The minority of the Maryland electors of
State Senators, who refused to attend the
meeting prescribed by the Constitution have
had the hardihood to publish an address to
the people in which they avow their object to
have been revolution of the government.
They consider the old government now:abol-
ished and modestly recommend to the people
to choose delegates TO assemble for the pur.
pose Of re-enacting the present, or rather for
merlaws and comforting upon the present State
officers the power Of holding on till some other
provision shall be made for the government
of the State.

TENNESSEE.

Tennessee is getting on nobly. The
General is retreating slowly from the COM
bat. The White flag is triumphing. The
Nashville Republican says:
The tendency ofpublc opinion as mani
tested at the numerous assemblages which
have recently taken place in this State, cam
not be mistaken. The Lebanon dinner
was the most numcrously attended Of any
ever before given in this State, and we are
assured by many who were present that
bu, one feeling prevailed, and that was de-
tcrmined opposition to the will of,he Presl-
dent with regard to his successor. The
toasts were pointed and spirited; and they
indicated so iorclbly the voice OF the coun.
trv-indccd the same voice is so loudly cch.
oed from Carter TO Shelby counties-from
the mountains of East Tennessee to the
bank of the Mississippi, that the fen who
had trusted to the influence 10 the President
to subject Tennessee to his will, have ceased
their boasting and qualified before it-were
We to attempt to insert the accounts of the
public meeting already held, rs well as the
calls for others in ncighboring districts, our
columns could contain but little else. We
hope therefore our friends will imputc this
seeming neglect to lis right cause.
VIII all these demonstrations Of popular
feeling in this State be lost upon the people
of tho United States? The experiment on
the integrity of Judge White-on the inde-
pendcnce otthe people of Tennessee, has
failed -signally failed. The "spoils" and
the dictation have been alike spurned. We
call on the East, the West, the North and
the South, to look vigllantly around them.
Their rights are on the eve of being wrested
from them. If they sleep now W e the
enemy isweaving his tolls around them, they
will only wake to discover that theler hber-
ties are gone.

The New York Times, after stating some
incidents in the trial of colored woman indict-
ed for purjuy in the suit of Aaron Burrs wife
for divorce from her husband, gives the fol-
lowing history of Burr's acquaintance with
his said wife.
II is said he became acquainted with
Madame Jumel, then light and lovely Jer.
scy girl, about 45 years ago. 1t was soon
after the death Of his wife, and when he was
in the prime and zenith of his power, She
was facinated with him-saw with exultation
the elevated point on which he stood when
in 1901 he went into the House Of Repre-.
sentaves on tic with Thomas Jefferson
for the Presidency of the U. States, follow.
ed his chccquered fortunes, and bore .ove
towards him which has never ceased Who'll.
" to exist. She had, it is said, children.
Report states that it was favourte maxim
with Aaron Burr that men are like fishes in
the sea, born TO devour each other.
Whether this lady practically experience
ced the conduct that must grow out of such
an idea is not known. She afterwards be.
came the housekeeper of Monsieur Jumel,
rich French merchant established in New
York. Report states that she became dan.
gerouslv sick and solicited Monsieur Jumel
to let her die the death of an honest woman.
He married her; Immediately after which
she rapidly recovered, and assumed the
honors and wealth belonging to the wife Of
her husband. lie soon after departed for
Europe, and died in Paris, leaving her mis-.
trcss great wealth. For a long time af.
ter this, she was housekeeper again TO Aa-
ron Burr, and having, tits said, point to
gain in relation to her children, induced him
TO marry her. lie mortally offended her,
however, is supposed in relation to some
money transactions, and adcadly breach
occurred between them. She sued for d.
vorce on the only ground that could enttle
her to one in New Iork--that of finfdelity;
a black woman was brought forward, who
swore to having Witnessed the crime, and a
divorce was granted. Hence the present
action. There have been events and oc-
currenccs in the life Of Aaron Burr which
would out-romance cen fiction itsclE-he
has been a splendid, 4 fascinating, and
powerful man and had his principles been
pure as his talents were great, he would
have been an ornament to his country.

TEAs.--The following Information res
pec,ing the manufacture Of Tea in China
and the mode of preparing it for the table,
is extracted from a letter from an American
merchant at Canton, to friend in New
York, accompanying present Of two small
boxes of black Tea.
All Green Teas are cured with Prussian
blue, to give them good color, and are
hence therefore considered by the Chinese
as partially poisoned. No class of Chi
nesc use any description of green tea, ex-
cept to sell, neither do any foreigners who
have resided any length oftime in the coun-
try.-The best and highest priced green
teas, however, are tinged with butvery little
Prussian blue, whilst the cheaper kinds are
much anoyed with this ingredient. | can
confirm this, from having witnessed the
manufacture ofteas for the last three years
in this empire. Black teas of every grade
are pertec,fully free from alloy, and arc con.
sidered by the Chinese as very wholesome.
The "Woolong Pouchong," wbichI have
sent you, is considered the highest quality
of black tea ever manufactured, and the
small box of "Pekoo" is nearly equal to it.
A small quantity of the latter should be
mixed with the former when used, and steep.
ped with very hot water in an air tight tea
pot. This is the universal custom of the
Chinese, and is considered absolutely ne
cessary to make good cup of tea.

upon the General while engaged at dinner
with his friends. When about retiring,
gentleman proposed as a toast, "Cornellus
w. Lawrence. the able and efficient Mayor
of the City of New York." which was re.
ceived with three cheers. MIR. Lawrence
briefly replied, and stated that being compel-
ed to leave town at an early hour in the
morning, he felt that he would have been
wanting in his duly to the inhabitants of
this city, if he had not availed himself of
the opportunity, late as it was, TO pay his
personal respects, and in the name of his
constituents welcome to our CRY. one who
had rendered such valuable and distinguish
ed service to the country in the hour of It's
greatest gloom. His remarks were res
pondcd to by three times three, and he re-

accompanied him on this well considered
visit OF respect for worthy public servant.

since the visit of Lafayette to this city, has
there been witnessed such burst Of enthu-
siasm as that with which the Hero of Tippe-
canoe has been received. Thousands upon
! thousands of all conditions and professions
crowded to the City Hall yesterday morn-
ing to pay their respects TO the man ofthe
people. Ii is as gratifying TO his friends rs
it is honorable to our fellow citizens that
for one day: all distinction ofparty seemed
merged in the universal desire TO render
. honor TO our distinguished visitor. The
spectacle was one eo;' which any nation might
Justly be proud: and the impression made
upon all who were spectators of the scene,
was that of the honest tribute Of a peoples
gratitude 20 brave soldier and an honest
man who had rendered iliustrious services
10 his country.
We can but regret that our time and space
will not allow US to detail all the interesting
incidents that occurred during the mornings
cercmonv:-among the rest, deputation
from the members Of the Bar, appointed
impromptu, waited upon the General, and the
Chairman, Hugh Maarc|, Esq. made anap.
propriate address; rendering a warm welcome
to the defender Of the northwestern frontier,
as well as the assurance ofthe high respect
entertained by the Committee for his pri-
vatc worth, and his memorable services to
the nation in the darkest hour Of the late
war. Here again was manifested that tal-
ent for which General Harrison is so emi-
nently distinguished, Viz. of ready ofi-hand
replies Of the most appropriate style and
sentiments. Exhausting as is the task Of
receiving and shaking hands with thou
sands of his fellow citizens, the hardy veto.
ran seemed to be iusensible to all approach

Mr.. EDITOR: beg leave through the
columns of your paper to call the attention Of
Merchants and particularly those who are
owners of Wagons, and all who expect to have
goods hauled from the river, to notice the
road on which they are to be hauled. 1t is
now almost impossible. The object Of this
communication is to procure something to be
done towards repairing it before the COM
mencement of the business season. The
writer is aware that there are few who have
a knowledge Of the state Of the road and are
willing to contribute either money or labor,
and it is his wish that some OF them would
name day or two in the columns ofthe Gazette
for working on said road. The writer will
not be backward in doing his part.

Memoirs Of Lucien Bonaparte, Prince Of

ed in N. York by Saunders and Oatly, a
branch of an English house. The Harpers
also advertize the work. Of this the English
publishers complain and some Of our cotem-

cause they have exclusive authority from
the author to publish the work in this country.
But what right has any foreigner or any one
else to exclude citizen from publishing what
the laws protect him in publishing! We do
not now speak ofthe policy Of refusing copy

matter is entrusted has seen fit to do So and
that is sufficient. We ourselves see nothing

BY an open defiance OF the expressed will of the
constituent body-iearlcss in its defence of those
principles of constitutional liberty, which form the
only secuitv for tho rights of the People, and the

In addition to its political character, the CO
