From a conscientious convic tion of the unsuspected honesty both moral and political; the de devoted patriotism and distin guished talents, promptitude and decision of character,vhich have characterised the conduct of Oeu. Jackson in the most try ing emergencies, the undersign ed cany espoused his cause. He has seen nor heard nothing to weaken his confidence in him, but on the contrary much to confirm him in his oiiinion. He now pledges himself that, if he is elected, he will vote for the Heko of Orleans as Pre sident, and the Hon. John C. Calhoun as Vice-President of the United States. W. H. LOCK HART.

Albert Gallatin. EJenton, Oct. 19. .Drown ed, on Friday last, in Mackey's rreek, negro Frank, belonging to George Outlaw, Esq. of Ber tie county. Frank has been en gaged for many years as a ferry man between this and Mackey's ferry; and was, we learn, very much intoxicated when he fell overboard. Gaz. Delaware. At the election held on Tuesday 12th inst. in j i i i c t - me siaie oi .ueianare, .uouis M'Lane, the federal candidate, was re-elected member of Con gress by a majority of 221 over l)r. Naudain. The political complexion of the legislature of Delaware is as tollows: six le deralists and three democrats in Senate. In the House of Re presentatives, thirteen federal ists and eight democrats. The electoral vote, it is said, will be snvea to Mr. Crawford. New-Jersey. A Conven tion of delegates from all the coun ties in the state of New-Jersey, was held at Trenton on the 19th inst. when an electoral ticket was formed in favor of General Jackson. Rhode-Island. The Consti tution adopted by the Conven tion lately held in Rhode-Island, has been rejected by the peo ple majority 320. Indiana. Delegates from the several counties in Indiana con vened at Salem, on the lGth ult. and nominated an Electoral Ticket favorable to the election of Gen. Jackson. It is said there is a considera ble bar, a short distance below the Orchard, which frequently prevents vessels from "going out" until a rise in the river; we have frequently heard the mer chants in this place, remark that "our tobacco was a month sroins: from Weldon to Norfolkbut it was three fourths of the time in a mile of the starting place," and when it arrives, is very much damaged and. frequently a con siderable loss, in consequence of neglect, or bad management by either the boatmen, the a gent or some other person on the route, and the misfortune is, it is never ascertained at what point, or in whose hands the in jury was sustained. It is believed that by locking in the river at Weldon, the up per country trader would be much benefitted by a compeli- tion of markets, or depots. Hal ifax is only a tew miles below Weldon, anil we understand there rarely, if ever, any diffi culty occurs, at, or below that place, that at all times, boats of 50 or 00 tons burden can with ease, either descend or ascend koanoke irom or to, that town. The wish as far as we can dis cover, and we have taken some trouble to ascertain the public sentiment, is. that the locks should forthwith be commen ced, and completed as soon as possible, we can then trade to eldon, Halifax, Plymouth," E denton or elsewhere, as may suit our convenience. The Legislature of North Carolina has appropriated $25.- uuu, tor the special purpose ol locking in at Weldon's Orchard, but the President and directors of the company at r late meeting: declined accepting it, for that purpose. I he annual meetm of the stockholders takes place on the second Monday in No vember next, at which time the subject will again be discussed. We trust that the stockholders will attend, and vote upon that important question, and such as cannot conveniently attend in person will appoint proxies, anc jrive them instructions how to vote upon that question; it is a subject oi vital consequence to the company, and one in which deep interest is felt by the citi- zens on me uoanoxc ana its branches.

TFhethev is Gin, Rum, or Brandy the. most fFholcsome? A question that is often asked. We have heard it defined by hypothetical reasoning, from the following experiment: -A piece of raw liver was put into a glass of gin, another into a glass of rum, and a third into a glass of brandy. That in the gin was, in a given time, parti ally decomposed; that in the rum, in the same time, not di minished; and that in the bran dy was quite dissolved. The argument deduced was, that the spirit in which the liver re mained unchanged namely, rum, was the most wholesome. Now we differ completely in our opinion; for we know that spirit cannot thus effect living animal matter: therefore the stomach cannot, like the piece of liver, be dissolved, and we think that spirit which decom posed the animal substance namely, the brand', is most wholesome, because, it is the most likely to dissolve the ani mal food in the stomach.

TTTE, whose names are under f v ncath assigned, do certify that all reports having a tendency to impeach the virtue of Mr?. MARTHA DICKEN, widow of Benjamin Dicken, deceased, we be lieve to be malicious and false, and should we have spoken any thins which has been so construed as to have a tendency to impeach her virtue,we acknowledge it was mere ly the effect of passion and not our real intention and further, we a gree that two lawsuits instituted against R. H. Dicken and Lewis B. K. Dicken in the Superior Court of law in the county of Halifax for slander may be dismissed at cur cost, and that we will have this certificate published in the papers of the Free Press for one week.

TJ UNA WAY, or was stolen from Al; the Subscriber, on the nip-ht rf the 8th instant, a hrip-lit rrmlnttrk woman ( slaved and her child.atrirl of about four years old. This wo man ran away from the Subscriber, executor of John Hunt, deceased, in the summer of 1808, and passed as a free woman, by the name of PATSEY YOUNG, until about the first of June last, when she was apprehended as a runaway. On the sixth of the same month I ob tained possession of her in the town of Halifax, since which time she and her child ELIZA have, in compliance with an order of the county court of Franklin, been sold, when the Subscriber became the purchaser. She spent the greater part of the time she was runaway (say about sixteen years) in the neighborhood of, and in the town of Halifax, one or two summers at Rocklandine, where I am informed ' she cooked for the hands employed to work on the canal; she also spent some of her time in Ply mouth, her occupation while there not known. At the above named places she has many acquaintances and friends. She is a tall, spare woman, thin face and lips, long sharp nose, her fore teeth in a state of decay. She is an excellent seam stress, can make gentlemen's and ladies' dresses, is a good cook and weaver, and I am informed is a good cake baker and brewer, &c. by which occupations she princi pally gained her living. Some time during last summer she married a free man of color, named Achrael Johnson, who had been livine- in and about Plymouth, and followed boating on the Roanoke. Since his marriaee he leased a farm of Mr. James Cotton, of Scotland Neck, (Halifax county) where he was liv ing, together with this woman. when she was taken up as a runa way slave in June last. I have but little doubt that Jehnson has con trived to seduce or steal her and child out of my possession, and wil attenint to eret them out of thi stat and pass as free persons. Should this be the case, I will give Sixty Five Dollars for his detection am! conv iction before the nrr.npr trlhn. nal in any part of this state. I will give for the apprehension of the woman and child, pn their delivery to me, or so secured in jail or other wise that I eret them. Thirtu Five Dollars. Or, I will give Twenty Five Dollars for the woman alone. and Ten Dollars for the child alone. . The proper name of the woman is riety, dui sue win nuuuuuicnange it as shp Hid before. I forewarn all owners of boats, captains and owners of vessels from taking on board or carrying away this wo- man and ner emm .uza, under the penalty of the law. MT. HUNT,' August 16, 1824. 23-tf
