THUltSDAY, MAY 22, 1S15. Indianapolis Rail Iload. We would respectfully call the attention of our readers to the advertisement cf the superintendent of the Rail Road, for the letting, &x. It is on the fourth page of this paper. The plans, profiles, and o'.her matter connected, may be 6eeh in the room, (back) oyer the Dayton Hat &. Shoe Store. In a few days, we expect to be in possession cf imi portant information to lay before our readers in regard n this important work. There can be nd doubt note of its speedy completion to this city, and very little of that cf the canal and o'her branches to intersect it at this phce in a reasonable time. The whole people of Central Indiana should keep themselves advised tf its progress, go del.berately to work, and not suffer themselves to be overtaken by a fever oa the subject. All is now progressing sure. Rny's ISaüi:.! 'Ball Ror.d. We acknowledge the reception of a note from Ex-Governor Ray, requesting the publication of a lon communication appearing in the " Spectator," which he says was intended as an answer to the Marian County Congressional Committee, mads in anticipation of a caJl" upon aspirants, fur replies to certain specific questions. This " answer," written previous to the propounding of said questions, seems to be, as one might naturally expect, entirely irrelevant. This aside, however : the proceedings of the District Convention, as furnished to us by the Secretaries, were printed according to the ofiicial copy. They embraced nolhiug in relation to this Rail Road project cf TIr. Kay. Nevertheless, for the gratifica tion of the writer, we may, if W9 can find oom in our next paper, endeavor to give at Icist Ac gift of the very, and to us, tha excruciatingly hng article. The whole thing in ten word amoupö to tins : Gov. Ray endeavors to improve upon the late propositions in favor of 4 Tail Road to Oregon. Instead of being eatisCed with the comparatively modest scheme of llr. Whituey, as made to the last Congress, Gov. K. proposes a grand concatenation, or a series of roads to touch at every principal city in the Union, the main Hues to cross at Indianipoli3, and to extend to fivorabls points, the one to the Atlantic, and the other to tha Pacific ocean. The G07. has very long titles to these embryo roa dj, proporti med perhaps to their . length ; but as they are rather inconvenient to" people who can't talk fast and have but little time to spare, we have thought best to give them a sort of generic cognomen rather more convenient: to wit, Kay's 9 Radial Rail Roads. We shall not 6top here because we can't to point out the beauties concisely embodied in such a title ; they must be plain to every one of 6cnse and discernment ; every body etae we snap our fingers at. As soon as these roads get out into the wilderness, Mr. R. proposes the location of villages at every ten miles distance, and cities at every hundred miles, along the whole line of each, the lots in which, as they came into market, will not only enrich every body lacky enough to haVe possession of one, but will pay an immense premium en the stock The grand capital, however, on which Mr. R. proposes to commence, is a grant of lands two thousand miles long and one hundred miles in width, eligibly situated, to be bestowed by Congress. Time i3 short space precious. We hope this abstract will be satisfactory to the projector of the scheme. If not, we will try to do better. Appointments by the President. In Philadelphia Henry Horn, Collector, vice Cal vin Blythe ; Henry W elsh, Naval Officer, vice Joel B- Sutherland ; George F. Lehman, vice - Hoy, removed. In New York Robert H. Morris, Postmaster, vice J. L. Graham ; Michael Hoffman, Naval officer, vice J. Towle. Some fus3 was made in Philadelphia, among the Jis-äppointees, but it did not amount to much. Eli Moore has been appointed Marshal of the Southern district of New York, rice Silas M. Still well, removed. All tight': - Stillwell was the first petitioner, and one of the first applicants for the , benefit" of the Bankrupt Act. Glad to see him turned out of office. John D. Dcfiees. We desire to know of our neighbor of the journal. if he has actually resigned bis office. Has he notified the Governor of his intention to do so 1 Or, is he not playing a game on the subject, anything but fair ! We desire to hear directly on this subject. Progression. Since thos? well advised are assured that the Rail Hold will shortly reach this point have already Com menccd improvement, almost every species of property has advanced. We know that in some cases build inj lots are held at nearly one hundred per cent, ad vance. This is bad policy, especially for those who Lave much, and can hold their property. By accept inj a fair rate new for a portion, the balance will be increased in a greater ratio, and aU benefitted. We shall allude to this matter again, in the hope of giving such advice as will prove beneficial to all. It will hardly be necessary to direct attention to the communication of Hon. R. D. Owen, which we copy from the Indiana Journal upon the first page cf this paper. It sets his connection with the Internal Im provement System of 1S33 in its true light, as all will admit who have any knowledge of the subject ; and successfully rebuts not only the charges made against him by the State Journal, but those made by tha Exit J - " - xl TIT 1 T- mi x uiiu v j:ui5iouer in me luaaison .tanner, we should suppose that these adversaries, if they would wear even the semblance of honor, would " acknow ledge the corn," and admit that Mr. Owen " has them oa the hip." Thb WAT3k. Within the last few weeks we have been visited by frosty nights, which have done a great deal of mischief in the neighborhood. TJucb of the corn which was above ground, in blade, has been destroyed, and our farmers have had to replant. In osr gardens injury to a great extent has been done, by those who took net the precaution of guarding against Jack. Cucumbers and other melons have been destroyed, as well as beans and most plants which are cot able to bear frost. It is said that a Ion TiViint, being offered some grapes after dinner, by way cf dessert, replied "No, thane ye, I don't take my wine in pills and the first frost of the present month cut up our grape vines in such style a3 to make it evi dent that the weather and the Washingtonians have combined not to let us have any wine of our own growth, even in the shape of pills, and if we should give our own experience, we should be inclined to wish all of the feline tribe north of the north pole where enow birds wear moccasins to keep their toes warm, as a young on? perjected what was protected, by means of small claws and natural exhilarated spirits. Oh ! . We cut tie following from an exchange : 'A horse attached to the carriage of Mr. Taul of thii city, raa off yesterday afternoon. There fortunately happened to be no one in it tut the dmer a co! Jre l roan who vva? thrywa out," etc. Ti.U is the first instance that wo remember of a driver beinj in LU horse and thrown out of it.

He very free! promises the support of Ireland to the Tory Ministry of England, on certain conditions favorable to his own policy at home. This may be the result of policy merely on the part cf Mr. O'Connell, though we are inclined to think he was glad of such an opportunity to display his loyalty to the British Government, llowever this may be, the Irish Press is very far f:cm sustaining the declara-, tiens of Mr. O'Connell. As indicative of the tone of, the more liberal newspapers, we copy the following, j Iilcn O'ar menus win reaa wim ipurresi aim j-iea-sure: The Dulhii Freeman 3 Journal says, England will not go to war with the United States, and gives for that belief the reasons which follow : "The receding cf England fiom the position she ha taten about Text is deeply significant, and hitory way hereafter use it ti mailt the point at which the fl'd of her fortune begin te ebb.

The "Dublin Nation" thinks the claim of Grca Dritain to Oregon ill-founded, and seems to intimate that an attempt to seize it might result in the.lcss of Canada to the British Crown. Ihe "Nation," which the Washington Union calls the "orjran of the mind and patriotism of young Ireland," says : Tolk oa PrtL .'Whatever may be thought of Tecl's discreiiun, whatever shall be expeiienced of his acts, he has spoken stoutly, i lie President solemnly announced, in his inaugural add. ess, that the title of Ihe Ameiicans to the Ore gon tenitory was 'clear and unquestionable ;' that they were perfecting that title by immi;rra'i n t and that the laws and arms of the republic would follow and protect them. The English miDWer has piomptly answered asseitmn by asser tion, threat by threat, promiNe by deed. The tiht of England, says Sir Robert Peel, i 'clear and unquestionable' he uses the woicg of the frequent, to make bit contradiction more emphatic 'that ii;ht we f l;all ask America to admit ; and, failing to obtain by admi-sion or t fler, we are determined and prepared to defend.' He his stopped the packet to tend his insiiucnon; he has commissioned the Earl of Cathcait to command the British troops in America; he has huiried on two companies oi artillerv to Canada t he is about to send an additional foice there 8000 men, 'tis said ; and the limes Doasis mat the foils on the Columbia will be rea dy to resist any tioops that the Ameiicans can move against them. I "Nor are these the only resource of wliicU Britain vaunts. America, says the organ of the miuis'ers, has neither navy, army, nor ciedit ; England has all. The unguaided coast is threatened with a roving squa.t.on. New York is within reach of Canada Washington may be burned again and, lest the memory of Jckui should shelter New Orleans, skeleton regiments are to be thrown into the southern States, nd ihe nrgroea oigroized under the awfoi banners of liberty and vengeance.. Yet England will yield the Oregon without a war, if Amtrica persist la any case, England will lose it ; for that tide of immigration cannot be tested by the minister nor moderated by the Piesident the great design of the Ameiican mind will be accomplished ihe expulsion of every European power from their continent. We uo not say that England might not colonize and long retain the Oregon ; we are do believeia in a vile and mechanical necessity ; human genius knows no impossibilities ; human will is supreme on earth- If Engl m l were safe in Europe, and had contented Canada by independence, and should sbe establish a guardian army, and a sud len and vast colony in the Oregon, under an enteipiMtig and oiiginal governor, with dictator's power, she miiht (irmly bald and gradually occupy the Pacific side of North America. Eat she ill not content the colony sbe will not content Canada she is unsafe in Europe. "England cannot hold the Oiegon save by the consent of the States. Canada and Ireland are not hostile 10 the American occupation i it would not be just, it is not their inteie-t to be so. The claim of America is pieferable on historical and political grounds. If the Oregon belonged to Fiance, the States got it with Louisiana t if to Spain, they got it with Florida j if to do one, ihcy gt it with independence. . Histoticallyt Ihe claims of bc;h p-iities seem trivial. American Captain Giey entered one t( i;s haibors, and called the district Columbia, from bis ship. English Captain Vancouver aftetwards entered one of Its livers. There was no inherited tit Ic s in either count. y ; and, wisely acting on the secret convxtion of this, the negotiators of 1318 and 1827 allowed equal lights of occupation to the settleis of both States, leaving the fight t f sovcrcurnty undecided. The Ameiicanj, on the P'jl, swarming with annual nations, naturally, all but necessarily, spread in and in. England has a lew stockaded cabins on the coat, but not s colonist, Nature, might, justice and the spirit of the conventions, has given it to America. ''Neither lieland nor Canada, then, have just cause to object to the Ameiican occupation, and their interests are even favorable to it. MIn the States, Canada sees the natural ally er confedeiate of her approaching indendence. They aie near England far; they art fiiendly and like England has misused, does mal reat, and is unlike to Canada, licsidos it is the obvious interest of ihe Ameiican nations to emancipate their continent from European power mid European qoariels. 'The progiesr of the Ameiican republic is that of a State towaids whose independehce Ireland gave Montgomery and 25,000 soldiers jf a State which aided her in tne emancipation s'ruggle, and which has helped and still generously asiäts her for rei eal .f a Slate which Is the LuUaik of libeity. Ay! "notwithstanding the slavery of the i.egro. Ameiica is liberty's bulwaik, and Ireland's dearest ally. Ireland laments and condemns the oegro slavery which England planted in Ameiica. She would exult at its abolition in all the States, as she rejoices at its extinction in sa many; but she knows that its abolition, however possible and light, is difficult anJ daiiercus; she remembers that, wheu she sought England's help for emancipation, England had slaves i that few nations on earth but hold or have held them t and finally, Ireland knows that sbe has no Quixotic mission to hunt out and quarrel for (without beirg able to redress) distant wrODg, when her own suiTering aud thraldom require every exeition and every alliance. "These, then, being the rightful and prudent feelings of Lansaa and inland, England can only occupy Oregon by the consent of America. "The last packet brought u the positive statement, the deliberate pledge of the republic i will the next biing us the news of aciaven ajoloy or a skilful rcticat Mr. Tolk has the name of great clearness and decision, and so his address signifies he has been met by a defiance as bold a contradiction as direct, and movements as hostile as ever were used by one government ti another. Can the sparrows of Downlng-stieet frighten the western eagle "Uf course, the humble loyalty cf the empire would support the Q ieen .a any war, no matter how unjust or inl'iiious t but the reported talk of a minister is not a royal declaration, and this theiefoie is the time foi discussion "We do trust that Sir Roheit Teel will reconsider bis unjust and imprudent declaiation ; or that ome wiser counsellor will save the rnonaich from aseit:ng by arms a claim so ill-fcuadcd at a time so inopportune. nrillsli Movements It i3 stated in one of the Halifax papers, that Sir George Simpson, who came a passenger in the Cal donia to Boston, goes out as Governor of the Oregon lerntory, and would proceed with all due despatch to take possession accordingly. This may or may not be correct, buch a movement would be in violation of treaty stipulations, but Great Britain is always regardless of such obligations when her interests impel her so to be.

On Tuesday a cause carhe bp involving the valid ity of the Relief laws The decision of the Court was confirmatory of previous decisions on the same ques tion, and to the effect, that debts must continue to be j subject to the provisions of the law affecting the contract at the time it was made. On the samd'day the Great Shve Case came on for amiincnt, on demurrer to the declaration. The r points made, for a brief sketch cf whicu we are indebted to our friend J. S. K'eid, Esq., were the fol1st. That elsvery was only a State or local institution : 2. That 'slavery is based on local law?, not 6ustamed or supported by either moral, naiuraj, cr national law ; 3. That if a slave escape from the State in which he is held in slavery, either by accident, consent of his master, or against that consent, he is forever free : 4. That the ordinance of 1 57, orcaaizir?r the North ' Western Tcrritoryj on!y guardnteea the delivering up of fugitives from labor to citizens of 0 . . the original States, and that as .Missouri (trom whence the tlave escaied,) was not one of the orir rrinal States, the citizens of Indiana were not bound ? , , st: ! t- ; j -I,... to deliver un to AUiesouri uer runaway it;. Ihese poinis were very abiy anruetl by Judge fctephens and ilr. Quarles for the dtlendants, and u. 11. Smith, Wick and Harbour for plaintiff. Jude McLean delivered the opinion of the Lourt. He admitted the correctness cf the propositions 1, "2, nd 3, but overruled the demurrer, deciding tnat it Indiana had remained a territory, under the ordinance, she would not have been bound to have delivered up the slaves ; but having adopted a constitution which in part abrogates the law of the ordinance, she is A.s rm sj s bchnd by the constitution ot the u. b. ; ana Missouri beinsr one of the preat elfter family of States, is entitled to ail tne ngrns ana privileges oi uic original States, from all the other States in the Lmon.

Ilalliiitoic "Hopca!" Association. . This Association, as "we learn from the rhiladel pliia Ledger has no longer an existence, it having been formally dissolved at a numerous meeting. The Presi dent cf the Association had received an authentic copy of the speech Daniel O'Connell, recently deliver ed in Dublin before the Irish National Repeal Associa tion, in which he administered much abuse to this country, and offered tho Eritish Government, ' for a consideration," the aid of the Irish people in a war against thi5 country, so that the " American eagle should be brought down from his proud height. This he laid before the executive committee of the Association, and they, after matire deliberation, pre pared a preamble and resolutions, vindicatory of the association, Its friends, ana the Irish adopted citizens, as connected with thö idea of the respect due to American feelings, and a regard for their own character as American citizens. Daniel O'Connell was freely censured, and lie and his speech most emphatically repudiated, and the last of the Series of resolu tions, save one of form, loo"king to the publication cf the proceedings, dissolved the Association, and transferred the fund3 on hand to the Hibernian Society; Characteristic. The Albany Eve. Journal finds much fault with the Journal of Commerce for giving correct election returns, and using decent language in ding so. While tlie both belong to the Whig party, the one has pursued always the course marked out by the reckless leaders of that party, except, perhaps, during a few weeks of political sanity, when it repudiated a U. S. Bank. On the other hand, the Journal of Commerce, the other, ha vory generally calmly reviewed the political matters, and has aimed, at whatever expense, to give correct election returns. In this consists the difference between the two; and from this view of the case, and from the fact that friends of the latter, knowing that they can depend on it where figures are concerned, have lately made substanlid evidence to the editor that his services are appreciated, may arise the bitterness of our friend Weed. Suppose that he tries the honest and fair plan a spell ? He can succeed, if he will but consent to have the bows of his yoke slightly eased. Journal of Commerce. This paper, and the New York Morning News, are generally later arriving in this city, than any of their cotemporaries, say from five to ten days. It is seldom that either arrives in the regular mail ; but generally by what is here called the northern route. From in quiring, we are led to suppose that they get the wrong direction at New York City. It being a matter in which they, as well as their western subscribers, are interested, has induced us to notice it, in the hope that they will be enabled to apply the remedy. Another Cnfon. The N. Y. Plebeian is to be merged intd the jf; Yi Morning News. The Tlebeian has been an active and energetic supporter of the Democratic cause, and we regret to learn that Mr. Slamm has been a loser by the concern. Its readers will however be amply compensated by the change, and we hope that those for whom Mr. S. has toiled will not forget him. The Reveille, A Whig paper, published heretofore at Greenfield, in this State, is to be removed to Cambridge city. It says of the Whig party in Hancock, that it is under no obligations to them, having been better supported by the Democrats, and prefers a high compliment to the latter. That's right brother democrats ; always, after having subscribed to a Democrats paper, lend a hand in trying to convert podr weak 6iuners. A good example is worth thousands of lectures ; and good acts speak louder than words. C-The ''Register" is the tille of a new democratic paper, just started at Lawrcnccburgh, Indiana, by J. 13. Hall, Esq. It is well printed and appears to be edited with ability. It seems to us that it will be rather a difficult matter to sustain two democratic papers at that place profitably, either to the Democratic party or to the publishers. Time, which proves all things, will show. The People's Advocate is the title of a new democratic paper, at Salem, Ia. It is published by T. P. Williams &, Co., and edited with ability by R. IL J.

Dank Yltlalny. The Cleveland Herald estimates the amount of the bills in circulation of the Eank of St. Clair, Michigan, to be about three hundred thousand dollars. The Smith's and Co., wbo were the agents and endorsers of this swindling chop in Ohio, have failed, and will wind up. The Herald says The susnension cf the Messrs. Smiths and the

Bank of St. Clair is one cf the most disastrous fainrps that has ever occurred in the V est. The issues of the Bank constituted a lare portion of the paper circulation in a considerable part of Ohio, and many other sections of the West, and the Joss wnl tall leavily, not only on business men, but on the agri cultural and laboring classes.

Sixty are yet to be elect ed three in vacant democratic districts in New Eng' land States, and the other 57 in Maryland, N. Caroli na, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana. OF these 57, there were in the last Ccn gress, 34 democrats and 23 whigs. This year we rhall lose none in the aggregate, and our majority in the next House will be from 50 to 55. This looks like cold coffee for whigjjery. Seventh ConBitssioital District. We learn that tlie Whig Convention held at Rockville on the 13th, nominated E. W. McGaughcy, Esq. as the whig candidate for Congress from the seventh district. We have heard also, that the lion. Joseph A. Wright has yielded to the solicitations of his friends, and consented to run. It will be a close race ; but if the people of that district are true to their own interests, they will unquestionably prefer th'eir late able and industrious member. fjr-Mr. George V.

The May number of this able political periodical is more than usually interesting, The first article is an able paper on tho Mexican ques tion. The monthly commercial and financial article is, as usual, full of important facts, and can always be referred to with confidence as furnishing usefil infor matiou on those important subjects. The balance o: the 100 closely printed pages are filled with poetry and miscellany, light articles, reviews, and literary notices A fine steel-engraved likeness of Geo.

Newspaper Subscriptions. The limitation of the franking privilege of postmasters after the first of July, has cut off the usual mode of transmitting sub scriptions to papers. The following method is there' fore substituted hy the Postmaster General, for the transmission of money, which is preferable to that now in use. . Money for newspaper subscriptions not exceeding AlO in each case, may be paid to a postmaster for the purpose of being paid to the publisher of a newspaper at any other onice. Ihe P. M. is m such case, to ive to the person payiTi-r the money, a receipt there for, and to advise forthwith the postmaster, who is to pay said amount of such deposit Upon presentation of thi3 receipt, the amount is to be paid over. The Po-tmaster receiving the amount is to debit himse therewith in his account, and the Postmaster paying mat amount is to credit iiimselt tnerewitn in bi account of contingent expenses.

Treatment cf Seamed or Eoako or U. S. Vessels. We have repeatedly called attention to the fact that the flopging' on board United States Testels, and the other oppression which seamen in our service are subjected to, are producing' deterioration in that branch of our national defence, and driving" American seamen into the merchant and the errice of foreign countries. The Washington U. S. Journal, we are pleased to see, has taken up this subject, and ehow the bad consequences in a strong ligrht. Alluding' tt the fact that Capt. Wilkes, of the Exploring Expedition, was recently fined heavily on a verdict in bis late trial for cruelty, the Journal says : "W& are greatly rejoiced that a tribunal has at last been found, where the much wronged sailor, long down-trodden beneath the iron heel of our naval despotism, can find retribution for his inäulls and redress for his wrongs. In all past time it has been a hopeless case to, look fjr redress of grievance at the hands of the Secretary of the Navy ; they have been too completely under the influence and coutrol of the officers, to be disposed to listen to the well-founded complaints of the men. So poor Jack has been treated like a dog. And what is the consequence of all this tyracny and cruelty ! We are told by the officers themselves) that the crews cf our national ßhips are composed of the sweepings of jails and penitentiaries; that only here and there one can Le found cf 'American birth. The cause is plain. Free-born American citizens will not brook the treatment they receive from those who are in command. A respectable gentleman, wbo has just returned from Europe, told us that he saw, lving in the harbbr of Jlal:a, tlie Queen, a Eritish ship-of-war, manned a'most entirely with American sailors the finest crew he ever beheld. The reason assigned was that they were so cruelly abused under their own flag; that they had been compelled to enlist in a foreign service. Several of the crew who were attached to the Congress, c'ccla red their positive determination never again to sail under the American flag, fur the same reason! Is r.ot this a startling state of tilings 1 Is there no remedy for this cryin? evil!" . Yes, the remedy is with Conrrtss and the rcorde. Awaken tlie latter to a Bense of the great wrong done to this clas3 of Tiersons, and their representatives will ?oon lake the matter in hand, and correct the evil. The subject lias been before Congress, but public opinion has not been sujlicicntly expressed upon it to produce the necessary reform. Philadelphia Ledger. Cheat Tcstage. The Governor of the Nether lands has attempted the cheap postage system, by fixing the general postage throughout tie kingdom at a tenth of a florin, or about two pence English, (nearly four cents,) and the petty postage within the towns at half that rate. We have repeatedly noticed, says a late Ticavune. the movements of the U. S. troops towards the Texcs frontier. There are now concentrated at Fort Jeun twenty-three companies at tha least seven of Pra--goons and the rest of Infantry.-''
