To tho VVhig-s of Knox County. We have among! us somo men who profess much piety, who till high places in their respective societies, who therefore claim, and who thereby seem lo some ex tent to possess tho confidence of their fe low-citizens, whose conduct has satisfied mo that thev are rank hypocrites. In the la'tfew months three several efforts have been mad ? by more or less of these m m three gross clforts to perverl to their own selfhh political purposes the good intentions of portions of th ur feliow-citi-z-ns, each so base, and the last so impudent, that I cannot resist tho inclination to devote a portion of the leisure of this Sabbath to an exposition of this wickedness. Perhaps somo of them are not entirely hist. 1 rhaps if they can be induced to road a whig newspaper, thoy may be led to act better hereafter, and at ail events, the public should be warned in time. Some time last winter a considerable Temperance mivement was made in Yin ennes, and I trust some good was done. Whigs and Locos, religious men. find men without religion participated in it, and amongst the most active were some loco professors of religion. Fut 'ihe trail of the serpent was over them all.' There were some prominent whigs, looked to ?.s prehablo candidates for office, who ha 1 not j lined in this temperance movement, although they were not intemperate, men.

Here then was an opportunity for our loeof oco temperance saints too tempting to

pass over; an opportunity to obtain pledges against prominent Whigs for the benefit of loeofocoisai. A pledge was prepared in due form, when some one saw into it, and exclaimed, 'Get thee behind me Satan, thou art an offence unto me: for thou savorest not the things that be of Go I, but those that ba of men.' And this hypocrisy did injure ihe cause of Temperance in Vincennes. Some weeks afterwards, a meeting of locos was held in Vincennes, ostensibly to appoint, delegates to a congressional convention, but also in fact to contrive by what trickery and treachery, an-1 rascality, by w hat debasement and d oceit. and fraud, six hundred voters could be made to beat a thousand. At this meeting, attended by all ihe choice spirits of the party, candidates were selected, and a course of measures was determined on to deceive, mislea 1 and humbug the whigs. Amongst other things, it was determined that the candidates thus selected should not bo announced as the regular convention party candidates. Oh no. These men were lo be presented separately and by their several friends as independent candidates. In other woids, this meeting coolly and deliberately determined to act deceitfully and fraudulently; and yet amongst them were many men professing religion and pretending to honesty. I appeal lo these men, and I ask them, aro ye not hypocrites? Are ye not of those of whom it was said, 'Even so ye also appear outwardly religious unto men, but within ye an; full of hypocrisy and iniquity'? John Decker has always been a favor-i ite with tho loco leaders in Knox county. Amongst tho whigs, had he been a whig, he would have passed as an ordinary man. Foriothing respectful can bo said of him. but that can be said of many whigs. Ful amongst locos, we acknowledge it, he stands solitary, peculiar, grand. For four ong years he was Sheriff of Knox coun ty, and he neither charged illegil fees, nor gouged tho ignorant, nor oppressed the friendless, nor robbed the Seminary Fund, nor ever put the public money out at interest for the benefit of his own pockets. No. John Decker did none of these tilings, Hut he acted as the whigs in office always act, as John Purcell acted, and as Abraham Smith acted, ani as Isaac Mass and Ja--. Johnson act. Ho acted as an honest man; an 1 therefore, oh ye locos, he iiworthy your admiration; and when occasionally you recall his merits to tho attention of the public, you show that, stained as you are bv the ordinary baseness of your ordinary oilice holders, ye are yet not utterly lost you have at least some outward respect lor common honesty. Therefore, again I say, raise your jubilations, oh ye Stouts and Pulhams, and Mayses, and Gardners. Rejoice and clap your hands. o!i ve total locofocalitv, for John De c ive r has never been charged with stealing! He is acknowledged to be commonly honest. Rut I presume that it would not be dillicult to prove that while honest John Decker can in public denounce whig conventions, he can in private, sanction, and perhaps attend loco caucuses. The loco ticket having been thus in private arranged, the measures necessary to ensure its success, the triumph of six hundre 1 locos over ten himdied whigs, as settled in caucus, were gradually developed. They were all founded on gross doceil on the rankest hypoeriey on the vilest of preiencea. The great object was to prevent ihe union of the whigs. Hence the tirst, the second, the last, and the whole effort was the deception of John Ewiiig. For this Piety Pea, & Magnanimity Mayes, and Patriotic Pulliam, and Sincerity Stout, and Honesty Elliott, ami Bullying lieckes. and Rrokaw, and Marney, and Mellenry, for this all tho choice spirits of tho party have united. Ye hypocrites! well did Isaias prophesy of you saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoreth mo with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Weil, tho plot has succeeded in part; a politician, rejected by his own patty, and casting about for straw on which to hang himself, blinded by passion and stimulated by an insane ambition, has been deceived, and has been induced to tell the people that it is immaterial whether the next Senator from Indiana to Congress be a ?7g or loco. An opposition whig candidate for the State Senate thus se cured, John Ewing once more arrayed in opposition to his party, tho third act in this long continued political deception begins to develope itself. It is now necessary to unito the locofocality. Each one of the locos must be made to rally round the party candidates. The democracy must be aroused, not by an open public barbecue as last year, but by a solemn mockery, to which honest -loiimr.r.iii slnll Ha invitpil. and nruMiardtid 'v i . . . ...... 1 1 . . i . ... whigs shall be entrapped, by an appeal to their better feelings, by their regard for the memory of the mightv daad. First, the whigs in ihe Vincennes Lodge aro sucked in. Methinks I can see the solemn soberness of Sincerity Stout and the other loco brethren when the proposition was mad3 to invite the people of Knox county to a groat loco jubilation, just before trie next election. Methinks I can see the solemn mockery with which it was proposed that John Law should be called on to eulogise the life of Andrew Jackson, and the principles of his administration. When Gen. Jackson was on his death bed, President Polk disregarded fiis wishes and trampled on his feelings, and hurled from oilice w ithout a pretence his nearest, and dearest, and best friend. When Gen. Jackson is dead, political hypocrites seize on the opportunity of exhibiting their zeal for democracy, and by public, mock burial ceremonies show their utter disregard of his dying wishes, for

a private unostentatious interment; ami when all the cities have enacted the solemn firce when all ihe newspapers of th tiuntry have been again and again til-rrij-Xith eulogies when the mo kery itself is every where almost forgotten, it is revived herein Vincennes, to secure a locofoco gathering just before the election, and thus to enable the wire workers So inspire the crow d with their own base purposes, and to enable John Law once more to violate all consistency and ail decency.

and to eulogise in the presence of whigs.. as the resulls of the wisdom and ioretno t of a patriotic statesman, those measures of the administration of President Jackson which lie, John Law, ai the time denounced, and which ihe whigs vet denounce as follies, humbug, usurpations, the sources of all the evils under which the country has labored since lsod, and yet labors. No intelligent whig can listen to such an eulogy from such a source without contempt for the orator, and no honest whig can countenance such an insult to his own opinions, and such an outrage on his own self-respect. The whigs of Knox county will not attend under such circumstances. 1 lie locotocaiuy n:ia gather together under this pretence, but tho whigs will not be deceived. Ami jut so it is written, 'that the triumphing of the wicked is short, and ihe j v of ihe hvpocri'e but for a moment. Tor the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and the lire shall consume the tabernacles of biibery, and the hypocrite's hope shall perish.' ONE OF THE THOUSAND. F0;i THE VIXCK.XNCS GAZETTE. Mr. Editor. I was much pleased on seeing an improvement m your paper oy the insertion ot matter in relation to the markets. If you would not deem it impertinent, I would suggest a plan by w hich it may be still farther improved, for a large portion of your readers, as well as for yourself. For by this change I venture to predict your subscription list would be enlarged considerably. (This I seo you are anxious should be the cae.) Tho change is this: instead of such artides as Mrs. Caudle's lectures, nonsen side love-sick love stories all the tim: to devote a small portion, say two columns, D the interests oi Agriculture. i ne Farm, Garden, Orchard, the raising and training of the different kinds of stock. &c, &c. There are many farmers who can, and I know of one w ho would, contribute occasionally as far as his knowledge will allow. Among those who can I would mention Messrs. II. Rarekman, II. Wyant, R. V. Heckes, D. Smith and sons, A and Win. Simpson, A. R. McKee. A. Smith, S. Emison, J. and S. R. Alexander, V. T. Scott, N. Purcell and sons, W. Iiaper, W. Kelso, E. M. Jones, Thos. Scott, Sohn Scott, Wm. Scott, W. Fruce, J. P. Cox, Jos. Chauihers, Chas. Polke, II. R. Shepard, G. M. Ocheltree, J. M. Emison, Jas. Thrniikill, L. Langton, and last, though not least, John Law and Samuel Judah, Esq'rs. Any of the above gentlemen and many others that might be mentioned, could give an article occasionally, practical, common sense and readable articles just the kind. And were they to fail, (which they by no means should do.) you could give us one yourself, or Select from the mny able agricultural papers of the day, such essays, addresses or other articles as you might deem proper. This I think would have a tendency to awaken a spirit of rivalry among ihe farmers of Old Knox; and perhaps arouse the now dormant 'Knox County Agricultural Society.' Why is it we have no Agricultural society in Old Knox? How lonor will it be so? We need it much. Nothing short ol thiscan prevent ihe farmers of Knox from falling much farther behind tho improvements of ihe day. I. for one, am persuaded that its revival and re-organization wou'd not prove ineffectual. If upon consideration you determine to insert this, it is at your disposal. If not, lay it under the table or in the fire no harm done. Y'our pardon is respectfully solicited for the intrusion. Yours truly, A FARMER OF VIXCENNE3 TOWNSHir. FOR TIIE VINCENNES GAZETTE. CUIPPINGS--IN CHAPTERS. BV QUIZ. CHAPTER I. Nature is a queer one, Mons. Editor, a veiy queer ono en vtriti. quite a curiosity is Dame Nature. She plays many amusing and extravagant games. YTou may see her here, another there, Chameleon-like, you neither see her. She clothes herself in such variegated robes, and walks about under such diversified colors, that one scarce believes ihe selfsame creature is thus endowed. Even man, her handiwork, lhat imitative animal that physical actuality, is wideU cast asunder, and extraavgantly unlike Variety is the spice of life.' So thought Nature when she formed this, her favorite mechanism. She stamped on ono a very prominent, and highly interesting proboscis, its elevation or depression, varying according to the energy with which the fingers shake that useful an-1 productive organ. On another she was pleased to daub on but a thimble full of her precious metal, and thus by a want of magnanimity, benevolenco, or sticking substance, (wo, her dutiful and loyal representatives, are incompetent to determine,) instituted what is very indiscreetly and vulgarly called the sharp or scrubby Snu. Donblles3 she had her essential reasons for making this material difference in Noses. Rut why she should make the nose and the driver of that same nose in such sad and melancholy disproportion, is a meet themo for grave discussion.

Rut it is seid ihe venerable Dame is

perversely unfriendly and unsocial toward proportions and regularity. This seems to bear on its physiognomy the semblance: of fact and truth. For we are under the extremely disagreeable compulsion of frequently meeting amidst associations in which chanco or circumstances hurl us, a small, diminutive, pigmy-like creature, (whose legs form admirable alternatives for drum "hammers, and whose genera! constitution appears feeble and lank.) all drawn nn together in one large, towering and eloquent proboscis his exhibit is singular, queer and whimsical he is a funny little thing, and remarkably prone to incline gently forward he is heavy at one extreme, a gourd is gifted with tiie like striking propensity. I noticed once two associates of thie kind approaching on a wide and spacious ground, they seemed aware of their several dignity and importance. As they neared eacti other, a trembling oppressed the respective owners, and a dread of concussion ran alon the wrinkled surface of their visage. As they passed, the head was thrown hastily up, as a partition wall to prevent a nasal outrage. Again we see Mr. ti feet 9 steadily pressing onward in determined mood, he shows anxious disquietude, he is in haste, his every motion is quick and disturbed. Now he faces rouTd, you view his frontispiece, a good surface, but llat as a prairie perfectly level. lie looks funny too, and doubtless feels quizzical. lie is amusing, at least to punsters, and though 'unconscious' is written on that forehead, he of fers delicious food for the ludicrous. I he contrast is fine forcible, the man large, muscular, powerful, immense the nose, Like a drop of water sinks 'mid the ocean's depths, Without a grave, unkenncl'J, uncolftn'd an-1 unknown.' n a si ii i i: i , In this dace on Tuesday evening fast, the l.oih inst., by the Rev. G. W. Ames, Mr. I lancing . Heberd, to Miss Eunice Hurtch. '7i union there is strength.' So it is written, and so wo believe. May tho strength of love, occasioned by the union of the two above-mentioned Ii3ppy hearts, end only with death, and may the sunny side of fortune always shine upon them through their pilgrimage in this life. in Vinc-nnes on Saturday the 12 ih ins!., Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, consort of John Moore, Esq. The death of this lady has produced an impression from which many will slowly recover, and some never. She was distinguished by a remarkable devotion of character, which led her, w hilst avoiding tho thousand little contests of jealous selfishness which distract society, to aim to spend her life in accordance with trie dignity of her nature, and its elevated destiny. Possessing a solid faith in Christianity, her days were employed in illustrating its principles by her conduct, and w ith an enlightened an-1 never ceasing zi-al, in propagating its observance, on all becoming occasions which wero provided by the refined wisdum of Heaven. It is the ri -mark of one who knew her best, that her conversation seemed entirely employed upon the theme of her religion, and lit r whole soul engaged in jealous watchfulness to promote th.it glory which it is th whole duty of man to render to his Mn ker. One of the most beau ti f 1 1 and affecting features of her Christian character, ami that w hich attracted the admiration of tho whole community, consisted in the warm and unbounded hospitality and charity, with which she lavished with a profuse hand the means of which heaven had inado her the steward. On the establishment of the Episcopal See at Vincennes, when the clergy were distitute of those comforts which the lapse of lime has to some extent provided, her commodious and hospitable mansion was their home, and all its comforts were pressed upon their participation. Fut her heart did not confine itself to the eminent alone; it embraced in its beautiful operation the obscure and ihe needy. W ith her. to detect distress was profound ly to sympathize with it and effectually to relieve it, and we believe few, if any in stances of suffering ever fell within the sphere of her intercourse, without roceiving ihe soothing aid of this almoner of Heaven. The deepest regret has been manifested at her death by this whole community, which so well knew the beauty of her life, but the most touching and honorable testimonies to her loss, ie the tears of the poor, whose grief hvs been so often assuaged by their "angel of mercy.'' She is gone, this venerated being whoso virtues the pen of affection loves to enumerate but never can exhaust. Hut she is gone with the prayers of the high and the humble in her behalf; she is gone to that merciful God who has said, "well done thou good and faithful servant;" she is gone from us, but only to complete and enforce in the serenity of her death tbo beauty of her character.
