DANIEL McDONALD, Coroner. JACOB BARNES. Cotnmissior.pr 2nd Dist. ROBERT S. PIPER. Election. Next Tuesday tre are called upon by the law of the land, to devote a portion of the day at least, to the good of our common country. There seems to bo but little excrement, as yet, and it is to be hopd that the vmin election may pass off quietly. We hold it to be every man's duty to aitcnd elections, and Vote for the men of liia choice. Each party has held a con vcntion and nominated iis re?peerve candidate?, and they are now before the sovreijn? asking them for their 'ufTrage3. It trill be recollected that Mr. Vinnedge tras elected to the office of Treasurer and Collector the second time, at the last October election, he hai discharged the duties of the office two years, and the very flattering vote he received last fall, wai a sufficient endorsement of his official acts. Mr. Piper wss elected Commissioner for the second district, U?t fall, and has only served since the 20th of August last; he is a man of good mind, a farmer by occupation, li character irreproachable, and is a g.xid Commissioner. As there were doubts in the minds of many in reference to the election of these officers, the democratic convention nominated them again for the respective offees which they hold; and there isnc caestion in our mind, but tha people n,xt Tuesday will continue them in for the term for which they were elected. It is not reasonable to suppose that they iil be laid aside without committing any fault, to make room for new men who have no knowledge of the duties of the offices. All agree that they are justly entitled lo the offices the balance of the term, and their opponents, although good men, had as well mate up their minds to be satisfied with a small vote. The Democratic candidate for Recorder Daniel McD onald has been Deputy Recorder for the las; year, and so far as we have been able to learn, has given general satisfaction; id point of penmanship he will compare favorably with his opponent. Mr. Barnes, the democratic candidate for Coroner, is a farmer. It was thought most advisable to select a man from the country for this office. The office of Coroner has generally been regarded ä3 being of little consequence, but occasionally a very important case has to be attended to by The Coroner, and it was thought best to nominate a good, substantial man, one who would distance his conpetitor with case. In conclusion, we would remark that the success of the Democratic ticket is certain, if xre only do our duty; all that is necessary, is, for all to turn out and go to the election. It haprens many time9 that people have some little business which they think ought to be attended to, and that one voto would not change the final result, consequently they will not attend the election, and it sometimes happens that a ticket is defeated just in that way. We claim tobe pretty well posted in reference to the strength of the different candidates, and have no hesitancy in saying that if a fw leading Democrats in each township will be a little active in getting the Democrats to the polls, that eur ticket will be elected by a handsome majority. Failed! T The Huntington County Bank, and the Tippecanoe Bank, have suffered their bills to be protested. So says the " Locomo tive." The Illinois Banks are t a discount at Indianapolis, but as they are mostly secur ed by public stocks, the bill-holders would r.ot lose more than ten cents on the dollar, in case they should suspend. "We would ad vise our friends who chance to have bills n Banks which h.ive recently failed, not to be in a hurry to part with them; the greater portion of them, no doubt, will resume busiaess at no distant day. Pat vs. ILean. In the last two numbers of the AT. C. Republican th editor seems to exhibit a spirit of fault-finding. He says we are too foU " g-'rge( t0 'Jpletion." "Ban" Barchents " "is too lean." The editor's objections remind us of an aneedota we beard related by a Presbyterian minister, at a Temperance meeting in Ibis pUcs, eoaa yeara since. He remarkiJ. that in Pru where be lived, a member of a church jclied tha order of " Sons of

TenpnincV ad, aa : ma'.ter or course, drVEolor. Ha raawgned before th cbrivJi. and after due deliberation had, eicHied. Net lor j afterwards, an

other of the members became slightly in

toxicated from taking too much of the ardent ; the consequence was. he was excluded. One man was excluded .because he drank none at all ; the other, bvcruse he drank too much. The question then came up, how much a man should drink to entitle him to membership in that church ? Just so in our case. We are too fat. Dan is too lean, to suit Mr. Mattingly's notions of size and weight. The question now to be deciJed is, how much should a man weigh, in order not to be sneared at by the editor of the Iitjrullicon ? STThe RtiJiville Jai-ksonun ha3 waked up again, and is as sharp and spicy as ever Rabinson, Burns and Price, editors. The Democracy of Old Rush should extend to the Jacksonian a liberal patronage; they are generally wealthy, and it would be a burning shame if they were to withhold that support which the paper so justly merits. Having formerly resided is Rush Co., we regard the Jacksonian more like a letter from some of our old friends, than a uewspaper. jßTPartofthe description of the editor of the Republican, given by himself, in this week's paper: Cross-eyed, crank-sided, peaked and long razor-nosed, blue-mouthed, nigger-lip ed while-eyed, soft-headed long-eared, crane necked, blubber-lipped, squeaky-voiced empty-headed, snaggy-toothed, fihhymouihed, box-ankled, pigeon-toed, reelfooted, goggle-eyed, hammer-hearted, cathammed, hump-shouldered, bandy-shanked, splaw-footed, ignoble, black republiran abolition editor." He says he has a further description of himself of the same sort, "od ifßirlum." Let's have it. The truth and the matter willl be far more interesting to all of your readers than anything else you do, or cai write. JCSTThe time for entries in Class A. ol the Marshall Co Agricultural Society, is extended from the 3Jth ult., to the 10th inst., of which it is hoped all will take notice. During a short stay at Ft. Wayne on last Monday, we partook of the hospitalities of that "Prince of good fellows," Ed. Colerick, of the R. R. Eating House. Ed. has a good heait in the right place, and knows how to cater for the wants of the traveling public. He has the best the country affords, and is at all times ready and will. ing to render his house an agreeable place for all epicureans. We invite attention to the Card of J. F. Loorais, of Höchster. He has already gained an enviable reputation for doing good work, and with his new machinery and engine which he has lately purchased. he will eclipse all his former efforts. Sev eral of our citizens have already been pat ronizing his manufactury, by the purchase of Sash, Doors, dec, and we hope they will continue to do so. After working off our proof sheet, we received the "Republi'-an" for this week. The luven of puerility, nonsense, per sonalities and blackguardism, can have a complete surfeit by reading this week's number. Surely, the editor muet have had a peristaltic action, and after the reversed discharge, undertook to spell out the bad taste in his mouth. It is very seldom we condescend to notice him; and when we do, only by the shortest paragraph, it affects him so, he continues to relieve himself of those peculiar discharges for about three weeks. Unless he ceases to be eo seriously affected, vre shall have to give him a whole column of notices, which will so "addle" him, that he will never find time, paper or space enough to relieve himself. Verily, he and the supporters of his paper must have a rich feast he in writing, and they in r-'adiug this week's effusions, and he doubtless will sleep sweetly after it, conscious that he has sent forth new light to enlighten and amuse MEX(?) "The followinj card was handed us for publication, by Mrl Patterson. In regard to the announcement of his name as a candidate for the office of Treas urer, all we have to say is, that we done il precisely as he requested. In reference to D. Vinnedgc's name being placed in the Democratic Ticket, we would remark that we felt authorized and instructed so to do, by the following resolution which we extract from the pioceedings of the Conven tion, -which were handed to us for publication: Resolved, that in as much as D. Vinnedge," Esq.. our 'present Treasurer was nominated and elected list fall, by a majority that testified his full endorsement by the party as one worthy 1 of their confidence, and in as much a a construction of the law as it now stands may oust him of his office before the expiration of the term for which we chose him, therefore, being fully satisfied with our former action, we unanimously declare him now our choice as candidate for-Treasurer, and will do all we can honorably lo elect him. Injustice to Mr. Patterson, we would remark that be was probably under the impression that ho would have the .'field alone. - . . ITo the Voters of Uarshall County: It ii known to cany of you that my name lias been announced as a candidate for ihroGcc of Treasurer; tut, wit is

my intention not to make the rare, it is du to you, as well as myself, that I should make known some of the reasons why I decline being a candidate. AH who know me. cannot doubt my D.?mo:raryf an', my purpose at all times lo be governed by D t.mocratic usage ; hence you maybe surprised at the position I am made to occupy, by the Marshall County Democrat." It is also well known, that at our Convention, there was no nomination mad-j for that office. In view of that faci, I authorised the editor ( that pper to announce my name as a candidate for that office to

JU this vacancy on the ticket ; after which. for some cause, best known to the parties concerned, the vacancy was filled by the name of D. Vinnedge, as if regularly nominated! and the announcement of mv name, in a paragraph, showing that I was iu opposition to the regular ticket i position I had no intention of ocoupj-ing. and which I now decline. Had there been 'no foul ploy, my name would have been on the regular ticket, and D. Vinnedge not a candidate at all. WM. M. PATTERSON. The Present Attitude of the Topcka Party in Kansas. Gen. Jim Lane, says the Detroit Free Press, U the recognized leader of the Topeka party in Km3s. He has averted, in all hw recent speeches throughout the Territory, that even though the constitutional convention should adopt the Topek.i constitution word for word an 1 letter for letter, he would oppose it. And doubtless the whole Topcka party would oppose it. This opposition would not sir:?e from a determination not to recognize the established order of thinprs in Kan is. The Topckaite have recojvzed the established order of things by their resolution to rote at the coming election for delegate to Congress and members of the Territorial Legislature. They can no longer set up the pretcnee that thev owe no allegiance to the existing trovcrn ient. They have acknowledged submission to it in the most jirnificant manner. Thfir npjosit?on to the constitution, even though it misht be a tranerip-. of theTonrka inurnment itself, would risc from the motives h'nted at bv Mr. Calhoun in h;s speech on taking the chair of prvs'dinx officer of the Constitutional Convention. " I think,' said he, " the members this convention, ovH-lijh ave the honor to preside, ousht to give WJriir1d the assurance that thrir deliberations will result not merely n the settlement of difficulties here, but in the settlement of the question as to whether the Union shall continue, and as to whether thntpirtg teie if employing its treasures, its men and its resources, to keep this an open question till tie n'xt Presidential contest will stand or fall. If the Union stand, that

party poe by the bo.tr:h If that triumph, this wuh great central, lines connecting unporUnion cannot live." The motive, then, which j ant commercial points, il is a kind of oarnwould actuate Lane and his party in their opposition I yard enterprise, connecting one neighbor's to any constitution that might be formed would be J barn with another, .and then sweeping from to keep Kansas an open question until the next; no particular point to nowhere els.. A

Presidential struggle. . Lane is but the instrument of the northern black republican leaders. He ia but executing their bche?t3. He is but doing in Kinvts whit they are doing everywhere else, and what they will do at the next session of Congress. He 13 seeking to defeat the adjustment of the Kansas difficulties on any terms. If his and their object weie simply to make Kansas a free State, under a really acceptable constitution, in all respect., he and they woul 1 not proclaim hostility in advance to any constitution the convention may adopt. Thev would, on the other hand, stand ready to accept a fair constitution and vote for its adoption. It is essential, at this juncture, that the Topeka party in Kansas should be closely watched, for they certainly indicate the policy of the black republican party of the country. IVcgro Equality. The negroes of the city of New York have held a convention in which they justly complained of the failure of the Republicans of New York to further the great issue of negro suffrage negro equality.' The New York Tribune scolds them for their complaints, and bids thera be patient for a while. Negro equality 's right, and right will evenv ually prevail. That our readers miy know the exact position of the Republicans upon this point, n e quote the language of the Tribune itself. It says: " We have always been in favor of conceding to the Black or Yellow men all the political rights which are conceded to or exercised by White men. We believe in Equal Rights for All Men, and prove our faith bv our vote whenever we here an opportunity. Ve do not, a the Express mishkeu'v asserts, affirm " the intellectual equality of the Colored with the White man;" but we claim for ourselves, and of course concede to all otl.cr vdult hnman beings, political equality irrespective of any claim to intellectual superiority which miy be set no for or against us. We believe in the rights of Man as Man, and 'ive out our faith, even when it costs something lo be true to our convictions. . . The terms, Whig, Democrat, Quaker, Yankee, and hundreds like them, were originally applied in contempt or execration, while Libertine formerly ment a friend of Liberty ; wo sea how each of them is regarded now. So long as the term N'cgro (which means nothing more nor less than bl.ck) is shrunk from as implying degradation, so long we expect to be derided "and opposed bv ignorant and vulgar V hites for our advocacy of Equal suTnge, and so long sh U we painfully realize that suc'i advocacy is fruitless." Here is an express recognition of the right of negroes to political equality with the whita race; it is not only a recognition but a broad and sweeping assertion that negroes are unjustly deprived ofthat equality. The New York Tribune is consistent It proclaims boldly the Republican doctrine The Dred Scott decision declared that negroes were not and could not be made citizens of the Uni ted States. The Democratic party unanimously approve and endorse that decision. The Republicans as unanimously denounce that decision, and maintain that negroes are chizens of the United States. If negroes are citizens of the United States, they are unjustly denied the pohtcial rights and equality of citizens; and in maintaining, supporting and advocating negro equalitr the Republican party are but consistent!? carrying out their objections to the Dred Scott decision. They must advocate negro equality, of give the lie lo their objections to the Dred Scott decision. They mut support negro equality, or they are liable to the still more objec tionable rep-oach of denying to one class of citi zens, rights and privileges enjoyed by others. They wiU not of course admit that they make any distinc tion between 44 free male citizens twenty-one years of age and upwarda," and not admitting auch a distinction, they have to choose the other alterfia tive that frea sale negroes, twenty-one yeara of age, &c, are Justly entitled to vote, hold office and to enjoy all other privileges enjoyed by their white fellow 44 citizens.

la years past, lhere was a revuli.m m 1823, which carried terror in Ks course. There was a cash i:i 1837, to which the present derangement of h money market cannot be compared. And yet, with the causes and elects of thee two financial revolution' SL iiiii us in the face, we are upon the brink, yea. in the vortex of another, which threatens to enjulph the s'.ron4 as well as iho weak. Men 81-cra to improve by experience in all ihi but exiravaanee. The child will n.t approach tho Hre that has once burned it, and the grown up man keeps out of the .vay of the filling wall that has once crushed limb ; bnt in financial matters men seem oriy to recover from one disaster to be.rin to eurer upon another. Exrravaauce, speculaiun and over-trad ing, caused the rcvulsi n of 1823. and this same causes, ai Jed bv a fiiiure f the crops, produced that of 1837. Ami yet,-what have we been doin since ? Have we ben less extravagant, less speculative, or less ijien to overtrading than we were previ ous to the disastei 3 of 1823 ana those of 18.37? A glance at the condi.ion of our cities, our towns, the country, and the dain ' of our people, will tell the story of! our troubles in terras too plain to be mistaken. We have ben over-banking, over-bor-rowi ii, over-lendin ', over-tra lin overupending, over-living, over-eadng, overdi inking, over-dressing, and over-doing a 'housaud things that oiii;ht to have been under-done. Our eastern me chants have bought too many gooils in Europe. Our wns.ern merchanis have bought too muc;l) mercli MidiS'; fron the cas:cr:i. Our people have purchased ik many silks, an I sauins, and laees, and cloths, and j weis, and other goo.ls from ihe merchants, whether in ".he Eist or West, or North or JSouth. The was .em mMclnnt owes the European, the western, souihrn and north ern nieiciiaut owes the c istern ; the c uniry morcliant owes the city merchant, .and the people owes them all. A chain . f debt H ihus created, whih links eiary p )rtun oi me country vmui toe oi.ien wori.i. Iu aldi.i)ii to the dUaiers caused bv tr'e rtradijjg in merchandise, we have built too m my railroads. We have created a finable debt by our railroad en.'erprises. which is f ir beyond what it should be. Not that railroads are hurtful to the country, for, on the contrary, they are the substratum of our prosperity. But we have built them where they were not needed, and have not constructed them where they should be. Our railroad sys em is not national. Instead of being a nad x il system. .1 tt It fjw national roads engineered with si view tin commercial warns of the Uni jii, like thS3 of France, counecnnij Paris wi ll Havre, Calais, öiiasbur.;, Marseilles, Bordeaux and Nantes, would have cost mauy millions lss, and been of iniinitcly more value to. the country. The present barnyard sysiem f our railroa s brings the rountry 1:1 debt every year. The roads often run parallel with e:u:h oilier, in porno '8 ot the cou itry that oujht not to have but. one, if any, and the result is that many of them do not pay the expense of running. The consequence is that the country is drained of its specie every year to pay the interest on bonds negoiiated in Europe to construct these ro.' Is. We owe a debt of over 3ÜJ,OUü,ÜU0, created by railroads. which at six per cmt per annum, would require 18,Uü0,ÜÜ0 each vear. As a great portion of this debt is due to foreign countries, the gold and silver mus go from us each year to meet U. I he present crisis will wind up some of our railroads, j and it is to bi hoped that thoss that survive the shock will pay their way without the necessity of creating new bonded debts to keep them up. Besides our over trading in merchandise and over-building of railroads, we have dealt to extensively in wild-lands. We have built too many cities upon paper. We 1 have bought too many lots in fancy town.: We have erected too many tine houses and furnished them too extravagantly. YV have gone wild in everything t have touched. We haTe invested all the money we had, and then borrowed all we could get We have drained our own purse, tUat of our friend, that of our neighbors, the chest of the usurer, the drawer of the broker, and the vault of the bank. Money has flowed like w.vJer, and like water, too, it will now seek its level. Iu May 1837, the New York Herald spoke of the tims in language that wculd not be inapplicable to the present: 44 Everybody set up his coach the very clerks on Pearl street kept their horses and gigs. A universal passion seized all ranks to become richnoi by work, not by industry, not by frugality, but by operating in stocks, buying and selling" real estate, projecting towns, cutting out villages, or planting cotton and speculating in negroes. The mechanics formed trades-unions, paraded the streets, reeled around corners, frequented grog-shops.and ask'd for double wages. The banks formed similar secret unions to shave the community. Clergymen became infected with the disorder, and every clergyman's wife must have a new church or a new pair of breeches every sesond or third vear. In winter, balls, soirees, jams, parties at a thousand dollars each, followed with the rapidity of steam power. In summer, th sea-shore, Saratoga, "the Catskill Mountains, Niagara the whole country was overrun with silly men, silly women" and silly bandboxes. The railroad cars, the steamboats, the postcoaches, and all species of conveyance, were filled with both sexes, laughing, talking, flirting, kissing, sighing, and spending paper money. Tho most expensive habits were indulged in by all classes. The journeyman's wife mu9t have a parasol and a silk dress; the boss' wife a carriage and a pair of bloods, and the great traders and manufacturers filled their habitations with splendid bedsteads, $2,600 each, Napoleon work-stands 100 dollars each, and statues of Cle'opatraor Venus de Medici reclining in the most luxurious attitudes, or provoking the imagination with visions of bliss and heaven under a blue sky and a soft azure cloud. . : The present revul sion is a just and merited dispensation of

Battle of Honey - Gull Three persons Idled Flee Mortally WousvlrJ ! IIo!ihv-Gi11. a small settlement eenoc;i miles from our cry, in Glynn county, was 0:1 Tuesday morning last, about the hour of ten, the scene of one of the most deadly conflicts and bloody tragedies in the annals of a law-abiding and civilized communiiy. It appears that the neighborhood had for some yejwS been annoyed by band of thieves, whose practice it wis to live upon the farms and stock of the honest citizens of the vicinity. These thieves had successfully eluded the vigilance of the suflerers, and escaped the punishment pre scribed by the statute, until at last their condii'tt becoming intolerable; and theii depredations alarming to the community, it was determined, on the part of the good citizens around Honey-Gull, to remove them at all hazards, and without the aid ol the law. In pirsuance of this determination, a band of Regulator, (a term well understood in Florida, California, and sorai f the western States.) was organized some days ago, and on Friday last proceeded to noiify several parlies that their presence in the county could be no longer tolerated, 1 and that they must take themselves away by Tuesday (last Tuesday.) or submit to the law of force ; that on that day they must leave the county either peacefully or otherwise ; and that for their crops, stock, (fee, they should re ieivear. equivalent, and also have their passage paid on the steamer to any point to which they might wish to emigra. Among tho parties thus notified, there was a man by the name of Moses Hornsby. and hi? family wife, one grown son, Mike, and three small children Mose thought of the matter, and concluded not to go; but still told the It-gulators th?t he would go willingly. He played the old soldiron them, however, as the sequel will show. At the hour of ten, on Tuesday morning, fourteen of the Regulators appeared before Hornsby s door twelve of them wiih guns, and tw 1 unarmed. One of the two who was unarmed, Dr. Foreman, was made the spokesman to do the parleying wiih the Hornsbys. He advanced to within a few feet of the door and asked a neighboring woman (by the name of Holland, who happened to be there, or wa3 so by design, and who had also been uoätied to l;ave.) if Mr. Hornsby was at home. She replied, 44 Yes, he 's somewher about." At this instant a shot was fired from the house, through a rule and inartisiic porthole, at Foreman, missing his knee a few inches and striking his horse dead beneath him: another shot in quLk succession discharged a full load of buckshot in the lft breast of Mr. James Rumpt, one of the U"gn. atns. Mr. Rumpt, on being shot, wheeled, and crying out to his comrades to scatter, galloped olf a short distance an d fell dead. The firing continued rapidly, and with terrible fatality from the house for some seconds peihaps minutes. The party scattered as quickly , as possible, but left four more of their'uumbei on the tichi two by the name of Rvlclilf an eld gentleman and his son, the son mortally, and the old gentleman dangerously, il not mortally wounded; a Mr. May, son-in-law to Radclitf, dangerously wounded, and Mr Foreman with hi ankle fractured by the falling of his horse. Three horse were also shot down and killed. This was the effect of not exceeding nine t shots from the house. ' " In the midst of this firing, young Radclitf, a brave and determined spirit, fell. Satisfied that his wound was fatal, he determined to have some little revenge, and crawling to a stump rested his gun upon it and fired through the port-hole, emptying the content of one barrel in the face and breast of old Hornsby, giving him his quietus. Casting his eye to another part of the fortress, he perceived a human figure, at which he let blip the contents of the other barrel. This shot, it seems, took effect in the left side of Hornsby' wife and the hips of her infant, which she had in her arms. She wai killad instantly; the child may possibly recover. About the time these two shots were fired, Mike Hornsby appeared in the piazza and fired one barrel, and drew up to discharge the second, -when a Regulator, bj the name of Morgan, and vtho at thh 0

By a letter from Kansas we are informed that, on the 14;h of August last, at 2 p. x:., a cloud of a singular yellowish appearance arose in the north, near the village of Manhattan, and soon the storm bum upon the inhabitants. I. was neither rain, hail nor snow, butirrasshoppers, and i:i about ten minutes the ground was covered with them. They came in droves, and struck the houses like hail s'ones. Soon the ground was strewn wi;h corn-leaves and ears, some f which, two inches through. were eaten oil half their length, tome widi th huksand corn trimmed as with a knife, leaving the, bare cob st in. Ii. ig. Two and a hufaeresof buc kwheat, three acres of turnips, watermelons, and all vines upon which they fed, were ea'eu up. except those on the south side of a piece of millet. In fact, they cleared out every crop except sugar cane. There was a field ot sugar cane wi;hcirnon bolt sides of it: the corn was taken and the cane left.
