" Accounts received from almost every part of

The last Abingdon Statesman remarks:

The Fayetteville Observer of the 2lst says:
" We are clad to hear from various parts of the

is the leader of the Nuics (qu: Asses p took il in
high dudgcon, pretending to regard it as an avow-
al of preference by the Kitchen Cabinet for the

know that il has been aud still is the earnest de-
sire of the members OF the administration to avoid
giving any sign of preference for one vision If
one more deeply participates than the Postmaster
General" Doubtless for no one has more at
stake than that same gentleman As an evidence
of his mpartiaity and freedom from bias, he says,
although he gave the advertisement to the Sentinel
he gave the blank printing to the Pennsyyanian.
This is certainly as equitable division of tie
spoils' as could be expected, and he must be a
greedy hnayc who would ask for more. But Amos

O. \ few days ago. Mr.. Corbin, of G!ouccs-

slaves in Albany, \. Y. and having proved the fact
before one of the magistrates, the slave was deli

,stine of whites and blacks, bc,ieecd the Jail in
Which he was deposited for sac-kecping, and were
so turbulent that he could not be carried to the
steamboat. I'm attempt was afterwards made to
carry him off, but the mob again intercepted the
party, who were compelled again to deposit him in
Jail. in which he remained at the last accounts
The Albany Advertiser says, that the mob was
composed almost entirely of Migrants. But it
seems strange that these Migrants could not be
queed by the respectable portion Of society. The
Advertiser calls upon the proper authorities to
punish the mob, and to call out the military, fneed
