Library Defalcation Rain. We clip the following from the last Statesman: As Mr. Brown seems desirous of knowing oor opinion in this case; we shall tell him candidly that we believe, that at the time the investigation was commenced be was a defaulter to the State, and would have been expelled as uch from the Legislature if that one hundred dollars had not been advanced. which enabled the committee to make the report they did. If it is not so why don't Mr. Brown call upon the State to refund that hundred dollars ? If it was paid wrongfully the State owes him that amount and ten years interest. Do yon want the money Mr. Brown? Or do you acknowledge the cornf Why does Dr. Ellis, with all the facts in his posses- j sion. cntinue willfully to misrepresent this case. If W. J. Brown had been a defaulter on the day he took his seat as a member of the Legislature no subsequent pay- i ment could have made him eligible and no one knows that fact better than Dr. Ellis. Before ihe Legislature met wc settled the account and finding a charge of one hundred dollars, which we , 4, , i A I ,;,,. then thought, and now think, to be unjust, but wismng to avoid all controversy, we paid it with our own hands to George H. Dunn, Esq., Treasurer of State, and took his receipt for the same. This was before the msetkig of; the Legislature, before the committee had been created, or the question brought up. CTSamucl A. Huff, Esq., the free-oil candidate for Congress in the Lafayette District, has declined. The free-soil vote will now lie cast for David Brier, the whig candidate. The free-soilers in Wayne and Henry counties pretend to have a holy horror fo Fillmore and Weoster, but they are supporting Walts, Brier, and Brenton, in the Third, Eighth and Tenth Districts, who are the regular whig administration candidates. So much for consistency In not a single District in the State, arc the democrats receiving any support from the frei-soilcrs. In what District are the Democrats supporting the free-soil candidates? Rumor says in the Wayne District. Wo hope, however, for the credit of Indiana it is not true. The frco-soilers have no sympathy with the democrats. That democrats should snpport their candidates is unreasonable, and therefore we believe the rumor alluded to untrue. IfO... ) ... . ........ La - - - - 1 BA.iiAn.l Wa . r therefore, as much interested in the success of the Democracy in the "Burnt Dutrict," as in ar.v other part of the State." State Sentinel. Mr. Brown has a qneer way ef showing his interest for the success of the democracy of this District. He goes for the election of Sam. Parker, a man who has been a bitter reviler of democratic men and measures all his life, except when he had some selfish purpose to accom pi ish . Je ff er ton ia n . We do not go for Mr. Parker. We have advised oar democratic friends in this contest, which is between a whig and an abolitionist, to vote for neither. Bat we docharge that James Elder, Esq., the editor of the Jeffersonian 'goes for" Julian "who has been a bitter reviler of democratic men and measures all his life except when he had some selfish purpose to accomplish." A revilet of Jackson, of Polk, and of Cass. We leave the question to the democracy which of us is on the right ground. Fern and Indianapolis Railroad. Wherever we go, and with whomsoever, latterly, we engage in a conversation on the subject of Railroads, and our railroad city, mention is sure to be made of this line. Much interest is being awakened with regard to it: mach surprise is manifested at the progress, prospects, and business of the road. A contract by the company through Mr. Burk, their President, for the early completion of the whole line has been concluded with Messrs. Prall, Sickels, and others of I N.-w York City. This Company propose to under-let the grading and masonry of the whole line from Noblesvilfe to Peru on the 13th of August. The time within which the work is to be completed will create an immediate demand for a great number of laborers. And the monthly cash payments that are proposed, will make the letting a very desirable one to contractors. These Yorkers sustain the reputation of undoubted ability and their go-a-head-a-tiveaes is aoC as be questioned, where their character Contractors will see by the advertisement of the let ting, that propositions addressed to W. J. Holman, Chief Engineer, will be received at Noblcsville up to the 13th of next month. Another Charge agaiast Jesse D. Bricht. The New Albany Bulletin says: ' Jxsse D. Bright. The Senator is absolutely in the field for Dunham. Why docs the honorable gentleman take such an interest for the candidate (or Congress?" We can answer the question satisfactorily we presame. It is because Mr. Dunham is a democrat, and a gentleman of talents. Mr. Bright resides in his District, presided at the Convention when he was nominated, and feels a deep interest in his success. C ol. W. P. Rush. At the instance of a number of Whigs of Hancock county, this gentlemen has consented to become a candidate for Congress in this district. We are assured by those who have lieen long acquainted with Col. Rush, that he is a gentleman of good charaster and a sterling Whig, and is worthy the support of the people to the position to which he aspires. Late as it ia to bring forward a candidate, it will be faaad that the Whigs of Marion county, at least, will not fail to do their duty. They will cheerfully give their support to Col. Rush, and, if other counties will do as well for him, Mr. Hendricks may yet be pushed harder than be imagines. Indiana Journal. It will be seen by the above, that the Journal has taken oor advice and hoittcd the name of Col. Rush, as a candidate for Congress. In connection with this, we hare one word of caution to our Democratic friends. No Whig axpeets to elect the Colonel, but he will do to trade on. Whig will propose to yon to vote for Hendricks, if you will in return vote for Wallace or for some Whig candidate for the Legislature. Sporn the offer vote your own ticket, and let the Whigs no the same. News. In a Fourth of July speech at Gosport befere the Sons of Temperance, we understand Senator Bright was stated to have died a victim of intemperaaea, and held up as a splendid trophy ef the conquests of Prince Alcohol! To Hoosierdom generally, and to Jaase D Bright especially, ws presume this piece of intelligence will be rather startling. Franklin Examiner. X7"The will of Elihu Crosswell. tha great slave tra. d'r at New Orleans, was probated on the 19th. He orders all the slaves be may die possessed of, being over one bnndred. to he sent to a free State, at the expense of his mother in Carolina, to whom he has bequeathed the of his estate.

E7""The fiscal year closed on the first of last month. The Custom House books show that our imports daring the last year have been two hvnprid and thibtt millions or DOLLAas ! O ir exports, (exclusive of silver.) bare only been one hundred and fifty millions of

dollars, leaving a balance against us of eighty milDions or collars ! There is no demand for our breadbe paid in specie. To do this our own country must be the sufferer. A great portion of this foreign debt is for railroad iron, which ought to have been manufactured at home. It would have been manufactured at home, and this specie kept within oor own country, had Whig policy prevailed in the formation of the Tariff. How long will the people suffer themselves to be humbugged by the idea of a free trade which results so disastrously to their interests and for the benefit of Europe Indiana Journal. The great amount of this excess of importation, which has created this debt is rail road iron, says our neighbor. If the Whig policy had prevailed the foreign iron would have been prohibited and the domestio used in its place. Now any quantitity of rail road iron can be manufactured in the United States. Why then do such good Whigs as Mr. Rose, of Terre Haute, Hon. A. 8. White and Hon. 0 H. Smith, Presidents of railroads, purchase the foreign iron? The answer is obviouv They obtain it on better terms and at cheaper r "es. Under the Tariff of 1842 the price of railroad iron was SO dollars a ton, now the same article can be procured for forty. Is it not better to owe the iron mongers of England eighty thou sand dollars, than to owe the Pennsylvania manufactories one hundred and sixty thousand dollars, for this would be the difference? Gen Cass We copy the following extract from the Baltimore Argus, the leading Democratic paper in MarylandMaryland undoubtedly prefers Gea. Cam as a candidate for the Presidency. M We mingle with the m&sies at least as much as our Jacksonian friend, and have yet to meet with the first Democrat who prefers James Buchanan to Lewis Cass, as our standard bearer in the next contest. We are ccrtain his facts are not to be found among the people. Where then will he get tbem? Mr. Buchanan, as far as mind is concerned, is one of the bright lights of the land. If he gets the nomination we shall battle for his election as best we can. Of Lewis Cass, we need sav but little; his name and , services are written in n. lelible characters upon the ' memories and hearts of the people and we know of none wnosc name wuuiu. line n v aim, ficnic crniiiusi , m bogom of th mMsegf ,ike 'le ame of Casg. , Considering the division in our ranks, and other circum- ; stances, at the time of the late Presidential contest, we unhesitatingly say that no Democratic candidate could have commanded a larger vole than that received by Lcwis Cass. Since the last Presidential battle, he has "aincd imperishable laurels to add to those which al ready encircled his brow. His coarse in the United States Senate, while sianding in the front rank, beating down the hydra-heads of fanaticism and disunion his changing the current of public opinion in his own State his Union speeches in different parts of the country his letters breathing pure and patriotic sentiments all, endear him to the heart of every true lover in the Union. Lewis Cass is our choice, and we know him to be the favorite of the Democracy of the State ; but, if any other of the many able Democratic statesmen, with whom oar happy land is blessed, should be the choice of the National Convention, our heart and mind will be enlisted to secure his election. GCWe clip the following from the Frankfort Kentucky Yeoman. The editor takes a very just view of the causes and consequences of divisions and quarrel: among Democrats. The conduct of the Indianapolis Statesman towards the editor of the Sentinel ssems to us to be wholly indefensible. But we gather from the sentiments of the former that it is a Free-soil organ, and if this be so, noth ing better could be expected from it than an attempt to throw a fire brand into the Democratic party. These throw a fire ,brand ,n.to the Democratic party are some of the troubles we notice among Democrats, and professed Democrats of Indiana. There are others, but of minor importance. If the Democracy of Indiana wish their nomination of one of their most distiuguished men for the Presidency to be respected, if they wish to maintain the high position they now occupy in tbo front ranks of the national Democracy, and if they desire to exercise that influence in the general councils of the Democracy which they have heretofore exercised, they will have to cease quarreling among themselves. Frankfort (Ky.) Yeoman. A Modest Request. The Lafayette Journal says ia relation to the Ninth District, Schuyler Colfax, the whig candidate, we hope will receive every whig vote and enough democratic votes to give him an advantage over his opponent. This is whig modesty. Every whig must vote for Colfax, and a sufficient number of democrats to secure bis election . Patriotic Skntiment. The following toast by Major John D. Van Buren, formerly a member of Congress from the Dutchess District, if wc mistake not, is very generally attributed to Prince John Van Buren, of Kindcrhook: " The Compromise Measures of the late Congress The Law of the Land a re-enactment of one of the fundamental principles upon which the Union of the States was formed a principle sanctioned by Washington, and upon a faithful adherance to the measure, de I'enus existence wi mis great rvepuulic. Liability of Railroads. The Supreme Court of Michigan has decided that railroad companies are not liable for stock killed or injured by the cars running over them. In a recent case decided. Chief Justice Pratt says: "The running of that train was a lawful act, and within their chartered rights ; it was upon their own railroad, of which they had, by the express terms of their act of incorporation, the en' ire and exclusive right of possession and control. No third person had any right to interfere, or to arrest the passage of the train, or, by any means impede its progress. The act, then, of running the cars being lawful, the defendants cannot be held liable for any accidental injury, which may have occurred, unless the lawful right of running the train was exercised without a proper degree of care and precaution, or in an unreasonable, or unlawful manner. This is a principle of law well settled, neither new or anomalous. It is as old as any other principle of the common law, and alike applicable to every other ki d of lawful business. It often happens that no precaution, care or skill can prevent a locomotive at the heard of a train of ears, running with the accustomed speed, from coming in collision with some domestic animal wrongfully on the road, and which the owner has negligently suffered to go at large unrestrained ; the engineer conducting the train, not being able in consequence of some curve in the road, the darkness of the night, or some other unavoidable cause, to discover the animal in time to stop the locomotive , and thus prevent the collision. Under such circumstances, the defendants could not be held liable by any known principle of law, and if they could be, it would be unreasonable and manifestly unjust. They arc required under heavy penalties to run the ears, and expeditiously to transport persons and property, lie. ; and shall tbey, by construction based upon nothing better than mere hypothesis, be compelled to assume the guardianship of all the stray cattle, horses, and swine, usually found strolling along on the track of their railroad ? Most certainly not. The owners are the only persons to look after them, and if they do not, it is but just that tbey alone should suffer the consequences of their own negligence and wrongful act, of their own wan, of care, in the protection and preservation of their own propeity. Abolition State Convention. The Cleveland " True Democrat," the Abolition organ of the State, has a formal call lor a State Convention, to meet at Columbus on Thursday 21st August next. This call is signed by Edward Wade, Lyman Pall, Simue! Lewis, James L Gage, and H B Spellman, who were constituted a committee for that purpose by the late abolition gatharing at Ravens, where Messrs. Chase, Giddings and Spaalding were orators of the occasion. Ctn. Enq. UTThs Richmond, Va. Times, a strong whig paper, says: "A suspicion is already sprang up throughout the Sooth that the Seward division of the whig party have taken charge of Gen. Scott as a candidate for the Presidency ; and Gov. Johnson's harangue, at Lancaster, Pa., will not tend to remove it." Death bt Cholera. The Southern Illinois Advocate, published at Sbawneetown, comes clothed in a suit of mourning for the death of Hon. Albert Gallatin Caldwell, member of Congress from the district in which the Advocate is published. He died of cholera at Springfield

MONDAY EVENING, JU1LY 21, 1851. Indiana Asbary University. The Commencement exercises of Asbury University

I came on during last week, during which a great num r Qf t ne frienja patrons of the institution were assembled. The prosperity of the college is a matter of congratulation to all connected with it, and indeed to the people of the whole State. Twelve years of existence has served to endow it with plentiful resources and surround it with friends who are untiring in their exertion for its welfare; and, perhaps, no similar institution of learning in the Union, in the twelfth year of its career, showed such evidences of u fulness and fulfilment of the great design of cultivating science and lierature, and at the same time exalting the moral perceptions of its students and alumni. The examination of the classes occurred on the week preceding the Commencement, and those who witnessed it say that the Xercises were worthy of all commendation. On Monday, the 24th, the Board of Trustees and Visiters met and remained in session much of the time till Wednesday morning. Numerous interests of the University were acted on, and every thing deliberately done. A Professor of Anatomy was to be chosen for the Medical Department, and I. N. Clippinger, M. D . of Terre Haute was duly elected. Steps were taken to erect a Chair of Biblical Literature, and the opening of the Law Department by Judge McDonald was postponed 1852. The degree of A.M. was conferred on the class that graduated three years since, and also on the Rev. B. F. latter part of February next. On Monday evening Mr. Jer. Tingley. of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, addressed the Alumni ir a very happy manner On Tuesday morning Professor R. Curran de- . livercd an address before the Beta Theta Pi Society, in his usual felicitous manner. On Tuesday afternoon the Female College had their exercises in the University Chapel, where the Young Ladies convinced those whi heard them that women have minds and can think, and even express their thoughts in competition with A. B.'sand A. M-'s, without suffering by the comparison. On Tuesday evening Mr. James C. Mcl-itosh of Conncrs. ville addressed the Philosonian Society in an able effort, and one of which he may well be proud. On Wednej Jay morning, at 8 o'clock, the graduating class, viz: Robt. M.

Mr. McGaughey. the whig candidate for Congress in the Seventh District recently made a speech at Terre Haute. A correspondent of the Terre Haute Journal thus describes the closing scene: " The speech of Mr. McGaughey ended and a respectable gentleman of the same party rose to reply, I suppose. Just then from another quarter of the room the words, u Mr. Speaker ! Mr. Speaker .'" addressed to Mr. McGaughey, in an effeminate but portentious tone, drew attention all one way; and the gentleman upon the floor overcome with gallantry, in courtesy, sat down. This gave the floor to Miss Fanny Lee Townsend, (who is, to say the least, somewhat notorious) and a more severe tongue-lashing, man never got from woman than Miss Fanny inflicted on Mr. Gawkey, as she called the Hon. gentleman. Her eyes flashed lightning upon him, and her tongue baptized him with gall and venom. She directed a question to Mr. McGaughey, when he turned his back upon her and left the room, looking very much like a man who had been badly candled. Miss Fanny was not there by arrangement of Mr McGaughey's political opponents, for she professes to be a whig i.erself, but on this occasion she contended that Mr. McGaughey had trampled on the Constitution and insulted philology ! She said in conclusion" whigs of this district, I implore you for God's sake, to send a patriot to Congress not send this candidate of little physical, and less mental development but send a man to Congress one th;it will not turn his back upon a lady !" Take it all in all, I never have seen a richer gathering." It is conceded that neither of the two great political parties can succeed at the next Presidential election without the votes of at least t wo of the great States, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. The people of two of these States, Ohio and Pennsylvania, have declared Gen. Scott to lie their first choice, and we have no doubt he is the choice, also, of New York. His nomination and election may now be regarded as certain. Published in all our whig exchanges. The author of the above prediction seems to forget that there is a difference between a nomination and an election. A few wire working politicians have nominated Gen. Scott, but the people have yet to vote. It is the votes, and not the caucuses, that make the President. "Please Exchange." Our Exchange list is very large. We exchange with every whig and democratic paper in the State, that treats us with common decency and politeness. We hive stricken from our list several papers whose editors have so far degraded their stations as to deal in gross peronalties. We shad continue to do so. Snch papers arc of no advantage to us, and we do not intend to have our mails encumbered with such worthless lumber. tCThe Charleston Mercury adopts as the secession flag of South Carolina, the lone star and the rattlesnake. Quite appropriate representing the loneliness of the State in her glory, and the venom and blindness of her present leading politician. Does not the Mercury know that the American Eagle is death on snakes? LT?' Will Judge Borden resign? This question is in the mouth of every whig in the Fort Wayne District. Judge Borden has resigned. We now ask the question will Brenton resign? We presume ho will not. With certain defeat looking him fair in the face, it would be a very foolish thing. BT'Tbe circumstances alluded to in the advertisement of L. B. McKinney, which appears in another column, we know nothing of. We are not responsible for what may be inserted in our advertising columns. Trot, Perry Co.. Ind., July 7, 1851. Hon. W. J. Brown Dear Str; On looking over your paper of the 3d inst., I see you have my name as the democratic candidate for Representative from this county. It is true, that, during mv absence South, my democratic brethren unanimously tendered me the nom ination, but owing to long absence and illness, I am constrained to decline the profit red hon r. Yours in the fa;th, JOHN P. DUNN. Free Negroes in New Mexico. Gov. Calhoun makes the following recommendation to the Legislature in relation to free persons of color in New Mexico: Free negroes are regarded as nuisances in every State and Territory in the Union; and where they are tolerated, society is most degraded. I trust the Legislature will ,'rereiit their enlranoe into this Territory. The disputing degradation to which society is subjected by their presence , is obvious to all, aud demands a prohibitory act of the severest character. O'Fever was spreading at Cork, Ireland, and great distress prevails throughout the west. Large importa tions are made of sbeep into Ireland from England and Scotland.

The Indiana Weekly Gazette, Is the title of a new Democratic Journal just Started at GreeflSburgh , Decatur couuiy, Indiana, by Hord St Hobbs, Oscar B Hord Editor. It is a large and neatly printed paper. The editorials evince much ability. May success attend the enterprise. The Democrats, wo trust, will give it a liberal support. We like the editor's first speech. The following is an extract:

We shall adhere closely to the tenets of the Demo erotic School of Politict, and labor to increase and strengthen an ardent attachment and veneration for those wise National and Patriotic Principles, as illustrated and expounded by Democratic Presidents and Statesmen. Ours is a great country; rich, to excess, in all the elements of prosperity; and the immensity of our fertile Territory the intelligence, industry, and enterprise of our population our growing Commerce sweeping every Sea, and pouring into our coffers the wealth of other lands and the liberality of our Institutions give promise of a future greatness r.nd glory never equalled by any nation. It is therefore necessary that, the Party that aspires to the guidance of the National Helm, should follow a lino of Policy enlarged and comprehensive, free from Sectionalism, that our hopes may not be m rred, and that our magnificent anticipations may be realised. We think the Principles upon which the Democratic party is based, peculiarly adapted to the accomplishment of the desired end, and for that reason give them our support. We will advocate a religious adherence to the Compromise measures, as the only basis or which the points of difference between Nurth and South can be equitably and finally settled. We can see nothing but risk and j danger in re-opening these exciting topics, and it must U" inevitably biinii with it angry and passionate speeches in Congress, and an inflamed state of feeling with the j masses which will greatly weaken the bonds by which our ncioveu union is neiu together, u it does not rend them asunder. Others may sav that there is nothing to tampered with without the greatest danger Indeed, we feel perfectly satiffied. and in this we do not stand alone, that any re-agitation of the questions settled in the Compromise measures, will bring upon the Union a Political Thunder-storm, such as we have never I . .. J .1 t I I L. I 1 . 1 wirnessea, inotign we nave seen aar nours, ana mc blasts of passion have leen as like a reed, from the terrible effects of which nc lung but a kind Providence can save us. Gen. Lane Elected. By the arrival of the Brother Jonathan from Chagres we learn that Gen. Lane has been elected Delegate from the Territory of Oregon. This will be gratifying intelligence to many of his old friends in Indiana. The Cincinnati Enquirer says: If Gen. Lane has the address, manner, and abilities which he is represented to possess, his election as Delegate may be but a stepping stone to the Presidency. j ICTWe think it proper to state, as we are authorized j to do, that there is no truth in the story circulating through the papers that Mr. Webster has resigned the ard with concern to that period of the year in which he is, and has been for several years, visited with a distressing catarrh, or the disease which is commonly called in England and in this country the hay fever. This is periodical, and comes on in August. Ho suffered much ! last year from the necessity of spending the hottest part of the summer in the Senate, and until he took charge of the Department of State, which he could not leave until some time after Congress had ajourned. He hopes by travel and by change of climate to mitigate, if not avert, the attack of his unwelcome visiter the present season. Some of his medical friends have advised a sea ! voyage, and others a visit to the medicinal springs in ! the Alleghenies of Western Virginia. Mr. Webster has j doubtless said that if he should finally conclude to adopt : the former course, it would probably lead to the necessity ! of his leaving the Department. This, we believe, states ; the whole case in regard to the honorable Secretary's intentions, and this it is, we presume, out of which has sprung the rumor of his resignation. Sat tonal Intel. Tea in South Carolina. The Charleston Courier notices the arrival in that city of Francis Bonyuge, a gentleman who has spent fourteen years in the East actively engaged in the cultivation and manufacture of indigo, sugar, saltpetre, tea, and coffee, and whose present object is to introduce into the Southern States the culture of the tea plant, the mangos tree, Hate tree, coffee plants, ho., and the melons and vegetables of the East Indies, and to oairy out the manufacture of the tea leaf, and also of the indigo plant, and to give a full and fair trial to both tea and inI digo. j Mr. Bonvne says that the soil and c'imate of the , Southern States arc more suited to the cultivation of tea than those even in China, and that indigo, which wai, by thc-nve, formerly produced in the Southern States, can be grown to any extent, and that the coffee plant, in all probability , would flourish there to great advantage, in- ! asmuch as tbo soil and undulating nature of the land j would be in its favor, and the cold of tie latitude of : Charleston is not so tense by 13 deg. as that of the east of China. In fact, Mr. Bonynge has seen this plant growing wild in n. latitude 27 dcg. 30 min., on hills of from three to five hundred feet in height, where, too, there was an abundance of frost, snow and hail. The Connelsville, (Pa.) Railroad. Wc would respectfully suggest to the friends and stockholders of the Connelsville Railroad, that negotiat mnc Kn rtnonml vx' irr QnltimArii itnmaiisrnlt aitrs Oho view of putting under contract the Railroad from Pittsburgh through Connelsville, connecting with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The harter is still alive, and a considerable sum of money has been subscribed. By the making of this Road, Baltimore will secure the trade of all the region of country around the head of the Ohio, otherwise lost to her, and also a large portion of the trade and travel of Ohio, Indiana, and other Western States. She will also have the satisfaction of heading Philadelphia, a thing that would he extremely annoying to the contract-breaking people of the Quaker City I Now is the time for Baltimore to take the wind out of the sails of her great rival I Pittsburgh Pott. Union Column at New Orleans. A project for the erection of a splendid column to the champions of tne unior , nas lieen ueviseu ny wm. rerrei oi new ur .1 . - . i t i ! - t i tr T . .fW r . leans. The plan represents a beautiful fluted Corinthian column, rising from a massive pedestal, and surmounted by a statue of Mr. Clay. Immediately beneath the apex, will be an illuminated clock, and below that, on the four faces of the column, are to be carved the names of the Senators who supported the Compromise measures of the last Congress. It is designed to place this monument on the " Neutral Ground," at the corner of St. Charles and Royal Streets, New Orleans. The cost is estimated at $20,000, and an effort will be made to raise the amount by subscription. IL7 Rappings oontinue at Crawfordsville. Among the firm believers in spiritual manifestations are some of the best citizens of that place Maj. Elston, Rev. G. M. Bovd, Dr. Snook, Dr. Brown, Mr. Bowen of the Review, and many others. In the vicinity of Newtown is an excellent medium. Through her the spirit of Gen. Jackson holds daily intercourse with Fountain county citizens, and entertains them, when requested, by rapping his favorite military march in fine style. The old hero says that Sam Houston will be the next democratic candidate for President, and John J. Crittenden the whig that Sam will be elected. Covington Friend. Complimentary. Mr. Greely, who has been visiting the Manufacturing districts in England, found the general rule at the manufactories tobe " o Americans admitted!" The citizens of no other nation are exclud ed. They so dread Yankee ingenuity, as to suppose if a live Yankee sees any of their improvements he makes it his own at once. There is much truth in this conjecture. EThe Hon. Miles C. Eggleston, for the last thirty years well and favorably known in the south-eastern portion of this State, died on Friday last, at Bedford Springs, Ky., and was buried in this city on Saturday evening. The Judge, we believe, died of dyspepsia, a disease with which he has been afflicted for many years. Madison Tribune, 2Ut.

The Democratic Presses in Pennsylvania. Sixty are openly out for the compromise, tnd as openly out against the free soilers and tha abolitionists.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1851. George W. Julian again. We are repeatedly n sited, why we make such strong

opposition to the election of Mr. Julian? It is said there is no Democratic candidate, and either Julian or Parker must be elected. Our opposition to Julian is political j not personal. We know Mr. Julian's course in the last j Congress. We know that for the credit of Indiana it would have been a thousand times better, if the District j had been unrepresented. The Republic and every Southern Whig paper, class the Democracy of Indiana with the Giddings. Chases, and Seward Free Soilers. When Democrats demand the evidence to sustain this charge, they point to the Fourth Congressional District, I where it is alleged that the Democratic party are supporting Julian for Congress, and that the Democratic Editors, (except W. J. Brown,) acquiesce. The Boston Post says, "the Democracy in all quarters are taking strong ground for the Compromise measures." In rcfutation of this the New York Express, whose Editor, Hon. James Brooks, a Whig member of the last Congress, replies: But refutations of such assertions as these not only exist here, hut comes to us from the States where the "Democracy" claims to be especially the Simon Pure. Thus, in Indiana, a Convention of Democrats, from I which all were excluded who did not vote for Cass at ; the last Presidential election, was recently held in the Fourth Congressional District, at which it was voted I to make no nomination, but to leave the field clear between Julian, a rabid Free Soil Democrat, who represented the District in the last Congress, and the Whig candidate. Of course, these national Democrats will at the polls support Julian, but will shelter themselves and votes. There are thousands who do not mean to endorse any such sentiments, that will vote for him in ; preference to Mr. Parker. We can tell such, frankly, I that their votes will he so regarded, and th Barnburning traitors who defeated Gen. Cass, will raise the loud , shout of triumph over the friends of that pure and ster ling patriot, who was defeated by such rcnegadoes as Van Buren St Co. The National Era and every abolition penny whistle organ from the Ohio to the Passamaquoddy will hoist the Rooster in crowing attitude with something like this: Glorious triumph in Indiana, Julian elected. The Compromise dead. Cass and Dickinson, Whitcomb and Bright, Douglass and Shields, and all "such miserable flunkies or God-forsaken slaveholders" and "Northern doughfaceism" dead in Indiana. Julian and free soil triumphant. Democrats, about that time you will feel as the boy did, who, contrary to the advice of his father, went a gunning. The gun at the first discharge exploded and mutilated his hand. The boy returned holding up to his distressed parent the bleeding limb. In deep agony he said, "O father, how sorry I am that I ever shot." When these treasonable shouts of triumph come, your opponents will say to you as Nathan did to the conscience-stricken David, " Thou art the man." We want to see no man elected to Congress whose sole object it is to agitate for the repeal of the fugitive slave law, and on slavery generally, lor we believe, and so do such statesmen as Cass and Dickenson and Douglass and Buchanan, that it is agitation for the dis solution of the Union and the destruction of the best Government God ever vouchsafed to roan. On the 14th of May, 1850, when clouds and darkness obscured our national horizon ; when good men everywhere trembled with fear; when the patriots of the land who had immolated party ties on the burning altar of national existence and national prosperity, had gathered in solemn council to save the ship of State that was rolling in the billows of agitation ; when every member from Indiana, with one exception, and he the representative from the Wayne District, were favoring compromise and conciliation, George W. Julian, on the floor of Congress, under the solemnity of an oath, in the discharge of a high office, in that sacred hall where were congregated the people's representatives in national council, with the reminiscences of the revolution all around him, with the stars and stripes of his country floating over his head, uttered these treasonable words : " I am willing to submit to wrongs already inflicted, but if further submission be exacted as the price of the Union. I would say to our Southern friends, take the putrescent corpse of slavery into your embrace, and let your contemplated Southern Confederacy, encircle it amidst the hisses of the civilized world. During the last summer, I told the people I now have the honor to represent, that I would rather see the breaking up of the Union, than the extension of slavery into our territories, either by the action or permission of the government. I reiterate that declaration here." When we heard these words fall from his lips, we then declared our opposition to him. There lives not cn the face of this earth any friend, either personal or politic, 'ho could ever obtain our vote after 8Uch " dec,ar' ntion. Rather than a few slaves might be taken to Utah, he would see this glorious Union severed. That flag which proclaims to the world that it is the emblem of the " land of the free and the home of the brave," torn in tatters; the nation plunged into civil w ir; the chrystal waters of the Ohio run red with the blood of fallen brothers, and the beautiful cities and towns along its shores black and smoking ruins. Rhett and his confederates in treason would dissolve the Union because the people of California have prohi- , bited the introduction of slavery. If they admitted it, i then Julian bv his own declaration, would have been for " breaking it up-" Now where is the difference demo crats of the Fourth District? Would yon support Rhett? You would answer no. Will you vote for Julian? This is the question ; answer it on the first Monday in August. Prosecuting Attorney. Hiram Brown, Esq., has withdrawn from the contest, raiel leaves the field to Ex-Governor Wallace, Whig, and David S. Gooding, Democrat. Against Gov. Wallace we have nothing to urge. He is certainly qualified for the office. The Governor has been in political life for more than twenty years, and if he were a Democrat would be denounced as an " Old Hunker." He was first a Representative in the Legislature, then Lieut Governor, then Governor, then Member of Congress, and now a candidate for Prosecuting Attorney, an oflkc wasea is generally bestowed on some young man. Mr. Gooding, the Democratic candidate, is a young man of character and capacity, and we have no hesitation in saying, that with his industry, energy, and talents, he will make a much more efficient officer than Gov. Wallace. We have known Dave Gooding since his infancy, and can safely vouch for him. His grandfather, Major David Gooding, formetly of Fleming county, Ky., was an offi- j cer under Col. R. M. Johnson, at the terrible conflict of i the Thames. His darin? bravery was such as to call forth the highest enlogium of the commanding officer. I He is a young man oi mtru, anu a u w i on p-. contest, let us sustain our own candidate. In capacity he is equal to his opponent, in energy, his superior. Mississippi Platform. The Natchez Free Trader, a Southern rights democratic journal, states tbe position ef the candidates representing the parties as follows. Of course he makes the case as favorable as it can be made for Gen. Quit man, and as strong against Mr. Foote as truth would justify: Gen. Quitman is for Southern rights; the sovereignty of the State a repeal of the Compromise because it was unjust and robbed us, and because it threw obloquy on nur institutions, and because it was a concession to abolition. Gen. Foote is against Southern rights! He denies State sovereignty or the right to secede, and therefore supports Northern thraldom. He is in favor of the Compromise and justifies the injury to tbe South committed by Congress in adopting the adjustment.

ET Eli P. Farmer is now the only candidate for Con' gress Hi opposition to CoT. Gorman. He will, we pre sumc, receive the entire rapport of the whig psrty. Some time since the editor of a little six-by-nine Whig

journal, at Greensburgh, denounced Mr. Farmer as a j rascal ami scoundrel. In reply to this we merely stated that such charges were untrue and unfounded. Although a decided whig, and one to whom we were under no obligations, we felt it our duty to state the facts. To say that Mr. Farmer is a scoundrel and a villain, is a reflection on the highly respectable church of which he is a member and a minister, and a reproach to the Masonic fraternity of Indiana of which he has recently been the grand chaplain. This disinterested defence of a political opponent has brought down on our devoted head this sapient editor, who rejoices in the name of Battcrton, in the following beautiful style: " We took occasion a few weeks since to speak of E. P. Farmer, self-constituted whiff candidate for Congress in the 6th district, in rather strong language. We did so because we had reasons for relieving him to he unworthy the support of the party a belief which we have had no reason to chance. Bill Brown, however, special guardian and protector of all the rascals in the land, comes to his relief. We are not astonished at this. There is an affinity in their characters. It is natural for Bill Brown to apologize for such men as Farmer because he can see his counterpart in himself." Of this man we have only one request to make and j that is, that he will never, under any circumstances, 9rwk well nf mm Tl. rI. r , J 5j Pl dcsire- Ve w,n d,m'ss hm with the following descrip. j t,(m from brother Clarkson, of the Brookville American: there are a species of vermin who are SET tors, who are the meanest specimens of the race that are made. And who are thev? It is e them some general mark that the public mav know them. They are generally composed of the vagabond portion of journeymen printers those who have cheated washer-women, runaway from boarding houses kept by poor widows, with large bills unpaid who have left empty trunks with landlords for unpaid boarding who have slept under grocery counters ami in farmer's barns, in their strapped and drunken peregrinations." South Carolina. The followiug are a few of the toasts drank at the recent celebration of the 4th of July at Charleston, S. C. They speak for themselves: Judge Dargan, a distirguished jurist of that State, unable to attend, sends the following sentiment: The Federal Union: It must be dissolved, with Southern co-operation if it can be obtained before the final adjournment of our State convention; otherwise by sc per ate State action.

What is the use of our southern friends urging the claims of either Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Webster to the Presidency, when they know it is the settled policy of the North to bring forward a candidate for the Presidency, who has in no way lieen connected with the compromise measures? Seward and Clayton and Ewing and Johnson have determined that Gen. Scott is to be the candidate. He will be nominated without any declare, tion for the public eye on these questions, and Fillmore and Webster, notwithstandir-g the grumbling of tbo South will contribute their influence to bring about this result. The "American Patriot," the new Scott paper just commenced at New York, thus speaks of these distinguished statesmen, and no doubt speaks by authority. Fortunately for President Fillmore, his ambition is fully satisfied with the high position he has held and is still holding in the eyes of the nation. Circumstances contrary to his expectations and his wishes have brought htm into the highest chair of state, but he has filled the same with grace and dignity, and is ready to retire to the shades of private life, satisfied that his countrymen could confer on him no higher honor by prolonging the period of his administration of the affairs of the land. The great and Godlike Webster, whatever may be his political aspirations, his lofty soul would scorn to accept the suffrages of the people in his behalf, when the salvation of bis country is at stake, and when the very name of a fresh candidate for the Presidency from amid tbe people, would give a prestige of success and disarm faction of its treachery and power for mischief. The name of Webster has, till rectntly, been somewhat sectional it has never been recognized as belonging to tbe tchalt country. For the Indiana State Sentinel Splitting Tickets. The author of this little article is one of the rank and file of the democratic party one who neither holds or seeks office one whose highest ambition is not elevated a single degree above what actuated the spotless Howard, when he penned those pure, disinterested lines, " I would rather bedoirn with my party than up without it." To such a devotee of free principles, nothing can be more moruiying man me practice mai prevails, i neu iuinous extent of swapping votes, or splitting tickets, as it is usually called. If it was attended with success to the democratic party, asoften as it is withdcfeat.it would not, even then, he justifiable; for artifice is not only more profitable to tbe whig party, but ought to be: it is the great reliance of that party for attaining power. Oar party, on the contrary, is always seeking to be clearly and plainly understood, that no voter who casts his suffrage for a democratic candidate can, with justice, subsequently plead deception. I had hoped that it was no' longer a'mooted point, that democracy is much fan her advanced by the election of a Democrat to a public station, than it would have been by tbe choice of a WAir. A case somewhat in point, suggests itself to my minds eye: when was democracy promoted, in her great endr and aims, by tbe election of the Hon. David WalTace to the numerous and highly important public stations he has held. I merely ask for information. I have never yet seen a man elected to an office, from Fence Viewer np to' President whose influence in community the next honr. greater than it was the hour before: now thf qnesion i6; for which political party shall that inflence be exercised for your own. or for the enemies I It is a very simple proposition, one that every democrat, however unlearned, so he be honest, cannot help anlizing correctly, so I leave it with him to settle with himself, at his leisure. RIGHTS OF MAN. No MARRYING ALLOWED IN loWA FOR TTTtRTY DAYS? We -re informed that under the new code which went into effect on the 1st inst. marriage licenses can bo issued only by tbe county judge and that during the time which will elapse from the taking effect of the taw and the election of a judge a month effyet no provision whatever has been made authorizing the clerk of the district court, as heretofore, to make oUl the necessary " documents." This is a joke " as isa'joke," and one which will probably be felt as a pretty serious one in some quarters. If. however, parties cannot wait, and prefer i have the law on their side, they have tbe opportunity of crossing over into the States of Missouri, nfmots or Wisconsin, against which privilege, we believe: the new code, in the haste of preparation. aeglecU edto provide.
