JOHN QUINC V ADAMS. Washington December 4, 1S27.

LAWRENCEBURGH,

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1827.

Of the six mails due at this office on Thursday last, but two (one western and one eastern) were received. These failures have cut short the sources of information from the State and National Councils. From Inianapcli9 we have had no legislative proceedings in advance of those published list week; and from Washington City very little, save the President's Message, which almost filled the mail, to the exclusion of all newspapers except one or two dated several days posterior to tbe com ai en cement of the session. Wrc however have been favored with a perusal of a Cincinnati paper, (brought by a genMeman on a steam boat,) by which we learn that Mr Andrew Stevenson, of Va. has been elected to the honorable station

(o such part thereof, and do more, as shall have

accrued from the sum or sums of money arising from the sale of the school lands beloogiog

to such township or district.

Sec. 2. And be il further enacted, That,

if (be proceeds accruing to any township or

district, from said fund shall be insufficient for tbe support of schools therein, it shall be

lawful for said Legislature to invest (he same, as is hereinbefore directed, until the whole proceeds of the funds belonging to such township or district shall be adequate to the permanent ,

maintenance and support of schools within the same. Mr. Noble said, on asking leave to introduce the foregoing bill, that, on yesterday, in giving the notice, he observed that, on this day , he would be more explanatory. He now held in his hand a joint resolution on the subject of the School Lands

in the State of Indiana, passed by the Legislature of that State at their last

?ession, requesting the passage of an act of congress, extending to the Legislature

the same right and authority, under sim

ilar restrictions, to convey, in fee simple.

all or any part of the lands heretofore

reserved and appropriated by Congress,

for the life of Schools witluu that State,

as had been given to the Legislature of

Ohio, by an act of Congress, of hrs r ebruary, 1826. The resolution reached Washington near the close of the last session of Congress, was read, and laid on the table February 27th, about four days before the adjournment: consequently, for the want of time, it was not acted upon. The Legislature of that State is now in session, and their meeting of the same date with the present session of Congress. The hill he now

which he had given to the Constitution. Believing that it was the intention of Mr.

Macon, that I should communicate this

observation to Mr. Clay, and knowing

the pleasure that it would give to the latter to find that he still possessed the esteem of his old friend and associate, I did not fail to mention this also to Mr. Clay. W. H. HARRISON.

JACKSOX MEETIjYG. a meeting: of the citizens of the

tf Speaker, by a msjoiitv often over Mr. John

V. Taylor, of N. Y. The votes were-for offered was a transcript of the act of

Ssevensou 101; Taylor 94; Barbour 4; and scattering 4 Seven members absent. From the result of this election and the subsequent passage of a resolution by tbe Senate by a vote of 25 to 19, declaring Duff Green, editor (be U. S. Telegraph, printer to that

body, the Jackson party claim , a majority of

SO in the lower House and 2 or S in the Sunate. 1'his calculation however may vary several votes from the real force of the parties, but not so much, it is presumed, as (o al'er tbe general result, in either bouse, on any question where tbe strength of parties may be tried.

By the last mail we received (he 5-2d number of the 'Switzerland Guest,' containing the vale.

dictory address of tbe editors to their patrons. It is a siDgular production, evidently written

in the paroxysms of good and ill humor; the lat

ter of which we are led to believe must have been (he most predominant. For one year ending with this number, tbeir receipts, including produce, did not exceed $100, which must have fallen short of the expenses fjr paper and ink. If this statement is correct, and we have no reason to doubt it, the editors must have had Lard times and plenty of bad dinners, during

the existence of the Guest, on tbe demise of

which they have very fraternally written the following 'OBITUARY;' The Switzerland Guest is dead!! This day the Guest breathed its last. It was born in adversity in a state of poverty. It

labored for the space of a whole year under oppression and afflictions endeavoring to show, at least, some sorry testi-

monyfof life; but worn to the bone by want, and the climate being loo insalubrious, and the soil too sterile, the palsied hand of death, this day put an end to its short but useful and valuable life. The Guest was highly useful in society and highly prized by the intelligent und virtuous; but, alas! this number being so fcmall, were unable to sustain it, and it quietly sleeps with its fathers, and scarce a sigh or a groan is heard, and not a fear is seen foseal down he manly visage of any of is friends. Being be

lievers in he ransmufaJion of hings, we

have the confiderhope of seeing it rise

much improved and renovaed under a new name, and in a more wholesome

dimae, Sz. where it will find friends able

and willing to susain Us existence. In Congress. On the Gth inst. Mr. Noble introduced in the Senate of the U. States the following bill; which was read and ordered to a second reading: A BILL to authorizo tbe Legislature of tbe State of Indiana to 6ell the Lands heretofore appropriated for tbe ace of Schools in that State. Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and

Hotite of Representatives of the United States of I

Jfpierica in Congress assembled, That tbe Legislature of tbe State of Indiana shall be, and is hereby authorized (o sell and convey, in fee simple, all, or any part, of the lands heretofore reserved and appropriated by Congress for the use of Schools within said State, and to invest the money arising from the sale thereof, in some productive fund, tbe proceeds of which shall be forever applied, under tbe direction of the

asid Legislature, for the use and support of,

Schools witnio the several townships and districts of coootry for which they were originally reserved and set apart, and' for no other use or purpose whatsoever: Provided, said land, or any part thereof shall in nocis be sold, with- ' out (he consent of (he inhabitants of such township or district, to be obtained in such manner as the Legislature of said State shall, by law, direct: And provided also. That, in the aportionmont of the proceeds of said fund, each iQABtU'ip and district aforesaid shall be entitled

Congress in relation to the School Lands

in Ohio, and upon which the resolution ef

the Legislature of Indiana is predicated. The object of the Legislature, in their resolution, is, to make certain, that which, with some, is uncertain the power of the Legislature to sell and convey the lands in question. It will he

the constant duty of the Legislature,and they ask no more, than to make the fund, arising from the 6ale of the lands,

the most productive for the purposes of

education, which was the original intention of the grant. Knowledge is power.

Without a speedy passage of the bill, the

Legislature of Indiana will adjourn, and

another year will expire before they can act, and additional waste upon the land will he the effect.

From the Sciota Gazette. ortii Bend, Nov. 4, 1827. A day or two before the nomination of Mr. Clay to the office of Secretary of State was acted on by the Senate, 1 was requested by that gentleman to move for

a committee of inquiry into his conduct,

in relation to the then recent election of

President, if any thing should occur in my opinion to make it necessary. Mr.

Clay repeated the application on the day

that the nomination was taken up by the Senate with great earnestnes?, and obtained my promise that I would comply

with hi3 request. From the position which I occupied in the Senate Chamber, being somewhat in the rear of that of Mr. Branch, I did not distinctly hear the greater part of his speech in opposition to the appointment. Fearing that I might have misunderstood him, and not wishing to rely entirely on my own judgment, in a matter in which another was

so materially concerned, I applied to Mr. Lloyd, of Mass. who sat near to and directly in front of Mr. Branch, to know whether in his opinion, any thing had been said by Mr. B. which would ren

der it proper to move for an inquiry.

Mr. Lloyd answered, that nothing had fallen from Mr. B. which would make a motion of that kind necessary; and the same opinion was expressed to me by at least one other Senator. I therefore gave up the idea of moving for an inves

tigation, The speech of Mr. Branch,

which was published by himself some time ago, is, I have no doubt as correct a statement as he could make of what he delivered to the Senate. But I must confess that, even at this timo, I can see nothing in it which would have induced

me to have adopted a different course.

It appears to me that I should neither

have consulted the public interest, nor

the honor of Mr. Clay, in calling for an

inquiry, when the accuser if accuser

he can be called declared that he had

no proof to offer, but what each member

of the Senate, and every one else pos

sessed.

On the day that the nomination was

acted on by the Senate or on the succeeding one, I informed Mr. Clay that nothing had passed in the Senate which made it necessary to move for the investigation which he had solicited. The assertion of the fact by Mr. Branch, is sufficient evidence to mc, that several of the Senators who voted with him against Mr. Clay's appointment, were governed by the same motives and feelings towards that gentleman which actuated him. Such was not the case, however, in relation to his collogue. ?or soon after the vote had been laken, Mr, Macon approached me and observed, that he had no been influenced in opposing Mr. Clay's appointment, by any diminution of his confidence in his integrity, but solely on the ground of the latitude of construction

county of Dearborti,held at the house of

Jesse Hunt in the town of Lawrenceburgh, on Saturday the loth day of December 1827, pursuant to public notice the meeting was organized by appointing John Porter, esq. President, and Thomas Miller, Vice President; Abel C. Pepper and Daniel Hagerman, Secretaries. The object of the meeting having been stated by the President, On motion , Col. Abel C. Pepper, Walter Armstrong, David V. Culley, Major

James W. Hunter and Arthur St. Clair,

esq. were appointed a Committee to

draft resolutions expressive of the sentiments of this meeting; who, having withdrawn for a short time, reported the following resoluJions which were unanimously adopted: 1. Resolved, That the citizens composing this meeting, in the exercise of their undoubted light to assemble and deliberate on subjects affecting the public interest, claim to be actuated b motives purely patriotic, and cheerfully render like consideration to the motives of such of their follow citizens as may differ with them in political opinion: Public men are responsible to the community for their public conduct, but private citizens are not responsible to each other for political preferences. 2. Resolved, That from the facts and circumstances connected with the last Presidential election, we have reason to believe the majority of the people of the United States were abused and their

rights disregarded in the appointment o(h

the present chief magistrate, by an intrigue successfully practised by him and his chief Secretary, in conjunction with a smalt minority of weak or corrupt members of Congress, in adhering to the letter, but, utterly regardless of the spirit of the constitution, and of every principle of republican government, setting at naught the expressed will of the people, from whom all legitimate authority properly emanates. 3. Resolved, That an administration thus formed, cannot be entitled to that respect and confidence that ought to subsist between the chief magistrate and a free people, and that it is our duly to embrace the first constitutional opportunity of discarding all such from office, to operate as a salutary lesson in future to all aspirants for office, and teach them that the will of the people, when fairly and constitutionally expressed, must and shall he attended to and to intriguers that however dark and cunning their management, it cannot escape detection amongst enlightened freemen. 4. Resolved, That we think it a safe

precedent to select occasionally from the

ranks ol the people, a man to till tne otfice of chief magistrate as being more likely to detect error or corruption, if such' should have crept into any department of our government, he having no concealments of his own to embarass

him, and having the feeling9 of one ofj

the people,and knowing their wishes and wants, 5. Resolved, That we most cordially concur with our fellow citizens, in the nomination of that incorruptible patriot

General ANDREW JACKSON of Tennessee. Such is our confidence in his

honesty, wisdom, talents, and integrity, (a Military Chieftain notwithstanding,)

that corruption, however disguised, dare

not approach him, or will soon receive

marching? orders, and that the tenor of

his administration will be such as to en

title him to the plaudit of "well done

good and faithful servant. G. Resolved, That we approve of a convention to be held at Indianapolis on

the 8th day of January next, and that

Arthur St. Clair esq. Col. John Spencer,

James T. Pollock esq. Mark M Cracken

esq. John Levingston esq. and Col. Dan

iel Hankins, be delegated to attend the

same in behalf of Dearborn county, for

the purpose of nominating an electoral ticket for the state of Indiana, in support

of General Jackson for President of the

United States; and that the sense of this

meeting is, that our distinguished fellow citizen John C. Calhoux be supported

for Vice President. And we pledge our

selves to vote for and support such ticket

as may be agreed on and recommended

by the said convention, by every fair

and honorable means in our power.
