Massachusetts.
The editor of the Boston Atlas concludes a
long and interesting article on the prospecis of
i Massachusetts, with tire following remarks:
“ We can also calculate with a good degree of
j certainty, that all the votes which are cast beyond
60,060, will be for Harrison and Davis. What
i the aggregate vote of the State will he, we do not
I pretend to conjecture. All our accounts afjiee
j in placing it at not less than I 15,000, and it will
be more likely to reach 120,000 If the aggre
gate vote is only 1 15,000, the Whig majority
will he 15,000, and we have strong expectation*
that we shall he able to show a Whig majority
of 20,000. We shall assuredly do this if the
Whigs in every part of the State perform the:r
whole duty. Aral now, Whigs of Massachusetts,
what say you to these things? Are you ambi
tious o show the largest Whig majority, in pro
i portion to your number of voters, of any State in
the Union ? The thing is perfectly practicable,
i and entirely within your power. A wake to your
1 duty, organize in every town and in every
j school district, and see that every Whig i.s at the
; polls m the 9lh of November next, and you
will witness a result, gratifying indeed, to all
I the soriu of freedom, and overwhelming to your

A Letter From Mr. ( lay.
Thf, N Y. Times gives the following as an ex
tract of a lettci from the Hon. Henry Clay:
“Asulami, 23cl Sept. 1840.
“I adhere still to the opinion cxpicsscd by me
severs, months ago, that Mr. Van Burcn will not
obtain the voles of more than six slates in the
Union. Every thing that has since occurred—
cvc/y election that has since taken place, tends to
strengthen and confirm it. Ot those six states,
Maine and Alabama are two, and he can no lon
ger count with confidence upon either of them in
November.
Our information, derived from the southern
part of Ohio, coincides with your’s from the
northern, that Gen. Harrison will obtain its vote
by an overwhelming majority.
We rely upon the vote of New York.
With great respect, lam yours truly, ,

Too Good to be Los r.-In 1828 when the con
test bet ween Jackson and Adams was at its height,
Van Bt.ren facetiously remarked, that Mr. Adams
belonged to a family that could not repeat —that
they were good four mile nags for a single heat
but always destined to be distanced on the second
trial ? Wonder if is’nt inclined to think there
is another nag of a somewhat similar character
now entered for the second heat, who from ap
pearances, will not only be distanced, but ‘ break
down in the first quarter and leave his competi

A Mail u llh Government despatches captur'd
by the Indians.
We learn from a Fiend!y and attentive corres
pondent at Fort Holmes (under date of Sth inst.)
;hat the Express Rider going West with the
Mail was fired upon (6th inst.) by a large party
of Indians, concealed in a small hammock, three
1 miles distant from that post,
He discovered the Indians before they fired,
but bis horse hav ng become alarmed he vs as un
able to turn him, and making a “ virtue cf ne
cessitv,” the rider, with admirable presence ct
1 * mind, threw himself flat upon the horse and
dished li rough the enemy, about fourteen es
whom fired at him. One ball carried away his
hat. but he was fortunate to escape without a
wound. The horse ran aoout 100 yards and
fell; the rider immediately seized the mail bags
biid fled towards Fort Russell, hotly pursued by
the Indians, who continued the pursuit as ur as
Orange Creek, four miles from the scene of tneii
attempted murder.
The rider, in the course of the chase, was com
pelled to drop the mail. Information of the allair
did not reach Fort Holmes until late in tnc at.er
noon. Lieut. J. M( Kinstrey, of the 2J Infantry,
immediately started with 25 men in pursuit ol Ine
enemy—arriving at the spot he look up the trail
and continued the chase until S u clock that nignt,
when he reluctantly gave it up and bivouacked
on the banks cf the Ocklawaha. '1 he next
morning Lieut. McK. made a raft and attempted
to cross his command over the river, satisfied that
the Indians were in the hammock ot the opposite
side, hut it was found that the bark was not only
tjo frail, but the stream to rapid to effect the ob
ject. The trail waa lost in the mud and waters
of the Ocklawaha swamp.
The next morning Lieut. McK. returned to
the scene of action, and extending his men as
Light -Infantry, found the greater part of the
mail.
The only letters broken open were those ad
dressed to the Commanding General and his
staff. These letters were found ata long dis
tance from the spot where the larger portion of
the mail was discovered, and on the trail which
the enemy followed in their escape.
One order from Washington, addressed to
Gen. Armstead was missing—its envelope only
having been found. These circumstances con
vinced Lieut. McK. that the enemy had with
them some one who can read, and if so, it is not
impossible that they are now in possession of irn
poilanl information, for the season for opening
the campaign is rapidly approaching, and the
communication from Washington, which wc
have mentioned as missing, may have been in
structions relative to tire movements of the army
during the ensuing season.
The Cheat Contest. —The great issue now
before the American people is not merely wheth
er Gen. Harrison or Mr. Van Buren shall be
i Prc-ident. But it is whether a despotic policy .
j derived from the systems of twenty-two foreign
i governments, and ooiled down into one grand
i scheme, shall be fixed on the General Govern
| mentoftbe United .Stales—a sy.-tem which has
j ground down the men who till liic soil of Cuba,
of Spain, of Russia, of Ge many, and of France,
the laboring man and the mechanic, into the t ry
earth,- deprived them of the wholesome toed,
comfortable clothing and warm habitations which
labor ought, in every country, to be able to pur
chase, and exposed them and their families, in
times of sickness or w ant of employ ment, to des
titution and starvation—a system which will
make the laboring man a mere fixture of the soil,
to be yoked and collared. lue the ox in the field,
or the ass on the mountains.

Fellow-Citizens:—\\ e owe all we have to
boast of, as a nation, to a national sririt. Wc
owe it to our confederation'our revolution, our in
dependence, and above ail our constitute..n ; that
preudest of all the monuments of human legis
g.slanon; but not more wonderful in itself than
that thirteen independent States should have a
grecd to it, and thereby have made themselves one
people. This is unique,altogether unique, in the
history of confederacies. Every where else,in every
age the esprit du corps has ever been too strong for
the esprit national. Neither indeed before, had
the wit of man been able to solve the problem how
State independence might be conciliated with na
tional sovereignty.
As in the past, we owe ail that is great in our
fortunes to this national spirit; soon this nation
al spirit all cur hopes of the tuturc are rested.
The pride of country, therefore, is the sentiment
which above all others, is to be assiduously culti
vated as essential to our future well-being. That
is the only guarantee we can have for the perpe
tuity of our Union ; and upon our untori our des
tinies depend ; the highest that ever were in pros
pect to a nation if that union be preserved ; but
if lost, the most calamitous. For there can be
no middle state for this country between the
splendour of one great prosperous nation, and
the degradation of petty independent sovereign
ties, in collision, and exposed to inter
na! wars, not unlike the barbarians on the coast
of Barbary ; not unlike our own early ancestors
under the heptarchy of England.
But with this national spirit for cur fast an
chor, there can be no fear of shipwreck to our
national prospects ; our Union then, will rideout
every storm in safety ; that spirit will carry us
tiiumphatly through ail wars, as it has done;
and, as it has done, will put down every in»ur
recrion, and control every faction. But this na
tional spirit has two rival spirits to contend
with; one not necessarily hostile,but it may be
come so—then it has a most deadly foe—l mean
party spirit. The cause of party may be the
cause of theceuntry ; then parly becomes a most
efficient auxiliary to the national spirit. Or par
ty may degenerate into faction, when it substi
tutes party for country; then it is at war w ith
the national spirit, and may be fatal to it; the
country then becomes the prey of I lie faction,
and the government becomes an oligarchy or a
monarchy, always in substance an 1 sometimes in
form. The national spirit has then to submit or
rise in arms to vindicate the national can e. The
other rival is the sectional spit it when extreme—
when it will nolidi-nlify its If whh the whole as
a part olT’ue whole, to be governed by the whale;
but opposes what is beneficial to the nation, if
the bent fit be only imrirect to herself as a part of
the whole; and worse, assumes, to abrogate, as
to herself, whatever laws of the nation she may
dislike and decide to be unconstitutional. But
sh<*rt of these extremes the sectional is not coni
patibie with the national spirit; on the contrary,
it is auxiii iry thereto ; fer it insures the attention
of the nation to their own interest in every pait
of the Union.
Now why do I mention there things? It is
because I consider this national spirit as the guar
dian angel of this country ; that alone has saved
us—that alone can save us in every rugged crisis
of our affairs ; that is our only hope in the pre
; sent crisis—the most momentous that hitherto
has impended over <ur destinies ; and which, as
I think, is to decide thorn forever. O ! that every
child of our country might imbibe this national
spirit with its mother’* milk—that it might be
the lesson of every school—that all our school
libraries, which wc are now forming, might in
stil (his pride of country in every youthful bo
som ! Many of the speeches of the great men
of our country, would be admirable for this pur
pose. They were enkindled by this spirit—they
would enkindle it in others. Often have I hung
j with rapture ot» the accents of that spirit; and
never shall I forget bis tones, nor my emotions
when he spoke of ibe Sumpters, the Marion,
and the other chivalrous sons of (he South, as
the common property of the country. Oui youth
would learn cf him to make the love of country,
the whole countiy and nothing but the country,
the absorbing passion of their souls. Efforts to
1 foster this national spirit, and to make it the
dominant feeling of the rising gei.eral.cn are the
more necessary, as the sectional spirit is the na
tional growth of our complex system, and as its
present tendency is to excess. I have said that
national spirit is our only hope in the present
1 crisis ; thank God, it now animates our whole
country, and to a degree that gives confidence as
well as hope; every where we see the people in
motion, assembling by thousands and thousands !
under the influence of this spirit: every where j
we see our statesmen, ear patrols and orators, |
(siring the field to enkindle and to give energy !
;to that spirit in these assemblies. But it has to !
contend with the evil spirit, to which I have allud
ed; the spirit of a dominant parly, that has become
I a faction—that has substituted party for country ■
—that has made the country their prey—that has
accumulated a power for self preservation i
never before witnessed in this country r nor any i
tiling like it—and that is unsernpious in the u-e
of that power, I have said, that this contest is :
to decide our future destinies. I think it must;
for if Marlin Van Burcn can re-elect himself by
executive influence, and he has nothing else to
depend on—it will prove that influence to be in
vincible; that every future struggle with it must ‘
be in vain; dial the present dynasty then is to
stand, and is to control those destinies. For that
influence is daily gaining strength, and it has
been gaining from the bi lli of the dynasty; and
circumstances for contending with it, can never
he more favorable.
It will prove that rot the phalanx of Phibp at
the bailie of Chteronea, when the liberties of
Greece fell beneath his sword ; not the legions of ,
i G’arsar, when he passed the Rubicon, and which
I at the bailie of Pharsalia, made him master of the ■
) Roman world—were more formidable to those
! countries, than Executive influence, with its Host, !
, has now become to these United Slates, And it I
will make no difference, under this dynasty, who
is President; whether he be a strong and decided
character, like Andrew Jackson, or a feeble
character, but managing, adroit, and specious, like •
| Martin \an Burcn—t r what the character may
j be—that influence will be enough, in anv hands,
ito perpetuate the dynasty. Such a character as
; Jackson was necessary to begin it, but the feeb- \
lest may continue it. Ido believe, therefore, as 1
I have said that the present is to be the struggle |
of life and death to tins country ; that if she now
! falls, she fulls to rise no more; and then that I,
I who witnessed, that these veterans, who helped to
I achieve the glories et the revolution, shall live to
I st> c them expire. For look, I pray you, at Martin
j Van Buren, and sec what is to be.
His whole administration is adverse to the very
genius of this country ; to that genius which has
made her what she if-—to that genius which was
• working out her high destinies in the most woncr
tul manner; not only adverse, but destructive to
that genius. His policy is slaying the very mind
ot the country ; and giving tohei the decrepitude
ol age, in the bloom of her youth. Her Eagle is
no longer to be the bird ol Jove—taking his flight
upward to the Heavens—lHe true emblem of her i
g< nius; but ber emblem is to be some low, crccp
j ing thing I know not what—Jmt a type of some !
i laifcied and poverty-stricken despotism; whose
financial policy he recommends, and which he
vvoub force us to adopt. Now her genius prompts .
her to enterprise, and improvement— to explore,
and to devclope her resources; to the ever on- j
ward march; but his policy is to repress that 1
i eilt erprise; to slop those improvements ; to leave j
those resources neglected, and locked up in the I
store house of nature; to retrogracc. and to retrace j
her steps, That enterprise he calls rash specula- [
t tion ; improvements profit!*. *• investments ;
and that credit bj which ihej are sustained, l-c
bape of the country. Now, I consider suca a
President the parricide of his country ; Inc worst
of parricides. .
The nsupation of power ny tr e jaxeculne,
i atrocious as that crime is. I consider as nothing
compared to ti c criminal use made of it—that ot
destroying the mind ol the country, ihe
but bad men of other limes, have never done this
or anv thing like it; far otherwise. They wou.d
be great,but they would have iheir countries great
also. Tne vast projects of Csesar—conceived, but
not executed, had nil in view the R man great
ness. If any thing could, (but that is impossible)
they would have atoned to Home for loss ol her
liberties ; such were the merit and grandeur of his
projects. Cromwell would be great, but he would
have England to be greater than ever; and he
made ail Europe to tremble and to stand in awe
of her great - ess. Her na*igation acts and prliry
which lie at the foundation of all her subsequent
and astonishing growth in opulente and power,
were begun by Cromwell. Those men disdained
the idca'of making themselves great, while they
made their country little. Such can only ire the
ignoble work of little minds —ambitious power,
but incapable ofany but little views. A gieat mind
with absolute power elevates his country to his
own standard ; but a little niiiul brings her down
to a level witn his own. A little mind, with
power to carry into effect his little views, must be
death to a great country like this. And sucSi is
the inevitable destiny ©t ours under this dynasty.
The work of death is now in progress ; it is
gradual, but it will be effectual—and < eatli is
inevitable. The first mortal wound to our coun
try, was the annihilation of the national curren
cy ; this was given by Jack-on ; wnereby our
whole internal trade has been totally ruined ; but
the finishing stroke has been given by \ an Bu
ren by his Sub-Treasury system; whereby all
that remained of business, founded on Dank cred
it, has been, and is to he, totally destroyed. Then
the shades of death wiiS retde upon the whole
business of the whole country. C?och is our
situation ; and such, at present, our doom ; and
in the coming contest, it is for the American peo
ple to say whether it shall remain such, and
whether that doom shall stand unreversed.
The Indianapolis Journal of October Ist says:
“We have just received a letter from a highly
respectable source, dated Logansport, September
29, which says George IV. Ewing 1 , one of the
Van Buren electors tor the State at large, lias
written a letter to Mr. J anus If. Kintcr of trial

emphatic language, condemns the Sub-Treasury

advocate that ruinous measure."
Buxkek Hill Mom mkxt. — We learn from
the proceedings of the Directors of the Bunker
Hill Monument Association, held yesterday, that
, it is probable that a contract will soon be entered
into, for the completion of the monument, accor
ding to the original plan, to the height ot 220
feet. A skilful and responsible contractor is icady
to enter into an t ngagement to complete the mon
ument, including the compensation to be paid to
. the architect, lor n 3 sura o >43,000. This is ex
clusive of the grading of the grounds, uiuf the
erection of a suitable fence, besides which there
is a debt from the Association, for money borrow
ed some years ago, amounting to over >500(1,
with interest, which sw ells the debt to about?7ooo,
making the cum near $60,000 requisite for the
satisfactory completion of the undertaking.
For effecting this object, the preset:! and anti
cipated resources of the Association are ihe fol
lowing.—'i’iie funds in the hands of the Treasurer
of the Association and cf the President, and of
the Tieasurer of the Mechanic Association, to
gether with subscriptions of sundry individuals,
arc more than equal to the amount of the debt.
The sum now in the hands of the managers of
the Ladies’ Fair, consisting of the nett proceeds
of the Fair, including several contributions
through the hands of the President of the Asso
ciation, exceed thirty thousand collars. In ad
dition, two gentlemen are ready to pay over to
the Treasurer of the Association the sums of ten
thousand dollars each, as soon as it appear,
by the final adjustment of the receipts from
the Fair, and the conclusion of the contract
for the completion of the work, that the con
ditions of these munificent donations a e com
plied with. Tiiis will be accomplished, we have
no doubt, in a few days, making the sum avnila
ble for the completion of this noble work fifty
tuousand dollars. — Boston Daily Adverti

Ague.—“A recipe for what!” Oh, don’t be alar
med ; you needn't try it if yon don’t like it.—
You can read it, though, without much danger,
i unless your blond is very thin. It is taken from
the Plattviile (Wisconsin) Badger; “Put on a
pair of cotton or linen pantaloons, (yellow if pos
| sible.) a long-tailed, pale blue, old jean coat, a
I high crowned, peackcd lopped straw or chip hat.
■ and a low pair of shoes without socks; then scat
1 yourself on a high stump next morning after the
first frost, and rest your 1 cad on your hand, and
your elbow on your knee, and look over the fence
wishfully,into a cucumber patch; you can stand
this operation for two hours wiihout your teeth
chattering, you are proof against the ague; ifthc
experiment fail, you may a'trihute the failure to

Fatal Rencontre.— Private letters were re
ceived in this city yesterday, by some of the
friends of Mr. Richard Hagan, stating that he
| had killed Joshua A. Lyle, who so dangerously
wounded Irm last spring. The particulars were
tliu- related to us. Mr. Kagan was on the plan
tation in Mississippi about which the former dis
pute between them originated, and in whose pos
! session the Courts of Mississippi have placed it.
Lyle came on the plantation armed, accompanied
I by the overseer who acted so reprehensible a part
I in the previous affray between the parties, and
! some three or four others. When Lyle came up
to Hagan, he fired and rr.isecd him; Hagan had
a douole barrel gun loaded with buckshot; he
i discharged the contents of the l airds at his as
sailant, which instantly killed him; the other he
filed at rhe overseer and wounded him severely
in the thigh. Thus fatally terminated the affray,

t No Ghost. — A roaring Macbeth was tearing
aw ay in a Western theatre, and the ghost of poor
murdered Hanquo did not appear to the proper
cue. “ Come on !” roared Macbeth. “Keep cool,”
replied ike ghost from Dehind the wings. “Will
you come ©n, sir V’ said the kdted king, in a more
conciliatory iminner. “No, if you please, sir, ’
said the provoking rogue of an actor, (he had been
hissed during the evening.) “Ne, sir —l’ve been
d das Banqno, and I'll bed d if I’ll b e
d d again as the ghost—l’ll see you j j

Clue for Intemperance.—Dr. Kichencr
says in his Invalid’s Oracle, “A gentleman in
Philadelphia, who was afflicted with a drunuen
wife, put a case of ruin in her way, ih the charit
able hope that she would drink herself to death,
i suspected his scheme, and from a mere prin
riple of contradiction abstained ever after from
.id use oi the bottle !” This was effecting a
cure without swallowing the physic—an excel
lent way to get rid of malady. We believe if all
liquors were called physic, men would drink less.
IWe hate physic. Ugh !
