"'i thought I beheld in his election on awful
foreboding of the late which nt some future
I ., rtt y to God tlmt, if it ever arrive, it may
be some far distant) day was'to befall this
infant Republic. All past history bad ini
ressed on my mind ibis solemn appielien
gion, nor is it effaced or weakened by con
teinporaneous events passing upon our own
favored continent. It is remarkable, that
at this epoch, at the head of eight of the
nine Independent Governments, established
in both Americas, military officershave been
placed or have placed themselves. General
Lavalle lias, by military force, subverted the
Republic of La Plata ; Gen Santa Cruz is
the Chief Magistrate of Bolivia; Col. Pinto
of Chili; Gen. La Mar of Peru ; und Gen.
Bolivar of Colombia. Central America rein
in pieces, and bleeding at every pore, from
the wounds inflicted by contending milita
ry factions, is under the alternate sway of
their Chiefs. In the Government of oar
Dearest neighbour, un election, conducted
according to all the requirements of theff
bons'.ito^l^W^ l/een terminated with a
^^Ttlie tholes in favor of Pedraza
fje civil candidate. An insurrection was
raised in behalf of his military rival, the cry,
B»t exactly of bargain, but of corruption,
was sounded; the election was nnnull d,
ami a reform effected, by proclaiming Gen.
Guerrero, having only a minority of the
Stums, duly elected President. The thun
ders from the surrounding forts, and the ac
clnnwtions of die assembled multitude on
lie 4th. told ii« wluit General was at the
head of our affairs. Iris true, and in tins
■espeot we arc happier than some of the A-
mrricau States, that his election has not been
brought about by military violence. The
forms of the constitution have yet remained
inviolate.
In re-nsserting the opinion which I hold,
nothing is further from my purpose than to
treat with the slightest disrespect those of
my fellow citizens here, or elsewhere, who
may entertain opposite opinions. The fact
sneaking and exercising the free arid in
^ftideut expression of the dictates of my
own deliberate judgment, affords the strong
cst guaranty of tny full recognition of their
oorrespoiiding privilege.

SATURDAY, MARCH 36, 1839.
Tin: Senate of the United States adjourned on
the 17th int. The Telegraph of YViisliington
says upwards of one bundled military und naval
nominations were confirmed during the late sit
ting, comprising the whole of those nominated by
President Jackson and Ids predecessor.
Refore T ait down, I avail myself, with
pleasure, of this opportunity to make my
grateful acknowledgments for the courtesies
uttd friendly attentions which I huve uni
formly experienced from tho inhabitants of
this City. A free and social intercourse
with them, during a |teriod of more than
twenty yenrs, is uhout to terminate, without
any recollection oil my part of n single
painful collision, und without leaving behind
me, as far as 1 know, n solitary personal e-
ueniy. If, in the sentiment with which I
am about to ronclude, I do not give a par
ticular expression to the feelings inspiietl
by the interchange of civilities and friendly
offices, I hope the citizens of Washington
will he ussuretl that their individual happi
ness, and the growth anil prosperity of litis
City, will ever he objects of my fervent
wishes. In the rentiment which 1 shall pre
sently.offer, they are indeed comprehended ;
for i tie welfare of this City is indissolubly
associated with that of our Union, and the
preservation of our liberty.
I request permission to propose—
“Let us never despair of the American
Republic.”
Mr. Ci.ay nppenred to lie niueli indispos
ed by a severe cold, and r.'iired very soon
after the delivery of his remarks and toast.
The company, nevertheless, kept together
for some time longer; und, amid the lively
enjoyments of social feeling, nnd g?od hu
mor, nuulioyed by any tincture of party or
personal animosity towards anv person pre
sent or absent, many lively und innocent
jcur d'cspril and repartees gave an agreea
ble animation to the scene. Some of these
sportive sallies took the shnpe of volunteer
toasts ; und of these we have been enabled
to get together what follow, without being
able to embody the short but pithy speeches
by which some of them were preceded :
By Mr. John M. McCarty, of Vu.—The Peo
ple’s will should always be respected, yet some
times reformed.
By Gen. Walter Jones—Reform—Like chari
ty, let it begin at home.
' By H on. Mr. Sergeant, of Pennsylvania—The
principles of the Constitution, administered nml
applied by those who never practised aught ugninst
them.
By Mr. Sergeant, of New-York—“ A judicious
Tariff”—a Tariff for the protection of politicians,
nut of manufacturers.
By Mr. J. C. YVrioht, of Ohio The present
Administration—May they reform abuses where
they find them, and not pretend to refoim where
none are found to exist.
By Mr Berkley Ward, of Vn.—The cause of
Domestic Industry in the Middle States—We'll be
clothed by those w ho’ll be fed by us ; aud ufter a
wlnle weMl dothe ourselves mny be useful to such us have not s.

principles of this Republic—May she, in gratitude,
reward him in the evening of his life.
By Mr. C. C. Claiborne—J. Q. Adams,
“lie who climbs to mountain tops, will find
The loftiest peaks most wrap’d in clouds and snow:
He who surpasses, or subdues mankind,
Must look down upon the hale of those below.”
By Mr. P. Thompson—Richard Rush—The pure
patriot, the accomplished scholar, and the perfect
gentleman.
By Wa. Prentiss—General P. B. Porter—The
gallant soldier, the able statesman, the undeviating
republican, and the honest, unassuming man.
By Maj. Stull—Samuel L. Southard—Always
a patriot citizen of the United States, though an a-
licn in his native State.
By Mr. J. D. Caswell, of Ohio——Win. Wirt,
Esq.—The learned jurist, the accomplished ora
tor, and finished gentleman.
By \V. E. Thornton,—Public sentiment—Bet

After a time of dulness and decline in the cot
ton market, which almost extinguished (lie hope of
improvement this season, the foreign demand has
become a little belter—the sales in Liverpool the
latter part of January and first of February, the
date of our last accounts, were more extensive at a
small increase of price—this however lias laid very
little effect in Savannah or Charleston. One (if
the Savannah papers streaks of the sale of Col.
Moughon’s crop of IBS halos, the best which had
been offered in that market, at 10J cents. The «•
verage price in Savannah is about Si—a Charles
ton paper of the 23 J stales it ut from 8 to 10, and
supposes the lute nows will only render the mar
ket more firm at those prices.
The, Commissioners have furnished us with tire
following statement, shewing the result of tho Inle
sales of Fractions, Reserves, ifce. belonging to Urn
State. The lands sold well, and the amount is
much largorthan wo had supposed it would lie:

trol. This was considered oy Mr. McLean as nn
insulting declaration—hut 1 have no doubt that on
inquiry, it was found to have emanated from the
editor of the Telegraph, or some of the adversa
ries of General Jackson, hut not from the General
himself. The statement, however, remained im-
contradieted j and Mr. McLean, fearing tlmt the
policy which he should feel himself compelled to
pursue, would lie such ns would not he approved
of by the President, &, of course, not in harmony
with the policy of the other branches of the ?o-
vernment, determined to relinquish the situation
altogether, and accept of the nomination of Asso
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court.”
The Nantucket Enquirer hunts up n singular de
claration of Uc Witt Clinton, in a Speech before
the Senate of New-York, on the 31st .Inn. 1809:—
“ It is, perhaps, known to but few, tlmt the pro
ject of a dismemberment of this country i« not a
iiovpI plan, growing out of the recent measures of
government, ns hns been pretended. It has been
cherished hy a number of Individuals, forn scries
of years, and a tew mouths before the death of n
distinguished citizen, whose decease so deeply ex*
cited the public sensibility, it was proposed to him
to/mlist his great tnlenis’in the promotion of this
nefarious scheme, and to Ins honor tie ii spoken,
it was rejected by him with abhorrence and dis
dain.”
[This allusion isno doubt to Gen. A. Hamilton.}

When, during the laic canvass, he came

we wore induced to suppose from the representa

unices particular exception he made to uny
of them, which is seldom the case.

CENTRAL BANK.
In answer to numerous enquiries from our sub
scribers ami others, we state, on information deriv-
edfrom one of the Directors of the Central Bank,
that they expect to commence discounting notes
with the hills of that institution in the course of six
weeks. The following extract? from the rules
seen the notice
_ iday, and Dis
count day the day thereafter.
“ Every person ofi'eringa note for discount, shall
present a statement of the mortgages and judg
ments unsatisfied which are nguinst him, with u
certificate from the Clerks of the Saperior and
Inferior Courts respectively, of the different comi
ties in which ho has resided for the seven years
immediately preceding the time of offering said
note, and also from the Justices of the Peace of
tho Districts in which he has resided for the tame
period, of the judgments which are unsatisfied a-
gainst him in their respective districts, or certifi
cates from tile same officers, that there are none
existing against him—and also a certificate from
the Ch rk of the county, or from the Comptroller
General, of the amount of his taxable property re
turned.
“YY'hcn any bond, note, or other evidence of

A Richmond paper expresses the regret which
is generally felt at Mr. Madison’s declining to serve
in the State Convention for forming a new Con
stitution, Iu the 79th year of his age, he conceives
himself unequal to the discharge of duties so ar
duous. A lnte National Intelligencer mentions,
that information had reached that City, tlmt James
Monroe, Ex-President of the United States, lies
dangerously ill ut his residence in Loudoun county.
—oo&—
The appointment of Mr. Moore of Kentucky, to
he Minister of the United States to Colombia, iu
Ihe place of Gen. Harrison, recalled, may be very
proper and for the good of the country; but we re
ally cannot iinngiuc wlmt are the advantages to be
derived front it. General Harrison Ims no doubt
pocketed his outfit of $ SUD0, and if he was likely
to prove an able and faithful representative of the
United States at the Colombian Court, it would be
of little consequence whether he received his ap
pointment from President Adams or his successor.
The new Minister must also have his $9090 outfit,
so that $ 18,000 will he paid for outfits before nnv
official services Imve been performed. The ap-
E ointment of foreign Minister may ho quite agreea-
le to Mr. Moore and his immediate friends, but
the public good, and not the gratification of indi
viduals, is what the country has a right to expect
from the new President, and in this we hope its
just expectations w ill not be disappointed.

GEORGIA, Gwinnett county.
W E, the Grand Jurors, sworn, chosen and so-
lowed for the county of Gwinnett, at March
Term, 1829, would present as n carious grievance,
the Increase of the diabolical practice of gaming
in this county, and particularly during Court week;
at that particular time a considerable number of
these gambling gentry infest our village and are
prowling amongst ns; mid an Eagle watches not
closer for her prey than these miserable wretches
do for an opportunity to filch from every inexpe
rienced person, tvliat money he possesses. And it
is much to be lamented, tlmt those public officers
whose duty it is to prosecute such violations of the
law, lire loo apt to connive at these offences, und
we are fearful, in some instances, participate them
selves in a violation of the law, to the neglect of
their oaths of office.
VVc would again recommend to the Legislature
the propriety of tho organization of a Court of Er
rors and Appenis.
YVe would further present ns n grievance, the
almost entire neglect of the performance of patrol
duty iu this county, Bnd we do hope the Regimen-
tul and Battalion officers will enforce the Compa
ny officers to a more punctual performance of this
duty.
In tendering our thunks for ids diligent nltcn
dance to business, we now respectfully lake leave
oflds honor Judge Clayton. Our I hanks arc also

YVe have seen, in one or two papers, nn expres
sion of surprise at the sensation produced by the
kidnapping of Stevenson. Nothing in our view is
more natural. It is not so much a sympathetic
feeling for the individual as a just indignation at
the daring violation of the laws, mid a detestation
of the mercenary spirit which actuated his captors.
If an Englishman, a supposed fugitive from justice,
can with impunity and without legal authority be
seized, gagged and clandestinely transported iie-
yond the limits of the State, a free cilizen of.onr
Republic, guiltless of crime, may at some time, un
der false pretences, be subjected to the same fats.
Tlie following, from a correspondent 1 at Wash

“ The circumstance which causes more uonver
sation in the political world at this moment, then
any other, is the change in the Post Office Depart
ment. There are - n great many rumors ns to tho
manner in which this change was brought about
It is generally understood, that nt n long interview
—or at several interviews—between Gen. Jackson
ami Mr. McLlaN, the subject of reform was dis
cussed, witli reference to ils application to the Post
Office Department. Mr. McLkan desired to re
main in the Department, on the same footing in
which he has stood during the Inct Administration ;
occupying an independent ground, nud disposing
of the patronage according to his own judgment.
Gen. Jackson also desired to retain Mr. .McLkan
in the Department,’ conditionally, that he would
make those changes which he desired, ami which
were to extend to all persons who had been in op
position to his election. As far as the facilities of
office Imd been abused for political purposes, Mr.
McLean w#s disposed to adopt tho general princi
ple, aud to apply it in his Department; but if the
rale Were adopted, he insisted on its impartial ap
plication, whether the person convicted of abuse
of office, had been the friend or opponent of Gen.
Jackson. This construction did not meet with
tlio approbation of the General. Both agreed on
the general principle, hut the disagreement was as to
its application. The General tlieq determined,or it
was determined for him, to arrange Mr. McLf.an
into Ids Cabinet, for the purpose, as it was said hv
the Telegraph, of placing the jmtrouageoflhy D«-

YVe have expressed on another occasion our re
gret at the course taken by the National Intelligen
cer in the late contest for President; but we have
not forgotten tlmt its editors wero tho friends of
William II. Crawford in the preceding election,
nor that their paper has been conducted ut nil
times with uncommon ability. YVe therefore
cheerful!}- give publicity to the following prospec
tus, issued front their office.
THE
NA TIONAL IjSTELIJGENCER,
rum.isHtD in.
THE CITY OF YVASIIINGTON,
hy
GALES It SEATON.
Tun National Intf.i.licknckr is nn old esta
blished Journal, nt the Sent of tho General Go
vernment. It publishes, originally, regularly, and
fully, the Prockedinos and Derates ot Con
gress; also, nil the State Papers und Documents
of public interest, laid before Congress, or origi
nating iu that body, and all the Acts passed hy
them. These recommendations, in addition to the
variety of other information which is to bo found
in its 0011111111?, connected with the General In
terests of our own country, with Literature
and Science, and the affairs of the world at
large ; together Willi the character of general fair
ness which the paper ims sustained under its pre
sent editors, for many.years, make the National
Intelligencer useful, and even valuable, to uii
who feel an interest in the concerns of this or of
other countries.
The National Intelligencer is not a party pa
per, but censures or approves where censure or
approbation seems to he due to public mearures.—
It supported the late Administration of the Gene
ral Government, when the measures of tlmt Admi
nistration were such as to meet ils approbation.—
It uvows a determination, though it opposed the
slcction of Gen. Jackson, to support the just mea
sures of this Administration, hut us certainly to op
pose the unjust or the proscriptive. It will be, in
principle, opposed to any Administration of the Go
vernment whose measures shall shew it to have
the interests of n party ut heart, rather than thn
great interests of the country. It is, in a word,
what its title denotes, a National paper.
For the independent and impartial course which
it Ims pursed, the National Intelligencer lias
been denounced, «nd an attempt has been made
to put it down, right or wrong, by the strong arm
of power directed by caucus ugency. The at
tempt is as vain as it would be for any modern
prophet to bid the sun to stnnd still. Thirty years
old, this National paper is not yet iu its prime, hut
acquires strength and powor w itb every day of its
existence.
YVithout having ever sought for popularity, or
courted public patronage, tho National Intelli
gencer enjoys already the widest circulation of
arty newspaper in the United States. It is read in
every State und Territory in the Union, and in li
very city and town, as well as in the country. It
is read in every capital in Europe, and possesses
sources of information exceeded hy iio other Jour
nal.
For the first lime, an effort is made to enlarge
the subscription to it by sending forth this Prospec
tus, which our adversaries ir. politics are expected
to deal so generously with’H.Uoletit be seen, & our
friends so kindly as to further our purpose with their
aid & countenance.- Heretofore, no have hardly
wished to enlarge our subscription list. Intending
hereafter, however to devote ourselves wholly to
the newspaper,- and to a proper impihvemeut of
“ the condition of the Press,” we invite such fur
ther suhsrri|itimis, us, being ptinrtually paid, will
remunerate our labor and expenses.
The National Intelligencer Is published dai
ly, nt Ten Dollars per annum, payable in advance.
It is published, also, for tlie more convenient cir
culation where a daily mail does not penetrate,
three times a Week, at Six Dollars per annum,
payable iu advance. A remittance of either of
these amounts in bank paper, by mail, will ensure
Die prompt and regular transmission ol every pa
per that may be ordered.
Those subscribing will please to signify whether
they desire the paper for a year only, and then to
be stopped without further notice, ox wish it to be
continued until countermanded.
