Suffice 1 it therefore, for the present, to say, that it shall lie | conducted upon the broad ground of the public good 1 and for the general information. The great object and design of the publisher will be to make this a nncs-paper; not altogether and ex clusively so: but that its columns shall occasionally be enriched with productions, either original or select ed, upon the subjects of agriculture, manufacturts, and tlie arts; that articles will be gleaned from the gardens of poesy, literature, and science; that, in short, we shall endeavout to make it interesting and instructive to all classes of the community. Temperate and well written communications upon subjects of general interest will be thankfully receiv ed, and arc respectfully solicited. HENRY ADAMS. Lilchjitld, Jun. 23, 1029. The following Circular from the War Office, ex tending the construction to cases under the Pension Law not heretofore embraced by it, was handed in for publication last week, but inadvertently omitted. We now cheerfully give it an insertion. Department ok War, ) Dec. 26, 182e. 5 Sir—The present practice of your Office, in regard 4o the amount of property which under the law of May 1st, 1820, shall disqualify a person from receiving a pension,is deemed to be unequal in its operation upon different classes of applicants : To correct which in equality, the following rules will hereafter he observ ed. The object of the pension law is to provide for the absolute wants oflhc poor, hut meritorious soldierof the Revolution; and the highest rate of pension is supposed to he the smallest sum that will afford a com fortable support to an individual. In accordance with this principle, the following rule lias been adopted by tlie Department, and is hereby continued, viz: 1st. \V hen the whole property of :!ie applicant consists in n yearly income, (such as an nnmiiiy lor lile, bequest, rent or charge upon hinds, or any other incorporeal right) wh ich is not convertible into capital, lie shall not be deprived of n pension, unless sin h yearly in come exceed tlie full yearly pension of a soldier. In addition to which the following rules, corres ponding in princii le, are hereby established. 2. When the applicant’s properly consists in money, stock, houses, lands, or such other properly ns lie can at pleasure convert into money or rapital, it shall not deprive him of the right of pension, unless its yearly pioceeds, estimating them at 10 percent, on its total i alue shall he equal to the amount of a full pension. 3. When the applicant’s property is mixed,and con sists ot both species, he shall not lose his pension, un less their aggregate income, estimating by the preced ing rules, shall amount to a full yearly pension. As the Pension Laws of 1018 and 1820 are not pre dicated on any pre-existing engagement of the Gov ernment, but were intended as a gratuitous provision for the support of aged individuals, for the time being, the two last regulations will not be considered as re trospective in their operation. To obtain the benefits arising from the foregoing regulations, in every case where a claim has been re jected under the former regulations,a new declaration is now deemed essentially necessary, in order to show what is the present state of the claimant’s property, and to prove his identity. Very respectfully, l our obedient servant, PETER B. PORTER. James L. Edwards, Bsq. Pension Office. Mr. A damn and the Federalists.—Many of the pa per* have recently stated, but upon what authority we have not Item able to learn, that a correspondence has lately taken place between the President of the United State* anil scvetal gentlemen who were for merly leading members of the federal party, on the subject of the charges brought by the former against the latter just previous to the late presidential can vass. it is further said that one of Mr. Adams’ letters occupies upwards of thirty manuscript pages; that he treats the federal party with great stverity; and that it is probable the whole correspondence will be pub lished as soon it shall have been brought to a close.— If published, it would no doubt be eagerly sought for and read in every section of the United States; and in noue more than in New-F.ngland, where the fede ralists whose principles and patriotism the President - has called in question mostly reside. We shall give due notice of the appearance of the correspondence. Jackson in Fftgy.—We are sorry to learn by the papers that some worthless fellows in Hartford lately burnt the effirv of Gen. Jackson. The common council of the city, as well to manifest their abhor rence of the act as to punish the offenders, have of fered a reward of 100 dollar* for the apprehension of the persons guilty of this outrage. SENATORIAL APPOINTMENTS. lion. John IMmrt lot* he a elect'd a Senator in Congress from tbe Mete of Maine. to supply tbe va cancy occasioned In the icsigamion of Gov. Pam*. He formerly occupied this Nation; but some two years •go. I icing strongly suspected of harboring sentiment* unfriendly to the adminiMradnn of Mr. Adams, Gov. I’arns was elected in his Mead. Gov. P. however proved recreant; threw a somerset, and ramc out for Jackson, while Mr. Holme*, shortly after the terrible castigation iie received from Mr. Randolph, declared openly and decidedly for the administration. What course lie may pursue tinder the Jackson dynasty, re mains to he seen. Should he continue firm, instead ol proving “a tartar,” Cion. Jackson will probably have a majority of the Senate op|Hised to him. The Legislature of Maine have also elected the Hon. i’eleg Sprague, at present a talented adminis tration member of the House of Representatives, to the Senate of the United States, in place of General Chandler, a Jacksonian, whose time will expire on the 4th of March next. Hon. Nathaniel Silsbee lias been re-elected to the Senate for six years from the 4th of March next by the Legislature of Massachusetts. Hon. Littleton TU. Tazeicell has been recently re elected to the United States’ Senate from Virginia by an almost unanimous vote. George M. Bibb, Esq. a Jacksonian, has been elec ted to supply the place of the redoubtable Colonel Richard M. Johnson in the Senate of the United States from Kentucky. This we are glad to learn, for various reasons. It will he recollected that it was this same Col. Johnson who made the impious decla tioniti Washington that the administration of Mr Ad ams should he “ put down, though pure as the angels in heaven.” That administration has, indeed, been * put down :’ hut there is some consolation in tho re flection that lie who made the aliovc assertion, and who made the most strenuous efforts to effect it, is himself 1 put down’ by his own constituents. In Delaware, John M. Clayton, Esq. has been e lectod a Senator in ill* place of Mr. Ridgeley, whose time expires on the 4tli of March. Mr. C. is a sup porter of the present administration, Mrr"R. a Jack sonian. Charles E. Dudley, Esq. Mayor of Albany, lias been elected Senator in Congress from the Slate of New-York, vice Martin Van Bnren, elected Gover nor. The vote of the two houses of the Legislature was, for Dudley 102, other candidates 47. Dr. Ephraim Bateman, Senator from New-Jersev, has resigned his scat on account of continued ill health. The time of his colleague, Mr. Dickinson, will expire in March. The Legislature is now in session. As Mr. D. is a Jacksonian, though an able and influential member of the Senate, lie will proba bly not succeed in a re-election. Hon. Mr. Webster arrived in Washington on the 12tli inst. and took bis sent in the Senate. (CP Among the rumours of the day, it is said Mr. Webster will lie ofleicd a seat in Jackson’s cabinet. Harvard University.—At a recent meeting of the Corporation of this highly distinguished literary in stitution, lion. Josiah Quixcv, late Mayor of Bos ton, was chosen President. The appointment has yet lo he acted on by the Board of Overseers, a meeting of which has been called lor the purpose. Mr. Q. as a statesman, and magistrate, is unquestionably active, industrious, and persevering, and possesses talents of (lie highest order: but while such men ns Ware, and Everett, nnd Sparks were willing to accept of the station to which lie is called, we .should think that a literal! nnd scientific institution of the reputation of Harvard would be more likely to flourish under the management of either of those gentlemen. Mr. Q. is said to be a Unitarian. Salisbury. Jan. 19,182#. Mr. Editor— I learn from the newspapers of last week that the Convention assembled at Middletown on the 8th inst. nominated me as a candidate lor election to Congress at the ensuing election in this state. I beg leave to say to the electors, 'hrongli your paper, that I wish not to be considered is a candidate for an election to the next Congress. Respectfully your ob't servant, SAMUEL CHURCH. A NOMINATION BY THE PEOPLE. Mr. Editor—It is well known that the republican members of the Legislature from this eounty, refused last spring to have any thing to do with a Legisla tive Caucus. Hence no nomination has been made i>ut for Litchfield County, either for Congress or the Senate of this state. The proceedingsnt Middletown on a late occasion, were ol so singular a character that they do not amount to a nomination, and little notice will he taken of them in this part of the state. It has occurred to me that there can be no objection to a nomination by the People, though it must be confessed that it is in direct opposition to Caucus us:ige. Therefore please insert the subjoined votes in favor of Hon. Homer Boardaian, which it is pre sumed may he considered as a decisive expression of public sentiment in favor of his continuauce in the Senate of this Ssate. A SUBSCRIBER.

Bets.—The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania have decided that bets of any kind about any human being, are not recoverable in a Court of justice. The rea soning is,that such, bets are either malicious,indecent, or indelicate, and therefore illegal. A’etc Case.—At the last election in Georgia, the Hon. George R. Gilmer was one of the gentlemen chosen to the 2lst Congress. Governor Forsyth is sued a proclamation requiring all those elected to no tify him of their acceptance, and to send him evi dence of their clegihilily. Mr. G. failed or declined to comply, and on the lapse of 40 days the Governor ordered an election to be held throughout the state for the choice of a person in his stead. The Western (Ohio) Titles contains a very sensible and interesting paper on the population of the United States, in reference to the approaching census of 1850. The nnmberof inhabitant* in 1790 was 3,816, 450, and calculating for the past rntio of increase, it will be at the next census, 12,520,500, giving an in crease within these periods, of 8,004,041. Front this estimate the following important farts arc deduced. The population of the United States has in 40 years been tripled. The States which in that time have received the greatest accession of numbers, are, New-York, Ohio, ami Pennsylvania. That the middle and western non-slave holding States, being New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, have in the same space of time, multiplied their people more thanJite fold, and contain now more tlinn half the white inhabitants of tlie United Stales. That the southern slave holding states, so called. Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Louisiana, have, in that period, only doubles! and front nearly half,are recuced to less than one third of the whole popula tion. I hat in reterence to the most important points 01 national policy, the protection of American industry, the centre of power has been entirely changed. The Franklin Republican say*: “They have to pay /#ur dollars for the liberty of getting married in Maryland; in Baltimore alone, - last year, this tax a mounted to $3 376. Why not fleece the ‘dear lambs’ a little for court ng, too?” From a reeeir calculation, the population of Tur key appears to amount to 8.899,000 souls. Dividing them into classei, there will be found about 3,000 Greeks, 2,500,000 Sclavonians, 2,000,000 Turks, 2, 000,000 AlbaniaLS, and 1,500,000 Wallacbians and Romeliots. Claming the population by religious sects, we find 3,OCO,000 Mussulmans, 6,000,000 Chris tians of the Greek Church, and 1,000,000 Catholics, the remainder being of the Jewish persuasion.
