Henry Clay is more in favor of Slavery than We
thought he would be, he is yet RIGHT in regard
to extending the evil into territories now free.
Hear him:
..He owed il 10 himself and 10 the coun-
try TO declare. that there existed no human
powerthat could force him 10 vote for a
me asure to carry the institution of slave
nv into any territory now free, whether that
territory was north or south Of 80 deg. 30
min. No earthly power could make him
do 50. [ applause We find fault with our
British ancestors for introducing slavery
amongst US. and he was not disposed 10
bear like blame for being instrumental
in introducing it into California or any
other free territory. IT was his opinion
that slavery did not exist in any portion Of
the territory acquired from Mexico"

Gov. Wright has appointed Professor

good appointment. Mr.. l.. has been con-

some time past, and his high character is

The Governor has also ordered Mr.
Irolter. (wio was appointed 10 procure a
block of la marble TO be forwarded to the
committee at Washington City, and placed
in the Washington Monument, ir accor-
dance with an act Of last Legislature,) to
have the following sentiment placed on
that stone: ''lndiana knows no North, no
South: nothing but the Union..'' That's
all Wright, and well expressed. prorided
it does not mean Cass platformism!
