an instanck ok mo;:al suelimitv, it might be answered, yc one, and only one that of "the GREAT REDEEMER SUFFERING AN IGNOMINIOUS DEATH TO SAVE HIS ENEMIES."

Daniel Webstek ecfoke tiif. People. A New York free soil paper thus hits off Mr. Webster's success in the recent campaign : It appears that Daniel Webster has done more for free soil than ony other man in Massachusetts. He made a speech in the following towns, beginning with Marshfield : Van Puren. Cni. Taylor. 70 G'A'2 Marshfield, Abi ng ton, Lynn, Fitchburg, Worcester, 171 17 401 130 670 7'd8 405 174 i:iar no Grand total, 3231 1519 1731 No five free soil speeches have done so much good, or effected so complete a revolution. In 1844, Clay had in these towns about as many votes as Polk and Rirney both. Well done, Webster." Salaries of Teachers in Boston. At the last meeting of the Boston school committee, a report was submitted and accepted, that the salaries of the principals of the Latin and English high schools be each $'2,3U0 per year ; the sub-masters of those schools the same a9 last year ; the usfiers SwMJ the first year, $'.X)ri the second, $1,000 the third, 81,100 the fourth, 1,21)0 the fifth and each subsequent year. The salaries of the masters of the grammar schools to be $1,500 per year; the 8iih-materd $1,000 ; the ushers S00 ; the female terchers $300, except those in the Franklin School, which arr to continue at $100, as they arc now. Also, that no allowance be made to substitutes, in cac of sickness of teachers. 07" Judge McIIenry, of New Orleans, recently ordered the Attorney General to take law proceedings against the proprietor of the Rulletin newspaper of that city, for a libel on the Court, contained in that paper. The Judge will come off second best, we suspect. When a Judge orders law proceedings " against a newspaper editor he generally commits a folly of which be heartily repents before he is through with it. Tun Popular Vote. We hear a great deal of poetry from prosaic sources respecting the eager rush of the People to vote foi Old Zack, the overwhelming majorities for Taylor, his unprecedented vote, Zlc. &c. But look at the facts: In this State, under circumstances of great depression and discouragement, after Pennsylvania was known to have voted for Polk, and everybody felt that he was elected, we polled for Mr. Clay 22,432 votes; while fbr Gm. Taylor, with the current running strong in our favor, the Adopted Citizens no longer terrified into hostility, but inclining in good part toward us, we polled but 219,551. Now, making a fuir allowance for the natural increase of votes in a State so thrifty as ours, and tho vote fur Gen. Taylor is at least twenty per cent, befow that cant for Mr. Clay. jV. Y. Tribune, Minesota has elected a representative to Congress, who will claim his seat from the Territory of Wisconsin. The bill establishing the State of Wisconsin did not repeal the old law governing the Territory, consequently the settlements not embraced within the State Lav, nre still tho Territory of Wisconsin, and fully entitled to a representative in Congress.

We give to our readnrs tlie following extract from ' the Report of the Adjutant General for 16 IS, for the !snirit which it breathes. Tho duties of the undersig-nr-d, in connection with the volunteers with the war with Mexico, having closed with the happv return of peace, ,e reviews with justifiable State pride, the honorable and patriotic part performed cy lias young dime, sprininj' into, existence since the close of the war with Great Rritain in 1815. Tue War Department called on Indiana for five regjmrnt3 of volunteers, during the war, and more than eight promptly responded. Many of the most jallant companies in the regular service were Indianians. Her tlagr have waived over the hardest fought fields in that war, and having been gloriously ttiMainod throughout, have all been brought home again by their brave defenders. It is a matter of sincere gratulation, that each of her regiments of volunteers', and each of her companies of regulars, performed its whole duty. Those of her sons who have fallen, cither by buttle or disease, have alike fallen at their posts. And while we tinfeienedly mourn that in a far off land they were called t die, and that the voices of allection that welcomed the return of their tmrviving comrades, is unheinl by the "dull cold ear of death," our orrov is svmewbat alleviated by the reflection, (hat (hey fell as brave eoldiers ever fall, nt the post of duty, nnd that they fell sustaining the honor nnd glory of the feturs nnd Mi ipes." (en. Taylor tit Il:itou lloiic The New Orleans Delta gives the following account of Gen. Taylor, who is at Raton Rouge, quietly waiting for new of his election, of which he appears to entertain no doubt, and with tolerable good reason on his side for the impression, ns the hourly arriving nelurna from the d liferent Stntes show. The distinguished candidate of the Whigs takes matters quite easily nt his pleasant residence in the barracks at Raton Rouge. We saw him walking about town, chatting very familiarly with the citizens and wearing that smne old immense hi.nt-siia ped hat sent him by some friends in '1 ennessfc. Ry the by, we are puzzled to divine what motives could have prompted tin; Tenne..seetins lo bestow Puch a gift upon the old General, who certainly, however people may differ upon his political qualifications, has deserved hotter treatment than to be condemned to wear this misshapen, heavy, uncomfortable mid ungraceful chapeau. Had this hat been sent to (Jen. Taylor af ter the battle of the Hilt and Ulli of May, be would never have had any reason to complain ol the ah Hence of his jpoiit m train, for he might have convert ed this wonderful production of lcnnessec skill into a boat, of sufficient dimensions to transport a whole regiment at once ncross the Rio Grande.

We found . that they were nearly all Democrats ; but, as under a '. very objectionable restriction of our new constitution, j orivntes in our army nre not permitted to vote, their opinions are of hut little importance in the present , state of the contest. Among tho citizens of Raton Rouge the party lines ' are drawn a i closely as in any pait of our country. It is a striking proof of the sturdy political independ- j ence of our people, that they can rise superior to per-; pönal fjelings and intimate Nocial relations, to the ex- ; ercisc of thai duty which should be directed by the j conscience and judgment, rather than by the feelings; and alleclions. A Military Guveknment psowskd Tun Rkf.akF.ns AKKAP. Tfie whigs, since the elections ore over, feeling the awkward position they hold before the country, are devising "ways and means" to escape. Rut let them not set themselves up with any such an idea. They can neither back out u r "shirk" by going round. They have practiced all the double dealing and chicanery placed in their power before the election that is now over they have got to 'face the music." The Louisville Journal, forseeing the trouble, in relation to the new territories, breaks ground for giving back to Mexico all tho land acquired by the late treaty. Such a proposition, of course, took ull sane men by surprise, nnd its small chance of success left the troubled spirits of the Whig party still in doubt. The Cincinnati Aths, however, comes to the relief of its cotemporary of tin; Journal by a t ill bolder proposition, that of a MILITARY GOVERNMENT in Mexico and California until after the Presidential election in lS.VJ. Hear Ihe Atlas: "We repeat, if the will of the majority cannot prevail, (in consequence of tho action of tho Senate or President,) then h t these territories remain under the Government of .Military commanders. They can wait till the nation has made its will effective in future elections. Time is fast deciding that question, und if we can wait till the census of 1950 has been ilevelopcd in the Congressional Representation, there will be no question on that subject. Tfie madness of pol.iicians, and the folly of national divisions, will be alike buried under the demonstrated fact, that Freedom must prevail. "Our doctrine is a straight forward one. Tass the Proviso if you can. If you cannot, let the territories remain Military Provinces, till the national will can, bv national forms, bring them under the ordinance of 17rt7." Here is the first proposition in our country for a military instead of a civil Government, the first step to u change in our estrblished practice of the civil over the military power. The friend Quakers have been thus early transferred from their votes for Taylor to the supporters of a Military despotism. They should never after this complain of paying Military fines for refusing to muster." (f. Stitesnuvi. A Delicate Hint.

Deception, falsehood, and misrepresentation have been more largely dealt in by the Whigs during this campaign, than in any previous one.

In all probability, judging from the return b-foro us, General Taylor gets the electoral vole of fifteeu States, and Gen. Ciss fifteen : During the canvass, Gen. Caes was charged with hostility to the improvement of Lake harbors and of river improvements. He carried the electoral vote of every Stale deeply interested in Lake improvements, and the two States having the greatest interest therein, (Uuio and Michigan) by overwhelming majorities. He secured the vote of the States having the greatest interest in the improvement of western rivers. (It'll. CnsH wa charged with truckling to the south on the subject of slavery. Gen. Taylor carried eight of the slave States, and among them ever) doubtful one Gen. Ciss earned but seven. The vote of every State, covered by the Ordinance of 17"S7, (which gave rise to the so called Wilmot Proviso,) cast its electoral vote lor Gen. Cass.
