We shall lay on the tables of the members of the General Assembly, this number of the Tri-Weekly State Sentinel. To all, and particularly to heretofore members, we would Bay, that our arrangements are probably better this year than ever before, to give complete and accurate reports. These will necessarily be much more full and comprehensive'than can be given in the Weekly papers. We have also, at more expense than circumstances woulj warrant, employed Reporters at Washington City, who will regu'arly and constantly keep us advised, by letters, of the earliest transactions of each and every department of the General Government. This has long been a desire of our3, not only to make our paper more interesting to the people generally, an J to their representatives in particular ; and we have " strained a nercz" to accomplish it. It shall be done; and what we have promised shall always be fulfilled, cost what it may. Then our expenses arc great in endeavoring to do, (and what we have accomplished,) them:iking of full and regular daily reports of our own Legislature, and placing them before the members even almost as soon as the ink was dry which recorded them. Too many of the present members of the Legislature have tested the usefulness of this matter, and its importance, not to estimate it truly. It3 benefit to members and to their constituents, need not to be reiterated here. Each intelligent mind will survey them at a glance. We would again publish a D.iVy, but we deem it much less beaerk-iary either to members or their constituents. In publishing a Tri-W'ekly, we have chosen the days on which every Tri-Weekly, as well as Daily mail, leaves. We have a fow hours additional to see that our reports are correctly and properly made out. Then the postage to those to whjm they are sent, is only onc-haf of that of a Daily, an item iu these hard time3 not to to " sneezed at," while the recipient gets more matter than he otherwise could. These, however, are but small matters, and only business ones. If the members cf the Legislature should like the Sentinel well enough, we hope they will subscribe "for it. If not, it is none of our business, and many of their constituents, unless they happen to be subscribers, will never hear frcm them. Alle Coiiaily Co:iveutio:i. We would call attention to the proceedings of the 1 Allen County Convention, and particularly to the resolution respecting tho appointment of a State Central Committee. We second the views of the resolution with all our heart; became on the prompt and efficient acti m of that Committee-a great deal depends. They should be men of energy, judgment and perseverance men who will o:i no occasion shrink from their duty ; and who will di their utmost, in 83ason and out of season, to farther the Democratic cause. We are led aho to notice it for another reason. Soma two years since, the senior cd.tor of this paper was a member of said committee. He found it a'tcays next to impossible to ever obtain a meeting of the committee, although he ofken waited on each member personally, and solicited their action and advice. Not more than one or U o forced meetings were hell during that year. They would nearly all say, What is the meeting for 1 " Sec. &c. When informed, they would sayj 44 go ahead ! it is all right ; I will sanction it." The business would bo attended to so far as we were concerned; and our friends may recollect whether we did not do our part faithfully. The whole burden of tlie labor, anl every cent of the expenses ichlch tcere neither light nor small fell titirtly on its. But we do not grumbla at this. We hid put our hand to the plough, and were determined not to look back. Hence it was, also, that Morrison used to range about, continually spouting -4 George Chapman is the whole Central Committee." - We refused to have our name again used in that connection, for various reasons. On finding the complexion of the Committee of the la3t year, however, the junior did consent to take his turn at the oar. We see this year but little difference in the action of the committee. In short, it is necessary to have on such a committee, as we before said, active, business men men who will not back oul for fear it will cost them a dime. It costs- money to do up the business properly ; and those should be appointed who will work and piy. Let us have no more of those who gel themselves appointed merely to keep their names conspicuously before those who have oiFices to bestow. Much better men can be found among the laboring mechanics of our city, or any where else. Let us have a working, not a gambling committee. - fjT- Directors of the Indianapolis branch of the Indiana State Bank were elected a few days ago Six of the ten are Locofocos. Nevertheless, jf the concern go to the devil, all the blame will be charged upon the Whigs. LouisxiUa Journal. No doubt about it ; and several other Whig papers have said about the same thing. Hats, it is said, de sert a sinking ship ; and we are sorry to see some of our best Democrats inveigled into these bank nets. By-the-bye, the Journal is not the only Whig paper which has already begun to ring the changes upon the State Eank being in the hands of Democrats. They mean to be ahead if possible; but we tell them the Democratic party doubts the purity of ttiose whom the Whigs are willing to use, and who, if they sec the consequences, are no better than Whigs themselves. We raise our voice againUhe State Dunk of Indiana a being a 44 Democratic concern." Lot Democrat beware the Internal Improvement System should be as a finger board of warning. When the Bank sinks, like its ally, let it not be hereafter eaid, that it is a Democratic Eank, and sunk under the ' management of Democrats. Again, we say, Ecware! Death of De. Peytox of Tews. The Nashville Banner announces the death of Dr. Joseph II. Feyton, the member elect from that district to Congrcs?. Dr. Peyton had served in the Senate of the State Legislature with much ability, and was elected to Congress by the Whigs in 1343.

I Published every Thursday. Shir, riastcrs. j We are gUd to sec the manly stand token by the true Democratic papers against the further issue of shin plasters by the State Kan!-:. The Greencastle Patriot has the following remarks in reply to tho Wabash 1 Courier, a rhin plaster Whig concern : J ' No, the pe.;le of the State are not willing that the email bills cf the Banks cf other States or cf this'' .State shall longer be indulged, nor will such be the effect of refusing the demands of the State Tank for a permanent privilege of issuing its shin plasters." The same logic used ly the Courier, was used by the Bank to obtain this boon, and will lose none of its ftrce, if any it ever had, for a hundred years to come. Ohio authorizes her L'anks to Lsuc small b;l!i, and to remedy that evil, Indiana mut give her Bank the same privilege, and so with Kentucky, Illinois, &Cs Now according to this Dank logic, when can the people remedy this evil ! Not until all Dank charters , expire at once, and every State in the Union will commence the reform and carry it out together, which as the Eankitcs very well know, can never happen. ; The effect of the small note circulation is to drive specie out of circulation and indemnify the Eank to a ' great extent against the return of her promises to pay. ' They will not expel the small notes of other S;ates. 1 What sort of magic has Indiana one's that five's have not in fxptdling the emissions of the Kentucky or : Ohio Danks ! It must be, if at all, owing cither to j their denomination, or the ir quality cs a circulation. ' If bills of the value of five dollars cannot expel bills of the value of cue dollar, how can bills of fi:;r-f.fi!i the value do it ? Is it because they occupy a diifcrent cl.nimel in their circulation 1 If this bri true, why will not rilvcr drive them out jut cs well 1 j But how is it that the Lank advocates contend that we must 44 do evil that good may come of it 1" If ti e small notes of the other States are not an evil, why want to expel them ! If they arc an evil why want j to add to it by doing evil ourselves ! Dut adding our wrongs to the wrongs of Ohio and Kentucky, will no , more cure them, than if a firmer should turn his own hogs into his corn field to drive his neighbors out and j thereby save his crop. The truth is, it won't do it. It is a project to enable the Hankers to make more money for themselves, instead of beneflttiusr the neotde. i The Devil has just about as much care for holy water, as Cankers have for any one's interest but their own. What became of the S-ate Eank scrip intended as a relief to the people 1 Let the advocates of Dank monopolies anver. Dut we will see how many Softs there are in our next Legislature. Cp We observe that tho following paragraph is copied into Ohio Paper, accrcd.ted to the Indium Dainty; rat. 11 This credit is erro:icou3 : The article j originated with the 44 Western Democrat," published j at New Albany, and not with the " Indiana Demo- j erat," published at Indianapolis. There is as much ; ditllrence between the two in regard to L'anking, as there is between chalk and cheese. The "Indiana Democrat" is a B.mk paper; the New Albany Demo- j erat, is strongly anti-Bank. Let us render unto every j man according unto hi.s ways. The Defeat of tiii: Omo Democracy. The fact, t must stare every one in the face, who is at all acquainted with the late erntest in Ohio, that the Democracy defeated themselves. There is, iu that, as well as in all other States, a class of js:uda Democrats, who go with the party just as far as it is to their interest so to do ; and whenever the Democracy have a contest with monied or other corporations, they arc certain to find these pocket Democrats either fighting openly m the ranks cf the enemy, or what is still worse, acting the part of the spy, and secretly plotting treason in our camp. This always has been iirj case, it was so wuen i;ie oairiui jaiiisua piaceu 1 his iron bet! upon the neck of the monster ; and it will ; al ic ays be so, unless the Democracy take the necessa ry and correct steps to put an end to xt. And this j can be accomplished in one way only. Let the Democracy, whenever and wherever they may find such ! men, place the mark of tsauok upon their foreheads, and send them branded from our ranks. We repeat, the Democracy of Ohio in their recent contest with the liur.hs of that State dfftated themselves. It was accomplished by these 4' things " called 44 Daxk Democrats." Let the Democracy of that State now go to work and mark all such traitors. Let them be ! hurled frem the party whose name they have dishonored and disgraced, and seek places among their Federal Whig allies, where they rightly belong. Out with them, you will profit by their absence. We would rather suilcr tea defeats than one triumph with such men. . The editor cf the Nashville Union says he has received full and entire confirmation of the fact that 2ilr. Turncy, prior to his election to the Senate, made important concessions to the Whigs. The fac't of his election, is prima facie evidence of the truth of the statement. Nevertheless, we see that several democratic papers are endeavoring to u-hileicash tlie traitor. This is but offering a premium for similar vileness on the part of others. We believe that a man who is base enough to betray his party and its principles once, will do it twice. If w? are cheated once, it is the fault of him who cheats ; if ttcice, it is our oxn. Brand all traitors brand thein ! That's the only way to put a stop to barefaced villany, at least. Naval Apprentice system. It is stated in the New York papers that the Secretary of the Navy has ordered the immediate discontinuance of the Naval apprentice system. We strongly hope that there may be some mistake in the statement. The system is regarded with great favor by the public, especially as its tendency was thought to be much more democratic, or more iu harmony with republican'institutions, than the system before prevalent, and which was borrowed from England. Before we saw the report of its discontinuance, we did not know that a single cause of complaint existed against the new system ; and wc repeat the hope, that the report may prove unfouuded. WuiGGEEr. Democratic Governors generally recommend a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to Almighty God for his care and various mercies. Whig Governors as generally appoint such a day. We should like to know where they get this power of appointment. Cut to show British Whiggery in its true gorb, it is only necessary to read tho proclamation of his Transcendental Excellency, Lord W. W. Seaton, A. S. S., the Grand Lord Mayor of Washington City. He goes the whole swine, and not only appoints the day, but absolutely enjoins it upon erery one to observe it ! Whiggery's foot will stick out, even in serving the Lord. CKThe Newcastle Courier, one of the meanest and bitterest Whig papers in this State, naturally enough, like most of the Whig papers, takes sides in favor of .Morrison's Bank Democrat. - Wc have no objections to this ; have no right to expect any thing else : have lammed the Whigs too hard to deserve any thing better. But the Courier ought not to degrade itself so much as to fdU'ify so grosely as it does in favor of its Conser ratr?-Bank-Democratic friend. may be suspected ! Mississippi U. S. Ssxatok. The Hon. Joseph W. Chain ers, of Marshall county, Miss., has been appointed by the Governor, Senator in Congress, vice Hon. Jacob Thompson, who declined the appointment. Morrison, and tho whole Royal Family, are out in favor of, and in the Bank. Is Morrison promised his quid pro quo, in ehapo of a settlement, or otherwise !

INDIANAPOLIS, DECEMBER 1, 1845.

Execution of ths Longs and Young. From the "Upper ilisissippian" extra, of the 29th ult., we learn that John and Aaron Long ar.d Granville Young suffered the "death punishment" on that day, for the murder of Col. Davcuport. Speeches -were made ty each. John Long acknowledged his guilt, but asserted the innocence of Venn? and Aaron Long. The Chicago Daily News gives an account of the execution. The following is the concluding part of the horrible details : ' After Long had closed, he returned to his seat, and after consulting the other prisoners, returned and Etated that it was their dyirg request that their Lcdies be given to their friends, and not to the physicians. 3Ir. Gatchell now stepped forward and offered up a short and appropriate prayer; after which Mr. IIa ncy read a Psalm. The prisoners now severally shook hands with those on the scaffold and with each other, Aaron Long and Young nearly overcome with emotion, John quite calm and collected. The Sheriff bound their arm?, put the rope round their necks, drew the caps over their faces, and led them forward upon the drop. Taking the a.o, he severed tho rope at one blow, and down went the drop, letting them fall a dis tance of four feet. But now remained a scene most revolting to behold, and most horrible to describe. The middle rope broke, letting Aaron Long fall, striking his back on the beam below, and lying insensible from the strangling caused by the rope before it broke. For a moment not a human being moved, all were horrified and seemed riveiUd to their place?. Soon, however, the officers descended and l.ftcd him up, when he recovered his senses, and was again leJ upon the galljws, suffering intensely, raising his bands and crying out, "The Lord have mercy on me ! You arc hanging t.n innocent man, and (pointing to his brother,) there hangs my poor brother !" But alas! he heeded him not. lie was already beyond his sympathy he was left alone to endure the dreadful sight of his brother's last agonies, and once more to pass through the dreadful sceue the rope the platform the axe. I shall never forget the appearance of that man as he sat upon the bench ; a large bloody streak about his neck, his body trembhng all over, whil? preparations were makiig fr the riual fall. Dut there was another act in the drama. As he was ascending the gallows, signs cf an outbreak among the crowd were evident. Sme cried, "That's enough let him go," while others gave expressions to their horror. Just at this moment some cry was raised in a remote part cf the crowd ; no one knew what it was ornc were frightened one wing if the guard retreated towards the gallows the tumult increased a sudden panic seized the immense crowd, and they all lied precipitately from the place. The guard were with ditliculty brought in their pi ices; the crowd returned, and soon ell was quiet, every one ashamed of himself for having been frightened at nothing. One wagon was found upset, but it was supposed to be the effect, and not the cause ef the panic. The wretched victim of the law was at length despatched, and the crowd di?persed. Thus cinkd the first execution that I ever witnessed, and God grant that it may bo the last. John Daxtcr was convicted and sentenced to be hu:;g on the 13th instant fur the same murder. Pulling. A neighbor sends us the following anecdote about Morrison. It is a pretty good joke to say the least . Messrs. Elitors : Morrison says he has "never been iu the habit of pnjjing every new concern that would give him a knife, a plug of tobacco or a pound of candies, as some other folks have done," fee. If this be true he has changed his habits very much within a few years, os the follow ing fact will prove. While formerly editor of the "Democrat," he purchased a. hog of. Billy Kengan, ar-d ttrery laTge hog it was, at about two prices. But as usual with him about every thing, he wanted to turn it to personal account in the matter of public notoriety. So he proposed to Billy to say nolhing about selling the hog, but let it be understood that it was given as a present. In his next paper Morrison came out in a flaming pujf about the splendid hog which had been presented to him (as a great man, of course,) by 'Squire Reagan. This was a little too fat for any body to believe about these diggins : but Tom Dowlin-f beDO C lieved it, and cracked a severe joke on Aleck about the appropriateness of the supposed present. QVI2. Gulzar, or llic ISosc Bower. This poem, tranlated from the Tersian, by John S. Heid, Esq., is now ready fir sale and delivery. It may be had at Turner's, or at this office. We would respectfully call the attention of the subscribers particularly to the above fact, as the de mand may, in all probability, exceed the supply, and many may be obliged to wait for a new edition, which cannot be completed till spring. We will hereafter notice the work and the critical remarks of ths press and others thereon. So far as it has been examined, but one opinion, and that of approbation, has been heard. Get it soon. QjIn a letter from Mr. Van Buren, dated October 20, 13 1'3, and addressed to the Democracy of Bradford county, Pa., in reply to complimentary resolutions in his favor, occurs tlie following passage. 44 1 feel that I may well pride myself in receiving at such hands, expressions of approbation of my public conduct and confidence in my political principles like those they have been pleased to make. Coming from those who like myself, have all their lives supported the same principles, and who still continue to do bo with unabated zeal, they are doubly valuable. I beg the Democracy of Bradford to be assured that I so regard them, aud that as such proofs of the confidence and esteem of my fellow Citizens, is for the future the only, so is it a most ample reward for whatever service it may have been in my power to render our common Country. Folly Bodine. The trial tf this woman has been again resumed in New Yrk. She was indicted a year or two ago, for alleged murder and arson, the victim being a family connexion of her cwn. But such is the prevalent spirit in opposition to the death punishment, that it has been impossible thus far to bring the trial to a close. As the case stood at the last dates, 21G0 jurors had been summoned, t)'J3 cf whom had been examined, 11 challenged peremptorily, and only 9 sworn. .An order was issued to the Sheriff to summon additional jurors. Morrison tries very hard to get over his own selfconvicted lies, but makes a miserable failure. lie alludes to Courts of Justice, and the testimony of witnesses. Did he ever hear of a person voluntarily offering his services to report a capital trial, that he might pervert the evidence to assist his brother m obtaining a conviction, v hereon, perhaps, his fee depended 1 Great Tires. There have been extensive fires at Sag Harber, L. I., and at Chillicothc, O. Loss at the former place estimated' at $150,( 00. We 'have seen no estimate of the loss at the latter, but it must be very large. The Charleston Evening News of the loth, says it is rumored that Hon. Daniel . Iluger has resigned his seat in tlie U. S. Senate, and that it is the genernl expectation and belief that Mr. Calhoun will be his successor.

coi:islspoe.ce. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 10, 1943. Dear Sirs: I see thatyour honest and true hearted Democrats are pestered with a Uech which is dubbed the Indiana Democrat," and from the few numbers that I have seen, it bids fair to be an aide advocate of the Federal party under the garb of Democracy. Tii is is to be regretted ; but since it has been started, the Democracy will be obliged totrcatit as they would a regular Federal sheet. It is always to be expected that when a Democratic paper dares to deuounce tho infamy of swindling bankers, it must incur the dis

pleasure of some v. ho have attached themselves to the Democratic party for the rent purpose cf giving them an influence in that party which they may use at! pleasure to sell Ui3 party which thev disgrace, into the hands of Federalism. Such, it is believed, is the object cf the concern above named ; and it is to be hoped that the true Democracy cf your growing Deme?cratic State will frown it down in the bud. It is invariably the case, that as scon as the Federal leaders damn their own porty and lose po wer, they set their snares for some weak-minded and ccrri'pt Demccrats, to help them in their iniquity and too of;en succeed in accomplishing their desperate designs. . Indiana has fince 1S4U succeeded in annihilating a FeJeral iiiaioritr of 13.0CO. a result almost incrrdible, and placing tlie Democracy triumphantly, and I nop?, permanently, in the ascendant. Sj.e is now looked to as one of the permanent pillars of the Demo cratic party. Uns glorious result has teen brought about by her politicians taking hih grounds upon all questions connected with corporations, and with such men as Wiiitccjif, Owen ard ethers too numerous to mention in my present limits, there can be no doubt but that the Democratic party will remain in the majority. But, sir, if the Democracy tolerate minions of the Indiana Bank to assume the leacership of their party, the people will soon get disgusted and leave the old j-hip to its fate. Whenever these men get the control of the press and pive tone to the party, the party lines soon begin to fade and it is then di'ihcult to tell which is the real Democratic party; for there is but little difference between Bank Democrats ar.d Bank Federalists. Beth are goverened by the sr.me motives. They .sojn lose sight of the principles of the party, ty their love for the almighty "rag dollars." They are unsafe pilots, and if they are tolerated at tho helm, it will make a Federal State of Indiana much sooner than the Federal leaders proper could pofsibly do it. The 44 State Sentinel" has guided the party through a desj-erate and doubtful conflict. It has acquired a reputation fhr independence, fearlessness and true devotion to the party seldom equalled end never excelled ; and now that the party in your noble State bate gloriously triumphed, and the cohorts of l edc ralism vanquished, the allies of the prostrate party v.iso io a: suuic mc ioau, to aa:n surrender it up in:o i the hands of those who have ju-t been mc.de t bite the dust. Fear not ! a virtuous and magnanimous party, as I believe the Dcnvcracy cf Indiana to be, never Will tolerate it. The falsely called "Democrat" may convince people that you are not the first 44 crowing" Chapman; but it will find trouble to convince them that you are not a true Democratic Chapman. Your friend, Jd. NonLEsviLLE, JCov. 5, 1815. JILssrs. Chnpmanr: The new pacr, (the Morrison 44 Democrat,") has created no division in the ranks of the Democracy in this county yet, nor do I think it will; but we are sorry to see it so generally the case, that when a Democrat becomes connected with the Dank as Director, Cashier, President, or otherwise, lie soon becomes dissatisfied with his party, and-begins to find fault. He becomes altered in his feelings and views, and pretends for a while that the party has changed, and not him ; but the first thing wjiiWiU Ihey &ra.afuUr-housed in the Wliig ranks. Iii is, we think, will be the case with some of the disvrganizrrs connected With tlie new paper. The new paper is very favorably received by the Whigs here ; they think it an important acquisition to their ranks. Yours, &.C, J. No doubt of all you ay, friend J. Eul it is not generally understood that the larger portion of the Royal Family are in the Eank. Many think that the President of the State Bank is the only one thus connected ; but another member is a Director in this Brandl, a.d pulls various wires to get out the President of tlie Lrunch and get himself iu. Then, of course, the whole succession will be provided for. Who touches pitch and is not defiled 1 A. F. Morrison is in the Bank; also, but in a different shape from his brothers. The? are in it ; he is into it. Messus. CiiArMANs : I could not but smile to read the pathetic note of C. D. in the last "Democrat." He talks abjut old times, when he and the Morrisons used to rule the roast in our partyt end sighs terribly over the departed flesh-pots of Dgypt. It is laugha ble to hear him talk about defending and sustaining the hopteless prospects of the democratic party. They did do this sure. For while they had the management, the prospects of our party continued invariably hopeless. It is worth a hearty gujfaxc, ahso, to hear him talk of fighting for principles and not for spoils .'!.' I should like to know if it is not a notorious fact that the Jlonison family was aJtcays in office under tlie Whig dynasty ! Every body knows it was so. And the reason was, they always sold our party to the Whigs. They may now talk about 44 old Jackson blood;" but nobody will be gulled by such pretensions. E. F.

If a justice of the peace issue a Stats warrant on an informal und insufficient tftiJjvjr, and the accused person, on bring arrested, put himself oil trial before the justice wi bout objection, the proceedings afterward are not coram non judice, und void : and it is slanderous to charge a witness sworn on such trial with false swearing. A justice of the peace is authorized to try, and pass sentence upon, a person accused of disturbing a lawful assembly. If a witness mke a fdse statement, but afterwards correct it, to tbat bis testimony is ultimately consistent with truth, he is not guilty of perjury t and it is slanderous to charge Lim unqua'ifiedly wiiti false swearing in reference to that sta'ement.

If two perons exchange hftrses, with ihe privilege to one party to return the horse received lj him, within given time, and be fail to return it in that time, the contract becomes absolute, ar.d each party is the unconditional owner of the property received in exchange. If, in such exchange, one of the horses be warranted, a breach of the warranty does not annul the contract of sale, ar.d reinvest the proerty of the respective horses in their original owners. The vendor of goods on w hom a fraud has been committed by the vei dee, cannot mate the contract of sale as a nuhty, while he willingly ho!Js in bis own hands, a valuable roiiiJetalhu received by him for the goods. A party having tight to rtt-cind a contract must exercise bis right within a reasonable lime. An execution bind the personal property of the execution defendant from the time of its delivery to the officer, though the i'tlker fiils to eudoise upon it the time when he received it. A and IS exchange horses; af'erthe exchange, an execution agiinst it is delivered to an t.tficer, after which A and D re -exchange the horses, the officer levies the execution upon both horses, as the property f A. The lien of the execution upon Ihe property originally owned by U, but belonging to A, at the time the idhVcr received the execution, is relinquished by the ley upon the property originally owned by A, and by him received back again by thö re-exchange.

A voluntary conveyance of real estate is nt voiJ as to subsequent creditors, merely because the grauter was indebted 2o or 30 at date of the deed. After such deed, the grantor contracted a debt for which judgment was obtained before the deed was recorded. Subsequently to recording the deed, (which was not recorded in time.) the land was sold under mi execution on fi d j adgment. HelJ, that ihe purchaser havirg notice by the record of tbe prior deed, look nothing by the purchase. A husband raiinot convey land immediately to his wife, but be may convey it to trustees for her use. Under the Statute, a bona Jide conveyance of real estate, whether fur couxidtralion or not, passes, prima facie, the grantor's interest in the premises, and the possession to the grantor.

Indiana Patriot. D. K. Eckels, Esq. has again assumed the editorial conduct of tho Indiana Patriot. He has been its main editor, however, heretofore ; and we judge its' prospects are brightening. We hope to cee it continue to battle the common enemy.

Iii.1i:uia Democrat. . This b the title of a new democratic (!) paper, juat started in Indianapolis edited by Morrison &. Co. A paper gotten up in the same spirit which thi ono has, fLould neither receive the countenance or fupport of houet men. We never heard of a democratic paper beiugr established f the purpose of diractangand dividing the democratic party. We never heard of a democratic CaDCr. which l.ii.r'lw nrr,V.ec IV.trvif-

cy, and at the Barn tmi w as endeavoring to break Uat party down. We should think suc democracy had a streng resemblance to democratic country. Another reasou adduced wbv this paper Was established, is because Chapman Lad the manly independence to deny Morrison &. Co., the ripht ! of controlImg the columns of the Sentinel. Tbat diepoBitkm, : which l.as ever characterized Chapman, to tnanfully struggle aainst wrong, in whatever shape it might appear, is here plainly to be seen. His ardent and zealous exertions i:. favor cf the stability and permanence cf democratic institutions his tried Democra cy I,: s unwearied euorts to preserve unsullied tha principles which he has espoused his lorg conncc-' Lon With the Democratic press of that State, and his praiseworthy labors in behalf cf the democrats cf his sister States", has secured to ltiui a. grateful remetnbranco of his services, in tlie minds of Democracy, which never can be erased, until memory shall hare been swallowed lip in death. Is it necessary that a ilorrison party should be organized in Indiana, v.hcse avowed object is to muzzla and thwart and counteract the influence of the democratic executive organ cf the State 1 Is it necessary that a paper should be published, with the intention of brow -beating those who do not believe it at all necessary to adopt such a fystcm of political financiering and of villifying and abusing honest men, who do not agree with them in their sordid and selßsh views, nor coincide with them m the accomplishment of their hellish purj-cses. A lraitorr who pursues euch a course, should revi iiitaiu. vvuci.iiU iu vu7 vi ci lacking gcuru and condemnation cf the true-hearted democracy every where. Eaton Ohio) Daiwcrat, Acr. CO. Indiana Democrat. The first and second n umber of the above psper are upon our table. The mechanical appearance of the paper is very respectable but wc regard it as rather bad taste in the editor to make it the vehicle of personal bickerings and revenge. Personally and p.litically wc have teen friendly both with the editors of the "Sentinel" and "Democrat for years and "personally we have no objections" to the publication cf as many democratic papers as the people can sustain. Dut little benefit can result to our cause, however, so long as mete persorud matters are to occupy the attention of our editors at the scat of Government. The many compliments paid by whig editors to the new paper, can never recommend it to out confidence. Regarding Morrison as a Democrat, as we have ever dune, he must go to other sources than the whig press to sustain his political character. Wabash Standard, Aur. J1. IxpIana Sentinel. Amonj all the exchanges which come to cur table; there is no more welcome visiter taan Chapman's Stale Scntineh Tlie paper is right, jolitically ; and there is a life and vivacity about i'.s editorial which render it both amuFirtg and instructive. Lcside all this, its publishers arc tho 4 riijht sort of stock,' f:rst rctc clever fellows. If any one in this 4 neck of woods' desires to know the 'düings' of the lloosler Legislature, just let them scud for the Indiana Slate Sentinel. Ohio Pikctonian. The whole Democratic press of Indians, with one or two exceptions, stand by the side of the lUessrs. ChapTnzns and the State Sentinel.

OtpVc have received an extra Political Beacon, purporting to emanate from J. P. Dunn, late editor of that paper. It is filed with scurrillity aimed at tlie Chapman?, Gov. Wl.itconib, and Jesse D. Eright, and S. F. Covington. If Mr. Dunn expects to prove himself a Democrat by denouncing such men as Whitcomb and Bright, and quoting the iufamous danders of such men as Darnett, epiinst the editors of the State Sentinel, we advise him to send his extras to the Federalists, for we can assure him that the only effect it will have with tho Democrats, will be to confirm them in the belief that all tbe Chapmans bare cliarped against him is true. JYetr Albany Democrat, .Vor. XX Ohigin of Railways. The original inventor, it now appears, of tbe railway system, was the late enjrincer, Mr. Fredericks of Hanover. He first thought of constructing a machine fur the conveyance of heavy loads, while visiting the mines of Silesia, and he sulrequcntly invented iron rails, exactly as they now arc in ue; nl:o a locomotive engine and a cart to run from tl.e Dovittry silver mice, upon the Harrgnion mountain, Hanover, to the place cf refinement, Tuchcrich, a distance of about tin hour's drive. The cart was a four wheeled one, and on its frame was a wooden chest, filled with the mineral of from CO to 60 cwL The guide sat upon the driving box like a coachman, and was able, by pressure, to direct or arrest the cart at any rate of speed. The evidence connected with this origin cf the railway and locomotive is proved by persons still living who rode in it. Ths distance requiring a walk of forty-five minutes was thus performed upon it by the king and queen in five. The inventor subsequently executed a drawing for an English gentleman, who as Air. Fredericks said a short time before his death, 44 wishes to run my new cart in his own country, as I do here. He admires it, and I take grreat care in executing my work, in order to prove that we here are not a set of blockheads." This invention was thus transferred to England, where Mr. Thomas Gray of Exeter was finally instrumental in introducing it; and, after the application of4 steam to boats, the steam locomotive wts also introduced. These important facts have just been made known, and they show that the claims of England to this, as to almost every other invention made by others, are not to be sustained. Thus the world is indebted to Germany for four cf the most important inventions : those of powder, printing, clocks and railroads. -V. 1. .Veirj. Frightful S-exe. We learn from the Richmond Whig, that at sunrise cn tbe morning of tbe 3d inst., as one of the carriages of the Menagerie, containing the lion, tiger, panther, S:c, was in the act of starting for. Tctersburgh, drawn by four horses, one of the horses took fright, and attempted to run; this excited the lion, who roared from alarm, upon whi;h tlie whole team dashed at full speed down Locust alley, not much more than wide enough for the paseae of the car. The driver, in his box, displayed great presence cf mind, and at the intersection cf the alley with Main direct, and a few doors above the Cell Tavern, in turning them upon the side-walk, the wheels coming in contact with the posts planted along ti e side-walk, smashed three of them, when finally one of tho wheels was knocked eff from the axle, the driver pitched into the street and. seriously Lurt, and the wagon upset. The fore-wheels being ty this means detached, the horses proceeded furiously, until they were stopped by obstacles in the street." One of them. was much injured.
