with which it has been prepared. UncomproIuis-

has received from the hands of men calling them.

Hon. DUTEE J. PEARcE.-This gen.
tleman, who has made himself very con-
spicuous of late in the Jackson and anti
masonic caucuses, and if we mistake not,
very ridiculous also, has thought proper
we understand to make certain statements
before those meetings calculated to ex-
cite some sympathy in his behalf, and
bring down upon us the censure Of the
public. AT one Of those meetings on
Monday evening last, at which we could
not be present, being obliged to attend to
the mechanical part Of our business, we
learn that he distinctly stated by way Of
justification for taking such an active
part in them, that he was compelled there
to defend himself, as he had been pro-
scribed and denied that privilege through
the columns Of this paper-even under
his own signatWe-that he could not
have access to our columns without first
submitting what ever he wished to publish
to some three or four persons who had
the sole control Of this concern--(or
something to that effect)-and in a pa
per too, which he upheld by his subscriP-
ton. For the information Of the public,
and in justice to ourselves particularly,
we deem it our duty to state, that Mr.
Pearce, when he made those declara-
tons, asserted what he knew to be false,
-basely and unqualifedly false-and
what he also knew could not be sustain
ed by the least shadow or semblance Of
truth whatever. When, we ask, did Mr.
Pearce ever present anything to the cdi-
tor conductor, printer, or what you
please, for the gentleman will hardly a
gree that we have even sense enough to
write our own name-.but may possibly
be able to make our mar1D ofthis paper

ELECTIONS.

KENTUCKY Returns from forty coun-
ties, only part of them, however, fur
nishing the result Of all three days Of the
election give for Clay. majority OF
6783.
INDIANA-The Louisville Focus says ::
l" We are informed that the counties Of
Harrison, Washington, Clarke, Floyd,
Dearborn and Wayne, and which in
1928 gave a majority Of oa3. votes for
Jackson, have now given majority of
twelve for Mr.. Clay" In Madison
county the vote was for Clay 700, Jack
son 73O McCary's district, as far as
heard from, has given an anti-Jackson
majority Of sixteen hundred. The state
has gone, without doubt, for Clay and the
constitution.
VERMoNT.-A postscript in the Bellows
Falls lntelIigencer ofthe 18th inst. states,
that the votes for a Representative to
Congress from the first district have been
received from all the towns, excepting
one, and that there appears to have been
no choice. Mr. Hall, the National Re-
publican candidate, had 500, Mr. Mer-
rill $50, others 476.
.Maryiaud.-By returns from all the
Districts in this State, it is ascertained,
according to the Baltimore papers, that
the Presidential vote will stand seren for
Clay and three for Jackson.

and supper, and as some Of them were
returning, they were attacked with clubs,
SC. by mob of the nulifers. The Un-
ion men, not dreaming of the attack, were
altogether unprepared, but they soon raj
lied, and by breaking off the branches OF
number Of trees in the neighborhood,
they armed themselves, made one body,
formed line, and declared themselves
ready for battle, but through the persua-
sion of the leading men of both parties,
all were induced 10 retire home.
During the whole Of Sunday, both
pahies kept open houses, and the Union
patty had a meeting in consequence of
hearing that the nullies had twenty seven
of our men drunk and locked up. A
committee was despatched to them, Civ
ing them till 5 O'clock to release their
pris,ners; and threatening, if they did
not, that the house in which they were
confined should be razed to the ground
Hooks, sc. were deliberately procured
for the purpose, and the nullifiers, seeing
our determination, gave up the miscra-
lle men they had captured.
On Monday evening each party had
another meeting and supper. In the
course Of the evening, Mr. Pettigru, of
the Union party, received n note from
Gen. Hayne, of the Nullifers, request
ing that the Unionists would return home
through Meeting street, as both parties
might again come in contact and blood
ensue. MIR Pettigru's answer was, that
the Union party was better prepared for
an attack than on the previous evening,
and they would 60 which way they
chose. Alter this message was sent
back, Mr. Poinsett addressed the Union
party, requesting them as they retired,
to do so in a ody--to arm themselves
well, and for every Union man to wear
white badge on lis left arm; for which
purpose they sent out and bought piece
of white muslin, and tore it into strips
He also requested them not to make the
attack, but, If assaulted, to defend them
selves at the hazard of their lives. Thanks
to Divine Providence, we were spared
the conflict.
From the above hasty sketch you can
form some idea of the manner in which
party spirit RACES in this quarter. The
contest is now over, and for n short time
at least, we shall have quiet. God alone
torsees the result Of this rebellion against
the Union.

wards Of l4OO hundred deaths occurred
in the short space Of n..e days-in a
population of only about 10000. by a
letter from the Mayor of the city, it ap-
pears that the disease was actually
brought there, and that it forthwith
spread in the neighborhood where it was
introduced, and from thence over the
whole surface ofthe city. The question
arises whether rigid quarantine would
not have prevented the introduction Of
this frightful malady among them.

CIIOEE RA.

.Ntw- Orleans, Oct Silt appears
that the regulations passed at the last
meeting Of the city council, have not yet
taken effect, as we have not received any
report from the board Of health From
the number of intermcnts yesterday, we
are forced to conclude that the cholera
is raging with great fatality; for, prcvi-
Gus to It's arrival here, and during the
prevalence Of the yellow fever epidemic,
the daily average number Of deaths did
not exceed twenty five; whereas, yester-
day, they amounted to 100, viz:-56 in
the Catholic cemetery, and "A in the
Protestant. We are still induced to be-
lieve that this terrible pestilence is prn-
cipally confined to the black population,
and to the most exposed and imprudcnt
classes of whites. We have heard of
bu: three or four cases among the better
classes Argus.
The Board of Health did not meet
yesterday. Only three physicians re-
ported, viz:-Dr Kcr l5 cases ofchole-
rn, DIR. Cenas G, and DIR. Thomas to-
tai %.
There were Sc intcrments yesterday at
Catholic Cemetery,--44 at the Protes-
tant, and l3 corpscs at the Charity hos
pital, for which collins had not yet been
made--total ll3. But how many of
these have died of cholera? Up to the
present time no one knows TO certainty.
