DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE fr president ANDItEW JACZISON. The Presidential q'ietion is a whir pool, uiuch sweeps every tiling-, far and near, into its vartfx. Whatever has the sh-dow of a relation to either of the candidates, is forthwith -published. Those people who are desirous of forming an honest opinion npn the merits of the distinguished personages alluded to, (we firmly believe that, out of Congress, thers are many such ) and who consider themselves in duty bound to read every thipg, that can aid them in their laudable design, are in a truly pitiable cise. llow will they ever toil through the multitude of pubjcations, that have already sppeared upon the subject, to say nothing- of others wh'ch will be forth-coming the ytar ensuing ? There is, for instance, the expositions, explanations, criminations, and ail other kinds of tioii. of Ingham, Branch, Berrien, Johnson, Eaton, &c., together with the reports of the F.ee Trade, American System, Tariff, and a var'ety of other Convention, not to forget the Anties and Stephen Simpson, and sundry other documents, debates, and essays, too numerous to be mentioned. These, and as much more, must be at the finder's ends of those in the community, who are desirous of informing thmselves, as weM as the much larger number who aspire to instruct others on the important subject, which is the common hinge, on which all these publications turn. Is it not almost enough to make one renounce his allegiance to the principles of the Constitution, and wish, as xlid John Adams and Alexander Hamilton, to have a President for life ? But we are writing too fast. Lest this latter sentiment, emanating from such high authority, should produce too great an impression, we think proper to say, that we do not announce it as a deliberate opinion. We would rather await the result of ne or two more presidential elections, before we adopt so anti-republican a principle. Such an idea did, however, enter our head, and we can ac count for it only by ascribing it to the splenetic sensation, occasioned by the sight of the abovementioned long documents, which we felt it incumbent on us, in our editorial capacity, to peruse. BIOGRAPHY OF HENRY CLU. This book was evidently got up with a view to the promotion of Mr. Clay's political interests. That it was manufactured under his supervision, there can be no doubt. The author resided at Lexington, during its compilation, was a frequent visitor at Mr. Clay's, and, as is asserted, received from him every facility necessary for the accomplishment of his undertaking. In fact, the book contains much of which there is no record, and which never could have come to the knowledge of the biographer but by the interposition of Mr. Clay himself. Pub lie opinion, as far as it can be ascertained from the newspapers, is decidedly hostile to the work; condemning it as a tissue of gross misrepresentations, libels, and false coloring, and evincing a disposition in Mr. Clay to trumpet his own fame, wholly at variance with that modesty and dignity, which we have a right to j expect from a man of his reputation, aspiring as he is to the highest office in the government. It may be of service for the public to be in formed of some of the pitiable means !(to use no harsher term) resorted to, to get the edition off the publishers' hands. One instance came to our knowledge, where an agent for the distribution of the work sold some thousands of copies to a gentleman, with the express understanding that he should be furnished with lists of subscribers for the full amount of books purchafed. We shall see how this contract was fulfilled. The books are delivered and packed, and several hands engaged to assist in distributing them, and the unsuspecting purchaser prepares to enter upon the business, with high expectatior.s of reaping a pecuniary harvest; hav. Ing bought the book for about one half the subscription price, when, instead of individual sub. scribers, he is furnished with a list of agents, whom it was supposed would have the necessary amount of subscribers . Diligent search being made for the said agents, one ha'f of them, perhaps, were found; the remainder had no ex istence, or a very erratic one- Of the former, some had scanty lists of subscribers, others had none; tho?e who had, with few exceptions, re fused to give them up, as might have been an ticipated, till they had been remunerated for the trouble of collecting them. Fly this time the purchaser discovered that he had been overreached, completely Yankeedoodled, and that the celebrated Biography of the reputed "father of the American System,' was a down, right drug in the market. We are of opinion that Mr. Samuel Hanmer, Jr. and Mr John Jay Phelps will find, by the time their steriotype plates are worn to the beard, that five hundred dollars was all the copyright was worth. One word more. In what light should a man be viewed, who. having conditionally disposed of a large amount of merchandise, and finding it in danger of reverting to him , to settle the difficulty and increase the chances of sale for what he might have remaining, should propose to freight a flat boat with it, get it insured, and sink it, and thus fraudulently take from the underwriters, what he despaired of obtaining by an honorable sale' There couM be no interme diate grade of public opinion nothing short of utter condemnation. Such a man we know. FIRE. There was a fire of some magnitude in Cincinnati, on Walnut Street, between Co lumbia and Pearl, last Monday night. A brill ant light was seen from this place, in the direction of Cincinnati, on Thursday evening, tbout 9 o'clock, supposrd to be a fire.

Trem sn article in the last week's Statesman, the reader would infer that the publishers of that paper and the Palladium originally made the same proposals for printing the County Expose. U was not so. The terms cf each were rf q lested, and the editor of this paper gave in six dollars; the same as was paid to the editor of the Statesman the year preceding. The latter proposed doing it for nothing. The editor of the Palladium thn remarked that he would copy it fiom the Mst-tsman oi the same condi tiorn. He never ftVied to print it from the minuscript copy without fee or reward."

A late Alabama paper state that them is a most deplorab'e and alarming scarcity of ynung Jadies in that state. The young men number a hundred to one. Every marriageable lady, whether native or exotic, is hurried to the Hy menial altar as soon as possible. In Massachusetts, and other eastern sta'es, if memory serves us, there is a Furp'us of females. We would suggest the propriety of their migrating. The Trustees of Cincinnati have published a notice, forbidding free negroes to settle in that tnwnsh'n. &nrt nrrimiiiior fn f nfnri t ho clolnUf of the State of Ohio on every person who may give such negroes employment or protection, contrary to said statutes. This public notice was given in consequence of a report, that the slave f fates were adopting measures to remove the free colored population from their limits. The la'e splendid triumph cf Republican principles in New York, was celebrated the 21st ult. by a public dinner at Tammany Hall, which, judging from the previous arrangements, must have surpassed any which has ever been held in that place. The editor of the Enquirer, in remarking upon the recent elections in that state, has the following: A Sign from the Injected District. The most astonishing return which we have yet received of the recent election is that which follows from the county of Genesee. In that county anti-masonry had its birth. When it is defeated here, it is utterly strangled Sc annihilated in its own hearth all its household gods are shivered around if. The regular anti-masonic candidate for Clerk was Fitch he has been defeated by David C. Miller, who took the stump. Miller was the first editor who raised the anti-masonic banner in New York. He was the friend of Morgan, his companion and fellow sufferer. Last summer Miller gave evident signs of disgust at the recent doings of Weed, Granger, Spencer, and the whole band of Wirt anti-masons. He is the leader of the originals in the West, and will oppose the Baltimore nomination. The election shows that the organization of the anti-masonic party is broken to pieces in i f 2 j rnnrr hnlrl i l-i r in I . ; , r.u i r plete disruption of the elements of anHi . i ... . masonry. In six months there will be no such party as anti-masons in New York. It is dead and burried. The Postmaster at this place, J- W. Hunter, Esq., has obligingly furnished us with the following account of the arrivals and departures of the Mails at this place, to which we have appended the Rates of Postage.

Same as to Coffee. The Grain market is also favorable. We are all lor the Taiiir for protecting our Manufactures for rendering ourselves independent of Foreign Nations. Let us not rely upon Britain tor the very coats we wear, is the general cry in the eastern, western and middle etate?. All our leading politicians north of the Potomac, are in fa vour of protecting duties. But has it always been sol Those who were the friends of the "American System" in its infancy, and who are its supporters in maturer ag3, deserve our praises and support. But what do those merit at our hands, who would have crushed our Manufactures in their birth, and left us still dependants upon England? What do we owe to those who refused to foster American capital and industry, until their waning popularity induced them to change ground? The honest politician is the consistent Statesman; Gen. Jackson has always been in favor of a judicious Tariff. We make the

following extract from the speech of Mr. Simpson, of Worcester, Massachu eette: 4iIt was long since ascertained, th.it unless our cotton manufacturers were protected iu the manufacture of coarse cotton?, they must discontinue work and the many Millions which have been invested in that kind of property, consequenMr lost. The surplus manufactures of Europe, were thrown into our country unrestrained; and India was constantly draining us of specie in payment for her Cotton good?. The friends of American Industry mnde many applications to Congress, to pro-

tect the manufacture of Cotton goods ! against this foreign competition. In the ' year 1824, while General Jackson wh a member of the senate of the United Slate?, and Mr. Daniel Webster was a member of the House of representatives, the great tariff question the adoption of which was to suststain our cotton manufactories, or by its rejection to destroy them all, was decided. Up to that time the duty on cotton goods was 25 per cent, on the cost. Cotton cloths costing 8 cents the square yard would pay a duty of 2 cents. But by the bill under consideration, no cottons could be entered as cosiing less than SO cents per square yard; of course, the duty would be 7 1-2 cts. the square yard. The question on this bill, drew the line between the enemies and friends of American manufactures. Among those who answered Yes, on the passage of the bill, stands recorded the name of ANDREW JACKSON, with those of Martin Van Buren, Mahlon Dickerson, John H. Eaton, and other distinguished friends of this admistration. And among the enemies of the bill, those who answ ered No, stand recorded the name of Daniel Webster, andolheis wiih whom he has politically associated. The Bill was passed and ui.der it we have flourished.,, Here, upon a question of vital interest to our country, stood Jackson and Dickerson; Tennesse and New-Jersey, side and side, opposed to Webster and his political associates. Shall we not stand so still ? 0ir interests are the same. Mount J Jolly Ihrald.
