If we can form any estimate from the tone of the newspapers, it will certainly be one of the most unparalleled struggles that over occurred in any stale, upon any occa sion. Both parlies seem to he thoroughly arous ed to the contest. The importance of the result to the successful party, should either succeed by a heavy majority, is incalculable. After such a deadly struggle, the people will naturally relapse into a cooler and more dispassionate slate of feel ing; the excitement which now animates and almost infuriates the multitude will ease olf, and the politics of the stale will settle down quietly In.l firmly in favor of the victorious parly.

Wo shall begin to receive returns in about ten day*. The folio ing comprehensive review of the difficulties existing between the Turks and Egyp tians. taken from the New-York Courier, renders it interesting to every reader, who is desirous of being informed upon matters transpiring in our own time, which must at some future period be came history. Abroad, however, a (fairs were assuming, not for France only, hut for the world in general, a very serious aspect, a circumstance which re quires that we go somewhat into detail. l)ur last accounts lelt the armies of the Sultan, mid of the Viceroy of Egypt, in presence of each other. Hostilities appeared unavoidable, because ii was evident that the Turkish General, (Hafiz Pasha, the Seraskier) who had advanced to, ami occupied Bir, meant nothing less than to ad vance into Syria. His army of 45,000 or 50,- ■OOll men was infinitely better armed, disciplined, ■mid in a word, vastly more formidable than any that for years the Porte hail possessed. A con siderable number of Prussian officers had been admitted into it. particularly into the Artillery. Enthusiasm and entire confidence in their• com mander, characterized it. Opposed to this army was that of Ibrahim Pasha, who, until the fuel was denied in the French Chamber of Deputies, outlie Ist iiisl., by the celebrated M. De Lamar tine.had always passed for the eldest son of Ma homet All, and considered universally as one of the very first military men of the ago. The troops of Ibrahim were inferior in number to those of the Seraskier, hut were held to he in comparably superior to them, iu alt the qualities of a soldier. There was thisihlferenee, however, ■b 4ween the situation of both. The population oi Syria, the poepie railed the Druses, and the inhabitants of Damascus in particular, were no toriously disaffected, and might, on the first ap pearance that could justify it, bo expected to break out into insurrection. Nor was this all.— The whole of Egypt, ground down by the tyran ny and the exaction* of Mehomit Ali. would fol low their example. Os this the Turkish and Egyptian rulers were perfectly aware. It cnteiod into the whole plan of operations undertaken by xhe former, and it minced on the part of the lat ter, concessions to particular tribes to secure their loyally and suppuit. and every other practicable measure for counteracting the designs of the ene my, that wisdom could suggest. I pto the dato ol the latest accounts from Syria or Egypt that had reached us no positive act of hostility had however been committed by the Turks, and it will be recollected that Mchcinct All had instruc ted Ibrahim to “lake care not to strike the first blow. Imii it “attacked, to put his trust iu God, uml act with energy.” Vv bile this was the situation of affairs in Syr ia. the Stiltan and his Ministers, continued to rcpi.v to the representations of the representative* ol the tourgreal powers, (France, England, Rus sia and Austria,) with true oriental dissimulation. “ idle ground occupied hv Hafiz Pasha, was part md parcel of the Ottoman Territory.” "His ar my was in want of provisions."—ami other eva sions.

Justly alarmed at the crisis which the “duplici ty and had faith of the Porte,” as it is termed in the Letters and Journals now lief ire ns, was cal culated to produce the four great European pow ers resolved on obviating any con*e picnces which the collision of the Turkish and Egyptian Idrccs were calculated otherwise to produce, it was therefore resolved that the Sultan and Mehcmct Ali should he each informed that neither would he suffered to draw any advantage front any conflict in which they might engage; and that the ftulu quo —which implied, of course, the maintenance of their respective rights—would he rigidly main tained ami cnfoi 'cil. It would appear that Mehcmct Ali desired un tiling better— as we shall see presently—hut not so the tSullan, whose energy appears to increase with the severity of the complicated disorders un- 1 der which he labors (one of those being dropsy,) for we find that on the Bth ult. he repaired on hoard the ship of the Capudan Pasha, then with I the rest of the fleet lying under (he walls of Con- j slantinoplo—and having assembled the principal officers of tile various vessels of which it was | composed, harangued them with vehemence and \ even eloquence. He called upon them to do their I duty, and regretted that indisposition prevented his being able to accompany them, as he proposed, | to the Dardanelles at least. He then went ashore, j and next morning the first division of the fleet sailed. It was followed on the lOth by the other Division. .On the 18th, as a Telegraph Despatch published in the Moniteur of 3d hist., the whole fleet was set n oil'l he Dardanelles. Letters from Constantinople, dated 15th ult. stale that one of the Sultan’s Chamberlains had proceeded en courtier to the Head Quarters of Hafir.

He was also instructed to march >,l once to attack Ibrahim, and informed (hat the Ottoman fleet, which had sailed for the coast of Syria would laud (at Ileyrout, it was believed,) 10,000 troops to support the Druses and inhab itants of Damascus in the revolt which would no doubt occur on the landing ut these troops nml the march of the Keraskier. The Monitor of lid in«t. publishes a second des patch which goes to prove, nevertheless, that the warlike projects of the Po le—even laving aside the chance of their being defeated by Ibrahim— would produce no advantage to the Sultan, mid that Mehemet Ali was playing his cards most adroitly. It was to this effect: “ The French Consul ul Alexandria to the President of lln Council —Mehemet Ali has giv en orders to Ibrahim Puclm to stop, wherever he ■ might he, on (lie arrival of Captain Collier, and to wait for the issue of arrangements made by tiled rent Powers. The Egyptian squadron has gone out of harbor, but without any hostile in tention. It will go to cruise on the coast offSv- I ria.” j After this unquestionable evidence of his good I faith and moderation, the four great powers had not tlie slightest cause of complaint against Me hcinetAli, who, by it, placed ins adversary com pletely in the wrong. It was much questioned, , however, that Ibrahim would now—no more than he did in 1833—hull in his victorious career lie- ( cause of the expressed desire of Franco, or other 1 foreign powers, that he spare the Sultan. It was > equally improbable that the Egyplion Admiral ’ would allow the Cupudnn Pasha quietly to land t on the Syrian coast the troops and supplies inten ded tuexeite, support and sustain the insurrection. I The fault would not, however, ho his, and mice i committed would give more weight to his preten sions to have his sovereignty over Syria and Egypt recognised and secured In his line. In this position stood the affairs of the East at the dale of our letters (3d inst.) from Paris. On the preceding day all was apprehension. In the evening of that latter day. the government, to cheek the tendency to alarm abroad, published in the Moniteur Parisini the telegraphic intelli gence above referred to. The effect was rather favorable. Confidence in the maintenance of peace was again returning, and it was even said that the commissioners of the various powers to form a Congress, (to he held at Constantinople or \ ienna) were already named. It is not impos sible, therefore, that this affair will have been patched up; hut that the pence so re-established lias iu it the elements of sincerity and durability, no man in Paris believed. From the Richmond Whig. Mr. Van Union a Missouri Itosti ictionisf. A friend in North Carolina writes ns, that the parli/.ans ot the Administration in that B*tale, stonily deny that Mr. Van Horen ever gave the slightest countenance to the first movement of Abolition, which had for its object the exclusion of Missouri, except on condition of abolishing slavery within its limits; and he asks us to fur nish him the record evidence of the fact. Hav ing it at hand, of every shade and hue, and of the most conclusive character, we cheerfully comply. First—wo ro-puhlish the preamble and reso lution of Instruction adopted by the New York Legislature, directing the New York Senators to oppose the admission of Missouri, except as a ! free Stale : Preambit and Resolutions. —Whereas, the I inhibiting the further extension of slavery in j these I’nitml Stales, is a subject of deep concern j to the people of this Stale; ami whereas, we eon- | sider slavery us an evil much to he deplored, and 1 that every constitutional harrier should ho inter- ! posed to prevent its further extension ; and that ! tlie Constitution of the I’mted Slates, clearly j giv; ig Congress the right to require of new States, i not comprehended within the original boundaries of the l ulled States, the prohibiting of slavery as a condition of their admission into the Union: Therefore, Kesolred.

The Senate - concurred in this resolution without division nr i debate, and among them Mr. \AN BUREN, • : though it was not brought before tho Legislature •I by bis agency. Still he must be regarded as | having coneurred, at that time, in the sentiment i I of the resolution then adopted by the Legisla -1 lure.”— Holland’s Life of Van Buren. i Such is the direct and conclusive testimony of ( Mr. Van Huron’s eulogist. Another of his partisans, the present editor of (he Nashville Union, whilst editing an abolition i paper in Massachusetts.testified to the Abolition | ism of Mr. Van Buren from 1820 in 1836. We , a nil public to his impartial Tory evidence: I'rom the New Bedford Gazette of Nov. 2, 1836. f lIV JKIIKMIAH ff. lIABUIS.] 41 In 1820, Mr. Van Buren voted that Con gress had the constitutional power to abolish, slavery in the Territories, and instructed ihc New I V ork Senators in Congress to vote against the, ad'mission of Missouri. “In 1836, he says that Congress has the con stitutional power to abolish slavery in the District j of Columbia. “ In 1821, he voted to give free blacks the I right of suffrage. “In f 828, lie voted in favor of restricting the j introduction of slaves into Florida.” But this mass of testimony, although over ' whelming, is not all which the case affords. We | have a letter from Mr. Van Buren himself,which, admits the purl lie acted, and discloses the mean, selfish and despicable motives which iniluenci d him—motives even more discreditable to him as a man and a patriot, than the action which tin y ■dictated, “I should sorely regret to find any flagging on. the subject, of Mr. King. We are committed to his support. It is both wise and honest; and we must have no fluttering in our course. Mr. King’s views towards us are honorable and cor rect.

We honestly and sincerely believe that this ar ray of testimony must confound the most brazen demagogue and pampered menial of the Federal Party. Some may still profess to doubt—for their daily bread is dependent on their words; but all who are free to utter the convictions of their • hearts, must confess, that Mr. Van Buren stands convicted by irrefragable testimony of the highest character*—by the record, the admission of his confidential biographer, and by his own confes sion. We hope, therefore, never to meet with or to i hear ofa partizan, who lias so little respect for himself, to say nothing of the truth, as to deny, that Mr. Van Buren was a Missouri Realriction ist, and a Conspirator in what Mr. Jefferson so strongly and truly denominated “this treason against human hope.” In referring to tlie documents connected with this subject, wo have fallen upon several letters written iiy Mr. Jefferson at the time, which will serve to convey to the reader some idea ot what were the views of that great man, and indeed of tho whole South, in relation to these “Missouri Uestrictionists,” of whom the now President of the United States was an active and conspicuous member.—Read the following extracts and say. what would Mr. Jefferson have thought of the pretension, which has been set up for Mr. Van Buren, of being “tho Northern man with South ern feelings,” knowing the part which lie acted in the controversy, anti execrating that conduct, as these letters declare lie did ! Extract of a letters rum Mr. Jefferson to John Adams December 10th, 1819. “The Banks, Bankrupt Law, Manuliictures, Spanish Treaty are nothing. These are occur -1 retires, which, like waves in a storm, will pass under the ship; But the Missouri Question is a breaker on which wo lose the Missouri country, and what more, (Jod only knows. From tire Battle of Bunker’s Hill to the Treaty of Paris, wo never hud so ominous a question,” &c. Extract ofa letter to I Vm. Short , April 13/A 1829. “ Although 1 had laid down to myself, never to write, talk or even think of politics, to know nothing of public affairs, and therefore hud ceased to r, ad newspapers, yet the Missouri Question aroused and tilled mo with alarm. I have been the most sanguine in believing that our Union would lie of long duration. I now doubt it much, ami see the event at no great distance, and tiro direct consequence of this question. My only comfort and confidence is. that I shall not live to see this: and 1 envy not the present generation, &c. This treason against human hope will sig nalize their epoch in history, as the counterpart of the medal of their predecessors, &.c.” Extract to John Holmes, April 22rf, 1820. “This momentous question, like a fire-bell in the night, awakened and filled me with terror.— 1 considered it at once the knell of the Union.— | it is hushed indeed for lire moment.

The Globe :uid The Merchants. Tbe following; is the character which the Oiohe gives of tlie mere!).mis of this country —a charac ter which, according to that press, will, with some few exceptions,apply to all of them. —M e believe his aiihercnts have sometimes disputed that Uen eral Jackson ever made the sweeping assertion, that -all who trade on borrowed capital ought to break;” but. at all events, there can he no ques tion that the party has always acted upon that principle, and that every measure which hears upon the great mercantile interest seems to have been adopted with an express design to break k down and destroy that interest. The great crime ij of the merchants is, that “they are opposed to the I Government,” and for this they are doomed to | sillier every calamity which the power ol the Ad ministration can bring upon them, i Nor do the merchants, because they feel these [ calamities first, feel them alone. Every interest and every pursuit is, in the present state of civili zation.so completely knit to every other, that the - blow which draws blood from one must pass T through the heart of some other; and thus the prosperity of the whole country has been jeopar ded in the wicked attempt to break down a single clars. Thus speaks the (ilohe of the merchants: “At no period in the whole course of his busi ness—if reckless gambling deserves the name— does he, or can he, know what he is worth at one moment, or how much he may owe, without be ing able to pay, the next. llis wealth is imagi nary, and nowhere. He contractstlebts, and cal culates on miracles to pay them. He trusts ev ery body, and every body trusts him, while the ball ran lie kept up; and when it falls to the ground, they all roll away and perish together.— The idea of owing more than he can ever reason ably expert to pay, does not rob him of a wink of sleep, or distuib his repose for a moment. ‘Eat, drink, and he merry, for to-morrow we die,’ is his maxim ; he lives as if the world were at his com mand ; he despises the sordid maxim of cutting his coat according to his cloth, for the cloth be longs In others; he goes the way of all flesh; and when his books are examined by the assignees, it is found that, though he has lived like a prince, and spent his hundreds of thousands, he never was worth a farthing when his debts were paid.” A friend has presented us with ‘scraps of orig inal poetry” by the “Midway Musk,” with a request that during the “summer’s dearth of news,” we will publish them in the Journal— . with the request, and have ‘adorned’ onr columns with one of those ‘poetical’effusions. The lines below, addressed to “Arabella,” it is said, were an impromptu effort, occasioned hv a discovery hy the author that a Rose, which had been given to him by a beautiful widow, had got into the possession of the lovely girl, to whom the verses are addressed. The Ladies, to please whom these “scraps of original poetry” are pub lished, will no doubt appreciate this gallant effort on the part of the “Midway Musk” to contri bute to their amusement during the dull summer months. The author submits to no criticism, hut what may emanate exclusively from that idol of his heart, “t/ie fairer part of Heaven’s crea tion."—Georgia Journal. Written at the Indian Springs, 1839.

Midway Muse. 1 he following amusing account of an examina tion of the young ladies in a Seminary at Albany, is extracted from Capt. Marryatt’s Diary : This afternoon they were examined in algebra, and their performance was very creditable. Un der a certain age girls are certainly much quicker than boys, and I presume would retain what they learned if it were not for their subsequent duties in making puddings, and nursing babies. Yet there are ulfairs which must be performed by one sex or tbe oilier, and of what use can algebra and other abstruse matters be to a woman in her pre sent state of domestic thraldom ? J The theory of the American constitution was the next subject on which they were examined ; by their replies, this appeared to be to them more abstruse than algebra; but the fact is, women are horn lories, and admit no other than petticoat government as legitimate. The next day we again repaired to the hall, and French was the language in which they were to be examined, and the examination af forded us much amusement. Ihe young ladies sat down in rows on one side of the room. In the centre toward the end. was an easel, on which was placed a large black board on which they worked with chalk the questions in algebra, &c.—a towel hanging t 0 it, that they might wipe out and correct. The French (preceptor, an old Emigre Count, sat down with the examiners before the board, the visitors (chiefly composed of anxious papas and mammas) being seated on benches behind them As it happened. I had taken my seat close to the examining board, and at some little distance from the other persons who were deputed or invited to aUeiul. 1 don’t know how 1 came there. I be lieve 1 had come in too late; but there I was, with in three feet of every young lady who came up to the board. 1 “Now. messieurs,” have the kindness to ask any question you plcgse,” said the old Count.— Mademoiselle, you will have the goodness to step forward.” A question was proposed in En glish, which the young lady had to write down in French. The very first went wrong: I per ceived it. and without looking at her, pronounced the right word, so that she could hear it. She caught u, rubbed out the wrong word with the towel, and rectified it. This was carried on through the whole sentence, and then she retreat ed from the board that her work might he exam ined. •• Very well, very well, indeed, Miss, e’est parfailement bienand the young lady sat down blushing. Thus were they all called up. and one alter another prompted by me; and the old Count was delighted at the success of his pupils. Now, what amused me m Hus was the little bit ot human nature; the tact displayed bv the | sex, which appears to he innate, and which'nev |er deserts them. Had I prompted a hov, he j would most likely have turned his head 'round j toward me. and thus have revealed w hat I was 1 about; but not one of the wh de class was guiltv i 018Uch "discretion. They heard me, rubbed out, corrected, waited for the w ord when thev dal not know it, but never hy any look or sign I made it appear that there was any Understanding i be ‘ weetl us - Their eyes were constantly fixed i on the board, aau they appeared not to know J -U ■' that! in the room. It w<t3 ifcaii> beautiful- When the examination was over. 1 received a look from them all, half comic, half serious, which amply repaid me for my assistance. As young ladies are assembled here from every Stale of the Union, it was a fair criterion of American beauty, and it must be acknowledged that the American women are the prettiest in the whole world. • Two gentlemen noted for their fondness of ex aggeration, were discussing the fare at the diller cut hotels. One observed that at his hotel, he j had tea so strong it was necessary to confine it ! in an iron vessel. “At mine,” said the other, — “it is made so weak it has not strength enough to run out of the tea pot.” A man without money, and a heart full of philanthropy, whose coat is a little thread bare is shunned like a thief; a man with a pocket full of money and n heart full of villanny, is courted for ids virtues!

EVANS' CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth!— This / infaliible'remedy has preserved hundreds of chil- 1 dreu, when thought past recovery, from convul sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. The preparation is so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it When infants are at the age of four months, though theie is no appearance of teeth, one bott e of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children ; for it a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediate’y gives case, by opening the’ pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing convulsions, fevers. &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm Evans’ Medical Office, 100 Chatham street, New York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all diseases of children. PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir—The great benefit afforded to my suffering infant bv your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa rent how essential an early application of such an invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and torture. My infant, when teething, experienced such acute sufferings, that it was attacked witq convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that death would soon release the babe from anguish, till we procured a bottle of your Syrnp ; which as soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change was produced, and after a few applications the child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing in its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred; the teeth are ema nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health. I give you my cheerful permission to make this acknowledgment public, and will gladly give any information on this circumst: nee. WM. JOHNSON. TONIC PILLS. —The power of Evans’ Camomile Pills are such, that the palpitating heart, the trem ulous hand, the dizzy eye, and the fluttering mind, vanish before their effects like noxious vapors be fore the benign influence of the morning sun. They have long been successfully used for the cure of in tesmittents, together with fevers of the irregu lar nervous kind, accompanied with visceral ob structions. This tonic medicine is for nervous complaints, general debility, indigestion and its consequences, as want of eppelite, distension of the stomach, acid- I ity, unpleasant taste in the mouth, rumbling noise ’ in the bowels, nervous symptoms, languor, when the mind becomes irritable,desponding, thoughtful,* melancholy, and dejected. Hypochondriacism, con sumption, dimness of sight, delirium, and all other nervous affections, these pUls will produce a safe and permanent cure.
