Mr. Clarke Urd":r certain circum stances it mav become necessarv for the people to instruct their represent atives; ard when necessary, it ough not to be neglected. It frequently happenfha rew-rjues tions arise among the people after they l.ave elected their representatives, and in such cases, it may net he in the pow ercfthe representatives to know the real wish of their constituents; then the people ought, if they have any fear of their representatives, not acting in accordance with their .iews. to give them instructior-;, but w hen a question Is agitated before the e-lcctior, and the candidates take sides, the people then knowing what the liows of the candidates are, the presumption is, that the views entertained and expressed by the successful candidates, meet the approbation of a major tty of the people: in such cases 1 consider it entirely unnc. ccsary to get up any instructions in forming the representatives that it will be their DUTY to do as they said they would when thev were candid ates. They are hound in honor and aoa'uliful representatives, to pursue

the course they said they would, un-

ess instructed to the contrary by a de cided majority of their constituents. I have been prompted to make the foregeing remarks from a communication in the last Herald, ovpr the signature of Joseph M. Hayes. From the tenor ot the Col's, commu nication a stranger would be led to conclude that the formation of a new County as described in his letter, had not been spoken of, or agitated among the. people previous to the election. The Cel. $ays, ufeeling no individual irtercst in the result, divested of nil h eal prejudice, and unpledged to any person, or either party," Sce. now 1 think if the Cel. will put on his stud dying cap, he may very easily reeolb ct, that he, with all the rest of the can didates was decidedly opposed to th I rmr.t'on of a rcw count) but note he ing elected, he is "unpledged"' to eith ther party. During the electiox.oerir.g campaign reports were frequent Iv in circulation. that the candidates were fiicr.dly to the formation of a new county, mui it w as not a little amusieg, to see with what toidustrv and ikill they would endeav or to put a stop to such reports, and contended that they w ere only started for the purpose of defeating their elec tion, but row, forsooth, our senator stands 'unpledged.' I frequently saw and conversed with 'he candidates previous to the election tnd feel confident that all were then opposed to the forma ion of a new county ; and I have frequently converscd with Mr. Rrvanl since the election. rind learn from him that HE ha nobecome "unpledged"'1 since elected The ci'lz-ns i f Parke have already riven hini sufficient evidence of their nprosifton to the formation of a new com,tt , without putting themselves to i he trouble, at this stage, of the game, f riJivgail over the county, getting a long list of names, telling him what he already knows. I recollect that our two members elecf, while electioneering, thought it would be necessary for the legislature .) request our Representatives in Con gress to try and obtain a donation from he.. General Government, sufficient to :learont the obstructions to navigation in the Wabash River. 1 rcmiul them of this, seeing that it is not un common f. r men to forget former pledg es after being elected, If think it necessary, I may say something more in a future number. A. CONSTITUENT. TOR TOE tlRM.1 What an interesting era is this! How fraught with incident'. With what anxiety do we look forward to the events, w hich a few short years will have redeemed from the dark im penetrable mists of futurity! Witl what excessive emotion is the patriots hoom tilled, when he rejects on tV present situation of his beloved country and anticipates its future destiny. Tht ardent hope that it may continue to the world, the light to guide them to liber-tv-to independence-the solar tar to di rect their course to conduct them iti security through the dnrk and stormy ocean of superstition, of b'gotry, and ol prejudice, tow ards the goal of acknowl edged independence', and the doubt the fear, that the spirit of discord, o animosity, and of jealousy, which is dailv becoming more and more evi dent, in every quarter of our country which has crept with a slow, yet pure p cc into our national councils, and which is every moment widening an extending the branch which has beet for years forming may eventually dis solve this glorious Union. 4 Those pleasing, those soul inspiring hopes, and these dark and gloomy ap prehensions, alternately holds the as mr.iler.rv in his bosom. He now sec the country in the meridian of its glory of its prosperity, and of its renown, He sees its republican institutions flour ishing, its national wealth and import ance increasing, until his imagination can scarcely keep pace with its gigan t - t, iV tic strides: ami again, ne arrw ofnnrtr sDirit, and disunion lieged together for its downfall. Sha this unholy liegue prevail! Shall we

continue to. nourish in oar bosom a vi

per Shall we cherish tnd protect an cTiljwhich is continually knawing at our very vitals 1 And which w ill, ere long;, if we continue to respire the same atmosphere which it breathes, incorporate itself with our system, our national fabric, and our political union check the wheels of government, em barrass the functions of our rulers, and finally sever the bonds of union, and destroy that glorious system of government so long the praise, the pride a:d admiration of the world. Will my countrymen permit this s'a'e of things 1 Will they set tamely by and see this "root of Upas'' nourish, and spread its branches w idely over our land, overshadowing our glory, and blasfrg with its poisonous breath, the fair tree of Liberty planted by ou' ancestors, and nurtured by their deccndanlst if they will not, let them lay tL.e ax to the root of the tree of evil, and exterminate it root and branch, (hen this Imse jxot ic, this bane of republics will no longer encumber our soil: and then, ad no 'ill then, will the tree of I'Vrty uourish in all its former glorv. Wt.'Al ( GckI its branches might extend over tlu wide Atlantic, and encircle in its protecting arms, all the rations of the "ar'h! What is done must be done quickly, not a moment should be lost! it may now bo too late! The time ol redemption may be past! If it is not. let the friends of their country, liberty andunion, form a rallying point. Le them swear to support and preserve our constitutional rights, and with re newed z-al and determination bear hark the waves of bigotry, of prejudice and faction, whose offspring is disunion, 'i! id whose ed is civil wu; then wi' the world know their vh vs to be di interested, their motives sacred, and that ,l i'he patriot 'a glory i his country's good." With what feeling of regret and commiseration have .re viewed the i-4 Vstiuc com notions that have, for years embroiled the southern extremity of this. continent in civil war, to support tho pretentions of ambitious dema gogues, aiming at their own personal aggrandizement, without consulting the interests or prosperity of the comnaniiy at large; never considering for moment, that their elevation is at the expense of the peace and happi ness of thousands; that their path to the throne is oer the slaughtered bodies jC their own countrymen, and that hey triumph in the lamentations of the widow and the orphan. Will these eelings have to be called into birth or lie. amngst our southern neigh ... .7 - ors! Will these remarks ever bo applied tons by tUe inhabitants of Europe from le calculating Englishman, he treacherous Spaniard, the versa tile. Frenchman in the west; to the lux urious Italian, the voluptuous (J reek, or the followers of t'-e Aristocrat and he Crescent inthe north, aad south by taose wno nooly arew ineir swords m our struggle f r independence, who were depressed by our misfortunes, cl evated by bur triumphs; in a word, w ho participated in our every feeling? Heaven send they may not, though it lays with my couitrymen to decide. nd let their decision be guided by the cool dictates of reason, nor by the im pulse of passion. Greece too, that land of classick memory, the fame o vhosc heroes, philosophers and statesmen are the lasting memorials of its former greatness r-the inestimable treasure of their decendants. Greece nas been profaned by the same spirit, In the hour when ur.animity would have ensured its independence, it was rent by civil feuds, and agitated byfactions. Even the spirit of opposi tion to the barbarious and tyranica government that oppressed them, was insufficicnf to conciliate parties, and concentrate all their efforts to the one object of achieving their independence They did not rccolloct in their event ful revolution, that it was the unanim ity of the oppressed that should make the tyrant tremble. Does not present appearances indicate the same state o things amongst us! Is not the cry, am an American, drowned in that of the partisans of a Jackson, a Clay, Calhoun, or a Wirt, shouting the

name of their leader? Are there oof

some amongst us cooly calculating the probability of a disunion of the union, aye, wishing it too, that they may build their own thrown on the fallen great ness of their country's glory. It is those who have too little talents to become first among the numerous competitors striving to gain the airy ummitof the mount of fame, and universal popularity; and too great ambi tion to content with a secondary place intacirown, and their couutry's estimation; who arc the principle movers in this scheme, of personal aggrandize ment. Like tiie Generals ef Alexander, and like the triumvirate of Rome, rhey would divide our tcrrjfory and array one part ofits citizens against the other, to -dispute the universal empire, or content with etToe'itig their grand purpose, "disunion," they would become arbitrary tyrants, not unlike the trans-Atlantic Don Miguel, and drive their subjects to madness by their acts of oppression. They would hear a just resemblance to the petty princes of Germany impotent as they are aspiring, divided they arc as powerless as they are vain, until they would be formidable. This conclusion would lead us, ti.e people, to remain as we now are, united in one political existence. ou will probably say, if you give vour opinion without re-lection, that the state of things adverted to is but the "baseless fabric of a vision," that it is impossible for the enlightened citizens o this republic to be led thus Mindfohled into error. S once tho't ancient Greece and Rome, but where arc they now? the winds of century? have mourned over the desolatioa" created by this siie spirit. Had they cen united, in vain would the Tartar horde have menaced the liberty of the one, or the Goth and the Vandal have arrayed their armies avuinst the other. So it is with Ireland "the gem of the Ocean,'' the bigotry and jealousy ofits riMzens have rcvitcd the chains, that have forages bound them in servitude io the mistress of the ocean. Our real si fiat ion mnst not longer be cone aled. h it not evident that the mr as ires now pursued by our sistes States, Georgia and South Carolina, m ist inevitably result in calamitous consequeices. The east and the w est will not look tamely- on, and see the most sacred obligations of the general govern ment violatcd. Neitherisour Constitution that palladium of our conntry's glory to be basely trampled underfoot. We ire sworn to preserve it inviolate. fhe pledge mubt be redeemed. EOLIUS. l oa the Wabash Hkh vlu.
