point post distinctly to the choice which you
ought U make.' r - -;
How can one withstand all this disinterested
homage and kindness ? Really, the friends of all
three gentlemen are so very courteous and affec
tionate,that I sometimes almost wish that it were
in my power to accommodate each of them ; but
that being impossible; we tare beginning to think
seriously of the choice which we must finally
niake. - X will tell you, then, thai I believe the
contest, will be limited to Mr. Adams and General
Jackson,: f Mr. f Crawford's . personal . condition
' precludes the choice of nun, if there were no
other, objection to his election. As the only al
ternative which is presented to us, it is sufficient
ly j painful, and I consider whatever choice we
- may . make will be-only a choice of evils. To
- both oiT those gentlemen there are strong personal
-objections. 1e Drincipal difference between
them Is, that in the election of Mr. Adams we
shall not by the example inflict any wound upon
the character of our institutions ; but I should
ntnfth 1 fear ' hereafter, if not during' the present
generation, thkt the election of the General would
Sive to the military spirit a stimulus anq a conn
encethatmieht lead to the most pernicious results
I shall, therefore, with great regret, on account of
the dilemma in which the people have, placed
us, support Mr. Adams. My friends are gene
; rally so inclined. -
What has great weight with me is the decided
preference Which a majority oi the delegation
' fronV'Obiohas for him over General Jackson. If,
.k therefore. Kentucky were to vote for the Gene
ral, it would' probably only have the effect of di
. riding our friends without defeating ultimately
the election of Mr. Adams. Three of the four
States favorable to Mr. Crawford arc believed to
! prefer Mr. Adams to the General. . Virginia is
one of them, I am inclined to think that nearly
threes-fourths of our delegation have yielded tor
the influence of these views and will vote for Mr.
Adams. My friends entertain tike belief that
their kind wishes towards me will in the end be
more likely to be accomplished by so bestowing
their votes. I have however most arneat
ly entreated them t-i throw me out of their con-
' sideration in briuging their judgments to a final
conclusion, and to look and be guided solely by
v the public good. If I know myself, that alone
lias, determined me. Your prescntative is in
clined to concur with us in these sentiments and
views ; Bnd if they should meet your approba
tion, as I know , he has great respect for your
' opinions, I would be glad if you would by the
return mail address a letter to him to strengthen
lain in his inclination. Be pleased to show this

HB. CLAT TO FRANCIS T. BLAIR.
Wabhinqton, Jan. 2b, 1825.
Mr Dear Blair : 1 received this morning your
very agreeable favor of the 17th instant. . A let
ter from you is always refreshing, and I wish
that I could entitle myself to expect them more
frequently, by more punctuality and diligence on
my part in our correspondence. My last letter
informed you of the unction that was unceasing
ly applied to me by all the returned candidates
for the Presidency, or rather their friends. Since
then I have avowed my intention to support Mr.
Adams, under actual circumstances, and there
upon the oil has been instantly transformed into
vinegar. ' The frieuda of have turned upon
ne, and with the most amiable unanimity agree
to vituperate me. I am a deserter from. Democ
racy ; a giant at intrigue ; have sold the 'West;
seld myself -defeating General Jackson's election
to leave open "the Western pretensions that I
may hereafter fill them myself ; blasting all my
fair prospects, etc.; etc. To these are added a
: thousand other of the most gentle and kind and
agreeable epithets and things in the world.
t ' t who are themselves straining every
nerve to elect Jackson, that the claims of the
West may be satisfied and t be thereby preter
mitted, are accusing me of acting on their own
principles. The knaves cannot comprehend how
.a man can be honest. They cannot conceive that
. I should have solemnly interrogated my consci
ence and asked it to tell me seriously what I
ought to do. That it should have enjoined me
ot to establish the dangerous precedent of ele
vating, at this early stage of the republic, a mil
itary chieftain; merely because he has won a
great victory ? That it should have told me that
a public man is undeserving his station who will
not, regardless of aspersions and calumnies, risk'
himsell for his country 7 l am atraid that you
will think me moved by these abuses. Be not
deceived. I assure you that I never in my whole I humanity oracles of reform
life felt more perfect Composure, more entire con
fidentfe in the resolution of my judgment, and a
more unshak table determination to march up to
, . my duty. v And, my dear sir, is there an intelli-
gent and unbiased man who must not, sooner or
later, Oncur with me ? Mr. Adams, you know
welLI never should have selected, if at liberty-to
.. draw front the whole mass of our citizens for a
President. , But there is no danger in his eleva-
.-' tion bow, or in time to come. Not so of his com
petitor,, of whom I cannot believe that killing two
thousand five hundred Englishmen at New Or
leans qualifies for the various, difficult and com-
phcated duties of the Chief Magistracy. I per
ceive that I am unconsciously writing a sort of
defencetwhkh you may possibly think implies
guilt." What will be the' result ? You will ask
with curiosity, If not anxiety, I think Mr. Adams
must be elected-such is the prevailing opinion.
Still. I shall not consider the matter ascertain
until the election is over.
Perhaps u the history of governments Jhere
never before has been exhibited an. amount of
ignorance, folly and dupUdty equal to that shown
by the combined American and European aboli
tionists in their fforU to pverthow W federal
constitution About twenty years ago4hey or
ganized a party in this country. For many win
ters and summers when Hale was a democrat
cd Seward waa B Whig when Van Buren was
a planetary star of a great party, and not at the
tail of a drivelin? comet when Jackson was Pres
ident and the acknowledged chiel oi the aemocra-
cy wben Clay was in the vigor oi manhood, in
the 'pride jf intellect, strong as the embodiment
of a gallant, patriotic and chivalrous, host of na
tional men then it was that the abolitionists
were a shunned and a deeraded . people, lhey
were regarded as the harlots of our political sys
temabandoned putuws lost to every sense oi
patriotism, to every just conception of duty, to
every obligation of faith, to every instinct of jus
tice, and to every compunction of conscience.
Durinr the present season this party culminated
in the republican league, in the active service of
undenninine the constitution, and under the im-
tnediate leadershin of William H. Seward, the
prelate of our political dispensation.
; These twenty years of peaceful and successful
industry, which, have served .to raise , up into
something like formidable proportions this abo
lition party, looking to the dismemberment of the
Union, have been years oi marveuous progress
in soiAnnA and diannvftrv bv the American people.
As if anticipating the growth of a formidable and
daring band of traitors bent on the destruction
of the republic. Providence, it would seem, raised
up in our midst vast works or unpregnaoie de
fence and fortification.
Amonest these, and most prominent, are the
electric telegraphs, the railways, internal and ex
ternal commerce the very physical conngura
tion of the country, its long line of sea coast, itB
ereat lakes, the course and volume of its rivers,
from North to 'South all internetted by the
dis-ioveries of science and the hand of industry
Within that time the plain of the lakes has been
rescued from the savage and studded with mag
nificent cities ; the valley of the Mississippi has
been transformed into a .garden of production,
and teems with the conquests of man and the
comforts of home. California and Texia have
been added to the Union, extending our coin
uierce to the centre of the Gulf of Mexico, and
spreading it over the Pacific Ocean. All our in
land waters have been covered by our messengers
of trade; the great oceans have-been reduced to
a few days navigation ; Europe has been brought
nearer to us than was Lake Michigan : population
and wealth have everywhere increased ; prosperi
ty is everywhere apparent ; contentment is the
lot of all.
In the midst of these wonderful conquests, and
foremost in its service to man and in its effects
upon the institutions of the country, is the elec
tric telegraph. It is the nervous system of the
republic, havuig its origin in and giving action
to its intellectual system. It is the language of
politics, economising mind as much as commerce
and trade. It is the great equalizer of the value
of products, by the rapidity in wh'ch it communi
cates the knowledge of supplies and the existence
of demands. It is the representation of money,
the medium of exchange, the organ of social and
political unity. It is the detector ol crime, the
adjunct of the police, the friend of order, and in
the very nature of its business, by its extension
over all the States, by its strictly national oflice,
tlie enemy of every species of disloyalty to the
federal system. Amongst all the inventions
of modern times the electric telegraph may
be said to stand foremost as the representa
tive of the existing order of things. It derives
its position and its profits from the business of
the States. It speaks for the Union ; it is not
even formed by State links ; it has no strictly lo
cal oihee any more thau it has a local language.
The recent discoveries in this branch of science,
to which we have called public attention, are
another step from iufaucy to manhood, by which
facility and accuracy of utterance liave been
greatly increased and improved. The time is
soon coming in the progress of this great modern
invention, when newspapers will contain little
else besides the reports furnished from all parts
of the world by the electric telegraph. It will
thus by degrees extend its power, and become
the great organ of thought and communication,
if we may so speak, for the whole people. Had
there been some means of doubling by a single
decree the specie of the world, its effect upon
that article as a medium of trade would not have
been greater than has been the operations of the
telegraph upon commerce and exchange. It is
not too much to say that its increased facilities
afforded to trade are equal to those afforded be
fore its existence by all the gold and silver in the
world. As a political instrument it is destined
to be scarcely less effective. It is the advancing
power of science drawing our whole country and
the world into closer social and political intimacy.
There is an old maxim, "Absent, always wrong."
There will be no absence nobody will be from
home. It will bring men together, make them
acquainted, soften their asperities, strengthen the
comities of life, remove prejudices, enlighten the
understanding, ripen friendship and perpetuate
our political union. It will consolidate the pub
lic judgment, by laying before all unerring testi
mony concerning the motives of the several facte
We live in an age ot extremes. Men are no
longer satined with that happy medium which
is sure to promote the highest states of order and
prosperity. We are Histiuguished lor great mer
its and great faults great wisdom and great fol
ly great good and great evil. The latter ingre
dient is perhaps more perfectly represented in
American politics than in any other country ou
the globe. It is natural that it should be so a
necessary consequence of our civil polity, under
which all are orators, oracles, counsellors and
governors. This free covenant of our s-stem
has let loose upon society an army of political
3uacks, whose nostrums, of courie, will cure all
iseases. Like pretenders in the profession, and
everywhere else, they are the special friends of

melancholy, and a tone of more than womaniy
tenderness, to ascertain of the doctor, in person,
whether she could secure private quarters lor. her
husband, who was subject to intense fits of aber
ration of mind, but whoso conduct towards her,
bitter and cruel as it was, could not alienate her
love for him, which was the all pervading pas
sion of her soul. He had grown so violent of
late that' she wished to have him secured from
violence to himself as 'well as to her, (and here
the charming creature1 wept for some moments,)
and if she could make an arrangement with the
doctor, she urged that it should be kept as pri
vate as his most secret thoughts, and her husband
beyond the scrutiny pf visitors. And then she
said her heart would break, she knew it woukl,
and wept bitterly and long.
The doctor, as all who know his kind and ten
derheartedness will readily imagine, was not in
sensible to the touching recital of his visitor, and
with that frankness which always characterizes
him, he promised to comply with her wishes, to
give her husband a private apartment and his
special care; and also to shield him from the gaze
ot the cunosity-seeKers wno run aown puDiic
institutions.
The lady was not long in arranjng terms; she
was not long in expressing her thanks, intermin
gled with tears ; she was not long in settling the
details of her husband's confinement ; she was
hot long, in short, in taking her leave. And as
she stepped into her carriage, aided by the kind
hand of the doctor, she turned her beautiful face
towards him, and cast upon him a glance that
was full of teuderness and solicitude, and inspir
ed him anew with admiration and pity.
The carriage drove away, the doctor's eyes fol
lowing amid the clouds of dust which followed
in its wake, until it was entirely lost to view.
Down to the bridge, along the crowded thorough
fare, over the pebbled -vay of Chestnut-street, to
a fashionable, if not the fashionable, jewelry es
tablishment of our city, the carriage passed, its
sweet and solitary inmate glaucing out and smil
ing within, and growing radiant with a thought
that requires another paragraph to learn.
She alighted, and glided into the bazaar of gold
and silver and precious stones, with all the state
liness of a queen. One or two of the gentle
manly attendants ran to learn her wish. She
wanted to select a set of silver ware, not too
plain something neat, tasteful and beautiful.-
The various patterns were shown, and a set val
ued at 500 was selected by the lady of stately
tread. She desired the article to lxi put up, a
bill made out, and she would settle it. Her
wishes were complied with, and the lady took her
elegant port mouuaie, but alas ! there were about
40 in it. She had picked up her wrong port
monnaie, she said, with a bewitching sweetness,
and she was vexed at her stupidity. She, how
ever, could arrange it. She was the wife of Dr.
, the principal physician of the Insane Hos
pital, and she desired her attendant to accompany
her to that place, where-she would pay him at
once. Who could resist such a request frcm a
beautiful woman a request spoken as much with
the eyes as with the voice? Not the clerk, cer
tainly.
The two got into the carriage together, and
back it whirled to the Hospital. The lady jumped
from the carriage, and was, warmly greeted by
the Doctor, who was at the entrance.
'Doctor, this is my husband, said she, with an
air at once sweet and sorrowful.
rhe ixr attendant started. He wa3 struck
aghast. He could not fathom her meaning.
"What did you say ?
"Doctor, this is mv husband ; please take him
in charge."
The devil, madam. I'm not your husband.
what do you mean. "
Bursting, into tears she sobbed aloud. "He has
another spasm he has another attack. Oh!
Doctor, if you have pity in your soul, secure
hint, and save yourself and me from violence."
In vain the poor fellow attempted to explain.
He was hurried along the corridor and into a
room, and confined secure! v the woman all the
while following close behind, weeping as though
her heart would break. The Doctor and the lady
returned to the reception room, and the latter,
after giving the other an outline of the peculiar
ities of her alleged husband's attacks, together
with some directions in reference to the care
she desired to have bestowed upon him, left,
promising to return again in a lew days. Ahd
away whirled the carriage, the silver-ware and
the lady ; neither of which have been heard of
since.
The poor attendant was confined for three days
before any one about the establishment could be
iuduced to convey a letter to his employers, who,
all the time, were suspecting his honesty, and
preparing to advertise him in the newspapers.
Upon the receipt of the letter it did not take
them long to discover that they had been sold
most brilliantly ; and upon their appearance at
the hospital, it did not take the Doctor long to
discover that he had been sold decidedly ; the
poor attendant was satisfied, upon his arrival at
the hospital, that he had been sold most sorrow
fully indeed. And here, we think, we will end
the story, which has been talked over in fashion
able circles for the past three or four days with
many a hearty laugh.

hands for safe keeping. The private prosecutor
was Dr. Griffith, the prebendary of Rochester,
who had at various times employed the defen
dants to invest money for him in the Danish five
Ser cents ; it was clearly proved that the defen
anta had pledged and made away with thesc
Danish bonds of Dr. Griffith's, and kept the nio-
ney. Ine defencrwas slight ana trivial, itw
Judge charged against the prisoners, the jurji
found a verdict of guilty, and the sentence was
the utmost the law allows fourteen years trans- 4
portation.
Parallels have been drawn between the cases
of Schuyler and this Loudon firm. They were
ouly analogous in respect to the motives of the
dishonest parties in each, and the result to their
victims. Schuyler, beiug entrusted with powei
by a corporation whose agent he was, made use
f f that power to pledge the credit of the corpora
tion to individuals, and thus create resources for
his own use; the mischief he wrought only indi
rectly fell.on the individuals who took his frau
dulent securities. Paul, Strahan & Bates, ou the
other hand, were entrusted not with power, but
with the securities themselves, which they sold
and pawned, just as a servant might sell or pawn
the plate of his master. Between the two it is
hard to say which act evinced the greater moral
corruption, or deserved the more severe punish
ment. The Euglish bankers, it will be noticed,
were convicted on a statute passed as lately as
1828, (7 and 8 George IV. cap. 29) expressly
framed to meet their case. One might have
supposed that the common law would answer
every purpose for so simple a species of fraud as
theirs ; but it seems the Euglish, with a high ap
preciation of the danger and injury of allowing
swindlers to escape, had this special act passed
nearly thirty years ago, lest a case should occur
in which the common law might be found insuf
ficient. The act, or rather the section of the act,
which we publish elsewhere, will be found worth
the notice of our Senate and Assembly. Our laws
on the subject of mercantile frauds certainly need
re-trimming, and the soonerthe better. It is not
generally known that if Schuyler walked clown
Broadway to-morrow, it is quite doubtful wheth
er the District Attorney or the police could in
terfere with him. Such, however, is the opinion
of the best lawyres.
Another point to which it may be well to draw
attention, is the feeling and temper evinced by
the British people in relation to the trial. With
one voice, the entire press has commended the
verdict ; and on the occasion of some sympathy
being expressed tu a public quarter lor the con
demned, more than one journal has loudly ob
served that a sentence to fourteen years bard la
bor was less severe than the doom to which these
swindlers had, by their rascality, condemned
many innocent persons. There is something
very healthy in this indignation. In this coun
try, public spmpathy is too apt to be on the side
of the culprit, no matter what his offence, or
however clear his guilt. It it were not lor the
case of Dr. Webster and one or two rare others,
it wculd be questionable whether men of family,
wealth and station could, in the United States,
be condemned for any crime or misdemeanor
whatever. Evelf when the jury does perform its
duty, the Judges olten lail in theirs. We com
mend to the judiciary the charge and sentence of
Baron Anderson; and we think the inhabitants
of W all street cannot do themselves much harm
by giving the whole case a leisurely per,usal.

THE PHENOMENA AT DAVENPORTS.
We have on various occasions alluded to the
mysterious and inexplicable manifestations at
the above locality on Maine street, which are
being daily and nightly developed, and of a char
acter to startle the most intelligent minds in this
or any other community. That these demonstra
tions partake of more than mere human agency,
we are inclined to think any reasoning mind, af
ter fairly looking into" the matter, and bringing
allAordihary and extraordinary talent to bear up
on it, and failing to elucidate, will be obliged to
acknowledge, we cannot for a moment doubt ; but
of the character of the cause which does produce
phenomena so peculiar it is not our province to
speculate upon. '
It would appear that mind, the concentrated
mental force present at certain times, will either
in the one case help to produce certain effects, or
in other cases serve to destroy them. Also, that
the atmosphere at times is favorable or unfavora
ble, and other influences operating for or against
the aeraonstration of a new and most mysterious
principle, the germ of which is now beginning to
manifest itself. Night1 after night, and daily,
also, can be heard a voice, which speKSfc with, to
say the least, human strength, and conveying
in the
Beautiful Sentiment. Shortly before the
departure of the lamented Heber for India, he
preached a sermon which contained this beauti
ful illustration :
"Life bears us on like the stream of a mighty
river. Our boat at first glides down the narrow
channel through the playful murmuring of the
little brook and the winding of its grassy borders.
The trees shed their blossoms over our young
heads, the flowers on the brink seem to offer
themselves to our youug hands ; we are happy
in hope, and we grasp eagerly at the beauties a
round us but the stream hurries on, and still
our bauds are empty. Our course in youth and

THE TELL-TALE. FLOWEK. "
Mary, you took the little flower

Nor knew it had a mystic charm
To test thee in an hour.
I pluck'd it from two lovers' graves,
Where night and day it blows

The summer's heat and winter snows.
But place it in a false one's breast,

can be communicated
when one is alone with the sinelc medium, a bov
of some twelve-years old, whose hands are held,
at which time the air is filled with noisea and
sounds, partaking of voices, whistling, fingering
of the strings of violins, guitars, &c.
Last evening, with a number of respectable
and perfectly sensible observers, we witnessed all
of the" above demonstrations, and a few more of
even greater mystery, laghts. of a character
resembling shooting stars or the rapid passage of
ngnimng, nuea tne room for several minutes.
This phenomenon is, we are told, often observed
when human and atmospheric influence permit :
but a still more unaccountable demonstration was
given df this super-human power. There were
two mediums at the table, the eldest a lad of six
tech, we should judge. This boy was lifted, chair
and all, to the ceiling, a distance of some twelve
feet at least, and struck heavily there, indenting
the plastering, and marking the chair with the
whitewash. A request was made to the invisible
agent who controls and converses with them, to
do it again, and permit the boy to mark the ceil
ing with red chalk. After Che company satisfied
themselves that, by placing a chair on the table
and standing up in it, the boy could not reach
the ceiling within several feet, the lights are put
out, and immediately a heavy body, like dropping
a hundred weight upon the floor, was felt to have
come down ; the light wa produced, and a red
chats line on the ceiling showed where the boy
had been. ." .
Perhaps some rational explanation can be riven
of human agency in all this ; if so, we should like
to get bold of it. Y e feel that ordinary princi
pies known to roan will not admit of it : but
what is it ? There we will leave the subject.
Buffalo Republican
THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
In every part of the Union are heard the notes
of preparation for the great contest of 1856.
The recent elections and the great excitement that
attended them have hastened the organization of
parties for the Presidential campaign, and al
though no candidates have yet been selecfed by
any party, political prognosticators are counting
the States upon their fingers, and assigning to
each party its share of the republic.
The followers-of the Administration, although
badly beaten in almost every fight, are marshal
ling their forcerfor another battle, and briuging to
their aid the discipline under which they have
heretofore so signally triumphed. On the other
hand, the American party an infant in years,
but a giant in strength, under the auspices of no
great name, under the leadership of no experien
ced captain is, day by day, exhibiting and train
ing a power which, if progressive, as we have
every confidence that it will be, must result in
placing the government of the country under its
control.
Wherever it has made trial of its strength,'it
has proved itself to be an adversary of no mean
importance.
Tb principles which it proclaims have given
it a hold upon the affection and confidence of the
people, which it will not be easy to disturb.
Eminently national and conservative in all its
views, sustaining the Constitution in the spirit in
which its framers concieved it, it appeals direct
ly to every man who would preserve the Union
from the fierce agitations that have threatened
for years to destroy it, and restore it to lit ancient
health and vigor.
W herever the importance of the Union is most
strongly felt wherever exists the deepest inter
est in it, there has the American party been most
triumphant.
.New York the great Empire State depend
ent in great measure for her prosperity as she is
upon the trade of the W est and South, has iden
tified herself with the American party, and there
by has voted to preserve her great commercial
advantages.
Maryland although a sufferer to a larger ex
tent than any other State, in her loss of proper
ty from the faithlessness of the Abolitionists of
the North has always proved her loyalty to the
Union knowing as she does, that in the event
of a violent rupture, she would be the Flanders
of Amenca, to be drenched in fraternal blood
She has been found in this contest on the side
of the Union, estimating that the prosperity of
that Union can be best advanced by securing
the success of the American party. And so we
find that in those portions of the country where
the necessity of maintaining the integrity , of our
people is most strongly felt, the prospect of the
organisation is brightest, jho stronger argument
to prove the nationality of the party could possi
bly be given than this. The eye of every sin
cere patnot is turned to it, and dilates with the
hope that as it is a spontaneous movement of
the masses a movement uncontrolled and un
directed by the political wire-pullers and charla
tans who brought suspicion upon the motives of
the old parties so it will correct and reform the"
abuses of the former parties, and bnug North,
South, East and West, into one glorious and har
monious brotherhood. .
