The term of his eventful life closed on Sunday evening, June 8th, at six o'clock. On Sunday morning the report reached Nashville, that he had expired, owing to his having fainted away, in the attempt to remove him from his chair to his bed. He however recovered for a few hours. A short time before his death, he took an nflbctionatc leave of his friends and domestics, retaining to the last, his senses and intellect unclouded. lie expired with the utmost calmness, expressing the highest conGdcnce in a happy irhmortality through a Redeemer. General Houston landed at Nashville, at half past six, on Sunday evening, and set oflf in haste to the Hermitage, but was met by the physician who informed him that the General was no more ! We received this intelligence from Col. J. C. Eldredgc, who accompanied Gen. Houston from Texas, and who is now on his way to Washington City. The simple announcement of this melancholy, though long expected event, will excite the deepest emotions in the hearts of the American people. The memory of Jackson belongs to his country. Her history will contain the record of his valuable services his sterling patriotism, and a nation's gratitude will be his monument. The funeral, we understand, was to have taken place yesterday morning . Lou. Dem.

Would that we had the voice of a silver trumpet, so that we could send its sharp notes of watchfulness and warning to the Democracy of Indiana, and commend to them, in the political contest near at hand, the example of vigilance and readiness fur actbn, evinced in the extract above. .The eyes of the whole country are upon U9, bright with the anticipation of a glorious victory, which shall place ua in the Democratic constellation second only to Virginia, whose republican triumph we have recently recorded. The veteran, Ritchie, of the Washington Union, say s-4 We expect to carry Indiana by a triumphant majority.". JLct ua see to it that the expectation be realized. The indomitable Medary, of the Ohio Statesman. says "Indiana is seeking a political importance that she should not lose let her noble democracy follow up her victories of last year, and Ohio in October next will again wheel into line in a style that will be interesting and permanent" Here is a double motive for activity success and its gfod fruits for ourselves : the honor of becoming exemplars to others. Let us not forfeit our title to these, by our want of energy and spirit. The "skies are bright." As the JefTersonian says "The news from the different parts of this State in regard to the prospects of the Democrats at the next August Election is of the most cheering character We are much mistaken in the signs of the times if the Democrats cV not elect a handsome majority to the next legislature, and eight or nine of tlie ten Members of Congress. The Democrats in the differcnt counties and Districts are bringing out their strongest men and preparing for the contest." Yes ! we shall maintain the position won by the generous valor of all our friends, and shall wipe away the reproach ence uttered, that "Indiana has no politics!"

The change was applied for in behalf of the prisoner, and recommended by the Court, nearly all the jury, and nutnercnsly signed petitions, especially from Union, Franklin and Decatur counties, where the transaction happened, the parties lived, and the trial took place. The prisoner will be taken to the State Prison forthwith. A vlidle life, embittered by confinement at hard labor, is in the opinion of many; worse than tbe loss of lifo itself, and afford an awful warn ing. .. Clear the Track!

every impartial mind, wo passed it by, on account of more important matter. Understanding, however, J tliat some Whig speakers arc not yet tired of using' the Bame contradictory and thread bare statements, we ßhall trespass upon the tiice of our readers with a few remarks on the subject. The leading position assumed is that the Democratic Senator who voted to postpone the election, disregar did their oaths ! The Journal, last January shortly after the vote was taken, look the ame ground, and published the names of those Senators, surrounded with Hark lines; wi;h the recommendation to "pas them round. In reply, in oar paper tf the 11th January last, we showed that in the session of our legislature beginning on the 1st Monday of December, 1S12, after the Democratic House of Representatives had passed a resolution to go into the election of a U. S. Senator, sixteen IVA (if Senators toted against going into the election ! We cited also the very page of the Senate Journal where the vote was to be found. (See Senate Journal for 1812-3, page 310.) And as the "Jaw and order" Journal had enclosed the names of the Democratic Senators with black lines, for voting to put off the last election, we en closed the names of the Whig Senators in black lines for setting the first example in this State, by doing the very same thing themselves ! ! We fancy we hear an honest, unsuspecting Whig exclaiming, Mr. Editor, did those Whig Senators set the first example in this State did you My the first! Exactly so, my friend, and here are the names of those Senators : M. Akrr, Jas. If. BueU, Wm. T. .V. Cornett; Hobt. G. Cotton, Johx D. Defeees (Eless me, is it possi ble ! Certainly hold on.) John Firing, Sylrtnus Etrrts, Eli I'. Farmer) James T. M-ffall, James Morgan, David Mount, John W. Odcll, Samuel W. Parker, Bcnj. F. Reeve, Thomas 11. Stanford, ai:d Williamson Vt'right. Now we are simple enough to think that the hon est vorking Whigs of the rank and file, who, in our State, have aAer all, a considerable spice of democracy in them, will say that it wüs as proper to put black lines reund the names of Whig Senators who set the precedent who gave ihe first example as it was to place them around the names of Democratic Senators for oniy following that example ! And that if the Democratic Senators disregarded their oaths by voting to put off the election, the Whig Senators did also. We do not believe that these Whig Senators, many of whom are members of different Christian churches, felt particularly obliged to the Whir Journal for denouncing such a course as a violation of a solemn oath, knowing that they were involved ia the same category. As we have marked the name of the editor of the Journal as voting to put off the election, in capitals, it is but fair to hear what he says on the subject, since he has become an editor. - In the artitle above referred to, he says It is no argument against the Correctness of the above view of this subject to say, that a postponement was justifiable, because in 1912 certain Whig Senators voted against going into an election of TJ. S. Senator. At that time there existed no s'atute requiring the election to be made at that session, as the act of 1931 had been repealed by the revision, and of course there would have been iio violation of duty had a postponement taken place." Now the editor of tha Journal has certainly forgotlcn (as wo are bound in charity to presume,) that the "statute requiring the election to hi made at that session," had not been repealed by the revision, as lie states, for the very good reason that the revision itself wa3 not passed until near the close of that very session, when these very Whig Senators voted against going into the election; it was not distributed or published, and of course not in force, as every body may recollect, until late in the" year 1313 nionlhs after that role teas taken ! So the statute was in force requiring an election, at the time when the editor and his fifteen associate Whig Senators voted g.ünst going iritj ft. But if, contrary to the fact, no statute had been in existence, would it not have been their duty to introduce a bill far that purpose, if it Were their sworn duty under the constitution, (which we do not say) to elect a Senator that vintcr ! Would they bs r.ierc excusable fjr omitting that means for complying w:th the constitution tlian to' omit passing a resolution to go into the election, or to omit toting or any other means 1 We think not. Wc can sec no substantial difference. We will now pacs on to the only remaining excuse of the editor in behalf of the Whij Senators for setting this first example, which the Whig leaders are blaming the Democratic Senators for following1. He goes on to say : "In point of fact, however, there was no effort made by the Whig Senators of IS 12 to indefinitely postpone the ehtin. The journal of the proceedings of the Senate of that session sustains the assertion, as all wh j examine will find." When wc first read this denial, wc were not a little astonished. On examining it closely, however, wc think we discovered a dotlging of the question. We will have no dispute about mere words. We sliall confine ourselves to the substance. He says there was no effort mat'o., to " indefinitely postpone-." But there are more ways of destroying a bill or a resolution besides an indefinite postponement. It may be done by a vote to lay it on thr table, to refuse to take it up afterwanls, of by bluntly vc'ting directly against it And the sixteen Whig Set ators took this latter course, they voted against the resolution for electing a Senator which had been passed1 hy the Democratic House. See Senate journal as above referred to. If their only objtction had been to the time fixed for the election by the House Resolution, they would have taken the course always taleh in such cases! ihcj would have amended, by striking out the time and inserting a different day. Instead of that they adopted the easier and more direct mode of trying to kill it at once.' The VQte itself shows that euch wai" tKeir intention, but if a solitary doubt of it remained, the speech of the Editor himself to persuade the Whig Senators to give that very vote removes it, at once and forever; For information, we publish' in another column, that same speech, copied from the Whig " Indiana State Journal" of Feb.15, 13 13, the very paper which he now edits. It will be seen that irf the very first sentence of that speech, he says " He hoped that the Senate would not now, nor at any subsrq'ient day of th session, concur in a resolution fifoirg into an election." And although there was then no notion to "postpone" in' so many uords, yet the effect intended was the same, for ip the hst t entente of the speech but one, he says "as for himself he would not hesitate a nument in giving his vote for a jwslyonzmenl of the election. That is sufficient. The whole argument of the epecch rests on . the assumption that a majority of the voters of the State Were then Whigi, (of which, by the bye, there was no proof) an J that if an election was gone into, a Democratic Senator' would be chosen and the wishes of the people would ndt M represented. Well, the Democratic Senators last winter' ha4 the same argument, with this difference tlmt it vas fvundcSon fact witness the majority of 2300 "cae't by" Indiana, last November for a Democratic President. And now what will all unprejudiced and ref!cctin

Jf0 party ever did, nor ever can pumie euch a course and retain the confidence of the people. What wyj Falstaff say next!

If it is found successful, the industrious classes cf all parties will rejoice. If not successful, tlie people wilf be more ready to try a different policy for the next four years. JJut if the Democratic policy ia not tried, it willftill be a debateable question. Give it therefore a fair trial. Experience li the best test of truth. Besides, tlie Whigs charge that the Democratic pclic is the " negative," the "let alone," the "do nothing ".policy. Very well;" then no injurious measure cf a "positive" character will pass ; at all events, none but what can be repealed, if found to be injurious. If the Democratic ' let alone " policy, therefore, should be found by experience to be evil, it will be abandoned the sooner by being suffered to go into operation. We have had excitement and turmoil enough for a while, and the country reeds repoe'e. The Whigs have had their chance for the last four years let us see whether the Democrats can bctlef it.' The country certainly needs improvement of some kind. - We repeat, then, that if an honest toorking Whig wants to get our focal measures through Congress, or if he believes the Democratic National policy bad, arid wishes to'giye the last and only convincing proof of it, tlie proof of experience, let mui give a fair chance, by electing for the present, Democratic members.

The aubject remained before the Cabinet, he continued, until lt3d, when it wu thought to be contrary to true policy and to the dignity oFTeiaa to further importune, and the proposition mi withdrawn. The subject ihrn slumbered until he was' again chosen to the 1'resideiicy, in 1841, when he instructed Mr. Ililey, who was minister at Washington, to bring the subject again belore ou Gorenment.

With that assurance in their hands, however, he said, the Senate could attend to other matters at that time, and deal with Texas at their leisure. lie then stated that there exists but one sentiment in Texas, and that is in fivor of annexation ; that he is perfec'.ly sure that the Texan Executive, s) far as he can do it, will carrr out the measure in good taith ; that when Congress meets they will give their assent to the measure, as the President has already given his; nnd that when the special deputies oj the people meet in t-onven tion, in pursuance of the President's proclamation, that will rati ly the act with every solemnity, and then the country will present an united front, llesnid there was no opposition among the people ; he was sure the President Would noi, nor would he himself interpose one breath in its way. . .

He wou'.d meet bis constituents and tell them When we came here, at the commencement of ihe session, ihe Vbi party were in tlie asceadar.t on joint ballot, this ascendancy too given by tbe voice of the people of Indiana. JSW, this state of things . did not exist. How was it changed f ISeed the people be totd that one of their rpieentatives, for the puuj.ose of seeming a political advantage was, in violation cf the constitution and law, ejected fiom the other end of tbe Capitol: Slf ere the Pieti Imt remarked that it was out of order to iser to the action of the House.) Mr- D. proceeded: very well, sir, it is not out of oider to suppose a case by way of illustration. Suppose tbe Legislature of a sifter State should meet: the Vhi pary bavins; a rmjoii'y of two on jint ballot; the seat of a Whi member, leeally returned as a lepiesentative of the people, ii contested ou the ground cf an illegal vote having been cast for bim, and, wi'bout examining iuttt the truth of the allegation denying the occupant the piivilege of rebutting it, and of showing that two illegal votes weie given for the claimaut, he should be expelled and thus the strength of parties be changed for the purpose of securing the election of an Lnited Mates Senator, who is thcre.wbat citizeu of that Slate, thit would not denounce the outrage, who uf them would be willing to see the best and Jcareft interests of the ptople thus sacrificed without an tnort to prevent it f If there were no other reasons why he should vote against ihe resolution tiiM tu him was sufficient. He would never agree to meet a bo.1y thus illegally conttitulcd, in violation of Ihe people's will and his country's constitution ! Would not the (eople justify this course f The answer may be found in the buists of indignation with which the intellipei.ee of the recent event bas been received by the people throughout this State. Tbe people are yet too yiituous to approve of a course so jacubiuical and levclutionary in its cbaiacter, and the patty which adopted it, will yet meet the eqndemi ation which always awaits the cornmi'sion of deeds of infamy. Shonld they, by such means, secure the ckction of a Senator whose political opinions are in conflict wi'.h those of the majority of the people of Indiana, the defeat of their opponent! will be more honorable than their vktoiy. There weie other reasons why the Senate should not concur in the lesolution. The election of a Senator, who would represent the majjiity of the people of Indiana, in the councils of the nation, was of more than uual importance, rendered so by the strength of the respective parties at the present time in the United Mates Senate. The political complexion of that body may te changed by the result of our election to-morrow. I he evident favorite of our opponents for that statiou is that oib of telf-styled democracy, around which it has so long been Ibe piide cf tbe lesser lights to revolve, and should he be elected, is it not certain that bis peculiar views of national policy would be contrary to the interests and opinions of the people of this State. The views entertained by this gentleman, on questions invoking our welfare as a people, were not knowu previous to tbe last August election. They were not then in issue before the people. Since that lime, in a letter to a citizen of Boone county, (Mr. Zion,) he says, weie it not for the necessity of a revenue Iheie should exist no tariür-and tliat, so soon as rency to ihe people and in favor of issuing Treasury notes by the General Government of a denomination small enough to enter into the smaller dealings of the country." Had these views been before the country at the last August election, does any one suppose they would have been sanctioned by the i eople or this Mate .' Cau t be that tbey would be so regardless of their own interest as to send men here favorable to the election of a man to the Senate, the advocate of measurea calculated to produce their own tuin ? Can it be tiat tbe people of Indiana would sanction by their votes the destructive doctrine, that we should suffer the products of the labor of foreign counnies to come to our States free of duty, whilst ours are rejected by them unless compelled to receive them by the demands of (.cesMty f Can it t that they are in favor of rrsoiting to direct taxation, (which would be the result of the abolition of a taiifT,) for the purpose of defraying tbe expenses of the national government f Can it be that they would wish to place in the United Stales Senate a man advocating the issue of Treasury Notes to form the circulating medium of the conntry, to depieciate, become worthless and turn to ashes in Ihe hands of tbe peoI pie ? Has not the expeiienceof our own State been a suQ- ; ci. nt warning against this most misciable policy f Our peo pie have been already cured too much by a cuirency of this character. They want, and will eventually have, an institution whose issues, founded on a specie basis, will a I trays be at par value throughout the whole Union. Can it be that our people woulJ select, as their lepiesentative, one who! Wut fnr lK tlih.ti4cnri si rr At ct ra nf 11 ilriArs ft I.

If any doubt it let the matter be referred to them. Let this i.ue be p. evented next August, and be bad no fears as to ! the result. Did not a just regard to tbe people, (he enquit ed.) demand of their lepresentatives here, itut such houki be adopted . What objection to it can be raised by those letting themselves up as the exclusive democrat -none ether than their usual disregard to all their professions. If they have any reRard for the will of rn.jo.it, of X pe" pie so loudly professed, why not submit these questions to the decision oi that lnbuna. for which they pretcnJ to have so high a respect They dare not do it ! The ejectment cf a Whig member is a more summary mode of ffectiiig their puiposes and,, regardless of -law aud of riht, it is to be thqs consummatedunless there be a majority here to aveit the calamity to the people so momentous. .,, In a representative government, the will cf a majority of the people should always be cbeyed by their representative. On this floor he could point to sevetal Senators, representing whig distiicts, who in giving their votes to-mono w, would misrepresent their constituents.

We congratulate the indomitable republicans of that district on their determination to insist tliftt Mr. Davis shall continue in their service. lie lias now been sufficiently long in the councils of the nation to understand thoroughly the duties w hich a representative owes to his constituents and to the country. The high respect which is paid to lis opinions and advioe by both parties in the House, evinces that be stands as high hero as at home. No man's words have more weight in determining our legislative policy on the great interests of the nation, than those of John V. Davis. Tho same convention passed the following resolution, which should be impressed upon the hearts and minds of all who really love the doctrines of the democratic party. Hesolted, That we regard all men professing to be democrats, -who permit their names to be used as candidates for otiice in opposition to a regularly nominated ticket, as disorganizes and enemies to tha true interests of the democratic party. Nothing is more necessary for the success of the principles which the present administration were. elected to carry out, than a hearty union in the support of the regularly nominated candidates of the party. We have to deal with a wiley and an organized opponent, who neither sleeps nor tires ; and, after many years experience in struggling ngtinst their efforts, we can tell our friends that the wings seldom or never fail to make the most of very opportunity to weaken the cause of the republican party, by doing their utmost towards stimulating dissensions in oor ranks. They ply tbe disaffected, the disappointed, and the over ambitious, with every species of argument likely to cox out third candidates, who are, in the end, to abandon their principles on abandoning their regular party organization.

John Ross, now in Washington city, the millionaire autocratof theCherokees, a man of unquestioned abilities, but decidedly a despot, is moving heaven and earth for the retention of his dictatorship ; lut undoubtedly some curb will be put upon him some safeguard to the anti-Ross party, through whose negotiations the whole tribe was removed out of Georgia and Alabama across tlie Mississippi, some years ago. It is the treaty for removal, and the majority contracting it, which has kept alive the wrath of John Ross. He was anxious for a better bargain for tlie land of the tribe, by delaying its removal ; but failing in achieving tills desirable result, he should have yielded with a better grace to the terms actually agreed upon. He deserves some credit for his firmness and resistance to tlie efforts of the Unitud States' agents to cheat his people ; but the blood of the two Ridges, and others of the tribe, is not unavenged. His tenacity in matters of bargain may be accounted for from the Scotch cross in his veins, and hi Warlike propensities ftom his Indian admixture. Altogether, he is a genteel looking citizen, rather polished in his manners and conversation,' and would pa68 for a white man at any. table cf Virginia planters or North Carolina tar-burn- ' ers. Ecxawav Negroes. A Battle vilh tU Whiles. We learn from the llagerstown papers that on Monday morning lat about three o'clock, ten runaway negroes were discovered passing through Smithsburg, Washington county, Jid., on their way to Tenn-, sylvania. They met Mr. Adam Shank, Jr., on the road end demanded why he was out so early,, and appeared so insolent that Mr. S. started off and procured several neighbors. Upon overtaking them, they were commanded to halt, but being all armed, immediately attacked the whites, and the latter being unarmed, were at first severely dealt. with. The Ha-i , gcrstown Jews says, Constable rJora was twice ! knocked down Price had his arm nearly severed, and the bone broken by a blow from a tomahawk he also had a pistol snapped in his face, which very fortunately failed to go off McCoy bad his shoulder dislo cated Lyday received a wound in the shoulder from ' a tomahawk. Shank was several times felled to the earth, and the whole party more or less injured. Hie ! whites succeeded in carrying off one prisoner in an t . i i j-.- a in lm08 J10?1" na0n.
