FAiLIiABIUM.
Iiaurrcnccburgli, June 4. We omitted in our last to notice the election of Waller Hudson as a constable in this township. The writer of the communication iigned "Lycurgus," having removed our objection to inserting it, the article may be found in our paper to-day. Doctors differ. Mr. Gregg says that Judge Read and Mr. Line were nominated by the Jackson central committee as candidates for governor and lieutenant governor; (he Indiana Journal (a Clay pap'jr,) says they were not nominated by the committee. Are they both right? Portentous, The editor of the Political Clarion announces, in his last paper, that lie lias drawn the sword and thrown away the scabbard, and intend?, after taking a little breath, to enter the congressional contest with great ppiiil j and resolution. We understand Mr. Parker is to break ground tor Jtldire ' 'rt .Ct a, a wr,,f nvim-mit.'iiinn . ., 7 , . i . T; Udl r , U ;V n , rt,,u,1uau a- i would advise Mr. P. not to be too rapid j ,t 5umm a pu. uu ,, uv a c v of the whole ground lo see vheie he is tojepatr, should he be c.s.hled or i un ; down in tne roniesi. we nave neaiu it slyly intimated ttut our neigiiborof the Statesman is to br the "by authority" printer under Mr. Clay, in the event of his election in 1C32; and we all know with what caution he moves in the congressional canvass. The modest and retiring editor of the Statesman says he has more than once refused to run as a candidate for the legislature ! on the ground that he would not like to leave home ; and that he believes there are other persons better calculated to seive the people in the Legislature than himself. We fully agree with him in the frce of the last reason; but cannot altogether see the point, in the 2d, in these times of doubt and . uncertainty, lie thinks, however that he would make a tolerable county commissioner, and asks us to try him a race for the ofilce. We are sorry we cannot consistently comply with his desire, but will be willing to say, if lie gels more votes for commissioner than we do for representat ive, that had we run against him he would have beaten us. Oar name Was not put forth through any agency or wish on our part, but by our personal and political friends; and as we do not altogether recognize the applicability of Mr. Gregg's 2d reason to our case, we do not consider ourselves at liberty, at this time, to withhold our name or services, if desired. We have understood that it is reported, in various parts of the district, that gen. MCarty was brought out as a candidate for congress by the Jackson central committee. This is not so. Nor was lie recommended for the office, by the public meeting held at Indianapolis, a short time since; as has abo been reported. He was announced in the papers of the district before the meeting was he'd, as is well known here- Such stories, fVom whatever m live put in circulation, cannot, in the end ailect gen. M'Carty's standing with the voters of the district. He must be assailed by other and stronger weapons, to lessen him in public estima. tion. In saying this much, we would not be understood as opposed to the proceedings of the central committee, nor to the course pursued by the meeting held at Indianapolis, at which candidates for governor and lieut. governor were recommended to the people. On the contrary, we recognize the right, and it is secured to us all by the constitution, to meet in a . peaceable and orderly manner and deliberate on all subjects affecting our public interests. As citizens of the state, the pentlemen assembled at Indianapolis from different sections, had an unquestionable right, if they thought proper, to meet together and recommend lo the favor and support of their fellow-citizens, such candidates lor governor and lieut. governor, as they considered prcper. In doing this they assumed no power denied to the humblest man in community that of recommending his friend to public favor . Counterfeit. We hive been shown a bill on the U. S. branch bank at St. Louis, crossed at the Cincinnati branch as a counterfeit. The general appearance of the bill is good; and, excepting the signature of the president, presents nothing suspicious. It is a S-5 letter A, dated March 14, IS:9. payable to S. (). Duncan. I!v a reference to Canheld's Argus, we frul a notice of spurious 5's on the St . Louis branch, but r.o particulars are given. On Tuesday last, Mr. Smith, one of ihe candidates for congress, delivered an address in this place. We were present on the occasion. and having listened with some attention, thii.k we can venture to give the substance of part of bis lemarks. Mr. S after an exordium, which consisted mainly of professions of great love and respect for the voters of Dearborn, commenced by explaining what lie understood to be 'the American system. He spuke of the states under the confederacy of the manner of raising revenue to carry on the war of the difficulties the government met with on the conclusion of peace of the want of concert m the states. Mr. S. then spoke of the adoption of the constitution, and the powers sunendered by the states lo the general government. Amcng these he iccognised the authority to levy a tariff for revenue and for protection the right to make roads and other improvemeiv.s in the slates, and to erect gates and appo ut officers to collect, tolls Mr. S. spoke of a protective tariff as the only hope of ihe agri. culturalist to sell his surplus produce excepted tea, coffee, cocoa and.w'f from high duvies. The latter article Mr. 8. inclined to the opinion should rather be encouraged by a bounty than protected by a duty being an article of pnn.e necessity, and one in which, from the . scarcity of salt water, the enterpnze and industryof the countrv., could not readily enter into competition. Mr. S. then passed to a distribution of the surplus revenue said he was opposed to the plan recommended by th: president-thought if it was adopted the sea board would i et an over proportion that the legislatures of the states would never be able to act in concert, and the money would be squandered away in legislating; Mr. S. pointd to the Michigan road, to sho Uie impolicy
of depending on the state authorities to effect works of improvement. He spoke of the U. States bank, said he was in favor of recharterirg it, with a restriction that it should not hoid real estate longer than might fbe necessary to secure the claim for which it was taken Mr. S- spoke of U. S. lands, and expressed himself in favor of givi.ig1 them to actual settle1 Si after a residence of five cars. Mr. S. said l.e was no partisan, hut between tlie two Muhvidua'snoWipoken of for preside.it, he should vote for Mr. (Jby. lie then concluded by remaiking that Jitrtpfe Test was a very fine man; that Gen. M'C.uty, wis an exceheni cfiicer, and in the receipt of Sl5 '0 per annum ftcm t lie government; and that h himself, would be very happy to he considered as good as either of them on the lirst Monday of August.
The Statesman editor, in speaking of Mr. Smith's kpeerh, undertakes 10 say t!ut we interrupted lorn by p opDundiig ques.ions. This every person present knows to be incorrect" due it is, that when Mr. Smith was discussing the tariff, and stated tiiat a monopoly could not take place in any of die articles protected bv a duty, we proposed v question on a slip of paper, and handeu it to him; which j in the course or ns em.uiva, i.iuw i om i.u his views on ihe ,lutv. in answer to our quest on be remarked ihat he would ph.ee salt on a diffeient looting lioni other tariff d articles, and would be in favor of i educ -n the diHv This was all the cniest-on we put him. ami it vs done in a manner not in the least calculated to interrupt his discourse. We, as well s must of tlw-e pi eent, were anxious to have Mr. Smith's ideas on the a!t Ul ut . We kicw Mr. Test's, and that he is in favor ot high duties on tins vaatab! l ' dispensable article to the peop'e f Indiana. We also wished, by proposing u.e cm.csHo,., to as- - k - J , ti. ..... i SmitU convinced us th ti.ev have none. The editor of the Madison tlerald publishes a letter from gov. J. l. Hay, denying thai he is a party man. The governor is a Candida e for congress in the second distrct, and we presume in'emis to run what is cni'ed the miud'.e shine, if he can get into it. We opine, how ever, thai he Will iiiid dimculty in gcunu crew to man his vessel. He has been tried' so ! often, that old sailors have lost cor. file nee in Ins nautical tkul, and will no longer trust themselves to the guidance of a hehnsman so illy calculated to comivsmd.

Messrs. Livingston and Woodbury have entered upon the duties of their respective Departments. Mr. 1 nlium. we tinders land, will remain in the Treasury Department until some unfinished business, upon whit. he is ened, is completed. Hugh Lozo?on White of Tenncssop, who, on ihe 9th nil. was ollered the appointment of Secretary of War, in the place of John II. Jo'on, resigned, has declined accepting it. We understand that the vacancy in that Department will be forlh-wilh Mtppiied, and that in the meantime its duties will be performed by Mi. Eaton. Globe. li.it c Foreign jews. Russia and Poland. We are hiphly gralilied at Ihe cheeiicg nous from P"bnd. The Polish commander in chief, Skt yznpcke, who was taised, as it will be remembeied, from a subordinate station to the chief command, for hi distinguished services in ihe rontestsof February .has proved himself worthy of the distinction confeiP'd upon him, and fully equal to ihe important trusts confided 1o him.

He qui tied Warsaw I during ihe night of the oOih M uch and I attacked, at Wawer, the coi ps of gen. Geismar, who were there ent rent lied in very strong and advantageous positions. By litis bold and skilful movement upon the Russian:-, the Polish generalissimo was enabled to sarpii-" iheir army of observation, and beat it hack upon the corps of gen. linen, which was in its turn overwhelmed and driven upon that of gen. Gei?m ir. All the Ruiau positions were carri - ed bv storm in detail. Oa ihe 1st of April the divisions of Rosen and Geismar were brought aaiu to bailie, and an cflieer w ho set out from the camp, as early as half past one o'clock on thai day and arrived at Warsaw at 5, reported that before he left they had made 2,000 prisoners, among whom were many general officer. They h:d also taken six cannon and magazines and muskets. Whole battalions laid down their arms in the battle of the 3lst March. This is supposed to be the first time that ;uch an occurrence ever look place in Russian regiments. These brilliant affairs resulted in a loss lo the lluesiiins of 6,000 killed and
wounded, 0,000 prisoner, 15 pieces of of cannon, several thousand stand of muskets and 2 standard?, and 15 wagons filled with ammunition. The Russian divisions under Geismar and Rosen were in lull retreat, hardly pressed by the victorious at my of Skryznccki, while that under Deibistch, the commander in chief, at bis head quarters of Sieneca was cut oil b) thv Polish coips which had been despatched on the line ot the ling lo meet itihrough the Palatinate of Auustowo.

A horrible murder had been perpetrated by the peasantry of ihe county of Clare, Ireland. On Klcr Monday, a tmlyda) in the country, the police of Dalen were informed that the insurgents were actively engaged in admiaisleiing unlawful oaths to the peasant ty. Five police-men proceeded in search of l lie insurgents, and ai a ceitain house found two men atlminUlering the whheboy oath to its inmales. These two were made ptisonei s, ami weie being brought lo D.den, in custody, when Uie countrv people assembled in great numbers, and allocked the police wilh stones. The police retreated, hut being pursued by ihe mob, who continued to assault them, were ultimately compelled to commence firing, which they continued as long as they had any ammunition. The live polieemen were finally overcome ai d stoned to death.

naturally imagine, he escaped through one of his back windows, leaving his wife and family in the house, and made a precipitate retreat to this city for such assistance as would be necessary to secure the ungrateful guest which obtaining, he returned, when lo! the young man had retired, cairxing with him not only Mr. WVs wife but his horses and carriage, a bag of money , and a double barrelled cun, and his servant girl, since which nothing "has been heard of them.
