at Greencastle on the 18th ulI, in which that
gentlemen took strong grounds in favor of
prompt and speedy action in regard 10 our State
Indebtedness. The Dem ocrat seems to rap our
Governor over the knuekles for his farlnre TO
speak cut plain on this matter. That paper
says:
The speech Of Mr.. " right, which we pub
iished on Tuesday last, axes bold and decide
ground upon the subject of paying the interest
upon the public debt of the State. Mr. Wright

purpose, and gives his reasons for his opinions
Every citizen OF the State is interested in tho
roughly understanding this matter, and should
investigate and decide for himself, because from
MS labor and means must be drawn the money
to pay this interest. Every man is interested
more or less in the credit, reputation and homo,
OF his State, and ieels the necessity of removing
the load of Indebtedness which bears her dow
and paralizes her energies. Our public men
are very delicate and timd in putting forth
schemes or plans for the liquidation of this debt.

PORK.-We learn that a very consdera-
BILE quantity of Pork has already been taken
in and packed by our enterprizing merchants,
and that more will be put up here this sea-
son than at aay former year. The report has
been circulated through the Wabash coun-
try that our merchants were not buying Pork
this year, and absurd as the report must ap-
pear TO any one at all acquainted with the
business of this place, it has had the effect
10 turn in different direction considerable
amount of trade which would otherwise have
come here. At no former time were ar
rangements for killing and packing pork here
upon so extensive scale as al present.
Mr.. A. Laughlin and Jas. Laughin. Jr., have
both within the last year erected large and
commodious brick houses for sailing and
packing; and Mr.. Shanklin and ]. II. Ma
ghee & Co., are also extensively engaged in
fhe business. The prices given will COM
pare lavorably with the Cincinnati or any
other market, and we can assure the citizens

ground for believing that the English Govern

Mr.. Buchanan, and send new minister TO this

GOVERNORS MESS E.-This doc
ument will be found on the fourth page of
to-day's paper. We have heard it spoken of
in terms of praise by members of both par
dies, and we think Of il ourself more favor
able than previous TO its reception we ex-
peeled to. 1t is to be regrettedi that the
Governor did not come oui full and free
untrammelled by the desire TO secure favor
or popularity-on the great question which
is now agitating the State, and propose some
feasible plan for paying the interest on oul
State debt. Had he done. this, his message
would have been faultless. AS it is, how
ever, it is better document than, from his
attempts heretofore, we had right to ex-
pect.

OREeoN.-The Washington correspondent of
the New York Journal of Commerce, after stat
ing his belief that tn Oregon bill will pass the
HOUSE OF Repre- sentatives at the ensuing ses-
sion of Congress, thus speculates as to its fate
in the Senate:
'If the South Carolina and Alabama Sena-
tors vote against the bill, and also the wings,
the bill will be defeated. l suppose that Tex
as and Iowa may not be represented in the Sen
ate, when the vote is taken. There will then
be thirty democrats and twenty four wings in
the Senate, The four votes above named, add
ed to tn wing vote, will make % votes against
the bill to &c Tor il. The opinion has been ex-
pressed that the Western wing Senators, al
though committed fully to the support of our IT,
tie and whole title to Oregon, will unite; with
the whig party generally in staviDg off the
question. But suppose that Iowa and Texas
should be represented in the Senate, before the
final action of that body on the bill, will it not be
certain that the bill will pass? AS to Iowa,
there Is no doubt. All the interests of Texas
will be opposed TO war with Great Britain |;
but will not she feel that she owes her annexa-
tlon. IN great measure. 10 a sort OF compro-
mise between her friends and those who are
"tor' the whole of Oregon?" 1t appears to me
that the Texian Senators will be compelIe I'd by
circumstance TO vote for the bill yet there are
some shrewd and wel-advised persons who
think not. The chances, after all, that the bill
Will pass the Senate, unless. as has been limited
IN some quarters, the democratic party should
be guilty of gross legislative deception
amusing the West with the idea that Oregon
should be claimed and protected, and proVid :
ing that the Act for this purpose should be &C c-
dentaliy lost. by casual absence.

1Jrtrrp STATES srNAroR.-It will be

UNfTEp STATES SENAToR.-H will be
seen by the last received letter from our
Representative in to-day's paper, that con-
trary to all expectation, JESSE ID. BRIGHT,
our Lieutenant Governor, is elected Senator
in Congress from the 4th. of March last.
The vote stood 80 for Mr.. Bright, 66 for Mr..
Marshall, and two blank. Two members,
viz, Conner of the Senate, and Scott OF the
House were absent on account OF sickness
Two Wings, Messrs. Henry of the. Senate
and Ferguson of the House representing
Democratic counties, (the first being UNI
der an express promise to that efect) vo ted
for Mr.. Bright. The course of these two
gentlemen was mendable-diferent en-
tirely from that pursued by Messrs Hoover
and Carter in 1912, who were pledged TO vote
for Wing Senator, because representing
Wing counties, and violated that pledge!
The State Journal speaking ofthis cleo
ton says:
''The result of this election will greatly
astonish the rank and file of the democracy,
as three fourths of them, no doubt, prefer
red the election Of Governor Whitcomb.
But the political tricks,ers, by resorting to a
species of management characteristic of
such men, defeated the will ofthat majority,
and they will be compelled, however disa-
greeable the employment, to throw up their
caps in its favor.
sThe course pursued by the Wing mem
bers of the Legislature must meet with an
approving response from every Wing in In
diana. With an rnanimity which marks
their devotion to their cause, and the high
estimation in which one of the ablest cham
pions of that cause is held, they determined
to cast their votes for JOSEPH G. MARSHALL
who, had it not been for gross violation o
law, would this day be occupying seat il
the U. S. Senate,-along with Corwin, Crit
tenden, and Clayton, worthy, in every re-
spect, of such association. This united &c
ton will inspire confidence among the Wings
throughout the State. 1t will show, that
though unable to accomplish their wishes
they are disposed to battle on with the same
determination as if victory were within thei
! grasp!"
