'Oun'readers nnd concspondents mustexercise a moderate share of patience for

a sew wocks, until we can, by devoting afair portion of our paper, get through thepublication of the public acts of Con-

gress. Indeed we do not know that wecould sill that portion of our columns withany thing of deeper interest to the gene-

ral reader. The law, and the noticefrom the Department of War, which will

be sound in our paper ovto day, is, to thevwidowand the orphant.worlh a thcusand

squibs on the Piesidcntialelection.

The ObcetvcriSi Reporter of Satur- -

day, although it takes some notice of ourarticle of Thursday, relative to tho elec- -

tion, denies no part of our statement,consequently it is tacitly admitted, that

Henry Daniel did unnecessanly and--wantonly, whilst-n-fncmbc- r of the Legi-slature, assail tho citizens of Lexington.

That whilst in Congress he voted forthe Maysville road, but aster he obtainedthe opinion of Gen. Jackson, he "wheel-

ed about, and turned about." and, voted

against it.

That Robert Wickliffe, jr. did, at'thelast session of the Legislature, vote

against the Ch.uleston and Cincinnati

Rail Road bill.

Is the Editor of the"Oberver shall, by

holding up to ridicule one of the most

honest tend worthy citizens of "old Fayette," call the attention of hor votoisfrom their self-respe- and true interests,we shall be compelled to admit with-hlm- ,

that two or three individuals have for

many years controlled our elections, and

that it is "unnecessary longer to deny it.nWe can perceive nothing very strange

in the fact, is true, that Judge Turnershould have, been "once the most bitterfoe that the President ever had," and

that he should now be friendly to theelection of Mr. Van Buren, and our long

tried, faithful veteran, Col.Johnson.We know not that ho is so. But wo are'sure he is not so far under the influenceof the sew, who the Observer says, havefor years controlled our elections, as to

surrender his judgment, his interest or

friedbhip to thoir holy Keeping; and we

are strongly impressed with the belies,

that hundreds of others will bo sound

equally independent; the call of the Ob-

server to come to the polls and vote thewhf- - ticket, to the contrary notwithstafi-ding- .

We regret that our paragraph of our

Thursday's article was omitted by the

compositor. We 'intended to gfvt the

Observer full time for a reply . It was

however omitted; and although time is

not now allowed, as it was intended

when written, W fh'cf public e)e it is

now inserted." There is one subject1 which wc

deem of deep importance to the citizens

of Factte. We touch it with reluc-

tance, because, upon an assurance from

he opposite party, that all fair objec-

tions should be removed, by a call (by

themselves) of a town meeting, ltfvise

nnii?m.?nAtefii'XM?h?ALe-rV,fnK.0,n.- ei

pledges of the charter men, made when

public opinion-wa- doubtful on sustainingIhe charter, remain unredeemed; and,

Ve anticipate, will so remain. Then wo

'say to the voters, whether of city 01

"country, elect no man to tfitr Lcgislntuitwho will not listen to your grievances,nnd use his best endeavors to redress

them. vBut is the citizens of Lexington

are willing t lie-- govei trerl by a code of

laws not known to the State, highly op-

pressive in many cases is they are

willing to permit one ward to elect allthe city officers. And is our countrylirethVer are willing to permit their stock

whichvtnay possibly stray into the city,'to be taken up, sold, and the money paidinto the city ttcnsur If.they are wil-

ling to have the "mark of the beast" puton their wagon", and many other oppres-sions of which tit'ey havc complained

wejsay. be it so, but wc will give no

aidl't'- - .

We have never w lines srt! a more imposing sight

thin the procession of the City School pupils on

Saturday last. Tho examination commenced cm

Wednesday, and rnattnuiil the two following da)?.We were present a short time; lur nj thcexamma- -

lion, and have with many gentlemenwho attended. Our own observation and the

'opinion wf all coincided, that a better examina-

tion, or one which shewed more satisfactorily, thesolid information acquired bv the pupils, had nev-

er been witnessed.The interesting proresifjn, consisting ofjup-ward- s

of 300 little innccents of both sejte, waswell ralculateri to excite the finest feelings, and

:to cause the mind to look forward to the timewhen the shackles of ignorance will he entirelybins! usumier, ttrfl intelligence unit science per-

vade the human family.

At the Morrison College an address was deliv-

ered by Charlton Hunt, Esq. highly appropriateto tne occasion, to a numerons audience of parents and others who feeL a deep interest in thisvaluable institution

We have never tnlctiltonally done wrong toany. We hive conversed with Col. Rodes, whostates, that he was elecled in Scott county in theyear 1823, and has never been a candidate sinceuntil the present time jn Fayette, consequentlycould not have been elected as a Jackson man.He admits that he voted for Gen. Jackson againstJohn Q. Adams; but when the rontest'icauie on

between Gen. Jackson and Mr. Clay, he votedfor Mr. Clay.

Homicide Mr. Hugh Payne of this county,

was, on Friday last, killed by Jesse W. June, by

a thrust with a knife in his breast. Mr. Pa) no

survived but a sew minutes. The perpetrator sur-

rendered himself on Saturday morning the matter was examined bj two mBgistrale, at 12 o'clock, who considering the act justifiable, fromthe testimony, disrnaiged Jpues.

The printing materials of the St. Louis Obser-

ver were riestmyec'ny a mob on the night of 21st

July.The printing establishment of the American

Bible Society, in New York, was destroyed by

sire. Among theiroperty were 18 or IS power

presses, and a steam engine. .Loss estimated atfrom 15 in 520,000.

AH the crops were destroyer! in Jamaica,' on

the 8th June, by a hail storm. .The hail sell to

the depth of 8 inohes.

The St. Loui6 Bulletin state", that iho Indianshave committed depredations in Lafayette county,

and taken the lives of several whites.

-- KENTUCKY VOLUNTEERS. The tenth

company, which completed the number authoris-

ed to be received, was by the Governor

on Friday. Tjwo minutes later, and Lexington

nnd Faystte county would have been excluded,as were many of Kentucky's chivalrous sons.

We have been told rtat seven additional compa-

nies, from different parts of the stite, were tender-

ed on .the same day, but too late the number was

completed. A further evidence, that Kentucky

can overstock the maiketRiih nnj a'tirle.With great satisfaction e leirn, that ten or

twelve horse? have already been furnished by the

independenlrvifs of Tajette to poor young

men, who having vnlunteeied, were unable to

supply thnmselves with hore, but that about

twenty are gull wnjilmg for that rompaiiythichwe hnve no doubt will be promptly furnished.

U'e refer those having spare horses to the riotire

of Gen. Combs, in thin paper.

Companies in the City and County, are speciallycalled upon and charged xcilh the duty nl providing uy sunscripuon or oinetwise,i.ainpie means tosit out the members of their respective companies,who have volunteered.

Surely, is bold and hardy young men will risktheir lives in the cause of the country, the headsof families the rich farmers, merchants and man-
