The following is a copy of tlte Letter from Mr.
Cl at, read in the Harrisburg Convention on tlte
4 th inst.
Ashland, November 20,1830.
Gentleukn: The public use which has been
made of my name, in connexion witli tho ofiicc of
President of tlte United States, furnishes tho mo
tive, os 1 trust it will form tho apology, for Uiis
note. I address it to you, because our common
residence in the same'State appears to me to ren
der you tho most appropriate repository and or
gan of what 1 wish uow to say.
The Convention at 1 lar rUlmrg to designate
candidates of the Opposition to the present Fed
eral Administration, for the offices of Fresidci|t
and Vice-President of tho United Slates, has
liecn recommended, and tho propriety of it has
been generally concurred in by nil who ogree as
to the necessity of a chaugo itt the General Ad
ministration. It appeared to tnc to bo the best, if
not tho only practicable method of reconciling and
uniting those who, coinciding in tho general prin
ciple, entertuined different views as to the most
suitable candidates for those high officer, and I
have accordingly frequently cxprciccd, and now
repeat tha expression ofjny conviction oftlie ex
pediency of an entire and cordial acquiescence in
the recommendation* of tho Convcntiou.
Kn the mean time, appeal* directly and indirect
ly have been made to'me hy a highly respectable
Convention balden in Pennsylvania, aud by pri
vate individuals, to decline giving my coment to
(be use of my name, upon the ground that a dis
tinguished citizau of the Slate of Ohio is the first
choice of the Opposition in Pennsylvania, and in
tho opinion of tlmt Convention would he inoro
likely to conciliate general support than I should.
I have, boon also addressed by various respectable
and intelligent citizens of New-York, directly and
indirectly, recommending mo to decline tho con
test in behalf of another emi.icnt citizen, who
ha* been distinguished in both the military and
civil service of tho United Stales.
Whilst l have beau thus urgently but respect-
flilly approached, numerous private citizens and
public meetings and convictions in Various parts
of the United State* (one of these conventions,
indeed, in Pennsylvania itself) have done pic the
honor to express their confidence in me, and to
intimate their wishes that I.might be tho candidate
of the Opposition for the office of Chief Magis
trate.
It is perfectly manifest tint I cannot comply
with all these conflicting opinions aud wishes,
nor I apprehend, with any oue of them, without
disobliging the others.
Under these nnihitrrasing circumstances, I hare
thought it most advisable to leave tu tho Couvcn-
tion at Hurristrarg the freo selection of Candidates
its being tho assembly to which, by common con-
sent, that important duty has boon referred Re
presenting, os it probably will, all parts of tho U-
nited States, bringing together the . feelings and
views of all, aud comparing and weighing the lo
cal information which it will derive from every
portion, it will be most competent to mako a no
mination acceptable to the great majority of its
constituents. That' it will ho feithfid to the Itigh
trust coulidod to its judginoutimd patriotism, can
not bo doubted; und having a full view of the
whole ground, it will bo more likely to make a
selection agreeable to the groat body of the Oppo
sition than any separate convention could c|«,
however enlightened and patriotic it may be. If
tho Pennsylvania Convention, Vo Which I have
just alluded, be right in supposing Hint the distin
guished citizen whom it prefers would bo more
successful than any other, he ought to bo nomina
ted, and undoubtedly, for that reason, will lie no.
initiated by the Harrisburg Convention, should it
entertain (lie same opinion.

THE PATUOON DIFFICUf.TIES.
The > Now-York Courier Sf Kaqnirer of the 12th
inst. says—* 4 Wo aro happy to learn by the steam
boat from Albany, arrived this morning, that no
eolfisiou had taken place between the misguided
individuals on tho Rcn.<*alacr .Manor, and the
troop* sent out to enforce legal process. The
volunteer corps have returned to tho city. The
proclamation of the Governor had been attended
with the best effect, and the delegation from the
people of the Mtuior to him had arrivod in Albany,
for (hi purpose of settling the to run of their sub
mission. No doubt existej in Albany, Hint tl.e
whole affair would be adjusted without any ex-
trafrdtniry intervention.”
ID* The New-York Commercial Adeertber
/>f the 10th inst. siy*—“ Thcro was a report in
circulation thu morning, that the packet ship
IVU tic 'Lyons, from Havre, had put into Cork,
dismasted. After making inquiries iu the proper
qnarter, we found that the story originated u*
follow*Tho captain of tho steam ship Liver,
pool, hearing some remarks made about Hie non-
arrival of the Vittc de Lyons, stated that on tho
morning he left Liverpool, he heard a rumor that
a Havre packet had put into Cork in distress, dis-
manted, and bowsprit carried away.”
Since tho above Was in type, we have received
the following:
THE VfLLE DE LYONS SAFE.'
The British schooner Junr, Capt. Pcaiui lx, 15

felt for this long absent ship, is most happily re
lieved. The passengers were all in good health,
and hospitably troated by the inhabitant*. Tho ac
count Hint she had knocked off her flilse keel, 011
going into Hie port, is, we aro informed, untrue.
She will, os soon a* possible, resume her voyage

against Hie action of the body:
We, the undersigned Ueprcsentntives of the

forbidden by law to go into tho consideration of

“Havana,Dec. 7—During the preceding month

FROM T1IE CHEROKEE COUNTRY.
St. Liuib, Nov. 30.
A detachment of two hundred aiul fifty men of
tho 1 st regiment ofdmgoou*,undor tho command
ofColojicT S. W. Koartiey, have just returned to
Foil Leavenworth from a march from that purl
along the .Missouri frontier,and into Hie Cherokee
country as far as Fort Wayne, on U10 iUiuois river
near Fort Gibson.
This movement was made in consequent of
intelligence contained in a letter IVom General
Ai buckle to the Hon. A Yell, of Arkansas, dated
September 28, and* published in tho Arkansas
Gazette, wlficli intimated strongly that difficulty
was brewing ill that quarter between in that quar
ter between the Cherokee* and the military force
under tho General; and that tha Cherokee*, or
tho Ross party of them, would remt with force
any attempt on the part of tho military to exe
cute a recent order from Hie Secretary of War
to Gen. Arbuckle to ai rest tho murderers of the
Kidges and Uoudinot. On seeing this loUor,
Colonel Kenruey determined nt once to march an
effective force along tlm Arkansas honlcr, to pre
vent, in case of difficulty, any collision or com
bination ofthe Chsrokce* with tho Indians along
the Missouri frontior, which had keen cutru dea
to his charge nnd defence. On rcnchiug Spring
River, near the Arkansas Hue, lie learned, from
various reports, that tho Cherokccs were unking
preparation* to fight, which influenced him to
penetrate their country as he did.
On reaching Fort Wayne, he teamed,
from authority to he relied on, that tho
report* of intended hostilities on tho part
of the Cherokee* trcrc utterly groundless', that
the whole country teas entirely quit; that a na•
donut irortritA the United States it us not thought of
lyjhe Indians} and that no resistance to the arre t
ofthe murderers of Boudinot andftlie R'dge* need
ho anticipated, beyond that which might bo made
by the murderer* themselves individually. A force
of sixty men from tho (bur companies of dragoons
vlntioiied at Fort Wayne' had been ordered by
General Arbuckle to search Hirough the Cherokee
nation for the murderers, hut it was not uiticii
expected that they would bo found; there being
a strong party ol tbo nation in their favor, and
interested to couceal them or assist them to es
cape.
Tho command remained three days at Fort
Wayne* daring which Colonel Kearney corres
ponded with General Arbuckle, nt Foil Gibson,
distant sixty miles, by express. lie then marched
his command back to Fort Leavenworth, ia proper
station,where he arrived on the 20th instant having
been abseut twenty-four days, and performing the
march backiu nine days—a distance of nenr three
hundred miles. The troops and horses iu Hue
condition.—Republican.

A Man Buried in a Coal Mine.—The coal mine

A miner, who was at work at Uu> time, was en

also began to dig in towards him. The earth to
bo romnved was thirty or forty foot in extent—-but
tho caving, as it afterwards appeared, did not c\-
tend so for n* to prevent Hie Ire0 working of the
milter. Of course, the utmost anxiety was felt
for his fate, which was much increas ed hy the
earth again, fulling in at the veiy moment lie
had been reached by those on tlte outside. The
earth npw fell ull around him, leaving him hardly

A NOVEL CASE-
The New York Dispatch monti on* n novel
case as having occurred before Judge Schicfllin,
of the Marino Court.
A Chinese tnmod Aryouk was introduced as
a witness in »anitbrought by the steward of the
brig S. B. Lamar, agaiiut the capt tin of thut
vessel, for wages. Defendant’s cnuiuel objected
to the swearing of Hie Chmesee, n* he was not
a Christian. After snmo discussion, defendant
adjourned the suit to take out a commission for
obtaining foreign testimony, when plaintiff sconn-
scl moved Aryouk’* examination debens cssn, and
produced the Bible ofContucius, stamped hy im
perial nuthority, upon which it was proposed lie

A Mtrlman's Frolic.—.Michael ICeljy, in Ills
‘‘Dramatic Recollotioiw.” relaUM, with great ef
fect, a story that Mra. Mattocks, the notre**, told
him. She went to Badtmn with aomo friends,
nnd tho keeper pointing to one cell which tliny
had not seen, told, “Here'll ope in hero who is
t ierfectlv quiet so long a* you don’t contradict
liin. Mind, I say if you don't contradict liiui.”
Accordingly they entered tho roll, and w*w a pale
faced melancholy looking man, with dark eyes,
whVliludu penetrating brightness peculiar to
madmen- IIo was in deep thought a* they en
tered. The party having satisfied Hirlr curiosity,
were about retiring, Avhon, said Mrs. Matlocks,
lie seized mu hy the wrist, shutting tho door and
placing bis back against it, and held mo in his
firm gm*p.
44 Well,young woman,” said ho, “you’re in
a comical siuratioti here, shut in with u mad
man.”
“Sir,” said I.
“But you need'nt Iso alarmed—jyon am perfect
ly safe ; they told yon I was liarmTe**. cJid'nt they?
Yon necd’iit ans.vor. Aro yon loud ofdmwiug?
I know you are. What is* iUisf ho toil tdcd,
holding up u hitof paper.
“A ship,” said I.
44 A ship, is it.’ You cull my treo a sliip Co
yonV
,‘Ves, yes,” said I, “it i*n ship.”
l4 Oh, und pray what U this?”
Obliged to say something, nnd not kunwiug
what ho thought it was, I uunvered “A house/
which it was.
“A house, oh!” So saying, he ptdlnj n clasp
knife from his pocket, and opening it with h's
teeth, at the same time swinging u»o round the
cell with his huge arm, said, “Now, is'Ua house
or not/”
“It is, it is.”
“Then I'll tell yon what it i* then—Hits is a
clolnliiq.”
Then holding up hi* knife nnd gnashing hi*
teeth, 4, Cun you tell mo what tills is, and no mis-
lake 7”
“A knife,” I answered.
adjourned!
