followed. A short time previously, one oi
the tow-boats, with her consorts, ground-
ed at the same place. ,Ot|ier vessels, to
number twelve, were like“ isc agrounded In
company, within ilie first hour of our dc-.
ienti-»n. ,
While ilius lying at rest upon the Vt.-to,
me “Public Opinion as our hundred ey-
ed fiiend of the State paper would call it,
of the numerous passengers present, was
collected, and, with a single exception, it
was determined among the two hundred
persons on board the Now Pbiladelpliia,
that we would neither support the Veto,
nor any of its numerous authors, nor the
man who signed it, nor the Albany Regen-
cy which approves ofit. The gentleman
who dissented was excused on the ground
that he is deeply interested in one of the
Safety-Fund Banks, and ilie tendency of
the Veto is-to enable him to make honest
people pay seven percent for their loans,
instead ofsix which is all tbatthe Branch-
es ofthe United StaiesBank wish borrow-
ers ofthem to pay. ' «
A committee was then deputed to visit the_
steamers and other craft similarly circum-
stanced, and collect “public opinion" from
;hose sources also. For this purpose the
jolly-boat was manned, and ' a deputation
moved off, under the smiles of the ladies,
the cheers of the gentlemen, and the pen-
sive, ezpostulatiug look of the ‘one’ Jack-
son man. On board ofthe Constellation,
there was not a veto man togbe found.-.-
Thoy all cursed the overslaugh and the ve-
to bitterly, and resolved that Senator Mar-
cy, who with his ,colleagu_e voted against
the removal ofthe former,.instead‘ofbelng
elected to the oflice of Governor, deserved
to be anchored on the bar, as a beacon to
letthe good people know exactly where
those shoals and-bars are situated, which
it is unconstitutional to dig away. .‘ _
The committee next ran along side of
the tow-boats and sloops,comp8I1l0nS N1
misfortune, and found the“publlc opinion”
equally decided on the subject,’and equal-
ly opposed to such “Roiuaus" as they
sent to Washington from Te_nnssee.—-
There was one case ofdoubtful opinion,
however. On board of one of the sloops
were two men, one black and . the other
white. The latter said they had aJack_son
man on board, but as to the veto,"he had
not yet made up his" mind. ' “ Phi: is what
we call ‘Marcy’: Farm," said-a ‘-‘good na-
tured skipper on board of one,,ve_sst:l, to a
friend in another along side. ,'"I‘_-wish in‘
marcyrhe would come and plough it,” was
the ready reply. The result of the craze
was, that had a poll been held», the vote of
the fleet would have been,“ for Henry
Clay, 399. For Gen; Veto Jackson, '1 -.l
At about 7 o'clock, up come the ERIE,
from New-York, Capt. Mandé'water-—-and
ran plumpvaground alongside of’ us. We
spoke our new companion, and procuriiig
a morning's newspaper, were rejoiced to
that the good people of that patriotic state
are as much opposodto being sold to the
British, as we were to lyingvail night upon
the Overslaugh. Thecditor of the Alba-
ny Argus is respectfully requested to place

LANGDON CHEVES’ OPINION.
Tliere is not a man this side the Po-
tomac, of whom the South is more justly
and more emphatically proud,__ihan Lang-
don Clieves. -He is the great man ofthe
South—-a giant in intellect, in eloquence,
in public experience, in legal and constitu-
to his country, he has no superior from
Virginia to Mississippi. All parties in his
native. State have always been proud of
him, and have cherished his f.inir=.’, as a
bi'illiant'porti-in ofS-auih Carolina’s intel-
lectual wealth. The revolutionary party
uflhis State have claimed him,as acting
with themup almost to this very time;
and within one fortnight the Charleston
Mercury and‘ its satellites have sneered
coniemptuously upon the idea of our ex-
pecting co-operrtiion of Mr. Chevesl—
The following letter, just received by our
"committee of arrangements for the dinner-
given in Camden to Gen. Blair, we trust
will satisfy them.
PENDLETON Sept. '4, 1832.—-Gentle-
men : I did not receive your letter of the
23d uli., till y°.8l0l‘(IllY. I thank you for
the invitation which it contains to a dinner
to be given in Camden,«.n the 7th inst..
“ by the State Rights, Union, and Jack-
son party of Kersbaw District in appro-
bation of the political course of their dis-
tinguished representative, General Blair.”
I should be very happy to join, if it
were in my power, in doing this honor to
Gen. Blair, whom I recollect many years
ago, when mutual official duties brought
us ‘together, when he gave ovideiice of the
talents and other high qualities which have
made him “your distinguished represen-
tative.” -
I have however, been so lllle anten-
tive to any thing more than the general
political events of the country for several
years past, that I am not frilly aware ofthe
public course of General Blair; but the
great and critical importance, as well as
the excitement of the public mind on his
vote, and that oftwo other Representatives
of this-State, at the last‘ session of Con-
gress, on the subject of ill? Tariff, has
brought that vote to my notice in the most
impressive manner. I have seen with as-
tonishment and regret, the condemnation
of that vote by many of the most respec-
table citizens of this State ; and I think it
a duty to use the occasion to give this
public testimony, however unimportant,of
my cordial and decided approbation. ofhis
conduct, and that of those gentlemen who
voted with him on this occasion. I coii-
sidcr the act for which they voted a real
and material amelioration of the Tariff as
it previously stood, and a vigorous and suc-
cessful siep towards the total overthrow of
the unjust taxation and coniruercial re-
strainis under which the nation, and par-
ticularly the Southern Stsitos, suffer.
[do this under the perfect conviction
which I derive front the public declarations
of Gen. Blair and his associates in this
vote, as well as the nature and history of
the Act for which it was given, that these
gentlemen have not agreed to any coin-
promise, as to the future, of the great,geu-
eral question at issue; and that they have
not proposed any relaxation of their own
efforts, nor recommended to their constit-
uents any remission of their endeavors to
relieve us entirely from the burthens and
disgrace of the unjust system of which this
bill is a modification. .

Goon News FROM Omo.——The fol-
lowing, conveys the niosi cheering politi-
cal intelligeiice, that we have spread be-
fore our readers for a long time. Ohio
we have always looked upon as a doubtful
S:ate—dcubiful only because the two
members ofthe’ opposition—the Aninia.
sons and National Republicans-—would
not unite. But this union having been
effected by the high-minded and patriotic
course of Gen. M’ Arthur, all is safe with
regard to Ohio, and the twenty-one elec-
tcral votes of that State may now be con-
sidered safe for the opposition.
SIGNS MUL'rirLviNG l—From Ohio we
have inielligencethis morningol the most
cheering import. Animated by the same
zeal and spirit of unanimity which pe[-
vados this State, the opponents ofthe Ad-
ministration in Ohio, have resolved to
concentrate all their efforts upon a single
set of Candidates and of Electors.
We find accordingly by a correspond-
ence published in the Scioto Gazette of
the 12th inst., that Duncan Zlic Artlmr,
the Clay candidate for Governor, has
withdrawn his name—and tliatall efforts
will be concentrated upon ZlIr. Lyman,
preyiuusly in nomination by the Aiiti-Ma-
sonic party.
As a still further earnest ofthe spirit of
harmony and of resolution among the
friends of their country to arrest, if possi-
bi°:_lll9 Profligate career of the present
administration, Messrs. Douglas,and Bono,
both National Republican candidates for
Congress in the 7th district, (which is a
single one)have withdrawn their names
upon Duncan ‘Ma Art/tar’: consenting to
be the candidate. He has done so——and
the Jackson caadidale,Mr. 1|Iurp'h_z/,will be
distnnced by him. New York and Ohio
will then go hand in hand at the next 9-
leciion. Surely Pennsylvania, which has
such strong common interests with both,
-CLAY MEETING IN NEVV YORK.-"=
The friends of Mr. Clay in N. York.-had 3
great Meeting at Masonic Hall, on the 20th
inst. Col. John Trumbull presided. After
the resolutions were read. loud cries were
made for Hiram Ketcbum, Esq., who came
forward and addressed the meeting in a most
able manner. The Daily Advertiser says, Mr.
K. road with great effect Gen. Jackson's lat-
ter to Mr. Monroe, disclaiming the " mon-
slot‘ party," and calling on Mr. M.— to be the
President of the nation and not of " party.”
He then showed that when Gen. Jackson as-
sumed the Government, he adjourned the
Senate. without making any nomination to
them——though he had dismissed 716 oliicers
because they were not of the party who had
put him in power. He went on then fusther
to show the still greater increase of removals.
which. if our memory serves us, noiv amount
to upwards of seventeen huntlred——whi|e those
ofthe previous Presidents were but between
30 and 40. He further reviewed the acts of
Gen. Jackson, showing that he had deserted
his own principles and then emphatically put
the qucstion—can any man be called incurr-
sistent for deserttug the Presiden*, who had
openly violated everv principle upon which
he was chosen. Mr. K. dwelt somewhat tip-
on the promise of Audrew.§Jackson solemnly
made to serve both of them, which he had
confirmed by several messages to Congress.
and showed the flagrant inconsistency in his
procuring himselfto be norniiiatcd_ for a rc-o-
lectiun by a letter written by his secretary
and frankcd by the General himselfaddressed
to a member of the Senate of Pannsylvania.
But, we are exceeding our limits. suffice it
further to say, that Mr. Ketchum pourirayed,
with the hand ofa master, the danger our in-
stitutions were now in, of a vital stab, should
Andrew Jackson be elected.
The following among other resolutions were
then unanimously adopted.
Resolvcd, That the citizens here as-
sembled, condemn and deplore the admin-
istration of Andrew Jackson, during whose
short and withering career as President of
the United States, we have seen the na-
tional honor prostrated abroad——the rights
of personal liberty trampled upon at home
—our public faiih pledged by treaty, Vio-
lated—the Constitution disregarded——t|ie

Resolved, That the intimation contain-
ed in the late4Veto Message, that before
they acted on a subject of great national
moment, the Congress ofthe United States
ought to have consulted-the will and pleas-
uro of the Executive, is a daring outrage
on the rights of the pc0plc—shows an ig-
norance or contempt of the Representa-
tive principle——and was fit only to be ad
dressed to the creatures of a despot.
Resolved, That the doctrine boldly a-
vowed in the same message, that the Con-
stitution of the United States means any
thing or nothing according to the in-
terpretation ofthe Chief Magistrate, aims
a vital stab at the great charter ofuur lib-
orties. "Such a pretension removes all the
restraints imposed by our system of gov-
ernment, aiid, if submitted to, would-give
us an absolute monarch, under the name
ofa President ?
Resolved, That, as freemcn, proud of
our birthright &. taught to regard our pub-
lic functionaries as public servants, we
view with indignation that fawning homage
to the chief magistrate tvl-rich treats the
American people as vassals—born to obey.
Resolved, That we perceive with dis-
approbaiiou the interference of the Do-
partments at \~Vashi.igion, and of our
“ swarms of public officers,” with the e-
lections ofthe people,--believing, in the
language of the illustrious Jefferson, that
“ the constitutional remedy by the elec-
tive principle becomes nothing, ifit may
be smothered by the enormous patronage
of the Government." .

A SMALL RAT.-Th8 following’ is an,
extract of a letter from a respectable citi-
zen ofWinton, N. C. to the editor, and it
is published as a warning to the public :
Wurron, Sept. 26, 1832.
Our Postmaster, Doctor (so called)-
George I. Bason, was caught purloining
money from my money drawer—and has-
“decamped” in the Northern Stage last
Sunday morning for Norfolk. My cash
account had been falling short for the
last 12 or 13 months. We kept a waiclr
and caught the little villain. As -_he may
attempt to pass himself offupon some other
innocent neiglihordood as a gr-ntlem:in,.
and a ‘Doctor,’ you may insert as much
of this letter as you may think the public
good requires, upon my responsibility-—as
the proof is abundent. ' -
A GOOD Rnrt.i'.—"Tliere goes a turn
coai,” Cried a Jncksouian, one day last
week, from inside a store in this
villagn, to afarmer who was passing at
the time on a loaded wagon. "What
would you have,” replied the farmer,
“would you have a man to wear his coat
the wrong side out nllda_v,because he hap-.
pelted to put it on so in the morning?”
The reply was a just one; no man
should be stigmatized with the name of
turn coat who, finding himself in an error,
adopt a different course.

Giini-:ce.—-In the British House of Coin-
mnns, Aug. 6th, Lord Palmerston announ-
ced that a convention had been “all but
formally cunc.udcd” between-the thrce
Powers and the Ottoman Portc, by which
the Northern bntllidnry of Greece was to
run from the Gulph of Volo in the /Egean
Sea, along a range of mountains, to the
Gulph ofArta in the Adriatic. As this
boundary is fixed upon in the Treaty wh.
raises I’riiiceOtho to the throne of Greece,
it may be considered definitively establish-
ed. By looking at the Map, it will bd
seen that the whole ofAcarn-uni and ./Eio_
lia, which are chiefly inhabited by ti Greek
population, are thus included in tho king-
dom of Greece ; whereas by the bounda-
ry bcfore contemplated the whole of A-‘
carnania and the greater part of }Eto|ia,
were included in the dominions ofthe Sul-
tan. The acquisition of this territory is‘
of great importance to the new State, not
only because it adds 2000 or 3000 squard
miles and 80,000 or 100,000 inhabitants
to the country still sufiiciently small, but
because it affords a strongly marked an
easily defensible frontier. Mr. Anderson
who visited Greece in 1829, and whose
map is constructed according to the boun-'
dary fixed by the Protocol of Feb. 3,1830,
running from the Gulpb of Zeitoun inatho
/Egean Sea to the_source ofthe river A
nropo'am_os, and thence along its Soul o
Eastern bank to'where‘ii empties into the
Adriatic, say.-2, “Ill: a pity these tw .
Provinces, Acarnania and }Eto|ia, shoul
have been excluded from the benefits of
"the Revolution, when two thirds the sol-
diers in the Greek army belong to them
and when their inhabitants contributed
more than any other two Provinces to the
success of the struggle, and had been less
completely subjected to the Turlrish rule
than those of the other parts of Greece-—
Mani perhaps excepted." This cause of
regret is now happily removed.
stiiutcd, is variously esiimatetl at 635,000
to 900,000 souls. The extent often‘ orv
including Acarnaniu, ./Etolia and the
ands, is about 18,000 square miles ;
to two fifths of the state of New York
about as thickly populated. ' The M0
or Peloponnesus, comprises 7,227 squa
miles; being about equal in extent to th
State of Massachusetts. -
‘The new King Otho of Bavaria, is a
youth of 17 years. ,He takes with him in--
io Greece, 3,500 Bavarian soldiers, who
will relieve the French troopsnow in tho’
Morea.
i. e. until he is twenty years bf age, his
rights of sovereignty are to‘ be exercised,
in their full extent, by a Regency tr mist-
ing ofthre Councillors to be appointc ‘
the King of Bavaria. ' I '
To defray the expenses incident to the
formation and maintenance "of the new
government, England, France and Russia,
in equal proportions, provide and become
resgrazisilile for a loan of 20,000,000 francs,
obligations to furnish two additional instal-
ments of rqual amount if the oxigencics_of_
the country shall require it. From the
funds thus provided, a suitable indemnity
is to be paid to Tuikeyvfor the relinquish‘-
mont of Acarnania and 1Etolin. The
whole is to be refunded by the Greek gov-
ernmentin due time, and for the payment
ofthe interest and a certaiiiamount ofthe
principal annually, its revenues are mort-
gaged to the three Powers.
It is mortifying to see the land of De-‘
mosthenes thus trammelled and fcttcred by
foreign associations}. yet all things co
sidered,:a better result could not have“
ibeon reasonably expt-cted._ ‘She was tan‘
ken up by the three Powers" when in a’
«state of extreme depression, and all that’
she differs from a dependency of 'I'url;ey‘,-,
"rendered more abject by her‘ ineffect-ua‘
struggle!‘ to-.be free, she owes to foreign’
interference. Uuderitheso circumstances
we have no right to complain of - her fat .
and can only hope that the glowing pic.
ture of Lord Palmerston may be realized,
when he said “It required no very sun‘ t
ed Venice and Genoa during tip; 1;,‘;;j,,,,,,'
