mysteries of Indianapolis Indianapolis, externally, is the roost moral and most religious town in Indiana, if not in the whole West. The straitlacedness of Connecticut would be put to the blush of shame and confusion by the professed puritanism of this Capital: Nevertheless, the maxim that "extremes always meet," accras to be verified by the incidents of the last week ; as well as the fact, thai the morai Influence of a dozen churches is not sufficient to check the vicious propensities of a population not exceeding fire thousand. The fact is, while the rascalities of respectable rascals are passed over in alienee, the developments of vulgar illany will grow proportionately bold. This has been exemplified by the incidents of the part week. It never rains but it pours," says the proverb. Since the murder of the 4th, we have had a perfect deluge of past and present iniquity brought to light. A series, of bold and audacious robberies has been perpetrated during the last year or two, which we have been long convinced were perpetrated by an organized gang. No efforts, however, of any account, have been made to effect a discovery, until the robbery of Hedderly's Lard Oil and Candle Factory. He advertised a reward of ten dollars fur the thieves, and took other measures for their detection, and the result
is the discovery of a gang of young scamps, some of
them not generally euspected of any evil, but who have probably long been engaged in their thievish vo
cation. Some particulars will be found under the po
lice head.
But bad as these developments are, they hare led to
incidents trill more astonishing. The dark and drea
ry vaults or catacombs, underneath the State House, it seems, have been orie of the receptacles of the
gang and its plunder ! It was here probably, that the plunder robbed from the State House, two
years ago, immediately after the adjournment Was
secreted. But these dark and dismal recesses were
not only receptacles of stolen goods, and literally
den of thieves : in searching for the stolen goods on
Monday last, the astounding disclosure was made,
that a female had been kept for three weeks in one of
those vaults, where, it is supposed by some, she had
been confined, and had buried the fruit of her shame !
Words are inadequate to describe the sensation pro
duced by such a discovery ! The Capitol of the vir
tuous people of Indiana prostituted to such vile uses !
Üie Fountain or the Law corrupted at its very
source ! There now lie the slimy and rotting vi
ands, upon which these creatures subsisted and celebrated their infernal orgies ! The stench was worse than that of a charnel house', and it is wonderful that it had riot long since attracted bolts of lightning "red

The Journal. . The Journal of the 2d ult. asserts that Mr. Web

intimates that he had it written out. It is by such
silly falsehoods as these, so easily detected, that the
Journal would attempt to injure our candidates. Bui
supposing it. true. We can retort, by asking the Journal whether its first nominated candidate can write, read or deliver a speech! If the Journal forces us to it, it shall soon learn which of the candidates are to be taten to tdsk for want of education. We will also take the liberty of adding, without Mr. Webber's knowledge, that we have no doubt that the editor himself can be accommodated with a discussion of principles whenever its suits his convenience, even
by the plain farmer whom he sneers at as writing speeches. We also think it improbable, to say the least, that our candidates will ever, when presenting

by considerations of the public good. Perhaps the J
public will gain by the reduction of postage, even if some offices should be discontinued altogether. The new law will undoubtedly at first reduce the revenues, b'ut we have no doubt, that they will progressively increase, as they have done in England. By the way, very erroneous notions have prevailed id relation to the comparative receipts and expenditures of the F. 0. department, in the different sections of the country, though' it was made plaij in Congress byCol.

Too bad I The Journal thinks Mr. Foley "intelligent enough to make a respectable membtr of Congress, should he be elected." So Mr. Foley is not intelligent enough to nidke a respectable member of Congress, should he not be elected ! This is punishing him severely for insisting on the honor of being beaten, when the Journal folks wanted to kill off another great man. Thank them for it, Foley ; and thank them that in their zeal they did not rriake a typographical error in your name. - . "We submit whether, . it would not be as well to try a new man ! Let the pple put into flrfieffee the long preached doctrine of rotation In office.'" Indiana Journal. ,
This is very good doctrine. But how finely the Whigs lived up to it, when they nominated Gov. Wallace and Mr. Harris for the Legislature ! How
fconsciencious was the editor when h3 hailed their
nomination with unbounded joy ! A very good doc
trine, say we ! Let the people act upon it. Let the
Whigs act upon it It is good advice from their ac
credited organ. Our County ticket is composed of
neir, and we may add, capable and irreproachable men. "Let the people put into practice the. long
preached doctrine of rotation in office."

kindness the Whigs seize upon every old office-hold

""ih'ggery. If he changes an officer, it is outrageous
If he removes one, it is proscription. What wiTI
please the whigs ! Nothing ; unless Mr. Polk should
appoint the whole party to office.

. The Whigs are too severe on Mr. Foley's speech
it is too bad to ridicule it, because the Journal has
declared that he "is intelligent ernngh to make a re

ficent and proper to the occasion, The immense body of uniform Military there enabled them to make a great show in procession. The following is an account of only a part of it from the New York True Sun : During the march minute guns were fired at the
Battery, the bells of the churches were tolled, and the j iNational flag was everywhere displayed at half
reist. , . ., I . - l Many shops and dwellings in the principal streets displayed the., usual badges of mourning, and some were decorated. v ith busts of the deceased Hero. By far the beet view of the procession was enjoyed in Broadway. The way was cleared by a troop of cavalry ; and at the head of the coumn. wer? General Gilbert Hopkins and his. special aids on horseback. Then came the Liht Guard, under the command of Capt. Edward Vincent, and the Independence Guard, commanded by Capt. John T. Cairns.

British Aggrcssioii at Liberia. Sundry statements developing British policy in
relation to Liberia, have been made in Eastern papers. The Albany Atlas concisely süms op the matter as follows:
The . Liberias Coixinies. The N. T. Commercial
Advertiser speaks of the British Government having commenced a most dangerous system of aggression upon the rights of the colonists of Liberia. Those colonists are, it is well known, emancipated slaves,
or the free descendants of Africans, who have emigrated from this country, purchased a soil, established
Government, and sought a national existence in
Africa. The enterprise that has placed them there is not a.c&tional one,- or ifi any form1 a Government one.

Ihe lommerciaj Advertiser intimates that out Gov
ernment was formally interrogated . by . the British ministry, some two years since, as to the relation in
which we st,ood towards these colonies. Ihe late
d ministration, through Mr. Upshur,, disclaimed All
authority over these distant people,' or any national connection with them, or any relation bot that of a
friendly interest; It is claimed by the British Government that thefe ü'ncSn'owledged creations 6T our citt?ens are not entitled to a separate and national existence ; and the attempt of the Liberian Government to enforce its cuetprtl hcm'sö fows upon an English Trader hag beert rebuked and punishfed by th capture of a colonial vessel by a British man-of-war. A controversy with England, if controversy it can. be called, must soon end in the surrender of its national existence by the colony, and in this is involved the abandonment of all rights to establish customs and. revenue laws, to impose conditions on the intercourse of strangersc' tnalnta In treaty? with neighboring tribes and to! enforce them and protect its own independence, by arms. rj, , . ' : , Our Government has no right to interfere in this attitode of affairs ; though any pther nation in the world would stretch forth its arms to protect the emigrants from its soil, at any hazard,, however blackened and illegitimate theoff-shoot of its nationality might be.
No War. The N. Y. Morning News speaks of the arrival of intelligence to that city, in relation to our affairs with Mexico, which affords assurances of a most pacific character.' it is informed that the
British minuter has assured our government the appointment of an' ambassador to Mexico would be fav- j crably regarded by Mexico. It will be recollected that neither government is represented. at the, other, the Mexican minister at Washington having withdrawn all diplomatic intercourse immediately after the passage of the Texan resolutions, and Air. Shannon having returned' home to receive the congratula tioiis of the republic ot the results of his .wonderful diplomacy. The English or, French,. embassies at Mexico and Washington have tl:ercure .been, the only medium of intercourse between the two semi-belligerent nations. The acknowledgment of Texan independence, cuts off all pretext on the part of Mexico for a war or for complaint of injustice against this country ,'cn accourt of annexation. There is not now the smallest chance for a reasonable quarrel. Santa' Anna's banishment, it appears, is not for ten years, but perpetual his officers for ten years. They receive a pension equal to one half the pay they received when under Santa Anna. Bat this pension
is lost if they change their residence to any other !
place than that which the Government points out. They are besides required to satisfy all their creditors before they leave the country. " ' J '.! ' .

nervous energy of the system by constant excitement, in action aud reaction, to throw out, in the shape of
crises, the morbific or obstructing matter which is the i ... cause of disease ; and. the period requisite for this pur

those thus afflicted, this description is sufficient. The remedy, however, is a more difficulty matter. In cases
which do not require operation, (the S?;geons genT erally avoid operating except, in , extreme cases,) Compression affords the only relief. The ordinary Inode of bandaging is not oidy tedious, but to a great degree ineflectoaL' L. Compress Stockings, variously fabricated in, th;s country, are quite defective. Tbree years ago, says the editor of the Albany
Evening Journal,) we obtained through our friend, Doct. Alex. S. Watson, of ISew York, the Wire Compress Stocking, manufactured by Messrs. Scholbred &. Co. This, though much better than anything we bad then found, was not without its defects ; and when in London, two years ago, we called upon the manufacturers in Germyn street, explained the de
fect, and awaited 11 r. Scholbred's effort to obviate the difficulty, id a new Compress which he made for us with great care. But the effort, was not successful though we continued to wear his Stocking, without which we should have been quite unable to perform daily peregrinations of from five to ten miles, in

In Paris, following the direction of an advertisement in Galignani8 Messenger, which directed us to f jNo. 25, Kue des Avcis," we found Monsier Flamet, who manufactures "Eas Elastiques." This is an; Elastic Compress Stocking, knit precisely like other stockings, except that the yarn is of India Rubber. These Stockings, which only reach to the knee, or come up. to the hipl, as required, while they adjust themselves pleasantly to the limb, afford a suiheient e.nd equable pressure. They are drawn on and off almost as easily -as other stockings. They are, indeed, just what was wanted for "Varicose Veins. Cjesarean Operation. It is stated tbat Dr. Shipmali, of Cortlandville, N.

Delivery by turning, forceps and craniotomy, was tried, but without success. A large ovarian tumor was found to be the cause of difficulty. The Cesarean .operation was 6trongly solicited by the

"Tp-day, being the anniversary of Waterloo, and the first. appearance of thq new General, every thing was done in the militarj jline that, coul,d be invented,. At 11 o'clock all the troops of the vicinity were in the field. They exercised about three hours, and at the request of the General, went through an imitation of the battle of Waterloo. It was a grand spec tacle. ...Seteral officers were present who were at Waterloo, whq vvore evergreens in their caps, and also one of the regiments that was in the field that day the colors of fthich were dressed in evergreens. The same regime U of Highlanders was present that, was at New Orleans. But one man among them was in that battle. The latter is.. the regiment that was so cut up and nearly every man shot in the field. But what was. still more singular, there is but one. man in tbe.
