Nothing could exceed the respec rabilitv of this meeting Composed of intelligent St independent citizens it faithfully imaged forth the bod by which it was delegated. Th proceedings were unanimous, and the nomination*'of Mr. Adams a? President, & Mr. Rushes candidate for the Vice-Presidency, was receiv ed there, as we trus^it will be ever where, with sincere satisfaction We publish in this day's paper the ad dress issued on this occasion, which we commend to the perusal of our readers as a document abounding ii ooii sense, blended with a becom tig temperance.

The i.ite report of Mr. Rush has placed him before the citizens of Pennsylvania,and ofjthe other Manu 'acturing States, in a prominent and popular attitude. He lias shown himself the able and ardent friend ut Domestic Manufactures. He has sustained the interests of the north en, Middle, and Western States,

with a .talent which entitles him to the respect, and an ard/»r which gives the strongest claim on the affection of those States. On him, therefore, beyond any other person, may Pennsylvania* the Eastern State.-', and the wsst, unite as their candidate lor Vice president.

The Delegates to this Convention brought the most cheering intelligence from all p\rts ol the State, that chaoses were daily occurring in favor of the Administration and the general belief at Harrisburg was, that the nomination would be sane-

We noticed,.with no small concern, with what a* malignant spirit Mr. Crawford was persecuted, previous to the last}Presidential canvass but the manner in which Mr. Clay has been assailed, cxceeds any occurrence that we have ever kuoivn recorded of any nation, towards an individual, where the foot-steps of civil ized man have dared to claim the supremacy.

of these Slates, will read Mr

The man that can turn his back on such mass of I estimonv, is ii maliciously blinded or ignorantly in toxicatcd, with the frantic idea that militarv qualifications are the grand prerequisite of a statesman, and is to be viewed as the only noble work ol a superintending Piovidencc.

Joss of the Xorlhern Mail.— On the nig), of the 19th,the U.S..Mail Steam Packet, with the great Northern Mail from Mobile on board, was totally destroyed by fire. At 1 clock, she arrved at the Harbor, opposite the hotel of Mr. Elk»ns,and a little after 2, was discovered to be on fire. The captain, crew and passengers, had barely time sufficient to allow them to get ashore, leaving the mail, the baggage o.t the passengers, and every thing on board the boat, a prey to the flames, which had already spread on all sides. ."The captain £ys that the boat must have been set on fire bv an incendiary, as it broke out in in the stem and stern at the same moment.

Protection of Manufactures It il| be seen by the Legi«lattve reo„rt, that Mr. Wingston of the SenJte ha» submitted a resolution (wh,cl' course one .lay on the table,)

instructing our Senators, and nuesting our Representatives .oCongress to endeavor to procure wcr e,l protection to Agriculture and

Tire British Governajent Nimble, which chased the Spanish slave vessel ashore at Carysfort Keel, on cirriving at Ksy West, demanded the slaves brought there by the wrecking sloop Surprise, but the Col lector refused to give tbem up, until he could be instructed on the subject by our Government, and the Nimble sailed for Havana without tbem about the 28th ult We understand that a good deal of excitement wat produced at Key West by the corres-

pondence which took place between the British commander and the collector. When the Spanish crew took possession and cut the cables of the wrecking vessels which had on| board 300 of the slaves, (as before! stated,) they were fired upon by the Nimble, but as she had lost her rudder, they were enabled to escape.

About $10,000 worth of merchandise, saved from the |slave brig, was brought to Key West, and taken pos session of by the Collector.*

The following gentlemen were nominated to form an Electoral Picket, favorable to the re-election of John Quincy Adam8, to the ot fice of President of the U. States— to be supported by all friendly to the old Democratic policy of improving our own internal resources, so as to supply our own wants, independent of Great Britain or any other Foreign nation, either in time of peace or war.
