LAWItENCEBURGH, INDIANA. Fit 1 DAY, APRIL 22, 131. We have been requested to announce James T. Pollock as a candidate for State Senate,at the approaching August election. " It is Mr. CitV business 1j fi.it fault with the bnmistrati.m, ami Hi friends il is what he is suppoiud fin ami we ou-ht nut to blame the fellow-

"... i adniini-stration, as claiming our spc rial disapprobation, unless the members! cf that caucus are to be recognized as forming a component part of the administration. Nor did we intend to find fault with any of the proceeding! hadon that occasion, aiming only, to represent some ofthe important fact which Mr.Culley had omitted to notice; among j whit h was the secession of Col. Spenrer. We also noticed, in our remarks, that the sentiments nw arfinncttl by the committer, on the Mibject of internal improvements, were the very antipodes of w hat was once enou eil by many of the i.'ime individuals composing that meeting. Without attempting to controvert or deny this fact, Mr. Culley affects to shift himself out of it.in his own peculiar shlc a style so often practiced upon, that it has become as natural to him. as it is for a certain animal to bray. We refer to hislow and senseless quibbling, in the absence ofcandid argument and fair investigation. In this particular, if in no other, we are willing to award to him the honor of being coasistnt. We are at a los to see how anv criticism of ours upu!i t A uun as Mr. C'uliey and Mr. I .aiir.rnnM heron-trued into opposition lof .Liiiiiiii!rutin : for we were not aware thaWey constituted any poition of it na. not cen an efficient link in the gn at chain of party banded together in its support; and no other than the gentlemen in question, would have detected the relative bearing and identity of feeling and interest, between the present administration and their honorable selves. It is our business, (sa s Mr. Culley,) to find fault w ith the present administration it is hat we are supported lor. Andwcmavadd.it is his business to Mis.tain it. right or trmng it is what he is supported for. lint there is a marked didl-rcncc between us. While nr find fault with somr of the acts of the administration: fir sustains and applaud r;,hile in are tupportcd by the peoi ii i-picACHWwiy-Ar oraws ms .....m... ; tipend from the coffers of the gtne.al j vnvernm. nt-while are the servant ( .the lVo.de; he is the venal latc of. t!ie arch magician, who manages, not only the Department of State, but the Pn-Mdrnt and all hi- subordinates. We oii'iht not to blame the fellow for Irving to art no to his engagements i hii brt od il i nds on it." It i true, a Mr. Culley ays, that our bread depmds exclusively upon the. proceeds of our office; but we are proud to inform him that the liberal patronage we receive from the public, giws ample promise that ours is not a preenrio'is dependence. We ma) not hae the same abundance, whit h our neighbor enjoy, and our table may not be so often isited with the luxuries of life, but we have the satisfaction to know that our frugal repast is the fruit of honest industry. The present is not the only instance in which Mr. Culb-y has made a bx-word of our dependence on public patronage, else tc should have pacd it by in silence. Kome w eeks fiinre, in reference to us, he remarknl. snreringly "Have we not U,;poor alwnys with us?" We admit w-e are poor, but, thank Heaven, poverUisno reproach, unaccompanied by vice and dishonesty. We are poor; but the reflection it not cmbitUicd by our dependence upon (be adventitious aid of others, to relieve our nrn 1 Jet us remain V arr nnflr aC ail'

The Meetino ij Logan. In the last Palladium the proceedings of a j

meeting in Logan township were pub- jtieed in our last,) for the purpose of ble authority for making those declaralished, accompanied by an editorial 'adopting measures more effectually to 1 tions. That Col. Spencer retired with

pufF, in which the meeting is represented as being" very large, nud the pioceedings sanctioned with great'vnanimii;" the citizens of Other townships are. also, warmly exhorted to follow the ' I 1 noble example of their republican friends in a very diirerentlight.

The leniDtation to lay it before the public, is therefore, irresistable; and if, in doingjso, we act contrary to the wishes of the writer, we respectfully ask his pardon: Lot; ax Township, April 1 1th, 1831. Dear .Sir : I take the liberty to inform you of the result of the great party meetinc, which was held at the Cross-roads, in this Township, ion Saturday last, for the purpose ofelectin (lelesatcs to meet at hawrcnccbur"-b. ou the J.'ld inst. to form 44 a Jackson ti cket." The mei tiiig was called to order by Thos. Biackcnridge, Ksij. and a committee of six appointed to draft resolutions, A.c. One of the Committee, although a warm friend of the present administration, declined tsrving, as he stated, because it Mas a party meeting, and that he wan opposed to elevating a party on the ruin of the interest of his fellow-citizens. The committee retired; after some consultation among themselves, throe mora of them withdrew, and refused to hold themselves responsible for the proceedings of the meeting; aligning as their reason, that thej- were 44 opposed to making a party (piestion at the approaching election." The remaining members of the committee drew up some resolution', recommending the appointment of three delegates to meet in convention in I.awrenceburgh, on the fourtli .Sa turday in this month; which resolutions were passed. A lar'e majority of the citizens of this Township are in favor of the present admin istration ; but I do not believe that they will sul' fef themselves to be led by the nose by designing and ambitious men, who huzza 44 for Jackson right or w rong.' 1 am in favor of the present administration, as far as it is calculated to advance the interest and promote the prosperity of the country, and no further. Kvcry tu!) should stand on its own bottom, find our candidates should stand on tlirir own me rits. 1 am in favor of the re-election of (ii ti. Jackson, but that man who has nothing to recommend him, but a blind devotion to party, 41 rii;ht or wrong,"1 shall nerr receive my vote; and I believe these- are the sentiments of the majority of the friends of the present administration in Logan Townhip. 1 have the pleasure of informing you, that there will be un anti-pnrtizan meeting held at William Tucker's, in Kelso Township, ou the first Saturday in May next, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Courty and State officers. You will do a favor to the liberal minded Jackson and Clay men, bv civinu notice of said meeting. Yours, with esteem. We have thus given the letter entire, without omission or variation; except that the name of the writer is withheld. And we shall not besurprised tohearhim denounced as a 4i wolf in sheep's clothing,"as an enemy to the present administrationard its friends.

We arc aware that the. sentimt nts of our correspondent but illy accord with the ambitious views of a few caucus-mongers, who would fain take the affairs of our 'county into their especial keeping; but we are also aware that they are the honest sentiments of hundreds, in Dearborn county, w ho profess fo be and arc the real friends of the administration. The People, the honest yeomanry of the country, are not, as yet, so far degraded in the scale of political serveillance, as to yield a passive obedience to caucus dictal.m,and tamely surrender theirrights and liberties into the hands of political desperadoes, who, having no merit of their own, are aiming to ride into office on the merits of others. 'The resolutions adopted here, (says the last Palladium) met general approbation and applause." This is a good one. Now the truth is, as Mr. Culley well know s, if he knows any thing, that they were received with perfect indifference. As evidence of (his, we cite the fact, that, notw ithstanding notice of the met ting w as published near two weeks in advance, and every effort made to procure a full house, not one-fourth of the j Jackson men in town attended, and

We do constitute ourselves a Temperance Society: and we pledge ourselves to abstain entirely from the use of ardent spirits, except as a medicine. We w ill exert all our i inrt,lenc to prevent their use by others; and I Wl" unite with other Societies in anv measure ! j ilk,ly to accomplish the great purpose of the j Nr..' .

A new paper, bearing this title, has recently been commenced in Nashville, Tenn. by Wilkins T.winkiiii.l. It is neatly printed, on an imperial sheet, and is published weeklr, at S'3. per annum, in ad vance. It supports the pretentions of ii f. -.I . i , , m Ki cla wun laiem ana energy; and from its location, it may be regard-j ed as an able and efficient labourer in the cause of the People. A few subscribers to the paper would be thankfully received at this olhce, and promptly attended to. Movements in Pennsylvania. A great meeting was held in the City of Philadelphia on the 1th inst. to further the great objects of the National Republican party, and, particularly, to promote the election of Henry Clay to the Chief Magistracy of the United States. The meeting is represented as being very large, being estimated at five thousand persons, and characterized by the most perfect good order. The addresses delivered, and the resolutions which were adopted on this occasion, give strong evidence that Pennsylvania will soon be. if she is not already, eract in the support of t lie American System and its illustrious champion, Henry Clay. A public meeting has also been held in PottsilIe, Pa. at which Mr. Clay was nominated for the Presidency, ami ; a number of spirited resolutions adopted ia his favour. vv:;tion of White Kiver. We t ie of a Steam-boat floating upon the waters of White River and stemming the current like a thing of life.' The Journal represents thiseventas producing a greater degree of pleasurable excitement, than any circumstance which has transpired since the first settlement of their town. The banks of the river were literally crowded with men, women, and children, and military compa nies, all anxious to behold the pioneer of steam navigation to the capital of our Stale. Many of the citizens availed themselves of this opportunity to take a short excursion of pleasure, and were no doubt highly delighted. A public dinner was offered to the enterprising proprietors and officers of the boat; but they respectfully declined the honor. The following communication was handed to us, yesterday evening, after our paper w as made up; and, that justice may be done to the Col. in the premises, without delay, we have crowded out enough matter to make room for it. If the Col. means to say, that an idea has gone abroad to his injury, that he had left the Jackson ranks and joined the friends of Henry Clay, wr do not feel responsible for that impression; for no such assertion was ever made, through the medium of our paper. Hut if he intends to intimate that tre misrepresented lum, in saying that the proceedings of that meeting did not meet with

his approbation, he must excuse us when wc repeat, that we had the highest possi-

the committee; that he was absent near half an hour: that he only returned about 3 or 4 minutes before the rest of the committee; and that he then, and erased his name from the list of committee-men. are facts which no man who was present, will dare to controvert. And that he afterwards remarked that he could not go the resolutions is another fact which he will not denv.

Gregg: Believing that my course ia the meeting held here on the 30th ult. is misrepresented by some, I deem it a duty I owe to myself and the public, to give my reason for not wishing to act on the committee appointed at that meeting, to draft resolutions. At the last election, it will be recollected that I was a candidate, and was elected by a vote that forbids me to think I was opposed because of my political opinions. This being the case, and no question raised as respects myself, I thought it improper to assume a position now that would look like using the official influence thus couferred upon mc, to advance a party question which could not affect myself. This was my reason for declining the appointment ; thereby letting the committee hare full power to act as it pleased, as to the propriety of the nomination system. My political opinions have never been disguised. I supported the present worthy Chief Magistrate in two elections, and if Heaven spares my health, I intend lending my feeble aid to his re-election; believing the course of his administration to be well calculated to forward the prosperity of rc happy Governme our, i c. nt.
