THE PRESIDENCY.
From the GAINESVILLE o. Republican

From the GAINESVILLE o. Republican.
The article that follows we copy
from the Baltimore Patriot. and we are
satisfied that the Wings Of Muskingum
county, as we'll as of the State general
ly, will give a hearty response to the
sentiments. We cheer(ully concur in
all expressed and deem it high time
that choice should be made, that
rallying a point should be had, for the
Wings to concentrate upon. Next to
Mr.. Clay, who we would support in
preference 10 any other man in the
Union, give us Mr.. Harrison, who
we believe would compete more sue.
cessfully against the candidate ofthe
dictator than any other person except
Mr.. Clay. AS to Mr.. White getting
the vo,e of Ohio, in our opinion it is
useless to talk about it.
We also think that Mr.. Harrison's
chance Of success in Indiana and IL
liaois, would be superior to Mclean,
Webstsr, or White.
GIT is TIME phi is time
and high time TOO for the Wings OF The
whole country to come to some under
standing in relation TO the Presidency.
The Van Buren, party see the lack OF
perfect unanimity in our ranks, and
they are taking every advantage of it.
They see us with three candidates
in the field, Webster. M'Lean and
Harrison, and part of us moreover go,
ing for Judge White. This should
not be. We cannot surely elect all
our candidates and it is time that some
of them should withdraw from the
field or be Withdrawn by those who
have brought their names before the
public. For ourselves we are Wings
we go for the Wing party, and for
Wing principles, whether it be to de.
feat or victory. We are ready TO sup
port Clay, Webster, M'Lean, Harri-
son or any other good and true Wing,
who will best mite the party; but we
protest against supporting all ofthem
at once! 1t is bringing ruin and
South Branch intelligencer. [volume] (Romney, Va. [W. Va.]) 1830-1896, 1835-06-20

destruction upon our cause to Keep
three candidates 10 the field. We
should have bur one-aud let that one
be Wing in spirit and III heart--a
man whose standard the Wings all
over the country will rally round, as one
man ! Then our party will come too
gelher, and what with the suppore
Judge White will receive at the South
and South West, will carry terror and
djsmay into the ranks OF Van 3uren
and the Office Holders
We agree with the above prints that It
is high time that the Wing party shoulG
come to some understanding as to whom
they ought and will support. 1t must be-
admitted that it is CLAY and VAN Bus
rem who have the strongest hold on the
political casts among the people OF the
Union-this will not be denied by either
party. Can there be found in the U.
States stronger man in opposition to
Van Buren, than Henry Clay! Not one.
Suppose we are brought up in the minori-
ty--what of that? We shall give ten~
dency to the destinies of this great peo-
pie; and to that constitutional rule our
forefathers intended for our good.

all you said by way DIMINISHING upon any
scrupIes you had manifested. After the
last recited conversation, the question
was distinctly put by one Of the UNDER
signed, whether it was the sense of the
meeting, that an effort should be made
to bring Judge White out as cands-
date. The response to the affirmative
seemed to be general and without ex.

the decision which was adopted by the
meeting.
Blu, this is not all: after It was con.
cludsd that Judge White should be
brought out, question was raised, as
TO the ways and means Of effecting
that object. Oae Of the undersigned
suggested that the best means of plac.
ing Judge White fairly before the pub.
lie, would be to get up newspaper
in this city, whence knowledge Of
his principles and character could be
disseminated over the Union. After
some conversation on this subject, and
no objection being made, question
was taken upon that proposition, and
no dissenting voice was heard. 1t was
then proposed that each gentleman
present should contribute specific
sum of money to defray the expenses
OF such an undertaking, if no man OF
capital could be found to undertake it
upon his own resources. A question
was taken upon this proposition, and
even this exercise Of the taxing power
did not rouse opposition from any in.

ranache that on the next day Che
22d) the Carlists attacked him again,
and that, after hard fighting, which
lasted that and the next two days,
Valdez vas again compelled 10 retreat
in disorder, taking the direction Of
Estella, but that Zumalacarreguy sue
coded in cutting him off in the attempt,
and compelled him to take refuge
among the heights of Eraul. The
loss OF the Royalisss is said to have
been very great, more than 1000 kill
ed and GOO prisoners all their bag
gage and horses, and upwards OF 5000
muskets. The result is described as
almost, if not entirely fatal TO the
hopes of the Royalists. Lord Eliot,
the English mediator, was with Don
Carlos at SegWa while these battles
were fought.
On the 9th, we find it stated in the
London papers, that Bayonne letters
had been received, giving accounts Of
another murderous engagement on the
9th of April, between Los ARGOS and
Estela, in which the Royalists were
completely routed, but tina, zumalacar-
reguy had been severely wounded
This was contradicted, positively, on
the 9TH; and on the 9th, other Bayou
ne letters, dated May I'd, are quoted,
as leaving no doubt that Valdez had
been obliged to fall back on Logronto,
after sustaining considerable loss; and
this is the latest.
The mission of Lord Eliot is said to
be terminated ; probably by the change
Of Ministry in England. The follow
ing are stated, in some of the French
papers, as the only terms on which
Don Carlos is said to have expressed
to Lord Eliot his willingness to put an
end 10 the contest
1. He is ready to abdicate the
throne in favor of his son, who would
take the name of Charles vi. 2. He
is ready to quite Spain as soon as Queen
Christiana shall leave the Kingdom
8. He permits the immediate belroth.
ing of his eldest son to the Princess Is.
abeIia. a. He recognizes the debts
contracted and consolidated since the
decease Of Ferdinand VII. 5. He
promises foil and entire amnesty for
political offences. 6. He promises
the immediate convocation OF the anci.
ent Cortes, to revise and give legiti-
mate and de6nitive sanction to all acts
since the death of Ferdinand VII,
which he will not recognize, because
they emanated from an illegitimate au-
thority.
PORTUGAL.
The latest date from Lisbon is the
Goth of April, up to which time the
capitoI and indeed the whole country
remained perfectly tranquil.
The ministers continue to urge upon
The Queen the necessity of bringing her
mind TO contemplate second mar
riage; but though in public she avows
a willingness to sacrifice her feelings
to her duty, yet in secret she revolts at
the idea. The brother of her late hus-
band is still the Minister'S choice; but
it seems that an unexpected difficulty
has arisen to the completion of this
union, in the dissent of the young
Princes mother, who is strongly OPP
posed to it. An agent will, however,
be shortly sent from Portugal 10 nego-
tate the affair.

Mr.. HARPER: I was informed the
other day, by young gentleman of in
dubitable veracity, that the Rev. JAMES
M. HANSON (who, by the bye, was
reared in these mountains, and who is
one of the most pious and able preach.
ers in the United States) was recently
appointed to clerkship, in the Post
Office Department, by its present head,
Amos Kendall, Esq. Mr.. Kendall Ger
tainly deserves, of the christian com.
munity, much praise for this appoint
ment-more especially, when the cir.
cumstances, under which it was made,
are taken into consideration. Mr..
Hanson has labored almost necessarily
in the vineyard of his Lord and Mas"
ter for the last twenty years, in conse-
quence of which his health is very much
impaired. His friends, becoming there.
fore alarmed +; and believing that
short respite, from the arduous duties
of the sanctuary, would have the salu.
tary effect OF improving it, used their
influence with Mr.. Kendall, and thus
effected the appointment in question:
MIR. Hanson being INDECENT, as most of
the methodist preachers are, the salary
annexed to this little Office will enable
him to support himself and family.
/ do not know, Mr.. Editor, the poll
tics of this clergyman; but am induced
to believe, from his characteristic good
sense, that he is an opponent of the,
Jackson dynasty. If then this infer.
ence is founded in fact, and Amos was
appraised Of it, he has, in the appoint.
ment in question, evinced an indepen-
dence ofparty considerations, for which,
as before said, he not only merits
much applause, but, which will elevate
him greatly in the estimation Of the
considerate and rejecting ofall parties.

For the Intelligencer.

MIR. williamson, in behalf of the
board Of managers of the "VirganiG
Female Orphan Asylum," begs leave
to tender his thanks to the Ladies and
Gentlemen of Hardy, for the liberal
manner in which they have patronizeds
so disinterested an object Of benevo>
lences and for the information of some,
TO whom he has not had the pleasure
of presenting the object in person, who
may yet esteem it privilege, to lend
their aid in rearing within the bounds
of their own native state, monument
which shall live, when in solitude their
cold remains shall sleep The years a.
way she would herewith give a brief
statement Of the design Of the inslitu-
lion.
In behalf cfthe Virginia Orphan
Asylum.
The Ladies of Virginia, impelled by the
affecting necessity of the case, and anx-
ious to rescue from a state of perilous ex-
posture the outcast female orphan, to pro-
vide home which will welcome to its
bosom, without regard to sect or party,
this unfortunate class of society, have, for
this purpose, obtained charter from the
Legislature of Virginia, for FEMALE
ORPHAN ASYLUM to be located in the
town of Fredericksburg. The building,
large and commedious, is now completed.
Thus far, this institution, which promises
to be such fountain of blessings to tla
State, has been advanced by private ex-
ertions and individual sacrifices. 1t now
stands in need of sympathy and assistance
from the public. to whose prompt liberali-
ty, enlightened patriotism and Christian
tenderness, an appeal is now made in its
behalf. Their unaffected diffidence would
prevent them from resort to argument
in such case. They would only say to
the citizens of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
Orphan of this your own, your native
land.
And they will not cease to pray. that
for the aid you may render, you may have
in return the warm gratitude of those
who are ready to perish. and the blessing
of HIM in whom the fatherless fndethr-
mercy!
