Agrents. Tho following persons are authorized ttr receive Subscription for tho " Sentinel:" Joh.vsow Cocjttt Da- J. F. PlGi, Franklin. Tiptox Coc.vtt W. r. Bract, Tipton. All Postmasters, so deposed, wilt please act as our Agents. Fugitive Slaves again. Ellis, of the Goshen Democrat, is out with another article on the fugitive slave bill. We clip the following from his paper, to show that he is either grossly ignorant or is guilty of willful misrepresentation : "And yet, not content with tho existing 'compromises of the Constitution, all of which, so far as they relate to slavery, were mado not for the oppressed, but ior the oppressor not to encourage freedom, but to grind the face of God's poor, the Sooth impudently asks laws to be passed, compelling every Post Master and mail carrier, and every other petty officer under the General Government, to turn kidnappers and barbarians, hunt the blooding slave from his secluded den of securitybrand his quivering tlesh with tho heated steel rivet again upon his lacerated limbs the clanking chains of the fjlon deliver hin over to his oppressors, drag him back a gain to the rice swamps of Florida and enslave him !".-vcr, in a bondage more oppressing than are the laws f V.e Autocrat of Russia. And there are Northern j- i-faces iu Congress (for iho reputation of Indiana, ,nav Ieaven forbid that Bill Ihown should be one of '.ein') who not only favor, but urge the adoption, by Congress, of just stich laws." No such bill is before Congress, and if it were, we venture to assert that it could not receive a single vole. But this h tie unfair mode adopted by the abolition party to produce prejudice against the So-th. His idea of branding the quivering flesh v i;h a red hot iron, he got from George W. Roor back, who in 1314 charged Mr. Polk with branding his slaves; so that the idea is not new. We do not tliini any legislation, on the subject ab solutely necessary. The Supreme Court have de ciuei that the Constitution L a. self-acting machine, and that the owner may recapture his slave wherever he finds him. The law of 1793 authorized and em powered State Judges, Magistrates, and Mayors of c ities, on hearing of the ease, to grant certificates of ownership, &c. Under this law of Congress most of the States have passed laws regulating the mode cf proceeding in sich cases. The Supreme Court have decided all such laws void, and that the jurisdiction over this question is in Congress, and that i:'!ate officers are not bound to act. To remedy this, a bill is now before the United States Senate, re quiring the owner of a fugitive slave, to procure a warrant from a United States' Judge or Commis sioner, for the arrest of such fugitive, and before such warrant issues, the owner rrmst produce evidence of the identity of such slave, and that lie or t-he owes service; and upon the arrest, by the Marshal or his deputy, of such fugitive, and if, upon exSctnination, he or she is found to be a slave, such Jud:re or Commissioner shall remand the slave to the custody of his or her owner; and .such fugitive is entitled to a jury trial, in the State where it is alleged such service is owing, and where all the evidence is at hand. Now, this bill, instead of being an injury, is a protection to free men of color, and makes kidnapping almost impossible. The present law imposes a penalty of five hundred dollars, for the obstruction of process, in such cases. The proposed amendment docs not increase the penalty. So that all the matter about " compelling post masters and mail career:; to turn kidnappers" all the matter about " branding the quivering flesh," " riveting the clanking chains " and indeed the whole article, is a high-wrought fabrication, originating in the crazy brain of the editor, and published for mischievous urposes. The time was when the democracy of lllkhart county was united. They are now broken into fragments, and the reason is to be found in the columns of the Goshen Democrat. Southern Illinois in motion At a large meeting of the stockholders of the Mississippi and Atlantic Railroad Company, held at Vandalia, Illinois, on the 29th ult., the Company was organized by the election of seventeen directors, who elected William S. Waite, President, H. P. H. Brownwell, Secretary, Ebenezer Clapp, Treasurer, William H. Morrison, (of this city,) Engineer. Subscriptions to the um of $100,250 were returned to commence with, and an immediate survey and location of the road from the Illinois line, near Terre Haute, to the Mississippi river, opposite to the city of St. Louh, was ordered. Thus has the only remaining link of the great chain of Railway reaching from the Delaware to the Mississippi had an auspicious commencement, with confident assurances that the people of southern Illinois and SL Louis, are awake to their true interest. In a very few years we n.ay hope to see the entire road from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, passing through our beautiful city, iu full operation, producing a great revolution in the current of trade and business between these parts of the Union, by substituting the rapid and safe car for '.he dangerous and sluggish boat, and giving to the interior cf our great valley an artificial thoroughfare exactly suited to the rapid motion and enteprising i irit cf the age in which we live. CrThe telegaaphic report from Washington, of 1:1? lit hit. says, that Mr. Bates declines a Cabinet 3; po-r.feent, preferring the chances of coming to ti e Senats from Missouri. This leaves twovacanc :c , an 1 Gov. Jonej of Tenn., Conrad of La., and c'i.erc, are mentioned to fill them. It ij supposed the California bill will pass the Semis without much difficulty, but as the cholera is 1 r --roidiing by way of Harper's Ferry, it may hurry a;: adjournment. The question is full of distrust and danger. Notwithstanding the belief that the separate bill will be passed, the debate to-day was strong en the prospect of civil war. Much complaint is nide sgdioit Mr. Pearce for defeating the Compro2Ue bill. He was warned that his proposition, if - carried, would defeat it, but he persisted, and death to the Compromise is the consequence. Feelings of exasperation are now engendered which will foment rr 1 cannot be allayed. The California bill may pass the Senate, but it cannot go through the House this session. It ii said that Mr. Pcarce's motion which defeated t!ie bill resulted from a visit to President Fillmore yesterday morning. He disapproved of the Texas srrangeincnt. Mr. CLy will leave here on Saturday. Southern lumbers arc determined to resist the admission of California, an 1 will stick out to the last against it. Ciiolkka. At Columbus, Ohio, there were 11

deaths from cholera on Thursday last, 9 on Friday, and 1 1 on Saturday. There Lave been four deaths from cholera in Circlville. The 73oard of Health in Cincinnati, up to Saturday, at noon, report 11 cases of cholera for the proii; 43 Lour j.

Congress. . Our telegraphic reports are not sufficiently explicit, to enable the general reader to understand the votes that Iiave been taken, immediately previous to the defeat of the compromise bill. The Texas

boundary was one of the most difficult questions to be settled. Tho omnibus bill proposed to fix the boundary and pay to Texas, millions of dol lars. This clause was discussed several days; when Mr. Bradbury, of Maine, offered the following amendment, in lieu ofthat section of the bill relating to the boundary between Texas and New Mexico. " That the President of the United States be and he is hereby authorized, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint three Commissioners, who shall have power to agree with such Commissioners as may be appointed under the legislative authority of the State of Texas, upon the territory properly included within and rightfully lelonging to the State ot Texas, at the time of her annexation to the United States, or at any pcrmd since that date, and to detinc and establish the limits of the same if they shall find it practicable to do so; and in case they shall be unable to agree upon the true and legitimate boundary of the State of Texas, they are hereby authorized to agree upon a convenient line of boundary between territory of the United States and the said State of Texas, commencing at the point where the Red river is intersected by tho 100th degree of West longitude, being the South-west angle of the Indian territory, and running to a point on the Rio Grande, to be agreed upon by the said Commissioners ; and alio to agree upon the terms, condition and consideration npon which such line shall be established ; and the proceedings and agreements of the said Commissioners shall be, as soon as possible, transmitted to the President of tho United States, to be by him submitted to Congress for its approval and action thereupon; and the said a grcement, when approved by the Congress of the United States and the Legislature of the State of Texas, shall be obligatory upon thopartics." Mr. Dawson, of Ga., moved to amend the amendment offered by Mr. Bradbury, by adding thereto the following: And be it further enacted, That nntil such time as the boundary line between the State of Texas and the territory of the United States be agreed toby the Legislature of the State of Texas and the Government of the United States, the territorial government authorized by this act shall not go into operation East of the Rio Grande, nor shall any state le established for New Mexico embracing any territory East of the Rio Grande. This amendment was opposed on the ground that it was in effect ceding to Texas, Santa Fe and the rest of New Mexico East of the Rio Grande. The question was taken on Mr. Dawson's amendment, and carried by the following vote: Yeas. Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Barnwell, Bell, Berrien, Butler, Clay, Clemens, Cooper, Davis of Mississippi, Dawson, Dickenson, Dodge of Iowa, Downs, Foote, Houston, Hunter, Jones, King, Mangum, Mason, Morton, Phelps, Pratt, Rusk, Sebastian, Soulc, Sturgeon, Turnev and Yulee 30. Nats. Messrs. Baldwin, Benton, Bradbury, Bright, Chane, Clarke, Davis of Massachusetts, Dayton, Dodge of Wisconsin, Douglas, Ewing, Felch, Greene, Hale, Hamlin, Miller, Norris, Pearce, Seward, Shields, Smith, Spruance, Underwood, Uphani, Walsh, Walker, V nitcomb and Y inthrop The question then occurred on Mr. Bradbury's amendment as amended. It was agreed to by the following vote: Yeas. Messrs. Atchison, Badger, Bell, Berrien, Bradlmrr. Bright, Cass, Clav, Clemens, Cooper, Daw son, Dickinson, Dodgeof Iowa, Douglas, Downs, Felch, Foote, Houston, Hunter, Jones, Km, Mangnm, Norn Pratt, Rusk, Sebastian, Shields, Sturgeon, Walker and Whitcomb 30.

Davton, Dodge of Wisconsin, Ewing, Greene, Hale, Hamlin, Mason, Miller, Morton, Phelps, Seward. Smith, Soule, Spruance, Tu'rney, Underwood, Upham, W ales, V inthrop and i ulec ia. Mr. Pearce of Maryland, it is said, on consultation with Mr. Fillmore, found that the new President favored all the provisions of the compromise bill, with the ex ception of Mr. Dawson's amendment. With a view of getting this amendment taken off the bill, ho made the movement in the Senate, which, it is said, resulted in tho defeat of the bill. Both of our Senators, it will be per ceived, voted against Mr. Dawson's amendment. Railroads in the United States. The number of miles of Railroad in the United States completed or in progress is truly wonderful The New York Rail Road Journal gives the follow' ing recapitulation at the end of a long article on Rail Roads in the United States, either completed or about being completed : RECAFITClATIOJf. JUUes. Maine . 225 New Hampshire 403 Vermont 2S7 Massachusetts , 993 Rhode Island 61 Connecticut 450 2123 New York 12S6 New Jersey 239 Pennsylvania 740 Delaware 16 Maryland 315 Virginia 307 North Carolina 249 South Carolina 262 Georgia CC0 Alabama 112 Mississippi Louisiana . Kentucky . Illinois.... . 60 . 89 . 55 , 79 . 102 Indiana Ohio Michigan . 414 . 317 53 IS 2t23 Total 7742 Adding to the altove the various coal roads in the coun try, would give an aggregate of about 8,000 miles. The whole amount exjtended npon roads in operation cannot be far from $300 ,000, (XX). New York takes the lead in the extent of her road, and will probably maintain ber position as the first mil. road State in the Union, for an indefinite period. Ohio will soon follow as the second, Pennsvlvania the third. and Georgia the fourth. Massachusetts must soon loose her relative position from the smallness of her territorv Connecticut bids fair to have the most in proportion to her area and population. It is tlillicult to ascertain the extent 01 railroads in progress. It cannot, we think, he less than 5000 miles. Every vear increase tho number of the projects; and unles the demand wbich they make upon the capital of tho country should have the effect to cripple their operalions, it is diffiionlt to estimate the extent to which these works will bo carried in the next ten years. Burnet House The Cincinnati Gazette, giving the statistics of the Burnet House, says, that some estimate of the ira mense expenditures of lliis house may be had from the following facts: One ton of ice, at 20 p,?r ton, is consumed daily; forty gallons of milk, do.; one hundred dozen of eggs, do. Sixteen barrels of flour are used per week, and five hundred pounds of butter in the same time. The gas bill is g 3.000 per annum. There are one hundred and thirty-five ser vants, sixty of whom are females. Of these one hundred and'thirty-five servants, one hundred and thirty-two are Irish and three French cooks. Of this whole number but Are tif the head waiters were "imported " by the house. It is estimated that five hundred guests can be comfortably entertained so thai, wleo the capacity of this house is tested, in eluding guests, the families of the proprietors, at taclices and servants, it will contain a population ap proacliing one thousand, a number sufficiently great to form a thriving interior country town. 07"Thc Albany Register, wliich is presumed to speak by authority for President Fillmore, say?, that in the matter of local appointments, the President will leave to the heads of each Department, the choice of their subordinates, and they will be. heh1 responsible for the arts of tho'C who may be selected.

Remedy for the Cholera. The following remedy has been furnished to the editor of the New York Evening Post, by a respecta ble sliip-master for publication. New Yobk, July 20, To Dr. Tcrxer Dear Sir; In compliance with your request, I respectfully reply, than in January last, in the packet ship Isaac Wright, under my command, I sailed from Liverpool with two hundred and five passengers. Within forty eight hours alter sailing, cases ol cholera appeared on bojvrd, which I treated, for some time, ac cording to the book, with such bad success, that, within ti".i days, I had thrown overboard twenty-seven passentrcrs dead with the cholera. I then recollected a method of treatment sugcrcstcd to me by my friend and prede cessor, Captain Alexander A. .Marshall, viz: to give a table spoonful of salt and a tea spoonful of red pepper, in half a pint of hot water. I tried it with such success that 1 did not loose another patient during the passage, nor since. I was sciz?d violently myself with the cholera, had cramps, and so on, and this medicine carried mo through. . The medicine acts very promptly as an emetic, sny in one or two minutes. It brinzs up a very ollcnsive mat ter, which sticks like glue. It was given, among other., to nn old woman of cichtv-four vears of a?re. who was on deck (though weak of course) the very next day. I have known it to'1c successluiiy used on board their fhips by at least a dozen ship-masters besides myself. Its uso is quite general in Liverpool, where even some of the regular doctors find it to their advantage to resort to it. Provided with this simple recipe, I no longer consider tho cholera an unmanagerJjle disease. G. L. PEABODY, Master of packet ship Isaac Wright. K7The Jews of Damascus, in common with the Catholic and Greek churches, have experienced the liberality of the Sultan, who as we le-irn from a letter of Sir Moses Montefiore. in the Mornin2 Chronicle, has ad dressed to the Chief Rabbi, and to the local heads of those churches, a request that each should furnish from among their co-religionists a member of the new Divan. This council, which formerly consisted of Moslems exclusively, has now only five Moslem members. A great change must have taken place since the date of the se vere persecution of the Jews a few years a;o. Now they are not only guarded against the effects of preiu dice and intolerance, but they have seenred to them that consideration to which they arc entitled, in common with others of whatsoever creed. ITThe Duko of Wellington had a service of plate presented him by the Portuguese government, which is worih half a million of dollars.

Indiana Deaf and Dumb Asylant. The editor of. the New-Albany Ledger, while in Indianapolis a few weeks since, visited the new Deaf and Dumb Asylum building, a short distance east of tlils City. In his last paper he remarks

V Indiana is far in advance of many States of greater years, in tlto regard- which has been paid to erecting in stitutions ior uie euucauon ana improvement 01 1110 condition of those who appear to have been stricken by the hand of Providence. Al:hough weighed down by'debt and taxation, her citizens have cheerfully submitted to additional burdens with a view of ameliorating the condition of the unfortunate, so far as human aid can beneht them. Our Lunatic Asylum, Deaf and Dumb Acylum, and Institute tor the Blind are so many monuments of the genprous lilicrality of our citizens. The Lunatic Asylum has been completed and occupied for some two years, and has-already done an immen.se good for the class of nnfortunatcs for whom it was erected and is maintained. Tho Deaf and Dumb Asylum has been organized and in operatiou for several years, but on account of the want of proper buildings and conveniences, it lias not been the means of doing the same amount of good that it would otherwise have done. We aro glad, however, to know that this evil will shortly be remedied by the completion of the splendid buildings provided for by the General Assembly, now in course of erection about one mile east of Indianapolis. We a few weeks ago paid a visit lo these Iwiildings, now rapidily . drawing towards completion, and, great as was our expectations from what we had heard and read, they were far surpassed. Tho buildings are on tho most extensive scale, bcinu provided witn almost every imaginable convenience, which can tend to the advancement, the health, and the comfort of the scholars and their instructors. Messrs. Colestock & Vandcrgrift are the contractors for the greater portion of these magnificent buildings, and if the opinion of good mechanics who have examined tho work, is worth anything, a better and more durable piece of workmanship it is difficult to find. Indeed, wherever they are Inown, these gentlemen bear the highest reputation as skillful and experienced mechanics and faithful contractors. The trustees of the Institution have purchased two hundred acres of land surrounding tho buildings, which is to he cultivated by the students regular hours being appropriated for that purpose. It has heretofore been the custom to permit such students, whose parents were able to pay for their tuition, to abstain from all kinds of manual labor. This, however, has been found a source of much annoyance to tho instructors, causing jealousy among the poorer students, who were compelled to labor in part payment for their instruction and subsistence. When the students get into the new buildings, this system is to be abolished, and every pupil required to perforin a certain amount of manual labor per day. This we consider a wise regulation, and one conducive to the health of the pupil as well as to the benefit of the Institution itself. Mr. James S. Brown, the superintendent of the Institution, is a gentleman exceedingly well qualified for the arduous, responsible, and sometimes perplexing duties which devolves upon him. The same may be said of Mr . Willard (himself a deaf mute), tho assistant teacher. To those who have occasion to go to Indianapolis, a visit to the Deaf and Dumb Asylum should not be for gotten. In a lew years, when the lands surrounding shall be brought into a high state of cultivation, and the grounds in the immediate vicinity be planted in shade trees, shrubbery, and rare plants, it will be one of the most delightful resorts in the vicinity of the capital; and every citizen who visits it will have tho proud satisfaction of bcins able to say, " have nn interest in this beautiful edifice, these luxuriant fields, these delightful grounds, tny means contributed to provide this asylum ior the unfortunato mute, who, in the midst of a busy and a noisy world, is buried in solitude and bilence." 07"Judge Johnson, the whig candidate for Governor of Ohio, next to Gov. Letcher, is making an ef fort to be one of the greatest demagogues of the age. One of his tricks has been developed as lollows: A good joke, says the Cochocton Democrat was recently told us upon the M'hig Galphin candidate for Governor of this State. During a speech of his at a certain place on the Reserve, not Ions since, he proceeded to descant upon the extravagance of the age, the use of gold watches, hue clothes, and the like, declaring himself to be one of the plain yeomanry, that he never in dulged in anvthing of that sort, an old silver "bull's eye," that cost him but ten dollars, was all the watch he ever carried, and it was plenty good enough for him ; and to illustrate the fact, the Jude put his hand in his pocket and drew forth not a silver " bull's eye" but a niagnihcent pout rrpeattr: 1 he shouts of the crowd can uc octicr iiuasfineu man aescnoea, wnue mo Juure made a most precipitate retreat. The fact is, the silver watch was carried for electioneering purposes, and in the excitement of speech-making, when he went to draw it lorth he put bis hand in the trrona pocket! The whig candidate for Governor must have a most contemptible opinion of the people to attempt such tricks upon them. Did he form bis opinions of the people generally by his associatiuns with the whigs? If so it is not very complimentary to his party, lie will find demo, crats to lc made of different stuff. They want princi ple instead ot coon-skin humbnggery. Blackford's Corner. This is one of the most beautiful lots on Washington Street, fronting G7 feet on Washington, and 195 on Meridian streets! lies in tho very heart of the business, and within a stone s throw ol the center ol the city. II pro. pcrly improved, it would le one of the very best business stands to be found, and could not fail to yield the owner a handsome per cent, on his investment. Moreover, a handsome building on his corner, just opiosite to Norris's tine block, wonld be a real ornament to the city. Public attention has already been called, through the Locomotive, to the present condition of this lot. It is covered with a row of shanties, little superior to Judge Stevens' famo'is row. On the corner is a long, low, gaunt, one story frame, occupied as a hard ware store; next is a meagre room occupied as a tailor shop; then a little shoe shop; next is a small building of two rooms into both of which you descend from Washington street the floor being some 15 inches lower than the pavement. One of these rooms is occupied as a barler shop in a small way; the other ns a little one-eyed clothing store. But tho beanty of this huildinr; is that (for economy) it is covered with narrow plank, instead of shingles. A recent improvement in the art ol rootinir. I do not think, Mr. Editor, that we have, ordinarily, any riijht to interfere in other men's matters; but in this case, the present owner is so amply able, and owes so much to the State and town in which lives, that I think they hav a right to require cf him, to remove these shantecs from their present conspicuous positions and supply their places by a building that will reflect the good taste ol the owner when he shall le among as no more. .Let me whisper soltly in the ear ot the owner " If you could hear the tenth part of the remarks made about yourself at this time, when so many fine buildings are being ereetod by men of less capital, vou would, I am sure, shell out, yet this season, a few of the $25,000 of old scrip lying on depositc in the Bank." Verbum $apietäi est talis. A CITIZEN. From Oregon. The Cincinnati Commercial says : The details of late news from Oregon contain nothing of Haitling interest, yet it is of considerable importance. The territory ap pears to ho in a prosperous condition, and advancing rapidly in wealth and improvements. The legislature met on the 6th of May. f he Governor, in his message says that peace with the Indians has been restored, Capt. White has made a survey of the mouth of the Columbia river, and discovered a channel which afiords enough water over the bar to admit ships without danger or delay. The Governor intends going to the gold mines lately discovered iu that territory, to treat with the Indians in that region. The washings are said to be rich, and it is supposed they extend over a large district of country. A new town called Cascade, has been laid out, and is said to be most advautageously situated for trade. Tho detachment of soldiers sent ufter tho deserters had returned, bringins with them seventeen, in a wretched eonditionj tho balance, thirty-two, escaped and reached Calilorn'u. Several Indians are in custody for the murder of Dr. Wbiteman und family, and have confessed their guilt. A letter from the Secretary of tho Treasury at Washington is published in the Oregon Spectator, iu rejrard to the dispute thut had grown up in regard to the Hudson Bay Company importing goods without pay. ing duty. The letter says thut if tiio goods aro landed on the territory for any other purpose than portale, to aid in getting them up the river out of the territory, they arc dutiable. Tho price of labor is extremely high, carpenters receive $S to $12 per day, common laborers $1 to $5, tailors $30 for making a dress coat, and $3 to $12 for making vests and pantaloons; other kinds of labor is high in proportion. School teachers arc in great demand, and receive their own prices. Ultra Seward. The Washington Union says: Mr. Senator Seward, of New York, begins to discover that his ultraism is too ultra for any of his sympathising altolitionists to follow him, and that he is" rapidly descending to tho level for which nature has destined him. He was yesterday denounced by opponents and deserted by his own associates. This is a osition which nowise man will envy, and no good man will desire. On his amendment about New Mexico, he stood alone ns the j 1 1,rK flllBri",'B announced on summing up tlio vote 1 -- Mr- bewanl-uue. . .

Henry Clay. The last gTcat speech of this gentleman on the compromise bill, was made in the Senate on the 22d ult. It has just reached ns, occupying some twelve or thirteen columns in the Washington papers. We have only room, on the present occasion, for a single extract, but one which, it is said, on all hands is equal, in true eloquence, to any effort of Mr. Clay in his palmiest days. It is the eloquence of feeling, and coming from a man on the very verge of the grave, produced a most powerful impression on all who heard him. It is said there was scarcely a dry eye in the whole Senate chamber, both amongst the friends and enemies of the bill under discussion. Mr. Clay said: Mr. President I wish I had the physical power to give utterance to the many, many ideas which I still hae ; but I havo it not. I must hasten towards a conclusion. The responsibility of this great measure passes from the hands of the committee, and from my hands. They know, and I know, thnt it is an awful and tremendous responsibility. I hope that you will meet it with a just conception, "and a true appreciation of its magnitude, and the maunitudo of consequences, which may ensue from your decision one way or the other. The alternatives," I fear, which the measure presents, are concord and increased discord ; a servile civil war originating in its causes on the lower Itio Grande, and terminating, possibly, in its consequences with the upper Rio Grande, in the Santa Fe country or the restoration of harmony

and fraternal kindness. I believe, from the bottom of mv soul, that the meas ure is the reunion of this Union. I believe it is the dove of peace, which, taking its aerial flight from the dome of the Capitol, carries the clad tidings ot assured peace and restored hnrmony to all the remotest extremities ol this distracted land. 1 believe tuat it will be attended with all these beneficient effects. And now let us dis card all resentment, all passions, all petty jealousies, all personal desires, all love of place, all honing alter the ruded crumbs which fall lrom the table ot power. L.et us forget popular fears, from whatever quarter they may spring. Let us go to the limpid fountain of unadulterated patriotism, and, jerforming a solemn lustration, return divested of all selfish, sinister, and sordid impuritics, and think alone of our God, our country, our consciences, and our glorious Union that Union without which we shall be torn into hostile fragments, and sooner or later become the victims of military despotism or foreisrn domination. Mr. President, what is an individual man? An atom, almost invisible without a magnifying glass a mere speck upon the surface of the immense universe not a second in time compared to immeasurable, never-failinn never-oerinnincr, and never endinn, eternity : a drop ol water in the great deep, which evaporates and is borne off by the winds; a grain of sand, which is soon gathered to the dust from which it sprung. . Shall a being so small, so petty, so fleeting, so evanescent, oppose itself to the onward march of a sreat nation, to sulsist for ages and ages to come oppose itself to that long line ol posterity which, issuing lrom our loins, will endure during the existence of the world ? Forbid it, God: Let us look at our country and our cause; elevate our selves to the dignity of pure and disinterested patriots, wise and enlightened statesmen, and save our country from all impending dangers. hat if, in the march of this nation to greatness and poer, we should be buried hencath the wheels that propel it onward. What are we, what is any man worth who is not ready and willing to sacrifice himself lor the beneht ol his country when it is necessary f Now, Mr. President, allow me to make a short appeal to some senators to the whole of the Senate. Here is my friend from Virginia, Mr. Masov, of whom I have never been without hopes. I have thought of the revo lutionary blood of George Mason which flows in his viens 01 uie wood 01 nisown lamer oi Msown aceompiisu. ed father my friend my cherished friend for nianv years. Can he, knowing, as I think he must know, the wishes of the peopla of his own Stste can he, with the knowledge he possesses of the public sentiment there, and of the hish obligation cast upon him by his noble ancestry can he hazr.rJ Virginia's greatest and most glorious work that work at least which she, perhaps more than any other State, contributed her moral and political power to erect ? Can he put at hazard this no ble Union, with all its beneficient etlects and consequences, in the pursuit of abstractions and metaphysical theories objects unattainable or impossible in their nature while that honor of our own common native State, which I reverence and respect with as much devotion as he does, while the honor of that State and the honor of the South are preserved unimpaired by this measure? I appeal, sir, to the senators from Rhode Island and from Delaware, my little friends, which have stood by me, ami by which I have stood, in all the vicissitudes of mv political life: two clorious, patriotic little States, which, if there is to be a breakinir up of the waters of this Union, will be swallowed up in the common deluge, and left without support. Will thev hazard that Union. w hii-li i-t llioir strnmth. their iiovior. and their preat- ! 0 j ncssi Let such an event as I have alluded to occur, and where will be tho sovereign power of Delaware and Rhode Island? If this Union shall become separated, new unions, new confederacies will arise. And with respect to this if there be any I hope there is no one in the Senate before whose imagination is flitting the idea of n great southern confederacy to take possession of the Bulize and the mouth of the" Mississippi I say in my place never! never! never will we who occupy the broad waters of the Mississippi consent that any foreign flag shall float at the Bali.e, or upon the. turrets of the Crescent City never never! I call upon all the South. Sir, we have had hard words hitter words, bitter thoughts, unpleasaut feelings towards each other in the Progress of this great measure. Let ns forget them, .et us sacrifice these feelings. Let us go to the altar of our country and swear, as the oajh was taken cf old, that we will stand by her; we will support her, that we will uphold her constitution; that we will preserve her Union, and that we pass this great, comprehensive, and healing system of measures, which will hush all the jarring elements, and bring peace and tranquility to our homes. Let me, Mr. President, in conclusion, say that the most disastrous consequences would occur, in my opinion, were we to go home, doing nothing to satisfy and tranqiiilize the country upon these great questions. What will be the judgment of mankind, what the judgment of that portion of mankind who are looking upon the progress of tlus scheme of self-government as being that which holds the highest hopes and expectations of ameliorating the condition ol mankind what win their judgment be? Will not all the monarchs of the Old World pronounce our glorious republic a disgraceful failure? What will be the judgment of our constituents when we return to them, and they ask us, How have yon left your country? Is all quiet all hoppy? Are all the seeds of distraction or division crushed and dissipated? And. sir, when you come into the bosom cf your family when you come to converse with the partner of your fortunes, cf vour happiness, ai.d of your sorrows and when, in the midst of the common offspring of loth of you, she asks you, "Is there any donger ot civil wars Is there any danger of the torch being applied to any portion of the country? Have you settled the questions which you have been so long discussing and deliberating upon at Washington? Is oil peace and all quiet?" What resjionse, Mr. President, can you make to that wife of yoiir choice and those children with whom you have bee'n blessed by God ? Will you go home and leave all in disorder and confusion all unsettled all open? The contentions and agitations of the past will be increased and augmented by the agitations resulting from our neglect to decidc them. Sir. M'e shall stand condemneJ by all human judgment IkjIow, and of those alove it is not for mo to speak. We shall stand condemned in our own consciences, by our own constituents, by our own country. The measure may" bo defeated. I have been aware that its passage for many days was not absolutely certain. From the first to the last, I hoped and believed it would pass; Iwcausc from the first to the last I believed it was founded on the principles of just and righteous concession of mutual conciliation. I believe that it deals unjustly by no part of the republic; that it saves their honor, and, ns tar as it is dependent upon Congress, saves the interests of all quarters of the country. But, sir, I have known that the decision of its fate depended upon four or five votes in the Senate of the United States, and upon whose ultimate judgment we could not count upon the one side or the other w ith absolute certainty. Its fate is now committed to the hands of the Senate, and to those five or six votes to which I have referred. It may be defeated. It is possible that, for the chastisement of our sins or transgressions, the rod of Providence may be still spplied to ns, lmiy be still suspended over us. But, if defeated, it will bo a triumph of ultraism and impracticability a triumph of a most extraordinary conjunction of extremes a victory won by alolitionism a victory achieved by free-soilism the victory of discoid and agitation over pence and tranquility ; and I prny to Almighty God that it may not, in con. semieneo of the inauspicious result, lead to the mot unt j I v happy and disastrous consequences to our Ltloved counApplause, j "Horn'8 Last." Three young men from Boone county a few days since attempted to pass on a gentleman in llomney one of Horn's advertisements, of Indianapolis, for $20", in payment of their bill over night. These advertisements have the appearance of a genuine bank note and are well calculated to deceive persons unacquainted with money, especially if unable to read, ns was the case with tho three persons" from Boone. They were arrested and brought before 'Squire Bcckner, by whom, after a hearing they w ere discharged. W trust the reprehensible practice of issuing advertisements calculated to do so much mischief will be discontinued. Lafayette O.urirr.

Supreme Court of Indiana, May Term. 1830 Reported fur the Stale Sent ind Y ALBKRT G . FOKTER, E8. Friday. May 31, ISjO. Enjlrman v. The Slate. Error to the Kosciusko C. C. Perkins. J. This was un indictment found in the Allen Circuit Court against Engleman for larceny. Up

on application hv the defendant a change of venue was granted to the Kosciusko L-ircuit Court. The cause u there tried and the delndant convicted. He prosecutes a writ of error to this Court. It was contended, for the defendant, that the KoscU usko Circuit Court had no jurisdiction of the cause. Be cause the indictment did not appear to have Iwn tiled m the Allen Circuit Court. 1 he transcriot made bv tho Clerk of the Allen Circuit Court states that on a cer. tain dav of certain term of said court, the "rand iurv " presented in these words and figures following to-wit ;,f then follow s a copy of the indictment. It further showsthat process was issued against the defendant, that he appeared, and " it leing demanded of him how ho would ac quit himself of the charges," &c., " for plea thereto saiJ that he was not guilty as be stood charged in the indictment aforesaid ;" that he entered into a rewgnizanee foT his appearance at a subsequent term to wbich the caustr was continued; that, at that term, he applied for aixf obtained a change of venue to the Kosciusko Circuit" Court, to which Court the Clerk of the Allen Circuit Court was ordered to transmit the papers in the cause with a transcript, Sic. : and the record made bv the Clerk. of the Allen Circuit Court states that the proceedingsn uiit court, including tue original indictment, which isspecially mentioned were tiled in the Kosciusko Circuit Court, and there is no objection that all the papers belonging to the cause were not tiled there. Ilm, That these statements sufficiently showed that the indictment had been delivered to. and received, inhis official capacity by the Clerk of the Allen Circuit Court, and that such a delivery and reception of thaindictment constituted a filinc of" it. The caption to the indictment in this case showed that the indictment was found at the October Term. 1S46. bv certain men, duly empannelled, sworn, and charged as grana jurors in ana ior tne county ot Allen at the saidterm. IlcU, That it sufficiently appeared from the captionthat the indictment was found at the term of tho Court at which the grand jury was sworn. The indictment in this case charged the oflence to haver been committed on a certain dav of a certain month " in the year eighteen hundred and torty-six." Held. That the indictment was "not objectionable for omitting to show that the oU'ence was committed in the year "of our Lord" that fact being implied from tho worus usca. Several counts may properly be inserted in an indictment, charging the same transaction, though amounting to a felony, in diderent modes, in order to meet the proof in the case ; and if it do not appear 0 the face of tho indictment that dilferent transactions or felonies are charged, the indictment should not be quashed for that cause. If an indictment charge but one transaction in diflercnt modes, the prosecuting attorney has a right to give the evidence relating to that transaction and apply it to whichever count of the indictment it would sustain, and cannot be compelled before proceeding to the trial to elect upon which count ho will proceed; but if w hen tho prosecuting titorney has adduced his evidence, it tends to prove distinct larceuies, or offences, w hich might be embraced by the charges in the indictment, the prosecuting attorney might then be compelled to elect upon w hich of the larcenies he would rely on the trial and to confine his evidence to that. See 2 "Kuss. on Cr. 66. A count in an indictment for a larceny of certain county orders charged that the defendant (naming him) " late, &e., on, &u?., at, &c., five county orders draw 11 by the auditor of ihc county of Allen, in "the State of Indiana, on the treasurer of said Allen county, one of these county orders being of the denomination of cigbty-seveu dollars and twenty-seven cents, and of the value ot" twenty-live dollars; me other of said county orders 1 icing of the denomination," &c., (describing each rem.iining order after the manner of the lirst) " o ' the personal goods of," " then and there being found, then and there feloniously did take and carry uway, contrary," Sic. Held, That the description of the property alleged to have been stolen, was sufficiently particular. Yule The Commonwealth v. Richards, 1 Muss. 337. A c unt in an indictment for 1 ireeny charging that the defendant feloniously took and carried aw jy" the property desciibvd in the indictment, is not objeetionHble lor omitting ti;e word "stole," as the felonious taking and carrying uway constitutes larceny. In this case the court instructed the jury that " if they believed from the evidence that the defendant was in possession of the orders of the Townlvs, or any part of them, as charged in the indictment within a period of 4 or 5 months after the time they are alleged to have lccn stolen, and that they were stolen on about the time alleged, and the defendant has failed to show how he came by them, he having it in his power to explain his possession, if it was an honest one, such possession is a circumstance from w hich the jury are authorized to raise a presump1, in connection with the other circumstances in the j case, to weigh against the defendant. Held, That the instruction was unobjectionable. On the trial of a defendant for larceny, the State cannot, in answer to evidence tending to estitblish the general good character of the defendant, adduce evidence to prove particular acts of misconduct done by him. 1 Chitt.

The writ of scire facias in this case adjudged bad upon demurrer by the Circuit Court, is deemed unobjectionable. Reversed, with directions to the Cireuit Court to o-i rule the demurrer and give tho defendants time to plead. j Roe d. Yeirick v. Ross. Error to the Cass C C. Backforo, J. Ejectment, plea, the general issue. The plaintiff relied ou a conveyance of the premises in controversy to his lessor from Joseph Douglass, dated the 23d ol' March, 1842. The defendant claimed titlo to the premises under a purchase at sherifl's saic. To sustain this defence the defendant proved a judgment in the Cass Circuit Court, rendcreu on the 2utu of November, 1840, in favor of G. G. Young, against John T. Douglass, an entry by Weirick, the lessor, as replevin bail on said judgment, w hich entry was made on the 15th of January, 1S41. and a revival of the judgment at the February Term, 1343, in favor of Andrew Young, administrator of G. G. Young, deceased, with direction that an execution issue to sell the property levied on to satisfy said judgment. The defendant also proved the issuing of a venditioni exponas in the case on the 17th of March, 1S45, which execution commanded the sheriff of Cass county to sell the lauds sought to be recovered in the present suit, and which execution is valid on its face. The defendant also proved that he" purchased said lands under said venditioni exponas, on the 14th of March, J846, (the rents and profits lor 7 years having first been offered for sale without effect.) He proved also the sheriff's deed to him for tho lands so purchased. Held, That this evidence of the defendant was sufficient, prima facie, to authorize a verdict in his favor. Armstrong v. Jackson d. Elliott, 1 Blackf. 210. Where the grounds of objection of evidence do not appear to have been pointed out to the Circuit Court, thev cannot lo noticed by the Supreme Court. P.ussell et 1. v. Branham, 8 Blackf. 277. Three executions, of the same date, in favor of different persons, were levied on certain goods, and the last also on land of the same execution defendant, by R., w ho was then sheriff. A part of the goods levied oa were sold on the first execution, and it did not appear w hat had become of the residue. The land which wa levied upon by the last named execution was after ward sold unon a tenditioiii txtonas issued upon the same judg. mcnt, to R. When the venditioni expona issued, and for a long time previously, one V. was the sheriff, and it was he w ho sold the land to R. Held, That R. had a ripht, under the circumstances, to presume that such proceedings had taken place subsequently to the levy on the goods as justified the issuing of a rendilloni exponas. Lands sold by the sheriff, upon execution, were proved to be worth at "the time of the sale from 1,200 to 1,300 dollars. The sum bid and paid for them by the iur. chaser was 111 dollars and 23 cents. Held, That this inadequacy of price, was not, of itself, sufficient to avoid the sale. Afirmed. Everybody Pleased. The South is in ccstacies at the defeat of the Omnibus bill and from tho two columns in the whig organ here to-dav, the North is equally gratified ; and yet the extreme southern press and the w hig press here talk about civil war, bloodshed, kicking Texas out of the Union, and lots of other stuff, equally terrible to blockheads! Now, if everybody is pleased, and in so everlasting a good humor, in the name of "cofll-e and pistols," what are we agoing to fight aliout. Men get mad terribly, wickodlymad before they commence cutting each other's throats, in a "civil war" at least. This fighting in a good humor we don't understand. Will the hlml and thunder hero in Sugar Alley enlighten ust The Journal makes this bloody announcement: " But, if Texas thinks to hull this Union by threatening forcibly to seize New Mexico, which she could not irrest from the possession of feeble Mexico, she may yet learn to rue the consequences following from such resolutions as those passed at the Austin meeting, presided over by Chief Justice Hemphill. The first blow struck by her parricidal hand may lead to a novement to repeal the Join Resolutions of Annexation, and then she w ill stand in the position of any other foreign nation at war w ith the United States."
