Oregon. We find the following spirited article in the Washington Union of Nov. 6. It will be most heartily responded to by the People of Indiana. We say the People, and we u-e the words in their weightiest signification. Few even of the Whig party, we believe, will oppose a prompt aci energetic assertion of American rights in Oregon and an immediate exercise of the power justly predicated on those rights. The opinion is expressed by some of the Eastern papers, that England will not admit the justice of our claims, and will forcibly resist any attempt on the part of the U. S. Government to extend its sway over the territory. We do not believe any thing of this kind. England will no doubt dispute our claims ; and will endeavor by bluster to deter our Government from any efficient action. She will of course reiterate her own pretensions tothc territory, and assert their superiority over our own. She will threaten worse even than she did about Texas. Nevertheless, we do not believe that she will dare to strike. But suppose that she should ? An embargo upon the exportation of cotton would bring her to terms in less than six ice'ks. We have a negative weapon in this, infinitely stronger than any positive one she can bring to bear against us ; one that she would not dare to encounter, and could not withstand. Would the South object to such an embargo 1 Then let our Government buy the cotton of the planters, and if nothing better could be done, burn it ! It is also said by some that Oregon will be of no proßt to us ! We do not want it for the sake of profit, but for the sake of principle. No European power, no monarchical power whatever Should be permitted to have the slightest permanent foothold upon any Dortion iustlv claimed by us. This is the feeling of the people of the Wot, as well as of ourselves. And though we abhor war as an abstract question, and to avoid its evils would resort to almost any honorable expedient, yet, if its absence is to be purchased at the expense of principle, or of the great republican policy which ought exclusively to obtain in Xorth America, then let it come, and may God assist the right ! From the Washington Union, Nov. 6. OREGON'.

As the question has been discussed for a quarter of a century between as and EnglanJ, we are not aware of one argument scarcely of one phrase purporting to be an argument which carries our t.tte up to 43 deg. and there at opt.

They became peed- ,..., , . ... , , . , liarly connected with it bv their public avowal, near eigh- religion." The reply was, that "he had none to brag teen months 150.

Let that word be spoken again by the man wnom millions of freeman have called to occupy the M great central post of the civilization of popular power." and who doubts but that the Democracy of the whole Union will repeat it with a full determination to stand by the rights of the country t When that word goes forth from the constitutional authorities of the nation, " Our right to Oregon is clear and unquestionable," who doubts that it will go through the length and breadth of the land, and tbat it will be hailed a it goes, by the Democratic party with one unanimous amen 7 And what then ? We answer this then the Democracy of this country will ttand to its word. It will not flinch. Nor will the honest, patriotic, and determined Whig flinch either. We observe that several journals are greatly occupied with rumors of a proposition submitted, or about to be aubmitted, by the English Government, that Oregon shall remain for some twenty years longer under the stipulation of 1813, in the joint occupation of the two nations, with the understanding that, at the close of the stipulated period, the Oregon colonUts may decide for themselves whether they will then exist as an independent nation, or whether they will belong to the United States or to England. A few dava ago we took occasion to show how this theory of joint occupation works in practice. We then showed that it resulteJ through the superstitious agency of the Hudson Bay Company, in the extension of English law over the whole unoccupied territory; while every measure recognising the American citizens there as our citizens, and as entitled to the protection of our laws, had been regarded in England, at lead! as violating the treaty stipulation. In our judgment, it is full time that this state of things should cease. We believe that Congress will so decree. On the sutject of the rumored proposition, to which we have alluded, we quote wiih pleasure the following just sentiments from the French journal in New York, the u Courrier des Etats Unis." Tbey ate entit'ed to the more consideration, as the sentiments of a comparatively disinterested third party; Let not the Americans," says the Courrier, " be deceived. All that England wishes, all that she aims at in presenting this proposition, is to gain time. Of what interest to her 1 a sojourn of a feto years in Oregon t What ahe desires is a permanent position on the Pacific shore of the American continent. We may rest assured tbat she will not risk the chinces of this hazardous proposition, unless she counts on the new element which the lapse of twenty years cannot fail to bring into question, and, if need be, on the weight of her gold scattered by handfu!lin Oregon, to incline in her favor the dotibfful balance of decition, when the hour of decision shall sound." How much these considerations are emphasised by the presence and agency in that region of the great corporate organization to which w have alluded, is but too manifest. We hold, with the Courrier, that such a proposition from England can be no more than a proposition to gain lime. AnJ now we say, once for all, that we know of no evi dence whatever that any such proposition has been, or will be, aubmitted by the British Government. Meantime, the question most come up in the next Congress, What shall we do in relation to our citiiens in Oregon I" AnJ we hjve no doubt that the patriotism of Congress will answer, in view of all the facts recognise them, protect them, establixh communication with them, and extend to them a participation of our own 1 an xxrciucAS oTsasxssT.

Published everv Thursday. (KrThe gall and bitterness of the following, which appears as editorial in Morrison's "Democrat," marks its paternity as clearly as the rattles of the rattle snake evince the character of thai reptile. It ia, without doubt, the progeny of James Moreison more pointed and compact, though less literally correct, than the effusions of his hopeful brother : "The arrogant impudence, the malign hatred and daring falsehoods ot the Sentinel have already reacted up4p the public mind, and it is fast sealing its fate and losing its influence. When ouch men as the Chapmans shall ire tone to public aenliment; when they shall have power to make and unmake the highest officers in the nation and the State : when they shall be privileged to attack, without rebuke, the most worthy citizens ol the State, and to defame men whose position, character and talents are ao immeasurably above them as to cause them to despise them ; then, indeed, is democracy down at tbe f'eel,, and jacabonim and venality in the ascendant. v Mat decent, respectable citizen is there who would be willing, as a citizen, to be compared with the Chapmans' What grade in decent society can they sustain? What measure of talent do they possess, or have they ever displayed, which should rank them as leaders? It is true, they wield a printing press, and they art famous as men who stop at no measure of abuse and slander if they dislike a man ; but when and where have they ever writ ten an argumentative State paper, or canvassed any im portant subject or policy. Unce in a while an able article has appeared in their columns, but we happen to know the exact paternity of most of them. We sIihII never strive to rival them in their, well established reputation as blackguard, but wo may be forced to use a cautery upon them which will m:.ke them think the feathers are loose. We wish it to bo understood, that we do not consider the Sentinel or the Chapmans the democratic party of the State and if they had treated us in a gentlemanly way, we should have observed more courtesy in speaking of tlnin. We speak but the truth." Our subscription books will make manifest the "daring falsehood" of the first sentence of this tirade of the Bank President. Nor is the evidence of the falsehood confined to those books. On every hand in this community are we receiving the congratulations of honest men, who rejoje that knavery and audacity, though it has ensconced itself under the garb of de mocracy; in high places, is at length assisting to strip and exhibit its leprous carcass to public indignation upon a pillory of its own erection. As to the ascendancy of jacobinism and venality, which it said will occur, when certain things are done by us, but little fear need be entertained. If we had been disposed to keep "democracy down at the heel," where it for years remained under the venal sway of the "Morrison family," we should Idng ago, when bribes instead of threats were the inducements they displayed, have done the evil which they now falsely impute to us. Ludicrously docs the wrath anJ excessive egotism of the Judge stick out in the questions as to "what decent, respectable citizen would, as a citizen, be willing to be compared with us;' and a$ to the "grade we sustain in decent society" ! ! ! This is a specimen, we suppose, of what is called Dank Democracy ! Be that as it may ; our grade in decent and respectable society, civil or social, is what it is ; we are neither disposed to brag, nor be ashamed of it. We are indebted for it too, even if it be above the poorest and most unfortunate portion of the commu nity, net to any factitious circumstances ; not by superciliously turning up our noses at honcster though poorer men than ourselves ; not by thrusting ourselves by din! of impudence into circles where we were equally hated and despised; not by robbing the widowand orphan of their Bcanty inheritance ; not 1 1 1 . 1 : 1 their results, should be compared With those of any or all of the "Morrison family" not even excepting the Magnus Apollo of the Royal circle, the Bank President himself. Premising that we never made ariy pretensions as "Leaders" of the people, fur the very good reason, to say nothing about talents, that we believe as little in those who generally assume to lead, as iri those who if they could would drive, let us return the compliment as well as the question of the Judge,as to the writing of "argumentative State papers" or the "canvassing of any important subjects of policy." If these are the evidences of the possession and exercise of talent, where arc the "argumentative State papers" ever written by him ? Can he show them, or make manifest their power by the ends they accomplished ! If so, "we should like to see him do it." Small a3 our pretensions really are, if we had been in public employment as long as the Judge has been ; had we been fed fjr a score of years at the public crib, and relieved from all the cares and distractions inevitably attendant upon men who work for a living, we should indeed take shame ay, great shame and con fusion to ourselves, could we show no better return for the favors lavished upon us, than he has done. And then again, if we should attempt to canvass any important subject of policy, for instance, like that of the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands, especially if wc aspired to havt a direct vote in the settlement of so important a subject bf policy, we should certainly despise ourselves as much as the inefliibly proud, haughty, and arrogant President of the State Bank can despise us, if compelled to confess before the people, as he had to do, that he had not even investigated the merits of the subject. "Once in a while," the Judge admits, "an able ar ticle has appeared in our columns," but he pretends to "know the exact paternity of most of them." This slander is as cunningly expressed as it is mean and ignoble in conception. We have only td say; that one thing is certain ; none of the "able articles" which have appeared in our paper were written by any of the Morrisons. All who know their inordinate self ishness, if even their ability be admitted, will agree that they Would never write a line or lift a finger in the cause of the Democratic party except with ari eye solely directed to their own immediate personal benefit. The Judge pretends, however, to know who did write the most of them. If he desires to escape the charge of detraction, let him name the arti cles and the authors thereof. We are perfectly wil ling that the public should know' all that he knows about it. If he fails to do this,' lec him read his own malignant effusion over again, and take its coarse revilings back to himself. As to A. F. Morrison, who adopts the slanderous

j imputations as his own, we have only to say that wt sliall at any time be proud to 6ubmit the volumes of the State Sentinel to the test of a comparison with those of trie Indiana Democrat, while the latter was tinder his control as editor, to such judges as he himself may select provided, nevertheless, that the Junto be not included, for in their estimation every manifestation of honesty in politics is regarded as a weakness and a reproach. 'The Dollars of flic Iirlr This is a phrase repeatedly used by Morrison, and it shows very plainly what is running in his head, He charges that it is because we fear a division of these said dollars, that we complain of his reviving the old Democrat. He is blinded by his own envious and avaricious temperament. It would be indeeJ j laughable, if intaant feelings were not excited by , . , , . hia ungrateful course towards the Democratic party, to hear Morrison taunt others with mercenariness. We scorn his imputation tot muh even to deny it. But this we will say : that fir every " dollar of the party we have received, he has received fifty, if not an hundred. We never obtained we never asked

for we never wanted a single dollar of our party for ' .But before we had fully derided this point in our which we did not render a full equivalent. He ha0'1 minds, re received frcra ah individual whom the obtained Thousands, and is not yet, and neicr will be Junto will not dare to impeach, a denial cf one of the satisfied. The more he has had, the more he has dc- j basest of Morrison's base imputations... It comes to 6ircd and demah'Jed. On the other hand; we have "3 'n the shape of a manuscript copy of a letter ad-

expended in the service of the party, twenty y fold more than the whole Morrison family ever did or ever uiU. We did it, however, of our own free will, and neither ask nor expect a return. Morrison pretends that he has revived the "Democrat," not only to correct our errors ar.d mistakes, but to help us advocate the Democratic cause, and for the privilege of "working at his trade".'!! WHY DID HE XOT TIIIXK OF DOIXG THIS IX 1S41 ! At that time the coast was clear; he could have had the field all to himself ; neither we, nor any body else, would hare been desirous to interfere with his perfect monopoly of the dollars of the party." No! No! A. F. Morrison was too smart to be caught in any such speculation as the publication of a Democratic paper here at that time afforded. He had too much regard for his own dollars to do any such thing ; and the shaving business, particularly in Illinois rags and State scrip, was a little more profitable, and a little mare genteel than work in g at his trade"! Oh, yes ! he was quite willing that we ßhould have the track at that time ! "The deep poverty " of our party abounded ! " The fat men had grown lean ; arid the rich men waxed poor in spirit, at least. We came, we saw, and we wont say we conquered but we will say,- what is true; that we paid off the bid debts of the " Democrat" tö the amount of eight hundred dollars for the privilege, as Morrison now has it, of working in our vocation. We went ahead worked har3, and crowed as loud as we could, not only to revive the drooping spirits bf our party, but to keep up our own. We thank Providence that we hive been successful "to a degree." And now, so far from objecting to Morrison's paper on account of the dollars of the parly, it is the last reason in the world we should think of. Wc do not care one cent how many papers he prints for the sake of " the dollars." Wc have as little objection to his getting an honest living by "working at his trade." But knowing, as we do, that he is backed and encouraged by the old Junto, for the purpose of ultimately destroying our party's confidence in us, in order to further their own selfish views; and believing that r.e and his co-ndjutors are Dtraacrats only fiom the lips outwaid, while within the- are full of tincleanncss and corruption, duty to our party and its principles demands that we should sound the alarum, so that they who do not already know him may be put upon their guard. If, after that, they are disposed to trust to his hypocritical professions, they will do it in the face of past experience and present knowledge. We at lrast shall be clear of responsibility, Whatever the mischief may be. A word more. The revival of the old Democrat, for the purpose of attempting to put us down, unless we should submit to become the tools of the Junto, has been repeatedly threatened for the last three years. If " the dollars of the party " had been our sole consideration, as they are of the Morrisons, wc could have secured thetri easily enough by pandering to their personal advancement and interest. We refused to do that, and the risk is ours. In answer to thoäe threats, we have repeatedly said, and now here publicly repeat, that Khcnexer the Democratic parly shall make it manifest to us', by authentic authority, that it is tired rf bur services, we are willing to retire frvni Vie post we occupy. Until we receive such a manifestation, we shall tndcavor to do our duty to our principles, our party, and to ourselves dollars or no dollars. ... , The Office Seeker.

One obitärHsou's Lies Xailcd. The two first articles in No. 1. of Morrison's piratical paper, are filled with the grossest falsehoods in relation tö the pretended causes which have induced him to resuscitate the "Indiana Democrat," for the purpose of endeavoring to put down the "Indiana State Sentinel." It has been a debatealle matter in out mind whether or not it would be necessary or proper, for the

EaKe 01 exP3inS m3 metiaicuy, or 01 aciena.ng our8elves for us to notice and refute his falsehoods. We ave been hair inclined to believe that our editorial course is sufficiently familiar to the people of Central, Western and bouth Western Indiana, to say the least, to make it unnecessary that we should say any thing as to the motives by which we have been influenced, and which Morrison and the Old Junto would now fain attempt to impeach. We have been inclin ed to think that' if our humble labors have resulted not unfavorably to the true interests of our party, we eauld safely trust the party itself to pass judgment upon those motives, without saying a word against ltl slandcrou imputations ol the Jvnto cr their I00I. pressed to the Editor of the "Democrat," fl for publication in that paper. Its author is D. R. Eckels, Esq., i of Tutnam county. A copy was sent to us, we suppose, for fear that Morrison would not have the honesty to give it to the public, and thus add to the evidence of his own iufamy. The statements made by Morrison, which Mr. Eckels objects to and denies, are to the effect that the Cass men in the Legislature of 1343-4, attempted to defeat our election as State Printers, and elect Mr. Eckel in consequence of previous unfair conduct on our part towards them. Now to our own knowledge', Mr. Eckels is right, so far as the friends of General Ca?S, H the legislature", were concerned .for among the Cass members, we numbered some of cur warm personal friends. But even if it were not so, and that Morrison stated the truth : his statement would be just as infamous, if true as if it were false. The purposed it Will make this manifest. Morrison's chief object in making this statement, was to endeavor to engender feelings of distrust towards us in the minds of the honest friends of Gen. Cass, who at this time is probably the first choice of Indiana among the distinguished persons yet named as successors to President Tolk. This is the chief if not the only 61h joct Morrison could have had in view in stating such a falsehood. If we or our friehds could be induced to believe such a statement, would it improve the chances for the tuccess of Gen. Cas?, Which Morrison professes to feel so much solicitude about 1 It certainly would not have had such a tendency. But what cared he for any injury, much or little, to Gen. Cass, which might result from false imputations against us 1 Nothing. His object is not so much to aid Gen. Cass, as it is to put us down. If the latter object could be accomplished by him, or if he could procure an office from President Polk, to prevent his attempts at disorganization from being continued, by buying him oft, Gen. Cas3 and his frlerida might take care of themselves, for aught that A. F. Morrison would care about them. When the trial is made, they will find it coi According to the request made by Mr. Eckels, we here publish his letter. For the lidianti Pemdcrdt . Jtfessrs. Editor's In the first number of your paper, (which you have been kind enough to send me,) I notice that my name is introduced into the controversy between the Messrs. Chapmans and yourselves. You cay that "Impudence and dishonesty are very conspicuous in the r ffiru of the Chapmans to forestall public opinion in regard to the Democrat. They well know the course of injustice which they had acted out towards several members of the Democratic family, of Indiana : They well knew the want of confidence with which the friends of Gtn. Cass viewed them and their efiort They well knew that if it had not been for the Cass men in the legislature in 1844, Mr. Eckels woulJ not have beaten them for State Printer." In anoiher article you say, "From their (Chapmans) unfair and ungenerous conduct towards the friends of Can on previous occasions) there were some peii in the legislature who posftivi-ly refused to vole for Chapmans aa State Printer, and the consequence was D. R. Eckels was elected to that office over the Chapmans." t regret tke existence of the controversy between yourselves and Ihs Messrs. Chapmans, and I intend to take no part in it further than to put. the fac s right, so far as my immediate friends and myself are concerned. The name of Mr. J. P. Chapman was withdrawn by his special request, before the Convention of the twb branches of the Central Assembly commenced balloting for State Printer. Could it therefore in strictness be said that I beat him T If this had not brcn done, I cannot underteke to say what the result would have been. But be that as it may, I have good reason to know, thai the democrats who voted for me, were not 3 you suppose, actuated by feelings growing out cf the controversy then going oo between the friends of Mr. Van Buren and Gen. Cass, or the course of the Messrs. Chapmnns towards the latter or hia friends, but by those of a purely personal character. Indeed CapL J. If. Robert?, who took an active part in that flair, was at the time, a friend to the nomination of Mr. Vau Düren, and of the whole n Umber of Cass men in the Convention, I received but three or four vote. From the eii-jletnent which subsequently prevailed, I do not wonder that you were led into this error, and I feet eohfcJent that you will take pleasure iu making the corrections in your next number. D. It. ECKELS. I 8. Since writing the above, my attention, for the Erst time, has been called by a friend, to an article in the State Sentinel of the 6ih Sept., in which the EJitors of that print any, that their "defeat for the Slate Printing was determined -upon ; and we were told, that tLe declaration was repeatedly made round the 5th judicial circuit by Judge Morrison, that a man named Eckels, who had for several years been a strong personal and political friend of ours, ha3 been pitched upon to aid in the scheme, anJ that it would and should be accomplished, let the consequences be what they might." As to what Judge Morrison may have said, or what may have been told to the editors of the Sentinel, I know nothing; but so far aa I waa concerned I knsw of no such scheme, and of course entered into none, although after the meeting of the General Assembly I was requested to be a candidate by different persons, but not by Judge Morrison or any other citizen of Marion couniyj so. far as I now recollect, nor did I Consent to be i candidate for State Printer until the result of the election of President Judge of the 7th judicial circuit was known. True, I was for seveia! years a personal and political friend of the Editors of the tnnlinel, and am ao yet, unless they choose to eon aider me otherwise. ECKELS. In his postscript Mr. Eckels refers to the use of his name by us on a former occasion, and disclaims acknowledge of the designs of the Junto iri conriexion with which we used it. We did not intend to convey the impression that he was a party to that scheme which was concocted some months before the meeting of Die Legislature; so far from it, we do riot believe he had any knowledge of it. Morrison, by the way, talks of our having been "traded" into the State Printing. We have only to observe, that eo faf aö we are cenief ne3, vre are perfectly willing that the whole Wcrld should know of all that we did, and if possible,' afl that we felt, at that session of the Legislature, if he know? Lny fhing on the subject, concerning our conduct, disreputable or dishonorable in the slightest degree whatever, we authorize bira to publish it without reserve.

HI Volume Yr.::::::sXumbcr 21 Police's Coüinitiiticntioii. We publish in cr.other column a communication from Wm. J. Teaslce. Though its coarseness and vulgarity docs not surprise us, we are eure that some 01 our. readers, ,who have not.been able to justly appreciate Mr. I'easlee trt.7 be surprised epecially when they reflect that a person of so little self-re spect, ,to say nothing of good breed in g? is the incumbent of the honorable office of President judge of the 5th J udicial Circuit of Indiana. It is one of the e ils . r 1 ... of partyism, however, for which it will be difficult perhaps, soon to find a remedy, that base men, through its influence are sometimes placed iii slations which they are only capable of disgracing. Notwithstanding the tender of our columns of which he speaks in the beginning of his communication, and which, by the way is the only respectable part of it we should have been justified, perhaps, in refusing to defile our columns with Mr. Feaslee's despumation, by virtue of the standing rule of all editors, which demands the observance in some degree of the rules of common J decency and civility. , But in addition to the disposition, to esop Jilni froni a reort to the clap-trap ! cry of a refusal to hear him in his own defence, 'did we refuse to give place to his wordy conglomj cration of impotent wrath, we desire to let our readers see, by testimony under his own hand, hinv exactly and justly we described him when we said of him in chapter X. of the Mysteries: "Though a Judge, so lar as learning goes, either in law or literature, he is not above mediocrity: hia tal ' . . i b. : j j vuvy uru u:i u. pa.r wiiii ms arrpuirnntms, ana wouia not be more than sufficient for a fourth rate country editor." This is the harshest thing we have said of rcaslre and it was said, not maliciously, but merely to de- ! scribe him truly and justly. ILs own communication will satisfy every intelligent ,reader of the truth of , our esumauon 01 me man, ana suosianuaie most iuily thus, much of the articles of which he complains. We do not see that Mr. P's communication, lengthy as it is, calls for any further comment from us. lie pleads Not Guilty, to statements we have made id relation to him : which of course was to be expected. But it is all mere general denial, without argument and without proof. Its personal abuse of us is not worthy of our notice. It may go for wh at it will fetch. But wc have this tniich tri say in conclusion. Mr. Teaslec must be a little more economical in the use of words, and learn to express himself a little more concisely, if he expects us to print h!s communications. We are not in the habit of giving the same statements iri a. dozer! different forms of expression in the same article, nor can we afford him space enough to do itl Fwobm in our columns is rather too valuable to be wasted in that way. And, if it would be just as agreeable to him, we would beg leave respectfully to suggest the propriety of his restraining himself, as much as is convenient, in the use of abusive epithets, until the conclusion of his lucubrations; on condition of which, we will theri. agree perhaps, to print them fur him iri ah " extra" which he can distribute for his own benefit when and how he pleases. "W hat can be Done. In several counties of the State our friends have manfully seconded our appeal Tor ila increase of subscribers. To them all, we tender our heartfelt thanks. To be enabled to continue the paper at the prcssnt greatly reduced terras, however, we ought to have a much larger list than at present. Judging from the few last weeks, we think we shall get it.

Long may her truly democratic sons continue in the faith. She is seading us subscribers almost daily. Wc. take the liberty of appending tlie following extract frotd letters received since our last) as the most convenient acknowledgment. Si-enter, Nov. 10th, 1345. Messrs. G. A. & J. P. Chapman t I have raised a subscription of $13 00 for the purpose of getting ten uumberä of the Indiana" State Sentinel. Direct the papers to the following persons all at Spencer P. O., Owen county, Ind. Here follows the nnme6. We have been very remiss in this .county in taking Political news; but I am in hopes we shall dd better hereafter. I have no doubt but your paper will meet the expectations of the present subscribers, and if so, the most of us will continue our subscriptions. I will use my best efforts to get as many more as I can. Yours, &c. W. M. F. t TrRb', iov. 8th, 1845. ; .Dear Sirs: I have obtained thirty-one subscribers' to the Sentinel and citdo.se to you thirty-one dollars according to your advertisement. Here follows the names. Yours; J. C. Our friend C. will observe that we have complied with his suggestion; Th us goes on the good work. AVIiig ."Morality; The People's" Press, a whig paper published at Crawfbrdsyille, has the following relative to the election of a United States Senator : . Our advice would be, that; in order to retaliate upon the Locos for their rascality in refusing to go into an election last winter, that the Whigs if they cannot prevent the selection of a Loco foco in any other fair way resign their seats, and return to their respective homes. t. . We need not utter one word of comment on stich. a revolutionary, if net scoundrelly," sentiment as the above. It must meet with a withering rebuke from the honest of all parties. But we desire to ask if a Senator häd been elected last year, if he woiild not have held or taken his saat iri direct violation of the Ccris'titution of the United States, the Supreme Law of the land I Will he do it f - Judge FcasJce informed the people some months since, that he intended to resign his seat on the bench on account of his health. Why don't he do bo! Or was it allawiwion, for ejftet Mark this. He will not resign until he gets a chance, for abetter tff.ee; and we don't believe he ever intended to do so. It Would be gratifying to many, and some think, it would further the ends of justice, if he would perform his promises. OrWe regret very nitich that the letter of Col. Pepper, together with some comments upon it, was excluded from our columns this week, in order to accomodate Judge Teaslee. The communication of the latter is such a beautiful specimen of belles-lettres, that we are sure the Colonel will forgive- us the delay in accommodating him.

irticat .Mills Cooper, Vc The Madison Courier of the 1st inst. esyt, "th shipment of wheat from this place to points above ua on the river, amounts ... to something over one thousand bushels daily." And that paper also regrets, very properly, that such is the fact, and that the wheat is not manufactured in that city. Such is the case here. We have not one half miUs enough in this section of the State. There is. more

over, plenty of water power to be had ; and situated as is Central Indiana, in one of the finest wheat growing countries in the world, it is indeed wonder ful that enterprising persons cannot be found who will take advantage of these circumstances. We are nowsending away, as we are informed by those who ought to be good judges, more than half of our surplus wheat. This gues to other points, where it is manufactured at a profit which might as well be kept at home. Our mills are incompetent to manufacture the whole ; and even what they do mauufacture, they cm hardly get to market, for want of barrels. And this 'eads us to say, that we should have a large number of coopers in addition to what we have at present. Such being the facts now, what will be the case in less than two years hence, when population, business, and their consequent products will unauestionabW hu doubled by the completion of the railroad ! We will only add, that wc hope to see new mills erected as soon as may be. We desire to see the number of our mechanics, especially coopers and carpenters, largely increased, with plenty of work. We desire to see energetic men of capital go aliead in these matters, and the rest follows as a consequence. Who makes the first start 1 Central Canal South. A call is made in the Martinsville Journal fur & meeting of the citizens of Morgan County, on Saturday, Nov. 22, at the Martinsville Court House, to take measures to secure the completion of the Central Canal from the Elufis to Martinsville. The successful accomplishment of the work contemplated would be of much benefit to the people in the region of Morgan county, and we t-hould witness it with a great deal of pleasured Grand Editorial Convention. The Tippecanoe Journal proposes an Editorial Convention, without respect to party, to be holden at Indianapolis about the time proposed for the State Conventions, whig and democratic, and editors of both parties have also proposed to.. hold separate Conventions about the same time. The Journal gives tome good reasons for its proposition, and we second tho motion with all our hearts. IVew Jersey. , We have the complete returns of the New Jersey election, which show a lare Democratic gain. Last year the Whig majority oh joint ballot was 29. Thia year it is only 9. . Orie more trial, brother Democrats, arid you can carry the tate. TVe have also gained, as stated in a former paper, a member of Congress. Michigan. This State has gone largely Democratic. Felch, the regular Democratic nominee, is elected Governor! Gcti. Cass". The Democracy of Rush, Ocjiinty, as will be seen in another column, declare their ctiong preference for Gen. Cass as the next Presidential candidate. This is the right way to begin those things. Let the People take the initiatory steps , and let politicians act in. accordance with the people's sovereign will. We hepe that every County Convention will make a similar demonstration, and not leave the question to be settled by intriguers and office-seekers. Ixdiana Senator. The friends of the Hon. John Law are urging his claims for the U. S. Senate. It is said he has several determined friends who will adhere strongly to his interests. Morrison's Paper. What is the meaning of the last sentence of the above 1 It has been supposed to mean more than i says. Be this as it may, we have no more doubt that Judjre Law's course will be as high-minded and honorable as that of any other candidate named, than we have that he would do as much credit to the State in .he capacity of Senator, as any other man! Emigrants in Texas. Vessels are arriving and emigrants flowing into Texas in great i umbers. The Galveston News notices the arrival of the brig Hershel, Capt Lamk'e, direct from Bremen, having left that place the 21th August. She brings 140 passengers, as emigrants for the Fisher and Miller's grant. The brig Arminius, Capt. Otto, arrived from the same, from which she sailed the 28th of August. She brings about the same number ofmigrants, also for the colouy cf Fisher tin J Miller. 07-Morfison makes numerous promises about how democratic be is going to be hereafter. We hope it will prore true. But we recollect that Gen. Harrison once said, and truly, if he was a whiff, that they who make the most promise's tell the roost lies." Morrison is too cunning net to know, that to succeed iu his schemes, he must profess to be a thorough-going democrat. He could not otherwise do a thing. ProhibItion of German American Pafers in Germanv. By an official publication of the Secretary of State of the U. S., we learn that official information has been received that, by a resolution of the German Diet at Frankfurt, all newspapers or periodi cals in the German languige, printed in the United States of America, are prohibited in the German confederacy ; arid all postmasters in that country are directed not to deliver any such newspaper or periodical coining from the United States but to send all such back to the port at which they have been landed in Europe. Morrison admits that he was a Conservative in 1837-9 ; but says he was a Van Düren conservative. Mr. Van Buren will certainly smile when he aces this. Tliis is about equal to "Democratic Whig." It is in truth what Morrison has always been. A4 we ExrECTED. The Indiana Journal and the Louisville Journal both endorse Morrison's democracy. We expected they would do so. We expect it from every Whig press which knows him. Our readers shall occasionally see in what light he is regarded by our opponents, the v hlgs. QThe Indianapolis Sentinel contains what purports to be " the history of a pound of cotton." Cannot Chapman write the history of the acorn, that produced the tree, that produced the limb, that produced the cudgel, that once fell on his shouldcrs! LouuxiUe Journal. No, we cannot, because such a thing never happened. But we might " write the history of the acorn, that produced the tree, thit produced the rail," on which a Kentucky whig editor was ridden lout of Connecticut for an " unfortunate affair" with a colored wench; which occurred when he was half drunk. CnrEL. The whig papers' generafy are down like a thousand of brick on their redoubtable oia leader SoLn Robinson, for writing to the Tribune that the Hoosicrs are ä set of scoundrels and don't intend to pay their debts. &J.cs the old codger right. PorcxATioN cV Boston. By a census just taken, it appears that . 'he popufation of Boston amounts to 115 000 inhabitants. In 1540, it was C3.33S. Showing an increase of near 25 per cent, in five years.
