The appointment of the Secretary oj the Treasury to be vested in Congress. Tlie just restriction of the power of dismissal from office noio exercised by the President. The introduction of economy in the Administration of the Government; and the discontinuance of all sinecures, and useless offices." For President in 1844 II E I R Y C JL A Y OF KENTUCKY. FOR GOVERNOR, S.VHUEL. HIGHER. FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, JOIIX II. BRADLEY. Old man "Solon" No. 3, is received, and is thrice welcome. Next week he shall appear. Whenever two or three neighbors gather together in these days, the question is surely asked amongst them, when will times become better? when will prices improve? But one answer can be made. Times will change, prices for produce afford a reasonable profit to the farmer, and honest labor paid its reward, just so 6eon as the settled policy of the State and Nation al Governments shall redeem public faith, restore prtvate credit, and cherish domes tic industry and trade and foreign com merce. And when will that be? It can not be, so long as the ''perish credit, per ish commerce" parly have rule in the land It cannot be, so long as the country is cursed b)' a party incessant in its attacks on all the institutions of the land. It cannot be, so long as the People will bestow pow er on the Locofoco Party. It is notorious, that money was never more plenty than it now is, in the great commercial cities. In London, interest is as low as two and a half per cent. In New York, interest has fallen to five per cent. The city banks and city capitalists, notwithstanding the great losses of the past eight years, have so much money on hand, that they cannot find investments for it. Nevertheless, houses and lands are continually falling iu price. "Real estate in the city of New York, has fallen more than two thirds from the price in IS3t3. Manufactured goods are continu-

Why is it, Judge Law? Why is it Doctor

)avis? Why is it Governor Whitcomb. )o tell us. Tell the people, why when toney is so plenty, and prices so low, the ich will not buy houses nor lands the perchant will still contract, and the specuilor will not invest? Stout and Davis Jn't 4know; Law and Whitcomb know, bit dare not tell. It is because the curse 0! Locofocoism is upon us. It is because tte Locofoco party can only sustain itsel br incessant appeals to the prejudices of tie people and by incessant attacks on the establishments and institutions of the country. It is because Locofocoiim is priighty to tear down, but most puny to build up. It has all the mighty energies of the wicked in destruction, but utterly lack the knowledge, the wisdom, and above all the patriotism, the love of country the love of our native land necessary' to establish on firm foundations the prosperity of the People. Amidst all the sacrifices of state credit destruction of private fortunes, disgraces and distresses of our country, the credit of Massachusetts had stood firm. The Legislature ha3 always been whig until now. The Governor has always been whig, excepting one year that a rabid loco named Marcus Morton was elected by one vote. It has been exempt from state taxes. It has the most dense population it is the most productive and the most wealthy of the states. Its administation is now changed. The locc cofo party are in possession of the State Government. There is nothing for them to do in the way of improvement. If there was, they would not know how to do it, or would lack the will. But they have found something to destroy. They have commenced by an attack on the state Slate credit. We clip the following from the New York Express: The attack of tha new Governor of Massachutetts upon the credit of the State, is repelled with animation in feveral of the Massachusetts papers. The Boston Daily Advertiser shows with great clearness that the Governor assumes a great deal more than the truth warrants when he asserts that the credit of the State is impaired. The actual debt of the State is $ 1.207,000, the annual in terest on which is $60,000. Her property consits of $1,000,000 in productive railroad stock; 25,000 in Charles River Bridge; and several millions of acres of land in Maine. She has large claims upon the General Government, and an annual income of three hundred and twenty thounsand dollars from the banks of the State. From this and other sources of ordinary income, the State has paid during the last year, in addition to her ordinary expenses, the interest, and one hundred and twenty thousand dollars of the prin cipal of her debt; and besides this she is as able as any State in the Union to pay if necessary, any tax which may be required for meeting either the interest or the principal of the debt, If it were much larger than it is. And just so in Indiana. The Locofoco party in the late legislature have amused themselves with doing all they could to destroy our State Bank and those who deal with it. But what did they do what did they attempt to do to promote the public good? s We are sorry to be under the necessity of contradicting the report that the small pox is in Vincennes at Col. Clark's hctel, for the reason that none other than a poor miserable wretch would propagate a falsehood which would have a tendency to create so much alarm and excitement, as the report of the existence of a case of the small pox naturally would produce. It is positively false, and we are truly grieved to think that one so wanting of good feeling exists amongst us. Our friend Dowling of the Wabash Express, after writing nearly four columns of editorial matter, complains of having been sick, a few days preceding publication day, and offers that as an apology for omission, fcc. No wonder he was sick, after writing a certain column and a half about a certain old man about our town. Now do in future be more humane the old fellov will not survive many more such drubbings. The Vincennes Gazette says that six severe shocks of an earthquake were felt in that place, on Thursday night last, aboat 12 o'clock. A gentleman informed us that he felt a few of tlievi here about the same time, but as no one else corroborated the statement, we supposed he was mistaken. Wabash Express. ICpAn earthquake was felt here on Thursday night, a little after 11 o'clock. Lou. Jour. Earthqnakt.Kt half past eleven o'clock on Thursday night another earthquake was distinctly felt in this town. Shaicneetown Republican. What do you think about our earthqakes Mr. Dowling? You no doubt now begin the'belisve tve can feel an earthqnke if you cannot.
