SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1827. 1 The Legislature of this state convenes

at Indianapolis on Monday next. The Congress of the United States commences its session on the same day. The number of long political articles ivhich have been presented to our viewas proper for publication, has almost engrossed the whole of our columns for some time past, to the exclusion of a great deal of matter interesting to the general reader. In to-day's paper we give the last, we hope, until after the adjournment of the legislature, when we shall have a little more room to spare. Were all our readers politicians, we should not find it necessary to make any mention of these things; but as they are not, we must try to select fabrics fashioned to their liking. This is our business, and we ought not to be negligent in it, lest they should neglect us. To-day we present our readers with the speech of Gen. Harrison, delivered before a public meeting m Cincinnati in September last. As originally published in Cincinnati, a number of typographical and other errors? occurred in it, materially altering the sense.which have been carefully examined and corrected in the copy furnished us, by the General himself. We know that many are constitutionally opposed to reading long articles of this kind, even though the sentiments advanced should be in unison with their own; in the present instance we hope for more industry. We are aulhorizi-d to announce John II. Thompson Esq. of Clark county, a candidate for Governor at the next August election.

'ano questioned me, and it was not my

wish or intention to criminate any one but myself. For that reason, I have answered the questions, some correctly and some I have not. You dispute the truth of my assertions in respect to the horrid deed I have committed. I wish to be punished by the laws of God and my country, which I have broken, and atone for the crime I have done. I am not alone in the horrid transaction. The sting of a guilty conscience, a hand stain-

ted with the innocent blood of one that I

saw only once, has stared me in the face

The general election for members of

the legislature was held in New York last week, and in most cases turned upon preferences for the presidency of the United States. In the city of New York about 21,000 votes were taken, 8,000 morn than at any former election, and the "Jackson ticket" had an average majoritv of 4,905 votes. The returns from the different counties are not yet received. The friends of general Jackson calculate upon at least two thirds of the members of the legislature, and, from what is known, will certainly have a large majority ; but in many instances, local matters or "regular nominations" are so mixed with the leading question, that no other than som act in the legislature itself will decide the character of a number of its members.

HILVS CONFESSION.

The following (says the Muff do Journal of

toe 2Sd inst.) is the 'confession of trie person now in our jail for fhe murder of Morgan. It

is proper that the public should be informed of

all the different stories in circulation, aod all the facts, which is our apology for publishing tbis document. The account which Hill

gives of hiuisHf 19 contradictory; md tbe details

of the murder are inconsistent with the ap

pearance of the body found at the mouth of

Oak Orchard Creek. Hill his and in convr

sation with gentlemen on the subject, that he

one of us should be arrested, suffer the

penalty of the law in silence. Such is my situation, and for pity's sake spare me the tho't of breaking the oath at present. 1 wish not to be examined any more, until it is at a higher court, where I shall plead guilty, and shall expect to die the

ignominious death of the gallows for my

deeds, and may the Lord have mercy on

my soul. Suc h will be m dying words

farewell. The orosDect that is before

me is dark and gloomy, when I consider how short is the time and I be summoned to. the tribunal of a just and an angry

FROM THE RICHMOND WHIG. TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA. No. III. CONCLUDED. I now proceed to the other promised topic that Mr. Adams owed his election to bargain and management. The wickedness in which this slander originated, and the credulity with which it has been received, have their parallel only in the famous plot of Titus Oates. Invented by knaves to be current only a-

mong fools, it has been so often repeated,

though w ithout a tittle of evidence, that it has not only taken in many of the latter but has deceived some of the best

meaning men of the times

PORTLAND, Nov. 9. Snow Storm. On Wednesday I - , we were visited, for the first time this season, and rather prematurely, with a severe snow 6torm. It commenced in the morning and continued thro' the day, with a strong easterly wind, li was as severe and tedious as our winter snow storms usually are. A the snow was light, and there was a strong wind,

the depth cannot be correctly ascertained, but it must have been several inches. Towards evening the citizens of this town were regaled by the brisk ginglh'g of sleigh bells. DUNSTABLE, N. H. Nov. 10. Amt violent SNOW STORM commenced here on Thursday evening last, which continued with unabated fury for twenty-four hours. An unusual quantity of snow has fallen for this season of the year. It is supposed to be between one and two feet deep. It is many years since much snow has fallen at this season.

I, R. H. Hill, of said county, did, on Tuesday last, of my own free and voluntary will, come forward and confess the

crime of murdering a man that I supposed by information was William Morgan. On examination, I plead guilty. I was examined before Esq. Case and Bmns, and by them taken to this place on Monday following, and a cross examination took place, and I was committed to the goal of said county for further examina

tion. Several gentlemen haVe called

the cold spf culator on its never ceasing

changes, but the master spirit guiding and directing it shall he be thus readily supposed guilty of a low and dirty intrigue for a subordinate fiice? Standing high on the pinnacle of fame, is it probable, my fellow citizens, that he would descend thus low? But why need

I refer now to the unreasonableness of litis foul charge? His own masterly view of the accusation, its circumstances, and its authors, has prostrated all in the dust. Virginians, you are too generous and juM

to unite in a malignant persecution (,f

one of ourselves. He is a Virginian.

We have abundant reason to be proud

of such a brother. It is not our habit to act the step-mother. It' heretofore you have listened to the false and malignant calumnies, so often and so boldly repeated as to be some excuse for your credulity, now at last, when convinced of hi innocence, do him justice. You must rejoice with all good men, that this great

advocate of human rights, after passing

the fiery ordeal, shines with undiminish

ed lustre; and cannot but take pleasure

in doing him and yourselves justice, by defending, rather than accusing him.

ihe innocence of Mr. Clay is established, it follows of course that the objection to Mr. Adam?, on account of any supposed bargain, falls to the ground.

The Postmaster Gtneral To no individual in t lie United Mates is the public eo much indebted for the conveniences of travelling, and

f acilities of communication by letter, as to tbe present Postmaster General The office he

(fills, is one that has hitherto produced a lull

share of abuse to the several persons exercising

be a pleasing r flection, to know that he has, thus far, caused a general satisfaction, from tbe correct administration of the department over which he presides. Without imputing other than correct motives to those who preceded Mr M'Lean in office, we hesitate not to say, that the presen' policy of the postmaster general, is more calculated to promote public good.
