"SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1825.

"") an article in the last Indiana Journal, tthich may be considered official, it appears that Wm. W. Wick, Secretary of taie, has determined not to convene the Senate for the purpose of electing a p?esi3ent pro tempore. The reasons upon which this determination is founded appear to us vcry unsatisfactory. They follow: " The Secretary has determined that it is not his d itv tatake notice of or deride upon any actual or Up .oscd vacancy in the Executive Chair happen- ; r or s ipped to happen, B operation of law, t it th it it is his duty to convene the S nate when a vacancy in fact may occur, occasioned hy the dt nth, re'i-rnation, or absence from the state of the L . ut'nact Governor." Phoh pudor! There is no other reason given in the Journal for this decision. The constitution provides that, when the offices of Governor and Lieutenant Governor have become vacant by resignation, or otherwise, the executive duties shall be discharged fry the president pro tern, of the Senate, -ho must be a member of that body. Now 1't us anrlv this to the present case, and

see how they agree. Upon the resigna- ! Each candidate there writes his own biog i V. ft'

Office, nor had any of its numerous patrons in this place received it. We then concluded that brother Scott, in kind regard to our repose, had withheld it from us. Bui we must have the Emporium. We often need a suporific after the toil and heat of the day, and a dose of the Emporium is a very powerful one. But jesting apart. If the editor of the Emporium has any fault to find with any of our remarks, let him do it in his paper, and he will find that 44 our withers are un wrung;" but we cannot pretend to compete with him in backbiting. The following, from an Ohio paper, is recommended to the particular notice of His Honor. By it he will see what sentiments Col. Ray's Salem bulletin excites abroad,and how much such things redound to the honor of the slate. "Electioneering. -Though much younger than Oiio, Indi ana has far outstripped us in tliis art so important in a republic. Here the people must inform themselves

to the same otlke. At the close of the last ! fe?rion of the legislature, the Governor, rc-ied, and the executive authority of j

course devolved upon Col. Ray, as president pro tern, cf the Senate. He has exercised that authority to the present time, ai.d may, constitutionally, until the first of August. 0;i that day his Senatorial term

raphy, speaks in modest terms of his own

principles and patriotism; and publishes the whole in a convenient handbill Or newspaper advertisement. Thus the independent voters are furnished with all the necessary information to qualify them for the discharge of their importantduties at the polls. One of the candidates for governor at the approaching election in that state, thus modestly speaks of himself; 'I have lived in tliis western country thirty years am a native a republican

He cannot. And if does, it will be an usurpation, which should not be tolerated by the people of the state. After the first ci August, Col. Ray will he no longer a Senator aiid if he is no member of the Senate h

Ames, of NewYork, formerly a merchant of this place, arrived here two days ago,from Montgomery, in Alabama; he informed us that he passed through what was called the hostile part of the Creek Nation, and he remarked that he never saw the Indians more friendly, orapparently more peaceably disposed; he neither saw nor heard anything like a hostile disposition or unfriendly feeling, towards anyone during his whole progress through the nation. We understand that Mr. Burton too, who has lately been from this place to Talahassee, and who returned tnrough the Creek Nation with a wagon, reports, also, that he never saw any set of men more obliging or ready to oblige a white man than the Indians are. He seems to have

experienced nothing but friendship from I

mem; and he could have nad no idea oi any thing like a hostile spirit existing in the Nation, from any thing he saw or heard of the re. Chronicle.

FOREIGN ITEMS. Grfece. Our accounts from Greece are rather gloomy. They &peak of distentions among the chiefs, and it is not certain that the Egyptians who landed in the Morea, have been defeated, as wa? reported. But we are so much used to the reception of confused or false news from that quarter, tfrrt we know not wti.tl may D relied on. A fleet of twenty-two Greek vessels, however was .it sea. The Turkish lleet was soon expected to pass the Dardanelles. Clba. The slaves on several plantations about twenty miles from Mata zas revolted on the 16th of June. They murdered between fifteen and twenty whites. Troops were marched against them, arid it is said that they were 6peedily subdued, with the loss of CO or 70 killed. The white population was much agitated in consequence of this event, but tranquility had been restored at the date of our latest accounts. The holv alliance. The approaching

It is stated that gen. Livalija had raised troop in Randa Oriental, to the amount of 2,000, and been joined by Frutes Rivero, who had deserted fom the Brazilian army. Much consternation prevailed at Monte Video from the fear of an attack from this revolutionary party, who are not in any way connected with the government of Buenos Ayres.
