WOODSON DANIEL. February 28. - lawSm - -TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1824. Wardens of .the Boor. An election took place at , tire Court-house in this pity, on Easter.-Monday, for Wardens of the Poor for-this.Cpunty, for the en" suing three years, whenAViw. Boyian' Esq. was re-elected, with the following new members, iz: Robert Cannon, Allen Rogers, Wrq. A. Tharpc, Na thaniel G. Rand, Nee'dham Norris, and Thomas Meals,. Esquires. Woodson Clements, Esq. is still Clerk, of the Warden's Court. I; No. additional cases ot Small -pox, have occurred in Halifax. The three persons, who have had it, are "nearly well. . Regular Nomination. How hap pens it, that te late meeting of Mem hers of Congress at Washington, in.orr der to ascertain which of the several persons spoken of for. President was the most popular, and to recommend him to the People of the Union, is so much abused ? Can it be merely be cause the meejfcing was attended only by the friends of Mr. Crawford ? This would certainly be unreasonable ; for, as all the R?ublican Members of Con gress were invited to attend, if tiiose who preferred another to Mr. Craw ford, chose to keep' away, from a be lief that they should be in a minority, this ought not to lessen . the respectabi lity or efficiency of the meeting. But, perhaps, if we look a little further into the matter1, Jwe shall, find a more sub stantial reason for the obloquy cast up on this meeting. It is the interest of a large body" of influential citizens of this country to put down this meeting, or any other, calculated to concentrate the Republican interest, These men, ever 1 since the election of ( Mr. Jeffer son to tfie Presidency (which could not have been effected but by a concentra-. tion of the Republican wilt) have been in . a minority 5 and considenng tlie present a fardrable moment for. regain ing their Jos power, they have taken advantage . . of the impolitic divisions which unhappily exist at present in the Republican J party to cry down? the Caucus mieting at Washington, in or der to keep up that difference of ppin- IUH.EIGII BJEGISTEZt - . -f "' ' ; election, , so much to be regretted Hy everv true friend of !. his country. If any ond doubts the fact, let him look at the sealous supporters of the oppo- si ti on, whether they be -s tor Adams, Calhoun or Jackson, and he will find them the very men who were most ac tive in opposing lhe electron of Jef- FERSON. ' And when this fact is satisfactorily ascertained, will it not open the eyes of such Republicans as have been de luded into the opposition ranks, from their agreeing with the - Federalists to condemn & Caucus nomination? Will they not see that they are now joined with men who formerly ) supported the Alien and Sedition Laws, and every ethec-dious feature of the Federal ad ministration ? AVe trust they will ; and when they see clearly their situation, that they will not continue in opposi tion to the good old j cause of Republi canism, but support the regular nomi nation, and by doing so, preserve to our country a just, economical and free A hervouswriter in iM National In- telligencer, who signs himself a Repub lican, and whose own words prove that he is so, holds tneifollowing language in one of his late communications : There never could ;be ereater danger to the Republic in electinga President by states, t'.ia1 at this 'time If thercVere thirty-four successive struggles in-lSCi, to defeat the election of the man who was the manifest and acknowledged choice of the people, and to place over him one , whom no one one of the electors intended, what tenacity stri ar.d convulsion, are we -not to expect, when three candidates are presented, nearly equal in strength, character, and qualifica tions! The very thought is appalling. It comes home to the bosom of every patriotic Republican. At such a crisis 4o be silent, is cTi iii7u.il. 1 lie sentinels ot liberty should stand upon the walls. They should cry aloud, and spare not." The alarm shouid be s mhded to the feast, West, North, and South. The apnea! should be strong, incessant, and emphaticA The man who looks on with indifference is treacherous. Where is the Republican so obstinate as to adhere to his preference to the destruction of his party, and perhaps the liberties of his country ? . , . ; But the election will not go to the House. The people ate beginning to see their dan ger. Local and personal attachments and prejudices are gradually subsiding. The farewell warning of the father of his coun try' is still sounding in our ears 'sections are not again to be arrayed against each other.- Mr. Crawford is acknowledged the JSiutional Candidate. . He has been announced accor ding to ancient republican usage. The peo ple now see that they can prevent the most appalling catastrophe. One hundred Mem bers of Congtcss, united for War. II. Ckaw- ro no, will soon return borne to inform and consult with their constituents They will then better understandfliis merits, his great ness, and his strength. - They will learn, 'that, thoug-h stretched on a bed of sickness and pain, from which he is but just recovered, and scarcely, during the winier,ableto asso ciate with hs,tnends, that though in this sit uation, he T&fL been obliged to wrestle with four active and vigilant competitors, and en dure obloquy, reproach and scandal, his ground has been sustained, his gain has been gradual, constant, and sure, and his .success is become not only probable, but al.nost cer tain. Such a man, with such a mind, and such strong hold on the people's affections, must and will prevail. The Petersburg Intelligencer in commenting, upon Mr. Edwards's me morial to Congress, observes, "one specification is, that Mr. Crawford has mismanaged the finances ; and this charge is brought forward bt Mr. E. notwithstanding the fact is notorious, that Mr. Crawford, since he came to office, has paid off thirty-three millions of the, Public Debt, and has at present a surplus in the National Trea sury of .upwards of six millions of dollars. Here's mismanagement : But if Mr. Crawford has managed ill, Mr. Edwards has .unquestionably, ma naged tcell. He has shewn himself an able financierfor after pocketing 18,000 Dojlars ef the People's Moner, H (his outfit - as M mister, to Mexicoan ap pointment which he obtained in prefer ence to General Harrison, the Irero of , Tippecanoe and the defender of ion on the ' subject of the Presidential Fort Meigs) he ghrei nj rettim Jimr sixty paes of MS.- transmitted from Wheeling his farewell legacv to Cou- gress iod (He Ntio '; V- - i The Annual General Election took place in the State ot Khode Island on Wednesday the 21st inst. James Fen- ner, a veteran Republican, is elected Governor of the State bya majority of several hundreds 6f votes, though, by a secret understandihjr. Wheeler Martin was nominated, on the morning of the election, and run for the bfiije at every place of election in the. State, on the ground that the election of Mr. Fen ner would be tantamount o pledgingthe vote of tlat State for the Presidency to Wm. H. Crawford. A Convention will meet in Rhode- island in June next to form a wntten Constitutioi when that little state will no doubt embody into her new frame, of Government all the principles which other states have found safe arid salutary. The New-York American, edited by the son of Rufus King, and consequent ly opposed to Mr. Crawford for Presi dent, has the following candid remarks, in relation to the prospects of General Jackson in that State : 7 V '" K The meeting's that have been held in this state in favor of Gen. Jackson, have been such as to give little encouragement to the cause they were intended to advocate. That in this city proved very conclusively to all who know our politics, that here no real and solid support could be relied oh ; that at Newburg, attended by about 100 peopli. was of still less weight ; and though respecU able and inntiential individuals in both these instances, as well as at the Albanv meetiriir. have lent their names for the occasion the probability of producing in this State any re sult favorable to Geri. Jackson, is too remote to become matter of discussion. We make these remarks, not out of anv disresnect.to J I - r General Jackson, nor from any apprehension that his success, if success were attainable, would be; disastrous to the country, but, in order- that those at a distance, particularly, may not attacn any undue importance to the proceedings above referred to, " v f Tcbacco.- We have received from the intelligent Editor of the American Farmer, a specimen of Tobacco raised by T. B. Dorsey, Esq. Attorney Gene ral of the State of Maryland, and which lately sold in the Baltimore market for S45 per hundred. This sample sur passes in color land texture any we have ever spen, aiuf the fibres branching from the main stem through the" leaf, are as attenuated as possible, and as yellow as the leaf itself, j We shall be glad to shew the sample which we have received, to any4one curious to see an article so fine in its kind. The Ame rican Farmer says, "The Tobacco of this quality ; heretofore inspected, has been very light, and although in a few instances a high price has been obtained, we suppose this hogshead, brought more money than any ever sold in Maryland. It weighed 707 lbs. and the proceeds amounted ts 84 19 13 Coxgress. The attention of the House of Representatives has been de voted,; during this week,: according: to previous arrangenfent, to the consider ation of bills of a private nature, for the rciiei oi maiviauais, in particular cases of claims or injuries. i , : 1 here was nothing of importance act ed on in the Senate, since our last, pre vious to the 2&th ult. at which-time the Tariflf Bill was taken up for considera- tion in committee ot uie wftoie. seve ral immaterial amendments were made, when Mr. Mills moved to strike from the bill the clause laying a duty on Iron. He supported his motion,' at considera ble length by shewing the irreat imbor- tance of this article to all classes oi the community, from tlie humblest laborer up to the plaisler and the merchant, to the cbmmerce : and navigation and to the manufacturer, as well as others and commented upon the impolicy of imposing a nigner uuiy upon an article of such absolute necessity to the coun try, and to , produce, which, ' in such Quantities as to meet tlie consumntion of the country, were, as te thought, ut terly incompetent.,.." i Mr. DicKerson repliexl to Mn MUls, and opposed . tlie r motion to strike vut the duty on Iron.
