In his (la v's paper, I have uiven an ox trat fnm the Circular of William Hendricks, Esq. and have to regret, that its length precludes its entire publication.

I most request a rancid perusal of the SrtiHo in the last pae of this dai paper, taken from the Globe. On Monday next, the election for township end county officers, is to take place let the people not neglect their interests, care should be taken, ami good selections made.

them in the 2d congress. lift) MAS H. BLAKE. Terre Haute, March 17, 1831. ANOTHER ACCIDENT. Lai-rcncchurgh, March 10.

labor to divert public opinion from the true state of things, merely to answer party purposes.

Sugar, of ordinary and merchantable quality, on the plantation and in the city, by the quantity, is a dull article at five cents per pound. Very choice, such as is generally sought for by grocers for family use, is considered scarce, and commands higher rates. Molasses, we continue our former quotations of fourteen cents fcr that near the city, and have been unable to hear of any heavy salts taking place since our last leport. Todacco, is not in that good request it was some three or four weeks past, owing to the firmness f holders to former rates, and these willing to purchase being unable to ship at even half the price they formerly di l The prospect so far as we can learn, is decidedly against any immediate improvement in tins article; and strong doubts are entertained as to any thing like a continuation of the present quotations, when the market is well supplied, We have heard of a sale at 2, 31, to 4 cents, for crossed, seconds and firsts.
