The file of the “State Rights Sentinel” for IS3G has been borrowed from ojLr office by some person who has omitted to retufn it.

The returns from this State *re from 36 towns, which giveSjthe Whig candidate 10,003 votes, ma jority over his Locofoco competitor—again of 7213 over the vote of last year. From the remaining CongyesGonal district, (Fletcher’s, Locofoco,) we hav? not full returns, but the returns sho w a gain of 122 votes upon the last election, when he had only 341 majority. The majority for Governor if estimated at 9000 votes. Mr. Forsyti|, Some days since we noticed tj|ie anticipated visit of Mr. Forsyth to Georgia, to i|iclaim the sinking fortunes of Loco Focoisin, to wjfdch theatre he had been tailed by the drooping spirits who are now endeavoring to prop the Adm inistration. In this dirty work, however, the office-seeking Secretary has been disappointed, by a painful malady which overtook him at Fredericksbuig, Va., while on his way to Georgia, and he was compelled to decline the pleasure, but lias taken the occasion to send liis “ loving friends' ’ a Circular, not “ hoping to find them in the same state of |eath,” but warn' ing them against abolition and l ts evil consequen ces. The Secretary, either fnjm the influence of his bodily malady, or from that Cental agony which a place man feels when defeat, has perpetrated a very weak and eeble Circular, and one for which the intelligent portion of his “raffed friends ” will not feel under many obligations, in their particular strait. He has .hot 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, >ind concludes with a letter from the Pope of Ron*' to his brethren in Spain, in which he denounces Slavery. Severe as the Secretary’s “ disorder ” may be, we opine that the voice from Georgia, and the Union, will pro duce upon him who loves office so well, a disease, which will enable him to trave l 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 noy at the North, con taining the following extractom his Washington Correspondent : “Mr. Forsyth started for Georgia a few days since—got as far as Frederi iksburg, Va—heard tiiat it was all up with him ja Georgia—feigned sick—returned to Washington, and is now here, more sick at heart, than in body.” The Ceusits. 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 tbi* State. While on this subject, we will again recur to the Census of Richmond county. 1 1 is now sonic months since the appointment was made, and but a short time has to elapse, leloie a Eeport must be made, and nothing,that we car. hear has been done. It is a matter in which the whole people of Georgia arc deeply and vitally interested, for it not unfre quently happens that a State loses a Representative in Congress for ihe want of not a greater mini cr of inhabitants than are now in the county of Rich mond. And yet, notwithstanding its importance not only to the pec pie of this county but to the whole State, this work lias been neglected, and en tirely omitted to this time. Are the people willing to slumber over their rights in this manner, w hen it is so desirable to increase their influence in the National Councils ? | Illinois. j The Alton Telegraph of a late date says:— “ How the popular vote stands, still remains un certain, but the probability is, that the majority on either side will he inconsiderable.” Jacob F. Mintzikg has been elected Mayor of Charleston. A Voicr of ’76.—The Newburg, N. T . Ga zelle contains the following eloquent letter from Benjamin Eaton, one of the Lite 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 Life Guard of George Washington —but two of us are now liv ng. I was at the tough seige of York town, at Valley Forge, Monmouth, and thirteen other hard battles, and saw Cornwallis surrender to our old General. My service ceased or. ly with flie war. After all this hardship and suffering, in the street when I go out in my old age to see the happiness I have helped to I give you, I am pointed at as a British Tort 1 —yes, a British Tory —l have said nothing j when I have been told so, but have silently thought that my old General would never have picked nut 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 j heaped upon one of your old soldiers because he I is what he was when the war broke out, and what I Washington told us we must always be when he | 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 o'her Whigs of Thomas Jefferson, went with the party for James Madison, was in favor of the last war, | and to be consistent in my last vote, must give it for Gen. Harrison. He is a biave 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 was 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.— Weil, we done it; and until lately 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 a-my over them to force them to it. But our President now tells the people that things have gone wrong since the Uld 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 fwe want to be happy and prosperous! We had English laws here once and they were the best in Europe, but we 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 do for slaves, but rot 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 vve wanted no sol diers over is in time of peace, but he refused to mind us and I saw Lord Cornwallis surrender up a part cf them to honest George Washington. Our President now proposes to have a standing force—what fori—Beware ! 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 cartful about keeping soldiers in time of peace. Our st eels are tilled with idle men w ho were ac tive laborers once when employment was to he 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 us 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 oi, r ships, filled our streets with idleness and bankruptcy and given no encouragement to the farmer as ho looks a*, his grain. Are not these things sol You know they are, and 1 have no motive in saying what may he false—l am too far advanced for 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 1 go home with the rest ot the Lite 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 the 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 lose tins- Accept m\ advice and you all have my blessing —my advice is that all of you become the Life Guards ot 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. J Ntwui RGH, 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 of the portrait were the following lines : “ b or the sake ot place, I will never cringe to power. Vou have instructed me to do those things which, entertaining the opinions I do, I fear I would not be forgiven for, either in this world or in the next; and practising upon the creed I ha-'e long professed, I hereby lender you my resignation of the trust confided to me as one of the Senators of the Slate 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. 3 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. Four steam packets will be in from the old world this mouth : the British Queen, which sailed from London on the Ist; the Brittannia, from Liverpool, the 4th; the Great Western, from Bristol, on the 12ih, and the Caledonia, from Liverpool, on the 15th.

Jnir, J Defence ofllte administration abandoned. So untonably are the acts of the Administra tion, that even the most unscrupulous of its par tizans have given up in despair the task ofdclence. They are perfectly sensible that the profligate waste of public money which aas marked the whole of Mr. Van Suren's career, has shocked and will receive the unqualified condemnation of the People, and that their only hope of 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 j 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 Hu ron 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 Tecumsch, 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 exhauslting the nation’s life-blood, and paralyzing its energies.— -Hick. Whig. Shipwreck and Loss of Life. The British ship New Grove, Cousens. 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 he got together in haste, hut 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 svas 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 wlrcli the Joss ot the New Grove is attributed.

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 liver near tlio Okefenoke Swamp, and contained seven; Mr. Patricks, nine; Mr. Combs six, and from report seventeen of those have been murdered.

An intelligent traveller, we suppose a Phila delpian, who has made the tour of Palestine, gives the following interesting information, rela tive to the persecution of the Jews there. The same writer has furnished several entertaining and well written articles touching his travels, lor the U. S. Gazette, in which paper the article below appears. Every Christian must respond ' to this broad philanthropy* which includes the j rights and well being of man every where. His i information is peculiarly interesting, as being i gathered on the theatre of occurences, and his j sentiments arc the more to be respected because I they a~c called forth by a personal observation I of the indignities and cruellies practised upon | the Jews ; The Persecution of the Jews at Damas cus. Being in the neighborhood of Damascus about the commencement of the persecution ol the Jews in that city, I made myself acquainted with the facts of the case. A greater outiage on liu- j I inanity was never committed. One of the 1* ri ; ars of the Latin Convent in that place suddenly I disappeared. He was an inoffensive, kind old man. who had, all his Hie, most ot which was I passed in Damascus, being engaged in works ol ; Christian charilv, and was respected by men of ; all sects. The Jews, at the time of his disappear ance, were engaged in the performance ot some religious rites. A cry was immediately raised 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 Musselrnan kingdoms, and no where more so, than in Syria and Palestine. In Smyrna, Constantinople, and Syria, they daily suffer the most atrocious wrongs; j and though they are among the industrious of the people there, and constitute a bodv ol tire most valuable subjects, they are harrassed and bunted down like dogs, and treated with a con- I tuniely that only long and patient suffering could ■ make endurable. The disappearance of the Fri i ar wjs immed'ately siezed by the Turks as an opportunity of •u.ng their spleen upon the poor Jews. It was asserted that the .ie.vs, hav ing occasion for Christian blood, had carried off the Friar, and made him a sacrifice.—The Tur kish authorities, delighted at an opportunity of extonion and revenge, with little or no ground of suspicion, set on foot a most horrid persecution. The only ground of suspiciclon, was the find ing of a few rags in the Jewish Quarter which wore 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 Jew.® were ex amined, and not divulging any thing, as they knew nothing, they, with many others, were pul Ito the most infamous tortures. Theears of one j were cut off, the noses of others; and of one his | right eye was put out, and other cruelties rcsor ; ted to too 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 be 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 roul to Alexandria, was the colleague of Mr. ' Nicholayson, the Missonary of Jerusalem. He was a converted Jew, and now a Christian 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 Christian Mood in Jewish rites, was as repug i mint 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 some 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. Peirilz; 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 tire Pasha an investigation into the conduct of the authorities at Damascus. In the highest legislative body in the world—the Biitish Parliament—tne voice of Christain statesmen has been heard exclaiming against this horrid revival of the tortures of the Spanish Inquisition. It is a gratifying reflection to the friends of hu manity to witne-s the generous indignation tnat men of all sects feci 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 of man be he of what color or sect he may, cannot lie invaded without exciting the indignant remonstrances of all Christendom. I have seen the descendants of Abraham, Isaac bird 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. Though I could not hut wonder at the tenacity ot their prejudices, and their want of en iightcnment on the events which have transpired in the Christian era, yet I could not but sympa thize with their sufferings under persecution, and he reminded that being men, thev have the rights ofmen - * E.J.

Kinney, by puh ~ brought her to this city on Sunday night, gi,.[ was simply brought into court to havu the com plaint read to her, and immediately withdrawn At the request of her counsel, the sheriff iriv , her a carte blanche as to the style in which her room in piison should be fitted up for her cm fortablc accommodation, and. after taking din-m with Mr. Adams, she was conducted to "her dr cumscribed quarters in jail. In several papers her personal attractions hav been emblazoned, as if she were a second Cleo patra, whose fascinating glance was irresistible to mrrtal man, and could Jure the sex to jnev table perdition; but the fact is, Mrs. Kj nnev simply a d irk-complexioned, decent Iookin» \ v ■ man, somewhere between the latitudes of g. five and forty. In conversation, she is f rat ,j, easy and intelligent, and the expression of her countenance, for the time being, unaffectedly amiable, and nothing more. As for the brilliant flashing of her eye, we might as well sneak of striking a light with a piece of India-rubber, her present severely trying predicament, her eon, versatlon and demeanor are characterized bv iL e most scrupulous propriety. Not a look, g,>t Ule or accent, betokening bravado or tbol hardiness has escaped her on the one hand, nor any p X i piession of conscience-stricken weakness, or - u |; t . confessing aversion of glance, on the other’, Las 1 been detected, since Mr. Clapp first met her at Thelford. In relation to the reports about her dangerous charms, she yesterday related an amusing denoue ment, which occurred on her so called “ raoid flight ” to Concord. 1 I While going from Nashua to Concord, in the stage, two ladies, utter strangers to her, comm* n- I ceil a conversation about the “ horrid poison case I in Boston.'’ Says one—“ Her name is Kinney, and she is one of those jilting beauties who know' how to attract the men, and lead them where she has a mind to. When she was a widow, she came uo to Lowell, and dashed about till she got a \vav the Rev. Mr. Freeman from the daughter of the woman he boarded with, when every body thought he would have married her as a matter of course, as he had hoarded a long time in the family ” “ replied her friend, “and the strongest circumstance against her now is, that she i m g away the very next day after her husband was 1 buried.* But I guess that her rig is now up. an j that is the last husband she will finish.” While in the stage, Mrs. Kinney listened in silence to this charitable coll, quy ; but upon her arrival at the hotel in Cone-rd. the invited one ol her censors into her chamber—(the other had proceeded on her journey)—and after a little preparatory conversation, Mrs. Kinney asked tier d s!ie had not been talking in the stage about the poison case. The stranger replied “Yes,” and Mrs. K. then said she had overheard part of the conversation, and should like to hear the whole of it. The garrulous guest complied with her request, with embellishments, and then, after a shoit pause, Mrs. Kinney said to her—“l am the Mrs. Kinney you have been talking about!” i he lady was literally dumbfounded by this discovery, and attempted to apologise to Mrs. Kinney as well as she might. Mrs. K.. by her genuine affability ol manners, soon however, re lieved her from her embarrassment, and acquired her friendly sympathy. * Mrs. Kinney left Boston eleven days after Mr. Kinney s funeral, and five days after she bad been informed that he had died of poison, a»d | that she-was suspected of administering if. Mr. K. was subject to fits of low spirits, and he was in very embarrassed circumstances.

Shun, shun ye the wine cup, For madness is there ; ’Tis tbe ruin of all things That’s gladsome and fair; ’Tis the blight of affection, The downfall of fame, And no hope can survive, 'i he breath of its shame. O, shun it when glad ones In revel are high— When the song and the jest Are bright’tang each eye— \N lien the tempter is waiting To blast with his siniic— Then heed not his seeming, ’Tis falsehood and guile. And quail’not the goblet To absent ones now — ’Twill tarnish the laurels That wrgath round their brow; Far bettei in silence 'Their names should remain, Than their nr. cm Ties should bear On their impress that stain. And banish the wine cup When woman is near— ’ Tis the siioc that sti ips them Os all they hold dear — ’Tis the monster that hastens Their friends to their doom, And 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 the buttle. Raid hearted and brave ; And this is the watch-word, We conquer to save.
