FOR VICE-PRESIDENT,
Theodore Frelinghuysen. ^
The m ass of important and exciting political
1[ler which presses on us this week, necessa-
1 excludes, to-great degree, our usual edi-
;'J ial speculations. The great length of Mr.
V ri Buren’s letter will hardly deter, even with
h( . broiling weather of the season, its deliberate
. ir i careful perusal, by the political opponents,
well as friends, of this gentleman. It is writ-
•tii obvious marks of unusual care and at-
ten witn 1,1
rention on the part of Mr. Van Buren; its rea-
n j n g S are cogent and forcible, with a singular
, -inctness of object, considering the author ;
rf jpieri its style is far happier, and of a much
hi dier order, than we have commonly found in
the productions of the New \ ork Statesman. 1
^ ,l, e leader and presidential candidate of one
of the two great political parties, it was our duty
i , v i t before our readers at the earliest tnotnen
could make room for it; and it, with the con
t !,i<i(inofJudge Berrien’s speech and as muc!
0 f |he details of the late Whig Convention a
wc could compass, has pretty much filled eve;
•j,p rerv large space afforded by our paper fo.
rM ,hug matter. Q ur readers, however, we dart
w. lV . will find it as interesting matter as we could
fj .ve possibly filled it with.

Jiv the arrival of the Hirbernia at Boston,
p n li,h dates to the 19th April are at hand. The
npvrsis not very important. Cotton after the de-
,’ ir , ure of the Acadia, (the steamer bringing the
former news, and the decline of cotton) had ad-
v e ,i |,om I to id. This however had been lost
a^ain, and prices at the departure of the Hiber-
were precisely as they were on the 3d April,
or according to a letter of the 19th, at a decline
C i,j f r om the prices by the steamer of the 3d.
The New York Cotton Brokers are represented
as thinking the accounts by the late arrival, as
favorable as was expected.
The news of the Texas Treaty move of our
Cabinet had reached England, and created con
siderable, excitement in the political circles. The
subjoined is extracted from the Liverpool Mer
cury, and if it is to be taken as indicative of the
lone of public opinion, it is all that could be
wished, at least by the friends of annexation.
America and Texas.—The intelligence
Innogiit hv the last arrival from the United
" ff great interest and importance. Tt
appears, that a special envoy has arrived at W ash
in-’ton from the Tex',an Government, commis-
L; ne j t0 make an official oiler of annexation on
the part ol the young republic. An offer of a simi-
I irdescriplmn was made in the year 1837, and was
then rejected, but u nder very different circumstan
ce,. At that period, the acceptance of the offer
ol the Texians would have involved the Unit-
el States in an expensive, embarrassing and
somewhat uncertain war with Mexico, and also
in the very probable contingency of a rupture
«i:li England. Moreover, the public mind
,,, tj,e foiled Slates, was very much divided on
,he subject of slavery, and a great jealousy ex-
kci im the part of the New England States, in
Li’ard to any accession of influence in the Union
it, the Southern interest.
“In the present instance, also, it appears very
uncertain whether, on the whole, the annexation
ofTexas may not he an event rather favorable
thin otherwise for British interests. If it de
prives us of a means of annoying the United States,
and so far removes the temptation to a war, it
h by no means certain that this ought not m be
I,„iked on as advantage. A war with the U. S.
even if successful beyond our most sanguine
expectations, would be a calamity of the most
(fafal description- Moreover, the annexation of
Texas would give great additional preponder
ance in the Union to the interest upon which we
must necessarily rely the most for the mainten
ance ol friendly political and commercial rela-
imis with England—that, namely, of the soutli-
■rii cotton growing States. Y he vote of Texas
voaid be necessarily an additional free-trade
ot,\ which, in ilie present balanced state of par-
ms and interests, might frequently prove decisive.
fVe cannot afford to alienate the southern in-
eresi and strengihen the advocates of the high
aril! by opposing a measure so warmly advocat-
1 by the .Southern States, and bv enlisting all the
eelmas of national pride and Anglo-Saxon pre-
ii,lice against us throughout the Union. Nor is
t ever good policy in a nation to commit ilselt
nan opposition against the natural course ol
men’s, whi’ h evidently points to the ultimate
ocorporation of the unoccupied prairies of I ex
it with the neighoring and parent State. We
vest, therefore, that whatever may be the result
it the present negotiation at Washington, the
imi, able relations between the two countries will
lot lie disturbed bv any unreasonable interference
an our part with the domestic affairs of another
:ontinent."—Lit. Mer.
Nothing of importance in the Parliamentary
eports, and an early adjournment is anticipa-

The following characteristic letter from the
aen of Sydney Smith, a ppears in the London
Morning Chronicle:
' To the Editors of the Morning Chronicle :
Sir:—The locofoco papers in America are,
observe, full of abuse of Mr. Everett, their
ninisier, fur spending a month with me at C hrist-
u:,' in Somerset-shire. That month was neith-
r lunar nor calendar, but consisted of forty-
iL’iit bouts—a few minutes more or less.
" 1 never heard a wiser or more judicious de
vice than he made to me and others, of the
American insolvency—not denying the injus-
eof it, speaking of it, on the contrary, with
lie deepest feeling, but urging with great argti-
H’-mative eloquence every topic that could he
pleaded in extenuation. He made upon us the
-nine impression he appears to make universally
in ibis country; we thought him, [a character
viiieti the English always receive with affection-
ateregard,] an amiable American republican
"about rudeness, and accomplished without
nsteniauou. “ If I had known that gentleman
five years ago, [said one of my guests,] I should
have been deep in the American funds; and as
it is. 1 think at times that I see nineteen to
twenty shillings in the pound in his face.”
" However this tnav be. I am sure we owe
to the Americans a Je’bt of gratitude for send
ee to us such an excellent specimen of their
productions. In diplomacy, a far more impor-
•int object than falsehood Isle keep two nations
ln triendsliip. In this point, no nation has ever
oeei, better served than America has been serv-
hy Mr. Edward Everett.
I am, sir, vour obedient servant,
April 17. SYDNEY SMITH.”

Terrible Kiol in Philadelphia. j
We learn from the Philadelphia papers of a ] National Convention of ECatiltoation.
1 terrible riot in that city on the 6th instant. It j Iparn by the newspapers, that the Con-
j appears that a meeting of Native Americans . vention far exceeded, in numbers and appear-
i had assembled in the afternoon in a vacant lot j ance, the great Convention of 1840 ; that John
j at the corner of Mastar street. When the third j Clayton, of Delaware, presided ; that the
speaker arose to address the assemblage, two i Convention was addressed by Mr. Webster and
! persons, represented to be Irishmen, underto >U j others; and that the Prize Banner was award-
i to create confusion and disturb tbe meeting.—
! This caused some excitement, which continued
j to increase. Soon tiie assailants of the Natives
i gathered strength, and it was not long until the
’ affair assumed the aspect of a most violent mob.
j First one party was driven back and then
j the other. Guns and pistols were fired. The
• Gazette says :
The worst result of this disgraceful contest is
seen in the loss of life. From the beginning of
' the affray the shots were frequent, and a num-
i her of persons were killed and wounded.
I A postscript in the Gazette written at midnight,
I in stating further particulars, says that a house
( in Second above Franklin st., was attacked in
i consequence of some ot its aggressors having
j taken refuge in it, and fired guns from the win-
i dows.
Another house above this in the same row, , answered by the shouts and cheers of all in the

i at one corner of the street, and the fence of the
school house set on fire. About this time,
I when the crowd had faltered in front of the
i school house, a volley of musketry was fired
j from the house opposite, and when the crowd
j had parted, it was discovered that several were
| wounded ; one young man, named J. A. Wright,
was taken up dead, a bullet having pierced his
: left breast just above his heart. Another young
man, named Ramsey, was shot in the upper part
of the left lung with a bullet, and when we left,
was expiring. Yv r e were also told, that two other
! men xvere seriously wounded.
The Native Americans then retreated, aud up
i to twelve o’clock, (midnight,) affairs remained
j quiet.
j FURTHER RIOTS IN PHILADELPHIA—CONFLA
GRATION AND LOSS OF LIVES.
The Philadelphia papers bring the deeply painful in-
led gence of further riots in Kensington, attended with
i extensive confla2rations, and a consideratile number
I of persons killed and wounded. The annexed details
j are copied from the U. S. Gazette of yesterday,
j \\ e have rarelv, if over, seen our city more excited
j than it was yesterday, (Tuesday) in consequence of
j the outrages committed in Kensington on the day pre-
i vious; and at an earlv hour, Brigadier Genera! Cad-
walader issued orders to bis Brigade (that of the city . „ .
nroper,) 10 parade in the afternooo. ! the great Ball was again 10.led as m 1840.
1 «, • i... tli-r There was no riot, nor drunkenness, nor dis—
Meantime, a meeting, (field bv resO(Ve ot one tnat | .
was held in the Assembly Building on the night pre- j order on the occasion. All was enthusiasm—
vioos.) was called in the State House Yard, tor 3 o’-! but there was kindness and good feeling on eve-
efockP. M. Previous to which, a great uumber of ry side. The private residences in Baltimore
persons bore through the streets the American Flag, I were all thrown open, the hotels were full, and
every house xvelcomed its visitors. No acci-
t rnucti injured, accornpained by a placard, besrin
j large letters the following : “ This is the Flag that w>s
trampled on by the Irish Papists. (We are not sure
j that the words are exact.)
i At 3 o’clock tbe meeting in the State House Yard
i W as verv large, and as the call contained tbe addition,
! that those who came should be 4 prepared fordefence
; some appeared
1 who was walking
I persons whom he saw armed. One of the persons
j thus arrested had a gun, and another a double barrel
led pistol.
Most of those present moved in a body to Kensing
ton, (at the corner of Second and Master street.) and
proceeded to organize a meeting, but they had scarcely
nailed up their flag, (the same that is spoken of above,)
wtien a number of hoys made an attack upon the Hiber-
dent occured on the occasion.
Mr. Frelinghuysen’s nomination was ratified
xvith an enthusiasm second only to that which
marked the announcement of Mr. Clay’s name.
It is now thought, on all sides, to be the very
ith deadly weapons. The Mavor. i best and happiest selection that could possibly
round the yard, quietly withdrew the! have been made. By the South especially ihe
nomination is approvod—as his opinions in re
lation to the Constitutional guaranties of the
South, are not only sound, but such as will make
him invulnerable, to attacks on that score.
The Convention far exceeded in numbers, in
zeal, in enhusiasm, the great convention of 1840,
and a pledge was given in all quarters that the

T HE following choice lands, consisting of fractions
on the Chattahoochee river, in Early county,
are offered for sale. For all planting purposes, they
are inferior to none in the State, in point of durability
and fertility of soil. They comprise three different
settlements, each large enough for a cotton planta
tion, viz:

84-100 dollars, for his insolvent list for the year 1843;
five-thirteenths of which are to be deducted for County
tax.
The Jail is in a safe conditio/* generally, but tbe
floors on the basement story are decayed, and we think
should be replaced by blocks of granite of large size.
After a laborious investigation of the fiscal concerns
of the county, we have not succeeded in arriving at any
satisfactory conclusion as to their condition. Although
the law requires that the funds from all sources should
be paid into the hands of tbe County Treasurer for
County purposet, we do not find he has ever received
one cent from all the lines, but that the Clerk of the
Superior Court has assumed to be tbe keeper of these
funds, and disbursed them himself, when it is evidently
the intention of the law, that the Inferior Court alone.
having control of county finances, should be the proper
authority to make those disbuisements.
We would state, however, that the present Clerk
has exhibited a schedule of the monies coming into this
hands from this source, and vouchers to cover tbe same,
except the sum of one dollar and ninety-five cents,
which he reports in his hands. This system of keep*
ing so many accounts, when the law recognizes but
one County Treasurer, leads to confusion, and adds to
the labors of the Grand Jury in these investigations.—
We therefore recommend that the law of the State in
this matter be observed in future. We have found
267 acres.

I NFLl 110R COURT, sitting for ordinary purposes,
May Term, 1844.
It api .earing to the Court, that George VV. Young,
of said c ounty, deceased, did, while in his life, to wit,
on the teventh day of November, 1S42, make and
execute to Frederick Farmer his bond, by which he
bound h, msetfin the sum of two hundred and twenty
dollars, i :o make a good and lawful title to a certain
piece ot land, lying in Greene county, it being the dis
tributive share of Elijah Moore deceased. Number
eight, (8 ,) of a bounty of land lying in the fork of the
lem in keeping the accounts.
We find from a recept in the office of the Clerk of
the Inferior Court, that John . W. L. Daniel gave one
hundred and sixty dollars for the old Court-house, for
which the county appears to have no credit.
The nett amount of the tax for the year 1839, after
deducting commissions and insolvent list, is $4,621 79;
but $4,117 49 only are credited to the county, leav
ing a balance of $504 30 entirely unaccounted for upon
the books. In a receipt exhibited by Jehu Edge, late
Collector, dated 25th August, 1840, we find the Inte
rior Court allowed him the sum of $454 62, for exe
cutions, which had been placed in tbe hands of Edward
Y\ . Miiler, a constable, who absconded without mak
ing a return. The law requires lax executions to be
placed in the hands of the Snerifl for collection, and
the interests of the county have in this instance been
improperly jeopardised by a deviation from it. If this
sum of $454 62 be a part ot the tax «>f 1839, the defi
ciency above stated of $504 30 will be reduced to
$49 63, which ought to be accounted for.
In justice to Mr. Edge, we state that he has a re
ceipt in full from the Justice* of the Inferior Court, for
the tax of 1839, and is consequently exonerated from
censure.
We find that a ba’ance of $247 78. ha* remained in
the hands of C. D. Hammond, a Justice of the Inferior
Court, from the middle of July, 1341, to the present
time, as we think to the prejudice of the creditors of
the county.
We regret that at a time of unprecedented pecuniary
pressure, the funds of the county have been lavished
with so much prodigality—$16,960 have been spent
in the erection of an unnecessarily expensive building,
which even now, previous to its completion, requires
repairs ; $1,500 00 have been paid lor a fence which
will endure for but a few years longer; $80 for appa
rently a very trivial amount of work, in grading the yard
and planting trees; $2,-350 00 for two bridges over
Fishing creek, notw ithstanding old materials were fur-
ni-hed nearly sufficient for one. We think we have a
right lo compiain that the public funds have not been
managed with that recar,|, to economy which a prudent
man would exercise in his private business.
We recommend the Inferior Court to have the Court-
Oconee and Apalachee rivers, formerly belonging to b()U?p jref)> hnd fi „ 1;(hed al orr ^, in ac ,. ordBI)Ce
Ben,am, a Moore, of said county deceased, so soon as | wi ,h theemtrart. and that the C.
the said Frederick farmer should pay, or cause tube
paid, uni o George W. Young, one hundred and ten
dollars, I le the said Farmer being bound to pav thirty
dollars < 4 said money at the time the bond was given,
and forty' dollars on the 25lh December, 1843, and
Clerks’ offices be supplied
with some additional fixtures for the securitv of the
public records and papers.
We recommend the County Treasurer in future to
open an account with the Tax Collector for each year,
charging him with the amount of the County Tax ; and
fo„y do, lars on the 25th of December 1844 ; and it | B , jke accollnt a „ Hinst Clerk rf tUe c onrt

me nring with Maine and closing with Arkansas.)

delivered enthusiastic speeches.
The hospitality of the Baltimoreans is highly
spoken of and applauded.
Mr. Webster’s speech was applauded to the
echo. He came out thoroughly for Clay and
Erelinghuskn, and pledged himself for the
Whigs and for Whig principles. His eulogium
on the character and services and patriotism of
Mr. Clay was a brilliant flight of true eloquence.
The Prize Banner was presented to the Del
aware Delegation by Revetdy Johnson, and re
ceived with an eloquent speech by Mr. Clay
ton.
Mr. Clayton was the President of the Day.
The Convention unanimously adopted a series
of resolutions declaring in plain and emphatic
language the fundamental principles of the Whig
Party.
All over Baltimore there were Whig speech
es day and night, listened to with enthusiastic
delight by crowds.
The variety of Emblems, Banners, &c.. fee.,
in the grand procession cannot be enumerated.
A beautiful futi rigged ship, weaving looms,
manufacturing cotton and cloth, were among
the attractive features.
There were Whig Delegations from the West,
with Coon skin caps, and hunting shirts ; and

We feel that a new era has dawned upon us—<hat
under such an administration, and -uch an interpreta
tion of the powers ami duties of the Grand Jury, no
violator of the laws can long escape his just deserts ;
and especially that a deadly blow ha* been struck
against the vice of gembkng. which has for years beea
a reproach to our city, notwithstanding the numerous
efforts which have been made to suppress it. Of so
great importance do we deem this interpretation of the
duties and powers of the Grand Jury, that for the pur
poses of securing its advantages to all parts of the
8tate, nnd perpetuating them in our own county, wa
request our Senator and Representatives in the next
Legislature to use their efforts for the passage of an
act declaratory and confirmatory of this exposition of
the law.
In conclusion, we earnestly hope that hi* Honor
Judge Cone may long continue to preside over tha
