JACKSONISM AGAIN /!

The Western Times of Ohio informs us that at
Jackson meeting near Portsmouth in that state, a
friend of the Hero expressed his solemn uOish-'that
the people of the United States, who are now dvid-
ed between Adams and Jackson, nigh FIGHT until
it was ascertained which the strongest party
ANOTHER f!
And further, a. worshipper of the idol, living but
few miles from Portsmouth, declared that 6 if
Jackson was not elected President by the people
next fall, he would be one who would take up arms
and 60 to the Federal City, and put him in the
Presidential Chair at the Point of the bayonet.
We have Heroite of this description here in
Wilmington. sA
AND ANOTHER!!!
Others have declared in that section of the coun-
try and elsewhere, near Portsmouth, that they
perfectly satisfied Of the fact of Jackson's untness
for the office; but that this thing of Republic is
"a mere bubble--that the sooner it is exploded
the better--and sto put an end to such nonsense,
they would support him believing that to be the
only certain method of accomplishing its overthrow,
and laying the way open for the formation of gov
! ernment possessing within itself greater degree
of energy and decision.
QUAKER MEETING.
! young girl from the country, lately on visit
to Mr.. H. Quaker was prevailed on to accompa-
ny him to meeting. Ithappened to be silent one,
none of the brethren being moved by the spirit to

house with his young friend he asked her.-"How
dost thee like the meeting to which she pettishly
replied Like it! why can sense in it, to 60
and sit for whole hours together without speaking
a word it is enough to kill the devil. Yea my dear,
rejoined the Quaker, that is just what we wanted.

A NOVELTY IN THE DOCK.

We had the pleasure of seeing in the Dock ycster-
day the hull of large new schooner which has been
recently built at Bottoms Mouth on James river
This the first vessel of any consequence that has
been built this river since the laurch of the BRIG
Jane Coutts, which vas built at Rockets about IS
years ago. This schooner which has been chrisie1cd
the CHEsrEHr;ELp, built for sea service the best
James River white oak which is little inferior to live
oak and put together in the most substantial manner
Her model is much approved ofby experienced Judges
She vas built BY Mr. Alpha Edson and has been pur-
chased by some OF our encrprising citizens who in
tend fitting her out for the New York trade.
1t has long been matter of surprise to those who
know and can duly appreciate the advantages of James
river for ship-buidirg, that this business has been
overlooked b. citizens we'll as BY northern
p-huldcrs-who have not even availed themselves
OF the advantage ofprecuring the excellent white oak
so admirably calculated for shp-building with which
the banks Of the James and its tributaries especially
the ChickahoGIny, abound, and which might be OBJ
tanned at less eXpence than it costs them for much in
feror timber elsewhere.
The hull Of the Chesterfield, With ruddCr bowsprit
deck, hatchcs pump, &c. cost only $4,000. She will
stow 1000 barrels, and measures leo tons. We be-
ieve the northern ship-budcrs would not construct
vessel Of this description for the same price. Their
usual charge we understand is 90 to % dollars ton
so per cent advance the cost ofthe wood e. iron
So cheap good timber here that the wood and iron
for this vessel cost only about 1000 doilrs We have
no doubt she might be sold at advance to the north
May we not hope that some Of onr entcrprising ci-
items, awakened to sense of their true interest BY
=
this successful attempt at shipbuding the James,
sill turn their attention to the subject and sustain the
attempt thus happily begun, until the sight Of vessel
on the stocks Will cease to be novelty OH our river
and tie business of ship-bulding become hero, as it
has to the north, source private and public wealth
and pride.

Fhe damages on Foreign Bills OF Exchange have
been heretofore regulated by the States. This has,
however, been supposed TO be matter Of such impor-
tance, and SO intimately connected with commerce.
that the rate ought to be general, and fixed by Con-
gross; and petitions Of respectable merchants have
boon preferred to that body II is thought the rate
Of damages is too high and operates inuriousy on
his country. The following communication, from
gentleman Of New York to his friend in this City dis
closes an important fact on that subjcct-.Ndt. Int.
a fact came to my knowledge a few days ago, IN
relation TO Bills Of Exchange, which beg leave to
communicate. A native American merchant having
On acknowledged balance in the hands Of Liverpool
house, drew for the same n part Of IT, but before
his bill reached Liverpool, the drawces failed. The
bill was returned under protest, and the American
merchant paid the damages, 20 per cenum, the then
rate, two three years ago, and which went into the
pocket Of British Agent, who was the holder Of the
bill. On proving his claim before tho assirnccs in
England, thot for damages wasreicctcd.

bic merchants, and therefore, be proved at any
