VINQENNES.zm 19,1828 Mr. JcAn . and Samuel Thomfison have requested me to say, that circumstanstances cotnpclls them to decline the honor of serving as Ttustces to the Seminary, and to request that they may not be considered is candidates. Mr. S. Colman, or Merom, shall receive a passing notice next week. I have been desired to state, that Andrew BurnsIdes and John Bruner. will, it elected, serve as Trustees to the Seminary. "Philo" has been received, and shall have a place next week. The Enigma furnished by Q,' is crowded out this week next week it shall have a place. I have been authorized to announce Dr. IsR.r.L T. Canny, of Jefi rson county, as a candidate for Governor, at the appoaehmg election. His addicss to the people is given in another column of this paper. TO THE VOT . RS OF INDIANA
Fklt.ow Citizens In presenting myself ?na candidate toryou suiTiagCs at the ensuing election, it may be ptopcr to premise a few observations explanatory el the course which I have thaught it my duty to pursue. When I consented last winter to become a candidate, there was an understanding with some of my friends, that I shuu'd m.ikc a loui of some ex'ent thiough the state, ami use Uicsc exertions which have been usual with candidates for office, in this and some of the adjoining sla.es This course, how cv er re puguint to my feelings, and nppocd4 as 1 co.ir.eiv e, Ij the tt ue inteiestsof the pe.op'.e, I n id
house of representatives, Another to limit
the time of executive service to a single tci m, and thereby take from the president all sinis ter motiv es in his appointments to office, S important is this latter principle dccmcih that
many of the nates have limited the service of
the executive to a single term ; and the want of such limitation in the Constitution of the
Union, I consider one of its fundamental defects. These sentiments I censider it my duty to
urge upon such of my fellow citizens as 1 may
have intercourse with, in whatever .situation I may be placed j and it is equally my duty to support the present, and any other adminis trationofthe general government, in i mea sures not opposed to the public good. The great (Question of affording protection to every branch of national indusu y is so firm ly settled, by the passage of the late tariff, Uiat it may be considered as one of those national measures in w hich all panics concur ; and is not to be shaken by any change in the administration of government. Any fears therefore on this important subject are visionary, as there are not more than sixty members of the hotuc of representatives oppestd to the prin
ciple.

Jonathan Angerine whose publication I have seen in the last Western Sun, called upon me to present his account to Mr. Ewiug; which was for three weeks and three days work, S per week ; I done so, and was told by Mr Ewing, that " A. had worked for him only three weeks, for which time he was wildne; to pay him" offering me the amount ; although, said he, " his contract was to work for me until my publisher arrived " I told ofTor, which he refused saying, a he would sue if E had property." 1 told him then, to sue, and if he could recovei tho sun he claimed, I would insure him that amountThis, Angerine done ; but failing to ptove more than three week's work, he waa obliged to j 'iay the costs.

I bargained with Mr. Ewing to board and lodce this Angerine and another journeyman, at g I per week for each, as I liv e in the house, and they were so convenient. The board waa not iufciiot; and they had a pallet, formed of a butTalce robe and blankets, withiheet, bolster, Ike such as most men would of choice prefer, at this season. The remark attributed to Mr. Ewir.g, in the Notice uforesaid, respecting bedding, is uttcrU false the conversation 1 held, was accompanied by very different language. The other journey
