AMERICAN BROOKVILLE, INDIANA FRIDAY JAN. 9, 1835 COUNTY ASSESSOR.--The County Commissioner .r. -.1... Iit ft 'lntiirite J J.-iroh lnllssnfr on Tuesday last, appointed Jacob Fausset, Esq. As Franklin county, for the year 1835. GEN. W. H. Harrison.-- We call the-particu-attention of our readers to an article in this paper from the Cincinnati Courier headed "General Harrison." The sentiments expressed in that article will meet with a cordial reception in every true American's breast, and more especially in the vicinity of the theatre of his acts of noble daring. The nomination of the Hero of the Thames is finding favor throughout the country. We believe General Harrison to be a pure and incorruptible patriot, and a man of superior abilities. Relocation of the County Seat of Dearborn. Ever since we have known the situation of Dearborn county there; have been two geographical parties in that county, which have always operated in their elections, owing to the unequal location of the county seat. At the last election, those in favor of re-locating' the County Seat, succeeded in electing all their Representatives who would act in acwith their wishes. Consequently petitions have been forwarded, praying1 a re-location, and we think, from present prospects, a bill far that purpose will be passed during the present session. On Wednesday, Iec. Slst, Mr. Walker, Chairman cf the select committee to which the several petitions on tlm subject were referred, reported a bill providing for the re-location, which was read the first time, and pissed to a second reading. Brookville and Richmond State Road. Mr. Johnston, one of our Representatives, presented to tie House of Representatives, on the IX th of Dec. a petition from the citizens ef this county, Union sad Wayne, praying for a State Road from Brookvilie to Richmond, which petition was referred to a select committee of Messrs. Johnston, Conwell, Bennett, Mcndenhal!, and Curtis. This road is T:y much needed. Xew Taper. V have received the firtt Number of a new paper, just commenced at Ccntrcvillo, 1. on a Super Royol sheet. It is published by S. C. Meredith, and edited by Jamks H. IIaili:, Ke.q. formerly of this place. Mr. Ilaile is a young man ef respectable talents, but is entirely unacquainted ';th the Printing business. We feel a deep interest for bis success, but from bis limited knowledge of the business we fear that it will be a "loosing toncern" to him. In politics, lie takes a neutral coarss, but is a warm advocats of our proposed Whita water Can a . , W1IITEV.-ATEII CVNAL.

we learn that the a large and' rcefiVk"77 -feffV.

meeting was held in Vigo county, on the 27th of Dec. to take into consideration the establishment of a liberal system of Internal Improvement throughout the State. The meeting regarded Canals as the most safe, economical, and where prac ticable the most desirable mode of conveyance for property of every kind, and especially heavy commodities, and after giving the views of the meeting at considerable length in a preamble, adopted the following, among other resolutions, to forward the object of which they request their Senetor and Representatives to exert their influence, to effect the measure contemplated by the meeting. Thev also request the other counties in the State to cooperate with them in promoting this object. 2 heref rc, Resoh(d, As the opinion of 11 is meeting, That it is expedient, ut litis time, to lay the foundation of a li'rat syitent of Intermil Improvcmrnts that the extension of the AVahali and Erie Canal to some point on the Ohio river, to-wit: Evansville or Mount Vernon the construction of a Canal from some point on White river above Indianapolis to its mouth, or to intersect the Wabash and Eric Canal, and the construction of a Canal from the mouth of Nettle Creek, along the hite Water Valley, to he improvements, promising the most auspicious results to the interests of Indiana, and alike worthy the enterprise and energy of a free and enlightened penile. The editor of the Wabash Courier, in the trtia spirit or liberality, in Bpeakirtr of Mr. V awter proposition to borrow $1 ,400,(00 to be expended in Internal Improvments, takes the follow ing notice of our contemplated Canal. The editor of the Courier, (Mr. Dow ling) is one of the ablest, most high-minded, and liberal men that bel.is to tLe editorial corpse of Indiana. "Though the sum proposecd to be borrowed is large, considering every thing, we are pleased to see the matter agilated,"believing that public opinion will soon point out the expediency or inexpediency of the measure. We arc at a loss to know, however, wiiy something has not been proposed for the White Watlcr end Ohio Gtnal, a work which, we apprehend, all will concede to be of great importance to one of the most desirable portions of the State. We hope to see this last measure urged with zeal, laying aside all sectional considerations, as those who legislate should do, and as they 7j7 do, if fit to represent an infellircnt npnnlp.

If a reason is wantinr for this apparent abuse of time, it is at hand. The Legislature is comprised of an unusual number of new members, (two-thirds.) thev are nearly all pledged to do or undo some thing, and hi their efforts to redeem their promises the journal will show, they have not been remiss.
