THE BLUE BOOK,

We invite the attention Of our readers
TO the advertisement of Mcssrs. Key s.
Biddle, Philadelphia, which will be
found in our advertising columns. We
know Of no work that will be more gen.
erahy acceptable to the public than the
one here referred to. The National Ga
ze,ts Of July lst, speaking Of this work,
says-"No one can obtain an ade equate
idea Of the immense patronage that is
vested in the hands Of the Executive, ,un-
less he reads this book. Gentlemen who
visited Washington last winter, sought
for the BLUE Book with avidity, and in
one instance, SO great was the wish to
procure copy, that one individual was
willing 10 give thirty dollars for one, and
could not obtain it," The u. S. Ca
zette says, that the BLUE Book should
be in the hands Of every voter in the u
nited States. 1t is a fearful account OF
Executive patronage.

NEWPORT.

The extreme bot weather in New
York, Philadelphia, and in various pla
ces at the South, has caused many stran'
gers to come among US within the weeI
past, to enjoy the cool and invigorating
sea breezes that refresh our pleasant is
land. Almost every steamboat that al
rives adds more or less to the number OF
strangers already horc. Among the dis
tinguished visiters now in this place, are
NICHOLAS BIDDLE, Esq. President OF
the U. S. Bank-and Gen. DUNCAN, Re-
preventative in Congress from Illinois
with their families.

PRECEPT AND PRACTICE.
"FAcTs are stubborn things"


When Gen. Jackson was first nomin-
ated as a candidate for the Presidency,
he was Senator of the u. S., from Ten
sssee. 1t will be rccollected that in
conse quence Of his nomination, he re-
signed his seat in the Senate, on the pre-
itence that he had conscientious scruples
about retaining seat in Congress, while
a candidate for another office. In his
letter Of resignation to the Legislature Of
Tennessee, he expressed his opinion OF
the improperly Of the selection of MEM
bers Of Congress, for the high Offices
under the General Government, in the
following strong and emphatic language:
81 would impose II provision, render.
ing any member ot Congress ineligible to
office under The General Government, dur
ins the term for ,rhich he was elected, and
jor tco years thereafter" 'If important
appointments continue to devOlve on the
Representatives in Congress, it requires
no depth of thought TO be convinced that
CORRUPTION miH become the order
Of the day. II is through this channel
that the People may erpect 10 be attacked
in their constitutional sovereignty, and
where TYRANNY may be apprehen-
ded to spring up in some favorable emer-
gency."
This is General Jackson's Prscept-
now for his PRACTicE!
He has selected from the Senate, for
"oGice under the General Government"
FIFTEEN Of its members, wiz
WIN. Findlay, NJ. Van Buren,, John
II. Eaton, John Branch, John McPher-
son Berrien,. Louis McLane, }. Chand-
Ter, Thomas II. Williams, David J. Ba-
ker, Edward Living sston, Levi Woodbu-
Try, Mahlon Dickerson, Powhatan Ellis,
John Forsyth, VIM. wilkins.
And from the House of Representa-
tives, TWENTY-FIVE ofits members,
wiz

CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.

Inc soIar hea', \says the NeW L oIh
Commercial Advertiser Of Thursday y
was intense throughout the day. About
noon, breeze sprung up from the south,
which in few hours enabled those who
could avail themselves oft, to remain in
the shade without exercise, to enjoy tol-
erable comfort. Those, however, who
by their avocations were compelled to
endure the unmitigated blaze of the sun,
suffered most severely from the intensity
Of its rays. The decisively hot weather
commenced on Saturday, and became
gradually more close and oppressive un.
til Wednesday, when it seemed to have
arrived at its highest point. Yesterday,
however, was marked with more acci-
dents from the heat, than on any previ-
Gus day within our recollection.
A young man fell down in fits, and
was carried of upon a litter. lie has
since partially recovered.
A colored man lost his life by drinking
cold water.
Another colored man fell down and
expired from the bursting Of blood ves-
sci, occasioned, as was said, by the in
tense heat.
An Englishman at work on the roof Of
a house, was suddenly struck with a
coup d'soie,i, and expired in short time.
In lumber yard, q man lost his life
by drinking too proiusely Of cold water.
A man who had been at work below,
on board schooner, came on deck
and was suddenly affected by the rays Of
the sun-he fell suddenly to the ground
and died in few minutes.

have heard no more of this intrigue.
Now whatever my political opponents
have heretofore thought Of my cupidity
or ambition, here they have the fact that

they believed that many things in his ad-
ministration would be right, and that
some might be wrong; they made every
allowance for the defects Of his educa-
ton, and his military habits, but one
thing they never did expect, one and all:
they never believed that Andrew Jack
SON would allow himself to be the victim
Of Van Buren's intrigues; they thought
he had sense, and discrimination, and
firmness enough, to avoid the rock, but

and its President have finally split upon

WHIG CELEBRATIoN.-The Whig Gel
ebration at Boston, on the 4th inst, il
said never to have been surpassed, il
this country. There were $500 sub
scribers, who after passing through sew
eral of the principal streets, were seated
at the table about half past 2, when
SAYS the Transcript, the whole compa.
ny, on signal from the President, rose
and stood in silence, whilst the Rev. Mr.
Parkman invoked blessing Of the King
of Kings, in n prayer Of iervent aspira-
ton, followed by a simultaneous and
heartfelt, Amen.
"The coup d'eil' Of the Pavilion sf-
ter the company was seated, all uncov-
cred, and all facing towards the PIesi-
dent, with the National Flags and Pen
dants, floating above them in rich pro-
fusion-pillars sntwined with garlands
and flowers distributed with lavish hand,
wherever the eye found resting place
the bright sun shining through the open
spaces in the tented roof, and letting the
blue sky peep in-the perfect decorum
and propriety Of department that prevail
ed, from the centre to the remOtest cor
ner Of the Pavilion-the gentle, but an
mated hum Of two thousand voices,
making the air redolent Of happiness,
produced impre ssions surprisingly CRATE
ful to every heart that throbbed within
the enclosure"
The regular toasts and songs were
very appropriate, and many distinguish
ed guests were present. Messrs. Davis,
Adams, Webster, Burgess, Evans, and
Lincoln, were invited, but were not able
TO reach Boston, in time to be present.
The different bodies of mechanics as
sociated under the name Of the "Trades
Union," formed a procession Of great
length, at the State House at IL o'clock,
under escort of the Mechanic Rifle
Corps. The different Societies had ap-
propriate and splendid banners and the
members were distinguished by suitable
badges. The Printers exhibited Print
ing Press, mo'.ated on platform, in full
operation, scattering the sheets as fast
as printed, among the spectators. The
ship Mechanic, with forty foot keel,
rigged, armed and manned,
drawn by twenty-four white horses, and
brought into Procession by the Ship
vrights Of Boston, South Boston and
Charlestown, was altogether the most
appropriate, the most perfect and beauti-
ul pageant of the day. She was thor
'ughly built, upon fine model, and
perfect in every part. After moving
through some Of the principal streets, the
Procession assembled on Fort Hill,
where the Grafton was delivered by MIR.
Robinson, of MarbIehead. After the
Grafton, the company proceeded in due
order TO Faneuil Hall, where dinner
was provided.

SUBrERRANEANV VILLAGE.-TheB Balti-
more American contains the following
account Of the remains Of an Indian Viii
lage, which have recently been brought
to light, after the lapse Of ccnturies.-lt
reminds one isays the Boston Centinel,) }
iorcibly Of Herculaneum & Pompeii, cities
near Naples, which were overwhelmed
by n sudden eruption Of Mount Vesu-
vius, in the year 7s, and which, after re-
naming buried up for nearly seventeen
centuries, were accidentally discovered
the middle Of last century, and disem-
boweIed from the accumulated rubbish
Of ages. The Indian Village here spo-
ken Of, certainly presents an Interesting
subject for the contemplation Of the A
merican Antiquarian, and to rejecting
people generally.
A Subterranean Indian Village has
been discovered in Nacooche Valley, in
Georgia, by gold miners, in eycava,ing
a canal for the purpose OF washing gold.
The depth to which It is covered varies
from seven to nine feet some Of the
houses are embedded in stratum Of rich
rous gravel. They are 81 in num-
Der, built Of logs, from six 10 ten inches
in diameter, and from ten to twelve feet
in length The walls are from three to
six feet in height, forming a continuous
line or street Of 800 feet. The logs are
hewed and notched, as at the present
day. The land beneath which they
were found, was covered at its first set
tlement by the whites, with a heavy
growth Of timber, denoting n great an
tiquity to these buildings, and a power
iul cause which submerged them. Cane
baskets, and fragments Of earihcn ware,
were found in the rooms. The houses
are situated from so to 100 yards from
the principal channel Of the creek and
rs no further excavation has been made,
It is more than probable that new and
more interesting Developments will be
made, when the land is worked for gold.

FoURrm OF July IN NEw.YoRK. The

"Sobcr contemplation, rather than OBJ

we have for years protested, exhibited
none of those disgusting spectaclcs
which formerly disgracod them and the

noon, we were astonished, but pleascd d
by the circumstance of not seeing a sim
