THE M AILS. Almost every newspaper w !iich wr open contains sown loud complaint nhout the irregularity of the mails, and the noii-receptioti of cx--lianir" papers; and we feel compelled to say something too not, however, that wc eypect t mend the matter in the least. Wc have been y.atiinlli wailing since some lime lat week for our ca--tern papers, mid have not yet re eied anv, save the Cohimhus (Ohio) Hemisphere of the 1 4 A, and the t'ineinwati Cliri.-ti.ai Advocate of the -1:W in?t : t!iro arrived by last Thurs,1 n's Southin mail'. We arc inl'ornied that the eastern mail for tli place is detained at Ciminnati, to he forwarded by steamboat, and i very ut'tcn c irried backwards and forwards from Cincinnati to Lonisille for four or five days, before it is left here. 1 here is a dir-ct land mnil from Cincinnati to Rising Sun twice a week, and yet we v-et nothing either way. There is negligence somewhere, but where it it, ii hard for us to tell. If we are to believe all we sec printed, there have been suilUient extra allowances to afford thi place a daily mail, yet we would bo content with two or three a week, if they arrived regularly. No person but an F.ditor can.ha.ve any idea of the inconvenience they are otteti put to by the non-arrival of the mails. Editors are always anxious to lay before their readers the latest nd most important intelligence, and for this purpose they frequently delay their publication, wailing on the mails, and are about a often disappointed as any other way this is the ease with us the present week. We most sincerely wish that every Mail Contractor and Tost Master in the country, who neglects his duty, could be an Editor for about two months, and receive no mails after two or three publication?. If this dil not work them up to a betti r performance of their duty, wc would l.e willing to pronounce th in di stitnte of feclinc-, honesty, decency, or any thing el-e tt('!U:ss. We are unable to give any late proceedings in Congress, owing to not having received our resular exchange paper. The ro:ds are trood and the waters low, but we receive no mails. Cannot our representative in t- oncress lo some thing towards getting the mails into thi sec tion of his district ! lie has been asked, and has also volunteered his services; but we can not hear that any thing has been done. Oj-The Eawrciicchurch papers announce Isaac Dvjs.n, Esq. of that town, John Godi.et, Esq. of Logan, and Samuel IL Dowden, Esq. as candidates to represent Dearborn county in the next Legislature. George Arnold, Esq. is also nominated for re-election to the ol'ice of County Com missioner. 0jFWc have this week placed Mr. Alfred J. Cotton's name among the li't of candidates for Representatives. Wc do not wish to keep the name of any candidate from our readers, nor do we wish to act unfairly towards any man. In giving Mr. Cotton's name a p.lace once more, we feel ourselves compelled to rcpeat what we have said before, that l'by the express condition of his being a candidate, we consider '"in withdrawn " He have again adverted to his communication of the i:5th ult. and wc must confess that wc cannot arrive at any other conclusion. Wo cut the following paragraph from the Lawrenct burgh Whig of Saturday last: "Mr. Editor Please announce Samuel II. Dowden Esq. as a candidate for Representative of the county in tin next legislature. We believe he would endeavor to represent the whole county and not merely a part of it. 31 ANY VOTERS' Wc do not wish to be considered inquisitive, hut we should like to know w hat these ".Vnny l"oifr," (whom wc believe to be the Editor of the 41N big"' himself,) mean by saying that Mr. Dowden will represent the whule county and not inertly a part of it, if elected ? Do they pretend to insinuate that none of the other candidates will obey the wishes of the citizens of the county J It is said that a "hint is sometimes as good as a kick," and we shall take it for granted that the above is intended as a thrust at the gentlemen composing the Ticket nominated at the county meeting held at Wilmington on the 26th ult., and shall treat it accordingly. We are not personally acquainted with Samtirl II. Dowden, Esq., hut wx have heard that there is such an individual, and we doubt not that he is a gentleman. Of his ability i repre sent the whole of Dearborn county in the State Legislature, we are not at present prepared to fpeak; but this much wc do know, and every impartial citizen of the county will bear us out in the assertion, that it is not in the nature of any man in and about Lawrenccburgh who is friendly to the town, to n present any part or portion of the county, save and except Law renccburgh. If this were not the case, the Seat of Justice would have been taken from there long fcince, and placed where the people of the whole county would stand a small chance of getting to the Court IIouc at all seasons of the year. Ami now, when the Tropic have determined to elect Representatives who will regard their will nnd wishes, this Mr. "Many Voters" has the frowaulncss to insinuate that the conn ty meeting nomination tr7l tiel represent the .hole county! We view it as an uncalled for and unprovoked attack as a slander, "open and understood," upon the character of the respectable gentlemen composing; that Ticket. We dislike to see any man or set of men fighting under covrt it is a good sign that their cause 1 not a jut one.

The citizens of Dearborn county are t..-o well acquainted with the gentlemen nominated at the county met ling for ns to si t up a defence; ami we venture to say that they are fully a capable and willing to represent the whole county, as the candidate of Mr. ".V.y F;fo-J." We arc well aware that the county meeting nomination will go for the removal of the County Seat they were nominated For this

purpose by as larcc and as respectable an as semblage of citizens, as ever convened in the county ainl if they are elected, we do not apprehend V at they will fdlow the example of many of their predecessor', and forget tin rc is any other spot but Eawrencebursh in the v. noi.n county. Talk about any individual triendly to Law rcuccburuh, representing the whole county! Neii'rnse ! Mr. "Many Voters' would occupy his time to much better advantage, if he were devi-in? some plan to keep the water out of the jeeond and third stories of their dwellings. when the Ohio is di-posod to rise a few feet. Indi ana SEvriNEi. Wc would like to knowit the Editor of this luminous journal cannot mploy his time in no letter w ay than writin: on the margin of. his papers? We have seen enou; h of him to beliee that tiierc is not much land in his Hull, and we would just inform this wi-cactc that notwithstanding the nliilitwith which he thinks bis paper is conducted, lie need not put himself to the trouble of seiidin us anv more. Wc will trv to tot along without tin 111. it 1 el:k ixti ntosiPEcTs. It is with pleasure we find commer cial confidence reviving in the north, ar.d the embarrassments and money pressure which were so sensibly and fatally felt v many of our citizens, disappearing from the principal com menial cities of the U. Slates. In New York business is getting brisk. and confidence resuming fast its station tmong the mercantile portion of the community. In Philadelphia, husinc had also increased, and the pressure on the money market was dying away, In Boston also, business had revived, In Baltimore, confidence had been ent irtly restored. But notwithstanding the Haltering prospects oi the commercial portion of our community, it must be acknowledged lhat (he measures of the federal government, and the course which the Bank of the United States, ind the state banks, may think proper to pursue hereafter, may again plunge us in dillicullies, and produce the same embarrassments and pressure on the money market from which we are recovering. It is hoped, However, mat the experience of the past wiil be a salutary lesson to our rulers, and to those who have the management ol our banking institutions. 1 lie federal gi eminent should confine itself to a course strictly authorized by the federal con stitution, and the directors of banks hould be compelled to abstain from meddling in their banking operations with matters which have no relation with the objects for which charters were granted to their institution Every one to his duty, and no circum tance can be apprehended whicn might endanger the pecuniary and political interests of the citizens ot the country AVAllAJSIl AM) I'll! 12 CANAL,. Several additional sections of this ca nal were last week put under contract, making with the part already in pro gress, AG miles, the whole of w hich, by the stipulations of the contracts, is to be completed on or before the 10th of October, 1835. lhe line now under contract extends from the Maumcc river, at Fort Wayne, to the Treaty Ci round in abash county, and it is in tended to put a further portion of the work under contract as early in the en suing summer as the necessary arrange ments can be made. A party of engi neers is now busily employed locating the line of the canal from the 1 reaty Ground to the mouth of the Mississinewa. From the vast amount of labor to be performed on this canal during the present and succeeding season, a tine opportunity will be afforded, to the la boring classes, in those parts ol the country where employment is scarce, to locate themselves in a more favora ble situation, where they will be sure of employment and good wage?. The commissioners expressly reserve to themselves the right of paying the la borers, out of any money due the con tractors, in case the latter should refuse or neglect so to do. 1 he work put un dcr contract includes two aqueducts, two large dams and several locks and culverts, which will give employment to a number of mechanics as well as la borers. Fori W ayne Sentiwl. MANUAL I.AHOU I GM.IX'E, SOUTH HAKOVF.U, tSDIANA. It is scarcely possible to keep pace with our spirit of improvement and enprize, which does not creep sloth-like or in a retrograde movement, as in old countries, but flies almost with eagles' wings, and with a celerity proportioned to the immense extent of territory in which it is occupied. W ithin a few years past, as we learn from the New castle (Ky.) Advertiser, the beautiful

town turned at (he head of this article has sprung up almost as by magic, upon an ch.atd plateau, in the midst of

the dense, primeval forests that line the banks of the Ohio. Already it Counts a thriving population of 400, and has a three story spacious college edifice, with 1G0 pupils who are not only taught the higher branches, but the useful, athletic and manual employment of agriculture and the mechanic arts on a farm of 150 acres, belonging to the corporation, ami in the work shops cf carpentry, coopering, wagon and chair making attached to the edifice. This is as it should be; and we rejoice to sec the manual labor system, in practical operation as an essential part of education. It is the best kind of gymnastics, and it gives us a knowledge of arts that may be eminently useful to us in after life, and which never can be thought to have anv dis credit attached to them, where the whole of our population are and ought to be by tne very democracy of our m slitutions, laborious and industrious. In the institution at South Hanover, the students, we arc grat'iiied to learn. take a pride in these occupations. Of what incalculable advantage also, are they, to give health and robustness to the body, and to counteract the pernicious tendency of too sedentary or close an an licalion to hook. We are also of opinion with the celebrated Dugald btewart, that the more steadily and uniformly all the faculties, both of body and mind, are brought into exercise, the more certainly is each likely to reach maturity, by the principles of mutual co-operation. " An American citizen should be so educated as to be capable of turning his hand to any thing mechanical, military and professionalemployments,oraflairsof state, as chance or circumstances may direct. ! MOK.MONIS3I in coi n r. We learn from the Spectator, a pa per published in Chardon, Geauga county, Ohio, that a curious trial recently took place in that county, in which Joe Smith, the founder of Mormonism and Dr. 1. Hurlburt, w ere the parties. The complaint w as made be fore a Justice of the Peace to bind Hurlburt to keep the peace towards the prophet. 1 nejuslice ordered Hurl burt to enter into bonds, and on Mon day the 8th instant, the case was heard before the court, f he court-house was filled, almost to suffocation, with an eager and curious crowd of spectators, to hear the Mormon trial, as it was called. A meat number of witnesses attended and were examined, chiefly members of the Mormon society, amon sj whom, was the renowned prophet him self. It appeared, that Hurlburt had been a disciple of M01 monism, and was ordained an elder by Joe himself, but for misconduct, as the Mormon witnes ses alleged, was excommunicated. Af ter this he discovered that Joe was a false prophet, and the Book of Mcrm- - 1 1 1 . -1 .. ..: : ; 1 andexamining and collecting proof that the story of the Rook of Mormon was taken from a manuscript romance, written by one Spalding, w ho formerly lived at Connoeut,and w ho died before publication. Many witnesses testified to threats of revenue from Hurlburt, One witness, who testified to the threats of Hurlburt, on cross-examination, be ing asked the reason why she had not communicated these threats to Smith, answered that she did not believe Hurl burt, or any other human being, had the power to hurt the prophet; but Joe himself appears to have placed lit tle reliance upon his divine invulnera bility; for he testified that he became afraid of bodily injury from the defen dant. I he court hnally ordered Hurl burt to find security in the sum of Two Hundred Dollars, to keep the peace for the period of six months. THE MAKKI'TS. New Oki.eans, May 3d.
