FIFTEENTH DISTRICT.
EIscIOrs Of tke lStk Dissnef!

EtGGtoIS gJ t8e l9to Us8gf1et! The question for us to try in the ensuing contest ls, whether Jacke0Dism shall triumDh. or whether pure and patriotic principles ob- tain the ascendancy. Snch is the pecuIiar;tv
 Of our situation at the present time, thai ail opposed to the existing state of things can c"ncrnfrate theis strength against the admin istratiOR in voting tor Senator. At such a mOmentous crisis, every effort should be put
 tOrth-nOt only to gain mere victory ovev 1 our opponents, but to gain such maiOritv of votes tn favor of fcOrVeet men and sound meas.
 ures as to convince the VOtaries of power and
 the recipients Of Executive patronage. that
 there Is still redeeming spirit ia the land that
 may yet Pescue the charter of our liberty from l lawIess invasion. The career of lhe Chief Magistrate of the nation in respect to the svs-
 tem Of policy he has recently adOpted has
 manifested any oiher disposition than that of respect for the constitution and the laws. He
 has br0aght ruin and distress upon the cOun-
 try, and still persists in his destructive experi-
 ments with the most relentless Obstinacy.- The note of remOnstrance has sounded from
 aI parts Of the country, but it brings nO relief.
 The champions Of constitutional right in both
 branches of the national legislature have put forth their best efforts to retrieve the error but it is all in vain-Executive influence has OS~u VsOu6uN NV OGut DW o&fOuSty 0kt0O tue freedom of legislation as to present insupera- ble obstacles to their success. The peopte. must take matters into their own hands and correct the evil. As ours is the first State election that takes place since the President assumed the control 1.-the public treasure, aIi eyes. as might be expected, are anxiousEy turned upon us. The question is distinctly propOundrd, will old Connecticut sanction these wanton usurpations, and these high handed violations of the constitution We trust in the name of all that is vsluahle tn civil liberty and the institutions of our land she will not. Let us not vote for any Jackson man for office, and thus sanction the recent assumption Ofpower the President has made in taking the purse of the nation into his own hands. Let us one and all gO to the polls and vote for THERON ROCKWELL, Esq. to be our Senator. and thereby express our just indignation against the minions of the Jack son party, and our honest preference ofa pat riot to partizan. Mr. R. is true repnbli- can. He is opposed to the policy of the pre-. sent national administration, and is correct, honest, and independent minded man. Laun- celot Phelps. the opposing candidate, is a thorough going disciple of the Jackson school -and has been for course of years their standing candidate for the Senatorial offices Shall we hesitate to choose between two such c1cn! Forbid is patriotism. Let us no long, 5er submit to tyrannical dictation-bnt let us be free--independently and absolutely free.

II being Understood. last week, that thi,
gentleman was On hi, way 10 the West, by
the Canal, accompanied by several gentlemen
OF distinction, meeting Of citizens of
Chariesto~n aId ats vicinity was hastily cali
I'd together. for The purpose Of inviting him
and them 10 join in the festivities Of the 18th
at shannondsle, or to Partake Of a public din.
ret on some other convenient occasiop.--
Jsns 5. GALLkuER was called 10 In. cb,;,
and WA. {. WosruIscrOs, Esq. appointed
Secretary On motion Of JouS s. BLACK
nrHS' Esq. committee was appointed to
wait on MIR. CLhI and has associates with n
suitable invitation whereupor, the following
gentlemen were appointed, viz: John Peter,
John s. Gaiiaher, Samuel Cramer, Andrew
Kennedy, John J. Brown, John Davenport.
Samuel w. Lakeland, William Yates, George
b. Stephenson, and WIN. n. Craishin. Par,
Of the committee repaired TO the hospit,ble
mansion OF JOns LEE, Esq. in Maryland.
where they found Mr. Clay and Mr.. AncnER,
to whom invitations were promptly extended.
George c. Washington and John Lee, Esqs.
were also invited to participate. The. an
swers Of Messrs. Clay and Archer. with their
patriotic toasts, will be seen in the proceed
inss OF the shannondalc party.
After spending few days at Mr.. Lees. in
Maryland, Mr.. CLAr proceeded on his jour
ney. At IIarpers-rerry, ON Saturday, he was
met BY the Amateur Band. playing appropri-
ate airs, and by number Of citizens, who
paid him every suitable honor and attention.
saiutes were fred, and no was escorted to
the hotel Of Mr.. Beckham, where a large as
senblagc Of ladies and gentlemen paid their
respects to him. After spending an hour, he
passed on TO the residence OF Mai. John
Peter, where he spent tho afternoon and
night. Early the next morning Sunday he
entered Charlcstown in the public stage, and
remained only long enough TO breakfast. Ills
arrival was not generally known, but such OF
the citizens as heard oft, promptly repaired
to Sir. Hills tavern, TO interchange civilities
with him, and 10 manifest their high estimate
Of his public services and private worth
Though much wearied and exhausted by his
late arduous services, he was found 10 be all
that has most partial friends had represented
him to be courteous, affable, and fascina-
ting. We doubt not that even such of hi.
political opponents as had an interview with
him, now entertain kindlier feelings towards
him than formerly

MOST DISTRESSING CASUALTY.


The stage in which AIR. CLAY proceeded
westward, met with 4 most serious accident
within mile Of Brucetown. In passing
down bill near that place, the tongue-straps,
by which the wheol-horses hold back, gave
way, and the stage rushing upon the horses
rendered them entirely manageable. The
VeaicIe was upset, and Mr.. ALBERT HuNRIcK-
norsE, jr (son Of the proprietor who vas
si'tins with the driver, was thrown from his
seat with great violence, and instantly killed,
by the body OF the stage falling upon him
The passengers, consisting Of Mr.. Clay, Mrs.
Coburn, (near Brucetown,) Dir. Mccoy, (ol
this place) and Mr.. CIays servant, we're
overturned in the stage, but providentiaIiy
escaped any serious injury-Mr. Clay only
getting one Of his legs a little rubbed. The
driver was also thrown, or jumped, from his
sea'.out he was not materially injured. At the
moment Of upsetiing, the body separated from
the running gear, and the horses ran with the
forswheels nearly two miles. 4 most foriu-
nate separation
Mr.. Clay exhibited bis usual benevolent
and noble qualities, in having every attention
promptly paid to the remains Of the unfortu.
nate young gentleman who was killed, and 10
communicating the sad tidings to his parents
IN terms Of deep ADD respectful coincidence.
Mr.. Humrickhouse was only twenty years
and three months old and was a most anna
bic and worthy young gentleman. upon " hon
his parents had worihily bestowed their mos,
devoted affection. Ills remains were con-
veyed TO shePherdstown on Monday, and in
