IgtuUof his adoption better than a part/ which anoually does it wrong. The puny whispers of 4iscouteut, heretofore uttered on the floor of both Bouses, are now oiode audible—the rtal sentiluetiU of the people of Indiana are spokea forth a voice which, we feel mre, will be echoed b-tck from ttrtrj bntnlct, villuge, and town in «nr young and prosperous Stale. The time bos gone by when public meo could longer trifle with tbe ri-hts of the Wabnsh People—when they eeeld lull them i«» ropose by professing attachibent to their interests, while, in fact, they gave support to men for high public trusts who contih•e to oppofe every plan for the itoprovement of C«r country. Is it not time for such charlataoisai to end I» it not high time for such humbuggery to ceaie? Is it not a shame that a few •Jtallow-headed politicians could so longdecejvr a people who detc»t every »pecie« of double deal

During the Administratioa of John Q,. Adam* Indiana got ••mething—her canal land* —tbe beginning of a great work of Internal Imp*ivemeat—for which the paid nothing. Since Sen. Jackson's Administration commenced, what ha* she received! What benefit* have fe.*n eonferrcd? What justice dispensed? A families have been provided with office— •ewe dosen brawlers hare been received into fa-

vor—in many caaea »o worthlcaa and unfit for

pablie employment that a year or two numbered tbeir official eiiitence. This i« the »um tot%l of tontjit c»nf«»rred on Indiana!—nnd how valuable k«* it beeni for the benefit of the People—of the State—nothing baa been done—ab»olutely nothing! The Appropriation for the National

Road are made at a matter of course, (in accordance with the compact for our *dmi»»ion into the Union,) and it no favor, beeauae in pursuance of previous agreement. The enlightened ®epreaentative» of twenty-fnur Stutea, after aiirveyingthe juatioe of our demand for air appropriation for the Wabaih River, «o fur conceded •«r Hghta aa to appropriati 120,000 dollura for ita improvement. Men bearing* wfth them tk« voice of the I'eoplc—elected ainco the preeeat wai chosen—thought it expedient •nd jnat to pocond tbe views of our Delegation ia relation to the commercial channel »f the Wabash Well, the President vetoed it, not only •ace, but ticiet, and here the matter rests for the present. 'Io u*e the language of Gen. Tipton,

wVVhat

the president has done, he has done—it will go down to posterity ami form his political •Itaraeter,'' Gen, Jackson will not be a candidate again, and, so far as he is concerned, it i* just to m« no reproaches. Let him retire in peace "with his bluahing honors thick upon him"— let the People of Indian* have a care for the future. They will have to chooae a successor— *ne iuwhom they can confide—and if they prove aatrue lOrthemselves, the patrotism and public ^"•pifitof their Delegation in Congress will be of avail.

Now building, six.sbipt of the line and seven frigates. Iu ordinary, five shipi of the line, two frigates aad^ln sloops of war.

In CMnoiission, one ship of the line, four frigates, eight sloops of war and six schooners.

out of order $-2,889,640 will be required In addition to these.it appears that wo may commence the building of five ships of the line eleven frigates, seven sloops of war and two "schooners!

coast have been delayed by the transfer of that duty to the navy department and asks an appropriation of $30,000 for its prosecution it states that the experiments on the safety of steam engines directed by Congress have not been made, and mentions that the sciteof the Nnval Asylum in this ponnty has been coded to the General Government, by Pennsylvania

The report is an ordinary performane#, containing nothing worthy ol remark or praise, and written in a style that would neither have distinguished nor disgraced any of the clerks in bhe Department

Hugh Lateton Whit*, now a Senator in Congr from Tennessee, is seriously spoken of as a candidate for the next Piesidency. Mr. White i» a good manable man—and an honest man. He would, we doubt aol, make an excellent Pi esidsnt.

We invite tha attention of our readeis to an excellent article from the Aalional Intelligencer on this subject.

I'lIBLIC MKUIiiMV.

Pursuant to a public notice inserted in the Wabash Courier, of the 25lh inst., a highly respectable portion of the citizens of the county of Vigo assembled at the Court Mouse of said county, on Iheeveuing nf the 27th Dec. 1834, to tnke into consideration the propriety of adopting some measures in regard to the extension of th YYahnsh and Erie Canal, to the Ohio river, as woll us the establishment of liberal system of Internal Improvement* throughout the state

On motion, Lucius H. SCOTT, Esq. was called to tho Chair, and CiuaLx* T. NOBLE appoiuted •Secretary.

The objects of the meeting being stated by the chair, the following preamble and resolutions were proposed and unanimously adopted:

Whereas, all experience ha* attested that the construction of permanent works of Internal Improvement, calculated to facilitate commercial intercourse, constitutes a permanent feature in the policy of every intelligent people, and that I the subject hus became ona of interest and solici-

tudo in proportion us its importance hus bocn felt or appreciated—nnd whereas, the geographi cal situation and topography of the State of Indiana indicates the necessity and invites as strongly the adoption of a judicious place of public improvements as these of any other State in the Union—and whereas, Canals are now regarded as the most safe, economical, and where pructicuble, the most desirable modes of conveyance for property of every kind, and especially for heavy commodities—uud whereus, the luutls ceded by the General Government to thia state in aid of tbe Wabash and Erin Canal nre estimated at a sum about equal to the cost of that work, thereby adding without any expense a valuable public improvement to a state possessed of resources of no ordinary character—and whereas, the Canal alluded to, cannot, however valuable to the immediate vicinity of ita lo cation, prove of much importance us a source of revenue to the state without being extended to the Ohio river—and whereus, any scbemo of Ca ttal tinptovement under the putronage of the State, to succeed or to deaerve success, should be comprehensive, embracing as far as practicable the local interest* of nil, thereby benefitting as fnr as may be, and commanding the staady support of tho whole people of the State:

Thtrefore, Resolved, As the opinion of thia meeting. That it i* expedient, at this time, to lay the foundation of a liberal ty*tem of Internal Improvements—that the extension of the Wa bash and Erie CAnal to some point on the Ohio river.tO'wit: Evansville or Mount Vernon—the construction of a Canal from sotoe point OQ While river above Indianapolis to its mouth, or to intersect tbe Wabash and Erie Canal, and the construction of a Canal C(£AJ&c mouth of Nettle Creelr, along the White Water Valley, to tbe Ohio river, would constitute a scheme of State improvetaents, promising tbe most auspicious results to the interests of Indiana, and alike worthy the enterprise and energy of a free and enligbtened people.

Resolved, That our Senator and Representative in tbe Legislature be requested to exert tbeir influence to procure, at as early a day aa possible, surveys to be made, ami tbe adoption of such preliminary measures as Ibej may deem expedient, to effeot tbe objects contemplated by this meetingiZfto/red, Tbat copies of tbe proceedings of this meeting be forwarded by the Secretary to oar Senator and Kepresentative in tbe Legislature.

Rembed. That tbe different counties throogb»«t tbe State, feeling an interest in the eatablitbasent of A general system of Internal Iotpravemet^s bs requested to co-operate io promoting tbe same.

Re*ei**d, That tbe. imadi^taf this meeting be publisbail in thn ^basb Conrier, and tbat nil editors in tbis State be respectfully requested to give tbeas a place in tbeir respective papers,

HOUbE OF REPRL'SENTATIVES.

Mr. Ray stcted the reason why the committee had thought proper to take this course that the committee' desired the positive action of the House in relation to a chnitge in the mode of transacting probate husiness. He said the opinion of the House could JSS Well be teited oil the adoption of art imperative resolution as if a bill were reported. unJ the labor and trtubl#of preparing a bill be avoided.

Mr. Vawter moved to strike out so«ntttdi thereof as provides for three trims of the Circuit Court per year. On this motion as well as upon the si|hject ol the resulu tion generally an animated and able debate took place, in which many gentlemen participated.

Mr. Smith of R. moved th^t the fui ther consideration of the resolution be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Thompson moved to lay it vn the table which was determined in the negative.

The question then recurring on ltje motion to postpone indefinitely it was determined in tbe negative by the following vote:

Baltimore, Marylaad. aged ara ywrs and seven nonthiS'^rBuringa coanexioa of five ytnrswijh theaewsjmpei pressof Indiana, it has never fallen to oar Ut to rssard a more distressing dispeasatioft of Diviae Providfcnoe than the present. Tbe day usually devoted te the eoas* memoralioa of a ihrice-ballowed eve^t waste the distressed parents of the deceased—nay, we-Way add, witboai exaggeratiotn, to this whole cooiiuoaity—a Jay Af woe and aiUiction. The accWcntal discharge of a g»a in,

tbe hands of a lad somewhat older than tbe deceased,: did the office of dratb. after a few hours of intense suffering and pain. Mere than thirty grains of shot eatered the head and face of the little Sttffarer, disfiguring

him in a most shotting manner, and leaving ne hope, even for .an instant, of his recovery frum the doom which

was but too evident to all. In whatever light we view this stioke of Divina Providence, it cotncs home to us with more than ordinary re

gret. The mannei of the accident—the day and its f'l* jivities—and the interesting subject of the disaster, a well calculated to move tbe feelings and touch the sympathies of th*-beart. A more interesting snd promising tad we have never known one who, bad bis. life beea spared, would doubtless prove a blessing to his parents and friends. Added to alt these considerations, bis worthy father had just accepted aa invitation from the citi

zens of this place, to become a resident among them, aad had but the other day commenced his ministerial labors, wheu he is thus early called to meUrn in a laad of strangers. At tbe verv moment when he had commenced aanouncing the "glad tidings of greet joy" to attentive and

listening congregations, he is himself called te driuk at the bitter fountains of sorrow—to taste those wateis which are mere or less the poition of us all,——but which, so far, a kind Providence has vouchsafed to avert from many less worthy of His favor. How inscrutable aad mysterious are the weys snd decrees of the good Being, and with what humility should we all bow to His righteous judgments! One of His servants it thus called te deplore the loss of a promising child, while performing a mission of religious benevolence, separated from olj friends—from kindred, and those early seenes which gives to nlaturerage its greatest chaim. It was a gieet sacrifice thus to expatiiate one's self from therpleaaures

of long established friendship—bet much greater has been thaloss which has followed the generous sacrifice! If, however, there be consolatioo in heman sympathy—

if there ha a link between feeling hesrta—between the sorrow-slrickea and those who "can feel for another's woes"—then,indeed, hat our aHiieted friend somecoasolation left in this the hour of his bereavement.
