INUNDATIoN AT NEW ORLEANS.

The Commercial Bulletin of the 9Th inst, states as
fortunate circumstance for that city, that for several
months past, there had been storms high
gales of wind. During that time the suface of the Mis-
sissppi river has been nearly level with the tops OF
the levee TWAS feared, that If tempest should arise
and drive onthe high stage of water from an eastery d

We learn from the N. o. Pcayune that, on Saturday,

the area lying within the Leyee that runs BY the river,

COMMUNICATION.

Cen Grcen-Sir,-I observe by an article in
your paper of Wednesday, that you have been
misled by the mistatements of the Republican.
[ have not thought proper to address the editor
of that print on the subject, but when his false
assertions lead our own friends into error, it is
perhaps right to notice them.
The figure of MIR. Van Buren, under press,
on the banner of theLowell Factory delegation,
did not represent the blood gushing from his
mouth and nostrils, and an expression OF agony
on his face 1t is a plain and we'll defined like
ness of the President, and the expression OF tn
features wears even the well known and peculi-
arly seducing smile of the chief magistrate, indl-
eating the fact that even while the country has
been, and still remains, under the severe pres
sure of his administration, the inconvenience of
which he has himself felt in his official capacity,
he can still smile at the calamities of the land.
The use of the Presidents likeness, in posi-
ton which has so much incensed the federal
editor of the Republican, was merely igurative,
nd emblematical of our beloved country, in
that condition when the illustrious original ex-
claimed &c there is no pressure that any honest
man should regret" Yours, TRUTH

RIoT IN CAMDEN, n. 1.-THE Philadelphia
United States Gazette states that con Monday
night, about ten o'clock, mob of about fifty in
number, assembled round two houses tenanted by
negroes, in the close neighborhood of the Wood
bury railroad where it enters Camden, and gave
notice to the inmates that as their conduct had,
for some time past, been such as to discredit and
offend the residents in the vicinity, it was their
intention to pull dozen the houses, and advised
them accordingly to clear the premises them
selves, and remove all articles they wished to
save The blacks carried out their furniture;
and the house was fired, but the flames Were af-
forwards put out. Axes and long hook were
then brought, and while one portion Of the as
sailants were cutting away below, the others
Were Juggling at the chimney, and it soon fell
upon the house, which, weakened by the cutting
away of the uprights, fell in one mass of ruins.
No violence whatever was offered towards the
persons of the now houseless tenants; while their
effects were carefully and sedulously guarded
from theft by some of the actors in the scene"

AFFAlRs AT WASHINGTON.


The resignation OF Mr. Kendall, and the APP
pointnent of MIR. J. M. Niles to be Postmaster
General, is one ofthe most extraordinary events
OF the present times. Mr.. Niles is a small beer
politician, without the capacity or character re-
quisitc for the station and there can be no other
aPolog y for his appointment, consistent with the
opinion we entertain of Mr. Van Buren's tact as
a party leader, than the fact that the office is
one of too much power and influence to be placed
in charge of either of the aspirants for the sue
cession, or of any man who may have talents to
acquire a transferable political capital in it.
Although we can well conceive that MIR.
Niles may, on this account, be less Objectionable
than one better fitted for the office, we are sur
prised that Ethe northern man with southern
principles'' whose only hopes now rest on the
south, should have so far disregarded the senti-
ment in that quarter, as TO put INTO this import
ant station, one so utterly untitled for its duties;
so little qualified to associate with gentlemen.
Among the devices used to alarm the south,
is an effort to persuade the southern people that
if Cen Harrison is elected he will be surrounded
and controlled by northern men, and the quaint
remark of John @. Adams, which we have
quoted above, has contributed to fasten that de-
fusion upon us. Now let us look at the facts as
they arc-Whc is it that surround the President
Who is it that have received the millions and
tens of millions that have been squandered by
his extravaganza With the exception of Mr.
Forsyth and Mr.. Poinsett, from the tide-waiter
to the secretary of the Treasury, there is scarce
southern man to be found on the list of his APP
pointments. If he has done this in his first term,
what will he do in the second, when the natural
bent of his feelings will be longer restrained!

HuMBuGGERY-The Globe is reading jeremi-
abs over the emigration of a certain description
from the South TO the Canadas, and quotes a
new abolition paper established in Cleave-
land, Ohio, to prove that it is carried on
to great extent and winked at by those in
power. Now if MIR. Van Buren, and the party
in power in Ohio are sincere in their opposition
to abolition, and it be true that the abotionists
are guilty of abstracting slaves from the South,
why do they not take effectual means of arresting
it 7 They have the power if they would use it,
and it follows, that what they say in relation to
the facts is untrue, or else that they privately
wink at what they publicly denounce.

The VICE PREsIDENcY.-Mr. Forsyth, the
present Secretary of State, and the prominent in
dividual in the administration ranks, to be pre-
scented to that portion of the electors of this
try, who may be found contented to vote for the
existing administration, as the candidate for the
Vice Presidency, has the following signiGcantre-
mark in his CARD ono friend o the adnaiTtistra-
ton can hope for an election by the people. p
An election by the people! Who then is to elect
the second officer of the government. Shall we
disregard the voice of the people? Are the voters
of this country to have their sufferages disregar
ded? The Secretary of State intimates as much
He was the expect ant. But from his own Ian
guage, we gather the important admission, that
sswhoeyer succeeds, will occupy his place with
the perfect knowledge that he otces his elevation
to the Partially Of a. fragment Of his orcn par
tn, and holds IL against the decision, oa major
ity ofhis feHo,o citizens" Verify, this is strong
language for the prime minister, and we suppose
it is under the impule Of his own belief in the
weakness of the administration, that he is so de-
sirous of quitting the helm of public affairs.
The election of Vice President, is not to be trus-
ted to the people. The Senate must perform
that important part of the peoples prerogative.-
We think not John Tyler, of Virginia, is in the
field as the peoples candidate, and by them, he
will be elected. The Courier and Enquirer, Of
New York, alluding to the want of harmonious
action" in the Van Buren, Convention, makes the
following significant remarks:
ssWith these interesting divisions in the ranks
of his party, and in the recent demonstrations a

YucATAN.--By the schooner Hero, we have re-
ceived our files of Havana papers to the 25th ut.
These papers contain copious accounts, taken
from Mexican journals, Of the revolution in Yuc-
atan. From this source we learn that the entire
Peninsular has formally separated itself from the
Central system, and established their government
on the basis Of the Constitution of 1S24-Chip-
pl and Tobasco having, early in March, joined
fucatan in the new system.
The Vera Cruz papers state the strength of the
Central garrison at Campeachy at 900, officers
and men, besides reiuforcements of 400 which
had been sent from Vera Cruz to an English ves-
sci. The loyal Central troops in Campeachy
have subscribed document, in which they de-
clare their fixed determination to hold out against
the beseigers at all hazards. These republican
Centralists declrae that Federalism is nothing
more or less than treason against the regular
government; they say it is horrid doctrine, and
absurd, for people to rise up and claim the right
to make laws, when it is well known that laws
can only rightfully emanate from the government.
