OirWe find the annexed flattering notice of GEORGE BRKVARD WAY, a yonn? member of the Ohio LEGISLAture, in the Cincinnati RepuMcnn. Mr. Way is the son of the late AJTBBEW WAY, of Washington city, who was formerly printer to Congress: "This is the first time Mr. WAY has been drawn out into anv thing like an elaborate discussion n»d 1 can assure his friends at a disinnre, tli3 reputation which preceded him to this city suffered nothing by the onset. Although known to possess as much talent tit nnv member on the fhwr, that modesty which should always characterize voting member, hut which too of'en is not tbeeniie. precluded him from thrusting himself forward until the proper time, Now that he has broken ground, it is to be hoped be will speak more frequent. The State stands in need of »H ins talents at this lime."

ii)SS-CIIT CAWAI. BILL.

The Cross-Cut canal bill, (in an adjoining coiumn,/ Is a measure of vast importance, not only loTerreHaute and Vigo county, but to the people of many of the Adjoining couhtictof lodtnnB onn Illinois. It ts well known that flour is now frequently wagoned from this place to Greenup and even Vandalia, Illinois^ and that flonr and meal command a hieher price in TerreHaote than tlinv con bcpurchnsed lor in Boston, New York or New Orleans! To what id this attributable, if not to ihe scarcity of mill sent«, and the consequent monopoly ol the article in the hands of a few millers and their agents This evil,also, operates injuriously, by limiting the production of that great sfnple. because, *o long as farmers aTe aware of the scarcity of mills, just so long will ibey be cautious not to nise more vlt#at ihwn litey can get ground, or is necessary to fheir own limited consumption. Owing to the I Jfl| of litst vcar's crop, wheat brings a pretty fatr pwIrTtn this market, at present but. wen it not for this circumstance, could not the few millers in our county have commanded the article nt their own prices? The fine water power which will exist at this prtint, after the Canal is finished, will undoubtedly cause the »rection of many flouring mills and the conpeqnence will be, that competition will enhance the nrice of wheat and Innvr that of flour, until these articles bear proportionate ratio to their relative priees in the Eastern markets. The creation of water power must also cause numerous manufacturing establishments to centre here, which will afford steady employment for laborers and mechanics, and create va'unblc market for the surplus products of the snrrroundiiig country. Hi rangers visiting TcTre-Hauto are generally in raptures nt the fertility, beauty, and great natural and artificial advantages of the surrounding ewumrv: but still, such perwma n*»ver f«ii to win up their PHlrtjn^s* by saying that all Terre-Haute wants to, make it a place of grent importance iswiter power. Our ciiiwwis, then, have onlv to lake advantage of the art for the prosecution of the Cross-Cut Canal .and tliisdetmlemtnm will be supplied, end a new impulse trivon to business and enterprise, which will soon make our town tin honor to the State and a paradise to its inhabitants. The importance of ihe completion of this work to the future growth of Terre-Haute, mny be inferred from the fact, that several enterprising capitalists have Already determined to srttle here a# soon as the unfinished portions of the Canal arc put under contract, and. among them, are two jr^ntlomen, one of whom propos** building a rolling mill and "the other a paper mill.

These facts should stimulate everv citizen, and particular^ every property holder, to takenctivoand energetic tnensur?s to complete the Canal nt the earliest possible period.

a friend in Terre-Haute, I could not have imagined thai certain editorial remargin the "Courier"'of last week, in relation to the author of Vox J*opuli of the "W. Sun" were intended to apply to rife. li the surmises were correctly understood, I owe it to myself thus to declare through the same channel, that the charge aimed at me, and the flagrant abuse attached to st, Cno daubi foreteciic unmerited and ground less. writer ^f the "Vtncennes Snn'1 article alluded o, nor dtd 1 ever rewi or hear.ul Mr- "Vox Populi" until my nt tentton »vns directed to the paper containing liife contribution in print. If the circumstance of such a|ublication in the **W. SUD" or any contrivance to advance individual enmity or ambition, cat) justify the clandestine venom attempted to be cast at me in the editorial remarks, I leave to the judgment of every upright citizen. I have been too often assailed, and basely stigmatized on the approach of an election, with false charges and rile epithets, (and the people know it,) to argue agntnst such wanton assaalrs. When they have been evidently unjust, I have contented myself by Sending :he antidote to prevent repetition and they never can change my principles of action or alienate from me a worthy friend. I certainly do not pretend to be exempt from all the frailties of humanity—and whatever my faults, the ingratitude and dissimulation practised towards me by some men I hare served and confided in, shall never, by any artifice, be attached to iny character.

I am not iheauthufer

I feel myself here bound to express my well known disapproval »f all Logiilaiive interference with the primary assemblages of the people. I have long since avowed with my pen and tongue, that the dictation of Legislators is even more dangerous than the dictation ot Ex*:«utive office-holders, and that either would soon render every appeal to tiie ballot-box a solemn mockery. I now apprehend, the progress of any such interference will be found to distract no' to unite the opinions of many true Whigs. The late contest (commenced before the "Courier" newspaper was in being.) in which I was not nil idle spectator on behalf of the people to secure a reform of abuses—the interference of the General Government with our State Legislators, and of our State legislators with the freedom of the people, were embraced. Now every surrounding circumstance is promising to that happy change in the national policy, and in pnrty movements, by which the blessings of our free institutions shall b« brought home without alloy, to all. The enlightened patriot Harrison, our President on the 4th March next, will, 1 feel satisfied, as far us may be within his power, correct abuses restrain the action of all in authority under him, within the pale of the con-

not known to lie devoted to correct principl 1 remain, &c. JNO. EWING. Vincennes, Jan. 17,1811.

pri

specious idea of independence of dictation, to resist eveiy preliminary consultation necessary to success—as if it were an invasion of the rights ol private judgment and derogatory to personal independence, for political friends and neighbors to meet and consult together!

Having been induced, from "audible surmises," to bcliuve that Mr.~Ewi.Nu was tho author of Vox Populi, wo had no hesitation in noticing it iii the manner we did. ^Although it stems wa were mistaken in this, no one Can di ny that tho writer delayed,considerable tact in imitating tho peculiar style, and in recapitulating somo of the well-known notions, of Mr- JS. That the writer look particular pains to impress this idea on the public mind, (or, at least, that Mr. Ewing approved of his speculations,) is evident from a circumstance that bos lately comc under our own observation. It is this: A distinguished citizen, high in the confidence of a portion of the people of this District, and well acquainted with Mr. E.'s cJiirographv, received, by mail, an early copy of the "Western Sun" containing Vox t'opuli's communication, on the margin of which was endorsed, in perfect imitation of thut gentleman^ hand writing, an unqualified approval and endorsement qf the whole article! So well convinced was this gentleman of the genuineness of the endorsement, tlmt tve presume the first intimation he will receive of his mis' take, will be in the above disclaimer under Mr. Swing's own signature! This, therefore, is a rare instance ot unintentional injustice doing its victim a benefit, by furnishing an opportunity of vindication against a common, though unjust, impression

Mr. Ewing is very much mistaken in supposing that our brief comments on Vox Populi's articlc, were "intended for electioneering effect," or for the purpose of depressing or exalting particular candidates for Congress. No such purpose ever entered our mind. So far from being the partisans of any candidate now before the People, we are determined, regardless of personal preferences, to go for whoever may be this nominee ol a convention. Upon this point wo have always been explicit. If, therefore, we have been severe or caustic on the supposed author of Vox Populi, it was not with the view of prejudicing his claims to a seat in Congress, but because the principles advanced over that signature were calculated to render odious, in the eyes of the People, the only practical plan deciding between the conflicting claims of rival candidates, and because its direct tendency was to stimulate individual ambition to seek it* own aggrandizement, regardless of the success of great principles. Whilst we have no deeirc to prtyudice any candidate's claims to the nomination, we are free to confess we cannot find language to express our detestation of the man who, presuming on the superior patriotism and forbearance ol others, would undertake either to "ruin or rule" the cause ol which he affected to be the disinterested champion, by refusing to submit hia claims to any umpire but his own caprice, *nd '.hereby forcing himself upon the unwillingsupfK rt of hto political friends. We hope no such politician will thrust himself between the Whigs of this District and success and yet this is the only Congressional District in Indiana, where the views of the probable candidates, xs to the umpirage of a regular nomination, are not dearly and distinctly defined.

We wish that Mr. whilst deprecating the wellintentioned efloria ol ihe members of the Legislature to procure concert of action among the Whigs in the

stitution, and shed abroad the blessingsof equal rights, candidate at the last election And what was with the harmony and confidence of an enlarged pros- I the'result Their nominate beat our worthy fellow perity. If I Should ever again present myself for the citizen, John Ewing, over 1200 votes. Now this Van suffrages of my fellow citizens, to aid in promoting such Buren writer, knowins that Jonn W.

The clos: ng sentence of Mr. Swing's publication admits of so many Construcit&Nfw. tlaft «e *iiall refrain from comment, lest, in doing so, we might do injustice to the writer. This we will say, however, that the politician who expects a political milienium next August, and imagines he can then run as the candidate of any considerable portion of the tee great contending parties of this District, and not as "party candidate," expects a state of affairs that is very foreign from "the signs of the times"' here and elsewhere, as we understand them-- The fierce warfare now making on the new Administration, in advance, in the U. S. Senate, and by the Globe and Richmond Enquirer, indicates any thing but a cessation of party strife and party hostility, and we think events wili prove it.

FROM THE VlXCEHrrtTS GAZETTE

MR. CAODIXGTOS:—I see in the Vincennts Suiffnn article signed "Vox Popoli," in which HONORABLE MENTION is made of our Senator and Representative. It charges them with the itosr Hr.t.vous OFFESCE of suggesting to the Whigs the importance of acting in the coming Congressional election, with union and concert. This article was evidently written by a loco toco. It is a Van Biiren trick to produce a division in the Whie RANY- Say to the writer that "HE CANY COME IT." The Whigs are not so soh us to be gulled by the shallow artifices of so puny a trickster. Were we threatened with a foreign invasion, this writer vvould4iave every man shoulder his musket, march out singlv. and fight the enemy on his own hook. It would be very wrong for the people to meet together, choose a captain,and act in concert against the foe. I believe th.it our apponents advocate principles dangerous to our liberties. and to defeat them, we must harmonize. Did not the Van Buren party nominate

their votes upon one candidate. But he _is_ cun-

fc?*The old lady wlto edits, (or rather who infLots her earrulity and twaddle, QS a substitute for editorial,) in the columns of the Indiana Democrat, ought not. after all that has been heretofore said in refutation of the charge, reassert that J. D. came to Indiana in 1835, and turned Whig to suit the taste of the pairor.e of the Courier- This charge appears to be one of the main stand-bys of all the Edi'Ors of the Democrat and we now call upon Mr. or Mrs. Bolton (as we have in vain upon all his predecessors,\„!o prove that we ever favored Van Buifnfa election to the Presidency, or actively supported Jackson's administration after the blow up in the Cul inOt—or h«renft,er hold his peace. This ascription of base and sordid motives of action is one of the meanest practiceiof tho meanest portion of the political prtse and, if reputed by him. Mr. Bolton may soon find that those wh®live inglass Housesslioutd never throw stones.

H.7".We once heard of a cierk in a counting Room who had occupied his situation so long, that, during his occasional absence at meal times, his well-known shadow could be still seen goirig through its monotonous motions against the wall opposite his seat. This we thought a singular phenomenon but we have a still more angular one now before us. It is the Indiana Eagle, edited by JAMTS WHITE, Esq.-whose predecessor's style was so completely peculiar and sui-gener'uu that, we imagined "none but himselfcould haveoeen his par-* a'lel." The new editor^ style is however,so perfect a fac-simile of Dr. Jackson's, that he cannot fail to sustain the credit of the Eagle in the estimation of every admirer of a refined vocabulary of words and ideas.— For instance, he calls Terre-Haute the "sink-hole of Federalism Ch&s. B. Penrose, of Pa., he colls, "a Bank-bought abolition, British Whig the State Bank of Indiana, he calls "a den of corporate swiudlers and licensed robbers," &c. &c.

Each thought was visible that rolled within, As through a chrystal dial the figured hours are seen And Heaven did this transparent veil provide, Because she had no guilty thought to hide.

Now make your beM^ow, here'sjy^knee at, thie widow, and^t is with jome Reluctance that wet are compelled

tt»

bring from the ariel regions

of,our acquafntaiiceithip With her,and to m#oluce her to ttie dwellers upon earth. But upon this point we are pledgee, ar)d vre wish it wall no nwe pot^cian'aipJtMljye^for tb^tt "%hh a crear conscience we cotild violate it. F.very one will recognise the identical widow, and henceforth not a forlorn Colebs amon^ you, but will be-harassing her to make him the happiest man on earth, until she will be compelled to marry one of you to get rid of the rest of her persecutors. But we must slick to the tru of our promise, despising consequences.

Lucy—now I.ucy Ellmore, we look hack upon the sunny days of your youth, long before the widow's weeds, saddened, without diouniahing your charms, fit emblems of the changed your heartT-lessbright, but more rich. We recollect' you as a school girl, not beautiful to the critic's eye, which measures beauty by lines, ltn£'.hs and proportions, but beautiful and fascinating to the soul which could read and -understand the varied expression of- mind and heart which played feelingly over every feature. At sweet fifteen, we have seen your light and graefful figure moving toward the school house, with an air of carelessness which mide it difficult for you-to be sufficiently precise, swinging your sun-bonnet in your hand, regardless of the exposure of a complexion, which, though not fair, with tell tale transparency exposed every change in the warm current beneath your dark and curling hair, thrown back, loosely upon your shoulders, left -bare a brow, a little too capacious and well marked for feminine beauty, but had it heen more regular it would have been less intellectual. Your quick perception, both of the beautiful and of the ridiculous, while it prevented you from doing foofish things yourself, extracted joy from every body and every thing, save the wounded feelings of another, and kept your black eyes sparkling with intelligent pleasure and smiles playing around yolur lips» like gleams of sunshine upon rcscs. But Lucy, Sometimes your laugh was rsiher more loud and joyolii' than accorded with strict propriety, and we have seen those eyes fired with indignation, those pretty' dark eyebrows drawn a little closer together, aod a curl of scot on those lips at ihe sight ofa m£an or contemptible action. With the delicate line of your nose and chin, or the Whiteness of your teeth which made your lips more red, we can find no fault. Your step was light as a heart free from ill feeling or malice, and bright as dimmer morning, could make it. Each motion disclosed that the consciousness of existence was a joy to you. But while observing and drawing pleasure from every object?,.from the clear sky over-head or the flowers at ydurfeet you did not pick your »ay with sufficient care, and too often received censure for a mud bespattered dress. Such was I.ucy as she grew into womanhood, in person, hut mure particularly, in tieart and mind a treasure to him -who should call* her—wife. But the idea of ffifch a relationship .hever entered her mind save as the result of engaged affection^ Constioij^ of faculties and resources, the proper employment of which afforded her abundant. Irappincgs, alie was nev.ef reduced to the single, naked, and despicable uccupation— the miserable Atudyr tricks and finesse husband hunting. Her mind found far more dignified pursuits than angling with varied bait, for some man botfby, to whom she Could point ns a trophy of success, and call him husband- She was however wooed aiul wed, by one worthy of her, and now, in her twen'y.fourth year, had been three years a widow. Her manners had assumed a higher degree of th« dignity suited to the change in her years and situation, a placid cheerfulness had taken the place of the bouyant merriment of girlhood, and her features had acquired more durabl the impress of sou! and intelligence.

Conscious of no designs upon her single male acquaintance, she received their visits and atteAtions without Construing them into a matrimonial attack, and never soliciting such attentions, she had too much good sense to construe every Rpecch of courtthy into a proposal, or to purse herself up a9 much as to say, "I'm not to be emitted, sir." Bob Rcuridy's amiable character, and agreeable conversation, made him a pleasant visiter, and he was always* received with politeness. We have already spoken of Bob's taMe for female society.

Mrs. Ellmore had, for some days past, been visiting a sick and destitute family, and carrying them such little comforts as they required. It is upon her return from one of these chaiitable errands, that Mr. lioundsides discovered her neat figure in the distance, and, hurrying his walk until he puffed a little, he soon overtook her, and w'ping the perspiration from his brow with his white handkerchief, he courteously offered the widow his arm. This is just the position ill which we left them at the close of the last chapter, and now, at

every hs/ard, they must pass Mrs. Chitterling's window. Mrs Ellmore carried loose in her hand a small boquet, which one of the children of the sick family had given her, just opposite the watching window, she dropped one of the flowers. Bob, immediately picked it up, and, with a bow of request, which was replied to by a nod and smile of assent from the lady, gallantly placed it in the button-hole of his coat.

Mrs. Chitterling had seen this ctiuple, once at' church together this, excited her attention. She had heard of Bob's accompanying her on a ride thi? was suspicious and now she saw them walk, ing arm in arm, and then the flower was "confir. mation strong as proof from holy writ." Who could doubt, hut the widow wsscourting the man'

I'd give something to know what flower that is," said Mrs- Chitterling. "Chaney—Chsney"—•• she called to her little son, "just run down this side the street and up the other, and see what flower Mr. Roundsides has in his button hole. Quick, Chanev, never mind your cap." Chsney did his mother's bidding, snd soon returned with the intelligence, "Why, ma, its just like them ere white opes in the tumbler on the mantel." These were white roses now, Mrs. Chitterling knew full well as every body does, thst white roses sigi tfy— RRSAOtMRflT- But Flora's Dictionary Iny on the tabic with the Bible it had served Mrs. C. through all her courtships, and was now thumbed for the benefit of her friends. Consulting it, she fonoW the following lines affixed to the white rose. .«Take then ibis flower— ,' The perfume of its faded leaves, triumphant o'er decay* May whisper of my chapgelest love, when I have, passed a Way."

Mrs. Chitterling put this and that together^ and suddenly recollected that she ought to mske some morning calls. Preparing herself for the purpose, she wss just going out the street door, when Mr. Roundsides* boy, Toby Fink, came by, carrying a small bundle. Toby was a green sapling from tbe timber, and when he first came among us seeking (or work,with a stick across his shoulders and a bundle at the end of it, he was clad in linsey-woolsey trowsers, red with the dye of madder, a vest blue with indigo, and an ample frock coat, golden with the hue of tumeric, and Toby's lace shone, honest, round and ruddy, beneath a shock of flaxen hair, surmounted by a coon skin cap. Mr. Roundsides employed him to look after his bachelor's room, and being entirely ignorant of the dutie* of his new employ, he made many ludicrous mistakes, which Rob's good nsture laughed at and excused. But, Toby wss gifted with natural shrewdness, and a quick perception of what any one would be at, a degree of mental laxiness induced him rather to encourage, than to contradict any idea suggested to him. Mr*. C. stopped him. ••Good morning, Tobias. How is Mr- Roundsides'*' ••He's knocking about pretty sharp. How's ail srithyou?" ••Very well, Tobias. Mr. Roundsides out with the ladies, as usual, I suppose." "No mistake about that.** J. A.

Housekeeping, would be pleasanter for him than living at a tavern though be has his own room." *•1 should'nt wonder and we've got tight cute fixings, we got achist-o-drawersbome yesterday "Well, next he'll get a wife, Tobias •'There is some small chance of the old man's taking a woman. I soe'd him keen on a trail as I come down street this morning." 'Indeed.*' Mrs. Chitterling did not waste word# by asking who the trail wss, she knew this already,

iii

MM) DURING the &*regcung conversation, she TOD been trying to peep into Toby's bundle. "Tobias, that corner of your bundle, wants pinning, hand it here," and she took it in her h«nd. "Psha! it's done up so clumsily, TITToM-lf over for you Mr. Roundsides is a veiy particular roan, you know," and she opened it for the JHrpote. It contained a^ new white Valencia rest, tnd on the top of the vest lay one of those deceitful arrangements of human hair, called a scratch, precisely the color of Bob Uoundy's. ,* "Why, what on earfti Kfve you liere, Tobias!'' "It's a new jacket. Mr. Roundsides says he wants for a particular occasion, and that thing I took to the barber^ the other day to be hxed. 1 guess it's a kinder onnat'ral fckulp." Mrs. Chitterling was now afraid tltft Bob Koundy and Me* Ellmore would be married before she could promulgate it. She let Toby go hia Wfty i»*tt tripped off muttering—"a scratch—a white vest and a particular occasion, eh I've not lived this long for nothing.

per ot tb« 9tn instant, I qeo -another communication from the Rev. Dr. of Divinity and Physic, J.J. BURTON, the distinguished Representative of Clay. I am disposed to award more justice to my ambidexterous friend than he is to me. for I do not, for a moment, dispute the legitimacy of that production. The article exhibits the true character of its author. Its numerous falsehoods, and its base and fiendish style, could only have emanated from the most foul Sind polluted source. But why, gentlemen, should I trespass upon your useful columns to reply tOsuch an olio ofcontradictions? I must, since he commenced it, state a few facts to vindi* cate myself from the foul aspersioiujof that prevaricating and inlamous production. lie says "but now he comes out directly and acknowledges that he did use that Bank letter for the purpose of making political capital out of it." This is a base misrepresentation. He can show no such admission in my letter. 'This dignified Priest denies thfe stntement made in my letter to you of the 2d of December, that "J. J. Burton has stated, both publicly and privately, that rtje Democrats (alias Van Buren men) could not get any accommodation from the Terre-HtUie Bank." He furthcr'shys: "Now this libeller never thought of thot falsehood being believed at homt. H? knew when that lie was penned, that I had often bcetaf accommodated in that Bank, and. up to that time, he never heard me utter a word against it." Now tliete is an issue upon a matter ol fact between us, and let the certificates of neighbors, who know us both, show who has told tho truth or the lie. This graal apostle of humbug democracy 6avs "the reasons ne not go i_o Esq. Harveyand tell him he could not stand hissecurity. was. because he (Harvey) was not at home, and retained a copy of tho letter written'to Bank and showed it to him the first opportunity I had." Now has this reverend sinner forgotten that liis cel«v bratetl Bank letter was dated the 2tt!i of June, 1840," and that Thomas Harvey washirHeputy Post-master, and k'^pf daily records of the mail? IXvs not this record prove that Mr. Horvev wn«-nt home Irom the23d of June until the first of July, ashHi cert ifi-'n'R annexed will sliowf Why dont he give h$ reasons for mailing this letter ten mile* fiixn Bowlnrgrei n? The rrnson is obvious: the day after this letter was written the learned writer left the post-office in this town logo to Christy's Post-Office io define ihe etymology of the won! "Whig/'with the Bank letter in his Pocket, being award tbtit, as Harvey made tip the mail that morning, he might have seen the directions on tho letter, and, ns the saying goes, "smelt mice." His object was to keep from him a knowledge of his duplicity, and. If the Bank officers had not divulged the secret, Mr. Htrrvey would still have heen in the dark tis to the part token by Burton!*" Assoon as the matter was publicly knbwn, he mailed virtue ofa necessity, nhd took a cony of the letter to Hiirvev who,fee!ingin«fignantat his duplicity, enrsed him and the letter too and although he mpy since have voted forliim.it was from political considerations, and not out of respect for his honesty or hbnor.
