Letter t«> Mr. i ewis. Haynkvillf, May 10, 1813. Hon. Dixon H Lewis : Dear Sir —At a meeting of a porlion of your constituents, held at Hayneville, on the 9th inst., it was resolved to tender you a public dinner, to be given at Hayne ville, on the 31st inst., or such other day as you may suggest. The undersigned were appointed a Committee to convey this resolution to you, and to solicit your complance, with the desire of your feilow citizens to meet you on such an occasion. Be pleased to interpret this trite compli ment as the only expression we can now employ of our high appreciation of your public services, and a warm affection for your personal character. We hope on die fust Monday in August next, to make a more effective demonstration of our re gard. You will of course be apprized that this measure originates with your more immediate political friends —but besides the opportunity thus affoided of manifesting our respect for yourself, we are deeply interested that our fellow citi zens generally, should hear a calm review of ihe political questions which now en gage public attention, from one who has so long been our common representa tive. It is not necessary to say to you, whose hopes we are sure concur with our own— how anxious are our wishes to be in formed of, and to promote the prospects of Mr. Calhoun as a candidate for the Presidency of the United States or how general that sentiment is with the De mocracy of this country, and even with many who in the last Presidential elec tion, were arrayed with our opponents. We regard Mr. Calhoun as pro eminent ly the champion of the principles of free trade and equal laws. A man so pure in his personal character, that he evokes a sentiment of chivalrous devotion in his friends. So unsullied in his political character so comprehensive in his pa triotism, that while die South delights to claim him for her ow.:, the North is ea-‘ ger to embrace him under the panoply of die confederacy. So true to the Consti tution, that his administration cannot fiul to test its adaptability to the wants of the country —so ardent in his devotion to liberty —so honest and wise in the re sfraint of licentiousness, and so difiident of power, th at we may confidently look under Ills administration for a return of the Government, to that severe Republi can simplicity, which characterized its early existence, and to the final consum mation of all Democratic government; “ Equal rights to all, exclusive privileges to none.” Your position, we hope, will enable you to confirm and strengthen our expectations of the probable success of Mr. Calhoun, and at the same time lo indicate that course of policy on the part of his friends, which will best comport with our sincere desire to promote iiis election, and at the same to secure the ascendancy of those principles of public liberty, with which his whole life has been identified. We beg leave to assure you of the sat isfaction we feel in being the organ of comniui.icating to you the proceedings of our fellow citizens, and of the person al and political regard with which we arc your friends, and obedient servants, J.

STONE, JOHN DANIELS, C. L. W< lODBURY, A. V. SCOTT, T. M. WILLIAMS. Committee. Mr. Lewis’ Reply. Low:, desboko’ May 12, 1813. Gentlemen—Your favor of the lOlh instant, has been duly received, and in the course of a long career of public ser vice, few testimonials of popular regard have given me more satisfaction than the hfearty approbation both political and personal, so fully expressed for me in your letter, by those who, as comity men and neighbors, have known me so long and so intimately. Public honors, how ever gratifying, are at last poor substi tutes lor that private regard and esteem which in the more endeared relations of social life, furnishes the only permanent source of social happiness. The tender you have made of your support on the first Monday in August next, is evidence that you consider me the Democratic candidate for Congress in this District. Information from other parts of the District, apprise me that I am so considered in those parts. On this point I have been willing to acquiesce in the will of a majority of the Democratic party throughout the District, and have uniformly so answered all inquiries on the subject. I have particularly, felt it to he my duty in the new cast of the Districts, not to forestall a full and free MACON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1843. expression of preference in favor of the just claims of any other individual whom the partiality of friends might suggest as the candidate. I hold that all offices are trusts, freely conferred by the People up on such Agents as they may prefer to execute their will, and that no length or value of service, constitutes any claim for sucli tnists, except as such service increases the confidence of the individ ual rendering it. To the larger portion of the District, I have never occupied the relation of an immediate and exclusive Representative, and for that reason, being the more desirous to claim nothing as the former representative of a portion of it, l have to this time silently awaited the indications of the public sentiment ns to the choice of a candidate. So far ns these indications have come to my knowledge either in the shape of indi vidual preference or in the resolves of public meetings, they justify me in the inference, that at a period so near to the election, and in the absence of any oppo sing movement to bring forward any other name before a District Convention, in allowing my name to be used as a candidate, I am only acquiescing in the will of the Democracy of the Dis’rict. Should, however,‘any portion of the Dis trict express its dissatisfaction. 1 hold myself ready to make any sacrifice to the harmony of the party which may he re quired at my hands, either by withdraw ing my name or submitting the matter to a District Convention. I regret that 1 feel compelled to decline your invitation to a Public Dinner with which you propose to honor me on the 31st of this month. Asa candidate, I prefer meeting my constituents in that character alone, freely subjecting my whole conduct to their approval or con demnation, rather than through the par tiality of friends, to he honored with a public demonstration for the very servi ces upon which the People will lie called to pass their judgment at the approach ing election. My position during the canvass, will throw me much among the people of this as well as the other coun ties, and 1 prefer meeting them in their several neighborhoods with more of leis ure for a free interchangeof opinion, and in a less formal way than l should bo able to do at a public dinner in Hayne ville. Many of my oldest and most val ued friends who have for seventeen years honored me with their steady confidence and support, I can scarceiy hope to sec except at or near their homes. You are right, gentlemen, in anticipa ting that my preferences are for John C. Calhoun fertile Presidency. No previ ous occasion having called for a public avowal of this preference, I avail myself of the opportuni'y which your mention of the subject requires, to make known my views on a question which may more or less enter into the election, and which, in the absence of any authorised state ment of those views on my part, might become the means of dividing our friends in a manner seriously to affect the result of the approaching canvass. My preferences for Mr. Calhoun are founded on the conviction, that he is the most efficient and available Representa tive of Democratic principles in the ap proaching contest for the Presidency that he stands an equal chance with any other candidate to receive the nomination of a National Convention, and that if nominated he can unite in his support more of the elements of opposition to a National Bank, a Protective Tariff, a Bankrupt Law, a Distribution or an As sumption l«iw and to all other measures of Federal Whig policy—than any other man that can be nominated. That in every part of the country, but particularly in the South—thousands who, in the last election, swelled the ranks of our adversaries—were opposed to the above mentioned measures of the Whig pnrtv, there is now no reason to doubt. Os the Southern Whigs, not a few are opposed to a United States Bank, while many are daily becoming more and more distrustful of the whole paper system. A still larger number are opposed to a Bankrupt Law, and to the Distribution Act; and in spite of their unnatural and corrupting party association with the Federal Whiggery of the North, a major ity of them are at this time opposed to a high Protective Tariff. With so many elements of Democratic principles in their party composition, it is difficult to imag ine the bitterness and violence of that personal dislike to an individual, which at the last election threw such numbers of them in opposition to the Democratic candidate, and which, if the same candi date is again presented to them, may ag ain produce similar result. In the mean time, the indications are every where abundant, and I am happy to find them no where more so than in Alabama, that if Mr. Calhoun is the candidate, the more Democratic and Free Trade portion of our late opponents will sustain him, in opposition to a W hig candidate, who, ou account of the devotion of that party to Monopoly and Privilege, must, from in exorable necessity, be a high 1 mill man. Nor is it to tie disguised, that our hopes of success in the approaching .contest must depend on accessions to our cause from the ranks of our former-opponents. To this effect, 1 know uo candidate more efficient than Mr. Calhoun, nor no issue so likely to rally' the whole anti-monop oly spirit of the country, as the great Democratic doctrine of Equality of Rights and Freedom of Trade. In fact, this is the only issue which now divides the two parties, which the People have not already settled. The Bank, Bankrupt Law, and Act of Distribution of the Extra Session, have each received the irrevoca ble seal of popular condemnation in the late elections, and under a candidate uni ting the entire Free Trade party through out the Union, the contest of 1814 would strike the last shack, e from the limbs of a free people, in the shape of a Protective Tariff. But, gentlemen, in expressing my preference so fully for Mr. Calhoun, I feel that I should perform but imperfectly my duty to myself, to you, and to the common party to which we belong, not to say, that \ am at all times ready to yield my individual wishes to the ascer tained choice of a majority of the Demo cratic party. To the distinguished gen tleman most likely to divide with Mr. Calhoun the preferences of the’party, I have once given my warm, cordial, and active support, under circumstances in volving a most painful separation from many of my then political friends and a majority of my constituents. With less of confidence in his ultimate success than I might perhaps feel in supporting anoth er candidate, hut with scarcely less zeal, if the will of the Democratic party shall fix upon him as the candidate, 1 shall at once yield him my active and unhesita- ting support. 1 have, gentlemen, said this much on the Presidency, because to have said any thing, 1 could not in candor have said less, and to have said nothing, would have subjected me to the danger of mis apprehension on the part of some, who, knowing my friendship for Mr. Calhoun, might have attributed my silence into a determination lo come under no party pledges, mid any suppression of the ex tent of preferences into an intention to submit them to no party restraint. Nor have I attempted to give prominence to the subject as a topic of discussion during the approaching canvass, but on the con trary by a candid statement of views, which I hoped would be satisfactory even to those who differed with them, I have endeavored to sink the question, so far as our friends were concerned, at least until the election was over. No friend of the Democratic party in the approach ing election can wish to see a subject ag itated, which, in the fierce conflict of opinion, may terminate in that division of feeling, which is perhaps the strongest hojie of the common enemy. Nor can the cause of Mr Van Buren or Mr. U'alhoim be promoted by such means. On the contrary, they are both sufficient ly prominent to have their respective claims attentively, and, I hope, fairly considered by the National Convention, and the danger to both is, that their very prominence may arouse a collision be tween the friends of each, which may prove fatal to both, by causing their re spective friends to prefer the success of any other candidate to that of their rival antagonist. The success of cither de pends on uniting, to a great extent the respective friends of both, and this alone should teach us a lesson of moderation. As the friend of Mr. Calhoun, I feel that his prospects of success are too brilliant to be sacrificed to a spirit of intolerance growing out of party divisions, while as a Democrat I feel much more the neces sity of preventing the ascendancy of a party whose whole system cf public pol icy is but a series of invasions through Banks, Tariffs, and other unequal laws, of the private rights of the citizen and the freedom of trade, injurious, as I be lieve, to all sections, but peculiarly disas trous to the South. In taking leave of this question, I de sire to say that I carry into the canvass not even my n'bove avowed preferences, much less a spirit of championship for one candidate over another. As the can didate of the whole Democracy, my ob ject is not to form or to assist in the form ing of any public opinion on the subject, but to defend the great principles of the Democratic party, whenever and by whomsoever assailed, and to do so as promptly if assailed in the person of one candidate as of another. With renewed assurance of my heart felt thanks for the kind and generous es timate which you and those you repre sent have placed on my public conduct, I am, gentlemen, truly your obedient ser vant. DIXON H. LEWIS. To Messrs. J. L. F. Cottrell, anil oth ers, Committee. Mr. Cashing and the Chinn Mission. The Boston Times of Thursday, has the following paragraph: The Hon. Caleb Cushing, Commis sioner to China, took final leave of his friends in this city Tuesday afternoon, and of his friends in Newberryport on Monday; and left for Washington yes terday afternoon, in which city he will remain a few days to complete the final arrangements for his mission. , From thence he proceeds to Norfolk, Ya., where the United States steamship Missouri, hound for the Mediterranean, awaits him. Mr. C. leaves behind a large circle of pri vate and public friends, who will deeply feel his absence, and will welcome him again to the scenes of home with sincere gratification. In connection with the high respect entertained in this community for Mr. Cushing, we would mention that on Sat urday afternoon, the merchants of Boston gave a splendid entertainment to Mr. Cushing at the Treinont House—on which occasion Hon. Robert G. Shaw presiiled, assisted by lion. David Sears. The company was composed of our most distinguished citizens, and was addressed by Hon. Dan. Webster, Mr. Cushing, and others. The festivities continued until a late hour in the evening, when the party broke up, much pleased with their “ feast of reason and flow of soul.” Pleasures ulna Indian Voyage. I began by paying £l5O sterling for a cabin to myself, anil had not inhabited it two days before I found it so infested with rock roaches that 1 was bound to evacuate it, and should have been houseless if Se vestre had not kindly mode me bring my cot and occupy half of his, turning my own in a baggage cabin. If we had all been Whittingtons, and each possessed half a dozen cats, it would not have suffi ced to deliver us from the rude assaults of the innumerable host of rats that in vaded us. I had occasion to remove a trunk, which stood in one corner of the cabin, when, to my astonishment, 1 dis covered a small snake coiled up ; and, as if not sufficiently hideous as a snake de facto , 1 further discovered that the crea ture had two heads. I called out loudly for a stick and assistance, intending to commit a bloody deed upon the intruder; the cuddy servants, who had heard my vociferations, came rushing on to the fray ; hut no sooner did they see the na ture of the foe, than they both jumped upon the boxes, exclaiming, “Kill him, sir, kill him ! don’t let him come here!” Just at this point the third mate came up, ciying out, “ Don’t hurt him, sir ! Pray don’t hurt him!” and imm dintely laid hold of what turned out to lie u pet of his. Although I had never seen one he fere, 1 had frequently heard of the dou ble-headed sand snake. This was one of the very singular species, and, as far as human eyesight can lie credited, it has a clear and perfect head at both ends. The species, however, are entirely harm less ; and the one in question, it appear ed, had made its escape from a little box in which the mate had kept it since leav- mg Madras. As for pets, they literally abound with us ; there is a pet cheetah, or leopard, big enough to swallow a sheep : Then innumerable mongooses, whose little red noses are ever and anon thrusting out from among the brooms and spars oiYtlie deck ; hundreds, 1 may say, of that beautiful little elegant species of the feathered tribe, the avadavit, which 1 cannot better describe than by saying that it was a black wren, speckled with crimson spots ; chattering parroqtiets are heard in every direction ; and, though last, certainly not least worthy in the list, a mina. This race of birds is, without exception, the most remarkable in the world for its talkative powers, and its abil ity to imitate all kinds of human sounds; the one in question, however, really sur passes all lever heard in this way, and the whole livelong day talks, sings, and whistles; in addition to which, it gives all sorts of mockeries of men, beasts and birds. —Diary of an Assistant Surgeon. Law of M in land relative to Muriied Women Most of our readers are probably not aware of the enactment of our late leg islature, whereby the property of the wife is exempt from liability for the debts of the husband. The passage of this law indicates the existence of a high and chivalric sense of justice among the mem bers of that body. It restores to the oili er sex the right of which they have been long deprived, and will unquestionably alleviate much of that direful misery (the toleration of which has been a disgrace to humanity) resulting from our previous aws of personal property. The worthy and unsuspecting female often fall a vic tim to the wiles of a designing villain, who seeks to repair a squandered fortune and regain his former station in society by marrying a wealthy wife. \Y ith the stealth aud insidiousness of the serpent, his skillful dissembling and artful hypoc risy secure for him a place in the affec tions of his victim, lie is but too suc cessful in the consummation of his hell ish scheming, and it is reserved for the neglect and sometimes even the cruelty of her husband to discover to the wile the terrible secret that it was the glitter of her gold, and not the excellence of her character, that was so fascinating in his eyes. Reckless speculation or continual dissipation soon involves him in debt, brings him a tattered beggar to the door of ruin, and drives his confiding wife and unoffending children upon the chari ty of a cold unfeeling world. Was it just that her property should be sacrificed to satisfy the cupidity of creditors, some of whom were most probably auxiliary to, if not the immediate cause of his pownfuli ! Never. It was never intend- ed that the innocent should expiate tlie offences of the guilty—that weak, help less woman should be brought to degra dation nnd want because of her miscr&- ant husband. Society, or rather the fe male portion of it, has long suffered for some such antidote to villany as this law must inevitably prove. Somerset ( Md.) Herald Fnlher M tli r— Postponement of the End. Compassionating the sufferings of sin ners during the late excessive heat, Fa ther Miller he’d out encouraging hopes of a few months respite from the final conflagration. What effect the “biles,” to which he so touchingly alludes in the following letter, may have had in this af fair, we (lout know. The Prophet has, it seems, called for a council, and with a very suicidal cpndor, admits his inability to make out the “signs” without the aid of dear brothers Himes and Bliss. Thus writes the Prophet: Dr. Himes—My health is on the gain, as my folks would say. 1 have now only twenty-two biles from the bigness of a grape to a walnut on my shoulder, side, back and arms. lam truly afflicted like Job—and about ns many comforters—on ly they do not come to me as did Job’s, nnd their arguments are not near so ra tional. I want to sec brother Bliss, I hope he is right about the termination of peri ods, but 1 think.not 1 will tell you why ; if you will examine, you will find all the ceremonies of the typical law, that were observed in the first month, or vernal equinox, had their fulfilment in Christ’s first advent and ceremonies in the seventh month or autumnal equinox, can only have their fulfilment at his second advent. Let me notice some. 1. The Aik rested on the seventh month, seventh day. This has an ap pearance of a type, the rest of the gospel ark at the judgement. Gen. viii. 4. 2. The sanctuary', and worshippers, and all appertaining to it; were cleansed on the seventh month, tenth to seventh day. Lev. xiv. 29—34, surely a type. 3. The Israelites of God were to afflict their souls from the evening of the tenth day, seventh month. Lev. xxiii. 27—as a type of the troubles. Dan. xii. 1. 4. The holy convocation of all Israel, seventh month, I—lsth day. Lev. xxiii. 24 ; Num. xxix. 1. A type of the gath ering of the elect, Psalm lxxxi, 3—4 ; xxviii. 6. 5. The great feast, seventh month, fif teenth day, all Israel appeared before the Lord. Lev. xxiii 34; 1 Kings viii. 2. Type of the marriage supper. IJeb. xi. 9, 10. ti. The jubilee sounded seventh month, tenth day, through all the land. Lev. xxv. 9, It). Type of final redemption— 1. Thess iv. 14—17. 7. The time of release of all Hebrew's in bondage seventh month fifteenth day. Dieut. xv. 1—15; xxxi. 10, 11; Jer. xxxiv. B—ll at the feast of tabernacles. This evidently is typical of the release of the Israel of God. 8. The atonement was made on the tenth day seventh month, and this is cer tainly typical of the atonement Christ is now making for us. Lev. xvi. 1—34, 1—34, antitype, Heb. ix. I—2B. 8. When the high priest came out of the holy of holies, after making the atone ment, he blessed the people.—Lev. ix. 21. 22;’2 Sam. vi. 18. So will our Great High Priest. Heb. ix. 28. This was the seventh month tenth day. 10. This was in harvest time, the feast ot the harvest was kept in the seventh month from the tenth day to the seven teenth. Lev. xxxiii. 30. And the end of the world is compared to the harvest. Matt. xiii. 30. Christ says plain in the “harvest time.” 1 1. Also in the feast of tabernacles, in the great day of the feast in the last day. John vii. 1, 27. So is the last great day. Jesus voice will call forth the righteous dead. John v. 28, 29; 1 Thess. iv. IG. Will, you and brother Bliss examine and tell me what you think of my scrib ble on this point ? If this should be true, we shall not see his glorious appearing until after the Autumnal equinox. A few months more of trial and calumny, and then all will be over. ] wish I could see yon once more, but do not leave your work to gratify me.

The appointment of David Hen shaw, of Massachusetts, to the Navy Department, has called forth many eulo giums on his character and talents by the press generally, and appears to be very acceptable to the Democracy of the Eas tern States. The New Hampshire Ga zette says the appointment ‘will be highly tip loved by all the old standing Deono cr< sos Massachusetts, because He.ishaw is . Democrat of the old Van Buren stamp. But aside from his politics, we think the appointment of Mr. Henshaw would be a very popular one, with all good men of all parties, who know his talents, his extensive commercial infor mation, and business habits.” INO. 10.
