THE WHIG CONVENTION FOE VIGO COUNTY. An adjourned meeting of the Whig Convention was held at thu Court house on Saturday last, in which eight townships were represented. Prairie Creek, Nevins, and Linton sent up no delegates, but there were whigs present from some of them who were invited to take seats as delegates, which they did not do, as they thought they had no right to do so. They were of the opinion, however, that said townohips would abide by any thing the convention might do towards producing harmony in the whig ranks. The meeting was well attended by whigs from various parts of the county.

The Convention made the following nominations Fur Reprevcntutice*.

IlAavtr D. SOOTT, of IlarriMon. W O O A N. of Sugar Creek. LYNAS A. BURNETT, of Otter Cre«k.

For Judge of Common Picas. Nathaniel Lee, of Riley. For Clerk Circuit Court. Andrew Wilkins,

Ilarrisol^^

For Sheriff.

Marvin M. liiokcox, of Harrison. For Treasurer and Collector. Charlos T. Noble, of Ilarrison. The Conveution then adjourned, tine die, without making any further nominations, leaving a guerrilla warfare among the balance, and perhaps too, eveu for some of the offices, for which nominations have been made. We consider the ticket above, a good one, and worthy of support at the polls and of course, those nominated will take painBto make theinselvos known to the people. We are sorry there wore not offices euough for all of our whig friends to have one. There is a good time a corning.

Disgraoefal Scene in Congreu. The papers report a very disgraceful scenc in tho House of Representatives .it Washington on the 24th inst., the chief actor in which was Col. Wm. II. Polk, of Tcnucssee. It is supposed ho was pretty much intoxicated, and perhaps, knew not what he was saying. He took especial pains, however, to call Gen. Culloin of Tenn.,and Mr. White of Kv., liars, we believe, more? than once, and to heap much abuse upon Gen. Scott. Here is a part of the report:

Mr. White (whig) of Ky., rose, saying he understood the gentleman to make an allusion to an alleged understanding between Scott and Santa Anna, He wished to know whether the gentleman could produce no other evideuce for this than by goi lg to the graveyard

Mr. Polk—1 sajr what 1 have stated is correct, and I can prove it.

Mr. WhvJte—I call for the proof. Mr. Polk—I will say. in answer to the gentleman, that it is not my purpose to engage in personal controversy. Hut 1 learn that he has been pitted liure to assail me. and I say lie understands the rules which govern gentlemen of honor in his country and mine, and whenever ho asks, I will answer him.

Mr. White—I ask the gentleman to give way for a personal explanation. Mr. Polk—Of course,

Mr. White—The gentleman says he understood that I was selected to be pitted against him. I say it in false, and that whenovur my honor is assailed, 1 know what to resort to.

Tho excitement was now at the fever point all over the hall. Mr. Polk—For fear of misapprehension, I tell the gentlemen he is a liar.

doBon gentlemen hero jumped to their feet, whilo others called to order, and there was the greatest confusion, amid which,

Mr. Chandler (Whig.) of Pa. said the scene was disgraceful, and moved, in a loud toue, that the committee riao.

The language applied to Gen. Cullora was of tho saiuo'eharactcr, and great confusiou prevailed during the time. The press, generally, Tery much condemns Col. Polk, and many editors think he ought to have been at once expelled. The Cinciunati Commercial has the following stroug language:

kept back our exchange, on the late occasion of 1 Territories tc Ian outpouring of his wrath against us but: lnd's.56 tribes in all, 300,000 leut off the papers of his regular subscribers at this place. Comment is unnecessary. This Totaj pop g^ 33,495,000 is the editor who talks about articles wiUiout signature. "Young veracity" must procure a certificate that said papers were properly mailed.

This tpecimen is from the Terre-Haute Jour- Mr. Barbour's speech in Sullivan, says: nal: "We must confess that we were much surrised at Mr. B.'s advocacy of that odious old

I to ".las. Hug tor North Western Gazette, dsc., Ac.," simply bccause we thought it entirely unnecessary, but we did mail one, as we uniformly do, to the 'Gazette,' Bloomington, the delectable sheet over which Mr. Hughes is the presiding geniatt."

The prosecutor is rather impudent in his last remark, especially when we consider that Mr. Hughes ranks, in his part of the State, with such men as D. McDonald and Geo. G. Dunn, while our neighbor of the Journal, over this way, ranks with—we don't know who—tut penerit.'

This thot is from the Bloomington Gazette— rather a good marksman, we fear Wonderful Machine.

A machine fn making good lawyers and competent officials, out of the raw material, is now in operation in this State, which excites great curiosity among the speculators in novel inventions. It consists in the application of the "Convention principle" to briefless young barristers, who aspire to offices iu the judiciary.

By way of an experiment, to test the power of the machine to its fullest extent, it has been put in operation on Bill McLean and Fred. Brown, two of the rawest graduates of the Bloomington Law School, with a view of working them up into prosecuting attorneys, for the a Common Pleas court, respectively. It in thought that a machine whicn can accomplish this, can do anything, and many per sons are watching the process with great solicitude, intending to invest large sums of money in the machine, if this experiment proves successful.

Should this be the case, there will immediately ensue a great demand for parchment diplomas, law licenses, certificates of good moral character, nice young men, incurable coxcombs, and impudent young fellows, "Who«c only boast Is but to wear,

A tuft of dirty looking hair." We advised our neighbor to take off that "tuft," but he would not do it now, he sees how he is handled, bccause he heeded notour advice.

To give our neighbor the full benefit of all I10 has said upon this knotty difficulty between himself and a brother democrat, we may say, that his Jirst edition of tho Journal, on Friday last, contained an article headed "Samuel E. Perkins," in which Mr. Hughes comes in for fair share of attention, and the democracy are exhorted to give him such a dose as "will be the death of him, and all such double faced hypocrites." But, a8 tho Journal which came to this office does not contain said article, the editor ought to havo credit for his last and best intention wo shall not, therefore, copy said editorial, without a request from him to that end. We hope we may be considered entirely fair and impartial, as respects this controversy.

Those who heard Mr. B. on that occasion, are still more surprised at the recklessness of the editor that makes the above charge, for they say, no such "advocacy" happened. In some respects, this canvass is opening ricA, and if our neighbor is not more careful, he will bring shame (perhaps disgrace,) upon himself and his party. He will not be permitted to palm off his random 6hots for the truth, in all cases

djT The Bedford Standard publishes the following cure for the bitebf a Rattlesnake: Take a quart of hog's Lard, as hot as it can be borne, apply it to the wound, bathe it thoroughly by keeping a flannel cloth wrapped carefully round or over the affected pait, and in a short time the virus will be thoroughly abstracted and the patient permanently cured. This information we obtained a few weeks since from Mr. Jeremiah McBride, of Martin counfy, who has tried the remedy in no less than fifty cases and has never known it to fail in any instance, upon man or beast.

Hour. WM. C. DAWSON.—The Macon (Ga.) Citizen says:—We have the best authority for saying that this gentleman will not abide by the decision of the Union Convention, as intimated in the Savannah Republican, but will go heartily for the Whig nominees, Gen. WINFIKLB SCOTT and WM. A. GEAHAM.

0"The Democrats of Washington city are busily engaged in the circulation of a series of tracts called "Papers for the People," in the first of which it is undertaken to prove that Gen. Scott is no hero, fought no victorious battles, was a coward, an imbecile, and all that.— When they succeed in making the people believe any such things, we hope they will stop publishing their own infamy. =====

MURDER ON THE PLAINS.—The editor of the Cape Girardeau Eagle has seen a letter from the Plains, giving an account of the massacre of Mr. Engler of that place, together with his company, by the Indians. Mr. Sana, of Cape Girardeau, who was behind, found Engler and his party killed and scalped, his wife taken prisoner, tho oxon taken and the wagons all robbed. -----

Aeddent at the Terre-Haute Draw-Bridge—Loss of Life. On Thursday last, at 4 o'clock, P. M., a terrible crash was heard in the direction of the bridge, which was occasioned by the falling of two spans of said structure into the river, near the middle of the stream. Several hands were then at work upon the bridge, and anew span was nearly finished and at the time of moving the trussels underneath, and catting a rope which bound the new and old work together, the old span gave way, and both the old and new spans came down with great violence, breaking to pieces in the fall, and scattering on a 1

LOEAN SMITH, of this place, was the contractor for repairing the bridge. He was taken out uf the ruins, bruised and mutilated in a shocking degree. He was entirely insensible at the time. His son also was hurt, perhaps worse than the father. Both are now lying in a critical condition at the residence of Mr. S.

A workman, BKKJ. QCICK, was on the old span and tried to escape by running towards the toll house east but before he got to the place where the falling part separated from a standing span, it was so wide he could not leap it. He fell under the bridge, and was killed. His body was taken out, from under the ruins, on Saturday afternoon. He seems to have been killed by a beam falling across his breast. Two or three other workmen were engaged on the bridge at the time, all of whom were taken from the wreck terribly mangled, with broken legs, arms, Ac. Only one person escaped injury, SAMUEL BLACK, who sprang off into the river and was taken out safely. It is remarkable that all were not instantly killed, as the upper beams on the bridge fell in evenpossible direction in the water.

Mr. BF.XJ. MCKEEN was on the old spau at the time, but the first noise gave him time to escape to the next bent, which stood secure.— He also turned back another person, who was fleeing the wrong way for safety. Taking this altogether, it is the most shocking accident that has ever happened in this place.

We are glad to hear from Mr. MCKKEN, that Mr. BISHOF, now employed on the bridge at Clinton, has been engaged to prosecute and finish this bridge, and thathe will at once enter upon the work. It is expected that by the 1st of November, passengers may cross upon the new structure, and that every thing will be ready for the passage of live hogs, by the earliest opening of the Terre-Haute market.

REPI'DIAIING THE PLATFOKM.—The late Democratic National Convention declared in their platform resolutions the "proceeds of the public lands ought to be sacredly applied to the national objects specified in the constitution," and that the democracy are "opposed to the distribution of such proceeds among the States as repugnant to the constitution," and in less than one week after the setting up of the democratic platform with this resolution in it, the intensely Democratic House of Representatives, consisting of the chosen champions of the Democracy of the whole Union, passed a bill to distribute an immense portion of the public lands among all the States. Of course the leaders of the democracy expect that their friends in the country will follow their lead, however contradictory it may be. It wont be done, wo hope

The undersigned hereby gives notice that he has resigned the office of magistrate. He is led to this by the overwhelming mental affliction which he experiences in not being able to give judgment for both parties. J. G. BATTLE.

INVASION OF CUBA.—There is said to bean extensive organization in the United States under the designation of the "Lone Star," having for its object the invasion and conquest of Cuba. This association is supposed to be acting in conjunction with a similar one in Cuba. Better remember the sad fate of Lopez and be careful. The Cubans must take the initiative to be successful in such a work.

ICR Mr. EDWARD CLARKE, of Pittsburgh, Pa., publishes a statement describing a new nose, made for him by Dr. PANCOAST, of that city, to supply tho one he had lost some sixteen years ago. A piece of flesh from the forehead was jsewed into the cheeks a gutta porcha mould of his father's nose was placed over it to give it the proper shape, and gold tubes were inserted for the nostrils. He says he has now a new nose, sound and well formed, with the senses of feeling and smell as fine as they ever were.

O* Solon Turman, of the Covington Friend, has been laid upon the shelf by his party convention refusing to nominate him for the State Senate. He takes it kindly, and intends to vote for the man who beat him! He was a cripple at the time, and could not get out to attend to his interests. Being a cripple, perhaps his party thought he could not run well. Better luck to him next time.

COMING IN.—The German Democrats of Lickrun, (one of the Western Suburbs of Cincinnati,) held a meeting and resolved to vote the entire Whig Ticket:

The reasons for this course are given. Disgusted withthe secret cabals of the Miami tribe, with the hypocrisy and double dealing of the leading politicians of the self-styled Democratic party, tney look upon the Whig party as the party of progress, as the liberaland truly Republican Democratic party of the nation.

POSTMASTER GENERAL.—Hon. JAS.G. BROOKS, of New York, has been appointed Postmaster General, Mr. Hall having resigned to accept a Judgeship.

J3" Preparations are making for getting up a Temperance ticket in Putnam for the Legisture, provided other political parties nominate men opposed to legislation upon the liquor traffic.

O* J. Scott Harrison, son of the old General, is a candidate for Congress in Ohio. It is proper that a son of HARRISON should be selected as the instrument, when the people of a sovereign State design to do honor to THE GREATEST CAPTAIN OF THE AGE.

LOBOS ISLAND GUANO.—Mr. Webster maintains the right to take guano from the Lobos Islands, without the consent of Peru—and, if this right can be honorably sustained, it will prove to be of immense advantage to the agriculturists of the United States for it will diminish the price of the article so low as to make it accessible .to all farmers. It is said to be six hundred feet deep—a mountain of this great fertilizer that will take a lifetime to remove. But, however tempting the object, wo must be careful to do justice in the premises. If Peru can show a clear title to the Lobos Islands, wc must not undertake to infringe upon her rights.

Guano at present prices, is too costly for general use upon farms. Wealthy proprietors may afford to procure it but those in moderate circumstances will use it sparingly. It is not generally regarded as a permaucnt fertilizer of land, ana is supposed to act most advantageously upon worn out soil, where it will produce a good crop of wheat and clover, if properly applied. We should prefer barnyard manure, bone dust or ashes, for permanent cffoct.—Bait.Clipper.

Circular.

OFFICE OF AUDITOR OF STATE. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9, 1852 County Auditor:—

SIR—A copy of the new School Law has been forwarded to your office, and the act will be generally distril uted eometim« in the month of September. The Tax contemplated in sections 1 and 130 should most unquestionably be placed upon tho duplicates of the current year, so that the new system may go into effect as soon as possible.

The law places the control of the schools and of the funds in the hands of the Trustees of the civil townships but as these do not, and will not exist in many of the counties until the annual election in April. 1853. it is recommended that the dividend of School Funds be made under the old law, and that the existing organization ol School Districts, and of Congressional Townships be observed, until some further remedial action of the Legislature can be had.

A SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION will be elected in October, and. as soon as organized, the State Board of Education will use every effort to reconcile conflicting provisions, and aid in perfecting the Common School sysk-m.

The election or appointment of Con gressional Township Trustees, and of Dis trict Trusicea. should be observed as heretofore. Respectfully,

THE STATE.—The President

of the Bank of Missouri, during his late trip to the east, discovered in the possession of the Batik America $215 000 of the Bonds of the State, duly executed by the proper State officers and endorsed by the Bank. They had been deposited there for sale as far back as 1837 or 8 but the singularity of their condition was the fact, that neither the State nor the Bank had any record of their existence. If the State»ever had any such evidence, it may have been destroyed by the burning of the State House in 1838. But it is very strange that the Books of the Bank contain no notice of them. The President. (Mr. Hughes.) received them, and has returneH them to the proper State authorities, to be cancelled.— St. Louis Republican.

"A Stitch in Time save* Nine." Poor Richard.—How true this maxim is in its application to disease. Suppose you have a headache, pains in your bouea, back aud limbs, dullness, stupor, yawning, dizziness when yon stoop down and rise up suddenly, flashes of fever, and cold chills creeping over you, warning you that the grim monster ig at your heels! All premonitory symptoms of bilious or intermittent fever—just get a box of of Bragg's Anti-Bilious Pills take the as directed—then follow up with the Tonic Pills, and our word for it, you will be well in two days. Thus saving weeks of suffering, the loss of time, and a neavy Doctor's bill—if you are so lucky as to get out of their clutches with life. We've tried both plans.
