PULPIT ELOQUENCE.

Mir Hume has given specimen of Whit fields pulpit eloqucnce, fully as bold as any thing which is to be found in ancient oratory: and which coming at the close of the ser mon, accompanied with the most animated and perfect action, he assures us, surpassed any thing he ever saw or heard in the pulpit
 Whitfield. after solemn pause, thus ex- claimed, "The attendant angel is just about to leave the threshold, and ascend to heaven: and shall he depart and not bear with him the news of enc sinner, among all this mul- titude, reclaimed from the errorof his ways , Then he lifted up his hands and eyes to hea- yen-siamped his foot, and with gushing tears, cried aloud, "slop, Gabriel, stop, Ga briel, stop, ere you enter the sacred portals, and yei carry with you, the tidings of ono sinner converted to God.n Then turning to his hearers, in the most simple, but energetic language, he described q Saviour's dying love The effect was electrical-the assembly melt ed into tears.

 Thus ended fight, unparalleled in the his- tory of this country for the galIanFy dis played on both sides, its close and deadly struggle, and the triumphant success of the gallant partizan Captain of the West, at the head oi his brave followers. scarcely know which to admire most, the skill and courage of the officer who commanded, on that occasion, or his modesty when giving the details which are here narrated Con- cealing his own deeds, he did ample justice to lis comrades, and at the close of his nar- ratpe, S5llshed, to find himself tanous."- As brave man, he was before celebrated; as a skill(ul and able officer, he now holds that rank to which he was justly entitled, and well does he deserve the praise and ad- miration of his conntrymen.
 The result of this contest is we'll worthy of the attention of our frontier men who are constantly engaged in conflicts with our h. dian foes, as'evincing the advantages resulting from discipline and obedience to orders.- The only security tothe men in this instance against such oYerpowering numbers, was ill keeping a serried front, and giving mutual assistance; and had they have been scattered by too great eagerBess. or Hadue tmidity, all must have perished save those, the speed oI whose horses might have saved them.
 Hays brings the pleasing intelligence that the wounded men are all doing well and fast recovering He computes the loss o the Indians at one half their numbers killed and wounded. Twenty-three were counted dead on the field No shot was fired at { distance. of more than eight or ten paces except the last, and no more that one hundred and fifty shots fired i'll all. ' ou can wei imagine the execution that must have beer done, at such distance, by arms in tht hands of men who are in the constant us' of them. It was a glorious fight, and tri umphantly ended.
 ! have given yon the above account as re ceived from Capiain Hays, and although th' language is not his, still there is no embelish ment of the facts. l have stated what h said, and have no doubt of the truth of every word of it. have written 1t as prope need of. praise for an action which has, i my opinion, no parallel inthe history of oa l country CT aiiy other.

were at that time treated rather lightly by
some who were foremost in his nominal
ton, and Tor the reason,as we always sup
posed, this individual entertained the idea
that it was not good policy to make slaves
OF the free laborers of the north by falling
in with southern principles; in other
words, he was Wing Abolitionist; and
the gentleman who went so strongly for
Mr.. P's nomination and made objections
to the other individual to whom we have
referred, is as much distinguished for his
locofocosm as for any other trait of char
acter. If these things did happen in a
corner, they are none the less significant,
especially when viewed in connection with
the following from the Freeman Gale
donidn.
"MR. PUTNAM.--The democratic papers in this
district have tried hard to get up the impression,
that George Putnam, the Liberty candidate for
Congress, is Wing and we have lately perceived
that the story is believed by some of the democrats
Now we would inform these papers and whoever it
may concern that Mr.. Putnam is not Wing, and
never was, and there is little prospect that he ever
will be, in the modern sense or application of that
term. We expect that the papers which have made
this false statement, will cheerfully correct their
error, especially as they have found so much fault
with our party for selecting so large a proportion
of their candidates for Office from men who form :
crly belonged TO the Wing party"

WHY TEXAS SHOULD BE AN
NEXED

The Democratic Association" of
Washington, in the pamphlet which SEN
ator Walker has been circulating so in
dustriously at the South, give the follow
ing as the conclusive reason why Texas
should be annexed to the Union:
By the last census, the North has 1876
representatives in Congress, and the South
but SO, leaving majority of al in favor
of the North, which is still increasing at
every census. The Senate is still equally
divided, but Wisconsin and Iowa are both
to be admitted as free states and if Flor
ida were admitted at the same time, it
would make majority against us in the
Senate The only hope of the South,
then, is in the Annexation of Texas, chich
could give The South a majority in The SEN
ate, whilst the North maintained its pre-
ponderance in the House, and thus give eff
| )eciurl security 10 the South, and greatly
tend to preserve and perpctuate the Un-
ion, which with the growing spirit of Abb
clifton in the North, would be greatly en-
dangcred by giving to the North the un-
restrained majority in both houses of Con-
gress."
The chief object of the Annexationists,
then, is to make sure of majority in The
Senate, and thus give eflectual security
to the South" or in other words, strength
en- and perpetuate the institution of Slave
ny by the help of an unvarying majority
of Slave States in the higher branch Of
the National Legislature. This, be il re-
membered, is the reason openly avowed
by Mr. Folks leading partisans at the seal
of Government for their advocacy of the
project of Annexation. Their whole aim
is to secure fixed and lasting preponder-
ance for the South in the United States
Senate. The people of the North have
been again and again assured that the de-
sign was to divide Texas into three slave
holding and threenon, slaveholding States,
thus leaving the relative strength Of the

ARKANSAS-GREAT WING VIC
TORY

Not having heard any thing from this
State, we had supposed that they had re-
ported the result Of their recent election
to the government of Texas. The Cincin-
natl Gazette of the 10th, received last
evening, however, gives us little item of
news from that far distant Locofoco re-
gion. The Gazette has the following
"The news by Mail Boat, yesterday,
was, that Arkansas had elected a Wing
Governor"
If Arkansas has done any such thing
as this-which we certainly do not be-
lleve-we shall begin to doubt the success
of the Wing cause. We would be almost
as willing to have New Hampshire vote
with us.-Bost. .AlaS.

THE PROSPECT IN INDIANA.

En'ract Of Letter from an intelligent cit
i-en of Indiana, 10 The Editor Of The A.
bany Journal.
SOUTH BEND, St. Joseph's Co. Oct II.
We have no hesitation in assuring our
Eastern friends that this State will cast
her vote for Henry Clay. The canvass is
going on with much animation. We are
to have two mass meetings for the North
ern counties of the State-one at Goshen
and one at Laporte. We expect to carry
the State by majority of from to TO-
900 on the electoral vote. We have some
dark corners where the people cannot
read--here the Locos will prosper, but
the day Of their glory is gone their Samp
son is shorn; and their Polk, like pesti-
lence, will be killed by the Novcmbes
frosts. We look to New York as the
weak always look to the strong. We are
bound TO elect Henry Clay at any rate, OIL
we might as well pack up our traps and
prepare for emigration to Oregon or Cali.
fornia. Yours truly.
