Since tnat period, the measures pursued by the Administration have heightened our oppo sition tjyhis reflections We haye sen a profitable "source of trade, peculiarly important to this section of counjiy, lost by mismanagement. This, wit many other things, have determined us I in' our opposition Mr. Adams. Should it be asked us what advantages we jiope to secure to ourselves by defeating ijis election, our reply is, we neither askrior tx pect any appointments, but we lill assert the right and power of the people to choose their own Chief Magistral we will endeavour to cut short; an Administration that we believe have corruptly used the patronage of the Government to ad vance their own ambitious views we vil use our best endeavours to elect an honest President, with sound common sense, whose chiet object will be, the advancement and gldfy ol his country and such a man, io the. opinion of your Committee, is found in the person ot General DREW JACKSON This man, at a vety esirly age, is found in the ranks of his country, opposing British a Tyranny and afterwards a student "of in curown state, fiom which he removed to the state of Trrravseej wliere we fint! him filling the appotment conferred on htm by that state, with honour to him-selt and satisfaction.to those whd delegated to him his power.

In all those high and responsible stations, which we deem unnecessary to mention, as they are so well known, he has evr vnced that sound tiiscrin mating intellect and integ rity, an4 disinterestedness, tor which his mends value him so highly 'or when at his country's call, in 1812, he again leaves his home for a soldier's lite. Let us pass over the many engagements he encountered with our savage neighbours, with that man integrity for which his whole lite is characteristic, and proceed with him to New-Orleans, where he filled the measure of his own and his country's glory. There it was, that by his valor report, nas laKen to rejoicing at tnis, or any other victory of the late war; know ins that he was a tearm; if not a distin guished rnember of the party in opposi- tion at tnat ume, wnicn oiscounienanceo enlistments and opposed every loan to the government of the sinews of war seeming more willing to afford a blue light to the enemy, than a dollar to the treasury, or a soldier to the ranks we believe that Gen. Brown would not, with his consent, have led a soldier into Canada, nor Gen. Jackson one to New Orleans.

In the sixth paragraph, after expressing a belief in the general's honesty of heart," singleness of purpose and excellent understanding it is observed That he has not been much conversant with the management of courts, nor exercised in the sophistries vi diplomacy, though placed among his disqualifications, is believed by your committee to 4e a just reason ot preferelce, From this we mighi conclude Jthat, in the writer's estimation, at least, diplomacy consists entirely of so phistrieSy would do as little credit to ms intelligence, as, on the contrary supposition, it does to his candour. Bui this passage, to say the troth, reminds of the skilful fiatterer in Juvenal, who praises the speech of an ignorant, and the facejvn ugly man. A dulandi gens prudentissima laudat Sermonem indocti, faciem deformis amici. The native strength and discrimination of mind, it is said, the firmness and decision of Jackson, have sustained him with credit iu the high and responsible nations in civil life, to which he has been often called." Mr.

Jefferson, however, in common with many others, thought his administration in Florida a complete fail ure, and that a cocA: is as suitable for ailor, or a goose for a soldier, as Gen Jackson for President. Gen. his supporters would have think, like Coriolanus, is "of a natuie too noble for the world He wou "not flatter ISeptune for his trident, Or Jove for his power to His heart's his mouth, What his breast forges, that his tongue must vent. i i If this be really the case, he would, ere now, have retracted his charges against Mr- Clay, disproved by his own witness.

Dog trains of the north west. Extract ot a letter fiom Or. Lvma ti Foote, Ironi Cantonment Biady, Saul St. Marie, Lake Superior, to the Editor Thinking it might be some arouse ment. to you.

to see the mode of travelling 111 the North West, Mrs. Foote ha sketched a dog train which 1 enclose you. -Three dogs will carry a man anri his provisions. The traders travel al livei the wilderness with them, over un beaten snow, generally following th course of rivers. As night approaches, the traveller seeks a thicket, to protect him as much as possible from the wind.

He then digs an alliptical hole in the snow, at one end of which a fire is built. The bottom is covered with evergreen boughs, on which he spreads a blanket, and wraps himself up, with his feet to the fire. If the night is stormy, large evergreen boughs are placed across the hole, supported by the walls of snow on each side. Thus the traveller and his dogs sleep comfortably in the coldest weather." A more particual notice, contained in a letter from Dr. Foote to the editor, is subjoined "The dogs are nearly trained to turn, halt, and go by word of command.

The whip is only meant to crack at them or give any of them a severe whipping if he is obstinate. When (the traveller wishes his dogs to turn to the left, he says, ehuck, or 'chuck, and cracks his little whip on the right side of his train; if to the right, he says and cracks it on the leftside. When they wish them to start or quicken their gait, he says 'march' or 'avance (avaacez f). when they wish to turn short about, they most commonly get out, or pot one foot out, slew the train partly round, and say 'vena (venez ici) or as the Canadians pronounce it, 'vena making a motion with the little whip at the same time. It is asto nishing to see with what facility dogs are taught and managed.

I own a train dogs, one of which 1 broke myself. They are a great amusement to me in the win ter. I frequently ride over the river and a mile or two round, for amusement, and I have, with three dogs, uken my wife and a little boy a mile, to make calls on a genteel family, over the rivsr, (a Mr.J trwatmeen) who nas resmea nere tor ten years, carrying on the fur trade. As to the traveller's sleep you will hardily believe what I tell you. Those who travel with trains think, no more of, sleeping in the woods, in the coldest night, than ou would think of sleeping on your dining, room carpet.

There is a little management necessary, liowever. They first endeavour to select a thicket; they next dig away the snow to tbe ground, whi a snow shoe, which they always carry, and build large fire. They then (after boiling their chocolate, iii.) cover a spot close to tbo fire tritb I nine icseinnung a rural cot. There, with two blankets, they tie down by their fire; dogs and. all, and sreep comfortably all night in Boston Deaths and do mr year joxo, iiir viiy viovernmenc commenced their plan of cleaning the streets by their own workmen and scavengers, in their progress to the more complete removal of nuisances than had previously been uadertakenThe effect of this system opon the general health of the inhabitants has been considered quite remarkable.

The population of by the census of the States, in 1820, was 43,298 by the census taken by the city, in 1825, it was 58277 making increase in five years of 14,979, annual gain of nearly 7 per The number of deaths in the year 1822 giving ihepopulation as the increase, was 1203, or 2 per centum nearly In the year 1825 the deaths to 1259, or nbbut 2 per centum on the whofe number. In other words, Boston, with a popula tion ot over inhabitants, in 1826 lost no more by death than when it contained 0 inhabitants in 1822. In he yeai 1827, the deaths will have a-mounted to 1028, or thereabouts, or only to about 1 per cent, on ifyr whole population, assuming it fo be 60,000.

RRY AN. was taken up and read Resolved, That the Secretary of War be di- rected to lay before this Mouse ine iw'v -the Swash, in Pamptico Sound, N. C. made under an Act of Congress by a brigade of U. S.

Engineers, and their report Mr" SAW Eli moved to amend, by insert, ing after the word SoundMhe "and i rtiins which of the KoanoKe auu was agreed COMMUMCATIONS. It appears that the late1 Legislature haspas-ed a Law prescribing tht die thousand staves shall consist of Ten, instead of Twelve at present established by custom. This sapient measure, is presumed, was devised bv some wiseacre in the jexpectation, that it Would enable the seller to receive the same price for the ten, as for the twelve hundred. 'JN'ow if that could be effected, it voildrbe of very considerable advantage to the State-and should certainly be Considering the subject of some consequence, I am induced to offer my views of it. s'-v It is known to those acquainted with the business that, with the exception of perhaps One, in every market in the United States, every description of Staves are sold by what is called the long thousandj or twelve hundred, -alsc in most of the British West Indie, in many parts of Spain, Portugal, and in The custom has existed' from time immemorial has been found to answer the purpose, and thus an uniform mode of computation has obtained among most dealers in the article a circumstance always convenient and desirable in the operations of trade.

This mode of estimating freight had likewise become established, and ship owners were satisfied with it. The same, arbitrary and apparently irrational mode of computing many articles still exists Iron and Hemp are, throughout the United tates, at this dayi es timated by the ton of 22401bs Will foreign purchasers adjust their mode of computation to this new one If the alteration is to render the computation more simple here, the shipper must experience the variance when he goes abroad. Will the ship owners or carriers consent to a proportionate reduction in the price of freight on staves It is very doubtful or rather almost certain that they will not. In estimating freight, a thousand is considered a thousand, whether of 1000 feet of Lumber or 1000 or 120O Staves and it is shown by the practice "at the port alluded to above, where the short thousand is used. It is totally un important to the purchaser, because every man common sense knows that lie can easily alter his price to correspond with the difference in quantity.

The only effect of this measure, if carried into practice, would be, to compel the shipper to discount (from the seller the same sura for freight of as he now does for 1200; which, as it. is known, a large balance of our carrying trade is in the hands ol foreign vessels, would be) an absolute loss to the State. This the shipper though, can easily do, if the sellers insist on this improvement in computing their staves yet with some trouble, as it is always more or less difficult to alter a long established custom. Legislatures may pass what laws they ptasr for the government of cases confined to the operation of those laws, but cannot controul the practice of individuals in their own private business and it-is recommended to the pur chasers and shippers of slaves throughout the State, to pay no5 attention whatever to this useless regulation, but to adhere to the existing practice as most convenient and roost conducive to the interests of the maker of staves themselves, and therefore to the State. A MERCHANT.

Washington, Jan, 1828. ICT The Editor of the Edenton Gazette is requested to insert the above The Raleigh Jackson Preamble and Re solutions. 'I am sir Oracle, And when I ope my mouth let no dog bark." The praise which has been bestowed on this production, and the reputation or tn writer, rather than any intrinsic merit, entitle it to notice, and make it just, subject it to the strictest examination Its wart of delicacy, indeed, towards thf friends of the administration, its unbeb rain', if not ungentleainnlv expressions oi every artifice to counterfeit strength, and conceal public jipinior of tb extravagance of bombastic panegyrick on Mr, Adams," and "untrue and inconsistent opinions of Gen. ckson, every where circulated," might be our excui. for bestowing some attention on the Pr-amble, and retorting some seventy on it author.

But delicacy seems a trait little characteristic! ot either the leader or his party. There are names, indeed, Conner nected with this meeting, which might Seem more naturally to belong to the other side of the question but in this instance, as in many others, 1 see men's judgments are A parcel of their fortunes; and things ovitcard Do draw the inward quality after thein. The preamble first! goes into anenco mium on Gen. Jackson's military servi ces, the. burden of every address in hi support given to the He tel Js us how the, glory, j.bearoing from in field of Orleans, dispelled the gloom of despondence," arising Ixont other dr feats," and filled the land with the light of triumph" (what kind of light is this is it candle light the sound oi gratulation," That the beams of the General's glory should produce both light and sound is a little marvellous, and would be pleasing to know in what oV partraent of human knowledge" this far or fiction has been discovered.

Bad th writer been candid, he would not represented fAs9 as only cause of sue4 an effect at that time but he-would bav allowed that the tepulse the enemy -Baltimore, and the victories of Flatts-burg and Lake Champiain contribute to it, not less than the victory ot Oilea Uself.
