Terre-Haute, Ind.

THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1835.

We are requested to announce EDWARD A. HANNEGAN, Esq. a candidate for Congress in the Seventh District.

SAMUEL HANNA, Esq. of Fort Wayne, has been appointed, (bj the Governor of Indiana) Canal Fund Commissioner, in place of Wm. C. Linton, deceased.

The loan of 300,000 dollars (for Canal pur poses) has bean effected by the Canal Fund Commissioners, with the HOUSE of PRIME, WARD &

PENNSYLVANIA CONVENTIONS. The Conventions assembled at Harrisburgh on the 4th of March last, by the Van Buren and Anti-Masonic parties, had a quite different result. the Anti-Masons unanimously nominated JOSEPH RITNER for Governor, and then adjourney. In the other Convention, riot, confusionsion, and passion had full play. The friends of GOVERNOR WOLF, and those of Mr. MULENBURGH could agree in no one point, and as some of the counties sent two sets of Delegates (Wolfites and Mughlenburgians - both lovely names!) there was a great contest as to which should be reeeived. After battling for three days, the Convention finally agreed to adjourn till May, in order to allow the Party time to choose new Delegates. The Wolfites, however, notwithstanding the postponement of a nomination, assembled on the evening of the 7th, to the number of 84, and nominated Mr. WOLF for re-election! They also nominated Mr. VAN BURAN for President, and W. C. RIVES of Virginia for Vice

President. Col. JOHNSON appears to be forgotten every where by the Van Burenites, except in the West. The sly rogues arc playing a strong game! We have told the friends of Col. Johnson so again and again.

STAGE FACILITIES.

We are gratified to learn that a tri-weekly email will be carried from this place to Evansville, from and after the first of April. The following letter from Mr. EMISON, the enterprising contractor, conveys this information: VINCENNES, MARCH 2, 1835.

Dear Sir: By a late arrangemeat with the Post Office Department, I shall give you a tri-weekly mail from Evansville to Terre Haute, for and after the first of A-

INDIANA LOAN.

KING, New York. This stock bears an interest of five per cent, per annum, and is redeemable in twenty-five years. A premium of two dollars on each hundred dollars of stock is secured to the State.

NARROW ESCAPE! We find by the National Intelligencer, of the 7th inst., that the Cumberland Road Bill barely escaped the doom of being left with the unfinished business, having passed after twelve o'clock at night! The escape was purely accidental—for which, as a matter of course, no credit should be awarded to the Delegation from this State. As the conductor of a press disposed to give full credit to public men for every honorable exertion, we are constrained to say, that in relation to this bill, our Representatives have been criminally neglectful. The WABASH

BILL was totally lost sight of, there being "none so poor as to do it reverence."

REPUBLICAN & BANNER.

This old established journal, published at Madison, in this State, has passed under the control of Messrs. JAS. H. WALLACE and G. ROBINSON, by whom it will be conducted in future. Messrs. LODGE and PATRICK (the former proprietors) retire on account of ill health, and other causes. That the Republican and Banner will maintain the excellent character which it has heretofore acquired, we have every reason to believe. Mr. WALLACE is well known as a highly intelligent member of the Indiana Legislature, for several years past—and if he brings but a tithe of the industry, capacity, and prudence which has distinguished him heretofore into his new station (and we do not doubt it) the Editorial profession will receive a great accession. With Mr. ROBINSON we have no acquaintance.

WESTERN SPY.

We have neglected, heretofore, to notice the establishment of this paper at Bedford, in Lawrence county. It is published by R. W. THOMPSON, Esq., a young gentlemen of talents and industry, and, like our friend Wallace, at Madison, a member of the late Legislature.

EDITORIAL CONVENTION. The first Monday in May has been selected by the Indianapolis Editors as the time for holding the proposed Editorial Convention: Though a later day would suit us much better, we shall, if Providence permit, be with our brethren. The fact is, we consider it a duty, and believing, as we do, that great good may be done by an united effort of the craft in this State, no slight impediment should interpose to a full and general meeting. We hope to see every establishment in the State represented—presenting a full, fair, and universal expression of the Editorial fraternity. In Ohio, the thing was attempted some two years since, but was a total failure. Shall it be the case her? We hope better things of Indiana—for, depend upon it, not only her Editors, but her citizens at large, have much at stake in this matter. A free, independent, and well sustained press is the best guarantee for public liberty. For one, then, we say, let us all be there.

SAML. EMISON.

Besides the above improvement, we' may expect a line of Stages {semi-weakly) from this point to Lafeyette, ns Roaeville, Rackville, and Crawfordsvillo, in addition to the line already on tho ronte, by Montewuaa, Newport, de-c. A triweekly mail to) Indianapolis is much needed, and, we have some reneon to hope, will be aoon pstabUshed by tho Department.

LIEUT. LINB

The Committee of Congress, appointed on the 271b alt., to investigate the conduct of Lient. JOHN F. LANK, in relation to his assault on JOHN EWINO, Esq., have reported, the details of which we find in the National Intelligencer, of the 10th inst. 8ofar» it appears that the assailant had no motives for his conduct other than those prompted by the debate between Mr. E. and bis father, some weeks since. Not disposed, however, to do any injustice to Lieut. LAKE, we shall await the developements of the Court of Enquiry, ordered by the President of the United States. For the honor of the Army, as well as for the reputation of a young officer, we hope be may be able to offer some apology for his conduct The following Report, offered by Mr. HANNEOAK, of the neighboring District (Chairman of the Committee of Investigation) will be read with interest: *r

Mr. HANKEQAN, fromtHe select committee appointed to investigate and report the facts to the House in the case of an assault upon the Hon.

John

Ewing, a member of the House of Representatives, submitted the following report The select committee to which was referred the investigation of the circum&tances of the assault made by Lieutenant John F. Lane, of the army, on the Hon. John Ewing, a member of this Housr, having had the same under consideration, and given to the mattei all the attention in their power at ths late period of the session, leportthe following facts, which are all that have beeu di»cloced to then in the course of the examination:

This examination, they would in the first place stale, has been conducted throughout in the presence of Lieut. Lane, to whom the privilege was given of cross-examin-ing the witnesses

.arid who was also allowed to introduce

such testimony as he conceived was essential to his defence. It may be well to remark that, after the testimony had been closed on the part of the committee, Lieut Lane gave the committee to understand that he did not feel himself bound to introduce any evidence going to show what his private motives were for the assault upon Mr. Ewing,

The history of the case itself is comprised in a few words, and will be given substantially as disclosed by the witnesses. It appears that on Thursday evening, the 26th ultimo, immediately after the adjournment of the House of Representatives, as Mr. Ewing was passing from the Capitol to his ladgings, he was encountered on the Avenue by Lieutenant Lane, who accosted him, apparently in no unfriendly spirit, and with the simple observation that be wished to speak with him. After a moment's pause, and an intimation fiom Mr. Lane to Mr. Ewing, that his object in seeking him was to punish him (bis hands being in his pockets at the time,) and a retort, couched in wsrra language, from Mr. Ewing, he was struck by Mr. Lane, whilst in the act of returning a bundle of papers to his pocket. The blows were tepeated, and an aflray of some little duration succeeded between them. The instiument with which the first blow was inflicted bv Mr. Lane was an iron cane, covered or wrapped with thread. The wounds inflicted upon Mr. Ewing appear, from the testimony of the attending physician, Dr, Blake, to have been severe. At the moment of separating, and after the conflict was over, Mr. Lane, in the act of returning from the crowd attracted by the occurrence, observed that his object was accomplished that his intention was publicly to degrade Mr. Ewing, and that he had succeeded.

For this assault no caueo is assigned by Lieutenant Lane, nor has he introduced any testimony relative to a personal difficulty orindividnal offence between himself aed Mr. Ewing. The committee have been unable to discover any cause, throughout the investigation, other than that assigned by Mr. Ewing inhi« deposition, and that is, an irritated and unpleasant controversy which oc curied some time back, in the House of Representatives, between the Hon. A. Lane, tho father of Lieutenant Lane, and Mr. Ewing, and which is within the recollec tion ofthe House. The committee haveno other grounds for supposing this to have been the cause of the assault, than toe supposition of Mr. Ewing, and the absence ofall apparant cause besides. No previous difficulty had occurred between the parties, that is known but, upon the contrary, when warned by the HON. William Hendricks of the Senate, against interfciing in the controversy a bove alluded to, between his father and Mr. Ewing. Lieutenant Lane directly disclaimed any such intention or participation in the unpleasant feeling which had been excited.

This brief statement embraces the material facts the committee have been able to collect, the brief time al lowed not permitting them to proceed further and,as but a few hours of the session remain, they have declin ed suggesting any ateps for the consideration and adop tion ofthe House.

The depositions of several witnesses are post poned for want of room* They shall appear in our next.

Welinve nothing to say in reply to the re marks of the People's Advocate," of the 13th instant. If the Editor of that print, believes that injustice has been done to the counties in terestcdin the White Water Canal, we are per fectly willing he should enjoy his opinion undis turbed. For the gratification of the'abused West and North, however, we will remark, that the denunciations of the Advocate are not respond cd to by a single print in the entire East and South. Wishing the Editor a better temper, fresh supply of charitable feeling, and a more general acquaintance with the true interests of the State, we bid him a respectful adieu.

STEAM BOAT INDIAN.

This beautiful new boat was at our landing on Thursday morning last, having come aown irom Lafajette, where she has been weather bound for mere than a month. The Indian" was the first boat at Lafayette (the only one, indeed) this season, and cut her way up through the large masses of ice that obstructed the river. She is a fine sea boat, and every way calculated to ac commodate the wants of the Wubash communi ty. We wish her great success.

THE EXGLISZI STUD BOOK. We refer the reader to an Advertisement in a subsequent column, concerning this work. It is published by J. S. SKINNER, Esq., the Editor of the American Turf Register. The lew price at which it is afforded, should induce Sportsmen in this vicinity to patronise it.

The TURF REGISTER, for March, sustains the character it has heretofore acquired. Price only five dollars per annum.

Mr. GEO. W. MARKLE has been appointed Postmaster at Clinton, Ind. in the place of MILO GOOKINS, resigned.

CONGRESS.

We find by the doings of Congress that the Commerce of fourteen States attracted the at tentien of the National Legislature, and that appropriations of various sums are to be applied to the improvement of internal and sea-board navigation. Maine gets 8,000 dollars Massachusetts 6,500) Connecticut 14,000 Rhode Island 1,000 Maryland 1,500 -Virginia 11,000 Noith Carolina, 10,000 South Carolina 6,000 Ohio 1,000 Louisiana 3,500 Florida, 3,400 Michi gan 3,500 INDIANA—NOTHING! There is at this moment produce to the amonnt of half a million of dollars in the valley of the Wabash kept from a market, for want of the paltry sum •f $30,000 to improve its navigation! Handreds of industrioas, enterprising, and worthy are at this moment the victims of the mistaken policy of our National Executive, and hundreds more moat feel, for the next two years, the no lees shoreless neglect of their badness in the Hoose of Representatives. It is time for the People to take their business into their own bands, and give their Representatives to naSerstand that something also than frothy

declamation is confidence.*

vAViIX

I* TRUE PHILANTHROPY. BEKJ.%*OWN, Esq. of Vassalborougb, Me. ha« generously offered to the Legislature of that State, a site for the establishment of an,Insane Hospital, and a donation of six thousand dollars for the endowment of such an institution. This is an age of generosity. We do not recollect a season when acts of private munificence were so numerous, especially in New England. These Yankees do things in the right way.

"The Senate, instead of acting on the busineu that immediately interested the people, spent its time in hunting up matter, if not to create another excitement equally Joist snd hollow, against the Post Office Department and Executive patronage."

The above precious passage we find in the Lafayette Mercury, of the 19th inst. How can the Editor pronounce the Senate's examination of the "Post Office Department" false and hollow? Did not the political friends of the Postmaster General, in both branches of Congress condemn the manntr in which the affairs of his Department have been conducted? We are really sorry—{we speak in reference to our personal friendship for the man)—to sec the Editor of the Mercury descend to the subterfuge contained in above paragraph. As for the curtailment of Executive patronage, it is a gpod Jackson doctrine, though the friends of Mr. VAN BUKEN may not like it. If the Editor of the Mercury goes in for the spoils—he will surely allow honest Jackson men to stick to their principles. Our friend of the Mercury sustains Gen. Jackson's power—the majority of the Senate, the measures which brought him into office. '{Which is most honest?,,

IMPORTANT FROM FRANCE.? /V The following is an extract from an American gentleman in Paris^ to a member of the House of Representativss, dated

send

PARIS, JAN. 31, 1835.

"I have nothing new here. The Chambers have not •yet acted upon the treaty, nor will they for several 'weeks. 1 have no doubt that they will pay the money, •unless Congress adopt some offensive and impolitic •measnre, which will be insulting to the pride of the na•lion. **I

'ons, which places the question in a forcible jxint of •view. '•A mere suggestion of a suspension of commercial •intercourse was enough to induce the people of France •to urge upon their Deputies a speedy settlement of the

that good

feeling which was cheiished for America

•and Americans, unhappily broken up by the language •of the President, hope Congress have done nothing 'to aggravate the wound inflicted."

Another letter, from a gentleman whose means of information is as great as any one in Paris ...

S ...

••The treaty will be executed. The Ministers feel •themselves stronger. Their journals speak out with •more confidence, and the opposition appear to have exhausted their malice. "A kind word from Congress, expressive of their con•fidence in the honor and justice of France, will soothe •their irritated feelings, snd have a good effect."

The following is apart of a letter from an American gentleman in Paris, last August, published in New York. If the Government had acted upon this suggestion,the money would havo been provided before this time. It is believed that Mr. Livingstoh and Mr. Rives were in favor of the course here recommended: "There is but oneway in which we can get our just 'indemnification, and that is, by passing a law, at the •early part of the next sassion of Congress, authorizing •the President, in the event of a failure to provide for it, 'at the next session of the Chamber, to close all the •ports of the United States against all French importa•tions. This will cause great consternation throughout 'France—we consume one-foui th of their silks, and you •will see such scenes at Lyons as were never seen before. 'If they retaliate by excluding our cotton and tobacco, •they will ruin their Ifcce and calico manufactories, and •loose their monopoly of. tobacco, which you know is •now enjoyed by the Government. We can get our silks •from Italy, and send our tobacco to Holland. The peo•ple of France will bring them to justice. If threatening language is used by our Government, it will be a •pretext for not being coercial. If teprisals are tesorled •to, they will turn their quadruple alliance to account a'gainst us by getting the aid of Great Britain under •French commissions, to harass our commerce."

The following is a copy of a letter from a respectable mercantile house, dated NEW YORK, MARCU 7,1835. "Dear Sir: Our letters to 31st January, from Paris, 'speak of the passage of the bill as almost certain. We 'trust it may so prove, and put an end to the present un•certainty so disastrous to trade. At the request of we send you the address of the manufacturers of

'Lyon to the Deputies, and remain truly, &c."

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

The Reformers have triumphed at the polls in the late elections in Grent Britain and Ireland. They have a clear majority against the Ministry of 130—some ofthe papers say more. The Peel and Wellington Tory Ministry, it is believed, will go out of power soon after the meeting of Parliament. Political Reform is on the wing every where—save in the United States. We continue stationary, if not receding.

HOW THINGS ARE DONE IN IRELAND. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Belfast to his friend in New York.

We have succeeded in returning Mr. M'Cance, after one of the most desperate battles ever fought. Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, Mr. M'Cance was 16 ahead of Lord Chichester, when his legal advisers and committee advised his resignation, there being nothing left to poll but the maimed, the halt, the blind, and even the dying. His Lordship's mother, however, who bad taken unusual interest in the thing, believing that while there was life there was hope, would not consent to any thing but to fighting out to the last man, and the last moment too. She, therefore, single handed and contrary to the wishes and even entreatis of Lord Chichester's committee, set to and fought, as the letter says, like a tiger, and by one means or another, in the course of the after ed the majority to three.

Delaware Canal Company.

63,434 shares stock in the Bank of the U. States,

ternoon, reduc-

ajority to three. This success, produced by her Ladyship's having conveyed to her carriage voters from their sick beds, and some even in a dying state, excited as may well be supposed, the alarm of Mr. M'Cance's committee, who sat up all night on the eve of the last polling day, to devise by some means or other, how to bring up some half dozen voters unpolled. In this we with great trouble succeeded, so as to advance our majority to Six, thus beating Lord Chichester, and Lady Chichester, his mother, to boot. It is quite impossible to describe the excitation at this novel mode of noble canvassing. Had her Ladyship sooner taken the field, she might have won. The numbers at the final close of this hard fought contest were—

The Athens, Ten., Jourual, thus concludes an article on the subject of the next Presidency Speaking of the nomination of HUGH L. WHITE, the Editor says:

"The rubicon is now passed, the time for compromise is gone by. We have brought our candidate fairly into the field, without his counsel or consent, and we would consider it, now little less than treason to aban don him there. We say to all his friends, rally to his standard, and there is no danger. We care not for the number of candidates—the people love virtue, and honor it, wherever found."

A few days ago, Lieut. Barry, son of the P. M. General, and a graduate of the West Point Academy, sent a challenge to the Hon. Wm Cost Johnson, of the House of Representatives, for language spoken in debate upon the Post Office Bill. The words, which stirred up the young officer's superabundant chivalry, are understood to have had reference to the official conduct of his father. We wonder whether he intends to make a church yard of the whole country by drawing a hair-trigger upon every man that questions his father's integrity. If the Postmaster General cannot employ his whiskered brats more advantageously, he had better not have any.—Louis. Journal.

There is every probability of a snug little war betwen Ohio and Michigan. Ohio says, that her commissioner shall run a new boundaiy line between her territory and that of Michigan: and Michigan swears, that they shall not. Ohio has ordered out a military escort to protect the commissioners and Michigan has conferred the rank of military officer upon every citizen of the disputed territory, who is willing to defend her claims by force. Ohio is determined to drive her opponents into Lake Michigan and Michigan is bent on chasing hers into the Ohio river. We shall continue to give, the earliest intelligence from the seat of war.—Ib.

SIR WILLIAM.

'Weisager'ft Sir William

WILL stand the ensuing season at Henderson's Stable (tb« former stand of Kentuckian,) commence ing the 20th of March (instant)' and ending the 10th of July. Sia WILLIAM is a dark bay, with blnclc*

feet, mane, and tail, fifteen hands one inch and a half high,-and in point of beauty and action, has no superior in the State of Indiana. His performances as a race-horse are not nnknowrc" in this vicinity, and to tbe thousands who haro witnessed his various contests in the Wabash conntry, it is unnecessary to say any thing. Even under great disadvantages,SIRWILLIAM never lost his reputation as a genuine descendant ofthe Arohy line, nor can his dsfeat in ther late race with Kentuckian be pas*d to his dis- .. credit. Overweight, which be bad to carry, made a gap of fourteen feet, and he lost the^ raoe. The additional weight which he carried, ought to have made him loose it by twenty times that distance. Mares sent from a distance will have pasture gratis, and every attention paid to their safety, but no liability for acoidents. For particulars, see bills. ft*
