LOOK HERE.-We take pleasure in calling
the attention of Physicians and Country
Dealers to the Advertisements Of W. & C.
BELL, in to-day's Journal. Their stock of
Drugs, Medicines, Paints, Oils, Dye-Stuffs,
Glassware, &C., is the largest ever brought TO
this market, and of fresh importations. A
residence of eight years among us by these
gentlemen, a thorough knowledge of their
business and of the wants of this section Of
country, is a sure guaranty that their stock
has been well selected. As 10 prices, we
may be permitted to say that in Drugs, &c.
as in every thing else, this is as cheap a mar
ket as is TO be found West of the Mountains
We invite Country Physicians and dealers
who have heretofore passed our place anC
."gone farther and Jared worse," to give thes,
gentlemena call. They wont ICED c~oaxine
a second time.

UNITED STATES SENAToR.-From pre-

back to The people in August next. Then,
if they see fiji to again elect a Wing Legisla-

taken place; and, though we do not alter the

nominal; their rise or fall depends altogeih

The Ladies of Virginia have taken up, with
a zeal and earnestness that must command
success, the measure ofan appropriate tribute
TO Henry Clay. The following address from
the officers of the Association formed at
Richmond for this object, was published a
few days ago:
Wing Women of VIginia:-A society
has been formed for the purpose of erecting
a Statue to Henry Clay, and we ask your
Jealous aid and cooperation. In associating
ourselves for this purpose, we do not enter
the political arena nor pass the limit
assigned TO our sex. Henry Clay has been
rejected by the Nation as we believe uni ust-
ly; but we bow TO the decision, and declare
that our admiration of The great man is indie
pendent of the party politics ofthe day. Ask
ing no voice in the councils of our Country
we may be permitted to exercise the privil.
eye of Offering a tribute TO tried patriotism
exalted worth and spotless honor. AS Vir
gInians we would record the merits of hel
noble son. As Americans we would testify
our gratitude to the Statesman and Orator

CANAL MEETING AT POINT


LIOOG.
The citizens of Point Commerce and Vi
entity, met on the 10Th ult., to express their
views upon the extension Of the Wabash and
Erie Canal TO Evansville. DR.. D. Shepherd
presided; and w. c. Andrews, oficiated as
Secretary.
H. H. Throop, Esqr., offered the following
Preamble and Resolution, which were unan-
imously adopted:
Whereas, The Wabash and Erie Canal
was undertaken as a great National work, to
connect the navigable waters of Lake Erie,
with those of the Mississippi River, as we'll
for the encouragement OF commerce and do
nestle industry, as also to afford a grand
~thoroughfare for the National Government,
for the ira importation Of Arms and Munitions
of War, free of charge, from the Sea-board
TO the extreme West and South of the Union.
through the heart of her own territory Should
such an emergency occur) and
Whereas, TIE present termina of said Ca
nal, at Terre-Haute would defeat the main
object for which it was intended, the Wabash
River being navigable, even for small Boats,
only during the spring freshets, which seldom
last more than two or three months in the
year, therefore,
ResoIoed, That we deem the extension
of said Canal, to Evansville, a work of abso
Lutte and pressing Importance to the Govern
ment, easy of accomplishment, and vitality
important, especially to the Great West.
Resolued, That in the completion of sal
Canal, by which an uninterrupted comnuni
cation will be opened from Boston and New
York TO St. Louis and New Orleans, a grea
bond OF union will be formed between tht
East and West, North and South, which will
form a Palladium for the perpetuity of GU
free Institutions as we now enjoy them
through all future time.
Resolped, That as much of the heavies
work on the Cross cut and Central Canals
has already been completed by the State o
5 Indiana, the cost of its extension TO Evans
, vile, will be trifing, compared with the i'm
portance of the work when completed, to tn
whole union.
III Resolred, That as the public Lands in til
Vincennes Land District have been man
: years in market, the cost to the Governmen
, in keeping up a Land Office therein, f
many years TO come, will almost consume tn
: proceeds of the sales of Lands in said dis
tEct.
v Resolued, That in our opinion the Coz
eminent will sustain no ultimate loss b
: granting the unsold Lands, in said Distric
for the extension OF said Canal TO Evan
vile.
RESOLVED, That a copy of the proceeding
of this Meeting, including the foregoir
h Preamble and Resolutions, signed by Ii
d Chairman and Secretary, be published IN Il
Wabash Courier, and that a copy of said p
p er be forwarded Immediately to each of o.
at Senators and Representatives in Congres

The intelligence from Texas, although la
Ter than heretofore published, is not of a very
important character. The papers contain
President Jones' Inaugural Address. II is
brief and to the purpose, and neat in diction.
His object, he states, will be the maintenance
of public credit; the reduction of the ex-
penses of the Government; the adjustment
of paper issues by the Government; a proper
Tariff for revenue, with incidental protec-
ton; the establishment of a system q, Com
mon School; the attainment ofspeedy peace
with Mexico; the encouragement of immi-
grafton; friendly and just relations with the
Indians on the frontier; the introduction OF
the Penitentiary system; the encouragement
of Internal Improvements. A Galveston pa
per says: The question will soon be laid be-
fore the people of Texas in a tangible and au-
thentic shape, whether they will take an ac-
acknowledgement of their independence from
Mexico, coupled with the condition of de-
clining annexation TO the United States, or
await the chances of union with this country.

To meet this large annual Indebtedness.
and preserve the plighted faith of the State,
no means can be obtained, except what may
arise from a resort to direct taxation. After
the domestic debt shall have ceased 10 en-
barrass the Treasury, it is supposed that an
assessment of fifty cents on polls, and sixty
cents on the hundred dollars valuation of
property, would be sufficient to insure the
annual payment ofthe interest account, and
defray the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment. Whether sucha rate could be impos-
ed at present, with any prospect of its being
paid by the people, it will devolve upon their
representatives to decide.
