Mcncel, committed suicide at his loJgings,at Mrs. Sistare 's, llroadway, New York, on Thursday. He took refuge in Amct Lea after the subjugation of Poland, having taken at one time, part in the struggle of that unhappy country for liberty. His appearance and person bore all the outward marks of his having belonged to what in Furopc is called the better class of society; and several pieces of manuscript were found in his room, which showed that he was a man of more th. rr.i dioary talent, and well versed in the modern literature ol l.urope e. In the month of April s frinds in Ltirope informlast lie wrote to hi ing them that when they received his letters

he should be no more. Almost all the pieces of manuscript found in his room, treated of the same subjects, namely, the nothingness and bitterness of lite. the means of escaping its evils bv suicide, and scofling at the terrors of eternity. Among his papers was the following: "Having noticed that the coroners juryvery often find a verdict of insanity against a man less strongly attached to a wretched life than in their opinion he ought to have been, I, unable to write like Moses and some others after death, intend to be before hand with those gentlemen, declaring them first rate fools if they should pronouce me mad but my precaution is perhaps superfluous; they w ill not insult an unknown, solitaty stranger in the manner their kindness reserves for frie nds only. Resides, the real w 01 th of a

jury's verdict; even in a capital case, the recent villainous acquittal ot a two ioia muiderer has very clearly shown.1' On another piece of paper was written the following epitaph which we believe is not original: Here lies one who always doubted. God he considered a problem. He doubted even of his existence. In fine wearied of this profound night, he departed at this happy season, to ascertain in the other w orld, w hat it is that he should believe in this. There was also found the following note directed to the keeper of the boarding house: "I desire Mrs. Sistare to keep all my property as a small indemnification for the trouble occasioned to her house bv mv manner of . lea ing it."' Thursday evening, about tea-time, one of the servants went up to his room, which was locked inside, and the key out of the door, which enabled him to see into the room and perceive that the deceased was sitting motionless and apparently dead in a chair. The door was then broken open and it was found that he had shot himself through the heart with a pistol. Although the deceased left a gold watch, and other properly sufficient to defrav the expense of a decent funeral, hi body was conveyed to the almshouse, and A. K. ...Is-..! i.niinnp lk Prtf TorsField. Rem. Estate. During the present weekfifty acres of land, adjoining the town of Lawrenccbugh, was sold for the handsome sum of Mtirty thousand dollars. Some of the same land was bought a few months ago, we arttold, for about cue hundred dollars per acre. On Thursday, we saw a farm of tw o hundred acres lying below Tanner's Creek, about a mile distant from Lawrcnceburgh, sold, at public vendue, for fifteen thousand dollars. High as those prices arc, we believe the purchasers have made better speculations, than the sellers. The owners of real estate in this town and surrounding country, arc indebted for this vast increase in the value of their properly to the exertions that have been made in the cause of Internal Improvements. Had we slumbered with folded arms, had we listened to the suggestions that we were fifty years loo youngs to think of Improvement and had the rest ol the state been guided by the same views, where would be the bright prospects that are now opening before us?

Harrison w as in earl v life a valued friend of Jefferson, had the confidcnce'of that venerated chief of the Democratic party, and held an office under him. an lluren never suppor ted Jefferson. Who is the better Republi can ? Harrison supported (he patriotic Madison, the. Democratic candidate for the Presidency Van Bureu sustained the Federal candidate in opposition to Madison. Who is the better Democrat?. Harrison was in favor of the late glorious war, in wlrch Jackson and himself filled the nieasure of their country's glory. Van lluren was opposed to it. Who is the better Patriot? Harrison was placed at the head ofour ar mics marched into the wilderness strug gled for years amid every privation, and drove back and defeated the English and Indians covering himself and his country w ith imper ishable glory. an lluren was nil this time 'toasting his shines' at home, and plotting agaiast the administration that conducted Ihe war. Who is the better Friend of his Country. Harrison went as Minister to Colombia, and when Bolivar proposed to assume the crown, Harrison, like a true republican, protested against the act, and told him the true glory of a patriot was, to maintain and defend, not destroy, the rights of a free people. Van lluren was Minister to England, where he fThltcred among the Lords and Dukes, flittering them and discrediting his own coun try. Who is tiie truest l recman? Harrison, though placed in posts w here he might have made millions, refused lo become rich on the money of the people. Van lluren used his official trust for speculating. Harrison is now- a w hite headed patriot, who works for a living. Van lluren is .1 rich demagogue and rides like a lord, in his carriage and four. Who is the man of the people? Harrison is taken up by the people. Van buren is supported by the officeholders. Who will be elected ? The pure and patriotic Hauriso.v the Hero and Statesman the true American, and honest man. Philadelphia Democrat. ANECDOTE OF HARRISON. Some editors, w hether from policy or conviction '-give out in speeches'' that General Harrison will easily be beaten. We tell them nay; he is a formidable competitor, and if beaten it w ill be bv the hardest. Our rea-

son for saving so is. that he is most beloved by those 'who know him best. We have

seen the eves ol tiie soioiers, wiio served under him during the late w ar, beam and sparkle with pleasure, w hen talking of Gen. Harrison and the hardships of the North-w estern Army. The editor of this paper had two brothers, who served under him in the Northwest, during the gloomiest period of the late w ar. Poor fellow s! they have both been laid for many years, to sleep in the narrow house. One of the in used often to tell an anecdote, which is fully characteristic of Harrison. A fatigue party under the direction of a subaltern were building a block house, a large log, which they had shoved up the skids a considerable distance, proved too heavy for them; it began to oughtweigh them, anil with the utmost exertions, there w ere some indications that it would return upon their heads. The subaltern stood cursing them, "to lift harder" a thing not easily done in such a case. In this conjuncture Harrison happened to pass by, and seeing the critical situation of the men w ithout uttering a word, seized the muddy fork and assisted to raise the log to its place, w hich by his additional strength was barely accomplished. He then turned to the subaltern and administered the following mild reproof: "You, sir, had better laid hold and assisted the men, than have stood cursing them." So saying he left the ground. Monroe Patriot. Suicide. A most dittrefsinpr caaeof suicide, was perpetrated on friday of hist we.d;, in the north part of tins county, in the neighborhood of l.eq. Jewetts. Henry Dogged, who has resided there for some time past, put a period lo his mortal existence, cutting bis throat, from ear to ear, with a sharp razor. Ho had manifested some disposition some days previous to commit the act. Ontheday ofhisdcatl he had arranged Ids papers, threw away the use less ones, S c. carefully sharpened his razor, bid farewell with his children, walked out to the end of t ho house, and there ended his life, with two strokes of the razor. This is one other instance of the awful etrects of intemperance. (Jreetisburg- Ilefiository. Ohio. Politics run hih just now in the Young Hercules of the est. 1 lie friends of lien.

McLene, Thomson, and Hamer by their opponents. JVcic Yorker. North Carolina. The Annual Election in this State will take place on the second Thursday in August. Great interest in the result, as it will probably determine the vote of the State in the ensuing Presidential Election. The Governor will now for the first time be chosen by the people, and each parly has brought forward its strong man for the occasion the friemls of Mr. Van Buren have a slight advantage in the fact that their candidate a gentleman not otherwise than politically exceptionable is the present Governor, and has held the station but a single year. The White candidate, 011 the other hand, is one of the most active and best known men in the State, and particularly identified with the cause of Internal Improvement. We look for a close as well as spirited contest. The candidates of each party for Electors of President and Vice President have been nominated bv Con ventions in the several Congressional Districts.

Henry Spohn, of New Orleans, one of the number who es caped during the massacre of Col. Farming's armv. The Diario del Goberno, of the 2Cth June, contains an official despatch from Gen. Feliola, detailing the proceedings of the ivlexi can army in Texas, until Santa Anna's cap ture, the subsequent proceedings under the convention for the evacuation of Texas, con cluded between Kanta Anna and President Burnet, the adhesion, civen by Filisola to this conv ention, and an account of his retreat from the positions he occupied in compliance with these articles. The documents are very long. Under date" of the 25th June the Mexican Secretary at War writes to Gen. Filisola, that he had communicated his despatches to the President of Mexico ad interim, and that their contents had excited his profound indignation. That he would be called before a. Court Martial to account for not having re-'

mained in positions which he had been or-j ! dcred to retain at eve ry hazard, and for hav-;

That be expressly disapproves, as an attack on the rights of the nation, the title of republic, given to an insurgent department of Mexico, and that of President, to the chief of the insusients. In conclusion, the Secretary orders General Fihsola to surrender the command to Gen. Jose Urrea, and to repair to the city of Mexico, there to answer for his conduct. There does not appear as yet to have been any serious disturbance in any part of the Mexican Republic; though from various editorial remarks, the public mind is very unsettled. A. Y.

Presidential Elcctio?i for One term. Let it not be forgotten, that William IIknry Harrison stands openly pledged to the country, that, if he should become the choice of the people for President, he will not suffer his name to be used as a candidate for re-election, i and will, tender no circumstances, consent to serve but one tkkm. Gen. Jackson made a similar pledge, in purport, though not in as positive language. And I have not the least doubt that the (Jiu Chief was sincere in his promise, and determined to fulfil it. I conversed with him, in June, 1830, and, at that time, he spoke freely of j his wish and expectation to retire at the expiration oi his four years, in accordance icith his avo'u-ed doctrines. But the deceitful little New Yorker got round the old patriot, and. in the same spint in which the Serpent told our first parents, "thou shall not surely die'' he assured the General he was under no Lon stitutional obligations to refuse a second nom ination and that, to save appearances in a moral point of view, he should not become a candidate ostensibly but just keep still, and let his friends at a distance call on him and then he could repeat his old maxim "never to seek office nor refuse it. 1 he Old Roman lost his firmness.

The election in this State, which commenced on Monday t he 5th inst, and closed on the 8th, appears to have been conducted with little reference to National poli; ies, and to have excited little interest of any sort. No opposition was made to the return of Hon. He.nrv Johnson, (Whig) Member of Congress from the First (NewOrleans) District, and it is understood that Hon. Rich Garland (Whig) of the Third was equally fortunate. In the Second District, Gen. E. W. Ripley (Adm.) is opposed by Gen. Philemon Thomas, (Whig.) but it is piesuined that he has been elected. If so, the delejratin will stand precisely as heretofore. We can form no idea as yet of the political complexion of the new Legislature, which is to elect a successor to senator Potter. Of the seven Repre sentatives elected from New Orleans, each party claims a majority. Neither, however had made any distinct nominations, and a great many candidates were voted for on local rather than political grounds. The city gave 703 votes for Mr. Johnson as 3Iember of Congress, and none against him. Aew I"orAr. Judicial clearness and precision.
