TIPPECANOE JOURNAL,

Jifo. B. StMA«s. E*q. ftM issued the first No. of this

MAitsbapk to the chsir editorial, not only became be is y.a whole-eouled and devoted Whig, but, aim, became &m, he is an independent and fearless Editor. Twelve years '?*Z ago, we formed his acquaintance as the conductor of a

Press, and well remember the fearful odds against which we both contended. Indiana had, at that time, within her borders, a Jackson majority of nearly ltifcDOO votes,—a drilled maiority apparently as invincible as the Macedoniarj phalanx. Side by side we were together for years, and now, after his absence from the State of bat rhort duration, we meet together again, the advocates of the sogfeasfal and imports! principles of oor earlier days. "Old things have possedaway," and the men and thus measures for which wethen struggled, in a minority, are borne onward and upward the voice of millions. Our friend at Lafayette has oar warmest prayers for hiaiuccess, believing that time has wrought no change in his feelings, unless it be to confirm those manly virtues of independence and political integrity ee conspicuous in his early labors. A

INDIANA SENTINEL.

This paper, conducted by the Messrs. CIUPXA.H, at Indianapolis, has made its appearance: It is a large, Hne.looking sheet, and takes the place *of the Indisna Democrat, soJong the organ ol Van Burenism at the scat of government.

KJ" The People of Madison held an elect ion, the other day, fodecidc the most popular for Postmaster of that ci»y, the Poat mister-General haying signified his inteatio? 10 appoint the individual most acceptable to the inhabitants. Several persons were votea for, and, on counting the ballots, JAMES H. COWDEX, the present Van Buren incumbent, wss found to be chosen! Madison is a strong Whie city. Ifow would some of our Terre-Hante Posl Office aspirants like to submit their claims to a simintr ordeal? at ,*

Ai the new Com mtsnonerbas lately reformed" eevera I clerks, and placed others in theiT stead, wonder if the nevOiatch will oil prove as venal and ready cats-paws as "M"? T' so, we may soon expect to sec the country flooded witsimilar letters bepraising their master, and libelling all who will not bend the knee to hit surreptitious and fraudulent claims to official distinction. Jt may cause the business of the office to fall behind, ond the patronage of the Government to be brought into conflict with the freedom of elections but the clerks in theemploy of the open and well-known rcviler of JEFPEKSOM, cannot beexpectod to pay much respect to the maxims of the Father of the Republican church, cespecting the necessity of office-holders abstaining from interfering in elections, for,' as the old cock crow.', the young,ones learn."

THE NATIONAL DOMAIN.

We learn from the Madisonjan tlrnt the estimated quantity of public land unsold and now subject to private entry is 119,173,44] acrfs.

TI10 estimated quantity, surveyed and nnsurveyed, not offured at public sale, is 103.416,863 acres. The quantity which has been sold from the earliest period of the safes is 86,708,734 acres.

The amount paid therefor by the purchasers has been $191,113,435. The quantity granted to each Stale and Territory, exclusive of the

16th

section, has been 3,826,836 acres.

The quantity reserved from sale, exclusive of the 16th section, Jtes been 837,589 acresThe estimHtod quantity of public land to which the Indian title hos not been extinguished in the States and Territories, is 735,915,699.

BAMBOOZLING THE PEOPLE The proceedings of the meeting of tho "Terre-Haute Bar," published in a linte number of theCourier, is now publishing by some of our cotemporarics, for the purpose of discrediting our statement respecting the "unpopularity of Mr. Huntington's appointment! The desperation of men who can lay hola of resolutions so carefully worded, tosustain the potoica/integrityof an office-seeking a«pirnitt, must be palpable (0 anyone who will take the pains to read anil scan their meaning and purport. The attempt to cronte an artificial state of public Apiuion, as an offset to the free and untrammelled expressions of tho People and the press, may succeed at a distance, but can only excite indignation »nd disgust here, where the circumstances attending

Tho letter and its obvious purpose, excited a good deal of amusement at the time, and none appeared more tickled than some of the gentlemen whose names figure conspicuously in the proceedings alluded to, and who were openly opposed to tho removal of Mr. Whitcomb, and the appointment of Mr. H. as his successor. The consequence was, that the first attempt to "respond" to his letter failnd, but, at length, a wriw of carefully-worded and modified resolves, (hav-

Not one word wss uttered by him against the pnWf character of the new officer.

OFFICIAL HISELiSiGS IN Mi 8uoe our strictures on therappaurtmem of E. 91HBMUWWI reached Washington, the Land Office tbmbttbMis»«afetstat«oltoBnMim. Letters have been written Arrr denonacmg us in the most violent manner, and invoking the dire dtepleasure of the few on die beads of those who havf darsd to qnesrkra the superior fi$£e** andjppularity of the new Commissioner. Letter writsrna't Washington have seat on similar mantfsstoes to Iiidianyaiif, Madison, and Philadelphia, "and we are daily looking far nnjQUr from the great Fee F** Fum to have oor head* est off, and placed on the Public Square ofnur beautiful town' A gentleman of this place, a particular friend of Mr Hmmmroir, received a 0fter a few daysago, ig which a letter writer from WatkingUm, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, makes some singular ^discoveries. That paper was sent here from Washington, as an evidence, no doubt, of the popularity of Judge*Huntington, and accounting for ttooppoaition of the Courier to- bis appointment. By the courtesy o%fce gentleman whore-, jptved the paper, we are permitted to make the follow' tng extract: "The editor of the Courier ia a personal enemy of Judge Huntington—which enmity originated from the met that Jndge in. the discharge of Ait official duty 3 editor thar

bad to act somewhat xoatoharthig with the was consonant with his (the editor^) feelings. Had the Judge neglected his duff, at a judicial officer, andpermitUdehi* brother Whig to gtrm&cf, "sexn FK£E," we mould not now see a column of his paper occupied in traducing the character of the Judge."

IFto the writer of the foregoing paragraph is, or*ty whote procurement it wss written, the public must judge. I Pis dated at Washington,"on iHte 10th, the day after the Courier of the 3d was received in that city. That paper, we have perfect knowledge, threw the whole pack of Indiana office-beggars, and certificatemakers, into a fever, and gave them some knowledge of the feelings created by their coalition and bargainmaking at the seat of Government. They were not prepared for sucfi an overt-act of treason against the political arrangements consummated by their mutual endor ttment of each other''$ standing at home, by which system the 'spoils" **re divided out smongst those hungry leeches who congregated within the "ten miles square," at that particular juncture. The honest and deserving portion of the Whig party, who expected or desired appointments, were too proud or too modestto avalanche themselves u$»n that devoted city, and their place was filled by the veriest camp-followers and bogus Whigs on the face of if# earth. The Prjpdent, under such a State of things, Was liable to be imposed upon, and, we fear, was milled in regard to the standing and populsrity of some of the nominees. *He should not be held responsible for such impositions.

We took up our pen, however, not to speak of those appointments, but to notice the atrocious calumnies contained in the extract from the Philadelphia Inquirer. We never expected to escape the malevolence of those whom wo may oflfend by an independent course, as the conductors of a free and untrammelled press, but we were hazily prepared for such an effusion of malice and hatred as the Washington lettet writer has indul ged toward us. Tbe Junior Editor (who never wrote a single line against Mr. Huntington's appointment) is held up to the wo^Jd as a criminal in oourt—a suppliant for judicial mercy—charged with felony against the laws of his country! We are represented as not having "got off, scot free"—a plaitr indication that we were convicted, and that, on that account, we are op posed to his judgeship! So far from the insinuation having the "shadow of a shade" to rest upon, those who have known the Junior Editor feom boyhood up to this moment, know that be^asnever been arraigned in any court, on any charge, by any jury, or before any Judge. It will draw a smile from those who have known us, since our residence here, to read such apiece of ineffable stupidity as that contained in the extract above given. Nothing but the most perfect malignity would induce any man, however abandoned, thui meanly, under the cover of an anonymous signature, to slander an individual who has only had the misfortune to think certain men unqualified for high and elevated appointments. We never have laid claim to any peculinr righteousness—never have held our head above our neighbors, or thought ourselves better than other people—but, really, we are not now ashamed to compare our conduct with the chief prompter of that most contemptible paragraph. It isgenerally the case, {with a certain class of pettifoggers,) that the character and standing of material witnesses must be impeached and as the "Courier" has stood, and now stands, in the way of the ambitious projects of certain men, its Editors must be hunted down, by a species of petty scandal, such only ss savages would practice.

The letter in the Philadelphia Inquirer is a fair sample of the means now using, by certain men, to discredit the views of the independent Whig*Press. We have entire confidence that the PEOPLE will see through such flimsey efforts to destroy those who were fighting the bottles of the Whig party, at a lime when this Swiss battalion were on the side of the enemy.

MURDER.

In Portsmouth, Ohio, about a week ago, whilst a party of persons were amusing themselvesdancing. a gang of rowdies broke into the house, attacked the persons assembled there, broke the windows and knocked down and stabbed several individuals. Tn the affray, Henry Stemshorn, an unoffending Germnn, was struck with a stick of wood and killed. The villains then fled, but were pursued by the Sheriff, and three of them apprehended. were brought back and lodged in jail.

Ipable fact, that in some of the new appointments, seems to have been'bad to the peculiar ftness of the successful applicants for the offices to which tbey have been appointed, than to other and extraneous considerations. While we go in most heartily, tor the removal of all who have proved themselves unworthy, tkeir places •iticians. The country were created for tb whole people—and while we cordially sa -doctrine, that in all new appointments, a President is perfectly justifiable in prefering his political friends before his political opponents yet we contend that in no instance, and upon no consideration, shoaM the great Jefferson ian lest—"Is he honestf Is he cazx&cf'beloet sight of.

Our doctrine is precisely what it wss before the election—what it always hss been—and what we trust it ever will be—Let none be removed for mere opinion** sake. Those who have proved themselves honest and capable—who have attended to the business qf their offices, without becoming binbling politicians nr brawling partisans—who have not brought their official patronage or influence "into conflict with the freedom of elections," ought to be retained. All who fill the converse of the proposition, ought to be promptly reirioved, no matter who it may please or offend, and whenever, in observing this rule, it shall become necessary to fill a vacancy, let it be filled by some one. who, by his stern integrity, correct principles, and unquestioned ability, cannot fail to ensure%nfidence and give genera! satisfaction.

WABASH AND ERIE CANAL.

Ohio is pushing forward her portion of thisgreat work with a zeal and energy highly commendable. Heretofore she has been rather tardy in her operations giving to her younger sister, Indiana, just cause of complaint. This she feels, and we are gratified to know that her public agents are now doing every thing in their power to flone for ihe past. Much of the work on the entire line is completed, and we entertain a strong :iope, should the present season continue healthy, that the Canal will be in a condition to admit the passage of Boats from Lafayette to the Lake, as early as the 4th of July, 1842.

We were assured, in a recent conversation with Mr. DICKBRSOJV, the acting Commissioner, and Mr, MEPBMRY, the Principal Engineer on the westerndivlsion of theOhio line, that Boats would be Able to paq^as '°w down as Defiance, (from which place to the fdot,of the rapids there ia now a tri-weekly line of post coaches,) by the month of May next, ana as early as the first of June, if not before, to the foot of Flat Rock, some ten or twelve miles below.-— Tip. Journal.

IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.

The Royal Mail Steam Paoket Co. of London has made application to t^e Council of Charleston, with the concurrence of the British Government, to permit the steamers belonging to them to land and take in mails, passengers, J-c. to and from the British ports, free from all tonnage, harbor and other dues, and custom entries, on their arrival and departure from the port ofCharles ton. The Patriot* observes: "Council will, no doubt grant the application so far as lies within their jurisdic tton in relation to harbor dues. But what relates to the remission of custom dues and custom entries is of course only in the competency of Congress. We understand that the British company has made application for these facilities to the Federal Government, and Council will, of course^ wait its action."

THE CASE OF McLEOD.

We have often had occasion to censure within .our selves the very indiscreet course pursued by many persons who, upon every turn of this case, becomo oxcited and seem to apprehend,and often predict,the n.oatterious consequences. As soon as the decision of the Supreme Court of New York was made known, these persons commenced speculating whether Mr. Fox would not immediately demand his passports, and seemed disposed to invest the case with the most sombre aspect. This, in our opinion, is all vtrong, because it is calculated to produce a false impression upon the public mind in regard to the nature of the feelings and relations which subsist between England and this country. The eople of the United States may be assured that no such asty steps as those will be taken by either party And that the interests of both are too much concerned iif|thq» maintenance of peace, to allow either to rush at once hito measures calculated to disturb the present good j|nd r8ttuiding between them.

WAR STEAMERS.

Since tbe publication of tbe report of Mr. King, of the House of on the subject of a Home

aundron,Representatives,The

public attention seems to be earnestly directtowards the matter. New York Journal of" Commerce, alluding to the course adopted by Great Britain, and the Advantages she will possess /n being able to turn her mail vessels into war-steamers, thinks that with the economical views of the American Government, it'ean hardly be expected that we shall undertake to compete with England in the mode adopted by her but nevertheless, we must hav^ some contrivance by which we can resist whatever vessels she may sen# against us, or our seaports will be at her mercy. The most available and efficient plan yet proposed i? thought bv 'he Journal to be that lately suggested by Mr. Redfield. His plan is briefly this: To have always at hand sufficient number of heavy Paixan^ or Cochran's bomb cannon, to supply all our passengersteamers with one, two, or more, according to their capacity, strength, and power of working and also to have a sufficient corps of naval artillerists, drilled to this especial service, ana rendered as perfect in the science of gunnery us study and practice can make them. Engineers and deck hands, of the proper character, could be obtained without difficulty, it is presumed, in sufficient numbers,

on the spur of the occasion- Thus provided, irt ten days could be put afloat a fleet of armed steamers, which, in connexion with forts and other means of defence, would render the situation nf.an invading fleet very uncomfortable. Mr. Redfield has shown that passene^r steamboats poetess sufficient strength for the purpose and in

of alertness, they would be far superior to the Britor French steamers. They would also be less exposed to destruction by Psixan shot than heavier vessels, inasmuch as the shot woujd psjo directly through them, instead of lodttingand exploding on board. There is no limit, scarcely, to the force which in this way we could bring to bear upon an enemy on our own coast. With the preparations above indicated, it would be perfectly practicable, on very short notice, to put afloat FIVS HUNDRED ARWKD STEAMERS. The number of artillerists required would not be large: bat tbey must be men of character, skill and courage, and must be paid accordingly.

Of course, Mr. Redfield's plan does not supersede tho construction and use of a suitable number of heavy steamers, like those now building. But these alone, unless their number were much larger than it is likely to be ai present, would be very inadequate to possible emergencies.—Bait. America.

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.

A gentleman who left Washington this morning, informs us that the excitement, both in and out of Congress, had subsided considerably, at the opening of the present week, end that there was no douDt remaining upon the minds of intelligent and observing mm that, not only the Bank bill, but also all the other leading measures which are likely to come up for deliberation ai the extra session, will be adopted before Congress adjourns. The prompt and business like feeling that had sprung up in the House, was making its way into the Senate, which would greatlv facilitate the action of that bodv. Our informant thinks Mr Clsjr's Bank bill was gradually getting more into favor,and that he looks with confidence for its final success, either in its present shape, or in a form so slightly modified as to make it lalatable to some, whose tastes are more fastidious than Ins own. He further states, that some eight or ten of the Opposition members, having let off enough of steam, have become tired of long-winded speeches, arid indicate a willingness to come to a direct ^»ote upon the measures of the majority, after a VteCexpaption of their views. If this cours*^rere putMlH, t&e session might easily be brought to Shclose irt the course of ten nfteen days.

With regard to the "vexed question," in reference to a Bank, now before the Senate, our views and feelings ?are in favor of Mr. Clay's bill, but seeing the position in which the President conceives himself to be placed, we have endeavored to cultivate a spirit of amity, not doubting that the mooted point could bo settled to the satisfaction of all parties, and thus preserve union and concord in the Whig ranks.—Bait. Patriots

The rule adopted by the House, limiting speeches to one hour, works well. Tbe Madisonian says that the speeches are more condensed and effective—the Hall is more fully attended—the House is kept on the qui vive, and business goes on with unusual facility. It is, indeed, a great discovery. The people will approve it, and both parties will, in the ena, find it a happy ruleIt saves time, space, labor, passion, money. The newspapers will be thankful for short speeches—they will be more generally published and read, and the readers will think much better of their suthors. "Brevity is th* soul of wit." A man ol education and good sense will speak with precision and brevity. It is the empty headed and weak-minded who are verbose. Condensation is an evidence of talent—the opposite is a sign of shallowness.

A COUNTRY EDITOR

Is, according to the idea of a few unfledged politician*, an animal made and designed to aubeerve the purpose* and convenience oi politic*! aspirants: and should one of the frihe venture to transgre*s and 'violate th* •'ends of hi* creation,1' sod to Bate "an Opinion of hia «r». bo merit* the penalties due to high crimes and misdemeanors11 Accordingly, whenever an Editor thinks the interests of tbe People are more important than the arrangements of politicians, he should promptly be punished with the knout and the bastinado. In the estimation of such men, the press should never aspire to the dignity of thought, its proper sphere being to register the edicts and puff the phantasicsand high and lofty tnmblings of its masters. A free press is a nuisance that no demagogue, laboringunder the big-bead, should tolerate for a moment.

VVe regard it as constituting an important era in the administrative system of the United States.

The effect of the bill upon the States, will be unquestioiMbly to relieve those which are in debt from much of their burdens.
