Monday next is the day on which the freemen of the state have to exercise the dearest right guaranteed by the Constitution, that is the right of suffrage. In the exercise of this great privilege, every citizen's mind should be a kingdom of his own, unbiassed by any extraneous force of party sympathy or personal antipathy, V'it from mature deliberation and an enlightened judgment, to select officers of capacity and integrity. Ccmminicated. TO THE PEOt'LE. When Mauk's bill to limit the stay of execution to CO days, on all con ttacts entered into after the 15th day of June, parsed the House of Representatives, the Aye3 and Noes were called for, and the Harrison county members voted tor it, though there were twelve or tourteen members voted against it But when the same bill came down from the Senate amended with what is commonly culled the g 100 law, the house of Representatives concurred therein without an objection No one, not even thf ejcfierin:ccd, noise, virtuous and hottest Denies Pennington was sufficiently opposed thereto, es to call lor the Ayes and Noes, that it might be seen what were the feelings of members on this question Thinks I to myself, there are too many men in the L-gislaturr, who cannot pay their just debuj and re pie vin laws, stay laws, hundred dollar laws and the like must remain a curse upon the state, while such men arcelected our representatives.

The National Intelligencer announces tha John M'Clean, late Commissioner of the General Latv.l Office, has received the Sppointrnent of Postmaster General; and that Ghorqe Graham, has been appointed Commissioner of the General Lrnd Office in his place. Sciota Gaz llobbery of the Eastern Mail, The following Letter to the Postmaster General reached this city by Express at 5 o'clock last evening; Baltimore Post OJfice, ? 9 o'clock a M thyJuly 1823 J Hon. John M'Leak, Postmaster Gen. Dear Sir: I regret to have again to announce the robbery, by force of firms, of the Eastern Mail, coming to this city from Philadelphia. It happened between one and two o'clock this morning, about two miles beyond the Gunpowder Falls, and was perpetrated by at least four armed ruffians. The Guard of the Mail, who was well armed, appears to have defended it bravely, and, according to his, the only account I have yet received, it was not surrendered until he had discharged his blunderbuss and pistols, and was overcome by superior numbers, and great violence to his person. The Driver, in the confusion, escaped unhurt; and the mail for this city, and for distribution here, was not touched. The bag containing the mail for Washington, and all South of this, was cut open; but I do not delay it, to ascertain the extent of depredations upon it, as the stage is ready to take it on. The neighboring country is alar-

med, and scouring the vicinity in pursuit of the robbers. Mr Stokes left here as soon as there was reason to apprehend that the mail had been attacked; and, from him we shall soon hear further particulars. In the mean time you shall feel assured, that every thing that can, will be done, to arrest these desperate villians Traces of much blood on the ground, indicate that some of the party were deeply, if not mortally wounded. Respectfully, your obedient servant, J. S. SKINNER. From the contents of this letter there is every reason to believe that tne certainty of detection which has hitherto attended the attempt to rob the mail, will attend this last most desperate attempt. The driver, who escaped, came here with the Express; and the rifled bap:, slit from one end to the other, has also arrived, with its contents. From the examination of the mails, there is ground to hope, that the alarm to the robbers came so quickly on them, that they had not time to take any thing of value from the Mail The driver says, from the quantity of blood found in the spot where the guard fired at the first assailant, there is reason to believe he was dang rousiy wounded. The robbers, having got possession of the mail, spoke of making their way to the beat; so that they intended by the . water to evade pursuit. SECOND EXPRESS An hour after receiving the foregoing intelligence, the following letter was received, which affoids the information anticipated a;)ove, that the robbers are detected and apprehended: Baltimore July 8 3 I 2 o'cCk. To the Postmaster Gen. Washington City. Dear Sir: We are happy to inform you, that ture of the Mail Robbers have been apprehended by Mr. Stokes and his party, a few miles from the spot of the robbery. Two of them are severely wounded; the fourth, (if a fourtn,) has not been heard of. The Guard has defended the Mail bravely. Very respectfully, Sec. STOCKTON & STOKES Per L. W Stockton. We understand, from the last Express, that the robbers are supposed to have been workmen employed at the Iron Works in the vicinity of the place where the robbery was attempted A at. Int
