The following is the state of the polls: Hawkins. Crudup. Granville 709 872 Warren 720 03 Franklin 514 42G Nash 597 1GI Majority for Hawkins, one thousand and eighteen votes. GThe Globe of the Sth inst. contains the "Address to the Dem ocratic Republicans of the United States," by the Committee ap pointed for that purpose by the Baltimore Coovention. It occu pies upwards of ten columns of that paper, closely printed, and consequently is of too great length for insertion in our paper, which we extremely regret, as it enforces in a happy and energetic manner, the urgent necessity of harmony and union in the approaching Presidential contest. We may, however, give some extracts from it hereafter. Riots in Baltimore. We learn from the Baltimore Republican of Monday last, that that city had been for some nigbts previous, a scene of the most alarming and extensive riots. TLe riots com menced on the preceding Wednes day night, and originated, it ap pears, from the management of the affairs of the Bank of Mary land, which had closed doors, and the indignation of the mob was directed against the property of the President and directors of that institution, two of whom had their houses broken open aod the fur niture destroyed. We learn further, frorn a gen tleman direct from Baltifliore, that the police being insufficient to disperse the mob, the Major call ed out the military, and that 30 or 40 persons were killed or wounded. The city had mt be come quiet, when our informant left. (IT'The excitement in Missis sippi, in regard to the con templated insurrection, appears to be subsiding. The Clinton (Miss.) Gazette states that five white men had been bung, and some ten or fifteen negroes. Lynch Law Operations. The Cincinnati Whig of July 23d, says, "a gentleman of respectabil ity in this city, has to-day received a letter from Madison, (Miss.) which states that eighteen more )f the gambling crew have been taken, after a severe chase, (in which some of the pursuing party were killed) and were waiting ex ecution under the same laws as those put in force at Vicksburg." ClA meeting of Southern gen tleman was held in New York a few days ago, for the purpose of taking such steps as might be deemed necessary in regard to the operations of the anti-slavery So cieties, of which a number have recently been established in the Northern and Eastern States. The principal suojeci brought be fore the meeting is embraced in the following resolution reported by a committee: "uIesolved, That a committee of two be appointed by the chairman of this meeting to correspond with the intelligent and distinguished individ uals of each slave-holding State, re questing them to call meetings and to nominate Delegates to meet at some suitable time and place, to take into consideration the proper course for the slave-holding States to adopt in the present alarming crisis." This resolution was opposed by Mr. Foster Georgia, and oth ers, and after considerable debate, rejected, and the following sub stitute adopted, with only two dissenting voices: " Resolved, That whether slavery in our country be an evil or not, is a question belonging solely to the htatc in which it is tolerated, and whether it shall be continued or abol ished, is also a question which be longs solely to those States to deter mine." "Resolved, That the People of the South cannot for a moment in dulge any serious apprehension that the efforts of the abolitionists on the subject of slavery can seriously affect public opinion, even in the North; and that we rely with confi dence on the intelligence of our Northern brethern to frustrate and defeat the mischievous schemes of designing demagogues and deluded fanatics. But should a crisis, which we earnestly deprecate.unhappily ar rive, we warn our fellow citizens that our rights of property are sacred, and will be maintained." These resolutions breathe a spirit which we believe will meet with the hearty concurrence of the whole South, and cannot e objectionable to our Northern brethren. Fay. Ols. Petersburg Rail Road. We learn that there is a constant in crease in the business of the Pe tersburg Rail-Road, as will be seen by the following statement. The receipts of the Company: In Julv, 1S33, were $2,452 July, 1S34 4,951 July, IS35 0,875. We perceive by the Philadel phia papers that sales of stock in this Road have beeti made in that city at $115. Petersburg Int. V?5 A mcnliurr n f C? t n poL PPnP lC was recently held in Charleston,) S. C. at which a resolution was adopted pledging the individuals composing the meeting "not to purchase from, or traffic directly or indirectly with any Aboli tionist." The preamble to the resolutions, remarks that "the Merchants of Charleston cannot reconcile it to themselves to trans act business with Abolitionists, when they know, that, by so do ing, they add fuel to the Fire that is intended to consume them. They have therefore, assembled in a bod)', for the purpose of form ing an Association, the object of which shall be to discontinue all commercial connexion whatever with the enemies of their country; and such we consider the Aboli tionists. The Merchants of Charleston are fully aware that the course of these Fanatics can not be stopped by the adoption of these measures, unless similar meetings are held by the mer chants of all slave holding States opposed to an open violation of their rights. We hope to see our example generally followed, and if we mistake not the feelings of the South, it will be." ib. (TT'The Richmond Whig of Saturday, contains the annexed letler from the Postmaster Gener al addressed to the Postmaster at Charleston, S. C. in relation to the transmission of incendiary newspapers and pamphlets. We did not suppose that the Postmas ter General possessed the power to authorize the detention of these papers. t will be seen, however, that he has wisely left the matter to the discretion of the Postmas ters; and we have no doubt that they will put an immediate stop to the circulation of those vile and seditious publications. The Post master General justly tells them that "we owe an obligation to tlje laws, but a higher one to the com munities in which we live, and, if the former be perverted to destroy the latter, it is patriotism to disre gard them." Let them, therefore, cease to forward any Abolition paper to its destination, and they will find themselves supported in the act by the entire South. ib. Post Office Department, ) August 4lh, 1835. ) P. M. Charleston, S. C. Sir: In your letter of the 29lh ult. just received, you inform me that by the steam boat mail from New York your office had been filled with pamphlets and tracts upon slavery: that the public mind was highly excited upori the sub ject: that you doubled the safety of the mail itself out of your pos session: that you had determined, as the wisest course, to detain these papers: and you now ask instructions from the Department. Upon a careful examination oi the law, 1 am satisfied that the Postmaster General has no legal authority to exclude newspapers from the mail, nor prohibit their carriage or delivery on account of the character or tendency, real, or supposed. Probably, it was not thought safe to confer on the head of an executive department a pow er over the press, which might be perverted and abused. Hut 1 am not prepared to direct you to forward or deliver the pa pers of which you speak. The Post Ofiice Department was crea ted to serve the people oi each and nil of the United blaleii, and not to be used as the instrument of their destruction. None of the papers detained have been forwar- .l.wl ...

By no act, or direction of mine, official or private, could I be in duced to aid, know ingly, in giving circulation to papers of this des criotion. dirertlv. We owe an obligation to the laws, out a nign- er one to the communities in which we live, and if the former be perverted to destroy the latter, . . . i i i i i it is patriotism io oisregaru mem. Entertaining these views, I cannot sanction, ana win not condemn the slep you have taken. Your justification must be look- ed for in the character of the pa pers detained, and the circum stances by which you are sur rounded. Gambling. Public attention seems to have been directed late ly, in Baltimore, to the proceed ings of some gambling scoundrels, who are said to be making fear fid mischief in that city. They have their regular decoys, and all the arts and appliances of a finished London hell. A writer in the Chronicle says that there are 50U professional gamblers now in Bal timore, who carry on their nefari ous business nightly with great profit to themselves, but ruin to many unwary victims. Drive them out, Baltimore! drive them out! They are almost as great a curse to a city as intemperance. JV. Y. Com. Adv. fXTA mysterious paragraph, which appeared in a Baltimore paper a day or two ago, is fully explained by the subjoined letter, from a correspondent of the Bos ton Atlas. Baltimore, July 23, 1835. Would you like a piece of gossip this sultry weather? Our city just at this time is full of it. There is a man residing in Baltimore by the name of Captain . He is per haps thirty odd years of age has a family is tolerably well look ing is said to be fascinating in his manners can spout French and Italian very fluently has for some years past run a great rig in Baltimore, in the way of keeping a young ladies' riding school, running omnibusse, until he ran them out of sight and himself out of funds getting into private broils, quarrels, fighting, having duels, getting kicked out of lyceums, and so forth. He has been almost the terror of the town. Every body, almost, despised him; and yet every body, aJmost, has been afraid of him. He has, had a whipping at last, however, a severe one, almost as severe as it was'just. Capt. formerly boarded with a Mrs. S. who has for a long time kept a respectable school ior young misses. One of the young ladies attending this school is a Miss W. from Washington. Yesterday, her guardian, Mr. Baylies, of Washington, beinyi this city, called at the house of Mrs. S. who has been for some time confined to her house with indisposition, to see his ward. He was told that she was not then in, but should be sent for. A person was sent; Baylies also look his hat and went out. He over took the girl who was going after Miss W. and asked her where she was. The girl at first refused to tell him. This created suspicion, and he soon prevailed upon her to show him the house, which was uone other than Capt. 's,- who, although his family staying in the country, still occupies or has occupied, a house in town. Mr. Baylies rang; a servant came to the door, he asked for Captain. The servant said he was sick, and could not be seen. Mr. Baylies said he would see him pushed the servant aside, and entered the house. He was proceeding up stairs when he met B ; words were exchanged and so were 0l0Ws! Magistrates and citizens, j attracted by the noise, rushed in. j jiss y and a daughter of Mrs. j made their appearance in grand dishabille! The combatants I I I : I! ( were separaieo: i ran inio ins room, got his pistols, and aimed one at Baylies, which was no sooner done than the latter rushed upon him like a tiger, beat him down, and smashed the life almost j out of him; the spectators stand ing by and rejoicing to see the "Devil get his due!" B delivered himself into the hands of the law last night, and went to tail lor sale keeping. " . j Medical aid had to be sent for and, so vere was his beating, that he j ,a"(j a umbef of fits last night, j if je ,at 110t gone lo jai ,e i would have been killed by the j euraged populace, who assembled ;n multitudes round his house lo demolish it, and lo tar and feather , The excitement to day is ve ry great. 1 fie wretch will surely be killed if he ever makes his ap pearance here atrain. His seduc- lion of these two vouiifx tnrls has capped the climax of his crimes Mrs. S.'s school, upon which she depended lor support, is broken up, but, oh heavens, what must be the inevitable fate of her daughter and Miss ? 1 have another astonishing case of seduction to inform you of. The wife of a high dignitary of this state, who has figured in the councils of the nation, and of his native state, with much honor to himselfand his country his wife, I say, a smart, buxom mother of more than half a score of children, has been seduced by, or has seduced, a young lawyer of this State. "Tell it not in Gath! Publish it not in Askalon." More metamorphosing of the sexes. A black being called Sa .ran inompson, ajia uressea in rin ii i female apparel, was taken to the upper police on Saturday, charg en wiiu stealing a purse, a ring and pocket-book, the property of Mrs. Lozier, No. 55 Renwick street. 1 he prisoner had lived with the above lady for some time, as chamber maid or maid of all work, until the period of the rob bery; suspicion falling upon Sa rah, (so called) an arrest took place, and the lynx-eyed officer discovered a small sprouting of down on the upper hp of the pris oner, which seemed too sturdy to appertain lo the petticoat tribe; and on further investigation the said Sarah turned out to be M Peter Thompson, a full-blooded he-negro, nineteen years of age, who confessed his crime and was committed. He was raised, as he says, in Tarrytown. W Y. Courier. The Abolitionists. A friend has transmitted to us a No. of ihe New York Morning Herald, from, which we extract the following startling paragraph, stating the immense printing resources of the Abolitionists. Pet. Con. Abolition movements. The A bolitionistsof New York, have an immense printing establishment in Nassau street, constantly engaged in throwing off tracts, newspapers and pamphlets for gratuitous dis tribution through the U. S. mails. Three large power steam presses are at work day and night. They possess lists of every lawyer, every merchant, every person of consequence in the Southern Stales. It is supposed that this single establishment circulates by mail more papers throughout the slave-holding States, than the whole domestic press of that re gion does. The Abolitionists are certainly increasing. Latest from Europe. By the packet ship Sheffield, London pa pers to the 8th July, and Liver pool to the 9th, have been receiv ed at New YorU. 1 he prices oi American Cotton, had experinced a small decline in the Liverpool market. The most important item of intelligence is the raising of the siege of Bilboa in Spain, and the entrance into it a large reinforce ment of the Queen's troops. Preparations are making, both in France and England, to aid the Queen of Spain, with a considera ble naval and military force. The Law for carrying into ex ecution the Treaty between France and the United States, was officially published in the Moniteur on the 7th June. Wm. Cobbett died in London on the 18th June, in the 73d year of his age. Hep ublica n J ominution. FOR PUESIDENT, MAR TIN VAN UUREN, of N. Y. FOR VICE PUESIDENT, RICHARD M. JOHNSON, of Ky.
