For the Palladium. Fellow-Citizen's of Da-innoRV Cott.vty : Feeding es I ever have a ctecp and lively interest in the welftre of my township, county and state, and believing that lhr prnyer iit forth -in th? petition below, if pr inted, would ha conducive to tint end, I Ine resolved to as3tun3 ths responsibility of presenting th.3 sim3 to th? Legislature of this

state st us present session; ana in order to produce general harmony and concert throughout ths several townsh'ps in the coiinlV. frlso to inve 1 flir r.nnnr'nnifv to

- . - - i i j those whoiniy feci thus disposed , to remonstrate, I have thought best to liy the petition thus before yon and warmly solicit your concurrence. And I would sugg st that the petition bo taken out of the p ipers and pasted or scaled to writing paper suit .11 3 to tha reception of petitioners, and that they be

forwarded from each township to our representatives from this county a3 early as the middle- of lha session. Let every mm who receives a pip?r act; and when these several petitions which may be circulated thro1 each townslrp shall have received their full amount of petitioners, bt them "be sent to ths post naas'er of each township or an adjoining township, who are hereby respectfully requested to transcribe all of their names on one copy of said petition and forward th? same by mail without delay. Fellow-citizens, I am no! propelled to thisjneasure through vanity and vain glory, but by an ardent desire to render you a service, the taunts and jeers of som ; to the contrary, notwithstanding. I shrink from no responsibility when the path of duty is made plain. Yours &c. A. J. COTTON. Manchester Dec. 3d, 1S32. P. S. The petitioner's prayer being one in which both political parties feel an equal interest, Mr. Chrkson is respectfully requested to lay the same, together with tho communication, before h's readers, through the medium of his papery for their concurrence. A. J. C.

Manchester, Dec. 3d, 1832 To the. Honorable the Legislature of Indiana The unders'gned citizens of Dearborn County, and state n fores rid, do respectfully petition that the following proposed amendment to tho act incorporating townships in Dearborn Count, be adopted, to wit: That each township shall collect its own revenue for state, county and township purposes, and that tho Trustees of each townsiiip, at thair annual town meeting, sell the collection of

the same to the lowest bidder, who shall enter into bond in the penal sum of dollars, and give such security as may be approved of by tho township Trustees, and that each township collector, at the time be may pay the county revenue to the county Treasurer, be made also to pay over the State revenue, and that the county Treasurer pay the same over to the Treasurer of state. The grounds on which voir petitioners re3t their hope that their f rayer

will be heard, are first: they confidently believe lhat the state and county revenues would be collected at a much lower pcrj centage than now given by law. Secondly: the state and county revenues are now collected by a county collector, while the township revenue remains to be collected separately, a sum so inconsiderable as scare ly to be worth the collecting. If the amendment

above prayed for shall not be adopted, then your petitioners would most respectfully request that it be made the duty of the county collector tocollect the township revenue at the same time and in such manner as he my tho revenue for state and county purposes. And your petitioners will as in duty . bcuad, &c. From the Indiana Democrat, . STATE BANK. Public attention is being turned to the consideration of ths subject ofa State Bank, and it is presumable the present Legislature will discuss tho necessity and utility of such an insiitution. If the sentiments of the 'people in reference to a State Bank, accoid with the expression of the business portion of the community in this section of

country, there w 11 be very little opposition to the creation ofa Bank, if the General Assembly can be brought to an agreement up

on i!s details. The experience of former days must show the necessity of great prudence in the arrangement of such a Bank as will be safe and s dutary, and which will obtain the condnce of the people at home, and of the publ'c abroad. Many of the States of the Union are looking to the establishment of State Banks, as the means of furnishing their pccple with a "circulating medium, and if it be a great object with incorporated companies to have banking privileges, it would seem to be reasonable that states can also derive advantages from the same source, for if it be an object of pecuniary gain with individuals, a state may also very justly pursue the same cbjrct through the same means. A consid

eration with tho people would be, that a portion cf the profit of every dollar of bank stock would go into the coffers of the state, and contribute lo the needful funds for defraying the expense of government. That Legislator who is incompetent to remedy evils in some measure, or to guard ngainst future emergencies, can have but I'll itliO cl:um to business qualifications, and is but a poor repository of tho trust confided to Intn l y hrs fellow cit'zens: and because

rne State Bank has f died to be useful in Indiana, it dot snot establish the position that another, under different circumstances, rosy net produce different results. " .The State of Indiana has several valuable funds which require to be husbanded and incre?sed. Among these may be enumerated hf:r schoc!, college and road funds, rnd iheca r?re izt f:o;n being inconsiderable. I'he Ind.a.vf.l;3 iUKi?, the three p?rceii!.

and other funds, which will accrue toheri

use, should be placed in a situation of safe

ty, where they would yield the most income

to the I re 3' ivy, and tor (heir original purposes. The Caul Lands and M'chigin iload Lands, although s; optically designed, may be. mide to further the purposes of their dcs'gn by the hand ofa good financial foster-mother, and their usefulness much extended by making them available at all times. We would ask the question is it impossible for the State to take some measure wirch would place a circulating medium in the hands of those persons who have labored to procure Michigan Road Scrip, and which is reduced in value so as to be subject to a discount of from 25 to 50 p r cent? Could it not be funded, and bank notes issued upon it at from 5 to 10 per cent, whxh would greatly relieve its possessors, and enhance the value of the unsold lands? Inasmuch as the Bank of tho United States will probably soon wind up its concerns, it would seem advis tble that steps be taken to supply its stead with the best possible .substitute., and to the wisdom of the Legishture the people will look for a remedy. We may as well pay interest into the State Treasury, and reduce our taxes thereby, as to pay it to Eastern capitalists and foreigners. A portion of stock can be taken by the State, and a portion by individuals. The faith and credit of the State, based upon her funds and character can be pledged for the payment of all issues and no issue should be made without the most solvent securities, available at all times and subject to the most rigid supervision and restriction. A mother Bmk and Branches may accommodate the different sections of the State, and the funds of capitalists find an investment in Slate stock which would otherwise remain idle, or seek employment at usurious rates. The interest on money may bo made more uniform in the vicinity of Banks, and monopolies may be broken up by opening a door for guarded competition. Let it not be said that no good can come out of Nazareth, nor advantage from Binks; but let no Bank ever be brought into existance without tho most perfect solvency, and without the most cautious and deliberate restrictions of its charter, leaving

it only liberal enough to insure the taking of itsstock and the payment of its notes. On Friday, the 2d inst. a special term of the Circuit Court for Jo Daviess county, was held in this place, for the trial of Samuel McCulloucii charged with the murder ofLomxo Cleveland. His Honor Judge Young, presiding; Thomas Ford, Esq. State's Attorney. A Grand Jury was cmpannefled, and after retiring a short time, returned into court, a "presentment," prepared by the Slate's Attorney, for murder, "xot a true hill." No witnessappeared against the accused. On Saturday morning he was brought before the court, on habeas corpus, and discharged. Galer.ian.

Trial for Murder. At the October term of the United States Circuit and District Court in Tnwa county, held at Mineral Point the Hon. Divid Irvin prrsaling Matth-ew Beckett, a private soldier in the United States 1st Reganent Infuitry, was tried for the murder of Serg John Coffin, of the same reg't on 2d July last: he was convicted and sentenced to be hung on Friday 30th Nov. next his sentence will be carried into effect at Prairie du Chien, where he is now in confinement. The circumstances proved on trial, were, that on the 2d July, the soldiers had been paid off, and that Beckett got very much

intoxicated, and for that was put into the

gun re

house, where he remained until late

in the afternoon, who, upon being released,

ent into tho company quarters, where he fo'unda loaded musket that 2 or 3 soldiers were sent to disarm him, whom he threatened to shoot, but desisted upon their expostulating with him that Serg't Coffin came into the room, and went to a table to get something from its drawerthat he siid nothing Jo prisoner nor prisoner to him, until the prisoner raised and leveled the musket at him and asked if he wanted the load of that musket? and immediately fired and killed him instantaneously. Beckett, up

on being asked before the jury of inquest,

why he had done so, said he had an old grudge against Coffin. Coffin is represent ed to have been a worthy man, and most an excellent non-commissioned officer. Thus is added another melancholy instance on this frontier of cant of proper subordination, and of bloodthirstiness. This makes the 5lh or Gth victim murdered by soldiers in a few years. Galenian,

patriot, for the permanent settlement of this

question, upon a basis which I think ouht to be sitisfactory to both parties and in supporting which, the advocates of Free Trade would compromise no co.miiutional principle. Without reservation he expressed his entire appro!) ition of the principle upon which it was founded." Anxious to know upon what terms this vexed question might be settled in the opin ion of Mr. L. and parlicululy amidst the storm which seems gathering from South Carolina, we took tin liberty of addressing a line to him, requesting some information upon the project he had submitted. He has been kind enough to make the following reply Which we lay before our readers for their consideration: TO THE EDITOilS OF THE EXtiL'IIiEIt. Dear Sirs I have received your letter rf the Gth, and very gladly avail myself of the opportunity of offering to the public, under such favorable auspices, a plan for settling the controversy which has led so many good men, in all parts of the country, into the sin of despairing of the Republic. The friends of Free' Ti ado and the true American System, in the middle and eastern States, have through the long storm looked to the South for their ablest Pilots. Surely these will not desert their posts, now that the clouds are breaking and the wind changing. The good ship, the Constitution, is sound yet, and will carry us all safe into port and although we cannot sail so fast as wo wish, wo shall get into smooth water sooner if we "don't give up the ship," than by taking to the long-boat. A new Tariff, to be free from constitutional objections, should ultimately and certainly return to the revenue scale; and even in its progress to that state, should not rest upon a preference of one kind of industry, to others. And vet there are strong reasons why the change from the present system should be gradual. Th following is a sketch of the project alluded to in my letter to General lluyne, through the Charleston Patriot: To reconcile, if it be possible, the contradictory difficulties to avoid giving up the principle for which the South contends, and yet to avoid sudden change, it is proposed now to enact, Tint oli tho first of January, 1S33, all duties higher than 15 per cent, ail valorem, be reduced by one sixth of the excess over 15 per cent. That en the first of January, 1S3-1, they be further reduced by the same amount

and so be reduced from year to year, till at the end of five years there shull be no duty higher than 15 per cent. Provided, That, this reduction shall not take eff ct upon the produce or manufacture of any European nation, which will not admit the produce and manufacture of the United States at corresponding duties. That the President of the United States he requested to send a copy of this act to all ministers of the United States, with instructions to lay the same before the people or courts to which they are sent. Advantages of this plan: It will restore pence to the South, for there is no constitutional objection to it. It puts the true American System, forth to the world, suspended in its full operation only by the refusal of other nations to reciprocate with us. Although it says nothing about the "protecting policy" it yet gives five years, by positive law, to the manufacturers and a contingent further dehy, which they miy

think ot considerable importance. In the mean time a decreasing Tariff is unfavorable , 3 tho accumulation cf large stocks of foreign goods.

For my own parf.T should rather omit the

promo,-as inconsistent with the principles

upon which the doctrine of free trade rests but I have introduced it, as the only means I could think of, by which the advocates of the Tariff can be constitutionally conciliated. It cannot be long now before the full policy of the administration upon the subject will be ofiicially declared and in the mean time I congratulate you upon tho report (confidently stated here) that any nullifying act by our friends in South Carolina, will leave time for the action of Congress. I am, sir, very respectfully,

Your obedient servant, E. LITTELL. Philadelphia, 10th Nov. 1S32.
