PLEASANT TOWNSHIP Democratic Meeting.

To the Citizens of the 7th Congressional l)istlict of Indiana.

Judge Bisgev at Jladlsou*

Beaut Ifol Languase*

Administrator’s Sale.

Samuel Bipger, Eiq., the Whig-Harmonian-Democratic (/jcindid&te forgorernorofthis Hate, according to previous notice, addressed a portion of the citizens of Madison at the lower Market-house 1 , last Thursday evening. We regret very much that the urgency of buatnen preventing ua from attending but for a few moments/ Short, however, as was the time, we heard enough of his address, to enable form a tolerable correct opinion of the “Judge's” political character and talents. Krofn flying whig rumors, (which are the only kind flying now-a-drys) that be. held a firm grasp on iho : *fslippery eel of science,” wo'starled with the expectation of hearing a masterly effort, if not a good foun-, dation, at least in endeavoring to ''make the teorte'appear the better cause;” but how great was oursurpriso and disappointment, on finding this pseudo whig democratic candidate as destitute of general information, originality 'of thought,' and correct views of:national policy, and those' cunning and reckless qualities which form they principal feature of the character of the whig politicians of the present day.' As a,whole the "address” was as weak and deceptive, u it was tedious and peurite, and his assertions; though made with impudence, equalled only by the desperation of their cause, might be easily refuted; for many of them were erroneous,'and withouti the least foundation. He commenced by vainly | endeavoring to absolve hlmself and the whig I party from all the respoijhililyj of the ruinous I effects of our exploded of internal improvement, and fasten it .upon the democratic party; but in this Herculean (ask, as might have been imagined; he entirely failed. The effort was so absurd, that we deem it unworthy of no-1 lice, further' than (o' enquire) who word its founders!—who supported.and fostered It!—and what party-has had the ascanpency during its progress! The anawerisupon every tongue—the Federalists, and hence according to their o*wn parity of reasoning in'charging the general government with thp';cauae of alt the miseries' which have fallen on the country, they must bear ihe resposibility, if r'esponsibilily there be; for at no lime since its comma hca meat,' has the Democratic party, 'had the ascendency m our state. .. ' ’ : .. v ; . % /Having this part of the address, to the salisfacuW,nodoubt of himaelf, end his whig auditors; Mr. Bigger looked said be Would descant .a while oh national politics—arranged his documents—took t glass of "hard cider”— coughed—-and- * / 11 pul hii face in a posture Of sapience, and began (o blatter, 1 ’ about what be termed the “usurpations of power fa/, the president,”—the nefarious conduct of leg treasurers—the injurious tendency of subtreasuries—gave bis opinion upon several measures of national and state policy—marked out those destined for favor, and those destined for opposition. One measure be particularly deprecated—the BABY LAW,!!! On thisiubject, the Judge should have 'kept mum—for he was treading too close on the toes of some of his whig friends. After listening a few momenta longer to some almost inconceivably crroncoui deductions, and business being pressing, we left the market place, retying on some friend for the synopsis of the entire speech. Should wo hot be disappointed in this we may notice it again. ■ tl/ddimn Courier.

The editor of the Beacon, in bis lut beautiful sheet, speaking t>f a paragraph going the rounds of the Van Ourea pipers, as be says, bat which no one else baa eeen, in regard to an assertion made by John Davis, in the U. S. Senate, hold a this most beautiful language:

WILL -be sold at the bouse of Samuel. Gilliland, (being the late residence of Apn Gil* liland late of Switzerland county, deceased,) on the 20th day of April next, (ho personal estate of said dec’d,, consisting of 1 Horse, Woman's Saddle, and Household and Kitchen Fur nllure.

Terras of sale, alt sums over three dollars, a credit of twelve months, the purchaser giving note with approved security; under three dollars cash.

f Pkllow-Citixexs,—1 have received letters recently, from Individuals in various parts of the State, inquiring when I would resign and return home! The interest that'may, under the circumstances, be felt on this subject, and especially my duty to you, require that I should not leave this question in dmtlft. My relation to the citizens of my district is most gratifying; anti, to dissolve it, is’a stop that I take reluctantly, I have, however, fell it to he tny duty to yield to tho wishes of a large and respectable body of citizens, by accepting the nomination made by the Democratic Convention on the f*ilt of January last, and it therefore becomes necessary that I should resign my seat in Congress. But after the most mature reflection, I am satis, fied that to resign and leave my seat vacant until the close of the session,: would bo. a questionable example, to say the least of it, and inconsistent with what I owe to you. 1 shall therefore, icmain here until the adjournment, when I shall resign, and place it in your power to supply the vacancy. - Some of my friends think I ought to resign at an earlier day, in order to bi* able to visit all parts of the State before the August ’election.— It is true 1 approve of the usage which prevails amongst us, by which candidates for important stations are required to engage in public discussions, upon Lite topics connected with the office to which they aspire, but it ought lb give way to the positive.injunctions of duly. *• In regard to the gubernatorial election, I owe it .to my own feelings and to truth to say, that the connexion ■ of my name with it was without my consent and often expressed wishes. It is an office that, while it is tho most Jim notable withm tho gift of Indiana, no man can take upon himscll without llnT most absoluteccrtainty of failing to meet the expectations of. an embarrassed and oppressed community. The a (fairs of the State fur years to conic will will need iho most '-perfect harmony in her councils, and they wiliyulfer just to proportion as those,councils shall bo divided and distracted. (My; wish is, therefore-^—ami it is strengthened by’triy love of peace—that our canvass may be conducted with-' out angry disputation. The. question now is, no: tohal hat been doue t but m hat shall we t/o?— This should be met by calm reflection and sober inquiry. To promote such a state of feel-' ingiainy anxious wish; and when it shaU.bc my happiness to return home, endji to address the people of the State, 1 trust that I| shall be able to take that course which willd&calculated to allay , the bitterness of party animosity ;■ so that, in the event of fny success'll niay feel that I am the Chief Magistrate of the whole State, not of a part only; or, in the event of defeat, to retire to the pursuits of private life, without having my happiness marred by review ingjhe past.

Pursuant to notice, ibe Democratic citizens of Pleasant township met at Moorefield, on Saturday last, the llib day of April, 1S40. ' .The meeting was organized by appointing JAMES Si LONG, President, and Squire Holies', Secretary, The meeting being called tobrder, and its object having been stated, on motion a committee of three were appointed 1 to draft a preamble and resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, The committee, after a short retirement, returned and reported the following, which was ■unanimously adopted—after which the meeting ■was very ably addressed by* 3Iesirs.

JFAcreor, A powerful struggle ii making by , the Federal Whig party, to break down the administration of the'Geoeml Government, and to overturn the fundamental principles of Democracy, as established by Thomas Jefferson, and sustained by Andrew Jackson: and whereas; we have every reason to believe, should the opposition pariy succeed to' power, the Government will be administered and controlled—nut by the sovereign will of the people, but by a moneyed monster without a soul, and the money of the . 'Government again to he hazarded in the hands of a set ufswindling sharpers, whose avarice and cupidity delights in'the plunder of the people: And whereas, the Constitution of this government, and tho wealofthe people, [require the adoption ■ of the Independent Treasury Bill, whose object will be the safe keeping of the public money in .the hands of the officers of the governAient, responsible to the people whose wilt is the law oft ho laud; And whereas, it becomes the Democracy to be on the alert, if she wishes to establish those wholesome principles which are part ol'our political creed,.and to save tho country from the grasping avarice of whig office seekers, whose bowlings and denunciations show the recklessness of their course and their repeated disappointed hopes. Therefore, bo it RetoUed, That wc have undiminished confidence in the political integrity, firmness and patriotism of Martin Van Bure if.

"Gkskiui. Harrison’s Prospects inPevsstlvama.—Within a few’ week*, wc have conversed with numerous intelligent citizens, from various, parts of the Slate;* and they all concur in the opinion, that the federal hero of North Bend, hu made his best run in Pennsylvania—that his popularity wanes as the knowledge of his competency spreads, and that he come nearer obtaining .the vole of this State, by at least 10,00t) in 1836, than he will tho enfcuing fall.- This diminution of strength, is particularly observable in the western counties, were he ran best before. A federal humbug cannot deceive mure than once... The federal party wilt find to their sorrow, that there is a wide difference between the Hero of New Orleans and the Herb of North Bend.” *. . ■

Fire—Yesterday morning, about oneo’clock, the Steamboat Commerce, was discovered to be pa fire. She arrived here from New* Orleans about a week since, and was laid up for repairs. The fire appears to have*broken out on thp y upper deck-, and the flames raged so instantly that nearly the whole of the upper part of the boat was consumed before the'arrivH of the engines. On their arrival, the ‘fire was soon subdued, .which sired her hull. The damage is supposed to be about $5,000, upon which we underland there is an insurance at New Orleans to the amount of 4 or 5,600 dollars. The vessel is owned conjointly by Messrs, Strader and Gorman and the Captain of the boat, Samuel ‘Drickel. We are not informed how the fire originated. * [Adcerlitrr,.

The Jloilon Courier, Whig, says: “We moreover doubt whether much would be gained to the community by. exchanging Mr. Van Buren for any ether man,” The J\t io York Gazelle, Whig, pays: “The National Convention has closed its dabora at llarrisburgh, and the result is the selection of William' Henry Harrison. as the party candidate for the Presidency.

The Chronicle, Whig, gays: “Desirous as we have been toaupport the opposing candidate to Mr. Van Burcii, we cannot go for Harrison,—and we think it time and labor spent in vain to attempt to elect him.” The Boston Diily Ad ter I iter. Whig, says: “We confess'wo have some curiosity tulcarp which of the nicinbers of the delegation from this state can claim the honor of having given the vote,of the state for a candidate [Gen.

The following is from that excellent democratic journal, the Columbian Register, printed, at .New Haven, Coon.: “Fighting whiggery is very much like lighting Indians. They take position behind a lie, as the Indian does behind a tree—and as they are -driven from one, they retreat to another. Instead of showing their colors boldly, it is impossible to tell from what quarter their attack will come. Tjhey fired oft* their from behind a mb-treasury lie, until they were exposed and put 'to flight. Then they put a scarecrow He so the public lands—and pelted away from behind that, until that position was made too warm lor them

Marlin Van Barca aad the Working Men* The following paragraph, which we extract from the Washington Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun of yesterday, speaks volumes in praise of our worthy Pre3jdonl,.M»nin Van Boren. It shows, in a clear light, bis regard for the interests of working men, and substantiates the belief we have always entertained, that he considers the humblest individual in the country its much entitled to the respectful consideration and protection of the government as the most favored of fondne. Our’ opponents may boast of their friendship for the working men till they are tired, but they cannot convince the honest farmers, mechanics and laborers, that Harrison’* pro/ettiom are paramount to Mr. Van Buren’s deed's.—Stale Capital Gazette, ' “The President of the United Stales issued an order yesterday to the superintendents of all the navy yards, arsenals, public buildings, &c. directing them to require of the mechanics, laborers, and arlizans, employed by them, ten hours labor only. Heretofore, this very useful, and most worthy das* of society, have been required to work from sun to sun, this too, in the long days of June, July, August, and a part of September, actually laboring from 12 to 10 hours. The issue of the order ot which 1 speak. Is credible to the liberality of the Executive.”

‘ The Philadelphia Sentinel, Wliig-, says: “Dissatisfaction was loudly expressed by many of the leading Whigs of this quarter, on rereiving ihc news of the nomination of the Hanisburgli Convention, and threats of resisting it wete freely made.’* The lion.

Preparation for War.

The different naval stations have received order! from Washington to put all the Government vessels in order for immediate service.— This ia perfeqtlv right, although wc hope that the existing difficulties may be so arranged, •that they will not he needed. Peace Is at all ;times preferable to war; yet, rather than our 'Country should submit to insults from a foreign foe let us have the latter.
