a reform of those errors.

Fellow citizens, I have lost all confidence in those characters. Of what use are they to our country or the people of Indiana, only to drain the money oulof the public treasury? On which (report says) some of our congressmen riot in drunkennesa and debauchery to the disgrace of their constituents and their own shame. Even our senators and representatives of our state legislature, appear to have the same unrighteous delicacy in exposing the iniquity of officers, as the judges and congress representation with some honorable exceptions. Fellow citizens, does not the good of the government demand a change of men and measures in public otlice? Who will have the good of our country and the support of the constitution more at heart? Let us rise, in the majesty of our strength, and elect men of good moral and temperate habits, and sound judgment, with undaunted independence to serve the people as judges and in all the representative capacities. Men who will support the con-

We acknowledge the receipt of sundry documents from our representative in congress, Mr. Test, comprising the report of the commissioner of the general land office, the report of major general Macomb, the report of the board of visitors to West point, and several others, accompanying the president's message. These documents may be had for perusal, by calling at this office. We also have received, through the

polite attention of Mr. Hendricks, of

slitution of this slate themselves, and the United States senate, Mr. Sanford's aid and assist in chastising all olTenders rcport on the current coins. This is

of the same.

Fellow citizens, the good ofour country demands a change of measures: I do not mean a change of parties. Our country has been distracted enough already by raising parties to turn the ins out and the outs in. The laboring and working pari of the community are generally honest, sober, and virtuou?, who are well disposed and steady in the support of the laws and constitution ; and inj fact the bulwark of the nation. Out of thi3 class we can find men of equal abilities and capacity to transact all our public business, equal to any other clas3 of citizens. A resonable competition in the government, to keep the people alive to their interest, Is of the tirst importance in our free republic, but when it is carried beyond honorable measures it loses its valuable check, and borders on anarchy. I have a friendship alike for individuals who profess Jacksonism and Clayism, although I have been considered on the Clay side.. But Dick Johnson's resolution, (of Kentucky) to leave all parties and declare for himself, i3 worthy of imitation. Let us declare for ourselves and put a stop to party broils and contention in our country. Our laws are in a very bad state. It is true we have some that are good and wholesome for the people ; but a revision is absolutely necessary. A short, simple, and plain code of laws is the best for a free people. They should be concise, mild, and energetic. All the unconstitutional acts should be repealed, also all the borrowed words from other languages should be struck out, and their places supplied with English, and so simplified, that the smallest capacities could understand them. An alteration in our judiciary is of the utmost importance. There should be a prompt decision in all judicial cases without delay, and but one attorney would be necessary to assist the judge in taking the evidence, to accomplish a righteous judgment. Examiner.

A Relic of the United States' Slocp cf

War Hornet, it is now hlteen months since the gale in which the U. States, ship Hornet, with her gallant crew, is supposed to have been lost in the Culph of Mexico, and up to this time not a syllable of direct information has been given to the public concerning her fate. We have now a single item to communicate, which we believe can be relied on. Capt. Williams of the schooner Texas, informs us that he saw at BrasBos one of the Hornet's boats, which was driven ashore to the north of Tampico several months since , and in which were found a number of caps marked "Hornet." She was recognized by a Captain well known to Capt. Williams, as a gig in which one of the Lieutenants of the Hornet frequently came ashore. Capt. Williams describes her as from 20 to 25 feel long,painted black, round waist, and copper fastened. She is singlebanked, having two oars on one side, and three on the other. Since she came into the hands of her present owner, (a pilot at Brasses) she has been coppered, to preserve her from decay. Capt. W. offered him 100 to exchange her for his own boat, in order that he rnieht bring her home, but was refused. Further information may be obtained by applying to Capt. Williams, on bcMrd the schooner Texas, I; ing at pier No. 1. North River. There are persons at the Navy Yard, we presume, who will be able, from the above description, to decide whether or not she belonged to the Hornet. To us there seems little reason to doubt on the subject. No oilier appendages of the ship, or pieces of the wreck had

com;! ashore, from which it is probable that she foundered. Journal of Com, 'TTUST received and for sale by the box, j? a quantity of candles nd soap, at Cincinnati prices. THOMAS SHAW. Jaoujrj 8, 193 J.

an interesting document, from which we purpose making some extracts. Ohio, The election for U. States' Senator came on in the Ouio legislature on the 39(h ult. and resulted in the election of Thomas Ewing, on the Gih ballot, by a majority of 3 votes over Micaj ih T. Williams. The following is the vote on the several bui

ldings: 1st 2d 3d 4th 5th 6th Ewing 33 37 42 40 51 54 William3 49 50 4y 52 53 51 King 21 21 10 0 5 00 Scattering 3 12

Mr. Williams was supported by the friends of the administration, &; Messrs. Ewing and King by the friends of Mr.

Clay.

We have not yet learned the result of the election for U. Slates' Senator in Kentucky, to fill the place of Mr. Rowan. It was to have taken place on Tuesday last. Congress, Little business is doing in either house of congress of a general nature. The impeachment and trial of Judge" Peck, of Missouri, for misdemeanors in cilice, seem to engage much attention. Until his case is disposed of little other business, it is thought, will be attended to. Judge Test arrived at Washington on the 15th ult. The injury he sustained in one of his legs, by jumping from the stage, detained him considerably on his journey, and is still very painful. In a letter to the editor ol the 25ih ult., he says he is barely able to hobble about on crutches, and attend the meetings of the house by the aid of a hack.

By letters received in town from Messrs. Ferris and Armstrong, we learn that a bill has passed the house of representatives to incorporate the Tanner's creek bridge company, with a capital stock of 3500 dollars, to be created by shares at $5 each. Those who have subscribed to the bridge, are to receive shares to the amount of the money paid. The bill also provides for an adjustment of the accounts of the contractors and the payment of what may be due them. Under all the circumstances, we think the bill will meet the wishes of a majority of our citizens. The Louisville Advertiser states that Mr. Clay and family arrived in that city on the 29th ult. on their way to New-Orleans. Some of the Clay editors seem disposed to exult at the re-election of Mr. Hendricks to the U. States' Senate. The friends of the administration can with unfeigned good feeling join will) them in celebrating the event. Such victories as the friends of Mr. Clay have achieved in the re-election of Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana, and Mr. Buckner, of Missouri, are easily reconciled. WTe wish them more such.

"The Mentor," We have received the first No. of a neat little publication

under the above title, intended principally for the instruction of youth. It is issued from New York city, twice a month, at 1 per year. On our miscellaneous page the reader may see a specimen of this interesting work

Tt ihi right about ' Ths friends of Mr.. Clay have been busily engaged since the senatorial election in Missouri, endeavoring' to prove tint Mr. Uuckner, the successor of Mr. Barton, is opposed to tlie administration. The following letter will, we ihink, put the matter to rest, and show that the opposition editors have been practising an imposition on their readers. Our neighbor of the Statesman has twice essayed to inform the public to which party Mr. Uuckner belongs. Once he represented Air. 1?. as friendly to the administration; again that he was opposed to it. The MrJ attempt having a charm, we expect the matter will be finally settled, that "he's not of our church." To the Editor of the J effersonian. Sir in the last number of the "Times," f observed a paragraph, stating that previous to the late Senatorial Election, I had given pledges to the friends ofMr. Butoo,and declared myself to be a fiiend of Mr. Henry Clay, and opposed to the proscription of the present udminiattation (basely inlending to say that I am pledged to appose the administration of President

Jackson.) All this is clearly a mistake,

STEAM BOATS. Our steam boat owners and Captair-s entertain some very erroneous notions about their liabiliies, which it would be well tor them and for the public, to have removed .Some six or seven years ago, our Supreme Court decided here, in Cincinnati, that steam boat owners were not liable for goods destroyed by fire on board the boat. The correctness of that decision is very questionable and I doubt whether it will be adhered to. The decision noticed below is different, and as I take it much the safest. Cin. Gaz, "The Court of King's Bench, for the District of Montreal has decided, that proprietors of steam boats are to be con-

as every nody at this place can testify J sidered as common earners, and legally

I was supported as a supporlerof the !

said administration. I hope the editor of the "Times" will dome the justice to correct this imputation. You will 'oblige me by giving the above a place in your paper. lam respectfully, yours and Scc. A. BUCKNER. December 7, 1S30.

TO TEE FUSLI0. IE undersigned considers it a duty be ottes bis family tnd himself, to present the public with such facts connected with the late prosecution of himselfat Vicksburgh, Mississippi, cn a charge of robbery, as may serve to show bis innocence, and put to silence the trumpet-tongue of the ruthless assailant of private character. His main object beins to exculpate himself from the foul charge brought against kici by one Moses Swartze, he omits in this publication tbe insertion of n number of letters and documents, in bis possession, calculated to show the notorious character of said Srrartzc, and fix upon him the odium which justly attaches to him wherever he is known. The attached certificate, ho feels persuaded, will be sufficient of itself to convince every mind, not blinded by prejudice or swayed by passion, that ho is innocent cf tbe charge brought against him, and that the prosecution was the result cf malice in a mind devoid of every bonest or honorable failing: (corv ) "We, the nndersigTied, citizens of Warren county, and State of Mississippi, certify to whom it may concern, that we were present during" the trial of William Harrison, before our honorable circuit court, at the present term, charged with the robbery of Moses Swarize, a European Jew. We have no hesitation in saying" that we believe the charge was entirety without foundation, malicious and false We believe Moses Swartze an infamous character,

a notorious swindler, and a dangerous man in society. Yicksburgh, Nov. 13th, 183U."
