The Democrats of Certtrc Township will hold a meeting on FRIDAY NEXT at 2 o'clock, p. m., at the Court House, to appoint delegates to the County Convention. A, punctual attendance is requested. rolitic.il Mysteries of Iudianripol.s. CHAPTER XII. Mr. Feaelee, we fear, will suppose we have forgotten him, in consequence of our tardiness in noticing his intrigues in relation to the late congressional nomination, which we hinted at in our last. But we presume he can easily excuse the delay. There were several aspirants for the democratic nomination in this, the 5th district, previous to the last election. Among those mentioned, either by themselves or their friends, were Messrs. Wick, Palmer, Tannehill, Ritchey, Coot, Teaslee, and A. F. Morrison. So far as we were concerned, we should have been well enough pleased with the nomination uf Falmer, Ttnnehill, or Ritchey, a well as Wick. Dr. CoA we knew but little of previously ; could have had no Objection to him, and should have cheerfully supported him had he been the nominee. Morrison, of course, pushed himself out, as usual. Nobody but himself would have thought of his nomination. The scandalous course he had pursued two years previously when Erown was nominated alone would have prevented his nomination at the last May Convention. Morrison probably knew this very well ; but he had another object in v:eV ; he was an applicant for the post office at Indianapolis, and he wanted two strings to his bow. He desired to produce effect at Washington, and to have an opportunity to bargain with his competitors for either office here. Tassing over his intrigues and attempted bargains with others, for the present, we confine ourselves to Feaaelee, with whom Morrison compromised, and in whose favor he finally icithdreic. Peaselre acted more adroitly than Morrison cunning and smart as the latter thinks himself. He had for some months been paving his way among that class of men who endeavor to regulate all sorts of political adYirs among the lawyers as they travel round the circuit. Consequently, in several of the counties, he had persons legging for hirn a very coram n arrangement anung fourth-rate politicians, who "help one, auotber" in that way. One of the reasons Peaslee gave for wishing to change his Judgeship for a seat in Congress was, that the confinement of the Bench injured his health ; and that he should be obliged to resign his Judgeship, whether nominated for Congress or not. This was a humbug on the face of it: just look at it; confinement five or six hours a day, he says, for two or three weeks at a time, injures his health ; which he proposes to cure by subjecting himself to a great deal worse confinement, six minths on a stretch! Hair of the same dor or a madder one with a vengeance! But he Aj nit resigned his present office, according to his verbil an J written declaration, and we predict he will not da s ) until he has a chance for a better one, for which be will mike it a stepping stone, if he can. This fase pretence W3.3 put forth for the sake of exciting sympathy in his behalf, it was contemptible enough, to sure ; but it was n t so outrageous as to be un pirJ:nb!e. There were others, less pardonable and ls hourabla. To say nothing of neglecting the du:ies a;ertjining to his present office ; keeping two or three Jackills at the Court House door, on the watch for country people who coulJ be tdked to advantageously ; of leaving the Bench irt the midst of important causes, at the signal of the Jackall's wink, and going out and lying. upon the grass, and lying to such a3 would then and there listen to hltu. All this was neither so reputable nor so excusable. Eut this was not all. False reports were circulated to injure other candidates, particularly Dr. Ritchey. The public will remember his allusion to them in his letter to the convention. This was f ruel as well as base; and had no little weight in serving to covfirm our feelings in relation to the several candidates. We are willing to see competition, but we also want fair play at the same time. "Petticoat influence" was also in some instances brought to bear, for the purpose of winning over certain supposed influential persons; and this was decidedly the strongest and best support which he had, and the hardest for men of gallantry, or admirers of the sex as we profess to be to resist. The day of the meeting of the people of this township at length came, the purpose of which was the nomination of delegates to a County Convention. The Editors vf this paper attended, as they usually do ; but not with any desire to take a leading or prominent part. So far from that, they desired to be mere spectators. The senior was appointed one of the delegates to the County Convention ; he desired to be excused ; but the majority refused to grant the excuse. The junior was also appointed a delegate but at his urgent request vas excused from serving. Neither" of us, considering the position we occupied, desired to act as umpire in such a case, especially as we were supposed to be personally inimical to one or two of the aspirants. The County Convention soon followed, to appoint delegates to the District Convention, when, though he was fiot a member and though he was utterly ignorant that any such thing was in contemplation, the junior edaor of this paper was appointed one of the delegates to the District Convention from Centre township, Marion cou. ty. Having been thus appointed, and, on second thought concluding to serve as a Delegate in the District Convention, the junior felt himself bound in honor to carry out the wishes r f the majority of Lis party, represented in part by Lim, without the slightest regard "to consequences personal , to himself ör any other individual. Such also appeared to be the fcel.ng of a majority of the delegates from the same tottnshipr. But such did not appear to be the opinion or desire of Mr. Peaselee. He waited upon two or more of the live delegates of the township, (one being from the first his fist friend,) and urged Lis claims upon them and the party, personally. Iiis appeals to the junior editor of this paper, beginning by wheedling and eoJing by cövert threat, the latter answered by plainly telKnjj him -that the only, rule of action, he could recognize as proper was to carry out in Pood faith, as far as possible, the wishes of a majority of the constituency represented. He, or his friends who approached others for the same purpose, received from . thcaa a similar reply. As moon as Peaseee' eonfJuantial friend found they could not probably secare a majority of the delegates from tins' county in favor of his nominator, they tat themselves to work as hafd as they could, to compass the defeat of Wick af any rate and we can prove by the delegation from this township, that they were continually beet and urged by Fca'ielee's friends, forthat rwir;-e. "Any Itoly hut Wick" was then their cry. Tiey professed a willingness to go for any body but

Wick, if his friends', of ratLcr the friends of honest policy, would do violence to their principles by acting contrary to what they believed to be the wish of the people, which it was their duty to honestly endeavor to fulfil. This implacable hostility cf Peaslee and his friends to Wick, was th more remarkable as but a short year or so before, they had professed towards him the greatest possible degree of friendship. They t'un stood in "need of his character and popularity to help themselves ino public confidence and oTice; he now was a candidate for the very office wanted by

Judge Peaselee. They therefore turned upon him, and we could compare their conduct towards him, to nothing better than that of a gang of footpad?, who, pressing their victim down with their knees, were trying as hard as they could to cut his throat with a rusty knife. This was the progress of affairs up to the meeting of the District Convention. That butly met, and after organization, the Delegation of Marion county collectively, as well as others, withdrew to decide among themselves the question of preference among candidates. The Marion county delegation decided in favor of Wick cs first ch ic3, by a vote of seven out of nine townhips two only being given for Teaselee with all the aid the Morrison family " could bring to him. The reaselee men or " Morrison family " then moved for a second cho'rt, against which the Wick men argued that if we adhered to him in Convention, for a reasonable time, we should have probably the advantage of a change in some, other county, in favor of our first choice, and thus I certain of his nomination. This was' fair general-hip ; but the PeaseJee men grew so warm upon it, that the Wick men yielded the point, and many of them voting for Feaseleb through misapprehension, he was declared the second choice over Wick by fi re to four town-hips. Now comes one of the special beauties of Peasleeiem. As soon as res sice was declared the second choice, cue of Tens-let's friends, a brother-in-law of Morrison, nvved to appoint a certain friend vf Peaslee to cast the vote rf Mtrion county in Convention, and to tcaie it tn his sole discretion to role for Wick as long as lie thought proper, and after he thought it proper to change, then to tote for Peaslee : in other words, to confer on a single person the Combined power of the vhole Democratic Party of Marion County, to be exercised as he alone thought expedient and proper ! ! ! We never believed that the author of that motion was fully sensible of its gross enormity. He was blinded to its extravagance in every respect, by his over-wrought zeal for Peaslee and his personal host.lity to Wick. The proposition was of course rejected, though not without a manifestation of passion for and against ; and the person appointed to vote was instructed to give it for the first choice of the delegation until otherwise directed. Now for this conduct of Teaslee's friends in that Delegation, we hold him to be responsible. We have many reasons for so doing besides those to which we have briefly alluded in this very meagre and hasty sketch. It is for assisting to thwart him in such unfair schemes and intrigues that he is olFeuded at us, and for nothing else. Let the Teople judge between him and us, as to these things. Su1 tic ii Ca vc-in. The following is from the Lawrenccburgh Beacon, Dunn's paper, of Oct. 30 : "First Xcmeer. With this rtiifiibor we enter the ninth year of the Political Beacon. What we intend to offer as an inducement to subscribers, We will not this week state ; but will say, now is the time to make advance payments for the coming year, and pay up all old arrearages of the last year." We don't know how many advance payments Dunn may have received for the Beacon ; but the next day after the above was published, Nov. 1, we End the following announcement of its sale to the Lawrence burgh Register : "We have purchased the entire establishment of the "Political Beacon," and hereafter that paper will not be issued. The subscription Books of the Beacon will bs tnn-ferred to the otlice of the Register, and the subscribers will be furnished with the Register instead of the Beacon. The Register will be continued the same size as at present for two or three weeks when it. will be enlarged to a double medium size. "It is said that in union there is strength, and we hope by this union to be able to add strength to the Democratic party, and at the same tnic add strength to our pecuniary circumstances. We now ask for ourselves a fair trial, and we fear not we will be able to prove ourselves worthy the patronage and support of the people ot Lawrenceburgh and of Dearborn county. "We will not make a long string of p:omises of what we intend to do, the people all know us now and know what we have been since we have been among them, and we are willing to be judged of the future by the past. The course of the Register will be unchanged we will endeavor Xa make it in future near what it has been heretofore, and improve it if We can." j We have no doubt that all parties will be benefited by this arrangement, certainly none can be injured, j We should like to know if Dunn has succeeded in forcing his appointment to office by the President, as a certain gentleman is endeavoring to do here, by means similar to those employed by Dunn 1 We shall see perhaps, by. and by. The Great' Western Con vo hi ion, To be held at Memphis, on the PJth ius-t. We published in our paper f the 4th ult. a notice of this great Convention, so important to the interests of the South and West. We hope this city will appoint delegates, as has almost every city -and town of note, in the sections interested. We have the word of gen tlemen Who will attend if nominated. Suppose then that a public meeting be held on THURSDAY AFTERNOON, tlie Cth, to appoint delegates ! It should be attended to at once. fjTWe commend the resolutions of the Democrats of Wayne County, which will be found in another column, to the attention of oor readers. Aside from the one relating to the State Sentinel, fur which we are very grateful, and shall endeavor to prove worthy of, we think the resolutions evince a true democratic spirit, and cne which will be warmly approved by the great mass of our party, as well as by a large majority of the Democrats cf the Legislature. Thanksoiving.-"--As we expect the Governor will shortly recommend, a day for thanksgiving, we would notice that we shall be prepared to feeeive s Turkey or two just before the time.' As o many will probably be sent in, it is likely we shall celebrate the day in style, and improve much faster than on corn bread and potatoes, and have" something to give thanks for. The proclamhtion has come. Read it. (XrOur thanks are due to K. IL, J. C. P. and others of Charlestown for a batch of fifty subscribers accompanied by the cash.

A writer in the Rochester American, gives an account of a recent Grand Council of the Confederate Iroquois on the Tonawanda Reservation in Genesee county. In the course of the narrative he says : ' The profound regard and veneration which the Indian has ever retained towards the iranre and memory of Washington, is most interesting evidence of his universally appreciated worth ; and the fact that the Red men regard him not merely as one of the best, but as the very best man that ever has existed, or that ever will exit, is beautifully illustrated in a singular credence, which they maintain even to this day ; viz : that Washington is the tfnly white man who has ever entered Heaven, and is the Only one who will enter there tiil the end of the world. Michigan State Bank. We find the folIowinV in regard to this institution in the last Detroit Free Press : , The attorney general has commenced proceedings by film an information in the nature of a quo warranto, against the State Bank of Michigan. The question involved, if decided against the bank, takes away its charter. The declaratiftn that its charter had been forfeited by non user, as well as by refusing to redeem its notes, are two of the questions to be decided by the Supreme Court at its January term. The establishment of either proves fatal to the bank. . It is stated in the Brookville American that on Friday week last Mr Archibald Estep of Liberty, lnd. killed Mr. llaslem of that "place, by striking him with a chair. The American says it is understood Mr. Estap acted in self-defence, and that he gave himself up- to the officer and was held to bail ia 2000.

COItUCSPOXDEACC. BROOKVILLE. It., Öct. 23, 1815. Mtif ms. CaiMtü : We had our meeting last Saturday, to appoint delegate to the State Convention which is to assemble at Indiampj'is nrxt winter. No expression of opinion was maJe as to who the Democracy of Franklin county would prefer for t?oernor, or Licuu Governor. Gov. Whitcomb would be undoubtedly the choice of a mnjuity of the Democrats of Franklin, were it not for the fact that we are looking forward with strong hopes of his election to the Se itte of the United States. I t'oubt not hut that you anj those who see some of the papers published in the eastern part of the Slate, imagine that the people are not much interested in the matter, or that they are hostile to the election of Gov. Whitcomb. This, I leß leave to aure you is a very great mistke. In no other portion of the State maugre all these sapient quill-drivers msy say to the r onirary are the peop'e more warmly attached to Governor Whitcomb ; and I know I

u.w- .: . r - n - r thU Conaressional District, when I sty that the election of Gov. Whitcomb to the office of United States Senator would give more unalloyed satisfaction than' that of any other man. And I believe, that, take it generally throughout the State, the same feeling prevails. Every body hereabouts, perfectly understands the vindictive opposition of the Lswrenreburgh " Beacon " to the Governor. It has very little influence even with the Democracy of its own county. 1 verily brdieve that i's ediir is so far steeped in personal malice, that he would prefer the election of a Whig to Gov. Whitcomb. Why1 this is the fact, you know. about as well as I. By the way, it is strongly suspected amongst us, that the 44 Beacon" is the mouthpiece cf "a pwer behind the throne ("Tripod") greater than the throne itself." If the Democratic members of the Legislature go into caucus, and select fairly some other thao Gov. Whi'cnmb, no good Democrat, however so wsrm a friend, would have any reason to complnin nor would any do so. All we ak here, is for that course to he adopted which will best harmonize and secure the entire, etreng'h of our friends ', and such I feel warranted in saying would be the rosull of the caucus plan. Let this course be adopted, and then we need not feat the election of some doughficed Democrat, or some demagogue whose political composition romiists of Jahn Randolph's seven principles." We want no General Cameron to represent Indiana in the Senate of the United States. Let oar friends do their duty in defiance of Whi? malice or the petty, paltry oppo-ition of a few rerklcss disorganizes in our own rinks, and all will be well. The loud braiyns; ot a few political ases should not cause the first Democrat to waver in the fulfilment f his duty towards himself, his county and his country's dearest rights. CIV'I-S. P.S. The other paper cannot go it here; but I shall write ogain about this matter. Randolph Cocstv, October 23, 1543. Messrs. Ciiapma. : I have concluded I would em ploy a few minutes in scrihbling to you. First to I t you know I am yet in the land of the living, and second, to , let you know that 1 am plensed at the course you have j pursued in the Sentinel relative to the great mystenea in Babylon. It we have traitors in our ranks, the sooner they are exposed the better fir the preat and good cause : we have had victory upon victory in the Iloosier State, and hard battles fought for those victories; and shall the Judases (if we have any) come in and betray us ? 1 trust not. Last August the people again spoke in language that cannot bo misunderstood; yes, Democracy has again said to her agents (representatives,) carry out and maintain the Constitution ;. put your best men in offire ; yes, true and tried democrats, for such we must have to cerrt out and maintain the principles that will make us a hap- ' py and prosperous people. They want none of those j milk and water, hodge podge sort ol creatures, that are amalgamated with the ruinous, spurious system of banking or anv other federal systems; who will dive into , them in all the underhanded ways that the old deuse can : invent, fur their own gain and promotion, and who care j nothing for the cause they pretend to espouse, but to an- : swer their own selfish ends ; men who even would sell i themselves and party, for a mess of pottage. God save ! us from such mortals (if such are in our ranks,) for men I : cannot call them. We have the majority, end the bone ' and sinew (the people) who cave us that majority expect us (the Legislature.) to act honestly and carry out their will, by maintaining the victory they have gained by . their bard (ought battles. Now, in my humble opinion, j the democratic Legislature should meet in caucus, the j candidates be presented for each otlice, and make the choice by ballot or otherwise, and pledge ourselres to support the nominee when in Convention ; I for one w ill pledge mvself with the same kind of a pledge as our f i- . .m f .1 sr ; titers did to t lie declaration or our rights. II we, the uemorrary, are all honest and true, nil we have to do, is to I act promptly ; there will be no need cf cooing or cozeni ing with our whig friends. Our artion should be that of : independent democrats, and all will be right ; I have my choice in officers, but if 1 am deprived of tint choice, I

still go Tor the great and food cause; yes, if I am defeat- ma'ana, is invited to be helä at Indianapolis, on Wednesed in rriv personal preference I still go for the principle. daS '0lh day of December next. Ample provision wilt

Union should be the wntrhword, and sotion the handmaid of Democracy at Indianapolis .this winter, and all will be right. V. Gbexük Cochtt, Ixd., Oct. 30, 1845. Dear Sir Appended you will see the names of twenty subscribers for the State Sentinel, Weekly, for twelve months, and enclosed are twenty dollars to pay for the same. Keep a continual spurring those skunks till they become good democrats, or lenders of the coon clan. The sooner the democratic party it rid of all such men as the Morrisons the belter. Their places will soon be filled by honest men from the Whig ranks. Youri, tru'y, C. G.

Commodore Stewart has published a reply to that portion of Mr. Ingersoll's History of the late War, in which his conduct and that of com. Baixbridge, in upholding the Navy against the determination of Mr. .Madison's administration to lay it up in ordinary, is attributed to mercenary motives. We knew Mr. Injjersoll was wrong, the mament we saw his sta'ement. . v j . ivnni . The reader will find the whole matter clearly set forth in Mr. Cooper's admirable - Naval History. Ohio Statesman. ' Machinery versus Physical Labor. Mr. Owen said on Thursday, at the National Association of Inren'.ers, that s great had been the improvements in machinery that 20J0 men with its aid, could accomplish as much as could be done without machinery fifty years ago with C0O.C00 men ; or that human invention had created a power equal to three times the manual labor of the globe N.

A comparison of our former reports shows the increae of business to be much greater than was anti cipated by any one. We sincerely congratulate the whole central of Indiana indeed the whole State-on the prospects before us resulting from the energetic manner in which our now available public works are managed, and their rapid progress to completion. We predict no we won't predict but we feel confident that on the completion of this road, it will not only move on northward, but will be intersected by branches from every d.rection. Already is Shelby county moving in the matter; and Louisville is talking about a road from JciTeronvilIe to this place. Let us move on, finishing one work at a time, by which means are raised to prosecute others. We iiope our VThig friends will now see how much better is individual enterprise than "whole hog State systems." Make the works build themselves, as the railroad is doing, and we have no fears of an interminable delt. Flour. On Sunday night pome gentlemen arrived express from Columbus 0., 170 miles in about 30 hours, and departed same night for St. Louis, by way of Lafayett Thev made arranpmonts here for the Durchase I - ,nrLn . , , . . r , . , ( of 1000 barrels, which were on Monday contracted i for at ft3 75, deliverable at Madion. On the 6ame day 2 K) barrels, in store, were sold at $2 97. This was before the vetcs transpired. It was then communicated to us, anil we made a speculation, the terms of which we shall keep to ourselves for the present. We learn now, by private advices that flour has takci another rise in New York, and is quoted as high as 6. Flour Market. The Tlaindealer states that the flour market of Cleveland, on the 24th, was flat. The Buffalo Pilot says, under date cf the 23d : "There was very little done in our market yesterday. The conflicting views of dealers in relation to the last newp, caused a decline in the price of flour, of from 25 to 37ic., to which few holders are inclined to submit. We notice sales of 400 barrels, Michigan, at al G2i a I 5G 170 barrels, Indiana, at 1 75 T)t)0 barrels", Black Bock, at 4 56, and 500 do. at $1 50." We take eggs on subscription at a very liberal price. If not brought in on that account, we will take a quantity fur cash. Bring them on soon. First come, first served. Sabbath Convention.
