The Weekly Indiana StaU Sentinel, 18 ON LT ONE DOLLAR A TEAR! Eleven Copies for Ten Dollar!! TO BE PAID IN ADVANCE IN ALL CASES. THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 1852. Elcctiou of President. The Electors of this State met at the Supreme Court room yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, in pursuance of the act of Congress on that subject, for the purpose of casting the vote of the State for President and Vice President. Owing to the fact that a law, passed at the j last session of the Legislature, and circulated in pamphlet form all over the State, fixed the time of meeting on the first Monday of December, but five of the electors were present the others misled by the State law which conflicts with the act of Congress of 1792, were absent Those who were present were John Petit and James H. Lane, for the Stale at large; James S. Athon, for the 2d District ; E. Dumont, for the 4th District ; S- A. Hall, for the 9th District. The vacancies were fiUed, as required by law, by the appointment of the following gentlemen: John F. Read, for the 1st District; Jas. Scott Hester, 3d District; Nathaniel Bolton. 5th District; Alex. F. Morrison, 6th District; (W. J. Brown absent at Cincinnati); W. C. Larrabee, 7th District; Geo. P. Buell, 8th District; Austia H Brown, 10th District, and J. M. Talbott, 11th District. The 13 electoral votes were cast for Franklin Pierce for President., and William R. King for Vice President. Dr. B. F. Mullen, of Decatur county, was selected as messenger to convey the vote to Washington, D. C. Gold Mines in Canada. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing fram Toronto, Canada West, ander date of November 16th, mentions the tact that gold mines have been found also in the Province, as well as Canada East. The locality of the new discoveries is in the township of Artemessa, about thirty-five miles south of Owen Sound. One hundred and fifty men are said te be at work in the new mines already, and crowds of people were hurrying to them from all directions. Ü7" Fred Douglass, an impudent negro, who has bee:i spoiled by the petting of the Abolitionists, speaks thus ia his paper of the terms upon which be will associate with the white folks: " We ..1 not say that it is unbecoming in Mr. Greeley to bring out Senator Seward as a candidate for the Presidency basing his claims upon anti-slavery. If the design is te come upon the Pittsburgh platform, and oompete with the Free Democracy candidate, we shall regard seek a course altogether becoming; but if the design is to form a collateral party with the intent te absorb the Free Democracy on a new party, formed of the wrecks and ruins of the Whig party, we ehall beg spiritedly to demur " JJfQuite a spicy controversy upon the question, "was Washington a Presbyterian?" is being carried on ia the columns of the Madison Courier, by Rev. F. T. Brown a Presbyterian Minister in Madison, and a writer who signs IteaeU R. B. C," supposed to be Dr. Claxton, the Episcopal Minister. Mr. Claxtoa, so far, appears to have the best of it. 17 The Milwaukee Newa is responsible for th following. It has the air of truth and is funny enough to last a fortnight .- A friend of ours, who possesses a quiet vein of humor, was recently on a visit to Maryland, and relates an amusing account of a "colored o boras" witnessed by the "relator" at one of the African churches. The masculine darkies wre arranged "like four-and-twenty black-birds all in a row," on one aide, and the females on the .ther. The latter commenced the chorus with "Oh! for a man h' for a man oh! for a mansion in the skies," to which lhe former responded: " Send down sal send down sal send down salvation to my soel." iLTWe have received from Messrs. Ellis fc Spann, a copy of the first volume of the Revised Statutes. It is a well printed work of nearly 600 pages, and its publication thus early is creditable to the printers. The.binding, by Mt-aars. Delxell & Tyler is unusually good. John's Last ! The following is in the best vein of the letters to Jesse Hoyt: (Prom the Albany, (sj, y ) Atlas. "Mt Dxa Cassidt: What ia tbe matter with the Evening Journal? I see the Whigs are anxiously enpjsjms whether they art dead or net, ami that the Journal take, the negative ; but snrely it cannot be necessary to exhibit such convulsions to prove they are not dead, but dying. Why does the Journal keep scolding me? For once, it is in error as to a fact. I have not been to Concord since election. Please aay so ia tbe Atlas and ask the Journal to keep quiet. If the Whig party is dead, the Federal party still lives, and both the editors of tbe Journal are entitled to a nigh place in that. But they must not b-llow bo. It was always characteristic of the Fedeial party to lie easy! I will not underscore the last worda. but it would be juat like you to do it. Truly ours, J. VAN BÜREN. "New York, Nov. 11, 1852." FiLLiausTaaisK The New York Sun is showiag that there is a "fillibusterism" in despotism as well aa in Demobracy. Tbe ditf-rence between th two, the editor define tho: "The fiilibusierisro of despotism ol aim the sanction of Heaven to suijogate nations, despoil provinces, aad brutalize mankind to the unreasoning condition of exen, io labor in the yoke or of horses, to bear tyrants on their backs and to be stimulated to greater exertion bv the spur and :be whip. The tiliibusterism' of Democracy aims at the elevation and regeneration of the bman race by first taking off the yoke by striking down the tyrant and then by teaching humanity ita rights and duties." 8TA State Printer will be to elect this winter by th slatare. Austin H. Brown, publisher of the State Sentinel i a candidate. Brown's paper being the reeogioz - .i rgan of the Democratic party at tbe seal of Government, the printing patronage of lhe State under Uemo.-r -io c-mtrof should be given to his office Sinews ot war" are essential to effective service ia political contest; and tbe party that will not snt tain its press libera ly is nnwurihy of success, place, and power.

Boston Toadyism. The Boston people delight ,in glorification. They are always glonfiying themselves, und whenever an opportunity is given them by the presence of some distinguished or notorious individual, they cease awhile tbeir labors of self-love and render homage to the stranger. They are not particular, either as to the character of the person whom they thus temporarily deify. All they ask for is notoriety, they care not of what kind all is fish that comes to their net a statesman or an opera singer, a literary man or a debauched dancing woman, are all equally welcome and equally feted. Every body remembers what fulsome adulation was heaped upon Dickens, and the Illing reward be bestowed upon them for it. It is not forgotten, either, the distinguished eclat with which the notorious Lola Montes was received in the puritan city. Venerable school trustees took her round to tbeir infant schools probably to give their daughters a sight of one whose life was deemed worthy of their emulation. The latest wonder they have caught is Madame Sontag, a celebrated opera singer, and, undoubtedly, an excellent lady. She was recently in Boston, giving concerts, but the clergyman of that godly city were too pious and too conscientious to attend a concert to which the people ''the vulgar herd" were admitted. Madame Sontag, learning the scruples of these gentlemen, very kindly invited them in a body to attend a "rehearsal." They, good souls, instantly discerned the difference between a rehearsal and a concert, and very consistently accepted her invitation "The following touching scene," we copy from a Boston paper, "took place, and explains itself:" Between the parts, the Rev. Mr. Barnard requested

' the audience to retain their seat on the conclusion of the rehearsal, when tb Rev. Dr. Sharp ascended the platform, and in a most feeling and appropriate address, thanked Madame Sontag on the behalf of all present, for the gratification which had been afforded them. He reviewed the circumstances, under which this in fact full concert had been given, eulogising in glowing terms that kindness of heart which bad prompted Madame Sontag to sniaister to the pleasure of those who were precluded from attending on other occasions, and concluded by invoking the protection and blessing of rrovidence on tier, ana hers here, with the hope that she might be permitted to mingle her voice with the seraphs hereafter, in praise of Him who gave it. The entire audience were visibly affected by this ad dress. There was scarcely an eye to which the unbidden tear did not rise, whilst the cairn and impressive language of the Rev. Doctor fell on their ears, and his aged appearance and venerable simplicity gave the undeniable stamp of truth to all he uttered. Madame Sontajj could not restrain her emotion her tears fell fast and the only utterance she could find for thanks, was by taking both the Rev. Doctor's hands in her own, and for several moments retaining them, whilst bowing her head in silence. A little girl from the Warren-street Chapel then advanced, and presented her with a bouquet, bearing an inscription, whom she at once stooped and kissed. This act at once affording the aedience relief, in giving vent to the applause they had been long anxious to bestow. Long after Madame Sontag had retired to the waiting room her emotion continued, and she observed, "oh that good olergyman never has my heart been so touched before How can I thank him and all these kind friends?" And on bis being introduced, she again personally expressed her feelings to him. The Rev. Mr. Barnard also announced that two Bibles the on Protestant, the other Catholic would be presented to Madame Sontag, and awaited the signatures of the clergy. A bouquet was also presented to little Paul Julien by the school children, inscribed 'God bless and keep thee." Transtript. From th Kentucky Sutasmsa. CtT'As the facts in reference to the course of Mr. Fillmore s administration touching the Cuban matter come : to ngnt , we are sure every spinteo American eitixen . must feel his cheek raant e with shame and indignation, at the humiliating attitude his country is made to ocoupy. It will be remembered that Mr. George Law, a , private Amenean ctt.xen, is be Government contractor j lor carrying me u. ö. mail 10 Havana, in ma own ; ships. Engaged in the pursuits of commerce, he has, of course, the right to man his ships with persons of his own choice ; and in the exercise of Urs right, our government, if it be worthy the nam of government, snouiu proteot mm. nut u seems mat tne Spanish authorities of Cuba objected, for aomo imaginary reason, to Lieut. Porter, who commanded thc steamer Crescent r ... i a :.l i .1 : e n viijf , auu iu jimiii, wuu was 111 lue capacity ui r u, scon the same vessel. The insolence of the Governor General of Cuba was carried so far, that he refused to let tbe Crescent City enter th- port of Havana with these American citizens on board. Under these circumstances, Mr. Law appealed to bis government for the protection of his rights; and it was given out by the government organ at Washington, (bat the administration would act with great spirit and energy in the premises. But what turns out to be the fact ? While this evidenco of spirit was held forth to the country, it turns oat that tbe administration bad given private assurances to the Spanish Minister at Washington ft.f P.irt.. anil milk .knnU I. 11 It n i J ... vm, nid, a v.. 1 auu uuiiiii iuuuiu iiul uo aiymou tu Ulf 11 - tince on tnc crescent city, and that they should not be allowed to return to Havana. Thus, instead of protecting the rights of American citizens, and resenting with a becoming spirit an insult to th' American flag, tbe miserable oravens who control the government at Washington, meanly cringe to the insolent and unlawful demands of the superanuatcd Spanish despotism, and undertake to inflnenoe Mr. Law to do the same thing. We submit that this course of conduct is too much to bear with patience. It is a national disgrace, and an insult offered, by the present administration, to every American citizen. At this rate we shall soon become the scoff and sneer of every petty despot of Europe ; and the title of A . eriean citizen, instead of being a passport to respect, will be a badge of disgrace. Tbe American people may well congratulate themselves that they will soon be rid of Fillmore and his cowardly policy, and that they will soon have the government in Democratic hands, who will have a higher appreciation of what is due American citizens and American character. Uncle Tom's Cabin. Judge Bragg, member of Congress from Alabama, speaks aa follows. I refer here more particularly to a work of fiction, called "Uncle Tom's Cabin," written by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and of which the newspapers tell us three hun. drei thousand copies have been sold and circulated in England and th free State. I have looked into the book, and find it to be a most gross and exaggerated caricature of the manners and institutions of (he South. Every southern plantation ia represented a, a hnrem, and every female slave as the victim of her master's lasts. What southern woman can be found who would consent to write such a book as this about northern people, though they have oertainly abundant material for tbe taskr say what you will about the social system of j the south, it never was tbe parent of such monstrosities as this. Wbilber does all this tend? For Liberie. Th barque Linda Stewart sailed for Liberia yesterday. She carried out nine colored emigrants from this city, and is to take on board 170 more at Norfolk, all on acoount of the American Colonization Society, and destined for Monrovia, in Liberia. Besides the emigrants. i the Linda Stewart carried out as cabin passengers the Rev. Bishop Scott, Rev. W. Hörne, an1 Miss Reynolds, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and tbe Rev. Mr. Scott and lady, and Miss Freeman, of the Protestant Episcopal Missionary Society. The three latter are destined fer Cape Palmas. The brig Shirley, another fine vessel, will leave his port for Liberia on Wednesday or Thursday next. Sh will take ont some forty emi grants from this Stat, together with five cabin passen2rs from the Baptist Missionary Society. She will i . i (ouch ' ell the coontt Ball .

Sax-riMENT The following true and beautiful sentiment was given at a Democratic celebration at Charlottsville, Virginia, on tbe 10th ult: " Wotteld Scott ; always victorious over the enemies ef his country, he eoald not conquer its friends."

Oh the 27th ult , the Republic, by authority of the President, published tho following private letter: Washington, Nov. 12, 1S52. Hon Hcoh Maxwell, New York city Youi note of yesterday came to hand this morning, in which you stato a convei sation yon have had with Mr. George Law, from which you learned that th "Crescent City will go to Cuba and enter the port of Havana, in defiance of the Spanish aathorities, and if fired upon, she wiil be surrendered, and that then he and others will immediately commence hostilities against the island." You say also that "be desires to know whether he is right in persisting in the pursuit of his lawful business, and, V the Government shall tell him he must n t go, he will not go. If, however, the Government says nothing against his going, he will infer he has a right to go." You say also that ''he professes to be Iriendly to me and my Administration." Of the sincerity of this latter profession one can best judge by rending his letter of the 9th, published ia the New York Herald of the 10th instant. Bnt, in regard to the chief matters of your letter, permit me to say that, in the first place, I do not admit the light of Mr. Law, or any other citixen, to threaten a war on his own account for tht purpose of seeking redress for real or imaginary isiuries, and then to call upon the Government to say whether it approves j or disapproves of such conduct and assume its approbation, unless the act is forbiddea. The Constitution of the United States has vested in Congress alone the power of declaring war, and neither the Executive branch of the Government nor Mr. Law has an- right to usurp that power by commencing a war without its authority, anu it ne snail hi tempi it, u win be my .uuiy, as it is my determination to exert all the power confided to the Extcutive Government by the Constitution and laws to prevent it. I am resolved at every haxard to maintain our rights in (his controversy against Spsin, snd I am equally resolved that no act of oar own citizens shall be pctm'tted to place this Government in the wrong. Mr. Law has ac ui.doubt.nl right to pursue bis lawful business, but when a question is raised between this Government ai.d a foreign nation as to whether the business which he pursues is lawful, or pursued in a lawful manner, the decision of that question b longs to the two Governments and not to him. If the object be to assert his right to enter the port of Havana with such persons as ha may choose to select, in defiance of the laws and government of Spain, be has certainly done enough to present that question for the decision of the Government' of Spsin and the Unit, d State ; and the i egotiation has already comraen ced, and our rights as we anderstand tham hitve been asserted, and as I said before, will be maintained: but the act of thia Government cannot be controlled by the interference of any individual ; and it is entirely unnecessary that Mr. Law should repeat these attempts for ' the purpose of settling this controversy, and if he wilful- I ly does so, and in so doing violates the laws of a foreign nauon mumsm -- jur.su.cuon. .. lUrr.oy ,o.e. or f , , r ( , t. his i'uoba ha nan aviUlnf r n mdamnitv I s-iv iiiAn ; an act of folly from this Government We regulate the I I 1UUS III V VOOV I UW - WAUV.

This . nu(.,,jon nüt to be settled between him and Cuba nor even between the United States and Cuba, but be tween the United States and Spain, which alone ia re sponsible for the conduct of tho Governor of Cuba. I write in tome haste, as, tbe mail is closing; bet you are at iiberty to make known tue contents of this letter to Mr Law and to lnforrn hiB1) that a a ood citizell j nrolm(. h( ;n ot ttmnt an vinla.inn . f ur ...

Thc Republic, conimentiug upon the letter, says that j Mr. Law. on being apprised of lhe contents of th let- j ter, replied that his intentions in relation to making war j on Cuba had been misunderstood The Republic also announces that Davenport has been i removed and that no other officer of the navy will be1 permitted to enter the service of the company as lo.g as j the manager adheres to bia present practice of convert- j ing the visits of his vessels into a source of annoyance I to the Spanish official. With the view of preventing a repetition of the iniory which the failure to deliver the Havana mails inflicts on the mercantile classes, the Postmaster General has dlrected that mails shall not be again despatched in the I Crescent City, or in any other company's steamers I which ma have Purser Smith on board, but will be sent by the steamer Isabel, therefore, il Law choose to retain Purser Smith, his steamers will be stripped of the ... , . j f u ri official character and patronage of Havana no pretence iu claim immunities or consideration as an agent of the Government. The Administration is resolved to fulfil the obligation which it owes to the citizens of th. United States Govsinmunl anil drittln 1 1 tho AW t An f rf Ha RAu.r K stnialt mi ui tier aui WW uns as iw us, äh- oi ho tvTii , y 1,1 ujhr ' . . ing ovcry attempt to compromise, the peace existing betarnen the two countries, whether by a Lopez expedii ion or disguised ander pretence of lawful business; as in case of the Crescent City. It will be seen th-tt th Spanish Governor General, Canedo, has at length received that assistance from the Administration, in enforcing his arrogant demands, which he has evidently been expecting. Mr Fillmore has removed Lieutenant Davenport from tbe command ot the Crescent City, snd refuses to permit any other officer of the navy to enter the service of the company. We presome he could not find an officer ol tne Navy so pusillanimoas aa to submit to the humiliating demands of Canedo, and therefore tbe President's refusal Io appoint another commander to th Crescent City is well grounded. Not having tbe power to diroharg Purser Smith, the President declares that the mails shall not again be sent out in the Cresoent City this, no doubt, is intended as a punishment to the owners of that vessel for their contumacy in endeavoring to sustain the honor of the eeuntry and their own rights, in opposition to th will of Gen. Canedo and the President. We should like to know what rights the present Whig administration are willing to guaranty to our citizens. By this act, they have conceded to the authorities of Cuba, and of course to all other foreign powers the right to declare, not only who shall and who shall not enter their ports, bat also to exercise a supervision over the crew of every vessel and decide who shall man it. No Amerioan vessel, a 2 cording to this principle, now haa a right to enter Havana without a orew, from Captain down to cook, selected in accordance with tho whims and wishes of the Governor General. We did not expect, from a Whig administration, a very vigorous resistance to the insolence of this Spanish official, bat we must acknowledge that we were altogether unprepared for such a disgraceful submission to his humiliating demands. Mr. Fillmore may think that tha OOÜTia IIA hüM niinnfn! n tk ana r tan at nn la snlfaV r n abl . ,.r 1-, i... i. i.ii.. t.. a i L , -- - r 1 can appreciate and applaud that course of ootdsot

which seeks, honorably, to preserve peace with all nations; bu. they will never consent, nor permit their rulers, to purchase peace by dishonor such dishonor, as this disgraceful submission of Mr. Fillmore has brought, or will bring upon the nation. We believ this very act will do more than anything else to kindle a flame of indigaation in the minds of the people of this country, which will plunge us into a war with Spain in spite of the efforts of the governments of both countries. Throwing overboard, as Mr. Fillmore has done, every consideratioo of American right and dignity submitting tamely to outrage and insult, and zealously pandering to the whims and caprices of the Cuban authorities, is not the best way to preserve peace and Mr. Fillmore will find it so. Peace, at such a price, is not worth preserving. We hope that the owners of the Crescent City will not remove Parser Smith, unless there be some better reason for it than the insolent demand of the Cuban Governor General, backed, although it be, by the craven submission of the Whig President; end that she will be sent to Havana until excluded by actual force. We shall then see whether the American people, as well as the administration, will tamely submit to conduct at once o injurious to our interests, and so insulting to every sentiment of American honor. Who does not thank God that we are approaching so near the close of the last Whig Administration? Agricultural Premiums. It will be seen by an advertisement in the special notice column, that the State Board of Agriculture offer valuable Premiums to any citizen of Indiana for each essay on " any subject connected with the Agricultural, Mechanical, or Manufacturing interests of the State " The Premiums offered are worth double the amount of the estimated price to any one interested in Agriculture er its kindred sciences. The State Board will hold its meetings next month, when the Legislature will be in session. The evenings will be devoted to the reading of these essays and to the discussion of Agricultural subjects. The interest in Agriculture is rapidly increasing in all parts of the State, and we hope that there may e m any competitors for the premiums offeredHon. William R. Ring. The rumor of the death of this distinguished statesman, now Vice President elect, is not credited. At the last accounts be was recovering his health, and had gone to Tuscaloosa to visit his brother. The rumor originated at Richmond, Virginia, no doubt with some mischievous person, for the purpose of prodnoing con

fusion in the electoral college. Accident and Loss of Life. A collision occurred on Wednesday night between two freight trairs on tho Bellefontaine Railroad, three miles north east cf this city. One of the bands, Thos. Barrett, w as ins'.r.ntly killed. Three others are dangerously wounded. Their names are O'Brien, Michael Cady, and Thomas Dunn. It is thought that two of the wounded wil; not recover. We nave no reliable informatioo as to the cause 0f the accident. - ,, , WT ..

We have ben requested by persons on the line of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, in tlm county, to call attention to the kind of eurreuoy which is being put in circulation by the Company or its agents.

We suppose tbe rad is to be built with that kind of trash, and that afterward th circulation will oo j tne way of the Whitewater currency. We bade law some lew years ago, which forbid, under heavy penalties, the circulation of such paper as thia trashy stuff but we believe it was repealed by the WhigLegislature in 1S45. It is to be hoped the Legislature bow in session will take this matter into consideration, and pass laws sufficiently stringent to banish thia "Pag 8c Bacon," and all other like stuff, from circulation among us. Colonization. The Legislature of Pennsylvania having appropriated $2,000 per annnm to facilitate the emigration of the fro people of color within the State, to the Republic of Liberia, the Synod at Pittsburgh has enjoined it upon all the churches under its oar to raise a collection for the same object, en or about the 4th of July. .

SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 4, 1952.

Now ia the Time to Subscribe for the Pnper. Congress meets on next Monday. The General Assembly of the State of Indiana assembles ea Thursday, the 6th day of January. The new administration of General Pieree will commence on the 4th of March next. Stirring timea ahead. Take the Sentinel, and you will know what is going on in the world. Advise your neighbors to go and do likewise. The Newspaper Press. Th laborer and the employer the mechanic and the capitalist the merchant and the man who lives on his J interest all acknowledge the power of the newspaper press, and consult its columns from day to day with increased seal. The influence of the newspaper is immense in this country, and no one who is a lover of rational liberty and a Republioan form of government, can wish it leaa. While the presa is free as now, tvrannv oi oppression can never overcome our national manhood, i The glory of this land, which ia irradiating the whole , . , eartu, cannot be dimmed. And yet few newspapers in J thia country can live and become etrong, without devoting a portion of their columns to advertiaemanU. The ! " . . , 1 rate of newspapers is so low among us, that the mere ' aubscription prico, without some other aid, will not sas- i tain them. The ablest, most permanent, and most in- j a . . ... . . , floantial paper, in thia country are those that are ena I bled, by yielding a portion of their columns to advertise-1 moots, to put a quota of the income from that aource on . . xt r a ... to th paper itaeif for its improv.ment-devoting that ( expense to it whioh ita mero aubscription price will not j iustifv. ' rp. . , i - . . r The writer's observation in this respect has been of r long continuance, and the fact has commended itself to him very many times in the last twenty years, in the rise and fall of newspapers.
