tried before a Justice of the Feace and held to bail in the sum of four thousand dollars, for his appearance at the next term of the Morgan Circuit Court. His father and brothers, we learn, went his bail. Wo will not uttempt to impugn the motives of the officer who permitted him to bail, but we will venture to say that no man (or moro properly speaking a demon in human shape) who is guilty of so heinous a crime should ever be permitted to bail, and so long as our peace officers show such lenity, our innocent citizens have no protection from the ruthless hand of the assassin- The people- should take these things in hand, and see that the law in such aggrivated cases, is permitted to take its due course give them no possible chance to escape if the peace officers will not do their duty, the people musl and will Blooming ton Post. LAW OF INDIANA. An act to prohibit the making, issuing, or circulating small notes or bills. Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That all bills of any denomination whatever, hereafter to be issued by any individual or individuals, company or corporation in this state, other than the state bank of Indiana, either in the form of certificates receipts for the deposite of money, or of promises to pay the bearer, or any specific person, any sum whatever, for the purpose of being used as a circulating medium, or as a substitute for bank notes, shall be deemed as fraudulent, and absolutely void. , , ' .... ,. Sec. 2. All contracts, notes, bonds, or obligations, or agreements of nnv kind whatever, hereafter to be
made, based or lounuini unm mc j bills, certificates, or receipts above specifie, , or ot which the consideration shall be either in whole or in part the issue, 'use, or possession of any such bills, certificates or receipts, shall be deemed fraudulent and absolutely void. . . Sec. 3." Any person, who shall hereafter, either upon his own account, or us agent for another, or as the agent or officer of any company or corporation, other than the state batik of Indiana, issue or put n circulation, any bills, certificates, or receipts, deigned to be used as a circulating medium, or as a substitute for bank notes as above specified, Khali bo liable to indictment fur the same, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than one hundred dollars, nor more than five hundred dollars for each ffSEc!"4. That from and after the first day of June next, all payments made within the state, whereof the whole or a part shall be made in notes, checks, drafts, certificates of deposit, or any other paper of individuals, or of corporations, (other than the notes o the state bank of Indiana, or of the chartered banks o cither states) of denominations less than five dollars and made in the form of bank notes for circulation, shall be utterly null and void. THEBANKRUPT BILL. " We congratulate the country the whole country on the prospect of a speedy establishment of a Bankrupt law. The bill passed the Senate on Saturday, and it is confidently believed that it will pass the House. We congratulate the North and the South, the East and the West; for it is a national measure, which will be beneficial to every section of the Union. We congratulate' all political parties, for all will share alike in Its beneficient operation. We congratulate both debtor and creditor, for it is designed for the benefit and advantage of both. A year since, the creditor portion of the community looked upon the measure with coldness and indifference, in some instances with aversion. We are glad to learn, from various quarters, that a further consideration of the subject has not only reconciled them to it, but made them generally its warm advocates. We see gentlemen here of great business intelligence and respectability, representing creditor interests, urging its speedy passage in their behalf. The details of the bill were matured by the benate at a former session, after a. great deal of discussion And critical examination of its principles. It is, per
haps, as perfect now as calm, considerate legislation, uninfluenced by party feeling, can well make it. It is difficult on such a subject to make the details such as to meet the views of all. It claims, therefore, a little yielding of opinion, and a spirit of harmony and compromise. That it will receive it in its further progress we do not doubt. It certainly will from its On the final passagein theSenate, Mr. Tallmadge, Mr. Berrien, and Mr. Walker, ably and eloquently vindicated its principles. The first addressed the Senate in defence of the measure generally. The two latter gentlemen spoke in reply to objections made by Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Tallmadge estimated that there were halt a million of Americnn citizens who would come under its provisions as debtors, and that there were not less than two millions who would share in its beneficence. It comes with healing in its wings. What other act of Congress did ever bring with it such an amount of blessing and benefaction! We ask attention to this very able and lucid speech, which will be found in another column. It is due to the opinions of a Senator who has devoted himself to the public service it will enlighten many a mind, and dissipate many a prejudice. . . Is it an objection to the law, that in particular instances it may be attended with evils, and that the good it will produce will not be wholly without alloy? What important law was ever enacted, to the favorable and just operation of which there was not some exception? Government itself, in its best form, has its evils. It is the predominating good that is sought lobe attained by all laws. This is the last struggle of the unfortunate debtor. If he fails now, his bondage is hopeless and eternal! Hopeless! We trust not. When he shall learn who are his friends, and who his foes, ho will then make ne further effort: and who, that himself prizes liberty, can doubt what price the oppressed debtor will next offer for his emancipation! Madisonian. From the National Intelligencer. THE FINANCIAL QUESTION. DEBT OR NO DEBT. ' The following statement will elucidate this much disputed question. The materials are taken from public documents, the correctness of which will not be disputed, and the arrangement of the materials will speak for and sustain itself: It appears from the annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury, dated December 3, 1933, (first page,) that "on the 1st of January, 1837, the balance in the Treasury, exclusive of trust funds and those belonging to the Post Office," was $46,337,635) 6b It further appears from the general account of receipts and expenditures for the year 1S36, (14th page of the account current,) that the "balance in the Treasury, Dec. 31, 1835," was S-16, 703,436 00 Deduct from this the
lr mnv hf wp.ll to remark here that
the moneys belonging to the Post Office Department are never included in the general accounts of receipts and expenditures of the Treasury Depart
ment On the third page of said Treasury report the sum of three instalments, deposited with the States during 1837, appears to have been $29,101,044 i)l And on same page it is stated that the balance 5if cash- therein exhibited contains "about 1,100,000 00 due chiefly from various insolvent banks." In other words, unavailable funds. Deduct the aggregate of these two sums (both being, in fact, unavailable) from the up
hove balance on Jst January, 1837,
viz:
29,201,644 97
And we shall have a clear available cash balance of $17,136,043 39 on 1st January, 1837, applicable to the payment of pre-existing liabilities for appropriations unexpended on that day the amount of which will be shown presently. . In connexion with this exhibit of the ascertained balance in the Treasury on 1st January, 1837, the question naturally arises, how much of this did the law of 23d June, 1836, require to be deposited with
the Staes! And the answer win oe iounu uy uuuuu-
ing $1,100,000 for unavailable funds, and $5,UUU,UUU, directed to be reserved in the Treasury, viz. $40,-
237.688 36.
The sum $37,408,859 90 (three fourths ot which, :, ji.9S im itii 97. wns dnnosited with the States')
qpw,vi,.. ., r- , deducted from the foregoing will leave a remainder ot

COMMUNICATED. OBITUARY. Died, in Marion county, on the 23d July, of con
sumption, SARAH ANN, eldest daughter of Thomas
J. Todd, in the 17th year of her age.
Death has been in our midst, and taken from our
society one of its youngest and loveliest members.
Consumption! insatiate disease, whose choicest vic
tims are the young, the fair, the beautiful who de
lights to "feed on the damask cheek" to banish the rose of health and plant the pale lily of death or the
hectic of fatality, has riven the cord that bound to
earth a spirit redeemed and purified, meet for the in
heritance of the saints in light. '
If personal loveliness or amiability of disposition
could have served to save, we had not now been call
ed to mourn the loss of the departed But "there is
no beauty, or grace, or loveliness tnat continueth in man." Yet we are not left without consolation, and
we "sorrow not as those wb have no hope." There
is a land where the chilling blast blo'veth not, the weariness of age comes not, and the "voice of the
weeper" is heard no more. Thither, has our beloved one gone, and gone too in the day-spring of life She
felt not its meridian heat or its chilling eve, but like
the morning star melted "away into the light of Heaven."
"Thou art gone to the grave but we will not deplore thee, Tho' silence and darkness encompass the tomb;
The Savior has passed through its portals before thee, And the lamp of his love was thy guide through the gloom "

Which deducted from the liabilities, leaves the sum of 16,845,657 64 clear amount of debt and liabilities over and above all the revenues and incidental receipts which came into the Treasury during the four years, and which did not remain unavailable at the ead of the period. v In other and more simple terms, but in stronger contrast, on 1st January, 1337, the cask on hand exceeded all liabilities $560,120 45 On 1st January, 1341, the liabilities exceeded all the cash on hand 16,285,737 19
Making an ajrgregate of 16,845,857 64 To this may be fairly added the unliquidated floating claims growing out of the Florida war, and other causes, sufficient to make the entire deficit 13,000,000. Whether this be a loss or no loss on the transactions of the four years, a merchant will be at no loss to determine. Whether it be a debt or no debt, let each one determine according to his judgment or his fancy.

OLDRIDGE'S HALM OF COLUMBIA. ASUFFLY of Oldridge's Balm of Columbia, ibe best and cheapest preparation for the Hir ever offered to the public, received aid for sale ol the Dru fUure of Jul, 31 CRAIGHEAD BRANDON.
Doctor Joseph Ilnniillon'n Anti-F'ycr Pills, or every family Iheir own Fhysitinn. A certain cure for all kinds of Fevers. THE unrivalled success of these Pills in every region where they had been used, has induced me to give them a general circulation, in every portion of country, where the diseases for which they are lecommcnded prevail; and as the vallies of the Mississippi, Missouri, Illinois, Wabash rivers, and all their tributary streams are visited every season with some of the forms of fever, I have taken great trouble through the medium of agents, to place them in almost every neighborhood, so that they may be within the reach of every family. Four fifths of the human family who die in the western and southern countries, between the months of June and November, fall victims to fever in some of its various forms; and it is wonderful beyond comprehension that so little has been done by medical men to prevent the ravages of fevers, which may be truly called the greatest of all terrors to the western and southern people. These Pills are very unpopular among physicians, because they cut them out of their practice. Families who keep and use them according to the directionss but seldom have to call on Doctors for medical aid. These pills possess one quality above all others, which has rendered them so justly valuable to people. It Is this. They cleanse the blood and render it as pure as a fountain of spring water, and those who live in regions where billious fever, chills and fever, ague and fever, &c. prevail, by taking two of the pills a week during the summer and fall, will rarely, if ever, be attacked with either of those diseases. These pills are so mild in their effects in the system, that patients find themselves well after their use, without knowing how the cure has
been brought about. Indeed they act like magie on the human body, producing a cure In a few hours without the patient knowing how or wherefore he has been restored to health. They neither sicken the stomach nor produce any action on the bowels. Patients can drink cold water and eat anything that a sick person should take as nourishment while taking them. Females can take them in any siuation, without the least fear of injury. Indeed, females in a delicate situation should take two or three a week during the sickly part of the season; for they are almost a certain preservative of health to such persons. For children or grown persons who cannot tahe Pills, they may be beaten into a powder and put into a vial of water, and taken in that way. For grown persons, make a powder ol ten pills, and put it in ten teaspoonfuls of water, add a little sugar, and give a tcaspoonful every hour, shaking tho vial each time before taking it. A child ten years old may take of the mixture thus made, 30 drops an hour for ten hours; one of four years old 15 drops, and a child of four weeks old 5 or 6 drops an hour for ten hours; and to prevent a return, give three doses a day for five or six days, and to children who take the Pills, a like proportion. The pills are so innocent that double the amount will do no harm to children or grown persons. Agui and Fbver, or Chills and Fevkr. In thin class of fever which is so common in the western and southern countries, and so easily cured when understood and treated properly, but little directions are necessary. These pills possess a raro and singular virtue in this disease. They are emphatically a specific, or infallible cure. I defy any case lo be found that these pills will not cure in from 24 to 48 hours, if taken according to the directions. One great advantage possessed by them over any other medicines in Ague and Fever, and the common chills and fever, is that patients will rarely have a return of the complaint after their use, except when they expose themselves too soon after it is stopped; and whon by exposure it is brought back in a few cases, a repetition of the Pills will immediately cure it again. v A practice of 32 years in the western and iouthern states, where all the varieties of fever prevail, has given me an -experience in those diseases, possessed by few if any physicians. These pills will be of use to all debilitated persons; particularly to females, who complain of weakness or debility from any cause whatever. In such cases, two of the pills a day will, in a short time, restore the appetite and strengthen and invigorate the system. If persons travelling in the sickly portion of the year, through regions where fevers prevail, will take five or six of these pills a week, they will rarely, if ever be attacked with fevers. These pills should also be given in the latter stages of Scarlet and Spotted fever, and also what is commonly called Winter fever. In such cases give four or five of the pills a day. In any of those fevers where much pain is felt in the stomach, bowels, hack, or head, 30 or 40 drops of laudanum three times a day will relieve the patient, and a less quantity for children in proportion to their age; but it should not be given while purgative niodicines are operating. I could obtain numberless certificates of the great success and value of these pills, but will not incumber the directions with them. The use of them will be a sufficient recommendation of their utility to the people. Caution. The public are particularly cautioned against believing the falsehoods that are put in circulation by many unprincipled physicians, who to render these pills unpopular among the people, are in the habit of asserting that they contain arsenic. I assure the public that there is not a particle of arsenic, or any other mineral substance in them. They are purely a vegetable composition, and as innocent In the system as their weight in flour. Physicians have found that in uine cases out often, one box of these pills will cure a patient, and save bim from payinga doctor's bill of ren, fifteen or twenty dollars, and it is for this reason that they wish to prevent people from using them. The pills are put up in small round paper boxes, which generally contain between 20 and 25 pills. The directions are wrapped round the box in rather a careless manner, and lied on with twine. These pills may be found in all the towns and villages, at mills, and in almost every neighborhood in the vallies .of the Mississippi, Missouri, Illinois and Wabash rivers. - Each box is enveloped with a paier containing the symptoms of the diseases, and the directions for taking the pills. My name and residence is attached to the directions. JOSEni HAMILTON, Liberty county, Ga. Axnts. Tomlinfoa Brothers, Indianapolis; C. Berk halter. Tkcrntern; Frost k.
