Mr.. EDIToR:
1t has become the custom whenever a number of
persons assemble together to try the strength of the
Presidential parties. In conformity to this custom
will give the public some facts whereby the state
of parties in this county may be ascertained. At
our late county court the Presidential question
taken in the Grand Jury room. the result was for
Adams 2i, Jackson 4, there also decided ma
jority the petit jury but as the question not
put to the jury, the exact state is not known The
Judges of the County and Orphan courts for
Adams. Five out of seven of the Levy court. and
all the commissioners of the Tax are for Adams
Out of twelve trustees of the Academy. eleven arc
for Adams and seven of the Trustees of the poor
for Adams, 1 for Jackson and one undecided.
would here appeal to those Of my felowcitizens who
are unacquainted with the merits of the two Candi-
dates, and who wish to do right. and ask them how
it happens that all the public bodies, and in fact al
most all the talents and virtue of the Eastern Shore
are for Adams ? Is it not because they are 50 well
satisfied of the fitness Of Adams and the unness of
jackson ? Are they not qualified to Judge and have
you not confidence in thems

THE SUBSCRIBER wishes to sell the Grist

Chestertown. This very valuable property will be-
sold to good purchaser, on such terms rs will Sc

During the last and the present year the Grist
Mill has been we'll repaired on the improved plan
of cast iron cog wheels, working into very large spur
wheel: and every part of the running gears, water
wheel and great frame, husk, it is called, has
been made entirely new, within few months past.
and also pier head OF fore-bay, boiling cloth and
gears are new and of the best quality-the mill IS
making some of the best meal and flour in Kent
County. The stream on which said mills are built
is far superior to any in Kent County, so much so
that grain is at this very dry sent to her from
Is to 90 miles, and at all seasons an excellent sup
py of country custom is offered, and the water
power is sufficient to do merchant work and manu-

can be very profitably employed until drought
nrevas. The Dam and Flood Gates are in good
order.

In an especial manner we recommend Gr,m-
shaw's Histories, as adapted to the School desk
Smiley's Arithmetic is simple and comprehensive
treatise, and has had its excellence proved by ex-
tensve use.
Grimshaw's genealogical Dictionary is one Of
peculiar merit, and is, we believe, the only one Of
the kind whn the reach Of students. 1t is replete
with nstructlon.--We have already had occasion
to speak in detail of these works, and subsequent
experience has shown that onr antlcpatons OF their
| usefulness were we'll founded.
| We complained some time since Of the want
of treatise on natural philosophy adapted to
schools and our worthy citizen DR.. T. ?. Jones
supplied the chasm. We now hint to those who
have tact for furnishing popular work with suit
i able questions, that there is deficiency in moral
philosophy at least we know of none in cate
chetical form, or furnished with questions at the
the foot of each page or close of each chapter.

vertsement Of Mr.. Parkhurst, which will be

useful, or more sought for, than that of penman-
ship; and those who are frequently mortified in
presenting their writings to the observation OF
others, are enabled to appreciate its intrinsic
value OF all others, the Ladies should be ac-
quainfed with it, as they have frequent occa-
sions to correspond with their friends and asso-
ciaies, and what looks worse than letter bad.

Mr.. Parkhurst's plan is as novel as it is simple
and we know of several, who, after having at.
tended his school but short time, have beer
enabled to execute an elegant manuscript, and
who, before they attended his academy, could
scarcely write legible hand A fine opportu.
nifty is now afforded to merchants clerks, and
all Others, who are anxious to improve theil
chirography, and as Mr.. Parkhurst will proba.
bly, leave us ere long, we advise those who arc
disposed to improve by his instructions, to at.
tend his school. Specimens Of his writing ma,
be examined at this Office.

LoRp BYRoN--It is now stated in the lite
rary werld, that MIR. Moore is occupied with
the life Of Lord Byron, which will be published
next season by Mesas. Longman. Mr.. Moore
Is in possession Of nearly two hundred letters
Of his late noble friend.
Mr.. Murray, we understand, (says London
paper) has given up the intention Of publishing
the mass Of Lord Byron's interesting cores
pondcnce in his possession, during his own life
time. II is TO be hoped however, that his fami-
ly may not be deprived Of their value, nor the
public ofits qualification, by their appearance at
later and perhaps filter period. We have
seen some Of these documents (Mr. Murray's)
and heard the contents Of others (Mr. Moore's)
and we can promise for their being likely TO
make a strong sensation.
while speaking Of their writer, we may re-
misl sw readers cf the existence Of two unpub-
Hshed csntos Of Don Juan. II is to be wished
tbst these, and any other ,osthumous works OF
Losi Byron, should be printed.

A writer in the London Morning Herald, in

American Governments, makes the following
statement
/" The annual expenditures of the United
States amount to only about f2, 1913 1888 stcr-
ling-that is to say, to about one t,Denty
fourth part of ours, which is f55 200, 900.
The details Of course, bear similar propor-
ton. Thus, whilst our army costs eight millions
and quarter, the U. States army costs but
f46s,O0 Our navy costs six millions and
half that ofthc United States only G726,000.
Our ordnance one million and three quarters :;
the American ordnance but f263,000. Our
civil list namely, king, royal family, nobility,
and courts Of justice, two millions and quar-
ter the civil list of America, f274 900. Our

RHoDE-IsJAND PENAL CoDE.--Thc i'm
policy of the Rhode-Island Penal Code, has
long been evident to the public; and although
it has heen subject Of general complaint for
the last forty years, no improvement has thus
far been made, so avcrsc arc many of the peo-
pic to the least innovation. Since the rising Of
the last session Of our State Legislature, a dis
gusting commentary has been furnished on the
wretchcdness OF the policy; and the doors of
our "prison houses I" have been thrown open,
on petition of the convicts, and some fifteen or
twenty, sentenced by the highest tribunals of
the State, to suffer long Imprisonment for the
commission Of crimes, which in England would
subject them to the ignominy of the gallows,
have been let loose upon society, and are now
prowling at large, depredating upon society,
and seeking whom they may devour. In this
state Of things, there is no security in society;
for when men who have been pronounced infa-
nous, and unworthy of the cnjoyments Of liber-
ty, arc suffered TO prowl around our streets,
what may we not expect from them! what
crimes are they not prepared to perpetratc!
Our Penal code is altogether defective, and
it becomes the people to make an exertion to
place it on proper basis. In the first place
our laws are toe sovcre,-in the second place
they are ilot often enough carried into execu-
ton, and when they are executed, they are
not productive OF the sanitary eUcCtS antlClpa-
ted by their trainers, upon the world. In this
do we not prepare men for the commission of
all kinds Of crime and thus set mark upon
them, which must necessarily cut them off
from society, and compel them to resort to
the pursuits Of the common villain and depre-
dator for livelihood.
We want State Prison, where criminals
may be confined, for given period, and
where they may, whilst they expiate their
crimes, be Of some service to the country, and
pay something by their labour, for their own
maintenance. In a state like ours, deeply en-
gagged in manufacturing pursuits, State Pris-
on might be employed to great advantage,
by employing the criminals in the manufactu-
ring business. II may be objected that the
power loom has so far reduced the price of
manual labour, that a convict, by weaving,
could not pay his way This may be so, but
we doubt il, and we know, that ono Of our
manufa acturing establishments, has for the last
twenty years., supplied the convicts in the
Vermont State Prison with weaving; and for
more than ten years supplied the prisoners of
the Massachusetts, prison with employment in
the same manner.
II, then, other states can employ their con-
victs in manufacturing pursuits, why cannot
wei The experiment is certainly worth try
ing, and we hope il will engage the attention
Of the public. These hints have been incidcn-
tally thrown out, without much reflection, but
we may possibly pursusthe subject in future
number.
