Report of the Committee in favor of John II. Bradley. For the benefit of our Whig subscribers, we publish the report of the committee of three, which will explaiu itself: TO THE WHIGS OF MARION COUNTY, AND OF THIS CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. The undersigned, a delegation appointed by the County Convention of the friends of W infield Scott, of Marion county, to consult with their friends in the counties of Hancock, Shelby. Johnson, Morgan, and Hendricks, to agree upon and select a candidate for Congress in the District, are now, after such consultation, instructed to report: That, in the opinion of all, a Congressional Convention is deemed unnecessary that with equal unanimity John H. Bradley, of Marion county, has been agreed upon as the candidate for Congress of the friends of Gen, Scott in this District. In accordance with this selection, the undersigned have addressed a letter to Mr. Bradley, informing him of such result, and requesting him to allow his name to be presented as such candidate ; to which he has replied, ;-ihat he was willing to support and would advocate publicly the election of any other candidate, and would prefer so to do; yet as an ardent friend of the election of Wintield S- tt to the Presidency, and of the success of Whig principles, if it was deemed liest by his friends in the District that he should be the candidate, he would not shrink from the responsibility." We. therefore, now present his name, and have requested it to be inscited in the general ticket, to be voted for at the ensuing election. Respect fully , WM. HANNAMAN, SIMS A. COLLET, WILLIS W. WRIGHT, Committee. It appears that great unanimity prevailed in the i-ounties. It is understood that in consequence of his late connection with the free-soil parly, and his zealous support of Marlin Yan Buren, thai he can now get the votes of the friends of Hale and Julian; these added to the Whig votes make him willing to meet the " responsibility.'" To be elected to Congress is rather a pleasant responsibility But to run with the certainty it, requires some nerve, especially as this is id District lor a free-soiler.

Among them we might name the Winchester Patriot, 1 who always gets its news from that fountain. In that paper of the 26th ult. we find the following - . - In that Huzza rni Iowa. Immediatelv after the election in Iowa, Bill Brown, of head-shaking memory, brought his big Rooster out and crowed loud and long over the result ot the recent elecUOB in that gallant little Mate; but ins rowing is turned tmßo mourning. Instead of the Democrats succeeding, flbe Whigs have achieved a glorious triumph, which places tho State beyond all question for Scott and Graham. The Whigs elected one of the two Congressmen a majority in the Legislature and have fifteen hundred majority in the aggregate vote of the Mate. Let Bill Brown crow or shake his head as much as he pleases the thing is settled that Scott will be the next President. This is the kind of news that is manufactured for the border counties at the Journal office. It is caught up and published by these small-fry editors who never intend to let their readers know the truth. Now, the true retnrns show that one Whig is elected to Congress by 300 majority, and one Democrat by 800 majority; and that on joint ballot in the Legislature there are 'ii Democratic majority, and on the aggregate vote for the State ticket a Democratic majority of 1,900. iC7"We understand that Hiram BrowB, Esq., will be an independent candidate for Prosecuting Attorney in this judicial circuit.

landlord of a hotel murdered a cinek-pedler named Francisco, and afterwards attempted, with two others, to kill a brother of the murdered man, who. ni defending himself, killed the landlord and one of his accomplices. Wo doubt the truth of the story, as the Brownstown Observer of Tuesday four days after the time it is alleged the murder was committed says nothing of it. 1 ;"The Indiana Journal calls Gov. Wright "a small bcr politician the mere retailer of Im slang of other men " By such low epithets this organ expects to convince the people that they ought lo vote for Nicholas McCarty. This may be a judicious mode of electioneering for Mr. McCarty j but wo think when the votes of the honest people of Indiana are counted, the Journal clique will find that they have been knawing a tile in other words, they will lose more than they will make.

PBIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 3, 1852.

False Pretences. Defrees attempts to create the impression that Dr. Ellis has certified to the correctness of the Whig document, containing certain garbled extracts from the Legislative expenses. This is not true, and when Defrees attempts palm off such a thing on the public, he doe it lot the purpose of def i ning them No one believes that liie Auditor ol State would have certified to Office of Auditor of State, i Indianapolis. July 29. 1S52. S J. D. Defkees, Esq. Sir: In looking over your paper of this morning, I find an error in the amount paid Hon. C. H. Test, for enrolling. The whole sum paid the Secretary of State for that service, was only $S4K. the S.bO, as allowed in the specific appropriation bill being included in that amount, and inadvertantly stated as a separate item, you will therefore please make the proper correction. Very respectfully, E. W. H. ELLIS, Auditor of State. This is appended to the Whig document in a manner ; ... l-.l . - .1 :. l .u. :. - mlM . I ,,llr""ou l" t"urjr me luca 111.11 11 is a cei MBM , w lie 11 H is only note reqesting the editor to correct one single item. The correctness of not another item, stated in the long bill, is certified to by Dr. Ellis, or any one else. For aught wc know, or the public know, they are all incorrect . Let the editor and Mr. McCarty produce the official certificate of the proper officer before they attempt to palm oil" such productions on our honest, unsuspecting public. In ccndinrism. O.i last Wednesday mornicg, about 11 o'clock, the stable of Mrs. Richardson, on the alley between Illinois and Meridian, and Ohio and New York streets, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was instantly giveB, but the building was destroyed belore the engines reached the ground Scarcely had the firemen put up their apparatus when the alarm of fire was again heard. This time it was the stable of Dr. Parry, on the same joining stable of Rev. Mr. M'Lean, before the fire was extinguished. On Wednesday night, about ten o'clock, the woodhouse of Mr. J. Little, on Alabama street, accidentally caught fire and burnt down; but the firemen prevented the fire from doing any further injury. About I o'clock, the same night, an out-house lielonging to Joshua Stevens, Esq., in the south-pastern part of the city, was set on fire, and burnt down. Our citizens should be on the look-out for the impudent scoundrels, who are thus infesting our city. They are doubtless the same who were so active last winter in burning old houses, and impunity has made them bold ami reckless.

A Card. Owing to the fact that the speakers, both Whig and Democratic, are engaged in the general canvass, it will be inconvenient to prosecute the discussion heretofore contemplated. The same is, therefore, by mutual conent' mdeiinittly postponed. SAMUEL P. DANIELS, For Central Democratic Club H C NEWCOMB, For Chippewa Club. September 3d, 1852. Ilon. W. Z. Stuart.

Governor Wright never was a memj ber of any Hungarian Association in Indiana He gave mite tn the Hungarian fund, and in this NichoUal McCariv beat him, for he gave more than the Governoi did, as he was able to do. Nicholas McCarty was one of the Whig Senators who invited Ciov. Kossuth to visit Indiana. The act of the Legislature, both Whigs and Democrats, made him the guest of the State, and as such Governor Wright extended to him those courtesies which the occasion required. Kossuth is the able and talented champion of liberty in the old world. He came to America to plead for his oppressed and down trodden country. This is his crime a crime which is magnified by the Whig press, in hopes of making converts to the sinking cause of Whiggery. , (rjTho Journal is troubled to know the reason why : John p h has Uen announced to speak at lhe I . . . great Democratic Mass Meeting to be held in this city on the 13th inst.

We can now give our readers something like accurate information as to the political complexion of the next Legislature.

Nothing is more injurious to the newspaper press, than this endors ing and giving currency to unfounded rumors; all credit for veracity is lost by it, and "a newspaper story'' be comes an authority to be laughed at.

Scott. An interesting anecdote is told by a Masacbui Its offieer, of the wonderful foresight of our great chiel, whose plans for the whole conquest of Mexico SSaso made history, by altering the tenses from future to past While at Vera Cruz, Gen. Scott sent for the head of the Quarter Master's department, and said to him: ''Sir, have you got everything in readiness in your line, which i we may want between this and the capital?" sir, I have got everything an army can possibly leqojso. "Have you sent along any tn-penny nails " leupenny nails! No sir." ' Then forward a cask of them.' The officer whs puzzled to conceive what the General could want with ten-penny nails. But when the " Na tional Bridge " was blown into a mass of rocks by the flying enemy, the General's admirable foresight was ap ! I"' The Penobscot lumbermen were soon ready ; - . fa tjmber renajr ,he aU wa, I . ' turned out, and the army was on its road to victory Fitchbureh Reveille j hj h enoei2eu im,,arV i, i.ad ,ui : cause to pray to the Lord to save him Irom his Iriendthat officer is Maior General Winfield Scott. Here is a Massachusetts officer extolling the great chief for his wonderful foresight m ordering ten-penny nails for r pairing a bridge. This Massachusetts friend would lead the common sense portion of the public to believe that the tall hero of the Whig party had not the sense be was born with. Ten-penny nails for repairing the national bridge in Mexico, when ten inch spikes are scarcely laige enough to secure the timbers of a bridge! But the eulogist can not be more than half witted himself. Does he not know that ten-penny nails are only one inch and a ball long, and the military chief only wanted them to nail up the boxes which contained bis feathers. But this inter esting anecdote is going the rounds of the press, and the innocent Whig exquisites, many of whom have nevei seen a nail or head of a spike, take it in as the hen a fide " truth of history." But, for their edification, I must inform them that the national bridge in Mexico was not blown into a mass ol" rocks by the flying enemy, nor was it requisite to use a single ten-penny nail in repairing it. The flying enemy had neither time nor inclination to destroy that admirable structure of stone and cement, and the hosts of Xerxes might have passed over it at any time during the Mexi can war if ten-penny nails had never been invented. It is requisite, melhinks, to nail such absurdities oi our opponents. loth past had future, for they are a weak race, and their plans cannot strengthen their cause, however they may resort to idle tales nd subterfuges to make up a history, if we only keep a correct run ol their chicanery, and expose it intime to destroy its effects PALO ALTO Democratic Convention of Greene fount .
