"MPs fair in politics." Noah. Trick. In the Leger ofthe 2Cthult.an

article was inserted, copied from the New

(York American, denying the assertion that

Mr. Adams is a slave holder, and relating the manner in which Mr. Crawford eman

cipated his slaves. This article has been

opied into the Vevay Kegister witn tnc

following addition incorporated in the bo

dy of the article: 3-"When the subscription paper was

handed to Mr. Clay, he gave the poor jlack fellow FIVE DOLLARS."!!!!

The article as originally published in

Jiew York contained no such sentence; it

has been republished in several of the west

ern papers without any such addition, and

the natural conclusion is that it was added

bv the editor at Vevay. Such tricks will found generally to do more injury than

good, and if it is necessary to resort to such shallow artifices to support Mr. Clay, the editor had better drop him. It is suggest-

(1 to Mr. Kean how he can reconcile such

deceptions with his duty to his patrons, or

to Lis own conscience.

Philadelphia, Aug. 10. One of the prettiest touches of feeling of which we have lately heard, was witnessed in the conduct of certain Indians from the interior who some years ago visited our city. When the statute in the Hospital yard was pointed out to them as the figure of Miquot or William Penn, they all with one consent fell down on their knees before it

thus testifying in the strongest manner !

in their power their reverence for the character of one of the few white men who have treated their race with humanity. It was not an exhibition got up for effect it was the result of a hurst cf feeling deeply implanted feeling which neither time nor distance had been able to eradicate. It had descended from father to son, had been cherished in the western wil U, an evinced itself in the midst of civilized society, by the strongest of natural bigus of reverence. I'hil. Gazette.

Canandaigca, (N. Y.) Au?. 13, 1824. We have to-dav, had a specimen of the public feeling in this part of the country, respecting the conduct of the Senate at their late session. On entering the common in Waterloo the first object that attracted our attention was two man swinging from a gallows; approaching nearer, we found them labelled Ftagg ond Green. On the arrival of the stage here last evening, it was no sooner known that it contained Redfield and other of the scv fnrcn, than the bells commenced tolling, and in 10 minuets, some hundreds were assembled. Mr. R. thought it prudent to clear out. The people, however soon pursued, and after serenading him at his lodgings, (about 3 miles from this) they burnt him in etfigy before the houc. It is said most of the members from this part of the state, have taken the canal to avoid the villages. I understand, howev er, the Rochester boys are prepared to give them a suitable reception on theirarrival tiicre. "P. S. Batnvia. A few more specimens of public indignation. At Leroy, Mr. Redfield's own village, he was burned yesterday, in a great stle. Indeed, I do not believe an individual in this district, dare to advocate the conduct of the senate. "

From the Cincinnati Gazette. Dayton and Cincinnati Canal. There is no subject of a domestic nature so deserving the attention of the people of the Miami country, as the projected Canal from tiiis place to Dayton. We

have already given a general sketch of1 the adva:itage which would result from j the completion ofsuch a woik. There is !

'iot a man in the whole region ot country through which the canal would pas-, let his occupation or profession be what it may, that would not either directly or indirectly be benefited by it. The interests of the city and country would be equally promoted; and as the subject will be acted upon at the next session of our Legislature, it is important that the people should ex mih e it, with a view to instruct their represe':tatives how to proceed. For ourselves, we have no hesitation in sa inrr, that everv representative from this county ousht to he chosen in reference to this canal. Let it be a test of the election: and let no man who is opposed to it, or who is passive or lukewarm, be sent to the assembly. We wish it to be understood by the people that the route of the canal has been surveyed and located. Its practicability i ascertained; in fact the Engineers declare that thev have seldom found a country so favourable to the cheap and easy construction of canal?. The supply of water is abundant, and rbe whole cost of the work will be much less than that of canals of the same length in other parts of the union. Calculations on this head will be laid before the community we understand in a short time. The water privileges to which we alluded in a former notice, will he of immense importance. From Middlctown to the upper plain of this city, there are 87 feet of lockage, disposed of by locks of 8, 10, and 12 feet left along the valley of Mill Creek, from a point 2 miles north of Springfield to White's Mills, which are about 10 miles from this place. The water power thus afforded on that section of the canal will be abundant for all the purposes of Manufactories, in a region now de-j pendent on Mill Creek; which in summer is so nearly destitute of water as to make it necessary to resort to thii Mills of the Miamies. At various other points large factories can he established and the water again thrown into the canal. From the upper plane of this city, to high water mark on the Ohio, is a large descent to be got over by locks. Along these a succession of manufactories can be established, receiving a water power from the canal sutHcient to carry one hundred and four sets of large Burr mill 6tones. This has been ascertained by accurate cal-1 culation. The oer could be applied

Jczv-York, Aug, 1 Cannibals. loseph Price, of Wilr ton, Del. has arrived at Boston in the tana, from London, and furnished our respondent with the following. He shipped on board the gen. Ga Boston, on the 7th of Aug. 132 1, bom a scaling voyage, and sailed from Hi Town, Van Deiman's Land, the 10th tiie 21st. he, with five others, (John . ter,of London; 'James Webster and Rawson, of New-London ; and Win. Si and James West, both of New-Yet were lauded on the coast of New-Zealan j in a whale boat, with a quantity of provis

ions, where they remained sealing and

procured 3503 skins. j On the 11th Oct. they were taken by the natives between 10 and 11 o'clock at night, who set fire to their huts, and consumed all their skins and provisions remaining, not knowing their use; tied their hands behind them, and they were marched to Looking-glass bay, a distance of upwards of 150 miles, during which time they had nothing to eat, but roasted fish, which the natives subsist upon. From thence thev were marched to Sandy Bay, upwards of 200 miles further, where they four da tribe of savages consisting of between 700 and 800, who took them before theK ing and Queen,and short! v after Roister was ordered to be killed. They tied him to a tree, knocked himon the head with dubs, cut off his head and buried it; the body was roasted in a kind of oven under ground, alter which it was devoured by these cannibals; part of which however, the remaining five were obliged to partake of or starve, not having any thing else offered them. They were tied to a tree and guarded by about fifty of the savages. The second day Webster was killed, roasted and devoured ; the 3d day Rawson, and tno 4th day, Smith shared the same fate. On d evouring the bodies of these men, the hands were assigned to the Queen, and the feet to the King, and his subjects took care of the trunk. On the 5th day it was understood W est was to he killed, but the evening previous a heavy squall rose from the east, with rain, thunder and lightning which frightened the savages; they set up a veil and ran towards the west. Price and West untied each other and went towards the beach where they found the whale boat, (having been brought round by the savages,) :ail and oars, and without provisions or water, embarked and left the Lland. After being at sea three days they were taken up by the brie Maguary, captain White, and landed at Sidney, New Smith whales, the 10th Nov. whence Price obtained passage to the Isle of France, thence to London. West was left sick in the hospital at Sidney. Gaz. ELECTORS OF PRESIDENT. FOR JOIIX qULVCY ADAMS. David H Maxwell, Jesse L. Hoiman, Christoph r Harrison, I.aac Blackford, James Scott, Jas. S .owden.
