RISING SUN TIMES.

FOR THE TIMIS AND JOURNAL. TO THE CITIZEN'S OF DEARBORN" C O. Having been announced as a candidate to represent this county in the State Senate, I improve this early opportunity to publish my views on the subject of the present system of Internal Improvements in this State. Careless, indeed, must be the citizen who has not observed, that since the es

tablishment of the Banks in this State, the

same individuals who legislated themselves

one million three hundred thousand dollar

of our money to Bank upon, have, ever

pincc, or those in their interest, compose a majority in the Legislature; that th

same Bank speculators were the origina

tors, and have entered into our present

general system of Internal Improvements

for profligacy and extravagance heretofore

unheard of, regardless of our resources

our wants, the cost of construction, or any

future prospect of reimbursement, but with

a view, it would seem, to construct rai

roads and canals on such routes, and to terminate at such point-, as would enrich

themselves bv the sale of their real estate

investments.

That you may form some idea of the re

suit that will follow this course, know that

the Legislature have been compelled to in

crcaso our taxes two hundred per cent, o

ver last year's rates, to meet the actua

outgoes of this year, when only one and a

half million is vet borrowed. At that rate

I ask, how can we pay the interest on ten millions, for w hich a law is already passed, which amount, with incidental expenses, will be at least six hundred thousand dollars, and the proportion of Dearborn county about one-fifteenth of the whole ? To govern us in estimating the amount of taxes we will oc naVou t. i to pay hereafter, bear in mind, that the. vhole expenses of our State Government have uniformly been about fifty thousand dollars per annum; and look atone item naid last year, of one hundred and twcjitv-ninc thousand dollars to Engineers, andincidental expenses. Look at the letting of the

Madison and Lafayette rail road, of w hich twenty-two miles have been put u.ider contract, at an average cost of jorty-sever. thousand dollar- per mile, that was estimated to cost but eleven thousand! But this is not the only expensiv e work in progress. There are many others; so many that to complete thoiyi all I believe n estimate is below twenty-five millions of dollars.

f a majority, laying aside all personal

feeling or interest.

In conclusion, I have thus frankly laid

before you my opinions, believing it the onlv course a candidate soliciting the inde

pendent votes of a free people ought to

take; and should a majority think prope r

to elect me, I will be proud to serve you.

1 am, respectfully, your fellow citizen, " GEO. P. BUELL. February 2- 137,

February 13, 137.

Cd7"Shorlly after the commencement of

the present session of Congress, Mr. Wise

of Virginia, took exceptions to a certain portion of the President's Message, in relation to the condition of the Executive Depart mens, and oflercd a resolution for

the appointment of a committee to inquire

into the abuses and corruptions of the said

Departments. The resolution was adopt

ed, and the committee raised, with power

to send tor persons and papers. The com mitteo adopted a resolution requesting tin President of the United States, to commu

catc certain information to them. Below we give the President's reply to the chairman of the committee; and we ask all be they friend or foe to the President to give

it an impartial perusal.

with ability and integrity. In vour speech

you denied this; you charged them with manifold corruptions, and abuses of trust, as

you had done in former spetch.es, to which

vou referred; and you demanded an inves

tigation .hrouch the medium of a committee.

Certain other ' members of Congress, as appears by ti e published debates, uni

ted with you in these accusations; and tor the purpose of ascertaining their truth or falsehood, the committee you demanded was ordered to be raised, and you were placed at its head. The first proceeding of the investigating committee is to pass a

series of resolutions, which though amend

ed in their passage, were, as understood

introduced by vou calling on the I resi

ed for its enemies than when Santa Anna!

commenced his wretched work of cowardly

murder. It still continues to be asserted that the Mexican force now on their way to Texas amounts to 15,000 men. A formidable force this to attack a thinly" populated country and a rural population. But when it is considered that a virtuous valor, as remarkable for humanity in victory, as self tbrgeit'idness in the impetuosity of battle, distinguishes the choice spirits who are to oppose the besotted and imbecile race, whose ignorance is leading them to thendoom, mere numbers need not excite much scnsi.iiou (if alarm for the cause of liberty and the spread of Americanism, in both

made, it was to have been expected that

some exciting question of minor importance, for the purpose of electing themselves, or such Representatives as will be subservient to their interests only, in the Legislature? Are not the consequences to our State, and to the agricultural interest, inevitable? Will not the emigrant, cither with or without capital, shun our State? Will not the planter avoid improving his farm and the country, by building good houses and barns in a State where thc

meals, the ability and integrity w ith w hich they have been conducted, the vigilant and faithful discharge of the public business in ail of them, and the causes of complaint from any quarter, at the manner in which they have fulfilled the objects of their creation,' be referred to a select committee, to consist of nine members, with power to send for persons and papers, and with instructions to inquire into ihe condition of the various Executive Departments, ihe ability and integrity with which ihey hac been conducted, into thc man

I approve of an impartial, prudent system of Internal Improvement, such as the resources of the State will justify, w ithout oppressing its ciiizcns; though I freely acknowledge a preference for turnpikes over rail roads. But I am opposed to this system that requires the borrow ing of from twenty to forty millions of money opposed to the State lending its credit or money to a company of individuals either for Banking purposes or making rail roads. I am opposed to the Banks having exclusive control of one-half of the surplus fund, so justly returned by the General Government to those from w hom it emanated, and will oppose tilt) increase of taxes. The late exciting local question I consider of little importance, compared with other objects, and if elected, I will not interfere, except on petition, in which case, so far as there is no constitutional objection, I will endeavor to gratify the wishes

in any manner, odicially or i.notliciully, in duties pertaining to the public interest, have fulfilled or failed to accomplish the objects of their creation, or have violated their duties, or have injured and impaired the public service and interest, and that said committee, in its inquiries, may refer to such periods of time as to ihem may seem expedient and proper.'1 It also appears, from the published proceedings of ihe House, lhat this resolution was accom-

I panieel and supported by a speech of con- ' - I I.I I I I s.

sideraiiie length, in which you preferred many severe but vague charges of corruption and abuse in thc Exccuihe Departments. The resolutions adopted by the committee, as well as that adopted by the House itself, must be taken in connection with your introductory speech, which gives a character to the whole proceeding. When thus regarded, it is obvious that, by the resolution of the House, an issue is made with the 1'rcsidoiit of the United States; as lie had alleged, in his annual message, that the heads ef the Executive Departments had performed their official duties

lice, bv which I engaged, "to the best of

my ability, to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States," and for this, and other reasons ofthc most solemn character, I shall on the one hand, cause every possible facility, cenisistcnt w ith law and justice, to bo given to the investigation of specific, tangible charges, and on the oilier, shall repudiate all attempts to invade the jmt rights of the Executive Departments, and of the individuals composing the same. If after all your clamor, you w ill not make specific charges, or bring no proof of such as shall be made, vou and y our associates must be regarded by thc good people of the United Stales as the authors of unfounded calumnies; and thc public servants, whom you have assailed w ill, in ihe estimation of all honorable men, stand fully acquitted. In the mean time, I cannot but express mv astonishment (hat members of Congress

should call for information to thc names of

country from expatriating themselves, or

from removing to a foreign Stale and becoming citizens or subjects of it. If one-! (bird ofthc male citizens of (he U. Slates were to determine lo emigrate to Texas, our Government could not prevent them from carrying their determination into effect. It is hoped that Mexico will soon become sensible of the folly and injustice of her course, and communicate to our Government her willingness to make ample reparation for the outrages of which we complain. .She weakens herself ami strengthens Texas by making war on ihe commerce and rights of our citizens. Every fresh insult increases the sympathy which has been so operative in favor of the Tcxians and that is not all. Mexico may proceed so far as to make it necessary to exctour military and naval power, to vindicate our honor and punish aggression. We think Mexico will find enough to attend to, if she will contemplate the factions that divide her,and the force arrayed v gainst her in Texas, without courting a war with ibis country. The policy of ihe U. States is pacific, and the confidence felt in our ability to redress our w rongs, at any time, has hitherto
