Taairr Convention;—Wo find the following
among tho proceedings of this body on Monday
31st, ult.
A momber from Albany county (Mr. French)
.presented to tho consideration of the Convention,
a resolution proposing to'apply a certain por
tion of the public duties, arising from Tariffs,
to assist the Southern Status in manufacturing
Slaves into Fret mgn.
There was a strong famcdiato and universal
expression of disapprobation of tho idea contain
ed in the resolution. So soon as a hearing
could bo obtained, Mr. Ingersol of Philadelphia
addressed the chair with great carnostuess and
sensibility,' and deprecated in the most impas
sioned language tho adoption of any such meas
ure. Were the convention, said he, to pass such
a resolution, tho object of tboir assembling would
be not only vain but worse than vain. Ho hoped
that tho sense of tho Convention would be ex
pressed by; a strong negative vote. They had
no right, and no business to interfere, with the
Southern States in' the all absorbing matter of
Slave population.
The mover .here, withdrew the resolution, and
the scene ended

Counterfeits.—'Two instances have lately oc

of the FIVE dollar note, letter B. payable to E
Hamilton, and dated, 1st May, 1829. Tho fil

havo been engraved, and not done with a pen;

consented to become a candidate to supply tho
vacancy in Congress occasioned by tho resigna

doubt not, from his extonsivo and well deserved
popularity and the strong manifestations in favor
of the nomination that he will be elected by a very
jarge majority.—Judge Crayton has been nom
inated in opposition to him, by the Crawford
party, aud that, too, immediately after ho (Judge
Clayton) had been caucussed down and defeat

Western Circuit; and after voluutarily nnd gra-

he would conseut to become a candidate, aud
declaring that he himself, would not become a
candidate, nor consent to bo used by his party
in that wav, he has accepted the nomination!.'.’—
