which

haa been *0 long in pre*« it at 1m( published. The Indiana poHa Courier says "that contains proof of the most atrecions fraud ever perpetrated upon the people of the State. Let every voter wlio en, procure.* copy and read it. Of course half the truth could not be reached, as the perpetrators of the infamy were almost the sole sources of the evidence but enoagh has been elicited to show the rottenness of the times, and the corruption# which have crept into oar local politics.—Ex.

We haws lesson after lesson ef the villainy of pnblie men, who creep into power to the pretenee of

capability,

bat who we no more lift to represent an honest constituency, than the devil is fit to preach in the church of the living God. Yet these are the very men who hold thn sympathy of the people at their will. A charge of corruption, whether tree or Mse, is looked upon as

ptrttaUia*,

nottk* Jlrt.

which is a sure

stepping stone to power. Perhaps, in reference to this matter, we might say it famishes the only instance upon record, wberein the "burnt child"

dread*

Why is this? from whence

•rises this seeming apathy and want of decision in the character of a people who boast of their abilities to govern? Have the people,

thtmtthtt,

konett

become so

corrupt that they are ashamed to have

men represent them, or have

they lost all state pride and care for nothing beyond a death-like grasp for dollars and cents? If so, they are properly represented—for they oer tainly choose men of like desires and of similar recklessoessofcharacter.

Conld we bnt hope to see a different class of politicians called from the midst of an honest people, who wonld represent the true interests of their constituents, then we might hope for Abetter state of affairs. Bat, it seems that the more the people am exhorted to spurn from power those men who are known to be corrupt, the less at' tention they pay to their own interest. The cry of party,

party, vamtx,

rises up

on the air like the writhing and twisting vapors of a whirlwind, and passes over the country, leaving naught bnt destruction to mark ont its coarse. Yet, in all this, there is something sublime to the minds of the presentday politicians. There is poetry in the creation and sublimity ih the destruction of human power.

Will the people think of this matter mora seriously than they have done for the past few yean? Can they not earn up courage enpngh to forsake party attachments for the time being, and rally to the protection of the masses? Under the present ruling powers, we have but little hope, as the fntare looks more gloomy than the past.— Darkness surrounds as—above, below, all irouud-—our destruction is inevitable if ws continue in the present channel. Already do we feel the impending ooneustion, aa our little bark grinds npoa the projecting rocks. Let us pause bat a moment, and then scixe the helm, and hnii from power and place, those political parties, who prey Upon the very vitals of a nations prosperity and the peace and happiness of oar State By prompt and decided action wa may be enabled to shun the impending and inevitable destruction to which we are sorely drifting. Let the people resolve firmly in their hearts, that not a man who assisted, aided or abetted in palming upon the country the preeent corrupt banking system, shall ever be returned to the eeat he has so villainously dishonored and par* verted. Throw them all ont, lest a remaining ens might, like the point of a thorn, caose a festering sore that would disease the whole system, and ••danger that peas* and that quiet so much desired,

Capt Cutter* Lector*. Quite a laxge and intelligent audi•Mmbled at the Universalis Chnreh, on Wednesday evening, to listen to Capt. G. W. Cutter's Lecture on 'The Poetry of Nations." The subject was handled in a masterly manner, and every tiling was said that the brief space of aeiagle lecture woaM admit of. The principal object of the lecturer was to show the influence of poetry on the national character, as well as upon the moral, intellectual, and religious character of man, wherever it has been cultivated and to show also its influence upon civilization, and its appropriateness as. a medium—and the ouly one—for the perpetuation of great moral, aa well as historical truths. In illustration of this position, he dwelt eloquently upon the fact, that the Bible was the great fountain head as well as the ocean of all poetry, which waa the medium selected by the Creator himself for the perpetuation of his divine injunctions. That its sole eficacy was the same in historical truths, he proved by a comparison of Egypt and India—the sublimest monuments of the former presenting but a blackened and illegible page of her former greatness, while a simple little poem transmitted by the Utter has wrested her history from oblivion and left it as a legacy to the world.

He dwelt at some length upon the influence of poetry upon the different nations of the earth, and among oth ers of its influence upon the national character, the morals and religion of the Italians during the succeeding periods of the times of Dante, Camo ens and Tasso and then came to the land of Shakspeare and of Milton, the splendour of whose genins shone upon us onee with such a radiance as the world can never lose. He argued that Milton, in his master'pieoe of poetry, had done more for the caose of protestantism than all the sermons that ever could be given to the world, and that Shakspeare, in the little eompass of his works, had written all mankind had ever known. 'T

At the eondusion of the lecture, by special request, he read, of his own poems, the "Battle of Buena Vista," written upon the head of a cartridge keg, in his own tent, while every awful scene was fresh upon his mind the "Song of Steam," familiar to almost every one "E Pluribus Unum," that patriotic song that sends the life blood coursing swifter in the veins of him who hears it and, '"Never," that song of lofty national dievotion suggested by the patriotic reply of the Sage of Ashland to the question, when h» would be in favor of the dissolution of the Union.

We are informed that, at the urgent solicitations of many of his friends, Capt. Cutter has consented to deliver snother leoture to-night, and, with a view to accommodating all, haa reduced the prioe of admission to twen-ty-five cents. Let all who feel an interest in the subject go end hear this lecture by one who, since his arm waa raised in his oountiy's cause on the battle fields of Mexico, and his lyre has bean strong for the production "of our national songs, has well earned the happy appellation of the '•Warrior Poet." sj

Nations, like individuals, learn wisdom by experience and obeervar tioa. bnt frequently thoee lesac slowly learned and at great cost and much suffering. Sach has been most emphatically the case in reference to the subject of currency in America. The history of Banks, in this country, is one of disaster, fraud and corruption, without-a parallel in the history of any modem commercial nation. A country of unbounded recourses, in a season of great and universal ty, with an intelligent ani highly terprimng people, and in time of profound peace, with an overflowing public treasury, the public mind is startled by the crash of Banks, while every newspaper has a long list of Bank suspensions and mercantile failures, well calculated to destroy pnblie and private confidence, and excite the feajrsof the most prudent business men hi the country.

Why it it!—

There is something wrong somewhere, that must and will be corrected ere long. The American people will net submit to such evils. Either give Commerce a purs metalie currency, or a sound National Bank to operate with, I care not-which, and these evils will cease to curse the land and parallize the commeroe of the country. Irresponsible Banks—heartless shaving shops and cut throat associations, (legal swindling) will be driven from the country*

The publio and private prosperity of the American people is in the hands of a set of soullees brokers, infinitely more perfectly bankrupt in every redeeming quality, than any monied institution ever sanctioned by the Legislature of the country, or advocated by any political party. The old United States Bank gave to the country a aafe and sound currency, of uniform value anywhere give us such an institution again, or a currency of silver and gold, then this wholesale robbery will cease, and not till then. Let the agitation of all other questions be merged in this great and paramount interest—Democrats, Republicans and Native Americans, all, all, are called upon by every consideration of interest and patriotism to enter the list in an open and exterminating war upon an evil too intolerable longer to be borne. Call meetings—4alk declaim and denounce, in decided terms until the public ear shall tingle with indignation and let the publio press teem arguments and facts to enlighten the people and awaken general intercut.

Letter of Sfonry Clay—Xmprissmont of Seamen. The following letter, now the first time publiahed, addressed by Henry Cisy to a gentleman of this city, wiu be read with interest Mr. Clay, as is well known, was one of the negotiators of the treaty on the part of the United States:

Wasbkotov, Deoember 14,1839. Dea* Sin: In reply to your letter inquiring why a clause wa* not inserted in the treaty of Gh»*ut

againat the future British

guarding

impressment

of American seamen, have to say that yon will recollect that the peace of Europe was then established, and United Statee alone were at war with Great Britain. We were not in aeondition to dictate the terms of peace.— Impresament formed one of the topics of negotation, bnt Great Britaiu was not prepared to renounce the practice of itftpinesing, as she said, her own subjects. We did not think it n*ceesary to continue the war to compel her to renouce it, if we could compel her, for various reasons: 1st, If then were a general peace there would be no impressment, which only takes place in war, or in preparations for war. 3d. It was not ucoecsaty to have any treaty stipulation to exempt us from the practice, our right to exemption depending upon higher ground than any treaty and Sdly. If Great Britain should renew the practice of impress meat we eould prosecute a new war with more vigor and more ample means than we conld continue the existing war, exhausted aa we then were. In point of fact she haa net renewed ths practice of impressment against as, I think never will.
