It came to him in such a shape as gave, him reason to ap prehend that the removal might be made jeforehe could reach Washington. He determined, therefore, to set out immedi ately fpr the capital, to prevent it if pos sible. ! He knew that Mr McLane was, like himself, opposed to it, and that it could not beldone whilst he was at the head of the Treasury Department unless lie had changed his views Immediately on his arriva at Washington he sought an inter View Atith Mr. McLane, and his anxieties were relieved by the assurance that no removal would be made while he remain 4d Secretary of the Treasury. From Mr. Verplapck he received the same informa tion. General Jackson was rampant for the removal. Kendall was pushing him On, and did not despair, before the arrival 0f Mr. Van Buren, of accomplishing the ect.l At this moment, too, Mr. Ver- lanck! as Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, made a "report favora ble to the Bank. Suchan array of ob Staclesmade the Hero pause, while Ken dall's ire was excited, especially against Mr. Van Buren,' whose opinion President Jackson heeded more than any one else, f Congress adjourned, the inauguration took plSace, and the deposites remained unmoved, but Jackson was still determin ed on accomplishing it sooner or later. He saia Van Buren was mistaken in his bpinionj on the sulyect, and that he would jlet discover his mistake. A journey to the North and East was then projected for the President and decided on. It origina- with Mrr Van Buren in the dvertirg the General's mind from his blnkphpbia and his desire to remove the deposit s. It was arranged that the tour should commence the latter part of May, atfd Mr Van Buren left Washington for Albany, agreeing to join the President in Nw York. " j- jWhil j Mr. Van Buren remained in Washington he urged upon the members ofjjthe Cabinet who wee opposed to the remova , and particularly on Mr. McLane, tojcontijiue his efforts to defeatif possible th proposed measure The anxiety of M Vaji Buren was increased when he sav the General was about to make a nQW cast ot his Cabinet, and was inform ed by Kendall that it Was to be done, with a View Jo the accomplishment of his dar lirtgproiect.

At Boston they became ir resistible. The President was ill there a day and confined to his! room. It was on that occasion that Mr. Van Buren first an nounced to him his change of views; con fessed that he had been in error; that Kendall was right and honest about it; that Mr. McLane and Mr. Livingston were wrong ; that he, the President, was unerring in tne matter, ana nis toresignt prophetic. The next day the General left Boston for Concord. Who has forgotten the homage he received,' and the " rhiie of girls" who came to do him honor On his tourt The papers in New York j were teeming with' accounts of his journey. wnen every body was astonished with a postscript savins that Gen. Jackson had . . - suddenly cut short his tour, returned from the East, and passed through New York at daylight ibr' Washington. In twenty boars morft he was m the capital, and his Cabinet and every body else could not have been more astonished if a mine had been sprung under the city. The reason assigned for this sudden movement was the President's ill health. It was not the true reason. It was not even a specious reason. He was not ill a moment after he left Boston, nor after he returned to Washington. The true secret of his sudden return was Mr. Van Buren's change of views on the removal of the de posites. f rom tne moment tnat cnange I ; 1 ! ' L.

All who endeavored to dissuade him therefrom, and Mr. Van Buren among theest He yield ed for a moment, and proceeded to Con cord. He would go no further. He said the deposites should be removed from the bank before one week, j He was impera tive and inexorable. Remonstrances were unavailing. In one day he was in New York. In one more he vyas in Washing ton ; rather rapid travelling for an inva lid The sight of a band of Indians with their tomahawks never excited him so much as did the immediate prospect then of putting his foot on the neck of the " Monster" as he called: the bank. He was full of fire and energy. Mr. Van Bu ren accompanied him. He could not let him leave him, though Mr. Van Buren would gladly have done sp ; for he dread ed to encounter Mrv McLane, whom he had so urgently pressed into the front rank of opposition. No ; man was more sincere and honest in his views than Mr. McLane. He had, it was Said at the time, and I believe it, prepared at the sugges tion of Mr. Van Buren, a strong and able paper, remonstrating against the removal, and setting forth the evils! which he thot he foresaw therefrom. I ' What occurred immediately after jGen. Jackson's return to Washington I reserve for another letter. il -A CALM OBSERVER. THE TRAITOR'S DOOM. Poor John Tyler I When be had finished his course of infamy at Washington, and retir ed to his secluded home on the St. James, we had supposed that the public prints would aroid as far as possible, the mention of his name. He had gone into power withjperhaps more of the popular confidence than any President since the days of Washington hisj very name had been considered a synonym for honesty, and no one dreamed that with the dying injunctions of the lamented Harrison impressed upon bis mino, ne couta in a tew soon rnonios ne so car ried away by ambition and the flatteries of the corrupt and base, as to betra y and ruin the very party which had lifted him to power. Yet such is the story which the pen of the impartial his torian will have to record.

C, OCTOBER 25, 1845. ! JACOB COTTON'S CONFESSION. Recorded at Mocksville, on Wednesday, 22d instant. j Jacob Cotton, convicted at the last Term of Davie Superior Court of the murder of Mrs. Mary West and her grandson Henry Swink, was executed at Mocksville on i yesterday. It will be remembered that in our account of Cotton's trial, we stated he had made a confession of his guill after the sentence of death had been passed up on him ; and that in that confession he implicated in this horrid tragedy, three other persons, two of whom, David Val entine and Peyton Hasker, had been ar rested and lodged in jail to await their trial. The other person implicated was Moses Parnell: He was taken very sud denly and violent ill on the morning of that awful deed, and on the succeeding day was summoned to the judgment bar of God, to answer for the deeds done in i thj. body. Jacob Cotton confesses that he was at Mfrs. West's on the night she was murder ed; : that he saw her and her grandson both killed, but that he did not do it : That be sav the house plundered, and that he re ceived a portion of the money abstracted therefrom. jHe states that six or nine months pre vious to the perpetration of this crime, David Valentine, mentioned the subject to him; and proposed that they should rob Mrs. West : That Valentine said he knew where the old woman kept her kefst and that it could be very easily done, if rightly managed. That Valentine pro posed it to him more than once ; and that finally, a plot was made about three weeks before hand, in which the four persons abpve named were to bear a part. They appointed for the night, the 18th of March : thcyr were all to meet at an old deserted residence in the neighborhood, known as Jp. Svvink's place," about three-quarters of a mile from Mrs. West's: Jacob Cotton states that when he reached the place de sighatcd, on that night, he found Davi Vajlehtine already there, and that Peyton Hasket came up very shortly afterwards, and that Moses Parnell was the last one getting there : That shortly after Parnell came they all started for Mrs. West's, and K3iWvA r Cfam o 4d ImF minilfae nnliv 4 . 1 ' take a drink of liquor; r a rS ! . along ; and then went on. That when thejy reached the house, David Valentine pushed one door open, one of the doors on the south-west side that the door yielded to n very slight effort : that he thinks there was no latch or any thing else about the door broken by the push, and that it made but little noise. That David Valentine then went into the house followed by Pey ton Hasket : That himself and Moses Par nell! stood at the doors to watch : that Parnell stood at the door opening into the North-west wing of the house : that that j door was closed ; and that he stood at the open door : That Valentine went to the fire-place and lighted a piece of pine, and commenced searching about for the keys: he looked in an old clock case that stood agafnst the petition, where he had previ ously stated that the old lady kept them ; and not finding them there, searched the cupboard, and other places, but did not find them. Whilst searching about he found a small axe : with this he forced open one chest, from which he took out a quantity of silver money. This chest was in the same room where the aged woman was sleeping, and within a few feet of the foot bf her bed. Hasket held the light, and Valentine worked. Having got all the mony from this chest, they went into the adjoining room: they had to pass near by tlie foot of Mrs. West's bed, which sat against the petition dividing the two rooms ; and oh the right side of the . door as they, went in, was another chest back- ,with C the" one already,;- rifled the petition separating them. Valentine commenced working to get it open, and finding it a little difficult, remarked that it was M damned hard to open ; and as it yielded, observed it makes a hell of a - . j . , . ....... , noise," or something to that effect. t Cotton states that Mrs. West now woke up : . that she had hitherto been uncon scious as to what was going on. f On . be ing asked if, it was not probable she was awake before, he answered, M I think not, for she spoke as one who had just awoke out of sleep." She asked " who is there T (rising up in her bed) is that you Dave Valentine ?" Valentine made no, answer, but immediately went towards her with a large percimmon stick, which he car ried in with him, and struck her several heavy blows on the head : The oldjady exclaimed ob! Lord Tj and falling back wards, soon expired. The little boy, Hen ry S wink, when be saw his grand-mother was killed, raised up in the bed ; and at one blow with the same club Valentine killed him. j One would suppose that a man guilty of such a horrid deed would immediately have set about making his escape: He would at least have gone out of the pre sence of those mangled and bleeding bo dies, and where no walls, however frail, could have hindered his anxious and ex cited vision. But such was not the case with Valentine, he coolly proceeds, ac cording to Cotton's statement, to plunder the house- returned to the chestat which he was last at, work, and completed his search. . Cotton says he heard Mrs. West breathe out her last feeble gasp, and ter rified at the awful deed, walked off a lit tle piece from the house, and sat down in a hoarse-trough ; that he tried to hurry Valentine and Hasket to come but of the house, but thatlhey remained there al most an hour after the murders had been committed : that before they came out, they approached the bed on whiclTthe two corpses lay, and examined them to sec if they were dead : that himself and Hasket were very much opposed to the murder were very much" displeased with Valen tine for doing it ; and he (Cotton) told him if he had known he was going to do that" he would not have come with him. That they had no idea of committing mur der, but only intended to rob : that Valen tine said he was obliged to do it to save himself: that Mrs. West had recognised him, and he knew he would have to suffer unless he killed her: that Valen tine and all of them were very sorry it so turned out. After they left the house, they went off some two hundred yards into the field to wards Henry Swink's old place, and there counted the money which amounted to $240. Cotton received as his share, a buckskin purse containing forty dollars. The other members of the pari', Valentine in particular, were not willing to allow him any more, as he would not go into the house, or as he .did nothing." Soon af ter receiving his share, having a long ways to go, he started for home : he wanted to get across the river before day : states that he crossed at Locke's bridge both going and coming, and that he travelled along the bank of the river on either side as he came and returned: that having crossed the bridge on his return, he laid down in the woods and slept a short time : that he re mained there, until he went to Furgerson's, where, it is remembered, he betrayed him self, by exhibiting his money. Jacob states that he does not know who set fire to the house : that when he left, it had not been fired."" He says that he nev er returned to the house after getting his I cnma rf tku m i tr . Vttif tViof Vulanti'no I oillill' -I 1111 lllisjjjr uui Ui.b lll IHIUC. Hasket and Parnell talke Iked of going back, and when he left, they started joff in that direction. He does not know how the re maining two hundred dollars were divi ded ; but although Parnell "did nothing" but stand at the door and watch, it was understood, that he was to have a part of it. 1 He never saw any one of the compa ny afterwards until he was arrested, and knows nothing more in connection with the transaction than has been here given. The prisoner seemed remarkably cool no excitement about him whatever. It appeared quite singular, since it was evi dent he was not flattering himself with any hope of escape; but seemed to look forward to his approaching end as calmly as if it were some ordinary occurrence in which he felt no very particular interest. He is, nevertheless, very penitent, and frequently upbraids himself for having been concerned in the crime for which he dies ; and says that if it had not been for his love of whiskey, he would never have come to such an end . . A Locofoco Correspondent of the Journal of Commerce offers some very cool advice totbe Whigs. He says that they hare the capital. the talent, and enterprise of the country; that they control the public taste in morals, and in literature, and in science ; that they preside over the institutions of education and benevo-" lence ; and all this, he thinks, should content them without dabbling in politics. The gov. ernment of the country and. the' administration of the laws, he; thinks, should be taken from those men who, according to! his - own account, are the best qualified . fbr public 'employment, and should 'bo abandoned brrreneral nnnt to those who aro least fit for U Frw Jwrnal. rGiORGI A ELECTION ' Returns from all tb t t "" . v"u"uesiQ it-1 State have been tpopvA k . i Montgomery and RabanhicVrenJ, election of the present Whig George W.

FREMONT'S THIRD EXPEDI- TION. ; The St. Louis Republican of the 4th in stant, says that Jacob Crum and several other men who accompanied Capt. J, C. Fremont, on his third tour of exploration, returned to that city on the 3d instant Crum was one of the hunters for theparv. ty, and complains very much of the tyran ny of Capt. Fremont over the men. ( He also disagreed with the Captain about bis pay; and left the company somewhere in the territory belonging to the Cheyenne Indians. Three days after Crum parted with the party, eighteen others left; some; being sick, were discharged, and otnen being dissatisfied, refused to go any far ther. Those who returned make -load complaints against Capt. FremonLfor bis rigid discipline, and say that many others' of his men were discontented ; but 'the' statements of these men must be taken with many grains of Allowance, as they certainly would do all they possibly cpuld to justify the course they ha vepureced. From the material, says the Republkm, of which the party was composed, a rigid discipline, was "no doubt absolutely neces sary to bring them into subjection, with out which the laudable designs of the et pedition could not be accomplished. It is important to gain a correct knowledge of the country through which they are to pass that all should be in perfect subordination,; and nothing but the most rigid discipline would be of any avail. , M v - We do know when we have had a rarer or richer treat than the reports of the first; and second expeditions of Capt.
