TV- LIBERTY, THE CONSTITUTION UNION'. rilE SENTINEL; NEWBERN : FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 1832. The Monongahela, at Philadelphia, brings London papers to the 7th of August, inclusive. The London Times of that date says that re ports'had arrived of the total failure of Don ptdro's expedition. The people of England arc unwilling to give credit to the rumour, but from the lone of all the papers we are inclined to believe that it is but too well founded." It is tliscouraging to learn that the troops of the yueen that landed at Oporto on the 8th, were still on the north of the Douro on the 30th. Had a spirit of patriotism prevailed among -ihe-Fortogtrcse, the. Standard of Pedro would have have been their rallying point : hut they are inured to slavery, and their spirit is bro ken. The fond anticipation of the patriots who jlanncd the expedition, -that the yoke had become irksome to thesubjects of Miguel, and that they would flock to the aid of their deliv 4rer are likely to end in deep and disaster ua rlisannointment. The reason given for U I' J ihc delay at Oporto, is the want of cavalry. This, as the editor of the Times justly remarks, should have been foreseen and provided for. The apathy of the people of that country leaves the.friends of liberty no hope ; and no thing but the energy of Pedro's army, with whom it is literally death or victory, will save lliciu from the degradation and misery which they almost deserve for their lukewarmnesa in their own cause Biela's Comet is now visible, but its appearance is so unlike that of jEncke's or Halley's, that it wil scarcely be considered by a majority of observers, as belonging to the class. Its right ascension is now nlx-iut 91 degrees, its declination 35, and its distance from the earth about 62 millions of miles. On the .23rd of October it will make its nearest approach to the earth, at which time it will be 51 millions of miles tlistaut. , We invite tlie special attention of the Clayites to the articles on our first page.' : The first is republish ed for the purpose of showing them the proneness of their party to make fallacious calculations, whereby they do violence to common sense, and imjKhse shame fully upon their confiding and too credulous friends ; and the second, embracing a variety of extracts from n speech delivered by Mr. Clay in 1811, against the renewal of the charter of the United States Bank, is introduced in order to exhibit the doctrine which that gentleman maintained when acting with the party to which General Jackson now belongs. He then avowed the sentimenjpf the Veto Message, and, like an honest repuban, contended for the principled of the constitution. Had he preserved his integrity, and been less the slave of a reckless ambi tion, he would now be strong in the affections of the eople, and instead of depending on the false promi- sesol a jjowerless faction, the reward of merit would be extended for his acceptance.. It is amusing to read the predictions of the Clay Editors?, on the subject of the Presidential elec tion. With no better authority than is found in the presses belonging to the Bank, they make up statements similar to those which they ' issued in 1828, and assure their readers that they may be im plicitly relied on. If they can enjoy comfort in this way, let them' go on as they did aforetime shouting victory in the midst of defeat. : Vie regret that our limits do not allow us to copy the proceedings of the Jackson and VanBuren meet ings which have been held in several of the Western counties, within the last few weeks. The people in that reigion are moving in solid body for Van Buren, whose success in this State, is now beyond all doubt. The Opposition place great reliance on. the efforts now making by the U. S. Telegraph in favor of their cause. Having on a former occasion done much to defeat, Mr. Clay, they seem to think that General Green will be equally successful in his warfare asrainst President Jackson. But they are mistaken. l'he Telegraph has changed sides and abandoned .the principles which brought it into notice. In 1828, it enjoyed ihe confidence of republicans ; it is now a favorite of the Bank party and a co-worker with the federalists.

ANOTHER fePLENDID VICTORY. Jackson in Maine. We copy the follow ing from the"Wiscasset Intelligencer.-Thepros- pects of the Clay party are truly flattering. The recent elections in Kentucky, Indiana Missou ri and Maine, not forgetting Anti-masonic Ver mont, doubtful Rhode Island, and uncertain Louisiana, must, politically speaking, reduce United States Bank stock below zero, , "We turn with pleasure to the political prospecis through the State. Considering the exertions of the opposition, with their State, uounty, rown ana scnooi uistrici iohiuih- tees therr base and infernal lies their U. o. Bank money which has been brought to bear on the election, we can claim our triumph as a great one. It is a triumph of THE PEOPLE IT IS A TRIUMPH OF PRINCIPLE OVERCOR- RUPTION! And in November the very hills of Maine will resound with praises to Jackson for his United States Bank Veto for putting down that Usurping Institution, whose funds are employed to bribe, yes, bribe the voters of our country. From returns received,. we believe the ma jority tor Governor will be over rOUK THOUSAND! We have elected a decided majority in the Senate, arrd are sure of a most triumphant majority in the House. iTjr I his is the State that has has been put down as DOUBTFUL ! ! When Andrew Jackson's name comes directly before the People of Maine, we will shew his opponents a rEW at least of our doubtful votes. fc We will shew them TEN THOUSAND majority for " the man who has filled the measure of his country's glory." Spirit of the Times! The call for a re publican delegate meeting in the town of Dans- ville, was signed by about 300 individuals, many of them former opponents of Gen. Jack son. That town has always been antimasonic to the back-bone. Albany Argus. From the Rochester Republican. 1 Ruin Spreading. If our opponents really consider the Veto Message injurious to the President, they must rejoice at the zeal with which the ruinous document is spread abroad by his friends! Our partialities for the Old Soldier have not prevented us from issuing a large edition, besides the ordinary newspaper circulation; and -we perceive the democratic editors in several neighboring counties have pursued a similar course. Forinstance: The Farmer's Advocate of Bath, Steuben co. has issued 3,000 extra copies, and published the whole Veto Message twice in its columns: The Wayne Sentinel issued some thousand copies in addition to the circulation through its columns: The Orleans Republicanhas published two newspaper editions,' and 1,000 extras; Besides a wide circulation through the Jack son prints of old Ontario, an edition of 3,000 extras has been issued by thaVienda Republi can. While in Livingston, the Jacksonians have caused to be struck olf 5,000 extra copies at the Courier office. These facts are the most convincing "Signs of the Times." The "Southern Banner" (at Athens) unhesita tingly affirms, that Wm.H. Crawford is oppos ed to Nullification that he signed the pro ceedings of the Athens Meeting, only because he was Chairman and that when he was called to theChair, "it was little expected by any one that, before its close, the meeting would assume the character it did." Why has no historian of that Meeting appeared to show us plainly how it wa.4 got up anyhow it was turned from its original object? Richmond Enq. Senator Benton. It is well known that Clay and Webster have been indefatigable in their exertions. to turn the tide of popular opinion in Missouri against this talented and independent Senator. His colleague, Buckner, it was said, had joined the coalition, and at the adjournment of Congress, it was considered by the junto as a settled question, that Benton, whose senatorial term expires next 4th March, would not be re-elected. How fallacious have all the plans of Clay & Co. so happily arranged in theory, proved when brought into practice. In no solitary instance have they succeeded. Missouri will send again to the United States Senate that man who of all others will be least acceptable to the oppositionists. Consoling.- A correspondent of the Na tional Intelligencer is trying to explain away the recent defeat of his friends in Kentucky, and winds up with the following consoling re marks : "I think there is much reason to hope that the late event will lead to more certain success in November than if we had carried the election of the governor by such a majority as the other side has obtained." A simple African said he always, liked to bark his shins, because they felt so good after they had done aching. Napoleon was remarkable for comforting the wounded foe after a victory. As the coali tion have undertaken to say that the President 4 told Count Survelliere that he took his cele brated brother for his model,' we have en deavored, on his behalf to pick up some crumbs oi comtort to console the afflicted who have been wounded at the battle of the kVetoV We have succeeded, as we think, in obtaining a rare crumb; it is from the Hesperides of ivoDen narrick rare fruit of two hundred years years old : but. as Foote said of his Lord ship's wine, very small of its age;' ' Som comfort in calamity.9 To conquered men some comfort 'tis to fall By tne hand of him who is the GeneraU P 1 he Richmond (Clay) Whig.says: We do not indeed I Fray what do r "rLy ,1 you-yoa will carry cmu emporium.

Jbi THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES. We take pleasure in statin, that Mr. Wil liam Albright, editor of the " Americanischc btaatsbothe," a German paper published in this city, heretofore a supporter of Clay, has an nounced his intention to enter the ranks of Jackson, WiUcins and Wolf. It is his design to publish a new paper, to take place of .the old one, under the title of ' the Independent Republican. It will be published in English and German ; in the first number of which he will give his reasons, at length, for the change. uancasier fenn. item. ANOTHER CHANGE. When we noticed last week, the establishment of the Democratic Volunteer, by Mr. Asa G. JJimock, of Susque hanna County, we were not aware, that it had taken the place of the Independent Volunteer, a Clay paper, which had been published for some time, in that county.

A SIGN FROM GENESSEE NEW .YORK. From the Attica Republican. To the Public. As false rumors are in cir culation respecting the causes which have in duced me to withdraw my support from Henry Clay and to yield my support to Andrew Jack son, an explanation from me to the public at this time seems due. It has been charged upon me that I sacrificed my political feelings for office. This is false and ungenerous. With me office is no considera tion. I am a farmer, and by following my occu pation, I expect to gain a livelihoojl. No, sin ister motives actuated me, I becam a Jackson man from, thorough conviction ; from a convic tion that the man was honest, was capable, and that he advocated a policy of government which was for the benefit of the whole, not apart. That he is opposed to all Aristocracies, and the creation of Monopolies that he seeks the equal advancement of our Commercial, iManufactu- ring and Agricultural interests. His message vetoing the United States Bank Bill, is docu ment that will convince every man of his deter mination to preserve unimpaired the conslitu tion of the United States, who is not blinded by party zeal, or noosea about Dy aspiring poiiti cians. When I became oenvinced, I openly avowed it. For this I am denounced. It would be much more to their credit, were some of mv former political friends to "go and do likewise. And hereafter, when any of my political oppo nents shall speak of me, I wish them to "speak of me as I am," a Jackson man ; one who be came so from an honest conviction, and one who will yield the hero, the patriot and the statesman his firm and unyielding support. Attica Sept. 5, 1832. ORIN FISK. " The Washfngton Globe and the Jackson papers generally, make war upon the South Carolina heresy of Nullification, which has, however, the President's sanction." The foregoing is from the National Gazette of yesterday. When the editor penned it, he must have known that he was writing a wanton, wicked falsehoods,. An accommodation of 86,000 may be much to a needy man ; and one who lives by writing on any subject proposed by the employer, may acquire a code of ethics to suit his necessities, but nothing can justify or excuse such gratuitous untruths as the above even from a hack writer, superfluous and su pererogatory as Mr. Walsh. Pennsylvanian. The National Intelligencer has a column of " short paragraphs for those who have not J time to readmuch." Among those "elegant! extracts" we find the following sentence : "The Jackson party seems to be annihila ted in Pittsburg and Philadelphia." We commend the sagacity of the Intelligen- cer in reserving such information for " those who do not read much." Pennslyvanian. From the Irish Republican Shield. IRISH PATRIOTS IN NEW YORK. Our countrymen in New York, are to a man the friends of General Jackson. Dr. Macneven, whose fame as a leading pat riot of J798, is enshrined in Irish history ; and whose literary talents,, distinguished profes sional eminence, and exemplary conduct as an American citizen, are admired and appreciated in two hemispheres, communicated the follow ing sentiments in an apologetical letter, declin ing an invitation to a dinner given lately by tne omcers ot me Jackson ixuaras, in uie vi cinity of New York. After assigning the caus es that prevented the acceptance of the invita tion, he says, " Among no people, and I haved lived with many, did 1 ever, see more now oi soul, man ai the entertainments of our countrymen ; and I feel as if I could yet enjoy them. Butaccept of my toas for mvself, and better still, for my purpose. It refers to our chief magistrate, who defended liberty in the revolution ; prop erty at New Orleans ; and the Union in his emphatic declaration 4 It must be preserved. Jackson and liberty ?

When the apostates' from national feeling in this city, read those sentiments, so worthy of me uoerai ana patriotic ininu irum wmm uicj emanated, thpir fares must become suffused with the hectic blush of shame.

We are favored with the following extract of a letter frdm a very respectable irent1mn resident in Chili, to his friend id this city, an nouncing the conclusion of a Commercial Trea ty with that government by Dr. Hamm, our Charge d' Affaires at Valparaiso. We learn that Capt. Hicks, of the ship Edward, arrived at Providence, is the bearer of an official copy of the Treaty, and is now on his way to Wash ington. N. York Mer. Adv. " VALPARAISO, June 3, 1822. Among the events which have lately trans pired here, is the interesting news of the con clusion of a treaty 6f commerce and naviga tion lately made by the Plenipotentiary of this government, and our Charge d' Affaires at San tiago. This is a most ffratifviner circumstance, and really important for the growing interest oi our merchants residing here, as well as for all the citizens of our country in this republic. In fact, we have long suffered in many ways am oi a general agreement or con vention between the two nations, and I now coiigraiuiaie you upon the event. To have accomplished this desirable object, a better cnuice couiu not nave been made than that of 1 r. Hamm. I have lived here many years, and believe I am pretty well acquainted with the peopic generally, and I must say that this gen tleman seems io nave wen understood and ap preciated the Chilian character shortly after his arrival, and mixing among them, for with out thisknowlcdge, be could not haVe succee ded in the manner he Iras done, and that too in little more than one year' For close applica tion to business, correct principles, politeness to all, with unassuming manners, and patient perseverance, he cannot, m mv. opinion, De exceeded ; I and with all is one of the most can did and sincere men I am acquainted with. In fact, my dear friend, I consider Dr. Hamm qualified by his ability, education, . industry, true republican principles, and acquaintance with mankind, to continue Ato be a faithful and excellent officer, let him be where ever our government may see proper to place him, whether it be at home or abroad." From a Tallahassee paper of the 4th ult. we learn the following facts': Sentence of death having been passed by the Superior Court of Florida upon a man by the name' of Rogers, he was respited by the Secretary,- Mr. Westcot, until Governor Duval should arrive, from whom strong hopes of executive mercy were enter tained by the criminal and his friends. Accor dingly, on his arrival a formal, application for pardon was made ; but at the time and place appointed for the hearing, the counsel for the criminal found nothing but the Governor's written refusal to interfere in the matter. Up- v " on tins he was aoDlied to. with the annrobation of Judge Randall, who presided at the trial of Rogers, for another respite till the meeting of the Court of Errors ; but rather than meet the responsibility even of granting this applica tion, he resigned his office as Governor of Florida. His letter of resignation to the President, with his commission enclosed, together with a note to the Secretary, requesting him to put the letter of resignation into the post office and assume the executive duties, were handed to . i ' I I Mr. Westcott, who thereupon1 secreted himself to avoid the application for the respite ; but being ferretted out and compelled to hear it, he declared he had no power to act in the case, and if he thought he had, he would resign too. During the progress of this farce Rogers was executed ; upon which the Secretary took upon himself to retain the resignation and commis- sion of (jrov. Duval, who, it is understood, has taken them back and resumed the duties of his office. HUMAN STRENGTH. " One of the most remarkable and inexplica ble experiments relative to the strength of the human frame, which you have yourself seen and admired, is that in which a heavy man is raised with the greatest facility, when he is lfted up the instant that his own lungs and those of the persons who raise him are inflated with air. Ihis experiment was. 1 believe, first shown in England a few years ago by Major H., who saw it performed in a large party at Venice, under the direction of an officer in the American navy. As Maior H. performed it more than once in my presence, I shall des cribe, as nearly as possible, the method which he prescribed. The heaviest person in the party lies down upon two chairs, his legs be ing supported by the one and his back by the other, r our persons, one at each leg, and one at each shoulder, then try to raise him and they find his dead weight to be very great, from the difficulty they find in supporting him. When he is placed in the chair, each of the four persons takes hold of the body as before, and the person to be lifted gives two signals by clapping his hands. At the first signal he himself and the fotrf lifters begin to draw a long and full breath ; and when the inhalation is completed, or the lungs filled, the second signal is given for raising the person from the chair. To his own surprise and that of his bearers, he rises with the greatest facility, as n ne were no Heavier man a leather. On se veral occasions I have observed, that whn one of the bearers performs his part ill, by making the inhalation out of time, the part of ue uuuy which ne tries to raise, is left as it were, oenmu. As you have reneatpfllv spph this experiment, and have performed the part 1 U C 4.1 l.l 1.A uum ui me joaa and ot the bearer, you can lC8liy "uw remarkable the effects appear to all parties, and how complete is the conviction, either that the load has been lightened, or the bearer strengthened by the prescribed process At Venice the experiment was performed in a much more imposing manner. The heaviest man in the parly was raised and sustained upon the points of the fore-fingers of six persons. Major H. declared that the experiment would not succeed if the person lifted were placed that the bearers should communicate directly with the body to be raised. I have not had an op portunity of making any experiments relative to these curious feats ; but whether the general effect is an illoson, or the result of known or of new principles, the subject merits a careful investigation. oir u. nrewsier.
