roa THE TIMES. L.UVRIXCEEL'RGH AND HER It A IE ROAD AND CANAL. Mr. Editor It is the opinion of a great number of our fellow citizens in the middle and' lower sections of (his county, that the people of Liwrenceburgh intend making a strong push (o get men elected to the next Legislature who will go in strong for Internal Improvements, after the plan contemplated in the Mammoth Dill, (o called.) which was defeated in the last Legislature; and that the county seal question will he but a minor object with them at the next election. I find, too, that this opinion is fif-t gaining general belief, and that there are good grounds for it. If we are to believe the people of Lawrenceburgb, they do not care a straw about having the Court House remain in that place; for we have heard them repeat, time and again, that they would rather loose the County Seat, than that the county should be continually kept in hot zcatcr about it. And who is there that can doubt for a moment that they weald not ?rost cheerfully part with the Court House, if they were certain of earn ing out to its full extent, f act r splendid scheme of a Rail Road from that place to Indianapolis, and a Canal down the Valley of the Whitewater, to terminate there? The vast difference in the bencGts io them, between a Court House, and such a Canal and Rail Road, as they contemplate, is so obvious, tha r.o one can doubt how freely they would make the exchange. But the people of Lawrence-burgh are a rule set, and have a knack of managing matters peculiar to themselves; and it is now their object !o succeed with their improvements by holding out to the peole in the upper end of the county, the idea that the County Seat question is to Le the main and leading object at the next election, while they are secretly at work themselves on the Internal Improvement hobby; and where they find people are careless about the seat of justice they endeavor to enlist them in their cause, by portraying the honor, and glory, and wealth, to be achieved by the State bv engaging in the great scheme of Internal Impromevent?, which is to be accomplished by borrowing money on from a fifty to a five hundrcJ veacs credit! This latter part, however, they artfully omit, where there is any prospect ef making n proselyte. Now, I question very much whether an individual can be found in the section of the county to which I have alluded, who is not in f ivor of a Itbcri! .? tern of Internal Improvement uch a sistern a3 the state would be able. to commence and complete with her own internal resources, or by borrowing r.ti nmount of money which she woul 1 have romc prosprrl of paving-, without impoverishing her citizens by levving taxes which would t ike their farms and personal property to do it. I question too, whether an individual can be fund within the same bound, who is opposed to such Improvements as would result in the common aencht of all. It is admitted, then, that we an favorable to a liberal system of Interna! Improvements; and it is perfectly iatur.nl, it is wise, and it is judicious, that we should oppose those who would barter away our young state, f r t he purpose of raising money to construct a rr;rail roads and canals, which w ould benefit but nfezv individuals, and a town 01 two, at most. It is right, too, (and mot wofully will we regret the act, if we fail to doit no:c.) that we should oppose every candidate for the. next Legislature, who will support tiie mammoth bill. or a bill built upon the same principles. And this being the ca-e. it is our duty to oppose the candidates recently bro'l out at Manchester, for we may depend upon it, they will vote for the mammoth bill. There can he but one opinion about this; when they meet with an individual w'.ij questions thcin mi this point, they artfully waive it by bringing up the County Seat question; and when the County Seat question is bro't up, it is just -ice versa. How many instances rati be pointed out in the history of our county, where the people of Lawrenceburgb, by their cunning management, have succeeded in procuring benefits for themselves, to the entire exclusion of every o'her portion of the county? And w ho is there that cannot see that there is a deep scheme now on foot of the same character? And who is it that can tell us of the least advantage which any portion of this county can derive from this Rail Roal and Canal, except the town of Lawrenceburgb? It i a fact, and n stubborn fret, that either of these improvements will be a great and serious injury to nine tenths of the people of

the county; and will the people then will any man of sound judgment and discretion vote for men to represent them in the next Legislature, w ho will vote for a law to tax them to make improvements which will do them an injury ? Certainly no man can be so blind to his own interest, or to the interests of his fellow citizens.

It mav not be genera'lv known that this mammoth bill wanted but a vote or two to become a law at the last session; and it has been confident! y aerled that if the Law rencobnrghers had succeeded last year as heretofore, the bill would have been passed!

D. . Cincinnati, June 3d, ! 835. GI'.N. W. II. 1IA11K1SOX. This distinguished gentleman and former Governor of Indiana, under the 1 erritorial government, visited Indianapolis on Saturday evening last; hut O'-ving to oilier engagements, pursued his journey on Monday afternoon. Although we differ with'ths General in a political point of view, we are happy to 'e a proper respect paid to him by "the ciliz-ns of our Stale. During his" present visits to Indiana lie has partook of public dinners on three different occasions, at Vincennes, Lafnelte and Crawfordsville, and has had the same hospitality offered in Terre-IJaute and other places where he was unable to comply. D-iriig his visit to Lafayette, a number of the citizens escorted him to the Tippecanoe Battle Ground ; wdnch we understand he has not before visited since the memorable scene of j 131 1. On bis return he partook of a I public dinner and was addressed, on

behalf of the citizens, by the Hon. Edward A. Hannegan, in his usual eloquent manner. Gen. Harrison is abo said to have made an able address to the people. Gentlemen, without respect to party, have united on these public occasions, in paying their respects to the hero of Tippecanoe and former

Governor of Indiana. The General, it will be perceived by the correspondence in this day's paper, was invited to a public dinner at this place ; but declined the invitation. A number of gentlemen of our tow n, however, were invited by the Secretary of State, at whose house the General stopped, to a private dinner on Monday, and was escorted out of town on the same evening by the Governor, and other citizens.

Our streets are as full of people as those, of New York, and the din of voices, and hum of business, j that of a crowded metropolis. Every other person we meet has a strange nee, an toe we?- j tern fever from what we hear, is a very pleasant and profitable disease at i least, we have never seen a more prom ising and intelligent set of emigrants, since we have been in Detroit, than have made their appearance among u, within the last few davs. Emigration. The Erie (Pa.) Observer says ''Should emigration continue through this season at the rate it has begun, in proportion to past years, and without any greater interruption tlun has occurred for the two last, before the close of navigation more than tzm hundred thousand people w ill have chan-1 .-ed their loeatina (rem east ol (his place to the westw ard of it. Emigration to the West is processing with a rapiditiy of which the history of our country affords no parallel. Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and other! points on the Luke route are inundated with strangers. Lake is sw armed w ith steamboats, yet they are unequal to the transportation of the immense quantity of persons and property, farmers and furniture, children ami chatties, which now- choke (he streets and crowd the wharves of Buffalo. J orkcr. lettcr dated Galena, (111.) 25th ult., which states that more than one thousand emigrants, hound for the Lead Mines, have already arrived there thiseason, although navigation has been open but six day. The writer says, he has no doubt that the population of (lie mines w ill be increased iOOO by tlie first of July. Tin: SKASOX. So far, the season has been one of the most extraordinary within our recollection. During the last twenty days we have had drenching rains torrents of it affecting the Wabash and other small streams to such an extent as r threaten the worst consequences to (he firms on low lands. Alreadv we f.-ar much damage is done and the river still rising! (Tuesday evening, June 9.) Oa Saturday night, the rain fell in torrents, and continued, with but slight intermission, for eight hours. On many farms the sprouting corn is entirely washed away, even where the influence of the river is not felt. Indeed every thing betokens a disastrous season to grain growers. In addition to these mis.'ortunes, we mav add, as a matter local to those interested in tlv progress of the National Road, that the operations on that great woik are nearly suspended owing to its condition along the w hole line. The streams adjacent are out of their banks, and the road in many rdaces complete Iv under watei. This is a serious public loss, and no less serious private one to the industriou individuals employed as workmen there on. Some estimate may be formed of the quantity of rain, from the fact, that a steamboat, of 80 tons burnden, actually made two trips as far up as Peru, sezeral miles above Ttozaitrporl! This lias been heretofore d'-etned impracticable. U abash Courier. Singular FoimTurm. A few days ago, :i gentleman in Kentucky, near this city, pun based three slaves, a man, his wife, and child. From some cause, to us unknown, the man was exceedingly averse to being sold and declared, before the transfer was made, that he won't! never work for the gentleman who proposed to purchase him. The bargain was completed, however, and immediately the man slave retired to the yard, laid his left hand upon a block, and with his hate hot at a single blow deliberately severed his hand from his arm!

The writer of the following letter iV n member of the Society of Friends and." went out to Africa, last fall, under the auspices of the united Colonization Societies of New York nnd Philadelphia, principally to establish a manual labor school at Bassa Cove and instruct the natives and colonists in the mechanic arts. He was also requested and authorized to assume the ti cral superintendence ef the settlement at Bassa.

The letter.it. will be seen, is without date, hut is was written immediately before the sailii g of the Ninus, and is (lie latest inteliigerue that has been received from Liberia.

We know of many ether instances in which colored men, who, while in this country were not worth a shilling, have already realized a comfortable independence in Afiioa.

Some of them were reported to be in chains or cages, made for their confinement; some of them in. out buildings, garrets or cellars of private houses, some in county jail, shut ep w ith felons and criminals of everv description; some in alms houses, iu brick cells never warmed bv fire or lighted by the rays of the sua. One insane woman who had wandercc fi orn her friends, was re otlcd to nave co-nioed m Oi;e ol our i n in w inter without! fire. From the severity cd'th" cold and her fixed posture, her feet be came so rnueh diseased that it was reee'ry to amputate then to the nnch-, which was accordingly done, nnd th woman afterwards res fen d to I .r friend- in this mutilated condition. Another female, was confined in a garret, wdiere from (lie lowness of the rot fatal her consequently constrained position, she grew double, and is now obliged to walk with her hands as well as feet or. the t! or. A man w as reported to have been confined in a cellar, neatly naked, wiih a bed of wet straw for his couch,, and there to have pined away in lonelv wretchedness and want, unnoticed and unattended. Horrible Se ef.. Two negroes were recently convicted at Mobile, on (heir own confession of the murder of two children in the neighborhood of" (hat place, and being sentenced by the court to be hanged, the populace forthwith took the culprits iido custody, carried them to the spot where the rime was committed and burned them both to death! There can be no difference of opinion in well regulated mind as to the character of this act. It proves a deplorable laxness of legal authority in the place where it was permitted; but few cases have ever ocurred, (he attrecious circumstances of which could go further in excusing such an outbreak of the popular vengeance. One of the children was a little gii 1 who was subjected to outrages too horrid for public perual, and then murdered by severing her head from her body, and thrown into the river, with the mangled body of her liftle brother, still oungei than herself. The transaction as it given in some of the southern papers, in all its disgusting details, is shocking beyond any tbfng ever before w itnessed in this country. New course of Trade.
