Spirit of llie Whig Press Under this caption, a late number of the Brookville American notices the present position of soma of the whig papers of ilia Slate, as regards the next Presidenay. Of the papers here, it kas the following: "The 'Cornier' and 'Erpresa,' at Terre-Haute, are entirely mum. They are paper* of respectsbility and influence, hut their 'dogged' silence is still undisturbed.'*

If by "mum" the editor means to say, that we have not pinned our faith to one man and repudi ated all others, we plead "guilty" to the charge if, however, ho insists by it, that we have aaid nothing favorable to any one, we muat think he has only been a casual and inattentive observer of our articles. But suppose we had pursued the course of the American, but in favor of a name not tbe one it has chosen, we should only have been abused, perhaps, for not seeing and travelling the road it has taken.

Like some other whig papers of this State, the American ia for Gen. Taylor, but unlike all others, it refuses to listen to the pretensions of other distinguished whigs for the Presidency. Cither counties sent delegatea to the Whig Convention and approve a National Convention, but Franklin, unlike all ethers refuaed to appoint delegates and will not consent to a "National caucus." It remains to be seen, whether Franklin county or all the balance of the Union must succumb.

We have no hesitation in believing that the American ia for the strongest man in the Union, and one, if nominated, who will distance nil com petition, and for that reason, besides having avowed himself whig and a quarter over," we think will be nominated but, as the whigs gen •rally have agreed to a Convention, we dont like to take the straight-laced chute of the American. To be etplicit, and doff that "dogged silence" which it chargcs against us, we can sny that wo

are for

the nominee of the National Convention. We would like to see Mr. Clay Preaideni, but wo would not like to see him run in opposition to anybody but Van Buron. We dont want him to run if there be a tingle doubt of succcss, and as that cannot lie known, we believe, in good time, he will withdraw himself from the list—he has already intimated as much. Ho is too great and too good a man to be buffeted in old age, and his pereonal feelings have alwHys been and will still bo sacrificed for tho good of the country. Idolixedas ho is by all the whigs of the Union—possessing as he doe* the most exalted genius,' the most inflexible integrity and the moat ardent patriotism, none certainly is more deserving of the highest honors within the gifl of a free people, but with all thia his best friends will not urge his claims, without thero should be every probability of success

In the absence of tho name of Mr. Clay, On. Taylor likely poasesses the next strongest hold upon the affections of the whig*, and as ho has declared himself a whig, and will no doubt, still further declare himself in favor of whig measures, he will have our cordiat support, if ho is brought bofore the people, and endorsed by tho whigs generally. With him, we should not entertain the thousandth part of a doubt about success, and if tendered the nomination, hit election is certain. We have certainly been beaten long enough, and if the right kind of wisdom prevaila in our councils, the next race will bring victory to the whigs.

From the course of the American, that paper will be in an unpleasant predicament if its favorite is not nominated, a situation we should not covet, though it has been voluntarily chosen by Ike editor. We wish it a safe escape.

Thia is what tbe Tippecanoe Journal says

about that editor— "As we have heretofore had occasion to remark. Clarkson, of the Brookville 'American,' is rather an odd genius. Thouah at h*art a clever fellow, he is a prey to the most inordinate prejudices.— He haa queer notions of patriotism—and though professing Christian, and a member, in good standing, of a 'res|ectabl« Church,' thinks (he principle* of Christ's Kingdom, and the binding force of Hia injunctions, may beset aide with propriety, whenever those who have hold ol the reins of Government, choose to plunge the nation into War. He lampoons thow who differ from him in opinion, without mercy and aometimes even so far forgets hi marl as to present them in a light hardly warranted by the facta in the case.— This is a misfortune, however, for which he is hardly reeponsil-le. We have no idea that he means to do any body injustice."

I.SCTOBI.—-On Thursday evening last. Dr. E. Reed delivered an excellent Lecture, before the Atalantian Society of this place, and a fashionable audience of ladiee ami gentlemen. The "Seige of Troy," was the subject, and we understand the Doctor delivered a very interesting discourse upon it, we were sorry that our engagements prevented os front bearing only the latter part.

Tbe Atalantians deeerve credit for fitting up their Hall so handsomely, and thos entertaining oar citisens with interesting and useful discuseions. and we hope they may keep it up through this and every coming winter.

IT By the arrive! of the brig dtntap at Pet»aecola, later Mexican date* have been received.— The old Congress of the Cahforotas ha* been dieeo|v«d. The new members would assemble early in January.

It was ramored at Vera Cn« that the Mexican Cotntn&ioner* and Mr. Trist had an interview. There ia also a motor at Washington—how well founded we cannot say—that a OMirt martial has been ordered for iGeoerats Scott, Wonh and Pillow,

Distress!tig Accident.

On Thursday night last, as Mr. James Davis of this place was returning from tho Post Office, at Mr. Rose's corner, he met the stage going down second street to leave the mail. It seems from what wo have heard, that Mr. D. thought he could cioss the street befors the stage, and the driver thought he could hend Mr. D. without running over him. The result was otherwise, and .Mr. D. was knocked down by the horses and perhaps trampled upon and run over by the stage. Ho was taken up nearly lifeless, bleeding at the nose, mouth and ears, and conveyed to his family, and for several days since, it was thought he would die—indeed hi* death was reported as a fact a few days since. We hear however, that to-day, Mr. Davis is bettci, and will likely recover in a few weeks. We lienr no blame attached to the stage driver for the unfortunate collision which has so seriously injured a citizen.

Pitminix rut. STATISTIC*.—The New York Herald thus classifies the politics of the members of the 30th Congress:

Taylorites 60 Clny men 90 Polkites 21 Vsn Buren men 41 Cass men "2 Buchananites 20 Abolitionists ft Scott men 19 Dallas men 3 Nondescript 1

LIT* RAOM OKKGOK.—An election for Governor was held on the 12th of May, which resulted in the re-election of Abernathv.

A party of nineteen men had left for tbe United Slates by the Southern route. The people bad suffered severely from Indian disturbances several of which had recently occurred.

There had been no rain for several months, from want of which the crops were very backward, and the yield would undoubtedly be very small.

Liaos I,iw (.'m.— We notice that the Supreme Court of the United Statra has given a final deciston in favor of Mrs. General Gaines in the case involving io many millions of pmpertv in Louisiana—meetly in New Orleans. This decision make* Mrs. Gaines one of the richest persons in the United States.

A letter from Mexico to the Neer Orleans Time*, dated on the 6th of December, saya that the courts mania! had not been convened for the trial of Gens. Worth ami Pillow, and Lieut. Col. Duncan. "The opinion is, (the writer say*,) that the two latter will be convicted, and that the eeoten cea on them will be renr severe."

Oon FKLiow*.—We understand that a Lodge of this order was organised under auspicious drcninstance* in this place one evening last week.— Tbey will indeed be "odd Wlows," if they square their actions by the rale of virtue, aid walk by a plumb Une is rectitude of lite, in which, we hope each "odd"' SH will find a match.

Rldlculoiu Criticism.

We weie very much surprised and astonished, when we read the following in a late copy of the

State Sentinel. "The Wabash Expreaa baa the following hye-na-Jike allusions to the late Mr. Kennedy, in a notice of his decease. The Express ia guilty of more frequent meannesses of thia deacription than any paper we know of." "Mvsterious are tho waja of Providence, anu uncertain the calculations of man. It ia said that Mr. K. went to Indianapolis for the purpose of openine a road for further political honors on his tray, at Muncietown, he meta peraon with the small pox. caught the seeds ofdisease and went to lndiena|olis and died. It may be that he fell a prey tn his honorable ambition, though had he remained at home he would not have been aecure from the grim King of Terrors.'*

Heretofore, the Sentinel haa manifested some judgment and discrimination in its criticism and abuse of the E press. This, however, is the most pointless and has a less foundation than any wo ever met with in that captious paper. Is there an editor in Indiana with a thimble-full of brains, whig or democrat, that can find one objectionable word in our abort remarks upon the death of Mr. Kennedvt If iherc be one, besides the Sentinel man, let him avow himaelf.

Is it "hyena-like and mean," to say that the ways of Providence are mysterious and the calculations of man uncertain?

Is it "hyena-like and mean,'' to intimate (as Ira* ssid at Indianapolis,) that the deceased may have been trying to open a road for further politi­

cal honors? Or is it indeed, very "hyenn-like and mean." to suggest that Mr. K. may have fallen a prey to his honorable ambition!

Wc have some friends as well as relatives in the war in Mexico we don't know that any of them went there with a blood-thirsty feeling or from a love of human butchery, but all have an ambition to gain honorable names in war. Suppose one should be slain, could we not say with the greatest propriety, that he fell a prey to his honorable ambition, or if he had remained at home he might still have been a live? And ifthe remark is proper, applied to a friend, can it be improper as we have used it in the case of Mr. K?

We have thought that the Sentinel was occasionally troubled with a species of rabies canini, or rabies atsinini, which would break out when under some cause of excitement. Indianapolis has latoly been, and perhaps is now under such influences but like the boy who whistled down his fear when passing a grave yard, the editor of the Sentinel has kept up the appearance of a particular valor by attacking indiscriminately almost everybody, and we are not much surprised that the Express, under such circumstances, should come in

for

a portion of Sentinel twaddle. When tho small-pox leaves the Capital, the Sentinel will perhaps relapse into its former good humor, and

we

hope, will think as much of ua as formerly, whatever that opinion may have been. This same.number of the State Sentinel apologises for the appearance of that number of the paper, giving as a reason that' one of the editors is sick." This is a valid excuse and will be received as such by the patrons of the paper, but thoy will not extend their charity towards the Sentinel, if they find out, that while one editor was sick, the other was not sober, when he wrote the article about the Express, and if such fchould be the fact, wo can't too soon, and too strongly commend the well editor to the special regard of tho Sons of Temperanco. Above all men, editors should not indulge a bail guzxling appetite, as they aTe very sure if they do so, to make thomselves supremely ridiculous.

Although wo declare wo intended no disrcspect to the memory of the deceased, the Sentinel will, hardly be generous enough to give our defence to its readers. They will still be left to believe that we area veritable hyena—fond of digging up and desecrating the most sacred relics.

TOR TBE WABASH tXTKTM.

Jtfucaitipn-

What is education! It consists in at! the influences, which call into action the faculties of man, and give direction to his faculties when called into action, The term education is derived from a Latin word which signifies to bring out.— Then t^educate means to bring out the man.

In common with other animals, man is a creature of sense, and has his appetites. These constitute the lowest source of his enjoyment, and in their proper bounds afford him innocent gratification. Tbe characteristics of man are found in reason, in the pleasures of taste, the affections of a feeling heart, and the dominion of conscience.— To educate—to bring out the man—is to cultivate the intellect, to enliven the imagination and subject it to reason, to refine the taste, to elevate the affections, and to enlighten the conscience and establish its supremacy.

Man enters the world in helplessness and igno­

rance, and slowly are his capacities unfolded. He has not at first even the use of his limbs, as other animals have nor is he endowed with the instincts which they possess. But the Allwise Creator has more than compensated him for these seeming privations. His helplessness is placed under the guardianship of matured intelligence, applied to his benefit under tbe strong impulse of parental love. If he haa not the instincts of the brute, he is an heir to the accumulated wisdom of ages—be is an inheritor of the intellectual wealth of his species.

The human mind has various faculties or capacities, which are called into action by the objects presented to them. By exercise these faculties gain strength, enlarge, and are ultimately brought to maturity.

The faculties of the mind were evidently designed to act in harmony, and one great aim of education should be to establish the control of the superior faculties over the lower ones. That moil was not designed to live and die a mere animal, or sink below the brute, or become a demon incarnate, reason must be cultivated, and conscience must have the ascendant. Nor is man a creature of cold intellect merely. He is a creature of feeling also. His heart goes forth in its affections on what may elevate, or on what may degrado him. The universe is filled with the beautiful, the grand and the sublime, in the contemplation and admiration of which, the mind finds a source of innocent and elevating gratification. The imagination however needs the controlling influence of reason.

The capacities of the mind by exercise or indulgence gain strength, and in the progress of life, have their proper periods of developement. In infancy, tho senses are mainly employed. In childhood, when there is need of a rapid acquisition of knowledge, memory is vigorous. In youth, the power of affection unfolds, and ultimately matures in manhood. In earliest years by their proper objects the affections are callcd forth, and need to bo watched over and carefully guided. Nor can conscience too soon become the subject of cultivation.

This brief sketch gives an intimation of the magnitude of the work of education, and of the degree of skill requisite to select means, and apply

them in the succcssful accomplishment of this great work. In future numbers, after touching on the responsibility of parents or other guardians, tho writer niny discuss the means, and the right use of the means of education—the bringing out tho man.

Mr. Cookerly--Serious Charges. We notice a communication in the State Journal over the signature of "a whig," in which Mr. COOKERLY is charged with throwing himself into the arms of the Locofocos in the election of Canal Trustee. It is further charged thatMr. C. went into the whig caucus which nominated Mr. PITCHER, and pledged himself to abide its decision—or as he could not stay through all the ballotings for a whig candidate, that he committed his vote to the hands of another to be cast for him, and after this, that he voted for Mr. PUETT.

We are sorry to see this, and the article of the Journal is very severe. "It was mortifying enough that we did not have an entire whig delegation from Vigo, but as we had fu« thirds whig, it is still worse when an important election is on hand, that Vigo casts two thirds of her strength on the wrong side.

What are the reasons? Can Mr. C., as he is personally singled out by the Journal article, give a good reason for his vote? We would take pleasure in publishing his defence, and hope he may be able to satisfy his constituents for his late vote. If he has acted from the impulse of the moment, and has suffered his feelings to sway his judgment, and if he has good and sufficient reasons for deserting the party with which he has been always identified, we presume he will frankly say so, at all events, as he has been alluded to so pointedly, he will doubt less make known his views and acts herein.

The Indianapolis Correspondent of the Cincinnati Atlas says of this, that "the rival interests upon the line of the canal, crea ted dissensions among the whigs, which could not be reconciled. The odium and responsibility of defeat rests upon a few whigs, and for their conduct it is to be hop ed the people will hold them accountable.

Mr. Calhoun's Speech. This gentleman, universally considered one of the great men of the day, has made a demonstration in the United States Senate against Mr. Polk's mode of prosecuting the war, and as be was one of the annexationiata, his views will commsnd general attention. We have given his speech in to-dsy"s paper and commend it to our readers generally. Many of his positions will be hard to overthrow, and as Mr. C. has generally acted with the democratic party, in fact, being considered one of the great lights of that party, we think we could not have published at this time, any thing that would likely be more beneficial to the country, than his matured and deliberate opinion regarding oar unfortunate war. He believes that Texas might have been annexed without war, and be certainly has shown that such might have been the case, however mortifying such a thing may be to those who think the President has pursued the proper cooree and "nothing else."

D**T* »r BE*. STOBT, E*H.—This gentlemen, for m«ny years *n extensive merchant cf this city, and long tbe PntHenl of the Back of Lenitan*, died on Saturday night last, at a» advanced age. He has left a latge fortune behind him, tbe fruits ol a life of well directed iodoatiy awl commercial integrity.—jV. O. Pic. 28M Dec.

Mr. Lane earnestly urged tlw adoption of his amendment. Mr. Little opposed the prirtting in a foreign language because it wasji useless expenditure.

Mr. Kinney said, that by th? law now in force the farewell address o( Washington would be printed a|$o. To thishe was opposed, because he did not wishltosee it connected with a party electioneering document of any kind. He thought thi printing of the message in German unnecessary, for so far as his knowledge of the Geijroansextended, he knew it to be so in his'pivn county, they could read in our language. A6 a class they were intelligent and neeged less instruction in our language, than'many of our native population. He was willing the usual number should be printed in jour own language, although it was unnece|»rily large, the great mass of the people hiding read it, in the newspapers, before it jwas printed here. Had it emanated fromj a whig he would oppose so large a number being printed.

The Ohio and Mississippi Rail Road bill was engrossed for a third reading.

House of Representatives. JANUARY, 19. Mr. Kizer presented a petition for a divorce, and

Mr. Kinney remarked that one petition for divorce had been referred to the judiciary committee, and he had hoped that they would have reported upon it, especially as to our power to pass bills granting divorces. He was fully of the opinion that we had no such power. The constitution declares that the power of the government shall be divided iuto three departments, the Executive,

a„d

Legislative, and that no one of

these shall exercise the power properly be longing to the other unless especially authorised.

Marriage is a contract, and action upon it is a judicial and not a legislative action. Divorce involves matters of alimony and inheritance, and it is not contended that we can determine upon such questions. No case had arisen in our courts involving the question of the constitutional power of the legislature to grant a divorce, and that is the reason these courts had not pronounced such power unconstitutional. Still he would vote for the reference of the petition, for he thought we ought to consider the prayer of every respectful petition.

Petition was laid on the table.
