We have not been able o ascertain the number of inhabitants u 1820. The editors of the Cincinnati American and VVstf rn Statesman, unanimously agre- th : the statement made concerning Mr. CUv, by Henry Was goo, is "a fuost infamous story;" and that he (VV 8n) is"a miserable, worth les fellow." It is very probable that, tviih a m re intimate acquaintance, Mr. Wasson would form a similar opinion of ihe editors of the American aol Statesman. Some satellite of the "Star of the West," writing to the editor of the Louisville. Focus, emits sundry rays of light calculated only to sho a the darkness that dwells in him. Speaking of the elections in Indiana he says, the Clay candidates for representatives have succeeded in JeflVrson, formerly a Strong Jackson county." Now we undertake to say that Jefferson instead of being strong for Jackson, gaVe a majority h gainst dim at the last presidential election. Again, (says this writer) "Mr. Graham (Clay) has been elected to the senate from the d strict composed of Bartholomew Jackson, and Scott, over his opponent, a Jackson man." We don't know what Mr. Sweetser (Mr. Graham's opponent) woulJ now s y to this classification, but feel assured that had it been m-de before the election, he would have considered it as making rather light of his political professions. He has always been considered as friendly to Messrs. Clay and Adams. 'Two lies and one truth" is pretty well. We would direct the attention of the reader to the able and interesting Tr TWnn nn a nrnnn.ifin Speech of Mr. Beuton on a proposition to reduce the duty on salt. He treats the subject with a master hand, and ehows conclusively, that, notwithstanding the duty n salt is regarded as a part of Mr. Clay's 4 American system," it operates oppressively and unjustly upon the people of the West. Speaking of this system, in connexion with the duty on salt, Mr. Benton remarks: "The principles of that system, as 1 understand them, and practise upon them, are to tax through the custom house the foreign rivals of our own essential productions n when by that taxation, an adequate supp y oj the same article, as goody and as j etieap, can be made at home. 1 hese were the principles of the system, Mr. B. said, when he was initialed, and if they had changed since, he had not changed with them, and he apprehended a promulgation of the change would produce a schism among its followers." We should like to know whether Mr. Benton's views of the American system, as expressed above, aceord with those ol the senior editor of the Statesman. His readers ought to know. The Clay editors are a happy set of 'dogs," to borrow a sublime expression from the Statesman. Defeat and conquest are one and the same thing to them. They are crowing and blustering about the elections in Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Louisiana, as if they were really in favor of Mr. Clay ; whereas the reverse of any thing favorable to his prospects may fairly be inferred from the result, particularly in his own state. Instead of having a majority inHhc legislature, as was the case iael year, it is now doubtful whether his friends are not the minority. The legislature of Indiana has always been opposed U Gju. Jackioa. la 1321,

wnenhe received alir.otl as many voire as Clay and Adams both, he had only one or two political friends in either house. The case ia widely different now, but still they are the minority. Now what does all thi3show? Why, nothing more than that the question has not been tried in Indiana; and that the Adams ond Cla)itep, being generally lawyers, doctors and private gentlemen. pursuing no steady employment, have managed, by electioneering, to engross nearly all the oflices in the state. Bu' this will avail them nothing w hen the people, the real working men, the prop

and support of the country, come to the polls to vote for president. The old farmer and hero of Tennessee will not be forgotten. His friends may justly be charged with helping oppon ents, but they never will be chargeable with proving reGteant to their principles or ihzxr first friendship. The friends of the Administration in other States may rest satisfied, that Indiana is firm and immoveable for Jackson no matter what blustering politicians may gay to the contrary. Omission The editors of the Sfatepman in noticing new publications and changes in newspapers in this S'ate, omit to notice the "Indiana Democrat." Why this? The Dt mor rat makes particular mention of the Staltsm;;i, ir at least one of its editors, and should not he thus scurvily treated. Let brotherly love prevail.

Assassination. -On Thursday last, on the coast, about three leagues from the city, the owner of a flat was arrested hy a planter, in company with his son and several other persons, on pretence of having sold whiskey to some slaves. He demanded the reason of his arrest, and their authority for so doing, which they refused to comply with. Ho of course did not feel himself bound to obey such coercive proceedings, and accordingly proceeded on with his boat, when one of the party levelled a fowling piece at him, and lodged the con ter.ts in the head of the unfortunate boatman, of which he ins'antly expired, i Ihe body was brought to town, and after an inquest had been held, was interred. The assassin Was allowed to escape. A gentleman arrived in town on the 17h u.st. who lfft New Orleans on the 21st ult. and came by land on the mail route through Mobile. He informs us that both those places were remarkably healthy. The com crops in a part ! .u,ri.m uu ! Georgia, of South Carolina, were eniirely ruined by the drought, and the farmers were engaged in clearing the fields of the dry stalks. The cotton crops on the uplands, had sustained injurv ; but not so extensive as the corn. V. Y. Mer. Adv. Death by lightning. The Canas toga Madison cn.

Mr. Watkins and a journeyman were both thrown down censeles?, but afterwards recovered. During the sama storm, thf lightning passed down the rod of the Baptist church in Petersboro', and killed a cow. A house in that village was also struck, and several of the inmates severely but not dangerously injured. ! . Prnters Rubles. As we were walk met a man inquiring for our office. Expecting a ioh we promptly returned with him, and gave him an inquiring loot, as much as to say. Well, I am readv to wait on you. "I want," said he, "to buy n paper.' Yes sir, here's onp the latest. 4kI wan't an old one, with the account in it of the storm in Ohio." So we Commenced a search, and At last found one, which we hand-j ed him. "How much is it," he asked, j Six cent. "What sue cents for an old paper; T thought you would let it go for less?" No, sir, we never take less without we give it away, was the answer. "Well, are you. sure the ac-ro-mt is in it?' O ves, here it is. "Well now then' said he, "if you'll just 57 down and read it for me. I need'nt buy it." This was almost too rnuchj

but it wna a good or.e, nnd we read the whole account faithfully and honestly. After which the chap coolly said, 4'0h it is'nt so had as I tho't for," nnd walked out. In half an hour after meeting him, I got to the same part of the street again thinking to myself though Pd caught no fish I'd had a glorious nibble. Winchester Republican.

Labourers starved to Death, The poor haymakers, who came up horn the country to obtain work' in the neighborhood of the metropolis have sullertd the most dreadful distress, owing to the state of ihe weather. In the neighborhood of A. tion, in Middtest s, tw o ol the poor fellows were lound dead in a ditch, lo the parish d Wilsden, not tar distant, two rnoie were discovered in the same situation, and a fifth was found dead also somewhere about Hampstead. Upon opening the bodies, no sustenance what ever was found in the stomachs, excepting some sorrel, upon which plant the poor creatures had subsisted until death put a period to their uuvrings. JL.iv. Jour. The Quebec papers give an affecting account of a boat sinking with 12 persons, the 12th July, and 8 d row ruled. Also details of another scene cf disasters on the 17th: three men of the thip Triton went out in the long boat with a chain cable and anchor to moor the vessel all going aft to re-hitch the an chor, the boat sunk: a skill with four hands pulling towards, to pick up the floating men, was sunk by hasty exertions to save them, and cf the seven only one was saved. The mate of the Henry V. also lost his life: in letting go the anchor, lie slipped over and went down with it: 12 hours after, on weighing, his body was clinging to the anchor.
