Wa have been politely favored with the follow | lag interesting letter for publication, by the gen- I | tlaman to whom it is addressed. Vfe commend j I ft to the perusal of our readers, as giving an au n thentic and highly gratifying description of the , [■ country West of the Mississippi, assigned by Go- I Tornmcnt to the emigrating Cherokees, which j | hat been heretofore so much inisreprcsenled.— j Northern philanthropy, we hope, will take ales . son from this letter. The “hard hearted Geor- j I gians’’ are sending off the “poor Indians ’ from , j a country where there is no game, & where the j I poor miserable natives, in ail the inanity ot lia.ll ] civilized life, arc lying upon their tattered hlan f kots at night, and begging lor mere sustenance • [ io the day. We are sending thorn to a country | plentiful in game, where the very clothing of I their prey will make bountiful clothing fur them selves; and where the native energy of the abo- , | riginal will have full scope to operate, unadulte rated by the miserable pollutions of the degraded white man. We would beg our Northern breth- J ron, in the great cause of philanthropy, to cast * aside their prejudices, and let us work together in the good cause. Prejudice, like fate among iho ancients, should have no tributaries. Among the thousands of consecrated altars, late alone had no worshippers; amid their many thousand I altars, no incense ascended at her shrine; and at her altar, no sacrifice was offered. \\ o would , call upon our Northern brethren, if still we may I call them such—instead of exasperating the pour i Indian with imaginary ideas of independence, which must only result in shewing emphatically their dependence, to join with us in putting the original owner of I lie soi I upon a land where he 5 may exert all Ida native energies, and exercise all his primitive virtues, Jlighloiecr , Cherokee Co. Sept. 10, 1 §32. Dear Sik :—As the enrolling business is sus pended for the present, and I am detained here, , awaiting the session of 1 lall Circuit Court, to nt ? tend to the interests of some orphan Cherokees, the interval affords me an opportunity, fur the first time since my return, to redeem a pledge, that 1 would give you a history of my expedition with the Cherokee emigrants. 1 left the agency on Higliwasice river, in flat bottom boats, on the lUth April. On the 17th, after contending against adverse w indu, we arriv al! at Lamb’s Ferry, having passed the Boiling Pot and Tumbling Short Is, u ithout even exciting alarm witli the emigrants. Lamb’s Ferry is just above the Elk River Shoals, which are succeeded by the Muscle Shoals. Here we lay to for 2 days awaiting a calm, when, under the guidance a r *ki!- ful pilots, wo again put out and passed over these shallows and falls so rapidly, & so free from harm, that the emigrants could scarcely believe theyhad jot passed points, which in story, had been depict. «d in the most terrific characters, until the pilots were paid off and had actually turned back. On the 22d, having met the steam boat at Waterloo, balow Florence, near the foot of Colbert’s Shoals, we exchanged our slow and tedious mode of passing over the waters, for one much more expeditious; and eleven days and a half after wards, without a deatli or any serious indisposi tion, arrived within tne limi;s of the Cherokee country, and ns high up as the Creek Ageacy, Time would not admit of my taking as general an observation as 1 wished; but where it was out es my power to go and see particular sections, I obtained the most correct information that was to be had with regard to the advantages and dis advantages of that region of country assigned by the Treaty of 1828, to such of the Cherokees as may choose logo Westwnrdly. When the Boats came in view of that part of the Arkansas Territory, lying along the Missis sippi river, where the first Cherokee emigrants settled many years ago, near the river St. Fran cis, which is remarkably uninviting to a moun taineer, and presents the appearance of a low marshy level, I must admit I was fearfully appre hensive I had promised to my company a better home than they would ever realize. These fears continued, though gradually diminishing as we advanced up the rapid but winding current of the Arkansas river, until we had passed above that country where the Cherokees were located pro vious to the treaty of 1828, when hills anil wide -1 y extended valleys began to open to our view ; and instead of a dull and monotonous scenery, all that is romantic, all that is delightful to the •yoofthe farmer or the hunter, was there to be witnessed. Here too, the feelings of the Chcro kecs seemed to vary as much ns the face of the country —from a sullen dissatisfaction, accompa nied sometimes by low murmurs, and again by loud complaints, to a general expression of ad miration and joy. “Here is my country ! Who would not exchange lands in Georgia for such a home as this! !” were their exclamations. On our arrival in the night, at the mouth of the river Illinois, near the residence of the Agent, as well as the principal Chief, John Jolly, the latter having been aroused from his bed by the noise made in letting off* steam, came on board to wel come the emigrants to their new home, which was done in a most kind and parental manner. He spaaks only in his vernacular tongue, but having an interpreter present, 1 was informed, in addressing some of them, he said : “Mv breth ren, I am happy to see you at your new home.— 1 once lived east ot the Mississippi, but I saw the storm coming which rages through vour ancient hunting grounds, and left it. Here we find a •afe retreat from the operation of State or Terri torial Laws. No European King lias rendered our title doubtful, by granting "this soil to his colonies. We hold our grant under the uncm barrassed pledges of our great father, the Prcsi d«nt of the United States. He keeps a military force too, between us and the wilder savages, to protect us in the enjoyment of our lands, our hunting grounds, our range, and in the exercise ©four own laws and government. This he will continue to do while wc keep peace and cherish kind feelings towards our white brethren. It would give me much happiness to sec all our Eastern brethren here. The laws of the whites don’t suit them—their game is done—their range has failed. I think I see starvation and misery at their doors. This land belongs to them as well as us. It is the joint property of all Cherokees, let them be where they may. It is their rightful home, where, by recruiting, we can again be a great and powerful nation. 1 hese things I wrote < to your pi incipal Chiefs, Ross and Lowry, early i last winter. I hope they may listen to my invt- tali on and again b© happy.” '1 he old gentleman 1 then lit his pipe, and only spoke when addressed by others. Within the hmi ? sof the northern " iflg of tne Cherokee country, Lee s Creek, Salisaw ri\er, Illinois river. Grand river, arri \ erdigris, have their confluence with tne Arkansas the three latter navigable for steam boats, and the former for small craft. These streams mostly have their rise within the Cherokee territory. In this section of the country there are two salt works carried on extensively by Cherokees, stores* of merchandize in abundance owned by natives, and schools taught by intelligent Che- I rokees, as well us whites. Morality and reli gion, with industry and cleanliness, seem to have taken u deeper hold on the feelings and actions of the Western, than th>-y have on the Eastern Cherokees. —This wing of the nation would afford a settlement for one hundred thou sand whites. There are to be seen occasional ly in passing through it. Prairies varying in length, from one quarter of a mile to six miles : In breadth, from a quarter to on« mile ; some covered with cane, others with shrubbery or i winter an 1 summer grass, interspersed with flowers, beautiful and fragrant, innumerable in variety, surrounding forests affording timber for fencing and firewood for centuries to come, and abounding with wild honey. There is no Ches nut timber nor Poplar in the country, but the I Procon, a nut equally nutritious, is found as a bundantly there in places, as the Cliesnut is here. The Cotton Tree is found there, resem filing very much the Yellow Poplar, and it, as the Poplar here, is regarded as an unerring in dication of good soil. Pine is by no means so j plentiful there as here, but the common growth is Hickory, Ash, Wild Cherry, Sugar Tree, Black At White Walnut, with Dog-wood, Horn beam, Hack berry, Mulberry, and White, Post and Red Oak. In places, numerous vines are to be found, as various in their productions as the best European vineyard. I drank some ve ry pleasant wine manufactured hy Justice, a full blooded Cherokee, out of the wild Grape of the forest. Alberty has a farm on a high moun tain, level as a floor, and rich as the Coosa Wattie bottoms: but all the mountains are not rich. Somo of them are as poor and flinty us they arc in this nation. The bottom lands arc wider and the soil much deeper there thati here. Nearly all the Prairie lands produce w ell. Wa ter is not so scarce as we had understood it to bo, except in the rich low grounds, where it may be found hy digging a short distance. There are, however, good springs to be found occa sionally in the low' lands. In fact, it is pretty much there na it is in other countries, with re gard to water —the mountainous broken coun try affording an abundance of the best, whilst the low lands show but few good spring*. This deficiency can easily be remedied by digging wells—the water found a short distance from the rivers in this way, is generally pure and re freshing. I was in the edge of the Grand Prairie, which commences near the wes'ern line of the north ern wing, with a point opening to the right and left, where hy gazing, the vision becomes bewil dered in its long dis'anco, unobstructed only by isolated clus'ers of trees, following the meanders of small water courses, or by bald mountains which seem to mingle their summit with the sky, as you look westwardly. The Canadian river is navigable for steam boats, and empties itself into the Arkansas on the south side, a considerable distance below the mouth of Illinois river- In this fork lies the residue of the seven millions of acres given by the treaty of 1828. But few families reside there.—'Pliose with whom I conversed, told me they had enjoyed good health, although they mostly used the river water. The Agent, who is a man of sterling integrity, as well as the principal Chief, informs me there is in one body here, three hundred thousand acres, which might beset down as first rate land. I was on this tract, but had not leisure to explore it all. It is exceedingly rich and well timbered, lying im mediately in the forks—here us on the north ern side, w inter and summer range is good and abundant, and game such as deer, bear and tur key, is to be found plentifully in most parts of the nation ; I might say in all except the Lee’s creek settlement. The Buffaloe, Elk and Antelope seldom make inroads upon the Cherokee territory; their range is still westwardly in the great prairies, which are now and then visited by all tribes, where sometimes the hunter, hy taking an ele vated suite, I am credibly informed, may feast his eyes with the sight of game feeding for miles in the valleys, on the adjacent hills, whilst, by changing his position, he may observe in wild disorder, a drove of horses unaccustomed to the haunts of civilized man. When we got ready to leave this country, I found on board of our boat, thirty or forty tons of peltry and furs, the result of Indian indus try. Wc however had to leave our steam boat, not for the want of water, but because of the carelessness or treachery of a Spanish pilot, who run us on a high sand bar, the first evening after leaving the mouth of Grand river; from whence we took our keel, and floating gently down, arrived at the post of Arkansas, ten or twelve days afterwards—a distance of five or six hundred miles by water. As we descended, 1 had time, by taking our skill’, frequently to visit the shore. On the op posite side, four miles above Little Rock, there is a hill which tradition informs us was once oc cupied by the celebrated pirate Lafntc, and his company, and r.orkcd as a silver mine. Dr. Drayton and myself visited the place, and found mineral substances and rock similar to those found in the gold regions here. Dr. Dudley, one of the pupils of that eccentric, but useful sentinel on the watch tower of Liberty, John Randolph, was also in company. Both these gentlemen came passengers on board at Fort Smith. The former informed me he had ex plored the country west, in search of gold and silver ; he shewed some ore, and analyzed it in our presence, which yielded a very large propor tion of silver. He tells me silver and gold arc both to be found, but silver most plentiful, in that region of country.” Your Friend, BENJ. F. CURREY. Dr. David A. Reese, Monticello, Ga. rsoM the Washington globe. J Monied Monopoly making a President. — From an intelligent gentleman wc have re ceived the following brief narrative of the Re volution in Chili. It will be seen that a compa ny ot merchants by moans of a monopoly con. terred upon them by the Government itself, at first established by the people, were enabled to purchase up the soldiery and dictate at the elec tions. It a monopoly of a few rich merchants in the sa.e ot wines, liquors, and tobacco, can tnus £‘ ve law to an American Republic, 1 what may we not apprehend from our overgrown l Institution, commanding the whole currency of our country, and allied with the rich bankers . a*road, whose loans tarnished supplies to Eu- i ropean monarchs, and enabled them to fill the Old Continent with blood! The Bank has begun its work with us, ns Philip of Macedorf sapped the free s|>irit of Greece, bv his golden bribes to the principal orators m the several Republics.— When the vita! power of liberty was partly ex tinguished by this species of corruption, he at last struck the final blow at Chteronea ; and the noblest, most enlightened, and independent race ■of men that adorned antiquity, were made by him, the basest and most servile flatterers, that ever gave adulation to a tyrant: “ The government of Chili, above ail modern republics, had been next to our own in the wis dom of i;s administration, and from this circum stance, butler oil in moral as well as political situation, than anv of them ; but Iron) their long and gallant s' niggle w ith their oppressors was like them all, very poor. Their credit in La rope was exhausted, they were pushed to pro- j vide the means to pav the interest upon what j they had already borrowed, anti had resort to j a contract with a company of opulent merchants ] to provide the money to reduce this “ Holy Alli ance ”of the Spanish General Quintinilla and Indians. The conditions were, that they should be granted a monopoly in the sale of all wines, liquors, and tobacco, and have the power to im» port them how, and when they pleased, free of duty. These merchants cs’ablishcd a principal house at Valparaiso, under the direction of Sr. Portales, appointed agents in every town and hamlet throughout the country, suffered no o. ther persons to sell any of the “ eatnneo ” arti cles, kept none but the most inferior qualities on sale themselves, and charged at least five prices upon all they sold ! ! They evaded all the le gitimate intentions of the law authorizing the contract. Their oppressions upon the people were at length resisted ; the President and Con gross were both opposed to it, but a new elec tion took place, preceded by a revolution, bead ed by a Genera! whose interests they made their own, and whose soldiers they furnished him with the means to satisfy, he openly avowed the “es tanco” cause, their own candidate was elected to the Presidential chair, Portales, their principal director and manager, was made Secretary of Slate and Treasury, and thus was this charter e<l company of merchandize, perhaps, perpetual ed, in direct opposition to the interests and the wishes of the people. In place of bribing sol diers, the Rank of the United States are bribing with equal effect the press —the bulwark of our liberties; and with money capital, and bank note interest, so much more potent, because so much more tangible than wine and tobacco, they are endeavoring to fasten themselves as indelibly upon us. We have this striking example of the actual existence, at this very moment, of a char tered company openly governing the second re public of this continent, elevating their own partner and chief agent to the second office, because they wore, like them, afraid to pro pose him for the first ; enjoying with impunity the profits of their merchandize and the dignity and emoluments of the highest offices of the States. Is not this so perfect a parallel with the workings of the Bank of the United States, that none can mistake it ? Is it not so true that none can deny it ? I am notreompetent to write such an essay as w ill do justice to the sudjeef, and give effect to the circumstance, but as I have been somewhat surprised not to have seen some allusion made to it by yourself or some other of*ll le many and well informed writers upon the pending question, I take the liberty of suggesting, that by one of you much good might be made of it.” FROM THE GLOBE. “ A MILITARY CHIEFTAIN.” At New London, Conn, the following in scription is found on a grave stone ; “On the 30th of Oct. 1781, 4,000 English fell upon this town with fire & sword, 700 Americans defend ed the fort lor a whole clay ; but in the evening, about 4 o’clock, it was taken. The comman der of the besieged delivered up his sword to an Englishman, who immediately stubbed him : all his comrades were put to the sword. A line of powder was then laid from the magazine of the fort to the sea, then to be lighted, thus to blow the fort up into the air. William Hotmax, who lay not far distant, wounded by three strokes of a bayonet in his body, beheld it, and said to one ofhis wounded friends who was still alive “we will endeavor to crawl to this line ; wc will completely wet the powder with our blood : thus will wc, with the little life that remains to us, save the fort and the magazine, and perhaps a few of our comrades, who are only wounded .”— He alone had the strength to accomplish this no ble design. In his thirtieth year he died on the powder which he overflowed with his blood. His friend, and seven of his wounded compan ions, by that means had their lives preserved.” (After this simple narrative, are the following words in large characters;) “ Here rest Wil liam lIOTMAN.” Freemen of America, like the intrepid and fearless Hotman, has your disinterested and pat riotic Chief Magistrate, scattered the train which was laid to accomplish your political degrada tion, and preserved the citadel of your freedom. It is for you to determine whether you will now support your benefactor and preserver, or tamely surrender yourselves the pliant and obsequious slaves of a monied oligarchy. FROM THE NEW.YORK COURIER A ENQUIRER IoTII INST. The Races. —The sport on the Union Course yesterday, exceeded any thing of the kind ever witnessed in the United .States. Purse S6OO, four miles heats—four horses entered, viz. Eiack Maria, Trifle, Lady Relief and Slim. At one o’clock they started off in fine style, Black Maria taking the lead, and winning the heat though closely pushed from the start bv Trifle. Slim merely saved his distance, and tho saddle girth of Lady Relief having broken, her rider aimed only to save his distance, which he did in fine style and came in with his saddle in his hand, in front of him. Bets two to one on Black Maria. On the third mile of tho 2d Heat, Slim broke down and the heat was nobly contested by Black Maria and Trifle, Lady Relief keeping within about two lengths of Trifle, and Black Maria leading. When within the distance pole Lady Relief drew up, and at about two hundred yard's from the Judges stand. Trifle made a desperate push for the heat. His rider whipped briskly and to the astonishment of all overtook Black Maria.—They came in at utmost speed, and the result was pronounced a dead heat. Bets five to three on Trifle. For the third heat Black Maria, Trifle, and Lady Relief started, and it was beautifully con tended for by each of the competitors.' The greatest anxiety prevailed, and at times the horses were so close together that they might have been covered with a blanket. Towards the close of the fourth mile a desperate push was again made by Black Maria and Trifle, and the heat won by trifle by a length. Bets’ two to one on Trifle. At the commencement of the fourth heat La dy Rebel shewed a disposition to contend for it. took the lead and was closely pushed bv Black Maria and Trifle. It was deemed all important that Biiick Marta or Trifle should wiu it, and tho contest was the most bealltitul ever witnessed on the course. Each horse alternately taking Ihe lH and Lady Relief winning it by half a length. Bets even on both Black Maria and Ladv Relief against the field. Thus sixteen miics had been run, each of the horses had won a heat besides one dead heat — of course the next heat was to decide the con test. The three horses started in fine style and contended with undiminished spirit until the sec ond half of the third mile, being the nineteenth mile run, w hen Trifle broke down, leaving Lady Relief ami Black Maria to contend for the purse —Lady Relief leading. Black Maria and Lady Relief now made a desperate struggle for victory and at the commencement of the second quarter of the twentieth mile Black Maria came along : side. Both riders and horses did their utmost — j a breathless silence pervaded the multitude of j spectators —and for three-eighths of a mile the ] two horses were head and head. Black Maria then took the lead and was again hard pushed near the termination of the third-quarter on the straight, ascending part of the course, but with out success, and finally won the heat and purse by about three lengths. Never has there been such a contest or such sport in the U. States, and the horses have won forthemselves high characters. Their excellence of the Eclipse blood, which for bottom stands un rivalled, was fully tested in the contest. Both Black Maria and Lady Relief are Eclipse colts, and exhibited but little fatigue alter performing the twenty miles. Trifle is a beautiful and fleet Southern filly, but want of bottom. She is by Sir Charles, who it will be recollected, was an un successful competitor of Eclipse. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1832. FOR PRESIDENT. ANDREW JACKSOX. VICE-PRESIDENT. 7IARTIX VAN BUR EX. CHEROKEE GRANTS. The Federal Union of the 25th instant, says:—“We learn that apprehensions arc entertained that Grants will not be issued by the Governor for the lands drawn for in the progressing Lotteries. All such fears are without foundation, and must proceed from the Governor’s ene mies. We assure the people, that any man who draws a land or gold Lot, can obtain his grant, so soon as the Clerk’s books arc filled out for the day on which it is drawn. One grant has already been issued.” XORTH*CA ItOLIXA. At a large meeting of the citizens of Rowan County; held in Salisbury, on the 11th inst. resolutions were a dopted against the protective system, and against nullifica. tion, ns having “a direct tendency to disunion and civil war.” SOI'T!I*CAROLINOF THE TIMES. In the Charleston Mercury of the 2Gth instant, a wri ter under the signature of “ Consistency,” addresses the legislature, and inquires whether it would be consistent with nullification, for the electoral votes of South-Caroli na to be given to Gen. Jackson. He then attempts to show that the votes of the slate should not be given to the General. This is done, no doubt, with the view of feeling the public pulse, or of preparing the public mind for the votes South-Carolina would give at the presi dential election. We acknowledge that General Jack son ought to be obnoxious to the nullifiers. But they certainly cannot vote for Mr. Clay. They certainly can. not vote for Mr. Wirt, who, it must be recollected, de dared in his official capacity of Attorney General of the United States, that the law of South-Carolina re specting the introduction into the state of persons of colour, was unconstitutional. To whom then will the vote be given? As a majority of the citizens of that state, would, if they had the choice in their own hands, vote for General Jackson, the majority of the legislature cannot choose electors who will either throw the votes of the state upon some individual not a candidate, or vote for Mr. Clay or Mr. Wirt. General Jackson will re. ccive the votes of South-Carolina. SOUTH-CAROLINA. The bill for calling a Convention has passed the Le gislature. The Convention is to meet at Columbia on the 3d Monday in Novemhernext. On the Monday previous the Delegates are to be chosen. By the sth section of the bill, it is provided that the convention may be continued by adjournment from time to time, for twelve months, unless sooner dissolved by their own authority. There is in this section a power assumed by tho Legislature, which seems to us at vari ance with the supreme power that a Convention of the people necessarily possess. If the Legislature had power to call a Convention, to circumscribe the actions of that convention when assembled, and to fix the time and termination of their session, certainly the Legisla ture had the power to do that which they authorize ano ther body of men to do, which this body of men could not do without such a legislative authority. Either the convention must be the organ.ot the sovereignty of the people, or the organ of the legislative will. If the or gan of the sovereignty of the people, any law of the le gislature which defines their powers and determines the time of their session, will not he regarded by the convention as binding, for the legislature, being the crea ture of the sovereignty of the people, cannot assume a sovereign power over those who gave it a being. The people only being sovereign, can define the actions of a convention of their delegates, by instructing them how to act, and confining them to the consideration of cer tain particular subjects. It is our impression that none but the people, in public meetings, could have authorized the convention to sit for one year, and no longer, and not the legislature, which cannot attribute to itself the sov. crcignty of the collective body of the people. It is our impression also, that the convention, when organized, representing the sovereignty of the people, may pro long their session beyond the time prescribed by the le gislature, unless restricted by the people themselves. And it is moreover our impression, that the acts of a convention, which purely represent the sovereignty of the people, cannot be binding only after those acts have been ratified by a majority of the constituents of that convention. The legislature cannot depart from the specified and defined powers delegated to it by a writ. ten and acknowledged constitution, which the people, in their sovereign capacity, have established for their own government. A convention have no rule of action, no constitution to guide it, except it be the will of their constituents, as expressed in the very act of convoca tion. It the constituents determine on calling a con. vention for a particular object, that convention can act as they think proper upon that particular object, and up. on no other, and their acts must return to the constitu. cn,s for their ratification, before those acts can acquire the character of a supreme law of the land. MAXI PACTf RES IX THE UN ITED STATES. Me stated in a former number of this paper, that it should he the duty of every delegate to the convention whicn is to assemble in November next at Milledgeville, to prepare himself for the important objects which this convention will take into consideration, by obtaining all the information within his reach of the state of pub lic feeling in the manufacturing states. We know that correct statistical information, cannot be easily obtained, but -oose and partial statements. However loose or par tial such statements may be, they may lead to an ap proximation which may answer the object the convention will have in view. In order to ssa.st in the attainment » of proper information, we bars made the following statements, which, if not strictly correct, will at least save a general view of the state of manufactures in the North. . In the State of New. York, according to Williams’ Register, there were on the Ist January, 1832, 203 Incorporated manufacturing companies. 88 Cotton manufactories. 208 Wdollen do. 202 Iron do. Cotton Manufactures.— There were fcS cotton manu factories, which contained on average 1,500 spindles each—total, 132,000 spindles. It is calculated that each spindle will spin 50 lbs. cotton annually, making 6,000,000 lbs of cotton consumed by the manulactories in that state, equal to 22.00 D bales— annual value of cotton goods manufactured, considerably exceeding $3,000,000. Wool. —Value of woollen goods annually manufac tured (exclusive of those made in families) considerably upwards of §3,000,000. Iron. —Value of annual manufacture, §1,000,000. Pap:r. —There were about 50 paper Mills in the state. Value of annual manufacture §500,000. Rats. —Value of annual manufacture §3,000,000. Soots and Shoes. —Value of annual manufacture §5,000,000. Leather. —Value of annual manufacture §2,900,000. Window Glass.—\ alue of annual manufacture §500,000. According to the returns of the stale census, there were manufactured in families, fulled cloths 2,913,233 yards, value §2,918,233. Flannels and other woollens, not fulled, 3,460,000 yards, value §693,000. Linen, cotton, and other cloths, 8,079,992 yards, value $1,211,998. The following is a statement of the manufacturing es tablishments now in operation at Lowfcll, Massachusetts. One establishment, capital §1,500,000, five mills, manufacture ot printed calicoes. Another, capital §BOO,OOO, three mills, manufacture of twilled cotton, pantaloon stuffs, and shirtings. Another, capital §500,000, two mills, manufacture of coarse shirtings and sheetings-. Another, capital §400,000, two mills, manufacture of negro cloths, carpetings, «fcc. Another, capital §450,000, two mills, manufacture of coarse cottons. Another, capital §500,000, two mills, manufacture of cottons. Another, capital §1,200,000, seven mills, manufac ture of printed cottons. And the woollen factory, which manufacture broad cloths, cassimercs, &c. The quantity of coiton manufactured al Lowell, in 1831, is estimated at 20,000 bales. If we can obtain information respecting the other manufacturing establishments in the New-England states, and in the middle states, before the meeting of the con. vention, we shall hasten to lay it before the public. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, As the election for electors of President and Vice- President ia near at hand, and much solicitude ia felt among the people for its issue, wc believe it will not be unacceptable to our readers, to give them n short states ment showing the time for holding such an election in every State of the Union, the mode of choosing the e lectors, the number of electoral voles to which every State is entitled, and the anticipated result in every State, according to the best information we have been able to obtain. In giving this anticipated result, we have not been biassed by the partiality we entertain for General Jackson. Onr calculation is founded upon ac counts we have received from opposite quarters of the public feeling in the several states. Notwithstanding, our statement may prove incorrect; and General Jack eon may not receive as many votes as we allow him ; but the result will show, we sincerely hope, that we were not greatly mistaken in our calculations. Maine is entitled to ten electoral votes. The electors are chosen on the sth November, by general ticket. General Jackson will receive the votes of this state, which has always been essentially democratic. New-Hampshire, or the Granite state, so called on ac count of its uniform adherence and constancy to democt at* ic principles, is entitled to seven electoral votes. The electors are chosen on the sth November, by general ticket. There can be no doubt of the votes of this state being given to General Jackson. Massachusetts is entitled to fourteen electoral votes. The electors are chosen on the sth November, by gene ral ticket. The republican party in this state is in a re spectable minority ; but the majority, under the influence of the Trivmrifale, will chose electors favorable to Mr. Clay, one of the Triumvirs. Rhode-Island is entitled to four electoral votes. The electors are chosen on the 21st November, by general ticket. In this state the two parlies, of the opposition, composed of anti-Masons and Clay men, and Jackson, arc nearly of equal strength. We are irclined to be. lieve that the opposition, or federal party, are in the ma jority. A convention of delegates of the republican par ty is to he held in Providence, on Thursday next, to form an electoral ticket. Though our opinion is that Mr. Clay or Mr. Wirt, will receive the votes of this state, ycl we would not be surprised if it was otherwise. Connecticut is entitled to eight electoral votes. The electors are chosen on the 3d November, by general ticket. The Jackson party is in the minority, but strong and exercising much influence; it has an electoral tick et of its own ; but the votes of the stale will be given to Mr. Clay. It appears, however, from the Clay papers of the state, that great apprehension is entertained of the votes being given to General Jackson. Those papers are filled with appeals to the passions and religious pre judices of the people, and with the grossest abuse of the President, calling him “a monster of passion, ignorance, and inconsistency;” “a despot;” “a tyrant.” The voters of Connecticut are not to be gulled by these abusive and slanderous epithets : they are intelligent and wise ; and they may hare too much virtue and patriotism to vote for Mr. Clay, Vermont is entitled to seven electoral votSs. The electors are chosen on the 13th November, by general ticket. The anti-masons have completely the majority in the state. The electoral votes may be given to Mr. Wirt, the anti-masonic candidate, but as their second choice would be Mr. Clay, it is very probable that in stead of throwing their votes away on their favorite can didate, they will be induced to vote for Mr. Clay. New-York is entitled to forty-two electoral votes. The eleetprs are chosen on the sth, 6th, and 7th November, by general ticket. Notwithstanding the various and con flictmg interests which exist in this state, and the several parties into which it is divided, party organization and discipline is such, that the votes of tho state will cer. tainly be given to Gen. Jackson. New-Jerscy is entitled to eight electoral votes. The electors arc chosen on the sth and 6th November, by general ticket. Though the Jackson party is strong and the General very popular, yet we believe that the votes of the state will be given to Mr. Clay. Pennsylvania is entitled to thirty electoral votes. The electors are chosen on the 2d November, by general ticket. Wc never doubted of the votes of this state. If Ritner had been elected Governor, we would have still depended on the votes of the state for Gen. Jack son by a large majority. Delaware is entitled to three electoral votes. The electors are chosen by the legislature. This little feder al state will give its votes to Mr. Clay. Maryland is entitled to ten electoral votes. The elec, tors are chosen on the 12th November, by districts, and ' arranged in such a manner as to give to a minority of 1 the people tho disposal of seven electoral votes. If the i choice of electors was made by general ticket, General i Jackson would receive the ten votes of the state, where- i as he will receive but three and Mr. Clay seven. I irg.nia ia entitled to twenty.three electoral vrtes. s Ths e]ector« »r« chosen tfu Thursday the fir st X, vember, by general ticket. The Old Dominion, true to her name and pre eminence among the republican state* of the Union, will vote for General Jackson. North-Carolina is entitled to fifteen electoral vote*. The electors are chosen on the Bth November, by fc - 9nc _ ral ticket. No one expects that a state in which Nathan, iel Macon was born, and dwells, can vote for Mr. Clay in preference to General Jackson. South.Carolina is entitled to eleven electoral votes The electors are chosen by the legislature. The nullifi cation party have the sway in the state and in the legi*. lalure. If the leaders dared, they would vote for Mr Clay or Mr. Wirt. But they daro not; the vote* 0 f South-Carolina will not be thrown away; they will be given to General Jackson, but not to Mr. Van Bursn f« r the Vice Presidency. Georgia is entitled to eleven electoral rotes. Thee, lectors are chosen on the sth November, by general tick et. For General Jackson. Kentucky is entitled to fifteen electoral rotes. Th» electors are chosen on the 6th November, by general ticket. This state, true to herself, and to the democra. cy of the country, will again vote for General Jackson Th .re is a charm in the name of Jackson, which will prompt a large majority of the citizens to vote for him. Tennessee is entitled to fifteen electoral votes. The electors are chosen on the sth and Cth November, by general ticket. For Jackson. Ohio is entitled to twenty-one electoral rotes. The electors are chosen on the 2d November, by general ticket This state has been considered doubtful. The result of the late elections for Governor and repregen. talives in Congress, show the votes of the state % y be depended upon for General Jackson. Indiana is entitled to nine electoral votes. The lectors afo chosen on the sth November, by gensrsl ticket. The General is too popular in that state for Mr. Clay to receive her electoral votes. Mississippi is entitled to four electoral votes. Ths electors are chosen on the sth November, by general ticket.

Ths electors are chosen on the 12th November, by general ticket. For General Jackson. Thus we have gone through all the States. AcsorJ. ing to our statement General Jackson will receive 238 votes, and the opposition t>6. A majority of tho rotas is 145, consequently General Jackson will receive 8? votes more than the requisite majority. So that h« could be re-elected without the votes of New. York and Pennsylvania, or without the votes of New-York, Ohio and Kentucky. The election is not doubtful. GOLD AND LAND LOTTERIES, DRAWINGS OF THE 22 J AND 23 d OCTOBER. Gold Lottery. BURKE.

Randal Johnson, Pates, 177 24 3 William gastox, of nortii-carolinl The following is the conclusion of a truly patriotic and eloquent address, delivered before the Philanthropic and Dialectic Societies, at Chapel Hill, June 20,1832, by ths Hon. William Gaston. I would not depress your buoyant spirits wiik gloomy anticipations, but I should be wanting n> frankness, if I did not state my conviction that you will be called to the performance of other duties unusually grave and important. Perils surround you and are imminent, which will rs quire clear heads, pure intentions, and stout hearts, to discern and to overcome. There is no side on which danger may not make its ap proach, but from the wickedness and madness ot factions, it is most menacing. Time was, indeed, when factions contended amongst us with viru lence and fury ; but they were or affected to I#) at issue on questions of principle; now, Americans band together under the names of men, and wear the livery and put on the badges of their leaders. Then, the individuals of different parties were found side by side, dispersed throughout the va rious districts of our confederated Republic; hut now, the parties that distract the land arealmo* identified with our geograpical distinctions- Now, there has come that period, foreseen and dreaded by our Washington, by him “who, more than any other individual, Ibundcd this our wide spreading empire, and gave to our western world independence and freedom”—by him, who with a father s warning voice, bade us beware of “parties founded on geographical discrimina tions. As yet, the sentiment so deeply planted in the hearts of our honest yeomanry, that union is strength, has not been uprooted. As yet, they acknowledge the truth, and feel the force of the homely, but excellent aphorism, “ United stand, divided we fall.” As yet, they take prtd*
