We are auth ri"5p'l to announce Capt. SAMUEL d'QUlLKIN, as a candidate t'or Sheriff of thia county at the next annual election.
We have been requested to announce Blaj. JAMES SMI TH of Parke county. as a rand date to represent the counties ofVi o, Parke and Yirniillion mthe $e*t general Assembly of Indiana.
Ve have been authorised by several gentlemen who are friends to JACOB CALL to announre im as a Candidate to represent the first Congressional District |n the 19th ongress. observe that
THOMAS H. BLAKE Esq. And the Hon RA LIFF BOON fcre announced in several papers as candidates to represent the same district
The people in many parts of this state appear to be arousing from the torpor «a which they have too Jong remained,
and evince symptoms of a determina-" tion to assume and exercise those rights whieh belong to them, but trhich have too long been usurped and abused by aspiring individuals
Public meetings are happily becoming the order of the day—in Ihos® met-tr gs the official conduct of our public officers is thoroughly investigated, our citizens have a free terchange of sentiment, and are thereby the better enabled to tect fraud and reward merit
Duplicity has been too long practised —the honest and unsuspecting have too long reposed confidence in a train of buzzing political pedagogues, who have made it their business to flirt through every section of our country, trumpeting their own excellencies, proclaiming their own unequalled wisdom and acqurements—declairing their own pat.i otic virtues and public i?ervices—enforcing their clams to the suffrages of the pcopie in the most earnest manner—at,d by a familiar grin, and presenting a delicate hand, a flowing bowl—or whiskey bottle, acquire the appellation of a fine feliow," wiud themselves into the favour ot the weaker and unthinking c'ass and secure their support, while by promising the more designing to favour their intrigues and private interests—secure to themselves the reins of power nd soar to the highest stations, not by their intrinsic merits, but through the' negligence, and lolly of some and the baseness and intrigue oi others.
The people, however, begin to learn that so long as they sutler themse ves to be Uiosgoverned, the ri«rht of suffrage so dearly bought by their ancestors will pr. tfit ihem 1 ttle Should the principles contained in the following lleso uttons, wh ch we extract from proceedings of a public meeting held in Knox county by the citizens Johnson and tne adjoining townships, be generally adopted and strictly adhered to, the iittle try of noisy political chnmpeons who have torso long a time distrac'fd the pub ic concerns of our state, would shortly retire to the shades of private lite and their places be filled by men called forth by the people, whose independence of sou causes them to shrink with disgust from the disgraceful practices adipt by the office hunters o' the day, and whose wisdom, virtue and integrity would give stability to our laws and prote: tion .ind succor to the best interests of «ur state.
In these remarks we do not wish to be understood as alluding to each and every individual who have been clothed with authority during the time that our political phrenzy has raged, but to such as have practiced the policy which we have now described and which are touched upon in these two short Resolutions
Resolved, That in future we will discountenance the practice of treating —and riding through the country and so lieiting our suffrages—and tvill withhold our supportJ rom all practicing the same."
Resolved, That in future we, the people will choose and nominate Candidates for our several offices

By the return of the Miami, I cm. brace the opportunity of writing to you on the subject of a Pork estnblisiiment. 1 wisl* you would inform me a* soon as you can ascertain, a"Vpng Other thing what is the price of lull hooped feasoned pork barrels? staves ami heading ought to be seasoning at Irast 12 months before bein* made into barrels. Is seasoned timber to be had at Terre Haute, and have you £ood oopers Not one particle 11 sap ought to be left on the staves or heading and the utmost care i9 necessary to have good barrels. No part of the staves should be less than five eighths of an inch in thickness and n«" part of the heading less than threetiurths inch in thickness,—17i inches betweeu the chimes and 28 inches long branded on the bilge with the whole of the Cooper's came, or at least tlveinitials What number of Hogs,raised on corn, weighing 200 lb. and upwards, ciuid probably be purchased? Do the lings, such as are called com fed,obtain their living in the woods, until tlia last two monts of heir lives? or do the farmers feed out some corn through the season Is the Chinese breed of Hogs introduced in your settlements? Thia breed is vastly more profitable, than the common long legged, and large boned Hogs, for farmers who have pastures and feed with grain. 1 he offal (heads and legs) being in agreat measure a dead loss, it is important to sma 1 bones, and animals as fat as thef can bo made. What is the price of freight per 1001b. from Shawneetown to I'erre-Haute, and vice versaany thing more on the subject which joti can communicate will be interesting, tHere it is live rnonlhs, or
