of his views in a short time. We should be glad

fT.ao-frnm him a minute detail of Ins views on both of

tUBbblivf " . . , nortant ouestions it is also the wish

of many of the people here, that the Candidates sever l!v lav before them their opinions on the various ques

tioiw upon which they will be called upon to act, if

elected. CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS, ia "We have now in the field four Candidates to repre ait this district in the 23rd Congress. Two are fa

.jrable to the present administration, and two opposed to it. Whether the question will be brought to

" ear in the Election is vet to be decided it will, how

'ever, govern the choice of many. 1 is now time that

inauirv be substituted into the qualifications of the sev

eral candidates. We want men in high stations who

can sustain our interests, and if there be such an one

before us, we should inquire him out and bestow upon

him our suffrages. W e know that a contrariety ot o

ninion exists as to the qualifications and claims of the

several candidates. And we also know that much has been said and will be said of them, that bears no semblance to truth, and hence it is important that we weigh with candor, what we may hear, and place a fair ebtimite upon it. We hold it to be but fair and liberal that all men who prefer charges by the grost, dozen, 4c that is, with a sleeping clause, blacken the character of a man .should be called upon to give specifications, and at least show some authority for thier accusations. How easy a matter is it for a man, in the absence of another, to proclaim the absentee a d d villain, and heap upon him very species of epithet! This course is too often resorted to, and we may say there is too much toleration given to such conduct by the people themselves. It has a direct tendency to destroy character and encourage slander. These remarks are general, and will apply with equal force to all the candidates. STATE BANK. The time ia rapidly approximating when the people will be called upon to make choice of their Representative! in the next General Assembly of this State. There is alio a question of considerable importance,

to wit: that of establishing a State Bank and Branches. lt coming to a conclusion aa who they can support, they feel a solicitude in having the sentiments of the candidates on this, and such other subjects as may interest thtrn. We have been solicited to make this call, and it is geutral. CRIME. It is horrible to contemplate the rapid increase of trime in our country. And we are almost reidy to believe that light and knowledge broods corruption instead of virtue. The older we grow in the arts and

sciences, the deeper we are plunging in the vortex of

vice and folly. The rapid multiplication of deeds of horror, may in I smill degree be attributed to the increase of populationthough the growth of our population bears no comparison with the augmentation of crime; and therefore, we can only conclude that the people are becom

ing daily more degenerate. Rapine and murder, that but a few years ago would chill the blood, now is looked upon as a matter almost of course, owing to the frequency of their occurrence. Lamentable as this may

seem it is too true.

sorted to by the worthless portion of the population of all large cities, are so various as to require the utmost circumspection on the part of the Unwary in their intercourse with strangers. A western Merchant who had visited the city on business went on board the steamboat Constitution on Saturday morning, to depart for Albany on his return home. Whilst engaged at the Captain's office, settling for his passage, be noticed, without suspicion, a well dressed pcron standing near him, who, after the merchant had finished his business with the Captain, civilly addressd him, stating that he was bound to the same section of the country, and was happy in Qieetinc a eentleman with whom he mi?ht diver

Election.

To the Citizens of the -ith Congressional District,

composed of the counties of Switzerland, Dearborn, Frajifclin. Rush and Ripley. Fellow-Citizens : I am a candidate for Congress, and my

sentiments are briefly these: That wc keep up

a protecting 1 arm, and upon the proceeds there

of to establish a Bank for the sole benefit of the

People, who are citizens of the United States-

that each State have a Branch of that Bank, and

be entitled to elect one Director, who shall serve one year; that the whole of the Directors meet

at the mother Bank once a year, and that the proceeds of those Banks be divided amongst the

States according to the ratio of Representation. For if we have a credit, let us make use of it for our own benefit; and, when the Bank gets into operation, it will free our citizens from the payment of one cent of tax, and they can then live as free as the water that runs from their springs; for all the tax that they will then have to pay, will be in buying and selling foreign goods, which they have their own consent to do. Our Factories will come in successful competition with those of Europe. For I well know that before we had any Manufactories or a Taritf, British goods, such as Calicoes and Muslins, sold from 50 to 75 cents per yard. Since we have a Tariff, those articles have come down to 15 or 25 cents per yard, and we Farmers get a much better price for our produce. We have not suffered by having a TarilFto protect our manufactories. It therefore has been a benefit to all interests of the country. The next thing is to provide a way for the poor to become freeholders', and to attach to and inspire them with a love of their country. For at tliis time there is one-fourth of our population that have none of the soil no. not so much as to set their feet upon! Let us make a way that they may suck their mother earth, for there is land enough, of the refuse kind, that if improved and cultivated, would be of great benefit to our country. If we want men to fight our battles or
