TO ltKV. tVlMK.L PLMMER, Scn'ir f.xm Dearborn oninty. ti:t It is now three weeks that I have waited, expecting thai you would make it rejoinder to the letter I addressed ou through the columns of the Times, on the 221 of last month; but I b.ivi; been disappointed. It would seem, sir, that you are determined to pass ihii nutter over in M.'cncc, and treat your constituents with contumely and contempt. Do vou tear to have )our conduct in the last Legislature, in regard to suspensions investigated! Or do you by jour silence, tacitly admit the truth of the allegations brought up against you t It would teem to me, sir, thai you re leady to plead guilty, ;r rather that you cannot do otherwise
than answer thee inquiries in the aliirmatiye. If this then be the fact, let me
ask you, in the spirit of candor, and in
the spirit ol a free and independent cit
izen, if ou consider joursclf capable of
nuy longer representing the People ol
Dearborn county? Do you not know
full well that you Lave misrfpnstnlcd
the very l eople who elected von, by
giving your support to a mea?uie which
had for its object the entire defeat of the relocation of our feat of justice' Let us have xouranSwcr to these questions come out sir, like an independent in it., and defend yourself you have a right to a hearing, and your constituents, wne a-.id all, will read what you have l) tav.
To imc, sir, it is n source of deep re-
men in whom

should so far loose
published of any man, or at least of more than any good man would desire
to have published about him.
If, sir, any thing I may have said in

proper that the people should know it

FOR THE TIMES.
Mr. Epitor: I have noticed in the
Indiana Palladium of the 5th instant,
an editorial article in
states that the true question to be decided is division or no division, and on
which he calls on you, or tells you to
come out at once pro or con.
rsow I can tell this shallow pated
thing of the Palladium, that Dearborn
county as it is, is under the constitu
tional limits, and that the constitution of the State guarantees to the old coun
ties four hundred square miles. See the 12lh section of the lllh article of
the constitution of Indiana, page 55.

made by the committee raised under
Mr. 1 inckney s resolution.
2. Next is the lost fortification bill
discussed in the Senate on Mr. Ben
ton's resolutions, and in the House
upon that of Mr. Adams. The debate in the Senate is at an end, but that in
the House is not. It waits its turn, to be renewed when other business shall
give it a place.
Both of these subjects are political
and partizan, more or less in their bear
mgs, and in the views taken of them
by many of those who have engaged in
the debate.
3. Thirdly, the appropriation bills.
which open to discussion ah the policy
of the government, and all the inter
ests of the country, foreign and domes
tic. V ery large appropriations for the
contingent possibility of war, were con
templated by tho administration a few
weeks ago: but all such ideas are now
abandoned, and Congress will be divi
ded on this subject into two sections
not distributed precisely according to
party . lines, one side desiring libera
peace appropriations for the navy and
ior loriiucations, and the other advoca
ting a rigorous and iealous curtailmeut
of all such expenditures.
4. lhe Patronage bill. This has
passed the Senate, and is now in the House, waiting to be committed. The tendency of this bill is to diminish the
power of the executive through the
means of appointments to offices of profit
unaer ttie government of the United
btates. It will draw into discussion nl
the measures and principles of the pre sent administration.
5. The Post-otlice bill already report
ed in the House, which provides for a
complete re-orgamzation of the nost
oflice department, and is a measure of
great public importance.
G. Mr. Clay's bill for distributing the l i a ... . .

passed both Houses, and been vetoed
by the I resident, and is now once a gain under consideration in the Senate 7. The Ohio and Michigan boundary
which is a subject upon which the states of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, ns well as the territory of Michigan, are extremely sensitive, and upon which there will be prolonged and very earnest debate. 0 and U. The admission of Michigan and Arkansas into the Union. How much question these two subjects will occasion, 1 know not. They are, it is evident, things of great consequence to the whole country. If both enter the Union together, they will maintain, as it is, the equal balance of the elaveholding and non-slaveholding states in the Senate.
The Slue Trade. A vessel of be
tween two and three hundred tows was seized in New York, on the 8th inst., by
the U. S. Attorney, Mr. Price, on the
charge of having been fitted out for a voyage to the coast of Africa for a cargo of slaves. She had every appearance

with water tanks, irons, gratings for the hatches, and equipped with all the other requisites for a slave ship. Six pcrsoni,

Fr ancis Moses, three of whom were Italians, one a Frenchman, and one a
Columbian, were brought before Judge
betts for examination. It appeared from the testimony of witnesses, that the
St. Nicholas was either built at Baltimore, or fitted up there for the slave trade, that she had made one or more voyages, that on her last voyage she
brought live hundred slaves from the coast of Africa, who were obliged to bo kept standing in the hold, and have rice and water thrown down to them. Two of the men have been committed for trial, and the vessel is held in custody. Christian Watchman. Abolition of Slaveky. This exciting subject is almost daily brought up in Congress, by petitions from different parts of the United Slates. A petition, for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, was presented in Congress, lately, by Mr. Cushing, of Massachusetts, which called up one of the most excited debates that ever look place in Congress, and which produced the greatest disorder perhaps, which ever occured on the floor of the House of Representatives. Indiana has many reasons to rejoice that slavery the curse of human society was, by the ordinance of Congress and her constitution, prohibited within her bounds. PaoliTatriol. From a letter addressed to one of the editors of this paper, it appears that every kind of produce is in great demand in the low countries, especially Pork, which was selling at Nalchex, Mess at $25 per barrel, Prime at $20, and Bacon hams, at the landing, at 17 cents per pound : and, lo use the words of the writer, he says "We are completely sewed up, and think that the Hoosiers must be catching a benefit." ib.
