Democrat, elected SENATOR by 688 MAJORITY!! The following is the resnlt of the election for enator held on Monday last The turn out at the polls was much larger in the country townships than the state of the weather led us to believe it would be, though we were well aware tnat a spirit was around among th people, which would result in a complete Waterloo de. feat to Whiggery Tha official T)te will not change the result materially Township; Centre, Perry, Warren, Franklin, Pike, Wayne, Decatur, Washington, Lawrence, Tsdd 945 123 157 176 86 48 maj Coburn . 861 72 41 33 4 49 maj 78 24 141 224 Total, Todd's majority 638 1,212 Notwithstanding the attempted dictation of a certain band of self-constituted leaders, partly composed of professing Democrats and of designing Whigs, the people have honestly given their votes in the late election between Todd and Coburn for Senator. Several independent Whigs manfully refused to be lod by the nose by men who were willing to sacrifice everything sacred on the alter of fanaticism and extreme measures. An equally large number of Democrats were also inveigled into the toils of these senseless managers and led away by false issues. Had the country vote been fully polled Todd's majority would have been increased more than two hundred more vjtes, or, to say the least, his majority would have been nearly one thousand! A lew more such victories would essentially demolish Wkiggery in Marion county. ST" On Monday, C. G. Werbe was elected Justice of the Peace; O. H. P. Bly, James F. Hanna, Henry Vandegrift, and James H. Stapp, Constables; A. A. Louden and Andrew Brouse, Inspectors; and Calvin Fletcher and W. C. Thompson, Fence Viewers. C"L. A. Hardesty and M. H.

Majority against License 14. Who spilU the foremast foeman'e life, Tbat ptrty conquers in tbe strife." The words of the poet are true- The first champion of Whiggery in Indiana, in the contest of 1852, is de feated the successor of Nicholas McCarty is a Demo erat, lbat bravo old soldier, larmer, and consistent politician, Capt. Levi L. Todd, has defeated John Coburn, tbe most popular young man of the Whig party in Indiana, by b majority of nearly 700 votes. This is done in the county of Marion, where both the candidates for Governor reside, and where it was pre "vloted the majority would be from three to five hundred for the Whig candidate ; every arrangement havirg been made, previous to the resignation of Mr. McCarty, as was supposed, to bring about that result and which was to have been a rource of Whig rejoicing for McCar ty, all over the State, and held up to the people as the sure index of his triumph over Gov. Wright at the fall elections. But like the hopes of Whiggery, in many other instances, their expeditions are withered the " foremost foernan'' of Democracy lies prostrate before tbe brave volunteer, who in a more perilous battle than this, quailed not before the murderou fire of England's myrmidons This is the first battle of 1852, and we say thanks to tbe generous spirits of the Emerald Isle and the noble sous of Germany. You battled manfully in the sacred cause of Democracy on Monday last you laid low and silenced forever the foul slander of the Whigs, tbat you had deserted the old ship of Democracy you came to tbe aid and rescue as one man, without faltering, aid nobly did you answer these charges. 1 Tbe election of last Monday is tbe sura harbinger of the success of our ticket in tbe approaching Fall elecIt gives to our friends, throughout the State, the that we have no divisions and dissensions . That we are cemented as a band of broth ers, upon principles Tbat whenever the occasion re quires our active exertions, we answer at the ballot box. United we ean ever defeat al! the plans and schemes of our adversaries

By A Coroner's Inquest was held on Friday evening

on the body of Benjamin F. Probt, a youth ol about 18 years of age. The facts proven before the jury were m a mi i 1 . l I . L. in substance as loiiows: 1 ne uecoaseu, togemer wnu young man named Daniel Keely, had been at work I durir? the day cutting corn-stalks on the farm of ISieholas MoCar;y, and was returning home. Probus had crossed the canal and was some distance ahead of Keely, when the latter called upon the former to stop. Probus replied that he "had not time." Keely then crossed the canal, and ran towards Probus, and upon getting near him threw a club which struck him on the back of the neck. He fell dead upon the spot. Keely fled soon after the occurrence, and has not been heard of since. A reward of $100 has been offered by the Governor for bis apprehension, and he will, doubtless, be arrested. We are informed by one of the jury of inquest, that there was no evidence that either of the parties was in toxicated, as was rumored on Saturday. t7"TaW Maysville (Ky.) Eagle thinks the democrats are filled with "fear and trembling, in expectation that the Whigs will nominate Fillmore for the Presidency ; while the Louisville Courier is decidedly ef the opinion that "if any one fact is more evident than another, it is that the Locos are frighteded out of their wits, at the idea of Gen. Scott lains the Whiir candidate for the Presidency." We hope this important matter will be satisfactorily settled before the meeting of the whig national conven tion it might have an important influence in deciding who shall le the nominee ofthat convention. CT" The reckless incendiaries who have been fireing old buildings for weeks past, set tire oa Friday evening to the frame near the State House, once used at a The atre, and afterwards BBS Lard Oil Factory, but lately unoccupied. It was entirely consumed. Oh! for a nigh watch! JjT The Gunsmith shop of S. Beck, was broken into by some villian on Friday night, and a pair of Revolver and a pair of rifle-barreled Pistols stolen therefrom. For tbe Daily Indiana State Sentinel. Ma. Editor: 1 observe tbat tbe principal stork in trade of the Whigs in this campaign, aside from their temperance and abolition amalgamation, consists in th fact that Mr. McCarty come within 300 votes of Judg Wick in the Congressional race of 1847. This is take as great evidence of his popularity. Now, this is a small matter, but as it is made much of, I have turned to tbe returns of that and the previous Presidentisl election, and find that not only did the Democrats not vote for McCarty, but that he failed to obtain the full vote ol his own party. The followins are the figures: Countie. 1844. 1847. Clay. McCabty. Bartholomew 1035 899 Brown 99 73 Hamilton 859 831 Hancock 719 687 Johnson 659 6S2 Madison 813 816 Marion 1715 1695 Shelby 1107 1027 Tipton. (not formed) 89 6966 6799 In his own county, though the population had been rapidly increasing for three years, it will be seen that Mr. McCarty reeeived 20 votes less than Mr Clay. A. B. Crowing A I read y. " Thon novar U.H time "V lhr Whirr aii'itnra " i " when the whigs were more reliant, more united, more confident of success, than now." Just so! But unfortunately for them they are always in tbe sama fix, according to this authority always united, (in grasping for the ''spoils,' ) always reliant, (on false hopes,) always confident of success, (until after the election.) The same song has been sung, at the opening of every campaign, since the time " when the memory of man runneth not to tbe contrary." Sometimes they make it win, and sometimes they don't : but a good deal more don't" than " do." " Brag " is a game these editors understand to perfection. If boasting could do up the business, eleotions might be dispensed with entirely; but it can't, and so we have to go on voting, as if nothing had happened. Grant you that the whig editors have opened the campaign with extraordinary zeal, bitterness and spirit, s much the worse for them. It is a goodly time yet, before the election, and ere that day arrives they will have exhausted their ammunition, run through the catalogue of abusive epithets, and rind their falsehoods ex posed and flung back in their teeth. It is the misfortune of whig principles that they flourish best in the shade, consequently the less noise they make the better for thorn and their cause. When they are noisy, openmouthed and brawling, we fear them much less than when they fight the "still fight" say little but work hard keop their candidates in the shade, but undermine secretly. Give us an open enemy and fair field, and the result will be invariably the same democratic triumph, But it will not do to trust too implicitly to our known strength. " General Apathy " is a bad leader for democrats worse than any " mere military chieftain" and has lost us more battles than any other thing under heavens. A few votes lost in each county, would give the State to the whigs. " If the Democrats succeed at this election," say the whigs, " Indiana is hopelessly democratic for years to oome." If these are cheering words to whigs, tbey are much more so to democrats bear them in mind. A vote is a little thing, but you may leel the ettect ol it a Ijng time years. Hunting ton Observer. Parson Brownlow at it Again! The editor of the Jonesboro, Tenn., Whig, the noted Parson Brownlow, who, in 1844, gave such high delight to his Whig brethren all over the country by the hard things he said against Mr. Polk, is now utterly impracticable when they ask him to support Gen. Scott. For fear our friends of the Mas will not let the parson speak in his columns, we think it no more than reasona ble to let him be heard in ours "If George Washington were on earth, and in his ! prime, and was brought lor ward and sustained by tbe men who are backing Scott, we could not and would not support him. It requires tbe assurance of the devil, on tbe part of Seward and his clique, to expect that the South will follow their guidance. They have cot loose from the bonds of party in obedience to the inerest of section; we, of the South, will break from the same bonds, now that party has come in collision with country. The South cannot go for seotion, nor party, but for the Union, for the Constitution, for the rights of the State." "We cannot, we will not support Gen. Scott, no matter who may be on the ticket with him. We are for a man who is a Statesman of an enlarged mind, who has made the 'aws and government of the country the study of his life." We really believe that what the Pabsom says is "as . T . . true as preaching." C'tn. tSnq. Marking Cards Post Office Decision. Some Postmasters having decided that papers containing a marked card passing through tbe post office were subject to letter postage, we addressed a letter to the Postmaster General on the subject, and be has decided that it is lawful to draw a mark oveb an advertisement for the aurnose of directing attention then . hereto. In accordance with this decision, we shall Here alter draw a mark over instead of around the advertisements of merchants who may send away extra copies o: the Price Currrent. Cin. Price Current. President i Washington correspondents speak confidently of the nomination of Gen. Scott. One of them writes to the New York Tribune, March 4th "Three years ago to-day, Gen. Taylor was inaugurated. One year from to-day Gen. Scott will be it nothing breaks." Galena Gazette. Tbe "breaks" in the whig party are quite sufficient to prevent any such result. Tbe proviso was very aptly thrown in.

TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 6, 1852.

Mr. Fillmore and the Sewarditas. The New York Tribune denies that Mr. Fillmore is i obnoxious to the Whigs, in consequence of the Compro mise Measures, one of which it still persists in calling a wanton, useless, galling outrage on the Free spirit, and humane instincts of the North,-' though it is now admitted in the Tribune's peculiar style of empuasis, that " the Constitution arms the slsve-hunter with cer tain powers;" and puts the opposition to Mr. Fillmore pon the following ground " Because he has seen dt to proscribe and ostracise -aanv of tbe most etheient and beloved v nigs in me State on account of an alleged sympathy with the anti-; Compromise majority f the party on account oi tneir Acquiescence in the declarations of principle and zealous support of the candidates of the Whig party. For no! better cause than this, Mr. rillmore has seen ni to re- i move a nnmber ol those Whigs whom Gen. Taylor had appointed to responsible stations in our Mate, aituougn by far the larger number of desirable appointments were and had been given by len. laylor to lower law men." To this the New York Express rejoins: " Now, we affirm there is not one word of truth in what the Tribune here states to be fact. All that is true is, that Mr. Fillmore removed some half dozen obnoxious persons, calling themselves Whigs, but who were active working enemies of a Whig Administration. The " many" of the Tribune would dwindle down into a baker's dozen at the outside, and even of such Whigs, and the leading men among these persons who wero picked out for office and thrust into office by the active agency ol Mr. Seward and his devotees at Washington, because they were hostile to Mr. Fillmore. This was especially true of the Buffalo appointments, and nobody i . I. : l . . . u m 1 T., i. ...... 9S knows this belter than the Tiibuue There can be no doubt whatever that the opposition of Northern Whigs to Mr. Fillmore arises from his course on the Compromise measures, and from nothing else, though they dare not avow it. Even if the Tribune's statement of the grounds of opposition to him were true in New York, it would not account for the opposition evinced towards him by the Whigs in other Northern States. The true grounds of all the opposition Mr. Fillmore has met with fiom Northern Whigs may be found in ihe'u fanatical abolition tendencies to which he has refused to pander, and for which they are determined to defeat his nomination for the Presidency A correspondent of the New York Express, writing upon this subject, asks the question why Mr Fillmore, who was once so popular among the New York Whigs, has become so suddenly so very available in that State' and answers as follows: "The ostensible why, we all know, is that Mr. Fillmore did not veto certain acts of Congress, constitutional acts, which under previously well established platforms of the Whig party, be was bound to -ign, not to veto among them, the Ten Million Texas Boundary bill, and the act for the surrender of Fugitive Slaves. That is the matter and such a matter, if made a sectional issue of North against Mr Fillmore in New York, makes it impossible for Southern Whigs, who don't hold to vetoes of constitutional acts ol" Congress, to go into Convention with Whigs who do. Their creed is different, and their principles are as far apart as the poles. He then proceeds as follows : " The Southern Whig States, rely upon it, will never consent to aid in damaging or disgracing Mr. Fillmore. They may go for any Whig candidate that they can carry their people for; but Mr. Fillmore has stood by a great Whig principle, of ' no veto of a constitutional act of Congress,' but for very extraordinary cause, an.l they will stand by him just as long as an effort is made to punish him, or to damage him. for being such a Whig. " I regret to see, but I leel it a duty to say, that there are no certain indications as yet, that tbe principles of, or the time and place for, a Whig National Conven.ion can be agreed upon at all and the embarrassment in the way of one, are such as I sketch above. The Whigs of the North will undoubtedly hold their National Convention somewhere; but the Whigs of the South, under existing circumstances, stand in a position of armed neutrality. Whether a Northern Whig sectional Convention held at Buffalo, or elsewhere, will avail a candidate anything, I doubt, but it would fearfully re-open all the slavery excitement, I am sure. The South say in reply to remonstrances from the North, ' if such a Northern Whiir of known anti-slavery, but yet constitutional opin1 ions as Mr. Fillmore, is to be disgraced and sacrificed, i only because he has been a no-veto Whig, and, therej fore, faithful to his party as well as to his country, why, then, we must part.' Mr. Fillmore, they show us, has j been, and was popular in New York up to the lime he came to Washington, and they demonstrate that every I public principle he has maintained here ought to add to I his Whig popularity everywhere." This, to say the least, does not afford quite so bright a prospect for the success of the Whig candidate for the Presidency as some of the Whig papers have been trying to blind their readers with. From present appearances, the Whig National Convention, if one shall ever ba drummed up, will bo as harmonious as a barrel full of tom-cats. XT' As we go to press at an early hour, it is impossible to tell the result of the election for Senator in this county yesterday. A large vote was polled in this township, but as the day was unfavorable for turning out, we do not anticipate a heavy vote in the country, and fear that Mr. Todd may have lost votes on that account. Some of the polls in the country townships are cut off by streams which were probably impassable yesterday morning, and this would bo unfavorable to the success of Mr. Todd. Wo were very much amused at the story a few active i politicians wero telling at the polls, with the view to operate upon democrats, that Mr. Coburn said he had the names of one hundred whigs who would not vote for him because of his devotion to the temperance cause. We doubt that Mr. Coburn lost a dozen whig votes on ! that question, and we are sure that he received the votes of a large number of democrats. If Mr. Todd i elected, it shows the strength, nerve, and energy of the Democracy of Marion county, in resisting collateral and outside issues gotten up merely for the purpose of drawing off, from the attention of the people, the great principles which divide the democratic and whig parties. If the country townships have polled their full vote, Mr. Todd is probably elected if they have not, the result is doubtful. We shall probabl. be able to give full returns from the whole county to-morrow morning. At all evonts, we shall know who is elected. HjTA " Leap Year Ball" under tho exclusive management of the Ladies, carae off at Terre Haute on the evening of Wednesday, March 31st.

ST A young man named John Rosa is traveling about the country begging money, as he says, to enable him to hnng to this country his mother, brothers, and sisters i who were ship-wrecked near the Island of Teneriffe, sometime in the lall ol isau, and are now upon that Island. He is now in Lafayette and the Journal says " he is a Swiss by birth, and a fine specimen of that robust and healthy race." His object, as he states it, is a laudable one, but it seems to us that a robust and healthy man should, more appropriately, be uorking for its accomplishment, than begging for it. ET We are glad to learn that the Hon. John W. Spencer, of Ohio county, is rapidly recovering from his late illness, and will probably be able to take his jeat in the Legislature on the 20th inst.

Terrible Explosion and Frightful Losi of Life.

On Saturday evening last, the 3d inst . our citizens were appalled by the receipt of intelligence of one of the most terrible explosions that has occurred upon the Ohio river fc - raanv years. The steamer Redstone. the most terrible explosions that has occurred which had gone into the trade between here and Cincinnati and made two or three trips, at about noon on Saturday left on her upward trip, having on board, as near ly as we can learn, about twelve passengers, exclusive the crew of ths boat, which was probably composed i of some thirty persons. At Carrol ton she took on board, as we learn, eight passengers, making in all about fifty individuals. After leaving Carrolton and reaching a point in the vicinity of Craig's bar, some four or five miles above the mouth of the Kentucky river, she landed upon the Kentucky side to take on board a Mr. Scott who had been sojourning there some time upon a visit to his parents who lived upon the bank of the Ohio. Mr. S. got on board, and, while standing upon the forward part of tbe boat exchanging with his parents and relatives a paring farewell, the vessel in the mean time backing into the stream, one of the boilers burst with most terrible force, almost totally wrecking the boat and either killing or wounding all on board except eight persons three women, two girls, and three men who were rescued from the wreck, which took fire immediately after the explosion and burned until she sank. 'Mr. Scott, of nrhora we have spoken above, was instantly killed at the very moment of bidding adieu to his friends. Since the above was written we have learned many particulars from a friend who went up to the scene of I the disaster on Saturday night and returned yesterday evening. It is not known exactly how many persons were upon the boat at tin time of the fatal acoident, but it is supposed, by those who had the best opportunity of knowing, I that tbe number must, have been between sixty and sevI enty, most of whom, without doubt, are lost. Capt. Pate, who was badly wounded, was taken up to his home, near Rising Sun, on the Hoosier State, together with several others, some of whom were wounded. Of the four engineers, three were killed and one wounded the names of the first and second were Messrs. Beny, both killed; the third engineer, Mr. Eddy, was wounded, and the striker, whose name is unknown, was killed ; the other engineer was not on board. The pilots. Messrs. Jackson and Langley, were badly wounded. The mate, two deck-hands, and a deck-passenger, names not known, were wounded. Two bodies burned to a crisp and supposed to be cabin-boys were found upon the deck. Among tbe passengers known to be killed were James E. Goble, one of the editors and publishers of the Lawrenceburgh Register, whose body as yet has not been found; E. G. Crisman, a printer employed in tbe Register cilice, was blown some thirty or forty yards, lived nearly two hours, and died in great agony; E. 8. Durbin, of Lawrenceburgh, who, just before he expired, asked about the safety of his sister and cousin who were on board but saved; Rev. P. Scott, mentioned above, who was upon his way to Warsaw, where he was to preach yesterday, was found some twelve hundred yards Irom the wreck, in a cornfield, badly mutilated. Of the killed, eight were interred yesterday at Car roll ton. A portion ol the larboard boiler was thrown across the river and landed in a cornfield on the Indiana side, some considerable distance from the water, and another piece prostrated a tree some ten inches in diameter. fragments ol the cabin are strewn upon the river bank and even lodged in the branches of the loftiest trees. The above are all tbe particulars which we were able to obtain up to tne time our paper was put to press. Madison Banner of yesterday. Adding a Calamity to a Curse. By the following it will be seen that a double niisfoitune has befallen the "Zoll Vereiners," if we are to judge of consequences by whig argumonts. We clip from the National Intilligencer-. "OFFICIAL. "Department or State, "Washington. March 23, 1852 "Information has been received from Charles Graebe, Esq., U. S. Consul for Hesse Cassel, Hesse Darmstadt, and Hanover, that in consequence of the genera deficiency of the last crop of grain, and the high price occasioned thereby, the States composing the Zoll Verein of Germany have passed a decree, that from the first of the present month to the first of September r.ext, grains, legumes and flour can be imported into the Zoll Verein free ol duty. "The import duty on g'ain previous to the said decree, was ab ut seven cents a bushel, and that on flour amounted to a prohibition, being two dollars and fifty cents per barrel." The first misfortune is the domestic scarcity of breadstutfs. The next is the added calamity of free trade ; for the whigs have preached to the American people, that the higher the tariff the cheaper tbe articles imported to the consumer, and the lower the tariff the more expensive to the consumer. Now, is it not the very madness of cruelty in a government whose people are suffering from scarcity of the staff of life, to double tbe cost of foreign imports, and thus render starvation certain to follow the irapossibilty of purchasing what bad crops have deprived them of at home? The Intelligivctr thus comments on the above quoted announcement . "The official announcement in another column, of the temporary removal of all import duty on Grains and Flour in the German Zoll-Verein States, is of much interest to our grain-growers and flour dealers." It shows a bad spirit in the Intelligencer, to thus taunt "our grain giowers and flour dealers," with the curtailment of their prosperity, certain to follow the depreciation of the FIjit trade in Germany! Such must be the result with them, or else the Whigs will be compelled to swallow the r whole argument in favor of a high tariff. The th ng is perfectly logical: High duties make cheap commodities first proposition ; low duties make dear commodities second proposition ; starving people, (like the Zoll-Vcrieners.) are always more unable to buy what they want, and are rendered doubly so, by an increse ol cost third proposition ; inability in the consumer to put chase, curtails sales by the producer fourth proposition ; argal, "onr grain growers and flour dealers" are then injured by the withdrawal "of ill import duty on Grains and i lour in the German Zoll Verein Slate 3 nun proposition ! Clear as a total eclipse! And yet the Intelligencer alludes to this unwelcome contingency in our agricultural affairs, as indifferently as the grave editors wouid brush an August fly from their co-partnership nose! We offer this matter' to the ( Republic, as the text of another homily upon the benefits , of a high tariff to American Agriculture. When the Republic gets through, tne Tribune may take up the thread, and blather awhile on the magical influence of "Protection," in favor of "Labor," andof its wholesme tendency to cripple the gigantic legs of "Capital." 0, Whiggery! 0, Humbuggery! Ohio Statesman. Gen. Cass. We take the following from the Washington editorial correspondence of the Madisonian: r Gen. Cass's reply to the speech of Senator J or.es yesterday, is a fine erTort. Mr. Jones had lugged him into his speech and had undertaken to disprove some of his positions. The task was too Herculean for even the great orator of Tenneseo. Though he labored for three hours at the task. Gen. Cass, in naif an hour, successfully answered all the points aimed at him, and completely riddled the Senator's arguments. The scene reminded one of a giant holding a child in his grasp; the little fellow kicked and made a great display, but the grasp remained nrm and unyielding. L.ewis Cass is indeed the intellectual giant of the Senate and the Union. The Democrat who can look upon him, and feel no glow of pride that the Democratic party possesses such a champion, is not only unworthy the name of a Democrat, but shows himself bereft of the feelings of human nature How miserable a thing must be he then who, calling himself a Democrat, would refuse to rally under the lead and follow the banner of such a standard bearer? The sneering appellation of "old fogy," which wild and thoughtless "Young America" would apply to him, cannot bide bis virtues and his worth from the American people. He has proved himself as vigorous in intellect and as much attached to human rights and freedom, with a heart as warm, convictions as strong, and a will as indomitable, as "the most energetic, care-for-noth-ing, stop-at-nothing, dare-evcrything youg fogy of our day, who, at the advanced age of twenty-one, ripe in experience as in years, surveys complacently the whole field of life, and feels himself prepared to grapple with all its duties, and to come off triumphantly." Growth of the United States. Hon. Lewis Cass, in his late address before the Michigan State Agricultural Society, presented the fol lowing striking illustration of tbe rapid growth of this country from its first settlement: " I have said upon another occasion, but the circumstance is so striking and characteristic that I must reEeat it here, that I nave often conversed with a venerate relative who was a cotetnporary of Peregrine White, ' the first child born to the pilgrims after arrivals on this i 1 continent. What an almost appalling idea does this simple fact present of tbe progress and prospects of this vast Republican empire! But one life passed away between the first and latest born of one of its great com munities between its infancy and its maturity between its weakness, almost without hope, and its power, almost without limits between its granary holding a few ker. nals of corn, and all its vast store-houses, whose contents, like those of Pharaoh's, we may leave numbering, for they are without number." Steam Communication between Austria and thi United States. We read in the Gazette des Posies, of Frankfort, that the project of a line of steamers from Trieste ;o New York, is now agitated by the direction of tbe Austrian Lloyd.

Stapp 75 turitan Propriety and Boston Morality We copy the following artiele from the New York Tribune. Could not some of the Colporteurs and ' ! Missionaries," which the Boston Yankees are constantly sending " out West" "to do good,' among what they "charitably" call the "heathens," tind employment al home? There is not a city, town, village, or neighbor hood anywhere in the West or South where such disgraceful toadyism ts ivch a woman would be enacted by the most abandoned reprobates, or tolerated, even in them, by any portion of the community. We hope the American Tract Society in Boston, and the American Messenger will take a little time from looking after western wickedness aniLpay some attention to disgraceful immoralities perpetrated under their noses by venerable men and leading citizens. " We have not thought it necessary to keep our readers advised of the movements of Mrs. Heald, Lola Montez, the Countess of Lansfeldt, or whatever be her title, in her theatrical career through the country. But her latest triumph is so remarkable that it deerves to be chronicled. 11 We learn from as respectable a journal as The Boston Courier, that on Friday last this notorious person, escorted by Mr. Frederick B. Emerson, of the Grammar School Board, a gray-haired and highly respectable gentleman, the author, moreover, of several schoolbooks, to be used in training tbe young in good learning and morals, and by Robert E. Hudson, Esq., of the Merchant's Exchange, visited three of the public schools of that city, and was received w th all the honors due from the youth of the American Athens, to a character so well established. By a most felicitous sense of propriety, she was first conducted to the girls' school, in McLean street. Here, we may suppose, that the venerable Emerson, representing Socrates, introduced the modern Aspasia to the pupils in a set discourse, as a model of the graces and virtues by Botonians most esteemed. Thence the party went to the English High School, in Bedford street, where the guest introduced, doubtless, by Mr. Hudson, in the character of Alcibiades -as entertained with an elocutionarv olio in the French language, to which she responded in a brief address, in the same polished idiom. Next, with Socrates Emerson as gentleman usher, to the Latin School, where her pres ence was again saiuteu with declamatory honors. Here she staid longer than in either of the other seminaries, charmed with the excellent scholarship and forwardness of the Puritan youth in Latin, and charming them, as we are told, by her manners and learning. Finally, she rn.de a speech to them in Latin, expressive of her satisfaction, and withdrew. To-day, it is stated by The Boston Courier, she will visit the public institutions of South Boston, on the invitation of the authorities. This looks like a hoax, but after the exhibition of Friday, we are prepared to believe anything of Boston. "But tastes are not to be disputed about, and if the age, ensc, learning, authority, and rigid morality of Boston see fit to pay homage to a courtesan, and to summon their children to do her honor, we will at least suppress our disgust long enough to record the fact." iLTThe fallowing paragraph from the Madison Courier of last Saturday evening published probably about the hour the steamer Redstone blew up will account for the causes which produced that terrible accident: ' ' TV.

The Redstone took her on the wing passed her under way easy. Capt. Pate is very much elated think of making a fast run from Louisvüle to Cincinnati." When such an accident occurs under the circumstances indioated above, the Captain of the boat, if he survives, 1 should be hung like a dog. The Lou'sville Courier of Monday says: This terrible diaster, from all the information we could learn, was the result of the most culpable ignorance and recklessness. The officers of the boat were inexperienced, and tbe engineers, and Captr.in particularly, were very incompetent, and should never have been entrusted with the control or management of a steamboat, on which any human being, other than them- ! selves, would ever travel. There was no water in the , boilers at the time of the explosion as the result has i .ti fully shown. The boat caught fire on the instant of' explosion and was consumed tn the water's edge. A 1 mass of spoons belonging to the boat was pic ked up on the shore, which had been melted together by the intense heat. The Captain, though much hurt, and having a leg and arm broken, is likely to survive. First Payment on the State Debt of Indiana under the new Arrangment. On yesterday Gov. Wright received a letter from Dr. Ellis, Auditor of State, dated New York, 3lst ult , con. vcying the gratifyiug intelligence that the Doctor had sold the stockof. the State in the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad, amounting to $31,450, for tbe sum of $59,339 in the two and a half per cent. State stock. This is the State's stock, not the State's interest in the road, which has been sold to the Company for the sum of $600,000 in the like stocks. This amount, together with the surplus revenue of this year, will enable the I State, during the year 1852, to dischargo three-quarters of a million of her indebtedness. So much for the pru donee and economy of a Democratic State administra tion. C?At tho March term of tho Hancock Circuit Court, we are informed tint the grand jury was in session six days and found but eleven indictments. This speaks well for the morals of the county. Mrs Charlotte Baldwin has posted Professor Elliott, principal of the female accademy at Nashvilic, Tennesee, for calling her husband, who had been employed in the accademy, "an ordinary humbug." She says: "I now call upon hirfi to come forward and prove him to be such, if he can, or I will cowhide him as a standerer every time 1 meet him in the streets ef Nashville." IjA meeting was held in New Yerk on Tuesday evening last, and largely attended, to devise mepns to head off the Maine Statute Temperance-ites. The first thing agreed upon was to establish a newspaper. The Herald says it begins with a capital of fifty thousand dollars, to be extended to one thousand dollars, and backed by rroney and property to the amount of filty millions.

Governor Wright and Mr. McCarl). It is amusing to see the Whig papers constantly applying the terms honest, plain, unastimiagtmu, and snch like terms to Mr. McCarty, the cmnpt-iuor of Governor Wright. A stranger amongst us would come to the conclusion that, at least among tbe Whigs, the article of honesty was a rare commodity, and that Mnce they had one honest man as a candidate, they had better harp upon that string aud nothing eJaa. We perceive that they also have much to say about his personal popularity . a exhibited in the contests in which be has been engaged; and the South Bend Register nndertakes to give some very peculiar reasons for his success, connecting it with the advice of his parents Well, all this has nothing to do questions. Who shall with the be the next Governor of Indiana? Who is the best qualified man to place in charge of the great interests of Indiana? Who will most faithfully discharge the duties of the Executive cbairf Who has the talent, the nerve, and energy to look to all the great interests of tbe State, complicated as they are, and daily increasing? If these mattois, so harped upon bj the Whigs, had anything to do with the election, we think in Govarnor Wright we have the decided advautagc over Mr. Me- ; Carty and the Whigs. It is true Mr. McCarty run for ' Congress in 1847 against Judge Wick with 1,500 majori ity against him in tbe district, and was beaten but 300 ' votes. Gov. Wright rua for Congres with 2.500 majority against him and yet he was elected. The very year that Mr. McCarty was deleated by Judge Wick, by 300 majority Governor Wright was defeated for Congress in a district that had given about the same majority (1,500) in 1844, by the distinguished and popular R. W. Thompson, not by 300. bnt by 146 mnjonty. Governor Wright has always iieen able to carry his ' own county, although differing with him in politi s." We think these facts show that in personal popularity Gov.

Wrght is equal to any man ol the Vlug paitv in the State, and as we believe deservedly so. We know Nicholas McCarty. He sf Id goods in this county a long lime, and at a good profit. No person blames him for this, but it is ridiculous to hear men talk about this or that man as though all the virtue of this world was found in him alone. Mr. McCarty' property in this county is appraised at $80,000. He has fine property in other counties and States. He made it all honestly no doubt in trading and selling goods, all of which is well enough. Other men, however, have opened their hearts and directed their energies to objects and pursuits equally as worthy. Merely because a man makes money and becomes rich is no reason he should be a saint, nor the contrary. The records of the State of Indiana contain the fol lowing sentiment frem the President of the Board of Trustees of the State University, relative to Governor Wright; and that gentleman is a Whig, yet be has the independence thus to speak of the Governor in a leport to the legislature : "It ought to be generally known that, in one instance at least, the State of Indiana ha conferred tbe highest 1 office in her gilt, on an individual who, while a student ! at her State University, acted as janitor or door-keeper to the Institution, earning, by chopping lire-wood aud other services usually conitered menial, the means of a scanty subsistence, while, during college Imuts, he stored his mind and cultivated his intellect ; and finally 1 reaped the reward of self-denial and mental discipline, ; by reaching the Gubernatorial chair of the &ale." In the year 1S29 a young man settled in the Wabash country, in the county of Parke, without an acquaintance, a relative, or a dollar of money, a perfect Hanger. By his conduct and attention to business, he succeeded j in his profession, made some money, which was freely , divided with a crippled brother, then about ten years of age. who was going to school. From time to time met hi were furnished that brother. The Wabash i stranger of 1829 was elected a member of tho iegisla- ; ture from the county of Parke, in 1833. and dur.ng that year introduced a bill which was finally passed, giving each county the right to send a student to the State college, tuition free of charge. Under this law the crippled brother and other young men of Indiana have received an education. In the year 1839 tho invalid brother graduated at the college in Bloomington, studied , his profession, settled in Iowa in 1840, and is now one I of the most intelligent and useful members of the bar in , tbat State. He was a candidate for Congress in 1SÖ1, ana has been a member ot tbe Senate ol Iowa. The Wabash man who educated the crippled brother is now the Governor of Indiana, and his example is worthy of imitation. This does not, however, qualify him for the office of Governor, but is one of the many examples which can he given of the goodness of bis heart. But a few short months ago nothing was more common than for the Whigs themselves to call Governor Wright ' the good Governor" ''the popular Governor,' ''the worthy Governor." If it was not lor bU well known benevolence and generosity , his strict attention to the interests of the State, which drew from Whigs and Whig presses eveiy where these encomiums of praise, what was it pray? Yes, uatil within a few weoks, since Gov. Wright has become a candidate for re-election, this was the language of the Whigs. Now they have substituted such epithets as Trimmer. Hobby-rider. Demagogue. Indima Statesman. ; Kossuth at the West. There are some sagacious observers of passing events who, while Kossuth remained at the East would not admit that his coming had produced any for ling worth taking into account. Now. that he is gone, they speak of it as "a great outburst of popular txciteme.".!," bat insist that it has all died away. When Ostriches bury their heads in tbe sand, we are informed upon credible authority that they can see nothing; &cJ a still more curious fact in natural history is, that they think that every body else is as blind as they are. When Kossuth was enthusiastically received in New York, those who hoped foi hits failure, saw in his recep tion, merely a "city excitement," th.-.t would give place to the uc.t novelty. When he i cached Cincinnati, and received material aid at the rate of $1,500 a day. tbey remembered '-Ohio was giyen to running into extremes" and predicted that it would not last. Each new testimony of sympathy was accounted for by "local causes." But somehow there is always some "local cause" helping the thing along. After all perhaps it does not make much difference what the aid for Hungary is called, so long as it is actually secured. Kossuth's progress through the West has Ic n a succession, not of ovations, processions, dinners and speeches, (for he has declined all expensive parade) but of warm greetings, hearty sympathy and co-operation, effective cent ribiilioiis to the Hungaiiau Fur.il, und evidences of an earnest determination to c1 liana to support the cause in future. His reception at St. Louis has been saarael) inferior in enthusiasm to that at Cincinnati: and Ins passage through Indiana was sucA an one as might !e anticipated in the State that was tbe first to raise hv v. ice in his favor: the one that preferred to speak when speaking would be an aid, ralLer than wait until it -hnuld be a necessity. Albany (AT. Y.) Journal. The Liberum Republic. The editor of the Norfolk Herald a few d ys since had a lengthy conversat.on with an enterprising aud intelligent colored man, formerly of North Carolina, who had just returned from Liberia to make a temporary stay Lere and conduct out to that flourishing Republic a large number of his brethren. He spent six weeks in the country, chiefly at Bassa and Monrovia, and the account which he gives of the country is in every respect favorable. The colony was in a most flourishing condition good government, excellent society, plenty of school? and churches, cheap living, provisions of every k;.ad abundant, agriculture and the mechanic aits, ar.j m short all branches of business prosperous, and '.'oe people contented and happy. Tbe soil is exceed'ugly productive, and adapted to the culture of all the productions of our Southern States, besides numerous others of indigeniotis growth, and the climate coatir.ucs to improve as tbe cultivation of the country extends.
