As contemplated by h meeting which
was held on Friday the 12th instant,
and whose proceedings were publish
ed in the last Cabinet, a large and
respectable meeting of the citizens of
the county of Warren, took place, on
Thursday the 18 h irist. Tney as.
sembled in the Court House, in War
ronton—when Zkphaniah Frank
I.in, Esq. presided as Chairman, ami
the Secretary of the form* r meeting
being absent, Thomas Gibson, Esq.
was appointed Secretary, l'no meet
ing being organized, the chairman
made known to the assemblage the
object and design Cor which they had
been called together, in a brief, but
pertinent and patriotic address. Mr.
Daniel Chandler, in behalf of the
Committee, appointed for that pur
p<se hy tlii’ fanner meeting, reported
a Preamble! ami R ’Solutions. The
P-e.ainble and R s dutions were read
to the meriting in a *1 *ar, audible and
i npressive manner; after whirl, G. E.
Thomas, ,lh ‘l as member of the com*
mil tee, in a speech which greatly re*
d-'unil and to his credit as a patriot, a
statesman and an orator, went into
an explanation considerably in detail,
of the rarilFnf 1828, and its concom
itaut hearings and evil tendencies, as
regards the interests of the southern
agri ultiiralists. The Preamble was
both able and eloquent ; and though
the production of one who has scarce
ly reached manhood's bloom, yet we
h.zztrd but little, when we say that
it will not stiff r by comparison with
the best ot those which similar occa
aims have recently called forth. The
Preamble and Resolutiou9 were seve

Mr. Editor,
You may print this or not, just as you
pl< ase—you will understand that several
of my neighbours, as well as ir.yself, have
been opposed to a Court of Errors and
Appeals, because we thought it would
lengthen lawsuits. Further, we wore of
opinion that a rich man would start a poor
one to a place he never could reach; but,
we think we have smelt a mouie in an oth
er place; w e have found out that the Judges
ol the Superior Court has mire power
than any bt dy e!e— Phe Governor and
•he Legislature both together, cannot do
what one powerful Judge may do and does
do.—The Legislature may pais a law,
the governor may approve and enforce it,
but what is all this, when one man
on th * bench can and does make a law,
then he approves it, after that, he puts it
in lorcp, and there is no hindering him
from doing all this. It is this Ertor in
Appeals that are wanted. Now I will tell
you now c-'ine I to b** kept in blindness so
long ibout this m it*er, when the candi
date* found it popular, with ignorant peo
pie like m**, they electionee r ed by
telling us that the fiig folks wanted to
brake down the Justices courts and mak°
o lug ourt away yonder where poor people
would lie th ug it no more of than a dog,
I thought they wore all men of wisdom
and truth, but in this, like oth*-r things
my mind is changed, for it is a firt, that
will not be deny and, that some candidates
have stooped so low as to electioneer by
mis stating the character *f a fellow can
didate. Now Mr. Printer, I have no
personal meaning at any individual Judge,
nor candidate for the legislature, but I
must say, lesson the power of the Su
perior Court, in law making, and increase
the power of candidates for genuine pa
triotism and integrity the state over
A FARMER.

ator in Congress, during which he once or
twice presided as President pro tern, of’
the Senate, during Jefferson’s Administra

Jackson was considered a gentleman of
pie-eminent courtesy, and uncommon a
miableness and blandness of
manners. He was among the most con
spicuous men in the old Jefferson school,
and was at one time strongly thought of
as the successor to Mr. Jefferson. Even

HORRID MIROER.
Franklin ( Venn.) du%. 8. — SYc have
been informed of a must shocking oc
currence which took place in Giles
county in this state, h few days since.
The circuinstan es as they have been
detailed to us on the authority of a
gentleman of unquestioned veracity,
who bad them from a very respect
able person direct from the neighbor
hood of the shocking scene, are as
follows: A mao (whose name our in
formant has forgotten) who keeps a
public house somewhere in Giles coun
ty, left home with his wife with the
intention of staying all night, lie
left the house, in the care of his two
daughters, with directions to reieive
no travellers.in his absence. Late in
the evening an old gentleman call’d
and desired to stay all night.—The
girls refused to entertain him, alledg
ing their father’s commands as the
excuse. ll* insisted, and they final
ly agreed to let him stay. Suine short
time after, a young man called, whom
they also refused to entertain; hot up
on his insisting, backed by the r-quest
of the old gentleman, who pledged
hi in self fr Ins good behaviour they
consented that he should stay also.
Some time after they had retired to
rest, the two travellers were awaken
ed by a loud and unusual noise in the
Chamber of the two sisters, win* slept
above them. They instantly arose
and went up stairs, the younger t,k
ing his pistols with him. At tin* door
of the girls’ room they encountered a
man passing out.— He was bail* and by
the younger traveller, who demanded
bis name, and errand, and the cause
of the noise which had awakened them
and who threatened to shoot hirn if
he remained silent, or persisted in
his attempt to escape. He made no
answer, and endeavoring to pass, the
traveller shot hiai dead on the spot.
They then went into the room where
a most bloody and appalling specta
cle met their view—the two sisters
were found in their blood.
They now sallied forth for the pur
pose of alarming the neighbors. The
first house they came to and the one
nearest this scene ol blood, they in*
.formed the landlady what had hap
pened, who immediately ex I aimed
lt is my husband you have shot!’ she
proved to be correct; it was indeed
their nearest neighbor who perpetrat
ed the crime. It seems the murder
er, and the father of the ill fated girls,
were engaged in a law suit—they
were the most material witnesses in
the case, and the monster, to get rid
of their testimony, formed in tiie ab
sence of their lather the diabolical
resolution, in which he succeeded but
too well, of depriving them of life,

ANECIiOIES.
The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser re
lates the following anecdote of a Yankee
pedlar, and a Dutch innkeeper, near
Catskiil;
After somo sporting and bantering be
tween Mynheer and Jonathan, who had
shone off some common slight of hand
tricks, the said Jonathan declared that he
could swallow his robust ho-t! notwith
standing that Jonathan had plaved < ; ff
several of his Yankee tricks winch puz
zled the good people exceedingly, this
was too great a mou’hful f or tin m to
swallow, if the pedlar could. A bet
sufficient to moisten the throats of the
whole campany, was the consequence be
tween the parties, though the landlord in
proposing it, had no idea that his cu-tom
er would accent, when, as he supposed,
he must be cfhain of losing. Jonathan
then directed that Mynheer should be
divested of his c.-at and boots, and be
streched longitudinally upon the old oak
en table which had stood in the bar-room
tor hall a century. These arrangements
h. vmg been made. Johnathan voraciously
seized upon the honest landlords gouty
great toe, which he pressed rather vio
lently between hi? teeth, giving the good
mans twinge which caused a writhirg!
movement and a groan. -Dander and
Blixuro!’ exclaimed Mynheer:‘vat te tef*
fil do ye pite ine shoe for?’ *tVhy you
darn’J great fool,’ said Jonathan, ‘you
didn‘t think I was going to swallow you
whole, d*d you'?’ A burst of laughter
pruclairatd Jonathan the victor, and
My uheer had to pay the toast and toddy..
An Irish gentleman being taken ill of a
yellow fever at Jamaica, a lady.who had
married in that island, indirectly hinted
to hitn in the presence of an Iris-h physi
cian who at*e ided him, the propriety of
making a will in a country where people
were so apt to die—-the physician thinking
his judgment called in question, tartly
replied, ‘By St. Patrick, madam, I wish
you would tell me whpre people do not
die—and I will go and end my days there/
This puts us in mind of a Hibernian min
ister who said during one of his sermons,
that if there was no such thing as death in
tue world, we should increase to such a
degree, that the plague would get among
us, and we should die off by thousandsHl
