Indiana Palladium, Volume 4, Number 52, Lawrenceburg, Dearborn County, 3 January 1829 — Page 3
LAURBNCEBURGH. SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1829. After wishing our readers a happy Christmas and pleasant New Year, we would inform them that this No. 52, completes the 4lh volume of the Palladium.
On this occasion it might perhaps be ex
pected that we would make an expose of our business; tell how many are delinquent, and give them some hard rubs for their negligence: we shall do neither. There is little to be gained by bragging, or telling a bad story ; and full as little by scolding those who are deaf or won't hear. Those indebted and are able we expect will pay us in a reasonable t'me; those who do not, we know how to manage; and those who are not able must be indulged. Those who have paid punc. tuallyare entitled to our thanks; those -who may pay shortly shall be thanked in due time ; and those who never intend to pay, we would thank to take their names off our subscription list. It will be recollected that some time since we published some remarks of Mr. Hendricks on the subject of the public lands, proposing their relinquishment to the slates in which they lie in full property. On our first page to-day will be found a speech of Mr. Noble, on the same subject, but opposed to Mr. Hendricks' proposition, Next week we shall give the views (four legislature on this important matter. We are pleased to see that a reselu1ion has hern adopted, on motion of Mr. Pollock of this county, requesting the
Judiciary committee to inquire into the expediency of making provisions for
more certain return of the votes for Governor, Lieut. Governor and members of Congress; and making it the du
ty of the public printer to publish them so soon as received.
then the law is gtfod arid no change neces-j
sary. There was a time when the situation of the state treasury, demanded great economy in the public expenditures when the state was in debt, and her citizens illy able to bear the burden of taxation for the support of government. But
that time has gone by. The state is out of
debt, and there is a surplus in the treasury over the current expenditures. The time is propitious, and we hope the legislature will make such changes and
amendments in theaffiirs of the state, as shall meet the wants of the people, leav
ing it to the miser to calculate their va-i lue in dollars and cent. That system of economy which niggardly withholds the really necessary conveniences of life, whether private or public, is not the kind for our liking. Were we to lay down a system, by which the l gMaiure should be guided, il would be this: Meet early and adjourn late make short speeches, and those to the purpose paes the necessary laws as fust as possible, and return home. Were legislators f. pav more attention tn these rules, we are much inclined to think the public treasury would tell fully as well, and the people have better laws.
at this session. Hercc it may be infer-
ied,that little new business will be hnally acted upon, at this short session, except to pass the annual appropriation bills. However I hope we shall be able to do something beneficially on several sub
jects of direct interest to our state.
Judging from the vote on the consideration of several resolutions directing an inquiry into the expediency of modifying the tariff of last session, and of repealing some of its provisions, there is little or no disposition on the part of this House to re-examine that subject, until we have an opportunity of testing the wisdom ot the lote enactments, by their operation on the different interests, of the country.
It is confidently believed by us who are
tnendly to a projecting tan!!, that we have nothing to ft -r from the general effects of the tariff of hist session, but every thing to expect, in promoting the
general prosperity of the country. It is probable a new territory, to be called Huron, will be creaied, as that
Kentucky Legislature.- A bill has passed the House of Representatives, to incorporate a company to build abridge oyer the Ohio at the falls. The bill to prevent the importation of slaves into the state for speculation, has been rejected.
A member, writing to the editor of
the Kentucky Statesman, says that a Hengthy report has been made to the house on the subject of internal improvements; but smiles at the project, seeing the state treasury is $35,000 in debt. A further time of two years ha9 been given the Louisville and Portland canal company, to complete the work at the falls.
We acknowledge the receipt of a number of public documents from Mr. Smith, member to Congress, from this district, and from Messrs. Dunn and St. Chiir, members of the Legislature ; for which they will please accept our thanks.
We fear the legislature will again adjourn without accomplishing any increase in the terms of the circuit courts. The difficulty of settling the details of a bill, and the fear of incurring the displea
sure of constituents, by an increase of cir
cuits, terms and, consequently, expenses, aeem to work together to defeat any revision of the law regulating circuits and fixing the times of holding courts. We have long been of opinion that two terms a year, particularly in old counties, were too little, and that the law on that subject very loosely complied with the requisitions of the constitution. That instrument, which should be held sacred and inviolate, says: that "courts shall be open," so that persons injured in "lands, goods, person, or reputation shall have remedy," and "right and justice adminis
tered without denial or delay." We should like to hear some member explain
in what manner, under the present law,
va person injured in "lands, goods," &c.
can have justice "without denial or de
lay." If it be justice without delay to
keep an honest man out of his hard earn
i ngs 1 8 or 24 months after it is due, then
the law agrees with the constitution. Ifl
it be speedy justice to confine a poor fel
low in jail 5 or G month awaiting a trial,
More impositions It would seem from the following a: tide, which is extracted from the Madison paper, that this is not the onlv neighbor, ood on which the verj honest and fair dealing gentlemen, who control the Kenhaua Salt trade, have imposed an invidious tax. Tiie writer suggests that, by a little exertion, salt can be. had at an equal if w t a less rate than of the Kenhawa company; and recommends to the citizens of Madison a meeting, to devise as and means to counteract the evil complained of. Salt. It cannot be unknown to most of our citizens, that about one or two years ago, a company was formed, that engrossed the t-aie of the Kenhawa salt. Until within two or three months past, this salt has been furnished us at 50 cent- per bushel, which i. the same price at which it fold at Cincinnati, Louisville and other places. But late this fall the very season when most would be required, and when it had become
almost impossible to look toother sources for a supply, the company raised the price in this market from 50 to G2 -(2
cents per bushel. If the article could
not be afforded for less than G2 1-2 cents per bushel, we would have no reason to
complain; but the fact that previous to
the formation of this company salt was
usually sctling at irom 35 to 40 cents,
clearly proves that 50 cents per bushel
must yield a handsome proht a profit!
LAW CF INDIANA A Copy of a Law of Indiana, entitled "Ad art to revive tbe act, entitled an act to aroend the act, entitled an act, for the benefit of those penona who have, or are likely to
euff r, by the destruction of the records of
Dearborn County, which were consumed, by fire, in tbe Court House, at Lawrenceburgh, on the morning of the sixth of March 1826, approved, January 1Kb 18-7.' Sec. 1. Re il enacted by the general assembly of the State of Indiana, That the act to amend the act, entitled an act for
the benefit of those persons who have,
or are likely to suffer, by the destruc
tion of the records of Dearborn County,
which were consumed, by fire, in the
Coun HouseJ at Lawrenceburgh on the
morning of sixth of march 1826, approved January 11, 1827, adopted for one
year, be, and the same is, hereby revi
ved, and continued in force forthe period
ot two years.
Sec. 2. That the said Commission
er, therein named, shall meet on the
bill ha-i already passed through a com-first Monday in March, May, September, mittee of the whole House without se-. December, and February, and continue
nous opposition. A bill is among the orders to provide
fir the permanent repair of the Cumber-!
land Road, and for keeping the same in repair, by erecting toll gates and collecting tolls sufficient to keep the road in repair. It is probable this bill will be ' ontested on the ground of its supposed unconstitutionality, yet it is to be hoped it will paes. The amendment proposed to be made to the constitution, is now under discussion, and is likely to prove c fruitful subject for a lalitudean debate. I think it very important that the constitution should be so amended as to render the president elect in all cases, int ligi'ole to a re-election; and to render nembers of Congress, who vote for a president in the H'Ue, ineligible to hold any office, the nomination or appointment to which, is vested in such president, My reasons would make this let:r ton prolix. Many subjects of importance to our state have been referred to the different rommi'tees, the result of which will form natter for a Circular at the close of the -essioi1, wnieh I anticipate having the pleasure to dirrr to my constituents. Respectfully yours O. H. SMITH.
