OyThe Penn.svlvanian. edited by a fellow that acted as a piutp for Forrest to procure testimony against his' wile, thus speaks ol tinv Corwin: , bo with the Uaidmer claim in this transaction, Corwin was alone concerned and the money which he j niched Irom the government, in the shape of a re, he is now using to muzzle ;,nd silence those presses in ; Unio, which have manilested a disposition to oppose ' Gen Scott." Tins scoundrel knows that Mr. Corwin did not re- ! celve a single cent from the fiov-rnmen, ., fr in the ' Uardtner case. By the terms ol our treaty with Mexico we bonnd ourselves to pay claims against the Mexican uovernmenr to the a i mint ol a certain specified sum. The Gardiner claim was against the Mexican Government, not agaiaal ours. The claim was allowed br the Corami-i"iir :ivointed for the purpose of examining claims upon wh:u they deemed sufficient testimony. It is now charged that the testimony was false. That chiirge has not vet been judicially established. Our Government did not lose a single cent because of the allowance of the G.irdiner claim.

O"0r old correspondent, Timothy Tngmntton, has been nominated by the Whigs as a candidate for Representative in this county. .ort-moirr. Timothy being now fairly before the public, as -Toott Whig candidate, we presume he, like his great proto type, the General, will refer the people :to the known incidents of a long life now nndergoing the severest ! scrutiny." One of the incidents of that life was his vio lent opposition to the New Constitution, on account of i r, . ble 13th Article, winch exclude negroes Irom emigre- . ' ...... . nug iu iuu .-11 1- anu nno in-, oujri-iioiis IO Ilia seeuiiu section of Article No. 2, which permits white male persons of foreign birth to vote, after a residence in the United States of one year and in the State fors x months, on their declaring their intention to become citizens. On this latter subject, in a communication published in ine uocomotive 01 tne ."i 01 Angust, i?sri ( e says . inis law, tncreiore, asit stands in the new Constitution. nullifies the law of Congress, over-rides the Constitution of the I uit .l States, or, if it yields to that, - , w 1 controls the law ol every oilier State, (and, as already shown, a similar law of any other State would control ours-just to this absurdity, this assumption of naturaliing power by a Siata leads)-and finally it is unco- ' stitutional. 11 this difficulty was out of the way, I could vote for the New Constitution heartily-as it is, I cannot, and I know a great many others in the same predicament We are informed, as another ,n ident of hi. life, that he voted for Mr. an Buten ür President in 1848.

But the people of , Iu)ftna( if lhev 70ok ,0 lhe pasti wil not place the j ahigs again in power, to correct these evils. The of- ! fice-hunters amongst them are very hungry.

His administration of the affHirs of the State was eminently successful. Governor Wright succeeded hiqi. and even his competitor, Mr. M n : miu;r tn. ..lm;. th..t l, hmm .

That the only objection against him is, that he is a Democrat and supports Franklin Pierce for President. Mr. McCarly thinks he could have done as well as Gov. Wright; but this we are disposed to doubt, and so are the people of the State. In conclusion we would ask, is there the smallest reason why wo should go back to Whiggery to benefit the State of Indiana, even admitting', which we do not, that a few more clerks and door-keepers have been employed by the Convention and Legislature, than were necessary, to frame and carry out our new Constitution? This in strument, we venture to say, will not only elevate the j charac'ar of our State ; but will result in a system of ; econor.'.y and good government which will be fell for the j next half century, tr not Tor all time, unr constitution absolutely prohibits an increase of our public debt. It provides for biennial sessions. It limits these bu-nnial sessions to sixty one days. It prevents local legislation, so that hereafter any of the abuses, which are complained of, even if they existed, cannot take place. So the motive to place the Whiff party again in power is entirely removed. The history of the past, with all its gloom and despondency, stares us in the face. Like Banuuo's ffhost. it will visit any ; Democrat, who maybe so unmindful as to vote the Whig ticket. If Democrats have, at any tune done WX t - . inn wroaag, while in power, the correction should be made. The people are omnipotent, and Democrats are willing to obey and are competent to the task. Recollect the enormous extravagance of the present National administration, now in Whig hands. Recollect the system ol Galphinism that has been adopted, by those in power at Washington, and recollect tho melancholy history of Indiana under Whig rule; and her present bright and cheering prospects, brought about by Democratic men and Democratic measures, and then choose tho better part, and reject that which might again involve us in the same ruin, from which we have happily escaped. Do this and (he future happiness and glory of Indiana are secure,
