Nashville Wing which we received yesterday
contains the following notice from Mr.. Hen

that state, to the editor Of the Wing:
81 have seen in the Murfreesborough Courier
an invitation which has perhaps been also
copied into your paper, for me to run as an
Elector in favor Of Gen. Jackson in this Dis.
trct With this request decline complying

I. l do not consider General ia ckson quail
fed TO preside over the affairs of these United
States.
2. His whole course OF life denotes a wan
of capacity and deposition adapted to civi
preferment.
8. I do not consider a man who would mo-
submit to any rule but his own will, and wht
had been in tho habit Of violating all orders
and ia,rs, when conflicting with his incIna
tions, fit TO govern others.
4. do not believe that Gen. Jackson, in

" Mr.. KNOWLES ADDREss.-We have
perused with regret and modification tho Ad-
dress delivered al Boston, on the 4th Of July,
by the Rev. JAMES d. KNOWLES. The SEN
timents which Mr.. Knowles has expressed
are but second edition Of those of Or. Ely.
The Union of churches, (says Mr.. Knowles,)
"will hereafter regulate political power, IN
THIS AND EVERY OTHER COUNTRY.
The timc is coming when our Offices will be
peace, and our exactors righteousness. 1t will
then be considered almost As ENORMOUS AN
INCONSISTENCY TO ALLOW AN IRRELro-
IoUs MAN TO EXERCISE THE FUNCTIONS
OF MAGIsTRAcY OR LEGISLATION among q
christian people as to suffer him to ascend tho
sacred DESK
Such doctrine needs 10 comment. We
hope those who have heretofore advocated re-
igious celebrations will pause and reflect what
they will lead to.

- strongly reeurtd srd d carefully seni~d All This
Gaptain Child, s0U, thought he saw, and Ire
therefore did not hesitate to gtve reoets< for the
or and contents, tho whole amount Of which vas
several thousand dollars he took the box, immediate.
v, into his possession, and despatched his aeward
with il, to the ship. Upon the strength Of this ship
nent, Swar,s obtained a credit for q considerable
amount and among others, borroweda sum of money
Of Captain Child. Soon after the sailing OF the
Gratitude this Judge Of Israel lck Rhoe-island for
she south-his board bill, well as all other debts
which he had contracted, being left unpaid. On tho
arrival Of the ship in Savannah, tho captain sought
in vain for the man who was TO receive his charge;
no one knew any thing of nd no one appeared to
C. aim il; asd as a matter Of course, came back to
this port with the ship This fact being known at
Providence, aud il being asccraincd that he had
insured the box for about hall It's alleged value his
creditors came TO to conclusion from this circun,-
stance, that it Of sufficient value TO their
demands one Of their number, therefore, btaned
a writ, and came down for the purpose Of making an
attachment. Captain G. however, by consent touch
ed tho box first in legal way, and the sheriff took
j, into his hands and il opened. Among pack
uges neatly put up, with glass Ornaments tied upon
tho outside a sample of,heir contents, was found
the identical tin case into which Capt. Child sup
posed he had tho douboops put-but 10 ! the
metal had gone back its aaiive minc or it had un
dorgone change as w"Rder'u as II was curious, Tor
the space formerly occupied by the gold was now
Glicd with epson salts Que after another OF the
packages were now opened, when instead of jewory,
thero appearcd pair Of stockings, there neckcoth,
and anon a pair Of fanciful trowscrs rather the
worse for wear, and occasionally n towel bearing
aha uamo of some landlord who had been fortunate
a. " obtain his custom! And as these things lay in
confusion around the box that formerly contained
thor both sheriff and creditor ready to sxclaim,
like tho Roman mother
"7he,e are my je,oeis."
So u appeared tha, tho box for which Captain Child
had givon tho valuable receipt, was hardly worth a
s;xpencc: Ahd Mosos Swarts was, beyond the shad-
ow Of \ doubt, n calculating VILLAIN.

At Chepaehet, R. I. the firing Of guns, a
numerous and we'll arranged military and civil
procession, appropriate exercises at the
Church where the Declaration was read by
Mr.. Mowry l.. Peckham, and an oration de-.
livcred by Mr.. Riley Phettcplace, and cheer
ful dinner at Eddv's Hotel, constituted the
ceremonies Of the day which went of to uni
versal satisfaction.
1t Thompson Connecticut, there was the
best celebration held in the state. The ora

LIGHrNIS0.--An erroneous impression
with rcspec, to the danger persons are in dur
ing thunder tempest, evidently prevails gen.
orally, among people who arc unacquainted
with the nature Of electricity. This is by no
means unnatural, for associating the idea Of
thunder and Lightning with the discharge of a
loaded gun is found very common every where
among those who are accustomed to fire arms,
Philosophy will however clearly evinco that
there is little or no similarity between them.
1t is true that the sound and effect sometimes
! are nearly the same, and this circumstance is
calculated to misiead. The dissimilarity con-
sists in this, that ball generally takes a strait
course according to tho direction in which the
gun is pointed and continues ill il is brought
up by some solid substance which it cannot
penetrate or the force Of tho powder is entirely
exhausted. The electric fluid has by repeated
| experiments been found uniformly to follow
taat course where it is most strongly attracted
By particular substances containing properties
which from some unknown reason always serve
as conductors. These substances are too gen.
orally known TO require Of us a particular men,
ton. For this reason, persons havo moro than
onco escaped the effects Of lightning by the
mere circumstance Of having clothing about
them which were Of materials usually denom-
mated non conductors. Recently case ofths
kind occurred in this vicinity when a man and
his wife were seated a; the table and tho chairs
in which they sat were split to pieces by light
ming though both Of them escaped uninjursd.
Tho fact IL. tho nearer we rot TO a strong elec.
trio conductor which leads in direction from
us, tho more safety va are in, provided we do
not touch IL. With common precaution in
tempest persons may render their situations as
safe os they would be in battle behind an I'M
penotrabIe rock. Lightning may change its
course an hundred times in going a single rod
notwithstanding its velocity, according to the
number of attractive substances that happen to
be near its way. Its course is like any other
fluid. as for instance, water which is always
found to run down hill, aud il proceeds in its
regular and natural channel precisely in the
samo manner
We do not make these remarks under sup
position that any Of our readers are ignorant

ron THE LITERARY CADET.

Ifr. Editor.-I saw a paragraph in your
last paper, stating that the Hon. NEHEMIAH
II. KNIGHT, had declined a reelection to the
Senate Of the United Statos. The authority
which you quoted, was the editor Of the Jour-
nal, and would ask permission through your
columns to inquire what authority Col. Rivers
had for making such statement. Was he
authorised from Mr.. Knight, or was it done
without any authority at all, and for the pur-
pose of giving that gentleman to understand,
that he (Col. Rivers) should oppose his election.
This is question should wish to have an
swered. A FREEMAN.
Tho above communication was received
some days since, from gentleman residing in
the south part Of the State, with request that
it might be published, request which we felt
disposed to decline, until we received a second
note, when we concluded to give it publicity.]

While in this town, he was received with hos
pitality by all with whom he became acqaint-

considerable amount, (Which no took vsry'ex-

was displayed on various occasions. His dress
was costly and neat, and if he had lived up to
the profession which he made, and settled with
US, he would havo been cordially received by
all.

Haskell sort of a genius has published the fol-

FELLow-CITIzENs-Bo. in a land of lib
erty, and accustomed from infancy to speak
my mind freely, it will not be expected that I
should apologize, for offering myself as can
didate for Governor at the ensuing election.
As know of no constitutional objection, to
my holding the office, except my not getting
votes enough, shall make every reasonable
exertlon to remove that difficulty; but if fail,
shall still stick to the anvil, at the old stand,
where my friends and the public generally,
may have their work done at the shortest no.
tice. For my purity and patriotism, would

few men in the latitude and longitude Of In

who can even handle a sledge with more abil-
hy. Presuming that the public would like to
know my political sentiments, l shall speak
ooiuiy Vi sucn as 1 tnlnk VIII not lnlure my
popularity. In the first place, l am strongly
in favor of myself If elected, l shall claim
all the money the State allows, and also tho
privileges and profits Of treating and trading

on the Presidency, have not yet made up my
mind; but as l intend not to be outman na Qod

the subject of rail roads and canals, my opin-
ions are strongly in favor Of tho former, for il
while Governor, l could manage to get the
blacksmh's work of rail road, it would keep
me busy the rest Of my life.
As l do not expect to make a very great
Governor, shall not be caught over tho

Indiana, in the Tavern Registers. II am
elected, my shop and tools will be for rent on

Mr.. HATHAwAr's ToAsr.--A most ludi-
crous scene took place at tho table, on tho
celebration Of the Fourth Of July in Fall Rv-
er, which furnishes ample proof Of the seht
ments en.ertuined by the Intelligent AMI enter
prizing citizens Of that manufa curing village,
towards tho present Administration. The
above mentioned gentleman being called on
for toast, arose and gave the following:
"Johm Quincy .4dams- May he have leave
to retro to tho peaceful hills Of Quincy, and
like Nebuchadnezzar, eat grass"
As an appropriate index to Mr.. HIS wisdom,
those present at the table turned their glasses
bottom up,Dards, instead Of responding 10 the
sentiment by tho "usual sign," while tho mu
sicinns inoerted their instruments, and, we be-
lieve, struck up the tune Of
"f.css bead than tail,
Less ballast ti.n sail,
And round e.,e goes and donn size goes.'

HAYTI.-A letter from Cape Haytien, da-
ted June 7, received at the office Of the Balti-
more Patriot, gives gloomy picture Of the
affairs of that Island, both political and COM
mercial. Want Of wisdom in the government,
the writer considers the primary cause Of its
embarrassments. "We already" says the
writer, " lose fifty per cent. on our remittances,
and make from about twenty five to thirty
upon our sales. Yet our Hayten rulers, IL,
their Uisdon,, have come to the following
sha kles, viz: II has been enacted, from nnu-
merable considerations, tina. half of all duties,
after certain period, shall be paid in bills on
Paris, in favor of Monsieur Lafitte, the rate OF
Exchange to ba determined hereafter, and
that, in consideration Of these measures, the
august government Of Hayti promises not to
purchase coffee, and to suffer it to be purchas-
ed by those who have funds in the country. '**'
Another measure of profound judgment
follows: Orders will shortly be issued to form
oil foreigners into a corps Of" Guards Nat
iOndL." 1t is pretty certain that in a few
weeks the above measure Of government will
90 into effect, and tho time has been so short
since the decree has been issued, that we all
will find ourselves in tho greatest difficulties
respecting receiving any new business, or in
closing that already on our hands. Ruin
stares every body in the face, and it will be
impossible for any one to do business. There
are no bills to be bought at this time, at any
rate. The merchants at Port an Prince have
made manly stand against this measure, and
will be supported by those in Cape Haytien
Should this policy Of the Government be con.
tlnued, we shall have to leave the Island"
