LAWRENCE BURGH. 07" We have been requested by Rev. A. J. Cotton to say that he declines beiog a candidate for the legislature. .An article prepared by him on this subject will appear hereafter. OT Mr. A. St. C. Vance, esq. also desires as to say he is not a 'candidate for associate judge. 07 The mail stage on the route from this place to Indianapolis, commenced running on the 2d inst. It will leave bere regalarly on Wednesday mornings. For passage, apply at the post office. Gideon Tomlinson, the present governor of Connecticut, has been elected senator to congress, from this state, vice Calvin W iley, whose term expires on the 4ih of March next. Mr. Tomlinon was nominated to this station by the Jackson convention, and is understood to be friendly to the present administration. So we go the opinion of the opposition to the contrary notwithstanding. We learn from Washington city papers of the 27th ult., that the Senate have confirmed the nominations of John Randolph, of Va, as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the court of Russia A. E. Brown, of O;;io, as charge d'affiirs to Brazil and John llamm, of O iio, as charge d'nffiirs to Chili; and reconsidered and confirmed the nominations of Samuel JV Roberts as U.S. district attorney for Illinois, and Samuel Herrick as U. S. district attoifiey for CKiio. The nomination of M. M. Noah, rejected a short time since, had not been acted on. Ii most probabh has been coufirmed. Thus it is seen that the opposition hive exulted a little too soon even before they were "otfl of the woods." "We were really in hopes,5' says the Natclitz Galaxy, remarking on the renomination of president Jackson "that the worthy general would follow the republican example of his distinguished predecessor, and retire at the end of one term. Does the editor mean to quiz Mr. Adamsj or does he hold it to be republicanism to retire after being fairly beaten, as Mr. A. was, in an attempt to hold the chair eight yeaib? . We can't see much republicanism in the matter, but feel assured "that the worthy general" would show equally as much as Mr. Adams did, under similar circumstances. The present administration has made many republicans, if to retire from office, after receiving one's 'walking papers' confers the appellation. Mrs Biroey,it seem, would rather, however, hold ,to the federal side of the question. A very destructive fire occurred in Philadelphia on the night of the 19.h ult., on Water street above Ollowhill, in the lumber yard of K-ysor Sz G ra, and extending 80 feet back and 300 in front. The amount of property destroyed is not stated, but muat have been immense, as the fire raged with great fury from 11 o'clock until about daybreak. . Steam boats. The indefatigable Mr. Wu klitle, of Ky. has brought before congress, as a subject demanding legislation, a proposition to regulate Steam boats navigating the waters of the United States. A Washington paper says: .The bill proposed to congress on the subject of steamboats, requires that no boat shall be registered or licensed, unlessa skilfulengineer makes oath that it is properly and safely constructed in every respect, and shall testify how long the boilers have been in use; which certificate shall be posted in the cabins ofall boats. An inspection of the boilers shall be made every six months. and reported to the licensing officer. When a boat stops, a portion of the steam shall be allowed to escape, and the works kept in motion. 03" Michigan Road. We learn by letters from different gentlemen, that the commissioners appointed to locate the Michigan road, have decided on intersecting it with the Lawrenceburgh and Indianapolis state road at Napole- , on. This decision, made, no doubt, to get on the best ground, is very favorable to this place; indeed.terminatine where it does, we could not desire it more advantageously located. The road from this place to Napoleon, and even as far asGrpenshurgh, (35 miles.) i8 acknowledged, by all traveller- and others, with whom we have conversed, to be much

the kepi road leading from the Ohio river to Indianapolis in this section of the state; and by a little labor, which we hope will now be expended upon it, might be rendered an excellent one at all seasons. We see by the advertisement of Gen. N. Noble, the Commissioner appointed to superintend the opening of the road, thai a portion of it, on the line commencing at Madison, will be put under contract in July next.

FOR THE PALLADIUM. Mr. Editor. Through the medium of the "Western Statesman" the friends of the present worthy chief magistrate, have been ridiculed for their opposition to Henry Clay. It is asked, "why do the friends of pen. Jackson continue to proclaim that Mr. Clay is put down by the voice of the pet pie? He is not put down, and the triends of general Jackson know it; their opposition to him gives their own statement the lie; for if, indeed, he were put down, what need of furtheropposition? Why keep up so violent a struggle or warfare with a fallen foe?" It would seem that the Stattsman can see no difference between putting a man down, and keeping him down. But the friends of gen. Jackson think to put a man down is one thing, and keep him there is another. But they do not think to put a man down, always means to slay him. Admit that they say Mr. Clay is down, does it argue they give themselves the lie, merely because they use some exextion to keep him there? It is almost a wonder that the Statesman does not burlesque the psalmist David also, who after he had put the Philistine down, thought a little more exertionnecessaary to keep him down. If the Statesman had said that the friends of general Jackson had pronoutced Mr. Clay slain by the voice of the people, there would have been some seeming propriety in its remarks; hut so long as he continues to squerm and flounder about, they will look upon him as dozen but not slain. The Statesman seems to have been very unfortunate in the selection of terms; for, if a man who stands a poll for office and fails to be elected, is put down by the voice of the people, why, I would ask, is not Henry Clay put down, and that low too? He may rise again, but there is nothing for him but another put down. The Statesman,however, 'seems much flattered that he will entirely recover, and wishes him not to rise faster than gen. Jackson is falling!! Here is something new Under the sun, to talk of a man rising, if, indeed, he never was down! It looks to me as foolish to at tempt to raise a man who is not down, as it does to the Statesman to keep him down when he is down. But gen. Jackson is falling! Sage discovery! But why should he fall? The Statesman says, for n moving so many opponents fromoflice. Inimitable! But how did it happen that most of the offices were filled by warm partizans of Adams and Clay? Why not complain that Mr. Adams made th :sa appointments to serve a personal or political end? So long as they were feasting upon the loaves and fishes, all was well nay, perfectly right. But why did not the friends of gen. Jarkson complain? Because they did not wish Mr. Adams to appoint sworn enemies it were unreasonable to ask it. They were willing that he should appoint his friends, otherwise they could not have held him responsible. But there was no turning cut, cry the growlers. True; because his friends held all the offices & when vacancies did happen, none but suth were appointed. I would ask how did it look for Mr. Adams just as he was about to retire from office, to appoint violent opposers of general Jackson, men whom it was well known the general would remove, whenev er he came into office? If Mr. Clov should ever be elected, would he not remove all appointed under such cir cumstances? He certainlv would. Gen. Jackson has as good a right to appoint his friends to office as Mr. Adams; then why all this hue and cry? Reason enough, surely; the teat has been removed from the mouths of those who have grown fat and lazy by tugging at the treasury. Besides, something must be done, some fault found. The people had been taught to believe that if gen. Jackson wa3 elected president, he would, in less than one year, with sword in hand, establish ; kingdom, or involve us in a war with other nations. The minds of the people must be diverted from these foolish and false predictions. The first attempt to this end, was to do away the effect of the excellent message of the president, by attributing it to Mr. Van Buren, (how unfortunate this, should Mr. B. run for president himself at some future period.) Foiled in this, a terrible noise is raised about removals and next, about a profuse waste of public treasure. All these expedients are of a piece, and are easily understood by the people. Nine th usand dollars in salaries and out fits are bandied about with great adroitness,

to induce the belief that large sums of money have been expended by the administration in changing offoreign min isters. If the reader will take the trouble to examine Niles' Register, vol. 38, No. 13, page 248, he will discover that the expenses of foreign intercourse in 1228, (the last year of Mr. Adams' administration,) were 1,001,693 C6, and in 1829, (the first year of Jackson's.) only 207 ,0G0 36. Comment is unnecessary, except to say, that as the recalls have already taken place, the expenditures of the next year will be still less. Should the life cf geh. Jackson be spared, he and his friends will have nothing to fear from the opposition. Mr. Clay's friends may think him rising, but they would do well not to be flattered. Nothing is more common than to see a person, who has long been ill, recover surprisingly shortly before the final dissolution. His apparent revival should, in this case, be looked upon as an evil omen. If I can judge correctly of his political pupation, I would

pronouucf his recovery !'elpless; his disorder fatal; and that he will not survive the 4th of March 1833 It is to be expected, however, that, as his friends class him .among the unearthly beings, possessed of an unblemished character, they will not mourn for him "as those without hope." His age, too, is another reason why they should cea?e to murmur at his death. 1 arrive at it in the following manher: The Statesman says, "Mr. Clay is himself the history of th United States." Now the continent of North America was discovered in 1422, and from 'hat date its history commenced; eo, accordint! to the Statesman, Mr. Clay is at least 408 years old! a good old age, truly. It is much to be regretted that partizans on both sides are so addicted to write in hyperbole. It would seem that truth and fair dealing have little to do with political discussions. One may take up a paper a d read until he is confirmed in the stated truth, add would risque almost any thing on it; nut when he reads an opposite paper all is disapprove!, and he blushes for his credulity, or else disbelieves both, And indeed if two negatives form a positive, 1 know no good reason why two positives should not form a negative. I am far from believing that all the bad things said of Mr. Ciay are true, and I doubt not his talents or oratory. But that there are blemishes in his charac ter every candid man must admit. The friends of Mr. Clay, in their opposition to gen. Jackson, said that nothing but a sense of duty led them to expose his defects; and to let the people know the long and short cf ihern, they exhib ited him i-i the act of stabbing pictured out in a more frightful form than Old Nick himself. And to add to the scene they surrounded him with a tier ofcoflins, as if words could not express their hate. Bat why not exhibit Mr. Clay in (he act of shooting? for a man might as well be slain with a knile as with a ball though I am far from countenancing either. I shall conclude by submitting the following inquiries: Who is the most criminal, the man that gives a challenge to a duel, or the one that accepts it? Which is the most criminal, the politician that challenges, or the warrior that accepts of one? Did ever gen. Jackson give a challenge? Did ever Henry Clay give a challenge? What would John Randolph say to the last interrogative? Would he not say Yes. An Advocate for Truth and Fair Dealing. Mr. D. V.

The fire was discovered about midnight, but no exertions to save the building were of any avail, it being entirely of wood9 and very dry.' They however succeeded in saving nearly all the valuable articles of clothing and furniture. Democrat. rt T T f i Tt T itKhi-nAUTE, inu. may On the morning of the 19th inst. Coroner Tillolson, of this town called a jury to sit upon the body of Mr. Abraham Stewart, who was found suspended by a bridle, in a waste house on this prairie. The head stall of the bridle was fastened to a beam, the end of the reins formed a noose around his neck, and were so long that he was found in a sitting posture. The verdict of the Jury was that "he come to his death by voluntarily hanging himself." The deceased was a man over middle age and for some years has been intemperate. He has left a family. We are informed they are respectable. Registers LONG-ISLAND HACKS. On Monday, 10th inst. the race between Slender and Black Maria four mile heats, took place at the ap pointed hour. Betsey Ransom appeared in th field and under a start, but she broke down in the attempt. She ought never to have been put in such a portion. Slendtr, we understand, won the race with great ease. Thus has the South a second time beat the North and lined their pockets with a little of the cash they spent in New York, the Springs," &c. during the summer momhs. A lats Harrisburgh paper captions ithe public against taking quarter dollars of the American stamp, without ringing them on the counter, s there is a great number of counterfeits of that kind in circulation there. We were shown a counterfeit dollar and hree half dollars one of the halves was well exeruted, there being nothing in its apppar.nee to cause suspicion, but on throwing t on a counter or table it was easily detected. Btdford Gazette. We learn that the Hon. John M.
