PAlLILAaMIJM. ILatvrericcJiiirsli, Jan. 7, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICS CANDIDATE for president Ths present session of the Legislature bids fair to be a protracted one . There are more than 150 bills on the files of the House, and business daily accumulating. The trial of Young L. Hughes, esq. occupied the Senate and House on Monday and Tuesday last, and, prooably for several succeeding days. This trial, whether he be found guilty or acquitted, will cost the state from 1500 to 2,000. The method of testing the guilt or innocence of a Justice of the Peace, by impeachment before the Senate, seems to be too prolix and expensive. If we mistake not, it is a subject of ju. dicial decision, in many of the States. A memorial and joint resolution has passed the Senate and been engrossed for a third reading in the House, praying the extinguishment of the Indian title to lands in this state. The feeling in behalf of the "Poor Indians" if, indeed, any ever really existed, 13 fast dying away; and the very policy execrated in the President, is becoming a favorite and popular measure with bis late enemies. How nice a matter it is be consistent. A late English paper says, The choice of Mr. Clay as the next President of the United States is looked upon as certain." During the last war the aristocracy of Eng. hnd embraced the falacious hope that James Madison would be driven from the presidential chair by the power and influence of the Hartford Convention, and thus the democracy of the c mntry be prostrated. They now seem to exult in the equally vain hope that the Baltimore Con. vention will effect, in the overthrow of Andrew Jackson, and the promotion of Henry Clay, what their old allies failed to achieve. The defeat of their wishes will be as signal in the one instance as it was in the other. The present incumbent wiil bz re elected by a fur more pop" ular vote than either of his predecessors receiv. ed, where there was an organized opposition. 4 We will sec." MR. CLAY S LETTER to the Baltimore Convention, through his friend, Jlr-Sec ret cry Barbour , strongly intimates that his election to the presidency is inseparably connected with the prosperity of certain 4 established institutions and systems of policy, long and deservedly cherished," and can a'one sava the country from "misrule, disgrace, and ruin.' This, we presume, is to be considered as an, improvement of his old song of "war, pestilence and famine.' Mr. Clay's modesty is excessive. It wgs perfectly understood that this Convention was constituted for the express purpose of nominating him for the presidency ; and this nomination is to "rescue the Executive government from misrule, disgrace, and ruin ! His infaluaticn has hardly a parallel in the history of the world. Maddened by ambition and the utter hopelessness of his cause, his modesty, his discretion, and his reason,have deserted him. W here is the evidence of this " misrule, disgrace, and ruin ?;' Is it to be found in the diplo. matic arrangements effected with England, Denmark, Braz'r, France, Russia, Austria, Mexico, Naples, and Spain t Or shiH we look for it in the extinguishment of the Xaaional debt, and the unexampled prosperity and happiness that pervades every section of the country ? No. Mr. Clay finds it abundantly easier to condemn by gross assertions than by producing individual facts. But it won't do. Other evidence of the existence of his "war, pestilence, and famine," "misrule, disgrace, and ruin.-' than his mere ipse dixit, will be required. Will he tell us, forthwith, what those "institutions and systems of policy" are, that have been so "long and de set vedly cherished ?" Or will he postpone it for a "more propitious period ?" It cannot be his 'Merican System, which he has now abandoned; for that was crushed by public opinion, in its infancy, and has never been "established,'' nor yet "long and deservedly cherished." We are constrained to think, as did Mr. Adams, when Mr. Clay threatened him with certain reminiscences, " when that period arrives, we will be slumbering in our graves.1' Washington, Dec. 10, 1831. My Dear Sir ; I was extremely glad 10 icaru uiai you nad accepted the ap- " ointment of a member of the BaltiConvention, which is to assemble '."week, to nominate for the considtf on of the people of the U. Slates, didatesfor their President and Vice .evident; and that notwithstanding the extraordinary inclemency ot the .weather, you had proceeded to the city where the important trust is to be performed. It is to be sincerely hoped that the acknowledged patriotism and nteltigence of the Convention, aided y the purity of intention and practiMgood sense by which I have so ofwitnessed you to be guided, in ic nlittirs, may conduct vour delib. .1 to results satisfactory ; factory to the jnity. yist have been entire! regardless jsing events, if I had not observed ij name has been repeatedly pd as being brought before the j -,;nj, and that, in some instan- . tes have been instructed by ,- constituents to yield support to it, Candidate for ihe Presidency, restriction, or any other restric- . ,3n the perfect freedom of delib- . ". and decision of the convention, ' edient. It would have had a ;v ppy constitution if it had em V'.

bodied the wiil of all who arc desirou? of rescuing the Executive Government of the Union from the misrule which threatens to subvert established institutions and systems of policy, long &z, deservedly cherished, and to bring disgrace and ruin upon the country. So constituted, the Convention could have made a comparative estimate of the many citizens of the United States who are competent to discharge the duties of Chief Magistrate, and selected from among them that one who, posse? -ig the requisite principles, would probably unite, to the greatest extent the public confidence and public support. For one, I anxiously wish that the convention, dismissing every feeling of previous attachment or predilection, will now rrnke impartially such an estimate and selection; and should their choice fall upon any individual other than myself, it shall have, not only my hearty acquiesence, but my cordial and zealous co operation. I have been very desirous to lay these sentiments before the Convention, but it has appeared to me that I could not formaly do it without incurring the imputation of presumptuousness. or indelicacy. VVill you then, my dear sir, with whom I often had the happiness to be associated in the public councils, consent to be the organ of making them known, if necessary to the Convention? Should my name not be presented to its consideration for the Presidency, it will not,be proper or necessary, to make the communication; but if it should be, I confide the manner of doing it to your judgement and sense of propriety. With fervent wishes for the prevalence of good feelings and harmony in the Convention, I am cordially and constantly your friend. 11. CLAY. James Barbour, Esq. ITEMS. Guy C. Clark, who was sentenced to death for the murder of his wife, in the state of NewYork, is to be executed on the 3d of February next. Mrs, Royal attributes the negro insurrection. Sec. to Wm. Lloyd Garrison. She may be half right. We know this Garrison well. He is a native of Xva Scotia, who came to Newbury port, Mass., and served an apprenticeship with E. XV. Allen, the Silver Grey editor of the fivestriped Newburyport Herald. John Breathitt and Benjamin Tay'or have been nominated for Gov. and Lieut. Gov. of Ky. by a Jackson Convention at Frankfort. A Pennsylvania paper recommends an increase of duty on foreign coal. The 'Merican System forever ! The United States District Caurt, New-York, has decided that stolen goods are not subject to duties ; being imported as well as tr&nsportedi against the owner's will . A society has been formed in Miine, called the "Anti-Litigation Association." Its object, the suppression of lawsuits, The duties annually collected on wool, hemp, iron, sugar, woollens, and cotton, amoant to 8,900,000 dollars. The lion. Charles Welles ha9 been chosen Mayor of the City of Boston. It is said that all the signers of the Declara tion of Independence were Freemasons except four; that Washington, Franklin, Greene, War. ren, and all the general officers of the Revolution were Freemasons, with the exception of

Benedict Arnold the traitor. The two missionaries confined in the Georgia Penitentiary, have cited that state to appear before the Supreme Court of the United fitates, to answer for their imprisonment. The following was among the toasts at a Cat tie Show, in Massachusetts: " The good old bean porridge dayt of our con?itry when temperance starved the doctor, fair dealing the lawyer, and moral honesty killed the parson's Devil.' There is a lady living in Petersburgh. in this state, who is V20 years old. She came to this country from Scotland, in 1727. The 221 of February next will complete a century since the birth of WAsnixoToir. It should be madi a national jubilee . It is said, that in the two last years there have been no fires in the city cf Boston. Governor Noble has appointed Jacob Landis, of Indianapolis, Adjutant General, Dmas L. M'Farland, of Marion County, Quarter Master General, and Daniel Siglar and Elisha M. Huntington, of Terre Haute, Aids. The Antimasonic and the Clay editors are accusing each other of prefering the Jackson party to theirs. They are probably both right A bill has been reported in the Ohio Legisla. ture, to incorporate a company far the purpose of making a railway from Cincinnati to St. j Louis. A lady was lately committed to prison in Philadelphia, charged with beating ber huaband unmercifully. The Cincinnati Water Company have offered their works to the city for 150,000 dollars. Stephen Gerrard, the great Banker, died in Philadelphia, the 25ih ult. of TyphQs Fever. Tae dwelling house of the Hon. Perkins King, in Cattskill, N. Y. was recently destroyed by fire, and the father and infant son of Mr. King perished in the flames. AfBoston seamstress says there are 14,500 stiches in a fine linen shirt. The editor of the Cleaveland Advertiser inquires how many scams there are in a to cloth shirt.

liir Foreign Pevs.

By an arrival at New York, the Editors of the Courier and Enquirer received Liverpool papers to the 5th November. On the subject of "Reform," the Liverpool .Journal says," We have received the following letter, from a gentelmen of observation and character, who has, as he states?, visited all the manufacturing districts: "Birmingham, JYov. 3. 1 831 . "Having, within these ten days, visited Manchester, Bolton, Halifax, Leed. Sheffield, Derby, and Birmingham, I have had opportunities of observing the all-absorbing feeling on the subject of reform. It i? really astonishing. Among commeicinl men of whom I have seen a great number in Lancashire and Yorkshire, as well as in this county and Derbyshire, there is one determined expression it is in every mouth it is, "We will have the bill." The riots in Bristol are deplored, but yet many persons think that the specimen shown there of what may be expected all over the land if the lords again reject the bill, may be of some benefit in inducing fear to operate to offer for the people, what love never will. Self-interest is the only principle of action with the aristocracy; and they may read by the light of the Bristol tire?, what their political opthalmia had before obscured from their eyes. "As for the bishops, nobody that 1 have ever seen dreams of their political existence extending another twelve months. I have seen several addresses to the King and Earl Gray, from Sheffield and other place?, expressing the public feeling most explicitly on this subject. The vote of the 21 bishops will render the year '31 celebrated in history. It has removed the key-stone of the corner cf the national church; and the more prudent speculators, it is thought will remove to a distance fr(m the building, lest its fall might overwhelm themselves. Appointments by the President, ly and with the advice cev consent of the Senate. Micajah T. Williams, of Cincinnati, to bo Surveyor General of Public Lands, in the States of Ohio, Indiana and Michigan Territory, vice William Lytle, deceased. Hore Browse Trist, of Louisiana, o be Surveyor General of Public Land?, in the State of Louisiana, vice Joshua Baker, resigned. Edmund Christian, of Virginia, to be Marshal of the United States, for the E istern District of Virginia, vice John Pegram, deceased. Abiah Sharps, o( Pennsylvania, to be Marshal of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, vice GeorgK B. Porter, appointed Governor of Michigan Territory. James Points, of Virginia, to be Marshal of the United States for the Western District of Virginia, v ice Benjamin Reeder. In the Globe of Thursday last, a Resolution o tie red in the House of Representatives, by Mr. McCarty, ot Indiana, was incorrectly reported. It is cor rected below Globe. Resolved, That the committee on Internal Improvements be instructed to inquire into the expediency of authorizing the State of Indiana to construct a road through the public lands from the Southern Bend of St. Joseph's river, by Fort Wayne to Lawrenceburgh, in said State. Also a road from a point on the Ohio State line, west of Oxford, by Liberty, New Castle, Muncirtown, and Goshen, to the northern boundary of the Slate of Indiana, and of granting to the State of Indiana each alternate section of the unappropriated public lands through which said road may pass, on each side thereof for the construction of the same. The vindictive Senator. Mr. Clav speaks, in his letter to Gov. Barbour, of the "misrule" which threatens to subvert ''established institutions," and "to bring disgrace and ruin upon the country." Language like this ought to be left to the lowest scavengers of party abuse. It is unworthy of a candidate for the Presidency. It wa3 predicted that Mr. Clay's vindictive feelings would master him soon after his arrival at Washington. "Misrule," "disgrace '' "ruin! !" These are fine terms to be applied to a President, by his "constitutional adviser!" Mr. Claypromised that he would represent the whole state of Kentucky. Thus he redeems his promise! The letter in question was written, probably, from his desk, in the Senate chamber. Cincinnati Rep. Horse Stealing. William Misener, a lad under 1G years of age, was convicted at the Court of Sessions held in this villiage last week, Judge Soper presiding, of horse Etealirg. The prisoner was sentenced to confinement, on account of hn youth, in the House of Rtjfuge in the city of N-w York. Ulster Sentinel.

Tlie Slave Trade in Cnia. A gentleman who has lately arrived here from Trinidad de Cuba, states that the Slave Trade is carried on openly, and that while he was there a ship entered the port, and reported her cargo; finding there was no danger from our cruizers, she proceeded a short distance from the town, and landed 512 slaves, receiving every assistance from the importer's friends on shore. Two brigs had also a few weeks previously landed about an equal number at the same place! and it is strongly insinuated that these vessels have been fitted out for the horrid trade by the British capitalists, who are deeply interested in the cultivation of foreign sugar, to the ruin of the unfortunate Colonists of Great Britian. Jamaica Paper. "The Siamese Cats. A friend of ours from the country brought to town a few days since, one of the most singular and unnatural curiosites that we have ev er met with. It is a cat, or cats we don't know which to call it having one neck, connected together halfway down the body, then branching out and forming two distinct, so far as they go, perfect bodies. This strange animal has eight legs, four ears, two mouths, and but one throat. The

curious can have an opportunity of examining it, as it has been left at our office for public inspection for a few days. Winch ester Virgin ia n. Jackson A'ational Convention, The friends of the re-election of Andrew Jackson, in the Legislature of South Carolina, had a meeting recently at Columbia, and re-nominated the eld patriot and also apponted eleven del egates to attend the Convention next May, to nominate a candidate for Vice President. About G5 members attended the nullification party attempted to defeat the meeting, but were themselves defeated. West-Jersey Observer, The Sultan has at length established a newspaper at Constantinople to be printed half Tuikish and half French and ha9 imported a Napier Press and an Editor. If his highness detects any of his cotemporaries cribbing the news from his columns, their escape will not bo as comfortable and as clamorous as some we know. A newspaper at Byzantium, conducted on free principles will 6oon produce a revolution among the Moslems. J". Y. Courier. Tun Vice Presidency. The people are begining to inquire who is most likely to receive the nomination of the Democratic party for Vice President of the United States. Wo believe the Hon William Wilkins, ot this State, and the Hon. It. M. Johnson, cf Ken tucky, are the most prominent individuals spoken of for that otlice. Their political career have been signalized by an unwaveiing attachment to republican piiaciples and the best iutere&ts of thair country. Until now we have been sihnt on this subject ; but as a nomination will shortly be made, it is but right that we should avow our pre dilections. So far as we are enabled tojudgfl, we believe the Jackson party are decidedly in favor of Mr. Wilkins, who we shall be glad to support, should he be nominated. Pcnn. Intel. A system of complete organization of the National Republican party has been matured and adopted, extending to every State, county ant! town in j the United States. 10,000 copies oil me addresses and proceedings of the Convention are to be forthwith published at Washington.
