F?Uoiv-Citizens, Upon my arrival at this

place on my way to Columbus Court, where

1 had been summoned to attend as a witness, I was presented with the ' Indiana

Farmer,'' printed at i?alem, containing a

list of interrogatories which the w riter pre

Mimes will be answered by myself or

friends It ha been rrv determination not to ap

pear in Pamphlets or News-papers whilst

contsnuitii!: in ofhee a1 Governor of the

State, to jusdfv niv i flicial act, if fnr ru other reasons than becaue such a course is

unknown in other states, antl because if

every question which the malevolence of

enemies miht put to me through the pre-s,

should be answered through t.ie same medi

um, more time would be consumed than o.y public ar.d private concerns cuuld possibly ailodt.

The ifoj-uHtion, r.s an appandac tn Ro

man religion, in its practice rcquutd it anv one w a us,"ectetl td riot duty reverencinj; the Holy ('ulfi )lic faith, that he should he put to the rack antl compelled to furnish evidence for ids own condemnation, or be tortured even to death for his refusal. y fellow citi.-ns will jude. whether in the annals of p oli ical pet secution, a more un-

qeneroiis attack has ever come within their knowledge. If '-An Old Resident,, were known, it muht appear that he is a citizen of this place: that thos" questions were manufactured here, antl sent to Salem for publication: that thi writer has been a disappointed flice-seeker, or that he belongs to t combination of men ctmiposetl of the slave party, well known a few years past; or a certain other net of men who have united with them for the purpose of destroying my political character, if r.o more. That uch a combination exists and has existed for some time, I pledge myself to my fellow citizens to make appear in due time, and at a more proper season than is selected to attack me. Just at the eve of the election, alter vaiious solicitations and attempts at airanement since February Lit, among a certain number of uent'tmen to whom the secret was to have been confided, with regard to who could he g it out as a candidate most likely to out poll me; and alter consenting anil thn declinit g to become candidates ami after becoming candidates and withdrawing from the list, thev have competed their arrangements a little more thin a month previous to the election : a part of which plan appears thr.-ugh the columns of the hlcm paper, leaving scarce! v time for a reply to reach the dill'erent portions of the District, at:d much less the different parts f the St.ite. I ak my telle rv cdi.ens if in all these things there were no arrangement, no little caucuses in the rounds of the Circuit Courts, arid whether all this exertion was purely to promote the putdic ig o u i i ? The ouestio'.is which ar". rut to me for

answers, are connected vitii transactions, I 11 t ti I

so t.c oi wipcn iranip'.reu nearly twelve vears ago, and all except thre-' of them have been passed upon by my fellow citizens bylarge majorities in my favor. Those questior.s are framed with all the ingenuity of a lawTer, in order to give the public as unfavorable views of the subjects to which they refer as possible, ami would require pages to atl'ird the people a fair and full view of the factsandcitcunistanc.es. Hut notwithstanding my present diud vantage I am required to reply to'them: that reply must therefore be hastily done, or my answers will not reach many to whom this insidious attack w ill be carried. The fir.t question is inid:t:u?', inasmuch as it is, and has been u-.ua! to deposit public monies that were not required tor immediate use, arid if 1 hatl kept the money in my private posses-don these same characters would have charged me with specu lating on it, or something wor'c. It the Male should sustain a lo-s, which I do not as yet admit, (as the St ate has lately obtained a judgment on a f;o Warranto against the Hank) am I more to be censured than the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, who hatl at that same time a deposit in the same Hank of tw o hundred thousand dollars, and not (trie word heard against that high officer? I used every diligence in that trust, ami when that deposit was made, not only was the State indebted to lh; Hank near ly 50,000 dollars, but the notes of the Hank were Land Office money, ami the Hauk was a bank of deposit for the U. Stales. The next, regard-Vth pre cmption given by Congress to Cannatlian Refugees. To their obtaining their pick and choice of lands either in this state or any other and to their obtaining lands in any way, except by the mode of purcnasing a3 others, 1 vv.s oppose. i, antl no man can with trufh speak a tlilltirent language; antl if I as a Delegate, hail not been denied the right of voting in the (louse, the charge could not be made. The question with regard to the Tippecanoe campaign, speaks the same feelings, an-d is directed to the same objects with regard to me, which at that time were entertained antl exerted by the slave party, and h untrue in pwint of fact, i had my opinions with regard to the cir cumstances which brought about the campaign, and those I still entertain. Who in this state ha done mere than myself fur the widows and orphans of

(hose who fell in that battle? hut these patriotic writers tell you of no such facts. With regard to tiring the temporary eat of government, it will be recollected tia. it was done by ballot Hefore the ballot was taken I was asked by a member from Harrison county, whether I hatl any particular interest as tti where the temporary seat should be fixed: My reply was that I had not, except as it regarded the County of Clark, which I in part represented, i then consented to decline ballo'in, exc p for Clark County, upon the agreement oi others. I was afterwards called on to vorc. when I rose antl statetl the cii cumstances; t?p- n which, Judge Park, a member from Knox, moved that I should be excused from

otmg.

As to mv witholding a crmmi-sion from Mr. M'Farland, it mu-t he recoilec ed that

at the time of the first eiecMm of County

and Pownship officer under the State Gov

ernment, no authority hatl been given b

law to the county commissioners to hem

and decide contested elections. The elec. tion of Col t Parland (and o(heis) was

contested: am! from the circumstances, ami after consulting w-ih, ard upon the ad vie-

of a majority of he Supreme Court, ti e commissions were withheld for adjudica

tion. JOVVHI V JhNN.NGS.

To be concluded in our next.)

From a Yeic l'ork To per. JA'iug Cloth. To make good c'oth

farmers should be mere attentive to their sheep, hnd not sell their best lam s. Sheep hould never be yarded with ojher cattle: they should be kept in good flesh, that the

wool may be lively; and fed in a r.;ck so

constructed that thf seed and chad' cannot fad from the hay into the wool, for the.e

essentially irjure it. After sheep are wah

ed thev shouitl not he shorn in less thnn six days, that the animal oil may hiw time to

penetrate the pores -i toe woo ; this oil

preserves the wool alive, and keeps it plia

ble. In this country, suitable attention h ; not been paid to the storing of wool. In

hurnpean manufactories, t:ie fl-ece is divi

ded into three or four sorts, f om fine to coarse in the same piece, the cloth cannot be drcs.-ed handsome nor do ha-f tiie serrice it wctjltl otherwise do. All coarse

ends shouitl be cutoff; if they tre spun ami

wove into cloth, no colour c::n he impressed

on it, fine and coar-e wool will not equally receive any colour. After v;i:: is sort

ed, it should be carfully pulled apart, and all the nubs taken out. Let one person

spin the wool, that the yarn may be qual

ly wrought: the tilling should be p,un cross handed. L"t the wool he kept clean from

dirt or lint whit:; spinning, and cleanse the

yarn before it is wove; avtod 0ld hirness

in weaving, foi their lint. ccc. essentially

iijore the cloth. Re careful to heat q ial -Iv, for if on? oart of the skein he heat closer

than toe other, the cloth will be cockled; to av id this, it wetiltl be well aiso to weave each skein by itself, make a mod selvage, ami trim rs vou weave. It all knots are not cut off with the shears before the cloth is fulled, they are ticked out wit?: tweeters

by the clothiers, leaving hoL-j in the cloth,

" When cloth is made in conformity to these directions, there is no danger cl its working bad in the mill; it will not cockle but be dressed neatly. If a rumher of ham's be employed in spinning a piece, you may expect the cloth will rockt in the mill, and such can never bediessed to appear decently. Some people who proceed in this manner, complain of the clothier, because their cloth tloes not answer the i f expectation. If wool be not properly sorted, spun antl wove, it is impossiole lor any clothier to dress it even deceotlv, 'People wouM do well to m'ike their cloth earlier in the season than usual. Sep and Oct. are the months for dressing doth. It is much better to be dressed in warm weather than in cold.

State rrison. Kxfract of a letfer dated Philadelphia, May 1, 1BCC. "Thev are laying the foundation of a new State Prison in the vicinity of Philadelphia, upon an expensive plan, hut I think a very excel lent one. I have not yet visited it, hut am informed the plan is to enclose ten acres of ground with a high ami strong stone v.:!l, as a general prison van'. T:.is enclosure is to be subdivided by high wails into as many geparate enclosur cs as they have pr isoners Kadi separate enclosure is to have a cell for tore person only. So that the prisoners are to be kept entirely seoar.Ve, to see no peis n but their keeper, lrom the day they jo in till the day they come out, and yet to he kept continually at hard labar. It is believed this arrangement will answer every purpose of solitary confinement, and still the public derive as much benefit from their labor, a would be derived if they were allowed to work together in the usual way. It must, however, necessarily follow, that the expenses for keepers and overseers will be greater than it is in common prisons; yet I think the advantaged in a moral point of view, that will he derived from keeping the prisoners separate, will more than compensate the public for the extra expense incurred.'
