Daniel Chandler, Esq.
Sir: The Members ol the Bar, usual
ly practicing in the Northern Circuit, and
who have betn for several years, associ
ated with you, in the piactice of the Law,
have learned, with regret your determina
tion to remove from the State; and, as a
testimony of their respect and esteem lor
your private and professional character,
have appointed us a Committee, to invite
you to partake of a Dinner, to be- given by
them, on such day of the present week, as
may suit your convenience.
Respectfully, your ob’t serv’ts.,
FRANCIS H. CONE,
BENJ. F. HARDEMAN,
GEORGE M. DUDLEY.
Committee.
Lexington, Oct. 20, 1835
Gentlemen:—Your polite note, re
questing me to “ partake of a Dinner, to
be given by the Members ofthe Bar, usu
ally practising in the Northern Circuit,”
hasjust been received. I duly appreciate
this manifestation of kindness, on the part
of my professional brethren; and will ever
regard this expression of their feelings,
with peculiar pleasure. It will afford me
great pleasure to meet the Members ofthe
Bar, on to-morrow evening, (if it will suit
their convenience, and that of the Court,)
and partake with them of their proffered
kindness. Be pleased to communicate to
my professional friends, my thanks for
"this testimony of their respect,” and ac
cept for yourselves, gentlemen, the con
siderations of my esteem.
Your’s, respectfully,
DAN’L CHANDLER.
Messrs. Francis H. Cone, Benj. F. Harde
man, and George M. Dudley,
In accordance with the letter of accep
tance the members of the Bar and many
Other gentlemen on the 21st inst. sat down
to a sumptuous dinner, prepared by Judge
Moore—Judge Andrews presiding, and
Col. William C. Dawson acting Vice
President—after the cloth was removed,
the following toasts were drank:
By the President— The memory of
Duncan G. Campbell.
By the Vice President—Personal
friendship and kind feelings, distinguish
ing characteristics of the Georgia Bar,
amidst the violence of political excitement
■—let us continue their cultivation.
By Francis H. Cone, Esq.—Our guest,
Daniel Chandler, Esq, -If talents can
command success, virtue secure esteem,
and learning, admiration, he is certain of
their attainment.
After the applause which succeeded
this sentiment had subsided, Mr. Chand
ler arose and addressed the company, as
follows :
Gentlemen:—l receive,with feelings
of the liveliest gratitude, this expression
of your friendly regard. It brings to rec
ollection the many favors you have be
stowed ; and while it cheers the sadness
of a parting hour, it casts a gloom upon
tha prospect of dissolving connexions,
that I have ever prized, and of separating
from friends whom I highly esteem.—lt
is painful to leave the land of my nativity.
Idelight totread its hallowed soil,to breathe
its balmy air, and to gaz-- upon its cloud
less skies. But, to part with friends,
whose virtues I respect, whose talents I
appreciate, and whose professional worth
I have ever admired, is a trial, that no
one realizes, who has never seriously
contemplated the certainty and approxi
mation of such nn ev.ent. It is indeed,
gentlemen, a trying time. The natural
feelings of the heart, the generous affec
tions of the soul, and the noble resolutions
of the mind, plead for antecedent attach
ments, cling to present pleasures, and
point, with shuddering apprehension, to a
prospect, that is to human ken, wrapped
in the darkness of futurity. After the best
reflection that I can bestow upon a ques
tion, in the determination of which incli
nation and interest have struggled for the
mastery, I have concluded to risk “my
all” in the fascinating and glowing City
of the South. Its bosom is extended to the
needy, the - nterprising, and the adventu
rous; and with a diffidence, that no one
can duly estimate, I shall cast rnySelf up
on its swelling greatness, hoping thereby
lo catch the spirit that is moving it on, to
an enviable distinction.
It is, gentlemen, no affectation of senti
ment, to state, that Heave you with great
reluctance. Our association has beeen to
me inter* sting, instructive, and profitable.
In your school, 1 have been professional
ly educated; by your example, 1 have
been directed, and in seceding from your
bosom, the object of your regard, with this
fresh “testimony of your respect,” you
increase the extent of my obligations, aud
exemplify the courtesy of your conduct.
The protession of the Law, is not only
honorable, but its Members are generally
characterized by liberality of feeling, ur
banity of deportment, disinterestedness of
conduct, and integrity of purpose. These
are prominent traits in the character of
the Members who usually practice in the
Northern Circuit. The kindness of their
feelings, is beautifully illustrated, in the
pleasure with which they meet after the
intervals of their Courts. Strangers to
the petty jealousies, that often distract oth
er professions, and superior totheen'ious
malignity, that would detract from anoth
er’s merit, they strike, with sincerity, the
hand of friendship, and read in each glad
some eye, language of a happy meeting.
May this attribute of a noble and cultiva
ted mind ever adorn a profession, that is
intimately connected with the dearest
rights of individuals, and the best interests
of society 1
I prefer, gentlemen, the short time that
remains,to reciprocate the usual civilities,
on such an occasion, be spent rather in
the pleasures of social intercourse, and the
interchange of kindly • sentiment, than in
the repetion of unavailing regrets, or the
acknowledgements of a heart-felt grati
tude. Be assured, that I shall never for
get your kindness, and this last act of our
profeesional intercourse, will ever be a
green spot in the waste of memory. In
conclusion, I would observe, that if inter
est, inclination, or duty, ever lead any of
you to my distant and contemplated Home,
it will be my pride and happiness, to give
you a friend’s reception, and to greet you
with a Brother's welcome. I offer, for your
acceptance, a sentiment, that cornes from
the depth of my hear:
The Members of the Bar, who usually
practice in the Northern Circuit—l know’
them well—l esteem them highly—God
bless them
By Benj. F. Hardeman, Esq.—The
memory of Th'mas W. Cobb, Esq.
By R. A. Toombs, Esq.—The memory
of John Marshall, late Chief Justice ofthe
United States—let these be energy and
zeal, on the front of the Bar of the United
States to perpetuate, by a suitable monu
ment, the memory of one, whose life and
talents were so long and so eminently use
ful to his country, and which shed such
lustre upon their profession.
By George R. Gilmer Esq—Our
guest —May he yet find it consistent with
duty to his State and himself, to give to
Georgia the benefit of his distinguished
talents, and to his friends the pleasure’to
be derived from his private worth.
By Albert G. Semmes—The memory
of the Hon. William H. Crawford—As
regards talents, Georgia never knew hie
equal, or the nation his superior.
By G. M. Dudley, Esq.—Alabama—
Soon to become the foster mother of one
of Georgia’s noblest and most gifted sons
—Let her cherish him as she ought, for
he will reflect the highest honor upon
her.
By William M’Kinly, Esq.— Daniel
Chandler—Nature’s nobleman—Georgia
bids him a reluctant and tender farewell.
By Daniel Chandler, Esq.—His Hon
or, Garnett Andrews —We honor him as
a Judge—admire him as a companion—
and esteem him as a friend.
After the warm response given this sen
timent by the company, Judge Andrews
rose, and said:
The flattering testimony of respect just
given by our esteemed guest, is valuable,
not only on account of the worth of its au
thor, but, also, because he is one of our
liberal pn.fession, usually practising in
the Northern Circuit. To you, gentle
men. I am in all sincerity, grateful for the
respect and court* sy, with which I have
betn treated,and for the indulgence shewn
to my errors, since I have had the honor
of presiding on the Bench of-this Ciicuit.
Your respectful and gentlemanly deport
ment has not only made my labors < asy,
but rendered the discharge of your profes
sional duties agreeable to yourselves.
The savage, in fighting for his country,
adds to the horrors of war, by an indul
gence in cruelty, which, contributing no
thing to his cau'e, swells, to a frightful
extent, the sum of human misery. The
civilized soldier, in struggling for victory,
. strikes every blow for his country, but
none for cruelly or revenge. The field of
battle, to him, is the field of honor and
chivalry, on which he exercises the strong
est talents of the head and best affections
and passions of the heart. The contrast
between the savage and the civilized sol
dier, in settling the quarrels of nations,
furnishes a striking comparison, as to
the manner in which our profession some
times adjusts the disputes between indi
viduals. A rude and vulgar Bar, renders
the practice of our profession, not only an
unpleasant, but almost a savage business.
But I am proud to say, that the courtesy
and good feeling of those practising in
this Circuit, have made the Courtroom
the arena for the display of talent, and the
agreeable civilities of gentlemen.
Gentlemen! lam truly thankful and
proud, that my lot has fallen among you.
With a sincere con’iciion of its truth, [
offer you the following sentiment:
The Members of the Bar, usually prac
ticing in the Northern Ciicuit— For court
esy, correct feeling, and talent, I will stake
them airainstthe field.
By Francis H. Cone, Esq.—The Bar
If they are never in default, in the dis
charge of professional duties, they will
r arely be non-suited, in the attainment of
professional success.
By George R. Gilmer, Esq.—The mem
try of Judge Dooly—he will long be re-
membered in the social celebration of our
profession, where wine and wit make the
pleasure ofthe feast.
By John Billups, Esq.—Mobile—-The
chosen residence of our valued friend—a
city progressing with unprecedented ra
pidity to the highest point of wealth and
renown, we trust her brilliant prospects
are emblematic of his success.
Many other sentiments were drank on
the occasion, that were not handed in.
During the festivities of the evening,
Messrs. Cone, Dawson, Toombs, Johnson,
and other gentlemen, delivered appropri
ate and highly interesting addresses, some
of which partaking fully of the deep, in
tense, and genuine feeling which the oc
casion naturally gave rise to, displayed in
the happiest manner, the beauty and the
richness of an intellectual eloquence, un
der the full inspirati n of excited genius
It is to be much regretted, that these ad
dresses, so creditable to the head and tal
ents of these gentlemen, were not submit
ted for publication. The company dis
persed at a late hour, having fully parta
ken of the kindness and hospitality of
th- ir woithy host, and enjoyed, with a full
flow of wit, the most enlivening songs, the
most humorous anecdotes, and best of
champaigne.

NOESHO,
the wild horse of the prairie
We have been favored by a friend with
the following extract of a letter from our
four er fellow citizen, E. W. B. Nowland,
Esq. giving a description of a wild horse,
captured for him in his native wilds, which
wiil be found peculiarily interesting to
thoseof our readers who wish to obtain a
cross of the pure blooded wild horse of
the prairie.
Fort Gibson, Sept. 1835.
Dear Sir—Judicious breeders, and prac
tical sportsmen in the United States, are
convinced that a cross in our running
stock is very desirable. They almost in
variably break down or train ofl’at too ear
ly an age. Recourse is had to England,
but most ofthe latter importations partake
ofthe Herod and Eclipse bloods, and ma
ny of them trail through Diorned, from
whom are nearly all our horses of repute.
The value of a racer—nay, of any blood
horse, depends greatly on his lastingness
and to give that property is the object.—
An Arabian or a Barb from the Deserts,
or a thorough Turk of the requisite form,
would be most likely to remedy the defects
in our stock..
Buckport, and many other of the Eng
lish racers of foreign origin, showed last
ingness as well aspeed, in an eminent de
gree. But lately the pure foreign horses
seem not to be attainable, and therefore
some look With confidence on our native
wild horses of the prairie,who areofßarb
and Andalusian origin; and I am of those
who believe the experiment should be
made, when an animal of the requisite
form and action can be procured.
A band of Osage Indians, hunting on
the head Waters of Washita and Blue Ri
vers in May, 1834, succeeded in captur
ing the gallant grey, Neosho, after a chase
from sun-rise till dark. When larietted,
he proved to be so ungovernable, that the
Indians found it necessary to keep him se
veral days confined without food or water,
in order to render him manageable. In
his efforts to extricate himself from his
confinement, he wounded his head and
legs badly. He was purchased by an
officer of this post, who arrived with him
here, a distance of nearly two hundred
and fifty miles, much emaciated. After
his arrival, he repeatedly threw every one
who dared to back him, and among others
a most splendid horseman ofthe Caman
che tribe of Indians, who bold! v proclaim
ed he could ride any horse living. Thin
was the most interesting feat of horseman
ship 1 ever witnessed—for here was the
horse in all its native wildness, mounted
by a savage not less wild, hoth contending
for the mastery —the Indian was at last
hurled from his back, and the horse tri
umphed— He is now,however, after much
gentle treatment, entirely manageable and
in good condition.
Noesho is a light dapple grey, about
fourteen and a half hands high; his head
is bony, fine muzzle and expanded nos
trils, with a prominent sparkling eye and
pointed ears; has a fine chest and flowing
mane; long shoulder blades, well declin
ing into the sway, with withers strong
back and arched loins,and couples strong;
deep in the brisket, fine barrel and beauti
ful curbed ribs, long -rms and things,
broad cannon bones, with strong tendons
neatly fluted, all of the finest texture;
fine pasterns, and hoofs cupped and ofthe
finest horn; dock strong and supporting
a fine coat of hair almost sweeping the
ground. He is peculiarily majestic in
his appearance, bold and elastic in all his
paces, and shows throughout, a native
dignity and nobility of blood.
I have procured this noble animal for
Tennessee, and he may be expected at
Nashvile by the earliest rise of the waters
for the inspection of breeders and connois
seurs.
E. W. B. NOWLAND.
The Lexington (Ky.) Intelligencer of
the 9th inst., referring to a statement
which has gone the rounds, of a persona!
difficulty in Court between M. Clay and
Mr Woolley, says:
“ It is true that an unpleasant difficulty
occurred in the Court House, between
Mr. Clay and Major Woolley, but, as the
matter has been amicably and honorably
arranged, by a prompt and full apology
on the part of the individual from whom
it was supposed an apology was due, we
do not think it necessary or proper to state
any of the particulars of the occurrence.”
AUGUSTA,
FRIDAY', OCTOBER 30, 1835.
During a short absence, any business,
in which I may be interested, will receive at
tention from Andrew J. Miller, Esq., while
the business of the Ccnrier Office will be con
ducted by Mr. Douglass, whom our customers I
will find, as usual, ready and prompt to accom- i
plish their wishes J. G. M’WHORTER.
COTTON. —In the early part ofthe week
the market was in a depressed state, and sales
were difficult to make at the rates of the previ
ous week; but on Tuesday and Wednesday a
more active demand was experienced, and an
advance of J cent was obtained. Yesterday,
news was received from Liverpool to the 27th
Sept., which caused a depression in the market
and prices receded }to J cent. We quote ex
tremes, to-day, at 13 to 14J.
Death by Poison.— The death of Mr. Wm.
Brvson, of this city, which we announced in
our last, it isfirmly believed, was occasioned by
poison, clandestinely administered in his food.
The subject is undergoing investigation, and
the servents suspected have all been arrested.
The packet ship Independence, from Liver
pool, 27th September, arrived at New York,
brings no political intelligence of importance.
The New York American of Friday evening
has the following parragraph, in relation to our
French claims, contained in a letter,dated Paris,
September 16:
“ There is a rumer here that M. de Roths- I
child has asked for his first payment, on account I
of the 25 millions, but the Minister of Finances
did not pay.”
We have been informed, says the Gazette,
that Mr. Rothschild did make the above de
mand, and that the reason given for his not re
ceiving the first instalment of the money, was,
that France waited the asked for apology or ex
planation from this Government.
The census ofthe city of New York, as far
as it has been taken shows a material disparity
in the relative numbers of males to females - . It |
is stated in *be Herald that eleven out of the *
fifteen wards show an excess of 10,577 females
over the males; and it is supposed that when the
census is completed the surplus females will
reach 12,000!
We are happy to observe,says the Floridian,
that Mr. Gray is progressing rapidly with his
contract on the St. Marks Rail Road. The
completion of this work will constitute a new
era in the prosperity of Tallahassee.
ABOLITIONISTS.
The recklessness and impudence of these
deluded and criminal wretches, in pushing for
ward their machinations against the South, in
opposition to the most emphatic expression of
public opinion, at home, has at length aroused
in th* public mind such fearful indignation as
threatens their utter execration, and perhaps
extermination. In Uiica, N. Y., where they
were about to establish their head quarters, they
have been completely routed. The citizens of
that place have set their faces against the dis
grace which would have been attached to them,
had they suffered these vile aggitators to pro
gress unmolested in the proceedings ofthe con
vention which had assembled there, in spite
of the warning voice of popular prohibition.
In Boston, the famous Garrison has met with
a foretaste of the fate he has long been provo
king, and which, but for respect for the Jaws of
the community would have been meeted out in
full compliment to his deserts. The almost
unanimous opposition which has been manifest
ed to his criminal course, has only caused him
to become more and more insolent, till at length
he has openly assailed the character and mo
tives of his fellow citizens, and rendered him
self so obnoxious to public indignation that he
will be obliged to retire from his occupation out
of a dread of that violence and bloodshed which
he has labored so zealously to inflict upon oth
ers.
The following extracts from Northern papers
will give some idea of the state of excitement
which prevails wherevei the no'orious leaders
of this crusade against Southern rights attempt
to impose themselves upon the public :
“ Proceedings at Utica.— An interest
ing letter, says the Commercial Adverti
ser of the 24th inst. from a highly respec
table gentleman in Utica, enables us to fur
nish the reader with full information
touching the proceedings of the Abolition
Convention, as well on the part of the Con
vention, as the people in opposition to that
body. It also enables us to contradict the
tales of actual outrage and violence, which
were circulated in this city yesterday by
the Abolitionists themselves—one of their
number having ariived, like the solitary
messenger of evil to inform Macbeth thatj
Birmanwood had actually came to Dun
sinane. It appears, however, that in pur
suance of resolutions the people assem
bled in the court room on Wednesday
morning, at nine o’clock, but did not or
ganize and commence business much be-i
fore ten o’clock.
“A preamble and resolutions were
passed reiterating their sentiments in re-;
lation to the proposed Convention, and
protesting in the strongest terms against
its assembling within the bounds of the
city. By one of the resolutions a commit
tee of twenty-five was appointed to wait up
on the delegates to the Convention and
urge them not to assemble, and warn
them of the consequences of persisting in
their designs.
“The Committee were instructed to wait
upon and request the Mayor to act as their ;
Chairman. He thought it right to de-'
cline, on accountof his official station, not
knowing but he might possibly be called
upon to act in his character as a peace of
ficer. He, of course, entirely approved 1
ofthe proceedings and objects of our meet- :
ing. The Committee excused him, and'
having appointed Judge Hayden, Chair
man, proceeded to the Bleeker-street
Church, where the abolitionists had con
vened, and, as was understood, were mak-'
ing all haste in their proceedings. There
had been so much (unavoidable) delay on I
the part of the meeting at the court room,
that the multitude which had surrounded 1
the Church became impatient, and took
the liberty of opening the doors in rather
» summary way, so that when the Com-
mittee arrived a passage was made for
them into the body of the Church. When
they entered, Mr. Lewis Tappan was read
ing a declaration of the opinions or rights
or some such matter, which he persisted
in finishing, notwithstanding there was
such an uproar that not one syllable could
be heard. Order was finally restored,
and the resolutions from the Court room
was read by J. W. Williams, on behalf of
the committee. Mr. Tappan then moved
the appointmentof a committe of ten from
theCoveniion to meet our committee at the
court house, but the people deeming this
a refuse for delay, would notallow it. A
consultation was had among the officers,
and it was announced that the convention
would adjourn, sine die. This was re
ceived with acclamation, but it was insist
ed that the members should immediately
leavethe house and disperse; and it was
also insisted that the official account of
their proceeding should be given up to the
committee of cit zens. The Rev. Mr.
Wetmore was officiating as Secretary, and
refused to part with his papers. By walk
ing on men’s shoulders and the tops of
pews, a gentleman was able to reach the
Chairman’s table, and at once prevailed
upon theiSecretary to surrender his min
utes. As soon as they were obtained,
some 2 or 4 seized the gentleman who had
them, by the legs, and elevating him up
on their heads, enabled him to proclaim
to the crowd, that their object was obtain
ed. The multitude,members and all,then
left the Church, and the committee return
ed to the Court room and reported.
The members of the Convention made
all reasonable diligence to leave the city.
It is rumored that they intend to re-as
semble to-morrow morning at Peterboro.
While in the Church, Judge Hayden
made a short address for the purpose of
allaying the tumult and preventing vio
lence. There was not the slightest violence.
There is not the slightest doubt but the
meeting at the court house, and its action
through the committee, saved the church
from the destruction,and perhaps the mem
bers of the Convention, from the tender
mercies of an infuriated populace. If
they had refused to receive the committee
or if they had attempted to continue
their meeting, no power on earth could
have saved the church from being torn
down upon the heads of its occupants
It is now half past SP. M. The members
ofthe convention have left the city, all is
quiet.
Postscript— 7 o'clock, P. M.— We
have just learned that the printing materi
als of the Standard and Democrat office,
the Abolition paper in this city, have
been thrown out of the windows on the
walk!
ANTI-SLAVERY RIOT IN BOSTON.
The immediate cause of the riot is thus stat
ed in one of the Boston papers :
"After the appearance of a succession
of inflammatory articles in the Liberator,
highly insulting to the feelings of a great
majority ofour fellow citizens, attacking
with a frantic maliciousness their charac
ter and motives, manifesting an insolent
defiance of public, opinion, and a determi
nation to persist in braving it— a notice
was yesterday issued, that the female an
ti-slavery society would hold a meeting
that afternoon, when it would be address
ed by several gentlemen—among whom
it is said Thompson and Garrison was to
speak.
“In consequence of the general suspi
cion that the notorious Thompson would
be present on the occasion, a large assem
blage of citizens collected in front of the
building No 46 Washington street, with
the determination of intercepting the for
eign fellon as he entered the door. Soon
afierwards sever J individuals among the
crowd went up into the hall ofthe Aboli
iionists, and threw out of the window all
of the tracts and papers of the society
which were speedily destroyed by those
in the streets.
About 3 o’clock the people crowded the
stairway to the hall, and some thirty wo
men, black and white,were observed with
in. Garrison was the only male charac
ter among the women, and he soon de
camped, and withdrew to another room.
The mayor of the city, Mr. Lyman, soon
entered, and recommended the women to
withdraw, and extricate themselves from
the tumult. They complied, and march
ed down stairs in couples,black and white
arm in arm. The mayor addressed the
people, and stated emphatically that
Thompson was not in the city, and re
quested the people to disperse peaceably.
The general expression then was to take
down a large sign on the third story, on
which was painted “Female Abolition So
ciety Room.” Some of our most respecta
ble citizens then went deliberately, and
in a peaceable manner, and drew out the
hooks that supported the sign, and were
about to take it into the window. The
people below then demanded that the sign
should be lowered down, and the people
immediately broke it to pieces. This was
at about half past 3 o’clock, and most of
the spectators, amounting to some 2000,
departed in peace.
Meantime Garrison passed through the
building to the rear, and got out of a win
dow twenty-five feet from the ground, on a
couple of boxes, placed on a small back
building. In stepping on the boxes they
gave way, and he fell on the roof of the
small building, and was like to have been
participated to the ground, twelve or fif
teen feet below. He recovered himself
however, and decended hastily to the yard
and thence into a carpenter’s shop, where
he ensconced himself under some boards
and shavings.
The Boston Atlas says.—He was found
crouched under a pile of boards in the se
cond story of a carpenter’s shop,and there
he surrendered at discretion. A rope
was fastened under his arms and about
his neck, and he was let down by means
of a ladder to the ground. His counten
ance was pale and convulsed with terror,
and he made no attempt to speak or to re
sist. There was a general exclamtion of
“don't hurt him;” and two individuals
seizing him on each side by the collar, he
was conducted through the lane into State
street, and frortl thence hurried into the
mayor’s office iil the city hall. The
crowd remained outside, and at one time
We Should think that from four to five
thousand persons were assembled in the
street. The mayor made his appearance
at the portico, and addressed the multitude
in a brief and judicious speech. The
crowd, however, did not disperse; and on
the approach of a carriage toward the op
posite door, for the purpose of removing
Garrison, the agitation of the multitude
evidently increased.
The doors of the vehicle were thrown
open, and such was the press upon the
horses and the coach, that it was several
times nearly upstt. By the exertions of
the mayor, Garrison was securely placed
in the coach, which was driven at some
speed up Court street, followed by a large
concourse. The coachman was directed
to drive to the jail in Leverett st. a war-'
rant of committal having been issued a
gainst Garrison, as a public agitator and
disturber of the peace. In order to elude
pursuit, the coachman drove at a rapid,
rate, and took a circuitous route, so as to
approach the jail from the bottom of Le
verette street. He was hardly a moment
in advance ofthe crowd, and Garrison
had barely time to give one leap from the
coach towards the door of the jail to es
cape the shock of the opposing crowds,
which were rushing towards him from
different ends of the street. He sank ex
hausted upon a seat, exclaiming, that
“ never was a man so rejoiced to get into
a jail before.” The door being closed up
on him, the immense assemblage in front
gradually dispersed.
Thus (says the Centinel) have thepeo-.
pie of this city expressed their decisive re
probation, of the outrageous perseverance
of fanatics, in disturbing the public with
harrangues on abolition, and we hope that
this will be the last attempt of agitators to
continue their practices under the shelter
of females,
George Thompson.— We learn, (says
the N. Y. Mer. Adv. and Advocate) that
this notorious individual has taken coun
sel of his fears and fled thecountry. He
sailed in the ship Hilah, for Liverpool
which got to sea on Friday afternoon.
The People of the Territory of Michi
gan having, during the last summer as
sembled in convention, and formed a State
Constitution, proceeded, on the sth and
6th instant, agreeably to its provisions, to
the election of a Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Members of Congress, Mem
bers of the State Legislature, tec.; and
when the Legislature meets, it will ap
point two Senators to Congress, who,
with the Representative, will, at the next
session, present the Constitution of the
new State, and ask its admission into the
Union, and their admission to their seats.
Whether the application will be success
ful or not we cannot undertake to say.
The usual mode of admitting a new mem
ber into the Confederacy is, first, by act of
Congress, to authorize it to form a Con
stitution, which being presented and ap
proved by Congress, the new State is ad
mitted into the Union on the same footing
as the original States,
Whatever be the fate of the application
from Michigan at the next session of Con
gress, it is the design of the People, we
understand, no longer to recognize the
Territorial forms or authorities, with the
exception ofthe Judiciary branch—but, in
all other respects, to proceed under their
Constitution and State Government as
though it had been santionedby Congress.
How they mean to dispose of the Terri
torial Governor, Legislative Council,
Delegates, &c., we are not advised.— Nat.

Formidable Rival.— There is a report
in circulation, says the Alexanderia Ga
zette, that Messrs. Stockton, Calvert and
others, capitalists, are about to level and
McAdamize the Washington and Balti
more Turnpike Road, and run there
on Locomotive Carriages—after the mo
del of those employed on some of the
turnpike roads in England. If this re
port be correct, and we do not know how
correct it may be, the Baltimore and
Washington a will have Rail Road formi
dable rival. We believe the Locomotives
on common roads can be made to run as
fast,or nearly so, as the steam cars with
their trains, on a rail road
New Castle, (Del.) Oct. 22.
We were called upon as a Juror, yes
terday, to examine the dead bodies of three
negroes found packed in tierces, similar
in make and size to those used for pack
ing fine New Orleans sugar. It appears
they were forwarded from Baltimore to
Philadelphia by the Union Line Compa
ny, and labelled “H. G. Francis.”*
They were put on shore at this place on
account of the disagreeable odour that
came from them while lying on board of
the steamboat; and upon a suggestion be
ing made that they contained human flesh,
one of the tierces was opened, which was
occupied by two female negroes packed
face to face; the casks were accordingly
removed from the wharf to the public bu
rying ground,and there opened,and an in
quest of twelve men called to examine the
bodies, who returned a verdict “that the
said persons came to their death by means
unknown to this Jury.” The decomposed
state in which the bodies were found pre
vented a thorough examination of the
same; the necks of the two females ap
peared to have been dislocated, and the
nose of the one broken, together with the
eyes nearly forced from their sockets.
Whether this was done previous to their
death, or caused by forcing them into the
tierce, is uncertain. One of the females
was nearly white, the other a bright yel
low. They were all without any cover
ing, and packed in straw and corni blade*.
