For the Wing and Intelligencer.

MR.. EDITOR:
The last Advocate contains a commu.
.ncation over the signature of ''Junius,"
which beg leave to notice in about a
dozen lines. Junius sets out by asking
permission to use your neighbours paper
to ''cxpose- to community the designs and
.intrgues Of the Federal Caucus, held at
Vandalia during the sitting of the Su-
preme Court &c; yet from his whole
piece, which nave had the patience to
read, it is not discoverable what caucus he
means, who composed it, or that any such
meeting had been held at all. SIT is fact"
says Junius. which has been demonstrated
10y experience. that the condition upon
which the people hold their liberties, &c.
&c. is state of perpetual vigilance and
zratchtutnesS. 1T is q fact, too, demon
strated with equal clearness by reading
Junius' piece. that the writer is more aux
ious to appear IMPRINT, than to enlighten
the people, or con6ne himself to truth;
and it is a fact, too. made equally plain by
the same process, that there is just as
much difference between Junius' piece
and nonsense, as between vigilance and
watcbfulness." Junius either could not
have attended the Supreme Court, or
could not have been very Digitant while
there; else he would not have assumed
so thankless and ridiculous an office, as
that OF attempting to expose the designs
and intrigues OF junto that has in reality
no existence. AS it is, the verbose lucu-
brations OF the writer appear more like
the wandering imaglnations OF a bachanal
in his sleep, than the speculations of sober
sense.
Butlam transcending my limits. will
notice one more of his absurdities and quit.
To the question, "Who controls the pre-.
sent Governor of Illinois?" he answers,
''Not the democracy, nor any principles
with it, but that drilled minor
lty which marched in solid column at the
election to his support" Here is some
thing new. When Gov. Reynolds was
elected there were but two candidates.
A minority marched in solid column to
his support, and elected him; ana since
the election Gov. r. has been true to his
principles and his friends; for the same
drilled minority that elected him, control
him still. May all our Governors be as
truly democratic and republican in char
acter.
OEWill Junius be good enough to fol-
low the very salutary advice of his friend,
the Advocate, and give the public his
and proofs"
CAMILLUS.

in our paper to-day, the proceedings Of pub
lie meeting held at Cincinnati, Dec. IA,
the hon. j. NJ Mclean of Ohio,
a candidate for next President The meet
ing was composed principally of Jackson
men, and "one of the largest political assem-
bles,'' says the Gazette, from which we cop
y, shat we have ever seen in this city The
continues the Gazette, "was in all
highly futterIng TO the cause of the
citizen, it was called to espouse".-
Similar meetings have been held at Lebanon, and
several other places in the state, all having the
same object.
The election of Samuel Mexican to the Office
of u S. Senator by vote of 10 to Sc, in the legis
ature of Pennsyl is another way ma rk look
ing in the same direction. The Democracy of H.
linois should have an eye on these things.

CUMBERLAND RoAD.--A meeting was
held last Friday, at R. X. McLaughin's
Hotel, for the purpose of giving public
expression to the sentiments of this com
munity in relation to the Cumberland
Road. The proceedings will be found in
this paper. The meeting was well at
tended; though the notice was short, the
punctuality and number of the gentlemen
composing it, evlnced much anxiety il
the subject before them. But one senti-
ment prevailed; the same sentiment, we
believe is common to the whole of this
community and that is, that the road be
located from this place TO the river, what.
ever route may be decided on, and its
construction commenced. without further
delay. That measure is due TO the citi-
zens of Illinois. Contemplated improve
ments which would prove Of great utility
to the country in macy respects are held
in suspense, while the location Of the road
is delayed. The reason is too obvious to
require specification. Besides, it would
seem that all information necessary to a
proper decision, az well as the arguments
of the advocates the different routes,
are already before the people and before
congress, SO that nothing is to be gained
by further delay.
Would it not be advisable to hold sim
liar meetings in the counties between this
place and the Mississippi, through which
the road is 10 pass?

DEAF AND DuDB.-The late Mrs. Jane w. of Scottish memory, was equally re- marlxable for kindness of heart and an ab- sence of mind. One day she was accost- ed by beggar, whose stout and healthy ap- pearance started even her into momen- tary doubt of the needfulness of charity in this instance. sWhy," exclaimed the good old lady, "you look well able to work" :. Yes" replied tho suppiicant, :" but I have been deaf and dumb these seven years.'' "poor man, what heavy affiicton!" exclaimed Mrs. ". at the same time giving him relief with liberal hand. On her return home she mentioned the fact, remarking, "What dreadful thing 1t was to be so deprived of such precious facultes.n But how,n asked her sister, ssdid you know that the poor man hae been diaeas. diaeasf. and dumb for seven years 7" why" was the quiet and unconscious answer, "he told me so Ld.

 Seat of Justice of Washington County. YEyHE Commissioners for the county Of
 N Washington, wilt offer the L0fS in the Town of FAYETTEVILLE, for sale at Public Auction, tthe Court house door in that Town, commencing OF .lfondag, the etjat day of December He1t, and continuing from day to day until the same are sold.
 Terms of Sale.-An advance of ten per cent. on the amount of purchase will be required to be paid down the balance in three equal instalments, payable at six, twelve, and eighteen months the purcha- ser giving bond with approved security. 4 failure to pay up the instalments prompt ly when they fall due, to annul the pur- payments be may have previously made.
 The quarter section of land on which the Town of Fayetteville is situate, was donated by Congress to the Commissioners of the county of Washington, in trust for the use and benefit of said county, and is mostly of excellent soil The lots are well laid out both for fancy and conyen- fence. The Town is admirably situate, on a beautiful eminence, near the centre of the county, on tine dividing land be- tween the waters of Illinois and White rivers, and is well supplied with springs of the purest water-s61ne running into White, and others into Illinois river
 The adjacent country presents pleasing prospect to the spectator. Ou the south and east, the blnes hills and mountains, with intervening prairies, present theml selves as far as the eye can reach and on the southwest, there IS much prairie land i, ofexcellent quality. Itseems that nature Is entirely reversed in this pal rt Of the Ter ritory, the Town site forming the dividing land between water courses. The hills and highest mountains afford level land Of excellent soil, in sufficient bodies for good farms and well watered with never failing springs. The growth of the adja- cent forests is, lak hickory, ash, mulberry, walnut, cherry. black locust. paw paw, spice-wood, and the largest and most de- lieious grape in the world. 1t is likewise situate about five miles west of the three forks of White river, the head of naviga- ton for keel and flat boats.
 From the natural location of this Town ia tsse centre of tho county, surround ed with a rich, fertile and healthy country, already denseiy populated, and well sup [ piled with nevef-failing springs of the best water, 1t doubtless bids fair to become one of the most fourshing inland towns west of the Mississippi. Gentlemen wish ing to avail themselves of an opportunity Iof making good purchases, will do well 1 to attend.

 The Ration as above named, must con- sist of one pound of fresh Beef, three- fourths of quart of Corn, and al the rate of four quarts of Salt to every one hundred Rations The Beef. Corn, and Salt, com prising the Ration, must be of good quality and delivered in good order.
 The quality, as well as the weight of the Beef, and the measure of the Corn and Salt, will be inspected by an Agent of the government at the time of delivery; and that proposals may not be made under wrong impressions, 1t is here made known that the Corn and Salt must be delivered by measure, and at the rate of thirty-two quarts to the bushel dry measure.
 All risk, and every expense attending the delivery and distribution of the rations, must be borne b. the Contractor.
 Issues of the meat part of the Ration nav be varied from time to time, so as to make deliveries of one pound of fresh, or three. fourths of pound of salted Pork or Bacon, instead of Beet; and one pound of Wheat Flour, instead of Corn. So, also, may portion of the Meat part of the Ra- tion be delivered in Cattle and Hogs, npon estimates, on the hoof provided such shall be acceptable to the Indians; but Tn no ease must such changes of issses increase the cost of the Ration as above designated, and to which bidders are referred for cal eniating the price at which they will fur nish the Ration for.
 The delivery ofCattle and Hogs, on foot, as above noted, may be made for one or two months at time, should the same be deemed expedient by the receiving Agent. So. also, may the other part of the Ration, Corn and Salt, be delivered for periods corresponding thereto.
