rate inactivity, we believe that, with pro-
per exertion, the success of the good
cause is beyond the possibility of doubt.
The present administration has for some
time past been justly discredited in pub
lie opinion-General Jackson has been
gradually losing, ever since the com
mencement of his official term, the popu-
larity with which he entered it. Whole
sections of the union have been alienated
from him by his strange and inconsistent
course upon the Tariff and Internal I'M
provement. Extensive interests have
been thrown into opposition by his reck-
less and unaccountable denunciation oil
the Bank. Many Of his ablest partisans
among the public writer's have deserted
him, and if any considerable portion OF
rejecting men still adhered to his STAN
dard, the wanton attacks upon the Judi
ciary Department must have driven them
from it in disgust The unity of his par
ty is completely broken up by the open
rupture between the friends of the Vice
President and the late Secretary Of State:
and at this moment the citizens opposed to
his reelection, C constitute large majority
of the whole population of the United
States. Under these circumstances it is
quite apparent, that nothing is wanted
but zeal, and activity, and concert, to
ensure success.
The aspect Of this Convention-the
unanimity and spirit which have marked
its proceedings-and the favorable re-
suits which may be expected from its in
fuence upon the community, afford am
pie security that these requisites will not
be deficient.
Such, fcllow-citizens, is the character
of the present Administration-such are
the motives for changing it and such are
the persons whom we recommend to you
for the chief Executive officers. Com.
pare their qualifications with those o.
their competitors: and may the goodness
of Providence so enlighten your choice
that it may tend to promote the security
and permanence of our excellent politica
institutions, and the true greatness ant
glory of our beloved country.

West India Trade bauJle, seems by the
rumors of the day, to portend consequent
ces not of the most Aattering character
to the administration. When the Senate
shall have done with this matter, the
PEOPLE will at least learn the real value
of that trade,-and the Notifying and
degrading terms upon which it was OBJ
tanned. The administration party in the
Senate, has manifested great anxiety to
evade the investigation, but they might
as reasonably expect to escape the grasp
of death as avoid the keen and fearless
scrutiny of the men who are now calling
them to account.

The New YEAR. We present our
readers with the compliments of the sea-
son, wishing them a continuance Of all
those blessings which kind Providence
has so munifcently bestowed upon them
in the days which are past and gone. 1t
should not be deemed amiss in us here to
state, that the HERALD OF THE TINES is
the only paper in this part of the State
which advocates the great interests the
National Republican party are laboring
to promote. We mention this fact for
the purpose of reminding our political
friends in other parts Of the State and
country, that although our patronage has
been very respectable, and perhaps all
that we could fairly lay claim to-yet,
situated as we are, with two papers in
the town not with us, and, therefore, a.
gainst us,-an increase Of patronage
would be acceptable and flattering to us,
and would operate as one fthe strongest
inducements to increased efforts to rem
der the HERALD still more interesting
and useful than it has hitherto been.

MEMORIAL.

The undersigned, inhahl,ants Of the County of
Alexandria, in the District of Columbia, beg
leave respectfully to call the attention Of
Congress to this their Memorial and Petition
The peculiar deprivatiuns and disabilities of
TIE District of Columbia being no" under the
consideration ot Congress, your memOriaIists can
not neglect the opportunity thus presented to So
licit a restoration of their political rights Of
these rights they were devested, without the ex-
istenCe or assumption ut an authority in the peO-
lpe Of the United States TO do so; but by what
seems TO your memoriaists an oversight in the
trainers of the constitution: For a, such authOr-
~ is plainly con,rarant to the principles of both
liberty and natural Justice, YOUR memoriallsts
cannot imagine that it could have been asserted
BY men to whom a struggle with the most power.
:ul nation OF the earth had just taught the true
nature, and the ines Unable value, of freedom.
This superstition is rendered shll more impro-
bahle by the recollection that the imposition Of
taxes on an unrepresented community "a doctrine
and practice inseparably incident to the District
of CoIumbia) was the very grievance which pro-
duced the Revolution:-and your memoriaIists
cannot believe that civil liberty and political SER
vtude are cOns,stent,-or that an act fundamen-
tally wrong in the British parliament becomes
right when repeated BY an American Legislature.
The constitution of the United States, that ad-
mirable exposition Of the rights OF man. informs
them that the very idea Of republic implies the
responsibility of the representative to his consti-
tuent, nor can they, without disrespect to so We.
nerated an instrument, willingly rest their liber-
ties and rights any longer on so precarous sup
port as the personal merit of their rulers.
Subje. ted in point of fact to an unlimited and
lrresPons power. they feel in this circumstance
alone causef for the most apprehensive and alarm
ing emotions. which are not relieved by the in
diligence OF Congress. Your honorable body,

THE CONFESSIONS OF NAT
 TURNER.

Mr. T. R. Gray's pamphlet of ssThe Confession of Nat Turner, the leader of, the late Insurrection in Southamp- ton," (says the Richmond Enquirer,) has been published at Baltimo re. 1t makes 9 pages. It professes to give, from the Bandits own lips, the circum- stances which formed him leader and fanatic. It sketches the commence ment, progress and termination, of the Insurrection, the bare recital of which makes the blood run cold i iis ds- scription of the butchery of the whites is terrific. We cannot make copious extracts from it because it is put under a copy right. But we may be permit led without infringing on the authors privilege, to copy the following inci- dents:

Cherokee .NatsoR, Dec. 24th, 1881.
 sr'o . tse Eltsates.s sf the Democrat
 Gent}emca-Permit me to make a few remarks in regard to a voyage that one of helate emigrants took, from the Cherokee Nation of Indians East of the Mississippi, tothe Cherokee Nation of Indians West of the master river Mississippi. Some time in the winter of 1850, he A. Thompson) enrolled, under the late treaty made between the United States and the Cherokee Ma tion of Indians West of the Mississippi. He was native of the Cherokee Ma tion lying within the limits claimed by the State of Alabama, and took leave of his native land, the gift handed down to him by the Great Father above, on the 25th day of February, 1880. He descended the Tennessee river with it's gentle current. Nature induced him ito study and bring to mind the great journey that he had before his eyes, and the many difficulties that would attend him on the solemn occasion. When he reached the Muscle Shoals, the great obstruction placed amid the Tennessee river, he was compelled 10 have a pilot to guide and direct his boat along its main channel. After he had passed through the Shoals-he continued his voyage and turned deaf ear 10 the mu- sic of nature-he viewed the little vil- lages situated on the river with wist- ful eye-but they welcomed him not.-- When he entered the beautiful Ohio, there he beheld the gentle current pass ing silently by--he heard the sound and echo of human voices on both sides, sav-faithful friend, you have left the land of your Fathers, the inheritance of your ancestors. Why did you not stay and ningle your remains amongst the dust and ashes of your forefathers. He continued to descend, reached the confluence of the rivers Ohio and Mis- sissippi, thence he drifted with the cur rent of the master river of the west ; passed the many towns and villages bor- dering on the same, but all could not comfort his mind, because he had stray ed from his native people-becausc he had violated the laws of his country because he had acted contrary to his own wishes, to gratify the wishes of the General Government. At length he reached Montgomery's point, about the 4th or 9th of April, 1880, and remain ed on the bank of the Mississippi, sur rounded by the waters of the western rivers, and had not more than fifty yards in width and four hundred and forty four yards in length: of dry land-so the time and days appeared to him as though it was months and years. He 5 took leave of Montgomery's point on the 18th or 18th of tho same month, on board the steamboat Industry, for his new honght home in the country of Ar. kansas, where ne expected to be iniiia- ted into the family of his Cherokee brethern, with peace, equity and equal ity; and on the lst day of May, landed at the Canadian river in the environs of the Cherokee Nation, where he antici- pated he would be received with open arms and shouting joys. But hence it was to the reverse of his long expected hopes. It was much ado that he would he received in that country as citizen. So'he sought himself a new home in that country, and settled there for eigh-| teen or nineteen months, when he was

When ! question: ed him as to the nsurrection in North Carolina happening about the same time, he denied any knowledge of it; and when looked him in the face as though would search his inmost thoughts, he replied, Ssl see, sir, you doubt my word; but can you not think the same ideas, and strange appearan- .ces about this time in the heavens might prompt others, as well as myself, to this undertakinga''
 The pamphlet has one defect-we mean its style. The confession Of tl,e culprit is given, as it were from his own lips-( land when read to him, he admit ted its statements to be correct but the language is far superior to what liSat uf1ieF could nave elnpfOye1--foT-k tions of 1t are even eloquently and classically expressed. This is caicula- ted to cast some shade of doubt over the authenticity of the narrative, and to give the Bandit character for intel- Hligence which he does not deserve, and ought not to have received. In all other respects, the confession appears faithful and true. The whole pamph- let is deeply interesting! It ought to warn Garrison and the other fana- |tics of the North how to meddle, with these week wretches.- Compiler.
