...THE WESTERN SUN

FINCENNES, july 12, 1828. Governor Ray visited this place on Friday the 4th iost. -Gen Stapp, one of the candidates for Lt. Governor, was in company with him in the afternoon they rode out about tVfo miles to a Mr. Chadwick's, where a large number of citizens had assembled to celebrate the day. After being toasted, the gov. rose, and addressed to company in a speech of two hours. Not being myself present to hear it, I have endeavored to collect from those that were, an estimate of iu.meiit, but finding them so various I abandoned the attempt, and hope all parties will be satisfied upon my briefly stating Govr. Ray made a very long speech which was considered by some as most and by others as exquisitely Each portion of readers are desired to fill the blanks to please themselves. The Rev. Mr. Lock, of the Methodist E piscopal church, will preach at the court house in Vincenucs, on the third Sabbath, being the 20th July, at 1 1 o'clock, a m. New-Harmony, Jtlly 2. A most destructive fire took place in this town on the night of Friday last. Soon after 1 I o'clock, p m, the large frame building containing the Steam Mill, Cotton & Woollen Factory, Fullmer Mill, cc. was discovered to be on fire.

and in the course of a lew hours was entirely consumed. The amount of pioperty lost by this accident, including the dye-house adjoin ing, which was likewise destroyed by fire a few weeks ago, is estimated to exceed ten thousand dollars.

It now appears cc tain that the read must pass east of the Kankiket ponds, or We will get no road north ol,or land to make one south of the Wabash. What the Commissioners will nefct proceed to, I know not, they have exposed themselves and worn down their hands and horses, expended their own monev, (the members of the Legislature last session having in their squabb.ing lorgot to make an appropriation to defray them,) labored under deprivations and surmounted difficulties, that few, if any others would combat, and arc now, from appearance, just where they started. The road in all probability, will not be located this summer perhaps it may next fall after the nettles and mosquetoes are gone, and the ponds covered with ice. A Citizen of Carroll County. June 25, 1328. FROM THE TKAVELLEH. As the Press, tins great national Palladium and blessing, by means of extending inhumation, is liable to abuse- ; it is well understood, that almost unrestrained as it h in mis country by legislative statutes, it shouid come under a formidable, rigid ccnsoiship, "the moral seN'Ej" and every violation of such a sacred canon, receive its merited scorn and .detestation.

Mr Editor It his been repeatedly asserted, by injoy of the Jackson cditois in the tvest, that the people are m only, if not cxclu sively, indebted to the Jackson party in congress for the tariff law rf the last session. To place this subject in its true light, to shew the people of Indiana who arc, and who are not, the friends of the farmer, the manufacturer, and the mechanic, I am induced to re

quest you to publish in your next paper

From the Western Herald.

The Tur fT. In the house of representa

tives, on the final passage of the tariff bill, 42 Jackson and 63 Administration men voted for

it, and 63 Jackson and 3 1 Adminisu atin men against it. In the senate, 9 Jackson and 17

Administration men voted for the bill, anil 15

Jackson and 6 Administration men against ir

How then, since a large majority of the

Jackson members, in both houses, voted a

for this bill to the friends of gen. Jackson r

Had the question, in the house, be n left tn

the Jackson members alone, it would have

stood thus : For the bill, 42 Against it, 63 Jackson majority against the bill, 21 In the senate : For the bill, 9 Against it, 15 Jackson majority against the bid, 6 w0 So the bill would have been lost.

Sun, Editor. The TiviUs. The ebonies have prepared and piinted, with immense- labor, a spurious and false life of gen. Jackson, proving him to be the greatest dunce and blundetbuss in the world, even in his military campaigns ! In every instance where he gained a victory, it is most logically proved, that he ought to have been defeated and one is almost led to doubt, so bad was general Jackson's arrangement, whether he really beat the Btitish at alt at Ncv Orleans. This book is o base an attempt to mislead the public, that even the most darincr of the ebony printers are asham ed to put their names on it, as firinters. As for the author, we might as soon expect a man to come out and avow himself the au thor of the coftlnf handbill. J.
