j At Washington Superior Court, oh the
llth inst. Judge Badger presiding, John
Skinner as tried and convicted of the charge
of having poisoned his own brother. He is
sentenced for execution on the 23d of Xpril
:t GtTEHAL Jacksow. We insert in to-da's
paper, at the request of a friend of the Ge
nersl, the proceedings of the Harrisbur;
Convention, recommending him for Presi
dent. We are somewhat surprised,' that
Pennsylvania, who has heretofore supported
the character of an intelligent, peaceful and
moral State, should have been so unanimous
in their support of Gen. Jackson for the first
office in the Union. That the less thinking
part of the community should be captivated
by, the pomp of military fame, is not to be
wondered at ; but that the State of Pennsyl
Yania should not have made the proper dis
tinction between the qualifications of a Sol
dier and a Statesman, is extraordinary. Be
lieving as we do, that however highly Gen
Jackson deserves the gratitude of his, country
for his military services, he is not a! suitable
character to fill the office of President of. the
United States, we shall give place irf the Re
gister to some well written papers which ap
pear in the Richmond Enquirer, illustrative
of his talents and character. ?-t

' At an ; accidental meeting of a number of
the. citizens. of, Guilford, on the 13th inst. it
wasr proposed jtb try the relative strengtlt of
eaclT of the Presidential dandTdates. llie
proposition was agreed ,to and the result was
as follows :ForWm. H. Crawford 48 ; John!
Q. Adams 28 and for Gen. Jackson' 2. , ,As
the meeting was not held with any view to
the Presidential question, jt is but a fair pre
sumption that a corresponding vote, would
be given throughout the county. ...
At a public meeting held -at Zanesville in
the State of Ohio, on the 28th uh. for tlie pur
pose of recommending a candidate for the
Presidency, at which Gen. S. HEficKs pre.
sided, it was resolved, that the convention
lately held at Washington,, according to the
approved mode and former usages of the
great Republican Party, was particularly pro
per at the present juncture, as without such
a nomination no choice of President can be
made by the Electoral Colleges ; that the
meeting approve of the nomination of Wra
IL Crawford for President, and Albert Galla
tin for Vice-President.
On Tuesday last, the President of the U.
States presented to Gen. Jacxsotc, accompa
nied by a suitable address, the Gold Medal
voted 'to him by Congress, in 1815, for his
gallant defence of New-Orleans. At the
same time, .'Judge Todd of the Supreme
Court, representing Gov. Shelby of Ken
tucky, received the Medal which had been
voted to. him for the capture on- the river
Thames, ; of the British army under Gen.
Proctor. Both gentlemen repjied in a per.
tinent manner to the President. The cere
mony took place at the President's house,
where were assembled j a large number of
spectators to witness it. j
The seat of Mr. Bailey, a Representative
from Massachusetts has been vacated by a
decisive vote of the House af j Representa
tives of the United- States. This'decision,
the first under the Government on that pointj,
may be considered as settling the rule, that
a person accepting tne employment oi a
Clerk in a Public Office 'at Washington, and
performing its duties, loses the privileges of
adomicil .in the state in whjch he resided at
the time of his appointment.
Ambrose Spexceb has been elected Mayo
of the City of Albany, and thus has termina
ted the long contest between the two par
ties of the City Council on this subject. The
election was at length effected by one of the
Republican members putting in a blank bal
lot. When the votes stood, for Mr. Spen-
cer 11 for Mr, Lancing 10 for Mr, Nobody
1 . Judge Spencer has accepted the appoint
ment. ;!
It is stated in Silllmans Journal of Science
that a Monsieur Le Roi has contrived a new
and very simple method for teaching the art
6f writing. A thin and perfectly transparent
plate of horn, of the usual size of a leaf of pa
per, has the polish removed from one of its
sides. When laid upon a copy, the hand of
a child easily traces the letters upon the un
polished side, which neither absorbs the ink,
nor allows it to spread when the whole
plate is written over", the ink; is washed off
I with water, and is ready for a new exercise.
Thus the same horn, which is not liable to
break, may serve indefinitely,." and' by this
means produce a great economy cf paper.
jThe "Republican of last evening con
gratulates its patrons on .thecrreat harmo
ny which exists between " the .friends of
Gen. Jackson, Mr.! Adams, Mr. Clay, and
Mr, Calhoun.' It is Pope, we believe, who
says thati
' All discord's harmony not understood.'
It must be from this hypothesis the Re
publican" derives consolation in the present
condition of affairs if any judgment may be
formed from the jarring chords of the Colum
bian Observer, New-i ork American, Franklin
Gazette, &c. JatInt.
A consistent Federalist-! Mr. Hun
ter, late a Senator of .the U. States
from Rhode-Island, defending the Se

As to the charge of being a Federalist, a

ry. u nave ainerea; witn my Dreturen on

the policy and principles of the' Father of

iicity wiucn ms measures createa, anu wuicu

And is it then a crime being such a Federal
ist," to entertain ah opinion jn favor of Mr.
Cr wto an ? 1 regret that my good will may
do him disservice, but I am a citizen of the
United States , not yet disfranchisec, and I
have a right to form and express aa opinion
unon Questions of public . Dolicv.' When
there is Bo federal candidate, is a federalist
excluded from expressing his preference pf
those Candidate who are presented for &e
lection, or r rejection ? Under such circum
stances has not a federalist a right to act Jon
the mere ground of personal preference,
especially if he feels that ground fortified by
political considerations derived from expe
rience and settled into conviction. My first
acquaintance with Mr. Crawford was in the
stormy period of 1811, '12 and '13. It was
in opposition to him that I learntto respecl
and esteem him.; Jt was in debate that I felt
the visror of his intellect, and admired the
clearness of of his statements, the cogency of
his lpgic;; his energetic but unambitious elo
quence, and high mindedness of honor and
sentiment. He was true to his party and yet
dared at times, at the risk of popularity, to
difTerfrom it. , His force was felt as S politi
cal opponent, and yet he was cherished in
the personal estimation of such men as Bay
ard; Lloyd, Potter, Dana, and others. And
is it inconceivable to newspaper writers and
their employers ; that there may exist a dis
interested preference for a particular indivi
dual, uninfluenced by the wish or hope of
office, with no calculation of eventual bene
fit, and with a disdain of intrigue or solicita
tion ? I commiserate the feelings of sucH
men, and it augurs ill of the political mora
lity "of the country if such is the prevalent
sentiment; v. j : a 5
The Massachusetts Free Press has avowed
itself a supporter of Mr. Crawford. It has
been extremely fashionable,'' says the Edi
tor, " to object to this distinguished indivi
dual a . spirit of intrigue, and familiarity with
its practice,; which ought to subject him to
the severe displeasure of the honest and no
ble minded. But "notwithstanding the ardor
with which this objection has been urged, it
is remarkable that not aparticle o satisfactory
evidence exists for its support and whoever
Will lase uie pains iu ry air. urawiui u una
groundless charere will be convinced, , in the
end, that, so far from being distinguished
for intrigue, bis great peculiarity character
is open, frank, and ingenuous fairness. Io Such,
at least, is my own opinion j aridi" without
pretending to praise, or attemptingto defend,
I deem it sufficient to haye disclosed the res
pect 'and confidence which I feel towards
that illustrious Republican.
