PENNSYLVANIA.

The following extract OF a letter from Nor
cumberland county, Pennsylvania, is from
gentleman of the first responsibility and intel
ligence in that county. The letter is dated Au-
gust 81: National Journal.
ssThe change of public sentiment upon the
subject of the next presidential election be-
comes daily more and more manifest, At the
last election there was little or no opposition to
General JACKSON, in this State, and now we have
the most urequivocal evidence that the majo-
rity is against him, and in favor of JOHN Gum
cY ADAMS. Among the causes which have
produced this effect, the boisterous and factious
opposition to the present Administration, may
perhaps, be considered as foremost. The great
mass of the people, SO long as an administra-
ton adhere to their true interests, are not apt
to join in an Opposition originating in dlsap
pointed, sordid, and selfish motives. A no.
tice was published in the different newspapers
Of this county, for some weeks previous 10 the
present term of our Court, calling meeting OF
the democratic republicans, on the Monday eve
ming of the first week. When the time arriv-
ed. and the objects were asCertained to be the
denunciation of Mr. Adams's Administration,
and the manner OF his election, and to euloglZe
General Jackson, and one of his ,,artsans in
Congress, from this District, such was the ge-
neral burst of disapprobation among the Peo-
pie and (there were very many in town. thai,
when the bell rung, not man entered the
Court house, but stood in squads In the streets,
we'll satisfied with the present state OF things,
and unwilling 10 array themselves on the side
of disappointed ambition merely to crafty
certain individuals. Some, however, were still
so blind as not to see and feel this palpable
expression of public sentiment, and procur-
ed hand bills TO be printed, calling meet
ing on the following evening, (Tuesday,) apd
headed Jackson Meeting of Independent Re
pu66cans' These notices earnestly urged the
friends of General Jackson to rally, inasmuch as
their views had been frustrated on the preced-
ing evening, sc. The hour arrived-the bell
was repeatedly rung, but the people came not
! Occasionally an individual, pale and wan, APP
preached the Courthouse door, "neath the
glimpses of the lamp, making night hideous,
and pauslng, sighed, and then reiterated In
"quickest time" There was no meeting
| Still, taoo or three, were dissatisfied Another
meeting was called, in the newspaper printed
/ in Sunsbury, to be held on Monday evening
last, (the second week Of the Court.) The bell
was heard and scene similar to the above was
exhibited Various Intellectual attempts were
made to organize meetins--and the people
dispersed.
1 give these facts to illustrate the opinion a
bove hazarded, that at present there is unques-
tionabIy majority in this county in favor OF
the reelection of Mr. Adams, and from similar
facts in other counties the ma ority is in his ia
vor throughout the State. A Delegate meet
ing will be held on Monday next, at Sunbury,
and ticket formed in the usual manner"

DISTRESSING CALAMITY.

Providence, Sept 9.,--Miss Susan Jameson,
of Cranston, Miss Mary Ann Winslow, daugh-
ter of the late Mr. Jeremiah Winslow, of this
town, and Mr. James Smith Of Carleton, Mass.
were drowned near Fields Poin, about three
miles from this town, yesterday afternoon, Mr.,
Smith, who after an absence ofsepen years, was
on visit TO his mother, accompanied by Miss
Jameson. and Miss Winsow, with her mother
and brother Mr.. George Bowen and another
female, sailed down the river in pleasure boat;
the two unfortunate females first named, were
knocked from the deck of the boat into the wa
ter, by the boom in jibing The men immedi-
ately sprang overheard to rescue :hem, and
would probably have succeeded, had any one
remained in the boat capable of managing it.
As this unhappily was not the case, the boat
drifted off, and the men to preserve their own
lives, abandoned the females TO their fate, and
two of them regained the boat by swimming.
James Smith is supposed to have been entan-
ged in the sea grass, in consequence OF which
he Was also drowned

accopna, after night had in. 1t being rainy
and extremely dark, the horse of the person
having the end of the rope, walked off the side
Of the bridge, carrying his rider with him, and
dragging the prisoner from the horse on which
he was mounted He fell on a wooden pin which
secured the plank to the sills-the fall was on
his side, and with such force as to terminate his
existence in about an hour The person who
fell from the bridge was but little hurt

singular and fatal occurrence took place at
Albany on Friday, the particulars of which we
have received from Mr.. Thos l.. Pemberton,
coroner. A young mah named Nelson, (whe-
Their his christian or sir-name is not known, OF
Cherry-Vally, about II years OF age, employed
in one of the canal boats, was sent on board the
sloop De Witt Clinton, lying in the basin, with
line for the purpose of warping the boal.---
While there, Thomas G. Haggerty, hand at
tached to the sloop Sappho, and then on board
that vessel, inquired whether he wanted work.
Nelson replied that he did, asking at the same
time the nature of the employment. HaggeTly
said that it was none of his business. Nelson
made further reply; when Haggerty told him
if he said so again he would throw him over
board. Nelson either said he could not or de-
fed him to do it; upon which Haggerty lmme-
diately jumped on board the vessel, caught him
in his arms, and threw him into the BASIN
When Haggerty perceived that he did not rise
TO the surface, he plunged in the water to his
rescue; but every exertion made by him and by
others to recover the body were unsuccessful,
until the lapse of half an hour; and then the et-
forts to restore life were unavailing. Hagger-
ty afterwards attempted to throw himself into
the basin, but was prevented and committed ior
trial. dfguS.
