If JAcon AsnERSoN, (or his heirs if he is deceased) will apply at the Post Office, Vincenncs, Ind. he, or they, will hear of something to their advantage. Postmaster, Foil THE WESTERN SUN. mr, editor As the first Monday in August approaches, I perceive in almost all the public journals, the list of names of candidates for office, rapidly increasing in number ; and as the political sentiments of public men is public property, it is but tight that the people should demand of each candidate for office, (ind particularly of candidates for the state Legislature) an unvarnished declaration of his sentiments in relation to the present administration of the general government, and his views in relation to the next presidency. That two great political parties docs now exist in the United States, whose feelings and sentiments are widely discordant, is too selfevident to admit of contradiction it is not therefore in the nature of things, to expect that any individual whatever, who may become aenndidate for any important situation, can unite the support of both these parties. We sec that a well organized opposition to the present administration, is already raided, and vigorously prosecuted from Maine to Louisiana, with a settled determination to put down (if possible,) general Jackson and his friends, m order to gratify the unbounded ambition of Henry Clay his followers. Henry Clay is now the acknowledged bend of the opposition to ijcn. Jackson, and his administration, and no doubt remains but he is to be the opposing candidate for the Presidency in 1832. I trust that no real Jacksonian will forget the disingenuous course which was pursued hy the Adams & Clay men in this state, during the late presidential contest. 13 y the cry of u no question," and their untiring in Justly in clectioncring. they procured a lare majority in the state Legislature who

were friendly to the late administration of

Messrs .Mazis Is Ciav, whilst a large majority of the fiecfilc, wete in favor of gen. Jackson ! Our members of the Legislature thus

elected, were true to the party then in power

they sent forth resolves, and printed addresses without number, in which they attempted to white wash Mr. Adams, and to disparage the fair claims of gen. Jackson! Having failed in this attempt to influence the people, a plan was devised previous to the November election for Electors, to prevent every man from voting in any township in the county except the one in which he actually resided. The statute was appealed to in justification ol this disingenuous conduct on the part of some of our political opponents, whilst the three Supreme Judges, (all Adams men,) were permitted to vote out of their respective counties ! 1 ! add to these things the fact, that many electoral tickets purporting to be Jackson Electoral Tickets, with two Jackson electors, and rArrr Adorns electors, were imposed on many of the Jackson men in some of the Wabash counties, and me thinks that there is no real Jacksonian who can hesitate

the whole width of eighty feet. The said thirty feet to be levelled, the hills cut down, and the valleys filled up, so that on no part

of the aforesaid w idth of thirty feet, the ele

vation of the road shall exceed an angle of four degrees with the horizon. Wherever

the road is to be raised for the purpose of carrying the road over a valley, the sides of the embankment must be made to slope at an angle not exceeding thirty degrees with the

horizon, or with a base ol about one and a half feet for each foot in height ; and in all cases the width of thirty feet at the surface must be preserved, making a proper allowance for the settling of earth, and no stumps or wood of any kind to be permitted in filling up. Where hills are cutthrough,or the road dug along the side of a hill, the bank must be cut at such a slope as to prevent the earth from slipping in on the surface of thirty feet, the slopes thereupon varying according to the ground. On each side of the said thirty feet, and contiguous to it, a ditch must lie made of such breadth and depth, as to lead the water freely off, and prevent its flowing on the road Commencing at Indianapolis, the road will be divided both Eastwardly and Westwardly, into sections of one mile each, in the following manner, viz : Kastwardly Irom the 72 mile post at Indianapolis, to the 71 mile mile post or tree, to be the first section Eastwardly from the 71 to the 70 mile post or tree, to be the second section, and so on to the state line between this state and the state of Ohio. And Westwardly, beginning at Indianapolis, and from thence to the first mile post or tree, to be the first section; from the first to the second mile post or tree, the second section, and so on to the state line dividing this state and Illinois. Proposals lor opening the road agreeably

to the aforesaid regulations, will be received at the places, anil until the time before mentioned. Contracts will be given to the lowest bidders, and not more than ten sections, (ten miles,) will be given to any one contractor. No advances of money will be made to any, and no bonds for performance arc required ; monthly payments will bo made to contractors, equal to three fourths of the value of the work actually performed. It is expected that undertakers will commence their work immediately, or so soon as possible, and complete it in a reasonable time. Articles of agreement will be entered into between the contractors and the United States, as to the manner of doing the work, and the time for its completion. Should any person ofTer for more than one section, he will specify distinctly and separately, the sections, and the amount for which he will complete each, and the whole. Persons whose proposals may be accepted, will be notified immediately of the same, and directed where to attend to enter into articles of agreement. Should the present appropriation of fifty thousand dollars, not be sufficient to open the whole road, it is to be understood that no contracts will be made for a

greater portion than may be opened by means

thereof.
