For governor, TO i L1EVTEN ANT COVF.RVB, II. 13KAI)LE-:Y. Oeneral Jackson was in favor of a "j lf'tcur.is tariff," of a tariff for revenue, shaped with a view to tho protection of our own manufactures; and especially, to the protection of such manufactures a? were essential to the defence of the country and to the prosperity and comfort of the people. Fi r many years such was the tariff doctrine of the old Jackson Democracy. Mr. Whitcomb the Loco candi date for 'uverr.cr of Indiana, we believe. never belonged to the old Jackson party. Wo think he was converted after the election of (Jerd. Jackson to the Presiden cy. And this accounts for the fact that ho is not a -judicious tarff' man. A hrgc? majority cf the people of Monroe county were oi l Jackso.i men and were 'judi cious tar; 11 men. i hey generally set with tho loco focos, but they think for themselves, and a largo portion cf them are ta:i:l men judicious taritT men. In good old t:mes, when these men were good Jackson Democrats, Mr. Whitcomb was a good Naiionai Republican. Then, they were in favor of a judicious tariff, and ha w ji in favor of the American Sv tern. Si. ice that day, M. Witlteomb has been converted, a n 1 he has lived at Washington City, and ho has studied hnrd a'l tho mysteries of Loco foeoism; and he has not or ly K arncd to s' o clearly a 1 his c.vn f rmcr error, but also the error? of tho honest oil Jackson men. Since Mr. WL;:eem' has been nominated as the, I co candidate fir Governor, he has spent a few days in a visit to his old friend; at Cloym'ngton; and as he is too prudent to ornit an opportunity of advancing hi own interest?, ho has availed himself of t!os visit to attempt t ) enlighten the pe 0 Ol ..MOUro 3 G'. Ul'2 Subject I the tariff. He has been delivering tarilT lecture?; r n I as it would not do to oppose the interest? of the manufacturers ho prcfesstd a great regard iVr the manufacturer?, and placed his opposition to a land" on the ground that even a tariff for revenue was ir j'.iri -us to them. And so MrWhitcomb contriteg amongst the friendsof Domestic manufactures to act in accordance with his universal rule of action "Eery thing to every body" by putting his nop. -sition to a taritT on the ground ih; t a.- tariff is injurious to the manufacturer. This position, we understand, Mr. Whitcomb did undertake to demonstrate scientifically, teal is to say, precise')' as he would draw a special plea or argue a special demurrer. Now, it is true, thai a mere taritT for revenue changing each vcar wuh the wants of the treasury wou'd produce such a state of tincertaintty r.s would injure the manufacturers. Th3 minufiiclurcrs want such a tariff' as will pretect them against the pauper laborers if Europe, and they want this permanently. Hut Mr. Whitcomb argued that because a tariff for revenue only uvght injure the manufacturers, a tariff for protection would irjuro them and the country mere. And then we have another example of the excessive impu dence cf Lvofoco humbugger?, and of their opinion cf the unlimited gullibility of the people. Strange as it may seem, we are informed, thai at tho very time Mr. Whitcomb was delivering his lecture whest was se'lir.cr at Bloomlngton for .weuUy five cent per bushel, rnd Ubrfrs
hiring at seven dollars pet month, in trade. And this, entirely in consequence of the triumph?, mental and physical, of those wondrous locofoco doctrines, herd money low prices and free trade.
Tho Congressional Election. Wo have conversed with several gent'emen from the White River counties in this district. It would seem that the loco focos are much divided about their candii dale, it seems Uoctor Davis. Dr. Dooson, lawyer Deming, lawyer Gorman, and Judge Law, are all spoken of, and that Davis. Dobson and Law, each have many " I T 11 ..I.. I 1 democrat some hard fisted farmer or 'mechanic, fresh from the plough or the fdiop. We did not think that they would chose their candidate from the pro fessional men and political hacks of the patty. And by the way, it seems strange that tho dcmrcracy have forgotten John Ewini? so soon. They seem to have pped him like a hot potatoe. Ferhaps he would answer their purpose. Think about it, neighbor Stout. It seems to be agreed amongst the w higs, that situated as this district is, it would he wrong for them to sacrifice a good man by making him a candidate, and as wrong for them to make any exei lion for a mean one that therefore they will not have any candidate, but wil chose amongst tho loco?, and take the lesser evil. They will support that man amongst tho locos, whether the regular nominee or not, that they may judge bes qualified by worth, knowledge, and talent, to serve tho people. We understand that in Green and Owen the whigs would prefer Dr. Dobson and in Sullivan, Knox, Daiess and Monroe, Judge Law. -e ? A National Whig Convention for the nomination of candidates for Presidency and Vice Presidency takes placo in Baltimore on Wednesday, the 3d of May, IS 1 . Congress adjourns this day. We suppose Captain Tyler will immediately, after the close of the sess'on, mako his nominations. Those who have tendered their fealty to mo President may eipect something in the shape cf an office, and as whigs and Democrat do not expect appointments from such a treacherous source, tho chances are -entirely in favor of Tyletites tho -latter fceuld however remember that nominations are net confirmations. We are requested to say that during the? evening rf tho Exhibition of Miss Cbpp's Female Institute at the Presbyterian church, the gallery will be reserved exclusively for the ladies, and we trut that none will bo so indecorous as to disregard this injunction. The Kev. Mr. Hall will preach at'the Town Hall to-morrow at 3 o'clock P. M. e 9 . Mr. ml Mr?. are informed that Theodore is a very pretty name. So we think, at least. The weather during the past month has behaved very coldly to us, and even now 111 11 luutva rtiuirr vtuty ca u it iidu b Our readers are referred to an article on the fourth page, headed "Cure for the Croup. ,y It ought to bo carefully preserved by every parent, for it is an invaluable discovery. For th Yinccnnes Gazette. SOLON, No. 3. In most civilized communities, (perhaps I had as well said all.) r ches seem to be the principal object sought after, by the larger mass of the people; and the eagerness with which tfc?y pursue sr.d grasp after them is no doubt astonishing tr one whoso mind is rjghtly balanced.. To no other oljecl, does honor and honesty so often fall a sacrifice, for none oilier, is home and country left, health and strength wasted, family and domestic comforts ne glected, the nearest and dearest ties bro ken, and privations of every kmd endured; for riches, will men toil, labor, and contrive, day and night; land and sea, are used, and lime and space almost annihilated for the purpose of acquiring what he so much desires. Some have one reason. and some another, in their desperate efforts to possess riches; some for a name, but most, I believe, because they think, to be rich is to be happy." This notion I have found, in my life, to be erroneous; and if any one will examine for himself, ho will find that the possession of riches, whatever they may promise in prospect, do not bring, as an invariable attendant, true happiness. Let me, for a moment ask,. -what can riches produce to make manWiappy? They mav, it is true, supply all our animal desires, provide for usallthe necessaries and even the luxuries cf life; surround ns with all the eorcrcius p!endor. the wild est taste cm desire, but there their power ,ends; they cannot evert v'd; heal dtteasc:
easo a troubled mind; relievo sorrow, or soothe tho pg' of guilty conscience.
Dut on the contrary, do they not often lead to ciime, shorten life, and overwhelm with care and mental anxiety! Hiches in themselves, cannot make the mind of man happy. Thousand have possessed them, and were among the most miserable of mankind while living, ami! died wretched. A contented disposition is worth untold gold; and he who possesses it, is tho one who is truly happy. But the male part of community are not alone in their desire (r riches; the female part partake of tho spirit in a greater or less degree. There ate far more excep tions among them m this matter, than in those of the male sex, however, yet still. we find that a suitor with broad lands, and a good rent roll, has more chanco with a certain portion, than the unendowed with rich heritages, be the wealth of Ins mmd what it may. Appearances, too, go a great way with them; a fine form and figure, a gentlemanly address, and polished manners often please, w here wealth with out them, somi times fans. Some look at the treasure that is hid within, which gold cannot gild, nor can bo assumed at pleas ure. These seek the true riches, that last, w hile the spark that vivifies the clay tenement, shall dwell in its earthly abode. Let trouble come, cr orrows fall hemi upon him, he rises above them all, and in the rich resources of mind, find a solace beyond the power of mere worldly wealth to bestow. These reflections ran through my mind, as I was turning over tho leaves of an old port folio, to look up something, tho relation of which, might interest those, who take the trouble to read the numbers of Solon; and through which we might converge together for a few moments. While pausing a moment to look at this, anon at that, yet rejecting each for some cause, to myself unknown, so wayward oft is fancy, my eye wat caught with rt fjw minute.T made upon an incident that occurred many years ago, to which I was privy: and that, at tho tim?. earned considerable stir amomr the inhabitants of the town in which it took place. Its bearing, too, agreed with the foregoing reflections, in some measure, and therefore I selected it, as one befitting the tone of my mind. Some of my resders may, perhaps, think the connection between my remaiks and the following sketch, rather loose-, but let mo eay to such, "look and see." Tot may bo seeking riches in one .wqj,. while those of my dramatis persona were seeking it in another. The principal personage w as scking for that nobler riches of mind, which is s treasure indeed; while some of the minor actors in the little drama were seeking for other, in another way. It was upon a delightful afternoon, in the balmy month of May, that myself, in company with two oitiets of the corps to which I attached, approached thi' outskirts of k lovely village, situated afew miles in the interior of one of our Atlantic s'ate?, where I was expected to be detsit:od for fcveral weeks, if not months. An emiV.ence, just before entering the village, gave its frcm its brow, an enchnntin vicn- of the cnr.ntry for mi'es around, "llow beautiful!" burst involuntarily from each one of us as we paused to view a scene, seldom equalled, never surpassed, even in out land, so rich in gorgeous eceti!ry. and splendid works of nature. Hut I will not stop to describe it, for whoever has once been in Penn's Grove will never forget it; let it suffice that, a lovelier spot for a residence free from the noise end bustle of a great city, is not to be found. Its very appearance strikes the beholder, as a place where peace anil contentment have taken up their abode; and where industry and frugally are In use-hold gods, with neatness and order; and a residence, which finally proved to be for months, confirmed tho truth of my first impressions. For some days I was confined to my room from the fatigue of a long journey, and did not appear at the family table of ihe hotel; bul one morning after I had seated my:elf, what was my surprise to see an old friend enter the room, whom 1 had known many miles from there, and whose business in that place I could not possibly imagine. Our recognition was mutual, but before 1 could speak, he raised his finger, unobserved by ihe oth0"Sf to be 6ilent. It was then I observed that his dress was plainer ihan that I had been accustomed to see him wear; and that altosether there seemed to be some mystery in ihe matter. I obeyed mu'e request lor suence, out ueiermma as soon as the meal was ended, to seek for an explanation; and while all are busy around tho well furnished board, I will give the reader an introduction to him. His dress was plain, cut after the fashion of the day, yet without running into its extremes, and of such a texture, as is ordinarily worn by country gentlemen.His ago appeared to be about thirty, yet he mijht have been a year or two older. His person was not tall, nor commanding, but of middling size, of a ell-raade figure and easy carriage; his faco was of an oval cast, well chisseled; his foreheneL high; and his eye of a deep intense blue, and altogether formed a countenance indicative of intellect. We sat long at the table, as if by mutual consent; and were therefore at last alone; and as the last straggler left the breakfast room, he said with a smile, "l see you aro surprised to see me here follow me to my room and I will explain. I expected you for sorqe days, as I saw by the papers, you were to pass a few days here, and I feared I could not manage so well as I have, our ftrst meeting. But come along, -and we will arrange also for the time to come." - I followed him to his room, but it will suffice, that tha progress of this sketchy
unfold the object of his reniJence in Penn't CJrove, only thus much: He said his as
sumed name was Charles Lowe and that he had been there about three months, and that his stay was indefinite. "You know, dear Colonel," s lid he, in conclusion, "the kind of female society there was in the city last winter good enough it is true, but there was so much heartlessness in it, that I became disgusted, and formed in mymind, w hatyou, tn your sobriety, would call, a boyish resolution, which was, to seek for a women of intelligence and virr tue who, unacquainted with my standing in life, would be willing to wed me for myself. I knew of this beautiful village, having passed through it several years ago, and I determined to come thither, as, if I were disappointed in my search, it would ba a delightful place to spend the summer months." I laughed at him, Ct his waywardness, and so we separated until dinner. I found; upon inquiry afterwards, that he was, and bad been, the talk of the village quidnuncs ever since his arrival. He had appeared without any definite onject was a per feet stranger and his manners spoke him more than he seemeu ne was to them a mystery. But this soon wore olT, and by his affability, pleasing manner, and gentlemanly bearing, had won his way into the good graces of most of the families of the village. In the private circle his powers cf conversation which arose from a depth of knowledge seldom surpassed, made him ever a welcome visiter to the elders of the family; and the following conversation, will also shew how he sped with the female portion thereof. Put I will furnish that, and the sequel for my next number. UNIVEHSALISIYI AS IT IS. Subjoined, we give a few extracts from a volume recently published, entitled u Universal ism Examined, Renounced, Exposed." by Matthew Hale Smith, which clearly shows the dreadful m?ral tendency of that doctrine. Wre publish it for general information and the general good, and trust its tendency will be salutary. "At the very outset, I was mortified at the result of my ministry, and pained wall w hat I saw in tho3e who were the loudest in their professions of regard for 'the doctrine,' as uni versaiism was usually called. I saw none of that reform which I expected would attend my preaching no moral reformation, tho' none needed it more than my personal friend?, no change for the better, 'hough I saw many changes for the worse. Indeed, the practical tendencies of my preaching were not w hat I expected to see. They were not what I saw attending the preaching of the gospel in the vicinity in which I labored. I w as praised in the bar-rooms and my health drank in almost every tavern in the county. On the Sabbath, my song relation came direct from the tavern to my meeiinjf, and went as directly back to the tavern alter tho meeting. 1 ho intermission was usually passed in discinsing the merits of tho sermon, not always in the most decorous terms, and in drinking my health, with their best wishes for my successful vindication of the salvation of all men." 'One fact' says the writer, 'that transpired among others, made me very unhappy. On Sabbeth evenings my church jvss unusually crowded with young men. Many of these would leave the bar-rooms and dram-shops in tho vicinity of my meeting-house, attend my lecture, and then reiire again, at its close, to those places of infamy, and tt'tero pass nearly the whole night. They would drink my health, and praise me and my sermons in the awful words of profaneness and blasphemy. Though I did not allow that my preaching encouraged licentiousness, I could not if I would, dhguise from myself the fact, that those young men thought that my doctrine strengthened their hands, and promised life to tho wicked, though they turned not from their w icked ways. Else, why should they pause in their career of sin, enter my congregation, and, at the close of my service, return again to their licentious ways, and praiso me according to my works, in the fearful terms to which I havo already alluded? The influence of these things upon my mind was disastrous in the extrem". I was oppressed beyond measure. I w as not satisfied with the tendency of my faith, yet I thought my system was not an error. I did not wish'to do my fellow men an injury still I kfiew that many could justly accuse me as being the author of their ruin." "I w rote and preached often under the influence of doubts, that, at times, almost overwhelmed me, I once resolved to settle the case with my own mind, and put it at rest. I wrote a sermon in which 1 arrayed all that I could think of in defence of Universalism. The arguments from reason, nature, and the Bible, in favor of the salvation of all men, I presented in their strongest form. I wrote it under the influence of the most tormentingdoubts, to remove thoso doubts if possible. But the effort was not successful. I preached this sermon but once. My people requested it for the press. I gave it to the lames. "Mv situation was a most trying and painfui one. I was determined to cling to Universalism. Yet I could not with all my heart defend it, nor remove the rvhiptirn9 that rose against it. When I sought relief by conversing with my ministerial associates, I found them often deeper in difficulty than I was myself. As they would relate their experience, and unfold what they had seen of tre moral results cf Universalism. the effe'ct was most startling upon ny own rnind. Ai I heard mn who ha! boen
years in the ministry, urge objections to it more appalling than any I had ever heard from the lipa of any opposer, and expose ihe sophistry of many popular arguments used in its deft-nee, I w as convinced, if the woild knew tho objections with which the defenders of Universalism had to contend, no stronger proof of its falsehood would be needed." "The advocates of Universalism have given to the winds, as idle talk, the learning and research of centuries. As I have already shown, they deny th3 learning, the disernment or tue honesty of all good men, who for eighteen hundred years have tnriched biblical science, and left monumentB of their piety, zeal, and learning, to us their children. And not only so, but to defend Universalism, it must be asserted that tbe fathers of the church deserve censure rather than praise, as having dont griat injury in the department of biblical criticism. Their w ritings, based upon eterfeai rewards and punishments, sre monuments of folly, they having overlooked the obvious meaning of the Bible if Universalism be true.
r - "On this subject, Mr. II. Bailou, 2d, 'who is good authority, says, 'Whatever the amount of good material in our denommation, it is still a tact, which no well-infoimed member will denv, and which should be held up before iw in the plainest terms, that with respect to general culture, we are behind most of the other sects. We confess that, ourselves, we do not believe that Universalism is thus to be identified with ignorance.' Expositor, March 1839, p. 100. "In the Hudson River Associates of Universalists, a few years since, an attempt was made to establish a rule, requiring of candidates for ordination, the study of grammar, logic, and rhetoric, for the space of six months, under some Universalist preacher; no theological study bein demanded. The introduction of the resolution produced a commotion that, for a time, threatened the existence of the Association. It was declared to be "absolutely useless" to possess such qualifications. It was said to be 'onaof the abominations of partialism.' Some of the ablest minirters threatened to "leave the order" if the resolution were not withdrawn. But the excitement went beyond the bounds of the Association, and tho periodicals expressed their indignation at the rule proposed. The editor of one of the most widely circulated Universalis! papers says, in respect to grammar," We do consider this an absurd requisition for the candidate for the ministry, particularly when many of our ablest preachers could not even now pass the required examina tion. (Mag. arid Adv. iii. p. 34"2.) Mr. Andrews says, "Many of our most popular and useful preachers have no pre tensions ol that sort, and are in fact, una ble to write a sermon correctly, that is without gross violation of the most common principles of Rhetoric and English grammar, " (Gospel Anchor, ii. p. 141.) "suppose an ignorant, unlettered man should arise in some obsrure town in this country, and call in question the univer sally received opinions of the great principles of the Constitution of the United States: scofT at and reject the expositions of the most able and accomplished states men who have expounded that instrument, talk of the improvement, of the increase of light, of the progress of society, as an apology for increasing his opinions, and avow doctrines upon government not only at war with all that the constitution was supposed to tesch, but such as were never before advanced, would his notions be regarded for one moment? No! A serious consideration of them would not be entertained an instant by an inteligentmind. "Yet such is the attitude of Universal ism. Its originator and defenders have a poor claim to scholarship, whilst its 'ablest' prescbers, and those the "most useful," "cannot pass an examination in English grammar." These aro men who wish to be credited when all the world is against them. These are they wl.o ask you to leavo tho way cf holiness as the path of salvation, anil to lean upon them an 1 their teaching, while they announce to the wicked, as wa3 dono of old, "Yo shall not surely die." This consideration makes the defence of Universalism a difficult task." Extraordinary and Disastrous Occurrence We wero handed, yesterday, the following letter from Cincinnati. We saw the captain of a steamboat, who stated to us some further particulars. He said it was. supposed thi about forty or fifty persons were killed and wounded by the explosion, chiefly firemen. A gentleman who arrived here yesterday, having come for the purpose of taking our eminent sergeon, Dr. Gross, to the scene of distress, makes the same estimate of the number killed and wounded. He says that eight or nine wero already reported as dead on Saturday evening: Lou. Jour. Cincinnati, Feb. 25, 1813. De vp. Sirs: I have only time to say lhat this city has been visited with a mosl awful calamity. This afternoon about 1 o'clock, the smoke-house of Pug cc Alvard caught fire, and the Smoke was so intense as to fill the pork-house adjoining, and. there being no way for its escape, it exploded like gunpowder, and the renoit was like that of an earthquake. The loss of property is not very great, but the loss of of hie is. Already the following persons navo been found, and are dead. II. S. Edmonds, Joseph Bensa'l, Caleb Taylor, and several others, who aro so much mangled as not to be known, besides there are a great many with broken arms and legs. Yours truly, 9 GEO. H. II ART WELL. Since the preceding was in type, we have received ihe Cincinnati Republican
extra of yesterday morning. We havei room but for a part of it. After speaking of the issue of a dense cloud of black smoke from the smoke-house, the Repubican says: Meantime all the other parts cf tho establishment had become filled with the smoke of the burning meat, and the same dense cloud was beginning to gush from the roof of the main building as from tht of the smoke-house. At the moment the Hash of flame issued from the latter, it ignited the gas generated by the combustion of ihe mear, and the whole blew up in an instant the brick walls falling upon the firemen and others who were engaged near the premises. We have not been able- to learn with accuracy the loss of life, nor do we think it certain lhat all the bodies have vet been recovered. The following persons are known to have been killed. Caleb W. Taylor, merchant, of tht firm of Woodnut, Taylor A; Co. Mr. H. S. Edmunds, pork merchant. Jos. Bonsai!, president While water Canal Company. J. Chamberlain, and three German, names not known. The follow ing persons were badly injur
ed, some of whom ere not expected to recover: Thos G. ShaefTer, printer, connected with the Enquirer office. II. Thorp, inspector of pork. J. Blakeman. Geo. Shillitio, of the firm of Worihington, Shillitto fc Co. B. B. Finch, carpenter, and foreraan ol Fame Engine Company. II. Alvord, firm of Pugh & Alvord. II. O. Merrill, baker. Rice, member of Rover Hoso Company, and many others, whose nime we did not learn. The scene of destruction presents a horrid spectacle. The search will be prosecuted to day. Mesmerism Iti effects. Mesmerism lias recently undertaken a new business in New Hampshire. Witchhazle and the divining rods having failed to find out the locality of "Kid's money," "Animal Magnetism has been called in, and at our "last accounts" was doing a pretty business at Poplin, somewhere in the Granite state. We do not ourselves exactly know where Poplin is but, wherever it may be. the money-diggers thereof are a shrewd people and have hit upon an improved method of diembowelling or at any rate of endeavoring to disembowel the buried treasures of that region. It seems that an old woman living in lhat neighborhood dreamed lhat there wa h great deal of gold and silver buried in some part of Poplin an 1 of course every sart of contrivance was resorted to fir finding it; but without any sort of success. At length, however, Mesmerbrr. Neurology, vr by whatever name the new 'science' is denominated, was thought of, and immediately resorted to. A lady possessing the thrive excellent faculty of ' cairvpiance bei'ir magnetised secundern artem, pointed out the very locus inquo.

They had already excavated a great w ay into the soft bottom of the quagmire without finding any thing but peat, and were b.ding out the water from tho hole with the most exemplary perseverance. They had at one timo struck something hard with crowbar, but w hether it was an enormous box of gold bars or a hnrMende boulder from ona of the adjacent hills, it is quite impossible to say. All we ccm toy about the whole business may by comprised in few words; we wish all the Mesmeric Neurologic and Magnetic gentlemen, as well es tho members of the general humbug family, had to dig for the remainder of their lives into just such a bog meadow. It would be a natural and sppropriale employment. A". 1'. Con. and Enq. A Lady of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has made a proposition to the ladie throughout the State, through the columns of the Lancaster Examiner, thatlheyturn their whole stock of jewelery into coin, buy up the State stock, and mako a present of it to tho State. Sie estimates the value of the trinkets in the possession of the ladies of Pennsylvania at Eighteen and a half millions of Dollars just enough, by buying the Stock at fifty per cent, discount, to pay off the whole State debt. "Our lords." she wisely observes, "will never pay the debt in the world and it certainly will bo no very great hardship for us to dispense with our jewelery for short time. And when we pay off this great debt for them, our chivalrous beaux will bo both willing and able to buy uj a new supply." Kanawha. Eepublicayu Getting Ready.
