The following Song was sung at tho Cele.

When Adam ruled the world by an order from

And with his bsautious spouse, traversed Edens

To build bower, they spent an hour
To shelter them from weathers evil
And his Worship punnd it out;
With his square, gage, rule, and level.

In pout she went out;
And chancd for to meet the Devil

In a short time after this, when mankind did
multiply,
They snned so fast, that Jovo at last, said he

While Noah steered the Ark;

As his motive is entirely disinterested and
patriotic in making this request. it being his
desire to produce positive evidence of the num-
Der of Newspapers printed in the United States

attention may be paid to this request: < above

tant towns, that are comparatively but little
known; and if at the same slime, they would
communicate. in their papers any statisticaim
formation relative to their immediate neighbor-
hood it would be highly appreciated, and

shall be carefully preserved and arranged, by
States, in room al Washington, devoted for
this object; one set to be eventually deposited,
in the Library of Congress; the duplicate set to
be transmitted to Rich. Esq. of London
Il Agent for the purchase of books. &, for tn.
Congressional Library to be by him placed

THE FEN SECTIONS.

A month or two since, the Party, through the Swearing Editor, complained very bitterly at the silence of the friends of the Ten Section Bill, declaring that it was utterly impossible to draw them into defence or discussion of the measure, 6c. &c. But how is it at the present timea The boot, we fancy, is now fairly upon the otier leg. Fhe friends and supporters Of this bill, have thought proper, of late, to present their views upon it's policy and Texpediency Jairly and honestly before the speople--and what IS the result! Why, the Party are as mute as so many mummies-- they have nothing 10 say--and when they do say any thing, instead of calling to their aid argument to show wherein and how this measure is franght with so much evil, they deal in the broadest assertion- terming it a " stupendoas traad," Ian ex- pression borroaced from Gen. Duff Green, of the Washington Telegraph, Sc. &c. Assertion without argument or proof is nothing. Let the Party make good this charge of fraad-let them speeVy-let them offer something tangible; when they do this they shall be met-yea, promptly met-tbey shall have discussion to their hearts content. But let them not longer think to dupe the people by. unsupported assertion and boisterous sdeclamation-th public eye is opening and begins to sec through the shallow arti6ce set up by Pope, Ashley SaCo.; and the effuslons of their contaminated tool, the Swearing Edi- tor of the Gazette, has ceased to have that effect on the public credulitg, which they were won't to produce-he and his sup- porters are fast sinking into that nothing ness which is their desert
 The tine is near at hand, wo opinc, vhen the Party will be as sick of this Ten Section subject, as their Editor nos is of the Pe1yury story.

more revolting than all that hes gore before? There is. lam really at loss to know now to address your isxcciien- ey, or in what language to express my own feelings, and what must necessarily
 be the feelings of all just and honorable minds, at your wanton, heartless and rcmorseless slaader upon the majority of the Legislature ofyourcodntry. There are some crimes that are so destructive in their consequences, so atrocious irr their guilt, so wicked ii their parttici- patton, that the mind is bewildered and confounded in its contemplations. But this much we do know: Among all
 those individuals who renderthemselves
 obnoxious to public shame and rebuke,
 there IS none more odious i'll the eyes of
 God and man, than the base, wicked and
 malicious slanderer. Such unfounded
 calumny heaped upon the Legislature of
 your country, to disgrace them at home
 and abroad, 10 effect party purposes,
 could be only generated in mind reck-
 less of all consequences, and ina heart
 void Of all social duty and fatally bent
 upon mischief. We clearly see your
 motive for publishing, under the sanc- lion of your name, that you "werc to
 be assalled by mob arrayed under col ! or of Legislative authority" for the purpose of assassination. It was to en- dorse and make true your Kentucky neehew's (Mr. Trotter's) slan1crous as- sault m Judge Scott and MT. Critten- den, ana n majority of the last Legisla- turc, as men bearing the character of "bloczguords, bro7p deofers and depera- docs; and, also, 10 coser with your of feial mantle, that p,,sh of virtue and e. racity, Woodruff, who, you say, cQns. duets his paper, tho Arkapsas Gazette, sswith due regard to dccoruna and propri- ety." But as your Excellency has been called on by Judge Scott, " in the cha ractcrand capacity of Governor, 10 cs- tablsh this foul and criminal charge, or acknowledge yourself destitute of eye
 ry feeling of justice and all regardsto
 trutil,n we will wait for iiae proof.
 Are we not then justified in the asser-
 ton, that you are at this time corrupt ling the public morals of the country, by
 an unprincipled devotionto men and the.
 debasing intrigues of the denaagogue :, by pouring poisonn the veins of the body polite, which is so visible in it's banefuk effects upon the society of Arkansas : and that you have become areckless and
 boisteroas champion ef faction, the de- graded slave ofparty, descending to the- humliating condition ofa purchased po-- liticai gladiator, furiousiy struggling for personal revenge and party aggrandize- ment, rather than the peace, harmony and glory of your country, and the re-
 ward of patriotism? CATO.
The Arkansas advocate., 1832-05-16

We hear from Georgia that a con- siderable number of the Cherokees have agreed to go beyond the Mississip- lpi; and that indications rather favor the belief that the body of the nation will, upon certain conditions, voIuntari- y emigrate. It has always been our opinion, that if might be to their inter- lest and general welfare 70 dc so.
