The Editors of. the Star, in their last paper,. accuse os of wilful falsehood, for the same reason that a lugiuve irom justice, hen pursued with hue and cjy, bawls more lustily than any pf his pur suers Stop the thief hoping that in the confusion -which ensues, he may possibly'escape. Thus, the Star, en deavors to rid itself of the charge of misstating. the' vote cn tne -rresiaenuai question, .ta'rcn in this city on the 15tb ult. Ajhichcaused Mr. Crawford to.'ap pear loveston the list, by imputing to Jus disrepiable motives. .Yet they in :efiect dmit the very fact, upon our statement of which, is predicated their unfounded allegations. According to their own shewing, , ,but seven compa nies out oQ two -regiments voted, the number of votes given amounting to 292. AVe are informed that each regiment by law consists of ten companies 5 and it vis no difficuHmatter to -ascertain what proportion seven bears to twenty. There were on parade 150D men $ out of these C92 voted, and yet we are charged witK jalsehood for sayingthat more than' two thirds did not vote. We presume tlie Star does not 'deny, that the reason why the Jvote ' was so partially taken, was a determination of the officers not to be forced into a premature expres sion of theiropinion on, the subject. Take your choice ! Tlie PreM dential Question in this State mayjipw be considered us settfed down to two candidates Crawford and Jackson ; 90 that the people have only to take thairchoice between them. And enough has been said, or will, be said, before" the day of election, ; to enable every man to judge for himself which of the two candidates promises' to make th most wise, correct and efficieut Chief iaistrate. Those who ' have been, and still are friendly to the election of Mr. Adams, will either not vote at alu l(ir gtvethr1 suffrages to that ticket; the success of which they may believe wiU'beTst subserve the interests of the , . . - . - ..... 1 L-nton.' " - t I iielicving, as we do, that the.peacc, happiness and prosperity of the coun try, wou 1 d 'be ! pu t to haza rd by ' the choice of one of the candidates, anI that they would be secured and pi pnio cd by the other, wc.hall continue-our endeavors to promote1 the election' of 31 r. tJrawloru ot whose ultimate suc cess we Have not the least doubt fur vven were he not to obtain the . votes of this State (an issue which we can scarce ly believe possible) his election by: the Hou se of Representatives, where the decision will then necessarily be mad, 13 as certain as-any undecided -tltin can be- . , In order to throw, some additional light on tne character, of . oue of the can ' d'ulates, we publisK in to-day's Regis ter, an extract, from an address to the People of . the United States, by 5 . Jesse BehtonW Tennessee, (a "native of. Orange County, in this State,: and . brother of Thomas H. Benton," a Sena tor from 3Iissoun,) and if one half ; of ' what this writer states, be true (we trust however," for the sake of humanitv thit ' some of the facta are too highly colored) we cannot bat r Wonder how any ' rnan who has the least regard for. virtue or decency of character andmpreept- cially any reiigiotis man, can support Andrew Jackson as a candidate for the Presidency of the United Staies. Somethin ExtraordinarifJ The supporters of the Jackson Ticket have not only improperly called it the People's 1 cKet,j they ha "gone turtlier, ana named ' it the Jefferson Ticket, though they very 4 well 1 know, that not . only Mr. Jefferson himself, but Mr.'Madi son, Mr. Macon,' Mr.. Gaillard, 'Mr. Dickinson and all his leading friends, are v. r.rnf and decided friends of Mr Crawford, 'ft ; J ' : r-- . " ; We nAve, received within a few days the Catawba- Journal and , Warrentqn Reporter, two new papers recently es- tablrsbcd in this .State ; - the former 1 . printed at Charlotte, Mecklenburg County tne latter at Warrenton, War: ren County. The Journal does not ex press what part it intends taking in the national struggle ; we have little doubt however, but that it is friendly to Mr. Adams, t The Reporter, which is pub lished twice a week, says, in relation to the contest "The distinguished inr dividual who stands at the head of the TreasuryDepartment ; whose princi ples, demagogues may, assail, but can not change : whose official conduct and pharacter, ' censors may impeach, and slanderers attempt, but attempt in vain to destroy 5 4yhose ability, firmness and integrity has enabled him to manage the national funds with j as much or more advantage to his country than any of his predecessors in office, is in our opinion, the man, over either of his op ponents, best qualified and most enti tled to receive the highest honors hfs country can bestow." ; Missouri. From some omission in the -laws relative to the election of Electors, it is Tjow?belieyed that the State of Missouri will lose, her three voes. in (helSlec'tora! Election. It is true, the Governor has issued his pro clamation to remedy the defect, but he has' done so without authority. The St. Louis Republican of Sept. 13, says ' It is, we believe generally understood that the defect in, our electoral law has .notrbeen supplied by the proc!sination of the Govern-J or ; at ick mat it a mailer ot consiueranie doubt. How can the Governor, the' mere ex ecutive officer of the state, make laws His duty is to cause, the Jaws to be executed iiot tp supply what , are supposed to be omissions of the legislature. ' If the Governor lias this power,' he would have done, well to. have ex ercised it in many instances before.. Te can cite him acts from the statute book, in which the insertion or change oF a word or clause, would have been, a great convenience to the public, as well as an apparent furtherance of the intent of the legislature. V. We have in our Xiind an act, in which the word grantor is used instead of the word graiitee by mis-, take as every body knows. Can the Gover nor make the change of one syllable in this case, which is necessary in order that the act should mean what it was intended to mean ?" The Editors of the National Journal, Sec. &c. have been completely bit, in the publication of the, account of a pre tended meeting in, Richmond county. Ga. the Editor of. the Augusta Chro nicle repeals it, is all a Abaa' denies there was any such meeting any such thai rm an as M r. ' H 0 ward, any such Secretary.as Mr. Sullivan and affirms there is no sort of chance of Mr.' Craw ford's losing " the vote of Oglethorpe county. r 5 '; Jin Eartkquake.--The Florida (Ala. ) Gazette, of Thu rsday, Aug.' 26, says, the citizens of that town and its vicin ity, experienced on the preceding Sun-, day' morning, ati about half past four o'clock, a severe shock ; of an Earthquake iii is supposed by many to have fasted at least a minute. -' ; . Explosion. The powder, mills of Messrs Lafiin & Loomis,:in Lee, -Mass, blew up' with' with a. terrible, explosion on the 1 8th. There were about Z500 10s in ; two nouses,- wnicn ,tore every thing to pieces.'. rFouf men were' killed andmany-. buildings 'destroyed!' ' A sparic nau got into tne gtazing nouse. Patent Corn -sh etttv. A Mr. H uh- bard of Palmyra, N. Y, has invented a machine for shejlin corn, by whicH tweinen'can shell and clean 15 bush- els of corn in an hour New-Orleans. -rf he papers state, that tbe yellow fever maintains its afflicting'course without any appearance of amendment, Its ravages are prin ci pally confined, however, to strangers, and citizen! who are.'unacclinialed.'' .ThQ Catawba, N. C. Journal speaks of the agricultural prospects in that quarter as follows : . ' ' The prospects of tlie farrner, which, at the beginning' of September, promised a rich re turn for his toil and industry, one short month has very materially j changed. Incessant rains and inundations, -the absence of the cheering beams ,of tlie sun for days, and even weeks, have proved sadly destructive to the corn and cotton crop!. , Tlie crop of cotton will , fall short at leat. one-third and little, if anv of it. will be of erood qualitv. On some plantationsjwhere 1000 lbs. per acrewere expected, scarcely 300 lbs.jwill be obtained ; and on others the deficiency will be still greater. Corn, perhaps, has, not--, suffered quite so severely, though not much more than two-tairds'of a crop can be expected ; and on the low-e rounds on the Catawba pumerous fields, it is said, have been almost mined, In short the prospects' in every respect is gloom- my : and all classes of citizens must feel, mere or less, the effects of this 'calamity which has overwhelmed the agricultural portion of the commvmty. . The Milton Gazette? gives a reverse of the above gloomy picture, though we fear but few sections of the State can cheerinfflyjrespond.to.it : fThe Crop.--The period of the year has now arrived when both the quality ana quan titv of the agricultural products of the coun try may be spoken of with some degree pf cer tainty, and when the Farmer may form a tol erable estimate of his gsin3 for the Ve;tr, with out much danger of having his expectations blasted. - We are happy ir. having it to say, that the coimtryls filled even to overflowing with provision of all sorts, fand that they are extremely cheap. The Corn civ?,' though not so abundant as that of th" last, and perhaps of several previous vcars, will, -nevertheless.' far exceed the ordinary consumptions of tr;e country. The Cotton' fields are' just begin ning, to unfold their -snowy .treasures, 'and, though somewhat damaged," promise to be proline. The Tobn ceo crop, wbrchis'row mostly cut and housed, was much injured by the drought in July, and it has suffered se vcrely from, the excessive rains which tell du ring tlie .first and second weeks of the past month. It is thought that the quantity rmide is not so much ; s that of last year, and per haps the quality somewhat inferior. The To bacco plant may be considered the staph CQ-'itmodhy in this section of' the count iy, & it is pjeasing to obaerve tne great improvements which have! been made in jts . culture and man asrement witliin the last fVw vears. From Xxreecr..- The brig Lapwing, Captain King, has arriVed; at Boston, in 67 days from Smyrna. By this ar Vital -the late' disasters experienced by the Greeks are confirmed. The cap ture of Ipsara was on the Fourth of dal ly ; a 'day 'w h ich sliou 1 d j bri ng forth th e triumph of freedom in other climes as it has already done in ' this.' The ma lignant and turban'dTurk maddened by a series of defeats,. took awful venge ance, on the unhappy Ipsariots, most of whom were massacred, and the young ones made slaves. Alen and women defended themseftes with undaunted .courage to the-lastl ' A report however,' prevailed,' which,' for tlie sake of just retaliation, it is to be hoped, is. i true. On the 22d of July, the Greek fleet entered the harbour of Ipsara, the troops landed and put 700 Turks to the sword who had been left- inj charge of the, place, at1 the same time carried off the cannon, anil captured I two brigs and a schooner. The report entitled to some credit, as ihe Turkish fleet was seen off Ipsara -on the 25th by Capi. Kin. ; 'It-was also reported, that on. the 25th, the Greeks had captured twenty-three Turkish. gun boats. I It is certain that hopes of subduing the Greeks hate given a great impulse and energy to the preparations of tlie Turks. -A'powerful army-had passed through Smyraa, consisting of 30,000 inen, destined,' it vas said, against Sa mos,'Wh"ich, if they succeed, will in its consequences f be a' repetition f : the bloody 6cenes acted at Ipsara andScio.5 There neverwas a ' period when the struggles of these brave and unfortu natepeople claimed the sympathies of every humane and civilized person more than at present;' ; 'fliey are aban dbned by " tlie Christian Sotereiffira of Russia , v. d, Au3triai whose shockjirg principles of legitimacy ! are encourage ment to every act, of barbarity and cru elty.4 If it is adeemed ! the interest of those prominent Members of the holy al liance to check the independence of ft cessary to prevent the massacre of so ma ny thousands ofinnocent personswhom the fate of war. throws into the bauds of these savages; The ferocity of the Turks,' " and 'their hatred to the Chris tians, are 1 proveroiai 5 mis, , 01 nseji, claims ' tfierptectiunof that confedera cy call ed the :holy al lian ce. , Ju t they are deaf to, the 4$lls of humanity.: 'and it is. religiously tobe jibped, that the Greeks may yet persevere, Jand may yet qe successful not only in estabhsh mjjr their own Independence, but in do ing what one day tyill yet be done break the lurkish isceptre.
