Of the votes oF tlic people, gen. Jackson received 154,634 ; Mr. Adams, 105,203; Mr. Crawford, 47,685 by which it appears gen. Jackson received a majority of the whole.. Of the electors chosen by the state Legislaturcs, gen. Jackson received only 15, and Mr. Adams 36. In the states of Maryland, N. Carolina, Louisiana, Illinois, and Mississippi, gen. Jackson received 30 votes, Mr. Adams only seven but when the election came before the House of Representatives, neither of these states gave him their support. However this may have been effected, whether by bargain, intrigue St management, or by whatsoever means, it was in violation of those fundamental principles, without which our government is a mere gilded nothing a libel on republicanism and in comparison with Adam's much loved British constitution and government, is its interior. It is for you, in the coming election, to say whe
ther you will submit to this state of things ; whether you will by your vote sanction measures thus destructive of those principles the best blood of the land has been freely poured Forth to maintain. It is for you in this election to say whether your fathers have died in vain; whether you are willing to take the name for the substance ; the Republican government which was at a dear price won for you, or this mockery, this shadow of God's highest boon, a free and pure government This is no fictiont Icllow citizens, we assure you we speak the words of soberness St truth. We have endeavored in our address to reason with you we seek not to arouse your passions. Of our opponents in this political struggle, we have been careful to say nothing that could be left unsaid. In conclusion, vc ask you to read, to examine for yourselves to examine into the conduct of the friends of Mr. Adams, and satisfy yourselves whether they arc really the friends of the tariff; whether they are not now opposing the system that you have been told was their chief object. Wc are willing you should leave gen. Jackson the moment your are convinced he is opposed to the protection of the Farmer and the Manufacturer. o: i&:& :-:- By accounts from Madras of the 18th of October, it appears that hostilities have been commenced against the Rajah of Kalaporc. Kalapore is situated in the province of Heja-
pore, and distant about 180 miles south ofj jia,inm
Jiombay, and nearly 5'0 miles northwest ol
Madras. A strong ghurry hitherto deemed impregnable, had been reduced by the I t i tish forces. A demand is said to have been made by the Russian government, for a port in the Modi terrancan. The British government, it is ad ded, hesitate in acceding to this demand ; ami it has been suggested that Russia would pro bably take forcible possession of Milo, an island and harbor well calculated for the purposes of the Car. .Vat. Journal.

Though I am informed it is not as perfect as the) could wish, yet still, when it is considered that we arc entirely unpiovided with machinery pioptt to mould and fin ish the iion work, the tcsull is really extraordinary.

tnenccd this system of operation about the middle of April 18 1 5, and pursued it with un remiitin r care and attention, without variation, in a very few days from the commencement of the operation, the patient began to realize the beneficial effects of it ; her appetite was restored ; her pain was gradually cradi cated ; she rapidly gained strength, both in body and limbs ; so that in less than six weeks the defective ankle was entirely healed and sound, and her health and strength completely restored. It is now almost tw years since this apparent cure was effected, and wc have the greatest consolotion of learning from her, that she has not felt a single twinge of the disorder since that period ; wc do therefore confidently hope, it will never return. Mrs. Varnurn now enjoys remarkable good health, for a person ol her age. Some people may object to making a thorough experiment, in
