been committed, consists of Messrs. Crittenden, Clayton, Walker, Hunting^ ton, Williams. Norvel, and Nicholas.? Each of these gentlemen is in favor of a bill of some sort, and a majority of them are in favor of the voluntary scheme.? But it is presumed that they will frame a bill embracing the compulsory system tta a modified form, and that their project will pass the Senate. Both the Carolina Senators are opposed to any bill. The Senate seems to have engaged lately, with much earnestness, in the President making business. Several of their recent debates on the relative mer its of Harrison and Van Buren have been very racy and piquant Yesterday, the discussion of the same engrossing topic was renewed, upon a motion to print twenty thousand copies of the reportof theCommittee on Military Affairs, Dn Mr. Poinsett's grand scheme for training, equipping, and arming the militia. This report is designed to counteract the Unfavorable political effect which Mr. Poinsett's project had in some parts of country, and especially in Virginia. It does not condemn nor. approve of the plan, but explains it, and offsets General Harrison's reports on the same subject against Mr. Poinsett's. The subject, according to the report, employed much of the attention of General Washington* and of his successors. General Knox made a report in favor of a national organization of the militia; and General Harrison, while in Congress, made three reports, strongly recommending a plan somewhat similar to Mr. Poinsett's. Mr. Roane, of Va., Complained much of the use made in his State, by the opposition, of Mr. Poinsett's plan. It was kept quiet from December till April, butwas then disseminated throughout-Virginia, on the eve of the election, and ^ held up to the people as a plan for a standing army. Mr. Webster said he would not object to print any number of this explanatory report, provided tne original report of Mr. Poinsett was appended to it. Mr. Preston condemned Mr. Poinsett's plan in most decided terms, but contended that there Was an essential difference between it and Gen. Harrison's. It was final I v agreed to print General Harrison's three reports, and Mr. Poinsett's, side by side, But the motion to print 20,000 extra copies of the white-washing report) as some call it, iies over. By the way, the friends bf Gen. Harrison have raked oirtdf the House, some old papers, which they intend to make great use of, in his favor, at the South. ifiUhe year 1803, General Harrison being the Goverhorof Indiana, a convention of the people of that Territory was held, at which it \va9 resolved to memorialize Congress in favor of a repeal of that part of the Ordinance of 1787, which forbids the introduction of .slavery into the States and Territories North west of the Ohio. The memorial is signed by Gen. Harrisoit, as President of<he Convention. POP. 5 ION. By the steamer Unicorn, arrived at Boston from Liverpool, via Halifax, iwiidon papers have been received to the evening of .May 15, and Liverpool to the 16th. During the week ending May 8th," the sales of cotton were large, with, an upward tendency; but during fhe ensuing week, ending 15th, there was a decline ofl-8d. Wheat and flour were also i IpnHina rlnwnwHrdc. ^ In the manufacturing districts, business was beginning to revive.. The accounts of the crops, both in England and France, are favorable.? Fresh corn riots had occurred in the latter country, and also many incendiary fires* The Boundary Question.?Lord John Russel, on the 7th of May, made a statement relative to the Boundary Question.

WM. POTTER. Cheiaw, June 17, 1840. THE GAZETTE. WEDNESDAY MORYHG, JOE 17. j ,. The letters of Col. Preston and Gen. : Thompson we insert, by request, as connected with the proceedings of a public meeting which formerly appeared in our columns* No contest for the Presidency ha9 been more animated than the present, per. haps none so much so, since the one in which the elder Adams and Thomas Jefferson were the candidates. The opposition party are stimulated to extraordinary exertions by confident hope of success, while the Administration party without despairing, are evidently alarm, ed. The. changes in favor of General Harrison, within a few months, have been numerous, and in instances not a few, by persons of high respectability and no small influence. Among the circumstances which indicate alarm the party in power, is the resignation by Mr. Kendall of his place in the President^ cabinet, to take charge of a temporary paper, published avowedly for the exclusive purpose of influencing the election. In accordance with the purpose of shewing our readers, as far as our space will enable us, the ground taken by the two parties, we this week copy Mr. Kendall's ^Address to the people of the United States," and shall follow it next week with Gen. Thompson's Circular to his constituents. The w^ek j after, we shall insert part of the address of the Baltimore Convention of the Ad ministration party. We copy Mr. Kendall's address only on account of his relation to his party* as a recent member of the cabinet, and as* ttow, about to become an editor of its leading organ; which circumstances seem .to give a kind of official sanction to his statements, and to his exhibition of the ground on which the party appeal to the Country for support. The .address does not contain a fair exposition* nor in fact any true exposition at alt, of the distinctive principles or policy -of the great pariies into which the country Is divided. It wants dignity for the production of an ex-itlembcr of the cabinet, and makes a false issue; - It labors chiefly to shew that the opponents of the present administration ?one half, perhaps the bigger half, of 'the people of this country?are influenced in their politics by a "contempt for the people," that is, for themselves; that thpv arp pnpmies to the frepdnm and fairness of elections, ready to usurp the rains of Government and maintain the usurpation by military despotism; No man of ordinary intelligence believes* or can believe this to be true of any great party in the county The facts to which Mr. Kendall refers, when fairly stated, lead to very different inferences from those drawn by him. But it is fiot our purpose to analyze or review the address. We point to the fact that* contrary to what was to be expected on such an occasion* it contains nothing even resembling an outline of the politics of the country. In regard to the general principles of Government and in devotion to our popular institutions, all par^ ties in this country agree, and, have ever agreed since the commencement of the revolution. He who says differently, s/anders the country, and manifests either a want of intelligence* or a disregard of truth. The currency and sub-lreasury are now the great subjects which divide the people into administration and antiadministration parties; but they are not even alluded to in Mr. Kendall's address. : Why* it is not our purpose now to in| quire. We do not espouse the cause of either party, but shall always aim to take care, that neither is misrepresented in any article which we copy; [communicated.) FOURTH OF JULY; At a meeting of the citizens of Che fa w and vicinity, held at the Town tiali Thursday evening,' 11th inst., L; B. Prince was unanimously elected first Orator, John A. Inglis second Orator, and Alexander Gregg Reader for the approaching Anniversary of American Independence/. The "Yorkville Pioneer" is the title of a new paper, published at Yorkville. S. C. The second No. we have received. It contains nothing from which the politics of the paper can be learned; Mr. Rayner and Dr. Montgomery* members of Congress from North Carolina, have had a JUlicuff rencountre near the door of the Representatives Hall, during a recess of the House. Whilst the Doctor was delivering^ .a" speech in the House, Mr. R. interrupted him a few times. In the speech, as afterwards published in the Globe, Mr. R. .was rei , dial union of the Democratic party, tha i it may be promptly withdrawn by m , friends from before the public." i The plain meaning of this is that h wishes still to be a candidate. presented as having cut rather a ridicu lous figure. He published a correctioi of what he considered a misrepresentation of what he had said. This caller forth a publication from theDoctor, whicl so enraged Mr. R. that when he methii opponent, he poiinced upon him* Aftei some breaking of canes, and scratching and hair pulling, they were separdtec Without any very serious bodily injury t< i either. The following sentences w< copy from the Doctor's account of th( battle, published in the Globc:?-"I had no sword cane, or arms of any kind, not supposing my colleague would be guilty of the cowardly attempt at assassination, in which, I fear, from his conduct, I was mistaken.-" "His conduct has been that of a mean, cowardly scoundrel." "From his cowardices or some other cause, he was unable to hurt me;" "He has acted the part of a base coward and unprincipled scoundrelMr. R. replies in the National Intelligencer, and says the Doctor's account of ^thr afTaif "is false in the main, both as to facts and insinuations. The expulsion of both the honorable gentlemen, would do the House of Representatives more honor than any -thing which it has done during either the present or last session. The Convention of the State Rights party of Georgia, held on the Uth inst., nominated a Harrison ticket for electors, with only one dissenting vote. Judge Berrien was President of the Convention, and was appointed to prepare an address to the people of the State on the subject. The Convention also nominated the following ticket for Congress: William C* Dawson, E. A. Nisbet, J. C. Alford, R* W. Habersham, T* B. King, Lott Warren, R. L. Gamble, T. F. Foster4, J. A. Meriwether. The si* first nre now members of Congress; the remaining three are substituted Messrs. Colquitt, ^ nnrtAH an uvujici auu iiiav.iv) ui uic picacui uc* legation* who adhere'to the Administration. Unpatriotic Recklessne6S of Party.?The following paragraph is taken from an electioneering address to the people of New York, by one of the political parties in the late Legislature of that State. No man of common sense, who kno\Vs an^ thing of the hisfbry of the Revolution, can doubt that the writer* and the most intelligent circulators of such a statement, know it to be false: "The early history of this Republic too abundantly proves that many of those who took part in the Revolution, fought for independence rather than liberty. They rebelled against a monarch abroad, for the purpose of setting up a monarch at home. Placed at a distance from the throne of Great Britain, they had liltlo chance to parti, cipate in it* honors, its titles, and its pensions; and they aimed to erect a throne in America, around which they might form a band of privileged nobles. No sooner was the object achieved and the States separated from ihoir parent land, than these subjects began to dcvclope thorn, selves in the writings and acts of some of the revolutionary leaders." Congress.?This body is still in ses sion, and no time fixed for adjournment. In the Senate the Bankrupt bill has not jet beett disposed of. Efforts were made by leading Administration members to include state banks in its provisions.-;This Was opposed on the ground that if Would be an usurpation of jurisdiction over state legislation, and it finally failed. The Senate refused to postpone the bill indefinitely, thereby indicating a disposition to pass it in some form; A bill to allow the heirs of Robert Fulton 8100,000 is before the Senate, but meets with opposition. The Presidential election, which occupied so much time in the House during the session, has been introduced in the Senate, on a motioti to print af pvtra nnmhpr nf the renort of the Com mitfcee on Military affairs on a project.o: Mr. Poinsett for arming and disciplining the militia. In the House the sub-treasury bill is still under discussion. A letter from Senator Talimadge o New York, has been published, in whicl he tery confidently claims for Genera Harrison 19 States and 248 rotes? al lowing only three States and 22 vote 1 Certain for Mr. Van Buren.
