THE ELECTION.

No doubt exists TO the success Of the Craw-
ford ticket in Virginia. Rejecting men, who have
coolly examined the chances of the contest, have
never doubted the final result. Ne have never sup
posed il possible that any ticket could prevail
against that recommended by she General Assembly
oi Virginia. 1t was with no serious expectation al
success, that we have invariably advoct ted the for
nation of an opposition ticket. We were induced
to do merely to extend the latitude of selection
to give every citizen the opportunity of expressing
preference-to designate by this means, the second
choice of the state-and by organizing opposi-
ton, to prove that there many, not disposed
submisslvcly to acquesce in the dictation of
Gus These purposes have been all accomplished
every man has irad the chance of voting for The
ddae he preferred public opinion has had fair
opportunity of expressing itself-and we confident
ly believe that The caucus system. has received a
blow from which il can never recover. IF there
FORE we have failed in the first object, the election
of an Adams ticket, we have succeeded in purposes
more consequential, but likewise more important.
The election has been very thin one. But few
Counties have put forth any thing like their whole
strength. The great body ri the people are indif-
fcrent tn the electon-heated partizans, and those
whom they could controul, have alone decided the
controversy.
We feel disposed TO cOngrat ulate the public tina
the contest in this State is overland we feel equal
~ well disposed acquiesce in the will of the peo-
pie, he it what it may. Had any antpnthies
to Mr.. Crawford, our modification at his triumph
i'll Virginia, would be than eounteTacted by
tho conviction which feel that his ultima te
election To the Presidency is impossible. But we
have none. If we have expressed ourselves at any
time with asperty it has been caused more by dis
appreciation of the measures which his friends have
employed TO elect him, than of himself We prefer
another, without desiring to disparage him and
whilst still like that other best, we do not the
less admire him. We wish him sincerely better
health, aud continual employment in the councils
of his country.

The closcuess cf The vote for Electors in this city
has chagrined the friends of NJ. Crawford. The
city Of Westminster unier the Immediate eve Of the
Court, always returned opposition members-and
the city OF Richmond, the seat of the Caucus, and
of its most active, influential aud thorough going
leaders, has manifested q resistance which, under
happier auspices, would have in all likelihood
proved successful. In addition to the weighf which
the Assembly ticket r'ust always carry with it, from
its official origins and the active zeal which it ale
ways eulists on ITS side, among the holders Of and
asprants to office, other causes contributed their
evil influence t" diminish the vote for MIR. Adams
and swell that for Mr. Crawford. The FIRST of these
was the comparative unpnpuIarity ofthe Elcctor for
this distfic-and the second, the absence of con-
siderable number If Mr.. Adams friends The want
of early concert and understanding, was severely
felt in Richmond, as in other places. With the
same means ofsecuriug these, that the caucusitos
possessed and employed, the result of the electoral
election, would have probably, been very different.
MIR. Crawford's majority IN Richmond, notwiih-
standing these unpropitions circumstances, was
owing TO the course pursued by the friends of Mr.
Clay. These gentlemen have oeeu always mott

WASHINGTON, November Q.
The corvette John Adams, Captain DALLAS,
with Com. PeRrER on board, sailed from the
Delaware on Thursday last, for the West-ln-

The frigate Constitution, and the Sea Gull,
sailed from New-York ON Friday, cruise.
Choctno Deputttion.-A deputation Of Choc-
Jaws, nine in number, arrived in this city q
few days past, on business with the Govern
| ncnt.
On their way, and when at Maysv lille, in Ken
lucky, P,c&-shee -nubbee, principal Chief, and
aged about 81 years, stepped from precipice,
in fog which hid the chasm from his view, and
fractured his skull, which killed him.
Ii is gratifying To witness, i'm these deputatons
of latter times, young men of education and vir-
tue, with talents 10 conduct the business o. their
nation, AMI manners suited in all respects to the
polished improvements of their white brothers.
There are two of tins description attached to
this deputation: Col. Folsom. well known as
the friend of the school system among his peo-
pie cad for the distinguished excellcucc of his
character, and James l.. .u'Dnnnld, who was
educated in this District, chiefly by the Rev. MIR.
Carualian, now President oil Prmcetown Col
lego, al his classical school IN Georgetown; and
subsequently read law, in Ohio, with the pre-
sent Postmaster General, where lac admitted
to its practice. Mr. NpDonald being on WIS.,
it TO his mother, after many years separation,
was included by the Council OF tue nation, in
the dcpu,ation.
We cannot but wish these people well-They
have many claims upon our justice and humanity:
and now that we see them emerging from the
ignorance of ban barism, and even adveut.irlng
upon our learned professions, every encourage
ment ought 10 be held out, and every induce
ment offered, 10 animate and prosper their eff
forts.
The school system under the special patron
age ofthr government is producing the appiest
results, and ii it be well supported, and its ener-
gies kept IN vigor by such guards as experience
may demonstrate to be essential, generation
may not pass away before our nation may be hon
owred in having rescued from the eheerfess con-
dition of the savage, hundreds of thousands OF
fellow beings whose claims even upon the hui
manity of so many ages have been resisted and
Themselves made the victims of every outrage
VIII ch the keeuest avarice has the ingenuity to
invent.
Our national character is deeply interested in
the issne of the present efforts to civiIize and
christIanize these peopc;-but when to this is
superadded the claims which arise out of their
abIcct condition, as a peopte, the duty becomes
Imperative, and the call becomes loud upon us

We understand that the Adams ticket has
prevailed IN the Borough of Norfolk, and in the
counties OF Norfolk, Elizabeth City, Princess
Aunc, and Nansenond The Pre,lurckshuro,
Herald OF yesterday states that the Crawford
ticket had succeeded by large majorities in Ca
roIne, Stafford and Spottsylvania. In the coun,y
OF Fairfax, the vote was for Crawford, 76--fir
Jackson, 27. From Petersburg the accounts
are contradictor,-one stating that the Adams.
another that the Crawford, a third that the Jack
son ticket had prevailed. These partial sue
cesses will not change the result. I'VE have no
hope but that the Crawford ticket is elected.

Ghe Arts AUD $cteMCeS,
From a London paper.1

The following case may be useful in
the cause of humanity, and, as such, will
most likely be readily admitted into your
paper;-
Thirty years ago, lady had the mis-
fortune TO be afflicted with an ague,
which baffled the attempts of the test
medical assistance of her neighhourhood
for more than two years, when a stran-
ger, accidentally coming to the house,
spoke with great confidence of very
simple remedy, namely, two teaspoons
full of the bes' -four Of birthstone, taken
in 81 ! Of port wine, whenever the fiji
comes pm, the patient going to bed i'm
mediately, and wrapped up in blankets.
This the lady was induced to try, as the
remedy was innocent in lis nature, and
no possible evil could result. The ef-
feet was most profuse perspiration,
and the suppression of the fit for that
time; two days afterwards it came on a.
gain, aud he remedy not being resort
ed TO, the fit had It's usual course; again
in two cher days on the symptoms APP
pearlng, the mixture was taken, and it
not only gave immediate relief, but en-
tireIy removed the complaint.
The lady has, in numerous cases, re-
commended the same remedy, and has
not, i'll the experience of thirty years,
known a single failure. Tie first appli-
cation generally effects the cure, and
few instances have occurred that re-
