Tn order to accommodate such of our subscri bers who are indebted to us, and cannot make it convenient to pay, we are willing to receive, in discharge of their subscription money, a lot of good sound, dry wood.

There was a good deal of anxiety displayed about some of the offices, but as far as wp have heard every thing passsd off quietly. The follow ing is the result in Monroe county; by which it will be seen that Olis B. Gordon, is elected She riff", Adam Overfitld, Commissioner, Abraham Levering, Auditor, James H. Stroud, Prothonota ry, &c, and M. II. Prober, Register and Recor der, Daniel Webster. On Friday a week, the Hon. Daniel Webster, Mr. Tyler's Secretary of State, addressed the cit izens of Boston, in a speech which occupied up wards of two hours in the delivery. We are sorry that its great length precludes the possibility of our giving it an insertion in the " Jeflersonian," notwithstanding the disappointment it occasioned his friends and the entire Whig party, of the Un ion. With all its faults, it is a masterly produc tion; the effort of a powerful and gigantic mind, struggling to free itself from the embarrassments which encompass it, but lacking the nerve to cut loose from the fortunes of the traitor Tyler, witr in whose meshes Mr. W. is entangled. The Speech defines Mr. Webster's present position. Jie is no longer a Whig. He has abandoned his long cherished principles, and left the company of his former friends for the embraces of John Tyhir. and the privilege of revelling in the power which that man's accidental position gives' him. From the whole te.'ior of Mr. Webster's Speech, it is evident that he is jealous of Henry Clay, and piT-ied at the unbounded enthusiasm and admira tion with which he is hailed by the Whigs of the country. This gives us a new insight into his character, and reveals to us a trail which we had thought was altogether foreign lo his breast. We considered Daniel Webster to be above envy; whh a heart wholly devoted to firs country, and his country's .good. And we now grieve to find this alloy mixed up with his otherwise noble nature. "We are confident that if the American people had singled out him as the individual whom they would hcroar with the gift of the Chief Magistracy," no man would have more cheerfully acquiesced than Henry Ciny. Mr. Webster, for the present, will remain in the Cabinet ; and as long as he does so ho voluntarily separates the bonds which united bin to the Whig party. In the mean time the Whig parly will go on reenmrr ending itself and its doctrines to lbs admiration of the people, by the. success and prosperity which attends their i.raciical "Derations. The defection of scores of itonis! Wbsiers cannot injure cir prospects, or prevent our complete triumph in 1844. 'JThe 2ayloia Convention. The grand Barbecue given by the Whig'.? of Ohio, to Henry Clay, at Dayton, on the 20th of September, exceeded any thing of the kind which Ims ever taken place in the United States. There v.-re upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand tttemcn present to join in the festivities of the oc- ation. The buckeyes of Ohio, the Wolverines m ttlrhrgnn, ihe Hoosicry of Indiana, and the fuckers of Illinois, turned out by thousands to .'reel hn natriot of Ashland, and bid him wclcorc t-t I ivion. Never before irr the West was there ;ch ar uprising and gathering of the people. T.s- process-in of carriages, &c. which escorted I'.hr into t"ic town was five miles long and i , abieast.

Hi" n:ime inspires aa much enthusiasm, and he jtfaiisea to be quite as popular in the West, as was Uit iameiiied Harrison. Tiew JToeU. Politic, The election in New York for Governor, Liout. Governor, Members of Congress, and the State J.erjslature, will take place on the 8th of Novem ber. Both parties are actively engaged in can vnssintr the' State, and awakening the people to the importance of the result. Both appear. .confi dent of victory. For our own part, we have no doubt of the result if the Whigs do their duty and turn out to the polls. New York is Whig to the core, and it requires but a full poll to givo us from 10 to 15 thousand majority. The question then is, will the Whigs turn out, and give encouragement to their brethren throughout the Union by securing the State? Wo answer, we believe they will. The people of New York are aware of the impor tance which is attached to their coming election. They know that if they succeed, Martin Van Bu ron's hopes for a re-election to the Presidential chair are forever blasted. They know, that if they triumph, the success of the Whig Cause, and Henry Clay, in 1844, is reduced to a moral cer tainty. With a full knowledge of these things it cannot be that they will prove recreant to their piinciples and their country, by remaining at home on the day of election. Communicated. On Tuesday the 4th inst., the Presbytery of Newton commenced its Fall session in this town, which continued for two-days. The opening ser mon was by the Rev. Mr. Clark of Belvidero, N. J.; the subject of which was, the preparation which God, by his wise but inscrutable Providence, had made for the advent of the Saviour, when the ful ness of lime had come. The sermon was founded upon Gal. 4. 4. It was altogether a finished, and deeply imeresting performance. In thu evening, Dr. Yeomans, President of La Fayette College, Easton, preached a sermon, from I Peter 2.-7, 8.; and rarely have we listened to such. a sermon as that was. Unique and happy in design, it was also admirable in execution. The great principle in view was to prove and illustrate the fact, that every thing in the economy of grace was so ar ranged, thnt proud and wicked men might have a plausible pretext for their rejection of offered mer-J cv; and especially for their rejection- of Jesus Christ. While with hearts rightly disposed, they might see that his true character was in full ac cordance with his claims; yet so humble was his appearance in ourworlu, and so far removed from that mode which popular expectation had framed, as to furnish a direct occasion for the scorn and opposition which he met from wicked men, wheth er Jews or Gentiles. To form, however, a just estimate of the sermon, it would be necessary to follow the learned speaker along his tract of ori ninnl nrid nrnfmind thought. Rev. Air. Irwin of r,.... -- , o Bath, Northampton county, preached an excellent practical sermon on Wednesday morning; and in the evening. Dr. Shaver of Newton, N. J. deliv ered a solemn discourse, to a full and attentive audience. Several items of important business were dis posed of during the session of Presbytery; the most interesting of which perhaps, was the licen sure of Mr. Wilson, a colored man, as a mission ary for Liberia. He expressed a very strong de sire to embark as soon as possible, for the be nighted land of his forefathers, with his wife and six children. Upon the whole, the proceedings of this first meeting of Presbytery in this town, were interest ing and instructive, and will be the occasion of pleasant recollection for many days to come. Death of Dr. Cnanning. We deeply regret to see the announcement of the death of this distinguished divine. This event. which will carry sorrow to the hearts ot thousands who knew and loved the man, and to tens of thou sands who are familiar with the worth of his la bors as a public teacher, occurred at Benniugton, Vt. on Sunday evening last. His remains were to be immediately taken to Boston for interment. With reference merely to the elegance and elo quence of his style and the general popularity of his writings, Dr. Channing was one of the most eminent of American authors; but feeling all the responsibility of his high profession, he never al lowed his standing in the estimation of the world to either limit or direct his exertions His con science tola him of duty and his quick eye dis covered a thousand paths in the wide world of human effort and of human suffering m wlucii it was to be discharged. He labored, in his pleach ing and his writings, to carry into the political arid social movements of the world, the great princi ples of Morals' aftd of Religion in which all that is of worth, has- its ground and support; and though his pure spirit has passed from our midst, his writings yet remain among us, eloquent in truth and in the fearless, manly fervor with which it is urged. Deeply do we deplore his loss most un timely, lo the faithless eye of man, does it seem to the cause of Truth, of Order and of Right: and still more deeply do wc jament that he has left behind him, in the same department of exertion, so few, in proportion to the number needed, to supply the loss occasioned by his death. N. y. Tribune. Pungent. Mr. Bales of the Detroit Advertiser, answers the question- of a Loco Foco contemporary as follows: 'A Tyler editor tip North wants to know if we are the samo Morau Bates who offered ,im a t,rjbe 0f threa hundred dollars?

We have received papers from Liverpool to the 20th tilt , and from Lon don to the 19th tilt.

The Mannfatnrins Districts More riots in Manchester. It would appear from what is now going on in the (own of Manchester,- and surrounding dis tricts, that the disiurbum es are niH yt-t finally settled down, for, on Thursday evening, air at tack was made on soveFal milts iu Salfnrd; and in one instance the hands were turned out by the rioters. At one of the mills they fount a warm recep tion, the owners having armed their workmen with picking sticks. The hands proved too strong for the mob, and succeeded in defeating them. In the affray, one of the mob was so severely beaten that he had to be removed to Manchester Infirmary, where he expired. On ihe 26th till., the town was tolerably quiet, but ihe police were constantly parading the streets. A few more hands have gone to work, but it is supposed at least, 5,000 weavers are still oul. At Stockport, however, twenty-five mills out. of thirty-two have resumed work. From the East A Battle--Flight of Prince Michael. The Moniteur Parisien of Friday evening an nounces that a revolution took place in Scrvia on the 31 si ult., and that Prince Michael hud escaped inlo Austria. The insurgents, under the command of Voutohilvh, soon became mas ters of the arsenal, and Michael, after defend ing himself during two da)"s, had been at last abandoned by the greases! part of the troops, and compelled lo seek his safety iu flight The Circassians again Y,ictoraoi:s. According to the Gazette du Miai, of the 13th instant, the Russians had experienced another check iu Circassia. The insurgents surprised at nighi and cut lo pieces a body of about 10, 000 men, encamped under the walls of Marga, and made themselves masters of that fortress, which they entered, together with the fugitives. Nearly the whole of the troops in the camp were put to sho sword, and a number of officers were made prisoners. Important ftews Srom Port Natal. A Government Gazette Extraordinary reach ed London on ihe 19ih, from the Capo of Good Hope, dated July 15th, bringing advices from Port Natal of the 3d of the same month. They announce the junction of the re-inforcemenis sent from Cape Town, with Captain Smith's gallant fiiiTe band, who, with 20 wounded, with in his closely confined camp, and no other food than horseflesh for more than a fortnight, and a desperate and vigilant foe around htm, had managed to maintain his post.

Happily the blow missed its aim. We giro ihe following extract from a note received from Mr. P., which stales the particulars, and by which his friends will he gratified lo learn lhat he is not seriously injured: "After the adjournment, a man from Spring Garden neighbor hood, a Loco Foco, commenced abusing me, without any provocation on my part. A scuffle ensued, during; which 1 was V slabbed; cither by him or an associate from the same neighborhood named Sanderson; iu ihe left, side, just below the region of the heart, with a knife or some very sharp instrument, inflict ing a wound three inches long, culling through alfmy clothes.

Men, and especially men who are filled with the explosive spirit of Loco Focoism, should be punished for going armed to political meetings. Vreeland and Sanderson are ihe names of the offenders in this caso. Newark Dairy. "I protest in the name ofthe people, by whose will I stand where I do," Mr. Tyler.
