The American people are excitable it is true-*-ihey may vote for Taylor and hurra for him because he was sucoessfull in battle against the enemies of his country. This they could do immediately after the battles were fought—while the smoke of the battles wore yet visible, and the clangor of arms was yet to be heard. Hut in their cooler moments they have not failed to realise the fact, that they committed a fatal error when they elected Zackary Taylor, the brave and gallant soldier, and tried veteran, but utterly inexperienced Statesman to the Chief Magistracy of this mighty R$ubiio. The excitttaeat could not last, Pslo Alto. Reseca De La Palma, Monterey, and Buena Vista are now fbrgottea by the auti war peace whig Party, but they were fresh once, and served the purpose of those who nominated their chief commander in Ihoee battles for the Presidency. W'UI the people of tiMi country repeal the experiments? Do tbeljr deeire i«rh a repetition? They elected Taylor, who was utterly unfit for the Presidency of the .United States, limply because At* army of brave American officers and men had whipped Geaerit

DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATON

Meet* To-Morrow (Saturday) Evening, at Temperance Hall. Addresses may be expected from STEPHEN G. DODGE and other*.

ID* MR. ISAIAH DOMIIAM is announced in this Paper, as a candidate for the Legixlnture. All the other candidates are Wlilga. We commend MR. DOKIIAM to the consideration of our Democratic friends also, to those Whigs, who are willing that the Democrats should have one, of the three members to be elected to the Legislature.

TTie Presidential Campaign. Stronger and more distinctly defined as tlie election approaches, the popular aentiment oi the country ia manifesting itself in favor of the Nominees of the Demooratio National Convention.-— Louder and more decided aa the comparative tner* ita of the two candidates for the Presidency are justly presented to »ie*r, blho declaration of Public opinion in fttvor of that tried and true patriot and statesman, Franklin Pierce. The people of the United States are emphatically a reading and reflecting people, and a people of generous and patriotic impulses. In the language of Junius "they are seldom wong in their opinions, in their sentiments they never are." Though misrepreaentationa and falsehood may at times delude them still they will finally awake to a sense of their duty as oitizens, and as members of a great Confederation of States.. In the two great Presidential oont* Nts which resulted favorably for our Whig opponents, the people were deluded by a false enthusiaam for military renown, and there is no doubt that the Scott leaders calculated largely upon get* ling up an exoitement in favor of their candidate by a similar resort. They would never have selected him as thetr "availability for his civil qualifications, nor would Seward and his abolition allies have chosen him as the best representative of their principles, but they calculated that his military achievements would produce an excitement, in whioh his incapacity as a statesman would be overlooked, and at the same time the principles of his chief supporters and advocates would be forgotten. Their whole gvu-powder-plot has so far been a total failure, and proved as bad a speculation as did that of Guy Fawkes. Seward and his clique, like Guy and his confederates, have laid in their 00m* bustables to blow the government up, but the secret has leaked out, and the ides of November next will "tell a tale," not weloome to their ears. *.

Jaftd ifcey are letfdei (df tliir eeovs*eed thai the noniiasttioa ef Scott wat pmrared by Atirfiuon fa* fiueneee. We witt not attempt to inquire late the real causes of the want of eMbueiasm ki favor of Scott, but that tfcere & none wfwtfrver, must be a conceded fact. Not an^efiort has ken imtda to get tip a^ grand and imposing demoBsSratioftia bis fimr, but.has proved a total failure. TbeNiagara effort wa» a aeost huweatabla taSare as has been eoafessed upoe all hMtda, and mo of all the Scott meetki^s whieb have fallen under our observation. The great Democratic demonstrations |have, upoo jibe ot&er hand, been some of the largest and naost eothsiastic meetings ever held in the country, as theg^it Hilisbourough, and Harrisbttrg efforts for insunce. Democratic Mas* Meetings have* thus greatly surpassed the Whig Meetings both in point of numbers and enthusiasm. Hence it ts. evident that the gunpowdfr oandidate has not the availiblhy which it was fbndly hoped he would possess from the effects of bis recent Mexican laurels.— The truth is that the public stomach has been sumfeited with mere military display, and wants something more substantial and reliable. But the evil associations of Gen. Scott with suchmen as Seward, Greely, Johnson and the "higherlaw" men of country, who keep up a continual war upon the institutions and constitutional rights of the soverign States, and denounce the constitution and laws of the land, this is one of bis most objectionable features. Gcrif POW&BR therefore we think can't save the "hero of an hundred battles" from a most woefull defeat. This is as true almost as any moral truth if there can be the least dependence placed in the signs of the tunes.

T— —?r— .'»•*. #/s"

•t u-Gea. Scott aa4 Natpratizatoa. It is claimed by the apologists of Gen. Scott that however indefensible his opinions on natualization were in 184J ,he has changed those opinions and has abandoned the policy he then advocated.

Let us see in what respect he hai changed his position and whether the change is for the belter.— In 1841 he declared that he hesitated between extending the period of residence before naturalization, and the repeal of all laws on the subject! and that he inclined to the latter that is to say, he was inclined not permit any person of foreign birth to vote at all. Now for the change. In his letter accepting the nomination for the Presidency, he adds to the whig platform the proposition of a single modification of the naturalization laws, by which persons of foreign birth after serving one year in the army, in Lime of war, may be admitted to the right ot citizenship. The whig orators say that this means that foreigners would still be permitted to become citizens upon five years residence, as at present, without serving as soldiers one year.— Is this so? Section 8 of the constitution grants to congress the power "To establish an Uniform rule of naturalixalion:" not several rules but one rule of naturalization, one uniform rule. Upon every principal oflegal construction, if Gen, Scott's modification of the naturalization law should be adopted, it would operate as a repeal of the existing law: it would supercede and take place Not only sof it is easy to show that Gen. Scott so understood

when he wrote the letter. In the "Ame

rica*" communication. his draft of a bill and accompanying explanations provide for and contemplate that the former law should be abrogated and cease, for he specially provides that persons already arrived in the country, and those who should arrive within six months after its passage, might be naturalized under the former law! which provision, by necessary implication, as well as the repealing clause in the bill itself, demonstrate that the new act was to operate as & repeal of the old so tar as related to the terms of naturalization, It is said that Gen. Scott is a lawyer. If he is, he must be aware that his proposition, if adopted, would repeal the present conditions of naturalization, and leave all persons of foreign birth no chanoe of becoming citizens except the contingency that our oountry might be at some time engaged in a war, and that they might be able to leave their families and occupations and serve one year in time of actual war. The "ifauriciM" bill provided for two years servioe or during the war. Is not this an inviting picture? This is what Gen. Scott with unparelled audaoity calls only "a single modification" of the law when he knew, or ought to know, it was a radical change involving the very principal avowed in his letter of 1841! a practical denial of the privilege of citizenship to every person of foreign birth. Will our country be at war within the next hundied years? In all human probability there will be no necessity that she should be! end if aot, we shall all pray that she keep the peace. Gen. Scott has not, then, changed his opinion! but only, by a piece of duplicity, probably "suggested by his military experience," be has executed a maneuver by which he has changed front anil hopes to draw his victims into an ambuscade. This is another of his military rules which he, doubtless, wishes to carry into the administration of our civil government

This rale once adopted, if the citizens of this country should approve of a pacific policy, no person of foreign birth could be admitted to the rights of citixenship and, of consequence, the favorite policy of Gen. Scott, of excluding them from all participation in civil rights, would prevail. On the other hand, such a rule would operate as an incentive to demagogical politicians to involve our country in war, for the sake of obtaining the friendship and support of those whose deire to become citizen.) will lead thera to favor a war policy, as the only one which can o&rd them the prospect of obtaining the object they desire. Will the enlightened voters of this country, by their votes, countenance this detestable policy, which offers a premium upon bloodshed—which invites men, as the price for which they can obtain the precious right of sivtxenship, to engage in the occupation of cut

EXCITEMENT!

WOlflMBttPUL 2HBCO' White Riror Station ml Stream! Aair lefcus—H Hosaestea Bill, aa Akolitiaa •easare! la ttates paSt diaooveries have been made, which have resulted in benefit to the Human Race, and have perpetuated the names and fame of their Authors to after generations. The Laws of Gravitation discoursed by Newton the discovery of a New World, by Columbus, were instances of this sort, and in more ^modern times Daguerre, and Morse, have attained some celebrity as discoverers, but all their glory pain before the astonishing discoveries announced above, and out townsman Cromwell Woolsey Barbour, is the man, around whose brow cluster the glory of the discoveries aforesaid. We do Hot wish to do any man injustice, therefore we wit) say, that is certain our friend Barbour discovered White Biver to be a National stream, for he so announced in his speeches to the inhabitants along its margin, and pledged him&elf to procure an appropriation from Congress to make it navigable the year round it is not sc certain respecting the second discovery that honor will have to be divided between him, and his friend Lawyer the scintilations of whose graceful style, sparkle through the announcement whioh has been made to the world, through the medium of cart loads of Circulars, and through the columns of the Daily Courier, and Weakly Wabash Express.

That discovery, so astounding, so pregnant with interests to the Race, could hardly have been made even by our worthy friend Barbour, without assistance, and we think the honor must be shared between him and the promising geniua aforesaid.— We are more impressed with the fact, when we consider that Mr. Davis had been traveling with Mr. Barbour, and making speeches with him more or less for three weeks, and had never, up to the time of his arrival here, last Tuesday, heard a lisp of the Homestead Bill being an Abolition measure. It will pain our friend Andy Johnson of Tennessee, to find out that his favorite measure, one for which he had labored with so much zeal for the last six years, pronounced 'an Abolition measure* 'a hobby horse stolen from and Abolition Stable' and such like ohoice epithetn. Our friend Andy was a poor boy once, without property and without education he learned the trade of a Tailor, and earned money enough with his needle and scissors, to educate himself thoroughly he afterwards studied law, and was so well thought of by his fellow citizens, that thev sent him to Congress. We had the pleasure of making his acquaintance in the spring of 1844, and recollect hearing him speak in favor of "granting the public lands, in limited quantities, to actual settlers." From that time to the present, Andy has been regarded as the champion of this, wise and beneficent measure. In this last Congress he succeeded in getting it through the House of Representatives by a vote of one hundred, and seven, in its favor, to fifty six against it: John G. Davis voting in the ajtirmative of those voting in its favor, seventy-two were Northern, and thirty-five, Southern men forty Whigs, and sixty-seven Democrats. Now if this is an abolition measure, it is plain that abolition is very popular with the North and South, amoog tohigs as well democrats! But it is not an abolition measure any more than the Declaration of Independence would be aboliton becausa they have passed resolutiqw

time in favor of its principles. The Pittsburgh Convention did not meet until months after the Homestead Bill had passed the House of Representatives with what truth then can Mr. Barbour charge Mr. Davis with having adopted an Abolition measure? Tht facts are directly the reverse, and Mr. Barbour, and his man Friday, must be hardly pressed when they think it neccessary to resort to such means to sustain their sinking cause. This trick can deceive no one it is too transparent, too silly, to exoite any thing but contempt and derision among the people.

Up to last Monday, the Congressional election had excited but little interest by common consent, both parties appeared willing to leave the contest to the two candidates: all at once there seemed to be an awakening among Mr. Barbour's friends, an alarm: the Daily Courier of Monday came out with three and a half mortal columns devoted to Mr. Barbour and his cause two Circulars from Mr. Barbour himself, and a column and a half of hishey hash purporting to be editorial, but which refctiy was only the reflection of a third Circular from Mr. Barbour, which had been clandestinely sent into the country that day, but did not appear in Town until the eusueing day. Why was it that the Daily Courier did not appear until dark Tuesday? Was it intended to prevent Mr. Davis from seeing the fool and disreputable charges whioh it contains, until it would be too late to examine it and reply? Fortunately a stray copy was procured in time, and a* simple analysis of the vote on the passage of the Homestead Bill, was sufficient of itself to refute and utterly to destroy the false and infamous calumny, that Mr. Davis in voting Jot that Bill, had been acting in concert with abolitionists, or had in any way adopted their platform. Desperate indeed must be that cause, that requires »uch means to support it. The fact concerning this matter is, that Mr. Barbour had thoughtlessly mounted opposition to the Homestead Bill as a hobby on which, with a tew others, be hoped to ride into Congress one of his hobbies, the nationality of White river, gave out somewhere along the margin of that stream, and his second hobby, opposition to the Homestead, was rode to death in Putnam county before the canvass had fairly begun there, and left poor Barbour wandering about in Mr. Davis* rear, without even a bobby to ride, during which time he lost several days as he, himself expresses it, in the heart of the canvass* He returned here last Saturday, dispirited and bobby less the case was really alarming, something had to be done a new bobby had to be inamUd. hence the spasmodic and ridiculous attempt by means of Circulars, seat out by wagon loads through tfae district one week only before the election, to create the impression that the Homestcmd, was an abolition measure.

Portrait. .|

In the adddrees delivered by Professor Reed bofore the members of the last legislature, and which they caused to be published at the expense of the State, the learned professor gives the following description of what the State.

Superintendent of Pub

lic instruction should be. J. -*^1 j. We want a man for this office glowing with enthusiasm on the great subject of popular education! capable of awakening in the breasts of others the same feelings which are fervid in his own a men wise in council and efficient in action, of an industry which shall win the confidence of the people a man who holds the pen of a ready writer, whose circulars and addresses to school officers and teachers, and whose educational tracts for the people, shall, as was said of those of Guyaot, late Minister of Public Instruction in France, carry with them to every part of the State, the power of a constant^personal presence and influence! a man who shall know all tbat has elsewhere been done, or is doing, on the subject of education, bat who shall possess that sound discriminating judgment which will point out what is best adapted to Indiana. Such a man we want for our Superintendent, and one, too, of a character too lofty for mere party or soctarian influences. Were shall wo 6HM such a man? We may find twenty men who would make good Governors, or Supreme Judges, or Senator, where we could not find one suited to this office."

Words^luld hardly bef lb ployed more fit to describe the qualities of Professor Wm. C. Larrabee, one of the candidates for the office of Superindent, than those quoted above. Not with any view to detract from the merits of the worthy competitor ol Pro. Larrabee but only to render justice to his exalted merit, it is but an act of duty in one who has known him ever since he came to Indiana, to say, that he is a man whose life has been devoted to education one whose acquaintance with the subject is enlarged and varied, far beyond that of scholars in general that he is au admirable writer, an

of rapidly increasing celebrity, and a christian, in a far higher and better sense than the creed or name of any seot imports: in a word, that Philanthropy is the very soul and essence of both his religion and his politics. He holds that "to do good and to communicate" is worth more tha{t all the imposing professions, of all the Pharisees, from the time of Herod to the present and perhaps his greatest fault is the impolitic contempt with which he spurns and denounces all kinds of cant and hypocrioy. He is one who does not hesitate to rebuke the impious ^rit, now too prevalent, which would wrest religion from its sacred purpose to the promotion of partisan objects or personal aggrandizement. Wh6n it is added that he is an exceedingly agreeable and companionable man and that his industryjir.d activity are untiring, it would seem that the picture of & first rate Superintendent is complete. *»it I ,u -•r 4.., 1 S

Joha G. Davis,

Addressed a large audience at the Court House Tuosday evening last. Although he had been making two speeches a day, and traveling constantly tho last three weeks, he seemed to be as fresh and vigorous, as when he first set out on the canvass. He discussed the variou subjects at issue between the parties, with a strength of mind and vigor of thought, seldom equaled. We have never seen a more attentive, or apparently better pleased audience. While Mr. Davis is known as decided and uncompromising Democrat, there is no rancour or bitterness in his feelings he never abuses his political opponents, but considers them members of one brotherhood, having common interests and common aspirations. No one can listen to Mr. Davis without being impressed with his manliness, his truth his'sicerity no special pleading, on his drawn distinction, no throwing dust into the eyes of his auditors, he is bold, fearless, resolute, determined just the kind of a man to become pop•ular among the people, just such a man as the peo pie want, and just such a man as they will re-elect to represent them in congress/ .»• -lUnj "J I I. l.i 1 ill i.fi •nllill 1 «*iil .!«!-{.!.

Frank. Pierce at Bowdoin College. At the late commencement at Bowdoin College, there was observed among his class mates, for the first time since he graduated, FRANKLIN PIEBCB, who, after an absence of twenty-eight years had returned to the scenes of his early hopes and aspira tions. He met there the surviving members of his class, with a goodly delegation from all the classes that had graduated since the foundation of the College, a half century ago. He was received among his old associates, with enthusiastic demon strations of respect. Being called out by a toast complimentary to New Hampshire, from Hon George Evans, he arose, and made a most beautiful and affecting Speech, alluding to his early associations with the sons of Bowdoin, and panic ularly to his room mate, a most estimable man, who made on hi* heart an effaceless impression of moral and religious influence, but who for a quarter of a century has been sleeping the wakeless sleep of the grave, in a rural cemetery, on the banks of the Androscoggin* He made a very modest and appropriate reference to his position before tbe American People, in answer to an allusion of Mr. Evans to the Presidency*/ After the services of the day were over, he visited the College Cemetery, and stood in the calm twilight, deeply meditating over the grave of the learned and venerable Appleton, the most distinguished of the Presidents of Bowdoin, and father of the gentle and lovely being, who in youth gave the generous PIEBCB, ber heart and her hand, and who is destined to ait by bis side in the Presidential Mansion, and by ber grace, ber affability, and accomplishments, to add new interest to the social and domestic circle of the White House.

To the observer the scene most have been one ol deep interest. II would tbat I might have stood near bun, in tbat forest cemetery, where the evergreen pines, with tones inimitable, piay a requiem over the memory of my own early associates, and class mates, and looked at him, who came, a youthful stranger, long ago, amoog us, in Bowdoin*s Halls who, while he remained, woo by bis fine talents, hie generosity, and bis magnanimity the respect, admiration and love of us all, whose history we have traced, with deep interest, and high ex pectatioc, through the changes of quarter of a oe&tury, and who BOW occupies a position, tb which, none on this tefrestial sphere is prouder and higher, except the one position to which his present will surely lead. Immortal honor to men who founded the glorious institutions of American Republicanism, under which the sens ef. penary and orphanage may aspire to the highetl stations ia the civilized world. L.

Mr.

Hon. Richard W. Thoin for this district, addressed thf Scott Fraternity Saturday evening last. Beit^he first distinguis! ed champion of Whiggery wfct had spoken in th city this campaign, a large uj|dience, including coterie of Ladies, were presets upon the occasio The speech, we are pleased 4 say, was upon tl whole, the most gentlemanly utd respectable wh effort we have heard during this canvass. Tl low flung and contemptible aH|sions to the Demi cralio Nominee, and the stter recklessness assertion which have so pre-enaaently character^ whig orators, and the lower c!iss of Whig New papers, since Gen. Pierce's nomination for tl I Presidency, Mr. Thompson was gentleman enough not to rehearse. The Speaker commenc 0 by remarking that the Democrstio party entertai ing their false notions of progression, had obliti ated the last vestige of the policy of Washingt and the Revolutionary sages., the protective poli and the United States Bank. All those measurt sanctified by the Father of bs country and I 1 illustrious compeers, had been thrown aside measures too antiquated for the Progress\ Democracy. Would Mr. Thompson now desire advocate his favorite Proteotire Policy, and United Slates Bank? Does he want to ring those old issues into the present campaign? If no democrat oan interpose the least objectii a Upon the platform of those principles, the W Party has twice suffered defeat, and we can no reason why they should now be successful.

In the course of his remarks Mr. Thompson sa that Abolitionism was but one form of Democrat and attempted to prove that it was through the tervention of the Democratic pany that Abolitioni got its first foot-hold in Indiana. Surely a sti ment of this kind could not fail to stagger a W of ordinary nerve. If the gentleman's remark It true, then Sewardism, and Greeleyism are I it "but other forms of Democracy." Is not, we 0 tflf ask, the entire Abolition and Free Soil Party of. North closely allied with the Whig party not the nomination of Gen. Scott effected wi view to secure that "wing of the Party.

A variety of other things more intimately neoted with the canvass, precludes us from pa any more than a passing notice to this speech. will say, however, and all must bear us out in assertion, that Mr. T.'ss speech, although one 0 best, utterly failed to licit a panicle of enthusiim

in behalf of their candidates. In fact, that a modity is not an element in their party just at is time. The applause was inure the result of rhe xi cal flourish, than the manifestation of feeling ltd enthusiasm for Gen. Scott. That feeling is la mt, and Mr. Thompson was unequal to the tajtof awakening it.

Gen. Scott Stumping it

The last resort has at length been taken, [lie

telegraphic news shows that Gen. Scott's trip through the Western States, instead of bcin( an official visit, is a regular electioneering tour, ow humiliating ^He addressed regular Whig iitss Meetings at Pittsburgh, Colunjtus, Paris, Ky.,nnd various other places, and it expected soon at Madison and Indianapolis, -i n-M'.w

How humiliating it must- be, to be compelle Ito bring the General into thefield, personally, in 0 tier to stir up the enthusiam of his friends. If this on't look like a sinking cause, we don't know Aat does. What Presidential candidate ever fore exhibited himself in this way. None, and it left to Gen. Scott to descend to the business of iectioneering for himself like a sheriff or any ther petty county officer.

WAREHOUSE No. 19 Front St. between Maiu&.Walnnt THE above Is a wood cut of a double geared "Qeen of the South" Corn Mill.

We manufacture a Cob Breaker of great strength and' durability, and ease of operation. We place this useful contrivance on nil sizes of Mills, by which means we convert a Corn Mill into a Slock Feedf Mill but a few minutes work to put it on, or to take it off.'

We manufacture portable Mills, single and double geared (best quality of French burrs) to grind Wheat, Corn and Stock Feeds, calculated for steam, water or horse poWer. These Mills have been rnn by steam and horse power in competition against the other mske of Mills of our city, st'oar Stale Fairs, and have never failed to carry oft'the first premium—on one occasion was awarded a beautiful si 1 vet? medal. Oar Mills, also took two first premiums, aa the* best Mills, at two annual Fairs of our Mechanic's Institute.

ALSO—Portable Saw Mills, to be run by steam, water or hone power. This Mill was exhibited in operation by horse power, at the Ohio State Fair, in 1850, when it was awarded a premium and a splendid silver medal.

ALSO—Different kinds^oC portable horse powers, and1 steam Engines. Alt our sfrucles, for ease of operation, simplicity, asefaineas, and duAiirUiU', are surpassed by none now in use.

All oar articles are warranted m,^«presentcd—or no sale—at oar coat of transportation and the money refunded. For a full description and testimonials of
