FOR THE TREE PHESS. Washington, N. C. 20th litg.132. Sir: 1 am at this moment informed tliat some of Mr. Vnn Duron's friends arc of opinion that the electoral honor should have been given to some other part of this district, and that it would add strength to the ticket were it so given. With this information before me, my duty is a plain one and that isto decline the appoint ment of Elector conferred upon me by the late Jackson and Van Buren district convention and I hereby withdraw my name from said ticket. 1 suggested to the Convention the propriety of making the appointment elsewhere, and express ly stated my wish to be only known in that election as a private citizen. As I reluctantly yielded to the wishes of that body, because they thought the use of my name would increase Mr. Van Bu ren's vote in the district, so I gladly re tire, in the hope that it will add to the harmony and strength of the friends of Jackson and Van Buren. You will please make this public. JOS. B. HINTON. Mr. HENRY DEVINE, Secretary to the Convention. FOR THE FREE TRESS. Mr. Howard: 1 decline any further controversy with 'A Voter,' as I consider his style of writing undignified, unchaste, &c. in the extreme. The Campbells arc coming. FOR THE FREE TRESS. Just popt inhark'ee, Mr. Philo, will ye be after wailing a bit? It's no busi ness of mine, ye know, but then I should like to know if ye be not in a small bit of a difficulty? P the faith, Philo, how comes it that eight poetic lines, when they appeared originally as the produc tion of the facetious and erudite Fielding, claimed every body's respect and admi ration, should, when they appear as the offspring of the pericranium of poor Paul Pry, upon the elements and composition of which you have with so much dignity sat in judgment, appear so much like ri baldry and balderdash? Ah, ha! thus wc gono man intrudes but Paul Pry, and no man is a rogue but Van Buren. Take care, take care, Sir- if ye would be after being a critic, you will have, I assure you, occasion to pop into many a work of the literati, the humorous and the experienced. But how now, Philo Will ye just tell us what all this rigma role has to do with that miserable, weather-beaten, tempest-tost, shattered and equalid concern that weeklv arrives here from Plymouth? To the 'point, Sir, to the point if you in fact mean to appear Lere as attorney for this coach, enter your pleas, Sir, let us join issue, and argue the merits of the cause. Now, Philo, if you will only say, you believe that this shabby affair is just what it ought to be, and ap pears just as it ought to appear, why then say so, and as Farmer Ashfield says, let us "argufy the topic." Now I do con tend that I never intrude, 1 wouldn't in trude for the world, but perchance the arrow has stuck at any rate the pigeon has fluttered. Aye, tell us what ye be? A brainless nabob, a pennyless dandy, a would-be London cockney, or some "goblin damned?" "Hands to," as the devil said when he fought the wild cat Out upon you, out upon vou, Sir, for as arrant a dandy as ever strutted Pall Mall Yes, "thou art the man"-you are the "thing. Between you and me, fearful odds against mewhat, 1, a paltry scrib bler, a just merely plain, modest, decent man, possessed too, as Philo says, with that contemptible and vulgar quality of some intellectual ability, it seems must contend against a swarm of dandies and 'things. 1 es, Sir, a full swarm of them, for where they are as thick as blackber ries w.hat can I expect but that when one is in limbo, the whole will flock to his assistance? Done, Sir, done my pen and my pericranium shall now repose. Like the man in bedlam, "the world say I am mad, and I say the world is mad, and outvoted I must be." Good nHit Mr. Philo, good night my time can be better spent, in giving receipts to my debtors for what they owe, or perchance in popping my vision .through a quizzing glass, at some pretty lassie, and yours no doubt in stitching up the cushions and harness, currying the barber-shaved horse, administering aliment, like the good Samaritan, to the unfortunate dri ver, or in shortening some two or three feet, the shafts attached to the Plymouth U. S. mail coach. Philo, Philo, say, Mr. Philo, What did make yc sarvc me so? What did make yc criticise us, With such disgraceful enterprizes? What did make ye interfere, my boy, With such a paltry, toy? Have I disturbed, have I perplexed yc? Pray tell me, what has vexed yc? Fielding writes and so do I, I Jut one writes well, the other dry; But Philo knows not one from t'other, So I beg him hush his silly pother. PAUL PRY. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1832. (TF'We expect to be enabled to insert the communication of "Lowndes" in our next. The Cholera. We arc truly gratified to an nounce, that this dreadful scourge is rapidly cea sing Us ravages everv where in this countrv. with the exception of a few places. In Elizabeth City, the only place in this State where any well authenticated cases of Cholera have occurred, since our last advices there have been 25 addi tional cases, but only 4 deaths. At Norfolk, for the 24 hours ending on Satur day, 25th ult. there were reporlcd 6 interments on the 26lh, 9 on the 27lh, 7 --on the 2Slh, 7 on the 29lh, 3 on the 30th, 9, (2 Cholera) on the 31st, 2, neither of whom died of Cholera. Al Portsmouth and Suffolk the disease has al most totally disappeared. A letter in the Richmond Compiler states that 6 cases of Cholera occurred on the 20th, and 2 on the 24th ult. among-the soldiers at Old Point Comfort, 4 of whom have died 10 cases had al so occurred among the black laborers without the Fort. At Washington City, on the 28th, there were reported 2 new cas s and 1 death by Cholera. At Baltimore, on the 27th, 23 deaths the report for the week ending the 27th, gave 121 deaths by Cholera the preceding wrek, 51. At Philadelphia, on the 2Cth, 30 new cases and 6 deaths. At New York, on the 26ih, 50 new cases and 23 deaths. We hear of solitary cases occurring in many of the northern and eastern cities and towns, but in no place to any considerable extent. KPThe opponents of Gen. Jackson in this btate are exerting themselves to the utmost, in the endeavor to get up an Electoral Ticket for Clay and Sergeant, and will probably succeed not in obtaining the vote of the Stale for their candidates, but in exhibiting their weakness. At the last Presidential election, Gen. Jackson received about three-fourths of our votes and we much mistake public sentiment if his popu larity has not increased pnnhlpr-M happy divisions among the friends of the admin istration, in regard to the Vice Presidency, are uuiy somewnai encouraging to the opposition, but they are unable to profit by them. . ftP'On our first onsre will be found the Ad dress to the people of South Carolina, issued by the two Senators and six of the Representatives of that State, at the close of the recent session of Congress. b rom subsequent ttiovements it is undoubtedly the intention of the maioritv of the citizens of South Carolina to resist the operation of the 1 anfl law, at all hazards. In Georgia, the people are also much agitated on this subject large public meetings have been held at Ath ens, Lexington, &c and a General Committee appointed of which Judge Berrien is Chairman who have issued a Circular Address to the citi zens of the Southern States, stating that it is their purpose to recommend meetings to be call ed in the several counties in Georgia, to aD po.nt delegates to a State Convention, with a view to obtain a general expression of public opinion advisinjr a simih.. j- " o.her S.a.cs for ,he purpo of 'conv fn "hei northern brethren of their united determiTmion haTftl Pr,is-s'-"-anll rem rt " SnV '"Ttlint !',at ,he Conventions in the Southern Sta es should commence their sitting wait a knowledge ,f lhe yieW9 and intention cacli Stale, which may enable them so toregulatf; their deliberations as to secure perfect concert and harmony of action." Conventions will un questionably be held in South Carolina and Geor gia Alabama is beginning to move, and it is confidently anticipated that Mississippi will also unite with them. North Carolina and Virginia so far appear calm and unshaken what effect the movements in the other Southern States may have upon them, time only can determine. Unhappily our Southern brethren are so much divided as to the "mode and measure of redress," that we fear any action upon the subject, wheth er by Convention or Nullification, will be ren dered abortive by the powerful opposition which either mode will meet with among themselves. We hope and trust that amid the strife of con tending parties the Union may be preserved, and that we may soon meet with "a safe deliverance" from the unjust exactions of the Tariff. From the Richmond Whig. South Carolina. The strife waxes warmer and warmer. Innumerable public meetings are held throughout the State, denoting the highest excitement, breathing the most determined spirit, and leaving no doubt whatever, that Nullification will be enforced. We annex an interesting let ter from Mr. Calhoun, in reply to an invitation to attend a public meeting at Colleton, and an ar ticle from a Charleston paper. Col. Drayton has addressed th State in explanation of the late change in the Tariff, and its inculcation of mode ration and acquiescence in lhat change for the truth of which we daily witness in our present struggle, in favor of liberty. But as great as have been the difficulties en countered from that quarter, they are now, in a great measure, surmounted Our cause and our motives are now much bet ter understood, than at the commence ment of the struggle. The ungrounded fear, that the right of a State to inter pose in order to protect her reserved powers, against the encroachments of the General Government, would lend to dis union, is rapidly vanishing; and as it dis appears, it will be seen, that so far from endangering, the right is essential to the preservation of our system as essential, as the right of suffrage itself. If the lat ter be necessary to protect us, against the abuse of power on the part of our rulers, the former is no less necessary (o protect the weaker instruments of the communi ty against the stronger. A provision, to compel the parties to be just to one ano ther, is as indispensable, as one to com pel the representative to be faithful to his constituents; and it would be quite as na tural to expect to preserve liberty without the one, as without the other without the right of interposition, or something present. It will produce no offect. We will analogous, as without the right of suf- however present it to our readers as deserving their respectful attention. Fort Hill, 30th July, 1832. Gentlemen: I have been honored by your note of the 24th inst. inviting me in behalf of the Free Trade and State Rights Party of St. Johns', Colleton, to partake of a public dinner to be given on the 15th of next month, on Edisto island, in honor of State Rights and constitu tional liberty. Devoted as I am, to those great ob jects, I sincerely regret that my engage ments, and the season of the year, pre vent me from accepting your invitation. Had it been in my power to attend, las sure you, that it would have afforded me great gratification to join on the occa sion, the citizens of your parish, who have so distinguished themselves by thcib ear ly and enlightened zeal, in the great struggle which this State has maintained for so many years, and under such ad verse circumstances, in favor of constitu tional liberty. Never was a cause so pure and patriotic, more grossly misrep resented, or more unjustly assailed; nor has one, under so many difficulties, ever been more firmly and successfully sus tained. With a powerful opposition within; with the discountenance of sur rounding States; with the whole promise and patronage of the General Govern ment against us; assailed alike by ils par tizans and its opponents, charged with the design of disunion and revolution; against all we have firmly maintained our stand. It is in the order of Providence, that a good cnuse, worthily sustained, never fails in the end to prosper; and we accordingly find, that ours has advanced in spite of every difficulty, till it is now so well understood and so firmly established as to be placed beyond the reach of con tingencies, if we but persevere, as we have begun. In the short space of four year;, our doctrine has overspread our own State, and is rapidly taking roots be yond our own limits; and we may confi dently anticipate, that in a few years, it will be the established political faith. I feel myself authorized in speaking thus, not only from the rapid advanceswhieh our cause has already made, but from a deep conviction that it is founded in truth, and that the cause of truth, support ed as it ought to be, will, in the end, pre vail. Of one thing we may be assured that without the recognition of our doc trine, our political system must end, and that speedily, in corruption and despot ism. Our danger is the loss of liberty and not disunion, as is honestly supposed by many opposed to us. So obvious and great are the blessings of Union, that all See anfl nnnrnnmin t. ...t.:i .1 rr..fc mem, wmie me en- franc. We accordingly find, that no State has been able to defend its free dom, whose government has not been so organized as to secure, by some device, to each great interest of the community, the power of self-protection. Thus thinking, I have entire confi dence, that the time will come, when our doctrine, which has been so freely de nounced, as traitorous and rebellious, will be hailed, as being the great con servative principle of our admirable sys tem of government, and when those who have so firmly maintained it under so ma ny trials, will be ranked among the greats benefactors of the country. With great respect, I am, &c. J. C. CALHOUN. Raltigh, Aug. 31. It is stated in the last Fayetteville Observer, that the office of Governor of the State is at present va cant, in consequence of the acceptanco by Governor Stokes of the appointment recently conferred on him by the Presi dent of the United States, and of the re fusal of David F. Caldwell, Esq. the Speaker of the Senate, to act in his stead. We think it proper to mention that the statement is premature. Gov. Stokes continues in this city, in the discharge of his Executive functions, and will we un derstand, hold the office till near the time of the meeting of the approaching Gene ral Assembly. Register. 0?" We learn that the schooner Frances Ann, Capt. BisseII,of and from this port, bound to the West Indies, foundered at sea on the 19th June. Two of the crev lostthe captain, and remainder of the crew were taken off the wreck by a ves sel bound to Madeira. Edenton Mis. Salt. Advices from Nassau, of July 23, state that the salt season at Turks Island has commenced prosperously, and the prices had risen to 20 cents the bushel. p.rnnnlimnnta i . i -.Mw(tli9 xjt jjuwer anu me necessity ot resisting it early, are less clearly per ceived and felt. Hence any efficient ef fort against arbitrary and despotic pow er, however patriotic and constitutional, wil be opposed by the cry of disunion, and the dread of so great a disaster, how ever unfounded, will operate more pow erful on many, than the still greater, but ress perceptible danger of despotism; the Appeal from the Poles to the U. States. The Boston Courier publishes a document sign ed by the Polish National Committee, addressed to President Jackson, to enquire whether if the Poles should be forced to leave Eurone. bv the persecution of their enemies, they would be af forded an asylum in the United States. After speaking in high terms of the sympathy expres sed for them by our countrymen in Paris, and acknowledging the contributions made in this country for their relief, besides retracing the his tory of their late heroic, struggle against Russia, and the sufferings they have since endured, the Ccfmmiltee conclude in these words: "So much sympathy shown to the Po lish cause, emboldens, us to hope that the government of the United States will not deny us its assistance. If it should hap pen through a fatality without example in the records of the world, that the Poles, persecuted in Europe, should be under the hard and cruel necessity of directing their last course towards a transatlantic shore, they would demand friendship from the United States, in whoso country they know misfortune is ever sure to find a refuge. Nevertheless, as the number of our countrymen might amount to be tween 3 and 4000 men. destitute of arms
