TERRE-HAUTE. SATURDAY APRIL 9.1843.

rr We ere reaoowd to annouocs CALEB GARRETT as a,, candidate for Shwff at the ^election.

O-Wn are requested fo *nnw{«* WIRAM rf WESTFALL aa a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Vigo county, at the ensuing election. rVVa are requested to annoancs the flifflw of

JOSEPH L1STON, na a candidate (or Sheriff of Vigo count?.at the coming eleciion ty~ We are requested to announce WM. RAY, of 6ugsr Creek, as a candidate for ShertfT. ftSrWe are requested to announce GEORGE H. sSPKNCER. of Otter Creek, as a candidate for Sheriff of Vigo county at the approaching election.

UNITED STATES SENATOR. It will devolve upon the Legislature of the State of Indiana to elect a Senator in Congress next winter—Thi3 we should think ought to form one good reason why the Whigs 'of our State should early turn their nttrntion »towards the August election—Let good Whigs be elected as members of the Legislature, and nothing nm! be feared, as to the proper kind of mun being chosen by that bodv to Represent the Stale in the Senat,e of the U• tted States. ,*

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.

The duty of Districting the State of Indiana, J,far (l*tngfsamiooa\ representation, according fto the apportionment to be made by Congress his session, wilt fall upon the Indian Legislature next winter. In order to have a fair and equitable division of Districts, it is of the utmost importance that the Whins of Vigo, and every other county in the State, should turn their attention to the selection of Whigs of the true stamp to represent them in the next Legislature.

WHIG PItlNC'PLES.

For a long series of years, the necessities, ard wants of our common country have manifested themselves so plainly, an5 in such variety of manner, as no longer to be mistaken, or to be the subject of cavil or doubt. The proptsr nnd true course, to meet those necessities and wants, have Jong since been advocated and adopted by the Whigs of our country, and recognised and known as Whig principles. Tliey are the same yesterday, to-day, and to-morrow—They have passed every kind of ordeal, and come out unscathed. They were known and acted upon,"S true and genuine In the election of

WM. H. HARRISON.

They are the same now as then—If right then they nre right now—If correct in the election of 1840, tncy will be correct in the election of 1842.

This then we think forms a proper consicU oration for all true Whigs to net upon at the coming election, with a zeal and feeling, proportioned to the importance of sustaining, what we all know to be true Whig principles,

II EN IIY CLAY.

In our columns of to-day will be found tho late speech of Mr. Clay, of which we spoke in our last. Wo recommend its perusal to every one who wishes to form some estimate of tho state of the times, or who desires to learn something of times that are past. Any column, or half column of the speech may be read with profit.

Mr. Clay has" how retired to private life. From the shndes nnd privacy of Ashland, wo think it likely he will again be drawn. The partiality of his countrymen, now manifesting itself in every section of our Union, cannot bo mistaken—And nothing wo think, 4Will satisfy tho Whigs of tho United States, short of electing Henry Clay to tho station, which his long services and tried patriotism are, believed to entitle him.

WASHINGTON.

From Washington we loarn that the President has sent a Mewnge to Congress in relation to tho present state of the Treasury, and urging some provision to raise funds for the purpose of carrying on the Government, fcc. Among other matters recommended, is that of regaling the Land bill, and appropriating the proceeds of sales to the use of the General Government, as a basis for a !oan,&c.

In all this wo sincerely hope the Prosident will be disappointed—and that the Lnnd distribution hill will not be disturbed by the present Congress—That question ought to be considered as settled. The .President has heretofore, on one or two memorable occasions, talked freely on the beauty of consistency—Now, however, ho is urging upon

Congress the repeal of an act, which he him-

self signed and approved within a few short

months. And so far as we oan discern, the reasons for the law are just as strong now as one year ago—and ihe reasons urged for its repeal entirely insufficient. in the debate in tho House on the loan bill, Messrs Wise and Proffit have been indulging

Wise

in their abuse of the Whig Party proper,— and endeavoring to place the want of action and delays of Congress, on whnt is called opposition lo llie Executive* &c. In this attempt to abuse the public mind in reference to tho truo Whigs of Congress nnd the country, these two gentlemen have been replied to, by Messrs. Gentry, Rntner and others, with great severity—And in reference to delays in Congress,and opposition to salutary measures, the saddle, we think, placed on the right horse, and sonic severe truths told.

Tho members of Congress, so far as we can judge seem now to be aroused to the necessity of action—They are about adopting the one hour rule, and other salutary checks, so as to cut off unnecessary debate, and bring important matters to immediate issue.

THE SOUTHWESTERN FRONTIER. From the Madisonian, we learn that the president has directed the movement of 800 nfuntry. and nearly 400 Pragoons to the vicinity of Fort Towson, on the Red River. This movement is made, as is supposed, with the view of checking the Indians West of Arkansas and Missouri—And preventing them from taking part in the contest between Mexico and Texas—The consequence of which might be, hostilities among themselves, and the commission of violence upon the inhabitants along that frontier.

"•'RVMOR.

It is rumored, that the Home Squadron, or a portion of it, has been ordered to Mexico, and that the same would take out a demand from our Government, for the surrender of the Santa Fe prisoners. This report may, or may not* be well founded.

BODT FOCM)»—The body of young Micklebery, drowned two or three weeks aiooe. was found in the River neer the Fteam Mill on Tuesday last.

BALL TO MR. CLAY. I

.Very extensive arrangements are being made, for a Clay Ball at Washington. Fiftytwo managers have been appointed—twentysix on the part of the citizens, and twenty-six on the part of Congress. Of the managers on the part of Congress, we are pleased to see the namesof the Hon. Albert S. White of the Senate-—and the Hon. R. W Thompson of the House of Representatives. The Bail to be given on Tuesday evening the 12th of April.

Gen. Waddy Thompson, th» newly appointed Minister to Mexico, has started on his missi on.

PORE,GN NEWS.

The Columbia has arrived at Halifax, after a passage of twenty days from Liverpool— which place she left on the 4th ult. News not very important. The Bank of England had lowered its rates of discounts from five per cent, to four—Money was said to be abundant—The state of trade in the manufacturing districts was as dull as ever.. The lady of Sir Robert Peel had given an assembly— the number of visiters exceeded six hundred, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Everett. A rumor wns current that the French Government had discovered a new plot against the lives of the King and his family, and that the most extraordinary precautions were taken to guard the Tuileries. The resolutions of Sir Robert Peel, the Prime Minister, reducing the scale of duties on imported flour and grain had passed the House of Commons by large majorities.

The Hon. John Ewing, of Vincennes, has announced himself as a candidate for the Senate for Knox county, and states, that for particular reasons he would be willing to serve at least one year in that capacity.

"The war of words between Mr.Botts ahd Judge Upshur, at Washington, is still progressing. It will probably terminate in a draw-

Carroll Express.

TEX\S--MEXICO.

In ojjr last we announced thfe invasion of Texas by a large Mexican force, amounting, as was supposed, to 12,000 or 15,000. We were led astray by southern papers, that had themselves been deceived, by the Proclamation of President Houston, nnd extravagant accounts from the West of Texas. The alarm appears to have been created, not by the approach of a rpgular army, but by a mere marauding party of Mftxicana amounting to some twelve hundred. The object of this party seems to have been to break up a clandestine trade that had been going on for some time between the citizens of Mexico and Texas, along the frontier—and perhaps some plunder on the part of this predatory company on its own account. At all events this party proceeded to the attack of Sau Antonio—and after robbing the Town, commenced a retreat —A large force of Texians had assembled and were in hot pursuit of the retreating Mexicans.

LATER STILL.

Since writing the above we have received the New Orleans Bulletin of March 26th— from which we take- the following extract— From this it will be seen that the first report of a large invading army is true, as was first represented. And that the apparent retreat of this supposed marauding party,was a mere ruse de guerre, to decoy the Texians—Other accounts in the same paper, from Galveston, confirm the first report, that a very large Mexican force were really entering Texas.

Extract from Ike N. O Bulletin, qf March 26tk. OCrThe latest from Galveston, leave no doubt as lo the invasion of Texas by a large

'udi ^ing

game by the parties Not so—Secretnry Upshur lost his Queen many districts, at the close of autumn and throughout .i— —n„ preTpnted the prosecution of the first move, and was fairly check-mated tho second—No draw-game about it.

The preceding rumor, which

Mexican army. represented the invading force to be a ma

on a pre

soemod to u9

datory expedi-

frrom

the first as inconsis-

ant with the movements simutaneouslv occurring. Tho proclamation of Arista, for

examplo was evidently a serious documet, and contemplated a formidable effort at re-con-quest. The Mexican commander could Rave no motive for publishing a manifesto of the

kind, as a mere humbug, without ony intention of carrying his threats into execution. Later intelligence shows that the suspicion was well founded. The party of marauders turns out to be the vangurod of an army formidable in numfiors, if not military efficiency. The only circumstance that remains still un. accuonted for, is tho..retreat of the Muxicms from San Antouio, after having captured the place. The retrogade movement seems somewhat strange, if the body in advance was backed as it is said, by twelve thousand men marching forward to their support.

The only probable supposition is, that the retreat was a ruse de guerre to draw on the Texians into an ambuscade. But when the most is made of these contradictory rumors* there is yet much that is inexplicable—for the understanding of which we roust wait the receipt of latter intelligence. So much, however, is well ascertained, that a numerous army of Mexicans are on the Texan territory, determined to try their valor in a battle oooe more, with the fierce Anglo-Saxon. In the meanwhile, the spirit of the invaded country is not in tne least daunted by the multitude of its adversaries, but rather dilates and towers with the magnitude of the impending danger. Its own indomitable heroism is ths mountain from which Texas will deceod upon tbe enemy, to overwhelm and scalier his puny myriads. Tbe events of the next few weeks may be awaited with intense interest, and the feeling in this section and anxiety about the result, could scarcely be greater than itw«f»he fate of our own country were involved IU the war.** •*.

MR. SMITH'S SPEECH.

We have received a copy of the speech of the

Hon*

O.H. Smith, of Indiana, on Mr.

Clay's resolutions—This speech is exceedingly interesting, and we regret its length must exclude its insertion in our columns. Mr. Smith has gone deeply into a detail of important matters relative to the subject before him. In reference to the land law he says:

I must take some additional notice of 'he remarks that arc never absent from the discasaton on this and most other subjects in this chamber that is, that we have given away the land revenue and some Senators have gone so far as to contend*1bat we have already bankrupted the Treaaary by it, although *verv dollar of the proceed* of the ssles has gone into the National Treasury, and has been used in the current expenditures. But we have OIVEH away the land revenue. Indeed! And who are the supposed doneeal The State*. And who are the States? The people. Ana tor whose benefit! The people's. But they are the people of the States and are they Bgi also the people of the General Government? Can you benefit the people of the Slates, and not benefit the people of the General Government, when they are the same people? Bui the money pies to the people of the States, nnd you have lo collect imposts from the people to fill the vacuum. The trti'h is, the people live under two Governments, both of which they have to support. The State Government* must be supported by direct taxation, as ihe States have tao power to levy impost*. The General Government may be supported by direct taxation but. as she has the constitutional power to levy imposts as well as to lay direct uxes, the former mode is resorted to, as every way preferable. If this money is crivenaway.it is given to its owners, the people, from whose pockets it wss taken and, to say the least of it, ihere is nothing very criminal in the matter. By the diairibution. those who would pay nothing in the chape of imposts are benefitted, and their direct taxes are'reduced in proportion to the amount received while imposts are paid, in part, by ihe voluntary consumer)) of foreign products, and in part by the foreign producer, and American industry is fostered by the levy.

GLASGOW.

A friend has handed us the Glasgow (Scotland) Mail, of February 9th. In this paper we find a great deal of interesting matter. From the editorial, under Feb. 9th, 1843, we take the following extract, which seems to us to exhibit signs of early farming:

AGRICULTURAL.—During ihe greater part of last week the weather continued mila and open the mois* ture which had previously saturated the soil has been gradually disappearing, and the streams becoming limpid- We have had always a slight touch of frosts! nights, and latterly it has grow somewhat intense yesterday morning the ground was extremely hard, and the edges of the brooks crisped with a thin coating of ice. which was however early swept away by the strength of the sun's rayS. On the whole the weather has been as favorable as we could well expect it lobe at this early period of the season, and we need not be surprised that Kir some time to coine, alight nocturnal frost will be the forerunner of every day of good sunshine. The transferring of manure from Hie barnyurd to the field has been steadily pursued during the greater part of the winter, and now the plough ia in requisition in all the better class of soils in the county, evincing that our agriculturists are improving the advantage of this early ipring lime. It is scarcely necessary to hint that thoas who begin soon begin wo!I that not a day is now to be lost in getting forward the oats and bareley ground, for experience proves that the early sown is the early ripened, and further that it is less liable to lodge, and produces the finest samples. A considerable extent of spring wheat is also in the courseol sowing, for the spongy nature of the soil in

iiy pr It is difficult to estimate the a-

the winter, effectual) this kind of work. 1 mount of winter wheat left unsown over the whole country, from tho contradictory nature of the accounts, but one report states that over the three Lothians at least a four part less than usual had only been put into the ground before the winter fairly set in. These include some of the principsl grain-growing districts in Scotland, and it ia likely thnt the greater part will be sown with spring wheat, within a few days from this dale—that is, should the weather keep lair and open but we observe that in other districts of Scotland. it is intended to sow oats or barley on Isnds which it has been impossible to overtake with wheat,— from the somewliat wise precaution that it ia better to provide for an abundant crop ot the former kind of grain than a precarious one of the latter.
