COUNTY COHTiWTlOJf.

Wa »re pleased to see that the Whigs of Vigo are stirring in «gen* to ^Jf ^agost Election. In soother column will be found the proceedings of a meeting in Honey Creek Township, recommending the apporatnrent of Drtesates in each Township to meet in County Convention for the purpose of forming a ^ticket for the Augest election. This was It ^should be-* We lave called attention to this 'subject in several numbers of our paper daring the last two months. It is the best and most feasible plan to ensure success—To harmo*nite and reconcile different and various feel* lings in the several sections of the county. I Thfei plan is now adopted by most of the 1 counties in the State, and the good effects well known wherever pursued.

The importance of the coming election is ^svteh, as to make it necessary for Whigs to

up and doing—What is done

must

be done

^promptly. We hope the Whigs of each ^Township will at once attend to the suggestion* of the Honey Creek meeting—and elect legates to the County Convention.

THE PRESIDENT—HIS COURSE. Surrounded by difficult*# unprecedented in thean*m!a

of Americen history

So far from President Tyler bem£ stirrounded by unprecedented difficulties it may be justly replied, that no President ever came to office with the land-marks of duty so fully and fairly chalked out. An even and easy path lay before him—Yes, a path strewed with flowers, and passing delightful shades and refreshing waters—To deviate from which, into a thorny and rugged way, was nothing but obstinacy, and the consequence of a perverse departure from the true principles which elevated Mi. Tyler to the place he occupies.

That the President was subjected to evil influences, as the Madisonian has it, may be true enoufflt—that is a proposition we shall a A id*

We am pleased to learn from undoubted authority, that our townsman, Col. Titos. H. BLAKE, was nominated on the 18th by the President of the United States to the Senate, for the office of Commissioner of the General Land Office. Tlrnt the Senate will confirm this nomination, of course there cannot be a moment's doubt. *«i

Perhaps some of our readers may for a moment suppose, that we may be inclined to entertain them continually, with some reference to the Express and its Editor. Not so:— We are on the defensive only—and that poet{ion,all will justify us la maintaining.

In the Express of April 20th there appeared several abusive articles, intended to be levelled at the Editor of this paper. Until after that date,no one of our readers had seen a word or line in reference to the Express or its Editor. We intend not to be the aggressors —we know our position. We have totcl some truths, which have gone home—and can tell more if further provoked.

Every kind of ill language has been used towards us personally* Accusations of the grossest character, and assertions by the score, too contemptible to require notice or answer, have appeared from week to week in the Express—And then forsooth, we are said to be convicted of charges, which bore upon their face their own condemnation, and were too low t4 demand notice at our hands. $g|

There has been no quarrel on our part ami whenever the aggressor chooses to try the experiment of exercising his pen on some other subject* we may also be relieved from a duty by no means agreeable in its nature.

STANLEY A3TD

WfSfc.

Our readers aire a#are thata difficulty has existed -for some time past, between E.

Stanley

and H. A. Wise of the Hoose of Repreafentatives at Washington. Words ^oketr the House, collisions out of doors, &c. "have brought the parties and their friends, to look hard towards the fashionable mode of settling gentlemanly dijiculties.

In nbort, a duel being strongly suspected last week, a warrant was issued for the pur pose of holding the parties to the peace. Mr. Stanley could toot be found—"but Mr. Wise fell into the officers hands and was brought before the Judges of the Circuit Court at Washington. ^5 v"rv

The-final proceedings wo take frdm ubl Baltimore American, as follows: CASE OP MR. WISE.

The Circuit Coart

Washington did not finally

dispose ol Mr. W«e\ cate ontil 5 o'clock on Saturday night, having been insrsron from ten in thejmorning. Judge Dun lop, after bearing at! the arguments of the counsel, expressed his intention to require Mr. Wise 10 give security to keep the peace. Upon J*""®" quote from ihe National Intcltigeneer) Mr. Wise called the attention of the Court 10 ike

bond which had been

prepared by Mr. Justice Morseff, requiring him to keep the peace toivardaall the people of the United Slates and beyond the District of Columbia. The Hon. Judge then said be should not require such a bond: and, finally, a bond was prepared afcd acknowledged before the Court, requiring t.ie Hon. H. A. Wiae, under the penalty of three thousand dollars, for the uace of one

^ANSVIILC OUTRAGE. From tktf EvatmiUe Journal qf the 1 ttk iutt. Late on Friday laat, our citiiena were astounded with the intelligence that the Catholic Priest, resident here, had been arreated upon the charge of committing an act of violence of the most revolting character upon a female penitent, the wile of Mr.Schmall, a highly respectable German citisen.and heraelf of a good family and well respected—young, handsome snd but recently married—while at the confessional lor the pur* pose of obtaining absolution for her ein*. The news apread like a conflagration, ar.d immediately upon the

risoner appearing at the Magistrate^ office, it was by such a concourse of people, that his. honor was compelled to adjourn to the Court House, which also was soon found incspableof containing the highly excited crowd that poured into it. Nothing however waa done with tne case on this evening the counsel for the defendant moving for a poetponement until morniag, stating their intention to Ask for a change of venue on the ground that the Magistrate bofore whom the process had been returned waa a Minister of a Protestant Church. The Magistrate required bail in the snn&of §1900, which was readily gtven Mitlw

adjourned until 9 o'clock the next morning, when a change of venue wss granted and the cause (referred to the decision of Squire Rowley at 8 o'clock Monday morning, and thsbail increased to 99000.

From the Journal wo further learn,that the excitement had not in the least abated on Monday morning. After some further exmination Mr. Wetnzapflein, the Priest, was admitted to bail in the sum of 94,000.

Some one has informed us that the Express threatens to notico us no more. Let him carry out, his threat. It would have been well had he ceased his slanders weeks ago. There are two reasons why he should now begin to consider prudence the better part otoalor—

First—He has exhausted his vocabulary of billingsgate, and can no longer find words abusive enough to apply to his neighbor.

Albany papers say, that during the recent session of the Legislature of New York,/our hundred and eighty nominations made by the Governor, were rejected by the Senate.

Foot prints were discovered near the win* dow, and a pistol found on the spot. Many rumors were afloat—and the citixens of Independence had offered a reward of 500 for the murderer. •*»,*'

Query.—W hy does the Express, quote our articles, fixing on him the yoke of TylerUm? Answer.—Because it is the exact position he wiahes to be found in—H» paper must go to the office of the Secretary of State at Washington—and it is necessary somebody there bbould know how the Editor is estimated at home.

ASSASSINATION OT EX-GOT. HOGGS. An attempt was made on the 6th inst. to murder Libbeus W. Baggs, late Governor of Missouri. The Governor was setting in a room by himself, at his residence in Independence, when some person discharged a pistol, loaded with buckshot, through an adjoining window. Three of the shot took effect in his head, one entering the brain. The Governor was alive on the ?tb, but no hopes entertained of his recovery.

TO THE WHIG8 OF TIGO. The undersigned, citizens of Honey Creek* and Harrison Townships, were appointed by a meeting held on the 20th instant, to respectfully recommend to their fellow-citizens the1 holding of a Convention at. an early day to nominate candidates for the Legislature, for thenession of 1842-3 and to accomplish this* we would urge the Whig citizens of the different townships to hold meetings at their precincis to appoint five or more Delegates, without delay, to meet in said Convention. This duty the Committee now beg respectfully to* discharge, and would urge some of the very many reasons which call upon them to come up to the assistance of thoir political brethren. The next session will be one of deep interest to the People of Indians, not only^o reference to her domestic policy, but also in^ its bearings on her National influence in the Councils of the Union. A United States Senator will be elected for six years, and that fact, of itself, would form a well-grounded cause' for the exertion of every Whig to send no one to the Legislature who would not reflect the political bentiments of Vigo in the choice of 1 hat officer. As one of the agents of Indiana's sovereignty in that Chamber, he will exercise an influence equal to one halfof our Representatives in the House, nnd besides the Legislative, will form a portion of the Executive Council of the country. The State of Indiana will be probably entitled to tbirteea or fourteeu Representatives in the lower House, and the Congressional Districts will be laid off by the same Legislature, for the nfxt ten years, a consideration by no means to rbe slightly considered. 1 by our supineness and

This fact is now inspiring our opponents to untiring exertions, and will continue to urge them to that secret organization, by means of which they hope to overwhelm us. Those who choose to be caught slumbering may do so, but it is to be hopod that the citizens of Vigo are not of the number. She has been liberal towards her^ political opponents, and never sought to proscribe them for honest opinions but this timet and on this occasion, she must stand to ber principles, regardless of all personal partialities or disfavor. The undersigned are amongst those who have never been active in political contests, and have no views to accomplish beyond the desire of seeing our political friends asserting their own long cherished principles. We believe that the time has arrived for the performance of this duty, and, in obedience to the instructions of our neighbors, we respectfully renew our recommendation that a County Convention be held at Terre-Haute, for the nomination of Candidates for the next Legislature,and would name Saturday, the 11th day of June, as the day for such assemblage, unless some other day be recommended by a majority of the Townships.

"t THE 8ECRETARTOF STATE. Mr. Webster arrived in New York on Thursday and took lodgings at the Astor House. We learn that he had interviews, this morning, with 'several Rhode Island gentlemen. the folly of any farther attempt

hold the spurious constitution, and, indeed,toe danger of presuming to exercise nay fort ber authority under it, is evident to every body, since it is known that the President in answer to a requisition of the Legislature of Rhode Island has repeated bis assurance previously given to Gov. King, that in case of resistance to the taws, be will assist the Governor with the power of the Government of the U. States. We trust therefore thst this tumult and hub boh is at an end. We expect to see Mr. Dorr, Mr. Pearce, and their associates relinquish the proceedings altogether, and by so doing enable the Government of Rhode Island to forbear farther arrests. Wboncitissos return to their senses and their duties, there should be moderation on the part of those who bold the power of the Government.

principles which he professes, and should be frowned indignantly upon by alt with whom he would profoas politically to act. Andequatty censurable and culpable are those who during a canvaa will set and look coolly snd indifferently on, and witness the defeat of their political friends, merely because they are displeased with the nomination, or not gratified with their own peculiar preference in the selection of individuals. Such a policy is -suicidal, and often by discouraging the hopes

and destroying the energy of our friends,contributes to their defeat for years. All such feelings should now be avoided concession, compromise and conciliation should characterize the action of the entire whig phalanx in the approaching contest. We hold the means of victory in our own hands—it can #be achieved with ease by energy and organization and where is the whig—where is he, who was a friend of the lamented Harrison in 1840, and rejoiced in the triumph of that venerated soldier, who would now willingly see his measures repudiated, his principles condemned and his memory desecrated Let us then awake, arouse, rally and unite, and victory is as oertain as is the issue to be tried.

The principle here illustrated applies with more or less exactness to the manufacture of Hats, Boots and Shoes, Refined Sugar, and a large proportion of our domestic products. They can be saved from destruction by a judicious discriminating Tariff, and that only. [N.Y. Tribune.

STRANGE OCCOAEBRCS.—Some weeks since an old gig was sent to Mr. Samuel H. Gover, auctioneer, to be sold. On Wednesday last it was knocked ofF to an individual for the small sum of 92 50 cts. Subsequently the purchaser disposed of the gig to Mr. M. Moody. On removing the lining on Friday, Mr. M. discovered a pocket book, which, on being opened, was found to contain a number of current Bank Notes, amounting in all to the sum of 9750. As far as the former owners of the gig have been traced, no one seems to have any knowledge of the existence of the money in its hiding place.—American.

A30 PER CENT TARIFF.

There are many well-meaning but not well informed people who profess a willingness to afford incidental Protection and encouragement to Home industry, but who contend that sl horizontal, uniform duty of 20 per cent on all importation* will do it. To this class we would address a few facts. 1. The article of Paper is one of the most extensive and importAnt of all our Manufactures after those of Wool, Cotton and Iron. The capital invested in it is Sixteen Millions the annual product about the same the number of men directly employed in it is Five Thousand. The whole number of persons supported by it is probably over Fifty Thousand. Now paper is dearer here than in Europe, mainly because ragt are tvice as high here as there. The numbel Of readers are so small in Europe that the rags are ^not air wanted for paper and are a drug .while here the consumption of paper exceeds the supply of rags,„$nd we import large quantities of them* *s?^be average p'ice of paper here is doubtless less than it our manufactories were broken down and* our whole supply imported yet' under a horazontal 20 per cent tariff enormous quantities would

poured in upon- us ^''especially from

here, and all our great ipwufy^ories be overwhelmed in one common rain*. •What!* says a free traded *can't they stand with 20 per cent. Protection?' My good will you not see that a horizontal duty sir, gives them no Protection whatever? There is a duty of 20 per cent, on Paper, it is true, but there is also a duty of 20 per cent, on Rags and other materials, while the domestic article is twice as high as the foreigner has to pay. In other words, the American Papermaker will pay as much duty on his stock as the foreigner will pay on his Paper,and then have to pay workmen a dollar a day white bis European rival paystwenty-five cts. The result is inevitable ruin—the 20 per cent, horizontal duty affording no protection whatever.
