SATURDAY AUGUST 11. Annual Election. We intended giving the returns of this and the neighbouring counties, in detail, but are unable this week. The result in our senatorial district is the election of Co!. Siroirz of Blartin county, by a majority of 107 votes. In this county for Representative jMajor Beckes had 474 votes, beating G. W. J hvs.n Esq. by 91 : G. W. Johnson h. d 333, leading Judge M'Calt. by 05 votes. W illiam L. Colman is elected Associate Judge ; Samuel Emison, James P. Badolelt, and Francis Leach are County Commissioners; and Thomas Emison, James II. JV Donald, and James Alton, Directors of the Poor In Knox county, (Laus Deo !) the votes in favor of balloting were nearly two to one; and there is little doubt that nine tenths of the votes in the state will supp rt the correctness of our choice. We hear that Judge Prince is elected Representative from Gibson John Johnson from Pike and Dubois James G. Head from Davis and Martin Norman W Pearce in Green, Owen and Morgan Col. Benefidd in Sullivan Gen. Sturgus from Vigo and Parke and Thomi-s II. Blake, Esq. rides to the Senate from Sullivan, Vigo, Parke. Green, Owen and IMorgan, on a majority of nearly a thousand votes.

The Grass in ihe River, opposite the Uorough, demands speedy and effectual attention. The recent showers contributed much to diminish this great nuisance; hv.t it has immediately re-appeared, and in such pestiferous abundance as to give serious apprehensions to our most intelligent citizens. Yesterday evening, the stench from the putrid slime which it causes, was plainly perceptible to those who approached it; and it absolutely calls jor the interference of the Corporation. In any other country, their neglect would be wonderful.

Tlie Death of Napoleon, which is reported in our foreign news, is not at all improbable: That this man should so long have survived such signal calamities, is far more astonishing. It is possible that if he had retained his power, he might have. died at this time ; and it is not impossible that his death was the wish of the English government. We all Iknow that a British ministry is se dom troubled with qualms of conscience; and horrid as the premature death of Bdnaparte would be, it will not surprise those ivho arc acquainted with the last hundred years of English history. As to the fact of his death, the people of Europe and America do not know that he was living one month after his arrival at St. Helena. Poor old Ireland still continues restless under British whips and in British chains. Robbing and murdering, flogging and gibbeting, are the chief occurrences, in that unhappy and oppressed country. These are some of the blessed effects of tlie Union with England, which is neither more nor less than the union which connects a martyr to the stake. The people of Ireland are starved to madness, and then scourged for their phrenzy : they

txrc taxed to distraction, and then hang

ed for their despair. May ruin alight on those shameless apostates who have destroyed their native land, and are now fattening on the blood and treasure of their countrymen.

roR the ivdun-a cektisel. TO THE CITIZENS OF ILLINOIS. You recollect a county meeting at the Ball Hill Prairie, in Edwards, composed of a very large collection of American Citizens, assembled to take into consideration the State of the County, &c. kc. on the 2 1st April, of this year ; the proceedings of whieh meeting were sent to be published in the Indiana Centinel, and were published in this paper on the 5th of May. In the preamble and resolutions adopted on that day, these citizens had the goodness to exculpate me from the censure they cast on the Commissioners for their conduct in fixing the county seat These proceedings roused the anger of one of the Commissioners, A. G. S. Wiht by name, who has taken up a whole column in the Shawnectovvn paper to give vent to his jealousy and duplicity. Now I wish to mike strangers acquainted with this gentleman, IVizht ; for I have no doubt that those who are acquainted with him, know him well enough ; and if they have a better opinion of him than I have, I think it argues but little to their knowledge. For my part, I hope I may never be associated tvith such a man again by an act of the Legislature, for his conduct was as base as baseness can be. Messrs. Williams, Tade, and this great Col Wight, with myself, were appointed Commissioners to iix the County Seat of Edwards. It is true, I could not attend at the pce appointed until the fourth day, at which time Tade, Williams, and this Wight were gone to a place called Albion. When we met, they had tickets prepared, and wished to hurry the vote. Not being fully acquainted with the county, I could not so instantly decide which was the most eligible spot; but the others insisted Cade and ms were in favor of Albion: Wight as he pretended, in favor of Section 24, two miles north, one east of Albion. This was on Monday. 1).: Tuesday, in consequence of Tade's voting for Albion, the same Wight who now makes such a figure, declared Tade to be a perjured villain, and wished lie had him at the bottom of the Albion Well, for he would keep him there until he came to terms. Now take a view of this gentleman Wight's conduct after using this expression He joined Mr Tade in fixing the county seat at Albion, and after the vote was finally carried, he took me behind the door, andtoid me that if he thought I would have voted in favor of Waxboroltgh, he and Mr fVUlimas would have voted for it, also! This at once convinced who and what this Wight was; while Mr Tade was consistent throughout. I deny there being any threat within my knowledge, about mobs ; nor wus there any agreement or understanding that I should not go to act with the other commissioners I arrived there as soon as my business would possibly permit me; and any thing to the contrary is foul and false as the motives of Mr. Wight. Wight says that the only objection .icant of icaler) was removed. If this was the case, it could only have been by a heavy rain about' that time, or some such miracle as is recorded in Exodus. We were invited by a number of respectable citizens to take a look at the country; but Messrs Tade, Williams and Wight declared they were ail well acquainted with it It is true, they were at Carmi, Pilmyra, and the Ball ft the Ball Hill about 4 miles west of Palmy w; asi (&sCt!y on the roadtc dlkivn:

Carrnl iro miles below Palmyra. This appears to have been the amount of their peregrination ; and to make up for their want of industry by shewing their lack of judgment or honesty, they located the county seat at Albion, a spot destitute of soil, timber and water, only about four miles from the western county line, and without one single natural advantage I should not have taken any notice of this noisy Col. Wiht, if it had not been necessary for the public satisfaction He is in no other view worthy of attention. As respects my allusion to 31r. Birkbeck, Wight reminds me of the man w ho was sober but one day in all his life, and then his neighbors thought he was drunk. He is so long used to abuse and blackguardism, that when he hears a decent remark, he thinks it must be an insult. At all events, I pronounce him a low deceptive creature, unworthy of public confidence ; and little did I expect to be attacked in print by a man of his color, for doing my duty influenced by nothing but my oath, and my sense of justice to my fellow men.
