In the report of Eje-President Adams's late speech to his constituents at Weymouth, he is re. presented to have referred, in the terms following, to the course of Mr. Webster in remaining in the Department of State after the resignation ol the other members of the Harrison Cabinet: " Nevertheless, at the breaking up of the Cabi. net upon the veto of the bank bill, (though I wai glad of that veto, not because of the grounds it was based upon, but because the assent of the States was required,) I was one of the Massachu setts delegation with whom Mr. Webster con. suited, and I strongly advised him to continue a! his pos_. I thought the danger of war with Greal Britain at that time to be imminent, and I hac confidence that if any man in the country coulc avert it the Secrctarv could?and I therefore ad vised him to continue at his post. That dange: has now happily passed away?and there is per haps no other citizen who could have brought the negotiation to a favorable termination, and savee us from being plunged into a war with Eng land.** debts now due or to become due by the United States, for any other purpose than a bona fide loan to the Government according to the original intention of that law, and that no certificate for amy loan shall be issued for a less sum than one hundred dollars.

Cherayv, Tuesday, October il, lb4J. iMMaMMHfWMnBaGMMIIWMKMaUBMBHHMinNni Candidates for the Presidency. Mr. Clay is the only person now named amanj the Whigs, and if one may judge from the tone o '? the Whig press in all parts of the country, fron ' 1 the speeches of Whig politicians, and from the ' numerous nominations, North, South, East ano '' West, he will certainly be the candidate of thai " party. But Gen. Scorr, as appears from his let. ter copied into our columns last week, is not withs out hope that a second Uarrisburg Convention ' may still be called, and that he may be the nonii? nee of that body. Whether he can succeed in i ! his scheme or not is uncertain at the present time, | Four years ago it seemed certain that Mr. Clay :! would be the Whig candidate at the succeeding '! election, but the result turned out otherwise. In the Democratic ranks, Messrs. Calhoun, Van Burek, Buchanan, Wright, Benton, Cas? ' and Commodore Stew art have all been named, ' and each has his friends. Such was the mutual , jealousy of these candidates and their respective 1 friends, that for a time it seemed doubtful whethei 1 any would readily yield to the claims of any other, I except to those of Mr. Van Buren, who, having | once been elected, was looked upon as differently situated from the others ; and, on this account, it was supposed by many well informed persons that ' he would finally be taken up Dy all tlie other canI didates and their friends. It was supposed also j that being better known to the great body of voters, he would on that account receive so many votes as to make it a ground of preferring him.? Such, however, are the transcendent talents of Mr. Calhoun, his long continued and valuable public services, and the spotless purity of his private character, that the developcmcnts of public opinion seem to be decidedly in his favor at the present time. He is nearly or quite as well known by character to almost every voter in the country as Mr. Van Burcn; and is a man of at least equal experience as well as of greatly superior talents.? Objections arc made to him, in some quarters, on the score of Nullification. But odious as Nullification was in most parts of the country ten years ago, the thing itself having gone to sleep, for the present at least, the strong feeling against it has subsided and can hardly be revived to any great extent for mere electioneering effect. It is con: iidcred an objection to Mr. Van Burcn that lie j was so badly beaten at the last election. Many j who took an active part against him then, would , be restrained by mere pride of character from supporting him now, who would still support Mr. ( Calhoun, or any other candidate adopted by the j Democratic party. The New York Evening Post, the Albany Argus, and the Richmond Enquirer, which are the leading Democratic papers of the country, all prefer Mr. Van Burcn, but the ! popular current seems to be turning in favor of j Mr. Calhoun ; and the present prospect seems to I be that he will most probably be the man. Yet changes may take place before 1844. Messrs. Calhoun and Van Burcn differ greatly from each other on some very .important political questions. Not to name Nullification, Mr. Calhoun is for col Iccting revenue for the support of the Federal Government by direct taxation, Mr. Van Buren by imposts. Mr. Culhoun also, in case duties arc I laid insists that it be done according to a " horizontal scale," or at an equal rate oii all articles.? Mr. Van Buren is in favor of discriminating duties, with a view both to favor domestic manufactures and countervail foreign legislation. But the par. ty will probably overlook these differences and adopt the most available candidate. For several weeks the Editor has been able to pay very little attention to either the paper or the , office. Among the omissions thereby caused was j a neglect of the periodicals received. Among j them and first, was the Farmers' Register, which | continues to appear with its usual punctuality, | and to be filled with the usual variety of most valuable matter in its department. The editor is now adding to the numerous obligations under which he lias laid his subscribers and the public, by pub. Wishing, as an appendix to the Rcgiitcrx a new edition of his able and most excellent Essay on Calcareous Manures. He announced some months : ago his intention of discontinuing the Register, at he end of the present year, for the want of a compel nt support. We did not notice this announcement at the time, hoping that before the close of the year, th? enterprising and patriotic proprietor would sec that lie could continue the work without loss. Temporary causes operated to the injury of the Register during a part of the present year, which will not be felt, at least to the same extent in future. There is rjo periodical of any character or class, the discontinuance of which would be so serious a loss to the Southern States. The Southern I'lantcr,Oi Richmond, continues its punctual visits. It is very neatly printed and is conducted with spirit and ability. But from its limits the articles must be Short and cannot embrace such extended and scientific discussions as arc often found in the columns of its neighbor the Register. Yet it is on that very account better suited to the taste of a large class of farmers. The Literary Messenger and th? Magnolia both continiie to be received at the commencement of each month, both maintaining their character, istic neatness of appearance, and filled with a mix. ture of instructive and amusing matter. Wc arc sorry to see by the Northern papers that Mr White, the editor and Publisher of the Messen. gcr, has recently had a paralytic-attacTc. The regular fall meeting of the Pec Dec Agrl. cultural Society will be held in this town on Fri day next. Mr. Webster's Speech. , Mr. Webster's 6pecch at Faneuil Hall, Boston i on Friday week was looked for witli extraordinary T interest in all parts of the country. It has beer published in all the daily papers of the cities, ant . read before this by all readers of newspapers ii 5 almost every town and village of the country. Ou t columns for this week were prc-occupied by othc . matter before we received it, but we shall inscr . it next week for the benefit of those readers win sec no other paper. Mr. Webster makes n< I pledges as to his future course, and enters into bu I little explanation of the motjves which inducet 1 him to remain in Mr. Tyler's Cabinet when hi [ associates left it. However much he has been re . j viled by both Whigs and Democrats, every ihtclli r | gent and candid citizen must now admit that hi . j served his country more efficiently as Secretary o ; State than he could have done in any other sta | tion, except the Presidency; and more uscfull; than perhaps any other man in the nation coul< have.done. In the present position of cu?forcigi relations, he occupies his appropriate position. n _ \\ hen the proper time shall arrive he will be able, v we doubt not, to explain and defend his course in ^ ? a way that will do him honor as a patriot states- ^ man. 1 He deprecates the denunciation of President si f Tyler's administration by the Whigs, and is of li 1 opinion that whilst they have a majority in both f( ' branches of Congress, they might still do some- tc I thing to relieve the coun'ry of its present distres- e; t ses, h . h Gen. James Hamilton, now in England, has ad- a i I dressed a letter to Mr. Calhoun, which has been published, on the disastrous state of American ^ i i credit in Europe. He ascribes the embarrassments of the country and the repudiation of debts grow' j ing out of it, to the destruction of the U. S. Bank ; ' by Gen. Jackson, and confesses that he has taken ! ^ ! his own seat on the stool of repentance for the part j ^ . which he took in promoting the General's election. ^ i , lie calculates that the victory of New Orleans n( r cost the country five hundred millions of dollars, besides entailing upon it 44 a set of drivellers ^ ! ! whose follv has taken away all dignity from ! distress, and made even calamity ridiculous." ^ Willingly, he says, would he expiate with his ^ blood his sin in the matter, if it could recall n< I the fatal past. He urges Mr. Calhoun to exert his ^ high talents and great influence in redeeming the ^ country from its present decadence, by some great measure of relief, whether it be a Bank of the at , U. States, or an Exchequer agent. So frank a con. ; fessioa of past error and folly is characteristic of : an honest, inanly mind. We shall copy the letter m I as soon as we can make room for it. A meeting has been appointed at Chesterfield ! ? C. H. on Tuesday evening of Court week, for the | ?jpurpose of forming a District Temperance Socio- | ?( ty. All persons friendly to the cause are invited i ?t 1 to attend. 4 v 4t On the oth and Gtli instant they had a severe gale at Charleston, which raised the tide so high ^ as to overflow the wharves and some of the lower ; streets, so deep as to render the use of boats neces- ' sary to remove the inhabitants from some of the ' co houses. A boat was upset while crossing the bar, ^ and five negroes who were in it were drowned. ^ se: ; A new Post Office has been established in Rich. 0i( mond county, N. C., called " WickliffeJames Williams, Esq., appointed Post Master. >vt A child four years old strayed into the woods a few weeks since, in Person county, N. C., and wj was not found till the fourth day, when a man j ... deer-hunting was directed to him by the growling 1 of a dog in a bunch of bushes. lie was 8 miles ' , i ! P'? from home, and had been supported by eating j chinquepcns and grapes. * ^ . . Pr Fatai. Quackf.ry.?The44 Wisconsin Gleaner," published at Sawville, (Wis.) states that a dentist in that village, having firmly fixed - his turnkey' u]>on the tooth of a young lady, and wishing to ^ display the dexterity and quickness of his profis- j mt sional operations, brought the instrument a sud. j re' den half circular jerk; but to his great consterna- j tion, instead of jerking the tooth out of its socket j he jerked the neck out of joint, and of course put an end to the sufferings of his patient. A more m speedy and palpable result this than always fol- t<J lows operations in quackery. If the true result were always as speedy and palpable, the nuisance would soon abate itself. _ R] John C. Colt, the murderer of Adams in the city of New York, has been sc tcnced to be hung in November, the Supreme Court of that State St having approved the finding of the jury. From a j ,ni remark of the prisoner at the bar, it seems that the j P0 case is still to come before the Court for the Cor. j Pu rcction of Errors, which is composed of the State ' Senate. The fellow's impudence held out to the 10 wiion if hp hail anv tliinpr tosavbe- I ?- ?^ fore sentence should be passed upon him, he hand. cd a paper to the Court to be read, in \vhich he Sir arraigned the fairness of the jury which convicted m him, and justified the brutal murder which he com. mi milted on the ground that it was done to resent 801 an insult. He asserted that in the same circumstances, he would do the same thing again. A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot and the Washington Globe state that Gen. Rodt. B. . mi Campbell, formerly of this State, now of Alabama, . I mi has been appointed by the President Consul at ! Havana, in place of John S. Calhoun, of Columbus, Ga., appointed last year, and now removed. # ar Lieutenant Wilkes, of the Exploring Expedi. sb tion, who gained so much credit by the efficient T and able discharge of the duties assigned him on he that expedition, has been tried under charger of ci illegally punishing some of the men under his E command, and found guilty. The sentence of the court was that he be reprimanded; which H has accordingly been done by the Secretary of fr the Navy, in a letter which has been published. m ci Judge Wells, U. S. circuit Judge for Missouri, bi has decided that the provision of the bankrupt tli act which empowers persons voluntarily to avail tc ' themselves of the provisions of that act isjjnconFlitutional. This decision will suspend all volun- aj tary bankruptcies in that State till the question tr can come before the Supreme Court. q The Collector of Warren county, Mississippi, reports 900 taxable persons in his county unable j to pay their taxes. These 900 persons, generally, j. ' we have no doubt, voted the repudiation ticket at the last election. 4t ~ ~ . . E In Missouri they raise large quantities of to ^ bacco. In 1841 the number of hogsheads re- , le ' ceivcd at St. Louis was estimated at 8,500. It is supposed that the number will be doubled the i di , present year. 1 J ol 1 They have had a great electioneering Whig c: r convention at Dayton, Ohio, which was attended n r and addressed by Messrs. Clay and Crittenden, ^ t - S 1 from Kentucky, besides a number of orators from ? 5 different parts of Ohio. As to the number present a 5 the Ohio State Journal makes the following state. 1 mcnt: " The most candid, moderate and compc- 8t ^ tent judges unite in placing it, incredible as it may ^ 3 appear, in the vicinity of one hundred thousand w - persons:' - Tl.r.

When, there- j u >re, a member of the profession gives countenance ) the gross and fraudulent humbuggcry, and most specially, when he becomes a prime mover in it, c e forfeits all claim to the professional courtesy of is brethren, and most justly subjects himself to antcmptuous expulsion from their society.

In my opinion Mr. Robinson has no chance b f disposing of any part of the loan, for all the ii ipitalists in Europe seem to unite in saying that t: o stocks of the States or Union shad! find favor q ere until some means are adopted in the United p tates to put a stop to the course of repudiation, ii nd again place, at least, the integrity of the coun- r y on its former footing. In proof of what I have o lid, an eminent capitalist told me a few days ago 1; lat no house in Europe would dare (in the pre. :nt state of public feeling) to take or encourage ic taking of the Government loan." n Such is one of the thousand results of the ex- ? criments of political quacks upon the currency I nd business operations of the country.

Miller, "rived at Boston yesterday morning at half past o'clock, having left Liverpool on the 20th of eptember, at 2 P. M., arrived at Halifax on the 1 inst. at 11 A. M., and left again at 2 P. M. r Bosten. We do not perceive that any thing of impornce had occurred. The Queen had returned am Scotland, very much delighted with her visit, id meditating, the journals say, a repetition of it 'cry year. The treaty of Washington had been rc-publishI in the London papers, but of course not the irrcspondence. The general opinion seems to beat the negotiators have effected a fair measure ' mutual concession, with which every body ight to be satisfied. A prominent exception to the general tone of the ess is afforded by the London Herald oi the 10th, hich vituperates the treaty in choicest style. The Herald docs not enlighten us, however, as i its particular grounds of objection?the princiII of which, as well as wc can gather, sacrns to ; the use of 44 Americanisms" and of 44 undiplo. latic termsbut what they are the Herald does at condescend to tell us. The accounts from Port Natal were contradic>ry. According to some the small detachment ndcr Captain Smith had been surrounded and apturcd; but tlie latest was that the relieving >rce had arrrived just in time. Port Natal had ccn taken by the latter, after a sharp resistance, 'he Caffres had commenced killing and plunderlg the boers, of which the latter complained bit;rly, charging it to the instigation of the English. 'hey had refused to make submission, asserted leir independence of Great Britain and avowed icir intention to call upon the King of Holland >r aid and protection, having formally ceded the ;rritory they occupied to the Dutch Crown. There had been no marked change in the disarbed districts. Most of the operatives still held loof from work, and there were occasionally scufcs between parties of them and small bodies of le police. There had been renewed alarms of inmiion to stop mills by force, and the military had ecu put on the alert, but no attempts at violence rcremadc. \ There appears, however, to have been one cXeption to this general statement. At Manchcs;r, the attempt to renew the riots was rather sc. ou8> Trade generally was thought to be improving. Liverpool Cotton Markets, to September 19. Sept. 1G.?The Cotton market has this week j gain been very dull and uninteresting, and a very mall amount of business has been done, the sales ot exceeding 12,410 bags. Speculators have een very lukewarm, their purchases only amountig to 500 American ; and exporters have not aken more than 300 American and 200 Surat. j The continued disputes between the maqunictucrs and operatives is the cause of the trade havng purchased 6o very sparingly. The Cotton narket has been abundantly supplied, but prices f all descriptions arc pretty much the same as ist Friday. From the European of Sept. 20. Summary".?The anticipations indulged in a nonth ago, that, with fine weather for a few reeks, nearly the whole of the Corn crops of the Jnifcd Kingdom would be -placed in a 6tatc of crfcct safety, have been realized ; 6incc, although nterruptions have from time to time taken place iy means of occasional rains, the delays to har. eating have been only temporary ,\and, except in xtrcmely late, and in cold, inounjaincus situa" * Sth ult. Ice in September has not been known lere before since 1624. I A case was decided lately in New York giving images to a passenger on board a steamboat I' jainst the captain for the loss of a trunk. The ifencc set up by the Captain was that he had a F itiec stuck up on the boat that all baggage was : the risk of the owners. The court decided that F tis notice did not alter the ca6C at all. A steam >at, for freight and passengers, is a common car- F er, and the owners canrot exempt themselves t their own act from the lability of common car- F ers. Several decisions of ti.e same kind have :en made. The passenger, however, must be F )le to prove the loss of the trunk. He must be >le to prove, also, the value for which he sues; F id bv some other testimony than his own. F The Madisonian justifies the removal of a Fostaster at Cleveland, Ohio, as follows: F 44 It may be necessary to inform the reader that Mr. Barker (the one removed) was a Democrat F intil after the election in 1840, but made his >eace with the Clay-Whigs during the reign of jrranger, and retained office. Mr. Andrews, A he new Postmaster, on the other hand, voted F vith the Whigs in 1840, but has since co-operacd heartily with the Democratic party." What an independent honest fellow an office inter must be. We learn from numerous accounts from the up untry that in the upper districts of this state and e upper counties of North Carolina, there has en more severe and fatal sickness the present L ison than ever before during the lifetime of the , lest inhabitants. U In the National Intelligencer of the 30th Sept.

General Steele wrote ck that he should have been glad to oblige the F"i esident, but that there was then no vacancy to i e. So far, it was very well.

The New York Commercial Advertiser, in its crcantilc article of Saturday, gives the following L'lancholy picture of the state of American cret abroad: - . u " The recent intelligence per the Great Western C; id Acadia is unfavorable with respect to the re- f( oration of American credit on the other side.? ^ he failure of Pennsylvania to pay her interest j q is called forth loud invectives and bitter denun- j -u atlons. It is said that, when announced on the t( xqhangc in Amsterdam, 6Q much feeling was 1 q rinccd that the senior partner of the House of j orz & Co. was with difficulty protected by his j (j iends from insult, in consequence of the instru- j icntality of that house in introducing those sc- j iritics. Both public prints and private letters eathc a similar spirit, and it appears evident that t| ic credit of the country was never less highly es- a cmed in Europe than at this moment." A The views here expressed by the Advertiser tl ipear to be fully sustained by the subjoined ex- ti act of a letter which we find in the Journal of 1> ommerce: w " London, September 3, 1842. 41 Mr. Robinson handed me your introductory c tter, which he said was the only one he had de- t< vercd, or should at present deliver, feeling as- ri ired, from the great aversion manifested towards f t ions, we believe we may report the bulk of the grain throughout the country to be effectually secured, and, with scarcely an exception, in the ! best condition, of the finest quality, and of a greater weight than has been known for a number of years past.
