IjaYrrcnccburgh, April HO,

OrA meeting of the friends of the republi can administration of Andrew Jackson, will be held in this place on Wednesday next, 4 o'clock, to appoints delegates for Lawrenceburgh township, to meet in convention in ibis place on Saturday next. (Vt5- A meeting for a similar purpose will be held in Manchester township, at 4 o'clock today We have bsen favored with the proceedings oftheLjgan township meeting, by which it will be seen that three good and substantial farmers have ben appoint to attend the convention in this place on Saturday next. Let the other townships follow the noble example of their republican friends in Logan, and there is no danger but that a ticket will be formed in the convention, tht will withstand every effort of the ruftie-shirt supporters of Mr. Clay 1o defeat it. The meeting, we are informed, was very large, and the proceedings sanctioned with great unanimity. The resolutions adopted here, met general approbation and applause.

The Statesman announces the names of .Mark JSIcCr acken and John Godlerj as candidates for commissioners in this county. James IValker is announced in the same paper as a candidate for representative to the legislature. As the latter gentleman is not a subscriber to this paper, his name will not appear in our list of candidates, unless we are paid Si. This rule will be observed in announcing candidates for office in the county, in all cases where they are not subscribers.

The editor of the Kentucky Statesman and a Mr. Roberts lately had a dispu e. lioberts, it appears, struck the editor ovei the nose with a stick, flattening it to the surface of his face; and the editor, in return, shot Roberts in the side with a pistol. Roberts, i: is said, is like-

this month, to fix upon a ticket to te supported at the ensuing election. Retched, That Wm. Pursel, George Arnold and Z-dekiah A. Bonham be appointed the committee, in pursuance of the above resolution. Resolved, That vre recommend to the democratic republican citizens of this county, to meet in each township and appoint delegates to meet in convention at L iwrencebnrgh,on the 23 J inst. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the chuiiman and secretary, and published. MILES KELLOGG, ch'o. Thos. M. Brackcxridue. see'v.

Temperance Society. A large and respectable meeting was held on Sunday evening, the 10;h inst.ut the court house in Liwrenoeburgh, for the purpose of organizing a society for the suppression of the evil of Intemperance. Mr. E. D. John was called to the chair, and A. S. Vance appointed secretary. The lie v. Mr. Scovel then opened the meeting by an appropriate appeal to the Throne of Grace; after which he proceeded to explain the object for which the meeting was called, in an impressive address, showing the great necessity of checking the growing vice of Intemperance. By -request, Mr. J. F. Lane then rose and delivered a very eloquent and practical address in favor of the suppression of the vice of Intemperance. After which a constitution was adopted, and Isaac Dunn

was appointed President, E. D. John

lv to recover: and the editor. Mr. Eiiott. in

forms his friends tliat his nose is fast regaining Vice President, E. WALKER Secretary,

a prominent position. Jiemark We, in Indiana, never carry jokes so far. The argument

must first be exhausted, if thatfails, then we set to and work a conviction always avoiding firearms or more dangerous weapons than those bestowed on us by nature. The march of improvement we fear is but slow in Kentucky.

We understand that the pinks of 'good society have determined on sending a deputation of chiefs and braves to attend the Kelso meeting to-day, for the very disinterested purpose of teaching the hunting-shirt supporters of Old Hickory how to vote at the next election. We would advise our Kelso friends to be on the look-out fr 'wolves in sheep"s clothing.'

Our neighbor of the Statesman, in his paper of the 8th, seems disposed to find some fault with the 'Jackson meeting,' held in this place a short time since. We did not expect that the proceedings of that meeting would meet the approbation of Mr. Gregg, or those disposed to oppose the administration 'right or wrong. Indeed, the resolutions adopted were not formed with an eye to what our opponents might

say of them it was sufficient that they met the approbation of our friends. It is Mr. Gregg's business to find fault with the administration and its friends it is what he is supported for and we ought not to blame the fellow for trying to act up to his engagements his bread depends on it . There are on? or two things, however, in his remarks of the 8th, which we deem worthy of a passing notice. He says that it is a well known fact that there were six persons appointed to draft resolutions, and charges us with 'studiously concealing' that Col. Spencer was one of them. To this charge we oppose a direct denial . The Colonel's name did not appear on the proceedings, as handed to us by the Secretary; and as one evidence that Mr. Gregg knew this, he informed us that he saw the Colonel erase his name from the proceedings, in the absence of the committee. The reasons assigned by Mr. Gregg for the withdrawal of the Colonel from the committee, are equally unfounded, as every member can testify . He says the Colonel 'either became alarmed at the illiberal course iecommendsd" by the committee, "or disgusted with their proceedings, and withdrew from their deliberations." Now, this is all guess-work, tho' the effrontery with which it is put forth would seem to require a different foundation. The fact is, the Colonel asked to be excused from acting on the committee while it was retiring, before he knew what its course would be, or was required to give his sanction to its proceedings. How the Colonel could have 'became alarmed' and 'disgusted' with the proceedings and course of the committee, when he Was ignorant of either, appears to us passing strange- There must be some necromancy about the matter; and doubt not that had it occurred in New-England, in the days of the pil.

erim fathers, Mr. Gregg would ere this' have1 it i.t i 1 1 t j i

sunereu tne pains anu penalties oi wucnerate for his divination. We knoxv Col. Spencer's

reasons for asking to be excused from acting on

the committee, and are satisfied with them . These, we believe, will at a convenient time be submitted to the public, when it will be seen what a small hook it is Mr. Gregg has chosen to hang an argument upon. A gam-' lie charges us with omitting one resolution adopted at the meeting a very important one, he says declaring that we would not support any but friends of the administration .for the different offices. Will Mr. Gregg be pood enough to read the resolutions ever again. We think there is such a one among them, or at least one covering the same ground; and if we are not mistaken it is the same as read in the meeting. At all events it is so very near it, that none but an adebt at hair-splitting can tell the difference . We have the original in the office, and if it does not bear the relation to the printed one, of six to half a dozen, then we know nothing about words or their import.

Township Electing. At a meeting of the friends of the present administration, convened at the house of Thomas W.Campbell, in Logan township, Dearborn county, I on Saturday the 9lh of April, 1831, Miles Kellogg was called to the chair, and Thomas M. Rrackenridge appointed secretary. The object of the meeting being explained from the chair, a committee of four, consisting of George Wooley, Warren Tebbs, Nicholas Johnson and Wm. II. Lloyd was appointed to draft and submit resolutions. The following were reported by the committee to the meeting, and adopted by a large majority : Resolved, That there be three delegates appointed to meet in convention with those of the other townships at Lawrcuceburgh ca the 4th Saturday in

and A. S. Vance Treasurer. The

meeting then atijourned to the 1st Monday in May next, to meet at the court house at early candle light, to elect the rest of the oflicers for this county society. A. S. VANCE, Sec'y. The fallowing resolutions have passed the legislature of Pennsylvania the first fjur without opposition, and the 5th and 6lh bv a vote of 11 to 7519 to 76. It will, be seen that the two last, have reference to rechartering the United States bank, and to a distribution of the surplus revenue. The 5th is adverse to the opinion of President Jackson, and the 6th in accordance with it. Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met,

As the sense oi the senate and house of representatives of this commonwealth, that the constitution of the United States, having proved itself by near half a century's experience, a government beyond all others capable of promoting rational liberty and the general welfare, it must be preserved. 2. Resolved, As the sense of the senate and house of representatives, that the constitution of the United Slates authorizes acts of congress to protect manufactures, and that the actual prosperity of the country attests the wisdom of such acts. 3. Resolved, As the sense of the senate and house of representatives, that any diminution cf the protection now offered to iron would be impolitic and

injudicious legislation. 4. Resolved, As the sense of the senate and house of representatives, that the constitution of the United States authorizes, and cxprience sanctions, the twenty-fifth sectiou ol the act of congress of September one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine, and all others, empowering the federal judiciary to maintain the supreme laws. 5. Resolved, As the sense of the senate and house of representatives, that whereas the bank of the United States his tended in a great degree to maintain a sound and uniform currency, to

facilitate the financial operations of the government, to regulate foreign and domestic exchange, and has been conducive to commercial prosperity, the legislature of Pennsylvania, recommend a renewal of its charter, under such regulations and restrictions as to the power of the respective states as congress may deem right and proper. G. Resolved, As the sense of the senate and house of representatives, that as soon as the national debt shall be paid, the most equitable and just mode of disposing of the surplus funds which may remain in the treasury of the U. Sates, after defraying the ordinary expenses of the government, and the payment of appropriations which may be made to objects of great national importance, will be by a distribution among the several states in proportion to their representation in the congress of the United States, and that the executive Veto was properly exercised on the bill making an appropriation to the Maysville and Lexington road.

Foreign Paupers A bill has passed the legislature of Massachusetts, in relation to the introduction of foreigners, which provides that no alien shall be allowed to land from any vessel whatever, until the master shall have paid five dollars to the city or town where the vessel shall arrive. It would be well were such a law passed in every state. We are wretchedly imposed on, in Maryland, by the transport of 13 it ish paupers to our shores; and our films-houses, jails and penitentiary, have a ten-fold proportion of their inmates in foreigners, recently landed in the United States. Such a law would not check the emigration of such persons as we are desirous of re

ceiving

JViles Reg's,

Since M. Hardin, esq. declined running for congress, A. G. II awes, has been announced as a candidate in the 11th congressional District. Mr. Ilawes is a young gentleman of highly promising talents and irreproachable character, in favor of whom the Republicans of the district will cordially unite. John L. Helm esq. is announced as a candidate in opposition to Air. Ilawes. Mr. Helm is supposed to be the Clay candidate. Mr. Chilton, should his health permit, will also be a candidate in the ame district; but will be considered as belonging to neither of the two great parties. We understand that Mr. Chilton has expressed a determination to run on his ozm bottom, and to establish the ascendency of the Chilton Part); in the 1 1th district. Louisville A dvertiscr.

The only demonstration of public enthusiasm in favor of Mr. Clay, in New-Orleans, is said to have taken place one night at the American Theatre. The Courier say s, a "faint hurrah-1 was raised in favor of Mr. Clay, which41 was at once put down by enthusiastic shouts of "hurrah for Old Hickory:'' lb. Mr. Clay's Biographer states that the nullifiers are "bitter! v denouncing" gen. Jackson's administration and the Biographer speaks of the nulliliers as "our brethren at the Smith" 'Our brethren !n We like that. The nullifiers and Clayites are now brethren because they are equally hostile to gen. Jackson. The great body of tlie people despise both of these factions. Proscription. We learn by the Jour

nal yesleiday, that the President has actually prescribed all iiullifers. We are glad that the opposition have thus acknowledged the baseness of the allegation heretofore made by them, that the President was himself a nullitier. Cive the opposition rope, &c. lb. : The Philadelphia Chronicle, says that the Penacock Indians, who were a formidable tribe in that vicinity, used to predict the weather from the movement of the morning fog, w hich usually passed ttTin the direction towards the sea or towards the mountains. "If (said they) the fog goes a fishing, we shall have fair weather, but if it goes a hunting, lock for a storm." This say ing is not uncommon among the fishermen of the present

day. Extract of a letter from a correspondent oj the jXezo York Courier and Enquirer, dated London, January 19, 1831, "The decision of the long pending boundary question between the United States and

Great Britain, has at last been given, and, in my humble opinion, you have every reason to be satisfied with his Dutch Majesty, who puts you in possession of more than six miliions of acres of the best Canada lands, among which are the well settled counties of Herford and Divon, with the main road between Quebec, New Brunswick, Halifax and Nova Scotia. The boundary line is to run, for about sixty miles, within thirteen miles of the St. Lawrence, and for about one hundred miles along the river St. John, up to the St. Francis. Little indeed as the people of London are at present disposed to pay attention to American politics, this decision has caused a considerable sensation, and John Bull grumbles very much at the liberality of the Dutch King and his cabinet.

leaving the rail, it passed through the lloor and down the chimney about two feet, where it took a horizontal direction above the plastered wall of a brick partition about three feet, then passed through at the top of a saw, hanging in the adjoining room occupied as a cabinet shop, thence down the saw melting fifteen or twenty teeth nearly oil thence to the top of an iron clamp that leaned against the wall at the lower end of the saw. The lightning then passed down the clamp to the lower tloor, where it entered a canister cf turpentine through six or seven holes the sizecf a small pea each; went out of the bottom of the canister at the opposite edge; and passed through the lloor making a hole three-fourths of an inch in diameter. No further traces were visible. Very little irjury was done to the building, excepiirg that fourteen panes of glass w ere broken to pieces in a window nearly before the horizontal course of the lightning on the wall. The turpentine in the canister and the sut in the chimney were 6et on fire. There were nine persons in the building, all of whom escaped without any other injury than the receiv ing of a severe shock most of them being brought to the lloor.

Elizabeth City X, C, March M. We have been informed that one night last week, about thirty slaves (including all the males on the island, but two, with many of their wives and children) left Portsmouth in a small lighter, and went to sea over the Ocracock bar, with the intention, it is thought, cf getting to some northern state or city. The day after they sailed, the wind blew a gale frcm N. N. E. and it is supposed they have perished. A vessel has sailed from Ocracock, in pursuit of them. ANNUAL ELECTION.

The London Morning Chronicle says, Peyronnet and Polignac have had serious deferences since their imprisonment in the fortress atllain, and on one occasion, as appears from a pri vate correspondence, the infuriated lawyer threw a candlestick at the head of the Prince, which fortunately missed hitn. The Pi ince has petitioned the government of France that he may be separated from his companion.
