THE WESTERN SUN.

rijYCEXtfES, January 7, 1826. It does not appear by the latest intelligence that vc have received from Indianapolis, that our legislature have any - w thing of importance before them, except fixing the ratio of representation, and by

cd it at 800 for a representative and 2000 for a senator at what it may be finally fixed, is perhaps yet doubtful. ' Samuel Merrill, Esq, has been rc-clec-ted state treasurer, and William II. Lilly, Esq. auditor. There was a destructive fire in Pittsburgh, on the 1 3th ult. which destroyed upwards of 30 buildings, before it could be arrested. FOR THE WESTERN SUN. 2fr. Stent It may perhaps be useful to some of our fellow citizens, to know that at the last term of the District court

of the United Slates for the District of Indiana, Judge Pat ke made the following rule in relation to executions on judgments in that court. Ordered, That the several laws of

iiiii m .i n. u i i Linn' n i anil ii.i .iiinai

tate to execution, so far as theu may ah-

filty be the rule of this court concerning

executions, and the manner of proceed

ing under them, excepting however the

11th section of the act entitled " An act subjecting real and personal estate to execution" approved 24th January 1824, and the 4th, 5th, and lOih sections of an act supplementary to the aforesaid act, approved 12th February, 1825 " The 1 1th section of the act of 1824, above referred to, gives a stay of execution and the 4th, 5th, and 10th sections of N the act of 1325, are relative to replevy i bonds.

It is presumed that the restriction in "hc rule 14 so far as they may apply" will extend to all such state provisions in the proceedings under execution as have been provided for by, or are inconsistent with the constitution of the United States, or any acts of congress and 2dly, to all such state provisions as aie not consUtent with the jurisdiction of the District court. The 14th section of the act of "1824, or at least the two last clauses of that section, will afford an example of the first class and the ninth section of the same law is an example of the 2d clas The first is in effect an insolvent law, and the second gives an appeal to the state courts. UN US.

A rumour has prevailed here for the last ten or twelve days, that the cashier of the United States Hank at New-Orleans, has absconded, carrying with him a large sum of money belonging to the institution. Believing the New Orleans papers would have given us every tiling in relation to the affair, we did not notice the fact last week. The city papers however maintain a profound silence and why, we know not. The public ought to have the truth, however unpleasant the -telling of it may be Louisiana Jour. nature. Ill-natute is the most silly thing in the world. It plagues none as muc.l as it totmcnts ourselves. I've heard it said that he who goes to bed angry, has the devil for his bed -fellow & it might have been added that he who gets up angry shares his breakfast with the same companion. Nothing cures illnature sooner than to see it in others a

ment is the ascendant. In one short paragraph in a late N. Orleans paper, the editors are Irappy in one sentence ; miserable in another. They arc happy to find there was no such gale as they had reported had latclv overwhelmed twenty-

Jive sail of vessels. In the next breath

are sorry to have given this causlcss alarm. Most editors are the most happy and the most miserable upon the face of the earth. Richmond Cowfiiter

The rich lie s tfiest the poor sleep the soundest. The rich have delicacies, the rich hac health. 1 he rich arc afraid of loosing, the poor have nothing to loose, and so m this respect have nothing to fear. The rieh dread the midnight robber; the poor have no apprehenou of being robbed. The rich lung themselves through fear of poverty the poor laugh and sing, and love their lives too well, to put lluir necks in the noose. Of all Nepoleon's relations, his brother I.ucicn proved himself the most dctermncd opposer of his views and plans. One day, while they were disputing warmly on some subject. Eucien drew out his watch, and dashing it violently on the ground, addressed his brother in these vvouls : " You will destroy your .self as I have destr yed that watch ; and the time will come w hen vour family and friends will net know where to shelter their heads."
