any living being, claim for me the honor of
either sub deputy or vice Goverma oftlieHt iti

corum be supposed insufficient to restrain mi
from *o silly a procedure, I am nevertheless

far as it relates to myself, or so far a* it
be supposed to affect others, but mainly for the
purpose of apprising von, by way of showing
particular respect for you, that the public

those of them who arc carried to some
places, are telensed for the purpose of I

notwithstanding all the accessions from I
foreign importation there has been
declension of 1 D.000 souls —a fact vvhic!
must sound an audible appeal to the hu
manity of the hardest heart.”
Of the extent to which illicit intro-1
ductions into the United Statrsare car
ried, tho letteis of our custom-house |
officers afford melancholy proof. Then
testimony is con fumed by that nf Mr
Middleton of South Carolinn, late
member of (hnig.ress, and now one of I paratively helpless band,
uir public. Ministers abroad, who, five I
years ago declared Ids belief, that not
less than IB.000 Afiicans were annually I
smuggled into the United States! Mr. I
Johnson, member of Congress from
Louisiana, declared last session, that I
numerous instances had more recently
occurred of illicit'introductions into that I
state. On tho mischiefs resulting to I
utry, from tho increase of this I
class of persons, the managers will not I
enlarge: they arc seen, and felt, and |
lamented bv the great mass of our peo
ple. In tin*, as in other instances, and I
other countries, a policy acknowledged
to he correct, even by those who violate
it, is counteracted by the daring and tin-1
principled adventurer, and the thought

slave-trade is carried on. “ Kioto two!

The exertions nf tire British and

our colony. In this state of things, the
natives led the necessity of pursuing a
legitimate, commerce, for the supply ol
those foreign productions tu which they
am inunodi ntalv attached. There is
ground to hope that the powers of Chris
tendom will concur with the United
State*, iu denouncing the African slave
trade as piracy. S .mild tltis hope be
disappointed, it will at once be appa

from the experience at the establishment
of M. de Felleithergli, at llaTvvyl, in

an institution might at least defray its own

There is ground to believe, from the

Note.— Since the adoption of the

been brought from the coast of Africa.
It lias been said that the sixty colonists
who went out in the Oswego had all died;
that the castle erected by napt Spence,
for the defence of our colony, had been
overset by a tornado , Ur. Ur. The la
test intelligence shows these accounts to
he unfounded ; and a letter just received
from the agent of the Parent Society, in

From the National Intelligencer.
The United Stales amt Great llritain.
We have received, from a friend, the
Liverpool (.'ouricr of the 27th August
containing an account of a Grand Dm
tier given by the Mayot, in tho Town
II ill, to Mr. Canning, Mr. Iluskisson,
Lord Wnr. Bcnlick, Mr. Hughes, (our
Charge dcs Affaires in Sweden) and
j about eighty oilier gentlemen, on the
25th of August. From that account we
make the following vety interesting cx-
| tract:
Mr.Canmno said, that,.with the kind
permission of tho Chair, lie lose to pro
pose a toast, which, he felt confident
would he received by the company with
| the most sincere and cordial satisfaction
He alluded to the health of the distin-
I guislied stranger then near him, who w as
on his way to Sweden, as the represen
tative of his country, the United States
| nf America. Hewusmost I tippy to avail
himself of this opportunity, amidst so
large an assemblage of some of the first
merchants of England, of congratula
ting that gentleman on the full and unin
terrupsed intercourse which now existrt
between his country and our own: an
intercourse, of which the value could he
no where so well understood as in thi
great town, which was, both in point of
local situation and of spirit ami enter
prise, so pre-eminently duali/ied to de-
rive from that intercourse every possibl
I advantage. On such an occasion, he
might be permitted to express titer grati
fieation which he felt, in common with
I the great mass of the intelligent and lib
| eral men of both countries, to see t!
animosities necessarily attendant on
slate of hostility so rapidly wearing away
giving piace to feelings so much
more consonant to the tiue interests
two nations united by a common lan
gunge, a common spiiit of commercial
j enterprise, and a common regard for well
' regulate.) liberty. It appeared to him.
that of two such States the relative post
lion was not wholly unlike that which oc
.,1 States| casionally occurcd in families; where,
shall judge best; at the exertions of the
African institution of Great Britain, con
taining many of her most considerable I
personages ; and at the co- peraiion of I
lislingnislicd men all over chiislendoin,
m tho cause of Africa, regardless of nr
lionel religions, political and local jeal-I
ousies, authorizing the hope expressed
by the Parent Society, “that the coali
tion of all Christian powers against the At-1
lican slave-trade, will prove the coni
menccment of an indissoluble union, I
which shall fix and perpetuate the pence cl
the world.” The efficient a-ul persevei icg
exertions of the Brilisll government, lor [
tho suppression of the trade, canmtf bi
overlooked; nor can a ntizen of the I
United States forbear to exult at the Ii nr-1
ourabie distinction enjoyed by his coun
try iu leading the way in this great I
mirk ; nor yet can a citizen of the South
forget that Southern representatives I
nave ever been among the foremost to)
adopt efficient measures for the supprei
sum. The government of the United I
States prohibited tho trade as soon as ii I
had the constitutional power to do so, and I
by a succession of laws increasing in se
verity, three years ago denounced against I
it the punishment of death ; and, at tire j
last session of Congress, on the motion I
ot a distinguished representative from
the Sotiili, tiro House of Kepresenta-
tives adopted a resolution (yeas 1 SI, I
ifli ctual abolition of toe African slave-1
trade, and its ultimate denunciation a*
piracy, by.tlte law ol nations. From the
• ire umstances under which this rcsolu- [
tmti was adopted, it is probable an
rangcuienl may ho entered into atunns
| child having, perhaps, displeased a pa
rent—a daughter, for instance, in con
| iraiding a connexion offensive to that
parent’s feelings, some estrangement
would for a while nccessaiily ensue; hut
| alter a lapse of limn, the irritation is for
gotten, the force of blood again prevail
and the daughter and tiie mother stand
together against the world. That all
causes of dissension may have now teas
cd for ever between trvo countries so
strongly hound to each other, and with
so clear a community of interests, he
most sincerely hoped ; and ho trusted
that, in whatever part of the
HtriiiiKS might represent his country,
would feel that ill no part of it could that
country’s merits bo more truly npprecia
ted than in this.
The toast was drnnk with marked ap
plause,andMr. Huoiiesreturned thanks
in nearly the following terms:
“Mr. Mayor and gentlemen:—I shall
not presume to take up more of your

of inantaining the iiappy footing of peace

a basis more soli J and more sure, per-
ibcu from the common and fatal errei ol

of putting an end to tiiat unnatural and
cruel struggle, and of restoring the two

Voters of Montgomery County :
Last fall I was a candidate for the
election, and l wished to be elcUed, but
you would not give ear to nsy eounse
and denied me ; I say do you uoderstai
that ? I say the fact is, come to me and 1
will tell you. Last year there was wolves
in sheeps clothing, which got your - tes
but (say the fact is, beware of them again
for if you trust them you are deceived;
I say, do you understand that? Oi.i ol
little matters great tilings gro ss—-and if
you will elect your old friend i.d -,c-
qtiaintance, !.e will tell yon of ll.e sheep
skin, and leave the wolf exposed. But
tiie fact is, if yon wiii elect me, I will
prevent the property of all persons in
debt from being sold, or if sold, they shall
be sold at a fair valuation, nr one fourth
less; I say, do you understand that? no
gangers in trade, hut the fair thing the
pretty tiling, and if that is clear, weshall
have less black stripes among us. I will
shew that the crime of poverty deserve*
neither bonds nor chains—earnestly whilst
the fatal blow is daily expected. Isay,
do vou understand that?
N. B. I say—the fact is, I'm for the
Assjmbdv this year, and tlto next year
