IIU.V. JUSK1M1 ILLKSPII:. A ccordi H£, & large number of our citiatena as«enibled in the Court House at night, to hear a speech (coin Hon. J«aeph Gillespie, of IHinoia. Mr. Gille*p»e waa almost an entire stranger to rlii» cummunitv, but we can assure him his bpe»*ch haa introduced himself to us with the most favorable impressions. Hia peraonnl appearance and manner at once commanded the respect of the audience, and he was listened to with profound attention, only interrupted by the applause his remarks would draw forth. He spoke principally »pon the Tariff, River and Harbor imprtvefiivut#, and Intervention. On the subject of the Tariff he proved conclusively that it was the interest of this country to protect our own industry. He spoke of the foreign manufacturer breaking down the manufacturers of this country, and then resuming his original Wgh prices, as is illustrated at the present time in the article of Ruilrond iron. Foreign manufacturers having closed nearly all the Iron Worka of this country, are now raising the price of the iron we use in making our roads. Mr. G. was very able on this point, and showed that some of the great lights Democracy had been in favor of the principle «f .protection But all at once, in 1832, it was declared to be wrong* and the greater portion of modern Democracy has "heeii against it ever pi nee. He commented upon those in the Democratic party who professed to be in favor of protection, and yet voted continually to put in high places meu who were diametrically opposed to it.

In relation to River and Harbor improvement* he made a dec toed Western man's speech, a speech that would come home to the heart of every Western man, and our only regret was that there were not thousands of people of th West present to hear it. He traced the subject down from the early settlement of the West to the present day, and spoke of the difficulties the first settlers encountered in clearing their lands, and raising revenue, while the mon.y they paid into the Lind offices for their homes went into ttjp t'rwrwt •*,a then appropriated toE xtern improvements, while the West was neglected. The people of the West were keenly alive to such neglect, and looked forward to the time when they should be stron? enough to get a little retributive justice, Thnt time Mr. Gillespie stated, had now arrived and he cabled upon the people to improve it. He considered that trade among the Western Stales and upon Western rivers was as much commerce as the commerce of the Ocean, and if the commerce of the ocean needed protection BO did the commerce of the West. If it was necessary to build light houses and improve harbors fc oeean commerce, so It was necesaury to iwpruv* rivers and harbors for Western commerce. He quoted from t'»e Journal of the United States Senate to show what had been the course of Franklin Tierce upon this subject. When preposition was introduced in the Senate approoriating $300,000, for the Kennebec, Prnobscot and other Eastern rivers Pierce voted AYE, but when a proposition was made by a member from Arkansas to appropriate only 8120,*00® to protect the Western frontier Pierce voted N.\Y showing conclusively that "Western interests need expect no favor frem him should he be elected President

wards which wo are now ao gloriously *d vnnciRj. Mr. Gille«pio concluded with ft review of the neritaof the two C^niiidat^ f'»r thf Pre»Idenry- He has b«»en a dt*votnl admirer pf Con.

It has been understood for some time that the Eaglish across the water are for Pierce, and now Canada comesin to swell the tide lit his favor. Wo see in the Washington Republic that the Inspector General of Canada, in a speech on reciprocity, dilated on the prospects of Gen. Pierce, and declared that if he be elected President, the prospect of obtaining reciprocity will be er.hanccd wonderfully! TU Dmocrdtkjxtriy, the speaker added, is most favorable to foreign interests and on that ground he desired the success of Gen. PIERCE.

Some weeks since at the solicitalion of my friends I became a candidate for the office of Prosecuting Attorney of the Sixth Judicial Circuit. Since then my attention has been directed to the sixteenth section of the seventh article of the new constitution which reads as follows: "No person elected to any Judicial office shall during the term for which he shall have been clected be eligible to any office of trust or profit under the State other than a Judicial office." On the first Monday of March 1851, I was elected Mayor of the town of GreeDcasMe for the period of three years. The act incorporating said town gives to the Mayor the power ami Jurisdiction ot a Justice of the peace. Two questions now arise first, is the office of Prosecuting Attorney a Judicial office! A:i 1 secorilly, do?s the section apply to Judicial officers elected previous to the adoption of the new constitution, or only to those elected under it! Without attempting to answer or discuss those questions, it is sufficient to say, that some are under the impression that I am not eligible, and I find that there arc those who would as a

no difficulty may occur should another become a candidate for the office. R'spect'ully,

subject which is just now occupying the public mind to a considerable extent in the eastern part of our county—that of prosecuting the continuation of the Wabash Railroad, from Terre Haute to Crawfordsville. as contemplated in the original charter to that company. The active operations now in progress on the Southern part of the line, taken in connection with the feeling manifested at the north in relation to the Wabash Valley road, renders it quite certain, I think, that these roads will be completed at no distant day, the one to TerreHaute, and the other to Lafayette; and it is equally certain that within the same period a connecting link will be formed beiween them. <Where shall that connection be made?> Our neighbors on the west side of the Wabash with commendable zeal, are adopting measures to form a connection on that side of the

It is not my purpose to institute any lengthy comparison between the two routes. But as the cost of construction and the amount of local business that would be drawn to either line, materially affects the value of the stock, I may say briefly, that in the cost of grading and bridging the two lines, allowing them to be of equal length, the advantage

river: Another contemplated route is, to extend the Wabash railroad to Crawfordsville there to intersect a road already in operation, extending to Lafayette.— This route passing through a part of Vigo, through Parke and a part of Montgomery counties, distance 48 miles, traverses a district of country not surpassed for productiveness, in the Wabash Val- ley. From Terre Haute to Raccoon bluff, the line would be over an almost uninterrupted level. After ascending the bluff, and taking the dividing table land beiween Big and Little Raccoon creeks, you pass over a similar level country to Crawfordsville and if the people on the route—the farmers, millers and traders take hold of the matter as they now seem disposed to do, the road can and will be made, and when completed, it will be the connecting link between the north and south, whether the one on the west side of the river be made or not.
