FOR THE TIMES. 31 u. Emrm When I closed ir.y remarks in Julv last, immediately before the election", I did not suppose t I should ever ai;a;n ask the indulgence of your readers while ' addressed them on matters connected with the Scat of Justice of cur countv. Bat in tins I am mistaken, arid Inow ask the ue of a column or two of your independent paper, and th3 alieiition of the reader, while I make omo ;oet more . remarks on the same subThe t.u.nberof the Fa'ladium issued on the Saturday preceding the election, poured out the vials of its wrath upon ail those who had assumed th responttUilit v of judging and acting for themselves, in opposition to the vownnnds of lliri ruling spirits of Lawtencebuigh; and more especially did it pour down its vengeance upon some citizens of Rising Sun, who were taking no part in thecontcst. The paper alluded to was turcharged with tbe wild and malignant raving? of its j ujyoscJ Editors and its abusive corresponoents, and it went forth through the county "fierce as ten furies and terrible as hell." But I then looked upon these productions as unworthy the notice of any honorable man, and they met with a reception such as they merited. The people looked upon these wanton and malicious attack?, at a time w hen they could not be answered before the election, as bantlings by no means unworthy their notorious origin they Were the olftpring of heads grown desperate by defeat, an 1 of hearts resolved to do the utmost in support of a rotten cause. And, sir, I should not notice them now, were it not that they are Luy with fchemes, stratagems and snares, with w Inch they may entrap many of our un fuspecting fellow citizens; and I think that while they seem determined that I he county shall not be at pe.'fc again while they are resolved to keep up trvnitif, and dircord, and strife, they should be promptly met and exposed. Wc had all supposed, Mr. Editor, that alter the County Commissioners had given their sanction to there-location of the County Seat, and had appointed men to superintend the erection of the county building, that the Lawrenceburghers w ould submit lo the majority, and give up the contest. The people of the county, who had no persona! interest in Law icnccburgb, were satisfied with the re-location, and were t joiced at the prospect of peace. Bat how are wc mistaken! How often do we place the wrong estimate upon the character of human beings! No sooner had the Law re iceburghers been foiled ia their attempt to prevent the Commissioners from sanctioning the re-location, than their eyes were turned to the Circuit Court, and here, through a certain dignified lawyer namad Gis zed!, a motion was made that tike Court grant them a ll'nt of Injunction, which meant lo stop the removal of the County Seat. Yes they had lite boldness and impudence to ask the Court lo assume authority in direct opposition lo a special act of the General Assembly ot Indiana. Bui in this they were signally defeated, as Judge Eggleston merely took time to say that the Couit and the Court II jure were two different thing. Thus have they been repulsed !U every quarter, and their last and lalesl resoit is the "secret petition"1 you alluded to in your last paper. This petition hails from Lawrenceburgh, the cityof the Cvars and the Hit!. :M!.s of Indian , and it prognosticates the overthrow of the new ly selected County Se;t. It Is a document of s-jiiie length, and contains as many misiatcmcnli as could well be crowded into Ihe samo space it set forth the inconvenience of getting to Wilmington owing to the laik tenters of the Ohio: M irk that! but it does not say how often Wilmington is oierlotrn each year. and stales that Wilmington is situated sm r miles from ihe center, which is a gross falsehood, as every one must know who is in the least acquainted with the geography ol the county, but let us admit lor argument that Wilmington is inaccessible owing to high waters, and tint it is seven miles from the center, what more coul I be said in fivor of Lawrenceburgh ! Who will answer this question? But it is useless to pay any attention lo ihese statements of this petition the people know them lo be false, and will treat them accord ingly. The object is lo rHain the Co-ill House at Lawrcneehnrgh,and il is nonsense, not to say wickedness, to say that they prefer Manchester, Dils's, Ihe Center, or Aurora. They would rppoe any of these points just as strongly a j they do Wilmington. Hut let us examine the prayer of ihe petition. It prays that a law may be

enacted so that certain places in tbe county may be designated, and that the people shall then vole where the County Seat shall be. Now who is so blind as not to see through this flimsy artifice? They hope that by proti acting the matter and keeping up an angrystrife a while longer, finally to succeed in retaining the County Seat. Fellow citizens, let'me ask you what kind of principle or disposition a set of men can have, who will thus oppose the rights, the wishes, and the trill of the majoiilv? who will knowingly assert that which is not true, and will laugh at the people when they ask for justice? It is a low, grovelling, debasing selfinterest which urges them on it is a self iuteicst which teaches them lo op

pose, w ithout regard to principle or the interests and well being ol loeir know citizens, every thing which has a tendency to operate in the least against their town, and to promote the prosperity of any other section of the county. There is an .Irislocracif in Lawrenceburgh w hich has claimed to rule the county it is an aristocracy composed of the worst materials it is a base aristocracy which lias arrogated to itself the right to impeach the ron duct of men acting under the solemn obligations of an oath il is an aiisloclacv which is grasping for money and for "power. To prove this let facts ha submitted. 1 hey have a nrancti oi ine Stale Hank thev are to have a Rail Road and a Canalthey have both the Associate Judges the School Commis sioner all the count v officers of course and last, though not least, a horse ferry loot and they are grasping lor more. 1 hey turn a deal ear to me wishes of the people, and have no re gard for the rights of the majority, "How shall we treat these bold aspi ring men?"' How long will the people of Dearborn passively submit to the manifold ii juries of these men? And how long shall this miserable arirtocra n be permitted to keep up a bitter con lest in the county! These are the men who have got up a petition lo have the late location of the county seat re-considered ; andean such men find an individual in the Legislature who w ill advocate their cause? Is there an individual w ho could be bribed to advocate their cause? For the honor of human nature I hope not. No man who has any regard for himself or ihe People whom he represents, can present a petition tilled as this one is, with false assertions from beginning to end. It is a dishonor to our county. But the majority of the People are not to blame. It is a shame too, while our sister cour.ties are progressing in works of improvement and endeavoring to improve their internal condition, that Dearborn county should be warring and contending about her Seat of Justice, and neglecting other important concerns. And who is lo blame? Go ask our would-be lords and matters,- the Aiistocracv of Lawrcnceburgh! Their proud and unruly spirit will not submit lo the majority, and they are lo blame. 1 hey are the ones w ho would entail disgrace on the people, and who will oppress w henever they have an opportunity. This is their leading trait. It has characterized them for years and traces of their mischievous disposition can be found written on Ihe walls of nearly every house in Dearborn county. Thev are the authors of all the conten tion and strife in the county, and it is they who wish lo perpetuate it. Now il is the People, and the People alone who can redress ihese wrongs, and the sooner thev exercise their power and put down this unruly aristocracy, the sooner w ill peace prevail among us. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, permit me to say that these remarks, although written in a spirit which becomes a freeman, and one who trill not submit to disgrace and oppression, are strictly correct. I have no fears of successful contradiction. I am so bold as even to challenge and dare any man w ho is the dupe of the. aristocratic faction at Lawrcnceburgh, to meet m.; and overthrow a single assertion in this article; for the fact is, the evils wc have endured are so we ll known among ihe People that he who runs may read. Bui lei them select (heir gladiator and send him cut to justify their conduct. Will they do uusi jo,iliey dare not ; for they dread an exposition they fear an inquiry into uu ir conduct, "mi $oit out mat y prnre. TKUTH.

Maj. Glenn: I was very much gratifi.l Tn.-srlav fvemnj? last, at the Riino sn I.vrpnm. of which vou have the honor to be a member. It is not my ...w v.

Il treated on general education, and particularly the necessity 01 training up professional teachers. The J . . V .. r uinciples advocated are based upon the most infallible laws. Could every Parent in our community have been present, their lime would nave neen profitably employed. And to say "there is not talent enough lo support it here," as some of the enemies to general education have said, is more than useless.

l2oclock, they lookup their march, and encamped about 7 miles above the place, in a very strone nosilion. Susnectimr that their obiect in this movement was either to wait for a reinforcement from San Antonio, or to cross at the upper crossing, about 15 miles above, il was determined to attack them before their plans could be carried into execution. Accordingly, on the same night, the whole force, on foot, amounting to about 160 men, from theGuadaloupe, Colorado, and Le Baca, commanded by Col. J. If. Moore, crossed the river, attacked the enemy about daybreak and put them to flight, without the loss of a single man. Inasmuch as we expect a formidable attack from Ugartecha, should the forces long remain idle, the determination is lo attack San Antonio as soon as we can receive reinforcements, to prevent this country from becoming the battle ground. This committee, therefore, earnestly desire that y ou would use your influence to send lo this place, as soon as possible, as many volunteers as possible. Respectfully yours. W. M. FISHER, ch'n. Col. S. F. Austin, chairman committee of safety. Information which is relied on, has been received from the interior, that the Slates of Zacatecas and Gaudalaxary have risen and taken up arms in defence of the Constiulion of 1824, and in suport of the federal system; also, that there are insurrections in the State of Tamaulipas, in favor of the same cause ; also, that the republican General, Juan Alrarez, has gained a victory over the governmeiit troops in the south of Mexico.

NEW AM) IMPORTANT INVENTION. Among the many useful and scieni"ifi - rtii'rvnrip nt ibft lav. we were . ' , . mon, 01 1 c.ms. wuin.,.u days ago letters patent from the United on u couiu prouuee us explosion. 1 ue Philanthropist will receive the glad tic ilia ,1 nun nl ui"g i uhs .u.cmiun v. a better day for the navigator and merchant, and, contemplating the saving of human life and limb from destruction by the application of this ingenious invention, w ill hail the inventor as a pub lic benefactor. Lverv scientific man who has seen the model, we are told, pronounces it unequalled in its impor tance. W'c insert an extract of a let ter on the subject of the Safety-Boiler, written to Mr. Salomon, by one of the most scientific mechanics of our country, and one, loo, lo whom the public is indebted for several valuable inven tions in other branches of machinery: 'Dear Sir: I have taken the liberty of addressing you on the subject of your I newly invented Steam-Boiler, an J , . . ;, d 1 nnncipie and mode ot its construction, the ,, ,, , - more confident I am that in every sense . . . . . r 1 , 1 of the word it is preferable to any I . ..r , r ' . have ever seen before, and for strength 11 presents a greater surface for the r 1 net upon than the common cy lin der otiIer, and of course less fuel will be required, and from the peculiar construclion of the boiler, the heat will act .

It is my opinion lhat it will be capable of resisting almost any pressure of steam that can be conceived of." We understand lhat Ihe ingenious inventor was not permitted to take out his patent without opposition, a claim for priority of invention having been alleged in behalf of another claimant. Mr. Salomon was, however, enabled to prove an earlier period of publication, and the arbitrators, lo whom the matters in question were referred, gave their award in favor of him. This circumstance is another evidence of the very great importance of the invention; for even the approval of a plan of machinery by a man of as mucli science and skill as Col. Humphreys, (the other competitor,) would go far in recommending it lo attention. A full test will, we are informed, soon be made of this invention, and il is boldly predicted that the Safety Steam-Boiler will prove itself, if not the first, one of the first and most valuable inventions of the age. JVational Intelligencer. rUULIC LANDS. Notwithstanding the great quantity of laud disposed of at the late public sales at Laporte and at Fort Wayne, the demand for land in the northern part of Indiana seems to be undiminished. We have seen a letter from the Receiver at Laporte lo a gentleman in this place, in which the writer states that the business of the office is great beyond precedent. The demand for Canal Land, at the oflice at Fort Wayne, has been for some time, and continues to be, very great. Lttgansport Telegraph. According to the report of the Mexican minister for foreign affairs, there were in January 20,000 inhabitants of the slate of Texas and Coahuilla yielded last year to Ihe government treasury a sum exceeding $ 1 ,400,000.

RISING SUN:

SATURDAY aiOItXING. NOV. 2S, 1835. RISING SUN MARKET. We have been asked why we do not report (he prices of marketing in Rising Sunl Wo have ho good reason to give, except, perhaps that when we have done so, anil when prices were high, il had no effect, as we could perceive, in bringing in marketing. However, if it will be of any benefit to our country friends, we promise hereafter to be more aucnuve 10 uu business. THE SEASON. We h:ul a faithful day's snow on Sunday last, and had the ground been in proper order for receivins it, t ,U:?t 1,ave been near,y two foot deep. Uut as it was, it melted very fast. Since then it has froze considerably, and has raado the roads very bad. Two or three sleighs started out on Monday, but it tcould,nt take. Tbe weather is rather cold for the season. Winter has commenced earlier than usual, and has caught a great deal of corn yet on the stalk and plenty of potatoes in the ground. We apprehend that there will be coldjingers in gathering them. jVrWe have received a copy of the Lattrenceburgh petition, but too late for this week 9 paper. We will publish it next week. We have never seen a production from that place so full of misrepresentation. It is truly worthy of its author. CONGRESS THE GLOBE. We have inserted to-day a Prospectus of the "Congressional Globe," published at Washington, during the session of Congress. Nothing of a political nature will be published in it, but it is to be devoted entirely to publishing tho proceedings of Congress, together with all the speeches. To those w ho would like to have all the proceedings of this body, we would re. commend this paper. It is very cheap, being but 1,00 for the session, and is printed in a good form for binding. Mr. Lunius, P. M. will act as Agent for the above paper, at this place. fjr-We learn from the Indianapolis Journal that Mr. Charles I. Hand, of that place, h:s been appointed Collector of Contributions, for the Washington National Monumental Society, in this Slate. Tho Journal says the appointment is a good one. 07"The Palladium was quite anxious, for some time previous to the last election, that the County Seat question should be definitely settled, and that peace and quietness should again prevail in the county. We supposed it spoke the feelings and withes of the Burghers at that tiiiie. Perhaps they were then in hopes that the Court House would not be removed. Uut it has been and are the Burghers content? We hope the People will notice who it is that is keeping the county in ''hot water,'" and where the disaffection exists. We have an article in the Times to-day, worthy of perusalThe Burghers are handled in it without gloves and their jnalicious disposition set forth in its true Ji-tt. THE PORK MARKET. There is much said in the West this season in relation to the Pork market. Holders are asking very high prices when compared with those of former seasons, and inconsequence of this there are but few sales. In Cincinnati, heietofore the "greatest Pork Market in the world," there is, we are told, but little doing. The merchants have combined, it is said, and are only giving $3 75. We do not know the cause of the high prices there does not appear to be any great demand abroad; and it must be the scarcity of the article. The merchants, bower, assert that there is no scarcity, and present appearances seem to indicate that there will not be any great shipments made soon. Wo have heard many Farmers say that they will pack their own Pork before they wf take less than $5,00 per hundred. i - 'We understand that petitions are circulating in different parts of this county, for signatures, praying the legislature to revise their act of last session lo relocate the county scat, and pass a law to give the people the power to determine by vote where the courthouse shall be. Tin plan seems to be regarded as reasonable, and the most likely to give satisfaction lo the people." The aboc precious paragraph is from the last Palladium. We undentand that the petition was got up secretly at Lawrenccburgh, and that it was printed there, yet Mr. Cole feigns ignorance of it. We regard the plan iu the petition ai one that will be the most likely to keep the county at war as long as it may continue in force; and the Burghers know it; they know too that the Court House will remain with them until the matter is settled; and if they can succeed in this scheme, and get different sections of the county at enmity, they calculate to get a majority in favor of Lawrenccburgh! They certainly all deserve & leather medal for their ingenuity, and more particularly the Knight of the Mortar who drafted the petition. LOOK OUT! Th following certificate has been forwarded to us for publication. There is no doubt but that a great number of similar ones could b had. It would be well, therefore, for our citizens to be on their guard, and see that their names are not made use of without their knowledge or consent. The undersigned, residing in Manchester township, hereby certifies that my name appears on a petition got up at Lawrcnceburgh, to present to the
