J ij.y FOR PRESIDENT. WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON. W2IIO NOMINATION FOR CONORESS, Second Congressional District. We arc authorized to announce Wra. Bruce. Esq., as a candidate for Coroner, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. II. P. Drokaw resigned. Vv'e make some observations to-day on Professor Espv's lectures lately published in the Indiana Journal. SUB-TREASURY. In the late address of the President at New York, allusion is specially made to the Sub-treasury. The measures of Mr. Van Buren, from his entrance into office to the present hour, have been maikcd by an apparent consistency but this consistency, if minutely examined, will be found fjr more devious than most people are aware who have not paid special attention si. ee the commencement of his Administration to the springs of political movements. v-errral Jackson wa rash, impetuous p. ml ambitious. lie could not brook opposition to his will in the veriest trifle; anJ the strongest tie tint bound around him the adherents of his cause was the devotedness he believed them to entertain toward himself. The whole Executive machine, and every .department of government, he essayed to rontrol. Blind to his own faults, he was ignorant of the rule bv which, to quota Mr. Van Buren.

the government become so independent of i the people, as that they can. like their predecessors of the A V I and XV 11 centulics, compel the people to obey what they choose to promulge, and we have revived all the anarchy, bloodshed, and de spotism, that characterised that awful period. Resuming, from this diversion, our first argument, we don't pretend to deem the citation of authorities requisite in proof of the assertion (unfortunately they are too aim ilant) that a'most every measure of the late administration originated wlilt the prcsrnf. adminixfratian, ami that a hot-headed soldier wa? made the scapegoat of their poi ca! delinquencies. It is but t 10 plain, that the possession niisco.itro'ded by any political party, of the monetary power of a countiy," has been in Europe the foundation of despotism, and if men, as to their passions, feelings and intellect, are the same imderdespotic government that thev are under free, and that these despotisms were founded upon the monopolization of monetary and political power, what guarantee have we in the event of such a junction for our freedom? Reason, history, and the common sense of mankind, are against adducing at) affirmative to such a position.

This then is the pill Mr. Van Buren and j

his associates have gilded with "consistency," and dark will that day be to the American people, when a scheme, ihe most despotic that ever emanated from a human mind, shall have become practical; and lulled to sleep bv the soporific diplomacy of the " Little Jfagiciwi," their first intimation of danger will be to feel upon their throats the cold keen razored edge of calculating self-interest. Supporters of Dr. Davis, beware of your constituent's piinciples. We don't say he is a dishonest man, but how many a leader's blindness has not been discovered till he had accomplished the ruin of his followers." Proffssor Ersv's Lectures. In the Western Sun of last week, we perceive allusion is made to this gentleman. In a country like ours, where all pursuits are of practical character, the abstract opinions of philosophers will be far more likely to meet wih a cold reception or be treated with ridicule, than in Europe. There, for many centuries, with objects far ditierent from ours, the possession cf wealth by hereditary descent permit? many men to indulge to their fullest desire, tastes that practical men might deem nonsense, and give an unusual aspect to society. Even in the middle ages when scarce one in a thousand could read, learning gave the priesthood their ascendancy, atid, at the time of diaries V, the light which so suddenly burst upon Europe, owed its origin to the revival of letters. One of the noblest features of learning is to shew the mind its wants and direct inquiry to the true sources of information. j For this, Natural Philosophy is well auapteJ. It is a study fascinating in a remarkable degree. There is something in the study of nature that affords to the mind a high, and holy pleasure, that elevates while ii expands, and affords a grrtiricalion which the man continually occupied .- i . . - . in practical pursuits cannot appreciate, uui wiac'i the student of nature would sactifice almost any tiling to attain. Of this, a remarkable instance is seen in Sir W. Scott's writings. Scenery under his pen aco.uued a magic charm, susperior often to that imparted to the practical cys of the delineated canvvs. Instances of this nowf r of scenery u pm his min i after it had its wonted vig.;r, at.d of the ivid pleasure imparled hy the scenery ol his ludovt-d Abbotsford. on his return from Names, just before bis death, illustrate the t Kir How ih.-hghful the writings ofLeijjl writings Religion beneath his pe;i I .. iim j i :et!'-!sm, ana wa.ss an r-nge of light, dispe;tinr blessings uhcre'er t he treads, and raising the soul "from n at tin u r to numro 5 Vtj. l e v mMi pic)untered in hi famiiv more trials than he, vet was he always tranquil as the summers lake at the close of day.

They have formed connec tions with the captains of vessels and others requiring them to note particular atmospheric appearances, under peculiar circumstances. The servic s of Professor Silliman perhaps the first philosopher of the. age, have been enlisted (if we are rightly lnlormed) by the European Socie ties. ISow we appeal to the national pride of Americans, if it he fair to treat as attention of the first scholars in Europ u h are proud to enlist Silliman in their ranks; and if they would not feel it a national disgrace, when their opinions shall have been fully undcrstoou and reduced to practice, that the honor of their discovery should be wrested from America and enjoyed by Europe. 'J 'his subject will be continued, and the tjiounds of Professor Espy's opinion gleaned from the scintillations of imaf inati on shew to be in accordance with common sense, and comprehensible to the understanding of a child. Zjr ft WABASH IJIVEK. Quore. If the S 500,00 ) wasted last year by the merchants of the Wabash valley in bringing their goods over the shoals and IJapida was now in their pockets; if the amount of time thus spent, with aggravation and annoyance was spent in their stores, making money, and tha' without annoyance; if the appropriation had been properly expended, and the obstacles removed; if the imports and exports, bv the alTmlidg due facilities, wen thirty millions instead of ten, would an beuefit arise to the citizens of Vincetmes? If a Convention is held at Viacenacs, dep

All w ho think attention to the matter unnecessary, should take no trouble about it. From the Alawit Carmd Register. I UBLIC WORKS. In our last, we took occasion to speak of the snail like maich of the Public Works in this district. Since then, our Commissioner has paid us a visit, but, as far as we could learn, nothing was done the Commissioner on the part of Indiana to co-operate in devising ways and means for the completion of the dam across the Great Wabash, and the Grand Rapids, having failed to attend. We have heard no reasons assigned for his absence. Our Commissioner has returned home, and we suppose he will lake his favorite seat in his counting room. A friend at our elbow suggests to us, that his resignation would be acceptable to the people. The people interested in the speedy completion of the Public Works in this district, have forborne until forbearance is no longer a virtue; it is now high time for them to look to their best interests, for they have now the most conclusive evidence that unless they do, the work will never be completed. A convention composed of delegates from the counties in Illinois and Indiana, bordering on the Wabash, is to meet at Vincenncs in October next, at which time, if not sooner, this insufferable delay may be looked into. The time has now arrived for the people of the upper Vv abash to apeak out, for it is useless for those of the lower Wabash, on whom heretofore the icholc burden has been thrown, to struggle alone any longer.

Caddingfon Permit me through the columns of your excellent paper, to make a few brief remaiks winch will perhaps, have a tendency of bringing forward some pen, more able to elucidate the matter than my own. In your last Gazette, I perceive the magistrates of our borough hive given the "colored citizens" who have came here within the last eight years, a legal notice to come forward and give their bonds for good behavior, or leave the State by the first of August, otherwise they will be dealt with according to law. Now this is all very well, and I hare no doubt that our magistrates will boldly do 'heir duty in strict accordance to their "official oaths," and will be sustained by nine tenths of the people; but is there not some

danger that many of our worthy citizens such ridiculous associations, or been made will fill up the bonds for a large number of the occasion of so many nonsensical ab'negro citizens" without being aware of surdities, as the death of the late Hon.

the danger we are all placed in at this ' time! What assurance have we of the good behaviour of the colored population, for any length of time, when 'tis known that a number of abolition preachers are

at this time travelling throughout the country, and by exciting sermons, appealing to the feelings of the negroes, calling on them to arouse from their lethargy and strike for freedom, and to liberate their colored brethren who they represent to be groaning1 under the lashes of inhuman masters, in a large portion of the United States. Now sir, 'tis something astonishing, that the intelligent citizens do permit such inllamatory proceedings as these to exist. Why do the magistrates who are bound by a sacred oath to the free white inhabitants, to support and maintain the constitutional laws of the State why do they permit a community to be overrun by hordes of refugee negroes from other States, when they know the laws of Indiana are violated by permitting them to settle without complying strictly to an act "referring to negroes and peope of color?" Our laws are positively enforced against white citizens, who are alone the independent lords of a land won by the gallantry and bravery oi our fathers! Shall we quietly submit to this migration of populace to come among us, and in their miscalled '"religious meetings," assert their rights by tfTreiTis and menaces to an equality with the white man? Davis and Guinri have bath declared, that the whites should acknowledge the African's equality; if not peaceably, streams of blood should compel them. Such assertions should be attended to not only at Vincennes, but throughout the whole State. I have but one word more ere I close. Let our magistrates but pursue the course 'hey have so ne'dy begun be rigid i . enforcing the jus'i'.e a( a good and wholesome law, made by the wise counsellors of this our beloved land and in discharging the functions of their respective offices, given to yon bv independent freemen, be assured tha freemen will sustain you in your course.

The frequent cannona(UngJhat we hear from the Government Vessels, and Forts, and Positions in our Harbor, create inquiry as to the cause, but these are the honors of course, in which the public do not participate Theviiito Brooklyn on Sunday has caused much conversation. It was announced that Mr. Van Buren was to visit I,llie Savy -mh ulit as he turned off without visiting it, curiosity was on tiptoe to ascertain the reason why. We tlo not know that we are possessed of all the facts, but by the best information we are enabled to get, we learn that some difficulty arose between the Body Guard of Mr. Van Buren, known as the Committee of Tammany Hall, and Com. Ridgely The facts are stated to be pretty much thus wise. Mr. Van Buren ?ent a note to the Commodore expressive of his inten tion to visit the iSavy Yard. To this an answer was returned that the Commodore wouhl feel highly gratifid to receive the 1 resuient, and that the Barges under his control should be employed in conducting mm to the ard. This did not suit the views of the committee, who were desi rous o billetting themselves on the Com mander's hospitality under cover of an honorary attendance on the President. They therefore intimated that their com pany was indispensable. The Commodore replied that for such a purpsse the barges could not be used. The Committee then offered t. charter a steamboat for the occasion, but the Commodore peremp torily refused to admit such a heterogeneous collection as would necessarily take passage in her, into the Yard. On this Mr. Van Buren at the instigation of the Committee, sent the Commodore notice that "he need not pat himself to the trouble of making any preparation, as he should not visit the place." "the lamented cilley." Never has an incident so serious and melancholy in itself, been connected with Jonathan Cillev. The last and most In dicrous attempt to connect this affair with party politics, occurred in the Senate of this State, towards the close of the late session; and although it is not the first

time the honorable gentleman concerned has made himself ridiculous, we doubt whether he ever displayed his talents in quite so farcial a light before. The story is too good to be lost. The subject under discussion was the petition of a young man, a native of Maine, for release from our Stale prison, where he had been confined for the crime of passing counterfeit money. Mr. Senator Wighttnan, (who, by the way, has exhibited throughout the session an uncontrollable share of the cacoeflies loquendi,) advocated the petition with more than usual blandncss and suavity of manner. The prisoner, he said, previous to the commission of this offence, had maintained a good reputation, being an industrious man, of much enterprise and excellent prospect, but. owing to the death of "the lamented CUley,''' he became much excited m politics, and engaged in the democratic cause with so much zeal, as to neglect his business, 3tid thus becoming embarrassed, he had fallen into the hands of an accomplished villain, and had in this way been led estray. This, with some other circumstances, he thought, should commend the petition to the favorable consideration of the Senate, and he hoped the release would be granted. Mr. Rockwell replied, that he really could not conceive how the death of "the lamented Cillev" could have any connec

tion with this case, as it so happened that the young man had bee., in the Stale prison some two oi three years before the death of the "lamented Cilley" took place! fit seems the petitioner was sentenced in 18 ?5. This was a poser which even the "brassfacitiveness" of Slillman K. Wightman could not stand; those who have ev er seen the man when a little discomfitted, may imagine how "lamentably silley"" he looked and after a few rather severe remarks from Mr. Butler, upon the conduct of the Senator in diagging such matter into the discussion, Mr. Wjghtman apolo gized as well as he could, for introducing the subject, and took his seat. lie doubt less felt very much like evaporating or "taking horse for Canada. Hartford Courier. VOCAL MUSIC IN SCHOOLS. There is no exercise of which children are peuerally more fond than singing; and none, perhaps, better calculated to make them like their school. Singing has also a harmonizing influence on the ieelings; so that it is almost impossible for bad passions to ho'd a predominance in the hearts of companions, while their voices are mingling sweet sounds. It is an inter esting and wonuerhil iact, that ov our physical constitution, we are almost incapable of siiunnc well while our feelings are excited by evil influences of any kind; and. at the same time, with the at tempt to sing naturally, we make an exertion to suppress any feelings of discontent or vexation which we may experience. The teacher sou hi bestow some attention to this subject; and, if he becomes convinced of what appears to us to be true beyond contradiction, he will be anxious to avail himself of so easy, pleasant and efficacious a remedy for many of the oulwaid humors among his pupils which are likely often to embarrass him in the instruction or government of them. Children frequently enter the school loom in a frame of mind unfavorable to study or orderly behaviour. The fear of punishment or the influence of the teacher's presence, may overawe oi suppress the exhibition of their feelings; but this state of mind is not the best for study or improvement of any kind. In many cases the child is not to blame, or but partly so, for what he feels. He may be weary, or ill, or sum ring under ill treatment at home, or from a schoolmate; and frowns or blows, though they may prevent him from saying or doing what he feels inclined to, will not give that desire for his books, or that docile disposition which are necessary to the most successful prosecution of his tasks. Now a tranquilizing exercise, like that of singing some cheerful, or solemn hymn, if introduced at his entrance into the school room, wiil often accomplish the desired change in his feeliiifs, reverse the course of his thoughts, cause his irritation to subside, excite sentiments of kindness and affection towards his teacher and his fellows, kindle a desire for knowledge, impress into him right views of his Maker and his duty. Besides, music, if taught scientifically, is truly and eminently an intellectual branch of instruction; and is of great use in training the mind to attention, observation and systematic deduction, &c. Vocal music also requires a very healthful exercise of the muscels of the chest and throat, and therefore deserves to be ranked among the importantbranches of physical education. It renders an upright position necessary, and gives the chest a strong and frequent expansion, introducing a large supply of air into the lungs, strengthening ihe voice by use, and accustoming the organs of speech to a deliberate, strong and correct mode of enunciation, greatly favorable to good habits of pronunciation. Those teachers who are able to sing, should begin, without delay, to teach their pupils a few hymns and moral songs, to be sung daily in school; and those who know any thing of the science of music, will find still greater account in adding occasional brief instructions in the elemejits, with the aid of the black-board. The use of slates by the pupils is recommended in this, as in many other cases. We can assure our readers, from many actual observations, as we'd as from experiments we have made in numerous in stances, that one hour in a week is suffi cient to teach a Urge schoo! much impor-

The arrangements are all on a great scale as it is necessary they should be; for it was found last evening that the number of children who would go, w ould be from twelve lo fourteen thousand; and of parents and teachers, some two thousand more. To accommodate this Lilliputian army, the following provision has been made: 4 Steamboats. 9 Towboats, averaging 400 tonJ each. 2,300 lbs. corned beef, boiled. 200 neats' tongues. 6 pigs, roasted whole. 2,300 loaves of bread 20 bbls. of sugar and butter-cracker. 40 hhds. pure water. One division of the boats will start from Pike street, on the East River, and the other from the foot of Hubert street, on the Hudson. Both divisions will proceed to Staten 1-land, where the company will debark for the Pine Grove on the summit back of the Pavillion. more delightful place is hardly to be found on earth. There some hours will be spent in singing, speaking, playing, and every thing fitted to the occasion. A large number of our most respectable citizens will join in this feast of benevolence. monar them will be the Governor of the State, and probably the president of the United Sta'es, though botii will appear as private citizens merely. The boats are furnished gratuitously by four Transportation Companies, viz: the Troy, Swiftsure, Eckford, and Albany and Canal lines. The use of the borts is worth a large sum, but they are furnished gratuitously, and about 83.000 besides has been expended, which sum hap been very easily raised by the contributions of our citizens. A number of teachers have devoted themselves for some weeks almost wholly to the business, and, lake it all in all, they have made it one cf the mot beautful expeditions ever got up. Jour, of Com.

Moore and Field ing Davis, on the 2T:h June, on the Louisiana side of the line, about ten miles below Woodvillc, which resulted in the death of the former. They fought with rifles at a present distance o ) yards. Mr. Davishot Moore in the left side, the ball entering about half an inch below the top of the hip bone. Mr. Moore died in a few minutes. He fcll vvithout being able to shoot at all. Mr. Davis fired immediately after the word one. Mr. Moore challenged Mr. Davis without wailing for the latter to reply to his (Mr. M's) publication in the newspaper?. We also regret to stats that Mr. Leih, who was scvere'y wounded in the former affray, is rapidly sinking, and cannot, it is feared, survive many days. Messrs. Moore and Davis were both heads of families. Before high heaven tiny had vowed to protect and defend those who reposed in them their whole happin;ss. The widow's tear and the orphan's lament proclaim the hoilow-heart-edness and heaven-daring mockery of a "code" whose every requisition is for blood, whose injunctions are the "tender mercies" of fiends without remorse, ar.d whose self-appointed victims are " at once despatched, ' Cut off even in the li.'ossoms of their sir., "Unhousel'd, disappointed, unnanr.cal'd, "No reckoning maJ ?, but sent to tht ir account "With all tiieir imperfections cn their hcaJ!"
