Miitsoti' lEIogrnphcr. ,Bno- H 's not surprising that this fima flustered Mm There are two newspapers published at Brookville, of our democratic friend at Brookville, also. They the residence of Matson, the whig nominee for Gov- ; were dravtd on, a little, by the eham indignation of ernor, one entitled the Franklin Democrat, the ;h- Clarkson. Tbey'sent to us fr the author of the bier, re ry extensively, the U Ham American. Their ogrnphy, and, believing that we had no right to sub-

poimcai diameter may be guessed at, witliout truub!e, even by a stranger, by their respective title?. They happen both to be published on the same day of the week, Friday, an ominous day, as every hangman knows, very appropriate for a whig Taylor papr, not quite so appropriate fir one of democratic tendenc'". We are thus particular, because both of these papers of the dateof June, the 8th, instant, contain matters of some little interest to the people ; made so, not because of any special merit or demerit, in the matters in question, but rather in consequence of the wretched dii. plays of folly on the part of a few whig editors and others, who have a very profound respect for Mr. Matson's dollars, and, of course, of every thing else concerning him. The first paragraph, which we think worthy of attention is the following, from the "Democrat :" The Author of Matson's Biography-. Below will be found the card of Mr. Tyner. His motives for writing the letter to the Scn'inel, and his present address, are left to his own explanation. He fully exonerates all democrats from any participation in the matter. Will the whig press that has been so prolific in its abuse of the democrat?, make the amende honorable 1 Mr. Tyner says he is a whig, and every body here knows such to be the fact. "To the Pcblic. Aa the Indiana American, both editorially and through the medium of a communication, has denied that the 'biographical sketch of Malson, which appeared in the Stat Sentinel a week or two since, waa written by a whig, I deem it bat justice to say that it was written by a whig, and that I am the author. I wrote the letter myself I conceived the design without any one's suggestion, and executed it without any one's assistance ; and the responsibility rests on me. alone. The production had its origin in personal dislike. Of its contents I do not think it advisable at present to mako an elaborate defence. That nine-tenths of the statements, however, contained therein were iterated and reiterated in this district from one end to the other in 1843, every informed man already knows, and every honest man is ready to ad", it. Hut some things that were mentioned are calculated to aid Matson statements which would have been suppressed had not the hurry of the moment end the limited time that was to elapse belore the closing of Ihn mail, prevented a careful revision. It was not surprising that under these circumstances the democratic party should refuse to endorse the production, and the fact has encouraged a wholesale expectoration of venom and vituperation from the whig press, contrasting most beautifully wiih certain pious professions of horror at the 'slanderous' communication to tha Sentinel. These declamatory outbursts are well calculated to biaa the public mind, but 1 shall not reply to them believing that when the heat of political virulence has subsided, a just people will examine their character, and possibly appreciate the causes in which thev had their oriein. WM. T. TYNER. Brookville, June 5, 1649. Under all the circumstances, this card certainly opens as rich as a bay oyster in mid-winter. At least, it will be thought somewhat piquant by those who have paid any attention to the splurgings of the State Journal and vhe Indiana American, ever since the publication of the biographical sketch of the whig gubernatorial candidate ! Keully, we regret that we have not space to republish the whole of the very wise and sensible lucubrations of those very profound and sagacious directors of whig public sentiment, touching this momentous matter ! We equally regret that the same necessity compels us to forego the pleasure of calling their attention to some passages of Hudibras, which occur to our memory, apropos to the occasion ; but we must be content with a general reference to the volume. In a town no bigger than Brookville, of course a Slate secret of this importance would leak out, before its actual appearance in print. This will account for the tone which is assumed in relation tothis same matter by the Indiana American. Those who know the genius at the head of that concern, understand that he is a very expansive humbug of very limited calibre, like an empty barrel, he makes a good deal of noise as he goes off, but is "by no means dangerous. Probably his whole character may be briefly summed up most correctly, by saying that he is a very small and very compressed edition of Eennett of the New York Herald ; a fellow who is ready to puff or abuse friend or f.e, for pay ; the only difference being, that where Bennett would exact a dollar, the American would jump at a dime. We could relate some funny incidents, illustrative of all this, in which black-mail has been levied upon whig politicians, but have not room at present. In anticipation of Mr. Tyner's card, the American had the following : "The Mocstais iir Labor. Since the appearance of the infamous biography of Mr. Matson in the State Sentinel, there has been a considerable flutter in the locofoco camp in this place, to escape from the responsibility and authorship of Vhat article. Every effort has been made by deep scheming, by artful and cunning politicians, to get some whig boy to acknowledge it as his. They first attempted to create the impression that it was written bv a boy then in Burton's store, but the son of a whig. This they found to be too gross a lie to be believ ed by their own party. They then privately circulated that it was written by Wm. G. Terrell, a young gentleman of talents, a son of the Rev. W. Terrell of this place. They said that young Mr. Terrell was in Matson's offhe, and that it was written by him, at the instance of Mr. MaLon. This gross falsehood coming to William's ears, with burning indignition he denounced the slender in the words of the card in the last American. Then another scape-goat must be sought ; and, as it is well known in a community like ours, there can always be found an abundance of instruments who can be made tools of by various stratagems and appliances that -can be brought to bear by shrewd politicians. They are . now charging it upon another boy, the son of a distinguished whig family ; and we should not be astonished if he has already signed the documents. But this does not make it emanate from a whig source. The bey is not known to be a whig, and as whiggery is like every thing ele in this country, not hereditary, the very document itself, proves that it doea not come from a whig. It is not content with distorting and misrepresenting every act of Mr. Matson's life, invading his sanctuary, abusing his wife, and her deceased father, but it abuses the whig party, forever putting to rest that it comes not from a whig. Had it been intended as a petty and contemptible spite towards Mr. Matson", growing out of some personal matter, it would never have spoken disparagingly of the whig party abatiactly. But the author could not conceal his hatred of the whig. party generally and particularly, and it matters not what boy may be induced to suffer the infamy of its authorship, in the public estimation, who know the dark and malignant hearts in this town, will not believe any such thing. Such things will do us good here, and are intended only'for foreign consumption." The object of Clarkson, which is entirely clear, is to make it appear that the author of the Biography is a mere boy. Let his age be what it may, no one who reads his article, will doubt that his brain is quite as well matured and full as hard as that of his assailants, and that his learning and talents arc a great deal superior to theirs. Not only is he altogether their superior in thee respec's, but he is far more eo in those honorable characteristics which mark the gentleman. , Mr. Tyner, we' presume, possesses the right which every man is entitled to in this country, to support or oppose Mr. Matron, according to the dictates of his owu judgment. We publish a newspaper cotnparalively, at least, impartial and free. ' It is our design to let every man be heard through our columns, who can talk to the people with any degree of sense and judgment, whether we may agree with him in eve matter of doctrino and taste, or not. We therefore published Mr. Tyner's article, just as we shall do again, for him, or any body else who can write as well. But a fuss was made at Brookville, as might have been anticipated by any one who understood that Matson had a "pocket full of rocks." Lot any roan possess plenty of money, and there are lots of lickspittles who will be glad to do his dirty work, and lie and leg for him, and against those who may have the curage to tell the truth about him. Of this stripe, precisely, is the Brookville American, the most venal sheet, by all odds, in the Stale of Indi-

ject our party to any risk of damage, on account of

our own itdiscntlms, we sent them the name. Wc were then, as now, personally unacquainted with jhim; but feeling that degree of "friendship" which j we hope we may ever entertain for every man of talrnt, young or old, we ded'red our friends to treat him honorably. This was in answer to the first letter we received on the subject, after the publication of the biography. Since then, we have received several others, which it is useless to answer, here or other- , wise. We now conclude this matter, by saying, in addition to what Mr. Tyner very honorably says in hie card, that he is of the best slock in the State, as we suppr.se the whigs will admit, if they do not claim.

If we are correctly informed by democratic authority, indignation when we remember the outrages mhc is the son of Richard Tyner, Esq., merchant, well flicted upon poor but honest men under the sanction known as one of. the oldest and warmest whigs of ( of this most inhuman law. It stood unrepealed upon the White Water Valley ; his mother is a sister or jour statute books until within a few years, and would the late Governor Noah Noble ; he is a cousin of our J "e remained there forever had such men as Matson "friend" Hackleman, the able editor of the Rushville .continued to control the legislation of the State.

(Whig) Republican ; and is a nephew, also, of Harris Tyner, a tolerably well known whig citizen of Marion count. These farts. of course ehonld not have mentioued, had they jiot been brought out by the ridiculous attitude assumed by the State Journal, the Indiana American, and other whig papers. These fellows, we suppose, may continue to abuse Mr.Tyner. His conduct, however,' evinces that he has the manhood and the .ability to meet. them. A fine time of day, it is, indeed, when.' the State Jour nal, which declared that a regard for whig principles forbade the nomination of Taylor; or for the Brook ville American, which has denounced Henry Clay as bitterly as any "locofoco" sheet in the . ütate, should all at once become the sticklers fur "passive obedience" to Mr. Matson ! The dollars ; the dollaks ! They are the test of political fitnes! on this interesting occasion ! "The strongest efforts have been made bv the whig lead ers to form a union wiih tbe free-soilers. Within a month or two, a voluminous coriespondence by letters has occurred. and since then, consultations have been held by tbe Defoliators in this city. But the schemes of the whig managers have been defeated, becaue the free-soilers were too honest, as well as too wise, to become tieacberous to their professions." The above is copied from the Stat Sentinel of the 2d inst. Look at it. The free-soilers were loo honest, as veil as too vise, to become treacherous to their professions." This is what the Sentinel says now. For the eake of contrast, however, we copy a couple of sentences which it put forth pome months ago. This language is used toward the quakers of the Wayne district, who are now, as they ever have been, opposed to slavery. Read it. Comment is unnecessary: " The quakers, who are tories. can very easily dispense with their anti-slavery jsrofessions for the benefit not only of a whig Congressman, but for a military slave-holding President. No matter how clean and smooth their outsides may be, they are rollen at heart." Madison Banner. Events prove the truth of all these declarations of ours. A comma has been added to the word quakers, in the last paragraph, which we did not originally put there. This is done, and has been ' dono before, tp pervert our meaning. If we should say, that the quakers who are democrats, always prove true to their political professions, would the Banner infer that we meant to say, that all quakers are democrats! The editor of the Banner is, we believe, a Welchman, and. he may not therefore, bo able always to properly construe plain English. Lawrexcebcrgh and RusnviLLE Railroa'd.The Board of Commissioners of Decatur county, at their session on the 30th ult., subscribed $100,000 of stock to this company, which, together with that previously taken by individuals, amounts to $202,700. Twesty miles were authorized to be put "under contract by the middle of August, by which time from $15,000 to $20,000 cash will be on hand. The country is represented as favorable for a railroad, the estimated cost per mile for grading, bridging, &c, being only about $1200 per mile. We believe it is the intention to extend this road west across Shelby county to intersect the M. & I. Railroad at Edinburgh, and thence west into Morgan and Putnam counties. Stealing ! The State Journal of Monday complains loudly about the dishonesty of appropriating the "thoughts and language of another" without credit, and in the same paper coolly appropriates an item of local information the city tax vote which cost us considerable trouble to obtain and publish in an extra on Saturday evening, and for which the Journal was "honorably" bound to give us credit. Tbis is not the first time that enterprising concern has taken the same liberty with us. ftrJournal please copy three times and charge small pox fund account ! The Cholera at Madison. The cholera has made its appearance again in Madison. The Courier of the 9th says, 'from the best information we can get, some seven or eight cases have occurred since last evening. In the same time there have been three deaths from cholera. It is proper to state that all these ca3ea have occurred in exposed or damp situations." Cholera at Cincinnati. -The Commercial's reporters have made strict investigation as to the number of deaths for the week ending June 8, and find that there have been altogether 103 ; of which number 93 were deaths from cholera. This makes an average of over thirteen burials of Cholera a day but more than one half, says the Commercial, have been within the last two days, and were principally Germans. The Board of Health, in the above period of seven days, report but twenty-seven deaths from -Cholera. , . The Crevasse. A N. O. correspondent of the Louisville Democrat, under date of June 1st, says : Our city is now entirely at the raercy of the Mississippi river. As every body expected, Capt. Grant's efforts to Btop the crevasse have been of no avail, and just now the only hope for a check of the inundation is, that the river may continue to fall. All tho obstructions that' three week labor have placed in the breach, are washed away, and the gsp in the levee is wideTiing daily. The city authorities have folded their arms, and are calmly awaiting the worst. The Gold Dollar. Our eyes have been blessed with the sight of several of these brilliant little coins. - They are beautiful to look upon, and be witching to the palm, as one handles them. The piece is considerably smaller in circumference than a half dime, but thicker and slightly heavier. After seeing the gold dollar one can hardly think of a papa shin-plaster with any degree of patience. We have one iu our sanctum which we will exhibit for the gratification of the curious. 0-The Virginia Legislature has adjourned from jh'tchmond to the Fauquier White Sulphur Springs, Tor fear of, -the cholera!

iiicut for Icbt. During the session of 1335-9, of which the whig candidate for Governor va3 a member, a bill was introduced proposing abolish imprisonment for dell. On the question of its final passage, Mr. MATSON VOTED AGAINST IT! See page 474, House Journal, 1833 9. Let the people remember this. Mr. Matson is rich, so suy his whig friends, he j considers himself far retnovrd from the potsibility of want or misfortune, and this vote shows that he cares not for those who may be less favored as to the posses sion of this world's goods.no matter how gifted or how good. With him, poverty is a crime, to be puniehed; not a misfortune, calling for sympathy and aid. So we have a riffht to infer from his vote. We : might give many instances, w ithin our own recollec lon, of the misery and disgrace entailed by this bar- . baruus law ; 6uch scenes are doubtless fresh also in . the memory of every reader. Our blood boils with j Man7 wero the WJ8 w,lch close-fisted creditors, j rascally attorneys, collectors and agents, took advan- : "2e of this law to oppress the poor man. It was not unfrequcntlhat a farmer, compelled by his necessities, contracted a small debt with the village merchant: sickness or accident rendered him unable to pay : his body was torn from his weeping family and buried in a loathsome jail, there to lay and rot month after month, while his little crop went to waste for the want of bis labor; and his family pined in hunger and sorrow, mourning fu husband and father as worse than dead. Released at last; smarting under a keeq sense of the wrong inflicted j"pon; fcim," Tegarded as a criminal when he knew he was nut, disgraced in the eyes of his fellow-men, pointed at as a jail-bird, his children looked upon as suspicious characters, is it wonderful that such a man should be desperate, that he should commit violence! Is it wonderful that he is not a good citizen? Not at all. It is almost impossible that he should be. The various forms of indignity which might be, and frequently were committed against the person, under the sanction of this law, against the repeal of which Mr. Matson voted, it is not necessary to specify in detail. Suffice it to 6ay that men were dragged from the marriage altar, from the funeral procession, and from their homes at the hour of midnight, the creditor well knowing that in most cases if the debtor could not pay, under such distressing circumstances, some friend could be found to pay the debt for him, rather than see the victim go to jail. A striking instance of the infamy of Imprisonment for debt is to be found in the case of Robert Morris, a signer of the declaration of Independence. He spent a princely fortune, and of his blood freely, to ac quire the freedom of this country from the British yoke; but neither the memory of this, nor his splen did talents, nor his many virtues, could save him from dying in prison, for dell! And yet, after nearly every State in the Union, and every civilized country in the world, had wiped the foul blot from their statute books, Mr. Matson delib erately voted to retain it on ours! Mr. Matson has progressed 6ome, in profession at least, since this vote was given, lie even now pre tends to be in favor of legal reForm! We hope he is sincere. The people, however, will prefer a man for their Governor who is in favor .of progressive measures from principle, to one who, like Mr. Matson, is driven to their advocacy by the irresistible force of public opinion. OrWe.learn that the Directors of the Indianapo lis and Bellefontaine Railroad Co. at their recent sea sion, revived for six months, the act of the Company authorizing subscribers to pay out a share of stock in cash, at $20 to a uhare of $25 in lieu of the cred it system, and that the Board passed an act allowing interest at 6 per cent, upon all cash payments, for stock, at the par value, until a dividend shall be de clared. The subscriptions to the work are repre eented to be rapidly increasing. The directors from the upper counties we understand speak in confident terms of the determination of these counties and peo ple, to construct the work through them. . The gra ding and bridging of the first section of 27 miles fron Indianapolis to Pendleton is rapidly progressing to completion, and the prospects of the work leave no doubt of its construction. 07We learn that the Pennsylvania and Ohio R. R. Companies have adopied the direct route from Pittsburgh to the Indiana Slate line, to connect with the Indianapolis and Bellefontaine Railroad at that point, and that the Dayton and Greenville road is progressing to intersect the main line at the same place. 0C7"The following paragraph appears in the Journal of Commerce of May 31. Indiana Debt. Agreeably to an Act of the Legislature of Indiana, passed on the 5lli January last, Mr. Collins, Financial Agent of that State, is about applying to the holders of her bonds, for permission to defer iho payment of the January instalment of interest, until the 1st Monday in March, in each year, for three years to come; interest for the extended period to be paid at the rate of G per cent. The reason assigned for the change is, that the annual payment of taxes do not fall due until February, and that the farmers do not generally realize from their produce, in time to permit the taxes to be collected sooner without great inconvenience. It is a pity, that any modification of the arrangement so recently entered into with the bond-holders, should be required; yet we presume it will be readily, granted. . Mr. Collins expects that after three years, the State will be able to pay the interest in January! as heretofore. , Projected Railway.- Charters for a Railway from Toledo, through Southern Michigan and around the southern bend of Luke Michigan, to Chicago, have been secured by a company uf Ncv York capitalists.
