army. They are both in Washington.
The question discussed over lIolt's nom.
nation was whether he was coercionist,
his friends denying it, and maintaining
that it Is his earnest desire to prevent blood
she'd. but to maintain the laws by every
possible peaceful means. During the dc.
bate on the nomination, Mr. Crittendcn is
sail to have taken the ground that as Ken
lucky is now central State. ENJOYING all
the prosperity consequent upon the present
Union and form Of government, she woull
never consent to its breaking up. and the
! formation Of a Southern Confetleracy oil
which she would be border State, expos
Ell to all the dangers aud losses Of such a
position. It is stated that he was very
much excited during this portion of his
remarks, and the manner in which he up
braided the Southern men who defeated his
Compromise in the Senate, was very Sc
vcre.. He took the position that the Union
must be preserved at all hazards, either by
peaceable means or by force. and that force
used against the lawlcss citizens Of Gov
eminent is not coercion Of State. The
speech being unexpected. created grea,
sensation among the Senators.

may, ere long. be involved in the greatest
of all political calamities. civil war. me-

our people in regard to the financial inter

in saying that those interests were never
in sounder condition than at the present
time. The people Of no State in the Union
are, financially. in better condition to
meet the political crisis that now seems
inevitable. than the people of Indiana.
In whatever trials may be before us the
Bank of the State will do its whole duty

Tho Nhife Canne.

In the days Of old, long before the deep
solitudes Of the West were disturbed by
white men, il was the custom of the ludi>
IN warriors Of the forest to assemble at the
great cataract, and offer a human sacrifice
70 the Spirit of the Falls. The Offering
consisted Of a white canoe full of ripe
fruits and blooming flowers, which was
padded over the terrible cliff by the faiFesE
girl VI the tribe, who had just arrived at
the age Of wOmanhood. IL was counted an
honor by the tribe TO wlfyse lot il fell to
make the costly sacrifice; and even the
doomed maiden deemed it high compile
ment to be selected to guide the white
canoe over the falls. The only daughter
Of q chief of the Seneca Indians was once
chosen as sacrihcial Offering to the Spirit
Of Niagara. Her mother had been slain
BY hostile tribe Her father was the
brayest among his warriors, and when the
lot fell on his fair child, no symptom Of
feeling crossed his coHntenance.
At length the day arrived it faded into
night as the savage festivities and rejoic-
ing proceeded then the moon arose and
silvered the cloud Of mist that rose above
turmoil Of Niagara; and now the white
canoe, laiden with its precious freight,
glided from the bank and swept out into
the dread rapid from which escape was
hopeless. The young girl calmly steered
her tiny bark towards the centre Of the
stream, while frantic yels and shouts arose
from the shores. Suddenly another white
cnnGe shot ltuh upu1 Il stream, and I'M
der the powerful impulse Of the Seneca
chief, few like an arrow to destructiun.-
1t overlook the first; the eyes Of father and
child net i'll one last gaze Of love, and then
they plunged together over the thunder,
ing cateract.
