Obituary of hs Jachsoa P,es9.-Sinee the exhaustion of finds and extinction of credit in the Post Office Department, fhere has been Iamentable mortality among is stipendiaries. The Democratic Chronicle of this city hung a month or two by the gills--erected its crest after the death ot the Staudard-spo<e of enlargement and new type-expressed thanks for an in- creasing and liberal patronage, but was seized a week or two ago, with sudden and unaccountable paralysis, of which ii died. The New York Daily Gazette shar- ed similar fate. The North American. a violent tory print established at the city of Washington to promote the views of Mar in Van Buren upon the Presidency, has likewise become defunct. The Jefferson ian Democrat also, which emerged into 'ex- istence some six or seven weeks ago at New Haven, the chief end of whose being was to glorly Andrew Jackson, has also kicked the bucket.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

Our only object, in copying the editorials of the Gazette into the columns ofthe Ad- vocate, is to give the reader a clue to the signs of lie times, at the metropolis of the Territory. We find the following in that paper of Tuesday last:
 Co,a4esg.--W understand that Gov. PoPE has been making sad complaints, because Of our publishing in our paper of the l9th ut. the proceedings Of a public meeting he'd at Jenesboro', in which he IS pretty severe ly censured, and thinks we ought to have had eoug4esg enough to have shown them to him Helore publishing them. Couresa, Hz deed! Pray, did he treat us with courtesy wien he recently gave ttree-thoHso dol taF-job, in our line, te 8 eempefiter-=aHd a stranger in the Territory, too-sith8at so much a. giving us the slightest animation that he was prepared to lett oul Goufte- sy, ha Ne are pot very squeamish as fo little matters of etiquette or courtesy but tafee-thoHsaad-dotterjo5 IS not to hs sneezed at, these hard times. Gov. Pope must learn to treat others with courtesy, |! he looks for 1t from them.
 1 Rut-the Jonesboro' proceedings.--- They were sent 10 us for publication as an aduel tisemeat, and were published and charged Ter as such. ffGov. Pope deems a reply necessary tor his justification, we tender him the use of our columns oa the sdme terms.

If the assault was admitted free ot charge, the reply was also--so, also, if we required pag from the assaiiant, the same was re. Q'lired for the reply. This, perhaps, ma, not tally with Gov.

How does t happen that Maj.

ADDRESS soT SENATOR TipToN. .-4On among l.! the ' q. Senator Tipton, of indiana, published an ad- dress. giving an account of the course of events, curing the late session of Congress, more especially as those related to the in- terests of that state. Ii will be remember cd that Gen. I'ipton was elected as a moderate Jackson man" in part by other than Jackson votes, in opposition to whole hog man. He has generally hereto fore voted on The administration side. though doubtless with occasional mlsgiyings as to the propriety of doing so:-semetlmes against the party: showing in fact, as far as we might judge from appearances and from these votes, that Mir. Tipton's general wish was to support the Jackson adminis- tration. The following Is an extract rem Mir. Tipton's address-ttom which it will be at once evident that if he ever had any notion for the collar, he IS now done with ii. Bal. Pat.
 "A bill passed both Houses of Congress appfopriatine money to improve the naviga- ton oi the Wabash river, bni to this bill, So important to Indiana and Illinois, the Pres ident of the U. States has seen fit to refuse his sanction. This extraordinary Proee- dure is in my opioion irreconciiahle with his approval of biiis for improving the naytga- tien of the Cumberland and the Hudson rivers, unless the advocates of this policy seek 10 shelter themselves by claiming more for rivers watering the States of Ten nessee and New York than they are will ling to allow to the rivers of Indiana and Illinois.
 ssThis is a subject thai addresses itself 10 the sober sense ofevery tnan in the com munity. who takes any interest in the growth and prosperity of the west. The people of Indiana would do well upon all future occasions to pause before they lend a bind support to men of doubtful politics; for if we give up Internal Improvements, a pro- teetive tariff. and the regulation of the e8r- rency, what is Jeff us worth eontendng foR
 "E1ad the bill for improving the Wabash become a law, we could truly have said that more had been done for Indiana this year, than during any former session of 1 O0tigfess e&t6pts peIilaPas lidt ol 1o@o-f7 ! when the grant of land was obtained for our canal. It's failure Is il no wise attri- butable to inattention or want of exertion on the part of your delegation, and must be deeply deplored by every friend of the State.
 "Let Us not despair however of ultimate success in cur laadable undertakings to improve our country by constructing Gam als and removing Instructions to the naYl- gation of our rivers. Ne have commence ed and have right to look far aid from the General Go9ernment, and the opposition of no one individual, however elevated be may be, can long resist the vii of the freemen Of Inc west, when expressed through the ballot boxes."
