I think that fund ought_ to be distributed up-

no very distant period, a total loss of the en-
tire domain. Considering the other abund-

On the subject of Abolition, I am persua-
ded it is not necessary to say one word _to
this enlightened assemblage. My oplmon
was fully expressed in the Senate of the U-
nited States a few years ago, and the expres-
sion of it was one ofthe assigned causes of
mv not receiving the nomination as a candi-
date for the Presidency in December, _l839.
But ifthere be one who doubts or desires to
obtain further information about my views,
in respect to that unfortunate question, I re-
fer him to Mr. Mendenliall, of Richmond,
Indiana.
rrua MUMMERIES or 1840.
I hope and believe, fellow citizens, that
brighter days and better times are approach-
ing. All the exhibitions of popular feeling
—all the manifestations of the public wishes
--this spontaneous and vast assemblage de-
ceives us, ifthe scenes and the memorable
‘events of 1840 are not going‘ to be renewed
and reenacted. Our opponents complain of
the means which were employed to bring
about that event. They attribute their loss
to the public confidence, to the popular meet-
ings and processions, to the display of ban-
ners, the use of log cabins, the Whig songs,
and the exhibition of coons, which preceeded
the event of '40. How greatly do they de-
ceive themselves! What little ‘knowledge
do they display of human naturel All these
were the there jokes of the campaign. The
event itself was produced, by a strong, deep,
and general conviction pervading all classes.
and impressed by a dear bought experience,
that a change of both measures and men was
indispensible to the welftre of the country.
It wasa great and irresistable movement
of the people. Our opponents were unable
to withstand, and were borne down by a
popular current, for more powerful than
that of the father of waters.
The symbols and insignia, of which they
complain, no more created or impelled that
current, than the objects which float upon
the bosom of the Mississippi give impetus to
the stream. Our opponents profess to ‘be
great friends of the poor, and to take.a great
interest in their welfare, but they do not like
the log cabins in which the poor dwelli-
They dislike their beverage of hard cider.
They prefer sparkling champaign, and per-
haps their taste is correct, but they ought to
reflect that it is not within the poor man’s
reach. They have a mortal hatred to our
unofiending coons, and would prefer any oth-
er quadruped. And as for our Whig songs
to their ears they appear grating and full of
discord, although chanted by the lovlicst
daughters, and most melodious voices of the
land’! We are very sory to djsoblige our
democratic friends, but I am afraid they will
have to reconcile themselves as well as they
can, to our log cabins, hard cider, and whig
songs. Popular excitement demonstrating a
lively interest in-the administration of pub-
lic affairs, is fir preferable to a state of still-
ness, of sullen gloom, and silent acquiescence
which denotes the existence ofdespotism, or
a state of preparation for its introduction.--
And we need not be disturbed, if that ex-
citement should sometimes manifest itself in
ludicrous, but innocent foriris. But our 0p~
ponents seem to have short memories. 'Who
commenced that species ofdisplay and exhi-
bition of which they now so bitterly com-
plain .7‘ Have they already forgotten the
circumstances attendant on the campaigns of
1828 and 1832? I-lave they forgotten the
use which they made ofthe hog—the whole
hog bristles and all ? Has the scene esca-
ped their recollection, of bursting the heads
out of barrels, not of hard cider, but of beer,
potiring their contents into ditches. and then
drinking the dirty liquid? Do they cease
to remember the use which they made ofthe
hickory poles, and hickory boughs? On
more occasions than one, when it was pre-
viously known that I was to pass on a par-
ticular road, have I fotind the way obstruct
cd by hickory boughs, strewed along it.-
Aud I will not take up your time by narra-
ting the numerous instances of mean, low,
and vulgar indignity, to which I have been
personally exposed. Our opponents had bet-
ter exercise a little philosophy on the occas-
ion. They have been otir masters. in .em-
ploying symbols and devices to operate upon
the passions of the people. And. if they
would reflect and philosophize a little, they
would arrive at the conclusion. that. when-
ever an army or a political party achieves a
victory over an adversary by means of any
new instrument or stratagetn, that ad-vcrsary
will be sure, sooner or later, to employ the
sime means.
I am truly glad to see our opponents re-
turning to a sense oforder and decency. I
should be still happy, if I did not fear tltatit
was produced by the mortification of a past
defeat, and the apprehension of one that a-
waits them ahead, rather than and through,
a thorough reformation of manners. Most
certainly, I do not approve of appeals to the
passions of the people, or of the use of dis-
gusting or unworthy means to operate on
their senses or their understandings. Al-
though I can look and laugh, atthe employ-
ment of hogs and coons, to influence the ox-
ercise of the elective franchise, I should be
glad to see them entirely dispensed with, I
should greatly prefer to see every free cit-
izen of the United States deliberately consid-
ering and determining how he can best pro-
mote the honor and prosperity of his coun-
try, by the exercise of his inestimable priv-
ileges,!and coming to the polls unaffected by

his suffrage. I should prefer to see calum-
ny, falsehood and detraction totally abandon-
ed. and truth, sincerity, honor and good faith
alone practiced in all our discussions; and
1 think I may venture to assure our oppo
nents that whenever they are prepared to
conduct our public discussions and popular
elections, in the manner and upon-the princi-
plcs which I have indicated. the I/Vhig party
will be as prompt in following their good
example, as they were slow and reluctant to
imitate their bad one. The man does not
breathe who would be more happy than 1
should he, to see all parties united, as a band
of brothers, to restore our beloved country to
what it has been, to what it is so capable of
being, to what it ever should be, the great
model ofselfgovernnieiit, the boast of en-
lightened and liberal men throughout the
world, and by the justice, wisdom and benef-
icence of its operation. the terror and the
dread ofalltyrants. I knotv and deplore,
deeply deplore the demoralization which has
so extensively prevailed in our country, dur-
ing a fetv past years. It should be to every
man who has an American heart, it source of
the deepest mortification, and most painful
regret. Falsehood and treachery, in high
places, speculation and fraud among public
servants, distress, embarrassment and ruin,
among the people, distracted and dishearten-
ed at home, and treated with contempt and
ubloquy abroad, compose the sad features,
during the period to which I have adverted
of our unfortunate national picture. I should
rejoice to see this great country once riiore
itselfagain, and the history of the past fifteen
years shrowded in a dark and impenetrable
veil. And why shall we not‘see it? VVe
have only to will it, to revive and cultivate
the spirit which tvon for us and bequeathed
to us, the noble heritage which we enjoy;
we have only to rally around the. institutions
and interests of otir beloved country, regard-
less of every other consideration, to break if
necessary the chains of party, and rise in the
majesty of freemen. and stand out and stand
up, firmly resolved to dare all, and do all, to
preserve, in unsnllitd purity, and perpetuate
unimpared, the noble inheritance, which is
our birth right, and sealed to us with the
blood of our fathers.

One word more and I am done. I repeat
that I had anticipated much gratification
from my visit to your State. I had long
anxiously wished to visit it, to tread the soil
on which American Independence was first
proclaimed: to triingle with,,the descendants
of those who were the first 'to question the
divine right of Kings, and who, themselves,
are surpassed by none in devotion to the
cause of human liberty, and to the Constitu-
tion and the Union, its best securities. On-
ly one circumstance has happened to dimin-
ish the satisfaction of my journey. VVhr~n I
left my residence in D--cember, I anticipated
the happiness of meeting among'ot~hers, your
Gaston, then living. I had known him long
and well, having served with him morethan
a quarter of a century ago in the House of
Representatives. He united all the qualities
which command esteem and admiration——
bland, pure, patriotic, eloquent, learned and
pious, and was beloved by all who knew
him. Vllhilst we bow in dutiful submission
to the will of Divine Providence,who.tluring
the progress of my journey, has called him
from his family and country, we cannot but
feel and deplore the great loss which we
have all sustained. [share it largely with
you, fellow citizens, and it is shared by the
whole Union. To his bereaved family and
to you, I offer assurances of my sincere sym-
pathy and condolence. -
VVe are about, Fellow citizens. finally to
separate. Never again shall I behold this
assembled multitude. No more shall I
probably ever see the beautiful City of the
Oaks. Never more shall I mingle in the
delighful circles of its hospitable and accom-
plished inhabitants. But you will never be
forgotten in this heart of tnine. My visit to
your State is an epoch in my life. I shall
carry with me every where, and carry back
to my ownpatriotic State, a grateful recollec-
tioii of the kindness, friendship and hospitali-
ties which I have experienced so generously
at your hands. And whatever may be my
future lot or destiny, in retirement or public
station, in health or sickness, in adversity or
prosperity, you may count upon rue as an
humble but zealous co-operator with you in
all honorable struggles to replace the Gov-
ernment of our Country, cnce more, upon a
solid, pure and patriotic basis. I leave with
yoti, all that is in my power to offer, my
fervant prayers that one ‘and all of you may
be crowned with the choicest blessings of
Heaven, that your days may be lengthed out
tolthe utmost period of human existence,that
they may be unclouded, happy and prosper-
ous, and that when this mortal career shall
terminate, you may be translated to a better
and brighter world.

Summer Pmagmp/ts.—ls it not strange,
that for one summer at least, the papers have
not been complaining of scarcity of every-
thing-—-short crops, wheat worm, crows in

summer is two thirds gone, and we hear of

Too PoZilc.—The Catholic clergy, it is

From the Agricullurisl.
. Plasleruo longer Bent:/icz'al.—When in
Putnam" county, and other places the past
month, we heard complaints among the far-
mers that gypsum (plaster ol Paris) no lon-
ger acted beneficially upon their land. The
reason of this is thus explained by Leibig:
‘When we increase the crops ofgrass in a
meadow by means of gypsum, we remove a
greater qtiaritity of potash with the hay than
can under the same circumstances be restor-
cd —hence it happens, that after the lapse of
several years, the crops ofgrass on the mead-
ows manured with gypsum diminish, owing
to the deficiency of potash.
From the above extract it will be. seen
that nothing is wanted but the application of
ashes or potash to the land, when plaster
will again act upon it with its fortner good
effects. Plaster will also be found beneficial
again after manures have been used’ for a
few years, more especially when made ofan
interniixture of swamp~inuck or peat-earth.

MR. WM. M. OLIVER & THE WOOL
' SALE. .
We stated several days since that Mr. 'Oli
ver the Cashier of the Yates County Bank
and a loco foco member of Congress. had a-
greed with a wool merchant to wait for the
payment ofa billof wool of about $800
which the latter had purchased, until the
election of Mr. Polk, on condition that if he
was elected the purchaser should pay him.
double the amount. This statement is cop-
ied by the'New York Express, and in that
paper of yesterday the editors say they have
been requested by Mr. Oliver to deny that
he is a member of Congress-—-that he has
had any wool to sell this season—or that he
has bet $800 upon the election of Mr. Polk.
Upon examination we find that Mr. O. is
not now, but he was a member of the last
Congress, and this we believe is the only er-
ror in our statement. Mr_. Oliver says he
has had no wool to sell this season. VVill
he deny thata lot of wool was sold in June
to a wool merchant of New York in which
he had an interest? He says that he has
not bet 3800 upon the election of Mr. Polk.
-Will he deny that he agreed to wait for, the
payment of the above named lot of wool un-
til.Mr. Polk was elected. upon the above
conditions, and that he afterwards called up-
on the purchaser and requested payment,
saying that he wanted the money as he was
going to the Springs? We do not- believe
he will venture to deny these things, for we
had our infortiiation from the gentleman who
bought the wool, (one of the most respectable
wool dealers in New York.) and there is no
doubt in our minds of its truth. We believe
the denial made by Mr. Oliver in the Ex-
press is a mere quibble, and that our first
statement is substantially,true.

Escape of a. Murderer.-—We learn from
the Memphis (Tenn) Eagle that Charles
Lewis, who murdered Mr. Isaac Goodall, a
member of the Tennessee Legislature, at
Gllatin, a few weeks since,has escaped prob-
ably to Texas. The circumstances of the
murder are related as follows: A wagon ar-
rived in Gallatin, with a poke stalk stuckup
in it; some one directing Mr. Goodall's at-
tention to it, he remarked ‘I'll pull it down.’
‘If you do,’ remarked Lewis. ‘I'll kill you.’
Not thinking the demon to be in earnest,
Mr. Good:-ll did -take hold of the weed and
pull it out of the wagon. Lewis immediate-
ly drew a pistol, upon noticing tthicli,
Goodall laid the palm of his hand , on his
shoulder and l{ll'l(ll_V remarked. ‘why ‘you're
not .ofl't-nded are you Lewis .7’ when the
wrctch w_ithotit saying a word, shot him
through and killed him. The Governor

of $700 for his apprehension.

The Banner tries to ward offthe force of Mr.
Burrall’s conversion, and by false insinuations,
intimates that he is a “dry meeted curse,” not
worth the “butter it would take to cook” him.
We are modestly asked to give “all ilie particu-
lars" connected with the change. As it is very
natural that the Hartford Donkey, (considering
his recent turning out.) should know verylitile

fy him with the particulars. Mr. Burrall has
atways claimed to be a democrat, and his view,
of democracy have held him in connection with
the (falsely so called) clcmocralic party. He
has, to be sure. never been a ranting locqfoco,
and his mauliness has sometimes lead him to
express his dislike for some ofthe old federalists
ofthe indigo stamp, who find an asylu_tn in the
bosom ofihat party. As to “acting with tlietn."
we presume he has done about as much in that
line as any members of the party in this place
ofthe better sort. “.70 have a few oftliat kind
in our eye, that would talk astleniocratic asvou

would accept it as democratically as any one,
but they would as soon be caught stealingvn

with their political brt.tl;.ren, or be found breath-
ing the some atmosphere, and mixing up i with
them in their conclavcs and hic-oping oigies.—
