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 i eneinii-s. i - 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, , 11. CLAY. 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 tor to walk over the course —Courier % En , pii.'rr. ’ j ; From the Savannah Get/rg.'en. From Florida. 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 place, in which he, in the strongest and most emphatic language, condemns the Sub-Treasury scheme, and renounces the s upport of those who 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 ser.

Fever axd 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 ; the healthiness of the clima’e, and not the iuef -1 ficicncy of the experiment.” 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, i —few Orleans Picayune. 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 , first!” __ 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.
