Sheriff of Wake County,' has been the first to . settle his accounts with the Treasurer of the State. That Mr. Crawford will obtain the vote of North-Carolina, is now so ap parent, that even the opposition press es negatively admit the fact;? The last Star-calls upon the friends of the Peo pies Ticket? to. be on the alert, and thereby, endeavor to frustrate the de- igns of the; Caucus party, as it is pleas- ed to term' the friends of the National Candidate'. this. is tantamount to a decUratlon, that the', self created ticket in ihisr state, stands but little chance of success. "Well ! this is at ;least! honest", in the Star, and affords ' proof positive, that they are getting tli .JL'" ,B m .ft better of their enthusiastic notions. llitlicrto, they have mistaken the con Hdence of expectation, for the certainty of experience, and positiveness of opi riion for the conviction of reason. Mr. Crawford. We were inform ed by a gentleman of information and respectability, who passed through this city on Sunday last, that he left the Se cretary of the Treasury at Berkeley Springs in Virginia, on the 27th ult. and that he was almost entirely restor- ed to his wonted health. All symp toms' of disease were absent, and he was acquiring strength with, astonish ing rapidity ; and as an evidence of it the gentleman stated he had gained fif teen pounds in weight, since, his arrival 'at the Springs. We notice this to re fute the erroneous assertions, which the enemies of Mr." Crawford find it to their interestto circulate, relative to his health. These report-mongers not con tent with calumniating his political cha racter, depreciating Jlis talents and traducing "his moral -worth, have not Fcrupled ,to represent him as blind, ' lame, deaf and dumb ; and in short in a more deplorable situation. than Job himself, who hardly escaped with the kin of Uh teeth. ' - . . Tlie Correspondent who charged us few weeks sir.ee, with having publiih ' a communication of his, in favor of Gen. Jackson, : in aa few papers ony, . tliat went-to Warrcntoh,' has made another appeal to the .public through the .me dium of the last Star. : He does not makejhis appearance, however, to claim 4 the glOO reward we offered him for proof of his accusations, but to show ! that e'en though vanquished, he can argue still. 99 As it is one of the evils of ignorance not to be sensible. of its own defects, so tlje.crudc effusions of Warrex d o n ot ex ci te our wond e r. We gave a statement which satisfied every one but himself! and we ;cannot per ceive njv obligation we are under to ' lufnish hici'with understanding as well a explanation. , We have abandoned the idea of convincing him, that though Perkins has proved the compressibility of water,. no discovery, has as yet been "oiade of condensing Type-metal, so that tex columns shall contain as much, mat ter as twenty. ' - y ' ' " -r The friendsbf Mr.:"Adams at the j te session of the Legislature of New l0rk strained everv nerve to alter the Electoral Law, and inveighed again s iuc; xjegisiamre, Decause it was no done. But in the state of. Vermont, the same party refused, to alteir the Electoral lawv This is consistency for you. " 1 ' i - V The annual commencement at the University in Cambridge' was.celebra- tea r on me so tn ,u i u we perceive thai araon the strangers attending: the exercises and the commeneement din 4 - ner, on the, invitation of the Govern ment, were Gen. Xafayette, his son, and Mr. Le Vasseur, the gentlemen of the New-York corporation, and other strangers of distinction. ; The degree of .A. B. was,cbnferred on sixty-five young gentlemen; . Deduction of Interest. The Mas sachusetts Bank in Boston, represent ed jto be, one of ..the" most respectable banking institutions in the state, ha$ determined to reduce the rate of inte- rest on discounts granted by it, to five per cent, per annum. The United States' line of battle ship Franklin, Commodore Stewart, has ar rived at New-York, from a three years' cruise in the Pacific Ocean. The of ficers and crev are all in good health. i .Death of Iturbide. By the arri- rival, of the brig. Catharine at New- York, from Alvarado, intelligence was received, of the death of the ex-Em i peror Iturbide. He anived at Port j . . . Mareno, on the 16th July, in an En lish bri from London, where he was taken by the Captain General of St. Audera, and - brought before the. Con- gress of that place. After undergoiti a'tnal, he was found guilty and sen tenced to be shot, which sentence was earned into execution at Padilla, on the afternoon of the 18th July. His death Js' an awful lesson to usurpers. He doubtless earned bis fate by Jiisv Wil ful violation of the terms upon which his life was spared. ! The King and Queen of the Sand wich Islands lately died in London. The National Advocate, attributes their death to change of diet 5 living in their native-land on seal skins, blubber oil, and whale fins, and surrendering such luxuries for capons, roast, beef, and port wine. It was sufficient to kill persons of more robust habits. : The brig America, Neal, from Bue nos Ayres, with the Family ; of the late Hon. Caesar Rodney tin board, has arrived. They were landed at New-Castle. : It is a; singular fact that the quantity (number) pf Eggs imported into England from France, in the year 1822, was fifty millions, and that the duty col lected by the British government upun the importation (lOd. per each 120) amounted to upwards of 17,000. ster ling. Tlie annual meeting of the Society for mitigating and gradually abolishing the state of Slavery, in. the British Do minions, was held at the Free Masons' Tavern, in London, in July ; His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, in the chair. . The Duki was accompa nied into the Hall by Mr. Wilberforce and four otlier Members of Parliament ''Amongst tfte distinguished persons, saj s the London Times, who accompa nied his Royal Highness, ; Vr. John Randolph the. celebrated Member, of the orth American Congress, was particularly conspicuous." -700 per sons were estimated, to have been pre -s'ent full one half of whom were la thes, elegantly dressed, including a great proportion of the fair members of tlie Society of Friends. 77 3lr. lu does not appear to haTe addressed the Meet ing.' Th e Republicans of Alabama (say's the Alabama btate uaz.) are at, length beginning to act with eriergy. Meetings have been held in . various sections of the State' jto promote the election of W. H. Crawford, and the public sen ntnent ejuresscu . wiui iuu.t uuiuucss which becomes freemen. . An electo ral . ticket has been formed; consisting t)f men high in the confidence of their fellow-citizens, most": of whom have discharged important and responsible omces wixn zeai-ana aoiuty. lnenis tory of their whole lives, is the strong- est comment on me purny 01 ineir . in tentions. They have all of them fought the good fight in the republican rank, and came of victorious. Let us, therefore, continue the good work so successfully commenced. Let his friends in every section of the state assemble themselves together, and a dopt such measures as will ensure a co-operation in the approaching elec tion. No time ought . to be lost ; for ir a few more revolving months we shall be called on to exercise a privi lege inestimable to freemen the pri- vilege.of saying who shall rule over our rignts anu noerties. me tear 01 beingv in a minority is a cowardly ap prehension, unworthy !of a great mind. Let us. do our dutv manfully. Let us acquit ourselves to our , consciences, ours country, and our God, and leave the result, vithout fear, to the virtue and intelligence of the People.

A bloody BiWp. A letter from Green Bay dated July 51st says 'I have only the following news to write : Twosoldiers, Clark and Wilson desert ed from this post a few days ago, arm ed wi th fou r m u skets, &c.
