The following is a 'correct list of the representation of this State in the next Congress. On comparison we find that only ; four changes have occurred, viz. Thomas II.

Mr. Clay, in his speech at the Lexington dinner, stated that he w.-ts informed, that, when his no mination to the office of Secretary of State was acted upon in the Senate, "Gen. Jackson and every other Senator was silent as to the imputation fof corruption! now made, no one presuming to ques tion rnv honor or integrity' This. we assert, is not the fact; for we have understood, from a source that can be relied upon, that so far from his nomination being si lently acquiesced in, Mr. Branch, one of the Senators of this State, openly opposed it on ihe tloor of tue Senate; and that the friends of the Administration, rather than in cur the danger of an investigation ot the circumstances, upon which the charge of corruption was foun ded, suffered his remarks to pass unanswered. We think it a duty, which Mr. B. owes to himself, to the friends of (Jim. Jackson in the Senate, and to the public at large, to lay his speech before the peo ple. It will then be manifest that either Mr. Clay or his informant has attempted to deceive the pub lic. That Mr. Clay should have been misinformed relative to a circumstance, which was of such vital interest to himself and which occurred in the presence of many of his friends, is highly improba ble. But we hope "that Gov. Branch will place the matter be yond doubt, by laving his remarks before the public. This is a course to which he cannot reason ably object; as the injunction of secrecy has long since been re moved from the transaction, and Gold. Mr. Jonathan Anthony, living nine miles south of this town, (says the Greensborough Patriot,) shewed us some gold, yesterday, found on his farm; some of the pieces would weigh one pennyweight and was very pure. Mr. Anthony informs us that he has dug very little, and that he finds the precious metal within two feet of the surface ol the earth. Frice Current. AUG. 24. per Peters'g. JY. York.

AT a meeting of the Roanoke Union Society of Ihe Methodist Episcopal Church, held at Whitaker's Chapel on the first Thursday of March last, it was Resolved, That a Convention of Dele gates should meet at Bradford's Meeting-house in Halifax county, on the se cond Monday in September next, for the purpose of electing two or more re presentatives to attend a General Con vention to be held in Baltimore in No vember next. This is to give notice that the said Convention expects and in tends to meet on said day, and on Sat urday and Sunday prcyious, there will be public preaching, &c. at said meeting house. Let those who are friendly to a Representative Church Government think on those things, and throw in their mite to bring about such a state of ings in our Church before it be too late; when the spirit of Popery may get such hold on our Clergy, that it wilf bo llard to remove. RXUM LEWIS. J'res't R. U.S.M.E.C. August, 1S27. 2-2 Scenes in a City. The New York Evening Post of the 17th ult. says: "we understand that iuenly-ninc men, women and children, were yesterday taken from one cellar in James-street, by 31 r. Sch u rem an, visitor of the Alms-house, in a state of extreme wretchedness. The corpse of a child that had been dead since Tuesday last, was also found in the same tenement, and the whole presented a spectacle of filth dis gusting beyond expression." DIED, In this county on Monday last, aged 37 years, Mr. Wm. Parker, leaving a wife and two children to mourn their ir reparable loss. At her residence in Murfreesborough, N. C. on the 1 1 th ult. Mrs. Margaret fVynns, consort of Mr. Bcnj. Wynns. Her remains were conveved to the ad joining county of Gates, and deposited in the ancient lamily ground. Mrs. IVynns has left a husband, two chil dren, a numerous family connexion and personal acquaintance to mourn her loss. In noticing her decease, it is but iust to state, that she was a valuable member of society, possessed amiable manners, a mind highly cultivated and well stored with useful information, but above all. deeply imbued with the spirit of piety. She was in communion with the Pres byterian Church at Murfrccsboroujrh, and uniformly maintained a consistency ot character becoming a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Her illness was pro tracted and painful, yet a murmur was never heard to escape her. Iu the depth of her bodily suffering, her mind was cairn and serene. She slaved herself up on her God and Saviour. She followed Him in the regeneration, and is now gone to be put in possession of that hap piness which is pure in its nature and endless in its duration. "Blessed are the dead, tvhich die in the Lord front henceforth: yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do folloio thm.'" Com. Notice.

A LL persons are hereby cautioned against trading for A Note which Exum Lewis holds against me, for two hundred and ninety -six dollars seventy nine cents, bearing interest from 1st Jan uary, 1S33, cs the said note is unlawful, having been made payable to the said Ex. Lewis as guardian to Willis Pow ell's orphans, when I did not at that time owe him one cent as guardian, nor do I now oive him as guardian to any orphan whatever. I hive claims against the said Exum Lewis to a larger amount than the note above named. L. B. K. DICKEN. Aug. 2T), 1827. 2-3 Notice N Thursday, the 17th inst. an affray took place in Iredell county, be tween Thomas Harvey and Isaac IV. Lawrence, during which Harvey in flicted a wound on Lawrence which soon caused his death. Several persons were present, but Harvey was suffered to es cape. He is upwards of 40 years of age, ( icet high, slender made, black hair, dark eyes, is given to intoxication, when drinking is talkative and quarrelsome; but when sober, his appearance is decent and gentlemanly: can neither read nor write; had on a blue cloth coat, much worn and patched; white vest, panta loons and hat; has a scar, made by a knife, leading back from one eye to wards his ear. The good people of this, and any of the adjoining States, would do well to apprehend the said Thomas Harvey, that lie may be bro't to justice. P. CALDWELL. Sh ft of Iredell Jniv 23. 3 827, patent COTTON PRESS. HPHE Subscriber informs his friends and the public in general, that he has invented a new and useful Machine for Fetching Cotton IN SQUARE BALES, By the power of a lever acting on a fulcum, which drives the follower that presses the Cotton into the bale. The power of this Machine is such, that from 300 to 350 lbs. of Cotton can be pressed into two breadths of 42 inch Bagging, 4 feet G inches long, with con siderable case and in a very short time: and 500 lbs. can be pressed into less than 5 yards of the same kind of bag ging, by observing the proper process. The superior advantages are clearly ma nifest, for in addition to the small quan tity of bagging required, which certain ly is an object, two hands can with ease pack from 10 to 12 bales in one day. The simplicity of this machine, and its superior power, are greatly admired by mechanical artists, and in fact, by all who have seen it. By a mechanical de monstration, it is proven that the power of the Lever and its concomitants are equal if not superior to any, even to the Wedge, if properly applied. From .the high and frequent encomiums which have been past on the invention, the Subscriber is induced to offer it to the public as something worthy of their no tice. Any person that may want, can apply to the Subscriber at Halifax, N. C. Patent letters having been obtained from the proper authorities, all persons are prohibited from making or using the same, without legal right. All infringe ments will meet with the rigor of the law, made and provided in such cases. An' mechanic wishing to be benefitted by the invention, may by paying a mo derate sum, secure individual District or State rights; the same arc offered to farmers and all others. It is hoped that the certificates annexed, relative to the performance of the press, will be satis fnctory, without enumerating others. LEWIS LmSSARD. SOUTH-CAROLINA, ) City of Columbia. S I do certify that the Rev. Lewis Lays sard has erected a Cotton Press, agreea ble to his Patent at my plantation, fif teen miles above Columbia, and that it has been put in operation as far as pack ing two bales, and from the report of my overseer, it will pack 100 lbs. of Cot ton into a yard of Bagging; that it has been examined by Mr. James Boat wright and Mr. Nathans, two experien ced mechanics, who think highly of the mode of packing Cotton. SAMUEL GREEN, P. M. Columbia, S. C. April C, 1827. SOUTH CAROLINA, l Lancaster District. 5 I do hereby certify that Lewis. Lays sard, of Halifax county, North-Carolina, has built for me a new invented Cotton Press, the performance of which Press on a lair trial so far surpasses my expec tations, and also that of any invention I have ever seen or heard of, in ihe act of nice performance of packing Cotton, that I feel it my duty to recommend to the public for their advantage, the above de scribed presses. Witness my hand, the 22d June, 1S27. - A. COIEL. (CPThe pnblic are informed that the Subscriber has constituted Mr. F. S. Marshall, of the town of Halifax, N. C. his agent for the the spates of Virginia and North-Carolina and Mr. John Workman, of Camden, S. C. his agent for the districts of Lancaster, Fairfield, Darlington, Chester, Chesterfield and York, in South-Carolina, from whom Rights may be obtained. LEWIS LAYS SARD. Extract from an advertisement of Mr. Workman. "lie deems it unnecessary for him to bestow any encomiums upon this im provement in the art of compressing Cotton. Suffice it to say, that the ease and cheapness with which it can be erected, and the small force required to work it, are sufficient to recommend it; saying nothing of its superior power and duribilltvv"
