The Editor of the Evening Gazette is mis-
taken in the statement, that vein of Coal
has recently been discovered in the mine here
of a quality superior to that before obtained.
The bed of Coal has been worked to the
depth of 6 or feet, with but little variation,
except a gradual improvement ofth quality.
That which he has seen, and probably refer.
red to, as being of the superior quality, is be.
lieved to have been, certainly no better than
the average quality.

A CAUcUs,-considered according to its
primitive intention, merely as consultation
to ascertain the state of public feeling, and.
with powers only advisory, is not objected to.
1t is the perversion of by which it assumes
todictate and direct, instead of being direct
ed by public opinion, and the following of its
mandates by the denunciation and proscrp-
ton Of all who oppose them, and thereby en-
deaVouring, instead Of nomination, to make
an appointment, that has rendered it odious.
Such system concentrates, in the hands of a
few unauthorized individuals, the whole
power and influence of government. It's an
usurpation adverse to the spirit of Republi-
canism, and to the whole theory of our gov
eminent. The subject has become so we'll
understood, that any attempt of the kind. bv
members of the present Congress, will most
assuredly result in their discontinue. and
those who are concerned in it, will have a
mark of reproach affixed to them, by their
abused and indignant constituents.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT,

On the evening of the 18th ult. an explo-
sion took place on board the steam boat Har.
riet at Mobile, by which young man, named
Nc Mutt, was so severly hurt that he died in
about three hours. The Advertiser says, the
accident was caused by "non descript
steam property whose approach cannot be
ascertained or guarded against" That, "at
the moment of the explosion, the pressure
was considerably below the working measure
The matter we think, requires further ex-

ment, so far as relates to the degree of pres.

1t is really amusing, to see the various
arts. to which some of our politicians resort,
to shun that most undesirable situation. for
an office seeker to be placed ina minority.
So long assthe magic of Caucus nomination
prevailed, there was no difficulty. He, who
would support the Caucus, ''right or wrong,n
was in the grand high way to preferment.
Recent accounts from Washington, saw
that no caucus nomination will be made, for
the Presidency, or, if one is made, it will be
by less than 70, or about one quarter of the
whole number of Representatives and Sena-
tors. The National Intellisencer, which
has some fifteen or twenty thousand dollars per
annum at stake, on the result, takes the dis
appointment with an i'll grace. They think
such nomination is called for, to put an
end to the suspense, which now distracts the
people, in several Of the most important States
in the Union, and prsrents then, from, laying
Their course" They, moreover, wish for a
nomination, "for their own guidance" being
u determined to support it," whatever it may
be. The Eastern Argus, also, sturdily sup
ports the legitimacy, and infaliibilty of King
Caucus, and deprecates an opposition to it,
as one of the greatest of evils, by subjecting
them to the chance of being left in a minority.
The friends of John Quincy Adams in the
Legislatures Of Massachusetts and of Maine
also, at the very time when his prospects ap-
pear better than at any former period, have
been unable to divest themselves of the spell,
but, In making nomination of him, have a.
dopted saving clause, implying, that how
much soever they value their own opinions.
they value their chance for promotion still
more, and thereby, instead of a service. thew
have done him, in our estimation, an actual
injury.
This may be modern republicanism, but it
bears striking analogy to old fashioned des-
potism. The only difference is, that in the
one case, an individual rules, who is in some
degree responsible for his acts; in the other,
cabal OF intriguers govern, without the
check which individual responsibility impo-
| ses.
The Royalists Of Spain never shouted for
the Absolute King, with more servility, than
do our caucustes, and we consider it as much
contest, in this country, between arbitrary
and lawless usurpation, against the people, as
was the late war in Spain. That the result.
may be different, is most devoutly TO be wish.

LEGAL DEcIsroN.--At the late Circuit Court
held at Huntsville, Alabama, the Hon. Chief
Justice Clay presiding, it has been decided
that on note payable in specific bank bills
OF deprecated currency, the plaintiff can only
recover the value ofthose bills in specie, at
the time the note was due upon the same
principle, as note for given quantity of cot
ton when the plf. can only recover the value
1.-THE cotton, at the time it was deliverable. Pur-
suing this same principle, we are also informed
that the same Judge has decided, that on a
note payable in United States Bank Notes.
which are above par, the plaintiff shall recov-
er in specie, the premium thus recognizing a
higher circulating medium than gold and sill.
yer coin. 1t has also further been decided.
that on note payable in negotiable notes,
the plaintiff shall only recover the estimated
value OF such notes in the market.

which it must give to this place; an impor-
lance which will have a salutary effect on
the whole Country about us. Notwithstand-
ing the entire want of suitable stoves for burn
ing it, several have adopted it, with success
and we believe that, by another winter, it
will furnish no inconsiderabIe portion of the
fuel consumed in town. 1t can be delivered
in Boston at such price as will make it
cheaper than any other Coal in the market.
1t has already been used there, and we are in
formed has given good satisfaction.
While on this subject, we would suggest,
for the consideration of such as feel an inter-
est in it, the propriety ofmaking arrangements
for farther research into our mineral resour-
ces, in the spring. 1t is we'll known that iron
is found here in various places, and it is con-
fidently believed, that, by examination, it may
be obtained in great quantities. If it should be,
that, and our coal for working it, together
with our local situation, would give us advan-
tages, unrivalled by any place in the Union.
The furnaces in this vicinity, we believe,
might find ready sale for stoves, on the con-
struction ofthose, used for burning the Lee
high and Schuylkill Coal.
