The Weekly Indiana State Sentinel, If ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR! Eleven Copies for Ten Dollars!! TO BE PAID IN ADVANCE IN ALL CASES. THLiiSD AY HORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1852. Glorious Result. Franklin Pieice, of New Hampshire, elected President, and William R. King of Alabama, Vice Prerdent. The returns are not complete, but enough is known to remove all boubt as to the result. This is a most glorious triumph. A-triumph of principle over taction. Franklin Pierce, oar standard bearer in the late coolest is a true and faithful Representative of Democratic principle. His success is no personal triumph; it is the triumph of Jeffersonian Democracy. During the contest we have been ruddy assailed, our mi -.rives and acts impugned and misrepresented, and in the moment of triumph, wc feel very much disposed to hoot over our opponent, but we are admonished by the words of mir "forions leader, uttered on a recent oecai'n Remember that the hour of Irtuntfth. should be tht hour of magnanimity.'' Our ancient enemy, the enemy of Democracy is defeated, routed, and driven from the held. Under what over feran they will re-organize, time and circumstances alone will determine . In the mean time let as treat them as our fellow-ciliens. Say nothing that will irritate or wound their sensibilities; but when thev show themselves again on the battle field, uo matter ander what banner they p. und, let u , be prepared again to fight them with the weapons of troth and justic. Let us maiotain our own organization, and stand by our cherished principles. Doctors Disagree. The Indiana Journal has yet found no Whig pai'er in the State reckless enough to assert that the recent scarH circular published in this paper was a private communication. The Evansville Journal. (Whig) speaking af it, savs: da. The whole object of the circular is just precisely what a dozen editorials have been in our own paper, to bid Whigs not to be discouraged from going to the polls in thi- State, because they have been beaten in the .State election, and to assure them that we have the Mf Beat prospects for carrying New York Pennsylvania, and Ohio. The circular is not teeret in character nor object, but is an address to the Whigs of the State, and sent to them alone." Now bear what Defrees in bis wrath mays: " It was intended as a private letter, enveloped, sealed, and placed in the Post office in this city - In no possibie way. within nr knowledge, could this letter have come into the possession of the Sentinel, except by a violation of law that would send the perpetrator to the State Prison." Here is the difference between two Whig.editors. One speaks calmly and dispassionately of the thing as it is the other acts under the influence of passion and prejudice. The I Hited States Senator. The following communication appeared in the Indiana Journal of Tuesday morning: Editor State Journal : It is rumored on the street to-day, that Gov. Wright is about to appoint Wm. J. Brown United States Senator, to til! the vaccin ae occasioned rv trie decease ol tiov. Whit comb. II it ... . , . r be true, why did Gov.

Was it necessary to loiestal applications, so that Mr. Brown might have a clear track? How is this matter? We wait to see, CITIZEN. Nov. I. 1352. In reply, we would inform a "Citizen," and all others whom it may concern, that William J. Brown is not an applicant for the appointment of Senator, and would not accept the office if tendered to him. Mr. Brown is satisfied with his position as Editor of the Sentioel, and Gov. Wright desires aim to remain where he is. This citizen is aot quite so wise as he imagines.

How to Get a Wife in India. The following mode of obtaining a bclp-niate, appears

j wont'erfully convenient an! satisfactory. All the delay and eremon' wh'ch precede matrimony amongst im, I ic uiucu uy ini sysiera: iT k l . i . r i-r I i hc ii a man in ueceni ran 01 me wisucs io many, ami can prove that he possesses the means ot maintain. ing a wife, it is customary for bim to apply to the mistress of the Byculla school, state his wishes and qualifications, and to inquire into the number and character of the girls. An investigation immediately follows as to hi eitgtbility ; and if ail promises satisfactorily, he is forthwith invited to drink tea with the school-mistress, upon an appointed evening, to give hi.n an opportunity of making his selection. The elder girls are then irtloroied of this nirend.-.l viot und it mirnort: and those who desire to enter the matrimonial lists come forward, and signify their wish to join the party. Frequently ' four or five competitors make their appearance on these - I - occasions in the mistress's room. The gentleman,! whilst doing bis best to make himself universally agree- ! able, yet contrives, in the course of the evening, to mark his preference to one particular lady. Should these ; symptoms of badding affection be ftvorably received, ho tenders his proposals in dne form on the following morn tag. But it often occurs that the selected lady does not participate in the inamorata's sudden flame, in which case she is at perfect liberty to decline the honor of his alliance, anl reserve herself fur the next tea party ex- I hihition. j We have known instances where an amorous old gen- j tleman from an out-station presented himself three sue- j eessive times at these soirees, in the hope of obtaining a wife to cheer the solitude of his up-country residencebut all in vain; the young ladies unanimously rejected him with the highest disdain, wondering how "such an ugly old fellow ennld have the impudence to think of a Wife!" But a verv different reception is given to a' dashing young serjeant, or smart looking conductor; their attention is never repulsed, and the announcement of the "chosen intendeds," as Miss Sqileer- woM say, is anticipated with the utmost impatience by many nn anxious young heart. The weddinp speedily follows the bride's modest ''trousseau'' being provided from the funds of the establishment, and every girl in the school cheerfully contributing her aid in the manufacture of dresses. Life in Bombay. Personal Appearance or Daniel Webster. The following description of the person of Daniel Webster, at the ace of forty-eight, was written by bis friend, the late Cofouel kuspp, abuui twenty-two years apo "The person of Mr. Webster is singular and commending; his height is above the ordinary size, but he cannot be called tall ; he is broad across the chest, and stoutly and firmly built, but there is nothing of clumsiness cither in his form or gait. His head is very large, his forehead high with good shaped temples. He has a large, black, solemn looking eye that exhibits strength and steadfastness, and which sometimes burns, but seldom sparkles. His hair is of raven black, and both thick and short, without the mark of a gray hair. His eyebrows are af the same color, thick and strongly marked, which give hut features the appearance of sternness; but the general appearance ol bis lace, after it is properly examined, is rather mild than other wise. His movements in the house and in the street, are slow and dignified ; there is no peculiar sweetness in his voice its tsnes are rather harsh than musical; still there is a great variety in them, and some of them catch the ear and chain it down to the most perfect attention. He bears traits of great mental labor, but uo marks of age; in fact, his person is more imposing now, in his forty-eighth year, than it was at thirty years of age. His manners at the bar, and in the deliberate assembly, are peculiar. Hear him , and you will say that his eloquence is founded on no model, ancient or modern all is his own excellencies and delects. His voice has an extraordinary compass. His emphasis belongs to himself alone; it is founded on no rule, nor can it be reduced to any.r' The Pacific Railway. We drove oat yesterday to tlie machine shop of the Pacific Railway, about half a mile west of the city, and were pleased to find that the work of laying the track is now in rapid progress. The road bed is very substantially ballasted; the cross tics are of nmple size, and the rails of the best "T" pattern sixty pounds to the lineal yard. If the whole road shall be constructed as carefully as tbe part we examined, it will be one of the best in the United States. The equipment, we are no less pleased to see, will correspond with the character of the road. The two locomotives now in the shop are of the most approved const i uc. ion. each with four driving wheeles, und finished with all modern improve, ments. When in operation, they will manifest to the people of Missouri the power and superiority of this mode of transit. We think tbe company have acted wisely in starting with all their machinery of the best models. Bu' here after, as we are informed, it is prubable that all their -..-. : -.

We are assured by those who ought 'o know, that the road will, early in December, be in operation at least us far as the new town of Kirk nod. laid out at tbe depot, thirteen miles from St. Louis; during the Wtaiat will be opened through the first division, about forty miles.

A letter from Salt Lake Ci'y to the Cleveland Herald has ventured the follswine description of the Mormon I Governor: " The residence of Brisham Young would be called a splendid residence, in any place iu the States, as would also the Court House be considered an elegant building. The former is finished on the outside witu white luu, that gives it a beautiful color, while the architecture is afler the most approved modern style. It is on the north ic of the eiiy, near Temple block, and has a commanding view cd' the whole city before the eminence upon which it Staads.

FRIDAY MORNING, Nt4VEMBEK 5, 1852.

Marion County. Pierce 2,599, Scott 2158, Hale 110. Pierce 441. Whole vote 4,867. Majority for More Tile Blander. j We cop ; vestenjaT j - ' copy the following from the Indiana Journal of morning: Pierce's Intemperance. Previous to the election we refrained from publishing any thing ia relation to the intemperate habits of Mr Pierce, the President elect of the United States. Now that it is all over, it is but right that the people should know what kind of a man they have placed in the position once occupied by Washington lo that end we copy the following from paper published in the town vrnere Mr. fierce resides : With a full sense of our responsibility, then, we have in previous numbers of this paper, printed at the home of Franklin Piei ce, stated to the public his drinking habits We should have felt that we were doing a public wrong. il knowing, as we do, and, for a long series of years, have known the habits of Mr. Pierce, we had concealed then from those who have a right to know thtm. We have stated, and do now again state, and we challenge a denial, that Franklin Püree' habit are notoriously bad and intemperate tbatiAey Aar been to J or year t that he was drunken as a Representative from this State Hi Congress, and was accused by Governor Isaac Hill. as long ago as 1836, of having "disgraced the state by hit drunken tprees at Washington" that when he was afterwards elected to the United States Senate, his friends aaid that be would respect the dignity of his high office and not disgrace it by a continuation of his drunken practice! , hut that he was more drunken, if possible, as Senator, than he had been as Representative id baa were his habits, while Senator of the United States, that he was prevailed upon by personal friends to RESIGN hit ofice of Senator before the expiration of his Senatorial term. All accounts represent that his drinking habits were very bad while he was in Mexico. Both Democratic, as well as Whig military officers so represent. The Lexington Gaze'ta. referring to the reports of the bad and irregular habits of Gen. Pierce, while in Mexico, says: ''We should have passed this extract by and refrained from giving it publication, were it not that we have similar accounts of the drunken habits of General Pierce from gentlemen of high character, novo citizens of thi place, who were officers in the Mexican War with Gen. Pierce. They are DEMOCRATS, and it can be no ' Whig lie.' The people should know these things before they vote to place a man in so responsible a pott as the Presidency of the United Statu. We have discharged our duty. They can judge of theirs." The Richmond (Va.) Whig, copying the above, adds: " We have heard this same thing from so many sources that uh are forced to believe it. We presume the editors cf the Enquirer may have had the same tale from Democrats wit o werk in Mexico with Gen. Pierce." His drinking habits have grown no better since his return from Mexico. We do, therefore, now again charge it upon General Pierce, that he is an INTEMPERATE and IMMORAL MAN, and Ais friends here do not dare to DENY it! We again say, that Franklin Pierce's drinking habits are notoriously bad and intemperate they are known to be so in fkit community inhere he resides, and his political friends hare not and dare not DENY 1 HE FACT ! This extract. purported to be copied from tbe Concord Patriot, and was published in the west and at remote points on the eve of the election, when there was no time or opportunity to refute it. On the morning of the election the news of this publication reached Concord when the editor of the Patriot sent to different points the following dispatch . "William Butterfield, editor of the Concord. N. H. P.itnot, says, that allegations published in the Dispatch as an advertisement and charging Gen. Pierce, with being a drunkard, are false, and that such article never appeared in the Patriot, from which it is said to have been copied."' With a full knowledge of this fact the Journal copied into its paper the false and forged article, with the remark that previous to the election it had refrained from publishing any thing on that subject. If it was true notoriously true, that Franklin Pierce was a drunkard, why not publish it to the world? Truth is mighty. There is a moral force and influence in truth that bears down all opposition. We never have and never will shrink from publishing the truth. If Franklin Pierce was a drunkard and an immoral man, the people ought to have known it before the election. This charge first appeared from the pen of a correspondent of the New York Tribune, and was published in tbe absence ol Mr. Greeley, the editor. On seeing the article Greeley apolog'zed for its insertion, and corrected its misrepresentations. The article, however, was re-published- This called forth the following reply from ''The Fountain,'' the leading Temperance Journal in New England: "The Hon. Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, is the Democratic candidate for President of the United States. Outside ot his politics, we always liked that same Frank Pierce. He is a man of noble impulses with a heart as big as a pumpkin, always ready with kind offices generous sympathies, and good dtsds. He is a politic ian, and as such may entert in s me naughty sentiments, but about that politicians must inquire. As plain Frank Pierce, we knew him well, and like him, too, and mean to for a while yet. He is a iemperance man, too. We have heard some of his noble, earnest and eloquent appeals for humanity, and they took held of the heart, encouraged nod strengthened ns in oar toils among the Granite Hills. We hope he is a Maine Law man, thongh we don't know what the Times will do, if he is but at any rate, he is a noble fellow, nnd thus, too, we will ever say of him, whether he give us any omce unaer nts administration or noi-" A short time before? tbe election, H. M. Addison, a Whig, and publisher of a Temperance paper at Cleaveland, Ohio, addressed the following note to Mr. T. P Handy, of that oily. The letter and reply speak for themselves: Cleveland, Oct. 25th, 1852. T. P. Handt: Dear Sir: It is stated, in some of the political papers, that Sen. Pierce is a man of intemperate habits ; and zealously as I shall, for other reasons, oppose his election to the Presidency, I should make even greater effort if I fully believed that statement correct, but am unwilling to make so serious a charge against him, without good authority. A triend informs mn that you are, or have been, to some extent personally acquainted with Gen. Pierce. If so, will you please inform me if you know or beliera the charge, of intemperance, against him to be just. Respectfully yoms, H M. ADDISON. MR. H ANDY'S REPLY. Cleveland, Oct. 26th, 1852 H. M. Addisoa-. Dear Sir: 1 have noticed with deep regret the charge to which you refer, as made against Gen. Pierce, and without rcgaid to either of the political parties of the day, I deem it no less an act of justice than of pleasure to be able to contradict them as false and unfounded. My personal acquaintance with Gen. Pierce, extends only for a lew months back, and during a portion of thi tune, the solicitations of political friends and the social intercourse of a public table, were to my personal observation unable to swerve htm from bis purpose of entire abstinence from all intoxicating drinks. Having heard soon after his nomination, similar charges I took some pains to inquire of his friends and neighbors as to their correctness I have no doubt that like many young men of strong social qualities, Gen Pierce mar i.ave daring bis life indulged in the social glass, and has suffered like others the sad consequences, but we have no man in our own city whse strict temperance habits are of a higher order than bis at the present lima. I take pleasure, slso, in bearing testimony to Gen. Pierce's high regard and observance of the Sabbath, and of his moral and exemplary department in the community where he resides Wherever he is personally known, suck slanders would hare no effect except to injure those who alter thorn, and .ie stands in need of no one to vindicate bis

high and honorable character at home. At this distance, and on the eve of an important election, they would undoubtedly influence the minds of many welldisposed citizens if suffered to go uncorrected, and I am glad that your journal has the manliness to speak the truth, whaterer it may be, without regard to political opponents. I ought to say that I do not belong to the political party of which Gen. Pierce is the candidate, bat I regard it as derogatory to the good morals of our country when statements of so slanderous and grave a character are snffered to go unrebuked. Respectfully, yours, T. P. HANDY. The high character of Mr. Handy, as a temperanee

man and a religionist, says the Plain Dealer, silenced this slander at Cleveland, where it had been industriously circulated by the Whigs. The same paper, however, adds the following letter from Mr. Hoyt, a gentleman of high character in Ohio: CARD OF MR. J. T. HOYT. Ma. Gray: Sir: I notice, with regret, in one of- our city papers, a most wanton slander upon tbe private character of Gen. Pierce; charging him with habitual drunkenness, gross immorality, 8tc, See. I was born in Concord, have lived near by, and done business with General Pierce, as a neighbor, and a lawyer, for many years, and know that he is perfectly temperate, and otherwise a gentleman of high moral standing in the community where he resides. I never heard the character of the General questioned until afte.- he was a candidate for the Presidency, and then only by a hirelinq sheet established in Concord by his political enemies expressly to fulminate such slanders. J. T. HOYT. We might extend these testimonials to an indefinite length, but we deem it unnecessary. After the 4th of March next, Frank Pierce will be President- If he is a miserable inebriate, as the Whigs represent, the people will know it, and the deep voice ol public indignation will consign his name to oblivion. But tbe honest people will require some other evidence than the assertions of hired slanderers, or the effusions ol a mendacious public press. By their wicked efforts, his fair and unsullied reputation as s private citizen cannot be tarnished. We have no disposition to pursue this unpleasant subject further. Unpleasant, we say, because it is unpleasant to be driven to the necessity of defending the reputation of a man who stands so high in the ! confidence of the American people as Franklin Pierce. The Last Dying Agonies of that -Mime Old Coon." We clip the following from yesterday's Journal: " The Result. Mr. Pierce has been elected President of the United States. We confess that we have been greatly disappointed at such a result. Wc did not think it possible that the force of party drill and prejudice could elevate to such a position an obscure individual, d" very moderate ability , and who never rendered any signal services to his country, over such a man as infield Scott. The fact that it has been done, will, in all time, when men come to their reason, be regarded as tho most disgraceful occurrence in the history of our country. It is but another instance of the ingratitude of Republics." " Disappointed in the result." Wo told the Journal and its editor and the Whig party that they were doomed to disappointment, but they would not believe us. The Journal and the Whig leaders will now learn that in this country the people vote for principles, not men. Franklin Pierce, the Democratic President elect, is a statesman of enlarged and liberal views. He is a faithful exponent of Democratic principles. His life is a living record of his undoviating devotion lo the pure principles of Jeffersonian Demo. racy. With all the ability and talents necessary lo the faithful administration of the Government, with houesty and integrity he will assume the duties of the Chair of State, and no American need to be alarmed, by Whig bloviating, as to the success of bis administration. It is useless now to institute n comparison between the civil qualifications of the late rival candidates. This question has been decided, and correctly decided by the people, and further discussion on that point is unnecessary. The Whig party is the last party in this country that should ever lisp a word about ingratitude. It was the Whig party who, in 1840, nominated Gen. Wm. Henry Harrison for the Presidency over Henry Clay. The same party in 1848 overslaughed the great statesman of Kentucky, and nominated and elected Zachary Taylor to the Presidency. The late Whig Convention in Baltimore cast aside the ' model President," Mdlatd Fillmore, and the great statesman, Daniel Webster, and nominated Winfield Scott, a military chieftmn. These, it seems to as, if not evidences of the ingrati tude of Republics, are at last unmistakable evidences of the ingratitude of the Whig party. Gratitude .' We h Id that Gen. Scott, as a military commander, did his duty. So did Franklin Pierce in every position in which he was placed, whether eivil or military; but we hold that no man has any claims to the Presidency in this Republic. The field is open to all, and from among those constitutionally eligible, the people choose, and oo man has a right lo gainsay tbe wisdom of their choice. Tbe acts of the President, when he assumes the duties of the office, can alone determine whether that decision has been wise or foolish. 0"So tar as Gen. Scott is concerned, it is a matter of no consequence. His character and fame are beyond the reach of tbe hands of the miscreants that accomplished his defeat. The pen of the future historian will do him that justice his countrymen have denied him. Indiana Journal. The overwhelming vote received by Franklin Pierce would seem to show that this is a land of miscreants. Webster defines a miscreant to bf "I. An infidel, or one who embraces false faith. "2. A vile wretch; an unprincipled fellow." The Democratic party by their votes at the ballot box, defeated Gen. Scott. The men composing this party, the Editor of the Journal denounces as "nilcreants" vile wretches. This is the spirit in which that print has conducted the late canvass. We are gratified to know that the Sentinel has presented a favorable contrast. We have exposed and held up to tbe gaze of the public the wanton assaults of the Indiana Journal on private character and public reputation, without retaliating. Its influence has been felt in the recent elections in our State Men learn wisdom by experience. A Grs raoM the North-West roi Pierce and King! The Democracy of Minnesota Victorious!

SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. 6, 1852.

Joe Wright. The conduct of this individual at tbe polls on the late elections is a subject of general remark and of just ooademnation. On the 12th of October, he peddled out tickets for himself, and attempted to get in illegal votes. On last Tuesday, he stood at the polls the whole day, engaged in the same business.. We are informed, also, that ibis same person, on Tuesday night, after the returns had coraroeaced coming in, denounced Gen. Scott in his usual malitlfeus manner, and said that' he would become a bye-word in tbe mouths of jht? people of this country." What else could be expected of the landerer of Henry Clay?

Th- cloven foot sticks met under the hem of the cloak.

The New York Journal of Commerce says that under tbe present comparatively low tariff that oity has gone ahead like a steamboat, and commerce is the life of its motion. Since that tariff" went into operation, (less than six years,) the population of New York and its environs, including Brooklyn and Williamsborgh, has increased a quarter of a million, and its wealth in nearly the same proportion. Its commerce and tonnage have nearly doubled. Depend npon it, if we go back to restriction, we shall rue the day when we did it.

Whig Talk before the Election. We might fill our columns with extracts of Whig bragadocio. published jast before the election, but we content ourselves with giving a few extracts only. They prove that the Whig editors who published them were either ignorant or dishonest. Prom tbe New Albany Tribune. A Straw. We have never looked upon a mors uhop-fallen and disconsolate set of men than are the Lo cofoco leaders about here. Pierce is no go; he slicks in the throat of Locofocoisaa like tbe grape seed which lodged in the wind pipe and cut short the mortal career of Anaceron. The people won't support him the honest old farmers through this county can't he made to understand exactly what the fainting candidate ever done which they ought to reward ; and until somebody makes such a dis overy they prefer to vote for the war scarred veteran, Gen. Scott. P. 8. Was there ever a child named after Piereet Prom tbe Indiana Journal, j

Among other interesting incidents connected with tbe ast moments of Mr. Webster, the telegraph informs us 15 that a few hours before his last, be was beard to repeat, somewnai inaisiincuy, tne woras poet, poetry, oray, Gray," and that Mr. Fletcher Webster repeated the first line of the Elegy: "The C urfew tolls the knelt of parting dar." 'That's it, that's it," said Mr. Webster, and soma stanzas were read to him which seemed to give him pleasure. Nothing conld more fully or beautifully illustrate the finer traits of Mr. Webster's character than the simple fact that when the hour of bis own dissolution was at haod, his mind should recur to one of the most beautiful creations of poetry, that could, without any impropriety be applied to himself. How singularly appropriate are the last two stanzas to the great statesman's dying moments! Tbe curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the les, The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world lo darkness and to me. Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight. And all the air a solemn stillness hold, Save where tbe Meile wheels bis droning flight. And drowsy tinklings loll the distant folds Beneath those rugged elms, that yew tree s shade, Where beeves the turl in many a mouldering beep, Kach iu his narrow cell forever laid. The rude (srefathera of tie hamlet 'e ; The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, And all that beauty, alt that wraith e'er grave, A wait alike tbe inevitable hour. The paths of glory lead bot to the rave. Mr. Webster's bestiful country borne, "tbe lowing herds" grazing in bis meadows, "the rugged elms" that encircle the mansion, and "the yew tree's isde" that hangs over the graves of his children, migi t well sue . gest the solemn reflections contained in the concluding stanza. Kossnth and the Revolutionary League. A letter from Kossuth, addressed to tbe Congress of public is daily gaining ground, and tbe necessity for united action is now clearly established. He urge tbe necessity of increasing the means of csrryiag on the revolution when it is once begun. The moment tbe fight commences, he says, "tbe Hungarian scrip whioh is in circulation will receive a market value so that it will be possible for those who may find it conveniat to wait the issue of tbe war to realize the value of then stock " Three German patriots, he conceives, should be chosen to manage the fund. The general agency of the Hungarian loan was entrusted by Kossuth, before be left this country, to the German Committee in Philadelphia. The instructions he left shows, he says, that it was not his intention to apply the avails of that loan exclusively to his own country; but be is disposed to place a portion of it to the emancipation of Germany Phil Ledger, Statistics ot Odd Fellowship.
