VINCKXNES, SLPTKMBLR S, IS3-. fjrenn news given in tins day 's paper will be found in teres iin The result of the late elections in lhi State tor members to the State Legislature will be found in the columns of this day's paper. I hope it may not give mv neighbor, of the Gazette the fid get. Mu. STorrr- The question is often ashed in my hearing, why Mr. Hili. has refused or neglected to iive the Presi dent Veto Message on the Bank Bill, to ins readers f Can you inlonn me? Q. A Mr. Hill promised in his prospectus toptb!i?ji an impartial sheet, and is a man of truth and candour, I will leave him to answer my correspondents question himself, and in his ow n wav. for Tim wFsrr.ux six. Mr. Cloy, and the Public Lands. It will he recollected by the reader, that the subject of the public lands of the United Sutes, was ref'ered to the committee on Manufactures, of which Mr. Clay ivas a member last winter and while Mr. Clay w as in favor of an entire repeal of the duties on imported articles of luxury. w hich enters mostly into the consumption of the families of the rich, he made an elaborate report, and exerted himself in a speech, again&t any reduction in the price of any of the publi-; lauls of the Uui'ed State, and in favor oi distributing the moncv collected off the citizens of the newStates, among the several individual States of the Union, in proportion to the federal population of each state! By this ''system," as proposed and advocated by Mr. Clav, the wealth v state of New York, would receive about five times as much as would fall to the share of Indiana? It w ill be seen from Mr. Clay's own .showing that the sales of the public lands amounted to upwards of .$' ,000,000, during the last twelve months; and from a reference to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, it will be seen that a greater sum had been paid for the purchase of the public lan Is in Indiana, than in anv other state in the union. And now that the national dibt is literally paid off, and a general reduction has taken place in the revenue to be collected from impost duties on articles imported into the U. States from foreign nations, the public lands which have been acquired by the price of so much blood and hazardous enterprise, are to be made an object of speculation and profit anion; the old states of the union, at the expense of the citizens of the new state-'.!!! Now I will not even insinuate, that Mr Clay was in the slightest degree influenced bv selfish or political motives ; nor could 1 if I were so disposed prevent the people from drawing their own conclusions, and nieteing out to Mr. C. such reward as they may think his efforts entitle him to. A writer in the "Wabash Courier," in commenting upon Cl. Boon's expose of Mr. Clay'j policy in disposing of the public lauds, makes use of the following Ianguage: 14 With a full knowledge of the circumstances, and a fjol hardiness dis playing a weakness peculiar to the ma:i, did Mr. Boon endeavour to wrong an individual whose whole life has been devoted to the improvemcnt.and prosperity of the irc.it. " Now I call upon the writer of the lines here quoted, to point to one single act of Mr. ( lay's, by w hich the west has been benefitted, nay, even his own state of Kentucky. It is true, I be'ieve, that M. Clay was parti v -instrumental in settling the question by w hich slavery was ! introduced into Missouri.

Ind Democrat. GLORIOUS TRIUMPH. , IVe have met the enemy and they are curs. Upon a comparison of Ihe polls from the different counties in the State on Thursday last, at Frankfort, the aggregate vote for Governor and Lieutenant Governor stood as follows: Breathitt, 40,681 Buckner, 39.42 1 Breathitt's majority, 1,260 Moreheud, 40.046 Taylor, 37452 Majority, 2,594 A AND da.e maioM'v of Tvtf.lv k Hundred's Sixi y for the Republican candi against the BinK party and Mr Clay, will be hailed throughout the Un ion as a victojy, as splendid aod chect itig as it was unexpected abroad. The Hon hs been bearded in his den. Mr. Clay's own State, his own neighbors and countrymen, disgusted with his piinci pies, and ashamed of the man. have aban dned him to the fate which bis unprin lb cipled cou-se has so justly merited. I Win will now lift up a voice in his be j hall? His party has dwindled down to a j band of hungry desperate ofRce hunting ! leaders" ivuhmt followers It would be madness to renew the struggle Ioj I him in Kentucky; and will the other States of live Union countenance the pre tendons of a man forsaken, and cast off as uowonhy of confidence a; home? It ; cannot be believed The convention novr "gettinjr up a. Lexington, is designed entirely for effect abroad. The evolution is perfectly un der stood hee The decisive majority of Col B eathitt, not only over Judge Buckner, his immediate competitor, bu' over Moreheact, the ILnk candidate loi Lieutenant Governor, has left no doubi with the friends of M Clay, as to the voe of this State in November next. But a show of zel St confidence is to be kept up in Kentucky, with a view to de lude his friends in other parts of the Un ion, and urge them on in the hopeless contest in which they are f n.;agcd. Darkness and shadows ba-ig upon Mr Clay's prospects in every qoa- er ol the Union. The grtat day of accurts" is at hand, when one butst ot 'jopulrfr indig n.tionthroughoutihe repubMc. will coe his political lifewhen amid the curstof his betraved country, he will, in his degradation, make some atonement tor .i. .. n r , on a a i. -. .u . tticllaca!n ot t r4, ana lor tnc countMess acts of subsequent prefl-gacy tor i whlch he has been distinguished.
