VICE PRESIDENT.

Gun CoRREsPoNDENT at Washington
states, " that il is now decided that Genera
HARRISON, Of Ohio, will be the Administra.
ton candidate for Vice-President."
This We hopo will prove to be the case. foI
q more efficient man could not be selected by
the Administration He is a statesman Of ad-
mitted talents and superiority, and if, as the
Jacksonians contend, it is necessary that the
statesman should also combine the qualities OF
the soldier, then is General Harrison decided
ly the man for the people. As a soldier, he
has been distinguished for his heroism, pru-
dcnce and noble daring, and some of his OK
ploits have not been equalled by the most dis
tinguished Of modern heroes. He is a friend
10 the American System, an accomplished gen.
tleman, scholar, statesman and hero, and Just
such a man as the nation might delight to honor
If elected to the Vice Presidency, we believe
that the Senate Chamber, would not, under
his administration, DO made the arena of po-
litical squabbles, and the seat Of the heated
and fermented passions Of desperate political
Adventures, and aspiring mad-caps. We hope
General Harrison will be run for the Office, and
if he is, we venture TO predict, that his elcva-
ton to that post, will be easily and speedily
ofEe cted,

when Mr.. Randolph after a few PREDATORY

HUGH maxwell AND HENRY EcKFoRp.
Tho papers communicated by a member of
the New-York Bar, in relation to the existing
diff between HENRY EcKFoRp, Esq.
and HUGH maxwell, have been attentively
peruseJ by US, and will be noticed in our next.
We promised a notice Of them in to days pa
per, but having exhausted SO much time in
reading them, we have had no time allowed us
to write in relation to the subject matter of
their contents. By tho way, we have seen
some very coarse and vulgar remarks, thrown
at those gentlemen, very recently, by an Ed
itor residing in some part Of the country, who
Processes unbound ~ attachment to truth and
justice, and who seems TO be sadly chagrined.
because Messrs. Eckford and Barker have
been cleared by tho courts Of justice Of their
country, and have not been crucifed. Sneers,
assertions, and dsnunciations, coming from a
source SO irresponsible, will not effect much
when it is remembered that those who have
become bankrupts in fortune and in fame, arc
ever solicitous to pull the exalted down to their
own level. The scurrillity of such pitiful crca.
lures, who themselves have defrauded the wild.
ow and the orphan, and mantled themselves
by the bankrupt laws of the land. TO screen
themselves, is not worth n%oticing;-it may &c
for what it is worth.

TIE WASHINGTON TELEGRAPn.-Whcn-
ever the Editor Of tho Washington Telegraph,
General DUR GREENE, finds it necessary to
abuse this paper, he will do nothing more than
confer an act Of justice, by sending a copy Of
the paper, which contains the abusive article,
that wo may have an opportunity to reply to
his assertions and sweeping donunciations.-
We are informed by a friend, that the Tele-
graph of the first of this month, contained an
attack upon us, which, as we have not seen
it, we are unable to repel. But this is not a
matter Of any great consequence, as the abuse
Of Duff Greene, wherever he is known, carries
lis own rcfutation in its train.

When the Almighty was about to create
man. he summoned before him the angels OF
his attributes, the watchers OF his domlnIons
they stood in council round his hidden
throne:
Create him not, said the angel OF Justice
he will no. be equitable to his brethren ne
will Cypress the weaker.
Create him not, said the angel OF peace'
he will manure the soil with human blood
the first born of his race will be the slayer
Of his brother.
Create him not, said the angel OF Truth,
he will defilc thy sanctuary with talsehood'
although thou shouldst stamp on his coun-
tenance, thine image, the seal OF confidence'
So spake the angels of the attributes OF le-
hoyah' when MERCY, the youngest and the
dearest child of the Eternal, arose and clasp

Numerous are the passages in the gospel

OF the female sex. From the angels saluta.
ton of the virgin mother of our Lord, to the
letter Of John, the beloved apostle, to the la
dy and her children, the New Testament is
iull oftheir exertions, their affection, fidel-
ity and influence. In the course of our Sa-
ylour's ministry, sublime and solemn as was
his supernatural character, we find frequent
examples of his attention to them, and OF
their attachment to him. To the woman of
,samaria, he made the first declaration of
MS Messiahship, and impaired the first
principles of his new and spiritual doctrine.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN LEWIS.

TEyery one has heard of Captain Lewis,

sent BY President JefFerton, to explore our
