nf this state in The Presidential question, to cau,,
them against this excess of credulty. This sfo,,
is not. has no, been, and will not be, for jackson.
his ciig. by tint of the coalition between Mr.. V.n
Buren and Mr. Clinton and their respective na,t
xan-, and of-money lavislly expended upon, and
base appeals made to, a foreign population, is-we
speak this deliberately, and desire that it may ba
remembered. In the interior of this state tha
question OF the Presidency was not except in some
three q: four instances, raised at the election In
no one of the river counties, except Columbia, Al.
bany and Rensselaer, was II asated-and Of twse
Columbia elected Administration men, Albany par.
ties Of each ticket, and Rensselaer, opposilionisls
From Albany 10 Buffalo the question was not raised
except in the election for Successor to Cohercss Of
MIR. Evans, and there MIR Tracy the administration
candidate was elected almost without a show of sun
port to the Jackson man opposed to him. Nol i,
there the least probability that in the whole western
part Of this state, one single electoral vote can be-
had for General Jackson. We repeat with conf.
dence unimpaired by any recent occurrence, that
the yeonanry Of this state cannot be cosxcd norip
trigued nor caucused. nor driven under any crcum.
stances into the support Of General jackson or the
Presdency--nor into appreciation uf the manifest
combination, for the advancement Of private views
and interests, between old and inyetelate political
opponents.
That great efforts are making however, and will
! continue 10 be made. to persuade the people that
they are for Jackson, is certain. These must be
met calmly. steadily and firmly. Organization
frequent aud regular interchange of opinions among
the friends of the administration appeals, tispas
sonate but vigorous and searching, to the good sense
and patriotism of The pubiic--these and all other
honorable and proper means of sustaining and adj.
yancing good cause, are required at their hands,
and success must wait upon the work.

Persian Heroism.- Twelve men had been
robbed and murdered under the walls OF Shl-
raz. The perpetrators of this atrocious act
could not for long period, be discovered: but
Kerreem Khan deeming this occurrence SO
deeply in furious to that impression OF security
and Justice which it was the labor OF his lite to
establish, commanded the officers OF justice to
persevere in their search till the Offenders were
deter ted, threatening them and others who had
heard the cries Of tie murdered men with ven
geance, unless they Effected discovery, which
he considered essential to his own reputation.
After some months had elapsed, it was discov-
cred that small branch of Kerreem CHAINS
own tribe OF Zend, at that time encamped near
Shiraz, were the murderers. Their guilt was
clearly proved, and all who had been aCtully
engaged in the murderwere sentenced to death.
Powerful intercession was made that some at
least should be pardoned, but the prince had
vowed every man should suffer, and their be-
ing ofhis own favorite tribe made hlnmore in
exorabe. They had he said, brought disgrace
on him as their sovereign and as their chief
and could not be forgiven. When the prison,
ers were brought before him to receive SEN
tence, there was youth amongst them about
twenty years Of age, whose appearance interest
ed every spectator: but their anxiety was In
creased to pain when they saw the father OF
this young man rush forward and demand be-
fore they proceeded to the execution to speak
to the prince. Permission was granted, and
he addressed him as follows: "Kcrreem Khan,
you have sworn that these guilty men shall die,
and it is Just; but |, who am not guilty, come
here to demand boon of my chief. My son
is young, he has been deluded into crime; his
life is forfeited, put he has hardly tasted the
sweets of life; he is just betrothcd in marriage;
come to die in his stead: be merciful! let an
old worn out man perish, and spare youth
who may long be useful to his tribe; let him
live to drink Of the waters and till the ground
of his ANCESTORS" Kcrreem Khan is stated to
have been greatly moved by the old mans APP
peal: he could not pardon the offence, having
sworn on the Koran that all concerned should
be put to death; and with feelings very differ
ent from our ideas of justice, but congenial to
those Of chief Of a tribe, he granted the ia
theirs prayer, and the old man went exultingly
to meet his fate. While all around were filled
with pity, his son, wild and distracted with
grief was loud in imploring the prince to re-
verse his decree, to inflict on him that death
which he meri,ed, and to save the more valu-
able life Of his aged, devoted and innocent pa
rent-Sketches Of Persia.
