sutute In fhliadelphia have nau a Sredt eAh'o''
ton of American Manufactures. The display Is
spoken Of as being uncominonly rich and elegant.
The fabrics Of cloth and the product of the loom
generally, were worthy of the increasing skill OF
our manufacturers; and, indeed, the specimens
OF all kinds furnished for the exhibition, were
calculated to give the beholder the most favorable
ideas of the importance and extent of this great
branch Of our national prosperity. Chief Justice
Marshall attended the exhibition. and expressed
himself delighted with what he saw. The cor
respondent of the New York Courier aud Enqui-
rer says, s. The Free Trade Convention was in
vited. Many of them went. ! saw several OF
them examining the fine cloths made OF Ameri-
can wool. "Is it possible" asked they, - that
these are made in the country?'' They were as
sured of the fact. some of the enthusiastic Ia
riff men protest tina. they will convert the whole
Convention, if they could only get at them after
being safely delivered of their speeches and re-
ports. 1t would be an odd result if the generous
%nulliiers should get back to the Pee Dee, half
Tariff men," We trust it will have the effect Of
considerably " modifying their sentiments and
altering previously conceived opinions.
Good!-We find the following moroccan in the
last Warrenton Gazette:
s.The Clay College of Electors in Maryland
have turned out every Jackson Senator III the
State Legislature. So much for the hue and cry
of prescription for opinions sake! In this case
there is not a single man spared-all are removed

This is what we would call "rather curious"
that the Clay Electors should not elect Jackson
Senator's. Monstrous.!
Rumors Of Msurrect,ons.-We have accounts
Of a rising of the Blacks on the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland, of their being in considerable force,
of their having murdered DR.. Balm and his FAINT
". sc. These accounts are given in letters from
Easton. When they shall be confirmed, we will
give the true particulars.
Exaggerated statements are published from
Delaware. When the true nature of the disturb
ance there is known, we shall give that also.
The Frankfort Kentuckian received here states
that a rumor has reached that place Of a disturb
ance IN Louisiana. That word run1or makes US
doubt the tale.
The Charleston Courier contains the following
paragraph:
CHARLEsToN, S. &. Oct. 4.
As many idle and unfounded reports, from
Cheraw, Pee les4 ISL Georgetown, have been
in circulation for two or three days past. it may
be proper to state. that official letters were re-
ceived in town Yesterday, by the proper authori-
ties, stating that there was not the least founda-
ton whatever, for these various exaggerated state
ments, and that all was quiet, IN the various pla-
Ces above named.
All this shows an excited state Of feeling, and
perhaps, in some instances, there is good ground
for it. Our part is to be perfectly ~quiet-watch-
acknowledgement. Thus situated, there
is nothing to fear. But caution should never
slumber.
In the mean time, let Editors in the disturbed
parts Of the country take care not to give ~cIrcula.
ton to unfounded reports, calculated to keep
alive excitement.
Maryhmad Election. Complete returns from
the several counties in Maryland have been re-
ceived. giving the following gratifying result OF
the Election for the State Legislature: In the
House of Delegates, there will be for Mr.. Clay
50; for Gen. jackson 81. In the Senate, for
Mr.. Clay Is; for General Jackson none. Ma
ryland has thus nobly performed her duty to her
self and the country. She has set the seal other
displeasure upon General Jackson, and express
sed in the most uneQuiyocal manner her attach
ment TO the Western Statesman. 81 sic Omnes!
Ar. Clay.-The Telegraph need not ''lay the
fattering JUNCTION" to itself. 1t is both rash and
impudent. Mr. Clay is not only a candidate, but
the most prominent candidate before the people.
and with brighter prospects of success now than
he ever before had. The nomination Of AIR. Clay
by the National Republican Convention, as we
have before remarked will but be an echo of pub
lie sentiment declared in more tnan one hundred
assemblies of the people in different parts of the
country. That the Telegraph should choose Mr..
Writ IN preference to Gen. Jackson is no ways
remarkable. But that argues nothing. The Te-
