Indian Editorial Convention. This conveation met at Indianapolis, on the 29th ult. A respectable number of Editors were in attendance, and we learn from the Indiana Journal, that harmony and good feeling pervaded the deliberations throughout. We have not room for the entire proceedings this week, and therefore

give only the Report of the committee appointed to prepare business for the ConTention, which is as follows : Mr. Harnett, on behalf of the general committee appointed to prepare business

for the action of the Convention, made me following report: . If the existence of our liberties depends, (as most undoubtedly it does,) upon that degree of intelligence in the people which -win" enable them to be accurately informed in all matters relating to the general government, in order that their action at the ballot box may pe appropriate to every national exigency, no one can doubt the necessity of rendering the organs pure through which such intelligence passes political periodicals are those organs.

itors. Resolved, That editors should respect constitutional law and order, hold public faith inviolate, contemn anarchy, commend virtue and patriotism, frown upon vice and immorality, and discountenance the efforts of demagogues who would agitate a whole

community, and operate upon the lowest and most grovelling passions of the uninfor

med oortion of the Deople, with a view of

gaining power and official station. Resolved, That, while editors may honpstlv rliffor in nolitical matters, discussions

Whereas, great loss and damage occur to employers in the neglect of proper attention to labor, the corrupting of apprentices, &.c, by means of immoral and disorderly workmen, therefore, Resolved, That it be recommended to the editors and publishers of Indiana to employ no habitually intemperate, or otherwise notorious immoral workmen.

enterprizes must be executed by loans from other regions, and the interest upon these loans must be defrayed annually from some sources within the State. And it must also be apparent to every one that has given the subject any attention, that taxation must, during the progress of the construction of these works be resorted to. And it is now becoming a question of no ordinary interest, among our fellow citi-

LIEUTEN ANT GOVERNOR. It will be seen, from the subjoined article, that our fellow citizen, Col. Pepper, declines being a candidate for Lieutenant Governor of this State, for reasons therein set forth. We regret this, for various reasons; one of which is that Col.

the disseminator of true political information. Upon this subject, your committee would offer a few remarks.

If a newspaper is to be of any service if it is to effect any useful end, it is requisite in the first place that its character

should insure the confidence ot community. In order to attain this character, conductors of Journals must rigidly adhere to truth avoid all misrepresentations discard violent expressions calculated to advance party at the expense of private feeling, or to gratify personal malice in defiance of existing facts. Calm, diginified, and argumentative language must supply the place of acrimonious, abusive assertions, and a careful regard to authority be observed in giving publicity to any matter of moment. By adhering to such rules.

implicit confieencc will be obtained falsehood repressed, and truth circulated. Your committee would therefore recommend the adoption of resolutions tending to the accomplishment of these results resolutions whereby political misrepresentations, unbecoming epithets in relation to

public functionaries, and imprudent publications of passing rumors, may be made .subjects of such penalties as the Convention have power to inflict. If resolutions of this nature are sanctioned by our body, the State of Indiana will have made a glorious movement the character of her periodicals will be that of faithful recorders of political transactions careful investigators of the existing state of things and cautious diffusers of exciting information. Her ed

itors will be pledged to truth under the penalty of disgrace; and falsehood will be frowned down promptly by all parties. Naked facts will be before the public, and arguments from these facts, the weapons of party. By this means, community will be accurately informed and properly prepared to act upon its information. This much in reference to the press considered in a national point of view a lew words in reference to its local tendencies. State legislation frequently fails to meet the entire wishes of its subjects. Under such circumstances appeals are sometimes

made from the sovereign power to the people, of an exciting nature. Such means to accomplish a repeal of oppressive laws, your committee deem highly injudicious; inasmuch as they arc calculated to excite a spirit of sedition and resistance to the civil authorities of the Commonwealth, altogether incompatible with the welfare and peace of society. Your committee would therefore suggest the propriety of adopting such measures as to you may seem best, the most effectually to repress inflammato

ry publications of this nature; reserving to editors at all times the right to discuss the propriety or impropriety of laws in a fair and patriotic manner. Newspapers considered in a local light, have another important effect thev reach

the hrc-sides of individuals are read in their families; and hence should be replete with useful matter chaste moral sentiment instructive articles, and free from vulgar language personal altercations, irritating allusions to neighberhood transactions, and every thing that may not in some degree be directly beneficial to their readers; we would therefore suggest that such resolutions may be adopted as will insure a portion of the editorial labor of the State to be devoted to common schools, education.

&c., and by means of which, all vulgarities, slanders, and iritating controversies may be effectually repressed. Your committee would also advise that an organization of the editorial corps be kept extant,

witn a view the better to enforce and amend our system. In conclusion your committee deem it a duty which the convention owes itself, to adopt such resolutions as shall secure to our Journals that recompeuse to which bv a rigid adherence to the regulations above suggested, they will most undeniably merit. Your committee submit for adoption the following resolutions : Resolved, That the Editors of Indiana now in Convention, and those who have eignified their assent to conform to the decisions of this Convention, associate under the title of Indiana Association of Editors, and pledge themselves to abide the rules and by-laws which may be adopted by the Association when regularly convened. Resolved, That a central corresponding executive committee of five members be elected to hold their office for one year, or I ftwf"8"' elected; whose duty it shall bo to carry the Mwlata3 ?f the

forming editorial duties.

to take a high moral stand ; and instead of

catering for v itiated public appetite, they

should endeavor to givo a healthful action

and useful direction to public mind. Resolved, That the publishing of prospectuses for eastern journals, and thus giving to them circulation to the exclusion ot western journals, tends to lessen the patronage and cripple the energies of the

western press, to discourage improvement in mechanical skill, to prevent the devotion of talent to the editorial department; and

that the editors ot Indiana will not publish such prospectuses except as ordinary advertisements. Resolved, That it is the interest and duty of the people to give a liberal support to the newspaper press, so that it may not be driven by poverty to prostitute its powers to subserve the unhallowed purposes of demagogues and office-seekers: but on the

contrary that it may devote its energies to the public good, trample on corruption, diffuse intelligence and knowledge, allay public excitement, guard carefully the "rights of the people, expose error, and infuse into the public mind a love of country and a devotion to its best interests.

Resolved, That low appeals to the passions of community in regard to legislative enactments, calculated to disturb the order, happiness and harmony of society by placing the law-making power in an oppressive light, and by such means sewing the seeds of sedition, are unworthy the dignity of the press, and the usefulness of its objects and that any editor who shall make his paper the vehicle of such mob-stirring appeals, shall be discountenanced by the profession. Resolved, That any editor who shall be guilty of falsehood or misrepresentation knowingly, and upon any subject or subjects whatever, or who shall circulate exciting rumors without strong grounds ot evidence that such rumors are well founded, shall by so offending be deemed without our pale, and be discountenanced by the

proiession. Resolved, That any editor who uses unbecoming epithets or vulgar language in his paper, shall be discountenanced bv the

profession. Resolved, That inasmuch as legislation seems to have failed in preventing the practice of treating with spirituous liquors at our elections; and viewing the custom as fraught with dangerous consequences, un

less dv me influence ot public opinion, the members of this convention feel that they would be wanting in duty, did they not seize upon the opportunity to declare their conviction of its utter impropriety, and the danger of its ultimately contributing to

terests of the State as they would those of a prudent individual, and who are determined to hold to a strict accountability those public agents who had held the purse strings of the people in their hands, and so prodigally scattered their money to the four winds) have many of them selected a more

summary and effectual manner of expres

sing their sentiments than through conven

tions. The ballot box, the palladium of our liberty, is the channel thiough which they intend to be heard. This effectual and unerring test of public sentiment, will, on the first Monday in August next, be heard in accents of thunder. The echo of its reverberating tones will be heard from one end of the State to the other, penetra

ting the deepest caverns of corruption, and causing the purchased tools of wily speculators, and the corrupt and bought up advocates of a corrupt system of internal improvement to tremble like an aspen leaf, in the high places they so unworthily occupy. Let no one any longer doubt the possibility of prostrating this enormous system of intrigue and speculation. The unfor

tunate condition ot the State, and the great danger of ultimate bankruptcy, ruin and disgrace, with which we are no w threatened, have awakened in the bosom of every Indianian, a feeling of deep and abiding interest for the welfare of the State, and when he approaches the polls it will be

with an eye single to the correction of existing abuses. Indianian.

STATE IMPROVEMENTS. It was our intention to have devoted some time this summer to the consideration of the Internal Improvement policy of our State, but. as we announced during the winter that we contemplated retiring from this press, we have been compelled to fore

go that duty. Moreover we find the sub

ject has been so ably and lucidiy treated

in the papers trom w hich the following extracts are taken that little could remain for us to do. We may, however, if we have time and opportunity, recur to the

subject again. We believe we give utterance to the general sentiment in this part

of the State in saying thatall parties, without reference to politics arc decidedly in favor a system of classification which can alone retrieve our state from the bankruptcy and ruin that arc impending over her. Wherever the subject has been discussed among us we have not heard a variance of opinion on this head, and we are much mistaken if the same general opinion does hot prevail generally, at least where sectional interest docs not govern. Michigan city Gazette.

SANTA ANNA. The following interesting item of intelligence, from Mexico, is copied from the New Orleans Bee of 29th May : "We learn with great pleasure, by the schr. Mechanic, from Matamoras, that all the American vessels with their passengers and crews, which had been captured and detained at that place, have been lib

erated by order of General Bustamente, and that the commander of the Mexican fleet was arrested and imprisoned at Vera Cruz, for having captured these vessels. This is a striking proof of the magnanimity of Bustamcnte's character, and an omen of returning amity between ihc two nations. General Santa Anna was still at his

plantation, near Vera Cruz, and consequently the report of his having been taken to the city of Mexico is untrue."

TO THE PUBLIC.

Having last winter, at the solicitation of a respectable number of my fellow citizens, consented to be a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and unexpected events of a public nature, connected, as I believe, with tho welfare of the State, having sinco transpired, it becomes necessary for me to decide whether I ought to gratify my inclination, by complying with the wishes of esteemed friends, or yield to a conviction that public duty requires me to decline. The latter course being the only one re-

concileable to my own feelings and judgment, I adopt it, and hereby give notice that I am no longer a candidate for Lieutenant Governor. A. C. PEPPER. May 27th, 1S37.

HIGH TAXES. A general complaint is heard from every section of the state, against the cxhorbitant tax directed to be levied by an act of the last session of the Legislature, tor the purpose of paying the interest upon our internal improvement loans. These complaints arc not altogether without cause. The magnitude of the state debt, which now is and will hereafter be created for internal improvements; and the great length of time that must necessarily elaspe before our works will be productive, seems not to have been duly considered by the Legislature at the time of the passage of the Internal Improvements Bill. That our splendid scheme of Internal improvement, so nobly conceived and so gloriously begun, will, when finished, redound to the honor and glory of the State, the enemies of the measure themselves arc

compelled to admit. But to finish with as

little burthen to the people, and to extend

the system w hen the interest of the state imperiously demands, it should be the study

ot all legistators and statesmen. The his

tory of the past should admonish us that the utmost prudence and nrenmsnecf ion

arc requisite to complete what we have already commenced. High taxes for a scries of years to construct works for the benefit of posterity, will not be acquiesced in by the people". It then behooves the

tude uncalled for bv the necessities or re

individually use all civil and constitutional means to have the works of said system so classified, that only one or two of the most important works may be prosecuted at this time, and thereby relieve the people of the State in some measure of the enormous burthen of taxation, to w hich the present "mammoth system," if prosecuted, would inevitably subject them. Resolved, That if said works arc so classified, wc will cordially unite our efforts for their prosecution. Resolved, That wc approve of the method as adopted by other counties, of holding a "State Convention for the purpose of combining the feelings and views of the people of the State on this subject.11

Resolved, That, as the happiness and liberties of a people depend upon their virtue and intilligencc, and the continuation of these blessings upon the education of all the children of the land, the editors of Indiana will appropriate a portion of their columns under the head common schools to the subject of universal education. Resolved, That as the practice on the part of apprentices, of going from office to office, without passing through a regular course of apprenticeship and instruction, is calculated not only to work injustice and injury to the employer, but also to throw upon community a class of incompetent and ignorant workmen, therefore it should

By adopting this policy before our works arc all completed, the state instead of raising a tax to pay interest, will receive a revenue from such as are finished more than equal to the expectations of the most sanguine friends of the measure, and more than sufficient to pay the interest on all loans necessary to be made.

This is a subject which for the last three years elicited considerable discussion, both in the halls of our Legislature, the circles of neighbors, aud other places of rendezvous.

SPECULATION. Amidst the crowd of evils with which we are beset, it is cheering to find here and there something from which comfort may be extracted as promising future good. Speculation in all its branches and departments, from the purchase and sale of the vast prairies of the West, gold, silver and

lead mines, down to the penny worth of

candy, has been a besetting siu of our people. The lurn that affairs have taken will, it is hoped, divert some at least from the buying, selling and exchanging system,and make them apply themselves to "legitimate hard work. The sweat of a man's browmay be rather saltish for the taste, but we may rest assured there is nothing like it, for procuring enduring comfort and pros-

EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION. We cheerfully acquiesce in the general rules and regulations, adopted by the late Editorial Convention, for the government of the fraternity in this State; and promise to use our utmost exertions to faithfully obey and aid in carrying them into execution. And wc hercbv authorize the Central Committee of Editors, at Indianapolis, to record cur name as.a member of the Indiana Association of Editors. Wc arc well pleased with all of the res

olutions adopted by the Convention; but we are injro particularly pleased with the one relative to the publication of prospectuses for Eastern newspapers. Ever since we have had the management of this paper, wc have labored as faithfully as nu Editor could labor, to induce our brethren to abandon this practice; but it had little or no effect. Wc no w h pc that the resolution alluded to will check this ridiculous practice at once; and wc intend to notice how many abide by it.

j Wc think the Convention should have aj doptcd some rule in regard to the ptiblicatiou of candidates' names anil circulars.

Editors are often mistreated by candidates, and dealt w ith very unfairly, and we think there ought to be some general rule app'n cable to this, as well as other things. Thisx however, if deemed expedient, can be acted upon at a future meeting of the Association.

GENUINE HOAX. Some of the Cincinnati Editors are certainly the most hoaxible people in the world. They deal out news without even once thinking, or even hinting, that it may not be true. The last hoax is a blow up in Mr. Vax Burex's cabinet. The Evening Post last week published an account of it, together with the cause thereof, and copied an article purporting to be from tho Globe, denouncing Messrs. Forsyth and Poixsett, the Secretaries which the hoax said had resigned. It turns out to be all fal-de-ral! and the papers aro compelled to acknowledge that they were completely hoaxed.
