Governor downto the humblestsquatter.
The expectation is that the votes for a
convention will be nearly equal; but
that there will be majority against
the measure. This subject has been
agitated for two years, during which
considerable number the people of IL
linois have been kept in state Of un-
certainty whether they should continue
inhabitants of it. II is affirmed that
hundreds of the most valuable citizens
have pledged themselves to leave their
comfortable homes and seek new resi-
dences az distance, should the Conven-
tionists or SlaUites succeed. The I'd of
this month, August, was the Gay on
which the important point was to be de-
cided. The antI-conventionists had &c
termined, should the Constitution be al
tered so as TO allow the introduction of
negro slavery (Which is the object OF
The conVentionists) to carry the ques-
lion before the Supreme Court at W ash
ington.-Nat. Gag.

,NEWYORK

At the late meeting Of the Legislature OF
this State, it was ascertained that the mem.
bers were divided on the presidential question
as follows, viz. Adams rs, Crawford 81, Clay
%, doubtful 2, thus giving to neither candi.
date majority Of the whole number and plac.
Ing the power Of turning the balance between
Adams and'Crawford, in the hands Of the par
tizans Of Clay. 1t therefore became matter of
great interest TO know how the latter would
vote as between the other two candidates.
Their feelings and principles being friendly
to the rights of the people and opposed to the
caucus domination would incline them TO H.
mite in support Of Adams, but it was feared
that they might be induced, through the me-
dium OF their interest, TO throw their vote into
the other scale. Such certainly was the hope
OF the ceucus party, and it was confidently
proclaimed by their prints that such would be
the fact, and that the vote OF the State would
be sven to Crawford.
That they will be disappointed il they have
ever seriously entertained any such expecta.
tons now very certain. A correspondent

who are at present in this City. 1t is
a we'll known trait in the character of
the Son of the Forest, that ne seldom
betrays surprise or establishment at any
thing he may behold, however wonder
ful. These Chiefs among other pub
lie institutions, visited the Asylum for
the Deaf and Dumb The interpreter
explained 10 them the situation of the
children, and that they were capable of
conveying 10 each other their wishes
and opinions, by means of their fingers.
This was too much for the credulity Of
the Indian without having satisfactory
evidence of its ruth. Accordingly he
desired the interpreter 10 whisper to the
teacher 10 ask one Of the boys By signs,
"who made him dumb on the ques-
ton being proposed, the boy i:nmedi-
ately, with piece Of chalk, wrote the
word God" upon black table against
the wall. The Indian looked at it, in ST.
lence, but as it conveyed no more idea 10
him than the Hebrew Alphabet, the In
terpreter perceived the dilemma, and
again whispered to the teacher to di-
rect him 10 draw an animal something
in the shape Of a Raccoon. The teach
er made the requisite signs, while the
Indian watched him intently: the boy
drew the figure, and the uncultivated
son of the forest was not too proud to
betray his establishment at this truly
wonderful discovery, by which the con-
dition of so many of our unfortunate fell
low beings will be rendered compare
lively happy.-.Aurora

PROVIDENCE, August 26.


FIRE.----Two valuable Cotton Manu-
factories were consumed by fire in the
village of Pawtucket, on Saturday after
noon last. The fire originated at the
picker (either by friction or collision)
in the three story factory belonging to
Messrs. Timothy Grecn g. Sons, and
spread SO rapidly that the work-people,
with difficulty, escaped from their sew
eral apartments, and very small part
OF the machinery, cotton, and manutac-
tured goods, was saved. The fire, with
almost the rapidly of Lightning, spread
20 the adjoining tour story stone factory,
belonging to Mcssrs. Abraham and Isaac
Wilkinson, and, in a moment, the inte-
rior was filled with solid sheet of fire.
But little of the machinery or other
property was saved. A small building
occupied as grocery store, and owned
by Mr.. Daniel Green, was torn down TO
prevent the spreading Of the fire. The
amount OF property destroyed, belong
ing to Messrs. Timothy Green s. Sons,
Is estimated at from 10000 to S25, 900,
$4,000 of which is insured The loss
ofMessrs. Abraham and Isaac Wilkinson
is estimated at from twenty-five 10 thirty
thousand dollars.

sequence of which, he has addressed a reply
to,the editors of that paper, from which VIC
extract the following paragraph. which may
probably be received as an exposition OF the
views of the Clay members generally.
- presume your correspondent alludcs to
the Presidential question, when he asserts that
have joined the Regenty; or that subject
my sentiments are well known, ard I can as
sure you, gentlemen, that they neither have
nor will undergo a change. am proud 10 be
styled by your correspondent the leader Of
the Clay party in this State, although have
never attempted to lead or drive any person.
Your correspondent may therefore rest assur-
ed, that the ''Regency" will never prevail on
me to throw my vote into the scale Of William
H. Crawford, nor do believe that there is
the remotest probability of ar. Crawford's
getting the vote of this State"
To whom then will the vote of that State
be given? To John Quincy Adams, most as
suredly; thus rendering his election by the
people almost certain without the intervention
Of Congress.
1t is as we expected; the outrageous, but
probably futile attempts of the Caucus party
in New York, to secure the vote OF that State
to Crawford, has produced determination,
among the people elsewhere, to sacrifice their
personal partialiits on the altar of public good.
In North Carolina, heretofore claimed as a,
Crawford State, the friends OF Adams and Jack
son have agreed TO support union ticket for
ELECTORS, with the understanding, that they
shall vote for the candidate who stands the
best chance of an election by the people, and
accounts say that it will be chosen by an over
whelming majority. Accounts from South
Carolina also state that their vote will be Civ
en- to the candidate who shall appear most
likely to defeat the radical nomination. The
Virginia papers express strong confidence
that, even there, the Adams ticket will event
ually prevail. 1t would not, therefore, be
strange, after all that has been done to saddle
him on the nation, if Crawford should be left
with the support OF Georgia alone. -Four
States are the utmost that can possibly be cal
culated OH for him, and only three of those in
accordance with the will of the people.

The Ministers of France Austria, Russia,
and Prussia, at Johannisbargh, continue
their conferences, butnothing transpires
respecting the subject of them. No En-
glish PIenipotentiary having joined them
this circumstance gives rise to various
conjectures. 1t is however affirmed,
thai Sir II. Wellesley, British Minister
at Vienna, WAS invited, like the other
Foreign Ministers, by Prince Metternich,
TO visit Johannesburg, but that he de-
cined.
The only result of the conferences
yet known is that the Wurtemburg Min

in his mission, to obtain The establish
mentof the diplomatic relations between
the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin, and

ofincapacity. The slowness of his OPP
