in Ais hands, enjoying the receipts OF
their pensions, whilst those apPlica-
tons ior pensions not placed in the
hands Of Gen. M'Carty are delayed,
undergoing the dull sluggish routine
ofofhce e1amiHation.
The only objects Of Executive pat.
ronage in this county, that can call
to mind ut present are two. One
secretary to the late Indian treaty, be
opposed the election efGen. M'Carty,
and vas warmly enlisted in the late
party contest on the side Of the oPPo.
sition. The other - lad Of Is or IL
years, he is now at West Point, re-
|ceives $40 per month, and is in the
way Of future preierment, his family
we're Of the opposition party and oPpo-
sed the election Of Gen. M'Carty alse.
Is not this course Of Gen. M'Carty
Is it not evidence that
he is no blind, devoted follower Of par
|ty! Does it not prove him the Repre-
sentative of the whole people: Doesit
not prove him magnanimous and faith
full TO the trust reposed in him! And
|yet, fellow citizens, you are called up
on (these facts to the contrary notwith-
|standiEg) to prescribe Gen. M'Carty.
Ito put him down BY a party vote. 10
this generous, is it your interest, Has
he a right to expect evil from good?
Has he been the jaundiced representa-
tive Of a party alone? No man that
has any regard for truth or veracity
will assert that Gen. M'Cartv has not
to the uttermost of his power advan-
ced the interests of all the inhabitants
lot his district. Let but the people ex-
anime and reflect, and Gen. M'Carty
has nothing to fear in the result Of the
next ensuing election; the changes in
his favor are greater, far greater, than
a short time since, his most sanguine
friends anticipated. An intelligent
people have but to examine for them
selves, into the pretensions Of the can
didates for their suirages, and they
will be inevitably led to the conclusion
that Gen. M'Carty can at present bet
ter promote the interests of the people
ofthis congressional district at the city
Of Washington than any individual
now opposing him.

| Murder.-The Concord, N. II. Spir,4
Of Inquiry states that the wife Of Mr.
Chancey Cotran, Of Pembroke, the same
who was last winter with her husband -
saulted with an axe while asleep, by .
young man named Prescott, pretending
himself also to be ssleeP, was on Sunday,
% inst. murdered by the same young
man in open day. Mrs. Cofran had bet
Just recovered from the injury she had pre-
viously received, and all fears in regard
to the young mans character had been
for some time allayed, as his former of.
|ence was considered merely as an extra
ordinary instance Of somnambulism.
The day on which the murder took place,
he told Mrs. Cofran that there was an
abundance ofstrawberries short distance
nee from the house, and invited her to 60
with him to pick some Of them. She
went, andlwhen they come to the spot, he
took a stake from the fence, and by bea-
ting her upon tho head caused her death
in few minutes. He Immediately went
to the house, and sat down at the back
door reading the trial Of Avery. Ayoung
lady saw him, observed that he appeared
very strange, and was afraid to approach
him. She informed the husband Of the
deceased, who went out, and was told by
the murderer that he had killed his wife
The startled husband went directly to the
spot where the deed was committed, and
found his wife Just expiring. Her combs
were broken and her head bruised very
much. The young mans age is Is OF 10;
he made 40 attempt to escape, and has
been secured
Since the above was in type, we have
received the following additional particu-
lars from the editorso the Concord Cour-
Ter:
The only account the boy gives Of himself

and he knew nothing more till he saw her

Mn. EDrroR.--Alterc is at al
times unpleasant to me, and it Is with
extreme reluctance that / feel myself
constrained at present to enter the
political road and against o. III. Smith
unpleasant however as is the task, the
requirement of imperious necessity
must be obeycd. Justice to myself
and the community requires that
should ward of the unfavourable inn
prcssions which Mr.. Smith for the
purpose Of subscribing his ambitious
Pu, Poscs Il eIIuravvurfhg 10 nx upon

MIR. Smith charges me with writing
him letter early in the present Con-
gressional canvass, giving him assur-
ances that was his political friend,
and that if he came out would sup
port him: which letter he undertakes
to read to favoured individuals. That
l wrote Mr.. Smith friendly letter, is
true, but SO far from wishing him to
become a candidate or implying that
1 would support him. My sole object
in writing was to advise him to adhere
to the many declarations he had pre-
viously made 'that he would not run
if Rariden and McCarty we're both
At the last term Of Wayne Circuit
Court Mr.. Smith told me that if Rari-
den and McCarty were both Candi-
dates he would not be a candidate, ~
'he would not be socrifoed' as the term
ed it. Rarlden was then out, Gen. Nc
Carly soon came out and / unhesita-
Iingly declared myself for McCarty.
AMI ! thought saw strong desire in
many that had before supported Smith
hat he should not under the then ex-
sting circumstances come out-such
was the expression Of sentiment that /
ifSmith would visit Richmond
ne would see and feel il and decline
coming on the turf. And | wrote him
! friendly letter to that effect, and that
'nly. True there are unfavourable
expressions in that letter toward an
'ther individual.
This then is the substance of that
etter, the only one wrote him on the
ubject. And / shall leave it with the
to decide whether he ac-
ed the gentleman in using a private
etter in the manner he has done
more especially he accompanied that
exposure with his own false coiouring.
That be has shown private communi.
alton from me he has admitted and
hreatens that il do not keep quiet he
vill publish it.-If Mr.. Smith can re-
oncile such a course to his feelings he
an do what | think no honorable mani
an do. But il publishing that pre-
ious document can IN any way sub

were directed to inquire into the expcdiency
OF reducing and equalizing the rates of post
age ON newspapers, have made a report ad-
verse to any change or reduction.
The amount Of postage received on news

would increase the bulk, and deprive the Pos,

Monday evening the 2ist ult. The report of
tne Managers Was read BY the Secretary Of
the Society, Mr.. Guriey, and gave a Cheering
view Of the progress Of the institution during
the year. During tins period, the Soc iety has
aided seven hundred and ninety coIorcd per
sons. two hundred and forty seven Of whom
were slaves manumitted, for the special pur-
pose Of colonization. Tho income of the in
.utut'oo has exceeded, by about ten thousand
dollars, the receipts OF last year. The mana
gers, however. have gone beyond this sum in
Their expenditures, and look TO the public Ii
beraiify To sustain them in their enlarged opc
rations. They avow the opinion that two
hundred thousand dollars might now be an
nuaily expended with advantage, i'm the great

with subImity Of thought truly appalling -
There 10 species Of horn or trumpet music in
Russia that, surpasses every thing of its kind,
and which can only b heard in the palace Of the
Emperor, at Moscow. A friend Of the writer,
M. Ballot, when at Court, was conducted by
Prince Potemkin into long dark gallery, where
at distance, was stationed this extraordinary
band. The composer listened with astonishment
and was asked by the Prince what he thought Of
it. 81 know" replied thu musician, "that it
is like nothing on this earth. 1t IS the music Of
another world, and am utterly at loss even to
guess how it is produced" Lights were instant
y brought, and there appeared two hundred SOL
diers, each with trumpet or horn in his hand,
varying 10 length from the size Of an extinguisher
which they much resenbled, to 20 feet in length.
And what is mes. extraordinary. each perform.
er upon his instrument made but a single note,
all Of which fell in succession SO apty, that the
two hundred tones in performing symphony OF
Haydn's had the effect Of one grand instrument.
The power of accent thus exerted by every per.
son upon his individual note, gave SERIES Of e.
