Of Judge White, says that the General ac-
knowledged the claims of Judge White, and
averred that "as between him and Fan Buren,
and no other candidate in the field, his pre-

THE AUGUST ELECTION.

The Wings in this State, have every
reason to expect that most determined
effort will be made by the Tories to car.
ry the Representative election in August
next. The result Of the election in this
State, plainly shows that majority ol
the people are opposed to the misrule
and corruption, that have distinguished
the present administration, and it only
requires vigilance in US TO insure the
election Of men to Congress who will
not be "Jackson men or any other mans
men," but whose pledges will be to pre-
serve the constitution from infraction.- -
We should recOllect too, that we shall
have then one man TO contend against,
whose prospects are dubious, but whose
activity will thereby be increased, and
who will be call things to all men," that
he may obtain his election. If he cam
not ensure his success by Drawing the
freemen, he will endeavor to do il by
stratagem. Let us give no counte-
nance to the doctrine that is inscribed
upon the Tory banner, "support those
who support you" We contend for the
inalienable right of freemen to vote for
those persons whom they consider the
most suitable to perform the duties of
the Offices TO which they may be elect
ed. We want no "bread and butter"
politicians on our side, and surely we do
not wish such to be elected to the most
responsible Offices in the gift Of Free
men. We wish none placed in office,
who, because they are warmed into life
by tho smiles Of the State Government
or of the general Administration, will
support either in the exercise Of powers
that do not constitutionally belong to
them. Such men are the slaves Of pow
er and are the fit and willing instrumc nts
TO make slaves ofthe people. IL, there
fore, we wish TO preserve to ourselves
and our posterty the rights of freemen,
we should look well to the August ecc-
ton. We should be alive, and use eve-
ry honorable exertion to prevent the
election Of men who know no other prin-
ciple in official life, than unlimited obe-
dicnco to the dictates Of power. Woon-
socket Patriot.

we give for the benefit of those who al
feet to despiso the name. 1t is from the
pen of Benjamin Franklin
"The Wing lives in every state, but
ne wishes to live only in free state.--
lie claims no right in himself, but what
ne Is willing to give to his neighbour
lie Is not listed in sects by bonds, nor
kept in them by prejudice; his nInd As
not contracted by systems, nor souycd
by b'gotry; he is not attached TO per-
sons or factions, but to things, to JUS
tlce, to liberty, to virtue, and to his
country. lie adheres TO men who ad-
here to these; and adhcrcs to them no
longer than they adhere to those. With
like contempt Of promises and menaces,
unawed by power, he is attached TO
these. Not lurking like drone TO reap
what others SOW, he cheeriully acts his
part in society; he does what he can; he
endeavors, within his sphere, to promote
:he general welfare. No matter what
you call him, what his name, his pro-.
lcssion, or the title Of his ligion--this
is a WIG"
And benjamin Franklin is good au-

The Correspondent Of the Baltimore
Chronicle, writes from Washington city,
in confirmation Of his previous reports
relating to the Disturbances between the
members Of the Generals unit cabinet.
There can be but little doubt Of the cor
rectness Of the information, in the main.
The General seems determined to keep
pace with his reforming brothers, Viii
liam, Of England, and Louis Philippe,
of France. Their Ministers are chang
ed almost with every moon, and Jackson
must follow suit, until il will be difficult
to obtain any respectable man who val
ues his character, to accept al Office
subject to his caprice.

delegates that Rives is to 60 into tho
Treasury, less opposition will be made
to johnson. II is though, that this vii,

tion. 1 am, however, mol sure but that
the opposition to johnson made, or TO be
made by some one OF the nosthern dele
gates, is not in reality AL arranged at
liberation on the part Of the Convention,
and to obviate what has been said rela-
tive to the whole aHair being decided
before hand. know well that il was so
arranged. Johnson LETT here m the adj
journnent Of Congress, nearly as well

to keep up the Sun. ! have not under

place before or utter the Sun was

was considered as treason to the Globe

sculions, and it reached the eur OF their
royal master. 1t was all hushed up,
however, and no one was decapitaied or
expelled from the party in conse qu4nce.

you that Kendall has called upon Stoc.-
ton, andupon Rceside, and, for what
know, upon others, 10 refund certain sums

eyes-others laugh, and some swear i. is

certain, Stockton is here, and looks us
if he were in trouble.
The report is, that they are called up

REAL EsTATE.-lt is well known that Real
Estate in this place has materially enhanced
in price, during several years past. AS evil
dence of this, in connexon with many others
that might be mentioned, we notice the sale
Of the Lot on the hill, at the head Of Church
street, on the south side, owned by the Gibbs
family, to a gentleman Of Philadelphia las,

years since for $500, which was then though,
to be high price. A splendid edifce, we
