JACKSON MoBIN NEW. ENGLAND.

We regret TO announce 10 our readers, the
occurrence of a Mob in New England but it
was, as might have been expected, Jackson
Mob, headed and led on by Jackson manly
| an individual who bears the veEeraied name OF
Decatur; and, what is still more Notifying, d
brother of the lamenled Stephen Decatur. The
occurrence took place in Portsmouth, y. n
and our attachment to the STATE makes US re-
public, and 1t is only necessary for US 10 record
the facts, as we collected them from the pa
pers. The town OF Portsmouth very unexpect.
eddy gave Jackson majority, and it appears
that after the polls were closed, Mr.. Decatur,
The Naval Store Keeper, at the Navy Yard, gave
a treat at his house. Ill also appears that al a
late hour of the night, large number of the
persons who had been so feasled, issued from
Mr.. Decatur's house, were arranged in front of
it in procession, and from thence proceeded,
with.martial music, 10 the residence Of the Hon.
lchaboG Bartlett Repre- sentative in Congress
from this State;-upon arriving at this spot, il
appears that the mob first attempted to enter
the house, and upon finding il fastened, they
knocked and kicked against it, to the great a.
larm of The ladies within;-tha, then giving up
the attempt to enter the house, they vented
heir rage In shouts, threats, imprecaiions and
insults, and at length Withdrew. The number

says the Portsmouth Journal, did no, fall short
Of one hundred.
The worst par, Of this unfortunate and most
disreputable business remains TO be told The
mob, on leaving Mr.. Barlleu's house, passed
lighthouses of two very respectable clergymen,
the Rev. MIR. Putnam and Rev. Mr.. Burroughs
We know Of mo individuals in this community
more es,imable than these gentlemen; we know
ofnone who are more conscientious in The dis.
charge Of their respective duties; and yet, the
fact is almost incredible, these gentlemen were
abused and insulted by the scoffings and hur.
rahs Of this Jackson mob, brcause, in the hon.
est and conscientious discharge of their duty,
as members of the School Committee of the
town Of Portsmouth, they could not consent to
thei appointment Of Mr.. Abner Greenleaf,
Jacksonian, as teacher in our Public Schools
Such is the effects Of the Jarkson spiri, in

NORMA
STATE OF THE MARKETS.

RUE RUIN, & ANTI-FoGMATlcS IN GENERAL
The business in these staple articles has beer
very animated during the past week, and seve'
ral extensive Wholesale dealers have made hea'
w investments. The demand continues ST, ady
and Sigh, rise may be expected, unless large
iinpor,ations should arrive.
c.su-We have lately heard considerable
ironiry for his article, and found the supply
Insufficient Tor he demand. A few parcels oil
asrros sd brands would meet With very ready
sale.
CoSsclENcE.-This article mas al been bought
Nd on speculation, and there is none now in
Grs' hands.
DENeuE -The crop Of The present season
has aeep ysrY ahulaaal, and auE NAL elr Iat.aeE
that specuTaIors are rather shy oil making IN
vrstments, and the stock on hand moves eli
heavily.
Dusr.-Since the late dry weather, this ar
,icie has been rising. and heavy lots SO off dai.
ly a, a considerable advance.
HoNEsTY.-There are a few stale lots Of the
old crop still on hand; but probably Of an indif-
rerenr quality, as it is generally refused by the
dealers; while strictly prime of the present
Years growth is much inquired after.
IyDUsrRY.-Scarce; prices nominal.
MoRALIrY Some very pretty samples have
been shown US within the las; few days.. but
there is little or no inquiry for the article, and
me stock on hand is interior. The traders are
afraid TO invest, and the only demand is for
home consumption.
NEws--Ths market is quite bare Of the ar
,icle, at present, and The dealers must stop, un-
less soon supplied BY fresh importations. Some
attempts have been made to supply the present
demand by domestic manufacture; but they
nave in general failed. A speculation was en-
rered into by he Depii attached 10 our concern,
FOR ;he supply Of few leading articles Of prime
necessity: but his machinery blew up in at
tempting to forge Turkish battle, and the en-
,erprise was abandoned.
PoLITlcs.-rhere have been but few trans
actions in this article since the ist Of October,
and the prices are merely nominal.
PArR,oTlsM.-The late Tariff produced some
animation in our market, and large lots were
taken up on speculation by dealers, who calcu-
lated on a scarcity, in consequence OF The check
on foreign impor,alions. II has been found,
however, tina, supply Of domestic growth, iu'-
lv equal to the demands ofour market, has been
furnished, aud the article now goes off readily
at old rates.
SupscRIBERs.-The present crop comes in
very freely, and meets with steady demand.
Old rates are fully main,a aimed
ADVERTISEMENTS columns are rather
bare Of the article at present; Yet heavy con-
signments are expected. Savannah Mercury.

any one study the history of the puritans,

even in worldly matters? Look
at DR.. Witherspoon in the continental con-

Even with regard to the best method of

Ministers of the present day know as we'll
