Butter. 'We hear great complaint among our citizens, of the scarcity of butter in our market. Our country friends, who manufacture the article, would do well to bring it to town, as it would now command a handsome price. We have, heretofore,neglected to notice the death of the Hon. Win. T. Barrv, Minister to Spain. He died in England, on the 30th of August, of consumption. The Putnam county Agricultural Society, says the Plough Boy, held its first annual exhibition, in Greencastle, on Monday the 2nd inst. We shall probably publish the report of the Committee. Montgomery county, we are sorry to say, has been backward in this business; nothing would, wc think, better promote the interest of the farmers and mechanics, in this county, than the formation of an Agricultural Society. A law, passed by the legislature of this state,at its last session, makes it the duty of our County Commissioners to call a

meeting of the citizens for the purpose of

organizing a society for the promotion of agriculture and the mechanic arts will they please attend to it ?

the footsteps of gen. Jackson! Thus we find that the spring of Mr. Van Buren's whole conduct for the last six years, has been the impression that the president can appoint his snrppssnr. Vth

this view he has governed all his actions and it is a remarkable fact that we can find no trace of any public appearance he has made during that interval unsullied by gross adulation of gen. Jackson. I he general is the first who has taken the field openly for a candidate of his own nomination. It remains to be seen whether John Randolph spoke prophetically when he called our government an elective monarchy, because the president could appoint his successor.

Greece. A bank is about to be established at Athens, by a company of English speculators. The rate of interest for loans on landed security will be 8 percent., of which amount 2 per cent, is to be paid to

he Greek government. At ihis

rate it is likely to be a rich source ofrevenue. Agricultural nroritiro

The citizens of Tippecanoe, and the adjoining counties, are celebrating, to-day, the anniversary of the ever memorable battle of Tippecanoe, on the sacred spot where it was fought. The celebration

was got up in honor of the veteran soldier,

In a number of counties we notice meet

ings of the friends of gen. Harrison are

to be held to-day, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the convention to be

held in Indianapolis, on the second Mon

day in December next. Would it not be well for the friends of the general, in this county, to call a meeting, soon, for the

same purpose? The object of the con

OUR GOVERNMENT AN ELECTIVE

MONARCHY.

John Randolph once in debate called

our go vernment an elective monarch v.-

"Turn our constitution," said he, "as you

please, the president will elect his success

or: and that successor will be his own son

whenever he happens to have one. of a suitable age.11 The experiment is now trying, which is to test the strength of this prophecy. The remark was one of ther most saga

cious ever made by that brilliant madman. It shows how thoroughly he was aware of the weak point of the constitution the ability of a bad president to abuse his power. It was a deep sense of the same defect that led to the observation of Patrick Ilen-

ry, that our only chance of being well

governed was the chance oi always getting

good men for rulers. MrrVan Buren was aware of this imperfection in our form of government, and determined to profit by it. From the moment of gen. Jackson's election, lie has .been working for the presidency through thoanedium of his favor. He looked to the crown, and not to the people: and in

stead of laboring to recommend himself to the people by any distinguished public service, his only aim has been to recommend himself to the president by a most disgraceful private subserviency. Point to that single act of Martin Van Buren, for the last seven years, that indicates the ability, or even a disposition, to serve the people. He went into the cabinet, and there effected a rupture between the pres

ident and Mr. Calhoun, with a view to rid

himself of a powerful rival whom the

j president might prefer as his successor.

This is the only distinguished feat that we ever heard of his performing in the cabinet, with the exception of that which

terminated in its final explosion. Both of

these exploits were pieces of adroit fatter y to the vresident.

lie went to England, and undertook to

flatter the president again, by a disgrace

ful attack on the justice and honor ot a

preceding administration a useless and ,,nnt,m attack, that could be of no possible

service to the country, and only answered

Wis of implied eulogy to the pres

ident This is all the good that we ever heard of his doing in England; and he was very properly recalled, to make way for a man who could flatter the president without insulting the people. As such a

man could not be found in tne jacivson ranks, the office .still remains vacant. . Mr. Van Buren is made vice president, and presides over the deliberations cf the senate. For this- office he is not badly calculated: he is very clever at putting a

question, and taking the ayes and noes

and as he "potters" with his rattan, or

"dawdles" his white gloves, at the head of

the highest deliberative assembly in the

world ho cuts an exceedingly interesting

figure. But what monument has he left on the barren tract of his vice presidency , unless he was the author of the anonymous codicil to the Protest? None whatever excepting a toast damnatory of the

Fashionable hair dresser and barber, WOULD inform the citizens of Crawfords

ROPOSALS of the Indiana Democrat. As the ensuina session of the

legislature will be one of more than ordinary interest, the publishers of the Indiana Democrat have made arrangements to rive a full

and accurate report of all the proceedings of

tne senate and house of representatives of the

stale of Indiana, having engaged competent

reporters tor that purpose. A discussion on the sul ject of our state internal improvements

now having commenced in the columns of

the Democrat, which will be continued bv

several able pens, there is every inducement offered to those wishing to become acquainted

with tne hest interests of our state, to sub

scribe, and that immediately. The policy of

me state win be made known, with regard to internal improvements, during the next year's publication; and the termination of the canvass for the next presidency will be included.

The Democrat advocates a general system of

state internal improvements, to the exlent of

ten millions of dollars, to be expended pros

pectively, believing the state fully able and

safe in the undertaking; and with regard to the presidential election, it will continue to advocate the pretensions of Martin Van Buren and Riclnrd M. Johnson We intend to

make improvements in our paper, to the full

extent that our subscriptions will justify, so

that with our friends and the friends of im

provemcnt in our state, is left the decision, whether we shall make the Democrat, in size

and appearance, cnual to anv naocr in tl

west, or whether we shall continue, as heretofore, to go considerably ahead of what our receipts will justify. As every thing appears to be prosperous around us, we also feel like using our best energies to " go ahead.'''' The Democrat will be published twice a

week, during the session, and will be afforded

to subscribers, as heretofore, at one dollar

for that period. The terms, for a volume of

fifty-two numbers, will be two dollars, if paid

in advance, two dollars and fifty cents in six months, or three dollars at the end of the volume. All subscribers furnished with papers twice a week during the session. Papers carefully put up and forwarded as early as possible after each publication. Yearly subscribers always preferred, and advance payments expected. Every person subscribing, and forwarding five dollars, shall

have three volumes of the Democrat, in return.

forwarded to such persons as he may desig

nate; and each person procuring five session

subscribers, and forwarding a five dollar bill,

shall have one subscription, durin? the ses

sion, for his trouble.

Subscriptions, and the payment thereof,

can be returned by members of the legislature

cr delegates to the state convention, or for

warded by post masters; and we respectfully

invite such persons to use their exertions in

obtaining subscribers to the Democrat, which

avor will be reciprocated. BOLTON &, EMMONS. Indianapolis, October, 1835.
