RISING SUN TIMES. UOX. AMOS LAXE-. It has been said to us, since our paper Come out on politics, that to support the administration of Mr. Van Buren, was not half so great a crime as to support Amos Laxe for Congress; that we were bound to support Mr. Lane, Scc. Now, we have never said that we would support Mr Lane; but we have a right to say so, and a right to do so, in common with all other citizens entitled te the right of suffrage, without, we think, being charged with crime in so doing. Mr. Lane has many violent enemies in his district; and many serious chargeshave been brought up against him. It is our purpose to allude to one of these charges at present. We have heard it said that Mr. Lane was not respected at Washington that he was treated with contempt by the members of Congress and that when he rose to speak the House was deserted there were none to listen to him. Now in order to show what truth there is in the above charges, we give the following extract from a letter written at Washington, Dec. 20lh, 183G, by a citizen of Tennessee, to his friend near Columbus, Miss., and published in the Columbus Democrat. After alluding to certain Senators, the writer proceeds "We will now go for a moment to the House of Representatives. They have as yet done but littie. Mr. Wise's sweeping resolution, making no specific charges, but proposing a select committee to enquire into all the departments of government, is still on the tapis, and elicits a speech or two whenever it comes up. The friends of the Administration will scarcely indulge Mr. Wise, if indeed he desires the adoption of his proposition, for it is believed that he merely seeks a pretext for declaring that the majority are determined to screen all abuses, and hence the terms of his resolution are studiously indefinite. But they will challenge investigation into all the bureaus of government, and invite specific charges against every suspected officer. Mr. Lane of Indiana, a man by the way that Mr. Wise dreads more than any other in the House for his pungent satire and caustic humor made a capital speech to-day. He cut Peyton into mince meat, and hashed up Wise and Bell in capital style. Mr. Lane is by iw means equal to either gentleman in point of talents; but he has a plain-dealing, matter-of-fact manner about him; a nack of calling things by their right names; a method of cutting up and giving side-wipes, and fifth-rib thrusts, peculiar to himself, and it is astonishing how he annoys thes'e three distinguished gentlemen. Wise knows he can gain nothing by picking a quarrel with the member from Indiana, for he is known to be a man "famili.tr with fight" in all its shapes, from the Kentucky hug to the ten paces with pistols. He handles his fist and rifle equally well, and is the most thorough and regular bred tongue lasher in Congress. You will see Lane's speech reported it was a capital hit, and it is a remarkable fact that while Webster was speaking in the Senate to-day on the treasury order, Lane kept a crowded audience in the House and its galleries! I never did sec two men suffer so much as Peyton and Wise. As for Bell, he winced for half an hour and made a precipitate retreat.-' Mr. Van Bnreu-The English Carriage. Who has not heard that Mr. Van Buren rode in a splendid English carriage in preference to an American one, and attended by white men, dressed in rich liveries? Hear what the same writer says in regard to that story " I have looked in vain for Mr. Van Buren's English equipage. He rides in a simple barouche, drawn by cne horse, with no show of ostentation or display. His liveried white men (which the opposition declaimed against so much,) turns out to be a single servant, as black as the ace f spades, who drives his master to the capitof, and takes him back to dinner. The fact is, the Vice President is one of the plainest gentlemen in the nation; modest, unassuming, conciliatory, of the most admirable temper, and unblemished moral character; and he will bring to the administration of the government untiring industry; a mind disciplined by long and active service, invigorated by constant practice; an ambition chastened by trials and opposition; a patriotism that no reasonable man

can question, sustained by the confidence of a large majority of the American people. Can we dubt his success, or the continued prosperity of our belov ed country?" Later from Texas. It appears by recent advices from Texas that Gen. M. Hunt was appointed Envoy to the United States by President Houston, to act in conjunction with Col. Wharton, the resident Minister. A proclamation has been issued by President Houston, dated Columbia, Jan. 9, 1837, in which he states that inconsequence of various persons having received money in the United States, under pretext of being agents therof, in order to prevent such impositions upon the friends of Te xas in the United States, he does therefore revoke all power or authority claimed by such persons under the late Government, ad interim, unless the same has been re cognized in writing; and none such whatever shall receive goods, money, occ. in the name of Texa9,iunlcss authorized by the present Government.

FOR THE TIMES AND JOURNAL. Mr. Editor In your paper of 25th inst. and over the signature of George P. Buell, I find his annunciation of being a candidate tc,r the Senate of this State from the countv cf Dearborn, and the opinions upon which he intends to rest his claims for eler tion. It m.ight have been expected, that if Mr. Bud', was a candidate, he would take exceptions to all business heretofore done by the Legislatuie, and make new suggestions in order to attract public attention : but it was not to be expected, that he would attempt to force a construction of a certain law, which it was not susceptible of. I mean the law disposing of the surplus revenue. He says, "In noticing the late law disposing of our proportion of the

surplus revenue, I observe one-halt placed ! in the Banks, without any security, wherej as for the half placed in the agent's hands, the individual borrowing, is required togive real estate security at one-half its value. Now I ask what guarantee have the public that this fund in the Banks will be forthcoming when called for? Is it proper for a representative to vote an appropriation of the public money for his own exclusive use." I presume no other candidate in the state will attempt to palm that construction of the law, upon the people : for so far from placing it in the Banks without security, its direction is given to the state Bank, to not only place a part of it in the branches already created on -the same securities as original stock subscribed on the part of the state but to create new branches: and so far from its being placed there, by the votes of individuals who will derive the benefits from it, it is the property wholly of the slate, subject to her control, and all the profits arising therefrom to belong to the state. Indeed it is a matter of great doubt, whether the branches of the state Bank will accept of it upon the terms stipulated; and if they do, it can only be to accommodate the great interest of the state, and the community in which they live; for as the state derives the whole interest accruing ihcrcon, ihc indi idual stockholders have all the trouble and risk without a corresponding advantage: and should they accept it, and thereby be able to extend their accommodations to tho people, is it not more desirable to obtain money from the Bank at six per cent, than to borrow of the commissioner at a much greater rate of interest? But to make the disposition of the surplus fund odious (which act he will no doubt attribute to his predecessor) he states, that for the obtaining of that part of the surplus fund in the agents hrnds, the individual borrowing is required to give real estate security at half its value. The intention here is no d ubt to convey- tho idea that is the only method of obtaining the fund. Bat when we come to examine the law on the sul jcct.it gives to the Commissioner the power to accept of such security as he may deem sufficient, and which may be cither personal security or real estate. But Mr. Buell is "opposed to the state's lending its credit or money to a company of individuals cither for B ulking purposes or making Rail Roads." Will we have the goodness to tell his constituents how much of the state's money, loaned to the Lawrenccburgh and Indianapolis Rail Road company, for the purpose of constructing that work, he has in his possession, and is now speculating on ? Indeed, all this prating about Bank and Rail Road monopolies, comes with a bad grace from a man who was one of the Commissioners to establish the Branch Bank at Lawrenceburgh; and who, w hen it was so established, was an extensive stockholder in the same, as well as in another Bank, and who was, and may yet be, one of the prominent actors in the Lawrenceburgh and Indianapolis Rail Road, and who may have set his face against those valuable institutions because he could not control them. But what are we to gain by a change of Senators? Mr. Plummcr, the fonner Senator, pursued the same course Mr. Buell proposes to take: and if Mr. Buell will not vote for raising the taxes, he cannot charge his predecessor with doing it. Indeed, if the Journals tell truth, no Delegate from Dearborn county, in either branch of the Legislature, voted for raising them. But in addition to all these, we have local interests to be attended to; and in this we know the former incumbent to be our unyielding friend and we feel more disposed to risk him again in the Senate of this State, than Mr. Buell. LAUGIIERY. February 27, 1S37. COL,. R. M. JOIIXSOX. After Col. Johnson had been chosen Vice President, by the Senate, a committee was appointed to wait upon him and inform him of the fact; to whom Col. Johnson transmitted the following letter to be laid before the Senate. To the Senate of the United States: Gentlemen: I have received with no ordinary emotions, the notice through your committee of my election to the otlice of Vice President of the United States by the Senate. I accept the station assigned me. This token of regard from the representatives of the States, will ever be held in grateful recollection. Permit me to tender you my sincere thanks. Observing that your decision is in harmony with a majority of the States, and a moiety of all the electors in the primary colleges, my gratification is heightened, from the conviction that the Senate, in the exercise of their constitutional prerogative, concurred with, and confirmed the wishes both of the Slates and the people. Called, in virtue f this preferment, to preside in the deliberations of your enlightened body, from and after tho third of March next, permit me to mako use of

this opportunity to say, that I cannot feel insensible to dilliculties which I must anticipate, and the frequent occasion I may have for your forbearance. Though for thirty years a member of one or the other of the t wo Houses of Congress, yet I have never been accustomed to preside, even temporarily, over either, or in any deliberative assembly. My attention has generally been engrossed by the more immediate acts of legislation, without special regard to the minuteness of rules and orders, so necessary to the progress of business, and s important to the observance of the presiding officer. Contemplating the character of my distinguished predecessors, and considering my deficiency in point of talent, and the want of experience for the appropriate duties of the station, it is impossible for me to overcome entirely the diffidence with which I meet this call of my fellow-citizens. LSut this n flection will always console me, that any errors on my part will affect me personally rather than the public, the intelligence of the Senate will guard the country from auv injury that might result from the imperfections of its presiding officer, and its magnanimity will cover those imperfections with the veil of charity. In this conclusion, I find a warrant in contemplating among the members of your body so many friends with whom I have been associated in public life. It is only in the event of an equal division of the Senate that the presiding officer is called upon to give his vote. My hope is, that there may le always sufficient unanimity to prevent such a contingency. If, however, it should happen, this duty will be familiar to me, and I shall perform it without embarrassment. In exercising this power, I shall expect the same indulgence that I have ever extended to others, where differences of opinion existed. To the Senate the most important trusts are committed. Its duties arc legislative, executive, and in certain contingencies, judicial. As citizens, every branch of our Government is dear to us; but, from my more immediate relation to this by your choice, I shall regard it with special interest. It stands pre-eminent in talent and character. In presiding over its deliberations, it shall be my effort to act with perfect respect and impartiality towards every member, and endeavor, by 'his course of conduct, to merit .he approbation o f all. It. M. JOHNSON.. City of Washington, Feb. 10, 1837.

THE XEW YORK MOB. On the 10th and 11th days of February, handbills were posted round the city, headed ''BitEAD, Rent, Meat, Fuel'. Their prices must comedown!'''' and concluded by a call for a meeting of the citizens, on Monday, the 13th, to "devise a suitable remedy for the present unexampled distress." The call was signed by eight of the leading locofoco party of that city. The New York Courier thus describes the disgraceful scene which ensued: As might be expected, language so well calculated to arouse the wost passions of the worst part of the populace of a large city, occasioned an assemblage in the Park of from 5000 to 0000 people. A self constituted committee then made their appearance in front of the City Hall, among whom A. Mingc, jr. appeared most conspicuous, lie made a speech, the chief topics of which, as far as could be bean!, w ere the Currency, Banking, and finally high rents and high prices. Another orator fellowcd. Among other language ho used the following: '-Fellow citizens, Eli Hart, has now in' his store fifty-three thousand barrels of flour. Let us go dow n pcacel.lv and ask him to let us have it at ,$ ; if he don't we'll (after a pause) go peaceably away. This speech was tremendously cheered, and several orators followed. In one of the intervals, Mr. Ming offered a set of resolutions, of which we could only gather the sense of one, which was that a memorial should be sent to the Legislature, to prohibit the issue of all bank notes under $100. At the close of this speechify ing, some of the most zealous in attendance lifted Mr. Ming on their shoulders, and carried him to Tammany Hall. The meeting consisted chiefly of foreigners, many of whom could not speak English. Certainly not one-third were American citizens, and those chiefly apparently attracted there by curiosity. Having left Mr. Ming at Tammany Hall, large numbers poured down Broadway, and after making one or two detours reached the store of Mr. Eli Hart, in Washington street, near Vcsey street. This building has three large doors for the passsge of 'goods to the warehouse, and a counting-house with another door, adjoining. The mob had forced open the middle door before our reporter reached the spot. On perceiving their proceedings, the clerks in the counting house closed the iron shutters of the windows. About twenty-five barrels of flour were then rolled out of the store, their heads knocked in, and the contents scattered about the street. At this time a number of the friends of Mr. Hart and a posse of police officers arrived on ihc soot. 1ml tWv lirt t encountered on their w ay in Dcy street u part of the mob, w ho assailed them and took aw ay the officers' stalls, breaking them over their persons. The officers, notwithstanding, succeeded in clearing the store of the rioters, and appeared sufficiently strong to prevent the cntaiiiice ol any more through the only door open. The mob were thus kept at hay for about twenty minutes, during which tinu the Mayor arrived and addressed tin m, remonstrating with them on tho folly of thci conduct. He was struck several lime.' and pelted with flour, and finally compelled to desist and retire. The rioters hav

ing received a large addition to their nambers, now seized the store door which had been torn off its hinges, and w ith it battered down the remaining doors, and forced open the window shutters, the persons inside being only able to guard one door. . A scene of havoc and confusion ensued. The people scattered themselves about tite lower floor and counting house, and continued for one hourroliingout barrels of flour and carrying out the bags of wheat the contents of which wire all turned into the street. The desks, papers, and every thing in the counting house w ere throw n out of the w indow, and the former broken to pieces by jumping on them. They then proceeded up stairs, and began throwing barrels of flour out of the windows and down the hatchways. An half hour was consumed in this way. It was now dark and about 7 o'clock, w hen a strong body of police officers arrived, and in a few minutes dispersed the whole. Having procured lights, the police then searched the second story, but only found two rioters there, who jumped out of the window and were caught by the officers below. The mob then crossed over to the East TiVf .....1 I,..

j store of A. B. Mecch Sc Co., w here they destroyed about twenty-five barrels of i nu . i i it iiour. liicvuicn marched ii, carrvmg one of the ringleaders on their shoulders to the stjie of Messrs. lie racks, in Codifies slip; but here thev were encountered by the police to whose aid the citizens were turning out from all quartersdriven off, and dispersed. Between thirty and forty persons were arrested and brought up in the course of the evening to the police office, by the officers and marshals. Among them were James Chapman, w ho was fully identified as being one of the ringleaders, and a boy named James Roach, who had been seen on the sill of the window of Mr, Hart's store, crying out, 'Here goes flour at ! a l ane!," throw ing some into the street at tho same time. They w ill u!l be brought up for examination to-morrow. Soon after 8 o'clock, a large number of the military portions of tin; 27(h regiment, were assembled in tho Hall, and were marched down to the scene of action, and by nine o'clock, n ulling of the mob remained. The street in fruit of Mr. Hart's store was literally strewed with flour and w heat to the 1 1 e i : 1 1 of a loot, and his loss w ill probably exceed N' 10,000. 8wi; s beggar women were seen in numbers running away with their aprons filled with flour, and men in the neighborhood seemed almost all to have their coats covered with it. Our rem irks will bo shorten this disgraceful aff.iir. It is not the actors in it, poor ignorant deluded w retches that arc to blame, so much as (he instigators who knowing better know ing that the meeting could nt answer I he purpose for which it was ostensibly called, still devised it, solely to give themselves political consequence. We are astonished lhat tho civil authorities with the call of this meeting before them, had not a sufficient police force or the military, ready to pro-, cut the consequence winch it was probable would follow it. Twenty-five armed in.?n could at any moment have dispersed the whole mob. Though mobs of this kind may for a short time commit outrages, yet with the feeling we yesterday saw evinced by our citizens we are satisfied thev will never be allowed to perpetrate them long. It was gratifying to observe tin; large number who spontaneously hastened to the scene of action armed, determined to put down quickly the disturbers of the public peace. THK I.AM) BILL.

He may then get his patent. If he fails in his proof he forfeits tho purchase money, if he dies within the five years, and hi."ealh shall be proved within six years from the date of the receipt, the patent is still to issue. Any sale, lease, or mortgage, or

The message of President Jackson has wonderfully feuded to reconcile us to the idea of devoting the remainder of our life I to the support of Government based upon principles strict'y conservative (certainly j not Tory.) With .all their boasted advan- ' t 'ges. republics arc liable to calamities uni know n in lands blcsed with monarchical I institutions. Let the disaffected radicals I of our own country, and tho liberty loving enthusiasts of France, read the speech of J President Jackson, and then contemplate tiie peculiar felicity w hich, in despite of ! themselves, they enjoy, living as 1 he y do, J under the shadow of the royal diadem. Of I the President's message no fewer than i thirteen paragraphs, or nearly a fourth of the entire document, are taken up with I grave considerations respecting the disposal of the surplus revenue. Is not this I frightful? The American Govnernment is so rich; so superabounds in wealth and resources; that Congress is invited to deliberate upon the best menus of reducing taxation w ithout wiving offence to the people. Kings God bless them are never at a loss as to how they may dissipate the wealth entrusted to them by the people, in every other particular the President's message is an able ami valuable document, and we have no doul t will be read with feelings of the deepest interest. The retirement of General Jackson is but the include to his disappearance from the scene of his triumph for by nil accounts it ifppears that he has not long to live. His career was one of glory to himself, and of happiness to the States of which he is now the President. His last speech will yet shake thrones, of which none doubt tho stability. Londo n Sun .

The citizens of New York have lately risen against the monopolists of flour in that city, and suchbvere their threats of violence that the Mayor had privately ordered the military of the city to be in readiness, at a nnment's warning, to quell any disturbance that might occur. It appears there is nothing to justify the high trice of flour. There are said to be upwards of 70,000 barrels in the city, y et it is held at the average price of !sl2 per bbl. wholesale, and fyl'.i retail, from a monopoly of breadstuff's in a city with such an immense population as New York, the sufferings f the the poorer class must indeed be lamentable. I'cvay Times. The Natchez touched off the port of Metamoras on ihe 28th ultimo, and was first to convey thither the intelligence of Santa Anna's liberation by the Government of Texas, and his departure for Washington. It was received with the most enthusiastic demonstrations of joy by the officers at the tort, some of w hom are his personal as well as political friends. They repeatedly caught the gentlemen w ho imparted the information, in the alaniode Castilian embrace, nearly overwhelming them with the extravagance of their caresses, and at evening entertained them with a serenade and salute from muskets, and treated tliein w ith a profusion of hospitality. A courier was immediately despatched to proclaim the glad tidings in the city, anil a celebration of the event was had by tiring of artillery, accompanied bv acel.iminations of 'long live Santa Anna!' The New Orleans B ulletin of the 7th inst. sta es that intelligence has been received from Vera Cruz as late as tho 22d ult. and that the news of (he liberation of Santa Anna caused great rejoicing in the City of Mexico. lbistamente, who has been spoken of as a candidate for I ho Presidency had declared in favor of Santa Anna, and had resigned the command of the army for the, invasion of Texas. This is favorable to Texas. Santa Anna, again in tower, will comply with his promise to Texas, and acknowledge her independence. Louisrillc Advertiser.

We are not advised whether the respective amounts have been placed in flic Agents' hands. We presume, how-, ever, they will give notice when they receive it. COMMON SCHOOLS. It would seem that a strong effort is about to be made in the west to call public attention more seriously to the subject of Common Schools. Two periodicals devoted to the interests of Common Schools, have recently been commenced in Cincinnati; another in Madison, la,, and a fourth in Jacksonville, III. May success in so great a cause crown the efforts of Editors and Publishers. The Common School Advocate, published at Madison, and edited by the Rev. Wm. Twininc, appears monthly, and is worthy of the subscription price, which is 1 per annum, in advance. Mr. John Piatt, of Eist Bend,. Ky., about three miles below this place, last week fell a white ash tree, which, when cut and ranked, measured twenty-two cords of wood! Who can turn out a tree that will produce so much woad? OrTlie Globe of the 18th January, speaking of tho Expunging resolution,. Ljts llicse remarks : 'The vote was taken night before last, between nine and ten o'clock, upon the Ivvpunging resolution introduced by Mr. Benton. It passed by a majority of fire, several Members being absent, who would doubtless have voted for it had they been present. Among them we may name Mr. Parker of Virginia, w ho is confined to his bed by a severe attack of pleurisy; Mr. Cuthbert of Georgia, who has not yet reached this city, and is probably detained by sickness; the two Michigan Senators, Messrs. Norvell ar d Lyon, w ho were excluded from a vote, the Senates bill admitting them not having gone through thoformulas of the House; General McKean of Pennsylvania, was absent from sickness. The vacant seats of Louisiana, Delaware, and Mary land, in the Senate, havc not yet been filled. Mr. King of Georgia, who, it is understood, was in favor of the olject of the preamble and resolution, but opposed to the phraseology or mode of executing it, did not vote. If the whole Senate had been present, and had voted simply upon the act of the Senate condemning ihc President fir the removal of the depositcs, without regard to f irms, the vote would have been probably thirty to twenty against the panic proceeding -on the supposition that Mr. Hendricks, who voted against it originally, was now prepared to express the same opinions against it. In this estimate w e give up Judge White, who,, although at onetime willing to rescind-, refused from the beginning to agree to tho preamble declaring the wrong it waa intended to repair." The C Kiimittee of the Senate on Foreign relations, to whom was referred the Message of the President recommending the issuing of Letters of Marque against Mexico, have made a Report w hich closes with the following Resolution: After a full consideration of all the circumstances, the committee recommend tho adoption of the following resolution: Resolved, That the Senate concur in opinion with the President of the United, States thst another demand ought' to bo made for the redress of our grievances from the Mexican Government, the modo and manner of which, under the 31th article of the treaty, so far as it may be applicable, are properly confided to his discretion. They cannot doubt, from the justice of their claims, that this demand w ill result in speedy redress; but should thev be disappointed in this reasonable expectation, a state of things will make it the imperative duty of Congress promptly to, consider what further measures may be required by the honor of the nation and the rights of our in jured fellow citizens. Ordered, That 2,000 extra copies of the above report be printed. Inih x of FoKiuiiN Guaix. What is the reason that foreigners can find a market for their grain in this country ? Within these two days, 0000 bushels of wheat have arrived from Marseilles; GOOD do. from Bremen, 100 lots of do. from D antzic, and 1 1,000 bushels of rye from Trieste. But a few years since such a fact as this would have been considered an incredible; phenomenon.
