THE LAST APPEAL.

The day, dearer and more sacred than all! other#, to every citizen of Indiana and lover of his country, is fast approaching. Ou Tuesday next, the questions of public policy, which have agitated the whole* country, during the present campaign, will be decided, so far a* our State is coiicerncd, by the triumph or defeat of one or the other of the champion* of the two great political parties. That all do not feel equally interested in the event of that day, ia a source of «ome astonishment. \et,ihat there is a spirit of apathy existing among a respectable portion of our citizens, needs no demonstration to make it apparent to the mind of the most careles* observer. And what is the occasion of this manifest indifference? All roust sharo alike the consequenccs which result from the exercise of the elective franchise. 8ince all avocations and employments of life aro so closely related and mutually dependant, the one upon the other, a blow or blessing upon one, the others, in sympathy, must respond. Reciprocity is a universal law of domestic and social economy. The merchant is dependent upon the agriculturist, and vice versa, the mechanic upon the merchant, nnd the farmer upon the mechanic. One department of labor cannot exist independent of all others. Prosperity or calamity in one psrticular department will tell in a corresponding ratio upon all the others in their several relations. The interest of one—the interest of all, i» a primary law of political economy. Now, our government proposes to pro wet all, equally—the very spirit

1y, the houor or folly of their deeds. Let hot!

The ballot-box is the freeman's priceless legacy—a boon of which wo are proud to boast, and should be tho last surrendered. It is not only the privilege of all to exercise this right, but it is the absolute duty—a duty we owe to ourselves and our common country. L*t every whig in the country, and in the State, feel that not only bis own individual interests are deeply involved in the event of tho approaching alcction, but also the success of his party, and the prosperity of his country. Let each voter remember, for neglect or indifference, he must pay the forfeiture, and wheu too late, brought to tho shrine of repentance. Then, let it never be said of tho whig*-of old Vigo, "y« infwyour duty, but did it not but, in testimony of your teal and devotion to whig principles, let one and all, on Tuesday next, rally about the standard of the venerable patriot and hero of a huadred battles.

Marahficld, Mass., ou Sunday morning, last,at 3 o'clock. He bad been ailing for some days with diarrhc&a, which ultimately resulted in inflammation which caused Bis death.

Another one of the great men of this nation has gone to bis long home. The great statesman, jurist and patriot, the eloquent defender of the Constitution has sunk to the grave, covjered with honors that will ever live in the hia|torv of his country. Death respect* neither 1 genius nor riches, but Mr. Webster was too great a man to lose at this time, when the a lion required hi* services so much.

The great men of the nation are dropping off hastily. Calhoun, Adams, Clay and Webster have all gone to try the realities of the future world, all of whom are deeply regretted bv their weeping countrymen.

The following is the latest despatch about Mr. Webster—last before his death:

BOSTOK,

U* The State Capitol improves apace, and must ultimately become a large and flourishing city. The large hotel, (the Bates' House,) is up four stories and ready for the roof. It is large enough to accommodate most of the next State Fair, and if well managed, must do an immense business. The railroads centreing at Indianapolis will always keep travelling concentrated there, which builds up hotels. Ho-tel-boarding was, during the fair, $1,50 a day lodging and meals, separate, 50 cents each, which, iu a plentiful.country, must make such business very profitable.

nnd senius of our institutions is, that all shall Public Instruction, is now located at this place, a have a voice in selecting those to administer, as well as to assist in framing our laws. Each voter is sovereign and should act iu a sovereign's capacity. All classes in society should lie represented, that they may Khare re^pecti ve-

U* Rev. Aaron Wood, recently a caudidate on the whig State ticket, for Superintendent of

in charge of tho Methodist Church, and will, as we understand, remain the year. He seems to have run considerably ahead of the balance of the State ticket, which shows the estimation in which Mr. W. is held all over the State.

OHIO.—At

nrDIAHA STATE FAIR.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last, were

expired at hi* residence at great day? at Indianapolis and perhaps ittliP State

nessed more people assembled at the State Capital than were ever there before. It was the time of the great State Fair, and it seemed that the whole city and environs wer6 alive with real live Hoosers, their wives and children, with a considerable number of people from other States. Hotels and private houses were crowded all the time, and still there was an overplus who slept in their chairs—finding no places to lay their heads upon beds upon bedsteads, or upon inn floors. On Thursday at iioon, at the Fair grounds, the number present was variously estimated at from fffteeu to thirty thousand people, and still they were arriving and leaving all the time. We suppose Indianapolis is pretty much cat out of all it had, and their citizens now troubled with plethoric purses.

The Fair ground was an interesting place to visit—none more so, and it exhibited a fair specimen of the rapid strides of Indiana towards the high place she will soon take among her sister States. With all our varied agricultural advantages, in a short time, we shall be able to compete with, and perhaps surpass many of the older States of the Union. Already have we left many behind in population, commerce, and the mechanic arts.

The grounds of the Fair occupied fifteen acres, enclosed by a high close board fence, along which were sheds and stalls for horses, cattle, mul«3, «tc. Inside were two large halls for manufactured articles, fruits, kc., both of which were filled with almost every conceivable article. There w*re any quantity of agricultural implements, intended to facilitate husbandry and save labor, many of which appeared to be of great merit.

The cattle, we thought, were considerably better than the horses, though both were good. There were some very fine wooled sheep, and large hogs. The poultry j^erc very fine. One box contained two fowls/which were a mixture of the turkey and guinea fowl, which was, indeed, a curiosity. The Shanghacs, Poland topknots, Java Bamtaus, top knotducks,and fantailed pigeons had many admirers.

From this part of the Slate, Rufus St. John presented some fiue harness, our cooper shops seut over some barrels and a keg, F. Markle a barrel of flour aud samples of fruit, and H. Deuny, samples of apples, J. A. Modesitt, a rake, S. Myers, of Sullivan, a fine quilted saddle, D. Wcisiger, of Vermillion, a fire horse, (the best horse,) W. C. Danaldson, of Parke, a quilt, and large sweet potatoes and beets.— There may have been many other articles from the Wabash, which we failed to notice among the innumerable variety which cumbcred the benches and the ground. One person could not take time to see all so as to remember well when away.

Tho finest carriage we ever saw, was on the ground, from a manufactory at Connersville, Ind. We understand it took a silver cup. It was certainly too fine for our muddy roads.— Most of the fine buggies and similar vehicles seemed to us to be too weak—not strength enough about the liubbs.

All kinds of shows and amusements were going on in town at night aud near the ground* in daylight. There were views of the Crystal Palace, Mr. Randall ai wife, the "giand and giandes," as the picture said, the Chinese Family, the two Sea Dogs, the Wild Mare without hair, the Grizzly Bear and Learned Pig, all with horrid music grinding away all the time. In town were the Hoosier Babies—a boy of 9 years weighing 167 lbs and a baby girl of 4 or 5 years weighing 131 lbs. These were the greatest notice shows to be seen, and were the products of Randolph county, Ind.

A ball came off at Masonic Hall on Thursday night, at which 28 sets of cottllions footed

D" Mr. Cookerly's card in the last Journal, attempts to put himself right before the people. We have no objections to his state ments, as it seems he was beaten pretty much for the want of votes, which is certainly a valid excuse. It may be as Mr. C. states, in Clay county, which only shows however, that Mr. C. took the wrong

chute

in that quarter to

please the sovereigns. If he had known the strong side, it is probable he would have found some way to get in with the majority.

Mr. Cookerly charges that Mr. Comb's vote was increased in Sullivan on account-of the pledges which ho says Mr. Combs made to Mr. Wolfe. We know nothing of said pledges, but it is remarkable if Mr. Combs

could

make

to secure votes which ^Ir. Cookerly

was entitled to

tcithoui pledges—that

the demo

cratic party distrusted Mr. Cookerly, and were willing to take up Mr. Combs, as the

The Presidential Election.

Tuesnay next will decide who shall be President of the United States for four years, from and after the 4th of March, 1853. It must be Scott or Pierce—Hale is considered out of the question, as far as ku election is concerned.— Our preferences are well-known. We have always been for the whig nominee, because we consider his qalifications equal to any other, and his claims far in advance of all others.— His principles too, we think, are beet for the honor, prosperity, and general happiuess of the whole country. Thus thinking and believing, we could not hesitate in our choice of the two gentlemen presented to the American people for highest office within th»ir gift. We have every confidence in Gen. Scott—in his statesmanship, patriotism, and ability to serve his country well. His whole life is a guarantee for this.

The time for discussion has past. People must have made up their minds long since, as to the mau of their choice, and we can now only urge the friends of Scott to attend the polls, work hard, and satisfy themselves that they have done their duty. Whether beaten or successful, Gen.

SCOTT

must be gratefully re

membered as long as our Republic has a history, for be has done as much as any other persou to place us in the high position we now occupy. From youth to hoary age, his gallantry has shed a lustre upon the country which will be uudimmed for centuries. Occupying promiuent positions, ho has always been ready wheu his country called, and he has always deported himself in every station, as became a patriot, a soldier, and a civilian.

In another place, we publish Scott's receut speech at Satidusky. Those who do not know Scott's character as well as they wish, should read this specch, and they cannot fail to ad mire this noble old man, whose every pulsation only beats for his country's good. Read the speech and tote for Scott.

We are indebted to L. A.

BOOTH,

Esq., of

Sacramento City, for a copy of the Daily Union, of Sept. 8th. from which we extract the following from a letter to the Union, dated Ragtown, (Carson Valley,) Aug. 24, 1852

I assisted, this morning, at the funeral obsequies of a friend and traveling companion, who was taken sick upon the middle of the desert last evening, and who breathed his last this afternoon. His name was

RICHAHD R. KINO.

of Terre-Haute, Ind., and his age 22 years.— He left home and friends with the brightest anticipations of the future, and was attracted to your State by the same magnet that draws us all in that direction—that auri sacra fames that would carry us to Siberia or to the l\orth Pole, did we believe that the yellow dust was to be found there in greater abundance. Poor fellow I I feel the centiment of grief too keenly to be enabled to write his eulogy iu a manner that would do justice to the merits of the deceased. Suffice it to say that he was the life and soul of his party—his laugh always the heartiest, his disposition the merriest, and conversation the mo^ cheerful and enlivening no hardship or privation could dishearten, no adverse fortune depress, nor any untoward event disturb his natural serenity. The insatiate archer seemed to exercii-e an unwonted malignity in singling such a victim for his unerring shaft—but the decrees of Providence are incrutablc, nnd fallible and finite beings should not murmur at Ilis decrees. It may be a solace to liis family, and to the young female heart that will be alone and seared and blighted when the sad intelligence shall reach ner, to know that he received good medical advice, careful nursing, and better attention than falls to the lot of most unfortunates who perish in this wilderness. Kind and sympathizing friends closed his eyes, and the tears of lovely woman bedewed his grave. But enough— 'None knew him but to love him, none named him but to praise He has gone to that other and better world, and we all hope and firmly believe thet his virtues here will meet their just reward there.

The State Fair.

The State Journal concludes its reports up on the State Fair with the following reflections upon the general results:

That these will be of the most beneficial character, no one can doubt. All and more will be accomplished, then the most ardent friend of the law, which brought the State Board Agriculture and the county societies in to existence, had hoped.

A just pride in the utility and greatness of their pursuits, will be generally infused among our farmers, mechanics and manufacturers.Standards of excellence in stock, of utility in machines, and of true taste in the elegant articles of comfort and luxury, will be fixed in the minds of all. Progress in their respective pursuits will take the place of indifference in these minds A laudable ambition to have the mantle decorated with a silver cup will actuate all. And thus feeling and acting, who can calculate the ultimate result"?

Not a single accident occurred to mar the harmony of the occasion. Throughout the weather has been most propitious. Nothing has happened to cause regret, save tlic want of adequate preparation to entertain the strangers present. Who is to be censured in this matter we know not.

Tuesday, Oct, 12J

The dinner given to Gen. Scott at the Exchange Hotel, last evening, was a brilliant affair After the plates were removed,

Hon. E. Cook was called on for a speech.— In responding to the call, he made a very elo1

J__.. Aul««tAA At UAHAmI

I Vv

address, reviewing the service of Geueral-YjleT

speech, he touched upon the fact which has been stated, that during the war, Scott was offered a large sum of money to take the government of Mexico into his own hands.

Gen. bcott replied: "My friends and fellow-citizens—friends I may well call you, it is impossible for me to sit still under toe very eloquent words which I have just heard spokeu, and under your very emphatic approbation of them, without niakiug my acknowledgements to my honorable friend, who has poured out a stream of eloquence, containing so many allusions personally to myself—allusions nighty colored, no doubt, but with perhaps some little foundation in truth. I say I cannot sit and hear that address, aud the applause with which it has been received, without risiug to offer my thanks.— It has been my fortuueto bear the standard of our common country into a foreign land, backed aud supported by our own noble citiseus, native boru and adopted. Under the smiles of Provideuce, it has been my lot to witness manv victories achieved by our glorious army. It has been ray lot to participate on many occa

sions—more

than 1 shall recite—in the most

interesting and animated pectacles which any person can behold—the tearing down of the standard of a foreign enemy, and the raising up of our own. But, supported as I was by most intelligent officers and men, it was almost impossible to avoid this result. The acts were perfected—they have been recorded to the houor of our country. I will be pardoned if 1 indulge in a little piece of egotism, by speaking of myself.

My friend has alluded to the dark clouds which huug over us, and obscured the light of heaven from our country, and to the deep ... .. -L —«-jch

defection, amounting almost to despair, whic covered our land in the early part of the war of iei2. The battle of Chippewa was at hand. To what I am about to say Major Camp, and many others who served in that war, will testify. [Cheers for Major Camp.] I shall have the occasion to speak particularly, and more emphatically, of that brother soldier Marching into battle, I called out to a gallant officer, who was at a considerable distance, loud enough for the greater portion of our men to hear iue—"There is a dark cloud hanging over the country. Let us draw our sword.-, and do something' that will gladden the hearts of the country—let us do something which will cause our countrymen to ring the bells and build bonfires and illuminations." The thing was done, and repeated oil other occasions. [Applause] That is the slight piece of egoti.-iu to which I have been led by the eloquent address which we have just, heard. 1 spoke of another soldier who was within sound of my voice, and who now stands near me. He was, iu 1614, quite a young man, of very inferior rank, as compared" with his merit. He entered the campaign with the rank of Captain. His rank should have been that of Colonel. [Ap plause.] You may be aware that the chief (Quartermaster General is uext in importance to the chief commander ot the army. Everything depends upon his energy and foresight. General Brown said to Major Camp, iu my presence, at a period wheu every house, save one, iu the city of Buffalo hud been burned, and all the boats belonging to Lake Erie had been collected and carried off, and when it. was absolutely necessary for us to cross over Niagara River. "Cannot we have as many boats by suchatimeV" I turned to General Brown, and said: "I know the thing to be impossible.— That Camp will do his be»t." In due season, much to our joy, ample means were provided by the indefatigable Camp and, what wa more, he had the honor, ou that occasion, of leading my brigade and he stood side by side with nieoii the quarter deck of that little boat, which was stranded under the heavy tire of the enemy. I had to swim for my life, and he assisted in plucking me up, or 1 should have been drowned. [Sensation.] But for Major

Camp, there would have ended my little history. He took me by the collar, while he wa.slrugglitig in the stream, and pulled me over the boat. [Cheers.] In every emergency we were favored as by an overruling Providence. Every instance of necessity we were supplied with ample meaus reminded me of Frederick of Prussia, who satd to the Commissfooary General—"I-know it is impossible lor you to place provisions for my army at such a point." "May it please your majestv," he replied, "impossibility shall not only "become possibility, but certainty." So it proved with us, in every event. [Applause.]

I cannot recall a single individual who served in that war, win ha« been so poorly requited, considering the services rendered, as Major Camp. 1 have said that he entered the campaign with a rank far below his merit. At its close, be had earned the rank of Major. It should have been Major General. (Cheers for Maj. Camp.)

My honorable friend, who has addressed you in such eloqueut terms as almo«t to deter me froru attempting to speak, has referred to some scenes that occurred in Mexico, to one or two of which 1 beg leave to advert. He has spoken of the protection extended to the churches he might have added to the persons and property of all. I had the warm thanks of the Arcnbishop of that country, for the protection given to the church, and also those of his people. I had his affection, his thanks, and his lilcssiug. He was au aged man, then eigh-ty-five years, and is now gone to his long home. I spoke to him about the pictures with which the churches were ornamented. They were copies and originals by the first masters of Spain, and the former could not be distinguished by a connoisseur from the originals.— lie supposed I had a fancy for some of them and 1 must say I had. 1 had a lurking wish to bring some home, for our public buildings, not for private use. 1 intimated such a pur-

As a lover of my country I was opposed to mixing up that race with our own.— This was the first objection on my part to this proposition.

ICT There is a muss brewing between this country and Cuba which may yet come to war Some indignities have been offered to American officers aud our flag which require explanation or apology, which, if not made, may result in the conquest of Cuba. Our people, very many of them, seem ripe for such an enterprise. The "fillibusters" are ready to charge! New York and New Orleans have held meetings upon the subject aud passed warlike resolutions. ..

It would

be arranged that I might get it in five days

that annexation would be

brought about in a few years, or il not. that I could organire the finances and straighten the complex affairs of that government. It was understood that nearly a majority of Congress was in favor of annexation, and that'll was only necessary to publish a pronunciumento to that eflect to secure the object. We possessed all the arms of the country, and occupied their cannon founderies and powder manufactories, had possession of their ports oi entry, and might easily have held them in our possession, if this arrangement had gone into effect. A published pronunciamento would have brought Congress right ovir to us, nnd with these fifteen thousand Americans holding the fortresses of the couivry. all Mexico could not have disturbed us.— We might have been there to this day. it it had been necessary. But 1 loved my distant home. I was not in favor of the annexation of Mexico to my own country. Mexico has about eight millions of inhabitants. and out of these eight millions there are not more than one million who are of pure European blood. The Indians and mixed races constitute aboutseven millions. They are exceedingly inferior to our own.
