POLITICAL. FOR THE IRISHMAN AND DEMOCRAT. Mr. Editor—I ask leave to submit a few j ; um questions to Robert J. Turnbull* «vho : <‘tns to be a leader of the Disbmonists in our d y. 1st. When did you Mr. Turnbull, ever take a part with the country in which you live, and which protects you against its enemies'! 1 jould like this question answered categorical ly. No shuffling, Sir—no evasion. 2d. Did you not always side with the Fede r lists, against the Republican institutions of • he United Slates'? Don’t forget to answer t.’is 3d. Were you not the enemy of the Gov ernment of the United States, during the late ■’ar with England? Did you not rejoice in her victories, I mean England, and sympathise with ’ter in her defeats? 1 pray you, Mr Turnbull, to forget these questions 4th. Did you not hate the venerable Jeff r- con, with an unextitiguishable hatred, on ac- v >unt of his Republicanism? Deny this if you r m—if you dare. If you do deny it, such tuning proofs will be brought as to make e- ve. you to cower. And you, Sir, are the friend ot Mr P nek* rev. You, sir, are the friend of Stale Rights —and the enemy of Mr Pringle the undevia ting and consistent republican- The American public will know how to ap- • ••eciatc your friend Mr. Pinckney, supported ' y your ‘ Dread not Disunion!!’' Does not the iade of Washington haunt you on your pillow? Ae has solemnly enjoined it on his countrymen as a sacred dutv, to distrust tu'li men as you A DISCIPLE OF WASHINGTON. Disunion.—A Kingston (Upper Canada) p »- *>nr says: “We have given farther extracts from American papers, illustrative of the ill* Mood which reigns in the Southern States.— We hope they will be attentively read and f.onsidered Whenever the crisis of separa tion arrives, which we think not far distant, (here will be enough for all hands to do; it will entirely alter the relation of Great Britain with this continent, and the change will be, to her, immensely beneficial.” THE WEST. There is no doubt, that the coalition has been premature in their Io paeans about Missouri — A majority lias been elected, who will sweep off Mr Barton and his revels into retirement —Even the St. Louis Times of the 14tfi (<■ most loyal Clav paper,) is compelled to scmcii down its tone into the following table of Ute II of R : In favor of Mr. Barton, 29 Opposed to Mr. Barton, 21 Uncertain, 15 Not heard from, 1 15 Uncertain!—Good! Illinois has elected Reynolds as Governor —an avowed Jackson Candidate—In truth, both the Candidates ran upon Jackson's nam«. In Indianna, it is given upon all hands, that the late Election did not turn on the Presiden tint Election. The Centerville Times of the 7th says, that “we n«ver heard any man ex press an inclination to be influenced in bis vole by the Presidential question nor to the best of our knowledge, had that question any bear ing whatever on the election Indeed the vote in the d fferent townships will show that it Was not considered.” < i In Kentuckv, the war of words and figures is still maintained with er< at spirit. Both sides claim the victory. We repeat, that it will turn upon the votes and pledges of the Olay members returned from Jackson counties. The Frankfort Argus and the Louisville Ad vertiser produce proof, that two ot those men who have been claimed bv the Opposition will vote for the Jackson Senator—But when the matter is brought to so nice a question as this, the fact i9 clear that Mr. Clay has losi ground in his own Stale—as, in the Iasi Legis lature, he had a majority ol 22 or 23—Ric’/i mo ad Enquirer.

Good citi zens, alarmed for the safety of their property, are beginning to look to other States for that security and repose, which they seriously fear may not long be enjoyed in this! A gentleman writes from Cheraw, under d»te of August 27, as follows: “The people in this section of the State are greatly dissatisfied.

As the leading 74 ap proaclied, her band struck up “Rule Frittun- nia,” and “God save the King;” upon which Decatur gave instant orders for the bands iu our frigate to give them in return. “Hail Co lombia,” and Yankee Doodle.” The band continued playing, and the men stood by their guns until it was clearly evident that the ma- nceuvre of the English ships was only a rust, and did not proceed from a renewal of hostili ties between the two countries. —.-0000000;— How to hang a Scithe —While Mr. Webster was in College, he and his brother being on a visit to their father; the old gentleman gave each of them a scythe and set them to mow mg. Daniel took a few sweeps and stopped to consider the matter while he wiped the sweat from his brow. “What’s the matter Dan,” asked the old man. “My scythe don’t hang right ’ he answered.

One of the most severe and dreadful storms ever wit- n. ssed in that part of the country, visited the neighborhood of L ike Champlain both on the Vermont and New-York sides. The most se nous and fat al injury suffered happened to the town of New-Haven in Vermont, other place however ha ve seriously suffered by this over whelming flood, which is said to have raised the current, of the river, from ten to fifteen feet higher (ham they were ever known to be before —overflowing vast tracts of land and destroy ing every thing in its course. Not only has in calculable damage been done to crops, mills bridges and factories, but many persons have become the unsuspicious victims of the raging element, and lound a watery grave. The towns of Plattsburg Bristol. Wevbridg, Lin coln, Clmtonville, Kecsviile, New Swieedei and New-Haveu, are mentioned as among those which have suffered by this distress ng aud awful calamity. The Middleton Vt. Re publican, gives the following painful descrip tion of (he scene presented at the ill fated town of New Haven:—JV. C.

The loss at this place falls the heaviest on O Jewilt and D. P. N ish, E-qrs. At New Haven West Mills, is presented as a scene that baffles ali description. Not oblv has a flourishing lit tit? village, consisting of dwtlhng houses and stiops of various dsscrip- (ions, been literally swept away before the de vasting flood, but fourteen persons have all a- scarcely remains to tie doubled, been hurrie-i wjih the general wreck into eternity Parents and children have separated, and parents and children have gone to the grave together, without a moments warning, in a manner to which not even the colorings of fancy can do justice The family of Mr* Nathan Stewart a blind man, consisting of himseif and w*ife— s x children and a young man living with them, ire all missing with the exception of two chi! •Iren.

A scene of devastation pre --mis itsoif altogether unparalleled, ami taken in connection w th the destruction of human l.ves, a scene of desolation ami woe ofthe most appi King aed distressing character. It is esti mated that upwards of t wenty buildings have been destroyed in the two last mentioned pla ces. The water rose between six and twelve feet higher than was ever known before. Two families by the name of Farr were taken from their houses on rafts, one of them in the midst of the storm and darknes, from the windows of the second story ofthe hou-e. The family of Col. Wm. P N.oh whose wife was confined to bed by sickness, Remained all night in the upper rooms of the house, while the lower part was filled with water, and with out all was darkness and doubt — A state of suspense and dread more horrible cannot well be imagin d—placed in the midst of a fl-od threatning to sweep all before it, danger and death staring thorn iu the face, without any ro< anes or possibility of escape. The situation and escape of Mr. C, Clafin was still morefeaful and singular Mr. C. was aroused in the night, and upon going to the door found that the water had air ady risen to such a height around !he house as to prevent his rsrap/ from it: lie accordingly took a cord tfi |i a bedstead, and having conveyed his chil fren into the top of an elm tree that stood near, fisiened them to it by means of the rope. He also succeeded in getting his wtfe and a young infant a few weeks old, into the same place, where they awaited in agoniz ing anxiety tbe return of light. They were rescued from their situation with much diffi cultv the next morning The circunstances in which (hose who were carried away were separated from their friends and neighbors, were heart-rending in the high est degree. Mr. Eldridge and his two sons, with Mr. Somers and one or two others, went to the assistance of Mr. Stewart and his family in the house.

Able and learned Counsel have been at your request assigned hv tie- Court to assist you in your defence. Your case lias been committed to a very intelligent and impartial jury, selected by yourself, who have for six days patiently and aifei.j!jvely-lis tened to the evidence and tile argur/ients.

The horrible murder of which you have been convicted, stands in bold relief and de <ormity in the history of crime. The victim of your ferocity, in a few years, according to the course of nature, would have sunk into his grave in peace, but for tbe thirst or gain which corroded the hearts of those who conspired against his life He was living in the midst of as peaceful a community ns ex isfs upon the earth, surrounded by his relation- and friends, upon whom he had lavished his bounty In the stillness of the night; while he rested his ag<*d limbs upon the bed; while he was in the arms of sleep; in his own house; in the centre of this populous town; the assassin of your procurement committed the deed of death, while you, in the judgment of the law, were present and aiding him in the fact. The circumstances attending the conspira cv. exhibit a cool, deliberate design to take the life of the victim, merely for the sake of gain. There was no other passion to be gratified The conspirators were all young. They were connected with respectable families.- They were horn and reared, and educated a- mong us. They had the means of living with in their own, control, if they had pursued the course of honesty and industry. But they forsake this course, and resolve to cat their road to fortune through blood and murder. Our peaceful city stood aghast at this dread- mi deed. The very foundation of our society seemed to be shaken; and the shock was not confined to this vicinity or State, but extended throughout this land. Suspicions too horrible for utterance were • xcited in the breasts of reflecting men. The sense of security which the law inspires, was in • great manner lost No (nan’s home was con sidered a safe castle: and men seemed for a time disposed to trust to their own arms rather than to the protection of the law for their safety. But there is a providential watch constantly over us The murderers have been detected by means as extraordinary as their crime was atrocious. The assassin has perished by his *wn hands; and the tremendous punishment tor your crime is about to fall upon you. But there is in these awful events a warning voice which speaks to a'l, and especially io the voung, as with the sound of the earthquake -n every breeze which wafts the news of this orrid tngedv—‘Forsake not the ways <»• truth, and honest industry ,-which lead to hoo- who was lost, in hi* arms, but was torn from him each time by the violence of the current and the wrecks of (he buildings. Cries of distress were beard by those who were upon the banks ofthe stream, and as they continued, seemed to pass down with the cur rent. The deep darkness of the night and the fury of the iuundation, shut out every thing from their sight and precluded the possi bility of affording any assistance, and they were compelled to hear in silent agony, the shrieks and supplications of their perishing neighbors and friends without being able to afford any succour.

The IValker Pamphlet—Some excitement having taken place in Georgia against Mr Pollull, the former partner of Burritt, in conse quence of the publication of a letter from th* i' ite of Burritt, attempting to exonorate him from any guilty connexion with the Walker Pamphlets, and attempting to throw strong suspicions upon the motives of Mr Poltiill. who had disclosed Buritt’s agency in the bust ness, he has published an appeal to the peo ple, in which he proves to entire satisfaction, that he acted only as became a Citizen, a Pat not and a man of honor. He declares the fact t fiat he found sixteen ofthe \Valuer Pamphlets upon a shelf in the office, jointly occupied by Burritt and himself, and also received through the Post office a letter addressed by the negro tVulker to Jiuritt on the subject of the pampn- lets, all of which he submitted to the proper authorities, by whom proc9ss wa9 commenced against Burnt We have heard that within a few days, sev- e al negroes in the vicinity of Wilmington, in this State, have b en apprehended, having co pies of the Walker Pamphlets in their posses sion Tin se are the first of these cut throa T incendiary publications, wh ch we have heard of iu this Stale, but there is too much reasos to fear, that their circulation has not been lim ited to Wilmington Would it not be well tor the inhabitants of this Town to make search for them here?—any person, black or white, 'laving them in possession, ought to be pun ished with the extremest severity of the law.

Some time ago we published an article from an Erglish paper, giving an account of some successful experiments that had been made ie fire dresses of a material that preserved the wearer from injnry by fire in the mulst of a conflagration. The latest number of the Lon don New Monthly Magazine contains under t he head of ‘Journal of a Parisian Resident ” the following paragraph in relation to this cu rious invention. “At the last dinner of the “Revu Encyclo pedique,” the Chevalier Aldini exhibited his last improvem nts in the materials ot which the fire preserving gloves and masks are to be formed The principle ha- been adopted for entire dresses by the Pompiers here. .1 drew on one «*f the gloves, and took up a bar of iron heated red hot.

New York, Aug. 24. Fall of Algiers.—Another rumor of the fail of Algiers has reached us. and we see reason to doubt its accuracy. The brig Indus- !ry, Captain Beecher, arrived at New Haven on Saturday last, in thirteen days from St. B.irts, where he reports that a Swedish ship bad arrived in a short passage from braliar, (25 days) bringing intelligence ofthe Capinre f Algiers by assault on the 4th of July by the French. Tbe loss on the part of the French,, is stated at 3 500. and of the Algerines at 5000. It is said that the first attack of the French was repulsed. The D'V had retreated into lie interior. It is also m^ntToned that letters inve been received in New Haven from St. Bartholomews, confirming the statements pf Capt. B ocher. As we observed before, we see no good rea son to discredit the correctness of this news Tbe Swedish vessel had a short passage to St. Barts, but not shortr-f than are often made; and the story is told with so much particulari ty that it is either a’correct report of news re ceived at Gibraltar, or a sheer and utter 1‘abri- cation. For this latter supposition there is not the slightest ground. There is nothing im probable in the fact stated. Th ' fall of Al giers is an event which, for sometime past has be» n expected to take place,, and vve have looked for the intelligence by every arrival.—» At tbe last accounts the army of the expedL tion was at a distance of about five miles fretR the walls, and indeed, there was a story cur rent in Paris on the 3d ultimo, of wlijch we do not yet know whether it was true or false, that still later news from .Count Bourmont had been received, dated.under the walls of Algiers.— There was an arrival at this port yesterday from Bordeaux, the Ship Francis, Capt. Browfr which brought a Bordeaux paper of 5th of Ju ly. Capt. Brown did not leav& the Garocn© until the 1 Itb, and heard nothing prior to his departure of the alleged fall of Algiers; but this does not invalidate the 9tory, for the Bulletins of the 2Gth had not reached Bordeaux at the date ofthe latest paper brought by the Fran* cis, (the 5lh July) 90, of course, un account of the capture of the city coukf scarcely havo been received on the IKh* two days shorten time than the other.
