Mr.. SrEvENsoN.--The elevated place
which this gentleman now holds in the eyes OF
the people, induces us to copy the following
paragraph from a correspondent of the Com
mercial Advertiser:
"Those ofyour readers who have never be-
fore heard of Mr.. Stevenson, and, as he has
moi hitherto filled a very large space in the ma
TONS eye, he can be known to but few, will,
perhaps, inquire who he is. His history is not
worth relating, and his character has no points
either good or bad, which can be dwelt on
with much interest. He is a native of Virgin
ia, and is about A years old. At an early age
he was placed, for he had not the benefit Of a
liberal education, in a clerks office at Rich
mond; from which, about twenty years ago,
he came, a. saLum, to the bar. Here he has
toiled ever since without much profit or fame,
having never risen to cminence in his profess
ion. He has been n member of the Virginia
legislature, of which body he was speaker.
During Monroe's administration he opposed
Adams; and, in the newspaper discussions,
growing out of the Seminole affair, he took
part against the hero, with whom he consider
ed Mr.. Adams as identified. lie came into
Congress six years ago, where he opposed tho
bankrupt bill exclusively on the ground that it
was unconstitutional. TIL tariff he opposed
on the ground tina: Congress could not, consti-
tutionally, impose a duty whose object or eff
feet should be to encourage domestic manufac-
lures! Having. by these, and one or two 9TH
or speeches, given ample proof OF his devotion
TO the Virginia anti-national, state-right princi-
pies, and having recanted his objections 10
Gen. Jackson, the eyes Of the Virginia delcga-
ton became fixed upon him, and their votes
were ultimately united on him as speaker, in
,r,carAnnr 10 Mr. n,rbA,r ,nh1 q, C..uI
superior to him in talent and parliamentary ex-
perience, and who, poor man, had resigned his
judgeship in Virginia, and conn to Congress,
with the expectation of being elected TO that
honorable station. In temper Mr.. Stevenson
is irascible ard violent and when a little irrita-
ted, is regardless Of decorum; for instances of
which. l could refer you to his legal career.
lie may, | presume he will, assume a dignity
aud self-possession suited to his high duties
but it will not sit upon him, for it is foreign to
his genius, education and habits. In person,
Mr.. s. is tall and handsome; his feelings
are said to be social, and his morals are ire
proachable.

Copy Of a Letter, dated Washington, De-
cember 4, 1927.

MEssRs. SMITH s. PARMENTER,
Gentlem en-The news of the election of
Mr.. Stevenson, Speaker, and the Message,
will no doubt reach you before the receipt of
this. The Message gives universal ~satisfac-
ton, I believe, to all parties. No one can as
yet find fault with any part of it. am much
disappointed at the result of the ballotiug yes
tcrday, for Speaker. 1t was generally be-
lievee in the morning, that Mr.. Taylor would
be elected by a majority o fthreo votes; but four
Of your New-England delegation, and some
say five, voted against him, viz Anderson and
Ripley ofMaino, Harley of New-Hampshire,
BarJer, of Connecticut, and perhaps Richard
son Of Massachusetts. If the administrator
had have taken up Mr.. Sergeant, they would,
without doubt, have elected him. Mr.. Steven
son had many personal friends in the House,
and is a gentleman Of much responsibility and
a moderate party man, and is said to be OPP
posed to tic election Of General Jackson
his political opinions coincide with most of the
Virginia politicians he is opposed to the
construction Of tho Constitution, which gives
The power to Congress to appropriate money
for Internal Improvement. lie is also deadly
opposed 10 the encouragement Of Manufac-
lures; ana it is strongly limited to-day, that he
intends removing Mr.. .Nailary of Vermont,
from the Committee Of Manufa %ctures, and
placing n gentleman in his place, (Chairman,)
who will oppose any further protection to the
woollen marufacturers;--bu this is merely
report.
To-day, Mfr. Eaton, Of Tennessee, introduced
a resolution, appointing Duff Greene, printer
to tho SENATE, which was adopted, not, how
ever, without considerable sparring between
some of the members. Yoar Senator, Mr..
Robbins, opposed the resolution in q firm and
dignifcd manner. Mr.. Macon, who is all and
all with the Opposition, came out against this
measure, which went TO exclude his old friends,

have so long held, TO the entire satisfaction Of

We recommend to the attentive perusal Of
the editor OF a paper published in this town on
Tuesdays and Fridays tho following para
graph from the New York Daily Advertiser:
LIBERTY OF THE PRESS IN COLOMBIA.
There is an article in one of our Bogota pa
pers, which we have read with peculiar pleas
ure. Those who have lately INDUCED in
gloomy anticipations with regard to the pros
poets of Colombia, on account Of some arbi-
trary measures in some parts, and rumours that
the liberty of the press was DESTROYED in all.
will be gratifed to learn, on the authority
OLA leading paper of the capital of Colombia,
that in that city and the interior departments,
the liberty of the press has been unrestrained
and unawed throughout the late unhappy and
perilous state Of that country"

IMposroR.-It will be Iecollected that the
Editors Of the Boston Traveller, a few months
since, published an account Of a man by the
name of Gregory, who represented himself as
having been taken and Kept in captivity a long
time by the Indians. He positively asserted that
he had been scalpcd, his tongue cut out. sc.
Sc; and in consequence of the interest which
the Editors of the Traveller took in his behalf,
he succeeded in drawing largely on the be-
nevolencc Of the citizens of Boston, after
which he made a sudden fight from that city,
since which, he has been taken, in the city OF
Philadelphia, where he attempted to practice
his imposition, was examined, and proved be-
yond a doubt, to be a rank impostor. The
Mayor ordered a professional examination OF
the wounds which he pretended to have re-
ccived among the Indians. His stiff arm was
easily bent, and his tongue, which was repre-
sented TO have been cut, was entire, but tied,
as is sometimes the case; and his head, instead
of being scalpcd, presented an unusually full
covering of hair.

o. The City Council of Ncw-OrIeans have
generously voted a donation Of ono thousand
dollars, towards the relief Of the %suficrers by
the late calamitous fire at Mobile. AT a meet
ing Of the Mayor and Alderman of Mobile, on
the 10Th ultimo. a resolution was passed, in
st%ructing the Mayor to acknowledge, with
gratitude, the receipt Of the communication;
and to state, that the Board are not advised
of any peculiar distress among the sufferers,
but, should il hereafter be deemed necessary,
the profIercd donation will be accepted in the
same spirit in which it has been rendered"

England and FrsseS The following ed.
torial paragraph Of ne London Courier, is
strk ingly ,conlrasted with the spirit and tone
Of The same Journal, with regard 10 France,
some years go:
England and Francsthave been TOO long
pitted, as IL were, against each other, as If
some natural antipathy divided them. Emil
nent, alike, IN warlike glory-competitors,
alike, in the fair fields Of .science-renowned,
alike, in literature and France now advancing
rapidly upon England in the Improvement Of
her political nstitutions-are they not marked
out as associates, rather than as rivals. United.
for just and honorable objects. they may COM
mand the world; divided, and IN conflict, the
shock Of their collision must be felt in its re-
hottest quarters. Tho most inattentive observ-
err must have noticed, during the last ten years,
various instances wherein simple Justice has
been reciprocally rendered to both countries,
under circumstances which, less than half n
century back, would have elected some paltry
display of national feelings-or rather Of ma
tional prejudiccs. Forourselvcs, we are never
better pleased than when, as on the present
occasion, we can contribute towards promoting
those sentiments Of mutual esteem and respect
which should subsist between two countries SO
closely identified in their general interests"

ton monbers (Ba,ion and Sanford voted
for tho resolution.
Tho Administration, in tho House, probably
have q majority Of four or five. Mr.. Sargent
will probably be the leader in debate, on the
Administration sido;-ho will be seconded by
a powerful array OF talent. The talent In the
House is on our side. Mr.. Sergeant ranks
as first. Mcssrs. Everett, Taylor, Burgess,
Storrs, Sprague, Bartlett, Wood, Wright
and .AfaIary, are al! men of the first rate tai
ents, and excellent in debate. Mr.. Hamilton
of South.Carolina, is very anxious to become
leader Of the Opposition, but Mr.. M'Du6ie
and Mr.. Agham, are unwilling to allow him
to Gil that station. Mr.. Forsyth is a loss to
the Opposition. Mr.. p. p. Barbour will prob
ably act the part Of an independent member,
as he is much disappointed in not being run
for Speaker, instead of Mr.. Stevenson.
In the Senate, the Opposition, as a party,
possess the most talent.@~Mr. Webster, now
in point Of talent, is Messrs. Sanford, Rob
bins and BeH;-the latter gentleman, how
ever, is not very fluent in debate, but q very
sound man. Mir. Johnson, Of Louisiana, is
well acquainted with the commercial affairs of
the country, and makes this subject his princi-
pal study, and acqui;s himself very handsome
ly. Opposed TO these gentlemen, on the side
of the Opposition, is Messrs. .IazeweH,
Hayne, White, Benton, Beryien, Tyler, NJ
Lane, Smith, of South-Carolina, RoDan and
Woodbmy. The latter gentleman, is, how
ever, J~espised here by all parties, for his con-
duct in deserving the interest of his constituents,
and the Opposition would be glad to shake
him of. Yours, respectfully, o. p.

Mn. H1LL.-The Nashua IN. H. Gazette
%states, that in case General Jackson is elected
President, Mr.. Hill; Of the New-Hampshire
Patriot, is TO BIO appointed Secretary of War.
We cannot believe this, from the knowledge
we have Of the character of Mr.. Hill. We
think Mr.. ii. would prefer remaining in Con-
cord, and holding fast to the mail contracts,
by which he has become so very wealthy, and
continue to circulate his scurrilous paper TO the
good citizens of N~ew-Hampshire. No man
who will not bow to him, escapes mis- abuse.
A few years since, he abused the present Chief
Magistrate of that State, because he would
not advocate the building of the State House,
on the spot which would best suit the interest
of this renowned Editor; and now he is warm
in his praise, in the vain hope OF bringing him
into the Jackson ranks.
At one time, Mr.. Bell, the present Senator,
was an excellent man, and one of the best
of Governors" in Mr.. HIS opinion.-Now
f~orsooth, because he will not support General
Jackson, and abandon the interest of his con-
stituents, he is accused Of dishonesty in his pri-
vate ,ransa ctions, and Of political shuAling.-
But a short time since. Mr.. Hill was the bitter
opponent of Mr.. Woodbury., but since that gen.
tleman came out for Jackson, he thinks him
one of the ablest men the world ever produced.
So much for the consistency of Isaac Hill, OF
the Now-Hampshiro Patriot and State Ca
zettc.

Court OF COMMON PLEAS.
Martin S.oddayd VS.. Wheeier yHarti

snQftNt oto0UoF0 ss 4Sssss
This was an action, commenced at the last
May term of the Court, for the recovery of the
amount of check, drawn by the defendant
upon the Eagle Bank in this town, IN favour OF
the plaintiff. This action was called for trial,
on Saturday last. Mr.. whipple appeared for
the plaintiff the defendant appeared in pro-
prie persona. From the testimony introduced
by the parties it appears that sometime prcvi-
Gus TO tho late Senatorial election, in the Au-
tumn of 1926, the plaintiff did bet the defend
ant the sum of fifty dollars, that the Honorable
Asher Robbins would be elected Senator; and
the defendant bet the like sum to the contrary
Upon which the parties drew their separate
checks upon tho Eagle Bank, for the sum OF
fifty dollars each, and placed them in the hands
of a third person, to be delivered to the winning
party after the election. Mr.. Robbins was
elected senator, and the checks were delivered
to the plaintiff, who presented tie defendants
check for payment, which was refused, and
the check regularly protested.
The defence set up against this case in the
argument of the defendant, was, that tue bet
was made upon the contingency that a ballot
should be taken between Mr.. Robbins and the
other opposing candidates, and that inasmuch
as there was no ballot, as Mr.. Robbins was
elected without opposition, he was not bound
to pay the bet, and that the same should not
be recovered against him. An objection was
also made to the legality Of the contract, but
it was not insisted upon.
After argument at length by the defendant,
and by the counsel for the plaintiff, the case
was submitted to the Jury, who subsequently
delivered a verdict in favour of the plaintiff,
for the amount of the check, with interest from
the time of the protest, and the costs of suit.
