RISING SUN TIMES.

. K. CLK.N.V, KDITOR AND rROrKir.TOU. 1 OR THE TIMES. Mr. Gr.rxx: Cm I a-k a corner of (he Times for this, and perhaps one other communication I ask nothing ut fi.-. lilt lilt. I 11 1 I iu' ui.iiuiii yui ,, , ... , ., . u . , the suhiect itself bei:u ot such general if -u ji fh. r-w--It nf i'c .liffinn lint ' importance to the citizens of Dearborn county, r.Kiv do away minor objections. Dearborn county at tin present time, is perhaps in a more perplexing ritu.t.tion in respect to her civil police, and the administration of justice, than could hive possibly been imagined by any one, not an rye witness to :!ie fact. The administration of justice is completely forestalled; creditors are deprived of their just rights, and the innocent ?re compelled to stiller alike with the guilty. The people are daily losing confidence in those who pretend to administer justice and protect the laws; and deadly animosity among the people pervades every section of the county. All are aware that the .question respecting the county seat, is the moving cause of it all; and that alt would have ' !iniV llfWIl 'it lf'l llli". T writ-.t...... : .. "ii..v , tun. J i' i;i:iiiuhc i having ,l,(Pnine,l ii, .,.,,.;.. u i it not been for a few turbulent spirits, who would sooner see the county convulsed from diameter to circumference. than that any one should slvre the j loaves and fishes of ofticc and power with them. The nuestion retvrtiniT iho ,,i ' seat w ill perhaps be decided iudiciallV I .....-' J i - at the next term of the Supreme court : and whatever that decision may be, our county may again be at peace, if the people shall will it so. But if the question which has been started respecting :i division, shall not be crushed in the bud a question raised by the self same oll'ice-holding demagogues who have hitherto been warmest in opposition to it it may result in consequence?, to the horrors of which the past can bear no . parallel. The 12th section of the lllh article of the Constitution of Indiana, savs: "The general assembly, when they lay oil" any new county, shall not reduce the old county, or counties, from w hich the same shall be taken, to a less eontent than four hundred square miles. Dearborn county is said to want thirteen square miles of her constitutional quantity, Switzerland county much less, and Ripley county only her legal ratio. How then can any one expect to divide Dearborn county ? Has I K.aibotn county one single citizen so morally depraved as to suppose that our Legislature will violate the oath it has taken to support the Constitution, by attempting to divide Dearborn count)'? I trust not. The idea itself is so totally ridie Pilous, and the design it is intended to cover so palpably manifest, that almost every reflecting nuui must repel it as an insult to his understanding, and intended only to blind the ignorant, and gull the credulous. 1 have spoken personally with the members of the Legislature from many counties in the State, and all, without one single exception, have agreed that . r -.11. .nut I,. ,,. wouiu ue 10 attempt to subveit one ot the fundamental principles of the Constitution. But let us suppose for a moment that there were no constitutional objections to a division of the county, in what situation would she be for the ensuing five years, if it should be attempted ? One part of the county must again be arrayed against the other at 'th-i ensuing August election, Kach -111. . . . . . - i..i..i.nii.uu!in, tuirlv n f rnnriie Will f-liwl on, nr mm-.. men of its owapidilical piinciples; and the Legislature, (ever loth lo meddle in sectional broils and county piarrcls.) seeing our own members dill'ering n the subject, will not go so far as lo legislate upon the subject at all ; and consequently the labors of out rrpitsenla tives would he drawn fiom all other matters of interest to the county, to that of division, which can never be el fected. But admitting that .ill our icpicsentatives were in favor of division, nd that there were no constitutional ohvetions to it, it would then be at . ast three years belore new county seats could be established, court houses, jails, and c lei k's offices built, aud nlliI -j ' - """ cers elct ted, during all whi h time ju dicial proceedings must be liut raled, the people iiuhI. be put lo vat exju iisc, and our ch il-, sheiills, and all other oflicers stai ve. W hat loiirx: then, fellow citizens, i -it our duty lo pursue? Regarding the 12th section ef the l llh arlnle of the Constitution s inviolable, should wc not be convinced that tiie veiy men who once opposed the division, are as much againitil now as they ever were; that thpy have raised it fiom the base method f thereby gulling the. lower and back parts of the county, and with The vain and desperate hope of getting

(lie county seat again alloat, to land, as they hope, once more in Lawrenceburg. Should we not consider such men as devoid of all moral principle, w illing to sacrifice all that is noble and manly at the sin ine of promotion and selfish train,

j and consequently unworthy of receiving the support of any honest man? ; pi ij . - . iMwuid wc not look upon the question .. . . , . 1 1 as a direct insult to our understanding. a violation of the Constitution, and a deadly enemy to that harmony which should crist among the people. Fellow citizens, the question respecting a division o! Dearborn county, had its origin most undoubtedly at Liwrenceburgh -a source which should at once condemn it, when we relied that not one single measure which ever ori- ! ..:.......! ... " i i i .. i ...... ;ui.u-.u ai iaw i tainjoo rgn, nan any other end than self-interest, and the injury of Dearborn county in general. They have now resorted to the hobby of division as a kind of forlorn hope, hoping thereby to get the lower and back parts of the county to assist them to elect men w ho, if elected, w ill be ready and witling to convulse the county in a second county scat struggle. Will yon sustain the foul attempt? Will the . i - PeoP!e of Dearborn county permit them, prostrate as they are, again to rise and sting them? Will thev warm a viper unto life to be bitten by him? Surely the experience of the past two years has taught them belter. Peace is now v, hat every good citizen desires, and therefore I feel assured that the "pi:ndcnt yeomenry of Dearborn ."oil ill t- II I YnwTi linr.n nvurv 1 1 I r m r t county will frown upon every attempt to excite new dilcu!tv and animosity. Let us then, fellow 'Citizens, be active, for we have enemies to combat, ever vigilant, and willing to use any means to accomplish their desired ends. Let us meet at the ballot box, on the first Monday of August, and there by our united voices silence the clamor of otir enemies, and entomb the question of division forever. fiat justmtia. TEXAS. From the Louisville Advertiser of yesterday we have made extracts from iSew Orleans papers of the 20th, received by the Farmer, which contain some important news relative to Texas. It will he seen that the war is not oia , and that the Texians have been rather premature in declining to receive any more volunteers. From present appearances they will need all they can get. ,'Jllnis company of4iBuckeye Rangers,"1 which it was said were desired by the Agency at New Orleans to disband, w ill perhaps arrive just in the nick of time, and yet stand -a chance ''for glory and for spoils." Of late ull yurulalions in Tex tan affairs have resulted contrary to expectations, and we w ill not now venture to hazard any, except the opinion, that the contest about to he resumed, will be bloody and protracted -Cin innrdi Kve.nisr Post. The New Orleans Bulletin of the 1 7th ult. contains a communication announcing the arrival, in that city, of the Buckeye Rangers, from which we copy the following extract: "I !apl. James Allen, with his gallant c k Buckeye Rangers, has arri Wtlllll VI ved from Cincinnati, in the Steamboat Farmer, and will depart immediately for Texas. Having become well acquainted with Capt. Allen, his oflicers and men, 1 speak knowingly when I declare, that a more intelligent, chivalrous and brve company, has never rushed to the rescue of the intrepid but suffering Texians. Cunt.

The following most important ex tra! of a letter received by a highly respectable gentleman of Ibis city, has been handed to us for publication. I he statement made, in the communication having been verbally verified by sever al persons from the place where it j dated, leaves ns no room to doubt of its correctness. It certainly displays, in a -Inkiiiir demee. the determination of the people of Texas to keep a fast hold cd i he old lox, Santa Anna, until they receive a pi oner guaiantee that they shall not be again interrupted in the peaceful enjoyment of freedom. ri hope they willstill persevere in flic same resolution. Vrxvsco, June 4lh, 1 830. I have but a few moments to inform you and others of the state of things here. We arrived at Galveston on the oOlh 3May, and on the 'id June were ordered to repair to this place, where we arrived on the same evening, on hoard the Ocean. We found the place in great confusion in consequence

of the Cabinet having sent Santa Anna on board of a vessel to send him home, for the purpose of having a treaty ratified which was made by them. The people were opposed to his going, but h;;d not an individual commissioned to

be their leader On the morning ef the 3d inst.

The day was celebrated in this village by the Society of Even Fellows. An oration was pronounced by Mr. J. E. linuiir, to piile a irge auilieuee, at the Presbyterian Church. I'he boys nlao celebrated with a dinner by themselves. At Wilmington, there was an immense cencourseof people. At 1 1 o'clock, a procession was formed, preceded by the Hand attached lo Messrs.

It would he useless to do so, be cause it i only a repetition of the oft repeated attempt to divest the people of their will and to retain the County scat at Lawrenceburgh, in opposition to the best interests and expressed will of a large majority of the peo ple of the county . The writer ot this article says the Associates i will not join the President Judge; and after I saying he cnleilains the highest esteem for

Jud-e Ei;le?toii, he proceeds to gic a liutury of thu re location of 1827, alter the couit house had been burnt; and then a history ef the recent re-location at Wilmington, together with a lone; statement of the proceedings of the luwrencburc;her3 in court against the removal to Wilmington. The arguments ho makes use of, if we are informed correctly,

are the same in substance which were read by Gr.oROF. II. Hcsn, l.'q. before the Judiciary Committee, in the State Senate, last winter. Thce arguments, it fact, amount to nothing; f ir there is not a man in the county who has any moral or political honesty about him, but must admit that it was the intention of the 1'eople and of the Legislature, in their every movement, anil in their every action, that the seat of justice should be re-located ; and that re-location was conducted according to law, from.beginning to end. And all honest men must admit that Wilmington is now the seat of justice of Dearborn county, both dc facto and dc jure. This is the opinion of Judg cF.ggleston, a gentleman w ho possesses as much legal knowledge as the lawyer who writes for the Palladium, and a gentleman, too, who has no otherinterest but to discharge the duties of a hirh and responsible judicial station. Hut the people of Lawrenceburgh will not look at things in their tnie light. All their care is to attend to their own interests; and their interests always have been to oppose every other spot in Dearborn county , but their own town. The opinion of the presiding- Judge in this case, is one of much importance ; and it goes to show conclusively that ho wishes to do w hat is right and just. It is not to he wondered at that the Associates refuse to Fit with him at Wilmington. If f hey did, they would be burnt in e'.figy in Lawrencebnrch, on the spot, and it would be political death to them forever so that they mvst submit to the People, of Law renceburgh rather than to continue the courts of tlie counly. Judge Lggleston car. do noth ing, therefore, for we are told that the Clerk has "sworn ten ibly in Flanders," that the Records fhall not go t- Wilmington! The People can now sec that flircc men have it in their power to stop our court ; ; and those three men are ait identified with the Lawrenceburgh interest. The writer for the Palladium says if he "were clothed with judicial poire r he would put INS veto upon tiiis eternal removal of county seats.1' Ne. doubt of it I What a pity it is th;rl some of the high -tc:'ed aristocrats of l .an reiici buri,h, have not a lllllo more power, that thej might do more than they have done and are doing ! Totvcr ii what they have always been grasping for it is what they want. They wish to trample upon the voice of fiec-im-fc, and make all sn.bfcn id't to their will. Ct;r time will rust permit us to pursue thi.3 scribbler for the Palladium any further at present. Hut we think it more than likely that ere long, the 'veil will he drawn aside, and the People w ill see w ho it is that is thin selling tin in at deli. nice, and making mock and ridicule of their dearest ami bcsl rights. (kj The individual who wrote a long fanfaronade for the l ist Palladium, against holding the Circuit Court at Vilmiiigton, makes use of the follow ing language : "All know how easy it is for some prating demagogue to get up an excitement against a county seat." We should be extremely glad to know what prating demagogue got tip an excitement against Lawrenceburgh, in the spring of I'.l'Jl. Wc were not in tiie couhly at that time, but we know that, that excitement originated w ith many ol the firsi. men in our county men of high and exalted principles liien of honesty and Worth, who had suffered for j ears from the debasing and grovelling policy oT the aristocrat-) of Lawrenceburgh. We might say with truth, thai excitement was spontaneous throughout the lower and central portions of this county. Hut it is thus that the Lawrenr.eburghers have always spoke against any one who had tho independence to oppose their base misrule. Mow will the people in the lower end put up with web language? How easy was it for a few "prating demagogues'" at Lawrenceburgh to gel up an excitement about a division! Orj'The. I i II to provide for tho distribution of the surplus revenue among the several States, according to the ratio of representalian in Congress, has passed both houses of Congress, and received the signature of the President. According to a calculation we have seen, Indiana will receive, in the year 1837, the sum of six hundred and twelve, thousand dollars. It is to be paid quarterly, commencing on the 1st of January next. Iji)i:rr:iKNCR of '1'kxas. The select committee of the Senate appointed lo take into consideration the memorials in relation to the Independence of Texas, made a report or. the Ulth ult. through its chairman, Mr. Clay, concluding with the following resolution: llcsolvaf, That the independence of Texas ought to be acknowledged by the United States whenever satisfactory information shall he received that it has in successful operation a civil Government, capable of performing the duties and of fulfilling the obligations of an independent power. THE INDIAN WAItS. We have nothing from Florida, except that the Indians keep up their predatory attacks, with almost uninterrupted impunity. More decisive efforts have been made against the CrccUs. Gen. Jcesup has
