vnreeNw for exertions, m awakening and fniHtaininj; diviionain*ociety, is but a poor guarantee for the mkriner in which vve win discharge public duties. For my part, I cannot concieve upon what principle of reasoning, tit* public can determine upon the fitness and qualHfcaiioris rif Candidate# for a scat in poqgress, fcrito the mere fact, that they .preferred anfrwen to another in the last presidential election. That is now no tsst of merit nr honesty; nor do I yield the question that there ever was a time when it close this communication without tendering to my friends my sincere aeknowledgerneuts for the generous manner in which they have spoken and heretofore acted by me, and aeeure them, that however delicately lam situated between the two candidates, now upon the field, I diall do no set, nor take a step, which will cattle any of them to regret the unreserved confidence they have reposed in me. In common with my fellow citizens, 1 have a Jeep and mj abiding interest i the fortunes of this state; both as it regards national and ofrtn politics, and have never asked, in my life, toaroid the responsibility of noting, yet feeling the delicacy of my situation, and knowing the'uncharitable suspicions that pay be attached to any act of mine that aigjit bare a bearing upon the prospects of other of the candidates, and firmly belie vieg that no great danger is to be apprehended from the success of either, I hope I ahali he excused from taking any part in the con- j tut.

CHOLERA. The May mile Eagle and Monitor—Extori of Friday morning. May 31, says—“lt becomes our painful task to announce to the public,idle existence of Cholera in our city to an alarming extent. On Wednesday morning last, the dreadful news was spread throughout the place, that there was a number of cases of a desperate character; embnciugonr most temperate and exemplary citizens. The panic spread as the disease extended, and our streets and houses may be mid to' have been deserted in thirty six hottn. It has new been forty eight hours mce the disease made its appearance, and *e have interred ten persons—We have now lying dead and to be interred this morning, ninepersons—Our physicians inform % that but few new cases are occurring, but that many of the old ones are desperate. In a private letter from Nashville to the Editor of the Louisville Herald, the writer my*— I '‘The Cholera is upon us in its most frightful and fatal form. From the 28th to fee 81st of May, not less than 70 cases—•ad about 20 rWths in the last 48 hours —The suddenness of its reappearance, and fee violence of the cases, has produced a considerable panic among our citizens; but ■o disposition, yet manifested, to flee from it I trust we have seen its greatest fury, ul have heard of but few new cases since W eight.”

FOREIGN NEWS. The prieo ns of Frankfort, in Germany, *re filled with persons arrested for potitica offences, or on account of the latecommotion in that city. There was a rumor at Paris tba. a general insurrection had suddenly broken out in the Grand Dotchy of Baden, in which three regimentsof the line had embarked; and that these had been joined by a large body, of Polish emigrants* who had fled from the several despots in France. The roles are said to have been well, supplied With money. It added that Hesse Cassel was seriously disturbed. A Very large number of Germans had arrived in France on tneir way to the United States—-generally from Bavaria, and many of them persons Os what are called the “better classes.” E y®*y foiog yet remained quiet in France. At the close of the session of the chamber of deputies on the 14th of April, gen. Lafayette, accompanied by manyof the members, Tfo u P on M - de Broglie, to intercede for 423 Poles who had left the place assigned them, and who, by their departure, had brought themselves under the rigor of the ordinance* of the government. The general spoke with great energyiotheir justification, and explained their motives. M. de -Broglie is said—-to have promised to use his influence so mitigate the penalties they had incurred. -

A letter dated Para, (Brazil), April 29, received in New York, says that the regency at Rio Janeiro had sent up anew governor, who, on attempting to take the reins of government, waa opposed by the mob. An engagement ensued, which continued from the 16th to the 18th March when upwards of 100 were killed, and a great many wounded. All the foreign vessels in port were chartered to take away persons and property, some proceeding toMaranham and others to Lisbon. The. new governor failing to effect his object, left the place, and took passage for Maranham. Another received in Boston, says—“On the 16th of April, all business ceased; every mercantile house, was shut.up, and many of the Portuguese and their families embarked on board the shipping in port. Things remained in a dreadful state of suspense until the 18th, When an open rupture took

place. The President caused arms to be distributed amongst the mob, mostly blacks mulattoes, and “kill the Portuguese,” resounded through the streets of Para. Men were hunted like wild beasts, and shot down with less regret. For two days, the city presented a scene too shocking to behold—too barbarously brutal to be believed of a Christian people. When they had sacrificed all the Portuguese that were to be found, carts were sent round the city, and the dead bodies conveyed away and tumbled promiscuously into one common grave.” <-■ It is said that sin insurrection of the slaves has broken out at Demarant., A letter from the interior of Jamaica, dated 19 April, says the weathet had been dreadful, the crop will not be half an average one. Negro grounds burnt up—not a spear of grass. Don Pedro had received considerable supplies at Oporto, and was preparing for offensive operations. Greece seems jo be settling down into some degree of quietness. Mostof the chiefs had acknowledged the new king, A letter from Nauplia states, that among the decrees which have lately been promulgated by the Greek government is one which enjoins all Greeks, who are of age, to take the following oath: “I swear by the holy trinity,and on tile holy gospel of Christ, to be faithful to my king, Otho, and to be obedient to the laws ofGreece.”

Melancholy Accident. On the 25th inst. a melancholy and most distressing accident occurred at Hopkinsville. Several little boys were playing together in a gun- , smith’s shop, when two of them took hold of , a gun without knowing that it was loaded. The son of Dr. Glass had it by the breech, ( whilst the son ofMr. Finley held it by the muzzle presented to the forehead of young Finley. In this position it went off and about one third of the skull was carried away, leaving the remaining part as completely empty and clean, says our correspondent, as if it had been washed. The scene was most heart-rending; Mr. Finley, the father of the unfortunate boy, was near at hand, and entering the shop found his son dead, and his brains scattered over the room and the gunsmith’s back, who narrowly escaped being also killed.

Temperance.— The National Temperance Convention met at Philadelphia, on Saturday the 25th of May—37s Delegates, representing 20 State and 6 other Societies, being in attendance. The Hon. Reuben H. Walworth, Chancellor of New York, was appointed President; eight other gentleman, from different States, Vice Presidents; and an equal number, Secretaries. Several of the most distinguished men in the union were present; and we t at that the disinterested labors of this respectable assemblage will hasten the happy period when Intemperance and its kindred vices shall no longer prevail in any part of our extensive country. The Philadelphia Commercial Herald relates the following characteristic anecdote of the late John Randolph: “We spoke a while ago pf his extreme sensibility at the Wrong pronunciation of a word. This was exemplified even in the agonies of death. Dr P. was reading to him, and pronounced the word, Omnipotent, with the stress on the po, —omnipotent, ‘please,’ said the dying roan, ‘pronounce that word, omnipotent.’ .The Doctor proceeded, and coming to the word again, pronounced it at before—■‘Doctor,’ said Mr R. 1 will thank yon to pronounce the wordoro-

mpotent. 1 Soon, afterward*; putting Mr , hand to his forehead, fie said T have thr , Vfaat of death on me nowa 9 shortly af tr t erwards he died.’ ' ;*'*■ ; .‘:fW x - - ■...'jil.ii■ i iiir.iiiU * Dennis CoHinb, Who threWj stone at “hb ; majesty,” (fie Kinglet j last fall, has bet® transp*t*U<r life. j Vb.ia&ifa, u e Steamboat from the I Nashville Danner, of tW 29th uit., diet the I Steambok't Forrester wsa desttoyed by fire - on the 28th, a few mites below Clarkavilte i on the Cumberland River.
