THE PARTIXB OF THE FRIENDS. When shall we three meet again ? When shall we three meet again? Oft shall glowing hope expire; Oft shall wearied love retire: Oft shall death and sorrow reign, Ere we three shall meet again. Though beneath this youthful pine, Moss may grow and ivy twine, Though our auburn locks turn grey, Thinned by many a toil spent day; Srill may this loved bower remain, 'Till we three shall meet again. Though in distant lands we sigh, Parched beneath a hostile sky; Though the deep between us rolls, Frendship shall unite our souls; And in fancy's wide domain, Oft shall we three meet again. When the dreams of life arc fled, When its wasted lamp is dead: When in cold oblivion's shade, Beauty, power, and fume are laid, here immortal spirits reign There mav we three meet again. From the Indiana Journal. Messrs. Editors: As our State is rapidly filling up by emigration from almost every quarter, a brief outline of such principal laws, as form the characteristic features in the policy of the country, without noticing those municipal regulations which 'are changed at almost every session of the legislature, may not be unacceptable to manv of the readers of your paper, who! have lately arrived in the State, and have not yet had an opportunity of making themselves acquainted with our institutions. I have heard several say they were much at a loss in this particular, when they first came to this Slate a few years ago, and I presume some ethers arc now in a like situation. Verv respectfully, yours. E. L. J). Bro'wnstown, July, 1S37. LAWS OF IXDIAXA. In Indiana the power of the Executive is but small, and its patronage almost nothing. The great majority of public officers are elected by the people directly, or by their representatives in Genera! Assembly. Appropriations of public money seldom pass through the hands of the Governor, or are made subject to his order; but arc usually placed under the immediate care and control of the persons appoin ted to disburse them. I lie Governor is elected by the qualified electors, and holds his office during three years, and is not capable of holding it longer than six in any term of nine years. Salary fifteen hundred dollars, which cannot be increased or diminished, during the term for which he shall have been elected. lie must be at least thirty years of age, and have resided in the State five years next before his election; unless absent on publie business. A Lieutenant Governor is elected in the - same manner as the Governor, continues in omce ior iue same umc, ana possesses' the same qualifications. He only receives ! pay per day (.91 00.) during ihe session of the legislature. He is president of the Senate, and Loonies governor in case of - a vacancy in the latter office. The courts are modelled upon a plan somewhat resembling the judiciary system of Kentucky, There is a supremo court, composed of the three judges, with appellate jurisdiction only except in chancery cases, in which tbe president of the circuit court is interested or prejudiced; in all uch cases the supreme court has original jurisdiction. Two Judges form a quorum. In ihe decision of appeals from inferior tribunals, where the co-Tt is equally divided, the suit is continued to the next term, and if then the court are still divided, the judgment or decree of the inferior court is affirmed. Two terms of this court arc held annually at the seat of government, each continues thirty days; unless the business before the court shall sooner be disposed of, and may be continued beyond that time should the judges deem it expedient and necessary. I he terms commence on the last Mondays in May and November. All its functions as a court are perf rmed in bank. This court appoints its own clerk. The salary of each judge is fifteen hundred dollars. The next in rank is the circuit court. The whole state is divided into nine circuits, in each of which a President, and in every county two Associate Judges constitute the circuit court. Two terms are held in each year in every count'. Tbis court has original jurisdiction in all criminal cases, and in civil suits, where the amount in controversy is more than one hundred dollars. It has also concurrent jurisdiction w ith justices of the peace, in cases of foreign attachment, where no real property is attached, and where the plaintiff's demand shall not exceed the sum of one hundred dollars. In all actions founded on contract, except debt and assumpsit, this court has original jurisdiction when the sum exceeds fifty dollars; in all actions founded in tort, when the sum ex ceeds twenty dollars, except in actions of troter, replevin, trespass ri et amis. in which specified actions it has original ju risdiction when the sum exceeds fifty dollars, and not exceeding one hundred dollars exclusive of interest and costs, the1 circuit court and justices have concurrent jurisdiction, and the plaintiff in such ac

tions shall be at liberty to commence suit either before a justice, or in the circuit

court at his election. An appeal lies to it Irom the commissioners- court, and justices of the peace. I rom the probate court, appeals may be taken either to the circuit court, or to the supreme court. The clerk is elected by the people and holds his offlee for seven years. There is a chancery side to this court, l ne decisions ot the circuit court may be received in the supreme court. Salary of the president judge one thousand dollars annually. The associaie juages receive lor uicir services two dollars per day, while attending the court, or acting in the capacity of judges, to be paid by the respective counties in whicn mey reside. There is a prosecuting attorney in each circuit, elected by the legislature, who prosecutes in criminal cases, on the part of the State. 1 he prosecutor of the filth judicial circuit, which includes the seat of government is further to prosecute or defend on the part of the State, all pleas whatsoever that mav be appealed or brought up by writ of error to the supreme court. Salary tor the prosecutor oi me fifth circuit, two hundred dollars and fees. Each of the other prosecutors receive one hundred and fifty dollars and fees. A probate judge is elected by the people in each, county, who holds a court of record called the "Probate court:" This court receives the probate of wills; grants

letters of aommi.tiation ; settles the ac- State, if the license be given by the circounts of intestates, and has jurisdiction cuit judges. No particular term of study,

in most cases concerning administrators, or of residence, is prescribed, lestimoexecutors. and orphans. Bv a late act of nials of good moral character arc required.

Assembly, justices of the peace have the same jurisdiction in all cases where exec utors, administrators, or guardians are plantiffs, that they might if such plaintiffs were suing in their own right: Provided, however, that where any defendant shall plead anv matter, sett off, payment, or oth er special matter in bar to such executors, administrators or guardian's cause of action, the planum may after such plea, require the justice of the peace to certify all the proceeus to tne proper prooate court, there to be determined as other causes in the said court. The probate judge receives for Ins services three dollars per day while m I 11- . rni 1 . rlr noiuing court. mere are iour terms oi this court in each year, and it shall at each term sit six days if business requires it. The county commissioners court, is a court of record, composed of three commis sioners, one elected every year by the people. Its jurisdiction is confined to the concerns of the counties respectively. It levies the county taxes: appoints a county treasurer, and settles his accounts; ap propriates the funds of the county; estab lishes townships; selects jurors for the cir cuit courts; establishes, alters, or abolishes roads, divides the several townships in to as manv highway districts as the com missioners may deem necessary: where any vacancy happens in any township of fice, the board of commissioners fill such vacancy until the next annual election for township offices: and have a general superintendance of county business. : There are five terms of tbis court in each ear, and it sits at each term six days if business requires it. J'ach commissioner receives fr his services, while attending court two dollars per day Justices of the peace arc elected everv five years by the people, for which pur pose the counties are divided into townrmps, m each ot which two justices are elected, except that which includes the county seat, in which there ave four. The jurisdiction of justices in criminal cases is co-extensive with the county; but in civil suits no person is bound to answer to any summons, capias, or other process, issued by a justice, in any other township, than the one in which the defendant actually resides, or where the debt was contracted, or the cause of action accrued, of where the defendant may be found, unless there shall be no nrstice who can legally issue such summons, capias or oilier process,

Thcciul jurisdiction of our justices, ex- glary, robbery, grand or petit larceny, fortends to cases where the amount in con- cry, counterfeiting, arson, bribery, pcr-

troversy is not more than one hundred dollars. with some restrictions and limitations : to anv sum not exceeding one hundred dollars in actions of debt and assumpsit; uoi excecuing titty dollars in all other ac tions founded on contract; not exceeding . j. .li ii r- i , a iweiu um;irs, m an actions founded on tort, except m actions of trover, replevin, ana trespass ri r? e.rmis, m which their jurisdiction extends to fifty dollars: in all cases ot contessed judgment, their jurisdicuon extenus to one Hundred dollars, and from confessed judgments there is no anpeal: In all cases where executors, administrators, or guardians are plaintiff , i,istices of the peace have the same iurisdiction that thev might have if such plaintiffs were suing in their own right: I'rovuled. however, that where any defendant shall nlead anv matter of payment, set off. nr other special matter in bar to such executors, administrators, or guardian s cause of action, the plaintiff may after such plea, require the pisticc to certily all the pro ceedings to the proper probate court, there to be determined. A justice has concurrentjurisdiction with the circuit-court in actions of debt and assumpsit, where the sum demanded is over fifty and not exceeding one hundred dollars", exclusive of interest and costs: and in cases ot lorenrn . . attachment, where no real property is at tached, and where the plaintiff's demand does not exceed one hundred dollars. An action of debt may also be brought before

a pistice, on tlic official bond of constables or justices, for any breach of the condition of such bond, where the amount of damage claimed does not exceed one hundred dollars. In trials inactions of debt or as sumpsit, before a justice, either party has a right to call upon his adversary to testifv as a disinterested witness mirht do; and upon refusal of either party to answer, the justice shall enter up judgment as if the matter so charged or pleaded were con fesscd; and in the trial of appeals in such cases in the circuit court, the same provisions shall he adopted and pursued. Tin.mode of compelling parties to testifv against themselves is highly disapproved bv some, who think it militates too much against that prominent feature of the common law, that no one shall be compelled to give testimony against himself; but after a trial of several years, it appears to be conceded that though subject to some objections, it is upon the whole, liable to but little abuse, and satisfactory to the people. Candidates for admission to the bar, are personally examined by two judges of the supreme court,, or bv two circuit judges, and a license from them, constitutes the person receiving it an attorney and counsellor at law, and authorises him to appear in all superior and inferior courts of record in the State, if the license" be given bv judges of the supreme court, and in all the circuit and inferior courts of record of the Any attorney and counsellor at law, residing in any part of the United States, who is of good moral character, may, at any time, on application, be admitted to an examin ation for the degree of an attorney and counsellor within this State. i he lorms ot special pleading are preserved. The practice conforms to that of English courts, as nearly as the difference of our institutions will admit. A negro. Indian, or mulattoe, is not al lowed lo be a witness in any court, or in any case, except in pleas of the State against negroes, mulattocs, or Indians, and civil cases where negroes, mulattocs or t . . Indians alone are parties, livery person other than a negro, having one-forlh part or more of negro blood, or any one whose grandfathers or grandmothers shall have been a negro, shall be deemed a mulattoe. The proceedings formerly had under the common law 'writ of habeas corpus, arc are now regulated bv statute. Ibc act specifies the proceedings under if, and "If any judge shall, afler a proper application is made, rctuse to grant an order tor a writ of habeas corpus, or any officer, or oth er person to whom the same may be di rected, shall refuse obedience to the man date of said writ, he shall forfeit and pay to the person aggrieved a sum not exceed ing five hundred dollars, to be recovered bv action ol debt in any court of record having cognizance thereof." Aliens who are not the subjects of any foreign state, w hich is at the time of mak ing the purchase at war with the United States, may purchase lands, tenements, and hereditaments within this Stale, and to have and hold the same, to them, their heirs, assigns, and legal representatives as fully as natural born citizens can do: Provided, that such alien, shall previous to making such purchase, manifest, by his declaration, made according to the laws of Congress his bona fdc intention of be coming a citizen of the United States. Divorces are granted by the circuit courts, and the facility with which they may be obtained under our laws, is quite is great as is desirable. Besides the ordinary counsel for extremely barbarous and inhuman treatment on the part ol the husband; when the husband for the term of two years has been a habitual drunkaid, and failed for an unreasonable length of time to make provision for his family ana in nil cases where the parties have been guilty of murder, manslaughter, bur J'iry or any other crime, the punishment ot which l , v.'! iiumu uu, on uuuv H-liun, . . n .......

And every person who shall actually light a duel shall be fined in anv sum not exceedinsr five thousand dollars and be imprisoned in the county jail not exceeding one year; and should cither nartv to a duel be killed, the survivor shall be deemed guilty ot murder, and shall suffer death.

Under a general law towns or villages may become inc.orooratod. bv their own act, by consent of a majority of all the I - voters in said town. - The polls are kept open for one day only; the people vote bv ballot. Everv white male citizen of the United States, of full age, having resided in the State

onc year preceding the election is entitled to vole. Every male inhabitant between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years, (per sons exempted by law, or excused by the board doing county business, for good cause shewn excepted,) shall work on the public roads and highways, two days in each year. Male inhabitants owning property may be called upon for a further contribution, in labor or money, in propor

tion to the value ot their property. The legislature has frequently had the subject of public schools before it, and have passed many acts, regulating the same. Some of these acts are lengthy, and somewhat intricate, but it is hoped that experience will ere long enable our lawgivers to improve the system so as to make it meet the wishes of the inhabitants generally. Persons who lay off new towns, or additional lots to towns already laid out, arc required, in every instance, to make a plot or plan of such town or addition, and record the same in the office of the recorder of the county; by which act, the lines and divissions become established bv law. The rate of interest is established bv law, to be six per cent., unless it be agrced in writing to pay a higher rate, but which in no case can exceed ten per cent, per anum. An extensive scheme of internal im provement has been commenced and bids fair for being completed in as short a time as could be reasonably expected. lo see our state, in which but the other day was a howling wilderness, and whose citizens are laboring under all the disad vantages and privations incident lo a new country, boldly engageing in a scheme of internal improvement which would do hon or to the oldest and most wealth state in the union, is truly giatifying. Indiana within twenty years from the time of her organization as a state, has done more for the purpose of increasing the comfort and adding to the wealth of her citizens by facilitating the transportation of mer chandize and the productions of the soil, th;wi any other state in America in the same time. New York and Pennsylvania, the two most populous and wealthy states in our confederacy, although they now afford pleasing and astonishing examples of what civilized and scientific man can perform in surmounting obstacles thrown in lis wav by nature, had vet passed more than a century of their existence before they engaged in their magmficient schemes ot cnicrprize, the completion of which now so much delight and astonish the world. It would appear that the young states of the west, arc not doomed like their elder ;rs cast of the Allcghanies, to pars through a long and feeble infancy until by time they acquire strength and vigor; but that like the fabled goddess of war in an cient mythology, they at once sprung into existence in full maturity, and armed at all points. But there is a good reason for tins diflercnce, the new states are made up of freemen, who chose to act for themselves on all occasions, and to be governed bv laws of their own enacting: while the older states were for many years after their first settlement under the kind guardianship of Great Britian, and were relieved Irom the trouble and vexation ot thinking for themselves, or of interfering with the measures of government. IMIVSICIAN'S. No class of men in the regular discharge of duty, incur danger more frequently than the honest physcian. INcver recreant to his trust, there is no form of malignant disease with which he lails to become ac 1 quaintcd; no hospital Crowded with conI tagious death, that he dares not waht free My through Us wards. His vocation is a mong the sick and dying; he is a familiar friend of those who are suffering under in feclious disease; and he never shrinks from the horror of observing it under all its aspects. He must do so with calmness: he must not suffer his equanimity to be disturbed ; as he inhales the poisoned atmosphere, ho must cooly reflect on the I . 1 . - . . I . . .. 1 . i , 41. A r.i , 1 1 .. I liieuiiueo iun-u uiiiy iniudiu uiu ouia r ings that he cannot remedy. Nay, after I death has ensued, he must search with the dissecting knile lor the hidden cause and the phenomena of disease, if so bv multiplying his own perils he may discover some alleviation lor the afflictions of huinanity. And why is this t Uecausc the phvscian is indifferent to death? Because he is steeled and hardened against the tear l it f ficcausc he despises, or pretends to despise it? By no means. As a class of men, it is the especial business of phy scians to value lite; to combat death; to cherish the last spark of animated exis tencc. And the habit of caring for the lives ot others, is tar irom leaning mem to an habitual indifference to their own. The instinct of life displays itself in the phvscian as in other men; ho shuns every danger, but such as tuo giory oi ms pifossion commands him to dcly. London Monthly Review. GOODNESS OF HEART.

as if it were sent by Providence to restore the equilibrium, that is disturbed by the chances of human life. Goodness of heart is a" domestic virtue; it always dwells with us; especially in the most familiar, habitual, and obscure relations of life, and this is what tenders it most difficult. Wc are opposed and deceived by men, bv events, by all that is external; and within, a thousand secret causes excite discontent and chagrin. How, under so many capricious influences, can this equable disposition be preserved? There is only one way: we must deliver the soul itself from internal agitation, direct our eyes incessantly to a horizon more elevated than the scene of daily cirenmstances, and live in that region of Love whence flows unmingled serenity. Truth and duty are alone immutable, and nothing is sustained in the character, which is not founded on them. There is no perfect consistency, but that which rests upon enlightened conviction ; even habit is not enough, for habit being connected with daily circumstances, is disconcerted by unexpected temptations. POWER OF IMAGINATION". An honest New England farmer, started on a very cold day in winter, with his sled and oxen into the forest half a mile from home for the purpose of chopping a load of wood. Having felled a tree, he drove the team alongside and commenced chopping it up. By an unlucky hit he brought the w hole bit of the axe across his foot, with a sliding stroke. The immense gash so alarmed him as nearly deprived him of strength. He felt the warm blood filling his shoe. With great difficulty he succeeded in rolling himself on the sled, and started the oxen for home. As soon as he reached the door, ho called for help. His terrified wife and daughter with much effort lifted him into the house as he was wholly unable to help himself saying his foot was nearly severed from his leg. He was laid carefully on the bed groaning all the while very bitterly. His wife hastily prepared dressings, and removed the shoe and sock, expecting to see a desparatc wound when lo! the skin was not even broken. Before going out in the morning he wrapped his feet in red flannel lo protect them from the cold; the gash laid this open to his view, and he thought it flesh and blood. His reason for not correcting the mistake, till the pain and loss of power, which attends a real wound followed. Man often sutlers more from imaginary evils, than from real ones. Rochvillc Intelligencer. REVOLUTIONARY ANECDOTE. The f jllowing characteristic anecdote of John Langdcn is given in Chastcllux's Travels an edition of which is recently published in New York. At the time of Burgoyne's descent into the State of New York from Canada, Mr. Langdon was a member ot the council or senate of New Hampshire. Going to the it i i . i council cuamoer, ne perceived me mem bers about to discuss some affairs of little consequence, and addressed them as tollows : "Ucntlemcn, you may taiK as long as yon please, but l Know thru the enemy tic on our frontiers, and I am going to mount mv horse, to combat with my iel ow citizens." The greatest part of the members followed him and joined General Gates at Saratoga. As he was marching day and night, reposing himself only in the woods, a negro servant, who attended him said, "Master, you are hurting your self; but no matter, you are going to fight lor liberty I should suiter patiently also if I had liberty to defend." "Don't let that stop you," replied Col. Lnngdon, "from this moment you are free. The negro followed hiin and behaved with courage, and has never quilted him. Anecdote of John Randolph. John Randolph, some years since, when in the midst of a speech upon some important subjects in the hall of representatives, was called to order repeatedly bv some member whose talents consisted mainly in screaming order, order- Mr. Randolph elevated himsclfon one log, and bending over his desk, pointing that finger of his at the member w ho had called him to order, addressed the speaker thus: Mr. Speaker Some years ago, as I was journeying over the mountains in Virginia, I called at a public house for refreshments for myself and horse. While setting in the bar-room waiting for dinner rny attention was attracted by the cry of cuckoo, cuckoo. Oil turning my eyes in the direction from which the sound came, I observed that it proceeded from something in thshape of a bird, which was appended to a cloclv that stood in the corner of the room. The machinery of the clock was so arranged, that this bird at every revolution of the minute baud, appeared through a little door, which How open at the striking of each hour, and cried cuckoo, cuckoo, and immediately disappeared. Mr. Speaker (continued the, eccentric gentleman from Roanoke, in his peculiar tone of voice, with his significant point ol the finger both inimitable) i lie gentleman by whom I am now called to order, reminds mc very much of the automaton cuckoo, lie has been a member of this bodv some years, and the only expression that crer escaped hts lips m my presence, j were order, order, era tr.

LAW LATIN". Somewhere in this State, a few years since, a constable was sent to arrest a person, but unfortunately failed to accomplish his task. He however having a great idea of the dignity of his thief-catching profession, was anxious to make his 'return'' to the Magistrate in Latin; and wrote the following sentence on the back of the writ, 'non est comc-at-ebus, et railum swampo.' The good magistrate read it, scratched his head in perplexity, thought it meant one thing then another, but finally gave it up and asked the Constable to explain the unintiUigiblc sentence. 'Why, may it please your honor,' replied tho'Constable, 'you know I went arter the rascal and could"nt catch him, because he run to a swamp and crossing it on a rail, got away from me; therefore, "non est coine-at-ehus' means I could not catch the scoundrel, and 'et railum swampo,' on a rail. The Judge bowed profoundly, thanked him for his learned kindness, and promised, whenever there was a vacancy in the professorship of languages to recommend him for the station. Paictuckct Chron. FONDNESS OF CHILDREN". Fondness for children denotes not only a kind heart, but, a guiltless one. The groat and good have always been remarkable for their fondness for children. Agesilaus, King of Spsrta, was the most generous of monarchs, and the mast tender of fathers. Diverting himself one day with riding on a stick with his children, and being surprised by a friend in the action, he desired him not to mention it till he was a father. Henry the IV. of France, taught his children to call p;.pa, or father, and sir, in the new fashion. One day going on all fours, with the Dauphin on his back, an ambassador suddenly entered, when Henry looked up, "Monsieur Ambassadeur, have you any children?" "Yes, sir" replied he. "Very well; then I will finish my race round the chamber." A forcible argument. "Gentlemen of the Jury," said a Iloosicr lawyer, addressing a real shel-hark itirv. '-T snv thnt .t j are magnanimous sun shines in the heavens though vc cant see it case it's behind cloud; but you know if, though I can't prove it; so my client who rises airly and hunts koons like an honest man, has a good case though he can't prove it; now, if you believe what I tell you about the sun, you arc bound on your oaths to believe what I tell you I about my client's case, and if you don't, then you call me a liar, and that I'll be squatawa'd if I'll stand, any how; so if you don't want to swear als and have no trouble, you'd better give us our case. -Condenser. Harrowin Tale. The Alton Specta tor of the 15th tilt, gives a most harrowing account of the wandering and death of a small boy about three years of age, of Edwardsnlle, Illinois. He wandered from home into the woods bordering upon a creek, into which he was supposed to have survived four days in the woods, as his tracks were discovered on the fourth day of his disappearance. The absensc of the child caused intense interest with the people of the town. The Spectator says there were not less than 400 or 500 persons engaged in searching for the child, on the third and fourth days. He disappeared on Monday, and was found on Friday about 2 o'clock P. M. in the creek, a short distance from where his trail was seen. The British frigate Belvidcre, which has recently arrived at New York, from the West Indies, was not present at the capture of the frigate President, towards the close of the last war, as has been stated; she was the vessel chased by commodore Hodge rs and his squadron at the very outset of that contest. In fact, the first hostile gun of the war was fired on thatoecassion. The whole affair was a brilliant piece of nautical skill and bravery, and excited the admiration of both British and American officers at the time. The Belidcre was commanded by captain Byron. She narrowly escaped capture, and was the fust to carry ihe intelligence of the war to Halifax. Ravenna. v remarkable eact. This town in Ohio, stands on a fixed and moderately elevated tract, directly on the dividing line between the waters which run into the Ohio, and those which run into ike Erie. The old court-house is so sit uated that the rain which falls on the north side of the roof passes into the Cuyahoga, and is discharged into the St. Lawrence; while that which falls on the south side passes into the Mahoning, and is finally poured into the Gulf of Mexico- so that this house m a rainy day, is a fountain of waters for two opposite hemispheres of the globe. There is one noble trait observable in mankind all over the world. The man who has been unjustly injured excites the sympathy of his fellows, and nething ad vances a cause so much as persecution ot its support. The world cannot become wholly depraved while such is the disposition of mankind. Men are often treated like barrels lm empty ones stood up, and the full oes laid down.
