it from the ervateat of modern tateimrn, I'Jmund Hurkc. He urged its adoption on the British government, in the early rt;i(jes of our revolution, and if the o'.'stii: ' - and infatuated statesman Lord North then at the head of affairs had listened to his warning voice, it may he douhtd whether our revolution would have taken placr;hut events were ordered otherwise. The voice of wisdom was unheeded, and the revolution followed, with all its consequences, which have so greatly hanged the condition of the woild. I have thus hastily, and without the advantage of previous reflection, replied to ihe arguments of the Senator from .Massachusetts. I would have been much gratified, if a course better suited the magnitude of the subject, and more favorable for full and deliberate discussion, bad been adopted; but as it is, 1 have passed ovf r no argument as far as I can remember, which he advanced, and I trust, have replied to none which I have not successfully refuted. 1 shall now conclude with a few remarks in replv to the Senator from New Jersey, (Mr.' Southard.) lie tells us that lie will not bid for the new states. (I regret, said Mr. C, that I do not sec him in his place.) Docs he mean to intimate, that in introducing this bill, I am bidding for them? If he does, I throw back, the injurious imputation. I indignantly repel the charge. No, sir, I am not a bidder. What I have done, has been from an honest conviction of duty; and not less for the benefit of the old than the new states. The measure I conseien tiouslv believe would bo alike servicea ble to both, M. Southard", who had been absent, here returned to the chamber. Mr. C. seeing him, repeated his remarks, on which Mr. S. disclaimed having said any thing like what Mr. C. understood him to have said. On which Mr. C. resumed. I am happy to hear it. I felt confident that the Senator could not intend to cast so injurious an imputation on me, and I rejoice to hear from his own lips the frank and honorable disclosure lie has made. But I not only believe the measure to be beneficial and expedient, but I firmly believe it to be indispensible, in order to restore the Government to a sound and healthy condition. The tendency of our system to centralism, with its ruinous consequences, an be no longer denied. To counteract this, its patronage must be curtailed. There are be three great sources to whieh its immense patronace may be mainly traced, and by which the Government is enabled to exert such an immense eontrol over the public opinion the pubTie lands, the 1'ost-utiice, and the currentr. The first may be entirely removed This Viill will cut ii up, nwi iuvl tixncU Uv a jirsle stroke we would not oniv re trench this growing and almost boundless source of patronage, but also free our eelves from the pressure ot an immense mass of business which encumbers our legislation, and divides and distracts our attention; and this would be done without impairing, in the long run, our pecuniary resources. In addition, the measure would place the Senators from the new states on the same equal n-' " independent footing in this chambe. s.. . ourselves. In such results who v- not reioiee? The Senators from the new states would especially have cause to rejoice in the change. Relieve them from dependant condition of their states, and they would be found in the front ranks, sustaining the laws end the constitution against the encroachments of power. But the Senator from New Jersey tells us that we have no power to pass this bill, as it would be in violation of the ordinance, which makes the public land a eommon fund for the benefit of all the tates, and that we, as trustees, are bound to administer it strictly in reference to the object of the trust. In reply I might ask the Senator how he can reconcile his construction of the ordinance with the constant practice of the Government, in which, if I mistake not, it has been sustained by his vote? How many grants have been made ont of the public domain to f colleges, academies, asylums for the deaf and dumb, and other institutions of like character? If such concessions be consistent with the provisions of the ordinance, what prevents this bill from being so also? But I rest not my reply on that ground. I meet the Senator according to his interpretation of the ordinance. I assert boldly the disposition this bill proposes to make of the portion of public domain within the new states, is the verv best under existing circumstances that can be made, regarding in reference to the eommon interest of all the states. Let jt be borne in minci that all sides agree the new states will soon be able to com mand their terms, when others less favor able to ttie common interest may dc imposed. If we of the old states make it a point to hold on to the last, they will by i necessary re-action, make a point to extort all thev can when they get the power. But if we yield in time, a durable arrangement may be made mutually beneficial and satisfactory to both parties The Senator farther objects, that if this bill should pass, its provisions would be extended from necessity to all states which may hereafter be admitted into the Union. I must say, I see no such neces sity: but mv present impression is that euch would be the course that wisdom would dictate. According to my mode of thinking, all the revenue we may derie from the sales of land in a state, af ter its admission, is not to be compared in importance to us lnuenenaenee as a eovereign member of the Union; for there it n9 danger or trie tailing oi our mstitu ti5 for "ant of peeuniary means

S vn kday, Arun, I, 1837. DKFKKlvF.D AltTlCLl'JS. We had not in due time, measured the Kitchen Cabinet's Farewell, and the Inaugural of Mr. Van Buren, which almost exclusively occupied our last week's paper, or we should have postponed one of them for matter previously prepared and in type, of which we now give the following: The Terre-IIaule Courier seems to be intent upon its false premises to make an "ex. member of Congress" sutler political martyrdom for our expressed doubts of the propriety and policy of continuing the central canal to Lvansville. The course of that paper towards the gentleman allu ded to, has always been of a like kind du ring his canvass, and when he was elect ed, no paper in the state was more subser vient to his views or more ready to defend his course. We corrected the false charge of "malign influence' that paper brought forward. We now state to Mr. Howling that the ex-member has no concern in our editorial matter, and wc rejoice if it be that our opinions in relation to the canal south of White river to Fvansville, correspond with the father of internal improvement in our state. The Courier on ly shows its malice, and should discuss the value of the expensive and unnrcessa rv extension to Fvansville, without defam ing one who has rendered signal services as an internal improvement man. No man of common sense can view those who object to that extension, as opposed to the other proper and necessary works in the "system," as it is termed. The facts we promulge cannot be blotted out by rant and falsehood. The Plough Boy, published by J. W. Osborn, charges us with saying "there is the cross-cut canal, and the canal lroin Lafayette to Terre-llaute; the one runs thro a poor country, connecting two rivers, while the other follows the direction of a river; they can be dispensed with." This is of a piece with the false charges made against us in relation to the same subject matter in other quarters intended to de ceive the readers of that paper, but lew of whom may know what we have said, and published no doubt with an oblique view to operate unjustly in the approaching con gressional contest. Our readers know the chaige of the I'lounh Boy is gratuitous. Our remarks tending to show the folly of S)rnJhit; large sums uf borrowed monev to construct a canal south of the forks ol hitc river, cannot make us inimical to the the cross-cut from Terre-Haute; nor our conviction that the Wabash and Erie Canal should have stopped at Lafayette, will not cause any rational man to believe we are opposed to the entire system. Such attempts to injure and delude, argues the existence ol political designs, that on ly need exposure to banish into "thin air." - .'in .Iddressto Voting Men will be de Iivered at the Presbyterian Church tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock.

From Nathan'l Ilammatt of Vincennes. The memory of Samuel Smith. From the Wuxhington RrJ'nrmtr. Tbo progress of Royalty. The Vatcant. We have not before alluded to the late on 'mat ion scene (tor such it has been called by some more favorable to the Usurper than wc)siinply because the whole parade was such as we felt unwilling to describe. The "pride, pomp and circumstance" which were made to grace the royal ceremony filled inanv other bosoms beside our: with sentiments of disgust and indignation. Ma ny retired from the scene with solemn convictions that this country is rapidly travelling the downward road to mingle with the eommon dust of past Republics. It was humiliating to behold thomands of rational beings congregated together to worship the mere idols of their own framing, (iazing up on the assembled multitude we eould not but contrast the scene with that when the Father of his Country took the oath of otlico. lie did so in a quiet chamber, before a few witnesses no gathering together of the multitudes no splendid pageant no glittering equipage no sounds of martial music no trainbands with brandished swords ami fied bayonets no declamatory appeals no loud huzzas no pomp of ceremony, nor toral pride of bearing, were deemed necessity to signali.e the event. An honest patriot took an honest oath in piivate, to support the constitution of his country a country he had saved from the fetters of a foreign tyrannv. Hut, in tho ease to which we now refer, far dill'cront was tho scene all the circumstances and ceremonies we have recounted above were made to yield their Garnish tribute to the sickening scene. As a nation sinks in spirit, and ihe love of liberty and independence waxes cold, the gorgeous trumpery of outward forms ,V ceremonies rise opto aniu-e, to deceive, cV to enslave. Kings owe the possession of their power to the glitter of their crow ns the splendor of their courts and the solemn pomp and para.il ol their ceremonies. .Mr. an ISuren well knows this and he has adopted the proper course to sus tain his usurpation. Men are so constituted as ti be ever made the willing dupes of show and ceremony. When we saw him approaching the gap ing crowu, seated by the side ol Ins departed majesty, draw n by four stately steeds, in a splendid vehicle made of iu'fri!;n:entx of the cimrtilutiun, (significant fact!) surrounded by armed bands in guttering tiappings, und marshalled by the clang ing sounds of instruments playing the celebratei! roval cott s air, " v i:a ll hk rixg lie r I iiahlik!-' we could realize nothing that claimi d tin sliahtcst connection w ith the simplicity of a re publican government but every thing that be longed to a roval procession passing into Westminster Hall. " It was a COKONATIOX in all except the crown. The glittering bauble was ab sent but nothinn cl.-e. similar rellections passed through other minds; and we heard from more lip' than one, when the armed cavalcade w as seen ad vancing, the unothered tones of Mippresscd iiidi' nation "This is Uo bud.''' The sec::- continued.

Other of the nobiiity gathered around them, and the speeih was read to the greedy and gaj ing subjects. "o interruption w as made, save when a large man, who appeared in front of the throne, waved a wand in order to instruct the hearcis when to shout. A few and, for the sake of the national honor, we aro glad to sav bit a few obeved the indication?. The oaths were administered the muic. stimk up the trained bands fell into line and the gorgeous array proceeded to the palace to hail t'.ie I surp.er in his princely halls. Wc were riot of them. We had seen enough to convince us that the pro gress of royalty was more rapid in this country than w e had anticipated. We cared not to witness the conclusion of the pageant, but we under stood that a yet more remarkable part of the cere mony was acted before the palace. An armed force was stationed at the door with fixed bayonets. to keep oil" the "ititiii mechanics, who might feel curious to pry into the secrets of the royal household. Many humble eitieens we hear, were Iriven back at the bayonet's point. We do not vouch for this on our ow n observation, but the authoiitv on which the statement is made may, wc think be relied on! Now then let the people think cf these things. If thev are tired of the republican simplicity of their tiovenimenr, let them say so. e w ill an swer for it, that those who are now m power arc as tired of it as thry. If thev want a king, they m a v know that the significant tunc has already been struck up, " Wlta'U It King hut Charlie?'' Tho Fetters of the Press. In the following remarks, from the cel ebrated Dr. Channinr, of Hoston, wc think no one who has had any experience in the conduct of a newspaper press, will hesitate to concur. Free as our country is,- perhaps there is no other nation, which enjoys the benefit of an enlightened press where the latter is, at times, more tram meled, than is our own, by the despotism ol party individuals. It is unreasonable to expect, that the interests of law, truth, and good government, can be long and successfully vindicated, unless the community sustain, on the part of the conductors, of the press, the utmost freedom and lib erality of opinion, consistent with the claims of individual justice and general morality. With us no man should be proscribed for his political sentiments; and perhaps Mr. Jellerson uttered one of his finest sayings, when he remarked, that there ireis no danger in error, as long as truth was Iff t free to combat it. Let every man be heard. 1 mie will test the truth and substance of his doctrines: South .Idv. "The newspaper press is fettered among us by its dependence on subscribers, among whom there are not a few in tolerant enough to withdraw their patronage, if an editor give publicity to articles which contradict their cherished opinions or shock their party prejudices, or seem to clash with their interests. In sucli a state of things, few newspapers can be expected to afTord to an unpopular individual or party, however philanthropic and irreproachable, an opportunity of being heard by the public. Editors engage in their vocation like other men for a support; and communications, which will thin their subscription list, will of course find little favor at their hand. Much reproach is iomtimet thrown on thera for

their want of moral independence; but!

u.o.w.w. v of the community. One result of this state of things is, that the newspaper press fails of one of its chief duties, which is to stem corrupt opinion, to stay the. excesses of popular passions. It generally swells, seldom arrests the violence of the multitude. The very subjects, on which the public mind may most need to be reformed, arc most likely to be excluded from its columns. Another evil result is, the increase of the number and violence of parties. Conscientious men who cannot obtain a heariiio; through the common newspapers, arc compelled to league for the support of papers, of their own, and in speaking through these organs they are tempted to an extravagance and bitterness which they would hate shunned, had they used other vehicles. I have understood that a principle cause for the formation of the Antimasonic party was the fact, that after the abduction and murder of Morgan, most of our editors shrunk fiom exposing the attrociou;ness of that outrage, lest they should lose their masonic subscribers. 'I cannot easily conceive of a greater good to a city, than the establishment of a newspaper by men of superior ability and moral independence, who should judge all parties and public measures by the standard of the Christian law, who should uncompromisingly speak the truth and adhere to the right, w ho should make it their steady aim to form a just and lnfiy public sentiment, and who should, at the same lime, give to upright and honorable men an opportunity of making known their opinions on matters of general interest, however opposed to the opinions and passions of the day. In the present stage, of society, when newspapers form the reading of all classes, and the chief reading of multitudes, the importance of the daily press cannot be overrated. It is a jiowcr which should be wielded by the best minds in the community. The ollice of editor is one of solemn responsibility, and the community should encourage the most gifted and virtuous men to assume it, by libera'ly compensating their labor, and by according to them that freedom cf thought and speech, without which no mind puts forth all its vigor, and which the highest minds rank among their dearest rights and Messincfs. In the foregoing brief extract there is much serious and important truth that pvery friend of our free institutions should rflect upon attentively. . - e Illinois. The Legislature has adjourn ed.

Tho salutary elici ts of the proceedings of tho Society, as evidenced in every public manner, mure particularly by a plcasini; incn a.-e of members, are truly Kiatify iii; and continued action cannct now fail to produce lasting bcnetlt. We have been remise in our intercourse with the present such tv; this can be remedied by appointing delegates the present year, and the movements of all our si ter si cieties throughout the state, will then become familiar.

There were certain ly some remarkably fine animals -f various kinds exhibited at the 1 1st Fair; and the specimens of dillcrent kinds of woolen manufacture fir ri. ellcd any previous display one omission in rela tion to premiums, should not airain occur; the name of the produce, or owner of the article should invariablv be published. Mere desire of uain selm yields, or strives to yield, any tiling above. mediocrity; lmt iiuhliMi the distinction and honor follows this will enhance the intrinsic value and extend the influence of all our proceedings. One other siuzirestion: the addiess of last ve.ir was not published in pamphlet form, and no expense was incurred to the sccicty by its publication in a newspaper. Would it not be tiettcr to cive such mat--'' tcr hereafter, the more interestiuir and prominent lorm ot a pamphlet! A portion of this board think that the money required for this purpose cannot be more usefully expended. It is believed the society should act upon enlarged views as occasion requires, and the most inteliiireiit farmer will not hesitate to say, he can still learn something of the business he follows by reading about it. Throughout our state, the farmers are awakening to their true interest; and an interchange of thought with the annals of each society (as seems to have been contemplated by the fith clause of the 2nd article of your constitution.) would certainlv prove to be beneficial. The Hoard hr.vp re-retted to learn that Mr. Judah has resigned his station as President of the society. The distinguished intelligence and zeal, with w hich he pursued proper measures to promote the object of onr organization; and his unremitting sense of duly, strengthened by the evidence aflorded of rendering desired service, leaTe the society largely indebted to him, and should be long reoiruiorreo.
