inestimable friend and^quili-driver of the Latfrenccburgh. Political Beacon, in his sheet of the 25th January, we are informed, (its fair dimensions haying from come cause or other been withheld from us that week,) in an article intended for the Dearborn County .Democrat, makes use ofour name in divers shapes and forms, for bariog some time since copied an article /roiri another paper,'in allusion toliis 'epurse. AVc arc told the Beacon man exhibited symptoms of great dissatisfaction towards us, ;but did not know how lo venl his spleen.It i« extremely unfortunate for us that we should have incurred the displeasure of a man of so much consequence, ahd such transcendent ulema, as JIiLTOiri. bjf circulating any remarks to his prejudice, especially ihj this county where his paper has such an cxfcnxicc circulation. With alt due deference to his EuVerior greatness, we are inclined to think our Triced Milton has befin actuated by the governing influence of the/J&ney-/>urK lately made Jup for hint by the feds of this county. i

To judge from our advertising columns, persons abroad are no doubt led lo believe there,are no goods for sate in'this place. This is a mistaken idea altogether. Our town is well supplied with stores, but it i« a notorious fact that none of them are doing a land-office business—whether this can be attributed to their neglect in advertising, or a scarcity of money, we do' not pretend to say v .

Judge Bitter and the 8r»tcm.

efory of Michigan,” which wo.published in a previous number, has turned out to be a'confounded hoax,. v:

Tho. following extracts from so Indianapolis correspondent of the Wabash Enquirer, touching upon some of the past acts of. Judge Bigger, the ndmince of 'the Whi|j Convention for Gov, crnor,pl5c*o his identity the Internal Im- ! provemeiiJL System beyohd'a shadow of doubt,—The writer says: . * - - • “After considerable’trouble. In tho rank*. the nominations for Governor* and Lient. Govprnoi: were made, by which, 'you will see, that David Wallace and Judge llillis were quietly laid upon the ehelf. Judge Samuel Bigger, one of the sUongest'tJniied States Bank men of the Slate, andjbrmerfy ah opposer of tbo State Bank ; of Indiana, Sut .now,’ 1 suppose; its friend, is the pominoa for Governor, and Samuel Hall, somewhere in the south, the candidate for lieutenant Governor.* Judge Bigger on being nominated mounted the rostrum and addressed the Convention very briefly. He said bo was & Harrison man;, and after thanking the Convention, said that on the subject of Internal Improvement he, was coweireoftM, and that (having veiled fqr the survey, 'which was the ground* of I be system,) he would do every thing in his power to sustain the State in her undertaking. He said he had opposed the State Dank, as it was a measure of the ijoco Focos, (meaning 1 suppose George H. Dunn amongst the number, who drew up the charter, aud who had just addressed the Convention,) to pul down the United States. Bank. Aa to the present opinion of the State Bank, ho was silent—thereby indicating my plainly, that it was not his interest to oppose lha. institution now. Oft the subject ol the passage of the system bill of 1836, he related a circumstance that attended the passage of that most glorious measure. ■ When the news reached Uushville, his present residence, (all the members of that county having voted for the bill,) the whole town was in an uproar. A loco foco, who kept a* tavern, had been hired to hand out his liquors profusely to the populace. Judge Bigger was" lyme at tho time on a sick bed, wh-‘re he had been confined ’for several days; but so great was his enthusiasm, that he got up and went, where he says himself, all present got most gloriously fudddledon this most-glorious occasion—so much, that an honest blacksmith, as he reined, who belongs to the temperance society, and was never known to drink beforeor since, got so gloriously drunk, on the internal improvement whiskey, that onteturning home, he endeavored to drive one of bis neighbor's cows into his blacksmith .shop and shoe her. By this flourish; I presume', he- -wishes it to be understood that he goes far ahead' of Gov. Wallace, who is now too much of a classifier to suit some of the rank system men in their internal improvement notions.. Not having-voted for ihe bill of *36, what are called the anii-internal improvement whig*, think they can gull the pco- • pie in this way.. - In the Internal improvement counties, Judge Bigger is to tell his story of get : ting out of a sick bed and getting drunk on palefaced rot-gut, in hohor of the glorious system of carrying out the principle, that the deception ib the motto of the whigs, and that tw i deception alone can they triumph. ... \“Sinco last writing you, there is alt kinds of : trouble in the- whig camp hero, about the noroinaiipda for Governor, and Lieutenant Governor. That arch and conning fox, Qaleb B. 1 Smith, the ingenious Fund Cotnmissionef, who was associated with l)f. Coo, about tho time of the purchases of the celebrated soap -and candle factory and the water lots at Brooklyn, has complcte-i iy rpit-gcne railed the- friends of Wallace and forced Judge Bigger upon them against many of their better judgments, “\ValUc0’a friends, since the nomination, have been busily engaged in examining tho journal!. The old musty records of 1834, ’3C—the last year that Judge Bigger was in the legislature—have been dislodged from their quiet resting place among the archives of the Stale, and 1 like Banqoo’s ghost, stare the wouId-bc-Gover- . nor in the face, and drive from the imagination all the golden dreams of those who thought it necessary on account of internal Improvement opinions to lay the pretensions of Governor Wallace upon the shelf. 1 "1 wrote you, in my last, that Judge Bigger
