THE CENTINEL
VINCENNES .NOVEMBER C7, 1SI9.
The feelings of men of honorable minds, who have chanced to pcrue some late numbers of the Western S:ir:, have been much disgusted at the conduct that paper ha? pursued, in relation to the late Receiver of Public Monies at Vinccnncs. That conduct is unmanly as it is dishonorable; and we are almost surprised, after so many pointed expressions of
puonc opinion, mat tue inanawr ot that pa11 M I
annually circulated, this department ought 'asd substance in this -food exceeding the to be preserved pure; or instantly purified, 'richestvenison ; and I am not surprised at if corruption has crept in. It must be so the belief of the inhabitants (who all have a conducted as to enjoy the public confidence, .prodigious progency) that women, who feast or it will lose its nuh'.ic usefulness.

TOWNOl Smallsbiir&o SJfALLSBURG is pleasantly situated on the Western bank of the Biver" IEM B ARRAS, about ona'and a half miles from its confluence with the WABASH, and about Sir miles AVest of VINCENNES, on the Great Road leading to St. Louis and Kaskaskia ; and is in as fertile and healthy tract of country a3 any in the Western World ; and perhaps there is no scite for a town, West of the Alleghanics, possessed of more local advantages. The IEM B ARRAS, at that place, affords one of the best MILL-SEATS in the western country, which has on it now a complete Sawmill, and a Grist-mill is erecting, that will shortly be in operation. It enjoys all the advantages of river navigation, as any boats, which float on the Wabash, can at all times come up to the Mill without obstruction. The Town is laid out at the cardinal points of the compass, which completely correspond with the course of the river at that place. SMALLSBURG is laid out on a liberal scale, with a vietr to the convenience and gratification of its inhabitants. Front Street is ninety feet wide : Main and Market streets, which cross each other at right angles in the public square, are each ninety feet wide, and all the others arc sixty six. The alleys, which divide the lots in due order, are each sixteen feet wide.
The Town is laid oflfin 24 blocks, exclusive

It is an ofiice, in which it is indispensably necessary that the holder should be immediately and .vrsonally responsible to thc government for the faithful, the strict, and scrupulous performance of its duties. A postmaster's deputy, shrouded in suspicion, and almost convicted of guilt, and responsible only to his brother-in-law, is a spectacle upon which no citizen can look with confidence.

and the circumstances leave no room to doubt on thc subject, the hank owes it to him, and to the respectable board of directors of this office, to enter into some explanation of the motives that have led them to the measure. Such treatment is cruel, and if we were to use a much harsher expression it w ould not be unbecoming. If Mr. Cheeves and his associates can thus sport with the character and feelings of an individual who has served them with fidelity and ability, it is the privilege of the press to remind them of their ingratitude and injustice. We have had occasion to break a lance or two with Mr. Worth in his defence of the bank in the public papers, and wc can bear witness to the zeal and ability which he advocated its interests. Bat it appears to be a crme in this institution to have the common feelings of humanity ; every man concerned in it is required to be a Shylock.
