Now we t . should like to know, if anything more evasive, nnmeaniag, or unsatisfe-tory, was ever penned, than Mr. De- ' frees's views on Temperance. It is evident that the 1 Journal inter.ds to lack shin and set its sails to catch the ' w bree? I Mr. McCarty, the Whig candidate for Governor, is to be paraded ont as the Anti-Temperance candidate. He is no member of a Temperance association. That . n' ft 1 1 o nm,.; which was an objection to Capt. Todd, the Democratic candidate for Senator in Marion county, is to be a recommendation in favor of Nicholas McCarty, the Whig 1 candidal- for Governor. This is Whig consistcnev. " GnsU ba it la. -Maw it is mnde and Ihr Gas Works. ' Since our city has been lighted by Gas, wc have heard , many inquiries in regard to the process of manufacturing gas, the manner of supplying it to consumers, and various other matters in relation lo the manufacture and consumption of it. We have, therefore, thought that a short description of these things would be interesting to our readers, aid herewith present them with the result of our inquiries. WHAT IT IS The Gas is thc volatile elastic fluids evolved from the ordinary biioroinons cal by destructive distillation. , J ' These dii'ds are a compound of carbon and hydrogen, accompanied bv large quantities of hydrogen and carbonic oxide. ITS INVENTION, fcc. The application of cdhl gas to the purposes of illumination is a very modern invention. The honor of the invention belongs to Mr. William Murdoch, a resident of Redruth, Cornwall, in England, who first made this -nr.lie.tmn nf mmm in 172 Thc first extensive estahlisbment lighted by gas was tbe machine shop and engine manufactory of the celebrated Watt &. Bon! ton, near Birmingham. England, in 17?W Now all the cities and large towns in England and the United Stales, are illuminated by this agent, and it has been found the cheapest of all articles for supplying light. HOW IT IS MADE In all extensive and well conducted establishments, il.c processes for the mnnufuture of gas are similar and uniform in the various stag - Wc shall, therefore, contine ourselves lo a description of the mode, nf manufacture pursued in the gas works in this eily. The Gas Works consist of the Retort House, Coal House, Coke House, Lime House, Purifying House, 1 Meter House, Office, and tbe necessary apparatns. ye shall describe each as we eme to them.

FRIDAY MORN I NC, APRIL IG, 1S52. The Temperance C'hnrt. This is a semi-monthly paper, published by the Grand Division of the Son of Temperance of the Stat, of Ina'ara. ' ' 'sued Irom the press oi the Indiana state Journal in this city, and edited by C. Woodard, G. S. The Sons of Temperance in Indiana are composed of both Whigs and Democrats and have heretofore as a hody, opposed all connexion with politics, and we deep. ly regret that the editor, who is an ultra whig, should ( nave suffered his political feelings so far to prejudice and " judgment, as to induce turn to write tne ioiiow--r 1- - " STATE SENATE. i "Lew L.

To apply to him the appellation of " Whiskey Democrat" is afoul and unmitigated slander, unworthy the organ of the jj f .r intended Jur ponucal Of - , Sons of Temperance. uas feet. Mr. Woodard takes good care not to say that Mr. . . , , , ,.j - Q coburn, thc defeated candidate for Senator, was a Tern. perance Whig. Mr. Coburn was laid on the shelf, and j such a declaration could have answered no party pur- ' pase. But for the purpose of inducing the Sons of Ternperance to vote for Mr. McCarty for Governor, he says . u n .l ... ;.! i ,l . c to fiill the vacancy occasioned hv the resignation of lg Hon. Nicholas McCarty.. a Temperance Whi9." Now what will those who are unacquainted with these gentleman naturally infer from this article? The inference will be that Capt. i odd is a noisy, brawling, whis J key drinking, grog bruising democrat, when the very to him compels us to to say that he discountenances all such clap-trap means of obtaining votes. But his elec- ' tjün w Prosl,t rould be a Whig triumph, and hence Mr. Woodard titutes the organ of the Sons of Temperance to diss!. 1 1 " mrtr uc nAiinc IT f t f i- P jrf t' lei ntitl ril fV . 9MVII IV Jo- j 'UJV.
