'Governor Wrislit and the Pardoning Power, Wp nut ice thai cme anonymous writer in the True RepuMiran at JrfTcrsonville, is out over the signature of Justitia in whi Ii he pours a volume of abuse upon Governor Wright for the exercise of the Pardoning pver. Hecharges the Governor with pardoning a cnldblnndel murderer, w ho had been sentenced for life. We walked over to the Secretary's office, and osked for the pipers in the case referred to, and we are uro if the writer of the article were to read the papers on file be would as a gentleman, take bark all he has said in thi case. We were so much struck with the letter of Jurfge McDonald who presided at the trial of Richard Tew ell, the individual convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for life, that we have obtained a copy and now publieh the letter to the Governor entire.

These things ixiled diiing the werk fieri. us to, and up to I he reiy day of the h micide. Under thee eircum'tn'cr he went ti the town of Doveihill. A witness who mt him on the way was affiighied at his wild ai'd devilib I oks, and avoided comioir near him. In Deihill he went to the e'ocety of Ait Lonl (the deceased.)

Besides, t is appearance al the trial, was, tj my mind, that of a crazy man. lie had a wild stare and other indications of mental alienation. I had Ot t, and yet have not any d.iubt of his insaoltv.

Daring ten years on the Bench of this Circuit, I have not, I think, reel mmended a half a dvzta men to ex cutu e mercy. You know. I have acted with fiimnen in mat'eis of thi kind, al least. I have all along thought that our Governors have been quite too meicifal. But this is an extiaoidinary ca.e one in which public men ought to lake the responsibility. The man, I am tare, ought to be f aidonrd j and I feel confident that in tecommending t jcur clemency his unfoituoate ease, I shall not have addiessed your humanity in van-. Very lespcctfully, DAVID Ale DONALD. The Governor had this letter together with the application of the members of the Bar, the Prosecuting Attorney, some five hundred of the citizens of Martin County, the witnesses, and parties in the trial, all asking the Governor to grant the Pardon. Knowing the character of Judge .McDonald, his strict regard for the due administration of the laws, and his extreme caution in interfering in any application for pardon, we should not hare hesitated to grant the par don cpon his statement of the case. This is the cae however, that Gov. Wright in the plenitude of his mercy ' did extend pardon to, in the langungo of the writer in the JefTersonville True Republican. We have looked over the pardons granted by Gov. Wright, and we can say to the writer of the article, that in every ease the papers on file show the names of the: Judges of the Court, or Jurors, who convicted the in- j dividual, together with the names of hundreds of citizens of the county, iuclur'ing in every case but one, the Prosecuting Attorney who prcaecntcd the person asking for pardon. We have no doubt hut what tho pardoning; power is abused, and it roay be that Gov. Wright has granted it in ea9C3, when it ahoulJ have been refused ; but if to, others, who ought to have known better, have mis-repreee-nted the fscts to the Governor. We remember I) have heard Gov. Wright speak of the pardoning p ver at the time he commenced the discharge of the duties of hin office, and of tho remark be then msde, which struck ui w ith some force at the tjme That he believed in every application for pardon when granted, the Governor should publish monthly o? fteuer, the number of pardons grantcrf, with a statement of the fact before hiin upon which the pardon was granted, that the public might know ihe facts of each case.' ... W ean siy further to Justitia (for we are inclined to think, from the tenor of his article, that ho has some interest in publishing it) ihat ho does not know Gov. Wright if he supposes his ankle will hereafter have any icfluence upon the course of the Governor. Ja tha language of Gov. Wrghl, when he rtfu-ed to

grant a pardon some weeks ago, being aked why he refused, replied, ''my conscience telU me it is wrong.' We have no doubt but Gov. Wright i frequently enibarmssfd with applications for parj jti, aud let tho number be many or few, l.e w ill d- in every cne-e what he ihtnks ii right. This is our opinion of the man, aud euch puMic.-itniis as that of Justitia will have no other efTfct thin that of publishing to tho world false statements; that he bhould, before he makes such assertions, obtain a copy of the piper on file in the office of the Secretary of Stale, and not abuse a public ouicer, until he knows the facts in the case.

County Convention. We publish in another column the full official' report ,f the proceeding of the Democratic County Convention, held iu thi cily on Saturday last. The Court House was crowded, every township being respectably represented. We have rarely had a better convention in any respect. Great harmony existed throughout all the proceedings, notwithstanding the targe number of candidates to be disposed of; and if the same good epi tit prevails among the people until August, the nominations of the Convention will be triumphautly sustained. Union Meeting. We are gratified to learn that Gov. Crittenden of Ky. has consented to accept the invitation of Gov. Wrigh, to visit this State, and that he will probably arrive here on the 26th i f May. It is contemplated to hold a Union Mtetin on the 29th of May, a pre liminary meeting to make arrangements for which, will be held at the Court House, Indianapolis, on the 4lh of Mjj. It is proposed tu invi;c the attenlance of other distinguished gentlemen, as well ae Gov. Crittenden. OCT Our neighbor Ex-Gov. Wallace may perhaps smile at the following : we ahould crotr, perhaps, if such an effort were necessary to do any b dy good. "Hsns and Chickens." Laugh as much as you miy about a farmer's paying his taxes from the products of his barn yard, but here is an estimate which shows that r.'es are annually consumed in the United State to the value of $2,500,000, to say nothing of chickens. , Mr. Burke, in his last Report from the Tatent Office, estimates fifty eggs for the consumption of each individual in the L'nited Stales, and each e-gg is worth half a cent. This will mako eleven hundred million eggs consumed, and five nnd a half millions of d.dlra paid out for them. What do you think of that ! D'n't that old hn begin to look respectable in your mind's je!

Q7We copy the following significant paragraph from the N. Y. Tribune : The Boston Daily Advertiser contains a letter of commendition addressed to Jlr. Webster in reference to his late forcible anti-Wilmot Proviso Speech, and signed by eight hundred influential citizens of Boston and its vicinity, anvmg whom we note the names of Thomas H. Perkins, Wm. Appleton, Postmaster Hayden, O. A. Brownaon, Francis Bovven, Hon. Rufus Choatc, and most of the heavy merchants and capitalists of the City of Notions. It is a most respectable testimonial. The same paper that contains this tribute to Mr. Webster's Speech announces the defeat of the whig parly in Connecticut. The two testimonials seem to about balanco each other. 07-During the late session of the Mississippi Leg. Mature, Governor Quilman vetoed between thirty and forty bills. The exact number could not be ascertained, aa several bills, at the close of the session, were retained by the Governor, without his approbation, and did not become laws, owing to the lack of time. There were sixteen vetoes sent in on one day. Three or four bills were repassed by both Houses by the constitutional majority, notwithstanding the veto of the Executive. What will the Whigs say to this wholesale vetoing 1 Glory.

Finde hd moved to refer to a seiect comtmttee of ihirtetn, with i-.:nicii.ns for the settlement of all questions arising out of the inetitutkn of slavery. To this motion, Mr. Baldwin had moved an amendment providing that the question of admitting California should not be connected with the subject. Upon the aa.enduient, Mr. Jnton briefly addressed the Senate, tating focts in opport of the position assumed by him that in sixty tears of lcitIation Pntifrrrca l,at nvor I. fl.ro .tonl.l tl.u ait nial.oi if .

Uuiforma was a territory, and could have no rights a. a State until Cma grcss had mad her such. He hoped the Union could be preserved. Mr. Douglass, for the purpose of gplting a test question, moved to lay the whole subject on the table, but withdrew his motion for Mr. Webster, who ex pre.-sed his readiness to vote fr the committee, but

Mr. Foole modified his motion by substituting for the words "a plan of compromise" the words "a 6cheme of adjustment." After some further remarks by Messrs. Benton and King, Mr. Dayton renewed the motion to lay Mr. Foote's motion on the table, which was rejectedyeas 20, nays 29. House. The census bill was received from the Senate and referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Bayly, from the Commit lee of Ways and Mean, reported the army and Navy appropriation bill for the ensuing fiscal year. Mr. Potter, from the Committee on Post Offices and Post Rondi, reported a bill establishing muil routes in California. Oregon, New Mexico, and Minnesota. Mr. Burt, from the Committee on Military Affairs, rf ported a bill increasing the number of commissaries in the army. Mr. C ibb, of Alabama, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported a bill granting bounty lands to soldiers of the war of 1312, soidie s of the Indian war under Gen. Wayne, and of the Creek and Florida wars. Washington, April 12. Senate. Mr. Denton gave notice that if the business of yesterday should be resumed he had an amendment to offer, and perhaps some additiontl ones. The amendments were read. They present nine different propositions, the object of which, is to pre vent the connection of the question of the admission of California with other matters, or making it dependent upon any other subject. Mr. Foote's motion for a select committee of thirteen was laid upon the table temporarily. The deficiency bill was then taken up, and after a lengthy debate, an amendment striking out the appropriations for the erection of wings to the patent office was offered, but without coming to any definite conclusion, they adjourned till Monday. House. The bill giving to the widow of General Worth a pension of $50 per month was taken up. Mr. Jones moved to amend by making provision al?o for pensions for the widows of privates who died in Mexico. The Speaker decided said amendment out of order, in which decision he was sustained by the House. Mr. Jones said he should oppose the bill because it was in direct violation of the general laws on the subject of pe.isions. Mr. MiCIernand rose to a question of order. The Speaker decided that no debate was allowable; the bill was finally laid over. Mr. Burt, chairman of the committee on the Galphin claim, having asked for further instructions, stated in behalf of the committee, that they did not ask for any enlargement of their duties, aa they had seen" nothing so far as they had progressed to induce them to apply for any enlargement. of their powers, but the committee were of opinion that the resolution under which they were acting restricted their enquiry to the relation and conduct of the Secretary of War in the matter, and did not authorise them to enquire whether there was anything unusual o improper, in allowing interest on said claim. ' He therefore felt it his duty to protest against any such inference being drawn from their application. ' This was the duty he had been charged to perform by the committee, and in the language of the report. "he asked tor the instructions of the House as to the interpretation of the language of the resolution and the duty of the committee ; who are content to perform the duty as defined by the resolution, but wish distinctly to be understood as not asking that their duties be increased or powers bo enlarged." A long debate ensued of a desultory character, and sundry resolutions end amendments were offered, all of which were rejected, when finally Mr. Harris's resolution, as amended,' was passed, viz : "That the select committee appointed to investigate the Galphin claim be instructed to make a full enquiry and repoit to the House the origin and nature of the same, and the circumstances of the prosecution of it before the Department of the Government and the passage of the law authorising its payment ; the names of the agents who have so prosecuted and urged the same; the amount paid on said claim with the interest, and whether the same was paid in conformity with law and precedent ; the names of the individuals to whom paid ; the amount received by each ; how said interest originated, and of all matters in any way pertaining to the subject, and that the committee have power to send for persons and papers," and the House then adjourned. Calhoun's Successor. Washington, April 11th. Upon receiving the news of Calhoun's death, Gov. Seabiook wrute to Gen. James Hamilton tendering hira the vacant seat in the U. S. Senate. Gen. Hamilton accepted the appointment in a long letter written in the genuine alarmist spirit, nnd talking about the necessity of the cecession of Carolina from the Union, unless the Southern Slates could remain in it as equals, &.e. A subsequent letter from Gen. Hamilton, however, declined the office in consequence of some doubts existing as to his residence, as he had taken a house in Savannah, for the psst winter, although Lis fixed home was in Ulunion, öl,.

Sin You wi'l please lay the enclosed communication befure the budy over wbicb you have the honor to pre.ide. Respectfully, S. V. B NOEL. Secretary of the Marion County Whig Central Committee. Gentlemen rf the Democratic County Convention! The Central C immitti-e of the Whig party of the county of Maiion, i npressed with the belief that the good of the community would be best piomoted by the selection of a compromise ticket to be inn for Delegates to the State Con vention to icvise aod amend the Constitution, and acting in accordance with what they believe to be the wish of the Whig paity of Marion county, whom they represent, would respectfolly ptopose to the Democratic Convention, this day assembled to nominate candidates for the several offices lo be filtid in August next, that they (the Democrats) should nominate two candidates only, and that the Whig couvention.to be assembled on this day week, shall nominate two other candidates, which four candidates shall teceive the joint support of the two parlies. Or if our Democratic fiiends. agreeing to the piinciple of a compromise by which each party shall have an equal number, shall suggett any other tusl and practicable mode of carrying out the de sign, we pledge ourselves, on behalf of the Whig party to arcrde to the proposition. Believing that an arrangement, such- as is. above suggest ed. would accoid with the views of a large majnity of the voters of Marion county, without distinction of party, that it is honorable and fair, and that it would be promotive of hannuny and good fetling in our community, we make the preposition in good faith, and respectfully icquest that oar democratic fiiends give it a careful contideiatioD.

Spann,) Secretaries. The Gatnhiii Claim. It is some time since we stopped thinking or maintaining everything right that is done by men of our own party or wrong that is done by opponents. The vernal season in which that ins right in our eyes has passed away, and the conviction that there are two sides to Political as well as to other questions has been pretly firmly established in our mind. Having long and justly reproached our antagonists for their slavish, unquestioning support of whatever was commended to them as 'Democracy, we mean not to stand condemned by our own doctrines, but to speak the truth without partiality or concealment. 'The Galphin Claim,' so called, has been and still ia very justly the theme of public inquiry and discussion. So far as the facia are developed, they seem to bo substantially as follows: 1. That this is a very old claim, (none the worse for that,) trowing out of certain transactions to which one George Galphin, certain Indians and the Royal Government of Georgia were parties, in or near 1773. before the breaking out of the Revolutionary War;2. That the State of Georgia never recognized nor provided for the claim which was originally for lands, but, having disposed of most of her wild lauds to the federal Government, turned the claimant over to that Government for satisfaction; 3. That this claim, though so venerable and well backed, never was admitted by our Government till 1S4Ö or thereabouts, when a bill was got through both Houses directing the treasury Department to audit and settle it on terms of justice and equity; 4. That it eas so audited and Fettled under Secretary Walker, and the full estimated amount of tlie originnl claim paid over to the heirs or a.igns of the

cob P. ChaVmanWj claimant, the sum being about 19.000; , odd of Perry tuwSa-,' Tl,at " V reted but the claim

rum proecuieu tor nnrjworu reviveuy iir interest on the amount so accorded for tho seveniy-six years intervening since the origin f the demand ; 6. That ex-Gov. George T. Crawford of Georgia, now U. S. Secretary at War, was formerly Ihe agent of the claimants in prosecuting their claim, though he no longer appears as such on the record; 7. That Mr. Meredith, Secretary of the Treasury, directed the proper officer of his Department to re-examine this claim for interest, and that officer (Controller Whittlesey) "did so, and reported that there was notbilig due the claimant, according to the principles established by the Government for the settlement of claims ; 8. That Mr. Meredith permitted or directed an appeal to be taken from this decision to the Attorney General (Reverdy Johnson) who reported in fator of the validity and equity of the claim; whereupon, 9. Secretary Meredith directed its payment, and it has been paid, to the amount of some 190,000. Such are the essential facts in the case, as report- ! ed in the newspapers. e do not see them directly confronted nor materially softened. Yet we insiat that the fair fame of the parlies concurring in or con- . niving at the passage of this second claim imperar ' . r . and uncorrected. Mr. Controller Whittlesey disal lowed the amount; Mr. Meredith referred it to the Attorney-General who reversed the Controller's decision, and thereupon the account was ordered to be passed by the Secretary of the Treasury. It is idle for the laws to provide auditing offices, and the President to select upright and capable men to fill them, if their righteous decisions are tobe overruled and the public chest stove in after this fashion. We await wfth anxiety some full explanation of this Galphin busine. If it can be cleared up, no one will welcome the fact with a heartier pleasure than we ' but if it cannot be, it is morally impossible that Ihe Cabinet should remain unchanged. The public confidence cannot be commanded by men so glaringly unfaithful or grossly incompetent, as some one must have been, or this revived claim, as it now appears, could never have been passed. X.
