COUNTY MEETING. :f:.

large and respectable' meeting of the Whigs of Vigo Was held in the Court-Houae on Saturday last. The proceedings of the meeting will all be found in another column. The Whigs of Vigo are

yet

Bankrupt law may be beneficial to tins Country, and ougllt tfot to be repealed. It is said «that all the harm it could do, is now done— andt that its effects hereafter, under perhaps a 'i-t-gU modified fo*ro, will be decidedly beneficial. -. *f One of the modified suggestions, is to alter *r\ the law, so as to embrace

fJEUTBNANT G^N^M^oiu.. It seems now to be understood that tbe Hon* SAMUEL HALL, will decline a re-nomination, as tv candidate for Lieut* Gofernor—and a new selection will have to be made by the Convention, for that office. We have been pleased to see from several quarters the nam# of the ffon.JOHN H. BRADLEY, annouaced as a proper candidate for that station.— Mr. BBADLBY is at present a member of the Legislature from LAPORTE.r ^He is a sterling Whig, of fine talents, and ranks amongst the first members of the House. We should not think a better selection could be made. Mr. BBADLEY was honored by the Whigs of the.

Frwm Indianapolis we learn that the Hon. E. L. DUNBAR, late a member of the House of Representatives, departed this life on Saturday last. Mr. DUNBAR was a member from the county of Jackson—His remains were taketi to his late Residence at Brownstown in that county.Governor we understand has issued an order for a hew election to supply the vacancy, to take place on the 16th Snst. The deceased was of the democratic party—nnd most likely his place will be supplied by one of the same politics.,, &

The members of the Legislature have been a good deal scattered during the holy days— nothing we believe very material done—certainly no U. S. Senator yet electdd—perhaps something in our next.

EXECUTION*

NHM BEAUCHAMP, some time sinoe convicted of tbe murder of GEO* MICKSLBERRY, was hung at Rockville on Friday last. The murder it will be recollected was committed in Vigo County in July, 1840. A large collection of people were present at the execution.

The body we understand was given up to some members of BEATTCHAJCP'S family, and taken to Fayette township, in this County, the neighborhood of his former residence.

A "Confession" we believe has been made and published. MR. CRITTENDEN'S LETTER.—The letter of Mr. CRtTTENDEN, accompanied by one from Mr. EWINO, exculpating the late Harrison Cabinet from charges made against them by JOHN C.

Also, iagainst allowing interest on the fives and fifties, &c. agreed to. Mr. Bradley, ffcom' thd committee to whom had been referred a communication- on the subject, reported that there is no three per cent, school furfd in the Stpte Treasury, for the county „of, Cass the commiiteo was discharged. Mt

Mr. Hoover, from the committee on finance, to whom had been referred the subject of providing for the payment of damages to persons along the cross-cut canal, reported that it was inexpedient to legislate upon the subject.

Mr. McGaughey'explained the object of the measure. .} Mr. Parker moved fo recommit the subject to the committee on canals and internal improvements.

Mr. Ewing was opposed to the reference. He thought the committee on finance had fully examined the subject.^ The State was not in a condition to pay damages for throwing a few shovels of dirt here and there on mens' farms.

Messrs. Gregory and McQaughey sppke in favor of committing. The subject was then committed to the committee, on canals and internal improvements.

On metibn of Mr. Gregory, tbe vote was reconsidered. The whoU mattof was then laid on the table. V*. 4

Mr. Read from the committee on finance to whom had been referred a bill supplementary to an act to postpone the sale of delinquent lands for taxes, reported the same back, and recommended its indefinite postponement, which was not agreed to—'ayes 13, noes 33.

Mr.Dobson said to pass this bill would perhaps be wading in deeper water than gentlemen anticipated that it looked to him to be a virtual suspension of the collection of taxes.

Mr. Harris moved thaLthe bill be ref)srr^d to. a seject committee. Jfl. Mr. Collins offered the following instructions:

To provide for the extension of time at which Treasurers may make their final settlement, requiring them to make returns as far as they have made collections tp suspend the penalties for non-payment, &c.

Mr, Miller moved tp amend |b as not to ret?y *ra6KiWwnif itt4ho usual tirtffiToi^. Mr. West supported the bill as a necessary measure of relief.

Mr. Parker said taxes were not levied for the sake of levying, but from absolute necessitVj and for purposes of government that he*could see no use in levying a tax one year, to defray the expenses of the government, and then postponing the collection for a year. ..

Mr. Odell was not favorable to the bill. Mr. Watts thought the only mode of reducing the taxes, was to make close collections for we usually have to allow for deficits arising from non-payments.

Mr. Pitcher asked if this bill was not providing for an accumulation of tax upon the people, by postponing payment time after time until finally they would become so burdensome that the people would begin to petition for relief,
