SnSSi 'WITHOUT TAXING THEIR POCKT8 /br DOLLAR, let them fell into the embraces •/such a man as James Whitcoreb! It is our duty to aboe facts before the People: it tbeir privilege to act upon their own interests, as may seem to them fit. All we ask is that the true position of tit* Locofoco party shall be nndetstood.

The State of Indiana is indebted in the aam of ele-

ren millions, six hundred and thirty-One thousand, three hundred and forty-two dollar*, and sixty-fear cents, upon which there accrues a yearly interest ol fire hundred and eighty-one thousand, five hundred and mttr-seven dollars and ten cents. Shall this debt be paid? this is the first question to be settled. Is there a man so base as to answer not It is a debt which has been contracted in good fotth. and for the payment 5 of which our honor is pledged. It is a debt whose li« quidation involves the aB of widows, orphan children and dependent families whosemeans have been invested in our stocks lor safety! Indiana is not the soil upon whichsubsisis the race of RoftBGfts who will assume the soul-damning position that this Commonwealth shall repudiate one dollar of this liability! It must be paid then, IVhent and by what meanst are the next inquiries. At this moment we are nnahle to meet even the interest. Shall matters remain in this condition? Shall interest be suffered to accumulate interest, until the load becomes appalling? What_piudent man would thus act with his own affairs? Then the interest on that debt, if it be possible, should, at any rate he promptly paid. How shall it bo paid?

There is surplus treasure on hand, with which to pay it. There are no resources for the purpose—the absorption of the Locofoco Scrip notes absorbs all the present energies of the Treasury. But one alternative remains then, [if we narrow the view of this question to the preaent condition of things] and that is DIRECT TAXATION- Are the people prepared for thiato-efay? If not, will they be better prepared next year, when aimpie shall have become compound interest? or ihe year after, when yet an additional accumulation will exiai7 By no means, by no means!!

The General Government is indebted to the State of Indiana for her share of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands. These lands belong to the States and, of tfieir sales, encji is entitled to a ratable proportion of the proceeds. Assuming the lowest possible calculation, as 10 pecuniary embarrassment and the character of theeaies, under the polijgyof the Distribution Bill, as advocated by the Whigs, the yearly share of Indiana will be the sum of one hundred and thirty thousand dollars—this was ihe result in 1839, while in 1834-5-6, this income swelled to an annual average of five hundred thousand dollars! Is this a matter to be thrown away by the People1

But take a broader view of this question. Under the operation of the proposed scheme of Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, Indiana would receive (he turn of six MILLIONS, rwo HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS in Government stock, as her proportion of the Public Domain. Deduct this from the eleven millions, six hundred and thirty one thousand, three hundred and forty-two dollars of our whole debt, and there will remain to be paid but five millions, four hundred and thirty-one thousand three hundred and forty-twO dollars upon ''which there will be, instead of tho present annual interest or $581,567 10, but an interest of two hundred and seventy-one thousand, five hundred and sixty-five dollars to be rniecd from the People. This is matter of

FACT, for which the figures are at hand and of which demonstration is capable of being made. Allow, now, but a moment of reasonable conjecture conjecture 'based upon data that cannot widely deceive, to say tbe least, and observo what rapid progress may. be mad* in .1 the payment of the whole Debt of Indiana!

The preaent contracts on the Wabash Wrid Erle'Cairal will be completed during the present year, making a complete navigation which imipt, we feellittle hesitation in saying, yield immediately at least one hundred '-"thousand dollars which will reduce mirliability to one hundred and seventy-one thousand five hundred and sixty-fivo dollars. 1 his sum will annually be in'/creased from tolls. &c. by the influx of population in* to the Wabash Valley, and the continued extension of

the canal. When at Terre Haute tlieraail linei will be united (by Companr if not bv the State,) with „the Eel River feeder, adding 30 miles to its extension so that the calculation is extremely plausible which anticipates a receipt qf one hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually from this work, after it shall have reached Terre Haute. When to this we add the fact that meanwhile the White Water Canal and Madison

Rail Road will bel approaching completion, and the State Stock in those companies will be becoming valuable, the years are not fnr distant when a handsome balance will be realized in our favor!

By this process our entire State debt, at any rate, must be REDUCED from GLEVRIT MILLIONS six hu%dred thousand dollars, to FIVK MILLIONS, FOUR HONORED thousand and the INTEREST, from FIVE HUNDRED, to TWO HUNDRED thousand dollars WITHOUT TAXING THE PEOPLE a dollar! while the moflt plausible prospects are presented that this State, in a few years, from her own works and without a resort to the people, will, by this aid, be enabled to turn the scales in her own favor!

But what is the Locofoco cry to all this! It is, NO WSTSIBUTION OF THE PUBLTO I.&NDS! In other words it i*:—THROW AWAY ihe SIX MILLIONS FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, which the General Government owes to Indiana, and leave her »o work out of her debt as best she can!! Lei the interest accumulate interest! Sink the people deeper and deeper! nm/ with the only relief at hand! Let the result be DIRECT TAXATION or REPUDIA

TION! And then to give their mnd cry the semblance of right they bawl out—" The Whigs desire the Gene•

Government to jtaythe Debts of the States.™ If this most singular party are asked whti they op* pose this Riilief to the People, their answer is, that the General Government—the ofitce holdera—need the money to carry on the Government aftd henee it must not be distributed to the States! As if the Whigs did not intend, by a protective Tariff, to create a revenue from EfiiTisii MANUFACTURES, with which to shield the people from Direct Taxation for that purpose while he public lands, their rightful property, snail be left

JO Mfrom S*ATR indebtedness!! Reader, ponder upon these facts, and decide, as a man of common sense, what reason exists for the support of such a thing as Locofocoism! .?» wtmrn

A NEW AND ODIOUS DOCTRINK.

But, as far as we are informed *riL 'h® Message of the Governor of the State «V"myl*ania, returning to the Legislature the sec•mi bill which it had offered for his approbation on the raqieet, contains the first official annunciation of tha wctrine that each nn influence is contemplated bv the Uonstitntion of the United States!

nshes frqm the influence of a cause over which, under the peaceful operations of our laws, they have had no control., They htive witnessed the growth of the political foe in otir State councils, by the operation of results caused by themselvcs-^-their differences and divisions—and, as its consequence, they have been forced to endure the odious ascendency of that party in the Legislature, and have reaped, as its fruits, the loss of a Senator to the United States, the bitter portion of Treason and factional violence! But the domi* nance of Despotism has had its brief hour of the enjoyment of MIGHT OVER RIGHT. THE PEOPLE^ TURN for action has come NOW, and that voice which, in Other lands, might calf for atonement in open revolution, is calmly waiting to be heard at the ballot-box. Another Presidential canvass is dawning.— THE BATTLE HAS BEGUN, and our friends abroad may rest assured that it will not cease until Indiana's garments are fully cleansed from the pollution of Locofocoismt 'f The annexed extract, which we subjoin from the Michigan City Gazette, is but one among fifty of similarly toned, stirring appeals which have, within a few weeks, answered each other from the artillery of the Indiana Whig Press. We regret that we have not other articles to the same purport.

From the Michigan City Gazette: ORGANIZATION.

„»ilNow by St. Paul, the work goes bravely on." Since our last paper was published, we have had much to cheer us, in view of the approaching canvass. Then we were fearful that the base treachery of men in high stations had dampened the ardor of our friends, and thereby endangered the prospects-of success in August next. But our fears are dispelled—for every Whig messenger front the South, and every other portion of the State, brings us the busy notes of preparation. Our brethren have gone to work in earnest, and every paper we open, we see in glaring capitals, "Organize!" This speaks well for the gallant Whigs of Indiana, and if we but persevere until the day of trial, the victory will be complete* We, as whigs, have bad to bear much—the cup of treachery has been full, and we the victims. Those of whom we had a right to expect much, have basely deserted us, and if not gone to the enemy, are ?tanding on ground more dangerous to us. With professions of friendship they Have wormed themselves into our confidence, and at the moment when we looked to them for aid, they basely deserted our standard, and left us to fight our battles o'er again. Yet we are not dismayed-—and never shall be, sa long as the principles for which we contend are worth a struggle—so long as modern Democracy is the watch-word of our opponents, so long will we present a bold and unbroken front to its encroachments so long as the dangerous ultraistn of political hacks from Europe shall he sustained, so long will the gallant Whigs of Indiana, and we trust of every other portion of our couniry, stand firm—relying upon the virtue and patriotism of the people.

Governor BIGGER!

A challenge to the i*ocofoco leaders. There never has been a public officer whose trust has been executed with more fidelity than has tluit of Governor Bigger. No blot rests upon his reputation as an officer or as a man. He is shortly going before the country and let these facts follow him wherever he goes, viz:

Governor Bigger*s administration of his office has been faultless. He enme into power during an unpropitious era. Urtder his administration and at his suggestion, the State Internal Improvement System has been wound up, its offices vacated and its affairs liquidated.

By his suggestion the Locofoco Slate Scrip Has been rescued from nothingness, by being made receivable for State dues, and thus-to bo absorbed. _' []e has been the firm and undeviating friend of all great popular interests.

The two great parties |n the country iire

It is important" that tne Whig party, purged as it now is, should steer clear of divisions and personal differences, and march forward with a firm, unbroken front.. This is as important in the preparatory conflicts, oa.it is in the last, great final battle. We entreat our Whig friends, thereforqj throughout, the State to stand firm by the candidates of their party, and not to permit personal differences lo weigh a feather in casting their Votei. They should, for the time, lose sight of .all mere personal considerations, and lookiffone to the pubJic good. With such views, success now, arid hereafter, is morally certain. HENRY CLAY-AN EXAMPLE THAT

FEW MEN WILL FOLLOW. A trear relative of Mr. Clay residing to bis vitality who has been largely engaged in the purchase and manufacture of hemp for bagging and bale rope tor the New Orleans market, by tho fall in value and toe embarrassments of the tinvs which have been felt with pro'lieious force for a year past in the great south western Emporium, was lately compelled to make •j*

sign ment of his property to trustees for the benefltof jbU his creditors. The whole amount of lii» liabilities

near*50,000, about one half of which w«a tfoe Mr. Clay for advances to enable the manutftetl|r«r to prosecoto his business, so advantageous to the farming interests of Kentucky, with the: hope of an Unjr©ve m«snt in the condition of things so that snspeasion of the work and of payment might be avoided.

Theaale of the p*pperty took pl«e»boi*Va mmpaf': ago, and as usual in such cases attracted severMpuna* red persons, and amoRa^m tnaoy^tbecwili^t'-» Mr-Clay then told them in mbeutfter ifcat tl» erts*nn» ment was for the benefit of all the creditor, bnwilF included—that theamount due him was as large as all the other claims combined—that from the relationship in which he stood to the debtor, it was probable some, and perhaps many of the creditors, had become such under the expectation that if difficulty liaairtud, he, Mr. Clay, would protect them—that although there was no ground whatever for asking biro to do so, yet rather than that any man should think that ho had the slightest reason to complain of him, and. in otder farther, that every debt due to others swmld be paid, he now released "all interest under the assignment until every dollar due to the others was pqid^and then if any thing was left he would take it. The eale was made—the other creditors wore all paid,ami what little remained was all Mr. Clay got for his f25,000.

How different this from the ordinary course, when Mr. Clay being the confidential creditor, would have been r« paid, and in this case the only onepaijk and

but Henry Clay could be found, under such circumstances, to rrject the whole or at any rate his share of the proceeds

But this is a fair specimen of "Harry of thj West both in public and private lile. His country unit, aha himself last—the interests of those inon who without color of right were suspected of having relied ujc« htm, were to be preferred an'd his own postponed.

Such specimens of high-minded, honorable"coanuct, occur so rarely, that for tho honor of innukiitfl they should be chronicled as set»offs, so far as they -fo, against the drawbacks upon it we every day see happening about us, and especially in these degenerate days.—Cleveland (O.) Herald.

THE LITERATURE OF POLITICS. We cannot omit to lay before our readers now and then some specimens of the literature of politics, especially when choice samples meet the eye, drifting like random pearls In the ocean of exchanges. The following is from the Madisoman of Tuesdny, and fcrnw part of a communication which purports to come from Prince George's County. It t« signed "Moderation," which perhaps may

imply

that the writer could strike a Wgher key if he were excited. The appeal •$ addressed 7b the Bentonians aud Claffiies— and thus proceeds :—Bait. Amr.

Under this state of the case, the Whigs have surely enough to stimulate them to exertion to ensure the attainm^at of their objects. -j

"flutter in the breeze," ere they found themselves deposed in authority, end their resolutions so transformed, as to be scarcely recognizable by their originahdraftsman.

In Mississippi the "democratic" convention broke up in a row, being unable to pass resolutions satisfactory to all parties, and the Calhoun and Van Buren factions there, are widening the already large breach which separates them, and are heaping live coals upon the embers of distraction and dissension. It appears that no two State Conventions can agree upon a day for meeting in National Convention, let alone the manner to be observed in selecting Delegates.

Upon Mr. Wright's return, to New York he immediately visited Albany, and gave a rand entertainment to the Locofoco Memrs of the Legislature, State Officers, dec., and using the privilege of an entertainer, addressed them upon the approaching Presidential contest, arid endeavored to "scatter to the winds,'* all the Calhoun heresy, which had been secretly promulgated and imbibed to a dangerous extent, and which was beginning to work prejudicial to "the Magician's" interest among the locos of New York. He told them there was not a doubt that Mr. Van Buren would receive the nomination for the Presidency by t|ie Democratic National Con-, vention, and further, that'his election was "a sure thing." Since the edict of Mr. Wright has gone forth, it is more than probable that the Members of the Legislature will be "brow beaten" into a formal nomination of Mr. Van Buren, We are fearful, however, that unless Mr. Tyler is prompt.in giving the "cohesive power," the "spoils," to the Locofoco party, indiscriminately, that they will be so discouraged, as to desist, for once, in making an effort to obtajn the "helm of State." [Virginia Free Press.

PENNSYLVANIA—CURIOUS DEVELI OPEMENTS. The Harrisburg Keystone of Saturday, which bas been op to this time the organ of Governor POSTER, has an editorial article which contains some curious disclosures. It commences with a compliment upon the t*tmnesr 4jgeil$s-of Pennsylvania, 41 nd thett it proceeds t# state that Mr. Tyler has attempted *to «owttpt the State Govorttment, and adds: "We proclaim to the Democracy of Peansylvania that a bargain has been entered into, and the power and the seductions of the general government with all the hopes and feara which it can create, in being used to subsidize the press, break down the elaatic spirit of the Democratic party, and transfer its members to the special keeping of Captain Tyler Sl CO."

The proof of this is in the fact, that the Keystone, being the organ of the present Executive of the State, was plied with communications in favor of Mr. Tyler. It refused to publish them, and, as a consequence, the friends of Mr. Tyler refused to vote for its publishers as State Printers. The Keystone then adds :.

We have sacrificed much in the hbne&f cotivifction that we were doing right in sustaining the present state administration, and as proof, that we have sustained it ardently and zealously, we need but to refer to the columns ot our paper during the laat four Fears. We shall continue to support that administration in all its democratic measures, but we will repel all efforts '"jajke the columns of the Keystone teem with TYLERrSM! Communications, glowing with the beauty and power and majesty and glory ol JOHN TYLSR, have beenpresented to win manuscript, directly from the hands of DAVID RrrrENBocss PORTER, which we felt called upon by every consideration of duty and of patriotism, to reject from our columns."

The paper then says, that another communication has been handed to the editor by Governor Porter himself, though not in hts hand writing, which is published. It says that Pennsylvania stands pledged to

#OLtTICAL MOVEWENl^. The effort to create a Tyler party appear* to be made and kept up with but little system or concert of action. Those who give in iheir adhesion to the Administration seem to consider generally tbat their individual allegiance is

sufficient return for the offices which

the£ receive or expect—and thus it happens that the number of Mr. iWa's partisans continues to be proportionate to the nurobw of officers bestowed by him or at his disposal.

The Madisouian has essayed a movement intended, we preeutne, to be decisive as to the distinct formation of a Tyler party. In that journal of Wednesday an article appeared beginningjthuaf "In ^consideration of

of the noinination of JOHN TYLER for the Preatdenoy in 1844, by seven thousand voters of the city pf New York we throw out to-day the Flag on winch our principles are inscribed." That inscription. Which .is now to be seen in copital'a at the head of the editorial column of the official journal, runs thijs:

No Bank—a RKVKWTTB TARIFF—NO DISTRIBUTION— NO ABOLITIONISM—a STRICT CONSTRCCTION or THE COMSTITOTION, AS BV JKFFKRSON—NO POBIJC DEBT—AN SCONOMICAIi ADMINISTRATION OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS— AltO UNIVERSAL SUFFBAOE WITH UNTVERSAI. EDOCATION.

It has happened huher singularly that the meeting in New York which the Madisonia*

regarded aaauf-

ficiently important to mark an epoch, or in Act to give the first distinct development to a party hitherto in a chrysalis or pupa state—should be reckoned a failare by the originAtors of it-~anda failure ao complete as to destroy all prospeet of a distinct party organisation. At a meeting of the Tyler Central Committee, Major NOAH in the Chair, a resolution waa ottered and carried to the effect thai rhe Committee should throw itself into the arms of their "Democratic brethren," the members going into their respective wards to strive ta promote the interests of Mr. Tntt in that party, with a view to his nomination in the National Convention to be held at somo time or another, if the "democracy" Shall fortunately be able to agree upon tbe place where, the manner how, and the time wben. The Committee, after the passage of thia resolution, adjourned sine die

and thus. Bays the Express, dies

the Tyler party in New York. Mr. TYLER aird his friends may claim to belong to the "Democracy" with as much propriety as the same claim can be advanced by Messrs. VAN Burbn, Qal* BOON, BDCHASTAN, CASS, JOHNSON, or the friends of either respectively. Tylerism may therefore beconatdered as a new ingredient in the compound mass of "Democracy" There were heterogeneous items enoagh before in the composition to make a very curioua for*

the addition of another eloment wtll not belikely to make much difference one way or another.— Bait. American. -frt -1 1

Yes, we have been

watching hia course these fifteen years, and never had a chance till ROW, but this is a first-rate one. The occasion was thss!—John Tyler, the distressing Accident. sent in to the Senate for confirmation the name of

Henry A. Wise

aa Ambassador to France. A dead

pause ensued, after which Col. Benton arose and read to the Senate some extracts from a speech made before his apostacy by this same Henry A. Wiae to the People of Louisa county, Va., in which he condemns the subserviency of Members of Congress to the Executive will, and more especieally comes down on the practice of appointing Members of Congress to Executive stations witli nil bis mieht. That was enough. The contrast between the Whig Wise of 184D ana the Tvler Wise ol 1843 was so striking that, nothing could be offered in reply. The Senate took the question* and rejected tbe nomination—again, aad again, till tha Aa*. etdent waa tired ofmaking it.

As we may never find another opportunity to coinmend Senator Benton, let it be understood that wedo this with oar whole heart. Very possibly, he prevented the sending of an unworthy sn«i dangerous man as Minister one of the^ leading Courts of Europe. At anv rate, he put forth on the floor of toe .Senate eopie admirable Whig sentiments, whieh, though d«oard«f by their original atterer, shoafd ever be eherishwd by the People.—Caleb 1 mark us down a humble member of the 'Clay-Benton coalition.'—N.

The New York Journal of CommerCif sums up tbe number of applicants for the benefit of the bankrupt law to the present date, at no less than 40,000. A table published by order of Congress makes the number 34,232, and the dates of the return are not, cm average, later than the 5th of December last. Furthermore, the table includes no return from North Carolina, Louisiana, or the Northern District of Mississippi.

DEATH OF AN INDIAN PRINCESS./ The N. Yerk correspondent. of the National Intelligencer furnishes the following "You will have seen mentioned in the p&« fer pers the death of the young Indian squhw at the museum. She had been married but six weeks and was a very beautiful creature. I saw her a few days ago at the Park Theatre, with a circle of jewels arnund her head, and I thought her by far the prettiest woman in the house. She was the survivor of the two females of the party, the other s^uaw having died a few weeks since. The immediate causo of her death was a violent cold, taken in coming home a night or two before from a ball at the Tivoli. The omnibus in which they were returning broke down in Hudson street, and they were obliged to walk a mile through a light snow falling at tbe time. Their thin moccasins were no protection, and four or five of the Indians were ill the next morning, the bride worst of all. She died in dreadful agony of congestion of the blood on the third day, spite of the best medical attendance and every care on the part .. of the ladies of the neighborhood. "w

Tbe Indians were all standing around Her, and, on being told she was dead, they tore

their rings firom4heir ears, and stood-for some time in silence, with the blobd streaming up* on their cheeks. Their grief aAerwards liecame quite uncontrollable^ *They washed oflf all the paint with whioh they have been so gaily bedecked while hern, agd painted tbe dead "bride very gaudily ifor burial. She is interred fji the Greenwood cemetery- The most passionate affection existed between her and her husband. He is a msgnificent fellow, the handsomest Indian we have ever hat) in the cities,and a happier marriage was never £v celebrated. She followed close at bis heels wherever he went, and had scarce been separated five minutes from him at a time since her marriage. The poor fellow is an object of great commisseratioo now, for he seems Completely inconsolable. His wife was the idol of the party. They are very impatient to be away since this event, and will starl westward as soon as the sick recover.

Tho Brooklyn News, of Saturday says:— "On our way to our office this morning, we were surprised to hear cries proceeding as from under a snow drift on the sidewalk. We mentioned the circumstance to several passers by, shovels were soon procured,and several persons set about digging with a will to discover the cause. The deeper the nhovels descended in t|ie snow, the plainer was heard tbe cries, until at last a negro was discovered digging

had no sooner discovered than he inquired, "Is the end come/" On being assured that it had not, he replied, **l thought it Was by gosh, and they had forgot this saint altogedder.
