The terms appear in every number issjcl, and in addition, it is stated that th:y will be strictly adhered to, and when we do not expect to live up to them, we shall take them out and insert others.

scriber has just six months tu make up his mind whether he will pay 1 50 for a year's subscription, r 2 00, and if that is not sufficient time to think about the extra half, we do not suppose an extension of the time would mend the matter. When we enlarged the paper without a corresponding increase of price, we repeatedly informed our readers that it would he necessary to sltictly adhere to the terms os they are. This we shall certainly uo. and those who are so unreasonable as to think we do them injustice by adhereing to our published terms, have their remedy to pay their indebtedness and we will stop their papers.

The Detroit Dui!y Free Press arrives on the 2nd day af;er its publication, and the Indianapolis Dailies reach us the next day after their publication. The Lafayette Diily Journal generally gets here every way, when it gets here at all. Its meonderin;s, however, are acccouuted for by the manner in which it is conducted, and we don't care whether it gets here at all, or not. We have prompt daily mails in all the directions alluded to, and if the officers through whose hands our mail matter passes, woi.ld promptly handle it and keep it in its proper direction, we are confident the difficulty would be remedied. Canal Packets are now making regular trips on the Wabash and Erie Canal. So fir the tine is under the control of he same owners who controlled it last seasoil, but from the manifest disatisfaction then, w presume ther will be opposition. TIic Eastern Question. The antagonistic eastern powers who have been so long talking of war settlement of principle and preliminaries, and making ready for a muss generally, Mingo thiks must have gotten over their mad by this time, if they only knew it. Really, if Uncle Sjm gets it into his head that an insult is intended for him. ! or that it is necessary to give a neigh boring Nation his opinion about matters and things in general, it does not require two or three years to determine upon tht j course he will pursue. General Jackson's j "By the Eternal I'll take the responsibil ity." or General Taylor's "Come and take me,' are short forms recognUed by the American code. When sufficient time is had for the deliberation necessary upon . any subject, a fearless, frank and unwavering stand should be taken. Opposing parties thea know where to find eich other. TfCSrCSSicg. The work on the Cincinnati, Peru and Chicago Railroad :s progreasing finely. Seven and a half miles from this place north, is already cleared nd grubbed, and there is so little grading to do, that this makes it nearly ready for the timbers. Let this work be pushed through to Laporte immediately, nndi the business thai it would do between that place and this, would favorably compare with others which are now doing a flattering business. V T . T rr-1 e t u14 , w 7 . wie iiujjruuiiui vue i cuu:y ivanii oiaie Prison, discloses the very gratifying fact that of the large number of convicts new in the prison of that State, there is not a single printer, while nearly all the other occupations are represented. Some of our exchanges publish this as b fact honorable to the craft, and an evidence of the general good character of i

those engaged in it. when it is so manifest tha: many persons prefer starving them to death at an unthankful occupation, to sending them to the Penitentiary, where they could enjoy regular sleeping hoursat least, and express their opinions without subjecting themselves to insult by every bow-legged upstart in the land. Our Congressmen are now discussing ?ie propriety of increasing the mail facilities between tbe cities of New Orleans and San Francisco, and also creating itmi-monthly line instead of monthly, from New York to the Eldorado citri

Neighbor Colfax of the South Bend Register, speaks of the prosperity of our town anJ county as follows: "Few Counties in the State are prospering more than Marshall, and few towns more than Plymouth, its County seat. Its County paper feels this prosperity also, and widens its borders to make room for its constantly increasing patronage." An infant was recently found dead in

Another steamboat struck a snag a few miles above Natthes on the 26th ult. and sunk, and from twenty to twenty-five lives are reported lost. The steamboats and railroads are commencing their operations of 1834 with terrible destruction to property and human life. Engine and Machine Shops have lately been started at Evansville, which, the Journal siy?, are doing a heavy and profitibie business. The Richmond Enquirer says that W. II. Walthall, a well known merchant of that city, has been detected in forgeries to the atnou.it of several thousand dollars, and has gone to parts unknown. The New Albany Ledger was lately hoaxed in publishing a marriage notice, and supposes it wss done to injure the feelings or reputation of an amiable young lady. The Editor's opinion of such authors, is thus very justly and frankly expretsed: "We have he ard of creatures contemp tib'e enough to rrsort to such dirty tricks1 a3 this, but in all our editorial experience we have never before had the misfortune to come in contact w ith one. The pet l) thief is an honoiable character by the bide of such a thing." The reasons advanced by Gov. Seymour for his veto of the prohibitory liquor law lately passed by the New York Lgisla ture, are, first Because it authorizes unreasonable searches.- Second on c count of the forfeiture and destruction of property without first ging through a due process of luv. . An 1 finally op. the ground of its prohibition. It requires r two-thirds vote to pass the law over the veto. It is. not certain as to what will be the final disposition of the bill. The prohibitory liquor bill passed by the Senate cf Pennsylvania, has been defeated in the House, by a vote of 61 to 37 nearly two to one. We do not pre tpn(1 to . ,hjlt " . , , . . - nr.

Editor: It seem3 ihit I was a little mistaken in ref.-rnce to your corresnondnt "W ' as it resnects his arti cie beug a reply to my first one. his hav ing been written four months before mine; well I guess according that ther must have been so:ii mistake; but ' miitakp6 are not hay stacks," as aunt Jemima used to say. "and so we will just let that go for what it will fetch." Now for the balance. Mr. W. says I "evidently want to be noticed;" to be sure I do. How dos he expect a man is going to succeed in the great work of conducting public opinion in the right channel, without attention from the public. Mr. W. acknowledges my argument in part. Hear him on the question " ho is to blame?" "1st, the drunkard is to blame; I do not pretend to justify him in giving way to intemperate habits." But he undertakes to say in the second place. The liquor seller is to blame," but he has failed to give any reason aside from his own assertion. What! man enraged Iin laxrfül "Hing, and following it in a oo lavcful way, to blame? Sirauge indeed! Yes, and I have heard them say, after some one had died with delcrium iremcis, that the grocery keeper was to blame for it! Now I must sy in honesty, that if those engaged in tha retail of spirts, should continue to sell to a man whan they knew he was drinking too much, they would be to blame. Mr. W i .t.tll . . T i ... r says in me intra piace: "ine citizens ot a commonwealth cannot suffer drunkenness to prevail and spread at its present alarming rate, without incurring shame." Well, that is "coming down a peg;" it used to be guilt, now it is only shame. I suppose it would be rather a disgrace to find a community giren up to drunkenness. "Suppose then, that all laws tending to restrain the vicious were swept from our code." "That is not a supposable case," as the black fellow said: we do not steh to take from the statute book the restraints to theft, robbery, murder; or those that protect the quiet, peaceable citizen ia his social or religious rights; but when you begin to talk about "what we ill a 11 eat and what we shall drink, and whera-with-all we shall be clothed," that k mother matter.

The appeal of eloquence is made to sustain the point, by Mr. W. Hear him: Well here is the liquor traffic which rolls a deep flood of vice, and woe upon community." and says, "By the passage of a prohibitory law, this deadly fountain will be cut off." Yes, by a "prohihitory Zav;" words in every fanatic's mouth, a 'prohibitory law.'' Well, what will you prohibit from? You say

ardent spnits; hut this is only the start- j ing point to lake away our liberties, lib-; enif s for which our forefathers fought, ; Ud and died. The next step will be tobacco; perhaps then come lea and coflYr; i an-l by that time ready for a clean sweep; J (if the world don't coma to an end too soon) and some person to tell us what we shall do and what we shall not do. Now I do not 6ee but my first plea to "let them alone." wonld work first rat, if we would agree to carry it out, to a man, woman and child, and that would leav every man fkee. Eat Mr. W. says, "The young ore liable to be overcome by temptation." What was Solomon's plan? to pass a "prohibitory lav;?'' No. Train up a hild in the way he should g."

Conferep- held at Attica, Ind., on the 7lh of September, IS53. on the subject of temperance. Resolved, That we submit for publication in the Plymouth Banner the action of said Conference, together with the resolutions of this quarterly Conference. WM. GRAHAM, Prcst. - J. G. Osdorxe, See'y. Keport onTcmpcranrc After carefully examining the subject of Temperance, your committee are fully of the opinion, that in ordrr to a final victory over the " evil of intemperance, the manufacture, sale, and use of all intoxicating drinks as a beverage must be suppressed by the laws of the land. Therefore, 1. liesolred. That thn Maine Liquor Law. or one not less stringent, is the only law that in our opinion will supprr&s the unholy traffic in intoxicating drinks, and we hereby pledge ourselves to the effort of procuring the passage of such a law in Indiana. 2. Hesolvrd, That we will not vote for any man for the Legislature of our State, who buy?, sells, drinks manufactures, or advocates the use of intoxicating drinks s a beverage, (we knowing him to bs such;) and who is not pledged to the temperance cause, end we will recommend our people to do the same. 3. llest)l:ed That we regard it the duty of each member of the Conference, and we hereby obligate ourselves, to preach nd lecture on temperance as often as may be proper. 4. Resolved i That in the sense of this Conference, it is the duty of all minister uf the gospel to stand forth publicly the uncompromising opposcrs of intemprunce in all its forms; and in failing so to do, they tinder themselves unworthy of the stations which they occupy. 5. Resolved, That each Presiding Elder within the bounds of this Conference, is hereby requested to bring these resolutions before the Quarterly Conference of each charge within his district, and ask their hearty co-operation with their pastori in advancing the cause.

Home Journal. GIGGLE RS. Never smile, unless those who are with you comprehend the subject of your mirth. There are some families who render themselves extremely disagreeable by the hbit of continually looking at each other, and ftmiling at some little awkardness or mishap they may fancy they see. Suih are always detested, aud have few real friends. Those who visit them despise their meaniuss, and are constantly in dread of thtir ridicule. 'I never like to go to Mrs. M V said a lady. And why?" "Because you can hardly speak a word before you see indications of uurnannerly mirth. Perhaps they notice a pimple on your face a wry disposition of a bonnet ribbon, an unintentional tuck in your dress: everything sets them "snickering. ;' Such people go to church, sometimes, and in that sacred place indulge this silly propensity. If a child happens to cry, they giggle. If the minister unfortunately substitutes an inelegant word, they hide their faces under thtir scented cambrics, and titter. If an old, poorly dressed, tottering woman, one of God's very little on?s in angelic piety and childlike simplicity, comes creeping up the aisle, with shawl and bonnet of antediluvian make, with head shaking with age and limbs bending beneath their weight, they touch each other on their "patent toe, and simpering, whisper about "Noah's ark," aud then shru their shoulders laughing as if they had done a ver) pretty thing. Shame on such social misdemeanors. Match these simpering simpletons with coats, and hats, and canes, and mustschtd creatures in them called men; what a race of fools would be the consequence! The world is degenerate enough. Heaven knows, without the aid of these simpering gigglers; but you meet them everywhere. On the crowded thoroughfare, in the crowded omnibus, whore perhaps some poor daughter of Erin, with tier healthy, honpst, breadth of face, affords them food for mirth; in the steam car, passing their insipid judgment upon one who swings a cane not a la mode, or wears a veil on the wrong side of the bonnet. It is easy to see that they think themselves irresistible well is it for their1 vanity that they have a good opinion of their merits, for nobody else has. Olive Uranch. CONNECTICUT ELECTION. Hahtfobd. April 4. The returns received thus far show the election of 15 whig senators. 2 democrats and 4 to hear from; 87 whig and 41 democratic representatives; G whig and 2dtm ocratic sheriffs. It is impossible to give in estimate of tht populir vote.

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIcT New York, Apdil 4. The steamer Baltic arrived at 4 P. M., having left Liverpool on Thursday March 23d. She arrived out on the 19tk, having been two days in an ice field, which took her 300 miles to the south and west. The first division of French troops had sailed from Marseilles, for Turkey. The French loan was all liken up. Jjiron Tupffcl had made a communication to th Prussian Chambt-rs. insisting on Prussian neutrality, Austria givt no further indication of her policy; siili, apparently sh is with the western powers. Up to M-irch 10th Russia had not recognized Sweedm's neutrality. It was reported that the export of gold from Russia is prohibited. Palis correspond? nts say that the Czar's refusal was telegraphed from Berlin on the ISth to the French government, and th.it se soon as it was known, the British minister sent notification of the fact, overland, to Sir Charles Napier. Napier arrived in a steam frigate at Copenhagen on the 20th. The Austerlitz. of 100 guns, and thre other ships, have sailed for Butrice to join the English fleet. The final refusal of the Czir was hourly expected. It was already known that he. refused; and when the official refusal arrived, it would be communicated to both houses, and war be formally dechred. The allied fleets remiined at Beycos Ciy, but would soon enter the Black sea. No engagement is reported by land or sea. On the Dmube, positions werr. unchanged. A rum'ir of the capture of a Russian treasure convoy at Cuzas, hail reached Constantinople. The Greek insurrection is settled. A Paris correspondent suys that 3.000 British troops were to pass thro France to embark at Toulon, and the first detHchvn.'nt was expected in Paris in ten lays. Lord Plgin was expected in Paris April 1st. The publication of the Secretary's correspondence had increased the good feeling in France toward England. Russia continues to urge Prussia to preserve continued neutrality. Pitovis'oss. Mcllenry reports imports of Bjcon increasing, and stock accumulating. Beef in more request. Pork more saleable, but not dearer. Lard in active. Tallow, lighter business. Money tighter. The large export of gold continues. After official hours, con sols for money 83jS 4, and for account SUjSOJ. An impression prevails that the Bauk of England intends to advance the rate of interest, but the committee reported without resolving on anything

I definite. , The Globe says the Turkish loan of two million pounds was taken to day by the Rothchilds at 81, the stock to be reimbursed at 'iar in fifteen vears from the date of issue. It pays nearly nine, per cent oa these terms. New Yock. April 4. The steamer Ernpir City, from Havana the 29lh. arrived this morning. Ihe U. S. steamer Princeton arrived at Havana on tin 2'Jth. Much inconvenience hid beeen felt on the island from drought. Several sugar plantations had ben des t roved by fire, the dry cane igniting in several cases from sparks issuing from railroad locomotives. The U. S. sloop of war Albany, and steamers Fulton and Princeton, were at Havana; all well. . Ccntous Calculation. A writer in the Boston Journal makes the following curious calculations: The enormous sum of 204.000.000 in gold has been received at the Mint in Philadelphia, from California, from th first discovery of the preceious metal, to December 1, 18-J-3. Now to give some idea to the gnral reader of the immense amount of .204, 000,000, I will merely slate that allowing each silver dollar to weigh one ounce avoirdupois, sixteen to the pound, the weight would be 12.750.000 lbs., or 0.273 tons, allowing 2.000 to the ton. To carry this weight, it would require G.37Ö wagons, containing a ton each, vehicle drawn by one horse, to occupy a space of twenty-fne feet, they would extend in a continuous line a fract'on over thirty miles. In order to count such a vast sum of money as this, very few persons have any idea of the time, it would require, without making a calculation to that effect. Having myself asked some individuals familiar with figures, how long it would tike to count the sum above mentioned. they have so widely differed in time, that one could scarcely repress a smile at ihr result. Now, to ascertain the fact, which may be made as clear as B C, we will suppose a person to count 50 of these silver dollars a minute, 3, G00 an hour. or 43,200 a day of 12 hours each, or (Sundays included) 15.7CS.000 a year. 1 say. to count this stupendous amount of money in silver dollars, would require a fraction short of 13 years. The following extract of a discourse delivered by Prof. Hannibal, is decidtdly rich: Feiler Trablers Ef I had a bin eaten dlried apples for a waek, and den took to drinkin for a monf, I couldn't feel more swelled up dan I am dirt minit wid pride and wanity at siein such full tendance her dis tbeniti; and when 1 deflec dat it am rile in de white waihin sealing, when de bruddern am seen a gwian round de streets lookin like ole Gypshun mummies presarved in lime; an de sisters am up to dar ankles in de scrubbin time, my heart yarns toward you. like apiece of Ingin rnYihpronm ni m ht tab. an I feels dat i i ui, ... m;Vc.; .n dat nnihinr .... r r,. ..-,;,.,. hut on am ,is J5 Mme lg lodder." . I , . , , Preperationi for War. Preparations for war continue to be mode in England with great activity Ten gun-brigs were to be immediately commissioned to guard the enstern nnd northeastern coast of the island from prirateers. A battery is being constructed on the Mersey, to defend the approaches at Liverpool. It will mount fourteen 63 pounders. Another increase of 12,000

men is to be made to the army. Fifteen captains are to be promoted to inajorites, fifty lieuteiäntsto companies, fifty ensigns to lieutenancies, leaving of course fitly commissions to be filled up. Orders have been issueJ for the instant return of several regiments and oCa large portion of the artillery now in the colonies. School Books Asu the State Board. The sthool law of Indiana creates a State Board of Education, and by section teventy-sevf n of the law, this Board is required to recommend a lis: of prim.iry Sthool Books, for adoption in the common schools of the entire State, thus securing uniformity, and freedom from the constant and expensive changes brought about by travelling agents, who cvnsult their publisher's interests rather than the educational interests of Indiana. The action of the Board has been looked for with Some anxiety. They have it last published their decision, and have recommended a strong list of books, well worthy of permanent adoption. They are sold at low prices, and it is to bp hoped that the school ofmers in each township throughout the State, will see that they are immediately brought into ue. Professor Lirrabee has. in this matter, exercised a sound judgment, and evinced an earnest desire to advance the education! interests of the whole State, without fivor or neglect to. any particular section. Let, then, the educational influence of the whole State sustain this excellent and economical list of books, and having introduced them, retain them permanently. Richmond Palladium.
