We are favored with the following com
rnuntcation in reference torthe Tllectiou! in
Wilkes county.?' " -. , ; ; t.
k GEVixExtirVO'ir election is just over, and
I embrace the earhest opportunity of communis
eating- the result. The contest in this: county
has b-e(i marked with some" degree of warmth.
The Presidential question was ma2tthe.rallyin
point (as far as the friends of General Jackson
could make it so) in our Congressional and,Se
natorial election, and it has not resulted much
to t heir advantage.' Every exertion was used,
every nerve-strained to-the .-utmost on their part,
but all would not do - The friends' of the Admi
nistration remained firm and inflexible to their
purpose, alike! heedless xm unmoved by the
clamor by which they . were surrounded. Mr.
Williams is re-elected to Congress in the district
by a majority of upwards of 1300 votes- the
precise number i cannot tell, not having receiv
ed the official returns from all the counties. His
majority is greater than his most sanguine friends
calculated upon, he "having been confined at
home tii e greater part of the sumroer, in conse
quence, of" the extreme ill health of his fat her
,and thereby prevented from rebutting many of
the slanderous charges propagated against him. '
? The People's advocate, print el at Yrk
ville, in South Carol in assays, that meet
ings continue to be held in'dillerent lis
tricts in that State, for the purpose of ex
pressing their disapprobation of the pre
sen Tariff, and deprecating any increase,
of it Of the object of thee meetings, th
Advocate' seems to approve '; but, in do
ing so, adds the foUowing remarks, which
coming fronr that quarter, deserves cm
njendaiion, nt so mucli because they are
true, as because they are spoken in an
honest, spirit. ; 1
" One remark (says the YoTkville ' Advoca )
it behoves s to make relative to some of the
resolutions of these (.anti-tariff) meetings. They
are two yiolent anil menacing-. They speak too
strongly the language of passion. They evince
too much of a disposition to stand - to arms be-,
fore the argument is exhausted. We cannot
bear to hear of any other method jof car
rying or opposing anv public measure than sound
reasoning and fair argument. We do not like
to hear the division of the Union brought tor
ward on every slight occasion in which a collis
ion of interests takes place between two secti
ons of our common country. It ts to be hoped
that the next Congress.like all former Congress
es, will be irovt'tned by reason and Hrgument.
. Ifit is.shevvn bv ample statistical facts, and
the fair deduction of sound reason, that the Ta
rifT of 1824 is injurious to the interests of this
country, it is to be hoped that it will be repeal
ed without x resort to the desperate ..expedient
of an appeal to arms, -or a division of the Union.
Where,then, is the necessity of using this threa
tening and irritating languageat this early stage
of the business ?"

A letter from New Orleans, dated the 22d ult.
states that several cases of yellow fever had .ap
peared,' and that the persons had been removed
to the hospital. ;
A most appalliner occurrence has taken place
at Hamburtr in S. C. A man by the name of

inhuman manner as to cause his death, and Mr.

in Edgefie jail as one of the persons concerned

ville, (Alab.) Democrat, was shot in a re
cntre in the street, in that place, on the

Canal Kavigalion. A steam' boat has
been built in Philadelphia, admirably cal
culated for canal navigation.5 The great
object urged against navigating canals with
steam boats is, that the ripple often inju
red the .banks, and caused them to over
flaw ; but thealvveboat,in passing through
the water, leaves little or no ripple behind
her 5 and the Philadelphia papers say, that
what has been a desideratum in canal na
vigation may be considered: as supplied,
as a . boat . If jilt mi the same principle
would do no more injury, to the banks
than one drawn by horses.

; JJecitive blour to the renewal of the Jlmtrican
Trade with Jamaica., Sc. By the Customs
Amendment Bill.naw before the House, it is to
be enacted that " as by the law of navigation,
foreign ships are permitted to import into-the
British possessions "ah rod, goods, the produce
of the countries to which the ships belong, and
to export in said ships, from said British posses
sions, goods to be carried to any foreign country
whatever." This bill defines that 4 such .privi
leges be granted to ships only of such countries,
which haviij.tr colonial possessions, shall grant
the like privileges to British ships, or which not
having colonial possessions, shall lace the com
merce and navigation of this country, and of its
possessions abroad, upon the footing of the most
favored nation." And the bill goes on to state,
that unless some period be limited for the fulfil
ment by foreign countries of such conditions,
the trade of the British possessions abroad will
alvays be unsettled : it therefore enacts that no
foreign country shall be deemed entitled to such
privileges that did not reciprocate twelve months
ago, ' that is tq say, on or beforethe 5th July,
1826'. This applies to the United States, the
French, and the Dutch. -The bill .nevertheless
give's his Majesty the power by Order in Coun-,
cil, to grant such privileges to the ships of any.
foreign countrv which may not, in all respects,
have fulfilled sqch conditions ."" The bill also pro
vides that no foreign country shall be consider
ed as having complied with said conditions,
until an Order in Council is issued certi
fying the fact ; nor shall this bill extend,
or be construed as extending, to annul any Or
ders in Council heretofore issued in pursuance
of the Act 6, Geo. 4, Cap. 114, entitled An
act to regulate the trade of the British posses
sions abroad."
Important alteration of the Jlct 6, Geo, 4,
Gap. 144, regulating the trade of the Bri
tish Possessions abroad.
The following are the onl y new duties leviable
on goods imported into the British possessions in
America, viz : silk manufactures are to pay 30,
and cotton manufactures 20 per cent. We. be
lieve they are now imported as non-enumerated,
at 15 per cent, ad valorem. Salted beef and
salted pork, at present prohibited, are to be im
ported as follows i salted beef and salted- pork,
except into Newfoundland, whether of foreign
produce or not, at a duty of 12s. per cwt. It is
odd that the bill removes prohibition of the im
port of cocoa, but does not fix a duty. Spirits,
not otherwise charged with duty, to pay Is. per
gallon. :
Goods from the United States into Ca-
nada, and thence into Great Britain.
. After the 5th "of July next, masts, timber,
staves, wood hoops, shingles, lathwood, cord
wood, for fuel, ashes, raw hides, tallow, fresh
meat, fresh fish, and horses, carriages and equi
pHges of travellers, being brought by laud .or
iiuana navigauon imp tne untisii possessions in
America, shall be so brought duty free. And by
this bill the seven first named articles imported
from Canada into any British possession at home"
or America, shall be deemed produce of Canada.

next, Kingston &ndj Montreal, in Canada, shall
