BATCRDW JAJtUABY 21, 1831.

We dislike the idea of

dunning, but there are times (particularly with Printers) when a friend!

UfciT at least, is indtspensibly necessarv. Therefore, those who are indebted to us for Job-work, Advertising or on subscription, would confer a very great favor on us by discharging the same. The rums severalty, are but small but colle cl irey,would be amply sufficient to supply our every demand. We have deferred this notice from time to time, until we find it impossible, longer to protract the call; and being theirs v have made, sincerely hope that it trill be justly considered and promptly attended to.

fOSTAGB ON NEWSPAPERS. We are. touch pleased to see this aabjectbrought before Congress at so early a period, and confidently hope that it will be regarded as one bearing the utmost importance. If, in the wisdom of Congress, it should be deemed

inexpedient to repeal that portion of

the Past Office law that imposes postage epon newspapers, we have much reasson to expect a very considerable reduction. It is justly said, that upon the virtue and intelligence of the people depend the fate of all Republics. This -fact admitted, and how inconsistent with Republican principles, to impose an exorbitant ,tax upon the mentis of information. This tax does not effect the wealthy; they can bear with it. But upon the poor, and more nu-

xnerous ciass 01 our citizens it is griev

ously oppressjve.

We do not view the Post Office department as having been instituted for

the General Government, over and a-

bove the regular and incidental expen

tti incurred by its owa operations.

This cannot be the purpose of the de

partment. Then, why should the peo

ple be oppressed with a tax, which,

when collected, remains in the publie ix a i . .

couers unexpenaea. 11 mis tax were assessed upon such articles as we eat, drink or wear, and which might, with

little inconvenience, be wholly dispen

sed with, we could tollerate it; but, to

tax the

pers libraries even the alphabet itself, is insufferable. As well might a

Church of christians levy a tax upon j"es,as a Republican Government to tax its periodical Journals, directly or indirectly. As th former are essential to the salvation of the soul, so are the latter to the preservation and perpetuation of republics. During the year, ending 3let June 1831, there was received into the Post Office department upwards of $60,000 for which the department has no immediate demands. To what use sho'ld this superabundance be appropriated ! Quere Would it not be better to let it remain in the pockets of the proplet It ocly remains with Congress to right this matter, and relieve mearurably,if not entirely the honest yeomanry of our country from an undue oppression by means of taxation, which of all others is the most inimical to republican principles, and whkh places in the most fearful jeopardy our liberty and freedom.

o::::t:::0 The Tea imported into the United States during the year 1830, amounted to 0,156,268; the duty arising from which amounted to $2,949,342.

There hare been erected, during the

last year, in the city of Cincinnati, 503 buildings: 231 of which are frames, 2

story, 2iOof brick, vrrvine from 2

to 4 stories high. Besides which were erected 2 large churches, an extensive rolling mill and a brewery. 14 steam boats were also built at the several

boat yards in the city, total tonnage,

NEWSPAPERS . J In the State of Indiana, there are at the present time, about 26 weekly newspapers, regularly published the list of subscribers to each of which, will probably average 40l two hundred of which are conveyed by mail to subscribers, chargeable with postage at the rates of 50 cts per year each, which produces a revenue to the Post Office department, amounting to two

thousand 6ix hundred dollars averaging one hundred dollars from each establishment. Ah, the Printer, poor d 1, his real profits arc cabbaged by the public functionaries, and after wearing out his substance for the good

of the public, leaves his occupation in rags and tatters.

On Monday the 9th inst. the Canal bill passed the House of Representatives, by a vote.of42for,and 31 against it.

The fact having become notorious a-:

mongthe citizens of Indianapolis during the day, they took occassioa, in the evening, to manifest their approbation of the measure, by illuminating the town. The Canal Bill has pasted both branches of the Legislature, received the sanction of the Governor, and of course become a Laic.

Ijtdiak apolis, Jan. 6, 1832. Mr. Clarke, This day the High Court

of impeachment, by ayes and nay?, voted upon the different specifications

embodied in the impeachment, preferred by the House of Representatives,

against Yoang L. Hughs a Justice ofi

the Peace for Hendricks county. He was pronounced guilty on the 1st and 3rd specifications: not guilty on the se

cond, and the 4th and 5th were withdrawn, on motion of defendants coun

sel before the testimony was taken.

This trial commenced on Monday at

2 o'clock; after the vote was taken,

his counsel Wick, moved an arrest of

judgment, and the Court adjourned en

til to-morrow at 10 nVIwIr A. At

Thus four days have been brincipallv

occupied in the trial of this J. P., du

per diem, is about $400. Four days make 1600. The principle part of

to-morrow, will be taken un in the

Senate in the discussion of the tjuesion, which together with the fees tot witnesses, &e.j will make the whole

about $1800. r

I understand that another impeach

ment is brewing. Quere: Would it not be better to amend the Constitution, so that Justices, of the Peace, Sheriff's, Coroners and Clerks, could ne tried by the Circuit Courts, having the right of Jury to the accused! Other amendments I think could be made, equally salutary, that would produce a saving to the people. However, their sovereign will is my pleasure. Wick is a bold figurative speaker, perfectly cool at all times. He retains the command of his mind, with more apparent ease to himself than any declaimer I have yet heard in this place. In the tones of his voice, there

is, a deep thrilling symphony that insensibly attracts the aadience; while his

fanciful comparisons, and short flights

of irrormic severity, sets the risible faculties in motion; more especially as his sallies of wit, and flights of geniu

are all original, peculiarly his own they are said to be his strongest forts,

I should suppose the award correct.

There is something in his manner of

curbing a rising desire at severe retort that reminds me of the independent backwoodsman, who moanted upon a ! splendid gelding, conscious of his superiority in mettle and bottom, gently draws the rein, to curb back his impa

tient eteed; to the unequal pace of his

fellow traveller. However, he appears better calculated to figure on the

stump, or make a grand display in the

Legislative Halls, than in the discussion of a knotty point ef Law. While the principle manager for the house falls little short of him in the first petition, and nearly his equal in the second. Thornton is a much better legal Lawyer, than a popular orator. In the discussions of legal questions, I think he displayed equal tact with Wick. But reverse the 6cene, or as we commonly say 'turn the corner, then Wick takes the track. A petition for the contemplated new county tobe taken from Parke, Putnam and Montgomery, was presented in the Lower House, 1 think on the third in slant, no report has as yet been made upon the subject. Should it pas that body, I think it will probably fail in the Senate. The Senate was this afternoon engaged in discussing the eminent domain question, on a response to certain joint resolutions of the Legislature of Delaware. A bill has passed both homes authorizing a change in the State road from Indianapolis via. Danville, ond Rockville to Montezuma, through the land of William White and and Samuel Hill, Sen. No other change will be made this sesM. ill r

sion. A Din nas passed the senate, making it penal to pass foreign bank notes, (after the 1st of September next,

under the denomination of S'5 00.

What will be its fate in the Lower

House, I am unprepared to say. I am

sorry to inform you, that it is my opinion the Legislature will still remain in

session four weeks longer.

Respectfully, your most obedient, JOSEFH M. HAYES.
