PUBLIC PRINTERS.

Wo regret to see that our friends of the Indiana Journal take their defeat, as candidates for the Legislative Printing of this State, so much to heart. The majority by which the choice was made, on thc first ballot, precludes the possibility of corrupt collusion, unless, indeed, the present Legislature is composed of men ns profligate as those who signalized themselves by tli« famous Yazoo conspiracy in that of Georgia, in times past. Our worthy friends chargc, in direct terms, that their defeat was effected by a union of the Wabash,

Whito Water, and Van Buren interests, and that they were "summarily thrust asido to make room for /hose "who hnvo not proved themselves more faith/nl and "EFFICIENT, more devoted and unflinching, more "lewilous and untiring laborers in the cause of patriotism and tho People, than we!" And again, they say: 'Tis true wi do not, nor doe* awy MU5, consider the "c&nm* of the successful candidates equal to our*. Now, this thing of candidates placing themselves in the judgment sent« of the People's Representatives, and undertaking to say not olily that they are more "efticietu" and more deserving than their cotcmpornrics but {that no one considers the claims of the successful candidates evuol to their's," is, to say the leadt of it, neither modest nor becoming and we think that,on more mature reflection, friend

Now, all this complaining, and thistalkahout ''claims," is in bad taste as is tho charge that those who votod for DOWUNS VT C01.E are "narrow-minded and ungrateful, and only suited for pot-house politicians and petty and intriguing ambition," in a very bad spirit. The truth is, the writer of this set up no "claims" other than that founded upon his knowledge of the Printing Business, derived from opportunities, at the seat ofthe General Government, of Iteming its practical details as an Ap prentice, Journeyman, a Proof Reader, and Foreman, of the Congress Printing. In becoming a candidate, hto had not the most distant idea of interfering with the just "claims" of any of his cotemporaries and has the proud consolation to know that, if such "claims^ were undervalued and his own qualifications exagg&ated, he, at least, is free from the imputation of having produced such impressions on the minds of the members. We took no underhoida in the contest and Neither attempted to secure votes by underbidding, or by tensing members into our support by appeals to their sympathies^ their avarica, or their ambittot). If. under tlirae circumstances, our friend Cole and ourself have been elected over our respected competitors, what just cause can they have to repine at tho result, whether the votes by which they wore defeated came from the

Oi"The Legislature of this Stale have reduced the price of Pnblic Printing 33 per cent., and we notioe that one branch of the Illinois Legislature h*s paraed a law making a similar reduction. Some years ago. Gov. RAT vetoed a bill bedkose it fixed the price,of the Public Printing at a higher price than a firm offered to do it. upon which JOHN DDMONT moved to "farm out" the office of Governor to the "lowest bidder," assuring the Senate there woulj be no scarcity of undertakers, aud of persons equally competent to serve the public at reduced rates of compensation. This niggardly economy has a bad effect on the public interest for, in printing as in preaching, it is "poor pay—poor preach nnd, instead of justifying liberal preparations to execute the public work, it drives the Printer into the utmost economy in the quantity and quality of bis materials. The craft are themselves to blame,and not the Legislature for when ting' attempt to rat themselves into office by underbidding each other, the uninitiated are not to blame for thinking, that they understand their own trade, and the rates of compensation^ which they can live at it.

"ELECTION FRAUDS."

The infamous charges of the Globe, and its kindred echoes, that, in the late election, a majority of the American People were "bribed and bought over by the Banks," &e. have been extensively circulated in Europe and are adroitly made use of by the tories and despots of the Old World to prove the evil consequences of Republican institutions in the New. The eclat with which these atrocious slanders are republished, astonishes no one aware of the influence that the practical success of our system of Government and the prosperity of our glorious Union, are gradually exercising, every where, in favor of popular liberty. We are happy to see, that a writer in Galignani's Messenger (an English paper published in Paris,) has, in a most able and eloquent essay, defended the purity and integrity of the American People from tho slanders of the official organ and demonstrates, beyond the possibility of doubt, tho honesty, and integrity, and disinterestedness of those who, in the Inte election, cast their votes for Gen. HARRISON for the Presidency. The writer al luded to, is said to be Gen. CASS, the American Minis ter and, if so, his well-timed refutation of the Globe slanders not only merits the thanks of every American citizen, but has conferred a signal benefit on the cause of human liberty throughout the World. Sooner than admit that Mr. VAN BUREN'S defeat was owing to the corruption, profligacy and imbecility of his administration, the Globe would sink the honesty and intelligence of American citizens beneath the serfs of Russia and yet, it hypocritically affects, to be a dear lover of tho People, and to have a most reverential respect for their judgment and capacity to govern ihemselvts!—

When they gave their confidence, in advance, to Mr. Van Buren, in 1836, on the faith of his promises to follow in Jackson'8 footsteps,the.People were virtuous,wiee and intelligent but when, in 1840, after testing his promises by his acts, they found him wanting in capacity and honesty to promote their welfare, no epithets are too degradingfqr their denunciation by theauthorized organ of his administration! Such hypocricy is daily opening the eyes of the People, and swelling the ranks of tlio friends of Harrison and Reform.

lNBTANAPOLfit JAN*. 6,1841.

Since my tastletter, an immense amount of local business has been transacted, and borh Houses have been in session till five o'* clocji eyesy afternoon. Sjieeches have been very nuch cur!ailed, nnd action, ariion, has been the cry. During my knowledge of the Legislature, I have never known any two bodies so 'seemingly anxioufc to despatch business as our present Senate arid House of Representatives. When the Acts of the Legislature are published, it wilt be found that they have not been idle, as to quantity. Of the quality, your readers, and the People of the State, must be the best judges.

A bill authorizing SAWL. BIGGER,Esq. (noMr Governor) fwepare a Code for the State of Indiana, passed the House some days since, and will pass the Senate, I have little doubt. The character of Gov. B., his general ac quaintance with the wants of the People, added to his high standing as a lawyer, cannot fail to be highly beneficial in the formation of a Code of Laws suited to the condition of la diana.

The Bank Question, though much debated, has not yet been finally settled. Mr. JUDAH'S bill, on which that gentleman, a week or two since, "staked his political existence," has been slaughtered in the very Sight of its parent, by a most decisive vote. By referring to the Courier, three or four weeks ago, the reader will find the whole bill published. It wili be seen that it proposed to pay the Bank six hundred and seventy-odd thousand dollars (advanced to the State at the time of great need,) provided the Bank would accept certain amendments to her charter, zs the condition of securing Iter rights. Some of them were wholgsomeand salutary, and might, if accepted, do the Bank and the People a joint and corresponding benefit, whilst others never could ne accepted without risking the existence of the Bank itself. After several days' debate, amendment and re-amendment, and a canvass of the merits of the whole bill, it was thought best by the House to dissect— prune off' its excrescences—and give it the appearance of fairness, at least. For this purpose, Mr. FARRIKGTON moved to strikeout the section providing for I he payment of Bank debt, expressing himself disposed (and promising the House) to call up his own bill for that purpose, which stands anisolated proposition, unconnected with anything else. Mr.

JUDAH notified the House that "if this section was stricken out, he should go agiinst any payment of the Bank debt," to which Mr. FARRINGTOW replied, "very well, let thai be the issue." The House, by a large majority, struck out the section and proceeded to strike out two other sections equally dear to the Speaker. The bill, as amended, passed the House on Friday. It authorises the issue of a million of dollars, of a less amount than fives, the Bank paying a bonus of one percent, to the State and it also funds the Surplus Rev enue and Sinking Fund in the stock of the Bank, so soon as the same can be withdrawn from the present borrowers, without serious detriment. These are the main features of the bill—perhaps the only ones in which your renders Can now feel a very lively interest. 1 will procure a copy of the bill, in a day or two, and sent it to you for publication. The same proposition was debated fn the Senate, on the same day, and a result very similar arrived at. The principal speakers in the Senate were Messrs. PARKER and EGGLFSTON, on one side, and Messrs. BAIRD, CAhNAN and Tutr, on the other. Other gentlemen participated in the debate, but it was not my good fortune, owing to engagements in the other end of the Capitol, to hear them. Those I heard acquitted themselves with distinguished ability. Mr. PARKER is one of th& ablest debaters in the Senate, nnd goes into all his undertakings with an earnestness of manner which indicates a soul «s well as a mind. Mr. EGGLESTON is of a temperament

Mr. CARNAN, of Knox, is personally known to most of your Wabash readers, though as a public man he is less understood. He troubles the Senate but seldom—never makes set speeches and, on this occasion, was called out by the excitement of debate. Whilst I heard him, his remarks were confined strictly to the question under debate—a most rare occurrence in tliese degenerate days of parliamentary propriety. He spoke to the point, and delivered his sentiments with an ease which convinced the Senate that he understood the matter under discussion. He is an industrious member of that body, and never out of his place. Mr. TEST, of Wayne, is an old and experienced legislator, although by no means an

During tbe debate to which I now refer, Mr. Test addressed tbe Senate, but I heard only a small portion of his remarks.

which the motives of some members of the Senate and Heuse are impugned, as I think improperly.

Houses was employed in considering the different classification projects from select and standing committees. That of the (/.anal and Internal Improvement Committee underwent a spirited discussion in -the- House, (M in jcommitlee ofthe whole) and was participated in by Messrs. Howe, Champer.

No amendments were made in the bill, and the committee rose, reported it to the House, ana asked to be dischar-

the People were thinking of the individuals whom they desire to represent them. In the First District, the incumbent, Mr. Profiit, will be supported by the Whigs, it is believed, withoot a Convention being called, as no gentleman of the same political sentiments is likely to-become a candidate against him. His course in Congress, as a fearless and independent Representative, entitles him to the continued confidence of his friends. The Van Buren party, will, it is thought, bring forward Mr. Lockhart, as its candidate.

For the Second District, several gentlemen are here !«noken of. The most prominent are Messrs. Blake and Suntington. of Vigo Thompson, of Lawrence, and Ewing, of Knox. All. the gentlemen named have just claims, and their pretensions will be urged at a proper time, by their respective friends. For myself,-1 have no feeling on the subject, independent of the anxiety I feel to see the District represented by a Whig who will represent" the popular judgment of the People.— This can be done only by a Convention, fully reflecting the will of the District, and this the People will de» mand, without allowing any individual or individuals to force themselves out against Ihs general consent. I see by a late number ot the "Vincennes Sun" that some one hns taken the proposed convention in high dudgeon, and one or both of the Editors of the Courier have been dealt with according to the vocabulary of the writer.— I have lived too long, however, to take very seriously any new measure of injustice from that quarter, and would scorn to retort or bandy epithets with him. He is in the hands of a high-minded and honest People, nnd they will not fail todo him justice. That position-6ha!l not'bechnnged bv any remarks of mine.

ootn

In the Third District, it is by no means certain on whom the Whigs will unite. JOSEPH G. MARSHALL and JOSEPH L. WHITE, of Jefferson county, are the persons most generally spoken of, and one of them will be nominated, no doubt. Either gentlemtn would be acceptable to the Whig party, for talents such as their's are, at this time, needed by the public exigencies. It i? supposed that Taos J. HENLT,of Clark county, will be the candidate of the Van Buren party. Mr. H. is a gentleman of highly respectable talents—an adriot and well-skilled politician, with the maferiaZ to constitute a formidable opponent. find by the papers in the Fourth District, that Messrs. JAMES H. CRAVENS, MILTON GREGG, JAMES BLAIR, and JOHNSON WATTS, are spoken of for Congress, on tho part of the Whigs. The Van Buren men will, it is thought, support Tnos. SMITH, the present incumbent.

In the Fifth District, CALEB B. SMITH, of Fayette, is here regarded as the Whig candidate, it being understood tnat Mr. RARIPEN, the incumbent, declines a reelection. and our friend Gen. MCCARTY will not be in the field. Mr. SMITH is SO generally known throughout the State, that I need hardly sav a word as to his fitness for a seat in the National Congress. No man, within my knowledge here, seems to unite a larger share of popular talent than Mr. S.,if wc regard industry, integrity, and a commandingshare ol true and forcible eloquence. As a citizen of Indiana, it would afford me tho utmost gratification to see this gentleman in Congress, bccause his parliamentary talents eminently qualify him for such a station. Mr. SMITH, like to to

other Whigs ot the right stamp, will do nothing embarrass his political friends, but cheerfully submit a Convention, let its decision be for or against him.

In the Sixth District, Messrs. WALLACE XEx-Gover-nor,) SwEETJtEH.and HEROD, are spoken of on the Whig side of the House, and Mr. WICK, "solitary and nlone," on the Van Ruren side. A Convention will decide on whom the Whigs will unite.

In the Seventh District, HENRY S. LANE (now in Congress,) will no doubt be recognized as the Whig candidate, but whether he will have a Van Buren competitor is altogether uncertain. R° he has, it makes no difference, "Ifnrrv of the North1' can't be reached by any thing short of the race-horse Boston, or the Giraffe.

FROM TOE INDIANA JOURNAL. ...-J* Monday, JAIT. 25,

In the Senate, Friday, a report was made to that body by the President of the State Bank, in answer to a resolution requesting him to inform the Senate what amount of money has been advanced in any manner whatever to corporations, upon bills, bonds, notes discounted, or otherwise, by the several brancbessince the first of October, 1839, from which it appears that, up to near the close of 1840, tbe amount of $80,109 13 was owing to the several branches from city and town incorporations, savicg institutions, insurance companies, county seminaries, &c.

In tbe afternoon an interesting debate spruag up on the bill allowing fugitives from labor tbe right of trial by jury. The bill was indefinitely postponed by a vote qf 22 to 18.

Saturday, the committee composed of Messrs. Cravens, and Watts ol tbe Senate, and Jenckes of the House» appointed by a resolution of the last legislature to inquire into the condition ot theState University and the causes ol iis deel roe and, also, into the proper means to be adopted to secure it* prosperity, and into the expediency of establishing an agricultural professorship, made an able ana interesting report. The Committee express their entire belief that tbe severe criticisms of the public press, to which the President of the College has been subject, and which have had an injurious effect upon the interests of that institution, were unjust and unfounded, and unanimously concur in tbe opinion that no conduct ot his hss been so prejudicial as alleged. They believe the President to be eminently qualified for tbe station which be occupies, and find trom tbe investigation, that be has discharged the high trusts committed to him with an ability and fidelity worthy of all commendation.

The committee arrive at the conclusion that there are two main causes for the decline of the College. 1st. Soch ss operate injuriously on most of tbe institutions of the country and 2d. Such as are peculiar to tbe circumstances of the College and its particular organization. Tbey reoommeod as om remedy for evils under the second head, a reduction of the number of the Board ot Trustees.

Tbe total amount offendsarising from donated lands to the ootlege. is #11321 84. The report wras accompanied by various documents, and a bill embracing sad) provisions as they deem necessary for the benefit of the institution.

In tbe House, on Thursdav, the bill to provide in part (or tbe payment of tbe Public Debt was taken npThe sixth and seventh seclto&s of tbe bill which authorised the Bank to charge seven per cent, on loans, and required a tax of two per cent, on its capital stock for state purposes, having been struck out.

A very animated and »«ngthy discussion WaS occasioned by Mr. Sweetser amendment, when it was finally adopted and the bill was reed a third time and passed by a large majority.— Anew project was presented by Mr. Blankenship, to dacaify th* Public works: vix—to go into an election by joint bt^lot of both booses and select oae work to be progressed with to final completion the work receiving the smallest number of votes to be dropped at each successive balloting, tuitil some one work *hall receive a majority of ail the votaa.

Our Uttle friend, Mrs. Chitterling, had been.

"circumstance" had passed by. In vfcin had

knew belonged to a gentleman, upon whom, for good and sufficient reasons of her own, she hail had her eyes of l«,e. But although she strained her eyes up the street, and down the straet, there was no sign of hia master. Vexed with the 6og for having the impudence to be upon bis own business, she had just, exclalnwd "Pu.W the boas ," when the following beautiful circKmstance .appeared.

Mr. Roundsides, or, as he is familiarly calledby hts male acquaintance, "Bob-Roundy" and the inter. esting- widow, (a young widow, be it known,) Ellmore, were coming down the street arm in arm. ••Arm in arm as I live," muttered Mrs. Chitterling as her work dropped into her lap, and her ejes kept up aMnerry.dance of glances upon the attractive couple. "Why my own eyes eee it if this don't mean something, what does?" Sure enough, Mrs. Chitterling, if that didn't mean something, what did?

From the bottom of the deep well in our heart, (for a Zephyr personified has a right to a heart, )*e pour out a 'whole bucket-full of pity upon the heads of all those dull and stupid mortals, who cannot read the terrible meaning of a coujfle walking arm in arm. The frfcxen souls of such have never, melted before the warming influence of such a position. Mrs. Chitterling is not of your number. Locked arms iwere with her the true poetry of motion, compared with which, the waits I is heavy prose. She was deep read in tbe lore, and understood the whole philosophy of this relation, and the witching sentiments it originates. The sense of proud protection implied upon the one hand, snd sweet dependence irpon the other, feelings which naturally1 "dove-tail" together. Linked arms, if not a bridge of siglls. form* one of symputhfes, over which those uncliainable spirits flit from heart to heart, mingling in. dangerous union on tho way. Here we would most earnestly implore all our bachelor friends, to le»rn from her and open their eyes to the truth of this matter* and never heedlessly trust their arm to a lady. "Take my arm, Miss or madam," she will teltthem, is just ihe name as saying ''Take my heart."

Well, nevertheless, there they came, arm in arm, carelcss of danger. Poor Bob! But we cannot in conscience permit a couple to pass by, who were so important in tbe ayes of Mrs. Chitterling, without giving 'each a formal introduction to those who honor us with a perusal, and we will give the gentleman first, not, but that our inclination gives precedence to the lady, but our duty as a true historian and our relationship to nature compel us to follow her example, and man was made before woman.

Robin Roundsidcs, Esq., had lived just long i^foiigh in the world to hvc a quiet kind of life, and this affection, every body knows, does not come over us in extreme youth, yet it need not, imply great age. We must call upon the figures of poetry to describe him further. The lamp of good nature beamed like a sun from his countenance benevolence glowecL, mildly in his bosom, and drew the company of his fellow men around its social warmth his mind blossomed with the flowers of refined cultivation, and bore the rich fruits of accumulated reading and meditation. Such a man, naturally preferred the charms of conversation, to mor rude and boisterous pleasures. Pecuniary resources, which, junth the economy of *n interior town, amounted to competency, placed him beyond the necessity o^ exertion, and left most of hjs time at his disposul. Hut though in one sense an idler himself, he was too considerate to intrude himself upon the time of those who had business to occupy them henct, from necessity as well as taste, he was led to associate with the gentler sex. His head was a little—just a little bald, and his general appearance was that of a gentlemanly, "right personable" sort of a man.

He located in our pretty village, for reasons best known to himself, and which, with great disrespectto the community at large, we hope it was from ignorance of his duty, he did not publish in the newspapers, and he therefore bccame as fair subject for investigation as is the quadrature ot the circle or the discovery of perpetual motion.

At the close of a morning's conversation upon divers persons, Mrs. Chitterling remarked to Mrs. Sidepoker, ihnt "appearances wefe very much against that man." "Oh don't say that, Mrs. Chitterling/' replied Mr*:. Sidepoker, "though, indeed, there's no tel. dear woman, he him." "Smiling! smiling!1' continued the first lady. "Yes! a man don't smile all the tme for nothing, take my word for it," and she nodded her head knowingly. "Have you heard any thing of, his family?" carelessly asked Mrs. Sidepoker. "Not I indeed, and I should like to know who has, and depend upon it if a man don't talk of his family—his wife and children, he has good reason for it and there are few men of his age but have. a wife and children, somewhere. I can tell you mote, when last Sunday, in Church, he scratched his head with the fore-finger of his left.hand, I saw a plain gold ring on the ring finger." Mrs, Chitterling spoke this with animated excitement

Mrs. Sidepoker replied^— •'Well, things do look suspicious, but I hope for the best." Mrs. Cullender was a silent listener .tO' the foregoing colloquy, and the report soon became general, that our friend "Bob Boundy" had! deserted a wife who was a living skeleton of pining awsy affection, and six loves of children, whose only hsppiness was to cry out Pa!

The next general opinion which spread abroad^ upon "They say" authority, wss thst Mr. Houndsides wss a notorious gambler who had fled from the scene of his iniquities. Upon these t#o reports opinions were divided, and we come near having split in society, while the subject of discussion passed quietly along, unconsciousjif the mischief he had made. ?vT

The excitement of tbe foregoing opinions wore themselvesoutanddiedfor want of nourishment. For a time, other subjects claimed the sttention of the council, snd were by it, thrown upon the downside of the see-saw of public opinion, while Bob, at the other end dangled his legs, and kicked his heels proudly in the upper air. Mr. Roundsides, was now sdmitted to be plessant sort of man he bad a kind word for every one, and punctually paid his debts. Althongh the stages were watched for six months, ihe wife and six children didn't come to claim htm. It was therefore concluded that he was destitute of these interesting appendages, but by all means he ought to have them, and it became the chief business of the council to settle him properly. He was decided to be an "eligible match" for any who wanted a husband, and such in the eyes of the council was every woman, old or young, who bad none. Tbe eyes of all such were reported to be deceitful batteries, masked under fringed lashes, snd ready to pour forth in glances upon Bob's heart whole vollies grspe, canister snd chsin shot.

In this perilous condition wss "Bob Roundy" at the tinje of bis introduction to our readers, snd awful as his condition is, there we must now leave him and the witching widow Ellmore holding on to his arm, for, charming Mrs. Ellmore we could never forgive ourselves the disrespect of introducing you at the tail of this chapter. You must be tbe beauteous theme of a futurenumber, and, until •hen, we leave you hanging on to Rob Roundy am. Poor Bob! what will become of him?
