Ijawrcnccliiirgli, Iflay 28. jCjVVe have been requested to insert the name of GEORGE ARNOLD, of Logan township, as a candidate for county commustioner in District No. 3. CTVe are authorized to say that Dr. RUFUS HAYMOND, of Drookville , is a candidate for Recorder in Franklin county, ice John Adair, dee'd. jOMr. GEORGE P. BUELL i anunced in the Statesman of yesterday, as a ndidate for county commis&iontr in District No. 3. Col Johnson Walls is spoken of, in the Statesman of yesterday, as a candidate for representative. We fear our neighbor of the Statesman is likely to be overlooked in the selection of a person to take Mr. Walker's place in the Clay ticket. But we hope he has more palrio ism than to leave the party, because his talents and services are not properly appreciated. uLycurgus" bas been received, but cannot, according to a rule of the office, appear in the paper until we have the author's name. We write nothing ourselves we are afraid or unwilliog to own, and have no anxiety or wish to stand sponsor or god father to the productions of others. We give place to-day to the address of Judge Read to the voters of Indiana. The Judge is open and explicit on many points of national policy. His vie ws of the tariff and of a distribution of the surplus revenue, appear to us as reasonable and correct, and we have little doubt will accord with those of the great body of the people in the state. The address, taken together, is highly creditable to the author, and is a fair specimen of that common-sense business style so very desirable and so much wanted in the executive of a plaia and republican people. Quandary. The Clay candidates for congress, in this district, bare great difficulty in settling in their own minds which is the most popular man; and each is striving to work a demonstration in this respect. Judge Test seems to reckon that, as he never professed friendship for gen. Jackson, and, for the last two sessions of congressJ zealously opposed his measures, the Clay men will certainly support him; while Mr. Smith, on the other hand, having hoisted the Clay flig, and declared himself in favor of the United States' bank aud Mr. Clay's system of high duties, (taxes,) is equally certain that he is entitled to and will receive the support of the Clay party. Now, it is not for us, perhaps, who are not particularly in the confidence of either of those gentlemen, to say who is the object of favor with the Clayitcs; but are willing to say this much, in justice, that either, if elected, would zealously subserve the views of that party, and go si! reasonable lengths to put down the republican administration of Andrew Jackson. Mr. Smith will be here in a few days, when wo shall probably hear his views and opinions of national policy. The manner in which he shall acquit himself on that occasion, may- determine the current of opinion for or against him here. As it respects ths man to be supported for congress, we are much of opinion that the Clay prty is yet uncommitted. Small Pox. This loathsome and dangerous disease, is making its way in different directions in our state. A case lately occurred in Indianapolis, another in the lower part of this county; and we are informed it has made its appearance in one or two places, not far distant, in the adjoining county of Hamilton, Ohio. In all these cases the infection has been directly traced to Cincinnati. This is a bad state of things, and calls loudly upon the authorities of that city to adopt the most efficient means to stay and eradicate the disease which we sre assured, has prevailed more for less there for the last 12 or 18 months. If this is not done, it must soon become a queation with the people of the surroundiDg country, whether they ought, for pecuniary advantage, to risk their lives by attending the Cincinnati market. We have the most flattering- accounts from different parts of the country, of the strong and growing- popularity of Gen. M Carty, the administration candidate for congress in this district. In Fayette county in particular, the abiding place of Mr- Smith and the powerful edi. tor of the Political Clarion, we have the opinion of a warm friend of Judge Test, that Gen. M'Carty will get more votes than all the other candidates. The accounts from Franklin, Rush, Union and Wayne are highly flattering. We all know what the republican voters of Deirbom and the lower counties will do for him. Let the friends of the administration act with judgment, and, following the example which we are confident will bs set by the friends of Mr. Clay, unite on the'.r strongest candidate, and success is certain. With the opposition, being themselves perfectly organized and understanding every movement that is made, the great effort will be to divide the friends of Jackson, and thereby defeat them. In the election of Gen. M'Carty, the friends of the administration have good reason to expect that their feelings and wishes wilt be fairly represented in congress, and the wise and judicious measures of the executive supported. By the election of a friend of Mr. Clay, (as past experience has fully shown.) no such course need be expected. The question is plain and easily understood. We have neen favored with a number of the Southern Clarion, a very hadsome and well arranged newspaper, recently established at Natchez, by Dite! Peck, esq. The Clarion supports the administration, and wdl no doubt be found an able and efficient advocate of its measures . We w ish the editor bucceas .

Important The editor of the Statesman has returned from a visit to his subscribers in the lower part of the county, quite revived in health, and his pockets well lined with shinert we suppose. He brings important despatches from and for his Clay friends The ticket is not yet fixed. Mr. Ju'mes Walker backs out and .Martin Stewart, etq.of Randolph, is put forth as a candidate far representative. On this occasion the editor is quite diplomatique, &. arranges the question of preference between Dr. Haines and Mr. Stewart, with some ability. The?e gentlemen, it seems, reside in the same township, and will.

it is feared, interfere with each other. Mr. Gregg kindly undertakes to point out a method by which one of them may be disposed of. and the matter satisfactorily adjusted. There will probably be a meeting of the Clay secret committee held here some night in the coming week, when this subject, together with the selection of a third candidate for representative will be attended to- We shall probably be able to give the r&sult in our next. Mr Gregg pays a high compliment to Ross Smiley, esqr. candidate for lieutenant governor. We like this. The testimony of a Clay ed tor in favor of a Jackson candidate, is alwa)s worth noticing and preserving as a curiosity . Mr. Gregg says we denied that there was a meeting of the Jack?on Central committee, and then points to the address, published last week, to prove that there was one held about the first of May- If Mr. Gregg will read again he will see that the address is published by a sub-committee, appointed for the purpose some months since, and not by the general committee in full meeting. Try again, Mr. Gregg. Pre$lde7it Jackson's health The President has lately been somewhat indisposed by a very laborious attention to his official duties. One of his arms has ben wounded by a bullet and he has held the opinion that a fragment of the ball was still in his flesh, contrary to the belief of his physicians . The ball has at length approached the surface far enough to put it beyond doubt that his own opinion was correct. The irritation from this cause, excited by laborious writing, disturbed his rest and effected his general health with a slight lever, which has given rise to the report that he was dangerously ill . The latest dates from Washington are satisfactory on this head, and place it beyond doubt that he is not only convalescent but entirely recovered, and in good health and spirits. Some of the Clay presses have appar ently exulted at his sickness, and have seized it as a hope that he will be unable to administer the government after his present term. We should quile despond if we had no other chance of defeating Mr. Clay than by waiting the acts of Providence. It is a tedious prospect to the barefooted to wait for dead men's shoes Jnd. Democrat. The Post Master General goes to Philadelphia where ho will remain a few days with his son whom he is about to place under the care of the physicians there. Major Lewis makes a journey on public business to that place. Mr. Kendall, the Fourth Auditor, has leave of absence for a month, and intends takking his family to see his aged parents in Massachusetts. Will not this fill the opposition prints with alarm in relation to the conduct of the public concerns? How will the President possibly get along under such a deprivation, especially as he has not yet brought his new Cabinet about him? We trust our opponents will find some relief in their anxieties from the same considerations which suggested themselves to an honest Pennsylvanian who came to this city in the midst of the hubbub about the dissolution of the Cabinet: '-What said n gentleman to him, what will they think of this business in Pennsylvania? will it not produce great consternation there ?" -'Not all not at all: (replied the worthy man from Mifilin,) the people of Pennsylvania know that with a few good clerks their President can manage the public business as well without as with a Cabinet." Globe. Fredericktown, (Md.) April 30. The Crops. We are gratified to slate that, from all quarters of the country we hear the most cheering hopes expressed of a rich harvest. The wheat crop especially, is so far very fine, and lthe fly1 has done but little damage the other kinds of grain also promise well ; and should it plense the great Misposer of events' to afflict the European nations with war, our farmers will have a large quantity of grain for the new market which will be thereby created. But the best and surest dependence of the f; trmer is on the 'home market f and it is only in the security of which that he can hope to receive a just compensation for his labors on the soil. The low price of produce is solely attributable to the want of consumers; and with the present policy of all foreign nations, they cannot be increased, unless among ourselves, by the diversion ofa portion of those who raise bread to those who will eat it. Astonishing. Who can be surprised at the astonishment produced in the minds of Claymen by the resignation of the Secretaries? Mr. Adams or Mr. Clay never resigned an office except to procure a better one. To see a man so patriotic and disinterested as to relinquish a situation which he could have held, must, to men who have no feelings of the kind, be very astonishing. But there is something in the present case which, to them , must be very astonishing. Mr. Clay went into the State Department for the purpose of wielding the patronage to his own personal advancement. Give us, said he, the patronage and we will make

ourselves popular. But Mr. Van Buren left it, from the consideration that by remaining in it he might be suspected of being actuated by such motives as Mr. Clay acknowledged governed him. Consequently, to the disciples of Henry Clay, the course must be very astonishing. Their great mistake lies in their hav ing considered Mr. Van Buren to be as unprincipled as they know their own favorite to be. Had they only reflected that they were dilFerent men, and are actuated by ditferent motives, they need not have felt astonished. When they have learned the different dispositions of the men, they may cease to be astonished that Mr. Aran Buren has not acted as Mr. Clay would have done under similar circumstances.

Gibbs'' Confessions. The New York Journal of Commerce, of Saturday last says: 41 We are informed from the most respectable authority that Gibbs made a full disclosure of all the accomplices, aiders and abettors, in his piracies ; and that it is the intention of the person who has the information in his possession to proceed to Washington and communicate it without delay to the resident. When published, says our informant, it will astound the people of this nation." To preserve Cucwnbers. Break ofTthe stalks of onions which have been set out in the Spring, and stick down five or six ol them in each hill of cucumbers, and the bug will immediately leave them, it would be well after a few days to renew them, but one application has been frequently found to be completely effectual. The common chives or sives will have the same effect with the onion. If this method fails, catch the bugs and kill them. Fire, lighted in a garden in the evening will destroy a great many insects. Paris is four and a half miles long, about three and a half broad, and seventeen in circumference. It contains 750,000 inhabitants, 12 mayoralties, 12 palaces, 1G bridges, 27 hospitals, G7 banks; 142 churches and chapels, 80 fountains; 22 markets, 4 museums, 9 prisons; and 14 theatres, besides numerous other public buildings.

Serious Accident On Sunday, the 8th inst.Mr. David W. Daily, Sheriff of Clark county, received a kick from a horse which broke through his skull bone, and which threatened his immediate death. The fractured bones were, however, extracted, and on the 14th inst. he was still alive, and a hope existed of his rocovery. Ind. Democrat. Cleaveland, May 1 7. Snore Storm. The Erie Gazette states that on the night of the 8th and 9th inst., snow fell a little to the south of that place many miles in extent, and seveial inches deep. We had a white frost in this region of country about those nights, but we believe no sleighing. Adv. Mormoniles. We understand that upwards of 50 of these miserable and unfortunate dupes, landed at Fairport from the Steam-boat Enterprise last week. It is high times some measures were taken to rout this population and soon loo, before a famine sets in. We have heard of no industrious means contemplated by them asyet to procure a livelihood. The poor and profligate still live upon the more wealthy dupes, whose wealth we are toid, is fast diminishing. P. S. An Ithica paper, now before us, states that more than 100 lately passed through that place, "on their way to the 'Promised Land' in Onio." The march of mind is surely retrograding. lb. The new prime minister of France. M. Cassimer Perrier is fifty-tour years of "ge, of handsome countenance, elevated stature, firm character, quick apprehension and great eloquence. His fortune is one of the greatest in France. He has been at the head of the liberal party for the last 15 years, was one of the main authors of the revolution of July, and in the chamber of deputies was twice elected president. Single Blessedness. The return by the late census in Massachusetts gives the ladies fourteen thousand majorit) ! Ohio has double the quantity on the other side. The "Skeleton of an individual of the human race, measuring nearly 10 feet in length' has been discovered in the Western country so says a letter from Missouri to Dr. Mitchell, of New-Yoik.

A letter from Vienna says "Young Napoleon has recently been introduced at the court of the Emperor for the first time. He is a tall and very elegant looking youth, with a countenance full of intelligence. I afterwards met him at a party at the English ambassador's, where he delighted the circle, in which he moved, by the ease and familiarity of hi3 conversation, and his general knowledge. Marshal Marmont, with a white cockade, and marshal Maison with a tri colored cockade, were present upon the occasion. Young

Napoleon talked freely with both these persons." Reform. Five hundred Jackson men are reported to have been removed from office in Maryland , under the present order of tbinga there. An editor in Baltimore calls it following the example set by General Jackson of rezcarding friends and punishing enemies. This looks well in the teeth of the men who, for the past eighteen months, have been bawling "proscription ''"proscription!" in every nook and corner of the Union. Columbus Sentinel. The corporation ofNew Orleans has advertised for 100,000 barrels of shells to strew over seme of the streets. Experiments have been favoiable. This will be Choncholigizing instead of Macadamizing. Abolishment oj Imprisojiment for Debt. The Legislature olNew Yoik, previous to its adjournment , passed an act abolishing imprisonmeyit for debt, with precautionary restrictions, so that rogues if found out, may not entirely escape punishment. This law is to take effect on the tirst of March next. Slate of parties in Connecticut. The votes given at the recent election in Connecticutdiave been officially canvassed, and are admitted by all par ties to stand as follows: Jackson (H. W. Edwards.) 7670 National, probably Clay,(Oranee Mervin.) C670 Anti-masonick, (Eli Ives.) 3794 Scattering, 342 In 1 828, Jacksonhad scarcely enough for a corporal's guard, now he leads all other parties. This is doing very well in two years, in 1832, the Jackson majority, at the same rate, will probably be over 2500. Diligence lost by an avalanche. On the 26th of February last, a horrible accident happened to the Diligence travelling from Turin to Lyons. On the passage of Mont Cenis, it was str uck by an avalanche, and precipitated in an instant into a valley below tiie road. What rendered the accident more frightful was that the Diligence was conducted on a iruineau, (on account of the snow) and consequently, in addition to the six passengers, the conductor and the postilion, and six coun trymen were lost, and eighteen horses Two individuals onlv have been saved. "Tricks of Trade." A new Workingmen's paper has been commenced in London at 4d, per No. while the otherpapers are Id. The Editor heads it, in small letters, sometimes "A Mirror ol Events;" sometimes 4A Political Compendium," and so on. Below this mock title he bas the standing title, "printed at the PEOPLE'S PRESS, BY C. M. R1DEY." Every one calls it a newspaper ; he calls it a pamphlet, and so escapes the newspaper stamp duty. Gold. The Fredericksburgh, (Va.) Arena informs, that large quantities of gold are found in that neighborhood that the diggers are numerous and successful. In the county of Orange, at one place, the value of 700 dollaig were gathered in one week. The number of laborers is not stated but it does not appear to have been large. Bath, N. Y. May 1 1 . The Weather. A snow storm occurred on Sunday night, which extended, fitfully, through the forenoon of Monday. The ground was covered with snow, and every thing presented the drear iness of winter. Adv. Execution of the firates. James D. Jeffers, alias Charles Gibbs and Thomas J. Wansley, convicted of the murder of the Captain and Mate of the brig Vineyard, underwent the last penalty of the law this day at 12 o'clock; on Ellis' Island. They were conveyed from the prison at Bellevue at 8 o'clock this morning, in the steamboat Belloan to the place of execution. They both supplicated the throne of mercy with earnestness, acknowledging that they were unfit longer to remain in this world, and that the punishment w hich awaited them, was justly due to the horrid crimes they hxd committed. They took leave ol the spectators in the most affecting manner, entreating that others would take warning from their fate. They were launched into eternity simultaneously, and Wansley ceased to struggle in about a minute I and a half. Gibbs died in great agony. A. Y. Journal of Commerce.
