0ae Of the most distinguished admi

zechof who.is a native of Meredith, N
H., and whose real name is Thomas F
Williams. According 10 an accoun,
published Of him in the New Hampshire
papers, It seems that many years since
he went TO sea before the mast, sailing
between Boston and st. Petersburgh =
At the latter place he was left sick, and
on his recovery entered the Russian
merchant service. The vessel in which
he sailed was attacked by pirates, but

the ship. He killed the captain and

OUR POSITION.

In The commencement Of the pubica-
ton of this Journal we took neutral
ground as to politics. We never made
any pledge to do so before the paber was
issued. We knew this county to be
strongly whig, but were informed on our
arrival here, by several gentlemen. that
a majority OF those who had become
subscribers to the paper, inasmuch as
there was no other paper in the county.
would prefer that i should be neutral
in POLITICS. To this, much against our
own inclination, we consented. with the
distinct reservation that we should ex-
press our whig sentiments on general
principles whenever we saw fit 10 do
so, and should advocate the whis cause
at any moment when we should be dis
inclined to occupy neutral attitude
Upon further acquaintance witR'the peo-
pie of the county, we are now satisfied
that the majority Of our subscribers
never did desire that we should be neu-
tral, and that we commenced the publ
cation OF our paper under wrong inn
preston relative to their wishes. We |
now therefore consult our own first and |
constant choice and hoist the Wing flag
We are unwilling, in a contest in which
so much is at stake, 10 the honor Of our
State, to remainin position where we
must critically restrain ourselves TO the
advocacy Of fundamental principles. On
these parties profess TO be agreed, yet
carry them out in opposite manners
The deductions are all party deductions,
and every thing else is regarded as SER
which goes into one ear and
put at the other. We are Wing and
always have been known as such, and
our paper, SO far as il has dealt With DO
ltlcal matters, has been known to be as
much Wing as our Vick sburg and Gren
ida papers. For that matter, our sign
night as we'll have hung out all along

Judgment in the first instance we should @

atronage by hosting our flag to the mast d

ad rather die fighting than live with a ?

"YORK AND LANCASTER"

SOLVER Oldschool," in the U. s. Gazette,
man of sterling sense and worth, thus
writes:
al saw Mr. McDuffie for the first time
in the Senate yesterday, and should scarce
ly have recognized him had not known it
was he, so much has il-health altered him
since last saw him, some eight years ago.
Mr.. Calhoun looks cheerful, as if buoy.
ant with hope let him take care of the
northern fox, with southern propensities.
The contest is now narrowed down to
these two aspirants in that party. Gov.
Cass is here, but has made no new impres.
sion; there is no room for him. The Mad
isonian, you will observe, has taken ground
against Mr. Van Buren,, and in dong So
turns its battery from the Wings against
that section of the Locos and is covertly
aided by the Calhoun section. Meantime
Mr.. Tyler INDUCES hope that he can yet
get the nomination of that party, in conse.
quence of the division existing between
the friends of Calhoun and the friends Of
Van Buren,, by the help of the Executive
patronage. Ii is amusing to see the game
going on among these three aspirants
played by them and their respective
friends. They talk to the party abou
principles and patriotism, and democracy
and the party, good, easy, credulous nose
led souls. take it all for gospel! They are
more simple than little ones'-more easily
duped than an old woman--more submis
sve, obedient. passive, and plant than q
mesmerised child in the hands of the mes
meriser. How these leaders, who care al
much for the democracy as they do for
flock of sheep must laugh in their sleeves
at their great desire to be humbugged! lie
them laugh they have reason"
