^From the N. Y. National Advocate, October 2.]
We this morning have the satisfaction
w of presenting to our fellow-citizens, an ad-
h dress fron: the portion of the Republican
General Committee, who yet maintain
the-ground of the democratic party. It
breaths a spirit which will find a res
ponse in every heart “ determined to be
free,” while jt will show to the democrats
of the city and of the state that its rights
arc guarded by vigilant, fearless and pat
riotic men. We will not keep oitr read
ers from the pcrsual of it, certain as we
are, that there is a spirit up in this city to
!iu over whelm the usurpations and the unpre-
ip cedented coarse and tone of some 21 men
in the employment of Clinton and Van
'js| Buren.
'j|| Fellow Citizens.—It is with sincere
!aj regret that the undersigned, a minority of
[H'j the Republican General Committee, of
Hi! the city of New-York, find themselves re
duced to the painful necessity of dissent
ing from the unprecedented course recent
ly adopted by a majority of that Commit
tee, and now proclaimed, as an edict to be
strictly observed in the primary meetings
of the free and independent Republican
Electors of this city, to be held in the
several Wards on Wednesday, evening the
3d October instant. The terms of the
pdict, are, that they (the people j shall elect
such citizens only to represent them in
their different committees as are favorable
to the election of Andrew Jackson as
President of the United States.—Before
tve proceed, the undersigned beg leave to
9#k their fellow citizens if such a power of
proscription and dictation was ever dele
gated to or practised by any other gener
al committee 1” And having perfect
knowledge that no such power -was ever
delegated, they believe it-to be their boun,
den duty, and in the name of the free and
independent republicans of this city, they
do most solemnly protest against such dic
tation. It is the sincere hope of the un
dersigned that the ma jority of the General
Cominit'co on the due consideration of
the future consequences of such measures
to our free institutions, wilj not persist in
future overt acts of violence on the free ex
ercise of elective franchise in the primary
assemblies of the people. W.o do entreat
tint majority most of whom are our friends
to pause.
The combination in these violent and
unprecedented, measures -aim to influence
the election of President of die U. States,
when such election constitutionally be
longs to electors to be chosen io dis'ricts
by the people of this state, and docs not
take place until about fourteen months
from this date. Neither can tiie election
of Senators or Assembly men, and far
less the City Corporation now about to
take place, have atiy proper bearing on the
presidential election ; unless the secret in
tent of the master spirit’s be, in case of
their obtaining a majority in the ‘Legisla
ture of this state also to breakdown the
present electoral law to subserve their
own purpose.
It is therefore respectfully recommend
ed bv the undersigned to the free and
unbiased republican electors of this city,
to meet on the evening of the 3d inst.
in their several wards, pursuant to the
recommendation of the General Com
mit ee and in the first instance to decide
whether the course dictated by a major
ity of that committee in attempting to fore
stall public semiment receives their sanc
tion or whether they will not rather adhere
to the old & established republican usages,
It will not be denied that minorities have
lights equally sacred to civil liberty with
those of majorities, and that the exercise
of ’hose righ s qii both sides, t-. be right,
must he just and reasonable.
. We sb all continue to lu-ld our scats in
that Commit ee as the regular represen
tatives f amour respective wards and do
intend u>sustain these scales and guard
the public interest in pari committed to
Our care to the best of our ability; and we
do now iu full confidence appeal to our
republican fellowcitizens on the subject
matter liereby presented for their consid
eration and .final decision, disclaiming
all dictation in the free and liberal exercise
of elective rights as sesured to every indi
vidual citizen by our general and state go-
rei nmeat.

Rgckville, Oct. 2d, 1827
Gentlemen—Aware of those courses
which w l! be taken by the opponents of
tho.Administration, iu claimiugthe victory
in Montgomery county, I deem it proper
to apprise you of the circumstances which
enabled the friends of General Jacks *n
to elect two members of the Legislature,
by the small majority of 30 voles. Six
candidates friendly io tho administration
and three fi iendly to Gen. Jackson pre
sented themselves on the day of election
the consequent division among our
friends, added to the unwillingness of many
to blend the presidential election with
that of tho Legislature, accounts for our
failure in not electing four Administration
Inen. The result however has given us the
most consoling and satisfactory evidence
of a decided evidence for Mr. Adams of
from 4 to 500 votes, which I confidently
assert will be exhibited at the ejeciiun, se
curing beyond doubt the district to Mr.
Adams;
The Administration candidate for the
Sheriffalty has succeeded over the Jack-
son candidates by a majority of more than
four hundred votes.—Nat. Inf.
Mr. Eaton's Letter.—Not having any
motive for preventing our readers from
seeing any thing, of consequence, which
may be published, by either party, in re
ference to the Presidential Election,
we give to our readers, to-day, the Letter
of Mr. Senator Eaton, of Tennessee,
which, from previous annunciations, they
have had some reason to expect.
The general tone and temper of the
Letter of Mr. Eaton is such as to entitle
it to commendation, especially by the
contrast which it affords to the coarseness
and rudeness of some of those publica
tions, which the existing political contest
has elicited from the friends and support
ers of Gen. Jackson’s claims to the Pre
sidency.
Tho Letter of Mr. Eaton is, neverthe
less, imbued with prejudice, which disco
lors all his conclusions. His argument,
respecting Mr. Clay’s motives and con
duct, appears to be wholly fallacious,
when it is recolletted, that not on the
30th of December, nor on the 22d of Jan
uary, but many weeks before either date,
Mr. Clay’s mind was made up as to the
vote he should give, in case ot the election
being brought, in the House of Represen
tatives, to a question between Mr. Adams
and General Jackson. As the reader’s
recollection .may not carry him hack to
the evidence of this fact, and as he may
be induced to suppose, from Mr. Eaton’s
Letter, that Mr. Clay’s Letter to Judge
Brooke was the first intimation of his in
tention in this respect, we have turned
back to our file for 1825, for the follow
ing document, to which it appears to be a
proper time for recalling the attention of
the Public, and which settles the matter,
beyond dispute, in favor of Mr. Clay’s
consistency and integrity in this matter.—
Here follows the letter of Professor Drake
already published in the Conrier.

By an arrival at Baltimore from Smyr
na and Gibraltar, we have later accounts
from Greece than had previously reached
us. It is said with an air of confidence
that the Sultan, notwithstanding the first
burst of indignation on his receipt of the
requisition of the Allied Sovereigns, has,
on more mature deliberation, consented
to treat with the Greeks. We are anx
ious to receive some further intelligence on
this subject. If a treaty be on foot there
will bo an armistice, and if even the ne-
gocialion should fail, the Greeks will have
some interval for repose and for recruii-
ing their strength.
It will be seen by these accounts, that
Lieut. Washington, formerly of West
Point, and who left this country to join the
Greeks, has been killed by a random shot
from a cannon.—Journal.
By De Witt Clinton, Governor nf the
State of New- York.
Whereas, Eli Bruce, Sheriff of the coun
ty of Niagara, has been charged before
me with a violation of his duties as a good
citizen, and a faithful officer, in being con
cerned in the abduction of William Mor
gan, and has been heard in his defence ;
And whereas, in the investigation of the
said accusation, it appeared that it was
completely in the power of the said Eli
Bruce if innocent, to establish his inno
cence. And whereas, to afford him that
opportunity, a decision on the complaint
has been suspended for an ample lime,
and he has given no explanation of his
conduct; And whereas, it appears that a
recent trial at Canadnigua of certain per
sons charged with the f said abduction, the
said Eli Bruce, when called on as a wit
ness, refused to testify on several material
points, on the ground of self-crimination;
fr. m nil which, I am persuaded that he
was a participant in the said abduction,
and thereby lias rendered himself unwor
thy of the official station which he at pre
sent occupies ; I do, therefore; pursuant
to tho powers vested in me by the consti
tution of this state, remove the said Eli
Bruce from the on.ee of Sheriff of the
co’u ntv of N iagara.
In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and the privy
(L. S.) seal o ’the state, at the city of
Albany, this 26:h day of Sep
tember, Anno Domini, 1827.
DE WITT CLINTON.
We are much gratified at this measure.
A man, who, when holding so important
an executive office as thutof sheriff, could
be engaged ill so nefarious a transaction as
that which has led to this result, must be
totally u-. worthy of any trust or confidence,
and all good people will approve of his dis
mission.
The N. Y. Enquirer says :
“ We regret to perceive a few of the
steady ft lends <>f Mr. Crawford, uniting
with the very men who destroyed his elec
tion in 1824.”
There are very good reasons why the
friendsof Mr. Crawford should be oppo
sed to the election of Gen. Andrew Jack-
son. It is impossible that men vyho have
any regard for that gentleman, to support
his violent and furious enemy ; a man
who publicly threatened to cut Mr. Craw
ford’s ears off; who audaciously declared
the world was not big enough for him and
and the Secretary of Treasury, and who,
in his own house, when President Mon
roe was his guest, avowed that the. only
act which disgraced his administration \yas
keeping Crawford in office. While his
friends remember these violent denuncia
tions they will not be likely to favor for
the presidency the man who made them.

Attempt of an Eagle to devour a bot.
A very singular occurrence happened
the week before last, in thePaiish of St.
Ambroise, about nine miles from this city.
Two boys, the one seven and the other
five years old, amused themselves in an
adjoining field, trying to reap, while their
parents were at dinner. A large eagle
, soon came sailing over them—and with a
i swoop attempted to seize the eldest, but
j luckily missed him. The bird not at all
j dismayed, sat on the ground at a short dis-
' tance.’ The bold little fellow defended-
ed himself against his fierce antagonist,
with the sickle he had very fortunately in
his hand, and when the bird rushed upon
him he struck at it. The sickle entered
under the left wing, and the blow having
been given strongly, went through the
ribs, and passing through the liver proved
fatal. The Eagle was afterwards sold to
| Mr. Chasseur, who had stuffed it and pla
ced it in his museum, where it may now
| be seen. It is the ringtailed or Russian
Eagle. The wings expand upwards of six
feet. Its stomach was opened and found
! entirely empty. The little boy did not
receive a scratch. Had the eagle seized
him, his talons, which are of uncommon
strength and about an inch and a half
long, must have lacerated him dreadfully.
There is little doubt, w’ithout the bird was
much weakened by hunger, that ii blow
or two from its beak would have torn out
his eyes, and with the instinct peculiar to
birds of prey, broken in a moment the
thin parts of the skull about the eye, and
almost instantly destroyed his life.
Several eagles of this species breed in
the high Capes about Cape Tourmente,
below St. Joachim. In the fall they feed
chiefly upon sea fowl and the caracasses of
fish. In the summer months they are de
structive to poultry, often carrying of}' a
large turkey or a goose in iheir claws,
from the barn door.
The present is the first well authentica
ted instance of their attacking children in
this country ,which hascome to our know-
ledge.
Mr. Barry O’Meara controverts, in a
letter in a London morning paper, a vast
number of the facts and statements of Sir
Walter Scott’s Life of Napoleon.
It is currently reported, both in Paris
and London, that General Gourgaud is
abmi t put himself in communication
with Sir Walter Scott, as to the mention
made of him in the Life of Napoleon.—
Indeed, it v. as said in Paris, that he had
set out for England for that purpose—we
hope the said General will be prevented
from carrying his views to extremities.
ERRY’S VICTORY, on Lake Erie,
was celebrated on the 10 of September,
by a public dinner near Frankford, Ken
tucky. Gen. Jackson was invited to at
tend, but he politely declined. The fol
lowing is an extract from his reply to the
letter of the. committee.
“ The friendly notice you have been
pleased to take of my public and private
character, merits my sincere thanks, I
beg you to accept them. It is true that
reproach and calumny have opened freely
their steams against me. Every thing dear
to one at my time of life, who of necessity
must repose for character and a good name,
more on the past than the future ; and who
must look rather to what has been, than
what may be, has indeed been violently
assailed. Placed before the people, I
was not weak enough to presume that the
volume of my life would not be opened
and ransacked, and every public incident
seized upon, that by possibility might be
used to my disadvantage : yet I did hope
that a liberal and generous feeling on the
part of my countrymen would spare me
at least those assaults which slander and
falsehood might delight to inflict. In that
I have been disappointed. Y'et have I
found a redeeming security in this ; that
truth was mighty and although for a time
her principles might be obscured, in the
end her triumph would be but the more
complete,
“ To each ofyou, individually,I beg leave
to tender my sincere regard, and request
you to present my respects to tiie citizens
whom you represent,
Very respectful!' vour mos’ ob’t serv’t:

Leghorn Aug. 16—(Extract ofa private
letter.) A letter from the Isle of Zante
dated the 2d of Aug. sa\s: “ Admiral
Cochrane after having burnt the Egyptian
brig Alexandria, and carried terror into
the enemy’s country, has returned to Po-
ros. Yesterday morning a little frigate of
30 canimns, and a schooner of the Pink
ish fleet, passed our island for the purpose
of going to Patros, suddenly Admiral Co
chrane appeared near Scruples with the
Helias and the Soter (Savor) a Philhellan
brig ; about noon a brisk firing was beard,
and in the evening we had news of the
battle. This morning, early, the Hellas
was seen bearing up to our island, along
with the Soter which had in tow the ene
my’s frigate, the Greek flag flying at the
mast head. The Turkish crew had been
obliged to surrender, after a resistance of
ten minutes, their vessel having been great
ly damaged by the fire of the Hellas. The
Greek sailors were on its deck, endeavo
ring to repair the injuries it had received.
The mainmast was broken at the place
which receives it but it would be easy to
mend. The Greeks came so near to our
port, that we were able, with a telescope
to distinguish the men. As for the Turk
ish schooner, it was taken without having
any injury. The Greek vessel sailed to
wards Clarenza, where they will anchor,
and arm the schooner, by to-morrow
morning.

C<pnER.—Cipher is a kind of* enigma
tic character, composed of several ’letters
interwoven, which are generally the initi
al letters of the person’s name for whom
ciphers are intended. It is also applied
to certain secret characters, disguised and
varied : used for the writing of letters that
contain secrets not to be understood by a-
nv but those, between whom the cipher is
agreed on. This is now reduced to a se
parate art, called Crytngraphia Polygra
phia and Steganographia.
The following is the best method to be
observed iu communicating secret intel
ligence by-ciphers. Take two pieces of
pasteboard, or stiff paper, through which
you must cut loDg squares, at different
distances, as you will see in the following
example. One oTthese pieces you keep
yourself, and the other you give to your
correspondent. When you would send
him any secret intelligence, you lay the
pasteboard upon a paper of the same size
and iu in the spaces cut out, you write
what y ou would have understood by him
only, and then fill up the intermediate spa
ces with somewhat that makesthese’words
a different sense. The following is a let
ter of assignation :
“ [I shall be] much obliged to you, as
reading [alone engages my attention [at]
present, if you will lend me any one of the
[eight] volumes of the Spectator. I hope
you will excuse [this] freedom, but for a
winter’s [evening,] I [doni] know better
entertainment. If I [fail] to return it soon
nevertrustmefor time [tocome.]”
A paper of this sort may be placed four
different ways either by putting the bottom
at the top, orbv turning it over; and by
these means the superfluous words may be
the more easily adapted to the sense of
the others. This is a very eligible cipher,
as it is free from suspicion, but it will do
only for short messages ; for if the spaces
befiequent, it will be very difficult to
make the concealed and obvious meanings
agree together ; and if the sense be not
clear, the writing will be liable to suspicion.
We perceive with much regret though
we confess with no great astonishment,
that certain papers at the South, having
ascertained that the statements made by
Mr. Buchanan, relative to the averments
of General Jackson, do not confirm, the
impressions which the General’s letter
and Mr. Beverh’s report did at first cause,
have proceeded to offer up the character
of Mr. Buchanan, as a sacrifice to their
illiberal wishes. It so happens, that in
the Presidential question, we find our
selves in opposition to the Hon. James
Buchanan, of Lancaster ; but our respect
for his honour, his moral integrity, remains
as it did when we recorded with approba
tion every public movement of that dis
tinguished individual: And we take the
present occasion of saying to those who
seek their own interest in villifying him,
that the sphere of their influence is ex
tremely limited ; Pennsylvania knows the
worth of her talented citizens, and Penn
sylvanians will not, as we believe, suffer a
difference upon a single qncslion,to lessen
their high respect for exalted talents, or
gratitude for their public and beneficial
exercise. Lancaster county will probably
furnish a majority opposed to the presi
dential predilections of Mr. Buchanan ;
but that majority will not hesitate to do
ample justice to the uprightness of their
distinguished fellow-citizen.
Would those that now assail Mr. Buch
anan for not confirming all they desired,
for not putting the “ yea and the amen,”
to what he knew was not true, would they
have failed to use his “accommodation”
to his injury, when their failing cause re
quired the sacrifice, had he (as he is most
incapable of doing) swerved from his own
conviction of right.
This attempt to blacken the reputation
of such a man as Mr. Buchanan, shows to
what a reckless state have certain of the

We publish to-day an interesting letter
from General Jackson, declining to dine
with a party celebrating Perry’s Victory.
The idea of a man, at his stage of life,
having to “repose for character and a
good name more on the past than the
future,” and “ looking rather to what has
been, than what may be,” is affecting and
beautiful. But no man in this country
can rest on his past acts with a prouder
confidence of futui c fa*»e, than can the
Hero of New Orleans; and whether or
not he shall enjoy any future opportunity
of increasing his reputation, enough al
ready exists to emblazon the page of his
tory with his name. The ycang soldier,
wiih eager ambition, may spring forward
to the goal of his hopes and snatch fresh
laurels in other fields; but the old Gene
ral, adorned with the warrior’s wreath,
rests proudly on his present trophies?—
The laurels which the youthful aspirant
seeks ill his country’s service, that coun
try will award as his deeds may merit;
but those which the old patriot has already
won, she will cherish while he lives, and
watering their sacred roots with Ifer tears,
bid them bloom forever over his tomb !
The City of New York, judging from

us well calculated to keep the people

ever been displeased with those inter

which .are unknown to the Constitution,
and which, thrusting themselves, between
the people and their legal organs, assume
to themselves the direction of public opin

they arc called, we consider very irregu
lar, and their ultimate tendency, by vio
lating public free-will, to concentrate all
the powers of popular government in a
few hands, should fix their character at
once with all those whose principles and
habits lead them to prefer a republican
form of government. What should we
do, if we were in the midst of all this bus
tle, when here the very perusal of their
papers puts us into such a fidget, that we
could scarcely set still long enough to writo
down these few remarks? We thought
we lived amidst heat and bustle enough;

MORTISING MACHINE. .
A paper published in the interior of the
state of New-York, contains a description
of a patent machine, invented by Simon
Leroy, for mortising carriage hubs, bed
stead posts, secretary and bureau posts,
table legs, &C. The machines are-sold at
twenty dollars each. Its virtues are thus
described by the patentee.
With this machine a boy of fourteen
years of age, can do as much work in any
given time as six men will do in the ordin
ary way; besides it has the inestimable
advantage of making every mortice alike.
In carriage bubs the mortice may be kept
clear bv means of a spring, placed at the
back nf a chisel. The machine is small,
and can be placed in any corner of the
shop, it being not more than two feet eight
inches in length, sixteen inches in width,
and three feet high ; the weight of the
whole does not exeeeffftfty pounds. The
cost of the irofi work will not be more than
two dollars'for each machine.. Any sized
chisel can be used in the machine, from
eighth of an inch to five quarters. The
whole is formed without a wheel or pinion,
is very simple in construction, and not lia-
able to injury, and can be either made or
repaired by any common mechanic.
