The next year's papers from Indianapolis will be more interesting than any previous period of equal extent, since the organization of the State Government. By subscribing now, you will derive the benefit of the election news previous to the August election be informed, at an early day, of the result of the election get the proceedings of the State Convention, reported by competent reporters, and the proceedings of the next Legislature. In addition to this, you will be informed of what transpires in the winding up of the present session of Congress, (and there has been nothing dune yet) as well as the whole of the next. It is an interesting crisis in the affairs of the Slate as well as the nation, and every good citizen should take a newspaper we had like to have said no patriot whould refuse to do so. We are aware that. owing to the failure of the wheat crop last year, in Indiana, the farmers are scarce of money; but prospect look brighter for the present season, and there is oo one but can spare a dollar aod a half and the Sentinel can be procured at that price where a club of ten is raised. We are daily in the receipt of clubs and have no complaint to make of our friend; and we are determined, bo far as we are patronized, to spare no expense to make the Sentinel equal to any paper in the West. A portion of our new materials have arrived, and as soon as the new office is fitted up, the paper will appear in an entirely new dress. We shall, also, in a short time, pay greater attention to the Literary department of the paper, and devote a portion of it to agricultural articles. The publisher Intends to watch the markets, and will keep his readers well posted up as to the prices of the leading staple articles of produce and merchandize in the eastern, western and southern cities. There is no man who will take hold of the matter but can a! once raise a club of ten subscribers. The publisher is a native born Housier, and is determined to stand up for his State, and all her interests, not at Indianapolis alone; but throughout the whole State every county having an equal share of bis regard and he appeals with confidence to the sons of Indiana, either native or adopted, to give the Sentinel a lift. As we remarked before, we aim at a large subscription; and, from the signs of the times, we think we shall have it. Our acknowledgments are due to the press of Indiana, in many instances of both political parties, for their kind welcome. We are pleased to see that the attempts to excite prejudice against the paper under its present editor, in advance, has proved entirely fruitless. The people will do right. August Election. Are our friends throughout the State arming themselves for the contest in August! The election is an important one. One hundred and fifty delegates to the Constitutional Convention are to be elected, and Senators and Representatives to the State Legislature. On the latter will devolve the duty of electing a United States' Senator, in the place of Mr. Bright, whose term of service will expire with the present Congress. Democrats ahoold remember that they vote for principles, and not fur men; and that it is much better to vote for a personal enemy, who will maintain and ctrrj out good measures, than a personal friend whose vote may fasten on the country bad ones. Beware of Whig propositions to swap. By this system the Whigs often secure a member of the Legislature, aud, in return, the Democrats get a county officer. Remember that upon the rirsult of the August elections depends the political character of a United States' Senator for six years. Indiana is a Democratic State, and it would be a burning shame for her Democracy to suffer themselves to be defeated, either by whig intrigue, or by their own divisions, or by their own apathy. The Whigs would willingly yield the Convention to secure the Legislature, and the election of a Galphin Senator. We again repeat, that there is no safety, except in voting the whole ticket. Take not the pledge of any whig that he will, if elected, vote for a Democrat, or that he will vote for II r. Owen, Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Bright, Col. Gorman, or any other Democrat. The man we want is the nominee of the party. Personal preferences are well enough, until caucus nominations are made. After that, union is the only road to success. The Democratic masses are right, and they have the power to make the politicians do right. Let them exercise iL The Democratic Convention of Noble county has Dominated David B. Herriman as a candidate for Delegate to the Convention, and Abram Pancake, for Representative, They will no doubt be elected, and we shall again bo greeted with the laughing counte nance of our old friend Herriman in the halls of legislation. The Albion Observer says, it is a source of pecu liar satisfaction, also, that the proceedings of the nominating convention were characterized by perfect harmony and good feeling. The nominations were honorably, fairly, and legitimately efTectcd. We are confident that not the slightest cause exists for discontent or dissatisfaction. The editor of the Lafayette Journal, in his paper of Monday last, says, from his own observation, and from extensive inquiry, he is satisfied that tho coin ing crop of wheat, in some sections, will be better than the average crop for the last five years. If too much rain does not fall so as to produce rust, the middle of July will ponr out a richer harvest to our farmers than thy have had for many a summer time. The stalk is not so rank, but .the head is large and full, and will give an abundant yield.

The President's l'hiii. Thin is a short text ; but it affords matter for a long sermon. It illustrates the double dealing and the hypocrisy of th Whig party. By thin declamation wo mean the leaders of the party, and not the honest men who voted for Gen. Taylor. The President recommends the admission of California a a Slate, and to leave the Territories of New Mexico and Utah without Government. All tili i country was acaoi red from

Mexico by the treaty of Guadnloupe Hidalgo. By a provision 1n that treaty the Government of the United ; Mates i j bound to give t the inhabitants such governmental protection as their situation required, as pood, at h-nt, as lint extended t Louisiana and Florida. H,i l In Government fulfilled that treaty stipulation! Territorial Governments were immediately organized for both Luiiana and Florida; civil , Governor and Judgs Hire appointed, the laws faithfully administered, and the rights of persons and properly protected. This protection has not been extended to the terriloiies acquired from Mexico. No territorial government! have been formed, as the people had a right to expect and dtunand. Heretofore it has been the just and humane policy of the General Government, to bear th expenses of the infant rolonies during their minority. In some cases territorial Governments have existed for more than twenty yei.rs. Congress are now making appropriitions, from the National Treasury, to erect public buildings and make roads in Oregon and Minnesota, appropriations which could not be mad were they Slates. Why have California, New Mexico and Utah been neglected ! The answer is easily given; the 'i!mot Proviso and slavery in general, have prevented Congress from acting upon the subject. Members of both political parties hate been timid ; they have not marchcdvup boldly and met the question as statesmen should have done. Two years ago the Senate passed what was called the Clayton Compromise bill, which, if it had become a law, would have given governments to Culifomia and New Mexico; and, upon the platform of non-intervention, the slavery question would have been put to rest. This bill was however defeated in the House by a union of the Whig and abolition votes. General Cass, the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, had defined his position. The resolutions of the Convention by which he was nominated were btforgr the country, Gei. Taylor was the candidate of the Whigs. He was not committed on the question, and no expression of opinion was given by the Philadelphia Convention. It was necessary for the Whigs to defeat the compromise, and keep open the slavery question as a political element to defeat Gen. Cass. In the North the Whigs raised the standard of Taylor and freedom." In the South his three hundred slaves were pointed to as an evidence of the security of their peculiar institution. By this sort of political chicanery he was elected. The slavery agitation had performed its mission; and no sooner was he installed into office, than his wily cabinet commenced plotting some mode of avoiding responsibility upon a question which he could not act on, without showing that either the North or the South had been deceived. This could only be done by inducing the people of theso territories to organize State Governments, and demand admission into the Union. For this purpose political missionaries were sent to California and New Mexico. . In California, the people seeing that Congress had failed to give them territorial governments, were either compelled to submit to the tyranny of military rule, or to organize, at their own expense, a State Government. The President, in his annual message recommends the admission of California, and not only non-intervention, but non-action, so far as the territories are concerned. He not only adopts the Democratic doctrine of non-intervention, but goes farther than any northern Democrat dared to have gone, and recommends that no governments may be given to the unprotected people of the territories. Military despotism may put its iron heel on the unprotected. The farmer's flocks may be driven off and his innocent wife and children murdered, or carried into hope'ess captivity by the savages, rather than the President be compelled to show his hand. In his message submitting the Constitution of California he says: Seeing, then, that the question which now excites such painful sensations in the country, will, in the end, certainly be settled by the silent effect of causes independent of the action of Conjrres, I again sub mit to your wisdom the policy, recommended in my annual message, of a waitinjrthe salutary operation of i t i . l i 1 . i - i . t uieeo caused, ueueving we eiian inus avoia me creation of geographical parties, and secure the harmony of feeling so necessary to the beneficial action of our political system. Here is a distinct avowa! of his do-nothing policy, The Wilmot proviso has been defeated in the Senate. It cannot pass that body. Colonel Benton, a few days since, in a most emphatic manner said it "trus not only dead but rotten." Why not recommend the formation of territorial Governments, by which the people would be protected, leaving out that apple of discords! The reason is obvious. The proviso will be introduced and his political friends will have to vote upon it. This the cabinet who control the Administration, desire to avoid. They wish to save the whigs in Congress from the indignation of the South if their friends vote for it, or the frowns of their deceived constituents, if they vote against it. Thus, by this temporizing policy the people are left under the very worst form of Government, a military despotism. Governments which were organized during the war by the direction of President Polk, for which he was denounced by the whigs, as deserving impeachment and a majority of Whig members of Congress were in favor of preferring articles of impeachment agains him for the act, although admitted to be a war meas. ure now the same party are in favor of continuing these very Governments in time of peace. When the Military Governments were established, the country had been conquered, but not acquired by treaty, and therefore Congress had no power to organize civil Governments. To the people of New Mexico the President says, if you do iiot choose lo form a state Government, and bear the burdens yourselves, you must live under military rule; and the very men who rode into Congress under the Wilmot Proviso howl, and anti-slavery agitation, who denounced Gen. Cass and his non-intervention doctrines, are now sustaining the President in his non-action and non-intervention policy. The Wilmot proviso was a nice thintf as long oi it answered their purpose toembarass the Administration of Mr. Polk, and to form a great element to defeat the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. They are in power they have the responsibility of the Government, am4 now their organs play a different tune. "Let the people form their own Governments, and if they desire slavery, and make such provisions in their constitutions, it will be no objection to their admission" this is their cry now. To accomplish this they do not march boldly up to the question, and give tho people civil protccion, leaving them to establish their own institutions but dodge it( by doing nothing. Was there ever a more glaring case of political hypocrisy ! The President's policy is the only one that can ever send slavery to Nev Mexico. Texas claims ihe wholo country, east of the Rio Grande.. Major "Neighbors is already in that country organizing counties, under the direction of the Legislature of Texas. Col. Monroe the military Governor is directed to offer no resistance, and wherever Texas' laws are ex'.ended slavery is established; and onca established cannot soon be abolished. The case of Utah is still stronger. Some thirty thousand

Mormons hare settled in th beautiful valley of tlx; Salt Lake. To them no protection has been xt-nd-d;

not even a military force. They are stronger in num. (bylerin Church, Indianapolis, previous t the deparbers than Minnesota; but not stron enough to form a Jure of the Rev. L. G. Hay and Lady, fr Allahabad,

State Government. They are without protection and without law. Thvy reside on ihe great highway to California. By many they are regarded as a bad people. If so, then the greater the necessity of extending l over them the strong arm of the law. But the great est t-bjevtion was the one represented a few days since on the fl-mr of the Snate, of the five bleedm wounds on the body politic. By admitting California and inking no other action on the slave question, cue of Miese wounds is closed up, whiUt the rest are left to bleed and fester. This miserable question prevents Congress doing any business. It rises like a spectre at every corner; and it docs eem to us, that th voice of all good men and lovers t.f ihe union, its peace and harmony are ready at once to say Let it be settled settled in any way, rather than eternally tobe left open, and brought as an element into the next Presidential election, and make ll.al great contest, instead of being a political, a sectional question. The "Southern Press." We have received, in Indianapolis, the first number of this paper, and a poor concern it is, at least in appearance. Eery thing connected with sectional divisions in our coun try, calculated to alienate one portion of the Union from the other, can find no countenance or support rotn us. The editor, Elwuod Fisher, we consider a fit instrument for such an undertaking. A Quaker in Cincinnati, who was a spoilt boy because somebody said he was smart a pretended Democrv.t in Indiana, an associate editor with Prextice in Louisville, Kentucky, and a Captain Dalgettv in poli tics in Washington, l.e is certainly a fit instrument lo take the lead in forming a sectional party, so much deprecated by Washington. But we will not war wuh the dead. The sickly looks of the paper is the best evidence that its existence is short-lived. lis first appearance shows that it is gasping for breath, and will soon breathe its last, and the editor's cry wilt soon be. "link ! from tha Toombs a doleful souni !" There was some curiosity to see the paper in Washington, on the' morning of its publication, as will be seen by the following extract f.om a letter of the correspondent of the Baltimore Republican: The Southern Press" sold like hot cakes this morning. 1 his was natural, but the run will not continue long. The slovenly appearance of the sheet has d'sappointed the public not a little. It is said the Committee of Publication are already in in a stew, owing to a rumor afloat, this morning, that Mr. Sage, one of the publishers, was an abolitionist. as well as an "unwavering friend" of the administration. I believe that it is connected in some way. with the German Whiff orjran here, but from all I can learn, the nenrest the man has come to abolition ism, was in sustaining Thadeus Stevens' election to Cong reus. It is said that he went all the wav to his home in Lancaster, to vote for "Old Thad." But you can foresee the effect of such an imputation in connection with a paper which is proclaimed to be the very ne plus ultra of Southern guardians to sustain w hich even the Union, with all its faithfulness to the South, is to be discarded as unreliable! Owen on Punk Roads. The Hon. Robert Dale Owen of this State has written a work on Plank roads, which has just issued from the press of the enterprising publishers, Messrs. Norman & Kent of New Albany. We have not had a sight of the work, but wo have no doubt U is just such a one as will be very interesting at this period. The Louis ville Democrat contains the following iiotice: This is a neat little volume for sale atHagan's de pot, and contains all that the practical man needs on a subject which is now attracting so much attention among the friends of internal improvement. The work gives a history of plank roads iu this country, their advantages, aud the mode of construction. The style is simple and perspicuous. The intelligent reader will find in it all the information he wants. After reading it he can superintend a work of the kind with little danger of error. Indeed, we don't know but plank roads will almost build themselves hereafter. Tho cheapness and superiority of these roads are eo fully illustrated, as to commend them to universal attention. We intended to make some ex : tracts from this work, but we can't well detatch anv part from its context. Get the book and read it. It is short, clear, and comprehensive; containing neither too much nor too little. Dry as the subject may seem, you will be entertained, rather than fatigued with the reading. The author Robert Dale Owen. has bestowed much care and attention upon this sub ' jett, and no man is more competent to accomplish . . . - . r r me lasK lie lias perlormed. j Jeffersonville and Columbus Railroad. The Jefferson ille Republican says, the locomotive is now funning on the railroad, and performs, admirably The rails are being laid as fast as possible. Fellow citizens, unite as one man and push forward this work Let every man do his best. Subscribe more if you can, and pay promptly what you have subscribed, and you will soon see Jeffersonville rise superior to al opposition. i.Mow is tne lime to put lortli your strength in an enterprise that will richly repay you for your outlay. You have a judicious set of men at the head of the company, and you may rest assured that the utmost economy will be studied, and the money expended to the best advantage. You need no long er doubt tho final completion of the road. It is no longer a matter of uncertainty. The directory wish to reach Columbus by January 1852. If you furnie them with the means they can do it. Grand Railroad Barbecue. The New Albany and Salem railroad, or rather we should now call it the New Albauy and Lafayette railroad is progressing finely. The Public Ledger says "the road will be completed to Providence by tho last of this week. We understand that tho citizens of Providence and the surrounding country are determined to provide a grand barbecue on the 4th of July, which will doub'less be attended by a very large number of persons from Floyd, Clark, Washington Orange, Lawrence, and perhaps other counties on the line of the road. The citizens of Salem, we understand, have determined to do their fuil share in getting up this feast in honor of the day and of this important work. They will be present in very large numbers on the occasion. New Albany, we can promise, will be there with hundreds, if not thousands of her citizens of both sexes. We understand that there will be six passenger cars ready for the occasion, and that they will make as many trips as possible, throughout the day, bo as to accommodate all who miy desire to ride on the road or visit the city." The Washington Union of the 19th inst. says, we understand that many of the Senators who are friends of the scheme of accommedation now pending before the Senate had a free conference the day previous, and the result was a more decided confidence in Ihe passage of the bill. Several gentlemen avowaid their determination to support the measure, whose course had not bos ii sufficiently decided to admit of positive calculation. It :s now estimated that the bill will pass the Senate by a majority of from six to eight. The question, however, will scarcely bo taken before the end of next week. The editor of the Covington Friend" says, the proxpect for wheat is more flattering than he reported it two weeks since. The heads sre a little too short, but in most fields tbey are well filled. He now anticipates more than an average crop. QrGeu. Wool is named as a democratic candidate for Governor of the State of New York.

Farewell Missionary 3Icc(iii. The Farewell Missionary Meeting at the First Pres-

India, took place on Monday evening last, agreeably to appointment. Tl-e different congregation of the city had been invited, aud the body of the church aod galleriea were crowded to overflowing. What gave an additional interest to the occasion, it was so arranged that tho exer. ise of the evening commenced with the marriage of Mr. Hay t Miss Makv Lx.ndis, a young lady of this city. The ceremonies were performed by th Rev. Mr. Mills, of Iii First Presbyterian Church, in a very appropriate manner; after which he nind an address very suitable to the occasion, novel as it was lo many that wero present. He was followed by Mr. Ciiarlks Axtell, of this city, who, in a very eloquent manner, depicted the gloriou missionary enterprise in which the young couple were about to engage, assuring them that they would be kindly remembered by the whole community in which they had lived that they were under the protection of the Almighty, who commands the winds and the waves, and they should fear no danger. The Choirs of the different churches had assembled in tho gallery of the church, and sang with much feeling, . - Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian lore; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. "When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain, But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again." The Rev. Mr. Babb, of the Second Presbyterian Church then made an address, depicting the important objects of Missionary efforts, calculated to allay the regrets of frient!s at parting although mother and daughter would cwn be fifteen thousand miles asunder; when the Choir, with great animation, sang the Mis sionary's Farewell, from which we extract two verses: "Yes my native land, I love thee, All thy scenes, I love them well. Friends, connections, happy country, Can I bid you all farewell? Can I leave you, Far in heathen lands to dwell? ; Bear ma on, thou restless ocean, Let the winds my cauvass swell, Heaves my heart with warm emotion, While I go far hence to dwell: Glad I bid thee, Native land! Farewell, Farewell!" The young Missionary, Mr. Hay, then mai'e a very feeling response to the addresses said he had made up hid mind to the work in which he was about to en gage, with deliberation, and invoked the prayers of) is friends, when he should be far away. He was proceeding in a very eloquent strain, when he sat down, entirely overcome by his feelings. The Choir then sung "When shall we meet again? Meet ne'er to sever? When will peace wreath her chain Round us forever? Our hearts will ne'er repose Safe from each blast that blows In this dark vale of woes, Never, no, never! "When shall love freely flow, Pure as life's river? , When shall sweet friendship glow, Changeless forever? Where joys celestial thrill, -Where bliss each heart shs.ll fill, And fears of parting chill Never, no, never! "Soon shall we meet again, Meet ne'er to sever; Soon will peace wreath her chain Round us forever: Our hearts will then repose Secure from worldly woes; Our songs of praise shall close Never, no, never!" The ceremonies were then closed by prayer from the Rev. Mr. Harris, a late class-mate of Mr. Hay in the Theological Seminary at Princeton. A general congratulation and leave-taking of friends then commenced, in which the feelings of joy and sorrow were commingled. Mr. Hay is a native of Clark county in this Stale; but has made his home in Indianapolis for a number of years past, except while absent completing his theological studies. He com menced preparing for the ministry, under the instruc tion of the Rev. Mr. Gurley, a devoted friend of mis sions, and who is no doubt greatly reioiced at the field Mr. Hay has chosen for his labors. His lady, the late Miss Land is, was born in this city ; and the most interesting reflections connected with the services at the church, was the fact, that she was surrounded by her Sabbath school teachers, who had, nearly through her whole life, witnessed her weekly attendance at the Sabbath school ; and was addressed by the brother of that lady, alas, now no more, who gave her instruction in the Female Institute, who no doubt, in fused into her mind the missionary spirit that ha induced her to leave friends and home in her present enterprise. Tbe venerable founder of the Indianapolis Sabbath schools was present, and doubtless his heart was rejoiced that twenty-seven years ago he was the instrument of introducing these nurseries of re- J ligion in tbe then wilderness of Indiana. On yesterday morning Mr. Hay and Lady left in the cars for their distant home in India, accompanied by the good wishes of our entire community. "Young bride, a prayer for thee ! That all thy hopes possessing, .Thy soul may praise her God, and He May crown the Willi nis blessing. A writer in the last Goshen Democrat, after copying the resolutions of instruction to our Senators in Congress to vote for the Wilmot proviso, occupies a full column with inference that our Senators have not obeyed those instructions. Such is not the case. They voted for the Wilmot proviso the very first moment it was presented to them. Who is responsible for delay in the admission of California, we know not, so far as individual members are concerned. Mr. Clay, the author of the omnibus bill, so called, Rays he has the speediest plan for its admission. Our Senators have both said in their places (hey are for the admission either with the other measures or without them. The Houso has been hammering away at a California bill, disconnected from all other measures, for months, and still, for some cause, cannot pass it. What is the reason 1 It is easy to sae, that this everlasting question of slavery is disturbing and interfering with all matters of legislation, and that nothing will be done until it is put to rest. The people demand a settlement of this disturbing element, which gives political existence to the hotspurs of the north and the South. We are decidedly for actiou on the part of Congress. He Voted for them but was Overruled." Gen. Taylor gives the abovo as a reason whf some of bis friendi are not appointed to office. The Washington Union says : We hold ourselves ready to prove by witnesses as respectable and worthy of credit as any member of the cabinet, that ueneral lay lor has repeatedly told persons he had desired their appointment to ottices had voted for them in cabinet meetings, and been Overruled ; that he has told other applicants for office to make their applications to the members of the cabinet to take their papers of recommendation to them that he did not meddlo with those things ; and, again, he hss told others to refer the cabinet to him fur their standing and character. Those were not instances of little places in the exclusive patronage of the cabinet, but such offices as the President was bound in duty and self-respect to appoint."

From the Harriibvrgh Democratic Union. Debate on lleuioval. The debate in Hi Senate un the removals made by

Gen. Tavlur is bitrblv interesting. Whatever credence may have been atf ached to the charges nude by the opposition iiMirinU moiitli ago, the events that have lalely triip,r d have proved conclusively the utter inefficiency and corruption of the present admiiiiatrati'in. The attacks of artizan journals are sometimes so unfounded and unjust tl t the mass of the people pay very little regard to them, for which reason a just arvusatuiü. often shares the same fate. Our readers well know tlmt we always abstained from abusing Gen. Taylor, both before and immediately after Ins election. ILs services and bis solemn professions almost disarmed our opposition. We labored to secure the election of Gen. Cass, because we favored republican principles, and we objected to the election of Taylor because he avowed no principles. Wu said it was ridiculous and rafli to exercise so important a right as th.it of sufTrne withou' knowing to what end we voted. And so it has turned nut; a man who was to be the President of the people and advocate every body's doctrine, has betrayed his trust and exhibited himself as a violent and bitter Whig and permitted himself lo become the pliant tool of a clique of desperate and unprincipled politicians. Had it not been for the profession and pledgee of Gen. Taylor, he never could have been e'ected. the great majority of our people are Democrats. Gen. Taylor was elected by the votes of men who were seduced from their allegiance by the glJen promises that he made. He said that he loathed proscription. He sullied the national honor by incorporating this falsehood in a public and official document addressed to the wholo American people. How basely has he violated his pledges sgainst removals without cause. Read the firm and temperate remarks of Senator J. D. Bright in reply to John Bell of TennesKee. Sir, I here declare publicly upon my iepoiuibility a a Senator, that the tndUcriminata temoval, md at the time, and under tha ciicumtances attending tbetn, amount, in my judtjmf nt, to a mcut ft grant and dating violation of tha miny and ipctd pledges Rin by the pient Kxecmive lo the public; without which pledges, in my opinion, he could nt havs been elected. ' What a tpectarle i here pieeuted; one that, si an Ameiican. I will not charactsiize as it deeivea. Rrypect for the natim aod reipect for that huh offlca filled bv lbs incumbent, restrain a full exreMinn of my sentiments. That pledges wert given, none ait so bold as to deny. Now let oi s-t how tbey wets kept in my State, Indiana. Tbatt art some twenty or more Federal officer! in that State, subject lo the approval of this body ; of tbet one alone remains, a tnooumeul cf Exrcmive fin bearance au Kxecutive that commended himelf to. the people for their suffrages, on the ground that be "loathed proscription. Besides these, tüere ait a huudied or mure, (whoat name do not come bert for confirmation ) other mementoes of the manner in which pledges made before an election ate afieiwaids ledeemrd." And not only this, but the Executive said that he would only make removal fir causes that rendered the incumbents unfit to hold their offices, and now, his minions proclaim that the Executive has in his posfesion evidence impeaching the moral character and capacity of the distinguished gentlemen who have fallen beneath the axe of Whig proscription. A call has been made for the production of that evidence and the Executive refuses to furnish ii. Whyl Because it is false that the many distinguished gentlemen who held office under the late administration and whom their immediate neighbors honored and respected, were bad men. Apiu Mr. Bright nays: "I understood the bonrab!t Senator frutn Tennesset to say that tbe files nf the seveial dcpaitments would sliosv.that for all tha cae of removal there had bean a canae. If so, it become a matter of eiiou interest to tho who appreciate the value of in unsullief reputation, sod who ptize fail fame far abovt office or i's emoluments, (at many do, aod a I tiust eveiy mm doc,) to know what tha cause are- that have been alleged against them, and upon which the Kxrcutive grounded its action.

In the Senate of the United States on the 17th inst. an amendment was adopted to the compromise bill, on motion of Mr. Soule, of Louisiana, which the National Intelligencer says, will give the measure additional strength with the south; but ether papers say may weaken it with the north. Mr. Soule a amendment provides that the territories shall come into the Union either as free or slave States, as the people of the same shall choose. A discussion aro-e on the amendment, in which Messrs. Baldwin, Dayton, Ctss, Webster, Seward, Soule, Atkinson, Dodge, of Iowa, Boiler, Foole, and MilU-r took part. Mr. Seward said that he would have voted for the admission of California had she presented herself as a Slave Slate. Mr. Webster dated that he should vote for the amendment, though he thought it useless. His opinions on this subject were the s-ime that they were on the 7th of March. He expressed strongly his desire to pronounce a settlement of this question. Air. Douglass paid the people hid a right to come into the Union, either as elavelmlding r non-slave-Imidin? State. He saw no reason why he should not declare this when it came so fairly in our way. If there was any doubt about the principle it ought lo be expressed. The amendment was adopted by the following vote: Yeas Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Bell, Benton, Berrien, Bright. Butler, Cass, Clay, Clemens, Cooper, Davis, of Miss., Dawson, Dodge, of Iowa, Douglass, Downs, Foote, Houston, Hunter, Jones, Mason.

' The Lafayette Journal, a pretended freeeoil concern, but the Taylor by-authority paper of that city, is perfectly furious at Governor Whitcomb for obey inj; instructions and voting for the Wilmot proviso. The editor is in a predicament by this vote, and he is determined to eschew free-soil for the present, and please his master at Washington, by denouncing Whitcomb. He shows that his soul could dance on the point of a cambric needle, and that his mind is made up of the scum and filth of the putrid excresences of society. He hales Clay and loves Taylor, and wallows jn the slime of deception. He had hoped that Governor Whitcomb would have disobeyed the instructions of Ihe Legislature, knowing them to have been got up by deception and the party drill, so far as the whig party is concerned, and he fancied himself already in possession of a large amount of jtolilicod capital ! But be is deceived in his calculalions, and he must now obey old massa Taylor to keep the post-office printing. Burns is after it with a sharp stick ! Departure of Missionaries.

Scnate. Thursdav, June 13, 1950. Memorials and Petitioxs. Mr. Chase presented

a memorial from citizens of Akron, .in the county of Summit, in the State of Ohio, remonstrating against any action by txngrcss which shall make the admtseion of Citiforn a into the Union dependent on any other subject of legilation, and remonstrating very emphatically against the formation of any territorial government without the interdiction of human slave ry clearly expressed in the act of Congress creatine such government. Iu presenting this memorial, Mr. C. took occasion so say that the gentleman win forwarded it to hirn represented in his letter that the memorial was an imbodiment of the sentiments of nineteen-twentieth of the people of Ohio. He asked that it might be received and laid upon th table. Mr. BKHillT. I understand the honorable sena tor to remark that that petition was from Ohio, and represents the wishes of nineteen-twentietlis of the people of that Slate. Mr. CHASE. I sa'd that the letter which I re ceived enclosing the petition stated such to be the (act, and t have no reason to doubt it, nor do I doubt it. Mr. BRIGHT. I understood the senator to say that this petition or memorial wis from the State of Ohio, and that it represented the opinions of nineteen-twentietlis of the people of that Slate. Mr. CHASE. I stated that the letter I had received enclosing the petition represented nuch to be the fact; and that I had no reaon to doubt the truth of the statement which the letter contained. Mr. BRIGHT It is a matter of astonishment to me, Mr. President, that the Stains nf Ohio and Indiana should dific-r v widely in reference to the unsettled political questions of the day. Why, sir, only last night I received a letter from a most respectable gentleman in my Slate, who has for the last ten years been honored with a seat it: on or the other branches of the legislature, in which he informs me that, for two or three weeks previous to the writing of his letter, he had been in attendance at the sitting of the circuit and district court of the United States, holden at the capital of that State; that he had seen and conversed with gentlemen from all parts of the State, and leading men of both the great political parties, and that ho had not met with a single individual who was not in favor of the general adjustment of the measures embraced in the compromise bill, and upon the basis proposed by that bill; and, as confirmatory of his statement, he mentions an incident that it will not be out of place or improper for me to state here. The grand jury in attendance at the court I have mentioned, numbering some seventeen or eighteen of the pxked citizens from various quarters of the State, and about equally divided in political sentiment, proceeded, before closing their official labors, to declare on paper their opinions in reference lo the exciting and perplexing questions now agitating the country. Not th. South, East, and West, and concluded with a most earnest expression of the hope and wish that all might be settled before the adjournment of Congress upon a just, equitable, and constitutional bai., declaring their concurrence and approval of the principles contained in the bill now before this body. My correspondent further adds, as an evidence of the undivided state of public sentiment there; the court ordered the opinion of the jury, thus informally ! iuibodind, 10 be entered on the minutes of the pro ceedings of the court, and requested their publication in the newspapers located at the capital. I have naid thus much by way of an offset to the wholesale condemnation of this measure by that portion if the citizens of Ohio who have signed the remonstrance jutt presented by the honorable senator from that State, Mr. Chase, and at the same time to congratulate ti.e Senat- and country on the very wnoiesome state oi putmc sentiment prevailing in j Indiana, compared to that iu her sty lining sister I i I f .a- - . j State Utii; hut, sir, I hope though I have no nzht j tJ fc fr Qhto, nor shall I attempt to do so but I ! hope, if the sentiments embraced in the memorial i . r . ., . . I . ., . . . . . , .. I K-.I aU U . . . . .If) Wim i I npliPVA ftar lh hiinnr intarf tha rwsaras. and quietude of this Union, as to oppose all meas . - r' --t ures looking to a final adjustment of tlie-e questions! Sir; I am nt mistaken when I declare that the sound-thinking, practical men of the great and growing West, of all parties, are tired of this eternal agitation. Public mind is wearied and worn out with it, and every voice that reaches my ears but confirms me in the opinion that it is doe alike to the Union, to our constituents, and ourselves, to settle all these question, and that without further delay. Mr. CHASE. I have not undertaken to speak of tho opinions of the people of Indiana, nor of tho uhol'i of the State of Ohio. I repeated the statei .-. i . i. t . i j .i , mer.t made by the distinguished gentleman who trans- ; , , 6 , . . . , J """ed that letter to me, and who, I bflieve, had the honor of standing side by side with the senator from . Indiana in the last presidential struggle a gentle man who advocated the election of the same candidate that he did, and supported him will not say with etjual ability, for that would be jroing very far, but with distinguished aud great ability. He expresses the sentiment of the portion or that Slate in which he lives, and I have no doubt that he has expressed that opiniou correctly. But he is not alone. Among the signatures to that memorial is one of the leading editors now in support of this administration, and one who has long been known as a supporter of Ihe distinguished senator from Kentucky. Another gentleman who signed that memorial has been a member of the other House, and stands second to no man in the confidence and regard of his fellow-citizens. I do no! pretend to say a word in regard to the opinions of the people of Indiana. She has able and distinguished representatives here, who I trust will represeut her true opinions. All that I have to say is, i.'iat if the people f Indiana are now in favor of a plan of adjustment which repudiates the very prin ciple upon which the democratic parly stood jn the late struggleone which denies to th people of the Territory the right of legislation upon the subject of slavery and also repudiates a restriction on the sub ject of slavery she stands in a very different posi tion from that in which ehe stood in the last presidential struggle. Mr. BRIGHT. I do not wish to consume time, or to occupy the attention of the Senate with any debate upon this matter. I did not intend by anything I said lo intimate that the senator from Ohio did not represent the opinion of the people of that State. I only meant to say that if he did represent their feelings on this question, they differed very widely from the people of the State which I have the honor to represent. But, sir, I deuy that there is any provision in this compromise bill which is violative of the principle laid down by the democratic party in the late contest.' It is emphatically non-interference," leaving the people to settle the character of their State institutions for themselves; aud in advocating that bill, I advocate nothing more nor less than tbe principles which were advocated in that contest. The memorial was then received and laid upon tho table. Mr. CLAY presented proceedings cf a mass meeting of the citizens of St. Louis, in favor of the compromise bill. - Iu presenting these proceedings, Mr. C. said: Sir, with regard to the people of Ohio I know something of them. I have the highest respect for them, and I am very grateful to thc-ru. I eltail be greatly disappointed if, in some instances, I do not see, that, when gentlemen go home, they will find themselves without constituents, so far as uniformity of will creates constituents.
