On Monday next you will be called on to elert yftoper perl’on's to reprelent you in the City Council.

These circumstances mull ope- ! rate against the democratic interoil Re publicans, you are too careless, too negligent ; whilst you fee your political opponents making use cf every po(Hole means to fill the legillature of your city with men of their own choke, a number of the moll refpedlrtble Republican ci tizens—citizens cllcemcd by all parties are to tally unconcerned, regafdlels of the coni'equen ces of being governed by an entire arillociatical: board.—Permit me to conjure you to step for- | ward and evince to your fellow-citizens that j you still hold in veneration those principles by which our worthies of’76 were actuated...tl.j principles that bough: at the price of blood-lhed & devolution,thegloriousindependenceof which you now boast, and in the enjoyment of which you are the happitil people on earth. Do not, Republicans, oppose each other ; where there is one democratic ctiadidate, a good man, let not another of equal worth rival him, so as to di vide their interests and permit a fed to creep in between them. Without arrangements dif feient from thole already made, I am really fearful this will be the case. A VOTER. 1 THE CHOPS. A gentleman who ha> lately returned from a tour through the upptr and middle parts cl this Hate, informs, that there is the faired prospect of rich and abundant crops this season, that has been for many years pad... The corn looks beautiful in every county that he pallid through, and the cotton plants bore the appear ance of health and vigor, and if the season Ihould continue equall) favorable as heretofore, the planters may flattir theinfelves with an unusual abundance of this valuable article... We underliand that the rains which have laded so long and heavy in Richmond and the lower parts of the date, greatly endanger the prof perts which were flatteritc before; but we are gladtolearn that the lealoh has not been so wet in other parts of Georgia. [Augurta Chron. We learn by the brig Resolution, from Trinidad, that a few days before file failed Ad miral Cochrane dispatched his foil in the Ja son frigate, with the f lying l-'ifh tender, to cruise for Miranda off the coast of Barcelona and Cairac-s, and to give him assurance that every assistance in the power of the Britilh squadron should be given to forward the suc cess of his enterpriie. The Flying Fifti had returned to Trini dad, and the Lilly sloop of war had been lent to replace her. No intelligence by the tender had tranfpireu ; but the prompt failing ot the Lilly gave rife to much speculative opinion.... No account had reached Trinidad of the cap ture of Miranda’s two schooners. A report prevaikd that the armourers employed at Cumana by the Spanilh govern ment had been apprehended and executed on a charge of having rendered unfit for service the muskets that had been entrulltd to them to re pair. [N. York paper.] From several parts of this state we have accounts of the ravages committed by a worm, generally called the armv worm. We have heard of many fields of wheat, rye and corn, which have been almost totally cut down by this dellrudlive worm. Lexington (ICen.) paper. A correspondent having obffrved the publication of an experiment to Hop the pro gress of caterpillars, by means of plaifter of Paris, submits to the public the following fart, which occured within his own knowl edge a bout thirty years ago. A v.heat field at the mouth of Patuxent river was attacked by fiich quantities of caterpillars, just, when in full head, that alter a few days few heads remainded un injured in fome degree; when it was observed that the caterpillars daily left and returned to the field. This regular marching and counter marching suggested an attempt to defiroy them on tlieir passage to and fro, by marking them with beaters in a finall trench cut round the field,about afpade in depth, and a, broad as a narrow lpade at top, but rather wider at bot tom, in order to retain them longer in the trench. It appeared evident that if the above experiment had been made ori the firft attack o.‘ the caterpillars, very confiderxble damage mult have been prevented, as such numbers were quickly destroyed as to insert the air similar to carrion. No bad efferts are recollected to have attended the putrid state of the air. Nearly about the fame time, a timothy mtdow, just heading, was attacked, and was immediately mowed.
