Tho democrats of the iate f Indiana are requested to appoint delegates to repre.-ent them in a Statt Convention to be held at Indianapolis on the Sih day of January, 1SH, which convention will nominate delegates to the National Democratic Convention for the nomination of candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. Also, to take into consideration the appointment of Presidential electors. By a vote of the committee, each county is requeited to elect its delegates at the earliest practicable period, and not less, if possible, than its representation in the General Assembly. It is desirable, however, to have as larje a representation as possible. tf By order of State (Jenlral Committee. We are requested to announce D. W.

We again issue our annual prospectus for our papers during the session of the Siate Legislature. So liberally have they been herstof re patronized in every section of the State, we might content ourselves with barely announcing tiioir continuance. In view, however, of the probable interesting matters to be agitated, discussed and disposed of in the coming session, we purpose an allusion to them, that eveiy one may judge of the importance of keeping himself informed. It is not expected that any su'ijoct of a parly character, 6trictly, will be before tha Legislature; and consequently measures, in which the people of the Slate are greatly interested, will b? mainly to be acted on. Am ing these will probably ba the completion of the arrangement of our State Dobt. Indeed, we should not be surprised if ihi should prove the great measure of the session. What course it may tak or wiiat may be the result, is at present only problematical : but it is a question of such vast importance, that all are more or less intorested in having its details properly adjusted, and definitely settled. This subject will receive strict attention on our part. The usual amount of other business will also be interesting no d jubt, and as none but the best of reporters will be engaged, our readers may rely on correct information. Our Congressional reports will also be of an unusually interesting character from the importance of the su"j jcU t j b'? agitated by that b-dy ; and in connection with the war, (enough of itself to induce every person to subscribe to a good newspaper,) 'will furnish matter of the highest interest for our columns, and which will be attended to with much care and attention. We shall in all probability have the facility of the magnetic telegraph to aid us in giving the very latest news. x Eeing now disconnected from the public printing, we can devote a much larger share of our attention to every department of the paper, making it much more valuable and interesting to our readers generally. Term. Tri-Weekly for the session $1,00 Weekly do ; 50 Payments to bs mad'j always in advance.

Almost every sfssiini, hundreds have s-'nt in, requesting back numbers, when it has been out of our power to supply them. A little d.Itgence will prevent similar disappointments. Our cotemporaries, to whom we return thanks for many similar kindnesses, will lay us under additional obligations by noticing this prospectus editorially or by insertion. C1IAPMAXS & SPANX. Indianapolis, Nov. G, IS 17. Floods! Floods! Within ten days, a vast amount of rain lias fallen more, we venture to say, than in the first nine months of the present year, if we except the January flood. It has come upon us suddenly, and in great abund ance. Tiie streams are all high and yet swelling. "We are almot cut off by land communication from the aurrouuding country, especially on the National Road, almost every brieVe east and west having tumbled d own through neglect, or been washed away. Ot Sunday night and all day Monday, the rain con tinued to fall in torreuts; purling brooks became streams of note, and creeks put on all the airs of tumbling rivers. The Eail Pioad bridge over Tleasanl Kun is so far injured as to stop the cars for the pre ent; and fears are entertained for the safety of the Central Canal. Tuesday, the clouds have disappeared, ud the signs look for cold dry weather. P. S. S.nce the above was written, we learn thai the damage to the Hail Road bridge is not so great as we at first supposed. With temporary repairs, the :ar were enabled to pass a few hours after their reg ular time. Every eflort will at once be applied to re pair the damage, and, we suppose, to guard against a like occurrence hereafter. The Sewers.

Tue Journalour nll grd Inconsistency und Progress. For the last week or two, the Journal las eemed to think it an object of the highest interest and utmost importance to show that the State Sentinel Las been incoi.sistent in its course upon tlie subject of Texas

amJ Mexico.-especially upon the point of the settlement ,,r ,,r difficulties with the latter. We do not know that it is a matter of such trrns- , - , rendent cunseouence as the Journal seems to sunnose. - 11 1 I 1 we maJr ,I"nl saJ't r do, whether consitent ior inconsistent, will liatdly dtlernine the settlement ; of the war question, and rerhaos not even exert al controlling influence over the executive branch of the National Government, nor the democratic party! Were we candidates for T, or likely to be, liiere might perhaps be some apology for the labored efforts of the Journal to attain its end. But we have not yet concluded to run for the Presidency, nor the U. S. Senate, and we shall not take any thing less, unless the people say we must, and we have not learned that they desire our services in any such capacity. We care so very little, personally, about the imputation of the Journal, that we should not notice it? lung article, of a column and a quarter, of Nov. 5. did we nt suppose that the Journal itself would feel disappointed and Aggrieved if we did not honor it with some attention. We shall be courteous enough fo do this; but we inut be brief. In the first place, the Journal, peering through its jHtlitical glass eyes, thinks it lias made a notable discovery of wonderful elTects produced by our "junior's living visit to Washington !" To be sure, the Journal has heretofore imputed to tho junior" impressions not the most favorable to the Tresidont, peisonally; hut w it h marked onsisUvcy, it pretends to believe, hat notwithstanding his alleged " dissatisfaction, " the "junior," like on "old bee hunter," scented out he secrets of the cabinet, (which nobody has been !een enough to do bef ire,) and comes back to settle the opinions t f the whole country through the influential columns of tl.e State Sentinel. Is it worth while for us to deny Mich an imputation! To deny tLat our junior has fathomed at a glance the whole policy T a cabinet which lias heretofore been proverbial for keeping its own secrets so closely that no ed.tor rnr politician has been able to guess at thern with anv degree vf certainty ! No: we confess we hae too much vanity to deny so sfl an impeachment ! We pas. The Journal next recurs to the question of Texas annexation, and repeats, for the hundredth time, its false assumptions, untrue statements and gross misrepresentations. It impudently talks tf the Sentinel's "opposition agnir.st the annexation of Texas," in conjunction with Ecnton, Van Euren, Johnson, Wright, Woodbury and other democratic leaders. It cannot be expected that we should make any other reply to this than it domes, and that is to say, that Ihe Journal is n deliberate falsifier, not only in rrgard to the State Sentinel, but especially so with respect to Woodbury,' Johnson, and other "lenders" whom it names. There is not &n intelligent citizen of Indiana, be he w hig or democrat, w ho will not aree with us in this respect. We always did, and do still believe, that snne t f the men early engaged in the measure of Texas annexation, were actuated by selfish and sinister motives, and that they maiJe, or ei'deavored to make that measure a means of deftroying the organization of the democratic party. These, we need not say were not Renton, Van Puren, Wright, Johnson or Woodbury, tliey could gain nothing by such disorganization, and we need as liitle to say that they icire Tyler, Web ster, Calhoun and their coadjutors. We opposed these men and their Scheines at on early day, and with the same good motives should oppose them again, just as we should oppose any other j hast of w higgery. These are the men who are responsible for th time and the manner of annexation, which, if they did not precipi tate the war, which Jlexico had before threatened, alTirdcd to the Mexican whigs in this country their chief excuse for the customary display of their inherent and inbred hatred to their own government and country, and among whose most malignant organs may be reckoned the Indiana Journal. We cannot aflord to waste our space in following up these incidental misrepresentations of ti e Journal. We can only touch upon the weighty charge against our ow n consi-tency on the subject of territory, which our neighbor now so greatly fears will be acquired! from his' dear friends the unfortunate and ill-, starred " Mexicans, in t!,n 8ettlemei.t of nrnnnt, ! with them. The Sentinel's glaring inconsistency is manifested, says tho Journal, because last July we a-ked Mr. j T,.r J I any Mexican territory as a permanent acquisition!"! and said fie demon flcy has never taken that ground.'' 0 ik utcuva in icaurn in lime usuecitiiiy wuai we Ba,U . 3 about the democratic party, and then ffoes on to show o

the inconsistency of it with our recent declaration, , i n i i . " ''are not surpassed. Our readers saould look particuthat, "for aursehes, under present circumstances. ve i i . , . 1 . ,. ' . .Jarly at our advertisements, and by so dom", they

the K10 Urande. Here is simply a statement of two facts: one, that in July last (a3 now) the democratic party did not support the war for the sakt of acquiring territory alone ; and, secondly, that we, that is, the Chapnians, (w ho do not reckon themselves as quite the ichoJeof the democratic party,) as the Mexicans have refused to make peace, are in favor of making them pay the costs of the war, in whole or in part, and, as they have got no money, to take so much land, on a final settlement, as will give us a good boundary between the two nations. Now these declarations of fact, so fir from being inconsistent, have not the slightest necessary connexion with each other. It by no means fallows, because we may prefer a certain boundary, that the democratic party will prefer and adopt it; nor, if they Fhould, would it prove that it was inconsistent with the disposition we attributed to them last July, upon w hich the Journal lays such peculiar stress. Hut ihe truth is, and the Journal knows it, that our opinions as expressed in July, and ever since, are perfectly consistent, bo far as this subject is concerned, and it is only by the most fur-fetched, strained and illogical inferences, that it can make out even a specious case of inconsistency. Tho Journal at that time tried to make capital out of the very extract which it ruaies the text for its renewed assault; and in our Semi-weekly of July 23th we replied to it in these words: 'The war has never been sanctioned or sustained by the democratic p'iNy for Ihe purposes of conquest per se. But no reasonable man can expect a spttlement of our difficulties with Mexico, except by a relinquishment of a portion of her territory to satisfy the just demands and claims of this country, especially those which existed before the w ar. None but Corwin and his followers have dared to suggest any other result as desirable in any view of the case. And the State Journal ia Ihe only newspaper which we now r'n?'er to have justified Corwin in this particular. "e journii o;)e not ucsire a -oi or jiextcan bjiI: ;, , , , . . - r,. " would prefer to give up a part of Texas." " r r Previous to this, semi-weekly, July 3, and weekly, July 8th, wp said: ' All intellig.-nt men of that party, ns well as our own, nnst know that there is no practicable way oi sfttlii s lir dulk-uhi. a with Mexico ol y a cession of n part of hr territory lo u- Cal, forma and n par. of northern Mexico at least; and that thin-cession Will he made upon fair and equitable terms, und in a spint liberal towards Mexico. "T. tre ure, e think, very few p"r?ons in the

country who look up' n any termination of the war as reasonable or probable, which does not include the cession of some part of northern Mexico. There will be no other method of obtaining from that impoverished and exhausUd country the indemnity due for depredations on our commerce.

V - . up a peace without making provision for the payment of what is due to our citizens from Mexico. Mexico hap no other way of making compensation but by a cess. on of territory. We might take her promise, but a treaty including .uch a promise would be a fraud on its very face, for il is a promise which would be certain not to be fulfilled, and would draw aVttr it perpetual wrangling and discontent between the two nations. "The danger of a quarrtl between the north and south, on the slavery question, has been urged by some as an argun.cnt against the addition of any new territory to our Union. We are in the midst of that quarrel already, in regard to the organization of the territory of Oregon. A few thousand square miles, more or less in California or New Mexico, will not change the principle of this controversy, or make any difference in its adjustment. It may be settled, ni.d doubtless will be, at one und the same time, for both Oregon and the territory obtained from Mexico." We think this is enough to show whether our present opinions ore inconsistent with those expressed by us in July ; or w hether our opinions have been influenced, as the Journal pretends to suppose, by our "junior's riving trip to Washingt n." As to the opinions at present entertained by tho Administration, if the Journal were a little wiser than it is, and could judge with better judgment, it would perhaps be able to see that it now knows nothing at all about them. After every body else finds out what they are by the "course of events," they may expect to hear something said about them in the old almanac of the Journal, there is not the slightest danger that it will "progress" fast enough to' do any thing more than follow in the rear, cursing our own government and cr5''"o the " poor Mexicans." As to consistency heaven save the mark! The very man whom the Journal thinks can be alone elected to the Presidency by the whigs, and whom it of course pupports without the least regird to Iiis opinions, Gen. Tasxok himstlf was one of Hit very first to suggest the boundary for w hich we recently express d a qualified preference, and in view of which the Journal now pretends to feel such inexpressible horror! In Iiis letter to Gen. Gaines, written more than a year ojo, and of course altogether forgotten by the Journal, Gen. Taylor wrote distinctly in favor of the Sierra Madre line, in these words: "It serins to me, the most judicious course to be pursued on our part, WOULD HE TO TAKE POSSESSION AT ONI E, OF TIIE LINE WE WOULD ACCEPT BY NEGOTIATION, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific, and occupy the same, or keep what we have already possession of; and that, w ith Tatnpico, (which 1 hope to take in the course t f next ii'.ontl!, or as soon as 1 ran get the means of transportation.) WILL GIVE US ALL ON THIS SIDE OF TIIE SiEKRA MADRE, and, as soon as I occupy Saltillo, will include six or seven States or Provinces, thus holding Tampico, Victoria, .Monterey, Saltillo, Monclovia, Chihuahua, (which I presume Gen. Wool has possession of by ibis time.) Suiita Fe and the Californias, and say to Mexico, "Drive us from the country!" throwing rn her the responsibility and expense of carrying on off-nsive war, at the same time closely blockading all her ports on Ihe Pucific and the Gulf. A course of this kind, if persevered i:i for a short time, would soon bring her to her proper senses, and compel her to sue for peace." In the above the line of the Sierra Madre is distinctly suggested as the one we should or might occupy, and J-fy the Mxicans to drive us from it! If sucli an idea is wrong in us, when coupled w ith the hope of a fair and liberal adjustment of all difficulties with Mexico, and is entitled to the punishment inflicted by the sermonizing, long-winded articles of i.i.-t i . ..... u ;..;. .i .. r its favrite candidate for the Presidency also. When it does this the Journal may be able to appreciate, as well as pretend to believe, the truth, that " honesty is the best policy." We hope our readers will pardon us for trespassing on their patience, with such a subject as this, and to such length.

Journal of Commerce have been favored witn the following extract from a letter written by a merchant of New York w ho has long been a resident in omc of the most populous manufacturing districts in England. The letter is aillrpssr to his partner in New York: "You will learn from the papers the frightful state oflhe mercantile world on this side of the water. Confidence is almost annihilated, and the distress for money is unparalleled. Loan are now being made in London, Liverpool, and in all the important manufacturing and shipping marls, of money payable on demand, and on undoubted ecurily, at 10 per cent, per annum interest. Say what they in.iv, the harvest is only an average for corn (meaning ihn cereals.) whilst the peas, beans and turnips are I fearfully skort und the potato crop in doomed. To dd to the uliirm, we are advised tliat the cholera has, in ils westwaid march, already rtuched Poland, and it is feared weshull be visited with lhal scourge this winter. The track it follow ia almost identical with that of 1831 and Uli. One of the English papers has this remarkable statement: Df.preciatio or Railway Propertt.

Undoubtedly this, and the great loss of the precious metals in exchange for breadstufls, were the main causes of the present financial crisis in England. Com. Stockton, and party, forty-six in number, arrived at St. Louis on the 5th inst., and the Commodore immediately took passage for Washington, tq be present at the trial ol' Lt. Col. Fremont. Tiie St. Louis Union says From Mr. Sam. J. ÜENsLEr, a trader, we learn, that they li ft the Sacramento Vallpy, near Sutter's Settlement, on the 10. h of Ju'y. They found conside

rable snow on tho mountains, and ihe rivers this side j could not, of course, be procured here, and the Uniquite low. The weather during the whole trip, w as I led States blue (the best soldier's clothing in the world)

very dry. When on Tuekey nwr, they were attack ed by a party of Washu Indians in the night, and four horses were badly wounded. Before Com. Stockton left his bed, he was slightly wounded in the arm by an Indian arrow. On the route, they met large parties of emigrants on their way to California and Oregon. On the Platte, the Indians were encamped in large numbers, and sent deputations to Com. S., requesting him to ask their Father (the President) to send ihein agents and farmers, that they iniy become civilized. Business was much embarrassed in California, by dithculties between the agents. When they left all was quiet, and no further hostility with the inhabitants was epprehended. Col. Mason is acting as Governor. The citizens of St. Joseph tendered a public dinner to Com. Stockton, on his arrival there, and the Union regrets that his hurry prevented the citizens of that city from doing him a similar honor. Dates from Santa Fe to the 7th of September have been received at St. Louis. It was rumored that the Americans had been driven out of. Chihuahua, and their property seized. The Mexicans at Santa Fe were quiet and peaceable, and were much better citizens than the American Soldiers, who were very d.sordcrly, and it is stated that the calaboose was alreay full of men w ho could not otherwise be governed. New York Election. We have received but few returns since the publication of our morning edition. There is nothing to change the aspect of the case as there presented. Tiie Whigs have carried all the State otficers and both branches of the Legislature by large majorities. A full Senate was elected this year, agreeably to the amended Constitution. The number of votes polled is unusually small. In this city, only about IJO.OOO, out of a total of more than 50Ä100 legal voters. Thousands of Democrats, who were dissatisfied with the Syracuse nominations, d.d not vote at all, and some went so fir, in their hatred of Hunkerism, as to vote the Whig ticket. A house divided against itself, cannot stand. Jour, of Com., Nor. 2. Outrage We learn from the Indiana American, that the Sheriff, Mr. Wm. Robinson, went into Hamilton county, Oiiio, to arrest a fugitive from justice, from Henry county, Indiana. He found, and arrested, had him ironed and was bringing him back, when he was stopped by a mob, among whom waa a lawyer of Cincinnati. Mr. Kobinson was beaten, and finally held, until a horse was furnished the prisoner, and he was allowed to ccape. After he had been gone some time, Robinson was released, when he mounted his horse and put after hi n. After a chase of some miles, he overtook him in the streets of Cincinnati, arresfed, took him again before a justice of the peace, and committed him to the jail of Cincinnati. From Texas. Our dates from this State are to the 10th inst. The yellow fever was very fatal at Galveston there being deaths from it in one week. Col. Van Zandt died on 'the 11th inst., at Houston, with fever.

The policy pursued by Gen. Patterson is worthy of all praise. lie is indetatigaole 111 his exertions to 'persecute the poor guerilleros? Two days ago he sent out two detachments of mounted men, mostly Texans, and they came acros a couple of bands of guerilleros, and they succeeded in killing some thirty odd of tlieir number, destroying a lare number of arms and a treat quantity of ammunition ; besides burning down the main place of rendezvous of these oullaws, the hacienda of Colonel Znobia. He had obtained a safe guard for his house from Gen. Scott, but he turned guerilla and forfeited it, and the Texans served him right. Yet we have men here, who insist our government will have to pay this guerilla chieftain the value of his hacienda. Gen. Patterson will soon rid us of the guerilleros, by his stringent and sagacious policy. We have no recent intelligence from General Si ott Gen.

The regiment accepted the clothing with the exception of one company, the members of which positively refused, on the ground that it was disgraceful for them to wear the national uniform ! Tliey could nut clothe themselves in anything else; they were becoming ragged, and wTere on the point of marching to the interior, where there is no clothing at all. Gen. Gushing ordered them out of the ranks and sent them to the castle to perform laborer's duty. Yesterday the 'prisoners were marched from the camp to the castle, under charge of Capt. Carr's company, 11th infantry. On reaching the mole some fifteen of them endeavored to beg off, saying that if they were permitted to return to duty, they would wear the blue cloth, but it was too late.

G lorious old fifth it has suffered terribly in this war. Strände to tell, not one single officer of that regiment who was present at Palo Alto and Resaca and was present at the recent battles, has escaped ; that is, they have all been either killed or wounded.

Deeming his own men too few for the undertaking, and seeing the Marines without an officer, he ordered them to help him. They replied that he was no officer of theirs, and refused he remonstrated, and they still refused. finding authority and remonstrance ot no avail, he shouted to them "Mannes, I am the son of Commodore Morris ; if you have any veneration for his memory, f.iliow me." This appeal was irresistible; their sailor hearts were touched, and with a cry, as ot joy, they bounded forward and shared his dangers and his perils, until success was obtained.
