call made unon me by a portion of my

citizens throughout the county, together with the distinct evidence it affords, strengthening my own wishes, that in the selection of pro per persons to represent the oldest county in the state, in the next Legislature, public interest will alone be consulted by the considerate of both pirties, has enhanced the pleasure with which I allow my name to be added to the list of candidates. That the individuals who may be thought best calculated to advance the peoples wishes should be selected, free of every extrinsic consideration, is my earnest wish. Our immediate interests, and our ultimate aggrandizement, in population, wealth and trade, arc so vitally dependant upon the long de layed improvement and extension of our navigation, that it is sincerely believed every personal and party consideration should merge in this great object. If we are to be allowed to avail of the liberal donation of land made by the general government, is proven by experience to be a matter mainly dependant upon ourselves ; and this consideration can no longer be overlooked without a fotfeitute. Actuated solely by a desire to tender myself useful, I fundly hope a long experience, with tli c Ti l of various sources of intelligence, will

enable me to meet the just expectations of

my fellow citizens m regard to this, and some other matters of general concern, which must be disposed of at the ensuing session.

I am aware, however, that during a period . of thirty three years residence in Indiana, in.

the constant performance ci vauous duties, no mortal could expect to be found entirely exempt from faults both of omission c com mission : but he who with integrity of heart, seeks to persue the interests of the country, and the wishes of his fellow citizens, may mcasureably hope for a fair comparative es timalion Offering my services under the cit curnstunces. and upon the giounds stated, and at a time of life when any active interfe rence or struggle to receive votes will not, I trust, br: expected of me, I shall only add, that if I be one of the candidates selected the renewed confidence will strengthen my former obligations, to increased exertions for ynnr welfare, atv'' invigorate my zeal in advocating such rnc-JMircs as seem best calculated to promote your happiness and prosperity.

CUMBERLAND ROAD. ROPOSALS for contracts for opening the Cumberland road, located through

the state of Indiana, will be received by the Superintendents at the Post-Offices in Ccntervillc, Wayne county ; Indianapolis, Marion county ; Grcencastle, in Putnam county ; and Tenc Haute, in Vigo county, until the 3 1 st d of July, next ensuing. The work is to be done in the following manner, to wit : The road is to bo opened eighty feet wide, the timber on that width cutoff and removed, the stumps must be tut low ; for thirty feet f the central part of the road the stumps

must be grubbed up, and removed from o(T

the whole width of eighty - teet. The said thirty feet to be levelled, the hills cut down, and the valleys filled up, so that on no part of the aforesaid width of thirty feet, the elevation of the road shall exceed an angle of four degrees with the hoiizon. 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 h base of about one and a half feet for each foot in height; and in all cases the width of thirty lect 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 arc cut through, or the road dug along the side of a hill, the bank must be cut at such a slope as to prevent the earth fiom slipping in on the surface of thirty feet, the slopes thereupon varying according to the ground. On each side ot the said thirty feet, and contiguous to it, a ditch must be made ot such breadth and depth, as to lead the water freely off, and prevent its tlowing on the road. Commencing at Indianapolis, the road will be divided both Eastwardly and Wcstwardly, into sections of one mile each, in the following manner, viz: Eastwardly from 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 Wcstwardly, 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 for opening the road agreeably to the aforesaid regulations, will be received at the places, and 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 be made to contrac

tors, equal to three fourths of the value of

inrcxpccteifinat undertakers will commence their work immediately, or so soon as possible, and complcteit 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 offer for more than one section, he will specify distinctly and separately, the sections, and the amount for which he will complete each, and the w hole. 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 epen the whole road, it is to l,c understood that no contracts will be made lor a greater portion than may be opened by means thereof. y HOMER JOHNSON, JOHN MILROY, Superintendents Cujnbcrlanil Hoof.
