';'.AOIkEIGN 'NEWS. ,I*PORTANT FROM tho ship Atm WlC.ifit; from Canton, we have paper* oft* 26th Nine. The first portion of the British naval fordes froni India, arrived on the k 9th cif June in the Chinese waters, con sist:rig of the Wellesley,74, Alligator, 2g, Cruiser, 16; with some armed steamers, and some 14 transports with troops. A regular blockade of , the river and port of Canton was notified to take effect on 28th June; by the commander of the Wellesley, i J. - J. Gordon Bremer, who is senior officer until the arrival of Admital Elliot. The Chinese, on the arrival of the squadron, at tempted to burn the ships by fire rafts—but they were quietly towed ashore by the boats of tho squadron. Foreign ships would be allowed to depart salsas detained by the Chinese. A cargo of poisoned tea paCked in small parcels, to be sold to the sailors, had, it was reported, been sent down by the Chinese. It was however captured by pirates, and sold to the people on the coast, among whom, in consequence, there had been ma ny deaths. A part of the squadron had proceeded to the North, the object being, as is surmised, to take possession of Tinghoe district, in the province of Chekeang—in other words, "the island of Chuean." This is a "fair, fertile, and populous district,".and would be easily subdued. Every one , was preparing to leave Can ton, and all foreign business would be wound up in eight or ten days. Up to the 25th Juno,no other hostilities had occurred. It was reported in Canton that an edict is just published, offering rewards for Capt. Elliott, and the rest of the English, dead or alive. TWENTY DAYS LATER FROM CTITNA.- Arrival of the British Fleet—Blockade of Canton—ASuspension of the Tea Trade— War between England and China—Pre. parations on both sides.—By the arrival of the Ann M'Kim, Capt. Martin, in 104 days tram Canton, we have received 20 days la ter intelligence from China and the East, than by the overland mail by the way of Egypt and England. This news is of the mightiest importance to the civilizod and commercil world. We have given a variety of extracts from Canton papers, together with our car . respondence, exhibiting and describing one of the greatest military movements that has taken place in Asia, since the era of Ghen - gis Khan, of Alexander the Great, or of Mahornet and the Caliphs. - It will be perceived that only a part of the British force had arrived, but that they intend to land in China and attack its pow er with 10,000 well disciplined Europeans, 1,000 riflemen, and 3,000 Cameronians, with ample stores of artillery, to carry in to eflect the , demonstration upon that em pire. With this military force, backed by a naval force, and four large war steamers, there is every probability, that as great a revolution will be produced on China, and on Asia, as the 600 fierce and bold troops of Cortes effected on the ancient Mexican empire. The progress of this movement is fraught with important consequences to the history of Asia and of the world. In former ages all the conquerors, and master spirits of revolution, came from Asia, towards Eu rope, with one solitary exception—Alexan der the Great. Now Europe is returning the poisoned chalice to the-East, and a terri ble change will be produced in consequence. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. Tho steam ship Great Western, Captain Hoskins, arrived at New York on Tuesday about 12 o'clock, M. The papers by her are to the 6th ult. from. London, and to the 9th ult. from Bristol. The Great Western sailed on the 7th inst. at 2 P. M. from Bristol and was there fore about 17 days on the passage. We make extracts from the Courier and Enquirer, and Commercial Advertiser. Ibrahim Pasha, the eon of Mehernet Ali, has been totally routed, and has fled to the mountains with only 200 followers. The English had laid seige to St. Jean d'Acre and expected to take it without much trou ble. We learn from an authentic source, that on the night previous to the last dates from London, that Gen. Hamilton had concluded a treaty with Lord Palmerston. England recognizes the independence of Texas and assumes the character of mediator between Texas nod Mexico. The London papers announce the death of Sir Anthony Carlisle, the celebrated sur geon. He died on the 2d instant, in the 73rd year of his ago. Among the passengers in the Western is the Hon. Mr. Walenbirg, minister to the court of Vienna, his lady daughter and ser vants, and the Hon. James Birney. The Presidency of the French Chambers was not determined, but it was confidently expected that the Ministerial candidate would be carried by at least 20 majority. The affaws of Syria go badly for the Egyptian. Rim troops, in pitched batttle, were beaten by the Turks, and all Syria seem lost to Ibrahim there. The young Queen of Spain made her entry into Madrid on 29th October, accom panied by General Espartero. She was well received. There have been fearful inundations in the South of France, owing to the overflow ing dills Rhone pod Saone. ln the lower town of Lyons many houses and much property was damaged, and the country UMW Wks under water. By this arrival we have the speech of the Faukch Xing at the opening_of the Cham bers no the sth Mist:, which, it, will be seen, expresos con6det,ce in the ' duration of The tranquili'y of Paris had-tuet been disturbed--at least so it is inferred from the &et that no disturbance is alluded to in -tile-Parts correspondence of the Landon papers, forwarded by express. SPEECH OF THE KING OF THE FRENCH. "Gentlemen, Peers and Deputies. "I have felt the necessity of assembling you round me ,before the *Mary period of the convocation of the Chambers. The measures which the Emperor of Austria, the Queen of Great Britain, the King of Prus3ia, and the Emperor of Russia have taken in concert. to regulate the relations between the Sultan and Pacha of Egypt, have imposed serious duties upon me. I have the dignity of our country at heart as much as its security and repose. In per severing in this moderate and conciliatory policy of which we have reaped the fruit for the last ten years, I have placed France in a position to face the chances which the course of events in the East may produce. The extraordinary credits which have been opened with this intention will be submitted to you, and you will appreciate the motives of them. continue to hope that the general peace will not be disturbed. It is necessa. ry for the general and common interests of Europe, the happiness of its population, and the progress of civilization. I depend upon you to assist me to maintain it, as I should rely upon it if the honor of France, and the rank which she holds among nations, com manded us to make new efforts. "Peace is re-established in the north of Spain, and we congratulate ourselves on that happy result. We should see with grief that the evils of anarchy came to replace the evils of civil war. "I have the most sincere interest in Spain; may the stability of Isabella 11., and of the institutions which ought to sus tain the throne, preserve this noble country from the long and grievous evils of revolu• tions. "Not having obtained from the Argen tine Republic the satisfaction which we have claimed, I have ordered that new for ces should be added to the squadron charg ed to ensure respect for our rights, and pro• tectiob for our interests. "success has crowned several important expeditions in Africa, where the valor ofour soldiers has been signalized—two of my sons have partaken their perils. Exertions welsh!f necessary to guarantee in Algeria the safety and prosperity of our establish ments. My Goyernment will know how to accomplish what we have undertaken. "The city of Boulogne has been the The- atre of a foolish attempt,- which has only served again to call forth the devotion of the National Guards, of the army, and of the population. All ambition will fairagainst a monarchy founded and defended by the all-powerful expression of the national will. "The Budget Law will soon be submitted to your examination. I have prescribed the most severe -economy, in the establish ment of the ordinary expenses. Events have imposed upon us unexpected charges. I have the confidencethat public prosperity, at its extreme pitch, will permit us to sup port them, without affecting the state of our finances. "Other dispositions will be presented to you of public utility, in behalf of literature and education. "Gentlemen, "1 have never claimed with more earn estness and confidence your loyal co-opera tion. Anarchist passions have not been discouraged by impotency. Under what• ever form they may be presented, my Gov. ernment will find in tne existing laws, and in the firm maintenance of the public liber ties, the necessary arms to put them down. As for me, in the trials imposed on me by Providence, I can only be grateful for the protection which it has not ceased to throw over me, ab well as my family, and to prove to France, by a neVer• failing attention to her interests and happiness, the gratitude inspired in me by the testimonials of affec tion with which it surrounds me in these cruel moments." -..reeipe, - To THE Wnica.—By your patriotic ef forts, the ‘Vhig principles of Seventy-Six have ODC3 more gloriously triumphed. No one who duly estimates the importance of this victory to the great cause of Republi can liberty, can ask that all feelings of ex ultation should be suppressed. But while, with gratitude to Heaven, we rejoice in this auspicious result, let us in the spirit of pa triotism, labor to enhance its blessings to our country. Let no individual now cease from his of to enforce the principles upon which we have contended for a change of the ad ministration. The President for one term only, is a land mark never to be departed from, and during that term, take care that he abstan from electioneering for his successor. Retrenchment of the expenses of the gen eral government—real Retrenchment is demanded and must be effected. If we may hot reduce the amount to that of for mer periods, we may, must, wits. insist, that the salaries of the hundreds, thousands of office holders, who are now paid (or elec tioneering services, shall be abolished, or diminished to a fair compensation for other duties, if any. Let that vilest exhibition of iniquity, fraud, and infamy, the FLORIDA WAR, be at ores ended, by an amicable and just settle ment with the handful of Seminoles in that territory. Let the new Secretary of the Treasury bring to a settlement every officer in his Department-.-aseertain the amount of una vailable funds in the hands of the Swart wouts and others—also the true amount of the Van Buren National Debt-L•and put iu operation a system tor its 9peedy payment. Let every Whig insist on the perform ance, to the letter, of the Jefiertionian doc trine, that the interference of the office holdere in the freedom of elections "shall he cause of remora." Let the Whigs•neyer cease to cry aloud spina the present loose system of appro priatione by Congress' in gross same, and let them demand, that we return to "specif ic approp.-iations" "and no transfer. " " The President elect is pledged to the ob servance'of the above demoCratic doctriore —and further, that he forbear from enhan cing executive power by encroachment ap on the Legislative and judiciary depart ments. Rut let no reliance 011 professions induce us to forget that "liberty is guaran teed to man upon thei condition of eternal vigilanca,"—end let the first step toward the usurpation of power, by whatever exec. utive, meet the rebuke it merits from the people. Our Representatives in Congress must be taught, that they hold their office as our servants, and not as slaves of the President. In a word, let us not from favor to those who may be in power, give the least cone tenance to any departure from the pried ples we profess; and we shall again soon see our Government administered upon the doc trines of the old Republican platform, and our country once more on the full tide of glorious prosperity.—Wortsmouth Journal. PEACE OR WAR IN EUROPE.—The New York American says—A more careful pei sal of our English papers by the Caledonia, serves but to confirm the opinion hereto. fore expressed in this paper, and reiterated yesterday, that peace will be preserved.— Louts Philippe hasjustified in this,instance the confidence reposed by the moderate men of all parties and nations in his firmaeFs and virtue. A soldier him-self—not with. out laurels—and governing an essentially military people, he has yet had the courage to resist the urgent impatience of alarge portion of that people for a new war. He has preferred the safe, the moral, the hu. manizing yet obcsure triumphs of peace, to the glittering. blood•bought, and crime producing glories of war. He hazards throne and life in the cause of humanity, and ho is entitled to the admiration and support of Christendom, for such great mo. nil daring. We believe he will carry his point, and secure the repose of the world, without compromitting in • any way either the rights or the honer of the French pee ple. We most ardently desire that such may be the result. GEN. HARRIS bN IN LOIIISVILLE.—The Louisville Journal of the'lBth inst. says: Gen. Harrison arrived here in the mail boat, about one o'clock yesterday morning. His visit was altogether on business; but few patriotic spirits immediately assembled and greeted his arrival with a continind roar of cannon for more than an, hour:— Through the day, thousands of sturdy free men thronged to the Galt House to pay their respects to the veteran warrior and statesman; and he was prevailed en to re main till this morning.

AN Inrosrsu.—A letter from London, dated Oct. 31st says: A fellow has been doing the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States the honor des suming his name and title, and with the aid of the same levying sundry contributions on the credulous and good natured. He has also assumed the names of J. W. Mor ris and of Maynard, under which patrons• mica he has achieved a tolerable stroke of swindling. It appears that hie real name is Malloy, and that he is the son of a lady of large fortune residing at the West-End of the metropolis. An expose relative to the scoundrel took place at the Mansion House on the 28th, but he has not himself, as yet, made his appearance at the police court. COUNTERFEIT..-•A new counterfeit made its appearance yesterday in the "hope of a [fifty dollar note on the Hagerstown Bank. The plate (which is new; and entirely dif , ferent from the present issue) is certainly a genuine one, and there is no doubt that either the plate or impressions from it have been stolen. The engraving of every part, of the note is executed in the most masterly style, and purports to have been done by Underwood, Bald,Spencer and Hefty, Phil adelphia. The note before us is dated 4th May, Is4o. Letter A. No. 321, and is signed Ely Beatty, Catihier, and Wm. Hey ser, President. 'Vie signatures are coun terfeits, and it is proper to remark that Mr. Heyeer has been dead for upwards of two years. ' We are not aware that the Hagers town Bank has yet joined any notes of this new plate; and it would therefore be' the surest way to avoid imposition, to refuse them altogetber.—American. 4-No notes of the above deeeribed plate, we understand, have been issued by the Elsgerstown Bink.—En. tirat: DIRCOVERY IN ELSCITICITY.:-A curious and probably a most important discovery in this branch of natural , philosophy, was, made about d fortnight ago in a boiler at, tached to a hauling;Rine, at Seghill, on the Cramlington Railway, near Newcastle. 'The engineman, on attempting to lay hold of the lover of the safety valve, received what he described as a severe blow which nearly caused him to fall; he a second time attempted it, and received a similar blow. This having been made known, an exami nation of the boiler followed, and . it was found that the steam which was escaping from s"bloteee" near to the safety valve was highly charged with electricity. Our informant states that on himself placing one hand in the steam, sparks upward of half an inch in length were emitted from the other, and this while he steed upon the ma sonary which was surrounding the boiler: so that had he been upon a glees stool the effects would have been much greater.— We are glad to hear that this discovery is being followed up by experiments on other boilers. When the discovery was nelde y it was considered by many to be owing to the quality of the water used, which was pumped from the coal mine; subsequently, however, on trying the steam from a loco motive engine on the Newcastle and North Shields railway, a great quantity of electri city was obtained, and the water used in this case was from the liver Tyne. The subject is highly interesting, and we hope that the discovery may lead to useful re sults; the explosion of boilers has hitherto baffled research and it is not improbable that electricity is intimately connected with it.—Dedham, (Eng.) Ado. - Dts.ts-rzn.—The British Queen on the Bth inst., lat. 49.0, lon. 59.40. fell in with the brig Margaret, of Severs, from Dalhou sie, to Leith, timber laden, with mainmast and bulwarks gone. and water-lo g ged; ob served several men on her forecas tle, stop ped the engines and sent the cutter and rescued five men, viz—David Smith;-mas ter; John Scott, mate; Robert Dalkee, Geo.

Votes or Tits Wgsr.—The four States, of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Tennis see will, of tbem.selves, give a clear major ity of between 75 to 60 thousand votes for General Harrison, to say nothing of the votes be vill get in the other States.— This is a fact of some little consequence and should be taken into consideration by the Globe and Albany Argus when they are calling upon "the party" to rise up and vacate the election. If they would take a friend's advice, we would advise them to let that matter alone, for just so sure as they "rise," just so sure will they have to squat, and that too a little lower than any set of office-holders ever did before.—Frank fort Commonwealth. DAMAGES AGAINST A STEAM Docroß• Moses Bragden, of Boston, has been sued for damages before the Comnion Pleas in that city, for injuring Cushing Vinal, of Scituate, by mixing in a medical bath, a large quantity of cayenne pepper, which caused violent pain. smarting, and burning upon the body of the patient, distortion of his flesh, inflammation and painful contras• lion of his muscles, which so affected him in the then debilitated state of his body, and in particular of his nervous system, as greatly to endanger his life. The defence was that Bragden took this coarse to get Vinal out of the house, to accommodate some lady patient. The jury rendered a verdict of 8250 damages against Bragden. ONE TENN.—We are not among those who would lightly touch that sacred char ter—THE CONSTITUTION OF TIM UNITED STATE& We would not approach it with any forward feeling, or in any frame of mind, but that of unfeigned and profound rever ence. We should regard that man as bold, indeed, who would not have some difficulty in attempting to take from or add to any in strument produced by men whose en lightened wisdom and genuine patriotism are hallowed to the memories of all true Americans, and which won the admiration and respect of the wisest and best in all countries. Yet it must be admitted that the history of the last few years, and especially of the great contest which is now closed, has shown the necessity of adopting an amendment requiring that the President shall hold his office but for one term and shall be ineligible thereafter. Mr. TALL MADGE presented a resolution to that etDct on the 31st of January, 1829, in the Uni ted States Senate.—.Madisonian. • A GRANDFATHER MAIIIRTEW MS GRAND DAIIGEITER. — The Philadelphia Ledger gives the following account of a recent marriage in that city, between parties disabled by the laws ofGod and man, to enter into that state. On Motkdu las:Jour person, two mates, and twofeinales, called at the office of Al derman Cimpbe i l. and desired that Iwo of them should be married. Those who Step. ped forward for the purpose, were Mr. Jas. Eneu, said to be aged eighty.fom• years, and Miss Emma Haines, .said to be aged ' about twenty. Alderman Campbell made all thalegal inquiries particularly, and the more so, because of the disparity in the ages of the parties. Besides the two, were present a gentleman who Alderman Como bell knew to be the next door neighbor of Mr. Eneu, and a lady who represented her self as the sister of the bride. To all his interrogatories, they with one accord repli ed that there was no just impediment.— Thus assured, the Alderman could not but proceed, end the ceremony was performed, , and the parties left the oak° About night. I fall, a person called on Alderman Campbell, and informed him that he had married a' grandfather to his granddaughter; and on enquiry this was proved to be the fact. He felt perfectly free from blame, because ho had done all that the law required at his hands, and placed every dependence upon the respectability of those concerned. The The marriage, wo are assured, has never been constilamated. The mother of the bride and herself live at the house of Mr. Eneu. On Tuesday Mr. E. called on the Alderman, and wished him to cancel the certificate, which was out of his power, but ho inquired of him why he had not infUrtm ed him of the disability. Mr. Eneu repli ed that he was vet aware at the time of what he now knew, that both the laws of the land and of the church to which he was attached forbade a contract of marriage be. tween all so allied. It is null and.void to all intents and purposes. Yam, Pa. Nov. 25. Final—Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Wednesday last the cry of "FIRE!" was rai sed in our streets, and the flames soon burst forth from a barn of Dr. Jonx Rouss, situ ate on an alley running north and south in the rear and to the east of South George street, and nearly back of the large Luther. an Church. Another barn of Dr. Roues' on the opposite side of the alley and the stable appurtenant to the parsonage of the German Reformed Church were soon on fire, and those three buildings were burned to the ground. The activity of the firemen prevented the flames from consuming - the Parsonage Douse and the jail stable which were close at hand, and they were arrested without doing ltirther damage than that mentioned in the last sentence. It is generally supposed that this fire was the work' of an incendiary, and we under stand that an individual named Adam Mil. ler (cordwainor) is confined in jail to await his trial.--Republican. ABRIVAL OF EninnArrrs.—The number of persons who arrived in this country from foreign ports in 1839, was 70,000. Of these, 70,509 were foreigners: 34,000 from Great Britain and Ireland; 19,000 from Germany, and 7,000 from France. Of the number, 47.600 arrived at New York, 10,- 000 at Now Orleans, 6,000 at Baltimore, 3.000 at Philadelphia and 3,090 at Boston: 143 were clergymen, and 154 physicians. The number which will be netted to our population during the present year, will ex ceed 100,000. , The emigration to this country in the next ten years will amount each year to a number sufficient to consti tute a State. TRIAL or W. P. DARNES.—The trial of William P. Dames, on an indictment char. ging him with causing the death of A. J. Davis proprietor of, , the St. Louis Argus, came . on in that city, on the sth inst. A great number of witnesses were examined, and after the addresses of able counsel on each side, the case was given to the jury on the afternoon of the 13th inst. having thus occupied the attention of the Court for eight days. On the morning of the 14th, as wo learn by n slip from the office of the St. Louis Bulletin, "the jury rendered a verdict of manslaughter in the fourth degree— Fined 500 dollars." From the scope of the testimony, the nc• cused appears to have sustained an excellent reputation, up to the moment of the affray with 'Davis, which resulted so fatally. It was in evidence that Mr. Dames was a peaceable man, not at all given to quarrel. ling, lied that, even in the very high provocation given him in Mr. Davi.'s paper, tire Argus, ho shewed a remarkable degree of. forbearance, and patience under wrong. His demand of an "explanation" from Da vis, was doubtless deemed reasonable and even necessary, on all sides; and the testi mony in the case, leads to the inference that ho met Davis in the hope. and proba bly in the expectation, that the latter would give such an explanation as should prevent any personal collision or further difficulty. The sudden passion which overcome him, at finding, the explunationwithheld (so just ly his due, under the circumstances,) led to the infliction of injury on the head of Da vis, with the cane in his hand, which doubt. less caused the death of the latter, about a week after the affray. Both Dames and Davis had excellent characters for pacific and correct deportment; and they had in fact, until within a short ported of the of fray, been personal and political friends. The whole case—the excessively taunting provocation, and (when explanation was sought and withheld) the fierce and fatal - vengeance taken while smarting under' "in tolerable wrong," is full of warning. The result ►s eloquent in its teachings, in every aspect of the case; and we trust that the lesson, which costs so much, will not be in vain.--Balf. Patriot. From the Fort Plain N. Y.

The fiendish wretch I.kawise acknowledged that he'struck the unfortunale boy Prime ; with the axe, with the intention of murdering him also, and that ho thought when ha left the vessel that he had accomplished his purpose. Th . some farther inquiries of the officers, ho moreover said, "I took the hatehet, fraind in the cabin, • tvith me to kill the captain and mate in case they woke while' I was taking their things."

The Next Governor. We obrorve that several of the Democratic jour nals have commenced Governor making. It is well enough to look ahead. We have acheived one glorious victory over prostrate Federalism; bet wo have another arduous battle to fight and important victory to win next October, before the Democratic standing of Pennsylvania will be . per manently established. No State was ever cursed and disgraced with so corrupt and 'foramens an executive as she now is. We can see no impro priety in suggesting the names of eminent mon, proper to bo considered fur that high office. But this must be dono in no partizan spirit, but with a determination to acquiesce in the selection which shall be made by the Democratic State Convention. The following [moons have been already na med by some of our brethreu:_Mr. M 'Kennon of Washington county; Messrs. Denny, Forward and Biddle of Allegheny; Mr. Ogle of Somerset; and Mr. Banks of Berks. We would add for the consideration of the peo ple the names of Mr. Minntaswantn, of Union, .g Pmcnose, of Cumborland, .. HrtaTsn, of Lancaster, and NArLon, or Philadelphia county If Amos Er.r.mamEn could be persuaded to take office, his name would settle all difficulties, as we doubt not ho would be nominated and elected by acclamation. But we fear his aversion to office is unconquerable. We have been handed for publication, a Song, to the tune of "Come all ye Virginia boys," com posed by a gentleman in Conowago township, which it would gratify us to insert; but as it con tains some hard thrusts at the discomfited Loco focos, we relrsin from publishing it at present, as wo do not wish to add to the bitterness of their defeat. We shall however hold it up for use when they grow saucy. NORTII C•ROLINA SENATORS.—Tho work of reform has commenced and by North Caroline, who wee among tho first to take bold ground for Gon.

The circumstance attending this distres sing °neurones., were as follows—the lad got the gun from his brother's home, just across the road, and sopposiog it not to be loaded, (he basing shot in it the kirenoco,) thought he walld stare his mother by snapping the gm close to her door (not see ing his sitter when he snapped it) hot on the report of thegus he saw her all.

Drarnesszno SIIIPWItECKS AND Loss OF LlvEs.--Frorn two seamen who arrived in town on Tuesday night from Currituck beach, we learn the following particulars:— They state that they belonged to the sloop William J. Watson, of and for Philadelphia, from St.. John's River, (1... F.) laden with pitch pine lumber, which vessel was cast away on Boddy's Island on the night of the 15th inst. The second mate, brother-in law to tho Captain, and one of the crow were lost. They also state that a sloop of about 40 tons burthen, foundered off New Inlet, and all on board perished. They distinctly heard their cries for help, but having lost their boat could render them none. They also report, that a full rigged brig, understood to have been bound to Boston, went ashore about the stb inst. to the South- ward of Boddy's Island, and had all hands except two, drowned. Tue CABINET Discussrori.—The Atlas, one of the original Harrison papers, publish ed in Boston, contains under the above head, the following pertinent remarks: It is hardly worthwhile, we think, for the press to make a Cabinet for Gen. Harrison. ' He may as well be left to perform that duty himself. lie comes into the Presidency with such strength of public confidence and public opinion in his favor, that, whether in regard to the formation of his Cabinet or other important measures, he has no occa sion to regard anv thing but the greatest good of the country, and the general wishes of the people. These we know he will con call, conscientiously and wisely, and we await his decision. We object, therefore, altogether, and from the start, to ALL at. tempts to limit or trammel his discretion. The People have chosen him, on the reli• ance that when the proper time arrives, he will exercise his own judgment; and that, we are fully persuaded-he will do. Nor do we Think. it at all necessary to anticipate who may, or who may not, be candidates for the Presidency four years hence. • Events, yet future, must of course essectiallv bear on that question, and con trol in decision. When the proper time arrives, a selection will be harmoniously made, no doubt, after the fortunate and sue• I eessful example of the Harrisburg Conven tion of last year. Meanwhile, it is obviously improper that Gen. Harrison should either embarrass himself, or be embarrassed by others, from considerations connected with a subject so contingent and uncertain in its nature, and in regard to which the proper f time °faction is so remote. • . We only add, that to rescue the country from the numerous evils which it is now suf• feting, to reinstate the public prosperity, restore the public liberty, and bring back the Constitution to its former condition, will require not only all the'wisdom and experi ence of Gen. Harrison' himself, but the aid of the ablest men in the country, wheretler they may be found. Nothing could be more apropos just at this time, were claims are put forward by men who have scarcely had the courage to avow their sentiments before the election. TUE LATE STEAMBOAT ACCIDENTIt is stated in the Vicksburg Sentinel of the 11th ult. that the late melancholy accident oh board the steamboat Perdian, which resulted in the death of hfleen or twenty persons, occurred "alter a well contested race be• tween her and the Rienzi, and the United States." The Sentinel adds, that this, "ac count may be relied upon as correct," as it is given upon the authority of the Captain of the Meteor. JUSTICE UNLAWFULLY ADMINISTERED. — A gentleman lately from Richland county, says that,during Gen. Harrison's visit there, a few weeks since, a Van Buren man was delegated to insult the General when about to depart, by hoisting a petticoat near , him, the insult was then suffered to pass and all was quiet as to it, until the elections were over. He was then called upon to give up the names of those who put him forward in the dirty work, whichre refused—after which he was attired in 106 Co loco petticoat, with an outward adornment of geese feath ers and tar from head to foot•—Cin. Gaz. General Jackson said "I leave this great people prosperous and happy." Mr. Van Buren, on the 4th of March, may not leave them "prosperous," but ho will leave them exceedingly "happy." PROSPECT or Bost:vim—The Boston Atlas of Monday says:—lt is already clear ly discernible that the certainty of a change of administration, has effected favorably the business of the country. This is perfectly natural. and was to have been expected. Long before General Harrison and the new Congress, can adopt any measures whatev er, the benefit of his election and the election of Congress, agreeing with him, generally, in political sentiment, will be felt all over the country. Vie reason is, that CORM TIERCE will be revived. Men will feel, and indeed do feel, that power is about depart ing from scheming, selfish hands, into the bands of an administration, BEALL! AND HONESTLY FRIENDLY to the People, and seeking only the public good. Men of bu siness have been heretofore timid; alarmed, afraid of their own governrotnt. They now feel a new consciousness of safety. Every man of property realizes that hie' property is MORE VALUABLE. Every in. dasirious man feels that his employment and profitable occupation for the future, is more certain; and every laboring man of iruelligence, and not blindly wedded to par ty„ rejoices in the overthrow of a govern. [DPW, WHOSE POLICY rr WAS TO DURIPIISE THE WAG= OF LABOR. That these feelings are common and gen. eral, every one may satisfy himiell who will go among the putscuANTs, TEE CRAPIaI, THE SHIPOWNEES aqd TER INDUS, TRIOUS CLASSES OF TUE cammunrrv. Eve ry where he will meet with. happy counte• stances and cheerful salutation, and all the evidences or new - assurance or prosperity. We believe, indeed, that many of the more considerate friends of the present adminis• 'ration join, themselves, •in. Allis general sentiment, and partake in the improved hopes of the business community. TAE ARBARSINATION OF PuorEsson DA. vrs.—The Richmond Star states that the young man who wail with the assassin of Professor Davis, has confessed the whole matter.

WOOD AND WOULD.—The Vermont Spir it of the Ago talks to its patrons on this subjeCt in the following manner: "We would like a load of wood if any body would like to pay us in wood who owes us for the'Age. By the way, we would say, that the way we have used would in this advertisement for wood is ungrammatical; and that we would not have need would in the way we have used would, but that WOULD, took a notion that would, would sound so much like wood, that nob Ody could tell the differ , ence between would and wood; and WOOD, being taken of the same notion, to wit, that would and wood, would sound an nearly alike that nobody could tell the difference between would and wood, they both togeth er, i. e. would and wood, would compel us to use would instead of should, which would have been grammatical. Nevertheless, we really would like the wood, as soon as any body would like to draw us the wood, for we would say that we are all out of wood. Please mind, that it is wood, not would hat we would like, Is IT so?-1Vtacnish, in one of his essays, says: "I have remarked, . and .
