Indianapolis, [Correspondence of the Herald. | Inmianapouts, Inv, 8th Jan, 1813. Western Politics and Partyism in Indiana— The Le- gislature, and some of its Members—Political Cha- racter of the Legislature—Editors— Indianapolis— Morals— Women, &c. Jas. Gorpon Bennett, Esq. : — Perhaps no places are so much infested with cor- rupt managing knaves, generally denominated poli- tcians, as the capitals of the different States, during the sittings of their several Legislatures. Indiana- polis, like all other places of a like character, is just now the theatre of as much political villainyand ma- neeuvring as one might expect to meet with in a year’s travel over this democratic continent. “This exceptionable trait in the characters of our political jugglers is not confined to the furtherance of one po- litical object, nor to the attainment of success in any one favorite measure;jbut it has diffused itself gradu- ally over and through every single act of legislation in which the great political questions now dividing the people of this government, can at all be brought to have influence. Indeed, our houses of legisla- tion are meral lazar-houses of corruption and damn- ing villany, in which each mountebank of a day’s notoriety, strives with his fellow for preferment, ei- ther in wasting away the people’s money in selt-ag- grandizement, or in helping some é/evé of the party to fatten onthe public crib. Both parties are alike culpable, and are equally guilty of imposing upon the people, and wheedling theirimmediate constituents into a belief of their own moral honesty and incor- ruptibility. Icould wish, sir, that some such bold and fearless advocate of the people’s rights as your- self, were amongst us—that some one who dared to apply the lash te cozening political demagoguism and kaavery, would look in upon the praetical mal-prac- tices of those who are sent here for the great and re- sponsible purpose of relieving a suffering people—a people borne down with uneroustaxation ; we might In such case expect a slight reform—a change in the current of corruption. As it is, there is no hope of such change, and Indiana is destined to grovel through years of embarrassment as she may! Hea- ven help her. Her situation is lamentable. Go with me, however, for a moment, and view the materiel which the sovereigns of Indiana have herded together in the two Houses of the Legisla- ture Here we are in the House, and you must ac- knowledge that the coup d’eil is rather imposing.— The Speaker is a man of common abilities—a good democrat, however, in his way, and one who is op- posed to all sorts of innovation upon the established doctrines of democracy. He is wayward, and at times untractable ; having unlimited confidence in his own political sagacitv, and his knowledge of men and legislation, of which latter some year’s attendance as a member, has made him pretty well acquainted. That farge good looking per- sonage on the right of the aker, with a cou tenance expressive of a good deal of intellect, mixed up with a great desire to be a prominent poli. tician, is a Mr. Bradley, member from Laporte.— He is decidedly a leader among the whigs, and oc- casionally comesdown upon such unfortunates of the locofocos as stir him up, with a startling energy of eloquence and sarcasm. Mr. B. is spoken of by his party as a cardidate for Lieutenant Gover- nor, and as such will doubtless secure the suffrages of the whigs generaily. Immediately in front of the clerk sits Gov. Brown, formerly of Ohie, and once Commissioner of the General Land ice — Ata glance,you are convinced that you have before ye a man of experience, of worth, and of amia- ility of character. He is regarded as one of the soundest and most respectable among the democrats of the House. Just behind Gov. B. shuffles in and outof his seat, and is constantly on the qui vive, Mr. Wm. J. Brown, member from Marion, aman who is famous for tact, manceuvring and modesty, three qualities which have made him what he is, and which have, and are now rendering him ex- ceedingly beloved—almost to destraction—by the democratic party (with whom he professes to jibe) the leading members of which have determined to take him “out of circulation,” as soon as the Se- natorial election shall have taken place. Mr. Brown is supposed to be a creditor to the State for a large amount—but he 1s too kind-hearted to put the poor State into jail. That large square built person who is striding through the lobby behind the Speaker’s chair, with “thundering echo and fright- ful pace,” is Dr. Davis, an ex-member of Congress, and last winter Speaker to this House. He isan acknowledged Pericles, and possesses just such an influence in the House as his ability to set right the numbsculls of the party might be expected to give him. The Doctor is busily engaged this winter in fixing a Congressional District. He is a locofoco, dyed in the twool, and occasional- ly lights upon the British whigs with a fearful des tructiveness. That little gentleman who is now ad- dressing the House in relation to the trust funds of the.State, and ever and anon grows porientons in his own loud and clamorous threatenings, is Mr. Gorman, of Menroe—an elegant little chap, be- loved by the ladies, and who presumes upon his elo- quence, as constituting his right to be first among the democrats of the House. He is constant! speaking, and taking up the time of the House wit lengthened harangues, which wear out the patience of the members. As adebater, however, he ranks among the foremost in the Hall, and would, if he should exercise the smallest modicum of judgment make a valuable member. Near Mr. Gorman, ani isnow calling him to order, fidgets Mr. Butler, of Vanderburgh, a good and loyal whig, and a clever gentlemanly tellow, Mr. B. belongs to the reserve corps of his party, and believes in the legitimate right of whigs to the ascendancy. He seldom says much, save to settle some among the most rabid of the locos. Once in a while he astonishes some Bunkkum consumption man withjthe previous ques- tion, and very frequently cuts short the flights of Paraassian nights with “ explanation,” ‘ order,” &e. Adjoining Mr. B. lolls Mr. Edwards, a whig of very moderate abilities, indeed. He is young, uppracticed and modest; added to whieh he is trou- bled with a natural defection in the organs of speech, which unfits him for public debate. Rey Mr. Tevis sits next—t man who is remarkable for breadth of forehead and immensity of brain. It is shrewdly supposed by some that he has wonderfully expanded the dimensions of his forehead by a very injudi- cious use of his razorin the a a yn of the temples. He seldom speaks—perhaps has nothing to say, and therein he exhibits more wisdom than those around him. On the other side of the Hall, his eyes flashing indignantly, and his eloquent head bristling with porcupine import, wonderfully gapes with astonishment and awe, the precocious member from Jennings, Mr. Rich, a youth of twen ty-one years, whom the talent of that county have senthere to legislate forthem. He unites, in a pre- eminent degree, the qualities of a schoolman and the fledgling politician, and is, as near as one can conceive, the embodied conception of a Talleyrand Immediately adjoining him, is Mr. Robinson of Car- roll, a second rate leader in the democratic ranks; Mr. R. isa pretty fair debater, and a tolerable rea: soner,and occasionally stirs up a good deal of merri- meot inthe House, Teannotin this letter give you of the more wonderful members Suffice it, such a Legislature never before conven- ed in the State of In Wisdom and liberality (so farasthey are possessed of the abilit ») seems to be ruling principles with them, and thie te no concise means of disposing of such gender other than that adopted by a celebrated character in speak- ing of an assembly of a like charaeter—“the devil never before herded together such a mase o| irre deemed and irredeemable Solons.”* ‘The political complexion of the nt Legisla- tare # nearascun be, atie. The death of a» democratic member, a day or 80 since, has given the whigea decided advantage, and they will take the earliest means to profit by that advantage. It is not probable, however, that the election for Senator will take {place} until after the ,State conventions T. HB. a full description of the House. — is not hkely'o be allayed by the character of the important business before this Legislature. The districting of the State, which is at present occupy- ing the attention of both Houses, will be attended with a good deal of difficulty. Both parties are striving for the mastery, and they display not a lit- We cunning in the manner in which each propose to divide the State. It is to be hoped, that in the pre- sent state of parties, a pretty fair action willbe had on this subject. Each yarty is jealous of the other, and watches with eager eye the slightest movement towards gerrymandering. ‘The editorial fraternity here are very despicable. ‘The parcies are becoming heartily sick of their or- gans, and, it is easily to be seen, intend as soon as possible, to be rid of the Journal and Sentinel—pa- pers disgraceful, and reflecting great discredit upon the parties they profess to support. Indianapolis is very dull this winter. The state of morals is proportioned tothe number of visitants duriag the session of the Legislature. ‘The charac- ter of the town is decidedly moral, and approaches forex toward: religious; yet the unbridled license ot the many who come here as lobby members and ookers-on, disturbs not a little the serenity and morality of the good citizens. Indianapolis, how- ever, is a pleasant place—has much the appearance of acity—and can lay claim to a great share of the virtues which adorn our southern cities and towns, hospitality and general benevolence Added to this, is the charms which spring from the society of hosts of beautiful and accomplished women, who areevery day seen in the lobbies of the capitol, smiling upon the list of bachelor members, an greeting with unaffected warmth their acquaintances among the older and more staid. There may be seen the gay and charming Mies E. M—s; the stately and veluptuous Miss M. W—+t; the laughin; and interesting Miss A. T——t; the accomp! hed and classic Miss S——; the lovely and ingenious Miss J.N——d; the witty and vivacious Mrs. W—k; the amiable and discreet Mrs. B—r, and the an- welic and Circe-like Miss S. P —r, who, together with a troop of others, teeming h beauty and charming virtues, go to make up a society delight- fully pleasant and agreeable. This is but a slight and imperfect sketch of the many things which it attempts. In future numbers L hope to improve, and there is every reason to sup- pose that a gayer season, both in political and secial life, isathand. I shullavail myself of the earliest opportunity to apprise you of the doings of the Le- gislature in relation to the election af US. Sena- tor, as well as of all other matters of importance. Your friend, c. Springfield, Ma: (Correspondence of the Herald.) Srrinerieip, (Mass.,) Jan. 12th, 1843. Fashionable Movements in Springfield—Grand Ball —Iadies and Dresses—Leaders of the Fashion— Breaking up of the River—A Pulpit Filled. Mr. James G. BENNETT:— Dear Sir:— The rich and racy correspondence with which the pages of your excellent journal is daily filled, and the eagerness with which it is sought after, is the strongest evidence of its popularity, and cannot fail to convince the most skeptical of its wide-spread circulation—and while it finds its way into every parlor, and is the inmate of every boudoir, is not the less a usefull companion to the man of business. It has now been a long time since any of your corres- pondents from this section of the “ land of steady habits” has flourished a quill for your edification. Pezhaps a brief history of the “sayings and doings in this flourishing little village would not be uninter- esting to you and the numerous readers of the “Herald.” ? The ‘‘New Year” here, was ushered in with rather more noise and bustle, than is usual on such ogeasions, it being the day preceding the annual ball given by the fire department of Springtield—and as it is probably the most recherche affair of the season, it is not extraordinary that the note of pre- paration, for weeks previous, should be distinetly perceptible. The committee of arrangements, con- sisting of six of the most popular and gentlemanly members of the department, having fixed upon “Masonic Hall” as a dancing room, decorated it for the occasion, and no tormer effort has ever been crowned with more complete success—numeroxs and beautiful transparencies, representing some ex- traordinary exploits achieved by some of their in- trepid members, were among the most conspicuous ornaments—muniature engines, of exquisite work. manship, and other implements indicative of the or- der to which they belong, were interspersed through the room, rendering the whole a most sublime and Sorgeous scene. i ‘ Theeventful evening at length arrived, gladdening the heart of many a benuteous “‘belle,” and render- ing the 2d of January, 1843, famousin the annals of tashionable lite in Springfield. The threatening as- pect of the skies during the morning, caused many a tair bosom to beat high with fear, that the evening would prove inauspicious, and mar their brightest anticipations of happiness. The night was indeed stormy, yet the ladies donned their sweetest smiles and gayest attire, and sleighs filled with their fair freight continued to arrive until the spacious hall was filled to overflowing. At eight o’clock the ball was opened by G. D—t, Esq., and his amiable lady; the Hoor was soon filled with beautiful ladies, whose fair countenances lighted uy with the glow of excite- ment, as they were whirled through the mazy circles of the dance. ¢ . ‘J It would seem almost invidious to particularise, where there was such a multitude of beautiful and intelligent ladies, but I trust that you will allow me to trespass upon your time sufficient to notice a few of the reigning belles of the evening. The “ bright particular star” was Mrs. M., of Boston; her elegant form was displayed to the best advantage beneath a black velvet bodice Schaar of pink, her raven tresses and sparkling black eyes contrasting admira bly with a skin of snowy whiteness. The two Misses E. attracted unusual attention by their sylph- like figures and naivé manners. Miss F. was the theme of praise, for the simplicity of her costume and modest demeanor. Miss W. looked truly love- ly; her tall and beautiful form arrayed in white, her pure and classic features lighted up by the excite- ment of the dance, rendered her aa object of uni- versal admiration. Mrs. M. also attracted much at- tention. Mrs C., the accomplished lady of a mem- ber of Congress, was constantly surrounded by a ctowd of admirers. Miss D. was neatly attired,and drew forth many commendations, particularly trom Mr. T.; but time and space will not allow of a more lengthy notice of this mughty array of beauty, and will necessarily preclude all notice of the gentle- men. At Il o'clock, the band struck upa march from “Norma,” and the whole company descended to the room below to supper. Here a scene presented itself that my humble pen instinctively shrinks from any attempt at description. The managers deserve great credit for their unweareid exertion to promote the comfort and happiness of all who participatedgin the amusements of the evening; and the occasion will long be remembered as the gala-day of 1843. Our river, the noble Connecticut, has this day dis- robed itself of its winter habiliments, and donned itssummer apparel. The water is extremely high, and the ice is rapidly carried off by the current. The seventh Congregational Church in this place is thisday dedicated, and the Rey.

Franxrort, Ky., 7th Jan., 1843, Dear Str :— The election for Senator came on to-day, and ree sulted in the choroe of the present incumbent, J. J; Crittenden, over Col. R. M. Johnson, by a majority of 45. The great democratic convention will be held here on Monday next, when R.. M. Johnson will be nominated forthe Presidency. The Rev. Thomas Malcolm preached the most terestintsermon I have ever heard—the subject was, “sin will be punished.” His text was, 22d chapter Jeremiah, 24th verse. Mr. M. graduated at Prince. ton, N. J., is ason of the Rev. Howard Malcom, late missionary to the Burman empire, and now President of Georgetown College. Mr. Maleom is about twenty years old, and one of the finest speak- ersin the west. His youthful appearance and de- votedness to the cause of his Savior, brings crowds to hear the message that he is the bearerof. Al- though 80 young, he has charge of the Second Bap- tigt Church, in Louvisville, where his labor is almost cher rewarded by additions to the church he has charge of. Among the ladies arrived recently is Miss E. P of Louisville, P. 8.—Sonday morning. to the depth,of 18inchee. FRANKLIN. It snowed last night Settlement of the Public Printing Business—Ap- pointments—More of the Office Seekers—The Con- tract Bill, $c, We have quite stirring times here for the last two days, growing out of the fieree contest that is going on among the claimants for the State printing. The Senate have had two sessions (Thursday and Fri- day) characterized by most exciting debates, and all between the locos. Last night they were in session until 10 ©’clock, when the bill, giving the nomination of State Printer to the Governor, and allowing each House to choose their own printer, was passed by a vote of 16 to 12. The objection to Mr. Foster’s amendment, urged in the discussion, was that it was vesting additional power in the Executive branch of the Government, which it was contended was already too powerful. It- was insinu- ated, nay, directly charged in the course of the de- bate, that Mr. Foster was induced to offer this amendment because he had some candidate, whose claims he did not dare to leave the Legislature in joint ballot to decide upon. There is but little doubt but that this quarrel grew out of the conflicting claims of the candidates. The bill wassent to the Assembly to day for concurrence, and will come up for consideration on Monday, In the House its passage is doubtful, and the discussion is likely to be still more violent. The Governor and Senate made two appoint. ments to-day. Wm. Mitchell, surrogate tor Wyo- ming county, vice Henry Putnam resigned, and Jo- seph Blair, Judge of Fulton county, vice Thaddeus St. Joha, removed from the count ; Below I give you some additions to the list of office seekers, with some corrections of those al- ready sent:— James Conner, city of New York, Inspector of Ashes.

I should not be surprised if he re- ceived the nomination, and of his capabilities to dis- ciate the duties, all who know him can bear evi- lene. Tom Riley, of the 5th Ward Hotel, is here. I don’t hear that Tom wants bee office in particular himself, but he’s come to help somebody else.— Tom isa great man; he goes heart and soul for his friends. ‘ To the surprise and chagrin of many of your New York locofoces here, the Senate have most uncere- moniously kicked the bill from the House in relation to contracts by the New York Corporation to death. The committee, consisting of the Senators from tve first district, unanimously reported that it ought not to pass. Tins is unfeeling, isn’t it, after the exer- tions made by M y of the city delegation, to drive it through? Can’t you console them a little? In the Legislature to-day, importance done in either branch. Several stand- ing committees were uppointed in the Senate.— They were in Exeeutive session for the firat time to-d The probability is that a large number of aipodninen will be made the coming week, of whigo I shall keep you duly advised. ‘The weather here still continues mild, although the river is not open clear through. The ice is suid to bestill very firm between New Baltimore and Poughkeepsie. But for this, a boat would have been at our pier from New York ere this. The city is at present quite lively, owing to the great number of strangers in town. There is really an army of office seekers, and walking up State street, one has to look thrice to satisfy himself that he is not actually in New York, so many of your ci- tizens are here. Indeed one New Yorker, it is said, actually forgot himself the otherday, and thought when the House adjourned and the members and office seekers were coming out of the capitol, that he was really in some locofoco meeting in the New York Park, 80 many of the usual attendants there did he meet. He found out his mistake, however, on moving that Mr. Grant take the chair. 4 MON. Puerto Cabello, {Correspondence of the Herald.) Purrto Canetto, Venezveta, Dec. 27, 1842.

It appeared that Croley and Martin entered into an agreement, the terms of which were, that Croley was to work for the term of one year at the tailoring business, for Martin, for which Martin was to pay him $75, and teach him'the trade. Croley, in pursuance of his agreement, went to work, and coi tinued at the business with Martin from Sept. 7th to Nov. 24th, when Martin told him that business was slack, and he thought it advisable to dispense with his services. Accordingly, Croley got his walking ticket, and he brought his action for the injury thereby done him, The agreement was fully proved by afellow chip of the plaintiff, whose testimony was given with all the frankness and Indepenpence of that highly respectable clas of citizens called merchant tailors. The services rendered by Croley were also proved, The defence set up was disobedience on the part of Cro'ey, by which he worked a forfeiture of his right of agtion under his agreement. To prove this, seve: nesses made their appearance on the stand. Among them, and not the least conspicuous in symmetry, dress and address was a young man named O'Neil, who testified that he dropt in some bal 4 to Martin’s store; saw Croley there, and saw Martin give him some work, wh ch he, the Croley, refused to operate upon. ‘The refusal the ness inferred from the sullen rollings of Cro ley'seye, for he did not refuse in words. The witness could not tell the size of the shop, or whether it was round, square or oblong,and on the whole furnished some merriment to the audience, particularly when he swore that Croley was sitting’ on the work loom, but could not tell whether he was working or not-— whether he sat in a workmanlike manner, or whether his lags were under him or his sinews jutting out in dne pro- portion. The defence failed in establishing disobedience, 4 Martin had offered Croley, alter he left him, $8 25 per week and board, ifhe would resume his place. After the summi @ up of counsel, Judge Hammond chi the jury in a succinct and clear manner. The jury retired, tad afer fa few minutes deliberation, returned into Court and rendered their verdict in favor of Croley, the plain- + For plaintiff, T. L. Dandher. For defendant, J. R. Brady.
