a fixed unchangeable interest therein both have had some experience, but Mr. Hendricks decidedly ahead on that score, with an elevated character acquired in congress, and in the gubernatoiial chair, which the Judge has yet to attain by serving the people, and displaying a share at least, of political knowledge. '1'hcsc remaiks are not invidious, they are forced from me ; and as 1 had no individual feeling in regard to either of them to gratify, and all who knjw me, know it I had no dictator in the case, nor in any other case, but the good of all, & the incumbent duties my station demanded of inc.

Evcrv itflecting man knows that local designations when applied to su.ih a station as that of a Senator for the sla c, in the Congie-s of the United States, arc at bottom, little better than the ill'ib. ral ambition of mis rubb invention, which will always grasp at profit, and power, and incidental hci.oi, withtlot the talent, inuc and energy, that give a just title to it. I have already rein vked that I did once vote fur Judge Bki kford. hec.iu e I had b.en spoken to by Mini-.: fiiends about this place, whose wishes I respect ; but to go lor him throughout, would have f ern a sacrifice of jud. merit and duty, such as I shall ncv r make, hdn lioldcd in repaid to consequence's, either as a representative, or an individual Again had not the gover ten superior claims to the Judge f Wcte thev not both ob-oxious as holding offiCCs?

With a portion nl mv consti.nv'nts thinking as I do, thai Mr. 1 Km hicks uas decidedly the mo-t c'igih 2 choice, if 1 had ihrouerhout voted tor J i !ge B a klord, would I not have Occn lig'ueous y b tameable md is it not unrighteous to hi ime me, actirg as I did ? Yet afici all the bkmie cast upon me res parting tii e Senatorial vole, may, in but a few instances have v hiog else in view than the gi a'ification of nam d and illwill !

I do most re?pi ctfmlv think, that when the energies of my mmd have been f dthfully t xei cied for the gcneial go nl, free of ail pledges, free of sirister influence, free of any imposing inst i uctioo and when tne most im nanlv, imfound d and detestable enn itv can shield itself in order to injure me, and ia anv wav it appears most likely, it tni ,i't seem lair to expect ol y U who air 1) ad u pi i ht, m d u im i at her to i ct' ve, 'ban to hk s' the chat.icu r ol our cimtiv, to know, be f-ue v.m decide ; and ieMv the i-.tcrested enmity of such as rc'u f io do t. s shall ' ps by me like the id e wind," except that it must stamp its ( v, n infamy.

The bench should never be permitted to become political, nor the legislature judicial ; and the fitness, &c worth, and qualifications of all aspirants to office, should be carefully noticed, without the influence of personal predictions, or local feelings to impose upon the judgment. I rejoice to believe that it never can be here, with office holders, as it is with the disciples of Mahommcd who pay a visit to the tomb at Mecca; they must ever after, be regarded with distinction however unmerited but the people at large will I hope, guard against such a feeling, and thus effectually curb such licentious deception. I have dwelt longer upon this point than it merited ; but I cannot totally suppress my agitated feelings, when I have every reason to believe, that the base enmity of base men, excited, and using as a pretext for their momentary covering, base falsehoc ds relating to the result of that senatolial contest, put lire to ir.y house and property, by which they were consumed. For the unprincipled w retch whoe desperation caused him to wish a fellow being in the ilamcs of his own dwelling, (and I hear there is such an one) he i cither the incendiary, or equal only to him, and unworthy of a remark here. 'Tis evident that the malicious ai'ony of blasted ambition, or the diabolical enmity of some worthless vagrant, must have impelled to the black deed. But, gentlemen, 1 hope I shall always find enough for my war ts, if not for my wishes; and neither my piinciplcs, sentiments, or conduct, shall ever be chang ed towards you, by incendiaries Sc woithless imoovtors. Let mv course in the Senate be scrutinized through the journals, and my whole life examined, with the present and the past transactions affecting it, and I know I have nothing to apprehend at your hands. Iam rejoiced t have additional auxiiiaiics in prospect to serve you ; but remember that your aid at the polls in August will be neces-sa-y to obtain them ; I ttust it will be given so us to ensure strength and success to future efforts in your behalf. Respectfully, your servant, JOHN EWING. February 22, 1824.

Uayvaiid R. Hall, whom the tiustces have engaged as a teacher. Mr. Hall is a gentleman, whose classical attainments are perhaps not infetior to any in the western country; and whose acquaintance with the most approved methods f instruction in some ol the best m i vcrsitii s in the U. Slates, and whose morais, manners, and addiess, render l.im every way qualified to give dignity and character to the institution. '1 here will be two scisior.s of five months, in the ear. The admission fee for each scholar at the commencement ol every session wiil be two d"lLi s and filiy cenis, making tluexpense of tuition tor a year the sum ti five doiiars. Ciood hoaiding can be had in respectable lamiiies, either in town, oi countiy, at Convenu! t (!i.siaices, and on moderate terms, not exceeding Si '-5 cents per week. The institution will for the present be strictiy classical, and et ch scholar will be rccjuiied to Hlinish hiin-c;f vvnh a supply of classical books, of which the following are recommended, and wili be needed from term to term.

The Seminary buildings are erected on an elevated situation, affording a handsome view of Bloomington the county scat of Mom oe county, and also a commanding prospect of the alj cent country which is altogether pleasant ai d well calculated for rural retreats; and as it regards the healthiness of its situation, we hi'Zird nothing in the assertion, that it cannot be excelled by any in the w estern country.

I have, within the last two years, had an opportunity of seeing several cases cf very inveterate ulcers, which having re-s-.s'ed previously the regular modes of treatment, were healed by the use cf Mr. Swaim's Panacea, and I do believe, from what I have seen, that it will prove an important remedy in scrofulous, venereal, and meicurial diseases. W CHAPMAN,!. D. Prrfrsror of the Institutes and Practice of Phijsick in the University cf Penrisylvania. I have employed the panacea of Mr. Swaim in numerous instances, within the last three years, and have always found it extremely efficacious, especially in secondary syphilis, and meicurial disease.
