THE WESTERN a UN.

riMCKXWES, MARCH 19, 1825. I am requested to say, that Col. Jonx Myers has at length, after a long delay since the election, received his commission as Brigadier Generalt of the first Brigade of Indiana Militia. The election for Major General, in the 1st brigatc of Indiana Militia, which took place on this day week, is believed to have eventuated in favor of col. Lasselle, but all the returns have not yet been received. COMMUNICATED. Mr. Stout Permit me to announce the Hon. ISAAC BLACKFORD, as a candidate for the office of Governor, at the next August election. OLD KNOX. COMMUNICATION. MR. stout As the friend of the ex governor, permit me to request, (through your paper) the different editors in this state, who have published Mr. Blake's letter to you upon the subject of the late congressional election, to publish aso the certificate of the acting secretary ot state, upon the state of the polls. Justice to the ex-governor, and impartiality, seems to me, to require it of them. M. In republishing the protest of Mr. Ewing last week, from the Indianapolis Gazette, some errors escaped correction. In the fourth line, first column, the word 4 the" is an interpolation it should have iemnlv set aDart" in the last onrairiaDh for " proposition in the fullest latitude," ; read " ptoposition in its fullest latitude." i ' To Correspondents.
