Rumour with her hundred tongues is busy in
iticip a, ' n 3 the names of those persons wjth whom
tneral Jackson will sharMhe loaves and fishes of
Heroiuentarpatronage, when he gets into the
residential chair. It would take more time, than
i. present have to spare, to enumerate all the
{dividual* who are held np before the eyes of the
resident elect, for the purpose of securing some
nag birth under bis patronage. Almost every
tan who has favored his electio'a, no matter how
(significant his services, seems to think himself en.
tied to he rewarded for his disinterested patriot,
im and zeal in securing the old hero’s election,
[’here are so many hungry wolves in waiting, that
, fear his Excellency will be so unfortunate as to
(fend some at loast of those warm and disinterested^
rends who have gone the “whole hog," not by the

[ew. Jackson, bnt to provide a comfortable birth

a certain colony in these-United States, when it

Lrsob who should refuse ta accept of an office to

ftlie practicability of cultivating the Sugar Cane,

lady market for Sugar, and the low price of our

Lorenzo Dow.—This strauge, eccentric, and
talented individual, has been with us the last
two or three weeks, and hns discoursed to very
large, respectable, and attentive audiences.—
Mr. Dow, as a theologian and a controversalist,
has but few if any superiors, and had he been
ambitious of the honors and regalia of (lie
church, and had devoted himself to the propa
gation of Sectarian principles, might have-held
a rank among the most celebrated Divines of
tho Union. •
Mr. Dew, is a man of extraordinary powers;
a ve tt of rich and.rate sarcasm and reproach,
per' ad s his discourses, but he is too independ
ent to catch the admiration of those purse-proud
aristocrats, who despise every thing like repub
lican simplicity, and pin theii faith on .the snr.
pliceof the members of an nristocratical church
militant. One night the last week, he was re
quested to preach mono of the tabernacles situ
ated at the north end of the town, and of course
expected to be placed in a part, of the house,
whero he could edify the multitude; but the
mumbers of the church, supposed that but few
would attend his ministrations, placed hint in
tho vestry, or ns Lorenzo called the place, “the
cellar kitchen." Indigpint, that, an insult
should be given him, and finding that by reason
of the immensity ofthe crowd, he could hot
have.. hearing, he opened one of tho windows,
and thrusting his head in, addressed the multi-
tiiide trom without, in a strain of invective and
■Brcasm, which made the turbulent stare and
ttie profligate tremble. His addtess was very
concise and severe, mid did not afford many
compliments'to the ladies, many of whom re
tired sadly chagrined and disappointed.
Lorenzo, has often varied his creed, nnd at
this moment, advocates tho doctrine of univer
sal religion.; and after a series of years in tlie
service of 'lie pulpit, arrived at the couclusion,
that natural religion is the only correct doctrine.

They h ive returned from that expedinn, and
arrived in this place on Saturd.-y tho 17<h inst.
and left here on the Monday following for tho
Creek nation. Mr, B-. gives a very favorable-
account of the 'country; and bethinks that if
proper measures are adopted by the General
Government, the whole nation can speedily bo
removed. A deputation of tlie Choctaws and
-Chickaraws accompanied them, who have also
returned. Tlie Chickasaws were not so well
pleased wi:h their prospects, as a misunderstand
ing had arisen about their lands, they being
claimed by both tht Creeks and Cherokees in
ihat country. Ilf infoim< us, that Col. Brear-

who accompanied Mr. Blake, who appeared
pleased with the prospect* held out them ; and
they say they will use their utmost influence to

speak in high terms of Col. Brkari.ev, who
they say, treated them kindly. When they ar
rived at tlie Agency ofthe Cieeks, they met
their ofd acquaintance Chilly McIntosh, with
whom they hud formerly been at variance.—
They were glad to st/e each other: and the
diffeiences which existed’between them were
reconciled by Col, Brcarley nnd Mr. Blake.
From tlte representations thus made—the

that in the course'of twitr years the geograpliic
