Indiana as she Wns—atnl as she Is.

Boot aud.Shoe Making.

When we first came into Indiana from our native State, (Ohio,) in the year 1834, this State was enjoying all the visible appearance of general prosperity* The currency was stable and sound—money was plenty—produce was high and a demand for all was high, and the poor man was enjoying peace and plenty—TAXES were LOW,In short, every interest in society was in a highly flourishing condition. There was just enough collected from the people, by taxation, to pay the necessary number of officers required to keep,in healthy action the State Government. There was no State debt, her credit was good at home and abroad—she was justly styled “the young giant of the West.” Indiana at the time we are speaking, was on the -high road to wealth, and Iter people fondly imagined; tl>V. they would soon reacli the desired haves of happiness, prosperity and case. Little did they expect that so soon their c>ip of happiness would bo dashed to tho ground. At that time peace and plenty prevailed, tho people, by tho advice of smart whig lawyers, elected a Whig Governor and Lieutcnat Governor. And continued to elect a majority of Whigs to both branches of the Legislature at every session. - Tho Whig party, having got control of the Slate Government, thought they would perpetuate their power* and to this end, after some preliminary surveys,adopted a system of internal improvements; Whig rulers thought the people were not doing well enough and their policy would make every body rich at once. Well, four years have passed by since this happy state of things existed, and what is our present condition! A deep gloom settles upon us, whenever wo think of Indiana as she was, and as sAe if. The currency of tho stale is now deranged, produce very low—the prices of labor of the poor man, arc so low that he is reduced to want —the people ot the State from tho centre to tho circumference are experiencing distress and embarrassment—money is scarce— HIGH TAXATION, to pay a largo additional number of office holders, is all the whigs have done. The Slate credit at homo is destroyed. A largo State debt is fastened upon-the people; and what is more shameful they hive tarnished the fair fame of Indian. Ourwhig rulers have practised the most wanton extravagance, and squandered the people’s money, not .only by thousands but by hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Whig Fund Commissioners parted with upwards of 3,000,000 dollars in the East, on a credit, without taking any security. Afterwards, securities in a SOAR FACTORY, water lots, - wild lands in Florida which , is a raorais swamp, covered with alligators and frogs, internal improvement slocks, and bank stocks all over the Union, She cannot borrow any more money on her credit, and the works ire all stopped. Indiana is considerd a bankrupt Stale.— Is there one lodianlan, that is not indignant of our Whig yulers, for their corrupt mismanagement! And let us all go forward in'favor of reform, to rc-inilate Indiana If-possible AS SHE WAS 1— Woi A ington /a, Repub Kean,

ws Wi:.\TITV WITH THE IXTBRJYAE IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM. We believe it i» only necessary for the people to he fully convinced that Samuel Bigger ts identified with the system of internal improvement; in order to induce them to cast their votes against him. When we reflect upon the condition of the State funr or five years ago—out of debt—prosperous and Iinppy—and compare her condition that, tj what it now it, while borne down and opprr-'cd by that system of internal improvement;? which has blighted the fairest prospects nf th • J Giant of the Wett —that system which hangs like an iuctiAu* upon tho citizens of our d:;ci! happy State. Is it not enough to arouse ns to a aon.of our danger! la Judge Digger identified with fAtj system! Wo answer ho it and we can prove it. But we hope his friends wilt not act eo recklessly a»to deny it. Here it some of the evidence we havo to adduce that he is identified with il:

“Six, 4. Provides for the immediate commencement of the While Water Canal and pledges irrevocably the faith of tho State for its completion. “Sec. 5. .‘That it shall be the duly of said board, when organized, to causo ns eoon as practicable a survey and estimate of the coat of a canal to be made from Lafayette to Covington, a detailed report of which survey and estimate of cost shall be laid before the next General Assembly.' 1 * “Sec. 0. The said'board shall causo to be made during the ensuing summer and fall such surveys and estimates as may bo necessary in order to determine the practicability, and cost of constructing a canal down-the west fork .of White river, towards the junction of the two White rivers, and thence to a suitable point on the Ohio river if found practicable; if not, lathe Wabash, and if it should be deemed practicable to construct said work, the State hereby irrevocably pledges her faith for its commencement and completion. A report of which survey, together with tho estimate of cost and such other matters in relation thereto as they may deem advisable, the'said board shall report to the General Assembly at its session’ next after such surveys shall have been completed. The said board shall causo accurate typographical maps of all the surveys authorized by this act to bo made out and deposited in the office of. the Secretary ofStato.

The Democrats beginning to assist the whigs in calling for . Mr. White, he at last mounted a bench, and stated, that so far at Slate policy was concerned, he had ho disposition to enter into a discusehv.*,; but in regard to national politics he wotiid have been pleased to reply to Mr. H., bat as it was late, (quarter - past 5) and the country people were anxious to get borne, and aa he could not make any kind of a speech in less than three hours, he would postpone it until Saturday.

F. J. GEORGEL, 26tf

And this was tho end of the Iholremcndotis using up which Mr. Howard was to get, poor roan! The whigs felt cheap enough, if rueful faces ate indexes of feelings. And the next time they attempt to play a trick of this kind* with Howard, they had better bo certain they have a game cock to fight against him. .Mr. White may console himsel as Sancho did, “that many go out to shear who return homo shorn.’ 1 : ' Evaanitte Sentinel.

"In-the journal of the House of RcpreaentaIivcf?, of the session of 1934-’5,‘ page CO, Mr. Yaw ter introduced d resolution instructing the foul mince on canals and internal improvements to report'a bill authorizing a loan of one million fjnr hundred thousand dollars,.and pledging the throe per cent, fund for tho payment of the interest thereon, and the faith of the State for the principal, for the commencement of the following railroads to wit: From Evansville to Lafayette, from Lafayette to Michigan City, from Madlson to Indianapolis, from near the falls of the Ohio river to a point of intersection oh tho Madison road, from Lawrenceburgh to Indianapolis, from New Albany to Terre Haute,from Leavenworth to a point of intersection on the New Albany and Terre Haute road, from Cohncrsville to.the county scat of Uuntingtoa couuty. ; For this beautiful batch of railroads, Mr. Bigger, tho ami-internal improvement nbmlnee of the Whig convention (or Governor, gave his warm and decided support. Pago 167, he voted for a, survey of three different canal routs, one of them extending the whole length of tho State. Page 3o:i, Mr. F.vans moved to amend the resolution of Mr.'Yaw ter so as to authorize a loan for internal improvement purposes, without specifying the works. Mr. Navomoved that the resolution and amend inen t be postponed until I ho first Monday in August following, that tho subject might bo laid bcibre tfje people for their examination; Mr. Bigger voted against this motion. The question. then rccu|red on Mr. Evans’ amendment, which was adopted,Mr. B. in the affirmstive.—Page 207 the resolution as amended ' was adopted. Mr. Bigger again in thn affirmative. S|I, Mr, Evans made a report upon Mr. vawicr’a, resolution in which be advocated the immediate commencement of a general system ofiuternai improvement, which was accompanied by a bill with this specious title: A bill No.—, to provide for the Wabash and Erie canal and. for the commencement of a general system of internal; improvements in Indiana. This bill provi* ® p d for the construction of the White Water caand for a survey of a canal route from Munceytowo to the Ohio River, the route on which* thn central canal has since been located, The l ilt provided prospectively for all the works embraced in the present system, and some others. This was the first bill ever introduced into the Legislature for a great system of internal, improvement, and may justly bo regarded as the entering wedgo tb the present system. Page 4150,* Mr. Smith, of Rtpley, moved to commit the bill with .instructions to provide alone for the construction 'of the Wabash and Erie canal which was the true doctrine of that day as well ns this. -But no, tho Wabash and Erie cina j must be made the stool pigeon-by which ibc people were to be gulled into the support of the system,’Hus bill was, however, committed to a select committee, Mr. Bigger voting in the negative. Pago 493, Mr. Smith, of Fayette, introduced, a bill (Xo. 224,) with precisely tho same title as that" introduced by Mr. Evans. Page 417, Mr. Bigger voted in favor of giving the Lawrenccburgh and Indianapolis railroad company authority to borrow on the credit of the State $221,000, which was done and the State received as security wild lands, mostly swamps in the counties of Ripley and Green, at from five to ten dollars per acre, more than three limes their value, and the result must be a grcaYloss to the State, Thccompany, in addition to other outrages, has failed to pay the interest on the loan, and (ho people, oppressed as they are. must be taxed to meet this interest. To Mr. Bigger wc arc indebted for adding this to our already long list of Egyptian plagues. From p. 403 to 410, various amendments wore made to bill (Xo. 101,) which pul it in a shape that did not suit its friends, and there being another bill with the same genera! features before tho House, it was laid upon the table by a vote of its friends,'a thing very common in legislation. Page 459, hill (Xo. Ill,) to provide for the Wabash and Eric canal was reported from the Senate. Page • 501, this bill passed and the title thereof amended by.adding thereto the words “and for other purposes.* 1 This is the bill commonly known as the survey bill, and was the grand forerunner of lltc system of internal improvements. The root of nil evil—the groat Jngornaut which has crushed a young and flourishing State under its iron wheel. Pago 465, Mr. Howel moved the following proviso to tho bill: Provided that tho expenses of the surveys authorized by this act, be paid by the counties through which said surveys eliall be made. This was a reasonable and just proposition. The counties asking surveys could surely afford to pay tho expense, besides it was unjust in the extreme to (ax the counties that neither asked nor expected works of internal improvement for the benefit of those that did, -But Mr. Bigger, true to his purpose of oppressing one portion of the State, for the benefit of the others, voted og.-unet this motion. Page 493, Mr. Bigger voted to authorize a loan of $100,000, for tho commencement of the White Water canal, and $100,000 more to carry into effect tho survey hill.

On Wednesday morning, previous to the arrival of Mr. Howard, a few of the Whig mangers were observed to be exceedingly busy in the execution of some scheme, unknown as they fondly hoped to all but the 'select few,’ but better known than they suspected. Mr. Joseph Little White, the Whig elector for the third district, had cither been sent for or had accidently arrived on Wednesday morning, Tho whig managers immediately conceived the plan to keep hts arrival a secret and ip litvo him mount Howard unawares; as soon as the latter had finished bis speech. For this purpose they hid away Mr. White all the forenoon, and kept as: tkady as possible, while they went about towo urging every man to go and hear Howard—intending of course to surprise them with the gratifying spectacle they had secretly prepared (o use him up. Well, Howard made his speech, and the way ho made the fur fly from the backs of the whig bankers, was a camion to Harrison’s law to flog men and women. .As Howard closed his speech amid thunders of. applause, the denouraent of tho whig plot was manifested r-
