INDIANA—

A Convention of Delegates, assembled at Indianapolis/roni several counties inithis State, associated with other friends of Internal Improvements arid Domestic Manufactures, beg leave to address your cool and dispassionate judgement on the subject of the ensuing Presidential election. Identified with the great hodof their fellow-citizens, in the enjoyment of all the blessings resulting from our free institutions, the nterest of the State is our interest, and the interest of Indiana we believe to be that of the Union at lar^e. So farasjthe Presidential election is concerned, our wighes are limited to this cardinal object, the prqsptrity of the STATU and NATION. Disavowing mere personal predilections disclaiming all party views and sectional feelings, abstaining from acrimony or intemperance in relation to our opponents, our only inquiries shall be, what are the measures which have promoted, and which are calculated to promote this grand ob jret? and who are the men on whom we can most confidently rely, to carry these measures into effect

On one of the most efficient means or class of measures, calculated to advance our prosperity, the opinion of Iiidiaua since her existence as a dilate, has been uniform and unequivocal We allude to the power of Congress to appropriate money lor the purpose of making Internal Improvements in the several States. That construction of the constitution which secures this power, and, as a matter of course, elicits its ex ercise, she has ever deemed of vital importance to her interest* It is believed that our fellow citizpns would never advance to political power, any man or set of men, who were directly at issue with them on this important principle and it is within the recollection of us a|l, that the explicit avowal pf opinions, coincident with our own, on this subject, by our present Chief Magistrate, in his first iVIessEgc to Congtejw, gave general satisfaction Jo the citizens of Indiana

As little doubt is entertained that in favor of the other great branch ol the. Jimerictxr) System* the protection of Domestic industry^ the sentiments of our civixens are equally uantinoUf The stagnation of tradtand the |,depret»s»Qn of our Agricuilural interest for wa.nt of a certan. &ud ponveDitut home markett have

VIGO COUNTY,

been too long and too severely felt by Indiana, not to cause her to embrace with e^gernes^ the only policy that promises relief. That a firm and persevering encouragement of American Industry, Agricultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial, fp the exclusion/, of foreign, wherever our countrymen are competent to supply, the (jemand* ol the nation, will have this tendency, and ultimately produce this result, is the prevailing sentiment in our State and we believe that Indiana will never knowingly invest with the Executive authority of the Nation, any individual, however illustrious, whose sentiments on this subjeptare either hostile, luke-w#rm or equivocal

We will here take occasion to remark, that the Presidency of the Uuited States, was never intended to be conferred on any man, merely as a reward, or coi&pensntion for services, civil or military. We cannot consent that a national trust, the highest and noblest a free people can bestow, should ever be converted into an a flair of personal aggrandisement, or even ranked among the premiums of national gratitude It is not for any personal benefit or emolument to the incumbent, that the people invest him with the fqnetions ot their Chief Magistrate. He is the depository of certain constitutional powers, for the benefit of bis constituents He is the Trustee of the Nation and although arduous and important public services are calculated to elicit the gratitude of the people,as well as to test the fitness of the candidate, stilt we repeat it, it is not as a reward, that our votes should be given to any man, but from a conviction that he is the best qualified to administer the government

If the above remarks be correet, fellow-citizens, we are authorized dispassionately to appeal to an enlightened view of your own interest, in making a selection between the distinguished candidates for the Presidency.

In Mr. Adams, we have an able and accomplished statesman, of five and-thirty years expsrience in the civil and diplomatic rejations ot our country, whose capacity, neither personal nor political hostility has ever questioned—whose mo. at character, the licentious daring of calumny, ha3 not ventured to assail who at an early period of life, won the con fidence and enjoyed the esteem of the Father of his country, and who has honorably and successfully filled fr'e most important stations under every succeeding Administration who is the declared friend, the avowed supporter of the American System.

In Gen Jackson^ we have a successful military commander, ivho, for his military achievments in the field, merits and receives copious tribute of the Nation's gratitude a gentleman, however, who is unr tried as a Statesman, and if he be a friend to Internal Improvements and Domestic Manufactures, is either unwilling to °r desirou* to conceal his opinions.

From the past three years of Mr Adams' Administration we derive evidence, sufficient to convince all, who are not wilfully blind, that the policy we advocate and support in Indiana, has uniformly characterized his course. During this short period, from three to four millions of dollars have been appropriated to permanent objects ot Internal impoyement,"without intrenching upon the necessities ol the treasury, without adding a dollar to the taxes or debts of the Nation, without suspending the regular and steady dischsrge of the public debt, which, in the same three years, has been diminished by the amount of nearly sj*tk£n $ui.upls OF POLLAIIS

What Administration, fcllow-citi-aens, have we eycr had, that exercised more paternal care over our interests?

Adams has, it is be

lieved, the honor of being the first President who has officially recommended the remission all forfeitures of partial payments, ijiade for the public lands, so as to enable that class of unfortunate persons to apply their forfeited moaey to other payments due the government, or in new purchases of lands. But hear his own language on this subject ill his last Message:

It Qan never be the inUrfst pv the policy qf the J\matiori,to wring from its own citizen$ the reasonable prof, its of their industry and enterprise, by holding them to the. rigorous import of disastrous engagements, recommend to Congress fhe REVIVAL and CONTINUANCE Jot a /MAer term, of the beneficent accommoda

have taken place. The Cumberland Road has been located through our State, embracing the Capital and •uch other towns, we have peti-^-tioned to have included in its route. Two Corps ot Engineers h^ve beea employed for successive ye^re, ascertain the facilities and Iocata an el re an a E tensive grants ot Land have been do-' nated to the State, one for a Canal connecting the waters of the Wabash and Maumee, the other to construct a thoroughfare from Laka Michigan to the Ohio River.

Fellow-citizens we invite yourv attention to the facts above set foith, and seriously ask you. whether you can expect from any Administration *if the Qovernrpent, more devote^ attention to your interests Will you then, can you be so unwise, an to sacrifice your interest to your feelings Can you, for the sake of signalizing your gratitude, or testifying your admiration of one, atnon^

the many benefactors of your country, let go your hold oti its permanent glory, prosperity Sf happiness Were the present contest whiciiealista every individual, which engages every heart# sharpens the faculties of every mind, a mere matter cf individual preference, we should deem ourselves unworthily engaged in bestowinw on it so much attention, or treat* ing it with so much gravity—Wero it a on he A

Jackson or John Quiucy Adam«

should

cal

administer the same princi-

pies and dispense the same blessings, we should regard the decision as of little moment either to our interest or our happiness. But the truth isf the contest is for principles and measures, and the issue involves a radi-

change in the hitherto salutary and prosperous administration of our public affairs.— Shall the princi* pies and pleasures whi'ch have been appropriately denominated theAmer• ican System, be any longer recognized as the leading policy cf the Administration Shall the next Administration encourage and protect American Manufactures in prefer. ence to foreign, facilitate and improve the means of pur internal commercial intercourse, bjr a liberal expenditure of a portion of the publie revenue in the construction of Roads and Canals Or, shall theso powers be denied their exerciso suspended—our manufacturers prostrated—the progress of Internal Improvement arrested, and the wholo of the immense revenues of tho country expended among the citie£ and towns on the gea-coast 4

It will be our endeavor, fellow-cit* izens, to prove by facts that will not

be controverted, and by inference® that cannot be resisted, that theso are in truth apd in fact, the questions now awaiting the solemn decision of the people of the United States, and that no portion ol this people have a deeper interest in the result than tho citizens of Indiana. jt

A cursory glauce at the state of the parties in this controversy, exhibits the singular spectacle of seven., States in the Union supporting** man for the Presidency on the declared ground of his awfi-tanff anl awti-improveinent opinions, apd hia partisans in five other States sup* \, porting the MHie OMU.» theknowiL. and recorded friend" of Internal I a a factures. Does the candidate blow hot and blow cold or which of.* A these clusters of States is mistaken VVhy, we would ask, do the Statef^ of Virginia, North and South Caro»i !ina, Georgia and Tennessee, bama and Mississippi, so zealousljurge his pretensions, and aflect

for the relief of Purchasers"of Public Lajids, and submit to their consideration in the same spirit, of

q»iUjt the REMISSION, pider proper, discriminations^ of the forfeitures of partial payments, on account of* the purchases of public, lands, so far as tozqllow of their application to, 4 other payments." .A compliance with the very letter of our petitions, Memorials Joint# resolutions, QD this subject, so far as the Executive authority is concern-'- I ed, ought, we should suppose, to saN-\ isfy reasonable men. iw

If our estimate of these facts b® not wholly fallacious, we have been well treated by the Administration. So far as concerns us, the Govern-^ ment has been well administered. VVe would suppose, that let the cryl of denunciation come from what*-. quarter it might, Ii^diana at least, would not join in the chorus. Dur- '. ing these same three years, all theV internal Improvements, that have ever b.een made or projected in In-/-diana by the General Government.'
