Magistrate of the Unicn, Is alike necessary to the union and permanency ol the Republican party, and to the honour and welfare of the nation. Reiclvcil, That the recent judicious removals by which our venerated President disembarrassed his councils ot the friends of a firrjected administration, hate placed in stili bolder relief the noble and generous traits of hi character;

tnd that every subsequent effort, on their rrei and admire the magnanimous resig nations ot the Jackson members of his cabinet, we repose entire confidence in the statesmanlike accomplishments and tried patriotism of the newly appointed Secretaries; and confidently anticipate, that, inspired by their illustrious Head, i the administration will go on, prospeting in a triumphant career of wise and patriotic measures. Retolved. That the spirit of our publican institutions, and the usage foun ded thereon, consecrated as it is by the many illustrious incumbents of the offices of President and Vice President, forbid more than one re election of either cf those functionaries; and, that it is therefore incumbent on the Jackson Republican party, to nominate, in due time, a new candidate to rill the second office under the national government. Resolved, Tnat we will support no candidate tor high public office in this commonwealth, whose sentiments disagree with those expressed in the forego ing resolutions. The following notice of an order islued by the President, would not have attracted our attention, if several respec able prints had not have deemed it wor : thy of temark It is very seldom that the correspondent of the N- York Jour rial of Commerce) comes so near the truth: 'The Washington correspondent of the N York Journal of Commerce says: "I saw on Saturday, a curious document, said to have emanated from the Ficsident, and directed to the several heads of Departmcus, requiring 'hem to report evety instance ol the applies tion of a clerk for the bencOt of the insolvent laws. It is understood that no such applicant shall be deemed worthy ol public employment. I do not know why the rule should be confined to clerks -if there be justice or reason in it, it ought to embrace the thousands about the custom houses, post-officeg, land of fices, Sec. 1 do not know that the rule in general is not a good one I will op crate as a security to rA persons with whom they deal, and r nsequently inculcate the habit of I ving uithin their means," Bait Gaz. Some of the officers obtain credit, trrm the stations they occupy, which enables them to run up accounts to large sums in the stores, in the boarding houses, and with the mechanics of the city; and, in--stC3d of discharging these dues, out of the fund upon the faith of which the debts were created, they hae, in many instances, thought fit to pu the salary in their pccksts,and pay off their creditors with the insolvent oath. This specie of injustice has operated with extreme hardship upon many respectable persons, widows and others, whose misfortunes have driven ;hemto the neceseitv o! keening boarding houses, and v?ho have ben beggared by the conduct of this class of persons. uu,.K uiipiucu o, un. auu c, me rrc-, 11,.:. .- . t . r . i : i . i r oi'iviu ivsisitiu mac tii nuiiiu iiui aim himself to the injustice, by continuing ihe persons capable of such impositions in stations, the employments of which enables them to dupe confiding people He, therefore, ordered to be reported to him for dismission', all persons, receiving salaries by virtue of stations confercd by the Executive, who shall take the insolvent oath to release themselves from debts incurred since he came into office. The effect of this measure has been, to induce those among his officers, who vcrc disposed to avail themselves of the insolvent law, to take another course. They now make compromises with their creditors, and by paying a part of their saiaries to them, reserving enough to live on they are gradually extricating themse'ves from debt.

which he was unable to visit, while his competitors visited almost every county in the State, and some of the counties two or three times In some instances his notices to speak, d:d not arrive at thei destination untilafter hcarrived himself, and in many instances they were conceal ed by post masters It is however, gratifying to him to discover that in the generality of the counties where he had the opportunity of addreNsin a respec table number of his fellow-citizens, he was honored with a majority of their votes. Notwithstanding all the disadvantages under which he labored, his election would have been secure, had not some ot his political opponents resorted to the most unwarrantable falsehoods A few days after he became a candidate, he de livered a speech in Saltrn.andon the subject ot the Wabash Canal he said thai he was opposed to involving the State to such an extent as tocteote ihe necessity of a direct tax upon the pockets of the peopl., for the purpose of opening anv Canal; that he was opposed to tht pas sage of a law authorizing such a mehsure at this time; that he thought the Canai ought to be opened with such means as we had obtained, from the General Go veinment,and such as might be herealter obtained. It was said by some that he had been an enthusiast in the legislative on the subject. He told them he thought not; but i!, however, he had been such, his conduct was approved hy ois constituents, and that he had obeyed ai! their instructions, and should he be eltc ted Governor, he woujd consider himeli a servant of the State, and would look to her interest and prosperity. This he thought the duy of every person who obtained so responsible an cflice as that ol Governor of a Stale. I his was the sum and substance of his remarks on that subject; yet he is reported to have said that he did not feel bound to favoui the progress of the Wabash Canal, un iess the United States wou?d make it, oi something to this effect, thereby making it a national instead of a state work A statement to this effect was published in the1 Phcc.ox" of Salem, and re published in the "Vinccnnes Gazette, ' and many ev.ra copies of those papers sent to the Upper Wabash countiy. Such ian guae he never thought of. much less did bespeak it. In the south he is inlormed. that Gen Noble told them in a pub lie speech, a few djys before the election (jnd 1 presume in II irrisn, on the day ot the election, from the vote he got in hat coum p3rticular,y at Corydon.) that Head was a warm Canal man; that lather than lose the Canal, he, with others, had bartered away the Michigan Road, and thereby saved the Canal, and eonscqucntU the South lost the toad. This was the intent arid effect of his icmarks To prove the falsity oP this report, he appeals to every member of the Legislature who acted with him at th time tht-se questions were agitated, with out distinctii n of party. The course of Ger.l Noble, on the stump, was to deprecate the "question" he would tel them to "extei niinate the mot ster, par ty,' and then tell them that party excite ment wns calculated to sow the seeds of discord in society, and, as a proof his sincerity, would tell them, that there wer- f previous to the declining of Judire Scott) three Clay candidates, and but ope frlieAn roni!i'n. r, nf , ...... , i. f-,Uc s u,!he woult! ,c hU a llicmls, ..,,,, ,e Kcnt;cmen, am ie , y candidate th can beat Read, ,hr Jjcks0I1 canjUlaU, , am he on, ' onc (.h. o,, m ,c , i 'nat can save you Stapp anu Scott havtno .(,,,.,.

The sugar cane above and below the city is lain flat, and many persons capable ot judging, are of opinion that the loss sustained, will occasion the crop to fall short, at least 40,000 hhds.

'Y u have no doubt heard something ol the horrid conduct ol the blacks in ( uth3mpron this week, and from the det'p interest that all must ft el, and the very extraiagant stories that have been circulated, I have been induced to think a brief statement of the case nectsaiy to be made public. 'It is not known that any mischief has been done in N. Caro'iinn; and although stiong suspicions are entertained that 'here existed an understanding among the black, yet no evidence has been found to confirm them "On Mondav morning last, about three o'clock, the massacre commenced at Mi. John Travers' the exact order in which 'hey proceeded is not stated, and proba bly not knon Unlortunatcly for us, it was at the lime ol our County Court, and the principal part of the citizens of this place were there, (at Winton) about 12 miles off. so that it was late in the day before we were apprised cf it generally. The few men who were in town immc diatcly collected, and about 6PM. Capt Camp, of the Governor's Guatds, arri ved, and instanily made the proper arrangements for the protection of the town In the meantime, the Col. was not idle, and so soon as a sufficient nombrr was organized, a party composed of horse and foot, say a company of each, was ordered to the scene of action, where they arrived on Tuesday evening The massacre of the w hitcs was over, and the white people had commenced the dtstruction of the negroes, was continued after our men got there, from time to time, as they could fall in with them, all day yesterday. We have heard nothing from them to day From the best infnrmatjon nearly SO negroes have been killed, and the jail at Jerusalem is full to oveiflow ing We suppose them entirely suppressed, it they are not all killed ;nd taken. The great force in arms from Virginia rendered any further aid from us unnecessary. Our people describe the situation of the country there in the most floorrry colors. The dead bodies of

In Indiana.- From vanous sources we are authoiized to say that a State Convention will be holden at Indianapo November, lB3'i,or at such other period as the next Legislature may direct by law. It is respectfully recommended to the voters of the several counties to hold public meetings, in the most prpular and republican manner, by giving previ I ous public notice, and to elect by the people a number of delegates to the aforesaid Convention, corresponding with the number of Townships in each coun ty, one delegate from each Township, in order that every citizen of the State may have, an immediate representative in Convention. It is hoped the editors of newspapers in different parts of the state will lay the above notice before their readers, and that such as are friendly to the administration of Andrew Jackson will co-operate in effecting the object desiied fs not the meeting of the Convention j in Pcccmler, premature? H;id not the time for it better be postponed until some time next spring, or at leust until the apportionment of Representation is fixed, and we know how many electors we shall be entitled to? Ed.

STRENGTH OF PARTIES By a carelul examination ol tht parties in the next Legislature of Indiana, we are inducctl to believe, that the Jackson party will have a majority of Jrotn three to five in the House of Representatives, and that the Clay paity will have a ma jority in the Senate of from nine to eleven The Clay majority on joint ballot will be from six to eight. In the last Legi''atuie the day majority on joint ballot was twemy two So much f.i the strength of parties in Indiana, as demonstrated by the late ejections lb. 'Vom the Baltimore American.
