Mr. Stipp said, lie had pledged Imnat If tu Ins constituent I vtiin fur a W'lii United Statea Senator, ami be intended tu du so, if he bud the opportunity. He bad mad the eiprcssion, some time since, that be believed the Democrats would go into an election but, since tltal lime, lie limi Lern lei lit iluutjt. whether such would be

the caite. Th Senate bad postponed the subject of the election until iMonduy m il ; and, in order tu treat that tody respectfully, l.e would move to postpone the further consideration t hern. I unt 1 half pa-1! two o'clock on Alondjy neit. The Senate, he understood, from out-door conversation, had postponed the suhject, with 1 view of gettin up iiisirurtions. If instruction could be got up, he would be in favor of teeing the will ot the majority obeyed. After Monday nest, he could not consent tu see the subject postponed any longer. Mr. Gregory was in lavor of adopting the resolution. He would bo williug tu see the election put off, if the Democrat would take the responsibility. Mr. Wright of Switzerland remarked, that he saw nothing in the mo?, merits in this House, that should be calculated lo frighten gentlemen out of their senses. The House had, but recently, adopted a resolution for going into the election, without a dissenting voice, and sent it to the Venule. Thi-t House, said he, cannot alter the action of the Senate, by all the resolutions we can farce upon them ; and he thought it altogether inconsistent with the public inter-t tu be eternally agitating this question and wasting the people's money in useless discommon. Mr. Tague remarked, that as the hour for dinner had arrived, and the ayes and noes had been called, he might be disposed to act out of temper in giving his vote. For the purpose of reflection, and in order to be in a better Lumor for the vote, he moved an adjournment; which carried ; and The House adjourned. AFTERXOOX SE'SION. Mr. Simonson modified his motion, in relation to the resolution providing for going into the election of U. S. Senator, so as to provide fur an indefinite postponement. A call of the House was moved, and in a short time all the members appeared but Mr. Sullivan of Jefferson, wilb the exception of those excused on account of sickness. Mr Whight moved to suspend the call ; which motion did not prevail. It was now determined, on all hands, that a song should be sung; but before the singing commenced, Mr Handy moved to suspend the cull, remarking, that sufficient time had already been wasted on this occasion. The question was put and decided in the negative, ayes 4i, noes 49 by nearly a party vote. After further delay Mr. Wright of Switzerland enquired, what had broke, that legislative business did not progress. Mr. Rieb (tcmpoarilly in the chair) answered, that a wheel was locked. Mr. Simonson then moved to suspend the call ; which motion prevailed ; when he again modified his motion so as to aayve to lay the resolution on the table; which motion did not pro ail. Arts Messrs.

Mr. Tingley moved the previous question ;wbicb being seconded, Mr. Robinson of Carroll raised a point of order, setting cut with the fiict, that the House had already adopted a resolution, in nearly the identical words, and sent it to the Senate, which had been laid upon the table; and, therefore, it was out of order to adopt or entertain a similar resolution, until a message hail been received from the Senate on the suljcct. He brought forward a decision of the Senate, two years since. on a similar resolution. Mr. Blakcmore contended, that the time set fur the

election, by the resolution of the House had passed by,

and consequently it was in order to adopt another resolu

lion. Mr. Claypool caid, he moved to lay that thing called a point of Older, on the t.ible. The Speaker (.Mr. Rich hating left the chair) decided, that the point of order was one of those delicate questions which it is not the province of the Speaker to decide. The vote cn the adoption of thorcsolution will decide the question as to the propriety of entertaining the resolution. The previous question, having been seconded, was put, to-wit: Shall the main question now be put? and decided in the affirmative ayes 52, noes 43.

Mr. Gregory nioed to lay the resolution on the table; which motion did not prevail, ayes 27, noes 7.

SATUIlAY, ÖECHMIJEI 28, 1S14.

From the JV. V. Xews. Thomas II. IJeiiloii. An impudent Lttle pug-no-e puppy once walked into the spacious den of the King tit' .beasts, and was not content with making itself qtute at l.om-j there, but on the master's return undertook to deny his right there, and to growl and snarl at the lordly majesty and might of the old Lion to the utmost of its little powers of ferccity. I ,The attempts that have been undertaken by some japers which have very recently honored the Democratic party with their kind faor and patronage, to read Col. Benton out of it, reminded us of nothing so Rbtlv as the aliove niree of zoological impertinence.

ITIadison and Indianapolis ISnil Iload, The bill to amend the law granting this road to the present company, which was reported from the Committee on Canals and Internal Improvement?, and passed to a second reading, on Thursday last, provides that the said company shall be authorised and empowered, from time to time, to borrow money on the credit of said company, to aid them in constructing end re

pairing said road, or carrying on the operations of said Company, at a rate of interest authorised by the laws of the State where such loan may be negotiated. The Company may, at any time, open books for the subscription and tranfer of stock, in any city ia the United States.

Union, who have tried him too well ai:d too long to be r fleeted for or against him either by uur praise or their abufie. And highly as they all do appreciate him and his countless and measureless services to the Democratic cause, in seme of its battles, when some of the Sighting men of to-day were not out of their cradles, few yet do render to that extraordinary man the full justice which is his duo. Why, he is as disinterested a man in all his public aims and acts as Silas Wright and what more can be said ! We shall take the satisfaction of saying more about Benton some other day,copying mcanwi.ile the fallowing from the St. Louis jjilisiourian of ths G'Ji instant. From the Mistourian. DisiSTERiSTr.UNESs is Pcblic Lire. Perhaps the strongest example of disinterestedness in public lile that has been exhibited by any man ol the times in w hich we live, is exhibited in the case of Col. Benton. He has been twenty five years in the Senate of the United Slates, and during the w hole course of that time has never accepted ollice from any administration, till.tr for himself or any of his relations. During the administrations of Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van Uuran, it is well known that foreign missions to the first Courts in Lurope, and Cabinet appointments were not only offered to him, but pressed upon him, which ho constantly refused. It is also well known that he constantly refused to let his name be brought forward as a candidate for either the Presidency or Vice Presidency; and all have seen, in his Boonville speech, his public declaration, and the reasons for it, in favor of taking the Democratic candidate for the Presidency from one of the northern States. It ia also known that a Judgeship on the the Bench of the Supreme Court was at bis acceptance, and w hich he declined cs all other places; and it is also further known that other offices highly respectable were equally at his disposal, and always refused. Some of the enemies of Col. Benton have the impudence to assert that lie will not live in Missouri. Ve say, on the contrary, that Col. It. will not live out of Missouri ! that the honors and emoluments of a foreign mission cannot induce him to go to any Court in Europe ! nor the honors and emoluments of a Cabinet minister induce lutn to live in Washington! nor any ollice which General Jackson or Mr. Vau Buren could give him induce him to quit the Senatorial service of Missouri ! And now while willing to serve her again as Senator, he cuts himself off from ever being placed on the list of Presidential candidate in lS4d, by proclaiming the principles which require the President lo be elected that year to be taken from the north. Kiinnnsp Biii li nrmointnicnt as Col. Bccton Im refused

had been offered to those who say he won't live in Missouri. Where would they be, it they had his chance of going abroad ? Literally scattered all over Europe and America! Not one of the herd would now be in Missouri. Try them with embassies and foreign missions, and see how they would fly ! There would not be the mark rfa hoof cf a single one of them to be seen in thr state at this day, if they had had Col. Beulon's chance of going abroad. , Col. Benton has relations as w elt as other public men,

but none ot them have received oilices or contracts at the

ing the term of eight years from tnd after the passage of the act; Provided, that, if the said company ehall fail to complete the said road to Edinburgh within one year, nd thence to Indianapolis within three years from the first day of July next, then the portion of the said net receipts to be paid the State shall be ascertained and paid as if the act Lad not become a law. After the expiration of the said term of eight year?, the company and State to have equal interest according to the length of road completed by each. No alteration to be made in the charter fur f.fieen years from the completion of the road to Indianapolis the State to have the privilege of purchasing the interest of the company for twenty years. All matters of difference between the State and Company to be settled by the Courts the act to take c fleet as soon as accepted by

the company and filed in the ofEce cf the Secretary of

State. The Company have confidence that with these amendments, means can te obtained to complete the read to Indianapolis. Indeed, as will be perceived, they make said'completion to Indianapolis, in three years, a part of the consideration for said amendments. The advantages asked, for the term of eight years, from the State, which are the only amendments cf a pecuniary nature provided for, are insignificant, when contrasted with the general advantages to the State of the completion of the road ; particularly in a revenue point of view, for all will acknowledge, that the aggregate valuation of the property of seme fifteen or twenty

counties will be greatly enhanced by the completion of

tire road. The present Company will have entirely exhausted their resources cn completing the road to Edinburgh, thirty miles from this city. If the benefits of a completion to Indianapolis were confined to this city alone, we should feel a delicacy in pressing the claims of this work on the Legislature ; but some twenty counties along the line of the road and around Indianapolis are directly interested, and the whole State indirectly in the enhancement of the general revenue as befure stated.

0The attack made on Jlr. Shanks of Washington, oa Tuesday last for introducing a resolution to facilitate business, providing that the HouiC will at two o'clock on each day proceed to the orders cf the day, demands a passirg notice at cur hands. At the time

of the introduction of the resolution, the orders of

a son ; but none ol llinin Have been quartered upon tue government, either in the Army or Navy, or in any other public employment. His sou is now receiving his education in this state, upon Gravois creek, in this county, and growing up iu the stale iu w hich ho is to

live.

These are facts w hich silence calumny, and prove that

Col. Benton is one of the most disinterested public men

which the times have produced; and that instead or refusing to live in Missouri, he cannut he induced bit all the

honors and emoluments cj emLiissie and Cubintt rjtpointments nor by the attractions oj European Courts

norbij all the attractions oj H ash tagt on Lily to Ute any

uhere else but in .Missouri.

about one hundred and fifty bills were on the files.

The Senate had adjourned one or two days at an early hour for the want of business. Under these circumstances Mr. Shanks introduced his resolution, which laid over one day, according to the rules of the House.

Doctors will difl'er. ' The courteous, polite, gentlemanly and c-iristi-m Whig Editor of the BrookviUe American, in describing the manner iu which the Governor of Indiana delivered his message to the Legislature at the beginning of the present cession, says : "He aroee to deliver the message, in the most careless, disgusting composure, his mouth dUtorted with an ungainly large quanttiy of tobacco obstructing his utterance disfiguring his face insulting to de

cent men ar.d disgraceful to a civilized people.' At j every breath he was compelled to stop and roll the monstrous, nauseating lump of filth in his mouth the saliva running from the corners of his mouth, like the overboiling of a pot of tobacco stems, when preparing the juice to kill upon calves. Eijrhty-

rtwo times, during the delivery cf the message, was

fie compelled to stopand d.scharge the filth and saliva from his mouth. The scene would have been a disgrace to the back room of a doggery." The word used by the editor, in the above extract, and for which we have e ulstitutcd four stars, we have left out, for fear that some might think it & Loctfoco forgery of our ow n ; Whig editors, you know, never, use navfghty words. Besides, a man who would insert such a description in a family" newspaper, must have more politeness, gentlemanly carriage, aud religious profession, than we can pretend to, to back him in such a licence. By the by, the Mr. C. F. Clarkson, w ho wrote that editorial, cannot of course, be the Mr. C. F. Clarkson, who, while he was formerly the editor of that paper, not only brought a suit of defamation ngainst a person, and had judgment cgainst him, but was also sued himself for defamation and had judgment against him, again, for above l ,000 damages ! We say it cannot be the eame Mr. Clarkson, because this gentleman, as you perceive, never slanders people and is very scrupulous in his language. The benighted locofocos may be thankful that they now have a chance of hearing what "decency" is. Eut we cannot now bestow more of our time on Mr. Clarkson, we must proceed to the Whig editor of the Tcoplc's Tress, published in Crawfordsville. He also undertakes to describe the Governor's personal appearance in the following manner : "The stale cant of the arrant demagogue as usual!

An attempt to embitter tho prejudices of the poor

against the rich: and that too by an tlxecuUve whose

orbit(?) is probably redolent with the odor of rich perfumes ; whase "ambrosial curls" glisten with the Etudied art of the barber, and whose refined olfactories would scent the garlic breath of the "rabble" as

faros any other mouera "democrat living !" This last gentleman can never get it out of his "or

bit" that there are tvo classes of men in this land of

equality, one of which he calls the "rabble," and he

is in a perfect shiver, for fear they have "frrjudices" against the rich. Set your mind at rest friend, they

have no prejudices, they only want to keep from being

robL-cd.

Eut while from Mr. Clarkson's description, one

would suppose the Governor himself is, in his appear

ancc, one of those he calls "rabble," the last gentle

man represents him as a supcrfiue dandy. This, al

though a vide, must be an honest difference of opinion, for of course Whig Editors have all the politeness,

all the learning and all the decency. They have no

hatred, no prejudices not a lit That is all for those

they call the "rabble."

Gentlemen when you get together and agree in your opinion of the Governor, it will be time enough fur

his friends to be called upon to answer the charge.

Thomas W. Dorr. The Providence papers state that Gen. Fessenden,

of Portland, is in that city trying to get Gov. Dorr

released from prison on a writ of error and habeas

corpus.

Gen. Fcssenden, says the Bangor Democrat, has re

turned to Maine, and reports that he applied to Judge Story in the first place to ascertain what 6teps were

requisite to carry Gov. Dorr's case into the U. S. Court

by writ of error, and was informed that, an application

must be made by the "prisoner" to which his signature was necessarr. To obtain this Mr. Fcssendcn

proceeded to Trovidence, and requested admittance to

the prison where Mr. Dorr is confined. His whig op

pressors took Mr. Fessendcn's rcqucst'into censidera

tion, and after mature deliberation, decided not to grant it, afSrming that Gov. Dorr was civilly dead ! He is

not permitted to consult with legal advisers, is forcibly

prevented from making an appeal to the highest tri

bunal of the land, is shut up within the walls of a pri

son, and treated like a felon, not being permitted to

even see his personal friends. There is much injustice and oppression in this "happy land," and much foul wrong and tyranny where the Whigs hold the

reins of power. Ehode island is "whig all over,"

and Thomas W. Dorr is held in w orse than Fiussian

bondage for asserting a fundamental principle of

American Liberty.

of their Senator. Their guilty hearts, in view of their designs to cheat the free eons of Indiana out of

a Democratic Senator, so justly their due. leads them to 6uspect oven those, who, like Ca-sar's wife, are above suspicion, as being engaged in like dishonorable conduct.

Gov. Dorr. We believe the case of Gov.. Don-

the authorities of Algenne Khode lsland tor admit tancc to him to procure his signature. The applica

Dorr is civilly dead, and therefore cannot do an act

TIic Deaf ami Dumb.

On Thursday evening, wc attended the exhibition of

the pupils of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum (no thanks

to Mr. Tingley, by tho way, who endeavored to exclude every body but such greenhorns as himself)

and we were much gratified at the proficiency mani

fested by such as actively participated in it. Taking

into consideration the fact that most of the pupils

have devoted less than a year to their studies, their

attainments do great credit to themselves and to Mr.

Willard, the worthy Principal of the institution. The exhibition may have appeared rather tedious, we are

aware, to those who witnessed the more j lcasing or

amusing exhibition of the Blind, recently given; but

when it is remembered that the Deaf and Dumb have

to overcome tiie obstacles of a deprivation of two of

the f:vc senses, instead of but one, as in the case of the

Elind, the interest to the reflecting is greatly enhanc

ed. The performances consisted of various examples,

euch as spelling words by tho manual alphabet, from

the black-board, on which they were written, and giv

The Report of the Superintendents of the Indiana

State Frison shows that there are now 103 convicts in

confinement. Of these, nineteen are natives of Ken

tucky. The balance are principally from other States,

New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, giving together 49. Kentucky, however, furnishes the largest

number of any State. Eut look! Notwithstanding

the hue and cry of the Whigs about the "rascally for

eignere," while a good Clay Whig State givc3 us 19 of her scoundrels to support, the Kingdoms of France, Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland and Toland furnish but ten! The ''Native Whigs" had better look round a Lttle, or they will find themselves with their brethren.

if it has any in fact, should be the last to suffer it to

be made ; for it is known to every intelligent person

lere, as well as to themselves, that most of its own

original matter of any merit has been prepared by other

ands than those of its ostensible conductors

while, on the other hand, it is very seldom that an

original article has appeared in our paper as editorial

which was not prepared and written entirely by our

selves. We can safely say. that during and including

the whole existence of the State Sentinel, not ten

columns, put it all together, has appeared as origina

editorial matter, in our columns, which was not pre

pared exclusively by ourselves ; and further, that when ever any article prepared by another, has so appeared

it has been done either at our suggestion, or has had

our full approbation before it appeared. Can the Journal say as much as this? Nut in truth. Let it cease then to sneer at us, which it only can do to the greater discredit than it at present enjoys. So far cs the pub

lic is concerned, the authorship of an article is a mat

ter of comparative indilierencc. Ihe mam question

is and ought to be, not who is the writer, but is the ar

tide written in the spirit of reason, justice and truth

This is the spirit which we endeavor to be governed

by, and we cheerfully rely upon the honesty and good

sense of the people to sustain us in so doing.

COXUKESS. -- The Senate, on the 18th, passed a resolution at the in-' stance of Mr. Denton, instructing the Committee on Fur-: eign Relations to inquire whether any proiions are ne-cet-sary, in providing for the annexation of Tesav, to pro- " tect the United States from speculating operations in Texas lands or scrip, and whether any persona employed by the government are connected with such speculaltoos ;' and atso empowering the committee to send for person and papers, to answer in connection wiih this and other matters embraced in the resolution, or any others that may be necessary to promote, in the language of the resolution, "the safe, spet dy. peaceable, and honorable annexation of Tfin to the United Slates." A resolution was also pissed, at the instance of Mr. Kites, callinr up

on the Treasury Department to report as to the management of the public funds. Mr. N. made tome remarks.

showing the necessity of the call, and the importance of Congress legislating upon the subject, to lessen the discretion of the executive over the public funds. As it was, the whole revenues of the country were left to the control of the secretary a state of things brought about

bv the legislation of the lug parly, who, in ISM, and subsequently, uttered such loud complaints against any executive discretion over the public depoeites. They should, he maintained, be subjected to the control of law,

and not left solely to the discretion or the secretary of the Treasury.

In the House, the first business taken tip was the bill to provide for the remission of the duty on railroad iron in

certain cases; when Mr. tosteroi l enuryivania naa tne

Moor from yesterdny, addressed the Ilou?o in opposition to it. Mr. I'ayne of Alabama then addressed the House on the subject of the tariff of 1642, and in favor of a revenue tariff; after which the bill was laid on the labia

Globe.

Emancipating a slave ix defiance of tiie owx-

ee. Robert T. Lucas, the slave of Edward Fitzge

raid, purser on board the U. S. frigate United States,

was taken from the master on writ of habeas corpus,

while the bhix was lyinjr at uoston. itie case was

tried before the supreme court, chief justice Shaw pre

siding. The slave had been received and entered as

a landsman by written consent of secretary Upshur,

deceased. There were two points raised. First, the

claim of the commander of the frigate to the services

of the slave : second, whether his bavin? been brousbt

involuntarily within the limits of Massachusettes

without the master's consent, who was about return

ing to Virginia, the court could interfere to set him

ree: "

"Judge fchaw aeciilea mat although L.ucas was awfully entered and employed as a landsman on

board the fnVate, the right of the commander to his

services as a slave could not extend beyond the tentorial limit"? of slavery, and were at an end whenever the services to be performed took him out of these lim

its. In relation to the second point, that the mas

ter having voluntarily rlacrd his slave in a situa

tion in which he would be liable to be taken within the

limits of a free state, he could not compel him to re

turn arcm to a slave state without his consent. Lu

cas was accordingly discharged from custody, and be

ing of full age, was left to return to Virginia or re main as he might elect. This decision greatly cn

larged all the previous decisions in similar cases, and

may be regarded as limiting the claim of the master

strictly to tne case oi a luguive.

The Law ix Relation to Mobs. Chief Justice

Gibson, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in his

charge .to the Jury in 'Philadelphia, in the case of

Donahoe against the county, declared that the firing upon a mob was perfectly justifiable, when that mob was assailing a man's house. He said, in reference to that particular case, " If the assailants had been shot down, it would have been a case of justifiable

homicide," and added, 44 Any attempt to commit arson

justifies homicide in defence, especially in the night

time. A man has a right to keep whatever arms he pleases in his house, and to introduce men to use them.

And he can take them when he pleases, whether he

apprehends danger or not. This is a freeman's priv

ilege. Any man who cannot arrest another in the

perpetration of a felony, has a right to take his life, as n , rfi t t

a measure oi necessity. . ine mei jusuce. was

particularly severe in bis . animadversions upon mobs, and observed that if it were treason to oppose a mob," as he had heard it said latterly, "he had lived quite long enough, and did not care to prolong his life another day."

From the Hutford Times. The Last Procession. Methought at eventide I paused, Oue cold November day, Wheie diy and grim an 44ah-pole" stood; Like gh st beside the way When on mine ear a wail arose, And slowly o'er mine eye, Wi h solemn tread a lengthened train, Iu fuucia) guise swept by. First with a face whose depth of gloom Ambition's blight had cast, The ".Mill-boy cf the slashes" moved Tbe chiefist mourner past ; And then to soothe his ibing grief, Willi yrr pathetic tear, Wi'.h solemn air, so meek and good. Walked Frchnghuysen near. With "bracding-iion" in each hand, From bis far travels come, Unsolaced in his deep despair, Milked -Itooilack," daik aud gluing And sadly leaning on his arm. His old and tender flame, Id all her weeds of woe arrayed. The "Widow Biinghart" came. Then "General Edwards and his son," That "estimable" pair, Marched 'midt a troop of "juveniles,' And dandies with long hair ; While dolorous upon tbe breeze, All whcezingly and wide, Like his old windy belluws, the Pougbkeepsie blacksmith" sighed. And then that "coach expressly built," And decked with silk and gold, The gi eat "embodiment to bear, Wiih sullen n.olion rullid; And as along the dusky way Its daikening couise it kept. Beside it, wiih bis Clay "Tribune," Poor Greeley walked aud wept. Then thionged a long and d Ureal Lost, A thousand men or mote, And each upon a frowzy lag A curvy motto boie And colporteurs, with "Jutius" tracts, A crushing, weary loaJ, Bei.t down with weariness and woe, lo tad procession tiode. And sorely on his wounded calf, With tear-drops in his cj-e, The gieat god-father of the "whigs," Th immortal Webb limped by. A doleful dirge Joe Iloxie tang

Amidst that soirowin? train, And "glee clubs" and ' Clay minstrel The melancholy train. And thus they passed in long array, At evening's sombre hour, And grief was heavy on each heait, With its o'ermastering power : For broken, "busted," "gone to pot," Exploded, vanished, fled, The ercat whij party was no more "The same old coon" was dead !

07-We are glad that Mr. Garrett, of the House,

put a veto on some lawyer dog-latin aflair in the shape

of a bill, on Thursday. A great deal of opposition was manifested against printing $w0 worth of the Governor's Message in German, a living language; but when it comes to the cant or fash dog-latin of the law, the Whig, as well as too many of the Democratic lawyers, see no necessity for adhering to the English language. Oh no ! that done, and more than half of the pettifogging tribe would starve. Right, Mr. Garrett, let us have the laws in English, or at least some living language.

' Adjutant General' Office, ) - Indianapolis, Dec. 2G, 1;4. f Afcssrs. Editors: I desire to state to ihe Legislature, through the medium of your paper, that since the publ lication of my report, we have been advised by the Ordinance Office, by letter cf the 10th inst., that the quota of irms that will be due this State fur the next yeür, will be "about 430 muskets." Dy reference to the report, it will be seen that the rjuota fur 18-14, was 390 muskets. My object is to state the fact, that for want of a correct return of the strength of the militia of the State, we shall sustain in the single year of 1845 a loss of more than six thousand noLLAr.s.

Law of Libel.- The Massachusetts Courts seem disposed to make a new and more reasonable construction of the law of libel. The editor of the Lowell Vox Populi was recently sued for a libel, and the i - j . i j it i . 1

jury gave a veroict ior uie piamun oi one cent, oam-

ages, and one fourth of a cent for cost. In the case the plaintiff sued defendant, and claimed $2,000 for

damage to his "good name and fame," by the publi

cation of a certain article. Defendant claimed the

right to put in testimony showing the general reputa

lion and character of the plaintiff in the community

contending that if a man's character was notori

ously bad, he would sustain less damage in strictures

thereupon, than if his character was fair and good,

and that, therefore, should the libel be proved, defend

ant should receive a verdict corresponding to testimony of character. This was the ground taken by de

fendant, and it has been fully sustained by the Court.

So that, hereafter, it will be a well established prin

ciple of law in the Courts of Massachusetts, that in

actions for libel, the defendant may put in the gencr al reputation of the plaintiff.

Texas axd Mexico. The Texas Vindicator, scmi-

oflicial organ of the Government, in reference to the

present crisis, remarks :

" There are three alternatives now presented to Texas, one of which she will shortly have to choose and in future to pursue. The first is annexation to

the United States. The second is an adjustment of

our difficulties with Mexico by the effective mediation of a friendly power, based upon a pledge to maintain our national independence and individuality, and upon the formation of commercial treaties extending recip

rocal advantages to the parties. I lie third and last,

is the one presented in the despatch of the 0lh of

June, 1MJ, addressed from the btate Del'rtment through our Minister abroad to foreign frjer' tj0vernments, announcing to them. atifpcaceora satisfactory Armistice w-s not conciuded with Mexico within areaso-able period, " Texas would assume a new attitud" anj that relying upon her own strength ani Vcsourccs, she would cross the Rio Grande, and raising the standard of conquest, offer to the chivalry and the enterprise which might come to join her standard, that portion of the enemy's country lying north of the Sierra Madre Mountains, and extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. Annexation may fail Mediation may fail, as they have both already done. Nothing in that event will be left us but War. Tho only question which can then arise will be " shall it be defensive or offensive in its character 1" This will be the sole issue before the country." . fcy-Rcubcri M. Whitney has been appointed Recorder of the Land Off.ce at Washington, in place of Mr. Williamson, removed. ' .

Missouri. Governor Edwards of Missouri, delivered his Inaugural Address, on the 20th ult. His Excellency sets down 800,000 as the amount paid annually by the people of Missouri to the General Government. Through the effect of the Tariff, the expense of collecting it,at $800,000 more ; the amount

paid forborne fabrics, over imported manufactures, at $S00,G00 more ; the loss sustained in prices by a

glutted market, at $800,000 more. Thus he argues

against the power wielded by the United Siates in employing a protective system of taxation.

The Governor is opposed to the indiscriminate use

of incorporation powers, and recommends the intro

duction of individual responsibility clause in the laws.

lie contends also that the power of regulating the currency is no where prohibited to the States, and

that, consequently, it is constitutionally theirs. He

recommends a limitation in the issue of bank notes, so as to prohibit the emission of any note under ten dollars.

lie recommends the adoption of a plan for preparing and qualifying teachers for the Common Schools, of whom but few regularly qualified are to be found. The disposition and more equal distribution of the Common School Fund, he says, should occupy somewhat the attention of the Legislature, so that the poor as well as the rich may bc benefitted by it, and the Primary Schoc-13 be as well supplied with instructors as the higher ones. .

Irish Whigs. The following paragraph, from the Lowell Courier of Tuesday (12th inst.,) shows clearly, not only that the Whig warmth about forigncrs is all theatrical, but that they love and laud even Catholic Irishmen daily, whenever they prove recreant lo Democratic principles : The Courier says: What can be thought of the demagogue Loco leaders in this city, who brought McGee, the editor of the Pilot, to Lowell, on Satur day night, for the purpose of haranging the Irishmen of Lowell over to the Loco side. Thank fortune, his. efforts and their efforts have been in vain. The Irish Whigs of Lowell are not to be caugLi by fools or demagogues. They acted nobly. At the Whig meeting in tiie Reading Room last evening, three cheers were given for the Whig Irishmen of Lowell. How does this Harney over Whig Irishmen contrast with the bitterness cf a portion of the Whig press , who are abusing Irishmen, and the Alolitionists, for defeating their pet, Henry Clay, and aiding to elect, as they say, James K. Tolk. Native Americanism. The Boston Atlas, in speaking of the Wards that have done well, says : " So, too, has Ward six : thanks to our colored brethren in that Ward, who contended most manfully for the v big cause, and voted almost to a man, the whig ticket," Here we have a specimen of whig cons''"" Native Americanism : Th-' ,i Ar.ks tor the sable Afncan ; curscs for. i0 white European, 03-The New Orleans Tropic, heretofore a whig paper, has raised the "American Republican" flag.
