The editor of the Advertiser, having failed
to make a Daily paper worthy the support
and patronage ofthe public: or 10 find enough
dishonesty in both parties combined to sup
port his political apostacy, now issues a filthy
weekly sheet, filled with the rancor of a DIS
appointed heart, and with venemous spirit
which is only harmless from the notorious
mental deficiency Of the writer. His numer
Gus personal illusions to ourself, are so much
smaller than even the. object aimed at, and
breathe so much envious malice, that we pity
the man who will thus let the infrmities Of
his body so affect his mental and moral ma
ture, as to sour every thought, and put false
coloring on the most trivial matters. We clip
the following from the Advertiser as an illus
tration of our remarks, and that the readers
Of the Journal may have practical lllustra-
ton too of the disgusting spirit character
izing portion of the party press, animad-
verted upon in the lecture alluded to. Al
though in preparing the Lecture, he did not
arise to the prominence Of a single thought,
yet he saw too plainly his own likeness in our
picturing of certain men whose connection
with the press, is the fathering Of a thou
sand bad influences, and q disgrace to the
Press itself-not to feel personally aggrieved.
Feeling it a delicate matter to allude in any
manner to q lecture delivered by ourself, no
editorial on the subject has been published in
the Journal. 1t was delivered by invitation
of gentlemen representing the community
its theme was Printing and the Press, and
it was intended to give the public an insight
into the mysteries Of the one, and to defend the
character, and properly present the mightiness
Of the influence ofthe other the assembly be-
fore which it was delivered, was by far the lar
gest convened to hear any previous lecture Of
the season-and if the lecture had not even
come up to the anticipation ofour friends, the
contrary of which we have no reason to be-
lieve, good breeding in a cotemporary, what
ever his political hostility would have at
least secured us from such a scurrilous allu-
sion as the following. Those who were in at
tendance will form their own opinion of the
man who would write such paragraph:
STILL BoRN.-Sanders' Lecture before the
Lyceum on Monday evening, Chat cost him
three weeks labor,) did not set the river on
fire. Those who were so unfortunate as to
be present on that occasion were grievousy
bored. We learn that the matter was small
fry, and the manner superlatively ridiculous.

Gov. LANE.-THe % Regiment find
a letter in the StaGe Sentinel from Gov. Joe
Lane. in which the following paragraph oc-
ours:
confess to you that am surprised to find
that any considerable portion ofthe WING par
ty of Indiana should at any time be willing to
fasten upOn their State lasting disgrace. It's
mot deserved. No better troops ever pulled
a trigger in their -country's defence than the
troops from Indiana. Why should they I'M
Justly suffer They shall not! | shall ieel
it my duty al all times and under all circum-
Istances to tell the truth, and the honest truth
is the only defence of their reputation that
| they or the State will ever require. II it
should be my misfortune to make enemies by
defending the reputation of my command. my
State, and myself letit be so. -
The intimation here, that the Wing party
| or any portion oft have in any way counte-
nanced the effort to disgrace Indianians for
their conduct in the Mexican war, is an UNI
principlcd and unmitigated SANDER. The
| Wings have from the time that Joe Lane
made his report Of the part that Indianians
| took in the battle at Bucna Vista. contended
that their conduct was shamefully misrepre-
scnted and that too by the report Of Joe Lane.
/ It was Joe Lane who said the Indanians had
failed in their duty on that field. 1t was joe
Lane who asserted that they had shametuily
retreated and that he had no excuse to offer
for them-and if disgrace attaches itself to
the Cd Indiana regiment for its conduct in
THAT battle to Joe Lane, and to Joe Lane
only are lis members indebted Tor the dis
Itinction.
What fear can he have of making enemies
by doing the Cd Regiment Justice? Yet it is
evident lie had fears, for in two instances he
made subsequent reports upon matters OF
much less Importance than the one in hand
1.-The had wished it, he might easily have
counteracted all the i'll effects of his first re-
port, by simply reporting to General Taylor
what he asserts he afterwards found to be the
lreaI facts in the case. Where was his anxiety
about that time, that he did not avail himself
ofthe opportunity, while making his subse-
quent reports, to set the matter right? The
truth is he either did not know his duty, or
had no wish to perform it-consequently the
first report remains.to this day overJoe Lane
own signature. charging that the Indianians
/; had fed from the battle, and that there was
i no excuse to offer for them. ~a2
Lane closes his letter by saying that he can
make money where he is, and that he shall
remain there He has authorized his son TO
settle up his business here and remove with
his family as soon as may be to Oregon.

A WINDFALL FOR JERSEY BANK.-A
letter from a young man of this city, now in

also had $4,000 in gold in the same place,
which was also destroyed. He however, said

REDUCTION OF PosrAoE,-Mr. W. j.
Brown of Indiana, who played his cards so
as to come within two votes of saving Mr..
Cobb the trouble of presiding in the House
this Congress, introduced Postage bill on
the 18th, which is referred to Mr.. Potter and
his colleagues.
Mr.. Brown fixes the postage on halfouncc
letters at cents, paid or unpaid, after next
September.
" Newspapers, pamphlets, magazines, pc
riodicals, or other printed matter,'' he would
tariff thus: One cent for every ounce and a
half, or fraction thereof; all newspapers, &c,
not sent to regular subscribers must be pre-
paid: no postage is to be charged on news
papers sent per mail within the county where
they are published. Anybody may agree to
carry newspapers for hire outside the mail
HandbiIlS and circulars charge two cents If
not waiered. Letters sent abroad he would
charge Is cents sea postage in the United
States mail lines. The Postmaster General
might increase these rates. The Thanking
privilege to be continued, but restricted to
ounce letters, and members mustn't frank fora
friend any more, under $40 penalty. Thus
far Mr. w. J. Brown.

A PREDICTION FULTLLED.-Among the
items Of the foreign news, current in the
newspapers, is one which we cannot trace to
any authentic source, that the Hungarian
Chief BEN, now Murad Bey, has died sud
denly at Turkey. We are reminded by the
Boston Transcript that paragraph had a
large circulation last year, in which BEN was
said to have often declared his conviction
that he should die in 1850-that he had seen
his own tomb, in vision, with the date 1850
engraved on it.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. %.
1t is perfectly certain, says Geographic
dispatch, that a treaty has been made between
Sir H. Bulwer and the Government of the
~. States, respecting the Nicaragua qucs-
ton. A friend, on whom reliance can be
placed, has seen the document, with all the
official signatures attached. 1t provides for
the restosation of Tigre Island to it's former
owners. 1t fails to recognize the proceedings
of both Chatfeld and Squier. 1t also pro-
vides that neither England or the U. S. shall
exercise sovereignty or jurisdiction within the
Central American States. 1t is said that the
Treaty went out to England in the Europa.
The character of the treaty, it is thought is
highly creditable to the Ijberality of the re
spective governments, and cannot fail to prove
satisfactory to the people of both countries.
There was a tremendous Democratic meet
ing at the Chinese Museum last night. 1t is

Soil az tat;on, and calling upon the Legisla-
ture to repeal all laws preventing the recap
ture Of fugitive slaves; approving of the votes
in Congress for laying the Wimot Proviso on
the table, and breathing warm and devoted

whatulinOfs Saws,

The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier, after speaking in the
highest terms of Col Bisselrs speech in
Congress, thus quotes him. Col. B. is
warm Democrat, aad from Illinois:
"Upon the subject of the dissolution of the
Union, he was firm in his advocacy of the
perpetuation of our conlederacy, as the rocks
of Gibraltar. And he warned those gentle
men who were so anxious for Southern con-
federacy, that they must not look to Illinois
for either countenance or support in any such
REASONABLE design. OF Gen. Taylor's patri-
otism and love of country, he spoke in the
most exalted terms, and publicly declared IL
Gnois would stand by him in the patriotic
| stand he had taken in his California message.
He remarked that Illinois had furnished d
greater number of troops in the war with
Mexico than any State in the Union, and had
offered TO augment that number to ten thou
sand. But ifan attempt was made against
the integrity of the Union, and the President
! would call for volunteers 10 assist him in
maintaining that integrity, Illinois, instead OF
offering ten thousand, would turn out ter
times that number in response TO such Execu-
tive demand"

A REAL CURIOsITY.-We examined Sat
urday some beautiful specimens of needle
work, which have Just been finished in this
city, and are intended as a present for Prince
Albert and his youngest son, of England
They were two shrts-one designed for the
father, the other for the son--made of the
finest linen which could be obtained, and the
.needlework exquistely wrought. Some idea
may be formed of the labor bestowed upon
these articles, when it is stated, that there are
l52, PIT stitches upon the large, and 95154
stitches on the small garment. We think it
will be hard to find simila. specimens ofneedle-
work in Prince Albert's dominions. They
were made by Mrs. MARY E. Hicks former
ly of Connecticut and Miss ELIZABETH
HAWKINS late of Toronto, Canada, but both
now Of st. Louis-the latter doing all the
hemming. They are to be sent to the British
Minister at Washington, by whom 1t is ex-
Ipected that they VIII be transmitted to the
Prince So Louis Republican.
According to our opinion of matters those
Interesting ladies would have been much bet
ter employed in making shirts for some OF
their poor and half shirtless neighbors But
it is probable they as usual with the benevo-
lent to the rich, expect some valuable return.
Prince Albert will, we suppose, reciprocate
by sending them two finely embroidered -
ladies shirts
