Tlie Presidency.
It has long been settled that the Whigs will
hold their National Convention, to nominate can
didates for President and Vice President, at Bal
timore, in May 1844, and it may also now be con
sidered fixed that the Loco'Focos will hold theirs
at the same time and place, the Whigs agreed
upon the time without any difficulty but our op
ponents have had great trouble in disposing of the
"vexed question." Mr. Van Buren was exceed
ingly anxious that the Convention should meet in
December 1843, and that the Delegates should be
appointed by State Conventions, for the State at
large. To this Mr. Calhoun objected, and de
clared that he would not submit to the decision
of any Convention which assembled before May
1844, and the Delegates to which were not ap
pointed by tho people in their Congressional Dis
tricts. After finding he could do no better, the
ex-President has given his silent approbation to
the arrangement of the " Great Nullifier," and is
now straining every nerve to gian strength and in
terest sufficient to insure his nomination.
Henry Clay will be nominated by the Whigs.
He is the choice of more than nineteen twentieths
of the party, and no other man can even make a
show of opposition to him. Who the nominee of
the Loco Focos will be, it is difficult to say. Cal
houn and Van Buren are evidently the most prom
inent competitors for the bailor, but Gen. Cass
and Col. Johnson have also a host of ardent
friends and admirers. During thepastnine months,
the current of parly favor has been by no means
steady. At one time it seemed to set in strongly
in favor of one aspirant, and at another of another.
A few months ago strong demonstration's were
:made in the West in favor of Col. Johnson, and
his friends were in raptures. Since then Georgia
-md North Carolina have declared for Mr. Cal
houn, much to the elation of his adherents. But
-at present the Star of the Sage of Lindenicold, as
.Mr. Van Buren is now called, is in the ascendant.
-Conventions in Maine and New Hampshire have
just Resolved tiiat he is their first choice, and his
supporters -are sanguine of at least eight or ten
other states. But even while the Little Magician,
and his hoides rejoice, a movement is going on in
Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, in iavor of Gen.
Cass, which promises to be troublesome to all his.
competitors. And thus amid the ever changing
appearances of the political sky5 we are left with
out any certain appearances to calculate by.
No matter who receives the nomination, great
dissatisfaction will prevail among the friends of
the disappointed candidate and it will require
more than ordinary exertions to reconcile difficul
ties. If a Northern man is selected, the South
will be moodv and disappointed. If the man of
the South, Mr. Calhoun, succeeds, his ultraism
will drive thousands of his partisans into our
Tanks, to swell the vote of Mr. Clay. From a
f.ur, and candid review of the whole ground, then,
we are honestly bf opinion, that whoever our op
ponents take up, we can easily defeat with "Har
tv of the "West," the bold and gallant steed call
ed by his enemies, "The Mill-boy of the Sla'shes."
We leave it to time to verify the correctness of
this.
A Rational Insult.
The particulars of a high handed outrage, com
inrtted by the British' Consul at Sierra Leone, on
the- Coast of Africa, upon the BrFgantrne "Robert,
of New York, have been forwarded to Wasington,
ami are now receiving he serious consideration
of the Secretary of State. It appears that he il
legally seized and confiscated a nurtfber of chests
of tea, and kegs of gunpowder, on b&ard the Ro
bert, besides committing other enormities. Tne
British agents have been so long accustomed t6
insult our countrymen, and to offer indignities' to
our merchant ships, with imptinity, that the veriest
imps of their government begin to think that they
are" called upon to keep up the practice. Until i
flie government : of the United States, promptly re-1
serffs Such1 behaviour", w6 cannot look for any
thing fcteftetf. It has become a by-word, and no- ;
thing is vcibte true, that "he who does not care for
himself, nobody will care for J' We hope, liiere

.dy and energetic actio'jvin ihe present case;
rhvih for the purpose of repressing a grievous"
f wrong, and for maintaining the' dignity of the gov
Sjnisxjnt. Quite Willing.
It is said (hit Thomas W. Dorr, the rebel Gov
ernor of Rhode IsKid, is willing to acknowledge
ttie right of the iegulan constituted authorties in
i hat Stale, to administer ihe Government. He is
also anxious to return to Fovidece and resume
the practice nfLavv. If permitted to return, he
promises to behave himself well, and mover more j

V' .Easton; July l.Oft, 1843.
Fhave very--little lo communicate this week.
Every body appears (hill, andjiothing of inter
est is afloat. The Fourih of July hub passed
off, and left our town oven quieter than it was
before. A Temperance Oration, and a Milita
ry Parade were its principal attraciions.
Both our Volunteer companies are trying to
make arrangements for an excursion this sum
mer. The National Guards, Capt. Yohe, wish
to make a. trip to Boston, about the first of
September, and the Deaware Greys, Capt.
Reeder, are anxious to pay a visit to Balti
more, during the latter part of August. The
individual members of each, are active in ihe
mailer, and I should not be at all surprised if
they carried their ends. Wherever they go,
they will be an honor to Old Northampton.
Two belter drilled companies cannot easily be
found.
During tho two past weeks we have had
considerable talk about a detachment of IT. S.
Troops being sent here lo encamp during the
summer. But whether they will be sent or
not, I cannot positively say. Somo of our
citizens are very anxious to have ihem come,
whilst others are warmly opposed lo it. We
will know positively in a few days.
Our farmers have just finished hay-making,
and some are already harvesting. It has beeli
very dry in this neighborhood, for some time,
much to the injury of Corn, Potatoes, and
garden things. We had a refreshing shower
yesterday afternoon. J-J'
Georgia.
The Whigs of Georgia, lately held a State Con
vention at Milledgeville, at which they nominated
the Hon. George W. Crawfordj for Governor, and
A. H. Stevens, Esq. to fill a vacancy in the Con
gressional Delegation. They also appointed ten
Delegates to represent them in the Whig National
Convention, at Baltimore, with instructions to
vote for Henry Clay, as the Candidate for the
Presidency. Among the distinguished names
which adorn the list of Delegates, we notice those
of John McPtierson Berrien, of the United States
Senate, and Thomas Butler King, late Member of
Congress.
lew Jersey.
We are glad to see that the Whigs of New, Jer
sey are waking up to the importance of this fall's
election. County meetings have already been
called in most parts of the State, to make the pre-
paiatory arrangements. UI ihe Jive congressmen
to be chosen, the Whigs can unquestionably se
cure four, if they but exert themselves in the pro
per manner. New Jersey always shows right
side up, when the Whigs are active.
He Declines.
Mf. i. G. Birney declines being the Abolition
candidate for the Presidency in 1644. He is no
doubt satisfied with the honor his party conferred
upon him in 1840, when he was their candidate.
He then received about two thousand voles in the
United States. 5
Tile Sandwich Islands.
The British Minister at Washington, has offi
cially disavowed the seizure of the Sandwich Isl
ands, by Lord George Paulet, as unauthorized by
his Government. He says that an immedfate in
quiry will be made into the' matter, and full justice
done to the islanders.
Noi'lha'niptoai Bank.
The Committee, appointed by the Stockholders
to investigate the affairs of this institution, have
not yet finished their labors, but enough has been
ascertained to convince them that the Capital has
been entiiely sunk, and that no money will re
main to redeem the notes. The people of Allen
town are very much exasperated against John
Rice',' laler President of the Bank, and had him ar
rested, we are informed, one day last week, for
the embezzlement of its funds. He was, howev
er, admitted to bail in the sum of ten thousand
dollars.
- Miitta.i'f Encampments.
An Ericaniprhcht of Volunteers is to commence
at Pottsville, Pa. on the 10th of August next, to
continue one week. Twenty four iom'rja'nies',
have signified their intention to be present
A Volunteer Encampment, will also commence
at Doylestown, Bucks county, on the :33d of An
gust, and continue four days. About twenty com
panies have already accepted invitations to be
present.
Another HemovaS.
Captain Tyler has removed Mr. OTis, as Mar
shal of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and
appointed1 George M. Keim, of Reading, to fill his
place. Mr. Ofis!s only fault was, that he had sup
ported thd election of Mr. Tyler, and' was an" hott
est man. Gen. ICeim, in 1840, warf a rabid Van
'Burenman, and strongly opposed the election of
his present pairon. But he' ha's? rife-w become a

FOR TilE JEFFEKSONIAN REPUBLICAN.-.
I was nota little astonished in observing
an ariiclc in the ' Wayne County Herald," of
June 28ih, headed "Fourierism Association
Pike couniy law," in which theediior of that
paper lakes it upon himself to traduce not only
the character of our county, so far as its soil
is cpneerned, but .most shamefully traducing
the Sylvania Association very recently located
among us, and exhibits a shameful disregard
for truth in representing tlie resident members
of the Association as the most ignorant, un
learned, aud idle scum of the cities of New
York and Albany. I think the editor must
have received his information from such a
class as he describes ihe Sylvanians to be, for
a seems to me that no man with the least pre
lentious to decency would represent them in
the light that he does, knowing them y and I
would be very sorry to entertain for a moment
the opinion that this talented cotemporary had
hfinnmo reckless of all propriety. 1 think
he has penned the article alluded lo without a
sufficient knowledge of facts I know and
care but very Utile about Fourierism or the
principles or practices of Association and
would say to Mr. Allen cut loose at it just as
hnrd as vou nlease. and I also say to our
j i
friends at Sylvania, ihese columns are opened
to you for your defence. I will now take
the liberty bf informing Mr. Allen, and all
others, that there is not as much scieniifical
knowledge, mechanical skill and industrious
habits in ihe same number of individuals in any
township, town or borough in the counties of
Wayne or Pike, as is found in the Sylvania
Association. 1 believe this to be ihe senti
ment of every individual who has taken the
pains to visit them, or whose business has
brought them in contact with its members; and
for my part cannot see now Association ior
the purpose of prosecuting agricultural and
mechanical operations can work harm to any
body, when we see Associations formed for
the building of a bridge, for the, purpose of
menial projection, or for any object bf tha1
kind we are not apt to hear any very great
outcry against ii, and how it happens that As
sbciations for the purpose of prosecuting the
most honorable and beneficial objects can be so
monstrous as lo need the wonderful mind of
ihe very lalented editor ol the far tamed
Honesdale Herald, to be brought to bear, to
show it up (as he expresses n) m its true as
nect, 1 cannot conceive, aim we may De
led Irom the editor s remarks lo imagine mat
he in his wisdom is going hereafter lo show
the awful degradation consequent on the rear
iiig of cabbage, squashes, turnips and pota
toes
My eyes' were first opened to the astounding
fact that the county-ol Pike was so barren
that white beans would not sprout even with
the aid of manure and a prerious soaking in
salt petre. Now I have no objection to ujv
friend having attempted to gain the reputation
of saying many wiity and shrewd things, buj
I do object to nis doing it at the expense o
ihe much abused and slandered county o
Pike. We are well aware that there is
pood deal of waste land in this county, and
also know ihat mere Is very large tracts o
land in Pike couniy unimprored that will com
pare with any in the Slate and notwithstanding
all that lias been said about ihe Pike county
barrens, I here alledge that there is no.t a
tract of four hundred acres in the county upon
which as good a farm can be made as ihe
county of Wayne can boast of. We can pro
duce better crops of all kinds than Wayne
couniy can, avo oats and tinioihy. Smell that
Mucafee. I would noi, ii I could, detract
from the character of Wayne couniy, but
would like to know how Icmg since Wayne
alobd any ahead of Pike tn any. thing, by the
erection ol the uelaware anu liuuson canal
and the operaiions of that Company in tho
Coal trade U has helped Wayne in a great
measure out of the woods, which accounis lo
geitin"" somewhat ahead of her neighbour
f ike. Uut put tnem at worK upon meir own
natural resources and Pike always; has and can
beat her in every thing. Wonder if the Ben
net of ihe Honesdale Herald is aware that tho
ciiizens of Pike supplied Wayne during the last
winter wiih some thousands of bushels
"rain, for which as yet ihey have not realized
above half their pay; noiwiifisiandihg hite
beans cannot sprout here. Ihe gentleman
says he is not done with Pike county beans,
&e. A word of advice, Monsieur Tonson and

county alone in iheir barren fastnesses or you
may find that their fists ae equally as hard d
