lam gra,ifed, from the observations made at
market this morning, that that IS made the ques-
ton among our citizens. What! said one, shall
respectful memorial from some hundreds of the
people be showed aside. not even read in Council
-firo,ca under the table, because, fOrSOOth,
some of our regents dislike the dog, and others
of them utter the stale cry Of "mad dog."
Il is pleasing to perceive the renovation of such
revolutionary feeling among the good citizens
Of Alexandria, say revolutionary, for 1t was
from like contemptuOus course of conduct to
the memorials Of the then Colonies, BY the Par
lament of Great Britain, for redress OF their

This Voter must have poor opinion Of
nov sensbities, if he thinks that the idea of the
hydrophubia does not impress me with horror;
but such an appeal to our fears and sympathies is
artfully begging the question Let me put it
naked and home to him-Why should the citi-
zens of Alexandria be taxed in quadruplc ratio
for dog more that those of Washington are,
whose feelings as to hydrophobia must be equal
" alive? How and when did the Council ex-
press their opinion, because ,cas his, that the
town was no place for dogs, and very wisely re-
fused to reduce the taxi" Does this Mentor Of
the Hon. Town Council assume himself as the
sole organ thereof. and thus PREJUDICE question
that was never brought fairly before them-nerer
roted upon? trust he is not Jackson man,
that would thus dictate to his fellow-citizens. 9
If had not been so Schooied about Burns,

from the bard:

But keek thru every other mar,

Reports have been circulated some day

Reports have been circulated some DAYS
past in this vicinity, that case of Small
Pox or Varioloid had occurred in this town
but we are happy to state that the rumor is
unfounded, and there is no cause for alarm
on the subject. The subject of the case
was young child of Lew A. Dowcy, that
has been sick for several days with the
Chicken Por, as Is now generally supposed
Fears were at first entertained that it might
prove to be the Small Pox or Variolod, and
measures were taken to prevent its spread
ing. The child is now convalescent, and the
excitement has subsidized. We have receiv-
ed the following communication on the sub
ject from the Selectmen:
Mr.. EprToR-Presuming the public will ex-
pect some statement in your paper respecting
the contagious disorder existing In this town,
am directed by the Selectmen to inform you
that by the advice Of the visiting Physicians,
they have removed the distractions on Front
street, as they do not consider there is any dan
ger Of the disease spreading. Only one case
has occurred, and the Selecmen have good rea-
son to hope that it will prove only a severe
case of the Chicken Pox

Correspondence of the Spy.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 81.
The National Convention now sitting in
this city is composed of more than fire hun
dred delegates, representing thirteen States
and one District, nearly all of whom are in
attendance. They appear to be fully aware
of the Importance of the business which has
called them together, of the dangers with
which the vital interests of the nation are
threatened, and of the necessity Of mutual
concession, and united eounsels, in order to
preserve the policy on which our present
prosperity is based. Party politics appear
to be forgotten, and minor considerations to
be sacrihced to the paramount obligation
to consult the general good Of the whole.
II this spirit continues to prevail, as ! be-
lleve 1t will, and the members of the Con-
ve1tion go home, with determination to
exert themselves in disseminating the mass
OF valuable information, which the assem-
blage OF so many men,-many of them ofsu-
perior intellectual endownlents, and near
ly all of them highly intelligent-asse
bled Tor such purposes cannot fail to elicit,
great good will undoubtedly ensue. Many
reports ofCemmittees on very important sub
jects will have to be made TO Il general
Committee to sit between this time and the
session ofCongress. This will! be necessa-
ry, in consequence Of the impossibility, at
the present time, Of obtaining the precise
information which is necessary.
The members of the Convention have
been much surprised at the extent to which
1t is found on mutual consultation that the
manufactures of various descriptions are
already carried on. 1t is estimated that the
article of Hats and Bonnets alone amount
to more than the whole foreign exports of
the country! and measures are in train to
obtain such statistical information as will
most conclusively, demonstrate to the peo-
pie ofthese States, the vast Importance Of
our domestic manufactures and internal
trade, when compared with foreign com
merce, and thus satisfy them that the pro-
lection which has always been awarded to
the latter, SHOULD also be continued to the
former.

FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY.

Mr.. Edltor,-The remarks of your cor
respondent A, in the last Spy, on the in
consistency of the Jackson party, seem to
ne unanswerablc. The unprincipled scrib-
bleIs of the Jackson paper here mny say
whatthey please-facts are stubborn things,
and cannot be gainsayed. Did not the
manifesto sent forth under the name Of
the Worcester address, promise the labor
ing classes relief from professional aristoc-
racy, and then hold up to them for their
support men who owe all their supposed
consequence and influence to professional
gains? Was the nomination of Jonas L.
Sibiey and Isaac Davis, 1.-THE man who is sell
dom known to write his name without put
ting nfter it Esq. y in accordance with the
principles uvowed before the people by
those aspiring demagogues?
But this is not the only case of inconsist-
ency on the part Of these hollow-hearte Il
hankerers for Office. The sapient editor of
the Republican, the knight ofihe ruefuL coun,-
tendnce, has long been laboring to cypher
out the amount of the State expenditures /:
column after column of fgures has he mar
shalled to prove that the salaries Of our
Judges. and other responsible officers, are
too great-but mind You, not word is said
about Uncle Sans men-not word about
the fue thousand dollars received by The
Collector OF Boston--not word about the
nest of bloodsuckers pampered by the Gen
eral Government in the Boston Custom
House, where men who were too proud Ia
make frugal livelihood Ivy their own in.
dustrv, nre now paid ttro or three thousand
dollars year from the peoples money
Not word about all this 4: the disinteresteO
editor of the Republican can make jour.
ney to Washington to obtain an office with
salary OF itco thousand dollars for his disiirl
guished friend Estabrook, to reward him fo
his hurras; hut the payment of barely al
adequate compensation FOR urduous labor
10 our State officers, disturbs his cquanimit,
and renders him mighty patriotic
Is i, possible, Mr.. Editor, that an intelii
