CENSUS or HART]-‘ORD.-—ACC0l'dlDglfllllc re-
port ofthc Deputy Marshal, who has just com-
pleted the census of Hartford, the population cg‘
the City and Town is 12.793. In 1830 the
number was 9.617. showing an increase in ten
years of 3.176. The population of the city a-
lone at the present time is 9,468. In 1830 it
was 6.896, showing ati increase ol'3,-572.

Gtzx. M'Kt:Ax.-It is mentioned in the Brad-
ford county papers, that the late melancholy act
ofthis gentleman was committed under the in-
fluence ofopiurn, which had been administered
to allay the pains of an acute chronic rheuma-
tism. Sonie hopes are now etertained of his
recovery.

LYCI-IU.\f.-—It will be seen by their advertise-
ment in this paper, that the Lyceum propose
a discussion in regard to the effects of abolition.
This is no o*dinary subject. In every aspect it
demands examination._ In respect to the prob-
able results. its past effects uiust be peculiarly
instructive. Tire design, in selecting this topic,
is to awaken attention, and quicker) action. Du-
ringthe warm season.the attedarrce at the Ly-
ceum. both of audizors and members, has be-
come alarmingly small. It is now time to re-
strnie activity, and be in earnest. To coin-
mence this, a subject nfgrcat notoriety and vital
importance is presented. May it not be rea-
sonably expected that such a consideration will
arouse those who think the mind bencfitted by
exercise, and diligence necessary to improve-
ment?

Let parents and teachers, and especially the
members, be deeply conscious that individual
effort is the main spring of public good. and act
up to their convictions. Let us try.

Cabinet, and they come to us in such a shape
that we cannot question them. It is said that

already too long. and Mr. Poinsett is to take his
place. \Vhat becomes of Mr. Paulding we are

‘State Eagle, hitherto a Loco Foco journal, but
which has just taken the prev-ai-ling epidemic
the’ in an unnatural way, which has lead totlre
removal of Martin Van Buren’s ‘figure-head’
from its cut water. As yet, it is scudding un
der bare polls. btit we expect ere long that the
names of Harrison and Tyler will receive its
free and able support.

It is our solemn and firm belief that the
great mass of the supporters of Van Burcn,
Kendall, Niles, & Co., not only in Connec-
ticut but througout the Union, are ivolully
deceived as to the Objects to be gained by
prolonging the power of these men for an-
other term of four years. lVe have seen
enouglr to convince us that their motives in
soliciting an extension ofthnt power. are not
patriotic, but mercenary and selfish in the
highest degree. It is very apparent that
they want to succeed in the present conflict,
from a desire to obtain a party triumph, and
in order that they may rejoice and tyran-
nize over their opponents, rather thanifrom
an honest belief that the rights and liberties
of the people would be safe only in their
iands. This desire also seems to stimulate
very man oftbeir adhr.-rents and supporters;
and we fearlessly declare that wbereisuch a
motive does exist, it is fedcrzilism in its most
loathsome form. It is high time that more
importance was attached to pI'l'/lCl]1lt.’.S‘, and
less to names, forms, and pretensions. High
sounding professions of rcpublicanism, are
sadly otit of place, when they are accompa-
nied by an ~ovct‘be.it'ing and dictatorial spir-
it, and should always pass for what they are
worth among intelligent frcerncn. VVherc
such unnatural combinations exist, it matters
but little with us, whether the possessor has
taken to himself the name of democrat or
federalist. It is enough to know that he is a
bise hypocrite, and tin worthy the confidence
and support of honest men. No candid
citizen will deny that this is a point which
has been quite too much neglected, and it
will be otir aim to press it constantly upon
the attention of our readers. \Vc shrill de-
mand of all candidates for oflicc, some fur-
ther cvidt-nce ofthc. orthodoxy of their polit-
ical principles, than a more party badgc.——-
We shall expect them to show their democ-
racy in their intcrcotirse with their fellow
men, as well as in their more pttblic relations.
lftbcy deny the justice of so reasonable a re-
quirement, they must look elsewhere for sup-
port.

From the Cumntcrcial Atlncrliscr.

The Game of B."ag—Fot' months past,
and until within the last four weeks, the ad-
ministration and its partizans, in and out of
Congress, have been quailing before the de-
monstrations ofthe masses moving under the
banner of Tippecanoe. For more than four
months, even their darling measure, tbeinl-.1-
mous sub-'l‘t'casu ry bill, was suffered to sleep
untouched, tipon the tables of the House, to
which it had been sent in such hot haste by
an irirpaticnt senate. The friends of the ad-
ministration know not what to do with or
without it. Perceiving, however, that Har-
risonism, like the Greek fire, was sweeping
through the length and breadth of the land,
and that it was impossible to extinguish it
before they were utterly consumed, they hit
upon one more out a final expedient. It
was to change their tactics, pass the sub-
'l‘reasury bill, and by a glvtxfl signal,‘ rnisea
$lllll)llltllt’0llS C7‘0‘lt7l7Lg all over the land.

By crowing oftheir prospects all over the
country at once, their broken and fainting
troops might perchnnco be raillied to the
breach once more, and possibly some unfor-
seen turn of luck might, after all, save the
jztniz.-try corps from total nnnihtlati0n.—-
Hence orders were sent front Dan to Beer-
shcbri to pluck tip at least rt show of courage
and bctake themselves to crozoinrr. The
following letter from one to another of the
faithful comes to us in t1 V\’estern paper, and
illustrates the truth of what we liavc written
above, not only in respect to the tcl’t'ot’ which
pervades the Atlministration raul.'_s, but as
to the crozoing policy that has been adopted.
It also reveals “the grand hailing sign of
distress.—‘.‘Tell film, /to «must crow 3”

But few men, among the leading support-
ers ofthe Administration, have been better
paid for their set'vices, than Mr. Amos Ken-
dall. If he has made sacrifices for his par-
ty, he has certainly received a liberal equiv-
alent, in the way of fat salaries, and the
praise and homage of his political associates.
If the party are still indebted to him, we
could furnish them with tiite a long list of
individuals to whom they are also as justly
indebted. If the rnidnigbt slumbcrs of iris
childre.n, have been disturbed by the “can-
non of federalism,” so has the family of many
a humble member of the same party, who
never thought of taxing his fellow citizens a
dollar a head for the damage sustained.—
Perhaps it will be said that these contribu-
tions were. not solicited by the editor of the
Extra Globe, on that account. Then his
allusion to midnight scenes within his own
domestic circle, was altogether out of place,
and wholly superfluous.--—State Eagle.

Thus it will be seen that the Government

susceptible of proof, when we. say that ma-
ny of Mr. Van Buren_’s recent appointments
—we refer to the most important of them—--
are exceedingly unpopular among his own

Fttfa-Z Ajfrrty at VVoorl1:.illc, Miss.——A
serious afiiay occured near Vlloodville, Miss.
on Sunday morning the 28th of June. As
we have learned the p:tr'tic'ulars, frotn a gen-
tleman \) ho, was at \Voodvillc at the time, it
seems that a Col. D. \Voodard, with his
brother and a man named Glass, waylaid a
carriage containing Col. \V’s wife, and two
other ladies, with a I\Ir. Frazier, a step son
of \V’s by his wife, and two or three small
children. The first named party ordered the
other to stop, and Col. IV immediately fired
a pistol dircctlyat the persons in the carriage,
wounding one of the ladies in the cheek.——
Young Fl‘-az_ier then jumped from the car-
riage and fired a pistol at Col. \_Voodard,
wounding him badly in the face ‘With an-
other pistol be lodged a ball in his body,
which killed him instantly. The brother

ofthc latter immediately shot Frazier in the

back as he was returning to the carriagc.——
Glass, in the meantime, had fled. A broth-
er of Fraizer, who was on horseback behind
the carriage, now come up, when VVoodard
fired a gun at him shattering his arm badly
with bucksbot. At the last accounts the
Frazier who was first wounded was expect-
ed to live. One of theladios in the carriage
showed great presence of mind, by ordering
her children to lie down. She then picked
up a pistol which had been dropped, and
threatening to shoot one of Col. \Voodard’s
negrocs, who had seized the horses, induced
him to let go, and then drove off. It seems
that there had been a difference of long stand-
ing between Col. Woodard and his wife, in
which her children by a former husband,
and the two Fraziers had taken part. A
reward of $1500 ltas been offered for the ap-
prehension of VVoodard’s brother, who is
now at large. Glass has been apprehended
and is in jail.—-N. O. Picag/zuzc.

The M-adisonian states that C. J. Ingersoll
of Philadelphia, received over one thousand
dollars in Gold from one of the Banks in
Vtlashington, on Monday last, for his at-
tendance -is a member of Congress, although
he did not come within 700 votes of a title
to a seat in the Ca pitol.' This is anew way
to clutch “ the spoils."

SuicirZo.—On Friday afternoon, a man
was found hanging to a tree, in the Cedar
Grove, a short distance from Peck Slip Fer-
ry, VVilliamsburgh, L. L. He was discov-
ered by a little boy, who treat to the woods
to cut a_ pole. Supposing the man to be
watching him, he hesitated to approach. and,
after calling to him, and obtaining no an-
swer, he ventured near, and found him quite
dead, with his hands tied behind him. He
had in front of him a plate, with McGowan
engraved on it, which indicated his profes-
sion to be that of a porter. A letter and
some bank bills were found in his pockets.‘
He is reported to be worth considerable
property, An inquest was held in the after-,
noon, but the verdict we have not ascer-
tained. ‘

FOREIGN NEWS-L

From the Lomlon Times.

Vile have received by extraordinary ex-
press, in anticipation of the mail. extracts
from the letters and papers of our correspon-
dents in Canton, Bombay. and Singapore.--—
The dates from Canton are the’ 27th March,
from Bombay the ‘._2_3.d of May, and from
Singapore the 15th of Apri.‘l._

The Chinese were btisy in preparing fire
rafts for the purpose of destroying Br-itish
shipping. The Druid, of 44 guns, had join-
ed the fleet. The American merchants at
Canton, apprehensive ofthc consequences of
the expedition, were upon the point of quit-

‘ting that city; they had declined ftirther con-

signments, thus putting a total stop to the
trade. -

Preparations for l'Va.-r.—Governor Lin
has enlisted about 3000 recruits, who are be-
ing drilled daily near Canton in the milita-
ry exercises of the how, the spear, and the
double sword. The latter is a weapon pe-
culiar, we believe, in China. Each soldier
is armed with two short and strait swords,
one in each hand, which by being knocked
against each other will produce it clangour
which it. is thought will intimitate the t.'p;*.
