A. PROOLAIVIATION.
IVticireas, by the Constitution of this
Sian), and with the view, as well of perpetu
ating an essential branch of' the Legislative
Deo lit, - lent of the Government, as of pro•
viding for such changes in the membeis
thereof periodically, as the people might do
- sire to make, it was provided that the people
or the several counties, and of the cities of
Baltimore and Annapolis, duty qualified ns
etectors, sfould, en the first Monday of
aptember last, elect two persons for each
ertlie said counties, and one person for enai
of toe said cities, to be Electors oldie Sen
, roe, who were required to meet in the city
of Annapolis on the third Monday of said
month: and they, nr any twenty _four of them
se met, were directed,after having qualified
in the manner provided for, to proceed to
elect fifteen Senators, who, when so elected,
and - duly qualified as such.were to constitute
~ the Senate of Maryland," in the place of
those who then constituted that branch of
- the General Assembly. ,
AND ‘VIIHREAS, eighteen of the persons
who were chosen as Electors, in pursuance
oftha aforesaid provisions of the Constitu
tion, and in conformity to law, have failed
to perform the duty enjoined upon them as
aforesaid, by refusing, and continuing to re
fuse, or neglect to meet the other Electors
who have attended, qualified and held them•
selves.tn readiness to perform their duty:
in consequence whereof no new Senate has
yet been elected.
A ND WIIEREAS, the said unfaithful agents
of the people, in addition to their violation
of the duty as aforesaid,seem vainly to have
imagined that the effect of their conduct
would be the destruction and overthrow of
the Constitution and Government of the
State, which many, if not all of them, had I
heretofore sworn to support; and, according.
Jy presumptuously proceeded to recommend
measures fin. substituting another Constitu
tion and Government for that which they
seem to have supposed they had destroyed,
or, nt least, mortally wounded.
AND WHEREAS, sundry evil disposed, or
misguided citizens have taken, and are con.
tiauiligriO pursue and prosecute measures in
accordance with said recommendation, and
designed to carry out and consummate the
disorderly designs arid purposes aforesaid.
AND WHEREAS, these unprecenented un•
conwitutional, disorderly and Revolutionary
occurences and proceedings,although wholly
inefficient to accomplish any of the avowed
objects of those engaged in them,nre fraught
with incalculable evils and mischiefs, and
must, if' persisted in, and sustained by any
considerable portion of the people, greatly
disturb the tranquility and peace of the State
—impair her credit and resources—arrest
her great works of internal improvement—
blight her lately brilliant prospects of in
064111ipg prosperity, and, finally, involve us
in a! the horrors and unspeakable calarm•
ties'ai anarchy, intestine commotion and
CI L WAR, and therefore demand from
tlitP Vscutive the adoption of such Consf•
tutional and legal measures as may seem to
them best adapted to quiet the public mind,
which has been thug wantonly disturbed;
to defeat the unholy designs and purposes
afbresaid, and maintain and support the Con•
stitution and authority of the Government,
by all the means and powers with which they
are entrusted.
AND WISHREAS, we are well advised,and
entirely satisfied, that the aforesaid unfiiith
fel "Trustees of the public," and their abet
tors, have as entirely mistaken their power
of destroying the Constitution and Govern
ment of the State, as they have clearly-vio
lated a solemn duty —that the Constitution
and Government yet exist in all their integ•
rity and power—that the Senate elected in
September 1931, continue to be "the Senate
of Maryland," and will so continue until suk
perceded by the election of successors, as
constitutionally and lawfiilly provided for,
and, with the House of Delegates elected,
in October lust, now constitute "the Gene
ral Assembly" of this State.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, THOMAS
W. VEAZEY, 'Governor of the State of
Maryland, with the advice of the Council,
and in virtue n 1 the authority, vested in me
by the Constitution, deeming ft proper and I

MosT PROPHETIC!—The following mos
strikingly prophetic extract is copied iron
"Jefferson's Notes on Virginia," pages If 3!
and Ig4:
TITS views of the present members are
perfectly upright. When they are led out
of their regular province, it is by art in
others, and inadvertence in themselves.—
And this wilt probably be the case for some
time to come. But it will not be a very
long time. Mankind soon learn to make
interested uses every right and power
which they ooSsess, or may assume. The
public money and public liberty, intended
to have been deposited with three branches
of magistracy. BUT FOUND [NAM
VERTENTLY TO BEEN THE H ANDS
OF ONE ONLY, will soon be discovered
to be sources of wealth and dominion to
those who hold them; distinguished too by
this tempting circumstance, that they are
the instrument, as well as the object of ac•
quisition. With money we will get men,
said Caesar, and with men we will got mo
ney. Nor should our assembly he deluded
by the integrity of their own purposes, oral
conclude that these unlimited powers will
never be abused, because themselves are um
disposed to abuse them. They should took
forward to a time, and that not a distant
one, when a corruption in this, as in the
country from which we derive our origin.
will have seized the heads of government,
and be spread by them through the body of
the people; when they will purchase the
voices of the ride*, AND NIAKE THEN!
PAY THE PRICE.
No intelligent reader will fail to make
the application. Mr. JEFFERSON must have
had his fitr•seeing eye fixed upon the pres
ent disastrous period of our history.

There appears to have been a complete
rupture between France and Switzerland,
growing out of the difficulties between the
Duke de Montebello and the Swiss Direc
tory. The London Morning Chronicle of
the 6th publishes a diplomatic note from the
Directory, which it characterises as a "ne
farious production," "replete with false as-
sertion, with petty susceptibilities, With
open bullying of the weak by the strong."
The Swiss Directory met on the 2Rth,
in consequence of the note of the French
government, and took the following resolu
tions:
The convocation of an extraordinary
Diet for the 17th of October. Invitations
to all the States to appoint deputations, pro
viding them with instructions and sufficient
powers. Order to the Swiss Charge d'Af
(hires in Paris to break off all relations with
the French Government, and warn the
Ministry of this in a note.
The French Legation at Berne had closed
its doors refuses to sign passports, or the
visas necessary for the receipt of the annui
ties and pensions in France. This last is
severe, but is explained by the joutnal
which announces it, to be - intended to excite
the persons hurt by this
.measure against
the Swiss Government. The Government,
however, has announced that it will itself
provide for the payment of such annuities
so stopped. Although no passports are
signed for France, M. de Montebello, has
(Mitred to make an exception in favor of the
refugees to be exiled.

, ORIGINAL ANECDOTE OP ETHAN ALLEN.
—An old gentleman of Vermont hes told us
an anecdote of Ethan Allen,the revolutiona
ry hero, which we have never seen in print,
but which is nevertheless historically true.
About forty years since, Allen was sued for
note of about one hundred pounds. As it
was not convenient for him to pay it, he em•
ployed Chittenden, the lawyer, to tonnage
the case in Court, and get it putover to the
next term. When, the case came on, Chit
tenden accordingly appeared, and as the
note was signed by a witness, who lived at a
distance, he got up and denied the signature,
knowing that the witness could not be pro.
duced during the session, and he should thus
obtain the delay his client wished. The
denial of the signature therefore was a mere
finesse, nod perfectly understood by the"
Court; but - Allen chimed to be in the court
house at the time,.nnd ho viewed the matter
in a more serious light. Rushing up to the
bar of the Cnurt, and clenching hil . giatt talc
he made the following addresz..: "Law.
yer -Chittendenl I did not employ you to
come here and tell a bare.fliced lie! . 1 did
sign the note, and I won't deny it, may it
please your honors! that's my signature,and
that's a good note. I honestly oive the
money, and mean honestly to pay it. All I
wsnt is that your honors should put it over
to the next Court, and by that time I shall
have the cash from Boston, and will pay
every farthing. of it." . The result was that
by consent of parties,the case was continued
to the next term. Such were the notions
of honesty entertained by a soldier of the
olden tunes, that he could not bon- even a
fiction of law to deny the obligation of a
paper to which his signature was attached.

The Florida Campaign.
It would appear from what has already
transpired, that we are to have the campaign
of last year in Florida, over again. Thus
far, at least, Gen. Call has shown a very
great lack of some of the most important
qualifications. elan able commander, and
has greatly disappointed public expectation.
Knowing the localities of the country as he
must (or ought to) know them—havieg the
benefit of the experience of Generals Gaines
and Scott, and being selected to retrieve the
errors which they were charged with mak
ing, Gen. Call must be greatlydeficient in
sagacity and prudence to allow hiinself to
fall into the same errors. He must be
aware too that the eyes of the nation are
upon hint and that much is expected (Whim.
But it is said by those who know Gov.
Call personally, that a more injudicioss ap
pointment of a commanding General for the
Florida campaign could scarcely have been
made—that he neither possesses the milita
ry knowledge, the prudence, the sagacity
nor the energy which the station and its
duties demand. It is no secret we believe,
that this appointment was made by the
President through motives of personal re
gard for the individual, and under a belief
no doubt, induced by his friendly feelings
fur Gen. C. that it was the most judicious
that lie could make; while others whits° judg.
ment were not thus biassed by personal friend.
ship. could easily see the probable cense.
quences both to Guy. Call and to the coun

test person for the post of commander-in.
chief in Florida; as he unites in himself inure
of the knowledge of the Indian character,
and the localities of he country, and posses
ses more military skill and energy than any
other individual. He acted, we believe, a
short time as aid to Gen. Scott, and it is as•
serted that he was promised the post of
commander. The country may have rea.

LITIIORITy.—We Were both astonished
and instructed in an nttendo u tr•e at the Penn•
sylvania Hospital: . on Wednesday last, by
observing the operation of lit hority, or the
removal of n large and painful calculus from
a living patient, by Dr. J. Randolph, of this
city, in the presence of a large number of
students and medical men of distinctien.—
The operation was commenced with the
utmost coolness, and performed with consu
instepkill. Previous to the operation, Dr.
RandMph,exhibited the instruments employ
ed by him on all similar necasions,and which
were manufactured fur him under the im
mediate direction of one of the inventors,
M. Civiale, of Paris. He expatiated with
great clearness and ability upon the great
merit of the instruments, and the amount of
suffering from which, since their invention,
humanity has been relieved. He detailed
in a lurid, but somewhat diffident manner
the many instances in which the employ.
ment of those instruments in his own prac
tice had been followed by triumphant re.
sults. The case thertbefore him was, if we
remember rightly, the eighteenth—in the
treatment of all of which he had been re
warded with complete success. His details
of the cases—the great nilliction of the pa
tients—and the speedy relief which followed
the operation upon thorn, were received by
the auditory of Dr. Randolph with constant
and enthusiastic sppinuse.
We are convinced both from observation,
end the favorable verdict of his professional
brethren, that the claims of Dr. Randolph
to the thanks and praise of the medical einn
munity in general, for his practice and ex
planations in a most difficult branch of sur
gical science, are worthy of high and en.
during commendation. He was the first
physician) who ever performed the operation
of lithority in Philadelphia; and in every
instance the results have been of the hap
piest character. They have added to his
wide and well earned reputation and con
ferred upon him that disti
.netion which we
trust has amply repaid him for his assiduous
studies, and noble elihrts in the cause of
suffering humanity.—Phila. Gazette.

INDIAN LAWSUIT —The Buffalo Com
mercial Advertiser has an account of a law
suit. lately tried in the city between two
dians. The most siiwular features in the
case, says the Advertiser, "was the employ
ment by each of the contending parties, of
an Indian Advocate—natives of the Seneca
nation, and students at low in this city—toi
plead in due form their respective causes.—.'
This was done with zeal and ability by the
counsel on both sides—first suiting the 't
ar.uments in English for the ceurt,und the
recapitulating the substance to their client 4
in the Seneca tongue—citing nut horitieriA
readily, and appealing to decisions in point.,
to establish Gieir several cases. The same
paper speaks further of the aboriginal calm,
ness, the decorum and imperturbable gravi
ty which marked the conduct of the dispu
tants in the trial, and recommends that an
attempt should be made to imProve the
mariners of the bar generally by inducing
the young Indian men to study law.

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Oct. ISt, 1836.
Dear Sir:—Since I left you I have been
through a variety of scenes of toils and hard
ships, yet of pleasure and satisfaction. The
Red Pipe Mountain which I told you was
one of the principal objects of my summer's
campaign, I have seen, and from it I am
now wending my way back again, and with
good lira nhall be able to reach your beau
tiful city in a few days after the receipt of
this letter. At that time I can give more
of detail, but at present,in brief, a few ideas
of this strange anomaly in nature, and the
mode in which we approaAed it. 1 mean
the Pipe Stone Quarry, on the Colman, de
Prairie—anomalous, in as much as it is the
only locally of this mineral known of, and
~_ located on the summit of the Couteau du
:..Prairie—one of the sublitnest scenes in
nature—at the distance of emit 180 miles
N. W. of the Falls of St. Anthony, which
. -distance is one of almost entire prairie and
richest soil. We commenced rising the
grand swell of the Couteau—and for the
distance of 40 miles we gradually rose,swell
-above swell, and terrace above terrace,
7whore for the whole distance not a tree, nor
a bush, nor a weed was to be seen. A
beautiful green turf covers the whole dis
tance, the grass of which is not more than
or 4 inches in height, and green and soft
to the ewes as velvet. W hen lifted to its
very extremity, one seems to stand almost
in the clouds, and behold around him the
most extended and magnificent panorama
of Countless hills. and motinds and plains,
- that multiply and diminiSh in distance to'
infinity. The whole of this vast landscape
is without tree or herbage, save the grass
which covers every thing like a carpet of
green velvet.
On the very top of this ride,which divides
the waters of St. Peters from the Missouri,
is situated, (by some freak of nature which
is difficult to understand) the quarry of the
Red
,Pike Stone. There is something so
exceedingly pretty and picturesque in the
41pMEOnce of the place itself, that it cannot
be de., which together with th e ex
quioS-auty of the stone, and the interest
ing:Wes, mysteries, and traditions relating
to it, will be rich subjects fir the labors
both of my brush and pen, which I may
hereafter use for the instructions and en
trnainment of the world. The quantity of
•=t)atetie that might be procured is almost
without limits, and its exceeding beauty can
only be known by the examination of speci•
? p art
which I shall bring with me. That
, „fiart which the Indians use (and which only
they will use) is deep red, entirely inferior
m beauty and richness to those parts which
:':-,are variegated with almost all the colors of
rainbow.
The singular appearance of a precipice,
two miles in length and 30 feet high, in the
middle of this smooth and stoneless region
•' of green fields, is of itself a striking object
to look upon; and when that perpendicular
Ledge is contemplated and viewed ns it is, of
all colors and polished by the action of the
air'up . un it, as if a liquid glazing had been
paUred over it, one stands filled with wonder
and admiration.
tife Indians have an idea that this red
titona:is a part of their flesh, that they were
created from it, and that it would be sacri
legious and impious to convert it to any
other use than the pipe, which is used for
•
peace.trift and conciliating the Great
These feel;ngs so wrought upon them
that when we were passing through a vil.
loge of theirs at and near the Traverse Do
Loix, 150 miles front the quarry, they as.
sembled in numbers around us, and made
us, prisoners, lavishing their threats upon
-- us in every possible form—telling us that
-, the Sioux had altogether in council resolv
ed that no white man should ever go there.
They threatened to kill our horses and oven
ourselves, if we nndertook to go on. We
persisted, however, in the determination to
go on, even at the risk of our lives, which
we did, [after being detained for some time]
though they sent expresses ahead ofut, and
. gathered around us, making us trouble and
vexation by their threats, and cries, and.
•• groans, at every village through - which we
passed. They considered it an invasion of
s , their religious privileges, and cons9quently
were very much distressed. We said eve.
cy thing we could to convince them that our
„Views were friendly, and that we went to
..'gratify our curiosity, instead of going as
they said, to see what it was worth. We
) did not satisfy them but we reached the
place with much difficulty, and sniffled
ourselves for all the trouble and toil of a
summer's campaign. Tshall in some firm
or other give the speeches of these Goths
and Vandals, as they were 'thrown in our
faces, Ad also many of their traditions and
superstitions which will he curious. •
In haste your friend,

A Noble Stand.
01 -We call attention to the proclamation
another column, by the Governor of Maryland.
It is a sound and able document, worthy the spirit
and patriotism of its author. The stand taken by
Gov. VEnzEir is the true one, and he should be
assisted in his determination to maintain the dig
nity of his State by all desirous of upholding her
Constitution and Laws.
The Election.
cri-The result of the late election in Pennsyl
vania could not have been more propitious to the
i 'citise of the "Supremacy of the Laws" that it has
been. A majority of Anti-Jacobins have been
elected to the Convention, and thus the Constitu
tion and Laws will he preserved inviolate. Thi.v
was the only real object worth contending for at
the late election. The Presidential contest was
unimportant. Although we would wish to see
Harrison President, yet let it be done without the
vote of Pennsylvania. Had this State gone for him,
it would have been the end of Anti-Masonry.---
The whole Lodge and "base compound" would
have shouted at once, "See Whiggery and com
promise is better than proscriptive Anti-Masonry!"
and Todd's sneer at pure Anti-Masonry would
have become the order of the day. Now all will
admit, that had we gone into a National Conven
tion and nominated Harrison, or some other one,
according to the usages of the party, by the proper
tribunal, the State would have been lost to Van
Buren by 10,000 majority. All has turned out
for the best, if our weak friends are not again over
reached by our wicked ones.
ElecliOn Returns.
(rs? Not having the Official returns from the
whole of the Counties in the State, we deem it
unnecessary to fill up our columns with "reported"
votes. In our next we shall he able, no doubt, to
give correct returns front all the Counties.
Ohio Election.
cc - yAs far as heard from, this State gives an in
creased vote for Harrison—nothing definite how
ever can be ascertained for some days.
A 111 ii-Slavery.
cOThe progress of this great cause is ON
WARD! We give below an article stating that a
Pennsylvania State Convention will be held in
Harrisburgh on the 19th of December next. The
Anti-Slavery Society of New York recently held
its second annual meeting, at which upwards of
400 delegates were in attendance! GERRITT
Smrrn, once the act;vc patron of Colonization,
was elected 118 President. Ten thousand dollars
were contributed and raised on the spot to dissemi
nate the doctrines of the Society! This is the
true spirit—it is like going to work with your
coat otE Con there not be an Anti-Slavery So
ciety formed in Adams county?
PENNSYLVANIA CONVENTION.—The call
for a Convention to be held at Harrisburg,
on the 19th of December, to form a Penn
sylvania State Anti Slavery Society, is sign
ed by nearly live hundred nameq, and ap
pears in the National Enquirer of Oct. 29.

USEFUL INVENTION FOR TILE SICR'OF TILE
ARMY.—Capt. H. L. Thistle, of New Or
leans, who commanded a company of Lou
isiana Volunteers during the last campaign
in Florida, has invented a saddle for the
conveyance of the sick on a march. The
invention has met with great favor among
the officers of the army—and the War 'De
partment, to testify its high opinion of It,
has already ordered fifty saddles to be made
for present purposes. It requires eight or
ten men, says the Army and Navy Chroni
cle, to carry a wounded man on a litter,
and the progress is very slow. By means
of Captain Thistle's saddle, a horse and
a man to lead him are sufficient, and the
patient is removed with less pain and 'in
convenience.

The above proclaims THE VOICE OF
MARYLAND, loud and deep, and in a
language not to be mistaken, by those "mon
sters in human shape" who have plotted the
overthrow of its Government. In the
words of the National Intelligencer, Van
Burenism has been in a state of collapse in
Nlaryland. it has expired. The friends
of order have risen in their might, and
crushed forever the last lingering hope of
the disorganizers. Every county in the
Sate, as far as we have heard, excepting
two, has pronounced sentence of •-ondem
nation against the anarchists. Frederick,
"the hot bed of sedigon," the residence and
stronghold of the pinta contriver of the
"Revolution or heform" scheme, and even
Washington, which never before went
against Jacksonism, have renounced both
one and the other. The Jacobins have
been taught a lesson which will last '
them during their lives, and be a warning
to all who come after them, who shall aim '
at power by the like violent and lawless
means.—Balt. Patriot.
Itic7'That ragged *adventurer, Amos
Kendall, Jackson's right hand man :a the
kitchen, has written a letter to Philadelphia,
which contains the fbllowing Jack Cade
principles:
From Amos Kendall's Letter, dated
"WASHINGTON, OCt. 22, 1836.
"The principle must be settled, that no
Legislative body can grant a charter or a
privilege which any subsequent Legislature
or the People in a convention may not ab

prove a mutual blessing to each other.

JUST RETORT.—A gentleman who re
sides in this vicinity, and who was a Lan
caster Pa. when Gen. Harrison was there,
has furnished the following statement, for
the truth of which he pledges his veracity.
'The Hon. James Buchanan, late minis
ter to Russia, called at a house, shortly
alter General Harrison had been there, and
addressing himself to a young lady of the
family, said; 'So, Miss—, I understand
the Old General has been with you,' •Yes,
sir, replied the young lady, 'Gen. Harrison
was hero.' And pray, Miss,' continued
the Senator, 'did you not present him 4ith
a petsicoat?"No, sir,' replied the young
lady, I did not; but if I had a sword and a
petticoat, I would have presented the sword
to the General, and the petticoat to you.'
DEATH OF MADAME MALIBRAN. —We
learn by late arrivals, that Madame Mali
bran de Beriot died of a fever at Manches.
ter, England, on the 23d of September.—
She was twenty•eight years old, in the flow
er of her age and in the zenith of- her repu
tation. She ranked deservedly as one of
the first, if not the first vocalist of the time,
and she was admirable both as an actress
and a singer. It may be bald that she com
menced her career in this country, having
only appeared once or twice in London be
fore brought by her father to New York in
the first Italian Opera Company which visi
ted the United States; and as the Signorina
Garcia, gave a strong impulse to the musi
cal taste of the public. The circumstances
of her marriage with Monsieur Malibran,
of New York, are familiar to, the public; as
well as her subsequent divorie in France,
and her marriage , with De Boriot, the vio

A QICF:STION FOR WEE LADIES_—Miss
Sedgwick, in a note to her new work, enti
tled "the Poor Rich Man, and the Rich
Poor Man," remarks as follows—" The
Superintendent of the House of Refuge in
this city (Boston) has said that be believed
the love of dress was the most efficient
cause of the degradation and miry of the
young females of the city. It this be so,
should not the reffirmation begin among the
educated and reflecting? Among the who
can afford indulgence?—Hour can a lady
whose dressi-s are teeming with French
laces, enjoin simplicity and economy on the
domestics?
.FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP.
There is a man who wants to rule
AU things in this our neighborhood,
As it regards the Common School
System—to which he is not good;
He surely was appointed once
As schoolnurn and as president;
But now he shows to be a dunce,
By all his malice and intents!
So now we have typeriufd by law
Three citizens ofour own choice,
To take some poser out alias paws!
Who choose our Teacher by their %vi m . ;
Wherefore he is quite raging now,
And bawls we should now have no School!
Because our Teacher will not bow
To him—of whom he chink's a fool! •
That same man lately said quite gas,
That he would nought glow fur wood,
For which out lair prosid'd the pay—
And this is prats . eworthy and good!
The best way is to thrust him out
Of office—for he is not fit;
And let him go to ll about,
There he may bawl out his poor wit.
These lines, though written in a haste, •
Will sure be bitter to his taste!

to be the largest in the country.

whom he represented as lying at the point of

black tur hat and other clothing, most of
which were new, and good. If he returns

BOTANIC PHYSICIAN,
I'ESPECTFULLY invites those who
are troubled with Rheumatic pnins,
either chronic or inflaniatory, to give him .
a call, having had very good success in cur
ing Rheumatism; and having within the
short space of time that lie has been here
had upwards of forty cases of Rheumatistia
under treatment, and havine , given relief in
every case, and failed in but five or six cases
of performing a complete cure—and some
of these wore through neglect on their piirtr,
and others to the long standing, of the dis
ease, so that no perfect cure could be expec
ted. Ho mould, therefore, invite those af
flicted with Rheumatic pains to givp hini
call, and satisfy themselves.. Not desiring
those who are unacquainted with him to re
' ly on his statement, but to come into his
neighborhood and enquire Of thoSe who
know, and satisfy themselves before they
employ him.

his former residence in Liberty township,
