Indiana Palladium, Volume 5, Number 36, Lawrenceburg, Dearborn County, 12 September 1829 — Page 3

LAWRENCE BURGH. SATURDAY, SEPT. 12, 1829. The partnership heretofore existing between the undersigned, editors and proprietors of the 'Indiana Palladium? has this day been dissolved by mutual consent. The printing establishment will in future be conducted by D. V. Culley. To facilitate the adjustment cf the debts due the late firm, the accounts will be made out to include the current year or present volume of the paper, and payable to either. M. GREGG D. V. CULLEY. Sept. 7, 1829. VALEDICTORY. Continued ill health, and the frequent admonitions of my physician, have induced me to retire from the editorial department of this paper. However, much I may regret the necessity which impels me to this course, the precepts of religion teach me to bow, with humble submission, to the dispensation of Him, whose ways are just, whose will is Jaw, whose laws are equitable. In taking leave of those with whom I have been associated for near five years, in the character of apolitical monitor, I cannot, as is usual on such occasion?, console myself and my reader?, with the reflection that he, to whom I resign my editorial charge, is better euiUd than myself to do justice to the wishes and feelings of those who constitute the patrons of the Palladium. I make this remark, because I recognise upon the list of subscribers, a proportion of more than two-thirds, who are oppospd to him in politics; who, with me, steadily adhered to and supported, the wise and virtuous administration of our late worthy chief magistiate; and who as steadily opposed the pretentionsand now disapprove the measures of him, who nominally wields the sceptre of government. It is not my wish to disparage the talents of Mr. Culley they are respectable, and I think fully competent to the task but I fear they will be diverted into a channel which illy comports with the known sentiments of tho6e who are, and have been, our best supporters. He promises, however, to pursue, as heretofore, a liberal course; and so long as he shall continue to do 8o,I venture to ask for him a continuance of public favor. ! Did health permitI would not forego the present opportunity, without dwelling at large upon the present condition and future prospects of our political affairs; for truly, 1 believe the times are portentious of evil. But as my interest in this establishment does not entirely cease until the close of the present volume, I may then avail myself of the occasion to enter more fully upon this subject. With my best wishes for the health and prosperity of those who have tupported me through evil as well as good report, I retire for the present ; but I may perhaps, should life and health permit, resume the editorial tak, ere the termination of the present administration. Respectfullv, M. GREGG To the patrons of the Palladium. By the withdrawal of Mr. Gugg, as co-editor of this paper, the duties of that Station will hereafter devolve wholly upon myself, la entering upon their discharge, custom, as well as propriety, requires that I should make some formal declaration, not of zcar, but of the manner in which I shall endeavor to conduct the Palladium. The task of managing a press properly, and to the satisfaction of the public, I am well aware is difficult and arduous. The most talented, the most capable men in our country, who have attempted it, will attest this fact. Conflicting interests, and party preferences among men, are the shoals and quicksands to be dreaded on taking hold of the helm. That I shall be able to ttear clear of these and sail smvothly before the wind,expe nence causes me to doubt. I enter, however, on the voyage with spirits bov ant and elastic, cheered by the parting desire of my late coadjutor, that his old friends with whom he outfitted the storms of five seasons, and who are, by enlistment I presume, to compose the greater part of my crew will lend a helping hand, and be aiding and assist jner me inuienrai "cnannei. ' l nis is kind; and, perhaps ought to call forth the warmest expression of thanks. But as I am a person of blunt manner, & little gifted with the honey of compliment, I shall not attempt it. To abandon the nautical, and take a land tack. My political preferences in the late contest for president, are well known, and seem to afford ground for doubting my capacity to conduct the editorial department of this paper, with hoor to myself, and satisfaction to the pub-

lie. The intimation rs altogether unnecessary and unwarranted. The readers of the Palladium have not forgotten, that for the term of 9 or 10 months, at one time, the paper was altogether, so far as related to editor, under my control. The moderation and propriety with which it was conducted during that pe

riod, presage little of an abandonment of these virtues now, when 1 have had more experience, and been enlightened by one of the best of preceptors. The temptation to draw from me this tribute of respect for my late colleague, is irresistible. As actions speak louder than words, I shall not promise much in advance. My talents, I am frank to admit, are moderate ; much below what I could wish to bring into the service of my readers. Bui hope by as$iduitv, attention, and a mind wholly devoted to my duties, to compensate for the lack of great and brilliant acquirements. On the great leading subject of politics. I profess, so far as I am capable of understanding the term, to be a republican. Firmly attached to the best interests of the government, I shall aim, in the discharge of my duties, to give to those whom the people have delegated to attend to their affairs, my feeble but earnest support; so far as I can do so without compromising the high character of a faithful sentinel on the political watchtower. In the language of John Randolph, I hope ever to be found faithful on the side of the stock-holders, in oppo sition, it it be necessary, to president, cashier, and directors, or, in other words, with the people, with whom I am connected in one common interest, and from whom I hope to draw my support. Should an indulgent Providence continue to bless me with health, I doubt not that I shall be able to render the Palladium useful and interesting to the farmer, the niHchanii, and all other classes of citizens in society, not forgetting he fair and lovely portion of my readers. The wily little gwd, whose phantom form obtrudes its. -11 upon the midnight reveries of slnrnherir.g beauty, and whose power is acknowledged by the stoutest heart among Uf, shall always have a spare corner for the propagation of his doctrines. The miscellaneous department will, therefore, claim no little portion of my attention. With my best wishes for your health and happiness, I conclude. D. V. CULLEY. Natchez Mi. The Southern Galaxy of the 20th ult. represents the citizens of this city as enjoying the most perfect health, ootwithstanding the dreadful mortality which was then ragipg at New Orleans. Flour. This article has advanced a little in the Cincinnati market, owing to late accounts from New Orleans. We understand it commands 9 a barrel below; but no calculations ought to be made on its remaining at that price long. A few arrivals from the upper country will put it down. Wilson Creek bridge. We take pleasure in statit.g that this work, of so much importance to a portion of the county, is likely to be speedily completed. Messrs. Holliday and Guoyer, have taken the contract, and contemplate having the bridge finished about the middle or last of Oc tober. The point at which it is to be situated, is at or near the mouth of the creek, and to be secured in such a man her, as to resist tho water, which at cer tain times will cover it five or six feet. State Road. The commissioners appointed by the last legislature to survey and locate a state road running from this place to Rushville, have recently performed that duty. The distance from Rushville to Lawrenceburgh, by the route of the new road, is 53 miles 10 miles nearer than by Brookville, and the valley of Whitewater. The ground on which the new road is located, is represented, by Mr. MTike, one of the commissioners, as very favorable for the construction of a good highway there being no streams of importance on the route, and little wet or slashy land. The appropriation of 100 is supposed will cut the timber under a foot, and remove it and the brush on the whole line of the road. A further appropriation will be required to put it in good condi tion for travelling. The following letter, from gen. Hanna to Judge Manwaring, has been ' po litely furnished by the latter for publica tion. We take great pleasure in giving it a place in the Palladium, as we think the principles advanced by the General are in accordance with the spirit of republicanism. The liberality it dis plays is certainly creditable to the au-

fhor, and must discover to the people that the system of reform has more vis. ionary than real evil in it, even in the estimation of those oo whom it has been made to operate. Indianapolis, 20th Aug. 1S29. Solomon Manzvaring, Esq. Sir: The mail before the last brought me the information of my removal from the office of Register, and of the appointment of Arthur St. Clair, Esq. to succeed me. Apart from the chastisement which my removal indicates, I consider it right, because I have been in office long enough to satisfy any man not over much parsimonious. Besides, my dear sir, you recollect when we were associated together at the formation of our constitution, I took a firm stand against the doctrine of appointments duringgood behaviour. I was then a young man, without much experience, but further reflection and ri

per years, even now when my pecuniary interests are concerned, have not changed my mind on that subject. But I do think where appointments are limited in their duration, that incumbents ought to be permitted to serve out the time for which they are appointed. They ac cept the office with that expectation, and make their arranrements accordingly.

efo on me has lost its force. j I have been perplexed and disgjsted with the whining complaints of those who have been removed from cfllce. If their opinions were not worth the sacrifice, why ever entertain them? It is true that removals may operate with peculiar hardship on some, but the exanple will not be without its beneficial consequences. Every citizen should know some other means of procuring a livelihood than that of a public office, and those who have that lesson yet to learn, will now see the necessity of setting about it.

William F. Saul, esq. of New Orleans, cashier of the bank of New Orleans, put a period to his existence on the 5th inst. by shooting himself with a pistol. At the moment he committed the act, a committee of the board of directors was occupied in examining the quarterly ac

counts and counting the cash. On the table, in the direction, where he committed the suicide, a letter was found, addr ssed to the board, in which Mr. Saul stated himself to be a defaulter to i the bank in the sum of eight thousand dollars, aud that he had no means of paying it.
