last Monday, says that then* had hern a using about
twenty miles trotii Montreal on Sunday, in which
the insurgents had capinrnl the lion. Mr. l.lliee, his
wife and Ins wile's sister, ami si* or eight llntisli
soldiers, alter wounding two. The gentleman saw
one ol the wounded men ninught into Montreal._
He had been Int by lour bullets. The insurgents
wi nt on to Hit Indian church while the Indians were
assembled, and endeavored to induce them to join
the inmirieefion. lint instead of this, the Indians
made war upon the insurgents, and captured twenty
«*r thirty ol them. No nppiehenMon was lull for the
personal senility of Mr Klliccaml his family. We
I beh ve the gentleman who bungs this intelligence
is entitled to belief.
In reference to the letter piinted in out morning
.edition, Mr. M’Kcnzie says he believes it : that lie
has sp. n Dr. Nelson w ithin a week, and. knows that
a rising was to take place. He further says that he
lias had handbills printed in Ins office announcing the
laet, for llnee days past. After all. we have no
doubt but the statements in the letter are greatly ex
aggerated, and in some respects wholly unfounded.
I’ i r instance, it is impossible that an attack should
have have been made upon Malden, and the first news

I wish I could give you some idea ol the. politics of
tins county.—There is some dissatisfaction in the
Democratic party with the iiomiii lion id Hronson
im ( ongress. lie voted l»»r Allen for priutci to
I (ingress, and at the extra Session acted with the
( onseivalives—The old .Democrats could not en
dure that a converted federalist should thus abuse
their confident e, and they nominated a third ticket,
which will procably draw off enough of the Demo
cratic votes to secure the election of Chittenden, the
Whig candidate. f
(iieat excitement prevails in regard to the manage
ment of the election, and the influence which “the
patriot tpifttfion” will have up«n the issue. I sup
pose you hardly know what I mean bv the term pat
riot—He it known then, that this frontier will soon be
the theatre towards which the attention of this whole
nation not only, but of the whole world, will be an*
mnsly directed—For lilty ton hundred miles from

Wr rejoice to announce the complete triumph of
the Whigs in the city ol New York, and we hope we
shall be hereafter able to add, in the whole State.—
Among those members of Cot gress who arc sen
tenced to retirement is Cuius Cassius Canibrclenff,
long the chairman of the committee of W ays ami
Means, and the supple tool of the President in all his
attacks upon the integrity ol the Constitution, the
independence of the Legislative body, am! the liber
ties of the people. And scarcely less to be rejoiced
at is tiro defeat of Ely Moore, the disciple of b army
Wright and the representative of the Agrarian <V In*
ridel interests in the city of New York. We do most
heartily njoicc at thus much gained to the cause ol
Public Vutuc, to say nothing ol tlie political issues
involved in the contest. A ml as the city of New York
has condemne d her *'Commercial /!<j rrstntatit t,"
so we hope the State ol New York will pass a like
sentence upon hei “ Favorite Son." \\ e subjoin the
returns, as lar as they are received :

The following is a statement of the majorities in

Here follow the various returns—in all, 41 coun

Sixteen counties yet remain to lie heard from,
which, in 1836 gave Enel a majority of 123, and in
1834 gave Seward a maim iiy of 5,282.
The probability is, that the sixteen counties which
remain yet to he heard from, will give Seward at least
as much majority as they did in 1834. If they do so,
and the returns which we have leceived from the
other forty-one counties are correct, the majority
lor Seward in the State is 12,530. If his majority m .
the sixteen couuMes is t lie same as Uriel's in 1836,
lie will be elected hy 7371 majority, as w ill he seen

MESSRS. WITCIIKK AND COLES.
We listen' d to an animated discussion between
between these gentlemen, on Monday last, at Camp
bell cotill house. Our opinion is, that Capt. Coles,
was litei ally 44 used up." It is possible, however,
others of* a different political creed, thought oilier
wise, though we heaid 10 one say so.
'I he burthen it (-apt. Cedes’* song was 44 the
Hank, the Tariff, and Inteiual Improvements"—be
between which he contended that there was an in
sepaiable ami dangerous alliance—and the *• Hank
power," or, as he has elsewhere expressed it 4‘ assso
ci.ited wealth," which lie feared would overshadow,
corrupt and revolutionise the government, if not
counteracted and weakened by that magic measure,
the Sub-Treasury, which, he alleged, possesses
not one of the properties of a II ink, and, so far fiom
enlaiging, absolutely diminishes Executive patron
age and pow er.
For out own part, we should have been pleased to
hear Capt. Colvh establish the fact.either l»y proof or
argument, that there is any necessary or even inci
dental connection tween those tlnec bugbears, the.
Hank, the Tanff and Internal Improvements, w hich,
lor effect, he and his party so pertinaciously and
pompously parade before the public eye. To us
thev seem to be perfec tly independent systems, not
ai all lelymg upon end) other for support, and tiili
rr one of which might exist, and all of which have
existed, separate anil distinct from the others. The
Hank charter expired some y ears ago by its ow n lim
itation, and the Tariff question was settled by the
Compromise Aci ofl^H'J—and as lit* himself told us,
in the language of Mr. Clay, 44 Internal Improve
ment lies crushed beneath the power of the veto."
Mr. Clay, who is in favor of a Hank, declares his
willingness to le.l ihe Tariff test, and his belief that
it is no longer necessary for the general government
to touch the question of Inteiual Improvement;
thereby showing that he. at least, does not tegard
these tinee systems as brunches of the same lice.
Hut, il they are so, then the party with which Capt
Coles is identified, are unquestionably in favor of a
Hank, how ever studiously they may disguise their
purpose ; for, as was clearly shown by Capt. Witch
er, t/uy are the only tariff paity in the country,
while, notwithstanding all their clamor against In
tern'd Improvements, and their boastings of the cele
brated .M ay ivillc* veto, they have absolutely expen
ded more money for that purpose than did the admin
istration ol Mr. Adams, of which .Mr. Clay was
a member, and which drew no nice and in
comprehensible distinctions between national and
local works, and between improvements above and
below ports of entry. Capt. Witcher contended
th.it tl at paity, which is willing to disturb the Ta
riff Compromise, with a lull knowledge that there
is a 44 fixed majority" in Congress against the South
on that question, and especially when we see that
same party running up ilie expenditures of the
government from Id to Hr* millions of dollars per
annum, thus rendering high taxes necessary to silt -
port this profligate expenditure, is iurontroverb«*
lily the only Tariff party now in the country—
since from their extravagant policy alone is any
augmentation of the rate ol duties to he apprehen
ded. And there is great force in the remark, espe
cially when it it is recollected, that, notwithstanding
Capt. Coles makes the Tariff so prominent a theme
of h.s dcclamaloty harangues, tlie acknowledged
head id his own party, Martin Van Huren, sustained
every Tariff law passed by Congress when he was a
member, even down to the 44 Hill of Abominations"
iii 182^. And it may well be asked, why do they
wish to distui b the TarilF Compromise, if it lie nod
to augment the duties? I)o they expect farther to
diminish those dune*, with a “fixed majority” a
g dust us on that question? The idea is preposterous.
Bur, i! they say, that, although a few prominent
members ol their party may be in lavor of disregard
ing that Compromise, and throwing the country a
gam upon the “sea of troubles” from which that Act
so happily rescued it, a large majority of the party
are opposed to that suicidal policy, we reply that
then they stand on the same broad platform with the
Whigs, and take the same ground, in reference to
this question that is taken by Mr. Clay himself—
and in that aspect ol the question, are not less Ta
riff men than those whom they assail upon that
ground. With what face, then, can they attack Mr.
Clay ?
Hut “ the Bank power”—the great and giowinc
influence of corporations—tins was the staple of
Capt. Coles’s discourse. And we were absolutely
astonished to hear him broadly assert that Mr.
Rives s system ol State Banks, as depositoiies and
fiscal agents ol the government, would prove the
most dangerous power ever erected tu this country,
it it were adopted ! And yet what is Mr. Rives’*
plan but the very plan adopted by lien. Jackson in
1KW, and then sustained by Capt. Coles himself,
as a most unobji ttionahle system—except that Mr.
Rives proposes to regulate a id control it by lav:
