TOWN MEETING Tie democratic town
meeting. yesterday afternoon, was very hume
rously attended, and resulted, was anticipated,
in the confirmation, by almost unanimous vote,
OF the ticket recommended by the general ward
committee. AT an early period Of the meeting,
some noise and confusion took place, in con
sequence of 4 wish the part of large ma
jority OF the citizens who so fortunate as to
obtain stands in the court room, 10 adjourn the
yard. resolution TO that effect was offered, but
as we understood, the chairman, MIR. Jones, not
believing it TO be in order previous to the reading
of the proceedings of the former meeting, iefused
10 receive il.
A motion then made and carried, TO post
pone the reading OF the minutes for the purpose of
adjourniDg TO the yard, after which, a motion was
made TO adjourn TO the yard, s carried so far
we could judge by the voices, by majority of five
TO one \ division, however. called for; but
it was very evident, that division could possi-
bly, take place in the room; aud after some time
MIR. Jones left the chair and retired. The greater
part OF the citizens then repaired to the yard APP
pointed presiding officers, and passed upon the
ticket with great unanimity and good feeling.
An attempt made, towards the close of
the meeting, to ascertain the number of The friends
St Jackson and OF the Administration who were
present. Between four and five hundred Of the
former were counted. May more were in the
yard, who did not go into the line. Sentinel

MY Daar Sir-Your favor of the 2Ist instant
is received, re-assurng of the wish of many OF
my friends in kentucky that should visit the
Harrod-LuTg Springs. l had spoken early in the
spring of this visit, because those waters had been
recommended as necessary to the restoration of
Mrs. Jaclson's health, and there was additional
era fcation derived rom the hope that | would
see many Of my old friends in Kentucky, whose
company at all times would be pleasing to me-
But asrnuch as MIS-. Jackson is lately so far
imp owed not to render this Trip necessary.
II seems 10 me very questionable whether, with
Out tits necessity, / ought 10 yield to the oth,r
considerations, at this juncture l know that so
far as Kentucky is concerned, the unjust impu.
taions which it is my wish to avoid, would NV
er be raised; or rather, that great proportion
OF her citizens would attribute TO their Droner
origin, the Objects OF my visit; yet, when re-
Hsci upon the management and intrigue which
are operating abroad, the magnitude of the prin-
cpes which they are en!eavoring 10 supplant,
and the many means which they can draw TO their
assistance from the patronage of the government
feel il is not less due myself and 10 principle
than to the American people, particularly so far
as they have sanctioned my political creed, to
steer clear OF every conduct of hich the idea
might arise hat l was naDocIvring for my own
aggrandZement II it be true, that the admins
tT"tion lave gone into power contrary TO the voice
VI t"e h't ~ ana ale now expecting, by cans Of
tins power, thus acquired, 10 mould the public
Will into an aCqueScence with their authority, then
Is the issue iairly made out shall the government
or the people rule: And il becomes the man
whom the people shsll indicate as their righ,ful
representative In this solemn ISSUE so TO have ac-
quilted himself that while he displaces these en-
eni'es OF iberty, there sill be nothing in his own
example 10 operate against the strength and dura-
bIly OF the government
With this candid expression Of my feelings, on
this subject, hope you will recognize nothing
inconsistent WIKI The claims which my friends In
Kentucky have upon me. Were unconnected
with the present contest you may rest assured that
wherever my presence my labor would be use
ful IN arre-tng the efforts of intrigue and manage
ment, should not hesitate to repair 10 The po,t
which nv friends might indicate as the most ex-
posed. ii Is a source OF much regret 10 dsappoint
your wishes, and those of our mutual friends in
Kentucky; but as things are, unless Mrs j.
health should render it necessary, think you will
coincide with me, that visit to Kentucky would
be improper at ihis period. shall be happy 10

Esteemed Friend-Bythe schooner Amazo,a,

letters from respectable persons in Caracas -.
From these | learn that the state Of affairs in
Venezuela presents favorable aspect The
army is divided, opinions vary, the indisposi-
ton Of General Paez increases; already he be-
gins 10 see his error and to understand the real
character of the persons who have hurried him
into it; and at the arrival Of the Liberator all
will be union and peace. Col Marceno, with
part of the army OF Paez, had arrived at BARGE
Iona, and ! do not hesitate now TO contradict
what formerly wrote to you. There will be
peace in Venezuela; and union, the most entire
union, throughout all Colombia. We have
good reason to believe and affirm that the go
vernnent follows with firm step the constitu-
tional course, and endeavors by the union of its
councils to give greater effect to lis determine
val OF large remittance of specie from Bogota,
to pay the bills of exchange drawn by the a,
gents Of Colombia in New-York and the expen-
ses of the frigates which have been built in the
port of that city. The marine force continues
to be the principal object of the executive, and
we learn with pleasure that it has removed one
of the principal obstacles which hindered the
growth and improvement of the navy, that is
to say the want Of intelligent men in the com
mand. General Limo Clemenle, veteran sea-
man, and man of enlightened views, is at the
head of the department Of naval affairs. Com
