The Baltimore Patriot gives US the follow
ing intelligence Of late political events in Penn
sylvania:
TnE BEoINNING !-Pcunsylvania is now be-
ginning TO move with effeet--hcr strong hold
for Jackson, where six months ago, an Admit
uistration man dared hardly 10 lisp his senti-
mrnts, has given wa. and has molly como out
in favor of the Administration aud the Ar1eri-
can system. The great county Of LANCASTER,
after very sharp contest, in which the Jack
sonites did lhtir utmost, has just elected 10 the
Legislature, by about two hundred majority,
GEORGE HoFFMAN, esq the administration Can
d;daie, to fill the place of deceased Jacksonite.
But the good work has not stopt here-ADAMs
COUNTY in the same state, has followed suit and
elected JAMES McSHERRv, esq TO the Legisla-
ture, over the Jackson candidate, by more than
500 majority. The work goes bravely on-the
same ahimating spirit is running through the
state, and the re-action in public sentiment is
known TO be as,onishingly great. The same
NAV be said with the most perfect truth OF Viz
ginia aud North Carolina.
The things that will be developed between
this and the Mes Of March will astound the Jack.
son patty, and give entire confidence to the
friends Of the Administration Of the certainty
Of success, and cause those upon The fence TO rush
at once TO the s,ronses, side.
The conclusion of Mr.. Clay's Address is
given below, in consequence Of the accidental
omission Of several sentences in the latter part,
as published yesterday:
Intimidation Of a representative ofthe people
in the discharge OF solemn trust! That is
the last day of the Republic on which such
means shall be successfully employed and pubs
licly sanctioned. Finding me immoveable by
Battery or fear the last resort has been 10 crush
me by. steady and unprecedented calumny.
Whether this final aim shall be crowned with
success or not, depends upon the intelligence
of The American People. make no appeal 10
their sympathy. invoke OILY stern justice.
II truth has no, los. It's force, reason lis sway,
and the fountains Of justice their purity, the de-
eision must be suspicious. With trm reh-
anee upon the enlightened Judgment Of the
public, and conscious Of the zeal and upright
ness With which l have executed every trust
committed TO my care, await inc event WIN
out alarm OF apprehension. Whatever II may
be, NV anxious hopes viii continue for the sue
cess Of human liberty, and of those high inter-
es,s Of national policy to the promotion Of
which The best exertions of my life have been
faithfully dedicated. And my humble, but
earnest prayers will be unremitied that all
danger may be aver,ed from our common coun-
try; and especially, that our union, our liber.

cheering exception from the operation OF that
fatal decree, which the voice Of all history has
hitherto uniformly proclaimed

editor of that work, which may be interesting at the
present time.
Fascination Etectaal Preventive of Varioloid
About year ago, had prepared communication
for your paper, stating several facts which led me
to conclusion, the correctness or faacy Of which
may be of some Importance to mankind. Wishing
to add further confirmation to my views Of the pow
of vaccinations another year was allowed for the
purpose of observation, and every new fact adds
weight to the sentiment there expressed, must ask
Of you the favor to give it to the public. have re-
served the facts and arguments for another oppor-
unity, and am desirous Of giving at present only the
conclusions to which they have led.
In the first place, it has appeared undoubted that
there exists in great majority of the human fam
lily greater less natural predisposition to small
4 pox "a degree of inhammabty which the small
pox infection kindes into flame.
