VINOENNES. JULY 3, 1830 Isaac Hill has been elected to the Senate of the United States, in New Hampshire, in place of Mr. Woodbury, who declined a re-election, It will be recollected by my readers, that Mr. Hill was nominated as pecond auditor, and his nomination rejected by the Senate, because he was u printer. - The latest accounts from England, induce a belief that tho King must die. lie is popular with his subjects. I have been authorized to say, that JoErn Rodman is a candidate for Representative at the approaching August election.

READ THIS!!! If their ever was a time when the people of this republic were called upon to defend their interests, that time is at hand. Where is the man that can read the following letter, and yet look coldly on at the course of opposition. FROM THE OHIO MONITOR. To the Editor. Washington, June 2d, 1830. Dear sir; A great effort will made to mislead the people of Ohio in relation to the opinions of the President, upon the subject of internal improvements. He will be every where denounced as their enemy, and if possible an excitement raised with the view of carrying you elections. Now, their is one act of the President which contradicts all such declarations. If some men will not credit his declaration that he is ready to aid in promoting internal improvements which are really national in their character, they cannot Bhut their eyes to the fact, that he has approved the bill For the continuation of the Cumberland Road. In this he has given his assent to an appropriation of 200,000, for an internal improvement ot a really national character. Upon the S3me principle, he doubtless would approve of an appropriation to extend a branch of that road through your state, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi to New Orleans It is only appropria tions lor local objects to which he ob jects. lie objects to giving the money of the whole U. States to aid the projects of private companies in particular neighborhoods He has successfully shewn, that such a system leads directly to bankruptcy of the tieasury and the imposition of tax s upon the whole people for the benefit of small portions. The people of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri may rely upon it, that in proportion as the means of the govern ment are thrown away upon local objects, in the same ptoportion will the progress of the great work which passes through their states, be retarded. Had the President approved every project presented during the recent session ol Congress, the treasury would have been bo exhausted, that all appropriations for internal improvements must have ceased next year, and the great national highway through your state, been arrested in its progress. It is only to the wasteful system of appropriations to local objects and for political purposes, that the President is opposed. Ohio, so far as her interests are concerned, ought rather to thank thair censure him. He has saved the treasury from bankruptcy and retained the means of carrying forward the truly na tional work in which she has so deep an interest. If the subject be fairly represented and properly understood, I am sure that the people of our state will find nothing to censure in the course of the President. The want of a fixed system of internal improvements is sensibly felt and very much impairs the ability of the gov ernmcnt to do good The means of the U States have made a road over the Allegany mountains; this government has subscribed a million of dollars to dig a canal almost alongside of this road, and application was made for an appropriation to make a rail road parallel and often in sight of both. Here, the government is called on to make or aid in making three national works on the same rout, and almost on the same ground. All the means which the government can spare for internal improvements, might be expended among the Allegany mountains lor ten years to come in completing these works, and but one of them could be of any essential use to the na tion when they are done. A stupendous canal is now digging through George town and up the Potomac by the aid of means furnished by the government; yet with the blasts ot rock in this work ringing in their ears, some of the people here abuse the President, because he will not consent to their having more money from the treasury to make a turn pike in the same direction! So Congress on the last day of the ses aion sent one bill to the President mak ing an appropriation for subscription to the Louisville canal and another mak ing an appropriation for clearing out the bed of the rircr at the same place! If the river can be cleared out so as to be at all times navigable, the canal will become useless, and the money subscribed to it be thrown away; on the other hand, if the bed of the river cannot be cleared out, then the money appropriated to that object, will be thrown away. These bills went to the President on the

morning of the adjournment, and he U J

abused because he did not promptly sign them both because he did not wilfully sanction a direct and palpable waste of the people's money, I know not whether he will, under the circumstaces, sign either; I know he will never so far forget hit duty to the people as to sign both. You have observed that Congress sat all night on Saturday, encroaching five hours upon the Sabbath. Never was holy time applied to more unholy purposes. Daniel Webster went from the senate to the house and took command of his forces in their works of darkness. His dark visage was well suited to the time and object. Every bill making an appropriation was called up an passed, a fourth of the house being absent and many members asleep, with no other object than to throw upon the Piesi dent the responsibility of rejecting them. There was a lighthouse bill to which were tacked appiopriations for clearing out harbors, rivers, creeks, spring bran ches. Sec. &c. in twenty states and two territories. When this was called up a member from a certain state, waked up, rubbed his eyes, and asked in substance uIs there an appropriation in it to clear out creek in my state? The committee promised to put one in; if it is in, I vote for the bill; if not, against it." The whole was got up and thrust through upon the old Clay piinciple of bargaining. It is to be used by the ad vocates of bargain and corruption in all the states, as a means of attack upon the President. He is to be charged with hostility to their interests, because he would not countenance this midnight scramble to divide the contents of the treasury, although direct taxation might be the result. I understand the appropriations of that night were about two millions of dollars. In effect, they would have taken a silver dollar out of the pocket of every householder in the United Ssates. Let candid men say, whether the Pres dent was not right in arresting such pro ccedings. From the Indiana Republican. Madison, June 15,1830. Messrs. jirion and Lodge I have just seen your paper, of May 27th in which allusions are made to the confirmation by the senate of Amos Kendall, as 4th Auditor of the Treasury. That sub joct, it seems to me, is not correctly understood. I voted for Kendall on precisely the same principle that I voted for Mr. Ingham and otheis the heads ol the departments ; because the President being responsible for the movement of the whole machinery of the executive departments, has a right which has not been denied to any of his predecessors, to the selection of his heads of departments, Sc chief confidential officers around his per son. Nut surely that Kendall was a man of my choice. But he stood fair before the stnate in the testimony of those who knew him, as a man of g od moral character, and his qualifications no one doubt ed. He had indeed excited a great deal of odium against himself, on account of his prosecutions of his predecessor I o bias Watkins but for this I did not con demn him, believing Watkins to be a dishonest man, and to suffer justiy for his frauds upon the Treasuiy. He had been a printer, but to reject hirn on this account would have been to proscribe a whole class ot American citizens. He had been a heated partizan, but the ruie that would condemn him for this, would include almost every prominent politic ian of the last four years. The truth is, that the President's removals from office, had given offence to the minority of the senate, and but tor this ; or, if his nomin ation had been presented in March 1829, judging from the unanimity, which then prevailed onine suojecioi nominations, it is not probable, that any set wouid have been made against him. In addition to this, he had been in office more than a year, had removed his lamily from Ken tuckv and abanaonea ousiness there l o have rejected him on account of his poli tics, would have been virtually a remov al for opinions sake, that of which so much complaint is made against the president Ol the system ot removals I have always disapproved, and believed them to be the chief cause of all the murmurings against the present admin istration, but finding the offices about to become vacant, it was in my judgment, my constitutional duty, to vote that they should be filled, in all cases, where names of good moral character and quali fications were presented In this I have the gratification to know, that my course is approved even by some of those who have been themselves removed from of fice, who nevertheless have requested me to vote tor meir successors, rsei ther in this nor in any other case, have I ever in my life, given a vote based in hos tility to any man : the president or any other person. And in reference to this administration, and all others with which I have had any thing to do, my principle of action has been uniform. I have had no disposition to embarrass its move ments ; have supported its measures when I thought them right, and opposed thern when I thought them wrong. With much respect, your ob'dt. servant. WILLIAM HENDRICKS From the Pennsylvania Inquirer. W e are pleased to see the general ap probation bestowed on the seventh edition cf Smilcy's Geography and Atlas,"

hch has recently been issued from the

book store of Mr. Giigg, of this city. The work being printed and bound in the office connected with the printing cstablishmct of this journal, we have reason to know that the orders for this publication have been so extensive that not withstanding near seven thousand copies of the present edition have been disposed of in lets than two monthstihe supply thus far has been insufficient to satisfy the demand. The following, from the Portland Courier, is in the same spirit with most of the articles that have appealed in the various journals throughout the country in relation to this work. " Smiley's Geography How the world gots on improving. In our school boy days, some 20 or 25 years ago, when we used to stand up in a row that reached clear across the school house, and read fiom one end of the class to the other those "never ending, still beginning," stories of "situation and extent, boundaries climate, soil, and productions," which run through Morse's old abiidgement, together with the thousand jaw-breaking names, and all without map or question, we could not help thinking geography rather a dry affair. But now, such are the improvements of the age, geography is one of the most delightful and attractive of school exercises. We have received a copy of Smiley's Easy Introduction to Geography, with the ac companying maps, seventh edition, Phi adelphia, and have glansed over a part ol it. It appears to contain some valuable improvements, which we have not noticed in other works. The work is accom panied by ten fine maps, prepared under the direction of Hemy S. Tanner, whose acquirements and ability in that depart ment are well known. Besides these, there are about 80 wood engravings in he body of the work, some of which are maps of the principal cities and towns in the United States, and others are descriptive of the costume, manners, and habits of the people of ditieient coun tries. Mountains, rivers, and cities, are divided into six classes according to size, and are designated on the maps by fig ures We think instructors, parents, and school committees, who ate in want of geographies for their children or pu pils, will do well to examine this work " The Stea?n Engine Sup planted. Mr Fothamofthe Londui Royal Institution, recently exhibited a model of a JPneu matxc Locomotive Engine. The machin ery for communicating and regulating motion is the same with that ot the Steam Engine. There is however no boiler nor fire place, but light vessels of wrought iron called recipients are appended to the carriages. These re cipients are to be filled with air in a state ol density thirty or forty times greatei than the external atmosphere. These recipients are chargr d by fort ing pumps worked by water, steam or wind at va rioUH places along the road and when exhausted are to be replaced by others fhe carriage is to have very high w heels and the recipients are suspended unde the axles A ten horse engine will con dense, with one bushel ol coals, 1750 cubic feet, which is numVient to propel the carriage ten miles at the rate of twelve miles the hour. Bait. Republican. The Gold Region. Gold is now found extensively in eleven counties in North Carolina The Western Caroli nian says that crude gold is quite a com nton article of traffic through that re gion. and that great inconvenience is felt lor the want of some establishment by which its intrinsic value could be ren dered certain The Carolinian expres ses regret at the failure of the proposi tion of the Hon. Mr. Carson, to estab lish a baanch of the U. S Mint or an Assayer's Office, in the Gold Region. The paper of the Bank of Steuben ville is no longer redeemed at the Bank There are two Banks in Sieubenville One the Bank of Steubenville. The oth er the Fai mers and Mechanics Bank o Steubenville. The credit of the latter is unimpeached Cm Gazette.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Indiana Colonization Society, at Indianapolis, on June 16th, 1830, Hon. Isaac Blackford, one of the Vice Presidents, in the Chair, and J M.Ray, Secretary. Resolved, That as the approaching anniversary of the birth day of our Independence occurs on the Sabbath, the Clergy, among all denominations in the stated Indiana, be and they are hereby respcctlully invited to use the appiopri ate occasion to call the attention of the Churches, and our fellow citizens generally to the work of charity and mercy, contemplated lv the American Colonization Society, and to take vp collections to aid the cbject on that day Resolved, 11. at the aid thus bestowed Mo let the oppressed of our land go free be forthwith transmitted to the Treasu

rer of the Slate SocTcty at Indianapolis,

with the names of the CIcrgyn.cn res pectively,that they may receive the benefit of the R solution of the Board ol Managers of the Parent Society, that the African Repository and Colonial Journal be sent free to all Clergymen, who take up collections on or about the 4th of July for the Society. Resolved, That all Editors in this State friendly to this Society, be request ed to give the above an early and prominent insertion in their paper. ISAAC BLACKFORD, Cn. James M. Ray, Sec'y. Personation.- Two individuals, each claiming to be the veritable, eccentric, elder Lorenzo Dow, are engaged in preaching; the one near Washington City, and the other at Poultney, Ver mont. VThich is the imposter, and which the real Simon Pure, has not yet been ascertained; but surely the taste or ambition that could lead to the imitation of such an enthusiast as Lorenzo Dow, must be as extraordinary as the hypocricy of the act is disgusting. JV Y. Her. WESTERN SHEET LEAD. We learn that a gentleman interested in the Fever River Mines will shortly have a lead rolling mill in operation, and will soon be able to furnish sheet lead at any point on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and at such prices as will make it the interest of house and boat builders to use it generally in roofing buildings, steam boats, Sec. He is confident that a building can be covered with sheet lead at an advance of not more than fif ty per cent, on the prices now usually paid for covering houses with ordinary shingles, and that the roof thus made will be fire proof, water proof, and, as near time proof as any building that can be erected. It may also be remarked, that a lead roof will, should it be found necessary to take it off, always be worth from 60 to 75 per cent, of the original cost. Roofs of this article, made of sheets extending entirely across ordinary build ings, laid upon floors, having a moderate descent from the centres to the sides of the buildings, affording additional secu rity in the event of fite, and lofty and agreeable promenades in pleasant weath er, arc destined, in our opinion, to become tkall the go "Public Adv. Cure for Felons. We have been as sured by a gentleman who has recently had an opportunity of satisfactorily test ing the fact, that a plaister made of soft soap, and the strongest lime that can be procured in equal portions is a certain remedy for those disagreeable and painful diseases called felons. Lynchburg Virginian, Liverpool, May 8. The private accounts concur in stating that little hope can be reasonably entertained ol His Majesty's recovery. paris, May 1 The Journal du commerce of this morning gives the following as a postscript, il o'clock at night: "We assured that, on his arrival at Toulon, the court de Bourmont received despatches announcing the conclusion of an alliance, offensive and defensive, between the whole of the Baibary powers, viz: Mo rocco, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. The count has, in consequence, demanded a reinforcement ol 20,000 men." This report is contradicted From the London Courier, May 5th. The three Powers having consented to guaranty the loan of 60,000.000 francs, it is thought the Piince of Saxe Cobourg will not any longer hesitate to accept the government of Greece. Gazette de France. Frontiers of Servia, May 10 The rejection of the Protocols of London by the Sultan seems certain Al though we have no fears for the independence of Greece we cannot consider the war between her and her oppiessorsas absolutely at an end. The fortresses in Negropont, Caristo, and Athens, are still in the hands of the Turks, and if it should become necessary to expel them by force, it will not be without the loss of torrents of blood. The affairs of Greece continue the subject of frequent animadversion in the German papers. Frankfort, April 30. Extract of a piivate letter from Con stantinople. "The creation of Greece into an independent Sovereignty greatly displeases the Turks; and, what is more strange, is not approved by the Greeks settled here The Turks londly blame the too great indulgence of the Sultan, and affirm that there has been treachery on the part of those whom the Porte hitherto considered its friends and allies. The Greeks, on their side, express un easiness respecting the maintenance of the orthodox Greek Church undet Government of Prince Leopold, and fear, from his connections, an influence which may be injurious to the political and commercial interest of Greece. The Fanariots, or Greeks of Constantinople, say , than the new Sovereign will encounter greater difficulties that Count Capo, D'lstiij, because the spirit that prevails in Greece is wholly incompatible with the monarchial principle; and that the Prince cannot flatter himself with the hope of support from the higher classes of the nation.
