Mr. Editor: Agreeably to previous notice iven in the "Rockvillc Herald,' and thi "Vincennes Gazette,' the political races in Indiana were run on the 1st Monday in A'ifxusT, lStH. Among the races which attracted public attention the most, was a "match race" between the voting horse "Attorney" and that noted old horse the "Boon", for the Congressional purse of the 1st District In the notice given previous to the race, it was stated that the keepers of the young "Attorney,1 were verv sanguine of success, and that "bets' were offered freely. The keepers of the 'Boon", though less inclined to boasting, were not the less sanguine of a most triumphant victory, as they knew the 'Boon' to have been well tried, that there was tu danger of the hi3 "Hying the track,1 or throwing his rider, and that he was of the half horse and half alligator breed, and bottom to the back bone. The day of trial however arrived, the .riders were mounted, and the horses soon out of siht of the starting poles. The onlv weight carried by the young "Attorney ivas a lilit Ketch Rider, whereas the old 4 Boon had to carry a dead weight of considerable amount, coniaU'i.r, in part, of several gentlemen of the tench, and of the Bar, a hogshead of Sugar, a Back of AHum Salt, a sack of Coffee, and several packages of the "Vinccnncs GasvtttP Some of the keepers of the 'Bo'n, from the circumstance f his being loaded with such an unequal weight, withdrew their "bets11, but those who were better acquainted wi;h the 'B -oV sned and bottom, offered to double their bets in his favour. horses appeared in 1 Soon, however, the siidit of the "outcome , and the 'lon'' was running ahead of the ' Attorney" at his ease, and beat him without the touch of whip or spur, or without having atfected his icind or limbs in the least degree. It is said that the youuj; "Attorney is badly spavined, that his limbs are m.ich swollen, and his wind so much impaired, that it is thought by many that he will never do far the turf hereafter NO JOCKEY. rOK THE WESTERN SUN.

Be astounded, O earth, at the wisdom of the people of this borough, tor permitting a would-be perfunctory somebody to run at larg, when the lives of so many of our citizens arc in jeopardy; for it is said, and generally believed, that he has. at various paris of the town, threatened a i i :c c, .i io one, unu u uu- oeerees u so, monstrous ! monstrous!! where shall we find a mad stone?

To see a young man who is in good business, with a promising fortune befoni him, let Bacchus take the management of his soul, and rove about the streets at times in a foolish, nay frantic manner, I am led to saymay the spirit of reform soon visit us, and do an act of justice by taking charge otthis child of misfortune. To see certainj ypung men. who would like to be considered untarnished, so far as regards the ch'altityof their characters, pop into a certain house not a hundred miles from thex saw-mill, Thinks I-to-myself, such youngsters might better choose evening for their kind visits. The other night as I was lying quietly in my ted, thinking of nothing but ?lccp, and in fact had nearly resigned myself into the leaden arms of Morpheus, I was suddenly startled out of my pleasant reverie by a most tremendous noise in the street, and on going to the front door to ascertain the cause of it, I was astonished at seeing some l or 8 gentlemen musician.'; pursuing and running from each other, and hooping and yelling like so many infuriated maniacs. After I had fully satisfied myself with witnessing their moveincuts, I crept shivering into bed, happy, indeed, that they had evacuated so suddenly; hut still was I doomed to hear their loud horse-laughs at interval, as they pursued their "glorious way," to the annoyance of their neighbours. Ah! vntiemcn, said I mentally, as 1 turned over, and addressed myself again to sleep, you do very wrong in keeping one awake by your riotous conduct.

G. & Co. offer their services t collect for their city and county friends, ami ail others, having claims against individuals or others in Philadelphia. They have determined to devote a considerable portion of their time to this new branch, and are well convinced that their exertions will give satisfaction to their employers. There are no doubt many persons at a distance having claims that might be collected, were they aware of responsible persons to address. The great expense in many instances paid for lawyer's fees, and where there has been no necessity for such a proceeding, prevents many lawful accounts from being adjusted. They will receive bills and accounts from any part of the country, which will be immediately attended to, and the proceeds applied in the city, or forwarded by mail a may be directed. No change in any case will be made unless the money is actually collected. The commission in every instance, to be charged on collections, will be J ten per cent. Postage must be paid, or all letters will be reinclosed and returned to the person sending. L. A. GODEY, tc Co. PREMIUM. The publishers ot the Saturday Courier grateful for the liberal patronage they have received, and anxious to improve, as far as they possibly can, the character cf American Literature, offer the following premium: One hundred dollars to the writer of the best Original Tale, prepared tor the Saturday Courier, and presented under the following restrictions and regulations. All tales intended to compete for this premium, must be addressed to Woodward and Spragg, Philadelphia, free cf postage, on or before tne first day ot December, 1831. Accompanying each Tale the v. l iter must furnish his or her name, and address, in a separate sealed envelope, which will not be opened except ia the case cf the successful competitor. Early in December the Talcs presented will be submitted to a committee cons.stine of the following gentlemen, vij: David Paul Brown, W ilh am M. Meredith, John Mus grave, Richard Penn Smith, Morton Mc Michael, and Charles Alexander, Esq's who will award prior to the 1st of January, IS'32. As soon as the award shall be determined public information of the same will be givtn and immediately thereafter the mcctssOi candidate may drav upon the publisheis for the amount ot the premium. The publication of the Tales will be com menced in January, 1832, and continued at the discretion of the publishers. Competitors for the premium are request ed to u-e Cure in the preparation of their manuscripts, as it is very desirable that ille gibilitv may be avoided.
