N. V. Amcr. CHARKOTTE TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1827. \Vt' are authorized lo announce Mr. HENRir MASSEY, jr. as a candidate to represent this county in the }Iouse of Commons of the next General Assembly. We are also requested to announce :\hjor JOSEFH SMITH, as a tk 'andidaie for the office of County Trus tee, at the ensuing election. The following toast was drank at a dinner given by the citizens of Knoxville, Tcnn. to H. S. White, Senator in Con- j^ress. This toast contains the first hint, which we have seen thrown oot ei ther by friend or foe, of the propriety of ikinning Gen. Jackson ; and we record it for the gratification of the curious. We should be sorry lo have the brave old General skinned like a sheep, even for the parpose of beating up a crusade “ a- gainst the consolidating-state-right-tram- pling, newspapcr-crushing, billiard-table- policy” of this never-to-be-paralleled-cor- rupt Administration ; and it is to be hop ed his friends will not countenance the project. But for the toasi :— By Col. S. D. Jacobs.—Andrew Jackson; we tnxiously hope for the preservation of liis life, Biitil his elevation to the I’residcntial chair, when his uncompromising honesty, md incor ruptible integrity will wither into political non existence the ** lefi-hamkd'* politicians of llie day; but, should Providence deprive us ofliim, tvoidd it not be well to stretch liis skin over a drum head, Hketiiat of Jolin Ziscas of old, and teat up a crusade afjainst tlie aggrandizing, patronizin}', consolidatinfj-state riglit-f rampling, newspaper crusliing, and biiliiud-tubk policy of the Administration i* ^lore Tonsts.-TUc following toasts were also drank at NashvillCy at a dinner given to Senator Eaton, in October, 1824, al >vliich ‘were present Gen. Jucktwn^ Gen. llousloiiy and several other Generals; and it may be added, the toasts were received “ with enthusiasm.” "John Qiiincy .idavis—TXia scholar and the tjat( snian.” “ William H. V.ruwford—Too henvy fur the caucus, too lijflit for the people—-the one sunk onder him, the other cani»ot grasp him.” Since that time, a great change has ta- licn plo.ce,—not in Mr. Adams, for he is still as much “ the scholar and the states- liian,” as he was then,—but in those who toasted him, and paid a willing tribute to ^lis merits. It is now deemed proper and justifiable, on the ground, we pre sume, that “ the end justifies the means,” Jo dehy to Mr. Adums the possession of any ine good quality, cither of nUnd or lieart', and to hold him up to public view us destitu;e of talents and honesty, and Itidfserving the respect and gratitude ol' country, v\hicli he has honorably and •^^ijlhfully servtU froiji youth tg manhood, ui.d fiom riiaiiho'od to old age. As grcula change has taken place, too, in the senti ment ol these gentlemen and their friends in regard to Mr. C.—he was then abused and traduced, he is now bepraised and endowed with dfstiiiguislied virtues t— and yet this gentleman has not changed— he was then the estimable citizen that he is now. But he is not now in the way j and it is matter of policy to conciliate his friends. A system of political ethics, which can thus make a man an angel to day, Sc a devil to-morrow, and vice versa, cannot but receive the reprobation of a virtuous community ; and those who act upon such a system, will in the end find that “honesty is the best policy,” and that consistency and truth will ultimately triumph over duplicity and intrigue. A large meeting of the friends of the Administration, was held in Baltimore on the 5th instant. The number present was computed at 1500. “The whole character of the meeting,” says the Bal timore Patriot, “ was highly satisfacto ry, and afforded the strongest evidence that the “bone and sinew” of Baltimore is in favor of the present Administration, and will give a triumphant vote for the re-election of John Quincy Adams.” We have not room for the preamble and res olutions adopted at the meeting—they 'are firm but dignified, and form a pleas ing contrast to the violence and abuse characteristic of most of the proceedings of the opposition meetings; and will r,o doubt exert a salutary influence on the public mind in Maryland. The foreign news in this week’* paper is of considerable importance. The appointment of Mr. Canning as premier, is considered as a triumphofthe popular party,over thcIlighTory and the Aristocracy of England. Mr. Canning sprung from the people, and has risen to his pre sent eminence by the force of his own talents, unaided by the adventitious circumstances of high birth or hereditary nobility. Mr. LefRer is elected to congress in the Wheeling District, Virginia, by a majority of 4i3 votes over Mr. Johnson, member ofthe last Congress. In announcing the election of Mr. I.elller, the Wheeling Gazette says—“ We will not refrain from expressing our gratlfica. tioa and congratulating the District on tlie result of this election. Mr. Leffler will make a respectable and useful representative, and is a decided friend of the present administration, and ofthe common sense construc tion of the Federal Constitution.” The Circuit Court of the U. States, for the 'District of North-Carolina, met in this City on Saturday last, and ad journed the same day> there being but little business on the docket. Chief Jus tice Marshall delivered a very lucid and elaborate opinion on a question of law, reserved at the last Court, in the suit of Whitaker vs. Freeman^ for defamation. The defendant in that suit, had pleaded ngt futility and justification^ and it was re served as a point for the court to decide whether he had not deprived himself of the benefit of the first plea, by entering the latte/. The opinion of the Court was in favor of the defendant, and the verdict of \he jury for IS'OO dollars was set aside. A new trial however was granted to the plaintiff, wiih leave to amend his declar ation. Raleigh Register. The Board for Internal Improvements met in this city, on Saturday last, agree ably to appointment, and adjourned yes terday. All the members were at this meeting. Instructions were given to Mr. Nash, the recently engaged Civil Engineer from the Slate of New-York, for surveying, levelling and inspecting the Swamp lands of this State, and in con junction with Mr. Brazier, forthwith to effect this object, agreeably to an act of last session. Mr. Nash accordingly set out yesterday for Newbern, with a view of commencing his operatioi»s on a swamp lying in the neighborhood of Cat I'ish Lake, and about the Head of Wiiile Oak River, Measures were also taken for resuming operations on the Cape Fear below Fayetteville, where there are five or six Shoals yet to be reduced, as soon as the state of the river will admit.

The adjournment, how ever, was carried. It is impossible for us at this distance, to conjecture who will be Mr. Canning’s associates, /i'he Times of April 11 says —that he, Mr. Canning, having refused to accept the station of Premier uidess with unrestrained authority to form a Cabinet, had carried his point and was perfectly free. Lord Granville, the British ambassa dor at Paris, is mentioned lor the foreign Secretary, and Mr. Scarlett as the suc cessor of the Lord Chancellor. The stock market on the 1 Uh, was much agitated by the reports concern ing the formation of the mirdstry. Con sols opened at 8oi, and fell to y3. There are no quotations subsequent to the ap pointment of Mr. Canning. [• Lord Sldmoiith and Lord Bexley, we are informed by an Lnj^lish gentleman, wcm not members ofthe cabinet.]—t'.u. Patuiot. Portugal 071(1 !^pain.—It is said that the affairs of Portugal are assuming a more seriouM aspect. (All French acco\ints of the Peninsular afl'airs, however, must be taken with many grains of allowance.) The rebels, as they are called, have been victorious, and it is evident that the Bri tish must send heavy reinforcements, or the troops they have there already will be beaten. The Indicateur of Boicleaux says they will be reinforced considerably, and adds, that appearances are more than ever for war. Spain and the Portuguese rcvohitionits arc on the best terms, and France, no doubt,urges them on. The Quotidienneconiainsthe followit^g extract of a private letter of the 31st of March, from Madrid—“ The most com plete harmony prevails between the Por tuguese royalists and the Spanish author ities, who have received them. The Marquis de Chaves has had horses bought at Toro, M'‘dina, and i'uenie, and a .sin gular circumstance is that the Portuguese royalists have a great imm!)er of arms of English manufacture.” The Princess regent of Portugal, has suspended the act of amnesty granted to the soldiers who had taken part with the rebels. The Echo du Midi mentions the dis covery of a conspiracy that had been formed at tlievery gales of Madrid. The consijirators are saitl to have been 800 in number, and 27 of them have been shot. One of the leaders, upon promising to reveal the details of tin* plot, was spared and conducted to Madrid. The interior trouides of Spain increase. In Catalonia, armed bands arc luiming ihrough the country crying Vive Charles V.—Death de Ferdinand \'H.—Vive Charles V. and the Inciuistion.

SUAKSi'KAUG. The philosophical historian and anti quary surveys the different stales of so ciety which have existed in different ages of the world, with a mixture of |)leasure and pain. Pain for the folly and misery which superstition has produced among men; and pleasure at their restora tion from darkness to light. It is not my present purpose to give a general history of superstition, as it has existed in all ages of the world; but to merely give a few Hints from memory as u bea con to the rising generation. In the history of superstition, the Crusades, a war of extermination of 200 years duration, hold the pre-eminence o- ver all others, as a monument of human folly, and which will stand as such, to be viewed by all future generations. Albeit this war existed two centuries, and the number of human lives sacrificed was immense on both sides, yet its object was not obtained. The infidels would not yield up the land of their fathers, and are still in possession of the Holy City to this very hourj and may hold it for hundreds of centuries lo come. Egypt, as wc are informed by IJ«rodo- lus and other learned historians, was the theatre, and continues to be the most wretchcd abode of superstition in the world. India, China, 8cc. might be mentioned as nations deeply imbued with superstition; and it is to be feared that they will continue so for many cen turies, the exertions of missionaries to the contrary notwithstanding. And Greece, classic Greece !—the land of philo sophers, warriors and poets, was also tinctured with superstition, but of a more reiiued and harmless cliaracter than that above enumerated. Imperial Rom/', the mistress of the world, had her tetnjde of Jlugurit f—Here Judicial Jlstroloi'y was taught as a science, as the pupils are taught in modern schools. All nations have been tinctured with superstition.— As my limits, however, will not permit myenlei ing into particular cases of su perstitious folly, as recorded in the laws of l-ngland, 8cc. Uc. I must conclude, by reciuesting all teachers of common schools, lo make it a part of their duty to deliver occasional lectures against that hidefius monster, superstition. When j the mind is young, and like soft wax, as Departed this life, at his residence on MaL ard Creek, in this county, on th« 4th ult., Capt. Jon5t (iiLMEH, in the 5.)d yeai* of his agi'.
