,, BULLS.—The State Sentinel's anxiety' to discover bulls in the President's Message, causes it to overlook such things iti its own columns. Speaking of Dr.

F.llis, in a late number, it says, "he always calls whon he comes." As there is no Telegraph we can justly attribute this to, we suppose some unlucky compositor will hnVo to bear it. We congratulate the Sentinel for having so good a friend, who "always calls when he comes."

ACCIDENT.—We regret to learn that Mr. GEORGE C. DUY, a young gentleman of this place, was badly wounded on Thursday morning last, by the accidental discharge of a gun in the hands of his brother. The contents of the gun were lodged in the back pnrt of the shoulder, causing a wound that must be painful, but one that is not considered dangerous. A slight variation in the direction of the gun, in all probability, would have been fatal. It was a narrow escape, and those who handle loaded guns should take warning to handle them carefully.

WABASH & ERIE CANAL LANDS.—By reference to advertisement, it will be seen that the Trustees of the Wabash

Letter from the Editor. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 15,1850. The Legislature has resolved to adjourn on Monday, the 21st inst. Both Houses are hurrying on business. The lower House yesterday resolved to meet at and o'clock-for the balance of the time,instead of 9 and 2 o'clock as {heretofore. There is much doubt about whether the Convention bill will pass, or whether there will be any Convention, after all. The Senate is two to .one in favor of leaving the people to judge for themselves as to whom they may select as delegates, while the House is two to one in favor of restricting and excluding all office-holders from eligibility.

A joint resolution Was introduced nvo days since by Mr. Sherrod, of Orange county, lor the preservation. as it was called, of the republican government. The resolution declared Gen. Taylor unworthy of public conlidcnce—severely denouncing him for the removal of General Lane, &c.

A case of smnll-pox has occurred at the Palmer House in this place, and has so alarmed members and others that the hotel is nearly deserted. Members are not only leaving the house but also preparing to depart from the town—and it is doubted whether there will be a quorum in either branch of the Legislature by Saturday nc.xt.

The Whigs of the Legislature, with such others as happened to be present from different parts of the Stale, held a fleeting in the Hall of the House a few evenings since. A committee was appointed to draft resolutions for an adjourned meeting this week. The Whigs will organize in good earnest for the coming season.

The Harrisburg Keystone notices the erection, in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, of an ingenious timesaving machine. It is called "the Vox Populi, or Legislative telegraph." Its practical operation is thus described.— The introduction of a similar machine into the lower House of Congress would greatly facilitate its business: "By this invention the members are all enabled to vote at once, by the use of wires which pass front their desks through the floor of tho hall, and, con-

Weare glad that the Republic has so soon made the Democracy feel its power, and we hope it will continue to deal with them as they deserve, even if it should stir up the ire of the Union and the Democratic members. The Union has been frantic since the defeat of Gen.Cass, towards everything that savors of Whiggery. It has overflowed with "scurrility" against the Whigs, ever since the signs of the times made it palpably apparent that General Taylor was to succeed Mr. Polk in the Presidential chair. If such language was ever appropriate in any quarter.it is exceedingly so, when applied to the Union itself, for it has "lampooned and blackguarded" the highest officers of our government, as though they were serfs or felons. Its articles denote the most inveterate political hatred of Whigs, while its language corresponds with the violence of its hatred. Since it made the unprincipled declaration, that "no matter what face the future may wear," it will oppose the administration, we can look for nothing else than unmeasured abuse and condemnation. It may take this privilege but when it comes to bridling another press from the freedom of comment upon the actions of Democra cy, it is time to examine the authority that commands it.

CONGRESSIONAL.'

During the discussion in the Senate, of Mr. Cass' resolution for suspending diplomatic intercourse with Austria, we observe the following remarks mltde by Mr. Clay:

Mr. CLAY said the made the other day by the Senator from Michigan to him to aid in this proposition,entitled that .Senator,, together with the respacjt he' bdfe tiim, and the long acquaintance existing between them, to a response.— Uissfwdrthy friend ha^ expressed a vet^r coofidfept exjte^tation that ho would succor and support him fn this mutter.

Mr. KING asked the Senator to give way to a motion to adjourn. But— Mr. CLAY continued. The Senator expressed, very confidently an expectation that he would support him in this measure. The Senator also expressed, in even still stronger language, a confident expectation that the people of the country would support him. Now, he asked to be allowed to say, that between these two sources of support the Senator from Michigan would derive most pleasure from the laiter. The proposition, either in its original form or as it is proposed to amend it, was a grave and a serious one, as are all questions concern^ ing the foreign relations of the country. The resolution is, that the committee be instructed to inquire into the expediency of suspending diplomatic relations with Austria and the worthy member before him (Mr. Hale) proposes to comprehend Russia. The resolution not only contemplates the recall of a representative from this country to Austria, but to force Austria to recall her minister here.— The resolution not only comprehends the recall of our minister, but actually sends the Austrian minister out of the country: True, the resolution was in the shape of a mere inquiry into the expediency of so doing, but why is it in that shape? This is no ordinary case, where it is proper to send a matter to a committee to be investigated, and the facts elicited and reported to the Senate. All the facts stated as the cause of this resolution are matters of history they are all fucts of an historical nature, and well-known to the Senate, and the proposition now before us should be treated in all respects as a positive measure to suspend diplomatic relations with Austria. Why, then, send it to a committee? He had every confidence in the

Committee of Foreign Relations and he would like to know the opinion of the honorable chairman of that committee. He did not know whetlysr that Senator had given the subject any reflection.— He had every confidence in him. But he thought the Senate was now as ready to vote upon this measure as it would be after the report, able as it might be, of the committee. Therefgre it was that this measure should be considered as a positive suspension of intercourse with Aus tria. lie had been surprised at the wide difference between the premises laid down by the Senator from Michigan, and the conclusion to which he arrived The Senator had depicted the wanton atrocities of Austria the inhuman butcheries practised by her soldiery—had portrayed tbe sufferings of the Hungarians, and their noble struggle for liberty.—

OF ANOTHER

REVOLUTION

MEXICO.—The New York Express has received a lettef from its correspondent in Vera Cruz, dated December 18th, in which it is said: a:

The diligence from the city of Mexico 15th inst., arrived here last evening, in the extraordinary short run of two and a half days, bringing advices from the capital no less astonishing than the suppression by the Government authorities of a formidable and widespread scheme of retellion, got up by the friends of Santa Anna, whofe aspirations to power in this country never seem realized again.

These were

from the Senator something far different. He expected that he would have proposed to send to that country some wise, able, and energetic man, to plead and advocate the cause of Hungary, and to remonstrate in behalf of the unfortunate patriots. Among other things read by the Senator, was a paper signed by eighty-three members of the British parliament. But what did those eighty-

exclude England from access to the court of Austria? No it was, that a man be sent there to remonstrate, and that Austria be forced to hear the counsels of Great Britain in behalf of Hungary. What is the object in having for-

he look upon them as unnecessary, and his resolution is based upon the ground of Austria's cruelty and Austria's butchery. We do not send ministers to foreign nations on account of the respect we bear to the country to which they are sent but they are sent there for the purpose of maintaining the rights and interests of American merchants and American interests. Are we, then, to abandon this? Is the commerce between that country and this to be given up on account of Austrian cruellies to the Hungarians?

The Senator had quoted from some remarks made by him (Mr. C.) some years ago in relation to the South American republics, and from them contended that he was bound to aid the Senator in this affair.' 'The two things were widely different. He had asked to introduce into the family of nations those countries, the people of whom by their valor and gallantry had achieved their independence. Was this a similar affair! On the contrary, it was a measure to biot out from the list of nations, so far as we were concerned, one of the governments of the earth, and that too by bringing home a charge. If Hungary had been successful,we could have recognised her independence or. if she still was struggling, we could cheet her on, and any thing would have been more substantial aid than what is contemplated by this resolution. But commence this once, and where are we to stop?— We are now called upon to exercise this power of suspending diplomatic intercourse with a nation, because of the manner in which that nation conducts her wars, executes her prisoners, or

reats what she calls her rebellious subects. Now, where is the limit to this tudgment of the nations of the earth? After a while we may be called upQ& to do the same thing on account of the religion or the code of morals of some other nation. Again, is Austria alone to blame? Is not Russia equally culpable? There were relations existing between Austria and Hungary that did not exist between Russia and Hungary thefeftfre^Rosfia'fi interference vrns voluntary and uncalled for. Nay, more— Hungary would have succeeded against Austria if jlasfia had not interfered she hod succeeded, and Russia came and crushed her. If the principle on which this resoluUoh is

out, why not try Russia by the same rule? Why not go farther and exclude Spain because she will not bear down the inquisition? The Senator from Michigan told ushe had ten years ago seen the young Sultan of Turkey surrounded by all the pageantry and splendor of his father's court. Will that Senator tell us if he was allowed to enter certain other portions if the Sultan's palace, where it is said no vulgar foot ever trod the rich carpet? Did he behold other portions of the palace, and behold the bright eyes and fair forms there retained? [Laughter.]

Mr. CASS said he did not hear the question he would like it to be repeated. Mr. CLAY. Did the Senator visit any other portions of the Sultan's palace where be preserved the beauties wbich were not allowed to be seen by common men?

Mr. CASS thought the Senator was more likely to" know all about such things than himself. r. CLAY.:-The reason of the question was, that it was supposed if the Senator had entered the palace he would be more likely able to answer another question*. Does the Senator know how many wives the present Sultan has?

Mr. CASS again repeated that that was a subject more interesting to the Senator than to him, and he left that question also to the Senator to answer.

Mr. CLAY said that this matter was spoken of, because who could tell but what this veiry course of life by the Sultan might at some future day be urged as a reason to break off diplomatic intercourse. The policy of our Government was not to interfere with European nations in their affairs. This policy had been recommended by Washington and by all his successors. If we interfered with one nation on account of her conduct, why not with others? Why not interfere in behalf of poor, unfortunate, suffering Ireland? Why notin behalf of the gallant Romans, who so long and gallantly fought for their liberties?

He had been charged with belonging to the stand-still party, and the Senator ^claimed to belong to a progressive party.

Now, the progress so advocated was not an universal one. It did not extend to the improvement of our rivers and our harbors. He was afraid the progress advocated by the Senator consisted in waging foreign wars and foreign conquests, aud in territorial aggrandizement. He hoped it would be long before the country would engage deeply in such progress, particularly at the expense of peace. The Senator says this is a great country. It is. But we should exercise the powers of greatness with which Providence has blessed us, with a.just regard to the rights of others—maintaining ojur own rights firmly, and invading the rights of nono^ If the progress which the Senator advocates be foreign wars, foreign conquests, and territorial aggrandizements, he thanked God that he belonged to the stand-still school. lie hoped that before the Senate would adopt a resolution tending to depart from the policy so long pursued by our country from its foundation to the present day, from the time of Washington to the last of his successors, they would pause and consider well the importance of the step they were about to take.

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Hole replied to Mr. Clemens, and remarked that the Senator from Alabama had convinced him of one thing, and had foiled to convince him of anything else that was, that the confession of fanatics satisfied fanaticism.

It will dress rived Staves in the most perfect manner, and challenges competition with nfiy other Machine yet put in use, or ev «n the, drawing knife of the Cooper. It possesses the advantage of lollowing the grain of thp wood, so as to leave the full strength ot the timber, 911 windiug and crooked, as well as the straight inspected Stave, and runs at tfie rate of £40 per nouriwhicb is as fast as an expert workman can examine and proper!/ pUqe a stave in, a,JWfch
