Indeed, whilst on the in h. an-J. the farmers who sold at Viueennos did not fjenendlv receive as liigh p. price ior their pork, as was given atTcrre Haute or Kvc.n'-viUe; on the other haul, the packers at Vmeennes have not g onerly received at the 'last, as hig!i a price as pork packed at ot!;er points lias command 'd; and the reason is the 8amj: the want of a sufficient establishment to slaughter ihw lios, to save the olTtl, and to pack the pork in the best manner, all on the most ceonomLa! u-rms. In this all are
interested. Such an establishment will secure to the Farmer at Vincennes a reg ular market, full competition, and ths full price for his hogs; and it will secure to Vmeennes an increase of employment for coopers and laborers, and an increase of trade f.r the merchants and mechanics. We are happy then to inform our readers, as wo did on one other occasion, that Mr. Joun M. Cook of Hruce viile, is now erect inir a larcje establishment, for slaufhterinrr and packing pork; one sufficiently extensive f r tiie present wants of the Vineennes market. It will be ready at the opening of the season, to accommodate resident or foreign purchasers of pork; and after that it wid not be in the power of a great New York commission merchant to say, as one suc.i omv last year said to one c our citizen. " i our Vine nnes pork can n t command full price it i: not properly handled.'' fQ The lgis!amro of Alabama, by a late decision of the people, will hereafter meet biennially, or once in two years, and wo suggest to our own Legislature the propriety of passing an act, author izing a vote to be taken at the next Angtift election, to obtain the sense of the people of Indiana upon this subject. In the present state of the financial condition of our State, wo think that every means should be resorted to, to lessen the expense of the government, and by adopting the course suggested, if approved by the people and we feel assured it would be by an overwhelming majority tho expenses of one session of the Legisla ure wouM oe savei and the county expenes fir ln!diug an election each year. A litdo h-ss Ugirlation would d no harm, we think, but much good. TooUboro' Times &. New Boston Advertiser. Wo noticed the? paper some time ago, and are constrained to do so again from the fact, ilui i it is among the very best papers published in the West, end neatest in its appearance, as wed as the cheapest, when all tilings connected with it are taken into consideration. As a literary journal it is making rapid strides in attaining eminence; and by calling to its aid a host of w riters, purely western, it is doing a good act; for we believe, that if our own writers were more encouraged, talent, equal in every respect to that of the Cast, would be found among us, which for want of proper encour igenient, has hitherto been dormant. Local prejudice has sometimes a ?ted as a damper upon such as might earn a name in the paths of literature; as the local papers, which circulate only among those w ho are familliarly acquaint ed widi the writer, in many cases envy him the dislinclion lie may acquire. In a paper wi lei y circulated, the case is different, and different results follow, as a writer knows that, although M prophet is not without h mor.snvp in his own country, and in ids own town,' stili, if he turn to other towns, and other judges, he may hud his eiions appreciated.

We copy the following from tht paper, under date id' the 10th inst., which, in its application, will fit other latitudes than that of Indianapolis only. It reads thus: "Intriguers are for the most part selfish and interested in all their motives and actions. Fut this remark is liable to exceptions. There are co; ain individuals who are truly patriotic, who are addicted to the habit of prosecuting their designs by a secret and artful management in preferonce to a frank and open course. Hut as ?!1 kinds of dissimulation are irksome to most minds, the majority are unwilling to practice it, except for the sake of promoting a se'iish advantage. There are not many who will forego the pleasures of sincerity from patriotic or beuevolent motives. I leuce it is true that the majority of dissemblers are peculiarly selfish. The idea of selfishness is almost inseparably connected with that of intrigue and management, ami so far us a benevolent or patriotic citizen allows himself to practise it, he exposes himself to the accusation of selfishness. It may be said, with truth, that the majority of politicians are intriguers. Without a certain degree of maneuvering, they would be obliged to saeridce many points, which are essential to their advancement. They must affect to have been the advhers f successful measures w hich they really opposed, and the opposers of many unsuccessful measures which they really advocated. The whole political game, on all sides, is not more a game of skill than a game of deceit; and to meet with s'iccess, by a perfectly frank and honest course, requires so much more ability than to meet with success by an artful course, that men of ordinary abilities, like ihe majority of politicians, are most r : prudently to prefer the latter man of inferior abilities, is ambition to enter the purr ' finds it necessary to pra- .'-' i expedients to place himseif ::: men of strong minds.

MANY CITIZENS. Indianapolis, Feb. 29, 1843. To the Public. Fellow-citizens of Knox county, I take mis inetiioii oi interim ng you, ttiat on Wednesday the 10th inst. I setded with the new School Commissioner, Andrew 1'urcell, with the assistance of James Johnson, banded over all the books, papers, and vouchers, that came into my hands since the transfer and settlement at the Auditor's office. Six years ago your kindness placed me in the office of School Commissioner three years since you also manifested the same kindness by reelecting me to the same office. Now as my official career has terminated, it is right for me to inform you that, during the six years, 1 have received, loaned, and distributed about nine thousand dollars, and one hundred and thirty-eight dollars and s'uvty cents, of the September divi dend, had not been called for, which is paid over to my successor, that die Treasurers that have not drawn, can get the money by apply ing to him. It is a source of much gratification to me to think that so much money has passed through my hands, and 1 be able to account for every red centto my successor, without any sticiung to my hands, or being minus one iota. Such is the case, and 1 am proud of ii, and I ttnnli the. good people of Knox are likewise, when we call to mind the many defalcations in the counties round about. I here state, that Mr. Puree!! and Mr. Johnson both were well satisfied with my settlement, and I refer the people to them. Take away a man's own self-respect, his pride to do right, and when entrusted with the responsibilities of an office, to discharge the duties of it faithfully and impartially, and to acquit himself of all Llame, and what is lie, I say nothing. Now friends and fellow-citizens. let us begin anew; I have endeavored to do my duty, my own principles prompted me to it which I believe to be tlie same with the mass of mankind, to wit: moral and political honesty. Notwithstanding my heavy loss on Illinois money, I have, with the aid of my own funds, paid up to the very last farthing, and retire from office with tlie consciousness that I have done right, and that every unprejudiced man will be perfectly satisfied. With great respect, your obedient servant, JAM LIS S. MAYES. Vmeennes, Sent. I"i, 1815. i: s; lux i ti: l i u i; i:. ARRIVAL OF TUT. CALLDOMA. 15 Days Later From Europe.

The annexed summary is made up from the Eastern papers: The accounts from tlie country speak rather unfavorably of the crops, and intra particularly the wheat crop, but buyers ol wheat and flour have but a slight advantage in prices, the inference from which is that the crops are not so bad asitVas supposed they would be by tho last arrival.
