TUE-SD.AY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1826.
We are not conscious ofindnlgiiig an over
‘_enxious desire for the honor of a political coit-
_N'<,>,V8t%_v with the editors of “ a paper printed
at Bridgeport, as they seem to iiiia_gine.——-
We '-tststire them, however, that altliotigli the‘
disposition may be wanting, the “ why and
the wherefore” is not, by any means. For
{"078 than a year past we have been exceed-
"lgly disgusted with the false pretences and
tleceptions which certain editors liaveniade
use of for__the paltry purpose of obtaining a
little political superiority, which, when ob-I
Iallledr if it should ever he, cannot competi-
Fale for the means by which it was effected.
here is as much depravity in the use of de-
ceptive means for the attainment ofa politic-
at end, as of any other; but it is a kind olde-
pravity the turpitude of which is too seldom
fealized» And it was because we saw the
Patriot treading in the steps of which we have
complained, and of which we have a right to
complaiu,that we saw fit to notice it. For our
‘own part we care not how much the editors
oppose caucusses, or denounce the state ad
"ministration, ifthey will not do it under false
pretences. Let them hang out true colors.
and they are welcome to all the advantage
they can gain. Honesty is every where the
best policy, and we like to see it as well in an
opponent as a coadjiitor. '

The Presideiitial t-aiiipaign appears to havi‘
already coriiinenned in New Jersey. The
contest tliere. will between Adams and Jack
son. A meeting for the nomination of meni-
hers ofthe next Congress was held at Trenton
on the 90th inst at which the only qtic-siion
-seemed to have been whether the caiididates
were Adams or Jackson men. No other qiial-
ificrtlittn was demanded, and as a natural con
sequence there was no great harmony in the
iiitetiiig, which was coiiiposed of the friends
ofboth candidates, and in the end two tlckt-.i.s
‘were: formed. A letter from Trenton says
that while one ofthe Adams men was adtlrcs
sing the meetiuga Jacks:-niaii interrupted 81.
called him a liar,\ liich W'?s pmmptli answer
ed by a knockdown argunieut, .r =d the Jack-
soniarr was laid sprawling upon ti.».-- flour. A
great disturbance ensued, and the St-cietaijr
ordered the meeting (llSStll\‘tid. After this the
friends ofthe two canrlidates met at separate
places, and formed their tickets.
It is in contemplation, and some progress
has already been made in the pl:tn,to establish
an extensive literary and scientific iiisttttitioit
in or near the city ttfNf’-lV York, which is to
Unite in one large University “ all the advan-
tages ofour best colleges, and the military and
scientific academies at West Point and Mid-
dlt-town, and a gyriirrasitiin.” 'l‘hose who
have seen the plan ofthe inteiided edifice,say
it will be a noble and beautiful structure.
The spet-nlating iirania of last year contin-
ties to shew its resultsin England. By the
last arrivals we have accoiiitts of the ineetings
ofthe stttckholders ofseveial Mining and In-
surance coinpanies, at which the conduct or
the inaii.-tgers was itnpiigited and the severest
‘.‘ef’i_t-.cti-‘iris cast upon all who were itistruiiien-
rel it: getting tip these t-oucerns. A‘ severr-il
of the meetings most disc_rrar~et'ril pr-or-eeditig,
took place. The lie was given to many (lis-
tIl‘l1._{l)lslle;l individuals, and the most intleceii!
and niigeiitlcmatil) langtt-.rx_-etised by all par
ties towards each other. It appeared that
sortie of the most successful spectilators t-mt
realised from their r.-per:rtir_ins sortie £40,000.
-and others 50, and £60.000 sterling, and all
this taken directly from the pockets of tits-
boiiest and unsuspecting without any kind of
remuneration. The. consr-quence is that suits
are to be commenced. which no doubt will
swallow tip all these misgotten gains. The
directors of some of the companies deem it
advisable to dissolve, btit being unable to do
it openly without reftindiiig the tnoiiey they
have expended are seeking some secret meth-
od of doing it. The dissolution of several iii-
surance companies are inentiotied whose losses
have been such as to render it unavoidable.
A man was recently sentenced to imprison-
ment in New York for brutal usage of his
‘horse. The Mayor it seems being informed
ofthe circumstance went in person and ex-
amined the horse and found a large space on
his back to be a mass ofcorruption from which
the blood was constantly flowing bv the ex
recreation of the harness. The man was im-
mediately apprehended and after trial com-
grilled, and the horse sent to pasture.
The Georgia papers give an accoiiut of a
melancholy accident which recently occurred
at Macon to a man who had been imprisoned
for the crime ofdebl. It seems that h_v th-:- as
sistrince of friends he had brokej-ail, but upon
being retaken, for greater security a rope was
put about his body, and in this manner he
was conducted tojail. Night came on, atid
in the dark his conductor’s horse fell oil‘ it
bridge carrying his rider with him and drag-
ging the prisoner from the horse ad which he
was mounted, with such force as to cause his
‘aimmsdiaie death.
Black.s.—-Yesterday the Park was crowded
with uegroes, hovering around the Police of-
fice and City Hall. It seems that a family of
1‘:otoi'ed people was claimed by their owners in
V:.ginia, and the Manuniission Society step-
pt-tl forward to prevent their being sent home,
but the Magistrates on having full testimony
beiore them declined setting them free.—'
Wlien the negroes without were intentionally
‘informed ofthe fact they became outrageous
and threatened to take the lives ofthose con-
'cerned. Several ofthe oflicers were roughly
handled; a Virginian gentleman had his
nose btoke;'we are told a gentleman narrowly
escaped being killed with a poignard, and sev-
eral persons who claimed the lamily were 0-
bliged to retreat by the back way.—.N'. Y.Inq.
Sharon Canal.—The country st_ockholders
of the Sharon Canal had a meeting on Thurs-
" day evening, to ascertain what had become'of
93,000 dollars oftheir money paid in as the
first instalment ; when, after much ldeliberb
tion and explanation, it was discovered that it
was paid to A, who loaned it to B, who trans-
ferred it to C, who made it over to D, who
loaned it finally on sundry securities, and the

Meeting the American’ Bda7"r_i.—-5-The All!-
Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis-
sions, held their annual‘ 't.leetiug at i‘r“iiddle-
tbwri,Ct. on Thurs‘day, Frida_v,and Satufllayr
of week before last. On Thursday evening,
was delivered the annual Sermon, by the REV:
Dr. Gritfiu, President of Williams College,
from Matthew 9.8 ;‘ 18, 19', 20. It is worthy of
tliehigli reputation-ofthe author, and h.=.’s-just
issued frotii the press in this city as the fourth
number of the " National Preacher.” On
Friday afternoon the Report was read by Mr.
Evtirts, the Corresponding Secretary, which
we have heard spoken of asa document of
peculiar interest. He was followed by the
Rev. Mr. Stew‘art,Missionary at the Sandwich
Isl-aiids, in an Address which‘ was chiefly ta-
ken tip in describing the wretched state of
society in those islands during the reign of
idolatry and oppression; and the very pleas-
ing contrast which in many’ parts ofthein is
now exhibited. On Friday evening a sermon-
was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Spring. of this
city, on the internal evidencein favour of the
authenticity of the Scriptures.
All the public exercises, says the Middle-
towu Gazette, were interestitig; btit ifwe
must say that any one extorted our approba-
tion niorethau another, we would mention the I
visit ol the Board to the Academy. Captain
Partridge, with ll politeness highly creditable
it. liitiiselfaiid the Iustitiition over which lie
pri-sides, invited the members of the Board 3L
straiigers ofdistinction to examine the Acad-
einy, and escorted them from the Lecture
Rooiii, at the head ofotie huiidied of his pu- -
pils We had anticipated mere ceremony 8:.
military display ; but something iiioie was
designed. On the arrival ofthe pi't)(:eS5l0tI at
tiie Hall or the Lyceum, Captain Partridge
made it brief address, expressing-his favorable
opinion ofthe object of the Board, his gratifi-
cation at the increasing success til their la-
bors, and his conviction ofthe attspicious eli-
tcct, which their labors intist eventually pro
duce oti the best interests of mankind. 'I‘tie
Rev. Dr. Spring, and the Rev. Dr.Proudfii
replied successively to this address in an atri-
lltdled strain of eloquence, and in the Ian
gu-age of parental tenderness and atfetttiuit to
the young gentlemen present.-—.V'. Y. Obs.
We have this day to announce the deatlt of
William Bayard, Esq. ofthe house ofLe Roy,
B ward I51. Co. in the 65th year of his age. He
expired on llonday night at his seat in West-
chvster, after a protracted and painful illness
of many months. No event has occu'red for
a long time ttiat is so universally lainented.——
Otir city is bereft ofotie of its most respected
and tlistingnislied citizens. Mr. Bayard has
long been known as a Merchant whose enter-
prise, ptobity and liberality have raised liiui
to the highest eminence in that character, not
only in this country but throughout the corri-
nierczal world. In his private cliatacter he
was not less elevated amongst his eXlell5lvr-
acquaititaiice by his many excellent qualities.
" Uniformly affable. generous and i\llltl,COtlrl-
cons and gentlenianly in his deniuaiior, open
hearted and uiisnspec-ting in his dealings, he
has descended to the grave with the regrets St. ,
alfectioii-ate re.nieinbtaiit:e ofa most numerous
and respectable family cuiiiiection,:riid of his
fellow citizens at large.”—-Mercrittlile .r1d-v.
The ingetiious operation ofthe laying of a
mower cable of the largest size, attracted a
niianber of spectators to the rope walk or J..s.
Ramsay on Saturday morning. So cxteiisive
is the establisliiiicut of this getitleiiieii, and so
iroiiipli-te in all llS parts. that the cable of one
lrimdred and twenlyfalhoins in length. was
fllitSll(‘(I in the very short space or tllJ£"ll(y_fuu7'
rtiimtles, and in the riiost laittil'iil and wait.-
tnatulike manner! It is intended for the frig-
ille built ship Baltimore. now fitting for sea
in this port. The. cable was upwards of ‘.24
iuctiesiti circtirrileieiice. and weighed more
than 12,000 pounds. We believe we may add
with great safety, that, size, weight and time
beiiig considered, it is th-.- most extraordinary
piece of work of the kind ever accornplislied
tit this country.-—-Baltimore paper.
Delaware and Hudson Camal.—Ii is stated
that this Canal will be rzoznpleted in the course
of six weeks, unless impeded by some unto‘-
watd circumstance. The company have it in
contemplation to let the water in this season,
and run a boat through the whole line of the .
canal. The extraordinary progress of this
great work,sitice its coinrnericeriieiit is almost
unparalleletl, and reflects niueli honour upon
the enter prising cornpauy.—-.‘l1erc. ./Idv.

wtiicli has blockaded up the road leading to
llount Washington. Mr Crawford, with two

with their lives. They had attempted to as-
cend the Hill, bin apprehending some danger
retreated just in season to_ escape the threat-

ficiating in the pulpit, and scorched one in
both of his whiskers. From the lace of thr-
reverend gentleinau it passed off without be
ing ftirtlier noticed.
On Saturday evening, as the steatnbo-at
Henry Eckford,was proceeding for Albany
with liei tow boats, an elderly woman in the
act of passing from one of the latter, slipped
and fell overboard about 0 feet abrift the wa
ter wheel. The alarm being given, Captain
Reed,- who waslying down at the titne, in an
instant sprang from his state room, and with
his usual presence ofmind ordered the engine
stopped, and the boat manned, and immedi-
ately jutnped itito it without hat, coat or shoes.
In a few minutes he succeeded in finding the
woman, apparently lifeless, but on taking her
on board the boat she in a short time revived.
Those who witnessed the occurrence, expres-
sed great approbation ofthe promptitude of
Captain Reed on the occasion, by which the
life of the woman was saved.—.Merc. ./idv.

We "state-as an extraordiiiary fact, that on
Monday the grave and skilful Chess Player
found a conqnerer in a Bostonian, in one ol
his most favourite ends of games; and Wtts
compelled to succumb, we believe for the first
time since his arrival in America, any reports
from the Commercial Eniporititn to the con-
trary notwithstanding. Those who saw the
contest, say, the Turk had the best of the
game after several moves, but by a careless
play, lost his advantage and the game. He
appears however, to bear his loss with gravity,
and has since continued ltis successful career.
