ILawrcnccbursIi, Jwlv 23. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE f ,r president A-TDIw-fW JACZES027. Martin Stezcart, esq. candidate for representative, we undergiand has resigned his cilice of j'isuce of the peace id Randolph township We omitted to notice last week that! John je,y.candidate for county com mi'sioner in district No. 1, has resigned his office as justice of the peace. The Globe of the 9th inst. announces the appointment of Lac is Cass, of Ohio, to be Secretary of war. The appointment of this gentleman, we believe, gives very general satisfaction. His acquaintance with the Indians and Indian affairs, superadded to his other superior qualifications as a scholar and public officer, renders his appointment at this time peculiarly gratifying to the public. Indian War. We learn from the Illinois Advocate that the difficulty with the Indians, assembled near Rock Island, in the Mississippi, lins been adjusted by gen. Gaines, and the volunteer troops dismissed to return heme. No blood, it seems, was Fpilt by the new levies, who are rather in a bad humor at the issue. We learn from the New Albany and Charlcstown papers, that jude James Scott has declined standing a poll for governor. From what we can learn this event will greatly assist judge Read. The counties of Clark, Washington, Harrison and Floyd, where judge Scott would have received his principal support, will now unite pretty unanimously on judge Read. The rain storm which occurred here a short timo since, appears to have been equally violent through Ohio and Pennsylvania. On tho low bottoms along the small streams the sudden overflow has done much damage to grain, mills, and bridges. In many instances the water attained a height unprecedented by any flood recollected by the oldest inhabitants. We take pleasure io noticing tho addition of n 6pleodid and spacious Stage Coach on the lino from this place to Cincinnati. It was built in Cincinnati, by one of the best workmen in tho western country, and purchased by tha entorprizing contractor Mr. J. D. Cummins, of this place, for tho special accommodation of passengers h"i3 old one;proving too email for the purpose. Two years since, when Mr. Barry came into oflise, about nine mails arrived weekly at this place on horse-back; since that timo wo have bad an increase, and on the following routes they are carried in stacrc?, viz: Three times a week to Cincinnati; twice a week to Brookville and north; and once a week to -Indianapolis. Tho travel, particularly on the Indianapolis and Cincinnati routes, has greatly increased within tho last 6 or 8 months. The 6tago from tho former placo has frequently moro applications for passage than, it can accommodate; and Mr. Cummins, on the lino to Cincinnati, ha3 on Bevernl occasions sent an additional carriage to accommodate travellers. With the addition of his new establishment, he can convey in both stages about 25 passengers at a trip, and in the new one alone 15, without inconvenience. The troubleand expenso incurred by Mr. Cummins in fitting up his 6tage establishment havo been considerable; but wo feel pursuaded he will be amply repaid for all, in tho increasing and already very considerable patronage extended to him by travellers and our citizens in particular. Hundreds of dollars which formerly passed from our village into tho pockets of unthankful and unaccommodating steam boat owners for passages, will now be 6aved at home, to the encouragement of our farmers and mechanics. This fact is worth recollecting. Mr. Ingham, since hi arrival at his old residence in Pennsylvania, has made one or two speeches, in which he treats freely of his diiliculties with Mr. Eaton. He makes no mention r.or does he allude to any interforanco on the part of the president to compel the uivr of tho ex-secretari-9 to aesocialo with Mrs. Eaton. The story that he had used his authority for this purpose, was gotten up by tho enemies of the president, who have as yet failed to sustain it by any proof. The public may safely pronounce it a base fabrication. The story of Mr. Danelsor,' dismissrd, ns private secretary to the president, because his lady would not visit Mrs. Kiton, h also untrue. Mr. Doiielson, who now is r.n a visit to Tennessee, intends to return to Washington in the fall with h4d family.

TJ ! our ci,iz,i'.'s', V" rcl,,i02 10 the disturbances created here on Sunday la?f, by a largo number of person? ire ui v. uici'i ijfi 1 1 l HQ toiiuuHjUi iiie rioters, as detailed by tho meeting and admitted by all a3 nothing exaggerated, must appear to tho public aa highly improper, and deserving of punishment. The meeting, it will be observed, has made no mention of name?, though several of the rinleader3 of the mob are known to our citizens, as men of 6om? ,w a home ?od "hcse weaim Gives mem an Itn cives mem an importance which neither their good conduct nor character entitle them to. We regret that circumstances should require a public expression of the light in which our citiz ens uew the conduct of ibo rioters; and the more eo, as the expression j not being specifically confined to the guilty, may seem to extend to the innocent. This was fully considered in the meeting, and it was found impracticable to give the proceedings a difinitc direction ; but that such general exceptions should be made as justice seemed to require. The conduct of the captain of the Philadelphia was strangely at variance with the responsibilities of the station he occupied. Instead of attending at the boat to preserve order, we are assured ho took a conspicuous part in parading tho streets, in company with the most noisy and diicrdeily of his passenger?. From our cwn observation wc feel confident that all tho diUiculty at tho river might haro been prevented by the interference of tho officers of tho hoat. The boys on shore were restrained some titoc by col. Spencer, the sheriff, from resenting the insults of those on the hurricane deck; but no person appearing to hold tho boys on the boat in check, it was found impossible to avoid the consequences which followed in which uot only the boys, but many men took part. As regards our own citizens, though thero were many small children within tho range of the stones thrown, none were injured. On tho boat wc learn there were several huit ono or two dangerously. It may not be amiss to add that this "i3 not the first Sunday's visit our town has been honored with, by a mixed multitude from Cincinnati; but at no time, though some acted bad enough, were they quite eo disorderly. We hope when the next similar visit is projected, they will be good enough to give a few days' notice to the "Iloosher," that tbey may bo prepared to receive them with proper attention. Mr. Gregg asks us to correct an error (13 he calls it) in relation to the sum received by Gen. Noble as Receiver of public moneys. General llanna, who was an officer In the land oifire with Gen. Noble, say s be received "10 or 15000 from the public crib ;M Mr. Gregg 6ay3 he ony received about 5000. Now, between Mr. Gregg and Gen. Hanna be it; we have no disposition to exaggerate the sum Gen. Noble received from the public purse. But why is Mr. Gregtj so particular about the amount Gen. N. has received? In speaking of this matter a short time since, Mr. Gregg said he did not allude to the amount of the salaries Gen. M'Carty and Judge Head were receiving; but wished to combat the principle of holding one office and grasping at another. Now if there is nothing in the amount of the salaries, why is Mr. Gregg bo particular about Mr. Noble's? The reason is plain : It turns out that Gen Noble holds an oiiice too, and on the principle, standa just on a level with Head and M'Carty. To be consistent Mr. Gregg should oppose Gen. Noble, instead of trying to make a noise about a thing he has declared of no importauco. On Thursday evening last our town v.a9 visited by Mr. Gregory, candidate for lieutenant governor, & Mr. Smith, candidate for congress. About 5 o'clock they favored the citizens with a brace of intellectual pot-pies, familiarly, known by the name of stump speeches. Mr. Gregory took the lead, and in a speech of about 1-1 an hour, entertained his hearers tolerably well. Mr. Smith then mounted the box, (no slump being convenient) and held forth for about one hour. He travelled over the old track, exclaiming against partyism and the 'question" plead a little for the United .States' liank, for which, we understand, he is attorney speke of his competitors, and particularly of a certain Jonathan M'Carty, who he feemed to intimate was too much in favor with the friends of the administration for his hking. lie concluded by assuring his hearers that his prospects ofsuecess were flattering, but should he be defeated he would sliil remember thetn with feelaigs of friendship. The editor of the Statesman, in bis paper of yesterday, Bays not a word about the congressional election. Two weeks ego he was f)r Judge Test; last week for Mr. Smith, and this week he says nothing about either. Jkes he give it up that Gen. M'Carty will be elected, or is he in doubt which of the Clay candidates to support? We hope be will find, cut in or 3 weeks who he is for. On our first page we give an article from the Indiana Democrat, in relation to gen. Noble's salary as Koad Commissioner. The Indiana Journal comments on the article from the democrat, and introduces the following letter from the state treasurer to show that gen . Noble's salary is not as large as represented. Treasurer's Ojicc, July 14, 1831. Messrs. Duglass &, Maguire: In answer to your request for a statement of the amount of money drawn by N. Noble for his services on the Michigan road, and also the arnont of ironey expended under his direction whilst performing those services, I submit the following items which arc all that have been paid from the treasury:

Paid N.Noble on his audited

warrant " S. Sedwick " N. Davis 44 John Pogue " II. Brady 44 John Cain 130 12 40 50 40 50 18 00 54 00 3 50 206 G2 The above, with sb 59, paid from the contingent fund for punting, are all the expenditures from the treasury on account of the Michigan road, in any way connected with gen. Noble, and he had co interest in ai y part of the ubove hut the first item. A puDiic meeting of trio citizens cf the town of Liwrenceburgh, was held at Mr. Hunt's Hotel on tho 10ih inst. to express their opinion end disapprobation of the conduct of a large number of persons who came from Cincinnati to this place on Sunday last, in the Steam boat Philadelphia. IV. slrvistrcmrr e!q, was called to the Chair and E. K Test appointed secretary. A committee cf five persons wa3 appointed to draft end submit, od the next evening, a report and resolutions, expressive of tho object of tho meetirg; when tho meetin" adjourned to the next evening. The meeting convened pursuant to appointment, when the committee reported the following preamhh and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: The committee appointed by this meetiug cn yeiterday evening, That they have had tho subject, submitted to them, under consideration, and from tho evidence of credible witnesses, supported by their own observation, they feel warranted in giving the following statement of the late outrageous and disorderly conduct cf a large number of persons from Cincinnati, who came to thi3 place, on Sunday last in the Steam boat Philadelphia. The boat passed this placo about noon, under full headway, colours flying and a band cf music cn board. In about ono hour and a half sho returned up the river and landed, when -1 or 500 persons came ashore, preceded by tho music, and paraded tha street?. Many were in a high state of intoxication, nnd disregarding the common restraints of decency, behaved in the most blackguard and rullian-liko manner. In one instance a number of them entered, uninvited and unasked, into tha private dwelling of ono of our citizens, and in the most rudo and insulting manner appropriated the sitting room to themselves. Tho owuer alarmed at tho intrusion, took the precaution to faiten the kitchen door, or ho believes they would have entered and ransacke d it in quest of something to sato their thursty and craving appetites. They nlso visited the public houses, where the most disgraceful und riotous acts were committed. In ono they called for provisions and drink and after being furnished with both left tho house without paying the fare. They attacked and threatened to break open a grocery store, but were prevented from affecting their object by the resolute conduct of the keeper. They committed many other acts, hoth in violation of our laws and profanation of the Sabbath, which wo shall pass over in silence. When tired of parading the streets, a movement was made, and tho music striking up a merry nir, the cavalcade marched to tho boat, whither nearly all who had come ashore, were makiug their way to embark. About this time a fracus commenced with stones, originaling, as is believed, with thoe on the hurricane deck of the bent, and soma boya on shore, and spread tviib great fury for a fow moments, when the assailants made a ruth from the boat, and those on shore gave way and dispersed. The stones throw n from tha shore, were invariably directed aicit those who commenced the attack on the hurricane deck. The conduct of the persona who left the boat in this assault, was outrageous in the extreme. They nssaiied the Peace Oflicers present, who had exerted their utmost to repress the affray, with abusive language and personal violence, threatening to cut them to pieces in a moment, if they dared to molest or interfere frith them. After swaggering about a short time, swearing aud cursing what they would do, ar,u not eeeinr anv hut nrarfnhl nnd orderly people to quanvt with they retired or rather itngg-retl to the boat, which soon alter put out unmoles ted, though it was strongly urged that the indignity clM-red should not thus easily bu suffered to pass unpunished. Your committee ieel called upon in justice to say that there were man very respectable citizens on board the Philadelphia, who, they believe, took no pait io the disgraceful scene on Sunday last, and who were not only ashamed of the conduct of their fellow passenger?, but Eorry they were found iu such bad company. Your cnmsiiiiiee would advise the adoption of the following resolutions: AV so (vet I , That we vie. v the conduct of many of those riutjrs who landed

from the Philadelphia, at' this place on

Sunday last, as a high handed and open insult offered to our village, and the laws of the State, & as meriting the excratiou cf every member of civilized society,aDd deserving tha most exempla ry punishment. Resolved That the proper nut hori- j lies be requested to use every exertion j to ascertain the principals in tho laic riot at tho river, that they may he pros-1 lavv. Resolved, That these proceeding be signed by the Chairman and Secretary and published in the newspapers oi this village; and that the E liters of the National Republican, and Gazette, Cincinnati, ba requested to publish ihem. W. ARMSTRONG, Chfn. Edward F. Test, Sec'y. For the Palladium. Mr. EditcrOns of the fundamental prin ciples of a free government, is the freedooi of j tho press. In representative governments tha peopla have a right to nominate who Bh&!l ba candidates for cilices in the gift of tha peopla. The people too have a right t3 censura the conduct of aspiring and design ing dcaagoiTues, who would effjf to infrin ge aton their rights in any shape or form whs ever. Ia conformity with tho foregoing msTirrn. I nddrpssprl Mr Grfcfor thrmiirh your columns, exposing tha unfairness and injustico obriously displayed in announcing - - , - - - - - --ro 0 M. Stewart esq. as a candidate to represent this (Dearborn) county in tha next state legislature, i.ir. i.regg is mgniy uispietS2j that any one should have tha presumption to call in question the correctness of his course , t . r '.I'll i- I ! or tho ruritp cf his motives In this ffjir; and has thrown out a volley of abuse, representing me &3 being a base calumniator, and as being destitute of moral principles, &.e. Tbcso epithets however, eoiinating from uch a scarce, ara not to be regarded. I bare loa since been taught to believe that surmise and general abuse, clothed In however elairant hriruage, ouht not to pass for procf. Mr. Gregg has besn Bt a loss tocoflj-0ture it baa Caall? COD33 to who tha writer is, but bus fia&IIy the conclusion thtt ha ib the fiiend or representative of Mr. Stewart. Now, although, I am on friennly terms with Sir. Stetvart, as well as al! tho other candidates, I am personally acquainted with, yet I cm not to be regarded ai being emphatically hi 'friend, and in no point of view as hia representative but 83 the friend and advocate of correct principles and tha rights of the people. But whether I am tha friend or enemy of Mr. Stewart, matters not in th3 case before us. Mr. Gregg stands charged with unfairnes3, partiality and an attempt to prevent tho peopla from nominating a candidate whom (hey wished to bring forKard. Now to substantiate this charga there i9 nothing more wanting than Lis own confessions and acknowledgement. Uo owns tbt tha names of esqr. Stewart and doctor Haines verrt both forwarded to him for publication, before ho gonouocftd cither cf themj that ho delayed publishing either for a week, not knowing which tho ptopla would prefer. Now it is plainly to ba infered from this that ho considered himself fully authorized to announce Mr. Stewart, elsa why delay a weel to detertnins which should coma out? If ha was fully authorized to announce one of tha gentlemen, arid net authorized at all to announce tho other, upon what principle did ha delay j it, after Waiting a week andjreceiving no far ther information from llandoiph? He presumed to decide for tho p-joplo who hou!d bo their candidate, thereby disregarding the wishes of that portico cf tho people who was solicitlous the ether gentleman should be brought cut. And when ho found himself under the necessity cf announcing Mr. Stewart, bo showed evident unwillingness to do so, and accompaned his annunciation with sundry remarks calculated to injuro him in the opinion of the peopla. Again his refusing to publish all tho documents relating to this BlTair. which ha holds in Lis rosstssion. j 5ho?a evidence cf his being guilty, not of i hurglary, fdeny cr a breach cf the peace, but of unfairness, and a course altogether inconsistent with one who boasts so n.uch of his political honesty, impartiality and fjchngs of con cious rectitude. But here this correspcndr--.ee stnll close on my part. Had Mr. (ieg'i,' publiihed the letters. called for, the case might hive appeared in a more iita'd manner I owe an apology to those whose names I have had occasion to make use of, for the liberty which I hu e taken ; if I have been the meanj of injuring either of them (which lam not sensible of,) 1 can only say that I am sorry for it, aj it was not my intention to do so. 1 considered the pecp'e'a rights trampled on, I viewed it as a dangerous precedent, and I feel conscious of having- discharged my .duty in giving my opinion.i 'u!tr rj dianuo'ih township.
