To the Freemen of the Coun
ty of Edgecombe.
Fellow Citizens:
Only two mouths past 1
h ul not the least idea of be
in it any oiher than a private
citizen, and full satisfied to
attend to my farm ami other
private concern; hot u
: change has taken place: my
neighbors and friends have
:( earnestly and urgently soli
cited, and 1 have consented
to yield to their wishes!, and
have offered you my services
io the House of Commons in
the next Legislature. This
1 utn conscious I have not
done solely to grotify my
own inclination:., but the
wishes of my friends and for
the good of my fellow citi
zens at Urge. In sending
1'urth this short address to
my countrymen, especially
those who lire not personally
: acquainted with me, it may
perhaps be necessary to state
thiit 1 have been raised in
this county from my infancy,
my occupation is that of a
farmer, 1 have never follow
ed any other calling nor nev
er expect lo, as such the in
terest of most of the citizens
of this county must of course
be identified with mine.
With regard to my political
principles it is well known
that I have always gone with
the Republican party; 1 have
updevicttiugly voted with that
h r t y , and I hold no other
principles than those which
I think to lie truly democrat
ic, and I hope 1 never shall,
because I believe those prin-
ciples to be the only ones
whereby our government can
be safely managed.
Whil e advening to my po
litical principles it may not
be amiss to state, that 1 am
j a thorough-going Jackson
' wan. Notwithstanding there
lifts been as much fault found
f tlie present Administru-
lln, in my opinion it lias
been, is now, mid will be,
fought with more good to
ae country than any mhnin-
istration since Washington's.
hi adverting to any political
Motion which has agitated,
or mi)y agitate the State,
Perhaps none has been, or
UH be more handled than
1,111 of Internal Improve
ln... I . .
in giving my opinion
m this subject, I should do
Hl) conscience injustice to
; was opposed to it nllo-
i oilier, because internal im
; lavement is of great impor
, l;itw ...i.
, wuen carried on in a
Prt,per manner. The dues
,,(ai iIhmi necessarily arises
u 1.: i . J
u,u necessarily arises,
llc is the proper way to
c.irry it on! Some will no
doubt say, by the State; 1 say
not -because no part of in
ternal improvement could be
so managed as to be equally
beneficial to all the people,
(provided wo had resources,
which you know we. have not
at present.) And I contend
that it is not only unjust, but
unwise and impolitic to tax
tiny portion of the people to
pay for that which - cannot
nor will not benefit them.
Then how shall it be carried
onl I say, by individual en
terprise. If any portion of
the people of the State w ish
it done, let them do it if it
will be to their advantage.
To show that this is uot on
ly my opinion but my princi
ples also, I will stale a cir
cumstance. 1 wanted my
low lands improved and ren
dered dry I did not go to
the State for assistance, but
went tt) work myself, and af
ter expending upwards of j
'"$800, have accomplished my
object. Now let every advo-
eate for internal improvement
by the State advance that
amount to accomplish any
object they wish done, and 1
will warrant the State to be
highly improved. I deem it
unnecessary to say much on
the subjei t of the Conven-
tiou. The question has been
before the people and they
have derided io the nfrirma
live. The Convention is now
silting and making altera-!
lions, which if sanctioned
will become the Constitu
tion of the Slate. 1 for one.
wish that it may be as well
with the people as under the
old Constitution, but I fear
there will be much dissatis
faction among them.
I have already perhaps too
much trespassed on you, and
will close by assuring you
that should you place coufi-
i i .. ..i .
oence enuugn in me in eiec.i
me as one of your represent
atives, that nothing shall be
wanting on my part as far as
ny abilities will admit, to
promote your best interest
tnd th:'r of the State gene
rally. I hope the short
space of time between now
ind the day of election w ill
be a sufficient apology fur
my not going among you as
much as I should otherwise
wish.

Forgery in High Life. The
New York Transcript says "A
Forgery to a very large amount
has been committed ou the Rev.
Mr. Schroeder of this city, by two
young men of highly respectable
connexions, one the son oi tsisnop
the other a son of the late Lli-
shaTibbets. Tibhets is now at
Bellevue, awaiting, his trial, and
his companion is not yet arrested.
The forgery consisted in affixing
Mr. Schroeders name to bank
checks, which they subsequently
got cashed." Pet. Con.
Important Adjudication.
The reciprocal rights and duties
of passengers and the proprietors
of steamboats, in the case about
to be given from the Newport
Mercury, are matters which it is
interesting to be generally known.
The case is as follows:
A case w as tried at Newport R.
,ast week before lhe Circuit
Court of the United States, in
which the Captain of one of the
New York and Providence Steam
boats was sued fur having set a
shore or refuted to take on board
the agent of a line of stages run
ning from Providence to Boston,
in competition with the line which
was connected with the boats.
The business of the agent on
board was to invite passengers to
take seats in the opposition stages.
The action was brought cn the
ground, that the steamboats being
a public conveyance and publicly
advertised to carry passengers,
had no right to reject any one
who behaved civilly on board.
Judge Story, however, laid down
a different rule, which was, that
the owners of public conveyances
might prescribe tbeir own coudi
lions, provided they were not op
pressive to travellers. The jury
returned a verdict for defendant.

mob of colored persons who at
length attacked the ofiicers and
attempted a rescue. 'J 'hey were
beaten ou. Those w ho have in
flence with this class of our popu
lace should instruct them of the
impropriety and danger of at
tempting to arrest by force the
course of the law. V hite citizens
cannot commit such offences
without severe and just punish
ment; why should colored persons
expect impunity. Phil. Gaz.
Look Did. An abolition gen
t'oman went into 13m ke county,
Georgia, and harangued the ne
groes in favor of immediate eman

the spot, and gave him fifty laahes
and let him go. J Y. Star.
Singular Error. A few davs
since one of the tellers in a care
ful and well-administered Banking
institution of Philadelphia, in
balancing his accounts and count
ing his money, found that he had
Si GOO over. The accounts w ere
accurately balanced, and it was
impossible to explain the error.
The "most singular circumstance
in the affair,, is, that the individual
who made the error has not dis
covered it nor claimed the amount.
A good reason! Joseph Clark,
who had been forty five years
Treasurer of Rhode Island, was at
the age of 70, nominated for Gov-
ei uor. He declined, and assigned j
the following reasons, the force of)
which, we imagine, will be fully j
acknowledged by every man who;
has, in limes of party excitement
particularly, occupied the position
of a candidate for popular favor:
"As I have enjoyed a good
character among my fellow citi
zens all my life, as is proved by
their choosing me their Treasurer
more than forty years, I have no
notion of losing it now , in my old
fe by being set up for Governor."
Large Hail Stones. It is
stated in the papers that during
a severe squall in Gallatin, Tenn.
hail stones fell in the form of solid
chunks oj ice, many weighing a
quarter of a pound and averaged
from eight to sixteen inches in cir
cumference! One of them was
picked up after the storm which
weighed a pound! !t must have
been rather awkward to have been
caught out in sueh a shower.
fJA large meeting was held
a few days ago in Philadelphia
of the working women, seam
stresses, tailoresses, binders, &ic.
Matthew Carey, Esq. presided.
The Inquirer says, that many im
portant and sterling facts were
stated, showing the injustice and
oppression practised towards the
working women of Philadelphia,
many of whom are compelled to
loil from sunrise till midnight, and
still are scarcely able to earn a
miserable sustenance. Very af
fecting pictures of poverty pre
sented. The chief business done
at the meeting, was the appoint
ment of committees of each
branch of industry, who are di
rected to form a scale of the pres
ent prices allowed, and what ad
vances; are deemed essential to
enable these interested to live
with some flegree of comfort.

Very accomodating. The Ar
kansas Gazette, in giving an ac
count of the conv iction of Dickson
Nobles, for the murder of a Mr.
Graham, sas: "He was sen
tenced to be executed on the 22d
of May, an earlier day than usual,
at the particular rcqutst of the pri
soner." Murder.-1 he Governor of
Alabama has issued his Procla
mation, offering a reward of
S0U for the apprehension of
William P. McGrew and William
McGrew, or $400 for either of
them, who, on or about the 1st
of April last, in the county of
Sumter, murdered a couple of
boys in the most shocking and
aggravated manner, one 16 or 17,
and the other 11 or 12 years old.
fX?The Baltimore Gazette says
the Wheat Crop "after so many
dismal reports and gloomy fore
bodings, et promises, we are
credibly informed, to be a fair
average one in the three States of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and Mary
laud, on the western shore at least.
In some parts of Virginia it is
said that com w ill be indifferent,
In Mary laud, Tobacco and corn
are at present rather uupromis-
ing; but with the advance of the
season, the prospect it is hoped,
will brighten as it respects these."
Law of printers. The Alexan
dria Gazette states that in the
case of Arnold vs. Clifford, tried
at Newport, R. I. last week,
Judge Story upon an incidental
point, decided that a promise on
the part of the w riter of a libel to
indemnify the printer of it, against
any damage he might sustain for
printing, could not be enforced.
Lven i a bond were taken, that
would be void.
Fatal Rencontre! We under
stand that a fatal rencontre took
place on Tuesday afternoon last,
at Chuckatuck, between William
C. Cowper and Samuel Whitfield,
Jr. both of that vicinity. Cow
per fired a pistol at Whitfield, who
immediately returned the fire at
Cowper, the ball passing through
the abdomen of the latter, who
died instantly. Josiah C. Pat
ker, a brother of Cowper, then
fired a pistol at Whitfield,' who
fell dead, the ball passing through
his body, and also killing a Ne
gro man who stood near him!!
We are informed that Parker
took passage yesterday afternoon
in the mlumore steam boat.
Norfolk Beacon,
A Canrcr.'Sh. Thomas Tyr
el!, of Missouri, advertises that a
cancer upon his nose which had
been treated without success bv
Dr. Smith of New Haven, and
the ablest surgeon's in the western
country, had been cured in the
following manner: He was recom
mended to use a strong potash,
made of the ashes of red oak bark
boiled down to the consistence ol
"molasses, to cover ihe cancer with
it, and in about an hour afterwards
cover it with a plaster of tar,
which must be removed after a
few days, and if any protuberances
remain in the wound apply more
potash to them, and the plaster
again, until they shall disappear,
after which heal the wound with
common salve- Cautery and
the knife had been previously
used in vain. This treatment
effected a speedy and perfect cure.

Jore Riots in New York. We
learn from the New York papers,
that the peace of the city was
again disturbed on Tuesday night,
by riotous assemblages and fight
ing parties, of Americans and
foreigners, between whom a con
siderable feeling of hostility ap
peared to exist. Besides the per
sonal consequences of the affray
that night, some injury was done
to private property, and especial
ly to the house called the Green
Dragon, in the Bowery, near
Broome street, which was
battered on the outside, and the
bar-room furniture completely
'smashed. The Commercial
says it is heartily sick and dis
gusted with these miserable evi
dences of the unsound and unsafe
condition of that city and well
it may be. No matter on which
side lies the blame or cause of
offence, it is high time the offen
ders were arrested, and taught by
a little wholesome experience, that
the law is sovereign and must be
obeyed if indeed such be the
fact.
We learn from the Commercial
of Wednesday, that Dr. M'Caf
frey, who had been attacked hi
mere wantonness by the mob on
Sunday night, while ou his way to
visit a patient, and severely bea
ten, has since died of the injuries
thus sustained. Bait. Pat.
C7WTith the profoundest sorrow,
we have heard of the sudden and
voluntary death of James P. Hen
derson, Esq. of this county. It
occurred at Cock's Tavern on
Tuesday evening last.
We have not language to give
utterance to the painful feelings
inspired by this melancholy event.
One so universally beloved so
wrapt up in the hearts of all who
knew him, it has rarely been our
good fortune to know. Gay, so
ciable, affectionate, devoted to his
friends, without an enemy, the
rememberance of his many virtues
and amiable qualities, will render
more bitter and poignant the
grief ofhis numerous friends for
his untimely end. Every heart
in this community bleeds at his
sad and melancholy fate.
We have heard no rational
cause assigned for the fatal act..
But recently married, just em
barked on the voyage of life, with
the brightest prospects, and, to
all appearances, as happy as heart
could desire, all are at a loss to
conjecture a reason for the tragic
deed. Charlottesville Va. Adv.
VLOur friend Jenks, of the
Nantucket Enquirer, has received
a letter from the South Seas, de
tailing a curious adventure of ai
encounter with a whale, in whicl
a younc man named Hale, was
actually received like Jonah into
the whale's (not belly, hut) mouth
and after being munched upon
like a mouse by a cat for some
moments, thrown out again not
without receiving, however, six
severe wounds and contusions',
from which he is fast recovering.
The whales are said to be unusu

The Nunnery at Rochester. It
is unquestionably a fact that a
building was begun at Rochester,
m our state, for a nunnery, and
partially completed; but from
what cause we know not, its fur
ther construction is suspended.
It will probably be converted in-
to a dvvelhmi.

Patchism. On the 11th
tilt, a sailor leaped from the top
of the mainmast of a full-ringed
brig into the Schuylkill, near
Philadelphia a distance of more
than a hundred feet in the pres
ence of a large concourse of per
sons, assembled to witness the
feat of the hardy Tar. Just be
fore starting from the "dizzy
eminence," he made a short ad
dress to the crowd below stated
that he was about to make a
'pretty considerable of a leap'-
that several ofhis friends would
take up a collection in his behalf,
and hoped that no one would
contribute 'less than a fip, or more
than a quarter bade them all an
affectionate farewell, aud 'down
ward plunged.' He remained
under water but a short time, aud
on his reappearance was cheered
by the multitude.
flTIt is stated that on the night
of Thursday, the 12th inst. a man
bv the name of Sturdevant, and
his wife, residing in Well's town
ship, Bradford county, Penn.
were killed by lighting while in
bed. A child that was in the bed
with them was but slightly
in-
jured.
fXThe editor of the Virginia
Argus says. "We have been
presented with a black egg, which
came from the farm of Gov.
Floyd, in Montgomery, and we
understand was one of manv
others which were found in the
poultry yard. We are unable to
account for the color of the esc.
and should be glad to hear some
explanation for it. It has the ap
pearance of an egc died with wal
nut bark, rather darker in some
places.
fT7At Baltimore, Fairfield co.
O. on the evening of the 31st ult.
a severe storm occurred, which

Licking co. instantly killed, and
15 or 16 others more of less seri

On the same day, a Mr. John
Shrover of Butler co, O. with his
