tlemanly efforts to inj ire mo in their estimation I am well aware of the disadvantages I must labor under in the contest for the Clerkship now going forward, and the means my epr.oncts calculate upon to push me to lhc wall at the eve of the election. The power and patronage of the offiice w ith its huge train of influences, are to be put in requisition, on the one sidesympathy excited latent feeling aroused;
w hue on the other, I shail hive arrayed against me a host of f; mily connections, extending from brothers, uncles, cousins, to Ihe fiftieth V.egrce of kindred, backed by w ealth and the poisonous influences of local, sectional feeling. -Even now, it is said and believed, that money and munitions to kill the senses at least, if not the body, are being placed at different points in the county, to be in readiness against the dav of election, when at the cry of "havee," the war dogs will I e let slip upon me. With such an array of power, of patron
age, of kindred, of interests against me,
standing atone, as .1 do, without a:-irlt
bkxkt connection to lend a. helping hand; uo money, no patronage to bestow, it might well be expected that I would shrink at the prospect before me, and retire from so unequal a contest. Bit I am not discouraged. Conscious that I have done nothing to forfeit the good opinion of the people of Dearborn county, I shall nerve my arm and go forth to tbe contest in the panoply of truth and honesty, trusting that the great arbiters, in this matter, (the peo- . P'e.) will be w ith, protect, and deliver me trotn out of ihe hands of ihe Philistines. I would warn my friends and the public to be on the look-out.

McAdamizcd Turnpike. The great cost of a rail road on this route, as shown by the report of tlie engineer, it is supposed, induced-the Bjard to question the propriety of coustructing that kind of improvement; and the fact that no arrangement had yet been made with the Salem and Ohio Turnpike Company, as is required
by law, induced the commencement of the work, north of Salem, instead of commencing at the Ohio river, as has been the policy w ith regard to other works.
A delegation from the county of Fountain presented a request, that some expression should be made of the sense of
the Boaixl.m reference to the terminating point on the Wabash, of the Wabash and Erie Canal, it being alledged by the delegation, that reports from interested quarters had been made and were still industriously circulated that the, Board would break faith, by refusing to make arrangements for the ultimate continuation of lhc canal, south of Lafayette. In answer to the call, the Board promptly resolved that ihe policy heretofore adopted by it, in relation to the commencement and prosecution of the public-works, and disclosed lo
me vjcnerai Assembly m ihe annual report of the Board, would not be departed
lrom; and that a division of the canal, south of. Lafayette, would be put under contract at the earliest. period comoalible
with existing engagements. Mr. Yandcs is authorized, in pursuance of law, to cause a survey and estimate to
be made on Uie Michigan road, through Logansport, South Bend md Laportc, to Michigan City, with a view of ascertaining the most practicable kind of improvement to be made; provided-Michigan road fund can be procured for the purpose, and report to ihe Board at its next semi-annual meeting. Mr. Yar.des is further authorized to expend so much of ihc Michigan road funds, as may remain (if any) after making the survey, in making tenipo ary improvements on.ihe road, front Napoleon to Lake Michigan so as to keep the road passable, agreeable to l)ie law of last session, on the subject. Mr. Lewis is directed to sell the canal lands, reserved from sale by the old board of CanaL Commissioners pursuant, to ihe rcquiiemcnt of the act of 4th February, 1&37.
spirit of the law of Congress convey the idea that the. State of Indiana is to determine the necessary length of the canal, keeping in view the great objects cf the grant. When, therefore, the Slate, after a critical survey, has found it necessary for the puipose of commerce, to construct the canal
further down than the mouth ot 'lippceamc, a corresponding extension of lhc grant of land follows as a matter of course. The question however, has been already decided, so far as precedent can settle it, by the construction given to toe act of Con
gress, in respect lo the eastern portion of the same canal within the State of Ohio. It is wed known that the canal has been extended several miles down the Man nice further than the point originally selected t . .. !. .. , ii. ..4 1 , , . , ..I ..

portion of the river which furnishes at no time less than six and half feet water and it is understood that the General Government has acknowledged the right of Ohio lo select lands for that portion of the route. As the lands along the route of the canal are mostly. sold, the State of Indiana will, tit i i i . i.i
uouoiicss, ne autnorizcu to select elsewhere, in lieu of them, as has been the case on iho eastern portion of the grant. Such, at least, would seem to be but sheer justice on the part of the Executive Dcpartme n t . Wa bash Courier.
dcr tho direction of a commission of five j indi ideals, who shall receive adequate!
The Board of Internal Improvement, held a meeting recently at Indianapolis, at which it was determined to let to contract, a portion of the Albany and Crawfordsville road, this fill. Under all the circumstances, we arc at a loss to understand how they cxpet to pay for it. They have already let contracts for about ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS over what the Fut.d Commissioners have been able to borrow:
and from the present condition of the money market, one might suppose thev could not even, hope, that any further loan will be effected for some time, if ever. They should also recollect, that thev have severally taken a solum oath, that the fifty thousand dollars appropriated to the Wabash river, shall be expended out of the
first loan cllectcd. We do not wish fo be fault, fnders. Besides, there arc several individuals on the board, whom wo prize very highly as personal friends, we dislike to say aught agaiast them. But, as faithful sentinels, we feel bound to condemn their proceedings, and say, that it seems to indicate much less regard for the public welfare, than it does tor the.gratifieatiou of a g:eed, discontented set of individuals, who would be nullifieis if ihcv w.cro to see any other part of the State getting a dollar, which was not to be cut into halves, and divided with them.
