Democrat do much evil 10 society. 1t is me-
lancholy reflection that such paper can be sus-
tanned, even for time"
The paper alluded to above is printed in Pitts
burg, and is the same that some two years ago
recommended that General Jackson be placed
in the Presidential Chair at the point of the bayo-
metz 1t was originally forMr Calhoun.
1t affords us pleasure to announce that CARY
SEkDEN ESQ. has been appointed by the Presl-
dent, Naval Store Keeper, at the Navy Yard OF
Washington, in the place of David Brearly, re-
signed.
The Editors of the National Advocate, who
were among the firstfo urge the consideration
of MIR. Jefierson's embarrassments upon the at
tention of til. citizens of New York, we regret
TO perceive, seem now TO despond of success.
ave are fearful they say "that sufficient at
tention has not been paid to this important
subject, and that our anticipations will not be
realized If it results as we now apprehend,
we shall have little to boast of but we hope
the Committees will be active for the few re-
manning DAYS, and that the citizens on whom
they call may be alive TO the subject, and a diff
ierent complexion given to the returns. 10
say more would be needless; we have again and
again alluded to the situation of the venerable
liberality manifested, it will not be our fault.
The circumj acent coun ny is alive with To-
Gusts, and a few have found their way into town;
but except by their dsagreeable noise, they are
inoffensive. They have recently made their aP-
pearance as far north as New.Yolk, as will be
seen by the following paragraph from the New
York Statesman:
correspondent informs us, that on visit
last evening at his friends house, four miles
from the city, on the Bloomingdale road, he
discovered large quantities Of the real LocustS.
They come from the ground in the evening,
and crawl upon the trees, the day after having
exchanged their shell or covering for wings
arms, and legs. The holes in the hard earth
from which they issue, are from to IA inches
deep.
We published an extract, few days since,
from the Kentucky Argus, giving an account OF
the proceedings in the trial of Beauchamp, for
the aedged murder of Col Sharp Itwas there
in,imated that the arrest of Mrs. Beauchamp
had been ordered by the Court. The Kentucky
Gazette Of the 10Th ultimo states, that the ar
rest was actually made-and that Mrs. was
lodged in the Frankfort Jail, upon suspicion of
being the acconplce of her husband in the hor-
rible murder. 1t was expected that the argu-
ments of the counsel would be closed on the Goth
utimo.
1t is stated in the Democratic Press, that at
the intersection of Broad-street, (Philadelphia)
and the Ridge road, about half past nine O'Clock
two fellows stopped a citizen. One OF them
seized him by the collar while the other pre-
scented pistol, and demanded the travellers
watch; he drew back; the word lire was given,
and the pistol snapped. There was no flasa, al
though the flint struck fire sufficient. The rob
bers now took 10 their heels; the traveller gave
the alarm; divers swords and one musket were
put in requisi,ion, and general hue and cry
and pursuit was taken up. The robbers, how
ever, escaped, having missed their booty.
Letters received at this office from Talahas-
see corroborate the statement given below, as
far as it relates 10 the high prices OF provisions,
the indications Of continued health, and the ne
cessi,y of emigrants carrying with them suf-
Gcient quantity of bread stuffs and bacon to last
them until these articles can be raised SIEVE
raj Of our correspondents inform us, that the
sketch Of Florida published in this Gazette on
the 9th of April, is decidedly the most accurate
that has appeared in print 1t was from the
pen Of an intelligent gentleman, whose inior-
nation we were sure was correct.
FLORIDA.
Extract of a letter to the editors of the Richmond
Wing, dated
Tallahassee, (F2orida,) .4pra 81.
