l.. NJ, CHAMBERLAIN.

The loco papers Of this State are indus'riousiv
circulating, "a latter from E. NJ. Chamberlain a
member Of the Senate's Investigating Committee
last winter, to his constituents. 1t is gwen "as
a sort Of supplement 10 the report OF the commit
,ee'' of which he was a member, and is more deep
Iy imb ned with the spirit OF mal'gni,v, meanness
aud faIsehood, than any thing We have seen for a
long time. The circular is made up Of low vul.
gariiy and personalities, and exhibits It's author
possessed Of a mind i'll a, ease with itself or with
the conduct Of his fellow man. II is a vile and
vindictive thrust at several prominent individuals
Of the Wing party, and is no doubt intended for
political effect regardless Of truth. II just such
a production as We should suppose f. Nj. Cham
beria,n would delight IN putting forth to the world.
Without presuming to be a physiognomist, we re-
cognize in this circular every feature Of the black
hearted politician, that can at all times be seen
teemirg from his countcuance, inaImost every
sentence Of the circular.
The charges made by Mr.. Chamberlain are un-
sustained by proof and are made up from the
slang which has been heretofore published from
one end of this state TO the other; and had the
author been known, even this notice of IL would
have been unnecessarv.
The Land BiH.--We mus, consider the votes
taken in the Senate and House Of Representatives
on The 3Oth inst, on the bill to suspend or repeal
The law authorizing the distribution of the pro-
ceeds Of the public lands among the States as
final on the sui ject-and we congratulate the peo-
pie Of our own State and Of our sister States up
on the failure Of this measure Of repeal. The OBJ
lect Ola ma lority of those who advocated the repeal
is 10 increase the revenue Of the general govern
ment 10 such sum as will require but a nominal
duty on foreign imports 10 sustain the government.
The stlck!ers for a low Tariff or no Tariff at oil,
are in favor of tho Distribution act, while the
friends of a healIhful and wise policy, a protec'
tive Tariff are opposed to the repeal Of the Law.
The question should now bo considered as perma-
nently settled, and the future Legislation OF Con
gress should be framed with that understanding.
The proceeds Of the Land will be very acceptable
to Indiana during her emborrassments and diff
CulIles.

Report of the Commissioner Of Patents.

,c-By The kindness of o H. sMIrH, We nave received
the Report of the Commjsaioner OF Patenss, for the year
Ie4I. Il appears that the whole number of patents issued
by the L. 5. Is considerably upwards of 1900; and that
the annual number granted j. no, far from 500. The ordi-
nary expenses OF this institution were last year more than
%. 600 dollars; and vet 4 surplus Of g or 5000 dollars re-
mains 10 be credited to the patent fund, showing AZ eminent
ability III the Office 10 sustain itself. The commissioner
says. "Frauds are pfactised on the community by articles
stamped patent when no patent has been obtained: and
many inventors continue 10 sell, under the sanction Of the
patent law, after their patents nave expired. To remedy
these evils, the expediency 0: requiring all patentees 10
stamp the articles yended with the date of the patent, and
furnishing by u sufficient penalty the stamping Of unPa'ensed
articles as patented, or vending them as such,'' &c. 'is re-
spectlulIy suggested. Almost daily inquiries at the Patent
Office exhibit the magnitude of such frauds. and the nceessI-
~ Of guarding efectuaIy against them.' The commission
er likewise proposes that the inventors and propFietors ''of
new and or isinal designs for articles Of manufacture, both
in the fine and useful arts,'' should be allowed the benefit Of
a patent. lie thinks that, ''by the aid of chimistry the
west ill soon find one Of their greatest exports 10 be oil"
TINS is procured by a simple and cheap process from lard:
and is said 10 equal any in use, either for light or the pur-
pose. Of the manufacturer. The residue oil the lard, called
stearine, is formed into candles as a substitute for sperma-
ceti. Our corn, too, appears to open a door for enterprise
of a rather novel character. II is calculated THAI by pro-
per attention 10 the stalks, 1000 lbs. oil sugar per acre, may
be extracted from them.
1t is the duty of the commissioner OF patents to repor'
also such agricultural statistics ashe ma be able to procure;
and by his present exposition, Indiana, though placed
among the States as the ninth III point Of population, stands
among the foremost as An agricultural district, in regard to
the following articles: She is the Bird, in the quantity o.
Hay; 9Th, IN Sugar, Wine, Flax and Hemp, Wheat and
Com; 18th, in the number of Swine, Horses and Mules, and
in the quantity of Hops; 9Th, in Oats, Tobacco, and Sheep;
9th, in Wool. In Potatoes, Cotton, Silk, the products o:
the Orchard, the Dairy, the amount of homemade goods,
the value of Poultry, and OF the products Of the Garden aud
Nurseries,, she stands lower in the scale, than she does in
population.

In thus announcing the demise of = friend whose charac-

nani sorrow we feel swelling our heart. To hear Of the
death OF a stranger, or Of one who has no claims upon our
respect from a knowledge Of his virtues, excites but a re-
Election that ~e are all suhJectt to the power Of Him Who is
omnipotent; bar when we learn ;hat one wiki whom we
have long been familiar, the bsnevoleuce OF whose heart,
and the magnanimity Of whose disposition has won our e-
TEEN, we feel that a vacuum has been created in the afe =
