his degradation. During a war of four year?, in this State, with the Democrat conoern at Indianapolis, we have remained unscathed. When a stranger here, we wore assailed by it—after a respite of some eighteen months, it again cast an arrow at us—we replied in our own defence—we charged home on the authors of these unprovoked attacks—we sent them to tho wall, and, we may add, have rendered them contemptible in the estimation both of thoir friends and foes. We have dared

rimerit, either as a man or a politician—to bring a tingle charge which would forfeit for ui the good opinion of our friends, of nny party but they have echoed only the cowardly cry of,4Scurrility!''

To the numerous proprietors and editors of tho Democrat, we plead guilty of having paid them back in their own coin,believing that nothing but pungent truth could reach minds long enured to the most infamous of all moral &. political vices. Tho patronngo extended to us, under the most adverse circumstances, and which continues to increase, has left us a, consolation which Aired and imported editors cannot deprive us of, and has given us a power which shall be used in keeping tho People above tho influence of those arts by which designing demagogues attempt to mislead tliom.^ Our poverty (which the Democrat considers it great crime) has been the theme of all his predecessors, from the 'Knight of the

When our Jirnt difficulty occured with the last named .quire, the man of the "JUxible con" science" was a warm and decided Adams-man, and expressed a holy horror for the principles those who «u»tnined Andriwr Jackson! On election of the "old chief,'* however, bis Mm

has been the al

ternate tool of all the domestic and local factions which have flourished at Indianapolis for the last ten years, all of which have used h.m to execute such menial jobs as would have been rejected by men of consideration and talents. Sucb is the man's doubtful standing, that even the writing Editor has deemed it prudent to withhold his name from tho public, lest, by association, it might suffer in the estimation of honorable men Having launched into Uis present political course, under obligates to support tho Administration right or wrong, (a condition imposed before he ob tamed means to set up at Madison) he, like all renegades, is quite vindictive againit those who continue in the good old path. We recollect the manner in which he thrust himself forward at the late Convention, and, with an effrontry, peculiar to ignorance and impudence combined, had him self placed on an important Committee, to the excluiion of an original, high-minded, and in

Jluential member of the Jackson party! In that convention, we venture to say, there wera not a Josen individuals who did not despise him, and who did not feel that their cause was disgraced by the presence of a man, who, in his own be half, toouldplead, as he did, for a little momenta ry importance. This feeling was universal, was openly indulged, and, had Bolton been alive to any honorable incentive to action, be would not nave braved the contempt of all who witnessed

In the course of his .«".»rk» he referred to the vicissitudes of his own hfe, and the difficulties he had encountered.

It was in a piinting office, »aid Mr. Davis that my mind wss formed. It was there that 1 learned the tance of reading and of thinking. It was there that I ascertained the power of mind over matter and it was from thence that I launched into the world, and commingled in its busy scenes. In all the vicissitudes and changcs whieh 1 hava experienced, whether in prosperity or adversity, it has been my pride and my boast, and it will continue to be, until the latest hour of my **'sl_ ence, that I was educated a mechanic. 1 have olten said it elsewhere, and 1 repeal it here, that in the various classes of society with which it has been u.y lot to a»sociate. I have found no class of men, that, a* a whole, possessed so much intelligence, or so much practical knowledge, as the journeymen printers.

It was in a printing office, too.he said. tliat his political principles were acquired. When the federal Cou«t»tution was undei discussion in the General and slate Conventions. he was woiking at his trade on a daily newspaper. The debates were, of necessity, perused by him. He beheld the struggles of the tories, united with some of the high-toned whigs of the revolution, against another portion of those whigs, who had become alarmed for the safety and independence of the several States. In the aidor of his youthful feelings, he received an unfavorable opinion of that party designated federal, and thus early united his destinv. as a politician, with those who were the advocates of State rights. These impressions have never been eradicated. They never can be. And, he said, be took this opportunity of remarking, that all those who were anxious for the peace.^ freedom and happiness of the country, shonld rally in dtfence of State right*. They were our bulwark, and, when mvaded.tbould be manfully resisted.

Let me not be misunderstood, said Mr. Davis, no man living venerates the Constitution more than 1 do JS'o man is more sincerly attached to the Union of the States. But the powers of the General Government are defined and limited. Let not those limits be transcended, and while our efforts to preserve the Constituuon are unceasing, let tie not be unmindful of the fights and sovereignty of the States: for on their secuntv and per petuity, depend the rights of individuals. Holding toes* sentiments, he asked permision to give as a toast:

These assaults do not assume the form of accusations, for the purity and elevation of McLean's whole career render such expernmenti rather perilous but are conveyed insktilking insinuations or sinister inuendos. This course is most unjust towards the President. General Jackson never made an appointment at once more satisfactory to the people and creditable to himself. His personal attachment to Judge McLean, in his integrity, hare been triumphantly justified by his judiciaj career. These secret foes of Jackson and McLean cannot play this dishonorable game withoutfxposure and disgrace.
