The file of the “State Rights Sentinel” for 1536 has been borrowed from our office by some person who has omitted to return it. We would therefore thank the individual who has it in pos session to send it home. In the event that we are unable to obtain our own, we should be glad to purchase or borrow a file for that year, and also o the one of the Augusta Chronicle. Vermont Elections. The returns from this State are from 36 towns, which Whig candidate 10,003 votes, ma jority over his Locofoco competitor—a train of 7213 over the vote of last year. From the remaining Congres-ional district, (Fletcher’s, Locofoco,) we have not full returns, but the returns show a gain of 222 votes upon the last election, when he had only 341 majority. The majority for Governor is estimated at 9000 votes. Mr. Forsyth. Some days since we noticed the anticipated visit of Mr. Forsyth to Georgia, to reclaim the sinking fortunes of Loco Focoism, to which theatre he had been called by the drooping spirits who are now endeavoring to prop the Administration. In this dirty work, however, the office-seeking Secretary has been disappointed, by a painful malady which overtook him at Fredericksburg, Va., while on his way to Georgia, and he was compelled to decline Hie pleasure, but lias taken the occasion to send his “ loving friends ” a Circular, not “ hoping to find them in the same state of health,” but warn" ing them against abolition and its evil consequen ces. The Secretary, either from the influence of his bodily malady, or from that mental agony which a -plate man feels when anticipating defeat, has perpetrated a very weak and feeble Circular, and one for which the intelligent portion of his “r alued friends ” will not feel under many obligations, in their particular strait. He has not made the slight est attempt to defend the Administration on a sin gle charge that has been preferred against it, but has contented himself with an account of the pro gress of abolition in Europe, and concludes with a letter from the Pope of Rome to his brethren in Spain, in which he denounces siaveiy. Severe as the Secretary’s “ disorder ” may bo, we opine that the voice from Gcoigia, and the Union, will pro duce upon him who loves office so well, a disease, which will enable him to travel with more facility Irom Washington, than his recent effort has evinced. Since the above was in type, we have received a letter from a gentleman now at the North, con taining the following extract from his Washington Correspondent : “Mr. lorsyth started for Georgia a few days since—got as far as Fredericksburg, Va—heard that it was all up with him in Georgia—feigned sick—returned to Washington, and is now here more sick at heart, than in body.” The Ceusus. From the Savannah Georgian, we copy the fol lowing details of the Census of Camden county, in this State, which we believe is the first report we have seen of any county in the Ntate. W hile on this subject, we will again recur to the Census of Richmond county'. It is now some months since the appointment was made, and but a short time has to elapse, lefoie a report must be made, and nothing,that we car- hear, has been done. It is a nutter in which the whole people of Georgia are deeply and vitally interested, for it not unfre quently happens that a State loses a Representative in Congress fur the want of not a greater num cr of inhabitants than are now in the county of Rich mond. And yet, notwithstanding its importance not only to the pecple of this county but to the whole State, this work has been neglected, and en tirely omitted to this time. Are ths people willing to slumber over their rights in this manner, when it is so desirable to increase their influence in the National Councils ? Illinois. The Alton Telegraph of a late date says:— “ How the popular vote stands, still remains un certain, but the probab lily is, that the majority on either side will he inconsiderable.” Jacob F. Mintzikg has been elected Mayor of Charleston. A Voice of ’76.—The Newburg, N. A . Ga zette contains the following eloquent letter from Bexj-amix Eatox, one of the Life Guards ol General Washington. To the descendants of Revolutionary Soldiers : An old soldier of the Continental Army asks for the last time to speak to his countrymen. During the suffering service of the Revolution I was in sixteen engagements, and was one of the little band who volunteered under Sullivan to destroy “the Six Nations of Indians,” I was one of that small company selected as the Lift Guard of George Washington —but two of us are now living. I was at the tough seige of Yorktovvn, at Valley Forge, Monmouth, and thirteen oilier hard battles, and saw Cornwallis surrender to our old General. My service ceased or.ly with the war. After all this hardship and suffering, in the street when I go out m my old age to see the happiness I have helped to give you, I am pointed at as a British Tory —yes, a British Tort —I have said nothing when I have been told so, but have silently thought that my old General would never have picked out a Tory to form one of his Life Guard, nor would a Tory have suffered what I have suf fered for you. This abuse has been shamefully heaped upon one of your old soldiers because he is w'hat he was when the war broke out, and what Washington told us we must always be when lie shook hands with us as we all were going home I was a Whig in the Revolution, have been one ever since and am one now'. As a Whig I enlis ted for the whole war, was in favor with the oilier Whigs of Thomas Jefferson, went with the party for James Madison, was in favor of the last war, and to he consistent in my last vole, must give it for Gen. Harrison. He is a brave man, and was never known wherever he has been to take a penny from his neighbor or the Government that was not fairly his. We have trod over the same ground fighting for liberty. His father (he w'as one of the Revolution) signed our Independence roli, and then we all went out together to fight for it, and we proved it was true. It really appears to me that this cannot be the same government that our old soldiers helped Washington to put up here. We fought to have a Government as different from any in Europe as we could make it.— Well, we done it; and until laielv things have all gone on smoothly and Europe was begining to get ashamed of the way she made slaves of her subjects by making them work and toil for seven poor cents a day with a Standing army over them to force them to it. But our President now tells the people that things have gone wrong since the Old War, and there are twenty-three miserable governments in Europe where the Kings wear crowns, the rich purple, and the poor people rags, that we must fashion after them if we want to be happy and prosperous! We had English law's here once and they were the best in Europe, but w f e could’nt stand them and we put them under our feet. Wo used to work for mere nothing then, and we cannot do it again. Working for a few cents a day may I do for slaves, hut not for free men whose liberty cost more blood than liberty ever cost before; why, the very first thing that started the old war was the Standing Army that the King kept quar tered on us: we told him that we wanted no sol diers over us in lime of peace, but he refused to mind us and I saw Lord Cornwallis surrender up a part of them to honest George Washington. Our President now proposes to have a standing force —what for]—Bew'are ! Jefferson never asked for armed men tore-elect him or elevate his successor. Madison asked lor them only in the time of the late war, and warned the people when he left his office to be careful about keeping soldiers in time of peace. Our st eels are filled with idle men who were ac tive laborers once when employment was to be had. The men of enterpiize who once employ ed them have been ruined by the government. And now these honest but unemployed laborers are told by the government that when they go to work again they must do it for a few cents a day— that labor must be as cheap here as it is among the slaves of Cuba or the slaves of Europe. Ambition and ignorance on the part of our Government have shut up our shops and stores, scuttled our ships, filled our streets with idleness and bankruptcy and given no encouragement to the farmer as ho looks at his grain. Are not these things so] You know they are, and I have no motive in saying what may be false—l am too far advanced tor office or any thing else but death —it will soon be here. My little pension, and I thank you for it, will soon stop and I go home with the rest of the Life Guards. There is one remedy only for the safety of the country I have served. Put other men to stand at the tiller and round toe cables, and you will soon be back on the old Constitutional track. Gen. Harrison is honest, he never deceived you and he never lost a battle, and the People wont let him bse this- Accept my advice and you all have my blessing —my advice is that all of you become the Life Guards of the country, and my blessing is that your old age may have less fears for liberty than mme - BENJAMIN EATON. One of the two surviving Life Guards of George Washington. Newburgh, N- Y, Aug 28, 1810. A Tribute.— The delegation from Maury, at the Great Southwestern Convention, was prece ded by a large banner bearing a correct and fin ished likeness of the lamented Hugh L. White in the act of reading his Letter of Resignation to the Senate of the United States. To the right ot the portrait were the following lines : 4or sake of place, I will never cringe to power. You have instructed me to do those things winch, entertaining the opinions I do. I fear I would not he forgiven for, either in this world or in the next; and practising upon the creed I have long professed, I hereby tender you my resignation of the trust confided to me as one of the Senators of the State of Tennessee to the Congress of the United States.” On the reverse of the banner was painted an urn, sacred to the honored dead. This touching memento excited universal re mark, and as the line moved by it, hundreds of heads were involuntarily uncovered as they passed. J The steam ship President, and the Cambridge packet ship for Liverpool, the St. James for Lon don, and Utica for Havre, all sailed from N. Y. on the Ist jnst. for Europe. The President takes out 56 passengers and a light freight of Flour, with hut little specie The Utica takes out 100,- 000 Mexican dollars.

J Defence of the administration abandoned. So untcnably arc the acts of the Administra tion, that even the most unscrupulous of its par tizans have given up in despair the task of defence. They are perfectly sensible that the profligate waste of public money which nas marked the whole of Mr. Van Buren’s career, has shocked and will receive the unqualified condemnation of the People, and that their only hope ol escape from a just retribution is by diverting public atten tion from these enormities to some imputed dere liction of General Harrisou. It is with ths view that they rake up exploded calumnies from all quarters, and deal them out with new glosses and fresh infusions of malig nity. But all will not do. The People cannot be blinded to the facts— That Mr. Van Buren’s Administration has ex pended, per annum nineteen times as much as the Administration of Gen. Washington ; That it has expended, per annum, seven times as much as the Administrations ot John Adams and Thomas Jefferson ; That it has expended three times as much, per annum, as those of James Monroe and John Q. Adams; That it has expended twice as much, per an num, as that of Gen. Jackson; And, worse than all, that it has expended twice as much, per annum, as that of Mr Mad ison, notwithstanding the latter was engaged in a THREE YEARS’ WAR—had ships to build, a navy to equip, an army to recruit, military to pay in nearly all the States, and provisions and munitions of war to transport through the wilder nesses of the West. The People will not forget that Mr. Van Bu ren opposed the re-election of Mr. Madison at the most critical period of the war, not that, while thus engaged, the “Democratic General” (as Ritchie called Harrison) was overcoming innu merable difficulties on the arena of Hull's dis grace—was renovating the tarnished honor of the country —and eventually captured the united bands of Proctor and Tecumseh. Now will the People be satisfied with the an swer of Benton and Woodbury, that the expen ditures have been extraordinary. It is for the very reason that they have not only been extraor dinary. but monstrous, that the freemen of the country are about to hurl from power the pack of shameless plunderers, who, vampire-like, have for years deen exhaustting the nation’s life-blood, and paralyzing its energies.— Tick. Whig. Shipwreck and Loss of Life. The British ship New Grove, Couscns, mas ter, was lost upon the rocks off the East end of the island of Jamaica, on the night of August Ist, having left Port Morant on the morning of that day. She was driven upon the rocks by a strong current running to the Eastward. The captain, crew and one passenger, Mr. Sprouil, got into a boat, with such provisions, &c. as could be got together in haste, but as they were shoving off the sinking ship caught and upset the boat. Mr. Sprouil was drowned, but the others were all saved. It was supposed that Mr. Sprouil be came entangled in the rigging and was thus car ried down. He had been a wealthy proprietor in the island, but some years ago removed to Ireland; he was now on his return, having visi ted Jamaica to conclude the sale of his estates. The Jamaica Gazette contends earnestly for the erection of a light-house on Point Morant and another on Morant Keys, to the want of wh : ch the loss of the New Grove is attributed. From the Savannah Georgian. St. Marts, August 31, 1840. Dear Sir;—Annexed you have an abstract of the sixth census of Camden County ; it has increased since June, 1830, 1476 inhabitants. I am truly sorry to inform you that the Indians have murdered several of them since their names were placed on the schedule. Mr. Davis’ family was the first, at the head of the river near the Okefenoke Swamp, and contained seven; Mr. Patricks, nine; Mr. Combs six, and from report seventeen of those have been murdered. There were twenty-nine families in what is called the Big Bend of St. Marys River, ft is reported they have moved to Trader’s Hill, about thirty miles from where Davis was killed, which I hope is the case, for their settlements are from three to eight miles apart.

Phe same writer has furnished several entertaining and well written articles touching his travels, for the U. S. Gazette, in which paper the article below appears. Every Christian must respond to this broad philanthropy, which includes the rights and well being ot man every where. His information is peculiarly interesting, as being gathered on the theatre of occurences, and his sentiments arc the more to be respected because they a-e called forth by a personal observation of the indignities and cruelties practised upon the Jews : The Persecution of the Jews at Damas cus. Being in the neighborhood of Damascus about the commencement of the persecution ot the Jews in that city, I made myself acquainted with the facts of the case. A greater outiage on hu- I inanity was never committed. One ot the In ars of the Latin Convent in that place suddenly disappeared. He was an inoffensive, kind old man. who had, all his life, most ot which was passed in Damascus, being engaged in works ot i Christian charity, and was respected by men of ! all sects. The Jews, at the time of his disappear- I ance, were engaged in the performance of some I religious riles. A cry was immediately raised I by the Turks, that the Friar had been victimized in some sacrificial rite by the Jews. The Jews are oppressed to the last degree in all Musselman kingdoms, and no where more so, than in Syria and Palestine. In Smyrna, Constantinople, and Syria, they daily suffer the most atrocious wrongs; and though they arc among the industrious ot the people there, and constitute a body of the most valuable subjects, they are harrassed and hunted down like dogs, and treated with a con tumely that only long and patient suffering could make endurable. The disappearance of the Fri ar was immediately siezed by the Turks as an opportunity of • ung their spleen upon the poor Jews. If was asserted that the Jews, hav ing occasion for chrisftan blood, had carried off" the Friar, and made him a sacrifice.—The Tur kish authorities, delighted at an opportunity of extortion and revenge, with little or no ground of suspicion, set on foot a most horrid persecution. 'The only ground of suspicicion, was the find ing of a few rags in the Jewish Quarter which were said to be part of the cowl of the Monk. Upon examination, however, no identity could be established between the cowl and the rags. Upon this, however, a number of Jews were ex amined, and not divulging any thing, as they knew nothing, they, with many others, were put to the most infamous tortures. The ears of one were cut off', the noses of others: and of one his right eye was put out, and other cruellies resor ted to 100 disgusting to record. Terrified at these enormities, five Jews confessed, who had been submitted to these tor'uies confessed that they had murdered the Friar. The European Con suls interposed, and obtained their release, as it was evident that the charges against them could not bo substantiated, and as these confessions were nothing more than the cries of men for life in the agonies of torture. My fellow passenger in the packet from Bey rout to Alexandria, was the colleague of Mr. Nicholayson, the Missonary of Jerusalem. He was a converted Jew, and now a Christian j missionary to the Jews of Palestine and Syria. He knew the 'Talmud and ail the holy books of the Jews; and he told me, what of course I previously knew, that the presumption of a use of Chr.stian Mood in Jewish rites, was as repug nant to their feelings of humanity as absurd. He had examined minutely the whole affair, and he was then on his way to lay the mass of testimony he had collected before Mehemet Aii and the European Ministers at Alexandria. He men tioned that a Turkish butcher had frequently been heard to threaten the life of the Monk, for seme petty difference he had with him, and yet this man had never even been questioned. This gentleman, who thus so generously came forward as the Christain advocate for the Jews, was Mr. Peiritz; and I take pleasure in mentioning his name, even in this distant land, as an advocate of the persecuted and oppressed. He went to Alex andria, and there created such an excitement in this matter that the European Consuls, in a body, requested of the Pasha an investigation into the conduct of the authorities at Damascus. In the highest legislative body in the world—iheßiitish Parliament—tne voice of Christain statesmen has been heard exclaiming against this horrid revival ol the tortures of the Spanish Inquisition. It is a gratifying reflection to the friends of hu man! yto witnes the generous indignation tnat men of all sects feel upon this subject. The time has now came when, even in the most re mote corners of the world, and under the most unlimited and oppressive of despotic govern ments, the rights ot man be lie of what color or sect he may, cannot be invaded without exciting the indignant remonstrances of all Christendom. I have seen the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, hnd Jacob gathered from the four quarters of the world, around the site of the temple of their fore fathers at Jerusalem ; and never have I witness ed such an imposing spectacle of patient suffering, and heroic endurance, for opinion and conscience sake.

Shun, shun ye the wine cup, For madness is there; ’Tis the ruin of all things That’s gladsome and fair; ’Tis the blight of affection, The downfall of fame, And no hope can survive, The brealh of its shame. O, shun it when glad ones In revel are high —• When the song and the jest Are bright’ning each eye— When the tempter is waiting 'To blast with his siniic— Then heed not his seeming, ’Tis falsehood and guile. And quaff not the goblet 'To absent ones now — ’Twill tarnish the laurels That wrqath round their brow; Far beltci in silence Their names should remain, Than their rr em’ries should bear On their impress that stain. And banish the wine cup When woman is near— ’Tis the siioc that ships them Os all they hold dear — ’Tis the monster that hastens Their friends to their doom, And sinrs in his triumph His songs on their tomb. Then haste to the rescue — The banner is seen ; ’Tis as bright as the halo Os night’s beaming queen. On, on to tiie battle, bold hearted and brave ; And this is the watch-word, We conquer to save.
