the individual toward whom his ire is directed. The gra^li^rpf10«%ht against mo by this puissant Editor* well as I can gather them fron^lwi^I^diog editorial and an article to a communication owr the sigMg&n.cf "Justice," which appeared in last Peek's "Coui||&" are, that I, a "young limb of the law," flPr spsech recently made at a political meeting, attempted to "un-Whig"

These, with & profuse spicing of Mr. Dowliog*a favorite arguments. such aa "self-righteousness," "bigoted illiberality," &C. &c., make up, I believe, the substance of his accusations,

In reply to all this I have something to say, but very little time in which to say it. I know not who is the author of the article over the signature of "Jostico." The first I saw or knew of jt was when it appeared in print. Whoever, he may he, I presume he is fully able to defend himself, and needs no aid from me. As to the epithets "self-right* eousness," "bigoted illiberality," &c., I have no use for them, and therefore hand them o*

Having disposed of these grave matters, I have a word to say by way of rejoinder. I attended the meeting wferred to, and made a few remarks, in which expressed my own sentiments, nor did I profess nor pretend to advance the sentiments

An atheist being asked if he did not see in the arrangement of the material universe evidences of design, replied «'no, I tee nothing but what might have happened by accident." Now let us for a moment suppose, all the events leading to the result nnder consideration to have happened without any concert or design. Let us put them together, in their order, and see how they will look upon paper. At the assembling of the Legislature, (art winter, the Senate stood 80 whigs and 20 Democrats. The whiga having a majority, of course had It lo their power to elect the President pro tenu They held a meeting, and agreed to support Mr. Collins, of Floyd, a firm and unwavering whig, and among the first, in tho Senate, in point of qualifications for that station. Now suppose that on the fnt ballot, without Any previous concert, every Democrat in the Seiiate happened to vote for Mr. Thomas D. Walpole, a man whooe prtfeesions of being a whig ate Hi kxod as those of Mr. McGaughey, ami the Editor of the Express, but who was in feet a kind of moogrel politician, neither fish, "fiadh nor fowl who had Openly declared that he would not vote for Mr. Smith, the whig candidate for U.

Messrs. McGetighoy, Parker and Walpole happened to be three and the notorious Kelso happened to be another, happened to vote en said first ballot, precisely as the said W LoeeftK** did, giving Walpole 28 votes and thos securing his election. It further happened

Upon the whole, it rather appears to me that these events are to be accounted for, much after tho manner that a certain wise bocofoco, in tho canvass of 1840, accounted for tho state of pecijHiiarjr embarrassment under which the country was then suffering, from the effects 'of the Specie Circular and the Sub~Treaeury.

In relation to the arrangement of the districts, his reasons were equally cogent.— The locos, who had a majority in the House, would have it so: and he might have added that they knew tbey eould have it so, because they had the tools to do it with, (s this a satisfactory excuse for his own conduct

You talk about "moderation," ultra whigs9* dps., and still you can opto the floodgates of your Wrsth, and pour your torrents of billingsgate upon the heads of yintr neighbor*. This is not all, you have bought to engenderlocal prejudices, and have appealed to unworthy passions, to do so. You have sown distentions among the whigs by Attempting to keep up a petty jealously between the people of the town and of the country, and between one class of citizens and another. You are now seeking to foist upon this district just such, a whig as yourself, Walpole, and others, of the same stamp and are clamorous in hia support, and so is every Tylerite In the District, so far as I have heard. Atid why Because that individual htre declared himself in fiivor of the Exchequer, if a National Bank could not be had and he knows thai it cannot, while Mr* Tyler ia in power. He at the laat session of the Legislature pledged himself to introduce a joint resolution instructing our delegation in Congressto go for the Exchequer, and he went so far as to set the day on which it should be introduced but backed out because he found it "an up hill business." He gives as his excuse, that he was in favor of the Exchequer if a National Bank could not be had: and now, all the Tylerites, knowing a

National Bank is out ofthe' question, because their leader will veto every such proposition, are going the whole for this redoubtable Whig.

Ho, too, acting inconcert with the Editor of the Express, is going about the District, and using every endeavor to excite prejudices against this county. On the evening after hit nomination, he made a speech at Greencastle in which he denominated the delegation from this county as "the renegade delegates from Vigo," but in hia speech here he ac corded to them the utmost purity of intention with words so soft that butter woold not have melted upon his lips. When in other parts of the district, he, this creature ofa packedcon ventioe tails the people that the question is whether Vim shall rule the district or the district shall tole Vigo. Whgp here, taking jRs tme of fli Express, he tfcfhs about **amall-beer politicians at county seats,M and the hmeety an* pwU§ the country people. Mr. DowHhg listena to his abuse, claps and applauds him lustily, aa I am informed, and a few others like him, and then puts his own version of it into the Express, and sends it off duly labelled publio opinion, and complains that others who express their individual opinions are attempting to manufacture public sentiment.

can endure all this, and support tins pretended nomination, they will need no "party physic, for tbey are iocurable.

The committee, however, deem it expedient to state some facta, in relation to the nature ofthe organization ofthe American Bible Society and its operations, which may not be known to many. They regrot to learn that erroneous impressions prevail in many parts of the country, in relation to the nature of this institution. Some have immagined that its design is to advanee the interests of some religious sect, others suppose it a money-ma-king speculation and perhaps other objections may have been urged. In regard to the first of these Objections, the committee presume no one will consider it valid, when it ia known that the American Bible Society ia an association compoaed of persons of every protestant, evangelical .denomination of Christiana: all of whom have united in a systematic ana organised effort, the object Of which ia to place a copy of tho Bible, without note or comment, withiti the reach Of every individual in the world. It is proposed to send forth, not a treatise upon theology—not a commentary upon the acripture*—but the pure word of God, as it came from (he hands of the inspired historians, prophets, and evangelists.—

In discharging the duly enjoined upon ua by the foregoing resolution, the committee do not deem it necessary to discuss the merits of the Bible—nor to set forth the happy influence its divine precepts are calculated to exercise, wherever it is known and read.— Among protestant christians we presume none can be found who will not recognize, inthe universal spread of the, Holy Scriptures, the surest and most direct means, of elevating the moral condition of man, and of bringing him toa knowledge ofthe truth* The patriot, for the good of his country the philaathropist, for the happiness of his race and and christian, for the salvation of the immortal soul all agree in placing their reliance upon the Bibie„ as the surest means, in the hand of God, for the accomplishment of their desires, and the fulfilment of their roost ar? dent hopes.

All are united in this grand and glorious enterprise, which, with the blessing of God, is to continue until the Bible shall not only be known and read in every hind, and in the langusge of every kindred, people, tribe and tongue, but its blessed influences felt upon every heart. The efibrt, however, which we are oalied upon to make, has for its object only the furnishing of the destitute, in our own immediate neighborhood—in our own county.

The ^ther Mjjeotimi to which allusion has been made, Will be .found, upon examination, to be equally follacioos. The plan of operatione is simply thus. The Bibles are printed, bound, and prepared for delivery, by the parent Society, and every auxiliary society receives them at cost prices. The Vigo County Bible Society is entitled to receive from the parent Society a sufficient number to supply all the destitute within her borders, at a very low price. There is a depository in Torre-Haute where Bibles and Testaments •an be purchased at cmU Any person coniributing any sum, becomes a member of the society for one year and a person contributing one dollar or more, is entitled to draw from the depository a Bible, either for private use or to beatow upon some destitute person as he or she may choose. The County is to be explored by individuals, free of expense to the society, so that every dollar contributed will be expended in the purchase of Bibles and testaments for distribution.—Thows willing voluntarily to contribute will have the opportunity of doing so—those unable tocontribute or to pay for a bible will receive it gratis.

This is the simple plan having for its object the universal dissemination of divine' truth and the furnishing of the bread of life to all who are io need. Will not all who value the liberties of our beloved country, which can have no sure foundation, save in the intelligence end virtue of oor people,'lend I heir influence in aid of this glorious cause Let our political and religious rights and privileges have for their foundation the pre* cepts and principles of the Bible and although, through the imperfections of all huaran institutions, wave after Wave of popular commotion may sweep over our land, and may seem to threaten, at times, to engulph oar liberties, yet the hopes ofthe patriot, the philanthropist and the christian shall not
