Auong the remarks which ten irom
Barbour on his taking the CJiair, I could not
but be struck with the vanity of the following :
"To mc the honor of being called to preside
over your deliberation?, is most gratifying and
the more so, when I sec assembled on this occa
eion, so many of the distinguised individuals with
whom I was associated in the. better days of the
Republic." Alas and weU-a-day the Repub
lic i3 ruined-our institutions destroyed, and
ttir country disorraccd, because an injured and
much abused people hurjed from powf.r John
QcincV Adams, and rJas. Barbour men who
had surreptitiously acquired power, and who,
vhen in possession of it, converted it to their
private purposes and the-furtherance of their
nrbbitious views. f
Mr. Barbour also took occasion to say that
;(hc fearful forebodings that were cntertaine3-
toy the sages of the revolution, least the Execu
tive branch of the Govenmnt should encroach
3pon, and destroy the other branches, were
filrcadv realized in the administration of the

lut that he relied upon the honesty and intelli
jrence of the people, and he conscientiously bc-
.Ve bed "that if the members of the present Con-
" vention would but act in concert, they would
eject the present Executive from office at the
end of his first term." Now I venture to say
that more deliberate unthiths, were never ut
tercd bv the lips of man. Mr. Barbour docs

New Bedford Gazette.
Extract of a letter dated
Baltimore, "Wednesday Evening,
10 o'clock. December 14, 1831.
The jrreat National Republican Party of the world
as they are called in N. Y. this day nominated
Joun Sergeant of Pennsylvania, to be their candi
date, because there is not a solitary member of the
Convention, who has the most distant idea of the
practicability of electing their candidates. I know
that not one of their number and many of them are
fond of sporting would make a bet of one to five hun
dred dollars on Mr. Clay's receiving 75"elec!oral
vptcs. A more ridiculous farce never was attempted
to be played than this shew of fight on the part of the
advocates of Mr. Clay's pretentions to the presidency.
They may gravely tell the People that there is no
doubt of his success. But this they do collectively,
while eaeh one will privately apsure you that they
scarcely expect to receive fifty electoral votes. They
individually say and no doubt truly, that they have
no hope of succeeding : but it is all-im porta rit for their
future success, that they should make a show of oppo
sition, and thereby keep together the discordant ma
terials of which they are composed.
Although Messrs Clay and Sergeant are almost
unanimously nominated, it must not be forgotten that
this was the result oi a caucus, which was in session
4 hours on Sunday evening, 3 3-4 hours on Monday
everiincr, and nearly three hours last nicrht. 'The

attention of hunters in that neighborhood for
about five years past, on account of his extra

but has hitherto escaped shot free. He waa

fire from two of the hunters, but Mr. J. Shields
