07 We havebeeu n quested to announce John Levixgston, esq. of IIrlford, as a candidate for probate judge at the ensuing election. Judge Jimes G. Read, the administration candidate for governor, will visit our town on Monday next, and addreBs such of his fellow-citizens as shall think properto give him their attention. To day he will address the voters in Manchester township. The law creating the office of probate jidge, makes it necessary for candidates to procure a certificate of qualification from one or more of the judges of the circuit or supreme courts, before election, ft perhaps would be well for each of the candidates to publish a copyfof such;certificale, for the information of the public. The Madison papers announce James H. Scott, Wm. C. Keen, George Craig and William Cotton, a3 candidates to represent Switzerland county in the popular branch of the next legislature. John Dumont and Merit S. Craig are announced as candidates for the state eenate,in the district composed ofSwitzerland and Ripley counties. Enoch M'Carty is announced for the Benate, and Daniel St. John, Geo. Sutton, B. S. Noble, John Reid and Geo. L. Deibler for representatives, in Franklin county. Gen. Robert Hanna, in a short note to the editor of the Indiana Democrat, declines standing a poll for congress in the 2d district of this state. The voters of the district, have still however plenty of the "raw material" to select from there being no less than 7 candidates in the field for congress, viz: John II. Thompson, Isaac Howk, Seth H. Leavenworth, John Carr, Jonathan Jennings, James B. Ray, and Wm. W. Wick. Carr and Jennings are understood to be friendly to the present administration and its measures; the other candidates are opposition, or have no. political opinions pending au election. The Cincinnati papers incline to the opinion that Mr. Peters, whose body was taken up in the Oaio at this place on the 12th ult.came to his death by entering the water in his sleep. He was seen late on the night of the 9.1), after which ho was not heard of until his body wasfour,d. We are sorry that the crowded state of our columns will not permit the insertion to-day, (according to n quest) of Mr, Gregg's "lucid" (loosed ?) to "A voter of Randulph township,-9 published in our last. We shall ny to comply with his request next week, if that will answer. Public debt. On our first page we insert a well written article, exhibiting the payments made on the public debt by the last and present administrations. The assertion made by Mr. Smith in his stump-speeches here, (that the president is not entitled to any praice for the yearly payments on this debt,) is finely met and controverted. Mr. Smith assumed, that as congres3 had Bet apart 10,000.000 of dollars annually for reducing the public debt, the president had nothing to do with its payment. So far as the 10,000,000 go, nil will agree with Mr. S.; but at ihe fame time it should be recollected that the preside.it is empowered by law to apply the surplus revenue, over a certain amount, to (he payment of the public debt, and the amount of this surplus depends on a rigid and judicious management of the public funds by the president. It appears by the report of the commissioners of the sinking fund, that Jackson not only paid the $10,000,000 set apart by law, but by his economy, in the public rxpenditure, added to it upwards of three millions in two years. Will any one say lie is not entitled to some praise fjr this saving to the government? We shall not trouble our readers with useless comments, as the article fully aud plainly explains itself. The lack of room prevented us last week from noticing as fully as w-wished, Mr. Gregg's affected explanation in the Statesman of the 24lh. Ii that arti cle he assumed it as a f.irf tn i..r gen. M'Carty, that he resigned a lucra- i . : rY . . I ive omce and travelled twice to Washington for the land office appointment at Fort Wayne. What post or office did gen. M'Carty relinquish, to procure the land office? Mr. Gregg's head i so swelled with stnipglintfidee?, that he is ever and anon gelling hold of the wrong ones. Gen. M'Cn ty, if we recollect right, resigned a clerkship in Fayette, when he run for congas in 1S23, but held no office since urn! appointed receiver. Mi. G. next charges the general with ambitiously seeking

n feat in congren. If it be ambition to honor the wishes cf ones friends, then is gen. M'Carty ambitious: for it is well known that it was only on the most urgent solicitation that he consented to run for congress at this time. Straitened in circumstances, and knowing the expense and difficuliies of a campaign through the district, which the custom of the limes has made almost necessary, he was backward in

sigtiif) ing his assent to run; nor did he; give it, until his Iriends urged il on the ground that in the canvass of 1828, he had been beaten by a combination on the part of his opponents, and now owed it to himself and to them, to expose the "malign ii.fi jericeV' which controlled that election, and give the public an opportunity to resent the insult cflkred them through him. The effort to injure the general will, we think, have little force with his friends. Some perhaps who have proceed to be fiiends of the administration, may excuse themselves for opposing gen. M'Carty, because he holds the Fort Wa yne office; but this number we believe will be few. Between the 4 candidates for congress in this district no one has received less from the public purse than the general, and none need3 it more. Mr. Gregg affects to consider him rich! Not long since this some Mr. G. affected to consider the general a bankrupt, and expressed some self complacency that he had been enabled to extract 9 from the general in payment of a punting account. But such is the consistency of the editor of the Statesman, who has set himself up to dictate terms and opinions to the people of this district. Mr. Gregg inquires where we got the information that Geo. Noah Noble has received 10 or 15,000 of public money. Will Mr. Gregg allow the late register of the land olhee at Indianapolis, to be good authority in this mattei? If so, then we would say he has published the information over his prop, r name. But if Mr. G. objects to this evidence, then we would icfer hirn to the book.of the land Ulice, Mr. G. sa s Gen. Noble held the ohice between 3 and 4 ) ears, hut inste-d of stating the amount he actually received, Mr. G. under lakes to tell the people about a defalcation, whir!) he, the General, had to make good. We know nothing of this mallei ; Sz if it really ever t xiHed, we think that a decent regard lor the memory of a respected fellow-citizen, should have shrouded it in oblivion. 1 he diarize of defalcation was nev r made we pre sume until after the death of L-zuui Noble, nor was there ever we o. Iieve a strict examination made into hss affairs, to ascertain its truth; had there been, kis highly .probable that the circumstances attending the case would have materially changed the appearances of thing. But it h not our purpose to dwell on this matter; if those whose piide it should be to guaid with ieligious sanctity the memory of a deceased friend, can pass over the indignity in silence, be it so the duly rests with them. We would now invite Mr. Gregg back to the question, or rather m ttu r! in dispute, li will be recollected that he, objected to Judge Read hf-cause he is in I the receipt of about ,$500 a year from !' the government. Presuming that this I was Ihe only objection, we attempted i to show that on the score of nuhlie nai. ronage,Gen. Noble and Judge Scott had received largely over either of the other candidates for governor; and this we repeat to be a fact, whether the Geneial received 5000, 10,000, or 15,- j 000 dollarsas receiverof pubiic moneys. ! mr. u. novvever explained that he did not refer to the amount each had re ceived. Why then hII the curving about the 10 or 15,000? Mr. G. cerlaiijyvcould not hope (..make the people believe that 500 is as much as 5 or 10,000. If Mr. Gregg is not sat... lied vuih the amount put down to Mr. Noble, we hope he will be good enough to stale it in round numbers, and then we can strike the balance between it and that received by Judge Read with more certainty. We would here remark, by the way, that it was not our intention to have taken any pait in the approching election for governor. The couise the editor of the Statesman has lately pursued has however made it necessary for us to overstep this resolution. Whenever he shall retiie from the contest we shall have done; hut while he continues in the field coi juriigup visionary objections to judge Read, mere ly oecause he is liiendly to gen. Jackson, we shall Consider it our privilege as well as pur duly, as 'hejcondnctnr of a press, to disperse the phantoms he may create to deceive the public. In doing this we shall endeavor to treat all ttie candidates with respect; and, diverging from the beaten track of the editor of the Statesman, pursue a course of truth ai.d fairness. Harvesting. Several of our farmers have commenced cutting the'r wheat and rve harvest The crops of both are unusually good in this part of the ktate, and if well secured will afford a plentiful supply cf the et,eotial article

in the consumption of every family. The prospect of an abundant crcp of corn is very flattering in this section. The river has risen several feet within the pa9t week, and is in good oider tor navigation. The editor of ti e Western Annotator gives the fol owing explanation in re ation to ihe distribution of juJge Head's circulars through th2 postoflise. "O.ie story dies very ue l until another is to d,' is a common saving, and one which will be admitted to contain some point, when the facts set forth by ihe Annotator editor are contrasted with the new-vamped attack made lately on j ulge Head by the edi tor of the Statesman of this place"The opposition papers are endeavoring to injure Judge Read, on account of some of his circulars having been sent to Postmasters for distribution. We, have made some inquiry with regard to the facts of the case, and find them to be these: Mr. Read left JelFersonville before all his circulars were printed, having requested a friend in that place to get and distribute them, without telling him how it should be done. This friend adopted the plan of sending some of them to postmasters as the most speedy and convenient mode, without knowing the Post-Office law, and without the knowledge of Mr. Read. As sullicient evidence that he believed he was doing nothing improper, it is only necessary to state the fact, that they were sent indiscriminately, to friends & foes of the Judge Had it been otherwise, he certainly would have had policy enough to have selected those who were friendly to the object he had in view, and not put a club into his enemies hands. Those Post masters who have returned them have complied with the law, and done but their duty; but we protest against this circumstance being used against Mr. Read, as we are assured he had no agency in the matter. His remedy vill be, to have others printed and circulated in a proper manner.

Z.MAN. JOHN P. DUNN, Committee Lavvienctbuigh, July 1831. TO THE PUBLIC. Being appointed by a public meeting of the 7th u!t. a committee to make suitable arrangements for celebrating the approaihing Anniversary of American Independence; and hav.ng, in pursuance of such appointment, pioceeded to make certain preliminary arrangements, which have been published in the papers of this place; we now take tins mode of informing the public that those proceedings are entirely annulled, s far as we are severally and collectively interested; and that we, as a Committee uf Arrangements disavow all connex;on with, and all manner of responsibility for. any proceedings which may be had on the occasion of our approaching Anniversary celebration in this place. In taking this course, it is due to ourselves, and those by whom we were appointed to state briefly, the reasons which induced us to decline actting as a committee. When we undertook the task of arranging the proceedings of the celebration, we were well aware of the existence of a spirit of discontent which only wanted a plausible pretext to array it?elf in open opposition. And hence, in all our deliberations, in the selection of our officers, and in the general arrangement of the exercises of the day, we endeavored" to pursue that course best calculated to disarm prejudice, reconcile conflicting interests, dispel every appearance of discord, and unite all our citizens in a bond of fellowship that they miht all participate together in the festivities of the day, without a j irring chord to interrupt the harmony of the scene. It seems, however, that oureilorts to unite and harmonize our citizens have proved unsuccessful; and J we are now reduced to the alternative of either abandoning the contempl?ited celebration, or of witnessing an array ofopposiiion among us, but illy calculated to inspire us with the noble feelings of patriotism which warmed the bosoms of our immortal sires on that ever-memorable day which we are wont to commemorate. We choose the former. A number of our citizens convened at the court house on Saturday last, when another committee was appointed, and other arrangements made, without any reference being had to the pro ceedings heretofore published ; and with an evident design to widen still further the little chasm which we were endeavoring to close. To coalesce now is utterly impracticable. Whether the proceedings of this meeting were inteniedas an insult of this committee, or to any of the officers of the day by

us oppointed ; or, as was remarked by a prominent mover of the nieellng.for the sake of opposition any hozv, we are not concerned to know. If the former, we freely forgive the intended insult if the latter, we envy not the happiness which the reflection will afford them. 'Phis determination, on our part, is not intended to affect the arrangements for the Sabbath School celebration. The committee who have that matter in hand, have made their own arrangements.
