Q3~The Indiana Democrat broadly insinuates that the reason why old Tip carried the State of Indiana is, that there are 38,000 Hooshier adults who can neither rend nor write! Lot the Editor publish the census of each county, and let the fact be tested- The Democrat Editor, before he comes to the conclusion that "ignorance is the parent 6f

VVhiggery I" had better ponder on the 20,000 majority in Massachusetts, the 6,000 in Connecticut, &c. It does not follow altoays that because a man has never conned Webster's Spelling book or studied Cobb's arithmetic, he is therefore unqualified to judge correctly of public affairs, We could name instances, in which, we know, the Editor of the Democrat would agree with us, that unlettered men arc intelligent citizens, in the best acceptation of the torm.

OirT ho bill confirtning to the State of Indiana the land selected ip aid qf completing the Wabash and Erie Canal to Terre-Haute, has passed the Senate of the United States. Senator SMITH and his associate, deserve great credit for their energy and perseverance in procuring the early action of1 that branch of (Jqngfess on |his moat important subject. We hope similar success will attend the exertions pf our Representatives in the oilier House.

The base ingratitude which his allusion to Tcrrt-Haute, (in connexion with Indianapolis and Madison,) indicates, proves how unavailing arc the be?t intentipned effprts to servo, when thrown away upon a political mountebank, whose egotism loads him to think that tho world iyas made for him, when, in truth, ho is, inlol|eptqally and physically, but ft mere atom in tho scale of aentient and physical being.

O^rThe correspondence hetSecretary KORSVTU and Mr. Fox", the British Minister, respecting Alex. McLeod and the steamer Caroline, published ip-day, excited quite a sensation in Congress. The States Riahts *fuen of the South complimented Mr. Forsyth's views as to the relative powers and duties of the General and State Governments, as orthodox and well expressed. His letter is certainly pointed and spirited enough.

FOR THE WABASH roURIIR.

"f.ook on the picture.' deem it not o'enharged There is no trait which might not be employed Yet irue to Nature Ji npym*nM who made This monster when their mistress left off trade,— This female dotr-star of bcr little sky, Where all beneath her influencedroop or die.'' This Wan ungrateful world—^generous spirits are never appreciated—and merit walks through life gpindle thanked, hollow-eyed, and weasan-ftced. None have a greater right to sigh over human unthankfiilness than the cla«« of martyrs, of which Mrs. Chilterltng was a notable member—and the only wonder is that, with so many daily privations and self sacrifices, there should be such an army of these martyrs.

Mrs. Chitterling was a bustling, active little body, with just saiuly hair enough to hide most of her head, when it was all smoothly and judiciously spread out, a pair of sharp grey eyes in constantrestless motion, as if they were seeking the point of a pinched nose, which nose was so finely drawn that it cruelly refused them a resting place upon which to call a halt. Now, while ordinary people could find only time enough to attend to their own business, this indefatigable little creature had abundant opportunity to attend to her own con. cerns snd those of every body else. Siiph a devoted spirit may, in some measure, be attributed to the fact, that she never wasted her leisure hours in reading. Bus sit moping over a book, indeed She, who had so much originality and invention of her own, was above taking aKy interest in the inventions of such common-place devils as authors. Why her whole life was an active embodiment of invention. It is nothing to build ca9tles in the air— any one can do that, but Mrs. Chitterling's structures all her neighbors felt to be of a more substantial character, though somewhat uncomfortable, for those ov«r whose heads lliey were erected.' Truly, with her a little "leaven leavened the whole lump," for out of any fact, however trifling, she would rai9e and bake batch upon which the whole town might feed for a month. That no time or opportunity might be los' she always sewed by the front windows. This was her look out upon the world—the observatory from which she could scan the motion of stars, whose height she could never reach, and her unquiet eyes were in a perpetual state of transition front her sewing to the front street it was first stitch and then a look her head being ever bobbing thus, had given a little stoop to her shouldeta.

Every passer by of her acquaintance was a subject of noble and generous interest. If the individual of either sex wns in that happy condition which permitted to coUrt, or becfturted—to marry or be married, she would even lay her work in her lap, and stretch her neck from one side of the windew to the other, until she ascertained the direction in \yhich he or she was going: if a couple thus situated pa^Pfl hgteobserv^tory tQgethec it was "'a cireaiastanceJIB&nai les Cap says—a glorious circumstance—f^PM a whole volume which all herftHnda should read, without the expense of piftcfiase or subscription. Should a married lady pass by attended by any gentleman but her husband, theje upon-arose many cu*ious and mysterious suggestions—consultation*. &c. particularly if the Wy had not the good fortune to be blessed with grey eyes and a sharp nose, and should she be accompanied by her husband, wh! h^w strange it was that those whoever)- body know divide the house at home should be guilty of the hypocrisy of walking whether peaceably on the streets!

Mra, Chitterling did not confine her attention to any particular class—her philanthropy was too general—her soul too wide—she was too much of

Next to the Legislative business now going on, wMteal amusements, chit chat, and speculations, engross a secondary place. On the 8th our Van Buren friends made their first demonstration since the overwhelming defeat of November. The anniversary of the Battle of N. Orleans w{is made the pretext for this new "charge" along the whole line, and never did any old rusty blunberbus make more havoc of thosa who fired the ill-pro-vided piece. About 300 persons assembled in the Hall, one halt, or more, being Whigs. An individual from Orange county, a member of the House, presided as Chairman, assisted by sundry Vice-Presidents, with Mrssrp. Bolton and Brown of Marion, as Secretaries.— B. Chamberlain, Esq. of Elkhart county, a Senator, being 9 appointed orator, nt a preparatory meeting, mounted the stand, and delivered a lengthy address, consuming about one hour and thirty minutes. I do not think I can properly characterize the manner and ma'terof this address, "without violating lhar proper use of language which 1 desire sh^ld charaateuzo^iy correspondence with you. If violence is argument* assertion fact, or denunciation charity, then, indeed, was the orator argumentative, logical, and chaste. It is trup, I may have heard speeches from some of the stump orators of that party equally coarse and virulent, but never did I hear any gentleman pour forth such torrents of premeditated abuse on the venerable patriot lately exalted to the Chief Magistracy of this Nation. The miserable coinage of the party press—Buch as "certificate hero"—"uldsuperannuated man"—1"embecile"—"standard bearer of federalism"—"the Hartford Convention candidate1'—"the man who retreated from Fort Meigs," &c. &c. were some of the choice epithets bestowed upon the gallant Chief of the West.— The manner of Mr. Chamberlain is peculiar He is a tall, morose, and cate-worn looking man, on whose dark and towering brow a smile would be chilled, if it were possible for such an angel spirit to venture in the latitude of his frozen lace. His words are all measured—uttered with "malice aforethought'?—conned over with the precision of a man who fancied the world looked upon his utterings as the the peculiar offspring oi*some oracle, in whom exists, and from whom must emanate the political law of D-e-m-o-c-r-a-c-y. His speech consisted, mostly, of old newspaper paragraphs from the Globe, Richmond Enquirer, and other' Van Buren fed r'al papera. "inade as good a* new" for the occasion, except thai their threadbare and ^orn-out attempts at wit could hardly raise a'griri in the whole assembly. Like all politicians of his peculiar turn of Ifnind, he sough', to prove too much, and ended his harangue by satisfying his audience that his own political kiuwleuge was as scanty as the borrowed materials of his hnrangue were destitute of truth. His chief effort was to prove that the honest and gallant log cabin bos who supported Harrison were "liartford Convention federalists," tnemics of the last war with Britain, and the associates ol John Henry, of infamous memory

The sage Orator. ty am accountable slip of r- norv, wems to have forgotten that, at the very time to .tyhich he refers, Harrison was on eur Western frqntier, pombatting the savage foea and sustaining that identical war, while Van Buren was skulking in ball-rodms and caucuses—dancing in the one and playing the traitor at the other, if sustaiuing those who "thought the war impolitic" might gain for him or them that harsh appellation. Mr- seemed to think it very hard that the Whigs should claim to be Democrats, or seek to take from the Van Buren party that honored name. The party to which the orator hasaitached himself has be-: come quite sensitive on this subject, but he should be made to understand, by the great "Democracy of Numbers" that the VaqpcsaCip pafty bave no claim to a name which they have so long dishonored. Ijo real Whig should ever allow to them the 'appellation, as they are now in a hopeless minority, brought about by their repeated violations of all the canons of genuine democracy. So Air as lean judge, I fear Mr. Cham* bcrhiin has added no bright spot to bis reputation as a ilician, nor has the temper of bis address been fcalcuto sdtf feienda to his lately overthrown party. .After the Address was 'delivered, Th. J. Henly, Esq. of Clark, o&red a long series of resolutions, setting iotth some of the principles (as he was pleased to say) ol the Van Buren party. They were decirfvdly "savas t'le phrase goes, and, if true, the V.mocratsare

discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mt.

A*, ot the deceased found Its final resting plac^-

Scarcely had the House taken order in this case.wheli jt was shocked by the announcement of the death of the venerable GEORUE Boo*, of Sullivan, a member of that bodv. Your readers, from my former letter, were, no doubt, in a measure prepared for this announcement but his numerous friends here have been hoping alrodSt against hope. On Sunday morning, about 3 o'clock, tne claims of Death were preferred, and tho mortal spirit left its frail tenement to seek its reward at that unerring Tribunal whosedecressarefinal. On Monday morning, when the House met, James G. Read, Esq. of Clark county, rose in his place, and announced th|^ melancholy event in a suitable and impressive manrter, and concluded by submitting sundry resolutions paying tbe customary honors, whicn were unanimously adopted. T. Dowling submitted an additional resolution, directing Col. Johp Flint, the acting Sergennt-at-Arn» of the House, to accompany the remains of Mr. Boon I to his family residence, in Sullivan coantv, as a furiher evidence of the high estimation in which his private virtues and public services are held bv the General Assembly, which resolution was likewise unanimously adopted. To-day, at 10 o'clock both Houses attended" at.the late lodgings of the deceased, and accompanied the remains to White Ri*er Bridge, where it was consigned to the care of the Sergeat-at-Arim. to be delivered to his afflicted family and late constituents, in Sullivan county.

Mr. BOON'S death will be universally regretted, not only by his immediate constituents, but by all who have had the pleasure of bis acquaintance in the Councils ot theState. Few men have served tho public so long, with so much general satisfaction, and none, it may be truly said, ever gimed to do right with such unvarying design. As a legislator, his views wereof the most liberal order, and where "uncle George" gave a vote, it was, seven times in ten. a correct one. Uniformly Kind in his intercourse with his colleagues, Mr. B. enjoyed thees'eem, good will, nnd confidence of those with whom he served. The People of Sullivan, for whom he has so long and so faithfully labored, will never find a man moredevoted to their interests—more worthy of their confidence-r-or more acceptable to the Representatives of the People. The good old man has left the scene of his lorag servics. but the name of Geo. Boon will be long remembered by his numerous acquaintances. and his virtues embalmed in their memory.

The House adjourned this morn«ng over till to-mor-row, on account of Mr. Boon's de ath, and, of course, no legislative synopsis need accompany this letter. Indeed, since my last, nqthing ej a general nature has been done, and shall, therefore, refer you toother matters, which should come under the notice of your readers.

BANK-WRIGHT&Co.

Weareauthoriz^ by thu President of the Cairo Bank, who was in thiscity yesterday, to state, that the Cairo Bank has no connexion, direct or indirect, past or present, w':!t the Banking House of Wright &Co. of London unit they never were agents of the Bank and have never owned one dollar's worth of her stock. The whole of ihe stock of the Cairo Bank is owned in the U. States, and its funds are under the control of the President and Directors of the Company, as they should be.

We understand from another source, that the affairs Of the Cairo City Comport lire not likely to suffer any detriment whatever from the failure oi Wright &. Co., their agency having ceased, and the business be.ng transferred to another house of high standing.

SMELTING OF COPPER.

The smelting of Copper Ore, which heretofore ho# been so often attempted without success, has Been

ed, as we understand, by Capt. J.F.O'Niel, of Mineral Point. By the assistance of an experienced copi smelter, and the construction of anew Furnace on new plan, he has hccome master of the art so far th he can, with one fire, make 1280 pounds of pure Cop

every twenty-four hours. This dn

discovery is but another deveftjpement of their exhaustible resource* of this mining country. Hei*et font, 'his mineral lias been shipped in large quantities t| England and there, s* netted. This has been-attendefl with great expenseSnd jnconvcnience, w'hich will not? be avoided. The process by which the ore is smelted is simpleaiid cheap, especially when we consider the value of tne metal. A pig, or bar, weighing eighty pounds, iarun off in the space of an hour and a half. We were present and saw the operation. The value of the pig Thus made and^hlTlJfO'feeKlsTfr flie d&v"s~Wrbrk amounts to $380. This is much more profitable than the sms! ting of Lead Gmlena Ado.

TO OFFICE SEEK ERS.

The President-elect is said to be much pestered with letters and petitions—which go direct to the fire, ns we learn through a private letter- The Cincinnati Republican says: "We speak advisedly when we assure all applicants for office that thejrclaims will be prejudiced rather than advanced by such a course of conduct. We doubt not the President-elect would especially condemn the practice of any of the present office-holders presuming to solicit a continuance of their places by professing to abnse the present incunjbent under whom they" now hold office. ]Ve know that "applications have been made upou snch grounds.''

TBK LAST JERSEY MURDER.—In rcfcretiqc to the murder of the brother-in-law of Mr. James Jackson, of Peterson, mentioned in Saturday's Sun, we learn that the name ol (he murdered gentleman was R. Rutherford, that he was formerly a merchant at Johnsonburgh. NJ., and that his body was fbund'near Jiigiown, Warren county, N J., Deposited under a coffin where another person hud been buried previously.

MURDER!—A murder of the piost atrocious character, we understand, was committed in the county of Dinwiddie, on Sunday morning last, by Jeremiah Conway, on the person of Edward Lewis, a young man. only about eighteen years of age, who at the time when the murder was committed, resided with Conway's family. The only supposablecaurc assigned for the perpetration of this dreadful act. was jealously, on the part of Conway. He has been committed to the jail of Dinwiddic county, where he awaits his trial.

MURDERS—A man named Ben Gaskell, poisoned his Wife, by adminisieripg to her laif lanum in whiskey, u'nder the pretence of "curing her of ihe tooth-ache, a: Hector, Tompkirs county, rT. Y., a short lime since. He has been committed for irial.

Jfeto Dollars.'-A few Dollars have just been coined st the Mint in Philadelphia with new and very beautiful devices, resembling the latest halves and qua it era. They have sold freely at three per cent, premium, for New Year's Presents. They would command half of one per ccnt. premium fpr exportation and &s tbey qre leas convenient than one dollar bills, they will probably never circulate to any great extent.—N. Y. Jaw. Com-

PROGRESS o?

Tbe Manufacture of spirits in Ireland was leas by three millions, &Ve hundred thousand jrallor.s, in the year ending the 10th of October last, than it was io tbe preceding year, at the same date.

POPULATION IN ENGLAND.--The English papere give an abstract of the Report of the RegistrarGeneral, from which it appears that the population of fcngland and Wales is computed to liave bi*en 15,666,800 on January 1,1839. The population of the United Kingdom was then about 27.267,844. It may now itmount to 21,774,200 persons, comprising 6,080.000 fencible men, aged 20 and under 60. Ireland possesses rather less than one third (32 per cent.l of the entire population. The population of France is about 34 370.001». The report states, that ihe number registered for England & Walesin the year ending June 3d, I&S9. were: Births 480/40, deaths 331,007- marriages 341,683.

As a ronseouence, prices in staple articles have given way during the

laBt

week- A sate

of Hogs from Warren co. was effected yesterday at |3,95 per cwt, but they were a very superior lot, and warranted to average 275 II*. We must then give the range ol Market rates for Hogs much lower, say from $3,62 to 3,75 Lard is dull at 6ic a sale was eflccted at thnt price this morning. Whiskey has also declined. though the supply is not so great as dpring t^e previous week. We nave heard \f a ^ale having beep' made 90 low as 16 cts.'thp gallon: tut this we understand was forced, and the range of prices must be taken at our quotations. Though tne two great sources of supply, the Canal and River, have been closed during the week, and though ^e'stock is not great, Flour has not su taine{l its price but uiisolosing of the river has had the encct of givmg additional firmness to the rates of Groceries in general ai.d Teas not only sustain, bat are held nt an advance on former prices.
