MS GILLESPIE'S SPEECH—A BICH TBEAT. On Saturday last, Mr. Gillespie, one of the whig Electors for the State at large, in Illinois, happened in this place on business, and he was solicited to make a speech before the Scott club at the Court house on that evening, to which he gave his assent. A very fair audience was called out for so short a notice, and well were they repaid—so we infer, from the plaudits which often came forth on :he occasion.

referred to the tariff question

which he discussed ably and forcibly, illustrating his position by familiar comparisons which went home to the understanding of every hear-f-r. He showed that from 1816 down to 1828, all the prominent democrats, then and since, were advocates of tariff measures, and voted fo establish and maintain that policy. In 18.'i2 they changed front, and went for it, or against it, in different places, as best suited their political purposos. Pennsylvania bad beeu loud for Polk and Dallas, and the tariff of '42, while other States endorsed these men, and repudiated the tariff! Such strange inconsistencies had been common with the other party.

Appropriations for rivers and harbors were then taken up, in which the speaker showed that Mr. Pierce had voted for such appropriations, to be expended on the Penobscot and the State of MAINE and thereabouts, but had refuted his vote for lesser appropriations for the west, thus showing himself a sectional man, incapable of doing justice to all parts of the country alike. Mr. G. contended that the "Vn est. now had the power and ought to protuct herself herein, but from the platform of the loco convention, we need look for no help from Mr. Pierce, should he unfortunately, have the veto power in his hands for the next four years after the 4th of March.

The Speaker next referred to the question of Intervention, a subject upon which lie charged that the democratic convention at Baltimore, had been afraid to show their hands, as their platform incontestibly proves, from its entire bilcnce upon said question, lie ohowed the futility of "peaceable intervention" as some of the prominent locos had urged, without indeed, wo wcro willing along with that, to pocket a national insult. Ho thought the people of this country understood themselves too well to forsake the policy of Washington to run after such vagaries—"to quit their own to stand on foreign ground." This question was fully discussed, and the position of the other party shown to be double-faced, and erroneous, and against all the best interests, the union, ad happiness of OIIF beloved Republic.

Mr. Gillespie concluded his remarks by some general allusions to the civil and military histories of the two candidates for the Presidency, in which Mr. Picrce was shown to be unequal in evory respect to his distinguished competitor. lie had served in Congress and left mark of his ability as a statesman. All of his votes had shown extreme hostilily to the west, and to tho old soldiers (pensioners) in all parts of the country. He originated no groft measure for the public good, and left no name above nine-tenths of those who served with him.— In this race, he was tho offspring of a locofoco political dilemma, and was brought prematurely before the people for the highest office in -the world. The nomination had killed outright, all the prominent men of the party— those whose services had w'fW them to the honor of the Presidential race. CAM, the longtried public servant, had been slain iu tho house of his friends. He fell in the harness, with a large portion of the glory of the Compromise measures upon his shoulders. Pennsylvania bleeds for her lavored sou—BIOUXAX was rejected for Pierce, and his claims forever postponed. jNew York mourns her buried Marty Houston has gone to a never-ending rati in Texas, and the short legged giant of .Illinois, in his own opinion, lives to sit hereafter in the chair of Washington'

Scott had covered his country with glory, and enshrined his name in the living light of history. His deeds are recorded from every theatre where hie sword has gleamed, or his diplomacy been called out in behalf of hi# country and her people. He had been cnlrus« ted with the highest civil missions and duties, and had always shown himself master of the circumstances and exigencies around him. His '.genius was exhibited the north-cast in pre routing a war wish Kt^land. Hia prudence 'and sagacity stilled the discordant notes of nullification is the South, «Qd prevented a war where brother's blood would have been ahed by a brother's haud.

O* To show what Gen. Scott's companions thought of his talents when he was quite a young man, the following extract is made from a letter written by William Thompson, of Virginia, to John Randolph, then a member of Congress from the Old Dominion. The letter can be found in the life of John Randolph, by Hugh A. Garland. Mr. Thompson says

We have been visited by the young ladies of Liberty Stock and by its mentor, Major Scott. 1 had rather have his wisdom than Newton's or lathe's, for depend upon it, he has dipped deep in the science oj the mind.

£P" We are glad to notice that provision was made during the last session of Congress for the making and distribution of letter envelopes, bearing postage stamps, which are to be supplied to the public at the cost of procuring them, as near as may be. Tho advantage of this is obvious, and the public have long do manded it. All postmasters arc to be furnished with them for sale, and as "other persons' may buy them by the quantity of the govern ment agents doubtless tho bookstores will bo suppliod with them. We hope to seo them out west soon, that we may get rid of stamps that won't stick, and not be troubled with the taste of unpleasant, gum.

U* The new Constitution has played smash witli our loco friend, A. 0. Hough, of Putnam. He had been a magistrate, and wanted to run for Sheriff and after canvassing the county, and seeing and "feeling in his bones" that he could have been elected, some busy body brought up the constitution against him, which says, "No person clccted to any judicial office, shall during the Term for which he shall have been elected, be eligible to any office of trust or profit in thia State, other than a judicial of ficc."

We feci for Americits, and think there was no use in that daics of the constitution which forbids his administering upon all the property of the unfortunate.

XT' The following is in the correspondence of the Charleston Democrat, from Terre Haute, over the signature of "Wabash:"

RKTtJR.tES—"Judge Conard of the Courier, who had sloped for a week or two, to avoid the whig convention, which was to make the county nominations—HE having a natural repugnance to conventions! He done the same thin£, some five or six years ago. At least this is theopinion of many, because he seldom makes it convenient to go east, only on such occasions."

As this must have escaped our neighbor's attention, we take the liberty of contradicting it—in that connection.

£7" We hear from the surrounding country, that Mr. Barbour is rapidly gaining on Mr. Davis in tho Congressional race, and if the whig# omit no part of their duty will certainly secure the election of Mr. B., who is known to be prompt, well qualified, and a friend of western interests iu the improvement of our rivers, harbors, £c., «fcc.

The paper is firm and fine, with the Court-House at this place for the centre vignette, and handsome female figures on either end. The style of the bill is equal to any bank engraving we have seeit, and is creditable alike to the engravers and the banker.

and already it is the great grazing field for a large portion of the beef that finds its way to the eastern markets.

Between the points mentioned, this road pursues an air line, so that it may be put down, when finished, as one of the fast roads. Short curves seldom occur to make it necessary to check the speed of the locomotive. The road between this place and Alton, will be about 165 miles Iong, on which, with usual speed, our citizens, might go to Alton and return the same day. We should be satisfied, however, entirely satisfied, to tarry for the night in the picturesque city on the banks of the "Father of Waters." At Alton, we are on tho high road by the river, to the great emporium of the South-west, and who knows the immense amount of freight and travel that would seek this road for an outlet? It could not be guessed at, or conceived of near the true mark.

The contract for completing this immense work has been given to.Messrs. Barnes, Phelps fc Mattoon, of Springfield, Mass., at three millions of dollars. Large amounts of stock have been taken eastwardly and along the line, we understand the people are putting their shoulders to the wheel. Capitalists know that such a road must pay, hence their willingness to show their faith by their large stock subscriptions.

A Mr. Rj'der, of Stockbridge, Mass., has the sub-contract for all the bridges and masonry, and we understand, will make an early commencement on the Wabash, as the bridge at this place, will probably be the heaviest, job on the lino. Mr. R. has aleady left Stockbridge lo commence his operations on tho road, with many first class workmen in his corps. All the hands that could be had are now working daily in making the grade between this place and Paris

It remains for us to call the attention of our citizens to this work. More stock is needed and subscriptions are respectfully solicited at this place. None doubt the utility of the road, or that it will soon pay its own way, when the iron horse is once on the track. We all feel the value of the road to Indianapolis.— This work completed, would increase that feeling a hundred per cent. It is therefore hoped, however little, that every citizen here who may be at all able, will be wiiling to lend a little "material aid." Especially is it expected, and hoped, that property holders, who may be probably most benefitted, will take hold of the work in the way of subscribing for stock, with that generous liberality which iay be justified by their means. No more could be asked or expected.

While upon this subject, we may 6ay, that we have recently heard of a project for transferring the county stock in the Indianapolis road, to the contemplated road to Vincenues. If the propriety of this matter is deemed admissible, and consistent with a proper regard for the best interests of the county of Vigo, (a question we shall not now argue,) it would be well for our people to remember the ALTOX ROAD, and if such a transfer is to be made hereafter, to consider if that road does not offer as good or better investments, surer pay, and quicker returns, than tho road South. It seems to us that there could be no difficulty in deciding in favor of the Alton road, a road that will soon

Mr. T. then proceeded to show which was the party of principles, and clearly maintained that no principle was originated with the Democratic parly, their organization having pprunjr into existence and continued to exist on nothing other than opposition to the principles advocated by the whig party. He next, proceeded to examine why any man should vote for Picrce. taking into consideration the personal merits of this candidate, as well as the merits of his party's platform, shoeing the only reason for voting for him to he, from the fact that he always voted vo on every important measure in Congress while he was a member of that, body and the platform of the party was opposed to Banks. Tariffs and Internal Improvements, and in favor of nothing-— The only thing that party could do if in pow er would be to take money from the pockets of the people, and put in those of the office-hold-ers. (Cheering.)

Scott's position on the Compromise was alluded to, and the speaker stated that, at one time in 1P49. he had made a speech in Conpress in favor of tho Compromise, the first on that side of the subject, made by it Northern man. He was met shortly afterwards by Gen. Scott, who conjrratnlated him on the subject, and assured him that he had spoken the same sentiryents which he himself held in relation to that subject. Before the bill passed Congress. Gen. Scott had gone amongst the members and urged them to vote for it. and had used every exertion to secure its adoption.

The speaker then, in a hasty manner, concluded his address bv showing how the question of slavery had been first brought into political contests bv the Democrats in 1826, and they have since kept alive the agitation at every successive campaign. He blamed them for the existence at present, of the Abolition party at the North and the Secessionists at the South, as the agitation they had caused had the effect to set the=e two factions in opposition to each other. His remarks were listened to with the greatest attention, and on taking his seat he wns greeted with three loud and enthusiastic cheers.

O* We have seldom heard so good, and so sensible a speech, as was made by Jos. Gillespie, of Ills., at the Court House on Saturday night. 25th inst. How different from John Pettit's. No abuse.no hard charges against Pierce, no blackguard slang against, any body. Even'one spoken of was treated with proper respect and courtesy, the worst remark being an allusion to Mr. Pierce as an "obscure man," which every body must acknowledge for out of his own State, no human being ever thought of running Mr. Pierce for the Presidency.

We hope Mr. G. will visit ns again, for such speeches must awaken the country to a due sense of the obligations the people owe Gen. Scott, obligations paid for by the services he has performed for them, which are attested by the scars and British lead now carried about his person.

At the conclusion of Mr. Gillespie's speech, three cheers were given for Scott and Graham, and tho same for the speaker, who had hearers present, that have never came out before in this cauvass, to bear a political specch.

T7* The Vincennes Gazette says that "some of the Terre-Hauto papers and people" think that said paper is "opposed, or indifferent to the extension of the Wabash Railroad." We know nothing of this. We hope the Gazette will say what paper, or gentleman has entertained such an opinion about the Gazette.— We have made no such charge, and therefore, have nothing to "take back."

We hope the Gazette will name the paper, and the man, and give them "thunder" and the road too, if tbey deserve it. Name 'em out, and we may have something more to say on this vexed question. .......

O" The Journal has a statement that Mr. Barbour would not travel with Mr. Davis, and endeavors to make some capital for Mr. D. out of the fact.

CIRCULAR.

To the Voters of the Sixth Jttdtcial Circuit, composed of tke Counties oj Svlhvan, Greene, Mon roe, Owen, Clay, Vigo, Putnam and Morgan.

FELLOW-CITIZENS: On the 10th of August last, I was nominated by aDetnocraiic Convention held at Bowliug Green, for the office of Judge of the 6th Circuit, Since, as well as be fore that time, I was numerously solicited br voters of all parties, to be a candidate for that office. Some weeks since I accepted the invitations and nomination, and am now a candidate. Under strong convictions that Judicial office ought not to oe sought after by a resort to the usual course of electioneering, I determined neither to make speeches, nor write circulars while occupying my present position, and so informed my Competitor. I believed the people capable of deciaii fications without urgent solicitations' on my part. The duties of my office would have prevented me from taking a different course, if 1 had desired it nor would I now address you, but for the reason that my Competitor has very recently published a circular, in which he maintains t&at the question. "Ought party politics to enter into the Judiciary* is at issue in the election, and invokes the people to decide it. He condemns, in just terms, a party judiciary and leaves it to be inferred without directly charging it, that I am iu favor of it, or that my election will promote that end. Such an inference', is so repugnant to every feeling of my nature, that I cannot let it pass without notice. My worthy Competitor and myself have icted and voted with the democratic party. I have edited, and he yet edits a party newspaper. We have both been devoted, if not warm partisans. The difference between us seems to consist more in the manner of our becoming candidates, than in any thing else, so far as 1 can understand his views. It may then be well to inquire what I that difference is,and see if it will justify such

an( a

bail in the sum of $750—which he gave. He and if his judgment is not warped and biased has to appear at the next Circuit Court, to be hy his own predilections, those of his neightried for said offences. !'"r«arf

the same time recomtnended him to

be a suitable person to fill the office. This, "seconded by numerous friendly assurances from citizens of the district without reference to party" put him npon tho track as a candidate.

I was nominated by delegates chosen from six out of theeight counties of the circuit, without any solicitation or interference 011 my part and this nomination was also seconded by "friendly assurances from citizens of the district witliout reference to party." The difference then is not in our "frienaly assurances," but.exists between the Lawyers of Bloomington and Martinsville 011 the one side, and the Lawyers, Doctors, Mechanics and Fanners who composed the convention 011 the other side. It cannot be pretended that the members of the Convention who nominated me, do more in ma king "politics a trade" than my worthy competitors Lawyers. If it is, I .-hall refer thatis»ue to the voters of Monroe and Morgan counties Let them decide it. The objection then muvt consist iu the fact alone that my nomination makes or tends to make a. party Judge of me I am not conscious of the fact, if it is so, that, the nomination produced any effect upon me 1 am not more or less a democrat than 1 was before mv nomination,and 1 do not believe that my Competitor underwent a change for the want of it. Both 1 trust are or ought t«» beconstitu ted of sterner stuff than this. If we are not— we are not fit for the office. If such a nomination of itself introduces party politics into the Judiciary, then Indiana is iu a deplorable condition, for the Supreme bench—whether whigs or democrats, have all been nominated by political party Conventions. Certainly neither party intended that party politics should enter into the Suprmne Judiciary," nor dy 1 believe that any sucli results will follow. But if iu this both parties have sinned, and mj' competitor is right, why does he teach one thing and practice another? He proposes to vote for and aid in electing some of the Supreme Judges who have been nominated by party conventions, and yet asks the voters of this circuit to condemn the very thing he practices. The difference, in principle consists iu the fact that it. isthe Lawyers bull has gored the farmer's nx. The case being altered alters the case

Every man in the circuit qualified for judicial station has his fixed political opinions,

,,ot t0

produce such a resuj,.

He that would favor his political party for a nomination, would for the same reasoti favor those who voted for, anil oppress those who voted against him. If mv nomination by a party convention, would make me favor my political friends over all others, while on the liench, would it not follow that my worthy Competitor, would for the same reason favor those Lawyers who "requested" and "recommended" him, over every other class of the community? For one 1 believe no such thing.

I wan nominated and elected to the office I now hold by ray political friends and I appeal with confidence to the people I have served, of every pariy, in the Counties of Knox, Sullivan, Clay,

Vigo,

Putnam Parke and Vermillion to

ay, if the political opinions of parties in Court ir'at the bar, ever influenced my judicial acticn. The Judges in Indiana have generally been elected as I was, and yet no such coiiipla'nt has been heard, and I hope and believe never will be. A Judge who would be governed by his party predilections, instead of the law and the evidence, is so corrupt that no honest man of any party would sustain him.

Having as I think fully disposed of this "Man of straw" of my competitor's erccLion.I shall not pursue this subject any further. I desire that the election shall be determined on the qualifications and fitness of the candidates alone. For my (Qualifications, fidelity and im-

fartiality

I willingly refer again to the people

have served in the counties of Knox, Sullivan, Clay, Putnam, Parke and Vermillion. Let them testify for me, and I will abide by what they say. Let every voter determine for himself who shall be "elected, to this highly responsible and laborious office, and vole accor dingly I shall be content.
