Do they feel the importance of this great Ptruggle for the balance of power in the House of Representatives This contest is of as much importance as the election last j ear. The Wiiis understand this thoroughly; and Truman Siriih, the great manager and vire-woiker of thnt party, has been called to Washington City to lock after the coining election. We do not know what Truman has promised Kentucky, and the other States. Wa suppose lie has told the Kentuckians that Gen. Taylor is a slave-holder, anil that tho very fact of his owning two hundred and eighty negroes binds him more firmly to the pro-slavery party than jiny promises he could make: all of which we bi lieve to be true. To Indianians he has written what he and Gen, Taylor wished to do to place same one of her prominent citizens in his Cabinet; but never a vvoul about amending the BuenaVista Report, po as to do jtr-ticr to Indiana's brave voluntens. We- lVel pretty safe in thie D. strict; but this cam feeling of security may nun our candidate. Every Democrat should lel that the result of tins election rested upon his exertion, and upon his vote. Tutu out, then, and see that your neighbors a!.-o turn out and vote. Every mjcrntic vo:e polled in this District will deciea-e the Whig majority in this county, and increase the Democratic majority in the District (or Dm. ham. The larger the Democratic rn.'.jcnty the better, to cheer and encourage our ft. i ends in the States which vote uf;t-r we do. A iarpe Democratic majority will teach Truman Smith and hisemp.loyrr that the Hookers a;e not to be branded one seaon as cowards, and the next coaxed into the support of their slanderer, although he may be, in the language of the said Truman, "one of the very best men God ever suffered to live," who never let his Council or Cabinet turn a widow vc '!:m cut of a petty post-office, taking tht; bread out of the mouths of orphans to fuither those "party projects'' which the Ai.ison Letter so eloquently denounces. It is known now that the Democrats have but rive members to eain, to have a majority in the House of Representatives. All can ??e at a g'ance the importance of having a Democratic House to co-operate with the Democratic Senate, m preventing the Wb'gs ,Vom foisting upon the people another h-gii Tariff, a Bank, a gigantic scheme cl I r tenia! Improvements bv the Genera! Government, and last, a Bankrupt Law, to wipe oil the indebtedness those measures r.re sure to tring in their train. The Illinois S e n a t 0 r. s h 1 r . Hon. Archi1 i Williams, an able lawyer and promi la nent actor in the Constitutional Convention, hj.3 given it as his opinion that Gov. French has the power, and that it is his easy, under the circumstances, to appoint t.i?. S .mater for Illinois, in the pla ace of an j that the expense 01 an extra s.A.a cf the General Assembly is cnt:ie!y i;tt es. The I;uno..s papers consider tii'S evidence quite conclusive, and urge the Governor u take immediate actica to 3.'? j-c;l.i a Senate.-.

07-Our readers will recollect that, several weeks since we published an eceount the marriage of a beautiful young Frenchwoman to a wealthy merchant of New Orleans, who immediately after the ceremony presented her liege lord with a note cn a banking house in that city for ten

happy pair started next day for the North; but before his departure the gentleman savo the note into the hands of his banker, with directions to have it discounted and the amount remitted to him at New Yorh. On being presented for payment, the note wa3 dtctared to be a forgery, and a suit was immediately entered against Madame Gallot, wl ich has ended a few days ago in her acquittal. The trial is reported at length in the Picayune, and is very interesting. The prosecutor, Antoine Michoud, prevaricated very much when under crosaexami.iation by the counsel for the defence, in relation to his signature to the note, and everything in the evidence went to 6how that the note was not a forgery. The allegation that the body of the note had been removed by a chemical process, or the signature transferred, was disproved by a chemist. The prisoner made a statement to the jury, written in French, to the effect that M. Michoud had been courting her for a long time, and had, in fulfilment of a promise, given her the note in question as a token of his regatd. The jury were out only two minutes and a half. The case has attracted genera! attention, from its singular features. O-The Cincinnati Commercial states that an effort is being made by a number of persons to entice away the principal witness in the case of James B. Summons. The persons who are engaged in this criminal offence, should they be found out, will, we are assured by the Prosecuting Attorney, receive the full benefits of the law. The Commercial adds: "We learn from a reliable source that the prisoners in our county jail thieves, vagabonds, and all spurn the fellow who stends charged with the crime of attempting to murder his patents. Though thy are themselves down in the depths of degration, they regard with marked manifestations of disgust the new-come prisoner, and have expressed their sensibility of disgrace in his company. They r ass his cell, but scorn to look at or recognize him. This we have from an officer." Land Warrants. A New York letter of Wednesday week, to the Philadelphia Ledger, says: "The price of land warrants in Wall street to-day is, $130 for ICO acres, and 15 for 40 acres. Holders ask $133, and are offered 0125 for the former tinwide difference between buying and selling being caused by the risk the brokers run, of having gome of the many counterfeits afloat 'stuck' on them.'' fj7-The Cincinnati Chronicle, in answer to something in the Enquirer about Truman Smith's letter, says: "We done what was far better (than publish the Iptter), that is, copy extracts enough to illustrate its chaiacter and denounce them and their author, as we honpstly believe they deserved." Give it to him, Mr. Chronicle. It is quite refreshing to hear an editor "speak right out" about one of the "eminent leaders" of his party. firWe see it stated in the Lafayette Journal that several very foolish attempts have recently been made to prevent the spread of cholera, by cutting away the Canal, so as to prevent communication between the different points below and above that city.

For tho Courier. Mr. Editor: It was scarcely supposed that the democratic candidade, Mr. H. Deputy, could pass through the ordeal of a canvass without au attack of some kind, either personal or political. In this, our expectation was not disappointed. In the Daily Banner of the 24th nst appeared a long communication, signed "A Citizen," having for its avowed object but two purposes; one to exculpate R. M. Smith from all gtiV in regard to a certain petition requesting the Legislature to make the sale of spirituous liquors a"penitentiary offence;" the other to charge the opposing candidate with extravagant expenditure of the county funds. Through his friend, "A Citizen." Mr. Smith pleads guilty of "carelessness," having, as he says and his statement is corroborated signed it without reading it or knowing its contents. His hand writing is on that memorial; why does he avoid its effects? I; it because he abhors the doctrines advocated in it, or does ha fear it wiil be the "hand-writing on the wall," sad precurser of impending defeat? One of these motives must govern his present action; which it is,

remains for popular opinion to decide. If those persons who obtained a copy of the "Temperance Memorial" did so to defeat Mr. Smith, and for no other perpose, it is passing strange that they should send to Indianapolis, and by doing so incur considerable expense, whilst they themselves had in their possession the identical petition signed by R. M. Smith, and had been in possession of it for months. This proves at once that injury to the success Mr. Smith was not the sole ciuse of its publication. Neither was R. M. Smith thought of by the persons who sent for a copy of the memorial, nor was it obtained or pujh'a'ied for any political purpose whatever. This is positively asserted and can and will be proved whenever needed for any purpose other than idle curiosity. The cry of perbecation has been raised by "A Citizen." Persecution for what? Opinion! It cannot be for that, because Mr. Smith's opinion did not coincide with the doctrines of the memorial. The truth is, people have 6aid that Smith's signature was appended to that petition, and objected to him on that account. Should his explanation be deemed sufficiently unbiassed, his persecutors will cease iu their "diligent and deadly effort." Of course, in m defence of Mr. Smith, headed in capitals the "Temperance Petition," there must be an attack on Mr. Deputy. It would not huve been complete without it. It is conducted however in a manly and courteous manner. The statements consist of extracts from the records of this and other counties. Not having at our command the records of Marion and Dearborn counties we will endeavor to account for an alledged increase of $324 3 in the bailiff expenses of this county. Three causes for this increase will be given. One cause is the increased length of the sessions of tne Circuit court over any preceding Sheriff term. Court was in session 72 days during Philips' last term, 1841-2 9(days in Rea's last term, 1845-6-107 days in Deputy's (the present) term. Auother resulted from the necess ty for bailiffs to guard prisoners while awaiting their trial, or confined in the court house for want of a jailLast, but not least, the increase in the, number of indictment found and witnesses summoned b the Grand Jury. The principal use of bailiffs is to attend the session of the Grand Jury, and summon witnesses for them. These are the reasons for the increase in theexpenditure for bailiff. If "A Citizen" wishes Mr. Deputy's skirts cleared from the charge of extravagance, this explanation it is hoped will be sufficient. If he iutend? however to reiterate the charge after the explanation made in this article, it will be as useless to attempt to convince him of his error as we hope it will be difficult to make the people of this county believe that a corrupt use has been made of the county funds. It has been the custom of this county to re-elect the sheriff. This custom has never yet been departed from in any instance within our knowledge. Shall this custom remain or 6hall it be swept away and forgotten? A word in relation to the certificate given by the Secretary of State. It is an exact copy of one, now in the hands of a whig in this city, meant to subserve a private purpose, and not intended for publication. This wiil at once re; el the insinuation that Mr. Dunn's name wsb menretary has time to watch, and inclination to engage in the petty intrigues which are carried on in the various counties of the State. "A Citizen" should not make 6uch a charge, nor expect sensible men of either party to believe it. T. VvhatNejt?

For the Courier. SPRINGDALE CEMETERY. The tenderest feelings of the human heart prompt the living to show kindness to the dead. It may be said, "It matters not what becomes of the frail casket when the jewel is remove h" It is true, doubtless, that the spirits of the departed are not rendered more or less happy by any honors or indignities heaped upon their lifeless remains, unless we may suppose that they hover round the spots they loved, and are pleased when they, unseen, witness affection's tears, and offerings to their memory. It may be true that the disembodied spirit heeds it not, whether the body it has left decays unburied on a battlefield, or is eaten by fishes, or torn by wild beasts, or is thrown into a rudely dug grave by the way side, or is laid upon the dissecting table of the anatomist. Still our best feelings revolt from the conclusions of a cold philosophy. That lifeless corpse is a sacred relic. It is connected in the thoughts of friends with the spirit that formerly inhabited it, and it is loved for that connection. Who would not resent an indignity towards the corpse of a friend more strongly than if directed towards a living friend? We wish to treat the bodies of the dead respectfully now. We wish to ensure respect to their dust hereafter. Hence those various devices which friendship and affection have sought to give utterance to their deep and tender emotions. The past twenty-five years, have witnessed an unusual degree of attention bestowed upon burial places in this country, and for one I am glad to see it; but I do not like to see separate burying places for different denominations of christians, or for different classes of citizens, as rich or poor, as foreign or native born; as is the case in some of our cities. Death is a wonderful leveller, and all dust is kindred. Every village, town, or city should have its burial place well selected, carefully preserved in order, and f ufficiently large where vaults may be dug, and monuments, or humbler memorials may be reared; or where flowers may bloom and trees wave above the dust of our loved and lost ones. It affords a mournful gratification to the living to visit such places; it is profitable to visit such places, and there to meditate on the lessens there taught us. I wish in two or three short articles to suggest some thoughts upon this topic, which the circum stances of the present time may perhaps render interesting to our citizens. CIVIS. Triumph of American Industry During the past week we have had our attention called to another triumph of American manufacture in producing French bareges. For the entire season our auction rooms have been crowded with these good. All thought that the Frenchman had catered wonderfully in designs, peculiarly suited to the American taste, as well as to the prevailing whims, until one of our jobbers called upon an importer of whom he had purchased a case or bareges, "to arrive." His design was to inform him that if not delivered soon he would withdraw the purchase. The importer was out; and the salesman, who was not so well posted as to the importation, informed the jobber that they would j soon be forthcoming, as his emplo er was then absent at the print-works, urging on the work. Here, then, was the secret of the whole business exposed. The tisf-ues were imported iu the gray; and with the tissues came a man accustomed to the preparation of colors for this kind of work A bargain was immediately struck with the celebrated printers, Messrs. Dunnell &. Co , and all the bareges which have paid a profit to the producer are Yankee printing on imported cloths. N- Y. Dry Goods Reporter. Hopeful, for the Hungarians, is the success of the Circassians against Russia- Schamyl and his intrepid mountaineers, like their ancestors who defied Alexander, have for years held Nicholas at bay, and are now victors on the Russian frontier. Powerful as men, hardy as a race, liberty loving and chivalrous, they have been as a pestilence to the imperial armies. Though assaulted by immense odds, they were never subdued retreating with the speed of the chamois into their mountain fastnesses, they emerge as suddenly, like an avalanche, sweeping serf and Cossack from their path. They have lately captured an important Russian fortress, carried off its munitions and razed its walls. The Russian 6oldier has come to dread a Circassian campaign worse than exilw to Siberia. He knows that certain death is before him. The Siroc is not more fatal to the desert traveller than the sight of the Circassian to the ' Russian. What vast armies have been decimated at the bases and among the steppes of those mountains. Legion after legion has perished there, leaving no monument but their unburied bones. The journals of St. Petersburgh are silent. The military gazettes breathe no word of 1 the awful sacrifice of soldiers in a vain attempt

I to subdue a people who never were conquered. Still Nicholas madly keeps up the war- And as ' madly, he comes down to flesh his s-word in the bright waters of the Danube.

God speed you, my dear friend, out of your troubles; but considering my large family, I am pained to deny your request a tear drops on the paper as I write, to blot out what would seem my hard-heartednes; but I shall feel bound to pay, and will do it, cheerfully, your funeral expenses; whenever it shall please Providence to remove you from this corrupt and overburdened world; and so, Heaven be with you.
