** only legitimate means of promoting the
several of the resolutions animated and
JZ\t debates arose-a sketch of which will

Thl*r about to be issued from Richmond under
Auspices of the Virginia Temperance So
"V and of which the next number will ap

com ,or publication, are also to publish with
'vm an address to the people of Virginia.—
This committee consists of Gen. Jno. H. Cocke, I
^rs. Lucian Minor, Jeremiah Morton, and
William M. Blackford.
Besides other gentlemen distinguished for ta- .
ts or zeal, the Convention was attended by ;
Dr Justin Edwards, of Mass., and E. C. Lela
V 0f Albany, both leading champions in the
against Intemperance,—whose speeches,
n"r with pertinent facts and powerful ar
pimento "reatly heightened the interest of the j
occasion.___
A public meeting is fo beheld in Georgetown .
p C on Friday evening next, to appoint Dele
s to the proposed Chesapeake, and Ohio
ranal Convention, to be held in Baltimore.—
tv Mayor of that place has been directed, by
a vote of the Common Council to call the meet

It is proposed in the New Orleans Courier
(Jackson paper) to call public meetings in con

Cholera —We publish to day tlu* report of the
Board ofHealth, for the week ending yesterday
m wain' H will tie seen that the whole number
of deaths is 07, of which 29 are reported to he
of Cholera. Within the past week some orom
hiistesteemed citizens have become its victims;
• (w learn that since Sunday last, the number
of cases have been considerably reduced, and
the disease has assumed a milder type, and

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.—A public meet
ing was held in Pittsburg, Pa. on Friday last,
the Mayor of the City in the Chair, at which re
solutions favorable to the speedy completion of
this greqt national work were passed, and the
folio#iif.' delegation appointed to represent that
City in the Convention which is to assemble in
Baltimore on the 9th December. —T. B. Dallas,

OinoE llction.—T he last Columbus Sentinel
contains returns of the vote tor Governor from
•il the organized counties of Otiio; from which
itappears that the aggregate of Lucas’ vote was
*9.59;t; of Findlay’s 66,481:—majority for Luca<
3,109. Lucas’ majority two yetirs ago, was
8,i>p>. Jackson loss since 1832, 1,957. But if
tried by arty other test than the vote for Go
remor, the Jackson loss is more than double
that number of votes. The aggregate vote for
the Whig Congressmen, at the recent election,
b supposed to have exceeded that of the Jack
son candidates, by six or eight thousand.—
This shews the actual change in Ohio.
Murder of Perry.—We understand that an
individual is now in prison on suspicion of being
the perpetrator of the murder of William Perry,
on the evening of the Ward Elections. He was
arrested by High Constable Garrigues, on Sa
turday last, in the vicinity of Lancaster, Pa.; had
a partial examination yesterday morning be
fore the Mayor, and was committed for a fur
ther hearing It appears that suspicion has
rested on him for some time, and Mr. Garrigues
vasin pursuit of him in the same neighborhood
about two weeks since. The name of the pri
soner is Daniel Geer, or Guier.— l*ennsyleanian.
Dreaihtl Accident.—A letter from Missouri
t» i gentleman in Baltimore, dated October 25,
states that the steam boat Boon-dick, in desccnd
i'i; the river, on the previous night, came in con
tact with the steam-boat Missouri Belle, bound
1° >st. Louis, when about fifteen miles above that
bty.and that such were the force and effects of
the concussion, that the Missouri Belle sunk in
'-ss than two minutes, in about one hundred feet
viter. It is added that, at the time of writing tiie
•-'ter :i!':een ■ twenty persons were missing—
Opposed to have been lost with the boat!—.V. Y.

bir Joshua Reynolds used to relate an anec
'"te of a venison feast, at which were assembled
Jjunv who much enjoyed the repast. He ad
his conversation to one of the company.
nr. M-. but could not get a single word in an
v*er> until at length his silent neighbour, turn
nStohim, said, “Mr. Reynolds, whenever you
lr,> at a venison feast 1 advise you not to speak
•bile at dinner, as endeavoring to answer your
Question, 1 have swallowed a fine piece of fat en
hte without tasting its flavor.”
Thhi. or \ CornrEBFEiTER.—We learn from
ft?Lewisburg Alleghanian, tli^t Alexander De
was arraign M hefore the late Superior
'■ourt of Monroe County, (JinlgcJ. E. Brown,
?*>.,siding.) on two bills of indictment, charging
with passing a counterfeit $ 10 note of the U.
; Bank, and a note of the like amount of the
'waters' Rank uf Virgina. A demurrer was fil I
^ to it** first indictment, assigning various
Ci'ises. but the principle andjmost important ob
J*ction made by the prisoner’s counsel, was j
* variance between the note described
^ the indictment and in the evidence. The,
" ,a was described as “a banknote of the
.ln* of the United States,” whereas that of- i
in evidence purported to be a note‘‘pro- j
!fn*to pay to order, or R. Smith,” Jtc. signed
Biddle, Prest., Wm. Mcllvaine, Cashr.”
I. b**ut the indorsement of R. Smith on its buck, '
*as extended by the prisoner that this was
' a note, but a check, which, not being
Ofsed, was incomplete, not negotiable, not
Kr!hl!7^’ ant*»even tf it had been correctly de
'n,^e indictment, was not such a paper
^ counterfeiting of w hich a prosecution
B)aH lC' regarding the points
e novel and difficult, wished to adjourn
the General Court; and the prisoner’s;
‘^l objecting, he overruled their objection, i
The only difficulty with the Judge was, whether
this was such a paper, as, it genuine, the Bank
would be compelled to pay. A bank note is a
note payable to A. B. or bearer, which requires
no endorsement, whereas the note offered in
evidence was of a different character. On the
supposition, however, that it was such paper as;
the Bank would be forced to redeem, the Judge ;
ordered the prisoner to be put upon his trial.— •
Other objections were then made as to the j
variance between the indictment and the
evidence, which were sustained by the Court,
and upon which the prisoner stood acquitted.—
On the second indictment, also, similar objec
tions, as to the variance between the note de
scribed and that offered in evidence, were made
and sustained: whereupon application was made
for the prisoner’s discharge; but the Judge refus
ed to discharge him, and remanded him to jail to
await a new indictment. The prisoner’s counsel
contended that the prisoner was entitled to his
discharge, inasmuch as the jury was empannel
led and sworn in both cases, when the question
arose, and rendered a verdict of “not guilty.”
The Court insisted on the correctness of its
comse, hut ordered the prisoner to bo released
from confinement on entering into recognizance
before a justice of the peace, himself in $1000,
and one security in §1000, or two in §300, to
appear at the next term. Counsel for the com
monwealth, Henley Chapman, Esq.—for the
prisoner, Messrs. Caperton, A. A. Chapman and

Extract of a letter, recently written, by a native
of the Old Dominion.
“The returns of Elections this morning from
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, are contradic
tory; but 1 believe both States have gone for
Jackson. It has become very much a matter of
indifference to me. I have seen so much of
northern politics, that J can, with propriety,
compare the parties (as far as relates to the
South at least) to the swarm of flics on the fox,
in the fable: it is only driving ofF one swarm, for
another, more hungry, to take their places.—
When I speak of the parties, I mean the leaders
of them; for the North—and particularly the
Middle States, New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and some of the Western States—are
governed by the mob. or the leaders of the mob.
Look at the election in Philadelphia, when it
was almost as much as a man’s life was worth,
to deposite his vote; and then the winding up
fire-arms used, IS or 20 men wounded, 2 or 3
killed, and 5 houses burnt to the ground! Can
that be called the free and unbiassed voice of
the people? Each party charges the other with
commencing the fray; and it would certainly
puzzle more than one Philadelphia lawyer to
decide which was most to blame. Assuredly 1
would be glad should the If/u'gs succeed, be
cause I believe their principles better; but the
South has but little to expect from either party,
and must take care of themselves. To do this,
they must stand by each other, and maintain
that “Suit ifcation is the Rightful Remedu;" for
“to that complexion we must come at last.”

.Mr. Snowden:—The following sharp encoun
ter of wit is related to have occurred at one ot
the President’s levees, during the last winter.
betweeen a Miss P-of Loudoun county, Va.,
and a gentleman, ndw high in office. Miss
P-was a violent anti-Jacksonian, and he, of
course, a warm supporter of the Hero:
“ Miss l’-, have you not observed, that as
an evidence of “ The President's" popularity,
his portrait is to be seen on almost every sign
board in the country?”
“ 1 have observed it, sir,” replied she, V but
have invariably noticed, that a large crack runs
through the centre of them all.”
