FOR 7HE WATCHMAN.
THE. ELECTION.

The contest is over, the day is ours; area dy the
excitement natural ON those occasions has abated
and would in short time cease altogether, but for
the shameful conduct of those hunters after Office,
who are rot only pest but curse upon society.
Understand mel would not insinuae that officers
are curse, for we must have them but to have
them as we are likely to do with their designations
in favor oil each other is than people jealous
iof their rights and liberties ought to submit to-.
Indignation general and determined should be rous-
led against the system pregnant as 1t IS with evils
Already the spirit OF resignation is pervading their
ranks, and the ostensbe object is TO cheat the go
vernon elect out oil his prerogative.- previous
TO the election application had been made to gover-
nor Rodney, which appointment has since taken
place. Office hunters from New Castle passed
down but day or two after the election, on the
same business no doubt; expectation is on the tip
toe to see the Dover compand porting down 10 the
rIgoyernor to sell and buy out and make exchanges
which will place it of the power OF the governor
lelect to fill those stations which would otherwise
'lexpire during his administraon.-lt is generally
believed that governor Rodney will not tolerate
such conduct If he does the saying long since
Iapplied holds good" That straws shew how the
wind blows"--and it is considered no crime to de-
fraud col. Haslett of those appointments which
would expire during the succeeding three years
.lf each officer should continue his time fairly out
,but suddenly their situations have become irksome
and Improbable, and they are willing to exchange
Tor give them to the highest bidder who they would
twllngly make the public believe are greater fools
nthan themselves, and that they are not worth hold
\ ing.-Nothing, MIR. Editor, but conviction on the
part of those Office holders that Judge Booth woulc
e be elected induced them to support him, but wo
unto their expectations, they have been disappoint

d those gentlemen find more claims in Lewistown a
o this period, than when commodore beresiord bonn
lbarded and the brave col. Haslet promptly defend

had much rather be present at forty jury trials thar
; one such as that was.-Upon this subject | shal
say but little, the occasion does not require it, w

WESTERN PRI.vII.vG- PRESS.

We beg leave to present to the notice of brethren
Of the type, in the western country, the newly Invented
Printing Press Of Mr.. CHARLES ARTZT. This uge-
Nous piece of mechanism, in successful operation
at the office of Echbaum Johnston in this CITY, 1t is on
the principle of the yer, and is, what is termed single
pull press
Having carefully examined its construction and opera
ton, enabled give the following description OF its
characteristic features and distinguishing properties
l. 1t ispowerful-because the mann lever is of such
nature increase in power, to unlimited degree,
lit proceeds in movement. Experiment has shown the
power to full conviction by the breaking OF very strong
and sound bar of cast iron, without extraordinary pulling
2. 1t is smple-because there but one main lever,
which at one end by intermediate beam upon the
bi and the other end is connected by rod, with the
main axis, from which all the movements proceed
8. 1t is speedy-because there is but pull, and that
pull is by the convenient position OF the bar, render
ed easy, that token may be worked, without unusual
effort in about onefourth Of the time less than on
mon press.
4. One great advantage which this press has
of the other single pull presses that it less comp

S. 1t admits of perfect and easy adjustment of the
plain the Stones by of agobe jota which the
centre of the patin is suspended to the sliding bar.
g. 1t admits Of equally easy regulation of the pull,
which is heightened shortened by simple contrance
in the connecting rod between the main lever aid the
main axis.
z. The bar having upright position, and penduar
notion Affords Gas has been mentioned already mere
to the workman in pulling, than any press known tou
Lastly the udcious combination of cast and wrought
iron and wood, by rendering this press equal in sodty
and strength with those whchare composed entirely from
metal adds for transportation to cheapness in
first cost 1t will furnished from hundred and eighty
to two hundred and ten dollars according the size requi
ed whereas The price of other lever presses from three
to five hundred dollars
We feel therefore hesitation in pronouncing this
press Of Mr. Artzs in no point of comparison inferior TO
those of Cmer and others Of which have any knowl
edge but rather in points evidently superior to themi
and while thus sincerely congratulate the fraternity,
upon this accession the OF advancing the excel
lency of our art we the time recommend the
Western Leu Printing Press 10 their notice, deser
wing object of patronage.

Cerrlsh, Mr.. Simms, navy agent w. H. Flournoy
Esq.
A letter from gentleman in Pensacola, to his
friend in Columbia; S C. dated the 18th ut. says
THE yellow fever, which has been raging here
with unusual violence, has nearly depopulaed the
city. Not fifty Americans now remain in the place.
Those that could fly, have gone--the rest are num-
bered with the dead many OF the Spaniards have
shared the same fate. None that have been taken
have as yet recovered. 1t usually carries them off
the filth Representatives sooner; and appears to
be more malignant than any disease that has here
toiore made its appearance in Louisiana it must
stop soon, for want OF victims. There is not, at
this present time, sufficient number to bury the
dead and make the coffns--some having been buried
without. The manner of treatment by the phys-
clans is bleeding, giving salts of epsom hot baths,
and sometimes blistering the head"

Effects Of the Late Storm in North Carolina.
At EAVETTEVIII


Several houses were unroofed, and others PARTIAL,
damaged; large portion OF fence and railing over
turned, and many of our beautiful shade and orna
mental trees entirely prostrated.-The roads from
this place, especially to the southwark, are com
pletey encountered with fallen trees, and in some
instances to such extent, that travelling with car
riages is rendered mpractcabie.
AT HILLSBOROUGH.
One or two buildings were unrouted, the tops o
several chmnes were blown down, and the streets
were literally filled with PROSTATE trees So violent
storm has not before happened within the knowl-
edge Of the oldest inhabtant. II was scene truly
awful, to behold trees which had braved the chang
ing seasons for half century, bowling before the
mighty blast. The destruction TO the orchards and
timber in the neighbcrhood has been excessively
great in one orchard 10 particular, OF large trees
not one remains standing; in others, only few
Young trees have escaped the fury OF the Storm
Amid this destruction of property, we have not yet
heard of any lives being lost.
AT MILTON.
There were several frames of houses laid pros
trate, chimneys and the gable ends of brick tene-
nents hurled to the earth, trees torn from their
foundations, and, in fine, the elements seemed ST.
pregnant with the angry storm, as to threaten de-
structon to the most stable and firm habitatons.-
No lives were lost.
