(-The overhauling of sandrjr dusty records, which has occupied some tide this week, has delayed the continuation of the "mysteries.' Ve shall soon have the matter ad jus ted flr several very interesting chapters.

0"Two or three members of the Junto are now travelling over the State, some of them ostensibly on official business. They will have lots of ojTy gammon to peddle among the people. Look, out for them ! ! The Columbus Gazette, (a Whig paper,) of Aug. & Las the following article relative to Indianapolis politicians : "Qj-TUe Lncofocos in this State, are getting into a tremendous snarl, about matters and tilings in general. Chapmans of the State Sentinel appear to be in a peck of trouble, because another democratic paper is shortly to be established at Indianapolis, and in the heat of passion, or the return of reason, we don't know which, they have commenced the publi cation rr a series of articles under, the head ot olitical Mysteries of Indianapolis," iri .which they are likely to make some important disclosures. The po litical "Intriguers at Indianapolis ought to be ex posed, and their influence overturned, for so long as any party adheres to their dictation, so long they will never prosper. The whig "Junto" at Indianapolis, be it said to their shame, have done more injury to the whig cause in this State, and more especially in this Congressional District, than all the efforts of the opposition could possibly do. Their zeal in the whig cause poes just as far as their own individual interests. This fact has been .clearly demonstrated time and again, and never more strikingly than in their course this summer, relative to the Congressional Election in this district. It was well understood, by this whig "junto"' at Indianapolis, that none of their clique could succeed, this year, in this Democratic district, if brought out, hence they would rather sacrifice the interests of the party, by supporting a man who was calculated only to weaken the party strength and defeat the county tickets, than to go fcr one out nf the family, with wh.rn there might be a probability of succeeding. Unless a stop be put to the sway of this Indianapolis-candidatemaking-junto, the Whig par ty never need expect to succeed in electing anothfef Governor, or a member to Congress from the district to which they are attached. We are fully persuaded that the wings of this county will never again conselrit to be governed by their exclusive dictation, nor induced to support their junto candidates. If we are compelled to remain in the minority, we will be found there fighting for principle. "Whether the Sentinel men, in their oxpositions, have at heart the good of the party, or whether they are afraid of losing some of the crumbs, we know not, and care less, but this much we do know, they have been efficient spokes in the wheel of Locofoco ism in this State, and are hard to head, aiiy vrayi" Time perhaps will remove the doubts of the Gazette relative to ourselves. As to its remarks about the Wbig Junto, it is partly right and partly wrong. We speak specially as to the policy which the Junto thought it bet to adopt in the late Congressional canvass in this district. The policy, in theory, was adroit enough, though we asTee with the Gazette that there is no policy as good as an honest avowal of prinnple. The policy, and it was that of the new recruits of the Whig Junto, was this : to run no whig candidate for Congress in the strong democratic districts ; but let tiog the congressional question go by default, to en deavor to secure a majority in the Legislature and thereby a WTh:g U. S. Senator. Eut the difficulty ex ists in carrying any such scheme into effect. Even if the masa of a party is pliable enough to be tnould ed to such purposes, it Is essential to keep the arrange ment secret from the antagonistic party. This is im possible, because fortunately political parties are not exactly like military battalions ; they don't always obey the orders of leaders without reasons; and when the reasons are given they will discuss them, and just as like as not disapprove. It so happened in the late contest ; and that's the reason why the Whig Junto's policy was as unsuccessful as its principles would have been, if avowed. We have this much to say in just praise of the Whig leaders here, in relation to the late contest When a certain pretended democrat proposed to run against Wick, if the Vhig leaders and the Journal would support him, they rejected the proposition i though perhaps more on account of his vulnerable character pefsönallyj than for any thing else. Whatever the cause, 1t is creditable to them that they bluff ed him off, though we are sorry for some reasons that they did so. Intriguers or Managers. Intriguers are for the most part selfish and interested in all their motives and actions. But this remark is liable to exceptions. There are certain individuals who are truly patriotic, who are addicted to the habit of prosecuting their designs by a secret and artful management in preference to a frank and open course. But as all kinds of dissimulation are irksome to most minds, the majority are unwilling to practise it, except for the sake of promoting & selfish advantage. There are not many who will forego the pleasures of sincerity from patriotic or benevolent motives. Hence it is true that the majority of dissemblers are peculiarly selfish. The idea of selfishness is almost inseparably connected with that of intrigue and management, and so far as a benevolent or patriotic citizen allows himself to practise it, he exposes himself to the accusation of selfishness". It may be said, with truth, that the majority of politicians are intriguers. WitbcütVcertain degree of rxladüvering, they would be obiigofLo sacrifice many points, which are essential to their advancement. They must äfftet to have been the advisers of successful measures which they really opposed, and the opposers of many unsuccessful measures which they really advocated. The whole political game, on all 6 ides, is not more a game of kill than aga me of deceit; and to meet with success, by a perfectly frank and honest course, requires so much more ability than to meet with success1 by an artful course, that men of ordinary abilities, like the majority of politicians, are most apt prudeatly tö pre fer the latter. When a man of inferior" abilities, is prompted by ambition to enter the arena of politics, he finds it necessary to practice many artful expedients to place himself on a level with men of strong miuds. The same may be said of men of feeble courage, who though possessed of good abilities, dare not risk their access by fair and open dealing. Hence the majori ty of intriguers are either men of feeble minds or of little courage. They dare not risk the loss of popularity by a bold avowal of their own opinions and designs their ambition is greater than tbir enthusiasm. They have all that low cunning which fits them for partisans but none of that lofty daring which fits them for reformers. . Acctdext. On Saturday morning last, a team driv en by, it is understood, a Infi Dyers, when about a mile west of town, became somewhat refractory, owinjr to a led horse, and Mr. B. attempting to manage it, his lines brook, and he was thrown, the wagon passing over his head, through his mouth, completely crnshipcr his lower jaw. On Monday morning, he was still alive, delirious, and but little hopes entertained of bis surviving. Mr. Eyers, if that is bis correct name, was from Putnam county, and had "been here with a load of lima. He was a stout young man, some 22 years of age.

Kc-vival of the Im!l:iti:l Democrat.

C-Thc fUlowinjj is from tLc Lngansport " Dcmo-

eratic rhafo, of Sept. 3: Its toöe is as manly as it city to publ.c sentiment as expressed thiough the loÖ truly Democratic. In regard to the last paragraph cal pmwn, instead cf attempting to "dictate," we we will observe, that if those displeased with our republish all articles cf interest to the Democratic course can procure the tondemnition of it either in a ' party at large. While doing so, it most not be supcounty, Congressional District, or State Convention, j posed that we endorse them all or disapprove any,ex-

or in any meeting or the people, of our Tarty, after a hearing of both sides, we will douse our flag at once and immediately yield our place to any body else desirous of taking iL Till this is done, we feel that we owe it as a duty to the party to defend the position J we occupy against all assailants, and we shall do so, ' as long as there is " a shot in the locker." We have received a circular containing proposals for establishing a new Democratic paper at Indianapolis. This movement we think is wholly uncalled for by the good of the Democratic party. On the contrary; it must inevitably result in evil. It is perfectly evident, from certain sign's in the political horizon, that the paper is to be under the control of a selfish clique. Its editor as his course heretofore proves is capable of doing un y thing to carry out the ends of his friends, regardless of the effect which his course may have upon the harmony of the Democratic party. There is a Democratic paper at Indianapolisone that meets the approbation of almost the whole party in the State. Why, then, under these circumstances, is the attempt made to break it down, and build up another ? The main spring is too much exposed to be mistaken. A few men, who have the money Who are, in their own estimation, very important spokes in the Democratic wheel, and are of the opinion that every editor should labor more especially for their advancement, and not so much for that of the principles of the party are at the bottom of the matter. No exertions will be snared by them to effect their object, namely ; to compel the editors of the Sentinel to withdraw, and . an 4 . . leaVe the field clear tor the hireling press ot a " rule or ruin taction, or divide tt.e party. The good of the Democratic party is the proclaimed object of this movement the success of certain men, though the means which effect it cause its overthrow, is the real one. There are always men who care for the organization of the party to which they are attached only so far as it helps them to rise to posts oF honor and emolument. Such men care not for principle. Self is the beginning and the end of their political principle. Of this character we believe these instru mental in starting the new press to be; We have no personal feeling m the matter, as we are unacquainted with the editors of either paper. The union of the Democracy is our desire. If the Sentinel is controlled by a clique if it is not conducted with an eye single to the prosperity of the whole Democratic party, and is striving to elevate this or that man, regardless of the wishes cf the mass of Democrats we say, put it down. If not, let it be sustained. We have the following amusing paragraphs in the Fort Wayne Times, (Whig,) of Aug. 30. Does the Editor "drink?" "Isdusa Dimocbat. This old paper U tobe revived, or a new one started under the same title, under the control of A. F. Morrison. At this, Chapman, of the Sentinel, ia peifectly furious. He "raves and pilches like a mad bull." It is amusing to witness hii antics. He hikes his fist in the face of the whole party, "swear terribly" that the party ia indebted for its ascendancy to his t So tit, and baa commenced a development of the Political Mysteries of Indianapolis," in which he threatens an exposition of "the accumulating intrigues and villanies," (of the Locofoco party, remember,) "not only of the present era, but of the last sixteen years." He baa a Herculean task before him. Will not the public distrust his motives wbetl they remember that he has remained mum in regard io these ''Intrigues and illaniei," for several years, and would so have rematneJ Until doom's day, only that the "spoils are in danger I He has been part and parcel of these corruptions, and it if too lata for him to cry thief when he ia kicked out. Chapman says that there is no room for two democratic papers at Indianapolis, and that he or Morrison "must go to the wall." If Morrison is made of the "right kind of stunV there will be a terrible contest. There is no doubt of an extensive and growing disaffection in the party towards Chapman. Some of the leaders here openly declare that he has not sufficient "talent" to conduct the central organ of the parly that the leading articles of hii paper ere written by another hand that he writes no thing but "small electioneering squibs," &c. Of all this we know nothing, and only give it as we bear it. He is a great sinner, and whether he has talent or not, he haa energy which ia better, and will die Lard. In our humble opinion it will be easier to buy him than to kill him. The onlj interest the Whigs can feel in the contest is the benefit which is said to inure to honest men "when rogues fall oat." . So far as the huying is concerned, it must be a re commendation to the whigs to do so, of course. That has been tried, Mr. Wood, and by one you toted for ; but his offer was too small, being not over two thou sand dollars per annum. Do you propose that they should make a larger offer 1 And you say, Mr. Wood, that "some of the leaders here openly declare .. that jjjg ea(ing articles of his paper are written by another hand," &.c. ftow, sir, wc dare you to name one of those leaders who make the assertion ; and if you do not, we must necessarily conclude that you are a bar. This seems to us the legitimate result ; but if you, or any one who makes the assertion, is in any way disposed to test that question, they can be accommodated to their hearts' content. There are some other falsehoods in the article, but we do not feel disposed to waste time on them. New Paper at Indianapolis. A. F. Morrison arid Si F. Covington , have issued proposals for publishing at Indianapolis a paper to be entitled the Indiana Democrat, to advocate the claims of Gen. Cass for the next Presidency. We cannot say that we much approve the proposed measure. One good democratic paper is as much a can be Bustaincd at Indianapolis ; and if the establishment of the Indiana Dem ocrat is intended to break down the Indiana State Sentinel, and as a natural consequence create broils and dissentions in our ranks, as is charged by the State Sentinel, it ought to be at once frowned down by every good democrat. We see no good that could result to the party by such a change. Mr. Morrison publish ed a paper for years at Indianapolis, and none can be found who will venture to assert that it was in any way superior to the paper now published by Chapman. The State Sentinel also intimates that the democ racy of Mr. Morrison, is a little questionable; that he ridiculed the nommntion of Mr. rolk, and only came into his support at the eleventh hour, when his election was considered certain. If this be the fact, he would certainly be a very unfit person to be entrust ed with the direction of the democratic organ at the seat of goverment; for the county press must to a cer tain extent take their tone from that of the leading paperat the Capital. Another and more weighty objection with us is the fatal stab which the publication of a paper with the name of uen. Cass at the head would necessarily inflict upon the prospect of that gentleman for the next presidency. He is, we believe, the choice of the democray of Indiana for the next candidate but thjs premature agitation of the question, and the circumstances under which it would be made,;would estrange many from his support and probably defeat his nomination. From such ill-Judging friends the General may well pray to be saved. Fort Wayne Sentinel, August 30. A IVeiv llaia to pay Debts. We propose to the Bondholders and other creditors of those States which are at present unable to pay, to employ a few danseuses, vocalists, mountebanks, &c, and send them to this counuy, agreeing to share the receipts. In this way, provided their moustaches are black and long enough, and the petticoats short enough, and a sufficient foreign tout ensemble, some thing could be done, and Jlats made to be of service. fjrt-lhe MWaban limes is the name ot a new paper spoken of as about being established at Vin cennes', by R. N. Carnan and II. Fauntleroy, Esqs. It will probably advocate the claims of John Ewing and R. N. Carnan to all the offices in the gift of the people of Knox county, ad make severe punches in the rib cf Sam. Jadah and the Vincenncs Gazette, which said a poor man ought not to be entitled to vote with a man worth $100,000. Never mind, Cad., they can't hurt you.

L'uitetl State Senator. Accbrdln to a rule adopted by us, of giving publi-

cept so stated at the time. In the Following, we do certainly take exceptions to the "distinguished ability and unf inching (political) integrity" of either Mr. Teask-e of Mr. Morrison and we believe that, while we dispute not the argument nor directly approve it without modification, that our views will eventually be acknowledged correct by the great body of the party, eveii if they are not now so understood. The democratic party, by the result of the recent State elections, are entitled to have a Senator in Congress, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the expiration of the term of office of the Hon. A. S. White ; and hence the necessity of making the selection of a suitable person, from among the highly gifud and eminently qualified member! of the party, whoso names are mentioned iu connection with that office. That we have so long a list of -toorlhy names from which to make it, la to all, a matter of pride and cause of congratulation. The pretensions of the one ought not, and we hope wilt hot be, disparagingly compared with those of others. The party want bo person at party faction. They ihould encouf age lid strife about men, but guided by principles haviug for their ohj ct the public good and general welfare, they shoulJ make a selection. For the distinguished ability end onflnching integrity of a Whitcomb, a Bright, an Owen, a Peaslee, a Morria n, &c &c, they have each been tken by the people and placed high in office end power for a given period, which has not expired, Have the party others qualified for thj Senate, whose services are not now thus employed by the party 1 If they have, might it not be well to make such h selection, in preference to disturbing the present subsisting relations between others and the people ! If a practice of making one tffice in the Slate a stepping atone to another and higher one under the UenernI Ujvernment Should be permitted to glow up in the State, and be per sisted in, might it not in process of time (for we do not be lieve that such evils now exist,) tend to consolidation! by frittering away, little by little, the vigilance and fidelity of the State authorities, to guard the resetted rights of the State, against encroachments of the f deral government 1 Ought we not also to tear, that the fate of the lamented Howard in 1840, might again visit the party, if we again call a chosen servant of the peop'e, from one station ta fill another, before the exptrotion of their present terms T We respectfully, and with due deference to tho wishes aad opinions of others, throw out these suggestions for the reflection of our friends. We hope they may be received and considered by them, with the disposition and determination, with which they are written, to sacriCce on our part these opinions, if it becomes necessary to secure success and carry out the expressed wish of the jeopla. Indiana Patriot, Sept. 2. From the Logansport Photos, Sept. 3. Who's to ii Suitor t WHITCOMB. Strange that there should be any difference of opinion among the democracy on that subject. So far as we know the feelings of the party in the North, there is no one dreamt of for that station, but Governor Whitcomb. All the other aspirants put together have not half the claims on the party that Wuitcoxb has- Ho true-hearted democrat should listen a moment to those silly demagogues and two year-old converts from whiggery, who would sacrifice Whitcomb as they did Howabo. We go for justice and moral honesty in conferring honors. Let those who have won the laurels, wear them. Whitcomi'i tariff pamphlet, and bis zeal, assiduity, skill, and signal ability in the campaign of 1843, placed the democracy in the ascendant in ludiana. Let the party now do justice to so distinguished a leader. He will be an honor to the democracy in the Senate aa honor to the State anywhere. front the Fort Wayne Sentinel, Aug. 30. The State Sentinel gives the names of the following gentlemen aa spoken of in connection with the office of United States Senator from this Slate ! Lt. Gov. Bright, Robert Dale Owen, James Morrison President of Slate Bank, W. J. Peaslee president judge of the 5th circuit, Gov. Whitcomb, and Hon. Jjb. A. Wright. Of thse gentlemen we are free to confess that, individually, Mr. Owen would be our first choice. We look upon him aa ena of the first men io our State, and having few superiors in the Union-a statesman admirably calculated by his talents, his business habits, and calm deliberative turn cf mind, for a aeai in the Senate. Indiana could not be belter represented in that august body than by Mr. Owen. We think, however, that it ia due to Northern Indiana that the next Senator should be taken from that hitherto neglected portion of the Stale. The VVaoash and Southern part of the State have to far furnished all oar Senators, and as an act of simple justice to the North we hope her claims will not be Overlooked in the selection of a candidate. We would suggest the name of the Hon. E. M. CHAMBr.mi.iiji, of Elkhart county, as a gentleman every way qualified for the distinguished honor of a scat in the U. 8. Senate, and one whose election would give general satisfaction to the democracy of the North. What say the Goshen Democrat, Lima Independent Democrat, and Indiana Tocsin to the nomination of Mr. Chamberlain ! The Muncislown Democrat-thinks that eastern Indiana ought to have the next Senator, and suggests that Samuel . Perkins of Wayne county would be a suiuble msn. If the claims of eastern Indiana are atronger than those of the North, we should have no objections to the aelection of Mr. Perkins; but aa a matter of compromise, would it not be better to take up our able and indefatigable Representative to Congress, the Hon. Andrew Kennedy 1 Next to Mr. Chamberlain, we know no man in our ranks whose election would be more acceptable ta the North than Mr. Kennedy's. From the same paper. We do hope that the election of U. S. Senator may be conduced fairly and without any resort to the tricking and chicanery by which on former occasions o'jr legislators haa been disgraced, and the will cf the majority overruled by the obstinacy or dishonesty of a few. We hope next winter to see this vicious system discountenanced, and a man elected to the Senate who will be a credit to the State, and the choice of a majority of his party. This may be effected by holding a caucus and nominating a suitable candidate, and at the aame time pledging every democratic Legislator to aupport and abide by the nomination. They may individually have their preferences, and may rightfully elrive in contention to secure the nomination of their respective favorites ; but when the nomination is made it is the duty of every democrat cheerfully to aupport the nominee. We also hope that no notice may be taken of the manoeuvres of any cliques or cabala at the Capitol, who may seek to control the action of the Legislature on this imports nt question. The members are fully competent to manage thia business themselves ; they are fresh from the people, and able to make a nomination more generally acceptable to their constituents, than any which could be forced on them by the would-be wireworkers at Indianapolis. When the nomination ie made we trust there may be no bolting in our ranks but if unfortunately some should be lost to all feelinga of honor, and so recreant to their duty, as to vote against the regular nominee, let thetn be treated with the contempt they deserve, and no bargains or compromise made with them. It would be better to have a whig elected at once, than to suffer a few refractory or designing men longer to control our elections. If the majority only will be true to themselves, and leave the minority the alternative of either returning to their duty or of joining the whigs, they would be compelled to come over, or would be branded as traitors to their cause, whom no honest man could hereafter truat or repoae confidence in. A firm and decided course of conduct by the supporters of the regular candidate would show those who might be disposed to be refractory that any factious opposition on their part could only result in their overthrow ; it would be equivalent to the signing of their own political death-warrant. From the Jejfersonian, Sept. 3. We copy the above articles as we find them in the Semi Weekly Sentinel of the 37th ulL j end ae the editor of the Democrat haa called on us for our opinion, we will eandidly gits it Ws concur with the Democrat in opinion that the U. S. Senator ought to be selected from the Eastern part of the State; and we know of no person wbo ia better qualified and more entitled to it at the hands nf the democracy than Mr. Perkins. He haa battled Whiggrry in iUstrevq balds, under the most discouraging circumstances. Every effort was made by the federahats of thia county to put hirn down ; but in spite of all their effort, by bis industry and perse veranco, he has gained a reputation which places him beyond the reach of his petty pol:iicslehemies. His friends in this section of the Stale would be highly gratified to see him honored with a seat in the Senate of the United Statea. - In regard to the Supreme Judgeship, we hats only to say, that if, on the meeting of the Legislature, it should be deemed expedient by the democratic members to select some other gentleman aa Senator, and it ahould please Governor Whitcomb to nominale Mr. Perkins to that important station, his friends would be satisfied. He hss the talent, induatry and legal attainments to do honor to (he State and credit to himself as one of the Supreme Judges of Indiana; and such an appointment would, perhaps, be more acceptable to bim than a aeat in the Senate. We can assure the democracy of the State, from our knowledge of Mr. Perkins, that do fears need be entertain

ed of any difision in the party by the Urging of his claims. He is not a politician for the aake of the spoils and though very Unjustly treated by a profeased democratic Legislature two years ago, the traitorous members of which have been consigned to political obscurity by honest constituencies, he has never wavered in aupport of the principles he believed to be ribt. He will cheerfully acquiesce in the decisions of his party friends. J. E. U. S. Senator. As the question as to Who is most likely to represent the Democracy of Indiana in the Senate of the United States is now pretty ircnerallv

agitating the public mind, we shall take the responeibility of speaking for the Democracy in this eeciion. We know ot no one that would give more cerieral satisfaction, and at the same time fill that exalted sta tion with more dignity to himself, and honor to his party, and security to the people of Indiana, than our o"n distinguished townsman Thomas L. Smith, Esq. He is an able writer a bold and fearless Democrat has often been weighed in the great political balance, and has never yet been found wanting; He is talented and industrious, and would, if honored with the high trust, be an ornament to his party and an honor to the State. We shall have more to say upon this subject, by and by. yew Albany Dem. Aug. 29. That Expburb. The last "Beacon." asks "Does the Governor know a man named M. Willet 1" and then intimates that neither the "Chapmans" or the "Governor" dare impeach his veracity or question his democracy. We presume Dunn has reference to Col. Marinus WillCt, of Rush county. If this be the gentleman, neither the Chapmans or the Governor have any disposition to impeach his veracity or question his de mocracy, especially as Mr. Willet, so far as we are informed, has neither said or written any thing in relation to Gov. Whitcomb or his democracy ; and from the high character which he sustains in Indiana, as a gentleman and a democrat, we are satisfied he will not be found a co-laborer with John P. Dunn in the work of sowing the seeds of disunion or discord in our party. Major, you will hae to find some other witness; you can't use Mr. Willett. A Damper. The Indiana Patriot, an out:ahd-out Cass paper, throws the following cold dash ön Morrison & Co., and evinces some considerable foresight. Perhaps it is becoming a little jealous, as well as having learned something from experience. Whatever may he the cause, we commend the article following, from the Fatribt, hi jpuhd in every particular. The Presidency. Some of our exchanges begin already to talk of the Presidency in 1848. Th is may do to talk about, but nothing more at present certainly. When we shall have joyfully returned with the laurels of another Gubernatorial victory, then will be time enough to open the campaign of 4S. It is a matter of far greater importance to Indiana's favorite that his friends should be prudent, than that this or that one should be in the lead. Let the friends of Gen. Cass rather vie with one another, as to who shall do most to secure the permanency of correct principles in Indiana. No man dies so hard a death in politics as he who falls by the imprudence of his friends. Very Hard. A Coon editor, and a Skunk editor, the one at Corydori and the other at Lawrenceburgh, are quite wrathy because we did not get the Tost Office Jiere. They each act naturally, and we find no fault with them ort that account. Cut they will allow us to say, that we think tho President knows what he is about, and requires none of their advice. We are satisfied also ; and neither the President or ourselves are badly scared at their orful wrath. fjWe shall not commit forgery either to get or retain an office. Ho ! for Music ! We are informed that the celebrated vocal twin sisters, Misses Micoxasa, will shortly be here, with the inten tion of treating our music loving community with some of their best efforts. Mr. Friend, (nd we pronounce hira a friend of the ladiea,) accompanies the sisters, and ia not low ia the line himself. Now all prejudice aside, let us all hear these fine vocalists, and for once banish dull care by listening to that which is social, instructive and amusing.

The Democrat when he contends for the adoption of his principles, knows that he labors, not merely for the physical welfare of his fellows, not merely for the melioration of their outward condition, not merely for the commercial advantages of just laws, but for a constitution of political society that will promote the elevation and improvement of individual character. A government, organized according to the strictest rules of the democratic theory, we believe to be the

best adapted to develop botn tne external prosperity of a state, and th mriral and intellectual wiirth of jits citizens, ; The secret of its superior moral influence is in its snnerior freedom. Under a strict administration of it there can arise few causes of popular discontent. It commits none bf those acts of practical injustice, which embitter Classes against each other, and which growing into monstrous abuses, depress the industry and wither the spirit of a people. It throws men upon their own strength, accustoms thein to the practice of th5 firtt of duties, self-reliance, removes the obstructions that might otherwise destroy their ambition, and gives free scope to the exercise of the highest energies cf the intellect, and the best traits of the heart. In a word, it treats the human being, as his whole history and nature prove he deserve! to be treated, as a creature designed to make free use of his reason, and to enjoy without molestation, the common blessings of existence. Practical politics, by which we mean the success of certain measures, the rise or fall of indivduals, the triumphs or defeats of parties, are important because they affect the moral and social condition of man. They were a miserable business, indeed, if they bad no higher aim, than the aggrandizement of a few demagogues and charlatans. To engage in political wrangling with no other object than to sustain the claims of some wretched political hack, or to forward some petty partial interest, or to establish some correct scheme to gratify cupidity and selfishness, is a prostitution of the intellect alike degrading and disgraceful. It is only when the politician raises himself above considerations of expediency that he realizes the dignity of his vocation. Bryant. Counterfeiter Arrested. A man calling himself James Koss was arrested in this place late on Thursday evening last, attempting to pass a counterfeit Ä10 hill on the Lafayette Bank of Cincinnati. After two or three ineffectual attempts to pass the bill he was questioned and finaly searched when lo! in bis boot he had concealed four hundred and seventy dollars in lü's of the above Bank, and eighteen dollars in 3's on the Bank of Louisville. The bills are well executed ; a little coarser than the plates of the genuine, but badly signed. The Louisville bill is so well done th u but few persons would be able to detect it. The man told different stories about the money, says he has a brother in Brookville of whom he received the $10 which be attempted to pass ; but he at first said he got it of D. Kelso, Esq., of Switzerland Coun ty. He is undoubtedly a branch of the Warsaw gang, part of whom are now in jail. Look out for these gnetry there are more of them yet at large. Lawrenceburgh Register. It will be remembered that an act was passed by the list Legislature authorising the purchase of a site for the erection of a State Lunatic Asylum, which has bo far been carried into effect, as the purchasing, by the commissioners appointed for that purpose Messrs. John Evans, Livingston Danlap, and J. Blake, the farm of N. Bolton, two miles west of Indianapolis, for the sura of 5,300. The said farm contains one hundred and sixty acres, and is considered a very suit able location. We hope this matter will be urged forward with all due celerity, as it is an important undertaking, and one which has been delayed only too long, and our coming Legislature should take it under consideration at an early date, so that a bill may be properly and ethciently matured for the lull and speedy completion 01 suitable buildings, &c incennes Ga zetle Wheat. Scarcely any wheat is coming into this marketat this time. Our streets, which were throng ed with wagons a week or two ago, now look compa ratively dull. The reason of this dulness is the low price offered for wheat by our millers fifty cts. per bushel being the top of the market. The present price of flour will not admit of their paying more than this price. We see by the Cincinnati Gazette of Thursday that the city millers of Cincinnati are only paying the same price paid in this city. 'Lawrenceburgh Regis ter. A.

ITitf Miracles never cease I More evidence of its surpassing health Restorative Virtues ! iiin-n Silin from Dr. Baler, Springfield, Wash gtom co. i Messrs. Sanford & Park. Springfie'd, Ky. May 14, 1S43. Gents I take this opportunity of informing you 6f most re markable cure performed upon me by the use of 'Dr. Wistar's Balsam ot Wild Cherry. In the year 1840 I was taken with Sn inflammation of tbe bowels which I labored under for six weeks when I gradually recovered. In the fall ef 1831 I was attacked with a severe cold, hieb seated Itself upon my lungs ; and for the space of three years I was con-' lined to my bei!. I tried all kinds of medicines, and every variety' of medical aid without benefit ; and thus I wearit-d along until the winter of 1844, wben I heard ot "HlttarU BaUam efWUd Cherry." My friends persuaded me to give it a trial, though I had given ap all hopes of recovery and bad preparcu myself for tbe change of another world. Through their solicitations I was induced to make use of the Genuine WutarU Bait am ef Wild Cherry. The effect was truly astonishing. After five yeart of affliction, pain and suffering ; and after having- spent four or five hundred ttoUan to no purpose, and the bestand most respectable physicians had proved unavailing, I was soon lestored to entire health by tbe blessing; of God and the use of Dr. wittar's BaUam of Wild Cherry. I are now enjoying; good health, and such is my altered appear aee that I am no longer known htn I meet my former acquaint. ance. I have gained rapidly in weight, and my flesh is firm and solid. I can now eat as muck as any person, and my food seems to agree with me. I have eaten more during the last six months than I had eaten five years before. Considering; my ease almost a miracle, I deem it necessary for the good of the afflicted, and a duty I owe to the proprietors and my fellow men (ho should know where relief may Ui had) to make this statement public May the blessings of God rest upon the proprietors of so talua ble a medicine as Wistar'i Balsam of Wild Cherry. Yonrs respectfully, WM. II. BAKER; Jr-The following letter from Doctor Rite hey, of Franklin, lud.,' who stands hih in his profession, and ranks among tbe first politicians of the Starte, shall speak for itself ia commendation of the Genuiae Wislar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. Franklin, Ind., April 14, 1845. Messrs. ianfurfl fc Park I have but a few bottles of Wittai's bal sam of wild cherry remaining on hand ol the last lot furnuhed me by you. I heretofore waited until I had sold out and had obtained the money for one lot before I cdered another. But such is the demand for the article that I do net wish to be without it, and ana therelore led to anticipate a little. Tbe money for tbe last lot shall be furthcoming; by the time the lot is flit posed of, hieb, from the ales I have made lately, I think will be but a short time. The ef fects ol the balsam are in many ca- strikingly bettefitial. fJt improve vpen acquaintance mere fea any ether Patent Medicine I have ever kneicn.$ Almost all others fail upon trial, and not being able lo bear tbe test of experience,' soon sink into disuse. ThU, however, seems to be most highly vatned by those who have tested its virtues, and experienced its healing; efficacy in their ows cases. Yours very respeeifuirv. JAMES RITCI1ET.
