LEWISTOWN, (Del) July 9th.
81 send you a statement of our late
borough election, as | know you wish
to give the people the fullest view OF
the state of parties. On the first inst.
we had a complete trial of party strength.
The tickets for borough officers were
headed by the names of the two Presi-
Dental candidates. The result was
the Jackson ticket had thirty votes, and
the Adams ticket one hundred and tffy-
ssUsn. From the noise OF the jackson
men, we had anticipated a serious OPP
position. This town has been. and may
fairly be, considered as a sample of this
state. Through the whole Of il you will
very probably find the strength of the
Adams party in the anne proportion on
an average"

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. July IL
Travet-Ths travel to, and through
this place has greatly increased within
a few years. For sometime past, the
stage arrivals have been about 60, and
the number of passengers between $50
and 500, a week. On some days the
stages have brought more than 100 per-
sons. Five years ago only Ia stages
arrived here in a week. The number
of mails received at the post office is 81
a week.
WOOL.-We learn that the greater
part of the fine wool in Goshen, Ash
field, and other towns in that vicinity,
has been sold to Messrs. Kendall and
Russell of Greenfield, at from so to 40
cents per pound. 1T is reported that
large quantities OF good merino wool
from the state Of New-York have been
sold at the factories in Connecticut, at
from % to IS cents. 1t is believed that
the fine wool Exclusive of Saxony) sold
in New England the present season has
not averaged oyer IS cents a pound ;and
that most of the wool growers have not
received more than n dollar a head
for the trouble and expense of keeping
their sheep IL months-The destruc-
ton amoog sheep last winter aud spring
by worms in the head, scab, foot rot,
SC was unprecedented; great numbers
of the lambs also perished-in some
hocks more than half.-The malady a
mong the lambs is supposed by some to
have been caused by the eve feeding
on beach nuts, which were very abun-
dant the last season.-An intelligent
wool grover, in the western part of this
county, is of opinion that the number OF
sheep in Old Hampshire & Berkshire ID
less now than il was IL months ago.

cJ-JAcKsoN PURITY.-Tho letter from
Jackson TO Owens, (says the Reporter) was
sent by express from Tennessee, to Owens, in
Kcntucky-who sent it by express to printer
hundred miles distant. 1t was then printed
in handbills, and circulated by express. Al
though dated the 25th Of July, and first printed
nigh 200 miles from Robertson's Springs, whcro
it was written, it was sent to every County in
the State-at any rate to every Congression-
al District-bcfore the election, which COM
menced the first Monday in August. Quere.-
Who paid the expense! Owens is notoriously
n bankrupt.
Jackson wrote another electioncering letter
to ii. Daniel, which was used in his stump
speeches. We should like to see that letter
also printed. Every thing Old Hickory writes
ought to go down to posterity. AS they say
in Tennessee. he has nerer placed his name
an black and tohite, that it did not elerate
HIM IN the eyes Of his eounhymen'-[
Nashville Republican, Sept. 4. The letter TO
Daniel OF course is a splendid production, for
1t not only elevated the general, but his cor
respondent too. 1t elected him to Congress-
by all means let US have tho letter.

BENEvoLENcE.-Byth the report Of the board
Of officers Of tho Providence Cnritable Fuel So
ciety, made on Monday evening last, it appears,
that the Society has in its treasury, nearly Six
Hundred Dollars, TO be appropriated TO the
benevolent purpose Of supplying the INDECENT
Of the town, with fuel, during the approaching
winter season. A Society like this, conceived
by Charity, and carried into operation, by Phi
lanthropy, has a thousand claims on the graft
tudc and good will Of humane community,
and will, we doubt not. meet the approbating
smiles and praises Of all, who fool interested
in behalf Of the wrctchcd and distressed.
This institution was not got up TO carry on
any quixotic dcsign-it was not established to
create fund TO be applied to support n band

OF carrying on a war Of perso cuton and cx,cr-

the modes Of worship that VIC adopt and who,
but for the inovations Of desperate adventurous

ApoLoGETIcAL. We owe an apology to
our old and valued friend and correspondent,
"OBsERvER," for the omission Of his last COM
munication, and our apology, is made even at
the expense of self-moriilication. We laid it
aside, some weeks since for publication, and
by some unaccountablc neglect on our part,
il was left in place, where but for accident,
We should never have found it. Looking
through 4" Hay-staek" Of papers the other
day, which we had made in one corner Of our
office, wo happened to stumble upor the com
munication; and now, whilst we are ashamed
Of our carelessncss, we take occasion to as
sure our friend the Observer" that it shall
be published in our next. Will our cores
pondent have the goodness TO accept Of this
apology'

Our compliments TO the Editor of tho Com
mentator, published at Frankfort, kentucky
and We assure him, that what wo said of Cover
nor Desha, was derived from IN authentic
source, and was a common report when we
were in Kentucky. We never had a doubt OF
ITS correctness, and are not prepared to be-
licvc it to be inaccurate; and if the Editor Of
the Commentator, will take n little trouble
upon himself, and make few enquiries, we
have not doubt, he will find the story to be
true.

"THEoLoGICAL In the
Natchez Statesman, paper which is devoted
to the cause Of General Jackson, and Of course
hostile 10 the memory of the late Doctor
Horace Holley, because he was friend of The
Administration and Mr.. Clay, we find the fol-
lowing extraordinary and outrageous para

OF Transylvania University. The Western
Lumlnary says, that about three years prior TO
his death he became a dest and continued SO

friends that he had been Influenced 6y Pres

more indecent, vile, and false aspcrsion
was never cast upon the memory Of any man
than this, we do not hesitate 10 say that it is
base and malignant falsehood. The "West-
ern Luminary," the paper from which it is said
that the paragraph was extracted, was always
particularly devoted TO the destruction of Doc
tor Holley, and left no stone unturned which
would accelerate the event. Doctor Holley
was not deist, nor did he ever inculcate de-
istical principles. He was a liberal christian,
and Unitarian in every sense of the word,
and practised tho doctrine he believed. This
is not the first time, that he has been charged
with the propagation Of deistical opinions; tho
charge was first made by his principal opposers
in the year 1919, and was perscveringy kept
up, till the fanatics of Kentucky and Ohio,
generally got hold of it, and circulated it with
all the success they desired, and at length, sue
ceeded in prejudisng portion of the public

GTPosT CoAcHEs.--Wc refer our readers
to tho advertisement Of the Providence and
Pawtucket Post Coach Company, which will
be found in our paper OF to day, and by which
the reader will perceive, that a new system OF
polity has been established for the government
and guide Of that line Of public Post Coache
BY this arrangement it will be seen, that the
! faro between this place and Pawtucket, has
been augmented, step which the proPretors,
were compelled to adopt, to screen themselves
from actual loss; and they have been left no
other alternative they were compelled TO en-
hancc the price Of travel, or leave the road.
Moro than six months have now elapsed
since the proprfetors commenced running the
lnc-it was undertaken as an experiment, and
after having given it fair and an impartial
trial, they are satisfied. that by running ut for
mcr rates, they were daily losing money, and
now, if tho public wish to support the line, the
propretors of it hope, that they will evince
that disposition, by extending to them that
patronage, up to which they must look, or
abandon an enterprze which is Of no small
value to the citizens Of Pawtuckct and Provi-
dcnce.
AS the existence of this line of Stages, af-
fords unusual ia cities, to all who are interest
cd, and as in the getting Of it up, the proprie-
tors have evinced degree Of eDtcrprize and
zeal, worthy of commendation, we cannot but
hope that they will be sustained, and that
their former friends and patrons,wi not leave
them, because in defence Of their own inter-
ests, and for the protection OF their property,
they are compelled 10 make triaing augment
alton, TO the very nconsiderable price Of fare,
formerly demanded.
Relying on the libcrality and patronage Of
the intelligent and indugent, they have made
prepssatioas to place additional teams on the
road, and thus enable them to make their trips
moro frequent, and more convenient TO the
public. But whilst they do this, they assure
tho public, that the limo cannot bo supported
at tho former rates, and that at the augmented
prices, the business will not pay moro than six
per centum, and that they hope, that they
will now bo enabled to redeem their former
losses. New Carriages, fresh horses, and ex-
pericncod and careful drivers, have been Sc
lected, and the company, with confidence, look
to the public for support.
