and a motion to publish all, or any part of

Stockholders, on motion of maj. Da- is Floyd,

the following: resolution was adopted :

June 13. Resolved, That a commit

tee of three stockholders be appointed to wait on the members of the Steam Mill fiompany, and ascertain from them, all the information k which thev mav be wiH'mrr to give on the fol

lowing particulars viz : 1st. What time would nn'rrvtvr tn cruder them to make iviv-

WVII- - ' - ment of the'debt due bv said Company to the State Bank of Indiana? Ud. If the time necessary should be allowed by the bank, what additional assurance they would be able to give, that the money would be paid ? and further! to report to this meeting any oilier, or further proposition of said Company, relative to the adjustment of said debt ; and that the committee make their report at 4 o'clock this eveniiMx: Mr. 'Chairman. The committee appointed to wait upon the Steam Mill Company, have, according to order performed that duty, and have to report in part, that one mcmbrr of the Steam Mill Company, (that is to say) Jen;. JJiirke ha informed vour committee, th t he hoidsVmmdf readv to make over in trust, all the property of which he is possessed, for the pavmeat of "the debt due the bank, and such others as have demands against him ; Z that his other debts are comparatively small ; that the balance of the members of the Covn-nv have not given anv decisive answer, nor is the acting A ment willing to make any proposition in behalf of the Company until an opportunity AflP'rrd him of examining the seeral de

mands airainst the Company

that thev would not, in any

able to miv it. All which is

m-tted. The above reported by mai, Flod,

at the meeting of the Stockholders J June U, 1SC1. The following was offered b- 1 )- rtor Adams, and riassed. 1

- ' Jl

aot exclusively attributable to the undue in-

'uence over its operations possessed by the

-Steam Mill Company, or a part of them ; that this influence was occasioned by the i-

frentity of the former President and others of ihe directors of the Bank, with the members af said Company. Resolved, That the power given to the officers of the bank bv the bve-laws, to pur-

iiase bills of exchange, did not authorize the

purchase ot that non-desenpt species ot pajer, falsely called bills of exchange, upon vhich the Steam Mill Comp'y. obtained from 'he bank, the enormous sum of Sl.OOO, or Jae-e tbouts term bills of exchange, meaning in the said bye-laws, nothing more than is commonly understood by it in all commercial transactions, viz : a draft drawn by an individual or commercial house of one place, upon mother individual or commercial house, at mother place j bv which great facilities are

given to commerce, and the interest of banking institutions promoted, and could not by any torture of language be construed to mean an order for the payment of money, - drawn be an agent of a company, living in Vincennes, upon the members of the same company, residing in the same place, one of whom was President of the Bank. Re?o1v- d, That the President and Cashier, as well as such members of the board of directors, as aided, or were accessary to the obtaining money from the bank by the said company in the manner above stated, betrayed the confidence reposed in them, and sacrificed the interest of the institution. June 15, 1821. G. R. C. Sullivan offered the following report : Jlr'icreas it is deemed of the utmost importance to the respectability of the Bank of Vincennes, the State Bank of Indiana, that hr r debt to the general government, should :e adjusted as speedily as possible, and with as much satisfaction to the government as the embarrassed condition of the B cik will pernit ; and to obtain this desirable end, it is expedient to ascertain the views of the T'caurv Depart oent in relation to this subject Therefore be it Res-olv d That the directors af the B mk rf Vine, nves h requested to open a cr'pondenoe with the Secretary of the Ti e sarv as early as they may think prudent, to obtain the requisite information, which may enable them to make the necessary arrangements for the adjustment o the claim : and that they forward ? copv

ot the foreg,vaig preamble and resolution, as expressive of the views of the Stockholders of this meeting. Messrs. Adams, Baylcss. and G. R. C Sullivan, committee. June 15, 1821 The fallowing was offered by mai. I). Flovd, and passed. For the purpose of releasing the directors of the bank from that censure and responsibility which might accrue : alto save the B uik from a ted;ous and ( x ensU e law suit with the Steam Mill Comp ov Uesohu dy That the direct v-s of the Bank of Vincennes be authorised to s.shm't to arbitration the matters ill d"sv.ute "between the said Bank and Steam M 11 Companv ; th 't is to s iv, that all matters in disvt? be subm'r -ted to one C vrisellor, lea-ed in the V to be nominated by each rrty ; and th 't the two Counsellors thus chosen, shall appoirt one other disinterested gentleman, learned in the law, to act ?s umpire ; that the parses shal1 enter into bonds, in a sufficient penaPv, to abi le the decision or award, by said arbi tvator?, made and signed ; or. in case of their disagreement, the award of th ir ipi," chosen as aforesaid, made and s-gnM.

solution not to be binding on the board of di

the rigmarole vulgarism, that you ought to

vote for this or that man, because he is your neighbour, or even because, (as is frequently very gravely remarked) he is forsooth ! what every man in society is presumed to be, a god, well" meaning honest man ! I duly appreciate goodness and honekty as virtues, and ain prepared to admit there has hitherto been a plentiful lack of both in the Executive ck Legislative departments ofourbtate Government: But we mistake our own welfire, when we prefer a good honest dunce, to even a knavish one, for a Legislator. Sir.ee the mischievous acts of the latter, are denounced at once, as the proper fruits of vilhuious dcsigny while those of the former Come rer us like the sweet south, " Tliat breathes uion a bank cf vioLts ; " Stealing and giving odour." Vain are our murmurs against this honest re

presentative, for busy, shortsighted, sickly charity, has mantled his offence with the sage suggestion, that he is a " g'jod honest ttuin" and ' meant all fcr the bc:,t." That i, the fool meant no harm, because lie sarj none ! In the name of Pride, Honor, Dignity and Interest, let us be " no more guilty of "this open and apparent shame." Let us make one linked and determined effort, to shake oft' this

lethargy of the brain, which holds us under

the dominion of other people s knux'esj and makes us in love with our own f .v. Let us elect for our Legislators, men who are not only honest, lv.it of sagacity to diseern, and talents and vigour to rejiel impending danger. A REPUBLICAN. The following gentlemen have been an
