Col. DUNN.-The numerous friends of this
gentleman will, no doubt, be much gratifed to
learn that he has reached his home, almost Who'll
ly recovered from the effects of the wound recei-
we'd in the late campaign. He is in tolerable
health, enjoying in quiet the happiness of the So
ciety of his family and neighboring friends
This intelligence will be the more pleasing, when
we reflect that in the late compaign Col. D., it
would seem endured all the pain and suffering
which human nature is capable of, in so much
that even his life was despaired Of.
The writer is not aware that it is the intention
Of this gentleman to become candidate for the
Office Of clerk of the House of Representatives
at the aext session of our Legislature, yet think
it just that he should be, and have no doubt that
the Representatives of generous people would
elect him. Would ii not be well for the members
of the next assembly to hold themselves uncom-
mitted till they meet, that they may choose him
who is the most deserving? Col D. has 'done
the State some service"-in the army he literally
rsked his life for his country, and is moreover as
capable as any gentlemen in the State.

tlucton of a safe and greatly improved mode of
travelling, leading to very important revolution
in the domestic economy of nations. The car
rage in question has two bodies for sixteen pas
sengers, and two seats for outside ones. This dou-
BILE body occupies length of ten feet, and the en-
CINE house and apparatus about eight feet in the
rear. The quantity Of fuel consumed during this
trip was about 81 bushels of coke, the FIRE being
fed behind. The stock of water converted into
steam was about thee barrels, or 100 gallons. The
height of the vehicle is nine feet, and it stands
thee feet eight inches from the ground. The
boiler is of tine description called tubular, and in
this engine it consists of twelve chambers, each
distinct, and formed of the best charcoal iron, so
that no explosion is probable, and fany took place,
it could be only one of the chambers, and lnconse-
quential. This carriage is built for the Green
witch road, and it will perform that journey in half
an hour. The facility Of stopping is perfect, and
its traverses on crowded road effected with a
far greater surety than in any carriages drawn even
by the best trained horses. Il turns in the short
est compass, and, in fact, possesses all the best
qualities of modern built carriage. Other car
Eiages, which embodies, to carry fourteen passen-
gers, are now building, of somewhat lighter con-
struction, which are intended to travel about IL
miles an hour. AS the engine is placed in the
rear of the carriage and the boiler and fire at the
extremity, no Inconvenience is experienced by the
passengers from noise, heat, or smoke, and the
sensation is precisely that Of travelling in any 9TH
er carriage.

events place upon the ticket which they hold the
port Of the public, such for the Legislative branch
would have respect for the station that their political bret
have assigned them Weknow that in making out tickets
is almost impossible to have every that ticket
competent that should complain of him, but is quite
easy matter select Of good moral characters in the
representative branch, who willing such laws

Selves to DO governed by those laws when adopted Such
however, have found not to be the with the ticket held

ABANDONMENT OF MR.. CLAY.

The Clay candidate for Governor in Kentucky
is beaten. This is in Mr.. Clay's own State; but
still the National Gazette says, we do not advise
the abandonment of Mr.. Clay" Oh, no Like the
defeated tory, Lord North, in our late revolution,
they only change their position" to coalition.
The Clay candidate fol Governor in Maine is
beaten, when the whole opposition tactics had been
brought 10 bear as to the North Eastern Boundary,
and as to the Jack Cade cry of monarchy, raised
against the administration, for an attempt, by the
Secretary of State, to show Republic to be less
expensive than Monarchy. But still the National
Gazette says, we do not &c advise the abandonment
of Mr.. Clay" Oh, no! Like the vanquished and
imprisoned Black Hawk, they have only (" changed
their position"
The Clay candidate for Governor in Rhode Is
land is beaten, where Mr.. Clay's American System
and the 'great red dragon" Tristan Burgess, have
both emphaticaly reigned.-But still the National
Gazette says, we do not " advise the abandonment
of Mr.. Clay" Oh, mol Like the Turks driven
from the Balkan, they have only " changed their
position"
The Clay candidate for Governor in Ohio, was
so sure of being beaten, that, just on the eve Of
the election, he lodges the contest, and declines.
This is in Ohio. The young Lion of the mighty
West But still the National Gazette says, we do
not " advise the abandonment of Mr.. Clay" Oh,
no Like Hudibras' hero, who ran away, that he
might live to fight another day, they have only
Z" changed their position"
The Clay candidate for Governor in New York
is non est inpentus Judge Thompson, the last one,
has not been found in the field. But still, says the
National Gazette, we do not ''advise the abandon,
ment of Mr.. Clay" Oh no! We only advise q
bargain and sale Of all the honest of our party
like sheep in the shambes, to the new coalition
and thus, for quid pro quo to the leaders, they
merely ''change their position"
The Clay candidate for Governor in Pennsylva
MIA is pledged to the election of Messers. Writ and
Ellmaker. But still, says the National Gazette
we do not ''advise the abandonment of Mr.. Clay
Oh, no! Mr.. Clay is still, says the honest Ma
tional Integencer, emphaticay the candi-
date of the people," and his friends " have only
changed their position" But few of the sincere
Anti-masons begin to take the hint, and the pub
lie will soon see, in his new political farce, "whos
the dupe."--GIobe.

Tavern, on Saturday, the 18th Of August last, It
was "resolved, that the delegates elected shall
meet at the Red Lion, on the Tuesday following
the first Saturday in October next, and proceed 70

liz is deemed advisable tostrike out the word "Tues
day." and insert Monday, which will be the Nom
day following the first Saturday in October. We
notice this at the suggestion of several of our
friends, it is feared that some ofthe said delegates
would fail in attending on the day first proposed,
fin consequence of the hundred elections being
held on that day. Attention istherefore requested
