SATURDAY EEBRUARV 11, 1832.

An apology is due to our readers for the unusually large space in our paper occupied with advertisements, during the last few weeks. It was however, unavoidable the "Exhibit,"1 which occupied near three columns, was' published according to an order of the Board of Commissioners, and however Unwilling we may have been to publish it, we could not have been justifiable in rejecting it. We will endeavor to make amends. o::::::::o ASSOCIATE JUDGE. Th"s da, the election of Associate Judge takes place, at the several places of holding elections throughout this county. "We have been authorised to Bay, that Major WILLUM T. NOEL of this place, is a candidate for that office. o::::::::o

We understand, says the Journal, that

His Excellency, Governor Noble, has nominated the followin:r gentlemen as Commissioner's of the Canal Fund, in pursuance of th? Canal Law recently parsed, viz: JEREMIAH SULLIVAN, of Madison, NICHOLAS M'CARTY of Indianapolis, and WM C. LINTON of Terre-Haute. The appointments have been confirmed by the Senate. . o::::::::o A meeting was held in Indianapolis, on the 21st ult., by the National Republicans of this State for the purpose of forming an Elrctral Ticket, to be supported by those trienJly to the election of HENRY CLAY as President, and JOHN SARGEANT as Vice President of the United States. We have not yet learned, who were selected to compose the Ticket.

On the 17th ult., the "Apportionment Bill" was Introduced into the House of Representatives in Congress, upon which conetderable time was spent in discussion, 4?,000 is the ratio of Representation reported by th Committee, and on motion to strike that number rut, the vote stood, ayes 84, rays 9;. We think, from the spirit manifested in the debate upon this subject, that 4S,000 is as high as the ratio will be fixed ; but we should, not be surprised if it Ehould be reduced even as low as 44,000. The former number wn Id give to the State of In

diana, 7 Represent stives, with a fraction cf

5,582 the latter, the same number, with a fraction of 3o,5S2. We have given the remarks of Mr. AtUms u,Kn this subject in a nother part of th;s paper.

A p. tit on has boon presented to the Legislature of Ohio, praying- an act to incorporate a company to construct a Rail-Road from Clvliicothe to Lebanon, in that State. Such a road, says the Chillicothe Gazette, would open one of the nosi productive wheat

districts in this State, to tle commerce of

the Ohio Canal, at this point. That part of

thii State through which the RMl-Road is proposed to pass, is correctly denominated the "garden of th saff," and capital invested in such a work, could not be more profitably employ-'d.

There were transported, from Dayton Ohio, during the last three years, upon the Miami Canal, 143,535 bbla of Flour, 20,123 bbls Whiskey, 10,170 bbls Pork. The tolls collected at the same place, during the same period, is $29,327.

A man by the name of Jackson, recently died in Pickaway eounty, Ohio of Hydrophobia. He was bttten on the wrist, and none of the horrific symptoms of the distressing malady were discovered until eio-htv-

eeven dtys after the wound was inflicted; the disease was then manifested only when

liquids were presented to him. About fifty hours after which t ime death clo ed the melancholy scene, in despite of all that medical aid could effect.

A number of companies were incorpora ted for the purpose of constructing Rail Road3 from th3 Ohio river to the Wabash

ADJOURNMENT.

On Friday the 3d inst., the Legislature

of this State adjourned, after a session of

uearly nine weeks. The following are

Wong the most important acts of this session. The pasage of the Canal Bill. The ratification of the Law of Kentucky

incorporating a company f jt the purpose of

constructing abridge across the Ohio river,

at the Falls.

CALVIN EDSON, The living skeleten,is at present exhibiting his "raw head and bloody bones" in this city. An arrow and the hour glass and the figure would be complete. It looks for all the world as if the anatomy of some dissecting room had taken into his head to travel

and left his appropriate functions to

be supplied by proxy. By the way, we heard a good mot of

Edson, the other day , or rather the one

of which he was the occasion. A gentleman was questioning him about his

visit to Europe, and among other

things, remarked to him, "you did not

tell the Londoners that you fought against them during the late war?" "Yes I did," said Edson, "I told them

that wc drove them well." "And what did they say to that?" "Why they made me a pretty good answer. One

of them said, 'welf, if you did drive us,

you have nothing to brag of, for we sca

red all Ike flesh off rj your bones. A ( to

Haven Republican. FOR THE WABASU HERALD. "Merit is often an obstacle to fortune, and the reason, is because it always produces two had effects envy ! and fear, envy in those who cannot rise to the same degree of perfection and fear in those who are established, and who dread, that by advancing, a man possessed of more abilities and merit than themselves that they may he supplanted !" How very true in the abstract is the above paragraph, and not less applicable than true, is it, to the spirit that dictated the remarks extracted from the "Political Clarion" which appeared in your last paper, and

also, to the fiend like disposition of him

whose inimical feelings towards Mr. Hayes, prompted him to request its in

sertion in the Herald; I think lean detect the "boisterous squall" of a cer

tain individual, as he makes this re

quest; people say it was Mr. Tickler,'

alias O. P. Q., Jun., I say Jun'r to

distinguish him from his illustrious co-

temporary, the distinguished correspondent of the Ijondon Morning Chronicle. I blush at th idea of leaving the distinctionless obvious than it shoFd be; for what comparison is there between the mighty sun, and the, most diminutive star that decks the blue arch of Heaven; Astronomers say that

these myriads of stars borrow their

light, heat and motion, from the sun; let Mr. Junior consider ont.

Can the Editor of the Political Cla

rion, suppose for a moment, that his

senseless trash, will be considered to

have emanated from a clear head, or a sound heart, from a gentleman, a man of chaste, refined sensibility, or a man of dignified respectability. Does he flatter himself that the community will

read that combination of the ludicrous without lis exciting sentiments of dis

gust, for his violation of the better feel

ings of the human heart, contempt for

its author; if the doctrine dictated bj a rense of candor, and fearlessly declared by Mr. Hayes, in our Senate Chamber, does not agree with that of this

high minded Editor, let him by dint, of

argument, not of ridicule, expose the errors, and storm the untenable position, if there be any, of his political enemy. The public will know that they can fear nothing from the disclosure of a public man's, sentiments on any topic in which their interests is identificd; but on the contrary, they have everything to dread from a different course; Mr. Hayes has freely declared his opinions; if his reasons are not sound, let this cynical Editor wave his ridiculous stuff, and exhibit his reasoning powers; his argumentative strain; this is the course which honor dictates, justice holds sacred, reason recognizes, and which an intelligent community will support: hut when he

attempts to obscure the brightness, of

that fame, from which his feeble efforts cannot detract, let him first contemplate the stream of ridicule, changing its course, and with redoubled force and energy, reverting on the source from which it eminated breaking down all the feeble barriers which his utmost eflbrt can present to its path, and, prostrating the author of its existence. Let this Editor not imagine that his

citadel of glass' is a fit place to com

mence bombarding an imprengable castle. Even if there was strength enough

in his bow to bring his arrows to the

mark, we throw our gauntlet at his

fect,and defy his utmost effort. Whether difference with Mr. Hayes in politics, personal feelings, or that spirit of

detraction and scurrility, now abroad in the world, prompted him to com

mence his abuse, it matters not, in ei

ther case, be it the one cause or the other, that prompted him to action, he is equally culpable, and equally deserving, the animadversions of indignant public, of those who love truth, better than falsehood, and light, hetter than darkness. He has made the most unparalleled, and unfounded assertions, (if we may except those of a certain portion of society) and has not given one particle of reason in support of the positions he has assumed. Let him not accuse others of expressing themselves in a rigmarole of hollow and senseless trash. While he is capable of indicting such fit food, for th flames, as that

which now lies before mc, from his

pen. This cynick eulogizes the speech of Mr. Ewing, whose politicks agree

with his own; he then utters the most unwarrantable invectives upon the devoted head of Mr. Hayes, who has the misfortune of beinjr a Jacksonman.

This is the key stone to his whole con

duct. Mr. Editor is against, and Mr.

Hayes is for the present Administration. If Mr. Hayes had the good for tune of agreeing with this redoutable Editor in politics, he would, no doubt,

have received his share of the culogium,

which, with so bountiful a hand, has been lavished upon Mr. Ewing. Cut this is not the case, to which mutst be attributed this Editors Don Quixot like attack upon Mr. Hayes, through the medium of certain gose quill?, soap bubbles, corn cobs, whiskey barrels, crows, and a head without a great excess of brains to incumber it, (if we

may judge from his remarks) which

the fertile imagination of this transcendant genius has summoned into ex

istence. , , His remarks are altogether gratuis tous. No one will thank him for his trouble; except it may be Mr. with so many alias' to his name, and some others cf the same stamp; for, I believe, even Mr. Haye's political opponents ere too magnanimous to subscribe to his scurrility. He reminds me of the gurrilily of some of the women, (God bless them!) who when gathered round the tea table will talk talk talk, and like this huckster Editor, instead of minding their own business, will peddle" their slander, ridicule and scandal as long as the blessed beverage lasts. I do not include all the women, by any means ; Oh no ! In one particular, however, they differ with this huckster Editor they have good sense enough to keep their learned disquisitions to themselves, and not

permit them to appear in a public newspaper. When we reflect upon the part that the Editor of the "Political Clarion" has taken in this tragedy, or rather comedy ; we may well exclaim : ' "Oh shame! where is thy blush! " I am told, that this Editor, "is a young, headstrong, fiery politician, who assails all that is opposed to him without mercy." As fiery and ungovernable as he may appear to some; I make no doubt but that,like theyoung Dutchman's celt, "he can be made tame and gentle," or like Shakspear's shrew "starved into reason," for I am creditably informed; that a large number of his subscribers, have recently withdrawn their support owing to a certain satirical strain, which he has assumed, in endeavouring to mimick England's Pope and Byron. No wonder his dyes are dazzled by the brightness of their fame; but let mc assure him, that all his efforts to be classed with men of mighty minds, will be as ineffectual, weak, and powerless, as that of his endeavor to lower the honest politician,

and faithful Senator, Mr. Hayes, in the eyes of those who know his worth, and

knowing, dare appreciate. The part of

the speech of Mr. Hayes, to which he particularly excepts, has been copied into a number of newspapers, throughout the United States, which this cynick has denounced, as being intended "for rabble rousing:" Who has set him up as judge for an intelligent community? He must suppose, that we cannot form an opinion for ourselves. Let

me assure him, that the appellation of

"intelligent" was not misplaced when applied to the citizens of this republic; hence, his illogical "stuff" will be considered as an insult to their understanding.

Believing, that the EDITORIAL

COUPS, or those at least, who have copied the remarks, referred to, from the "Conncrsvillc Political Clarion,"

will do the PUBLIC justice; in giving this a place in their respective papers;

I have the honor of subscribing myself,

ESPECTFULLY requests the

Editors or publishers of News

papers within the several slates and

Territories of the Union to furnish him through their Representatives in Con

gress, of their particular States or Dis tricts , at the seat of the Federal Gov

ernment, with three conies of their

Newspapers marked ONE TWOTHREE issued on or about Wednes

day, the twenty second ot rebruary

LS32, bang the Centennial Annivcrsa of Gen Washington.) As his motive is entirely disinterest

ed and patriotic in making this request, it being his desire to produce positive

evidence of the number of Newspa

pers published in the United States, and their Territories, he desires that

particular attention may be paid to this request, and above all, by countrv

papers in distant towns, that arc com

paratively little known; and if, at the same time, they would communicate in their papers any ''statistical information" relativcjto theii jimmcdiate neighborhood, it would be highly appreciated, and gratefully acknowledged. It is intended that every newspaper received shall be carefully preserved and arr nged by States, in a room at Washington, devoted for this object; one set to be eventually deposited in the Library of Congress; the duplicate set to be transmitted to O. Rice, Esq.

of London, (Agent for the purchase of

Books &c. for the Congressional Library) to be by him placed in the British museum; and the triplicate set to be retained for some public institution. It is intended, also, as soon as this collection is completed, to publish in a tabular form, in the public prints, for the information of the people of the U. States, a list of all the Newspapers, embracing the "Name," place and period of publication," and "Terms of subscription." Great pains will be taken to make this list (being an important result to be gathered from the collection) as correct as the materials will admit. Orlt is honed that the intelligent conductors of Newspapers favorable to the above project will oblige the advertiser by inserting this communication in their respective papers, to each of whom a "tabular statement will be transmitted as soon as published.
