IX consequence of (ho change that has taken place in the territorial government, to that of a state, I hav e been induced to offer my services as a candidate to represent the citizens of the said state, in the congress of the United States ; should my fellow citizens think proper to i nt rnt with me so importa?it a charge, I pledge myself to make use of the besl exertions my capacity and qualifications will admit of, to promote the interest and prosperity of the country . Permit me here to remark, that in April. 1813, 1 became a citizen of the Indiana territory, and in December of the same year, I received the appointment of collector of the revenue for the same ; sinre which time I have transacted business, more or less in my offi ial capacity, in every section a v of the territory, & I will venture to say that no pains on my part has been spared to render the collection a little burthensome as possible. It may be said by some, that a more general acquaintance is necessary ; hut taking into view the immense population that has come amongst us within the last three years, a single blush will shew that it is morally impossible for any one person to be generally acquainted, unless by chara 'ter. Perhaps it will be well here to rem irk. that if I am elected, 1 will support the present administration ; my political sentiments being in unison with theirs. In making this general it murk, it will I presume be sufficient, ithout entering into details of the principles of the two great political parties now in the United b tales. The efovernment of the United Statt js appeals to be a Im mistered in a manner to promote the happiness and welfare of the people and a long as the men in power pursue the ame measures I will yield them my support, whatever my situation, whither a representative, or a private individual. I will not he considered to hind myself to adopt every measure which may W recommended by the government because mere measures of expe

diency, which does not involve principle, will not effect a general system : hut all questions relating to the principles which have hitherto governed the administ ration, would meet my support. Republican governments depend wholly on the confidence of the people, and their principles are easily, and ought to he generally understood , public measures should also he simple, easy to comprehend, and carefully adapted to the exigencies of the government. I am very respectfully, A. D. THOM. Jeffcrsonville July 20, 1816. For the Western Sun. Mr. Stout, I promised you should again hear from me. this promise I now realise. I have in your last paper noticed the anti -republican caucus, or fraud, to foist mr, Thorn, or a certain well known mr. Hendricks upon the people, for their representative in congress. t refrained from any particular notice of this Hendricks for I then, and vet do, conscientiously believe him to he totally undeserving of any. I know him to he sycophantic and ungrateful, and this in all reason, is enough the man however, who first brot' him to the territory, and aided him in rising, can. I am creditably informed, shew him to he even worse ; but enough, a large proportion of t lie good people of the territory know him. & his claim to their attention will be deservedly disregarded. Thorn's claim ft' v is more plausible, but as I endeavored to shew in your last, equally inadmissible compared with George R. C. Sullivan neither of them are entitled to a single vote. It here becomes me to declare, that in coming forward to advocate mr. Sullivan's election, I would not at the present time be alone induced by considerations of private friendship, or mere ad mirat ion of the virtues that adorn his private life ; but these, blended with a conviction of the ability and zeal with which he will advocate the best interest of our new state, would serve as an excuse for more than I shall now add in his behalf. A Voter.

To the Citizens of Indiana. W E are about to assume an entire new character, and I really fear we will resemble a puny child, taken from nurse too soon but experience will alone enable us to judge. For my own part, in estimating the benefitsto be derived from any great political change, I always think it necessary to take into view the various combining parts which go to make up the whole when I set about valuing to their utmost the contemplated benefits that may result from our state constitution ( admitting tluit even chance has given us a good one) I will take into account also, all the injuries, expences and sacrifices, that will inevitably follow its establishment at the present time and I w ill select men to direct its influence, and manage it af fairs, who are disposed able to render these as little felt as possi b!e. In making such selection, like a good republican, I will be no blind follower of names or in

dividuals, but shall uphold such as can faithfully do their duty, even in the midst of ceaseless clamor and malignant denunciation such as can be " unmoved, unshaken, unseduced, unterrifyed " and decidedly uniform in their attachment to the principles of our government, and the wise & patriotic measures founded thereon. 1 will never choose the political insects of an hour, that overlook principles, and look only to nanus ; but I will choose the firm and undeviating supporter of the stable fixtures of rational freedom the man who will be true to his country & to himself. Names little understood, and but lately introduced, are now in vogue here. What is there in a name ? Virtue 6c vice, honesty and dishonesty, sincerity and hypoensy, may, with marble affrontery, be confounded and changed in their aspect by it ; but principles are not to be changed with policy ' that which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.' But these names that I allude to, are frequently abused, and frequently mistated, for electioneering purposes, and the people should be aware of such arts. It is in times like these that the public voice is viciated, & employed too freequently, by unfounded statements, to gratify spleen, envy or jealousy and it is in times like these, that the public should be guarded against such imposition : for their motives are concealed, & others pretended of a public nature, thro' the influence of names. This is done, because the bare suspicion of any private infer est or passion in the public voice, is sufficient, and most justly so, to create invincible prejudices against it. Thus an individual may be put down for the satisfaction, advantage and safety of the sinister and the interested, by the mere influence of nanus, and to the injury of the country, the people, and the peoples rights. Names shall never influence me I shall look to the principles that Were established by the declaration of independence, and the constitution of the IT. States these, not a blind admiration of men, shall guide mv selection. I will now advise my fellow citizens to prefer men who will represent the peoples, not their own individual interest men who have capacity and acquirements to justify the choice, and all may yet go well. Let us not have to say of this state constitution as the dying man who ordered for his tomestone the following inscription " I was well, I would be better. 1 changed my diet, and here I am." Let us not permit political quackery to try experiments with impunity but let us elect men who can guard against any innovation upon established principles, that have been found since the independence of the U. States, so eminently beneficial in other states. This is enough ; and however strong my disapprobation of any political measure, my heart is an utter stranger to any political resentment. I never have, and I trust I never shall (where principles are not concerned) if an opponent he impelled by a conviction of the propriety of his own views, bear any feelings of political hostility ;

but like a genuine, not a musroon republican, my understar ding must be convinced, when my opinion be changed. A Federal Republican. NEWGOODS TH fubferiber has j u f received from Philadelphia, and is now opening, t fupply of NEW GOODS, Confining of the following article-
