INDIANA STATE SENTINEL.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1845. How stands the Case? For the information of the country we here give a list of the whig Senators and Representatives, repretmting counties which cave their votes for James K. Polk, and Democratic Senators and Representatives frotn counties which voted for Mr. Clay. Whig Senators. Dem. . Tippecanoe, Mr. Orth, 1 1 Montgomery, Mr. Moore, 1 71 Greene and Owen, Mr. Allison, 1 281 Lawrence, Mr. Hamer, 1 66 Monroe and Brown, Mr. Farmer 1 770 Floyd, Mr. Davis, 1 25 Switzerland, Mr. Henry, 1 45 21 i 1 71 50 55 41 25 147 33 419 13U5 Ferry, Spencer and Warrick, Mr. Cotton 1 136 Whig Representatives, Fultoil and Marshall, Mr. Iomeroy, , 1 Tippecanoe, Messrs.

Bartholomews Mr. Ilcrcd m 1 11 8 Total, 19 1911 Democratic Senators. Whig maj. Laporte; Forter and Lake, Mr. Chapman, 1 Hamilton and Boone, Mr. Duzan, 1 Bartholomew and Jennings, Tannehill, Fayette and Union, Mr. Levisto'ri, 1 Tutnam, Mr. Hutton, 1 Noble and Lagrange, Mr. Herriman, 1 6 92 19 170 153 173 6Ö9 119 40 25 IS C5 327 C5J Democratic Representatives'. Vanderburgh, Mr. Walker, 1 Scott, Mr. McClure, Vermillion, Mr. Hostetter, Miami and Wabash, Mr. Fcttit, Crawford, Mr. Brown, i i l l 5 0 11 Total, This is the position of the parties in the Legislature. Of course, if the members, on each side, should vote in accordance with the majorities in the districts they represent, the democracy would have a majority of Six. It is evident, therefore, that the whigshave no tenable ground to stand upon; and in desiring, under such circumstances, to elect a whig Senator, they manifest that contempt of the popular will which has always been a distinguishing trait of the Federal party. Postmaster General. The "Little Western" copies a favorable notice of Samuel Medary, in connection with the office of P. M. General, and appends the following remarks : Personally , to him, as a certain defunct great roan said upon another subject, we have no objections but we would like to know how the Democracy of Ohio can dispense with his services, in his present situation 1 We know editors in abundance can be found, of aii calibres, from a Paixhan to a pistol, and frotii a pistol to a pop-gun ; but it would be difficult to fill Samuel Medary's shoes in Ohio. Beside, we would like to have the claims of Indiana considered in this matter. Wo would like to see Governor Whitcomb at the head of the Post office Department. Where will you find a man better qualified for that post than he ; A more thorough, correct and vigilant public officer cannot be found. . Mr. Polk will decide, and we will abide his choice." We know nothing of Gov. Whitcomb's feelings upon this subject, but we are quite sure that no man could administer the laborious office of the P. M. Gen eral more successfully than himself. His success in the General Land Office is sufficient evidence of his business talents and capacity. We may, by the way, as well observe here; that we have noticed various surmises or imputations in the Whig papers, that recent events here have been directed with a view to the promotion of Gov. Whittomb to some place in the Cabinet of Frc?ideut Folk. We believe these to be all lloorbackisms ; and further, that if the Governor should be offered a place in the Cabinet, the duties of any of which he is ftdly bompetent to discharge with credit to himself and honor to the country, it will corne as a free will offering from the President, and without the eolicltation tf Gov. Wbitcomb. The vigor of a lie is often increased by contradiction, which is the reason we have not noticed the Koorbackisms alluded to before this ; and but for other matters indirectly involved we might have continued silent. Secretary of State. On Thursday last. Joux ILTnoMrsos, who was Lt. jbovcrnor under Kay, and recently President judge of the 2d circuit, was elected Secretary of State, for four year?, on the 9th balloting, by 7G votes. The Journal chuckles a little over the unanimity , which enabled the Whigs thus to elect the caucus nominee. But if our information be correct, that the result was only come-at-able by an arrangement with a certain other aspirant who is to be rewarded with a clerkship in the Secretary's office, it is not, taking that individual's notorious character into view, so very creditable to the Whig party, after all. Sleplcn G. Dodge of Terre Ilante, was the democratic candidate, and received the full vote of our tarty on the six first ballots. We wish they had voted Kr him to the lart: ' ''Since Mr. Geo. II. Dnnn left the Treasurer's office, it is ascertained that there is a deficiency of about $10,000 in Treasury notes. No sooner was the deficiency made known to the Legislature by Mr. Durra himself, than the State Sentinel opened the flood gates of its abuse on him, calling him rascal, scoundrel, villain, &c. &c." The above is front the 'Indianapolis correspondent" of the MadUon Banner. So far as it relates to us, it ,is, as all our readers know, absolutely false. We paid nothing until some days after Dunn had declared his deficiency to tie Legislature, and only spoke when we did to caution the Legislature against forgiving Dunn the debt, as some of the Whigs were anxious - do, without investigation The most we said was that there was something ter'y mysterious about the matter. We say that still; and further, that it is Mr. Dunn's business and duty to' show how the loss occurred, if he can, before he asks to be excused from being held responsible for It. The peo'ple can hardly afford to lose $10,COO every day, for the benefit of the honest Mr. Dunn or any body else. 07-The Marion County Library wilf be open every Saturday, at 'the Court House, from 9 o'clock, A.

Au old Ilttmbugr. ItcvivcI. . The following, from the Lynchburg Yirginian, a

Whig paper, is now going the rounds of the Whig papers, and was copied into the National Intelligencer of Dec. 3: "We have several times, in refenin g to the impropfacilities extended to foreign emigrants by our naturalization laws, alluded to those who are sent hither by foreign Governments, and who do not voluntarily abandon the land of their birth tor the purpose of enjoying here the advantages of free govern ment the tenants of the poor-house and penitentiaries, who are transported to the United States, as.to a penal colony, and who, many of tbein fresh from the cells of a prison, and with marks of the iron in their flesh, are prepared to become the willing instruments of those who are base enough to, use them, and, by perjury, to obtain the privilege of voters. That we do riot speak at random is slimVn by the following extract of a letter from F. List, Esq., American Consul at Leipsic, in reply to a circular issued by the Secretary of the Trea'iury on the subject : " I have made inquiries with rerpect to the transportation of paupers from this country to the Uuitcd States; but Siaie affairs in this country not being no openly conducted as might be desired, I have not been successful until of late, when, by .confidential communications, hare learned things vlach will require energetic measures On the part of the United States to be counteracted. Yot only paupers, but criminals, are transported from the interior oj this country, in order to be embarked for the United blate. "A Sir. Die Tr.i!, formerly an officer in the service of the Duke of Saxe Gotha, häs lately made propositions to the smaller States ol Saxony for TRASsroRTixo tiikib criminals to the port, e, Bremen, and embarkiho them THERE FOR TUE UsiTED STJTfcl AT SETCHTT-FIVE DOLLARS rta head, vhich cjfer has ben accepted by setirat oj them. The first transport of criminals, itho for the greater part haze been condemned o hard labor for life, (among them two hotorioi s robbers, t'leift-r and AI brecht,) will leave Gotha on the lGih of this month; and it is intended, by and br, to empty all the workhouses and iuils of that country in this manner ! There is little doubt that several other States will imitate the nefarious practice ! In order to stop it, I have sent an article to the General Gazette of Augfburg, wherein I have attempted to demonstrate that this behavior was contrary to all the laws of nations, and that it was t hamelul behavior towiird m country which offers the best inducements to German manufactures. "It has of late also become a general practice in the towns and boroughs of Germany to get rid of thpir paupers and vicious members by collecting the means for i tfeciua tin their passage to the United Mates anion the inhabitants J arid by supplying thcru from the public fuuds." Now we are assured that this ' extract from List's letter " is the same as that which went the rounds as long ago as 193S. The German population, at that time, in the eastern cities held meetings for the purpose of investigating the validity of the statements, the result of which Avas that they were proved to be foitnd in error, and the thing died away. To foster unjust prejudices, it is. a a in revived. This can be the only object; for whatever truth there may origi nally have been in the extract, there can be none now, as Mr List, if we arecTfect?y informed, has not been consul at Leipsic for the past three years. The National Intelligencer, at least, ought to have known this fact, and though other papers may be excused on the plea cf ignorance, it is one which would be as disgraceful to the Intelligencer, as to openly acknowledge that it knowingly lent its influence to create onjust prejudices ia the face and eyes of truth. It H very Unreasonable For the Whigs to be finding fault with Mr. Tolk for bcinir elected without the vote of Tennessee. The blame certainly does not rest with him or the Democrats. It is the whigs who did it. The Charleston Mercury thus conclusively puts this point : "If any body is to blame in this matter, it is surely the whigs, who persisted in outvoting him, in the fice of the plain and inoeed undeniable truth, that if he did not ret a majority, he could not receive the vote of the State.' This, however, may be said for the gallant Democrats of Mr. Polk's own State, that they have made a larger proportionate gain than has heen effected in any other State, so that if they did not command entire success, they at least deserved it. JV. Y. Morning Aetr. 07 .Without wishing to detract in the slightest degree from the just credit due to the noble democracy of Tennessee, duty to the democracy of our own State requires us to say that the remark of the JVetr is not correct, without the exception of Indiana. Tennes see gained about 12,00'J over the Democratic vote of 1810, while Indiana, with one electoral voteless than Tennessee, not only overcame the whig majority of 13,698, but gave in addition a democratic majority of more than 200 a gain of more than 16,000 over the vote of 1S-K). No other State did comparatively as well, and if a "banner" depended, Indiana only could claim it From the Jeffersonian. . I iilfr.l Slates Senator. We are inclined to think this election is to be postpostponed till next winter. It is right that it should be. A Senator now elected would, in all probability, misrepresent the people. There is no vacancy, and next winter will be time enoiih to elect. The people will thus have another opportunity to express them selves on the Bubject. Of this no party can complain. lt is true, that, in whig counties, It is the interest of the democrats that the election should take place this winter, but we would not press a question of interest, against one of right. No censure can attach either to electing or not electing this winter; nor could the people blame the democrats in either event. JYcbraska. Mr. Wilkins in bis report recommended the organization of a new Territorial Government to be called Nebraska. Mr. Douglass of Illinois gave notice in the IIoue cf Keprcscntathcs, on the lltli inst. that he should at an early diy ask leave to introduce a bill for carrying out the suggestion of the Secretary. The admission of a hew State cf the Union or the formation of a new Territorial Government, is always a matter of interest to the people at large, and we here append an extract from the report of the Secretary bf War, descriptive of the region which fnay soon form one of the United States of America : 'The immediate valleys of the head streams of the Arkansas, the Platte, and tho Yellow Stone rivers have much rich and valuable land. The Hatte or Nebraska, being the central stream leading into, or from, the Great Stfuth Tass, would properly furnish a name to the territory, which I propose suggesting to be erected into a territorial government in connection with, and preliminary to, the extension in that direc tion cf our military posts. I would confine the Nebraska. Territory to our undented possessions on this side of the Rocky Mountains. Its boundary line would commence at the mouth of the Kanzas, and run up the Missouri river to the mouth of the Running water River, and would pursue that stream to the head of its northern branch, and thence due west to the Wind River chain. From this point, turning southward, the line would continue along the Wind River range, and the main chain of the Rocky Mountains, to the head of the Arkansas, and following that stream to the mouth of the Tawnee Fork, would pass by the heads of the Neosba and Osage rivers, again to the mouth of the Kanzas. "The eastern section of the region" embraced by these boundaries from the Missouri River westward for two hundred and fifty miles, is of great agricultural beanty and facilities, fnickly timbered on the numerous tributaries of the Kanzas, Osage, and Neosha rivers, and in fertility equal to th Krt land lrf Mis souri. I rom the limit of this fertile portion westward for the ppace of 400 miles, the country is entirely covered with rich grasses, which improve in quantity and quality up to tn6 snow cf the mmintaini. The limits of this territory include the extreme head of navigation of the Arkansas all the good lines of communication with California, tlw road from our frontier to the Mexican boundary and Santa Fe, and alao an excellent and more direct pass to Oregon, discovered by recent exploration; about one hundred and fifty miles southward cf ti e Great South Tass." Disunion-. A pvrsca namcdTerkins has introduced a serious of resolutions into the "It g;s!ature of Olüo, which threatens disunion in.the evect of Texas bein" rcannexed to the United States. . .

The Special Messago. Oa the first page will be found Mr. Tyler's Special Message transmitting the recent correspondence on the Mexico-Texian question. The Message may be analyzed into two .divisions, irtzt in substance though not in form. The first urges our various grounds of juat complaint and resentment against Mexico, including the insolence of her recent proceedings ; w hich it insets were in no respect justified by the manner of our ' strong representation " against her meditated invasion of Texas. The second is a defence- in the nature of an argumentative statement of the course of the adminis

tration in the Texas negotiation, against the censures winch it has elicited on the ground of its alleged nar,r0w scciinna.'ilv of motive and character. This ineludes a strong and just protect against Senor Kejon ä allusion to our own domestic dinercnccs on the sub ject; and also against his injurious perversion of the meaning of the allusion made ort our side to the longpursued aim and policy of recovering Texas to the union. . It concludes with a short paragraph of practical application," to the effect that, notwithstanding these many and strong provocations, we magnani mously abstain from war, vet ought to push on to prompt and immediate action on the subject of an ncxation" for which, if Mexico should then choose to declare war against us, the just responsibility will be hers. With the exception of the concluding paragraph, it is a plea, an argument, a defence, directed partly against benor Kejon, and partly against the Amen can criticism of the course and position of the admin istration. This is done with much ingenuity, though not in all resinxts with, perfect ingenuousness. Jn style and Manner, it is unexceptionable. So far as regards that criticism which the recent diplomacy has extorted, even from a large part of the public opinion of our own country not less favorable to the measure of annexation than Mr. Tyler himself, the defensive arguments of the Message are such as to go at least very far to recognize the justice cf the grounds on which that criticism has been made. An if to obviate the objection to a deficiency of large Acrican nationality in the grounds on which the Administration had before .chosen to place the measure, it now dwells wholly on the broader ones taken by Buchanan, Walker, Jackson, Benton, and the mass of the friends of annexation. This is the course which should have been adopted before. It alone could have satisfied and harmonized the general public sentiment of the country ; and would have at the same time avided the deplorable error of not only making a local instition, which those interested in it guard with jealous vigilance from the interference even of the Federal government, a subject of volunteer discussion with foreign powers as to its intrinsic utility and pol.cy. The Message censures with just severity the allu sions in the letter of Senor llejon to our party and local divisions, and expresses the following sentiment, in which every patriotic American will heartily con cur: Mexico lias still to learn, that however freely wo mat indulge in discussion among ourselves, the American people will tolerate no interlt-rence in their domestic affairs by any foreign Government; and in all that concerns the constitutional guarantees 'and the national honor, the Peopln of the United States have but one mind and one heart. The letter of Senor Rejon was probably written in anticipation of the election ot JNIr. Clav: and was in reply to the one of Mr. Shannon, in which the latter functionary unfortunately set the example of indul ing in the following speculation as to the result of our party discussions : " Hut one object can be assigned, and that is, to defeat the annexation of Texas to the United States. She knows full well that the measure is still pendinf , and that the rejection of the treaty has but postponed it. She knows that when Congress adjourned it .was pending in both Houses, ready to be taken ur and acted upon at its next meeting, and that it is at present actively canvassed In the people throughout the Union. She is not ignorant Vint Ike ar.cision vui, in au prooauuuy oe in us jacor, unless it should be defeated by some movement exterior to the United Slates." In the pacific character of the concluding portion of the Message, we recognize with satisfaction the presence of another hand upon the helm of the public vessel than that ol Mr ivier. mere nave occn va rious intimations from V ashmgton now shown to have been probably true that while Mr. Tyler was bent on a high war message, Mr Calhoun was more wisely determined to 44 keep the peace." JV. Y. Xeics. Later from Mexico. The Progress of the REveLtTiox there. By the way of Havana, we have later dates from Vera Cruz, than by the way of New Orleans, through a steamer arriving at Havana from Vera Cruz. We have previously stated that the Mexican Con gress had ordered the manifestoes of the Revolutionary General, Paredes, to be printed, thus lending their seeming sanction to his movements, and that Santa Anna had taken command of the 10,000 men in the District of Jalapa to proceed against him and his commands. Accordingly, as we already know, Santa Anna issued his proclamation, put himself at the head of 7,000 infantry, 1500 cavalry and 20 field pieces, and on the 2od he leu Mexico and marched towards Quretaro with Gen. Ecyes, to which point the troops followed him. About this time the Mexican Congress passed a resolution censuring the Minister at War for having issued orders to Santa Anna to take command of the Army of the Republic, when the Constitution prohib ited the Supreme Executive from acting m that cana city. The reply of the Secretary not having been deemed satisfactory, they decided that General Santa Anna had been assigned to command the troops of a district and was not placed at the head of the army, It was therefore deemed necessary that the Minister should forthwith suspend the command of Santa Anna Meanwhile Gci!. BaSsadre has been appointed to take his place. Commander Newman of the brig Eainbridge, at Montevideo, jumped overboard recently, and drowned himself. When the Eainbridge first arrived at Mon tcvideo, two or three shots were fired into her by little Euenas Ayres schooner. The commander for bore to resent this, supposing it was done through mistake. His conduct gave rise to comments which preyed upon his mind, and led him to commit suicide, The N. Y. Herald says, we have been favored by a friend with the following extract of a letter, re ceived from this highly esteemed ofiker, giving an account of the insult offered to his vessel : Montevideo, Sept. 8, 18-M. On coming into this port, I had to passthe Rucnos Ayrean Squadron, and when abreast of them, one of their schooners fired two shots, one ahead and the other astern of me. My first impulse was to return his shot and proceed on, but seeing a boat approaching me from the Admiral and knowing that our nation had acknowledged the blockade, I thought it proper to heave to and receive the boat, lhe olhcer, on coming on board, ßtated that he was directed to apologize for the schooner s firing, as they were not aware of the char acter of the vessel, and supposed she was a merchant man. Sly brother officer on the station seemed to think that 1 Ought to have returned the Eliot, and con tinued on my course, and I now very much regret that 1 d.d not do so. This is the history in brief of the painful occurrence which has created so much conversation. .fThc Nashville Union says it is- understood that the President elect will remain at his residence in Columbia until he sets out oh his journey to Washing' ton.

The "Aiitl-Itcnf Troubles. . The troubles in the counties of Albany, Columbia,

&.C., New York, orginating some years since, in the ground rents claimed on the estates of the patroons xcnsellaer, have at length reached a fearful and bloody crisis, several persons having been murdered. We give below the latest intelligence received : Extract of a letter to the N. Y. Morning News, dated IltrsoN, December 23, 1841 It would be impossible for me to rme you any thing' ike a description t f the warlike appearance of our city, i ou have, of course, heard of the great and i successful effort of our Sheriff, in arresting the Rig Thunder," Little Thunder," (the first and second chief of the Calico Indians) and others of the lawa ess Ijanditti who have resolved to tar and feather the ShcrilTs, when executing tho duties of their offices. Threats have been made that the prisoners should be rescued from prison, and yesterday they were congre f atd in and abort the Court House. They were not disguised, but were known to belong to the 44 down with the rent" party. The excitement was bo great the court had to adjourn. The Sheriff ordered the Court IIoum; to be closed, and called for the aid cf the city. In ten minutes ahnest every man capable of bearing arms was on the march to the Court House, where government arms were provided. All were eager for the fight, and the fellows perceiving the determination of the citizens, and that their guns were charged with ball, were glad to disperse. The threats and excitement are 83 general, that none of our citizens decline serving n guard. A few names will give an idea of the feeling: Capt. Paddock, Capt. Jenkins, and Capt. Macy, all over seventy, are doing soldiers' duty ; but to-day the Sheriff has com menced enJistng men for thirty days, intending to protect the jail at all hazards, and at any expense. r or years have these lawless detvs been prowling round Albany and Rensselaer counties, defying the aw, tut in less than sixty davs after their commence ment in our county, their leaders are in custody in less than thirty more the rest will bo in the custody of the Sheriff. Thcv must be taken or shot Movements in Columbia County. The Mayor cf Hudson, Cyrus Curtiss, lsq., issued a proclamation to the citizens yesterday, briefly describing the unlawful and criminal doings in that vicinity which have recently engrossed public attention, and energetically summoned them to their duty in the premises. After mentioning the arrest of the four men now in prison, the Mayor says Information, winch can be more implicitly relied on has been received, that their aiders and abettors in this and others counties have threatened to rescue these prisoners at any and all hazards ; and if necessary to accomplish that purpose, to fire this city ! An express sent by the Sheriff of this county, to the At torney (jcncral of this state, at Albany, was mterceptca and lor a time detained in the county ct Kencllacr. A contemplated rescue of these prisoners was discovered on Sunday last, and prevented only by a prumpt and general rally of the friends of law and order under arms at the Court House. The design of effecting a rescue, we are informed, is not yet abandoned. The proclamation then makes a strong appeal to the well disposed, sets forth the arrangements aud prepa rations mat nave been made, and adds By the hand of the Governor's private secretary, I have received official information from the commander in chief, through the adjutant general of the State, that a large body of troops, consisting of mounted artillery, cavalry and infantry, will hold themselves in actual readiness for service, and will be ordered to this place if required. It is desirable for the citizens of Hudson to organ ise an armed force of 500 minute men. Such an organization has already been commenced, under charge cf a proper committee. Our olde-t and most respectable citizens have already joined it, and when com pleted, this corp, together with the Hudson Light Guard, will be under the command of Col. Charles Darling; aud in case of alarm, will rendezvous at at Davis's City Hall. Arrangements have been made by which the approach of a hostile force will be known and reiortcd long be fore its arrival, and notice given to the citizens by ringing the bell of the Presbyterian Church. An effi cient city patrol is also constantly kept up. And now, citizens, let us do our duty ; prompt action now may, and no doubt will, eventually save much treasure and many lives.

The Sheriff cf this county ar rested yesterday, in Grafton, two' men, supposed to be a part of the gang of ruffians that murdered Elijah Smith, in that town, on Thursday last.

Wc copy the following card from the Caroll Express, and thus aid in giving notoriety to an unmitigated scoundrel. 'Goshen Dem. TO THE P1711L.IC 44 1 feel it my duty to myself and society to publish the dectroyer of my happiness and home, this vile and infamous seducer to the world. About the 20th of September one George M. Maxwell clandestinely elo ped with my wife, Elisabeth Klepser, from Montgomery county Ohio. She had gone there on a visit with her relatives, and Maxwell on pretence of business in Cincinnati, followed her immediately to said county, from which they left for the south, fcunce that time no intelligence has reached me concerning them, until the evening of the 3d inst., when he returned home, amid the wreck he had made, and the community whose sense of feeling he had recklessly outraged ; but the indignation aroused by this unparalleled act of marked contempt of public sentiment, was gathered around him, and thinking 44 discretion the better part of valor," he decamped where I know not He has left a wife, and four children in this place. He is a man about thirty-five years of age, florid complexion, hazle eyes, inclining shoulders, light hair, about six feet high, and mnscular. He is a blacksmith by trade, was a Colonel in the Militia, a Justice of the Tcace, a Master Mason in the Masonic Fraternity, and a Class Leader in the Methodist Church. He has taken his Commision as Cohmel and Justice and a certificate of good standing in the lodge with him. He is easy in his address, pleasant in his couversation and affable in manners. The said George M. Maxwell is no doubt one of the vilest scoundrels and hypocrites that ever breathed the pure air of Heaven. No doubt exists that he joined the Methodist church for the hellish purpose of seducing my wife, who was a member of said church, and the mother of three interesting children. Facts have been disclosed that warrant the belief, that a criminal intercourse subsisted between them before her departure, and that 6he left for the real purpose of facilitating the accomplishment of their unlawful designs. He has left - an interesting and highly respectable family, in connection with myself and children, to lament the misery, woe and despair of which he has been the author, lhe seducer of my wife; to whose hapiness my every effort was directed, the destroyer of my peace and tranquility in life, and violator of the most sacred principles of humanity, and social endearment, he will roam the earth, dogged by the lashings of a guilty conscience, until he shall sink beneath the accumulated miseries which he has brought upon himself by yielding to the promptings of guilty desire.

The Keeping of the Public Money. The late report of the Secretary of the Treasury alludes but briefly to the manner in which the public money remaining in the Treasury has been disposed of for safe keeping. This is of the highest importance of any subject contained in the report, vet it has apparently received the least attention When the con

dition of the late National Pank was such as to make it an unsafe depository for th! government lunds, and , they were removed, through the far-seeing vigilance of Gen. Jackson, a storm of indijrnation arose at what Was palled a union of the sword and purse," almuugnucn. jacKson in ii;s proieti Ma;eu, mai miLxecutive would ever court the exercise ot the un doubted power of Congress to direct in rchat place the public money should be kept. Pursuant to that policy Congress established 44 the Sub-Treasury system," the spirit of winch involved a revenue not to exceed the expenditures, and the latter to be made by draft in fa vor of the public creditor, so promptly and regularly on the poinU of receipt that no surplus should 'ever accumulate, either to be loaned for any purpose whatever, or to remain in the Treasury withdrawn from bnsmess operations. So perfectly did this thing operate in 1S10, that of j5i25,(X 0,000 expended by Jlr. Woodbury f ft"JU,000,(iÜU were.made by these drafts, of which $10,UW,(XX) were drawn upon New York, meeting the revenue so accurately that throughout the whole year the close of no week left $ÖO,tKJU on hand subject to draft. Not was one dollar lost to the government. At the extra session of 141, this system was promptly demolished, and no substitute has been provided up to this time. The larfje revenues cf the government have been entirely at the control of the Executive, and he tells us that in making new depositories, or changing the money from one to the other, he has been governed by the following motives: 4ito tccommodate rjjictrs and agents employed in paying out the public money according to the appropriations as veil as those entitled to receive to prevent overgrown acnuniulations in banks, begetting temptations to inordinate discounts and issues of bauk notes and bank credits, producing speculations, overtrading, &ic, to dijff'use the benefits of the public deposits, and thereby obtain greater security for the public money until disbursed according to the appropriations." Now tho increase cf government revenues last January was such a to exceed the expenditures and cause art accumulation in the government tanks in this city, of which there were then three, viz : the Pank of Commerce, Merchants', and Eank of America; and at the close of the session, a law was passed by some means, limiting the number of depositories to four, and the American Exchange Pank was added. As long as the government revenues were no greater than the expenditures tins gave the pet banks no very great advantage. From April to July there were paid into the customs, in this citv, fcölöSS, and from June to September 30, 7,89,904, making $13,:309,iw 1 paid by the merchants cf ew l ork in six mcnths, in four deposit banks, mostly by checks t n the eighteen other banks. The consequence was, that the four banks were always creditors, and by drawing specie from the other institutions, checked their loans, while iheir own ability to make loans was increased. This movement progressed as follows: BrECIE IX XEW YORK BANKS. ,Vp. Dank of America, - - - " Commerce, - - Merchants' - - - - - American Ex.

From holding one-third the specie in No vember, the pet banks augmented their proportion to one-half in August : and in November the removal of the deposites to other quarters made a serious inroad upon the amount they sold. Now the Secretary tells us that one motive lor changing the deposites was to 44 prevent accumulations." If this was the real object, how much better it would have been to allow 11 the banks to have been depositories, upon giving security rro rata to the proportion of the customs paid by them. I here could then have been no accumulation and no change in the employment of money. The control of the pet banks has been periodically manifest in a forced rise cf the rate of interest By demanding specie balances they prevented the other banks from loaning while they raised the rate of interest on all their own loans. The progress of loans was as follows : LOANS NEW YORK BANKS.

In November the curtailment took place, as the Secretary alleges, 44 to prevent undue expansion," (after that expansion had taken place, however, as appears by the table,) and to 44 accommodate disbursing officers," a most singular reason, when we consider that the disbursing officer could have sold a draft on Ncrw York at a premium at any moment; By the charter of the late National Bank, the public money was to be deposited with it, unless the Secretary should otherwise direct, in which case he was to state his reasons to Congress. They were removed, and good reasons given. The Senate, however, declared that removal was an unwarrantable assumption of power. The Secretary now not only changes the place of deposite, but actually transports money from one place to another, causing a panic in the money market and a fall in stocks, for the 44 convenience of individuals " and to 44 dispense favors," and no notice is taken of it. Times have indeed chr.ngcd ! Hence the change took place generally, as follows : LOCATION OP OOTEfMIT FCKDf KB OFFICIAL STATEMENTS . Depositetat Boston. X.

The motive is to 44 diffuse the benefits " of the deposites. The deposites thus nominally at Washington, are probably used in Wall street. Now, lending the money on a stock to be paid January, is undoubtedly as safe ah operation, as it is to lend on any of the Government's own stock. This is, however, a system of temporary shifts and expedients. It is using the public money avowedly as a means of enlarging Government patronage, and is in the long run unsafe, injudicious and incompatible with the dignity of the Government. To collect 20,000,000 cash duties from the merchants cf Now York, and then to go hawking it over the country, and lending it to every rickety bank or respectable broker, under the guise of 44 dispensing favors," evinces, to pay the least, a most heedless disregard to1 the great commercial interests, whose cash capital is directly diminished by the sums thus loaned to stock jobbers. It is also remarkable that the corporate depositories at Washington have no legal existence, but to do business on Government money in defiance of the law of Congress winding them up. Under these dircumstances, all that has saved the Government from heavy losses, ha3 been the quiet and healthy state ot the general traue oi the country, a he more speedily a return is made to the sound system of collecting no more taxes than are requisite for the support of the Government and of collecting, keeping and disbursing the funds only through the agents of the Government, the better it -will be for all interests.

' .The State of Indiana must eventually become one of the richest States in the Union, and will, befor many years roll round, rank next to Ohio in resources and general wealth ; but at present, in proportion to its means, it has the largest debt of any State in the Union. It will require a great lapse of time to enable the people of Indiana to pay the annual interest on their debt, and unless some compromise is effected, the accumulation of interest must rapidly increase the debt, 'and perhaps increase it to an amount the State will never be able tö control.

Mr. Adams ami Tcias. Ex-President Adams is well known to be, and he has taken good care that the American people should not be ignorant that he is, an out-and-out opponent of Annexation, not merely on the alleged pro-slavery aspect of the question, but on the ground that the Cnitcd States never had any shadow of right to any part of Texas beyond the Sabine, and never made claim to

In these assaults, repeated in sundry speeches during the campaign, the "old man eloquent" has laid himself open to one of the most severe and triumphant retorts at the hands of one of the persons assailed, of which perhaps it has ever been his fortune to' be the object, We allude to the address of Mr. C. J. Ingcrsoll to the public, heretofore noticed in these columns. In this address which covers more space than we can devote to a mere ersinal controversy, Mr. I. not only vindicates himself from gross and, even for Mr. Adams, most gratuitous personal attacks, but carries the war gallantly into Africa. Mr. Adams, it is most conclusively shown, by his ov n oflicial letter, as Secretary of State under Mr. Monroe, forgets that in 111, he was literally ultra in Lis notions of the right and title of the United States to every inch of ground ever claimed or imagined to be within the bounds of Texas that at that time, whilst the Florida treaty was under negotiation too, he not only claimed that the U. States" extended not to the Sabine, where he afterwards fixed the boundary, not to the Colorado only, where lie might Lave fixed the limit nor yet to the bravo merely, the uttermost claim cf modern Texas but north of that river, far beyond the Santa Fe settlements, even to its northern source beyond lhe Green Mountains, and quite to Lieut. Fremont's peak, beyond the South pass in Oregon ! That there may be no mistake about this, we quote Mr. Secretary Adams' letter of instructions to Mr; Urahain, despatched to him secretly by President Monroe, to prevent any surreptitious occujaticn of any part of what Mr. Adams then called "the United States," by French, Spanish or other intruders. We. find it in Mr. Iugersoll's address, accompanied with, the remark that six months afterwards Mr. A. pave away all this very country (beyond the Sabine) : ' Albany Argus. Mr. Adams Letter of Inslructums. , , 21 June, 18 18. George Graham i Sir The landing at Ualviaton of a number f adventurers, understood to l chit fly Frenchmen, and partly consisting of thereto whom lands bad been granted on the Tombigbee, the uncertainty and obt acuriij in which their ut jecta are involved, tbe character of the expedition and its military array, accompanied by, the disavow al'of hostile intention against any country, aud by the pretence of a purpose to form a settlement merely agricultural, tbe mystrfy wilh which the whole transaction has been aurroundeJ and the fal colors which it baa assumed, have suggested to tbe President tbe expediency of obtaining by the means of a confidential person upon the spot, such luriher information as may be useful to the or lie interest that he should possess, and of observing such precautions as may be necessary to prevent an encroachojent upon the rights of the United Mates. It is known ibai projects of a wild and extravagant char acter, contemplating the invasion of Mexico, for purposes of co-operation with the revolutionary party there, were entertained by some individuals among the French refuge through the greatest part of the last year. Although tbe government received Irom various sources information of the projects, they bad never acquired a maturity npori which it appeared probable that tbe attempt would be made to carry them into execution. Their ostensible objects constantly varied, but they were all marked by features' bt absurdity and desperation. In the first the name of Joseph Bonaparte was implicated, thougti without positive proof that he bad personally lent himself to it ; and afterwards, although two notea of remonstrance have been leceived at this department from tbe Spanish minister, Onis, yet more than one indication has reached us that the expedition was ultimately concerted with him, and was executed by his consent, if not by his sanction. This concert in which it can scarcely be doubted that the object of each party was to dupe the others, has, however, according to all probability, been the immediate occasion of the occupation by lhee persons of Galveston. The President wishes you to proceed wi:h all convenient speed to that place, unless, as is not irr.probahie, you should, in the progress of the journey, learn that they have abandoned or been driven from it. Should they hav removed to Matagorda, er any olfitr place north of the Jtio liruvo, and within the territory claimed by the Uni ted States, you will repair thither, without, however, ex posing yourself to 14 captured by any Sj amsa military force. When arrived you will, in a suitable manner, make known to the chief or leader of the expedition, vour authoiity from the government of the United States, and express the surprise with which the President has seen possession thus taken, without authority from the United Stales, of a place tvilhin their terri'c-rial limits, and upon which no lawjul tcttlement cun be made vithtut thtir sanction, lou will call upon him explicitly to avow un der what national authority tbey profess to act, and take care that due warning be given to the whole body that the place is within the United Stales, who will svjfer n per manent settlement to It made there under any auihonly other than their ovn. At tbe tkit'i time you will endeavor to ascertain tbe precise and teal object of the expedition ; tbe numbers of the persons already there ; the sources from which they have derived the means of defraying the expenses of their undertaking; and those from which they expect future aid' and support. You will notice especially anything which may tend decisively to ascertain whether any part of their funds are supplied by Joseph Bonaparte, or by Mr. Onis, or by both; and whether they have any intercourse with the Viceioy of Mexico. Your own judgment may suggest other objects of inquiry, upon which information may be desirable, and which jou will report to this depailment as you may find convenient occasion. It is supposed your return may be expected in the course of three or four months. Your reasonable expenses, together with a compensation of five dollars a day, will be allowed, from the day of your departure to that of your return. J. Q. A. TIic late Struggle in Indiana. Since the smoke of the battle has cleared off, we find among the subjects noted by us, and intended tobe commented on in due season, an editorial article in the 44 Whig Rifle," of the 4th of July last, a campaign paper published in Indianapolis, Indiana, which furnishes so apt an illustration of kthe hypocrisy and inconsistency of federalism, that we cannot suffer it to pass. The article alluded to, is headed 44 The Locofoca Governor cf Indiana," in which the editor among other remarks, couched in the same temper and spirit, says : " It is enough for us to say and the atrocity of surfv conduct will at once appear that James Whiicomb, the Governor of Indiana, ia openly on the stump in thiacoun ty, (Marion county) making political harangues. II a lel iere the case to be without a parallel. Let the simple fact be noted and conveyed on the wings of the press." Again : ' Mr. Wbitcomb hanov, by an act of bis own, jrjatuitouslr brought himself )hlo the arena." "He has voluntarily thrown oiTthe manlle of Chief Mag istrate of Indiana, and stands tide by side wilh Georg Chapmartin cock pit skirmish e-degraded." The cool impudence and assurance of this editor in charging the course of Gov. Whitcomb in addressing his own constituents during the late contest, 44 to be without a parallel" will not a little surprise this State fOhio. at 1ea;t such of them as listened to the 44 po litical harangues " of Gov. Corwin for the purpote of influencing our State elections when he was not a candidate himself, and was the acting Governor. It may not be amiss, to recall the mind of the reader to some' of the notorious efforts cf Gov. Corwin, in this respectIt was in 1911, that Mr. Corwin pledged las head to' Captain Tyler, on certain conditions ! We like to bring up these old reminisences, as we are told, ' history tcacheth by example." If no more serious charge can be brought against the excellent Governor of Indiana, than the above, he is fortunately located among enemies of far less inventive genius than those of the same stamp in other States.- We hope they will try again.
