INDIANA STATE SENTINEL.

WIL Li A M J. BROWN, Editor. : IDIAXAtOLI8, MARCH 15, 1851. Col. Benton. This distinguished ex-Senator is lying ill at his residence in Washington City, with a severe attack of the mall pox. At the last intelligence, he was considered out of dangtr. He did not attend the sittings of the Senate for the last ten days of the session Commissioner of Patents. George T. Cdrtis, of Boston, has been appointed Commissioner of Patents, vice Thomat Ewbxnk, re moved. Mr. Curtis is a " Silrtr Gray," and the particular friend of Mr. tfebster. Ewbank was an old fogy, of more learning than common sense, more in favor of Seward's higher law, than the jnst and honest ad ministration of the Patent laws. Cttssi'u M. Clay fs the emancipation candidate for Governor of Kentucky . He has already commenced the canvass, and will visit the principal counties before the election. Capt. Clay is a gentleman of talents bold and fearless and will j make some noise before he finishes the canvass, but the chances are that ho will either kill somebody, or bo kill- 1 ed before that time arrivet.

A mere by-word, which sets very easy upon Ilishfaluten on the Wabash, their seared consciences. Somebody who writes for a little paper at Perrysville, This charge, in its length and breadth, is false, and whose heart, like a leer-mug, is ovetruning with syinwe are prepared to prove, that when the editor penned I pathy for the "panting fugitive,"' says, speaking of the article he knew that there was no truth in it.

Mr. Bright had a lawful right to transmit them through the mails under his orBcial frank, and wc are prepared to prove that the ,. . . . , . . , editor knew this fact when the article was published. Mr. Bright will return in a few days; let him meet his neighbor face to face, and not resort to tho cowardly mode of whipping him over the shoulders of an innocent man. Zy The New Albany Ledger, speaking of the Fugi- j tive Slave Law says: It is true, some of the provisions of thc law are harsh very harsh and might with propriety be amended, as suggested by Senator Bright: but rather than see the agitation resumed, we would prefer to let the law remain precisely as it is. This is the second timo this paper has attempted to misrepresent thc views of Senator Bright on the fugitive slave law, and in a former article a private conversation is iniroouceu. .or tne purpose oi snowing mat ne was in favor of a modification of the law, by removing what is j here termed some of its ' harsh provisions." Mr. Bright has avowed himself opposed to disturbing any one of the compromise measures; and such articles, we believe, are ' . I i e .1 . . .i . . . 1 to his injury. The law introduced by Mr. Bright was j intended as a mere explanatory enactment, by providing that nersons who had incurred nenalties nn.W the ar t of 1733 should not be released from tbe payment of those i penalties, by the passage of the late law. Had the bill passed it would have been regarded by the enemies of! the Constitution and law, as an extremely harsh measore. So that the editor either does not understand what he is talking about, or is attempting wilfully to misstate the views of Mr. Bright, to bolster up his own doubtful position on this question. ; The JWadison Lojirier.

The Lafayette Courier is backing out of its opposition ! to the fugitive slave law as fast as circumstances will allow.

Forty pews were sold in the new Methodist Church, Norfolk, on Thursday, 2d January, for the sum of $10,fwvl I l t A C tJ I 0 which was a premium ol $500 upon the assessed , value. It is said there is nothing new under the son, but to us the sale of pews in a Methodist Church is certainly something new. It is, however, but another evidence of the progress of the age. The good old fathers of the church never thought of such a thing. Their churches in those days of christian purity, were like their religion, free to all that, in sincerity of heart, sought to enter. 1 T The Tehiiantepce treaty with Mexico has been

He made an unsuccessful attempt to betray Gen. Taylor, he has at last succeeded in openly bolting from and lietrnving Gen.

The work is, of course, a very interesting one, and we know of no pleasanter way of spending a few hours than in reading it. Southern Nullification. Maj. Donelson, of Tennessee, now in Washington, tells an anecdote which shows the extent of Southern secession down that way: Coming up the Southern rontj from Memphis, he fell in w.tli an old man. whom he fancied, and with whom he entered into conversation, by asking him whether he had lately heard any thing nloui nullification ; he (Major Donelson) having seen little or nothing of it of late. The old man replied that he was probably taken for a man who knew little of anything ; but for all that, he bad known Gen. Jackson, and would now tell Major Donelson that he had three sons, and that if any one of these turned nullificr, he would not kill liiiu.but exchange him for a dog, and thea kill thc dog. It is impossible for an old man to use a more energetic fijrare. O" Philadelphia educates in her public Schools 4.").000 children at six dollars and forty-two cents each yearlv.

My reasons for this preference (apart from reasons purely personal and private) is, that I liccame satisfied during the last term of my service in Congress, that .

There are abundant indications that the Anti-Slavery agitation is on the wane. Like Ami-Masonry, AntiTariff, Missouri Restriction, Sunday Mail, and other popular excitements, the present Anti-Slavery agitation ; will soon ccae to disturb thc political waters or, if it do I continue to disturb them, its ripples will be broken and I obliterated by other disturbing owcrs. The political condilion of the country is now very similar lo that of 182 1 -'22, wheu the Presidential ques:ion began to agitate i lie public minJ. Tho whole North was equally excited, and much more unanimous than I now, in asserting its power to exclude from admiMou new States which by their Constitutions tolerated the existence of slavuiy. The unconstitutionality of such invidious distinction was not tir?n so generally known or understood as it is now. Tue old Federalists advocated ; the restriction with the view of dividing lb Democratic I party. In this they were for a while successlul. The country was divided for a short period into but tvo sectional parties; and as bitter and acrimonious feelings existed between Northern snd Southern leaders as are now known to exist between thc politicians of the present day. But thc Presidential question soon extinguished up interest in otucr questions. tuen, as now, inanv distinguished statesmen became candidates for the Pies'. Adams, the Aoi thorn candidal? received a minority ol i ne electoral voics. ne received 04 vui.'s, Wime sae other candidates all Southern gcntlem?n received 1 S7 votes. This showt how rapidly and completely the Presidential questleu then (in 121,) absorbed and extinguished lhc sectional feeling. The same results may be reasonably exnoeted n.iw.

Yes, he did make that announcement, and it would bavo b en true had whig policy prevailed.

SELAR BUTLER. Felir uary Married or Not Marrsd. Under this head a day or two since we published an article containing sonic singular details derived from an advertisement of Sclar Butler, in which he disclaims a marriage with a lady of mis ci:y , and which she and her friends altediie to have taken place hereon th-- Idhof July Ian. The rejoinder of the lady will be fiund in our columns this morning. We have also seen the affidavits of respectable ladies, set- , tin:, birth that Sclar Uutlcr uat in tlie city on the day oi the nllcugcü marriage, which he denies in his hi st com munication in this paper.

Sclar Butler is second clerk on a steamboat, and uas at the time K these ocm a M ctirrciu-es a young man of famd rcputai'on. It may not be improper to add in Ir.is connection, taat the marriage was never consummated. Our gallatry is not sutliciciitly extravagant in its tendencies to lead us to lak . up thc lance in her defence, hut from the t -stiraony adduced, we cannot but lean to the opinion that there is an injured woman iu the case. The Clos.ug Hours of the XXXIst Congress. Yesterday at noon saw the closing of the most important Congress that has been held in tins country in twenty years. It was marked as well at The lieginninsr as at the close, by scenes of turbulence and division ol t: e most ominous character, and it will long be remember-

O" The Cunnelton Economist, in reb. iking t'iose who are making prophecies ''that it will noi be much of a place after all' makes the follow ing humorous comparison: 'There are some however, who, like the young wo- , men that married Shcm, Ham und Japhet, merely to get into the family of Noah in order to le saved from the deluge, are shrewd enough to take an interest in ali urs here, and who iu their belief that il will be something nf a place, arc managing their business to considerable advantage. T ie deluge proved tho wisdom of the young women who marri-d isliem, Ham, and Japhet. and were thereby saved from drowning. Tin continual growth and increasing prosperity of Cannclton. in like manner ; demonstrates the wisdom of those who made early investments therein." No allusion to Factory girls, eh I strange Fact.

In the severest part of the winter there was scarcely a we k in w bieh numbers did not leave some of the Lish ports to lake shipping at Liverpool for America. But the great bulk of the emigrants make their arrangements to leave in the spring months, selling off their little stock and household effects, and husbanding their resources for some lime previously . Tue accouuts from all parts of the country state that vast numbers, including farmers, country traders, and several of the smaller gentry, ore preparing to "try their fortune in the new country;" and la-fore the close of the present month, the emigrant agents at the various outports will be in lull occupation. In the port of Dnblin there arc vessels receiving passengers, to proceed direct to America: some ships have already sailed; and considerable nuniners take their departure daily by steamers from Liverpool. In Waterford and other ports the piays are crowded with emigrants, many of them farmers of the betters, who take the Liverpool route. The remittance from Irish settlers in America are daily increasing. ar.l consi.K rable sums are jiaid bv the banks in Dublin, and the branch banks in tbe country towns, chiefly amongst the humbler classes of the pcasanty, who are thus provided with the means of emigrating. Altogether it appears likely that thc emigration during the present year will be fully equal to that oj last or any previous' year, notwithstanding the long continued drain rf the population and the havoc- oC a protracted and desolating famine.
