JACKSON CAUCUS. A Jackson caucus was held at Indianapolis, on the 1 8th December David Robh, in the Chair, and M G. Bright, Secretary. After passing a string of resolutions lauding the President and his administration to the ;dues, it was lurther resolved that Five Thousand copies of the Presidents Message be printed, for distribution throughout the State; and on motion, J. C Reily, N. l. Palmer, .T P. Dinkc, Jas.j Blake, and Thomas Givens, were ap-j pointed a committee to select and nominate a Standing Central Committee, to consist of tzi.'cnlij the committee selected James Blake, AUx'i F.

Newland, ot Lawrence, whi h report was unanimously adopted by the meeting. At a general meeting of the Central Commil'ee, on the 2'2d Dec. it was 4t Res' lied That the committee will endeavor 'o designate a committee of live persons in even county in the state, as a county corresponding committee ; and that said cou,; . ornmUfCes he authorised tc organise committees of vigilance in the several townships ol their respective coun ties; and ail such committees are invited to correspond with the Ct ntral Committee through their Chairman at Indianapolis.'" I abominate this Caucus S)siem, as much as I do the present prevailing fishim of ru'mg about and soliciting votes. What light, 1 would ask, have these men to dicta e to the iieoi.'e or to meet in caucus and appoint five "overseers"' in each count y lo direct the people how they shall vote W ho made than the organ of the public will I Who authorised them to mstiuct the tieemen ot the country the manner in which they shall exercise the invaluable light of sutirage? Not the people surely for it i believed that a large rn.ij mty are opposed to theee measures. Fiorn wlunce, then, does their power emanate ? Whence does it arise? The answer is '"from ihemst ruts" -they have " a-rtnncd apowertho1 they have it nut." It a man honestly believes Gen. Jackson better qualified for the ,Preidency than Mr. Clay, or any other individual, iu the name of ileaven let him vote as he thinks it is his privilege a right which God ha given him it is a gloiious one and no honest man will quarrel with him for exercising it. B'Jt let not a set of men whose very bread is dependent upon the existence of the present administration. deceive the honest burners and mechanics of our country m this way. It has been said that iMr. Clay cannot get the vote of this s'ale under any cir cumstancts. It so, why all this prepara tion tor battle by the Central Committee? Does it not -how a tear doc it not show . . i . i .si T 1 linn nr. u uicati. in;ii utnerai Jackson is not as popular as his friends would have the people believer & wherefore arises this caucusing, this committ e ot twenty, this council of ten, this county cocimiitte of rive, and these resolution-?

'Fhert is someihmg my stenous in this- Mr. (day's friends have no occasion to take any steps here to ensure his success. A majority ot the people of the state have taken him up; and that Indiana will give him her vote, is as certain as the triumph of truth and justice. 1 ii .t 11. r Several original articles for want of room are necessarily laid over.

Trie steam boat Forester arrived hero on Thmsday cvening,dischargcd some freight and uoceeded up. for the v1ncf.nm s cazettc Mr. Lmto;i Late events have had the effect cf proving to the uorld, that one political party at least, ;uc well organised, and determined, at the sacrifice of lecling, principle and fluty, to support their partv. The election of V. S. Senator in the place ot Win. Hendricks, which took place a few weeks since, proves this I e; end doubt. In that election we find that the two Representatives from Knox county, neither of whom was elected on arty strength, but by the promiscuous votes of all parties, without reference to personal politics, as Representative of the feelings, interests and wishes of Knox county, conceived themselves bound to vote lor R. Boon in preference to a distinguished citizen ol Knox county, meiely because he was the Jackson candidate, well knowinir at the same time, that in so doing they vio ated lL a 1 " . J.. me iami lepogcu in uiem vy tueir reposed in them by stifuents. This iu not all, nor the worst conse quence to be apprehended from this slate of things. In cv ery thing else, the doctrines promulgated from head quarters are to he supported. Internal improvement is to be stopped tfie present Tariff on imports lo be altered to a judicious one. to suit ti e nullihers of the South. These two leading features of the past policy of the country, under which she has had unparalleled prcspei ity, which have received repeatedly the sanction of large majorities of the people, and which are of vital importance to the Eastern, .Middle, and Western States, are to be erased; and the party men, all of whom are either tisino for, or have already ohtaiued otlice, are hound to "go the whole hog" fur this, or any thing else they are biddo. It ib therefore, surely high time for the friends of the best intciests of their country- of that policy which makes a home market for the produce of the country, and which provides good roads or canals for its transportation to our navigable strearnSj and which improves the navigation of their rivers at the expense of the General Government, into whose coiTers such a vast amount is annually paid by the western people to be up and doing; to organise; to look well to the principles of those whom they entrust to represent them. Ten years since, there was no market at any price, for the produce of the western fatmer- his pork was hawked about the streets of our villages, and sold for $1 25 in trade, and that at enormcus prices his corn wh a drug which in some cases could scarcely be given away. At that time the Farmers of the west were the very slaves of the English Manufactu rer, through the medium of retailers ol English Goods m ev ery nook and corner of the country. What is now our situation? There is not an nriicle the farmer has to sell, but he can get cash for at a fair price he is now, if at all prudent and industrious, what he should always be, independent. Two thirds of the goods now vended in the west are the produce of American Industry; and the mauufactu rers ol them are very gad to recerve the . r . , J " I produce of our Lands in payment Every man now has an incentive to industry, being sure ol his reward. And what has brought about this happy 6tate of things? That policy which the Jackson patty are labouring to do away that policy For w hich the country is indebted to Henry Clay, its early, earnest and powerful champion. This being the present state of things, it becomes the imperative duty of all who wish to see the continued prosperity of the country, to take a deciive stand; to unite in future, in the choice of candidates for ofiice,on men who w ill be tiueto this policy, and lay ing aside all prejudice and personal feelings, give their united suffrages at the polls. Jt is no idle or vain alarm, for political purposes, or to promote the ambition of a man, or men, which is the object of this communication. Our dearest and most valuable interests areassailed by a powerful faction, who tire on all occasions, when needed, found fighting in an embodied phalanx, without references to peisonal difleienccs a faction, w hich has alway s, when it had the power used it without mercy or justice, and which, when w eakest, has had the cunning to obtain quarter. If this party is the tronget in our country, let us know it, and submit if not, let us have fiiends to1 the American system to represent us let us elect those who will go for the interests of the country for measutcs, not men and not the blind and fettered representatives of a Party, whse religion is man-worship, whose ever y vote and act has been swayed by corruption, or governed by selfish interest.

Trom this remarlf, with regard to the ' leaving the giaves of then fathejs,v we tans: inler. ficnt the frequent use of the quotation. that it applies pai ticularly to the case of the Chetokrcs. Rut where, let a:e a?li, is tht aliiiiily between tic condition of the wandering savage, and that of the civilized Christian ? Look at them anp. u tiaily, and compare the motives ofl each. The same stead) increase of pop illation, which ha, in the vicinity of the Atlantic, utterly annihilated the tiilc; which formerly hunted on its I oideis, :j the source of the great flood of emigration, which ct this moment rolls its mountainous waves in such vast volumes westward. A vigoious lising genet .it ton mc?t have a field tor their cxeiti. ns. This u l:ir Irn.i, C j t )n n, . .11 u 1 n the contrary , their d crease has been ccn-L4r,.;,, ,i.r .1.1 as rapid as their annihilation is sure. All with the exitption of the Choctaw and Cherokee, have adhered steadily 10 their ancient habits; and unfortunate i v for them, they are habits by the pursuo of whnh, in a civilized country, they cannot exist. But this remark, though gener d, is not universal. Portions of the irdrg mentioned have been reclaimed from th ir ancient pursuits, and me making rapid advances in civilization and the cultivation of the useful arts. '1 hey have been biought to this, as wed by the precepts as the examples of their more cultivated neighbors. The latter have established a foi rn of government ; and the rights which they actually possessed, have been acknowledged, strengthened, and stipulated to them, by the official acts of the government of the United Slates. Where is this liberal, this generous policy of which the pretadent speaks? is il iu exterminating their race? Is it in di iving them from the face of the earth; or compelling them to submit to cruel and oppressive laws? which, however, is only a readier method of bringing about the same object! I confess I cannot eee r shadow of liberality or generosity in this. We mav be said to possess the soil of the original United States by right of discovery, and conquest or revolution. By w hut right the aborigines possessed it, w e know not, nor have we any power to judge; but that they did possess it, is enough for ub to know. The title of the Indians to their lands has been acknowledged by the United States government; and not a foot has been obtained without their permission. If the states have je right to extend their laws oyer them, or the g' n e ral government to extinguish their i-tfc without their consent, where has been the necessity for expending hundreds of ti "Usands of dollars, in treaties of purrh a --of But says the president, "the geneiai government is bound to extinguish th" ian title, k.c. and it is unhappy for him, that he, at the same time, forgot to uiootiorj another provision, i. e. with their jerm siion. It is fortunate for the wesicm states that they have been found willing to dispose of iheir lands, at a reasonable valuntion, and remove to the west; and .... 1 ,, it t the treaties made with them have alrea dy nearly accomplished the object so much desired ; but had they been found otherwise disposed, they must have remained in the hands of the original otvners. These same treaties, and this undisputed acknowledgment, on the part of the general government, of their right to the soil, have forever established the correctness of a maxim, which I have understood has met with general acceptance in. all countries, that "two parties are required to make a bargain " All portion? of their territory, therefore, of which they have recently been dispossessed. ha; e been obtained on the fair terms of bargain and sale. It it true, the United States ha r the joz:cr, because they have the ttmith to wrest their lands from them, and compel their subjection at any moment; and admitting the correctness of the maxim which has been so much deprecated by freemen, that "the strong rnu-t pull down the weak," they have the riht. But where has this summary justice its origin? Is it derived. a the president see .us 10 think, from situation or contiguity? If 13 true, we own the lands on every ide of them. But snppo-e the United States had purchased from Spain the province of Texas, previous to the purchase of Louisiana from France. There wauhj have been nothing impossible, and perhaps nothing impolitic in this tnea-uto Perhap- we had the power, and if so, undoubtedly the right, according to the same, principle, of extending our jurisdiction ove r the territory of Louisiana, in def. 1 ance of the power of France, and of conturning it until the actual purrha-e treaty.
