lUt-I-i SATUBDA Y MORXIftG, AUGUST 16, 1828. Whatever the Caucus may decree at Athens, vstt hope the people will so far regard their inter ests and their rights, as to support such candidates £>r Congress as will support the Union of the States and the Federal Constitution. We hope that no disciple of the Walterborough School will receive the vote of this State. Among the candi dates before the public, there are at least seven to whom the people can safely confide their interests. It is at such times of party excitement, when the institutions of our country are threatened, that the people should call to their councils the wise, the prudent, the dispassionate, and the patriotic* There has usually been too little interest felt in the subject of the Congressional elections, and the consequence is, that men wholly unqualified for the station have frequently been elected by the vote of less than one-fifth of the whole number. — On the present occasion, when our vital interests are at stake, and the happiness and welfare of the ■nation may depend upon the deliberations of the next Congress —when we have such men before us kb M ayne and Cuthbert, and C harlton and Brailsford.to whom we may give our support,in pre ference to men of such disorganizing principles as Gilmer and Haynes,—can the people of this sec tion of the State be backward or indifferent ? Those who oppose the 7 ariff, and threaten a dissolution of the Union in consequence of it, call themselves democrats of tbe Jefferson school! Yet the great & patriotic Jefferson, icas the father of the protective system! Those who are trying to effect a dissolution of the Union, call the Tariff a northern, a yankee measure, and endeavor to ren der it odious to the people on that very account. — Yet a reference to the past history of our country will show, that the principles of the AmericanSys tem originated in the South; were supported by Washington .Jefferson, Madison,Monroe.Lowndes, Calhoun, and even by many of those very names among us who now, for party purposes, are its bit ter opponents. i Louisiana. —From the result of the late elections in this State, it appears altogether probable that the Administration will receive the entire support of Louisiana. Two out of the three members elect to Congress, are friendly to Mr. Adams, and one the advocate of General Jackson. For Governor there were four candidates run ; two friendly to Mr. Adams, and two in favor of Gen. Jackson.— From the two highest candidates the Legislature select the Governor. A majority of the members elect in both branches are understood to be friend ly to Mr. Adams. There can be no doubt, we think, that General Jackson has lost much ground, not only in Louis iana, but in most of the Western States. We at tribute this mainly to the intemperate zeal and im prudent violence of his friends. The people may have full confidence in the integrity and ta lents of Gen. Jackson, and yet, at the same time, be unwilling to see other great and good men fall a sacrifice to the malevolence of his partizans.— They may feel grateful for the splendid services of the Hero, and yet not be willing to see the in stitutions of their country prostrated by the am. bitioue projects of his intemperate friends. There are many who entertain the most friendly feelings towards General Jackson, and yet who feel them selves constrained, by a sense of duty, to yield their hearty support to the Administration, from the consideration of the unwarrantable course pursued by the opposition. SUMMARY. The President of the United States was expect ed at Baltimore on the evening of the sth inst. on his way to Massachusetts. Gen. Scott passed through Columbus, Ohio, about the 20th ult. on his way to his post at Cincin nati. Mr. G. C. Cooper, of the United States’ Navy, bearer of Despatches from our Minister at Paris, came passenger in the packet ship Edwaid Ques nel, arrived at New York from Havre. We learn (says the Baltimore Patriot) that cap tain Henry E. Ballard has been apointed and ta ken command of the Baltimore Naval Station, in place of capt Henley, transferred to Portsmouth, N. H. By the Kentucky reports, we learn that Mr. Clay arrived at Lexington on the 2d July, and was escorted into that town by about 700 of his fellow citizens on horseback and in carriages. He was received with the warmest demonstrations of re spect and admiration. A large and respectable meeting of the friends of the Administration ot the General Government in Philadelphia county, was held on Saturday, the 2d instant, at James Hills’ tavern, in Sixth, above Callowhill street. The number present is vari ously estimated at from 500 to 700. This, in a county which has hitherto been considered so de cidedly favorable to Gen. Jackson, is a most fa vorable indication of the rapid change in public isLthat Stale- . * hundred dollars have been bro’t int this town (says tne Camden Journal of the 9th met.) within the last two months, from Ches terfield ; and the Kershaw Mines are beginning to produce gold in some quantity. We have also heard similar accounts from Lancaster. A man in Walpole, N. H. had been sick with a fever—the physicians, by usual prescriptions, had so far removed the disease, that the patient went about his work ; still a debility and slight cough were perceptible, and his friends recommended him to apply to a notorious quack, to finish the work which the regular physician had begun.— Some lobelia was prescribed and taken—and the man died under its operation. Great excitement prevails in the village—none in the body of the victim of Quackery. NiwTcm, August 2.—A fire broke out yes terday at the Starch house near St. Mark’s church, at about 2 o'clock, but was speedily extinguished by the exertions of the firemen. Two vagabonds were committed to Bridewell shortly after, on sus picion of .having been tbe incendiaries. Astronomy.-— The planet Mars, now making such a splendid appearance in our neighborhood, is at this time 190 millions of miles nearer to our Earth than at other periods—that is, he is nearer by the whole diameter of the Earth’s orbit. Colombia. —The brig Tampico, capt. Fish, ar rived here last evening from Carthagena. She bisrigs a verbal report that the convention at Oca na had dissolved, and that Bolivar had been de clared Cccnmander-ifl-Cbief. \ ten by Mr Henry French, of Marblehead, Mid %iipman on board the U. S. ship Delaware, on he; late passage to the Mediteranean station, having Prince Lucien Bonoparto and family on board, to be landed at Leghorn. “Aupl B.—We are now between the Island of Carsica and Gorgona, and in sight ot the celebra ted Island of Elba, the residence, for a short time of Napoleon. It is a h;gii land and appeared ste rile. Napoleon escaped from the Island of Gorgo na in an open boat, and crossed over to the main land of Italy. This Island is about thirty miles from the main land, and it is generally very calm here ; there is no danger at all in crossing. I for got to mention a very singular circumstance which occurred at Algesiras the evening we land ed there. About an hour after we anchored, a sa lute of 13 guns was fired from the castle. 7’he next morning, when we went on shore, we enquir ed whether it was intended for us, and found that it was not. Bonaparte then went up to Lieut. Byrnes, the officer who went ashore, and inquired what the salute was for. It happened to be the anniversary of the overthrow’ of Napoleon’s gov ernment in Spain, which is celebrated by the Spa niards in the same manner as the 4th of July by us. When the Prince heard this, he shook his head and exclaimed, “Poor Devils, they do not know what they lost when they lost nim.”— Gaz. New York, August 6. fires. —There were two alarms of fire last night. The first fire broke out at about 9 o’ clock in the evening, in the large bookstore and paper ware house of Mr. John Montgomery, Jun. on the cor ner of Greenwich and Fulton streets. The fire was not discovered until the ilames burst furiously out of the windows of the second story. The en gines began soon to collect; but the fire had made such progress before it was discovered, and it having reached the attick, it was found impossible to save that building, or much of the property.— , The flames communicated to the adjoining three | story brick store, occupied by Mr. John I Spies, druggist,the interior of which, with the principal parf°ofits contents were also destroyed. 77ie North River Bank, adjoined the latter building, v r as in great danger, but sustained no damage of consequence. 7'he adjoining house in Fulton street, was part of wood, but by exertions of the firemen, it was saved. We never saw a fire burn more fiercely, or the exertions ofthe firemen more zealous, or crowned with greater success. 7'he second alarm proceded from the corner of Laight and Greenwich streets, at about lo,clock. The building was occupied by Mrs. D. Van Nos trand. as a grocery and crockery store, and was chiefly destroyed. We learn that a riot took place on board the steam boat llen-y Eckford on Friday evening, on her passage hence to Albany, with two freight boats in tow. It originated with two Irishmen, who were passengers with a number of others in one of the freight boats. They undertook to in terfere with the Captain respecting the amount claimed for the passage of a female, accusing him of demanding too much. To all Captain Reed’s remonstrances, they became more insolent, and were about to lay violent hands upon him, when a man belonging to the boat knocked one of them down. The other passengers on board the freight boat, then attempted to board the Henry Eckford, but were driven back alter a violent struggle. — One of the rioters cut the freight boat adrift, drew a knife and threatened the life of the Captain if he attempted to come alongside. The boat was, however, soon secured, when Captain Reed again, with great resolution, went on board at the head of his men, and after another struggle subdued the rioters, several of whom were bound and car ried to Albany, where they were taken care of by the police. Fortunately no one was seriously in jured. A passenger, from whom this information is derived, speaks in the highest terms of the con duct of Capt Reed on the occasion.— Mir. Advcr. Yale College. —We are sorry to learn that a se rious misunderstanding has arisen between the Principals of this respectable institution and a portion of the pupils, which has resulted in an open rupture, and the withdrawal of nearly one third of the scholars. The circumstances of this unfortunate occurrence, we hear, were these : The scholars had become dissatisfied with their fare at commons, and several times petitioned for an improvement. At length some of them refus ed any longer to partake, and, in violation of the rules, withdrew from the public lable. Four of these delinquents were expelled. This being deemed an act of injustice, a remonstrance was got up and signed by one hundred and forty-four of the scholars, demanding the re-instatement of their fellows, and threatening in case of refusal to withdraw in a body from the College. The Fa culty could not, without a relaxation of their law T s, comply with this demand, and the resolution of the scholars was carried into effect on Saturday. About forty of them arrived here yesterday morn ing on the way to their homes. A good deal of excitement prevails at New Haven on tills sub ject.—ib. From the Milledgeville Statesman & Patriot. I perceive by the Statesman that Thos. U. P. Charlton of Chatham, is again a candidate for Congress. This citizen has for more than twenty years past, occupied a considerable space in the public eye V\ hen almost a boy, he took a conspicuous part in the civic revolution of 1800-l,which in its effects was as important as the revolu tion of’76 —it placed Jefferson at the helm and thereby saved the Republic. He has at no instance since swerved from the re publican doctrines of that glorious epoch.— He has abandoned men, because he sup posed they had abandoned principles:— hence arose the hostility of the Crawford party against him, and it is well known that his then Jevotion to “ Old Hickory* lost him the Judgeship of the Eastern District. The time is now changed, among these very men who supported Crawford, and were vehement in their opposition to the Hero of Orleans—Charlton has therefore been consistent and firm—his opponents in the meantime shifting and changing as the political weathercock designated the point, whence the strongest gale blew ! Charlton would not consent with all his democracy, to sound the trumpet of trea son and rebellion against the general gov ernment, because men. who professed his principles, did so. Apostate federalists rose to distinction upon ilie shoulders <f State* rights, and by that affectation supplanted such patriots as Thomas U. P. Charlton. But he has refused to coalesce with a tri colored party, believing that the plain hearted yeomanry called the Old Jackson party were the real democrats of the State. At the last election with siender hopes of success, he threw himself upon the pro tection of Talbot’s friends, and defeat was the result. That party especially, and every full-blooded republican—the fiends of or der—the union of the States—the good cause of democracy uncontaminated by the admixture of federal leaven, are called upon to support a man of Charlton’s creed. From the New York Statesman. South America. —The situation of af fairs, as developed by daily arrivals from different parts of South America exhibits a picture very far from encountering to the ‘riends of human liberty, and although in compatible with the progress of general virtue aud happiness. Os Brazil, perhaps, (as never having partaken in the slightest degree of political freedom, and therefore lever having excited any of those hopes which are associated with the name of Co lombia and Peru; it is not immediately ap posite to speak as an illustration of this re nark. Yet, as s!e does afford an exam ple of its correctness, and is a country in many respects interesting, particularly to our own people, she claims a few observa ions. She is suffering all the political and moral evils which despotism,in the hands ot profligacy, is capable of inflicting on a na tion. However liberal Don Pedro may have shown himself to Portugal he still re tains an absolute away in his cis-Atlantic empire; and he exercises it with a blind ness and recklessness, not only oppressive and ruinous to his subjects, but calculated ultimately to undermine his sovereignty. — There is not (excepting in the person of the King of Spain) a parallel of united ig norance and vice, to be quoted Under his administration neither persons nor po ---perty seem to enjoy a tolerable security. V\ ithout any of the ordinary incitements to exertion, and with few of the rewards of industry in prospect, the people are never theless burdened by exorbitant imposts; and correspondents from that quarter repie sent the state of things to be so deplorable as to leave no room for improvement, oth erwise than by some decided revolution in policy or government. Perhaps in this view of this subject, the emperor’s conduct, grievous as ares its first effects, may prove efficacious at last. But it is to other regions that the atten tion of our countrymen is directed with most anxiety and apprehension. Colom bia has entered into the rank of free na tions, and has tasted the blessings ot a lib eral constitution. Os consequence, our sympathies are deeply interwoven with her welfare. Yet we see her distracted b} powerful convulsions. A people divided among themselves, a large (though we srust that not a major) portion sighing for a dictatoiship, and bent to accomplish its establishment; a convention to amend the charter ending in abortion; a government without resources; its credit depreciated; agriculture neglected; commerce prostrate; industry seen no where; in short—an as pect highly inauspicious to the growth and orosperity of the republic, i lmost uniformly presented The issue threatens tube un favorable. Bolivar will rest little short of absolute power; and though there undoubt edly remains much principle and firmness in the party of republicans opposed to him a great deal is to be dreaded from tbe strata gie of his adherents, and the instability of the people —to whose unfitness for the en joyment of equal rights (if we would come without ambiguity to the secrets) all ot the difficulties are, we fear, to be attributed. Peiu is alike unsettled. The life o the victor of Ayacucho is attempted in his very quarters; and the gavernment continues to be warning in organizatioL anp efficiency. The friends of Bolivar are aiming foi the accomplishment ofthe same {impose there, which is desired in Colombia; and even though the Constitution should finally pre vail, it will only be after great exacerba tion of party feeling, and many severe strnggles. The internal condition also, of Central America, is litlo promising. From the be ginning, she has been peculiarly character- ; ised by weakness and instability; and of, late, she has been shaken to the centre, by the turmoils of the Guatemalans Sc Salva doreans. These, it is true, appear to have been brought to an adjustment; but they may break out afresh at no distant day, and at ail events, the aid of time will be required to heal their detrimental effects. All tlu'se circumstances naturally give rise to gloomy anticipations. Still, there is something on the fairer side. In each of these republics, there is an aggregate of virtue and intelligence sufficient to oppose, if not wholy to check, ihe tide of error ami misrule. The superior firmness and more promising fortunes of Buenos Ayics and i Mexico, will likewise tend to preserve among the rest, a regard for republican in stitutions. Our own example holds forth h beacon of light—and on the whole, while there is ground for serious alarm, there is some room for more pleasing expectations; expectations which we devoutly wish may be realized in tbe fullness of time. From the New York Daily Advertiser. COLOMBIA The last packet from Carthagena brought interesting intelligence to the creditors of the Colombian Government. We hear of the payment of several private claims which had been a long time refused on the plea of want of fur.uj. On the first of July, the government paid a dividend of one and a quarter per cent, on their five per cent stock, and three quarters per cent, on the three per cents for the last six months— and for the balance, acknowledgements were given payable as soon as in funu?.r- This is the third dividend which has been regularly paid in eighteen months. The following extract of a letter, with which we have been obligingly favored, will show that the government possesses ample means for the redemption of its debts. Extract of a letter from a highly respec table gentleman in Colombia , to his friend in this city. 11 Bogota, 18th June, 1828. “ You will find enclosed a certificate for SIO,OOO of the Consolidated Debt oi the Colombian Government, bearing an inter est of five per cent, and a similar one for the same sum entitled to an interest of three per cent, payable semi-annually Ist . anua ry and Ist July, for balance of your account agaiust this government. “ The Dividend V'arrauts which become due on those securities on the next, I have retained. Under the actual situation of the country it cannot he expec ted that the full amount of the dividends will be paid, but there appears to be no doubt that half or a little more than hall will be paid. •for the remainder, which cannot be liquidated in cash, acknowledgments are given, which are payable as soon as there are sufficient funds. . n The whole domestic debt is about $33,200,000, hearing live per cent, interest per annum—ss,3oo,ooo three per cent, per annum and there may still be half a million more, which has not as yet been liquidated. “ For paying the whole of the interest there are consequently required £-320,0’ G a vear. The revenue assigned for that purpose is more than adequate to cover the interest, as four Departments only, viz Guadinamarca, Boyaca,Canca, and Azuay, have as yet contributed to pay the sums which are in the hands ot the commission of liquidation, being half of the interest*— In the remaining eight Departments nothing has been collected, and these ought to sup ply at least double the sum which is re quired for the whole interest. “ From the beginning of January next, mortgages on houses, and estates in (lie whole Republic can be redeemed with these securities according to a law of Con gress, namely, the five per cent, debt, at par, and three per cent, at at sixty per cent, of its nominal value These mort gages, according to a fair estimate, are not less than twelve to fourteen millions of dol lars, which is much more than the whole debt. The following letter is from tbe comman der of Guayquil to the commander of Car thagena, under date of June the 4th, which is contained in a Carthagena paper of the 3d July, received by the Tampico, at Nrw York. It will be observed if the dates are correct that this intelligence is about a week later than our direct advices. “ Guyaquil, June 4. “ The English ship Arrugas, Captain Walford, aruved here on the 22d ult. in 12 days from Lima. Capt. Walford in forms that all the warlike preparations go ing on m Lima indicated hostile views a gainst Colombia. It was reported there that troops were ab<ut to sail from Caliao to reinforce those in Truxillo, Lambaye que, and Fiura, and that one vessel was to sail with warlike stores —that the frigate Prueba was making pieparations for sea, by enlisting men ; thus the corvette Liber tad, formerly the General Salon, was also enlisting a crew,she having noneon board. It was also reported that these two vessels would sail with troops for Payta, for the purpose of blockading Guayaquil; for which purpose they would also send their gun boats—that the commander had declared that he would sooner throw’ up his com mission than fight against Colombia, that the same opinions were entertained by the commanders Young and Pruniere. It was understood that either General La Mar or Gen. Nicochea would command the army in person, hut it is generally believed tbe latter “In consequence of these preparations an embargo had been laid at Callao, Sc two American vessels about to sail for Guaya- j quil (probably the ship Governor Clinton; and brig Rio) had to give bonds in the sum of SIO,OOO each, that they would stop ten , days alPayta, before they could get permis sion to depart. The Captain who gives | this information says he was detained 4 ds. at Payta, when he represented his situation to the British Consul, who applied to the government and obtained permission for her to proceed direct to this port. The American Consul immediately on learning this, demanded that the bond which had been required from the American captains should be cancelled, which was complied with.” King William, f uly 23,1828. A circumstance took place in the neigh bom hood of Bruington Meeting House, in \ this county, about a month since, which i from the course of its operations, deserves notice; as it may lead to scientific research that may have a tendency to develope some i ofthe mysteries which, as yet, lie hid irU the mazes of that Providence whoso migh ty works are daily rising up from the womb of uncertainty. It is a fact, which should be reflected on, that all the works of Nature have an opposite reaction in the most simplified beauty and order—that tbe most violent convulsions of matter are led, harmless, by the gentlest means, and that the most astiate diseases are effectualy counteracted and paralized bv the simplest methods:—and Ij have no doubt that there is a remedy for j every disease in the natural garden of the j vegetable family, if the knowledge of its | attainment could be realized. For instance; ♦ what is more simple than the “Franklin J Rod ” which leads the lighting at will, and which has, through the great instrumental ity of its philosophic discoveries, saved thousands, who would have fallen vic tims to its ins antdneous destruction; or as to the vegetable allusion, the more recent discovery, which promises, in its efficacy and simple application, to arrest the hith erto incurable affection of pulmonary dis orders, in tbe gentle use of the “ Liver - . wort? —God is mighty in his might!—and ! often works by means the most unexpected and astonishing to the finite capacities of j man. “He thinks not as man thinks;” nor, : in the fulfilment of His great dispensations, does He do as man might sometimes think he would do. The circumstance to which I have allu ded, transpired on a shop of Mr Solomon S. Rilee, a gig maker, in the forementioned neighbourhood. The house was tolerably long; say, perhaps, 25 or 30 feet, by its i half, and covered w ith pine slabs. Its raf- j ters are of oak and cedar. A cedar aud oaken rafter are joined at top, aced *r piece and an oaken piece making one rat ter; and in putting them up, the cedar and oaken parts of the rafters are placed alter nately on each of the sides of the framing. When the lightning struck, it commenced at the Southern extremity of the building, and in every instance shivered* the oaken part ofthe rafters, aud did not so much as leave a sign of its touch upon the erdrr There is no aigumem of the existence „r ny thing so strong as the force of inffi. * tified fact.

There could not be a stronger evidence of a repellent pov, rr, than has been manifested in this event’* and upon refleting, I never knew nor do j remember to have heard of a cedar Im i 1;? struck by lightning—and the driest inhab! itants of my acquaintance also attest the same Now, whether there be ary irtetl}. od by which experiment may be made, to test the qualities of the different woods, nrd thereby ascertain the attractive power of the one and the repellant power of the offi. er, rests with those who are better versed in the practical acquirements es such useful exercises than is your, respectfully, oLjdi ent servant.

Adjustment of a loss by stranding, with an unsuccessful attempt to get the i ssel cfl —No part of the commercial law needs elucidation more than the rules of adjust, ir.g losses on vessels and cargoes, and a u inform genera] practice can be established only by the publication of adjustments by reference, which involve many questions which rarely appear in the courts.

On the 29 came to anchor in the roadstead of! nos; during the day it came to blow heavily. The vessel tailed on a reef, struck in two fathoms of water, unshipped the rudder, and parted the chain cable; the vessel striking very hard, Pilot ordered the cable to he cut, which was done, when the vessel canted head on shore. Set foresail and foretopsail, and drove her up on the sand to prevent her going on the rocks. On the 4th September came to the conclusion to abandon the vessel, ard save what they could of her materials On the 6ih,‘*he was sold to the governor of Enos as she lay on tbe beach, for 3175 Turkish Piastres. The materials saved were conveyed to Smyrna lor sale. The salt wis sold at Enos, the hides, copper, Sc . were carried to Smyrna Question. How are the salvage char ges and the freight of the cargo and mate rials ofthe vessel to be apportioned! Opinion. This case presents a total loss of the vessel with salvage, an entire extinction of the freight, and a partial loss of the cargo. All attempts to move the vessel from the sands with her cargo board were found u availing. The attempts to get the vessel off were attended with considerable expense, whic’i had they been successful would have been the subject ot contribution. As they did not succeed I think they were chargeable to the vessel alone. Benecke, P. 215* Phillips, P. 338 The failure of the efforts to preserve tbe whole interests together, throws all tbe charges up to the period of abandonment ofthe vessel as a wreck, upon the salvage of the vessel, and all the* subsequent expen ses of saving the wreck to the same inter est —and thosp of saving the cargo to that interest. The saving of the material! ofthe vessel and of the cargo were not for •a further prosecution of the voyage* for the voyage terminated on the day that attempts were abandoned to preserve the vessel as a vessel. Consequently all char ges that had accrued, or did subsequently accrue are to be borne by the individual interests to which they were applied. I think that the contract of freight ter ruinated at Enos, there was a total loss of that interest, and the insured is intit led to recover for the sum insured, the same being valued thereat.” * We use this word for want of an Erg lish appelation for the person who adjust losses.
