MIR. KREMER.

When we few days since announc-
ed to our readers, that MIR. Kremer
would be a candidate for governor Of
this state, at the next election for that
officer, it was taken as a piece of badi-
mage, intended to hit the gullibility of
the times. We knew, as well as those
who doubted our assertions, that the
man alluded to, possessed no single
qualification for the chief magistrate
of state, growing in her political and
commercial importance-we knew that
nature had denied him any thing more
than the most ordinary talents; and art
had not improved them by education.
We knew as well as any other, that be-
fore the letter which Mr.. Kremer sign
ed. on behalf of few individuals in
Congress, the men who are about to
gibbet his name as candidate, would
as soon thought of voting for one of
their menials. Yet in that business,
giving Mr.. Kremer credit for all that
his friends can claim for him, "plain no.
nesty," it cannot be disguised that he
has shown himself very weak and a
very ignorant man-weak in condo
scending to sign his name to produc-
ton he could not indite-and ignorant
in penning such articles as appeared in
the Baltimore papers, with his name,
and as form his replies to certain invita-
tons to dinners, suppers, sc.
The positive assertions Of certain
journals, that no democrat should toie-
rate reelection ola governor, and the
ungracious illusions that are made at
certain appointed officers, all show that
the days of Mr.. Shulze, are numbered.
We learn from the "Union Times"
that several gentlemen in Mifflinburg,
(Union county have invited Mr.. Kre-
mer to dinner, which the honorable
gentleman has promised to attend. Is
there no symptom of the decay of MIR.
Shulze's popularity in this land do
not certain members of congress, who
aided in the Latin quotations of Mr..
Kremer's letter, wish that they had left
him to his German, before they had
thrust him, so NAL apropos over their
own heads. Philadel. U. S. Coz.

Important Decis;on.-The jury in the
case of Commonwealth, Us. George Tyson,
in theMayor's Court yesterday, brought
in verdict of Guilty.
The circumstances which were the
subject of this Indictment, and which
have caused so much excitement in the
public mind, are generally known, and
were conclusively established on the
trial. The indictment of Mr.. Tyson,
who has hitherto held a respectable
station in society, was for obtaining
from Mrs. Stewart upwards Of $1,000,
under pretence of purchasing for her as
a broker, bank stock to that amount;
but which in reality never was purchas-

We earnestly solicit the attention Of oul

proposed and supported them, we predict the

We learn from the Boston Evening
Gazette, that Captain Crane, now COM
mander Of the Naval Station at Ports
mouth, is ordered to the command OF
the Navy Yard at Charlestown, and
that Captain Finch is to succeed Capt.
Thompson at the Rendezvous.
From the same source we learn that

of vessels and stations, requiring them
in the months Of January and July each
year, to report the general character
and department Of every officer under
their command. 10.

est of Afric's fair daughters yesterday
attended the Levee of Justice, under
the protection of Beau Raymond. Miss
Sootey did not appear to relish her at
tendant at all; but her natural politeness
prevented any show of her feelings on
the occasion. 1t seemed that Miss
Sootey had received present Of new
gold watch, chain and seals, which MIR.
RAYMOND having some hint Of, and be-
ing DESTROYS of companion to the Le-
wee, politely offered his services. The
offer was so tempting, Miss Sootey
could not refuse, and i'll fashionable

ed, but converted to the uses OF the de-
PENDANT. The felony indicted was con-
structive larceny, and the great question
before the court was whether it was
that offence or mere breach Of trust.
The jury, applying the facts to the law,
were persuaded that the defendant had
a felonious intention in the transaction,
and therefore was guilty under the in
dictment. Phil Freeman's Journal

We understand that Morgan's Mill,
situate four miles above Shepherds
town, on the Potomac, was burnt down
on Thursday night last. There were
about 80 or 40 barrels of -four in the
mill at the time. We have not heard
whether the fire was accidental or
not. Torch Light.
A negro belonging to neighboring
estate, on Wednesday last set fire to
the barn of Mr.. George Sinclair, near

$4,000. The negro has been commit

From every thing we can learn, we
feel justified in the assertion, that the
condition of Baltimore is restored to
a healthful action. That reaction of
trade, consequent upon state of over
dealing and speculation, has subsidized,
and business has been restored to its
appropriate channel; & though princely
fortunes, may not be made in day, yet
legitimate ambition and enterprise, will
not fail to see their labours crowned
with success, if governed by prudence
and discretion.
Every evil has its good, and its exis-
tence will not fail to better the condi-
ton of man, if a proper regard be had
to the moral it would inculcate; SO also
will be found to be its effects upon
those communities who have been sub
iect to its infections, that have been in
fluenced by its dictates. Unjust afford
to the friends of Baltimore, the most
delightful feelings of qualification, to
observe the enviable condition, to which
our trade has been advanced by the dis
Greet management Of our citizens
Commerce and the Mechanic arts, have
both derived the most solid advantages
from it, and what is better than all, our
present prospects give the strongest
indications Of continued improvement.

We copy from northern paper All
account of the execution of woman,
which makes us shudder, and which
we present 20 our readers only because
it may excite in them horror for this
mode of punishment. The public hang
ing Of female would suit barbarous
age and nation:-it becomes not our
times and country; it is either too re-
Voting or affecting to operate upon Ell
Their sex as an example in the spirit Of
the law. This instance illustrates its
unprofitableness for society, in all res
poets except the destruction of the cul-
prit, point at least questionable as to
its public utility, especially in the case
of female, whom other infections
might reform, however heinous her
immediate guilt. Nat. Gaz.
EXECUTION OF PEGGY FACTo.
Plattsbsrg, March 23.-On Friday
last. at an early hour, crowds of peo-
ple began to collect in this village, from
every point of the vicinity, to witness
the execution of this unfortunate con-
vict. Before noon, the period pointed
out in the sentence, between which and
two o'clock the last act Of the law was
to be performed, the concourse had be-
come very great.

soner was brought from the Jail in a

An intelligent people however, will be eau
tious in permitting themselves to be mlsled by
the influence of terms perverted from their
actual meaning. Against measures whose
real design is the extension of executive pa
tronage, the whole force Of their moral and
political power will be successfully directed.
But they will not be driven from an honest
support of systems, calculated to insure ex-
tensive benefits to the country, merely be-
cause they place at the disposal OF the 60
vernment little additional money, or a few in
considerable officers; or because, from their
importance, they may give increased popular
itv to those whose personal merits and public
services have elevated them to places of pow
or and trust. Yet such is precisely the case
with the systemof internal Improvement which
has excited SO much jealousy. Patronage
cannot be its object-because all the patron
age it creates will be utterly insignificant,
when compared with the powers of appoint
ment and expenditure already vested IN most
ofthe departments ofthe general government.
And it surely cannot be consideredas serious
objection to the system, pregnant as it's with
the most important influences on the NATIONAL
welfare, that it is calculatedto strengthen the
bond of affection between the people and a
government which they have created-over
which they exercise continued control--and
which it ism their power at any moment to
destroy.
