Presidential Election. To ialloivfa lllIl”lOt'.lI_V_‘
to controlwould he a7depart_ure from repobli'-
can principles. Ifthe principle ofjrequiring
a majority isadopted, it is barely possible that
the people will not elect?‘ That the power of
the state might be felt, he wished the majori-

' ty to elect,and ifthey failed‘to let the‘ legisla-

ture choose in the waynow prescribed by law.
Mfr. Finch observed that for a century the
state had been Iiniformally in the practice of

' choosing by a plurality ; and Why should the

practice now be changed ? Had the people
asked it? Was there one in a hundred that
wished it? They understand all about this
subject,and will write their sentiments with a
pen of iron. They did not want this new
priiiciple inserted in the law: their eyes were
fixed on the legislature and they would con-
sider it"a.'s :1 trick to defraud them of their
rights. They were ' fully capable of judging
of the design of our measures. Gentlemen
need not suppose that they brought with them
to Albany all the sagacity ofthe state.

Mr. Tallmadge said the question could not
be properly, appreciated without recurring
back to the history of the state. He should
take it for granted that the people could be
trusted with their rights, until some gentleman
should deny it. The main question would
therefore be, how shall that trust be executed?
The law of 1792 recites in its outset that the
legislature had not time, or they would have
then given this power to the people. In 1796
the law was revised-.-and yet the people were
bound down by the same act, and quietly slept
in their fetters. But the time had now arri-
ved when its resumption was demanded by
them in terms that could not be refused. The
committee say in their report that the state
has flourished imder the existing law for 80
years. Bot has this law contributed to that
prosperity? The Constitution was adopted
in 1787, and where did this question slumber
from 1787 to 1799.? The excuse ofthe want
oftime was unfounded. In 1788 blood was
shed in state streetou the occasion of adopting
the constitution, and about the same time was
formed the first conspiracy to rob the people
of their rights. There was a division ofthe
two houses, and conference after conference
was held without efl'ect,and thus the right was
withheld for the alledged want oftime..' The
controversy has continued from that time to
this, and although the people_ now demand
their rights, we have an executive who advi-
ses us to wait for a more convenient time !—
Mr. T. concluded by expressing his wish that
Mr. VVaterman’s substitute might prevail, as
it was more perfect in its details, and correct
in its principles, than that‘ reported by the
committee of nine.

Jan.‘ 31.—A petition was presented for the
incorporation ‘of a bank at Brooklyn, L. I.——
A petition was also presented for an amend-
ment of the constitution so as to render elect-
ive the oflice of justice of the peace. The
house then went into committee on the electo-
ral bill. Mr. VVheaton said he should vote
for receiving Mr. VVaterman’.s bill, because he
believed it to have been submitted with honest
views, for the purpose of granting to the peo-
ple their rights, and because it was a much
better drawn bill than the one reported by the
committee of nine. Ofthat bill he must say
it was the most imperfect, slovenly-drawn bill
he had ever seen ; not merely as to technical-
ities, but in entirely omitting several essential
provisions in any permanent law relative to
this highly important matter. Mr. ‘Wheaton
offered an amendment toMr.VVaterman’s bill,
providing,lst,that the whole 36 electors should
be chosen by the people, by general ticket;
2d, that 34 ofthem should be assigned in _due
proportion,to the respective Congress districts;
3d,'that a plurality of a votes throughout the
state should determine the choice.

Mr. VVaterman’s substitute was accepted.
The first section being under consideration,
Mr. VVheatoumoved to amend it so as to re-
fer to the people not only the choice of the 84
but 36 electors. Mr. VVaterman rose to ex-
plain his bill. He was in favor of having a
majority elect. It had been said that requir-
ing a majority was contrary to the usages of
the state. He would admit that it was so, in
reference to the elections that are confined to
our state government. But it was otherwise

v in all the elections pertaining to the choice of

President ofthe U’. S. These were always
upon the principle of a majority. Again
Mr. W. contended that there was a greater
proprietyin an election by the people of 84
than of36 electors. The 34 answered to the
number of representatives chosen by the peo-
ple, and the remaining 2 to the Senators, who
were chosen by the legislature.--—-Mr.lVhea-
ton’s amendment was adopted.

[No important business was transacted by
the legislature on the 2d and 3d inst.)

On the 4th, the bill providing for the choice
of Electors of President and Vice President
by the people, was passed as reported by the
Committee, by a vote ofl10 to 5. A motion
to amend the. bill, so as to require only a plu-
rality of votes for a choice, was lost, 5% to 64.

Benjamin Knower, Esq. was unanimously
appointed Treasurer of the State.

Senate, Feb. 6.—The Electoral bill, from
~the House, was referred to the committee of
the Senate on so much of the Governor’s

' Message as relates to that subject.

No business was done in the House of any
importance, on the 6th and 7th, except recei-
ving and granting petitions for banks, &*.c.

SteamBoat ca~use.—On the 5th and 6th inst.
the cause of Gibbons vs Ogden, was argued
before the Supreme Court at Wasliingtoii, the
six judges present. Mr.VVebster,for the plain-
tiff, argiieil lst, that the laws ofN. York are
originally void, even without coming in COIIl-
sion with the constitution and laws oft'heU-S-3
Eld, that if they were not so they are impera-
tive when they come in collision with the U.
S. laws, as in the presentinstance. Th_ese.two
positions, says the Statesman, were lortified
with all his ingeiiiiity,research and eloquence.

‘ Mr.Oakley, for the defendant, did not, howe-

ver, appear at all intimidated, butset about at-
tacking the ramparts of law, which had been

‘ erected, with his coolness. He broke ground

at a great distance from the imnied_i:i.te ques-
tion,and commenced a system ofuiinmg. Ilis
argument thus far has been chiefly confined
to a description of the powers of the general
and the state governments, contending that in
many cases they are concurrent, which Mr."
\Vebster denied in toto. Mr. Emmet and the
Attorney General are yet to speak.

Advices from Havana represent the native

-inliabitants of Cuba to hetotally averse to sub-

jection to an imperious government, which at
the distance of I600 leagues, rules over them.

“VlR'l‘UE,LlBER’1‘Y,AND INDEPENDENCE.” '

Distressing.-'—-A daughter, and as we learn,
anonly child,ofMr.SteplienNash, living near
Saugatuck Bridge, about four years old, was
burnt to death onFriday afternoon last, incon-
sequence of her clothes catching fire. She
was alone in the house at the time.

A steam boat of 280 tons, intended to run
between Hartford and New-York, if the re-
striction‘ upon steam navigation shall be set
aside by the Supreme Court, was launched at
New-York on the 4th inst. She is called the
“ Oliver Ellsworth,” in compliment to the late
Chief Justice of the U. States.

Small Pox. A physician in Baltimore
states that the disease now prevalent in the
country, called by some the varioloid, is noth-
ing more nor less than the true small pox, oc-
curing in consequence ofimperfect vaccination;
that out of 400 persons vaccinated by himself
during the prevalence ofthe small pox in Bal-
timore, not one was attacked with varioloid,
while many others who had the kine pock im-
perfectly, owing to the use ofspiirious virus,or
injur_v done to the piistnle,werc affected with ii.

Congressional Caucus.—'I‘lie editor of the
N.Y. Statesman writes from VVasliingtou, that
181 members of both Houses of Congress are
known to be opposed to a ‘caucus ; 67 in fa-
vor, and 10 doubtful. This information is de-
rived, not from hearsay, but from an accurate
canvass ofthe sentiments ofthe members.

/Jfair ofHonor.—A duel was lately fought
in Lee county, Virginia, between two negro
fellows, belonging to Edward Pennington and
John Hoover, about a negro girl belonging to
Pennington. The fellow belonging to Pen-
nington fell dead at tliecrack of the gun; the
other survived a few days.

The Charleston Courier says, that the first
duel fought in the United States was between
two of the Pilgrihns of Plymouth.

The Legislature of Alabama has passed a
law to abolish the imprisonment offemales
for debt. Asimilar law respecting males was
postponed.

‘ Washington Collegc'.—A writer in the Mid-
dletown Sentinel, who signs himself “ An E-
piscopaliau,”siates that the Rev.Mr.Wheaton,
ofHartford,who left the U.States some months
since for England, to solicit donationsin behalf
of VVashington College, is likely to fail in a

great measure in his undertaking, in conse-
quence ofBishop Hobarl’s giving out that an-
other Seminary of Learning was not wanted

in this country.

FourGrect'an Youths, natives of the Grecian
Islands, are now in New-Haven, receiving an
education. They were selected by the Ameri-
can Missionaries iii Malta, and sent to the U.
S. by permission of their friends. They are
under the Patronage of the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.

Upwards of $1040 have been raised in
Newark, N. J. for the benefit ofthe Greeks.

The American Missionaries, Messrs. Fisk
and King, have ‘taken up their residence on
Mount Lebanon, in Syria. ‘Mr. King remarks
that the country about Jerusalem is quite as
rocky and mountainous as the’ western part of
Massachusetts. He ‘ had visited Bethlehem,
the birth place of David and ofourLord——the
town where David tended flocks in his youth,
and where Boaz and Ruth lived. He found it
extremely rough and stony and the road very
bad. It is a few miles south ofJerusalem.

Contributions for Maivie Sufl'erers.—Tlie
Committees appointed by the Towns of Wis-
casset and Alna, to solicit contributions for
the relief of the sufferers by fire in those pla-
ces, have officially announced,that the amount
of contributions rec’d by them, is as follows :

In Cash, 819,882 927
In Clothing, » 4,461 47

Eight negro slaves were hung at F-alinouth,
Jam. on the 28th Dec. charged with an at-
tempt to excite a rebellion. Their plan was
to massacre the whole of the white inhabit-
ants and free blacks. Thirty three slaves are
in prison awaiting their trial, charged with
rebellious acts. ,

./l_/ire broke out on the 2d inst. in the build-
ing occupied by Collius $1. Hannay, Booksel-
lers, and J. &L J. Harpers, Printers, which de-
stroyed property to the ainouut of$15,000, the
greater partof which was insured.

The large woollen factory in Huntington,
L. I. was set on fire on the 26th uli. by an ap-
prentice in the factory, and 15,000 weight of
wool destroyed. The building was fortunate-
ly saved.

Kidn.apper.—-Tlie Delaware Gazette states
that the notorious Jos. Johnson, who was so
long concerned in kidnapping negroes, and
conveyin'g them out of Pennsylvania was tri-
ed and convicted at the last session ofthe court
of common pleas for the county of Sussex,
and sentenced to receive 39 lashes on the bare
back at the public whipping post, to stand in
the pillory for an hour, to have his ears nailed
thereto, and the soft part cut off.

The Mail Stage from Baltimore was upset,
on the 2d inst. between Baltimore and Water-
loo Inn, by a cart running against it, by which
accident the mail was detained an hour or two
beyond its tiine,having to ivait for a later stage.
Among the passengers in the stage which up-
set, were Judge Story, and Mr. Ogden, of N.
York. None ofthe passengers, we learn, sus-
tained material injury from the accident.

LaFa_i/ette.-—In the year 1787 there was a
destructive fire in Boston, in consequence of
which many of the inhabitants were reduced
to want. The Marquis L2iFayette, who was
then in France, having heard ofthe calamity,
iuimediately wrote to ii friend inMas'sacliusetts,
expressing his sympathy fo_r the sulfi'=.i‘ei's, and
directing him to draw a bill on him for 300
pounds sterling, to be applied towards their re-
lief. The bill was accordingly drawn, the mo-
ney was received, and was applied according
to his direction. The father of one of the
present members ofCougress fi'omPennsylva-
nia, (Mr. Br-eck ) was the gentleman to whom
the letter was addressed, and his son still pre-
serves it as a prccioiis memorial ofthe philan-
thropy and Aineric;in feeling of L:iFayette.—
This .’.\_mericau feeling has inileed been mani-
fested by every act of his life. It is WeII‘I{ll0\\'ll
that the I~.Iarquis has an only son, who hears

the iiaiiie‘of Geo. Wasliiiigtuii, and only two

daughters, one of ivlioiit is ‘called Virginia,
and the other Carollna.——J\I‘at. lntcll.

- Horrid -JlIurder.—VVe have ‘received from
a respectable source, and one to be relied on,
the following particularsofa most painful and
unheard-oftransactioii. On Saturday last, a-
bout two miles from New Brunswick, Josiah
Stout, Jr. about 29. years ofage, and who had
been married about three years to Maria Van
Arsdaleii, daughter of Abraham Van Arsda-
len, Esq. late Sherifl' of Middletown County,
New-Jersey, committed «the horrid crime of
murdering his wife. Our informant states,
that about 9 months since, Mrs. Stout, incon-
seqnence of ill treatment from her-husband re-
turned to the house of her father, where she
was confined, and delivered of a dead child.
Onsaturday last,Stout put his frequent threats
previously iuade. into execution. In the ab-
sence of his wife’s father,he went to the house,
armed with two pistols and a dirk. On his
approach, the mother of the unfortunate wo-
man, apprized her daughter of her danger,
who flew to a room and locked herself in.-—
Soon after Stout broke into it, but his wife
made her escape into the garden in the rear
—-he pursued, overtook her, and stabbed her
three times in her left breast——she fell—tlie
monster seized her by one arm, dragged her
back to the house, where he stabbed her six
times more, aml she breathed her last, it is
supposed, before the villiun had ceased using
his blood stained dagger! This done,lie lock-
ed himself in a room no doubt with an inten-
tion to destroy those who might attempt to se-
cure liiin. By this time some of the neigh-
bors had assenibled, and Mr. Abraham Suedi-
ker burst in the door, and seized him. At this
moment he discharged one of the pistols as if
with an intention of committing suicide, but
there was no ball in the charge, and one of his
whiskers was only slightly singed. . The other
pistol was discovered to conta_in nothing but
powder and a wad. He was conveyed to jail
at New Brunswick, without having made any
disclosures. The wretch was visited in the
evening by his father, at which time he was,
apparently,in a state ofinsanity.——JV'. Y. Gaz.
[A jury ofinqiiest have implicated William
Soloman, a young man, as accessory to the
murder: he is also in jail. Stout is the son of
most respectable, worthy and pious parents.]

_ Courts Marlt'al.—The great number of
Courts Martial caused by the disputes among
our Oflicers, ofbotli Army and Navy, liave,in
our opinion, a very mischievous tendency-
iliey are not only disadvantageous to the par-
ties concerned, but likewise to the services in
which they are employed. They engender
unkind feelings, and are looked upon with se-
cret satisfaction by the enemies of the service.
We should not be at all surprised, ifthe cost
of these Courts were made a subject of Con-
gressional inquiry ; and our officers may rest
assured, there is a party in the United States
who would make a good handle ofthe circum-
stance. Imerest should therefore bind them
to each other; and there should be less jeal-
oiisy,less bickering and quarrelling, less fight-
ing and complaining, and endeavoring to‘dis
grace by accusations which lead to trials be-
fore courts inartial.—Frecman’s Journal.

.’\/"cw Jersey Sleel.—\Ve'are gratified to learn
that a company was soiue tiiue since formed
in New Jersey, for the purpose of manufactu-
ring Steel, and has succeeded beyond the most
sanguine expectations of the inilividuals coin-
posing it. The steel which they have already
made, has been tried in various ways, and is
found to be of the first quality. It is worthy
ofremark,that the steel which was made from
native iron, was found to be much preferable
to that manufactured from Swedish and Rus-
sian iron ; it was more malleable and ductile,
and possesses greater elasticity, while it was
susceptible of as high a temper as cast steel.

The company has taken measures to have
the quality of their steel tested, by making ar-
rangeinents with the Secretaries of the War
and Navy Departments, to have it tried in the
armories of the U. States. V\'e trust that it
will equal the wishes of the enterprising gen-
ileineii, who will thus confer a favor on their
country, by furnishing another means of iii-
dustry and independence.—U. S. Gazette.

The Philadelphia Board of Health report
110 deaths in that city the past week. Nine-
teen persons died ofuatural Small Pox.

Tivelve persons died of the small pox at N.
York week before last.

From the ./V. Y. Evening Post.

INDIAN \‘YARS.——A party of hunters, con-
sisting oftweiity-oiie persons, in the employ
of Major M’Elmnrray,ofArkansas, were late-
ly attacked on the Blue river, by the Indians,
and the greater part of them put to death.-
One ofthe number only, a Mr. Isaac Penn-
ington, had escaped, who states that previous
to the attack, the party discovered from the
Prairies being on fire, and other signs,that the
Indians were near them. They also discov-
ered, the head ofa man (scalped) sticking on
a pole, in a prairie, which _was supposed to have
been done by the saiue party of Indians. In
consequence of these signs, a party of four
men was sent to the Indians, with presents,
to conciliate them. This party, howev-
er, did not return, and it is supposed they
were murdered; for,.while their companions
were hourly expecting their return, the In-
dians,(Osages,)to the amount of about two
hundred, rushed upon them, and although the.
party made considerable resistance, they were
completely overpowered by the superior num-
bers ofthe enemy. Mr. Pennington happen-
ed fortunatety to be a short distance from their
camp, where the men were collected, and suc-
ceeded in securing his retreat in a neighbour-
iug cane-brake, where he remained until the
Indians had retired. After waiting some time
Mr. P. ventured to the camp, (for the purpose
ofprocuring some provisions, to enable him
to reach the settlements,) and he there beheld
the mangled remains of several of his com-
panions, murdered, scalped and stripped, and
found the camp completely pillaged. It was
dark when he returned, and suspecting that
some of the Indians might be lurking near
him, he did not stop to examine the bodies of
his iiinrdered companions, buthe recognized
that ofold Major Welborn, from the upper
part ofthe county. Having found a bull‘zilo’s
tongue, being the only article ofprovisioiis the
savages liadleft, he sat out for the settlements
on Red river. 'I‘he_Indiaiis_ followed him two
days, and also stole at number of horses from
Judge Brice’s company 6f’Mustang hunters,
whom he fell in with.

Subsequent accounts received at Arkaiisaw
mention, that another party, under the direc-
tion ofMr. Barriqne, ofArkansas coiinty,wlio

were hunting in the neighbourhood of the a

by the Indians, and some of them killed. As
some of the men belonging to this last party
had heard from several of.Major McElmui'-
ray’s hunters, who were supposed to have been
killed, it was hoped the loss oflives was not so
great as was at first apprehended. It_ would
appear from the accounts ofthis shocking af-
fair, that there is not a suflicieut force in this
quarter to chastise the aggressors. Gov. Mil-
ler is stated to be absent in New-Hampshire,
and Mr. Crittenden, secretary and acting gov-
ernor, on a visit to Kentucky,‘ and neither of
them were expected back for several months;
while the militia is represented to be in an al-
most unorganized state. Matters, indeed,are
said to have arrived at such a crisis with the
Indians along the whole western frontier,from
the head waters ofthe Mississippi to the Spain-
ish provinces, that unless some. prompt meas-
ures are immediately taken by our govern-
ment to check and punish the increasing‘ hos-
tility ofthe savages, it would soon be unsafe,
fora hunter or trader to venture beyond the
limits ofour settlements. _. . . -
