Then to the polls. The jescision of to-morrow's election will not be erased from memory to the latest generation. It will be either one grand step in the march of correct principles, and of improvement which shall be visible In the prosperity and happiness of the people in all after years, or it will be a fatal plunge in the dark retrogade step from the glorious example of our forefathers. CIRCUIT COURT. The Franklin Circuit Court has been in session in this place since Monday last. Several important cases have been disposed of. Those which Kerned to excite the most interest were the trials f Andrew Lyons and Isaac Griner.on a charge of robbery, which was committed near this place, on lie night of ihe 20th or June last, upon J . G. Jones, i travelling stranger, and which was noticed at the time in our paper. Griner's trial came up on Tuesiij. The evidence was very clear, and the Jury retired for only a few minutes and returned with a lerdict of guilty, and Isaac Griner was sentenced to 12 years hard labor in the State Penitentiary, ..j ... . ii, sum of 3UU to the sstate. Anare;r IUU l" F"J " -r f Lyons was tried on Wednesday, and was sentejf d to 14 years hard labor in the Penitentiary ,als 300 fine. These verdicts are just and corrcethe . j.nnitiiid outrageous robbery. isK. The mitigating circumstance to lighten thi,jng the upon the depravity of the human hearty worl f Ulcl riayear imprisonment is the extent oft., highway robbery, and this verdict of Mt, publu thiuk, will be a strong hint, for those have 1that euch things will not be suffered with iIla lne ean v,m, .. ... ---o ' , i. A man by the name of Baise was ensu m the fact day for larceny. We think it was for si. increase r il. IJn u'na fmind miilthv in the -.I to 30 davs imprisonment in the Coun"?Jail, and pay a fine of $10 to the State, and be disfranchised for the term of five years. There have also, been several civil cases of interest decided. Among which the suit of Mr. Pokv rs. Mr. Goble was not the least. This was brought by Mr. Posey, for the value of 2 horses which were poisoned to death by eating oats which were mixed with castor-beans, which plaintiff as a traveller purchased of the defendant as a keeper of a public house. We believe it appeared in evidence, that the defendant was ignorant of the heana being in the oats. The question was ably rgued by Johnson & Holland for defendant and Rsriden and Ryman for plaintiff. The Court fharged the Jury: "If the defendant sold the oats lothe plantiff to be fed to plaintiff's horses in the defendants yard for good oats, and the oats were mixed with poisonous seeds, by eating which the plaintiffs horses died, he is entitled to recover, although the defendant did not know of the poisonwi mixture." The jury found for the plaintiff. We understand that the attornies for the defen dant have filed a bill of exceptions to the decision of the court. We have thus given a brief notice of this case for public information, as it is a matter in which every tavern keeper is particularly interested. We think that a safe policy still sanctions this decis ion. Althouffh it mar aDDear hard for the indi'idual selling poisonous horse feed to be response Mi when he is ignorant of its existence, but pub lie tecurity requires it. Col. Stansbury, an Engineer under the employ of the State, paseed through this place on Sunday Iwt. He has been making an examination of the White Water Canal Route between this place and Lrenceburgh. This examination is made by order of the Canal Commissioners of Indiana, to "certain if there would be any chance of reaching tavrencehiirtrli hv P.nnl nr rtnil Rnid without "log a short distance through Ohio, in case they iould still presist in refusing to grant us permisP on to pass through a small part of their territory. ihe Engineer is of opiuion that the Canal can "Continued as far down as the mouth of Gimison F a little below Harrison, and then cross the " y a Rail Road to Lawrenceburgh or the CaN may be constructed no farther than the mouth f B'ue Creek, and then connect it with the LawPacebtlKrh & lndinr,nl;a R;1 Rnad hv a Rail f d up Blua Prppk rliiK will ho nnlir ahnut 12 ' 15 miles long.

! Thk Harrison Meeting, at Lawrenceburgh, . held on the 5th inst. appointed the Hons Geo. H. . Dcnn, Milton Gregg, and Maj. A. II. Dill, as i delegates to attend the State Meeting, to be held jat Indianapolis, on the second Monday in Deceraj ber next. These are men in whom the Democracy J of Dearborn county can have confidence.

The Hon. Elisha R. Potter, for several years a member of Congress from Rhode Island, died at his residence in that state, about the 1st inst. He is the gentleman who contested the right to a seat in Congress with Mr. Robbins. He had been unwell for a long time, but died setting in his chair. Jesse Hunt, Esq., has been appointed Post Master at Lawrenceburgh, in the place of James W. Hunter, Esq. deceased. It is an excellent appointment. We consider an editor the guardian of his press, and when any thing is published through his agency, he is responsible for its truth, its principles, and its doctrines, unless he expressly gives his objections to it. If he publishes a statement which he knows is false, a principle which is erroneous, or a doctrine which is not founded in truth and reason, but dangerous in its tendency, if he publishes it (no matter whether a responsible name is subscribed or not,) and does not dissent from its truth or doctrine, he is responsible to the community in which he lives for the injury sustained by throwing false doctrine before the world with his editorial sanction. No man has a right to say to him, that he 6hall published this or that. His journal is his own private property. No man has any better right to dictate to him what he shall fill it with, than they have what he shall say in his private lellert of correspondence. We received some communications during the last week which are full of error, false positions, and untenable conclusions. This we know as we have been longer familiarly acquainted with the 6ubjects,of their communications than the writers, .er me rKv tnr . !.;.. w, -.. u i u -0 1,16 safety and welfare of the we have bet .r .

We have seen several - L.lemen who attended these sales, but we give an account of them in the words of the Indiana Democrat.- "Four weeks were allowed for ihe two sales at the Laporte office, and so great was the demand for the fine lands of that country, that, with all possible industry on the part of the officers the sale was not concluded until long after night of the last day. The amount of land sold is not precisely known, as the books were not entirely brought up at the close of the sales; but it is thought that at least three hundred thousand dollars were paid for land. An immense crowd of persons attended the sale, and nearly all the valuable land in the District was purchased. The settleis generally got their homes at or near Congress price. The country is now receiving a heavy influx of wealth and enterprising farmers, and in a very shoit time will vie with any portion of the state or of the western country, in the variety and quantity of its products. To those who have seen the country, it would be useless to recommend or praise it; to those who have not visited it, we would say, go and see the ease with which plenty is produced, and learn the facility with which the husbandman grows rich, and the pleasures and comforts of that truly interesting portion of Indiana. Prospectut for a new paper. We have before us the prospectus for a new paper to be printed at Lawrenceburgh, la., by Cameron and Kendall. We are pleased to see that they are friendly to the Democratic Republican Candidate of the People for the Presidency. We quote the following sentence from their prospectus: "In politics we wish no concealment. It becomes every friend of his country to take a boldot decided stand, on the part of the PsopLK against the influence of the office-holdes, who arc using the money of the people, for the purpose of sustaining the heir apparent, and continuing themselves in the sunshine of governmental patronage. For the next Presidency we shall support the Democratic Republican candidate of the People, General William II emit llABRi805,oncof our own respected fellow citizens and neighbors. He has been enthusias tically designated by primary assemblies of the People, as the man of their choice, the individual whom thev would delight to honor. With the sage of North Bend, most of the citizens of this county are personally acquainted. He has been their friend and guardian from their infancy." These are sentiments in accordance with those to whom they look for support. We know that people. We have catered for them and we always feel ourselves under obligations of gratitude for a liberal support of our humble efforts. They looked over the inexperience and foibles of our youth, and we shall continually feel an abiding interest for their political and general prosperity. We hope the citizens of Dearborn will extend a liberal support to Messrs. Cameron and Kendall (if they are worthy, because we never wish the prosperity of the worthless,) so that they will never have more reason for complaint than we had. The title of the paper is the "Indiana Courier," and imperial size. From the Cincinnati Gazette. FORT HAMILTON CELEBRATION. On the 30th September, 1791, the troops under Gen. Wayne completed the erection of Fort Hamilton, and the first gun was fired from its battlement. This fort was erected upon the Miami riv er, and its site is now included in the town plat of Hamilton, the County seat of the County ot cutler, Ohio. . The citizens of the vicinity recently determined to celebrate the event of completing

this fort, and made preparations accordingly. The celebration took place on Wednesday last. It called together a great concourse of people, who were all filled with enthusiasm. Gen. Harrison was preent, by special invitation, as was also Mr. Creed.

late speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives Mr. Robert T. Lytle of our city, and others. It is not intended to give the details of what took place. At the dinner table, Mr. Creed, Mr. Lytle, John Woods, late Representative in Congress, from the District, and Francis Dunlew, for fourteen years President Judge of the Court of common fleas the last of the Pioneers, venerable for his years and venerated for his integrity, addressed the company. A procession was formed, the company marched to the actual site of the fort. There General Harrison addressed them, and recounted sundry interesting incidents of the days and of the men whose labors they were commemorating, not generally known, if at all, in the coun try, ins remarKs, elicited heart-felt and anima ted applause. In the evening there was a BUCKEYE HALL. This was numerously attended, bv the youth and the beauty of the town and surroun ding country, home of the natives of Cincinnati and other places, also attended. A few of mature and a few of advanced age mingled with them. it was a scene of joy and exhilaration, of life and spirit. The ball room was tastefully decorated with ever greens and clusters of the buckeye nut pendent, as if they were on their parent slem. 1 he words BUCKEYE BALL, in letters fifteen inches in height and of proper proportions, were constructed of buckeye nuts and attached to the wall of the ball room, so as to be conspicuous to every eye, and to appear perma nently a part of the wall itself. The entire cele bration was conceived and conducted with good feeling and sound judgment. It was rationally enjoyed, and passed off in the most gratifying manner. Potmnac Bridge. Yesterday, the President of the United States, accompanied by the Heads of departments and several other gentlemen, passed over the new Potomac Bridge on foot, and r ago ed in carriages. This useful work hap Jim retain dered passable in the very short period 01 one yea. from its commencement. It is one mile in length including the abutments; of which space 2000 feet are solid embankment of stone, earth, and gravel. The other portions are founded on oak piles, driven with great force into the bed of the stream The draws are sixty-six feet wide, and were opened in presence of the company In one minute and a half. They are very faithfully executed, and will support any weight which can be brought to bear upon them. The appropriation by Congress was $130,000; of which sum, over $30,000 will be saved by the economy of the Treasury Department, and a much better work constructed for the public than Congress contemplated. George W. Hughes is the principal Engineer, and A. B. McLean the assistant Engineer. The Contractors are Alanson Summer and Stephen Clark, of New York; who deserve much praise for their speedy aud literal compliance with the conditions of the contract. Globe. Another Steam Boat Accident. The Hero, Capt. Page, struck a snag near Sandy, on Tuesday last, and immediately sunk to the hurricane deck. She had a heavy load of dry goods on board, principally for this city and Louisville. The Hero had laid by for fog, which had partly cleared ofT when she put out; but it suddenly became so dense as to obscure the shore and the nearest object. Her passengers were brought down by the Huntress. No loss of life, or any serious injury, except to the boat and cargo. The boat can be raised again when tbe water falls a few feet. Cin. Gazette. The Rev. Mr. Twining of Massachusetts, has accepted a professorship in the Indiana Teacher's Seminary. Explosion of a Ponder Mill. We learn from the Delaware State Journal, "that one of the Powder Mills, belonging to the works of the Messrs. Duponts, on the Brandywine, exploded on Monday morning about D o'clock by which the mill was destroyed, and we re gret to say, two lives were lost. The loss of property is trilling. Arthur Tappan preserved Or a Plot Discovered. We regret to learn from a N. Y. paper that a conspiracy to abduct Arthur Tappan has been discovered, for which purpose, it is said two small craft are cruising in the offing, manned by persons determined to have him, if he is to be found either in New York or any part of New England. The Whigs of Bangor have invited Mr. Webster to a public dinner, and that gentleman has accepted the invitation. The Bank of the United States has succeeded in disposing of the business of fourteen of its Branches to the local Banks. Gen. Thomas Todd, formerly publisher of the Portland Argus, has been convicted ol a libel on Jonathan Cil'ey, Esq. of Thomastown, Maine, and mukted in damages to the amount of eleven hundred dollars. Both of the parties arc Jackson men. The Cleveland Herald states that the redoubtahle Ex-Governor Mason passed thro' that place last week on his route to Washington city. The object of his mission is no doubt to reinstate himself in the favor of the 'Government' (if he ever lost it.) have a Par son Gwynn letter written to 6ecufe his elec tion is Governor of Michigan, and contract on his part for the delivery of the vote of the new Slate to the appointed iieir.
