1 l11 ' rzr-: More than Disgraceful. In common with tllo -roat ma of iV-c men who laboured for i!m promotion of the i people's interest, and tho orcritv of the Union, to elevate John TYIer' to fL Vir p,,(;., m- i , , , , l itiiemy (ins name havinir been niece i i upon the Whiij ticket,) we confess we felt disappointed, chagrined, and some hat embarrassed, at the news cf the veto of the Bill, and the channel through which the first information reached tiiis town, (a communication from the recenth- rtppointed Commissioner of the General Land Office to a late Van Uuren oiTieo holder,) was not calculated to lessen our mortification. Men who can play the part of Thersitcsin politics, cannot he Wh's, und that the same John Tyler (as .Mr. Prentice ver3' correctly styles him, '"our chance, medley President,") should sign the bill repealing the spoils Sub-Treasury scheme, and at the same time, attempt to impose the "one man power" upon his Whig supporters who were know n to abhur it, was well calculated to excite indignant surprise. Van Luren assumed that "the people expected too much of the Government," when a faithful performance of duty under the constitution w as alone asked or desired of him an 1 those v. ho heedlessly rejoice at he "one man power" veto, exercised by Mr. President Tyler now. are of the gang of numb ig voi.Id-bc-oa'iled-Domocra!t, who sustain ! that disgraceful an.l injurious assumption. Our neighbour of the Vi estern Sun, has had his own views and motives in the course he has advocated, through the medium of his press, of the I e!o power: and if his publications can possibly mould tho opinions of a true democrat in any particular, we think he should be better instructed. In truth, the opinions of editors who sustained the ruinous course of measures which brought the country into its present distressed condition, when they were the mere echoes of an arrogant and in'olerant predominant party, are now of small consequence with all those who reflect. Their political empiricism is known to be as dangerous to truth and sound principles, as the nostrums of the mountebank Quack are to bodily health intelligence and independence can alone guard against the one, as an invulnerable constitution bears up against the other. Rut it is known that lor party purposes, the one will assert or relate anv tiling in the face of truth, an.! the other for cain, will pretend to detect some latent disease amputate, or nTvc-irtali", or !hr.:?t seme trash cf roots or p lWs. and skam at you, too often to the outrage of common sense. So it is with our neighbour and his Sun; but every bane carries its antidote; and the efforts of that press to pull down, is proof of its party in de-,p;.ir to rise therefore their known demerit can be rendered tho more conspicuous! Ii hi3 long been proclaimed that Van Huron politics is a game of chance no fixed principles all thmgs for power an.l office; and the joy manifested at the eeto of President Tyler, by firing of cannon and the .".'tempt to convert (he act of a few unknown heedless lot,-.?, in stuffing an efligy of straw in the dead of night, to alarm yelping dogj, into a Whig party action, as evinced in the Jasf Western Sun, is evidence of the fact. The Loco Foco leaders are desperate; and to excite division and distention, and displeasure in the Whig rank", even at the sacrifice of truth and public happiness, seems to be their aim. That our neighbour should advocate the one man veto-power, against the opinion of the father of our country Washington, w ho signed the first Bank Bill, is in perfect accord with his spoils party leaders. Tho fathers of our Union were not it seems, half as wise as the leaders of this Van Buren spoils faction, and a "one man government" not a republic, seems really to be their ulterior object. If it had been ascertained that Mr. Tyler cherished the fallacious doctrine of absurd abstractions which his veto message involves, he never by any chance or contingency, could have attained his present station by Whig votes. But let that pass for the present, inasmuch as this Whig administration, under President Tyler, keeps its opponents in office to oppose and harrass its influential friends, cr for some other purpose, and has conferred important stations upon r..any tricksters, and double dealers, who w f-r never effi.-'n? or no-mlar, in advo-

The preceding remarks are elicited by an editorial in our neighbour's last week's Sun: and were it not deemed useless, we should advert to the remark ujmmi "the barbecues, the processions, the speeches, the songs" with the attempted sneer at "Tippecanoe and Tyler too." The imposition, and frauds of the Van Buren party which led to all these "no observer of passing events can have forgotten." Progress cf Relief. Tho newspaper hiscks of tho Van Buren party, with the notorious Amos Kendall to exasperate the shameless and dependent, are now busy in their old tricks of misrepresentation to excite distrust of the measures of anticipated and efficient reform and relief, promised by the whigs previous to the lute Presidential election; wh'lo the leaders of that desperate faction in Con:ires, are opposing every salutary proposition calculated to promote the public good, and leave no pretext untried or unstirred, to excite apprehension and prolong the many evils they sanctioned and sustained when in piwer. Under the caption placed at the head of this article, they talk cf a small duty upon tea and coffee, occasioned by their own schemes as the Journals prove, with a view no doubt to sing "no relief" humbegs into the ears of their adherents. The tea and coffee drinkers, the unreflecting men whose voice was always raised in behalf of the spoilsmen and the policy that brought the country into its present hmentable condition, now harp upon "no relief" "no change of times," when every man knows that no essential or important change could yet be effected or felt; and that sound laws are being enacted, and a brief time will enable wise counsels to have them faithfully executed. Tea and coffee are as high in price to the consumer without duty. The country at this time is in the condition of a sick man that has employed a skilful Doctor to remedy his complaint, who, after examining the patient, is engaged in applying the proper cure. Indue lime, when the external and internal applications operate, the judgment of the physician can be readily tested. But the mere employment of the Doctor effects nothing but hope, 'tis his medicine, and treatment of the patient that w ill justify praise or blame when timo proves their consequences. At present, what symptoms of change meet the eye, and the ear of the observer, every w here around us? We vet see manv of the men who sustained an advocated proscription under the pretext that the President was responsible for his underlings, and that the spoils belong to the victors, are retained in very important offices: and we did see, and now hear officially, that Van Bureuseizedupon the throat of tho Treasury and emptied it, and run the nation through his imps in Congress, unto a debt ascertained to be about twenty millions, extorting gifts and rewards for his followers, and after employing all his power, and the people's money to prostrate such of us as had courage to expose his misconduct and the corruption it engendered, can a wise people ever believe in or be again imposed upon by their adhering dupes? Surely not. What would be said of the virtue and intelligence of our fellow-citizens, the value of a free pressor the use of elections, if such established vice can ever again ride triumphantly over them all, even though honest whigs may with the best intentions differ, or for a time, fail to do all that was hoped for of them? Theseconsiderations give scope to more thought than we can now devote to them, our main object was to expose the reiterated imposition going the rounds of the spoils pat ty papers in regard to the late revenue law embracing the luxuries- tea and coffee. Our thorough going neigh

bour has given it to regale his readers.And first, it may be proper here to state, that ail the relief measures promised by the 'Whigs will be adopted, and tho prosperity w e were robbed of by sinister ex

periments will again be restored. A cor-i respondent of the Richmond Whig in explaining the Revenue Bill which recently passed, exposes the trick of the Loco's in. relation to the necessary luxuries men-1 tioncd, and says: "There is one feature in which the bill was pnrtici.larly objectionable to most of the Whig, viz: the tax on tea and coiTee. . The Whig mem bers held a caucus on this subject at which a large majority cletermineil that tea am cofiVe should be exempt from taxation. Accordingly when the bill was under consideration in the committee of the whole, Mr. Lawrence, of Pennsylvania, a promtiiCiit V hi yr member, moved to amend the bill by adding tea and coffee to the list of free articles. Before the question could be taken on this proposition, Mr. Clifford of Maine, a leading Loco Foco and a ready parliamentary tactitian, (having been speaker of one branch of the legislature of Maine) immediately moved to amend the amendment of Mr, Lawrence by adding to tea and coffee, sugar, molasses and salt.'' The whole Loco Foco party then un ted with Mr. C. in conjunction with such of the ultra anti-tariff Whigs as wished tea and coffee to be taxed, curried the amendment. The Whigs were thus placed in a very awkward prediGan ent, from which they, in vain, endeavored to extricate themselves. Winthrop of lioston, called fur a division of the question on the amendmcr t as amended so as to present the question separately, but the chair ery promptly decided that the vote of tho committee having joined them together, the chair could not put them asunder. The Whig party were thus compelled either to vote for the entire proposition or to vote the whole down. Under these circumstances they cou'.d not hesitate to reject it entirely. And thus it tomes to pass that by a dexterous manoeuvre of the Locos, tea and coffee are to be taxed! And yet with these fads staring them in the face, I should not le surprised if the Locos had the hardihood to attempt to raie an outcry against the Whigs for taxing articles which entered into the conump,i"n of the poor! I hope you will keep these facts prominently before the public, and lot the people pee the measures which aie to be resoited to, to make political capital. Hen. Gcorjjo II. Proflitt. We perceive by lhe last Washington City papers, that Mr. Profiitt ha joined Messrs. Wise and Gilmer, and has been denouncing the Wlrg parly in unmeasured terms of abuse. Well so far from entertaining any bitterness of feeling toward Mr. P. for his course, Wo are much obliged to hi in . The question has been a-kod us a thousand times, since Gen. Ilarrisons's election, 'What are you going to do with Mr. Proflit?' Well, w hat are you giing to do with Profiitt now? For ourselves we never could answer this question. It puzzled us amazingly. We never could tell what i.'i the D 1 to do with hirn. He has tulent for nothing but abuse lo open upon a trail after the game has been started. And as, we said before, we are much obliged to him, for relieving us from this dilemma bv deserting to the enmies camp. lie nas none our dirty worK, and now they can use him in the same capneity. We would, however, say to Messrs. W ise, Gilmer, and Proffilt, that they are much mistaken in the character of the Whig party, if they flatter themselves that they can break it up. The Whigs go for measures, not men. If we are to oppose the Government again, we are ready for it. We are ready to give our banner to the bretze, with its ample folds inscribed in bold characters, United States IJank, and dwn with the Veto Power. Counterfeiters Arrested. On Wednesday afternoon last two men named Johnson, (brothers) were brought to this place, on their way, one to Evansville and the other to Boonville, la. They were pursued as far as Tene Haute, and there laken. Upwards of five thousand dollars were found about their persons, in counterfeit money. Their trunks, which were said to be very heavy, were left at Terre Haute, to be examined on Wednesday last. We doubl not but that they are filled with this spurious trash and base coin. A desctiption of the notes is as follows: 8100, Letter P, payable at the Branch of the Northern Bank of Kentucky, at Louisville, to W. Nesbelt, dated April 4ih, 1839. M. T. Scott Cashier. The letter T, in the name of the Cashier looks like an L. Jno. Tilford, President. The letter o, is omitted on the bill before us, and we believe the genuine bills of the denomination of one hundred dollars, have a dot above the letters Jn. The letter d, after the words ONE HUNDRED, is larger, and not on an exact line with the continuous letters, ollars. The general appearance of the bill is good, excepting the parer which is thin; the the smoke from the Locomotive is much darker than in the genuine bills of that or any other denomination. Engravers' names on the left end of the note, Castlear, Durand, Burton &. Edwards, N. York. The name of W. Nesbet, as well as the balance of the filling up, except the name of the President is written with very feint ink.

Editor: Aa much complaint has been made in this county as well as many others, or 1 might truly say, in every county in the State of Indiana, of the course adopted by the last Legislature, for the purpose of valuing "the property of this State" and likewise for collecting the revenue, I take the liberty of offering a few remarks for the purpose of showing thaf it is to the adoption of tho Ohio system that the loco party are indebted for their ascendancy in the political aspect of our next Legislature. It is in political strife, during a contest of much bitter excitement, as it often is after a hard fought battle in time of war, the victorious party become so elated, so puffed up with a conceit of their mightiness, thut thy directlv set their wits to work to imitate some enormous and illustrious state w hich has preceded them in wisdom rind power. This would be laudable indeed, did we nut know that a feeling of selfishness and vanity prompted them in their ambitious career. We would be acting just as wisely to award the mede of praise to the frog in the fable, who attempted to swell himself to the size of an ox, as to attribute excellencies of character, and purity of motives to those men who would unwisely impose additional taxes by increasing the number of offices in a state, when the people were at the time suffering under a loan of taxation greater than they could bear. Why, sir, I believe we have as much need of two Governor's of opposite opinions as we have of the two officers of Assessor and Appraiser.each drawing the same salary, and doing the same business, and the business of one interfering with the business of the other; and next, I will enquire what do the people want with an Auditor, who with certain fees prescribed by law, can be allowed, by a provision in the 5'2d Sec. an indefinite amount at tho pleasure of the appraiser and assessor? Did 3011 1 ask, when yon elected the members from this county tell them you wished them to make a law by which any of the county officers could fix the amount of the salaries of the others? I know you did not. Well. it o:j gave them no such instruction. who did? Who gave the members of the last Legislature the anti-republican privileges of delegating the power which you gave them? 1 think I can give the wherefore, and the why will be obvious. The members from the strongest part of the state, whose counties embrace a richer portion, if not richer, of more value, from the local position, knowing their lands under anv system of taxation would be rated higher than those in the southern part of the State, wanted a "state board of equalization" to hear all "grievances" and adjust, and disentangle all knotty subjects relating to their own, and the pockets of their dear constituent-. Well, if there should be any difficulty in getting into the meaning of the word "equalization" a referit ence to the dictionary will prove that the duty of this "State board" is to make the taxes in our county, "like another, even uniform." To be sure some will sav, Webster nor Walker are not acknowledged by us as exponents of our laws, but I have high, very high authority for saying, that vou are entirely mistaken. The tallest, ae the most learned member of the last legislature proclaimed it from the Gtui'ip, that a horse, and even a hired man, would be exempted from execution, under the present execution law, and proved it from WALKER'S Dictionary too; said he, look at the definition of implements of husbandr3, an implement is defined to be "a tool," or any thing with which a farmer's work is done. Then look at tool, and 3011 will find that "a tool" is a "hireling," and I have no doubt that the gentleman could prove a man was a horse, or ahorse a man. Oh! what wise legislators, the last of the tribunes. Shall we ever see their like again? I hope not, and I now suggest that the citizens of Knox county in the different townships (hold a meeting at as earlv a period as will be convenient for them to do so. to devise some means of undoing what has becn'done by the last Legislature with the revenue S3stem of the state.

Fire, Explosion of Gvn powder, and dreadful loss of Life. Our village was visited last night with one of the most dreadful scenes which the annals of our state can reveal. About half past nine o'clock the alarm of fire was given, which proved to be in the carpenter's shop of E. T. llayden or C. Goings, on the Oswego Canal. Our citizens repaired to the spot, together with our three fire engine companies. In the course of half an hour an explosion of gunpowder took place w hich most melancholy to relate sent instantaneously some THIRTY of our fellow citizens into another world! We have no time to describe the horrible scene immediately after the explosion. The building while it was on tire was blown to atoms, and the buildings east and west were shattered by the concussion and flying limbers. About 30 firemen and others near the fire were instantly killed, being thrown in all directions into the canal, 4 or 5 entirely across the canal and among them some of our most respectable citizens, and we are sorry to add, including about a dozen of our mo?t promisingyoung men. The groans of the dying, the frantic screams of wives and children, brothers and sistets, who had lost their dearest earthly friends the kil led and wounded carried from the scene to their homes altogether presented a sight to melt the strongest heart. Our whole village is in mourning and distress! 'The stores this morning still remain closed. Such scenes as we have witnesssd within the last 12 hours, in ay Heaven forbid our ever seeing again. ' The following list of killed and wounded is as near correct as we are able to form it, amidst the confusion. Probably onefourth or one-third of these w ill yet die. We omit the list. There were 33 killed, and 3 ? wounded. We understand lint windows wete broken by the explosion as far ns Salina. The noise was very plainly heard at Dc Witt, four miles east. The number of kegs of powder, which exploded, were 3bout fifteen. When we are brought to the reflection that all this distress has been brought upon us, by the hand of nn incendinnj. a devil in human shape we are disgusted and sick at heart, fer poor human nature.

Tho following communication is from too respectable a source to q icstion il3 verity; we therefore give place to it. We will add that we have evidence of the fact that the substance mentioned in the communication, did fall from the heavens in a shower, that no man in his senses can doubt. Although none save the negrocs, saw it fall, yet the manner in which it was found spattered upon the tobacco leaves, could leave no doubt upon the mind of any one who saw it, that it had fallen. We have seen and examined the substance what it is we do not pretend to conjecture, but it looks like putrid flesh ot a bloody glutinous matter concreted, and smells very nauseous. It is indeed a miraculous occurrence, but not stranger than true. Scores of men of unimpeachable veracity, will testify to the fact of the substance being found as described in the following communication, and none who have seen the place, and learned the circumstances, pretend to question its having fallen from the heaven. Shower of Blood. Mr Editor: It is with some degree of diffidence 1 submit to the task of making the following communication to the public through your paper; being well aware that from the novelty and strangeness of the occurrence which I shall relate, I shall subject myself to the incredulity of the public. But as the facts e3n be attest-, d by a number of witnesses of the first respectability, I feel indemniheJ in making the statement. The facts arc as follows: On Saturday last, a young man brought to my office a small piece of tobacco leaf, with an apparent drop of coagulated blood upon it, and requested an analysis of it stating, that the substance upon the leaf had fallen from a cloud in lhe heavens. This excited my curiosity, and led me to make particular inquiry, relative to this strange phenomenon. I ascertained that Mr. J. M. Peyton, was in the neighborhood at the time this strange shower fell which led me to enquire of him. Mr. P's. statement was that he was at the house of Mr. E. M. Chandler, living on Spring Creek, about five miles from Lebanon, on Friday last that about 1 or 2 o'clok P. M. two of Mr. Chand-

Whereupon, Mr. Chandler, accompanied byMr. Peyton and Mr. D. S. Dew, rtturied with the negroes, and found, prrcuously scattered over a portion cA. .h field drops f blood adhering to the tobac co leaves. This statement of Mr. Peyton's he being a gcnilem-in of strict racjy induced me to go in person, U the spot, and examine fcr myself. Accordingly on Sunday last, I went to the house of .Mr. Chandler who, in compa ny with Messers T. K. and John Jacksoc pruceded with me to the tobacco grounu. Mr. Chandler stated in eubatanca the same that Mr. Peyton had stated: thst his negroes were at work in the tabarco, and about half after 11, or 12 o'clok, a rattling noise like rain 01 hail was hear,! by them, falling around, which ihey suofonnd to be drops of blood falling. On looking up, the negroes state, they saw small red cloud, passing swiftly from east to west, immediately over their heruj and which, soon after passing over thrm, disappean d entirely. Mr. Chandler and Mr. Peyton visit the place about 3 o'clock the same evenii, and found, as they thought, drops of bloi and smr.ll portions of llesh. M. I states that he found a piece which he thr, to be about half Heidi and half fat, u;i inch and a hall or two inches long, h!1 i f which produced a very offensive smell, extending all over the field. My vUit was not until Sunday evening, about 50 hours from the time lh matter fell; at that time there was no odor perceptible, except when the particles were liroutrht very neir the smell was thin very ofTunsive. I examined the drops on the tobacco If aves, and satisfied myseif that they had falie-n perpendicularly en the leaves. I next examined for the extent of lhe shower, and ascertained it to have been from forty to sixty yards in width, and six or eight hundred yard? in lei.gth. A forest on the east, and a field of weon the west, prevented our tracking k , yotid the green tobacco. It was thinly scattered probably a drop for every ten or fifteen lVet although irregulatly dispensed. I gathered from the h aves some particles, which appeared to have been clear blood, uncombined with any thing else; others seemed lobe finely pulverised muscle and blood mixed, and others composed of muscular fibre arid adipose tnterspt rset'; one portion of which 1 loutnl an oil v exudation issuii n from, oi--d !.y he-M of the sun.

"Then I will publish 10 the world your cowardice said the challenger. 'lf you do," replied Scott, "you will publish yourself as an infamous liar because nobody will believe you."

We learn that rather a serious affray took place a few days since, in the neighborhood of Brownsville.

The negroes were found at work in the field of an Abolitionist; and, on attempting to arrest them, ene of the Abolitionists who interfered had his throat nearly cut, and one of the negroes, whilst escaping, was wounded by a pistol shot. Through the assistance' of the Abolitionists, however, both the negroes made good their escape.
