TIIE POST,

BLOOM IXGTON, INDIANA:

FRIDAY JANUARY 19, lS3:t.

THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE, rou. FItSSlDENT GEN. W. II. HARRISON.

AN APPRENTICE WANTED.

A liny of moral industrious habit?, who can rad V ... . . i . .1 iy . . I . I

na write, will betanen ai mis onice to icarn me an

of printing, if application bo maae immediately. Jejfersanvlire and CratrfrdsviUc Rwi. Our readers are already apprised that tlie Hoard of In

ternal Improvements have decided that this road

shall be a McAdamizcd Turnpike instead of a Rail

Itoad. Upon examination being made by the engi

neers employed for the purpose, it is found that a

suitable rail road cannot bo constructed without expanding more money in its com;letion than would be practicable in the State at this time. According t the estimate male in the report of the engineers

it appears that a rail road would cost near fee mill-

i ms of dollars more than a McAdamizcd turnpike.

A great majority of the citizens along the route are

highly pleased with the decision of the board and will no doubt frculy pay the additional tax which tho Iutcrnal Improvement sy"v- i.iado it necessary to impose upon then. e must confess that we have been disappointed ntvl w.-nilJ ''much rather have a railroad than a McAdamizcd turnp:ke pass through our town; but wc will content oursclf by believing that a half haf is Letter than no bread stall. Sinco the report of the Engineers upon this road has been made to the board of Internal. Improvements, they passed a resolution to purchase of the JclTersoimUe and Salem Turnpike Company, their interest in said roa, with the ex ception 9 ntilcsthU side of Jelfersoaville. If the bs. .d succeed in bjying this company otrt, the road will b? commenced at Jcuersonville and pars through New Ar-

b.iny anJ intersect that part purch 1 f.-om the company 9 miles this ido of J. orso:i il!o. The proposition 9f the board is to pay the company the nvAunt which they have expended on said roa 1. J3r. Maxwell, the acting Commissioner upon the road, is appointed by the bind to negotiate with the company. Ho is now at luU pl'we awaiting an answer from the company. Will our correspondent 'Oetaviu,' bo kin I enough to tarnish us with another cny of her last favour we have mislaid the first. We have received several .--. v.vtr.icatiuns which wc i-annot give attention to thi- woJi.

PH. "oads CU the sanib lines, as the cost to build a rait i

road on a McAdamized road would be comparatively

small to that of building a road where nothing has

been done.

A printed resolution was introduced this morning

by Mr. Noble, to indefinitely postpone the work on the Canal passing through Dearborn county, and the reason assigned, was, that the people of that c junty are opposed to the canal in question ; but 1

suppose it was intended as any thing but serious;

t he resolution was laid on the table.

The revision of the laws is in progress, and it is

hoped that we shall have a good code against the vision is completed, as it is in very competent hands. V -II .1 t . . . ... ...

iouwiii see in trie tast Jjemocrat, a pmtui article fiom the junior editor of that paper, on tho subject

of the election of pul ,;c printer. He feels the shaft

of public opinion, which his dirty arid vulgar course

since he came to Indiana has brought upon him, and

resorts to his usual method ol blackguarding those

with whom he is unworthy to contend. The Indiana farmer has replied to him in this morning's pa

per in a very prompt manner which reply is recom

mended to all those who have seen the article of the Democrat, as it places the Junior in his proper place

that oi a blackguard and iabricator ot base lies

On the 8th instant, tho scdf-stvled Democrats of the

day met in the Capitol and heard a real modern democratic speech from W. W. Wick. Now are

not the Democrats badly put to it for timberj to set up old Dill v Wick, an apostate Whig a man who

has figured with all parties, and without the conn

deuce of any a man who has repeatedly tried to go to Congress, the advocate of a National Bank, and

a man who has shown plainly, that popular favor is all he wants, no matter whether it is at the price of principle or interest. Yea, verily, Billy Wick

in rulhes is certainly the emblem of modem itemoc racy and Van Buren consistency. You shall hear from me again, A L0BBYMEMBr.Il".

For several day past the subject of classification has been under discussion, and a bll is now before tho House of that character, introditTMJ by Mr. Bennett, of Union county. It does not stril fc clrt any work, but in effect must, if it becomes p. law, (of which there n not much danger) gre;i!y prejudice the claims of many portions of tlu? Str.to. The bill will be printed in a few days, and I will send you a copy and then you will be able to pivo your readers an account of it. A classification bill was introduced a hhort time since, indefinitely posl oning further opcrations on the Crosi Cut Canal which was read ofce rules dispensed with, read a second time, and A motion of Mr. Smydth of Clay, the bill itself was indefinitely postponed, tin Tuesday the bill 'confirming the character of the Jciibi-sonvillo and Craw fords ville toad to be a McAdamizcd road, and making Spencer in Owen county a point on said rr,.-,l s iwisscd bv a vote of 74 to 22.

aml'Ihfayette Rail lioad to that oi a jicAuatnizea road. That wouW only be an act of common justice, inasmuch as the road passing through your place will be a McAdamized road. Members here frequently ask why Madison should be accommodated oer and nlwvc Jcflersonvillc when the work muAt necessarily cost much more ?' No scusible answer has yet been found to that question. There is no doubt but a McAdamized road is much better adapted to the wants of the agricultural portion of the community tha.i a Rail Road. O.i a McAdamizcd road they can transport their own products when and where they please. Such rt road can injure no interest. It will assist to build Uf the towns on tf.d'vlidVl line; while a Rail Rund, as all experience has proven, only builds up the towns at tho extremities of the line, while thovc on the intermediate ortion of the line, invariably dwindle from the tiif e such-trrfrlip'rovcincut is put in operation. The people of Monroe county must" be" benefited by the rhangA in the character of the work passing their coun-v. It is admitted by nearly nil of those acquainted with the subject, that Indiana is yet too joung tocutcr into such improvements as rail roads, the surplus not being sUiTictent lo keep a rail road i'fhwjincss auJ that the tiue policy of the state is to wako McAdantizeJ roads for tho present, and hrn the interest of tin- slu'.c requires it, make rail
