To A. Stevenson and others, officers of the Baltimore Convention. Great Crossings. 9th June. 1835 Cenifemcn: I have had the honor to receive your itucr, liuorming me that 1 had been nominated by the recent Republican Convention at Baltimore, as a candidate lor the office of V ice President. .For this expression of confidence from the Republican party of the Union, I have not language to .express my gratitude. For the exalted talents, pure character, and sound principles of the gentleman, whose name was brought in competition with mine, no man can have a higher respect than myself; and had he been preferred by the Convention, it would have afforded me the highest pleasure to give him my cordial support. To my greater age and longer public service, and not to superior qualifications, can I attribute the preference of the Convention; and if any injury should accrue to the Republican cause from that preference, no man will deplore it more than myself. As, however, the Convention were undoubtedly better qualified to judge on that point, than one or a few individuals possibly can be, I have but to accept the proferred nomination, and resign myself to the will of the People, as it may be expressed at the polls. The gratification I feel at the honor done me is not unmingled with regret a regret, arising not from the preference by a portion of -ujg convention, but trorn an error under which they appear to have laboured in relation to my political principles. I do not know myself if my principles do not accord with those of Thomas Jefferson, the Patriarch of Republicanism, and his disciples who constituted the late convention. During almost the whole period comprised in the Administrations of JefTerson, Madison, and Monroe, I was a member of Congress, and gave to them my cordial support. From the earliest moment I uniformly acted with the Republican party, founded on the principles asserted by Virginia in 179S, and never withheld my tupport on any occasion, from either of the distinguished men, who, in succession, became the representatives of these principles at the head of the Government, save only in the struggle of 1814, '15 and '10, for the establishment of a National Bank. President Madison then, and many of my Republican associates in Ccngress, who concurred with mo in principle, felt themselves constrained to yield up their objections to what they considered the highest law public necessity. I continued to believe the remedy worse than the disease. I had voted against the recharter of the United States Hank, in 1811, from a conviction of its dangerous tendencies as well as its unconstitutionality. Upon the same grounds I felt constrained to vote against the establishment of the present Bank cf the United States, in 131G, although advocated by the Administration to Which I was attached. I voted against the bill to recharter the Bank, in 1832. In 1834, I voted for Mr. Polk's resolution, declaring, that the Bank of the United States ought not to be reehartered, cud I defended the President's measure, in regard to the removal of the Public Deposites, at every point at which it was assailed, with a view to sever tha counexion between the" Government and the Bank, and to make sure of a final deliverance from the Institution. Indeed, I have never wavered in my opinion against its constitutionality, and have never seen the moment when I would have given my vote for any similar institution. I cannot conceive Ii6w the opinion got abroad that I was in favor of the Bank, or any such unconstitutional monopoly, unless it be from the circumstance that I did not, with 'the ardour of younger politicians, pledge myself against every possible substitute for the present Bank. General Jackson, in one of his annual messages, suggested the outline of a substitute without stockholders, or power to make leans, as I understood it; and in his veto message, he declared that he could have furnished a plan which would not be liable to constitutional objections. Many of las friends believed that it would be absolutely necessary to have some substitute, and suggested a variety of schemes. To all these I listened, without giving my assent to any; and never for a moment did I harbour a thought of proposing or supporting any one, except in the event of a failure in the experiment to use the Stale banks; and then only such a scheme as should be entirely free from constitutional objections, and have the approbation of the Administratioa and the Republican party. The recent developments of . the power of doing mischief possessed bv a National Bank, and the un controllable tendency to use this power to direct the j politics of the country, have satisfied me that no; such institution should bo tolerated, under any circumstances. The facility and success with which the public business has recently been done through the State Banks, have, in my opinion, proved that a National institution is as unnecessary as it is unsafe and unconstitutional. 4 In relation to the tariff, my views appear also nut to be understood. At the close cf the last war, the general sentiment seemed to prevail among our eminent statesmen, especially those who had supported the Government in that conflict, that it was the true policy of the Government so to regulate the tariff, as to promote the establishment of manufactures, within our borders. In this opinion, many of the statesmen from the South united with those of the middle and western states. Without being distinguished as a peculiar advocate of the course of legislation which grew up under these circumstances, I gave it my support in pursuance of public opinion. As soon, however, as I perceived the dangers which were likely to grow out of this species of legislation, pushed to excess, I became an advocate for the reduction of the tariff, and voted for every proposition having that end in view, down to and including the compromise which was made at the session of 1832-3. That compromise ought to be considered by all good citizens as putting an end to the question. No prudent and patriotic man will I am sure,- ever attempt a renewal of that species of legislation. For myself, I can sincerely say, that I should consider any attempt of that sort as savorin of enmity to the government, inasmuch as it is unnecessary as a measure cf policy, and would certainly revive a controversy more dangerous to " nur Union than any other which has arisen since tht adoption cfthe Federal Constitution. The pre- " gervation cfthe Uuicn, and the harmony of its mem bers, are incomparably more important than any system of legislation which regards only the pecuniary interests of a portion of the people. The same remarks are applicable, in a great degree, to the subject of internal improvements. In relation to them, it may also be observed, that the Euccessofthe several States, in their prosecution, "and the great local interests vested in them, together with tho consideration that the States manage their concerns with more care and economy than the General Government, are persuasive arguments against Federal interference in them hereafter, beyond such works as are universally conceded to be f a National character. vIn fine, I consider the views of President Jackson, oxl he Tariff and Internal Improvements, as foundf true wisdom; and, as far as I may hereafter ? cuMed. it will be mv earnest endeavor to give thei, cgjca cv jn tj e administration of the Go vernmcntX

i On these leading Etibiects. I frit it mvdutv to

touch, because it seems to have been erroneously apprehended by some, that I would be disposed to use the influence ot high official station, to restore an expiring Monolopoly, and certain mischievous systems ot policy which experience has exploded ii ib morinying to me, Mat sucn an impression should have obtained any credence whatever, since tne steady, though not boisterous suDDort. which have given to the President in his persevering and successful warfare on those systems. So far from entertaining any such design or desire, I look upon myselt as selected by the Convention, for the pur pose of aiding to make permanent the principles and policy in the administration of our Government, which have recently been sanctioned bv such deci ded marks of public approbation, and to which I am pledged alike by inclination and duty. On other subjects, a public life of thirty years' uninterrupted activity, has, I trust, been sufficient to enable my countrymen to understand my princi pies and my motives of action. I believe nb man will charge me with dereliction of duty towards my country, or my countrymen. In devotion to my country, no one will say that I have been wanting; and I trust that mine has not been "a faith without works." My constituents have never charged me with neglect of their interests, collectively or indi vidually; and, to an American citizen, complaining of wrong, and asking the aid of a friend, wherever residing, or however poor, unknown and humble, I have never turned a deaf ear, or refused to labor for him as for a brother. To this faithfulness, and these exertions to be useful, more than to any extraordinary qualifications in me, do I attribute the honor which the Convention have done me; and should ; the People respond favorably! to the recom mendation ot that body, my highest political ambition will be more, than satisfied. It will be a confirmation, by the voice of my whole country, of the repeated proofs of approbation, given by the people of my own State, to the well meant labors of a life devoted to the service of the nation. But, whatever may be the fate cfthe recommendation which I have received from the kind partiality of the members of the Convention, coming from almost every State in the Union, as the representatives of the Democratic Party, with which it has been my pride to act, throughout my public career, I phall ever cherish with the most affectionate recollections, a deep sense of the obligation they have conferred. j Ycu will please, gentlemen, to accept the assurances of my high respect and consideration, while I remain, most respectfully, your friend and fellow citizen, R. M. JOHNSON. To Messrs. Andrew Stevexson, President. James Fenner, Edw. Coxbit, Upton S. Heath, Ron. Strange, J. B. Nevitt, Fit an elin, Cannon, Vice Presidents. From the Evening Star. Messrs. Editors In looking over some of the old papers, published in this city about 50 years ago, called the "Weekly Museum," I found the following iErial Excursion recorded, which in the present age for ballooning, may not be (if you think it worthy of a place in your columns) uninteresting to some cf your readers, especially since the late voyage of Mr. Clayton from Cincinnati; who, by the way, was only about G hours in the air, or only half the time. "The following particulars are communicated to the public as indubitable facts, having been sworn to, Bigned, sealed, and transmitted by the Magistrates and High Bailiff of Shafhausen in Switzerland, to their High Mightinesses the States General at Amsterdam. Mayhap some future flight will perfect our knowledge of the various revolutions in the planetary system! Vanderkruitz''s JErial Excursion. Sir. Joseph Dan Vanderkruitz, a Dutchman, took his flight from Amsterdam on Thursday, the 2Gth day of October, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, and ascended with such rapidity, and to so great a height, that at the expiration cf three quarters of an hour he wished to lower himself by opening the valve in the bottom cf the balloon, but perceived to hi9 inexpressible concern, that in the hurry of his departure he had neglected to fix the string to it; and the car being at sixteen feet distance from the balloon, he found it impossible to make any other aperture in it. The machine, therefore, continued to ascend for several hours into the upper regions of the atmosphere, when cur traveller experienced the most intense cold, accompauied with a severe storm, which last ed lor a considerable time. At this immense ele vation, not only the victuals he carried with him were frozen as hard as stones, but some brandy also underwent a similar transmutation. At one time befell into a profound slumber, from which he was awakened by the bruises he received from pieces of ice falling from the balloon! and ho then perceived that the cords by which the car was attached to it, were increased to the size of hawsers by the incrustation and conglomeration cf ice. After a long description of his various situations, follow tho observations made by our hero on the planetary syetcm, which form the most curious and interesting part of our narrative: we have, therefore, extracted them at length in his own words, for the gratification of our readers. "I now saw distinctly the six different planets in their orbits; but the earth appeared very different from the others, resembling the moon in appearance, and being less in size than either of the others. The ten sattelitcs I could also observe, and the 6tars appeared more numerous than I before remarked them. At one period, Venus, Mercury and the Earth were in conjunction, and at another, the moon was obscured by the Earth. The atmosphere grew intensely sultry, and a sickness came upon me. 1 now too fatally per ceived myself verging towards the sun, and a strong sulpnurous smeii anectea tue air, wnicu maue my respiration cumcult. Two eagles flew by witn louu shrieks, and one perched upon tne balloon, but toon. flight aain as soon as it saw the lace ot a human beino-. Violent hissings and loud noises resounded in the air like thunder, and in a short time 1 was involved in a fuliginous vapor. I perceived two streams of fire, which I took to be comets, direct ins their courses different ways, the one being above the other, but the vapor around me becoming more opaque, 1 was soon surrounded with darkness, the sun appearing through the vapor of a scarlet color, as when viewed through smoked glass. I was soon liberated from this situation, and beheld at one view the Sun, Venus, Mercury and the Earth in conjunction. Having attained this immenso eleva tion, 1 had now an opportunity of ascertaining, beyond the possibility of dcubt, the relative situations ana motions ot the planetary world. Alter repeated observations I beheld with astonishment that the Earth, instead of two fold motion, &c. an annual revolution in her orb and a diurnal revolution round her own axis, has in fact niether one nor the other, being absolutely fixed and stationary. I confess I have felt much reluctance (being myself a confirmed Newtonian) in communicating to the world a fact which must necessarily invalidate the present system of astronomy. Amicus Newtonus sed magis Arnica Veritas, I have castaway my prejudices, and with permission cf the States, shall lay beforo the

world such observations as I have been enabled to

mako in the planetary world. Schafuausen, October 22d, 1785. (Signed) Joseph Dan Vanderkhuitz." He landed on the plain of Schafhausen, S50 miles irom Amsterdam, at four o clock on rriday mor ning; so that this intrepid cronaut performed the last flight in less than 18 hours. The discoveries made by him are likely to be dearly bought by his country, by the dangers m which his lite is now placed; the two first fingers of his right hand, three of his toes, the thumb and little linger of his left hand, together with his nose, having already perish ed with cold. Tho Philadelphia arcade sold l ist week for SI 19, 000. The Masonic Hall, Chesnut sireet, with tho glass-works, for Si 10,550, to Mr. Swaim. fortune has dealt most capriciously with the individual who has become the owner ot this S1UU,000 hall. Some fifteen, or certainly within twenty years, Mr. Sicaim, then a journeyman book binder, was althcted with a scrofulous disease which resisted all the ordinary efforts of medicine. After exhaust ing Ins means rf support, and still lingering with what was called an incurable disease, he was taken to the Pennsylvania hospital. While there, he pre pared a medicine, the use of which soon restored urn to perfect health, his constitution unimpaired. Having cured himself, Mr. Sicaim commenced the preparation of his panacea for the benefit cf others. It immediately acquired reputation in Philadelphia, and but a short time elapsed before tho information of its healing virtues soroad through' the union. Soon, too, iis fime crossed the Ailutilic, and Mr. Swaim was solicited by the government of England, to proceed to London, (as he did) and administer s panacea to somo of the members of the royal amily. r or tho last twelve years, the reputation of this panacea lias been rapidly extending. The amount sold is wholly unprecedented. The prufiis of the proprietor have been enormous. Il is hut n ew months since we heard of Mr. Swaim's purchas ing an entire and valuable block in tho heart of the city. Fow lie appeals as the purchaser of a splendid $100,000 hall. We frequently, and with great satisfaction, find his mime associated with the charities of Philadelphia. Perhaps, iu the history ot toe world, there is not another instance of such an extraordinary change of destiny and of fortune an instanco whero a man has been r:.ised hom extreme poverty and hopeless disease, to scund health and princely fortune! Mysterious indeed are the ways of a Providence which raised from his dying pallet in tho Panmsylvania hospital, a patient upon whom tho golden mmile of Stephen Gikaku seems to huvo fallen! All any Etc. Jour. Management tf Peach Trees. It is stated in the . Y. Farmer that Thos Coulter. Esn. of Bedford co. Pennsylvania continues successfully, to cultivate peach trees by the following means, lie sets them out young, at the distance of fifteen feet, and cultivates the ground for two years without any regard to wounding the trees with the harrow and plough. He cuts them down in the spring of the third year even with the ground. They send up several vigorous sprouts which are suffered to grow, and carefully kept from injury. lie now has trees near forty years old, managed in this way. Ou his farm he has several vigorous trees, which have been cut down once or twice in clearing tho fields of brush. Great Land Sale. A public Eale of wild lands, in the north of Maine, belonging to that State and Massachusetts, was made at Bangor on Wednesday of last week, at prices unparalleled in the history of the country. Th3 great demand for timber of late year has caused the wild lands of Maine to advance in value at an enormous rate, doubling with each successive year. A township bought a few years since at twenty cents per acre was sold outright at twehe dollars per acre. A half township appraised by the State at $43,000 was sold for $108,000. The pale was made from the Becond story window of a hotel, before an assemblage of three thousand persons. 1 he purchasers all men cf wealth and enterprise sorv.e firms with a capital of half a miliion and well acquainted with the character and value of their respective purchases. The bare timber on many tracts sold within a few years at less than a dollar an acre, and .now held at five to ten dollars, is estimated to be worth on an average at least $20 per acre. On gome of the territory there were twelve teet oi snow last winter, put no frost in the "ground so that vegetation is much farther advanced than on the seaboard. Jtw Yorker. The trade cfthe West. The village of Cleve land, Ohio, (we are not euro that it is not a city by this time) has grown with a rapidity scarcely equalled even by that of tho quick springing towns aud villages of the west, which are almost daily coming into existence. But a few years ago, tho spot on which it stands was covered with whortleberry and alder bushes. These were cut down, and tho clear spot was called Cleveland. The arrivals at this port aro now not less than eight or ten schooners a day, and a daily newspaper is published there, and we believe well supported. The quantity of tobacco exported from this port is immense. A newspaper oublished in the place states that contracts have been made w;tn the Troy and Lne line of packet boats for the transportation this year of three thou sand hogshead of tobacco, valued at seventy-five dollars per hogshead. A. 1 . times. Mr. Livingston was this day, (Wednesday) visited in the Governor's room, the City Hall, by the city authorities and several hundred citizens. He appeared to bo in excellent health, and enjoyiug his mental and bodily faculties in a much higher state of perfection than generally falls to the lot of men at such an advanced ae. Ho is now on the eve of his 71th year, but in appearance is not more than sixty; speaks with extreme quickness and vivacity, and retains all the elasticity of muscle that miidil bo expected from a man twenty years youn cer. Commodore Elliot was also in the room aud received the hearty greetings cfthe visitors. N. Y. J. Com. The Gift of the Gab. The common fluency o speech inmanv men, and most women, is owing to u scarcity of matter and of words; for whoever i3 master of lansuae, and has a mind full of ideas, will be apt in speaking to hesitate on the choice of both; whereas common speakers have only one set of ideas, and one set of words to clothe them in, and these are always ready, and at the tongue's end. So people come laster out of a public place when it is almost empty, than when a crowd is at the door.

Wich is Rlghtt Mr. Choale, in his Faneuil Hall Speech, pronounced tho government of the United Slates, as now administered, one of the worst that God ever suffered to exist on tho earth. Of course, ono hud better livo in Constantinople than in Boston, or bo starved in Portugal or Russia, than to thrive in New England. That is tho politician's sido of tho picture.. During the week of ihe religious ennivc rsarics in this city, the Itev Mr. Hague made an eloquent address ou missions. Ho said that last year tho appeal to christians fur aid was made with reluctance, but now the prosperity of tho country was so great that charity ought to abound iu proportion,

that we might show gratitude to heaven for making us the hapyicst, freest and mcst prosperous people of the whole earth. Such, ho said, was tho demand for houses in Boston, that it was almost impossible to obtain them to meet tho absolute wants of the population, and wo even fuuud ourselves so'straitencd iu this respect, as scarcely to be ablo to find sufficient room to extend to our friends from abroad the rights of hospitality. What a singular government ours must be tho I worst that ever exited, and yet the wholo commu nity suffering with a plethora cf happiness aud prosperity. Mr. Choate must have queer notions of a good government. Wo thould like to hear his lefmition. Boston Advocate. Tho Alton (Illinois) Spectator says upwards of wenty deaths fiom cholera have tukcu place iu hat town within two weeks.

The Spectator adds tint cholera prevails, to a great er or less- extent, in Edvvardaville, tho American bottom, through the towns cn the Illinois river, and various other places in the slate. In St. Louis, wo learn from tho Daily Herald, that a few cases havo occurred, but it has uot yet taken an epidemic form.
