Indiana! Look on. --The Jackson Cen!nl Conunitte', on the 22d F b. last, held n meeting ut S.ilem, whi n, after orgat iz inj. among other resolutions of minor- couSfjuenrp, t'.ic following was pasted: Resolved, That it is the npini-m of this Commit lee that nficr a fair trial of hi; teen years of ardent and faithful service in the counc ils of his 'country; ho individ ual s'ands more conspicuous, as a patriot & statesman, than JOHN C. CALHOUN, our present Vice President we, therefore recommend his reeleetion to that fiice, and will us our hest endeavors to" etTxt that object which was, on motion, adopted' The committee appointed to make the nomination for We l'tesident, wa com po-ed of Me'rs. Rile) , Mclntife, Devolt, Handy, and Himt. It ts not possible that the citzens of In dia a have forgotten that J. C CAl. HOUN has gone against every measure promotive of their int rests, and the gencr i inten sts of the Farmers, Mechanic and Manufacturers of the country,, ever since In has presided in the Senate of the United States; and given his tasting vote against them, when he had the chance to do so: i:or is it possible that they should give their suffrages to such an inveterate en my to tt.eir best interests, in pr Terence to Kit hard Rush, (for the Vice I'r siriem)) the dec ided frend and promoter of those interest: neither do we bi lieve it to be pos-ible for lhem not to feel the insult of tered to Ihr-m. hv the ? omtnation, to that hiyh office, of JOHN C.

The Heaviest shot uhich struck our ship, was of granite, and weighed S00 and was tiro ieet two inches in diameter. One of these huge shots, to the astonishment of our tars, stove in the whole larboard bow of the Active; and having thus crushed this immense mass of solid timber, the shot rolled ponderously aft, and brought up abreast the main hatchway, the crew standing aghast at the singular spectacle. A few years ago, n party of English midshipmen crawled into one of these guns on their haiids and knees, to the no small amusement of thcTuiks. London Observer.

From the Alhanv Chroiiitlr, Win "n a man i- held up as a candidate for the suffrage of a free people, they have a right to inquire not only whether his talent and his habits fit him for the station to which he aspires, but whether his character is such that he ought to reeive their support: and when the station whi( h he seeks is the first in the world, the people who are to confer it should require th it if his mr il character be no' entirely spotless it thall at least be unstained with any gross crime. Not to do this, would be to degrade themselves and, what would if possible be still worse, to confound all dis-

j tinctions between virtue and vice. Indeed

it would be monstiousand revolting to ev ery better feeling of the human heart, if of two murderers, for instance, one should be sent to the gallows to expiate his crime by a death of ignominy, and the other a aould be made President of the United States. These are principles which no man will have the fully or the hardihood openly to deny. But the friends and advocates of Gen. Jackson, sensible that the application of them to his case would be death to his hopes and their onn, have adopted an expedient to prevent that application, by en deavoring to conceal the fact that he was ever guilty of a crime. To .effect this, liiey raise the cry of persecution, falsehood dander, and tuch like ready and apprnbiious e pithels,Hgainsts every attempt to enlighten the public as to his actual deeds od true character. We are free to confess our belief thaf comi , and probably several, slanders have been put in circulation respecting GenerrJ Jackson, but that he has been andered in gome cases, is noai svvcr to unrefuted and well sustained charges brought against him in others. And we h:vr ....

5 That daggers were then drawn. j; Col. Coffee and Mr. Alexander Donaldson ;! made at mm and gave live slight wounds. i Captain Hammond and Mr. Stukely Hays jj. engaged my biother, vvho being atill weak 1

from the effect of a severe wound he had ; lately received in a duel, was not able to resist two m mi. They g .t him dvvn, and j whi e Captain Hammond beat him on the j head to m ike him lay still, Mr Ihns at !

templed to stab him, and wounded him in both arms as he lay on his hack, parrying his thrusts with his naked hands. Iom this situation, a generous hearted citizen cf Nashville, T.Ir. Summer, relieved him. Before he came to the ground, mv brother cl ipped a leaded pistol to the breast of Mr. Hays, to Mow him through, but it missed fire. "G. r.ly ov7ii and my brother's pistols carried tv?o balls each; for it oas our intention, if driven to arms to have no child's play. The pistob ?fired at pc were to near that the blaze of the muzzle cf one of then burnt the sleeve of ciy coat, and the other nirr.ed at my head, nt a little more than an arm's length fro:n it. "7.
