^^^SS^C^TA

FOURTH OP JULY.

It is something unusual for Terre Haute not to be all alive on the fourth of July. But on the present occasion, excepting the Sabbath School of the Universalist Church, we believe there was no general organized celebration in Ter-re-Haute on Thursday last ^any of our citizen* going outof town to Clinton, Prairieton, Lost Creek &c., where ex* tensive preparations bad been made for celebrating our National anniversary. In Terre-Haute the day was celebrated by the Sabbath School children of the Universalis! Church in handsome style. At 9 o'clock procession was formed into the Church, where after the usual ser« vices an Address was delivered by CBAKLES DEWEY, Esq. The Address is spoken of as most excellent. After services the children marched in procession to the beautiful grove fronting the residence of Mr. JAMES Rosa where refreshments were served up in excellent style—every thing passing off sgreeably.

Falling of Table Rock at Niagara Falls. Telegraph from Niagara Falls, June 29th, says: At twenty minutes past two P. M., Table Rock fell with a tremendous crash, which was heard for miles around. A carriage and six persons were passing over it at the time, and they had just time to escape. The carriage was carried away by the rock. It is stated that the Guide and some visitors were under the rock at the time.

THE PARKMAN MURDER. It is stated here, on the best authority, says the Telegraph from Boston June 29th, that Professor Webster has written a letter to the Governor and Council, confessing that he killed Dr. Parkman; but that it was not a murder, and praying that his sentence may be commuted. The letter, though long, it is said, does not give the details of the fatal transaction. It will probably come up before the Council next Tuesday. ~~~~~~~~

HosFoitD FAMILY.—This Family of Singers are now among us. From «i* vertismentin another column it will be seen they are to appear this (Saturday) night, with anew programme. We wit nessed their performance to a crowded house, on Thursday evening. Their style is somewhat peculiar, and although laboring under the disadvantage of hav Ing all the large windows of the Church opened, noarly every piece drew loud applause from the crowded audience

He recently visited our town, and at the solicitation of the friends of colonixation, left with us the address as found in another column.

We understand that the Whigs of Parke and Vermillion have agreed upon Gen. GEO. K. STEELS as their candidate for Senatorial Delegate to the Convention. This surely is a good selection, and the Whigs of that district should rally to a man in support of the nominee.

A CUBA SNEEZE.

The New Orleans Delta relates the following as one of the incidents of the examination of Lopez in that city:

As General Lopez was Handing his snuffbox to Mr. Preausa* a tall man in' the crowd reached over and requested a pinch. Th© General politely gave the bo* to the tall individual, who, handing it around to bis neighbors, remarked audibly—'Boys, let's take a Cuba sneexe.' ^The Invitation was accepted, until the General's Macaboy was exhausted, and the court room resounded with sneexes.

FOURTH OF JULY AT CLINTON. We have heard much in praise of the magnificent celebration at Clinton, on Thursday last. A friend who was present hands us the following:

The day was celebrated at Clinton by a large number of the citizens of that place and vicinity, together with many visitor from the adjoining counties. Between 1600 and 2000 persons were present. The ladies of Clinton and that neighborhood prepared a sumptuous dinner that was got up in good taste, and so abundant that after all the comfMiny was satisfied there might have been gathered up many ••baskets full of the fragments. It was a union celebration of the Sons of Temperance, Masons, and other citizens. Mr. Nelson, of Rockville, delivered a very appropriate and eloquent oration.— The Rev. John L. Smith delivered an address to the Sons of Temperance, and the Masons, suited to the occasion, well seasoned with wit, anecdote, and sound reflections. The ladies of Clinton, thro' Miss Haibway, presented to Franklin Division, No. 16, of the Sons of Temperance a beautiful Bible. Miss H. prefaced the presentation by a very neat and touching address, and Mr. John Whitcomb, (who had been selected by the Sons to receive the precious offering of the fair,) received it with the dignity becoming the occasion, and made a very happy response. The officers of the Lodge were then publicly installed, by Mr. T. Dowling. Deputy Grand Master, aided by Mr. Loring Smith after which the whole company enjoyed the dinner which had been so liberally provided, in good order and with the best oi feelings. We should not omit to state that the children of the Clinton Free School, with an appropriate flag, formed apart of the procession and participated in the festivities of the day. All was good—all was well done—the ladies performing their full share of the whole.

Immigration to the United States. A correspondent of the Albany Atlas learns by reference to returns made to Congress since 1820, that three-fifths of the arrivals among emigrants are males and that a majority of the whole are adults. The writer adds:

Now if we suppose three-fourths only of the males are employed, for two hundred and fifty days in the year, at an average of seventy-five cents per day and one hulf only of the females get employment foriy weeks out of the fifty two, at an avorage rme. sny of $ 1 per week we have 081,139,332 31 J, added to the labor capital of our country, (from 1820 to 1848 inclusive.) mainly by the labor of the hard working Celt—the untamably ferocious Irish, as Sir Robert Peel once characterized this class.

FOREIGN NEWS—ARRIVAL OF TIIE PACIFIC. NEW YORK, July 1st.

The Pacific encountered heavy westerly winds but

her

stopped since her departure from Liverpool. She was boarded at sea by the news Schooner of Associated Press, about 11 o'clock this morning. Her run to Halifax was 9 days and 11 hours. Heavy bets were pending in Liverpool, that the Asia would arrive on Sunday night. fc\

ENGLAND.—The House of Lords, was the scene of an exciting debate on Monday night, growing out of Lord Stanley's motion, relative to conduct of the government in the Greek affairs. Lord S. contended that the leading characteristics of the whole transaction were prevarication and dishonesty on the part of the ministry.

The Europa's news was published Monday, but had no other effect than to cause a strife and more activity in market. Sules 6000 bales Cotton. Market closed firm, prices unchanged.

FKANCE.—A great sensation was produced in the Assembly on Saturday. It is said the President will not accept of any modification of the sum he has demanded for his salary, and regards opposition to it as a legitimists intrigue to bring about a crisis.

The Cabinet it is said wou'd resign if the Assembly should refuse the salary demanded by the President

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate June 27ih, the consideration of the President's California bill was resumed. Mr. Webster said that, in his opinion, it was highly expedient to admit California now, and give her a proper position in the Union, and such powers as are necessary to enable her to revolve with the orbs of our political sys tem that heWlieved this to be the gen eral and unanimous sentiment of the country did not think it safe longer to delay her admission without looking to the alternative of her separation from the Union. He Considered the question of the boundaries contended for by the South. California would be of no value to slave labor. Her soil and climate absolutely forbade it. The disposition evinced by the people of that part of the territories had been to exclude slavery from their midst. VY as it not better, then under all circumstances* to admit Call fomia as she is? lie had no part in the acquisition of these territories. He was no prophet but it needed no prophetic vision at the time of their acquisition to foresee the consequences which must fol low that measure. These consequen ces were upon us, and, as an American he was desirous «f settling the difficulty in the spirit advocated by the bill now under consideration.

FROM MEXICO.

The Brownsville Flag has dates from the city of Mexico to the 26«h ult. The cholera had made its appearance in the city, causing much alarm among the inhabitants. The people, says the Trait d'Unton, are imploring protection of the Deity through their priests, in the different churches. The General Government has donated 110,000 for the relic of the power classes who are attacked with the epidemic, and a sum of $3,000 has been given by a private individual to the same laudtble purpose.

The most benevolent man we ever heard of, was one who had forty acres of land, which was so poor that be used to fence it in to keep his neighbor's cat tie out for fear of their starving to death

CIRCULAR.

FELLOW CITIZENS: I am a candidate for election as Delegate to the Convention to assemble on the first Monday of October next, at Indianapolis, to revise, alter and amend the Constitution of the State and as my avocations are such that it will not be possible for me to see you in your various townships, nor to follow the caravan of candidates to their several appointments, I propose to make you a short speech upon paper, and thus communicate to you my view* upon some of the subjects which will be presented to the Convention. is noi proper lhat I should state to you

There are ma ny cogent reasons in favor of Free Banks which it would be out of place for me to present in this circular. But a prefer ence for such over our

Looking therefore to the intellectual and moral qualifiations of your candidates, and the general features of the views and principles severally entertained by them, you must select according to your confidence in their wisdom and discretion, in those respects wherein they may not know your wishes and their fidelity to your interests when made to appear.

I am of the opinion that all our Judg es, and other State and County Officers, should be elected by the People. I believe, that, in the general, the people will elect their best talent to the bench irrespective of party. Such has been the result in Illinois under such a system. The two Judicial circuits nearest us, in that State, are strongly Democratic, y-)t a zealous whig occupies the bench in each of them. I see no objection that the Judges should be re-eligible, and I am in favor of such liberable salaries as will secure in those officers the first character and talent in the State and lhat they may be beyond the reach of private malice and humbugging legislation, it would be well, in my opinion, to fix their salaries unalterably by the Constitution.

I am in favor of biennial sessions of the Legislature, and am opposed to any constraint of law inducing hasty legislation.

Biennial sessions of the Legislature, general Charters, and a vesting of local legislation in the Boards doing County business, would greatly diminish our public taxes and expenses, and occasion sounder and more permanent system of laws.

Again, as the Treasury bonds of our State would doubtless, in part be the basis of our Banking operations under this system, and those bonds are principally In the hands of non-resident capitalists, the establishment of Free Banks in this State would occasion the introduction and use among us of a vast amount of

Foreign

Capital, which would stimulate

and sustain here a new degree of enterprise, enlarge our prosperity, and magnify our riches.

I am in favor of the idea suggested in other quarters, contemplating a change In our criminal administration. The Grand Jury System is a relic of former ages, upon which as respects all judicial proceedings, modern intelligence has already made vast improvements. But in my opinion the old English law was hardly more absurd in any one particular than in its Grand Jury. t» better com ports with the spirit of Liberty that every citixen charged with crime should be arraigned upon affidavit or information, and that be should be permitted before be is committed to jail or disgraced upon the records of a court, to meet bis informer and prosecutor face to face.

One half of all accusations brought before a Grand Jury are predicated upon private malice, and one half of all the labor and time spent by our Grand Juries is utterly nugatory and useless. If this tribunal was discontinued for two years, every citizen would wonder that it ever could have existed. The heavy expense attending it commences with the selecting of the men to constitutelhe Jury thence attends the summoning and empannelling the employment of a half dozen bailiffs to execute their orders into every nook and corner of the county the allowance for the time of this numerous body for days and weeks the arresting and supporting in jail of such as shall be presented, and shall not give recognizance, for weeks and months —the employment of bailiffs to pursue witnesses fot the final trial—-and of the counsel which may be assigned by the court to the accused—and finally, the trial itself, which in three cases out of five it ends in smoke. The records of the county of Vigo will show an amount of money expended in support of this institution—useless as it is irrational—sufficient to educate every child in the county.

found sufficiently justified in the fact, that the principle of Free Banking as at present understood requires perfect security for the immediate redemption of the circulation in case of failure, while the chance of loss is cast upon the stockholders and depositors. Also, in the fact it secures the location of Banking capital precisely where it is needed,and-to the full amount required by the business operation of any locality. And also in the fact that it places the location of such Capital above the efforts of political partisanship and intrigue.

The frequent changes been made in our execution laws, while of themselves, they have been extremely troublesome, have never, as yet, produced a system which was satisfactory to the people. There is a variety of opinion as to the most proper plan of administration in regard to the obligation and enforcement of executory contracts and whatever laws shall be permanently established touching this subject will be the result of deliberation and compromise. But 1 have no hesitation in stating my private opinions,^ have always been opposed to the valuation laws in the enforcement of judgments, because have early discovered that they operate injuriously to both creditor and debtor, and are calculated to deprave the public morals as to the ^ligation of promises. The law is the standard of morals, and a man will be ashamed to withhold from his creditor the payment of a debt resting upon his honor alone, which he would not scruple nor feel any compunctions to withhold if the law had declared it

to retain and enjoy the

property with which payment might be made. If all laws to enforce the collection of debts less than one to five hundred dollars were abrogated as to future contracts, I believe th6re would be hardly less crediting done than at present and much more paying. Leaving the obligation to pay, to rest upon the pure principle of fidelity and honor, there are few men who would withhold what was due from them, and the public morals would be greatly elevated and refined. Upon such men as should refuse to meet promptly the obligations of honor, public opinion would place its mark. Such men would wither under the frowns of universal disapprobation. An exception should probably be made in favor of decedent's estates, in order to ensure their timely settlement, and administrators should be required to pay all authenticated obligations against the estates by them represented. And in order that our commer cial intercourse with the people of other States may not be embarrassed, it would in my opinion, be advisable to afford a remedy in law for the collection of debts amounting to from one to five hundred dollars and upwards. To prevent op pression in such cases I would provide for the protection of every man's family by such a homestead and other exemption law as would be just and proper

If I were permitted to frame a code of taws for the people upon my own judgment, I would frame it in accordance with this principle, in the fullest con fidence that it would stand the tfest of ex peri ence, and grow more and more in daily favor.

In conclusion I will say that if you see fit to elect me to the office for which I stand a candidate, I will serve you with zeal, taking more pride in the confidence reposed in roe than in the office. But if, as many think, no candidate can be elected to office in tbe county of Vigo, unless be runs the gauntlet and election eons in every neighborhood in the coun ty, I will con ten myself to perform, as usual} tbe quiet duties of a private cut-

Attempt to Burn a Railroad Bridge.

TO THE VOTERS VIGO. The period for anew election of three members to represent ypu in the next legislature of the State of Indiana, being not far distant, and the lime having arrived when your thoughts are to be employed in choosing the persons to be clothed with that important trust, it seems proper, under the circumstances in which I am placed, that I should return to you my grateful acknowledgements for the confidence so generously bestowed upon me at the last August election. And, in- announcing myself a candidate for re-election to a seat in the next legislature, allow me to say, that, notwithstanding I have been requested by many highly respected and intelligent persons, to again become a candidate, that it is without some diffidence that I again consent to the use of my name in connection with that of other gentlemen. Having implicit confidence in your ability and determination to choose men who are capable and honest men who are not disposed to make politics a mere trade—bui men who have no other purpose or ambition than to promote the country's best interests, and hand down to the rising generations our republican institutions. These motives to do right, apart from all ambition, I hope will be accorded to me. As I have learned something from the experience of last session, perhaps 1 will be better able to serve you, if elected, than here* tofore.

FELLOW-CITIZENS, my object in laying before you this circular, at this time, is to exonerate myself from certain false charges that are now being currently circulated in different portions of this coun ty, which are calculated to not only misrepresent my course in the last winter's legislature, but to deceive and lead astray every man who is not conversant with the journal of the House of 1849-'60.

It is urged by a few persons, whose highest ambition consists in traducing and misrepresenting the character and principles of their neighbors, lhat I voted for the repeal of ihe law which renders negroes, mulattoes, slaves, and Indians, incompetent to testify in courts of justice where the State or white persons

My object in laying these facts before the people, in this plain and simple manner, is that you may all readily understand, at the first glance, my true position, that each voter may see for himself and not one for another."' 1 am aware lhat there are some, who having ears will not hear, or undestanding will not understand. To such I have nothing to say, What greater proofs can be desired of a man's intention deceive the people, or falsely misrepre sent his neighbor, than the fact that they have never so much as intimated to tbe people the whole facts in the case, readily admit that I voted against the postponement of bill No. 10, remarking at the same moment, to my colleagfle W. K. Edwards,

Esq.,—that

object

was to vote against ihe bill upon iis en grossment and final passage. [And be low you will find his statement together with that of Thomas Dowling, Esq., rel ative to the subject, kindly furnished by them'at my request.] Every man hav ing common discernment, or knowinj any thing about parliamentary rules

knows that a vote defeating the

indefinite postponement of a bill, or the laying of a bill on tbe table makes it no more a law than it was before the bil1 was drafted. Whether this omission, on the part of those friends who have been so very kind in proclaiming to tbe pub He ear, only a shadow of tbe truth, arises from ignorance or dishonesty, 1 will not "pretend to decide.

Now, in conclusion, I will only add that I do not come before you with a series of pledges or boasted bobbies to al lure you into my support. If you shoulcl see proper to elect me to a seat in your next legislature, I shall ever feel a lirely gratitude for tbe confidence reposed in me and if, by bringing to my aid the wisdom and wise feounsel of tboae wbo may compose your legislature, I shall be abift so accomplish any thing for your good, the highest object of my ambition will be fully satisfied.

In answer to that charge, ana other charges of that color, all I have to say is this: If any man will lay his finger upon one single vote given by me in the last winter's legislature, in favor of the engrossment or final passage of one single bill, repealing one section, or any portion of the laws of our State, in relation to negroes, mulattoes, slaves or Indians, I will immediately withdraw my name from before the sovereign people of Vigo, and say lhat I am no longer a candidate. And, furthermore, you will find, by referring lo page 117 and 332, of the journals of the H. R., of last winter, my name recorded in favor of the indefinite postponement of two different bills, to-wit: 1st—No. 74, "A bill to repeal an act concerning free negroes and mulattoes, servants and slaves," approved Feb. 10, 1831. 2d—No. 12, "A bill to
