ballot of the two houses at the close
OF the late session would have produced
result not varying two votes from the
foregoing statement. A familiar inter.
course with the members OF the legisla-
ture during the two late sessions, enables
me to speak adyisedly in relation to their
presidential sentiments. The fall meet
ing wiIl.vindicatc the accuracy of this
statement.
The assertion Of Mr.. Noah, that the
:" Clay men will so for Crawford," is
entirely gratuitous. The friends Of Mr..
Clay are not to be disposed of without
their own knowledge or consent. With
two or three exceptions they will no, 90
for Crawford, nor will the votes of the
state be given to the Treasury candi-
date. w.

and several other buildings, were hand
somely illuminated. The theatres, pub
lie gardens, &c. displayed Transparent
cies, fireworks and rockets in honor of
the occasion, and the evening passed off
with great hiarity. We did not hear Of
a single accident to mar the pleasures Of
the day.
The day was remarkably fine for the
occasion. and the display Of the troops
was unusually brilliant.
The General may perhaps be re-
ceived with more splendor and formali-
ty il some other OF our cities, but in
none will he meet with more cordial
and ahectionate reception.
The General, we are happy to state,
is in fine health, and appears much
younger than was expected.
The Portrait Room in the City Hall is
appropriated TO the use of the General,
where, during his stay, he will between
the hours of IL and O'clock, receive
the visits OF such Of the citizens as are
DESTROYS OF psyng their respects to him.
.Netv mode Of Dueiting The late DR..
B. Of Philadelphia was challenged 10
fight duel, upon certain occasion, by
choleric gentleman, to whom he had
given offence. Without being discon-
certed in the least at the circum stance,
he informed the gentleman that he would
give him honorable satisfaction. His an
tagonst having arrived at his house, &C.
cording to appointment, found him en-
gagged in writing his will and upon his
being questioned by the challenger, at
what place and with what weapons they
were to fight, he very coolly replied, 'Sir,
II you will please 10 open that door,
pointing to ono that opened out sf,he
chamber into akind of closet, you will
see both the place of combat and the
weapons Of death; they are as nearly
matched as possible, assure you, sir y
The gentleman opened the door accor-
dinghy, and saw, TO his great surprise, in
the closet, round table of middlng
size, with two very large eimble,s lying
upon it.
what is tho meaning Of all this, sir y
asked the astonished challenger. 'The
meaning OF what you see, sir,' replied
Mr.. B. with much delbera,ion, is this,
as you have challenged me to figh, you,
| have right, by the laws of chivalry,
to the choice Of weapons. have never
practised with pistols as you have. and
therefore | should not be upon an equali-
| ~ with you at that weapon. Neither
have been taught fencing therefnre ''e
sword is out OF the question. But, sir,
can bore with gimbei, and can endure
pain as well as you; ! am determined,
therefore, to stand foot TO foet with you
upon that table, to bore your breast, and
you may mine if you please, and
bore each into the Others lungs, til! one
or both shall drop upon the spot The
determined air with which B. delivered
this bloody speech, entirely disconnected
his adversary, who made precipi'ate
retreat from such daring and singular
foe.
Perhaps if Mr.. BIS mode of duelling
were to be established, as the only me-
thod of deciding deadly feuds, we should
find duels much rsrer than they are at
present amongst our gentlemen Of fire
and honor.

VIRGINIA..

The Norfolk Beacon OF the 9Th inst.
says: We learn from Richmond that
there was on Friday evening, very re-
spectabls meeting at The capitol, assem-
oled exclusively Tor the purpose of pro-
moting Mr.. Adams election TO the Pre-
sidency. John H. peasants, esq. (son
Of the Governor OF Virginia, and editor
OF the Whig,) addressed the meeting, it
rs SAID, Ill a style Of simple, unaffected
cioquence. which powerfully appealed
to their candor and justice in behalf of
the long tried patriotism, zeal and public
services of the distinguished citizen
whom he advocated. Nor did he spare,
il seems, the vaccinations Of the mino-
ri,y caucus in Congress, and their coad-
has seemed, abroad, to be unanimous in
favor OF candidate, who wi,hou, the aid
OF caucus management, could not have
hoped for majority in his favor. We
are fully persuaded that the representa-
ton is correct, and that the people are
fast opening their eyes to the fact Of their
having been unfairly warped from the
course that public sentiment and feeling
would naturally have taken. We have
not the slightest wish TO deprecia,e Mr..
Crawford; but we think it impossible
Tor any candid, impartial, and enlighten-
ed mind to be insensible to the superior
claims Of John Quincy ADAMS based
as they are on unsullied patriotism, un-
equalled experience in our public bust
ness at home and abroad, and on de-
gree Of diplomatic ability unqoes,ionabiy
without . parallel in the United States.
