Fclloiv Cvizrns Mr Osborn. the Editor of the Western Register and TcrreHaute Advertiser, under the plausible pretext, of defending himself from imputations of vcnali(tfy in regard to the approaching election has endeavoured to convince you, that 1 am opposed to the improvement, and connection of the Wa bash with lake Erie. Had this attack been made by a respectable citizen I should havetieated it with serious attention ; but coming as it docs, from the pen of an alien, ol a HtUih subject I think my fellow citizens will not t eem it worthy of credit Nor should 1 bestow on ft a single remark, did I not consider it my duty to unveil this miscreant, who ran only live in troubled waters S; hold him up to public view, in his own native character. Is it not enough, that Great Britain, has in two exterminating wars, shed the best blood of our country, and endeavoured to mb us of the dearest privileges of man ; but, must she now furnish us with cditois, to dictate to us, Sc say whom we ouht, or ought not to have represent us? He who cannot claim the right of suffrage ! lie who has for a series of years resided in our country, and not become a citizen 1 Shall he with impunity attack our characters, arraign our motives, Sc find fault with our political opinions ? -No, fellow citizensassertions from such a source; assertions at war with common sense: but chiming with Britith fioliey you will not credit. la there a person of good sense residing in this district of country, who is opposed to the improvement of the Wabash,

and lit connection with tbc Maitmcc river or who wishes to delay ibis interesting work ? No, there arc none. Yet this renegado printer, on the eve of an election, endeavors to make you believe tbat I am opposed to the interest of Wabash district. A canal communication with lake Erie, so as to afford us a northern market, has for years been the theme of my conversation ; and I have endeavoured to point out plans, and suggest ways and means, to effect this grand object ; and now, an alien to his former friends; and an apostate to his political faith, charges me with an opposition to our common interest, and insinuates that I have become a candidate, to favor the election cf one, whom he labors to degrade. Although Mr. Osborn may have felt himself bound to support " the candidate first announced," and made himself the judge 6f my capability St disposition, yet I could not surrender myself to the dictation of a foreigner, nor would I permit him (an alien) to announce to the electors of this District, that I iasa candidate to represent them. I deem it unnecessary to dwell upon this subject, and will submit the subjoin cd article, written nine years since, to prove that even before New York had commenced her great work, I pointed out the poitage between the Wabash and the Manmcc, as demanding attention. With the charge of venaliij I have nolhir.g to do ; and if our alien friend can clear himself from his own charges, I shall rejoice. He may well tell us about a little cash in advance donations,' special obligations,' and 1 receiving such favors with grateful feelings' vet he do nies being influenced by pecuniary considerations' 4 a galled j vde will wince ' Mr. Osborn declares I made assertions respecting his wont of i.uegi ity, and then tries to prove that those assertions of his own nukiner, are false. To those who furnished him, cn credit, xr'tth printing- material.?, I say, that they, I have no doubt, only thought of granting to him a loan from principles of chanty not thinking that this act of benevolence would make him their very obsequious friend.

Not expecting to be in Terre-IIauir. ; for several weeks, an 1 kivuvini; :h?.t c:r j v.ew made Rrilish friend will be true lo i what he thinks the interest of ;. count:-?, j I beg of the public not lo give ioiolkit i credit to what be may vancc, or 1 shall j ! not again b v.h.- ie i r, n notice his eon- j due, ii I was disposed to do s , before the first Monday in August. The following p: .duc;i.:nl . vote nine years since, and published at ViiKennes, which I think will convince cvrrv candid person that I afh a-quainted with the in terest of our state. ;kS will devo c my best talents to p! onio'e it. l s KiruLhn. From the Indiana Cential. The extensive inland navigat'on of the western count! v, i s'j ikingly exemplified by tb e late arrival at this port (Sunday Ju ' ' J or rnc cjeguiu Almoner num boat, lirothcrton r.nterpnsc, of six tonsbnrthM en, from Home, N. York, in fifty days this boat left the Mohav.k river, on the first of June last, under the command ol Thomas Dean; and is navigated !y four Indian men. accompanied by two Indian women, and an Indian boy, all posesing habits, manners and education indicative of the most complete ;.nd rr fined c'u iliz.ation. The object of capt. Dean and company, we understand, i-, ?o obtain from the Wabash Indians the cession of a tract of land for the Urotherion Indians, in c use quence ol an invitation given by the former. They intend to ascend the Wabash to its source, and by a short portage, to pass over into the Miami of the lake, by which they calculate to return. The whole route will, they calculate, be pel formed by the first ol September next, making (in the short space of thiee months, including the time spent in curiosity, business and the necessary detention of bad weather,) a journey of between two and three thousand miles belting the states ot Ohio and Indiana, and part of the states of N. York and Pennsylvania In circumnavigating this extensive area, which contains between 80 and 100,000 square miles, they have only to pass three short portages of about thirty miles. From Rome they passed through Wood creek, into the Oneida Lake, from w hich they descended the Oswego river, into L Ontario coasting tho south side of that lake, to the Niagara falls, theycarticd their boat on w heels from Qucenstou to Chippawa, (a ponage of eleven or twelve miles,) into the Niagara river ascending the Niagara, and coasting tbc north side of lake Hue, to the mouth of Catoragus creek, and up it to a portage of ciight and a half mites, over which they passed into Chatauque lake, and down the Concwongo into the Alleghenny. The Alleghenny, Ohio and Wabash, present a smooth and uninterrupted navigation to the head

of the Wabash, a portage of nine nv.lcs, connects the Wabash with ;bc Miami of J the lake, over which capt. Dean intends

In the spring of the year during high water, boats have frequently passed and repassed by water, from the Wabash to the Miami of the lake, without unloading. What a striking viov,docs not this give of the future relative importance of the western states. The waters of this country, are generally speaking navigable to their source, for boats of considerable burthen, and in numerous places, the waters leading into the Ohio, arc connected by short portages, to the navigable watcis of tlie lakes indeed from the Illinois rive r, boats can frequently, at a high stage of water pass into lake Michigan, as easily as from the Wabash into lake Erie. Had capt. Dean ascended the Illinois, Sc thence into the lakes, he would have doubled the length of his' route, and circumnavigated twice the extent of territory, which he now will. If the contemplated canr.l through the state oi N York, is ever completed, and it the waters oi' the Ohio, were connected by canals with the lake. I think the opinion m;y be hazaicled, that the states of Ohio and Indiana. & lliir.ois territory will, in time become mose populous and rich than any o. her equal extent oi country, in the Unit.- 1 Stat; s. The lands bordering on the lakes will be equally valuable, with those n Ur 0!mj;md the interior will not fall far short, for through almost every part, ft is intcispcrsed with fine navigable slicams. What a field docs not this country exhibit to the speculative philosopher, the statesman, h. the enterprising capitalist. Here the genius knowledge and enterprise of man can find full scope lor its exertion, lint the rapidity with w hich this country is progressing, outstrips all calculation, we have only time to notif c, wonder and ad mire its astonishing strides towards im- j provemcnt unlike modern Enone, ! spreadirg war and devastation, through the bean of c.ivilizvd nations, here man is employed in i.nnquct ing the hue-is, bv tne at ts oi ;'r -icmturc an aits oi en Hiza'to!) and inster.d u .iact-timr. plundering ai-d demoiUhin" ci'.i s. ii. is cngar'-d w'i: It an umctmtVng ai!,;r, in rearing iihtgos and 'on-. a- itioi:ir. ior!s ..f his vino: i ;s IM11LO KKl'LKCTOn.
