It is the intention cf the company we understand to remove the flat bar entirely from the road. We are pleased to see that the enterprising managers of this important public work are deter-j milled to come up to the public expectation, and in ; doing so they will no doubt be ultimately the gainers, though for the present the dividend may be decreased. The School Law, as i: finally passed, requires tho ; question again to be submitted to the people of the ; everal counties of the State at the next August election before it shall take ttVect. In tho? counties where a majority of the voters express their assent thereto, the law is to be in force; but not inthecoun-! ties where a mnj.mty vote against it. In the counties which refuse to accept the law, the euotioti is to bei submitted at each August election thereafter until thry , do accept it. Otherwise, the law stands pretty much ' as when we published it a few weeks ago. We shall Boon lay it again before our rciders as amended. The Lafayette Journal is now published daily. If; it is sustained for any considerable length of time it j will be the first successful daily in this State. Our J own opinion is that the time has not come, in Indiana, j when daily papers can be profitably published. As a general rule, a population of 15,000 is necessary. : The experiment with less will almost always fail within the firs year. !

Slavery in the IHstrirf--Important

Inpuiviifs Tlic V hies l icKiii'ont I We lave believed and said, from the lirtt agitation of the frc; soil question, that nil The Wlrg professions of favor for that measure were utterly insincere, and made on!y f .r political rtf'rcl. We are not, therefore, the least surprised at the state of the vote on the Goti resolution, though the free soilers eeem to be astonished beyond measure. It will be remembered lhat the House recently pissed a resolution introduced by Mr. tiott of New "ork, directing t!ie committee for the District of Columbia to report a bill prohibiting the slave trade in said District. Some days afterwards Mr. Stewart of ?.Iichigan, moved to reconsider the vote by which the resolution was pissed. Mr. Wentworth thou moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table. If the list motion had prevailed, of course Mr. Colt's resolution would have remained undisturbed and in full force. Hut the motion to lay on the table was voted down ayes 80, noes ICO. Among the noes we rind KM RR EE, Dunn, C. R.Smith and Richard V. Thompson ! Caleb P. Smith then proceeded to address the House in a lengthy and studied speech in favor of ihe reconsideration! On the question being put, the vote on the adoption of the resolution was reconsidered ayes 119, noes SI. On this question EM DREE DODGED, not daring to vote either way. Dunn, Smith and Thompson voted in the ajTirmaliie. ! This is rather doubtful free soil voting, is it not 1 Mr. C. R. Smith then offered a milk and water amendment to Gotts resolution which could accomplish nothing, and which va9 not designed to accomplish tiny tiling but il'lty. Now, the free soüers in Congress and in Indiana had counted upon Mr. Smith, especially, ns one of their champions and must honored lenders. Their nstonishr.ient then, at finding him and his Whig col leagues from Indiana, all voting suddenly with the pro-slavery men in Congress is natural enough. The Ohio Standard rthe free soil organ of Ohio) and its Washington correspondent, arc particularly indignant at this sudden "'bout face" of .Mr. Smith and those other Whigs who expect o.iice from Oen. Taylor. Tho Standard thinks the explanation is this yJthey Know the character (.f the incoming administration. The following are extracts from tho Standard correspondent's letter of the 11th : "Had any iltustialiou teen needed of the character of tho M,f bina.iü0 by whirh ,hi, , (the ICconsidciation of tbe Gott loolution) w::s etft-cted. it was amply supplied hv the peeches made upon the motion tolicreriider. Caleb Smith, ÄS . .rerch .rt,icte in evetr line with the mnt con.mnmate eivility said, "they (who ?) Miould vote fu the leconsiiieration to tili lie' agitali m," whieh be aid was only cicahd ty "amtitiou and intriguing men for t uipots tf personal ambition." The action cf parties should not turn upon the agitation any such question. Such were Mr. Smith's sentiment, and such va 'he buithen i f the universal song of the servile crowd. They were not content with s'igmatiztng the agitation as dangeious and fatal, but t hey must denounce with uupaui'g peisonal bittemes, all thoe who manifested a disposition to abide lirmly by tbe resolution. I told you, reader, that the brut I attack i f the leading civile piess upon th movt-rs cf this resolution vn only tbe piivilegrd, er lather ei jf'tird, Viv out" ef those in the interest and cutifidcnre of the suvile leadets hrte. This was veriticd by ttie ; eeche yesterday, evtl y rue .f them. 'I he gie.tt point of .Mr. McLauc'3 speech, and of Mr. Smith's prech wasperonal abu-e of ail who would not unite in their treacherous career. Mr. Smith, particul nlv. wan very evere in Iii deiut ciati mi of Mr. (Ireeley fur finding fault uitb bis seivilitv in sba; ing the suffrage of the Teiiitoiial Hill. Mr. McLane diocttd bi abusive tirade agiinst Mr. Giddirg, and a tn ue violent and biutal personal a'tck I rever listened to. After the H(.u-c had )itered sutliciently long to och develoinient of ti.e temjer aiul violence of tbe political mauageis, tbe vote on the if coiiid'iation was tken, and ieulted ayes I lf, wet SI. This is a direc t change of G votes fiom the aye ide of the account lo the nay side, in the t-huit pace of t enty djys. Of the etlVet e f this diy's tiansactioni, excert upon my own mit d, I cannot speak decisively. The etrect of Mr. Smith's tiiade upon Mr. (Ireeley, could (nly t-e piognotira ted fiom hi looks, of which he was nei'her sparing nor hy. I ceitainly never saw tbe emotions of entreaty, deprecation and scorn, depicted so intensely and painfully as in the varying and distoited lineament of hi expirsive countenance. Mr. Smith, it was obvious to all, was punning a give-mc-ihe-pot-water-gerieral-hip Ii r of iliemire. He wis II iijiistiing the ti'tnbawk lo tain the Gvou of ihe administiati in lo come, f t calpi:' a man who, it was pietty .hiewdly supposed, would be obnoxious to ihe chirf dispenser of othcul numbs. The grounds Pt this suspicion are that be b as not shown himself suitiienrly pliiMe and trcatle in the present erneigei cy. He has (ice ioned a good deal of trouble to those who intend to constitute the power 'behind the ilip-ne." The prol abilitie we-ie "ufTiciently strong that be would continue to I e a timjbteome and an ugly customer. The natuial conclusion wa lint war should be made upon bim a an nltia aitatoi r. impracticahle Gnatir.

In either of thec events an end was giired, and an end cf sufficient corucipicnce to waront a handso'ne icwaid lo him who should et in train the means for attaining it. The word then wa-, and the conclusion, that the imalic Hoiace (oeeley fh old b brought to the ti ibune and crushed. Caleb It. Smith esteemed hi nkc If f ituoatein securing (he chances of executioner. He ba done bis woik.

VVbeie can le ' Will g lo the Kre Detnociacy ? My opinion i, he won t cJ any where tlse. lie will be with ui wiikm thu-e month." We think nfo r thi- wanton betrayal of their professions nnd their pledges by the Whig leaders, the free soilers will be slow to trust them again. It may bo set flown ns a p.if ruin that whig politicians can in no case be trusted where s'f-intcrtsl conflicts w iih principle. Whether or not the Standard nssjgns tho true reason for this unaccountable somerset id these Whig beauties, we have no certain means- of knowing ns yet, though we presume w soon shall have. In the mean time, we think it justly due to that pirt of the people of Indiana who have been deceived and cheated into the support of these men 0:1 account of their supposed adherence to free soil doctrincp, to have nn explanation in the premises. That, however, is a matter between themselves, and wc leave them to Bettle it ns best they may. It is stated llmt the story recently going the round of the papers, and which we publi bed, about a rebellion of th luvet of ihe late Col. Win. Polk of Tennessee, was exaggerated. The old man lived pretty much to himself, nnd when he died, he gave up the keys of the box where was ;a will, to a negro woman who ft cted as his housekeeper, with the particular injunction to give them up only to his nephew Walker, of Tennessne. Upon his death, this woman, carrying out the instructions of her master, refused the keys to another nephew residing near the plantalion. Probably too, the idea was in the negro's mind that herself nnd the rest of the flaven would be net free by tho terms of the will. The difficulty wai a tlight ofl'tir, and has entindy subsided. Suicipf.. On Tuesday tbeDlli itist., about two miles west of Craw fordsville, a you ruf man by the nriuie of Aslier Matheuey, ctunmitted suicide in a fit of mental deraugerneiit.

The new President, who has ere this entered upon bis duties, is her grandson. It is thought that tho name of Josephine brought more strength to the cause of Prince Lotiii in the late election than even his relationship to the prent Kmperor. Canal Hiot. A party of laborers recently working on the canal at Puflalo, N. V., have struck tor higher wogea, and have attacked aud driven off all who were disposed to work at the former rates.

Newspapers will be sent in the steamers of either country at a charge not exceeding C cents, to be prepaid. Pamphlets, periodicals, Slc. will be charged for each, not exceeding C ounces, 1 penny or C cents; over C and not exceeding Id ounces, Od or 1C cents; over 13 and not exceeding 4 ounces, Sd or 10 cents; for all exceeding -1 ounces, Cd or 4 cents for each additional ounce or fraction. Closed mails may be sent through the United States to the North American provinces, accompanied by an agent, nt 10 cents the ounce; and C' per cvnt., additional f r counting by the ounce instead of the single letter.

Wc have been made tiie victims to ' availability. " We were forced to take it, whether or po. It wns not very pnlutnhle to ns, but the Taylor men paid 'Mwnllo'v it," nnd wc did Hwnllovv it; nnd now they propose to punish us Tor making wry laced at what thev tbemmelvcH refuse to t-wnllow.

We propo-e to our friends to try Iheir own medicine next spring, nnd every man tbat ni'ihes n wry face nt it, will sympathize with ami pardon me for not liking the dor-e.

I wish you could s-'e some of those poor fellows, ns they flit, like the s-had-ows of Virgil or Dante, "from pillar to post and from post to pillar!" Some perfectly rabid and disgusted with all the pretenders at Washington, have started oft to the "Genera! himself," determined to take time by the forel ck, und put no trust in chamberlains. Eut what precious bundles of detraction mid slander, are daily despatch d from this city to the peaceful abode of General Taylor ! This is one of the most curious features of the present state i f nlfiir?. Every clique, every leader, every anxious aspirant, in order to prove his devotion, writes fully to Eaton Rouge, nnd thus General Tuv lor obtains mo!-t delectable insight into all the twistings nnd turnings, the vires nnd meanness, of Washington politics. If these r-trange epistles should perchance ever come to the light of noon-day ! Tray don't mention tbe bare possibility ! .Meanwhile, the patriots at Washington, who daily Fjtend themselves in the cause cf the people, at the rate of from one thousand dollars to three thousand five hundred per annum, are not entirely sleeping.

We wish him a pleasant journey, and Iiis friends in this village as composed a state of their nerves, and as good digestion, as present circumstances may render permissible. One very interesting topic of conversation, epeculation, and no little excitement, is that of the organship under the administration. Already two rival interests b'iiin to .array themselves against one another. The Whigs of the North abide by their ancient co-laborer, (Jules.

Taylor begins to talk of changing its title, in order unquestionably to get rid of even Ihe implied pledges which nre by some tupji is'd to bind tho new I'xecutive to Whig measures. The whof: billiget of "Whig Principles" wns formerly thrown overboard nf Philadelphia ; and now the leading Tnylurites lire fearful that they may be fished up again by the honrslcr portion of the party. The Courier and Cnquier, whose eJitor named the Whig party ; indeed who may be sa-u to have created it out of origiinl chaos, is already in the field with a new name br that, presumed to be new party, which elected Taylor. He dubs it the " Taylor Republican I jartif John M. Clnvton having fuggeted th" smite designation brfrc him. The Courier & Enquirer scoun the idea, that Taylor is to bo n mere Whig President. It ridicules the notion ef Father Pitchie, that the "Democracy," meririuig the Hunkers of the country, are to be rallied against Gen. Taylor's administration. How will the Seward Whigs relish this! The Ne,- Vork Mirror, tho original Taylor paper of New York city, has .a long and elabornto article, urging the neceM-ity of adopting the Fame title. It cherishes the hope that the patriotic men of all the !d parties" meaning the conservative portion, ns will bo seen by what follows "will rally under the broad Republican ßag of (im. Taylor." Then the 31 rror Fi'rnificanlly adds, (j--',lei the wi tt'jj.',-, Taylor said he was not an ultra Whig, nnd tbe ultra men of every class, unite tog ft her if they please.

He requetd them to vacate their f. ats and retire, which was not coinplied with.
