LAWRENCEBURGH. Owir.g to he carelessntss of our "devil," (who by th by hfcs some claims to the ap palta'ion,) the outside dete of this paper is put on the 1 lib instead of the 10 'h diy. 07" We have been quested to announce SAMUEL MORRISON, of ibis place, as a candidate tr the cflice of countj Clerk at the nex' election. Mr. Chilton. The New York Courier and Enquirer, in a short article, literally "uses up," this personage, eo as to leave him the mere skeleton of what a man should be. We apprehend he will soon appear to his new allies like Hamlet' ghost, causing their ;bair to sta-d on end like quills upon the fretful porcupine' Arithmetic. We have received thro' the post office, with the respects of the author, the first part of "Emerson's JVorth American Arithmetic" comprising in a number of elementary lessons, the first course of exercises in arithmetic, adapted by familiar examples and illustrations to the capacities of children. From a cursory examination we have formed a favourable opinion of the author's plan of instruction; and would be pleased to see it tested by some of our teachers. "The Ladies Museum." We have neglected to notice this paper since its resuscitation. Owing to the destruction of the printing materials, in the great fire which occurred in Cincinnati

some time since, the publication of egterujiu

Museum was for a seaso:; suspended; re cently if re-appeared in a nev and elegant drfcss,entirely underthe supervision of Mr. J. T. Case, a gentleman highly spo!en of for qualification- and literary attainments. The Museum is issued semi-monthly from Cincinnati, on me ium quarto, a the rate of 1 25 per annum, in advance. 'At a more convenient time, we m y give the editor's prospectus a place in our columns. Corporation election. The following named persons were elected on Mnoday evening last officers of the corporation of Lawrence burgh: President John M'Mike. Select Council D -viij Guard, George Tousey, Jmes M. Dirrah, Isaac ProtzCian, anil David V. Cul'.- y. The President and Council, at their first meeting, after bei,g duly qualified as required by law, appointed Dr. M. E. Ferris Rcordvr, and Wm. Whipple Marshal. The Treasurer remaining in staluquo. An unprofitable war of words is progressing between the editors of the New York Courier end U. S. Telegraph, in relation to the next presidency, in which the relative claims of the vice president and secretary of state, to that distinguished station, are directly alluded to. We consider these discussions as ill advised find premature at (his time, and as only tending to sow dissentioo9 in the republican ranks It will be lioue enough several years hence to examine the claims of these gentlemen, when Gen Jackson shall have been re-elected and beneficially served his country another term. The Courier, however, has declared in the plainest terms that Mr. Van Buren is not a candidate, and formally announces Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee, as a candidateor re elcction to the office of president of the United States We hope to see the same judicious course pur sued by the editor of the Telegraph, roaure bis objections, that it would give the oppon ems of the president an opportunity to charge him with using the patronage of the govern ttpnt to secure bis re-election. The Oppo gition will find fault any how, and they might as well have that to talk of as any thing else. The last Indianapolis mail brought us the first No. of the "lndana Democrat and State Gazette" a handsome imperial sheet, issued from the scat of govern ment by Messrs. Morrison and Knxard. On this occ aio we would congratu late the friend of the administration on so valuable an accession of strenrt!i to thepirty. They have long been sensi ble of the want of a print at the seat of government favourable to the cause; one in which they could place confidence as the steadfast, zealous and efficient advo cate of their principles and opinions. Such a one they now have, and such a one we have reason to believe the Dem ocrat will continue to be. True it is, that we, as well as a large Dortion of the friends of the admirastraion in this part of the state, had serious d.xibt as to the propriety of associating t lie kD smocrat" and "Gazetlf," fearing thereby that extraneous and undue in fluence mifht be expensed ta divert the paper from the legitimate objects of

iis establishment, to unworthy and personal purposes. The known integrity, ability and independence of Mr. Morrison, however, forbid the idea that such will be the case; of which he has given a well timed and unequivocal assurance in the following extract from his address: After the Legislature convened, and

after a general consultation among the friends of the administration fiom the various parts of the state present, it was considered that on the scort of prudence and for the sake of union Sz. efficiency, a junction of the Democrat and Gazette would be advisable, and serve to consolidate the party, if such junction could be effected without any incumbrance to the views of the party, and in such manner as to leave the press free and unshackled by any extraneous influence, and solely devoted to the prosperity of the party and the faithful discharge of its duty to the public. Such an attempt was made by those who had the good of the whole in view, a d by a mutual agreement on the part of myself and Col. Kinnard, the present arrangement was made and preliminaries entered into for the publication of the paper under the title of the "Indiana Democrat and State Gazette," edited by A. F. Morrison and G. L. Kinnard. I should not have been thus prolix on this subject had I not been informed that some persons, (those perhaps who would more willingly injure than support) have industriously circulated the idea that this arrangement was made for the benefit of certain gentlemen at Indianapolis, or to speak in their language, to initiate Gov. Ray into the Jackson family, and to support his claims to preferment. While upon this subject, I will assuie surh as mav wish to know, that Gov. Ray has no more connexion with the establishment than any other citi en of Indiana, and that it is placed beyond his control or the control of any other individual save the editors, and it never can be otherwise, without the voluntary surrender of privileges secured by the articles of Union. The public must for themselves whether I am c imposed of that materal which can be moulded to suitthe schemesor private endso Gov. Ray, r an other gentleman. My e ii;orial career has been before them, let them,if they distrust,examine i. In relation to my future course and principles, my .cts, perhaps will be the best commentary. But as a prelude to further exhibition, permit me to say that I feel di -posed to treat all men according to then deserts; to deal justly and fairly with political opponents; to keep aloof from domestic and neighborhood broils and personal colliio s; ai d at the same time that courtesy is extended to those who hold different opinions, to claim and exercise the right of examining freely, ail political and general subjects with out fear or favour. In conclusion, I have only to say, that if my humble labours shall in any degree be instrumental in strengthening the cause which the Democat and Gazette professes to support, and of en suring unanimity among the friends of republican principles in this state, I shall have obtained a rich reward, and 1 look with confidence for the countenance of the liberal and the good, and especially of my political friends. Respectfully, A. F. MORRISON. From the National Gazette. The following resolutions have passed the House of Assembly of Upper Canada. AGRO SETTLERS." "1. Resolved, That this Ituse hasjust cause of alarm for the peace and security of the inhabitants of the Western parts of this Province, by reason of the rumored intention, on the part of the Canada Company, of introducing large bodies of Negro settlers into this Province. "2. Resolved, That, in affording such encouragement, the Canada Company seem not to have duly reflected on the danger in which it involves the peace and happiness of the people; and that the act of the Imperial Parliament, constituting this Company, marks the sub ject of these resolutions as one of the ma ny evils which must result from Legislation by the Imperial Parliament in matters of the internal concerns of this Province. "3. Resolved, That no subject calls more seriously for the attention of the Legislature, than the settlement of the country, by all reasonable facility given to strangers to come into this Province and cultivate its wastes. "4. Resolved, That, although this House has long observed, without uneasiness, that fugitive slaves of color do, occasionally, escapeinto this Province ; and, recognizing the law of nature, which says, "that the fugitive shall not be delivered up to his pursuers," this House is still unwilling to shut the door against the outcast ; yet, the sudden introduction of a mass of Black Population, likely to continue without limitation, is a matter so dangerous to the peace and comfort of the inhabitants, that it now becomes necessary to prevent or check, by some prudcut restrictions threatened evil.

Resolved, That, inasmuch as such a population sometimes surpassing, and at others approaching an equality with the whites, in several States of this Continent, has proved, iu various ways, highly inconvenient and dangerous to those States, it is too certain that the like disasters must flow from the same cause in this Province, if such projects be permitted to be effected. "6. Resolved, That the Committee to whom was referred the petition of the inhabitants ofGosfield and Colchester, do bring in a bill, if it be practicable, during this session to prevent the introduction of Blacks and Mulattocs into this Province, as settlers participating in all the civil rights of the people of this Province. "7. Resolved, That an humble address be presented to His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, requesting him to forward with as little delay as possible, these resolutions, to His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, to be by him, with His Majesty's gracious permission, laid before the Imperial House of Commons; and further requesting His Excellency to discourage, as far as may be within his power, the introduction of such population, until the Legislature of the Province may be enabled to mature some safe enactment on the subject."

"Jveze moreen the political chessboard." Such is the caption with which the B iltimore Patriot introduces the follow-! ing i xtract from a letter published in the United S'ates Gazette, under date of I2ih March. "Reports are in circulation which have iurned the current of speculation a? to one of the persons who it is supposed, will be a candidate for the Piesidency at the coming election; Ii is said, that there has been recently a renewal of the intercourse between Mr. Calhoun and Judge McLean, which had been for some time previous, interrupted by circumstances which are known to every accurate observer of political events. During this intercourse,it is stated, that all 'he discordant views which had so b)ig separated these gentlemen, have been discussed and reconciled, and that a compact has been formed between them, which will ensure an union of their views and interests, and also a unity of actioi , in the coming campaign. I give you this as a rumor which is very current in ur first political circles, and is one, which receives credit wherever it is named. At present, I refrain from comment orspeculation." Our readers will remember that we, on Tuesday, quoted a paragraph from the Massachusetts Journal, in which Mr. Webster's "friend in the gallery" clnsn d Mr. McLane with Mr. Van Buren and Mr. Calhoun, and declared that thet4Na tional Republic ans" had men of their own. When it is made known that the Washington correspondent of the United States Gazette is Mr. Webster's Washington pander, subservient to all his views, those extracts furnish a key to Mr. Webster's movements. If Mr. Clay is elected by the aid of Mr. Webster, then Mr. Webster is second in command. Ii Mr. Clay is not elected, then Mr. Webster will fall heir to Mr. Clay's influence, and be the imperial Dictator for the "Nati nal Consolidation" forces. Hence it is no longer Mr. Webster's interest to pay court to Air. McLean hence all the praises which Mr. Barton was required to pour out on Mr. M Lean's head is now to ho taken back, and he i3 to be denounced as a deserter from a party to which he never belonged. Mr. McLean and Mr. Calhoun never were in discord ; of course they have had nothing to reconcile. They are now, as they have ever been, firm and consistent friends, each thinking and acting for himself; entertaining a high respect for each other, without any understanding or arrangement for the future. U. S. Telegraph. Pjttsburgii, March 29. Fire! On Sunday morning last, about one o'clock, a tmoke house owned by Mr. William Fi zsimons, in the borough of Allegheny, containing about 60,000 Ibe. of bacon was entirely destroyed by fire. Mi . Fiizsimons' loss is estimated at about from 2 to 3,000 dollars. We have not yt learnt how the fire originated. Mercury. A tremendous hurricane spread fury and devastation in Elizabethtown and vicinity, on the 22d instant, about 7 o'clock p. m. The damage occasioned was considerable -in Elizabethtown, fourteen houses, five barns and stables, one boat-house, one mill and "wool carding establishment were blown down and destroyed; besides other houses being more or less injured. The principal injury is sustained by Craighead, Esq. F. C. Flanegan, John Wilson, Esq, and John and Samuel Walker. Beats on the river were lifted up by the tornado, and dashed to pieces against the beach. In the vicinity of Elizabethtown, capt. Thomas Robertson's brick house and ferry hoe,and Hugh Wilsons grist and saw mill, house and barn, were blown to the ground. No lives were lost. Scarcely a house, tree, or fence remains erect iu the range of its violence, which

was about one fourth of a mile wide, and in n direction from west to east. It is supposed to have extended its ravages through the contiguous parts of Washington and Westmorland counties. Democrat.

Post Office Department, March 24, 1830. To the Hon. John C. Calhoun: Sir In obedience to a resolution of the Senate of the United States, passed March 22d, 1830, directing me uto inform the Senate, of the number of Deputy Postmasters, who have been removed since the 4'h day of March last, designating the number in each State and Territor," I have the honor to report, that the whole number of Deputy Postmasters removed between the 4h March, 1829, and tL- 22J March, 1830, inclusive, is four hundred and ninety -one; and that the number thereof in each State and Territory, is as follows: In Maine, 15; New Hampshire, 55; Vermont 22; Mas sachusetts, 28; Rhode Island, 3; Connecticut, 20; New York, 131; New Jersey, 14; Pennsylvania, 35; D-laware, 16; Maryland, 14; District of Columbia, 1 ; Virginia, 8; North Carolina, 4; Georgia, 2; Alabama, 2; Missis ippi, 5; Louisiana, 4; Tennessee, 12; Kentucky, 16: Ohio, 51 ; Indiana, 19; Illinois, 3; Missouri, 7; Florida, 1 ; Arkansas, 2; and Michigan, 1. 1 have the honor to be, With great respect, Your ob't serv't, W. T. BARRY. Jianhazva Burning Springs. The Kanhana burning springsare siiuated about eight miles above Charlestown, on the north bank of the river. They aie three in number: two on the bank and one near the edge of the water. I did not see those on the bank but that near the water is merely an excavation in the earth, of three or four feet in diameter, from various parts of which was discharged an inilamable ga. It was then on fire, and in some parts n-df mblcd the burnii.g ofspirits of wine. The hottom was perfectly dry, and on being stirred with a stick the sand was thrown up by the ascending gas. From the Louisville Advertiser, March 27. Ai attempt was made on the night of the 15h inst. to rob the incennes mail, a short distance above Hindustan, la. The ridr wa9 struck wiih a club the blow ii jured hi fac-, but did not bung him from the horse he was riding. Ii is said there were three fellows in the gaug, and that they succeeded in getting hold of the reins of the drove horse, as well as those of the horse on vrhich the carrier rode, at the same instant. The blow received by the rider frightened both horses, and they broke loose from the ruffians before they could get possession of the mail ox the rider. This is, we believe, the first attempt to rob the mail that was ever made in Indiana. Rewarding Printers. The opposition members of the Senate, in their attempts to justify their vote for giving to Gales and Seaton the printing of the old Documents at double the price for which others were willing to do the same work, acknowledge that it was given for the purpose of putting bread into the mouths of the wives of those men,whofora quarter ofa century have enjoyed the pro its of the public printing. What unblushing effrontery it is, after this, for their friends to complain of the administration rewarding printers, as is continued to be done by the National Journal. They really seem to think the people have neither eyes nor common sense. Del. Gazette. .7 Rumor which we hope is only a rumor, though there is reason to fear it is at least "founded in fact." The Port land Courier says, "A rumor was spread through town, that a fatal rencountre had taken place between American and british subjects on the disputed territo ry in the eastern part of the State. We could not ascertain the origin of the re port, although some particulars were given, such as that the British attacked our lumbermen, took from them their teams, and killed one man, and that our men pursued them, retook the teams, fe killed about a dozen of the British. Serious business if true." Gettysburg, Pa. March 30. FIRES. On Monday night the 22d inst. the bank barn of Mr. George Slagle, of Mountpleasant township, was struck by lightning, and consumed, together with a quantity of hay and grain, a bullock and a calf, fee. There was, also, a road wagon destroyed, in which there was a quantity of flower one account says 17, and another 10, barrels. We have heard that Mr. Slagle was so badly burnt, in endeavoring to save the flour, that he has since been confined to bed. The Merchant and Grist Mill of Mr. Ralph S. Smiley, about two miles from Bloomfield, Perry county, Penn. was destroyed by fire, on Sunday morning the 21st inst. together with about 1500 bushels of rye, corn, fee. and upwards of 80 barrels of flour. Mr. Smiley's loss is estimated at about 2.000 dollars

On the same morning, the Stables o Mr. Peters, near Mount Airy, Philadelphia county, were burnt down, together with a large quantity of grain. Ten horses were burned to death, and two 20 much injured as to be of no value. Repub. Compiler. At the last criminal teim io Montreal, Canada, three persons were sentenced to death, one for stealing a horse, another a cow, and the third a sheep. This is an improvement of the law of an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. In Richmond county, Georgia, a gentleman rcceutly, received a letter enclosing 140 from an unknown correspondent. Tne donor in this letter stated it to be the amount of a debt long due. Murder. William Miller, Jr. Eq. a yourg lawyer, of Philadelphia, was killed in a duel of Sunday the 21st instant, by Lieut. Charles G. Hunter, of the U S Navv. The Washington Banner announce that General Harison, our late Minister to Colombia, is preparing for publication a vindication of himself from the charges preferred against him by that govern ment.
