liawrciiccburIi, ITIay 7. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE f jr president AZTDREW JACKSON. ELECTION 131 1832.

(rWe have been requested to announce Joseph JVood,esq. as a candidate for couuty commissioner, in District No. 1. We have been requested to announce JVilliam Caldzucll, CEq., as a candidate for county commissioner, in District No. 2. Our latest papers from Washington say nothing about the organization of (he new cabinet. We expect to Bee it ollicially announced in a few days. American System, A a editor in Ohio, after collecting nil the information he could, by rewards and premiums, has come to the conclusion that the system, so much talked about by Mr. Clay, may properly be deGned a hair trap to catch gulls. We have been informed through a source wc cannot question, that Mr. Wrm. V. Cheek has declined the nomination for representative, on account of private business. It therefore devolves upon the friends of the administration in Laughery township, to select fome person to fill the vacancy in the ticket, accasioned by the withdrawal of Mr. Cheek. We have heard William Flake esq. suggested by several as a suitable person to supply the vacancy, and doubt not but that his nomination would meet the approbation of the friends of tho administration generally. Mr. IIolman, one of the candidates for congress in this district, appears by circular in our columns to-day. On the presidential question, it will be seen, he is with us in opposition to Mr. Clay. By this declaration we find, at the opening of the congressional campaign, that we have three candidates in the field friendly to the administration. Now this, to say the least of if, is bad management; and will, we fear, in the end,piove disastrous to our prospects in the district. With the changes in favor of the administration in the district, after making allowance for the great popularity of Messrs. Test and Smith, we might safely run two candidates against them; but to support three, and sulFer a number of votes to be thus thrown away, is a contest we ought not willingly to hazard. The friends of the administration have it in their power to regulate the matter better, and we cannot doubt but that they will. Trtchs cf the opposition The enemies of the Ctlministration profess to be governed by talents and character in their choice of public officers, but never fail in practice to discard both, unless coupled with an uncompromising spirit of opposition to the administration. To lack this last qualification, though a man maypossess the others in a high degree, is sufiicient to proscribe him from all favors in their gift. Do the opposition deny that this is the fact? Then we would point them to their course towards Mr. Hendricks. The editor of the Political Clarion, who claims for himself the honor of being at the head of the opposition press in Indiana, is liberal of his abuse of this gentleman, because he did not think proper, at the last session of congress, to oppose the administration right or wrong. The editor of the Western Statesman, a more humble co-worker in the business of slander, follows the example of the Clarion, and throws upon Mr. Hendricks a portion of the scum of his caldron. Neither of these editors pretend to call in question Mr. Hendricks's talents nor character. They do not charge him with any remissness of duty to his constituents or to the state for in him they know there has been none; but they charge him with the horrible offence of supporting the administration in that wherein his conscience told him it was right. This is the head and front of his offendingnothing more. From this simple fact, which cannot be denied, it is easy to see the liberal principles by which the opposition are governed; and that all their professions about talent and character, being with them the passports to favor, are merely wind-baubles thrown out to divert and mislead the public mind. We would advise our republican friends to! keep a clcse and scrutinizing eye upon the I Clay leaders in this quarter. Thev are m enar. i nifc mi uta(juaic an uggif, auci, in ineir secret and covert way, will strive hard to defeat every friend of the administration at the next election. Midnight conclaves and caucuses will be held without number. "Bargain, intrigue and management" will be resorted to, and the most unnatural and discordant materials bro't to coalesce to accomplish their hidden purposes. While these things are going on and maturing, the 7na?iagers will not fail to hold out to the people that they have no organizationno party preference no question in view. Republicans! be not deceived by fair speeches, nor cheated out of your suffrages by arch intrigues. When the enemies of the administration say.to you, "We have no organization," believe it not it is false. When they tell you, "We have no party preference, and will be directed in our choice of. officers by merit9 regard their words with an ear of disbelief, as a syren song to lull you into a support of men and measures you despise. The line of demarcation is fixed, and few Clay men will be found to transcend it. They know that in order to affect Jackson's administration they must send a member from this district to congress, who will oppose its measures; they also know that at the next session of the legislature of Indiana, an United States' Senator is to be elected to fill Mr. Noble's place, and that to ensure the selection of a tajik enemy, one who will go against the adr i . - i I i .i-irv -!. o rlAm-inAin ....... I. 1 . I I

Xntnktfat'nn rigM or trrnn, a fiKjirity of Clay members must Le elected in August next. All this, we repeat, is clearly understood, and every movement of the .opposition will be directed with a view to its accomplishment. The course to he pursued by the friends of gen. Jackson is plainly marked out by every act of his enemies. They must meet the secretly combined forces of Mr. Clay, hand to hand, and in the exercise of their elective privileges, give proof to the world that they are not only the friends of the administration in name, but in deed and in act

The board for transacting county business met in this?place on Monday last. After transacting the ordinary business of the year, col. John Spencer was re elected collector, and Walter Armstrong treasurer, vice Thos. Palmer, esq. resigned. The board then proceeded to district the county, agreeably to the law for choosing commissioners at the next election, when it was decided that Randolph, Laughery, Union, and Ceasar-creek townships shall form district No. 1; Sparta, Manchester and Kelso No. l2 Lawrenceburgh and Logan No. 3. In choosing county coninvssioner?, it will be recollected, the whole county votes in common, but that candidate residing in No. 1, receiving the highest vote, shall be commissioner for that district and so in regard to the other districts- v We nre at something of a los?, in addressing the opposition, to know hv what name to accost them. At one time they are called Clay men, at nrolher Adamsites ; again 'National Republicans," of the Webster school, and anon Federalists. We wish Ihey would assume some fixer! position, and not thus eternally be varying wiih the weather. We care not what flng (hey hoist, nor what leader they put forth: but hate mortally to he wasting am ; munition in skirmishing with an invisible and nameless enemy.

Washington City, 7th April, 1831. Dear sir: Four days ago 1 communicated to you my desire to relinquish the duties of the War Department, and I now take occasion to repeat the request which was then made. I am not disposed, by any sudden withdrawal, to interrupt or retard the business of the ofiice. A short time will he sullicicnt, I hope, to enable you to direct j your attention towards some person in whose capacity, industry, and friendly disposition, you may have confidence, to assist in the complicated and laborious duties of your administration. Two or three weeks, perhaps less, may be sufficient for the purpose. In coming to this conclusion candor demands of me to say, that it arises from no dissatisfaction entertained to wards you from no misunderstanding between us, on any subject; nor from; any diminution, on my part, of that friendship and confidence which has ever been reposed in you. I entered your Cabinet, as is w ell known to you, contrary to my own wishes; and having nothing to desire either as it regards myself or friends, have ever since cherished a determination to avail myself of the first favorable mo ment, after vour Administration should be in successful operation to retire. It occurs to me, that the time is now at hand when I may do so, with propriety, and in proper respect to you. Looking to the present slate of things ; to the course of your Administration, i which, being fairly developed, is before the people, for approval or condemna- j tion, I cannot consider the step I am j taking, objeclionablc, or, that it is one, the tendency of which can be to affect j or injure a course of policy by you al-' ready advantageously commenced, and j which I hope will be carried out to the ! benefit and advancement of the people. ' Tendering mv sincere wishes for! your prosperity and happiness, and for your successful efforts in the cause of your country. I am, very truly your friend, J. II. EATON. To Andrew Jackson, President of the United States. Washington City, April, 8, 1P31. Dear sir: Your htter of yesterday was received, and I have carefully considered it. When qu conversed with me the other day on the subject of your withdrawing from the cabinet, I expressed to you a sincere des-iro that you would well consider of it; for, however

reluctant lam to be drprired of year services, I cannot consent to retain you contrary to your wishes and inclination to remain, particularly as I well know that in 1829, when I invited you to become a member of my cabinet, you objected, and expressed a desire to be excused, and only gave up your objections at my pressing solicitation. An acquaintance wiih yon, of twenty years standing, assured me, that, in your honesty, prudence, capacity, discretion, and judgment, I could safely rely and confide. I have not been disappointed. With the perfoirnancc of your duties, since you have been with me, I have been filly satisfied, and go where you will, be your desfiny

what it mav, my best wishes will always attend you. I will avail myself of the earliest opportunity to obtain some qualified friend to succeed you; and, until then, I must Eolicit that tho acceptance of your resignation be efened. 1 am, very sincerely and respectfully, your friend. ANDREW JACKSON. Major J. II. Eaton, Secretary of War. I Aiic Foreign --IVcvrs. England. O.i the 2 1st of March the project of parliamentary reform was taken up in the house of commons, and on a motion lor a second rea li i of the hill on the 21 of April, a debate ensued. The question was determined in the affirmative, by n very close vote, there being 302 for the reading and 301 against it. Public feeling seems very high in England on the subject of the above measure, and petitions were pouring in from all quarters in its favor, as well as more or less against it. It was feared that should the bill be finally lost, after the high expectations which have been raised, that it might give rise to some disturbances in the kingdom. The prince of Orange had left London forAmsterdnm. Poland. The Russian?, at the latent intelligence from Poland, had not made any new attack upon the Polish forces. The weather is said to have proved very unfavorable for military operalions, in consequence of the thawing of the snow, and the breaking up of the ice in the Vistula. Field marshal Diebitsch has set at liberty the Polish piisoners of war, giving to each two ducats and apioclamation to the Poles. The governor general and vice governor of Warsaw had resigned. The central forces of Poland concentrated in 1 he villages westward of Warsaw is estimated at about 3G,000 regulars, 1 5,000 volunteers, 5,000 sylhemen, (peasants armed wiih sythes,) 8c CG field pieces, independent of 10,000 men and 12 guns under gen. Devernicki, in the waiodship o( Sandomir. The loss of the Russians since the opening of the campaign is thus stated; killed, wounded , and mUng 3,000 men, and 13 guns of various calibresick 7,000. It is stated that the emperor Nicholas has given directions to general Deibitsch not to destroy Watsaw; and a letter published in the London papers of the 22d March , stales that an armistice between the Russian? and Poles had been agreed upon. The London Morning Herald of the 23d March says that the news from Poland is cheering. The patriotic army is unbroken inspirit, wiih supplies of all sorts abundant, strongly posted near Warsaw, having also a large force in Praga. The Russians on the other hand are represented as harrasscd by the bad roads, disappointed by the breaking up of (he ice in the Vistula, weakened by diseases from the marshy country through which they marched and to be sickly, irresolute, and dispiiilcd. A letter from Warsaw of the 10th March states that general Dwerniki, had gained another victory over the Rmsiai"' near Lubin, and that it was almost certain a revolution had broken out in the Ukraine, Volhinia, Podolia and Lithuania, and that the Russian army had retreated from their position near Praga in confusion. The official journal of Warsaw, states, that the Russians who entered Pillowy, pillaged the house) rei fire to the buildings, violated the women, and made prisoners of the men; and Ibis without any thing to enrage them, the inhabitants having furnished them duling their stay with all that they demanded. New-Orleans, Atril 7. The ship Romulus, capt. Gushing, arrived here this morning in 33 days from Cadiz, but brings no papers. Capt. C informs us that on the day he left the city, (the 3d March.) the governor of Cadiz was assassinated; and on the previous night twenty-five persons had been killed. After the vessel left, capt. Cushing was informed by a pilot that troops were arriving from all quarters, that all the houses were shut, and that it was believed order would be established. Courier.
