THE ELECTIONS.
Pen nsti.vania.—Wolf is certainly re-elected.-—
The ‘‘Harrisburg Reporter,” of the lOtli, states bis
majority at Tbo Jackson-inen have received
the news of this Victory with exultation. It basin- j
spired them with new spirits—and they arc confident
of success at the electoral election of tin* !2d. The :
following is the printed Circular of the Executive
Republican Committee of Philadelphia:
[Circular.]
Philadelphia, Oct. 15, 1832.
“Sin—Authentic information received ia the City of
Philadelphia, places beyond doubt the re-election ol
tiEORUE 'VOLK as Governor of Pennsylvania, hy a hand
some majority. This result, so cheering and triumphant !
for tlie good cause of Democracy and Jackson, ensures the
success of tlie Doctoral Ticket, with a vote immensely in
creased. In tlie late contest, our political adversaries cm- 1
ployed all the arts they could devise, and nil the influences
that could be impressed to their assistance: they were aid
ed also, to a very great extent, by some local prejudices
and animosities, having no connexion with the National
Administration. The whole force of the enemy, arrayed
Upon its most favorable ground, has therefore been met
and discomlitted; and this result is the more important, be
cause it is generally conceded, that even the success ol
Kitner, unless hy a majority of many thousands, could have
shown no change in Pennsylvania's confidence in Un
patriotic wisdom of Andrew Jackson.
“ We hasten to communicate this important intelligence,
which must he cheering to every friend of our country and
of its republican existence. It is a subject of American
rejoicing, not confined to Slate bouiuhiiics, ami as such we
are assured that you will join us in hearty congratulations.
“P. S. Official returns 1350 majority lor Wolf.”
The other party are attempting to rally—hut if
the reader recollects how the shattered ranks are
depicted by Milton in the Halls of Pandemonium,
be may judge of the desperation of the National
Republicans. About 100 of them assembled at tlie
adjourned Convention in Harrisburg last .Monday—
and they determined to drop their own ticket, and
to adopt the Anti-Masonic Ticket—that is to say, to
abandon Clay, and to take tip Wirt! And yet they
tell us in their Address that, “In making this sacri
fice for the safety of the Constitution, let us not he:
understood as abandoning our candidates, Henry
Clay and John Sergeant. Wo do not abandon
them! We have every confidence and every rea
sonable ground to expeet they will be elected!! Hut
we cannot sacrifice the flattering prospect of de
feating (Jen. Jackson, even in bis supposed strong
hold of Pennsylvania, by presenting to our oppo
nents in this State, n divided front.”
This determination to abandon their own ticket,
was not so easily effected in die Convention. The
Haliimoro Republican lias “a letter from llarris
burg, dated on tlie lGtli instant, which states that
fliere were much jarring and confusion among tlie
Clay men who met at that place in convention on
the first ol the week, to decide upon the course to be
pursued by the party in reference to the Presidential
Election. The whole of the first day was spent
without coming to uny decision, imd finally, on tlie
second day, after much wrangling, they determined
to support the Wirt ticket; but some of the members
protested against tbo arrangement, and declared
their determination to support the Jackson ticket,
and not suffer themselves to bo. trafficked away in
such a manner.”—The Harrisburg Reporter says,
that the measure was carried “with but few dis
senting voices.—Many ol die membersofthe conven
tion, evidently entered into this measure with great
reluctance. One gentleinun on the floor of the con
vention, stated, that ho detested any thing like a
connexion with so polluted a thing as anti-masonry.' I
Another gentleman stated in his place, that he view- \
ed the proceedings as the requiem of national re
publicanism in Pennsylvania.”
i nc j Joyicstowu Democrat aliirms, that u A
number ol the most rational Clay men arc opposed
totbis measure, and in Pittsburg, Northampton, and
several other places, will not support it. It is our
opinion that it will strike Air. Clay’s flag uncondi
tionally, and adopt Air. Wirt’s.— If so, there can be
no doubt which way the electoral vote of the State
will go.”
The following paragraphs from the “ American
Sentinel” shew how this new Coalition is received
in Philadelphia and in Pittsburg:
‘‘I rouble in the \\ idWAM.—Wc understand, that
the anti masonic committee cf superintendence far the
city and county ol Philadelphia, hud a meetiag on the 18th
inst. and disclaimed all connexion with the l lay party.—
They say that their clcctoi.il ticket which has been adopt
ed by the May men, is pledged to vole lor Win. " irt.
Many of the nnti-musons attribute the defeat ol Mr. It it -
ner to the imprudent address of Messrs. Randall, Har
per Co. It is not worth while lor these gentlemen to
quarrel about their tickets—Genera I JACKSON will heat
"'em singly or combined, by an immense majority.
“More trouble.—The Statesman, the leading day
paper in Pittsburg, is out against Wirt, and says, that the
electoral ticket pledged to support the latter "cannot bu
possibility, be elected.”—The editor of the Statesman, al
though lie had uol heard of the doings of the National
Republican ( onvention at Harrisburg on Monday last, up
pears to have been perfectly aware of their intention to
abandon Mr. < lay. He says:
“A convention assembled at Harrisburg on the 15th inst.
1 hen and there it has doubtless been determined how the
leaders ol the National Keptihlican parly will bestow their
votes and influence. On the 2d ol next month, the voters
of the pat ty will act for themselves."
€iI oulson t< //aih/ Jidvertistr ami ilio Pennsylvania
Inquirer have hauled down tin Hag oi llemy Clay and
John Sergeant, and substituted for it tlie nnti-Jackson
anti-Masonic Electoral Ticket. The United States Ga
zette, whose editor, we understand, is a High Mason,
will probably do so this morning, hy authority. It is a hit
ler pill, but it must lie swallowed.
“The anti-masonic candidates for President ami Viet
President, will be swept hy the hoard in (Ins State. Not
less than twenty-live thousand will lie the majority over
H irt and Eltrnaker.—The democratic party is so fully
brought into action that political anti-masonry will he an
nihilated forever in this great coniinonwealih,”
I lie Coalition will fail in Pcmisylvnnin, ns it Ims
done in Ohio, mid ns it will do in New York. The
elements of opposition cannot .stick together. Mason
nnd Anti-Mason, do not cordially concur. Ilotli par
ties have views ol their own, ami lioth suspect each
other of treachery. The thing cannot, will not do,
depend upon it!

Wc entertain no doubt of the success of the
Jackson Ticket on tlic ‘Jd.— Indeed, the junction of
the two parties is not yet complete. The “High
land (O.) Democrat” of the l.'ltli (an Anti-Jackson
paper) publishes the three Tickets; and advertizes its
intention to print in time for the November elec
tion a “large quantity of Presidential Klectiou Tic
kets, for Clay, II irt and Jarkson, with their respec
tive \ ice Presidents and Hectors.” This does not
much look like doubling teams against Jackson!—
And it wo are not much mistaken, we saw a letter
the other day from Ohio in the “U. S. Telegraph,”
annoiiueiiig the intention of the two parties, in case
ot Lyman’s success, to concentrate their forces up
on one ticket. But as Lyman is defeated, the cuse
being altered (we presume) will after the ease.

CHOLERA INTELLIGENCE.
I lie Hoard ol Ih'ulih have not reported since our
last.
Our fellow-citizens arc daily returning to their
homes. A death may now ami then occur, from
some old, inveterate ease, which baffles the skill of
tli<! I hysician: Such as that of the lamented James
II. Brown, a respected merchant of this city, lie
died on Saturday, after an illness of several days.—
Hut we hear ol no new ense; nor of any attack of
the Cholera description, which is calculated to ex
cite the least alarm. Still, wo, must not suddenly
relnx from the precautionary measures, which the
most ordinary prudence recommends to our adop
tion. He cautious, and we are safe!
The “Scottsville Farmer” of the I8th states that
its village was never more healthy—that it “hears
ol no more cases on the river—the hoatnien seem
willing to trust themselves down, and that our moun
tain friends need not fear coining to Scottsville.”
The Cholera has not travelled further South than
hdenton in i\. C. 'I here had been 20 cases, not
more than half of which had terminated fatally.—
Only one remained on the 10th.
II f at of uh it has re-appeared at Hagerstown with con
siderable violence. The Press of that town says, that for
ihe week, ending on Thursday morning, there were 18
deaths,—7 white, II colored. There is, however, le«s
panic than formerly, and the sick are well taken care of.
I Among the victims, is Thomas Kennedy, Esq. editor of
“The Mail,” and Delegate elect to the Legislature ol Ma
ryland. He died in a lew hours after the attack.
li lias broken out w ith great violence in Chainberburg,
Pennsylvania, where lliere were seven deaths from Satur
day morning to Sunday evening the ll(li;auda number of
persons attacked on Sunday. The alarm was said to he with
out precedent. The Supremo ourt broke up immediate
ly
"Great .Mortality.—The (liolcra has made its appear
iiiire at Rockport, near Cleaveland, Ohio, with fearful fa
tality in (lie family of a Mr Cunningham. On the morn
ing ofllie 20lh ult. all tlm members ol it breakfasted logo,
•her in usual health. Before sunrise of the following day,
tour ol (hem had bren summoned to eternity. A li fin soon
followed, and two others were lying in a hopeless state
a( the latest dates. The head of the family who had
relurned from New York, Was first attacked, but is bei|0y.
j ed to lie on the recovery.”
It has also appeared on the line of the Ohio canal, as
far south as Dre-den.
The Cincinnati Board of Health reports for the I lih
Oet. four deaths of cholera, and five cases remaining: For
the. )'2th October, eighteen deaths, and eleven cases re
, maining.
A peison residing about three miles Iron: Mount Ver
non, who had recently visited Cleaveland, wa* attacked
with spasms, and died two days after. On the next day,
Dr. Maxficld of Miunt Vernon, one of the physician*
who had attended on the doceased, was suddenly seized
with the most airming symptoms of cholera, and survived
! only 12 hours. He wa* a member of the Board of Health,
| •'•td was highly esteemed in hi* professional capacity, as
j wi ll as a valuable citizen.
Tho Louisville [Ky.J Advertiser ol the 13th, status,
that "some ton or twelve deaths have occurred Irom cho
lera, in the past week, if tho attending physicians are to
be believed.”
CIIOLEli V STATISTICS.
The Compiler gives im Estimate of the deaths that
have been occasioned in this City by the late Cliole
' rn. It can only ho regarded as an approximation to
the Truth. For more than tho six weeks during
which it raged in this City, tho Interments at the
I’oor House Cemetery were 1)7 whites, and 35d co
lored—-153 in all.
“Of these whites, 19—and oflhe colored,70 were pau
pers—making the whole number of paupers 89.”
Of these paupers, 10 whites and 10 colored died at the
Poor House itsell—making in all 20.
Mr- " oo«ltin calculates that lor three years from 1829
to 18.11, the average interments for a corresponding period
was only one per day.
From the whole number ol interments 453, deduct then
15, and we have about 408 persons, who fell victims to the I
cholera, and were interred in the Poor House yards.
In addition to the interments at Ihe Poor House, we '
must take into account 21 interments made at the Old
Church Burying Yard, on Richmond Hill, from tho 8th
September to the I7th October—of which the Church
Wardens, Messrs. Francis Wicker and G. M. < arriiigton j
certify 15 to have been occasioned by die cholera.
Interments from ' holera, at the Poor House, 108 !
At the Old Church, 15 ,
At the Burying Grounds at ltorkctts, <> ,
At the Old Academy, (say) 8 j
Sent into the Country, or buried elsewhere in tho
City, (say) . 12
419
According to this rough calculation, therefore, about 450 !
victims have perished by Cholera in this i ity—about 50
more than arc estimated to have died at Norfolk.”
Among the 97 whites (interred ut tho Poor House,)
were also six of tho Public Guard.—There were
20 cases among them, of which these 0 terminated
fatally.
The Physician to the Penitentiary idso states; that i
•here were 137 cases among the convicts—of which, j
20 died, 1*0 hove been discharged cured; and 12 were
remaining on Sunday.—The Penitentiary is on the
skirts of the City—and its dead are not interred with
in the walls of the Poor House Cemetery.
“Poleecy,” exclaims Sir Giles Overreach. “Think of
that, Master Brooks.”—The Winchester Republican
acknowledges that it did not tire its gun, because its
forces were not yet sufficiently organized, and be-I
cause the Jackson Party was not sufficiently divided
Now, however, it says “the time has come”—and it |
fires its gun: It calls the “friends of Clay and the
Constitutition to the polls!” It tells the most “stupid”
man how Juekson is to bo beaten in Virginia—It re
minds him, “tlmt although Juckson’s name is on
both these tickets, the strength of both cannot be
united on him. The split is as fatal to him, as if the '
first ticket wore for Benedict Arnold and Martin ;
Van Huron.” (Benedict Arnold!)—And finally it
exclaims:
“* ’•!> nn«! be *b-biz, Nafiona* K■•publican* ofilm Valiev, eac/i
anil all of you. II any ol you have u laxjr neighbor who i* on our
Mile, «tir him up; spur him to the poll*! Him i* too In/.y to walk,
luml him your hoiae and go on foot yourself. Koummhur, that al
though you may hu in the minority in any ono particular iiluoe, tho
election in by general ticket, and everv vote trill tell. Up and bo
doing—mill 11out a minority, wo may hucoino a plurality party.”
And thus, (says the Republican)' “ the uun is fi
UE,‘”—Why, trtr, this is not even a pocket pistol!—
; and it is a mere flash in its pun!—Take the advice
ofan cncmyK/ifs cst, yon know, ab hosts tloccri!) The
next time you arc waiting like the politic ccntinel I
t jr the moment of firing, take care and not tiro at
; all, rather than “waste your powder.” For, with all
! your prudence, and all your policy,and all your vi
| gilant anxiety, to fire your gun ut’tlte precise mo
; ment, you are already wasting your powder in the
j present affair. Mr. Clay’s is a forlorn hope—and
j not even your “poleecy,” can save him. Neither
your chivalry nor your prudence will avuil him—
and we arc sorry, you are so little able to read the
| signs of the times. We would most cheerfully lend
; you our “spectacles” to read them—if we had ever
used a pair; but you have neighbors enough to :
. assist your optics, if you would only have poleecy
enough to consult them. Vale—vale! we say to you
in the kindest spirit.
I One word to the Wheeling Times—we have seen

powder” upon it.

various associations, by which the energies of their cili
J zoIIj <*ie called forth and combined for the laudable pur- j
posool collecting an<| preserving every thing relating to
their history, and developing and applying in every way
practicable, their various natural resources; Virginia, al
though very rich in materials, has heretofore been too in
attentive to these most important subjects. With the ex
ception ol a few agricultural and other local associations,
•hero has been no society established in the State, which
lias had a tendency io concentrate the intellectual and
moral energies ol our enlightened citizens, and inspire
them with that ardor and vigor in the cause of impiove*
ment, which are most effectually produced by a lice in
terchange ol opinions, when the sparks of truth aie fre
quently elicited by collision of genius.
In order to supply in part this deficiency, a number of
gentlemen from dillerent part* of, the Sinte, met at the
< apitol in Itichmond, in January Iasi, and laid the foun
dation ol i society which is called, “the Virginia Histori
cal and IMiiio ophic.il Society.” The leading object* of
this society, are, to procure and preserve whatever relates
to the natural, civil, and literary history of this State, and
to patronise, as far as practicable, all those scintcts and
arts which have a direct tendency to promote the best in- 1
tercsts of our citizens. These objects address themselves
with peculiar force, to all who wish Virginia to hold
that elevated standing among lie’r sister States, to which
her natural resources, moral worth, and pa»t achievement*
in securing and maintaining our civil aud religious fiee
dom, entitle her.
I i will ho observed, that the first object of the society, to !
which immediate and particular attention is solicited, is to
collect tho materials for a complete and authentic history of
the State. 1 here arc several histories of tl(o State extant,
hut it must he admitted by all competent judges, that none
ol them contain a complete compilation ol those farts, and a
correct delineation ol those characters for which Virginia
is justly celebrated, and which ought to form by far the
richest portions ol her history. It is in vain, that we
look to the published records for a full and correct view ot
the elevated sentiment, the noble sacrifices, the hold dar
ing. and the unyielding purpose, for which very many of
our patriots and philanthropists were distinguished during
our Revolutionary struggle for liberty. Hence, under ex
isting circumstances, our posterity will be deprived of a
correct knowledge of the deeds of their ancestors, and of
course, ol tho moral influence ol their noble example. Vir
ginia will he inattentive to her highest interests, if she neg
lect to supply the deficiency. Hut, in order to accompli-h
this object effectually, il is necessary that all, who have the
means, should lend iheir aid to the operations of the socie
ty. it is hoped that this will he done not only eheeilul
?y. but immediately. Delay in this matter will he highly
injurious. In all probability much valuable matter, rela
ting to past events, is already irrecoverably lost, both by
neglect, and by the removal by death of nearly all those
worthies, who, having borne a distinguished part in the
public ami piivate transactions of their times, could have
communicated much important and interesting informa
tion concerning them, which has not been left on record.
This circumstanco should admonish all who feel the least
interest on this subject, that immediate and vigorous ex
ertions ought to he made to secure that which now re
mains, but which in a very few years, will be beyond
the reach of recovery. But, doubtless, there are now in
the possession of the descendants of thoso patriots, many
highly important manuscripts and other papers relating to
our past history, which, from the operation of natural
causes, are very liable lobe scattered and lost. Many ol
them, insulated as they now are, will, in most instances,
be considered by those who possess them, to he ol little
or no importance; and, therefore, not worth preserving.
When viewed separately, some of them may appear to
be of no value, but compared with others relating to (lie
same events, they may he of immense value in elucidat
ing obscure facts, and confirming statements which tend
to exhibit tbe real causes or effects of great public transac
tions, or to devclopc the operating motives of those indi
viduals, whose public entoi prizes or private exertions and
sacrifices, had an important bearing on the great interests
ol our country. Without the aid of such documents, all
must admit, that the history ol Virginia must necessarily
bo Incorrect and defective. It is confidently believed,
therefore, that those persons possessing original documents
or any species of information relating to the past history
of this' State, although there may bo an unwillingness to
entrust them to private individuals, will cheerfully con
tide them to the care of a public institution,in whose cus
tody they would he preserved for the general benefit of
postciity and society at large. It is also believed, that
those Patriots ot the Revolution, whose lives, by the bless
ing ot a kind Providence, have been prolonged to the
present lime, all othor persons, who by their peculiar si
tuation in file, have obtained a minute knowledge of im
portant public or private transactions connected with the
State, will most willingly commit to writing and forward
to tho Society, a narration of such facts as they may think
ought to be preserved for tho inlormalion of mankind.
By these means, many highly interesting facts will he
obtained, which, in all probability, in a very lew years, will
be beyond the reach of recovery; a very large number of
valuable papers will be rescued from tho obscurity of pri
vate repositories, where they are liable to be destroyed or
lost by the operation of incidental circumstances. It ap
pears that this is the only practical modu by which, at the
prese nt time, much can be effected in collecting together
t.ie scattered fragments, and perishing memorials of our
past history. All such matter, when collected and depo
sited in the State library, will lie a rich treasure to the
State and our legislators, as well as to the antiquary, the
historian, or (lie scholar.
Allow,er object, which the Society has particularly in
view, is to obtain and preserve every species of ’in-I
ormation concerning the mineralogy, geology and ho- j
tony ot tho different pails of the State. It is well !
known, that our mountains and valleys are rich in '
valuable minerals and medicinal waters, and our alluvi
al country contains many highly important chemical and
iiiiiieralogical formations. The best interest of the various
kinds 01 Internal Improvement,as well asol science, would
be greatly promoted l.y an accurate mincrulogie.il and
| geological survey of the whole Stale. In this tvay, om
en,zens generally, would be able to ascertain the proper
ties and locations of tho different species of rocks, ores,
coal, natural soils, chemical manures, mineral waters, &c.
in each section ot the State. A correct knowledge of these
(lungs, and a proper application of them, will constitute no
inconsiderable portion of the physical power of tho State;
and wi I tie o! great importance, not only to the skilful nr
tist and scientific agriculturalist, but to the statesman and
philosopher. Several ol our Sister Slates, lightly esti
mating investigations ol this kind, have not hesitated to se
cure them at public expense. Hut it is hoped, that much
may be done, through the medium of this society, towards
accomplishing this desirable object, without much trouble
or expense, provided our citizens will cheerfully and ener
getically co-operate with the Society, in establishing an ex
lensivo and complete cabinet of the various minerals, and
a museum ol tho natural curiosities belonging to Virgi
nia. I he great benefits that may he derived from such
an establishment at the capital of the State, will he
at once perceived by every enlightened person—Any
mineral specimens, or natural curiosities can he ea-d
y forwarded to the society from any part of the common
wealth, through the medium of the Delegates to the Ge
ner.d Assembly, who, l.y the Constitution of the society,
have a light to attend its meetings and examine its library
and cabinet. Ily these meads, every individual in the
State can have a direct communication with the society
and obtain anv information which is at any time in its pos
session. he keeper ol the cabinet will at all limes, receive,
la .el and arrange all specimens, and any a, lick-, connect
ed with the arts or sciences, that may be presented to the
society. It is expected, that as the cabinet of minerals
Increases, scientific gentlemen, boll, for (heir own informal
ion, and lor the benefit ol others, will examine and ana
lyze the various specimens that may have been collected,
ar.d record the results,ol their investigations: so that every
person will have an opportunity of knowing the constitu
ent principle* of any mineral which he has been pleased
to forward to tho society. ”
The annual meetings 0r fhe soricly will be held on the
first Monday n January, when public addresses will be
delivered, and such essays ami other communications read
xb.re (lie society, as may have been prepared for that pur
pose; and also a lull statement will be made of all the facts
relating lo any ol the subjects that come within the scope
or H,c society. It ,s probable that as soon as a sufficient
quantity ot important matter is collected, tho society will
publish a series ol collections, for the benefit ol the pub

WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE.
As the time approaches for the opening ol this institu
tion, it is important lor its prosperity, th.it the pi.- lir mini!
should he well informed as to the healthiness of Williams
Inirg and the country immediately surrounding. This may
ho necessary, to remove any unfounded reports which ma>
have heen put into circulation, as to (he existence of the
prevailing epidemic (the Cholera) in (his place. Thai
such reports have been circulated, the writer of this has
reason to believe; but the community may bo well as-u
red, that they are without the least foundation. Williams,
burg has been wonderfully and miraculously preserved,
and if we may judge horn the past, (not one case of Cho
lera having as yet occutred) we may he permitted to in- \
dulge the hope, that a merciful and sparing Providence
will still continue to protect ns from this dreadful and justly
dreaded malady. I he Old City, and the surrounding coun
try. are uncommonly healthy, and if there is any disease
existing at this time, there is little of it, and that of the '
mildest kind. I lie writer will take this opportunity of
endeavoring to correct a most erroneous impression which *
he is apprehensive has heen made upon the minds of many
at a distance, ol the imhcalthiness ol Williamsburg gene
rally, ami particularly during what is usually termed die
“sickly season,” (embracing the months of July, August,
and the autumnal month, September.) During this latter
period, the writer has reason to suspect, that many persons
at a distance, who know nothing from their own experi
ence, ol our real situation, are impressed with a firm be
lief, that disease rages with fearful violence. If such an
opinion prevails, let such persons he assured, that it is a
most uiitoimded one. To remove such an impression,he will
state what lie knows to he laets. For several years past, the
country generally, and particularly our towns, have been
afllictcd with scarlet fever, and other epidemics. From all
these, " illiamsburg lias heen entirely exempt. Dining the
pi 'sent season, out of a population of between fifteen and
sixteen hundred persons,not more than six deaths (white
and black) have occurred. Out of this number, there
was hut one adult parson. So lur as it relates to the Col
lege, the exemption from disease has been remarkable.
I- or several years, there have been at College, from one
hundred tonne hundred and twenty Students and (Mam
mar hoys. Some ot those have resided in College, anti
the rest have lived in different parts of the city. During
all this period, not a death has occurred, ami the writer (as
far as ho has been informed) may safely alfirm, that not
one case of serious disease has taken place among them.
An appeal, then, il is hoped, may safely he made, to the
good sense and judgment of the public, to say, whether
Williamsburg has been the place, which the writer has
too much reason to fear, it lias been represented to he.—
Let Parents and Guardians then be well assured, that
Williamsburg is perfectly healthy; that it has been,
and is, entirely free from the cholera, and that they may
send their sons and wards to collegw with perfect safely
as to their health. As to their morals, he believes they
will be as well guarded, and as to the advantages which |
•bey will derive from attending William and Mary Col
lege, he has no doubt, they will be as great, as can be af
forded by any other Seminary in this State, or of the Uni
ted States. A Friend to Truth and Science.
TO THE EDITORS OF THE E.YQUtRF.R.
Gentlemen:—I perceive that the mild, the refined
mid charitable Editor of the Richmond Whig, has shewn
much disturbance of e.ven his meek sjiirit, and is greatly
scandalized at what he styles the malignity, the unfound
ed assertions, and tho what else ? Aye, 1 have it; the in
i consequential reasoning betrayed in the recent address
ol the C entral Jackson Committee. Inconsequential rca
soiling! ! This, it is presumed, was intended for the same
thing with illogical or inconclusive rea.->oiiiug. Tins I
surmise; for, being unacquainted with the word inconse
quential, and feeling anxious to comprehend all the
weighty offences ascribed lo my Jackson friends, I set
myself to work to search for this word, but have been una
ble to find it, either in aiy spelling-book, or in old Sam
Johnson, or in the more modern Walker. Indeed, the
new commingling of party materials at this time present
ed to the nation, seems to demand a new and appropriate
vocabulary; and this may he a specimen introduced under
; the authority of the Literal;/ Department, announced
in the paper, containing the above term, to have been re
cently engrailed on the establishment ol the \N big'.—
Rut do you not think, Messrs. Editors, that it would i?.ive
! heen much more fair in the meek, and < undid, and caur
i Icons \\ big, il instead ol shreds and Iragments selected
as best beseemed its own taste or object, it had given to
| its subscribers the entire Address; that they might judge
lor themselves of its alleged enormity, or determine 7n
| the same mode how far the five propositions, so iiiucli n
i probated l>y that moral and veracious print, have been sus
I tallied by the facts and reasonings of the committee? IVi
I Imps the beliefof the Editor ol liie W lug in the “gullibili
j ty” (another flower from the literary p u teri e of Hie big)
| ol the people, and his fears of heresy in the coalition
laith are so predominant, that like those bigots who lor
| bade the translation ol the Scriptures,or commanded the
Riblc to be chained to the altar, lie is unwilling to gi\c out
j any portion ol the text,(much Icsstlie entire context) except
when mangled and disjointed,- and accompanied with his
own false glosses. Porcupine the lir-t, (tie champion ol the
■ elder Adams, applied to the citizens ol this country, the ap
pellation of tiic sirinish multitude, and Porcupine the se
j com!, (so far :.t least, as scurrility and falsehood have carn
j V{\ <b>s cognomen) the worthy eleve of the minor Adams,
: and ol his creator, lleui-y Clay, acts upon presumptions of
j ignorance and immorality in the same people lully as
I offensive as the above designation could ever be; and the
| falsehood of which shall shortly he resounded in the imlig
| nant suffrages at the polls from one extreme of the Union
to the other.
l>iit (he Rtiifor of (lie V. hig ileniet (ho rhnrgfl of* inis
rule by (be laic coalition, ainl challenges proof! I won
der, gentlemen, i( this same Kditor will bo satined with
one striking instance ol the verity of (he charge; or rather
I might enquire, whether conscious, as ho must he ol o(
lence, and participant in it as he is known to have been,
he would yield his acknowledgment to one ol a thousand
instances, confirmed, as they nil might.he, by the clearest
proofs? Hut to the',fact. About the year-John II.
Pleasant*, the Kditor of the Richmond Whig, being seized,
as he has told the public, with a violent desire Tor loco
motion, the fidgets I presume, (and certainly not being
moved nr seduced either by (he lust ol place or ol money-,
oh! no, reader, you must not admit into your mind the sus
picion ol any thing so unworthy!) and finding it impossi
ble to allay his locomotive fever by perambulating the
hi 11* and* dale smfiici* o( Richmond, er even by p<t**iiig (o
and Irom his father's in Goochland county, found it abso
lutely necessary as the only effectual nostrum to ob
tain from the coalition President-maker, the employ
ment of carrying (for the. consideration of nearly
two thousand dollars) certain papers to Hueuos Ayrea.
Having touched the cash in advance, oil he goes: but,
soon finding bis locomotive propensities villainously cramp
ed in (he cabin of the vessel in w hich he set sail, and his
, dainty person much annoyed by the company of many swi
nish plebeians, very unfit associates for a plenipotentiary,
\ he contrives to make use of three vessels in crossing the At
| Jantic, and committing his papers, message, or whatever
it w as he was charged with, (except the nation’s money)
! to some person whom rlinncc had thrown in his w iy, he
j sails gaily off upon a trip of amusement to Great Hritaiu.
i Arrived »i( Liverpool, even lii* effrontery m tomewliat Mar- :
tied at what lie had ventured (o do: he accordingly inform*
i his kind Iriciid, ( lay, that he docs not doubt the surprize ^
j his conduct could not lail lo excite: hut as he had begun
■ the frolic, liu would keep it up lor a lew wrecks by amus
ing himself in the best manner the opportunity afforded,
I and would render a more particular account ol iiiinself up
j on his return homo. Ho returned, and it is presumed
, gave a satisfactory explanation lo his indulgent fiicnd; for
we find that he preferred a claim against the government
| for the expenses of a voyage it had never required him to
perform, for services never rendered, including a large per
j diem compensation during the lime spent by him in survey
i ing the sights and novelties of Knglaiid-,—and ol this scan
I da loll* claim the coalition ,Secretary allowed every cent '!
; T he transaction here mentioned is a mere peccadillo,
compared with others of the same administration. It has
, been selected for notice here, because it at once sustains
the declaration* of the committee, and exposes the conve
nient lapses of memory of w hich such men a* the alore
' *-'id Kditor can ho capable. It shews, that altho’ this gr»

(hat altho'the facts by which it was exposed tothr nation

(hat w hich would render the impudent cant ol (hi Kdilor
