From letter in the N. Y. News, dated Washing
ton March 6, we take the following extracts:
The President intends only to fill vacancies at the
present session Of the Senate In determining
movals and appointments which it may be necessary
to make, he intends to take his time, and obtain the
best information and advice which each may ad-
NIT Of In regard 10 New York, you need not fear
that such counsel will be sought from any other quar-
tiers, than those known TO possess the confidence Of
It's true and honest Democracy, and truly and honestly
TO represent it.
The idea that loud and louder vociferation by clam
orous denagogueions for Texas was to be the great
and sole-suhcng passport TO Executive favor is now
pretty well exploded. The Presidents Inaugural on
this subject is admirable and in perfect accordance
with the true Democratic sentiment and sense of the
North in regard to Texas.
The fact is sufficiently public to warrant allu-
sion to It, that seats in the Cabinet had been rendered
TO both Mr.. Wright and Mr. B. F. Butler-to the for
mer the Treasury and the latter the War Depart
ment. Dir. Wright is understood to have declined
from his view Of his obligations to the State which
had Just elected him to Its gubernaoral chair; and
moreover to decline the highest Office in the coun-
try is way of his, which is certainly peculiar TO
him.
Dir. Butler is understood to have felt himself bound
by his duties to hs family not TO leave his present po
sition in his profession for the strong induce
ment thus addressed alike to his personal and Pot-
cal feelings.
1t is reported that Mr.. Calhoun was to-day offered
the mission to England and that he declined it. he
at any rate had interview with the President and
know that the latter meant to offer it to him. and
that the former has freely declared that he would not
accept it or any mission, though it should embrace
all Europe. In regard TO England, he is stated 10
have declared that If he should CO. ne would probably
receive instructions from his government which would
not sustain the full ground and tone he has maintained
his negotiations about the Texas Administrations

him, therefore to return home. His peculiar friends
are very much dispeased at the constitution of the
Cabinet and at the disregard of all consultation will
them on tie subject.
The Senate will in all probability, before the adj
ournment, change the Office of printer for that body
by electing Messrs Blair g. Rives in the place of Gales
and Seaton. When the Wings came into power in
1S4l, MesSrs. Blair & Rives summarily re-
moved and their contract obliterated, in violation Of
right and good faith at the will of the +" Great Die
tator." They will probably be restored to the
place from which they were 50 unceremoniOusly re-
moved

Hon. I. w. Davis.

The following paragraph is from the N. Y. Sun.
We have heard the suggestion in other quarters, that
in the event of his reelection, Mr. Davis will proba
bly, be the next Speaker. We do not why he
should not be. He is an experienced member, and
possesses large share of the qualifications necessary
to that station:
The WESTERN SrATEs-IIon. j. w. Daris.-In
forming the Cabinet the free States Of the West have
not come in for an exactly fair proportion of the high
appointments. In fact the ''balance wheel' of the
Union or it is no ess) has no representative in the
Executive Council; Ike the great commercial State
of New York, it is i'll the eclipse. There is strong
probability that one of the neglected States will have
the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The Indiana elections have not yet taken place. but it
is confidently expected that Mr. Davis viii be return
ed to Congress from his district and almost equally
certain he will be the next Speaker. He is gentle
man of great urbanity of manners, and presiding
officer has superior in the House. The West win
claim the next Speaker and the Eastern and Northern
members agree that Davis will be the

,TIle Lavvrenceburg Beacon.

We have noticed with pain, but have heretofore
avoided any remarks of consequence, the subject
of the attacks Of the Lawrcnceburgh Beacon
tain individuals CT the Democratic party because
INDUCED the hope that its editor might labor under
honest mistake and would far regard the harmony
and welfare of the party and his own sense of jus
tice, to withdraw his charges his evident
excitement would subside.
As some of these charges are commented on by the
Wing press with the avowed design of injuring the
Democracy, We have felt that We should i'll become
the character of faithful Sentinel" if we longer
remained SILENT and especially when we find the De-
mocratic press elsewhere rebuklng tie spirit which
dictated them.
What are these charges! Why it seems that in
that paper Of the 20th February last it is stated that
''the Supreme Bench be made the bait to catch
enough Wigs to succeed''-Qhat is, as explained by
the Editor to elect Gov. Whitcomb to the United
States Senate and that it the Supreme Bench] was
in market during the whole session. wing vote from
jefferson, two from Harrison and ore or two from
elsewhere, were expected to be bought for seat on
the Supreme Bench"
This number of the Beacon was not sent to us, al
though we are in the regular habit of exchanging
with it-and why is this We have found the charge
in certain Wing papers however, into which it had
been copied, such the Wabash Courier, the Harri-
son Gazette and the Newcastle Courier
That bargain of the kind was made, is manifest
because the Senatorial election pat off, and if any
such bargain was attempted to be made, the Wing
members upon whom, according TO the Beacon, it
attempted must have known it, and will it be believ-
ed that any member of that party, prone its press
and its leaders to indulge in lsehood against the
Democracy, would not have made known the trutl
against it, if it existed!
To be explicit, we authorised to pronounce the
charge in whole and in part to be destitute of any
foundation in truth in fact. And proof IS chal
lengea that Gov Whitcomb either made or AUTHORISED
to be made, directly indirectly at any time il
any place, to any person or persons whatsoever an
overture or proposition OF the kind On the contrary
is IL not lrea knolrn, that Gov. w. has uniformly ex
pressed himself against connecting any two question
whether of legislation Executive appointments lie
gslatve elections together for the purpose Of
ing the success of eitheri
May indulge the hope that the editor ofth
Beacon will adduce his proof withdraw his charge
| Want of room compels us to postpone any remark
on the other charges of the Beacon, until next
contenting ourselves in the meantime, with mere
saying that they al equally without foundation.

AuImportant Announcement.

The Frankfort Commonwealth, of the ablest
newspapers in Kentucky, makes the following an
nouncement in its number for Feb. 18TH
The indications are manifest that the friends and
opponents of gradual prospective emancipation, desire
to discuss the merits of the subject before the country
through the press. We know no good reason why the
discussion should not proceed; but we beg leave, in
advance respectfully to intimate to writers on both
sides, the proPrety of connng their remarks wholly
to legitimate issues and observing tone and temper
the furthest possible from the inammatory exasper-
ating. or personally iadecorous. Controlling free,
independent and impartial press, duty requires
to admit communications both sides of the ques-
ton but we feel we have the right, and shall insist
on the proprety, of enforcing the restrictions men,
toned above. There are many good honest, consci-
entious, and patriotic citizens both sides of the
question In the hands of such men, the discussion
may eyentuate in the public enlightenment and the
public good but it only be productive of evil In
the hands of others, or conducted without regard
the restrictions think it duty to the public tc
impose upon its conduct

Morris Cannl Company.

We see by eastern papers, that the receivers OF the
Morris Canal Company give notice that 1.-The State of
Indiana Mortgages of 1.-THE Morris Canal, its

Our Presen. Condition.

party is never in so much danger as when II has
just struggled into power. At that crisis it is natural
that many Of its members should desire Offices Of honor
or emolumeat This is not reprehensble in ITSELF
But when this IS carried so far to lead to open or
covert attacks those who have fought shoulder to
shoulder in the cause, but who, Ii Is feared
may stand in the way of their own aspirations for
Office, it becomes an evil that cannot be too much
deprecated 1t is perhaps than al other causes
pregnant with ruin TO any party. Ii was the same
cause, that to considerable extent Frustrated the
Wing party, when lately in power, sooner than ii
was otherwise destined to flll. Let the Democratic
principle, that no man has claim to Office, be not
only Proesse9 but heartily acted on, let feeling of
mutual good WILL modest forbearance, and above all,
the noble disposition TO sacrifice personal aspir
atoms on the altar of our common welfare, be felt
and cherished and the Democratic party will remain
nvincibe. 1t is the party, in the only free nation
earth on whose exertlons, under Providence, we
sincerely believe, mainly depends the great of
human liberty. And whosoever, stimulated by short
sighted views of personal advantage to himself or
or his immediate friends, shall causelessly sow dis
sention in its ranks and thereby shpwreck our best
hopes by open attacks what is far less manly, by
whispered inuendoes and confidential communications
whether written verbal, VIII be held 10 fearful
account in the forum of his own conscience, and at
the bar CT public opinion Let the rule be Observed
that the applicant for Office may praise HIMSELF get
his adherents to praise him, if those who disin-
terested will not voluntarily do so, and if his taste
and sense of pro7rlety allow Of it, but let him not
endeavor to raise himself by detracng from others
We believe that the modest pride of real worth and
conscious strength will resort to such means.
1t calmly waits for the unbias sed public Judgment
and that it relies. Inferiority tie contrary,
feels the necessity of extraordinary exertions. What
il lacks in individual merit or talent it seeks to make
up in Importantly. WORTH is sooner or later discerned
by discerning public, and is called from its retreat
into its service. How many refreshing examples of the
latter character do Revolutionary annals and the
early history of the Republic present There were
not wanting even then, examples Of contrary char
acer, but the of truth and justice ultimately
prevailed, and so, will indulge the hope, will it

The Cabine,---sIr. Calhoun.

The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says
The South Carolina delegation in Congress and va
riOus distinguished citizens of that State who have
assembled to witness the Inauguration, affect much
d.spleasure because Mr. Calhoun has not been tender
ed seat in the new administration. 1t appears that
all his friends concluded, without any intimaion be-
ing given by Mr.. POLK that Mr.. Calhoun would have
the privilege of exercising his option to
naming, and in the event of his REFUSAL that Mr..
Gilmore the representative of this interest,"
would certainly have appointment offered to him.
| can't see why Mr.. Polk may not be allowed to
choose his own Cabinet and what right South Caro-
lima, more than any other quarter, has to feel ag-
grieved at not being preferred.

New THING UNDER THE SUN.-Thc Committee
of Foreign Relations in the Senate of Texas, say, in
report on several memorials praying for annexation
Of that Republic to the United States
The annexation of Texas TO the United States,
already emphatically toiled by the people of both
countries, will, when consummated be among the
most interesting events recorded In the annals of
history 1t is that the ch. onices of nations
full of the changes of Governments, of the extension
of empire and Of the partition of the weaker among
the stronger powers but this VIII be the first instance
where free, sovereign and independent people will
have merged their Government in another by their
own free will and Other nations have lost
their separate and independent existence, but they
have fallen before the bloody war Of conquest and
have been appropriated the successful spoils Of
ambition. They have only changed masters and in
too many instances have had substituted toe-
rable despotism than that which preceded it.
But here how differently will be the change; and
how incomparably different must be the results Our
weakness will become strength our danger, safety;
and desolation of heart will be supplanted by the
smiles of Joy In this change, there will be no COM
pulsioh-no force-no rapacity-no desire for ag-
grandizement; nothing more less than the stern
determination peculiar to- and characteristic of free
men, to extend the area of rational liberty TO render
more durable republican Institutions and TO perpetuate
the glory Of the American name And who would
not exult in the appellaton of American citizen
What country is there contiguous to the United States
that would not rejoice to share the benefits, the prv
legcs and protection of that Government!
