litical sentiments of Messrs Dumont and Wallace, the candidates for Governor, in ; regard to the present system of internal ; improvements. IT.,..; ....-li" , ,1 . -,k Having made nnsclt acquainted with I . n .. the sentiments ot Mr. Dumont, upon tlnsci absorbing question, I take the liberty of : communicating them to vou. K T 1 f 1 ; j a to the Journal ot the k.c- j Bv a reference nate of 1S33 and 3G, at which session the bill providing for the present system of internal improvement passed, you will discover that Mr. Dumont voted against it; and by a reference to a speech made by him at j that time, you will find him making usa of 1 the following language : I The gentleman may argue in vain that j

and proclaims mv acquittal. 1 " When has a measure of internal improvement, beneficial to Indiana, been proposed, that has not found in me a zealous, if not an able advocate T I call upon the gentleman to point out one single instance, in a political life of twenty years, in which I have voted against a measure which was to advance the interest of the people at large, simply because my imme diate constituents did not derive a direct advantage from it. The gentleman may search for the time, the place, and the occasion, but he will search in vain. I have always been, and shall ever be, :a friend to a judicious system of internal jmprovemetiL M ky, -fhen, (he friends of the mammoth mon?tcr arc ready to enquire, do you opoose the passage of this bill? Why do vou oppose a measure of such vast benefit to the State? Why raise your voice against a measure which, without taxing the people, will raise Indiana to an eminence tar above her sister States, and increase her wealth, her population a hundred fold? I answer, Mr. President, that my opposition arises from an honest conviction that our State is yet too young to embark in a measure of such magnitude. And an increase of taxation will be the inevitable consequence, even if the present loan of ten millions will complete the works. But, sir, I am confident that that sum will he entirely inadequate, and that the cost of j the contemplated work- ,1 . ' times the present estimate. But, sir, if this bill shall be pr-ssed over my head if my voice shall have been raised in vain in opposition to this measure, one pleasing reflection will still be left me. and that is, the curses of posterity will fall lightly upon my head." Thus we sec what Mr. Dumonfs sentiments were at the first introduction of this bill. We see that his views were at that time correct, and that his predictions as to the cost of the public works, and the consequent increase of taxation, were prophetic. Wc see, that although his enemies charged him with being opposed to internal improvements, yet his opposition was but the opposition of a father checking the heedless course of a reckless child. What Mr. Dumont's opinions are with regard to the course to be pursued now, may be learned by reference to a speech delivered by him, in favor of a bill introduced by Gen. Milroy, for classifying the public works. I regret that I hav e not the speech before me, but many of your readers must recollect it. He is unequivocally in favor of classification. The sentiments of M,. Wallace are in direct opposition to those of his opponent. He maintains the position that the system

; must be upheld, as it is. to the coiHoquenwlnt iV- mm- i

Dreadful Disaster, with loss of LiivcsBh ruing of the Steam Boat Ben Sherrod. One of the most melancholy disasters that ever occurred on this river took place on the Sth iust. about 1 o'clock in the morning. The steamer mentioned, com manded by the truly unlucky (to use the mildest term) Capt. Castleman, on her way up the river, about 14 miles above Fort Adams, while racing with the Prairie, caught fire, and in about one hour and a half was totally consumed to the water's Out of about three hundred i.assengcrs and crew only seventy have been saved. The yawl sunk, and those who escaped saved themselves by barrels, planks, trunks, &.c. Of those who esca ped we have seen and conversed with James P. Wilkinson, Esq. and Mr. Stanfield, of Richmond, Virginia, and Mr. Daniel Marshall, of Moscow, Indian. The scene as described by Mr. Marshall was tiuly heartrending. While some were confined to their births and consumed iVy the flames, others plunged into the stream to find a watery grave. The steam boat Alton coming down the river by the wave she created, drowned manv who would have escaped to the shore. One lady who attached herself to Mr. Marshall, and had clung to him while they floated four or five miles, was at length drowned by the wave of the Alton while she implored the boat's crew for assistance and mercy. Mr. Marshall was supported by a flour barrel. Only two ladies out of twentyeight who were on board have been saved one of these was Mrs. Castleman, the Captain's lady, the other Mrs. Smith of New Orleans. It is said by some that the Captain of the Alton did not hear the cries of those who implored him for assistance as he passed, but there is no excuse for the monster who commanded the Prairie, for leaving a boat in flames, without turning round to afford the sufierers relief. He reported her on fire, on his arrival at Natchez and this place! Great praise is due to Capt. Austin of the Statesman, and Capt. Littlcjohn of the Columbus for their humane efforts to save the passengers of the Ben Shcrrod. leksburgh Sentinel Sitrkme Corur.

'pi, to suspend, but to ny the specie. J he 1 11 t citizens held a meeting and resolved to , ... - -, c , , i sustain them in it as far as possible. j .... ... 1 he suspension ot specie payment seems 11 . .... 1 1 to be very generally lustihed on the ground I . .1 1 .1 T I I 1 that it was the only course the Banks could pursue to save themselves of being drained of their spcci?, as would doubtless have been the case, had they continued to redeem their notes. The demand for spccie in England is very great, and it is even said that the moneyed afiairs of that coun - try are in a worse condition than ours; and hence, to save thcir own credit, a run would have been made upon this country for specie. From what wc can learn from our exchange papers and other sources, wc would state that there can be no cause for alarm in regard to the solvency of the Western Banks, or the value of their paper, and those who hold their notes should not part with them at a discount. There are none of the Ohio Bank notes but what are perfectly good, from one dollar upwards; and if any of our patrons wish to pay us in such money, we will gladly rc - ccive it. The Indiana and Kentucky Banks, it is well known, are perfectly solvent, and able to redeem their paper. VALUABLE DISCOVERY. Mr. William Dotsox, residing in this vicinity, informs us that he has made a discovery which will prove of incalculable benefit iu preventing the ravages of the caterpillar on fruil trees. This discovery is simply to take wool, fresh from the sheep's back, without being washed, and bind the outside round the tree, and then .... . ..it. .. t .,.1. .1.1 i . ..i mm a oiiiMi open me siiearcu part ot the i wool, so that it may spread out as much as possible. Mr. Dotson says that he gave this a fair trial, and while the caterpillars were destroying other trees in his orchard, not a single one, in three days, had got on a tree which had the wool bound round it as above described. There is something in the wool which prevents them getting over it. The remedy is simple; and as the caterpillar has been making serious ravages tins season, we recommend a trii al of Mr. Dotson's discovery. - foul MURDER. j The Indian ian contains an account of .i ,i i i i , 1 I '"' unI)rovokcd mm',,C' j wh,ch hits -vet takcn I)1:lcc 1,1 our Pcacca hie and orderly State.

The opposition to the present ruinous and extravagant system of internal improvement in our State, is progressing as rapidly as could be desired or expected. It will be seen from the extracts which wc copy every week, that counties in wV;c'h no aid was looked, for arc, coming v.'p to the rescue; and resolving to assist in doing something to avert the projects of speculators and monopolists and to put an end to their wild career. And it is gratifying to perceive tlwit those who compose these j meetings arc the friends of a liberal and judicious system of improvement, such as the State "can commence and complete i without oppressing the people.

What do they say now to the Albany election? Madison Banner. "What do they say to the Albany election?" Why, we say that in nearly all the cities and large towns, Mr. Van Burcn was beaten. This the Manner knows very well; and it also knows that although Mr. Van Burcn received a majority in Hamilton county, yet (Jen. Harrison beat him in Cincinnati. So it is the case in Albany. In the county iu which Albany is situated, Mr. Van Burcn received a " triumphant majority" a majority far overbalancing lhc vote of Albany. So what is there to be gained by asking such a silly question, and raising such a shout of victory? The cities and large towns may go against us, but in the country we can count up votes; for there is the place where democracy dwells where it is always cver-grccu it flourishes among the hard yeomanry among men who think and act for themselves, and who arc not directed nor con trolled by Bank intrigue, or speculation in stocks, or the value ot city or town property. This is what we have to say to lhc Albany election. 07-A writer in the Conncrsville Watchman, styles our grand system of Internal Improvement, a system of " Internal Jj-. travagancc.y Verily, this is well said, yet it might also be called "a system of Inter not Corruption and Speculation," ns it was corruption and speculation which eecurn.l I its paseagc.
