A New Minister from France. -The New York Tribune states that, "we are informed that M. Poussia's recall has been decided on ly the French government, independent of hia difficulty with the cabinet at Washington. Mr. de Montholon, the 6on of General Montholon, is said to be named Lis successor." Letting of the Plank Road to Charleston, Li. Mr. O. M. Marsh received the contract for making the plank road from Jeffersonville to Charleston, Indiana, from the Clark county Central plank road Company. The road is to be 13 feet wide, and Mr. Ma rah agrees to build it for 9 per rod. When completed it will be one of the best and most useful roads in the country. Carpenters. There is a great lack of carpenters incur city at the present time, owing: to the large amount of work in progress. Master carpenters have told us that they would employ from six to twelve extra hands at once could they get them, and at high wage; B"d one, to our knowledge, if not a dozen others, would give steady employment through the winter. This useful clase of mechanics abroad should look at .their chances here. Grace Greenwood is at present in Host on superintending the issue of her first book which is now passing rapidly through the press of Messrs. Ticknor & Co. The volume is to contain a collection of her prose tale?, a aeries of stories evincing a power and condensation in the narration of incidents seldom exhibited. "Greenwood Leaves the title of the new book, will we doubt not, be as attractive and gain as much popularity as Fanny Forrester's "Alderbook," the 8th edition of which we pee is advertised. ZMukcer. On Saturday, Sept. 15th, John P. Harvey was killed by Thornton Clevinger, in Tippecanoe county. The quarrel originated at a shooting match, between other persons. Clevinger was committed for trial by justice Shaw of the Bottle Ground. The Lafayette Journal saysMr. Harvey, the deceased, was one of our best citizens, and esteemed by all who knew him. He was about 3d years of age, and left a wife and four chil dren to deplore bis loss. Frederick Douglass. The Aorth Star publishes a letter addressed by Mr. Douglass tu Captain Thomas Auld, his former roaster, in which it is said that Capt. A. has emancipated all his slaves except the grandmother of Mr. D. who is too old to sustain herself in freedom. Capt. A. has taken her from the desolate hut where she formerly lived, into Lis own kitchen, and is now providing for her in a manner becoming a man and a christian. Mr. D. addressed his former master in a spirit of gratitude and respect. Newspaper Literature. A resolve has passed the Legislature of Maine, directing the clerk of the Judicial Court in each county in that Slate to purchase, bind and preserve, for the use, and at the expense of the country, a copy of the newspopers published therein, not exceeding three in number, commencing with the year 1849, and giving preference to those most abounding in historical and other information valuable to the public. A similar law was passed last winter in New York. Thus will be preserved, in the most authentic shape, the best data of the political, social and religious history of the times. Florida Indians. The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce says the government has ordered ten more companies of artillery to Florida, for the protection of the inhabitants of that State from about one hundred Seminole warriors and three hundred squaws and papooses. With an army of two thousand veterans, it ia to be hoped tint the apprehensions of the inhabitants will becalmtd, even if their pockets be not filled by a profuse government expenditure. The Indians still contemptuously encircle themselves in their morasses, showing no disposition for hostilities. But they are singularly devoted to their soil, and do not like tu be removed westward. für The New Albany Daily Democrat, has been succeeded by the "Daily Ledger." The new paper is much larger than the one it replaces, and presents a handsome appearance in every respect. The Ledger will be heretifter conducted by Messrs. Kent & Norman. They have the ability to make it an able, efficient and interesting paper. The "Daily Bulletin" (whig.) has also been much enlarged and improved. We are glad to witness these evidences of prosperity, the result, not only of the enterprise of the publishers, but indicative also of the public spirit of the people of New Albany. Vermont Election. The Montpelier Watchman has returns, nearly complete, of the votes for Gov- j ernor and Representatives, and sums up the result as follow?: "Returns nearly full, of the vote for Governor, are: Carlos Coolidge, (whig.) 26,250; Horatio Needham, (democrat.) 23.066; Jonas Clark and scattering, 3,131; majority for Coolidge, 33 votes. Seven towns are yet to comn in. These towns last year cast 717 votes, and gave 271 majority against Coolidge. He will gain part of thnt, leaving him about 225 short of an election, according to the returns." There is a large majority of whigs in the Legislature, which will insure Coolidge' election, of course, if he is not elected by the people. The Free-Soil demagogues in New York are raving fur the annexation of Canada. We hope that these rascals, who are so fierce for annexation, will soon be annexed to a rope or to the pillory or the whip-ping-post. The above nice paragraph is from that chaste and decent concern, the. Louisville Journal. It has surallowed all its old abolition notions, and now rants as valiantly again? the Free Soiler as Gen. Quattletutn himself. Bit the blackguardism of the Louisville Journal is the beet compliment that it can pay to any body. Fihe! On Monday evening, about half past 10 o'clock, the Brew house, belonging to Joseph Laux, situated r.ear Pogue's Run, main street, was discovered fo be on fire by one of the workmen who slept in the bui'd mg. It was totally consumed; and the adjoining buildings were barely saved by the timely application of water by the engines. The loss is probably some eight hundred la one thousand dollars, none of which was insured. The fire is supposed to have originated accidentally, frcm a defect in the walls of the kiln. It is peculiarly hard on Mr. L., as he had just stored his houe with grain, all of which i detroyed. We trust his friends will lenda helping hand to give him a new start; and we my ask, Has ho an enemy ? No-

AVIiipfreryCoiivislciicy. The Terrys-ville Eagle of the 20ih inst. attempts to show that we are inconsistent, because, while we have condemned the removal of Gen. Lane by Taylor, we have also said, that the present Auditor of State cannot reasonably expert any thing else than to be succeeded by some democrat. Wc don't wonder that the Editor of the Eagle is a whig, if he be so dull as to consider the cases at all parallel. Lane was removed, almost a soon as he had commenced the discharge of his functions as Governor of Oregon, and long before the term of hi commission hid expired.

The Auditor will have served out the full term for which he was elected, and will stmid in the same attitude as any other citizen. Even if there were a whig majority in the Legislature, the claims of the present Auditor for re-election would be no bitter than those of any other good whig equally well qualified; and it will not be pretended by any body, we think, that he has any stronger claims upon the democrats than he has upon the whigs. Again: Lane was removed or turned ouj of his office, in the face and eyes of t lie repeated and solemn pledges of Taylor and the Taylor leaders, from Crittenden and Clayton down, that no such "proscription" ehou!d be practised. The Democrats Lave never been guiliy of such falsehood and hypocrisy; and because we condemn such infamous baseness, it is no evidence of inconsistency in us. We have never blamed the whigs for promoting men f their own fnilh to office; but only because of their treachery and frauds. We said that Taylor de-served a oat of tar and feathers, not for the mere removal of Gen. Lane, but for the moving causes of that removal, which were nothing more nor less than mean-spirited, lowlived revenge for a supposed personal affront. We don't care who the man is, nor whether he be a whig or democrat, if he make use of the power and prerogative conferred upon him by election to office, for the purpose of inflicting wanton injury upon his real or supposed personal enemies, and for the glutting of private animosity and revenge, he abuses and disgraces the office he holds, and the people who elected him. Any min guilty of such a flagitious prostitution of power, should, if possible, be turned neck and heels out of office, and kicked after he was out, from one end of the country to the other. 03The above remarks will also onswer the Logansport Telegraph, as well as the Perrysville Eagle. The School Law. An intelligent friend has called our attention to a fact in relation to the late school law, and the vote of Marion county at the August election upon the same, which is important. It raises the question whether the law can go into operation in this county; and the law and the facts seem to determine that it cannot. The 31it section of the act of last winter requires that there shall be a majority of those voting, or in other words, a majority of the whole number of votes given, in a county, to m:ke the law go into effect. As it is a matter of some interest, we give the entire section, as follows: Sec. 31. ThU act to le in force from and after its publication in the Indiana Jouinil and Stale Sentinel, with ( Iii exception, that nothing herein contained hill be construed to prevent the distiibution of the school fund in Mrrb, 1849, under the laws now it force; Provided, however. That the severil counties of his Slate be and they are hereby exempted from the provisions r. f this act, until sa i J couuliel respectively assent thereto, and fr the puipos of securing such assent, at the annual August elections held iu the several townships in said counties, the inspectors hall propoun to each person when he pie-ents hi ballot, the following question, lo-witt "Are you in favor of the act of I84S-9 to inciease aud extend the benefits of cummon schools?" the answer to each of which interrogatories sball be noted down by the clerks of such elections, and tha number voting in the affirmative and negative, certified by the inspectors of said elections to the County Auditors of their respective counties, at the same lime required by law to make returns of such elections; aud whenever a majority of those voting at tuch township August election! iu any of said counties are in favor of this act, then the same sball lake effect and be in force in such county, and until such asseot is given in each of said counties, the vote for and against this act at each succeeding August election, shall be taken as above in this section provided, in each of said counties so refusing its assent thereto. The whole uumber of votes given in Marion county was 331 1. Of these 1S99 were for the law, and 1753 against it; not voting 162. Against the law, 1753 Not voting, 1G2 1915 . 1399 For the law. Less than a majority of all the votes given, 1G If this be the proper construction of the section, the law must remain inoperative until another annual election. Several of the townships have elected officers under the law, wc understand. Consul at Paus. The Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce writes as follows: Mr. Goodrich, who is popularly known as Peter Parley, is at this moment strongly urged upon the administration as the successor of Robert Walsh in the Parisian Consulate. There would appear to be a connexion between this fact and the editorial denunciations of Mr. Walsh which have appeared in the government organ tin "Republic." You may have noticed that the co-organ, the Intelligencer, has not countenanced the censures so profusely bestowed upon Mr. Walsh. Mr.. Walsh, it is alleged by the Republic, does not satisfactorily discharge the technical duties of the Consulate. How this may be, I do not know ; but, if an improvement of this sort be needful, it would be well to restore the late Consul, Mr. Draper, who wns willing to devote his time and money to technical as well as other duties of the Consulate. I do not learn that the Cabinet have yet determined to remove Mr. Walsh. When he is out, I will advise you. We are no admirer of Walsh; but to eupersede hirn by the appointment of such a "literary dyspeptic" as Goodrich, would be ridiculous enough. But it seems that nothing is too absurd for the Taylor administration to be guilty of. OyThc Washington correspondent of the Pa. Ledger, under date of Sept. 15, writes: The extreme probability of a union between Barnburners and Hunkers in the State of New York has filled every Democrat hre with joy and exultation, the conduct cf Mr. John Van Buren is much praised, and the general theme of laudation. He has certainly given proof of great tact, as well as of an extraordinary degree of intelligence. The result of the recent elections has had a considerable effi-ct in cooling angry political passion here as elsewhere, and tncre is every reason to hope that the approaching session of Congress will not be so exciting as was anticipated but a few weeks ago. It id pretty certain ti.at the administrating will have no working majority, in either House, and that, short of a few jiia considera, thrown out in the President' message, it will not attempt any material change in the laws or politics of tl.e country. The Democrats, satisfied wait the laws as I hey stand, will throw no impediment in the way of their execution, so that there will be positively nothing done in the way of legislation, and n resistance to an administration, which fur the time being, is as powerless as if it had never succeeded to the government. Phenomenon. A curious phenomenon is stated to have occurred in Rotshire, Scotland, during a thunderstorm. Immediately after one f the loudest peals of thunder ever heard there, a large irregular shaped rnnss of ice, reckoned to be nearly twenty feet in circumference, and of a proportionate thickness, fell nenr a farm-house. It had a beautiful crystaline appearance, being nearly all quite transparent, ex- . cepting a small portion of it, which consisted of hail-. stones of uncommon size, fixed together. It was principally composed of small aquares, diamond-shape, of from one to three inches in size, all firmly concealed together. The weight of thia large piece of ice could not be ascertained. No appearance whatever of hail or snow was discernible in the surrounding district at the time.

Mr. JcfFersoil oil the Slave lucstioii. The annexed letter from Thomas Jefferson to Hon.

era! util.ty. I am induced to lake the liberty to enclone you a copy of a letter From Mr. Jencrsou to me - - - j on the ubiect cf slavery. I avail myself nf this occasion to render my refpectful lomplirnrnTs to Mrs. Clay, and to renew to you assurances of my high respect and regard. EDWARD COLES. To Ilm. lltnry Clay, Lexington, Ky. Mo.micello, August 25,"1S14. DiCaj: Sin: Your faor of July 31st was duly received, and wus read with particular pleasure. The sentiment breathed through tlio whole do honor to both the head and heart of the writer. Mine on the subject of the slavery of negroes have long since been in possession f the public, and time has only served to give them stronger root. The love of justice and the lave of country plead equally the cause of these people, and it is a mortal reproach to us that they should have pleaded it so l"iig in vain, and should have produced not a single effort nay, I fear, not much serious willingness to relieve them and ourselves from our present condition of moral and political reprobation. From those of the former generation who were in the fullness of age when I came into public lif which was while our controver.-y with England was on paper only, I soon saw that nothing was to be hoped. Nursed and educated in the daily habit of seeing the degraded condition, both bodily aud mental, of these unfortunate beings, not uflecting that that degradation" was very much the work of themselves and their fathers, few minds had yet doubted but that they were as legitimate subjects of properly as their horses or cattle. The quiet and monotenous course of colonial life had been disturbed by no alarm and little reflection on the value of liberty ; and, when alarm was taken at an enterprise on their own, it was nut easy to carry them the whole length of the principles which thev invoked for themselves. In the first or second session ot the Legislature after I became a member, I drew to this ßubiect the ottcntion of Col. Eland, one of the oldest, ablest, and most respected members, and he undertook to move for certain moderate extensions of the protection of 'the laws to these people. I seconded hia motion, and, as a younger member, was more spared in the debate ; but he was denounced as an enemy to his country, and wa3 treated with the greatest indecorum. From an early stage -of our Revolution, other and more distant duties were assigned me, fo that horn that time till my return from Europe in 1769, and, I may say, till I returned to reside at home in lSU'J, . had little opportunity of knowing the progress o public sentiment here on this subject. I had always hoped that the younger ceneration, receiving their early impressions after the flames of liberty had been kindled in every breast, and had become as it were the vital spirit of every American, and the generous temperament of youth, analogous to the motion "of their blood, and above the suggestions ot uvance, would have sympathized with oppression wherever found, and proved their love of liberty beyond their own 6hare of it. But my intercourse with them since my return has not been sufficient to ascertain that thoy had made towards this point the progress I had hoped. Your solitary but welcome voice is the first which has brought this sound to my ear, af.d I have considered the general silence v.'hicii prevails on this subject as indicating an apathy unfavorable to our hopes. Yet the hour of Emancipation is advancing in the march of Time It will come; and; whether brought on by the generous energy of our own minis or by the bloody process of St. Domingo, excited ni.d conducted by the power of our present enemy; if once EtaMoned permanently within our country, oering an asylum and arms to the oppressed, is a leaf ot our history not yet turned over. As to the method by which this difficult work i to be effected, if permitted to bo done by ourselves, 1 have seen no proposition so expedient, on the' whole, as that of emancipation of those born -utter a given day, and of their education and expatriation at i proper age. This would give time for a gradual ex tinction of that species of labor, and substitution of another, and lessen the seventy or tue shock which an operation so fundamental cannot fail to produce The idea of emancipating the whole at once, the old as well as the young, and retaining them here, is of thote only who have not the guide of either know ledge or experience on the subject. For men, probably of any color, but of this color "we know, brought up from their infancy without necessity for thought or forecast, arc, by their habits, rendered as incapable as children of taking care f themselves, and are extinguished promptly wherever industry is necessary for raising the young. In the mean time, they are pets in society by their idleness, and the ce predations to which this leads them. Their amalga mation with the other color produces a degradation to which no lover of his country, no lover of excel lence in the human character, can innocently con 6ent. I am sensiblo of the partialities with which you have hioked towards me, as the person wh3 should untertake this salutary and arduous work; but this my dear sir, is like bidding old Priam to buckle on the armor of Hector, ttrtmentibus cbvo Jiumeris et inutile ferrum cinni." No. I have over-lived the generation with which mutual labors and perils be gat mutual confidence and influence. This enter prise is fr the young for those who can follow it up. and bear it through to iu consummation. It shall have all my prayers, and these are the only weapons of an old man. But, in the mean time, are you right in abandoning this property, and your country with it ! I think not. My opinion has ever been, that, until more can be done for them, we should endeavor, with whom fortune has thrown on our hands, to foed and clothe them well, protect them from ill-usage, require such reasonable labor only as is performed voluntarily by freemen, and be led by no repugnances to abdicate them and our duties to them The Taws do not permit us to turn them loose, if that were for their good, and to commute them for other property is to commit them to those whose usage of them we cannot control. I hope, then, my dear sir you will reconcile yourself to your country and its unfortunate condition ; that you will not lessen its stock of sound disposition by withdrawing your por lion from the mass. That, on the contrary, you wil come forward in the public councils, become the mis sionary of this doctrine truly Christian, insinuate and inculcate it sottly but steadily through the medium o wntiner and conversation; associate others in your. labors, and, when the phalanx is farmed, bring on and press the proposition persevcringly until its ac complishtnent. It is an encouraging observation, that no pood measure was ever proposed which, if daily pursued, failed to prevail in the end. We have proof of litis iu the history of the endeavors in the british Parliament to Fuppress that very trade which brough this evil on us. And you will be supported by the religious precept, "Be not weary in well-doir.g." That your success may be as speedy and complete as it will be honorable and immortal consolation to yourself, 1 shall as fervently and sincerely pray as I assure you of my great friendship and respect. THO. JEFFERSON. Edward Coles, Esq. From the Augusta Age, Zth. Maine Election.

Pi osecutions to be Commenced in the name of Reli gion. The Triumvirate of Cardinals has instituted a com mission for the purpose of prosecuting the authors of tho outrages committed against religion during the revolutionary period. Rasterlon has assumed the command of the French army of occupation. State Officers. Four important offices are to be filled at the coming session of our State Legislature, Auditor and Treas urer of State, btate Frinter. and State Agent, tor Auditor, tho names of Dr. Ellis of Goshen, the able and faithful editor of the Goshen Democrat, and Msj. Danl. Mace, of Lafayette, who was an b!e and eflicient Democratic elector in 1843, are before the pub lic. Either of them is well worthy the office to which they aspire, and if elected the public interest committed to their care would be faithfully preserved. The name of ben. Reynolds, has a bo been spoken of in certain circles in connection with this office, but we have not yet seen his name in any of the prints. 'Gen. Drake is the only announcement that we have yet heard for Treasurer. Nothing has as yet been said in rela tion to the office of State Printer, but it appears to be a conceded point that the Messrs. Chapman, the able and efficient editors of our Democratic State organ, the '"State Sentinel" are to be the men for that situation. None are more competent, none arc more de serving. As to the office of Agent of State, we have heard of no one as yet spoken of as likely to bo on applicant. We will take the liberty of naming one without having consulted his wishes on the subject. We know him to bo well worthy the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens of Indiana, and with his commanding talents, gentlemanly, courteous demeanor and his professional skill as a lawyer, his appointment would reflect the highest honor to our young and growing State, among the eastern capitalists, as her representative and agent. We name A. P. Willard Esq., of New Albany for that office. Jrjfersontille True Republican. Doct. E. W. II. Ellis, Editor of the G ishen Democrat has been announced as a candidate for State Auditor. Maj. D. Mace has also been named for the same office. Both good Democrats, and deserve and we believe enjoy very fully the confidence of their political friends. Both have done good service in the Democratic ranks the labors of the former have been particularly arduous having for a long time been in control of one of the most efficient papers in the State. The Paoli Eagle puts Mr. B. R. Edmonston of Dubois, in nomination for State Treasurer. This gentleman is favorably known to the Democracy, and as the Eagle says that part of the State "has not had the honor of furnishing such au officer since Adam was a little boy," the application of the principle of rotation would not conflict with his claims. Messrs. Chnpmans & Spann of the Sentinel are named in different quarters for State Printers, and will be elected we presume almost by general consent. Franklin Examiner. In the last State Sentinel we see a notice that E. W. II. EHia will be a candidate for Auditor of State before the Legislature next winter. It is hardly necessary to say that we vote for bro. Ellis all the time, on one condition, viz: that he will illuminate the columns of the Gosh. Dem. frequently after he is ensconsed at Indianapolis in a Stote office. We don't like the idea that any Democrat has any better claims on an office than his fellow-laborer in the good cause only so far as he has better qualifications ; hut we think bro. E. ought to have the office. He is a poor devil cf an editor wields a pen as keen as though it had been intimately acquainted with a magic strop has beon for ten years giving Whiggery general and particular gosi lives in a county that is a perfect wheel horse of Democracy in the north it acquainted with the business of Auditor ''just like a b)k," and sees that things are posted up right in his department. Therefore we vote for him! Democratic. Pharos. Aupitob of State. We learn from the State Sonlinel that Dr. E. W. II. Ellis, editor of the Goshen Democrat, is a candidate for election by our next legislature to the office of Auditor of State. We have no doubt either of his merits or qualifications, and as some pntronage of the kind is considered to be justly due to the northern part of the State, we are decidedly in favor of the Doctor being elected to that office, and cannot for a moment doubt that the democratic members from this part of the State will give him their united support, and will receive the approbation of their constituents for so doing. We also learn from the C vingtun People's Friend that Hon. Dai iel Mace, of Tippecanoe, is regarded as a candidate. The candidacy will doubtless bo settled by a democratic legislative caucus. Valparaiso Observer. State Printer. The election of a State Printer will devolve upon tha next legislature, and ;f the democratic majority of twenty-four on joint ballot know what they are about they will give our friend Ciiafman, of the State Sentinel, a lift for that station. There is certainly no one moro deserving. . We are pretty sure Bartholomew county has two votes in reserve for him. Columbus Democrat. Oscar, King of Sweden, has turned teetotaler, and is sending teetotal missionaries throughout his co in, try, t show the blessings and benefits of temperance.

Cause ami Inflect. The correspondents of newspapers, dating from Europe, aecribe the failure of the late attempt tJ overthrow monarchies, to various and inconsistent causes. Oue ascribes the whole failure to the fundholders, or rather the "loan jobbers," another to the priests, another to the socialist?, another to the red republicans, a fifth to France, a sixth to England, a seventh to the United Sates. With the exception of the last, we believe that all had some share in the work, though probably the two first had the most. The "loan-jobbers" are an important class in Europe, and will continue to rule it so long as nations are in debt; and they will continue in debt so long as they maintain standing atmics. Every monarchy in Europe is in debt, far beyond its means of payment. Every one of them has repudiated in some mode, and not one of Ihcm has ever done what the United States have done, paid its debt. So lonir as these nations tolerate monarchies,

thfV tmiftt mnintfiin Rrmioc t!i. nrmia rftnno t . I be maintained without loans, and loan-jobbers will lend : an long &s interest can be paid. The loan-jobbers alone are few. A " house" in London, another in ' Paris, another in Vienna, another in Petersbu g, or ; Hamburg or Frankfort, constitute the majority of theee props to monarchies; and as lending to governments is the enurce of their immense weal b, they are directly interested in maintaining the rysiem. But while the jobbers are few, the fundholders are numerous; for the great houses are merely the commissioners through whom thousands and tens of thousands lend to governments. The great banker negotiated the loon, the holder of small sums, seeking investment, buys his hundreds or thousands ot a piemium, which is part of tbe banker's profit. Thu i3 almost every man or woman in Europe Im has money at interest, directly intre-ted in sustaining governments that daily i -.l out the substance of the toiling millions. The instruments of these great loan-jobbers ore national banks. They control these banks, and those banks control the governments. Thus the French government is at the mercy of the Rink of ParU, that of England at the mercy of tbo Bank of England, and so on. The system cannot endure forever, for the governments will finally be unable to pay interest, and will then be unable to borrow ; and then will come a violent revolution, passing through anarchy, blood and repudiation, to a reconstruction of society. The remedy is bad, as well as the disease. Can a peaceful remedy be found! If governments will disarm, and thus reduce their expenses, they will not only reduce their loors, but augment their reve nues; for a general disarming will restore to product ive industry the multitudes now maintained in idle ness, to enforce submission to taxation. But if they disarm.abandon mutual aggression and mutually guar on tee peace, the masses, leti at leisure to examine their own condition, will demand reformations, and reformations, seriously begun, will end in republican ism. Well! "To this conclusion must it come at last," and therefore Kings and privileged orders have the alternative of y ielding slowly through peace, or of striding to keep all with the certainty of losing all by violence. Which is be-t! Republicanism must come and through blood, or through peace, prosperity and Drosrress. Wise k intra will decide wisely, and the fools will be compelled to follow their example. But what must republicans do to accomplish this! They mutt dismiss all thought of force, make universal peace their fundamental rule, their first step, spread light as fast as they can, persevere and be patient, gain one thing at a time, and make it the lever for gaming something more. They were in a hurry, tried force and failed. Let thcin wait, try reason, end they will 6ucce d. Pa. ledger. High tlidding. It was the Pictorian guards, we believe, who, in the Light of Roman luxury, and decline of Roman strength, used to sell the privilege of wearing the imperial purple, to the man whose ambition ar.d wealth would instigate and enable him ti pay the highest price therefor. The same thing has been done in more secret ways from that time to this. Louis Phillippe's father tried it, but instead of gaining a crown on his head, he lost the head from his shoulders, and the crown descended to his eon. There is one advantage in this course, namely, that if the people are oppressed and fleeced, they have been paid beforehand, and hive no right to complain. We are awar that it has been customary formen in various parts of the old world to pay for the right to occupy a seat in Parliament, a pulpit in the church, or an office in the army. It must bo exceedingly gratifying to those who admire the manners and customs of the Europeans, to know that in the multiplicity of our imitations we have not overlooked this. The candidates for the important office of County Clerk in Chatauqae, have made the following liberal propositions to the voters of said County.

The Directors of the Washington Monument Association have requested some friend to the object in each State to procure from their quarries and forward to Washington City a block of stone or marble to be built into the monument. A correspondent of the Indiana Journal enquires whether Indiana has yet forwarded her block. Parke County Whig. We are in fr furnishing, or rather that "our crowds should furnish a suitable block. From a specimen of beautiful marble, represented to us a few years since as having been obtained iu Rush County, we infer that the Hoosiers can do it; and in no way better than by instructing their representatives to that effect. We also have the assurance of one of the best stone-cutter of the city or State, Mr. Highet, that he will dress, polish and letter it, as his share Can a better offer be made! If the State, or the people, do not think the subject worthy their attention, we recommend them to send a block anyhow the Blockhead of the Whig!

Anecdote of Kosciusko. The celebrated Polish General Kosciusko, wishing to send some bottles of good wine to a clergyman of Solothorn ; and as he hesitated to send them by Iiis servant. Ie6t he should smuggle a part, he pave the commission to a young man by the name of Zultr.er, and desired him to take the horse which he himself usually rode. Young Zultner, on his return, said to Kosciusko that he would rever ride his horse again, unless he gave his purse at the same time. Kosciusko asked him what he meant. He replied, "soon as a poor man on the road takes off his hat, and asks for charity, the horse immediately stands still ; and will not stir until something is given to the petitioner and as I had no money about me, I was obliged to make a motion, as if I were giving something, in order to satisfy the horse.

The teacher, a young lady, put the question to her scholar?, one morning, Who made you ! The oldest boy in the school could not tell, neither could any of the scholars, till she questioned the smallest and the youngest of the school. He answered promptly, that God made man.

Provided certain concessions be made by the Mexican Government in favor of the Indians for example, the possesion of i certain portion of territory on which they may devote themselves to sgriculture, and some othei stipulations be agreed to, England will engage to secure the cessation of hostilities and the restoration of amicable relations between the two races.
