Now the earth has revolved once on it-1 axis since Polk sepiatted in the seat hallowed by the immortal Washington, and where is Dorr?

Does Mr. Stout say, w hen ihe dollar law man and numerous other rabid loco, are electioneering against Mr. Speaker Dr. Davis, and for oilier Whigs, to disorganize a id detract ihe party, that they w id not $tcret!y support the men of their party that the party so understand it, notwithstanding their protestations to the contrary, and that they w ill on the day ofthe election, vote for men of their own party? No he cannot say so, nor wid not. This is) too plain even for our neighbor to deny. But why trouble ourself about the veracity and consistency of the locos.

We did not know before that he voted for Pe tit's resolution to have no Chaplains in Congress. We ail know il is a perfect farce to talk about the members supporting Chaplains by ihe vo luntary contributions of the members of that body. Does any one suppose that Felix CeMonnell, A. Kenned. John Pettit, Robert Dale Owen, and such other revilers of religion, wdio disgrace the floors of Congress, would pay one cent for this laudable object? Strip it of all cant, by Dr. Davis' own acknowledgement, he voted in effect to expel Chapla;ns from the Halls of Congress; and thus it was an unmanly and insidious attack against the Christian religion. Few of the enemies of Christianity .'in this enlightened day, come out optnly and boldly against it, but assail it exactly in the indirect way that Dr. Davis did, and he hopes now to blind and deceive the people as to his real motive by ta.King as Pettit did about members of Congress paying for their own preaching.

When a result, so unexpected as the de feat of the Whig party last fall, become known, no doubt many of you felt a halffermed determination to give up all active participation in future contests of the country. The Whigs had presented the name of the Great Champion of their measures as their candidate for the Presidency. His life for forty years had been consecrated to the best interests of his country. His talents were such a3 to command the admiration of the civilized world. A man tho accidental choice of dissatisfied factionists whose talents even now will not pretend to be above mediocrity was his opponent! The page of history, bearing to f .ture times the fact that such an one was successful over the Man of the Age. will be regarded as but another melancholy evidence of the injustice which, in all ages of the world, has been suffered by those most deserving the gratitude of the people. At such a result no wonder that a momentary feeling of despondency should rest upon those who had been so long battling in the cause of the juvr and the kioht. That dt spondency, however, icas but momentary. When a calm survey was taken of the means by which the end was accomplished; and, too, when the reflection passed over the mind, that, whatever of good is yet to be wrought for our country must be by and through the measures of the Whig Party, a fixedness of purpose which no vicissitudes of fortune can shake, took possession of every true Whig heart, and ihey will again be readyto maintain their principles where alone it can be done effectually at the ballotboxes. Whigs of Indiana! We are now in the midst of a canvass well calculated to test our devotion to our principles. Our opponents flushed with an ill-gotten victory banded together (in the language of one of their leaders) by the cohesive power of public plunder,' are making the most dasperi-te efforts to fasten their odioumeasures forever upon our country. The sub-treasury is to be revived the destruction of the Tariff to be accomplished, if they be permitted the undisturbed control of public affairs. Whether their efforts can ba successful!' resisted or not, should have no influence on our action we owe to ourselves and our country to contest every inch of ground with the advancing cohorts of executive power! If, for the next four years, we are compelled to suffer all the evils to bo brought upon us by a mal-administration of our national effjirs let ns, if possible, regain the ascendency in our own State. This can and will be accomplished if we act, I

should ict. ir .t,c,.. avfpd no otner incentive to aciion than to secure a just apportionment of Senatorial and Representative districts, by the next Legislature, il alone should (cf.ll forth ihe most unUring exertions oi 'every Whi in ihe State. Yon, who are so we'd acquainted with Ioeofocoism, neeii not be rt minded of the outrages it never f..,ih.d to nereetrate (when in power) on the rights of the people. Look at the infamous -rerrvmander of Ohio and the still ereater disfranchisement of the peoniej of Missouri, where the Congressional districts were so arranged by a Locofoco r oniiai,im rliMt ihirtv-one thousand Whigs will be unrepresented on the floor of Confiess! Should this unscrupulous party havo a majority in both branches of our next Legislature just sucn an ar.i.uilionmentas will give them the ascendency for tbft npxt live years without regard to the rights of the other portion of ihe peo n!e. will be made. The election is close at hand, there is yet time enough, however, to marshal our forces and bring them to the polls. Will our friends the friends of the country throughout the State, see that it be done? Indiana State Journal. Academy of Fine Arts of Philadelphia De stroyed. On the night of June llth, this noble institution was consumed. The east gallery and Director's Room were destroyed with their rare collection of casts from the atitique and fine pieces of sculpture and choice pictures. The library, w ith its magnificent engravings and illustrations of the arts, was probably saved though badly injured. In the Rotunda most of the valuable paintings were saved though some perished. The entire contents of the Antique Statue Gallery are destroyed, and works of art, which excited the admiration of the world, are now a mass of worthless ruins! Among these were an admirable copy of Titian's Venus, Canova's Three Graces, Hebe, Venus, bust of Junius Bru tus and the magnificent colossal bust of Napoleon, also attributed to Cenova, which was intended for the gate of Rheims, but found its way to this country when every sobuenir of the Empire was interdicted in France; the exquisite antiques of Meleagar, Venus aux Belles Fesses, Laocoon and his sons, Gernvmicus, Venus de Medici, Apollo Antinr. us, Mithridates, Apollo Belvidere, Piping Fawn, Dying Gladiator, Hymen, Paris, Herculese, two Fighting Gladiators, Silerius Bacchus, Castor and Pollux, the bust of Jupiter by Phidias, Lough's colossal cast of Milo, and vari ous other gems of the sculptor's art. Hardly a fragment is preserved smid blackened beams and smouldering lafters they lie a mass of almost iindisiiriguishable ruins a painful sight to the lover of the sublime arts. All the busts in the Rotunda w ere saved and in the north gallery, West's death on a Pale Horse, Hayden's Christ's Entry into Jerusalem, and Allston's Dead man restored to Life. The American, whose account we copy, says: In tho Rotunda, Gilbert Stuart's full length portrait of Washington was preserved, with some little injury, the canvass being torn and flayed, but the features are fortunately preserved. When thi work was rescued from the flames of the preceding evening, we never heard such a gladsome shout sent up as rent the air. It showed, indeed, that he was '"first in tho hearts of ids countrymen." Sully's exquisite portrait of James Ross, Esq., of Pittsburgh, was saved; slightly injured. ihe miracle at (ana was also saved; slightly injured. The miracle at Cana was also skived in a similar condition. In the Directors' room, there was sad havoc, and we feel sick at heart at the b3re task of recording it. Titian's Mistress, portrait of Columbus, a Lucrece after Guido, Inman's portrait of a lady, the property of Dr. Knox; a Flemish Flower Piece, the most exquisitely beautiful and elaborate work of the kind we ever saw Stuart's original portrait of Washington, St. Mark writing, a St. Francis, by Guido a gem too ptecious to be devoured by the ' insatiate tongue of the flame Peale's portrait of Judge Shippen, Inman's Pencil Drawing, Waugh's William Penn, after Sir Godfrey, Kneller; Shipwreck by salvator Rosa, Lambilen's portraits of Judge Hopkinson and John Votighan, and a portrait of John Quincy Adams, are all gone! A Legislature in a Bad Fix. The Legislature of Iowa have not received any pay for their services, nor is it known when they will. The money must come from Uncle Sam, and he, or his officers, appear to be in no hurry to remit it. The Legislature tried to raise the wind by a loan, but could not succeed, and many, if not most of the members, havo not the wherewith to pay their bills. It is re ported that they have determined to continue in session until the money does come. Why do they not follow the illustrious example of the Missouri Locofocos, and borrow from their bank?

Wonderful Land Slide in Ulster couaty. New York. A correspondent of tho New York Ev enin,T Post writing from L ister, says: 'Never, within the recollection of the oldest citizen, has nature given such awful

demonstrations of her freaks in this vicinty, as happened here a few weeks since. On the night of the od of May last, a large tract of land, comprising a portion of ihe farms ol'J. II. B. Dimond and James G. Bruyn, broke loose, and was carried by tho force of its own gravity, about l'dfj yards, carrying with it fruit trees, and vti. rious others of large size, some still standing in their upright position; others torn from their beds and scattered in the most beautiful confusion. What has caused this rupture, no one has, as yet, ascertained. Nought was heard of the 'move' of this mass of matter, save as one of the. neighbors says he heard the sound of a rushing mighty wind.' The first intimation we had of any thing uncommon having taken place, was, that the Rondout creek below the slide, was, on the following morning completely dry. On our ztrival at the place, we found that tho earlii had broken loose about thirty feel from the stage road, leading from Kingston to Wortsboro, running parallel with the road for about 120 yards, forming a chasm t the point where it started, of about 1U0 feet perpendicular. The whole body contained about sixty acres of land. In its passage it crossed the Rondou: stream. literally clearing the bed of all obstructions, and depositing its contents to the height of about 10 feet in the bed uf the stream for about 100 yards, forming a dam at one dash across the whole stream impervious as masonry could make it. The w aters above proved what has alw ays been considered impossible, namely, their power of running 'up stream.' This it continued to do for the distance of about two miles, to a place called Ilixon's dam, where after finding its level, it recoiled with the help of human hands, and its own powers, it forced its passage through tho adjoining lands, to find its old channel below. G. T. D. While writing this I am informed byone of our oldest inhabitants that n simi lar occurrence took place about sixty-five years ego. Poor Tyler. We saw a largo map of the United States, a few days ago with the likenesss of all the Presidents, including James K. Polk, except John Tyler; the agent said they would not sell with his likeness on.

Jill is not Gold that Glitters. No, nor yet silver, as appears by tho ultimate history of the forty odd thousand Spanish dollars, of ancient date and ap pearance, which were exhumed lately by the fall of a tree, somewhere in Georgia. 1 he coins on closer examination, provo to be counterfeit a base mixture of copper and zinc, with a thin coat of silver wash. 1 he finder, however is not utterly without cause for thanks lo his 'ood luck: the dollars are worth some hundreds, it is said, as bell-metal. Interest on the Pennsylvania Debt. The last numbei of the Philidelphia Pennsylvania!! says: There seems to be a firm and determined resolve in every section of the Stat to meet the payment of the August interest. We learn from Harrisburg that the following counties have notified the Slate treaurer of their determination to comply with his circular of the 24th ult.: Philadelphia, Lancaster, Yrork, Chester, Lehigh, Delaware and Fayette. These counties will pay into the Stats treasury over five hundred thousand dollars. The commissioners of Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, and Tioga have given notice to their collectors, in their respective counties, to pay all moneysjover they shall have collected before the 15th of July next, and in teveal others attention has been called on the subject. Tfxas Mail. An orJer has been issued from the Post Ofiice Department, under the act of Congress authorising the establishment of mails in the Gulf of Mexico, directing the postmaster at New Orleans to contract for the conveyance of a weekly, or, if practicable, a semi-weekly mail between New Orlpnnu and rllvpctmi The rates of postage will be ten cents for every letter not exceeding a half ounce iu weight, twenty cents on each letter exceeding a half ounce in weight, but not exceeding one ounce in weight, and fiva cents for each additional half ounce or fraction of an ounce, and ihree cents for each newspaper, pamphlet, or prioes current sent, or received by this route. The inland postage between New Orleans and the place in the United States from or at which the letter, &c, is despatched or received, is to be charged in addition to tho foregoing rates. Postage on letleis, &c., to Texas is to be pre-paid; and all postage on letters, &c, is to be unpaid till received at New Orleans or other place of destination in the United State. 7,ou isvillc Joj"' The Beauties of Racing. The Spirit of the Times, in speaking of Pevtona, says: Barney informed us that on the fourth mile of the second heat he was fearful the race was lost, lie had been spurring hi mare so incessantly that her larcerated sides became callous, and he changed his seat in order to get at new Jlesli! He could not have won the race by an inch luore than he did.
