PART

IE*.

From tbe indication* arottnd us, it wonld appear that Partie* must aadergo a great change before the nest Presidential election. The late aenioa of Congress developed tome important feature* of this anticipated reform. -fOn tbe great And absorbing topic of Nullification, especially, Gen. JACKSO* foond bin* «elf deserted by hi* old and leading friend* in both Houses, and supported, with ardor and ability, by a majority of those who had heretofore opposed both his election and Administration. On Mr. Clay's Land Bill, also, a \a large portion of Gen. J's friend! detached themselves from the lead of tbe Execu-

tive, and sustained the great measure against il Which he had fulminated Ml direst displeasure. On the Tariff, also, bis friends could not be. kept in party traces, and, with a patriotism whfeh did them much honor, aided his late rival in quieting the South, and sav-

Jingher from the impending sword of Executive wrath. In the meantime, we hear that leading and influential politicians have made for the fence, and are there snngly perched, i? awaiting the developcment of event*. Pre«- -*, ses which, six months ago, were loud and vo-

iiciferous in praising or denouncing either of H* the Presidential candidates, have become suddenly enlightened, and with a gravity and indecorum at all titnes commendable, have tacked about, and are now resting on their oars, anticipating an auspicious breeze from some point of the political compass. Thus situated, the particular friends of the different aspirants are beginning to move—to tound—to feel public opinion, to clear away the rubbish, and prepare for the campaign.—

.* RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY. A very learned controversy is now going

l?on

between the Rev.

JOHN HUGHES,

tholic church, and the Rev.

of the Ca-

JOBN BRBCKKN-

Vaioos, of the Presbyterian Church, on the relative orthodoxy of the Catholic and Protes tant Faith and worship. For ourselves we must say, having read the numbers so far, we are not very materially enlightened by the learned essays of the belligerents, and much 1 fear it will be the case with others. The same -.'arguments we have heard over aud over— *the same crimination and recrimination— the same denunciation*—the same want of

Christian charity, and the same spirit of hostility to enlighteued and liberal thinking.— Mr.

HUOHBS

is evidently the most learned and

BKKCKENRIDQE

by far the

jODOst satirical and vindictivo. Nothing can spring from this controversy, in our opinion, |ut fresh jealousies and new causes for ill Drill. Both parties will claim a victory, and ill will think precisely as they thought before. Tbe time spent in this

DISGUSTING.

Some of the Eastern prints have again revived theold story concerning Mr. and Mrs, EATON,

Pursers

TIMBRRLAKE, RANDOLPH, &O

& are giving to the world the m'ost disgusting detailsofprivate and matrimonial misfortune Now, this is really infamous, revolting, and utterly disgraceful to those who have any agency in it. It is .positively barbarous, and betokens the complete degeneracy into which tbe public taste has fallon. Major Eaton and his wife are now withdrawn from the public gaze, and should be permitted to have that repose which they voluntarily sought, or, perhaps, which public opinion forced them to seek, in the shades of retirenuifit It is inhuman to pursue Ihein after this sacrifice, and none but hearts totally calloufe could again apply the torture of a public re' ferenoe to their misfortunes. The avidity with which this kind of scandal is picked up and retailed by the newspaper press, is wellcalculated to bring onr public journals into disrepute, and nothing but the Uute. prevailing for such exhibitions has prevented it.— In tbe east, especially, this is peculiarly the case. In the Boston And New York papers —where we should have looked for something better—we find this delicate subject paraded in columns which are sometimes fill ed with religious instruction—temperance lec lures— Bible Society proceedings, &c. &c.— These editors are really guilty of "straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel," and, al so, of bringing tboir every day lectures into great contempt. If we go on in this way, old dames and young belles will have a vast influence in deciding oar elections hereafter, and the family fireside will be invaded by every impertinent political Paul Pry% to see whether our wives and daughter* are as kind and gentle as they shoald be, before the

FROH THE INDIANA JOURNAL.

-WABASH AND ERIE CANAL. In consequence of the interference with the jurisdiction of Ohio, no steps have been taken by the authorities of India na in thesdcction of the canal lands within the limits of Ohio, consisting of an alternate section, five miles in width each side of the route, and extending in length seventy miles beyond the eastern line of Indiana. Recently the Governor of Ohio forwarded to the Governor of Indiana an official copy of the resolutions adopted by the Legislature of Ohio, on this subject, which will be found belowi The question being now settled as regards the ultimate extension of the Canal to the Lake, steps have been taken by the Executive and Canal Commissioners to procure an order frdm the properauthorities atWashington, suspending the sales on the line at the Land Offices in Ohio, until a selection of theJajkhi can be made, they being liable to sale utter the pre-emp-tion law, at private jHes, and at an expected sale thisi jbupner of valuable lands at the rapljfl|npt the Maumee.

Preamble and resolptfotu relating to the Wabash aild Erie Canal. WHEREAS, by an act of Congress approved 2d Murch, 1827, a quantity of laud was granted to the State of Indiana, to^nid snid State in constructing the Wabash and Erie Canal, eqnal to the half of five sections in width, on each side of said Canal route a portion of which Caaal route lies within the State of Ohio, and consequently not withiu the jurisdiction of the State of Indiana. And whereas the opinion is entertained by this General Assembly that the proposed Canal will be beneficial to a large portion of the citizens of Ohio^as well as important to tbe State of Indiana, and to the general interests of the Union and the State of Ohio, should therefore, encourage its construction, so far as can be done consistently with the condition of her finances, but as the State of Ohio has recently incurred a large debt in constructing the Ohio and Miami Canals—the profits of which works have not yet been fully tested: it would, therefore, be inexpedient at this time to decide on a measure of such magnitude as the construction of that part of the Wabash and Erie Canal which lies within the State of Ohio. Therefore,

Resolved, by the General Assembly of Vie State of Ohio, That if the State of Ohio should ultimately decline to receive the lands aforesaid, and also decline to undertake either by herself or by the agency of an incorporated company, the construction and completion of that part of the Wabash and Erie Canal within her limits before the time fixed by the act of Congress for the completion of the caid Canal, she will, on just and equitable term* enable the State of Indiana to avail herself of the benefits of said lands granted a* aforesaid by authorizing her to sell said lands, and to invest the proceeds in the stock of a company to be incorporated by the State of Ohio, and that she will give the State of Indiana notice of her determination on or befo-e the first day of January, 1838, in order to insure tbe completion of said work by the 2d of March, 1847, as is required by the act of Cougress alluded to in tbe preamble.

Resoiredfurtker^ That the State of Indiana is hereby authorized and respectfully invited, to proceed by such agents as she may appoint to select and set apart for the purpose of aiding in the construction of said canal, any, and all lands lying within the limits of Ohio, which may have been granted to the State of Indiana by the act of Congress aforesaid: and to make such previous surveys and such legislative provisions in reference to the subject, as may be necessary thereto, and not inconsistent with the laws of Ohio.

Jtosferf, That the Governor be requested to forward a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions to the Governor of the State of Indiana.

The LondQn papers are almost exclusively occupied with the discussioos in Parliament on the King's speech. Mr. Gobbet has been very loquacious, and has not failed to attempt strengthening his arguments by fact* and assertions relative to this country, and has made some egregious errors: for instance, he declared that Washington signed the Declaration of Independence.

Mr. O'Connell denominated the King's speech a brutal and bloody speech." The debate? are of the most piqvant kind, if indeed a broader and blunter word would not be more expressive.

The London Morning Chronicle, of thfe8th?says: In the House of Lords, last night, Lord King, in moving for an account of the sums paid out of tbe livings held by Ecclesiastical Corporations to the efficient Clergy, took occasion to deal out some very hard blows to the Dignitaries of the Church. After specifying a number of cases in which, notwithstanding the enormous increase in the value of the tithes, the allowances of the officiating ministers by the Deans and Chapters were not more now than they were two hundred years ago—his Lordship contended that this wasa most scandlous abuse, and ought to have been removed long ago. But "experience has proved (said his Lordship) that from the Reformation down to the present time, the protectors of the church had shown themselves more disposed to protect the many abuses of the church, than that a reformation should take place and they had used all their influence and power, as the first estate of the realm holding seats in that house, to prevent reform. It was their duty to see that there were no abuses and if there were—and they had not means to correct them—they ought to apply to Parliament. The King's Speech recommended an equitable distribution of the revenue. He hoped that this equalization would take place he hoped that pluralities would be done away with and he wished in addition, in order that Ecclesiastical persons might not neglect their duties, that they might be confined to their spiritual functions." ,?*

The Bishop of London made a very naive defence of the Church.

S,

When

(said the Right Reverend Father in God) the Noble Lord said that not much had been done, and referred to experience, he seemed to forget that it was only of late years that any expectation had been formed [hear!]— The imperfections of the Church hud only been discovered within a few years before that time, attention had not been directed to the subject,and it was only within a few years that an impetus had been given to the Clergy

The imperfections of the Church have been often pointed out: but it is only of late that the cry has been so general that the Government couJd not avoid taking up the subject.

The same paper says:

4

We have

been led, ratliei prematurely, we own to anticipate the relation in which the two Houses will soon stand towards each other, in order to explain the dis trust naturally entertained by many,of the ability of Ministers to carry such a Bill, regarding the Church of Ireland, as may really satisfy the Catholic population of Ireland.

We were well pleased to find that there was last night a very general feeling in the House, that it was extremely ill-judged to propose the Address in a manner insulting to Mr. O'Connell, and insulting to the people of Ireland, struck at through him.

The speech of Mr. Cobbet last night was iti his happiest style. He lashedMessrs. Stanley and Macaulay,in astrainof sarcasm peculiarly racy. Mr.Macaulay indeed, had afforded him a handle, of which he dexterously availed himself, in attempting to distinguish between the causes of American and Irish resistance. Mr. Cobbett analyzed the Declaration of Independence, drawn up by Jefferson, and certainly showd that the analogy between the cases of Ireland and America were pot sorer mote as Mr. Macaulay had supposed it to be.

The London Courier of the'6th says It is with great regret that we feel it to be our doty to state to our readere that the King's Speech, which we published yesterday, is generally considered to be rcry unsatisfactory not only on account of that which is said, but on account of what is kit unsaid.

With reference to the proceedings of Parliament of the 6th, the mgnt previous, the London Courier says:— Before entering on the question of the night a number of important notic* were given ia tbe Coaanittee. On

Tuesday next Lord Althrop is to move for leave to bring* in a Bill to amend the state of the Irish Church Establishment. vftiotime is therefore lobe tost in putting the country in possession of the intentions of Ministers with regard to the Ctiurch Establishment of Iter land.

On the 14th of this month, Lord Althrop is to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the creation of Corporations in the Towns in which they do not now exist, and for inquiring into the state of the existing Corporations. This is a most important step in the way of regenerating the country. Other measures indicated in the Spcech were announced by his Lordship and Mr. Stanley.

A number of other notices of motions have already been given regarding the Ballot, Triennial Parliaments, the abolition of Slavery, the regulation of Infant labour, the abolition of Vestry Rates in Ireland, the amendment of the Irish Jury System, &c.— Work is, therefore, carved out in abundance for the House.

At the same time, some important changes in the mode of conducting the House were announced.

News had been received at Paris of the very unsettled state of affairs in Spain. The Carlists, it is said, are to make a stand against the Government, so soon as they shall Ijave obtained a sufficient quantity of arms, ammunition, &c. Should Ferdinand resoit to the more liberal system of Government, which, it is said, he has already evinced a strong desire to carry into effect, the revolutionists will stand but little chance.

Paris is in commotion in consequence of duels fought by the friends of the Dnchcss of Beiri and the republicans. Eleven of these duels tpok place within two or three days.

It is said that the French ministry is to be changed.

FROM OALIGNANT'S MESSENGER.

The Government has received the following intelligence from Constantinople of the 5th ult., which shows that the correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette is totally misinformed with regard to Frantfe having taken no part in the affairs of the Porte: ^44 The late Captain Pacha, Halil Pacha, has set out for Alexandria, furnished with full power to conclude an arrangement with Mehemet Ali, and is at the same time the bearer of a firman releasing him from tjie interdiction issued against him by the Sultan. After reiterated communications between the Porte and the French Charge d'Affaires, the latter sent off dispatches to the camp of Ibrnhim Pacha and to Alexandria. The Egyptian aimy has not made any recent movement, but continues to occupy the environs of Ackber."

The Augsburg Gazette of the 1st instant, brings the following important intilligenccof the 28th ult. from Vienna: "According to accounts from Constantinople, which have just been received by express, an armistice for forty da^s has just been concluded between the Egyptians and the Turks.— The ncgociations for the final settlement of the differences are carried on with the utmost ardour by the Representatives of the European Powers.— They have, it is asserted, solemnly protested against any further advance on the part of Ibrahim.' Perfeot tranquility prevailed at Constantinople, and the people anxiously wished for peace. The exchange of Couriers between Paris and Constantinople is exceedingly active."

PORTUGAL.

PORTSMOUTH, FEBRUARY 6.-—This day arrived the Osprey, cutter, Abbinet, master, with wounded and passengers from Oporto. I learn by one of them, that a severe aflair took place on the 24th ult. by a part of the army embarking in boats to attauA^St. John's, and two forts on the llouro. The troopsengaged were 1400 English, TOO French, and three regiments oi Cacadores under Colonel La Place. They were completely successful, driving the Miguelites by the bayonet One of the forts mounted 8 guns. They re tained possessions took some pipes of wine. Pedro's loss is verv great—850 killed and wounded, 15 officers. Colonel Bacon commanded the cavalry. I am grieved to learn that the severely wounded—in fact, those who cannot help themselves—arc left to perish such is the miserable state of the hospital staff.

Pedro's army sufcrs for want of provisions and clotWng. The surf is so OTeat, that two ships are now off fritji provision* and clothing, and have been ur the last week. Captain Davis, who went to joii% is arrived by tbe Osprey.

My informant saw a French ship, with 5,600 bushels wheat, sink off St John's.

The Spartiate, Admiral Sir M. Seymour, will be off in the morning, if possible, as well as tbe China ships and Indiamea.

Tbe Council of Sfimstere has met to decide spoo a very delicate ques* tion. The treasury of Belgium is in socb a state of distress that to think of

asking King Leopold for tbe repay-

ment of the expenses or even of the cam would be a mere mockery Ministers do not dare to ask the French Chambers fin«ily to place this sum to the debt of our treasury, and they are seeking a middle course, which has not .yet been found.,.
