The only issue ever made dnring the short time employed in canvawirig the State, was in regard to the rucccttorthip—iHe next Presilien cy. On every occasion, when Govertior Nobh: addressed the People, he declared his uncompromising hotU'iily io the election of Martin an Buren to the next Pretidgncy. Gov. Noble's, opponent (Judge READ) being nominated by a convention assembkwMn obedience to orders from a few office-holder* at Indianapolis, was considered, to all intents and purposes, the Van Buren candidate and, a* such, was most signally defeated. So far, and so far only, can webear out the assertion, oft reputed and nntrue, that Indiana has abandoned the support of Gen. Jaccaoit. The fact may be so, but evidence most be adduced other than theaocoess of Gov. NOBLK at the late election. lie received thousands of votes from those who prefer Col. R. M. Joaaao* for the next Presidency, many of whom continue warm Jackson men because, as between Col.

Johnson and Mr. Van Baren,Gov. N. watf kn*wn to preCsr th»former, which, to our knowledge, he has repeatedly expressed^ If the late election proves any thing, it may be taken, therefore, as pretty conclusive evidence that Mr. Van Biiren is weak and unpopular in Indiana—that the friends of the Administration here have but little confidence iA^is principles—that he will run, if a candidate,'ttr behind the Jack*on strength— and, finally,:*lhat his success in this State cannot be deemed probnble. We think this the only fair deduction to be drawn from tbo premises,, I.

It is idle, we know, at this time, to speculate on the chaftdfes of succcss possessed by the many candidates named and we only mention the opinions entertained, in reference to Gov. Noble's election, (as connected with the Presidency,) for the purpose of undeceiving thojo who consider it as a test against the Administration. Unfortunately, there is too great a disposition, in this day of dark political morals, to misrepresent even the smallest circumstance—and, in this case, no good can result from it,. Whether the Whig party succeeds in giving the vote of Indiana to an jjidividual of its own principles, will depend, v«ry essentially, on the man selected as its candidate. The opponents of the existing Administration, as a body, have the power, in numerical numbers, to elect some able, moderate, and honest public man, provided a direct vote could be cast, without the intervention of elccturs—and,so far as Indiana is concerned, a decided majority of the People, we believe, would be fbund nrrayed against the favorite of the of-fire-holders, should a moderate nnd able man be selected on the part of those who oppose the introduction of caucus management into our tslective systcm. The reflecting of all parties deprecate and deplore the party mndnessof the times, and would willingly make any lacrifice, comisUtit with their duty as freemen, to ensure a return of that era of good feeling,'' so long a nnr ltttxl-

Any attempt to imposft o/tf party leaders, or thoae who have heretofore ran their race, would prove as vain it would be mortifying to the feelings of their friends,, If we expect, and would deserve victory—if we desire, for the sake of the country, to tee the Governmeut in the hands of a Statesman and not in the custody of a mere political trader—let ns lay aside a little ol that party bias which we all possess, and meet the moderate of the other party half way—evidencing sincerity, and that honesty of purpose which men engaged in righteous cause should exhibit aud receive. Foroarself, yonng ns we are, and humble as has been our part in politics, we have learned to distrust many of those who have taken a leading part in the destiny of the Whigs. Accustomed to look at things oh the bright tide of the picture—to dare hope for tuccett without the manly independence to deserve it—many of them have remained at an immeasurable distance from the People—wrapped up in the mantle of antiquated principles, unsuited to the march of liberal opinion. Such men also abound in the ranks of our opponents but they are studiously kept in the back ground, and tho' they counsel and direct, their agency is cautiously concealed by the masks of well-organised politicians. While the Whigs content to m.tke suck men prominent, to long will the young, ardent, and active of their own party look upon them with distruit. We venerate age—we honor many of those whom the fortune of political war hat consigned to private life—-we rely on the honesty of numbers who have heretofore belonged to the Old Federal Party—but we can never consent to receive them at the Nestor of our political council. Tbit feeling in the West, and especially in Indiana, among the Editorial corps, it feat spreading. If tho co-operation of large body of citizens »n the West be considered by our Whig brethren at the North of any advantage to tho general cause, it might be well to consult tbit feeling. The time hat gone by when tb«rDemocratic Whigs of the young West could be brought to support arty individual chosen by the North, or when they would abandon their claim to a voice In the selection to be made. In the ranks of the Whig party we have great andgwxf men—the CAMIOOKS,the Loons, the BAtaocae—while many moderate and tolcmut individuals, heretofore attached to the Administration, are equally worthy our support. R. M. Johwsok (tbe veteran in the field and in the council) JOHN MCLKAK, formerly Postmaster General Lewis CASS, the present Secretary of War—deserve, and would receive,no doubt, tbe tspparl of the great body of the Whigs. Of the individuals named, oar choice has been atoM than oaoe deliberately avowed. Give at the Man whose public Mfe exhibits the beet qaanantee that no spirit of revenge swaya his conduct—the man whose heart, through all the heated contests of party, h«* preserved the kind eat feeKafs for bis politic*! opponente—and whose disregard of perty tramawls, when not in conflict with stttUd primxipl**, is antversally proverbial.

It appears from the calculation of the Commissioners, appointed by the State of Indinna and Illinois, that $10,000 will be sufficient to remove all the principal obstructions from the Grand Rapids, three miles above this town, and two miles above the mouth of White river, to its confluence with the Ohio, so as to make an uniform channel of three feet at low water mark, a depth of water amply sufficient to enable Steamboats of an ordinary size, at all times, to ascend and descend with facility and safety, when the same can be done on the tilfio. Thi« state of things is truly gratifying to the well wisher of the West. IIow encouraging the thought! thut at length, the all-important work has commenced, and that too, under such favorable auspices and can with the greatest oase nnd expedition, be accomplished. Deducting $10,000 from $24,000, the money now appropriated, leaves a balance of $14,000 on hand, to which there needs but a small additional appropriation to render it navigable, for the purposes of trade, and a source of wealth to the adjacent States. Why should we longe®act ngaiust light and reason? why longer resist our own interest? why put a veto on the herculean arm of steam, and prevent it coming to our aid, when it is iound in triumphant operation, not only on the high seas, but upon waters far inferior to the Wu'a«h, in all parts

Balloons.— On Saturday afternoon,Mr. Parker made a splendid asccnsion from Washington city. A cloudless sky favored the spectacle, of which many thousands were witnesses. The wind had been high during the day, but had moderated before the ascension, though still blowing from tne northwest, carrying the balloon off, at a great height, but in full view, in a direction a little east of south, lie landed at St. Mnry's county,in Maryland, hnving been carried by the wind to the prodigious distance of eighty miles in seventy minutes!

The national debt of Spain is equal, in round numbers, to 160 millions sterling and, if the arrears of interest accrued since the year 1823, nnd the various loans made since thut time, be added to the account, the present debt of Spain, foreign and domestic, cannot be estimated at so little at 300 millions sterling.

From the St. Louis Republican, of Nov. 18. INDIAN MURDERS, AND PROBABLY WAR. The steamboat Warriot arrived at this port on Saturday from Prairie du Chein. We are sorry to learn—as we do by her—that the Indians in that region have been engaged in hostile act*, and that they portend a serious termination. A short time since, a party of the Sags and Foxes attacked a party, or lodge, of the Menominee* upon Grant River, and killed three person*. The murderers were, however, (it was ascertained at Rock Inland,) delivered up by Keofcuc, to a detachment of U. S. soldie.-*, under command of Capt. They were put on board of the steamboat Winnebago, then ascending the Mississippi, for the purpose of being taken to a proper place foi trial.

On the day previous to the arrival of the Warrior at Prairie du Chein, another massacre took place by a party of the sSme tiibe of Indians. On an island about 3 miles above the Prairie,a lodge of Winnebagoes waset tablished. It WM occupied at the time by women and children only the warriors being absent on a hunting excursion. Suddenly, tbe Sac and Fox party made their appearance before the lodge, fired into, tomahawked, and scalped tea of the inmates. But one of the Sar warriors lost his life, and that wasbv the hand of a Winne bago boy, about fifteen years of age. The youth was standing at the door of the lodjce, between a younger brother aad sister, when two of the warriors made their appearance and fired upon them. Recollecting, in*tant It, that an Old gun remained in the lodge, loaded, he pro cared it. and waited tbe return of the foe. who had retreated for the put pose of re-loading their rua* As saon as thev appeared before Trim, he towk deliberate aim at one of them, fired, aad the bollei west through the heart of his enemv.
