PAILILABIUM.

Iiawrencelmrgh, March 17. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE for president AITDREOT JACKSON. The circuit court for this county, will Commence its sitting in this place on Monday the 2Gih inst. It is stated that a number of cases of the Small Pox has lately occurred in the city of P.tisbtirgh, The Commissioners of the Wabash and Erie Canal, agreeably to previous arrangements, commenced excavation on the hne of that important work, in the vicinity of Frt Wayne, on the22d tilt. A large number of persons assembled to witnes? the novel and interesting ceremonies of the day. An appropriate address was delivered by C. W. Ewing, esq.; who was followed by J. Vigus.esq one of the Commissioners, in a few pertinent remarks, prefatory to breaking the earth. On our first page we insert a certified copy of the "Act to incorporate the Lawrenceburgh and Indianapolis Rail Road Company." The books for receiving Stock will be opened in this place ion Monday the 25th inst., and from the spirit manifested and the confidence entertained in the practicability and speedy accomplishment of the work, we have little doubt but that a large portion of it will be taken by citizens of this county. We understand that a Jarge amount of the Cincinnati, Lawrenceburgh and St. Louis Rail Road stock has already been taken. The editor of the Statesman, in an article inserted in that paper one or two weeks since, censures Col. Boon for voting for a ratio of 49,OOO, alledging that had that number been fixed as the ratio of representation in congress, Indiana would have had but six members in the lower house, under the new apportionment, with a Jarge fraction over. Supposing that the editor would discover that he had committed an error, and (departing from the general course of his party) wou'd embrace an early moment to correct it and do Col. Uoon justice, we neglected to notice it at the time; but finding that he still neglects to correct bis article, we are induced, as the shortest waj, to direct his atten. tion to the following letter from Col. Uoon. At a ratio of 49, 00 J, Indiana, it appears, would have been entitled to seven members, with a very small fraction over; and hence in voting for it, our representatives acted correctly and for the best interests of the state. Washington. Feb. 10th, 1832. A. F. Morrison Esq. Sir in your paper of the 27th ultimo you have, (unintentionally no doubt,) mistaken the number of Representatives which the state of Indiana would be entitled to in Congress, under the Jate census, at a ratio of 49,000. -The representative population of Indiana, as reported by the Marshal to the otiice of the Secretary of State, and from thence to the House of Representatives, is 343,031, instead of341,5S2, a3 stated by you. From this statement, it will be seen that the state of Indiana would be entitled to seven Representatives in Congress, under the fifth census, at a ratio of 49,000 with a fraction of thirty. Should the ratio be fixed at 48,000, Indiana would be entitled to seven Representatives in Congress, with a fraction of 7,030. I deemed it necessary to make this statement of facts in order to prevent any erroneous impressions which might arise as to the course pursued by myself and colleagues on this interesting and perplexing subject. I have on all occasions voted with a view to sustain the relative strength of Indiana, and her sister states of the west. A ratio of 49,C00 is the one most favourable for Indiana; but if we cannot get our favorite number, we must, in this scramble for power, do the best we can. Your friend and ob't serv't. R. BOON. We have not yet seen all, nor lead any of Mr. Clay's last speech upon the tar.fiT. The editor of the Statesman says he has read it, and by way of preparing his readers for its reception, lie gives them the following as a kind of "bird's eye"' view of the thing itself: "His c;ip3cious mind seems to have collected and drank in the whole ocean of intelligence upon that subject, and now sends it forth through the proper channels in pure and limpid streams, watering, fructifying, and vivifying every department of social existence.'" Odds blood ! what a combination of cood things, all in one speech. u1Vho1e Oceans of intelhgejice," "pure and limpid streams, -watering, fructifying and vivifying," &e. Now, don't this beat everything ? After this we shall have no more high or muddy water; but the Ohio will be one great "pure and limpid stream," rippling along to the great fatlier of waters. "What a blessed thing it would have been had this speech been delivered two months ago it would have saved us, and oihers, a deal of scrubbing. The report that the Cholera had appeared in Mobile and New Orleans, we are assured, by a gentleman just arrived from the latter place, has no foundation in truth. On the 4th inst. the water was within 3 fact of high water mark at New Orleans. The great flood from the Ohio had not then g-ot down.

On looking over our files of papers we do nt discover that Congress is doing much of importance to the public. A few long winded speeches about the tariff, the U. S. Bank, the Indians and Indian affairs, and to disparage the administration, are all we see in the journals. This is the long session and very tew laws will be passed until near the end of it, (in June.) when the eratora have given over, and the busi ties s members have an opportunity to act. f The delegation from this state, we believe, are attentive to the interests of their constitu ents. The late suspension of our paper and the

diversion of our attention from ive affairs of the office, prevented a regular notice of the pro ceedings in which our members took a part, and in which our readers are more immediately concerned. We hope to be more attentive in future The editor of the Indiana Rcpublicnn, (Madison) is correcting the statements of some papers, in regard to the high water, which lie believes "are calculated to make a wrong impression on the public' in respect to that place. Alluding to a statement of the Indianapolis Democrat, of the damage done by the flood here and at Maif.sbn, the editor of the Republican observes "Lawrenceburgh has suffered, a ml suffercd severely, but Madison has not." Now this is all well enough on the side? of Madison, but we do not thank the editor for his explanations in regard to this place. His object of correcting "wrong impressions," might have been accomplished, one would imagine, hy confining his remarks to his own town. But this was not enough; lie must travel out of his road to give Lawrenceburgh a side wipe, without, we venture to assert, knowing any thing about the situation of the place or the damage it has sustained by the ilood. One thing, however, he is certain of, and that is, Lawrenceburgh is becoming a "most convenient point on the Ohio rrtT,"for trade, and this it is, we opine, that inclines the editor to be so particular in recounting our "severe sulferirig. We have not attempted to injure or disparage the flourishing town of Madison, by telling the hundred and one stories of her losses. No, we have not even said a portion of that elevated village was covered with water, and a number of buildings swept from their foundations we have not said that the losses in that town have exceeded those of tlie citizens of Lawrenceburgh. No, but have left the task of stating these things to those who do, anil ought to know more about them than we do; and would humbly crave to be allowed the sainc privilege. We have two papers in this place, and to these, as the most proper, we hope our neighbor of the Republican will confide the correction of all statements "calculated to make a Wrong impression on the public," as regards the effects of the high water in Lawrenceburgh The editors of the Madison Herald have done us the favor to say, that our citizens did not "flee to the hills," but betook themselves to the upper stories of their houses. In Senate of the U. States, Feb. 0, 1832. Mr. Tipton, from the committee on Public Land, reported the following bill; which was read, and passed to a second reading: A Mill To authorize the Legislature of the State of Indiana, to sell and convey certain lands granted to said State, for the use of the people thereof. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America i:i Congress Assembled, That the Legislature of the state of Indiana be, and is hereby authorized to sell and convey, in such manner, and on such conditions, as said Legislature shall by law direct, the following described tracts of land heretofore granted and set apart for the use of said state, namely: sections numbered thirteen, progressively to thirty-six inclusive; section sixteen, excepted, in township numbered two, north of range two, west; and sections numbered one to twelve, progressively and inclusive, in township one, north of range two, west; and the northeast quarter of section numbered fourteen, in township seven, north of rane two, west ; and the northwest quarter of section numbered twenty-six, in township one, north of range five, west, in the Vincennes district; likewise, section fifteen, in township two, north; section twentyeight, in township three, north of range four, east; and fractional section, numbered thirty-one, in township nine, north of rango two, east, of the Jcffersonvillc district; and to apply the proceeds of said" sale, to the purposes of education. Senate, of the United States, Feb. 27. Mk. TirTox presented a resolution of the Legislature of the state of Indiana, instructing the Senators and requesting the Representatives from that state to use their exertions to procure the passage of a law providing for a more perfect organization of the militia of the United States Mr. Tiptox also presented a resolution from the Legislature of Indiana, instructing their Senators and requesting their Representatives to use all honorable means to obtain the passage of a law granting pensions to all the surviving officers and soldiers of the revolution. Mr. Tiptox presented two memorials from the Legislature of Indiana, mavino1 7 x j 1. For a grant of land for the purpose of constructing a canal to connect White river with the Wabash at the town of Vinccnnes, and 2. For a grant of land for the purpose of constructing a road between the southern bend of the St. Joseph's river and the state line of Indiana, which were appropriately referred. Mr. Tiptox submitted the following resolutions: Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treasury be requested to report to the Senate the quantity of public lands within each

state that have been offered and remain un- i

old: staling the time when each district oft lands were oilered for sale, and the quantity j ot public lands witlnn eacn state mat nave not been ofiered for sale. Resolved, That the Committee on Public Lands be instructed to enquire into the expediency of relinquishing to the states, respectively, the lands of the United States, within the limits of each state, on the principle laid down by the Secretary, in his report to the present congress. Mr. Hexdricks submitted die following resolution, on the 23th Feb: Resolved, That the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads be instructed to enquire into the expediency of establishing a Post Road from Williamsport, Warren county.-Indiana, by the way of Lebanon to Danville, in the state of Illinois. The following resolution to which allusion was made in our paper last week was submitted in the house of representatives, by Mr. M'Carty, on the 6th ult. Resolved, That the committee on the post office and post roads be instructed to inquire into the expediency of establishing a post route from Riclmiond in Indiana, by Washington and Muncvtown to the treatv ground on the Wabash; also from Lawrenceburgh by Cambridge, York Ridge, Hughes's Store, German Village, Sunrnaivs mill, and George's, on Salt Creek, to Rushvill; alo, from Florence, by Burlington, Kentucky, to Rising Sun, in Indiana. Logansport, March Wabash Canal. It will be seen, by a reference to another column, that an actual commencement of the Wabash and Erie Canal, was made on the 22d ultimo. The 22d of February, 1S32, will therefore, be marked as an epoch in the history of Indiana it will be rgvered by every patriot, not only as the birth day of the Father of his country, but the birth day of the great cause 'of internal improvement, in Indiana. This will be welcome intelligence to the friends of the cause at home av.l abroad, for who, that has the love of iiis country at heart who wishes to sec it prosj)crous, happy and independent, will not rejoice to learn, that the obstacles which have been thrown in the way, by the enemies of the Canal, have all at length, been surmounted that the doubts and fears, entertained by its friends, are dissipated and that the work itself is now commenced with a prospect of a speedy accomplishment ? Times. Titissionaries. On Saturday morning, March 3, Chief Justice Marshall delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of the Missionaries, Worcester and Butler, imprisoned in the Penitentiary of Georgia. This opinion declares, the law of Georgia, and the sentence pronounced under it, to be mill and void, being repugnant to the constitution, laws, and treaties, of the United States. Judge McLean also delivered an able and elaborate opinion, concurring in the decision of the Court. Judge Baldwin dissented. He considered that the cause was not before the court, because the transcript of the record was certified only by the clerk, the Judge of the State court not having certified a return to the writ of error. He has referred to his opinion last term, as evincing his 'dissent on the whole merits. Cincinnati Gaz. The editor of the Pensacola Gazette snvs, tnat he has been politely favored by captain Percival of the U. S. schr. Porpoise, with Jamaica pipers to the 28th ult. in which ii is stated that the revolting blacks had been subdued, and returned to work. The fanatical preachers are supposed to have been the cause of the revolt, and 3o,000 slaves were engaged in it, all of whom had been dispersed, scattered and driven to the mountains Slaves that, were before the revolt, worth more than cfJ100 had fallen to 15 or 30. The island had been saved hy the judicious location of the licet and the active exertions of Admiral Colpovsand Com. Faquier. Through the exertions of our consul at New Granada, an arrangement had been made to reduce the duty on American Flour per bbl. and also to reduce the duty on other American products. N. O. Emporium. Mr. Clay held forth this in one of his speeches in the Senate : "Ask the mother and her children whose dependence was on the proscri bed husband and father, what mercy was shown to them by the majority ol which the honorable Senator is an influ ential member;" (Gen. Smith of Alaryland.) Such language from Mr. Clay is vronderoas pitiful. Who was it that took from the Widow Bailey, of Philadel phia, the Custom house printing and gave it to John Birms the author of the forced Harris letter, Coffin handbills and Alonumental inscriptions?

Business, generally speaking, has revived since our last, and un now he considered decidedly brisk. We hope sincerely, that the change may be permanent. The weather, as if to favor this desirable consummation, has continued favorable for business transactions. The Mississippi continues at about the same stage. Cotton. Large operations have been made this week, chiefly for English account. The sales, arrivals, and exports all equal, if

they do not exceed those r-f any previous week this season. Th"y are as follows: Sales of alMjut 10,000 bales, exports 13,358 bales, and arrivals 12,040 bales. Stock now on hand, including all on ship-board, not cleared 33j55 bales. Sugar. In the city this article has found ready sale at a small advance: Lots of superior quality have been taken readily at Gi a Gh ; and yesterday a prime crop of Attakapas was held at 7 cents on the Levee, which price the sellers were confident they could without difficulty obtain. The last advices from the North are rather encouraging, and an improvement looked for. On plantation, the last sales we hear of were made at 5 and 5f cents, but were not very extensive. Cleared this week, 081 lihds. wholly for Charleston and New York, except 9 hhds. for Mobile. The quantity sent up the river by

Died, at Portland, Maine, on the 30:h January, James JS'eal, a member of the j society of Friends, aged 64. On a slip of paper lying in an open drawer, this anecdote was found written off in his own hand. "In the time of much religious excitement and consequent discussion an honest old farmer of the Mohawk was asked his opinion as to what denomination of christians were in the right way to heaven. "Veil den, said he, we ride our wheat to Alpany, some say dis is de pest read, and some say dat is de pest, but I dink it dont make much tifieience which roat we dake, for uhen we get dare dev never ask us which wav we cume, an' it is none of deir pizziness, j our veat is goot "Singular Interposition. A lady had a tame pet bird, which she was in a habit of letting out of its cage every day. One morninir, as it was picking crumbs of bread off the carpet, her cat who always before shewed great kindness for the bird seized it in a sudden, and jumped with it in her moulh upon a table. The lady was much alarmed for the safety of her favorite, but on turning instantly discovered the cause. The door had been left open, and a strange cat had just come into the room. After turning it out her own cat came down from the place of safety, and dropped the bird, without doing it the the smallest injury. " M AUWi&l) On the 23 ot FeoVhy l v A J. Cotton.
