. tAirATETTE.7-We are gratified :n
stating, that a letter ha'been receiv
ed by the Governor, from Gen. .Robert
IL Johnson (whojvas selected to bear
the invitation to Gen. Lafayette) which
contains the agreeable information, that
the "nations guest" accepts the invita
tion to visit Raleigh, and will probably
be here about, the ; 20th - December.
This letter merely states the factr-par-iiculars
wiil. hereafter be given. ' -We
are pleased at the period, which
faed for this great and good man's
visit, as it will give the Legislature, then
in session, an opportunity of seeing him.

Election ".ofPresident. In the
course pfthe 'presnt.and succeeding
montliyv-all the Electors will be chosen
throughout the, tJnited States. As we
have hadrequcnt enquiries as to the
time aruTinahncr of voting for Electors
of President and Vice-President, we
rive the .following information from a
,v -r : , .
V,rbelief, that it vill prove acceptable-
According to an act of Congress, the
Electors must be'ehosen within, thirty
it four days preceding the first Wedries-
i" dav in December, theTnumber of wliich
xnuat correspond to the number of ISe
xiators and Representatives, which each
State is entitled to in Congress. " The
c,
Srsf Wcduestlay of December this year,
is the first dav of the montli, so that
between the 28th of this month and the
oOth of the next, all the Electors must
be appointed and on the first day of
December, the Electoral Collets must
discharge, their important'trust. Whe
ther chosen by the Legislatures, by
General Ticket or bv Districts, the
Electors meet in their respective states
:nd vote for President and Viee-Presi
dent, separately, a certificate of the
result of which fehall be. forwarded by
mail to Washington, directed to the
President of the Senate and one' by a
special messenger. On the second
Wcdnesdav, the certificates must be
opened by the President of the Senate,
in the presence of the members of the
Senate and House of Representatives
and the votes counted. i
- If no person receive a majority of
the whole number of the Electoral votes,'
then from. the persons having the high
est number of votes, not exceed ingAree,1
in the list of those voted for as Presij

The Electors are chosen, in N.

Thursday the 11th November, under
the same rules and regulations that go-
vern elections for members of Assembly.
All persons-authorized to vote for mem-
bers 01 tne House 01 uommons, are en
titled to vote for Electors. ,
i We have not learned that the friends
of Mr. Crawford have yet fixed upon
any person to supply the place of Mr.
Gallatin for the Vice-Presidency, tho'
it is probable they willtlo so before the
election of Electors takes place. If
not, it will be left to the Electors
themselves to unite - in the election of
such person to that office as they may
asree upon, we nave seen the names
WW . t
V
of Mr. Clay and Mr. Cheve& mention
ed, with either of whom we have no
doubt the friends of Mr. Crawford in
this stale would be well satisfied
though, we believe, that it would please
them better to see our own venerable
Senator Mr. Macon, elected to that
office, and we know no man who would
more ably fill it. This state will, how
ever, we are connueni, unite wun ner
nil : . i t .
sister states, in electing any individual
to tlie Vice-Presidency who may . be
hodght best calculated to perform the
duties of the oiace.
As the Presidential Election draws
-.1
near, we' are Dleased to see that the
people in every part of the country be
T i I
come more serwusly impressed ivith its
importance, and withconsidering well
the characters and qualifications of the
several candidates forv.the ofilce lx;fore
they give their vote on the occason.
We have received accounts from difife-
rent parts of this State, intimating, a
considerable change of opinion on this
subject. Many who had been carried
along by the ppular fervor in favor of
the Military Chief (though they still
feel as graceful to him as ever for his
lieroic valour) have become satisfiedJ
that it would be placing the happiness
of the Country at too great a risk to
elect a man of Gen. Jackson's temper
and habits, (even if he were better qua
lified than he is) to the Presidential
Chair. And as neither Mr. Adamsor
Mr. Clay have any chance of obtaining
a majority of the votes of this State,
many .of those who have hitherto favor
ed the election of the General, will u
nite witlthe friends of Mr. Crawford,
who is allowed on all hands to be well
qualified to fill the office with propri
ety and dignity, being not less distin
guished for his gentlemanly moderation
and firmness, than he is for his Repub
lican plainness and economy. -
Extract of a letter from JhipUri County to the
Editors of the Register.
"It gives me pleasure to state, that Mr.
Crawford is gaining' ground 'fast in this coun-
ty. If the election naa taRen place in Au
gust he would not have received two-fifths of:
ibe votes ; now he will get a majority, and ;
he is still gaining."
A writer in the last Star, who signs
himself a "Citizen of Orange," but
who is no doubt a citizen of Raleigh,
says that if Jesse Benton was as welL
known throughout the United States as
he is id Orange' county, his vile slan
ders would render, Gen.' Jackson a ser
vice instead of an injury. : This Com
munication was intended to. convey the
idea, thatMr. penton's character, whilst
living in this State was notoriously bail.
and that his emigration perhaps was the
effect 6f his crimes. Now it is an as
certained fact, that Jesse Benton moved
from Orange county, when. qui tea boy,
say 12 years of age, andoof course, at
that time, xould not have acquired any
character to lose. r - J
-We would here observe,1 that the last
Star asserts what the Editors know must
be untrue, viz. that Benton's Pamphlet
was sent, to this State for ! publication,
because had if been issued at home,
where the parties concerned are known,
its falsehoods would have been imme-
diatel' exposed. The Star knows that
the pamphlet was printed where it pur
ports to be, " at Nashville, Tenn. by
Joseph Noryell," and from thepce was
circulated throughout the U. States.?
We received a copy, and believing it
contained facts which would subserve
1 1
he cause we have espoused, we repub-
hsheu extracts from it: !
Signs of times in South-Carolina.
In the, Congressional District composed
of York, Spartanburg, Union and Ches
ter, three candidates offered, and were.
required by the people, previous to the
Election, to1 declare whom they would
support for the Presidency. Col. Jos.
Gist declared in favor jf Mr. Crawford :
F. W. Davie, in favor of Gea. Jack-
son, and J. M'Creary in favor of Mr.
Adams. The result is, that Col. Gist
is elected by a large majority. In York
district, a number of candidates offer
ed for seats in the Legislature. Among
them was Judge Smith. -late Senator in
the Congress of the United States, who
openly, and in the most public manner
said he would support; Mr. Crawford ;

In Connecticut a complete anti-Adams
ticket has een formed, and an aniraa-
ted Address issued to the reopie in
favor of Mr. Crawford. It concludes
thus i . I :
We have thus, Fellow-Citizens, laid before
you some of the leading considerations, which
have influenced our conduct you will judge
ho.v far they are substantial j they- are satis
factory to us, and we think on a dispassionate
view of the subject, they will be so to many
of you. We lament the circumstances which
have produced this state of things ; but there
was no alternative left us; .but to surrender
our Independence, our principles, or to resist
measures unjust in themselves, opposed, to
Kepublican usages, ana tne ooject 01 wmcn
was to elevate to liie head of this, nation, a
man, whose success, we believe would tiros-
trate the Republican partv.
We feel that our cause is just, that it is
the cause of Republicanism, the cause of our
Country, and we have reason to bqlieve it will
be successful.
A noble spirit pervades the State, and is
spreading with rapidity, which affords the
strongest assurance of success : but whatever
may be the result, we shall have the satisfac
tion of having done 0114' duty."

Corresponding Committee.- The mo
tives which have actuated this distin
guished citizen to take this step are in
the hishest. deirree disinterested and

any particular person to the Vice Pre
sidency. - No' embarrassment can aiise
from this circumstance to the friends of
