MR. SERGEANT’S ANSWER.
JiAltimorEi Dec. 11, 1831.
(ikrtlsmek—I have received your note of this dale
informing me. that the National Republican Convention
now Mtling in this city, have unanimously nominated mo
' St iteT" l,,,tC f<>r,,'c °®cc of Vice President oftiie United
1 he nomination by a body so enlightened and patriolie, for
one ol the highest trust* of the Republic, i« lelt to l,c a
\ orv great honor, and is appreciated accordingly. It is tlie
more gratifying, as.it associate* mein their estimation and
support with that distinguished citizen, whose public life
and character, market) by undeviating devotion to the best
interests of our country, and a spirit as generous as it is
elevated, are a sure pledge that an administration tinder
his guidance would he comprehensive and national, aiming
unceasingly to preserve the Union, to to maintain the su
premacy of the Constitution and Laws, to keep unbroken
the public faith and honor, and to regard with becoming
indulgence and respect the honest difference* of opinion
among our fcllow-citizcns, which our Republican institu
tions permit and invite. To co-operate with him, to the
extentof whatever means l possess, in thus promoting the
w ellare ami happiness of the nation, and rescuing the free
dom of opinion and conduct from unconstitutional oppression
would he no less my pleasure than my duty.
Re pleased, gentlemen, to make knotvn'tu the Conven
tion my acceptance of their nomination, and w ith it, to ex
press to them the unaffected sensibility w ith which l have
received this distinguished proof of their confidence.
I beg you to accept my thanks lor the kind and flatter
ing terms of your communication and to he assured of the
high respect of
Gentlemen, v»v»f ivio-f obedient servant,

I he acceptance of the nomination by Mr. Sergeant was
haik-d with enthusiasm, ami drew forth three distinct
murids of applause.
Mr. Livingston said, that ho was authorised by the
committee, appointed to draft an address, to state that the
committee was not yet prepared to report. He therefore
proposed a recess of the Convention until 1 o’clock, at
which time he had reason to believe, the committee
would he ready to lay the address before the Convention.
Mr. 11. listed, ot New Jersey rose, and after some re
marks expressiv r of his sense of the kindness the Conven
tion had rvccivrd in this city, which he thought merited a
a stronger manifestation on their part, than that conveyed
in the general resolution adopted yesterday, offered "the
following resolution :
Rcsolvctl, That the. thanks of the National Republican
Convention he tendered to Messrs. Luke Ticrnan, llezc
kiah Niles, Nathaniel F. Williams, Charles F. Mayer,
W m. II. f reeinnn, Joshua Mcdtart, and James Harwood,
for the attention and courtesies extended lo them duriii"
their visit to this city.
The Convention then postponed business until I o’clock.
At 1 o’clock the Convention re-n<*embled, hut finding
that some details would delay the address until a late hour,
resolved to adjourn until 12 o’clock this day, when the ad
dress will he road.
A letter was received from Mr. Punncll of Va., regrot
| ting his inability to attend, owing to the w eather, and en
clo-ing a sum of money to meet his portion of any contin
gent expenses.
In the course of the day l'ranei* Johnson and .1. T. More
head, from Kentucky, took their seats, and being called,
gave their votes for Henry Clay, for the Presidency, and
John Sergeant, for the office ol Vice President. The Con
vention adjourned.
[From the Washington Globe.]
’i'jie Editor of the National (Hunk) (iamin says—
“From Hultimore, date yesterday, I o'clock, l\ M., we
hvm, that among the iitnnbvr* of tin- National Kcpuhli
r,ln ( onvention, there assembled, unanimity seemed to
prevail touching the nomination of Mr. Clay for the oilier
of I’rr iil"n‘; but it tvasdecnicd ijniie uncertain who would
be ^elected for that of Vice President.”
Certainly tln-ro was never such n miserable numi
mery played ofT before the eye* of mi intelligent
people, ns is presented in the getting up, and going
olf, of this National Kcpiihlienn ('onvention. “Una
nimit>/,” we are told, prevails, “to nr/ring thr nominn
tinn of Mr. ('bn/ for thr qfict tf President." in a
Convention convoked for this special purpose, and
comiioned of persons, who, we have no doubt, were,
for llie. most part, pressed by Mr. Clay himself, to
undertake this service, this Mtmnniinity” in not ex
traordinary. I he foriiih ot nn election, by public
meetings, were pretended, hut iti such way as to
render the whole proeeeding ridiculous. In some
places ten, in oile rs six voters, would make the Clay
delegate; nud, tm one occasion, a prodigious string
of resolutions, emanating from a “numerous nud
respectahh;” meeting, was forthcoming in the new#*
pii|M:rH, (lie name of the tavern at vvltieli they
I "ere passed, when the inn-keeper, who was at
home all day, was entirely ignorant that Htteli nil as
; Kemhlrtge of customers had nwcmhled tintler his
! roof. We were recently informed, by n gentleman
of honor, of ,i similar Clay meeting which took place
ill \ irginia. It Was composed of six |iersons. Af
j ter soberly taking their wills, a elmirmnn nud secre
t.iry were solemnly np|iointcd; then a Committee of
three were chosen bv the chair, to prepare a prenin
hle and resolutions for the occasion. The Commit
tee retired, and left u solitary National Kcpublicnn
remaining, who, with the “unnnimity” which clinr
ncti ri/.es the Haltimore Convention, voted the doings
ol the Committee, mid approved of tin* nomination
of delegates to Haltimore.
It will lie remembered that Mr. Clay himself paid a
visit to Indiana, where lie declared himself a candi
date for the Presidency, in virtue of a nomination hv
a caucus ol his parti'/.ifis in Kentucky. He could
no* re**r*f the “distinguish'd honor” thus conferred
hy K'MittP'k^ ! and with .dl i.h);r< tier m fit'' cal! of
Ulio State, he uMutiuMi the aumulo .of a candidate.
| Having taken this wry important mid delicate r«
, upw hiUMolt; he, in a forinul letter, told
| Ins Indiana IViends, whom lie visited, that being u
.candidate lbr the Chief Magistracy, lie could wot
venture to cut tiny more public dinners, a thin*' lie
j wad abstained from ever since his Kentucky nonii
nuUon. He would not have it inferred, that* ho wiw
electioneering for ho high an office, in u way m» vul
I gar. From the following scrap from an Imliatui tm
! ITi**’ K Im M‘,,,,»*hat lie did not altogether lone hit)
i mlior. The Kditor w mistaken in Mip|HMing it was
, a “complete failure,” for doubtless some of the /rgai
| delegates, created hy Mr. Clay’s management are
now in attendunee ut Baltimore, and sent forward
: Hie Committee which visited Mr. Clay yesterday, to
| ascertain whether ho would accept tfio nomination
i of the National Republican Convention. Tlios"
I 1 jclcgntes that represent tho whole State of Imliawn,
i although rejected hy the people as representatives in
II ongruss, were nevertheless advanced to their more
important function at Baltimore, by a body of luw
vers, as a\ ill be seen from the following article:
i t *1,0 *yc Clay Convention in Indiana was a complete
\ aitme. I.-'ss than one half of the counties of the Slate
| were represented there. Those wlio attended (37 in
! nU^bro "'‘re prinripally the lawyer* in attendance up
on the t o'irt tlion sitting at lulianipoliO
; I lie Convention thus got up, the Kditor of the
intelligencer compliments it hy saying that “although
i/ctc m aumher, however. they will represent millions
of sturdy freemen and true pa! riots. —According to
! •, ratio hirnishcl hy ffie Indiana meeting, which
, is the fullest wo have hoard of, the computation of
he Intelligencer is evidence of his inclination for
flic lotten Borough system, where millions offrec
i nion are represented, hut gainst their consent, hy
i «*"'> half a dozen votes. *
Mr. Clay himself, ns will ho seen from his Icfte/,
i is conscious of the real constitution of his Conven
tion. Ilo says, “delegates have been instruct'* hi,
thetr constituents to yield support to it f his Name] as a
j caivh'late for the Presidency,” and uthis restriction”
ho declares “mr^r^Vn/.o Wo aro not surprize,!
| at Mr. ( lay s repugnance to a delegation “instructeel
I hy their constituents” 11« represents in the Senate
f°n,.e “ttlfd't/.cn members of the Kcntuckv Legisla
ture, who violated their instructions and* Itciraved
their constituents. It gives him pain that his Con
tention should Imvo a badge of restriction put upon
them, marking the body as a mere meeting of his
parti/.ans. Knowing hi* men, the mark was unne
cessary, and he would have been glad to save ap
pearances.—Ho endeavors to affect this by first re
ferring to the fact, and then exonerating his agents
from the influence, lie says :
•‘lt would have had more* happy com dilution if it had
embodied the will ot all who are desiroasof rescuing the
..k*Ck .',VC f,ovcmn,°nt of 'lie Union from tl.c misrule
w inch threatens to subvert established institutions and sys
tems of policy, long and deservedly cherished and to bring
disgrace and ruin upon tho country.”
After having thus presented himself ns willing to
>ec mne the champion to rescue the country from
the ‘Mtsnt i.k,” “insnnack,” and “ruin,” threatened
by the present Chief Magistrate, lie, with the most
perfect disinterestedness tells his friends that if their
nomination should fall «tt/>on any individual other
than myself, it shall hvre not only my hcarli/ acquies
cence and concurrence, hut my cordial and zealous co
| operation.”
, Notwithstanding his hitlers patent, giving his Con
1 Y'n'"*n full power to nominate “any individual other
than myself, [himself,]” his pertinacious adherents
would still nominate him. And lie now stands n
twice nominated, and a thrice accepting candidate,
lie proclaimed himself in Indiana—he accepts, by
anticipation, in hi» letter to Mr. Barbour, and he has
iigam accepted the tender of the deputation who tra
velled from Baltimore in this hurt! weather to know
ins icry douhtlul wishes upon the subject!
I here is now only one difficulty in his way to the
Presulenev. ( an lie get the votes of theso “millions
of sturdy freemen and true patriots,” who, we are told
by the Intelligencer, are represented in this nugtist
National Republican Convention. We fear not. If
Maryland should have liberty to vote by general tiek
et, we predict that Mr. Clay will not get one vote in
the Union; and then alas! tho Government will be
continued in its present wretched stnto of “mis
rule,” “DISGRACE and RUIN.”

ly spacious for the accommodation of his friends by the re

now takes great pleasure in informing them, that for the
succeeding year, lie has obtained of Mr. Christopher Ford
ol Amelia, his excellent little farm, containing ample house
room of every description, and all other conveniences ne
cessary for the comfort and accommodation of both a Hoard
ing and Day School lor children of cither sex, not exceed
ing fifteen years of age, (as none will lie admitted in this
school over that age, unless personally known to the pro
prietor, and acknowledged to possess sueh habits of moral
ity and industry, as would justly entitle them to admittance
in any institution, however rigid its discipline, of either a
, religious or moral nature.)— As the instruction of youth for
the last twelve yf*ars has been almost the exclusive em
ployment of the subscriber, looking forward to no other pro
fession for a support, but making this his settled and perma
nent business lor life, it is natural to suppose that lie has
spared neither labor nor exp-use to qualify himself for the
discharge of the difficult and responsible task of pleasing
both parent and child; a task which, notwithstanding its
difficulty, without vanity, he can say, from the patronage
invariably received, has been performed, ho hopes, to the
entire satisfaction of all heretofore interested in his school.
I his institution will he opened on the Kith ol Jauuarv, and
terminate on the I6th of December follow ing, making the
school-term often months, allowing the month of June as

Amelia, Oct. 11. 11—wt2T>th D
50,1)00 ACRKS OF LAND!
rilHK.mdfMiRi.cl proposes to sell 50,000 acre* of fine
JL land in what is called the Western Jlistrict of Tennes
see, muont; which is some of his heM land, situate on the
waters of I.ooshatehee, IiiRllatcl.ee, Forked l)eer, Ohion
and Missis>ip|ii rivers,—a large portion of which is the best
cotton land in the State, ami well adapted to the grow th of
corn, tobacco, and every other production common to the
same latitude. It is situated between latitude 55 and 36.
•i0 ! ! No now country possesses more advantages. Ten
years ago the wi.ole population scarcely exceeded live hun
dred souls, it now contains largely upwards of one hundred
thousand—an increase beyond example, considering the
whole District is not more than ninety miles square.—
\mong the great advantages this fertile District has
over all others, are the facilities afforded to trade and navi
gation:—bounded on the west by the mother of rivers, the
great Mississippi, and on the east by the Ten lies :ec river,
noth navigable at all seasons of the year, by the largest class
ol steam-boats;—the main tributary streams are navigable
with keel and llat boats—and the small class of steam-lmats
ply regularly up Big Ilatehec, as far as Bolivar, w hich is
situated near the centre of the District. A large portion of
the above lands lie on this stream and south of it, imnuidi
| ately in lliat section where there are already many large
| cotton firms. At this lime, this section of countrv oilers to
[ capitalists great inducements;—land is unusually low—the
jiopulutinn of the most respectable character, industrious,
intelligent, and enterprising. Schools and Academics are
now in operation equal to the best in the State, and emi
grants are doily coming from Virginia, North and South
Carolina. Georgia ami Alabama; ami many farms have been
opened to the extent of 3 and 100 aeros, producing more
i rollon lo the acre than any other land in the same latitude.
Twelve years’ experience has tested the salubrity of the
I climate—no new country was ever bles.iod with a greater
! share of general good health. Another great advanlage
pceuliarto this section of country is, that navigable streams
arc so dispersed, that there is no point at which a settlement
can he made, that will exceed a greater distance from na
\ igation Ilian 20 miles, and that the Mississippi river is easy
of access by laud carriage at many convenient points with
in this range of country,—whereas at no point below
Memphis, until you reach the Walnut hills, a distance of
100 miles, cxn you approach this great river at high water,
| on cither side from the hack country by land carriage,—
owing to the extensive swamp: and lakes on hod. sides
below the southern line of Tennessee. Another advan
tage may here he suggested to codon planters—the
great distnnre west of the Alleghany Mountains—as a
degree west from said mountains is considered by ju
dicious and experienced cotton planters, equivalent to a
degree south for the production of cotton. .Such is
my exalted opinion of this fine country, that no rea
sonable price would induce me at this time to part from
I so much of my lands, did not the situation of my affairs
I make, it absolutely necessary lo raise funds to discharge
j the heavy debts which have been so long and harra uingly
pressing on me.—For the reason last mentioned, the under
signed wishes to make one large tale, which will enable
: him to close up his business at onee. IF 50,001) acres can
he disposed of at one sale, I will give a great bargain on
; the most liberal credits, say from one to ten years, bv such
; instalments as may be agreed on,—1 shall be absent "for fhc
j next sixty days, during which time, tho<e who wish to
