We .are full convinced that a tri-weekly paper will le equally valuable and more economical than a daily, and have therefore concluded so to publish. Our session paper will be of the same large size as the Weekly Indiana State Sentinel, and afforded at one dollar. We shall have full and accurate reports of the proceedings of the Legislature made up daily ; and we Lave also engaged competent law reporters to report the decisions of the high courts. The importance of the action of the next Legislature upon subjects of vast interest to the people at large, must 1 apparent to all ; and all are interested in the information to be obtained from a full report of their proceedings. We have further engaged regular correspondents at Washington city, who will keep us constantly and correctly advised or all matters of importance relative to every branch of the Government. As some may wish to subscribe for a longer term than the session, or for the Weekly Sentinel, we subjoin our terms in full : State Sentinel, semi-weekly, and tri-weekly durirg the session, $4 00 per year.

By a notice in another column, it will be seen that the enterprising citizens of Shelbyvillc and Shelby county, are about to make an energetic attempt to coustruct a branch Railroad from Shelbyville to Edinburgh, the present depot of the 31. & I. Railroad. We have no doubt they will be successful. ' A Railroad is also talked about, from Ccntreville to Connersville, or some other point on the Canal line between that place and Cambridge One half of the stock will be taken at Centreville. Go ahead1, and we'll sooit have an extension of the same to this place. C7"Morrison is very wrathy because we have agi tated the question of the election of U. S. Senator, and called on the People and the Tress for an expres sion of opinion on the subject. lie says, especially, that we had no authority to name Judge Morrison or Judge Peaselee. We know that; and know it did not suit the schemes of either of the gentlemen that we should do so. They desired to fix the matter quietly, to suit themselves, and to call on the Legis lature merely to ratify and confirm their arrangements the one to the Supreme Bench ; the other to the Senate! " No authority " to name Judge Morrison ! ! We could safely name him without authority : for whoever saw the time when some member of the "Royal Family " was not either in office, or a candidate for office 1 A terribly " imprudent" thing it was to lay open the question to the People, in Morrison's estimation ! The Juntc- know so much letter than the people do how to manage those affairs ! Well, well : Jet the people themselves decide upon this question of " imprudence," and on that of Senator, too. . fjA great deal of misrepresentation is made in relation to the "Industrial Convention," composed of Reformers from several different cities and States, which was recently held in New York. We find a report of its proceedings in the N. T. Tribune and Young America. For the information of our readers, we copy the address of the Fresidcnt of the Convention, Mr. Wait of Illinois, formerly of the well known publishing House of Lilly, Wait & Co. of Boston. We mty hereafter give further extracts from the proceedings, not because they suit our own views entirely, but for the purpose of giving, our readers some information of the doctrines of the chief actors, from their own mouths, instead of the distortions of the enemies of all political and social reform. (7-We have received a communication from Wm. J. Peaslce, in reply to certain strictures which we have made in relation to his course as a politician. It is a rare affair. He draws tli3 portrait of his own character most admirably. We shall publish it in our next paper. - We have also received a communication from Col. Fepper, which will ba attended to shortly.

rolitic.il Jljslerics of tuolis. CHAPTER XIII. One of the principal acoiced causes of the hostility of the Old Democratic Junto, together with its iieic recruits, against the Editors of the State Sentinel, grew out of the conflicting views in relation to the Presidential canvass previous to the last Baltimore Convention. From the time of the defeat of 1340, to within two

months of the Baltimore Convention of May, 1914, it was almost universally considered, and conceded by a sort of general consent that Mr. Van Buren would be the candidate of the Democratic party for re-election. So far as tee are concerned, we are willing to acknowledge that we participated in what seemed to be the general sentiment of democrats, that tee owed it to our own party, much more than to Mr. Van Buren, to re-elect him if we could. But we never were so much bound to Mr. Van Buren, or any other man, as to induce us to hazard the srecesa of our party and its principles for the sake of showing our confidence in and respect to him. Our course during the canvass was governed by the following considerations : We regarded the nomination of Mr. Van Buren as as an event very likely to happen. The Baltimore Convention, however, was the tribunal to settle that question. He thought that the wisest course which could be pursued, especially in this Stats, where parties were so nearly balanced, was to keep ounelves and our party uncommitted as to ant man ; to keep united and if possible progressive in parly strength on the grounds of public policy; alone And to point continually to the Baltimore Convention as the proper and timely arbitrator cf the question of candidacy, in whose decision all stujdd acquiesce. Were these views right and politic, or were they wrong and impolitic. ? On the answer to this question depends the approval or disapproval of our course by the Democratic party at large. That we maintained this impartial position in relation to candidates, is indirectly though strongly proved by these facts, to wit : While here, at Indianapolis, it was charged by the Old Junto that we were loo exclusively devoted to Mr. Van Buren, on the other hand, in the Northern part of the State, it was supposed that we sqid too little in his favor, and that we were loo much disposed to favor Gen. Cass at Mr. Van Buren's expense 1 The truth is, that acting in accdrdarice with the policy to which we have referred above, and which Was based on the necessity of the times, and the cir cumstances predominant, we did endeavor, zealously. to dtfend Mr. Van Euren against the false charges which had been heaped upon him by the Whigs, especially during the Hard Cider Canvass. We were induced to do this, without avowing him to be our first choice as a candidate for re-election, for various reasons: It was due to our party as well as to himself, that the false charges against him should be repelled aud refuted, for the party's character and credit, as well as Mr. Van Burcn's. "If he had obtained the nomination, as it was highly probable that he would, then we should have had the advantage of the defensive warfare with the whis beforthand, and would have immediately changed our attitude into one exclusively offensive against their principles and their candidate. - Whether Mr. Van Buren was nominated or not, the defensive articles which we published in his favor could not possibly have done the slightest harm, either to our party, or to any other candidate. So that nothing could, many event, by ßueh a course, be lost to the democratic party. It was a safe policy if not a sure one. This policy, however, by no means suited the Old Junto at Indianapolis. Supremely selfish themselves, they could not realize the fact that the motives which actuated us were any more generous, or any less heartless or mercenary than their own. Following the camp fur the sake of "spoils" alone, they could not believe that men of ordinary intelligence, could do a soldier's duty for any thing but pay. They saw, or thought they saw, that the chances for them to obtain office under Mr. V. B. was smaller that it would be under any bodv else. A. F. Morrison knew this was his predicament, for Mr. Van Buren while Presi dent had refused to give him a land office, because of his known mercenary and doubtful political character, j Others supposed it would be the same with them, hecause the Globe had announced, that it would not be likely that tlioso who hid held office for years under Jackson and Van Buren would be reinstated, if Mr. Van . Buren should be "restored." The Old Junto then as we have observed, were not willing that we should maintain an impartial position as to candidates. (7They wished and solicited and urged us, virtually to drop Mr. Van Euren, and, in advance of the Baltimore Convention, to declare Gen. Cass the first choice of Indiana. This we refused to do. We should hve been totally unworthy of the position we occupy if we had yielded to their unwarranted and base solicitations. But while thus refusing to forestall the Baltimore Convention, we never refused to give the friends of any and every candidate", including Gen. C&sa,fuU and free scope in our columns to discuss the relative merits of each, and the probabilities of success with one more titan another. That the Junto did not avail themselves of this liberality more freely was owing to the f ict that they relied, as they always have done, much more on intrigue, trickery, and management, than upon open and honest avowals and appeals to the peopled In justification of our refusal to yield to their unwarrantable requisitions, we cited these men to the State Convention of January, 1844, which had approved and adopted the policy of referring the subject of personal preferences entirely to the National Convention for settlement, though it was well known that a large majority of that State Convention personally preferred Mr. Van Bureu. We cited them also to the numerous meetings of the people, and the resolutions which were passed on this subject ; and to the Press of the Stat, a majority of which had declar ed Mr. V. B. their first choice. But all these and other considerations of like nature, had no weight with the Old Junto. They did not believe in the propriety of waiting for the unbiassed action of the National Convention. They wished to decide the matter before the meeting of that body. "And it is because and only because we refused to become parties to their dishonesty and fraud, that we incurred at tlrat time, and have ever since enjoyed their inveterate hatred. The Census. In publishing the returns from tlie Auditor of State's office, of the white male inhabitants over the age of 21 years, in the several counties of this State, we ac cidentally omitted tor give the sum total. As we ob serve numerous errors, both in the list and total, as copied in other papers, we give the latter according to the table, viz: 155.4C9. The proceedings of our Rush Comity friends in meeting were received after our paper was ready for the press. They shall appear in our next , The same is the case witli the Switzerland County proceedings. 07-We are again constrained to let the State Bank, Sinking Fund, and one or two other subjects lie over a short time. - Our apology, to them all. We never strike until fully prepared.

Morrison's Democracy. . Morrison supposes hinwelf very cunning. In the first number of his piratical sheet, he has attempted to prove himself a Democrat, and says that "a very

laborious effort has been made by a certain class of politicians to create an alarm or panic in reference to" his paper. He says ire, Chapmans, have "know ingly uttered and repeated numerous untruths and slanders." (We will just stop here, and pronounce 'this . statement foist, and dare him to the proof.) Morrison goes on and says, "to these charges, where he is well known, he would scorn to make a reply." He then branches out In eight different paragraphs, numbered and labelled", in praise of himself, and his Democracy! and a ninth) begging editors to re-publish his igmarole as a statement of facts!! We will merely f e'mark oh a sentence quoted above, and pass on to examine the Democracy of Alexander F. Morrison, as appears from tbe records; and, as we 6hall take occasion to refer to it in detail whenever necessary, we shall be brief. Morrison, says he would scorn to reply to chartjes which are made against him where he is known. So fir as we have made charges against him, this is certainly a most wise conclusion, and evinces the greatest smartness we ever knew him to exhibit. We vouch that wherever he is known, it would be useless for him to rep?y successfully, to any charge we have made; and his cunning oxists only in that he has avoided a hard job of labor , for which he has a mortal antipathy, as we believe no man has seen him thus engaged in the last four or five years, at least in working hours. But we dare him to point out a single untruth we have knowingly uttered about him or any member of the Royal Family. In No. 1, Morrison cays he "was never any thing else than a Democrat from his boyhood." And 6ays he "Voted for Jackson in 1S24, in 1829, and in 1S32. He voted" he says, "for Martin Van Euren in 1836 and in 1840." And he further 6ays, "that he voted for James K. Polk in 1844." As to 1824, 1823, 1632, we know nothing; hut we would not believe him vn der oath when he says he voted for Van Buren in 1830 and 1840, or that he or any of the "family" voted for Mr. Tolk last year. They had no idea of his election, as was evinced by one of them cursing his nomination by the Baltimore Convention; It was not till the eleventh hour, when all things demonstrated the almost certain success of the Democracy, that they even pretended to be favorable to Mr. Polk's election. They felt more disposed to remain on the fence, pre pared for any intrigue that might offer, to being in the field or in the ranks. But Morrison says he "never was any thing else than a Democrat;'' Was the letter he wrote to Ratiiff Boon in 1S31 or '32, in favor of the U. S. Bank, Democratic! Was his course in the Senate in 1833-34, in favor of the State Bank, Democratic! Did his votes on that question against every propo sition to secure the rights of the people against the worst features of the system, many of which proposi tions were introduced by Gov. Whitcomb did they appear Democratic! Let those editors he begs to en dorse his Democracy" refer to the Senate Journal of 1833-4. After laboring with all his might to establish the State Bank with all its odious Whig features was dodin the final vote on the question, Democratic! When a member of the House in 1837-8, did A. F, Morrison not sign himself a Conservative! Was he not denounced by Hon. Thomas J. Henley as a Did not Morrison in return assail Henley as a "Locofoco" and an "Agrarian"! v Was not a resolution offered calling on him to de fine his position, and say whether he was a Whig or Federalist! Did his acts as Canal Commissioner, when he made unauthorized lettings to the amount of Upwards of $90,000, argue Democracy! When the law defining the duties of Canal Commissioners, forbade them to take contracts on the pub lic works, was it Democratic for Morrison to evade the law by taking contracts in the name of Irish la borers, whom he paid for thus subserving his smieter purposes! In 1837-8, when a resolution was offered in the House, "That the Fund Commissioners be instructed " to negotiate no loan hereafter in any other currcn " cy than gold and silver;" "And, also, to make no " depositcs of any money hereafter, in any other tnan 44 solvent specie paying banks," and it was moved to lay said motion on the table, or in other words, kill it, did not A. F. Morrison vote in the affirmativ thus leaving the Commissioners to complete their beautiful Gallipoll3 and Soap Factory transactions, whereby the State has lost millions! Was this Dc mocraey! Ayj Morrison's Democracy. (See II. Jour., p. 57G.) When a bill to suppress gambling was on its pas sage, did not Morrison vote against it in a minority of 12! This is Morrison's Democracy, sure enough (H. J. p. 583-4.) On the joint resolution against the Specie Circular of Gen. Jacksort, (Sec laws of 1837-8,) did not Mor rison vote with the Whigs, and against that circular, by which Gen. Jackson saved the Government from Bankruptcy, and the lands from the horde of Eank pa per speculators which then infested the country, and to whose interests Morrison naturally pandered! This is a pure specimen of Morrison's Democracy. When Sam. Judah moved "to take up the bill to confirm the State Bank of Indiana and its franchises" that is, when the Bank had forfeited its charter by suspending specie payments Morrison was found al ways voting with the Whigs, in favor of protecting and re-cliarlering that institution or in other words, allowing dishonest bankers and speculators to be abote the law, and to violate it with impunity for their own special benefit. (See II. J. p. 593 et seq. This, also, is Morrison's Democracy; When this fraud on the public was accomplished, and Mr. Vandeveer moved that the Bank should re deem its five dollar notes in specie, even if left to re pudiate all others, Morrison is found voting with the Whigs against even that small relief to the people, preferring at all times rather to uphold these swindling transactions, than to force the Banks to be honest (II. J. p. G04 et seq.) Truly this is Morrison Democracy from his loyhoo-l!!! When Milton Stapp (II. J. p. 617.) moved that whenever hereafter tbe Bank should suspend specie payments, (the Banks had not resumed, mind,) the Legislature miglit declare the charter forfeited; and Judah moved to amend, that said Bank should not receive any amount from any Banking Company less than fifty dollars, except at its full par value; and when Mr. Furgason moved to amend, to divorce the State Bank and Branches from all connection with the Internal Improvement pbliciji not within its Sphere, you will find Morrison voting wil the Yhigs in every phase the question assumed, or else dodging the vote. His whole course shows him to be decidedly in favor of all kinds of swindling Banks. This much at present for No. 1; but as there needs but similar answers to most of his other modest claims, we will devote but a short time to them. Th 2d, is where he claims to have alwa) s voted for Democrats. If his definition of Democracy be that of the Whig party, he may be correct. The Whigs have attempted to steal the Democratic name; but they have not as yet succeeded; neither will Morrison. Ills hypocrisy is too apparent. That he has

always voted for the rrgular Democratic candidates, no one who knows him will for one minute believe. But his vote is his own property, and we only find fault, not with his casting it as suits himself, but for attempting to make others believe that he cast it differently from what he did. 3d. Every one knows how Morrison labored to elect

i himself, by taking all sides of the questions agitated, especially when he was last a candidate fur the State Senate. That he ever labored fof others, we must have further evidence than his own say so, before we believe one word of it, excepting, perhaps, he considers labor the fifty cents he reluctantly gave to help to purchase powder last year, and perhaps a trifle iilore when he was made the lig gun at the barbecue, and expected to have his laborious sertices on that occa sion freshly remembered, when the time came. 4th. Morrison brags about receiving a larg?r vote than his party when a candidate. Rather a suspi cious circumstance. Until we drew the cloaks from the hypocrites tor the purpose of giving the people fair play, the Junto could play any game which suited them. In connection with the plotting and Scheming Whigs, therefore, the Junto, by bargäining, could always manage their 'cards, and elert their own tools. The State has suffered some in consequence, as the honest of all parties well know. öth. He boasts of his services in the Legislature. We have made a few short references to them; and whether he has ''forfeited the confidence" of the peo pie by his "acts or not, the result of his last canvaös as candidate for Senator is an index; If he is hot satisfied with that he had better try it again. He have not a doubt but our whole ticket was that year defeated in consequence of attempting to carry the load of Morrison. Of this matter, we may be more particular hereafter. - Clh. Morrison says he never deceived a friend in any situation in life, &c. Thb is such a broad state ment, that we shall omit a notice of it for the present, being desirous of noticing it more particularly hereafter. We would only ask if Mr. Sp-ld-g, of Ohio, was a friend or an enemy! We may find occasion to make some curious developments on this subject, Bhould circumstances force us to it. 7th. He says, "his political course" has always been candid and Open, cbntealhient being nb part of his character. He may take our boots after that! 8th. He intends to defend himself, he says, to the last extremity. That is all very proper. Even a skunk will do that But there is a vast difference between defence and attack. If he is the Democrat he professes to be, he would attack the common enemy, and not be doing all he can to sow tbe seeds of discord among the Democracy, for ho other purpose whatever, than to further Lis 6elfish ends. We 6houid suppose ihat even he had lived long enough td learn that "honesty is the best policy." At all events, he wili find that the best course to pursue hereafter; and if he is not too firmly wedded to political gambling, he should adopt it at once. He will never succeed in any other course, however he may have prospered by it in times by-gone. Political gambling, like all other gambling, has nearly reached its acme; and as sure as day succeeds night, so sure will it fall. The eyes of the people are being opened on all sides, and all attempts hereafter to play such games will most signally be detected, exposed and rebuked. 'Who Is tlie Offlee Secker 1 Morrison charges that we have been applicants for some four or five offices. This, in part, is true. After sixteen years service in the Democratic cause, we did not know that it was a crime to do so. But to the fact)4. One of us was an applicant for the State Printing, anJ got it, after he, Morrison, tried every game to chisel us out of it. The other has been a candidate for the Tost OfEce, and he was so boldly and fairly. In one of cur little corporation elections, also, he suffered his name to be used as a candidate for Councilman. Awful office-seeking, that ! Some talk was also made once about our running for the Senate; but we should like to know if a solitary 6oul in tlie district ever heard us announce ourselves as a candidate for that oiüce. We may have also often remarked that we intended one of these days to run as a candidate for President of the United States ; and we are only waiting now to see whether the good people of the U. S. would like the Old Cock to be thus honored. Were we once Oicre, we would make sad havoc among some politi cians, sureBut with what grace comes such a charge from one who has held office always when he could get it, and has been a standing applicant for sometimes half a dozen at a time ! Let us look back a moment. Morrison first came here a Representative from Clark county ; and a certain set of bastard politicians took such a fancy to him, that he never went back Since then he has held, or been an applicant for, the following offices. We don't set them down in regular order, nor do we remember whether we have got the whole. We iust 6tate them from memory. He was elected Senator ; appointed by Gov. Wallace Whig, a member of the Board of Internal Improvements, where he spent upwards of 90,000 more than he was allowed to do by la w ; and it is said, he employed men to get him contracts in their names which he was not allowed to do by law ; then Representative ; then State Printer ; candidate for Congress against the lamented Einnard ; candidate for Congress against W. J. Brown ; at which time he kicked up a very pretty fuss and cursed all hands ; candidate for State Senate ;- candidate for Auditor of State, Treasurer of State, and for State Frinter again, all at once ! candidate for Congress again ; see his letter to the committee ; candidate for tlie Tost Office ; was Assistant Secretary of the Senate candidate for Principal Secretary of the same body ; candidate for Register of Land Office, which Mr. Van Buren refused to give him, and for which Morri vn has not forgiven him had previously been a candidate for Tost Office against Capt. Cain 3 Commissioner of an Indian Treaty ; Commissioner among the Indians, commonly known as tlie Blanket Treaty ; and we don't know how many others. Is not Mr. Morrison a very modest man ! Lord help the poor people, if he is longer to ride them with boot and spur ! Dictation The Junto generally, and Slorrison's Democrat, their organ, say that we " dictate," and nothing pleases us, unless under our dictation." So far as they are Concerned, we intend to 4 dictate." If showing them up in their true colors convinces the people that they are not what they profess, be dictation, we plead guilty. But when our cotempofaries of the press, or any one of the people, make the charge, we shall examine the ground. It is only dictating to the Junto, thai we are determined to let the people Select their own servants, with their own free will and choice, of which they complain. Can't they get up a more reasonable charge one that the whole people do not know to be false ! . ' . Florida Election The Indiana Journul, and its coadjutor, the Morri son Democrat, have each announced that Cabell, the Whig candidate, as elected to Congress from the State of Florida. This attempt at crowing, no doubt equal ly satisfactory to both, proves to have been just before they got out oj the woods. We have the pleasure to announce to our readers, that Mr. Brockenbrovgh, the Democratic candidate, is elected by a handsome majority. May all coons and skunks make just such crows us the Journal and Morrison's Democrat

For three or four days past, the leading whigs of this place have been in perfect fidgets after the returns from the New Yörk elections. With their fraudulently obtained majority in Ohio, their accidental majority in Georgia, their falsely claimed majority in Florida, they fondly hoped to couple New York and New Jersey. If successful, then would they have raised their loud rejoicings and showered upon the democracy their usual taunts ! Then would the welkin ring with their songs of joy ! But alas ! they have been sadly disappointed. Circumstances which elsewhere exist have caused the New York democracy to expose and drive from their ranks tlie corrrupt and office seeking scoundrels, who have hung and will continue to hang, like a mill-stone around the neckB of the honest people of all parties, unless they are speedily exposed and put out of the way, and thus has resulted a great, glorious, and we believe, a permanent victory a victory without a parallel ! It would be well for the Democratic party everywhere to purge itself of these unclean beasts ; making them an example which shall be a warning. to all succeeding generations. Let them threaten what they please ; jet them join our opponents. What if they do ! We are not yet defeated. Thousands froai our now oppo neilts will join our standard when they see and knote our endeavors to keep our principles pure for princi ples sake. What if we are defeated ! We have principles founded on truth, and Truth crushed to earth will rise again, The eternal years of God are hers, ; While error, wounded, writhes in pain, Ahd dieS amid her worshipers."' Let, then, the whole western Democracy never sleep at their posts. Let us purge our ranks of all traitors, cowards, camp-followers for plunder, and all who are not for the CAUSE from motives of Patriotism. Imitate our New York brethren, and all will be safe.

Polk sustained TtJ'as and Oregon determined upon European Interference in American Affairs Emphatically RepudiatedThe City Carried by near 3000 Majority:, The election closed last evening. Its result is a brilliant triumph of tlie New York Democracy. The Senator, the Register and the thirteen members of the Legislature are elected by an unexpected and triumphant majority. Whiggery and Nativism are put to route. The noble policy of President Tolk as reflected in his inaugural is sustained in a quiet election by an overwhelming majority cf the votes polled. His foreign policy is sustained by the most decisive majority, and that majority is given by the people of the great Commercial Emporium of the Western Continent. We feel proud of our city. Where has there been a crisis where her sturdy Democracy have not come off victors ! When has she failed not only to originate geat measures, but to use her Herculean arm in their consummation ! We have no time to say more, and give the majorities in tlie different Wards : In a smaller vote than usually given the democratic majority will probably be near three thousand. Had the democrats polled their full Vote, as they ought to Lave done, it would no doubt be several thousands larger. The Journal of Commerce gives the following additional returns, which we condense: Kings Cocntv. The Democrats have carried their ticket in this county, by a majority probably of more than 300. Tlie precise majority we are however unable to state, not having as yet received the returns from Williamsburgh. it is supposed that the Democrats have obtained ta majority there, and rumor sets it down at about seventy. It gives for Brooklyn, a dem. majority of 252, and Williamsburgh to be heard from.

In Hudson county a Whig Senator and Assembly man are elected as usual. Jersey City gives a Whig majority of 1G9, Van Vorst 15, Harrison 103, which the remaining two towns will increase. Essex County. It is supposed the Democratic Se nator is elected. The general opinion seemed to be that Geo. Svkes. dem. was elected to Congress in the Third District. The Whig candidate was Israel K: Lippincott. Morrison names several gentleman as likely to be democratic candidates for the office of Governor and Lt. Governor, this winter.

EiZlitdnys later from Europe. The steamship Caledonia arrived at Boston un Monday, Nov. 3d. She brings London and Liverpool papers to Oct. 19. The price of grain is rising rapidly. The weather has been wretched, and large patches of uncut grain are exposed to tbe elements in the north of England and in Scotland. Damp corn enhances the price of fine wheat nd those who hold the latter calculate cm a farther rise. The money market shows symptoms of wavering t consols have declined one per cent, ar.d the value of money is higher. The iron trade is brisk, and prices advancing. The produce market, (sugar, rum, molasses, wool, coffee,) is firm, with slight advances in some articles. The American provision trade flourishes. Tlie stock of beef, pork, and cheese, is light; and the state of things in Ireland will have a tendency not only to improve prices, but to lessen competition. The cotton market is depressed ; the business transacted i limited : prices have a downward ten dency ; and holders, evidently not at easc,s!ow a desire to accept tlie current rates, and to ress their stocks. The sales of the week ending on Friday, Oct. 17, only amounted to 20,(00 bales ; and limited as this business is, it was even more restricted on the lth for not more than 1,500 to 2,0(0 bags changed hands. A thousand causes may be adduced to account fcr the present stagnation. Foremost is the 1 ail way madness. It swallows up all classes and shades in its vortex. The state of trade in the manufacturing districts does not certainly give an indication of the existing feeling in the cotton market. The yarn market is especially dull. Large quantities bad been purchased for exportation to Germany. The market for goods in Manchester and the neighborhood is also less active, and prices have receded a little they are4easier in the parlance of the trade. The woollen trade in the Yorkshire districts has also diminished somewhat in activity, but still maintains a healthy appearance. The dock yards and naval arsenals of England exhibit extraordinary activity. In many of the outports steam-frigates of the largest class have been ordered by the governnent to be ready by a fixed period, according to the contracts ; and the builders have been bouhd down in heavy penalties to have them fit for sea at the required time. Oregon is pointed at by certain oliticians as the solution of the mystery. ITIiami Kcserve. We subjoin two letters from the Commissioner of the General Land Office, one to Gov. Whitcomb, (occasioned by a letter from the Governor to tht Commissioner requesting an early survey of tbe Great Miami Reserve) and the other to tlie Surveyor General, by which our citizens, especially those residing in that vicinity, will be gratified to learn that no doubt exists of the speedy commencement and completion of that Survey. General Land Office, October 15 h, 1845. Sir Having been advised by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, that he is not aware of any leal objection to the survey of the Miami National Reservation, after the 28th November next, I have this day Bent instructions to the Surveyor General at Detroit, to have that Reservation surveyed as soon after that date as practicable ; a copy of those instructions is herewith enclosed. With great respect, Your obedient servant, JAS. SHIELDS, Commissioner. His Excellency, James Whitcomb, Governor of Indiana. General Land Office, October bth, 1345. Sir : By the Treaty of 28th November, 1S40, with the Miami tribe of Indians, it is stipulated, that these Indians shall remove to the country assigned them west of the M.s-isippi, within five years from that date, that is, by or before the 2Sth November next, after which the Commissioner of Indian Affairs states, in a letter of the 6;h instant, that he is not aware of 4,any legal objection to adopting measures for the survey of the land" ceded by them in Indiana. He further states, however, that those Indians will not be removed till next spring, and suggests the expediency of postponing those surveys till the time; but the great anxiety of the people of Indiana to have early action in the case, and the evident importance cf it to the interest of that State, have determined me to have those lands surveyed as soon as it can legally be done. -You will please, therefore, make the necessary arrangements for surveying those lands as soon after the 25th November next, as practicable, and for this duty you will engage the services of one of your most skilful and experienced deputies, and one in whose discretion and forbearance you have perfect confidence, and so instruct him that all cause of difficulty and collision with those Indians may be avoided. You will also instruct him to continue the section and township lines through the reserve, so that the work will present a regular and harmonious appearance, and irregular or ill-shaped tracts or townships be avoided. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, JAS. SHIELDS, Commissioner. L. Lton, Esq.', Surveyor General, Detroit, Michigan. IVcw Books.
