A debt of $13,.0(10,000, saddled upon the citizens, tax paying citizens of tliis state, only for the pu rpose of making Eomo rich nabob still more rich, and eating gut the. very vitals of the people! • 'Farmers, and producers of Indiana, you who have to bear the burthen of this enormous dob I, let me ask you, when will this debt bo paid! Mothtnks 1 hear you one aud all answering, pever! no never!!
It is one of the most lamentable characteristics of the present times, that men opposed' to the administration | however exalted io station, arid io name, are as rcgkleas of truth itrtheir public speech as and documents, as is the subservient instrument pOJlritiah whiggery in - •*$ daily editorials. The colt duel of the federal file lead-ers-in the National Legislature, on thn introduction into that august assemblage pf Mr. Poinsett’* plan for the belter organization of the Militia,— their gross perversion of its provision—their abuse of the President,.and iheirsubsequelil interference in the recent election* in the state of Virginia, arc striking illustrations of this fact. Immediately on the presentation'of this .bill, these truth-loving, immaculate patriots went to work—manufactured documents, and fraudulently circulated (hem under their franks throughout that state. 'In these documents the President was openly charged-with an intention ofraising ( an immense army—of uniting the purse.-and] sword—of aiming directly at the liberties of the people—and in short, of converting this republic ! into * Nero-Ukc despotism, of which he-lutnielf was to be absolute prince. A bold'and reckless I effort was- then, made to carry democratic Yir- ! ginia by storm—by a storm so bold, lowd, and incessant —that the “still, email voice” of truth should not be heard in the uproar. So glaring were the frauds and falsehoods then perpetrated and circulated lo slienate the affections of the people from the present administration, that Mr. Poinsett, in compliance with a call from Mr. Richie. Editor of the Richmond Enquirer, was induced to-give a further exposition of his plan for the organization of the militia.; In to-day's paper we conclude the publication of this able document of the Secretary of War, a careful perusal of which must satisfy every unprejudiced mind of the utter and entire falsity of these base and. most infamous federal charges. In ibis letter, the Secretary of war, lakes a very comprehensive and able view of this subjectpresents the policy ef every succeeding administration in reference to il; and ho candid man can compare his plan, with that of any preceding one suggested, from General Knox's, Secretary under Washington, to that of Mr. Barbour, Secretary under Mr. Adams, without perceiving that it is the most Democratic, and least burdcnsomtKiTany ever proposed; that it has not only the advantage over all others in being cheaper to the government, and less onerou* to the individual—in v being just to all, in paying the private as-well ss the officer, and in making the economy to consist in reducing the number to be trained; but has the advantage over General Harrison’s in particular, in the features, which discriminate a militia force under the stats authority, from a etanding army under the General Government.

As soon as Gen, Howard arrived at Indianapolta he deposited his resignation, as g member of Congress; with,the Secretary of State. . Gen. Howard had obtained leave of absence from Washington city for two weeks. According to. a rule of Congress, no member receives pay when absent on leave, and Gen. Howard drew pa; up to the time when he left, and for no longer a period. The rule of Congress above referred to has been admitted by the Richmond but othqr whig pipers are out in' full blast, complaining,of Geo. Howard receiving eight dollars a day, white electioneering fbr the situation of Governor of Indiana. They dared him to come home and resign, liko Judge Bigger; amt now that he has done so, and they begin to see the thousands of log cabin boys that come out to hear him, they turn their tune into this pitiful ami unfounded abuse. We forgive them for their sinking cause will soon go down. : As citizens of Indiana, we again begin 10 feet proud of our slate; With such men to sustain a Governor as-we saw assembled on Saturday last, Indiana must soon become, in truth, the young Lton of the West.' Under the auspicious name of Howard, victory over temporary embarrassment will soon perch Upon the standard of young and beautiful Indiana. The day will soon come, when all parlies will be proud to lisp the name of‘*Our Howard.”— Conttiluiion.

I will offer for sale at poblicoiijcry, al the firm of the late George Craig. deceased, on the Hirer, four railea below Vevay, In' Switzerland county Indiana, at noon, on the <hj of July 1840, llie following personal properly, belonging to the estate of thei late Jane It. Craig, lb wit;— One large gray Mare, one mule Colt,-one Horae, one yoke ofOxea; also a tot of fit cattle, a lot of Hay and a lot of old Corn, some stock hogt, a lot of pickle pork, and Various other articles for. farming and other purposes, lb tedious to man* tioo. . ■
- From whatever e&ust, or on whatever taibority, statements may be made representing me as having cbaaged my views of the leading measures of the present administration they are unfounded and unjust.—Of the wisdom and importance of these measures, and particularly that which aims at the establishment by Congress of a fiscal agency for the Government without the use or aid of banks, lime and the fullest opportunity for reflection have left not & doubt on my mind. And the ability which Mr. VanBuren has manifested in developing the bearing oflhis great question, and of its antagonist one, on the free institutions of our country, and the firmness he has displayed in holding on to the true interesla of the people when there has been’so much temptation to compromise them, entitle him in my judgement to a rank not inferior to that of Mr. Jefferson or Mr. Madison as a Patriot and Statesman.
The Federalists are raising a hue and cry about the tendency of the Independent Treasury to “reduce the wages of labor.” The Democracy in general deny that it will produce any such effect. But we believe in a great many cases, not one of which however has yet been enumerated in the Federal catalogue, the tendency of the measure will be just such as has been predicted by its enemies to reduce their wages. Let us cite cases - where the Independent Treasury will “reduce wages." It will “reduce the .wages” of the stockholders, directors, presidents, cashiers, tellers, clerks, and ninnerspf the nine hundred banks in the United States, whose wages, drawn from the laboring and producing classes, have enabled them for years to occupy marble palaces for shaving shops, dwell in magnificent mansions, support extravagant carriages and equipments, with* a host of servants, banquet upon the luxuries of (be world, and to loll in-ease and idleness •'. It Will “reduce the wages" of a legion of speculators who have been employing the taxes collected from the people to monopolize the business of the country { and thereby cheat producers and the rest laboring classes out of their just dues.
1 will now try by plain; supple arithmetic to tpake il out, and if you doubt tho correctness ’pf
It, try it for yourselves, one and all. For example, sixteen doHats in silver makes one pound, which divided into 15,000,000 will

And yet the federalists would torture this simple proposition into a suggestion for a standing army of 100,000 men! How often within the past two months, in high places and in low—in speeches and in editorial paragraphs, has the President—who was entirely ignorant of Mr. Poinsett's plan Hill after Its introduction —been denounced for, and charged with’, endeavoring to organizo & standing army!—to get into his possession, uncontrolled by Congress, both the purse and svAsri!—How loudly and virulently his piebald federalism in every form held him up to execration for it, as a Cesar and a Nero! Put this.unmerited abuse of the President is perfectly tfl keeping with tho principles oP the federal party. They are eo BRITISH in feeling that they would willingly place us under the domination of that tyrannical nation, did they possess the power, by their deep-rooted hostility to militia trainings, and by leaving the country in an entirely defenceless state. They oppose the training of the militia; they oppose the fortification of our aea costs and frontiers; they oppose the appropriation of money towards carrying on the Florida war against the Indiana; and are in favor having the inhabitants of that territory cruelly butchered by t relentless wvage foe; in short, they are so anti-American in feeling, ip sentiment and principle, that they oppose every measure which could in any way tend to the perpetuation of this happy Republic, and they have long been aiming in vain to sunder the cords which bind us together as a free people. Old John Adim’s Administration, or as ]t has beenjoatly denominated the reign of terror, was but a shade better than a monarchy: and yet odious, monarchial, tyrannical as it was, it found waym and uncompromising advocates in William Henry Harrison and other leading federalists of the present day. Let us now take a glance at Harrison’e views of tho militia system in 1317. He was at that time a member of Congress from Ohio and chairman of a committee when tho subject of tho militia was agitated in Congress. He then k mado a report, from which wo take tho following extract:— V
With such dpinions of the present Chief Magistrate and of the measures to which be has given his sanction—opinions which. I have never failed to express when I have had occasion to speak on the subject—It is surprising how any one could tike up the idea that my confidence in him had been impaired, or that 1 had become indifferent , at to ths choice to be made at the next election between him and Gen. Harrison. Looking upon the latter gentlemen as the representative of Federal principles in the present contest, and knowing that be has nsVerbeon identified with'ths Republican party in say_ of its great struggles against the influences which have beep calc nisi ed to take power from the people and the states and give it to the General Government, fo suppose that I wouldfor a moment think of giving my support to inch an individual «■ a candidate for the Presidency, would be a mockeqr of alt public principle. In respect to the statements which have been made in several of the newspapers of ths day that I diesgree with many of my political friends in the estimate they have formed ol God. Harrison’s military merits I am not qvf**® of having said any thing to justify them. Having never admired Gen. Harrison as a military man or considered him as possessing the qualities which constitute the commander of to army, 1 have looked at fit's political relations alone in the opinions 1 have formed or expressed respecting fiis pretensions to the Presidency, and the consequences which would result to the country, should the suffrages of the people place him in that high office. 1 am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, .ANDREW JACKSON.
It will “reduce ths wages" of Federal members of Congress, who have heretofore been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, in the shaaa ol loans, to sqstsin that corrupt and blighted British machine-*-* .United States Bank.
It will “reduce the wages’* of the Conservative Jndues, who ceceded from the Democratic ranks for tbs “wages of their litre," in the chaps of besvy Joans for their leaders in Congress, end smalt facilities for their runners in the country. It will "reduce the wages” of your Swartwonts and other Conservative •placing the penalty of felony over their heads, and arresting them, even in a" foreign country, if they attempt to filch a farthing of the people’s money. It will “reduce the wages" of the authors of irredeemable shinplasiers and broken bills, who grow fat upon their impositions, and of brokers who hang in squads about their “dens of iniquity"—because it will tend to purify the paper circulating mediom, by furnishing the people with more of the precious metals, or constitutional currency.
Allowing 40 feet to each wagon and horses, it would form a line about two and a ip length.
Fanners, mechanics, producers, and sit you who have tho future honor, interest pnd prosperity of Indiana, and your children, and children’s children's welfare at heart, only pause, reflect, and ask .yoqrselven candidly, what brought . about such a state of things! And when you go * to the polls on the first Monday in August next, ask of your own conscience, can I, (and do my duty to my country, myself and posterity) vote for any man, or set of men (for state officers,) who had any part or lot in bringing about such an appalling state of ihingsl My word for It, if you so pet and rote, Indiana may yet rise from her own ashes as a Phoenix, and stand in the ranks, which Nature and Nature's Cod has assigned her by her peculiar local advantages.
It will “reduce the wages” of bar room rasters, who are hanging in idleness about your groggeriss, laboring to seduce tie honest and industrious poor from their labor and political principles, to sid the faction who supported them in their indolence and disgraceful employment. In brief.it will "reduce the wages'* ef all who are tiring in indolence, at the expense of honesty, and the industry of the laboring and producing classes. But to pretend that it wilt have a tendency to injure their interest is sheer nonsense. The reverse will be ita whole effect. It will regulate bus] ness, and direct and confine it to its legitimate channel.' It wilt secure’to the producer an equitable and steady remuneration for bis toils, and tq tl\o laborer a fair and permanent reward for his services.
