VltfCEM&S JULY 9, 1825.

tn toot I have received a communi

cation from Jacob Call, Esqr. requesting me, to caass hit name to be withdrawn from the list cfcandidates for the legislature. Very respectfully, J. C. S. HARRISON. Jul 7th, 1825. We have received an account of the celebration of our National Independence, by the coloured population of this borough which came too late for publication in this day's paper, but shall appear in our next number. Mr. Stout We having understood that the Hon J. Call, has declined holding a poll as a candidate for a seat in our state Legislature, at the next August election. We therefore, request you to announce John DECKF.n Esq. as a candidate for that important office under the full assurance that he will consent to serve, if his fellow-citizens ihould think proper to elect him. 1 MANY VOTERS. Mr. Stout. You arc authorized by the friends of JAMES T. MOFFATT to say to the Public, that he will serve the county of Knox in the next Legislature, as a representative, if elected. Mr. Stout You will oblige an old subscriber, by publishing the following extract from a communication which lately appeared in the Indiana Journal. Whither this act of James B. Ray, in giving his sanction and mmnnrt tn sn "obnoxious a section' equal

led only by the "Gag Laws" in the "reign of

terror will meet tne appronation oi uie Freemen of Indiana I cannot say, but, I trust, they will denounce with indignation, any man who dares to encroach on the Liberty of the Press the "Palladium of our civil and religious liberty." !)

Tlrfnre thi emstle is closed, it becomes ne

fpm' tn examine some of the declarations

made in a celebrated Bulletin, issued at the town of Salem, at the close of the Lafayette campaign, bearing date 21st May 1825, to prove to the people that one of the declarations there made, differs from a previous vote given by his excellency. This inimitable documentthis nonpareil of composition, could not at the furthest, I should suppose; have occupied more than a week to make it. Flaming declarations and promises "dance through it in all the ma2es of m taphoric I confusion." My stars and garters, what short pithy sentences how elegantly divided by dashes". It would seem as if an attempt -was made to comprise the whole body of Divinity, Rhetoric, and Logic into four lints. His cxcellencv here declares himself, among other things, that he is a friend to the Freedom of the Press. But Old Science has shewed us, in the Journal of the Senate, session 1823-4, pages H5-6, that the following section was proposed to be incorporated into the criminal code of this state, which reads in the following words, to wit: Stc. 42. Every person who shall make, PAYnt, or publish, any slanderous or red;culous writing picture or sign, with a malicious cr mischievous design or intt nt, towards Government, magistrates or individuals, Bhall on conviction, be find not exceeding f 1VE HUNDRED DOLLARS." A member of the Senate named Thompson moved to have the above section stricken out, which was carried in the affirmative, 9 to 7; and among that seven who voted to tetain this obnoxious section, we find the ftame of one RAY and it is said that this Ray is the same person that is now playing governor; of this I am not certain, but the people in oar parts, are determined to satisfy themselves as to the identity nf the person before the August election, as the "eye of the state is upon him," and they arc deter mined to see that he acts consistently, or make no further use tf him. Now sir, wc ask you, how could you declare yourself a friend 7o the freedom of the firess," unless you have changed: and you have not told the people you h ive done so. How could you undertake to attack that sacred palladium of freedom with impunity, in a government like this, without invading one of the dearest rights and privileges handed down to us by the martyrs of the revolution. Did you want to place it in tne power of every demagogue whom chance or accident might casually throw into office, to commence a prosecution, when he might be justly assailed for having done wrong Or have you since atoned, to an insulted public for that vote? If you have, I readily forgive you, and I hope they will also but not trust you for the preent such a dereliction from duty requires a state of probation." The celebration of the fourth, was observed in a manner suited to this important annivers arw The morning was ushered in hy the discharge of a national salute, and our citizens generally partook in the festivities of thj dw There, were two dinner parties, one in "town, and one in the country both were conducted in harmony and good feeling The first was attended by those who Could not make it convenient to go out of town, and we understand Genl.

on Staten Island, in the 51st year of his age. His funeral was to take place, with

great attendance, and honors due, on

Monday From the hand of some frierai, wc shall doubtless have a Memoir of his

life. It is not necessary for us to say to

our readers that he was a distinguished

patriot, and proved it by his conduct at a

time when pa'notism was more than a

name; thai he . was a . truly honest though

latterly unfortunate man, and all times an urbane gentleman. His memory is entitled to the respect of his countrymen.

cenp.es Lodge, No. 1 md all other Brethren

residing mcennes, or its vicinity, are requested to meet at the Lodge Room this evening, at 6 o'clock. July 9, 1&25. Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, dated April 18. 'The Ministers of this country, appear to be in a truly embarrassed situation, us it respects the commerce of South Amcrica. Petitions from the principal merchants, are continually presented to them, from all quarters, praying them to open the commerce to that coun'ry, that they may enjoy the grat benefit which would, no doubt, accrue by such a mea sure. On the other hand, the govern mcnt are bound to the Holy Alliance, which effectually prevents them foin recognizing those states, although they are, no doubt, in reality lost to Spain. It is said, that Mr. Villile has called a meeting of the principal merchants, from the different parts of France, when this great question will be discussed. If the recognition of the South American states, takes place, France will no longer form one of the Holy Alliance If, on the contrary, she refuse, there will be a just cause of camptaint, by the industrious part of the country, who will have a right to say, you impose upon us, heavy taxes, particularly, the one in question, for indemnity to emigrants; and you seem determined, by your system, to put it out of our power to pay. In my opinion, this government will be forced to accede to the wishes of the majority, and let the rest of the Saints of the Alliance, take care af themselves. There are now sev-
