One of the principal causes of the present deplorable condition of our finances, is justly attributed to tho extravagant specu lations at the West. These speculations are universally attended with a feverish ex citcment, which rapidly communicates it self among the people, and induces an im -! moderr.te emigration into a country whose resources are yet undeveloped; and which nn oniy be developed at the expense of lim. Tho effect of this state of things has ever ueen to impoverish, perplex, and produce not alittlo suffering among those who have yielded to this unhealthy fever. One would imagine the people would begin to learn wisdorajand, instead of seeing wealth and prosperity only in some distant and uninhabited territory, would find t narer homo in the abundance of fertile laud which everywhere surrounds us. In this respect our county 13 worthy of favorable notice. Wo have thousands of aere3 of the best quality of tillable land, covered with tho fu.est timber, and supplied with an abundance of good water, which may be purchased at lowrales, and rapidly converted fnto excellent farms. Wc can safely say to the overcrowded districts of the East, that our county offers superior inducements to emigration. Tho development of its resources is still m the inception, and it only needs the people, with industrial and enterprising habits, to make it one of the mo3t populous and wealthy counties in the State. Theso inducements, too, are offered where are tobe had all the advantages of an old settled country, and at the very door of good markets. The greater proportion of our wild lands are owned by speculators, and, as speculation at the piescnt is at rather low ebb, and, in fact, it has njver been extravagant in our county, there is every facility Sot those, who desiro it, to procure comfortable homes. We have a county 21 miles square; the county seat, located near the center of the county, contains about 2,000 inhabitants, with everr prospect of fuluro important growth. It has, al present, nine dry goods, three clothing, two hardware, three drug, two jewelry, and any number of grocery stores, four steam saw-mills, one steam, sind one water llouiing mill, a foundry and furnace; and a brewery for the special benefit of the friends of Fadcrlani. Our Rail Road facilities give us egress to markets east and west. Tho Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago R. R. to the east, svhose appointments and facilities for business are equal, if not superior to any line -now open to the west; r.nd the Cincinnati, Peru & Chicago, to the west, give us all -re could "sk for in the important matter of Rail Road communication. One of the chief items of our trade is lumber, which finds a ready, cash market in the great "prairie State" adjoining us. There is, within the county, over twenty steam saw-mills, which are doing a large business, r.nd room and timber for more. Thia department of trade, so lately developed, cannot fail to bring in considerable wealth to our countr. . We would not omit to mention that there are several small villages springing up in various parts of the county, with Ug expectations. .Jn this sketch vre have only aimed at a brief statement of some of the resources of our courty. We have not varnished it iup with any of the highly colored embellishments that belong in general to western descriptions, but given a plain statement xf faetsj and we confidently belifeve that if many of those from tho east, seeking homes ;ia our .western territories, would consult Aheir best interests, they could find Mareball county offering superior advantages to a settlement: and with that spirit of en .terprise and energy which belongs, in general, Ho the Eastern people, we might soon expect to pee our waste places made glad, and our wilderness to bloom and blossom

JSSrWe aro just i receipt of Gov. I

Wise's real letter to tho mrws convention ! 1 of tlie Democracy, held at Philadelphia on ' t. , . the Cth ,nst. Its great length U1ll prevent our publishing it, but we sincerely wish it was in the hands of every person to read, and digest. The Philadelphia Press says of! it: The lefcr of Gov. Wise is singularly j apposite and fearless. It calmly and convincingly analyses and discusses the Pres-! ident's message. Never before, in the history of politics, was there a mora complete argument. It will occasion a deep sensation in every part of the Union. The men who tell us that we are going against tho Democratic party mast look these demonstrations in the face. It is vain to attempt to rail down the public sentiment on this subject. "It icUl not down." It 13 covered all over with the impenetrable rrmor of truth. It speaks through a million of tongue. It radiates from every household in tho North, rnd palpitates in every honest man's breast. It is invincible against threats, and will prevail, though all the powers of earth be arrayed against it. Never before have our people been so terribly in earnest. Never before have tho Democracy occupied a prouder or more conquering position. Let those who doubt it be warned in time. Rou?h and Readv Sermon, Io. 1. ET TflE PRAIRIE PREACHER. Text: "Judge not, that ye bo not judged," ic. Mr Beloved Hearers: The words selected for our text on this occasion, are of divine origin, and when first uttered by him, 'who spake as never man spake,' and what may seem to you more wonderful and rare, (living as you do, in modern times,) ho practiced what ho preached. The words of our text, it is supposed by some writers, were uttered upon an occasion, when he was addressing himself to an audienco that had become addicted to the pernicious habit of scandal, cr to be more plain, he was addressing a crowd of scandal mongers, cs your humble speaker will now in imitation of his master, endeavor to do, with your permission. Don't start, my dear brother Brown, to leave the house, until I whisper a word in your ear. 0"ly yesterday I heard you nd neighbor Smith, haulin? neighbor Jones 'over tlie coals, (behind his back of course.) Mi. Jones was not doing just as ho ought to do. Ah, brother Smith, Jones h falling off from grace; wouldn't sign anything for tho support of tho gospel in the Fegee Islands, or christianize Japan, because he thought it required his support nearer home. Would't give a cent tow-' ards furnishing the pulpit with a mahogany sofa and fifty dollar bible, and offered a; an excuse, that tho money was needed and would do more christian service among the poor of the Parish, just ns tho brother Smith, the Lord wouldn't look out and provide for them without any of our help. And to cap all, brother Smith, Jones has refused to allow his wife and daughter to attend the meetings of the sewing so ciety, because, he says, more timo is spent there in idle gossip, than in works of phiIan throphy. Brother Smith, it is a shame to tolerate such a man as Jones, in good society like ours, ard I, for one, go in for expellng him from the church. Hold on, brother Brown, and let us see how it stands with you, sir, before brother Jones is sunk into shades of oblivion and banished from respectable society by your dreadful judgment upon him. Was it not you , sir who drove that poor orphan shivering from your door, when she had applied for a brief sheltet from the inclemency of the weather, and a morsel of your food to keep her from starving! Because an act of charity to her, would not bo known among your neighbors, or lauded from the pres3. : Was it not you sir, who . turned -that poor widow with her six helpless children into the street! leaving them without a roof to shlter them from the wintry blasts, be cause sickness had prevented her from paying her rent to you, which you intended to send to China to convert John Chi naman from the error of. his ways and lu3 heathenish appetite for rats and puppies. Oh ye vile hypocrite! Think you not that widow's curse, that poor orphan's prayer is registered in Heaven against you? Begone! Clothe yourself in sack-cloth and ashes! oit down low in the dust of humility, until you, learn that he who notes the sparrows fall, will harken - to the widows and orphans cry. ' How is it with you, ray sisters? , Are not your lips tainted with the vile loathtome poison of scandal? Does it not wind its slimy coils into every, circle in whnh you meet, watching for its prey? and when by chance, some poor helpless victim, comes within its reach, does it not eager ly dart upon its prize, and crush it within its withering, foul embrace? Yes; and haw. eager you are to enjoy the scene, and

glut your morbid appetite for blander on

even one who may unfortunately over step the bounds you have set for moral . characters. How closely you draw the coils around them, and with ail the malicious ferocity of the spider, pour your venom" into the bleeding wound of your victim, Y ith spirit moro barbarous than that of the untutored savage, you show no mer cv. Do you imagine your own walk in life will stand the test to which the great judge of the U uirerse will put it? Are you more righteous than the master whom ycu profess to serve? Did he not cat with the publicans and sinners? Did not he even pray lor his enemies and for those who railed on him? Go to your bible if you possess the sacred treasure, and if not, borrow it from tho neighbor you would slander, ana then rend, that when they of old were about to stotib tho vornan who had ainnr d, . tho author of our text put them all to flight, by requesting he who was guiltless to cast the first stone. Can you cast that stone, my hearers, or is your house built of glass?' If so, I wo' I say to you, 'Judge not that ye be not judged,' for with whatever judgment you judge, the same shall be judged of you agaiu, but may we all so live as to gain the approbation of the great judge at the judgm3nt dav. So mote it b . The Committee or Fifteen. Lecompton is virtually dead in Congress Tho fifteen Committeeman to which Kansas affairs have been referred will make such an expose of tho matter that many of those who before would have given it their sanction, will enter their solemn protest against it. Thi3, the fiiends of Lecompton feared, and the vote on the Harris motion, to appoint a Committee, was a test vote, showing thereby the exact strength of the respective parties in the House. Yeas, 1 1 0 nays, 111. We clip the following from tie Chicago Times. Yesterday Mr. Speaker Orr announced tho select Committee on the Lecompton Constitution. Wo have classed tho persons named by him according to tho manner in which they voted on Harris resolution. Akti-lecomptox. Harris of 111. Dem. Morrel, Vt., Rep.: Wade, Ohio, Rep.: Bennett, N. Y.

The following is the resolution of instructions: That tho message of the Pre6ident, concerning the 'Constitution framed at Lecompton, in tho Territory of Kansas, by a convention of Delegates thereof, and the papers accompanying tho same, bo refer red to a select committee of utteen to be appointed by the Speaker That said committee be instructed to in quire into all the facts connected with the formation of said Constitution, and lavs, if anv, under which the same was originated and whether such laws have been com plied with and followed.

Philadelphia. Feb. 8. The nni Lecompton Democrats held a meeting at the National Hall this evening which was much crowded. John W. Forney presiding. Resolutions were adopted, the most important of which are as follows: Resolved, That as ihn Democratic party of Pennsylvania in the late Presidential contest plighted its iaith to the people of this Stato and the country, that the ci.iz;ris of Kansas and all other Ten itorws of the Union should decide fur themselves the character of their own institutions, and as this sacred pledge had the willing sanction and ardent approbation of Mr. Buch anan, and was repeatedly leiterated in our! citvanu ctate by fcecretaries Loot) and i Floyd, Postmaster General Brown andj others, during the memorable campaign, it j would bi both unmanly and disgraceful m us, as Democrats, to violate ä promise eo sacredly given upon the infeasiblo ground of expediency alone. Resolved, That we cling with unabated zeal to .he confidence which we have long reposed in James Buchanan, President of the United States, and that we approve and support every part of his policy thus far developed, excepting that in reference to Kansas, from winch wo respectfully but f redly dissent. Resolved, That tho Democratic party of this gratcity has always been distinguished for its devotion to the lights of States, including those of the South, and that in contending for the principle embodied in the Kansas-Nebraska act, and for the fulfilment of our pledge in 1056, we claim to bo supporting tho true interests of the South, and as taking tho onlv consistent crourso with our obligations as members of tho National Democratic party. Mr. Forney made a brilliant speech - on taking the chair. Mr. Stanton delivered a Ion? and eloquent speech. Mr. Walker was not present, as he was unable to reach the city iu time. Letters were read from Governor Wise, Judo Douglas, Hon.Wra. Montgomery and others. The follow in 2f from Governor Walker was read at tho meeting: IIodoken, New Jersey, Feb., 0. 1853. Deau Sm: In consequence of my ab sence from New York, 1 only heard a few moments since, that Monday the Cih of this month, was fixed as the day of the meeting at Philadelphia, of that portion of! her indomitable Democracy opposed to forcing the the Lecompton Constitution on tho people of Kansas, I supposed it was later. My engagements at New York aro so imperative as to prevent my absence from the city, but my whole heart will be with you on the present occasion. As a native of the glorious Ivevstone State, as a giaduate of her noble old Uni versity at Philadelphia, where have been spent so many happy da3 of my youth and manhood, I look to this great meeting with the deepest interest. In your citv stands the Hall of Independence, and there, on the 4th of July, 177C, was first promul gated the great truth, that all free govern ment is based upon "the consent oj the governed. Let this truth bo inscribed on your banners and written en your hearts. Let it be proclaimed by you that this great principle shall neither be evaded by techideal quibble, nor subverted by frauds anu forgeries. The real question is this Is tho Le-j compton Constitution founded on the consent of the people of Kansas? You know it is not, and therefore any act of Congress adopting this Constitution, is not admitting a State on the request of her peoplw into the Union, in accordance with the language of tho Federal compact, but forcing a State into the Union against her. will. Such an act would be a clear violation of the Constitution of the United States, ol State and popular sovereignty, of Kansas and Nebraska bill, and of the fundamental principles of free government. May the noble Democracy of Philadelphia unfurl to the breeze tho banner of self-government and under its folds, as one of the native sons of Pennsylvania, I will march with you in the ranks lo the rescue of the liberties of o jr country, ' Yours, truly. j. . , R. J. WALKER. Tvrö ill eil Shot. . Indianapolis, Feb. 15.

ILatcr from Kansas. St. Louis, Feb. 9. The Lecomplon correspondent of the Democrat says the bill providing for the Constitution has passed the Kansas Legislature. Let'ers from Lawrence in the Leavenworth papers contains accounts uf the proceedings of the Board of Commissioners to investigate tho election frauds. McLean, chief clerk in the Surveyor General's office, testified to having sent returns of both elections to Platte City at Calhoun's request; that he had not seen them since;

that the Delaware Crossmtr returns had uevr been received at Lecompton. This wW doubted, and Sheriff Walker was dispatched to Lecompton to search Calhwun s olnce Ife found buried m the i ground under a wood pile, the identical rcturns which McLean swore to having sent to Platte City. Governor Denver, tho Speaker of the House and tho President of the Senate, examined him, and he sworo to the samt. The returns which Calhoun counted on the 1 Ith ult., and the Delawaie Crossing returns ara also among them, footing up M io vote. Previous to this Dietendorf testified to having given the Delaware Crossing returns to Calhoun at Weston, subsequent to the fount at Lecompton. Writs have been issued for McLean and Mr. Wood, who have fled to escape arrest. Gftn. Harney and Capts. Plesant and Barnel arrived here to night. iteTThe Schenectady (N. X.) Reflector is resposible for the following: Quite a mistake lately occurred in a love affair at Duanesbunj. A couple of vounir ones agreed to elopo together, and by some mistake in tho preliminary arrangements, the gentleman put his ladder up to the window of the room next to the one where his sweetheart 6lept, which proved to be that in which her anxious mamma, a handsomo widow, leposed. She turned the mistake to her own advantage, got into hi arms, returned his affectionate embraces, was hoi no by him to the carriage, and preserving becoming silence until daylight, kept him blind of his error; and by the potent power of her blandishments, actually charmed him into matrmony with herself. We give these facts on the nuthoriety of a responsible correspondent. Fire. , Kalamazo, Mich., Feb. 12. The main part of the Michigan Slate Insane Asylum wa3 destroyed bv fire last mm night at half-past:elcven, together with several sets of carpenter's tools ard f me lumber.

PROSPECTUS OF TMS INDIANA STATE SENTINEL. orjre The intention of the proprietors of the Sentinel to make it in all respects a newspaper worthy the support of the Democracy of Indian:).' And in the proportion its circulation is increased and its advertising patronage enlarged will be our ability to add to its interest. Having no local agents, we depend entirely upon the efforts of our political fiiends to extend its circulation. In no cheaper or more effectual way can political intelligence be circulated, zeal excited and party organization preserved, than through the medium of the press.All, then, who arc desirous of the .Democratic principles and policy, can serve the cause in no better than in cxtendtng the circulation of the political organs of the party. The year, upon which we have ente -ed, will doubtless be one of important events. Upon all matters of public interest we shall give full and reliable intelligence. An important State election occurs next October. A nw Legislature, members of Congress, Supreme Judg s, and most of the State officers are tobe elected. It is only by sleepless vigilance and untiring ffurt that we can xpect to maintain he eupremacv of the Democratic party. It behooves eery brraocrat, then, to inform himself upon the issues of the day hich it will be the object of the cx iiu'nel f .thfti'ly to present, and thus be' prepared for the coulik t.' The Sentinel will be governed in its political course by the authoritatively expressed sentiments of the party. The printnplo and policy it promulgates it will be cur im to advocate and df-feud, believing that upon the integrity of the Democratic party rest the preservation of our unecji vied Government. It will represent the Democratic party of Indiana ; nut cliques, faction or. men.
