Reliable CorrcspoiHlriirc. The Slate Sentinel publishes letter from this fd ice, under date of June 26, nml over Ihe signa-

lire ol "old Riley" from which wccxtract the following:

"You may relv upon it thut N very considerable number nf whigs in Vigo will riot support Tay1or. Dille, Gluzier &. Co. are out against liim •openlv. Hut liy far the larger number nf the bolter* will not be heard of until the ballot* nre vounted. They will say nothing in the meantime, but will quietly pivn iho ticket the go-by."

We nre sorry to tlnnli nwoy the lilt la comfoit

the above afforded the Sentinel and ils reader*, by saying that the first of the firm named has given in hia adhesion to the "man of the people1'

long a so, and that the second will do *o in hia

imn time—at all event*, ho cannot support the Tedera! or Harnburner'* randidale upon any condition*. Wo don't know the Co," or we would

call upon and have their or his denial of the charge, not that it is of much importance, only we

dislike ilia Sentinol to gammon it* render* so. Another paragraph from this letter is a* follows:

"I am happy In assure you, that the democrats of Vigo are united for the support of CUM and Duller. With the exception of one man, who will not support (7ns* on personal grounds, I io nut know of a democrat among n* who will not give an enthusiastic support to the ticket.''

This bring* down lite democratic opposition to Cass in Vigo, to quilo a small number compared

with what really exists but the writer should have ndded that thi* one democratic opponent, will not only not go for Cass, hut is enthusiastic in favor of Taylor, and will carry many others with him. We shall not name the democrats of Vigo whom

we know to be for Taylor, for they don't wish to lie publicly named, but wo will say to the Scntine|, if we don't mis* our guess vastly, tho writer

of the letter himself, will scarcely do more than vote the Cas* ticket, liecausohe love* Van Buren

best, and knows Taylor to tm an honest old man that will make a good President.

If the Sentinel or it* correspondent* wish to manufacture a public opinion for ejfeel, they ought

not to make Vigo the soil to operate on, for (he comfort gained from this quarter in such a way,

will not last long enough to enjoy.

Common Schools.

On Snturday last, upon a very shirt notice, Judge Kinney addressed a* many of our citizens

nt the Court House a* could bo got together.— We wera sorry that our business at the time pre

vented our attendance, but wo have heard it expressed that the short address must have convinc

ed every hearer, of the propriety nnd feasibility of Free Common Schools* It can Iw shown thai

the taxes will be so small as to affect none op

pressively—in fact, we believe a plan can to adopted to tesstn the taxes. For one, we aro en

tirely willing lo pay a small amount for the general diffusion of knowledge, a* free institutions

can only be propeily maintained by the intelligence nf the masses, and as ignorance i* banished, vice

and crime decrease in a proportionate ratio. We want every man to know how to make out his

own Imllot, and to le ab's to prevent any ini|osition, whether in a trade o- si the poll*.

Foreign H'otvs

The advices in another column forbode the

downfall of republicanism in Prance, and the el

evation of an Emperor in the person of Prince I.ouis Napoleon. Fears have ever ln-en enlci-

tained on this side of Ihe water, that France would fail to establish a permanent fret government

•lid these fears are now almost a sad reality. We know nothing of the civil or military his

tory of this aspiring young Bonaparte—to main

tain his station however, at the head of the French nation, he must able to lead her armies as well

as control the Cabinet he must be able to attach his soldiers to him as did the "Ureal Captain" or

his days of supreme power will be short-lived. As Emperor, the younger Napoleon musl expect to

fight his way to the tbrone, and Sight to rrtain it, and of course Europe will again be one vast thea

tre of war. We hop* for the heat until the next

foreign arrival shall relieve all suspenae.

M*». Os*. Pitiow.—Some friend has sent us the delence of this gentleman before the Court

of Inquiry, in which we perceive the General is

very severe upon N. P. Ttist, Capt. Hitchcock

and others. Tbe defence evino* much ability,!

and the various charpe. ate handled in a masterly

manner. We shall be satisfied if th« pamphlet convinces the public that Gen. P. is "more sinned

•gainst than ainning." as in all caar* nojudgment should be pronounced until the whole truth is

spread before the country. So Ear, we have had

time to give the defi nee only a hasty acanning.

Brouch, Esq., has accepted the appointment ol President of the Madiaon ami Indianapolis Rail

TOWS-HALL. July H, 1848.

At a regular meeting of the Common Council, present Mm. S. B. Gookin*, Edwards, J. H.

Turner, Hamilton, fiaat, Britton, Nay lor, Uaato and Fairbanks. The state of the treasury was, Town Hall fund,

$82,25 School do. $S.V2 General do. $331,96 Uncurrent bills, $21,00.

The duplicate tax list for 1848 (amounting to $1250) was presented, and referred for examina

tion and correction to Messrs. Canto and Gookins. The sexton reported five interments for June, of which four were adults—two, cases of consump

tion.

Jabez 8. Casto, Chairman of the committee, refiorted a contract for a Market House lot in the

northern part of the town, which contract was

ratified by the Board. (Said lot was hnugbt of Thos. C. Clayton for $640—$200 cash, and $340 payable the 1st day

of Januaiy next. It lies just north of Blinn's properly, and extends from Market to Fourth 8t.,

80 feet liont on either street—the title is said to

be indisputable.) One half of the fines lately obtained airainst Nelson Bass ami Kinchcn Roberts, for suffering

their teams to run away in the streets, under extenuating circumstances was remitted. They aie

to pay only $5,00 and coals, each. The complaint present by Michael Riordan,

was referred to a Committee.

An order was adopted requiring, that when bill* against the town are presented by persons owing delinquent taxes, if passed, such claims

shall be applied first to the liquidation of such

delinquencies, and the balance only paid over to claimants.

A bill from Me**rs. Miller, Baird & Co., was referred to Messrs. East and Naylor.

Spcciul IBi'Clitip, JULT 6, 1848.

Members present as before. On the suggestion

of the Attorney, a fine against John Fitzgerald wo* reduced lo $10 and costs.

At this session it was ordered that Market street between Chesnnt and Oak, be graded, and Messrs.

Drition and J. D. Early were appointed to appraise the lot* on *aiJ street between said points,

as is required by the charter, for the purpose of as •essing a tax to defray tho expense of said grad

ing, upon which J. S. Casio is the superintendentMr. Britton was appoinied lo examine ond re

port upon the condition of the streets from Brad'.'a corner around to Dr. Blake's corner, and so on up 4ih street to Cliesnut, and to confer with citi

zens interested upon tho subject of grading said

streets.

Certainly, Major. We did not know lhat you would lako our advice to yourself, or we would

not have given it—we seldom offer advice to older

men than oarself. But if you are a whig, how comes it lhat any encouragoinent has been given for the establishment of another paper at your

town! And why do you call upon "brother barn

burners" to meet weekly! We havo no Bornburner Whigs—no "Tea Party" whig* down here. We are all for that "Mexican whig" OLD

with a preponderance of votes from free soil, he

John, it must be Cass or Taylor, and con't a man

of your good sense decide between theso two!

TIIK FIHK SrtiKAiis !—A Harnburner meeting has lately been held in Cincinnati, which was numerously attended, and cnthusiatic—all locos with only one exception. They repudiated the Dultimore Convention, nnd approved tho Ulica nomination. So Mr. Van Duren will have an electoral ticket in Ohio. The Atlas says:

They declare iheir positions on the slavery question lo lie 1. No interference by the (ii'ueral government with slavery in the Stntesj 2. No encouragement to or establishment ol slnvery by thnt Bovernment 3. No sluve territory 4. No more slave iStntrs. They also declare in favor of giving limited portions of tho public domain to actual settlers without price, and in favor of the election of postmasters by the |eople. These were all passed unanimously—some of them wilh enthusiasm. A rei-olulion hiuhly complimentary to John Van liuren, nnd inviting him lo visit Ohio, was passed by acclamation.

Being a litile poor in purse, we lclieve we would "go in'1 for lhat "free farm" proposition.—

USCIK SAM has quantities ol laud that wants settling by industrious men.

FIRE CRACKERS.—Any person who was in Terre-Haute about the 4th of July last, must have

noticed how greatly in use were fire-crackers in

the hands of the boys, and what an intolerable nuisance they were. Until midnight on the 3d, no one near the square could sleep, and a concert

at the court house was materially disturbed. On the 4th, the public ceremonies were interfered with

by pestilent pops from these things, and teams of

horses were in danger every moment. Can any thing be done to abate such things hereafter? If

nothing else, cant the "city fathers'' make some kind of an ordinance that will reach the difficulty?

\V« really think that fire-crackers are of no utility whatever, and <never will be>, and the sooner their use is dispensed with, the better for all concerned. =======

Foreign Ifctrs by the Cambria. FRANCE—THE NAPOLEON RIOTS. The greateat excitement has been caused both in the assembly and among the people by the elecliua of Prince Louis Napoleon to the Assembly.

It seems that til Paris even he was not started as a candidate until the day previous to the election, and then in such an ambiguous and unauthorized manner, that no one knew really whether he was a candidate or not. His name was not included in the ordinary lists, and the clubs marie no open efforts to support him and yet, in spile of all these disadvantages, he has been elected the peasants in the provinces rushed by thousands to place his name in the urn, and. in short, he has roused a feeling throughout France which must be put down, and put down effectually, or all'the hopes of a Republic must speedily be overthrown.

As soon as the Government perceived this most unexpected re-action, evinced most incontrovertibly by the ballot and universal suffrage they assembled instantly

der sitting intide and distributing it from the door. LETTER OF LOUIS NAPOLEON.

Paris was filled with troop?: and it is raid that now there are not fewer than one hun-i Mobile, who had arrived to the support of

rfred thousand troops of the line in the French capital. Attraupeirunts have faken place every night this week, in spite of the new law.

Whether under the pressure of apprehension or patriotism, the National Assembly displayed at first a noble feeling. The most eloquent denouncements of all tyrants and dictatorships, seen clearly in '.be perspective, burst from many members.

The popular feeling out of doors is evidently divided. The.cties of "Vive la Reptiblique" are answered, nnd sometimes drowned, in shouts of "Vive I'Empereur," "Vive Bonaparte."

On Monday, when the news wss circulated that Louis Napoleon had actually arrived in Paris and was about to take his seat, the crowds assembled were very great.

The contagion has, we leel sure, spread to some of the troops, and. certainly, a large portion of the National Guards, and cries of "Vive Napoleon" have come from more than one regiment.

Oil lhat day a sort of vote of confidence was proposed to the Execulive, taken upon the question of an allowance of 100.000 francs per monih for the expenses of the Executive, partly in fact, secret service monev.

Lamartine mounted the tribune, pale as ashes, and demanded the instant passing of a decree keeping in force the law of 1832, Bgainst Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. While lie was speaking, a shot WHS fired outside the building, and shouts of "Vive I'Empereur" were heard. Lamartine sat down overw helmed.

One of the National Guard has been shot in the stomach. This incident, whether accidental or pre-arranged, Lamartine adroitly converted to his purpose, by declaring that the first blood which had been shed was shed in th» cause of despotism, and not bv the Republic and the decrce was sanctioned by general acclamation.

THE BONAPARTE MANIA. The chief subject of discussion in political circles, and the source of serious alarm lo tlie Republican parties, is the diffusion of the spirit of imperialism throughout the country, but more especially in the army. Several regiments have shouted "Vive I'Empereur!" Manv more have cried "Vive Louis Nnpoleon!" When the name of Louis Napoleon was announced from the steps of the Hotel tie Ville, the military who were on the place raised their caps on tha lops of their bayonets in token ol exultation. The

quay at the entrance to the Assembly is daily

crowded with "Invalids and soldiers of the

empire, forming a lane through which the

representatives enter, waning lo salute the

first appearance of Prince Louis. Brochures

are distributed in the streets at a nominal

price, giving the biography of Lotus Napole-

HIS FINAL

ADMISSION TO

THE AS

SEMBLY.

On the evening of Tuesday the Nations! Assembly, by a large majority, stultified their vote of the previous dav. when they confirmed ihe exile of Louis Napoleon, and now revoked it, and declared (bal h" should be admitted as a member of the National Assemblv.

Ledru Rollin opposed this proceeding but the majority prevailed. In consequence of this vote, Louis Napoleon is admitted to take his sest, subject, however, to prove that he is a French citi*en.

The Assembly separated at quarter past six. in extraordinary agitation. it is said tbat Ledru Rollin immediately resigned, and that Lamartine would follow his example. It is said that a triumvirate of Marrast, Billault and Cavaignac is being formed, hut this is mere conjecture. At Ardennes a proclamation has been issued calling upon the people to rush to arms, and to place Loois Napoleon oil tbe throne.— However, before it comes to that, there will he a struggle for supremacy between tbe Legitimists and the Bonapartists.

Thiers. Odillon Barrot, B«rryer, and Duvergier de Haumnae voied in flavor of Louis Napoleon.

On Wednesday Paris was qoiel, tbe people bad triumphed. Louis Napoleon was expected hourly in Pari* to take his seat.

A meeting of the Representatives was held, to request Lamartine, Arago and Garnier Pages to remain in the Government, even should Ledru Rollin retire.

At the last accounts, notwithstanding tbe it defeat, the Executive Commission aull

kepi their grobmh On the 15th instant (lie Assembly was discussing a proposition for declaring Algeria an integral part of France. Paris was tranquil.

The walla were, on the 15th, stuck over with a placard bearing no signature, but recommending in strong terms the Assembly to dismiss the Government and the Ministry, and to confer a dictatorship on M. Causeidiere.

OPPOSITION TO THifcRS. The excitement caused among the otlra Republicans by the return of M. Thiers into Paris, has produced a manifestation against him of a serious character. About 9 o'clock on the night of the 8th inst, a large mob proceeded from the Boulevard to the Palace St. George, in which his mansion is situate, crossed the iron palisading by which it is surrounded, and would have forced their way into the house, and committed possibly far ther outrages, but for the arrival of a body of National Guards, by whom they were expelled and driven to some distance. It was II o'clock, however, before the crowd finalIr dispersed. A strong body of the Garde

the National Guards, bivouacked on the Place St. George.

DIPLOMATIC APPOINTMENTS. Colonel Demesme Is appointed Comman-der-in-Chief of the .Garde Mobile of Paris M. William Tell Poussin is appointed En voy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary of the Republic of the United Stales of America.

Lntcst Foreign News. The State Journal of the 10th, contains

Telegraphic despatches as follows: BOSTON, July 8, 1848. Buena Vista Express reached Boston with the Caledonia's news. Arrived at Halifax nine o'clock Thursday evening. The United Slates mdne passage out thirteen days—Hibernia fourteen days.

Consols at London on the 23d June, 813

Paris is still animated. The resignation of Prince Louis Napoleon postponed the trouble. There are six candidates for the Presidency in the field—Messrs. Lamartine— Thiers—Prince Louis Bonaparte—M. Marast

General Cavvdenac and M. Caussidiera, prefect of Police. The Orleans parly will support M. Thiers and the Legitimatists are divided between Thiers and Lamartine. As the election was soon to take place, little doubt exists that Louis Bonaparte will be the successful candidate. The mode of election has been altered, and the President, instead of being elected by the people, unless he has an absolute majority of the votes, is lo be selected by ihe National Assembly from five persons returned by the people.

Prince Louis Napoleon was elected Colonel of the 4th legion of the National Guard. A new pretender is spoken of—Priuce of Teuchtenburg—son of Prince Eugene.

The war in Denmark unabated. At a conference of the kings of Sweden and Denmark, tho Grand Duke Constantino of Russia, demanded the Germans to evacuate both Dutchies before negotiating—Y. Schlewig was given up—Russia claimed Holstien according to the treaty with the Dines.

At Berlin, five of the guards, in attempting lo disperse the woikmen who demanded work or money from the ministers, were wounded. Baracao'es were formed, and the people captured the Arsenal and distributed 2000 stand of arms and afterwards retired from ihe building.

SCENES AT JALAM.—A private letter lo a gentleman in Roslon, dated May 30th, stales that "Lieut. Hall who was under confinement at that place, for drunkenness, attacked the seniinel with his sword, passed him and started off upon the run The seniinel instantly fired nt Hall, the bal! passed entirely through his body. Several persons, upon hearing the report of the gun, rushed into the street and found him laying upon ihe sidewalk in a dying slate. "Capf. G. Galden, while on his way from Perote, 35 miles from this, slopped at the house of a Mexican in Miguel for the purpose of gelling water, He sat down and fell asleep. While asleep he was stabbed, and afterwards cut in several places. His body passed here last night, his face all cut up. At once, on the re-

Mexicans and taken several prisoners,

I am, dear s:r, respectfully vnnrs, LEWIS CASS. John Campbell, Esq., Secretary, &c, Philadelphia.

O* We always said that we could not edit a

paper properly without an occasional glimpse of the Sun—sonoy'a Sun, at Viocennes. Thai lasl half sheet informs us thsl "A DDITIOS L. ROACHK"

is a candidate to represent "Park'' and Vermil«m" in the State Senate. Our friend hopes, no

doubt, tbat this "better selection" may not be tubsiroeted, but may go clean through Tear and

Swet on the 7th of August, without dividing a vote.

THS C«OPS, RAJ*, fee.—Within the last few days we have had copious showers of rain, which we fear, as roost of the wheat ia in shock "in the field, may injure the grain. The harvest which has just been cut is very fine we understand tbe grain was never better. Grass and oats will be light—the prospect for corn is nrmarksblj fine roasting ears are just appearing in oar mar* ket. The pots toe crop al»o promises a fair yield —sweet potatoes, in amall quantities, will be reads for use in a week or so.

P««tmc.—The Stale Journal reports eleven hundred children in a Sabbsth School procession

on tbe 4th inst^ at ludianapr^i*.

Everybody praises 'Jnync's Hair Tonic.

And for the best reason tn the world, because it ts the only hope that the bald-headed can have of once more resainin the full flowing locks of hair, wtlh which nature adorned their heads in youth, which it does to tha admiration of alt who use it as direefd. Try It, all vou who need more or handsomer hair. It is the very thing for yuu.

Worms! Worms! Worms! *8

To remove those troublesome and danserous inhabitants of the stomach and bowels, which so often Impair the health and destroy the lives of children, use JATNB'S TONIC VERJIIFCOE. a certain and safe pre par*!

Ion forthe

removal of the various kinds of worms, dyspepsia, sour stomach, want of appetite, infantile fever and ague,and debility of the stomach and bowels and organs of ilisrestkrn. It is without exception one of the most valuable preparations in the world.

Hcnr Dr. Higby's Opinion. Dr. L. J. Hieby, Mitwaukie, W. T. November 1&IJ, writes to Dr. Jaytie. and savs: "Your Carminative Balsam, Hair Dye, and Hair Tonic, all eo well, ana the Balsam roes finely. It has saved maiiy lives this season. I had to get twice supplied from New York in September last. I shall want of you al least 200 bottles. 1 have on sate, and have seen tried many of the "crack articles" fur this Bilious Diarrhoea, which we are subject to: and of all, yours is invaluable. I could get to per bottle for it. if it could not be had for less, and any quanliy of certificates of the strongest kind.
