Monday:
A CARD.-I have seen, without any
other emotion than that of inc fable con-
tempt, the abuse which has been pour
ed out upen me by a scurrilous paper
issued in this city, and by other kindred
prints and persons; in regard to tho
Presidential Election. The editor of
one OF those prints, ushered forth in
Philadelphia, called the Columbian OBJ
server. for which | do not subscribe,
and which have not ordered, has had
the impudence 10 transmit TO me his
vile paper of the asth inst. In that
number is inserted a letter, purporting
to have been written from this city, on
the s5th instant, by a member Of the
House of Representatives, belongingto
the Pennsylvania delegation. believe
il to be a forgery, but, il il be genuine,
pronounce the member, whoever he
may be. a base aud Infamous salumni-
ator. a bastard and a liar-and, il he
dare unveil himself and avow his name,

admit myselfto be, to all the laws which
govern and regulate the conduct ofmen

the enlightened Congressman aud orator
of the West, manifests a cordial feeling
towards the elevation of Mr.. ADAMS to

otherwise we do not exactly pretend

with the Washington editor, that "Mr.

Wo7s matters go an HeitHckY-Wc have before
given the particulars OF the murder Of AIR.
l;sker, editor OF the Mississippian, by the son
of the governor of Keatucky. During tue pre-
sent session OF the legislature OF thst state, an
attempt was made, and we have not heard The
ssae, 10 obtain an act chang ing the venue IN
taat case. To effect this, the governor him
self intertered with the purity OF the legisia-
tive body. by being found IN the room with
the committee acting upon tie bill. All the
rules Of the two houses we're dispensed with,
TO effect rs passage at once; and such a legis
lative tagce, or rather tragedy, has been acted
since The times OF Cromwell and his parlia-
ment. rhe following is an extract from the
| speech Of AIR. WickiItfe 10 lay the bill on the

Messrs. Farquhar, Lee. Mcmahon, Max

ton, which has so often been agitated

the suffering jews is to place them on
an equal footing with the rest of their
fellow-citizens, and this is now the case,
we believe, in every state Of the Union,
with the exception of Maryland; and
that state presents this strange conlradic-

We have just heard of a most wicked
murder, committed in the state of Geor-
gia by two young men, whose names
tor the present we suppress, sons Of
a distinguished citizen of that state.
The circumstances as we have heard it,
is this. The young met in { walk
with a black man in company, met with
a person who was going to market with
a parce! Of fowls, and began to Joke him,
he replied that they would perhaps be
as well employed in taking chickens to
market as they then were; at this the
young men ordered the black man TO
throw the person with the poultry on the
ground, which be did, when one ofihem
shot and killed him, with a pistol

We have merely room TO notice

We have merely roo to notice the
passage of two bills, on Friday last, by
the House of Representatives, both by
considerable majorities, and both of
much importance. By one an appro-
p%riation of $4,000 is made for the
Climber land Road, and by the other
100000, to subscribe for stock of the
Chesapeake and Dslatcere Canal Com
pany. after these appropriations, the
opinion OF the House of Representa-
tiyes in relation to their constitutions
right of aiding Internal improvements,
can no longer be doubted. Nothing
short of the firmest conviction on the
part OF the members, of their right thus
to promote the public good could pro-
duce such decided majorilies.

The Death OF RoBERT GooDLoE HAIR
PER, whatever differences of opinion
may prevail! as to his political views,
must be regarded as a common calami-
ty to his friends and to his country.
His late five letters, in defence of the
federal party, ifthey fail to convince re-
publicans, are nevertheless productions
which reflect credit upon his memory
as a writer, and do not detract from his
high reputation as a patriot and states
man. Albany Argus.
The above is no more than a just tri-
butte to the memory OF the late Gener-
al HARPsR. HE had outlived the hos
tibty and jealousy excited towards him
BY his decided curse as an opponent
OF the Republican party. He had, we
believe, dedicated the remainder of bis
life TO the employments to which great
part Of his latter days were Devoted
to works of charity and public utility,
and to objects of internal improvement.
