The county is believed to be now below . I the constitutional limit; and to ro to the i j , t. V. c.vpeuse anu irouuie oi a survey, 10 ascertain a fact that has long been settled bv the surveys made by the General Government, looks to me like nonsense. Should I be so fortunate as to receive vour suffrages, I would however, be directed in this matter by the clearly expressed will of the majority of the voters ofthe county. Secondly, I mn opposed to the present system of Internal Improvement, adapted under the Mammoth Bill,' and now in progress at Eiich an enormous expense as to t reaten the people with runious oppressive taxation. As the best method of arresting the evil I would go in for an unconditional re peal of the w hole bill ; when that ts done, j I would be willing to take two or three of i the most prominent works, now under con- J tract, and progress w ith them to completion, as fast as the ability of the State i would warrant, without a resort to heavy taxation. By this means the state would ! be enabled to complete the most prodnc- j tive works and ascertain by the receipts' from them, w hether it would be policy to j engage in others of less supposed utility. 1 I would aid in carrying on the Wabash r.; e l r .u. remu uuc fallal, us mi u (iiu ciimis oi ; Ohio would jastify, so as to moot the State at the line, and open a continuous line i of water communication from the Wabash, to Lake Erie.

upon the operations ofthe Bard. Thej Board has too mu-h power. All that the! friends of classification ask, is the pas ' page' of some law, taking away from the! board their discretionary power, and com-', pelhng them to confine their operations to! the most important works. This is all we ask; this is all any one asks. We are not opposed to the system of internal improvement, and neither are the advocates of classification. We shall strenuously oppose any attempt to strike out of the internal impiovementbill any works embrac ed in it. Lvcrv work can b made with out resorting to taxation, if classification

The Hon. if hn I) imont, in-1 maintain the credit ot the Stale B uiks, as stead of being an opponent to improve- j forming under proper regulations and rcment, was one of the early and efficient i forms, the only practical substitute fr a supporters of the Wabash and Erie Canal, i United States Bank; and their only deand he has always been an advocate of a i fence nirainst the dangerous scheme of a

prudent and economical system, of such "jstem as tne mean? and resources ot the:

the people with taxes. His speeches have made a very great impression, and so great has his popularity became, that the friends of Mr. Wallace have been obliged to resort to slander and defamation. They

I speak of the injirmitles of the Hon. John j Domont, and even go so far as to call him a "sot and pot-liouse wollower. Ut the private character of Mr. Wallace we have never spoken. We have never alluded to the reports of the ill-treatment of his former spouse, which are believed to be well founded, and we have never alluded to his dailv habit of resorting to groceries we have never alluded to his breaches of his hospitaliiy or indeed to any of his derelictions in private live. His friends may brand the Hon. John Dumont as a sot, but we say that Mr. Wallace drinks tw o glasses of grog to Mr. Dumonl's one. The attempt to destroy Mr. Dumonfs popularity by their false reports will onlv recoil back upon themselves. Ind. Democrat. David Wallace, candidate for Governor; addressed a respectable number of our citizens at the Curt House on Thursday evening last. This visit was unexpected from Mr. Wallace, therefore his audience were principally citizens of Vevay. We shall not undertake to give a general Mvetcn oi tnc character ot ins speech, as we are unable to present it in full, lest we might by some be thought prejudicial; ; nor shul we presume to point out the items therein with which we differ from him.

The following sensible review of that porti -not tiov. t ampl ell s message, to the Lc lslalure f V irgmia, which relates lo the currency and the Banks, is from Ithica 1 (V .) Journal, one of the most sterling , and nblv conducte.1 tlemocratic papers in The message of Governor Campbell, was transmitted to boih houses the same day. Fr:i the message of the Governor, we extract the following paragraph in relation to the currency and banks: "77frc arc those who would have no B .nks. either State or Federal, and are for enforcing an exclusive, matalic circulation. This project in the actual condition ofthe country, I believe to be wholly imj practicable, and the agitali .n of it at this period could have no other effect than still I further derange the business, and oppress every interest in the community. And I i consider it ot the highest importance to a j powerful and ov ershadowing national institution. 1

The views of the Governor, as expressed in the above extract, are correct, and we trust will be maintained by the democracy of the old dominion. The Richmond Enquirer, we are gratified to perceive, coincides with Gov. Campbell, and expresses a belief, founded upon information obtained from the members of the Legislature from all parts of the State, direct from their constituents, that a large majority of the people will sustain the sentiments set forth in the passage. It is time for the people to take a stand upon this subject, and not suffer themselves to be led blindfolded, by clamorous demagogues, into wild theories, which can never be carried into practice in this country without blighting that general prosperity which has rendered this one of the most flourishing countries on the Globe. What

rational man, who has any knowledge of the extent of our business, and the manner it is and should be carried on, whe has a just estimate of our vast resources for the employment of capital and credit, can advocate the entire prostration of the credit system? A system which has enabled the poor young man, and those in moderate circumstances, with industry and a knowleilgo of trade, to enter into business on their ow n account and go on prosperouslv, acquiring a competency for the frugal support of themselves and families in the decline of life, as the reward of their early toils. The thing is impracticable. and the sooner the visionary theorists who ' advocate ine annihilation oi the credit sys tem, are put down, the better it w ill be lor those who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. We have not onetenth part enough specie in the country lo transact the immense trade carried on in commerce, agriculture and manufactures. The effect of an entire mctalic circulation would be to divide the people into two distinct classes, and create an aristocracy which would be intolerable in a country where freedom was once enjoyed. Without the aid of banks, voung men destitute of capital, although they may possess a thorough know ledge ol business, and be every way capable of conducting it prosperously on their own account, could not embark for themselves, but would be competed to toil through life for some more fortunate man, though perhaps less worthy and enterprising, who has inherited a portion of bis ancestors patrimony, as a mere clerk, or underling. Destroy the credit system, and you strike a more fatal l l- vv to equal rights, than any other which could be devised. The credit svstem, un der judicious and wise regulations, should be fostered and protected in every country, where the field for enterprise is as wide as it is here, and where the precious metals arc as scarce. Gold and Silver are not the only articles of value, and while proper care should be used to procure a liberal share of it, upon which to base a circulating medium, it is not requisite lo dispense with evey thing else for that alone. Our banks, heretofore, have not been properly restricted, nor had experience shown the necessity of a greater curtailment in their issues? but now, when the lisrht of experience is before us. we should correct existing evils, without destroying one great source of our national and individual prosperity. We go for all reasonable reforms in our credit system, but when the axe is raised to sever the roots, which are as essential to the growth of the body as blood is to animal life, our hands and voice shall be raised to ward off the blow which brings desolation and ruin upon our once and still properous and enterprising peo- ! pie. In the language of Gov. Campbell, we believe that it is necessary "to maintain the credit of the Slate Banks, as forming, under proper regulations and reforms, the only practicable substitute for a United States Bunk," and we are half inclined to think that a great portion of the clamor raised against them is with the view, and for the purpose of destroying our state institutions, to favor a "dangerous scheme of a powerful and overshadowing national institution.1' We do not wish to be misunderstood on this subject. We go for reform, in. but not the destruction of our banking institutions. Reduce the issues ofthe banks to the capital actually paid in nnrl rut oft lllO small till Is aS SOOll aS sneeie cnoueh to supply their places can be produced' so as to make gold and silver uthe practical currency of common life, the universal medium of ordinary transactions in short, the money ofthe farmer, the mechanic, the laborer, and the trades man. while the merchant should be left in the enjoyment of the facilities of a sound and restricted paper currency tor his tar ger operations. 1 Ins is what the great body ofthe American nconle desire; this VI' is what reason must dictate to every un prejudiced mind, and this is the stand which the democratic part)' of this State should take, with a full determination to maintain it against all the theories and dogmas of visionary upstarts, who, with the "good of the people" constantly on their tongues, would deprive them of the last vestige of liberty, by throwing all of our institutions into one common ruin, for the sake of building up themselves, by getting into places which they arc wholly unfit to occupy. CUMBERLAND ROAD. A considerable portion of this road within the bounds of Indiana is now under contract, and so far as our observations have extended, the contractors and proceeding with a desirable energy in the prosecution ofthe work. The commencement of operations on the road, under the law, it is well known have been extremely lardy; but when the subject is properly understood no blame or censure whatever ought to attach we apprehend to the worthy individual, Capt. Ogpen, who is charged with this branch of the public service.

The result is properly attributable, mortitying and injurious as it has been, to the language of the act providing for the appropriation and the action of the government thereon. The law of the last session removed the difficulty resulting however from the peculiar phraseology of that of the precious one. In future it is hoped that no such embarrassments will again be thrown in the way. Indiana Journal.

The following interesting and cheering speculations, we copy from the Charleston Patriot ofthe 8th inst. Resumptton of Specie Payments. From all the indications that usually, accompany the return to specie payments, after a suspension during peace, we entertain no doubt that the period for resuming them is much less distant than many imagine. From the limited orders sent out for goods, the return of cargoes to England of imported merchandise, the failures of parties indebted abroad and the gradual curtailment of their issues by the banks, we feel assured that these causes, acting concunrently with the shipment ofthe approaching crop, will bring the Foreign Exchange round. We feel no hesitation in saying, that there will be a returning tide ofthe precious metals in the fall and winter, in exchange for a portion ofthe next crop. The balance of pavements will, bv the time it comes fullv into markct, be nearly liquidated. The first movements in the resumption will of course be made by the banks in the commercial towns, which will compel those in the interior, for the balances which will arise against them, to follow their example, or publish their own insolvency. Things are now taking this course gradually." Provisions are a trifle lower than last week. Flour is dull at $11 a $11,25, w hich, in the present adverse state of exchange, insures a loss to the importer of wheat. There is probalby no more of consequence to come from abroad, and we trust importation will never more be needed. Five million bushels have been brought in since ihe first of January, adding some five million dollars to our debt in Europe, and increasing by so much the load under which we are groaning. The stock on hand here now is two hundred and fifty thousand bushels. A cargo of new wheat from North Carolina arrived en Thursday, and probably commands $2 per bushel. At Baltimore, the market has opened at $1,75. Corn commands 81,10 here. About 12, 1)00 barrels of flour ( Id) have come down the river the past week. Very little else. We hope enough Southern flour will lave come in by the middle of August to brine the price dowu to ,910, so that Western will open at that price. We un derstand the Rochester millers arc con tracting to pa L'JS fr all wheat delivered this m uiih. At this price, thev cannot well afford fllour fir less than S10. Aetc York July 22, FLYING ARTILLERY. An Expekimnet. A Frenchman in the Texi.vn army, a scheming, inventive hall crazy soul, lately made an experiment of what he called flying artillery, which in the sequel well niiih cost him his life. In the first place the Frenchman pur chases a mule; on his back he places a six pound cannon, heavily loaded. The muzzle of the cannon, was pointed in an opposite direction from the head ot the mule. Whether that the mule would prove mulish, refractory, and unwilling to advance head first towards the enemy, or wlurtheGal thought he could do better by backing up towards some "deedly im minent breach" we know not. It might hive been intended as a kind of stern chaser for ought we know. Having fully equipped himself, our he ro started for a place where he understood j some hoslile Commanches were lying in ambush. Planting his force, consisting of himself, cannon and mule on the sum mit of a hill w hich commanded a thicket where the Indians were supposed to be lurking, he assumed a hostile position by turning the tail of his mule in that direc tion from whence he expected and was anxiously wailing an assault. There he kept his ground for a lono time without any man:estauons oi an at tack. At length his small stock ot patience was entirely exhausted and finding that no attack was to be made upon bin) by animate, he determined upon giving inanimate creation a small sample of his flying artillery, just by way of flyer. lie peiinted his six pounder in the direction of the thicket, took his bearings, mode his calculations, and blazed away. B ills. slutTc. iVe. went down one side of the hill with the greatest velocity r i enchman, mule and six pounder just as fast down the other the recoil ofthe cannon being so great that it sent the mule down the hill with the swiftness of lightning, whether he would or no. On finally bringing up, after having ran entirely down the first hill and halfway up another, the Frenchman began to collect his scattered senses finding himself alive, he broke out w ith "sacre! I vonder how many dom Ingen I kill. By gar, dc next time I try my gran experiment, 1 v ill get nic von mule vat vont run avav as though the diable was after him. Dis artillery he fly to quick." We have not heard whether he has made any further experiments with his "flying artillery." Ar. O. Picaune. AX AFFLICTING SCKXE. Several days since, we published an account ofthe shockinir mutilation of a little girl at West Springfield, Mass., bv a mar dog, and ofthe amputation of her left arm, in consequence of the dreadful injuries she received. We have just conversed with a lady who not only a witness ofthe attack of the doir. lint was present when the little sufferer's arm was taken off. Some further particulars ofthe dreadful

misfortune may prove interesting to our readers. The little girl is the daughter of the late Major Joseph Ely, and is about ten years of age. Some time in the afternoon, her mother sent her across the common to a neighbour's house on an errand a distance of some 40 reids. She had but just set out on her return, when the rabid animal C me running towards her, chased by several men, who gave the alarm. She immediately dropped some articles she was carrying home, and ran back; but the dog overtook her, and seizing her by the arm, threw her down, and shook her in a violent manner, until the arm was completely torn into strings below the elbow. Her arm was so badly wounded that immediate amputation was thought necessary, and the tree physicians present proceeded to the task. The little sufferer did not

murmur while the doctors were depriving her of her limb, but peevishly remarked that "she believed they were cutting her arm off because she could not shut her hand." While sawing the bone, she inquired if they were not sawing her mamma's rocking chair to pieces. Just after the painful operation was over, her nvither came into the room, when the little girl turned her head towards the door to sec who was coming, in w hich effort she accidenlly saw her wounded arm lying on the table. She then, for the first time, burst into a violent fit of weeping, at the loss of her arm. "Mother," (said she) "the naughty doctors have cut it off, and now I can't hold mv fork any more, when I eat my dinner." It was full an hour before she could be pacified after learning her unfortunate loss. She is now recoverning, and will soon get entirely well unless the horrible disease ofthe dog should prove to have taken effect in her system. Ar. Y. Sun. DISTRESSING CASUAHTY. S r. Clairsvillk, O. July 22. We are again called upon to record one ofthe most painful and melancholy deaths that we. have ever heard of, which occurred in this neighborhood, about two and a half miles north west of town, on Wednesday morning last. Seldon h is the annals of misfortune produced a case more shocking to the sensibilities, or one more painfully dest re.1-sing. E uly on the m rning alluded to, a lad named Isaac Hoilingstiead, in the employ of Mr. B.irton F indie, had been to town, and on his ret ut n home, was attacked bv a large dog bcnlonginir toJesse Iloge, seized by the legaud draw n from his horse, and before the f-.milv co aid g i to his rescue, the ferocious animal had torn and mangled his head and face to such a degree ihat he died almost instantly. The boy was about twelve vears of age, and rather stout, but not sufficiently to defend himself against the ferocity of the animal. An individual passing along some hours after, was also attackeel bv the same dog, and although armed with a large club, he with the greatest difficulty was enabled to keep him from pouncing upon and massacreeing him in the manner he did the boy The savage animal was shot during the day. (iazcttc. Shocking Accident. An explosion took plrce this (Friday) morning in the house No. 420 Greenwich street, occupied by Mr. DeGrotc, gunsmith, by which the building was terribly shattered, and the whole neighborhood somewhat injured. The building was used as a powder-store, and the accident originated in the careless throwrng of a Loco-Foeo match on the floor. We learn that three persons were seriously injured one of whom was the w ife of Mr. DeGrote. Ami Yorker. Declaration of War nv Buenos Ayres against Peru. By the ship Brutus, B lenos Ayres papers have been received to the 27th of May. The British packet of that date contains a Declaration of War by the Republic of Buenos Avres, sgainst Peru, now under the protection of Gen. Santa Cruz, who is also President of Boli via. Chili declared war against Peru some time ago. So there arc two against two; Chili and Buenos Ayres, against Bolivia and Peru. All the Republics of South America are thus mingled in the strife, except the Banda Oriental, and the (del Republic of Columbia, now divided into the three Republics of Equador, NewGrenada, and Nenczucla. Aff. Intel. The Great Ship Pennsylvania was launched from the Navy Yard at Phiadclphia on the 4th of July, w ithout accident or untoward occurence, and in the presence of an assemblage magnificently estimated at 100,000 persons- She mounts 130 heavy guns, draws 25 feet water, mainmast 132 feet high, 4 feet in diameter; tonnage 3,000; length of keel 11)5 feet: elo. deck 210; do. from figure head to stern gallery 240. Her complement is 1,000 men. The ode made about her in the brotherly city for the last few months has been characteristically prodigious, and the gratulatioii at the successful launch is most unbounded. We don't yet understand whether the Philadelphians will oi will not let their children play with the New Yorker's any longer. Hard Times in Michigan. We have seen a letter from Adams, lillsdale co., Michigan, dated Juno 18th, from which il appears that there is much sufferings in that section for the want of food. It states that all the provisskiiM in that town would not last over three weeks, if they would more than one, that some families hid nothing to live upon but milk, that others had only a scanty supply of bread and potatoes, and and that meat could not be obtained. It also states that the cost of gelting provisions is half as much as they cost in the first place: all they ask for is j bread. I he crops are said to look well.

Emigrants Retcbntng. The difficulty of obtaining employment, and making suitable arrangements for their future comfort, has induced nearly three hundred emigrants to return to their native home within a few days. From bOO to 1000 are now ready to follow, and will sail in a short time. The most of them have been here but two or three weeks. Thus excessive emigration will readily correct itself. Tne influx of foreigners to this country will be governed by the same laws that govern trade. When they can find no employment or means of settling themselves comfortably, the infix will cease. iY.
