AN AIJOMTION1ST AURKSTEL). Kxiract of a letter from Washington, dated Aifiisr, 11 Half-past 3, P. M. I never saw such a state of excitement as pre vails here at present. The person alluded to in our la&t, is Dr. Crandall, brother to the famous Pa tience Crand ill, of Rhoile Island, and was arrested yesterday evening, and conveyed to the city jail her, along a private street, to prevent his being taken by the mob. He is a steam doctor, and has lieen pretending to deliver lectures :m Botany.

About the lime it was supposed his trial would come fin, to-day j between 11 and lr o'clock, the mob assembled at (be jail, and was so great, that it was thought imprudent to bring him out, and it was poponed until this evening.

I have no doubt the mob will be ten lin.es as great as it was to-day. " I think he will be taken from jail before Q o' chck, unless it is guarded by armed men. "One of the men who seemed most anxious and most resolute in raising the mob, said they only intend to cut of both his ears, and give him a good coat of tar and feathers, but I don't think any thing short of his lite will satisfy them.

The writer says he had just returned from the jail, the trial having taken place there with locked doors. "After the trial was fiver, Mr. Bryee addressed the people, and advised them to await his final trial, and gave very good reasons for the advice; and nfler he finished, the crowd tlisjicrsed, but many said he should come out if jail le fore morning. 1 heard one man say, that several hundred would come over from (Jeorgetown for the purpose of breaking into the jail. j com pany of Marines have Iwen ordered there to guard it. But, if the mob assemble, they will Ik of little fir no account, as there would doubt less, from all I could learn, lie more than thousand ; but I think there will be no mob. oo'J Marines have gone to Baltimore." -M & Th' Albany Argus, the Van Buren organ of the State of New York, denies that the Abolition ists are in fellowship with the Van Buren party; and says they belong to ihe Whigs. But what says the Uniancip ator 1 It savs "The Whig wish saerifiee the Aliolitionitsi and their object, to the Nullifiers of the South." And what say.s the Bangor (Maine) Republican, a f rvant Van Buren organ ? Why, it congratu lates the part; on the pros;ect of having "all the pulpits, and the Anti-Slavery Society presses em ployed on the side of Mr. Van Buhkv, and doing our electioneering for u, because Col. Johnson practices rnf Aey (the Amalga nationists) teach.1'' And what says the Argu itself, when the party to which it belongs is appealed to to use the power which they possess, to put flown the Incendiaries bv the strong arm of the law within the limits of New York. Why. it seems, thev dare not risk it, for the Argu, as much opposed as its professions are to the Fanatics and their plans objects, fir sioth, to "fettering aad restricting the freedom of opinion!"

We would inform "A mtherner, mat our course has been too conspicuous on the subject ot the Abolitionists, too consistent, and too well Known to the Southern country, to render it necessary to adopt his suggestion of publishing a Can! tendering our columns to our southern brethren. That porT tion of our readers who are any ways familiar with the subject, are well aware that we have stood al most alone in committing the imuhiien whose infa mous conduct is but too soon producing the conse quences we predicted they know, that inconse quence of our defence of the rights of the South, we have been slandered and persecuted by many ot the vrv prt s-es hieli now espouse our cause they know that, in this holy warfare against fanat ielstiL, we haye lost hundreds upon hundreds of sub scribers, without its having any other etleet upon us than to increase our X"al in that cause which has now emphatically become a question of a union tir disunion of the States. Those and they are not a few, who thought we gave an unnecessary space in our columns to the exposure of their dangerous doctrines, now admit the necessity which existed for thung so, ami only wonder that they could so long have remained blind to the threatened danger. Most cordially do we rejoice in the discovery, that at length the whole press in the country has lieen roused to the necessity of bringing public opinion to operate with force against the vile incen diaries who would rashly endanger the lives of our Sourthern bretheien, and the very existence of our confederacy; though theyr have crhaps delayed too long in coming to the reseucx they are still in time, we most firmly believe, to arrest by the force of public opinion the threatened danger, and the Abolitionists already tremble at the denunciations which are showered upon them from every quarter hv the press of the Union. Our correspondent states, that if we would pub lish a card," as he suggests, it would lie republish ed by all the "Southern IMitors." No doubt ; but as the "Southern Editors" are familiar with our uniform course on this exciting question, they" can do us justice, if they are so disposed, which we. ne er doubted, without sny card from us, which would in fact imply that we are but nojr awakened to the importance of putting flown the fanatics. There would be as much propriety in our giving notice that we publish a Newspaper, as that its columns are, and alien ts hare been, open to communications from our Southern readeis on the subject of their vested rights. The hitter fact is, or at least should lie, as well known as the former ; and if it lie not, let this lie considered our card, and re-published accordingly. From the Xt ic York Evening Star. A CARD. During twenty-five years that I have been di rectly and indirectly connected with the public press, I have invariably sustained the rights, and support ed the principles of the Southern States have al ways protested against any interference with their constitutional previleges, and decried every at tempt to create excitement, or produce unhappy difficulties 6n the Slave question. Recent events, in several parts of the Southern and Western States, satisfy me, that there is a fixed determination among a body of men residing north of the potomac, to agitate and pursue the fhseussmn of '"Wt-t rights, comfort, and happiness of our fellow citizens resi ding in the Slave State. With the view of affording to those residing in that section of the Union, and also here, a channel in the North, though which they can be fully heard ir defence of their principles, their rights, their at tachment to our happy confederacy, and, in partic ular, their sentiments on this important and delicate question, I cheerfully open to them the columns of the EVFATNG STAR, in which not only those rights shall be firmly sustained, but shall be happv to make the fiaper the medium of a communication, through which their sentiments can be heard, and their w ishes made known to the people of the Uni ted Stales, M. M. NOAH. Who that is familiar with the state of society, both of the Smth and tiie North, but will acknow ledge the full f iree of the following brief paragraph from the pen of Majoi No vu ? 'T.ilk of the Slavery of the South ! Would that our free negroes were half as w ell off as comfort ably clothed and fed as well taken care of, and provided or in sickness and calamity. It is the name of slavery, not the reality. Jlere we have slavery, whites and blacks there js hliertv under the nan.e of slavery. A field negro has his cot tage, his wile and children, his easy task, his little patch of corn and potatoes, his garden and fruit, which are his revenue and property- The house servant has handsome clothing, his luxurious meals, his admitted privileges, a kind master, and indul gent mi -stress. In the South we see nothing of the poverty, crime, and abandonment of the blacks that we have at tho North. Let fanatics rave let false philosophy have sw ay this is the truth of the pic ture, and men of sense must admit it." Hecning Tiie story goes, that an old Quakeress once ex pressed her surprise that the young men should be so foolish as to run afler the girls, for she was sa tisfied that, if they would refrain from doing so, the girls would run after them. It appears that the old lady was right. It is well known, that in New I aigland there is a great excess of females, (" miles fif girls," and that in the State of Massachusetts alone, the majority' of women over the men is more than fourteen thousand. Such lieiug the case, and news having come from the West that females are so scarce, in certain sections of the country that men have been know n to ride half a day's journey merely to look at an empty petticoat, the girls of Northampton have determined to emigrate, and quite a large company of them is just on the eve of departing for the West. Fine, industrious, capa ble young women, thev are said to be. They will lie welcome. New England wives are the best in the world; and they are quite as excellent mothers.

SALISBURY: Saturday Morning, August 29, 1835 HEALTH OF OUR TOWN. " We learn w.th regret, that a report has been started abroad stating, that the Small-Pox and Scarlet Feer are racing to an alarming extent in Salisbury that tho place is literally inundated with these scourges! We are sorry that any ill-disposed persons (if done through design) could not rind better employment in the;r bu siness than propagating a falsehood so injurious to our tow n. We positively assert, from our personal know ledge, and on the authority of those informed upon the subject, that the report is totally unfounded; there docs not exist at this time a single case of Scarlet Fever in the place, nor has there existed any case in the last twelve months. And as to the Small-Fox, if it i, or has been in our village lately, its presence, as yet, has been "unseen, unheard of."' We believe that we may venture the assertion, tint tht-re is now, and has been lor the last two years, a K-as atnouni of sickness, and fewer :at!:s in Salisbury tin a any town, containing as large a population, in the State.
