Tlie cn miles of Gen.

There is hut one way to avert this calami ty: The people must take the election into their own h;tnd and decide it for themselves. The aristocrats aflirm, thai the great body of the people are loo ignrt rant to decide matters of politics for themselves and have 'ktndhj volunteered to enlighten them, by the formation of vvhal they call ivhig associations, to diseminate correct information, &e. Hut these Zanders on the enlightened freemen of the Site, must produce an effect the reverse of what was intended; they will be aroused to attend to their own politics. In order lo produce union nnd harmony in the democratic party, ve would recommend that the Republicans should hold meetings in all the counties of the State, as soon as convenient, for the ap pointment of Delegates, one from each electoral district, to attend the Convention at Baltimore, which is proposed to be held the 20 May nexL.Raleigh Standard. Kooert rotter. We perceive that Mrs. Isabella A. Potter, the Wife of Robert Potter, has obtain ed a decree at the County Court of Granville, held last week, to alter her own and the names of her two children, Susan Emily Potter and Uobert Taylor Pot ter, and authorize them to lake the names of Isabella Atkinson pelham, Susan Emily Pelham, and Robert Taylor Pelham. The flame of Pelham was selected, in consequence of its being the maid en name of Mrs. Potter's mother. The petitioner sets forth her griev ances in strong terms: "Outraged (she remarks,) be yond the power of forbearance, at the last General Assembly she procured an net to be passed dis solving the bonds of matrimony between her and the said Robert Potter and she is again, thanks to that enlightened body, once more a free woman. Hut she is not willing longer to bear the name of Potter nor is she will ing that her children should enter life burthened with its reproach for your petitioner further show?, that at the last ession of the Gen eral Assembly, the said Robert Potter was expelled from the Houe of Commons, of which he was a member, and he is now, as far as she can learn, a wanderer and vagabond, with whom none hut the most debased can associ ate. Branded as he is by the judgment of his fellow-citizen, his name is to be a disgrace, and to his children will be a reproach, which your worships can and they hope will save them. They are as yet young in life, and have not -learned to blush for a parent's shame, and they pray your wor ships to grant thern a Decree, changing their names. Judge Nash was counsel for the petitioner, and doubtless drew up the petition. ib. 3We have received a pamphlet Copy of an Address "to the Freemen ot the fourth Congressional District fX. C. comprising the counties of Johnston, Wayne, Greene, Lenoir, Jones, Craven, and Carteret," by the Hon. Jesse Sieight. Our limits forbid-its insertion entire, but we Copy with pleasure the closing part of the Address: It is known to you, that our present Chief Magistrate has re peatedly urged upon Congress the propriety of so amending the constitution as to limit the tenure of the Presidency to one term, and to prevent, in any event, the election devolving on the House of Representatives. The recom mendation was repeated in his an nual message at the meeting of 'be Congress which was refer red to a select committer, of hich I had the honor to be a "ember. We, after some delib eration, came to no conclusion, owing to the variety of opinions entertained on the subject. Mv own opinion is, that the constitu tion ought to be so amended as to limit the term to six years, and give the election to the People directly, so as entirely to dispense with electors; and further, so to amend it as in no event shall the election devolve upon the House of Representatives. The plan which 1 proposed, I will at some future day lay before the public. In connexion with this subject, I will beg leave to say one word as to the approaching election of I resident and V ice President. This I do, not with a view ofin tluencingthe opinion of any man; but as 1 may he called on to exer cise a very important trust, in a contingency by no means very remote or improbable, I think it fit and proper not to conceal my opinion on this subject. So far as my personal interest is concern-1 Catlan, the Murderer.

While. country. My honest opinion is, I that the country can only be sus taitied by continuing those princi ples which General Jackson has acted oa in Government. administering the When I came into years ago, I came Congress six as his friend, though not a very noisy one. I neither looked on him as one of the "greatest or best of men," but as an honest one; and I am happy to say that my most sanguine expectations have been realized. It may be that, . - . having no other object but to g.ve j h.sadmm.stratton an honest sup-, port, I have met with no disap- pouitment vol being ambitious . lor any other distinction but that! ot receiving the approbation of my constituents. If the selec tion ot a successor lo fill his place, j my object will be to get that iudi-Jed almost cerum by the fact that vidual who will be the most likely j several of our mot wealthy citi to pursue his policy. Of those zns who are understood to be spoken of, or who are likely to ! friendly to the new charter, have he candidates, I believe Martin i Van Ruren, of N. York, the pre cut V ice President, is the most likely lo accomplish this object. If, therefore, he shall be taken up by the Jackson antibank party, as a candidate tor President; with Col. R. M. Johnson, of Kentucky, as Vice President, (as I hope they will,) 1 shall not only vote for them at Ihe polls, but will vole for the former in the House of Representatives, (should I be a member, and should the election devolve on that body,) unless I am instructed by a clear and une quivocal maj:ity of my constitu ents, to vole for some other per son; in which event, I will either obey their instructions or resign my seat. I look on the right of instruction as the sheet anchor of our political safety. lie who de nies it, is either totally unacquain ted with the first principles of our Government, or is wholly unfit to represents free people. If I am asked how I will receive those instructions, I answerat the polls. I will not inflict on those I represent, the disagreeable task of meeting in primary assemblies to give formal instructions to me, when I have just ground lo know their will. Knowing it, as. an honest man, 1 will obey it. The subjects to which I have alluded, are of great importance to the American People. I have given you the text the commen tary will be given at a more con venient time, and in a more prop er manner. I have thus, fellow-citizens, called your attention to some of the most prominent subjects of na tional importance. In doing this, my object has been to pursue brevity and candor, rather than elegance f style or multiplicity of words. In a very few days the political connexions which have existed between us for the last six years, will be dissolved. For reasons not necessary here to enumerate, I had declined the idea cf again being a candidate, provided it was agreeable to the w ishes of my friends. This de termination was not formed with- wit the most solemn conviction on my part, of the? many obligations I was under to you, for having uniformly and so magnanimously sustained me against the most un justifiable assauts, evidently made with a view of destroying my character and reputation. A du ty, however, which I felt that I owed to my family, who are en tirely dependant on my exertions for their earthly romfoi t and hap piness, required at my hands that I should not longer make the sac rifice attendant on my remaining in public life. Hut the course re cently pursued against me, from a source and motive familiar to you all, leaves me no other alter native but again to throw myself on your justice and liberality, and ask a re-election lo the 2-1 th Con gress of the United Stairs. 1 am with sincere respect, Your obfdint servant, JKSSE SPEIGHT.

Mr. Cheever, of Salem, was assaulted in Essex street, in that town, with a cowhide, by a Mr. Ham, a foreman in the distill ery of Deacon Stone. The cause of the attack, we understand, was in consequenee of strong personal reflections on the famiy of Deacon Stone, in a newspaper, (the Land mark,) of which Mr. Cheever was the reputed author. The family of Deacon Stone is considered one of the most respectable in the town. The reverend gentleman was severely handled, and the ex citement in Salem is very great. Melancholy. Oil Thursday morning last the bodyypf a young girl by the name of Nancy Sim mons, whose parents reside in Middlebury, was found in a room at the inn of Mr. G. Rorendolph, at Batavia, burnt in a horrible manner about her breast and face. Two juries of inquest were called, who agreed upon a verdict that she came to her death by suffoca tion and burning. A mystery hangs over the death of this girl, and as the community is already sufficiently excited, we forbear making any comments this week, or attempting to give a history of the dark transaction. We may next week be able to throw more light upon the subject. Jlltica JY. Y. Repub. Ox'Extract from a letter dated "Frankfort,( Ky.) Feb. 10, 1835. On Sunday last, John U. War ing met S. Q.

CyThe Methodists alone in England during the last eight months, have raised 30,000 for the purpose of extending Chris tianity and instruction among the negroes of the Wrest Indies.
