and equal. But it is farther objected that most of the lands in the new counties are not taxable. Well, what of that? How much tax do those lands pay now? None; nor does it follow of course that the poll tax shall be stricken off. "acte" concludes byreminding the citizens of the old counties what they have foregone in settling the vast wilds of the west, while the blood ot their relations has fattened the fields. What! fields in 11 the vast wilds?" Who ever heard the like? Now how did it happen that "Fads" uttered so many things that are not faets? I answer because he must have read those communications wrong end up, consequently each line wrong end foremost, and that of course would lead any one to a wrong conclusion or understanding. That he did read one communication wrongend up, is evident from his own words, "but noiicing another communication UNDER the signature of Farmer, jr." Now the signature was where it should be. UNDER the communication, and had he turned the paper the other end up it would all have come right. I hope that he will read this communication OVER the signature, and in no case UNDER it. Thus I have rendered an excellent apology for so many things that are not facts. But if he shall say that was a typographical error, then I would advise him to make his next communication over the signature of "Falsehood," and then if he should manage to steer as far from its meaning as he has in this from acts, it will be a valuable production. All lovers of truth will approve of it is an indisputable fact. I have no ambition to rival "Fads" The reason why I have been so minute in my examination, is to show the unsoundness of his argument, which, if I an) not mistaken, will result in the advancement of that cause which I have espoused. I shall have but little or no time to devote to writing until after planting, and therefore Bubmit this and what may follow it, to the public, feeling however every way qualified to defend those doctrines which I have communicated. In my former communication, I made all due allowances for the imperfection of all human laws; this 1 have written on general principles. A. J. COTTON. Manchester, April 8, 1831. We should apologize, perhaps, to the Statesman editor for not republishing Mr. Miller's address, according to request. We have done the best we could, in the crowded state of our columns, to let our readers know who Mr. Miller is,a will be seen by the following brief notice: An individual by the name Samuel J3,JIilleri has recently published, in one of the Newark papers, a 'renunciation of Jacksonism,1 as it is called in other words, a manifesto, declaring his intention in future to vole on the other side of the question- and the Clay men are thereupon holding a great Thanksgiving and have killed the failed calf. The reasons he assigns are perfectly futile the mere cant and verbiae.of the most polluted presses of the Coalition. The true cause is assigned by those who know him well-disappointment in not obtaining office. He wanted to be Clerk of Esex, postmaster at Newark, Marshal of the State, Keeper of the State Prison, Secretary of Slate, Member of the Legislature, &c. and failing in these, he has done what he threatened long ago left the party. We are sorry lhat so respectable a man a3 Mr. Miller should for the purpose of lending himself to the Clay men lo answer their political ends, submit loso ridiculous an exposure as they make of him. Every-- body knows they know as well as we, what is the matter and how much of patriotism enters into the calculations of the judge. The Clay papers brag of the bite as if they had caught a whale we believe it is about the first and last catch of the kind they have had in New-Jersey and

now they have got him they must tie him head and heels or he'll be off agajn in a tangent before they know it. 4Fr our part the changes in our favor have been so numerous lhat we have never thought it worth while to make anyparticular noise about them. Trenton Emporium, We have been permitted to inform the people of the State of Indiana that James G. Read of Daviess county will serve them in the'ofiice of GOVERNOR, should he be honored with their confidence at the approaching August Election. Editors throughout the State will please announce Judge Read or that cflice. Indiana Democrat, At a meeting of a large number of the friends of the present administration from various parts of the state, an unanimous request was made that Amos Lane, Esq. should suffer his name to be used as a candidate for LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, at the approaching election. Mr. Lane has consented to have his name before the public, and will probably visit most parts of the State. Editors are respectfully invited to announce his name, lb.

JOHN DAVIS, of Franklin county, as a candidate for the office of Recorder, in said county, in place of John Adair, esqr. deceased. $?r7Vc have been requested toannounce William FlaLc, oq.of Laughery township, as a candidate for representative at the ensuing election. The attention of the reader is invited to the communication signed "Clinton.1 The writer wiehh a pungent and able pen, and does justice to his subject. We understand that Jrfin Godley, csqr. declines a poll for county commissioner. We have been desired, by eundry persons, who we presume are friendly to hira, to insert the name of Samuel II Doxcden as a candidate for representative; but not being ourselves in his confidence, nor acquainted with tbe6ecret regulations of the Clay party in this county, we have thought it best to wait for a distinct avowal of Mr. Dowden's wishes, by himself, or through the favorite i print. In these patriotic times of general willingness to serve the people, it would seem unnecessary to urge any one to be a candidate against his own will or that of his advisers. Governor. Judge James G. Read, of Daviess county, is announced in the Indiana Democrat as a candidate for governor. Judge Read is advantageously known to many of our citizens as r public officer, and in all the relations of life bears a fair and unimpeachable character. We learn that he intends, according to the custom of the times, to visit this and the other counties in the state previous to the election. We have been requested, by Mr. Lane, to say that the article which appeared in the Statesman of yesterday, headed "more caucusing," varies materially from the truth. Iy that article Messrs. Read and Lane are represented as being nominated by "the Jackson central committee," whereas, in fact, no meeting of the committee was held. Judge Read was a candidate for governor before he was taken up by the meeting at Indianapolis; and it was not until Mr. Lane was requested to suffer his name to be used for lieutenant governor, that he was apprised of the wishes of the meeting in this respect. The assertion that he was present at the meeting when his name was used is untrue. It is really strange that, after making so many blunders, for which he has been forced to apologize, Mr. Gregg should thus recklessly run into others. Rut it is his business, and it is hardly to be expected that he will change his course, tho' his character may 6uffer by it. The editor of the Clarion modest declines a contest, unless we lay aside k,iheiveapons of personal detraction!" Shade of Ann lioyali! how the fellow talks. lias the dogr forsaken his vomit or the sow her wallow in the mire, that Mr 1'arker, who never opes his rnouth but in the way of 'personal detraction,1 should change his nature and turn moralist? The editor of the Political Clarion abjures ''personal detraction!!' We shall think of this; and if in the future course of Mr. Parker, we shall find that the acme of political prostitution is within the reach of the "hangsman's whip that hauds the wretch in order," we shall e'en be willing to admit lhat the era of miracles has not passed. We would, however, inform Mr. Parker that we have no disposition to enter into a contest with him ; r.or are we consci ous of having attacked him "with the unmanly weapons of personal detraction." The remarks made in his paper, in regard to the public meeting held here, we considered as uncalled for and unwarranted, and in our reply we were not over particular in tllft filmic of mil PVnrpecinno Kallairlnir to be a settled nrinr.ml in t. a i.,,.. iit

''There is no loss without some small profit," is an old adage; and as an offset for the loss of his good company, if we can, by working a little harder, attend to theedito rial department of the Statesman, and thereby i secure the influence of its travelling editor in) our favor, why it's no body's business. But this may be considered blabbing "'cabinet ' secrets It will be seen by an article extracted from the Indiana Democrat, that Mr. Lane has been nominated at lndinanapolis, by the friends of the administration, as a candidate for JJeutenc.nt governor, and has consented to stand a poll for the oilice. By this determination the friends of the administration in this district

arc relieved from the IisagreeWe duty of decidingon the relative claims of two prominent candidates for congress, and can with less doubt see their way to success, by n energetic support of Gen. M'Carty, an old and steadfast friend of the republican cause. Those who were disposed to favor Mr- Lane for congress, car. now have an opportunity of supporting him for a prominent and honorable office; cne in which his talents and experience will not be lost, nor his exertions m the convass cramped by a limited .field f action. We understand that it is his intention to make a tour of all the counties, and address the people on all suitable occasions. The clear and masterly manner in which he delivers his opinions of national policy is well known, and cannot Lil to have a powerful and happy effect in correcting misapprehendsions, and strengthening- the

cause of the administration wherever he may go. In this respect, if for no other cause, the the friends of gen. Jackscn have reason to be pleased at Mr. Lane's determination. Kelso meeting.

Isaac Yanhouten appointed secretary. A committee was chosen, and a few resolutions reported; but by some strange mischance, we learn, they were vetoed on the question of adoption. We have not seen any of them, and fear the whole record of the doings of the aforesaid meeting- will be lost to posterity, unless this notice, or a copy of capt. Wm. Barber's address, delivered on the occasion, is preserved. The address will appear hereafter. The members of the Lawrenceburgh seeffet committee of dictation, deny that Mr. Toxvden ) was ruled off the course at any of their meetdid not hardly suppose they would admit that lnirs. I ins is no more man we exnecieu. w e Messrs. Walker, James and Ferris were taken up in secret caucus, as the Clay candidates to be run at the next election. The Clay boys business. They cry out caucus! caucus! down with the nominated administration ticket, while they themselves are the only fellows who hold caucuses, in the strict meaning of the word. It should be borne in mind that those who first cry out "stop thief!'' re themselves generally guilty. We see by the Statesman, of yesterday, that Modesi Merit has anticipated our wishes, as expressed in the article headed "No J ok?,"' and is out for us electioneering, like a 4,sveet dear creature," as he is . That he should take so early a stand in our favor was not expected, and is rather contrary to private understanding; but then we should make allowance for a warm temperament, rendered impetuous by periodical attacks of the "night mare." We hope, however, he will manage for us with due discretion, and not, in a moment of poetical phrenzy, paint us as feeing "clothed in purple and tine linen, and faring sumptuously every day." We hate ostentation, Jc would not for the world have Mr. Gregg tax his fancy in representing our dress or living; or lhat the carpet which covers our floor real domestic, made by the industry of our family is any better than the elegant Turkish fabric that graces his pailor, reflecting its broad and transparent figures in a splendid gilt mirror. We say our ambition does not run so high, nor in any way, save to the payment of our honest debts, when able, and to live.in plain republican simplicity The posmaster in this place has furnished us with the following abstract of postages, received at the several offices in this county, for the year ending 31st ot March, 18o0 Lawrenceburgn, Risinc: Sun, $142 13 112 Gl 46 6 ) 42 89 40 17 15 75 15 5G 9 12 7 36 0 29 1 17 Hartford, Aurora, Manchester, Wilmington, Moore's Hill, llardinsburgh, M lira's Mill, llogan, White Waier, S434 50 On publishing the above, the ediior of the Statesman takes occasion lo make some remarks, calculated to induce a belief that there is bad management in the post office, in comparison with previous years. In reference to the Lawrenceburgh post office, he appears to be quite certain that there is a diminution of postage. Now we thought we had some knowledge of the post office here, but it was not until the present time that we were fully apprised of its prosperous condition before it came into Maj. Hunter's hands. We recollect that the office was kept by Mr. Gregg 18 or 20 months, as deputy, under an arrangement that two thirds of the per centage should be divided equally between the, then, editors of the Palladium and we also recollect that when lhe office was given up, Mr. Gregg de have. forgotten himself, or is not in his right mind.

Candidates, &c, Indianapolis has witnessed a busy scene of political excilementduring the past week. Candidates forG overnor, Lieutenant Governor and Congress have beea here from the dif-

fercnt quarters of the Statr. On Saturday last Gen. Noah Noble, David Wallace, Esq. and Gov. Ray, made what are generally denominated "slump speeches" to the people. On Monday, Gen. Stapp, Jude Scott, Gen.

Hanna and Governor Jennings also gave a similar entertainment, and on Tuesday, at noon, Gov. Thompson, Isaac Ilowk, Esq. and Gen. W. W. Wick held forth. At candle lighting of the same day Amos Land Esq. addressed a large audience in the Court House. To attempt to describe, review or analyse all of the speeches would be beyond our limits or purpose at present. We were highly edified at the display of such an assemblage of talent, and of course, much pleased with the abundant flow of disinterested . . . . i vnlrwiism so leelmdv exhibited by most f , , j , rf lhoe who aimed to "Serve their country, for their country's good." ! I . .i 4 i j 4 ; j And we were much astonished to hnd among all those great tnen but one individual who had the effrontery to speak in favor of the administration of Gen. Jackson. This may seem strange to our distant readers, but astonishment will cease when it is recollected that of all this number ofofiice seekers they were all Adams and Clay men but one certain and one sometimes. This state of affairs showed the anxiety of our opponents to gain place and power, and also shows the people that they must awake from their lethargy or , suijer eyery Dce to be cfi witn men who go against General Jackson and his administration. I he administration was insidiously attacked by almost every Clay man, and was ably defended by Mr. Lane. The old cry of "no party, high "Tariff" and Mr. Clay's nondescript "American system" were the prominent themes. We shall take occasion, at our leisure to revert to the subject of these speeches again, while for ihe present we admonish our friends to be on the alert and look well to the manoeuvres of our opponents. lb. lintc Foreign IVcws. Belgium, The greatest alarm pervaded the town of Brussels on th 2Clh of March. A horde of miscreants, who, it was said, had been paid by well known individuals, had been let louse upon the town, and were committing the most.disgraceful acts of disorder and pillage. Reports existed of an Orangecomplot of conspiracies at Brussels and Antwerp. A colonel Borremens, in a drunken carousal, had proclaimed his intention of proceeding to meet the j prince of Orange wiih his regiment. lie had been arrested & made some revelations implicating others. His regiment had planted a tree of liberty, maltreated somft of their officers, &z marched lo the prison where their colonel was confined, and demanded his life. Order was restored on the 9ih, though the people were still without confidence. O.i this day the congress met and fdprlH its nfiirprs. fipvpml - r rests had been made, and amongst tluJ 1 XT 1 nil 1 rest general i) pels, ine overthrow of the present government was spoken of, as also the establishment of a republic. The prince of Saxe Coburg vun to be proposed in the congress of Belgium as monarch. A Biussels paper slates that a heavy cannonading had been heard in the direction of the Client and Antwerp the caue had not been ascertained. A change of ministry was about to take place; the resignation of the minister of war had been accepted. The council it appears were divided on the subject of peace or war, but it was not ascertained lhat the ministerial chance resulted from this circumstance. Poland, It would appear that since the last advices, lhe army of Dcibiisch thought more of its own safety than any thiiig else. The Messager des Ch am ores of the 23J March states that provisions had failed, the roads were impracticable, and that the Russian armv were peiishing by degrees. Already says ihis print, it flies the evirons ofPragaleaves its positions in all quarters, even abandoning its artillery in many places. General Kreutz and prince Adam t!e Wurtemburg saved themselves by posthorses. The thaw of the Vistula had greally increased the wretched condition of the Russian army. General , Dwernkki is represented as pursuing ,ne Russians ivith great fury; and it 's stattd lhat new levies were raising . . i r . every where to give me nnal blow to their invasion. On lhe 9th of March, a corps of Cossacks, who were covering the retreat of the Russians, were dispersed. The Russians, it appeared, still, occupied the frontiers with between 15 or 20,000 infantry, cavalry and artillery. The breaking up of the ice in the Vistula had carried away three pontoons of the bridge over that river on the 1 1 Hi of March. News had been received on the 10ih,ofMarch, that general DwernickTs division of the Polish army had again broken a Russian battalion and laken two cannon. A letter says that he had captured 1G pieces of artillery. The report of insurrectionary movements in Podolia and Yolhvnia is again rept td, and it is added lhat in the lira named pio ii.ee

jMarch inclusive, at which date the city was in the best state of defence, every possible means had been adopted to impart strength to it. Among other preparations to insure the invaders a warm reception, mines had been sprnng in several of the streets, doors and windows had been barricaded, and walls built across the streets, by which th city was divided into separate fortified quarters. editor of the (ireensburgh Indiana Chornicle, (late associate editor of the Statesman of this place,) pays Judge Read a high compliment cn announcing his name as aandidite tor governor.
