The vacant office of treasurer of the
United States has been conferred by
the president on William Clark. of Penn.

commonwealth. Nat Mi.
The cause oey the Administration. in
almost every section, is evidently gain
ing ground every day. Had the election
taken place six months ago, Gen. Jack
son in our opinion, would have SIC.
ceeded by handsome majority But
as calm reason and truth pervade the
minds of the People, he has, for the last
six months probably lost ground as
Presidential candidate, as fast as he
gained it a year or fifteen months ago.
Thisis plainly to be seen, when we look
about our own county, abroad through
the State, or through the United States.
Yet what Boosting accounts concerni ng
the jackson interest in this county
have been published at the City of
Washington, in the Albany Argus. and
all over the country, And just such &C.
counts of the success of Jackson's cause
in other places are published here
through the same false mediums--and
thus the faren is kept up 1t is only by
preconcerted aud determined resort to
misrepresentation and false eolorings,
that his cause is kept up in this State
with any tolerable appearance ofsuccess.
We have never before seen the Albany
Argus so monstously put to its rumps
to invent plausible Misrepresentation to
do away the effects of the evident signs
ofthe times" that are continually break
ing out in spite of Mr.. Van Buren's par.
ty discipline in every section Of the
country. 1t must be plain to every in
telligent observer, that the Democracy
of the State, headed by veterans in the
old Democratic School, are firmly step
ping forward in support of Mr.. Adams.
They respect General jackson as a
great and successful Military officer
they admire him as Hero in the field
but knowing him AZ be is. they tremble
at the idea of placing him at the head of
the civil and intricate affairs of the ma.

Midnight Adrenture- The Devil kill
sd!-Two crazy men, coming together,
may we'll be supposed to play variety
of pranks. Last week, in Philadelphia,
deranged negro, named Dorsey, and
deranged white man, were found, at a
midnight, n, a horse pond. They were
engaged in a jovial struggle to drown
each other, when they were prevented
By the watch. Being brought before
the Police, Dorsey acquainted the Ma.
gishats that he had actually killed the
Devil! He was employed by the Ma
sons to perform this exploit, for which
be was to receive a reward Of $500.
He demanded the cash from the Magis-
trate, who demurred to his declaration,
and in his turn required the proof.
Whereupon Dorsey stated that he and
the Devil met at horse race In the
