JACKSON CONVENTION. f COXCLTTDED FROM Of LAST. ttn "Morrison from the Committee an

- pointed for that purpose, reported the following address. ADDRESS OF THK JACKSON STATE CC.VVEMIOX, To the People of Indiana. FKixow-CrmEXs: Acting in a roprcseatatire capacity, we feel the less delicacy in laying before you, for your deliberate consideration, a tew of tae many reasons which we think should induce our united exertions n support and continuance of the present national administration, and of the vencraole patriot who has for the last few rears so conspicuously guided its councils. Our National Pill of rights, the Declaration of American Independence, clearly acknowledges the principle that mankind are generally inclined to bear with evils and suffer inconveniencies so long as they are toljerable, rather than to endeavor to effect a change in government, or to disturb the settled tranquility of a nation. Embracing this principle as a correct one, it wo'ld seem certain that good and sufficient causes should at all" times exist before the people should exert their acknowledged power to institute new and chimerical experiments as a substitute for sound and tried policy, and we at persuaded that when the most scriuiinzing examination is instituted, and a candid, enlightened community shall atter their sentiments, they will accord to the present administration a full share of their confidence, and pronounced that the general prosperity of the country and the happiness cf the people are as conspicuous at the present period, as ttey have ever been since the existence of this beloved republic. The honored inJivid jal to whose wisdom the people entrusted the chief Migitracy of the Unioa has given many additional and undeniable proofs ofh:s abilities and desires to advance the interests ar.i honor of his country, and at the special instance of his felloe-citizens will consent to lead his energies a .d exoerience in furtherenco of his patriotic purposes, should they again signify such a desire. As evidences ef the wisd. m. sagacity abd patriotism of the pr ?. ent administration, we c1, iertun.iteJy, reer you to its many nod diversified acts, end in addition to this reft -nce, to the principles and policy wmcu it nas adoptcd, and pursued, and which policy may be regarded as i.,o land-marks of its future operations. The foreign intercourse ot the United States has always he n e-teemed the most intricate and complex part of its political machinery, and the people have .considered the diplomatic talents of a Chief Magistrate as the tnot essential trait in. hh character. When Andrew JacVon t?s inau pirated President, on tho 1th M.ch 1 He found lias department oi ae v- ovcrnment in a singula? slate of uncer tainty, and arost e very nation cf the world havh g u".ce;r'ed dn'hcultics with our g.ernmer t. "nder this state of public affairs, our commerce was de pressed, manufactures were languishL g, and agriculture suffering for an ouilct V its products; and necessarily a wan o enterprise in the commurvty and a scarcity of a circulating me Cm: jr. If the m-Trhact owned a ship she was Lid up " ndinarv for the want of a pre';U; 'rade, and th? timber in o .r ship yat a is rot ti cn the slacks, and th 1 i..d, itrious mechanic sat folding h;s n for the want of inducement or cpoorturity to hbcr. The farmer must content hStnelf with barely producing enough for the cons-imp-tion of his famil v, and his l ands vi ere uncultivated for the roason that he found no market for thesurplu articles. The shop of the mechanic w as measurably deserted, and the scarcity of money compelled him to abandon his b i. siness.orto content himself with the dull prospect of supplying only the cas ual demands of an immediate vicinity' and that too at prices lessened bv the corresponding depression of the value of other manufactured articles, or of .a - - Use staple aericultural products of the country. The cotton of the South, the cotton goods of the Eat, the Flour Fork, Beef, tjorn and Whiskey of the north and west, were bearely nominal articles, and labor and enterprise -vere useless and parallized to a fearful and dancerous extent. We need scarcely call public atten tion to th comparative tituerece of the situation of the nation at the , present time, and if the difference be admitted we feel authorized to point to the operation of the policy , the Government and to the saeacit of ouf ruler , as esperiallv fending to promote the benefi cial result? which we now experience, au l if succesin inter-na'ional intercourse serves to characterize the Pres

idential imrirtabent, Andrew Jackson must stand confessed as one who has never had a superior. In exemplification of this position a recurrence to the treaties and diplomatic arrangements effected with England, Denmark, Brazil, France, Russia, Austria and Mexicoya.id also, our commercial advantages conceded by Naples and Spain, all concluded within the short period - before mentioned, will produce the full conviction that a full reliance upon the Integrity and honesty of the President, and a perfect accordance with tiic sentiments of his message to Congress, have induced those foreign nations to hail us with- friendship and to extend to us the advantages of the most favored nations; whereby we are placed upon that fair equality which is alone asked to give to American genius, talent and enterprise that superiority of condition which they characteristically assume in all the associations of life. The long agitated and mystified sub

ject of the tariff is at length beginning to be discussed on the principles of reason, instead of being considered a political enigma, which the learned and well born had alone a right to investigate. The "Judicious Tariff of Andrew Jackson is now being acknowledged on all hands, as the one which the American people desire, and when it is remembered that the deliberately expressed voice of "Free Trade Conventions," and of 'Tariff Conventions, 'roiled to the last words of President ''.dams, and the inaugural sentiments of President Jackson, all concur in soliciting a "modification' of its objectionable, sectional and oppressive features, the people will discover that the true "American System"' is that which will pro'.cct our infant manufacture-, without granting their monopolies, and which will furnish a sufficient revenue without burthening the people with unnecessary taxation, disponing fir disbursements from the National Trea sury upon object? of a national character, and therohv improving the internal condition of the cour.trv. in such man ner as to strengthen tho bond of our Union, and alTor .ling facilities for its defence from foreign aTTrcsrioa or inva sion. I ' Ti e epecdv payment of the National J debt ha? long been a great object w.'h the people, and they will doubths-.I j hail with acclamation the annunciation! of the fact, that Andrew Jackson h:v ! brougnt lac financial concerns ol tuc country to such a prosperous state, thai he now possesses the means, with the assistance of Cong: ess to fulfill all the regular and incidental engagements othe government, and to liquidate the last cent of this debt, which has hang like an incubus upon ou- energies since the infancy of the nation, within the presens year. The policy ff the removal of the Indian tribes from within the limits of the stales in which they now reside to permanent homes west of the Mississippi, has received the sanction ,of the philanthropist and humane christian, and the policy of Monroe, Adams, Calhoun, Barbel and Porter, which htbeen so humanely consummated in part by Gen. Jackson, by acd -villi : the consent of tho Indians, is now erny opposed by fanatic?, and tho?-2 who. etn'o thiak it their duty to oppose any measure which the government may favor. The cntin'ry has ffAt'K ,U down, in a g'eat degree approving the Government which exists an J unless an individual could he MiOcted who would euarJ with more vigil..u;ce the vested rights of the Sta'e, vbo would inspire a more per fcclc Jcoce in his impartiality to all portions of the Union, and to the various interests of its citizen";; who would guaid and oppose with more a-siduity any attempts to alienate any portion of these United States from the gereial confederacy: who would more ?, uloiisly repulse any act of consolidation or nullification, and require a more strict accountability from all public officers and agents, then no individual shenld ho. preferred before the venerable a 1 hoary headed patriot cf the Revolution, who for the last time will call upon his countrymen to sustain him. The limits of an address will not permit us, argumentative!-, to lay before you other weighty reasons which exist for a general support of Andtew Jackson at the coming presidential election; hut it is confidently hoped that the few which are given above, will be sufficient to cause every republican citizen u Ct rrudent,y atul patriotically, and that if he even entertain prejudices, he may be constrained to sacrifice them at the altar of the public good, and to join the millions who will again give their suffrages to him whom the people delight to honor, and who has honored his country, botli in thefield of battle and in the chair of State. As friends of our common country, as patriots and as republicans we have weighed the matters laid before you, and we hare presented for your suffrages ts electors of President and Vice

Presidfintj the natnei of George Boon, of Sullivan county; James Blake of Marion; Arthur Patterson, of Parke; Nathan B. Palmer, of Jeffcrsonj Marks Crume, of Fayette; (as certain Electors) and Thomas Givcns, of Posey; Alexanders. Burnett, of Floyd; Walter Armstrong, of Dearborn and John Kctcham, of Monroe, as contingent Electors who are to have precedence in the order of their names. Who will faithfully respond to your sentiments, if elected, and again give the vote of Indiana, to him whom she has twice before honored, but who has only once been permitted o receive the intended reward of his merits. Mr. Culloy from the. committee appointed for that purpose, reported the following resolutions Rcsokr', That we heartily concur with our fellow-citizens, in recommending the present Chief Magistrates for re-election, believing that the peace, prosperity, and well being of these U. S. and the Republican party, arc involved and vitally interested in the result. Resolved, That Ave approve of the measures of the present administration, and especially the late change of the Cabinet, the payment of the National Debt, tho removal of the Indians, and the rigid system of economy and accountability effected and recommended by our present revered President Andrew Jackson. Rooked, That the present Chief Magistrate, in yielding to the solicitations ol his friends, to serve another term, is not transcending any limits established by the Republican party, hut acting on approved precedent; affording the only true means of testing the utility and wisdom of his, measures and vindicating his character from unjust aspersion.

This has nobeen accomplished without very cont sidcrable expence the fact is,upwardof FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS have been expended in EMBELLISIIiULNTS alone which comprise no less than SIXTY BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS, ON VAUIOPS SUBJECTS, AND SOME OF THEM OF A SUF-EIIIOR AND COSTLY STYLE. in addition to' these, there may also be included two appropriate engraved title pages, with indexes to accompany the volumes, and fifteen pieces of Music, of thejnost approved kinds which with more than six hundred and seventy-two large and closely printed pages of Letter pres together comprises two volumes of the Lady's Book, one of the cheapest publications in the United States being famished to subscribers monthly, at the moderate price of $3 per annum.

Its increased size will afford us an opportunity to present our readers with a much greater quantity and variety ol intelligence than heretofore. The character of the paper is presumed to be well knawn. It has been in existence nearly nine years, and for the three last years has been published twice a week during the session of the Legislature.
