which every man, however poor, is bound to render his country in time

vice is bound of war.

Should the subject ever resolve itself into a question, whether the lands shall be ceded to the States within which they lie, or their proceeds be distributed among the several states, it will be the duty of your representative to examine the subject measurably as a question of dollars and cents, and to take that course which promises the greatest profit to the State. In the event of a cession, provision should be made that the Stales shall not advance the price, for without such restriction

there would be danger that the lands would be relied on to supply the State revenue, and a reduction of price and early occupancy be more distant than at present.

With the growth of our country in population and wealth, becomes more evident the necessity of commercial avenues. Much the largest portion of the population of our Western States, is found in districts not touched by navigable waters the people have no facilities for the transportation of their surplus produce to market, they have no interest in the commercial exchanges of the country, and it will be difficult to convince them that Congress consults "the general welfare," by making large appropriations of money, derived in part from them, to promote foreign commerce, to the exclusion of that of the interior.

That large sums of money, drawn from all through the custom houses, should be appropriated every year, ex, clusively to objects in which the Western States have but a remote interest and appropriations to objects in which we have a deep and abiding interest withheld—objects too of so kindied a character, as to present in

I am in favour of internal improvements, with or without a system. I would divide the money collected from all among all, and esteem those readings of the constitution of the U. S. which go to exclude the people of the Western State, from a participation in the expenditures of the General Government for commercial purposes, as nothing less than refined deductions, which in the correct and practical administration of the government should be exploded.

In conclusion, fellow citizens, allow me to say, that the many other questions, involving your interests besides those here adverted to, and which could not be discussed within the common limits of a circular, will when I personally visit you, receive from me the same candid expression of opinion and should I finally be the object of your choice, it will be my wish, as well as duty to comply with your instructions, and my whole time, and an unyielding perseverance shall be devoted to the promotion of your interests.

Respectfully, fellow-citizens, your humble servant, WM. C. LINTON.

a po-

litical point of view no tangible differ-ence-cannot longer be quietly acquiesced in. I know of no difference between the commerce of the sea board with foreign conntrics, and the commerce of the interior with the sea board. There is no difference, in my opinion, which confers on the former, superior claims to the favor of the General Government, except as it is connected with the subject of revenue; and as in that particular, we have an overflowing treasury, there can be no good reason, I think, for continuing disbursements to protect and promote foreign commerce, unless it be likewise for the beneficent intention of aiding the industry and encouraging the enterprize of the citizen, and in this light the citizen of one State has as strong claims as the citizen of another.

I would have the Government pursue a liberal course towards every section of the country would protect and foster foreign commerce, but at the same time, and in the same ratio, I would stimulate the industry and enterprize of the interior, by multiplying facilities of intercourse and exchange. It is objected to internal improvements, that no system can be devised for their prosecution, and that improvident expenditures may sometimes be made. But is this not necessarily the case in many other respects? Is any branch of the public service free from occasional abuse? I think not. On this subject I experience no difficulty. In the hands of the Representatives of the people, I believe the power of selecting objects for internal improvement, as safely lodged as the numerous other powers exercised by them, and even if occasional abuse should result from making appropriations, to objects less important than others, still the money would be distributed among the people from whom it was obtained, and they would be amply remunerated in the many certain and striking benefits which would follow the policy.

TERRE-HAUTE, IND.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1833.

WE are authorised to announce WILLIAM C. LINTON, Esq- as a candidate to represent this (2d) District in the TwentyThird Congress. For Mr. LINTON'S Circular, see the preceding columns.

VIRGINIA.

The Legislature of this State, for a few weeks past, has been engaged in making itself ridiculous on the subject of South-Ca-rolina Nullification. By that species of egotism, so common in the character of some of her statesmen, she may at least raise a laugh at her folly, without gaining any respect from her sister States. A proposition submitted to the Legislature, to appoint an Ambassador to the sovereign State of South Carolina, for the purpose of prevailing on the latter to suspend her Nullification Ordinance!, was the signal for a lengthy debate in which her orators, great and small, parti cipated largely. High encomiums were paid to Virginia—to her "chivalry"—her "magnificent attitude"—her "mighty influence" -—with all the et ceteras which usually make up a savory dish of flattery of one's self. The poor North and East, as a matter of course, got roundly rated for their devotion to the Tariff, which the "generous South" imposed upon them in auld lang syne, very much against their will. By the fervor exhibited in these speeches, one who knew no better would suppose that Virginia was all in all, and that the other States of this confederacy were mere specks, to be rubbed off or put on at the pleasure of this self-import-ant matron of the south. Far be it from us to think lightly of that amount of moral and political worth which properly belongs to Virginia, or to speak lightly of her opinions, whether correct or erroneous. But it is re ally carrying the joke too far, when she attempts to dictate to her sister States what is the true policy of the country. Making light of the opinions of other States, is not very well calculated to gain favor for her own. We hold that a State is a State, as we do that "a man is a man," whether he is rich or poor, or whether his opinions are advanced in refined or homely phrase. All have rights, to be exercised according to the dictates of duty, without loooking to the beck of even so decent an old lady as the "Ancient Dominion." New-England, the land where the

American liberty was first rock-

ed," is now scowled at, because, true to sound policy and American independence, she will not aid to introduce English pauper labor in preference to the industry of her own mechanics, and in building up aristocracy in Europe, by the prostration of democracy at home. The time has gone by, however, when sectional denunciations could influence the public mind. Vapouring, like that practised in Virginia, can have no weight, while the People of the other States continue to respcct themselves. If the South feels oppressed, the world knows the cause; and that oppression will never cease, we fear, till she rids herself of the degraded African race within her own borders. Her "chivalry" (about which she discourses so eloquently) would be much improved by letting the bond go free. Virginia should know, and very soon will, that her importance is much overrated by her own sons.

A Bill is now before the Legislature of Illinois, for the establishment of a State Bank, with a capital of $600,000. Like a similar project in our own State, it appears to find favor with the People and, like that, also, it is probable the politicians in the Legislature may kill it off, and escape— "responsibility" The People or their wishes are little thought of in our day.

BANK DEBATE.

We devote several columns of our paper, this week, to the discussion growing out of motions to postpone the Bank Bill, in both branches of the Legislature. Mr. EWING, being now a candidate before the People of this Congressional District, we have thought it but just to give his views to the public, lest be should suffer any injustice from misrepresentation in any quarter, on that score.

The Legislature of Illinois has been some time engaged in trying Judge SMITH, of that State, on several charges of a serious nanature. By the last Vandalia Whig, we learn that he was acquitted on Thursday, the 7th instant.

CONGRESS.

Both Houses are busily engaged—the Senate with a bill to nullify Nullification, the House with the Tariff Bill. Speeches in the House are as thick as blackberries, all filled with tales as old as our own remembrance. The National Intelligencer gives them in detail, and no doubt with that general accuracy which distinguishes that print. When the debate on Nullification shall be entered into in the Senate, by the master minds in that body, we shall probably give a leading speech or two, by the respective champions. Mr. CALHOUN is looked upon, by common consent, as the individual selected to maintain the new doctrines. Mr. WEBSTER will, doubtless, combat them with his usual power and ability.

EXECUTIVE

APPOINTMENT.

JOHN BADOLET to be Register of the Land Office for the district of lands subjected to sale at Vincennes, in the State of Indiana, from the fourth of January, 1833, when his late commission expired.

PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS. To the politeness of a friend, we are indebted for the privilege of publishing the following correspondence. The information contained will doubtless be gratifying to many of our readers.

WASHINGTON, Jan 28, 1833

Sir: By the enclosed letters you will see that the settlers on the Public Lands, in range 10, prior to 29th May, 1830, are entitled to pre-emption. I have reported a bill to the Senate, to grant pre-emption to those who settled on these lands before May, 1832. Its passage is doubtful. The bill for tracing and marking the State line, and closing the surveys of the public lands in that range, passed the Senate some days ago, and will probably pass the House.

Your obedient servant, JOHN TIPTON. Col. Joseph Osborn, Vermillion county.

WASHINGTON, JAN. 24, 1833.

Hon. E. Hayward. Sir: With this I have the honor to transmit for your examination, a petition from citizens of the States of Indiana and Illinois, residing in range 10, west of the 2d meridian, in the State of Indiana, prying Congress to pass a law granting them pre-emptions, to embrace their improvements and I request you to inform me, whether these petitioners, and all others with like claims, are or are not entitled to pre-emptions under the existing laws of Congress approved May 29, 1830, and July 14, 1832 and, also to inform me whether these laws are construed, so as to allow a citizen residing on one quarter section, and having improved on an adjoining quarter, a pre-emption on either quarter at his discretion.

Your obedient servant, JOHN TIPTON.

GENERAL LAND OFFICE, JAN. 25, 1833. SIR: In reply to your letter of the 24th inst., covering the petition of certain persons residing in range 10, west, the surveys of which have not been completed, in consequence of the boundary line of Indiana and Illinois not having been run, and asking whether the law of the 14th July, 1832, supplementary to act 29th May, 1830, will allow such persons the right of pre-emption and whether person residing on one quarter section and owning an improvement on an adjoining quarter section, is not entitled to a pre-emp-tion on either quarter at his discretion I have the honor to state:

That I deem these lands, subject to the act of the 14th July, 1832, whenever the surveys shall have been perfected and returned to the Land Office to which they may respeclively belong. That where a settler has actually occupied two or more tracts on the 29th May, 1830, and cultivated the same in 1829, he may select of the several tracts the one he may prefer, by right of pre-emption

The petition is enclosed. With great respect, your obedient servant ELIJAH HAYWARD Hon. John Tipton, Senate U. S.

FIRST JUDICIAL CIRCUIT. For the information of our patrons in the First Judicial Circuit, we note the following changes made in the law relating thereto: Extract of an Act changing the time for holding the Circuit Courts, in the first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth judicial circuits.

MR. DOWLING: In the last number of your paper you stated that you had heard my name mentioned as a candidate to represent this district in the next Congress. I therefore consider it to be my duty, as well to my fellow citizens, as to myself, to state that I am not a candidate, and that I do not expect to be. Yours, respectfully,

A. KINNEY.

MARRIED,

By C. T. Noble, Esq., on the 7th inst., Mr. JACOB MEDAW, to Miss CATHARINE SAWYER, of Otter Creek township.

By the same, on the 14th inst., Mr. JOHN WALDEN, to Miss ELIZA BROWN, of Honey Creek township.

By the same, on the same day, Mr. JAMES HAYNES, of Terre-Haute, to Miss MARTHA M. BENNETT, of Hooey Creek township. In Clinton, Vermillion county, on the 19th inst., by J. Paine, Esq., Mr. WILLIAM P. DOLE, to Miss SUSANNAH, daughter of PETER RUSH, Esq. [True to an excellent rule, "more honoured in the observance than in the breach," the editor received with the above, a most ample quota of the good things afloat on the occasion. If the supply sent as was intended for our individual self, the happy couple must indeed entertain a very unfavourable opinion of our "temperance in all things." Heaven grant that the new wedded pair, any never have less for their "daily bread." If so, they need not dread a famine!

LATEST FROM HOLLAND The Boston Atlas, of Wednesday, announces the arrival of the brig Alexandria, Capt. Pendleton, from New Dieppe, whence she sailed on the 29th of December—but brought no papers. Capt. I, furnished the first intelligence in Boston of the fall of Antwerp. It will have been observed by the reader of the intelligence received at this port, that little has been said of the loss of life occasioned by the defenders of the citadel, to the assailants. Capt. P. reports that the loss of the French was computed at from 16,000 to 18,000 men.

The citadel was taken possession of on the 25th. The loss of the Dutch was not known. Ten thousand bombs were thrown by the French engineers into the citadel, which destroyed all the provisions and water of the besieged. Gen. Chasse defended the citadel for two days after the destruction of his provisions and water.

Capt. Pendleton further states that the impression prevailed that a general war would be the inevitable consequence. It was supposed that the Dutch Would be assisted by the Russians, Prussians and Austrians. Indeed it was reported that a Russian army of 100,000 men, were on their march for the frontiers of Belgium and Holland.

Selected Scraps.

A thoughtless lad, by the name of Craig, was killed at York, Upper Canada, on the 14th ult. while engaged with others in pulling down signs from shops and stores.

On the 26th ult. near Speedwell, Tennessee, whilst a Mr. Monday and his brother were cutting wood, a tree fell on the latter and killed him instantly.

A government express recently travelled from the city of Washington to Charleston and back——a distance of five hundred and forty-four miles—in FORTY-EIGHT HOURS!

Valentine Moulder, Esq. of Granger county, Tenn., was drowned on the 7th ult, in attempting to cross Clinch river in a canoe.

Mr. William Winder, of Washington Valley, New Jersey, lately fell from the window of his barn, and was instantly killed.

At St. Johnsbusy, Vt. a child between one and two years old, fell into a wash tub of hot water, and was so badly scalded that it died the next day.

Henry Reed, of Montgomery county, Md. was killed on the 3d ult. by the falling of a tree.

John Smith, of Mayfield, New York, on the 4th ult. was killed by the upsetting of a gig and a kick from the horse he was driving.

It is related in the literary circles, that the late Sir W. Scott and Moore were one day conversing on the intellectual progress of the times. "Ah! Tom Moore!" said Sir Walter, "its lucky for us we came so soon!"

TERRE-HAUTE LYCEUM.—A public meeting of this institution will be held at the School House in Terre-Haute, on Thursday, the 21st inst. at 6 o'clock, P. M. The citizens of Terre-Haute and vicinity, are respectfully invited to attend.

To the Public.

A

REPORT has been put in circulation, calculated to wound the feelings of myself and family, by Andrew J. Trullinger. It has been stated by him, that my grandfather on my father's side was a negro. In order to counteract the statement, and in justice to the feelings of my children, I subjoin the following affidavits, from which

I

think it will clearly appear, that Trullinger has wilfully lied. State of Indiana, Fountain County, ss.

Personally appeared before me, James Lewellen, Justice of the Peace for Fountain county, Nancy Vanhook, who being duly sworn, says—that she heard one Obadiah Watson, sworn before Charles Cado, Esq. in Pickaway county, who testified to his acquaintance with the paternal grandfather of Lewis Phebus, from the time of his coming to America, and that no appearance of Negro blood could be discovered in him, and further sayeth not.

Sworn to, and subscribed before me, this first day of February, 1833. SAMUEL LEWELLEN,

State of Indiana, Fountain County, ss. Personally appeared before me, Samuel Lewellen, Bridget Fitzgerald, who being duly sworn, deposeth and sayeth—that she was acquainted with the paternal grand-fa-ther of Lewis Phebus, and that he had no appearance of Negro blood, but was, as she always believed,of French descent, and fur-, ther sayeth not.

Sworn and subscribed to before me, this first day of February, 1833. SAMUEL LEWELLEN, J. P.

From the above, the public can determine what reliance can be placed on the statement of Trullinger. I should not have resorted to this course, had I not been advised that the words spoken by him are not actionable. LEWIS PHEBUS.
