THE WHIG STATE CONVENTION, Which assembled at Indianipolls on Thursday last, was largely attended, by enthusiastic delegates, from all parts of tho 8tate. The best feelings prevailed, and the dormant whig feeling of every member seemed to be enkindled anow for the approaching cativasa. The Hall of the House of Representatives was too rroall for the multitude, and the Convention adjourned to the Ma9onic llall—the largest room in tho city, which was crowded to overflowing. The nominations will be found in another plncein to-day's paper. JOHN A. MAT TOK was President of the Convention, and'011 motion of D. P. Holloway, NICHOLAS MoCARTY, of Marion, was nominated by acclamation, as the whig candidate for Governor.

At tho session, in the afternoon, Mr. MCCAE.TT appeared before the Convention, and accepted tho trust confided to him. His fpecch on the occasion elicilcd the warmest applause. PLEASANT A. HAOKLEMA.V, of Rush, and HE^BT 8. LANE, of Montgomery, addressed the Convention, in tho afternoon, and warmed up the whig feeling to tho pitch of 1840, when whiggety swept over tho Union like the hurricane which bears away everything before it. Mr. LANK rapidly reviewed tho claims of the differ ent aspirants to tho Presidency, eulogised the administration of Mr. FILLMOSE, and paid a glowing and eloquent compliment to the eminent civic SERVIAN q[ Mr. CIAT, all of which were Vehemently responded to by tho large auditory present.

was well filled "witi paaScTtgers. The road is completed through, but that part of it lsid down in the winter time will require sometime for Settling, before very fast time can be safely ^nade over the rails. We noticcd hands on the road repairing and fixing all such places, and opening drains for the waleMo pass away freely. The road beyond Greenca tle is nearly straight on this side of said place, there are more curves, none however, short enough to prevent the speed of the locomotive, after the rails shall become solid. We presume when time cffecta this, the traveler from this placAin the morning, will dine at noon at the Stattf Capital. j_ As yet, but one train goes out east daily, and as that has the mails, and stops for all the freight offered, some time is lost to the traveler. Soon, we understand, & freight train will be added to the line, and the mails and travelers ill be hurried through with but few stoppages' -—leaving all articles of freight for the special train for that purpose. ...

For die present, there is some delay at tHe Depot at Greencaatle, waiting for trains to meet and pass, and as there is no dinner houso on the road at that place, the traveler must go through fasting, except what may be picked up 1 from the "apple girl" at the depot, whose small stock vanishes before all can get a nibble at it.

All of these things, however, will be obviated as soon aa matters can be arranged to meet tho public convenience, and when it is seen what more is desired for the public wants and comfort.

The train over this route seems to be driven ahead with much prudence and caution, and no accidents have happened yet on the line which could have been prevented. With careful and attentive engineers and polite conductors, the public can have no cause of complaint in any respect.

The passenger cars on the line are handsomely got up, finished on the inside with mahogony, and red cut velvet-cushioned scats.— They are very pleasant to ride in, a man can converse or read very pleasantly, and by the means of a stove, the coldest weather is never disagreeably felt. These cars were made by Ridgeway'a fc Kimball, of Columbus, Ohio, at a cost of $2,100 each. The fare to Indianapolis, we believe, has been fixed at $2,00 for each grown passenger—a price that must be considered very low.

Business on the road is rapidly increasing. When we returned home, three cars were filled with passengers alone, who numbered over two hundred persons.

Gov. Kossuth is a remarkable matf. He is unpretending, and seems (o be modest and retiring, and undergoes as many hardships now, we presume, us he did when he was at the head of affairs in Hungary He protests against the extravagant ovations that are offered to him. especially the expensive banquets where all the proceeds are eaten up by wine bills, feo., leaving no "material aid" for his oppressed country. These things he cannot help. We believe him to be patriotic and singfe-hearted— entirely devoted to the one purpose of delivering Hungary from the thraldom of the odious house of Hapsburgh: but until the Croats, Sclavonians, Magyars, and all the people of Hungary shall present a united front, we have but little hope of his success. We believe too, that when these twelve millions of souls shall be united as one man. they may defy Austria and Russia combined, and drive every hostile foot from their territory but the Catholic Croat would rather fight a Protestant Magyar, than unite with him against the common enemy—the crowned heads all around him. So it seems.

Gov. Kossuth'8 suite consists of him'self and wife (their children being in London.) Count Pulszky, his private Secretary, and his lady, with six or eight Captains. Colonels. fec., &c. The Governor wears a dress sword under a sack coat, most of the others are generally in military costume, with swords dangling at their sides'. '"T'This is mere pretension, and is in bad taste in a republican country, calculated to do them m\ich more harm than good One of the number is an Englishman, who is called the Treasurer, who carries with him Hungarian bonds in amounts from one to one hundred dollars, which are sold at par at their levees, hotels, fec. The proceeds are to be devoted tc the liberation of Hungary, and the. bonds are payable to holders one year after the establishment of the independent Hungarian Government.

To say the least of this method of raising the wind, it is only a genteel swindle, but Kossuth will deserve all he gets for the trouble he takes to obtain it ." We saw him stand for an hour and shake hands with men he never saw tfefore, and will never see again, and in whom lie can take but little interest, and some of them almost took off bis sturdy right arm. It is true, thatndne need buy these bonds who have no faith in them, and they can only deceive those who have the faith. Curiosity prompts a purchase of bonds as much as any thing else, and wo think the Treasurer drove a fair business in exchanging bonds for dollars while at Indianapolis. We saw several trades made, and took ourself. as much as we were willing to give away, whfether it went for the cause or otherwise.

We have made this article too long already, and have not told all we wish to say

own species particular. ^'3. Gov, Kossttth arrrved atlndianitpolts on Friday, in the Madison cars, and was received by the Governor at the Depot, and conducted at once to the South front of the State House, where he was addressed by Governor Wright, to which he replied in a speech of about half an hour's duration. The distinguished Hungarian speaks considerably broken, and his foreign accent makes it hard to understand him entirely, especially as there is always much noise, and bis audiences are so large. He speaks with his bat on, and never takes it off, except when he offers acknowledgements for a favor, or withes to impress his hearers particularly upon some important point His health, however, is not good, and the day we heard him was raw and cold. We will publish his Indianapolis speech in a week or two, that our readers may judge of it for themselves.

the whiff candidate for

Governor of Indiana. Alluding to this fact, the last ^Terre-Haute" Journal says, complacently,, that "he will do its well for the sacrifice as any.'5

So then, we are to infer, in'advance, that the old farmer of Ma»on, whose name is but another for honesty Mid integrity, is to be sacrificed. We are unwilling to concede as much: for we have very high testimony, that the race is not always to the swift, or the battle to the strong, and by the time the pfeople are made familiar with many of the extravagancies and reckless wastes of the party now in power in tbis State, they will likely conclude that a change of rulers will be the best thing they can do for the interests of all concerned.

Our opponents seem determined to act as if they felt well anyway, although many of them have misgivings that they are treading upon a volcanp, which will probably explode before they are ready for it. This kind of confident security can do us no harm, for it cannot avert the honest verdict of the people, when they come to consider how they have been served in times past, by those who still seek the greatest interest in their seven principles —the Jive loaves and two fishes. The "burnt offering" is to be prepared by the people, and when they make that selection we shall have no cause for complaint, for they will, doubtless, make the Wright sacrifice.

D- Alluding to the ticket lately put forth by the democracy of this State, Dr. Ellis, of the Indiana Statesman, and one of that party, utters the following: "For our own part although defeated by a combination of unjustifiable means and unfounded calumnies, we shall support the ticket to the best of our ability, and as the principle of rotation has been established, shall endeavor hereafter to aid in carrying it out. It is some consolation to know that other men—better men than we claim to be—such as Blackford, Drake, and Test, are bearing us company and it is

110

among all the accusations, malice or interest could suggest, there is no, charge of official negligence or incapacity."

Dr. Ellis wanted to be re-nominated for Auditor of State, and although his party claims that he was the best Auditor the State.ever had, they slew him without remorse. Other old wheel-horses of the party have been turned out, or rejected, from which it is inferred, the longer a man is a democrat, the worse he grows, and the less is he entitled to the confidence of his party! This must be a soothing reflection to those who have served that party much better than they have served the country. Dr. Ellis swallows the ticket without a grimace, we suppose, depending upon the virtues of "rotation" to restore him to his lost station, and well-earned laurels.: 1 ,.-i

tr Calvin Fairbanks has been sentenced to the penitentiary of Ivy., for fifteen years, by tho circuit court sitting at Louisville, for seducing and running off Tamer, the slave of A. L. Sbotwell. This is his second imprisbnment for a similar offence. He will not be pardoned out this tinje. we presume.

0^7" The Terre-Hautc Journal, which contains the official report of the State Democratic Convention, contains also a long article headed, "the weeping chamber."— Alas! how true. All the old standard bearers of the party have been thrown overboard. Blackford, Law, Drake, Test, Ellis, Smith— all, except Joseph A. Wright, are done for! The honest of the party might well weep.

THE Rivra.—Several light draught steamers have been at our landing since our last issue, discharging and receiving freight. The weather is pleasant for early spring—warm during Sunlight and freezing at night. Roads pretty bad, and the general health good, with some scariatfha among the "little ones."

It is with more satisfaction than we have ever before felt that we- are enablecl to present td the people of Indiana, the most unexceptionable ticket ever brought before them for their suffices. In point of character, ability, and real worth, it is all that could be desired by any people.

Long connected with the business ana agricultural interests of the State, he knows practically, what others assume to know without such experience. He is the very man that the real hard working, honest people of this State want and will have for Governor.

Great reluctance was felt by many delegates as to the nomination of candidates for the Supreme Bench, but, it was thought, by a majority present, that the plan adopted by the Democratic party, left .the whigs but one course to pursue, however unwilling they would have been to take the first step. They concluded to present to the people the names of four of the most distinguished jurists of the State for their consideration, inviting a contrast between them and their opponents.

shocking murder was com-

by a man named Cavanaugh, at Patterson's saw mill, near Minersville, in Schuylkill county, on the 17th ult. The circumstances of this horrible affair were as follows Cavanaugh became jealous of his wife. Having quarrelled with her the

same evening, he took one of their children, a fine boy of about three years of age, the fruit of her faithlessness, as he charges, for the purpose of killing it. Be forced its feelinto a blazing fire on the hearth --his wife remonstrated, and using her best efforts to seize the boy, he stabbed her several times, then placed the child's head in the tire and burned it to death The woman fled to a neighbor's, who procured the assistance of a constable from Minersville, and immediately proceeded to arrest Cavanaugh.

On approaching the door, thoy found it closed, and Cavanaugh on the inside—he refused to admit them. On breaking the door open they discovered him perfectly naked, and the dead child in bed beside another living one, where he had placed it. He made no resistance they accordingly took him before a Justice in Maysville, who committed him for trial, and he was forthwith taken to Orwigsburg.

He is about 25 years of age, has been married six years, and has several children. The woman still lingers, by the last news.
