Public Notice.

A late number of the New York Christian Advocate and Journal contains an interesting letter headed “Greece as it is,” from the pen of the Rev. Dr. Ou.t, late president or RandolphMacon College, Virginia, and president elect of the Wesleyan University, Connecticnl. It is dated at Athens, December 19th, ISddJ In h he «ayr; ! “L ‘.bar*

The citizens'of Switzerland couhty, Indiana, tfffberebj notified that the undersigned, candidate for a teat in the State Senate or Indiana, will address hit fellow-citizen* at the following tlmcs-und places: At Yoik, on Saturday the 30lli day of May, 1S40, at one o’clock, r.-sc.

postrr TowksuIp, May 19,1840. Me; Stsvsxs:—I am no politician, nor do I aeek office from cither political party. My occupation is that of a farmer, and in that capacity, anrrounded by a small family, I little doubt, but that I have more substantial joys, than even the successful ambitious politician. Thus situated, I feel a deep interest in the .approaching pojiti-,-caI cantctu lly only atmety is, thiXthe affaiw of state policy, and that of the general government, may be so conducted, os to result in the greatest good to the great mass of the people. And when I avow this to be my chief aim,. I cannot but lament the two extremes ofbolh parties. The excitement is too great, dangerously high—•and I fear wilt result in evil. ' Harrison and Van Durcu is the cry by day and by night. Every thing connected with principle, and justice, and sound policy, is sacrificed to (be. shrine -of a few political demagogues. Out own State interests are overlooked. The dearest rights we enjoy are swallpwed up jn one general enthusiasm about nothing, yea, worse than nothing. Thousands,' and tens of thousands, and millions, in money and time, is lavishly expended— the jmorals of the people corrupted—luxurious habits increased—great pomp and show indulged in, contrary to the genius of cur republican government, and fatal to Iter perpetuity. Such things should not be tolerated by the freemen of America—the good sense of every citizen should be aroused with indignation, against such a course, whether he is for Harrison or Van Buren.

A public meeting has been held by the citizens in the court-liouEe to-day, at which Col. James C, Wilkins presided, and F. L. Claiborne, Esq., was Secretary. Address?# were delivered by.J, M. Hewitt and J. M. Duffield, Esqrs., and resolutions offered by the latter gentleman, and others appointed relief committees, Acc.^Scc.

Lower still probably in Denmark, where notes are Issued of the value of about fifty cents of curfcncy 1 . Lower still'in' Sweden, whirc notes are circulated of the value of six cents . Federal money.

The greater nan of the ruin wag in the short space of from three to five minutes, although the heavy sweeping tornado lasted nearly half an hour. For about five minutes it was more like the explosive force of gunpowder thap any thing else it could have been compared to. Hundreds of rooms were burst open as sudden as if barrels of gunpowder had been ignited in each.

Politics for Working Men*

The currency of Texas exhibits the condition to which whig hankering after Inflated prices would reduce the United States, if they.could get the currency fixed to their mind. There is no limit to the amount of paper money in Texas, and prices there are as high as the federalists most anxious for the distension of our paper bubbles, would -desire. Flour Is selling for $100 per bb). corn for $14 per bushel, and pork for $75 per hundred. But mark the wages of labor, and see how sadly the working man falls short of a compensation proportionate to the enormous prices paid for subsistence:—His wages is but $3,00 per day—it should be at least $30.

“What trick,-what device, what startling hole xan’tt thou now, Whiggcry, find out to hide thee from this open and apparent shame? 1 * Ma. Editor:— In looking at the actions and principles of the two parties, one is struck at the frankness of sentiment and simplicity of character of the one, and the secret machinations and unblushing deception of the. other.— The principles of the Democratic party require ,no secrecy—no falsehood, and no misrepreaen tattoo of facts. Not so with our adversaries.— They have no one principle but opposition to the Democratic‘party. From the greai**availaMe,” down, down,'and down through every grade of tbs pie-bald parly, 10 a few political mushroom federal falsifiers in our own town, secrecy of political sentiments, and secrecy of associations is their motto? They hypocritically charge ■the Administration with extravagance, misrule, corruption; which, they say, is the cause of the present distress. To prove this, falsified, spurious documents—lying speeches and federal sheets are introduced as evidence. In our little idwn they have established a secret Harrison •Club to gull the more honest and unsuspecting of tBelr party aod deceive the people, and more effectually'-to succeed in their nefarious deeds of darkness.
