THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE t2, 1851. Ishmael. "And as for Ishmael. I have heard thee: Behold T have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly " Gen. 17: 20. From (his pas. !; G.irher swems to draw consolation and comfort. When we compared him to an Ismaelite, we had reference to the declaration of the angel of the L'rd rrade to Hagar in the wilderness, that the son which she should bear, "Will le a wild man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand shall ! against him." The declaration which he quotes alove was made to Ishmael after the promise had been given to Abraham of the birth of Isaac, in whom the covenant was to be established. Although the dependents of Ishmael were to become a great nation, they were to be a nation of wild men, whose hands were to be lifted against their friends ami benefactors Such has been the history of this wild and savage tribe. Unstable and shifting as water have been their habits. Cruelty has dwelt in their tents. Treachery has marked their character. If these traits do not mark the character of M. C. Garber, then we have not read the man. Last year he was the professed friend of Jesse D. Bright. He smiled to him and to his friends, whilst he was all the while stabbing him in the dark. Coming to Indianapolis with the pretence of aiding his election, he was consorting secretly with his enemies to secure b: defeat. Now he had a right to oppose the election of Mr. Bright, but he had no right to pretend to be his friend, whilst in his bosom wraukled the deepest feelings of revenge. If we have done him injustice let him by the authority of Mr. Bright, contradict our assertion. Let him call on Mr. Bright for a certificate. If we have been misinformed we will gladly correct our error. As to Mr. Bright he is able to defend himself from all soch enemies. He is an open, frank man, who never professes friendship unless he feels it. Such men we admire as much as we hate the Janus-faced hypocrite. Hence our friendship for one and our hostility to the other. If we had lent tie influence of the Sentinel to the enemies of Mr. Bright, honeyed words instead of gall and Knrmmivki. Äiiulil liavp been on the lins of tins man . . . m ., , , The TSnw- oTllnar mo.-ked at the feast to Isaac, and for that fK)was i cast out and dwelt in the wilderness, became an archer ami a wild man, and never again mingled with the legitimate children of Israel. Such will soon be the fate of this man. He may raise up around him a nation, but they will not be a chosen people. Gov. Wright's Cannelton Speeck. The Fort Wayne Times, speaking of this spcedh, says: " With a few immaterial exceptions, it is brim till of first rate Wkig doctrines, and nothing else." Now we should bi much obliged to the editor if he would just point out the Whig doctrines in that speech; we should then be able to have some id 'a what Whig doctrines were. We nnderttnd Gov. Wright to be in favor of domestic manufactures. He is also in favor of agriculture. But is he in favor of taxing the agriculturalist to protect the manufacturer? We have looked in vain fur such a sentiment in this speech. The Democratic party have never been opposed to domestic manufactures; they have, however, always been opposed to tie unjust and unequal policy of protection, by which the great agricultural interests of the country are taxed, to sustain and foster the manufacturing monopoly . They ere in favor of placing these two great intere-ts on the broad platform of equality. The fanner asks but the fertile soil, the sunshine and the shower, and the ports of the world for his market. The very existence of a revenue tariff gives to the manufacturer an advantage not enjoyed by the farmer. This boon we are willing to grant, but no more. BCThe Madison Banner complains bitterly about "old Hunkers' and fishey Whigs in Jefferson county. All ibis is doubtless owing to the absence of an efficient leader, and the' want of a reliable Whig organ. You bare whined and shed tears of regret over the insubordination of your party when you should have commanded. Yon are a tme whig, "Davy." A whig in sunshine and a whi" in darkness and gloom, for that e rather like yo0 but you were never born to command. Purify your ranks by turning over the recusants to the Democratic party, where hundreds of them would le glad to be, and what you have left will be like yourself, the pure whig coin. fCTThe Whig Convention of this coonty. recommended Hon. David Wallace, as a candidate for Prosecoting Attorney. The Journal of the same day announced that Gov. Wallace was not a candidate. What does this mean? Do they intend to take the advantage of there being two Democrat in the field, to elect the Governor without his being a candidate? AH fair. If our Democratic friends suffer thtmselves to be divided, they cannot blame their opponents for taking advantage of that division. CTHon. Jacon Thompson and A. G. Blows, membera of the last Congress from Missisippi have been nominated by conventions in their respective Districts as Southern rights candidates for Congress

Unfair. At a Whig meeting recently held in Boone county, the revenue law providing for a re-assessment of the property of the State, was denounced as a Democratic measure. We do not intend, now, to examine the justice or propriety of this measure, hut merely to state, that in its passage through both branches of the Legislature, it was advocated by b.;h Whigs and Democrats, and opposed by Whigs and Dem ocrats. On its filial passage in the House, there were-, in favor of it, 39 Democrats and 21 Whig-; against it, 17 Democrats and 11 Whigs. In the Senate, the vote was: for it, H Democrats and 8 Whig; against it, 5 Democrats and 6 Whigs. This was about an equal division, considering that the Democrats had about forty-five majority in both branches. It

wins documents. This is doubtless true. But what will Julian do. should he be elected ? If we are to judge of his future by the past, we would say he would send free soil documents to all the Democrats who vole for him, to convince them that they ought to support the j free soil candidate for the Presidency And it will, to sorae extent, have the desired effect. Now which wil . . . . . , . , .. be the most injurious to u, as a party? The one wi J make no inverts to Whiggery ; the other will carry bun dreds into the free soil ranks, where they will remain, and will forever be separated from the Deraocntic organization. For the Rocky Mountain. The steamer St. Anje left St. Louis a few days since for the mouth of the Yellow Stone river, more than two thousand miles from the mouth of the Missouri. Oae hundred trappers for various points in the Rocky Mountains were passengers. They are principally in the employ of the American Fur Company. Dr. Evans, a distinguished geologist in the employ of the Government, and Fathers DeSmedt and Horker, Catholic Priests, are among the passengers. The former goes to make a geological reconnoisanee of the country, the latter gentlemen to administer spiritual consolation and oomfort to the natives. Oregon Statesman. This is the title of a new Democratic paper just commenced at Oreffon City, by A. Bush. It favors th election of Gen. Lane as the Territorial delegate. It appears by the firt number now liefore us. that the census is 13.323; 2,273 houses; 1,830 farms, and 4" mills. The Legislature refused to print the message of Gen. Gaines, and the Legislative documents. Our dates are up to the 17th of April, and at that time intelligence of the death of Mr. Thurston had not reached Oregon. ILTA fugitive slave was arrested last week in Chicago. John Wentworth immediately published an inflammatory appeal to the people in opposition to the arrest and the law, whieh created considerable excitement. Troops were immediately ordered to be in readiness for anv emergency. But we are glad to learn that there is a determination on the part ol the citizens to sustain the public authorities, and carry out the decisions of the Court. Wentworth's appeal is severely deprecated as being subversive of law and order. Jenny Lind and Darnum. The Swedish Nightingale, by her Secretary, Max Hwber, denies that Mr. Barnutn was authorized to state that at the termination of one hundred Concei ts she would embark for Europe, and says; The only publication she has consented to, is that of the close of her en2geiient with Mr. Karnu.n, after one hundred nights. The fatigue and exertion incidental t such continuous effort, make it necessary tor her to enioy r - .... ., . , lor some time repose and relaxation. After that she may. if her strength permit, make a short tour in Western New York and Canada, in order not to disappoint those who, from expecting to hear her at home, have refrained from visiting the Atlantic cities. The .Mad i sou Hotel. This is oneof the finest houses in the State. It is now splendidly kept by our old friend and fellow-townsman, Rolert L. Browning. Those who visit Madison can always find an obliging host and excellent accommodation at this House. Bob's smiling face is worth a quarter any time. C7"Hon. Isaac E. Holmes, late a memlier of Congress from the Charleston District, South Carolina, has commenced the practice of law in San Francisco, California. O-The Columbus, Urbana, and Piqua Railroad is being run from Piqua west, on the straight line to Union, to connect with the Bellefontaine road. This will enable the Companies to give to the public a through line, from Columbrs to Indianapolis, that may be run in about seven hours, owing to the low grade, and long straight lines, of the route. Receipts from Customs. We have been indebted to the politeness of the Commissioner of tho Customs for the following comparative statements of receipts from customs, exclusive of California and Oregon, made up to the 5th instant: From July 1. 1849, to March 31, 1850 $29,819,848 In April and May, 1850 6.798,490 $36.618,490 From July 1, 1850, to March 31, 1851 $36.737,486 In April and May, 185! 7,611,577 $44.349.063 Increase $7,730,573 Republic. Cholera. This disease has made its appearance in Princeton, Ky., and five deaths had occurred up to the 5th last In New Orleans, for the week ending on the 31st ult., there were twenty deaths of cholera. The steamer Sultana, which arrived at St. Lonis on Friday last from New Orleans, had four deaths on board during the trip. The cholera bad appeared in the neighborhood of Natchez and several slaves had fallen "ictims to it. A young man by the name of Lee was landed at New Alliany from the steamer Asia on Sunday , and died soon after. He belonged at Louisville. ITThe almost continual rain during the entire spring baa made the agricultural prospeet of our county a gloomy one- Corn has been planted and re-planted, and as often washed out or drowned. Many who have not planted have given up all hopes of being able to do so. The c round keeps so wet tbat corn that is up cannot be worked, and is suffering on that account. The wheat looks well with ell the rain; it is large and gross, hot with two weeks more rain may produce nothing but straw. At present the prospect is not favorable for a large crop of grain of any kind. Wheat is 55 cents, and eorn 28 and $.Logansvort Journal.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1851.

The Products of Central Indiana. As an agricultural State, it is now conceded on all hands tbat Indiana is fast becoming one of the first in the Union. Our soil is all tillable, of the best quality; no mountains, no deserts, no soil impoverished and laid waste by long cultivation. With the increasing industry, energy, and perseverance of onr swelling population, the produce of our State must soon be immense. Wheat, Corn, and Pork may be considered our staple articles. These will be produced in a largely increasing ratio, from year to year, as our people become more and more stimulated tocultivate more land, and to put in their crops in the best manner, using the manure of their larms on their wheat lands as is done in the Eastern States. The question, then, becomes one of importance to our farmers, as to what market this large surplus shall find the best outlet. The Southern section of the State, bordering on the Oiiio and Wabash, and on tlicir navigable tributaries, has been accustomed to send its produce South to New Orleans; while the Northern and Western portions of the State, bordering on the Lakes and the Erie Canal, have sent theirs through the Lakes and I Eastern Canals to Boston and New York Tnese cbanuels for tt.esc sections of our State will probably not va ry much from their present course j, . I " of the great centre of the State, which now runs with the currents of our rivers, into that immense receptacle of Western produce, New Orleans, must shortly find a north-eastern passage, over our central railroads to the Lakas, and through them and the eastern canals and railroads to the Atlantic seaports, where it will meet the best markets in the Union, at all times. The cost of transportation is the only difficulty in the way, and that will be so regulated, no doubt, as to give the ad vantage, all things considered, to that, over the southern route by New Orleans, and then coastwise to the eastern Atlantic cities, under the risk of a southern climate, where our Flour and Pork are so liable to damage. The average conveying a bat rel of Flour, exclusive of com - missions and insurance, from Indianapolis to New York or Boston, by Njw Oilcans, is about as follows: To Madison, 30 cents; New Orleans, 40 cents; Boston, 30 cents $1. Theoost when the Lnfayette. Peru, and Be llefonlaine Railroads shall be in operation, will be about as follows: From Indianapolis to Lafayette or Peru, by railroad, 70 miles, 25 cents; by canal, 163 to 2'22 miles to Toledo, 50 cents; to New York, 50 cents

. ms SI 13. This slight difference between the south- , . , crn and northern routes, is more than overcome bv the ' - . - dinereuee in commissions, insurance, and tune, and the rjjk ju the climate; so that it is fair to conclude that nur products from central Indiana, must find a i i th-eastcrn route to market, so soon as our railroads, penetrating this section and connecting m with the Lakes, shall be completed, while the Lakes shall remain open; and by continuous railroads, when navigation by lakes and canals shall be closed, as railroad facilities will no doubt be brought as low yet, as canals. The Free-Soil Movement in Ohio. Serator Chase and Judge Sjiauidinsr, of the Supreme Bench, have been holding an abolition love feast at To. It-do, in which the former denounced the law as unconstituiional and void, and the latter declared that as a judicial officer he should regard it the crowning act of his life, to have an opportunity to discharge a fugitive from arrest, should one lie brought before him. For this declaration Judge Spauhling ought to be impeached and removed from offiee. The new Constitution which we think will be adopted, will, however remove him before there could be any legislative action. If this law is unconstitutional and void, there is a higher judicial trihnnal which can decide the question. Why not submit it for their decision? The reason is obvious. These gentlemen know the Supreme Court of the United States would declare the law constitutional ; then their power to agitate would be at an end. Periodicals. The International Jorune.

Resolved, That this Convention, without reserve, approve of the measures recently adopted by Congress, styled "the Compromise," and that the Democracy ol this Congressional District desire no nobler or more comprehensive platform of principles to base their success upon in the coming election.

Retolved, That we are in favor of supporting the Constitution of the United States, and of securing to the people of every State all the rights and privileges guarantied to each bv that sacred instrument . and we are for carrying out all its provisions both in letter and spirit.

Borden to represent the tenth District; ami that we will use all honorable etc . . i forts to secure Ins e lection. The Tenth District. We clip tho following from the Bluffton Banner. We have known Judge Borden since he first set bis foot on the soil of Indiana, and a more unwavering and zealous democrat has never lived in the Slate. Those wbigs who are now so sanguine of defeating him will be most fgregiously mistaken. His election is a fixed fact, which neither the Hawkins nor the Brentons can overthrow. Thirty-second Congress. Tho nomination of the Hon. James W. Borden, as the Democratic candidate for Congress of the lUih Congressional District is hailed by the people generally, as a judicious and just act of the Democrats. Judge Borden has long and ably defended and advocated our principles. Wherever bis let has been east, he has always been a faithful exponent of the rights of man, and the true policy of our Government. When the destiny of our Slate was wielded by at overwhelming whig majority, who so fearlessly stood forth, to contend for Democratic measures as J. W. Borden, Eq? Like the stately oak, exposed to the blast of storms, he maintained his position. When our party was weak and wavering, he triumphantly strengthened our sinews. His fortune and his toil by the mi -night lamp, has gloriously aided us to victory. What we have achieved through his influence and instrumentality, has been our gain but to him a sacrifice. The history of the Democratic paly, published by him some years ago, contained more political history than any publication since issued. In getting up this work it was to him a great pecuniary aacritice. in money and time devoted to its compilation, and also subjected him to the shafts and venom of his political opponents. No stone was left unturned by them to injure his reputation, or to thwart his aspirations. Obloquy and defamation were unmeasurably meted out to him. But the storm spent its. fury, the lowering clouds were brushed away, a huppy and significant dawn blessed his untiring efforts in our cause. Fountain County. This is one of the counties in Indiana which during the darkest hour of anti-slavery excitement, never bowed the knee to the Baal of Wilmot. She is still sound. At tlia-late Democratic County Convention, the following tesolutions wera adopted. They are plain and explicit and speak the right language. Read them. - Resolved, iHral while we recognize progress in all human affair, whether social r&ffjßl or political, we will abstain from any all connexion, or adherence to political questions, suited in their operation to mere localities, dependent for promotion on sectional interests or furnishing capital to fanaticism. That i ii jjWLolilRRyjps to -the government of the United States!pr?rWSWy7we recognize no M higher law" than the Constitution itself. To its compromises we adhere have an abiding consciousnes of the justice, generosity and lilierality of its various provisions and that we will sustain all legitimate enactments thereunder. That the so called " Fugitive Slave Law" in its operations meets the exactions of the Constitution on the subject ol fugitives from labor, and that we cannot confCat to support any one for a seat in the Congress of the United Stales who cannot yield his assent thereunto. 0"An event very similar to the one narrated below happened not far from our office a few evenings since. Though the gentlemen engaged in the affair were not dancing masters, they still showed that they were adepts in a ''break-down." A professor of motion vulgarly called a dancing-master undertook to drive a lady down the Shell road at N. Orleans. Thinking he could go the big figure, he went it at a dashing pace; but being rather a novice at holding the ribbands, and less dexterous with his hands than his feet, his pacer went as he pleased now right, now left, and now down the middle, 'till finally coming in contact with a caniage, off flew the wheel, and down went the disciple of Terpsichore and his fair charge. Mv dear?" said he, springing up again and making a chasse over to the lady, "My dear! you arc not hurt are you. "Not mush," she aaid ; "not much." "Curse it"' he said, "this comes from my bad driving." "Yes," said she, "I always knew you excelled in a quadrille or a polka, but I now find you are not to be beat in a break-downf" C7The State Journal learns that a Telegraph Line will be constrncted bttween this place and Indianapolis in the course of a few weeks. The trtnd-tpor on. this line has been in operation about two years, and it is to be hoped that without any more gassing, the work will be proceeded with immediately. It is needless to talk of the necessity and the benefits to be derived from this connection with onr sister city ; tbey are evident to the minds of everybody. All we wonder at is, that the M. k. I.
