MONDAY MORNING, OCT. 20, 1828. ■ 1 j CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION. W e have received but few returns since our last. I hese returns, however, giving a statement of die vote of 52 counties, render it quite certain that our conjectures in regard to the election of Messrs. Gilmer, Wilde, Haynes, Thompson, and Wayne, were correct. Mr. Foster is also undoubt edly elected. There is yet some uncertainty in regard to the seventh man. From the 52 counties heard from, Mr. Lumpkin has received 12,452 voles; Mr. Cuthbert 10,414; and Mr. Merriwe ther 10,329. The competition is now between these three candidates ; the # ire 20 counties yet to be heard from ; and although in each of these counties the vote w’Jl be divided, yet we think it not at all unlikely that Mr. Merriwethei will re ceive a greater number than either of the other gentlemen. From the returns of the state elections, which have been received, we have no doubt that the j Troup has succeeded, and that they will have a decided majority on a joint ballot of both houses of the legislature. From the feelino- and spirit exhibited by the leaders of the part} , there w ill undoubtedly be an attempt made to sweep the whole judicial board,and elect anew set of judges, solicitors, &c. from the ranks of the dominant party. Nothing, we think, can place in a stronger point of view, the impropriety of the present mode of electing judges in this state, than tiie frequent changes which take place on the bench, through the perpetual strife and alternate success of parties. No officer known to our lawn more requires the aids of experience than a judge,— yet. such is the tenure upon w hich he holds his office, that he is certain to be cnsprAwad at the end of three years, if he wihf not consent to truckle to the will of a party, and stoop to court the favor of the mob by the lowest arts known to the politi cian. If the political notions of the incumben do not square in all points with those of the party in power. —learning, talents, probity, legal expe rience, all are sacrificed to the desire of party domination. Such has been the fate of some of our most upright and intelligent judges in times past ; such will be their fate in future. It. is an evil inherent in our present judiciary system. The State Flection which has just, taken place in Maryland shows a considerable acccsion of strength to the cause of the Administration. The Baltimore Patriot, of the Bth, remarks, “ accord ing to the returns now received, ?*Tr. Adams will certainly hate eight electoral rotes, and should- he receive the vote of this district, of which w ? e have the least doubt, he will then have ten, and Gen. Jackson but one veto in Maryland.” The National Intelligencer, of the 9th says. i! The returns, so fir as received, fully warrant a calculation upon nine out of the eleven electors to be chosen on the 10th proximo, being in favor of the administration.” We have no doubt that the intemperate pro ceedings of tlie disunion politicians in the south from the fact of their being the supporters of Jackson, will have a most decided influence on the prospects of the Hero in the middle and we-tern states Although every” one must repel the suppo sition, that Jackson himself sanctions those un patriotic sentiments which hare K en expressed by his partisans in the south—yet that cause can not but suffer, which has for its most active advo cates, men who are known lo be selfish in their views, and unprincipled in character. The people may have the fullest confidence in the patriotism and integrity of Jackson, and yet they may tear i the succecss of a party, wdiose leaders, professing ! tli* most opposite pimciples in politics, and con | tradictory opinions, seem bound together by no 1 ties but those of interest and ambition. To the Editor of the Mercury and Argus. j Darien, October 17. I The friends of the present administration of the General Government, are much more numerous , in tins section of the State than cur opponents wish to allow. The noisy, open-mouthed politi ’ cians, the half-pint- men, and the hurra boys, are all for Jackson. But it is not so with the better informed and more respectable classes. Among them, Mr. Adams lias many well wishers. They have watched the course of his administration ; they have seen much to approve of, and little to condemn. They have seen, under his guidance, our nation steadily advance in the course of pros perity ; they have seen the national debt rapidly diminish ; they have marked his private virtues and his public worth ; and could they control the current cf events, they would wish his re-election. But, feeling thus, they do not wish to disturb the tranquility of the State, or murmur at the deci sion of a majority of the people. Enclosed we send you, for publication, the answer of Mr. M Connell, to a Committee of the friends of the General Government, by whom he had been no ruinated a candidate for Elector of President and Vice President.* RiCEßono’, 4th Oct. 1828. Gentlemen : I have received your communica tion of 29th nit. requesting (as a committee inbd half of the friends'of the general administrat ion in vour county) permission to announce me a can didate for Elector in favor of our distinguished Chief Magistrate. I appreciate duly this marked manifestation of your confidence, and would com ply with your request, did not my very limited ac quaintance in the State (being politically un known) render il proper to decline the honor you have so kindly offered to confer upon me. 1 beg leave to assure you, my feelings and unfeigned wishes on this all-absorbing question are in per fect accordance with yours —that, how ever unable I rnav be to advance the good cause, none can claim a greater devotion to it—an administration based upon virtue, tried talents and patriotism. In conclusion, gentlemen, please accept the fneiivl ship of your most obedient servant, I WM. P. M CONNELL. • To Wm. A. Dunham, Thos. King, and > Ausou Kimberly, Esqs. JJaricn. $ SAVANNAH, THURSDAY MOP YJ-AtZ. OCTOBER 23, 1828. Philadelphia , Oct. 7. —We are glad to be able to elate that the Secretary of the Navy hag so far re covered his health as to have arrived in this city on. his way to the seat of Government. He this day visited the Navy \ ard and Naval Asylum, and some other of our public buildings.—A at. Int. JYaval. —We understand that orders have been received to comp the U. S. Frigate Guerriere , i lp n g at the Navy Yard, Gosport, for sea, with all possible despatch. | Great alarm was excited recently at Norfolk & | Portsmouth, (Va.) by a sudden appearance of fire i in the direction of the Navy Yard. Thore was a general rush towards the spot indicated by the light, and great alacrity was manifested by the citizens to save, as they supposed the public pro perty. The cause of alarm, however, was fortu nately discovered to be only a kitchen, and the fire was soon extinguished without doing injury to any other object. The New-York Enquirer says that the funds raised for the purpose of preserving some of the effects of the late Governor Or. inton, were not applied for the purpose intended; and t* ***• jg do nors were to bo called together to decide riu.. j disposition they will make of the amount aubesr- ! bed. . ; V 1 New-York, Oct. 3.—Mr. Jehovitch, who, it will be remembered, was acquitted on an indictment charging him with intending to defraud-the un derwriters of a vessel which he had chartered, has commenced an action against Mr. Justice Hopson on a plea of trespass and false imprison ment. The Summer has past away with less sickness than usual 5 indeed it has been the most healthy we have known for many years, not only in this place, but throughout the state,with the exception of some places near the mountains, where, we understand, considerable fever has prevailed.— Co lumbia State Gazette , 1 \th inst. It may be interesting to merchants to know, says the Boston Patriot, that the Secretary of the Treasury has decided, that under the new Tariff the article of serges is not to be considered as flannels, but that the duties on the same are to be estimated on a minimum price, according to the actual cost and value theieof. Agreeably to notice, the launch of the steam boat General Jackson, took place yesterday from Mr. Marsh’s Ship Yard. The launch was per formed in a very handsome style, and much to the satisfaction of a large concourse of spectators. The boat, we understand, draws 18 inches for ward. and 19 inches aft, and was built for Messrs. M’Kenzie and Bennoch, of Augusta. Charleston Paper. Ncw-'York, Oct. 10.—The steam packet Chan cellor Livingston, on her passage from Providence, broke her centre shaft, and came to anchor off Huntington Light at 7 o’clock on Wednesday morning. The passengers, about 100 in number, were taken off in the afternoon, by the John Mar shall, from Norwalk, and arrived here in the eve ning. We understand it will require several days to repair the Chancellor. The steam ship Bonjamin Franklin, which left here at 20 minutes past 3 on Monday afternoon, arrived at Providence at 7 next morning, and the passengers reached Boston at 48 minutes being 19 hour?, and 28 minutes from the time they j left the wharf here. The shortest passage ever made before, was 20 hours and 30 minutes. A passenger who left Boston on Friday last, and came in the Benjamin Franklin, took tea early the next evening at Albany. .Occident —Mr. Merritt, the Agent of the “Wel land Canal Company, who arrived here in the Na poleon from Liverpool, had the misfortune, while on his way to Canada, to break his thigh in two places, by the overturning of a stage in Onondngo county. After receiving surgical aid, he was transferred to a canal boat, and convoyed to Buf falo. rc Extent of the United Slates. —A letter, dated Prairie du Chien, August 15, reached us this morning bv the ordinary mail route from that place. Since its date, we have received advices from the shores of the Euxine and the utmost parts of Europe. What adds to the curiosity of the fact is, that the letter relates to a subscription for the Statesman, sent to a Social Library in that remote region. The Post Office at that village is 590 miles distant from any other.— N. Y. States man. - The Paris Journal des Debats announces the publication of the first two volumes of a collec tion of contemporary memoirs which embrace the most piquante periods of modern annals. These two volumes, which are to be followed by four others, contain memoirs of the Empress Jose phine, of the Court of Navarre and Malmaison. of Louis Bonaparte, the Court of Holland, and the French administration in that country. Jin awkward situation. —Wc have been inform ed that whilst two gentlemen w'ere performing their ablutions in the river, on the north shore, yesterday, some light fingered gentry made free with their clothes, which the proprietors had left !to take care of themselves on the bauk. The j consternation and awkward dilemma of the par ! ties, on making the discovery, may be more easily i conceived than described. We did not hear how t they got out of their difficulties, or whether they were compelled to wait in the fields till night clothed them in her ebon mantle. — Liverpool'pap. We learn from she Norwalk, (Connecticut,) Re publican, that the September term of the superior court for Fairfield co. closed its session at Danbury last Friday. Among the convictions was the following : Isaac Bishop , on an information for adultery, and three indictments for poisoning the wells of Joseph Smith, of New Canaan, and Holley Bell and Thaddeus Hoyt, of Darien; found guilty on all, and sentenced on the second to imprisonment in the state prison during life ; and on the third and fourth to imprisonment for one year, and to pay a fine of $509 on each. ‘The same paper adds, that early on Tuesday morning Bishop was found, in his room, in the Danbury gaol, apparently near his end. Circum stances strongly indicated, and it was generally supposed, that he had taken poison. It was ru moured at Norwalk on Tuesday evening, that he was dead. Roman Catholic Churches.— With the increase of our population by its natural growth and by emigration, the number of churches is augment ed proportionally, and among othors those of the Roman Catholic denomination. Anew church for this sect has b&on eommenfeed at Breton, one has been erected in Eastport, one in-Portland,and one in Dover. Lots are purchased for others in Saco, Newport, Pawtucket, and Hartford; the whole evincing a rapid accession oi numbers to the lew Catholics heretofore found in New Eng land.—V. Y. Statesman. Infant Schools.—The attempt is making to es tablish, throughout the country, schools tor chil dren before they arrive at the age when they usually attend school—say from 2to 7 years of age. In those cases where children can receive uo domestic education, they must be evidently useful, because they will tend to prevent tU wrong impressions, which the Under mind of the clnld may receive between the age of 2 and 7 years It is far easier to prevent bad habits, than correct them. In this view, we think these insti tutions deserve encouragement. We have been informed that one is in successful operation in this “ notl ? er ls about to established ,In Philadelphia there are five public institutions of the kind in successful operation.— Boston Patriot. Receive, Mr. Editor, the following statement, obtained at the canal collector’s office, on Satur day, at Utica. From the opening of the canal in 1827, to Ort • Oi that year, 293,248 bids, of flour were entered for the east—do. to .Oct. 1823, 254,271 have pass ed—difference; 38,977, for this year. There is at present a large break on the canal, this side of Rochester, which prevents boats arri ving. There rather a short crop of wheat at the ! west; and the farmers will not thresh at present expecting to realize golden prices from the minus crops m Europe. Observation and information, the last fly— months i tho *- * -> uttuev^ -jc no scarcity this year of wheat.— N. Y DtiMrtfan. Canal Commerce.— Two hundred tons of mer chandise were received at our wharves, by the Erie Canal, during the last week, destined for Michigan Territory and the states of Pennslvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. This was exclusive of the supplies for our own village, and of the im mense quantities of salt, amounting to many hun dred barrels, which arrived during the same peri od. Such are the facilities of conveyancing up the Lake, that this quantity of goods, extensive as it is will meet with no delay here, as thirty four sail of vessels were in port on Friday last, receiving cargoes, or ready for sea. Such is among the consequences of the Erie Canal, thq enliven ing influences of which are still extending west, and are already felt even upon the shores of the Mississippi.— Bu ffalo Journal of Sept. 30. i MelancJiolhj Event. —On the 30th ult. as James Boyd, aged 17 years and G months, was returning to Warren ton from the race course, lie was thrown from his horse against a tree, and received a severe wound on his head which he only survived five hours. — Raleigh Star, 9th inst. The brig Dromo, Capt. Morgan, arrived at this port last evening from Buenos Ayres, whence she sailed on the Soth of August. We have not learned that she brings any intelligence of inter est. The following extracts are from a paper of the latest date we have received : Philadelphia Aurora. Buenos Ayres, Aug. 9—The price of specie has not varied the last week. Doubloons, 50 dol lars each. Exchange on England. 17dper dollar. Subscriptions and donations continue to be made in aid of the fund for the purchase of national vessels. Thirteen Brazillian vessels were at anchor off Ensenada yesterday. The schr. Rehoboth, Horn, from New-York, ar- j rived at Ensenada on the 23d ult. and at this port on the 4th inst. Arrived, at Salado, Ist, an American schr. from the coast of Brazil, with tobacco and sugar. Two British brigs sailed from the Salado, on Thursday, for Europe. The British brig Triton, from Liverpool—an American brig from Chili, and the U. S. Corvette Bo?*ton, from Rio Janeiro, have arrived at Monte video. The B. A. privateer Cacique, has arrived at Pa tagonia The British ships of war Thetis, Sapphire, nnd Heron, arrived at Montevideo on the 2d from this port, the two former to proceed for Rio Janeiro. Lord Ponsonby did not go on shore. A Brazilian squadron of four vessels sailod thence the same day for Maldonado.— N. Y. Mcr.Adv. From the London Mechanics’ Magazine. Epsom Salts. —The United States of America, which used to be furnished with Epsom Salts from this country, have now the whole of their supply from a manufactory of their o,vn, established at Baltimore, by Messrs. M’Kirn, Sims 4” Cos. These gentlemen have succeeded in making purer sait than in Europe, at much less price, and now ma nufacture about 1,500,000 lbs. annually. A writer in the London Morning Chronicle holds this language: li There is no denying the vast superiority of the Americans to the English in naval gunnery ; and the reason is obvious. In America, the officers must learn the naval service—in England the re lations of the officers must learn their Parliamen tary service; and this makes all tho difference. The Guerriere, Java, Macedonia, and Shannon, lost in their actions with American frigates, more by one third than our whole fleet in the great vic tory off St. Vincents. The following table will show the immense destruction effected by the American fire, compared to that of any other na tion. The first column is a rough calculation of the guns engaged, and the latter is an accurate statement of the killed and wounded : Lord Howe’s victory, 2,200 1,0G6 Lord Duncan’s 1,200 704 Lord St. Vincent’s, 1.400 800 The Nile, 1,110 895 Trafalgar, 2,550 1,594 American Frigates, 170 391 So that the sanguinary battle off Camperdown did not cost us twice our loss in engaging four American frigates, and nearly the same may be said of the most desperate of all naval fights on record —that of the Nile. The Java frigate, of only 3G guns, when taken by the Americans, lost within one as many as the Temeraire,- 98 guns ; Within four a many a tho Victory. 100 fflins; and within a few as many as the Royal Sovereign of one hundred, in the battle of Trafalgar ; and vet the Victory and Royal Sovereign, were Lord Nelson’s and Collingwood’s flag ship, and bore the brunt of the battle.” ■€ “ 1 “ The Capitol. —Accitienially paying a visit to the Capitol yesterday, we were much struck viitu the improvements going on in the interior of the building, in the grounds, terrace, &r. as well as with the alterations which parts of the exterior are undergoing. The entrance to the Hall of Representatives, or rather into the lobby of the hall from the vestibule, is undergoing a total change by which the space in the lob by is much enlarged, and the vestibule be comes, by the removal of the door, and changing the direction of the steps which lead to it, the proper entrance or door way of the hall, The whole place, is in a world of confusion just now, hut it is easy to see that this alteration will be a greet improve ment, the approach to the hall having been heretofore quite narrow, dark and inconve nient. It is intended to be finished before Congress assembles. In the Senate chamber, it gave us real pleasure to perceive symptoms of a restora tion of symmetry and order to the apart ment. The Vce President’s chair has got back to its former location, and the it hole rank and file of chairs and desks are under orders, as it were, to face about and form a semi circle in front, as formerly, instead of being arrayed in opposition to one ano ther, in cm ves and lines, which reminded one of nothing on earth but the section of a ; pider’s web, unless it might he the send diamer of a cart wheel, with the spokes ra diating from midway of the felo©, instead - of the hub. \Y v had this reform with great pleasure; for the alteration made in the Senate chamber at this time last \ear was abhorrent to every principle of tuste and harmony. - A great improvement is also to be made in the gallery of the Senate, by which (he public will be more numerously and conveniently accommodated than here tofore.—Nat.
