7INCEMNE S, November 27, 1824. Presidential Kle ct ion. At last I have, by the politeness of capt. Joseph Warner, received the returns of every county in the state upon the Presidential election, I have not time to give the vote in detail JACKSON has the vote of the state by a majority of two thousand and twenty eight votes over Clay. The citizens of this place, were again alarmed by the cry of FIRE, on Thursday night last it proceeded from a back building, of Mr. F. Dickson, on Market street, in the centre of business, and for a time seemed to threaten destruction to the most flourishing part of the town and when I reflect upon our unprepared situation it is really matter of astonishment how it was saved. A meeting of the citizens of the place is requested at the Inn of col. Greater, on this evening, at candle light, for the purpose of adopting aome plan to be prepared for future emergencies. The following is the result of the election in the 1st Congressional district in this state, for a member to the 18th Congress.

Two counties yet remain to be heard from, both of which it is supposed has given Mr. Blake a majority. Jacob Call is elected by a majority of about 20 votes. Bv a gentleman just arrived from Vandalia, 111. Iam informed that Mr. Mc. Clean of Shawneetown, has been elected to the Senate of the United States, in place of Ninian Edwards, resigned. Mr. Owen, of Lanark, in Scotland, well known for his extensive philanthropy and political science, has purchased the celebrated establishment of the Harmonists, and is about to remove, as we suppose, with a colony, to the United States. He himself, has just arrived at New York. Nues. The papers are much occupied with detailed melancholy accounts oi the interment of the late king of France, and of the rt-joiceings of the people because of the succession! Neither is of any very great importance to us 1 The Greeks go on gloriously. With their fire ships, they assaulted the Turkuh fleet as it was about to proceed against Samus burnt three frigates and cap ured two brigs of war! The rest of the fleet was dispersed, 5c many of them so much damaged, that it is said, ail the troops on board peiished. Another account says that the Turk had effected a landing on Samos before the defeat of their licet, and that, aftci it was defeated, they landed and assisted the Samians in putting all the Turkish soidiers who had landed to
the sword. The Turks lost thirty vessels, besides three frigates, captured or destroyed by the Greeks. Niics. WHAT I'VE SEEN. I've seen worth humbled and unworlhincss exalted; yea, even so, that the last was first, and the first was last. I hav e seen men of no intrinsic merit, rising on the tide of fortune, and running with the populer current of the day, until by dint of impudence St perseverence they've grown into consequence. I have seen those who weic least efficient, in times of danger, most boisterous on the subject of military achievements. I have seen persons far more attentive to the concerns of their neighbor, than their own, and prying into private affairs for the worst of purposes. I have seen an affectation of benevolence covering the lowest cunning, and the darkest intrigue; yea verily a wolf in shecps clothing. 1 have seen a little animal so inflated with pride, as to be almost full to bursinu:. It resembled a man too! But the resemblance was so that it passed as often for a monkey as for a man I hate seen men put on airs of war
and bloodshed, who would almost run from a lizard. I have seen men who were "all things, unto all men, and 1 have seen all men suspicious of them. I have seen men strive to exalt one whom they knew to he unworthy, merely for the Purpose of depressing a rivalI have seen Mobocracy triumph, where Liberty, Religion and Order were the boast; where the people laid claim to refinement, but where the nameEsq." was an Index to debauchery, drunkenness, riot, perjury, and every vice of the age. I have seen enough'of this wicked world, its actings, and doings to cause me to exclaim, in the language of a
blackman, 44 n kite folk very onsartan.
A client in the English Courts applied to Lord Mansfield in his own person, For
a new trial, and being desired to state his reasons, gave as the firs, that his Lordship was asleep during the whole trial. We are hot sufficiently versed in the law, to pronounce whether this instance can be adduced, to prove the truth of a com mon saying of the came noble Judge, "that the man who pleaded his own cause, had a fool for a client:" but viewing the subject through the mere medium of common sense, wc should think the unfortunate suitor made out a good case. N Y. American. Admiral Duncan's address to the officers who came on board his ship for instructions, previous to the engagement with Admiral de Winter, was both laconic and humorous: Gentlemen, you see a severe Winter approaching; I have only to advise you to keep up a good fire
