| What companion could there be between

Improvement of agriculture? a Jingle focetv
for the promotion of this great national policy
would render more ellential iervice than all the

The following extract from letter written by
Mr.. Richard Raudon of Conc ord, North Gro
! lima" is intereDipg.
"In the widow Parker's mine thew have picked
IN pint of gold within three or four weeks
iaw the greateft part of it myfelf. one piece
weighing nearly two ounces and a half perfectly
clear Of fand and dirt. Mrs. Parker will men
tion no price AT which her land may be purchaf-
ed. From Parller's travelled towards Mr.
Reads mine, attentively obferving every branch.
i hey every one appeared to contain Gold, and
in nv opinionfom 0fthem Qualeitherto Reeds
or Parker's. Mr.. Gray in this route, inform
ed me, that in an evening thortly before, he took
MS m7ttock and pan, went to branch, and in
a little time found to the smount of feveral
pennyweights. The tract of country I was in
formed belonged to the efate of the late Col.

Now, to the North Carolina Gold Mine Com

The late Election in the City of New-York,

Gabriel Furman 3272 F. Cooper 1891
The highet vote on the Lewilite ticket was
only 1913.
And thus are the republican people OF New.
York 70 be tigmatied as the mere partizans of
particular families or perGons. All eiftinStions
from principle are to be abolilhed, and the
only titles with which they are honoured in
the city of New-York are thofe of Ciintonians
and Lewihtes LVingfonians Had the
queaian been, who hould he the governor
of New York, a Clinton or a Lewis, there would
have been fpme convenience, at leaf, in diGtin.
guiihing the voters by the candidates whom
they had fu ported. This was not however the
election Of governor, but of representative.
to Congrefs and the fate Legislature. And
what connection had this quehion with the
friends of Clinton or Of L-wis; or with the RI
val families of Lancafer and York !?
