LANE, OF DEARBORN COL" NTT. TOR. CONGRESS, SECOND DISTRICT, CYRUS L. DUNHAM, OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. ----->We have not heard of a single case or death from cholera to-day. ----- ODD FELLOWS' EXCURSION.—The Odd Fellows of Indianapolis intend having a celebration and procession on Thursday next, the 12th inst. Dy reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that the Bladison and Indianapolis Ftailroad Company have made preparation to convey out and back all those who may wish to participate. The cars will leave Rladiton precisely at 7 o'clock, A. M. ----- LADY FRANKLIN.— The Boston correspondent of the Washington Republic, speaking of the .effort which is being made in Boston to raise by private subscription an amount sufficient for the fitting out of an expedition to search for Sir John Franklin, says: "Lady Franklin writes to the British Consul here, as if she supposed it a settled thing that our government was to aid in the search; and expresses her gratitude in warm terms for their humane co-operation." Lady Franklin has, doubtless, expressed similar sentiments to John M. Clayton. We should like to see the reply of the blundering Secretary, in which he must acknowledge that, when he promised the aid of the United States he did not know what he was doing. ----- COLLECTION OF PETER'S PENCE.— At New York on Sunday week, large sums were collected at the various Catholic churches, in aid of the Pope. The Tribune says that "At St. Peter's Church, Barclay street, the handsome sum of $750 was received ; at St. James' Church, James 6treet, over $500 were taken; and the sums at all the other Chuiches were proportionably large;" and adds: 'Supposing all the Roman Catholic Churches of New Yoik, Jersey City, Wilhamsburgh, and Brooklyn tobe twenty-five (and that is about the number), and the receipts to average about $250 at each, the total realized would be about $6,200. Multiply this by the United States, and at the least ten times six, that is, $60,000, will have been received." ----- ----->The oldest Senator m Congress is Mr. William R. King of Alabama; and the Senator longest in Congress is Col. Benton, of Missouri. At one time Col. Benton was toasted as the "Father of the Senate." lie denied the "soft impeachment," and transferred the honor to Col. King, as anterior in service, and entitled to the soubriquet of "Father of the Senate.'' "But," continued Col. Benton, "I regret to add thai my friend a hopeless old bachelor as he is is father of nothing else." ----- ----->Gen. Harney has arrived at San Antonio, Texas, under orders to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Major Gen. Worth, late in command of the 8th Department U. S. troops. ----- THE GREAT CARAVAN.—The St. Louis Reveille says that the whole number of wagons on the routes across the Plains to California, will make a train fifty-five miles in length; and estimates the number of men now on their way to California, by this route, at 36,000. ----- ----->The Lafayette Journal says that great portions of the wheat crop in that neighborhood has been destroyed with the rust. Some fields are not worth cutting, and others are so much damaged as to yield but the third of a crop. ----- ----->Mr. Stanfield made a speech at Huntington, a few days ago. The Age says that only thirteen Whigs went to hear him, and two of them slept. ----- ----->It is rumored at Washington, that Senator Benton's youngest daughter will soon bs married to Signor Sanchez, a young Mexican. ----- ----->On the 6th of June a fall of snow recurred about fourteen miles from Manchester, England. The hay-stacks were capped with snow.

CrGol. Eenton is still engaged in addressing the people of Missouri on the slavery question. In all those places where he has made speeches, resolutions in his favor have been passed by large majorities. At a meeting in Jefferson county, instigated by Col. B.'s opponents, resolutions denouncing him were voted down, and some others in his favor adopted. A meeting held at Chouteau's Springs resulted in a similar manner. Tins Nine Holes. It has been moved and seconded that the Democracy of Indiana elect nine members of Congress to the Whigs' one. All in favor of getting into the nine holes will say "Ay:" Colt's Pistols. One hundred men are employed in maning these instruments at Hartford, Conn. They turn out one hundred and twenty a week, and the demand is almost as many for each day. Oj-The resolution to restore Thomas W. Dorr to his civil and political rights, which passed the Rhode Island House of Representatives, has failed in the Senate. A Contrast. "If elected, I would endeavor to act independent of party domination. I should feel bound to administer the government untrarameled by party schemes." Gen. Taylor's First Allison Letter. "It waa the remark of a Roman Consul, in an early period of that celebrated republic, that a most striking contrast was observable in the con duct of candidates for offices of power and trust, before and after obtaining them. However much the world may have improved in the lapse of upwards of two thousand years, since the remark was made by the virtuous and indignant Roman, I fear that a strict examination of the annals of some of the modern elective governments would develop similar instances of violated confidence." Gen. Harrison.

Restraint on Marriags. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania have recently made a decision reversing one made in the Court below, In which the question of restraint on marriage was involved. The facts of the case are thus briefly stated in a letter to the Philadelphia News: Some time since, a gentleman died and left his estate to his "dear and loving wife" on condition that she would "never again marry." Thinking it not "good to live a lone tcidder." she appealed to the Court the Hon. Ellis Lewis presiding to "help her out of the scrape." His Honor, to his infinite credit, and her great satisfaction, declared the will invalid and contrary "to the laws of nature and of nations," and in a most eloquent and philosophical "opinion," spoke as follows: "Marriage is a wise regulation in harmony with nature and religion, and is the only efficient preventive of licentiousness. "It is the appropriate regulation of that great instinct of nature which waa designed by the Creator to replenish the earth. "The principle of re-production stands next in importance to its elder born co-relative, self-preservation, and is equally a fundamental law of existence. It is the blessing which tempered with mercy the expulsion from Paradise. It was impressed upon the human creation by a benificent Providence to multiply the images of himself, and thus to promote his own glory and the happiness of his creatures. Not man alone but the whole animal and vegetable kingdom, are under an imperious necessity to obey its mandate. From the lord of the forest to the monster of the deep from the subtlety of the serpent to the in nocence of the dove from the elastic embrace of the mountain kalmia to the descending fructification of the lilly of the plain, all nature bows submissively to this primeval law. Even the flowers which perfume the air with their fra grance and decorate the forests and fields with their hues, are but "curtains to the nuptial bed." Had the matter rested here, everything would have gone on "merrily as a marriage bell," but, alas! it was "carried" to the Supreme Court, and there the "widow's joy was turned into mournng" by his honor, Judge Gibson, who, most unpoetically declaring Judge Lewis to have imbibed wrong but beautiful notions upon the subject, reversed his decision in the following "sledge hammer" style. "I know of no policy on which snch point could be rested, except the policy which, for the sake of a division of labor, would make one man maintain the children begotton by another. It would be extremely difficult to say why a husband should not leave a homestead to his wife without beiDg compelled to let her share it with a successor to his bed, and to use it as a nest to hatch a brood cf strangers to his blood." The day is coming when persons who hold offices under the General Government can hold whatever political opinions they please, without rendering themselves subject to dismissal. Boston Atlas, (Whig) July, '43. About what time do you think it will get here, Mr. Atias? Boston Post, Circvmstancxs Alter Cases. A young man, named Swift, convicted at Boston of assaulting another who defamed his mother's character, was left off by the judge with only one cent fine, without costs.

SPEECH OF MR. WRIGHT. We had the pleasure on Saturday, In common with a large audience cf our fellow citizens, of listening to a very able peecb, on Slats and National policy, by Hon. Joseph A. Wright, the Democratic candidate for Governor, and we speak the united voice of that assemblage, when we cay that we hare seldom listened to any speech with more pleasure or profit. His views on the subject of State policy, show him to be a thinking and practical man. He has no fine-span theories to tickle the ear, or amass the fancy; but his ideas are founded on common sense, and his policy has been matured by reason and experience. As a member of our Legislature, at an early day, when the whig party holding the reins of government, were plunging the State into almost irretrievable ruin, Mr. Wright waa one of the few men, who had the courage or honesty to stand up in the face of a maddened public sentiment, and raise his warning voice against their policy. He saw, as all men should have seen, the inevitable ruin and bankruptcy of the State, and it will be his aim, if elected, to carry out in its letter and spirit, the wise arrangement of our State difficulties, made under the

administration of Gov. Waitcomb. Mr. Wright's views on the common school question the necessity of holding a constitutional convention of providing for the election of all officers by the people, from the Judge upon the bench, U the postmaster in his office of curtailing the interminable amount of local legislation, all meet the decisive approbation of the people. They prove him to be a practical man a man who has not gfown grey in the service of the State, vithout profit to himself, nor without a resolution to profit others. On thesibjectof National policy, Mr. Wright declared himself an unwavering Democrat. He was opposei to monopolies opposed to the high tariff policy opposed to the introduction of slavery into any territory now free in favor cf suppressing the slave trade in the District of Columbia in favor of national appropriations for our great Western Rivers and harbors, and in favor of preserving the poor man's homestead from the grasp cf merciless creditors. He had voted in Congress for the extension of the Jeffersonian ordinance over the Territory of Oregon, long before the idea entered the head of Mr. Wilmot; and he was prepared to sustain the application of that ordinance over all our present territories. He had voted with John Quincy Adams to rescind the infamous Rule against the right of petition, believing that to be one of the sacred rights of every freeman. Mr. Wright's manner of speaking, although not formed after any classic model, is bold, energetic, and not ungraceful. His delivery is rapid, and Eometimes impetuous, for the ideas flow to his tongue faster than the "unruly member" can give them utterance. He spoke of his opponent as a gentleman of ability and capacity, and treated all parties with entire respect an example which, we hope, will not be lost on his antagonist. We have heard many expressions of gratification at the speech, and of the conviction that Joe Wright was certainly born to be Governor of Indiana. So mote it be! Goshen Dem. Voting m the Cabivet The correspondent cf the Baltimore Clipper, a Taylor paper, writing from this city under date of June 30, has the following paragraph: "Col. Gardner, the present city postmaster, entered the army in the same year with Gen. Taylor in 1808. They are old acquaintances, but this waa no guarantee for his continuance in office, and he has to go out of it. Mr. Wm. A. Bradley, his successor, it will be recollected, was nominated by Mr. Ewing for Commissioner of Public Buildings, and voted down in the cabinet. This appointment was backed up strongly by Col. Seaton, of the National Intelligencer, it is said; and Mr. Jacob Gideon, whose son is the publisher of the Republic, was preferred by Mr. Collamer. We all expected that Mr. Gideon would be appointed, and trumps were in the hands of the other players, and people say the old organ triumphed over the new." When the friends of General Taylor state pub1 cly that appointments are determined by vote in the cabinet, we think it is neither creditable nor honorable in the whig ptess to charge us with misrepresenting Gen. Taylor when we say he has abdicated the appointing power in favor of the cabinet. It is a fact according to the showing of his own friends, and proves that he is President only in name. It is disgraceful to the country and humiliating to the pride of every American citizen. Wash. Union. "Go it, te CairrLEs." Mr. Lenox Rea, who fought valiantly in Mexico, and lost a leg at the battle of Molina del Rey, is a candidate for coroner for Pittsburgh, and makes the following announcement in the papers of that city: Coroner. I offer what's left of me to the Democratic county convention, as a candidate for Coroner. If I have any friends, I want them to leg for me now. Lenox Rea, Late of Molino del Rey. We go for that fledge. The women ought to make a pledge not to kiss a man who uses tobacco, and it would soon break up the practice; and a friend of ours says they ought also to kiss every man that don't use it and we go for that, too! fj- Little men can neither lie long in bed nor wear great coats. Ye don't say!

THE FOREIGN NEWS. St atx of Ecaeri Pt6p?cIs of the Popular Caiue. The last news from Europe is of no ordinary importance. Although its general character was not altogether unexpected, yet they cannot fail to excite intense interest in the public mind of the country. We need not say that the relations of the Roman people and the French Republic constitute one of the main points in this intelligence. It is certainly a strange spectacle to behold the soldiers of emancipated France of that France which had so lately buret the shackles of an imbecile and insolent monarchy, and had, at one bold, decisive step, attained so noble a position in the scale cf free nations, employing her armed men in an onslaught upon the struggling Italians thundering at the gates of the "eternal city" with her cannon, and exerting all her strength against the popular cause, in that Rome which, no doubt inspired by her example, had also recently struck for freedom! Manfully have the brave Italians vindicated their claim to their proud ancestral name; but what true friend of freedom, or roankind, can behold unmoved this awful fratracida!

strife? There is something terribly dark and ominous in this business. We fear that we see but the beginning of a Beries of movements, the fruit of devilish intrigues, directed against the liberties, not only of the Roman people, but of the people throughout all Europe. Who knows what machinations have been entered into behind the curtain by the President of the French Republic and the Emperorof Russia? Louis Napoleon has not, thus far, afforded much ground of confidence in his honesty, or attachment to liberty. He is inspired by a vain ambition; and, with others who possess abler heads, and, it may be, are animated by still more ignoble purposes, seeks, there is reason to apprehend, the establishment of an imperial dominion. Why undertake this movement against the struggling people of Italy? Why marshal armies, and exert the military power of the Republic against the popular cause in Italy a cause in whose success the great body of the republicans of France were so deeply and cordially interested7 Alas! clouds and darkness begin to thicken around the fortunes of the European people. The interested supporters of the ancient despotisms, which have trodden the millious in the dust, daily strengthen their combinations, and prepare to strike with deadlier aim at the new-born liberties of the people. Powerful aristocracies, landed interests, financial interests, kings, emperors, brokers, landlords all the tyranical, selfish, grasping, oppressive influences which devour and destroy the masses of Europe are banding themselves together, for that decisive struggle which has already commenced. Ireland lies crushed and powerless. The English masses are utterly imbecile. France has been betrayed. Italy is on the verge of destruction. In Germany, the old order of things is still in the ascendant. Hungary struggles gloriously, but it is the struggle almost of despair. The oppressor, meantime, is strong in banded armies strong in munitions of war strong in pecuniary means strong in the allegiance of the powerful classes, whose very existence depends upon the prosperity of his despotic reign. Our heart almost fails us as we contemplate the present state of Europe. We greatly fear for the prosperity of the popular cause. Have all the throes and struggles, and blood of the people to be for nought? Are wc to remain cold-blooded spectators? Must we fold ur arms and sit less moved than those who look upon a play? Are the Government and the people of this mighty Republic to suffer the blossoming hopes of the European People to perish from even before our eyes, without one effort to save them from that destruction which would seem now to menace them? N. Y. Herald. Difficulties in Chili. The Key West correspondent of the Savannah Republican has the following: Among the passengers by th schooner Naomi (arrived at Key West on the 16 ult. .from Chagres) are Mr. Appleton, late American Minister to Bolivia; also, Mr. Raintree, bearer of dispatches from the American Minister to Peru. We learn also, by this schooner, that, in consequence of a difficulty between our minister to Chili, Mr. Barton, and the government of Chili, he is about to return home. It seems that Mr. Barton married a Catholic lady in Chili. The archbishop took it upon himself to inform that lady that she was not living in lawful wedlock, because she was not married according to the rights of the Catholic church, the marriage havin? been eolI emnized by the chaplain of one of our men-of-war. Mr. Barton complained of this impertinence to the Chilian government, and persisted that proceedings be instituted against the archbishop. On account of this misunderstanding, Mr. Barton will soon return. O A wag purchased a very fine horse. Returning from a ride a few days afterwards, he said he had discovered a quality in his animal which added fifty dollars to his value: "He shied at a constable." Why are all the ladies in faror of "Old Bullion?" Simon (the rascal!) says, "its because they're all Bent-ON men! A good 'cn. Why ia a kiss like a rumor? Because it passes from mouth to mouth.
