M., Gen. HYACIN TH LASSELLH, in the Goth year of his age. The deceased was one of the first settlers of the North Western Territory, having removed to the Wabash eo in'.rv in thevear IT'.i?. The country adjoining Logansport, which was a wilderness 15 years since, was the scene of his boyish rambles w hen a youth. In 17U? he built a trading house on the Wabash, near the Big Yermillion, where he remained, occasionally trading on the different points of the upper Wabash until lSd3, when he removed 10 Vipcennes. This latter place continued to be his residence until he removed to Logan-sport in the spring of 1 8-i3. During the late War with Great Hritain lie took an active pit in service of fiio country, and was always found where there was danger. w hen 11 o-'come necessary to raise a company of Rangers to protect Yineennes and the suirounding countrv from the en croachments of the hostile Indians, h was one of the first to volunteer his ser vices. When Col. then Capt. Taylor was promoted for his heroic and successful defence of Fort Harrison, he was appointed to the command of the fort. During, and since ihe war, he has filled several important stations with honor to himself and to his country. In his social relation', the urbanity and kindness of his manners rendered him a pleasant companion to all with w hom he associated. As a friend, he was ever generous and true, and in the domestic circle, he was possessed of all those virtues which diffuse happiness on all those within its influence. He was buried with military honor; and the esteem with which he was regarded was testified by the large concourse of citizens by whom his remains were ac companied to the grave.

Approved, January 2S 1813. SAML. RIGGER. Correspondence of the Baltimore Pariot. Washington, Jan. 23, 1813. MR. CALHOUN AM) THE PROPOSED LOCO FOCO CON VENTION AN A P. PEAL AGAINST MR. BENTON. A curious Pamphlet has made its appearance here, entitled, "An appeal to the Democratic Party on the principles of a national convention for the nomination of President and Yice President of the Uniied Ou.c.5. It i- urulerelood to In from the pen of the Hot;. R. H.r.w kll Riiettt, a representative from South Carolina; and will be found to contain abundant evidence that the greft design of ihe writer is to advance the interest of .Mr. Calhoun. He sets out with declaring the notorious fact that "the party j (democratic) is divided both in opinion and feeling as to the womauais wno are best sble to represent and carry cut their principles in the administration on the Government" and, further on, he rdds that for the first time sinco the system of nominating by a National Convention has been tried, has there been any difference in theDemocratic party as to the President. Thus, in the Convention preparatory to General Jackson s second term, the party was united unanimous as to the President, and divided only as to the Yice Presidency. Mr. Ynn Huren and Mr. r VYilkins being the most prominent can didates. Again, in the next Convention, there was no difference as to the Chief Magistracy, for the friends of Jud White refused to go into Convention. Hut there was a difference as to the v u e Presidency: and Col. Johnson was lifted to that office over Mr. Rives, of Yirginia. In the last Convention held in 1S1' Mr. Van Huren was agfiin the unanimous choice for the highest office of the Government; but the Convention differing as to the second office, and fearful of the weakness of its authority," forbore to make anv nomination. The power, then, of a National Convention in uniting "the l artv, anel enabling to present an unbroken front to their politic al adversaries as to the contest for the Presidency is therefore now to be tried for the first time. This writer treats with very little ceremony the famous Van Huren Convention of 183G. He declares that not only was there no uniform system of representation in its organization, but that there was no system and representation. "Every one knows," says he, "that a Yice President was made by a Mr. Rucker, who, accidentally being in Haltimoro w hen the Convention met, went into it, and gave for him seventeen votes: those to which Tennessee was entitled: and these secured him the nomination. This is rather an awkard fiin at Col.Johhson and Mr. Van Huren too. He then proceeds to review the three forms, w hichjbesides a self constituted representation, have been generally used. 1st. Delegates have been appointed through the instrumentality of State Conventions called for the purpose. 2d. The- have been appointed by State Legislatures, or party caucuses thereof. 3. They have been sent directly from counties, towns or districts. The writer argues strongly against the two first, as leading to the suppression of the popular will, proscription, and exclusion; and he advocates the last method as the only one consistent with sound repupublican and constitutional principles. He thinks the voice of the people must be taken in parts to obtain the whale. n-ippnse one hundred thousand oters in

Slate sixty thousand being of one narty,

and 40 thousand being of the other. Take the sense ot the whole aggregately, am; the sixty thousand rule, and the forty thousand are ruled. The lal'.er are not only not heard, but their numerical force may be used to place a man over them as their ruler, whom they distrust, abhor, and fear. But take ihe sense of this State in parts of a thousand each, the forty thous and will be heard in the General Assem bly with other Stares, and may be part e f a majority in the whole Union. lo ena ble as many as possible to rede themselves, is the principle of a Democratic representation This is the principle sought to be enioreed, although very improperly, in sending delegates from towns and counties to the Convention. Such is the reasoning of Mr. Ruett in favor cf the third method; but he admits that it is vain to act on it unless it should be generally adopted, for when comimr in contact with the ot .er two methods above mentioned, it is too weak to be pursued. Yet, he concludes it must be adopted if the convention is to be organized in conformity to the spirit of the constitution, or the supremacy of the People. Having thus settled ihe mode of appointing Delegates, the writer next proceeds to consider the time when the Convention should assemble. And here the hinds of Mr. Calhoun are most distinctly seen. It is well known that Mr. Henton and other leading friends of Mr. Van Huren, are anxious for an early meeting of the Convention; and have even gone so far as to contend that the choice of the mass of the party has been already sufficiently indicated, and ihai all differences will be closed by nominating Mr Van Huren forthwith. It is equally well known that the friends of Mr. Calhoun are op posed to any such "premature and hurried movement." Mk. Rhett had the design of the Van Huren men in his mind, evidently, when he wrote thus: "It will not do to say the people have made up their min Is in favor of particular individuals; and that therefore the Convention should at once assemble. Respect for the people requires that the Convention should have their latest and maturest judgment." Resides, ;:sks Mr. R. very pertinently, if they have made up their minds, what harm can waiting do? Does not haste look like lurking fear that the people might change? Hut if they have not male up their minds, (he contends) the Cenvenion ought not to assemble. It is net earned to choose for the people, or instruct them how to choose, but to give forth their choice. Then, as to "closing differences,- w hat are these dilferences but developments of the popular will? The writer urges thi point most vigorously, as if lie Iih ! Henton and the Globe and the rest of the Van Hnrenites before him. All that follows, is. doubtless, intended for them: "These differences show the people ere speaking: thatisall. Does this olftnd you? V,n assured you can neither suppress the people's voice, nor force down upon them one whom they shall noi choose to ruie oer them; and all attempts to forest;: 11 their judgements and anticipate the.r choioe, will eventuate in defeat, disaster and disgrace." He concludes this subject with the emphatic declaration that: "ihe latest period consistent with subsequent voting at the polls, and the action of tho eieclorial colleges, is that which, on this point, will harmonize all difference s, and which every sound principle of Democracy demands;"' and this significant warning: "Xo true friend of the Convention of the people should insist on terms which outrage the conscience and militate against the plancst principles of duty to the people and the Constitution. Let those rrho insist vpon such terms take (he rrsjxoisili'lty, and attempt not to charge it upon other si" I have thought proper to give this account of a document which will be cairulated with great pains and industry throughout the Union, among our adversaries. It illustrates the suspicious jealousies, and rivalries existing in their ranks: and. in an especial manner, how busily the w ire pullers here, of whom I have heretofore, spoken, are at work. Thousands of copies of this "appeal" have been already sent, under frank, by the mails into different sections. I must finish this notice without quoting a passage describing the style of man the writer deems required by the times for our Chief Magistrate: He must be not only pure himself, but to make others pure not only of good in tentions, but of resolute will not only of! correct, iieu general principles aneJ personal firmness, but like a great leader 011 a battle field, capable of breathing his ow n high spirit into all whom he may call to aid in the great work of redeeming the country from the wretched political quack ery anel teeming at -use w hich long, years of false legislation have engendered." Wrho can be meant? It is certainly a high portrait but where shall we find a likelinesg to it in the Democratic' party? re,cno answers 'where; Removals in the Custom-Uouac. We heard that seven officers of the Custom were removed on Saturday, and that about eleven, or some such number, were removed on luesday, or will be in a day or two. We also hear that many, if not the most of ihese removals are made on the ground of political oninion. or for refusing to contribute to support the union newspaper. 1'crhaps other reasons may be publicly given but these are the real ones. New appoinments have been made to till up these vacancies taken principally from the "Guard." This movement has created a great Ti nt 8ni0n tlrB porter shops and small politicians but we c!on t xv t see .-inv reason lTnUal, n,t , " . m thi

for subscriptions, the 'Union must give up the ghost. Some of the CustomHouse oiHers are green enough to refuse to subscribe to the Union, and say that ihe following oath pr vents them: ..j Inspector of the Cus tom House for the District cf New York, do hereby certify, 0:1 oath, that 1 havo performed the services stated in the annexed account; that 1 have received the full sum therein charged, to my own use and benefit; and that I have noi paid, deposited or assigned, nor contracted to pay, depesite or assign, any part of such compensation, to the use of any other person; tier in anyway, directly or indirectly, pr.id or given, nor contracted to payor give, any reward or compensation for ony office or

All this is sheer subterfuge. If we, belonging to the 'guard,' don't make the most of the offices now in our hands, and swallow oaths, spoils, and every thing, we never will have another chance after 1844. Every man that refuses to py over 850 or $100 to support the Union, or is not a full-blooded 1 yler man, should be removed at once. This is the only way to get along with any degree of hope or success. Tle plivsic begins to work at Inst. Captain T icr intends to purify the Custom-Houses, post offices, and every iranch ot the government. 1 iiev make a noise but who cares for that? We, of the guard' have the spoils for two years and one month, and we shall hold on. X. Y. Herald. - Defeat cf tho Hschequor-'Strcnjrth oftho Guard Developed.
