Th«i Democrats of Vigo will not forget the Mass Meeting on the 24th. It Is mooh desired that eve ry township In tho county be fully and fairly represented in the meeting, as business of much importance will occupy its attention,« The appointmet.t of delegates from Vigo to the Congressional Convention which assembles at Bowling-green, on ilie 10th of August next, and other matters of vital importance to the Democratic party in this county will engago the consideration of the meeting. The election in October next will be the -'most'important one ever held in Indiana. It will be our high privilege in Vigo county to assist in electing upwards of twenty Democratic officers, and in November next, it will be our pleasure, to reduoe'most beautifully loss,' the usual large whig majority. At the mass meeting of the 24th inat., the preliminary steps for the efficient organisation of our party, in the county will be taken, and the necessary arrangements made lor conducting the canvass vigorously and eQectually. The value of organisation to the success of any party is too well known and acknowledged, to require argument in its behalf. Let ail then, attend, and aid in effecting so desirable an organisation. In this way, alone, can Vigooounty be delivered from the thraldom of whiggery. lion. John Pettit, or some other distinguished speaker will be.present and address the meeting.

The Cia«•Osttra-Cosiisstd.

The following important manifesto of number of distinguished whig members of Congress appears in the National Intelligencer of the Sth. A declaration of this character, coming from men who have held such prominent positions in the whig ranks, cannot be without its effect throughout the country & \VxsnvxoTox, July 3 1852.

To prevent all mistake and misapprehension, we, the undersigned. Members of Congress, adopt this method of making a joint statement to our constituents, respectively, and to all who may take an interest in the subject, that we cannot and will not support Gen. Scott for the Presidency, as he now

eg amongbt other reasons: He obstinately refused, up to the time of nomiat ion, to give any public opinion in favor of that erics of measures of the last Congress known* as the Compromise the permanent maintenance of which with us is a question of paramount importance. Nor has he sinee his nomination made any declaration of his approval of these measures as a fiual adjustment of the issues of the controversy.

It is true the resolutions of the Convention that nominated him are as clear and as explicit upon this question as need be but Gen. Scott, in his letter of acceptance, which contains all that we have from him on that matter, does not give them the approval of his judgment. This he seems studious ly to have avoided, lie accepts the nomination 'with the resolutions annexed.' That is, he takes the nomination cumonere as an individual takes an estate with whatever incumbrance it may be loaded with. And the only pledge and guaranty he offers for his'adherence to the principles of the resolutions' are 'the known incidents of along public life,' dtc.

Amongst these 'known incidents' of his life there is not one, so far as we are aware of in favor of the principles of the compromise. In one, at least of his public letters he has expressed sentiments inof fifteen States of the imical to th# institutions

Union. Sirse the passage of the compromise, he

gufR}ret hi na

his usual

(£r The Editor of the Express in highly classic and elegant style abuses us without stint, because we said, in our leader of latt week, that the whig party, had now, no acknowledged principles. He says this declaration is rather too muobi alter all (he labor the Convention had in framing a Whig Platform ot Principles. Without attempting to show us any of his or his party's principles, he declares that no declaration could have been farther from the truth. We will confoss that the compromise measures was ostensibly endorsed as a Principle" by the Convention, but their endorsement was merely lor the purpose of reconciling, the South to Gon. Scott's nomination. Many of the most influential and reliable whig papers in the Union regard this palpable endorsement ol the "Compromise" in the same light. A candidate'vas chosen by the Convention who would be accoptabie to the "Northern fanatics," while the so caliod, Platform of Principles," was adopted to appease the Southern chivalry." As for the other old principles of the par:y, the National Bank, the Distribution of the proceeds of the Public Lands, the Tariff, die., they are all extinct. The The

^e obe held up before the peo-

pie of several of the States aS a candidate for the Presidency by the open and avowed enetnies of those measures. And in the convention that conferred this naminstion upon him he permitted himself to be usti by the Free Soilers in that body to efeat Mr. Fillmore ar.d Mr. Webster, beoause of their advocaay of these measures and firm adherence to the policy that sustained them. -1?

To join such men, and aid them in ooriiplettfig their triumph over, and sacrifice of, the true and tried friends of the constitution, and the faithful discharge of all its obligations, is what we oan never do. We consider Ged. Scott as the favorite candidate of the Free Soil wing of the whig party. That his policy, if he should be elected, would be warped and shaped to comform to their views and to elevate them to power in the administration of the Government, can but be considered as a legitimate and probable result. And, believing as we do, that the views of that faction of miiichievous men are dangerous riot only to the just and constitutional rights of thekSouthern States, (which we represent in part,) but to the peace and|uiet of the whole country, and to the permanent union Ot the States, we regard it as the highest duty of the well wishers of the country everywhere, whatever else they may do, to at least withhold from him their support. This we intend to do.

For reasons to some extent indicated in speeches and addresses heretofore made by the undersigned, they deem it to be their duty to withhold their sqpport from Gen. Scott, as a candidate for the Presidency. If it should seem to be necessary, we will hereafter, in some form, exhibit more fully to our constituents the (acts and reasons which have brought us to this determiuation.

A letter from Washington to one of the New York papers says: 'This pronunciamento of.Messrs, Toombs, Stephens, and others, in this morning's Intelligencer, I learn waa published prematurely, several other Southern members having intended to offer their names to it,-^* Among them are Mr. Cabell, of Florida, and Outlaw, of North Carolina, and probably Campbell or North Carolina and Marshall of Kentucky. At any rate, these gentlemen will each address their constituents forthwith on the subjeot of their position with reference to General Scott's nomination. Mr. Cabell has unequivocally declared his impossibility of supporting him, and lays great stress upon :the repudiation by Greely and other whig abolitionists of the platform of principles.* $

Jter«t win be recollected,, that eosM five or six mdteths since, we informed our reader* of a reso* lution introduced into the lower Soustof Congress by the Representative from this district, Bon. JOHN

DAVIS,

to the effect that a grant of land

be extended to lsdiaha aud Illinois for the purpose of aiding in the completion of the Atlantic and Mississippi Railroad. FFe clip some farther proceedings in relation to this subject from a late No. of the fPashington Globe:

Grmats of Lssds to Iaiiuaasi tlliuois* Mr Orr fiitna the Committee on Public itaiids reported back, without amendment, the bill granting the right of way, and a portion of the public land* to the States of Indiana and Illinois to aid io the costruction of a railroad from Springfield,Illinois,to Terre llaute Indiana.

Mr. DAVIS, of Indiana. I move that the bill be put on the passage. 1 do not desire to discuss the question at this time. It is a bill upon which I desire to make a few remarks before I make the motion design making. This bill was introduced by myself in the early part of the present session. It was referred to the. Committee on Public Lands five months ago, I believe and that commmittee have reported it back, with a recommendation that it passed. I believe it is the last bill, or, at ail events, the last but one, now to be repotted back from .the Committee on Public Lands. I know sir, that the House has become somewhat weary in consequence of the great length of lime consumed by the committee in making its reports. I do not desire that this bill shold go to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, nor do I desire to take up the time of the House at present in discussing its merits but I think that when that time arrives 1 shall be perfectly able to show,that if there is merit in a single bill reported to the present House in regard to the construction of railroads upon the alternate section principle, there is a merit in this bill. But in order to aHow the committee to go on and finish their report so that the Upuse may lake them up, 1 ask the unanimous consent of the House that the consideration of tikis bill be postponed for two weeks from this day* [Cries of'Agreed!''Agreed!'}

Mr. Johnson of Georgia. I object. The Speaker. .. The gentleman from Indiana has aright to move to postpone the further consideration of the bill.

Mr. Jenkins. Is it in order to make a motion to lay the bill on the table ,,/i The Speaker. It will be so when tne gentleman gets the floor for that purpose. The gentleman from Indiana is now upon the floor. Die motion to postpone, however is not debatable.

Mr. DAVIS. I do not desire to discuss the bill at this lime. 1 merely made a motion that the consideration of this bill be postponed for^tfo weeks from to-day.

Mr. Jenkins. I move to lay the bill upon the table. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee. I wish to make an inquiry as to the effect of the gentleman's motion. Supposing this bill shall be deferred for'two weeks, and ihe House shall have passed from the Committee on publio lands, will this come up then in the morning hour!

The Speaker. The chair thinks it would probably come up as the unfinished business, during the call for reports within the morning hour.

Mr* Clingman. 1 would inquire if the morning hour has expired? The Speaker. The morning hour has not yet expired.

Mr. Johnson, of Georgia. Upon the motion to lay the bill on the table I demand the yeas and nays.

The yeas and nays were ordered. Mr. Bocock. I wish to enquire if the morning hour has expired!

The* Speaker. It has not by two minutes and a half. .-•*** The question being then taken upon the motion to lay the bill upon the table, it was decided in the negative—yeas 71, nays 86 as follows:

YEAS—Messrs. Charles Allen, Allison, John Appleton, Ashe, Averett, Babcock, David J. Bailey, Thomas H. Bayly, Bennett, Bibighaus, Bocock, J. H. Boyd, Bragg, Buell.

The Near Albany Ledger says this company was chartered by the Legislature of Indiana, acd is now organised with a capital stock of 9300/NX), all taken. They have projected an improvement at the falls that is novel and plausible. It consists of docks to be constructed above and below the foils, with a railroad between them. They propose to raise the largest sixed boats by machinery out of the docks and transport them over the road and let them down into the dock at thts other end of it.— There is nothing imposable theee times. The improvement can be made at trifling cost compared with ibe cost of a canal, if it bo feasible st all—of which the company don't seem to entertain doubt.

don't know of any

better adviee to be given on the subject of electing judges of this court—which is really the people's court—than die following from the editorial correspondence of the Lawrenceburgh Register:

The extensive juridiction of this court, and the nature of -business entrusted to it, render it the most important of any. It is hoped that a competent man will be selected in each district as Judge of the court. He should be a good lawyer—a man of profound legal attainments, as well as a man of sagacity, quick perception and good .sense. The idea of placing a numskull on that bench should not be entertained for a single moment. Every one admits that we should ham good lawyers for Circuit or Supreme Judges. Shall we elect, as Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, a person ignorant of the law?—a court of more importance in one sense than any other.
