OE-CoL. DoNIPHAN, who was one OF the
visiters at the late examination at West Point,
thus alludes in speech he made on the Occa-
sion, 10 the 2nd Indiana Regiment at Buena
Vista. If il be true that disgrace must forev-
er cling to our State for the unfortunate eleva-
ton of an incompetent man TO the command
of as gallant set of men as ever went forth 10
do battle for their country, who but Gov.
Whi,comb and the locofocos who aided him
in placing that man in Office are responsible
for it? Why were not the companies permit
ted to form themselves into regiments as best
pleased them, and thus have saved themselves
from the odium which Col. Doniphan and 9th
ers attach to them? The answer is plain
Such course would have deprived the wire
workers ofan opportunity to exert their pecu
liar talent-lhey could not in that event have
log rolled with any hope Of success, and the
offices, which were the aim of their patriotism
would have slipped away from them.-No
they went into secret caucuss, Gov. White oml
at their head, and the result is that reg ment,
which under brave and competent leader
would have stood its ground against all odd
while single man survived, looses its charac
ter for courage. Well may the gallant men o
that regiment curse Whitcomb and his co-labor
rrs in that work. They deserve all that cal
be said of them. But to our extract of Col. d.
speech:

Ar HIS TRICKS AGAIN.-Gov. Whitcombhas
again deserted the Gubernatorial Chair for the
stump, and is. traversing the State making pol
itical speeches. The Governor is very anxious
to he sent to the United States Senate, and will
leave no stone gqturned to accomplish his OBJ
ject. But we very much mistake the "sober
second thought" of the Indanians if they offer
him any hope. They have come to know Gov.
Whitcomb and his party too well and have suf-
lered too much from their rule and ruin policy,
to be deceived this time. The New Albany
Bulletin gives the following as the closing re-
marks of his speech at that place:
Towards the close of the Governors re
marks he informed his Locofoco friends of the
i"progress of the fight" how the battle Wa:
raging i'll the interior. Upon the conced
ed opinion that ''misery loves company" he en-
deavored to console his followers by telling
them of the disaffections in the Wing ranks
that there appeared 10 be ''small speck' a

account of his connection with the institution

courage, and not be alarmed at the division.

The Barnburners could not effect anything

Take it altogether, the course of Governor
Whitcomb in this has served TO convince u:
more and more of the downward tendency o
