LAWEENCEBURGH. SATURDAY, JAN. IG. 1830. Since our last there has been a rise of several feet in the Ohio river; it is now in good order for navigation,tho' not high enough on the falls to admit the passage of steam boats. Circumstances beyond our control prevent the publication of the proceedings to-day, promised in. our last. We learn verbally (for we have had no mail this week from Indianapolis) that the legislature has fixed upon Madison as the point of termination for the Michigan road, on the Ohio river. Greensburgh has been made a point in location, which puts the road on as fair a direc tion for this place, as could well be expected. It now remains for our citizens to do their part, and all will be well. Public meeting, A respectable meeting of the citizens of this place, was held at Mr. Hunt's Hotel on Monday evening last, to take into considerntion the propriety of organizing the corporation officers, and to devise ways and means for the better regulation of our police, and for the improvement of the streets and landing. Thomas Palmer, esq. was called to the chair, and Major J. P, Dunn, appointed secretary. The meeting, after passing sundry resolutions, one of which contemplates the removing of the earth on the space fronting the river, between Short and Walnut streets, and grading and paving the same to the water's edge, adjourned, to meet at the same place this evening. Since the meeting was held, we have seen a subscription paper, handed round among our citizens for the purpose ot raising funds to make the improvement at our landing, as noticed above, on which we counted upwards of tzco thousand dollars, and a number of the most enterprising hail not had an opportunit) of signing it. This tells well. It is thought that about $3000 will complete the work. The editor of the Brookville paper is at his old trade of finding fault, and trying to trump up something to harp upon to the discredit of the national administration. Cut unfortunately for him, he has got on the wrong scent to make much in the chase. He complains wonderfully at the manner in which the president message has been distributed through the Union, and thinks it out of all character to carry the message in five days from Washington city to New Orleans! He never heard of such riding in all New England! But the woFst of it is, the carrying of the message with such expedition, cost the people he supposes 15 er 20,000 dollars. Now we can tell his reverence that he lies under a great mistake in this supposition; which should be a cau4: u '. m - it i a nun iu uiiu nut iu suppuae ujiijs auuui which he is altogether ignorant. The expresses conveying the President's mes sage did not cost the government one cent, as will be seen by the following from the Post master general. CIRCULAR TO CONTRACTORS. Post office department, JVbv. 21, 1829. Sir: Arrangements having been voluntarily made by the several Contractors on the routes from this loN. Orleans, to carry the President's Message at the opening of the' next congress, by the most rapid express, so as to reach New Orleans in five day?, and without expense to the Department. Will such arrangements be made between this and ? Jl would be gratifying in the highest degree, if done: and should the generous p rotter of the Contractors at the South be made also by those on the leading routes in other direction?, it will demonstrate to the whole what can be dune by men whose energy knows no ion have no bounds. Please answer me on this subject. Very Respectfully, . i our Ubt. oervf. W.T.BARRY.

The pompous editor of that delectable concern mis-named the 'Agiiculluralist,' of Brookville, has been very industrious of late throwing filth and nastiness about him, to the annoyance, no doubt, of many of his subscribers. But like the savoury liquid sent forth by a certain little animal, that shall be nameless, the greater part of the perfuming preparation has fallen upon the back of poor i Ebony1 himself. That portion iktecded or us, we can assure him has fallen short of its mailt, and 'spent its fragrance on the desert air.' We shall not attempt to reply to the many vulgarisms and abusive epithets, contained in his luminous reply, as he calls it, to the article inserted in this paper some time since. It will suffice our purpose to support what we have said of the editor, which is, in our opinion, much less than could be said of him in truth. The fact is, there is no man within the scope of our acquaintance, who has any pretentions to religion, morality, or patriotism, that stands on such questionable ground as the aforesaid editor. Where.

we would ask, are we to look for his examples of meekness of truth of integrity of love of country and its institu tions? Not, we hope, to the columns of the Agriculturalist, teeming with virulence arid misrepresentation, and sending forth vollies of putid slang against the president, his measures, or some one of his cabinet. If this be Christianity, if this be morality, it this be patriotism, then have our fathers been grovelling in gross darkness, and we, their sons, are slow in seeing the light. The article contained in our paper, which has so irritated the spunky nature of the Brookville editor, merely stated that he had sold his press; that he had been a warm and staunch friend of the late administration; and that, after fighting through a hot campaign, he was ti last forced by necessity to give over. This simple statement (every word of which is well known to be true,) he has tortured into an hundred assertions; many of which are unwarranted, and owe their origin wholly to the fruitful imagination of the editor himself. For the purpose of undeceiving the public, we will notice one of them, in which he attempts to produce the belief that our remarks were intended as an insult to the friends of the late administration. We take this occasion to say that sach was not our intention, nor is such a conclusion authorized by our article headed 'backing out.' Our remarks were directed to the editor, and him only. We should indeed be sorry to do the friends of the late administration the injustice to couple them with a man as despotic in principle and desperate in practice as we believe the editor of the Agriculturalist to be. Besides we know they have denounced him as unworthy of their friendship and undeserving of their support in a language and manner, which none but the most ignorant could have misunderstoodi Yet, notwithstanding all this, we still see him clinging to them with a tenacity of grasp resisting every effort to unloose. We will now close by stating the editor's account against the late administration, for services rendered, &c. which it is understood he requires to be settled, as the only condition on which he will relinquish his claims to dictatorship.

milfee on education, to whom was referred a resolution of this House directing them to inquire into the expediency of passing a law directing an equal distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the sixteenth section, given for the purpose of supporting schools in the several townships in this state; also two several resolutions relating to so much of the governors message as refers to the civil code, and so much of said message as refers to habitual drunkenness and titles, have hnd the same under their consideration, and deem it expedient to legislate on those several subjects at this time. Dec. 19. Mr. Bassett offered the following resolution. Resolved, That the committee on the affairs of the town of Indianapolis, be instructed to inquire into the expediency of appropriating the House erected for the Governor of this state to the citizens

of Marion county for their use as a coun try Seminary. Mr. Kinnard move'd to amend said re solution by striking out the word "ap propriating" and inserting the word "selling," which motion was determined in the negative ; and the question on the adoption of the resolution was also determined in the negative. Dec. 22. Mr. Armstrong offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the Judiciary committee be instructed to inquire into the Justice and propriety of reporting to this House a bill exempting all revolutionary soldiers who now are or may hereafter become citizens of this state, from imprisonment tor debt. Amendments to the resolution were proposed by Mr. Wallace of J., and by Mr. Noble, both of which were negativ ed; and the question was taken on adopting the resolution,- and was determined in the affirmative by a large majority. The following resolution, offered by Mr. Pollock, was not adopted: Resolved, That the Judiciary committee be instructed to inquire into the expediency of repealing the 5th section of an k4act amendatory of tin law & for the better advancement of justice," approved January 20, 182C. Dec. 23.

On motion of Mr. Guion, Resolved, That the committee on military affairs, be instructed to inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill lo repeal all laws requiring company, battalion, or regimental musters, and to provide for the regular drilling of oflicers, and for the annual enrolment of the military strength of the state. Dec. 24. Mr. Rariden from the committee to whom had been referred a resolution requesting them to inquire into the expediency of repealing the first section of the act for the formation of con. gressional districts, and for the election of senators and representatives to congress, approved January 19, 1829, reported that the committee deemed the repeal of said section inexpedient. The section of the act proposed to be repealed, postponed the election of re-i presentatives to the 22d congress till the first Monday in August, 1831. Mr. Smith moved to Jay the report on the table; which motion was decided in the negative. The question then recurred on concurring in said report, and the ayes and noes having been called, the vote stood as follows: Ayes Messrs.

Mr. Moore's Address to the President of th is Council of Government, upon delivering his credential letter, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United Stales, to Columbia. Mr. President: Permit me, on this oc casion, lo assure you and the members of the council of Government, that I enter upon the performance of the duties of the station assigned me by the Govern ment ot the United States, with an unfeigned distrust of my capacity to discharge them satisfactorily; which distrust is much enhanced by the fact of my succeeding the distinguished gentleman, (Gen. Harrison,) who has just addessfid you. But I beg you, Mr. President, and the honourable members of the Council, to receive my assurance, that while act

ing in the capacity of Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to the republic of Columbia, I shall not safifrr am opportunity to escape me of sustaining and perpetuating the friendly Sc cordial

relatious which should subsist between the two republics, and of mantaining unimpaired the harmony of intei course which must be eminently desirable to both countries. The neonle o f iIir United States have

contemplated itb anxious .olidtudJ&DHm A&SE&BASJ,

the sanguinarv and protracted conilict in which the Republic of Columbia has been engaged. They have seen her emerge from that conflict, and from all the horrors and desolations of a civil war, triumphant and independent, and prepared to assume her fetation ultimately among the nations of the earth; and they fervently hope that her glorious efforts may be crowned with all the blessings of civil liberty. Assured from their own experience, that all nations are capable of self-government. They have entertain ed sanguine hopes that the Republics ot South America will present to the world additional exemplifications of this great and interesting truth. And in the lofty character, and tried integrity, and ardent patriotism of the distinguished chief, now presiding over the destinies of Colombia, they tiust will be found a guarantee for the fulfilment of their expectations. But, while communicating the hopes and the wishes of the people of the United States, it is my duty to declare, as instructed by the illustrious and venerable patriot, recently called by them to perform the duties of Chief Magistrate, that, though sincerely desirous that the people of Colombia in organizing their Government, may be influenced by the example that may be found in their system of organic law, and that they will most sedulously abstain from any interference, either direct or indirect, with the internal policy and concerns of this Government. That which they ask ol all nations, they most willingly accord to all, the undisturbed enjoyment of their own opinions, and their own political institutions. Be pleased, Mr. President, to receive again, my assurances that, while acting in the capacity of Minister from the United States at this capitol, nothing shall be omitted, on my part compatible with the duties appertaining to the station which I occupy, calculated to preserve and perpetuate a friendly intercourse between the republic which I have the honor to represent, and the Republic of Columbia. "Conspiracy" a law case. A trial of journeymen shoemakers has lately taken place in trankhn county, Pennsylvania, on a charge of conspiracy. The testimony adduced established the facts that there was a society existing in the county, which, by its nnmbers, had given great vexation during the last summer, (to their employers) had attempted to raise their wages, had compelled their employers to fix on a bill of prices, from which none dare vary; that they compelled their employers to agree that they would employ no one who was not a member; that they attempted to prevent them from giving work to persons living in the county; that they drove from town a person who had been a member, but who deserted them; that the society corresponds with similar societies in Pittsburgh and other places, and that such societies existed in most of the towns. The jury found the men guilty, and the court fined them in the mitigated penalty cf 10 far one and 5 for the other.VM w W Sierra Eeone.
