The' met at the Town Hail in great numbers, and after listening to a glowing Whig speech from the II. n. .Mr. Phelps of Louisiana, they cies :Oitoes, &c, and marched through the principal street-, with music and singi:;g. 1 hero were, as near as we could (judge, three hundred in procession, with had marched sround, they returned to the Town Hall, where thev were aaiu ad dressed by Air. Phelps and Mr. Ewing. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed on this, as it does on all occasions with the patriotic Whigs of Indiana. Defeated in !3Jo by their own lethargy in part, and from certain influences brought to bear upon the election, they have felt the necissity of arousing in their might, with the. full conviction that "United we stand divided we fall;" and as co-workers togcllier, they march in solid phalanx to meet the foe the enemy of the 1 est interests of the countiy the enemy of Protection to the American mechanic and manufacturer the enemy to the only currency that can restore prosperity to the country, in conjunction with other great Whig measures theenetnv of a just distribution of the proceeds of the sales of t no public lands, which we ask not so much as a favor as a right due to us, while Congress holds these lands only as a trust fund, to be appropriated only for the benefit of the States of this Union in short, we arc marching, shoulder to shoulder, to do battle in the cause of our country, against an army of spoilsmen, whose flag in the South bears the inscription, " Texas or Disunion!" We have recently met them in Indiana, and with a determined zeal, we have overthrown their forces. But we look upon this as a mere brush with a detached squadron; and our success but an omen of the futu-e, when our victory can be described in the words of Caesar: "I came, I saw, I conquered." It was truly an imposing spectacle to behold such an array of mottoes, borne by a band of freemen, who dare to assert their principles, and who would b!uh not to have them written upon the clouds, that the whole world might reed them. We ire conscious that "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance," and are determined to "cry aloud, and spare not," while our liberties and the perpetuity of our free institutions are at stake. Whigs of Knox, roll on th bail and never let it stop till the last poke weed is crushed in the dust; then we may hop for prosperity and happiness to our beloved country, under vadministration of her long-tried and faithful friend, Henry Clay. 3'" "II;.! ha! -he! he! haw! haw! ho! ho! lie!

A Plain Chapter on tho TariS". Tl- following from the Savannah (Ga.) Republican, is the plainest and prettiest thir" we have seen. It is so simple end plain, that any one who will attentively re; d it, cannot fail to understand the benefits sure to flow from a protective Tariff. Let it be understood, therefore, that Henry Clay is the friend of that policy that will protect, encourage, and enrich the manufacturer, mechanic, agriculturist, and the whole PEOPLE, while James K. Polk is violently opposed to this very policy, willing rather, that every inter?s:, whereby individual enterprise is encouraged for

tue bcnetitot all, should be broken down, and every citizen of this country, con taining resources within herself to render her independent of every other nation un der heaven, should be reduced to her for tiier colonial vassalage, as existed prior to the war ct tue Revolution. The true lover of the welfare and glory of his country is in favcr of a Tariff that will protect her inleresKs, keep her money at home, make her "a competitor in every market in the vyorld, and independent of toreign nations. Such are tne whigs, and such is their policy; and while we do not condemn our opponents in the whole as otherwise, yet they ere blindly led astray by vile demagogues, who care not who sinks so they swim. 'It is estimated that it requires over one million of foreigners to manufacture the foreign articles annually consumed in the United States. JN'ow it follows that we of this country subsist or support directly or indirectly that number of subjects of the various monarchies of Europe. The money which they get for their labor goes mainly into the pockets for the foreign agricultural producers. The farmers in the U. S. cannot compete with theso foreign agriculturalists because of the cost of transportation, and the onerous nature of their corn laws. Now if this one million of for. cigrnrs were transferred to this country, or (what would be still better,) if one million of our own people were withdrawn from agriculture and em ployed in manufacturing, all the money would remain in our swn country, and a very large proportion of it would find its way into the pockets of the farmers and of others who would feed thin million of operatives. Uf course this would add just so much to our national wealth and the general prosperity of our people. Let us reduce this to figures. These operatives would each earn, at a ve ry moderate estimate, 33 1-1 cents per day or $100 per year. Their whole earnings would then be about equal to our present imports or 100,000,000 one half of which at least, would go to the agricultural producer of this country, instead of finding its way, as at the present, into the pockets of foreigners. This would greatly increase the demand for agricultural products, and if the one million of men, as before stated, were! withdrawn from agricultural labor, the amount of these products would be diminished, and there! would necessarily be a corresponding advance in! theirprice. This uaoney then, kept in our coun-j tiv, would find its way into every department of industry, benefitting the landholder, the mechanic! as well thn laborer in every branch of business. Here, then, is the whole policy of the TaritTas cot. tended f.r by the Whigs. They go for the protection and encouragement of domestic labor instead of t.ie f. urigner for the support of our own people, and those who choose to come among us in contradistinction to the paupeis of Europe. This is whig policy, and we submit it to true hearted Americans to say which party they will sustain.' German Whig's in Cincinnati. We take the following extract from the Cincinnati I.) lily Slraightout, which shews that the (Jermans, at least, of our adopted citizen?, are escaping from the subtle influence thrown sround them by the locofocos.' So it is, and so it eventually will be, whenever they are informed of the true principles of the two parties. When the emigrants to this country first land upon our shores, ihey attach themselves to tlis loeofocos by name; as the word Democrat by them is associated in their minds with the truo principles of liberty, and so it justly is. But our present race cf Democrats are so far from acting out the principles which are indeed Democratic, that as soon as the adopted citizen becomes acquainted with tho matter as it actually exists, they drop tho pretended, to seek the genuine Democracy, tvell knowing that in the principles of the Whigs they can only recognize those sentiments which are congenial with the prosperity of their adopted country. Until recently, according to the statements of tho (rcrman locofoco stump-orators, there ?;?rC 1)0', one hundred and fifty Whigs of that das. in this city. How is it now? Wc see their ruettings crowded five or six hundred names enrolled on th h;eks of the German Cloy Club, and an enthusiasm pervading them that is as v?arm and heait'elt as is evinced rty the ruoat ardent of our American friends. The fire is pprVading among them,- it will spread, until it Rt VOLUTIONIZES HAMILTON COUNTY. Kinxe's Law Compendium Index to vols. 1, '2 and 3 rr. 529 Svo. Some years ago wo announced the two first volumes of this work. Mr. Kinne has steadily carried out his original plan by question and answer, in the third volume, and now presents us with an elaborate, copious, and well digested index to the whole, in more than live hundred pages octavo. When we state that there are more than fifteen hundred titles, and that leference is made to more than twenty thousand decisions, facta and cases, and that principles arc analyzed with great clearness, our leaders may form some idea of the study and labor that have been necessary in bringing the work to its present point. Mr. Kinnc's Quarterly Law Compendium, at ono dollar per annum, is properly a continuation as new cases arise. The profession only can properly appreciate the value of such a work. In stating the principles of law, in many cases, leference is made to other old Fienohand Dutch authorities, and to the writers on the civil law, particularly under the titles of insurance and partnership. From the latter we give a few quotations: Whs: the leading principles of tlt con-u-.et of'f r'neiship Yrl. ?..

Rules established in equity for the con struction of articles Vol. 2, 312. What the effect of a clause in articles confeirin on one partner the administra tion of affairs Vol. 2, 315. Lxtended in this way, under the heads of partner and partnership, to more than three hundred cases. The work thus be comes a law dictionary, where cases and principles are referred to with the greatest iacility. To every well informed merchant, as well as to the lawyer, this work must be valuable. It may well be called a lime and lahor saving machine. Hut to our minds, this is not its great est value, and one thought has struck us forcibly, w hile writing this too brief no tice; if Dr. Watta were living, and had to write again his delightful book on the Improvement of the Mind,' and been acquainted with Mr. Kinne's works, (which he would be sure to be,) he would not fail to recommend them as capital exercise and discipline for fixing the attention. The following facts, from the United States (Philadelphia) Gazette, we commend to the candid attention of every lover of the prosperity of his own country, over that of every ether under the sun. Let the people edect Mr. Clay, and the Tariff be thus protected for a few years, and our happy and glorious Union, will exhibits scene of prosperity, unexampled in the world's history. Hut on tho contrary, should a desperate faction, in order to aid foreign capitalists, in preference to our own. succeed in electing a determined enemy of the Tariff, in James K. Polk, all this scene of prosperity will be nipped in the bud; and instead of progressing in prosperity, we will retrograde, and, in a short lime fully realize the aim of the locofoco Polko party. Important Facts. We yesterday Warned the fact that preparations have been made toured a large rolling mill on the west side of the Schuylkill, opposite to Philadelphia. provided Mr. Clat is elected President We were also informed that thb erection of a very large rolling mill and slitting works, in Ken sington, depends upon the same contingency, thn company having been already formed for that purpose, and only wait to know that Mr. Clay is to be at the head of Ihe government, to commence operations. Should he be defeated, not a dollar will go out of their pockets for any such purpose. A gentleman has also stated to us that he him self had lately bought property at Trenton. (IS .J.) upon which it was his intention to erect a factory in case Mr. Clay wai elected; but if he were not he would not expend a dollar upon it. Those facts ought to arrest the attention of evety American farmer, mechanic and laborer as showing how much of the future prosperity of the country depends upon the result of the approaching Presidential election. The following letter i too good to pass by, so we give it a place. It shows up progressive Democraoy as it is, and is one among hundreds, or the means used to manufacture political capital. We copy from the Clinton (Ohio) Republican of the 7th inst. Mr. Linpset Sir I perceive in the Democratic Star of tho lGth inst., that one S. C. D. Lemar has renounced whiggery, and I am told that I am tho man, notwithstanding it is not my name. I have no such initials. I have only to say that I am a Whig, and ever have been. I have not turned don't feel like turning nefer thought of turning I am not of the turning family, I hac an abhorrence to turning, that will ever keep me out of the democratic party, where it is necessary to turn every new campaign. Suppose I were a citizen of Pennsylvania and were to turn loco, of course I would be against annexation and for protection. Let me move to Ohio, I must turn for Texas, and against protection. I will suppose myself a Jackson democrat. Well, in his dictionary wo find the word democracy explained by General Jackson thus: "De.mochact Protection, distiibution, sound national currency, internal improvements, one presidential term. Next let ua suppose Van Buren a Democrat. In his dictionary we find democracy explained thus: "Democract No in ternal improvements, no national currency tariff for revenue only, sub-treasury, standing army, no distribution, &c. &c. We will now look at Mr. Polk's nomenclature. "Dkmocract Free trade, disunion, Texas, slavery, government swindling the states out of iheir lands, accidental protection, British pauperism, British labor, et cct., et cct. It will thus be seen, that one of my that one of my slow temperament would not be likely to turn so many summersets one foi every new candidate. I suppose I am the man alluded to, if not, let the editors of the Democratic Star show any other Lemar, in this county to be the rnan. It cannot be done. John and Thomas, remember Daily and Beam, and especially Wilkerson, of this county, and weep. GALLANT LEMAR. August 2S, 1814. P. S. It was not stated in what township or county S. C. D. Lemar4' lived. I will state, that I live in Washington township, Clinton county, Ohio, that I always have went in for whig principles, and ever expect to, and my prop er name is GALLANT LEMAR. jCr" Our neighber of the Sun inserted in his paper of last Saturday, an article going to show that Mr. Clay and Mr. Frelinghuysen voted against allow ing pensions to the soldiers who fought under Wayne, &c. We do wonder if our neighbor has so far forgotten his selfrespect, as, for parly effect, to publish garbled accounts of every thing ho can lay his hands upon? 'Th true that Messrs. Clay and Frelinghuysen voted against amendments of different kinds, offered and carried by unprincipled demagogue of his own party, who had destroyed the effect of the bill by amendments. And it is also true, that upon the final passaga of said bill James K. Polk x-oted in the negative, to destroy the bill finally, and not to prevent amendments that would have that effect thnte he vnted for. That ia ju.t the difference between the rotes of your tory candidate and Messrs. riav and Frelmnhuveen,

Our Ioccfoco opponents have such ten

uci cuuseieuces now a-uays, mat we cannot for the life of us, help giving the toiiowing acconnt ol the "most outrageous affray ever ivilnessed in a civilized coan try" a place this week, for their especia benefit. They, on all occasions, denounce Mr. Clay, as aduelest, but we defy them to prove, that he ever killed his man, or attacked one or more, like a blood thirsty lawless, bully; or ever did an act, that i i . i . . . . i uau wits remoiesi resemoiance, to even wishing to harm a fellow beinr, without giving him an equal chance. Hut be cause Mr. Clay, has unfortunately been engaged in someone or two duels, wdiere no harai,;was done either party, he must be denounced by every demagogue as a duelist." Hut General Jackson, their dictator, can attack, in the most attro cious manner, a man and his brother, who were trying to avoid the lawless bulley, and it is all right! O, yes! Gene ral Jackson, can do no wrong. Here is the documents signed by the defence in his own name. STATEMENT. "A difference which had been for some months brewing between General Jack son and myself, produced, on Saturday, the 4tn instant, in the town of Nashville, the most outrageous aliray ever witnessed in a civilized country. In com municating this affair to my friends and fellow citizens, I limit myself to the statement of a few leading facts, the truth of which I am ready to establish by judicial proofs: '1. That myself and brother, Jesse Ben. ton, arrived at iNasnville on the morning of the affray, and, knowing of General Jacksou's threats, went and took our odojinfirs in a different house from the one iii which he staid, on purpose to avoid iim. 2. That the General and some of his friends came to the house where we had put up, commenced the attack by level ling a pistol at me, when I had no weapon, and advanced upon me at quick pace, without giving me time to draw one. 43. That, seeing ibis, my brother fired upon General Jackson, when he had got within eight or ten feet of me. L That four other pistols were fired in quick succession: one by Gen. Jackson at me, two by me at the General, and one by Colonel Coffee at me. In the course of this firing, Gen. Jackson was brought to the ground, but I received no hurt. 5. That daggers were ihen drawn. Col. Coffee and Mr. Alexander Donaldson made at me and gave me five slight wounds. Captain llamtnon and Mr. Stukely Havs engaged my brother, who being still weak from the effect of a severe wound he had lately received in a duel, was not able to resist two men. They pot him down, and, while Capt. Hammond beat him on the head to make him lie still, Mr. Hays attempted to stab him, and wounded him in both arms as he lay on his back parrying his thrusts with his naked hands. From this situation a generous hearted citizen of Nashviile. Mr. Summer, relieved him. Before he came to the ground, my brother clapped a loaded pistol to the breast of Mr. Hays, to blow him through but it missed fire. 4G. My own and my brother's pistols carried two balls each; for it was our intention, if driven to arms, to have no child's play. The pistols fired at me were so near that the blaze of the muzzle of one of them burnt the sleeve of my coat, an -1 the other aimed at my head at a little more than an arm's length from it. 47. Captain Carroll was to have taken part in the affray, but was absent by permission of Gen. Jackson, as he has since proved by the General's certificates which reflects less honor, I know not whether upon the General or upon the Captain. 'That this attack was made upon me in the house where the Judge of the district, Mr. Searcy, had his lodging! So little are the laws and its ministers respected. Nor has the civil authority yet taken cognizance of this horrible outrage, THOMAS HART BENTON. "Lieut. Col. 30th Infantry." In the Sun of last Saturday, there is a miserable attempt made, to make it appear, that Mr. Clay, is out in a recent letter in favor of the Annexation of Texas!. 'Tia said the "Devil can quote scripture for his purpose, and by garbled ex tracts, wo suppose, our opponents, can make Mr. Polk in favor of a Tariff, or any thing they please, to answer their purpose. Wc publish the letter of Mr. Clay on the outside of to-day's paper, and ur readers can judge upon what terms he is in favor of annexation. The Cincinnati Daily Straightout, gives gives the matter thus condensed, w hich we copy. WITHOUT DISHONOR!' WITHOUT WAR!!' WITH THE COMMON CONSENT OF THE UNION ! ' ! ' UPON JUST AND FAIR TERMS ! ! ! ! ' These are the conditions upon which Mr. Clay says that he will consent to annex Texas to the United States; and there is no true whig that can object to them. The Polk creed i3, to annex it without any regard to honor,' war,4 consent of Ihe people, or 'just and fair' principles. Imme diately is the Polkite cry, and immediately4 re spond all the locofoco journals throughout the length and breadth of the country. ICT William S. Fulton. United States Senator from Arkansas, died rccn'lv.

We very reluctantly publish this wetk, on our first page, the evidence of the Tory descent of the present Locofoco candidate for the Presidency. We aro impelled to do this from the fact, that a young would-be leader of tho "unterrified Democracy" in this place, has repeatedly, we are told, pronounced if all n "Whig lie," and utterly without faundation. It will be seen, that both Wliig andLocof'co testimony are brought in proof of the accuracy of the charge. OT Wre learn officially that Abner Davis, Senator from Daviess and Martin

counties, died recently. There will have to be a special eioction held, to supply the vacancy, we nave heard the names oi two persons epoken of in connexion with the office, both good and true Whigs, and we have no doubt but that one of them will be chosen to fill the vacancy. R. A. Clements and Aaron Houghton, are the gentlemen thought of. We have also to record the death of another conspicuous gentleman of Daviess county. Patrick M. Brett, Esq., at the time of his death Auditor of the couniv. and once a senator from Daviess and Mar tin counties. 6C7"Tho Hon. Francis IJ. Shank, has been nominated by the Locofoco party of I'ennsylvania, as their candidate for Gov ernor of that stale, in placa. of the Hon. J. A. Muhienburgh, deceased. In what does' the principles of our Lo co Foco Polko opponents consist Answer. In the abuse, by mere boys, of men who were distinguished in the country's service, before they were born. 1 here is no surer test of the rottonness of a cause, than wheirits suppurters earn uie discussion oi principles, tor the, oweet, filthiest, and most distrusting perso nal abuse. Desperate must that cons" be indeed, that resorts to such means. In what does the principles of our lo cofoco Polko opponents consist? rfiiswer. In the abuse, by mere bovs. of men who were distinguished in their country's service, before they were bom. There is no surer test of tho rottenness of a cause, than when its supporters leavo the discussion of principles, for the low est, filthiest, and most disgusting personal buse. Desperate must that cause be inleed, that resorts to such means. The Cincinnati Daily Straightout, after a temporary suspension, has been rc-is-ued; and, with its wonted vigor, is doin" the cause much and real service. It is the best campaign paper we have seen, and we wish our old friend the success he so well merits. - C? The Locofoeos oppose the Whifs in their wishes for a United States Bank, through whose influence a national currency, will be es ablished throughout the and, for two reasons : First. Because they are well aware. in the creation of a Unitc-d States flank, there will be but one currency for rich and poor the people whom they pretend to love so much will, in this narticnlar ho. placed on i level with themselves who have fattened for the last sixteen years on the spoils of office wrun,z from the hard earnings of that same 4 dear !eonie' and. their system of little financiering be en tirely ruined. . Secondhi. Because in the second nlace their opposition is founded upen tho superior wisdom thev possess over the ir-nor. aiice of a WaSHINGTOX. who siirnp.l tho first BaTk bill ; and who had seen that bill passed by those men m Congress, who in Convention , had framed the Constitution and ought by right to have known their own meaning in framing that Charter of our rights. Because too they aro vastly wiser than James Madison, who sio-npi tht Bank bill ; and who penned a lare nart of the Constitution. Yes we say, they oppose a Bank, because they think themselves wiser in their own conceit, than even their Dictator General Jackson, who said he would give Congress a plan of a Bank bill if they would ask him. But they did not ask him, as Congress had not yet learned the duty of passive obedience to such perfection, as his present partv, which he has turned over to Polk, have learned it. Locofoco bovs know moro ?mu- lba did the sages of the RfitrJnfi, i day. How wise some folks have grown! The "Mum" Candidate The Democracts of Cumberland county, Pennsylva. n.a, on the 0ih cf July last, held a meeting at which they resolved that Mr. Polk's ; letter to J. K. Kane, was "not entirely satisfactory."
