SATURDAY, May 17, 1817.

THERE will be an election held at the ourt-House in Vincennes, on Saturday the .2 4th inst for a Ji sticr of Pe acf. for the I ownsnip of Vinceniiea We nave understood that enry Gi.ham, William L. Comian, V tiliam Lindsey, and Phi ip Aimy will be candidates. The Jennings Centinel of last evening says " we mean not to rest our cause upon assertions or insinuations ic the Sun," if the future prosperity of the state an 1 the happiness of the people did not debar us, we should despise such writhing Sc hireling trash but we must we arc forced to notice it our duty and our principles require it. Whether the

assertion above quoted, made in allusion to our previous remarks respecting that j paper be true or false let our readers j determine and let them also remember j

that the proofs we afforded to justify more than was expressed have never been gainsaid. If t: is Centinel came here as a fair adventurer, l ow came Jennings to know of their approach some months before ? How came he to state that he would send a new press here ? But above ao how came it tr.at tins sham independent Cen

friend Solomon G re vbeard in this di

paper p ks to the point. These who know us cannot believe that we called the entinel a hireling devoted to a faction, from any desire to ha :a controversy with it 'twould be doing us injustice I he possitive and circumstantial information that was commucicated left not a doubt behind" k we published it for the obvious reason, that wool 1 benefit the people, put them on their necessary guard and explain to all, who and what tnis Centinel would uard Indeed we regretted that a necessity snbufd exist for our saying any thing upon the subject but we did not and e hope we never shall shrink from tbe performance of a necessary duty We said what we believed what information from a most respectable source justified, and unfortu lately, wi at their short career has almost substanti ied .

Their freedom and rights it has and ever shall be our aim and object to perpetuate the acts of the government, so far as our judgment approved, we have advocated and since the early days of d mocratic republicanism we have rallied and mustered in the ranks our talents are small we admit but they shall never be perverted to faction or to party We are for the country and for all who administer its affairs Uprightly and honestly Tl e ignorance and silly presumption manifested by such a charge made in the sense they make it, we could comn :ssc te, if those who, for aught we know of their politicks, may be " any thing or nothing " were worthy of it True, they insta re some reflections made upon the prat and good Madison by the author of M Farmers S Par ot Rights. The subject of them essays cannot vet be forgotten 'twas the proclamation for driving settlers off the public land. In his essay lie said nothing with regard to parties and even if he had those Ldiio.s were no; in the suu to

know the feeling excited by that measure nor are we responsibie be is ub.c to support his own doctrine we admitted his essays we shad never-smother free discussion, for party shall nevei wit I our consent impose any restraint upon freedom we are no scyophants We can admire greatness and esteem goodness v't may occasionally perc ivc a speck of impolicy and censure it However this is nothing to tne point we discover the Editors of tne Centinei will say any tl ing to shield themselves and protect their chief let that writers opinion in regard to the two great parties be as they may, he displayed Intelligence and patriotism, and his fee tings were responded by t! e peop.e But there was a charge at that time mane againsit Jennings for having caused that proclamation it wanted some support, and this advocate of his being insti ucted to call to mind the ephemeral essays of days long past affords proof pretty satisfactory. Let the people look to this Centinel, we wiH not struggle with it for a name we have earned, nor can party names make political principles 1 liferent But we beiieve it will ere ioi g be discovered they advocate an arisUx racy that if supported, will deceive and trample upon the rights of the people.
