their accounts iq that way—The cash only will answer as the Winter passes away, We have .been objiged to leave out much $? editprial as well as important selected matter, to make room for the Address and proceed* logs of thc.late.Whig Convention.

V| ^To the exclusion of much other matter we present our readers this week with the full proceedings of the Whig State Convention •beld at Indianapolis on the 17th inst. The

Add res? and. resolutions occupy a large space,

but we thought it best (o give them altogeth^«r*f?The uinjost harmony prevailed, and the whole proceedings Were carried through with a unanimity, characteristic of an undivided feeling in the one same good Whig cause.—

The meeting was ably addressed at various times,during the day and evening^ Among the speakers whom we heard, might be namfd Mcs«rs.

SMITH, BARNETT, BRADLEY, PAR-

KER and COLLINS. Several other names might ."be added to the list of speakers whom we on's^Jy partially heard.

The nominations for Governor and Lieutenant Governor so far as we have heard give universal and undivided satisfaction. The Hon.

SAMUEL BIGGER IS

too well known

to make any notice here necessary. He is a |large, well proportioned, handsome man. He 4s a good speaker, well versed in the various -political, and common domestic interests of ithe people of Indiana. His course as Governor for the last two years, has been marked by an unwavering and decided disposition to act promptly and fearlessly for the good of the whole people, unbiassed in his duty, by any party or sectional considerations. So far „as we can loarn even his political opponents ^concede to him the character of having pursued a high minded, honorable course '0 the performance of his various duties.

nominated

for the office of Lieutenant Governor, is also in person a large fine looking man. He possesses great advantages in an eisy off-hand-ed oratory, well adapted to his position as a member of the Legislature, and to the duties of stump speaking in addressing promiscuous popular assemblies. Mr.

BRXDLEY

is at res

ent one of the leading members of the House «f Representative*. He is,looked upon as a ^faithful and steady supporter of the great

Whig cause against the insidious attacks of Jour opponents, as well as at all times sustaining the rights and interests of the State and the people at large. He will, we have no ^ddubt, make himself known to our citizens 'through the several counties of the State— and where heird, will satisfy all, of his ability to perform the duties of the honorable statjon for which he has been nominated. ,jThe Convention also appointed Delegates tok National Convention for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency. This was an important step—putting at rest all idea of jealousy in relation to the manner of placing before the people proper names for these two high offices. Delegates are now appointed—Their duties assigned them, and instructions given, so Air as regards the first choice of the Whigs of Indiana for the high office of

PRESIDENT.

The Address as published from the Convention is an able one setting forth in plain and modest terms the great principles of the Whig party, and the true interest* of the people ©four common country. In short, the resolutions, address, and whole proceeding will be read with great profit and interest by our Ifrtends and the community generally*^ I

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT. Last week we gave a short abstract of the proceedings in the House of Representatives at Washington in relation to the impeaching resolutions as presented by Mr.

BOTTS.

this move Mr. Borr's has done no more than perform a promise long since made—and in which he believed himself justified, not only from the circumstances of the case, and imperative duty to the country, but from obedience to a strong desire as manifested by a targe portion of people throughout the United States. At least it has been believed that a full inquiry on the subject should be instituted by the proper authority. In referring to Ibis subject the National Intelligencer sars la taking the sense of the House on this question, Mr- Bom nas acted in perfect consistency with his public pledge*, and, in doing so, has done no mors than his duty. In determining against the proposed inquiry, the majority of the House were doubtless influenced by various, and, to some extent, conflicting opinions. The vote upon the question was by no means a party vote. It was voted against by those few who approve the conduct of the President in all particulars by some who are of the opinion that there exists just ground for tlte impeachment of the President, but thai, for several reasons, it is not expedient now to institute such a proceeding and by a larger number who are satisfied that no sufficient ground exists for even inquiring into the expediency ofihe measure. And of those ofboth parties who voted in favor of the inquirr, it is known that apart did so on the ground that it was due to the mover and bis motion, if not a matter of course, that, as charges were made, and inquiry into them challenged, the inquiry ought to be granted.

*4^ JfMEETMJYC. ^At a meeting of the citizens of Vigo county, held pursuant to public notice, at the Court House, in Terre-Haute, Jan. 21st, 1843, to dovise the best means of meeting an effort now being made to arrest any further Lettings on the southern portion of the Wabash and Erie canal, tlie meeting Was organized by calling Judge DEM1NG to the Chair and appointing T.

A MADISON

Secretary.

On motion of L.

SCOTT,

Resohod, That in the present depressed condition of the finances of the State, it is a matter of serious importance that the work should be promptly completed, and the proceeds rendered available, and applied to the liquidation of the most pressing demands against the Treasury.

Resolved, That the citizens of the Wabash Valley, have looked with intense interest and anxiety to the compkiion of the Canal, as it would open to them a direct communication with the northern Lakes, and thereby relieve them from a moat enormous and oppressive tax, which they haw borne from the first Settlement of the country, tn the charges of transportation and other -expenses upon Iron, Salt, and other heavy articles of constant and indispensable necessity.

Resolved, That the citiaens of Vigo will not prove themselves less public spirited than their patriotic fellow-citizens of Fountain, and other neighboring counties, in making sacrifices, (if sacrifices are necessary,) in sustaining the character and credit of tin Gtnal Scrip, and in otherwise rendering all naeesHiry «id *nd encourageeasnt to the contractors engaged in the work.

Resolved, That the cheapness of labor, of produce, and of materials required for the completion of the canal, bold oat stroog eoduoemsats to the legislature to urge on the prosecution of the work, aad that we shall hold it as a departure from prudence and policy to have the work now arrested.

Remhoed, That the time at which the canal is to bo completed, as specified in the act

Resolved, That the proceedings of this mming with the memorials signed by the citizens, be transmitted to our Senator and presentatives, with a request that they be laidff before both branches of the legislature.

The foregoing resolutions, and those which follow, were ably sustained by several af thdP gentlemen present, by a few pointed remarks in which the different individual interiiBts,

of the same act relating thereto, approved January 1st, 1842. On motion,

From the Baltit&toP American.

Waysnnd Means was announced in the House of Representatives recommending the rejec

tion of the Exchequer project, the question

was asked whether the committee had noth-

ing of their own to propose in its place. The peculiar friends of the President seemed disposed to complain they intimated tliat the course of the committee was factious that if the Whigs would not have the -Exchequer it became their duty to declare what they would have. To tneie Mnputations and complaints Mr.

a committee of

five was appointed by the Chair to draft a preamble and resolutions for the consideration of the meeting. This committee, consisting of L. H. Scott, Thomas Bowling, S. B. Gookins, J. O. Jones, and John BritUm, after retiring for a short time, reported to tho meeting, through their chairman, L. H.

the fol

and unanimously adopted: v.' WHEREAS this meeting have been informed that efforts are making to procure the repeal of that part of the act of tho last legislature, which authorises the letting of the remainder of the line of the Wabash and Erie Canal to Terre-Haute, on the first Kivnday in May next and whereas this meeting would regard such postponement of the said work as impolitic and unwise on the part of the State, and unjust and oppressive to the citizens of Vermillion, Parke and Vigo counties, and indirectly to the whole Wabash valley be it therefore. 0''

Why, then, should tfce Committee ot Wi|« and Means have made a different report? Why present anot her scheme To get another veto Did the gentleman wish to place the Whigs again in that attitude?

NVho could forget the earnestness'with which they had h.

told them he could not approve certain measures, and they poked them at him for the very purpose of getting them vetoed? and that IT waa not retptalM IQ tl}E Pre sident to do so?

Every ofTort which it was in their power to make, the Whigs have made for the purof meeting the President en a fairground, ps at the Extra Session they went too far in their conciliatory movements. The second Bank bill was passed with the especial view of proposing an institution adapted to Mr.

TYLEB'S

The recommendation of the Committee of Ways and Means for the rejection of the Exchequer was unanimous. That project seems to have had favour with either P&rty* When the next Congress meets, the Whigs may be in a minority and in that event Mr. TVLBE will have an opportunity to try his fortune with the party wboee favour he has sought to gain. Nothing short of the SubTreasury will be likely to Suit that party. Upon this point, we believe, both divisions are united—etnee it was upon this very point that Mr.

brought to bear against further letting* on', this important wont, and the inexpediency,^ *h® nursing mother of counties under existing circumstances, of pOstpon ing farther lettings, were plainly set forth

The following resolution, introduced WM. D. GRISWOU), ESQ. was adopted:

wishes. When these efforts

failed, by reasonof Executive capriciousness, the VVhigs were accused of a settled design to embarrass the President by sending bills for his signature which they knew he could not sanction it was charged upon them that they sought purposely to provoke vetoes. Mr. MABSHALL thus alludes to the position in which the Whigs wore placed

But here, here was emphatically a question of SUN render—a question ot surrender of the most important prerogative of the Congress of the United States.— Congress had aent a bill to the President it had been vetoed and Congress were told that any other bill proceeding on such grounds would be vetoed, and that they must take the law in every letter from the Erecauve. This was not a question of the veto power.— The question was not whether we should change the Constitution of the United States. The question was, whether in direct contradiction to their own principles and wishes, they should pass a law dictated in every crossing of a or dotting of ant by the hand of the Preaident of the United States? Ere he lefislated ander such dictation, let the dome of that Capitol fall in opon his head—1st the commerce of the country suffer ten thousand times what it was now suffering for want of exchanges—let the Government itself pariah. This was indeed a question of liberty itself.

administration. If Mr.

shall determine to hold on fo the Ex

chequer project, and exercise the veto upon the legislation of the other party as he baa done upon that of the Whigs, then nothing will be done on the subject of the currency until after the expiration of his term, ft may therefore happen that the currency question will form an important issue befon the people at the next Presidential election. Indeed this is altogether probable, let Mr. Trues take what course he will. For, if he should complete his retrogression from Whig principles and embrace the Sob-Treasury, for the sake of identifying himself entirely with the "democracy** in the hope of coming in for the nomination, the Whigs will only have the work of 1840 to do over again. The SubTreasury was rejected then by the indignant acclamations of the people and we |o not know that it has grown in flavor since.

The whole aspect of the remarks in the "Express** as far as the people jmay care for them, is "robed in sweet scowls" the disastrous contest of 1889, {disastrous throughout our State,) is "dovetailed" by windy pretences, into the Editor's conceit of the scope of my remarks delivered currente calamo, in relation to the claim I have alluded to, &nd made to "tread on the toes" of

It is confidently asserted that nothing can give the satisfaction and comfort to those who ahave themselves, or a those who are shoved by others, that this cream will.
