As evidence of the state of the public

mind in Jefferson county, in reg-uu all absorbing question of Internal Improvement., we take the ng senile . re

marks from the address 01 m. rWilber, a candidate for the Legislature m that county: . , "I come' now to the all absorbing subject of the Internal Implement act of 1S35-G; and in approaching it, I confess some difficulties are presented 1st. n is urcred that by breaking down the system we destroy the credit of the State by such vacillating policy, and 2d, that the State has already borrowed about one million, which will" be almost an entire loss if the system is abolished. In answer to the first, I will remark that if the system is perpetuated, the credit of the State will. I hpIiAve. lie inevitably sunk; for no State

can stand the payment of the interest of

fuirtv millions of dollars, wnicn is conceded the works will cost, by the friends of

.the system, and the principal m uiinv veers'without destroying her credit, when there is little doebt the works collect lvely would require to keep them in repair all

In our course heretofore we have been actuated bv the belief that Judge Taylor was the strongest man against Wallace, and in favoi of Classification. We are not still entirely decided in our opinion; yet we are free to confess, that indications at home, are of late favorable to Mr. Dumont, and of the indications from abroad we might say the same. Should this continue to be the case, we for one, will most cheerfully give him a hearty support. We believe it to be the duiy of all parties, who have the good of Indiana at heart, who wish to transmit to the children the inheritance of Freedom, to be ready to move in support of a man, who may save us from ruin and disgrace as a Slate.

violators of the laws of the country, or those who still encourage, either by precept or example, outrages on the rights of our citizens, the peace of soeiety, or the majesty of the laws, then the public ought to point them out as unworthy of confidence, and deprive them of their charters. When banks become machines to temper the pride of insolent, domineering upstarts, or heartless speculators on the distress of the community, they ought to be abated as nuisances which corrupt and brutalize, instead of promoting the prosperity and happiness of the country.

We arc entirely Milling to merge party politics in this contest, and go for Dumont,

although a wing, if he be a stronger man

less one or the other of them be ruled off,

they may both be beat, for although the friends of ' classification," form a large majority, yet if that majority be divided, the minority may succeed. For ourselves we want to go for the strong man against

IinmbiiaA to talk of classifying, w

put back one work would at any time leave the friends of the system in the minority. Gen . Stapp has too much honesty to think of it, but for an experiment I miht go for one work not the Canal down the valley of White River, or Wabash, but a work that was estimated to cost one million and three hundred thou

sand dollars, commencing in Jefferson count-, and running through the centre of Indiana to Lafayette, and which unquestionably would pay if any will : if not proceed with this. I am no classifier. There

fore, if I am correct in my views, we raise the credit of the State, which was placed in jeopardy by the former legislature. I would not now advert to taxation, was not the present the first levy for Internal Improvement, for every one can see that it

is very moderate that our taxation tor State purposes is only increased two hundred per cent, from last year, and that thirty or forty thousand dollars will be Taised from this source to pay for Interna! Improvement purposes, or nearly half the salaries of the commissioners and engineer corps, and other contingencies of the system. The public spirited State of Ohio put forth her energies and constructed a great canal, connecting Lake Erie with the Ohio, a work which the valley of the Mississippi contributes more or less to sup-

milhns, about one half of what it would now cost, j et with all these advantages.

not one of which we can lay claim to for

any work of ours, yet it pays less than half

the per cent, which is paid for interest on our loans, and the good people of Ohio get along well by pav ing near a dollar on the hundred for taxes. In ordinary times, Indiana requires about sixty thousand dollars to defray the whole expenses of the State, add the interest on thirty millions loaned for internal improvement at five per cent.; although the State bonds arc now raised to six per cent, will be one million five hundred thousand dollars present revenue sixty thousand will make one million five hundred and sixty thou

sand dollars to be raised by taxation! Will the people of Indiana consent to mort

gage their property for such an enormous

amount? I think not, indeed, I believe

they would take up arms to resist such op

pression. In devising a plan to indemnify the State for what she has lorrowed, I vill remark that I am in favor of modifying the system by putting an entire stop to all the works as soon as existing contracts are out, and allowing stockholders to take half or two-thirds of all, or any of the works for which they will subscribe, the state to take the balance, the expenses al

ready incurred by the State to be a portion

of her stock

plan cannot be doubted, when w e reflect

that one patriotic house in Madison offered, as I understand, under the old Rail Road charter, to take stock to cover half the distance from Madison to Lafayette. There are many arguments to be adduced in favor of such a system; such an advantage by the Slate may be granted to all companies for such works, making it alike just and equitable to all, and before the Si? tc commences a wild scheme of internal improvements, wealthy individuals will come in for their share of responsibility, and under such circumstances no fears need be entertained for the welfare of the State. Let none charge me with acting the demagogue; I have ever been oppos

ed to this system, and mount no hobby;

in fact, many of my personal acquaintance think my course in opposition to their in

terest, so that I am compelled to sacrifice their supposed present speculations for the

public good. I have thus extended this communication to a greater length than 1 should have done but for giving my views

half past nine and two o'clock, poured incessantly and in torrents; the clouds frequently seeming to open and pour down their contents in floods. Between one and two o'clock, the time when the citizens generally are buried in the deepest sleep, the alarm was given that the stream which runs through the city, known by the name of Jones' Falls, had overflowed, and that water was pouring into different streets and alleys, filling the lower stories and cellars of the houses, and sweeping every thing before it. The unseasonable

hour and the stormy character of the night, combined to make it difficult to rouse the inhabitants even in those quarters which the impetuous element had invaded and was threatening with devastation. So suddenly and unexpectedly did the water rise, that the inmates of many houses in the Meadows and the vicinity h?d scarcely time to leave their beds in safety; while others were hurried from sleep to death,

From the Logansport Telegraph. Our circumstances in Indiana have been materially altered since 1S31. We have established a State Bank, with Branches, which were in successful operation up to

the 19th of last month, when the suspension of specie payment by the eastern

Banks was announced. Oar State Constitution has wisely prohibited the establish

ing of anv bank or banking institution within its limits, except the State Bank and Branches, which shall not exceed one for every three counties; and the legislature has formed a B -..ik law in every way protecting and guarding the credit of the State, the rights of the people and the interest of the stockholders. In this institu

tion our people have vested their capital; :

and although this hank has been compelled tutions of the country to suspend paving specie for its notes, we know that it is perfectly solvent. Each Branch is responsible tor the conduct of the others, and the State, to a certain extent, for the whole. It is impossible that our bank so formed should oreak it is on as permanent a basis as the State itself; and its paper should pass at par every where, especially within our own State. So much it is believed, cannot be said for many if any other State or locol banks in the Union. The suspension of specie payments has not taken place for want of ability to redeem our paper, but to prevent a drain of the precious metals from our banks, to be earned by waggon loads to the eastern cities, and shipped beyond seas to foreign countries. This step it is believed was proper in those who manage our banks ; and the writer will not be surprised if specie payment is not resumed for years. Those

who read, surely have not forgotten how long the suspension of specie payment lasted wiih the Bank of England from her

suspension in 1797. And will it be pru

dent in us to attempt what lircat Britain could not accomplish when she embraced

the commerce of half the world. The public men of Indiana, whether they arc in favor of a State or National Bank, or no bank at all should not act rashly. It is within the power of those who control

Tho practicability of this hcr hanks to sustain our own citizens, or

to depress the value of property and bring

rum on many of our most honest and enterprising men by a sudden and rapid deprcsion in the circulation of our bank paper. Our paper will pass amongst us in the payment, because we know our banks are

solv ent ; and the Banks should reduce their present line of discounts but little and very gradually, if at all at this time. While our banks do not redeem their paper with specie, why curtail its circulation if its circulation can relievo the people? None is so stupid as not to sec that it will reliev o us. The writer with due deference (o the opinions thrown out hastily, no doubt, and in time of the excitement produced by the state of things which surrounded Mr. Samuel Merrill, the president of our State Bank, doubts the policy of tho rapid reduction which he proposes in the circulation of our paper,and intends to enlarge on this branch of this important subject in j our next paper.

The Banks. There can be no period more appropriate for investigating the conduct of banks than the present. the public and the stockholders have a right to know how these institutions have performed the duties for which they were chartered. The character of the men who have managed them, and of those to whom their favors have been dispensed, ought seriously to be considered, both by the stockholders and the people. If they have been yielded by shavers, rpeculators, notorious

"In the course of our walk (says tho American) we entered a room where father and mother and three children were lying dead. They had been caught asleep, and must have died almost without a struggle, as when found thev were in the attitude of rest, and displayed no marks of suffering. As we entered the house in which they were lying a poor little girl passed us weeping bitterly ; she was the only survivor of the family, and had escaped owing to the circumstances of her having been out at service."

"I, the undersigned, was born in Morris county, New-Jersey, and enlisted in the spring of 1770, (then in my 17th year) to serve as a private soldier for one year in the American Revolution. I emigrated to Hampshire county, Virginia, in the fall of 1781. I do not know of any fellow-soldier in Virginia that served in the 3d N. J.

At a meeting of the citizens of Aurora, convened at the Methodist church, in said town, on the 20th of June, 1837, Daniel Bartholomew, Esq., was called to the chair, and Thomas Folurk appointed secretary. Whereupon, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, at a meeting of Delegates from the sev oral townships in this count-, hold at Manchester, on the 13th clay of May last, for the purpose of nominoting suitable persons to represent the county of Dearborn in both branches of the next Legislature, who would be in favor of classification of the public works of the State of Indiana, and also opposed to agitatinw the local affairs of Dearborn county. And whereas said Delegates did, agreeably to the wishes of their constituents, and the settled practice of the Republican Tarty in our country; nominate and recommend certain individuals as Senator and Representatives, to be supported at the next August election. And whereas, it has been reported that the citizens of this town, will not support such noniinations,tharcforo Rcsolrcd, Thai wc retain the fullest confidence in the ability and integrity of the individuals nominated, and that it is with much regret we have learned that circumstances have rendered it necessary that any of the individuals so nominated should deel inc being candidates at the ensuing election.
