SATURDAY, OCT. 4, 1828. The Circuit Court, for this county, will rnmmpnf.fi its session in the court! house in this place on Monday next, and will continue two weeks should business require. Election returns The Indianapolis Journal ofthe25lh ult. contains the returns for Congress in this State, so far as they have been received at the Secretary's office. For the 1st district they are complete, but not so for the 2 J and 3d ; though it is believed that those given below, for the 3d are correct. The number of votesfor Governor and Lieut. Governor will not be correctly ascertained until the legislature shall meet, and perhaps not then, should returns be still missing, as at present, from a number of counties. FIRST DISTRICT.

On the other side, the advance of flour is attributed to a settled conviction that Jackson will be elected, and the supposed impetus every branch of business will receive by such an event. All these sallies of invention do well enough to tickle the fancy, and advance the view? of the parties; but we have little faith in a realization of such good times by our farmers. The war in Europe, unless it becomes general, will

afford but little demand for American produce, owing to the vast supplies in those countries at the command of the contending parties; which will always have a preference over imported produce. And as to the election of Adams or Jackson, no reasonable calculation may be made on any permanent advance in the price of produce in consequence. The salubrity of our climate, the rich ness of our soil, and the ease with which abundance of grain can be raised, must always operate on the price of produce In our home markets. Below we publish a letter from Gen. Stapp to the editors, on the subject of some remarks we made in the Palladium some time since. The General &eems to think that, in the short notice we took of his speech made here before the election, we were mistaken, and attributes it to a want of a distinct recollection of what he said on that occasion. We distinctly recollect to have heard him say, that if the people of this county had no other objection to him than on account of his course on the Michigan road bill, they ought not to oppose him; and then went on to show, by arguments and the Journals, that while that bill was before the House of Representatives, he had done all in his power to have the question settled in a manner which he thought should have met the support of our representatives. lie la. oored to make this impression; and, in the course of his remarks, spoke of the representation, interested in the termination of the road in this direction, as having acted strangely against the propositions for such a decision. These observations of the General are no doubt recollected by almost every person who heard him make his speech. But Mr. Bassett seems to sav that the General would not agree to any proposition which did not contemplate taking I he road directly to Madison, without regard to other interests. How the General can make out his first position, that he acted on liberal grounds, and therefore ought not to have been opposed by the people of Dearborn, appears to us "passingly strange," admitting that he acted all for Madison and her interest. The matter, however, resolves itself to this: 4If the General's professions, made to our citizens before the election, were supported by his course on the Michigan road bill, then our remarks were substantially correct, for they show that he wished the question settled on a basis that would have secured the co - operation of the Dearborn and Jefferson interests: but if otherwise, and nnlv in. 7 7 J tended for electioneering purposes, then our deductions, being drawn from false premises, were incorrect. With the difference between Mr. Bassett and the General we have nothing to do, further than to defend our fl;, as a

power, against the assaults ofi has indicated to me, the course which-IL,n!ton; re (the town-crier having If , . . every independent man ouht to pursue.' Previously given public notice) a wretch igerents. If grappled with, we LudeJr fiimilar circumstances. 1in huma" -V of the name of Henry

Gentlemen. It was not until I saw the letter of Horace Bassett, published in your paper of the 23d of August last, that I observed the notice you had taken of my address to the citizens of Law renceburgh on the Monday preceding tne election. In reading Mr. Bassetfs letter, I came to the conclusion, that he had been mistaken in the report of the address; but on reading the yeport itself, I find that an inference can very rationally be drawn from it, that I had said in my address, that it was my earnest wish at the last session of the leds lature, to bring about a compromise of some two interests in the Michigan road, "but that the members from this county (Dearborn) very strangely acted against my propositions." In this particular you was mistaken. I did not say or hint in that address, that I

had made a proposition for a compro

mise of two interests. On the subject of the Michigan road, the substance of my remarks were as follows: ''that it was passingly strange, that such opposition should be arrayed against me, in consequence of the Michigan road, when I had done every thing in the power of man to do, toward settling that question last winter; and but for the vote of the representation on your route the matter would have been settled, and the termination of the road, m my opinion, would have been either at Madison or at Lawrenceburgh. I said "that your representatives had ork-lt-lfwl (kit rniir nAinf WHS f )l f np.irest, that your route was the best ground

I then remarked "that there were but two ways to settle this matter which w;' by appointing commissioners as I had proposed last winter, or by a compromise of two interests, and endeavored to show what interests might be compiomised. So fir as relates to the hints spoken of in your report, I am sure that no person could have understood me to have given any point a preference to the point at Madison. In taking down speeches in short hand errors are frequently committed; much more are persons liable to err who attempt to give the substance of an address from memory, which is frequently done, and no hard feelings should exist between the parties; it the reporter would correct the error on request; you will therefore bo so good as to correct the error in vour own way, so as it comports with the substance of this letter. Yours respectfully, Ml STAPP. Messrs. Gregg &: Cctllev. The Hon. JF. Jiaile, member from l Mississippi, has tendered to the govern or his resignation of a seat in Congress (or the balance of his time. The Woodville Republican, of the 6th ult. contains the following laconic and pointed address, signifying his determination: TO THE PEOPLE OF MISSISSIPPI.

FOR TIIE PALL A I! Fellow-Citizens, I noticed in the Palladium of the 20th Sent' a piece sign

ed "Alphonso." He says John Adams was a great man, and the lather ot Jonn Q. Adams; others say he was a bad man. I would ask what all this has to do with the present political question? I would that the dead mv'ht rest, and let the two candidates, Adams and Jackson, run up on their own merits. This Mr. Alphon so appears to be very uneasy about Mr Clav. 1 did not know that Mr. Clay was before the people as a candidate ; ams is the son of John Adams; why at last says let us reward him for his own merits; let us inquire what they have' ueenj ana see wnetnev itiey are nor sum--ieni ro insure mm our unlimited conni - dence and our cordial support, and then goes on by making a quotation from a .Is he not, like Alphonso, ashamed to ?lCn j his real name, and therefore signs a f:cli - prove John Q.

And, to conclude, I think such politicians as Alphonso and myself, had better turn their at teutioa to something mora advantageous to themselves and the coaiDuoitv. A Backwoodsman. The Tariff The British continue to manifest much sensibility in regard to our Tariff. Some of the public journals of that kingdom speak rather complainingly of his Majesty, for having in .his late speech omitted to take any notice of this subject. The Liverpool Mercurv. of the first of August, holds the followin g I a n g u a ge. E. Chreri . "The late American Tariff appears to us to be infinitely more important to England than any topic touched upon in the Royal Speech: and yet there is not even an allusion to it. Here we were disappointed, as we had hoped that our ministers would have told the Ameri cans, in the face of all the world, that if that Tariff is to be persisted in, England can, and will procure her Cotton and Tobacco from some other quarter. We have no doubt of the practicability of this kind of justifiable retaliation; and we hope next week to show that Cotton, equal to any that America yields, can be had cheaper than that now imported and nearer home into the bargain!!!
