 Messrs Editors: Your undersigned having very recently had an opportunity of perusing the 10th No. of the State Intellgencer, with great surprise found some ironical remarks, occupying nearly CO., lumn of your paper, the signature of Mercuto and after giving them attentive perusa came to the conclusion to give them an answer, (knowing that you granted the prvlege) much for the bene- fit of Mercutio in future, he is young man, as to defend the character of Saml. w. Mardis, and sus- tain him in the estimation of tue people, who has been assailed by the malicious, erroneous, and polu- ted pen of Mercutio. Messrs Editors cannot help admiring the candor of Mercutio in the commence ment of his "essay," when he says that he is liable to err; but cannot help detesting his principles of misrepresentation, when read little further. Af- ter Mercutio has indulged himself in few hyper bolcal expressions and long strain of fascinating eloouence, he makes use of this language concern ing Mir Mardis He told them how miserable they were in suffering themselves to be borne down by a few aristocracal tyrants; he predicted their certain starvation if they longer rested supiney under their burdens he told them that Gen.

 Col. R. E. 5. Baylor.-This gentleman passed through our town on last Saturday, on his election eering campaign, he here delivered quite an eloquent address to the people, abounding in political know ledge, which concluded by summing up the whole of the different charges exhibited against him as proof to convict him of anti-Jacksonism he unequivocally denied the whole, except one charge, and as to that he said fine guilty, that he knew it not. This charge was that of boarding at an ant-Jackson house during the last session of Congress-he said that he boarded at the house of a good lady, whom he would judge to be about 60 years of age but that if she were Cay-man he was entirely ignorant of the fact, not having had much time to with the lady upon potcs-therefore he hoped the good people would not condemn him to perpetual hermi- tage for act, which although of very sinful na- ture was no crime in him to commit, he was igno- rant that he committing it at the time he did so that it was not direct derilecton of the interest of his constituents, but only piece of negligence to which the best men are liable, viz: the neglect of asking all old women, into whose company he may chance to fall, whether they were Jackson or Clay men,.
 We leave the people to judge for themselves, but for us, we do not doubt Mir Baylor's being sound Jacksonte, and whose political course entities him to the confidence of the people of Alabama.

We hardly know in what manner to treat the an- nexed article, particularly the latter part. We had thought that no editor, claiming the appellation of an American, could have had the temerity to pen such an article, so long as and judgement permitted to retain their empire As to Presi- dent Jackson and his Cabinet we feel no apprehen- sions-the Cabinet is, or will be, composed of men who will fill their respective offices with honor to themselves and to their country, and our confidence in the President IS still unshaken; and as to the reasonable and dsgracefu sentiments expressed at the conclusion, we have no fears. But we dislike to hear so frequent mention made of the dismember- ment of fthe Union and calculations of its value. It has a tendency to make us familiar with subject which should never even be thought of only with horror. A man-an American-who would coolly and deliberately utter such language, should be dri ven out from among his people as was Cain of old, and have mark placed upon his forehead that he might be avoided a deadly pestilence.
 We love the south, and sympathise in common with her citizens, for the manifold wrongs and op- pressions which are imposed upon her-but we love the Union more. We ehope to see an early repeal of the tariff; but in the event that the heavy duties articles ofsouhen consumption, should not be taken off, we are still disposed to "grunt and sweat" little longer under the weary load rather than adopt the rash and unjustifable measures advocated by some of the South Carolina politicians We would rather bear those ills have, than fly to others that lnoSv not of" Notification is too insignificant stake to put up against the existence of republics and until less hazardous theory be advanced, we shall nail our flag to the powers that be, and adopt the motto" THE UNION PRESERVED"
 From-the Columbia Telescope, June 3.
 The Cabinet is not yet formed: does it pro- mise to be one of much vgor either of intellect or action. In fact, General Jacksons influence in the nation is prostrated: he is good for nothing to the north; good for nothing to the south good for thing to the west. There no prominent men now before the people as next President but MT Clay and Mir Colhoun. The north and the west pre- fer the former: the south from the Potomac south ward, the latter but Georgia has preudices not yet conquered although her manifest interest is the with that of Virginia, the Caronas, Tennessee, Ala bama, and Mississippi The prospects of Henry Clay brighten. fine comes in, the south will absolute ly be driven in self defence to nullifcation se- cesson: and the the former measure IS adopt ed the better. Submission cannot cost South Caro- lima less than five millions of dollars year. If the Constitution is to be maintained, there must be means of stopping the progress of usurpation; are there any other, than nuliifcation secession?- We know of no other: nor do any danger in either: we prefer the former: let our enemies com pel if they think ft the latter Can any of our readers enlighten on this subject2

Eiectioneeriag- give place to the annexed communication with real satisfaction, and sincerely hope that it will constitute the first step in the pro- gress of REFORM, by which the disgraceful elec- tioneering system so long prevalent here, will be entirely discountenanced:
 The undersigned candidates, to represent the county of Madison in the next Legislature, seeing with regret the extent to which the present perni- cious system of electiOneerng carred-seeing also the evils to which it has given birth, and the bad ln- fuence which it sheds upon the morals and habits o1 those who participate in it. not less than upon the dig- ny of the elective franchise, have upon consdera- ton, determined far as Meyare cOncerned,t to make one effort to suppress system of such ruinous ten dency md to throw themselves upon the good sense of their fellow citizens for justification.
 Whilst acknowledging the right of the people to know their sentiments upon all subjects of Leglsa- tive action and avowng their readiness to give them whenever called on-they have for the purpose afOre- said solemnly pledged themselves to each other and to the public not to engage in the system of elec- tioneerng after the date of this publication-ether by riding through the county or by attending barba- cues or other public assemblies got up for purposes of eectoneering, either in person or by getting oth. CTS 60 do so for them. It is, however, understood that this prohibition does not embrace places of pub lie worship deny to the candidates the privilege of visiting Huntsville, or any other place where bu sness may call them.
 Should any ofthe undersigned infringe this volun tary agreement, it is hoped that it will meet with stern and overwhelming rebuke from the people d large; as it will furnish strong evidence that the in dvidual, thus infringing it. is unworthy of their con fdence. VIM. ACKLEN,

dtEAREWARD.--RUNAWAY

SlD@UVp from the subscriber on the 31st May last, two NEGRO FELLOWS, BEN and ELY. Ben is a low yellow boy aged about 19 years, round face, and easily embar- rassed if closely interrogated; he is about five feet eight or ten inches high. Ely is slim black fellow, nearly six feet high, and is about 28 years of age, very artful, and insolent,
 if together. I have no doubt they will :-.ake for East Tennessee, to the neighborhood of Samuel Eskridge's, near Kingston, as the yell low boy came from there, and has previously attempt ed to get back. It may be probable the black fellow may aim for Pulaski county, Georgia. will give the above reward for s,id negroes if taken out of the State, and twenty dollars if taken in the State for both, or ten dollars each, and all reasonable ex- penses paid.

Legitimate Drama-neo odition.-The following account is the latest edition of the legitimate drama in Paris:-
 At Franconi's splendid theatre, which may be termed the Astleys of Paris, but in much higher re- putation Tn point of fashion, piece of a singular kind is attracting crowds every night, from the Du- chess to the Grsette, and from the Count to the De- crottour. It is called "The Lions of Mysore" and the principal performers are, lion two lionesses a tlger zebra, ltangoroon, aided by chorus of monkeys, apes mandrills, parrots, and parroquets, to which two enormous boas constrictors act coru- phees These are real animals of their full natural slze brought to this astonishing docy by MT Mar tin, the proprietor of the menagerie. The first act informs us that chieltain, overthrown in rebellion had been condemned by the sultan of Mysore to lose hs tongue, and with his wife and children driven in- to the terrific forest. Here the whole party are hos ptably received by lion and oncss, wlio surren- der theIr cave for their accommodation, and daily hunted for them They are attacked by other ani- mals; the1r magnanmous hosts beat them off. In the second act, the sultan is seen hunting through the forest, every tree of which is alive with some specimen oftropical animation. Enormous boas are seen gliding through the trees, and bisons, with others from the back ground A child strays-is pursued by tiger-the poor infant rushes down to the circus-is iollowed-it staggers and fals the
 tiger springs upon his prey and carries off, but is intercepted by the lion and compelled to fly. Other children convoluted in the massy folds of the bo- as put tne protectors agan vanqulsh the lntruders In the third act, the unfortunate cbeltian, having been taken prisoner, is compelled to fight with flu rious lloness, which, after desperate struggle he conquers; and the piece terminates with splendid procession by torch light, in which the victor and ynnqushed walk side by side, the other animals fol- lowing, not disturbed by the blaze of the fire works and the thunder of the musical instruments. De- scrption can but aintly portray the interest excited by thi exhibition in which the illusion is supported with degree of truth that is absolutely painful but every precaution has been taken to prevent acc. dents
