X'M THURSDAY 1* 1 ~~ ‘ We have published several extracts from the National Intelligencer in regard to the election in Ohio, Kentucky, New Jersey, and New Hamp shire. If the returns published in the Intelligen cer may be depended on, the probability is, that the vote of Ohio will go for Mr. Adams. The vote of Kentucky is extremely doubtful. The vote of New Jersey will undoubtedly be thrown to the administration. The returns from New York are contradictory. Both parties claim advantages, and no correct es- j timate can be formed of the final statement of the j vote, until further and more correct information is : received. Mr. Adams cannot be re-elected with out the entire vote of Kentucky and twenty-one rotes in New York. In our Legislative proceedings, w T e notice the report of a bill to compel justices of the peace to give bond and security for the payment of money Collected by them. The evils experienced under the present syetem are very general, and call loudly for a remedy yet we do not believe that a provision of the kind proposed will effect a cure. The office of justice of the peace is one requiring considerable labor, legal information, and attention ; but as these courts are now organized, it is one of little honor or profit ', and in man' 7 parts of the state, there has always been ranch difficulty in finding men of respectability who will .accept of it. By increas ing the responsibility of the office, therefore, with out adding any thing to its respectability or profit, will only have the tendency to drive from the office those who arc really worthy of it, and throw -it altogether into the hands of those who will neither perform its duties with ability nor integri ty. If we wash to aud to the responsibility of the office, we must also add to its respectability and profit. Men of talents and standing, whatever may be their patriotism, will not serve the public, for any length of time, in situations wdiere they can gain neither honor, nor pecuniary reward, for their services. Let the jurisdiction of the Magis trates” courts be extended ; let the fees be increas ed instead of being reduced ; give them conso quence and respectability, and they would be filled with responsible and intelligent individuals ; and the evils now so severely felt, and so loudly complained of, would cease. The President of the United States has official ly recognised Alexis Eustaphrieff. as Consul Ge neral of the Emperor of Russia, to reside at New York. It is stated that General Church and his col league, Lord Cochrane, have been singularly un fortunate in Greece ; they went there certain of victory, in the midst of the acclamations of all the Philiiellenes, and both have been obliged to fly tlio country for fear of being murdered by their friends. | Washington Irving. —This gentleman was in Cadiz on the 29th Aagust. at the house of the A ousflnn Pnnenl Hftvincy mnHfl a t.OAir through Andalusia. The second edition of his Columbus, it is said, will Ho bttor tliau tin; first. the author having picked up much interesting matter on that subject. JYcic Hampshire. —R-turns from 77 towns in this state give for Adams 10,082, Jackson 9728, A, majority 954. The editor of the Boston Cou rier had this information direct from a friend in one of the towns on Connecticut River. The daily Advertiser gives detailed returns from 78 * towns in New Hampshire, in which the Adams i ticket has 11,265 votes and the Jackson 10,094, 1 majority 1261. In these towns the Administra tion gain since last March when there was2soo Administration majority in the whole state, is about 200. There is no doubt about the result. Tnc English have got another bauble, the em bryo Queen of Portugal. Accounts of her arrival have already been given. Her majesty was es cort'd from the frigate by a hundred boats deco rated with flags, and landed under appropriate sa lutes. She was received on shore with great for mality by lords and attendants, her path strewed with flowers by a hundred little girls, and a court formed with a guard of honor, Ac. The mayor, corporation ana respectable inhabitants, in grand procession, were introduced and addressed her majesty, to which her majesty returned a reply. The gentlemen were introduced and had the ho nor of kissing her majesty's hand. Her majesty went through a variety offorrnal ceremonies, ex hibiting herself to the populace, 4yc. and departed Under a salute for Truro, in an open carriage.— Her majesty is ten years of age ! ? — Aurora. Tire body of a drowned man was found afloat In the basin, near Bowly’s wharf, Baltimore, on the 10th inst. He appeared to be about 40 years of age. stout and probably 5 feet e or ft inches Tiigh , with very dark hair; had on dark brown woollen clothes, with bright yellow buttons on his vest. Id his pantaloons pockets were found about $2 80 in change, a few headed brads, a punch, a large key suspended by a green woollen string and a piece of shaving soap. We have not learnt the verdict of the jury. Fraud detected. —A load of cotton was sold in Our market on Thursday, and the samples ap pearing damp, the purchaser cut each of the b des entirely open, when they were found to be packed with water, so as greatly to increase the weight and to destroy a large portion of the cot ton. Instead of obtaining $175 for the 5 bales, the owner, after some difficulty, sold them for $75. Several similar detections hove been made, and purchasers are on their guard. We hope this will be a caution to those who arc disposed to practise such impositions—they will find “ honesty is the best policy.”— Pet. Intel. We received on Wednesday by the brig Calais Packet, 55 days from Omoa, the Honduras Ga zette of the 27th Sept. It contains very little news. The war in Guatemala still continues without any abatement of its violence. The go vernment of Guatemala had refused to grant passports to such of its citizens as were desirous of visiting the British colony ou the Baiize. The reason offered is that such persons would disclose the transactions of the republic with regard to the Gnatemalian Loans. These b ans we believe were made to the government for mining pur- ! posoH, but the mines hitherto have not yielcd one j cent, and it is expected they never will, un less tue bond-holders go in person and labor at them These mines are said to be really more abundant than those in Mexico, because the Kings ot Spain invariably ordered the Mines of Mexico should be worked whilst those of Guata inela should be reserved for future ages.—A*. 1. Journal of Commerce. Thanhs giving in Vermont. —ln Vermont it is customary for the Legislature to appoint the da\ for the annual Thanksgiving, and to request the Governor to issue his proclamation, announcing it. The proposition for determining the day Foi this festival, the pressnt year, gave rise to the fol lowing debate. . Mr. Dewey called up a resolution which had been introduced and laid on the table, requesting the Governor to appoint Thursday, the 27th ot November, for Thanksgiving, when Mr.. Bailey, of B. moved to amend the same by altering that time to the Ist Thursday of December, observing that as this day was kept in obedience to an old ; custom, he should be opposed to altering the cus tomary time of keeping it. Messrs. Leland and Lyman opposed the amend- i ment on the ground tiiat the time proposed there in would interfere with the court of Windsor county. . Mr! Bailey of B. replied, that if this argument had any weight, it would with equal force apply to Chittenden county, which held its adjourned term the last Tuesday of November. Thus the two 1 arguments were balanced in this respect. Asa matter of feeling he preferred the good old timo of keeping this holiday—and he would suggest ; that, as the last Congress had laid a now dut.y on molasses , we might be compelled to postpone our Thanksgiving another week for want of that necessary article, as the good people ot Connec ticut were once obliged to do Mr Finney thought that the community at large ought to be accommodated as well as the courts and lawyers, and as the usual day would best answer the expectations and convenience of • the people, he hoped the amendment would pre- I vail. ! Mr. Pettihone said, that though this was a day kept by our forefathers in remembrance of their landing, and the custom might be commendable, yet lie had objections to having the day fixed every year for Thanksgiving, when sometimes a fast would be more appropriate, and for his own part he would prefer leaving it at this time in the breast of the Governor, and to postpone the day to some time in December, when we could be thankful and rejoice in the success of the interests ot the Union. Mr. Bailev of B rejoined, that he believed the gentleman from Manchester was mistaken in his views of the origin of this Holiday. We believed our forcfktherslirst established annual fasts, but the more they fasted, the scarcer wore the provi sions. and the drearier their prospects grew, when thev concluded to be thankful for what they had, and turned their fasts into thanksgivings, and thenceforth they were b * sed with abundant prosperity. He could not agree therefore, with the gentleman from Manchester, that the failure of the crops, or a scarcity of provisions would jus tify us in abolishing this annual custom and re turning to perpetual fasting. Amendment pre vailed, and the resolution passed, A number of gentleme v in Montreal have given notice that they will petition the Provincial Par liament, at the next session, for leave to make a Rail Road from St. John to tiie river St. Law rence. The Provincial Parliament of Lower Canada is to meet, for the despatch of business, on the 21st inst. In consequence of the disagree ment between the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government of that Province for some years past, the legislative business has fallen much in arrears. Robber Proof Trunks. —A new material for trunks, mail baers, buckets. N:c. has been recently invented bv Mr Peter Laporte, a specimen of which is left at our office for inspection. It is made of heinp and wire spun together. The hemp is twisted tight round tho wires, and the strands thus formed are woven together. The cl->th is painted on both sides This prevents the hemp from rotting and the wire from rusting A trunk made of this material is lighter than one made of leather and impervious. We consider it a useful invention.— Prov. Jour. A caution —A ladv a few days ago, in passing rapidly round the base of the sky-liglit on the dome of the grand rotundo of the Capitol, sud denly fell upon the glass frame, broke through one oi tne panes, and was fortu*-*~..- 1., ncr descent by the narrowness of the aperture, and the extension of her arms She remained sus pended in that position for several minutes, 130 feet above a floor paved with stone, till one of her attendants came to her assistance, her compan ions being too much petrified to give her any aid. We trust this will he a warning to those whose curiosity may lead them to that splendid but dan gerous apex.— Wash. Chron. Singular circumstance. —lt was related to us, (says the Vermont Journal of Nov. 1) a day or two since, by a person of unquestionable veracity, that while a party whore engaged, upon the sth in stant, near the village of Rutland, in this state, in firing at. a puropkin for a mark, a ball passed the object, and after going 81 rods, as ascertained by measurement, entered the mouth of a Mr. Strong, who was standing in the range of the gun, knocked in two of his teeth, and lodged in the i passage of the throat. The ball was, with some 1 difficulty, extracted by Dr. Cleaveland, of Rut ! land, leaving the subject of this unwelcome in ■ trusion “ more scared than hurt.” although some ; slight infla'nation of the mouth and throat was j experienced for a few days. The mark was sixty • feet higher than the spot on which Mr. Strong stood. } Good if true , 11 as Jonathan salts." —A Chan cery Barrister, having been for a lonir while an noyed by an irritable ulcer on on*’ of his legs, called upon Mr. Abernethy for the purpose of ob taining that gentleman's advice The chancel lor judging of an ulcer as of a brief , that it must be seen before its nature could he understood, was busily occupied in removing his stocking and bandages, when Mr. Abernethy abruptly advanc ed towards him and exclaimed iri a stentorian voice, • Halloo ! what are ye about there, put out your tongue man ; aye, there ’tis. I see it—l’m satisfied—quite enough—quite enough—shut up your leg, man—shut it up—shut it up. Here, take one of these pills every night on going’ to bed.” The lawyer put the box of pills into liis pocket, handed over a tee, and was about to lea ve the room, when Mr. A. thus accosted him; “Why d—e look here, this is but a shilling !” The Bar rister sarcastically replied. “ Aye, there “tis ! I see it—l’m satisfied! quite enough—quite e nough ! shut it up—shut it up !” and hastily quit ted the room. Nassau Village (Dunstable, N. H.) Nov. L—l ho curiosity’ of the inhabitants if this • village has been much excited withiu the last two or three weeks, by an unusual trembling of the doors and windows in al mesi every house. Some have conjectured that it was owing to the water falling over the dam, which has been erected here.— Others have doubted whether it was owing to tiiis because the jarring of the w indows was not uniformly the same when the water in the river is about llie same height The noise is very perceptible duringsome whole days and nights, on other days it is heard only at intervals. We have hoard of a number who have been alarmed at this jar ring of the windows, who live five miles distant fiom the village. A gentleman who Ives about forty rods from the dam has ob- Sffved considerable motion of the hav in . s bams. Some persons hove seriously thought of removing from the village, lest tin y should he swalh w* and up by an earth, quake. This motion of the buddings is probably occasioned by the agitation of ne air, which is caused by the water falling ‘vcr he dam, and by the percussion of the air. From the National Intelligencer, From Maine. —Oue Elector favourable to General Jacksou has been chosen in the Cumberland District, in Maine, owing to an increase of old Federal voters on that side. The whole vote in the district was 4 213 for Jackson, and 4040 for Mr. Ad ams. As we expect to obtain one of the votes of Tennessee, the two votes may be set off against one another, as being equal ly and alike eccentric. From New Hampshire. —The Editors have received the following letter from a most respectable source: “Portsmouth, (N. H.) Nov. 5 1828. Gentlemen: l have been most desirous to have given you earlier information ot the result of the election in this State, but T have not been able, from returns receiv ed, to do so before this time. In this vi cinity Jacksonism has strengthened its force a little. The Fishermen all voted against Mr. Adams, “because he is opposed to the Fisheries.’* The Coasters all voted against him, because the General would give them “iwice as much business.” The Laborers voted against him, because Mr. Adams had said that “hay was good enough for poor men to feed on, ”&.c. &c But there is integrity and intelligence enough among our citizens to save the State from the disgrace of throwing itseP under the wheels of the Military chariot. I have seen returns from sixty five towns, in which the result is very near the same as last Spring election. The Administra tion ticket will prevail by more than two thousand votes—probably by more than 3000 If you have noticed the opposition papers of this Slate, you have seen their emire disregard of truth and decency.— But, more than that funds have been sup plied to the unprincipled leaders of that faction here, to go into towns and villages to hold midnight meetings and circulate falsehoods, that, hardened as they are, they dared not publish in their papers.— Many, very mmy good and honest men, when they shall be undeceived, as they will be, will visit upon these unprincipled demagogues unequivocal proofs of their dis pleasure. Tlie mail of Tuesday will bring us the result in Cumberland District Maine. I fear that a Jackson Elector has succeeded in that District In this state we probably lost 2’ 4)0 by the violence of the storm on b lection day. The aged and considerate people are cautious of exposing themselves, and dread, at such a time, the bustle and crowd of the places of meeting; while our ooponents are never more at home than in “ tempests, hail and rain, * From New Jersey . -From the several counties from which returns have been received, the following results areas nearly correct as unofficial advices can make them: Bergen county his given for the adminis tration an average majority of 16l ; Kssex 1,140; Someiset, 94; Middlesex, 500 ; Burlington, 1,214; Gloucester, 744 ; Sa lem 236: Cnrnhprli4, 130: Cape May not exactly known, believed tp be 350 ; making, in the administration counties up wards of 4,500 majority, which may be in creased or diminished, slightly, by official accounts. M onmouth is reported to have given about 62 majority for the Administra tion. In the Jackson county of Huuter di'wn, their majority is 393; in Warren. Sussex and Morris no complete returns are received. It is believed that the ma jority for Jackson in VV arren is about 350 ; in ‘ ussex, about 1,100 and in Moms a bout 150: making the Jackson majorities about 2,000, perhaps rather more or less, aud leaving a clear majority in the State of about 2,500 at least. Thus, it will be seen that the administration Tickets for Con gress and for Electors in this state are se cured to Mr. Adams. From Ohio. —We have received the following Letters : “ Chilicothe , 4th Nov. 1828. Gentlem l n : I have not heard the re sult of the Electoral election fiom a single county in this District, except the county in w hich I reside. The administration ma jority in this country ( *oss) is 170. We polled about 600 more votes there on the 31st than we did on the I4ih October. I •oceivedlast night from Columbus the re turns from 10 counties, which gives the administration a majority of 420 over the administration candidate for Governor.— There is no doubt of Trimble s election ; and we feel equally confident that Mr. A dams will receive the vote of the State.—- The Wt stern Reserve will give a majority i/l 10,000 tor Mr. Adams. So we are as sured by our friends, and I have no doubt of the fact. * “Cleaveland, Nov 2, 1828. Supposing you might feel an interest in learning the result of our late elections I take the liberty of informing you that very active exertions were used by the friends ol the A ministration in this county, and the North part of the State generally to get out the voters at our election for Electors on the 31st ult and 1 am happy to state, their endeavors have been crowned with the most signal success, nearly 50 per cent more votes were polled than were ever known before, and no doubt can be enter tained that the majority for the Adams tic ket on the estern Reserve will be at least 8,000, which is about 2,000 more than that of Gov. Trimble at the late election. Gov. Tumble’s majority in the state is about 3/00, and it is almost certain that the A -ants ticket will prevail by a majority considerably greater.” A ‘light shade of doubt rests on the mind of some as o the vote of Ohio, w hich time o,l l> fait dissi .ate. We entertain the de cided belief that it is in favor of the Admi nistration. From Kentucky —Fayette County, it is believed, h s •; veil the Administration a mi y rity of 250 votes. Campbell C limy, on the first day, gave a inajoriiy of 550 votes for Jackson. Boone County, first day, gave a majority of 200 votes for the Administration Fleming County, first day, Adams 589, Jackson 320. In Jessamine and \\ oodford, the Admi nistration tickets running ahead. Bourbon, on the first day, for Adams 668, Jacksou36B. Scott, first day, 368 votes majority for the Jackson ticket. The Character and Person of Bolivar . It is long since the following was select ed for republication. Theie is a strength and discrimination in the strokes of Mr. Vidaurre s pen, which remind one strongly of the style of Tacitus. The article is fiue ly and classically wrought. Boston, Sept, 15, 1828. My Dear Friend and Fellow-Countryman: It is neither a frivolous nor blameable curiosity to wish to acquaint ones self with the character, inclinations, religion, and even physiognomy of a general whose name is continually repeated in the public papers of America and Europe. It is useful and interesting to know him. Perhaps mankind would have suffered less, if many of the scourges whose pleasure it was to torment them had been carefully observed by those very persons who labored most in their elevation Alas ! that Agrippina did not foresee that the son for whom she prepared the throne would give orders for her assas sination ! Alas ! that the Fuglish should have thought they had in Charles 11. a Prince grateful for the power which was restored to him ! Alas ! that the Spaniards never thought that a king whom they re deemed from captivity by their valor and brave efforts, would be an oppressor!— There are men who ought to be described with the same exactness as the rocks and shoals in the seas, the volcanoes in the mount ains, the venomous insects in some unhealthy countries. Those who believe that Bolivar is a com mon genius, or that his talents are limited, are much deceived, I answer your letter with pleasure. This is an investigation useful both to the new and old world. But sh ill I he believed ? No one witnessed more nearly the reign of Justinian and Theodora, than Procopius, but Procopius is extravagant either in praise or censure. The ink of his pen is graduated either by the favor or neglect which he receives from the court. Nothing can oblige me to dis semble or pervert facts. No one promoted me in the Peruvian Republic, bur the same personage whom I now describe. I never could be put down while I remained on his side. From the country which I defended and liberated I expect nothing lam ex cited neither by hatred not hope conse~ quemly I must be just. The physiognomy of a man generally dis covers his passions. Tiberius made a pio found study of dissimulation. Augustus < knew it before appointing him his success- i sor. Bolivar is of ordinary stature, very lean, complexion between red and olive, very black coarse hair, thin in front, broad arched eyebrows aud very bushy, an eye of fire, and somewhat sunkeu, a sharp nose, aquiline face, a body lean, hollow, aud without air or grace, a sharp discordant voice, a continual motion of the body aud chiefly of the hands, it is not the portrait of Attilla, neither is it exactly that of Theo doric. \ strong memory, a sublime poetic al genius, a vast understaudiug, great ideas general knowledge, a tit*#9 for military ex- . ercises, dislike to the table, hatred of con stitutional laws, passion for despotism, a misc nceived thirst foi gloiv, contempt of money, a very strong propensity to deceit, frustrated on many occasions by his ardor and imprudence, variable in friendship, aus tere in conversation, a satiiical devourer of those persons who approach him most, and whom lie appears to favour most to distinguish, lascivious without love, jealous from pride, indifferent to all religion. I do not speak of his valor, because I have no proofs of it. In the only two great battles of Peru, which were those of Juuiu and Ayacucho, he had no part. In the first he abandoned the field ; during the second he was at the distance of one hundred and fifty leagues. His principal defects consist in his ex cessive love ot flattery, and those persons who approve and support his opinion ob tain the highest esteem. He would wish that tnen would possess morality, but that this should yield on occasion to his inter ests. His policy consisted in attracting all those persons who were distinguished for virtue, talents, and valor, but that they should offer no resistance to him He is ’ not sanguinary by character, but by politi cal necessity. He will never shed a drop of blood tor pleasure, and he would inun date nations with it, if that would conduce to his elevation and grandeur He has only one feeling which sways hi.n, other passions and feelings are very subordinate. He wishes to be the Napoleon of the Ame ricas. The deeds of great conquerors in flame him. I often observed him during the long hours that we were together He varied incessantly in his feelings between joy and sadness, while reading the journal of Count Las Cases. He has a very strong propensity to heroism, but he pursues a contrary course, and those who call them selves his friends, far from restraining him, urge him ou, that he may rush headlong to ruin. I have often compared him to the Em peror Aurelian. He wishes to govern like a despot, but at the same time he desires the right administration of justice, he de tests venality, he encouiages the arts and sciences, protects commerce, is alive to the interests o! agriculture, and attends vigil antly to the mint s. Good civil laws he maintains, and sees them well executed ; the political laws are all subject to his will. Had he been horn centuries before* in Rome, he would have been an excellen ‘ Emperor. Hid he been the son of Ltu-> XIV lie would have made a good King f Frapce. In order to be an Emperor oi King in South America, he is obliged to L a tyrant, aud a cruel oue.
