But I should be unwilling that any systcm of internal improvement should he pursued by the general government that would operate to the manifest injury of the pcopic of the west, either by an opprcr.-

"j ?ive land system, or taritT taxes. Should

I be elevated to serve you as a member of

congress, I could not consent that any measures should be. adopted to swell the coffers of the United States, with a fund t be disbursed in works of internal improvements, so long as congress shows so strong a disposition to tax us with ten dollars for every one they are wilting to give us in return, to improve the country. I am also unwilling that the general government should collect a fund in this way for works of internal improvement, by taxing us in every shape, while they seem disposed to spend at least one half of such fund in legislating how, and where the other half shall be applied. But, believiug as I do, that the general government is largely indebted for moneys illiberally extorted from us, I would be ardently engaged, (were I in congress.) in trying to obtain fa ads to improve our roads, water courses, or other public improvements. Indiana is now, and iris been severely oppressed by the operations of our land laws, so

I have presumed thus to submit my claims to you, with my principles and politics, knowing tint whatever may be the issue on the first Monday in August next, it will be the voice of independent freemen conscientiously expressed. IIavin;r enjoyed too confidence of my fellow-citizens in my immediate t.ciuhbor-

hood, and having other manifestations of public confidence, as well from the legisla

ture of this state as tue executive ot the United Slates, and having been urged by friends in various parts of the district, from these considerations my name is before you. With this brief and plain statement of my views on several subjects, I hope it

will be distinctly understood that, should 1 have the honor to be your repreprcntative in the next congress, your will, fellow-citizens, shall be the paramount rule of my conduct. In as much as 1 have been raised and educated, in the Old Republican Principle, I firmly believe in the doctrine that a rcprcscnative is bound to do the will of his constituents, no matter by what means he may possess that information.

THE CAPE DE VERD5. We have been favcrcd wi:h the fol

lowing letter from a clergyman, who went passenger in one of the vessels sent from this port, by the liberality of our citizens, with provisions for the relief ot the Cape dc Verd sufferers. 1 he des cription it gives of the distress and mortality which the famine in .those islands had occasioned, and :hc frantic joy which the stat vine; inhabitants hailed the arrival of these unexpected succors, will be read with thrilling interest. Surely no man of common sensibility, after pern

tng this letter, can regret the humble

its substantial features Bonausta and Mayo have suffered less than the other islands, which has prevented us from being eyewitnesses of ?uch heart sickening scenes of wretchedness, as hate been witnessed by o'hers. Captain H. assured me that he felt amply compensated fcr all the expense which he had incurred in coming out gratuitously to be almoner of the charity of Americans to those distant and desolate islands, in the consciousnes of the real beneGt which had been conferred. Our own country has not only been first, but alcne, in this work oT substantial sympathy and charity Not a farthing has been sent by the people of any other nation, ts charity, w hich speaks volumes in faor of our citizens Even the Portuguese nation has left these poor creatures to starve by thousand"., when the king derives not a little of his wealth from their toils and sufferings.
