"PUBLIC pRINTING.. ].

Under this head, in his last paper, Buck 2Aas evidenced manifest signs of wrath, no adoubt caused by the fear of losing the Public Printing. fit will afford Buck any consolation, we will say to him, that although we intend to be candidate for Public Printer at the ensuing session ol the Legislature, 1t is not our intention to put in BIDsfot a. We intend, at fu- ture time, to notice this subject again, when we will give our reasons why we will not 6id for the Public Printing.
 COL. ASHLEY AND HIS THREATS.
 In coneersing the other day with sIr. BURsEY, an honest, but humble citizen of our town, on the subject of tie ensuing election for Delegate to Congress, We were told by him, that Col. Ashley held his pote for S70 or S75, and that he (Asllley( proposed to him, if he would vote for Col. Seyier, he would wait with him for the mo- ney, but fine persisted in his determina- tion to VOTE for the FARMER and SOLDIER he would institute a suit.against him for the amount, the moment he cast his vote. What say you to thss ireetncn of Al ansas!
 Has II indeed, come to this. Must our wives and children De turned out of house anu s.2me, to starve, because we dare ex- efcise, according to the dictates of our constituencies, tho inestimable right of voT- -kNG!
 Mir. Bursey IS 8 poor, but industrious and worthy citizen, and has alarge family ofyoung children dependent epon Ilis la oodr and exertions for support, and the heartless man, whose name is at the head of this article, has threatened the parent of thesechildren, should he dare exercise his right of preference in voting, to sell them out of house and home, underth the Sheriff s hammer. 1t must really be a desperate cause, that would require its friends to resort to such pitiiul and con- temptiole means to support it.
 In conclusion, we would say to Col. Ash ley, desist thou grinder and oppressor q The poor, the day may not be far distan, when yourself and your children may be as poor and destitute, as the man you seek to injdre

The baltimore Republican claims a triumph TO

senate. Twenty eight Clay Electors, and twelve
jackson. These Electors will meet at Annapolis
on the 18th instant to choose fifteen Senator's
who arc to serve five years. Who can doubt tho
jackson triumph! :. But it is all of piece. The
candor OF tho Jackson Presses is remarkable

THE FRENCH TREATY

pleased with all opportunity of expressing our APP

quainted with its contents. Il it has settled our

dollars-the second by the French government a.
greeing to pay to the heirs of Denumarchas, about
$500 -noo-and the last, by its REIMBURSEMENT of
the right in consideration of our reducing the du
ties upon French wines for q term of years-we
must give all due credit TO the ability and perse-
verance of Mr.. Rives, our minister. At the same
time, we cannot attribute the attainment of the
object entirely TO the superiority of Mr.. Rves' ia
lonts diplomatst to Mr.. Galatians We are at
all times disposed TO do full Justice to the former
conference.-the inclined TO think that If
he succeeded when the latter failed, we may be
justified in supposng that the negotiation was con
Quoted under more favorable auspices, and this
without detracting in the slightest degree from the
merits of Mr. Rivcs
1t is amusing to hear the shouts of triumph of
the Administration press: Glory to Gen. Jackson
and to Mr.. Rives !! We congratulate them on the
occasion They needed something of the kind to
keep up their spirits after the recent disclosures at
