of Vinccnncs, not only arreted giving nira a toast, but a dinner al.-o, anil that on lis appearance at Yu-.t Harrison Praiiie imme

diately afterwards Lis E.vcellency receivfd the united congratulation's of the citizens, and did them the honor of accepting invitation f, ,ljtH. publicly both at Fort Harrison jcnd Perrc Haute. Instance so stiikingaiei jr.ot to he repeatedly adduced as conclusive; of public sentiment towards 1 Governor. i

If the people of Vinccrincs did net think proper to give the First Magistrate of the

Mate a dinner, it is nothing more to us than ; this, that the independent printer or editor (the former I expect) of an independent paper should not be so tenacious of the respect due both to the man ami office, as to decline pi in t i r:: proceedings delivered for pubiica-, tion. where, if nothing was advanced in favor of the Governor, nothing was said against him. .But it will be recollected his E.rcellency v.asxespectfully named on that day. These are nrobablv trifling circum

stances in comparison with those which have drawn an animadversion on the tran-! taction alluded to. The most considerable : part of the people in this section ot the sti:te have seen the folly of civil anil political division drawn out large as life ' in the two papers published at Vincennes. They have icit here too -the necessity of pacific steps on occasions where harmony was any way conducive to public measures, and the event to which we allude being one of those periods of concession, the most liberal and generous sentiments prevailed, as there were members of every political party in the state present to drink of the wine and share the feelings of independence which alone was the object of assembling. It is true, that some litte difficulty oiigiuated about powder to fire the only great gun (a 6 pounder) in the &tate, and that having been brought from Fort Harrison to Tcrre Haute, sonic of the violent ones came to the conclusion, and it was about being resolved,

that those who declined paving f r the pow-

Mr. Centin-.4, it is onlv required of you to

watch such well deposed people as you hae

ter of a peace-maker: but it is verv evident

irom- his feeling, as displayed in the following Lmuag-, that he, like many others, entertains too ocd an opinion of himself. lie is answered, upon tv: subject of the e.rpense of publication, that our press is not permitted to e.rist upon such materials. If he would find a maiket for his coin, we vould direct him to a neighboring printing cfiice to find a hireling for his purpuse.aud a press ar.d a cause sufneiently contemptible.

within reach of your bayonet, and these who are united in political and civil compact will guard you for the future against the weakness, foible and fault you committed in the dark to the prejudice ol his e.vceHency the commander in chief of centinels and people ; and of the reality of our ability to do this von can have doubt, for those who can make their governor can protect vou.
