LAV7RENCEBURGH.

The senior editor of the Statesman seems very desirous to know our opinion on the veto and sundry other questions propounded. We certainly ought to feel under some obligations to him for his kind attentions for a few weeks past, but would claim the liberty of denying his right to question us on any subject whatever. "There are some tnen whose contact is pollution' and Tfith whom it would be little short of self-murder to be driven into a contest, but much more dishonorable to do it voluntarily. The good opinion which a few entertain of the senior editor, induces us to spare their feelings, and our selves the trouble of extending this article. Suffice it that we seek not to hide our opinions from those who have a right Xo know them; and whenever we are called upon from a legitimate source, they shall be given freely. Rain, During the past week we had a few refreshing showers of rain, the first that has fallen here for two months. The ground still however, continues dry and vegetation unpromising, particularly the late corn and potatoes neither of which will yield half a crop. The Ohio river is at low stagp, perhaps not more than 2 or 3 inches above extreme low water mark-a remarkable circumstance at this early season of the year. Governor Ray and lady arrived ih our townon Saturday last,and took lodgings at Mr. Hunt's hotel. A casual absence from home prevented U3 from seeing his excellency, but we are informed he was in delicate health. He left heie on Tuesday for the seat of government.

Mr, Eaton's letter. We would invite the attention of the reader, to the letter

of the secretary of war, on the subject of Indians affairs. The opposition to the present administration have been represented as implacable in their enmity, and as seeming to disbelieve the most clear and convincing facte, whenever they tend to advance cr do justice to the public acts of the president. However true this may be, and however prejudiced are his enemies, we still entertain a better opinion of the great body of the opposition, than to suppose they will continue, in the face of lights to persecute and slander the General for his course towards the Indians. Blind and infuriate zealots may do so, but the cool and reflecting must acknowledge and approve of the wise and humane policy of his administration in regard to the Indian tribes.

Kentucky, The Watchtower and Journal, of Harrodsburgh, under date of the 21st August, contains a complete list of the senators and representatives in the Kentucky legislature; showing the number in each houe of Jackson men, and those pledged to support the administration. The result gives a majority of 2 in the senate and 14 in the house

of representatives favorable to the administration. The re-election of Mr. Rowan to the U. S. Senate, and the rejection of Clay's nomination to the presidency, are, therefore, no longer questions of doubt.

MR CLAY'S PROSPECTS. The figurative calculations of an anonymous writer in the Nation! Intelligence r, are pven with great gravity as the f undation of Mr. Cla)'a prospects for the Presidency. This I-ob8 to us very mu h like "whistling to keep his courgir up" The whole of thr voUs of N" w.York, Maryland, Louisiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, are at one brush of the- p n of this "c.rjetturing' 5 anony mous "man of candor and intelligence," (for whom the Jourrul indorses) unceremoniously given to Mr. Clay. This is taking time hy the forelock, and such a calculation will, doubtless, have great weight, in coercing the people to vote accordingly. Afier claiming all the above states, aa well as Vermont and Maiiif, thty give to Clay 146 fo Jackson, 115. Novr if Mr. Clay should only fail to get the vote of Ntw Yoik (it being 36 votes) he is beaien, from Uu-irowri showing 1SI votes being necessary to anelectiou, and he only hsving 110. Agiu, if he losrs Ohio and Kentucky he is beairn by

this calculation, they giving 30 votes, which would leave him only 116 it he should be lucky enough to get New Y.ik. Agfcin, if w shall fail to get Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Louisiana, and half of Maryland, he is still beaten, having only a chance for 12$ volte. Thus it is evident that Mr.CUj's prospect is hopeless Bnd helpltes. Tnere is no human probability of his being able to secure any one chance named above, even if his election depended upon the vote of any of the states na med ; but only for a moment suppose that either of the three alternativt-s mentionr d should fail

him and where is hr Fallen, shall wesy? no, not fallen, fur he never was exal'ed he is, as politicians would say, down, a. d down l.k.-ly to be, Indiana Democrat.

Watermelons, pea?, Sec, would be in Monrovia market in three or four weeks. MilUburg lies on St. Paul's river, north about twenty miles from Monrovia. Internal improvement is carrried on. A road h?H been cut from Millaburg, along the St. Paul's, into the interior. The Herald of the 6th June contains a detailed account of the hostile operalions which had been carried on by King Boatswain the most formidable of the neighboring African chiefs against the Quea people and those of the Little liassa. lie hud burnt seven or eight towns in the Quea country, and taken three. The Herald holds forth the assurance of the safety of the colony from the attacks of this or any other of the chiefs. Little Bas&a lies down the coast, south east from Monrovia, about 60 miles. There are many Bassa tribes occupying tthe coast from Montserado river, (Monrovia) southward, havii g

about 125,000 people. Two slavers, a brig and a schooner, had been captured bv the British cruizjrs and ordered to Sierra Leone. In the numbers of the Herald before us we observe the usual shipping Hot, annunciations of marriages and deaths, advertisements for the sale of merchandise, and other publications all bespeaking the regular and prospe.rons

Mr. Holmes, As this is a personage of great notoriety, and is looked up to as a kind of oracle in the Clay ranks, we

have taken the trouble to insert a few extracts from a speech of his on internal improvements, delivered in congress in 1824. His sentiments, as then expressed, are a little different from those now held by the Clay party; but what of that? Have not the times changed presidents and offices changed? And why not opinions alter to f uit exigencies? Consistency is an oldfashioned jewel and ought not to be "worn on all occasions. To be sure Mr. Holmes Fpoke very hard of thesys. tern of internal improvements, but that Was befcre it was known that it formed a part of Mr. Clay's "American system," his opinions may be very different now. The Clay papers have been dappling and huzzaing about the elections in Missouri. It would really seem by the following notices from a St. Louis paper, that the "little red" (Mr. Barton.1! will

liave leave to retire to private life, after

ine nexi session or congress. Missouri Election, The St. Louis Beacon states, that on this subject: "Our friends may rest assured that ?he people have elected from TWO

MlilKUS 10 1 HULL tUUKTHS of the members favorable to the administration, and pledged to elect a senator out of the Jackson republican ranks." Missouri Senator, "For the information of our friends in other States, we can inform them that the election of a Jackson Republican Senator is just as certain as-any human event can be." Governor Miller, R. W. Wales, Gen. Ashley, Major O'Fallon, Mr. Pettis, and othen, are talked of to succeed their present unworthy Senator, Mr. Barton.

A London correspondent ofthe NewYork Journal of Commerce writes as

follows: "The character and intellect of William IV. are not very highly appreciated, but it is very likely that he will be more popular than his predecessor, because he will more frequently show himself in public, and make greater

exertions to win the affections of his subjects; but above all, because in his royal consort, he possesses a queen of rare endowments of heart and intellect, who is disposed and able to raise and reform the character of the court, and to exhibit a bright example of female excellence to her ses of every condition throughout the realm. Tnere are many changes spoken of, but it is certain that the Duke will retun the Premiership for the present. Hukisson is spoken of for the colonial department, and it is confidently and plausibly asserted that the several admirals will be created peers. The news of the act confering on the president powers to meet in th recess of congress any measures that England may adopt in relation to the VVe?t India Islands, was received here yesterday with great satisfaction. It is a judicious measure, inasmuch as it evinces

a disposition on your side to do every

The New England Palladium, speaking of the next Presidency, says, "In New-England, no movements have been made which may be considered indicative of the course she will take at the approaching election. We sha'nt support Jackson, and may not support Ctay. Our obvious policy is to

keep aloof Irom the contest, and throw our weight into the scale of that man w ho, in addition to a reasonable prospect of success, may be the most wor thy of our support." The Providence Patriot remarks upon the above that if that is the game, "WE" had better come out tor Jat kson at once. He has the most "lensonable propect of success," and is the 6 most worthy of our support." So

ho that is doub'tul yet, is it? ihe Palladium is under the immediate control ot Daniel Web ter,and such a hint as that we have quoted means something considerable.
