Punctual attendance at the time is requested, and my con petitors, David Wallace and Hiram Brown, are respectfully invited to attend the above appointments. CThe Danville Advertiser will please to give the above appointments for Hendricks county an insertion. The anti-slavery excitement in Ohio, New York, aad all New England, is generally abating, and political parties seem to be assuming their old positions in line again. The declaration of John Van Buren that the democratic party was to be dissolved, is not likely to be realized. Whilst Seward with unyielding stubbornness will refuse to take a single step backwards, he is losing bis adherents by thousands. John Van Buren will endeavor to get into the democratic convention to make trouble; but he will be unable to move the mountain to Mahomet, and will therefore, like a sensible man, come to the mountain himself. This he can do with great propriety, for there never was a time that he would not have joined the fire eaters at the South, to have elected his lather to the presidency. He has no conscientious scruples on the slavery question. It has been, with him, a mere pretenp to rally around him a class of men who would aid him to break down that political party which he and his lather could no longer control. In Indiana, there has never been much anti-slavery feeling. By this we mean a disposition to interfere with the institution as it exists. The old liberty party never numbered three thousand in the State, and Mr. Van Buren, with all the defections from the whig and democratic ranks, only received 8,100 votes. The Wilraot Proviso was generally sustained by the whig party, not se much as a matter of principle, but as an element of Opposition to the democratic administration of Mr. Polk. On the passage of the late compromise measures, oae of them, the fugitive slave law, met with very decided opposition from that party. Every whig press in the State, with one or two exceptions, opposed the law. But thanks to the firmness of President Fillmore and his cabinet, when the whigs of Indiana saw that opposition to these measures was regarded at Washington as opposition to the administration, a great change was prcI, and we think the great body of the whigs are not only in favor of obedience to the law, but oppo sed to its repeal or material modification. The democratic party, with a disinterested patriotism which their love of country, sustained tbe President on great question, with as murh zeal as if he had been the man of their choice. Does any one believe that such would have been the action of the whig party on this trying question, if Gen. Cass had succeeded to the Presidency ' No. They never would have yielded the Wilmot Proviso, or have consented to pay Texas ten millions to secure the title to New Mexico, nor have acquiesced in the fugitive slave law. Not if their adherence had shivered the Union into atoms, unless the honest masses had risen up and overruled the leaders. In tbe conflicts growing oat of tbe settlement of these embarrassing questions, party ties have been loosened aad party distinctions in a measure have been lost sight of. Ia Georgia and Mississippi, and to some extent in Alabama end North Carolina, parties are broken up aad divided into " Union " and " Southern Rights." In Georgia and Mississippi both Cobb and Foote, who are candidates for Governor, of tbe Union party, are demoerats, yet they are supported by the Union whigs, which constitute a majority of the party. The majority of the Southern Rights party in these States are democrats. Hew these parties will stand in the coming contest for the presidency depends on the opinions of the candidates. ii uuiu iuvci.iiuiuBi.es are men "i national viowi. noi i . . . , . . .... imhnM with the msH anirit ot la.imtioiam tho ol.) nur im i . i" -L. .i ' r : i . ;i a k. .v. . . . . i" i .

Personalities of the Press. We have occasionally been drawn into personal con-

) tests with political opponents, but we have the gratifica tion to know that such assaults have always been but the return for blows given. As the conductor of a public journal, we mean never to impair the usefulness of our paper by filling its columns with low personalities The vast power of the press should be exerted to improve the morals and cultivate the kindly and social feelings of society. It is natural, when assailed to resist. This we intend always to do with earnestness, but in respectful language. The man who repels an assault by coarse -tod vulgar epithets, betrays his education and lowers liiraseli ia the estimation of all whose good opinions are worth preserving. We have been led into these reflections by looking over the Indiana Statesman, whose Editor has been absent for some time, but has now returned, ' as his readers will discover, by the low personalities in the last number. The Statesman was commenced with the avowed obact to break dowu the Sentinel, and to "drive Bill i Brown out of the State," to use the chaste language ol Dr Ellis This he has not yet accomplished We are an older citizen of the State of Indiana thau the Editor of the Statesman We have placed our Jacob staff here, and here we will remain Not to bandy epithets or to degrade our paper into a low sewer of vindictive personalities but to vindicate truth and combat error whenever and wherever we find it In this plain path of doty we mean to walk. The assaults of the Statesman and iU sympathiser, the Madison Courier, can neither change our coursi or disturb the eqnanimity of our temper. That our readers may know what sort of a comjetitor we have, in the Auditor of State, we copy the following from the last numlier. In future we shall adopt this course of noticing his assaults. Onr reader's can then draw the contrast and judge where the error lies: Garner apologises to the descendants of Judas Iscariot for having supposed Bill Brown was descended from that ; notorious character. He thinks he done Judas injustice. i He is novr of the opinion that Brown "came in the direct line from the Thief who mocked the Savior on the cross, a,ui wDr WBÄ cruc'ned Rt ln0 same -a." Very likely, Now whether our ancestors were thieves or robbers ) - has nothing to do with the question at issue. We claim to xr'ied on onr own merits, and we shall never inquire who were the ancestors of out assailants. They were no doubt better than their descendants. But we only alluded to this to show our readers and the Democracy of Indiana the desperate efforts that are made to break us down. Wc have however the consolation to know that each mail brings us the substantial evidence of the popularity of oor paper. For these favors wc are grateful. In times past when assailed by the tongue of slander, theJ I people came to our reseat, and showed their confidence at the ballot-box. The Nixth DisTaiCT. The editor of the LaUyelte Journal, who bad attended one of the appointments oJ Messrs. Fitch and Colfax, says: ' Colfax has many warm personal friends among the democrats, and another thing, he will receive tbe mass of the free soil vote, although that party will have a candidate in the field." This shows the dishonesty ol" the Free Soil party. Whilst Julian is abusing the whigs. Fillmore, Webster, und the administration, in the fourth district, to secure democratic votes, the great body of the Free Soilers in the other districts are supporting the whig candidates for Congress, who are pledged to sustain the administration of Mr. Fillmore. ZIT The Frankfort Compiler copies an article from the Statesman, in relation to the Whig nomination in the Terre Haute District, which concludes as follows: " Ned McGaughey is doomed, and Bill Brown can't save him either. Mark that. Now- we hope our friend of the Compiler will do us the justice to say that he has seen no evidence in the columns of tho Sentinel to testify the assertion that "Bill Brown'' desires to save him under any circumstances. Mr. McGaughey was one of the three Whigs, from tbe North, who, in tho last Congress voted for the fugitive slave law ; for that vote a faction of Whig free-soilers tried to defect his nomination. We were rejoiced when Mac triumphed over that clique, believing such factions, to be an injury to the country. We rejoice at their downfall wherever thev are found : but we shall be much more rejoiced at the triumph of a Democrat on tbe first Monday in August. We are for the men, and the principles of the Democratic party. No sympathy with Whigs, when competing against Democrats. No sympathy with abolitionists, no difference who their competitors may be. The Claim Business. Tho New York Herald, of Saturday, has an article on claim hunting, which is worthy of a reading The following is a part of it : These Florida claims, as well as the Mexicaa claims, have shown that there has grown up a practice at Washington, in tbe House, in the Senate, and even in tbe Cab inet, which, in a national and moral point of view, isdis- i reputable and reprehensible to the last degree. In these j bodies, it has become common for individual members to become agents for claims, by which under the denomination oi fees, per centages, and the like vast sums are received by some members of the House ot Representa- i tives, of the Senate, and even by some of those in the Cabinet, when it is well known that but for their positions at Washington, they never would have been employed in such agencies at all. Now, on these Florida claims, what a spectacle are we to behold to use the mildest phrase of moral and political independence! There are nine hundred thouand dollars to be a subject for the consideration of Congress, and we shall see some of these very atrents votin? upon the measure, in the success of which they are per- j sonally, deeply and peculiarly interested. This is what, I when applied to another case, in which some members j of the cabinet of the late President Taylor were engag- ! ed, has passed into history as Galphinism a designation for political pecuniary profligacy and peculation. And, with regard to these very Florida claims, as well as the i Mexican claims, it has already been admitted that a member of the present cabinet Mr. Corwin has received a very large sum for his services. When a Senator in Congress, he was employed as counsel , and though it is true that he sold out his interest when he became a memtier of the cabinet, for something like eighty thousand . dollars, more or less, yet what man of high political integrity, does not recognize even in such an act, an in- i stance of official easy virtue, unbecoming the character of an American statesman. Though by legal parlance there may lie no crime yet this, in the eyes of the peopit, and in the code of morality, must ever be regarded as an instance for public censure. The practice of persons in office receiving fees and per centages by which they acquire large sums or any sums of money, is one that ought not to be tolerated. ! If corruption is to be tolerated in the least, we can never put boundaries tojits natural disposition to spread in every ' direction, and to infect the entire government. Instead ' of endeavoring to eke out a miserable existence, under the ban of the public voice, by being questionable agents j of questionable claims, which blasts the individual charicier ef the country, let a system of remuneration for , public services be fashioned, which will render our public men more moral, more independent, more manly, ; and more thoroughly American. Emahcipatiom or Slaves. A provision has been adopted by the Virginia Reform Convention, in Committee of tbe Whole, prohibiting the Legislature of the mine c.. r i ,l .

Pitcher Presentation. The following article from the Louisville Journal exbibits a most favorable contrast with tbe snappish, snarling, ill-natured and illiberal articles, which have appeared in the Brookville American: We have read with much interest an account of tbe proceedings on the occasion of the presentation of a silver pitcher to Hon. R. D. Owen, by tbe ladies of Indiana. We stated some months ago that the ladies of that State designed conlerring such honor on Mr. Owen, as an acknowledgtment of bis efforts in the State constitutional convention to secure to married women independent rights in property, as k is been done in New York, Pennsylvania, and other Stales. The presentation took place on the 2Sth ultimo, in the State House in Indianapolis, in tbe presence of an immense and very interested assemblage. Judge Smith, of tbe Supreme Court, presided, and Professor Larrabee, of the Indiana Asbury University, made the presentation address on invitation of the ladies. The occasion is said to have been ouc-of the most interesting ever witnessed in the State. The addresses were all able and appropriate. We have read Mr. Owen's speech, and consider it eminently suited to th

ocr asion and very creditable to bim . Whenever ho step aside trom pontics and enters tne domains oi literature or science, lie exhibits all those rich traits of culture which grace the minds of genuine scholars. The ad dress before us is full of classic beauty, and proves its author to be a gentleman of fine taste and extensive mental accomplishments. It is but rare indeed that we find one who is a politician that has the power to produce such evidences of study and refined taste as Mr. Owen's address embodies. It is highly ingenious in its argument, potent and graceful in its logic, scholarly and dignified in its tone, and replete with beauty in all its parts. The pitcher, which was in this city a few days ago, is one of the most beautiful ever made in this country. It was manufactured by W. E. Rose, of New York, and reflects the greatest credit on his taste. It weighs fortyfour ounces, is sixteen inches high, and is most richly chased. The handle is in the form of the stem of a vine, and is a very close imitation of nituie. It separates into two branches as it appioaches the body of the pitcher, and spreads over the surface in vine leaves and bunches of grapes. The edges of the base and the spout are formed of the tendrils of the vine. The effect is exceedingly beautiful, and no one can look on the pitcher and not admire both the exquisite design and superb execution. The pitcher was purchased with money contributed by the ladies of Indiana, no one being permitted to contribute more than one dollar. It shows how grateful the sex feel toward those who are zealous and able in the advocacy of their rights. Mr. Owen's effort did not quite succeed, but we have no doubt that in the course of a few years his proposition will become the law of the State. The presentation of this pitcher and the circumstances connected with it will certainly hasten that day. The Financial Condition of the Country. Mr. Corwin, at the commencement of the last session of Congress, made an alarm report, in which he fore shadowed nn awful condition ol the public Treasury, unless Congress would interpose to check the pernicious operations ol tie tariff ol 184b. It is certainlv a matter of great interest and gratulation, that six months only have been required to shew how little Mr. Corwin really knew of the condition and prospects of the commerce and revenue of the country and not less so. that in the falsification of his views the laboring and producing in terests hold an ample guarantee that thev are to remain, at least for a while lousier, free from the heavy burdens of an exclusively Protective laritl. I he present advalorem system of levying duties, has been a subject of special assault by the Class interests in the hands of the whigs, and we venture to say that more has been written to show how much the revenue has been delrauded how much money has been diverted, in fact, from the public treasury by fraudulent invoices and Consular certin cates, than has been said and written in behalf of agri. cultutal and other industrial interests, in the last twenty five years, in the fiscal year ending the 30th of the presen: month, the revenues will exceed fifty millions of dollars hve millions ot dollars above Mr. Corwin s estimate at the commencement of the last session of Conzress. If the Government has been so shamelessly de fraude. . how is it that that the revenues are thus on this rapidly ascending scale? Mr. Webster and the whig oracle on finance in IS 15, Mr. Evans of Maine, estima ted the revenues under the present tariff at about twenty millions. New the income has reached fifty millions, and we are told that but for the defective manner of levying duties, it would go far higher. But in truth the snecific plan of duties wnich the whigs seek to put in the place of the present advalorcm system, is a deceptive means of raising the duties to the plan of individual demands. We have had some experience an experience extending through millions of dollars, and embracing thousands of invoices and we have never yet heard of an instance of fraud being practiced by under valuations and false certificates, and we do not believe that such frauds have been or can be committed under existing regulations. The foreign invoice certificates are not conclusive of the value of goods imported. On arriving in this country they are subjected to the inspection of Surveyors who value tbe articles imported, without any reference to the invoice valuations, and tbe duties are fixed upon the foreign value under such appraisal. If tbe foreign valuations are too low, they are marked up if too high no credit is given but the duties are charged above the invoice price Where is the chance for fraud? Detroit Fre Frets. Steam ou the Canals. G. Parker, of Mass., has patented an invention for the usa of steam power on canals, which promises great advantages. A boat, called the Virginia, constructed on this plan, recently arrived at New York fron Cumberland. Md., with three large barges laden with coal, which she towed through the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, Potomac river, Chesapeake Bay. Delaware and Chesapeake Canal, Delaware river, and Raritan Canal, a distance of nearly 500 mi.es She is about 100 tons burthen, and has t o engines, rated at 15 horse power each ; and the only tb.ngs that differ from ordinary steamboats is the peculiar shape of her buckets, and the addition of a float back of the wheel, which is iü the centre of the boat. The buckets ure bent so as to form the segment ol a circle, and they enter and leave the water without creating tbe great motion caused by the ordinary paddles. Should, however, the power required cause any swell, the raging waters are smoothed down and pacified by the float that follows the wheel. This float can be raised or lowered as circumstances may require. Tho owners of this boat assert that they can take a train of freight boats, leaded with 800 tons of coal, from the Cumberland Mines to tide water, at a speed of four miles per hour, at one-third to one-half the price at which the work can be done by horse power : and the boats can I passed through the locks without detaching them, and in less time than is required by the same number of boat, propelled separately. Buffalo Courier. The WoaLD's Fair. The English papers are profuse in their rid.cnle of the American portion of the Great Exhibition, and sneeringly inquire, ''Why the Committee asked so ranch room, when they were unable to fill it?" S-'ine of their amateur writers also condemn the di- play of American productions, and intimate tnat Brother Jonathan is celebrated for nothing but wooden nutmegs and mammoth pumpkins. A reply in kind to both the query and the sneer, would be, that "the Committee reserved the vacant space for a certain seaboat called tbe Pacifio ; but that our people, being naturally in a hurry, and unwilling :o be over ten days in crossing the big pond, could not spare her until they had time to build a faster one'" To be serious; no one conversant with the state of things here, could have expected from this country a display of jewels, plate, and rich silk tissues to match the glittering stores collected from the old world. There '- as much difference between the two Continents in this respect as there was between the ruffled British Grenadier and the ragged, barefooted, Continental Soldier in the days of our fathers; the one was adorned for a sacrifice, the other simply girded for a mighty purpose. X. Y. Journal of Commerce. EA very large part of the newspapers at the South are dealing with the Secessionists pretty much as we and other Northern papers have dealt with tho Abolitionists. Thev pive them no quarter. They tell them that they are doing more mischief than their heads are worth; and that they shall not secede until there is a better cause for so doing than exists at present. If ever a secession should take place, it will be a secession not of South Carolina only, but of the whole South; and the cause will be a deliberate, wilful violation of the Constitution, or tbe Compromise, (which so fares the Fugitive Slave Law is concerned, is a mere carrying out of the Constitution.) by the people of the North. Jr. F. Journal of Commerce. Farming ijr Cali forma. The Sacramento. Tranertpr mentions the suocess of Mr. Hornir in the agricultural way. His ranch, which composes about 1000 acres of fine land, in the San Jose valley, and is fenced with wire at an expense of $10,000, last' season yielded him $223,000. The expense of eighty hands was $80,000, only 300 acres beingunder cultivation. Thisaeason he has tho whole 1000 acres planted, and the promise of a good yield is good. XTMr. Webster in a letter to Jno. M. Botts, of Va., eorrec.s the telegraphic report of bis speech, reading 'Gent lernet:, I regret slavery exists in the Southern States, and that Congress bas no power ortr it.' He declares to Mr. Botts tbat he said 'Gentlemen, I regret exceedingly that slavery exists in tbe Southern States, bat Congress has no power to aet upon it.'

TUESDAY EVEMNfi, JULY 1, 1831.

The Cambridge Convention. The Democratic Mass Convention which assembled at Cambridge, after adopting a series of resolutions, 1 separated without making any nomination for Congress, leaving each and every Democrat free to vote for either Julian or Parker, or not to vote at all, as seemeth right 1 m their own eyes. Now we hope the great mass of the x party, who have always stood firm, will choose the lat- j ter alternative. By so doing, they will neither unite : themselves with the whig parly, by supporting Parker, t or do what we regard as infinitely worse, attach themselves to the free-soil abolition organization by supporting Julian. On tbe resolution submitted by Judge Test in favor of making a democratic nomination, the vote was ayes 160, noes 181. We think the future will prove the decision of the Convention to have been wrong. It may not effect the elections this ummer, but will, we fear, prove disastrous to us nextyear, when we shall have the most important election that has oc-1 curred since the organization of our State government, to say nothing of the election for President, which will take place a few days later.

vuc oasis oi wiese resolutions we nave a question or two. What democrat approving the first resolution can support Julian when they are informed that during the last session he voted with tbe whigs and freesoilers for the most corrupt log-rolling unconstitutional bill for internal improvements ever introduced into Con gress? What democrat approving the second can support bim ? He declared he would disregard the Fugitive Slave law and trample it under his feet. Alter the passage of the oompromise measures, when all good men were endeavoring U quiet agitation and allay the terrible storm which for months had been raging, Julian obtained the floor, and out of time and out of place, made the most fcrious and incendiary speech ever uttered in the Hall of Congress. In that speech he openly advocated resistance to tbe law, and proclaimed to the South, to use his own language. " that their newly vamped Fugitive bill cannot be executed in that portion of Indiana which J have the honor to represent." " The moral sense of our people will revolt at its provisions, and set them at defiance." How many democrats in the Fourth District are willing to endorse these sentiments by their votes ' This is an important question, which the ballot box alone can determine. We have seen it stated that Mr. Julian is not in favor of the repeal of the Fugitive bill, but in favor of some modification. We do not understand such to be his position. If we are to judge from his speeches, he occupies the same position as Raiitoul, Chase, Hale, and Giddings, in favor of unconditional repeal, assuming that Congress has no right to pass any law on the subject, but the power alone exists in ?.he States. In his memorable speech he declared " Repeal must be the fixed resolve of the non-slaveholdinp States, and the people of the South should distinctly understand that there can be no harmony with slave-holders until that resolve is consummated' Here is a declare- - . m m. tion of war on the law, and a declaration in favor of continued agitation until that law is repealed. Now what advantare can it be to send Mr. Julian to Poncrre., for the avowed object of agitating the slave question and opposing the compromise measures ?

Next Governor of Indian a The Madison Courier in its desperate struggles for existence, charges us with being in favor of John W. Davis, for Governor. This is certainly a new idea. We mean

to take no part in the selection of rr en, except to urge our friunds to do their duty, and nominate capable, sound and consistent Democrats for office, and such we will cordially support. We have no evidence that Dr. Davis desires such a nomination: if he does and is selected by the Democratic convention, we are for his election. We can say the same of our present Governor, and of twenty other democrats in the State. We are for the nominee. We published the card of twenty-seven democrats with- , drawing their support from the Courier, because having previo-isly expressed our opinion of that paper and its editor, we regarded this card as the best evidence thul our assertions were true.

The basis of that convention, in the nomination of its candidate, will unquestionably be the Baltimore pktforra of 1848, with its direct practical application to the support of the compromises for the adjustment, of the ilave agitation in Congress.
