JUDOB WBtTC.

It oonfidcntly assorted that Judge WHITE will be DO nitrated by the Legislature of Virginia, daring it* present session. Virginia owes it to herself— to the cause ef Democracy—to the preservation of Republican principles—to (peak oat on this subject—-to nominate seme honest •ml capable man for the next Presidency. Her recommendation would bate a powerful influence i?ery where. 1 •'rw,BAD. t$t% If rier tthe he ancry di»

Daring angry discnssion between Messrs LSNB, MeC*aTv, and EWINO, in the House of Kepresenta tires, a great deal win said, by each of the,4 intelligence," "patriotism," &e. of the People of Indian. DAVID CROCKETT listened to •II this blarney, for some time, with great patience but finally rose to a point of order.

Sir," said the honest Tennessean, (addressing himself to the Speaker) is«it in order for gentle* men to electioneer on this floor?" A better or a more deserved rebuke could hardly be offered to the hostile efforts of the parties concerned.

Our LtgttUtore adjourned on Monday last, after a rather slormr »«*»itn & one too, which ha* been marked n«ith«i by liberality or justice we speak in reference to the White Water Canal, and the ad valorem syktem of

Taxation. These two subjects, we shall consider in reference to each other. The Eastern and South Eastern portion* of the State, hare always flood forth as the friends of the Norjlh and West, and lent a helping hand in eraiy

time

of need: in the hoar of danger, they were

the flnt to expos* themselves for tbeir defence. When fitbe North and West parU were almost one unbroken wilderness, the £ast and South Eastern parts of our

State generouslr embarked in a great work of Internal linurorement thiough the Northern interior of the State, and for the improvement of the Wabash, happy in tbe thought, that if necessity should require, those farors would be returned with the same generosity and fe good feeling with which they were bestowed.

As a parent, with a kiodness and ffaod will that doe* not exist in other relation*, bestows his wealth and kind office* upon his children, that they may be happy, and ia return, look* for that gratitude, at least, which a common spaniel will not withhold from hi* benefactor *o (be Eastern end South Eastern counties acted and felt towards the nurthern and western counties. But let us examine the return that is made to this kindness: these tsame north and western counties, not satisfied with what 'has been giren tbem already, and more especially, not willing torereire the aid of the Eastern and Southern '^counties, as proffered to thera in kindness, now rise uo with shameless impudeace and peremptorily demands that the Kastern and Southern counties, shall in addi-'-"lion to the land tax, which acts equally upon the greater t- Mparts of the State. p»y a tax upon every acre of imfc." ^prorenicntt, upon erery lodof fence,upon every Barn, -SHOUM, and out-house, upon their Howes, Cattle, Sheep,

Hogs orer one year old. Waggons, and all implements of husbandry, uoon all produce, and if sold, upon the & "ntoney leceived therefor, upon all -noney* at interest, flliMt iflupon all merchandise, and all stocks, 4c., which tax, -Sthose North and Western nwnties, take into their own

AancU. and appropriate to their own benefit. When rewited by the Eastern and South Eastern counties to V.low thera to retain a small portion of this amount for

Works of Internal hnprorement withiifbur section of the State, they are answered bjr the cold shrug of ingratitude, and every manreuvre and trick used to elude and iidefeat their implication. Let an individual take the laaiwe course in regard to his neighbor and benefactor and who would countenance him, or rather who would not discountenance him and cry out against him as destitute ef all lho*e qualities which tender a citizen esti-mablel"-—/'sop's'' Advocate.

It is no part ofonr purpose to examine the po-i-licy or impolicy of the measures denounced and /••advocated in the foregoing article from the "Peo-

Advoeate," published at Centreville, in this State. Our, present design is to calL public attention to this new effort to array one section of -the State against the other—to revive local feel''jngs—in fine, to render Indiana, powerless in the prosecution of those noble designs so fondly ekerished by her most enlightened citizens. That one such individual should be found thus heedlessly disposed to disturb the frnternal feeling of gthe State—to enkindle the jealousy of its distant sections—to fan the dying embers of former rivalry—and that one an Editor, too—is subject of serious regret to us. How much more, then, is this feeling of regret enhanced, when the attempt is made at the expense of truth, in the very teeth of facts, without even the color of justice to sustain it. The "North and West" counties ef Indiana are accused, arraigned, and impeached, of voting a measure into being calculated to oppress and embarrass the Eastern and Southern" counties. The ad valorem bill is meant by the Centreville editor. Has our worthy brother examined the facts—has he examined the yeat and ways—has he really satisfied himself that the record will bear him ont in his sectional warfare 1 We aver that he wrongs the

Western and Northern counties" in the artiele above qnnted—that he errs in his estimate of the agency of the

l*Western

Western and Northern oounties"

in passing what he deems an objectionable bill. Let the ad valorem bill be good or bad, wise or vuwise, neither the credit nor the shame of its passage can be attributed to the members of tbe

and Northern counties,h but to those

from the fq,ur quarters of the State—to the representatives of the People of Indiana, and not to any frmetion of them. We have taken tbe trouble to examine the yeas and nays, to satisfy ourt«ljr, and to correct, with proper feelings of respect, our erring brother in Wayne county. The foots we will state in a few words, hoping that where mistaken views prevail on this subject, they may give plaoe to those more worthy and more just. In the House of Representative®, on tbe passage of the bill, we recognise the names of «i*iee» gentlemen from the "Southern and Eastern oounties," (so mueh wronged, according to the article quoted) recorded in^str of the bill, tnd twenty recorded against it. Does this look much like forcing a bill on the "Eastern and Southern counties?" Does it savor of "ingratitude"—does it, in the mistaken and reprehensible language of the Wayne county editor, entitle this section of'the State to the distinction of possessing "shameless impudence!" We ean tell that editor that he but illy speaks the sentiments of the Eastern and Southern counties" in giving utterance to such language. We kntrw how to discriminhte between the mere sfbullitium ef an enraged politician, and the "NIB deliberations of men who seek to arrive at tfiitb, pot by overstepping propriety and deeoVum, but by Sosely observing the current and tendency of public measures. Tbe sixteen "Eastern and Southern'' members found in tbe support of tbeed Msierm bill may have erred—may not hare snob a perfect acquaintance with the intereets and wishes of those soctioos as the Kdi* tor—but, we venture to say, they were not a whit lost bonest in their support of it than be is in opposition. Even the members from two neighboring ooonties—Rash and Decater—were, aa we understands warm advocates of the moaaore. JMd Messrs WIWJTT, BACK*, aad BETAI*

Hi-

misrepresent tkeir eenstityenlsf-did they exhibit shameless impudence" by a espport of tbe bill 7 We know tbe first and last Muwdgeetlafeen too weB to believe that tbey weald mierepreeent their counties in this or any otber particular. At *11 events, tbe members from tbe West aad North should be ns oharftabljr treated as those from the East and Sonth. Even handed justice is all we ask from tbe EdAar of tbe "People's Advocate."

Having said this muofa concerning tbe ad valorem bill, we must be excused for referiQg briefly to the White Water Caoal subject, about which the Editor appears so sensitive. We know not whether we shall train credit with the editor when we declare, that he cannot be more the friend of that measnre than we are—tbat be ean not feel a greater anxiety on the subject than we do—believing tbat it is a work deeply and vitally connected with the future pride and glory of tbe State. That a good feeling prevails throughout the whole Wabash valley toward the contemplated Whito Water Canal, we well know and it will be difficult for the ayne County ed* itor to make hit readers believe the reverse. Tbe kind feeling so long cherished by a large portion of the people of the White Water country for the interests of this section are not forgotten by our citizens, nor can the ill-jodged remarks of newspaper writers lessen, in any degree, the sacred obligations which they impose. When the time arrives for the real friends of the Canal to act, we take upon ourselves to say to the Editor, that the Wabash interest in the Legislature will not forget

former

obligations, whatever they may

have been—nor will that interest withhold a prompt support of the While Water Canal. We believe that at the next session of the Legiala. _ture efficient measures will be taken to make the beginning of a useful and a judicious system of Internal Improvements-—^when the resources and capabilities of the State will be better understood than they were at the last one—and when, also, we hope to find a mere general spirit of compromite brought into tbe scrvice of the State. If we cannot accomplish every thing at once,let us do in detail that which we would desire to see effected immediately. But, above all things, let not a sectional spirit retard the efforts of those who really wish to see the contemplated works progress—for we predict it will require united action to overcome the obstacles which already lie in their path. Let our friends in the East and South determine to come up to the good work by electing men of enlarged and liberal views to our State Legislature—let them resolve to semi statesmen and not politicians—men who would lov? to see the prosperity of Indiana hotter than the success of their own preconceived opinions'— and we make no doubt that all will yet be well. Tbe Wabash Counties are awake to the importance of this subjcot, and are prepared, we doubt not, to go "as far as he that goes farthest" in accomplishing the high destiny to whioh Indiana aspire*. ^'r

MONSTROUS!

The late outrageous attempt to assassinate the President of the United States, by the maniac Lawrence, is turned to a political account by the presses of the Kitchen Cabinet! An act which every one condemns, and which, if successful, every American citisen would avenge, it is now boldly and unblushingly declared was prompted by the United States Senate, or by certain members of it! That most besotted and infamous of prints, The Olobey aided by a few kindred publications, shamelessly intimate—tJiey dare not openly charge the fact—that the assassin had accomplices in that body! A more wicked and vile attempt has been never made to mislead publio opinion—a greater outrage has never been attempted on the good sense of the People of this country. Even in Indiana, tbe Olobe has copyists—miserable tools, ever ready to adopt any opinions sent them—without the sense to discriminate between a base libel and a political truth! Servile slaves of a gold bought slave— are yon not ashamed? Have you a blush—or are you indeed conscious of your own degradation? To what are you coming—into what vortex will party delusion next lead such miserable, trembling, and degraded creatures? Shame Shame!

PRINTERS OF THE LAWS.

The Lafayette Mercury has been selected as one of the papers through which the Laws of the United States are to be made known to the People of the Indian, during the ensuing year. The Vincennes Sun had tbe job last time—the Editor, of course, made his fortune—and now gives way to one of the faithful up stream. What a fine thing it is to belong to the party in power! The Wabash Courier" was not in favor with tbe Administration—notwithstanding Mr. Ewtiro spoke of it as a paper of extensive circulation.* That unfortunate expression ruined our prospects for obtaining the printing of the laws. "A paper of4extensive circulation,* concluded tbe Secretary of State,

(,«an

RCMOURS.

It is rumored in Washington that AMOS KISDAti will shortly resign bis office (Fourth Auditor) knd establish a newspaper in tbe city of New York, to support Mr. Van Burco.

It is also rumoured tbat Kendall and Blair (of the Globe) have had a quarrel, on some question of domestic policy, which may lead to a breaking up of the Kitchen Cabinet. It is supposed that Amos wi&ed to make too free with BlnirH "spoils."

Another rumour is, that President JACSSOM anxiously desires the election of Jodge Wairx, and that, ere long, bis feelings on this subject will be openly manifested. His old, warm, and efficient friend, no doubt, has the first place in bis affections.

The Washington Glefe publishes several a no* nymoos letters received by tbe President, during tbe last summer, threatening assassination, unless he peiformed certaioed acts therein named. All this is a mere Aim, got up for effeet, and fa disgraceful to the disgraced Editor of tbat prist. Mr*. Jtsjeff, tbe feertem editress of tbe'*P**l IVy," shames Blair lor his unmanly course, and declares tbat she has received similar letters No doubt of it. Tbe heroine, however, would eeorn to parade tbem forth to tbe psblio, to excite either sympathy or party spirit. She is too brave and too independent for tbat—worth a thousand sack old treatcn as Francis P. Blair.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. NILXS, of Baltimore, thus notices the con duct of Indiana in relation to her internal improvement projects, included in (he Bill for borrowing 1,600,000 dollars. The Editor of the Register is not disposed to utter any thing without reflection, a fact which must always add additional valne to his opinions:

We hope that the bill alluded to below will pass. It shews a noble spirit in one of tbe "roiuig liens of the west" worthy of imitation in the ola Jtat** It is the true policy. To say nothing of the utility of tbe works contemplated—the simple introduction and disbursement of so much money for labor in the state, will do more for the improvement of tbe state than the east of its interest and repayment will amount to. Capital and circulation, in new states, are the sinews of wealtheven "borrowed," if sound.

Tbe following extract of a letter from one of the Alabama Senators, in relation tbe resolution nominating Judge White, shows that there is no intention on the part of. the Judge to withdraw from the nomination:

WASHINTON, FEB. 1st, 1835.

As far as I am authorized te speak on the subject to which you allude, (and I-believe I knov? the feelings of Judge White, and many of his active and ardeot supporters)) that hi* name has been brought before the public without any consultation with him, he has had no agency in it, and will have none in causing it to be withdiawn tbe people bave moved in this matter without the aid of politicians bis friends here say, as have the General Assembly of Alabama spoken in terms too plain to be misundeistood, that the nomination of Judge White is to be subject to no convention or oaucus wh«t«*e*L If there be danger of a division in the republican ranks, as some of the forked tongued Van Buren men in disguise try to persaade others to believe, then we say let that other be withdraw'n,- when there will be no danger of the triumph of thepeople's candidate, in a man whose integrity is unimpeached and unimpeachable, whese political conduct has always been uniform and consistent with jute republican principles, and who possesses, as is aciwledeed by all parties, talents or the first order.— it Judge White is at this time the most prominent candidate, and his pi ospects rapidly brighteeifig, none can doubt. A paper, which will be ably edited, is about being established in this city, which will advocate his claims to this distinguished office.

From the Huntsville Advocate.

We will ventute to assure them, however, that they do not mistake Judg-e White: he is not the man to confer office on those who do not deserve it. If he gets the Chief Magistracy, it will be the unbought, the unsolicited, the tree and unpolluted gift of the people, and of course, he will have neither minions nor expectants to pay at the expense of honor and to the detriment of the public service. But he will select his officers from among the ablest and most pure men in the nation, and he will discharge his own high functions with an ability and devotion to his country which have rarely been equalled. Weconceive Judge White has a better established reputation for wisdom and for moral and political purity,and that he is more popular than any who rould.hy continuing the "doubtful strife" with him, pro,du$e .cither division or defeat.

From the Jackson (Tennessee) Truth Tsller. Ilugh L. White. —We have said on a former occasion, tbat if the opportunity was afforded us, our individual suffiage would be given to Hugh L. White. Our reasons can be briefly given. They are—

Because we believe him to be an honest man,

who pre

fers the good of his country to that of a partv. Because we believe him to b$ an enlightened Statesman, sufficiently identified with the south to be a safe guardian of its reasonable rights and interests, but not so ultra sectional in his feelings as to be willing to aggrandize the south at the sacrifice of the rights and interests of the North.

Because we believe his election would restore peace and harmony to the country, bg allaying the present unhappy party excitement—and avert the evil of having a New York President te administer the government, and dispense its patronage among his political partisans.

JUDGE WR?!TE.

This ftentleman is "going ahead." Opinion in the 'e*t, appears nearly unanimous in nis favor so it

South W is said in Georgia and North Carolina. Tenne.«»ee is warming, as appears from the public prints of that State. His friends inV irginia are already numerouo.and increasing every hour. So also it is said, in both Houses of Congress. His friends at Washington hare, we believe, the destiny of the country very much in their hands.— Rich. Whig.

The Nashville Republican, (stout Jactfson paper) declares for Judge White, asserting that*'next to Andrew Jackson, the Judge is foremost in the affections of the people of Tennessee," and that "there is no longer a necessity tbat the Republican party shouM direct their attention to any one man alone, as their Candidate, or surrender personal preference or sectional feeling to insure the election of a Republican President."

Judge White, of Tennessee, is at this moment the most formidable candidate foi the Presidency two years hence. Our preference of all tbe candidates is Judge McLean, but we are next for Judge White, and we believe we shall have to take him. Mr. Van Buren is out of the question, and so is Mr. Webster. We do not say this, becauM we prefer udge McLean or Judge W bite to either of them, although we do jmfer them, but we say it because a close attention to political movements at the West and South has conrinced ns that such is the fact—Concord JV. H. Cour.

He is invited very generally into society, and rives neat pleasure wherever he goes- At his fisrewell beneiu last night, be told the aodienre that he bad found at Washington the crowning of all his hopes, his expectations, and desire, as to the dwweur of the American people—he bad been permitted to meet the great and tbe wise of onr nation—and that on that day be had been paid a compliment be should nerer forget.

The Telegraph stated that the President

There were espect, eren of the Presdeat'e beet iiieada, that did aot recoil with horror from the chaige (if tbe Prasideat really made it) and regret it as too aoasttsw for belief. The National [nielligencir appeaTato aaderstaad from the comments of the Globe, that this atrocious imputation was levelled at Mr. Calboattl Ifil wAiateadedfor ^hitu, there is not an American, be bis politics what they mar, who will not stake his salvatioa apon tbe Impossibility of JobuC.

As an act of justice to Mr. Calhoua, we feel called upon to say that Mr. Calhoun was not tbe person charged by the President with having hired Lawrence to assassinate him. We had hoped that the charge was made iu a moment of ex citement, and that the President would, as the Whig supposes, magnanimously atono for tbe injustice, and we are mortified to learn that this is not the case. The distinguished individual to whom Gen. Jackson owe* a deep debt of gratitude for bis disinterested support on one of tbe most trying occasions, & whose generous friendship has been repaid by the deepest icjurtes, bearing that Gen. Jackson had imputed the assassination to bim, addressed him a respectful letter, desiring tq know from himself, whether it was possible that what be bad beard was true? Instead of magnanimously atoning for the deep injustice, tbe President, has added insult to injury. Thus much we feel oalled ftpon to say. The distinguished individual te whom we referred is not John C.

U.S. Telegraphy

From the Lavrrencebotgh Palladium. The Legislature of this State, we understand, adjourned on Monday last, after a session of 10 weeks—the longest, save, that of 1830-'31, when the laws were revised, over held in the State.

Some very important laws have been passed at this session, which of course required time to mature, and if dono properly will make full amends for the time spent and money expended in enacting tbem. The yd valorem bill is one, which, from its general l:ci»ring on tho people, claims a pre-eminence. Next to this, comes the Wabash and survey bill. The $300,900 loan bill, (if it passed the Senate) may be regarded ns next in importance, though we believe of all others, it has the least to rccoromend it to the sanation of the people. We regard it as little short of a dead loss to the State, nearly equal to the sum borrowed, however it may tickle the cupidity of. those who may have the expending of the money, or advance the political influonce of certain politicians. This bill, as we understand it, proposes to borrow $300,000," pledging the receipts from the 3 per cent, fund for the payment of tbe yearly interest, and apportions it in equal proportions to each county—little and big, all alike—to be expended in some on State Roads in others it is funded and others again it is placed in the treasury, under the control of the commissioners. No concert of notion among the counties is required in the expenditure—each expends it as is thought best, without regard to the others, or the interest of the public. The 3 per cent, expenditure farce is to be enaoted over again on a large scale. A bridge will be partly built here a mud hole filled there—Tom, Dick, and Harry will line their pockets wiih this glorious -$300,000 loan and in the winding up of the affair, when pay day comes, the people will have to make it up in taxes—mark that.

Simultaneous letters, written doubtless by agreement and concert, have made their appearance, in diflerer pers, over the signatures of" K. Boon" oeran," complaining most piteou«ly of the partiality and political hostility of Governor Noble in not forwarding to them the joint resolution* and memorials adopted by the Legislature of Indiana. It is not denied, by either of tbe gentlemen, that the resolutions and memorial* have been duly received and laid before Congress, so that no loss can have been sustained by the people in relation to the subject matter of complaint with those gentlemen. Mr. Boon says that one copj was addressed to

erentpa-

E. A. Han

Messrs. Carr, Ewrng, and Boon." Well what more than that was in fact necessary in order to promote the views of the Legislature. We learn that it has been the practice of the Governor's Private Secretary, under the direction of the Governor, to forward some of the copies (as many as possible) by the first mail after their approval, in order that they might be promptly laid before Congress. In the haste with which they have been forwarded to Congress, and not having time to send at the same time to copy to each member of the two branches, the Private Secretary of the Governor has sometimes addressed one copy to two or three of the members, as in the case referred to by Mr. Boon, not supposing it made much difference which of them might be first named, We understand that copies of resolutions have been forwarded to Mr. Hannegan. Whose fault it is that they hare not been received by him we are unable to say. Both of the gentlemen attribute the failure or neglect alluded to the hostility of Governoi-Noble. Now really it would seem to us th»t this Would be a very small way of manifesting hostility, and as men are prone to suppose their adversaries governed by like feelings by which they themselves would undar similar circumstances be actuated, it is rather surprising that such apparently high'toned and dignified gentlemen should attarh so much importance to so small a matter. What may be the feeling of Gov. Noble towards those gentlemen we know not, but it would seem, by their own shewing, that they do not regard themselrcs as baring a claim to his respect We believe Gor. Noble is very far above the feelings attributed to him, and that in the discharge of his public duties he suffers reither private feelings nor party predelictions to influence his conduct so as in the slightest degree to affect injuriously the public welfare.—Indiana Journal.

Picture.—The New York Evening Post, a Jackson paper, after a long acquaintance with the New York Regency and Safety Bank managers, has set himself down to make a sketch of their character and doings. He must know them well, and as be draws to admiration, we subjoin the sketch:

They area set of creeping, designing, dissembling, creatures, who have grown fat on the drippings of unclean bank legislation—a knot of cat-paced, sly-faced, cringing, artful, busy fellows, who go about the memof the legislature, smiling and bowing and shaking ds with all they meet, and disclosing their schemes in broken whispers, eked out with knowing- shrugs and nods—they are men who strive to tuin all political questions intoa lever to raise up and set in motion their own nasty ,*elb«h projects. Of this cabal,we believe the STATE PRINTER to be lha soul and centre, and we leare to him the enviable task of namiog his associates."
