Mr.. Gilbert Burns, whose early history is in
tima,ely blended with that Of his brother, the
poet, died at Grants Braes, on the 9Th of April,
in the 9th year Of his age.
During violent thunder storm on the night
of the 22d ult. the brig Marcullus, at anchor in
the stream, off Mobile, was struck with light
ming, which so completely splin,ered the main
mast, main-top-sail and top-gallant-mast, that
the rigging would barely support them till they
could be taken out Fortunately the officers
and crew bad turned in, and no one was mate
rally injured. The main rigging was consid-
erably damaged, and the decks received some
! Sigh, Injury. The vessel was in ballast, and
so completely was her hold and cabin filled
with sulphurous smoke, that it was feared Tor
some tine she was on fire.
| In reply to a southern writer, who attempts
to shew that New-Jersey may yet give her cleo
,oral votes to the Military Chieftain-now cali
ed, for effect, the Tennessee Farmer-the Editor
Of the Trenton True American remarks
"cThe veterans ofthe revolution, who still sur
vive. are unhappily few in number, but as far
as their opinions can be ascertained, at least as
many are in favor of MIR. Adams, as are against
him We know Of numbers who braved the
dangers Of that stormy period, and supported
the government the country then, who delight
to avow their support of the government no'o,
and of those who SO ably administer lis affairs
The ciergy, too. who are said to be for the gene
raj, are far from being SO generally We are ac-
quainted with more than sixty, in the several
counties Of the state, who are in favor oil the ad-
ministration, and we doubt not that others are
so likewise. That many are in favor Of Gen.
Jackson, we admit; and number Of them have
been proselyted to their present opinions, by
the political missionary exertions Of hair

had visited the general, and who, contrary 10 all
ruth presumptuously pronounced him re'-
gious man. Being acquainted as we are in every
county in the state, and with number oil The
clergy in each county, we hesitate not to say that
our firm beliefs, that majority OF the clergy OF
the several denominations that constitute the &C.
clesiastica al body of this state. decidedly in o.
:. pinon in favor ofthe present adminis'ra' ,and
the p esent president, rather than OF Gen jack
son. Of the bar, too, we can speak with some
certainty. Many of that respectable body are
for the general, but We very much doubt whe-
:her amgiority are SO. OF some OF the junior
members, we cannot be confident, as these have
as yet taken little part in the contest. But Tor
the opinions of the older members, we can po-
sitively aver, we are acquainted with forte.eight
legal gentlemen, who are in favor OF the admin.
istration, and We have reason to believe there
are number more who entertain The same OPT.
Mons; while in the range Of our acquaintance,
we know Of only thirty-G,e gentlemen of the
bar, who are opposed TO the administration, al
though others doubtless are so. From con-
! sidera,ion of the whole affair then, we are led
TO believe that neither majority of the ueierans
Of the revolution, Of the clergy, or Of The bar, are
in ia, or Of General Jackson Besides this, all
the Judges Of the Supreme Court, the Cover
nor, the secretary Of state, the attorney gene
RAIL- and almost all the principal officers OF the
government, are friendly 10 the present admin
is,raiion, and to the reelection Ct MIR. Adams
And that at least majority Of GOO of the 2eo-
pie of the state are so, we are well assured
The ballot boxes, last autumn, when the quts-
ton was fairly tested. told more than 5000 ma
jority, and zee are confident if all the voters in
the state were to go to the polls, and express
their opinions by their suffrages, that a, leas,
double that number as majority, would sup
port the administration. Ii is folly then, to
claim NewJersey for the opposition. A re'o-
! luton greater than has ever taken place in any
state, must be effected in public opinion, be-
fore this state can be made 10 go for General
Jackson. Nothing but the most culpable re-
missness in the friends Of MIR. Adams, ifhe con
tinues 10 act as correctly as I've has done, can
prevent his receiving the electoral vote of this
state. AND as far as New Jersey is concerned,
the Tennessee farmer will be permitted peace
fully to continue on his farm, TO enrich himself
BY the profits Of his cotton crops, and to enjoy
all the honors flowing from his military serv-
ces, TO which he is fairly entitled.
