TERRE HAUTE AND ITS FUTURE PROSPECTS
-MANUFAoToRIEs.-The Express, OF Terre
Haute, calls the attention of the citizens OF
that city to the necessity of making invest
ments in the business of manufacturing to
give an impulse TO and make permanent its
growth and prosperity. We extract the fol-
lowing remarks upon the subject as being
worthy the attention Of our capitalists and
property holders:
eve said afew days ago, that the surplus
capital of Pere Haute, must now be invested
in building up manufacturing establishments
or the fattering prospects of this queenly
city must begin to wane. Railroads reach
every accessible point around us. Factories
of ali kinds viii spring up in the adjoining
counties and towns. The facilities for reach
ing good marke., with their manufactured
articles are the same to them, as to us. Labor
is as cheap to them as il is to us. Coal and
steam are as accessible to them, as TO us, and
five remain still, they will divide with us
that interest, which ought to be controlled,
and conferred at this point. We would not
be surprised Tin very few years, the bust
ness of slaughtering and packing pork in this
city, would be a matter of the smallest i'm
portance Our pork houses, this year, will
not be one third filed. Not one-third oil
the houses usually employed by them, will
find employment this winter. Our Banks
must find other customers than the packers
Of pork, whose paper they will discount.
With these circumstances surrounding us,
what is to be done to make Terra Haute a
city, having hardly rival in this State ?
The sober judgement Of every right-seeing
mind will at once say We must make our
city a manufacturing city. The capital that
is controlled by our wealthy men, must be
put into active use in this way. The music
of the loom, the rattle Of machinery and the
thunder Of the forge and rolling-mill must
be heard all around us. There is no avoid
ing this necessity. The progress Of the age,
and the inevitable tendency Of things, de-
mand this, and prudence and our common
interests should arouse us to a compliance
with that Injunction.

Gov. wrIsht and The swamp Lands.

Having heard that rumors were 10 crcula-
ton charging Gov. Wright with completely
in tho swamp land frauds, we addressed 4
note to Hugh O'Neal, ESQ, upon the subject
and received the accompanying reply from
hnl. which entirely exonerates the Gov
ernor from any knowledge OF the transaction
The personal aud official integrity Of Gov
Wright ID beyond reproach During his Off
eial term Of seven years, as Executive Of the
State, he has besn engaged Ia no speculations
and has never used his official position and
knowledge Of State affairs, in any way or al
any time, to put money IN his purse. Tic
goes out Of Office with clean hands, and, VIZ
regret to say, impoverished by the INSULT
cient support which the Governor receives tc
sustain that position, without an exhibition OF
niggardliness which would be disgraceful to
the State. And the Governor has not only
been exemplary in his own official conduct
but he has made every effort to prevent
frauds upon the State Treasury and upon
the State interests by all others
If frauds have been committed upon the
State in this swamp land transaction, the
Secretary Of the State has imposed upon the
confidence which Governor Wright has
placed in him. 1t has been the custom for
the Governor to place his signature to such
blanks that the Secretary Of State might
need from time to time in quantities, so that
that officer might not be Inconvenience by
his absence from home or calling upon him
every time that he needed them. In this
way his official signature had been obtained
to a quantity of blank swamp land patents.
And, suspecting some wrong, the Governor
refused, on Thursday last, to sign any more.
If the Secretary Of State has abused the
confidence thus placed in him by the Gov
ernor, no apology can place him right in the
estimation Of all honorable men. If Gov
ernor Wright has done any wrong in the
matter, it is in reposing confidence - .he

IEDIANAPoLIs, Ind, Deer 90, 1856.
J.J. BINGHAM, Esq. In reply to your note
of this morning, l say, with pleasure, that so
far as my investigations have proceeded in
relation to the alleged fraudulent sales of
swamp lands, nothing appears duplicating
Gov. Wright with these transactions.
l say moreover that have heard no charge
of the kind made against him from any quar-.
ter. simply meant by my despatch to you
of yesterday that, from such information as L
had, the Secretary was filling up blank pa
tents over his official signature, and which,
according to the custom Of the Office, had
been left with him, and the object of that
despatch was to give him the opportunity of
withdrawing such blank patents.
Very respectfully, yours, &C.,
HUGH ONEAL.

Republican Secretary OF State.
Kansas-aev. asarz and the People.

The citizens of Tecumseh and vicinity held
a meeting at Tecumseh Court House, Kan
sas, ON the 26th of November, to consult upon
and propose policy upon which the citizens
of Kansas, without distinction of party, may
unite for the preservation Of peace and gen.
eral reconciliation, based upon acquiescence
in existing legislation, an impartial admins
tration of justice, and opposition to external
Intervention in the affairs of the Territory.
Resolutions were passed approving of any
and all measures having tendency to re-
store peace and harmony among the citizens
of Kansas, and declaring that whatever diff
ferences of opinion may prevail touching the
circumstance that resulted in the adoption of
existing laws, it was better to support and
sustain those laws than to have no laws at
all, or continue the anarchy that had
too long prevailed. As an index of pub
lie feeling in relation to those obIox-
ious provisions Of the Kansas code which
have been so generally reprobated and con-
0CuiAC0, dL0 40 "a oCotAhhOhAoA VI iOA
Gov. Geary and the wise and conciliatory
policy which has characterized his admins
tration, the following resolutions are worthy
Of record
Reso10ed, That we believe the existing ter
ritorial laws contain provisions that should
be repealed, and We have confidence that the
legislature at the next session will, with a
spirit of justice and moderation, correct OPP
pressive legislation.
RESOLVED, That we have confidence in the
patriotic desire and ability Of Gov. Geary to
faithfully administer the laws and protect
and enforce the rights of all the citizens of
Kansas; and we cordially approve the policy
that he has adopted, and which, thus far, has
been attended with the happiest results to-
wards the restoration of law and order, equal
ity and justice.
The Grand jury Of the Second Judicial
District, which was in session at Tecumseh at
the time of the meeting, officially approved
of the resolutions that were passed, and re-
commended them to the citizens of the Ter
ritory.

Coming Down.

The New York Times, formerly of the
belief that nothing butth Maine Law would
answer the purposes of temperance reform,
comes down several pegs, as will be seen
from the following, which recently appeared
in its columns:
"What our Legislature ought to give us
this winter is as stringent license law as
possible-one which will limit and restrict to
the utmost attainable point the sale of intox-
icating liquors, and at the same time secure
to our town and county treasures some funds
to meet the expenses of sustaining the pau
pers, and Furnishing the criminals whom the
traffic, under any circumstances, may and
will inhict upon the community. Some re-
striction is certainly better than none.
The amount of the matter is Just this
The politicians of the Times and Tribune
school cannot make Maine lavish subserve
any further partizan uses; hence they will
have nothing more to do with it. 1t is not
long since these same gentlemen professed to
regard system of licenses as abominable,
because, they said, 1t was wrong to license
crime"

Some time since the EvdnsvNie Enquirer
INSISTED that Jesse D. Bright should be re-
elected to bis present position. 1t did not
care who The other Of the two Senators to be
elected this winter was, "but one OF them shall
deBrigh.p AS the Democracy of the otherpor-
tions OF the State, with scarcely an exception,
seem entirely satisfied to concede this demand
Of the Enquirer, i, appears no more than just
that our amiable friend Of that print should be
wiling to fll his part Of the bond-"we care
not who the other may be, so that he is one
of the faithful Of the Democratic household"
The Ing. has fairly and unequivocally thus
made It's choice--the choice of ''the Pocket"

the balance Of the State the privilege of Sc
lecting the other The Democratic papers

II the Enquirer will permit us we will ven-
ture the enquiry as to who its, and "the

OF the multitude of candidates down there,
who is tho favored individual? We pause
for response. Fearing that the Enquirer
may have forgotten the article to which we
have referred, we give it ipsissinaa Verba:
"For this part of the State, we can speak
that all will be satisfied to give Gov. Wright
a place in the Cabinet; but we shall insist
that Jesse ID. Bright shall take seat in the
Senate. He has honored Indiana in his place
let her honor him now. He has occupied
a position in the Senate that but few men ever
attain. lie has filed the second highest
position in this Union, and leaves it on the
4th of next March, with the entire confidence

sec his place filed by another and untried
man now. We have two Senators to elect this
winter, and one of them we claim, shall be
Bright. We care not who the other be, so
that he is one of the faithful of the Demo
cratic household"
