This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 
to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 
publisher to a library and finally to you. 

Usage guidelines 

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the 
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to 
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying. 

We also ask that you: 

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for 
personal, non-commercial purposes. 

+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine 
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the 
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help. 

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find 
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it. 

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just 
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other 
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of 
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner 
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe. 

About Google Book Search 

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and to make it universally accessible and useful. Google Book Search helps readers 
discover the world's books while helping authors and publishers reach new audiences. You can search through the full text of this book on the web

This itN (fsl ifinovntion wa«, of cour«e, ret isttd, and its oppo- 
nents proved loo mnny fbr ihope who were af^ia to trust them 
to a bnlloting. So the election lies over. 

We shall publish the report on Mr, Pmntkxier^t e^acg 
at full length — tboie lately proclaimed, and such ai luive 
bt?en recently approved. It will be marked, (liat those 
of the "iMicked" committee of the senate, have been t*»m- 
nimoiuttf pronounced to he entirely correct! — that the 
whole senate unanimoiuh voit^d his acquittal l*^hat thoie 
vho nome againat /urn, knew not lohere lie Uvttl! 

It is said that Mr. Taney will receive his appointment 
AS one of the associate juaticei of the supreme court, in 
the eour*se of a few days. 

It is singular that the votes of the two houses eoncem- 
ing our relations with Fnnce, are unanittum*. It speaks 
to France — and lo ourselves. In the seiiaie and the house, 
no act is coniemplated against her. In the latter it is said 
— »*lhat the trealy of 4th July» 1831, should be muinlain- 
ed, and its execution insisted on,'' — as had been said in 
the former. Every American will accord it^ this. 

This, we hope, will be done. We *re willing to btmr 
and ffirbear — but the time must come when forbeai^nee 
may cease lo be a virtue, if our just claims are not re- 
spected; am! we sbsll, with the SAitic unanimity, appeal 
to force. May not the claim made by Rnttm^mx account 
of Poland, have a direct bearing on this matter^ be in- 
tendctl to tilun^e ui into a war with France' It looks _ 
very much like it^-^nd if so, should be guarded against. ■ 

A committee of the eorporation of Baltimore his re- 
ported that it is expedient to pui^chaie the water right* 
of the Baliimore water company, and with a prospect of 
profit. We shall insert the parti culmri hereafter. It ii 
as it should be. *

Tt it a lource of great sali&faction thntf in regard (o the 
only quesiiun couceiniug our foreign relationa, which 
waa pretented lo congitaa in the annual mesaag« of the 
pretidentof ihe Uniljed Slates at the commencemenl of 
tlic ieSBion ofcongresfl, which hat Juil cloiedf hoLb bousei 
of oougresa have been uJiAjri-iiotTfl. llotli have eaprest- 
ifed the opinion that the execution of the ti^eaiy of 1831 
ought to he insiiHtecl ii[>on, and t»otb came to the unani- 
tniiUB delermiiiiHiion that it waa not expedient to carrj" 
into cfteel the recommendation of the president'i message 
ill relAliuii to llittt lubject. Such watt the direct declura* 
tlon of the senate^ and such the cfTcct of the yuaiiimoui 
TOic of the hon*f of repreaentulives, after passing its de^ 
clttratorif renolution, to diwbarge the com mi It ee of fo- 
reign relations from the further consideration of that re- 
•ommendatioiu 

We hope, however, that the proeeeilingi of the two 
houaet will not be ioterjircted,, any where, into a cliBpO" 
sition to snbmil iwk'tly to a refusal , by Franee, to ejLccutc 
the treaty « Such a view of the refusal by congr'css now 
to act upon tliat bypolhesia, would be a great error. Con- 
have ex pre Sled a confidence in the good fuith of

they »ii7i legislate, neverlbeleBij should it hereafter ap-

if should !-^hat the efiect or consequence of that legisla- 
tion will be -war. We hope that evil is at least as far

Aceording lo Mr. Sonthard'i report^ made to the ie-

Washington, its present aclual debt is $I,{i06,i'J'2 51> H 
for the discharge of which, **it has nol, at this linic^ ■ 
means from which it crii apply a single dul.ar/* The

It will rejoice many of our readers to know, that a bill 
has pnssed the home of delegates of Virginia, gtiaranlj- 
ing ^ loati of half a rmUi<tift ojftloifatM for Iht- Cltetfifttake 
and Ohio canid cwnhany^ and ihat strong hopes are en- 
tertained Uial it will al»to pass ihe aensile of ihal stale* 

A bill has alto been repriftHed in the house of delegatea 
of Jltaitjfland, guarantying two millions for the same ob- 
ject, with v^r^ry reason to eicpect that it will become a 
law« 

With these prospecls, may we nol hope soon to b« 
able to lift our heads above the clouds which hate so 
long hung over ui, [Alat. Jnt, 



The nrftder will perceive by the proeeedings in the se- 
nate yesterday, that the long threatened and! far-famed 
proiect of **ejrptm^nff** from ihe journals of the senate 
of the last session the vote condemnatory of flie conduct 
of the president in reganl to llie removal of the depo- 
•itea, was itself expunged from tlie ])ropositinn on tliat 
aubject, and voted down almMtunamm^uvy-^ihe original 
mof«r himself being amongst ibofle who voted to aban- 
don the idea of **expnnging.** The remainder of the 
f proposition, after its ofTentive feutwre had been thus ob- 
iterated, was then nailed to the counter by a vote of ^ 
lo 30. The whole proceeding was curious, but highly 
honorable to the se]f-res|}eci and iTtdcpendenee of^the 
ttfuUe. It eannot, however, be properly understood ontil 
the debate appears, whieh will be given witliotat delay. 
lode#d, one ought to have l»een present to properly ai»-

It proposed lo eipuMfe cior Journal, li eailed on os lo viulaie,

Jit a peirticuilar,sii(|ma, a peculiar nnark of reproacli or di#|raca

iu and reprobate it, in soiue esjiecial manner. Now. Fir, all 
this, moAt happHly, is complnlely defeated by the ainio*! uiiani- 
moos vote uf the »enate which has Jiusi mow been taken. 1 Ims 
si'naie has declared, in the ino#t emphatic manner, that its 
Journal ahall not tie lamp^red wiUi. J rejoice ino^i heartily, 
•ir, in this decitivu result. It is now sciUtd, by auihoniy not 
likt-ly to bn shaken, thai our records are sacred. Men may 
cliauRc, opinion* may elian|e, power may chance, but, ihanka

ctiantr*'. No in«truc[ioni< fiom without, n" dicLMrs from prin-

duce the senate to EaUify its own recordif^ lo disgrace iU owa

By the 84ta article of the LoolRiana treaty, it wu atlpulatcd

ihi* nifcefniiy of legj illative co-gp#raiioii proves, in re fr re nee lo 
the iretily of July 4, li&IJi, that the king conid not dt Uniiively 
conclude ihni treaty, it proves the lanie thing, hir the a.in»e

ler bttd iiiter%iewi from Lawrence, but a few dHVS buforc 
the Httemjit on the |>re*ident'i life. Thi* infonnHtion 
prodtio<fd coniiderHble soiiiSAtion. A eapUii^ of hJgli 
•tending; in the: navy had pirvionsly slated in thii city 
|^|| Poiiidckter, on his voyage from Nr^w Oiletini, had 
l^plstrneil lo demand uitisfaciioii Inr thi^ reniurk made 
Si9Vt Htru by the prcsidetit, as revolted in an nnoity mous 
tett*>r to the Ralii more Pair i»t, *uying If the president 
refused, th:ii he would %hool him wherever tic tAW him. 

Thii thrcMlof l^tiudexttx, was vouched upon such au- 
lliOritv a« to i^ive eonsidemhie yntntsideii lo several of 
iHe |]'r€»idcnt*4 friends, and amonj^ others to tl»e rev. 
Mr. Katch, ehnplain lo the aenate, who called u[mn the 

Keftidcnt to put dim on hia gmird againtt Pottidexten 
r. Wan), amnUer gentleman of the navy, who had pi*o> 
IwUly licurd of these thr«ati, wai at Mr. Stewart*!, (a 
reapcetable uicoiiMntc of thiicttj, whote buiioest brought 
liim intn M.n acquaintance with Lnwrentpe), and Mr. Stew* 
wart meitiioned lo him the circumitanee of »eejiig Law-i- 
rencc in conversation w ilh Poiodcxter, on the l*ye*day 
iireeeding the event which bapncned on Friday- Mr. 
Ward mentinned U to the lion. Joe] K. M:mn, and from 
tlie intcfftr tukeii in it by w^veral to whom he mentiovieil 
il, Mr. Wftn! was induced 10 call on Mr. Stewart to be 
sure that he had not miiundcrstood him. Mr. Stewart 
ik loured h'liD that whslt he had tnid him wai (me, and al- 
though he expressed «ome apprehension that the publi- 
city of his having made the stattiriieiit might efTcct his 
buiirirss tnjuriouftiy, yet declared hb willingness to make 
cialK to it. Ho was ad viu.nl to do so by sevenil of his 
rnendft. We have been informed that Duff CJreen aiitl 
senator Ewing, both r;alted upon him^ and ciidt'nvored to 
ifiduee him not to promulgRte the fact. He, howeTt-r, 
Icit il due to those who had repeated tbe circumstances, 
on hit autltority, to give the iiutement a definite and au- 
thentic shape, and he voluntarity made and sent the affi- 
davit given below to the president. 

Mr. Foy had, also, immediately after the CTcnt at the 
jtapitol, mentioneit to some of hi a ac(|riaintances, that he 
tuul aecn Lawrence go repeatedly to Poiiidexter's reai- 
<«enee; and» we understand, unfler the advice of Mr. 
Coltman, (a member of the cily council), ea'c the fact 
the form of an affidavit^ and ^iad it delivered to die pre- 
sident as the person raoit Interested in the evidence. 

Thc^ circumrtanccs, which were known to many per- 
sona in ihid city, (for many called on the president lo see 
the de|i»osiiions, and they were shown to all who desireil 
lo aee them), foynd their way into the news gf%en by the 
letter- writers in this city to the journals in the neighbor- 
ing eiiies. Mr. South worth, a corrvspondcnl for a New 
York print, had heard the rumors repeated by Mr. 
Pe^rce, of Rhode Island, and he communicated them in 
m letter* This led to the correspondeTice which is given 
below, and explains itself- — »nd ypon whic'h Mr. Poiit* 
<deiter has founded his application for a committee to 
gnskc a report upon the snbjeat. 

With refpird lo thii procedure, we hare only lo my 
thst it is certainly unusual, if not ahsoliitelv without pre- 
c^ent. The implicaiif>n, which it seems Mr. Poindei- 
ttcr feara may alTi-'Ct him personally, has not the ilightetil 
rrferenec to him offieinily. If ttie facts given, letid in 
the slighleft degrt'e to bring sMspiciou upon him, as hav- 
ing iti mutated the assault on the president, as Mr. Clxy 
jAipposicfl, it is ft matter touching Mr. Poinds uteres indi- 
'vidfiat conduct, for which he is answerable before the j»i- 
itlicial tributials, and not his official cniKhirt, for which lie 
if respoiiAihU' lo the aenate. Mr. Poiii dexter must have 
known ihat it would necessarily he fully lit vest! spited be- 
fore the com t which MtM in (hia city next month, when 
«rt;ry fiiat thai cJin shed light n[K!ni the act of l^wrcnce 
Vol. XLVm—SiG. 3. 



vill, of course, be adduced. It is evident, (Ken, that 
Mr. Poindexlcr was resolved to bring lUeeMpfit dec«rp§ 
of the majority, with wbiuh he lias co-operated ju the se- 
nate, to bear ujion his case, and by getting, jf possible, a 
favorable report from that hi^di oouri^ in forestall and 
frown duwn the aelion of anolher and a tesa imposing 
tribunal. 

\^'hut lends countenance lo this supposition is, that 
some lioiH't before the mniion for a committee was made, 
ballots for the members to compose it, were distributed 
among that iioriion of the senate widi whom Mr Poin- 
dcxtt-r has Keen ]iolttieally associated ^ (hat he himself 
went from Seal to st-nt, andlieltl eonversationa, /^^e a teie, 
with them; and that the first ballot resulted in a commtl- 
tee, A majority of whkdi are the personal and political 
friends of Mr. Poiiidexter» This result, which at first 
btufthi looks so decidedty favorable lo the production of 
a reiioil conformiitg to Mr. Poindexler's wishes certain- 
ly does nul harmonise well with Uint role of parliamen- 
tary proceeding which reijnii^-s a mhjority of a commit- 
tee of inTestig>iiion, to be composed of persons predis- 
posed to press the inf|uiry with the utmost scrutiny. We 
are bound to btlieve, however, that the committee raised 
on this Hnom»lous arfair, will probe the subject to the 
bottom, if they shall tcf] it their dMty to enter on tlie in- 
quiry^ atid that, althomgh selected agninfil rule, they will 
show themselves superior (0 the inDuetjcc which, il wat 
supposed, would govern theJr conduct.

Sin: Your note of to-day has been put into my hand 
by judge Bbck, who bus given me titc name of the gen- 
tleman who wrote the letter published in one of the New 
York newspapers, lo which you have called my attention. 
The writer of tliat letter has taken the usmd humor of 
the Washington letter writers, and has published more 
than he was authorised to publitih by me. Some few 
days ago, he was in my room, and 1 slTtted to him what 
was, as I then thought, very generally known, that afl?- 
davttH had been taken, which, in the opinion of many, 
would implicate you in the lateaisanll of Lawrence upon 
the president of the United Stalt-^, lo wit: That but 9 
fi>w days preceding that a<»ault, it would be shown by 
the Ifcslimony of rtupectable wilnessea, diot Lawrence 
was M?en going Into and coming oul of your house seve- 
ral timoa; that you were also seen walking with him (n 
the ttreet 

I was authorised to make this slHtrment by two gcollc- 
roen who were fellow boarders; the hon. Joel K Maim, 
and passed nrid&hipman Ward,, the first named gentle* 
man had Men the afTidatils of the two wimesaes, provini; 
in substance whui 1 have statt-d. 1 had not then aecn tlis 
affidavits, but have since read them, and fonnd that whst 
I have noted, as nearly as 1 tun now recollect their con- 
tents, were proved by them. The ajiiants arc aaid (o be 
highly i-espectablr nion— I am not acquainterl with them 
— the arfldaviis were taken before one Coltman, a mem- 
ber of the city council. The name of one of the gentlr- 
men is Stewart, and the other Fov. I am vourveiT oht.

I he cjommirtee j»re fully satisfied that the design and 
linden^y of ihv phtduntion of die ji»itl aflldavits, was to 
fix upar^ the hon. George Poindexter "'th* most infa- 
mous of ati crimes, that of having l>een accessary before 
the f»ct, to un nttcinpt to lake die life of the chief ma- 
giitrale by I he h«fKl of an assassin." After a thorough 
luvetiligauon of the whcde case, the committee find that 
the chai'ge rests iolciv upon the evidence of uid Mor- 
dee-Hii f*oy and Uavid ^lewarL 

Foy, in his Affidavit^ slates that lie hat seen RicliArd 
IjawixMice go into gov. FoindexlcrS dwelling houiie and 
return at different times; |iKrticulaily on the Tue84jay 
previous to his attempt to asaaatinale the prenidenL 

Stewart states m his nflidavit, that about ihe last of 
I)ee4^mber, 1834, or the lal of Janunry, 1835, he aaw 
Hicliard Ljiwrencc go into the dwelling house of senator 
Poindetter, oo Four and a half street; and that oti Tweft- 
day. l>efore the attempt to assassinate the president of 
the United Sutes, he aaw the wiid Poindtxier and said 
I^wrcnce in ihe pasfiagc: of said house in conversation. 

The committee are of opinion ibat the stmcments con- 
tained in the aforegoing amdavilii are the only mtilerial 
ottesgoiitg^ in any respect, to implicate gov. Poindexter 
in Uie crimmal conduct of said Lawreitce, 

II is a principle of luw commending itself to the mind 
nf every ouq^ that a fuct from vthich an iiif^rciiceof gidlt 
is to be made must first be estaidiKficd hy eom|HleHl tes- 
timony; and that the fact, when thus eslabli&hed, must 
he irreconcilahle with the innocence of the accused. 

The committee prfwceeded to examine s»id Foy, wlio 
testified that the dwelling hnuhe of luiid Poindexter ad* 
joined the dwelling house of .Mr. Froit» He furlber 
MtAled tfinit he liad never seen Mr. Poindexter in com* 
puny with Ijflwreiiee in his life; that he had teen Law- 
rence go into the house of said Fro%t thit'c or four tiroc^j 
th;it tliv only time bfl ever saw said Lrfiwrence enter lltC' 
hnuEe of govei'iior Poindexter was on the Ttiesilwy pre- 
vious to Ins afltenipl to assatsmtae the pi-eihidr:^nl, between 
8 and 9 of ibe clock A. M^ that he did not Keel^u* 
rcnce in conierwilioii with any one; that be was not in 
the liousc »t that lime more than two or three miiHdct 
before became nu(; ihnl he did not see gmenvor Poin- 
dexter tliat morning; thwt, at the time he gave bisafTidH- 
val, he did not know in whiih of (he tun hnnteni gor. 
Poindexter lived, and said sothetd juntiee'a, imrifoes liQ 
now know that he barl seen gov* Foituk-xler go into both 
of tftid bouaes. 

It will be seen from the trstimouy of Foy, (No. 1), 
taken hcfuie ihc cominiiiee, iU»i he swore be never saw 
Ij^wi^nce go into gov, Puiudexter's bouM* but once, and 
that was on the l*ueMlav previous to the nssanll; and in 
this he directly coutii^d lets bit fust af1>dnvit, in which he 
swears that he aaw him go in seveiiil times. 

From Ihe testimony of Beiynmin P. Smith, (No. 3>, it 
appears that on the lilh day of the present month be 
met *iitb said Foy, and, after some conversntion,, Sitiith 
tnr|uired what be' knew about this matter, Foy mid b« 
at t\rsl refused to givebi^i aflidj^vit, but had written to the 
piiesfdent and stuted what he knew. l*be qtieation was 
dien asked of him, what he did know; to which be ftn- 
i,wered, that he had seen I^wretice * 'painting the door 
of governor Poindexler's house." Smith replied that 
he was mistaken; for that door had not hem painted. 
Foy still insisted on his stalenient. Whertiipon Smith 
and Foy went to the dooi s of the hou«e4 net upied by 
governor Poindexter and Mr. John E. Fit)at, tuid uriiving 
ibcre, Foy pointed out Mr. Frost's house as the one in 
which governor Poindexter lived. Smilh iiifornu d Fny 
lh:il he wa« mi»tak«Mi, for the other was the house occu- 
]iied by gov. Poindexter; to which Foy replied, "Is it' 
I hen I urn mistaken." 

It is hen: worthy of notice, that all the information 
Fov pretended to have relative to the mauler in cjue&tion, 
when in convei^sulion with Siuitb, wan thai lie hud Been 
Ijiwrence piintiiig the door of governor l^tiodexlcr** 
bouse; yet even in this he evidently wft*, and then OOIT^ 
fcssed himself to he, inislaken. 

The committee would fiirlhcr advert to the disci-e* 
liancj between the testimony of Foy and that of Mr.

NILES* REGISTER— MARCH 14, 1855— THE NAVT-PAT BILL 



$? 



tmlli and Tcnwitjylie had a nQmber more of the retpeet 
able iahabhauu of Waihingtoo readv to tettifjr ou that 
point. 

The eommittce, having thus presented the testimony 
■oiuewhat ia detail, Utke leave to |»refteot the following 
ijoopMa; 

Ttae charge rests, as has already been stated, on the af- 
fidartts of Stewart and Foy. 

The first of these men gare it its earliest impetus; he 
doablless was ready and willing enough to sei^e on the 
first plausible pretext for uniting in any 'plan for the in- 
jofy of goveniur Poiitdexter. He had been charged by 
governor Poindexter with Itaving been instniniental, a 
year or two ago, in foiling or furnishing free papers for 
goveriMir Poin<lexter's servant, who tlicn absconded, and 
he held, or pretended to hold, a small unsatisfied bill for 
repairs done to governor Poindexter^s carriage, by direc- 
tioo% as he alleges, of that same servant, who was tlie 
go v et u or*s ooaeliraao. 

or his agency in the above transaction, or governor 
Poindexter^s iodebteduesss, the committee will sav no- 
thing, lliey deduce from those circumstances, how- 
ever, the tanel of Stewart's unfounded allegations touch- 
lag this matter. He sought, as was natund, sonie ally 
ia this work of detraction, and he found him readily in 
Foy; who, although esteemed to be a correct man wlien 
aober, was rendered but too fit an instrument, from his 
habits of inebriation, in the hands of tlie designing. 

The lawu above stated would be enooeh to cender 
Stewart a suspicious witness; but when to them is added 
the fiMt, that he is confronted by eleven of the most i*e- 
neetable men of the community in which he lives, who 
declare, under oath, that because of his general charac- 
ter they would not believe him on oath — when, too, 
many others of his fellow citizens stood readv to testify 
IB the same manner, as the committee had full reason to 
believe— when he is flatly contradicted by the fact, es- 
tablished by two witnesses acting under instructions from 
the committee to make the examination, tliat from the 
■ituatioo in which Stewart represented himself to be 
aaroas the street from governor Poindexter*s house, and 
the eireumstances described by him as existing at the 
time, it was impossible for him to have distinguished 
one man from another in tlie passage of governor Poin- 
dexter** house — when aiibit are proved by unquestioned 
testimony, both as to Lawrence and governor Poindex- 
ter, at the time stated by Stewart; the one living a mile 
smd a half distant, and the other most probably at the 
moosent engaged in the discharge of public duties, at his 
eoainiuee mom in tlie capital---and when, too, if Stew*. 
art it to be credited, his statement to colonel Brent and 
otiiert would go to fix upon the president of the United 
States an attempt to induce him, Stewart, to swear to 
things of which he was ignorant, or thai his statement, 
if given as the president desired it, would have fillc^d a 
newspaper; thus implicating tliat high officer in a charge 
of subornation of perjury, which the committee, as 
AoMricans, repel with disdain— >no two minds can differ 
in the conclusion, that this unfoiluiiate man is guilty of 
an offence of the deepest dye against the public morals. 

Am to Fw^ he has obviously been made an instrument 
to gratifj the malignity of others. Stewart first ap- 

8 roaches him, and gets from him some vague declaration. 
fr. Frost's house ba|ijpeued to join that in which gov. 
Poindexter lived. Mr. Frost had had some painting 
done in his house during the fall, and a small portion of 
the work remained to be finislied in the winter. Law- 
rence was a painter. These were the facts which were 
to be worked up into a char^ of conspiracy. Foy, at 
the moment that he is declaring tliat he has seen Law- 
rence go in into gov. Poindexter' house, and has sworn 
to it, too, does not know the house in which gov. Poin- 
dexter lives. He points to Mr. Frost's house as the one 
in which the governor lived. Unfortunate witness! he 
has no chance of escaping from this sad dilemma but by 
eoncorring with Stewart in stating, that, although mis- 
taken in the house, he has seen Lawrence ybr tw9 ar 
three minutet on one occasion in gov. Poiudexter's house; 
reokembers the very day; the very hour; every minute 
eirenmstanee connected with it. 

Let justice be done to this roisgaided man. Even in 
the presence of the justice he declared he did not know 
in whieh house gov. PoindeaOer lived, and averred he 



knew nothing calculated to implicate gov. Poiadetter. 
AJi these disclaimers would not do. Coltman, a amn* 
ber 9/ the city council^ a government contractor, and a 
jobber about the public gi*ounds and streets, urges him 
Jeur tmeral timet before he would consent to swear, 
■lid finally had to intimate that he, Foy, would stand a 
chatiee to get ihe blacksmith work about the treasury 
building, then soon to be erected, as was expected, before 
he voudies his statement on hiscorpond oath. 

The committee cannot too strongly express tlieir aver> 
fioii to, and abhorrence of, thew: proceedings. They 
are happy to believe that this vile attempt to implicate 
lit the most atrocious act a member of the senate, has 
i'lcited on the part of the other inhabitants of this city 
the stron^st feeliitgs of indignation; and the committee 
feel that it is due to everv public conuderation that the 
plotters and contrivers of this nefarious cliarge against 
ail innocent man should be held up to public odium and 
seom. 

!n conclusion, the committee ofi^r to the senate the 
ibUowiiig resolution: 

Retolvedt That not a shade of suspicion rests apon 
liH- cliaractcr of the hon. Gtwge Poindexter in reffer> 
encbi to the subject matter of inquiiy submitted to the 
select committee.

Our manufactures, gentiratly, are proceeding onward. 
In many, and important branches, with but small pixifils 
to the proprietors of lhei!]n--Hinless they are filled with 
the beil and most mmlern tnaehinery, or have reduced 
the wages of their working people; but, in othci-s, the 
progi'eii of improvement has plrtved iheni out of the 
re^ieii of competition. Ihe quaiiliiy sold ii of an aiton- 
ishin^ amount — far beyontl that of the imporled artiUei. 

li IS computed that M/r/^ niiHIoMsare annually dis* 
posed of in the ciiy of New York^ and large quanUtiet 
m Boston, Philadt Iphia and llahimoi-e, and many other 
eiticaand tuwni located in their rieighborhood; and be-

treasury called them, are flnurish ing— such a« of lea- 
iher, hats and carriages, ko. See. and the time will toon 
have arrived when, (as wc oftentimes said), they would 
not need other than a fair revenue duty, if lailhftilly and 
ho«e<illy collecled, for ilieir support — one of tweuty-five

Wa mdersUnd that Mr. Geisenheimer, of New York, is 
about to erect iron works on the valley. furnace tract in this

The «»New York American" says— 

"This city, by the unanimous voice of its common conneif, 
ihrough the public Journals, and in various other modes of ma- 
iiifetfimg interest in such an enterprise, has exprt>^sed its hope 
and ezp«-ctation that the state would lend its aid thereto; and 
liurely this voice was entitled to great weight; tor if— which 
•teems mont improbable to ua — any loss had renulted fVom such 
aid, ours would be, by far, the largest proportion of it. 

''The whole taxable propt^rty of the state of New York, was 
estimated, in 1833, at 430 millions of dollam, uf which that of 
the city of New York constituted 180 millions, or more than 
three eif>hlk§ of the whole. When, then, this city is unanimous 
in asking the co operation of the state in a costly enterprise, of 
which, in the event of a failure, it will have u> pay more than 
Ihree-eigliths or the lo^s — it seemei to us a mo!«t unjiivtifluble 
disregard ofpublic sentiment, as wlII as of public iulcrckt, tliat 
their voice should not prevail.

M. II. Sibleyj it was made manifftft tliAt the company incor-

nor a gifli; simply a loan ofHtock, to be secured by a mortgage

W9 hail this andertaking as one which, if successful, will 
prove of vast imporunce to our region, as well as of all othen« 
where iron ore can conveniently be obtained. We have rea

The new uses to which anthracite are applied have 
emiaed an astonishing rise in the value of coal lands^ 
and Sehaylkill, Lehigh and Hudson canal stocks. As to 
the lands— persons do not know what to ask for ihem — 
tliey supnose that the whole tinion will become tributar\ 
to them! But the Susquehnnnah region is probabl'v 
quite as valuable as that on the Schuylkill and Lehigh, 
ice. and, on its west branch, there are also vast mines ol 
bituminous eoal. TIicm: must have their out-let by the 
tide. 

Maryland, too, will soon contribute her stipply of bitu- 
minoQs eoal of a very superior cpiality, by the Chcsa^ 
pc«ke and Ohio canal — and at the very lowest rate 

e works of internal improvemoi 
made, the duty on foreign coal may be taken off- __ , 
until then, must be kept on. It will, indeed, be a queer 
tiling, if we eannot mine as cheap as the Briiish— seeing,' 
that our eoal lies on the surface, and that many of theiir 
piU are from 600 to t,()00 feet deep. With cheap coal, 
we shall have cheap iron, &cc.

i*lenre lo the work nf their hnKd*, and, white cherlthing iho 
corijilitulion, I cherinh atill moie the libertiei of the conniry. 

Ill our cudeAVorf lo mljimi itie delicate apring* by which iha

whieJi ue do^'ian lo reitiefty. 

Ont if wnrni-d, by iFiijteei«liont UXf th«i«, from unnecensarf 
Jiioovniioo*, or precipitate anieiidmetiiM, It i« irurely not th«

con<ii^|iition, by loo clo*ely adbrrinf to ill original langaage,

Among lb* pmctienl lea»on# which have been taught oa by 
th« lllualriouii uten who frntnrd the «nn»iTiiJtion, lliere in nojia 
more im portent than that which dieclnimi ail prctenee In in-

i^pens It lo fniirri? arnendmetil,. and conrtdet It* pfe««rvaiioii 
iiiid iuipmfenieiu to the wUdnm and virtue of ittcceedf ng gene- 
faiiotin. 

Sir^ they knew full well that the work which fhey had form- 
ed wa« hm a grr-at nperimeni; ihey knew li 4>uii1id endure only 
white eherji<hed by the prinri^ileii from wlitch it «prfinf. How- 
ever adintrjihle in it4 eotiffirMriir>n, ^ymitiritir'Bl in it« pnrta» 
they were far from jodulgitij; in the preatiinprnoti" thotighl ihal

would not revfiil »ome laient deteei; and whilst interpnuiog n6- 
HtAclea lo tl) judf ed iiinovationii, they left lo po4ibrity thai 
power to add new «ti>irdji In the coiioiitution, and to aecom- 
niodal« iU provlniontf to luiure etliencie* a* Ihey iihnuld arive. 

With the»e viewi^ Mr. Preitidertt, in propo#mf The amend- 
ment which I Imd Ihe honor to submit, I conceived t only art- 
ed in the spirit of the con>itiiuiion, ioip#llKd by no other con- 
«iderntion« thon ihove which I |ru<.t will forever influence tha 
friend* of American freedrtm. I looked far beyond and Bbov# 
the ephemeral party division* of the day, and wa* willing, i.f 
rnofe acceptahle lo Ihe »erinle^ to five lo the re»n I m ion Ai proa- 
pective oper^iinOt and thereby avoid all olTenfive appliraiion 
of it. J considered only the pferogatlv^a claimed, and lh« 
dangera with which we were beael, and rincerely believed thai 
tiie pr<ifi'>*iiion on the table wi« the very one whrch the fr«mer» 
of the con<tiliillon wmild have adopted in the place of the ct- 
iaiing pfovifinn, eould Ihey have foreseen Ihe more than roy»i 
prelen^iooii recently aei up, or anticipated the eiecuiive ae- 
lion for the la«t five or til yean. 

Permit me now, Mr. PreAident, to »dvefl to tome of lhoa« 
€otitiderjilion« which, in my J udam en t, recommend the adop- 
tion of ihe amendmenl, which an imperioua tcme of duty atone 
hat prompted mc lo tubmlt. 

The veto piiwer^ an eterclned At pretent, tendv to nnile th4 
legiplaiive and executive powernt than which nnlhins could b« 
more dangerou* to the liheriie* of ihe conniry. f preaamt ll

The majority /or the bill, you will now observe, ia quite lnf|f * 
What a woild ila* i«! 

This bill Will now become » law of the land. From and nftef 
ibe Afft ot June nrit, no banking corpomtiofi ■ball l*«He any 
l>ill« of Uie *«luo o( one dollar; after tbc Ar«t of Jannnry, mv 
hilljn of iiiG value of two dollttrti after IIm- l«i ui Jun* , It^as, no

dfiutile tttm VHtne ol the bill* to be forfcitad and recoveicd in an 
of debt. 



In reply to the objeetiona made we liwfv to tvmark— 
lliat PeHH*yh*aniik, Atarylaud and Vtrt^tuu are all with* 
out a ciretihition of bank notct of a Usa denominatifm 
than ^x*e dollnit — and »o, we believe, aitr M^'verNl other 
tlates; and Ihnt llit:ir prohibition took plate long bcforu 
the gttld €wnuge was. drrMinifd of, and was braiight about 
witliout much, tf uny, incun^ergitnce, in l!»e two firtt 
itamed ttatea — the bfrt ncvt-r hnd need of snch a law. It 
will, however, operate wrverely in New York, New Jcl^ 
sey and Maine, wherein the currency of atich hill* U of 
» very large amount, and reaitrain the hank« from dia- 
counting, lor a coniiderable lime— especially certnin of 
them in the interior of New York. But in these stateay 
and all otlicri that border on the aea-board, at leatt, 
there ought to be tuch a prohibition, we think, cannot 
be doubted, Thoie in the interior, pcrhana, might have 
a currency of 3*i — and, potaibly, of 3't, lor aoine time 
to come. We have alwayt aaid (hit, and tee no reason 
to alter our opifiion. \Ve have not been, and &re not, 
entbarniMed for the want of change* Every bodv pro- 
vides hiioaetf with it, and all men have enough or it — ^if 
enough of notes of five dollars and upwards. 

It if singular how the ciixuliition of specie is kept tm. 
\Te have before u« an account of the loit and gain, for 
two days in the week — Saturday and J^fondatf, for the 
whole year of 1 835, being the aeasoa of preaaure on Ihc 
money market, kindly furrtished by an officer of a hank, 
which, perluipH, givi 1 out more ehanpi^ than any oilier tn 
this eilY, to which we shall jirohably revert hereafter. 
Satnnfai/t every one knows, 11 the great day of paying 
small sums, in wages. The account coraroencei on S»- 
tunlay, the 5th Jan, and ends on Monday, the SOih Dee. 
Ih53. In the whole there it only one Saturday in which 
there it a gain, and of 25 dotlari only— and /f/ly*one io 
which there was a lost: and there are feri Mondays tti 
which there it a /o#«, and fttrtf/-ttfo m which there it « 
ffdifi — i|,e balanre of the losses being nearlr 10,000 dol- 
lars for the whole year, #0 far m it re^artk tkote doyt* 
Now here is the answer, where the specie la to eom« 
from? The banks p«y it ont, and take it in, in per|>elu* 
al aueeession— «nd ili'ere is no difficulty about ehangv. 
Nor sliould there be — if the banks are properly eonduet- 

The prorttion in the New York law to prevent the eir* 
tulatiou of bills of lest tbtn $10, of other atitea, it uik- 
just.

The protracted cold and snow of (liia winter has been 
propitious lo farmers and lutiihermeii, and by tfie latter 
it if uiidrrslood a greater ijuantity of logs will be readjr 
for market than ever befoie at one time. Every jndicji<' 
tior* is favorable to an early freshet lo britig the logs to 
the mills; and thus this seasoot unlike the Inst^ opens to 
those engaged in the milling or lumber business, with 
the most Uattering prosjK cts. It is mdcubled that there 
will be tuwerl upon the Penobscot this year 150,000,000 
feet of boards, which will sell, at the tuills, for nearly 
three nriiHions of dollura! The immense resourees of

A New Orleans paper of March 20, tays-^n 1830 our

sion being by eroignints, all «u(>erindu€e<r here by our 
vast trade; our locality ii becoming every year more and 
more calcululed for their renidetice: our streets paved 
ami water running through lliem; our city lighted np 
With gas; our municipal regulatioiis more harmonised 
to its wants. This increase of population and im prove'*

gradual incresie of^po{)ulationt and improvement of th«

His informiition relative to prison discipljiie, and the in-

The On FILL K, «i-traok. We law, a few days since, a 
letter in the Cout'icr and Knqwirer, giving ihe'ditHih of 
an outrage commiUed ti]you a JcriaMie, in the village of 
Orville, Onondjip county, so horrible in ita cliaractvr 
and sn revolting ici its details, ilmi we cowld not, -ufuuld 
not, believe there were inotiaters in human Ehapc, capable 
of such unpui-Alleleil eruelty. 

Meeting with a rrieinl, yeiterday, from Syracuie, we 
inquired into the hi»tory of this outmge, anil foimd the 
facts as set fnrth in the Courier and Enquirer, lilemlJy 
true, and subitjintiutlv at follows: 

The wife of ——Tyler, who was sent, about a year 
since, to the state prtson, w»e left residitig at Oi-vdie. li 
was rumored, during the fall, that an improper intimacy 
*S(fl«d between this woman and a Mr* Voung, and nl- 



thtsugh no etidenee of it eniiled, and none of the dee 
ctcs of life were known to be violinted, a villa^ eacite- 
meiit Whs i-aised against her. The embers wciv finally 
fanned into a blaze, urtd liHving posscited diemselvei of 
a bueket of tnr and a bag; of few ther s, eiglit men proceed- 
ed in H sleigh, at VI oVlock at ni^lii, to the house of the 
oftender, where ihey confidently expected to surprise her 
ii) tied with htr pMmraour. Breaking into the house, 
they found the woman in bed with her ehikhen. Aftcr^ 
seaixhing in vain for Young, they seized (he womail 
dragged her, »ilb nothing but 1i*t night clothes, into ih 
street, pot A gag in her iiiouth, threw a blanket over liQI 
nhoulder», put hvr into the sleigh and drove cfT, leavin 
ihte little chititreji alone "mthtrut ^re or* <u Hjfht^ vltrtek 
teiih terror! 

The nionstert drove off about thret quarters of a mtln 
look her into a fitdd, tore off her night clodies, aikd ^ 
tlie itrhtnimenls of torture prepared for the purpose, the 
eight unli'iLJing wrelches perpelrated upon a deftncete 
and unfnrluti&te female, au outntge of ihe most hornb 
charticler. 

After literally enveloping the miserable woman in l 
lliry rolled her in the blMiikLt, took her to an unoccupie 
and unfrecjuented barn, n here they left her, erjtirejy hdp 
less, and still gflgj^ed, to perish with coldj Dulcis found 
ai she was, by ace t dent. 

The cries of die children, in the morning, attracted tli^ 
atteMioti of tho neighbors, and upon leaniing what hfti 
occurretl, a search was made for the woman. Noihini 
however, was discovered, till iieiirly dark, when a qu 
tity of tnr and feathers were found on the snow in a field 
where, the outrage was committed. Fi^om this spot th 
villains were tracked to the bam, where George GrinneU 
found the poor creature, alive, but speechless and sentu 
less! She wan taken home and a physician sent for wfa 
discovered dial her jaw hud beeti di&]oe»iedl Several 1 
nevolent ladies kindly aeeistetl in relieving the saj9*erin 
woman from her drendful cotidition, and aftc>r avren 
weeks her healdi was testored. A strong feeling of iQi<4 
digiiation ran rapidly through the community X* 
inonstert were soon tdentifi^d and prosecutions comnie 
ed. llie causes were to have been tried during the \ 
sent month, but were settled a short time since by tli#] 
p»ynieni of fonrleeri hundred dollars, IVom the defend

wiMwe behalf the claims were ni»d»*, n«>vi>r had niiy 
BBCinary eziiitence. (n *oiuh nii>uuein« the c1ainij>

9d; and this laf»t mentioned desicripiiun t^frnnd wuh 
f Beans of faUifyinx tl>e certificates of a^clerk of n 
■cord. The pfrnou who madf> ihcitH faii<e ceriificaten 
, for a fsreat number of elannant->; had frne accen» to 
r Ihe court; the clerk on one oceai^ion afflnerl hiii *it 
i seal to blanks, leaving them to bt* filled up as they 
rcqvired. These papers fell into the hands of thio 
I be ased them for hi.-* own purposcii. The Judae oi 

Ib^ clerk, and Ihe author of iheKe fontt>ri«'9', it would 
le first blush, were all equally concerned in ihi?< nrfa 
nesa. Dm the two lormcr, on beinR quPHtion^d in rr- 
B matter, frankly owned that ihey had ouch unlimited 
■ in the Inti^rily of the acmsed, that they never 
iny sutement he made. The Jud^e and clerk, ou 
tibrr them some of the papers above alluded to, admit- 
taey had never known such persons. It seems that 

and tlie Judfe occupied the same room as an office; 
another room on the same floor, separated from theirs 
■arrow paaaa^e. In all instances the ai^rnt drew up 
rations of the chiinianls, and after the applicants made 
tieir declarations they were laid aside. The a^ent, at 

periods, would fo into the clerk's room, with a hun- 
,pers. and get them anlheniicated at his pleasuie. 
■efally negligent conduct of the officers of the court is 
o tbe great confidence which they reposed in the in- 

the agent. But it appears to me lliat such indiffer- 
o the manner of discharging a hiih official trust, be 
aat of proper qualifications for office, and is but little 
sbenaible than if they had been accessories In the 
iHt. 



To prevent a rep<'tition of sach fraudulent praeticea, the ap- 
poiniiiii-nt of offic*!rs iii each state and territory for Ihe purpoeo 
iif KXiiiuiniMg in pttr-on all pfOfioners and applicants for pea- 
^ion:*, I conceive to be iiidinprnitable. My experience, for tlM 
l.ti<i iiixt«M*n years, han lully satiffird me that it is all important 
iiiai ilic mo!4t ricid ncrutiny Kh«>uld be exercised, not only in lb« 
iiivi'yiication of olaims, when originally presei.ted tiere Ibr ad* 
uiiicaiion, hui in makiug pnyments alter pension* are graaiad* 
As the orticf rs or a«»>nts appmntcd to pay pensions cannot, in 
l^fiiKral, detect impoMtions, provided the voucliers are drawn 
iip in conltirmiiy with the established regulainins; the duly of 
inquiring into liie idt'oiity of the pensiouMr sliould devolve on 
some pt'rtion or p«>r<>oiiii who can have an opimrtunity of eianil- 
niiig each (lenfioner in the nt-ighborhuod where he reaidea. 
Uiilexs some iiiodtt b<? adopted, under the sanction «>f law, for 
such examitiHiion. I know of nothing that this department can 
cauM: to be done tlMt can form an eflcctual barrier to the con- 
tinuance of frauds. IMii* additional expenditure, arloing fkom 
the creation of pufh offictirs, should not, in my opinion, be con« 
sidered an objection, as the amount saved by the servieea of 
Kuch officers would not only far exceed, but probably double or 
quadruple, the amount of their salaries. 

The time for making applications for pensions, nn aecoont of 
revolutionary service, should, I think, be limited by law. And 
it would be pro|H>r Hut the names of all pen*i«mer*, who fail 
to apply (f>r their stipends for two years, should be stricken 
from the roll: but this cannot be done witliout an act of con- 
gress to authoritie it. 

The pension laws should, I think, he so amended as to prohi- 
bit, under a heavy penally, any officer who may administer an 
oath to a pensioner, or an applicant for a pension, or who may 
autbenticate the papers for such a person, flrom being in any 
way inlet esied in the claim. 

Believing that it is sound policy, as well as humanity, to liva 
a preference to those laws which prevent crime, raUier than 
those wliich tend only to the punishment of the criminal, and 
that what I have suggested will not have the elTect to debar any 
Just claimant of his riaht:*, but, on the contrary, to causa a 
more favorable decision, I cannot doubt but tliat every trua 
friend of the soldier will coincide with me in the views I hava 
taken, and give to these propfisition* his cordial assent. I bava 
the honor to be, very reKpeitfully, your obedient tervant,

ELOQUENT EXTRACT, 
The folloi^ing t-lotjoeiit pataage is from a itpecdi do 
livered recenlly, in tlie senate of the United state*, bf] 
judge Parter^ of Lotiiaiana: 

'*There is no real freedom where men do not hold aH i 
their rightly personal and polilicat, by a higher tennrv ■ 
than the arbilmry will of any man; »lill le« where tlHIi 
eTijnymetti of the iierionai ri^^bt is made to depend oo iht I 
manner the political is exercised. Votj may hold up m \ 
your hand the wriltcn coniiiiLuliori of the country,) 
proudly vaLhibit it to the world as a proof of your tapcri* ] 
only of knowletlge in ilie llieoiy of government; but itii 
all mere mockery and dcluiiDn^ if its practical opertttia 
be to enable any one entrnned with its adminiairaliOD I 
eicpand or coniracl, for political eflVcl, its protection I 
its beitcflts. The men of the revolution, who, at all I 
zarda, and every siierifice of life and ti-easure, efUibJiiJ 
ed Ibis glorious fabric , thought^ or I have read their ht|i 
lory lo very little puqioae, that ihey were Bghlii*^ for thi 
reverse of all lhi«. It never entei'cd into lYieir imagtni' 
tiont that ibc polilical riglitn ihey were to imnivniit tul 
their posterity were lo be exerciaed under the risk of p««l 
initties^ that I'ewards and putTi.>»bmcnl were to be anv moi^ 
the consequence of voting, than of breathing the free t " 
of heaven, Sit^, if^ at the mniijcut when the gallant s 
eeslor* of my Hccoreipliffted friend from Sonln Carolin 
(Mr, PreMon) was i-ullying and leading hia backaroodt 
men to the third and dcciiive cliargc at King's Af oiintain^ I 
Ilia goL>d genius had addressed hini, and batit, **Youii 
tnaiu for whnl are you comboting? Vou inmgine you ai 
deslrn^'ing arbitrary govemmeul. You are doing so, 
il true; but Hatter not yniir*elf that the glowiittg virions f 
freednui^ which nnw fill your imaginatiott, will be realis^J 
td. In ie^a than half a ci-nlurv from this dny^ the reaullf 
of your Inbor* and your Wood will be a state of thingii 
uht-re one-half c»f the coinmunity shall be excluded frt»ni|

lo withhold l'iM)m, or extend tothcmf one of the most iiu-l 
portatit beneliia which men e^ipi^et lo derive from entei^f 
iiig inio srgcicly. I'he truth of this prediction will boJ 
e\eniplifitd in the fate of vourown descendants. Beforei 
three genri-aiiona pnas away, ihere w ill be one of them ia I 
the council;! of his country, who will emulate your vir* I 
tuea, rival your patriotism, and illostrate your race hf I 
his ehMjuence^ yet shall that msn bedeeroecf as incfipabfol 
of filUiig any ofRce of profit or honor under the nalioual ( 
government, as if he were exclyde^d hy the coiiatiiuiion; 
nay, more — the state which senila him into the eounoilt] 
of his cnnnlr>', does so at the risk of offending those ill I 
|iower, and suRering from their resentment,** Had all | 
this been tohl to the distinguliihed itjdividual in questiofit 
he would, I tlotibt not, in the moment of excitement, I 
liJive disregarded themlmonition. Ilia strong palriotisoi 1 
aind the %^%'\y experience of the gavernmenl, might have ( 
induced hi in to disregartl it until the close of his life, 
Htii bad he lived until now, how ernellr would he lutm j

Killeal peniiaient with me, aad my frienda from Alabnma, N. 
rk nad daewhere, and that ia ihn right of each congrcaa to 
elecl tu own printer. I know we all agreed in our countitu 
dnaal vivwa on thia aubject laat winter. It waa a qneation 
Which produced much eicitement in my district, and in. the 
■m&e fanerally. I gave my viewa, a« I am now about to Piprcni 
Umid. and pledged myaelf to my conatani'nta,irnuone elaedid, 
to oflor n reaolution embracing aubitiautially what i now offer 
OB liM a«b|ector printer, and to move to go into the election ai 
Um eoniBiencement of the laat aenaion. I did not do ao, and 
Itala rcqnlrea aa eiplanaiinn to my conatituent«. .My apology iii 
%o he Iband in the fact that alter I had mv rc«olution« prepaied, 
Wrt waa on the eve ol preaeiiting them, I wa<i requeated to per 
■■il Ml mUgr and )tnmeh abli-r intrniher of tlii<« b<idy, my frnmd 
tknm AlahaaM, (Mr. MeKinley), wlio addrraard the liiMiae on 
■■Uit<ay, to offer the reaoluliona. To thia I aaaenied with 
vent plaaaara, but he waa thwarted by the iatroducilon of Mr. 
Jfe Ajyic^ reaolution on the dep(»»iu quaaiinn, whicb waa de- 
bated the greater pan of the aea<iinn. I am proud of an oppor- 
tanKy ofredecniing my pledge to my eonatiiiienls, and at ilie 
•anM liaie aaabllng my honorable friHida to act out their prin- 
dplea, and aid me In redaiining, for each congrear, Uie exer- 
dee nrlla Inherent and cooatitutional riglila. I have adopted 
ttm oalj Bode by which tMa can be eflWcted, and at the ;iame 
tllM anenra a viva voce vain. I have no petty purponn to aab 
We were for il ai the la*t aeaaion up<in principle, and 
be againac it at thia. Our party in nverwhelnung In 
I ft ia eommilted on thh queNiion. We have raid thnt 
^ naUiHtiiNi haa been violnt*'d by an expiring acapion of 
eongreai eireiing a printer for a new congreac; and let ua not 
hring npon onraelvea the reproach of inconi>i*tency, but nobly 
alcpfbrward lo the reacne of the conMiiution. Abie, nnno 
aweraMe argnmenta have been made on thii quoation in the 
Mhar end of the capit«il, by a great wiatedman and true demo 
ctai, wMeh, I am anre, will liave due Wright with all, ajid with 
MMM ninre than my frienda from New York. 

I allnde, air, to the powerful argument ma«le by the honorable 
ThOHMa n. Benton, in the aenaie, on the 19th, and published 
la the Olobe of iheMd February, 1633. on the motion to go into 
the election of public printer, lie had, on the l.'Uh of the aame 
■onih, introduced a reaolution, Uie aniiKfanee of whieh I have 
•mhracnd in my amendment. It waa a jvint m«liitU>n of both 
-#o ia mine. It changed the lime of eieetion of printer 
9 end of the expiring contreaa to th«! ffntl week of the 
agree*'; tn doea mine. Here Mr. Brnmn'a reaolution 
J mine goee further, and declnrea. that tlie election of 
priaicr, nod ailoilier Hectiona, ahall be Hra race. And thia la 
the only aaierial difference between them. I coiifeM, ilial 1 
BlHMiM have been aomewhat at a loaa, aa to the powera of thia 
hnnac, in repealing, or ia any meaaore, chanting, a joinl reao-

It Ii a aingto reaidntion, which will dianpa iha mode of arUct- 
lag a priatarfroM a vou by ballol la wUm vaca, under aj^ai re- 



aolnthHi, and change it in nothing elae— ihua recngnldnf Ha 
validity in every word and ayllable, except aa tu ihe niodv of 
WNking the Hectiun. It cannot be dime. We have a preee- 
dent, directly in point: I qnute from Mr. Oentun^a apeeeh bo- 
fori! ulludrd to. Mr. Hciiton aaid: 

*'llia preaent object waa to prevent an election at tbiaaea- 
aion; and for thia he had a good precedent, originating hi iba 
aennte ii«elf, preciaely in point, iu ifwry pattiuular. He refer- 
red to the election ol a public printer towarda the cloae of Mr. 
Adama^a adminiatration, when Mr. (jreen waa elected ovi^ 
Uiilea k 8eainn. Tlie election came on; aeveral bnlloiinga tiKik 
place; Mr. Ureen had a plurality of voiea, nut a inajurily of lira 
whole. The jaiid remilnlion under which Ihe acnate balloted 
(the reaolution of 1819) expreaaly declared, that a plurality 
ithould be auAcient; but tlie majority, on llie eve of proceed- 
ing to the bulloi, had poiMed a tinnle reaolution, to conind the 
;otRl niMilution, declaring that a majority of the wlitde alwuld 
be neceaaary to a choice. The aupportera uf Mr. Ureen claim- 
ed the eleclioni but the majority adhered to their •<Ngie reaolu- 
tion, againat tlie terma of the joint reaolution, and refWaed lo 
permit the election of Mr. Ureen to be declared. He, Mr. B. 
then moved that the ballotluga ahould be diaconlinued. They 
were diaconlinued accordingly. No elerlion of printer waa de- 
clared. The aeaaion terminated without any farther pioreed- 
inga on the aubject. At Ihe ciMnmencemenl of ilie next aea- 
Mou, a reaolution waa brought in, declaring that Mr. Ureen had 
been duly elected at the preceding aeaaiuo. lie, Mr. 0. voted 
for tlie resolution.*' 

It paaaed. Can Ihera be a atmnger, clearer caae in pfdnl/ 
Here the aenate went into the election under the Joint reaidn- 
tion ol 1819, but paawed a aiugle reaolutuNi, alteriiig il ao Air 
only aa the number of votee neceaaary to ciHiatiiuie an elecliuu 
waa concerned. That aingle renoluiion waa declared lo be a 
nullity by the aenate al iia neat aea»ion,ou the ground Ihnta 
joint reaolution could nnl be altered or changed by a alngli) ir- 
Fiolntion. And the aenate and houae of repreaentaiivea, ni IM9, 
did, by a Joint reaolution of both houaea, make the alieraihHi 
which had been attempted to be made the prKcediiig aeaaton by 
the aenate alone, and declared Ihal a mi^lty of the whole 
number of votea givea ahaaM he neceaaary to a choice in the 
election of printer, bat leaving Ihe reaolution of 1819 unchanged 
in cveiy other |Mirticular. Now, air, have not Ilie aiftiate and 
hou«e uf repreaentativea each acted on thia queaiion, of altering 
the reanlntion of 1820 by a aingte reaolntmn, and decidfd that it 
ciinnnt be done/ I tliink ao, moat clearly. I winild have no 
henitHtinn in aaying that the whole reaolution conid be ael aaida 
hy any im;w congreaa which might chooae to elect iia own nrin- 
ler, but I deny that an expiring congreaa, which haa uiaoe all 
ita electiima, can by a aingle leaolniion alter a Joint reaolution 
in part, the validity of which reaolution ia recugnixed aa eonali- 
lutional. I aak gentlemen to deal candidly, and aay whether 
their object la n<ii to go into the eleeiion of printer al thia ana- 
■ion? If not, what other eleeiion la coming on at thia aeaairm. 
And, air, I ahould like lo know whether the nail roiigreaa will 
not be aa well qualifled to Judge Ihr ilMlf uf Ihe inodc of etrrlF 
iiig Ut offlcera aa thia congreaa iaf What riglii have we lo oajr 
lo our aucceatfora, you are a "flfpery, anaoMng" aet of IbNaara! 
We have a high regard for your eou'iliiucnta, but no ronideiien 
in you, and have therefore aaid that yen ahall vote viva vnea In 
Ibe election of your officera. It ia true that we elected aH nnr 
OlBcora by ballot— there iii no complaint— the liooac la aallafted 
—the country ia well pleaaKd— not a word of diac na lent, an ve 
an occasional groan of diaappointment, coming not fraai the 
houae or country. Mir, Il appeara lo me. to be atepping over Iho 
line of our duty, to undertake to diciate lo the neat woiraai 
with regard to the made or the 9leelion of printer^ 

The conatituiion aecnrea to each houae Ihe power to deter- 
mine Uie rulea of U$ proceeding*; but not lo pretcribe rulea lo 
govern Ihe proreedingii uf the next congreaa. 

Bui, air, aa it wiii aland in Ihe light of a mere recommenda- 
tion to the neit congreaa, I am willing to accommodate gentle- 
men in their fondnei.4 for viva voce voting, with a hope of con- 
ciliating their Hupp«irt on the main quCMtinu—tiial of aecariftg to 
each congreM the right to elect ita own piinier. And, air, I am 
the more inclined to thi«, aa it la aaid that it will certalnlv aO' 
cnre per/eH Independente In voting; whereaa, now il la com- 
plained that the oldeat Mil iergeanl* may take out a raw re- 
cruit and drill him for houra, and when he cornea to vote, ho 
will not feel thoae noUe lofty aentlinenta of indeprndenee which 
will prompt him m give the terteanl^a vute, but will •nroAlnghf 
eive hia ovn. Thia h monatniaa, and ought to be eurreeied. 
For, ifit la not, the noble acience of drilling will be atripped of 
hall It* charma, and wild, rudf* militia men will be constantly 
conaiiliing their Jud^menit and their c^ntHetuet in great naii«nal 
que»lMina, involving the liberty, liappineaa and «;on»iilutiOBai 
I nafety of the conn try. All of which, it %* Ihougiit. may lie cor-

The spirit of incendiarism clearly shewed itself in 
-Jfo/r/fnore, on Monday night last. A light was observed in 
^fen auction store^ (sittmle in a solid block of buildings), 
^t about 9 o^clock — which, being unusunL,tl)e doors were 
ITorced; when it was discovered that a candle was ptaeed 
^o as to set fire lo sundry eombu!«tit>leS| such «i .itniw, 
^e. aiid which had actually commenced^-«ndf. in a few 
^*nomenia» would have been iMtst jimtiug out! Ut» ibe luj 
l^fa box of candles, (which had been opened to take the 
U«at was btirning),, was found a Lucifer match with 
vhich the candle was lighted! Alter uhieh the person 
eicapcft through a trap ilcor into the cellar, mm from 
thence by the yard, &co. 

As there arc no robberies or pickings of pockets com* 
initted — it ii difficult to accouitt for ihese thinc^s; and it 
appears that the tame spirit has sliewn itself at Pliiladel- 

It is stated tliat a young mRn aged about 19 years, lias

A bill has passed both branches of the legislature of 
l*erm*tftvama, authorising ibe cotistiiiction of a canal 
from the termination of the Pennsylvania canal, at Co- 
lumbia, to the Maryland line^ which is, if» f^ct, to the 
tide — lliere being a canal already made williin the slate 
of Maryland. This caual is to be privaltf property, at 50 
dollar* per share, and books lo be opeued to receive sub* 
acriplions, &,c. It passed the senate two to one, and ibc 
house of representatives 57 against S6. 

The Philadelphians believe that Ibis o.inal will throw 
into the lap of Bfdtimnre^ a large »!»are of the profits of 
the public works — and have, In town meeting and by their 
eily councils, so said. We do not suppose that this will 
be the case. It will simply, in our opinion, give to com* 
tiiodities descending the Su*fjUehannah iheir natural di- 
rection lo the tide — from whence, by the Cbeiapeake and 
Delaware canal, or to Baltimore, they will seek a mar- 
kct^^-«s circumsinnces, or the wishes of parties, may dU

large majorities by which the bill pa^ed, (»nd in op[

NILESP REQISTCR— APRIL I8, ld35— TRIAL OF RICHARD LAWRENCE. 110 



A dceiaioii by the houM of repreiteaMtivea has 
Reuad, for lh« Imi two nesnionB. Michlitan, in ihe 
IS IhM, is aiaklag preparsUoiis to call a coiivuniion to 
• ft coaaliuilkm, «iid denand an admlwion into the onion 
pravloiia aoMOt of congrtM**. The inhabitants on 
I lertitoiy, during the last winter, ci pressed their 
I lo to under tira JariiMlictioa of the state of Ohio. Tlir 
It|l4lftt«ra mt MIcliigaa thereafter passed a law of a hifhiy 
pSMi elMvacter, to punish tliose who should acrept a cnm- 
-^= — , Oftdcr the authority of the stau* of Ohio. After 
■fu of this tow, tlie alternative wa« placvd bt'fure Ohio, 
> eafbreu ber Jurisdiction over the dif pnicd territory, or 
vauaadoa ber claim. Prom an unshaken cnnvioiion that her 
dda waa Jwt, ihe legislature passed Uie laws ren-rnd to by 
fOU, fta lh« Mosl suitable to resist the afgrestiion nf Michigan. 
Thf Saw naiBtftlui tbe right of Ohio— but is euurely padlk in 



Obio bad forborne for yean to enforce her Jurisdiction over 
dN fubaMlauli oo a part of the dwputnd territory, from the be- 
MTtbat coagioa would decide the question, and that the re- 
ipeeUvejpftniaa would remain in statu quo. After the organi- 
MMM oitbe eoouly of Wood, which includes tlie eastern part 
•f dw dWipuMd territory, the Jurisdiction of Ohio was extended 
•virtlM nw iBhabiunts that settled there. They were then 
ttpMJijd to beloftg to Michigan. The Judge who presided in 
tta eoanu of Wood thought it savored of oppretsion to harass 
tti tabftMiftftU by eoofllcting Jurisdictions, and that the neglect 
la pubtib wltDCsaua aad Jurors, for contempt in failing to obey 
BCUi of tha eoHil, could not In the least affect the final 
lof tbe right of Jurisdiction. He thought it comported

7*he witnesses having bi>en called into court; 
Mr. Key ii>ve to adiJr*>M some ob«rrvaiion« to the beBcta| 
wliru Lawft'nce otuiti'd up frum lii« chair, under evident «B* 
citeineal of mind, and naiJ he wished to know whether it wai 
correct to bring him Ithere, or not? He elaiuied the crown of 
Great Britain, he said, and alHO that of tlic United Stales; and 
he wishril to know if Ihcy could brine hiin there.' 

Judge Crunch desired hini to take his seat; and let bis coun- 
sel manage hif case for him. 

I.airreiice complied; bat still apparently continued the sub- 
ject, in eonver^.iiion wMb his counsel. 

Mr. IV. L. Brent inquired of the court, whethei;, ai tliis waa 
simply the ca^e of a misdenieauor. the presence of the pri- 
soner, considering bis statu of mind, might not be dispensed 
with. 

Ipoirrenre again rose, and addressed the court. Uc wisliud 
to know, if, having, as lie had, the sword- 
He was again stopped; and 

Mr. Brent staled his belief, that it would be impossible for 
tha trial to proceed, if the prwon*!r remained in court. The 
couiae wliich It mu^t take, the defence which it was intendpd 
to set up, could not fkil still ftirUier to excite him. He would, 
indeed, rather he should remain if it were ptiSHible. 

The covri thought it necessary tliat the prisoner should re- 
main. 

Mr. Brent raid he bad done all he could to quiet the prlM)ner*i 
feelings; but had not been able lo preieut any course of which 
he would make choice. 

Judge Biortetl said, it was always customary for the prisoner 
to be In conn, in caies like the present. To perniit liiin to de> 
part would be altogether a novel proceeding; lie sliould like Uia 
trial to proceed in the ordinary way. 
The panel was then called; on which 

Laicrenee observed, that thny had calif d the Jnry, thul,&j 
wished to know if this was correct; he certainly wai< king. 

Judge Cranch. You muni sit down and be quiet, Mr. Law- 
rence, until called on to aniwer. 

The privoner sat down; but not nnlil he had reiirrated Ihe 
a«sertion, that he was king of Great Britnin. and likrwise of 
llii9 country; and that he was protected by the law in iiiit clnim. 
The following Jury wavlhen sworn; niaiivof ihi* whole panel 
having been challenged on various groundH; chielly of having 
formed and ezpresved opinions upon the case: 

Mr. II. L. Cross, Mr. Charies Butter, 

William Orme, John Mount, 

John B. Ferguson, Samuel Wilson. 

William Eaton, Edward A. Roche, 

Benjamin bewail. Noble Herltell, 

Paul Stevens, Jeremiah Orme. 

The witnexKcn present forihe prosecution having been sworn; 
Mr. F. 8. Key rose and opened the cn«e, somewhat to the 
following effect: The prinouer before llio Jury was charged with 
an off(>nce which waN, at least in thin part of the worlif, of very 
rare occurrence; which rendered it the more neceiisary tliat he 
Khould give a statement as to the nature of the evidence which 
he nhould produce; and, further, becau«e many rumors wide of 
truth, as uimally happened in such caneii, had gone abroad. 
Ttie prisoner was charged with an assault, with intent to kill 
and murder; and the object of that assault wait the chief ma- 
gistrate of the country. There were two count* in the indlclr 
ment. One chargini the assault, with intent to kill, lie. tha 
other Hating more particularly the manner, Inntruments, lie. 
It was an offence, which was, by our laws, a mere inii>demi-a- 
nor, and pnniMhablu bv fine and imprisonment. The station, or 
office, of the object or ibis crime, wa« to be left eniireiv out or 
the question; and il was to be considered in the same light aa 
though committed on the most humble individual In the coun- 
try. The fhimera of our constitution had not thought it a«* 
cessary to surround the chief magistrate with any additional 
protection than those laws, which were deemed suflkient for 
the citiaen holding the most obscure sUtlon. The love of order 
and of Justice had heretofore been found, and, he hoped, would 
continue to be found, su file lent for this purpose. They were 
not u> look on the extraordinary and providential delivery of tha 
president from the danger of tbe prisoner's act; but, fkee from 
any anxiety, lo Judge of the case according to the evidenca 
which would be offered. 

h would be found, that, on a public occasion, the preaident, 
and headi« of the departments, were retiring from the ball or 
reprebcnialives, from the funeral ceremonie.., which had tshen 
place in consequence of the death of one of the nifmbern ol the

Judicial circuit in tlie (Jul ted Statef, betng preacMtd by ibG

Mr* Fb*(«r au^gested to tbe house the con^i iteration of the

eommlt it to a comaiitiee of tbe whole on (be alate of ihta 

Mr. BcBfJiUy thought the b<1] too important to be acted nn 
by the tiouae without i la llrtti going tti rough the ioveatigatiun of

Sfime converMatitin ensued between Miaan, Fitter, M^^r,

At the auggeaimit cif Mr. Ctay, Mr. FoMttr Diodtfl^d bta mo- 
tioti HO a» to includii the printing «r the bill, 

Mr. tViUt demanded the previoua f|iie*tion, wblcli mntion 
was not, luiwcver, secnndi-d by the bouse— aye* GB^ oot-n 74. 

Mr CduUer could *ce no reason why there slmulil he «nv 
de^iarture^ in ibis casct fromi the ordtnarjr course. The bill 
was a moat impHiriani one, involving ih<t lives and pro(ieriffH nf 
l|iou4anii«, Jind be tioped the haiise wouhl not il^vi;ai it orthOMi: 
pmleclive proceeding which the rules had thrown around 
efery such uiea»iure. 11*^ was in favor of extending every pri- 
fllega enj<tyed by tbe cild lo tbe new states, but not at tbe ex- 
{i(Hi»e of the furnnir. N^vn Jersey, [Iclnwarc and Moirylnnd 
ti«d incr«a>eil in populniion^ and ought not to bn deprived of

sgainKt It. The bill prMpu-ietl n manifest act of injuatice and hu 
trusted would timlergrt tlie sirictcdt «crutiiiy iti the dt«iiudlng 
commttice of ilie ltou«4?. 

Mr. Carmichafl remnrked that the propotfUlon of Ihft cbair-

its de«igu was not ah eiprLH-^sed Ht; hoped ttie gentleman ftoui

Mr. Clay disavowed any p^rsanat feeling oo the subject. 
Wlie« on Uw CHie baud, however^ he waa dispoaed ta render

It was to aecure the action of Uie iKHisf* uo 
thrs al1impi)rtaht ttibject. 

Mr. Cafi€ adverted to the long withheld joatice which thii 
house owed to the n- w atatea. He moved Uie prevtoua quea- 
tion, but withdrew it at the requeiiil of 

Mr. Fatter, wiio made eiplanaiory i^marka. He was sur- 
prised at lh<^ opposition winch had been lelicited by the simple 
uiation which he had madti* 0« avowed tU* intention of pro- 
poaiog crrtuio aniendnieniia when Uie hdl should come before 
the bouse. He then renewed, according to protuise, the ma- 
tion ior the previous queaUon* 

[Here a discussion enaQcd OD the nature nf th« pfctrioai 
i)tiesiion as applicable to the preacni caae. Mr. Spei^hi tluMi|ht 
the pteviouN question would b« Uie poaaagCi but thechetrw^ 
cided ottierwi»e.] 

Mr* Cage then withdrew Uio motion for tlxe previniw <««•- 
lion. 

Mr. Thomttt again addressed the hoiise. He viewed Uie MM 
in the light of an AUeinpt to deiitroy one of the worthy eiUstve 
of Maryland. Justice had h^-eii di:nJied to that stale by lUc pff»» 
ccedinga in this mailer, and be demandt^d as one of her fc^rv^ 
aentativcs, that it should be rendered to her. Mr. T. )ia4 pnB»

BuHnIo Adverliscr, and dated at Monroe, (Michiguii), 
April 4ih: 

•'YcslerdaY, a serious riol look place at Toledo, upon 
the disputed ground, and Ibe rioters were arrested hy 
our sherilf, by virtue of process from our Michignn 
eoarlt; bul the rioters were rescued out of the cuatody 
of our sherilf by the Ohio disorganizers, and they im- 
mediately went before the Ohio magiiitrateft and ple»d 
guilty lo tlie charge. UV- morrow onr sherifl* iig;iiii 
goea there, with the posse of (lie county, lo retake ih*t 
pritOticrs and their rescuers^ which will, in all probabili- 
ty, bring the mililwry into colliitioiu on both sides. 

The Cleveland Whig says — It is believed that an U. 
S. offieer passed through this place two or three diiys 
noee, towards the ieene of aeti 041 ; but in what capncity 
—whether at commissioner on behalf of the getii^'ntl go- 
vernment — la military commander, or with a commission 
in his pocket ii9 govtnior of the territory, is nut known* 
It 11 not improbuhte Uiat the president Hi 11 corr<^i der him- 
self bound to proiect the territory, wjibom reference to 
the merits of the main question* But we are slow to be- 
lieve ibiit under the circumstaoces as they exist, he will 
authorise any hoslile measut*es lo prevent the execuiion 
of the law of Ohio referred to, so long as ihe private 
rights of the people of the territory are not invkded* As 
it would seem Ihkt tliere is no necessity for such an iciT»> 



iion, ive shall yet hope that the matter will be compro- 
mised in a rnunner Siiti»fi«eiory and honorable to alL 

The *4*illsbuti;h Advoeale'* mys — 

It seems th^t iht'eommisBionerfl appninted by the pre* 
iident to act us nicdiuUirs belwet-n iMichigan arid Ohio 
hitvc had an inteiview with governors Lucas and Maiuii, 
and ihut iheir mis^iun Unn liLau unsnccei^alid, goyt-rimr 
Lucas huung refused to tkk'v the sorvev of the northern 
boundary, and decluring that he would not vield one 
jot or titile to ihe %<i)icit:Uioni of ihe commlssioneri* 
Some dink'iducs have already occured on the border. 
We are informed says the Ueiroit Joui-nal, llnat the slie- 
lift* of Monroe and some of his deputies have betnaiTt'St- 
ed in the discharge of theit- duties, by the authorities of 
Ohio, and carried to Toledo, A good deal of excite* 
metil prevails at Munroe, and a serious coiiHicl is apprc- 
h ended. 

3[>-We have accounts from Perij&hurg, Ohio, (on the 
borders nf tlie disputed groun<n, of ihe I4tli insL staling 
the arrest, (under very aggnivating cireunmtances), of 
cerlain citizens of Toledo, by the nnthorities of Mtclit- 
gant and thai the slieiilf hud, with his /&oi**e of 200 men, 
Mgarn entenfd ihe town for the purpose of making arrests 

btiit the cAuit proved unsuccessful, the persous having 

Hut the **Zaiieiville Republican'* of the ISlh sny*— 
•"The war rcfipecting the disputed territory between 
Ohionnd Michigan is over without WoodNhed. The |;eo- 
ple went on lo elect their township officers on the 6ili in- 
lUint, iu cortformity with the law» of Ohio, without mo- 
leslalion, and ihe commissioners are progressing hjIIi 
the survey of the line. The military movements on the 
piirt of MichigMn have been suspended, and the dispute 
will no doubt be sellkd by Uie next session of congresi." 

Tlie Uniled Slates Gazette of Saturday says — 
Wilde ihc (risln of cars were on Uie routw yesterday, on iba 
Camden ami Amhny mU road from Ihe ciiy, it was ditfcovurett, 
nbnui Ave iiidrs rrnm BardeiiLown, thAl the bnggn^i^ car wa« on

The ^^tcr part of the baggag*^ was aft ifily consumed, 
and also the mail from PhiladelphiM. The loss of baggages 
is heavy — perh.'ips G or r,iKKI dollwra. Many were uri- 
fortun Die enough not to save a change of uppsirel, and 
others had money and other valuables in their triuiks. 
The agent of the comiiany is saicl to have dmte all thut 
could be done, under the circnmftUnces; but the **crtile'* 
was capsized, and fell bollom upwards, and water waa 
exceedingly scarce. A I urge quantity of jewelry nar- 
rowly cftraprd drjiiriiclion. Oi>e ludy had diaojQuds 
worth 3,0(X) dollars. 

The Bridgeport Farmer states that one of the llcint 
belonging to ihe Zoolr>gtc:d Institute in that city, wai 
killed by » leoparil which whs kept in the same «age at 
NorwHik, on SHtrndny la*t. 1 he loss is less to be re- 
gretLed, as the iniiitute have several, including some 
voung ones horn in this countrr. The place of the de- 
ceaied lihitioceroi (valued at'i,000 dollars) bn beca 
supplied. 

Raw ailkf as we learn from the Harlingtofi Free Press, 
has been produced this year in Mnn-ifu'ld, Conn, li* the 
amount of over ^fiO.OOO. The connty of Windham, 
Conneclicut, produces five tons of silk annually valued al 
^5W,000, and if reeled, would be worth double th*t

pro|to»ted relative tn IJissenters* marriages, is one that 
fully relieves Ihem from all chance of oficnce towards

In the fall of LBi29,^au application waa made lo the departmeiil

had *'seereied and concealed^' the ittcLtT or tlxni he had falfely

fiart of ihe *eaHinii of congreas in It^i^ that ihc mail lacttitiea to 
the we#t were to be ctiriailed. Eetyitig tin Mr Barry'^^ tep<*rt*^ 
And fecliof then| an I have felt at ait tiiniM, a deepliitere»l fiir

nned, and that the contraetorii may receive nuch conap^iiAAlion 
119 may he rea^ionAbie for the nervicen rifquired." 

fin the M of March, 1834, Mr. Barry, in obedience to a call 
made (to him, repurnMl to Ute aenatei» thai for carrying iU« mad 
on llie routef mentioned he pAld anntially fr^,00O; And thai t»«

^tO.UOO yenrly, from ibe lit of Aprd, 1839, lo the SOtti of Pf tt- 
vt- Other, 1833. 

Whrn 1 feigned the recommendation meniioned, I repeat, ( 
had no tiU.*plciofi; nor had I the nieana of kiivwint tlmi Mf. 
Barry wa'!' pnyiog 8^,7^ mor«> yearly than he re|Kiried to con-

dnvfn untiet the brad of **iUiptoviiIcncK.'» Mr. Barry disconti- 
nned llie allowance of llie ^IO,UOO, on the ^Mtli of Novroiber. 

These are \h*f facta of the caJie, and 1 will now advert lo Mr* 
Barry '« coinment-^ vpon th< in. He«aya,*^Thoiifh the Dnancial

auKiuni of creiht which *■< du« to hia ^hicerity; yet this i» but ^ « 
fair apecinH^n ol ihe general candor of that rf|K>rt." 

Mr. Barry alleges thai tho»<e who signed the rccommen4atio«i 
ctroiifly urged the realomiiori of ih« etirn itllowance. There la 
not An intimation in the recommcndaiion that nny sllowanc«,, 
or any com ii^n^ia lion was to be re^tortd. I did not knavr that 
any extra nUownncn tind bct;ii made, nrir Umi any curtaMincnt 
had Inkiin place; and uf couriie I could not have rt'couiatt'ndcd 
the rc^toraiioni of thui which I never suspected had bwcn allovir* 
ed. The rccrMiimendation fpeatts lor luelf. It nfipeais 
Higneri of it had been Infornned, ttiRt llie mail fAciliuca fro« 
nilladel|d]jn wei«tward were to be dimnii«h«d or entirely cat 
off. A{;»oif!t thia they rcmonMltnitd. The poitmaster (r<<i»eral 
had reported to contrn^ii itmt he paid ^7,0lHI tor a daily mail 
from Philad«dphia lo l'iitj>bur|ih. If Uiere was mor** tervico 
pet formed than wa« f'Aactvd by the contract, and which WMI 
withtn itie fiTOvince of tlie po^tanaater general to direct, we rv- 
commended that it be continued, and tliat a reajionalile < 
l>ensaiion lor such extra service be paid to tlie cofitrmcionb 
The liiw uf 1B35 had Buihorlaed ihe iHMimaiiter feneral tore* 
quire extra i ervice, and had re*iricled him lo pay iherefm nm 
more than a ptq rata a I low a nee baaed upon ilie origiaal c 
ifaci. 

That which it tvid«n Ihe pro ralo, ii preiumptively i 
bl**; and that which it beyond it, H unrca^ooable. The mitio^i 
rity of thecommiitee, in preveniiof the reault of their rrflfe^ 
lions in thif CA#e (pafe 1Q7 -6), doubled the eompenaatinn for 
carrying Ihc roaili Irom fhiladeiphia to Pittfburgti, and on ibai 
principle found the *'un provident*' balance men lion vd. 

Mf. Barry»a eulogism claim for him die cbarncler of "a hi|{|| 
minded and honnrAble man." They do not pretend to 4*nf^ 
that there have been Bfeat abuses in the deparynent; but Ihey 
say, Jifl did not participme in them— for the reavon, I fuppo*em 
''that the king: can do no wroni;, because he does no busincaa.'* 

If there in any apology to be oifered for the rnanjf miai 
menta contained in Mr. Barry 'dt letter, ii is on that prin 
alone. If he he what hii<i friends represent him to be, he t 
not liavr known the contents of his li<itcr. No hifh mindr^ 
honorable man would make fahe reporu to cong rcn, year a/l 
year, nor would he attenipi to deceive the people. 

Willi but the knowledge of Iht po*tmaKter generates eiintiaf 
reportp, when I signed the recommendation, I would lirn it 
aitnin; and with the knowledge of the f<icia again drawn fro«B 
him, in his rrpr»rt uf Mnrt-h 34, IK^l, I would again concur \m 
ih« ren<iri of ihe minority ot ttie coininiitee; and lrui*t I *hnn '

On rtachiiTi; ihc meciing bouse,, erected on tite battle- 
field, the tsofBin was plact.'d iu ttie middlu ai^le, in front 
«r the ptilnit. 

The addrra* of Edward Everett was a wortliy commc- 
tnomtion of the dity* and the »c<fne it waft intended to ce- 
lebrale. It wat full ofnlTcctinc; incidenta tbiit thrilled lo 
the hearts of the audieitce; atitl of patriotic i«[iipe^U ihv,\ 
aniitLated and electrified them. Ci>ni|iOM d in tUc ttyle 
efelauic elegance th;tl marks everv thing be tonchea, it 
wat •till peeuliarlj fatniliiirt and free fi-oi;!! every l!ii»(; 
thai euuld he mistuken for di3|i»l»j. It wna he^iit spe^ik* 
iitg to heart. We were c^irried hack to the d«wn of the 
revolution; to the pfcpan4tO)7 »cenea oruoloni.nil warfare 
tad Iiiditkit maiiacre. Here wai the school of the fit-»t 
aoldiera of lil»erty» Here they had been itiured to peril, 
and leeyrtomed to secnei of carnRge. On tbe CHnsuliun 
fronllepa— in the »everitie}i of the forest winters oF the 
ti'^Hh — on the ibores of LakeCJiamidain^ — under the uiiEU 
of Quebec — ^ibey had been taught under no gentle rua*- 
ter* the haiHUhipa of war, and the rigid discipline of the 
camp. And wheti the day came, tliat called upon tbetii 
to take arm* in defence of tbeir own right* — was it itrange 
that it found tbo»e rondy— 'Who had shed tbeir blood utr 
their sovereign ou the pb*in» of Ahruluim — to pour it out 
like water for their firesides and families ou tlie green of 
Leztitgton? 

We would not he lo utijutl to the orator, as to attempt 
m reoapltalatioo of the topiei of hit discourse. Two or 
three inGidenta he iDeiitioned were of so touching m dia- 
racter ai to draw tejin tital indeed seeuieil '^from wes 
mmsed to weep. " Of the men thot by tlie aecond dit* 
etinr|rG or the Jlritish mu^qmeti^, one lived iu a iiotiie 
fronting oji the scene of buttle. When the rout took 
place, he turned to hiti home, and ndvunceil toward» it 
with totteririg iiteps. Hi a wife atood in hreaiblesa anxie- 
ty at the wiiulovp, Stretehing his armi towai-dn her JW 
«id in bis dying momet)4«, he IVU at his length in the 
duit. Ufjahk" ftgain to rise, be crsiwled on bis bands and 
feet to the door step of the bntjke, and was reached by 
hit wife in time to pour out bii laflt breath ju btr iirms. 

Another stmy ol iiidoniiiable valor, worthy of an ini- 
iiiOftaj renown, and unsurpaK^cd hy any iiieident in liii> 
topy, it that of the brave Parker, who bad sworn that 
Aome wliRi come might, he wt»uld ne\er turn bis back on 
the British, Hit spirit bad been roused hy long mciliia- 
tiori on ib*; wrongs of bit countrymen, and nerved to a 
degree ofreBolule daring, that made bim a willii^g— >vr. 
All eager sacrifice to the great cause tbut lie knew lo he 
impending. He bad made a noble vow, and it was no- 
bly redeemed. When it appeared certain that a ilrujj- 
fl« wouJd occur, he placed bis hat containing bii ammn- 
fttlion at hisfeei^and resolved to await the isme on ihe 
■poL On receiving a severe wound, he fell upon bi» 
knee, aud hft^iig discliargcd hit piece, wai ppepiring to 



reload, when he wn* imnHfiicfd by ibe bnvonel of • sol* 
dier, a bo rushed u^ton biiu and dctipatcbed him at a 
blow. 

Jii the course of the address, Mr* Everett gave beaiui* 
ful ^ketclies of Hancock luid Adums. The grandfather 
of Hitncock was for man}' years the ]iaat»r of the congre- 
gation in l^xtngton, tlnit wortibipped on the ipcft wbert^ 
the meeting house iii wliich th« omlor wns tpeakin|^now 
ttandit. His futhcr wh* a »*ative uf Leilnglon, and Han- 
cook himself had puased nuuty years of hia )<nMtb and 
cirddbood in tbut vdlage. Adums and Haneoek rtfsem- 
liled each other only in tbeir pMlriotism. The one nir{;ht 
have been only the snoited child of fortune, if Provi- 
dence had not destined hi it) for the acenmplifehment of a 
migbiy pui-pose. As be w«b Wberul in his |;e:ien»ua alHu* 
enee, so the otiier a as useful Irooi bis iucornipliblie pti- 
veriy. The character which whs dniwu of Hiuhe distin- 
guiiiihed men — (jfien at tbeir cbaracters hwve been draw n 
both in parallel and contrast — was full of vigor, beauty 
and eloqiience. 

To llic other topics of the oration we have no time to 
allude: but they were selected ;ind niaiiNged wi lb great 
■kill and felicity- The child ftu of Uic first actors in a 
mighty revolution had as«ie!idjled, nfler the bipAc of ntCitt; 
thflu half a century, to do honor lo tbe inrnion of tbeir 
fathers. Before them rcpofeed tbe »%bes of llie first mar- 
tyrs of a glorious ctiusc; ashes — lioiH wliose enjihtr* hud 
lieen kindled the iume, that Idnxed tbroii^^h o»*r conti- 
nent, and baa burned a peri>etuul beacon to alt the na- 
tions, Snrrounding the comii tlat conlaifted I he dust of 
their companions inarms — &Ht tbe fttir\ivtiig loldiert of 
tlvat memoi-Mble day: bent with years, gray baii*ed and 
decrepid, but sustained by the impressive contrast nf 
their (ne^nt condition, nnd tbut nf their beloved coun- 
try — with their vivid memon: of their darkness and [xri! 
dnil brooded over thetn on tin- eve ol hiitlle. 

On die coitcbHion of tbe cburcb services, the procs^ 
sinni iij»nin moved, and accompHnied tbe remains In ibe

They were deposited in tbeir perniiUie>»t place nf si-pnl-

At the dinner whkh f<dloued the ciremnniea, manjr

anil apeeches were thrown out aiib f^ivat effect, Judj;c 
Story t governor Armatrong, Daniel WebNlrr, tbe aticn-

Sxiieth aunlv€r»ary of the battle of I^exington — The

Theohjeet of the ccreiuouiHl was the laying of tlie cor-

At lU o*c1ock, a {ir<)e(!Ssion of the stihHvriSfirA, revola-

The Ai'rvici'S at the cliun-h were <if a very iiilort*atin|| 
chameter. Mr. King^s aildress wiih highly appropriate, 
and was iiiteiTiiptcd with rejH'aled phiniliis. .M'trr the 
exercis(.'s, a procession was lomird, and cM'orteil by the 
Danvers light infantiy to the ir'^ssex Cotree llouhe, where 
about two hundred, Inelnding ii nunilMT of revolutionary

Frimi* and felto'e citizen*: 

On the cv«'r uifui'ir.ihlK 19ih djy of April, 177j, now siity 
yrarft p.int, it waai my furtunt to meet in tliirt plscr with nuin- 
bprs of my fellow ciirsrn<*, to drfcnd the riililit and liberties of 
my country. The alarm of war was soundfd. The enemy 
was thf n amnniit n^i. The tit*l blood of Americans was Ihfn 
shed. On the plains of L*'iini{ton the roar of arms was Uien 
soandine— <hfF strife of war wus then racing. 

On that murniiii:, mor«! tliftn one hundred of my townsmen 
hastened |o the fii-ld of batili*,— unu«ed lo the artiflrcs of war 
— un«klllFd in the arts or«layiiic their THIow in*-n— their hrarli 
were flowing with zeal in their conntry'ii ciiu>e, and ready to 
offer their lives on the altar of their liberties, ^eren of those 
who thu4 ntnrted in the prime of life, and vigor of inanhnoil, 
ere that d:iy*'i sun de^cend»-d in the winit, were numbered with 
the dead. Many oUiers have m.iiksof the well directed Hre 
of the enemy. 

To perpetunie the niemnrv of lho«e who llien offered their 
live* for iheir country N good; lo perpetuite the prineiples w ith 
which tlit'y wore ariu iti'd, it the pur|KWc of thn d.ty^s roeeliiK 
— is thi! piirpo^i* Iff ihn monnmeiii, the fonnd:ition of wliich 
lias now been laid. M<iy iliii« t>ni|Miiie he atluiiied— may these 
prineiples be remi'iiilH-ri'tl, niul nude \\w rnle of actiun, in all 
coming time— and may the iiumert whirh are here reeordi'd 
endure until the granite of our own hills shall be crumbled in 
the dust. 

I wn4 then twenty nix yeatii of age. About 10 days before, 
I had bi'en clhHien to nimiiiiuid a coinpiiny of minute men, 
who were at all time* to he in reuiltiii*4fi m a momeiiiV warn* 
inc. They were so leaily. They nil a«*i'iiihled, on the i*ery 
not where we ihirt day a^i'emliled— they all went; and in aboiil 
four houiM from the time of ineelina. Hiey iravrlled on font 
(full half the way U|M>n the run) Ktxteen fflf/n, and HHhiled Ihn 

enemy. Thi:t ilipy did mo-i rfleetiiallv. a« tlie r »rd< ol that 

day most cirarly prove. I di><'liargrd my mu-ket si the enemy 
a nninlM-r of linns (I iliink eleven), wilh two balU raeli lime, 
and with will direili d aim. Mv ecimrade 'Mr. « 'leave-, of lie- 
verly) who was then ^taiiilini hv niv »ide, had his finger and 
ramrod cut away by a ^Imt frum tin- enemy. 

Whether inv shot look elfeei, I cannot say; but thii I rnn 
say, if they did not, il wus not for want of determined pnrpi>«e 
in him who siiit Iheiii. (if Ihntt under my iiumeifiiife vumtnanA 
there la no one left ulire. Three of them were •lain on Ihut day 
—I ahine remain lo tell their story. I, a loiiering old man, 
llironch the fondness of Cod, am ntlll pi-rmitled lo be here. | 
am permitted to «ee iIiih day's aicendmg sun, and to wilne»s

happient dayii,and nm-l pU-a-Ing events of^my life. A few days 
more at miml, and pi'rhap* very lew, and I alno »hall he nuui- 
beffd wilh the dead.

From the Philmkllthia Gazette. 
A correipondent has requested us to givu an fli'count nt 
the South sen bubble, or ifie TuUp in»nia of llolhmd, ns 
A vorlof warning; lo llit iniaulious dualers in stocks. We 
can mention % cjist: miieh nearer home, ifrliich in its ilMy 
m«d« n g»^at noiie. When ll»e old bafik of the L^nitefJ 
Sttlet Wii cbiirteretl in ITUI, there wa* a greal jdeuly of 
tQorieyt o'**og to the revolntions in France and %l. IJK>- 
iDiiiiio, which Dccaiiooed n cofitiderable tninsfer of eu- 
pitAlto ihc UnitL-fl States. After the itib«cription to the 
stock had been conn|deleil, n aneeulattve fever *eized 
Upon our lobtT commnnity. A iliiiru of stock wan $-Uk\ 
•nd to wild wm (he phrenxy of the i>nbhe to gel bnld of 
it, Ihat the scrip for the first inHlulment officii, w;ii actu- 
ally loM, ai wc baTC been informed by one who would 
be'likeir to know, as hi^h at %3*ik\ being elrvm hundred 
and eighty ptr cent, advunce npoti the sum pairl. A re- 
action, ItowcTcr, not long after tuuk place, and iremen- 
doui mill was the consequence, as an ex.ample of whieb, 
the following was related to us mutiy years ago, by a 
gentleman who wai in butitteu at that period. 

Whilst the fever was at its bei^j^fit, nnd milieu all who 
were under its influence could »ee nothing but jjo|i| hi 
their dreams, some one more knowing thuu U\s neigli- 
bort who ha<l been offered a high price for hi'i scrip &« 
fjfT9<fi WAS so timid as to ask for anendnratjr. Tlie party 
thus un I land torn el y treatiMl, who thonirbt tliiit the ivvt\i 
was jsRt as certainly worth 3'2i) dollars as a loaf of bread 
was worth tix cents, related tliiv tmreavouuble dem;itid to 
a board of aiK^eulators to which he lielnngeil, when they 
all burst out in a roar of laughter at lite simplicity of a 
min wbo could think that the scrip wusnotgowl aecuriiy 
for tu market price, liy way of cracking a joke ifpon< 
this tiinoroos mortal, it was proposed by one of (be com- 
Min|r ihat hit demand sitonid be complied with, and 
Ihat he should be fairly Btirfeited with endorsements. 
A note was accord i ugly drawn up, nnd signed by ihr 
member of ibe board who wished to ptirclmiic, and en- 
doried bj afi the rett:, oniking a string on the back of the 
note whieh hardly left room for an aeknnwledgment of 
pay men I at the bottom. In trnth, however, there was no 
need of such room. Before the note became due, the 
whole ]Mirtv had occasion (o laugh on the other side of 
their Qioutfia,^ and not a soul wa^ left to pay the note. 
From the J<t(rw York J-^r'trning- Poitt, 
Wc believe that the corammiity, intotitiatcd with the 
favot^ of the banks, an with the cup of a modern Circe, 
have loit sight of prudence, and nre blindly rus^liin^ into 
a ilate of thing!i froni which they will not be easdy re- 
trieved* A cnsiiw is approach in;;;, ami id r»eiir sit band, 
to which the painiic and preaHUre of last year wilt hi' 
trifling in comparison. I'll ere is a larger tuio of mo- 
fiey, or rather a larger anmount nf credit^ loaned out in 
thfs commniiify at. the ptx'si'iit time, ihnn there ever was 
before. NotwilbstMuding ibis extrant dinary iiiflfltion fjf 
the currency, the banks continue to discount even' rtoTe 
which bears the (irmblance of responsibility, and, »i lb*' 
Jotirnal of Commerce observes, **cKerv thing is dear but 
money." • • • • • • 

Tbit dittreia can be but thnrl lived, but it may be 
▼ery tevere^ and it ii itnpoNgiye lo tell what ntuUly 
vessels, now floating gallHUtly on the sea of credit, inoy 
not be ilranded by the hurricane. The bttsinen of thi* 
tiu^tropolit it terribly ei:|JAnded. Speculation has run 



wild arooflg ui. Many weal «Apitft1iit« We aohi

men who r:ii»fd «Ik* piirchitie luoney on n <»

will come on, while many of these summer »il*tniur- 
Lr&, who Imve watbd t>eyo»td their depth, aiT exposed 
to it* wrath. And not on tucli alone, but on boucM 
enkqirise; on all who h^ive trusted the fitklc waves «f 
bank credit^ will it sj»end ilt t\ir\\ and fortunate Will lie 
be who shall ckcape bhipwieck and destruction.

when it was discovererl that mriuy of the hiit*dftomcst «r-

Upertjry sofa aad clmir covers were cut with knives in 
CirfT7 direction — highly varTiished 3*nd carefully finished

once evident, that this outrageous deitruction of pi ivate 
{property wat deliberate ami ^iteioatic^ Inveatigatiou 



r^^The preceding dettiits are abominable, and we 
hope tliBd (he person* arrested, if gulltyt may be signallj _ 
and M^vercly punishifd. fl 

The chief part engaged in this biistness, no doubt, are^ 
"f/(f«'rt with the tariff men^^ — ihe '■'frimtlM of frfe tratte;** 
per&ons who hate all **MO!sopoLits" — except ihfir tyu^nf 

We have labored to induce the people lo seek the en^ 
cfiurn^rrnrnf of their iiidniMy — lo have it earcited; in a 
full Ijelief tliwt the domcrBlic competition wonid, after a

compi-omisc^" and, in their nianufactnre, tjw? cir<f aerwre. 
The Frencli fnmitnrt*, if sold wiihnnl a loss, must have 
sold for lhe/n»A/on of it li is hem ficini to man«ifactur^

Mf. iychder repHietl that ihe committer had no intlmnthm of

■file frniind on which they deiired ihe approp-iiaTlon to remn^rt

alanee where the prealdeni had thong hi it lo be hit duty to keep 
hi4 purpoie ao profoundly secret that it had not encafMid to a

convened the S7iIk The goternor, pro tempore, ui liia 
sprecli at the o^tening of the acMsiou, said: 

It afTords me much gratification to be able to Ktate, thai 
the great measure of granting nnqiialified eniancipatioti 
to the slaves, which eng^getl the attention of ihe legfsla* 
tore during its lust session, baa been followed by no In- 
terruption of the iiublic ti'aniT^udlity. Since the abolition 
of slavery, there has been no perceptible increase either 
of crime or vagrancy in this community, ami I confideiil- 
ly hope that the liberal course, so uniuiimously adopted 
by the legislature of Bermuda, will tend to the general 
prosperity of tlie colony. 

The work of deepening the channtd and improving tlio

The Baltimore and Port Depoaite rail road will be im-

The enginecra were appointed on the 1^2(h inst. and 
are already on duly. Some 15 or 20 miles of the road were 
located a considerable time ago^ and the work upon it will 
commence in ten days! The part of the line between 
Port Depoaile and Wilmington is goiiig on handsomely 
— and that between Wilmington B4id Pbiladelpliia is be-

The inti'rru|itioii of a ImwIlsi mob from Michigan ha«

has very pi-operly decided to eoiiTene ihe legislature aa

the peace of the citizens of Ohio, and to sustain thecoma 
mi»sioneri In completing the survey. 

Mr. FJttcher^ is still in custoily at Tecumseh. All 
the rest gave bail and were released. Mr. Fleliber re- 
fuses to give bail, or plead in the case. His keepers, 
it is suggested, are already tired of his obstinacy and do 
i^ut know exaetly what to do wiih him. Our .Michigan

did not knuw to whom ihe feotleman fiom l^oiith Carolina (Mr. 
PreUim} alluded in the llrKt part of hftt reOinrkA; cerlninly It 
could not lo' to him, (Mr. fi). Whether the Aenaiop hud, ttnce 
ihe year 1831, "eeo any new tixbiit himaclf, he fikd not know* 
But for hirn*eir,*ince ihe ve«iiioii of la^;}'^^ he (Mr, Huekanitn) 
had been uniformity conaictent, in veavon, and almost out of

[Here Mr. Pretton made a remark In an under tone, the pur-

thinf^i, be cnnfetmsed he saw no better mode of ki:! r 

congress to adopt Uian to follow up the course Indicau-d ui tli« 
bill of IabI yenrr 

He nnderitiood that the prf'teui bill had iissumed two di 
liuct objects. The one was to make n road beyond II 
river,, to lead to the MiSHiiuippi, or iiidefuiiicly waat 

porpo»e in the preiionl bill did not seeiii to hiiu to te 

apprapriMtu, The other objbcit Mud tlnit ihu luam une^ wae^lio 
approprJiHte $^35b,UiiO for tbti repair c»ftliai part of the road which 
tny on this side of the >ulii4'»; and the objct't of that repair wn* 
KAid 10 be to pTace lh«; road in suoii a cundiiion ns th<ii th» 
piibllic auihnriiiea of those states inlerevted in n would ac- 
ce[ii the same a* beloticmg to iheni«elves, and come tinder ihit 
contract to keep it in repair. Now, he supi>n-«.ed that everf 
bfldy who agri-'*?di Of iJtssj^med in rexpect to ihc orit<ioAl p«dir/ 
of llie grivernmeni in making thai road, would ndiuit, although 
it hnd been con«itructad at a great ejpvnse, th«i it was prudent 
nnd pri^per ilini the government ahouy be charjjed witti U«« 
duly of pie*iervina the road. He agreed with the pohcy ndupie^ 
by ctinvrewf^t ^»)t »l*ft with the lenliments evpriMsed by ili« 
ivnnlor imm Fr^nnxylvanla,, ucar him, (Mr^ jBiiic^anan)^ in thalf 
re«pect„ and es^i-pcially m this, tl>at it was ihtt true course |nr 
congres* to pursue, lo put the road in the most eoaipieio r«. 
palr« and then transfer it to Ihu respective states in which it 
lies. Arrangements had been entered into between the go- 
vernment find the stales re^ipeetively. What were tlieyf Thejf 
wernflhatif the gowintneni of the United States woald p4it 
ihe road in repair, the atates would lake It and stipulate to 
keep it in that c^HTdJtinn, and thai was for the a*e of ail Ihe 
cili^tens of the irnited f^taies. And he underslood It as a part 
of the siipulniion between the governinenl and the *taica,(ilie 
igejideuian would correct him If tio was wrong), that Uiejr 
should exfiend every cent that juight be received at the various 
loll fatea upon it. 

Now^that rond was no gift to those alales, in parliciilart i 
they derived no more benefit than if he^ (Mr. VV.) trmrellc4^ 
weei, and hU friend from Penitsylvanln, (Mr. BucKmtaiki 
veiled vasU They nndertook lo coliect itie teveas* Of^ 
roady and to Jipply jt to ibe purpose of repalriof ll^ Bi 
mii^laee how very inconvenient \l was for confreav lo 
aucba road. Ue understood that there had been H 
wasleful eilravafBhcOf in con-sequence of havinf 
rodd to be from year to year oiti of repair. If, however, It 
been in ihe po»sestinn nf the local authorities of tlie reapeetivs 
stntes, they Wfoild hnve been enabled at a small expense, Ki 
have kept the ro.id in repair. At the toft aenion, it would b* 
recollected, that the cstimnte of the engineer department, ra- 
iative lo this road, wa4 |aj j before the senate. ^jf&QQfOOO mmm 
ntated a« the sum rrr|ui«itpj to put it in a stale of eoiniitafo tc- 
pair. The aenaie ihouj^ht then that 11 would be |i(4^iotia KB

Tile bouse, however, ihouglit dlffeicntly, and app»D-> 
printed only #ClOO,OiiO. No one fupposed tliat tbat was aniMtgli 
to put the road in a state of repair. No one contended libit 
the »uin was tufncieni to carry Into ajTeei the plan ot con- 
ploiion proposed by the officers of the govemnteni. 

Thi« bill then, aw he nndrrittodd II, was lo appropiriAte that 
portion of tlieoritiiml «iurn, which hnd been -triken from Ihe hOI 
of lart sessitm, to the completion of this road. He trusted that 
this wontd be granted; il waj iho p4rt o| prudence lo acee«d ti*

The SI St of March, the anniversaiy of the rttiim of 
Napoleon from Elba, was celebrated by the surviving 
oAeera of the ex-imperial guard, now at Paris. U 
brought to mind many mournful proud reminiscences of 
the glories of the empire, and among the toasts, was 
that of tlieir immortal captain. 

A foreign journal gives the following aceount of the fu- 
neral eeremonies of the late emperor of Austria. I'liif 
proeetsion stopped in front of the Capucliin church, and 
raanj noblemen and ladies of the church, who waited 
there, eameout to receive the corpse. When they were 
about to enter the Capuchin convent, for the purpose of 
depositing the coffin, they knocked at the door of the edl- 
fioe: "Who knocks'" cried a voice from within. **The 
emperor Francis I." **What does he ask^" tlie same 
voice repeated. «* A place of repose. " The gate was then 
0|iened, and a part of the procession entered the convent. 
1 lie new emperor liad, contrary to the usual custom, foU 
lowed them: when he was about to enter the cemetery, 
the prince of Colloredo advanced and said to him: **l 
take thu lil>erty of assuring your majesty that you cannot 
enter: it is entirely contrary to immemorial usage.'' 
The emperor extended his arm and pushing llic prince- 
aside, aaid, **I shall be guided, sir, solely by my own 
pleasure.'* He then entered the cemetery where the 
Dody was deposited, in the idace prepared many year!! 
ago for its reception. The place for the interment of the- 
■ew emperor is already designated. 



Steamer. The Buffalo Whig takes exception to thU 
vile plu^se, as applied to steamboats, and exjiresses a 
warm aikd earnest wish that our leading American new>i- 
papers would repudiate it — a sentiment in which we 
heartily concur. 

We have often entered our protest against the use fi( 
the Coch-tiei^h word, "Steamer." Surely, ipe muv nani*. 
a thing that wc brought to perfection! 'it is indrfinih 
aiMl foolivh; and belongs just ns well to a tin kettle for 
boiling potatoes, as a boat inovv-4 l)y steam power. 

The Beaton Trarucri'lft s:*ys— 

Tlie Jmin tree, which grfw on the eiitiite of the l.ileGArdinrr

The Cincinnati Whig states that Jumes H. Caldwell, 
esc). manager of tlie Aiiierican theatre in New Orleans, 
lias obtained from the legislature of Louisiana a charter 
of a bank with a capital of $r)00,CXX), of which he is to be 
president; that he has sold out his extensive gas works, 
Hiid his gas charter, for $120,(KK), and five hundred shares 
of tlie stock, worth a hundred dollars per share; and that 
lie is about building a new and magnificent theatre in 
Xew Orleans, to be completed in the course of the en- 
duing winter. He is also owner of a new theatre in Cin- 
cinnati, and of a theatre in Nashville, Tennessee. Ra- 
ther a driving business! 

In the late debate in the English parliament, lord Stan- 
!ey''» e(|uivocal position was ingeniously illustrated by a 
member, in this manner: 

<'Mr. Konayne, drawing a parallel between the position now 
Dcciipied by lord Stanley in the honM of coiiimnni*, and thai 
held by the noble lord'« anoe«uir at Rofworih field, leleired to 
the following extract from Hume: *The lord Stanley of ihat day 
failed a powerful body of hiti friends and retainers in Clie*hiro 
jind Lancathire,* the historian does not unite (naid ihe honora- 
ble member) whether he had any Cumberland men in hi» train 
—(great cheering)— *bui wilhoni openly declaring hiinvelf, and 
though Henry had received secret axvurances of hi9 friendly in- 
tention, the armies on both i<idr« knew ni»t what to infer from 
hiN equivocal behaviour. (CSreat cheering.) The two rivnlii at 
last approached each other at Bo<cworth, near Leicester. Hen- 
ry with an army of about six thoui»and men, Richard with an 
army of double the number, ami a decit'ive action waa every 
moment expected. Lord Stanley, who commanded above fo- 
v«n ihouMand men,' (a much more formidulile tail, obiterved the 
honorable member, amid much Iau'.:hter, than that whirli hia 
dcKcendant wields at the preKent day; one winch could not be 
contained in an omnibus, much lest* in the Derby dilly), *to«ik 
care to |>oiit liim?<i-lf iit Ailierf-ione, not far from the hostile 
campH, and he made fiich n iii«po-iti(ut Jk» enabled linn, on oCr 
uasion, to join either party.' (Checrv and laughter)."

For several ypar* previous to the completion of iha Erie 
eanal, the New York Time* states that tiie uxable value of 
real «^tate in thi* city wa* «taiinaary, at an average of almoet 
9.'iS,000.000. '^The moment the water* of the lakes touched 
those of the orran it received a new impulse." Itnowex-

The value of pr(»p4'rty along ilie dintrirt of country through

resion rich in ail kind* of capabiiiiie* that will be immediately 
developed by the construction of this road. 

A great scheme of internal improvement ha* been pro|eeie4 
at Lxuiitiana, and promise* *ncces*fui completion. The legia- 
Intnre of that *iate have chartered a eompany, attaching to tt 
hanking privilege*, under the tiile of "The Atchafaylaya rail 
road and banking company," obliging it to construct a rail road, 
from some convenient point on the Mi**i**ippi river to the rich 
diMritt* of Ope Ion 14*, Lafayette, Bt. Martin'* and 8t. MaryV, 
and thereby to »reure a trade to New Orlean* in the pmdueis 
of that opulent *ertinn of country. The capital of thi* compaay 
con-i«t* of:^2,000,U00^ with p«twer to increase it to$4.000/W0,

Three rteamboats, thirty two schooner* and one brig left

says the Fiitsbmeh Gaaette, our cross cut had been completed, 
the whole amount of thi* freight might have bm a delivered at 
Detroii, and even at Chicnco, before It did leave Buffalo. 

Every day furnishes additional evidence that the MahoaIng

The legirlature of Peniii'yivania passed a law at It* late aea- 
ston ixtrndiiig the charter of the Mechanics' bank In Philadel- 
phia for iweniy years, and authorising an iacreare of Its capital 
of 9700.000. Attached to thi* if a demand for a bonus of 
9100,000. to he autiscribi'd by the bank to the stock of the ea- 
nal Iroin Ohio into Fenniylvanin, by the Mahoning route. We 
understand that it i* further provided, that thia stock ol 100,000 
dollars shall in Jteven year* revert to the statt*; hnt *liould any 
circuin*lanee prevent the maklns of the canal, then the bank 
sli.ill, in lb4l and '43, pay into the st.ite treasury the bonua of 
911)0,000. The bill fives to the city an additional banking ca- 
pital, and aid* at the same time a great prajf*ct of Internal !■- 
provemenl. highly iro|iortaut to the stale at large, and to the 
city In partiealar. 

The cashier of the bank of Virginia has given notice that the 
president and director* ofthat bank will receive proposal* until

seven and a half per centum on the par value of tlie slock, 
will be accepted " 

The addititional stock waa autlinri!«ed by Ibe legl*latnre, to 
meet the subscription on the part of the bank to the atock of 
James River and Kanawha company. 

Five per cent, atock of the city of Boston, payable in twenty 
years, wa* soM there by auction a few daya ago at Ik premium. 
The money thus inveated, will pniduce for the whole teim, a 
little over four and a quarter per cent, interest per annum.

iofi of ihia convention ahould not unly be cuiidiioted with di li-

people, in tlieir primary eoHegea — a rf ^iilt, deeply to be drpra-

4«r aucb cireum''taueea, we nuat all be sensible, that the 
aaiQii of oar /rlrnda, ami an elaclion by tlie peo|4e. can only 
he aecnred by harmony, and concert, and by •• adherence to 
the good old uaagea of our repoMican father*.

coogrcaa and the nation, by our venerable pramdeni, lisivins 
fliUed, tiM* democracy of the union have been Ihrced lo Imik to

which pradence reeoaimend*, preced<:nt nauctioo!* and expori-

■ontioieni* and o|Hninn«i, and present to the pcoplf two of our 
Mlow cittsens for these high execniive ottii'eii. To do tlii^ 
with eflrct, and aecnre the tiinniph of our prineiplei*, we must 
•void every liiiag like sectional fpelinuH and Ji'niuu^ire, and be 
willinf to aaeriflce all perMinal pn-diliTtnMi'i and prt'irnmceit. 
We maat CBdeavorlo reconi'iltf, milirr than male p.irii.tliiieH. 
Whatever auiy he our individnul wiflifii m r*e)ud to the

«y all rnunt know that it in lnlp^^slbln to drtrrininn ilie ba-

It would be the heislii of vii<i(inHiy Hpcnilution lo nt 
, t to estimate tlie streneth of thin, or ihal Keoiion h* being 
•Upecior to any one of the remninder eighteeu nioiilli* In ncf. 

Laeal views, in state p«ditici>, inny yet be diinsi'roiH, bni 
Ikav heeome highly so whi'n extended tu the niition at large, 
aai oa a subject oribis character. 

Tfeere was a time, genilpuit-n, fresh in the recollection of nil, 
Wkea they brought us to the very verei- of a dnncernus rnllii(ion, 
aadan a questioa too, much leM calculHted lo enlist Plate \tre 
Jadleee than Uiia! The lesmm we reeiived cannot so ciMdi lie 
fofffntim. It ahould eontinnc n long time as a p<ditieal ht.aoim, 
indiaailug on what occasions and to what eiieni our union 
aay ha pat in Jeop.-irdy. Whnrvver, therefore, U bt'coines ne 
caamy for numbers to co-opemie, mdividaala ouclit not, and 
aaaaolaspoci to enforce their own viewf, but must unite wiili 
oihera at that poiat, which most nearly approaches the wishes 
of all. 

Imagine for a moment (by way of illnstration) that on an 
emergmcy, the gallant crew of a vessel, nhould diimgree nlmut 
the course to he tafcen^wbat, gentlemen, would you think of 
the sagacity and prudence of ihnt individual, who would pm- 
poee the eipedient of cutting up the noble ship, that each man 
■light seise bis own plank, and steer for hiaisell!— I leave the 
application to you!— Democracy in our country, gentlemen, 
cannot cxiat and be efft-ciuat, without mutual concession and 
cnaipromise; aud if union is ewsentinl to safety. It must often 
be preeervrd at the ex|iense of some sacrifices!— On this subject 
ao argouient can be drawn, or means employed in reffrence 
BiorHy to tlie locality of the individuals! I'he stations are to he 
ftMed, and they who fill them, should know that their elevation 
baa not been caused by their bring in this, or that si'Ction of the 
•nioB, or llieir having been horn near the spot where the flr^t 
lavnlHtionary blood wai s|»ilt, nor obstructed in cnm^equf nee 
■Mfcly of tlielr resMenee lieing on Ihe watrra of thr far west! 
Wmt otherwiKe.— Let the tnqniry be, who ia he that will roiii. 
blaetiM ireatest republican itrenKth, in relation to ilie nation, 
and boat preserve Ihe unity of the democratic |iariy? Who is he 
that bcnl understands the principles and nature of our eovrrn- 
■ent, and will administer it In the true spirit of the coiiHtitu- 
tloa? Who will carry nut the principles of the Ji-ffenionian em, 
aad geaeral Jaefcaou^s administratinu; an administrntion which 
feaa doaa ao maeh to advance the pmniierity and happiness of 
y, and place it oa Uie noble eoilneuec on wMcli It 



now stands! 6uch men, the candidates of no acction, but tlie 
candidates of tlie people, ought to be supported. 

(ienilrint.n, to Kiicct-eil wv niustcronlinun to be united and vi- 
gilant—for It i» only by prr|H:iual viciltince that libt* rty ia to be 
preserved. The |MMiple are an y»:t viitorions, and the democra- 
tic spirit like the gennifl of lilit>rty iv pervading the land; but the 
enemy Im still in the Ht'ld and prepared lor battle, if his motto 
be tn divide and conquer, Irt our'» be union and safely. 

Thif. is the spirit and teinptr in which we should act, and 
these the ciin»iiderations that siigsest themnelves to my mind. 
I throw them out for your consiilerntion, you will give ili«-m tlie 
weight tliey merit. Let me, in coneluMon, again remind yoa 
that the auhject is one, not only highly important, but dear to 
the people, and tliai it is our solemn duty to take care ilial in 
our hands it receives no injury. I ardently pray, gentlemenr 
that our deliberations niny be harinoniouHly cnnduiMed,and that 
the result of our lnbnr!« uiny promote the union, prosfierity and 
happiness of our beloved ctMinlry. 

The address wa:< loudly and frennently applaude«l by the as- 
senibly, evincing npnn the p<irt ol the nieinliers great unanimity 
of feeling, and a cordial approbation of the sentiments express- 
ed. 

After Mr. Stevenson look his sent, prayers were offered np 
in behalf of the convention, in a lei vent, li-eling manner, by the 
rer. Mr. Clarke, of thia city, al the request of the coiuinitleo of

ft will be seen that we have included in fhls fable the two 
members to he elected from Mississippi and Tennwseo. We 
have done so. hscnn«e their political character can be predii t- 
ed alino»t to a certainty. With these exceptions the senate la 
full. 

We have clashed Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana, and Mr. Man- 
gum, of North Carolina, with the whigs, though their piditieal 
character, parlienlariy that of Mr. Hendricks, has beep tn dis- 
pute ever since their election. Mr. Moore we have clafSi d 
with the Jackton men, because in his printed address to ih« 
lieonle of Alabama, he expressly deelarep himself to be so. 

We make, then, with the easting vote of Ihe vice pretfldcnl, 
(and poMsilily witlnMit) a hare majority of Jackson men in the 
senate; and will prolmblv he inerenHed by Ihe ln*>trneilons that

la sliore. Vessels not drawing over 1*2 feet, inny lie within a 
taarter of a mile of the cove beach. I am of iipini<m that in- 
Mstry in the caitivation of the roil, and in mechanic |Nir5uii!«, 
wMI afford greater resalu than iiadins, and lead to greater 
yaaaperity. If emigrants go well provided with clothes, and 
■ra well hottsed, the rainy seation i« fully Uf deoimble for arriv-

■agalfteeBt river, penetralini far into the interior, and if the 
■oeiety shall supply their factory well, will command an ex- 
•aaaive and proAubie trade In camwoml, ivory, rice, palm oil, 
Im. The back country is said to be very productive, and the 
Ulh vUible from the rout, are inter8per«ed with lawns. At 
■WroClB 10 30 miles inland, roountainn appear. 

The atories about the slave trade being carried on at the old 
catiNijr are otierly false: very few are intemperate, and trade in 
spiriu has very much le^iened, owing to the eflforis of the *n- 
dcty, and the influence of temperance socictiett, and no fales 
pennltted less than a gallon. Some few are dixcontented, lint 
llMae are the worthless and idle. The indnxtrious are well 
pleaaed with the country, and such only should go. Such peo- 
ple cannot be induced to leave Africa. The tales of tlrown, 
Teeiple, and others, who have learned little or nothins of the

§ I. It shall be the duty of me agent of ear h of the slate prisons 
in lUis »tale, under llie direction of the innpisctors thereof, to erect 
on llie grounds beioncuig to such prison, and near to or adjoin- 
ini the name, prii*cm buildings for itie female convicts of such 
prison dimiict. The said prison buildings vliall be commenced 
and completed in whole or in part, as soon as the respective 
b<iards of inspectors shall deem expedient; and the expense of 
such erections shall be defrayed oui of the surplus funds of the 
said prirona rei>peciively. 

^ '2. The cuiil buildings so to be constructed, shall contain nn| 
leiis tliau lorty separate cells each, (and be so laid out that the 
number may hereafter be increased), up<m the plan of tlie ex- 
isting slate pi ison^*; but with such variations an may be deemed 
useful and necessary, iu reference to the emphiyment, disci- 
pline, health and rtrformation of the convicts, and in regard to 
the most economical mode of erecting the buildings. The in- 
fpeciors may also direct apartmenu therein for a roniron and 
as»i>lanls, if required, with other necessary iippurienances,and 
caii''e the whole lo be enclosed with a suitable yard by sulfi- 
cifnt w.'ills. 

^ 3. Whenever the said prison buildings shall be in readiness 
fi>r the ruception of Ihc female coiivict<i confined in the said 
respective state prison districts, ii shall be the duty of the 
aeent of eacii priiion, under the direction of the innpecinre 
llifreof, to caute the said fi'inule crmvicts to be removed to 
and be conliiied in such new prisoiH. All female convicts 
sentenced ilM-reufter to confinement in a state prit^on in the 
first, second and third senate dirlricts of this slate, shall be 
confined at Mount riea«ant prison; and all such convicts so 
Reutenccd in the fourth, fiiih, i<!iih,4evcnih and eighth senate 
districts thereof, shall be cnntined at the Auburn pri^m. 

^ 4. li shall be the duly of the inspectors of each of the said 
priHons, to employ a suitable matron, (and nssisianis if re- 
quired), to sufNirviiie and have charge of the female convicts; 
and to prescribe ruh'M and regulations for their government and

FREE AND SLAVE LABOR. 

Col. Flinter. in his account of the. island of Puertn Rico, a 
Bpaniah Inland, says: **lt is an e]itablir<hed Aict iM'yond the pon- 
■iMIity of conicodiction, th»t every de«cripiion of West India 
produce can be rai^r.d by free l:ibor In the colonies; and that the 
white and free colored population may by proper diiicipline and 
regulation be brousht to work as day laborers. The cnltiva 
linn of Iropical produce will become in time cheaper, and more 
Mivantaieoiis, and it is certainly more humane, by free labor 
than by slaves. I have tried the exfieriment in a coffi*e e«tale 
of my own; I have al«o nnrn it repeatedly tried on indifo plan- 
tations, the most unhealthy, as well as laborious, class of iropi- 
eal atrlculiure— and I have always found that the cultivation 
koth of coffee and indigo, wan cheaper by employing/ree labor- 
era than by slaves. A free labonir will work iu the field from 
aenrise to sunset, and on a moderate calculation will perform 
■ore work daring that time ihun two slaves. One of the piin- 
dpel advantages which result to the planter from free labor is, 
that he sinks no capital, as he must do if he purchases slaves; 
■or does he incur the loss of it in case his laborers should die; 
or sustain the expense of curing them during sickness, or main- 
taining tli^ni in the decrepitude of old age. 

'* A proof of thi<i is that all the large emablishmenls on the south 
coaat of the island, which are worked exclu«ively by slaves, 
having nn|Misture land«. and fuinishing no other produce, are 
Involved In debt and difflniliies; while ihoae nn the n(irlhcoa«t| 
where there is a mixturo of free lal»or,unlei»i in particular cases 
where there has been great nii«manaxemeiit, are free from 
debL** The great increase of produriiAu appears attributable 
m tka introduction mainly of free lalmr. In 1810, the exports 
MMnnlffd only to 65^7^ dollara. In 1833, they exceeded three

^ 'i. The dimen«>ions to which the canal and lucks shall be 
cnlarced ^hall he determined by the canal hoard. 

§ 3. In passing ciiii-s or villages and at other places, an inde- 
pendent canal may be c<m«itructed Instead of enlarging the pre- 
sent works. If the canul board shall decide that the public In-

fhould much regret this, and were in great hopes that 
the Aiiccesa of our manufactures, (leaacning the demand 
for llritii^hgondt), would have regulated the exchange 
and kept it al pnr: but, lis a very lai^e qunnlily oi' mnnelf

gold and silver, it it probable that some of il la going

1 he currency, frnin various causes, has been immodc-

Now, while ihe sum of the w/io/eloatis for the four last 
jenra gives an average of d'i [uillimts,, Ihut nn ihe 1st 
April, 1835, is only GO milliona, and the nniomit of it* 
**liill*'* is larger 'than in any preceiling year; hut it« 
**lo«ni, 7' proper, *r> million* less? Surely, thisdoet not 
shew H disposition in <] ' ^ nt the currency, 

thongh il inighl have < 16^ inillions in 

specie on liMud, a muth i ,: iimni lever pos- 

•estu'd before; and more Lban llicru is in all the atate 
bBnk^ perl taps! 

It is not Irne lliat the t»ank hai extended its loan*. 
A dith&neit pi-actice pi-evails of comparing dijh^tl pe- 
riods together. Il is not honorable. The same montlj 
should stand again«t ihe same month, alway*. 

We are oidy anxious in this malter that the people 
should understand il. We have no notion thai the bank 
will he recliartered — and desire that it may, as we hope 
that il will, *'die easily," and naturally, if its eneroict 
will let it alone, and as it would appear tlwit it is its in- 
tereil lo do — ^haviug s^ large amount of debts receivable, 
and, the reader will observe, in the sliaiie of **biili/* 
which gives it a mighty command over its means, and 
places it in enviable c i re um stances. Ua "loans" arc 
only If* aboul the amount of its capitaj-^nd it ia proliii- 
ble* idso, that a large sum of that capital is in /fforu, and 
to virtually l«id oflT.

After ilie delegate from Virginia had aat ifown, (previoaa |#

thai ihry would noi support Mt. Johnson), a i4lmbrr (Vooi 
Kentucky took tl»« flocir^and war inly eitoUed Mr. Johnson}. 

After he had exhausted himself, anuilier von »f the *'o]d do-

been detivered was no dtjubt very cJoriuent, and embodied fully 
tbe principlaa of Mr« Johneonf but Vkfinia wai nut eontcni lo 
lake him for vice president, and woiiid not. 

A number of other penons addressed the meeting, and then, 
on motion, they took a recess until 6 o'clock, P. M. 

The following account of the evening acisioo ia frooi lb« 
American: 

Tbf* convention having met, n mniion was mada to adi iJba 
president of ihe conveniion to tlie cotDniitloc on the aobjeet of 
preparing an address to. itie people^ which was carried. 

Mr. SauTidrrv, of Nt^rth Carolina, made snme remaika de- 
signed to concili^ite tl^e feehiigs of the Virfmin diilegaiion, 
which induced a discustion hi which Mr. Li/ffr, of Ohio, Mr. 
Foufitiiin, of Virginia, and others look part. 

c;«n. Stiufuifrt »tiiti;d that he was instructed lo offer a retola- 
Uon lo ihn follnwing tlft/ct; ^*That tile severai slalet of tbe 
union be, nod tliey are re^prctfifrrr And earnestly requested, at 
proper ni>d convtrnient lu-nodM herealter, by delegated conven- 
tjon-f by the democracy, or in such oihur mode as they majf 
deem ex|>cd!tent, to form utecloral tickets throughout the coon- 
try, i^o liint the greatest pow^ihle eflect may be given to the qoi. 
minniinna mitdc by iht4 convention, and a retort to tJ»e tMniM 
of reprtaentatives thereby avoided.'* 

Mr. SleriVcTf , of Pa. moved to annend the reeoltitton hf add- 
ing at the end, ^'eicept auch stale r>r statea aa may have al- 
ready formed an f,^Jecioral ticket;" but the previous question 
being cxttled for, the r|ue«lion wa« ordered to be laken by states, 
and on the result h^'ing aecertained, It appeared that L'>4 elec- 
tnral votef were in favor of the resolution, nod 77 againal it. 
8ti the n-solutjon wr# pa«»ed. 

When the vote of Penn«ylvaniA war called for. one of Ibe ie- 
legaiion* voted for and the other against the resolution, Uak of 
which vntea were received. 

On motion, ii was resolved thai the president and vice preti- 
drtit« of this convention be a committee lo inform Martin Van 
Buren,anel Riefiard M. Johnson, of their rtispective nomiina- 
tioo^ hy Ibis body, and request their acceptance of Ihe eaoiei 
which wnf earned. 

Resolutioni of thanks were then voted to the Oaltimora eom- 
mittee for the acconimodaiions aJforded in the cunveatioa; to 
the trup tees of Ibe Finland Tnurth Presbyterian churches for 
the u«e of those buildmcs; and lo the rev. Mr. Ciark for tbe 
obljgiing manner in which he olHeiaicd at the opsnings oftb* 
ijieeiings. 

ElToru were nr^w mnde to call up the resolution relative Ilk 
the dissent of VJiginiA from ihe inominatinn for vice presideni, 
bill the convi^ntmn refuied lo fuwiaiu tlie cnltf 

Mr, Steri/ieTi! moved that tlie resolulioti ju#l adopied, relative

This Aews a general increase of $1,800,000 since the

■MbI aeeuritj." The **bills"are a million more. It is 
BB extraordinary state of tilings that the "bills" amount 
to three-fourths of the "loans on personal security." It 
gives the bank a mighty and a ftrompt command over its 
BMBBSt to meet an emergency. The specie is less in 
aboot two millions than in April — but is abundant. 

The New England Review of Salunlay says, the branch 
of the United States bank, in Hartford, commences wmd- 
lag ap its aoneems this day. The call for its notes for 
the perpose of remittance is unabated, and they have 
heea Btready sold at one per cent, premium.

Comols at London April 25, reached 92 7-8@93. A

Tlie rery low rate of interest on money is evidence of 
the eoofidenee that is felt in the plentifulness of means. 
<^qa Mlllioa of ddlan of the stock authorined to be f^nued lo

The news of the passage of the indemnity bill in the 
Preoeh chamber, was received in New Hwlford (Mass.) 
vith great enthusiasm, involving as it did the eonlinu-

every vote in the majority. All the powder in J^antuckmi 
was lired on the same occasion ! 

Speculations go on, in Jialtimore, at the east and west 
ends of the city. The following is the report of sales at 
Canton, (east end), made by auction on Saturday last, 
&c. 
194 lots situate on various streetn, were sold for f43,340 00 
1 wharf loi, 960 fcei on Bomon direct, eitending 
the same width 900 feet to the port wnrden's line, 
upon which the structure of a atone wharf bad 
been commenced, and the foundation* for 7 ware- 
iiouiics laid, was void lo II. H. JackKon, esq. of New 
York, conditioned that the wharf shall be complet- 
ed and the 7 warelioux*>s erected on or before ttae 
1st day of January, 1837, for ^IBfOOO 00 

Making the whole sale 9ffit,340 00 

The directors of the Canton company have agreed to extend 
Bodton street, in a direct line, to Fleet street. To All up and 
complete Allice Anna rtreet from Boston lo Washington street, 
and to pave all the principal streets west of Patterson's whar^ 
within two years. 

The avcrace sole of lots on Boston street, measuring 90 feet 
front and 60 feet deep, was .<$875 00. 

Back tif r of lotK, 90 to 95 feet front, and from 60 to 100 feet 
deep, sold from 3 to ^^jWi each. 

The avernfte price of lots at the above sale was over 195 per 
cent, above the sale made the I8ih of May, 1833. 

$1,000 per lot was ofTf red at private sale for lots on Boston 
street after the public sale wim closed, and refused. 

And large estates have been sold at the west end of 
the city — some of as much as 35 acres, to various per- 
sons — and, as in the east end, principally to ttranren. 
It is probable that these now hold more than one Htm' 
(Ired and fifty acres, laid out in huiltUn^ lots, within the 
limits of oiir ciiy, and many hundred without the limits 
—but adjoining the city. 

We are thankful tlius to find favor in the eyes of 
slranj^ers. Our own peonle seem to have been inseuii- 
ble of the blessings that they had in possession! 

The Baltimore American says — 

A lot of thirty-four acres, part of the McIIenrr estate, 
situated on West Baltimore street at the first mile stone, 
was purchased on Salunlav by a capitalist from a neigh- 
boring eastern city, for fifty- two thousand dollars. Al- 
though it is a much larger price than it would have eom- 
manded two years ago, it is neverthcleu a cheap pur- 
chase. 

The edifice known as the Baltimore Auemblv Roomg^ 
was sold at auction yesterday for ten thousand dollars to 
B. I. Cohen, esq. The piiblio will be gratified to learn 
that it is intended to retain the building for the purpose 
for which it was originally designed, and that it will 
undergo material repairs and improvements in order the 
better to adapt it to this object. 

The mill jn-operty of Messrs. S. and J. E. Carey was 
also sold at anction for the sum of $80,700. The pur- 
chaser was C. Keller, esq. 

The splendid ship Ann McKim arrived at Baltimore 
a day or two since, in tirtyfix^ days from Valparaiso. 
The famous schooner Yt-llotl, owned also by Mr, McKim, 
once made the vovagc in hixty-tuo. 

In a subsequent page will be found an awful account of 
an earthquake in Chili; and, says the Chronicle, we leara 
by an officer in the ship Ann NlcKim, arrived at this port 
on We«lnesd»y last from ValjMiraiso, that a few davs pre- 
vious to her sailing, an American vessel arrived there 
from the Island of Juan Fernandez, bringing information 
of an eaithqiuike having d«r.«troyecl the town on that island. 
The touti was situatrd in a vallo, and on the first alarm 
the iiilialiilants fled to the mountains. The sea at first 
receded from the island, and then returned, overflowed 
the town> aud in its return swept away the hotiacs whiah

The followring remarks upon the ''strike" of (he coal 
heavers, by the editor of the FhilBdel{>hia Gazette, lu-e 
eairemely just and appropriate: 

Tic %trike. The Hcliuylkill iroitt of this city hofl woni for se- 
varal day«i a finf^ular awpect. The hum nf bii»ine»fi is himhrd; 
the coal yard* are drtcritd and »hui; and every kind ni bii>inei<B 
i« eompi4-l*>ly at a stand. The coal heavers have d«-ierniined 
that li-n boors work |»<*i day Im as niiieli an comports with thi-ir 
cuiiifuriand di|!nity, and have (here lore ilrcriiud that no one 
shall work lon|!^r. Thf^y huve struck. To thid there wouUl he 
no Qbjectinn, if th<*y did not com|M-l otliers uIko to 6tiike. If 
Iht-y can alTord ro hve in idlcne», it is pHifrcily iiKht that they 
•Imuld leavK Uit'ir labor; hut thtty have no risht to coiiHiruin 
mhrrv to follow iheir example. About three hundred ol these 
asen have handed to prevent all buainMison thei^iliuylKill until 
thfir drmaiidi are enniplied with. Thty |iarud»d the streets 
cttuiinandi'd by a man with a drawn tfuord in lii-i hand, and 
have ihieaiened every man with death who darri* to lift a piece 
ofcnul. All latMtr in ru-'pendud. Kven the h.indj* in the canal 
bfwfs are not piMiuilled to unlade their own boat*. There are 
sevfHiy Ave vvki^H* in the livcr waitinc for fruicht«, hut the 
coal lieaverii ivtll not allow them lo be loaded. The hands in 
tlM vr.P'Mil* d.ire not aticinpt lo Uiad, kitt tht* ir vcf^uI« nhould be 
•TMllli-d. Home vt:»«els have leli the iiver without a fri:i{ihl. 
One man wIhi attempted to work w.is assailed by the laborers 
aiid bt*ale» mo^t cruflly. I(i3< he.id wasi laid open with a stone 
and be wa«> nthirwise ho injured thai his life wa< considered in 
dancer. TlHf mayor hax been out reveial tinu's to the scene of 
disiarbance,and ha« endeavored, but in vain, lo pernuadc them 
lo resume Iheir lalwr. We learn that the employeni, indignant 
m litis fiutrafeoas, illrfal and insolent conduct, have detormin- 
rd at once to nntate hand* eUewhere at an advanced price. 
Tlii* !• as it should be. If this allrmpt at coercion should pru\e 
Nosv Micen^Hfitl, there will be no bounds to their demands, no 
Hmils to their violfiice and insolence. It is supposed that the 
neamfcs adopted by the proprietors of the yardii will at unce 
i>«»lnre matters to their proper footing, and it is confldently ez- 
fMfcted that business will be vigorously recommenced to-day or 
t«i>ini>rrow. 

Il will ^ well for our authorities to station a sufficient force 
sm the spot to protect the well-diopo^ed laborers Iroin the vio- 
lence of the rmters, and to show them that in this country the 
lanr alone is supreme, and must be resptctcd and observed. 

It serms tliat these atrikcM are rapidly multiplying. The New 
York Daily Adverti!fer contains the following: 

Strikes are all the fashion. IMie stone cutters not only stand 
out for two dollars a day, which the employers are willine to 

Ky, bnt they an* determined lo reeulate piece work also. I'ub- 
: arntiment appears to be decided that the Journeymen are in 
the wrong. 

Nffit comes Ihe horse shoers, who are parading the streets 
with drum and life lor a htand out. Very few Americans are to 
be seen in their ranks. 

It is an excelli-ut time fur journey men stone cutters and horse 
I to come to the city from the country.

At a nccting of merchanU on the Schuylkill, at the Exchange,

JtMofecfl, That we plrdye onrselvrs not to employ laborers to 
work by the day, un the Schuylkill, unless they will agree to 
work from sunriKe lo ciin^et. with an allowance of one hour to 
biwak fast and one hour to dinner, until the \*t of June; and 
fron and after that date, one hour for breakfai^t nnd two hours 
fat dinner, until the 1st of 8epii-nilier; and that wu will not give 
execcdini nne dollar per d.iy fur Uburers. 

And ann adjourned niceiins. In Id this day, it was Airther 

Rnotced, That llie ofier made to the lalmrers on the Hchuyl- 
kill, by the resolution pasjted yesterday, of allowing them two 
hoora at dinner, from and ntti*r the \tl of June, is considered by 
the snoeting as Just and liberal; and that unless the terms oilVr- 
cd be accepted by the laborers, and they return to duly, at the 
respective yard)*, by to-morrow morning, then and in that cace, 
that all hands heretofore empl«»yed by us shall be discharged, 
and not aiain employed by either of us. 

ileM/vnl, That wc pledge ourselves, lo the utmost cxieni, to 
pmU'ct lUihie laborers in their per-ons and pniperiy from a--aiilt 
or violence, who do return to their work to-morrow morning, 
on ihe terms offered to them.

PhUadelphia, May ;27, lba5. 

Ol>>AH coiubinaliuns arc wrong — but if on Ihe one 
part, they mtifat be on the other. The leaders of tliese 
"strikes" arc chiefly fresh I v imported /brwg^icrt— who 
despise and defy tlie' law. 'i'hey must be taught better. 
A person may, or may not, work, just as he pleases— but 
cutmot be i>ermitled, by violence, to prevent others from 
working. That is taking rather too great a liberty- 
even ill this **free country!" 

The riiig-Ieadcrs had been arrestr d and held to bail, 
in 51)0 dollars each, 'i'hcrc nppears to have been a 
great deal of rioting, nnd no biiiall degree of excitement, 
i'lie uierchants were found every man at his post— and 
will succeed, if they they have not already. It is believ- 
ed thai the loss to the community is not less than $*2,00U 
per day, including the detention of a large fleet of vessels. 

The' C/tiited Statet Gazette says— Meetings were held 
yesterday by journeymen tradesmen — the carpenters in 
Independence Square, and the cordwainers at the Mili- 
tary 1 lull. The latter subseipiently marched through the 
streets to the sound of drum and fife. We understand 
that the object of the strike is to coerce the master work- 
men into their estimation of the number of working hoara 
which sliall be computed to a day — tliey say 10 hours. 

[Wc shniild like to know the number of those who are 
^^anti-tariff','-* or **fre€ tratle" men! To regulate time 
and piice is rather "tough," in tliosc opposed to all **mo- 
nopolici."] 

We notice the following advertisement in the Norfolk 
Herald of the 'i.Hh ult:— 

^' r^.t office t Old Point Comfort, 

"The postmaster seneral desires that public notice be given 
to the citizens of Old Point Comfort, of the expected vacancy 
in that post nificc, that they may have a voice in recouroend- 
iog a person fur appointment. [ May 25-^*> 

[Tliis it a "reform," that we shall be glad to sec car- 
ried out. The post-office should luive nothing to do 
with politics.]

There is grcnt demand for the consumption of madder 
iu manufiictiires. The X.ew York Cultivator recom- 
mends its culture to fanners. It is dug from the ground 
once in three years, and may be as easily cultivated at 
potatoes. Land that will \ieJd 50 bashels of corn to the 
acre will produce 2,000 lbs. of madder. Tl»e cost of 
raising, wasliing, drying, grinding, seed, rent of land, 
&c. will not exceoil 7 cents per pound, and the whole- 
siile price of the AincricHn article for three years has 
been *2;J cents. The hi-sl time to ]>urclinKe seed is in the 
fall. Il has been cultivated with success in some coun- 
ties in the stjtte of New York, and according to the fore- 
i;oing estimate must be a vei7 profitable crop.

Tinoe of Guserath, in tlie kingdom of I^-Hore, to his

ErrsCTB or taxation. Mr. Coke's estate connii^ts of 50,000 
oerea of land, rented up<tn an avrra^e at 1G«. per acre, and as 
Iba Iber-eourve sysit^m of hUHhamiry is piireuiMl in that country, 
^■•-fiMrUi part ofihis estate, or l-VOU acre*i,are annually sow-

•eia par aere, or 50,000 quarters of barley annually. Now the 
dnqr (before tha last repeal) to governmeai, on making Ave 
faafleta of barley into malt and be«-r of both sons, was £ 14 3s.

llaMalhe aannal rent, these 10,000 acres yiefdme tn governmeiii 
£141^660 while they yield to Mr. Coke only £8,000. Now the 
AMdholders receive three filths of all the laies raided, whrnr*; 
it Mlows Ibat they derive from these 10,000 acres £M,996 a«. 
or abova ten times as much as the landlord. This sum, loo, he 
it raasesibered, is exempt from all direct taxation, contributes 
■olbiof to Ilie poor, nothing lo the state, the church, the army,

There was cut, tlie mist winter, from one aere of land

'I'he population of the British provinces in India, ae- 
cording lo an account recently imbliithed, amounts to 
95,OtK),OOa I'hat such a numerical i>ower shoidd be 
held in subjection to the British crown by a force of only 
40,000 men, is a strong proof of what may be effected bj 
civilization over barbarism. 

The New York Courier say^— A correspondent of the 
New llcdford Mercury, lately took the pains to eountthe 
sliipping then in llntt '^mrt, and found that there were at 
the uh«rve»,and at Fairhaven, an apiiendaee of that port 
Hs Brooklyn is of ours, fifiy>one ships aiMf barques, be- 
sides three brigs, all, with' one excejition, belonging to 
tliat port, and nearly all of them refitting for vo3raget. 
There ai-e at this time ten or a dozen ships lying at 
New London, refitting also for whaling voyages.— 
New Bedford with its ISO sail of whaling ships; Nan- 
tucket with its 90 or 100; New London and Sa^arbor 
witli their thirty a piece, and other porU numbering ten 
or a dozen each', displaying a fishing marine thatezeeeda 
that of all the rest of the world, and exhibit a nursery ot 
bi-ave and hardy seamen, sufficient to furnish forth a na- 
val force at any moment capable of making the start and 
stripes respected in every sea, and of affording protection 
to our maritime rights in every quarter of the globe. 

It will lie seen, by the following paragraph, that among 
the good tiling? done bv sir Robert Peel, is the granting 
of a |>eiiRion, among others, to the poet Montgomery.^— 

The only pcMisioiis granted by sir Robert Peel during 
his administration, excepting one of £100 per annum to 
the widow of Mr. Temple, late governor of Sierre Leone, 
are the following:— Professor Airy, £300; Mr. Southey, 
jEStK); Mrs. Somervillc, £900\ James Montgomeiir, 
£150; Sheron Turner, £i»0. This, we presume, la 
proof ol conservative profligacy in the administration of 
patroiiHgc— of sir Robert Peel's disregard of literary 
merit, and of his desire to repress litetary exertion. But 
stop, the pensioners are all lories? Noj the majority mro 
whigs. 

The ship Gi-eat Britain was hauled Into tlie hydranlie 
dock on Tuesday. This is the largest ship that haa yet 
been got into that dock. She measures 724 tons, is 139 
feet length, 34 feet 6 inches in breadth, and M feet 6 in- 
ches depth of hold. After the ship was hauled into the 
dock, and secured, slie was raised oat of water in ybrj5f- 
kveminutet, with the utmost ease, by the powerful cylin- 
ders now in use, which are said to be tlie largest ever 
cast in anv part of the world. The above facts will shov 
the great 'facilities which this esublishment is capable of 
affording, in the wav of repairing ships, and we have no 
doubt it will be found one of the mnst useful and eonvc- 
nient for the puqiose tliat ever has been oonstrueted.

11. Rewlredf 1'liat, above all, we regard Daniel Webbtek,

years, ha* called on him to *lale, define and limit hi* opinions 
re*pectiiig the provi-'ion* of the con*tilution, till nil know their 
character and extent; and that we nutard these opinions as tbu 
true views of the coiistltnlinn, equally remote from all tenden- 
cy to coiiHcdidalion, and all tendency to disunion; a* moderate, 
Ju*t and practicable, and indi*pen*nble to the well-being uf Uie

MEETING AT BOSTON. 
A vast meeting of the people was held at Faneuil Jlall^ Bos- 
ton, on Thur*day, the^ih uli. of the ftiends uf .Mr. Webster, 
mm president uf the United Slates. It was llie largest and muiit 
enthusiastic ever held there. 

The meeting was called to order by Oeorge Darracotl^ and 
waniaed by the appointment of Jo^n C Gr'ay^ a* prii&ideiii— 
rSlepAen /'air&an/rs and Phintn9 Spra^ur, a* vice president*, 
and of Fran^ B. Croumin^thieUt H'illiam T. Kutlis, Henry 
Xdwardt und Jllean Simond$f a* secretaiie*. Tin: object ol the 
-■leetiug waa then briefly liiated by CAarfci f . Curtis^ who 
offered a aeriea of Judicious and eloquent resoluliun*, embody- 
ing the purposea for which the nomination of Da.<«iet. Webster 
lu tbe preeidency was made, and the principle* on which it 
woyid be sustained. 

Mr. Hu/uM Choate and Mr. FraneU C. Gray^ addressed the 
■lectiag, and weie loudly cheered— the resululion* arc as fol- 
loara: 

ftrkertoM the time has arrived, when it is proper, that the 
eeoaa of the people of the United Siatcs sliould be expre**vd, 
oa the subject of the election of a proident- 

1. Reaolctdy That we deem it our duty, and it is our fixed 
and reaulule purpose, to give our support to a candidate for 
Ibat office, whose principle* we approve, in wliorto character 
we confide, of whose patrioli*m we have proof, and on whom 
weean, in any event, rely, to administer the conslilulion in 
the Bpiiit of those who framed it; and that accordingly wi: en- 
tirely and cordially approve the nomination ol DANIEL WEB- 
STER, made al a meeting of a large majority of the legislature 
of Massachusetts, on the 21st of January, and the general 
ground on which Uie said nomination was placed, in tiieir re- 
aolotions and address. 

9. A<so<red, That, while the high offices of the government 
are justly to be viewed as the reward* of di*tingui*lied *ervice, 
Ibey are in a republican syi>teni, to he *titl more peculiarly con- 
fidered as aBsroRBiBLB tritsts, to bo administered, with an 
eiclaslve view to the welfare of the country; and that we re- 
gard the idea, that important official htaliun* are the mere 
"spoila of. victory" as unworthy of freemen, di*crediiablv to 
the party by which it i* avowtd, and dangerous to the country. 

3. tuiolvtdf That we consider as highly reprehensible the 
faiierference of incumbent* of office to control the election*; 
and while we willingly concede to them the rights of individual 
eitiaens, we look upon an assemblage in mock convention of 
large numbers of office bolder* delegated by bodies of like com- 
position — to make a pretended nomination of candidates pre- 
vkmsly agreed upon and notoriously pledged lo continue the 
oOce holders in ttieir places, as a gri>ss abuse of the elective 
franchise, and an outrage on the people, whose dearest poliii- 
COl riahta are thus attempted to be bartered away. 

4. AMOlsed, Ttiat the selection of candidates, by the citizens 
of any part of the United Stales, on purely sectional ground*, 
and the rejection of the most eminent qualifleations for high 
ofltce, because they are found in some other part of the coiin- 
^, is ioconsiiient with the *pirit and principles of the union 

' ise states; and that our fellow citizens of the southern 

, who, out of twelve presidential term*, have ten times 

olected their own citizens, may reasonably be expected, at the 
•ppmaching election, to give proof to tlie country, that they do 
Bol claim a monoptdy of the government. 

5. Jtesolsed, That we ardently desire the return of constitn- 
ikMUd timea, that we are weary of the violence, tumult and 
oorraption which prevail In the land, and linve been raised to 
bigh plaeea, that we are weary of continued appeals, by the

Harigart, of Pennsylvania, opposed the posiponemf^nt on 
itai that Ibe gentlemen of neither set of delegaiinni 
M tiaia were anlhorised to make any bargain and that a» 
|irtoa BiiMt be settled by the conveiiiiou, it should be

MM that eoald be made; holding himself as he did, to 
Nifla of iaatnicijon.

, much as he regretted that It was deemed neces-

1 availed nothing on the present occasion. The 
Important one, not only to ihe republican and 
f or^ Pennsylvania, for if so he would not have 
re, but it was a question of deep and vital 
I national democratic p^irty throughout the 
■d within ita scop** the question as to the 
qnently the soccess of that party. What 
Why a convention of dflegsies of the se- 
lembled there, representing the entire re- 
hmaghont the union, and two sets of inHividu- 
Ihoee stales presenlHd themselves claiminii 
^'haeing to be the representatives of the party 
mking to he united with the party of ihe 
rOHchoui the union. How could there he 
^nd unity If these individuals e.inie from 
f, in allusion to the eloquent and hnppy il- 
lie president yesterday, each man to«ik his 
he gallant ship and steered tor himself, 
arniony and iininn of ttie repiihlicaii par- 
" iihHt'ration applicable to the rase under 
ung the two seu of individuals purport- * 
in Ihe lUte of Pennsylvania should be ^ 



equally divided on the choice of a vice president, the rarall 
would be that the vote of Pennsylvania would be lost al- 
together to the democratic party. He believed the appoiotroeai 
of a committee would lead to a settlement of the question; ha 
could assure the convention that it was not the wish of hia 
Cf>lleagues to interpose any delay, and whatever might be the 
decision of the innjiiriiy, they would abide by it. 

Mr. BtUnt Pennsylvania assured the c<mvention that bioH 
self and those who acted with him would agree to any euuraa 
the convention might see At to adopt, and he would also add 
on the part ofliimself and his rollengnes who claimed lo repre- 
sent the Jaeks<in party in Pennsylvania that tbey wnuht 
shrink from no investigation. If Uiis cup, bitter as it is, coald 
have been cast away, he should have been glad, for the sake of 
this convention, of the great democratic party In the union, of 
which party in Pennsylvania he claimed to be a representative 
in that assembly. He would reiterate that il ihe investigation 
\ were demanded he and his honorable colleagues were ready to 
go into it, either then or at any other time, and before any tri- 
bunal whatever. 

Mr. Branchj of Rhode Island, was opposed to Ihe adoption of 
the amendment. He had no feeling whatever directly or indi- 
rectly, in favor of or against, either of the delegations from that 
res|»eciable state, living as he did at a distance, and not having 
even the pleasure of a pergonal acquninlance with any of the 
gentlemen. The only object he had in view waa the good of 
the great republican party of the union, and to endeavor as 
much as in him lay to produce harmony and concord In the 
proceedings of this assembly. Every member must sincerely 
regret that a division, temporary he hoped, had arisen among 
the great democratic party in Pennsylvania. The democracy 
of that state had susuined the union, and presented a solid 
phalanx to their opponents, and he hoped in heaven that ao 
division would be suffered to prevail among them, but that har- 
mony and union will be cherished and cultivated. Permit him 
respectfully and with all due deference to suggest to the re- 
spectable delegations from that respecuble state a lesson f^om 
ancient history. We have a lesson of the fall of a splendid 
city, once the pride and glory of the east which should be aato 
them a warning against division. While the Roman army waa 
encamped under tlie walls of that great city, with bat liilla 
prospect of success. It was ascertaiDed that a divisioa liad 
arisen within Ihe walls of the city. What that originated 
from we are hardly able to ascertain; he would not say that It 
was 80 small a matter as that one party was in favor of Wolf, 
and Ihe other of Muhlenberg, but we do know tbat one party 
was in lavor of John and the other Eleazar. While these two 
parties in the city were in contention, both ready to meet iha 
common enemy, but still divided by their intestine commfv- 
tioiis, the Koman army became aware of the slate of things, 
made a successful assault upon tiie fortifications, and in a (ear 
short days that splendid city, Ihe pride and glory of the east, 
was raced to its foundmion. He feared for the democracy of 
Pennsylvania, but he hoped in heaven his fears would not ba 
realized. Sir, said Mr. B. I put the question to you as a bene- 
volent father if two of your own family should knock at Iha 
door of your mansion for admission, what sir, would be yonr 
feelings? Would you not say, they are of my name they belong 
lo me? Ah, but says one, although we are your children if my 
brother be admitted I will not enter the house, for my claim la 
better than his! What would the benevolent parent say? 
You both belong to the same family, take your seats aroaad 
the family table, and if they refuse, yon can then say, i have 
done my duty. The application must be understood by all. 
Again Mr. B. would repeat he trembled for the demoeracv of 
Pennsylvania, and heaven grant his fears might not be ▼erined. 

Mr. Burden^ of Pennsylvania, did not suppose they should do 
much by following the advice of their friend John Quincj 
Adams, and *<d<HlBing" the question, for the party to which 
Mr. B. belonged did not understand much about "dodging.** 
He was for following the example of president Jackson, march- 
ing right up to the enemy. The quee tion with them was not 
about a consumption of time but whether it was the duty of 
that convention to settle it. He always thought it the duty of 
every b«Nly to deeid<> on the qualifications of its roembem, and 
It required no arxument to show that if they proceeded in ac- 
eordiincK with tlHf rules of the house of representatives it was 
Iheir duty to settle this question, and to say who were entitled 
to be considered the representatives of the democracy of Penn- 
?iylvnnin and who not. There was no dodging this question. 
for, one way or the other it mnst and would come up. Would 
Ihe conveution have one set of delegHtes voting for one indivi- 
dual and the other for another! and then go home and tell iha 
people of Pennsylvania that you came here to perform a duty, 
ind that though you are called the "key stons'* of the stales, 
ynu have done nothing? It may satisfy your own minds, but it 
will not saiitfy the people. Any attempt to cover this question 
will have the eflert of destroying, so far as Pennsylvania was 
47oncernKil, tlie ofTorts of the democratic party. It was to avoid 
that that he wi*>lied this matter to be settled, frtr he cared no- 
thins about governors of Pennsylvania, hut he wished to secure 
tier vote for that administration to which ihey belonged and 
which they desired to sustain. 

Mr. Mnntij of Pennsylvania, expressed his regret al the feel-

'eeling would hereafter bo set aside and that the pnblie good

■lineal of iMm Penosylrmnia dnlegationt st all, and he lodolsed 
Um iMip* that ao duciUMiun would arise tlipreon. Ue woulti 
oaljr eiplaaii tliat Ibe eomutiuee of whicli be wa« the nrf an, haif 
no laloiikNi of brinKing up the ducuMvinn at that or any future^ 
■lOfe of llie pffoceedinRs, but had repitrted the iiaiuen of boili 
■eta of dclegalea iu purAuance of the duty iuipunfd upon it h> 
Iho eOBvenlioD. Having pcrrnriiied wliHt thi*y coiiindifrwd to bi' 
tiftcir doly, itaa whuie matter wa« now with ihe convention. 

Mr. All then moved to postpone the lurtJier consideration ot 
Um raanlution till to-morrow. 

Mr. KromuTf of PeiinKVlvania, expressed his regret that thu 
privola f«iid« ezialing in Pennsylvania should have been bruuglii 
op in Itel aaaembly, bal if the subject must be aone into, itiv 
■oooer tho better, for lie waa perfectly prepared lor the discus- 
■ioo. 

Mr. Acll oleo regretied, he said, that any circumaiance should 
•IMC ooi or ibe division in Pennsylvania calculated to create 
eaiborruamr ot in that assembly, and he still entertained a con- 
Meni hope thai the waiter would be arranged between the par- 
iMt. The object he had by moving a postponement of the sub> 
Ject waa that time nii|ht be afforded to the gentlemen on both 
aMieo for coaeiliatiun, il* possible. Ue would add that he was at 
all tiaea ready to mret this question in the broadest shape, al 
llHNigli he still eipressed a hope that it would be unnecessary 
lo trouble the cooventiua on this subject, lie must insist upon 
MsoMtion. 

Mr. Sierigerv, of Pennsylvania, oppnued the postponement on 
Ike ground that the gentlfnien o( neither set of delegations 
ftooi tkal state were authorised to make any bargain and that at 
tka qooatioB must be settled by the coiiveniiun, it i^hould be 
*Me prouiptly. The gentleiiiNO said he could think of no ar 
rangeMoat that could be made; holding himself as be did, to 
file priocipie of instruction. 

Mr. Uiletf of Pennsylvania, said, as a member of the Penn- 
qrlvania delegation, elected at Ifarrisburgh, he could see no 
inaeiMo good that could arise out of the postponement of this 
8ak|)oct« for although they had been there about two days, there 
waa oo prospect, tliai he was aware of, that an amicable ar- 
laagCflMBl would be effected. If the convention would permit 
Ika report of the committee to come up, it was his intention to 
oAraa amendment to the resolution excepting the state of 
PeanaylTania, and proposing that a coinmittee be appointed of 
one delegate nt>m each state by iIm> respective deltgations to 
iavavtigate the subject and report therectn. He trusted thnt il 
woald not be considered that the delfgation of which he had 
Ika linnor of being a mtiiiUer iind the sliiclitest inclinatifm to oc- 
copy the valuable lim^ of ihe convrniion, but the question was 
one tbat must be decided one way or the other, and it was more 
poeaHarly witliin the province of a conunittee to investigate il, 
Ikan for ao large an assembly as the whole convention. 

Mr. Horn, of Pennsylvania, snid he waa mt fully prepared tn 
■MMI tlie question tlien as on the en*ining day, for all the cir- 
cooMtaocea were strong in his recollection, and he really be- 
llevodi aotbiog would be gained by postponing it. He thought 
llM^nealton should be met fully by the convtintinn, unless, in 
the language of John Uuincy Adams it was intended to **dodce** 
it. Be feared that there was not time to enter it fully, and that 
Um aailety of gentlemen to go home would militate against 
Mm and hie friends, and would be an inducement to prevent a 
Aill bearing, for it would probably occupy not less tliuii three 
or foordays. He appealed to his honorable colleague to wilh- 
dnw hie motion for postponement. 

Mr. BM accordingly withdrew his motion. 

Mr. JNIct, of Pennsylvania, then proposed to add the fitllow- 
Ing amendment to the resolution, viz: to add thereto the fol- 
lowiBf words: **except the persons named as delegates from 
Pennaylvania, and so far as re«pectH such delegates, a commit- 
leo fea appointed to inquire and rep<iri what individuals are en- 
Ulied ID be admitted to repri^sent thai htate in this convention, 
and tkatsaid committee he composed of one periion from each 
aialn delegation except that of Pennsylvania, to be nominated 
by Ibe reepective delegations." 

Mr. Miles said, much as he regretted that it was deemed neces- 
aarjrln bring this subject before the convention, yet if they had 
■ regard ft»r principle, private regrets niui*! give wav to public 
good. Ttiey availed nothing on the present occasion. 'i*he 

Sueaffon waa an important one, not only to the republican and 
Hmocffallc party of Penn^iylvania; for it so he would not have 
raip«Nl hia voice there, but it wait a qne'^tion of derp and vital 
iaiereat lo the whole national democratic p-irty throughout the 
anloa, aa it cmbrared within its scope the question as to the 
iaiegriiy and consequently the success nf that party. What 
waa Ibe question? Why a convention of delegates of the se- 
veiai stales waa assembled there, representing the entire re- 
paMlean party throughout ihe. uniiMi, and two sets of mdividn- 
ala from one of those slates preHeiilcd ihruHelves riaiminii 
aoals,and both professing to bo ilie representatives of the party 
of that aiale, and atking to be united with the piuiy of ihe 
aome description throitchont the union. How rould there he 
aatd lo be harmony and unity if those individuals c.iuie from 
dlffcrent imirres.' If, in allu>ion to the eloquent and happy il- 
iHatmtlnn made by the pre.<tidriit yesterday, each man took his 
Iheorlle plank from the gallant ship and steered lor himself, 
wherp wrMild he the harmony and union of the repuhlican par- 
ty? He would put one illuntratiou applicable to the rase under 
cooaideralioii. Supposing the two aeis of individuals purport- 
lag 4b bo dtliiilae from Ibe itate of Peansjlvaoia should be 



equally divided on the choice of a vice president, the raeolt 
would be that the vote of Pennsylvania would be loei al- 
togetlier to the democratic party. He believed the appolotmeni 
of a coniniiitee would lead to a settlement of the questioo; ha 
could aMure the convention that it was not the wiata of hia 
cidliagues to interpose any delay, and whatever might be ibe 
decision of the majority, they would abide by il. 

.Mr. BtUnf Pennsylvania assured the convention that him- 
self and those who acted with him would agree to aay cuuraa 
the convention might see At to adopt, and he would also add 
on tile part ofliiniself and bis collenguea who claimed u> repre- 
sent the Jacks4in party in Pennsylvania that they would 
shrink from no investigation. If this cup, bitter as it i«, eoald 
have been cast away, he should have been glad, for the sake of 
this convention, of the great democratic party in the onion, of 
which party in Pennsylvania he claimed to be a representative 
in that atsembly. He would reiterate that if the inveatigation 
were demanded he and his honorable colleagues were ready to 
go into it, either tlieu or al any other time, and before any tri- 
bunal whatever. 

Mr. Branchf of Rhode Island, was opposed lo the adopiioa of 
the amendment. He had no feeling whatever directly or indi- 
rectly, in frfvor of or against, either of the delegations from that 
respectable state, living as he did at a distance, and not having 
even the pleasure of a pergonal acquaintance with any of the 
gentlemen. The only object he had in view was the good of 
the great republican parly of the union, and to endeavor aa 
much as in him lay lo produce harmony and concord In the 
proceedings of this assembly. Every member most sincerely 
regret that a division, temporary he hoped, had arisen among 
the great democratic party in Pennsylvania. The democracy 
of that sute had sustained the union, and presented a colld 
phalanx to their opp<ments, and he hoped in heaven thai ao 
division would be suffered to prevail among them, but that har- 
mony and union will he cherished and cultivated. Permit him 
respectfully and with all due deference to suggeat to the re- 
spectable delegations from that reapeetable elate a leaaon f^om 
ancient history. We have a lesson of the fall of a epiaidid 
city, once the pride and glory of the east which shoo Id be uolo 
them a warning against division. While the Roman army waa 
encamped under the walls of that great city, with but liitia 
prospect of success, it was ascertained that a diviaioa had 
arisen within the walls of the city. What that originated 
from we are hardly able to ascertain; he would not My that II 
was 80 small a matter as that one party was in favor of Wolf, 
and the other of Muhlenberg, but we do know that one party 
was in lavor of John and the other Eleaxar. While theee two 
parlies in the city were in contention, both ready to meet tho 
common enemy, but still divided by their intestine commfv- 
lions, the Roman army became aware of the state of ihinge, 
made a successful assault upon the fortifications, and ia a few 
short days that splendid city, the pride and glory of Ihe east. 
was raced to its foundation. He feared for the democracy or 
Pennsylvania, but he hoped in heaven his fears wovid not bo 
realized. Sir, said Mr. B. f put the question to vou as a beae- 
vnleiit father if two of your own family should knock at Iha 
door of your mansion for admission, what sir, would be yoor 
feelings? Would you not aay, they are of my name they belong 
to me? Ah, but says one, although we are your childrea if my 
brother be admitted I will not enter the house, for my claim la 
better than his! What would the benevolent parent say? 
Vou both belong lo the same family, take your seats aroaad 
the family table, and if they refuse, yon can then say, 1 have 
done my duty. The application must be understood by all. 
Again Mr. B. would repeat he trembled for the democracy of 
Pennsylvania, and heaven grant his fears might not be veriOed. 

Mr. Burden^ of Pennsylvania, did not suppose they shoold do 
much by following the advice of their friend John Quincy 
Adams, and "dodning'' the question, for the party to which 
}/lr. B. belonged did not underiitand much ab«iut "dodging." 
He was for following the example nf prcitident Jackson, BMrch- 
ing right up lo the enemy. The quefiion with them was not 
about a consumption of time but whether it was the duly of 
that convention tn settle it. He always thought it the duty of 
every body to decide on the qualifications of its members, aad 
It required no arsumeni lo show that if they proceeded ia ae* 
cordance with tl»o rules of ihe hous4> of representatives it was 
their duty to settle this question, and tn say who were entitled 
lo be considered the representatives ol the democracy of Penn- 
■lylvanin and who not. There was no dodging this qncalioa. 
for, one way or Ihe other it mnst and would come up. Would 
■he convention have one set of delepiles voting for one indivi- 
iJual and the other for anniher! and then go home and tell the 
»ieople of Pennsylvania that you came here to perform a duly, 
niid thnt though you are called the "key ston*"of the stales, 
^-ou have done nothing? Il may saiinfy your own minds, but it 
"■vill not satisfy the people. Any attempt to cover this question 
Hill have Ihe efTert of destroying, so far aa Pennsylvania waa 
concerned, the effiirts of the democratic party. It was to avoid 
ihat that he wi>hed this matter lo be settled, frir he eared no- 
■ hins about governors of Pennsylvania, but he wished to secure 
Ner vote for that admiiiisiration lo which they belonged and 
which Ihey de^iired to sustain. 

Mr. Mnntij of Pennsylvania, expressed hia regret at Ihe 1^1- 
tns already manifested on this suhject, and hoped that private 
reeling would hereafter be set aside and that the public good 
tind the success of the candidate* here nominated would aloae 
be eonsidered. All thai was asked waa that ihtt «hAkA "waMsi.

wen auMH iwd In the lonBhine and llie shower. Their flockt 
•poricd la kaauiy and in gludniiM tlirttush ihnir •miling flcld«— 
llMdr banraati were ripened, Uieir Kranaiii** Ailed. To tkete 
tbey looked for anrture— for |>roiectioii to llie bruoiling wings 
of llM Almigliiy; and under llicir ahadow and amid ihe lioude- 
hold idol* that bleeaed Ibeir domt* ^lic h«ArUii<, in the pride and 
uncgllied nobility of their nature, tiiey vowed ''eternal iiO«tility 
to every kind of tyranny UmI can oppreM the mind of mnn." 
Under Iha iofluence of tins high and holy resolve, the bank 
with all lis train of intriguua and profligacies, lias gone to the 
wall, and a peal of popular triumph has been shouted at the 
polte, which will ring, I trust, with sickening agony in the cars 
of pane-proud usBrpiition,ror an age to come. 

Thesie are the men, Mr. President, that have demanded and 
will rnsUin the nouiination of the diittingunihed personage to 
whose character and patriotic darioK 1 have Ju^t referred/ His 
faaie, like that of our venerable chief magiiitriite, sprrads every 
wbere~«like in the wilderness and in tlie **city full,"penetrat- 
iag into the far valleys, climbing to ilie hill top*, and reaching 
in its kiodltni, aaiinating influences every los-cahin bi^yond the 
■ooBtaiaa. His brilliant ami successful strusgles agninsi the 
Ibul, adulterous union of church and state, have coiiitecratod 
Ma nauic to immorialiiy. The emancipated debtor, as he leaps 
from hla prison and pallelof straw, shouts forth his praises, and 
Ihe soldier oftlie revolution, as he totters inti» his grave, tcach- 
oa his children to love and venerate his name. There is a 
voice fkom the treat valley of the west, from all her cities and 
her coii^gea. There is a voice from the eA»t, from the north 
aad tlMl auuth; there is a voicr from the fields of the hui>bMnd- 
■laa, from the workshops of the mechanic, from the primary 
assemblies of the people, from the conventions of neigh bor- 
buods and of states, calling aloud for the elevation of this war- 
wora aoldler, this tned and incorruptible patriot, this advocate 
ofUie destitute and the down troddeuf this friend to freedom 
aad to man. Such, sir, is Bichnrd M. Johnson, of Kentucky— 
a lepaUlcan ia woaas, if not, in faith, as ktraiigely nnderMood 
^ tlM Virginia delegation. I rejoice that this convention, in 
Bialilag thM nomination, have scouted all the suhiile diplomacy 
of Ihe politieuin, and have freely responded to the warm, gush- 
iag •fl'eetioos of the millions tliey represent. They have no- 
IMBf to fear for the fate of Uieir nominee. lie is fortressed be- 
btaM princlplea and popular attachiuenis, impregnable as Gi- 
braller. The people have twined the wreath of glory around 
Ua brow — the harpy hand of faction cannot tear it off, nor can 
Iha sirocco breath of a myriad of calumniations, wither the iu- 
ianial freshnecs of its emerald. 

Mr. President, these remarks have bt'en made wholly in de- 
'fcnce and not by way of recrimination. \o imputation is de- 
rifoed to be thrown upon the disiinguHhrd friend of the gentle- 
mm from Vininia. Of the talents, the patriotism and the de- 
mocracy of William C Rives, I entertain the ino^tt exalted os- 
timalA. I would not, if I could, pluck one sprig from the chap- 
let of renown which adorns his brow. **Ile has worn his ho- 
Dora well, and may he wear them lone." In bo wins to the 
riglitof inatruction and retiring from the senate of the United 
SUIM, agaia to submit his fortunes to the popular sufl'racv, he 
haa made a ■acriilce to republican principles, which does credit 
to bla party, to his state; which sheds lustre not only upon his 
owD liw, but apon the age in which be lives. Rut, sir, he is 
yet In the flower of his manhood, with prospects that brighten 
•vory boar— tills convention have not disparaged or discounie- 
■aaeiad bis claims — tliey have only been postponed, 

Mr. President, 1 would b«fg the deleuaies who have voted in 
the mlDoriiy apon this occasion, to pause and reflect upon the 
•■aeassiiy-ofa prompt and cordial co-operation with the majo- 
nlf In Ihe noaiiuauons made. Let not the seeds of weakness 
mmm allhiiate overthrow be (ound in the present stren:;lh of the 
iMoMican party. True, that party has warred upon systems 
•iMtvery and upon the father ol systems, and led them pros- 
tiaU upon Ihe field, ft has grappled with the mammoth bank, 
•ad the American aristocrats and Uritifb lories that sustained 
li -haa iriuraphed, gloriously triumphed over them all. The 
Biovy of tint victory has gone abroad upon the wings of the 
wrlad— atata has spoken it to state, city to city and man to man 
la Iba tones of gladness and congratulatiou. The nation lias 
aivafccDcd from its somnambulism— and the panic, with all its 
f spectres of ruin has passed off. And that colossal mo 



Mvoi power which in the arrogance of its strensih, and in the 
fMltoilta ambition would have flung a fetter upon every free 
~'^l iB Iha repablie, smote by the arm of popular indignation, 
V gasping in the sgonies of its di:<solution. The splendid 
finis sublime tribute to the incorruptibility and intclli- 
I of Ibe people, has strengthened the cause of liberal prin- 
I Ibrooflhout the habitable globe. Itut, I beseech gentle- 
n«D In Ibe minority here, to remember that vigilance, action, 
UNIOIf , Arm and unshaken, can alone guard the republican 
party from tlie insidioui approaches of their discomfited adver- 
awiaa. 

For cbongb those adversaries have been broken up and scat- 
icfoAovary where, disguising themselves under every name, 
•ad aaaaming cwwy badge, ye.t we know they are still leagued 
togatliar by a common sense of defeat, by a common scorn of 
Iba people who have tromplcd them down, by a common long- 
lag for oflleo aad power, from which they have been driven, 
BM by a common detestation of the great principles oftlie re- 
paUftcaa party. Impressed with these truths, the democrats of 
tiM aaloa bate sent lu here, that we luiglit meet as a band of bro- 
Ibanj aadi Millier our feelings to mingle Into one, that we might 



plight anew our faith to each other, and to our country, prepare 
for concert and union of action, that we may go forth shouldei 
to shoulder, and heart to heart in the coming conflict. Mr. 
President, shall we do thi^, or shall we prenent to tiie high- 
eouled freemen we represent, the humiliuting spectacle of dis- 
traction in our own ranki«? Whose ear itt pre|>ared for that 
wild and almost demoniac note of exultation, which would 
cross the mountains, and ring from one end oftlie nation to Uie 
other, thiough all the factions of the oppoaition? None, I trust. 
We have met U|M)n llie ground of friendly consultation and 
coinproniifie ti* to men. 

We have met to surrender all personal predilections ood pre« 
Jodiccs upon the altar of the coninioii gt»od. Le.t us then make 
the sacrifice cheerl'ully; from our hearts, gen'tleinen, let us 
make it. Let us by this day's action, tell the world, and erpe- 
cially the de.^peraie votaries of auibiiion who nre baiiliitg 
aciiinst us, that we strike for higher oltJi:cl*i than *'tlie spoils of 
victory" — that we are banded together by the ties of patriotism 
and of brotherhood— that with the destinies of the uncompro- 
mising democrats chosen by u::, wu have bnun<i up the desti- 
nies ot the republican paity, and it« great animating principles 
— that we will rally around tlieai now and heieatter, here and 
nvfty where, in one impenetrable phalanx, wheie no jar of dis- 
cord ^liail be heard, no cliiti of disatfectiou shall be felt, and 
though the furnace of per.'eciiiion shall be heated for them 
*'si<ven times hotter than it has been wont to be," yet they 
shall not pass the fiery ordeal alone — not alone, but the great 
repiililicaii party, one and tiufimib/e, will walk by their side 
and "vhield them and save them or peri^h there too." 

Mr. Jio/fiman, of Virginia, itaid, arter the very eloquent dis- 
play that had Just been heard, he felt bound to state to the con- 
vention the motives which had actuated the delegation of the 
Old Dominion. She had never yet asked nor sought for ofllce 
— :ill she required was a guarantee for the preservation and 
maintenance of her principles, tier's was a stern, a strict, an 
unyielding and an uudeviaiiug respect for the principles of the 
con»ttitntion. 

Mr. II. proceeded in substance to say, that Virginia was rea- 
dy to supitort any man who was of her principles, and profess- 
ed the JefTersonian doctrine'), whether he were from the Old 
Dominion or not; and that it would be in vain, an absolute ab- 
surdity for the Virginia delegation to recommend a man of op- 
posite principles to the people of that state, and such the dele- 
gation considered col. Johnson to be. 

On motion of Mr. iiom, of Pennsylvania, the convention 
took a recess till 6 o'clock. 

In the evening* 
The president announced that he had named ^»i7us IKrigAI, 
Jun. ofNew York, Uj,ton S. Heath, of Md. Jured It. fVUliamt, 
of N. H. Robert Stransie, of N. C. and Samuel ^. Carticrighi, 
of Miss, to addret>> the pvople of tlie Uiiitpd Htati'S. 

New Jersey, Maine, Georgia, Maryliiinl, Massachusetts and 
North Carolina gave in their adhesion to the selection that bad 
been made of vice pre>«idenl — 

General Sunni/crs, of North Carolina, said that witliont in- 
lending, in theslishlCHtdrgree to reflect upon the course which 
may have bi'eu t.iken by oihi-rs, he was nulhorined to say. In 
liclntlf of the delegation from North Carolina, that having gone 
into the convention and united in the various rules and orders 
adopted for its eovernment, pailiculaily in tire resolution re- 
quiriiiK two-thirds to constiluto a nomination, and that vote 
having been given in favor of a di^ifingnished individual of 
Kentucky, as the candidate for vice president, that delegation 
feel iheinselves bound by the nomination thus made, whatever 
may have been their own preferences; nor do they consider it 
necessary to olTer any p.irticular resolution expressive of thai 
concurrence, flavins said thus much, under the authority of 
the delegation, gen. S. as-ked pennission to add a word in be- 
half of a portion of it, as we'if as in behalf of himself; thai 
whilst he concurrfd in the vote Kiven in »>np|>ort of William C. 
Rives, of Viruinia, not becau<(e of his rei<iili-nce, nor because 
he was of the south; but because we deemed him pccaliarly 
acceptable to the people of North Carolina, and because we 
supposed him acceptable to the great republican party of the 
union. But the convention having decided in favor of another, 
they not only yielded themselves, hut felt confident that tlia 
people oftlie state would approve of ibrir course. 

And, sir, said cenerul S. as the personal and political fHend 
of William C. Rives, I feel authoiixed in believing and of 
saying timt he would be the lait man in this community who 
would refuse to •>ubinit to the decision of the great dcmocrnllo 
party, announced as it had been by the fmphatic vote of this 
assembly. No, sir, the proof that .Mr. Rives had recently given 
of his submi.^!«ion to the will of his constituents, and his prac- 
tical recognition of the rieht of instruction, that caidinni point 
in our political failh, repels the idea of a refusal to yield to the 
will of the democracy. 

And, sir, as retards the democracy of "the good old state,'* 
that cannot, NOR will not refuse to concur in the vote re- 
cently civrn. No, the democracy of this patriotic Hate, with 
acclamation united with gallant Kentucky in that war which 
was called for by the offended honor of ihe nation, sustained 
as it was by her blood and treasure, this democracy cannot 
now refuse to unite in honoring one who contributed so much 
to its actual declaration, succe;<sful prosecution and glorioui 
termination. And while she feels grateful to the anllant sol- 
dier, she knows how to appreciate the merits of the faithful 
public tervantj and we undertake to say, in behalf of UiAdAr-

We had Ihouglil Mr. Ijeigh guiltless of all these things, 
seeing that lie was, by tlie vote of both houses of iTii* 
legislature, nnaitimtiutly appointed a cominissiouvr to 
South CuroliiiA in January, 1853, to convey to that slate 
the aenliments of tlie [leople of Virginia as to state 
rights, &c* Sec vol* 43 — |»tt|e 394. At that time, Ihs 
gentleman was, ofuU in Virgtma, supposed best fitted to 
cany out the '^^ Virginia doctrines;^^ and something waa 
said about hi a mind being *^aM/mre oir ether t*^ £cc. It i« 
cei ta:n, that he was entrusted wiifi the deUcatt task of on- 
[lostng the procUniatlon of the ptnideiit — and, at tlic 
same lime, of inducing South Cartdma to refrain from 
pushing things to extremities — and by the unanimous 
vole of both brandies of the legisUlure, 

It appears from the preceding entract that Mr. Lmgh 
co-nperaled with Vivgttua in the lupport of Mr. Craw- 
ford, **ttfAo -was QH advocate of the bunk.^* This fact 
should teach us charity, when we speak of tVie hank, 
and those that were friendly to its reehnrtcr — that U9t at 
ati ttatid/n^ m the -mty e/* Virginia^ either in tfte caticttt 
that nominated f or Uie vote that woi given to Mm, iit 19S4.

A most afflicting casualty occurred at West Point on 
Monday, the 1st iiist. says'the N. Y. American. While 
two of the cadets were fencing together, the button of 
one of the foils broke in making a lung*?, and the foil en- 
tered the eye aiid the binin of cadet Carter, of Va. He 
survived the wound only a few hours. The state of mind 
of his surviving fritnd, is almost bordering on distrac-

There wo "yet another" destniclire (ire at New 
York, on Monday mornini; last, in the block bounded by 
Prince, Elixabeth and Mott streets, and thirty frame 
houaes, or those with "brick fronts*' consumed. It was 
celled **Young Dublin," and abont eight hundred Irish 
cmierents were deprived of their lodgings — about one 
hundred and thirty families! 

And — three carpenters' shops, locatvd in difTert'ot 
peits of the eily, were burnt down in Philadelphia in one 
night— -manifestly by de8i};n; and, probably, havine some 
connection with the late "strikes." The mayor had is- 
sued a proclamation on the subject. 

There has been a great and calamitous fire at Cliarles- 
ton, S. C. It broke out in the morning of the 6th inst 
at half i>ast twelve, A. M. on the west side of Meeting 
street, and ended not its ravages until about two hundred 
buildings were destroyed — some few of them lai'ge brick 
imnsions, but chieflv two story frame houses — four en- 
tire squares hounded by Market and IlHsell streets, on 
(lie south and north. Meeting street on the west, and 
Maiden lane and Anson street on tlic east, with the ex- 
ception of the brick dwelling house belonging to and oc- 
oiipied by Mr. Samuel Lord, in Maiden I^nc,— being 
eousiimed, and hundreds of i>ersons rendered homeless 
and houseless. It is |>erhaps, (says tlie Courier) the 
most calamitous fire that has ever rarage<l and desolated 
our eity — tiiat of October 9, 181U, may have approachc<l 
it in extent of ground, but the present calamity has fallen 
on a large proportion of tliosc in moderate or nee<ly cir- 
cumstances. 

Fill^ steerage passengers went back to Europe, in the

These are not tlie sort of people that we like to part

and vagrants, ami rogues and villains, of a high or low 
grade, that have been npeTtced on our sliores. 

It affonls us great s:ttisfaction to sav, that, so far, the 
number of emigrants who liave reachcif the ITuited States, 
in the present season, is very small. So also in Canada.

ty dollars a year for tuition, and no more than nfly for

student's substituting, in tho room of It, labor 00 the 
farm. Four thousand acres are in meadow, vhieh the

A most afllicliiig casualty occum»d at West Point on

Iwo of the cadets were fencing together, the button of 
one of the foils broke in making u Innge, and the foil en- 
tired the eye aiid the lu-«in of ciidct Carfer, of Va. He 
survived the wound only a few hours. The state of mind

ftSS 



ymiih • Mrofulout disease which rebialcd all the onlinary 
eSbrti of ine<liciiie. Al'ttr cxhauAiiii^ liix mcuiis of siip- 
IKM^and still lingering wilh vihai uks called uiiinciii-able 
diaesae, lie was taken lu the Peniisvlvaiiia hospit:)!. While 
tliere, he prepared a medicine, the use o( w Inch soon re- 
atored him to perfect health, with his conblitulioii uii- 
ini|MUred. Having cured himself, Mr. Sreuiin coniineuc- 
ed the preparation of his pa!vac£a for the henefit of uihers. 
It immediately ocquii-cd reputalion in Philadelphia, and 
but B alunrt time elapsed befoix> the iiilorntaiiun of its 
Itealiag ▼irCuet spread through the union. Soon, too, its 
lame orosaed the Atlantic, and Mr. Hvaiin was solicited 
bj the government of England, to proceed to London, (as 
hie did) and administer his /Mi;uicea to some of the mem- 
ben of the royal family. For the last twelve years, the 
repmalionof'this panacea has been rapidly extending. 
The amount sold is wrholly unpreccdcnlcd. ' The profits 
of the proprietor have been enormous, his but a few 
mODtha aincc wc heard of Mr. Hvaiin's purchasing an 
entire and valu.ible block in the heart of the city. Now 
he appears as the purchaser of a splendid $1UO,000 hall. 
We frequentlv, and with great vitisfaction, find his name 
anoeialed wiUi the charities of Philadelphia. Perhaps, 
in the history of the world, there is not an other instance 
of tnch an extraordinary change of destiny and of foi^- 
tune— an instance where a man has been i-aised from ex- 
treme poverty and hopeless disease, to sound health and 
prineelj fortune! Mysterious indeed are the ways of a 
Providenec which raised from his dying pallel'in the 
PtannaylTania hospital, a (latient upon whom the golden 
mantle of STiraxsr Giuaru seems to have fallen! 
[Mbany JH^emn^r Journal. 

The JWv York ^imerican^ in reply to certain things 
Md in die official paper of **lhe government,'* says — 

What, we would B»k, haii "(lie president's pttHonal honor" 
CD te wilb Uie auti^jfeci — or how can it b« tiMicbed by any deci 
•ion on il? Let u« analyse ihe mailer a btile: 

Bf the eoastiiutiou llie prciiidt.ni is required to submit to 
conuwaa any suggestion lie niuy drciu expidicnt, touching ihc 
pnblle ialfefest. At Uie opening of tin* lusi ciui;;ichii, in confor- 
■itj triib HsagA he sent hiM aniiaal nieM^agr— and in thai part 
<if iff whicli treated ou French utldirs, he adviiifd in a ct'riaui 
conlinfaaey, a resort to rcpiiiMli*, an ihe be»t uinUe, in hm Judg- 
■Mnt« of obuluing indemnity from Fiance. 

In Ihia rrcomanendaimn, there wa4 no act implicating "per- 
•onal lM>oor'*or character, but a mere compliance wiih a cun- 
Mlmiioiial provision. It was an czercitie of executive didcre 
-aad as sucli — and not as a connnand which uiielit not be 
r quffstiooed, or di»obpy<-d— the ^useefttion was received, 
and Tijtcied by both koHsc$ of eongrctt. If the pre- 
Dor" were at make in tlii4 matter, it is the congress 
)le of Uie United Stales, and not the French chamber, 
lai nave called it in <|iie»tion. Dut there i>« no such thing, 
ad te is only another evidence of how far we are already gone 
I dw habit of considering great publte qmr^tion* as they may 
" iy agree ibly or otherwise, the executive magi<rtrate — and not 
I their general merits, or u|Kin their probable influence on 
I happiness or character of (he people— that any one should 
have thooglit, in the disussion of vuch a qupxtinn as this, ofal- 
lading to the perMinal reelings of the president. lie did hi>^ 
datf aa Im undurstiH>d it, in making the rt:cnmmendation of re- 
nrlMla. Congress did theirs, as they underi«iood it, in reject 
lai this recoBDieodalion; neither paity is held to be inralli.ible^ 
•I hooie; and certainly the country is not desirous to plunge 
ialD diaealties with foreign nations to establish the inralhbili^ 
ly of either, abroad. 

With rriard to the '*explanatinn,*'--not "apology," as the 
IHoba, with its vsual ad eaplandum unrsirness parades in capi 
lala— aslrcd by the French chamber, wc can see n^^ difficulty 
whaiaver, if the will be not wuiitiuK, on our Hide. We admit 
Itat tlM French chambtr>-artrr vuiing the indemnity on ih** 
pnnai that It was Ja«t,and that the language of ihe president's 
iva» not, as was snrceH.-'fuily pressed by the French 
, addrened to France, and could not, therefore, bn 
1 aa Intentionally f>irensive to the nation— were 
t wilh themselves, in still insiMing upun an ez- 
I nf his language; but liaviim done so — what more na 
, more usual, evt-n amonc hieh spirited individuals, 
irif what more proper, beiwet- n coverninfiitrt, which 
WO fanpenooalitles, than to diAclaiiu, on our pan. any purpose 
of oAuMty when, in truth, none such was entciUined. 

The following interesting law case is copied from the 
Booton»ftfa»^ 

U. 0. dnwdt eourtf May 35, 1835. The four English seamen, 
Brown. Bryant, Owen, and Wilkinson, found guilty, on Friday 
kartf or a revolt, or refXisal to do duty, on board the whale 
) Franklin, were brought up this morning to receiv«i sen 




taneo. On being asked by Judge Buiry what they had to sa^ 
§at IhMMf Ivoa, tbay all rose auccesaivcly, aad in simple, but 



ciiikitiaiic language, described the biuul manner in which they 
li jid l^een treated by the captain. Two nf them delivered them- 
■>trlki'>' in tetins ai once copious and coriect, and their defenea 
»<'! iiii-d lu have u consideiable effect upon the court and au- 
duties-. When they had concluded, judge Story remaiked he 
liaii hesen struck, throughout the case, with ihe impmiier and 
tjrMiiii conduct of the capiaiu; but the prisoners had done 
vvnjni; in taking the luw into ihrir own hands, and the jury had 
citn^'quenily done right in convicting them. It was important 
I'ur ihiMii uiid oilier seamen now to understand thai tlie law 
Un*\ r'.-dresH lor them and would redress them on tlieir arrival 
hi p*}Tt, until which tune they ought in all cases to remain 
qiaut and proceed wilh their duty. The learned Judge strongly, 
eiji^aored the conduct of ilie captain in knocking down Wilkin- 
son at Uie helm, ihiis leaving the vessel at the mercy of the 
w-AVes and (ndangering the hafeiy of all on board. He repeat- 
vii th-iii Ihe prisoners had done wrong in acting as they had, 
btit Biniid he would not pnniBh men extravuKantly who had 
lii>4,'ii iliiven to the commission of ofleoces by ihe bad conduct 
i^fUf^ix officers. He hhould sentence iheiu to 7 days imprison- 
nt'-Kt and to pay a fine of^l each. 

'1 hi: prisoners appeared grateful for the lenity with which 
Elt+y were treated; but after consulling a little together, one of 
ilii'jij exclaimed:— "But y*r honor, what are we to do ab«Mit 
ihni dollar; we've got no money." A subscription was imme- . 
diiitely entered into by the gentlemen of Uie bar, and the 
uinciuol of the flne raised in a few moments. Judge Story ex- 
pri'iv^ed his gratification at what he saw, and suggested to (he 
dirririrt attorney (Mr. Mills) to remit the fine altogether, telling 
him that this had been in some cases the course of bis prede- 
Qfv*ot». The dirtrict attorney expressed his willingness, to 
(tiUnw such an example, paiiicularly in Uiis case, and the flne 
wa.3 lemiUed. 

Tiir. EARTnquAKE. The disires«ing inlelligrnce from Chili 
ofilie destruction of the country around the city of Conception 
pr^Nluced great sensation in this town and vicinity. Talcahna- 
iia, tlie port of ConccpUon, which bos been entirely destroyed, 
u .a ttir place where many of the whaling ships in Uie I'acifle 
LJi^tsir have repaired and recruited; and Ibe loss of the privi- 
leget which the port affordi'd is very great. 

Jtw-as rumored there, during the flr»l week in March, that 
numUft mountain had burst forth in volcanic fury. TlieAndea 
itiiil Uordilleras. now present numerous active volcanoes fmos 
Cn^ir Horn to Mexico. And it is stated in Blackwell's Geolo- 
ey* timi the whole range, in alt probability, owe their elevation 
10 p>uliteranean fire; for we have recent ini>iances of the mighty 
fH^wi-r of this agent to upheave the cru^t nf the globe. During 
Ihe earthquake in Chili in November, 1H±2, the whole line of 
rri4-t runninc north and south from Valparaiso to the distance 
of line hundred miles, was raised oliove its former level; and 
ihi' hriltom of the sea was laid dry, and shells were discovered 
liitrking to the riK'ks, some of which were not before known to 
I'nj-i in those seas. It is stated by an observer that the whole 
rinmriy from the coast to the foiii of Uie Andes, and even du 
mil to sea, was permanenily raised by the earthquake; the great- 
v^t nse was almut two miles from Uie shore. The earthquake 
wsn f^stiinated to have extended over an area of one hundred 
trifHi^^and miles. The average rise of the land upon the coast 
wnj from two to Ave feet, at a distance of a mile from the 
MU^ri^; inland the elevaUun was seven feet. Such were the «f- 
tVeid of the earUiquake in 1893— but perhaps quite incompara- 
ble with those of the one in I&35. [A^eic Bedford Gaxettt* 

The New Bedford Mercury states that several weeks 
previous to the first shock of the late destructive eaith- 
qtiuke at Conception, two large volcanoes hurst out on 
tilt.' Noulhern ridge of the range of mountains known by 
t^he luimc of the **CorderiHies,** and at the last accounts 
f^tintLiiued to emit lar^e volumes of smoke and lava, to 
liie terror of the inhabitants of the neighboring proviiicea. 
Hn^ destruction of towns and Yillagea extended sixty 
miles iu Uie interior. 

\V\\\\ respect to that bold measure, the emancipation 
of llie slaves in the Hritish West Indies, we lia^e the 
following contradictory statements: 

In the house of lords, March 17, the carl of Mulgrave holds 
the rollowiiig laniuage: — *'Uiose who were most sanguine of 
LiMi success nf that measure, ',ihe emancipation of Uie oeeroes) 
>tn[ird tlint they would take ihe first crop as a criterion whether 
r>r not that portion of lal>or under the apprentice sysieoi and 
ih€ additional hours given to the laborer, secured a sufficiency 
'vf Inbor fur the cultivation of suear. He was happy to state, 
ffOiti the tourcea of intellitence u-hich he poMcsseJ, in fact from 
aii quartcTit he understood that in almoU every pUue, ynthotit 
cjrc Fp/ion, iu0icietU labor wa* afforded to enable them to carry on 
iht cultivation of tuiar.^* The hon. William Miller, custos of 
\iM* r>ari»h of Trelawny, in Jamaiea, in his adilresn, at a recent 
iner^cing of proprietors, planters, and others eoncernrd in Iha 
oMongement nf planiation* in that parish, slated: — "That he

The ttaCe of thmn ai Pari*, n* to the American indemnityr 
•oeaia still involved in difficulties— hut we cannot clearly un 
defstand Ibe inAy or wherefore of them. 

Wc bad thiMi|$ht that the uiinif^ter* accepted the amendment

iaiportaaca whatever— to quiet Hie npirii of ilie op|M>«iiion anrl

appears that some ndvanta^t* will be taken of it, to brew new 
troobles, if powible. In thi« we think that a diHapiHiiiitmeni 
will follow. 

A laucr to the editor of the New York Courier, dated the 19iii 
April, says— 

At tbe ciMe of yertcrd.iy'i silting of the chamber of deputien, 
ttaa Asneiican question wa^ finally di.<poKt:d 01. the law haviiia

tha law includes an amenduicnt pmpoted by general Valaze« 
aari adopted by mininterM, almoci identical with that of M- Ley

lina. Tbe articles itandti finally aj< foIinwH: 

Tka ailalster of finance irf uiiihori^ed to take the nccetiinry

tssaty signed on Uie 4ih of July, lri3l, between the king of the

to which a som of 35,0IK},UUU ik payable by Frnnee.

Tbe same offlcial papi:r, ilie Jiniiual den I)i'bat« of the innra- 
laf, contains a prominent ieaUniK nfliclu which 1 shall conteni 
■yself with oaoiing another obnervaiion. 

■*One word before concluding. .Mr. Livinxstnn was to have 



I France with all hii« Iwnation. if the treaty was not adopt- 
ed- It Is now adopted by the chamber of deputies and will 
■OOB be, we hope, by the chamber of peers. Perhaps however 
Mr. Uviagston will tttill think it necesoary to go to render an 
aeeoaat la person to bis government of all that has paxfed, in 
ardor that he may not aitaln expose himself to the inronve- 
■laaca of having his correspondence published. Perhaps, aho, 
Iha American government will think it liKlit not to send him 
hack to France, in order to spare her the inevitable embarrass 
meat wbhsh Mr. Livingston muiti experience at Parii*, after the 
written eipressions attributed to hint in the course of the de 
bale. We do not blame the American government for having 
cleea ao complete and so pmmin a publicity to Mr. Livingstone 
HUcr* Ferhap* it was demanded by the forms and practice of 
her InsCitatlonB; but such a publicity muHt often have the efTeci 
lonwketbe sacrifice of individual' oexoiiators indiHpensabie, 
k being impassible to require Ibat a neemmtor, who haif spoken 
pebilely ill of the country to which he i-* accredited, should con- 
daae to be well ret:eived in the country he has ofTendi'd. These 
are the reasons which induce us to bM»k upon the longer stay of 
Mr. Llvii^ion, in Paris, as very difficult, and his return as ve> 
ly aacertain." 

Tbe Cbnstilii/ioiinel of tbe SOth April remarks that Mr. LIv 
Ingeion appears d<-stlned to pay the cost of the making up of the 
qaarrel beiweeu France and the United 9inte»i. No sooner waa 
tbe dtoeasaion closed, than the Jonmnl de$ Debuts signified to 
llim that Im was ill pl.iced at Paiir,and that he would find him- 
aelf really embarrassed, after having publicly sp«iken ill 01 



kance, aad ia tbe most persuaxive tone, urged him promptly 
«a retire, end not to return. Mr. Livingston might, probably, 
have tuned a deaf ear to bis counsel if a powerfuJ auiillary 



had not come to the succor of the doctrinnry repugnance. The 
gnvernment of the United ritates instructed us minister to re- 
tire either to England or Holland immediately after the vote of 
thc4>ill, and to rui*ign hJ4 ptiwers to Mr. Barton. Our cabinet 
therefore, may make a show of energy without peril, and bold- 
ly demand the removal of a man who, probably, made his pre- 
parations for departure immediately alter the silting of Satur- 
day. All Ibis is wretched. If the reparation required by our 
cabinet m to Ktf»p here, the chamber will have cause to regret 
having afti^igned the care of French honor to Ute keeping of o 
ministry so easy to satisfy. We agree with the />e6u/«, that, 
after what has passed, that the cabinet cannot continue its re- 
lations with Mr. I^ivingiiton, but ihe conntry requires a more 
signal haiisluciiim than the equivocal dit-graee of an ambassador. 
.Alter all, .Mr. liiving^iim has only done his task a» a diploma- 
tist, and his duty a^ an .American, and we cnnid, (lerhnps, Und 
I more than one mealy inonthed ambaf^sador, who fitands well at 
' eourt, that might be convicted of more irrevereniial di^idam of 
[ the French government than the fiank languoge of Mr. Living- 
ston. The iiihult to France ih not m the conOdtniial letters 
^ llieinselves but in the publiiNition of ihem by the presnlenl, and 
still more in the pre^iidentN inesitage. When he insullid and 
thrt-aiened, it was the .American nHinm speaking by hiK inoutht 
and the calculated silence ol congress wn» neiilier a ri trarlion 
nor a reparation, it is, therefore, from the government of the 
United States, in thi person of its president, that saiiKfuction 
ought to be obtained. Such is Ihe intenintn of ihe amendment 
adopted by the chamber. Assuredly, the part our cabinet has 
to act is easy. With such a government as that of the United 
Sti«iei<, which prise money so much, thirty millions will lead to 
many sai-rillees of amour propre. 

The iluolultenne (violent opposition Carlift) of the SOth April, 
besx pardon of the conntry for having enteriained so good an 
opinion of the chamber, as to iinn|{>>i'! that the majority for the 
ndiqiiioii of the bill would not be so great nt thai for the rejec- 
tion of M. Uignon's amendment. Gen. Vulaze*s amendment 
was nd«ipii d for form's sake, but now the money is voted, can 
it be ^nppo<ed that a covernmenl like that of America, will re- 
fii-e ex|ilan:iii(fii.s.' lli:sides, it knows with what a government 
it has 10 do, and it will give thei.e explanation-i, wiihonl doubt, 
III terms agreed upon and prepared befiirehand. It known that 
the cabinet of the palai-i royal is ni»t dilRcnlt. If the American 
government had the least generosity, it would not explain at all; 
this would bn a fresh insult that it niigbi spare iis. For what 
can it i>ny? That it is sorry for the ^\.^\i of the face that prewi 
di'nt Jaekjion has given to France. We would rather that the 
Americana khould lake the money we do not owe them without 
saying a word. 

The New York American, aflcr discrediting the asveriion at- 
tributed by the French opponition papers to Mr. Livingston, 
that his return to Washington would be the signal of hostilities, 
adds: "it nMMt not be dissuined, however, from our rend*-rs, 
that Mr. Ltrin-ffon, n* we. have from private but anthenfic 
soiiices, the certain a4^||rance — considers the provum in ques- 
tion, to nearly tantamouut to a rejection of the indemnity^ that 
he I'eeiri himself bound by the spirit of his iiMtnictions to return 
in the CnnMituiicm to ibe United Siatcit— which frigate there- 
f>ire may be honri) lnoked for." 

On the other hand, Ihe French minif^ters ar<' d*'«irnnR to avert 
all diffieuliy, as the following exiraet ftom a letter, written by 
a gentleman who is not at all likely to be miftaken, will show: 

Extract of a letter from Paris, dated April '>i>d, lKi5. <'Tbe 
il'>parture of Mr. Livingiitm for America will doubtless occasion 
iniieh speculation. I can give yon the pojitive assurance, how- 
ever, as received from .M. de Rroglie through my friend M. Jay 
and others, that ministers attach not the slightest importance 
to the amendment of which you will hear so much. They are 
(-aid M. de llroglie) perfectly satisfied with the explanations 
already given by Mr. Liviiigi«ton,and ih<-y propose submitting an 
amicable note at TVanhington^ inviting the U. States govern- 
ment to confirm these explanations. 

"It is simply to comply with the decHon of the chsmber as 
imposed on them, for the purpose of protecting them before tbe 
chamber. Mr. Livingston, however, lakes a rcry differtni view 
of the case." 

[We do not believe that Mr. Lirinttton has fufTered his views 
of ihii matter to come before Ihe public. He is too wise a man, 
nnd prudent a diploinatii>t for thai.] 

Some of the papers state that the king of France Intended to 
send out general Kernard, on a confidential missinu to the 
American gnvernment. 

The .Vafional of April 98, says— 

"i?leveral Journals have announced that the American indem- 
nity bill would be brought to the chamber of peers without ibe 
amendment of general Valazo. To-day it was presented to 
that chamber, and the minii'ter boldly asserted that the amend- 
ment of the depfities was the expression of his own feelings on 
the subject. 'Never,* said he, 'should we have thought of pay- 
ing twenty five millions to America, without having previous- 
ly obtained some satisfaction for the words and manner in 
whieh the claim was made, however founded it may othrrwlse 
be.»»» 

A letter to the New York Commercial Advertiser obserre^^ 

The strong reaionn for wishing to avoid that calamity, [wag 
with the irniied Siatfs] on the part of France, would incline 
her governmi'iit to listen to explanations, If not the most hnn»-

THK LINK DRAW.N! 

me ba^ at la«t arnvcd when a broad line will bn drawn 
I tbe fffieuds of regular viate aud notional noiniuailon*, 
enemies of lioth on the other. 'J*he colors have be- 
Me and more dimincl every day for the last six montiis, 
/cifVai have now finished Uie whole by hoihting Uieir 
pposniOD to the Dsliiaiore conveuUon, and uioclaimiug 
Ibbor admiial of the WHITE. 

f be Isid down as ■ truth which we have no hesitation 
iag that tbe lapae of two yiisra will confirm, that ALL 
'ocate the sham nomination of George Wolf, auert the 
tbe Wolf dricgate* to a seat in the Daliimore couven- 
Mi any other footing than that ('f courtesy, and support 
ioa« electoral ticfcvi fidmed by the 7ih of March csu- 
*m by these acu ceaned to be deinourau, and are the 
t tBemies of the whole di-niocratic |»aify. 
reasons are plain— lli<*y sinke at the vi*ry existence of 
ly with which they have hitherto acted. The guat head 
tarty, Andrew JackiFon, haii CIpre^tscd bin opinion une- 
Uy Ml favor of national c-onventionn: yet the friends of 
Wolf, after taking part in its dclilieration*, and appa- 
oncarring in the noniinatlonfi, rc«ist one of it* most im- 
aad emphatic recoinineu<laiion». 
strike at Mariin Van Uureu, who trat unaoimously no- 
I by the national convention, and U the favorite candi- 
FeBii>ylvania, and wlMwe friends will not I'upport an 
il ticket which tlie uuiinnal convention declared to be 
d ^pvrioMS. 

Irm<icratlc pany, however, have reasons to be thankful 
IHend« and partifans of George Wolf, for thiowing off 
fgiiife so early. They have i>eeu long sutipected of being 
i Doyn*'— but every doubt upon the i^ubject niuat vanitth, 
«y liave openly proclaimed their unaltered and unaller- 
cntion of supporting an %hcioral ticket, which may give 
e to White, but can never give it to Van Buren. 
e nsatler of ihe electoral ticket, therefore, as in that of 
viMtuwn convention, they shrink from the people— they 
A liice them— and if there were nothing el^e to rhow it, 
Ireumstauces would be enough to prove that they bad 
irily censed to be democrat*. The line \* therefore clear- 
'a, and every Wolf man may hereafter pass for a whig, 
uoo or ** White boy," but never can be considered a de- 

Bvery uoliticul manager in the state, makes "de- 
tt"for nimself. He 7ias a patent right to do so.

ff'aahington. May 89IA, 1835. 
Gbrtlbmin: I have the honor to acknowledgie the re» 
ceipt of your letter of the S3d insUnt. l*he nomination 
you have been deputed to announce to me ]>reseiits the 
only contingency, upon the occurrence of which, I could 
consent to become a candidate for the high office of pre- 
sident of the United Sutes. Wlicii my name was first 
associated with the question of general Jackson's succes- 
sor, more through the ill-will of opponents than the 
partiality of friends, I determined to wait for the deve- 
lopment of the views of the republicans of the union, and 
to pursue that course only which their unbiassed judg- 
ment should finally recommend. 1 deemed tliat course 
to be due to the administration, of which I was a mem- 
ber—to the best interests of tlie country — and to the in- 
divisibilitv of a politieal party, by the original orpniza- 
tion of which, the ovcrllii-ow of republican principles in 
the United States uas pit;vented, and U|»oii tfie ascendsoi- 
cy of which wc can alone deiiend for their preservation. 
1*0 the offers of support which were at that period occa- 
sionally made to me fi-om different auarters of tlie union, 
I respectfully replied, that the public good* in my opi- 
nion, required the services or general Jackson for a 
second term,— that the agitation of the question of bia 
successor, at that early period, must of necessity embar- 
rass the administration — and that it was my desire that 
my name should not be connected with the subjeet. 
From that time fo the present, I have neither solicited 
the aid nor sought the suppoit of any man in reference 
to the high office for which I have been nominated; un- 
less my replies to interrogatories from my fellow-citi- 
zens upon public questions, and my sincere endeavors to 
make myself worthy of the respect and confidence of the 
American |ieople, are liable to tlwt construction. For 
the truth of this declaration, 1 can safely appeal to the 
hundreds of honorable men who composetl the recent ^ 
convention — to the numerous editors and politiciAna '<; 
throughout the union, who have distinguished me bj 
their preference, and to my |irivate correspondents, and 
intimate friends, not exceiiting the considerable number 
of persons, once mj^ friends and associatea, whom th« 
fluctuations of political life have converted into oppo- 
nents. In none of these classes, or In any other of our 
community, is there a man who can truly say, that I have 
solicited his political support, or that 1 have entered or 
sought to enter with him into any arrangement, to bring 
about the nomination which I have now received, or to se- 
cure my elevation to the chief magistracy of my eouii* 
try. 

The liberal men of all parties, I trust, and jou and 
those you represent, 1 am sure, will pardon me for hav- 
ing thus spoken of my own conduct in reference to a 
point upon which I have been the silent object of attaek, 
as causeless as it has been violent and unremitted! espe- 
cially, as I alone can answer for it in relation to all mj 
countrymen, although thousands may be ready to answer 
in relation to themselves. 

Under tliese circumslaiiees, the democracy of the na- 
tion in convention assembled, having, as you inform me, 
with a degree of unanimity that 1 cannot too highly ap- 
preciate, pronounced me worthy of so great a trust, I 
cannot hesitate in making their wishes the rule of my 
condnct 1 do, therefore, with a deep, and 1 hope abid- 
ing sense of the honor eonfcrre<] npon me by their pre- 
ference, accept the nomination which has been tendered 
to me by the convention. 

I am not aware that there is any point of interest in 
tlie general policy of the federal government. In respeet 
to wnieh, iny opinions iMve not been made known by ny 
official acts — by my own public avowals, and by the au- 
thorised explanations of my friends. If there be any 
such, however, you may rest assured of mr ready dispo- 
sition to complv, on all suitable oceasfons, with the 
wishes of my feflow-citizens in this regard. I content 
myself, on this occasion, with saying, that 1 eonsider 
mvself the lioiiored instrument, selected hj the friends 
of the tirescnl administration, to carry out its principles 
and policy; and that as well from inclination as from 
duty, I sli'all, if hoiioi'ed with the choice of the Ameri- 
can' people, endeavor to tread generally in the fooMept 
of preaident Jackson— happT If I shall be able to perfect 
the work which he hai so gloriously begun.

fVom the Philiidrljthia Inquirer. 

By an arrival at this port we have ref'ular files of Kinsnton, 
iaauiica. papers to the 17th ult. Tlie pruclanialion of the go- 
vernor, declaring the slave* of the Urand Caymanas to lie "ab- 
•dately aod ancoudiftonully free," had produced considerable 
•scflement. Addresning hinnelf to the slave ownern, lord Sligo 
aajre— "That there is an apparent hnrdiihip In the caiie, as far 
•• your not having the same advantages in the service as ap- 
prenlicea, of your former slaves, 1 freely admit. I also admit 
Omi the non- registration of the slaves was no culpable neglect 
of yoarown, as the law did ni»t prexeribe the neceshity of vour 
■o doing. Then, however, the undoubted construction of^ the 
abolition act is, thai all uiirecifitred slaves khall become ab- 
■olutely and unconditionally fre«>, and that you have no claim 
apon the services of tlMwe who were formerly apprentices." 
Addieaeing himself to the slaves, he says— 

**New duties devolve upon jou with the new position you 
aaw oecupy, aod I ho|»e that, by the stcadinesN of your con- 
t and your p«'areable demeanor, you will prove that this 
feat of all earthl> bcmntc has not lieen unworthily bestowed 
I you. You muHt now entirely depend upon your own in- 
aaoCn' for support. You must recollect that you have now no 
peraon to feed you— no person to cloUir vou— no periion to rive 
yy medical assistance, if you are ill. Vou inunt drpi*nd upon 
yovr own exertions for all these things. You have no irouuds 
orhoaaeeof your own; those you hnve herciofore iiccupied 
■act now be given up to their nwnf ry, your former masters, 
wboee property they are— all brlnng to hint, exceptinc your 
fliraiinre, clothes and the cropii you have now in the ground. 
Tbeee you have a right to remove to where you may please to 
■0, if you mean to do so; but I irunt that a sense of what i« so 
daodedly your own interests, will induce you to offer to your 
icMiBer masters such equivalent either in labor or money, as 
will indoce him to leave you hi the uuiet occupation of your 
gfwinda and home. 

The Jamaica Deapatrh describes the act of the governor as 
aaa of "unparalleled robbery— a flue sauiple of whig atrocity 
aad villany^~and adds: 

Bobbery in every shape is detestable, and we condole with 
the inhabJtants of the Caymanas for two reasons. The robbery 
In admitted, but to be taunted with it in bad Enalish is insup 
portable. The iohabilanta of the Caymanas submitted to the 
■poUation witit decorum and dignity! Decorum and dignity 
with a vengeance! but we are not told the whole farce took 
place under the guns of the Forte frigate, the Sf rpent brig of 
war, and the bayoneu of two companies of the 87ih regiment, 
and ibe marinea of the two ships!'* 

A letter from Barbadoes sayi»:

■ftem ie working well in this inland, it is a duty which we 
laepecifolly owe to each other that the delusion is removed,

*'I am truly sorry to inform you that there cimtinues a great

THE BRITISH AM) TIIK CHINESE. 

The following is a petition from the British merchant*, lie. 
in China, to the British king, prayiug the adoption of energeiie 
lnea^ures, to correct the ubuses on the part of the Chinese au- 
thorities. They have certainly a right— a ntUural and inditfmt^ 
able right— to fcirhid all commerce between their people and 
any others, whai>ot:vcr; but having prrntiitfd it, they ought to 
conduct themselves niodrrately and modestly. It is certainly 
within the power of Creat Britain to cut off the exterior trade 
of China, (lor they are miserable seamen)— but they have no 
right i» force a trade with that countiy, and agnin<it its consent; 
and, getting witMlom from the proceedings of the British in In- 
dia, wc do not at all diKnppioveof the care with which the Ctii- 
nese exclude foreiifiierj from her soil, t^n it is, also, with ih« 
Jujiuuete- and both are rich and very iNipulons countries. 
To the king*$ mott ej-ccllent majesty in couitril: 

ThK pi'litioii of liiu uiideruientioueJ British subjects at Can- 
ton Auffi&/^ $heueth — 

Your petitioners, therefore, humbly prny that your mnjea^r 
will he plea!<i>d to jgranl p«}wers plenipotentiary to »uch person 
of suitable rank, discretion and diplomatic experience, as your 
inaj*^siy, in your wImIoui may think fit and proper to be In- 
trusted with such nuihorily; and your petitioners would suggeat 
that he be directed to proceed to a convenient station on tha 
eastcoaiit of (Jhinn, as near to the capital of the country aa 
may be found nio>t expedient, in one of your majesty's ships of 
the line, attended by a sufficient maraiime force, which we are 
of opinifin ne«>d not consMt of more than two frigates, and three 
or four armed vesM-ls of light draft, together with a steam veo- 
sel, all fully maiined; that he may, previously to landing, re- 
quire, in the flr>ii instance, in the name of ynur majesty, ample 
repnr.ition for the incults offered by the governor of Kwangtung 
nnd KwaiigKe in his (>dicis publislied on the occasion of lord 
Napier's arrival at <.'aiiton, and the subsequent humiliating 
conduct pursuf d toward-* IiIh lordship, to which Ihe aggravation 
of his illness and death may be attributed; as well as fbr lb* ar- 
rogant and degrading language need towards your majesty and 
oui country in edicts emanating from the local authnritiee, 
wherein your maJe^ty was repreM>nied as the **reverently sub- 
miioive'* tributaiy of the emperor of China, and your majesty *e 
subjects as protfigHte Imrbiirians. and thAt they be retracted, 
and nt-ver ogain einphiyed as Chinese functionaries; that he 
may also deniand ri'fMrution for the insult ofTered to ynor ma- 
jesty's flag by filing on your maji'styV slii|is of war from the 
fortii at the Bojfue, and that remuneration shall lie made to your 
maje-ty's siihji'i-ti> lur the liMfes they have suittoiaed by the de- 
tention of their ships during the stoppage of their trade. Alter 
these preliniiiiariec hhall have been cmcidrd, (as your petition- 
ers have no doubt they will be), and not till then, your peti- 
tioneiii humbly sngcsi that it will be expedient for >our u^ca- 
ty's plenipotentiary to pru|M»tie the appointment of commission- 
ers on the |iart of the ( -liiueHe government to adjust with him, 
on shore, such ineaxures as may he deemed most effectual to 
the prevention of future occnfion of complaint and misunder- 
standing, and for the proinoiion and extension of the trade ge- 
nerally, to the niiitunl advantage of Imih countries. Your pe- 
titioner:! believe, that if these matters shall he fairly reuresenl- 
ed, so as to do away with all reasimablo ohji^tion, and tlie fa- 
vorite inrlinntion of tht. (Chinese cimimisfioners be gained, 
there will b4> fnund little disposition on the part of the supreme 
government to withhold itH assent, and every desirable object 
will thus have b««en attained. 

Your petitioners would humbly entreat your majesty's favor^ 
able view of the^e suggestions, in the confidence that they may 
be acted upon, not only with evi-ry prospect of succeso, but 
wiilinnt the slightest danger to the existing commercial Inter- 
enurae. Inasmuch, as even with a force, not exceeding that 
which we hnve proposed, placed at the disposal of your mejea* 
ty's plenipotentiary, there would be no difficulty, should pro- 
ceeding* of a compuljnry nature be required, in putting a stop 
to the greater part of the external and internal commerce of the 
Chinese empire; In intercepting its revenues in their pnigresa 
to the capital, and in taking pussession of all the armed veeeete 
of the country. Surh measures would not only be aofficieni to 
evince both the power and epirit of Great Briuin to rMtnl In-

I k«vt m»mf NSMNM to believe tbet my poilticml and peraon- 
•I IHaadii who oeewy eeau fa congreee, will regard with con- 
tMspt On opiBton oi uia aaibor of the *'lmporUnt Qumiion.** 
TlMjr afe perfectly aeqaalnled with me, and know thai there it 
bac one kind orambiuun in my heart, and that it unlimited— 
Ibe ambiUoii to preaerve ui the laie«ii day of my life, the r^pu- 
UUoii ofa magiairate raithfni to his duty, n public man of pro 
Miy, and a aincere Trirnd of the republican ^yntem. And these 
fmada are atill more the frienda of the counuy than o( myseir. 
I have oOen maintained the opinion, in opposition to the po- 
HtieaJ vertlfo which once seiaed upon Mime of my fellow citi- 
■MWy that ao man i« necenary to the country, but that we all 
■Bay be more or leie useful according tocircumstancen. I have 
■Iwaya repmbated the deatgna of ambition, concealed under the 
■aatle m hypoenay; I have not been deluded by prominet 
which were denied by actions, and I have drclaimed against 
Uie waat of good feith and sincerity in statesmen. I should act 
ia oppoaitlON to these practices, and mark mjraelf with indelli- 
Me blot, if by any means, 1 should express approbation of the 
oplDlon of the author of the "Important Uuestinn." 

I therefore protest, in the nio«t solemn manner, that I have 
BO purt in sach an opinion, that I regard it ai* impolitic, impru- 
dent and little to the honor of New Grenada; that, as far aa it 
■My be in my power, i ahali oppose the amendment of the 
IMH, and any other article of the constitution, which may tend 
■vbatantially to change its provijiionx; and that, as it is not for 
By hoaor, aor ny political Interests, nor for my country, that i 
riKMild remain in the presidency an hour beyond the term fixed 
la tlie 103d article. It shall be relit ioudly and punctually obey- 
ed. A poblie career of twenty- five years gives me a right to 
•, that my countrymen will see in these promises so many 
ne guaranieea of my ftiture actions. 
if Biy continuance in office, which throws upon me a great 
and coctinual weight of public business, the injury sustained 
by ny health, and other causes not nece^nnry to be explained, 
lead nae to doabt whether it will be posi*ible for me to complete 
my present cfmstitutional term, how can 1 think of prolonging 
b with detriment to myself and to my country? 

The flriends of liberty and my own friends need not feci ap- 
prabeaafona. I shall never give them even the least reason to 
doabt of tlM sincerity of my principles. The enemies of the 
fovaraaieat aiay undeceive ihemxelves, if they have intended 
loeoaad me on the "Important Quefition," and to alarm the 
paeple to prepare them for a revolution. The I02d article of 
tlie conatitoiion, shall be as immuuble as my resolution, never 
fo avail myself of any opportunity which may be legally offered 
aM, In remain In the government Inneer than the 1st of April, 
1837. The glory of leaving the presidency by a legal course, to 
withdraw to the enjoyment of my home and family, I would 
HOC eiclwnge for any other ilury on earth. Wavhiiigton has 
alwaya been to me an object of veneration, and a prototype 
which I have ardently desired to imiute. A solitary opportu- 
nity iMs presented itself in my life, in which 1 might fulfil my 
d«4res; and It ia the present. To disregard it would be the 
height of folly. General Paex has imitated it before me, he- 
caasa in the order of time it must be so; but I hope to deprive 
Mm of the glory of being the only imitator in America, and fer- 
vvatly desire that all who may in future preside over New 
Grenada, may alito deprive me of that which Providence is pre- 
nariag for me on the 1st of April, 1837. 

FRANCISCO DB P. SANTANDER. 
Jiagola, 101* March, 1835. 



MANUFACTURES AND COMMERCE OF ITALY. 
TiM chief manufactures of Italy are silks in Lombardy, Pied- 
mont, Tuscany, Lucca and Naples; coarse woollens in Genon, 
Fiedaioni, Rome and Naples; glass works at Venice; suaw hata 
ia Tnaeaay and Lucca. Paper i* made in all iho states, both 
for Iwme consumption and for exportation, in Lombardy, ma- 
aafacturea of common cotton stuff* have been introduced of 
late years. The principal productions for exportation consist 
ofeorn. rice, hemp and silk in Lombardy and Piedmont; oil, 
eilk and potash in Tuscany; corn, rice, timlier, charcoal, hemp 
and salt in Urn Papal stale; oil, silk, wool, com, wine, fntit and 
aait in Naples and Sicily. The greatest induxiry and skill in 
agricultura are employed in Lombardy, Piedmont, and the 
aorthern Papal provinces; the least in the islands of Sicily and 
Bvdinia. The moot fertile soils are those of I^ombnrdy and of 
Campaala, in the kiugdum of Naples. The system of irrigation 
picvaiU la north luly. 

With renrd to the system of agricuttnre followed In the Ma- 
ranime of Rome and Tuscany, It may he obiierved, tliat it is nf 
a peculiar nature, and perhaps the only one suited to the cii- 
mala and the tliin population of those districts. The principal 
fffoa mlnea are In the island of Elba, at Caneto, In the state of 
Parma, in the Val d'Aostn, at Sulo,in Calabria, and ui the pro 
vlaeaa of Bergamo and Breticia. There are copper mines in 
tha province of Bellnno, In the Venetian territory, and lead 
minea In Savoy. The marbli: quarries at Carrara employ I ,dOO 
workniea, and afford a yearly revenue i>r about £3U,0U0 ster- 
ling. Coal ia found in some of the valliea of Piedmont, in the 
ptovinea ofTeramo, in Abriiaxo, at Leffe, near Bergamo, and 
■aar Rimini, in the Papol sute, but very little use hoa been 
miade of it as yet. 

TlM maratime commrrce has rapidly increased since the 
paace. Italy now exports annually to the amount of about 
iB 10,000,000 ateriing, of which silk makea aboat £5,000/100; oil 
Stjmjko^ and rtM and hemp £l/)00»000. Tha iMk la ax- 



ported from the various atatea in the following prnportlomn 
Lombardo- Venetian kingdom, (livres, 95 to £1 ateriiag), 
85,000,000; Sardinian kingdom, $K),000.000; Parma, 1,000,000; 
Tujcmy, -2,500,000; Lucca, 300,000; inland of Sicily, 4,000,000) 
Napleti, Papnl state and Modena, 13.000,000. Total 1*24,700.000. 
Thi? quantity of silk is purchased chiefly by France, Englaad 
and Rf rmany. The oprraiions connected with the production 
nfihf Hi!k, the spinning of It, and the aeveral manul'aciurea of 
silk snoilii, give employment iu Lombardy and Venire ahme to 
10U,UU0 individnaU. iidly imports about £ 1-2,000,000 f teriing 
of foreign goods aiiuuully. UI these, £4,500,000 consist or 
Envlith gondii, chielty uianufactuics, besnlea colonial artielea, 
salt Ash, Ice. Italy, therefore, cuiuuiiiea more English mean- 
factures than any otiier country ot Europe, Germany excepted. 
Alt the Italian statvK, except the Loiubardo Venetian kiaff- 
dom, are open to English manutaciures. in Lombardy and 
Venice the dutiex on luieigfa inanuUctured goods are, in mnal 
iniitances, t.-intiiuiount to pruliiliiiiun, and this is fur the pur* 
pose, as it it said, of encouraging home manufactures; however, 
a vaMt nyKicm of smuggUng M carried on on the fhintiera. By 
an ordinance of May, 1»33, ajl sorts ol cotum twist are now ad- 
mitted Into Luiubardy, and the duty has been reduced one-halT. 
About 50,000 individuals are now employed in Lombardy in tha 
manufacture of cotton stuffs and priiiu. Italy importa Freaeh 
roods to the amount oi about 40,000,000 of livrea anaoally. 
chiefly fine wixdleu cloth, silks and other aiticles ol fashion ana 
luxury. It also imports ot corn Ironi the Black sea, iron and 
copper from the norlJi oi Euroiie, tobacco from Pottugal and 
America, fcc. 

There is a curious fact observed in the custom house entriai 
of the little duchy of I^ueca. The importation of foreign goote 
in the year 1631 amounted to 5,000,000 of livrea, an amoani too 
large to be acconntid for, eitiier by the numerical populatiOB 
of the country or lU resources and habiu. The only plaualMa 
explanation is, that a considerable quantity of the gooda tlMM 
imported into Lucca were smuggled over the mountaina to tiM 
neighboring states. I'he roads of Viareggi<i constitute tlM only 
scHport of Ijiicea, and tome hundred small coasting veaaele ba- 
long to that place. The duihy of Modena also toocbea tlia aca 
by means of its province of Massa and Carrara, and baa aoma 
coasting vessels under iu national flag. The duchy of Parma 
is the only Italian state having no sea coast, but it lias, aa well 
as the neighboring state of Modena, an outlet to the Adriatic by 
means of the river Po, and accordingly we find mentioned oe- 
casioually arrivals of Parmesian vessels in the harbor of tlw 
other Italian states. A steamboat pliea on the Po, bctwaen 
Lango^curo, near Ferrara and Venice. Steamboata have aa- 
cended the Po as high as Pavia. [l^gftsAyopcr.

We have been politely lurnwhed with the annexed table of

prjULIO DINNER TO MR. BELL, 
t public dinner was lately given (o Mr. /?<•//, of Ten- 
t N'aRhville— at which much enlhu*ia»in prevailed, &c. 
I (oa^t was as follows: — 

I. White— **\\\\A\ man can look back upon a long and 
life with leaa cauM of dinuititfaction, or forward with 
proapeeta, to a high and Anal approbaiioa froB the 
vbich ht hM 10 long aervad? 



[Here (he preaident mae and read the fUiowiiig letter ftiMi 
the hoa. //ugA L. JWhile, in answer to an inviteUun aenc hioK 
by (he committee of arrangt ment, to attend the dinner; and of- 
fered Judge White 'h aeuiiment, which waa cordially received Iqr 
(ho company.] 

KnoxrilUy Ma^ SO, 183S. 
Gb?iti.kmrn: By the mail which arrived to-day I received 
your invitaiion to partake of a public dinner to be given to Uie 
lion. John Bull, on the S3d insL in Niuhville, by a poriioii oTIiia 
constituenta. 

The pleasure I ehnutd experience by an aaaociatioii with a 
portion of my late coubtiluents, avaembled at the feative boardy 
to honor a man who is an honor to the whole atate, aa wall ae 
to his immedia(e dis(ric(, tempts me strongly to accept your in- 
vitation: but another consideiadon, which I cannot diarefardy 
induce* me (o resiitt this temptation. 

When I hist vi-<tied your place, I looked forward to the 4tb of 
March, 1H3.5, aa the |>erii>d when I could with propriety, ceaaa 
to take any part in those turmoils occasioned by public life, but 
witliin the last few months, my name has been brought before 
the American people as a candidate to till the bigheat offlca 
within their gift. 

When applied (o, I have said "(he ofllce waa created for tbe 
benefit of (he pertple, and (hey have (he righ( to fill it wiih 
whom tiiey please; Uiat I have no agency in causing my oame to 
be used, and that my political friends have my consent to conti- 
nue, or discontinue Its use, aa in their opinion will moat pro- 
mote the public sood." 

While 1 reiaiii the position I now occupy, in my opinloa, it 
19 most proper that 1 should not pariiciihite in any public few- 
val. even in my own stale. 

For your kind and polite invitation, and for the Avorable opi- 
nion you have expressed of me, as a priva(e citixen and aa a 
public man, he plea«ed to accept my grateful acknowledge- 
mcnt'i; and do nie the fnvor (o request (hose for whom ymi act, 
when assembled, to Join you and me, in the sentiment which 
will be found In-Iow. 

I have the honor to be mort rerpectfully your obedient aer- 
vnnt, IIU. L. WHITE. 

Messrs. 5'iniiir/ Shannon, John RsteU, R. ii. hicKicen. ffei. 
M. Berryhitl, Jonejth I'nulx, Ch'$ I. Love , Robert lVo9d*, 
H. Pehnty^ J. Gordon, John Nichol und John SheUy, 
Jndtfe H'hife*t toa-i wa- — 

The honorable John Bell, late tpeaker of the house of ternf- 
tentatiree—U the people of his district filt honored by hia elee- 
(luii to (hat di«(iiivuished statnui, (he people of (he whole ataia 
nuelit 141 feel more hifhlu hoitored by the able, impartial and ear 
Ill-factory manner in wh'ieh he discharged all its duiiea. 

Here a leiti-r was read from Mr. Peyton, who had been Invit- 
ed to atl4-nd— and his sentiment offered, as follows: 

The yeople of the United .K/ufrt— Intelligent enough for the 
selection of their own public olfirers— they will sternly rebuke 
(he a((empt of self cuuhtiiuied, irresponsible and unconatltu- 
lional boihes to dictate to thcui. 
Then eame — 

Our di%tin^Hiihed ttue$t the honorable John Bell^A native of 
Tenne»seeand a noble specimen of her fiiiuness, independence 
and republican principles — he has proudly sui*(ained her charac- 
ter in his poliiicnl course, and the slanders of his enemies can- 
not take from him the confidence and approbation of biacoon- 
(r> men. 

Alter this ton»t was proposed, snys the ''Jffanner**— Which 
wa<i received with enthufinstic cheering, Mr. BeU araee,aBd 
addressed the meeting in a strain of impassioned eloquence, 
which we liavu never heard surpassed. We will refrain ft'oai 
hpeaking in such lerina of this speech, as we might do, for Asar of 
being accused of exacgejation. It < xhibited a depth of thought, 
a research, a gra:«p and power of intellect, nn accuracy ofoheer- 
vaiion, and un intimate nc qnaintance with |K)li(ical aflfhira, 
which b« long only (o (he liigliei.t order of statesmen, and it wae 
delivered in such a tone and with such a inaniier as to enchain 
a delighted audience for more ilinn (wo hours. We rank our- 
selvi'H amiHig^t his warmest friends, and we can truly say, that 
miieh H* we exp4Cted, our expeciatiouji were greatly more than 
realized. We wish (ha( Evaav dody could have heard it. W« 
will not nltrmpf to give even a summary of Mr. Beli** speech, 
as we hope (o be able (n lav it before our rcaiiers in a few dajt* 
The following are two of (he regular (oa»u>: 
The Baltimore conrenlion— A genuine f on of it* deceaaed pro- 
genitor, "old King Caucus"— may It meet with a like Ikte at 
the hands of a free and enlightened people. 

The Nev York avttem ofcaucut no mi»»tt/ tons— In Ita principlee 
and tendency opposed to economy in tlie public expenditure, 
and necessanly involving proscription and an abuse of execu- 
tive patronage. 

I 'olunteere— selected. 
By the fln»l vice prcsidrn(, William R. Anderson— like OMe 
— 1'here ii* a cuise upon The Globe. It brine* forth thoma aad 
thistles. He that live* upon it "shall eat hii biead in (he aweat 
of his face." "In sorrow i>hall he eat it all the days of hia life,*' 
and there is enmity between it and every thing that ia IKiUre 
and pure and Just and good. 

Sent by n lady— ^m/rew Jackson and Ilu-h L. irAile— Friende 
in early life and kindred spirits in ri|)*r years; let not this loag 
and warmly cherished friendship be severed in venerated age bf 
the machinaiiims of political iutriguerj.

aatc'iiuin of .5l4^,^79,:{t'l; which divided by seven, will make 
the av«'i age annual sum, subject to the dis|Hisiiion of the go- 
vernmeni for the next seven years, amount to $■!!, tf 10,911. 

8uch being the probable average annual income and menna 
of the government for the seven enduing years, the next quea- 
tion which prcsentii it?<elf for cnnsideralion is, what ought to bo 
the average cxpi'nditure for the same period.' 

The expenditure for the year IWl, na taken from the annual

for the preceding year $-J.},7i:),7.'i3, deducting, in both rases, 
the payments on aceounl of the public debt. Your committee 
are, however, of the opinion, that these amounts far eiceed 
ivhniouohl lo be the expenditure, on a just and economical 
scale; and that it may he vtry greatly reduced without injury 
to the public service. Tliey nUo are of opinion, that to thii

Tiiey have already diown thai the government cannot bear a

of the ixqiulaiion, which may be esiimiiied at about 3 percent. 
witlinut an incri'a-e of patriinage that niu«t in its progress ine-

etion on account of the onc-lenlh h biennially. Taking 
Into the estimate, the increase of revenue on account ot 
ncrrase of the exports over ihi* diicrease, on account of the 
nial reduction of one-tenth, will, in Ihe seven years, equal 
98,.VM, from which take .'^2:i!4,IH)0, and it will leave an 
egatn increase over the decrease of $D,fHi(l,rj(H). 
,ila conclusion, however, rests on the nsfumption, ihni the 
lOillun between the fiee and dniied artielpH will remain 
ng the period the same a« is enihiiati'd for the last year, but 
probable thai the reduction of the price of the free articles,

The BoHtm Fuuleert have p»id us a visit in the prc- 
■ent week. Tliej are very exact in their miliury disci- 
pline; and their splendid brass band excited universal 
•dmiratJon. They left us yesteitlay morning. 

The late "itrihet" of the workings people at New 
York, Philadelphia, Sec. will bear heavily on individuals 
who had eontnicted to i»erforni certain Services for sti- 
pulated sums of money — which is a very rcneral prac- 
tiee among mechanics. The diminisheiT labor per* 
formed is equal to the loss of one day in a week, or 30 
per cent. — a very serious advance, indeed, on contrac- 
Cora. But the prices will, after a while, proportionably 
decline. Many houses will not be built, in the present 
year, that had been intended. Time and price will find 
llieir le\-el at surely as water. 

Five of the Spanish pirates convicted at Roston, have 
been executed. They died asserting their innocence — 
and a Spanish priest, as they were about to suffer, 
said with a loud voice, *^ Sfniniardty atcend to heawn.'*** 
Those hung were the capuin Gibert, with Montenegro, 
Garoia, Castillo and Boyga. De Soto was respited for 
60 days, and Kuiz for 30. An immense crowd of spec- 
latori' attended. 

About a million and a quarter of dollars were export- 
ed from Boston and New York, <luring the month of 
May. Has a turn of the tide taken place ' 

A few cases of cholera have happened at Maysville, 
Ky.and several of them terminated fatally. It seems to 
be the tame disease that appeared before, witli its "pre- 
monitory syni[>toms," htc. 

The "African Repository" for June mentions several 
eases In which about 100 slaves have been emancipated, 
by will, if agreeing to go to Liberia. 

The Detroit Journal says-—

The **apoils of victory" from the great bear hunt, 
whieh lately took place near Middleborough, Vt. were, 
6 wolves, 12 bears, 3 catamounts, 24 wild cats, 2 deer, 
90 foxea, 5 hedgehogs, 15 rabbits, 4 woodchucks. 

Three young ladies took the veil at Georgetown, Col. 
on Toeaday morning last — Miss Stonestreet, Miss Jen- 
kins and Miss McGary. 

We learn from the Georgia newspapers that the Chero- 
keea have rejected the late treaty, tliro* the ••Ross party" 
-'^md that they had committed acts of violence, &e. 

Some anzietT has been expressed to know roho was the 
Mr. Rucker^ that represented the state of Tennessee in 
the late Baltimore convention, Aowhe was appointed and 
-whrnn be represented— "fresh from the people" of that 
itate! The following is an extract of a letter from the 
gentleman, to tha editor of the Nashville "Union," and 
explains the why and wherefore of his appearance in that 
body! ___,

Extract from Mr. Rueker*B leUtr to tke eiUor of the Union. 

Sir: Yfiu will discover my name iotroduced into the pr»* 
ceeding^ of the BAiiiniore convention. To prevent all mbun* 
der^uuding, I make the following statement. I was not dele- 
gated (o act in that convention. I happened to be in Baliiuiore 
at the time of its sitting, and after the dvh>gali*« fropi the differ- 
ent »tntos had their credentials examined by the commitlee ap- 
pointed Tor that piirpoM, tliere ap|M>ared to lie no one present 
reprefeniitig Teunessee. This eircumotance seruird to be 
deeply rt-gretted by many, and upon its being nirntioned thai I 
wan tliere, and a TenneMean, it was cugge^ted by some thai I 
might vote, which 1 accordingly did. 

We learn from the Pittsburgh Gazette of tlie Uth inst 
that at the Wolf convention, held in tliat city on the lOth 
inst. resolutions approving the administration of general 
Jackson, especially in relation to our French affiiirs, were 
rejected by a decicled majority. The Wolf men all toC" 
ing againsi the i^solutions and the Muhlenbergera for 
them. Another resolution, approving the nomination i>f 
Martin Van Hurcn and Ricluird M. Johnson, was alto 
rejected by the same vote. 

The following may be truly regarded ''important," 
with respect to the navigation of eanals, as shewing tliat 
a high speed may be obtained upon them— 

From tke Rochester (N. Y.) Daily DemtoeraU 

Unparalleled ipeed upon the canal. On Saturday, some fbrty 
or (illy ol our citizens look a ride upon one of the new line 
pHCket boatn, dei<igned to run between this city and Buffalo. 
The hfial i« made coni'iderably narrower than the ordinary 
pBckeii>; 18 exceedingly ligtit, and flninhed in the noet elegant 
inttuii»:r. It i* a sample or ilie workmanship oroor eaierpritiDf 
and faithrul Tellow citizen Seth C. Jones, who has for some 
lime, we underi^tand, been of opinion, that a boat might be so 
eonstrucii-d us to be drawn by liorbe power, at the rate of 10 or 
1:2 miirs to the hour. The lest on Saturday was a deiiihtfal 
realization or the fact. Although the horses were UBaceut<toai- 
ed to the buiiineti(i, and for four or five miles of the di*iaRee, 
were exceedinsly rraetioun and hard to manage, the ride waa 
completed in two liourM and thirty four minutes, a dialanco of 
tieentjf fottr mt/c*, including chaiigcii of liorpei* and a vhurt stop 
at Spencer's baKiii. It in found by ezperimeni», that when the 
boat is propelled at the rale of neven and a half or eight milea 
to the hour, it riden upon the wwe It, createM lei«s eommotkMi In 
the eanni than the cnmmon packets at fnar miles to the hour, 
and requires, we believe, aboai the same power Id draw H. An 
rnlerprii'ing company has been formed to run a daily b<iat of 
thin tfize to Buffalo, leavini Rochester aAer breakfast and going 
through by diiylicht, a diitunee of ninety five mile«.' Thia will 
be **Koinfi a-head" on the *<rail rnnd principle," and those who 
are going from this to Buffalo, or from Hnffaio bare, wa Iblnk il 
will not be difiicult to say how they will go. 



The bank of Dorieti, Geo. has been robbed of aboat 
100,000 dollars in bank imtes, and 7 or 8,000 dollara in 
specie, principally gold — for the recovery of which a 
reward of $5,000 is offered. 

The lands owned in the state of Maine, by that state 
and tha state of Massachusetts, were lately {Mit up at 
public sale at Bangor. The Bangor Whig says that the 
sale exceeded the anticipations of the most sanguine; and 
what adds to the confidence of the publie and of the pro- 
prietors in the value of timfter landt^ is, the important 
fact, that a lai^re proportion of the quantity sold waspur^ 
chased by ex|>erienced practical men, who judge of ita 
value by what they know can be realized by manufactur- 
ing the lumber for the market. A half township in mile 
aections, which was appraised by the state at about 
$43,000, was sold at $108,000, to a companT, who intend 
to operate upon it. One full township, which was pur- 
chased some time since for S5 cents, sold at $1£ tlie aere 
—the advance upon the first cost being upwards of 
$215,000 ! ! The company was numerous, and composed 
of men of eapital from all llie New England sUtea, be- 
sides many gentlemen from New York and the soutk.

AFFAIUS \VH 11 KKANCK. 

From the ^\ 1', ^Jmcncun. 

The iMcket ship J/uvve, capt. Stotlt/ard, arrived here 

Sr««lei*<lNy liiMii tluviv. 'I'he lilei ot Paris journals we 

liJive receivetl hy her arc to the 'J'Jlh April Iroin Paris-, 

ami ,S(ith iVuiii lUvre. 

The annexed letter to us from rramc, tIiou;;h not late, 
presciitstlie views of an experienced and iiitclligenl man. 
•^f^730/A, 1835. You will probahly have heard ere 
, this eeU to haml, that the t^ millions have been voted, 
•ouiHeU with n condition, however, whii-h all well in- 
formed Americaiii consider as placing the a(Ti«ir on a 
worse fooling tlian it stouJ befi^re. Frenchmen are of a 
different 0|iinion! they ronsiiU.r, and especially the op- 
|HMition, Uie condition, to be noihing; as you will Icirn, 
•f you happen to see anv of the opposition priuts, the 
Coiistilutiounel, Nalionaf and C-nurier Frnnrais, Stcc. 

The Atneriean minister uill probuhly einhark in two 
or three days, with his family, that is, as soon as the 
Coiislilulion, hourly expected from Chcrhourg, where 
slie went to take on hoard water, shall arrive. It is evi- 
dent from Ibis step of the minister, si.eing that fr<im the 
1»ublishe<l instructions to him, he was to retire to Btig- 
and or Holland in the event of the vote being favorable, 
that he considers the condition as amounting to a rejec- 
tion of the grauL He leaves his ftecreiary as ciiarge d' 
atfairet, to remHin, probably, till the cliamber of peers 
•hall have eonsiderecl the law, and if voted in thif shape 
it will be presented, to follow him; but this is only con- 
jecture, as no one here knows what instructions the mi- 
nister, under these circumstanwes, may have thought pro- 
|ier toi^ive. 

The most singular circumstance in the unexpected turn 
which this business has taken, is, that the man, who on 
both sides of the water, was considered to be the best 
person to carry it through, should have been the very 
one to accept the amen<lnient which now makes all the 
difBciihy. It was believed for several days, that seeing 
his error, he would have nought nu-ans of gttting over it, 
aa he might have done, by having tlie amendment set 
aside in the chamber of peers, bringing the bill back to 
the other house, where he would, as it is belie\ed, have 
found a majority eipial to that which rejected two or 
three other amendments. But the expose u>ade by the 
count de Rigiiy upon the preHcntalion of the law iiibtead 
of mending, has made the matter worse, by, staling, that 
as all diplomatic intercourse between tlnr two countries 
is at an end, so the matter would rest till the U. States 
■liall think proper to lake the initintne. 

U|>on this flourish the National satirically remarks, 
that it was well known from the position of the parlies, 
that the American government must speak first, the mo- 
ney being voted, a receipt must naturally be sent, or a 
draft drawn, &cc. 

The lone of the expose has been matti-r of surprise, as 
it was not called for by any thing which has met the pub- 
lie eye. It is supposed to he the conseipicncc of sorne- 
tliing contained in the corresponclenre of the Aroeriwin 
minister, in asking the explanation of the last note of M. 
Semirier, presented to the American go%ernuieut iipnn 
his recall. 

It ia not teen what explanation can be expected here. 
The aorref^iondcnce published, shows that Mr. Living- 



ston took upon himself to explain the message of tlie 
|)reMdent, and his coii<luct was approved by his govern- 
ment. 

The diiki: de Droglie :i])|R'ars to have surprised every 
body, in the course he bus taken, from the king, down. 
riie king has always bhown great anxiety to have the 
aflair Ri-tlleil, and, perhaps, M. <le Jlroglie, owes his silu- 
alion in ihe government, more to tliis circumstance, than 
any other. Tin/ king is displeased, the majority which 
has vetted with the govirrnment, is displeased, and his 
own colleagues, w ho wirt! not consulted before he ac- 
cepted the amendrmnt, are dih^deased. The opposition 
are not ph a>ied, hecaii<:e they cannot bring themselves to 
believe that hi> will ask aiiV thii<g worth having. Such 
Im the life of a public man. ' To-day, all praise — to-mor- 
row, all eeiisnre — nciiher being entirely merited. Do 
lh•o^lie has ihe reputation tor being a high-minded, 
hoiH St, man. 

There is an intinialion in this letter, that possibly ad- 
miral /iV;/ ////'« ivmarks, cin pre>enling the iiuleninitv hill 
ill the house of perr<-, take I heir color, from dissatisfac- 
tion with the tone which Mr. l/ivingston may haw em- 
ploved in asking e\phiiialioii concerning M. Serrurier*9 
last note. 

If ibis be so, t)«<)Mgli we perceive nothing amiss in 



tiiostr remarks, il i> only another source for regret, that 
a mailer, simple ei.ongji in i(«elf, Miould have bceu reu- 
dered complex by bad management (ni both bides. 

We take from the (.'ourier k Encpiin'r, a translation 
of the remarks of M. de Jiigny, above referred to, which 
contemplate, it will be seen, that ihe first step towards 
adjusling this controversy, mubl be taken by this coun- 
try. 

Thf'iv are some inaccuracies in ibis tninslatioii; the 
only <»m: worthy of noti-, however, is that where the 
wcifd, iunoliti\ unusual, is rendered insulting— in thii 
sentence — 'Mhe chamb< r of deputies perceived how I'l*- 
miltin^, and oflensive, wouM be a clause," kc. 
Chumhn- ofpt'crs^ 9r/tiion of lit h ^'Iffril, 
Ailmivul th'. Jtiiiiiii — tjenllemen', our colleague, M. 
Ilnmann, ininiMer ai finances, being indispos<'d, has re- 
rpiested me to take on myself the pi*eseiilalion to this 
chamber, of the projicl of a law which 1 am about to 
have ihe honor to submit to the m. (Marke<l attention.) 
(jienllemen, the king has dii-ecled us to present to vou 
the project of a law which has just parsed the ehambcr 
of deiiuties. To insure the execution of the treaty con- 
cluded on the 'ith of July, 1831, between France and the 
United States, is the object of this law. 

The treaty itself has lor some months been before you. 
Il is not neccbsary that we should recall to your ixxollcc- 
lion its differenl stipulations. The circumstances which 
have given rise to the indemnity agreed to be paid by 
France, the principles on which we have set out in fixing 
ihe amount of that indemnity, the settlement in relation 
to the 8th article of the trei^ty of Louisiana, the advanta- 
ges obtained for our wines on the one hand, and on tlie 
other those agreed to he gi\cn to American cotton; all 
these details are in a greater or less degree before Tou, 
all b.ive acquired for some time past a notoriety which 
renders il uimecrs-iary thai I should now analyze them. 
All the documents, which have been coilimunicalcd to 
the other chamlier will be placed at your disposal. You 
will probably think proper to confide the examination of 
them to a comiiiittee, and on this committee it will be 
incunihenl to present to you an historical account of 
events and the result of citlc'ulalions growing out of them. 
But while we believe that we may rely on that com- 
mittee, to perform this task, which it alone can perforin 
in its full extent, we think that we owe you some eluci- 
dations as to the siiuatii>n in which France now finds it- 
self placed, as regards the republic of the United States. 
You ai-e aware of ilie steps taken by the government of 
the king the very instant the message of the president of 
the union, on the opening of the last congress, was re- 
ceived in Europe. Vou know that at a future day a similar 
measure was taken by president Jack&on. The two mi- 
nisters reciprocally acrre<lited by the two governmenta 
were both recalled. The effect of this double recall ii 
at thi"* moment, if not that of interrupting in nil respeeti 
the diplomatic relations between the two countries, at 
least that of interrupting them in all that relates to Iha 
treaty of the 4th oi July.

The annual consumption of coal In tlie^e ciiieK already ainfiuntii 
10 upwards of one hundred amd fifty Ihoutand tons — and as it is 
ganemily conceded that coal will in a few years alinoift entire- 
ly nsarp the place of wood an a fuel, our readers may form nn 
eeiimale of what the future couitunipiion in the countiy will be, 
when we state that in less than three years, the con^unlplioil 
of anthracite coal in tJie cilii;s of ^fl!W York and Thildilelphia 
nione, will be greater than the whole con:<uinption in the Unit- 
ed Sutea was in 1839. 

The New York correspondent of the Portland Advertiser, 
writes, under date of Mny 5. **The Asior hotel is rising. The 
front is nearly done. Tliere is a talk of overthrowing the Ame- 
rican hotri,aud uking di>wn all the square on wliirh it stands 
for the purpoae of creating another inngnificint hutel to ranf^e 
witli that of Asior*i. There are not hotels enoncli to accom- 
modate the thousands of travellers, who now come here. As- 
tor. It ia aaid, ezpecu to have ^40,000 rent fur his hotel. The 
rent of the city hotel is nine liiouxand dollars." 

In the anniversary address of professor Tnrkor. before the 
Virgiuin Historical society, tlie fdilowinK ^inj^ulHr fact is men- 
tioned, as connected with the history of Virginia. 

In the year 1047, lawyers were forbidden to tnke any fees 
whatever, and in 1658 lAey irere ercludtd from Ihe leti^lature. — 
For this aneourieous act. It must be eonfe^^^ed tloit their de- 
aceodants liave made the amende honorable. 1*he medical pro- 
feaaion aeemed also an object of Je.il(iU]*y wiih thi: plnnler; nt 
by anmher law (passed in 1546) physicians were required to 
awenr to the value of their dings. 

JVad^nfcol tkiU of the anrienl R^yptiaM. The inner cham- 
ber contains subjects of the nuMt liitereMiins and diveriiified 
kind. Amons these, on the lefk, (enierins), are rnbinet ma- 
kers, rarpenti'rs, rope-makers and sculpinr)*, ^o^^e 'if wtiom 
are engased in bevellinf and sqmrinf :i «ione, nnd others m 
finishing a sphinx, with two colossal Ktaiues of the kins. The 
whole prrtcess of brick- mnkioQ is nNo introduced. Others are 
employed in heating a liquid over a charcoal fire, to which are 
applied, on either aide, a pair of bellows. These are worked 



by the feet, the npi'rator standing, and pressing them altemaio ■ 
ly, while he pulls up each eihauxted skin by a string he liolde 
in U\* hand. In one iuNiaiice the m.in ha^ left the bellowa, but 
they are raised, a^ if lull of air, which would imply a knowledge 
of th*f valve. Another hingulnr fact is learnt from these frescoa 
—their acquaintance with the use of glue — which is heated on 
the fire, and vpiead, with a thick brush, on a level piece of 
board. One of the workmen then applies two pieces of diflerenC 
colored wood to each other, and this circumstance seems to de- 
cide that glue is here intended to be represented rather than a 
varnish or color of any kind.

Great printing e$tahli$hment. A London paper gives an In- 
teresting description of the extensive printing esiabljKhment of 
Mr. Cloweii, wliere the publications of the celelirated publisher. 
Chailcs Knight, and or the society for the difTudion of Useful 
Knowledge, are printed. They are employing thirty type-foun- 
ders, six stereotype lounders, seven men damping paper, and 
one hundred and sixty compositors. The principal comprMing 
room, where the types are hct, is QTO feet long, and ia filled 
from end to end with a double row of frames. Two steam en- 
gines are employed driving the prinlinc machines, of which 
there are eight that can each throw ofiT from 700 to 1,000 im- 
pressions per hour. There are 15 common printing preasea for 
fine work, and 7 hydraulic presaes, of 960 horse power each, for 
pressing paper. I'liere is in the establishment about 1,000 
works in stereotype, of which 75 are bibles. The first cost of 
these would amount to £100,000; the weight Is about 3,000 
ton>i, and if melted and sold for old metal, would be worth 
£70.000. The average quaniity of paper printed aroounia 
weekly to the a^itonixhing quantity of 3,000 reams. When the 
paper maken< and other tradesmen are taken into account, the 
men to which this esublishment gives employment muaC 
amount to several thousand. 

It has been estimated that the annual conMimptinn of coflTee 
in the United Stales, is not less than 80,000.000 llis. Now, 
supposing that the average price is Ifl^c. per lb. this quantity 
! con :}! 0,000,000. 

The British ship Harriet, which recently arrived at Liverpool 
from Mobile, ii said to have broiiclit the largest canro of cotton 
of any ship ever known, via: 2. 1. 70 bales, valued at $950,000, 
hexides 10,000 feet of plank. She measures 618 tons, and ie 
owned by Jolin Johnson, esq. of LiverpoiM. 

Tliirt in a ml^take. It appears by the I^iverpool Journal, that 
the Amrricnn ship George Washington brought 200/X)0 pounds 
more than the Ilairiet.

Nearly 50 pi'rsons are confined in the bridewell of Devises 
for offences against the game laws. 

The Jewish poputniion of Great Britain la estimated at 
30,000, of which 30,000 live in London.

THE MKCKLENBURG DECLARATIOX. 

The I'olluwiiig account of the celebration of thc.MirrX> 
lenbnrg DecUirtUion of Independence, which took place 
on the auili of May last, is exceedingly interesting, and 
is |>eculiarly ajiproprialc for this work— which is chieflj 
intended to be a record of the past, and |iassiiig, histoiT' 
of our cuuiitrv< 

t\om the Charlotte (N.C.) Journal. 

We hiot week g.ive a hasty sketch of what took pipce on the 
■20ih Miiy, which we iruift will not prevent our readers enjoy- 
ing a more detailed account of the proceedings of that eventful 
day, although we are now compelled to repeat many thinfs 
Maid liefore. 

Althouith public expectation was much excited In regard to 
the commemoration of t tie Mecklenburg Declaration of I nde- 
IM'ndence, which was held in this place on Wednesday, the 
^ih May, it has lieen more than realised. We can safely say 
that a larger, more respectable and more decorous assemblage 
of persons, has not convened in the state of North Carolina 
since the era of tlie time they met to ccletirale. The day, as If 
in sympathy with the feellngx of those who participated In Ihe 
celebration, was beautiful as the fundesi |f>ver of nature could 
have wished— the sky was cloudless, and a lefreshing breexe 
co«»lcd the otherwise oppressive warmth of ihe sun. 

The day was usiiered in bv the firing of cannon, and at an 
early hour the streets of our flonri-'hing village were thronged 
by a well dressed and orderly population of b<iih sexes, mingled 
with the glitter of the beautiful and appropriate nnirorius worn 
by ttie regiments of cavalry and volniiieers called out on the 
occasion. At 9 o'clock these reciments formed in line inihe 
main street, the left resting on the court hou«e. The counties 
of .Mecklenburg ond CiibarruA forming one on the memoratile 
event their citizens met on tlil<» occasirm to commemorate, are 
and oiichl to be justly prouil of these lieaunful and elTeclive 
ri'LMment". They wm- mftiejied to the field, and there review- 
ed by general Tlioina- <w. P"lk, in the presence of the fovernor 
ol Ihe stale, senator Miinsnm, a nnniber of respectable citiaens 
of this and the adjoining county tieing present. At 19 o'clock, 
the military again formed a line in the street, where they were 
Joined by a proceulon in the cider of eliisena, atrangen, revo-

Fort IliU, S. C. Jiinil 1835. 

OairrLBitBin I have bern honored by yntir note dI (Iik 17th 
hiatanl, hiviiMig nir, in the name of ih ■ ritizeiiH •>' Mcckli-ii- 
barg county, to Join them In the ci'lehrnti.iii, on th* '2Uih Mxy 
next, of ihe Dtrlaraiiint of IndepfiKlence iiiiide ai thiii place. 
On so interevtlng an ncca ion, and one so hoiiorahlf to the 
•tale, I would have been happy to accept your nivitHtion, and 
to Join the ciiixen* or MecklPithiirK in th«-ir Cflehraiion, hut it 
will be entirely out of my power. An encasement with which 
1 eannot diypente will prevent me. 1 rejoice to wiineFi a di«- 
pofiUoa to recur to former periods and to call up tliH memory 
of purer and better times than the pretient. ft in indeed mrlan- 
eboly to reflect how greatly our character ha* dr|!»:neraied in 
the stiofft iniarval that has elapsed since we declared uur^'lvea 
a fms and tndepeodeni people— to think with what piouip 
liUHleour aucentord restjtted the sliithietit encrnachnient itn 
their chartered rights in the infancy of our power, and with 
what aplrll they met the grenteiH power on earth in their de- 
fence—and with what lanienefs and mennnrgiii, in the maturity 
of onr power, we sulimii, when the constitution and liberty 
•f the country are iramided in the dufl by ihitfR whom we 
have elevated to authority, and who have no other power hut 
the nereenary and ba«e means which ofFIre nnd patronage 
boMnnr. Tbere, it seems, have more terror lor nn, their de- 
Mscrate mmis, than tlie army, the fleet*, and the miuhty re- 

■reea of tlie British empire, had for our brave and patriotic 



The declaration which the citizen* of Mecklenburg are ahont 
to ealebnite will- forever place the whijE* of the revointinn in 
Morlb Carolina amnnc the moxt interpid and r.ealons ol that 
■OMe band to whom we are indebted for our independence, ll 
was the first open mi>veineni for indepirndence, and that ni.iile 
by Ibosfl who niK only hid a fonigii enemy to meet, but Ind 
manj and, what would have been to weaker mind*, nppalling 
difbeultiea to contend with nt Inmie. Under i*uch trying cir 
eammances, instead of holding back to vee what other* ir»s 
cxpomd would do, (the cou rue that ihe le** bold and z> alous 
wonki have taken), they resolutely and nobly moved in ad 
vasce, and, iaaiead of following, set the example to those who 
bad flir Inferior dilBcu I ties to encounter. Such courage and 
B«al la tbe cause of freedom, with the name* of iho^e who dis- 
played them, oa|ht to be remumbered and cherished forever. 



I avail myself of the occa*ion to offer the following weDiiment: 
Nttk CarottiM— May her *on*, in their resistance to the 
appmaeh of despotic power at home, emulate Hie noble ex 
ample of the Charlotte convention in their rcjiiatance to dbs 
polism f^m abroad. 

With great respect, I am, fcc. J C. C.\LflOlTN. 

Mr. I^gh^t opology concluded with the following 
■entiment— 

The descendant* of the patriot* who were the firi>t to dc- 
iMnnce allegiance to a/oreJj*n crown. Mny ihey ever emulate 
the example of their father*, by promptitude, vigilance and 
■oal, to avert the dominion of a crown/orj;ed ol home, 
Mr. Tyler'9 with this— 

TIm reaolutions of the Virginia house of burce**e* of 1765, 
and llM declaration of the people of Mecklenburg. North Ca 
nlina, in 1775. The flr^t Uiight that our right* were natural, 
aoa sU tntional, chartered— the la»t gave the pledge of "life, 
feftnaa and sacred honor,*' for their maintenance. 
Meitn. H'hite and Gotten and litvwn't replies: 

Jifnoxvi/le, Tenn. ^jniirttK, 1835. 
OairrutifBN: By the msil of yewterday, I received your in- 
viuthm in nnite with the citisens ol Mecklenburg, in Char- 
lotia, on the 90th of May next, in celebrating tlie anniversary 
«f Um Declaration nf Independence, made in that place on the 
■Ml day of Mav, 1775. For this dij>tinguiHhed mark of re 
apoet« be pleased to accept my mn«t grateful acknowledgment*. 
The 90th May, 1775, is a day of which eveiy unlive of North 
CarolHia may well be pnnid. Nothing could give me more 
ploasnre than to be present with you on the *p«it, where on that 
day, a band of patriots dared for the/ir»i (irns publicly to de- 
clare, that onr connection with Great Britain wa* dinsolved, 
Ihat «• owed ber no allegiance, and that we were and of right 
onuhl to be/ree; but my distance from you, and circnm<«tances 
beyond my control, put it out of my power to accept your in- 
vHatlnn. I ask, as a Aivor, that you, and those for whom you 
act, wiMO assembled, will unite with me in the subjoined sen- 
Ument. 
Wkh tba bigbaat respect, I aiu your mo«t obedient servant, 

UU. L. WlllTfi. 



The tons of North Curolina— May they be tlie Itai to sur* 
r« ndi r those principlis or freedom and independence wbkh 
thtir fearles* ancei<iors were the ^rst to declare. 

Neuhtrn, JSyril 16<A, 1835. 
Cextlkmen: I feel niy»-ilf highly flatierrd by your invita- 
tion to aitfciid at the celebration of the anniversary of the Meck- 
lenburg Declaration of independence. As a North tJarolinian, 
I am proud that the honor belongs to our stale, of first tliruw- 
ing off the vhHckles of tyranny, and 1 am the more proud of it 
becaiMe our right to the diHtmciion lias been contested and de- 
nied until It could no longer be questioned. It is a mailer of 
fenous regret ihiit 1 cannot be with you in person on this oe- 
cation, but I i>liall be. with you in afl» ciion and feeling. Suft'er 
me to send you a sentimvut, which perhaps >uu will not deem 
iiiar»propriale. 

Jitnnicun /tAerfv— Here firft declared, and here most sacred- 
ly cherished— biildly rcKoivcd on, long struggled for, and nobly 
obtained, it \i\\i*i be pretierved by the virtue, wisdom, vigilance 
and union of American fieemen.' 
Ues|»ecilully and aUeciiuuaiuly yours, 

WILLIAM GASTON. 
CatireW, N. C. May 1 5/ A, 1«35. 
Cr.NTt.RMEN: Your note of ilie 'M ultimo, was duly received, 
inviiine me to unite with the citizens of Mecklenburg in cele- 
brating Ihe approaching anniverdary of the Declaration of In- 
dependence, made in the town of Charlotte, on Uie i20th May, 
1775. I have toexpreic* my regret, that it will not be conve- 
nient for me to leave home at the lime of the pro|ms«d celebra- 
tion, and muHl therefore forego the gratification which the oc- 
caiiion would afford. 

Among all the events of the revolution, fruitfnl as that por- 
tion of our hiiitory Ih, in deed* of pure and elevated patrmtism, 
none is entitled to be held in higher veneration than the Meek- 
!enlMiig Declaration of Indepcncence. It was the flr*t decisive 
movement in fHvor of se[»aration from the mother country, in 
that series of great events which preceded the revolution, and 
which have produced results as a*toni*hing to the civilised 
world a* they are gratifying to the friend* of human litterty. The 
sloriou* fruit* of these arhievement* are every where to be 
seen in our country. In its liberty, in its free in*tituiions. In 
it* pre*ent high and unexampled *tate of prosfierity, and in ihn 
commanding attitude which we occupy as a naiioii aniniig the 
people of the world. I'hese ble^sine^ constitute the hlgiiesl 
pmi«e which the founder* of our liberties can receive, and 
form the mo«t lasting memrulal* of their windom and patriotism* 
Accept, gentlemen, a^^urances of uiv respect,

amount to a mere &riffum/ii/inm,of no force nreflecl whatever. 
Could not the power of removal be applied to a inarjihal in any 
district of the United t?tate*, if he perMi<led in executing a Judg- 
ment of the conn, in oppo«iiion lo an ordrr from the premdent 
prohihitint him from h-vying on the property of the defendant, 
in the *aine inaiiiier that it ha» hern applied to a iiecretary of

cerrt hidiliiig coinmi!*xioni( at (he plfaxure of Ihe preaiden(. 
Thus he wonid beronie the ultimate arbiter of (he mn»t solemn 
deci<«ionii of the courtt; hi* might examine the record, and pro- 



nteie^t^ would not be coiiniilird by nuch a niea<(ure; but that j nounce nn opinion that the Judirment or decree of the court la 



I would bir, in liia opiniim, hiuhiy injurious to the country at 
arf^, and iherffure heiould not courcieniioui'ty com|i|y with 
lie wi«lies of the prenidcni in th\^ reit|K-c(, in the exeri-i:>e of a 
4«cre(ion VM(ed exclusively in him by law. Wln-rfiipon the 
irrsident, with seeming courtedty, informs the secretary, "rir, I 
vifth it (o be di)<(iNcily understfNul ihnt 1 do not deitire to inter 
pre with your duties; you are at liberty to execute them ac- 
cinliiif to your conii(ruc(ion of die law; hut if you cannot con 



unconHtituiional, ns he understands it, (and he executes the

according lo his good will and pleasure, order (he marshal to 
di)>reKard the process of execution, who would be hound (oobey 
thiti impel lal mandate nr surrender his office to another. 

Is it not tlii'ii evident to the common sense of every man who 
hears me, that, according to the coofiruction whieh Ihe presi- 
dent pulsonthe power of appointment and removal from office, 



ciffNliOMnly conform to my will, I annul your rominissifm, and he can as efTectually control the Jntiginenis and decrees of the 
hall appoint an officer in )our place, more pliant, wh4i will i supreme court an if he were to pui on the Judicial robes and 
f my orders on my re'iMinsibility, without interiiofiing hi.> I take his dent among Ihe Jiidces? When, fir, said Mr. P. I And 
I opinion, either in reference to the powers vested in him Ihe patroiungR of the govi'rnment, and the enoriiioua |»owera 



y law, or the good of the country »» Ji is undeniable that, ac 
Offdia^ in this rule, whicii seems now to be the settled doctrine 
fthla admiHistraiion, that no power can be ve«-t* d in a subor- 
knate ttffieer of the eovernment hy law, whic h in not liable to 
« controlled in its exeruiinn, at the diKcretion of the chief ma- 
lelraie. Will any one pretend thai this toverninent, lhu« ad- 
iiiiiis(ered, is one of checks ond balances, which limits each 
«f>ar(ment within iti« own orbit, an<l cnnAaes each to the ex- 
fcis« of its delegated powers and duties? Sir, it is no such 
hing. Tite monarch of JEnciand, with all his regal sway and 
omp, wouhl not dare lo lay bold of the public treasury of ihe 



claimed as in(ideni to ii, thus perv**iied and prostiluled to sub- 
serve the purposes of political ombiiion, I will raise my voice 
to check and rentrHin it, without regnid lo the consequeneea 
which may result to myself pemonally from the independent 
dischnrce of my public duties. He would not, he said, speak, 
at this lime, of proscription for opinion's sake, which has been 
carried to the greatest excess under Ihe present administration. 
He would, indeed, fortx-ar to enlaree on most of (he matiera 
which had f»een brought in a oondennrd form to the notice of 
Ihe seiinie hy Ihe report of the select committee. He might, 
perhapx, seize another opportunity to enter more nt large into 



iilfdom, and loan It oni al his plrai<ure to the corporations of) Ihe coni'ideration of xha-v subjects. For ihe present he would 



if Liverpool fir London, or disiiibute it omnng local banks, as 
j« own whim or caprice, or his political ambition, micht die- 
Ate. Such an outraie would arouse the spirit of Knglish liber 
|r,and the (hrone itself would tremble under the crowned head 
rlio had dared (o commit it. Bnt, niranae as it may seem, nil 
liH has btsen dono in this free country, under (he name of de- 
loeraey! The iieoplc have not yet hud this question fairly be- 
iM« them for their decision. 

We have, indeeil. allenipted to bring (he high prernoative 
octrlnea of the present d.iy in their naked deformity, to the 
lew of (he unnuspecting, bonent cilixeiis of the republic. Rut 
lie Imum has been evnded, and the people every where have 
ecB nnhluthintly told, that it wai a mere question of "bank or 

hank." Thus, the unpfipulariiy of all banks, and the reck 

•aadenuneiatiiins which linve I n put forth in Ihe public pres« 

gafaet (he bank of (he Uni(ed Staten, have been brouclii in aid 
f the dominant parly; the minds of (he people have been lured 
nd diverted from the real question which they had to decide, 
nd, under this delusion, popular elec(ions have turned in 
ivnr of thotie who have inflieied the nio*t fatal wounds on the 
iial principles of our freeconsiiiuiion. Itiit,s:iid Mr. P. I will 

01 permit my*e|f to doubt, thnt, whenever the freeinen of thin 
finniry nhad he I'nlly informed of th^ abuses which have been 
meiined under ibis n>1 mini •miration, of the pro^iiintion <»r the 
ie«s, and the coriiipt purposes to which the p:iiriiiiaj;e of Ihe 
iivernm«*iii h;i<i been applied, and of ilie iiiiine.i-ured ntrides of 
•tw^r. which df fien tin; re^irainit of law. diey will come to the 
RMCue in the majesty of their sirencUi. and restore the ermstl 
Slhm to i(» primiiive puriiy and simplicity. Against the for- 
HklAlHe array of executive power, bow claimed and exercised, 



content himself with the motion* which he indicated, when he 
rose to address the senate, that thirty thousand extra cnpieaof 
the report be primed, that it mifht be distributed throughout tbe 
country, for the information of the people. 

MR. DCKTON^S HRMaRKS 0!« THE RAMI! amjRCT. 

Mr. Itenton iom; to speak to some parts of the report— to ex- 
presn Ins conciirrenee in some parts, his dis'ent lo others. 

III! concuried in the general purport, and in the general ob- 
ject of the repori, in showing the great increa«e which had taken 
place, in a slioit time, m the expendilurca of ihe government,' 
and in the number of persons employed, or supported by it. 
The increase was great, but not so great as had been depicted; 
and out of proportion lo the increase of population and wralih 
of llic country for Ihe same pi.riod, but not so inordiuaiely aa 
(he repor( affirmed. U was Hie ohjec( of the repfirt |o reduce 
(his too urfM expenditure, and to diminish the number of that 
va4t uiulliiurie of persims now paid, or supported, oui of ihe fe- 
deral tien^ury. in all this he concurred with the report; but 
he regretted, deeply and sincerely regretted, that it had not 
fallen wiiliin the scope of Ihe chairman's view of his suhjeel, 
to show the source and origin of these great increases; tliai the 
blame, if nny. "Iioiild fall upon the true ntilhors, and the genlua 
of reform slionlii know where to apply her corrcctini hand. 
Till' omission of the chairman lo show this, had laid him (Mr. 
n.) under the neressity of endeavoring to supply (he defect; 



*'J'he motion was siibifcquenily modified, at the suggestion of 
several senators, so at to print only (en Uiouaand cojilet; whlcli 
waa carried.

in the Upper Miwisjiippi, which, tlionsh the l^L'htin^ was 

II 1893, yet the payments lell chielly upon the eiisniils 
Under thin head alone there were paymenis in that year 

r $900,000;* namely, to the militia and vohinteerH of lili 
1444,000; for th<MrKUb«i>«tence,$IhG,UOO; for ilie convrr

wrOM paid for duties refunded on merchandise to iiii|>oit

■eta under the convention with lieiimark, the Hum of 
MM; and thii* watt money not expendcil, nor even paid, in 
mm of payment, but merely delivered to these claimants; 
ivemraent havinc received ilirom Dtnniark, for their n-e, 
year* afo, and now delivered it to thot>e to whom a com- 
M had awarded it. Then there were extraordinary In- 
ireaiie* that year for the puichaxe of land, for which 
NO were paid; and removal of Indian*, and »iilisisiine 
afler they got to tlieir new home*, the *um of .^:Ai8,0U0. 
He greatest extraordinary payment of the whole year was 
at revolutionary p» usions, under the fatal act of Itfiti. 
•et originated in coneres*, and carried back ii<i li»Oi>e ami 
pmvi*ion* to take etfect from the 4(h of Marrh, ic.ll. 
threw the accumulated payment* under that niO'<t uiifor- 
e act, upon the year 183.1; for all the remainder of the year 

III which the act wa* pAKHcd, wa* in ken up in establish- 
le claims of pernon* to the lieneHi of the act. Thu* the 
enta in 18.13 were but )^.155.686, while in 1833. they were 
■le* that «uin, amounting in faet lo .^3.,'tU7.-184. Pnliini;

'd from the crand asireiiate of twenty-two million* ami 
-qaarlera, and he had no doubt but that a research into the 
9 lift of extraordinarie* for the »aiiie year would pioduee a 
M more. Be that a* it may, here in a sum of *evi'n mil 
, not belonging to the current and progressive expeiMtv ui

■Tror in staling that this sreat increase had taken place duiinf

tiitiiiff before or since! Mr. R. would say a word, and but a 
word, upon iis correlaiive pan, the increase of person* paid by 
Ilie uovernmeiit or fed b> iis bouniv. In lK->5, Ihe wImMc nam- 
uer was 53.777. in If^ia, 100,073. This, *ald Mr. B. is almoct 
-loiible; but how did it happen? Why from carrying the pen- 
sioners lip from ahoul I7.0l)(l, to about -10,01)0! adding ninltltudea 
lor inieinal improvement, and the ciisiom hounes in coiine- 

iji cc ol the two tariffs of l&M and ]»!8; requiring many |»er- 

sons to snperiiilend the removal of lndianr>; manyioanrve.y 
.Old »ell the newly aeqiiireil lands; and n whole reciment of dra- 
L'lxins for the defenc*' of the weHiern frmiiler. In the*e llema; 
:oid oihi-rs, the source of the increased number* will be found, 
i-oine few of tliriu necessary and indisp«-n*able a* that of the 
ilraaoone; Rome necey^ary and lemporaiy, a* tho*e for removal 
nf Inilian«,and intern.il iinp'ovement; some lawful, thongh tho 
expediency of the law qnesiionabh', a* those for carrying into 
'Ifeot the complex prnvisinii* of the new tarifl* law*; come 
nmazlns, and almost incnidible, a* the increase of penrionera. 
Ihe ban; staieuM-nt of wlioite number* announce* a fraud or 
-inpcndous maniiitude, and iinplie* a deinoraliZHtiun of publlo

The disini-o'ion* from office next envaced Mr. B's altrRiion. 
Phe alferted moderation of laniinnse under which thi* tnp<e 
was broiiithl fortvard in ihe rep(iri,and the violence with which 
it crmeliidfd, were particularly poinleii out. Reroarka of a 
(tarty clianirier were diselainied, and the disclaimer wa* in-

of the covernmenl in the short xpaee of eiehi

Ikse of bating upon this duplication a cry of such enor-

twice refuse to attempt to reiulale these banks? Are Ihe vole* 
of these refusals, recorded in our Journ.ih, preserved in our me- 
mories, and known to the whole bndy of the .American people? 
And after that, Is the senate the place from which a reproach 
can come, and fearful, trnnbl inc. awful appr«-hen«ion« for the 
pafety of the republic, can he put forth, on aoenunt of the unre 
fulaled condition ol these deposite banks, wnhout exi-itms, in 
die first place, a feeling of the utmnst |ios<iihle nstonishnieni;

reJf Ihe object' Mr. II. Wnuld dismiss this inpic with simply 
recilins the reminiscences, as the norti writers callvd il, which 
heloiifed to this oeca^inn, and lea%-e ii to ilinse who rehi^^ed — 
twice refused — mity nine montlis ngo. to comply with the exe- 
cutive recommendation lo reculate tlif«r hank^, and now re- 
proacb hini because they are nut re£uliied,and jihivi-r with ter- 
ror ai such a state of thine<; and would leave it to ihem, and a 
pretty little task they niieht find il! to reconcile Ihiir conduct 
then with their conduct now. 

The transfer draftit, said .Mr. R.have cl.iimed ilie ailention nf 
tlie report. They are proposed |o be prohibited in future, ex 
eept for the iotia ,fE<fe purpose of irHnoferriiie puhlic moneys 
from one place to an«illii-r, for the beni fit of the puhhc service. 
To this Mr. K. had no objection. He wa^ not in favor of u^inx 
Ihe power or the money of the fedcr.il xovrrnmeni to su-'inin 
banks in future. Time was when the ffoveriiment was tunler n 
virtual duress to do it. Fifteen or twenty years ago, for exam- 
ple, when the novernmeni Was ilsi If de|*endcnt on the paper 
aystem, and was obliged to support that system to pre:<erve its 
own revenues. Time was also when it was not only riuht, but 
laudable in Die government, to su«tain the local bank>; and 
that was at the eoiuineiieenient nf the panic npi>ratiniis of the 
last year, when the explosion nf the slate hanks was the riiini- 
yal policy of the bank of the ITnii,-^ Hiaii'»; and the «iiroe^s nf 
that policy was fru)iirnied by the inlerpo.iiion of the secretary 
nfthe trea<ury, ihrouch the ln<irumeniality nf tran>fer drart*. 
Dttt these times have gone by. They have pa.i«ed away, and 
never can return until the federal covernment «linll ronnnii the 
consummate fnllv of creating another niamnioih bank, nr en- 
lanelint it>elf in ihe f.ite of local hank« by enniinums m treat 
their notes as money, and receiving ihi federal revenue in 
them, rt is ho|H-d that this folly will nni be perpi tr:iied: that 
no new bank is to be rrenled to ovmhrow. nnd to eru«h at it!> 
pleasure, all oiliers; that the pn|»er of loenl liaiiks i* not to hi! 
made ihe eurreiiey nf the lederai eorernment; bill Ihni the go 
vernment will, and that with all cnnveniem Fpeed. reiiirn to 
the rurreney nf the coii<<liiution, and to the first art of the fir^t 
ennirehs that ever sat under the con«liluiion. and made a prn. 
vision nn the subferi of money, and wliir h derMred that -oM 
oniMitrrr coin ON'I.V nhonld he received in paynM'ni* to the I'. 
States. For the fuinre. then, Mr. 11. w.is opp>e<ed in lending

I repair I, by implication, if not in word*, thrrw u|ion Bf r. Taasy 
! lor the u<«- hi- m.tili> nf these draflf in the fall uf 1633. He tfe- 
i iHiiiteil liiai u»e; hi- Ju-iified il; Im txtolUd it; lie relebraitdrt 
I utinwe all praife. Wiiat wa« that use? It was to prevent Hie mk- 
! ci i>s III criiiie, and to compel the observance of Juslice! to fias- 
iraie tin- cnnspirac> of the bank of the U- Stales against the local 
baiik^.and to compel iier to treat her own notrs, and tiiOM uf 
her biaiichen, »« uione)! The case was this: I'poii the reDiotal 
of the de|Nipiieii,niuny uf the branches liegan lo reluae lo receive 
from the defMnuie ii.inks the notes nl the other branches, or of 
the iiioilter luink, which had been received in paymfniof dutief, 
and which the de|Misiie banks ii'ffered to exchange for iheir owa. 
Kr>fu«ine thiM exchange, and demanding specie from the depo- 
site banks lor all their balances, tlie design of the lederai bank 
was evident; it whs to cripple and ciush the aiate banks, de- 
rimy ilieir currency, and upon Iheir rums erect the edifice of 
her own necessity and supreniaey and recharter. Mr. Taney 
interposed to prevent this crime, this ruin, and this resuU. He 
gave liraliK to ilie dcpoi^ite banks to be used upon condition, and 
oil condition only, that the hank and its branches should conti- 
nue to relume to receive each other's notes, received on pablie 
account, in exchange for the notes of deposite luinks, and df- 
mand s|>ecie Inmi iheni; and the exhilHtion of these drafts ia 
Ualtimore and in \ew York had the elTect that wns intended; 
It Ci»mp<lled Ihe bank of the United States and Ha blanches to 
honor each other V paper, and to dcHst from that pan of ibcir 
atrocious and diahfilical plan to break Ihe deposite banks, and 
to derange the currency of the country. 

Mr. n. said, ilM>e were the facia which Justified Mr. Taney 
for the uve he had made of the transfer drafts; not only jnsti fled 
him, but » milled hini to the highest praise, lie conicnird biai- 
self now with Slating these faet«; on another occasion he would 
prove them. He had certain remarks to make on Ihe report of 
the finance eommitiee of the senate, (Mr. 7^/er*s report oa Ike 
h.ink), in which this pnxif would find an appropriate place; aad 
he was certain that the senate would not deny him an opporia- 
niiy of making |ii'« intended remarks. Looking at Mr. 7Vfr,liC 
re(M-aied, that the senate would not deny him that oppnrtar.iiy; 
and .Mr. Tyler was understood to tay, that ceruinly he would 
not be denied. 

Mr. n. next came to the proposition in the report In amend 
the constitution lor eight years, to enable congreaa to make 
di-*tribution among the states, territories and District ofColam- 
bia, of the annual surplus of public money. The aurplua li 
carefully ealculateil at $9,0(K).0U0 per annum for eichi years; 
and the rule of diii|ribution assumed. go«s to divide that sen 
into as many i>hnre« as there aie senators and reprevenlativrsia 
coiigres!-; each stale to take shares according to her represenla- 
lioii: which the report shows wnuld give for each share pre- 
cisely $:Mi,4n5, and then leaves it lo the stale itself, by a litllC 
cvpliering, in multiplying the aforesaid sum of $30,405 by ibe 
whole number of senators nnd representatives which if lasy 
have in congriss, lo eiilculaie the annual amount nf the stipend 
It wnuld receive.* I'Jiis process llie report extends through a 
periiNl of eiglii years; so that Ihe whnle sum lo he divided lo 
the slates, ii-rriiorie« anil District of Columbia, will amount It 
seventy two millions of dollars. 

Of all the prnpn«iiions which he ever wlfneiised. broogbl 
forward to n< ton i!>h the senses, lo confound recollection, aad 
to make him itoubi the rcility of a past or present scene, this 
prnposiiion said .Mr. It. eclipses nnd distances the whole! 
What! the senate nf the I'mti'd States— not only the same 
s«>naie, hut the same members, silting in the same chair*, 
htnkiiig in each i>ther's faces, remembering what each had siid 
only a fi w short months ago, now to he called upon to m^ks 
an alteration in the constitution of the I'niled States, fiw ihc 
purpose of dividing seventy two millions nf surplus mnner ia

a word almui the currency ilself. The very word necnis 
e dropped from the vocahularv of gentlemrn. All lips 
nI tighi, all tonsuen hU5ihed »iill, all nllusion avoided, to 
once dear phrane. The nilver currency doubled in a year; 
millions ol gold coined in half a year; exchanges reduced 
« lowest and moni nr.ifnnn raleF; Ihn whole expenses of 
ynm paid in gold; working people receiving gold and silver 
lieir ordinary wages, t^uch are ihe re.vulls which have 
inaoded ihe profits of woe, nilenred the tongue of lamenia- 
expelled the word CURRRN'CY from our dibaten; and

II, the future infallibiiy of tho«ie undaunted alarminis who 
ID forward with new and confident predictions, notwith- 
ting they havR been so recently and so connpicuounly de- 
td in their vnticinaiionn of a ruined currency, a bankrupt 
nry and a beggared covernment. 

It here we are, said Mr. B. actually rncaged in a serious 
iwifion In alter the conniliition of ihe I'niled Slates for the 
id nf eight yearn, in order to get rid of surplus revenue; and 
St daxAliiiff, eeducilviiand fanclnalinsnoheme in presented; 
w than nine millions a year for eight con^ecniive yearn. 
Yfc like wild Are, Mr. R. nnid, and he had seen a member— 
hat might seem too particular— he had seen a gentleman 
looked u|inn it as eniNbll^ihing a new era in the alTiirn of 
Imerica, enlabliyhini a new teat for the formaiion of par- 
bringing a new queniinn into all our elections, male and 
aly and operating the political nalvniion, and elevation of 
bo supported il, and the immediate, utter and irretrievable 
leal damnation of all who opposed it. But Mr B. dis- 
ii from the novelty of Ihe scheme. It was an old acquaint- 
nf hi«, only new vamped and new furninhed, for the pre- 
oeeanion. l\ in the >iame proposition, only to he accom- 
ed in a difTeienl way, which wna brought fhrward some 

afo bf a senator (tvm New Jeraey, (Mr. Dirk^n^n), and 



lowance from the iNiunty of thf? federal govemmeni; the de- 
liaucliinent of the public nioraln, whtra every cilisen waa to 
look to the lederal iieaxury h*r money, and every candidate for 
i»rfice wan to outbid Inn competitor in olTenng it; the eonM>lida- 
iioni> oi Ihe niatetr, thiin re^ulting from a central *uppiy of re- 
venue; ihi; lifily ol coileciiiig With one hand, lo pay back Willi 
Ihe other, and both hnndn to be grei sed at the expense of the 
citixen who payn one man to collect the money for him, and 
another lo bring it back to him, n<ntis, ihe interest and ihe coal 
of a double operrfiion in fetching and carrying; and the eveu- 
tnal and inevitable piogre^s of the scheme to Ihe plunder of 
the weaker halfof the union by the stronger; when Ihe stronger 
half wonlil undoubtedly throw ilie whole burthen of raising the 
money u|ion the weaker half, and then lake the main portion 
to theinnelves. Hui'h were the main objections uttered aiainst 
\\il4 plan ^even yearn ago, when a gallant non of 8. Carolina, 
(!!«-nerHl llayiie), mood by hin, Mr. B's ride — no, stood befiire 
hini,and led liirn in the dglit agninnt that fatal and delusive 
nchrnie, now bronghl forward under a more seductive, dan- 
crroun, alarming, inexcusable, unjustifiable and denofalisiaf 
liirm. 

Yen, said Mr. B. it Is not only ihe revival of ihe same plan 
for diviiliiig surplus revenue, which received its eonden nation 
on thin floor seven or eight years ago, but it Is the oindiica- 
tion,and that in a form infinitely worse for the new atatet, of 
the fanions land bill which lies npon our table. It takes up 
Ihe object of ihat bill, and tun;* away with it, giving nine mil- 
lionn where that gave three, nnd leaves ihe aaihor of that Mil 
oil I of night behind; nnd can the gentleman from 8. Carolina, 
(.Mr. Cu/Aoun), be so short sighted as not to nee that aomebody 
will play him the same prank, and come forward with propoei- 
tionn to mine and divide twenty, thirty, forty millions, and 
thus ouileap, out Jump nnd out run him in the race of popu- 
larity, just as far an he himself has now out Jumped, out leap- 
ed and out run the author of the land dintribniion bill^ 

Yen, naid .Mr. B. this scheme for divided surplus revenue la 
an old acquaintance on this floor; but never did il cone upon 
thin door at a lime no inauspicious — under a form so queatioaa- 
ble — and U|Min an^tumplionn no unfounded in fact, so delusive 
in argument. lie would "peak of the inausplciousnesa of the 
time hereafter; at pr«sent, he would take positions ia direct 
coniiadiction lo all the arguments of fact and reason upon 
which thin m«mnirou<< scheme of dmtribution is erected and de- 
fended. Condensed into their essence, these arguments are; 

1. I'hat there win be a surplus of nine milliona annually fot 
eight yearn. 

a. That there is no way to reduce the revenue. 

3. That there in no object of general utility to which tbeaa 
surplunes can be applied. 

4. That di^iribiiiion is the only way lo carry them off with- 
out poisoning and corrupting the whole body politic. 

Mr. B. dinputed the whole of those proponitions, and would 
undertake to show each to be unfounded and eironeono. 

1. The report says that the surplus will probably equal, on 
the average, for the next eight years, the sum of ^,000,900 be- 
yond the jiist wants of the government;* and in asubsequeal 
pari, it k>nyn, supposing the surplus to be distributed should 
average nine millions ol dollars, annually, as estimated, it would 
give to each share 90,405 dollars, which, multiplied by Ibe ee- 
nators and represenlaiives of any stale, would show the turn 10 
which it would be entitled. f The amendment which has been 
reiKiited to carry this distribution inio elTeci, is to lake eflecl 
for the year lK)j-^the present year— and to continue till the Aral 
day of January, 1843; of course it is inclusive of 184S, and makeo 
a period of eight years for the dintribuliun lo go on. The amend- 
ment contains a blank, which is to be filled up with the anm 
which is to be left in the treosury every year, to meet contin- 
gent and unexpected demandn; and the report showa that thia 
blank is to be filled with the sum of two milliona of dollaia. 
Here then is the totality of these surpluses, eleven milliona a 
year for eight consecutive years, out of which nine milliona are 
lo be taken annually for diniribution. Now nine times eight aro 
seventy two, so that here is a report selling forth the enormoaa 
sum of $7:12,000,000 ol mere surplus, afler saiisiying all the Juit 
wants of the government, and leaving two millions in Ihe trea- 
sury, to be held up for diniribution, and to excite the people to 
clamor for their shares of such a grtat and dasxiing prixe. At 
the same time, Mr. B. said, there would be no such surplus. Il 
wan a deliinive bail held out to whet the appetite of the peopio 
for the spoils of their country, and could never be realised eveii 
if the amendment for authnriniiig the distribution should now 
pass. The seventy- two millions could n«ver be found; they 
would exlnl no where but in Uiis report, in the anthoi's imagi- 
noiion, and in the deluded hopes of an excited community. The 
seventy two millions could never be found; they wouM turn 
out to be the **fellows in Kendal green and buckram sniio." 
»hich figured no largely in the imagination of sir John Falstafll-— 
the two-and Hrty men in buckram which the valiant old knight 
rcccivi d upon his point thun! (extendhig a pencil in Ihe attitude 
of defence). The calculations nf the author of the report were 
wild, delusive, astonishing, incredible. He (Mr. B.) could no| 
limit himself to the epithet wild, for il waa a clear cose of hal- 
lucination.

Nia of purplu*! Lei u* nee. Let iii take one wiimir branch 

■ general system of defence, and sre liow it hiands, and 
it would c<ih^ to put it in the condition which the safHy 

be honor of the country demanded, lie «tpoke ol the for- 
limis, and selected that branch because he had data to go 
; data to which the seiinior fnun ::^outh Carolina, the an- 
of Ihts report, could not object. 

■ design, said >1r. D. of fortifying Ihe coa«!t!< of the Cniied 
!S, i« as old as the union ilsiif. Our doi-iimi'iiti< are full of 
alive reconimendaiioiis, dfiwiriinenlHl report^, and rf purts 
•aiOBillees, upon this* subject, all ursmg tliM areat otiJHci 

Ihe attention of consrcss. From 17MI, ihroiieh evrry hnc* 
ing administration, the subject was prerenifd to congrHr'j*; 
it was only afttr the late war, and when the evils of a de 
!l«SH coai*t were fresh before (he eyes of tin' people, that ili*- 
■«l was presented in the ino<t impre^nive pfr^evi rins and 
tmaiic form. An ensineer of the rfrst rank (sen. Hirnnrd) 
taken into our service from the school nf the zreat \apo- 
A reaolution of the house of reprci'eiiiaiives called on 
var deparinient for a plan of defence, and a de*ienalion of 
y adequate to the prolectiou of the country; and u|Hin this 
maminaliuim were made, cstimal«>s framed, and lortn pro- 
d for the whole maritime coast, from Savannah to Boston. 
r«sult was the presentation, in m-21,of a plan for ninety 
upon that part of the coa^i; nami-lv,t!-l of the flrst clnf'; 
r the second; and 43 of the ibird. Under th** adminisira- 
of Mr. Monroe, and the urcent recommendations or the 
bead of the war department, (Mr. Calhoun), the com-truc- 
of these forts was commmctd, and piishf-d with spirit and 
'hy; bat owing to circum-iances, not n< ces-ary now to be 
lied, the object declined in public favor, lost a part of itx 
ilarily, perhapa justly, and has since proceeded so slowly 
at the end of twenty years from the late war, no more than 
een of these forts have lieen constiucted; namely, 8 of the 
class, 3 of the second, and 2 of the third; and of thfse thir- 
constructed, none are armed: alino!>l all of thini are with- 
pins or carriages, and more ready for the occnpatinn of an 
ay than for the defence of ourselves. This i« the state of 
Acations on Ihe maritime coast, exclusive of the New Eng- 
coajtlo the north of Boston, exclu<<iv«of Cape Cod, south 
OMon, and exclu«ive of the Atlantic coast of Florida. The 
rrottiier ia untouched. The gulf frontier, almost two ihoii- 
I miles in length, barely Is dotted with a few forts in the 
hborhood of Tensacoln, New Orleans and Mobile; nil the 
of the coast may be set down a-* naked and defenceless. 
I was our condition. Now Mr. K. did not venture to give 
pinion that the whole plan of forilAcaiions developed in 
wports of 1831, should he carried into t ffcct; but he would 
■nd that most confidently, that much of ii oiielit to be; and 
raid be the business of conizress to decide on each fort in 
int a specific appropriation for it. lie would also say, that 
tf roita would be found to he necesiiary which were not ern- 
ed fn that plan; for it did not touch the lake coast, and the 
eoAst, nor the New England coast north of Ronton, nor any 
It of the land frontier. Without goins into the question at 
of how many were necessary, or where they should be 
•d, it waa sufficient to show that there were enough want- 
koyond dispute, to constitute an object of utility, worthy of 
UIIomI eipeoditure, and sufficient to absorb, not nine niil- 

■ tHT aBBUAl aurpliia, to be aurei but about aa many miUiona 



of surplus as would ever be found, and the bank atocii into ih« 
bargain. The thirteen forts constructed had cost 1:1,113,000 
dollais; near one uiillion of doll.irs each But this waa for 
construeiion oiil>; the arinamenl wan still to fidlow; and for 
llii>objeri ."VJ.OOn.OOO were ei.ti mated III leSl for the ninety forts 
then rec-onniiended, and of that two millions it may he assum- 
ed thai but little ha.* been grnnled by congress. So much for 
fortifications; in it^eli :t single brunch of defence, and sufficient 
to absorb many millions. 

Hilt ttiere wire many other branches of defence which Mr. 
Benton said, he would barely enumerate. There was the navy; 
imluding ii> gradual increase; Its dock yards; its navy yarda; 
tin n the armories and arsenal", which were so much wanted in 
the south and west, and eKpecially in the south, for a reason, 
(boidcK tliooc which apply to foreign enemies), which need not 
be iiiimed; then the supply of arms to the states, especially field 
nriillery, f.M'ord« and pi>iols, for which an annual, but inade- 
quate appropriation had been made for so long a lime, that he 
bi lieved the states had almost forgot the subject. Here are ob- 
jects enoui>li, Mr. I'lesident, exclaimed Mr. B. to absorb every 
diillarof our surplii«, and Ihe bank stock besides. The sur- 
plu-iei, he wan eeriain, would be wholly insufficient, and Ilia 
bank stock, by a '<oleniii reioluiion of the two houses of con- 
gress, should be devoied to the object. As a fund was set apart, 
and held siicred and inviolable, f^ir the payment of the publie 
debt, so should a fund be now created for national defence, 
and this bank >tork should be the first and most sacred item 
|Hit into it. It in Ihe only way to save that st«ick from becom* 
ing the prey of ince<^<aiit contrivances to draw money from tha 
I'ea^ury. Mr. I>. said that he intended to submit the rcMdn- 
timis, rr-qui'siiDc the preoiilent to cause to be coininunicated to 
the next eonsn xs r'lill infftiinHlinn upon all the piiints that he 
had touch' d, the probable n venue and expenditure for the neat 
ei<!ht year-i; the pl.m and exp(■n^e of fortiiyin^ the coast; the 
navy, {iiiil every other point connecl*'d with the general and 
pernianeiit deiVnce of the uiiii>n, wiiha view to let congress take 
it lip. upon hyotrin, and with a design to complete it without 
further delay* And he demanded, why hurry on this amend- 
ment before that inlormation can come in.' 



*The reMdiiiifMis, embracing twelve heads of Inquiry, bavo 
been ^ublnilled. They are the follnwini*: 

Kr»Q/rrr/, That ihe precident be requt>ted to cause informa- 
tion to be laid before the senate at the commencement of tha 
next I'eM'ion of conzress, on the following piiints: 

1. TheHUionni o| revei ue which may be reduced on dutiable 
ntiieles, wiihoui afTectiiig the protection intended to be conti- 
nued by the act of March 'Jd, 1f33, to dtuiiesiic manufacturera. 

i. The aine'iint of net revi>nue which will probably be re- 
ceiveil from cn>ionis Ironi Ii^3C to IH4i2, inclusively. 

3. The amount of revenue which will protiably be received 
from public landx for the same period, If no change takea place 
in the price ofl.mds. 

4. The anioiini of revenue from the same source, if the price 
of the rt fii!>e lands chonld be reduced, and the lands should be 
so di-cpixed or«H to pioiiioie the setilenieiit of the country, and 
should erase to be a source of revenue, except to defray Ihe ex- 
pense of their management, and of extinguishing the Indian 
titles. 

.'». The times and prnportinn« in which the amount of stock 
held in the bank of the United States will probably be returned 
to the treasury, if no act be passed by congre»8 fur the sale of 
said i«tock. 

6. The probable amnant of the ezprndilures of the fovem- 
menl nnniially. to the end of the year 184*2 

7. IMie state of the fortification*, so as to show the number 
of forts of the firi-t, second, and third classes, now constructed 
in the United State; the number heretofore proposed and re- 
commended by the war di-pnrimenl, but not yet constructed; 
and ttie number which would probably be necessary to Ihe 
lompUte and ndoquate defencp of the lake, maritime, and gulf 
frontiers of the United Siaiei, and Kuch points ol the land fron- 
tier a^ may be believed to require permanent forliftcatinna. 

8. The amount expended, since 1810, in constructing forta, 
and the amoiiut that would be necessary to complete the con- 
struction of the entire systetn of permanent fortifications for tiM 
United States. 

9. The amount which has been expended since 1816, In pro- 
viding for the fortifications, and the amount which would pro- 
bably be necessary to complete the armament of all fortifica- 
tions required for the defence of the United States. 

10. The amount which would probably he necessary to con- 
struct an adequate number of armories and arsenals in the U, 
Slates, and to nupply the slates with field artillery— especially 
brass pieces— for their militia, and with side arms and plalola 
for their cavalry. 

11. The amount expended, since 1816. in the gradual inereaae 
ofthenavy,on navy yards and dock yards, and the amount 
neces«nrv lo be expended on each of these objects, to place the 
navnl defence of the United Stales upon the footing of strength 
and respectability which is due to the aecurity and the welfiira 
of the union. 

1*2. And that Ihe president be requested to cause tobecooH 
municated lo the senate, at the same lirne, any other informa- 
tion connected with the revenue and expenditure of the govern- 
ment, and with the defence of the union, which shall come 
within the scope of the foregoing inquiries, or which in bla 
judgment shall be ncceseary to be communicated.

— Hnd w«» pubiiftlied in an I'xinn »heel aiiiiended to the 
third voluiue of Uie /ieffttter. TJnf one liMvinc; a perioil 
of aboui 53 yeiirt, unU the other of 23 yeirs— -but arc as

When Mr* Coxe prepared hit eftmy, the amonnt of

■mae jcnnie* had been introduced, and were in u»e, at 
the time. In the latt year, 1834, the export of cotton 
Wft*37ri,f»dl,9rOlbii. and its ^^lue 49,44S,4uS dnllnr*— 
iti whole produet being not Ie« than 460 fnillioiii of

Xor are ilie re marks about coal, the manufsieture of

^wlth the appronching tcarcity 0/ fuai, leaa worthy of no- to refute the right of suffrage to any o» ■

To the taller we ihall add another, shewing our opinion 
of their amount at the preienl time — and other points 
will also be stated, in contrast. I'he current value of the 
fnannfaeuirei of the United Stalen, aeconling to Mr, 
CoxeU clauiSeation, certainly exceeds jlfzw hwitlred mil- 
liont ptT annum: and it is this mst amount of value, to- 
gether with that of cotton and other things espoHed,

Many »f tli« apeciilaiora here are ripr of small meann. Uni

Ihan iiHiii*>y. A man who is not the owner of one hundred dul-

amail advance, and poi-ket the proflr, merely trannferrins all the 
respnnNihiliiiea fr»ni hi* own shoulders to ihofc of some other

a«cret »f**lrade and commerce*' in this hot bed of speculation 
and enterprise. 

The len lots of land which were sold yesterday at 11 and 
1900 dollars per lot, were purchased for the turn of .«9,500 of a 
Boston fenilrman, who took the land for a bad drbt. Hiire is 
au Increase for land! But this is an every day itory in Uungor. 

JKofe tnn^M. Among the private sale of land at Bangor, la»l 
week, was that of a township owned by llr>njnmin Krownje'q. 
nf Vai'siNlhurouxh, for ^10 an acre, of 2-2,040 acri-s, nmounting 
lo ^300,400. His son Albert G. Brown, bonchl the township a 
frw years acn fnr less than ;97,00U. After Mr. Brown sold it at 
Bangor li\-*t week, for ten dollars per acre, it was fdld again ti» 
an Albany company for twelve dullnri per acir; milking it

[^iuguila Journal. 

The NewbMr>'pnrt Herald has the followinc Ihir hit at the mo- 
■mnianla, now prevailing alike at tlie eait, the wesif, the north 
and the sonih. The stnry mtty not be true; indeed, we dare not 
quite say we boti«:ve it literally iiurselvcs, but it has some truth 
aa an illuMiaiinn, al least. 

**li is rumored that one evening last week, two paupers es- 
caped from the Bangor almshouse, and though they were caught 
early the next morning, yet in the meantime, before thry were 
•eeoivA, they had made $I,8U0 each, by speculating in timber 
laoda." 

Bj the new militia law of Connecticut, revlvin}; the 
oliMaw, all ministers, doctoim and stndents, between 18 
and S5 years of age, are obliged to turn out and bear 
artna. 

We learn from a gentleman who has recently returned 
Trom a visit to the western parts oF New York that he 
wsft informed that the celebrated Indian chief CORN 
PJjANT is still living, at his residence near the source 
sf the Alleghany river, at the advanced age of 1 18 years. 
Fie is saidto enjoy excellent health and to be able to 
nount ami ride his horse with great ease: his wife and 
tit wife*s mother are also both still living, the first 108 
ind the latter lt28 years old. We doubt if there can be 
bund in any other one family in the world three per- 
sons of equally advanced ages!, 

The people of JMichit^an are already discussing the 
piestion, who nhall he tlieir senators and renruscntatives 
n eon^ss! There U time etiou^h yet. This ten'itory, 
ve thmk, has taken a very -short road to get into the 
inioii. 

A aplendid bridge is about to be conslnicted over the 
)liio river at Loui.nville, the estimated cost of which is 
^50,0(X> to $400,000. 



The JWar York jimrrican says- 
Much eiuluilion is evinced, by' the portti prrss, at the ap 
Hthitmeni, by the governor of .Mississippi, uf Mr. n'alkert as a 
enatnr of the United Siat«*.<, in the place of Mr. Poinde^ten 
hHr Joy will, however, be short livfd, since il ha!« liHin for 
nally derided by the senate of the Cniied State*, .>Ir. fan Bu 
en Mr. BerUon, and other unqiiestionahle patriots, sui<tainini;. 
ind voting for that deci:iion, that the expiration of a litnted 
cm of service of a senator. Is not such a vacancy, in the 
nnlemplation of the constitution, a< authorises the governor, 
n the recess of the Ifel^lature, to rtll it up. 
Mr. Walker, therefore, alihouKh he «hould present him-ielf 
t Washington, in December next, will not be admitted to a 
eat in the senate. 

[It is not at all certain that Mr. W. will be preferred 
y the people of Mississippi.] 

The ^^Harrithurqh fnleUi^eiicer^* says — 
'•The election of Joseph Kitnrr, as govpriior of the ronimnn- 
realih. 14 now placed bi'youil u douhi. fie will rercivr, we 
erily believf , a majority of some thousands over the uuiicd 
nu of IVolf and Muhlenberg. This glorious prospect should 
M however relax the elToris of the friends of the constitution 
■4 the laws. Prudent and eoocUiaiory, yet energetic mea- 



sures, should be taken to give (fleet to the victory. Penaey^ 
vania is the fit*i battle field where the people are to meet iba 
legions nf Van Huri-n. If we rescue this commonwealth from 
the pariifans of frderal dictation, we shall inspirit our frieiMla 
tbroushoiit the union; we shall take from our enemiea tlie 
almost impregnable batteries of state patronage, turn llieir owa 
eo'inef' oi war against themselves, and cut off all hope of sab- 
Jiig.-dini the key slono slate to him of Kinderhook. JLei it be 
renirinlieri'd, that the on/y direct road from the capitoliothM 
president's houte^ it throufih Penmylvanta avenue. Let ua en- 
tri-nrh onrsi-lves 111 power here, and the glory will be ourc of 
saving iho republic.'' 

[One of the greatest meetings that ever happened In 
Philafhrlphia whs held last week, at which it was resolr- 
eii to support Mr. Jiitner, by the whigs. Another like 
meeting was to be ht-ld at Pittsburgh. The office hold- 
I's, ought, surely, to make their calculation that he will 
be elected; and turn about in time to save their placefr-* 
if tbty can.] 

We learn from the Pbiludi:1|ihla Innuirer, that the 
new sleantbdat Constitution, cnpt. J. Jcm-ics, left Ches- 
nut street wharf, on Monday morning at 5 o*clock for 
('ape May. She made her passage down in 7 hours and 
V2 minutes — came up in 5 hours and 43 minutes. Thia 
is unparalleled — no other boat ever made her passages to 
and from Cane May in one flay — or, we may say, in daj« 
light. Mr. hennett, the pilot of the Constitution, in- 
forms us that she has proved to be a first rate sea boat, 
as they had to encounter a atrong westwardly wind com- 
ing up the bay. 

The annual exports of the town of -WwflrAr, N. J. 
are ascertained to amount to fijf^hi mitUont of doUara^ 
chiefly in the productions of the mechanic arts. The 
people are about to establish lines of packets to the 
soiitliern states, and South America, &c. 

There is an immense amount of travelling between 
Patersop and New York-^bc rail road being finished. 
Persons in the latter can now leave home at 3 P. M. 
visit the falls of the Passaic, and return to tea. 

A vessel arrived in Boston, landed from 50 to 80 Irish 
passengers, men, women and children, and immediately 
sailed again. The passengers refused to give any infor- 
mation in i*elation to the vessel, or to tell whence they 
came, and their baggage was seized by the custom house. 
The Boston Post, however, says that the vessel was the 
schooner Caroline, from Eastport, and that the captain 
had been arrested and held to bail for the offence. 

Very large quantities of wheat are now imported into 
western New York from Canada. 

One of the neatest compliments on record is that paid 
by lord Camden to Fox, that **his jirice was immortali- 
ty, and he knew that posterity would jiay it.*' 

It is estimated by GutzlufF that China contains 
.301,000,000 of inhabitants, to an area of 1,400^000 
square miles; giving 2.')i inhabitants per mile. Thia la 
less than Ireland, uhicli has a population of 858 per 
square mile. It is calculated that the population of lino- 
land increases faster than any other country of the tame 
extent in the world. China is supi>osed to be next. 

Woor.. The ffdiowing article from the Commercial List and 
Phil:id< Ipliia Price Current, of Saturday last, is deserving itaa 
attention of farmers geiif rally: 

This article is becoming one of the greatest importance loour 
country, indeed, it would be diincult tn account for its culture 
iniviii;; ijo long been ii«'|!lfcted, win re all the means of produc- 
ing il are m\ abundant. We know of no pan of the world wliere 
wool iiaK brt-n higher on an avi'raef', for the last ten years, than 
in tliiii couniry; and no one bdier calculated to raise it for ex- 
!»ori, than this. Iii>tead of nmkin; it an article of remiliaace 
to Kurope, we have been, and are at present, importing it in 
large quantities, the iin|M)rter realising (it is said) a fair pruflt 
for his enti'rprize. Ily the growth and manufacture of wool, 
Rneland has added iniinrnsely to licr wealth and power. Her 
clip has hi'i-n esiiinaird for some years past, to exceed one hun- 
dr*-d und forty niiMioiis of |)ounds annually; while here, wiib a 
tfoil and climate birtier adapted lor in growth, with landa al 
abniii niii*-iiuhtli lilt* price, 2tiid len times more extensive, we

in \^^^ lifter a cireful inve^Utiation, the number of sheep la 
the United Stales weie estimated at twenty millions, producing 
Ally millions of ponnds o< wool. At the present dme a fiUr ea- 
timate would probably be abova twenty eight millioos.

the eifil and religious dctpntiim of I'urkey have, for a 
•csriea of years, done so much for domestic and foreign 
consumption. 

There is an iroporttutt rrtison for promoting our own 
cotton manu fact urea, arising otit of the present circum- 
•tAnect of the East Indies, We rereivc from thence 
l^real quaulilies of cotton goods, which arc not (as the 
manufactures of (.iri-at Driinin) made out of our own 
cotton. The use of ttiose EaiI India cotton goods i* 
ctoubty inhtrioMii: first, because wc do not manufacture 
tbeiUj and, secotkttly, because we do not produce the coi- 
fon of which ibt y ai«e inade. Though those ports of 
India belong to Great Britain^ the piirliumeiiil ha^ abso- 
lately prohibited the eonwimption of their cotton manu- 
fketurea in Britain and Ireland. Those gomls, of eonirse, 
eorac to u« in much grenter qnimtities to rival the foreign 
ttnd domestic maoufHClurei of onr eotton. If we were to 
vefuse or burden the importation, the Brittih East Indian, 
ivould extend the culttvaiion of sug;ir, coffee, cocoa„ gin- 
ger, spices, pt me olo, a rnulto and other things adapted 
to their climate, which we consume and do not ourselves 
^produce. They would manufacture more »ilk«, more 
•altpetre and other fabrics, which we might i-equire and 
*dmttf beoaiiae tbey do not iiyurc our agricidlure^ nor I 



interfere with our cautious, but steady and uuceasin|f en- 
deavors to establish the Atueriean ntunufacture of co(toii 
goods. 

Jt is obvious to every uum of correct informalion rela* 
tive to the four orlg^inul eastern slates, that ihey ace In a 
very »i*rious situation «s to wood And fuel. I'heir huthl- 
in^s are very generally of wood, and require lai^e quan- 
tities of hoai>d4, scHntiing and logs to ketrp them in re* 
pair. Much wood h aUo wanted for new buildings, old 
a»ul new fences *hips and boats, cM«ki for their fish, pot 
aih, siiirits, beef, pork, molasses, fttc, and for the house- 
hold Itiei anil workman's fuel. Their populutioi* is gr**i»t 
and increasing. They hwve no mines of caul. The coal 
rnine* t*f the east arc all in the bands of the BriliBh colo- 
nists. On those facts an important suggcstiun i» respect- 
fully ftubmiUed to the coiiiiidecaiion of the people of the 
Mates east of the ehip chaiinel of the Hudson; that In 
every system of meanures to promote ihe domestic or in- 
ternal jnduiti7 of thoie slates, endeavor* ^thould be made 
to avoid new eollt for wood and fuel of vyfry ktnd. 
This suggestion is of a deeper intrinsie tnriportaiicc than 
mny appear at first view to those to nhom it ii new. 
We Will offer, os two examples^ the BriUidi munufacturct 
uf iron and the British manufactures of cotton. W'c be* 
lieve that the perfuanent and extensive estnblithinent of 
the British manufactnres of iron, in the states east of thei 
parts of the Hudson navigable by sh«p% would prove 
vert" difljeuti from the total want of mines, pit or fossil 
cnal^ from the scjircity of wood for making charofial, 
from the grcRt scarcity of peat and turf there, and fi-om 
the scarcity of wood for fuel and buildtne^. But wc be- 
lieve, that the venc small use of fuel in tlie cotton manu- 
facture itself, and'the limited use of fuel by ihe people 
in that branch,, which, eftected by muehinery, require* 
little fire to warm the small proportion of persons em- 
ployed, are circumstances plainly anil greatiy in favor of 
the adoption of the cotton brainch jo the eastern tiarts of 
the Cniled States. It is certain, ttuit wooil is become 
extremely soure to all ihe otd eontities east of Hudson** 
river, and ttvat not one nroniluetive coal mine has been 
discovered between the Uelawiire river nod the easieni 
hoMhdMry of ihe Uniteil States. The wood and timber 
of \f nine are consuming with gre«t impidity, and since 
fivights are reduced by peace, will go Irtrlh in imtnense 
qnuntitiei. It i* so *li stunt (rom Comiecnrut, Rhode 
l<t.hitid and Providence, and Ma**»Hhn«etts p*o|rtrt tluit 
it will become :i dear, us well as a itten* tem(Mirary 
source of supjdy to them for limberand fuel, tf niNinif;iC' 
lures by fire, employing numerous persoiin, who muiktbe 
kept warm lo a moist and eold elimaie, are to he etten- 
sivety and permanently pursued. The Inie manofaetur* 
ing pcdiey of our eastern slates is to eairv to the utmost 
alf household mftnufaetuies^ and establinh factories by 
hihor-iaving macltinery at the heads ol their sliip or boat 
navigation, where they can derive tl(e highest possible 
degrt'c of benefit of ilieir own wood and fuel, and uf 
w ood and fuel imported cnaslwiae or from foreign ports. 
Cotton it will be found, therefore, is the pro(K nut raw 
mnteriid for them to employ. The tamo remarks apply 
to Xew Jersey and Delaware In full force. 

If the north eastern moiety of the United States sbsll 
forthwith establish extensive and profitable maoufaclnrcs 
cmployiog cotton, which can be raised in immense quan- 
tiliefl in the southern states, it will bind the members of 
our union more and more together. To defend, pro- 
mote aod preserve our union, is the fondest object of 
every sound mind, of every faithful heart, native or fo- 
reign, which pai^lakes jti the numemus blessings of our 
country. 

It is beyond ii doubt, that ibe use of ©ollon cloth for 
the under garments of man, next to the skiti, contributes 
gn*atly to h»'fttlh, in damp, chilly and cold climatti. In 
this view, shii-ling, sheeting and hosiery of cotton would 
prove far more salubrious fhan of flax, in eeitain sea- 
sons, in every quarter of America, ynd particularly in 
the parts enii of the Ifuds<>n. 

E%'erT extensive manuf^it^lory that depends on a foreign 
mw material, is ettremtty precarious. Iif.^cnuse foreign 
laws, treaties and wars may diminiih or pit^venl the im- 
portation. But as cotton is raiseil by ourselves, anil will 
ever be reflundanl, the cotton manufacture will rest upon 
a more certain foundation than a manufacture wbiub 
should emptcy ftoy other raw material whaCever.

NILES' REGISTER— JUNE 27, 1 8 «— STEAMBOATS AND STEAM WAGONa W7 



Mr. Jackioo proves that lie titiders'.ooc] nie well, for he 
h«« Utely written letters, (Iccltii-ing lliat about twenty-six 
years before their date, 1 ilid deiicribe to him the priiici- 
|iles or the steam engine thtit I ha\e ftiiice put into oi»era- 
lion to dri\e mills, which he has set*n — iin<l that 1 also 
explained to hint my plun Tor propellin*; boats by m} 
•team etisine, witli ptidilU: tcfieeU, di-scnbing the %ery 
kind of wheels now used for this purnobe; nnil diat I then 
«leclared to him m\ intention to apply my engine to this 
|iarticular ol^ect as soon as my pecuniary circumstances 
would iiermiL 

In the year 1800 or 1801, never having found a man 
willing to contribute to the expense, or even to encou- 
rage me to risk it myself, it occurred to me that though 
I was then in full iHrulth, I might be suddeidy carried off 
bv the yellow fever, tlial had so often visited our city, 
('I'hiladclphia), or by some other disease or cMsualty to 
which all are liable, and tiial 1 had not yet divcharged 
|My debt of honor to tlie state of JMarylinid by producing 
llie steam wagon. 1 dcterntined, therefore, to set to 
work the next day and construct one. I first waited uji- 
cm Robert PaUertttn^ esq. profesHor of mathematics in 
tlitt Hniversity of PemisyUania, and explained to him my 
lirtiiciples, as 1 also did to >lr. Chiulet Taylor ^ steam 
engineer, from England. Thev both declared these prin- 
ciplea to be new to them, and highly worthy of a fair ex- 

Ceriment, advising me without delay to prove them: in 
opes I might produce a more simple, cheap and power- 
ful steam engine than any in use. These gentlemen were 
die only |iersons who had such confitlcnce, or alforded 
ine aueh advice. I also conmiunicaled my plans to il. 
U. lMlrohe,w\. at the same time; uho publicly pro- 
nounoed them chimerieHl, und Mttenii»tid to demonstrate 
the absurdity of my principles, in his report to the P/U' 
im»obhicul toviety of Pennttulvunia on stram engines; in 
tt'hicii same ii-port he also altempts to shew the impossi- 
Ifitity of making steamboats useful, on account ot the 
w«i|^ht of tlie engine; and I wa^one of the persons allud- 
ed tu, as being si'ixe<l with the tteam maiiitiy conceiving 
•hat w-agons and boats could be pro|>ellcd by steam en- 
f^iiiea. The lil»eraiity of the members of the society 
rHiiscfl tnem to reject that pHrt of his report which he 
<lesij^ied as drmonstralive ul ihe absurdity of my prin- 
ciples; saving they had no right to set up their opinion 
aia ■ stumbling block in the ruH<l of any excrlionsto make 
a diaeovrry. They sai<l, 1 miglit prtiduce something use- 
f*il, and ordered it to be strickvn out. What a piiy they 
4i<I not also reject his denioiihtrations resi»eeling steam- 
boatii! for notwilhslanding them, they hare run, uiv now 
rumiing, an<( will run: so has my engine and all its prin- 
eiples complettly succeeded — and m> nill land carriages, 
as soon as these principles are applied to them, as ex- 
liltained to the l(gi:»latui*u of Maryland in 1787, and to 
others long befoi*e. 

Ill consequence of the determination above alluded to, 
1 hired hands and uent to work to mnke a steam wagon, 
and had made considerable progress in the undertaking, 
wlten the thought sti-uck nie that as my steam engine was 
c-iitiroly ililfcrent in form as well as in its principles from 
all others in use, that 1 could get a imtcnt for it, and a|i- 
|ily it to mills more profitably than to wagons; for until 
now I apprehended that as steam mills had been used in 
Kii^Iand, 1 could oidy obtain a iiatent fur wagons and 
iNMits. 1 stopped the uork immediately, anil discharged 
ray hamls, until I could arrange my engine for mills, lay- 
ing aside the steam WMgon for a time of more leisure. 

Two weeks aiti-rwards, 1 commenced the construction 
of a small engine for a luill to grind plaister of Paris — 
Ihe eilinder kix indies in <liameter, ami stroke of the pis- 
ton eighteen inches — iM'lieving that with $1,000 I could 
fully try the experiment, lint before I was done with 
cs|»erimeiiti, I found that 1 had expended $3,700 — all 
that 1 oouhl eommnnd. I had now to begin the world 
anev at the age of fortv-eight, with a large family to su|>- 
|iort. I had calculates) that if I failed in my experiment, 
the credit I had uould be entirely lost; and without mo* 
«iey or credit, at my advanced a;je, with many heavy in- 
ciiiiihi'ani;cs, my way thrangh life apfieared dtirk and 
i;IiMMnT ind«'(.>fl.' But 1 succeeded peif»*eth Hithmylit- 
tl«* engine, ami preserved my credit. ] could break and 

{irind dOt) bushels of plaister of Paris, or VI tons, in 24 
tours; and to sliew its opirations more fully to the pub- 



wrhere the driving of twelve saws, in heavy framea, mw» 
iiig at the rate of 100 feet of marble stone in IS Iioura, 
made a great shew, and excited much attention. 1 thought 
this Has sufficient tu convince the thonsands of spectators 
of the utility of my discovery: but I frequently heaitl 
them inquiix* if the power could be upplied to miw tim- 
ber as well as stone, to grind grain, propel boats, &e. 
and though 1 answered in the affirmative, I foimd they 
still doubted. 1 therefore determined to apply my en- 
giue to all new uses to iutroduce it and them to the pub- 
lic. 

This experiment completely tested the correctness of 
my principles, accoiding to my most sanguine hopci. 
I'he power of my engine rises in a geometrical pro|ior- 
tion, while the consumption of fuel has only an aritlime- 
tical ratio; in such proportion that e\ery time I added 
one-fourth more to the consuniption of fuel, ihe powers 
of the engine Here doubled; and that twice the quantity 
of fuel reqniivd to drive one saw «onld drive 16 saws, at 
li'ast; for Hhen 1 drove two saws the consumption was 8 
bushels coal in 1*2 hours, but when IS saws were driven, 
the consumption was not more than 10 bushels; so that 
the more we resist the steam the greater is the eflect of 
the engine. On these principles, \ery light, but |iower- 
ful engines, can be made, suitable for propelling boats 
and land carnages, without the great incumbrance of their 
own weight, as mentioned in Mr. LatrobeU demonstra- 
tions. 

In the year 1804, 1 constructed at my works, situate a 
mile and a half from the water, by order of the board of 
health of the cilv of Philadelphia, a machine for cleansing 
doiks. It consisted of a large flat, or scow, with a steam 
engine of the power of five horses on board, to work ma- 
chinery to raise the mud into flats. This was a fine op- 
Eortunity to shew the public that my engine could propel 
oth land and water carriages, and I resolved to do it. 
When the work was finished, 1 put wheels under it; and 
though it was equal in weig^it to t-wo hwifhed barreh •/* 
^our, and the wheels fixed with wooden axletrees, for 
this temporary purpose, in a ver)' rough manner, and 
with great friction, of course, yet with this small engine 
I ti'an8i)orted my great burthen to the SchiiylkiU witAi 
ease; and, when it was launcheil in the water, 1 fixed a 

J>addle wheel at the stern, and drove it down the SchityU 
:iU to the Delaxaare^ and up the Delaware to the city, 
leaving all the vessels goine up behind me, at least, hdf 
wav; the wind being a-heach 

Some wise men undertook to ridicule my ex|M*rioM!nt 
of propelling this great weight on land, because the mo- 
tion was too slow to be useful. I silenced them by an- 
swering, that 1 would make a carriage, to be propelled 
by steam, for a bet of $.3,(KX), to run upon a level road 
against the swiftest horse they would produce. I was 
then as conAdent as I am now that such velocity could 
be given to carriages. 
Having no doubt of the great utility of steam carriaMS 



on good turnpike roads, with proiier anrangements Tor 
supplying them with water and fuel, and believing that 
all turnpike companies w ere deeply interested in putting 
them into operation, because they would smooth and mend 
the roails, instead of injuring them as the narrow wliecis 
do, on the Sfith of September, 1804, I submitted to the 
consideration of the I^ncaster turnpike eomiiany, a 
statement of the cost and profits of a steam carriage to 
carry 100 barrels of flour, 50 miles in 34 hours — tending 
to shew, that one such steam carriage would make more 
net profits than ten wagons drawn by 10 horses each, 
on a gno<l turnpike i*nad, and oflering to huild soeh a 
carriage at a ven low price. My address closed as fol» 
lows: 

**lt is too nitich for an individual to put in operation, 
every iinpro\ement which he may invent. 

**I have no doubt but that m^ engine will propel 
boats against the current of the Mississippi, and wagona 
on turnpike roads, with great pi*ofit I now call upon 
those whosf? interest it is, to can? this invention into ef- 
fect All which is respectfully submitted for your eon- 
sideration." 

In the year 1805, 1 publiNhed a hook describing the 
nrinciph's of my steam engine, with directions for worit- 
ing it, when apidicd to (iropel boats against the current 
of the JifUaiMippiy and carriages on turnpike roads. \nd

• •••«• 

If my proposition, published in this city on the 8th of 
October lust^ has excited the attention of any to the great 
object of establishing a line between Philadelphia and 
New Vork for the transportation of heavy produce, mer- 
cliaodisc and passengers, on carriages to be di-awn by 
■team engines ou railway or smooth roads, it may be pro- 

5er to submit for their consideration diiferent plans. Mr. 
ohu Ellicott, (of John), has suggested tlnit paths he 
made for the wheels of carriages to run on, of hard bub- 
stAnccs, such as turnpike roads are made of, with a rail 
between them set on jiusts, to guide the tongue of the car- 
riage, so that they might travel by night as well as day. 
Ulhcrt liave proposed lines of logs, flatted at the top, 
vilh • 3 ineli plank pinned on them, to bear the carriage 
and guide the wheels; these strips of planks to be renew- 
ed as often as necessary, and while tlie logs would last, 
aiid be sufficient to hold the pins, the expense of repairs 
would be trifling. 

Mr. Samuel More?, of New Hampshire, proposes 
tliat tbe two railways be laid as near each other as they 
will admit to let the carriages iiavs in opposite direc- 
tion!, and to cover the whole witii a slight shed to pro- 
teol the carriages, the ways, goods and passengers, Irom 
injili^ of the weather. 

It IS well worthy of consideration, whether either of 
(heae plans will nut be attended with much less ex|»ense 
than turnpike roads or canals, including the expense of 
making and keeping them in repair, and considering 
tliat the ways would not be so subject to be interrupted 
by frost. 

But when we compare the great expense of repairing 
turnpike roads, which arc travelled with narrow wheel- 
ed carriages, with heavy burdens, added to the expense 
of the great wear of the carriages, horses and harness lo 
tliat of wooden railways, and the carriages running on 
them, the result will be greatly in favor of the latter; and 
the difference will more than make and support a cover- 
ed way, even should it require to be renewed every ten 
yeara. 

• ••••• 

I renew ray pro|iosition, viz: as soon as cither of those 
plana shall be adopted, after having made the necessary 
experiments to prove the principles, and having obtain- 
ed the necessary legislative protection and patronage, I 
am willing to take of the stock, Ave hundi*i'd dollars a 
roUe, to tlie distance of 50 or 60 miles, payable in steam 
earriagct or steam engines, invented by me for the pui^- 
pote forty years ago, and will warnuit them to answer 
the purpose, to the satisfactior. of the stockholders, and 
even to make steam stages, to run twelve or flflecn miles 
per hoar, to take back the engines at my own ex|>ense if 
required. OLIVEU EVANS. 

From the AVw York Mercantile ^ Ailvocnte, 
The Car of Nejitunc, commandtrtl by Arthur II. Roor^ 
bach, eommcnced running in 1810, and probably was on 
the river in 1815, but the price of (lassage never exceed- 
ed ^, and tlie statu tax of one dollar. While on the 
Bub|eet of North river steamboats, we have obtained from 
eapt. Wiswall the following facts. The North river was 
the first boat built, in 1807, by Fulton, and commanded 
br eapt. W. She made her ]>assagcs on an average in' 
about 33 hours; the power of her engine, made by Rol- 
ton tc Wall, was estimated at 18 horses. The boat was 
origiDally 1(X) feet long, and in 1808 was enlarp^d and 
inereaaed in length about 112 feet, in breath 4. She had 
originallv 12 berths, tliu number of which was increased 
to SSL Fare $7 and found. She consumed about eight 
or ten eor<ls of wood. The Car of Neptune was the se- 
eond boat built, in 1808. The Paragon in 1811; the 
Richmoud in 18IS; the Chaneellor in 181G; the Kent in 



1824. The engines now employed in some steamboats, 
on the North river, are estimated to be from three to 
four huiidix-d and fifty horse power each.

to our northern boundary tine, and exienlion of jurhfdicliou to 
our cuiiiiiiiuiioiial boundarieir, as prescribed in au act of last 
«eMiiHi in derininK ihe bamv. 

The legi»laiuie, on the 33d of February laft, whh but one dis- 
senlhig vole, puziaed looiutionc, in which ii was declared, as 
ihu opinion oMhe general avMcinbly, that the territory contain- 
ed within the conifiitutional limits of Ohio, Ibrmed an integral 
pan or the dtaie, of which no power on varlh had a right lo dis-

they are properly entitled — that the vlati! had an iudivputabla 
righi to run out, and dei«i|>naie her northern boundary, in ac-

without allowing her public work« lo be longer suspended, or 
the inturcbi of her ciliz«'n« lo lie (uriher Jeopardized by the re-

They, on the yame day, pasfed, by the same vole, "An act 
deliniiig Ihe boundaries oi^ certain countiea within the stale, 
or for other pur|H)i»e»;" in which the boundnrieii oflhe counties 
of Wood, IJeiiry and Williams were extended to the line de- 
scribed III the comitiiuiion— two new town.thip4 were created in 
the county of Wood, and elections for jnntices of the peace and 
other officers were auihoriited undtr the laws of Ohio. This act 
made it the duly of nil ollicerti within the vi.ite, civil and mili- 
tary, Judicial and minirterial, who were authorised lo exercise 
juriMdiction within these counties, to cxiriid their Jurisdiction 
respectively, to ilic line described in aaid act. The >ainc act 
made it the duty of thf covernor to app'tint Ihree commiMion- 
erii, wlKMeduiy it .Oioulii be to re-mark that part of the said Una 
lying west ot Lake Krie, and commonly known as "Harris'

oppoinied by Ihe governor, to proceed, at a« early a day as prac-

and the coinuii!<#iiinerii ulniuld in due time, report to the gover- 
nor, Htatiiig the manner in which their duiies had been pv- 
lurined. 

I'hP act and resolutions were deposited In the office of the 
secretuiy of vtnte, on the day i hey were parsed; and, on the 
caniu day, Jonathan Taylor, of Licking county, Uri Heely, of 
Itcunga couniy, and John Patterfon, of Adams county, were 
AP|)ointed nnd eommiiiiijoned, by the governor, tu re- mark the

EXECUTIVE PATRON AfiE. 
In $euaU of the United Stalen—Ffhruary 13. 
Tbe bill to repeal the four yenrK' Inw being under considera- 
tloM, and Mr. Benton having concluded his dpeech— 

Mr. Somlkard said that the ptnpojcnion then before the senate 
Im4 nilaliua entirely to the bill which had been propitred by the 
■elect committee as one of the mesn!* by which rxeeutive pow- 
er was In be restrained. When he Kiiid this, his object was to 
4mw the ailenlion of the senate to the subject under considera- 
tAoa. Bot lo meet any statements with regard lu financial mat- 
The simple proposition wn^, was it proper that the bill 
' - * Th ' 



Phe first section of the hill supplied two sretions 
of Ihe Mil pamed in ld90, and the second section provided thnt 
congrese shall be aware who are public defaulters, declaring 
that the eommissions of such shnll expire. The Inst provision 
required that the president should assisn to the senate his rea- 
■oos when he removes a public officer from ofRoe. lie appmv- 
•d of the first provision of the bill, because he lii-lioved that the 
■el of May 1830, placed too much power in the hand* of the 
prasfdent, and had accompli-«lied non« of the intentions for 
wMeb it was framed. The act requi/ed Hint ceitnin ofHrers 
■iKNild be appointed for the term of four yrnr«, and the inten- 
tion was lo bring those officers (who were disbursing officers) 
belbre tbe executive at the end of every four years, in order 
IkBI If their official conduct had not been correct, he mieht, by 
'~'"~T to renominate, get rid of them without the formality of a 
~«l. The object certainly was n g'md one, but it hnd 
I to increase the power of the exenitive to an extent not 
■■licfpated at the time of the passage of the law. The law 
went into operation immediately pieeeding the presidential 
■lectloni and every four years nfti'rwnrd^ the offieeri appointed 
ander ft were to go out of office if not reapiminied. N»w, 
conld any man not see that all these officer* would feel Ihem- 
■elves dependent on the executive, who hnd the power to leave 
them out or renominate them. The law an it sfnod placed 
every man who was not above being bribed by office in the 
■wrket, feeling and acting on the principle thnt he was to sup- 
port Ibe man who would keep bim in office. Pass the bill be- 
fore Ibe MMaie, and the result will be far different. Each office- 
bolder would be independent, and would look solely to a faiih- 
Itel discharge of bis duty for bis continuance in office. As the 
law now stood, it was made to operate on the whole band of 
ofltecra of tbe government, as well on the other officers as on 
tte disharsing agents for whom it was originally intended. 
I Aim not influenced by pure motives would say to the ex- 
IvBi ■* Will yon retain me in office If I support you?" This 
I of that law which it was now proposed to repeal must be 
. . rent to every senator, and he thought, if they would follow 
It ap, It would produce on their minds a deep conviction that 
llM aUiUite booh nnghl to be relieved fVom it. It was the in- 
tentioD of those who framed that law to brinr the officers of the 
SDVemaient before the executive at the end of every four years, 
la order that ihey might be dismissed if found unworthy. But 
ll certainly never was intended that an officer who had fairly 



I thcpnblio moneyi and Aiibfnily discharged the do- 
ties of bit ofBce, should be turned out in order to make room 
iir a political parilaan. It was intended to secure a gmater 
McooBUbllity is iba diaboifing ageatf , and, by brlngiag their 



I conduct more frequently in review, to sccnre to the gorem- 

.' menl the services of the most trustworthy individuals. But 

I had this been the operation of the act? No. The period of 

I four years hod been selected as the |ieriod when the enemy 

I was to be prosirnlcd, and friends sustained. This mode of 

I executing the net had defeated all the intentions of its f^ainers. 

ll hud inlroductd a different system with regard to tbe tenure 

of office, Ironi that contemplated by those who passed the law. 

He wn* of opinion ihui it would be wise iu congress to dispense 

with those prov|^ions wliieh tended to make tiie whole band of 

offii-eliolders servile suppliants of the executive, destitute of 

that indepeudence of character, that ninnly feeling, which 

should chnrni.-terize eviiy public officer. Mr. S. here read 

from the bill the provi!>ioiis leqniriiig the president to lay before 

con4;ress the acconnis of all district attorneys, marsliala, and 

other dl^bur«ing iillieers, &c. 

The otiJCLt wao to exhihii to the senate the appointing pow- 
er, Ihe number ol tho^e who should fail to render their ae- 
counlK, and to sivi- to those who should be unfortunate time in 
repair the acciiUnt whii h ilepiived them of the ability to make 
a ciirri-ct seitlruient ni theii accounts. If an officer, therefore, 
I should he a defaulter in September, Ihe account being made 
. up |i> J.inuary, would leave him iinie to correct the evil, if the 
! deianlt should he the efftxt of untorseen accident, and not of 
I crimii^l conduct. This pan of the bill was so plain that be 
I would not deiaiii the senate longer in commenting on it. The 
; third section of the bill provided "That, in all uominaiiona 
! made by the president to Ihe senate, to fill vacancies oceasioh- 
ed by removal from office, the tacts of the removal shall be 
I sial«'d to the senate at the same time that the nomination la 

made, wiih a st.ntenieni of the rcamHis for such removal." 
! He \alued that prfiVi>ion of the bill very much. He would 
: not, at that time, enter into the subject «if removals from olHce. 
! It hnd long been a subject of difference with politicians, anil 
had occupied their attentmn nt an early period of the govern- 
ment. But this section did not interfere wiih this power of 
removal. It required simply that the president should state to 
the senate when he removed an officer, ihat he had removed 
him, ntul why. Was there any thing that should make tbe 
executive reluctant to eominunicnie such reasons to his con- 
stitutional advisers? We are bound lo presume, (Mr. B. said), 
thnt he has acted under the best con>iderations. All thai was 
avked of him was to state thai be had removed a public officer, 
and hit rca»ons for so doing, in order that the senate, the co- 
ordinate appointing pnwer, (he said en ordinate power, be- 
cun»e no appoiniuM nt could be made, without the concurrence 
of the xii-natr), might JndiEe of the propriety of appointing 
auiHher individual to the oifice thus vacated. The history of 
this power of removal wnt not coinmun. In ihe early periods 
of our history it was almost unknown. It continued unknown 
until Mr. JellVrMin's time, and had not been exercised at ail 
by one of hi-* predecenMirt. The senate would unden>tand him 
as referring lo the adininiftrntinn of Mr. Adams. There waa 
not one removal from uilice during the presidency of that gen- 
tleman. 

7'he senator from Missouri, (Mr. Ifenfoti), hnd complained 
that this repitri, which emannied from the committee, present- 
ed a sreat vnrn'iy of bills, which were there framed, to limit 
the executive prerogative, without being calculated to accom- 
plish any other useful purpose. In looking at the report thia 
morning, he did not see any grounds for making this complaint. 
There was one bill proposing an amendment to the conaiiin- 
tiim, which did not meet with the gentleman's concnrrenec. 
But because he disapproved of one measure of the committee, 
did It follow that no other was worthy of appn>baiion? He ap- 
prehended Ihat the gentleman from Missouri would nut reject 
his own nit.asures, (for he was on the committee, and approv- 
ed of every bill with the exception of the one just named), be^ 
cau^e more was not done. Of the other bills proposed by the 
commiiiee, one was for the regulaii'm of the newspapera In 
which the laws of the Tnited States and the public advertise- 
nients shall l>« inserted. Did the gentleman see no practical 
good to result from thii bill? Another was to regulate the ap- 
pointment of pihitinasiers. The provisions in this bill bad 
jurt been passed by the senate by a unanimous vote, In the 
bill to reorganise the p«Mit office department, and it was not. 
therefore, necessary to pass such provisions as were contained 
in this second bill of the committee, after one had pasted the 
senate for that purpose. The next bill was for the regulatirni 
of the appointment of cadets and midshipmen. He could not 
answer fur what was the practice of the departments now with 
regard to such ap|Miintments, but he well knew what was tbe 
practice some time ago; and it was to carry the provisions of 
this very bill into effect. In conclusion, he trusted, therefore, 
that these bills would find favor with those who had heretolbre 
supported similar measures. 

Mr. Calhoun said thnt the whole cnnrse of the senator fhna 
Missouri, on this r^ccasion, was unbecoming a gentleman; and 
I appeal to the senate to bear witness thnt, in repelling hia 
charges, I have acted on the defensive. However offensive lo 
him, I retract or explain nothing which I asserted when last 
up. On Ihe contrary, I reaffirm that part of the report which 
the senator considers so offensive, and the expression wbleh 
he has thought proper to consider as casting a personal Impu- 
tation. Yes, in spite of all he says, the prnciice of the ad- 
ministration, in dismissing fnithful officers on party groanda, 
and supplying their places with political partisans, has the tein 
dency to produce all Ihe reaulis wblcfa I have atlribatAd. v^^^

In lit nature an iinperial power, and, if he he permitted to ex-

\% hiih char.ictfnze ihe limed. What a few years since would 
have shoeked and ruu^ii-d the wli.de cominuniiy, U now licarce-

by a Ki-ni rul biird o| indiKii.iiion; Imi now, the dismissal of

passes A* an ordinary i-vi-nt. 'J'he present dlate cd'lhe country,

as Ir:>i3, iliai the tiiiii' woulil come when the incoiiie of the go- 
veiniiii'iii and ihe nuinbur of lixi.si' in ii^ employ would be 
do'jt>li.-d, and ihai the ronlrol of iln* p.-i'sideiil, with the power 
iif di.':iiii>sal, would beeontu iiresi^tildi>. All of which wna 
urgi-d <i> an iiidiicriin-iit for the relorin at that early period; and 
a^ a reason why llie adinnii!>lralion then in power should be 
eApilh-d,and those oppoM'd loibem ^h(luld be elrvated lo their 
placef. Iliil now, when this prophecy has been realiXfd, we 
■serin pi-rfrclly iiiiLensibleof ihedangrr lu which the liberty and 
ill^lllulllllls of the country are e^poi^ed. Aunmg the syniptoma 
of iht: liiiK-s, said 3lr. C winch indicate a deep and growing 
decay, I would (iiaee among the most sinking, the dilTerencu 
III the condui't of thixe who cei'k public empioyment before 
and alter their elevation. In the languaije ot the indignant Bo- 
iiiaii, iliry soiieii otliecM in one nianiier, and use th<-m in ann* 
tiler. And till!- remark wii.s not more true in that degenerate 
»iiile ol liie nribl«'»:t of all the republic* ol antiquity, than it is of 
our« in ihe presi-nt time. It is not only, .••aid Mr. C. a lyuap- 
lom of decay, but il is nho a powerful cause. 

When il comes to be once understood that politic* Is a game; 
that those who are engaged in it but aci a pan; that thi>y make 
this or that profesnion. not from lionest conviction or intent to 
tultii them, but us the means of deluding the people, and 
through that driusion to acquire power; when guch prol'esaioos 
are to he entirely forgotten, the people will lose all confidence 
in public men. All will be regarded as mere Jugglers— the ho- 
nest and the patriotic, as well as the cunning and the profligate 
— and the people will brcome indiflVreiit and passive to tho 
grii.S3!ei.t abuse* of power, on the ground thai those whom lliey 
may elrvatc, under whatever pledgee, inslead of reforming, 
will km luiiiate ihi' example of those whom tin y h.ive expelled, 
f, said Mr. V,. rejoice however, that there are many who are 
eouiili-d In ihe admiiiistraiion ranks who have a proper regard 
for Ihe profi'Msions of the |>ariy while caiivas.-ing hir power. I 
sec. the eouimeiieeuicnl of a separation heiween those who are 
di>posed 10 go all kiigllis to nbamlon all former principles in 
tiiu support of power, and ihose who are imi di-pi.>ed to ad- 
vanci* bi-yond the point where Ihi'y now htaiid. Let those who 
are disposed to jnHiain the power of the executive, however 
exiiavagani, reflf-ct on what has oeciirnd during the present 
di<.eu<isii>n, and the manly and indi'pi-ndi.-nt sentiment-* which 
have been expre^^ed in the laiikH of thi; administration itself, 
and ihry will see cau»e to hall in their courhe. They hove 
pii-hed things as far as ihi-y can he pii-ln d with safety; to push 
ihiMii farllK-r inu»tend in division and overthrow. 

But ihefenaior irom N«;w Vork (Mr. fl'ifjAf), rrgarda all 
\\\U alarm on account of ihi* va-t iiirr<-:ise of f-xeeulive power, 
as perfectly imaginary, fie i.oiiirndH that the view drawn in 
the report of the eoniiiiitti->-, as to the exlenl of patronage, la 
gri-atly exaggerated; and lor thii* piirpo>e a>i>.iil.^ thai part of the 
report which treats of the niiiiibrr of ttio.e in the emphiy of 
the governui'^nt, and living on iis bounty, as consiilullngone 
ofihe e|i-menls of «'<ecutive p-itronage. The senator i« poo- 
sessed of ch ar perception and strong powers of discrimlnatioBf 
and lif anticijiaifd from the i:oiifid>'ni manner in which he ex- 
pressed hiiii'>ell, that lie had d:scoverrd some flaw or vreakneea 
in that portion of the ri-|>ort. Ili* is noi usually the men 10 
make hot 1 ns^^ertioii wiihoul his proul; but 1 must say thai, in 
litis ea«e, the nenator has dioappoiuif-d me. What error or ez- 
ag^<>ration has he discovered in the repnrt? H-is he shown the 
number ^taled to be greater than in maliiy it is? Hasbeahown 
that there is any error in the various heads under which thef 
are ela-tsined? Or that there is a single cU*a which doofl 
not contribute to swell the power ond influence of the ezeea- 
tive? lie has noi even mado an altempi to point out any error 
of the kind. He dn-w his niimb«'r and classiflcalion from tbn 
report il^l lf,aiid has not pretended to fhow that there haa been 
any ovi r «>iiinaie on the part of the committee attached lO WMf 
one of Ihe « lapses. 

But thi>u:.'h ihe senator has not succeeded in showing in Afir 
Intimate, he has labored slrrnuou«ly, though I mu«taayan* 
►uccesftfiilly. lo i^how itint the patronage is f.u Iom than In n- 
nlity It \*. The sen-itor would, for in^tanec, have n^ lay Hidt 
the p''ti*>ioni>r<., a^ adding liitle or nothing to the patronage of 
the governioi«nl. J had (said Mr. C) supposed that he wee ino 
good a Judge of human nature, not to know that the merv fiul 
that a man living npon the bounty of the goveroment natartfly 
dlapoaea him to the aide of power? If to thia we nM Um hgt.

the north will prottU na afaintt forifixn and doiue^tic Toeii! We 
cao never value the Tavor too highly!!! 

We had tliought that the diiT of auch things hud pass* 
e«l away — newr to return. It is sell-evident, thut it is 
the conmmrr, or tuer^ of an article who |mi}-s the tax 
upon it He must obtain nioiiev aud apply it to thai 
purpose. Lai^e, indeed, is the value of cotton exported, 
but that value la as mueli in the aubsistence and labor, 
tliat« in a thousand different ways, passes into its value, 
aa in the eotton itself-— and the man who makes a gin, as 
tnrely adds to the value aa another who plants and ga- 
thers the eotton. All values, indeed, are made up of 
ctfniMiiiilioiif of indivisible values, pertaining as well to 
the subsistence of individuals as to the facilities that 
may be given to their various operations—and ever}' va- 
lue, whether fur foreign export or home use, KQ.t:ALLT 
coarrBiBUTKfl its fiiofohtios to thc proLic wealth. 

The anniutl worth of all the mechanical and manutac- 
tvriiig produuts of the United States, is about 7?xv hun- 
dred miUioM of ihUart — or ten times as much as that 
of cotton; and, of agricultural products consumed in 
the United States, some eifffu or ten million» more. 
The theory i»— that, as cotton and tobacco are the chief 
■gents of importations, that those who i>roduce thetn 
pay the cost of such importations — hy the same rule, 
the merchant pays all the taxes upon them! than which 
■othing can be more splendidly ridiculous. Whether 
a dollar be earned* by planting cotion, or making a 
vcMxieo bucket, the value obtained is equally available, 
and passes into the general mans of property created. 
The caps and bonnets of straw, for women, and palmet- 
to hats for men, would probaUy purchase the whole

our manufactures of leather are worth about sixty nn'l-

The foreign commerce of the United Slates is only 
abovt a TWENTIETH part of the value of the crk-

Id other respects, we ahould hardly feel the loss of it !

We learn from the Alextwdria Gazette that — ^Tlie 
increasing value of the Potomac fisheries is beginning to 
be felt in the increased vahic of the estates on the banks 
of the river. Major Greer's sliore ami land, on the 
Mar} land side, sold last week for $25,000, and the High 
P/tii.t *.Ktato. n»np ilie Ocisofluan. on tlic ^ Irrioia side. 



Point estate, near the Occoquan, on the ^ irginia side, 
brought $38,000. 

The Blinker Hill monument, at Boston, is In a ilate 
of progrcsbiun. According to a reeent report of the Mo* 
nument association, it is estimated that by November, 
66 feet will be added to the height of the monumcn^ 
making the whole elevation than more than one hnndrea 
feet. AVith equal progress, next year, the monniM^C 
can be completed. 

The work is said to be done in tlie most efiielent BM- 
ner — the material is granite. 

It is calcdinted that the amount of ferryage reedved at 
|»uis\ilU-, is $35,(XX> per annum. No wonder, then, tlMl 
a bridge over the Ohio is about to be built. It will ^Md^ 
a great dividend.

The ''Richmond Enquirer" thus speaks of Mr. Riich- 
er, of Tennessee. His act was, certainly, in had taste! 
But the committee that examined the ^'credentials'' of 
the members of the convention, were more to blame than 
he. He wished to make himself known, and be placed in 
'Uie road lo preferment* — and took a short cut, as he 
Cbodirht, to do both. 

••The vote of the sptirious Tennessee delegate has been 
the subject of repealed notice in the pajiers of both sides. 
It haa calletl forth indignant remarks from a delegate lo 
the Baltimore convention. Mr. U. was no delegate from 
Tennessee, by his own confession — and In- ought to hav** 
■eomed, thci-efore, to take a part in its proceedings. He 
admits, that he did not pretend to give any vote on the 
part of Tennessee, until the committi^c had examined the 
credentials, and reported the names of the members, 
without receiving any certificate from himstir In truth, 
he had none to offer — and if any objection had l»een made 
to his votes, he might have bee'n expelled as an intrmler. 
1 his whole proceeding, on the part of Mr. Rncker, is 
without justification, Hs it is without precedent."

Aare senirrd to a Roman general^ in the best dayt of the rejfmbUCf 
the honors of a triumph." It lia.t been Justly remarked by a dis

iicconnt of tliiii victory by general Harrison — <'He does Jui>iic4i

The following from the **J/erc«' Prett*' a Pennsyl- 
vania newspaper, presents a view of the ensuing election 
very different from the article inserted in our last, from 
the Huniiihur^h InteUigtmcer: 

•'It IS CKtiniaied by tlio>c who have ihe lirst means of ae- 
qiiirmc iiilormaiioiiy that (■enrge Wolf, barked by his ofRce- 
lioldertf, cannot carry more than au,0OU ot his old volet. To 
tlii:4 may be addtd abiiut lo,()(JU whin yotea that supported 
Kilner in li^;K2— tliU!< piviiig linn about 'lOjiWU vote4 in the slate, 
llf-nry A. .MuhlenlM-ri; will ^r-t nhuiil GU,UUU democralic voted 
that were piven in lti32 for Wolf— add to thin 30,000 voien in 
till- German counties that wire {!ive to Kiiner, thus hwelling 
hii* vote to about 80,000, and enalilinut him to heat Kilner some- 
where in the neigliboihuod uf twenty, and Wolf thirty Uiou- 
sand." 

The cause of Henry A. Muhlenberg— of the demnrrallc par- 
ly— ip onward and upward. From nlmoct every part of tha 
oomnionweallh oiir iiifoiinalifm i« in the liisheiit degree elieer- 
inr. and leuvesi no doubt ni'ihe triumph of democratic principis 
over dii^orianizaiion and bankiisin. liow could it be otherwise in 
the key stone »tale, wliove liierling denioeraey is so proverbial? 
There id hut wne democratic candidate in the field— hut one 
antibnnk-candieale— und the democrary of l*eniii«ylvania will 
never niihtake llit-ir man when «ucli tpietfiiniiM are to be decid- 
ed by the vote of the people. Never, never!— they know tlieir 
position too well to fall into such an error. 

A corrcsponilent writes: **St«nding at my doop in 
Arch Mreet on Saturday, to witness the ]iarade ol the 
llo&toii Fusiliers, 1 was gnatly pUaM'd, indeed intei-est-

Fifth and Arch streets. U is, I ptesume, generally 
known that the remains of onr illustrious countryman, 
Fkanklin, are depOHited in tliat spot, and that he whs a 
native of Bobton. AVhcn the company arrived at this 
phice, they halted, and, aRsJMefi by ilicir fine band of 
niuftic, paid a ihonrnful compliment lo the deceased, and 
then continued tlie innrch. it was the niort: impressive 
as it was unexpected. It is gmlifwiig lliat sometimes 
*th(\^>'&'!>// Mhieh men do li\es ul'ler tlieni;* tlioiigh their 
menlon- may not be einblaznned on gorgeiUis monuments 
of art—but will ever survive in the gralelnl hearts of a 
\irluous people. Thus may it ever he i* ilii us, for while 
such feelings prevail, we need nut de.^pair of the repub- 
lic." [PtulmK Inq,

of the lute belligerent vessels on the lake —

tltat large niuvses of colored population cannot sufelv ex-

ing proceedings — 

riie people in Kentucky are moving on ihe subject of 
alayer}-. At a meeting recently held in Shelby county in 
Ihat state, the following resoliitions were, after conside- 
k«ble discussion, passed without a disM^ntiitg voice: 

IZctoircd, That the ••y^lem of doinrtitic frlavt*ry a« it now ex- 
ists lu thin coinnionweulth, m both a niotal and a politicul evil, 
«nd a violniion of the naiurai riitbtP of man. 

Aetofpcif, A4 the opinion of thii* mf^ting, that the additional 
Value which would be (ivrn to our properly and Iim prf»duct« by 
Uie Introduction of free while labor, would initnelf b«i>ufnci«ni, 
under u synttm of gradual emaiicipaiioo, lo trantport the whole 
of otir colnrrd population. 

JReto/rcrf, Th.it no syntein of einanrlpatlon will meet with our 
nppriihntion,unle«fi cohinisHiion he initeparably connected willi 
it, and that any »chpnie of emancipation which will leave the 
black* wiihin our bordcrit, Is more to be deprecated than slave- 
ry lt'<Clf. 

Aeto/rcfl, That II Is believed by ih« present meeifnf , that the 
lime has arrived fur Ihe prople of Kentucky to call a convpn- 
lion, with a vifw of providing for ihe prospective eoiancipation 
of "lave*, and for other purposes. 

We would wait, also, the result of the experiment that 
Great Hiitain is making in her West India colonics — for, 
with all her mighty means, we fear that it will fail, and 
end in the destruction of those whom it was intended to 
preserve. 

Jowph Clark, after having been forty-five years trea- 
surer of Rhode hlnnd, was, at ihe age of 70, 'nominated 
for governor; he declined, assigning the following rca- 
aons: 

•*Ai I have enjoyed a jjood character amonf my fellow citl- 
ceni all my life, as is proved hy their choofing me their trea- 
aarcr more than forty year*. I have no notion of losing it now, 
fn my old age, 6y Aeirtg ttt vpfor gotemor!" 

It has been said that the enily settlers of New England 
would not brew beer on Satlirdav, because it might 
*'work" on Sunday. But the following notice by ihe 
Vsollector ofa R. C. church in New York shews another 
extremity in this respect:

Great conimoiion picvailn here— ail the ciuouiitleea are in 
conlunion— aud Ihe order lint in no made out that it appears to b« 
ihe intention to have no houne to night. An l«f^ election com- 
mittees muPt be balloiied liir, it in prarceiy poPrihIe to avoid 
thin, but every effort will he made. The' reanon annigned for 
Thin emeute i«, that Mr. Spring Rice, after declaring Ibat he can- 
[lot lead the limine, han resigned. 

The Timen rtatcn that on bring avked whether the report of 
liin renignatinn wan true, the marquinof Wellenley replied *'tliat 
Pie had n<it resigned from any inability to execute the duties of 
rlii- oiKce, but becaune, if he retained it, he niu-t pupport Innl 
Melbourne'n adininintration, and thin, an a man of honor, Ac 
touldnot Jo, it iM-ing evident to him that Ihe government of 
Ireland had been delegated by lord Melbourne, or through noma 
irre$pomible cullcague of the noble lord, into the hands of Mr. 
O'Connell." 

In the hou«e nf lordn on the IPih, the earl of JTUIon prepent- 
(td a petition, signed by 10,513 pernonn, inhsbiiantii of Manches- 
ter, in support of the independenre of the house of peem, and 
praying their lordnhipn that they would not consent to any mea- 
sure calculated to weaken the temporal and spiritual capacity 
of the church of England and Ireland. At the head of the mnl- 
litiide of ^ignaturen to the petition, was that of a gentleman of 
targe landed property and gieat independence of character, who 
wan hinipcif a Roman Catholic. 

Lord Morjtelk took his peat in the hnune of commons on the 
I8ih of May— amidnt ihe cheerii ol the whia radiealx. It in ntat- 
ed in the Morning Uhroniirle of the I9ih, that lord John Runaell 
iiHbncribed Ave hundred pounds toward the expenses uf lord 
Mor;H!th'n election. 

No doubt wan entertained of the triumph of lord John Auitc/I 
in the borough of Stroud!

Paris papers and letters are to the 17ih of May, Inclusive. 
They contain not one nyllable ren|>ecting the Americaa quea- 
(ion, whieh has theiefore, not yet been called up for considera- 
(ion in the peers';— and an thin body han taken upon itn hands 
another nenoun matter, before having dinponrd of the great poll- 
(ical triain, upon whirh it han been engaged for nome time past, 
it i<« quite nnreitsin how soon the indemnity bill will receive its 
Anal dipprM>ition. 

The matter alluded is the trial of many persons for political 
oflencen, of varinun descripiioiin — which will, probably, bring 
About much dilticuliy, and caune a great excitement, without 
priNlucing any ponnible good. If found guilty, it seems agreed 
Lhul they will be pardoned.

OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH. 

Mayor 'M office, (New York), June -Xlkf 1835. 
Tt ae dfUcnt of New York: 

The disturbances which have recently tteeuneA in this city, 
lender ft my duty to call your atteniiun tn the provimonA of the 
laws reisting tn a proper observance of the Habbatb. The re- 
pvtalion of this community, an an enlightened and moral people 
depends upon the due obaervance of tde laws, and upon evinc> 
ing, at all times, a proper respect for the civil inKtilutions by 
which w^ are governed. 

Aaiong the provi^iinna of ilie statutm which relate to this city, 
•H persons are prohibited from frequfiiiing tippling houeeann 
llM first day of the week,eallid Sunday; and from engaging 
Mi that day in any labor or painime. which i>liall disturb others 
la Iheir observance of the ArMt day of the week as holy time. 

The attention of the keepers of public hnuserf is especially re- 
qoired to the following ezirarin from the law<i: 

"No keeper of an inn or tavern, or of an ale bou^e, or groce- 
ry, nor any ntlier iiervon authori;>ed tn retail Kirong or ppirituou* 
liquors, shall on Sunday tr\i or di»pnii« of any ale, porter, 
ilrong or spirituotu liquor*, excepting to lo<iflers in such inns 
or taverns, nr to persons travvlling on that day in cases allowed 
by Maw.'*' 

There can be no doubt that the nealect of a due nbftervanre 
ofllieae saluury provi<*ionfi i^ a prolific source of diisorder and 
' iDterrnplionof the public peace. 

Now, THcaEroaK. by mul wiih the advice and cnns<-nt of the 
aldermen and an^itrianl aldermen of ilie several wardi, I i«i«ue 
Ibis notice, calling iipim all gooil citizens to pay proper respect 
and obedience to ilie lawit. I do furiher require all im^peclors 
and Sunday officers to be vigilant and active in the di>char2*f 
Afthcii duties, and to give inimedinie notice of all violntions of 
the laws In respect to the wnle of aideiit spirits or intozicaiing 
Hqnora on Sunday, to the aldermen or nssiittunl aldermen of llie 
ward in which the nlTence is cnmmiiied. 

la all cases of an inrringemmt uf the law« on this subject, in- 
formation may be given at ih«! mavorN office, to the end that 
tbe oflfknders may be puni^lind, and proper measures adopted in 
persuance of the following provixions. 

'•It shall and may be lawful for the mayor of the said city, in 
coaJancUon with tlie ■Iderman and assLuiit alderroan, lo hear 



and determine, in a summary wsy, any cnmplaiul which najr 
be preferred against any tavern keeper, grocer or keeper uf any 
ordinary or victualling house, or public garden, in the ward in 
which such alderman and atsirtant alderman may reside, fur 
any ofTmce in the pieinii>es, and in cace they shall Judgs it pro- 
per to deprive sulIi prr<ion ol his lici-ii.>e.'* 

Believing the geneial peace and weil.ire of the community to 
be di'peiidi-ni in a ar^at iiie.tHure on the right observance of the 
la»i>, I heieby aiMiniinie the di'irriiiinaiion of the nlaKl^llate8 
to enforce these ciiluiiiry proviMons, and to punish every ul- 
fence which may be sub»lanUuied belure iImui. 

C. VV. LAWRENCE. 

N. D. The attention of the pariiec intere.xted, is called to the 
fact, lliat selling ** wine, slntiiu or sptriiuous liquor, to lie drank 
in ai:y house, out hou^e, yard or garden, wiihoui license," la 
declared, by act of the leui-hiiure, a '*ini'*deine»nor, and »hall 
be punished, by tine and iinpri.<oiiiiienl, or either, at the discre- 
tion of the court having cognizance of the utfence." 
— '-»o#e«* — 
LERISLATfUE OF RHODE ISLAND. 

A resnliiiion, uH'f.ri'd by Mr. Hazard^ has been laid on the 
table of the house, for the appointment uf a committee to in- 
quire — 

Kiri.t— Whether the powers reserved ti» thiinselves and to the 
people, by ihr. slates, in forming the constitution of tbe United 
titiili-H, have remained iiniinpaired. 

Second— Wheilier the clierk!< and harriers provided by the 
constitution to heciire and perpetuate lo the people the enjoy- 
ment of a free repnlilican goveinnieni; and to guard against the 
monarchical tendencies to whidi all governments are prone, 
however |»opular their forms, have proved adequate to these 
oliji'cts. And ei^pccially, whether the powers vested by the 
con«liUition in the senate of the U. States— in which branch of 
the government the small states are reprexenled equally with 
the l.iiffe, ail an indispensable safe-guard tu their equal righls, 
as indi pi^ndeiit states, have been respected and preserved flrooi 
all iincoii!<iilHtioiial interference, evasiiui or e neroaehmentii. 

IMiird — Whether the provii<ions <if the constiiuiion intended 
to guard and secure the freedom of the prevo and ihe free ezer- 
ciNe of the rishl of nuU'raee, have romnint-d nnviolated. 

Fourth — Whether the time bus arrived, wIh-u it ha-i become 
necessary for the states to provide furiher checks and i>eeuriliea 
for the preset valion uf the cunstiiutiun in its original »treugth 
and purity. 

The Trovidence Journal says — The whig state convention, 
which was held at .NVwp«>rt on the 2tth lilt, noininaled^by a 
unanimous vote, the hon. Ttutam Burnet, of Providence, and 
Henry Y. Cramtoiif esq. of Newport, as candidates fur the 94th 
congress. 

Joseph L. Tillin^haily esq. of Providence, introduced Ihe fol- 
lowing resolution!': 

Retolved, Thai it is expedient now to nomirale, and nrcom- 
mend to the freeuo'n of thh state for their siip|iorl nt a candi- 
date for the office of president of the United Slates, a man who 
merits and enjoys the unqiinlified cnnfldence of the friends of 
Ihe constitution, of the unmn, and of the freedom, safety and 
welfare of the republic, throusliout our conimon country. 

RfMolvedy That in Ihe opinion of this conveniiou, Daniel 
Web-iier is emphatically such a man, and xvv. do therefore no- 
minate and recommend to the good people of this stale, Daniel 
iyeh%ter as a candidate for the proidency in the nest ensuing 
eleetion of president of the United Stales. 

W^hich resolutions were unanimously adopted.

GentlrmeD: I have received, and laid before the pieNident, 
our letter of the 13ih lll^t. 

lie hai inelructed me to authorise you ii» announce publicly 
o live Cherukeeit, that ii«i pittpomiionii for a tn-niy will hpre»r- 
«r be made, more fa vol able thiiii Ihowe now offered to theHi. 
Phe aum of Ave niillionM ol doilarH wa« fixed upon by ihe ve- 
ml«» a« an ample e<|uivaleiii lor the rrhiiquichnii-iit of all ilieir 
'Ufllla and pu#i>eiitfioni» in Ge«irgi:t, and other tiiaief ea-^t of the 
IllMiryippi. The whole ^ubjiu-t waii (nlly coiMidered. before 
itiM price wai determined. Mr. R(hii^ and hin aii^ociaiea had 
laily opp<irlunitie« of ezpres«iiig their own view» to the com- 
■iltcre, and to other <(enaior.« verbnliy and in writing, lie him 
ieirpro|Hiited that the adjii!<tnient ot Hie eonsideiHtion ahould 
M leA til the senate; and he voiniiiiirily bound hini'^elf to ac- 
:rpl Ihe »uiu they might name. VVhrii under consideration in 
Ihe aenate, there were memherti of that body watchful for hit 
iMterewlii, and prompt to a«ldnce every aiuumeut in lii» favor, 
rbal treaty Urn* b4:en published, and iia libeinl conditions have 
be^n every where arkno>%|i il|>i:d. 

Mont aMuredly the president will not, under thciie circum- 
■lAnectf, ^aiiclion any expectation that more favorable airange- 
nenlit will hereafter he h>-ld out to the Cheioki es. Ao far from 
Ibtaf be baa instructed ine to ^ay lioit the prci'ent i* the InKi

will It be wise or aafe for thein to anticipate that viiher branch 
of tlwgoverni^ient will be di?i|N>Med to do more for them. 

Tbe Gonimisainncra have been authorii-ed to vary the nature 
ofaome of the Htipniatinni>, if olherM would he more aareenble

THE INDIANS IN ALAB.AMA. 
KHmora have been for some time, in circulniion, of difficulties 
briween the whites and Indian^, and of outragea committed by 
Ihe Utter. The account*, however, came in ruch a queaiiona- 
Wc ahape, that we have not thouaht it worili while to notire 
tbem; but they are now coiinnned to ^ome extent, by an official 
cooiiuunicalinn of governor Gayte lo the (•ecreiury of war, 
dated May 97ih, 1633. It is writti-n apparently with camlor 
and inportialiiy, and may probably be relod on, an living a 
Inie description not only of the miiiconduct of the Indianfi. but 
•lao of Ihe oppresiiiona endured hy tbem, to which theii aggres- 
•Inna uiuat b« ascribed. We extract the ino>t iuipoitnnt pas- 
■age*: 

"Sir: Atlhistim<*,ai«latf»of thingnexi^fn in partvofiliecoun- 
Iry cedi'd by ilie Creek Indians to the Uniii d Siitieii, that re 

Tuiri-a the immcdiatit pre<ience of a reiipectable military foice. 
■ the conntie:* of Macon and RukhhII, the Indian iHtpui.itiou it 
greatly larg^rr than that of the white*; nnd confSdini in tnperior 
■amlMrSjlhey have placed the lawn and civil maen'lr:ite»Mt de- 
ianea. TItey are in the daily hahit of comniiiting the mom 
lowleio depredation* on iIm; property of the aeiller», and, wilh- 
la a few weeks pntil, have murdered and robbed seveial iniio 
e«Bt tiavrllera on the Inuhway lending from Columbus, Geo. to 
llonlg«Mnery. The white inhaMiantH are alarmtd to such a 
4^r«^, that they nffi>r no rei>i.''tnnrn, and the civil officer*, for 
want of aasislnnce them'<elve<«, will neither is»uc nor execute 
pineaM for their apprriieii,.Min. 

**Ab agant whom I devpaiched several days ago, to inquire 
iMo Um mum and czieni of iheae diflculiies, has just return- 



ed, and sutea that nany Indian families are deatitale of iho 
meana of aubr iitlence, and will inevitably atarve if provision be 
not made for them. Whether their present situation, and tbe 
di^tiirimncesi eomplaincd of, are to bn aMribed to the improper 
treuimrntof the whiten, it m certain that order caninit be nmin- 
tnined, and tin: lai\-« executed, unlcHH a miliiaiy huoe be al 
hand, to Hirord prompt as^i^iance to the eivil authorities. 1 
therefore re«.peeilully reijuesi that a detachment of the iroopa 
of the United HiHtcM b«; ordered to Fort Mitchell with all con- 
venient deitpatch, and that Ihe officer in whose charge they 
may be placed, whenever called on by the proper authority, 
may be directed to aid in the arrest of the otfeuders. 

**l beg le'ive to call your attention to the frauds, tbe infA- 
mous and unprincipled trnudi*, which organized bands ofspe- 
culaiors have practi-ted and are ftill practiiiing on the Indiana, 
in flirtt obtaining (heir l:indi<, and then, the sinatt and incon:>l- 
derable suiii5 they have paid at a couxiderntion for their por- 
chnres. Thehe impositions have acquired great noioriely, and 
nro i<uhjeci!4 of universal complaint. I entertain no doobt, that 
the outrages which have been committed by the tndinns, ttpon 
the inuoceiit settlers and innocent irnvetlers, have been pro- 
voked hy the injuries they have received from the speculators, 
and if they nionc could be selected as the victims of revenge, 
they would meet but little sympathy frrim thehonest parlof the 
community. Rut they are as ingenious and as successful in 
diverting from theuHelvea ihu hostility and indisnaiion of the 
Indian', a4 they have been in defrauding them of their pn*- 
periy." 

In a Kuhsrqueiit comniunlcaiinn to several getrfTemen of Riw* 
sell county, who had addressed him ou the subject, governor 
Ga>1e, alter inrnrmiug them of his nppllcallon to the war de- 
partment, Ktaten that the Indians are starving, and mu»t of ne« 
ces<siiy prey upon the properly of their neighbors, Hnd thai oo- 
thine xinirt of iheir remnvnl to the country which has been pro- 
vided lor liieui, can render a re^idence in that part of the slate 
Inlrralile for the white men. We think so loo, and however 
unjust may he the rnnipelU:d ernigraiion of the Indians, we be- 
lieve and admit that, in the exit* tins vtate of ihinga, it is an In- 
dii>peii»abli! measure both to them and to the whitea. They 
cannot live tonether. And, if attempted, the Indians mual pe- 
ri.'.h. Governor Gay !(■, in his letter to these gentlemen, again 
ailverta lo the iin|Hi.'>iiioiis practised on the Indians, and e^pe- 
ejally uri>e^ the tuppre!.<iion of grog shops, of whieh great nunv- 
bers nre opened ihroutihoui the country for the particular **a»- 
commodation" ^lliut is, ruin) of the red men. Com. «9d«. 



CHOCTAWS IN TEXAS. 
The Natchitoches Herald of the 33d ultimo, contains a long 
letter, addressed by col. Peter Ellis Bean, In the Mexican ser- 
vice, to gov«>rnor Casa, (war secretary), under dale of Feb. 
94th, 1833, soliciting Ihe attention of the govwrnment to the 
fart, that more than seven hundred Choctaw Indians had pass* 
ed from the United States into the midst of the settlements in 
Texas — and that numerous bodies from other tribes were niah- 
inf preparations to follow them— contrary to the siipulaiiona of 
a treaty entered into between the United States and the Mexi- 
can republic, on the 5th of April, 1831. The following Is the 
conclusion of col. Bean's letter, of which, the Herald tays, na 
notice has ever been taken by the government of Ihe Unilrd 
Slater: 

The mutual faith of the two repnblics being plr.dged epon 
Ihe subjecu of this address certainly renders it a matter of 
much delicacy, and I should he wanting in respect for my own. 
eovernment, if I could even suspect that the president, or the 
iuimedihie functionaries of the United Stales, could have either 
permitted or connived at the trespass which has taken place 
U|)On the territory of the republic of Mexico. It ia neverthelesa 
true, that these Indians panaed by a military post of the United 
States (Port Jessiip) on their way to the Sabine, wltere ihey 
entered Texas. The route pursued by the ChiHrtaws from Nai- 
chitoches was most manifestly different from that which Ihey 
niu'<t have pursued in reaching iHe country a«signpd to them on 
the ea-t ».ide of the Red river, and within the territory of your 
eovernment. By this early and aiiicere application to the 
United States government, it is requested that such measures 
may be adopted by that government, in its characteristic good 
faith, as will not only prevent all fuinre "inrnrsion*," but also 
to order that those already within thi9 province should be pre- 
sently removed to the lands assigned lo them by the Ualted 
.States. I flatter myself, with Ihe present existing treaties, and 
the othf rwite friendly relations subsisting between tbe two go- 
vtrnniwnis and their citizens, that the president of the Untied 
Stales will feel bound, from his elevated poNlical as well m 
moral character, lo arrest and prevent the in tent ions of Ikg 
tube or iribes of the Creek Indian^, fVom any and all 
plated "incursions'' into the territories of Mexico, and Ml 
larly of thi't province. The cf>tHequeiicca to its while inl 
ants in.iy pr(>ve of a chnrnctifr not only disastrous lo IhcB, bnl 
such as would elniin the consideration of every hunana Uld 



honorable brea«l. 

You will at onru perceive, from Ihe nature of my sitaatlng^ 
that my immediate duty will he to apprise my gnvemmaal nf 
the facts, that it may be enabled to undeistund the eilgenelae 
of niv couiniund. 

God prefervfc yoti many years, I have the honor to be yoig 
most obedient serv't, P. E. BEAN.

CurakUncetf, •« I ^iiMll proceed lo )<how. ha« hrouaht about. 

Eariieiitly de»irou« of restoring the good undrrj>taiiding li«» 
iweeu the two naiion.4, Ht« soon a.-* a d|]<4(ili'<fuciinn with the 
prKNident's message was fhown, / ^uppre-'M-d « vrry feeling of 
fvhicli llie niodti of expreyniiifl that di:>Hati«taclion was calcu- 
lated tu produce, and wiiIkmii waitiii!! hir in&trnctnms, I ha^rt 
.«iied, on my own recpon^fbiliiv, to make a coinniiinicaiioii lo 
yiHir predeceni'or in ortliM* on the iiubjert. In thi!', under the 
ie?ierve that Uie president could not be called on for an expla- 
nation, I did in. fact give one, tliat I thoiishi would have re- 
moved all injurious impre^iiion^. Thi^ i-* the nr>t of the fortu- 
nate circumHiancej to which I tiave alluded— fortunaie ia he- 
ioK made before any demand impiyiiis a right to ri-quire it; 
fortunate in ils containing wiihout any knowlcdg*' of ilie pre- 
cise parts of tlie meKsage which gave olTencH, nni*wers to all 
that have since come lo my knowrli-dce. I can rai<ilv conceive 
that the communication of which 1 epeak, mad^* a<« I expre^«ly 
atated without previoiiM authority from my governmeni, iiiight 
not have the etTect which ils mailer wat intended in pfoducr, 
but it has since, (as I have now the honor to inform your ex- 
eelieney), icfeived from the prirsidi-nt hi« full and niiquaiiiied 
approbation; hut it is necesiiary to add that ihi« wa* 8iv*>n be- 
fore be had any iniimation of an intmiion to attach it ai* a con- 
dition to the payment ot the indemnity due by the treat); civin 
not only when he was ignorant of any jcnch inlnnt, but when 
be was informed by France that she intended to execute ihe 
treaty, and saw by the law which was intnMlucrd that it was 
not to lie fettered by any * ueh condition. Tliu«, thai is already 
done, by a volnnlary act, which could not have been done 
when required as a right, siitl less when made, what will un- 
questionably in Ihe United States be considered degrading, as a 
condition. At this time, mt^ I would, for no consideration, 
enter into the details I then did. If I could so far forget, 
what under present circumstances would be due to the dignity 
of my countiy, I should be disavowed, and deservedly disa- 
vowed by the president. It is happy, itierefnre, I repeat, 
Ihai Ihe good feeling of my cnualry was evinced, in the man- 
ner I have stated, at the only time when it could he done with 
bODor; and though present circumsiances would forbid my mak- 
ing the communication I then did, they do not prevent my re- 
ferring to it, for the purpose of showing that it contain*, as I 
have elated it does, every thing that ought to have br?en satis- j 
hcinry. Actual circumstances enable me to do this now: fu- 
tare events which I need not explain, may hereafter render it ! 
inproper— and it may be nugatory, unless accepted assatisfac- 
lory before ihe occunence of those events. Let it be examin- 
ed with ibe care which the importance of et^ing it a true con- 
etruclion requires. 

The olitlections to the mrssnge, ae far ai I can underetand, 
for they ntver have been specirted, are, 



Fir:<i, that it impeachei the good faith of hli mi^eety's go* 
veriimeNl. 

Secondly, that it contains a menace of enlbrcing the perform- 
ance of the trialy by repri^ah. 

Oil the fir>t head, were I now di9cn«4ing the terms of the 
I no'^sa:;!- ii^eli, it \i«niid be »•a^y to show that it contains no 
voi'h i-iiar::!-. Tlie aili >::iiiMii iliai iht* ^tIplllatlon.'• ol a in-aiy have

the sincerity ol liis innje:<lyS governmMil, in their desire to es- 
ecuie the treaty, was not doubled, s^ufft.r me tu draw your ex- 
cell<-ney*s atieiition lo the p.i^sages alluded lu. 

In di-icnsi<ing the nature of Mr .Scrnirier's engagement, I 
Kay 'Ml is clear, tiierefore, thai more was required than the ez- 
pri-srthMi of a det«ire on Ihe part <»f hii> m:ije.-.|y'(i ministers, lo 
exeriite the ireat) ; a t/^wVe, the sinceritij of which wa$ never 
duuhtedJfUt which iniaht tie unnvniUH^, a%'itt uccoinpti$hment de^ 
pendtd on the vote of the chuml.cra" Asraiu, in spi-aking of tiie 
delay which occurred in the month of Dec»-mber, 1 say, "It im 
reii'ireil i.i, I preoume. in order to Khow that it was produced 
by a de-ire, on ihe p.iri of his ni.ijei.|y*«i ministers, the better to 
a^iire the. pa*i>.tue of IIih law: of lhii< "ir, i mrver had a doubt, 
and iiiiiiii itiaiely ^o adti^td my •roveriiinent, and informed il,aa 
Wii- liii- fact, thai 1 perleciiy ai-ipiie^cul in Ihe delay." Thua 
it inn«t be eiideiil, iKH oiify (hat no ofTeiiitivc charge of ill faith 
is made in the nit>-.ii;e, but that, as is expre«:.|y slated in the 
llr-t exiraei. full jn^iiee \^•n•^ done at \Va<hinition, to the inten- 
liiin" of llie French govefnnii'iit. While the delay is complain- 
ed of a<i wrtniff, no improper motivci* arc atiribuied to the go- 
vernment in cauNins it. 

Asain, «ir, the whole lenor of that part of my letter which 
ri laieD lo the execution ol ihe promise made by Mr. Serrurlert 
while It n<serls the con^tinciion pnl iipcm it by Ihe president !• 
be the iriie one. and appi-ah to fads and ciicnnifttaiicea to sup- 
port that con-irucii'iii, yet it avoids charging the French go- 
vernineiit Willi any iiilenllonai vndalion. allrihuling their de- 
lay to an ernmeniis eol•^lr'lclion onlyiloi in the letter, (I again 
qiinli' liieralli ), I say "I have entered into this detail with Ihe 
oiijeclol >liowiiiz that although the ministers of ihn king, under 
the interpreiati(Mis which ihi y sei-m to have given lo Mt, 8er- 
rnrler's pniniise, may have conxidered llonHelves at liberty to 
deii-r the pre^en(alln'n of Ihe law nniil Ihe p»:rl«Ml which they 
ihonuht W'luhl be-l sernre iN sucee— , yet the president inter- 
preiine that prnnii-<e dilTerenliy, feeiiniE thai in coiisequrhee of 
It he had forhrirne to do what niiuhl be hiriclly called a duty, 
and seeing that iin performance had not taken place, could not 
avoid siatinu the whole ca-e clearly and di!.iinetly tncongresa." 
Thus, nir, the president, in slating Ihe act«of whicii he thought 
his eiuintry had a riuht lo complain, doe« not make a single im- 
pnialmn of impreper motive, and lo avoid all mi^cnnhiruction, 
he oflers a voluntary declaration that nonesuch were intended. 
The pari of the menage which ^rems jo have canired the 
greatest Fen«aMon in France, tii that in which, aHer a state- 
ment of the cause* of cninplainl, i( eniers into a eon!<ideration 
of the nieai>iires to nhinin redress, which, in similar cases, are 
snnctioio-d by the laws of naiioni. The cnmphiint seems to br, 
Ihni in a di-ieu«sion of the efficacy and convenience of each, a 
preference was given to reprisals, considered as a remedial, not 
as a hostile measure; and this has been construed into a me- 
nace. If any explanations were necessary on Ibis head, they 
are eiven in Ihe message itself. It is there expres^ly dinavow- 
ed, and the power and hitih character of France are appealed 
IO, to show Ihat it never could he induced by threats lo do what 
its senfe of Justice denied. If Ihe measures to which I have 
more than once alluded should be resorted to, and the bumllift- 
tion aitending a compliance with it could be endured, and If It 
were possible, under such elrcum-iancen, to give an explanft- 
tlon, what more could be required than is cnnlnined In the ■•»• 
sage Itself, that it was noi intended as a menace? If the aiaa 
sure to which I allude should be adopted, and «uhmitted 10* 
what would his maje-tyN government require.' The disavowal 
of anv intent lo Influence the .«nuncil4 of France by Ihreatal 
They have it already, ii form* a part of the very instmment 
which caused the offence, and I will not do them the injuetie* 
in think ttiat they could form the ofiunsive idea of requiring 
more. 

The neeeotiiy nrdi«ru«sing the nature of the remedlri (hr Ita

TH« FA8T — THE PBBflKNl^— FOm THl TUTUn. 



IDITBD, PmiHTBD AND PUBLISHSD BT H. NlLBll, AT $5 PBB AHXUM, PATABLB IH ADYAVCB. 



The debate on executive patroiuige ia pnatponed — to 
make room for certain articles thnt have been too long 
cleferTed; but, as we ahall publish a supplement next 
week, the debate will be brought pretty nearly lo a con- 
olattoo, BO far at we intend to notice it. 

The laughable, or rather ridiculous, correspondence 
of Mr. Herman Thorn, witli Mr. Livingston, at Paris, 
is inserted in the present number. 

With tlic troth or falsehood of a biographical sketch 
copied from the supplement to 7th vol. of the UBCTinrBR, 
into a nameless journal of this city, on Saturday last, we 
«1o not feel that we have any sort of interest — for at the 
lie»d of it, as inserted by us, and in a conspicuous line by 
tbemtelvvs, are given the worda— 

•*/Vom the Democratic Preti.** 

But it was suitable to the long-perfected meanness of 
the editor of that journal to have it understood that the 
article was written by us, and he gave such' a direction 
to poblio opinion, so far as it is formed by his press. He 
IB welcome to all the good that he ex|>ected from an 
o£«crira/tofi of truth. We do not speak thus with re- 
ference to the facts as set forth in the sketch — but they 
ore appFied, by him, to things which we have not, nor 
•ImII we have, any controversy or concern. Nor liave 
they ony sort of relation one to the other. 

A letter from a valued friend in Plymouth county, 
Massachusetts, has the following postscript: 

**l noticed in one of your late |>apers an interesting 
neoount of the celebration of the anniversary of the 
Mecklenbur^h Declaration of Independence. This may 
wdl be claimed as the^r«Mfeclaration of the kind in the 
country; and yet the declaration of 76 cannot justly 
claim to be the tecond! Several months before the 
adoption of that declaration, on the 2dd of May, the 
Vomn of Plymouth in this county, (Plymouth), ^^voted, 
HHanimoiulyf independence on Great JBritain." (I have 
a certified copy of the record in my possession.) It is a 
curious historical fact worthy of preservation.* As the 
act of a single isolated town, it was one of singular bold- 
ness, and, as far as my limited knowledge extends, with- 
cmt preoeilent in the whole country. As long before 
this as July 11, 1774, that town had voted 97 to 15, **not 
to piircliasc or consume any goo<1s of any kind imported 
from (ircat Ilritian after the first of October next, until 
our liberties are restored." 

Many persons from Baltimore started for Hnrpcr's 
Ferrv,'Va. on Saturday morning last, and there dined at 
9 o'clock, with the kind-hearteil and attentive Mr. Fitz- 
aimnns. The distance is only 82 miles — the time 7 hours. 

We learn that a venerable Ia<ly aiTived at Frederick 
on Sunday last, and dined with Tier family at about one 
o^clock, who had left Jlugmta^ in Ceorgiji, on the pre- 
ceding Wednesday, anil 8top|>ed about 20 hntirs in litd- 
timnre, on her way home. She came by the way of the 
Charleston rail road, the line of steam packets from 
Charleston to Haiti more, and thence b^ the rail road to 
Frederick — wliere she might liavc arrive*! in little over 
3} days, had she proceeded directly on. 

The clkolera still prevails in a nnmber of the towns and 
Tillages of the west — but fatal cases are not very nnmer^ 
ooa. 

Among the appointments made by the legislature of 
Cmmectiaii, at its late session, wa% that of a certain JoAm 
T. Jidamoy as judge of probate for the district of Nor- 
wich — who, thereupon, was natttrafized^ and reuounoed 
bn allegiance to king >ViHian^ the -Uh!

The grand total of change* made by the legislatore of 
this state is six hundred an d ninety-two* 

Tlie vacancies in the board of the Merchants bank of 
Uahimore, occasio ned by resienations, having been fill* 
■Ml, George Brovm^ has been elected president, and Do* 
niel SpriffP', cashier. Mr. S. was formerly cashier of the 
bank at Hagerstown, Md. but is now cashier of the U. 
S. branch bank at Bufialo, N. Y. 

The Northern bank of Kentucky has been organisedf

president of the branch of the bank of the Unitc»d Stalci^

It is intended to concede banking privilexes with a laift ei-

A gentleman from Texas, says the Louisville Joomafy 
has banded us a copy of the charter of a Imnk, called 
the bank of Commerce and Agriculture, which the con- 
gress of the sovereign state ot Coahuila and Texas baa 
established in the department of Brazos. The capital 
of the bank rs not to exceed one miHron of dollara, antf 
to be divided into ten thousand shares. The directors 
may make loans at the rate of 8 per cent per annttn^ 
when the term, for which they are made, does not ex«» 
ceed six months, and at the rate of ten percent when 
ihe term exceeds six months. The institution is to eiw 
dure for twenty years, and may have brauchcB m any 
part of the state. 

l*he Globe says — ^We understand that Dr. Samuet 
Moore, has resigned the office of director of the mint of 
die United States, to Uke effect on the first of the next 
month, and that Robert M. Patterton, M. D. of the uni-' 
versity of Virginia, has been appointed to soceeed him. 

James P. Heathy of the city of Baltimore, and Charkw^ 
R. Stevart, of Anne Arundel county, have been nomi-^ 
nuted as members of congress from this district, by the 
whigs. 

It may truly be said, that **a great man has fallen in 
Israel. >'-^OUN MARSHALL, chief iustice of the U. 
States, died at Philadelphia, on Monday last, the 6l6 
July, in the 80th year of bis age. 

Though it could not have been expected that he shooM 
much longer remain with us, and notwithstanding the 
public was prenared for his deci asc from previous an- 
nunciations of the state of his health — still the shock waa 
not the less severely felt; for, next to WAaRiaoTOir, only, 
did he possess the reverence and homage of the heart of 
the American people — ^not forced by any sadden burat of 
party zeal, but gently and kindly, yet ardently, flowhir 
from a deep conviction of his loiijf public service, and 
private practice of whatever embellHhes and adorns hu- 
man nature. No man that lived more nearly "filled op 
the measure of his country's glory" than he. 

Some other will attempt a sketch of his character— tila 
task will be performed, but we are incapable of it;, ami 
shall content ourselves with the hnmble duty of present- 
ing, from other papers, a few brief minntes of the events 
9f his life, with a notice of some of the honors that wcra 
paid to his memory. 

Mr. MiirshaU was born in Vireinia, on the Mlh of SspCeaiker, 
1755; and, as early nn the snmmttr of 1775, received a coataila-

S INSULAR occuRRE^CK. Fi-om the JSTcw York Cou- 
tier. A diseloiore of one of the most extraordinary in- 
eidcnts we have ever heard, was made a few daya since, 
to an individual in this city, by means of an aiioiiymons 
note. It stated that the proprietor of one of the most 
raahionable dry goods (itun;s in Broadway, near tlic 
Park, was in the constant habit of satisfying a most atro- 
cioui and erimiiud curiosity, by means of holes bored 
through the floor of his shop near the counter, over 
which his unsuspecting female customers were obliged 
to stand. The suspicions of persons about the &tore were 
fine esoited by observing that when any young lady of 
retpectability entered, the master, on some ]iretext or 
other, inatantl;^ absented himself. At length a wulch was 

Iilaocd upon him, and he w:is seen by a person previous- 
y ecHiecaled, to enter in haste a coal cellar under the 
■tore, of which he always kept the key, place himself on 
■ barrel, and draw from the roof si;vei-al plugs which cx- 
aetly fitted anriir holes in his shop floor, and through 
whieh he could plainly see wluit was passing above. The 
witness, having satisfied himself as to the motive which 
prompted the frefpiPiir visits to the rrllar, imparted his 
eommunication al»uve mentioned. The person to whom 
it was sent being a timid man, was fearful of giving pub- 
licity to the aflair, lest it should not prove true. Me, 
however, resolved on eommunioatiug it to the police, and 



showed the note to Huntington, the ofllcer, who Immo- 
diately iTimired to the store, and satisfied himself by ae- 
tual inspection, that at least a ]iart of the cl«rge was 
true, 'ihe augur holes were there snd the pings nicely 
fitted to them. l*he master of the store, the moment he 
saw the officer commence his scrutiny, absented himself, 
and, we believe, did not again rettirn to business, but 
w till ull haste engaged his passage and sailed for Europe; 
since \ihich the store has been kept closed. From the 
subsequent statement of those ac(|uaiiited with the affiiir, 
it upjieurs that the crimiuul has been in the commiuion 
of his vile practice for upwards of two years i>ast. He 
has lieen most fortunate in abHroiiding before nis crime 
hec:inte known to an outniged community. Had he re- 
maineil, his punishment in all probsibili'tv, would have 
been most summary, and perliHps fatal to him. 

Ill eopying fi*om the Cuui-i<r the above disclostire, it is 
but just to the very respeetalile shopkeepers in the vici- 
iiiiy alluded to, to say, that the only shop, which, within 
a few days has been, and renmius closed, is that of J7.

Ukd river raft. Of this great obstruction to the na- 
vigation of Hed river 130 miles have been removed, leav<- 
ing not more than 123 miles of it yet to be cleared away. 
The whole mass of limber of which it was composed, has 
IiviMi efiictuiilly removed from the bed of the river so as 
to leave liut little remains of it to be seen. A good stram- 
bo:it nnvigntion has been o^ieiied throughout the w hole 
extent of lliut p'.iit of the river from whieh the rail has 
been removed. .Seven trips were made up through IIU 
iiiilis of the river since the Ibl Mui-ch last, which was 
formerh lilhil with the rati, by five stiumboats, viz: lliu 
•*I^iilv WMbhiiiglun," "Uoiiieo," "0'Connell,"**Ouachi- 
isi'* and *'.St. Ijuidi-e8.»' The OtJonnell and St. I^idrvs 
made two trips. In five ufthe seven trips made by those 
boats, they weiv heavily laden w ith fivight. When the 
n-iiiaiiiiiig '23 miles of the raft shall have been removetl, 
which will i)rt))ial)ly bo done in the months uf December, 
.Tatiuary and i'Vbruiiry next, there will be a free and safe 
navigation for steamliOHts at least 5UU miles above tlie 
raft, which added to that paK of the river where the raft 
was IfH-ated, inere.ises the navigation of the river a distanco 
of tl5(i miles, iliruugh as good a tract of country as any of 
the same extent in the United Statis, l}iiig iK-twcen the 
31st and 34th degrees of north latitude. The whole 
length of steamboat navigation in the main branch of Red 
river will exceed 1,000 miles. Its tiibutsiies will add 
several hundix'd miles more. So that the effect produc- 
ed by the removal of the raft will be to open to market 
a tract of (and extending at least 800 miles on the banks 
of Re<l river and its tributaries, together with rH the 
back country. Calculate the advantages arising from this 
improvement, and they will be found immense. Take 
but two sections of land deep on each side of tlie river, 
and you find that 2,048,000 acres of land will be opened 
to a market for its products, and offered for sale by the 
United States; its average value will b** J5 per acre, pro- 
ducing an aggregate of J10,24<»,0o0. The whole exnctise 
to the government for the removal of the raft will not 
exceed $150,000. [LomwiUe Adv.

'Hie engineer uf one of the Massachusetts rail roads 
finds tliat by nut allowing spirits of any kind to the men 
employed, thirty per cent, is gained in the quantity of 
labor performed, besides the avoiding of ({uarrels and 
disturbances. In the face of a vast accumulation of facts, 
and ot each one*s individual experience, were it proper- 
ly noted, so many still persist in believing that the ukIt 
is a&sihted at labor and the mind refreshed by a little ipi- 
ritous stimuluiit, tliat it is well to make know nail Uie 
sti'iking cases in proof of the multiplex benefits, not of 
temperance merely, but of total ubstiiieuce. 

We congratulate the agriculturists of llic state of Ver- 
mont on the present prosfiects in rtdatioii to tlie price of 
wool. If we are correctly informed, this staple article 
of our enter])rising yeomanry will coinmand a much 
greater price than last year — few sales, however, have 
y*:t been effected, and these mostly are of nearly or quite 
the first quality. Prices for Uiese lots vary from 50 to 
G8 cents, as we are informed. We should think that 
wool was now commanding generally in this vicinity 
fifteen or tueiity percent. iiioi-t* than last year at this 
time. This is truly encouniging for our enterprising 
farmers and wool growers, and ought to stimulate them 
to extend their agricultural facilities for raising sheep.

For this expression of confiiience from the republican p.irty 
f»r the uni«in, I have not Inneuage to expreifs my gratitude. For 
tlie exalted talents, pure character ami sound principles of the 
Heiitleiiian, wliotte name wiis brought in compeiitiim with mine, 
no man can have a hii her lesprct than myself; and had he been 

Ikrefr.rred by the ronveuiion, it would have nfl'orded me tin? 
•iglicst pleasure to cive him niv cordial support. To my erent- 
«r age and Innier public irrviee, and not to superior qualifira 
lioAUfCan I attribute the preference of the convention; and if 
mmj Injury abould accrue to the republican cause from Itini pre 
fbfence, no man will deplore it more than myself. As, how- 
ever, the convention were undoubtedly betierqiialined to juilge 
on that point, than one or a few individuiils pos!<ibly can be, I 
liave but to accept the proffered nominaiinn, and rer-'izii inyxiflf 
III the will of the p«*n|ile. as it may be expr«'H-«ed ai the pidls. 
^*iie iratiAcation I feel at the honor doni* me i* tkii uninincled 
wilh regret — a regret, arising not Ironi Hie prefcrenei* ofniioiher 
hy a parimn of the convention, but from the eiror niuier which 
lliry aiqi^ar to have labored in telation to mv p'>liiii-nl piinci-

I uniformly acted with the republican party founded on IJi« 
piinciples asserted by Virginia hi 179d, and never withheld my 
support on any occaxion, from either of the distinguished men, 
who, in succession, became the representatives ofthese princi- 
ples at the head of tlie government, save only in the struggle of 
lt<l4, M.") and >1G, fur the CKtablifhnient of a naihinal bank. Pre- 
sident Madii^itn then, and many of my republican nssrK'iatea in 
coiigiestf, who eoiieurred with me in principle, leli theiuselvea 
con^liained to yit-ld up their objections to what they cousidered 
the highe^t law— public necessity, i continued to believe the 
remedy worse than the diseaj>e. 1 hud voted nsainst the Melmr- 
ter of the old bank of tbe United 9tiit«K, in IBIi, from ac<iBVle- 
tiun of Its dniigeious tendenri«-s a^i wt II as ii.« uiiconBtitUlionall- 
ty. Upon the same grounds 1 felt coiiittrained tu vote against 
the esi.ibliKhinent of the pn^sent b.ink in 1816, although advo- 
cated by the adininijtratioii to which I was attached, f voted 
against the bill to recharter this book in lr%U. In ItW I voted 
for Mr. Polk's resolntifm,declarinK, that ilie bank of the United 
States ought not to Ii<i rechariered, and 1 defended the preai- 
dent's iiu-ature in n-uurd to the removal of the public depositee, 
at every (louit at winch it was aci>ailed, with a view lo sever 
the conneetiiin bi:tween the gnvernment and the bank, and to 
make sure of a ilnal deliverance from the institution, ludeed. 
I have never wavert.d in my opinion against its conHiiiutioiiali- 
ly, and have never seen the inomt.nt when I would have given 
my vote for any simil.ir insiitniKUi. I cannot conceive how the 
opinion got abroad that I was in favin of the bunk or of any 
such unconstitutional monopoly, unle^^s it be from tiie circnm- 
sthiice, that I did not, with the aidor of younger pohticians, 
pledge myself asainsi every possible substitute for the present 
bank. Cieiieral Jackson, in one of his annual messages, suggest- 
ed the (»utlines of a substitute without stockholders or power to 
make loans, as I uiiderstu<Nl It; and in his veto message, he de- 
clared that he could have furni»hed a plan which would not bo 
liable to constitutional objections. Many of his friends believ- 
ed that it would be absolutely necesnary to have some substi- 
tute, and suggested a variety of vcheines. To all these I listen- 
ed, without giving my asKent to any, and never for a moment 
did I harbor a thuu^ht of pnqiosing or hupimrting any one, ex- 
cept in the event of a failure in the experiment to use the state 
banks; and then only such a scheme an hhould be entirely free 
from consiitutioiiHl objections, and have the approbation of the 
adiniuistratiun and the republican party. 

The recent developments of the power of doing mischief pos- 
sessed by a national bank, and the unconirulabie tendency to 
use this power to direct the politics of the country, have aatis- 
fird nie that no such institution should be tolerated, under any 
cireuinstanees. The facility and xuccess witii which the public 
business h.is recently b^en done through the state banks, have, 
in my opinion, proved that a national institution is as unnccea- 
sary as it in un>ufe and uiiconsiiiutKmal. 

In relation to the tariff, my views jippenr also not to be un- 
derstood. At the close of the last war, the general sentiment 
seemed to prevail among our eminent statesmen, especially 
those who had supported the government in that conflict, that 
it was the true policy of the government su lo regulate the ta- 
riff, as to promote the establishment of manufactures wIlMll 
our borders. In this opinion, many of the statesmen fiom tbe 
south united wilh those uf the middle and western states. With- 
out hiring di>tiugui»hed as a peculiar advocate of the coarse of 
IcgHlulioii which grew up under these circumstances, I gave it 
my support in pursuance of public opinion. As soon, however, 
as I perceived the dangers which were likely to grow oat of Ibis 
species of legii>laiion pushed lo success, I became an advocate 
for the reduciion of the tariff, and voted for every proposition 
having that end in view, down to and including the cooiproniise, 
which was made at the sesdion of 1^12-3. That compromise 
ought to be considered by all good citizens as putting an end to 
the question. No prudent snd patriotic man will, I am sure, 
ever attempt a renewal ol that spe(*ies of legislation. Fur my- 
self, I ran sincerely gay, Uiat I should consider any attempt of 
that siirt Hf savouring of enmliy to the government, inasmuch 
a^ it is unnece«ti.iry as a mea.<iirf of policy, and would certaiuly 
revive a controversy more dangerous to our union than any 
other whii h hnM arisen «ince the adoption of the federal consti- 
tution. Tlie preservHiicin of the union, and the harmony of ita 
iiienilM.'rs, are iiieoiiip;ir.ibly more iinpurtnnt than any system of 
Irgi.lation Hliicli leg.irds only the pecuniary interests of a por- 
tion of the pi>ople. 

The same riniaiks are applicable, in a great degree, to lh« 
siibJiTt ol internal iiNproveiiients. In relation to them. It nay 
aUo be ok^eived, thai the f^ui-cess of the several slates. In their 
prosecution, and the greal hiral interests vested in them, toge- 
ther with iIh* conr<ideratinn that the stales manage their con- 
cerns Willi more care and economy than the general govern- 
ment, are pHri«nasive arguments ngainst federal interference in 
them hereait«T, beyond cucli works as are universally coucednl 
to be ol a imtioiial character. 

In fine, I con-*ider the views of president Jackson, on the ta- 
riff and internal improvements, as founded in true wiadum; and 
as far as I may hereafter be enabled, it will be my earnest en- 
deavor to give them ellicacy in the administration uf the govorn- 
meni. 

On tlicits leading subjects, I felt it my duty to touch, becaasn 
it se« ins to h.ive been erroiiiMiiiinly apprehended by some, tliat I 
would be. di-tposed to use the influence of high official station^ 
to restore an expiiing uionofioly, and certalu in&sA.^SK««mk«i^>

b«rt of thi« new poiilical order hnve a*>i<nin«il the nam*? nf ih*- 
mocrat*) and pmfe«8 to be aaiocinted fur the purpose of n!f.-<ert- 
Inf and yphnlding the rights, powers and intrrevt^ of the pen- 
pie, in oppnsiiioa to the principles nntt prrtcnKiims tifa b«Nty i»r 
men in society, who are suppmed to he rn<>s to popular nslitii 
and inflnence. In order to sncnre the profeNsf^d objects of ilit; 
association, and to afford an adeqnnie Riinrnnty ff»r their prcHcr- 
vatlon, proitcription is n fiindnmentnl maxim iif the order, niid 
all the offices of the govrmnient, mutt be fliird with thHir own 
leaders or jnenibers. The nioiit shailnw observer of the human 
character, will see at a jtlnnce, that under the operation of thin 
pnnripltr, the capital and leading object of the members mint 
necessarily come to be the preservation of the aMoeiaiinn; and 
that every principle of coniiiiiieney , and of a sound repiibhcan 
policy, must yield when the aHcendancy of the order is in dan- 
icer and shall n-qiiira the sacriflce. Another inevitable and im- 
|»emtive result iif this association will be, to increase the ei- 
pcnditures and oflii-iai establiilimenis of th«> lovernment, and 
to iiisiiinle and consecrate the p<iliey of eontroltne elections by 
Ihr influence of executive patronngH. ity the method ol rea- 
acmini emplo3red by the advocates of this iiyiitem, retrenchment 
and reform would be actually rinncroiiii to the rii hu and liber- 
tibs of the people; for, in pro|M>rtii>n a« you subtract fnim the 
resources of the order establiidicd for their support, you expose 
theoi to defeat and overthrow. That such ar«! already the ac- 
tual results of the syiieni so far a;* it hat been practiced upon in 
any of the stales, I believe no impartial and unprejudiced ob- 
server will deny. The vows of piiverty and chaMiity are wise- 
ly omitted; but that of absolute obedienee and a reiiuneintinn of 
individual srntimeni and opinion, are the capital and indi^pen- 
aabie engagements of every member who hopes to rise t» dis- 
flinctinn. As a necessary consequence of these eniasemenls, 
(he Infallibility of the aeneral, or chief of the order, is the prin- 
cipat article in the faith of all its members. An efficient nnil 
At aiibntituie fi>r the danger of the assassin, i^ provided in the 
alanders of a designated, vile and proHiimied press. ((Mieers.) 
There ia one foul blot uprm the attempt to bring the princi- 
ple* of this new |>oliiical onler.or syftetn of party orcanizntion. 
to bear upon national poiiiics, which oblivious time itself cannot 
vraae. There has been one element of Ptrensth essayed by the 
poiilical druggists— one auxiliary souilit to be brousht into the 
field, by the partisans of this new scbrnie, whose interference 
there is not a true friend of the great cause of free government 
— of libeny itself, who docs not >inccrely deprecate; and when 
a few norc brief days Nhall have paitiied away, the aiders and 
abetters in the plot to bring aluiut such a result— cannot fail to 
be branded with appropriate Hhaine and infamy. I allude, of 
course, to the deliberate attempt to procure the op«!n and direct 
Interference of the president in the question. 

It was enongh that the plan of governing the country, by an 
«iclnsive, partial and paity action of the eovernment, should 
be conceived ami sup|>orted by thone who already enji>yed a 
large portion of its patrnnace; it would be quite so«m enough 
for Ihe liberties of the country, to hriiiB the whole patronage of 
the government directly in eonfliri with the frerdom ot elec- 
tions, in order to secure to a favorite the succession to the pre- 
sidency, after the new plan of Kovernint nt, of which such prac- 
tices are the principle and e^nence, shall have been matured 
and sanctioned by a m;Onriiy of the American people. Uui it 
seems, that to obtain tliii rrquii«ito sanction, not only the re- 
pose of the dir'tiiiitniflii-d p^^n'oii who now pre^ideit at tlie bend 
of affairs is to be di^turbid. in the evening of hi-< life, and at the 
close of his power; but, in onli-r to urcnre a more iwrfi-ci mo- 
nopoly of his great |K»pulariiy and hard earned fame, for the 
most unworthy pariixan U)<es, the very foundations uptm which 
Uiey have been sustained, are to be attacked and lorn away* 
And yet the autliorx f»f ihiH oiiira;;e, a;«niiiiie the name and chn- 
rnrter of friend^ to giMiernl Jacli<<fm— of repiiblienn principles; 
and profess to be bt.lievers in the right iiiid eapriciiy of self go- 
vernment in the people! U is ilii<t xnme c|;iim tif pieteiiders to

Uut, it teems, that I have. In some way, Incurred the speeial 
displeasure of the advocates of this new sclieme of governmeat« 
I am suddenly given a degree of prominence and imporiaace, 
by a set of men ut Wa«hington and elsewhere, out of this state, 
who never till now, thoucht me de!*eiving of either praise or 
censur**, 'jvhieh must, I thinli, strike the public with somesns- 
prise, and go very far to fhew the real ground nf their present 
respect for my prcteiiMoiiii, and their abu«e of my motives an^l 
objects. The interest which they have found in pursntag ure 
as a victim, cliiiiied in so buppily wiili the feelings and iaiarests 
of a party in this litaie, small in numbers, though of respectable 
talents and intlucnce, a parly led and urged on to tlie pursuit 
by the known titidrrtaktrt for the state, and who stand pledged 
that it ^linll iiuppori the ap|)ointnteiii or the Ualtlmore conven- 
tion, or "die Ml the last ditch;" that a combination between 
them acainst me was inevitable. They have a mutual interesly 
no doubt, in the Huecess of their designs. 

How it has happened that I have recently become the object 
of such fierce, unceasing and vindictive attacks, both at Itome 
and at Washington, though known to my particular friends, I 
b<'lieve, iit very little understood by the public. (Cries of trll, 
tell, tell). 

For the last two or three years, my opponents in this stale 
have bi'en waging, what I cimceive to be a most ■nworthy,nf^ 
genemus and indefenHible species nf political warfare agaiaat 
me. They have never thought it safe or prudent to assail taf 
principles and public course themselves, when, ail the while, 
their partisans, every where, were busily encaged in aowlatf 
the seeds of distrust and opposition. Mow it happened, that 
while my frii'iids could never hear my loading opponents avow 
a seutimepi of opposition to me, they f-iill found those wlHI 
were their known partisans, in the constant habit of denonoelni 
me, cnnlH not be accounted for, by any, but those who under- 
stoofl the tactics of a certain school of imliiicians. In condaet- 
ing thitr enti'rprii>es agniui't their op|M>nenta. But this is ant 
all I may jui'tly compl.iin of. When every elTort, of an ordina- 
ry kind, wa4 exhausted, and every chord, which it was sappos- 
ed, iniulii send back a responsive and hostile noie, had beea 
struck, and all had failed to hliake the confidence of tile people, 
instead of taking the lield in person, and leading their tralnea 
deputies in tln-ir aiiaek;', and thus making one liold, and manly 
and vigorous effort to .accomplish my overthrow, there gentle- 
men set themselves to work to effect a breach between the pre- 
sident and myself; n nian towards whom I have never yet ^tt- 
ed in showing a proper respect, and whose administration E 
have faithfully supported, and, in every instasce, with that de- 
gree of zeal, which could consistently and reasonably be ex- 
pected from me. They appear to have thought, that if they 
could get general Jackson to flash his /l^gia In the van of tbeiv 
attack, they could acquire a safe and easy victory; and for the 
last flf\een months they have not Hiteruiitted their exertiOBS to 
effect this fibject, by nicht or by day. As might be expected, 
from the nature of the undertakins, the most unscmimloiis sjrs- 
tem of detraction has been pursued, and the president has beea 
continually interrnpt^d with the grossest insinuations and ea- 
luinniew agaiii9>t me. That he should remain altogether aa- 
atfected by them, would Ik* Contrary to the usaal coarse of 
thinxs, I have reason to he saiifffed of^the fiicltthat at the clese 
of the seoron of consress before the last, it was agreed and ar- 
rnnxed b(>tween certain of my opponents in this piece, aad 
thtrae who were then in Waiihinstoii, upon a deliberate view nf 
the whole ground of opposition to me, that unless Ihe presi- 
dent could be mnde to denounce me openly, it was In vtfn iit 
attempt my defeat, and accordiiisly that he should be excited 
to do so. Whether the president countenanced this plan, I 
will ni't undertake to ^ny: I trust he did not, but certain it Is, 
that many of them, relyinc with confidence upon his cn-oprva- 
lion in their defiiEns, diiriiic bis viiit to the Hermitage in Iha 
summer, Uiied ireal industry to prepare the di<<trict for the an- 
ticipated df-nunciniion, by the propagation of unfavorable ro- 
mors. Ho far had the feelings of niy opponents becoaiecoBk- 
niittt'd to the success of this unworthy sehi-uie of procuring tba 
Interfeiencn of the preiiident in uiy election, that they could DO| 
repress the expression of their dissatisfaction witli the condact 
of ihoic Benllemen nf their own politics, who were supposed to 
have bei II in«trumenlal in defeatins it. Bvery sincere fVicnd 
of the treeilom which it is our hoaKi to enjoy, will, 1 am snge,

nent-i In this affair. It proven them lo be as recardlesa of every 
lioiind public prineipre. as thev are di:Hei«nt in manly feeling 
and condiiet. This ehnid whieh himg over, and for ■ tinio 
threatened to hnr^t upon my head, pax^ed away. It has been 
said thnt I elinled the utoriu by conerahng my sentiments. In 
evading a piir-iuit, even the moft unprincipled as this WRS, ifl 
all concerned, I would not have thon»lit myself excosable ia 
wearing a nia-k. My opponents knew, a« well as I dM, that I

y a recitation of iIh> uame* and firtueiprea of thoae gentleineii 
who have at different timea occupied a place In hia cabinet. 
It will beftuflieienl lo n'Oiatk, that gentlemen, notoriously and

upr>n the lo^t test qui^auon which wa* iflken upon the htgh

Upon Ihe fndian ([ue«flon, it ia equnlly noiorioiia, that

THE PABT^^TH* PaESE2rT--FOR THE FUTURE. 



EDITKD, PRINTKO AND PUBLISHED BT H. HILF.S, AT $5 PER ANRrH, PAYABLE IV AUYANCE. 



This nuinlHfr coiisi»tfi of twenty-four closely filleil 
piigea — liAvine a supplement. The nialler, however, is, 
g^oerally, niQier for future use than of present inter- 
est. 

The health of our cities on the sca-hotinl, is, at pre- 
sent, decidedly good, at this si.as>on of the year. 

The anti-masrtns of Vermont liavc nominated William 
•f. Palmer for Rfivernop, and Silas H. Jenmnon for lieut. 
governor. It is prohahlc that no other nomination will 
be made on the part of the opponents to ttie Baltimore 
eonveution. Mr. Bradley has again hecii named by the 
Jaeksonians, for governor. 

In Kentuckif, Mr. Hardin, the late memher, is oppos- 
ed iu his congressional district, hy John Pope, late go- 
vernor of Arkansas, to which he was appointed by gene- 
ral JaeKson. Mr. Pope avows himself a decided oppo- 
sieot of general Jackson's administration. 

After the late election, there was to have been a great 
enter tainment in N. Jersey, in honor of the "democracy" 
of tlie people of the sUtes of New York, New Jersey 
and Pennsylvania, kc and large preparations were made 
to receive the expected guests. "Ihey did not come. 
After screwing all that they could out of individuals, a 
Cavern keeper, named Norhury Baskford, brought an ac- 
tion against several individuals, and obtained a verdict — 
from which they appealed. Oidy 143 tickets were sold. 

The governor of Delaware has called an extra session 
of the legislature, to meet on the 81st ult. 

The Missouri Inquirer says that the Santa Fe traders 
mre eoUecting in large numbers at their place of rendez- 
vous, west of IndeiKindence. From this point they will 
•horllv take up ttieir line of march across the wide 
spmd prairies, to the land of the savage and the slaTe. 

rWho is the "slave!" The ^cx/can— under his 
nuitarT chieftains, and merceuarj priests armed with 
power f] 

Manj of the principal offenders on the Sahnvlkill 
eanal, (who would not suffer others to transport coal, nor 
do it themselves, committing numerous acts of violence), 
have been arrested hjr the sheriff of Berks county, Penn. 
supported by tlie military. A party of them, from two 
to three hundred strong, had marched to Heading, with 
masic and banners — but the sheriff immediately com- 
menced a hot pursuit of them, and captured several. The 
rest run away. 

The manufacture of salt at Kana'wha has been doub- 
led since 1833, ami is now about 2,000,000 btishels, an> 
nuallj. Many improvements have been introduced into 
the manufacture, as well as great savings made in the 
progress of the work^-from 150 to ^X) bushels being 
now made by a furnace per day, instead of from 80 to 
100. The coal is supplied hy 'rail roads, some of them 
51 miles long, and the water is obtained by steam power. 

In the municipal court of the city of Boston, last week, 
a person was tried and found guilty upon an indictment 
for stealing a newspaper from the door of a subscriber, 
-where it had been dropped by the carrier on his rooming 
round. He was mulcted in a fine and costs, amounting 
to $33. It would have been somewhat cheaper to have 
obtMoed the l»p«r honestly. 

A lady has been tried at New York, hy action against 

her husband and herself, for a breach of a promise of 

marriage! Many letters were read before the eourt-^ 

and her promise was clearlv proved; so the jury brought 

Vol. XLYlll— Sig. 'Sl(, 



in a verdict of one thousand dollars to heal the broken- 
hearted swain ! He had asked $5,000 for that purpose. 
This is the first case of the kind that we remember to 
have h<'aid of, and will make the ladies, who have moneys 
careful what they say or do. 

T!ie Globe has the following statement of the balance 
of gold remaining in the mint uncoined on the 31st May, 
IS.iJ, with the amount deposited fur coinage within the 
month of June, together with the amount of gold coinage 
executed witliin the same period, which shews a wonder- 
ful falling off: 

Remaining at the mint uncoined May Sl^t, 1835, $331/>3S 00 
DHpoinitfd for coinage within the niouUi of June, vis: 
Uncoined bullion, $64,400 00

\Vc are decidedly of opinion, (gathered from various 
quarters), that the crops will prove quite as abundant as 
u&uhI — notwithstanding the excessive cold of February, 
and the violent storms of June. 

The Vireinia Free Press, published in Jefferson coun- 
ty, says — Harvest has just commenced, and in all direc- 
tions we see many a *'well-iilled head" prostrated by the 
keen steel of the cradler. We know not how the wheat 
looks throughout the county generally; but we know this 
much — that many fields are turning out very favorably, 
contrary to tlie doleful lamentations that were raised con- 
cerning them some weeks since. 

The rail road from Baltimore to Washington beinjj as- 
certained to be two kourM long — the time from Washing- 
ton to New York, will be about sixteen hours. 

Mr. Poindexter was to have partaken of a publio din- 
ner at Lexington, Ky. on the 11th last. 

The Apalachicola (Florida) paper of the 15th June, 
informs us that the citizens of that place have all, with- 
out a single exception, resolved to abandon it en ma^te, 
and remove to St. Joseph's, which, as respects its harbor, 
local situation and salubrity, is regarded as a much more 
eligible site. They have been induced to take thla de- 
cisive step by what the editor calls the child's play and 
quibbling course of the proprietors, who appear to be 
non-residents. I'he harbor of St. Joseph's is dvseribed as 
being excellent, and it is announced that A|MiIachicola 
will nave to bow to it in silent submission. 

A worthy friend at Cincinnati sent us a note /brworcf- 
^ ed by Mr. CUiytoiiy dated at 5 o'clock on the 4th of Julj, 
bespeaking our good offices to hire, if he sliould reach 
Baltimore in his balloon. The letter, however, was re- 
ceived by mail, (marktMl at VVaverly,^ Pike county, Ohio, 
July 8), on the 14th inst. The latest account that we 
had liad of him was the following — 

The Cincinnati pajnirs of Tuesday (7th) state the 
steamboat Hero, which arrived at that place the day be- 
fore, passed under Mr. Clayton's balloon, which ascend- 
ed from Cincinnati at 6 o'clock on the 4th, about four 
miles south west of Guyandotte, at 1 1 o'clock on the night 
J of his ascension, going in an easterly direction. [Guyan-* 
dotte is distant 155 miles from Cincinnati.] 

[We have Mr. Clayton't report of his voyage, of 
which he gives a scientifio account. At 10, at night he 

*Waverly is 61 miles from Cotumhiiii,and 413 from WasbiB(« 
too— and Is nearer Cincinnati than Ooyandotia^

A Misaissppi i)ai>er mys it is not correct that Mr.

The New York Gazette of NVwdnesday says — The 
eatale of Mrs. Ann Uogers, consisting of UH\ liosc Hill 
lots, and 0^7 lots of Biuoiningdulc, was sold at the ex- 
change, on the '2d and 3d days of July, by Messrs. Frank-

The Maryland Io;in of a million lias been taken al

tmiiied it. 

A report that was put afloat tliat Mr. Taney had been 
Appointed a chief justice, was, at laist, premature. Henvy 
Sl George Tucker, of Virginia, is also spoken of for 
the oflice. He is president of tlie court of appeals. 

llie r<JIowing preaenls a new view of tlic office of a 
JQclge. 

TROX THB KATIOITAL INTELLIGEXCER. 

JHIhiirt, Galea 6f Seaton: You have publiiihed a rumor 
from Norfolk that the president has appointed Mr. Taney 
•hief jtutice of the Lulled States. This report surely 
caanot be correct. There can be no judge of the supreme 
court who does not hold his ofKce during good behaviour; 
Mid if ^f r. Taney can be, and has been appointed by the 
president without the advice and conseai of the senate, 
be holds the office, not during good behaviour, but at the 
will of the senate, who may ix'fuse their consent— or at the 
will of the president, who may alter his mind before the 
next session of the senate, and may then nominate ano- 
ther. No mail of delicacy would act as a judge under 
Mich an appointment. 1 have a high respect for Mr. Ta- 
Hej as a man and a lawyer, and do not know whether, in 
the present state of parties, we can cxiiect to obtain a bet- 
ter eliief justice; but I do not believe he will take upon 
Itimself the fnnclions of a judge of the supreme court, 
antil Ilia nomination shall have been confirmed by the 
aeiuite. Causidicus.

Mr. W^dham Robertson was appointed secretary. 

Mr. Leigh rose, and aRer paying to Mr. Marshall the 
tribute of a brief, but feeling eulogiiim, offered the fol- 
lowing preamble and resolutions. 

The people of the city of Ridimond, feeling in com- 
mon, as they well believe, with their fellow citizens 
througliout the nation, the profoundest veneration for the 
memory of the late JOHN MARSHALL, chief justice 
of the United States— having united during his life in 
the universal sentiment of admiration of his great abili- 
ties, respect for his exalted public virtues, confidence in 
Ills wisdom, and gratitude lor his services in so many 
honorable and important stations throughout his long and 
useful life, and especially in the high judicial office which 
he filled for more than thirty -four vears— and knowing, 
from the closer intercourse with him belter than any 
ottier community can know, Uie virtues that adorned his 
private character; the amiable simjilicity of his manners; 
nil unaffected modest^; his cheerful and happy temper; 
his habits of self-denial; his warm benevolence towards 
mil men; his active beneficence and unbounded charity; 
not only prompt when sought, but e^'er seeking objects 
of kindness— feeling, therefore, that though this whole 
nation may join with them in equal veneration of the 
wise statesman, the just judge, and the blameless patriot, 
none can have felt such love for the man as they have 
/eft, or can mourn her loss as they mourn it — and being 
desirous to erect some lasting monument of tlicir senti- 
ments, 

Metolved^ therefore, by the citizens of Riclimond, now 
in general meeting assembled. That the common coun- 
•il oe requested, in compliance with the unanimous wish 
of the whole people of this city, to cause a monument to 
be erected, at the expense of the city, over the remains 
of JOHN MARSHALL, in the public buryin|f ground, 
with a suitable inscription commemorative of his merits, 
and tlieir sense of them. 

ReMohoed, further , That this meeting, sensible thai 
their fleeting language and perishable acts are wholly 
inadequate to the merits of such a man, trust, as they 
may most confidently do, to history alone, to render due 
iMmora to his memory, by a faithful and immortal record 
of his wisdom, his virtues, and his services. 

JRetolved, That the chairman and secretatnr be re- 
quested to communicate the foregoing preamble and re- 
aoltttions to the family of the late chief justice Marshaxx; 
to express to them the deep sympathy of their fellow 
eitixens in the bereavement they have sustained; and to 
request assent to the purpose of the first resolution. 

The resolutions were seconded by Mr. Chapman John- 
ton, and, on questions severally put, were adopted unani- 
mously. 

Ou motion of Mr. Stanard, the meeting then adjoum- 
od. JOSEPH TATE, chairmatu 

Wtxdhax RoBUiTsoir, Secretary, 

At a meeting of tlie judges and members of the bar of 
the federal and sUte eoorts of this city, assembled at the 
oourt room in. the masonic hall, Baltimore, on motion of 
Nathaniel Williams, distinct attorney of the United 
States, Elias Glenn, judge of the district court, was ap- 
pointed chairman, John Purviance, a judge of the sixth 
jadictal district of Maryland, assistant chairman, and 
U. S. Heath, secretary. 

Whereui>on the following resolutions, offered by David 
Hoffman, who preceded them by an appropriate and Im- 
pressive address, were unanimously adopted:— 

Betolved, That the judges and members of the bar 
here assembled, feel with the deepest sensibility, the 
great national bereavement sustainvd in the death ol John 
Mabshall, chief justice of the United States. 

Beto!ved, That the eminent probity, the great profes- 
■ional learning, the clear judicial mind, and the dignified 
and eourteous manner, which in a remarkable degree 
eharaeterized the deceased during a period of nearly 
thirty-ffTe years, since his appointment to the highest 
judieial station of the country, render him an illustrious 
example of emulation to present and future ages. 

Xewhed, That to testify our profound respect for his 
exalted patriotism, private worth and judicial excellence, 
we will wear the atual badge of mourning for two 
months. 



Hesolwd, That, as. a further testimonial of our sin- 
cere veneration for his memory, a faithful likeness of 
him be procured, to be executed by one of our most emi- 
nent artists, and tliat Duvitl Hoffinan, Nathaniel Wil- 
liams, and Upton S. Heath, be a committee authoriied 
to obtain such likeness. 

Jiesoived, That this meeting fully concur in the reso- 
lution of the Philadelphia bar, in respect to the erection 
of a monument to the memory of chief justice Makbhaix 
—and will co-o|)erate therein. 

Retolved, That the several editors of tliis city be re- 
spectfully requested to publish the foregoing proceedings.

JOHN PURVL\NCE,5'^'^""'^- 

Ufton S. Hxatb, Secretary, 



It mny be well here to add the following from the 
.AVw York Evening Pott — happy to say that it is the 
only "thing of the sort" that we have seen: 

''Juilge Marshall was a man of very considerable talents 
and acquirements, and great amiableness of private cha- 
racter. His political doctrines, unfortunately, were of 
the ultra federal or aristocratic kind. He was one of 
those who, with Hamilton, distrusted the virtue and in- 
telligence of the people, and was in favor of a strong and 
vigorous geneml government, at the expense of the 
rights of the states and of the people. His judicial de- 
cisions of all questions involving political principles have 
been uniformly on the side of implied powers and a free 
construction of the constitution, and such also has been 
the uniform tendency of his writings. That he was sin- 
cere in these views, we do not exprass a doubt, nor diat 
he truly loved his country; but that he has been all his 
life long, a stumbling block and Impediment in the way 
nf democratic principles no one can deny, and his sitoe- 
tion, therefore, at the head of an important tribunal, con- 
stituted in litter defiance of the very first principles of 
democracy, has always been to us, as we have before 
frsnkly stated, an occasion of lively regret. Thai h§ i> 
at length remwi^dfrom that ttation IS A SOURCE OP 
SATISFACTION, while at the same time we trust we 
entertMin a proper sentiment for ilie death of a good Mid 
exemplary man."

Before the sheriff and a juiy. 

George Smith vs. John Prendergrtut.—On Friday, by virtaa of 
a writ of inquiry, Trom chief Juviice Jones ofthe superior eourit 
directed to the sheriff of the city and county of New York, an 
inquest was uken before the said sheriff and Jury in the case of 
col. George Bnilih, a respectable builder, afsinsi John Prendar- 
grait, a butcher, for the recovery of dsmiMses, fur a most wan- 
ton and cruel assault and battery cooimitted oa said Smith bjr 
said Prendergrast, on the 3d Avenue, on the 3d January last. 
The facts in brief, were as follows: Col. Smith, Mr. Josepli 
Brownwell, Thomas Hyatt, Thomas Walters, Willi Messrs. 
Palmer and Nafey and their wives, set out in their sleiabs to 
go to Harlem for a ride; and on the 3d Avenue, between York- 
ville and Harlaem, as Mr. Brownwell, who was in advance of 
the rest with his wife in the sleigh, was driving on the exiraoM 
right of the avenue, he was obliquely ran into by the sleigh in 
which were John Prendergrast, Peter N. Mcseerole, William 
Bear, and William Simonson, by which collision tha shafta of 
the sleigh of Prendergrast were broken and the horse ran sway. 
Mr. Brownwell stopping his horses and iomping out to aid 
them, they all rushed upon him with the fury of demons, beat 
him most unmercifully, and his wife clinging to him, was also 
beaten and had her veil torn off and lost. Colonel Smith and 
the others, with their wives, coming up in the other sleiihs, and 
being called on by Brownwell to interpose (or the pacification 
of the enraged assailants, was fallen upon, dreadfully beaten 
and bruined, thrown down, stamped upon with the heels of 
their boot* in hit fac«*, had his front teeth knocked loose, and 
was in dangpr of b^ing murdered, they swearing tliey would 
kill him. In this infamous outrage. Bear and Prendeivraat 
were the most conspicuous antors, and ihey were all tried and 
convicted at the court of sessions in March lavt. Bear was sent 
to the penitentiary (or a year.— Prendergrant and Meeserols, 
were fined twenty dve dollars each, and Simonson five dollars. 
This paltry pnnlHhment, l»earing no proportion to the outrage, 
colonel Smith brnnght a civil suit against Prendergrast, the 
only man of property nmong^t them; and the suit being coa- 
ducted ex pane by Francis B. Cutting, esq. and the proper proof 
made to establish the foregoini facu, tha Jury (bund a verdict 
against Prendergrast of 93^500 damages, and 6 cents eosis, a

cbiaM to lacreftK and to bring to the reach of all clasces of 
luankiad tlie nuccMariea and ccmveuiifncmi n( life. It is pro- 
verbial at tbe same time tital little or no advantage accrues to 
tliem from Ibeir iowniions. A conimiitee was appointed by 
the American Institute to report the cause. Their examina- 
tions brouglit them to tiie conclusion that it is owing more to a 
want of an accurate knowledge of the existing patent laws than 
to any imptfrfection in lliose laws. In a large proportion of tlie 
eaaea taken into consideration by the committee the apecifica- 
tiORS were fuund detective. 
The committee also found that large aniounu have been 



Mid every year to the patent office by men who can little af- 

ibrd the expenditure, for supposed new inventions or for sucli 

I are altogether useless. Provision, therefore, has been made 



ling the allow* 



new inventions or for such 
n, therefore, has been made 
by tbe Amencan Institute for affording such gratuitous direc- 
tions and instructions to inventors and their asiiigiiees for se- 
curing tiieir rights as the existing laws require, and for discri 
mioating, as far as praeticable, bt^tween inventions that are 
Bew and of value, and tliose which are useless. Those who 
wish to avail themselves of this assistance are invited to call at 
tlM library of the American Institute, No. 41 Courtlandt street,

as to perform it with as few clerks and as little expeaic 
as |>ossible. To this end they will, from lime to tunc, 
suggest to the posiniakter general audi changes as oiay 
appear to them to he useful. 

51. Punctual attendance to their proper stations will 
he exi>ected from all in the fcerviee of the departnieaty 
during office hours, and at other hours when reqoesied. 

52. If any clei k or messenger deaire to he absent dar- 
ing office hours, he 1»-ill obtain leave from the head of bis 
division. 

.53. Persons in public emuloyroent cannot be too scra- 
pulous ill refraining from the use of public pro|ierty f«r 
their own benefit or emolument The poatnnastcrr gene- 
ral would look upon the appropriation of the furniture or 
stationary of the department to the private nae of clerks, 
messengers or their families or its sale for their o»a 
private emolument, as a breach of mora lily and law not 
to be tolerated. 

54. It is the duty of all in the service of the depart- 
ment to see that others regard the post office law as well 
as themselves. The i>08tmaster general will cxiKrct them 
to report all breeches of those laws which may coroelo 
their knowledge; and he will regard as an unpardonable 
offence in any one of them, not posscssiiic: the frankiog 

Iirivilege, to ask or accept a frank from any one> to cover 
lis private correspondence. 

55. No officer, clerk or agent of the general post of- 
fice, will receive any present of value or any pecuniary 
favor from any contractor or other person having buu- 
ness with the department; and when travelling on mail 
lines they will insist on paying their stage^ rail road and 
steamboat fare like other citixens. Future disregard of 
these injunctions will not be overlooked. 

56. All regulations incompatible with the foregoing 
arc rescinded. 



The postmaster general looks to all those under hi» 
direction and control for a cheerful and vigorous co-ope- 
ration in the management of the business of the depart- 
ment, by which they will not only render an cssi»nti»l 
service to their country, but assuredly promote their o«n 
happiness, and extend their individual repwimion. It 
will give him pleasure, and it is his fixed purpose, to ad- 
vance, as occasion may offer, all such as by their indus- 
try, fidelity and cori-ect deportment,. may give character 
to the department, and enable him to discharge honora- 
bly the important duties with which he ia intrusted. 

The organization will take effect, and these regula- 
tions will be enforced, from this date.

CONSTITUTION OF THE BTATK OF MICHIGAN. 

In convention, begun at Ihe ciiy of Detroit, on the second 
Monday of May, in the year one thousand eight hundred and 
thirty five: 

We, the people of the territory of Michigan, an established bj 
the act of conure** of the 11th of January, 180.1, in conformity 
to the 5th article of the urdinancK providing for the government 
of the territory of the United Slates north west of the river 
Ohio, believing that the time has arrived when our present 
political condition ouclit to ceaae. and ihe right of self govern- 
ment be a«4«erte(l; and availing ourselves of that provirinn of 
the aforejiald oidmanee of the conuress of the United Siatea 
of the 1.3th day ol July, ITS7. and the acts of congress passed 
in accordance therewith, which entitles u^ to admission into 
the union, upon a condition which has been fulfilled, do. by 
our delegations in convention n«>emblcd, mutually agree to 
form ourielven into a free and indeprndant state, by the style 
.ind title <»( "the iiiaie of Miehigan,*' and do ordain and estab- 
li>h the foMowing constitution lor the government of the same: 

ARTtCLB 1. 
1. All politieal poiver i* inherent to the people. 
9 Government i* inxiituted for the protection, secarlty and 
benefit of the peopl*-; and they have the right ai all times to 
alter or rt form the *anie, and to aboli«h one form of giivern- 
in*'nl and e^tMblillh another whenever the general good requirsfl 
it. 
X No man or set of men are entitled to exclusive or seporalc 
JFVom the Berkt and Srhuylkill Journal, privileges. 

We pnbllsh to day the letter addre^trd liy general Jackson to I 4. Every person has a right to worship Almighty Go d >e- 
ihc cunimlttee of the Wolf party celebrating the 4ih of July in I cording to the dictates of hi* own cQ(i«ci,«\««\ ^a^ta^ 



of tlie state. The two men differ only in the qualities of bold- 
acaaand candor; in the main point they are alike, and will 
ImmIi be rejvuied on that score, When the hour of trial comes.*' 
* ***_*•*• > 

•(Notwithstanding Ihe fart that the charge of bankism has 
been proved upon Gi-orse Wolf, over and over again, his friends, 
taking counsel luily from decpnir, are endeavoring at tin* late 
tioiir to press him as an anti-bank candidate for the suffrages 
of democracy. Like drowning men, they grasp at any thing 
M-hieh holdfi out the rwmotesl chance of ^arety, and we will n(»t 
be surprised if on the e.ve of October, should they be able ti» 
remain in the f}r|«t no lone, they should add the cry of relorin 
to their It'll, though Wolf is nn much opposed to th<it falulary 
snenrure, a^ he is frinidly to the perpetuation of the luoustcr 
toank. 

*'To Jitg their memories on the subject of his excellency, our 
■rorthy governor > tenet*, we repiilili*h the proofs theretofore 
brought forward to establish the fact of his opposition to the 
demorraiic principles U|Mm which the |M>litical siruecles of 
1632 and 1634 were b.ised, and upon which the people of Penn- 
sylvania achieved such memorable trinmplts. 

** After Ihe veto, and after the election, which turned upon 
that instrument, in which George Wolf was iiaved from the 
effect* of his own unpopularity, by the ineriin of another, he 
formally put forth the following precious doctrines in lulaiion 
to the bank, in his message to the legii.laturf : 

'* *Il leoutd be a Muhjeet of regret, if a too strict adherence lo a 
iileral construction of the comlitulion, in regard to the powers 
conferred upon congre*if by that in^trument, to establish such 
nn instiiutirm. or a too criiirni analysis of its expediency In a 
moral or political point of view, or the imprudent, intemperate 
nnd impetuous zeal of itH friend*, and iho«e intrusted with its 
yr>vernment and the management and direction of its affair*, 
■hnuld have the eff»-et to prevent a renewal of its charter, sufh- 
ciently restrictrd, clierked and guarded, and thus unsettle that 
which has heretofore been considered a* the settled and estab- 
lished policy of ih*! eniintry.* 

*'Not a particle of these latitudlnarian and anti-democratic 
opininna, has ever been retracted. The message of February, 
1834, has l»een relied <>n to prove a chanze, hut it contains no 
such evidenee, on wiiieh point *enator McKean, the nrisinator 
of the caucu*, and the bosom friend and associate of George 
Wolf, is sufflcietiilv explirit. 

**On the 9.5111 of April, I83<t, McKean, while speaking of that 
message, declared in his seat in the senate, that * governor 
Wolf wtu then and is now in favor of a national hank, and he 
bettevee the fiscal coneerne of the gorernment cannot get alov* 
tcUhoutU.* 

** And again, «tome days afterwards, he said that it was a mat- 
ter of his own knowUdge thai * governor lyotpt omnt'-'ut at to 
the utility mud necessity of a national bank had not ehnnecd.* 

*'The*e exiraef,! nre unfflciently salisfart«»ry, and « "^tahlish 
i1m» bankism of George Wolf b<:>niid a duubl, lor it i» liiuii>elf 
and bis crmfldentlal friend who sp<:ak.>*

mere partiiility or prfijadice, and his icting (br caatea which h« 
WHS bound to proclaim to ihe world? Wa* it not an iroportnni 
point to make tb« eiecullve vzainino and concider well the 
cbarfea acainut a public officer, that he mifht take good care 
Itoal the charge* were well founded and of ■ufficifnt weight, be- 
fbra be removed him from office.' The coniMiitiee had endea- 
vored to avoid any interference with the executive power; but, 
at the aame time, to put such sufficieut check* and balances on 
It as experience recommended, to prevent its abuse. At what 
time, he a»ked, had r«:mnvals from office l»een made, that did 
not produce some agitation in ihtf public mind.' He had not, 
however, at any time, inteiidi-d to divcuKs lhi« part of the ques- 
tion; he did not, whuii he save his coiiHeni to the bill in com- 
mittee, nor had be at any iiin«' since, intended tu go into it •* a 
party measure. Look, naid Mr. B. at the cniiiplcxioii of the 
eommitlee. It was coinpoxi'd of the three ditferent parties 
wbicii divided the S4*nati;. Fir.it, there wa^ the party suppiHt- 
iog the adiitiiiistraiion, who assumed to be the exrlui*ive d»Mno- 
erali*; then there was the national rcpublirniiit', and lastly, th»'re 
was another party, to which he bfl<ini{<>il, and wliirh he wa^ 
•nrry in say did n«)l meet with much fsivor now a-d:(ys,drnonii- 
nating theniM-lves the htaie rieliit puny, but who w«;r(! ^ligma- 
tised with Ihe mad-dog nanie of niillincrx. Now, it happened, 
that the commitive coiiftirted of tu o members fioni raoh of the^e 
three partitas. \o one puny could du utiy thing in the roiuniit- 
tve without drawing aid from one of the others; yet there was 
a concurrence of the whole of the couiiiiittee in the r«|M>rt and 
bills. With but one sin:{le excepiioii, and that was with regard 
to the amendment to the conntitutiiin. 

Ue weiitioned Uiis to show that the measure before Uie senate 
«r«a not a party movement, and that it was nut introduced lor 
llie purpose ofexciting that piirty spirit, kmi much of which was 
abroAd. He solemnly declared that he h.id no desire, in any 
diacussifNi he might enease in, to rouse any of ihone party feel- 
ing* whicli pievailed outnide of the cenutc. He was loo old a 
Niau to permit Kuch feeUngi* to enter his breast. He knew that 
tiaere must, and that there always Would be, difTerent parties in 
tiiU country at tmies excited by high party feeling. Fur. as in 
CiM natural elrnienis, the windn, waves and billows, were ne- 
eaa««ry to purify the world, to the storms of party were necea- 
aary to puiiiy the iMilitical world. He had been much of his 
liib in a minority, while he always believed liiinself to be a re- 
paMican; yet be knew that republics had been overthrown by 
tiiose calling themselves republicans. Even under Mr. Jeffer- 
aoa*8 and Mr. Madison's administrations, he had been deemed 
rebellious. He would not then vote for a particular measure, 
aad be was denounced. Yet public opinion had since done 
bin Justice, it was only necessary that a free and candid dis- 
cuasioii should go abroad; and those who paid the taxes, and 
bore the burdens of the government, would come to a just con- 
clvaion. 

He would not (Mr. B. said) farther occupy the time of the 
araate. He was convinced, from the exainiHaiion that he had 
given to tlie sul^ect, that this biii contained iiecei«Knry and pro- 
per provisions for the regulation of the executive department: 
Ibet, whilst it took away none of those powers necessary for 
carrying on the government, it placed them under such prnpur 
rcgulaiiuos as experience dictated. He foib<ire to go into de- 
tail. Ue left it to every senator to fomi his own opinions a:* to 
ttae propriety of oassing this bill. But, surely, if public calm- 
■eae, public coiiridence, and public security, was at all de»ira- 
Me, it must be obvious that the provisions of a bill of the nature 
ofthe one before the senate, were nccesHtiry. In desiring the 
passage of Uiis bill, ho had only the welfare of his country at 
beart. Ue bad no personal object in view. He Ind no amhi- 
tioa. For himself, he preferred to sit with his rod and line on 
Iba banks of a clear and pellucid stream, enjoying the plea)<ures 
of calmness and coutemploiion, to any objc.cu liiai ambition 
eould achieve. 

Mr. SkepUy said: It is not my pnrpore, nor do I intend in 
cater Into an elaborate argument upon this bill; but I do intend 
to assign a reason or two why the bill, in my Judgnirm, if it 
could be carried into eiTect, would be productive of much mis- 
chief, and of no good. 

It proposes to repeal the law which limita the tenure of cer- 
taio offices to lour years, and to rrquire the president, upon the 
reinoval of an officer, when he nominatea a successor, to assign 
bii reasons to the senate for xuch removal. What then is to 
i»e tlie practical operation of the bill.' It will prevent the ler- 
Biinatlon of official life by the operation of law. When an in- 
dividual obtains office, he will continue to hold it until de- 
prived ofit by death, unless the president removes him. But 
Ibo president is not to remove him without assiining his rea- 
■ona lo the senate; and there is no object in having the reasons 
■Migned, unless those reasons are to be examined, and their 
fofficiency decided upon by the senate, as well as by the whole 
people. The president, therefore, must not only be able to as- 
lifa satisfactory reasons, but he must be enabled to establi/h 
by Mtisfactnry proof every fact upon which those reasons are 
(bonded. If he does not do thi«, he may be condemned in the 
jadgment of others, however good those reasons may be in his 
i»wo mind, and however well proved may be the facts in his 
9wa jadimenl. The practical result, then, must be, that the 
praatdent cannot remove from office until misconduct or cor- 
raplion aball ool only be made lo appear satisfactorily to him to 
ixiat, but It mast be so aatisfitctorilf proved, as to establish the 
Ihet to the tatiaAction of tbt lenate. Tbe rtaaona, tiiea, mutt 



be as satisfactory and as well esublished, as if an Impeachmeat 
of the officer was to be brought forward by the house, and tried 
and decided in this body. It would readily be perceived, that, 
if such was to be the practical operation of liie proposed bill, it 
virtually made tlie tenure of office a tenure during good beha- 
viour, which is the aame aa during life, unless misconduct ia 
proved. This bill, then, really proposes a practical cliange of 
the mode of holding office under this government, aa to all ibe 
officers but the judicial officers; and gives the same security to 
all others as to the judicial officers, except that the judicial 
officers Will hold their officea by virtue of the constitutional 
provision, while the others hold theirs by virtue of tbe law. 

And what is to be the etfect ol the proposed change.' In Ibe 
first place, it creates a privileged elasi* in the community. And 
I am not dmposed to encourage tiin establishment of a favored 
and privileged class, haviiiK divtincl interest and a separated 
feeline marked off, and divided from the people by distinguisha- 
ble line*. 

Reason and experience bolli teacli u?, that the result of hold- 
ing nffi(;e* duriiitf good behaviour, is to create an iinpreskion ia 
the. officer, that he may consult his own feelingK, his own con- 
venieiic", bin caprice or pleasure, instead of the interests and 
' the convenience of the people, for whofe benefit only he holds, 
or ought to hold it. He will conduct ditferfcntly in office from 
what he would do, if he knew ilint lie was at all times subject 
to bi: removed, whenever it could bi) shown that the people 
could be betti r t^orved by another. 

The officer who holds during good behaviour, soon acquires a 
di5po^ition to regard the office a-* his own profHtrty or estate, 
rather than as a trust merely, which he admiiiiifters, not for hie 
own benefit, but for the benefit of the whole people. And be 
is not inffnenced by that direct sense of duty which ongbt to 
and would control him, if he was more sennible of a direct ac- 
countability to public opinion. The tendency is to bold oat 
temptations to him to abuse his trust, because he can do it with 
lens danger of being deprived ofit. 

If offices are held during good behaviour, or life, the govera- 
mrnt is disabled fnim doing justice to tbe people; they have a 
right to require of the government the appointment of such 
men to office as can bent perform the dutief; and it may bap- 
pen, and frequently does, and will liappen, that individuals are 
selected for office who prove to be deficient in those qualifica- 
tions of mind, or habits of life, which are necessary to enable 
them to discharge the duties to the best advantage, and roost 
usefully; and yet they may endeavor to dp well. And are tbe 
people to suflTer all the evils of their remaining in office for life, 
while they may be U!*rful to themselves or others in a different 
situation, and when others may be enabled to discharge the du- 
ties intrusted to them, much more lo the interest and satislao- 
tion of the people? 

Is it ju-it to the people to continue a man in office fhr life, if 
he has done well, who may have been ho fortunate as to accu- 
mulate a large est.tte, while there may be found many equally 
capable of pwrlurming the diitien, who, by disease or other mis- 
fonnnes, may luve been reduced to want, or may be disquali- 
fied for nioie active and laboriou* business' 

It may l»e desirable to have the power to bestow office upon 
those well qu>iliAfd, who, in Ihe service of the country in time 
of war, may havK been disabled for the more active duties of 
life by the loss of a limb, or by the t flVrts of disease, instead of 
burihening the people with their support by a penshto. And 
must the governuii nt he deprived of this power, for tbe par- 
po^ce, it may be, of assisting the luxurious officeholder to ob- 
tain still other indulgences.' 

The effect will be to perpetuate abuses. A man long In 
office, if he becomes skilful in the prrfurmance of lis duties, 
liecomes also skilful in all the means by which he may use it 
for oppression; for the accumulation of uiiju«t gains; and skilfbl 
in Ihe thousand devices by which he may tax Ihe government 
and people both, and obtain emoluments which were never de- 
signed for him. 

He becomen wise also, in covering up, and in keeping secret, 
abuves which exist; and which can never be discovered and 
proved even when believed to exist, until he is removed, and 
all his papeis and proceedings are subjected to the examination 
ofothers. It has been often found that it is only by removal* 
that the truth, %vith regard to the conduct of officers, is disclne- 
ed. And for this reason it is, that many of the states have 
limited a period of lime beyond which no person should hold 
the office of treasurer. They have judged it to be wise to de- 
prive those of office, who are intrusted with their money, at 
certain short period* of time, and to require a surrender of all 
their papers, and an examination of all their conduct; and they 
do this becaoie they judge It to be the only cerUin and effeeta- 
al method of having the trust fsithfiilly and safely discharged. 
Why should a rule, deemed just and wise by so many sutes, 
be disregarded by us? 

Experience has taught the states, as well as the union, that 
it is a wise and just rule. Many Instances of defalcation and 
corniption among those, who were supposed to be good officers 
while in office, have been discovered, on their retiring by vir- 
tue of a law, or OB their removal; and their names could be 
given, but I forbear to do It, as it is not necessary to tbe arf u- 
">cnt. ^„ ^ 

There is now a double responsibility upon public offlcert. 
They are responsible to the president as the eiecniive; and 
they are now also responsible to the people. They most ao 
discbarge their duUes as to satisfy those, whose daty itli lo

Tbfn I wa* in oppiiiitiim to ilie odruioiilraiion— now T nm a 
friend to iUf ddininMiraimti. TLiia can make no change Jn my 
course. When we havc' a pure and vlrtuoua man for a chief

creuofiary power, which Lhey can take wjtii propn^iy. Il wtii

My oiiiniona apnn Ihia tuhji'dare nOii founded upon ihe petty

When called on in act my pari, it !« matter not lo he cnn<i-

eallad on for an npioion^ mv frieudu and myaelf were at iJie ioi-

and It would appear to me a moat wild and muchievous opl^ 
nioQ. 

The ezocutWe power In our forernment In ihc pre«idcii?, b 
tJiat veiled in him by tTpreii grcrn/s m the constilu lion, or veat- 
ed in him by acfr of congraw paased in purtuaaGe of the «04i«U- 
luiion and no more^ 

By Ibe constitution all tegitlaiive powar lArveCn (4ereia) gFanl- 
ttd, la veaied in coneresa. By Ihe aame inslrtiineiii, liie eiecti- 
tlva power is vested in a pieaident. 

In ibia latter clauae^ Oie worda^^berefn granicd^^'usied in lb* 
farifier are dropped^ 

The reason lor droppfnjt them, l«, lo my mind viry obvlona. 
If Lhey had been u»ed as to ilie pri^ident he would not hw 
any but a small pr>rlion of iJiie powtrs necesaary lo be veatr^ 
tarn, to carry on the affairs of ^rivernmont. 

The framen* of that ln:<ilriioK'ni« fiireiiaw lb a I be must )ia' 
many more p<iwer# ihiin they cimid specify in ihe consiiiutioit^ 
and therefore itiey say the eteculive puwer ahall bu v*>Mied in a 
president, inicndinfl thai \w should have and ejciirriae aH the 
powers they ihcm»elve« ftfitcrwaids mi«hi vest hnn with, and 
aUo all niher* which congreM mij^ni from time |o time vevi In 
him by lau!* patted in piit^uanrv 4>f the cin^iliution* And af- 
lerwarda they «um up bif dntiea, aa)lng Uial be shtiill eee Uiat 
th«^ laws ar4» faithrully eiecuted. 

Under tha^e j^evi^ral claims the eircutivc powerK are eaafly 
aicerlaincd. We flrpt hM^k Into the conMiiniion, and there aea 
what pt>w«r8 are eipresfly «iven to him- Xeit we look to Iba 
aci4 of confre*s, and ibere AinSk what powers congrKsa baa veat- 
ed film withj and ihna we aci^ertiiin ht* whole powers, and 
then we aee, that hi* duties are to siee that all these power* 
are faithfully eaecuted. It ia as much liia duly to aee that a 
power vested in him by consliiuiional fau' Is faithfully execiil* 
ed» aa it i« to sar that a power vesittd in bim by Ibe cooatito- 
lirm it«elf ie faithfully eiecnied. 

Whatever powers are veated by the eonaUtution, cnngreaa 
baa no power lo chAnge. whatever power* they vest by aututa 
lhey may ckang* and modifif at pleat itre. 

Any oiber notion of eiectitlve powers veiled In the preai- 
dent, il aeem* lo ma caunot be mainulnefl under our form of 
fovernment. , . . . 

By the c^nptiiuiion two clansea of offlcorn are evidently in- 
tended. In relation to one of lhi"«e, conjtre^s is Imvnd to create 
ihf*m, and wh^n cre*trd, ihe leniirc of their office r« Used by 
the con^tiiuiinn, ortd can newr b« cbanged by act of cort|pe«a» 
As it relates to the oilit^r claaf, coiigveM may create ib« ofll-

d»liervnt rulir. 'J'hc bill was reported by a aclect committee of 
the sttiuie. It waa one of the re*ult# to which that couiuiiuea 
hJid arrived, mfwi gteM labor and detibtTaiioli^ and ihey hod 
«preail lielore the senate a uiass of fuels, ami *§ long irmn of 
fcaJotHnji, A» Utv f rounds upon whiich the b^tl waa recfinititend' 
rd to ihe acCepl^fice of the body. Could it then be true ibat 
tttese fttctii and thia rea^fimng, coosiiiutinK llie report of tlia 
contfiilliee, were not proper iubjectn for remark when acting 
npon ihr btui tie wa« sure ihti honoratj'le aw naior, upiiii mora 
matuiH reflection, would change Iuk Opinion, and hold the re- 
piiri fully before ilte senile. He bchcved thai any and 
tiwty part «»f the report loigiil he properly diAcu-^ed upnn 
eiihrf of the propo«iliona with winch the commkitee bad 
cttnctudcd, but be did noi choowe, himaelf, to notice uiore of It 
now than waa pertiovnt to the mn tier before him. 

Mr. VV. aaid, he mu^t be permuted to reuinrk, before he prcK 
ceeded, Ihut be hud been wtiody un^ible to feel, or diKCOivar 
the necesaity for the »on>bre and alarming picture ol danger v> 
our happy form of frrrvrnmvnt which the committee had 
ihouijhi It their duty to prei^eni. He could not feel that Iha 
safely or perpetuity of our inHtitutions was peculiarly threalan- 
ed at the ptetent mote than at any lormer period of onr hlnorx. 
L)n the contmry, ho bad «uppo«fd he could juatly felicitate tba 
senate and the country upon the (act, which he had e«pect#d 
would have bei-n admitted by all, that our cuodition wa« rapid- 
ly improving. No nmn in Iheae fteiti^ had IniitiHten the pie- 
lure drawn lo oitr tinaflnation» tw»?lvv inoiiihs fiince— a pietara 
which not only shockril u«, but ahncked ihi* whole widely ei* 
tended country to a decree never before witnesaed in the iieriod 
of hi* recolieciton. Then, however, ejcet***!'* /hi (rename waa 
not the dangtrr, hut tieeuliv* w-iurpafian, The aword and tha 
pitne of the nniion were in one band, and our liberiiea wera 
about tobec)ovt>n d<iWQ. The fractured and broken pillars of 
the eori«iuu lion were acattered before uv, to diepiay the rula 
whkli had been made, and to warn ua of Uie dai)|er whkU Ita- 
peiided. 

1'hai time nnd that danger had gnne Hy. A dbdnct iaeua twat 
fnrriied and liiubRilttrd to the sober and tnlrlligetil seme of tha 
Amertenti pcrtphi, niud their decision hml put an end lo the aft- 
laiiiin.^ Executive patrouai^e waa ilntn a considi ration trni 
irj'Qinfi to iiave a place in the leadi^ni!: dt^cusaiona. Snuie nieo- 
tion of an army of forty thousand ofncehMldirn oiifbi have been 
mnde^ Iml they w»irc Incidental and un^itoporinot. Usurpntton 
w:is the order of the day, and tyranny and d«^«potiam were upon 
a«. Mr. W. BQid he soppnti'dl he might congratulate every 
p^irmt and Inver 42»f \ut cratnlry ihnt iii\e great dnoKt't bad beeu 
pafifed^iind Hi hoFrible evdn avrrtt-d.h)' the filogle nnd site nt 
(ilteraCMni *>f an election; and he had hfiped that iiiciea«ed coo- 
fidi^nee in the saiety nnd durability of our instiiuiion? would 
have followed IhU erati/yin^ eiperienca. How dilTerenl wa« 
the fact! He now found in the re|>art of the cotutnittee before 
him, abundant evidence — i( the *ad imaginioics of ihe comoiitlea 
Were facis — that we were much nearer fln<il rutri than at tha 
period li* which he \\n& alluded. Now utur/iai'tOTii h) the ea- 
ecutivM had ceased lo be dung»»iouK|» but the great polroiaof « in 
the hind* of ibe preaident was fa*t drivini tbi« i\ne ship of 
»t.ile upnn Ibe rock*, nnd immliikcnily thieatenoif ilie only fra* 
giivernment in the wotid with utier and irrrtrtrvable rum. 

LTtider this renewed atieinpi to excite alnrui and apprehen- 
aion in the mind* of tho peaceful citizens oftbe country, he fell 
it to be his imperaiive duly to proclaim an entire abac nee of 
Ihtf threatened dangers. Ttie country waa aouod, and health- 
foJ, and p)0(perouii, ami happy, and the patronage of th« a»- 
ecurivc was not to ciirrupt iti morals, endsofer it# peace, or 
dbttrity U» hberties. The mittake af the committee had pro- 
ceedi'd frotn the awumption of premiiet wholly erroneoua, and 
the conpequent deduction of unfoundud ronriu«ions. 

Mr. W. said he would prOH:eed to »how thta by a partial ana- 
lytra of their principal fact, and by an i>a position of the falla- 
<*ious cooctusiona drawn ftom it. They state that the number 
ofliersonK de|>er«deiH upon (he leovernmenl for support, ii one 
hundred thousand and seventy nine, and tbey assume that alii 
such peri>ofi»are^'*upiile tndirumenia of power.*' This treat 
number of ppr*on4 thtid eihlbited, nod thiia charaeteriaed, waa 
ctiiculfitf-d tostnrile the mind. It had shocked him wheo ba 
ntM hfard llie report read at the secretary 'm i.nbla. He bad 
heard much *nld, durini; the la^i year, both at home and here, 
by the nppnnenti of the adininistratlon, of the danger to tha 
cmntry from an army of /oTij^ tkotaand officeholderi*, but bii 
fear* hdd not been eicited,and be had never attemptf'd to ei- 
ainine the cotupr»i.fcli'vn f»f the corps. When, lnowcver, ha 
found the nuoibtf swelled by the report of the conimiliee to 
more than one h»ndrtd thouaand, he felt imperiled fo inquira 
who were theae hundred thousand men paid by this free go* 
vernmetii that thpy mialvi wisJd public opintoo to ita de^iruc* 
lion. He bad made ihe inr^uiry, and to eihlhit the ra«ulta to 
the senate and the country, and Ihut to rr^pel the alarming ifti- 
plif^ation of danger to our ln»litolir>ns which itM^ht otlierwl«« 
arivo from our action upon this bill^ w«« Ihe principal object ba 
had In view upon the pr«arni occasion. 

I jfirse, then, he found the whote cirmy, officer*, aoMtara,

Let theae hundred thouaand individuala suind befbre tJie In- 
telliJCKiii people of our country in tlU'lr true character, And let 
them aay how far they are hki'ly to undermttie and deatroy their 
liberlie*. For himcelf, Mr. W.aaid, lie could feel no appre- 
hension, lie b«lii»ved thtrm^ aa a mu^s, an honor, and nut « 
danger to Ihe couuiry; and ao he tliought they were, and would 
continue to be viewed by the peopi?. Here ho wiiuid leave itiia 
atoMt nlarminjE ansumption of the committee, and p-roceed lo cz- 
BiiiijiB anntber, not leas errom:oiit. I'he committee aaeume, 
wiitiriiit uTiriifipiine to prove^ tlmt those hundred thotttand of- 
ticeliMMers And dcpcndmit^, can inflnenci; and direct the will of 
the Americciii people; can control iheir action at the polla, and 
dtctaie the resuttn of their free elections. Mr. Preaidtnt, aald 
Mr. W. ihia is an asirumption aa viofent as it is unfounded, and 
doea great injustice to the inflexible integrity of our inteltigent 
yeomanry. They, sir, controled in the eieicisa of that right 
which ihey consider above all price, the risbt of giving a vot« 
for the man who ia to rule over tJiiem, by officeholders, by tol- 
diers, failors, laborera In the employ of the govrrnmenij malt 
contractor*, mail carfter*r, and coacb driver*, r*r by peo«iojiers? 
No, uift never. The idea does injustice to tlieir tnirgfliy and 
inteihgence. Tliey are controlt- d by no rarihTy ;iower in their 
exercirte of that deareal righi of a freamaOi and tbf^ suppoaitioa 
that Ihey are, ia, to u»e llie iitUdest term, a niMlake of the c^tm- 
mittce of A Rlartng chnracif^r The thiriern milliona of free peo- 
ple ot tills coiiniry ^-omrolcd in their elfeclionn by a few thou- 
PAnd e»fTit- eh alder* and dependiint* upon the goveinment.' By ii

iitJt tliua «'4upplB" and **ub^ervieni»" whatever may tM lh# 
character of Ihoso who receive their favora and bounty. 

Hut ia ft fmr to presume,, from any iknown facif, that thoat 
holding of6ce and patrontee are inclioed lo infTuence the peiK 
pie for evil to the cnunlry? Mr. W. aoid, he knew of no evi- 
dence to warrant auch an atfumplion. I'hat ainitng the great 
numlM'irs boldi»iigofliice,bud men miKlit he found, was more than 
probable; lint lie believed tbo eicepiiona wou4d be ao few, If

A tliird n*fumpticin< of Hip cnnimHiee, not litss unfoundedf in l)t« 
jiidgmeiit, and more violent and unjust, than either of tt)« 
fufiiu-'r. 

Mr. W. anid, he referred to the assumption, found in the re- 
port, th«il ftWitrr* arc brstowed '^ns rewaritv lor |M«tlaan aervke, 
without respect to merit, '* This broad charga appears ujioti

iifonger eipretrlon of the public approbation than tlmt which

It was Pli/mpton, anil not Plymouth, at whicli happen- 
ed the Declaration of Independence^ mentioned in the 
RxoiSTBR of tlie 1 1th insL 



In the next number we intend to conolude all that we 
■hall give of the debate in the senute on ''executive i>ar 
tronage" — to wit, the speeches of Messrs. Webster aitd 
Grundj/, and some briet sketches of two or three others. 
The debate is one that will be often referred to hereafter; 
and, if not interesting, at present, our readers will be 
thankful to us, a year or two hence, tliat we have made 
■o extensive a record of it. It has extended to a greater 
length than we designed, though still imperfect — but 
our desire was to give a fair, and full, view of the sub- 
ject— the ultinuOe disposition of which has already been 
refgi$tered. 

The Washington rail road was opened for public tra- 
vel a short distance beyond Dladensburg, on Monday 
last— and the rate of going was twenty miles an hour. It 
will soon be complete<l — the iron having arrived, and 
the chief thing required is to lay it down. 

Captain Read, of the navy, who was recently tried in 
BaUiraore on certain charges preferred by midshipman 
tFiitOH, has been sentence to suspension from the ser- 
▼iee for one year. The sentence has been approved by 
the president. 

We Snd the following particulars in the Array and 
JStkwy Chronicle: 

Capuin Read, of the navy, was tried upon five distinct cbar- 
gaa, each having three ■peciilcaiions. 

Charge fitti. Conduct unbeconiing an officer and a gentle- 

Soeond. Oppression. 

Tkiii. Cruelly. 

JPotuik. Scandalous conduct. 

f\flk. Viulaiion Of ihe 'Mih article of the act for the better 
(overnmeni or the navy of the United Stales. 

Upon the fir^i charge, the court found him "cuilty under Ihe 
Cliarge itMlf of conduct unbecoming an officer, but not guilty of 
Ckai part which charges him with conduct unt»ecoming a gen- 



Ttie court also found him guilty of the $eeond and fifth char- 
gM; guilty of all the specifications of the third and fourth char- 
cea, but not guilty of the charges themselves. **Upon ihi« flnd- 
Mg Uie court do hereby sentence the accused, captain George 
C Read, to be suspended from the service ofthe United Buies 
Ibr one year." 

Tliis decision was made by the court on Ist July, and the 
••iilence approved by the navy depanmeni on the 90ib. 

Mr. IJvinptton^t speech at the public dinner given to 
him at New York will be found iu our pages. It will be 
read with interest. 

On Saturday last, according; to previous arrangements, 
he dined at Philadelphia, with a large company. He 
ITM addressed by Mr. Dailat, preparatory to the folio w- 
Imtt toast — to which he responded: 

Our •min^ni and honored gueH, Edward lAvingtton^Whooe 
Wgh career of philanthropy, Jurisprudence, statesmanship, di- 
ploasacy and all pervading republicanism, has ameliorated the 
eondiiion of man, exalted his native country, and secured for 
kisBself univerMi affection and imperishable fame— health, hap- 
piBCM and a heartfelt wflcome to her cherished citisen and 
dtaantlen defender, is the approving acciamaiioo of united 
AiNcrica! 

This toast was also given, and may shew the character 
ofthe feast— 

Tk* senate ofthm Onitei Sfotct— May the calm but resistless 
posrar of popular opinion, speedily relastaie its true represenu- 
Clw charaeter, and forever banish from its walls the inquisito- 
rial practices of party proscription and violence. 

We mentioned, a short time ago, a discovery con- 
•eming artiJSdal »tone, whicli, it seems, can he made of 
amf size, or shape, or dimensions — perfectly water tight, 
Ut. bnt without referriug to the residence of the artist. 
The addreta is to ''Mr. Parker, 107 ^imot ttreet, Aew 
VoK. XLVIII— Sio. S6. 



Forkf where he has a house built, 18 or 90 feet high, 
witli all its doors, pillars, and portico, ke, as though 
they were of cast iron ! He is about to erect a row of 
like edifices, at South Hempstead, L. I. It is said Ihey 
will be more durable tluin **Boston granite" — but that is 
yet to be ascertained! 

It is believed that the whole of the testimony, (with 
the speeches of the counsel in the case), couceriiiog the 
wills of John Jiandolphf will be piiblislied. 

**By hiH firnt will dated in 1031 all his negroes are emanclpa- 
ted, and he deviacs fur their use two flirmn, the Bushy Forest 
and Lower Quarter rotates, which he dirt*els his executors lo 
sell, the proceeds to be applied for their benefit. The residue 
of his estate in given to Judge Leigh, lam told that the two 
farms arc valued at $100,000 and Uiat the bequest to Judge Leigh 
is of equal amount. Bishop Meade of North Carolina, aad 
Francis S. I^ey, esq. of Washington, are the executors. 

"After his return from Russia he made another will dated in 
January, Itt3s3, and the question to be tried relates to his state 
of mind at the lime of making it. The bulk of bis estate is 
given to a minor named Bryan, a son of ihe testator's niece and 
grandson of Judge Coulter, of Va. In the event ofthe death of 
Mr. Bryan, the property to go to the flrnt son of Henry St. 
George Tucker, and if he should die wiihuut isoue, to Judge 
Tucker's second son. Judge Leigh receives a legacy under 
iliis will of 6 or 7,000 dollars. The will conuins some oilier 
small bequests. 

"Both wills being properly executed, the first, It would seem, 
is void, unless some good objection exists to the last will. All 
the preHumptions of law are in favor of its validity, until tbe 
eontraiy appears, so that the lHb<tring oar in tliniwn upon those 
who set up the first will. They contend that Air. Randolph 
was insane at the time of making the last will, and a great deal 
of evidence has been ofiTered to the court to sustain this point." 
* * * * • * * 

"A great many of his letters were read to the court, some of 
them written wiih great beauiy and elegance, and when read, 
drew fonh the admiration of the auditors. One of his tetters 
was quite singular. It is wiiiien to an old man, a neighbor of 
his, requesting hini to come round and pray for him, complain- 
ing that he was under the influence of the devil, who appeared 
to him In a peculiar manner— I believe in the shape of a mulat* 
to Kirl and a bottle of Cliampaigne." 

Distinguished counsel were employed on both sides, 
who argued the cause with great abilitv. They conclud- 
ed on Saturday last, and on Monday the court admitted 
the last will, that of ISdS, to probate. It is said to be 
written with great perspicuity. No evidence waa exa- 
mined to sustain Mr. Ilandolph*s competency to make A 
will. 

A correspondent of tlic Petersburg Intclligeneer, ttatet 
that judge Leich relinquished all interest in both willi 
that he might become a competent witness in favor of 
that made in 1821, by which the slaves were emancipate 
ed— an object which Mr. R. had then greatly at hearty 
and enjoined judge Leigh to aid in consummating. 



EoTPT. The London coireipondent of the **BaItimore 
Gazette" represents the country atf reduced to the very 
extreme of wretchedness and poverty; in the cities and 
towns all commerce completely stagnated; the plague 
raging with unabated fury, and with a certainty of its con- 
tinuance for other two months. In Alexandria it has al- 
ready carried off one-third of the population; for tbe last 
month the deaths have avci-aged 500 a day, even accord- 
ing to the published bulletins, but it is believed that tli« 
real numbers greatly exceed that. The consuls have all 
deserted their post, and betaken themselves to the hilli, 
with the exception of col. Campbell, upon whom the go- 
vernment has thrown the additional task of superintend- 
ing the transmission of the Indian mails through this 
country, and whose multiplie<l duties compel him to keep 
his post in defiance of all danger. The pacha, after two 
months residence in the upper country, has returned to 
Shaubia, and will finish his quarantine here. He is re- 
presented of late as enfeebled in body ami mind, but 
without any truth I believe, although in the present state 
ofthe country, there is enough to shake the nerves of anjr

It* her po^juruy, it bim supported the treaty a« an ael of Jut- 
Lice, ai rt-quired by the naiional intere«t> 

Prom IhiM I* to be infcrri'd Utai tbe mini^iera eoiertain a pro* 
found conviction of the Jti!*t^ce| of the necesBity of the treaty, 
And far fr^tin diMroveniig in ihr* cirrum^ianceH which have anr*^ 
rounded tbe treaty with nnfavrirabltr unteced<*iiii«, [ betieve that 
nevff a more proiound convitMion cuuM he invt^ked. It la then 
under the iririuence oftblo tavoruble presumption, that I pro- 
ceed in examine tbe difTereiu objecUoii« preeented by tbf 
noble duke. 

He lia« treated the mniler Qr«t aa a que«tion of right, then m 
a qnnifviion of pi^^liiical inlef«<it, and nnally ae a question of 
commercial interest- Th^^se are, I believe, the three potlUoon 
which iirave been a»«omed by the noble duke, 

Tbe American* at all time^ have pro teat ed agafnft tbe viola- 
Uon tjf Uie Micbii* of neutral powerp. At all titnea they have op- 
p<i*ed the Mpplication of the Berlin and Milan decrera. I ■baJf 
not enter into an eiannnatinn of theae decree*— it i» tbe great 
question of the continenul b1ockade--it J« a queaUon on which 
tbe beat men have been divided In opinion. I do not mean in 
Aojenca nl»ne, but in France: ■m^ ft waj«, f asaert, a (inesition 
nf «n dnubU'ul a cbaracler, even In France, a* to rcndcf il a 
proper ■nlijcci for an arraAgentent f wne tratuodion}. 

Noiw^thriidniling the diffictiliy uf the qnetuon no arrange^ 
rii'^nl flruniarftoM^ look place. The American* abandoniHi 
their prf'trn^lon* and exphcitty acknowledged ihe validity of 
Ihe dc(*ri*e* of Berlin and Milan, ^ince ihey were led to rednce 
tlieif df'UiandA In ve«»ela ■* qtiestrated in consequftice of the 
irrrgnlar apfiFlcntion ol tbe«« ■»i»« decree*; tbey have Uie.r»- 
fore adopted Uie princ4^ife« laid down by France^ 

Tlie fiie«|ir»n tbtin redui^rd, there wn* ground for liquidation. 
Bui wf I) now the dniifer of inch liqnldntion. It appear* to me 
incorrvci to ray (bat tbe >fini ha* b^en f1i<rd on demenda of tb« 
Amirricftn*, varying unceaeliigfy and uijceaaingly augmenting. 
Here again ih«^ ndvantage remain>'d with France. The net<w 
ciaior ndnilited cmiegoriea. The French government made an 
e«iiniat«, no tiqiildatlon took plice, bul an aclual arrangeiQciit 
(tT*if*garti0rt) wJiicti had for iU ba-i* tbe Freneb documeuta 
aliine. I pre«utii«- 1 may di*pen«e wiih an eiaminailon of Uie 
ciiteeoriea, vince Itie bonorabte member Iidj not objected lu 
them, 

I proceed then In the aecond qoeation, thai of potitical inler- 
ent^ The political lniere»i of France rendered tbit arrangB- 
inent iiec49«ary« and I do not drriy rhnt ii bad it* induence o« 
Ibe conclufion of (be lieaty^ ' " i (oolJtical tnttre»t did

that Ihe treaty was ncceii*ary iti a |K>litk*nr point of view, aa 
well a* advan-iageou* in a comniercinl point or view. 

The nikfiivier Uien entered into an exantinntlon of the treaty 
for tbe ceAriifHi of Louiaiafia. and observed that the noble duke 
who had preceded him bad fallen into nn error in vaying that 
the etb article of the treaty of cenion of LooidMna enabled

bad l>een fruitful instead of barren, the fame meann which are 
now employed, with hiKConeurr*nccand approbation, to insure 
Ibe election of his favorite, would have been directed to the 
alevAtion of hiK own Mm.' 

With re#peci to the g<;niloninn who haa been Ihuti dmignated, 
I feel myself mo»t reluctantly called upon, and this appears to 
ine a At occaKiun, to eiiy a few words. The public prei<«, pri- 
vate letiers and other evidences have renchedf me, of opinions 
and preferences being aiteribed to me by his friends or partisans, 
•o aa to create, 1 think, a duty on my pan, to undeceive the 
puWio. My personal relaiions with the vice president, before 
and aince he came into i»ffice, have been ilifuie of civility and 
c«Mirte«y; bnl tliey have never for a moment affected my Judg- 
neat aa to the propriety of his election as chief magistrate. In 
no aspect of the contest, in no conceivable contingency, in no 
iaiaginable alternative, do I think it would be for the interests 
or boaor of the people of the United States to elevate him to 
Ibat oilee. Without stopping to insist upon objections to him 
ftoMi Uie eiceplionable system of party tactics which prevails 
ia hw own state, and which, in the event of his succeaa, be 
woald endeavor toNpread over the whole union; from the means 
of and the manner by which he has been so far advanced; from 
my utter inability to comprehend what his principles now are, 
in reference to great measures of national pitlicy, there Is one 
objeccion to him which, in my mind, m abMihiiely roiichioive. 
M/m i* tJU nomimited can*lidale of the ftre%iJcnt and the official 
carya, and snuihl to bv forced u|Hm the people by all the weight 
of Uie adminiftrtilion. If he were the most pure and perfect of 
all Aaierican staiesni'-n, this single objection would, in my opi- 
•km, be abitolntely deci<>ive at:iinsi him. And 1 muKt have 
been false to tfvtrry principle which has guided my public life, 
aad faithless in my devotion to civil liberty, iff could have en 
lertaiaed an opinion that under such circumstances, the vice 
preaident should be preferred to any candidate. (Throughout 
the delivery of theice sentiments Mr. Clay was repeatedly in- 
terrupted by animated biir^ts of applause and cheering.) 

These expressions have been foiced fVom me. I wished to 
bava enjoyed repose, wit honi taking any part in the presidential 
qaeaiiiMi; but opinions li.-iviiig been often eironeouiily attributed 
to m^, on that subject, I have not burn left at liberty to remain 
silent. Humble and without inltiience as my name purposes, I 
bope this i* the last and only occasion in which it may be ne 
ceesary for me publicly to sny any thing respecting the contest. 
IVbilM 1 entertain decided preferences, I do not intend to make 
Myself a partisan of any candidate. This resolution is due to 
Biy friends, to the relations in which I have stood to them, and 
to my own cliaract< r. Leaving the people free to make their 
own unbiassed choice, I shall, aa one of them, at the propei 
lime esercine my risht of snffraie in ruch manner, as under all 
circttmotances, sh.ill appear to me best calculated to secure the 
brnior, tlie interests and the liberties of my countiy. 

I rose for the piirpftse of returnini yott, Mr. President and 
featlenien, luy cordial and respectful thanks lor the sentiment 
with which you have honored me. I hope the digression in 
which I have indulged will he excui<ed; and that you will, in 
conclusion, allow me to offer to your acceptance the aenti-

MR. \VHrTTLE8EY»B SPEBCn. 
f^om the IVrUem Rtterve Chronicle. 

Tba 50th anniversary of our national independence was cele- 
brated in the village of Ai>hiahula. An oration was pronounced 
by R. W.GrlawoM.eyq. and rising of two hundred eiliaena par- 
tooll of a dinner, prepared for the occasion, with its usual con- 
eooiitaalf, wine ami ton*tM. Mr. Whitilesey, our repreaentntive 
in congress, was an invited guest. Among the regular toasu 
was Ihs following: 

**Our retpeeted g»eii—the konoraUe EliMka IFAifflesey— For 
bli UlsDia, fidelity and persevering industry for the promotion 
of oar interesta. he deserves, a« he now receives, our warmest 
thanks— our most cordial approbation." 

To which Mr. Whitilesey replied in a neat and appropriate 
address, which appeari in the Sentinel; from which, not having 
room for the whole this we«-k, we make the following extract: 

**Mr. W. said, lie would notice one iiicideiit. tlmt micht not 
be generally known, and which, lo ht/i mind, added much to the 
interest each telt in celebrating thi* day, in this country. He 
referred to the laei that this national anniversary was first ce- 
lebrated on the Reserve, in what is now known as the county 
of AsbUbaia. This was as early as 1790. It waa known to 
■only If not all tbt compaoy pMseot, tbat tbf ConjMcUeat Laad 



company aent out a auitable number of surveyora and bands t^ 
explore and survey the lands owned by that company, in lb* 
year last mentioned. This corps, as was usual at that time> 
when heavy baggage wai to be transported to the west, proceed- 
ed lo Schenectady, and having procured boats, ascended Uia 
Mohawk, and arrived ni Lake Ontario by thn mouth of Oawe* 
go. They then pushed their boats up, or sailed by the margin 
of the take; entered the Niagara river, proceeded to the portage, 
over which their boats were hauled by the Hrill^h, then in pos- 
session of both sides of the Niagara. By the treaty of peace, 
the Briti>h were to wiilidraw their troops from our territnryi 
In violation of this treaty, they held possession of the western 
pofits, and although they had renewedly engaged to surrender 
them, by Mr. Jay's treaty in 1794, they had a garrison at Oswe- 
go, when the party mentioned, arrived there in June 1796. 
Some tribute, or condiiMin was demanded, which the party un- 
der the superintendence of Moses Cleavelnnd, refused to giva 
or accede to. Notice waa accordingly given that the boats 
should not pass the tarrison. 1'lie party not being of a military 
character, resolved to pass it by stenltli; and effected their pur- 
pose in a dark nicht, without any other loss than the wrecking 
of a boat. Having entered Lake Erie, they coasted up Its aouib- 
ern shore until they im^ised the Pennsylvania line, and effected 
a landing at Conneaut on the 4th of July, and celebrated tha 
birth day of the nation. In what style, he was not able to atala. 
He could safely say, they were deprived of all the luxuries, and 
most of the neceasaries of food, which had been so bonntifuHf 
provided for the present company; that no sparkling wine ex- 
hilerated llieir spirits, and thai they were far removed hnm 
their female friends and connections, while own, meeting wllb 
us, increased the iutereat of the celebration." 

TO THE MEMORY OF JUDGE MARSHALL. 

AT BOaTON. 

On Tuesday, a meeting of the members of the Suffolk bar 
was held, at 1 o'clock, at ibe supreme court rmim, in Boston, 
to take into con«ideration by what measures they shall show 
ihcir res|)cct lo the memory of chief juMice Marshall. Jamas 
T. JIuMlin prei>ided. Hon. Daniel fVeiMter addressed the meet- 
ing for about twenty minutes, in a very eUiquent manner, apon 
the public and professional character of chief Justice Marshall, 
and concluded by offering the following resolutions, which 
were seconded by hon. Samuel Hubbard, and unanimoualy 
adopted: 

JReso/rcf/, That the members of the Suffolk bar are profound- 
ly impressed with the loss which the piofession and the coun- 
try have sustained in the death of hou. John Marshall, chief 
Justice of the supreme court of the United Stales. 

Retolveiy That we hold in the highest veneration the illus- 
trious character of the deceased, and his eminent public ser- 
vices in the interpretation of the consiiiniion and laws, by 
which he has given a stability and strength to the government 
of the union, and Identified his name with the Juriaprudeaca 
of the country. 

Re%olred^ That an address be delivered to the bar on the life 
and professional character of the deceased chief Justice; and 
that our pnifessional brethren in the slate of Maasachusslts 
and in other states adjacent Uie.reto, be, and they are hereby 
invited to attend by themaelves or their delegatea at tba deli- 
very thereof. 

Aeso/red, That the atanding committee of the Suffolk bar ba 
charged witti the duty of inviting some member of the profession 
to deliver the aaid address, to appoint the time and place, and 
make all such arranKeinents iherefor as they shall think proper. 

Aerofccd, That the president of this bar, in behalf of the oar, 
do move the circuit court of the United Siatca for the Aral cir- 
cuit, on tlie next day of its session in Boston, that these pro- 
ceedines be entered amont the minutes of that court. 

Resolceii, That these resolutions he entered on the records 
of the Suffolk bar, and published in the newspapers of the eilj 
of Boston. JAMES T. AUSTIN, 

pretident of the Suffolk bar, 

Edwakd Bij^ke, teereiary. 

From the Botton Mlaa. 

dreuU eotirf . At ■ meeting of the members of the bar of 
thh county, held yesterday in the above court, present jndgas 
Story and i>avi$, attorney general ,Au»iin moved the court that 
the resolntlnns passed the preceding day, relative to tha la- 
mented decease of chief Justice AfarsAa/i, be entered upon tba 
records of the Suffolk bar. 

Mr. Justice .Slof> said the court received iheae resolntiona 
with gieat sensibility, and took much pleasure in complying 
with the refiuest of the bar. Tliis was not the place to pro- 
nounce an eulflfium, yet it waa impossible for one who bad 
enjoyed the intercourse with chief Jnstice MarehaU that ba 
had, not to say a few words on an occasion like the present. 
A great man had indeed fallen; not a great man of onr age or 
of any age, but of all ages and all countries: a man wboso 
character would for ever shed lustre on the American name. 
His exalted genius, his consistency of character, hie patienca 
of thought and attention, his bland and gentle and courteoas 
manner formed a combination of qualities as rare aa they wsta 
•iriking. The beat tribute that could be paid to him was, tbat 
there waa not one of his associates in his Judicial dntiea, who 
had not repeatedly declared, that the late chief Justice rasa 
higher in his estimation in proportion as he became better ae- 
qnainted with blm. Witb moat graat men it waa tba revana^ 
they lookad beat at a dlatuice*

eour«e of the nril quarter of a century the hankn ofthi* bayj 
Uiroufbout ii« wlmle length, mui*t be lined witli village* and 
cilies, embodying a va«t amount of populntion and wealth. 
Now when it u rnnenibered that thi« roiicentraiion of bu«i- 
neaa and capital will take place n* the «-nVct of the ciiii-rprice 
•lid the public npirit of Ohio, in it uiirfannnable that she *iiould 
aak congreMfl to confirm her title to the bay? Under «*iii>ting 
circumatance* it cauuot be expected that »he will feel much in- 
tereat In the »peedy completion of lhe»e canaU; and thu« thi; 
Iniereata of the whole country, but particularly of ludiana, are 
■CffkHialy affected. 

**Thtt lakew, It i> well known, mnit form Ihe rhannela of 
commerce of the atatea lying aouth of them, and tin' baya and 
luirbora on tlie lake* are the poinlc of depovite and irnnnliip- 
■WBt of thia commerce. That eiich f tate should, if practirnhle,

**Coogreaa, influenced doubtlera by conniderationt aimilar lo

Id the ordinance. Why »hould not that body, u|K»n the pame 
^inciple, give the Manmee bay to Ohio, agreeably to the priK 
viffl<Ni«of her eoniiitution? The delay of congrevM in •ettling 
llila qvealloo is unaccnnnlable, aa it i* blighting to the proape- 
rily of Ohio and Indiana. The whole aubj^ct ia witliin the 
power of congreaa. That body cannot fail to perceive the ex- 
potfieacy of dividing, aa tkr aa practicable, the Inke privilegea 
•etwcen theaeveral ataiea formed and to be formed in the north 
west territory, ao that our ehannela of commerce may not be 
oWtrarted by aute linca. Certainly thia argument cannot be 
disregarded by the frienda of internal improvemant— by thotve 
who look to thoae great eliannela of commercial intercourne aa 
«ke elrongeat bonda which can operate to atreiigthen and perpe- 
taaie oar happy union." 



ANOTHER BORDER FEUD. 
J>Vom Ue Nem Hamjnkire Stateimant Julv 18. 
We have recently received a coinmunii-alinn from a highly 
reepeetable and intelligent centleman, residing at Siewarui- 
town, the subniance of which may not be uninterenting to the 
people of thia atate. It ahould be underiilood that Indian 
BtrMua haa always been connidered, and in fact haa been, with- 
la tha Jartadiction of New Hampahire. The inliabiianU have 
keen numbered with our population, and the reaident ofRcera 
have acted under authority of this government. The Britiah 
claiM to have purchaied the Jurindiction, however, or to have 
obtained It through the late negotiatlona on the auhject of the 
Donh east boundary, and the territory ia now similarly rituated 
lo that of Madawarka, in Maine. Their aettlemeni waa, on 
petition of ita Inhabitunia, claaaed with aome one or more of the 
towna In this atate, Am- the choice of a repref entative to our le- 
f ialatnre, at the latt $tuion. The following ia au extract of the 
eoaimanicallon reftned to, dated 

** Saturday, July 4tk. 
"On Sunday laat, Mr. Luther Parker, of Indian Btream, by 
•asaaMd authority fniro the province of Lower Canada, waa ar- 
rested on a charge of having furninhed a neighbor of hia, Mr. 
Bampaon Thuraton, with weapona of defence, with an intent 
to reaiat the laws of Indian Stream, since which, for that of 
Huiee, lie haa been lodged in Sherbrooke Jail, to await hia trial 
la October next. 

"For the further Information of the piilillc, it may not be Im- 
proper to add, that Ihe inhabiunta of Indian Stream, with the 
•xceptlon of Mr. Parker, and a few oihem, have zealously con- 
tended for lawa of their own make, and by which they attempt- 
ed to arrest the body of Mr. Thurston, who, with no leaa xeal, 
contended that that place waa within the )nrif>diction of the 
Mala of New Ilamp>liirr; but he beini wull armed, defeated 
llieir deaicn. After thia repulse, application was made to a ma- 
fllatrate of the province of Lower Canada, for aMistance, who 
Issaed a warrant atainat Mr. Parker, aa before ttated, and one 
agalast Mr. Thuraton, but he has not been arreated. in conse- 
qaenee of hia leaving the place. l*he person who acted aa she- 
niriB the affair, and also thoae who assisted him, reside at In- 
dian Stream, and are in open rebellion to the laws of New 
Haapshlre. How long shall aff'aira thus remain?" 



Itesolced unaHimously, That the thanks of thia conventloa ate 
due, and uie lieii.by ruHpeciiiilly and atfuctionately tendered to 
the iKiniinible Natiiamll Macon, their venerable president, 
h»r thi: di.<-tiiiitui>lied .iliiiiiy, diuiiiiy and impartiality, with which 
he lius dMciiiirQttd the duiiei>o'l Ins suiioii. 

The iesi>luiioii being read, Mr. Car»on, of Burke, Inatantif 
ro«e and expressed a hope, that this uiaik ol well deserved ra- 
apect to thf ir venerable Iriend, lor probably llie laat public act 
oi liiH lile, would be testitied by the inemberM ol the convention 
aiNndinst. Tlie word whs no sooner spoken, than every man in 
the conveniioii was on hia feet. 

The preoident who had resumed hia chair, addressed the 
members of the convention uk IoIIows: 

"Gentlemen: The menu which you have ascribed to me ia 
the perlormance of my duty in the chair, belong to you. I have 
been for a loug lime engaged in public buainesa,and, though no 
one will charge me with being a flatterer, I must say that 1 have 
never witnessed so much good order and decorum of conduct 
in any public body with which I have been connected. When 
1 entered upon the important duties to which the convention In 
ilieir kindness called me, I was fearful that I should not have 
been able ti» discharge them with any satisfaction to myself or 
to tlie ciinrention, nor should I without your attentive aid and 
aasiataiicc. To you, iheretore, my tlianka are due for all jroar 
kindness. 

"This, I expect, will be the last scene of my public life. We 
are about to aeparate; and it ia my fervent prayer that yon may 
each of you reach home in safety, and have a happy meeting 
with your families and friends, and that your days may be long, 
honorable and happy. 

** While my life is spared, if any of yon should pasa through 
the county in which 1 live, I ahall be glad to see you.** 

On the pre»ident*s resuming hia scat, and the applauses of 
the convention having ceoaed, 

Mr. Carson, ni Hurke, rose and aaid that the concluding re- 
mark of the venorable president had called him up to say, "that 
he was at»out to leave old North Carolina, lo reside in the far 
west, where he should be happy al all timea to aee any friend 
from the old state— to be a North Cantlinian would be a s«fllel> 
ent recommendation to his houne and corn crib, which sboiihl 
be at the service of his fiiends.** 

Judge Caston, from Uie committee of enrolment, repotted Ilia 
amendments to the constitution, correctly enrolird on parch- 
ment, which received ti.e signatures of the preaident, principal 
secretary and assistant secretary. 

The preiiident then inlnrmed the convention that Ihe bnsi- 
ness of the convention wns finished. On motion of Judge Gas- 
ton, the convention adjourned tine die. 



CLOSINO SCENE IN THE N. CAROLINA CONVENTION. 
The closing scene in the convention wa« Imprei^sive. Judge 
Oaaleii moved a vote of thsnka to the president, Mr. Afoeon, in 
. tha following terms: 

Gov. Swahi being temporarily In the chair, 
Jadga Goton said, that before the convention performed the 

) the resolntion that 
I about to offer to 
I shall meet with 
parfoet ananianity. However we may have been divided on 
Other eah|cels, in retaming our aeknowledgmenta to onr vener- 
aMa president, for the able snnnner In which he has presided 
over this body, there will be no diflWrence of opinion. The fol- 
iMHag tasolailoa was then readt

The constitution as amended contains the following <

cording lo their federal populntion, that ix, according to their

Oil Lhiaawhiect it i* impo*4ibk for me in ftd¥i}nc« any tliinj{ 
new. Il waa cxhauiied liy Mr. Mudiion. in tbe debate uf 1780, 
fa itMt liouM ofrepreaentativei. I am confident the senate will 
Indulge me wbll#t I read two eiiracia ffom Hi« «p«nche< on 
thai occaaton, delivered on tbe 16th and ITtti June, 1789. 7'he 
Aral w«4 delivered vn tfie 16th June^ 1769^ and iJ aa lollowa: 
**By a Htrkl eiamtnation of tbe conoiituimn, on wbat ap- 
peftra to be itc true pr ificiple#r and coiii»idering ttie great de- 
purimenU of Uie government in tbe relaiioii they liave lo eaeli 
iMiierf I have niy doul«|$ whether we are not absolutely lied 
down lo the conjiifiictton contnined in the bill. In the fimt 
ae^tion of the III ft article, it i» said diat all legiylaitve power* : 
bereiii grant«id »hal]i be ve*ied in a conjfrfM of ilm United 
0tate«. to tbe ftcci>nd ariicle^ it ia affi^rmed tlint the executive 
power aball he veHied m a prealdenl of the United Staien of 
Aaicrtea. In ihe thrrd article^ it ii declared Itml the JudiciMl 
pomrer of tbe IJniicd J!!tate« aliall be vested in nue ftipreme 
court; and in aucti itiferiijr courts oa coDgte«a may, from time 
la tJine, ordain and ejitublish. 

**l tuftynHv it will be readily admkied, that to fir a« Ibe eon- 
aiitutHin Itcu ^epsirnJed tbe powrrM of the^e great depurtmeiit«, 
it would Iw icnjifoper to combine them lof etber; and n> far tu 
ilHut left any paTtn-ulAr department in tbe entire poMeasion

not lo qualify them furth<^r than tliey are qtinhhi^d tiy the eun* 
aUtuilofi, The leKt^lalive {Hiwera are vested iin coiigreaa, and 
•r« lo be exerciiied by ibcm unc«>niroled by any other de|i«rt- 
fl>«Dlt«icept the confititution hat qiiahlied it otberwiiie. The 
oonaututinn ban qualified the lef i^lifilivc power, by aiithfirising 
lb« preaident to uliject to any act it may paiia, requiringf in ihia 
e*>«t two third* of both homes to concur in niakiof a law; but 
alili tbe absolute liKiHl^aiive power it vetted in tbe congrcu 
with thLi qiiialiAration alone. 

'"Tbe conititution afftrinv, tluil the executive fMwer tltall be 
trvaled in the prevideni. Are tJiere eiceptiojia to tbii propmi- 
liofu! Vei, there are. The eonatitotjon sayi,, that in appoint-

**Tbe doctrine, however ^ which leomfl to stand nioat id op 
poaiilooi lo tb« principles I contend for, is, that the power tu 
—Xl ftn •ppoinUnent. r at ree that if nothing more was fiaid 
Is ilM eomtiliitiofi llinn thai the pFe«ideot, by and with the ad- 
Vleft a«d eonaent of tbe aenaie, should arppoint to olfliee, there 
would b« great force in N^nying that the power of removal re- 
tallwl by m natural implication from the pr>wer of appointing. 
Bm tbere Ja another part of the cunstituitont not lens explicit 
limn the one on whicii tba gcnilein^n^s doctrine ia founded; it 
U th«t pan which declare* that the executive power ahatl be

**Tb« aasociation of liic •cnatc with the president in exercli-

nut sxeeplionB to general rules, [ conceive, are ever to be titken

iBciioea, in my judjiment, m fnvor tbe on^iruciioii 1 put upon 
Is; tbe procideni i* required to take c^re thai tiie law* be fajth-

be required at tba band* of the aiecutive magiitrate, it would

tbe otfiicer, vvijun utice Appuiiiit:d, js nut to depend upon tlit 
prevideiit lor ht* ultiirial exitfienee, but upon a distinct body, 
(fur where ibete are two ni^^giitive* rei^uired, either can prevent 
tbe removal), I confess [ do nuisee bow the pre*ii]enl can lake 
care tliat the l«W4 be fojllifully i xecuied. It ir tine, by a eir- 
coiiou* operation, he ru«ty ubtuin an iiiifHrid^iii'iit, and even

bring my<ielf to ioui^ine the wisdom of tlte cnnveuiiou wllO 
frauii d the constiiuiion <:onl«'mplQted *uch incongruity.'* 

Hut, «ir, if donbtib eouM nn»e on tbe Imx^ua.^*: of tho contU^ 
tuiifin itself, then it would become projier. for the purpose of 
ascertaining tbe true lueanint of ihe instrument, tu report (o 
•rguiueiits ab iiuonttenicnti, Tbe frninerd of the cooalilutlon 
never intruded it lo mean what would be abdurd, or what would 
defeat the vvty pnrpo«es which il was intended to acvompiivli. 
I think I can prove that lo deprive tbe presideiiWof the power 
of removal wuOld be fatal to the bi-st interesl* of the country. 

And fir«t, the senate cannot atwaya be in Pe«.4iuii, | ibank 
heaven fur that. We must aaparaie and attend in our ordinary 
busincM. It i« ncce^iaary for a Uealtby polnuHi conatitutmn

meniSr and thk consequence in inevitable. 

A foreign minl^ier in a remote part of the world ti pursuing a 
courwe, diingf rou» to tbe bei>t interedK, and ruinous to the clia- 
racier of the country. He U disgracing us abroad, and endan-

Bui again, there are gr« at nnutberfl of dubur«tnt; ofhcers acat- 
If^ccd over tbe union. In form a lion i« rrcelved dtiriou tbe rece«a 
of ilie aenate, that troie of them in Arbnnsas or at ihe Rocky 
Mountains, ha* h<;cn guiiiy of peculntkiii, and i» wasiing the 
public money. Mu«t the prexidcnt fold bis arnir>, and suffer 
liim lo proceed in bi» fraudulent course, until the next meeting 
of the *en«te? The truth in, ihal the jirrcident canout execute 
the Inws of ibe union, wUhuut this power r»f rrmnvrtl. 

But case* still^ hironger may be pre*ei)ti:d> The hends of de- 
partment* arc tbii confidential adviser* of ihe pre»»dcnt. H ia 
chiefly lhroiij(h tlieir agency that he tnn^t t,-ondu<.l Ihc great 
operatuma of governineiit. Without tt dif»-ct cnntrol over llicnij

paialyaed; and, in ^uch a case, muHt he patiently submit to all 
Iheae evil* until tho senate cuu be convened? In time of war, 
the country might be ruined by a corrupt secretary of waf} he- 
fore the aeDaie could he asKtmbted. 

It ia not ray intentkm on ttii* occasion to discots the question 
of the rcmovnl of the dep^i.oites from ihe bank of ibo United 
Stales. I merely wt*h to prenent it a* a forcible il I u«t ration of 
my arBumeiit. Suppoife the late aecrelary of the treaKury had 
determined to remove the deposltea. and the president h.nd b«-

WlLLIAX COBBETT, the editor of the "UEOlBTKn," 

and one of the most celehiuUMl puliticHl writers of the 
age, (lied ut hit farm in Snrry, Eng. on the 18th of June. 

Abolition of slavery. An »cuonnt of a meeting of 
•ertmin sOtithcrn gentlemen in New York, to take into 
eonsiileration the conduct of the aholitionists, will be 
found in ft subsequent pMge. The resolulions ftdopted 
are temperate and couciliHlory, and assume the pro|>er 
Ip'ound— reliance upon the guaranties of the constitution 
anfl the intelligence and patriotism of the north. These 
will eventually stifle the efforts of the fanatics; but not 
until an awful retribution has fallen upon their heads 
and the mi^^uided people wliose welfare tliey aflTcct to 
be desirous of promoting. 

One of the largest meetings ever hehl in Richmond, 
Va. was held in the capitol in that city on the 24ih ult. 
on this absorbing topic. A series of resolutions were 
Mibmitted by Mr. Robert T. Wicker, hut afterwards 
withdrawn — and the whole subject referred to a commit- 
ter of thirteen, who are to report to an adjourned meet- 
ing to be lu:ld on the 4th inst. what measures sliould be 
adopted. 

VlCKSBURO OUTRAGE. Wc publibh this wcck what' 
may he considered an **official" account of tite hanging 
of five ^mblers at Vick&burg, Miss, which we brieflly 
noticeil in our last. Notwithstanding its sfiecious charac- 
ter, it cannot reconcile any reflecting man to the conse- 
Sinencenof such a summary procedure, which is disgmce- 
ul to all the parlies concei*ned. The barbarism of the 
punishment is not less heinous in our eyes, than the reck- 



na, on the 12th of July. They refused to work, armed 
themselves and killed several whites. In quelling them, 
sixteen wei-u wounded. About Uiirty were sentenced to 
be shot. 

Inhirrecttox in Mississippi. Madison county, Mis- i 
sissippi, has been the scene of some violent proceedings I 
caused by a rumor that the slave population, headed nj y 
some whites, intende<l to raise en masse and murder the 
white population, rob the bank, ^c. The following letter 
from Carson Grove, in the immediate vicinity of the in- 
surrectionary movements, contains all imi>ortaiit particu- 
lars, and shows a great de^p*ee of alarm and excitement. 
The whole country, it is haul, is in arms and assembled at 
difierent points to protect the women and children. 
From the Nathrille Rejutblican. 

LBTTKR TO A GEMTLEM A.N IN TIIIM CITY. 

<*<.'uraon, Grovt July 9IA, 1835. 
Dear air: I i>il down to t>vp you, m ai« tiriefa manner as pos- 
Hible, an acconnl of the owi'ul coiulition of our country. An 
intended ini-urreciion of the HhiveH, a»#i»>ted by many white 
men, hao brcn diochiKed by a n^gro. It wa* lo have comniiHie- 
ed on tiiK 4th orjHly,and wa« not dittclo't-d nil the nfyht of the 
dd. I wiMil up lo Livhici>1on. On thp third and (ourih tlie rx- 
ciifnirnt txci-Kdftd any ihniK I pv»:r »aw. 1 joined a company, 
and a»^il•tt-d in tnkiiig ii<-vernl white mm and ntfroei*. A steam 
d'K'lor, by ihn naniK ot Citlton, waM commander in Cliief. We 
lo<ik hiin, and dchvered him at I^iviiikfIoii on the ni|[hl of tto 
2i\. We al5o took a doctor Saundt* rn, formerly of Sumner 
county, Tennecoee, and one other. Saunder* waii a sieainer. 
A rourl of twi>lve men were B|ipoiiited to examine and pro- 
iiounee «enii'iice. Cotton and t^aundtrrd and th«* third person, 
whor*f nam*: 1 foreet, wntf hone on the 4ih, and 9 neKroes at 
the i«ame lime. We have tak»'n 17 la* n, wIiimp nami-s CntlOn 
l»v« up under the aalhiwii. Thry arc iryini; fh«ni at Ltving- 



less disregard of the laws. For, surely, if ihey couM not ! mon. One wai. hunK ypnti-rd.iy at Dr. Dean V, (a steamer'), 
restrain the acts whith preceded the bloody tngedy, they j (.'oiinn maipil that ilu ii wire a number of i-i»-am doctors con- 



could have properly punished the death of Dr. tiodUy 
•nd thus have prevented the obloquy w hieh must rest on 
tliai coinniuiiity. Of all the harpies which prev upon 
the public, the professed gambler is the most oAenhive 
in our eyes — for he is a moral upas that blasts and 
withers all witli whom he comes in contact. Dut we 
would not exterminate him at such a fearful sacrifice as 
the people of Vicksburg have made on the shrine of pas- 
sion. There is neither mercy nor justice in the derUiont 
of a nK>b, and when mob-law is tolerated, statute and 
ido^bI /aw will become a deail letter. 

Texaii. The colonists of Texas arc not ilisposed to 
submit quietly to the military despotism of Santa Anna, 
but are arming themselves for resistanco. On the 21st 
of June a proclamation was issued to the people of Tex- 
as, by J. B. Miller, chieftain of the department of Bra- 
zos, calling upon them to organize and arm for the pui- 
pose of roarctiing to the relief of their governor (Augus- 
tin VicHca), wlm had been arrested by the militai-y [par- 
tisans of S.uita .\niia*,, ami thrown into a dungeon. The 
plaec of rendezvous is fixed at San Felipe de Austin. 

A meeting of the citizens was held in the town of Co- 
lumbia on the 23d of June, Silas Dinsinore, in the chair, 
•t which it was i-e^olved not to adopt any measures of 
eoininittal until all ihe citizens ran be consnllefl in a ce- 
fieral meeting to take place on Sunday, 28th June, also 
recoinniemliiig to the cifiz«*n of 'I'exas, union, concert, 
and mo<lcration in the adoption of roeuMires to meet the

chased nineteen years ngo for $12,000! A part of the 
iHrm of the hein of the late gen. Porter, about seventy 
acren, 8itiMtc<l two miles below Uie city, was recentl} 
•old for $19,540. The whole tract, containing ihrt-t' 
hundred and fifty acres, was purchased within the last 
two tears for less tlian $6,000. If the spirit of speeu- 
latioii has no connection with these sales, MIchicHn inu>t 
be advancing to prosperity with rapid strides, and Detroii 
•Oon become one of the most important cities in that 
cnrtiit; tection of country. It has many natural advantages. 
vhich enterprise and capital can convert into sources oi 
great prosperity. 

We learn from Carthagena by a letter published in the 
New York Star, that **New Grenada has |mid ofTa largi^ 
|KM'tioii of her internal debt, by the sale of quicksilver, 
and will probably pay the whole with the further sale 
ol' tobacco, quicksilver and landed property belongs

Tliere was a novel and interesting feature in the ccle* 
bratiou of the fourth of July at CoRnrru, New Ham]K 
•liire. The liangor Uepublican states that **lhe pruces-- 
akm was eseoi-t^ from P. P. Pearsoirs hotel, by the 
Corinth light infantry, a fine and well disciplined com* 
pmy of young men, which had previously gallantly taken 
uniwr eseort a company of front 50 to 75 young ladies in 
(aMeful uniform of straw bonnets and white dresses, be* 
•oniingly ornamented with evergreen and blue ribbon, 
when the whole bo<ly moved to the meeting house, which 
WM filled to overflowing. After the services were con- 
duded, tlie procession re-formed, and conducted the 
ladies to a neat and tasteful arbor, where a seiiarate table 
wu apread and bountifully supplied, and lemonade pro- 
vided for eliciting the pure ancl easy flow of sentiments, 
mt may be found in connexion." 

Fanny Kemble^t Journal is reviewed by the London 
erltics, and a pretty tearing they give her. The Litera- 
ry Gazette says: 

•The work before us is deformed by graver faults than 
youthful imprudence and rsMALS impkbtixkxck can ex- 
eoae. There are a flippancy and tuloaritt about it 
which surprises us the more, coming from such a source; 
a presumption, and a lack oftheflner and higher quah' 
tin "which atlorn the finude character^ which is vexatious 
to eonteroidate in one so gifted." 

l*he Attieneum says: 

*lt turns out to be one of the most deplorable exhibi- 
tkma of vutgar thinking and vulgar exprcMUon thai it 
ever Jell te our lot to encounter," "The insane desire 
of beinr considered one who thought alone, combined 
with a love of evcr^ mischief, has, we apprehend, be- 
trayed Mrs. Butler into a book, which she herself, in a 
sh(Drt time, and which all her friends at once, will wish 
had never seen the light." 

The London Spectator says: 

*'In ^ort, she exemplifies the beau ideal of a green- 
room belle, whose head has been turned bv flattery." 

[JV. r. Star, 

There has been a great riot at JDetroit — which cora- 
meneed by collecting a number of Irishmen at a ^^groce^

nished to be quiet, they "damn'd the Yankees." They 
were, however, subdued-

PasiiraTLTAHiA canals. At the town of Portsmouth,

toUa fbr the months of April, May and June last. On 



the 18lh inst. $12,173 were rec^'ived at the collectors' of-

The annexed table exhibits the amount of canal tolls 
paid into the treasury during each month from the 1st ot

Co3rTS!rno!r with Uushia. It will be recollected that 
a convention was concluded between the U. States and 
Russia in April, 18124, i-egulaling various matters con- 
nected with the commerce and navigation of the two na- 
tions on the north west coast of America. By the fourth 
article it was stipulated that the Miip» of both nationa 
might, during a term of ten years, frequent, without 
hindrance, the intenor seas, guffs, harbors and creeks of 
each nation on that coast, for the pur])Ose of fishing and 
trading with the natives of the country. The ten yeara 
expired in April, 1834; and we umlerstand that formal 
notice has been given, by the governor of the Russian 
colonies, to the masters of die American ships then trad- 
ing there, that they could no longer claim, under the 
convention, the right of landing at all the landing places, 
without distinction, belonging to Russia on that eoasL 
Those interested in the trade will not fail to observe, 
tlmt, under the second article of convention, it is neces- 
sary for all American vessels, resorting to any point on 
that coast, where there is a Russian establii»hment, to ob- 
tain tlie permission of the governor and commander.

Something cuaiors. The other day, wliile at the 
house of general IVilHam Disharoon^ of Louisiana, we 
were shewn two whole eggs,«with the breast bone, and 
other parts of a wild duck, which were di.ieovered em- 
beded in a large cypress lo^, perfectly sound and solid. 
The eggs and hones were discovered while the log was 
being sawed up for lumber; and the ojdy rational way in 
which wc can account for this singular discovery is, that 
die tree originally had a hollow in it, in which the ''un- 
conscious" duck built her nest, and during the usual lime 
of incubation, the hole, or opening, became closed by the 
rapid growth of the tree. From the appearance of the 
tree, and the place w here the e^gs and bones were taken 
from, it must have happened 15 or 20 years ago. Wo 
^lerforated one of the shells and found it empty.

EzTHAOBni^rAUT ciBcrMRTANCK, and Providential es- 
cape from death. On Monday of last week, the hinda 
employed in the <|naiTy of Mr. Uarman Lydacker, situ- 
ntcd under the high range of mountains, below Slaugh- 
ter's I^anding, in this county, wrre alarmed by the cry of 
mni-der! proceeding from a female voice, but were total- 
ly unable to discover the source from whence it came. 
At the moment the crew of the sloop Henry Edward, 
which was passing down the river, saw something sus- 
pended at the side of the mountain resembling a female 
form. With commendable promptitude they immedi- 
ately put about, dront anchor and jumped into the small 
boat, rowed to the shore. On arriving at the foot of the 
mountain, they found it to be a young girl (aged about 
16) hanging by one foot in a cedar bush, about 100 feet 
from the base, and 60 feet from the top of the perpendW- 
cular rock. To reach her from the bottom was Imposai- 
ble, and providing themselves with a rope, they hastenetf 
around to the top from which they lowered it. The un- 
Ibrtunatc girl was yet able to fix it around her waist, and 
by this means, waa drawn from her perilous situation^

The Paris Moniteur coutainti the law for the payment of the 
American claims agreeably to the votes u( the two cbauiberK. 
Is the course of the debate on the final passage of the bill, M. 
the baron Maunier reiiuireil that the giiverniiient»>hould not lose

The Constitutionnel gives details of a conference between 
the duke de Uroglie and lord (irunville, the Uritish minister, on 
the subject ot the intervention. The question in said to have 
lieen considered under three heads, vis: tinancial, military and 
commercial. As to the Hrsi it is said to have been agreed, 
taking into consideration the embarraHsed state of the Spanish 
flnauces, that each of the parties to the quadruple treaty shall 
advance the eipenses ol iu interference— England that of arms, 
ammunition, and the troo|»s raised in that country; France oi 
the foreign legion, and Poriiig-il of the auxiliary diviHou. Uel- 

¥um also is to be invited to assist, under the guarantee of

lasulnienia. 

On the second point, lord Granville is said to have been ur 
fCOl in advi«ins ipiedy movements, and to have declared iliai 
the expedition should be ready to sail from Eiieland by the end 
ofJuly. M. de Broglie promised that the foreign legion should 
be in Spain before the time, but doubts are expressed whether 
•owe difficulties with the northern cabinets will not create delay. 

A royal ordonn.tnce of the 4th April, 18:)5, has suppressed the 

Soarautine l.iw ot observation imposed on vessels of the United

The duke of Wellington has wiiiidrawn his notice of a mo 
tkm relative lo Spaniith atfairs; and recruits for the Spanish 
ecrvice were enlisting in great numbers. The French govern- 
HCni hat also issued an ordonnanee permitting its citizens to en- 
gace iu the service of Spain without forfeiting any ol their pri-

The Spanish minister de la Rosa has resigned, and been »nc-

THE VICKSHURG TRAGEDY. 

ricktbtn^, (MUt.) Julti9lh. 

The following account of some proceedinis of the citizens of 
tbia town, which will exeite the attention of the public, was 
prepared by a wiintss of the acts detailed, and the correctness 
of the account may be ridied on: 

Our city has for some days pa»t been the theatre of the most 
novel and startling scene that we have ever witnessed. While 
we regret thai the necesiiity for such scenes should have exist- 
ed, we are prmid of the public spirit and indignation against of- 
feadera displayed by the citizens, and congratulate them on 
having at length banished.a cl<iss of individuals, whose shame- 
leaa vicea and daring oiitrnges have long poi^oned the springs of 
morality, and interrupted the relations of society. For years 
past, professional g.-imblers, destitute nf all sense of moral obli 
gatiooa — nnconnected with society by any of its ordinary lies, 
and intent only on the erailAcation nf their avarice— have made 
Vicitabnrg their place of rendezvous— and, in the very bosom of 
our oocieiy, boldly plotted their vile and l.iwless machinaiiona. 
Here, aa every where el^w, the laws of the country were found 
wbolljr ineffectual for the punishment of these individuals, and, 
emboldened by impunity, their numbers and their crimes have 
daily cmitinned to mulfiply. Every species of transgression fol- 
lowed in their train. They supported a large number of tippling 
bontea, to which they would decoy the youthful and unsuspect- 
ing, and, after siripp'ine them of their possessions, send them 
forth into the world the ready and desperate insirumenta of 
vlee. 

Oar streets every where rebounded with the echoes of their 
dranken and oh«cene mirth, and no citizen was secure from 
their villainy. Frequently In armad bodies, they have disturb- 
ad the good order of public asaemblagea, insulted oar cltiaena, 



and defied our civil autlioritiea. Thus liad they conUnacd lo 
grow bolder in their wickedness, ond more formidalile in their 
nuiiilMrrs, until Saturday, the fourth of July, insuni, when oar 
eiiuens had assembled, together with the corps of Vickabarg 
volunteers, at the barltacne, to Celebrate the day by tlie Qsual 
feffiivities. Alter dinner, and during the delivery of the toaata, 
one of the ofljeent attempted to enforce torder and ailence at the 
tHiile, when one of these gambleis, whose name is Cakler, who 
had impudently thrunt himself into the company, insulted the 
orticer, and struck oneoi the citizens. Indignation imniediate- 
iy rose high, and it was only by the interference of tlie com- 
inandaut tiiat he was snvtd from instantaneous punishment, 
lie was, however, permitted to retire, and the company dia> 
perked. 

The military corps proceeded to the public square of the city, 
and information was received that Cakler was coming up arm- 
ed, and resolved to kill one of the volunteers who had bean 
motii active in expelling him from the table. Knowing bis de»- 
pt rate character— two of the corps instantly slept forward and 
arrested him. A h>aded pistol, a large knife and a dagger were 
found on his person, all t>f which he had procured since he had 
ticparated from the company. To liberate him| would have 
been to devote several of the most respectable members of tlie 
company to his vengeance, and to proceed against him at law 
wi»uld have been mere mockery, inasmuch, as, not having tiad 
the opportunity of consummating his design, no adequate pu- 
nishment could have been indicled on him. Consequently it 
was determined to take him into the woikJs and Lynch him— 
wiiirh IS a mode of punishment provided for such as bitcome 
obnoxious in a manner whicli the law cannot reach. lie woa 
immediately carried out under a guard, attended by a crowd of 
respectable citizens — tied to a tree, punished with siripeo— tar- 
red and feathered; and ordered to leave the city in forty-ei^l 
hours, in the meantime one of his comrades, the Lucifer of 
the gang, had been endeavoring lo rally and arm his cimfedo- 
rates for the purpose of rescuing him; which however he foiled 
to nccoinplicilt. 

Having thus aggravated the whole band of these desperadoes, 
and feeling no security against their vengeance, the citizeaa 
in>-t Hi night in the court house, in a large number, and Uicre 
parsed the followinf! reMilntions: 

Iletolcrtiy That a notice be given all professional gamblers, 
that file Citizens of Vicksburn areresofred to exclude them from 
ihi<* pince and its vieinity; and that twenty four houra notice Im 
given them to U;uve the place. 

Reaolvedf That all persons permitting fhro dealing in their 
hou!«es, be aUo notified that they will be (irosecuted therefor. 

Aeto/re<i, That one hundred copies of the foregoing reaolu- 
rii'ii:* be primed and itock up at the corners of Uie alreeta— and 
that the* puhhcaiiim tie deemed notice. 

On Sunday morning, one of these notices was posted at the 
cornets of each square of the city. During that day (the5lli 
iiifttaiit) a ninjoriiy of the gang, terrified by the threats of tlie 
citizens, dixperrcd in different directions, without making any 
oppo(iiii<m. it was sincerely hoped that the remainder would 
follow their example, and thus prevent a bloody termination of 
the strife which had commenced. On the morning of the 6th, 
the military corps, foll«»wed by a file of several hundred citi- 
zen!', marched to each suspected house, and, sending in an ex- 
amining committee, dragged out every faro table and otlier gam- 
bling apparatus that could be found. At length they approach- 
ed a house which was occupied by one of the most proflicate of 
the cang, who!.e name was North, and in which it was under- 
stood that a garrinon of armed men had been stationed. All 
hoped that these wretches would lie intimidated by the superior 
numbers of their assailants, and surrender themselves at discre- 
tion, rather than attempt a desperate defence. The house being 
surrounded, the back door was liurst open, when four or Ave 
•hots were fired from the interior, one of which instantly killed 
Dr. Hush S. Dodley, a citizen universally beloved and respect- 
ed. The interior was so dark that the villains could not be 
seen; but several of the citizens, guided by the flash of their 
guns, returned their fire. A yell from one of the parly announc- 
ed that one of these shots had been eflcctual; and by this time 
a crowd of citizens, their indignation overcoming all other feel- 
iniiB, burst open every door of the building, and dragged into tlie 
light those who had not been wounded. 

North, the ringleader, who had contrived this desperate plot, 
could not be found in the building, but was apprehended by 
a citizen, while attempting, in company with another, to make 
his escape, at a place not far distant. Himself, with the real 
of the prisoners, were then conducted in silence to the oeaf- 
fold. One of them, not having been in the building before K 
was attacked, nor appearing to be concerned with the rest, ex- 
cept Uiat he was the brother of one of them, was liberated. 
The remaining number of five, among whom woa the indivl 
dual wlK) had been shot, but who still lived, were immediately 
executed in presence of the assembled multitude. All sym- 
pathy for the wretches was completely merged in detesiatioa 
and horror of their crime. The whole procession then return- 
ed in the city, collected all the faro tables into a pile and burnt 
them. This being done, a troop of horsemen set out for a 
neighboring house to the residence of fiord, the individual who 
had attempted to organize a force on the day of this distnrb- 
anre, for the rescue of Cabler. and had since threatened to 
fire the city. He had, however, made his escape on tiiat 
day, and the next morning crossed ihe B\f.^V%fcV>jx"^^^'*\'«?%

Thi* pari of the bill, therefore, fir, i* a subject for fair com- 
|iaiis<m. We have L'.nned someHnns, donbilepi, by limiliiiff the 
cttmniiisioiis of tliebe ofRcers to four yeHr<i. lint have we gain- 
ed as much as we have lo-«i? And may not Hie good be pre 
nerved, and Ihe evil siill avonlerl? Is it iiot enough to say, that 
if, at Ihe end of four year-i, moneys are retained, accounts nn- 
•Titled, or other duties iinperfoimed, the office shall be held to 
Im' vacated. wiHif)iii any p<>siiive act of removal.' 

For one, I think the btii.inee of ndvantagft is decidedly in fh- 
vnr of the present bill. I think It will make men morv depend 
mt on their own good cnednci, and less dependent on Ihe will 
Af otiiers. I helieve it will cau«e them lo regard their eoiintry 
nmre, their own duty more, and the favnr of Individuals less. 
] think il will cnntribuie hi offieial resperiahilUy, to fVeedom of 
opinion, lo independence of character; and I Ihink It will tend, 
in no amall degree, lo prevent the mixture of selfish and per- 
vonal moiivea wiih the exercise ofhlgh pnlltfoal dtitiPii. It rs\\\ 
promote true and genuine republicanism, by can«inc Ihe opi 
Hloirof tlie perf^ile, refipcciinc (he men^ures of government and 
lii« men In governim iit, to be formed and expressed witbonl 
fearer favor, and with a more entiie reeard to Un-ir true ntid 
feal merits or demerit*. Il will be, so far as its elTecis reseh, 
an avxiliary to patrioiMm and pnblic virtue, in their warfare 
again«t 8elfi«hness and cnpiilily. 

The pecohd check on executive patronnse, contnln*'d in this 
Wit, is nf still ereatcr importance than the firii. TIH' provision 
i*t «hat, when.V'-r Hie pre^iJent remove* any of these officers 
frmn office, he shall state to the senate the reasons for such re- 
moval, 



in Kiixland, or as known in France, or as known in Bussia? 
Did Uiey take it h« defined bv .Montesquieu, by nurlamaqni, or 
by ()•- Lolme? AM these differ from one another as to Hie ex- 
tent of the executive power of government. What, then, waa 
I'nteiided by "the cxeeiitive power?" Now, sir, I think it per- 
tecHy plain and manifesi, ihai.alHiongh the framers of the con- 
stiiuiion meant lo confer executive |Miwer on Ihe president, yet 
they meant tit drrtne and limit that power, ami to confer no 
more than they did ihns define and limii. When they my it 
shall he vested in a president, they meani that one inaeivlrale.tO 
Im calhd a piv^ident. Khali hold Hie executive authority; bni 
they mean, further, thai he should hold ibis auihority accord- 
ing to the tranlH and litniiaiions nf the constitution ilM'lf. 

They did not intend, cenainly, a sweepirif aifl nf prerogative. 
They did not intend lo xranl to the preiident, whaievr might 
be conslined. or suptMined, or imaclned to be executive power; 
and the proof Ihat Ihey meant nn such ihinc, l», Ihat, immedi- 
ately al^er iisinx these t''neral words. Ihey procei-d. speclflcaliy, 
to enumerate hiH several distinct and particular aiithorllies, to 
fix and define them, lo give the senate an essential conirid over 
the exercise of some nf them, and lo le.ive others tincontroled. 
Ry Ihe execuilvn power conferred nn the president, the conMi- 
tuiion means no more than that portion which itself createff, 
and which It qualifies, limits and circumscribes. 

A scneral survey of the f^ame of the constitution will tatiafy 
us of Hits. That insiriiment goes all along upon the idea of di- 
viding the powers of government, so far as practicable, into 
three crent departments, it deiirribrs the powers and dutiea 
of these departments in an article alloitrd to each. As first in 
imp«utan^e and dignity, it begins with Ihe legislative depart- 
ment. The firPi article of the cnnstilntion, therefore, com- 
mences with the declaration that*<all legi^tlative power herein 
L'ranted i-hall he ve«led in a congress nf Ihe (Tnited Rialea, 
which shall consist of a senate and house of representatlvea.'* 
The article goes on lo prescribe the manner in which congren 
is to be eon-tifnied and offwnixed, anil then froceeit to evmine* 



Thi« part of the hill ha* been opposed, both on constitutional j rate^tpecifirnUy. the po>rers intenttetl to he grnnteit; and adds the

to deny, and the bill dm- no? deny, that, nl Ihe prr«nnt mo- I such as are granted hy express word* or necessary implleatjon^

Hut, aif , whether the deciaion of i7S9 waa right or «vr«ng, Uia

rec'iKniJic* tlic prc*ideni*« power nf rcrooval, in eiprea* term*, 
aiilha* been praciically t.-xercited, independi<fitiy of the aw-

not to be undt?r,ttood that ihe power in, even now, beyond lh« 
rcacli fif lepiilatioii. I believe it to be within Ihe juat power 
ofconereiifl to reverae Ihe il«ei«ion of 1769, and I mean in bold 
myaetf at liheny to a«lt berea/lerjUpon that que»ti(ui, aa 1 alwll

In my opinion, thiu provision it eotiiety conalttulionaJ, ui(t

mbject upon the proiind ;<talejl by U\o nilvoonfeH nf iliis bill, 
which i:*, that the ooininissions of all, or nt>arly all, eipiie ai 
Jie se«i«ioii of consri^ss immediaieiy precediiis Hie pn-ridentlal 
flection. TI>'..-> peiiud, of all oiher«, is, in my jnilcnu-nl, llio 
iiiM't iinfxvorahli* to the influence and popiilariiy f)f the chief 
masiMratK ilo-n in office. The iritluence of ilio-e who posses 
Iho appoinliiiz iiower \* grealeht wliile many are coinpeiinit lor

men who wtiuld rojoioe at any di«a«tt:r which might befal hia 
admifii>lraiion; men who would inirodiice discord and disinie-

manner, and il we wi>h to pi'rpetuate the principles of republic 
can govirniiif III, we rtlioiild avoid the introduction of a practice 
which woiitii shake the very pillar') of our Ine iii£>titutions. 

(*eiitli-inen j>Hy that a i-enfe of propriety and delicacy would

have been disappointed, w-ili feel that their Just claims have 
been overlooked, and they may heeoim* hiMHite to the chief 
inaKi!>trate, who has not property np|ireciaird iheir nieiiis. It 
llaerefore peenis to nie, that a more tciiitahle period than Ihe 
session of coinsress preceding a presidential rh-rtion, cniiid not 
be flx^d on to weaken thit eie<-uiive (Miwer and influence. 1 
IherePireroneludi'.ihai ilieenafiment of the first ffeclion of this 
bill will greatly inereatie eveeuiive (Niwer and putronnge, and 
not diminish it in ihe slighieci degrt-e. 

Ifgentleinen wi:>h to reduce executive pntronne<*- 1 will unite 
Willi ilipui most heartily, if they will xlrike at the root of the 
evil. If ihey will begin by diminishing the numher of unne- 
cessary offlri*'', and oppoiiins ihe creation of others not de 
manded by the puhlie interest, thi»n something efTedual can he 
«|nne. The evil is in the legislation of congre's, not in the 
•lecuiive branch of ihn government. The remedy must he 
applied by the leei"latiire to it<i own proceedings, not in at- 
Irmplint to encroach upon the rights of auiither depaitinent of 
the government. 

The 2*1 section of the bill roquirrs no commfnt. It only car- 
rtrs out In detail lUo provisions of the first. I j*liall, therefore, 
fimeeed to nn enaminaftoirof the 'M tertion. The provisions of 
this srel ion I coi^uler not only in«'vpedient but uncnn^iiiii- 
llnnal; and senator*, on all sides, will eiru-«e any unusual «enl 
I niav manile*t on ihis sul»|i'et; because, | verily believe, if 



lime with ihe cccti'laries and the senate, every feeling of 
di licac^ wnuhl ht: no rped in the con»idt!ralion of higher and 
paraniouni duiies. The qiie'lion nrihinp upon this section of 
the lull i.4 ceriainlv one nf gnat delicacy, as it relates in thia 
btidy. It is an effi>it, on our pail, to participate in the power 
of removal from otHcc, and to chtck the pretiideni in Ihe use 
of that power whn h ban been rxerci<<ed by every cliittf magia- 
trale, from ilie formation of the govt rninent down lo the pre- 
sent day. Whatever portion of power ibis bill deprives the 
president of, is acquired by this body. When, Ihen, it is re- 
membered, thai we daily hear charges made nt>ain^t tlis execu- 
tive, of u^ulpillg authoritv and power not delegated to him by 
lh« con^iiiutinii, we ^hould he careful not to incur the imputa* 
linn of regarding Ihe mote that is in our brother^ ey«, raliier 
than the beam that is in our own. If, under the constitution, 
ihifl bodv dni-n not potse«M the right lo participate in rcmovahi 
from offh e, this bill is nn nit of n«urpaiion on our part— a 
gia^^pinc at power not delegated to the senate by the constitu- 
tion. I will now ntlempt to show ihat Ihis body possesses no 
Huch power, i n«k gentlemen lo lell me in what part of the 
coiistiiution they And the power? According to my rending of 
that insiiiiment il is no where lo be found, either espressly or 
by implication. 

The (-on«liiution provides three sepnrntK, distinct and inrfew 
pendent d»-|»arlnients of government— legislative, executive 



this bill goes lu*o praciieni efTeet. it will stop the operations of and Judh iai; and by Hils division of power, ihe wisput law- 



thit govsrnmeni— and destroy all Ihose check* designed by Ihe 
ennstitniion to be ifnpo^ed upon lh<* different department*. To 
prsvenl all niisunder«tanding u|>on this subject, I will lead tiic 
9d aertinn; 

**Jln4 he il further enr/rfrrf. That in nil nominations made by 
Hie pre«idrnt to the si'iiaf. to till vacancies or rationed by re- 
moval from office, the facts of the removal shall h^ staled lo 
the senate, at lUo same time that the nomination is made, with 
a stair ment of the reason* for such removal." 

Let it bi» reeolleried.ihat this section has no nercessnry con- 
nection with those which precede it. It is not ri>liicted to flic 
olBcers enumerated or in'Mitiiuied in ilie 9d "enlon. Il em 
braces. In plain and express tangnage, evi-rv officer t)f the go 
v«mnn«*nt, from Ihe «ecr»tarv of «t;ite ini<lu!<ive, down to the 
lowest officer who holds a com mis* ion from lh»> preMjdiutof 
the United States. When anv of ihein are reinnved, ifm rea 
pons for the rcmovnl arp lo he assigned to thi«« hi>dy. AVhy is 
Ihis to he done? Ofuileineu. at lea-t moiih of them, on the

givers and siatesnn-n havesupptised the hot recurily ft)r liberty 
was si^ciired; and il is only by proieciing each depaitmenl 
from the encroachments of the others. Mint the Hdvanlagps nrlS' 
ing f'rmn this tiep^trathm of powers can hi* pre.erved. Wherever 
the -nine man or body of uiHgistracy, however nnmeroiis, make 
the laws, decide upon, and exHCUie them, iheie is despolism. 
and ivrannv. hv whatever name ili«* government may be rail-

ferent bodri>s of men, each acting within the llmils prnscribeit 
lo it by the coustiiuiion, thai we can calculaiv with any degree 
of CI iiainly upmi thi- perpetuation of the blch^ings of fr^e go- 
veinmi lit. Therefore, ihe joint action of lli»! different deparl- 
mciiL<«of this goveinmi nt i-hould never take plaei , onTess in 
cases directed hy the coustituiifm. The^e are clearly pnhiled 
nut in that in-tiiimeiit. In the ena'-tment of laws, the house 
of represciiiaiives, the senate and Ihe president, mM*l all con- 
cur, unless ho refuses his a<'seni. and two-thirds nf each hnnse 
shall pass Ihe hill, notwiih:>laudin'i his olijcctions. In making 
treaties and appointing to orllec, the hou-i» uf ri-presf ntatlvea 
has no agency. Tiiese suli|e«:ts an- confided exclusively to tlte 
proiilcni and sinate. To this extent, and no fuiiher, has the 
coiioiiiuijon auihoii>ed ilu> previdcni and senate lo act jointly, 
and ilie conclusion 1 would draw is. that so soon as that Joint 
iliitv a-'-igned to ilii>in hy the constiiuiiiui is perfi>rmed, ench 
of them i-i, in all oMht re-pecN, to perform its sepurnle func-

The question of the bank waa at all liiue* liiifvted, never ae-

A* ut the tarilT, «|Hiken of an impofed by Ihe congreM of 1780, 
no argument can be drawn frmu it lo Jui>tiry the wnff fn>m 
which Ihe country m now gaining gradual relief. The larifr of 
I7h9 did not exceed, nor even equal, the nece«*iiie8 of Ibo 
country. 80 far a* I have underalood the late conirover«7 re- 
ppectiiig the tariff*, it ha^ not bef n contended thai dullea muf 
not be laid and collected fnr the purpose of carrying on the go- 
vernnienl, and pa>ing ii# deblii. The objection i« to impcwilioa 
ofdutied to rai*e money not needeil by the government for con- 
atituiional object*, but for the pur|MMe ol beiienng the ^itualloa 
of one pfiriion of ilie conimnniiy to the prejudice and at the ex*

Inaticc. It will be readily Mcn that by tliin courae of proceed -

cunlroveniea produced by the operation* of ihi* bill. 

Another objection 1*, that it destroy* the re*ponf>ibility of the

A sttacieni answer in all the areuin* nt I have heard i*, llial we made pre*idenl, he wa« not the ihoi.-e of the people, and they 
are not now passing a law verting the apiHimtmeni of inf«.rior would not *u*uin him. and the fact of his noi being their chcHce

iMa claase of the cnnsittutMm, then quenunn^ m>xht ari^eoo j i^y nir mi-deed* of the present exernlive before them. Thia 
wknai Ike appointing power should be conferred, and alMiwIn- - should rather induce gentlemen to doubi the soundness ol their 
Iker in tach ca*e* the reinovmc power would not properly at „wii opinion*, whin the great body of the people, upon a fair 
lack itself in those to whom the app«itnling power was given; exhibition of the fkci* and argunienit, decide every important 
bat Ikeae quest iona cannot arise upon the bill before u*. Thi* ! question a£ain*t them: and genib-aien nhould not indulge Ihe 

bill iaof a different character altogether; it embrace* "fffcer*, ' ^pi„t nfpro|iiifcy iim ch, unle** there i* a rea*on able Per- 

Ike nppointment of whom cannot lie tran!<ferred from the presi. : (a,|,ty thai the fact* foretold will follow the prediction*. If, et 
dent and annate by law. It include* amharsador*, other public j n,,. u«| iies*lon. Ihe people of the United Stales could have 
and consuls, which mupt be appointed by the pre*i- been pf-rt>uaded that Ihey were wretched and miserable, when 

they felt and knew they were happy; if they could have believ- 
ed that Ihey were ruined and bankrupt, when agricullare, 
crmimerce, manufacinre* and all the mechanic arl«, were ffou- 
riihing in a higher deirer than at any former peri'Ml, then, in- 
deed, would gentlemen have *ucceeded in puitiag down the 
pretent chief niagi*trate. Tlie people of the I.V.ited Htate*, 
however, attentively surveved the controver*y carrying on be- 
tween the president of the United fliale* and thohe by whom he 
was a**ailed. Each individual examined into hi* own condi- 
tion for himnelf, and ascertained as far a* pra« licaMe how lar 
the act* of the executive, or the acta of the hMok of the Unlied 
State*, had operated injuriously upon hi* lntere*|*; and, after 
full examination Ihn* made, the Judgment of tlie rommonity 
has been, so far as it could be given, pronounced in favor of the 
acta of Ihe pre*ident,and against the bank ol the United Hiaiee. 
The gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) tell* u*, that the 
bank i* now out of the que*rHm; thai no propotntiim to renew 

^«-«w««. -«..- . , „ -~ the charter will be brought forward. My f«.ar ha- been, and I*, 

tke preaidrnt to exercM il, then it might be our duly M pa** ; that the lion h not dead "but Mee|ietb;" and thai, upon a pro- 
lawa in aid of ihe cxeculive; but no law I- necessary lo a**i*i mi*ing oeca-mn, he will ro»»e up from hi* slumbers, aud exert 

- - - . . ^„ j,j, pf»wer* for a prolonrntion of hi* exi-ience. 

We are iig:iin irinmphantly asked, where is Ihe treasury of 
the United Huti p' f an»wrr, safe in the depoHite banks, aub- 



dcniand acaate, under the general auiburity conferred on them. 
la tke Ural part of the clause of the con*tituiion I have Just read. 
A pari of ilM eighth section of the fir^t article of Ihe con*tiia- 
Hoa kas been referred 10, lo su*Uin the power of congress in 
aaaaiag tke bill. In the ennmeration of the power* of congre** 
U la declared that **congre*w shall have power lo make all laws 
which ahall be nccee*ary and proper for carrying into execution 
tke forefoing powers, and all other power* vested by this con- 
atltailoo in tke government of Ihe United Bute*, or in any de- 
partownt ikereof.** I cannot myself discern the least applica- 
tloa or sopport which thia bill can derive from this iwrl of the 
cooaUiaiioa. The power given by il la lo pass law*, to carry 
into rlTeci Ihe powers vcaled in the government oi the tniied 
Siaiea, or in any department or officer thereof. Wow, I am at 
a loea to see how gcnUemen can di*eover in thi* a power civen 
to co ngre a a to deprive an officer of the government of rights or 
powera vested in him by ibe constituiion. If the |»uwer of re

Mr. Puinde^ler anid, iliat, rince this fiubjrct had b«^cn undi^r

wi»iied to have dl^cu!'^ed. Thai wad (he power ol impeach- 
nii-nt. Uui he would lorbrar. 

Mr. Calhoun Kaid, the third aeition n( llie bill, iiivolvini{ the 
qucMioii wiMllnr the power of removal resided in the president 
by the con^iiiuiion or not, wan one of no urdmary character. 
Upon ilH di-« i^mn, nioHteiitou.4 coH'CqiieiMM-s depended. lie

men (|iialitii-il lor llie inok. and he wouhi not oempy Hie time 
ol the lO naie by repeaiinf( their argument-, lie intended to 
conline hiiiMell to a cinijli! point. 

Mr. C. Maid the pDwer of removal exit^led either an n power 
necefNary and proper for carryins into cirect tin* prnvii.ions of 
Ihe coiiitiiiuiion, or ai an expres* Biaot of lh.it eon-tituiHUi. 
H it was n>:ceiipary for earryine into effed Hie coiKiitiiiion, it 
wa!« more properly a h i!i.>laiive tloiii an exeintive power. 

lie had relied im Hie ditcirimi of I7i?9 h* ihi Hue ami proper 
exp(*>iiion of the cim^iMuiinn. until la-i wmtei, when hi!< at- 
teiuiiiu WHi* pailiriil.irly ealh-il |i> the -nbjeri. II.- then to.ik 
up Hie fiinjeel and lookeil over the debate of that lime, lie 
thoutfhl Hie aric'iinenl-i ut the inniMriiv exhiloted a ju>i view of 
lh« question, and were uiian>wer)ible. 

Mr. C .faid. MMn<; nenatiO'^ had uroiinded iheir arcument^ on 
the i>uppo<iiliiMi that Hih pnwer wan euiilained in lhal cenernl 
sweep, wheie nil exeeuiivi* power i!< uriuili d lo ilii* pri"ritdeni. 
Others maiiilnin thai it was an inherent power, flui he dii>a- 
greed with both opiniHU^. Mr. C. wished in turn to the practi- 
cal nperaiioiM. and M*e how ihei<>e powem would work. Ainons 
io many conniiuciions* ihere could be no gtivenimi nt. Every 
officer, from the president down to Hie coiifi:ilile, niu/.i iklmw 
some uranl of power, either from the conftlilutMui or law. 

CongreMi wa;* the great central pninl where all power mufit 
receive it« jianciion and direction, infiead of being directed ac- 
cording to the views of separate and conflicting departnientrt- 
If Ihe difTi-renl dtparinientc of ihe gnverniuenl filiould be placed 
in hoMtile array aeninst each oilier, it wad eauy to pee whicli 
would prevail. The proidcnt executed the laws and wan 
cloihrd with tht'ir authority; he put all the machinery of go- 
vernm«'nl in motion, and without him the laws wtre power 
lenff. Thr> Judicial department miehi decide upon the proprie- 
ty and application of the lawn, but Ihe preftidi>nl m*Hl enforce 
their decii-ionff. Hence il was easy to see whicli dcparimeni 
would prevail in the cnnllict. 

Mr. C p.iid, he had been unjuvtly dealt with. He had been 
repre>ent*'d as saving lhat all the offlcerN of government were 
the ?iipp'.e tool* of executive power. That was lar from his 
meaninc; he bKlieved there were many uprighl and couKcien 
tiou4 offlcerN. But hii' fearn were for the future. He had seen 
within a few year:« persons of the noblest spirit and purest in- 
tentions, quail before that magic influence, which has power 
over all, and before which the lofiieKi bow down. Ilvfore it, 
Rimi'in flrmneiis had been broken; and every manly virtue 
blasted beneath its withering influence. And whoever con- 
tended for Hiai power, upheld a mighty influence which would 
•wallow up our free institutions. 

There wa-i, said Mr. (/. an immenMe amount of discretionary 
power, which mii-t be vested snuiewhere, and he thoiieht il 
should be inlru<>ted with coneress. as the immediMie represen 
fiitives of the people. The premdent was sulhi ientiv priifeeted 
by hi* iieKniive over tlia laws of cooKreiii. And here, Mr. C 
said, he dilF'-red with his honorable fiiend from Maryland (Mr. 
Kent) in n-;: ird to the vi lo power of the execuiive. He be- 
lifved lhat power was granted, not only a« •■» proicetion acain*=l 
the enrr«Mehmf ni« of congioiis, but also to prevent all laws 
which miitlit einburrafs him in the peformance of his duties. 
The judicial deparuueui wac rortiOed by itj permaneoce «nd 
t«nare of offlue. 



Mr. C. said, thai if they wished to have the public bssiwii 
irahracted faithfully, Uie oflicer should be initde wife; as ssrcs' 
hiM place as il it were a freehold. Such should be the |M>licys( 
the government, unlri^s they meant that office* should b« the 
«|Miils of victory, and be '*ivided like conquered lauds in (oruirr 
tunes. Every pre^ide||l otiKht lo rejoice in Ihe opp<HlUDiiy sf 
giving hiii rvai>ons and explaining his conduct to the people. 

Mr. C went on to state, that the docinnea cniiiaiiied io tbe 
bill weie precMcly the »aiue as Utosc which had beeu advorat. 
ed by the lrieiid:> of this adminirtraiion, and up«Mii which g 
came into power. He held the grounds of caiivaM sacred- 
pledges >hould be redeemed, aud as»urances given to the pen- 
pie be ccrupulou»ly lultilled. 

Mr. C. vatd the senator fiom New York (Mr. IKrigAC) M 
ntiempied lo sin w iliere was no danger iruiii the niuliiiads 
over whii-h executive power was exelCl^ed. He then went on 
lo fituw that there wait dangei— an irrei»L<lible influence exeil- 
ed through each diviKioii and subdivision of lhal grem Mass. 
He referred to rotation in <ithce. He Ihoughl wlieie the oBecs 
were fliled by the p4;ople, rotation oiislil be praciiKed; bat 
whrre they were filled by Hie will of a single luaii, it tended b> 
make slaves and ^upple tools of men. 



Fthruaryf 14. 
The senate having resumed the consideration ot the htH le 
repeal the four yeara^ law, and other gentlemen having sp<»hes, 
iMr. Cluy said lhal he had intended to make a few reaiaihs 
hut as it was laie in Ihe day, and as this was Saturday eveatnf, 
he would postpone what he dcnred to say lo another lime. He 
begged have, however, to throw out, rather for the infurmalioa 
of the senate and the cominillee, than to force n diocu'stoa, aa 
anicndment which he propuiod a>« a subfittutr fur Ihe 
section, which amendinciit was entirely in eflTect what 
submitted la^l se»sion, in the form of resolutions. The 
inent Weill a liiile lai liter than the hecond »ection as it now 
stood; but Hiat tcciinn involved Ihe piinciple uf Ihe awcad- 
ment. He hoped the senator in hih eye would come nut rm this 
quection, and let it be seen if there was any one on Ibia flnar 
who would ri-«e and a^^ert lhal the pre^tidenl had Hie power, 
withniil any tsronnd, even of coii'^liiuiional implicaiiiiu, i«ic- 
move froinolfii-e; Hiat the i>trenin could exisl wiihtiuiibespriag. 
II the pre»iiileni had fuch powei, then the conMiiuiuMt wasaot 
worth a sous. The Irieiid:* of ibe admini»itration seemed to be 
rather shy about the constitution, except one who snid lhat be 
would not touch ii. Wum it becanxe the subject was above lua 
power? Not Ml? That e< ntleman had already given evitfeaee 
that be piHheMrird Hie ability. Could he And no coiiMlitniioaal

t;.) to i!ive the prccideni a band of KHI.OOO pen^inned oAcert. 
inoie eiiicieul as a suard ihan the Fretoriaii band of Rome. If 
there be this |Mi\M!r ol rtiiiovnl expreM.i|y given in the ron«lil»> 
lion, and I have i<iiuslit ^edllou^ly to And it; if il he an inherrat 
power, let the eentlein.in show us Ihe fact, lhat it may be open- 
ed to the human vihion. When the subject «(hull lie rifSDaic4 
on Monday, I shall eonie here in the hope thai sonn* nf ihelead- 
ers of the adiiiinii'lratinn parly will come out, with book in 
hand, and show the text for this iremendouii power. He would, 
foi Hie pieseni, conttnt himself wilh laying the following an rnd- 
iiiciil on the table: 

He it further enacted^ Thai in nil in!<iances of appniniment i«i 
• •fli<e by Hie president, by and wilh ihe advice and conM'iii of 
the sciiaie, the power of removal shall be exeicised only in cuff 
curicnce with the senate; and when the senate was not in ses- 
xioii, the president may suspend any such nilicer, comainnirat- 
ing his reasons for Uie su!»|H'nsioii during Ihe Aist nionlh of tha 
succeeding ses»ion; and if the senate concur wiili him, iIm ofl- 
cer shall be removed; but if it do not concur with faiai tiM 
offleer fhall be restored to oflice. 

Mr. Buchanan. I am exceedindy sorry, Mr. President, that 
the senator from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) appears to be dispoaed 
so often to pay his compliments to myself. 

Mr. Clay. I had no allusion lo the srnainr from Pennaylva- 

nin, when' I referred lo tbe k-adeis of the ad mi nisi ration party. 

Mr. fiiicAunan. When Ihe genHeinan spoke of the leaders of 

Ihe bdinini!*lratiou party, he bmked at me, and I understood 

him as alluding lo me, or I ihougiil he did. 

Mr. Clay. I assure the gentleman I had no allusion lo him 
whatever. I might look at him, as he looks at me sometimes; 
but I tliiuk Pl the lime I spoke of ihe leaders of a pariienlar 
party, I was liNiking rather to the senator from New York, (Mr. 
irrii;AO. than to liirn. 

Mr. huchanan. WiHiout going further into the r|ueatino of 
who the gentlemnn referred to in his remarks, I will simpljr 
ftate, that whenever he thinks proper to take up ihe subject, 
and aiieinpl to prove that the practice under which this toeern- 
mem ha'* flourished, and which was sustained by Madison, is 
not foundeil in reason and justice, is not necewary for Ihe pro- 
per adminioiraiion of Hie government, and is not cousisteol Willi 
the con«ii!ution. then I will be ready to meet him. 
Mr. C/'iy. We shall meet then at Philippi. 
.Mr. Sheplfy said that Ihe senator from Kentucky had not nn- 
der-iiood him correctly. He (Mr. H.) had remarked lhat he 
would not then discuss a question which opened t-o wide a field, 
heeause time did not admit of it. He did not. and wmild nni, 
shun an inquiry into the correctness and c«instilulionaliiy of a 
pracUce which had been, and still continued lo be, exerrun^l 
by every administration of this govemmant, frou ils oiganuA- 
lion dnwu lo the present time.

THE FAST^-OVS PRMBNT — tttR THE rUTimS. 



EDITED, PEIHTED AlfD FUBUSHBD BT H. HILBB, AT $5 PEE ANBTCM, PATABLE IH AllVABCB. 



We insert a great mats of curious and important mat- 
ter in the present sheet. The doings of tlie people, on 
Eeeount olUie gambleit— of the intended insurrection of 
tfie slaves— Mud on the means resorted to to induce lliero 
to murder their masters and others, present us with hor- 
rid pictures of the slate of society. The cMses lliat we 
have oflfered, are only as t/jtcimetu! — selected out of a 
niightT mass of articles relating to tlie subjects S|>oken of. 

The state of society is awful. Brute force has super- 
seded the law, at many places, and violence become the 
••or</tr of the day. " The time predicted seems rapidly ap- 
proaching when the mob shall rule. It was heretofore 
coufined to New York and Philadelphia — but there were 
many base murders on llie Baltimore rail roads yet uii- 
aatisfied; in the vicinity of Boston we have the battles of 
the **Corkonians" and **Kerrymeu" to be added to tlie 
eouflagration of the Ursuline convent — and **Ked Row," 
in Moyamensing, (Philadelphia) has been just destroyed 
bv 6re. A bad feeline is getting up in several other 
|Maees, and on many different accounts— but has burst 
out with the greatest force in Mississippi; where per- 
aons have been executed in an extraonlinary manner. 
The |K>st office Ims been broken open in Clwrleston, and 
meetings been held at a number of the cities and towns 
of the south, with a fearful looking; to events. Impudent 
Jfjtreij^rt — such as O* Connell ttnS Thompton^ are inter- 
lering in our domestic relations— and tlie fanatics who 
follow them have set their presses at work to spread de- 
•olation and death through the whole south — as mny be 

rrtially seen by a reference to several articles inserted 
the |M*esent sheet. 

The time was when every citizen of the United States, 
would "rally round the standard of the law, and unite in 
eommon eflfurts fur the common good** — when a person, 
^anned only with a small piece ot paper, could proceed 
a thousand miles through the country, and bring the 
alroneest man to answer to the law, for tlie law was ho- 
Eored. But is it so DOW? Alas, do! 

Another pamphlet, of 146 pages, issued by Reverdy 
Johnson and John Glenn, on the aj/iUrt of the bank of 
JUarylwul, appeared on Monday lasL We have not yet 
read it. 

The feverish or fidgetty stale of Baltimore may be 
indgeil from tlie faet, that Uie mayor has ealied a meet- 
ing of the people to **iusure the preservation of the pub- 
lie peace.** 

We learn that the Northern bank o^ Xeniucky has 
Durdiased of the United States bank, their office at I^ex- 
ington, Kentucky, comprehending their aetive debt, spe- 
cie, hanking house, Ccc &e. and beoome their *g«nt for 
wiiiding up tlie sus{»eiided debt on terms that will enable 
the bank to go into full operation within four or five 
weeks. 

The U. S. sloop of war Fabnmah^ MeCauley, eoro- 
maniler, has arrived at Norfolk from the West India 
station — laat from Pensacola. 

The "travelling eabinet*' was a term odentimes used 
E few years ago. Now, or very recently, the president 
and every member of the "cabinet, was absent from 
Washington, Mr. Amos Kendall eseepted. 

A disastrous fire has happened at Cleveland, Ohio. 
Tlie whole range of buildings from the bookstore of J. 
Kellogg, to the Mansion House* Is laid in rains. The 
eitituaied loss is nearly, or about 75,000 dollars. 

Daniel Webster, judge Story, Horace Binoey, John 
Bereeant, gffn. Jones, Benjamin Watkins Leigh and John 
Vol. XLVUl— Sie. 88. 



C. Wright, have been respectively selected bv their fel- 
low citizens to deliver an eulogy on the late chief justice 
Marshall — and they all have consented to perform the 
duty assigned ihem. 

The whigs of Virginia, are earnestly requested, in the 
Lynchburg "Virginian,** "to meet together in their re- 
spective towns and counties, as soon as practicable, and 
ap|>oint one or more delegates, to meet at Lewisborg, 
Greenbrier county, on Tuesday, the 15th of September 
next, to consult together and devise some means of pre- 
serving the public liberty, cmd of 9ectiring our free in- 
stitutions apainst the roacliinations of political' and reli- 
gious fanaticism! Prompt and dechive action iw euen- 
tiatly tucettary — and the cmtntry expect* you to do yorur 
duty." 

The "Corkonians" and "Kerry men*' have been "fay- 
ittg timber** on one another in the neighborhood of Boa- 

rtton. The leaders were arrested— but the witnessea were 
loath to testify against ihem, until assured of the protee- 
|Uon that the law would afford them! 

The "National Intelligencer** of yesterday has an ac- 
count of an attempt to nmrder Mrs.* TViof 7i/on, (relict of 
the late Dr. T.) by a negro man, armed with an axe, in 
the night — which the editors believe was the effect of 
reading some of the inflammatory publications with 
w hich the mails have latterly been loaded. The rascal 
made his e8eai>e. The attack was made on the ladj 
while in bed. This Is the **first fruit*' tliat lias liap|)ened 
in Washington. 

Nests of gamblers have been broken op at JVb^/a^, 
and several other places. They are very numerous in 
the United States. 

Eight cases of cholera have appeared at Buffalo— four 
of which proved fatal. 

Itaac McJCim and Benjamin C Howard^ both of the 
city of Baltimore, have been nominated by the frienda of 
Mr. Van Buren^ as members of eongresa, to represent 
the district composed of the city of Baltimore and eoeiitj 
of Anne Arundel. 

The New York Gazette sUtes that the king of the 
French has given his royal assent to the American in- 
demnity bill. 

At Union college, Schenectady, New York, the hont^ 
rary degree of L. L. D. was conferred on Abraham Van 
Vechten, the rev. John Breckenridge and Roger B. Ta- 
ney. So we have doctort Benry Ciay^ Andrew Jaekmm 
and Roger B* Taney. 

Mr. Muhlenberg is called the A<7w Tbrlr candidate finr 
governor of PemuylxHuiia/ 

Tlie weeklr repoK of interments in New Orleaat, for 
tlie week ending with the 18th olt is given In the Trae 
American as follows: Potter's field 40; Catholic lfi| 
\merican 9— total 58. This is a very moderate number 
for the place and the season, and would seem to denote 
unusual exemption from fatal diseases. 

The harvest has been an abnndant one, notwithstanding 
the Jeremiads that were said and song and groaned about 
it, a little whi^e ago— and the growing erops of com pre- 
sent the best pouible evidence of an extra yield. The 
poiatoe crop will, probably, be exceedingly large. So 
It is, or promises to be, with respect to other important 
articles.

[Philadelphia Exchange Book; 

Stbikb at thr WAaiuvGTUif 2f ATT TABD. Yesterday 
afternoon about 1 50 of the meehanies employed in the navy 
yard marched in a body to the seereiai7 of the navy, to 
|ir«y for a redress of grievances. We understand that 
the woi*kiDen employed in the yard complained of an 
onler issued by the coinnio«Iore yesterday rooi*ning, 
whieh tliey considere<l as arbitrary and an undeserved 
reflection upon their integrity. We cannot leani the 
fiartieulMra; out we understand tliat great excitement pre- 
Tmilt among the mechanics in the yard. {J%1irrTn 

The coppbb mixk9 of SmArroBD, in Vermont, are 
owned and worked by a company of individuals in Bos- 
ton. The drift or excavation whieh was made to reach 
the ore, has been pushed into the side of the hill to the 
diataiiee of seven or eight huiidre<l feet, and a rail road 
hat been laid to the extremity of the drift for the pur- 
pose of bringing out the ore. Al\er the or« has been 
blaated, the following process is pursued: 

The most valuable portion of it which contains a large 
amount of eoppcr, is selected and carried off to the cop- 
per fjmaeea-^ituated a short disUnce from the hill. 
Xhe remainder is broken into small pieces; large quan- 
titiea of water are then pum|ied on the heap, which 
eaaaei the ore to slack. The water passing through be- 
eoraes highly impregnated with cop|>eras, and at the bot- 
tom of the hill is received into drains which convey il 
into reservoirs. From these it is let off into the furnace 
boilers; when sufficiently heated it is again let oflf into 
Tata called coolers, and 'from these It tiasses into otlier 
Tati where the process of crystalization Ukea place. 
Rods haTing pini of about a foot in length ttook id theiii» 



are laid across the vats, and around those pins the co|i- 
\m\*%% collects in large crystals of a bright color. When 
rrt-ftli from the vats they have an exceedingly beautiful 
appearance. Near 1,000 tons of copperas are annually 
obtained by oim of the establiUiments. 

Texas. The Mobile Register of July SO, contains the 
foJ towing observations on the political condition and 
prospects of Texas: 

The state of things in Texas is really critical. The 
colonists are evidently pn*|>ariiig to stand to their arms, 
and resist the invasion of Mexican troops threatened by 
Santa Aiuia. At the I;;.rsi account^ Siiiilu Anna was b^ 
lieved to bu making prepHrations at BtUiia to march oi>- 
cMi Texas. Doubts were nevertheless expressed by some 
ol the truth of this report, at least to the full extent ap- 
prehended by others. It was said by passengers at New 
Orleans, on l4lh, from Bi-azoria, that Santa Anna's lx- 
f^ lotion was ordered in oonsecjuence uf the false report 
y^at, in the affair of the Montezuma^ the Americans hait 
hanged several Mexican officers — on hearing the facts he 
countermanded the order, and sent only 200 men to Ma- 
taj^nrda, as a protection to the commerce of the country. 

Xot withstanding these conflicting opinions as to Saiga 
Anna's objects, we have reason to believe that actual hot- 
EiJilics have been commenced by a portion of the Ameri- 
cans in Texas. A paragraph in the New Orleans Bulle- 
tin of Saturday says, that, captain Moore, of the schoon- 
er Shenandoah, in a short run from Brazoria, reports that 
tbf; Texonians had seized u|K>n the fort at Annahuac, 
gHrrisoned by one hundred men, whom they captured 
Htid sent to Sl Feli|>e. A portion of the people thought 
ihis step was pushing matters to extremities, and one aa 
uncalled for, but all were determined to maintain their 
jii^t rigliU should they be assailed by the Mexican pow- 
ers." 

JVew OrleatUt July 17. It is Terr probable that tliit 
ftrcuon of the republic of Mexico (Texas) will soon be at 
wiir with the general goveniment of that country. The 
aCTuirs of Texas are fast approaching to a critis, when i( 
will be necessary for her to submit tamely to oppresaion, 
or io rise in arms against her tyrants. Santa Aima aeerot 
resolved to reduce them to submit to tlie arbitrary and 
uiieuual laws which have been enacted against them by 
the Mexican coneresa. 

It is im|>ossibTe for Texas to remain long nnder the 
dominion of Mexico. The character of the Texoniant, 
wlio are generally emigrants from the United States, is 
too essentially different from that of the Mexicans, for 
iht^m to remain long attached to the uncongenial laws and 
customs of Mexico. The Texonians are too far a-head 
€>f their present would-be masters — they know loo much 
of the principles of republicanism, and are too much at^ 
tJiched to the free institutions they have been Uiight from 
childhood to appreciate and revere, to allow themselves 
to be trampled upon. 

We have received |>npers from Brazoria, up to the 97tn 
of last month, which infurm us that Santa Anim is col- 
keting troops, arms and munitions of war at Bahia, with 
a f iew of marching into Texa% for the puqwse of enforc- 
ing the prescriptive law lately paused agair.st tliat state 
bv the Mexican congress. We will soon, doubtless, see 
w'hether the fortunes of the Mexican Hun can withsUnd 
the American rifle. 

fXf-Tlie tute of our affairs with Mexico may probably 
render the condition of tlie people of Texas more diffi- 
cult. The revenue cutter Ingham, on the New Orleana 
iiMtion, has had a brush with the Mexican (government) 
lehooner Montezuma— commenced by the latter, (a liist 
aailer), but who, finallr, thought it most safe to mn 
■niong the breakers, and seek safety at Brazos St Yago 
—after the exchange of a few shots.

twenty centuries since. Herculaneum was encnsed in lava, 
wliieh raakea the excavation very tedious and expensive; boi 
Foaapeii was covered only with a mass of loose ashes and pum- 
fliica atone, and is therefore now nearly all expoaed to easy dig-

**W9 saw one bouse which the workmen had Just nncover- 
•d; the frescoes on the walls looked as fresh as il done the day 
Ibcfbrr, and are very little injured by the fire. There are the 
acreela with the same pavements, cau^ways, and stepping 
•toaea; the baker's ovens, in which bread wa^i found; the shops 
witii signs over the doors, marks of the carriage wheels on the 
pavement, magnificent public baths, theatres, temples and pa- 
teees; in short, all the evident proofs of a populous and flonriiili- 
l«f eicy." [If. r. Star.

Warwick, tlie mnrdefer of Mr. Fisk, an aged man, both in- 
Aflensive and harmless, was tried this week at Fayette. On 
aec«Niift of some technicalities of the law failing to be observed, 
tba priaoner waa discharged. He had no sooner, however, 
•marged from the court house, than he waa stripped of his 
dothing, and a plentiful coat of (or aiid/«af Aen applied to him. 
Ha waa afterwarda whipped until almost inaensiUle to pain; 
and to ffcatora hia feeling senses, we nnderstand, a large quan- 
tity of aplrlla of turpentine wae poured upon him. In thia siiua- 
tioa he waa mounted upon a rail, and carried through the 
atraaiaof the town, amid tbeshouta of the multitude. It is 
aald that daring the execution of Judge Lynches sentence, the 
calprit frequently beggi^il to be shot, but was told that such a 
death waa too easy fur him. When the vengeance of the niul- 
tttade bad been fully reeked upon bim, he waa furnished with 
■Mwey aaflcient to-carry him beyond the limits of the state 
with tha Injunction that in five houra from the time of his re-

The weich-lockii on tlie New York canala have been aafllel- 
itnily tested to shew their -general accuracy. 

A large paper mill, which makea from one to two bondred 
reams uf paper per day, is in operation at New Orleana. 

There are several large cotton mills near Petersburg, Virgi- 
nia, and others nt Lynchburg, &c. One of them contains 4,000 
spindles, and 170 louuis. Another, we believe is still larger. 

A paragraph In a Inte number of the Louisville (Ky) Adver- 
rixer, shews in a utriking light the rapid growth of ttiat city. 
W«i learn Iroin that paper, that the population of Louisville 
WAN, in 1810, 4,019, in 1830, it was 10,336; and in 1835, it waa 
found in he 18,966— thua having increased upwards of eight 
UiousHud five hundred, or in other words, nearly doubled its po- 
pulaiioii, within the short period of five years. 

In the town of Newport are two steam cotton factories now 
in i»|ii-rati(in, and another ia immediately to be built upon a 
liirgu scale, being two hundred feet long by forty wide. Tboaa 
engaged in thesH tnterprisea say they have by practice demon- 
«tintf(f that it is cheaper to use ^team power in the midst of a 
deoHe population, than to use water power, which often makea 
u ni'cecKnry not only lo build a factory but a town also. There

**by the reiuruK of the lock keepers on the Schuylkill canal, 
it appenrs that $141,838 31 have been received in t)7 daya, end- 
ing on the 13tli June. When it is considered that the larger 
portion of this cum liaa been derived from the valley of tha 
Schuylkill, extending only about inO miles into the interior, 
and draining the resources of a part of but one coal region, we 
cannot hesitnte tn believing that the proapecis of the comiiany 
are beyond any calculation that haa yet been made. The re- 
maining part of the eeason which haa hitherto been the most 
productive, roust at leat produce $350,000, which with tlie in- 
come for water rent, cannot make less than $500,000 this year. 
This amount will be an excess over last year'a bttslneaa of 
about $186,489, and, as the expenses have not materially in- 
creased, the innnagera must give at least to the atockholdera 
90 per cent, upon the capital." 

The stock of the Schuylkill canal company has been forsome 
time past at an advance of two hundred per cent, and with 
this prospect in view, we should not be surprised to aee il go 
much higher. 

A machine for stiffening hat bodiea has been invented at 
Newark, N. J. by the aid of which one man can do aa much 
aa five in the ordinary way. A great saving ia alao gained 
in the mater iaia uaed in the process. 

Rail road from ParU to Havre. In the chamber of depatlaa 
on the 3d April, the mioiater of the interior presented a bill for 
this purpose. Government proposed to open the projected un- 
dertaking to public competition. It was calculated that the road, 
which was to pass Dieppe, would be 58 leagues in a direct 
line, and 74 including the branch roads. The expense was es- 
timated at 60 million francs. It waa propoaed that the ataia 
ahnuld take shares in the undenaking in the profit of one-filUi 
of the whole amount and on the aame conditions aa the public. 
In the event of the plan turning ^ut profitably, the capital 
would then he employed on some other useful undertaking, or 
the urifls might be lowered one-flflh or one fourth.

FOUEIGN NE\V8. 
Prom London paper$ of July 1 . 

The commander of the Cnrlent force* in S|Min, gen. Zumala- 
correfNy, iri dead— from a wound received at the iteige of Rilboa. 
He wan a very able soldier — resolute, yet cauiioiiKt and it wan 
ilioiight that tii« death would materially affect llie cau#e of 
Carlos. 

The first battaHoa of British volunteer forces for the service 
nf the queen of Spain » under command of col. Chichevler, em- 
barked on the dIHh June, ou board the Monarch steanib<iat for 
the Spkninh coast. 

Charles Matth«%V8, the comedian, died at Davenport June 
97lli. 

His higliness Hussan Pacha, bey of Tunis, died on the dOth 
of June. 

The Carlifts have about 16,000 men at Bilboa, and in it* imme 
diate HeigliborhiKid, under the command of Eraso. 

A lively liuie debate look place in the British Iioum of com 
mens between lord Mahon, lord Palmerston and col. Evaiis— 
on a motion made by the former an to the enliftmenls for Spain, 
which was entirely approved by the second, and warmly re- 
plied to by the thiid, who is to coininaud the auiilinries. Col. 
E. said that 10,UUU men wtnild be abundantly sulBcient to ac 
complish the tranquility of Spain. 

A SPLENDID DESCRIPTION OF THE ALPS. 
Much as we talk of nature, there are places where we feel 
tliat our previous conceptions have been dim and narrow. He, 
who croat«s the Alpi*, will experience this sensniion, inin|;lcd 
with a certainty, that ihou(>aiids of painters and poeu, and niil- 
linns of others, hve and die wiUiout even suspecting the power 
of dcenery over the mind. Our journey across the Sphigeii 
waa, to us, a day uiemorHble for ever. Our reeoliirctions are 
of grandeur— glfMmiy vasiness— awful solitude— eternal suhli- 
■iiy. 7'here were moments, during the ascent, ol a kind 
atrange and n(:W to me. Whoever seeks '*s<itnetiiing nfW un- 
der ibe sun." if he has dwelt on a plain, let him ajcind a veri- 
UMe moufUain, and lie will find it. Awe, amazement, gloom, 
woader and rapture, during which you cannot smile, combine 
to elevate you. The road winds up, and up, and up— a mad 
atream, white with foam, thundering all day by its side— amid 
slope* and cliflTs, forests and vnles — then a plain and a |MNir 
hui, or a ragged town and some beggars. You paure nnd rest; 
and llien, again, up and up— windiug and turning— sometimes 
through ireineiidous raviiies_sonie times by magnificent water- 
falls—sometimes along giddy and yawning gulfs— yet still, al- 
ways up and up. 

Then the face of the earth rhang«*s, and the grass fades near- 
ly away, and the naki'd, everlasting rocks li(\ their gray backs 
Uirough the soil. The tempests of six thousand years have 
beaten against thenii. Now, the road stt^als through a desert of 
endless stones, broken and scattered about— now through a 
long dark gallery, wet and dripping— now at the brink of a tre- 
nendous precipice, which your imnginiition would receive as 
the summit of any mountain; bni. anon, the toiling, panting, 
■weatiug horses drag you around an angle of nick; and lo! 
above you overhang other clifiTs and other mountains in the 
sky; piles, swells and pyramids of snow and ice; and, so near 
their awful beighths as lo Uarile you, the white line runs yet 
higher and higher, and you believe not that it is your puth still 
ao far above you— and yet it is. 

The earth is now totally elmng^d, and the temperature, and 
atmosphere, and heavens are chanced. You wrap your heavy 
eJoak around you in the biting co!d. Dark clouds are rolling 
gloomily over your path, and the white snow shines beneath 
yoa, and the winter wind shakes violently the cUised glasses of 
your carriage; and, as the road, still mounting and bending up 
and up, turns your face now to the right— now to the left— you 
ealch, far b«h>w, such awfhl gleamings of sublime scenery — 
Mich dim, wild depths of azure— sue It forms of cold blue, lifted 
•ad built up around you in the eternal silence, and shrouded in 
the mist and storm, that your very soul is hushed and chilled, 
and you feel as if death, the king of terrors, had here fixed his 
home; and, were a fpedre to stand in your path, or to lean and 
beckon to yon from his ear of rolling mist, you would behold 
kim without starting, for your imagination can scarcely be more 
ozcited. A cataract, which, on the plain, would draw all Eu- 
rope to it as a fashionable resort. Is here no curiosity. Its lone- 
ly thunder swells and dies away in the interminable solitude. 
Twenty times we thought ourselves at the height of this stu- 
pendous road, and yet its zig-zag course appeared ever mount- 
ing far before us, up and up, till the cold grew extreme, and 
the darkness of night overlooked us; and we were completely 
lost and envelopfMl in heavy, wet clouds, rolling around ns like 
a mighty ocean. IFayU SkeUku. 



veller; but it is not nnhealthy, and most probably it is the con- 
trary in Its elTects on the Gaiichns, who pass entire months 
without any other nourishment than beef newly killed, without 
any salt to it, which, likn bread, is considered a luxury on the 
Puiii|»as. When roin has failed for a long period together, ma- 
ny spins become uninhabitable, and the settlers are obliged to 
remove; the lakes gradually dry up, and a growth of rn^hea 
overspreads their bottoms, serving as lairs for the pnmas, who 
lie in wait for the cattle, that, perishing with thirst, with mourn- 
ful lowing seek Uie remnants of green stagnant water which He 
on the marly surfoce, thick as refuse oil, and swarming with 
myriads of luusquiioes'. Yet it has ere now been to the writer 
a sensation of extreme pleasure to dismount from a Jaded horse, 
with his rude companions, and, taking the handkerchhrfs which 
shaded our heads Irom the scorching sun, in spread them on the 
surface of such a gilded puddle, scarce an inch in depth, and 
thus suck away the moisture, while the whizzing insects buz- 
zed around, as if in anger at our thus drying up their fishing 
waters. As the water becomes gradually more scanty, the 
rushes wither— the dry pasture catches Are from the smoulder- 
ing horse dung, left burning by some chance traveller; the Hanie 
sweeps along, and, lading as Aist as it advances, resembles a 
fiery knilis edge mowing the wide plains. As it passea by, the 
rushy oases are kindled, and fierce flashes mount upwards with 
earh breath of air, like the blasts of a volcano. The wild aul- 
mnls rush forth before the destroyer, and seek for a bare spot or 
the intersecting line of a stream, wiiich may afford ihem shel- 
ter. Bnt It is a fearfbl race for life or death, lor the fl>ing Aama 
over the parched level mocks the speed ot the swiftest horses 
of the plains. On some occasions a caravan of the sirsw thatch- 
ed wagons of the interfor provinces is overtaken, and wagon>'y 
oxen and drivers perish together. We once beheld four drivers 
still hving, who had thus been roasted alive. They had been 
laid in a shed, with their burnt garments shrivelled into cinders 
on their akinless bodies, to live or to die, according ns the vital 
energy might conquer or succumb, for tliere was no help or me* 
dical skill to avail them. [London Assists. 

WASHINGTON MONU.MENT SOCIETY. 

The presidency of the H'asA<HgloR Nulioual A/^nitmeni §oeU- 
(y liavmg become vacant by the lamented decease (tf^hief Jus- 
tice Mazsuall, ez-prrsident Maditon was unanimously elected 
to fill the vacant office. The folhiwing is his beMuliful and ap- 
propriate reply to the letter of Judge Crautk, (first vice presi- 
dent of tl»« society), announcing his election. 

Monlpelter, July 95, 1K». 

Dkaz sia: I have received your k-tter of the 3Uth, informing 
me <Mhai I have been unanimously elected president of Um 
Waslilngion National Monument i^ociety in the place of its lato 
lamented president, chief Justice Marshall." 

I am very seui'ible nf the distinction cimfcrred by the rela- 
tions in which the society has placed me; and feeling, like my 
illustrious predecessor, a deep interest in the object of tiie as- 
sociation, 1 cannot wiU hold, as an evidence of it, the accept- 



ance of the appoiiitnieni; though nwnre thnt in my actual con- 
dition it cannot be nutrf. than honorary, and thai, under no clr- 
cunistancea, it could supply the loss which the society Iws sus- 
t.tined. 

A monument, worthy the memory of WAsniifOToa, reared by 
the means proposed, will commemorate, at the saniu time, a 
virtue, a |>atriotisni and a gratitude truly national, wiih which 
the friends of liberty, every where, will sympaihbe, and uf 
which our country may always be proud. 

I tender to the society the acknowledgments due from ne, 
and to yourself the assurance of my high and cordial esteem.

fVUUam Cranekf esq. 1st vice presMent of tlie Washiufton Na- 
tional Monument society. 
The National InUUigeneer adds— 

*'The noblest monument that has been erected in modem 
limes was to the memory of one nf the greatest patriots that 
ever lived— Koscicsko. He was buried at Cracow, in his na- 
tive liind, and the Polish nation, who appreciated his worth, 
and his glorious strngcles in opposition to tyranny, resolved to 
erect a monument to his memory, which shouM withsund tb« 
assaults of the elements, and even of time Itself. 

*'This monument waa in the shape of a mound, raised on an 
eminence, which commands a viuw of the Vistula. At thia 
work, the aged and the younf , the rich and the poor, the noble- 
man and the serf, even ladies, reared in the halls of wealth and 
luxury, labored witli their own bands. Every one was anxfoua 
to pay thia tribute of their respect to the memory of *<the great 
Nnczelnic.» It was commenced in October 18SM, and finished 
in 3 years. It Is known by the name of JIfogila JTosciaMfo, 
(Kosciusko's mount), and measures 976 feet in diameter at the 
baae, and 30O feet in height, and ia the most stupendous work 
ever performed by human hands.** 

Honorable indeed to the niirit of the people of Polani! 
was this tribute of respect for the memory of the noble 
defender of their liberties, and the more ao from the 
manner in whioh it was rendered. The people of the 
United States are invited to pa j a similar homage to the 
SOUTH AMERICA memory ol" the defender of their liberties. Was a deeii-

MoaiLB has followed the saaie course aa BTsw Orlcoiu, in re- 
mobating illegal violence, and asserting iha aapreiaaey of the 
laws, and their cHlciency for the niaintenance of peace ami 
order, and the |ifevenii4»n of vagrancy. The following are th^ 
reaolutiona adopted at a meeting of tha citizeaa of Mohile, on 
theSUtaluato: 

IFAereos, Thrr^ ii Just reason to apprehend that Aigiiive 
gamblera, swindlers, and other profligate individuals, wIhmh; 
ptamdeM vires have caused their expulsion from Vickaburg, 
Natches, and oiher places In that vicinity, nay seek refuge 
from the Just indignation and resentment of a aaclety Iher 
have so kmg ouirag**d, and aiifoipt to introduce their vile prac- 
tices into this peaceful and moral community — 

B9 U therefore resolved, TImi the citisens of Mobile disap 
prove t»f gaming, and gamesters, and are determined to unite in 
cansing the laws providing fiir the suppression of aambling to 
be rigidly enlorced in every insunce where their violation 
cornea within their knowledge. 

Be U fmriker revived, That the laws of the state and the or 
dHianeea of the eity, if rigidly enforced, arm amply sufflrient fiir 
the maintenance of the peace and order of this coromonlty, and 
to prevent Ihe iiigreaa flrom abroad of fugitives, vagranta and 
offenders. 

Be il /MTf &«r rstolved. That this meeting will render their 
prompt aitd cheertnl aid and assistance to ihe city auihorities 
in suiipreHsing taaiMing in this city, in preventing Iha Intra- 
dnriuMi amiNig us of gamesters and vairanu of any daaeriplloiit

GAMBLERS IN THE WEST. 

New Or/cont, Juli/ 13. Steamer Mitgul reports that she saw 
at Naicliex, as she passed down, several b<fata crowded with 
peri>un4 who had been ordered I'rimi that place, m ciUMequenca 
ni iheir alianitiined cliatactei,and aUo »aw, at Ellii^* Clilfs, 18 
miies below Natchez, one or two Hat Immik freiKiiied with tha 
same desi'riptiuii of pennon**, but princiftally leiiialeit— all iMiund 
ijiiwn tiK- Mis«iB(Mippi. The people of Nuti hex had diiven eve- 
ry i<uspici<iur pcrMui from a part ul tiieir town kiuiwn as **Nat- 
clii'X under tlir hill." 

Julif 17. by the et«-amboat Navarinn, which arilved last 
evening, we learn lliat the citixeus of V'ltk^buig were alMiut to 
chatter a t>|eanilH>al lo remove the gamblers, who had taken up 
iheir residence on Palin>ra uland — where they intended 10 con- 
vey them our informunt did not adceitHin. 

The following is published by way of an excuse for the ex- 
cesses at VK'kiburg — 

Genileinen who are in the city from Virki^bnrg say that the 
iiten wlio were hung there were all notorious gamblers. Under 
mils name are clacsed a host of ile»|»eradt>e« who belong lo Uia 
newly settlfd parti i>f the CMiiiiiry, who art not only cheats at 
fillies oi clinnee, but robiieis, tnnrderers and felons in nil 
L' limes. They have their si|iia(is at nil the principle points on 
iJie western rivers, and carry on crimes of all sorts by system* 
Tiiey have hhowii ilieoMelven too strong for the civil authori- 
iies,and havf no; he!>iiate(l to chall**n^e any one wlio dared to 
cull iliein to an accmint. No nneV life was i^ale who interfered 
with them. The gang at Vicksburg generally numbered about 
hliy. A state of tlnni^s had long existed there which had 
ivroucht up the feelings of ihe inhabitant* to a high pitch of in- 
iEignation, arcoinfianied with appielien^ion. The affray which 
itfriiiinaled in the tragedy wliicii has bnen related, coiniiieiiced 
on the 4th of July. One of tliete villain* attempted to take bia 
Keat at the public dinner table, but was driven away by a citi- 
£pn. He then armed himself with a brace of pistoln, and cama 
i>ack declaring his dfterminaiion to shoot the man who had oC^ 
ri;nHi'd hitn, a declaration which no one doubted he would car- 
ry Into execution if he had opporlunity. The gentlemen pre- 
sent determined no longer to bear the ftate of things they had 
i^o long endured. They orcantxed a tniliiary rmnpany, and in 
due lime went to work with the design of driving the despera- 
does from Ihe town. Rot the death ni ihfir leader gave another 
current to their resolution, and terribly did they take venga- 
Bince. The gang were glad enough to have libeny to take leg 
bail. 

We hnve among us a gang of desperadoes of the lane eba- 
racter, if not part and parcel of the same gang. They are call- 
tid the Chicester gang, and our citixens know but htlle of tho 
fiumher of brutal outrages they have committed, or of Ihe Inao- 
t'urlty which they impait to our streets, especially to every hya 
place. They do not hesitate at the commission of any crine to 
■obtain money, or to gratify any ol their passions, and whan 
ihey have no more important objects in view, they knock down 
peaceable men Just lor the fun of seeing them lomble over. If 
ever villains deserved a halter without mercy these villains da- 
jerve iu 



The Looiaville Advertiser saya— 

**A large public meeting of the citixens of Natches wta held 
at the court house on the 10th insi. AOer its organisation by 
the appointment of Thomas McDannold as chairman, and Flam- 
ing Wood as secretary, an address from the citisena of Vfteka- 
burg, (forwarded by a special delegation), was read to lha naat- 
ing, asking the assistance of the p«-ople of Natchex in llie 8n|H 
prestion ol gambling, and their co-operation in the expnlslon of 
professional gamblers fkom tbe country. Col. James C. Wll- 
vins then introduced several resolutions, requesting lha civil 
authorities to adopt the most rigorous measures for tha axtlrpn- 
tion of gambling— invoking the citixens to discountenanco it, 
and pledging the members of Ihe meeting to use every legal ex- 
pedient to crush its alarming and iniquitous practice. They 
were adopted with great unanimity; and on the motion of Mr. 
Thomas Armat, it was further resolved, *that the citixens of 
Natchex condole with the citixens of Vicksburg in Ihe loan of 
their beloved fellow citixen, Dr. BodUy; and although Ihey look 
with sorrow to the cause which rendered it necemary m pro- 
ceed to measures so violent and severe, and to supersede lha 
laws of the land, yet we assure them of our co operation In all 
legal measures to obtain the object proposed; and also, that wo 
will support with our services and lives such measnrea aa lha 
civil nuihoritiea of Natchex may direct for lha •nppreasion of 
gambling. On motion of Mr. Andrew Brown, a eoramltleo waa 
appointed to draft a ennstituiion f«ir tha establtobmeni of a ao- 
cietv for the suppression of gambling and other vices. 

"The people of Natchex have gone to work in Ihe right spirit. 
They determine to suppress Ihe evil of which they conphilB, 
but to do so by earryina the laws into full and complete efflMt, 
bv disconntenancing it by their own example, and by aiding tho 
efforts of the officers of Jnsiice. It is in vain that laws are en- 
acted if they ara not enforced by tha moral sense of lha com- 
munity. 

**We learn from a gentleman Just from New Orleans, that 
measures similar to those at Natches have been adopted bv all 
Ihe towns on lha Mississippi. Tha proceedings at Viclisbnrg 
have kindled a spirit throoghoot the lower country which la 
breaking forth at every poini, and obliging tha btaeklag flVaiaff- 
nlty to make their aaeapa with all haatn«**

Thia act ia premature, a* application had been made to the 

Knerai poaloAce for inatructiona a* to what disposition ahould 
made or tbeae publicaiiona. If ilie aiMWi^r bad been, that 
tiiere wm no authority to interrupt their pawaie ihroush our

allow our waila u» be laden with thene anarcical puMicationa, 
wrbilo onr ciiixena fold ih^ir arroa and permit the poiHun to 
Cireulale through all the veina and arieriea of nociety at the

ia thia way, let it be performed in open daj tinht and on the 
A/g4woy, and that persona of rcfponaibiliiy and weiicht of cha- 
racter be deputed to act in the name and /or the nood of the 
wkoie of the citizen$. Let uh, if the neceiiaiiy ia inipo>ed on

July a0#4, 1835. 

8ib: Understanding that a report haa been circulated that I 
kave received and retained one of the mi«chi«vou* production* 
which have h^n sent hither from New York— and that this 
report ia partially credited, I b<-g you will have the goodneaa to 
lalbrui my fellow ciliiens through your columns, that I have not 
received and conoeqiiently have not retained any such paper— 
thai I have inquired among the clergymen and student* under 
■ly cliarge, whether any one of them haa received any such 
pffodaciion, and they have aaaured me that not oue haa been 
reeeived by any of tliem. 

I will add, thai I know no Carolinian who more sincerely 
depJorea, mot^ fully condemn* or more serioufly reprobate* I he 
eonducl tif Umm men, wlio by pouring them in upon us, are 
deatroying oer peace and endangering our aafety. Nor do I 
know a eingle Roman Catholic, clerical or lay, with wliom 1 
eoaveraed upon the aubject, who Is not folly determined to use 
bia beat effVirta to prevent the mischief of their interference. I 
reflHia, air, your obedient bumble servant.

[Tbe auapieion againat the bishop was probably caused by a 
aappoacd attachmeat, on his part, to tbe pottljcs and policy of 
Danul 0*CoiiiiBLi., the IriMh "aglutor"— whoae infamous ca- 
laaanica qf tbe whole American people, are well known— and

TlM "Charlealon Mercury** of Jaly 30 aaya— 
We ptiMiabed a few daya since, a notice of the proceedings 
of tbe aati-slavery society in New York threatening to inundate 
tbe aoatbeni atatea with their incendiary publications. That 
threat they have now fulflllrd. By the *teamb<iat, which ar- 
rived here yeaterday Irom New York, Iboosanda of copiea of 
tbeaa InAmoaa publications, consisting of newspapera and 
pampbleia, fliled with the most scandaloua and seditious mat- 
ter, and Illustrated by euitable printi, were received at the post 
ofllee, addreaaed to a numl»er of respectable gentlemen here, 
and aanoag Ibem, we believe the clergy of all denominatiuna. 
Vaat nunbera we are informed, have also been received at the 
poat oOee here, addreaaed to the several poat offices of thia 
and other aoathem and western states especially in Alabama, 
Louisiana, Miasiasippi and Georgia. We give thia information 
in order fa fui our eoutkem friende on their gMord, and to warn 
tbem of Ibe Insidiotta measures now in a courae of execution 
far tbehr deatructioo. We are not prepared at tbia time to 
aaggesi any remedy adequate to tbe suppression of the evil. 
Pertoapa aome further legislation by congresa, in the regiilatinn 
of Ibe poat office, mhlbt be deemed calculated to prevent the 
extension of thia moral pestilence, through the agency of that 
department. The circulation of such papera is already aeverely 
puniab by the lawa of South Carolina; and should any agent 
of tbe northern (knatica, who are endeavoring to spread devaa- 
Ution and ruin through the fkir Aelds of the south be detected 
In Ibe act, be would assuredly expiate bia offence on tbe gal-

white men besides, had been tried— found guilty, and baa no 
doubt that they were hung. The negroes were found guilty 
by a jury composed i>f one hundred men. It was determine 
that It any out- of ihu jurymen had any doubt as to the guilt of 
lliem, they should be acquitted; but it np|»earii that the verdict 
was unHiiiniouft; and iho writer of the l«'ii«;r had no doubt but 
they Hhared the tale of the others. The 34 negroea all belong-

From the Columbui ( Mi$$.) Democratic Pren, 

TUK ATTEMPTED INSraRECTION. 

Various rumors re»pecting thin aiiocious aflair have been cir- 
culated ninong the citizen* of this town for i>everiil days past. 
We are able this morning to give authentic inforiiiati<in up<in ihe 
subject. Below we publiii|i the governor's priK'laniation, which 
we received by the laKt mail from Jackson, and in another co- 
lumn will be found an interehtiiig acrnuni of the **hoirible con- 
spiracy," from the Clinton GHZc-tte. A more diabolical attempt 
—a deeper laid schi me of villainy, was ne.ver brought to light. 
And what adds to its atrociousness, and to the deep felt Indi^ 
nation with which we mu^t contemplate it, is the fact that 
white men were at Ihe head of it. Individuals enjoying all Ihe 
privileges of free citisens, have, with a fiend like iiindness, in- 
stigated the ignorant and generally contented African, to rise 
against their fellow cilizenii,and to eneage in an indiscriminate 
buicherjr of every age and sex? Lanitunge fulls to express the 
indlfEnation, the horror, with which we look upon such Sends, 
for nirn they can hardly be called: ihey must be devoid of all 
the common attributes of human nature. 

PROCLAMATION, 

By H. O. Runneb, goremor oj the state of Mississippi. 
Whereas it has been represented to the executive, thai there 
ia a band of lawless, base, villainous white men traversing the 
country, endenvoring to gel up an insurrection among oar 
slaves: And whereas, it has been further repiesented lo the 
executive, that dii>closures have been made by those concern- 
ed, well calculated to excite the most serious apprehensiona 
that a widely extended conspiracy is on foot, calculated to pro- 
duce an alarm, and cull forth tbe vigilance and energy of oar 
people: 

1 do therefore issue this proclamation, exhorting all good 
ciiizena, and commanding Ihe officers, both civil and military, 
to use the most untiring vigilance to suppress all such insur- 
rectionary movements, and to apprehend all snch snspicioaa 
persons, and deliver them over to the proper authorities, that 
they may be brought to condign punishment. To which end I 
especially call on the members of the board of police of each 
county and district, to exert the authority given to ihem by an 
act of the legislature of the i25th December, 1833, of organiaingt 
in their rcapective beats, active and efficient patndes. I repeat 
the Importance and necessity of much vigilance in all quariera 
of the etate; and should it become necessary, I do hereby order 
'ihe quartermaster general, and each of the assistant quarter- 
masters general, to deliver the arms of the state into the hands 
of the people for their deftnce, taking the receipts of responsi- 
ble persons for the same, and at the aame time having due re- 
gard to Ibe proper distribution according to the exigenciea of 
tbe case. 

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my band, ami 
caused the great seal of the suie to be hereunto affixed, 
at Jackson, July 13, 1835. H. G. RUNNELS. 

wBy tbe governor: 

David Dicisox, secretary of state. 

From the ainton (Miss.) Gaxette, 

HORRIBLE CONSPIRaCT! 

8ince Ihe commencement of our editorial labors, we have 
not been thrust upon the performance of a duty so melancholy 
as that to which we are called at the present time. 

A few days anterior to ihe 4th of July, various cironmstancea 
excited some suspicion in the minds of a few respectable citi- 
zens of Madiaon county, in the neighborhood of Beattie's BlulT, 
of an insurrection among the slaves of thai settlement being 
about lo occur. Several slave* were ai different limes over- 
lieArd, whilst engaged in secret cooversatinn relative to Ihe 
proposed plot. A scrutiny, snch as the crisis seemed to de- 
mand, was forthwith instituted, which led to ihe development 
of fkcu of a most sunling and extraordinary character. It waa 
very soon ascertained in the pmgiessof the examination wlileb 
ensued, that two individuals by name Cotton and Saunders, 
both of them steam dociors by profession, were prominently 
concerned in this nefarious scheme. Both these individuals 
were immediately apprehended. A large meeting of the citi- 
zen* of Madison county was held, to deliberate upon the mo- 
mentoua crisis which had arisen, at which it was unanimously 
resolved thai a committee of invesitgatinn should be immedi- 
ately organized in the name, and upon tbe responsibility of Ihe 
whole body of Ihe citizens, lo use all neceasary mean* for fer- 
reting out thia nefarious plot, and bringing the oflenders to a 
apeedy Justice. This committee thus organized, compoaed of 
13 of the most respectable citizens of the county, men of ele- 
vated alanding in tlie community, for moral wonh, integrity 
and discretion, proceeded as soon as possible, to the task as- 
signed them; and discovering that the evidences of a conspira- 
cy having been formed, were perfectly conclusive, and that Iba 
Kill of Cotton and Saundera waa placed beyono donbl, with 
I lilUe dalgy,orderad then to a pttMk execuilon^bv I

INSURRECTION IN CUBA. 
Fnm Ihe New York Courier if Enquirer. 

We have been favored with the following extract of a letter, 
giving a more detailed account than has yet been published, of 
Ihe disturbances among the negroes in the vicinity of Havana. 
HavanOf July 17/A, 1835. 

When you hear of the diffleulties we have had here amongst 
Ihe slaves, let it not alarm you, as the aflTalr was of no conse- 
quence. Aliont 40 negroes <*einancipados,*** probably badly ad- 
vised, thought they would sooner obtain their frefdom by rising 
•pon those who kept them, and mannni-reing all the while peo- 
ple they might meet on the hizh road almut three miles from Ihe 
city. Ax soon an llii* alarm wsii given, the cavalry marched to 
the spfit, led on by governor Tncon in pemon; orders were given 
not to spare one. They were then soiin dij*persed and massa- 
cred in their turn. Some of ihem made a brutiil resiflnnre and 
threw themselves like wild bea»ts on the hornes, and preferring 
to be abMlutely cut Inio pieces rather than suirender. Others 
fled, and a good many were ni.-ide prisoners. About eighteen 
or twenty lives have been lost— five of wliirh were whiles, the 
rest negroes. This happened on Sunday the 1 2th insi. at one 
o*clO(-k in the afternoon. On Tucfday the 14ih, at the same 
kanr and almost on the same spot, negro slaves carrying water 
either in«nl|ed or threatened a sentinel who was shot dead. 
Immediately afterwards a free negro woman having sftme pro- 
perty, and who was called by the blacks la Aeyna, was made 
prisoner, as well as five more free negroes, who were lound 
coneeali^ in her dwelling with muKkeL* and swords. Amongst 
Ihem there is one negro from Jamaica, and another from St. 
Domingo. 

Six of the negroes who- revolted on Sunday, were rhoi yes- 
terday at 5 o'clock In the afternoon. There are itill many more 
to lie executed.

THE FAR WEST. 
From Ike lUinoit Register. 

We have been ptilitfly furniithed by O. H. BrowDing, eaq. 
with the following interesting extract from a letter addrcswed 
lo him Iroin Canioninent Leavenworth, by a gentleman who 
accompanied the United titntesdiagoons. in the summer i^ 1834, 
in their expedition to ilie Pawnee villages. The extract cor- 
lains some new and enieriaininc historical facts, as also • gra- 
phic desciiptifin of the scenery presented at the Pawnee Peaks; 
and we diiubi not will be perui-ed with interest by our readera. 

**Oii the 19ih of July we again n*sumed our march under the 
guidance of the above named Pawnve M<ihaw, who, to my 
mind, proved himaeifio be a treacherous villain; for he led im 
a circuitous route of three days, over an excessively rn

rocky country, and amid inconveniences of every deacripiiua, 
when, on our return to the encampment, we traversed • beav- 
tilul prairie, and found the distance not to exceed forty-ivB 
niilea. Yet I, fur one, did not regret it, for our way ted through 
scenery not exceeded— I hardly believe rqunllpd. I have read 
of the Alps, and have seen paintings of the inort celebrated por- 
tions of Alpine scenery. The Alps are higher; but in subllmiiy. 
grandeur and general effect, they mu$t, and in time wiii, yield 
the palm t<» the hitherto unknown, uiivisited Pawnee Peaks. 
Here the gradual swell, the beetling precipice, the castellated 
biitilement, the solitary tower, the glittering, roaring cascade, 
the shady vale and opening viiita, dii>ch)sing in Its turn distant 
views of new grandeur— all, all the rich combinations of moun- 
tain scenery are here thrown together, forming an unrivRllcd 
wlnde, which, in years to come, will be the goal of all travel- 
lers on earth. 

**On Ihe evening of the 91 ft we reached the goal of oar e»- 
terprixe, the loug-'^nnght Pawnee village. Here waa new mai- 
trr of wonder. We approached a sweep of periiendicular 
mountains, whose tops are wholly inaccessible to the human 
foot from this side, and reached the villnte thioogh tlie passage 
which leads to li, a narrow defile, which one hundred good 
men, with a proper arniaineni, and n good engineer, could keep 
against the countless legions that Nnpideun led lo Moscow. 

"After passing through this deflle, we iininediaiely entered 
the village, silnaled in a benntifnl hotloin, «>n the margin Of • 
river, sup|H»sed, by some, to he main Red river, but which is 
only n principal fork oliliat Mreani. 

'*Like others of the Miuthern rivers, its bottom Is a flat bed of 
fine sand that maintains nrnily the same level all the way 
acro!<s, the water now but a few inches deep, yel, M«/tf a lh« 
water of other rivrri*, this is nearly as rait as Ihe water of Ihe 
Kanawha saline. When this stream is full, it is 500 yards wide, 
and about ten feet deep. The nniivrs ray that the mm\\ lasto 
proceeds from great beds of rock salt aliout twenty miles above, 
and exhiluied to us quaniiiies that tliey had procurrd there. 
Our arrivsl here w.is timely; for we were hungry, and had no- 
thing to eat. They had plenty of com Just in good enting or- 
der, pumphins, «quashes, water nnd inuskmelnns, together with 
dried bufTalo and horse meat. Fi»r supplies of these articles w« 
gave them tohscco, iin nips, buiioiK. the yellow stripea frofli 
oiir panialfHMis, &c. but when we ofTered theoi money, Ihey 
lanshed at us, fi»r ih*»e unsophi<<ticnted beings knew not its 
value. V\ hen we eould explain to iliem the nie of any IhiBf, 
they would iinde for it; but as we could not make them aesai- 
ble of Ihe u«e of money, none of it would they have. 

*'They rail iheuHeives Towea Indians, and appear amhiMe 
and indutiriouj. The women are beauties, yes, real flrat 
r.ile, light copper briiuiies, for devil take the ugly one that [ 
saw, ihni was less than a 'eenlurion,' which word, a schnol 
mate of mine onre defined to be a peiion one hundred yeere 
old, and got flogfled for his pains.

LAST HOURS or JOHN RANDOLPH. 

Th« Richmoiiil C'liiritrr roniaiiii the fnllnwiiiK copy of the de- 
position of Dr. Parrifh, the phvuician who atlriuled the l.ite 
Jfrfin Randidph in hiit lasi niouientii. It wa^ read before thege- 
■eral court at Richmond, during the trial of the will of the de- 
ceased: 

*'Joseph Parrish, of the ciiy of PliiUdelphia, doctor of medi 
cine, aged flfty-Ave years nr ihere»bniii>, beini; pr<Mlureri, af- 
flrined and examined on hehnlf of Willinin Meade, named in 
the annexed commisfiim, dep<Meih as follows: That beJnK i<^- 
gally required to make a de|iOi>ition relative to John Randolph 
of Roanoke, i hereby slate iny recollection of itnch incident* as 
I ciNisider calculated to » how the state ul his mind during the 
period of my medical atieiiilanie. 

•*Jolin Randolph died under my meilical care on the morning 
of Ihe fifth immth, (Mny) iwenlv-fourth, eighteen hundred and 
iJMny -thrse, at one <)uarter before twelve oVIock. He breath- 
ed bis iofit in a chamber of the City floiel. No. 41 North Third 
atrret. I was pre^ent at his departure, closed his eyes and 
placed his limbs in a decent pOKition. I was called lo visit 
him on the twenlieili of s:iid month by Edmund Badser, one nf 
the proprietors of the City Hotel, ft wa4 a 9<tormy nicht— the 
palient had arrived that afl«'rn<Nin in the nteauiboat from Balli- 
niiKfi. He was bound for Kiirope, and had been diHappoinled 
in gettini on iNiard llie packet. He soon informed me thai he 
was acquainted Willi me by character — 'I know you ihroueh 
Giles' — alludins, I preKiuiie, to William H. («iiei>, late eovernor 
of Virginia, rexpeeiing whow cawe I wa^ rep«'atedly consult 
«^. The fiatieiit ap|H'ared much di!<iiirbed,on account of Home 
difficullies he had encimntered after leavuic the HteamlHiat. Il 
was evident he wa^ extremely ill: his debility wa-* ciirh, that it 
was with great ditficulty he coold r.ipei'torate, whioh caused 
icucli distret>« ill respiration. He appeared fully aware of his 
danger — told lye he liad fitiendid several courses of lectures on 
auatoiny— dencribed his syinptimis with medical aceurucy, de- 
claring he niu"! die if hr could not discharge the puiilbrin mat- 
ter. On inquiring how Ions he had been fick. h«i replied, 
<l>on*l a»k me that question; I have been sick all my life.' 
He aoon told, however, that he bad been afTected for three 
years with his piesent di-iea^, which had been cn*aily agitra 
valed by his voyage to Rurt>ia— 'thiir had killed him.' On 
feeling his pulse, he said, 'You can form no Judgment by my 
pulse, il is so peculiar.' I soon perceived, that to manage the 
cas« before me wrmid be like sit-erins between ac>lla and 
Cbarybdis, and concluded to proceed by cautious soundings, 
railier tiian advance under full sail. 

'*! told him he had been so long an invalid he must have ac 
quired an accurate knowledge of the Reneral coume of practice 
adapted to his case. Hi> replied, 'certainly, at forty a IVniI or a 
physician, you know.' I remarked there were idio«yiicracie« 
in many coD4iiiutiim<i, and wii.|ied to aitcertain what was pe- 
culiar about him. He said,'! have been an idioi«yncracy all 
my life.' This appeared truly a moHt trite and correct view of 
die subject, although the quereiit did not c(m<*ider it n»:cessary 
lo give a concurring reply. He informed me that all the prepa 
rations of camphor invariable injured him, and as to ether, *it 
would blow me up.' Not so of opium and its pre|>arationN. for 
I soon discovered he was acruttomed to the free use of this 
drag In some form or other. On one occanion he told me that 
be either did or could (1 am not clear as to the words did or 
couU) take opium like a Turk; but I certainly receivc-d from 
bim the impression, that he was in the habitual use of opium 
in som? shape or other. His conversation was curiously di 
versified, and he complained with no small asperity of the dif 
ficuliies he encountered after leaving the steamb«>at. He was 
pot into a wretched hack— the glass of the carriaie was broken 
^lie had been obliged to go from one hotel to another, in 
aearch of lodging, exp«ised io the peliings of the storm— and 
every thing was in a ftale of diKComfort. He siMm intriNluced 
the subject of the Quakers, complimenting lis in his peculiar 
manner for neatness, economy, order, comfort in every thing, 
right in every thing except politics— 'there, always twislical.* 
Bftfbre I retired he repeated a portion of tbe liuny ofibe Epla- 
eop«l ckarcb, witli apparent fiirvor. Tbe fbllowing aionio|> 



he sent for me early— I was called from bed. He apologised 
handM>niely for disturbing me; and from this period we appear- 
td iiiiiluaily to enter into our new acqiininiance in the capaci- 
ty ol patient and pliyi^iriiin. After con>iderable experience In 
sick chambers and deutlibeds, I may liay, I never met with • 
i'haraeter so perfectly original and unique. He might iOm€' 
limes be compared to a s|>Oiled and fractious child; but a little 
obicervation cimvinced me, ihat in Ihe midst of his extreme 
con<«litulional iriiiability, petulence, impatience and sarcasm, 
there were some noble trails of character. Among these, waa 
a keen sense of propriety. And wlieu this was greatly appeal- 
ed to, there was u disposition to be convinced and acknowledge 
indiscretions. 

*'On more than one occasion, It seemed proper for the patient 
to i^iiderntand, that while hi<« phy-ieian felt every dii^position 
to Ileal hini with kindness and re*:(N!ct, he was not insensible 
to what wan due to iiiiniell. On mie occasion when 1 propoa- 
ed someiliing lor hix relief, he petulantly and positively refus- 
ed compliance. I paused, and addressed a few words to him. 
Hif good ceniie predomiiiatrd; he apologized, and wan as sub- 
mixKive as an infant. One evening I proiMijced a medical con- 
^ulta||on, leaving the choice to himi^elf. With an assurance of 
entire confidence in bis medical attendant he promptly object- 
ed to the priipoiial, with the remark, <lii muliiliide of cfNincll. 
there is confubion: it leads to weakness and indecision: the 
palient may die while ihe doctors are rlaiing at each other.* Co 
parting with him, and especially at nigbi, I would receive the 
kindcKt acknowledgment'* In the most afTectionate tones, gene- 
rally wjih the addition, 'fjod ble«syou— he doeH blens you — and 
and he will bless you.' It seems as if his disposition to criticise 
on the prnnunciaiinii of words could not be reHirained underany 
< ircnuiftances nf bodily •(uti'ering or imimdiate danger of death. 
The sliebteft deviation from his suiiidard of propiieiy must be 
met and corrected. In Ihe application of words to convey 
idea«, he was extremely eiact. He once remarked to me, that 
alihoiicti the French was a vile language, yet it waa preferable 
to any other for treaties and public docum«-nis, because every 
word'wati in it:* exait place — 'no double meaning — there It 
ftand:!.' I'he night preceding his death, I passed about two 
h<iurs in liiit chamber. He t(dd me in n plaintive tone, that 
his poor Jfdin was worn down with faligue, and compelled to 
go to bed. A moi^t attentive substitute supplied his place; but 
neither he nor I were like John, who knew where to place bia 
hand on any thing in a large quantity of baggage prepared fbr 
nn European voyage. The patitnt was greatly distressed in 
breathing, in con.-tequence of diflltcult expectoration, and re- 
que-iied me. at my next viMit, lo bring instrumertts for perform- 
ing the operation of bronehotcimy, for he could not live onlesa 
relieved. Yet, in Ihe sanie interview, he directed a certain 
new«pni>er to be brought to him. Il was found, after a dif- 
ficult nearch. He put on his iipectacles, as he sat propp«^d op 
in bed. turned over the paper several times, and examined u 
carefully; then placed his finger on a part he had selected, and 
handed it to me. with a request that I would read it. It waa 
headed 'Cherokee.' In the courgie of reading, I came to the 
word 'Omnipotence.' I gave it the full sound, Omnipotence. 
He checked me in-iiantly— repeating it according t(» Walkt r. I 
gave my reafums for pronmincing it an I did. He did not rebut 
hut quickly Nnid, 'pass on.' Not long after, I pronounced the 
word 'impetus* with the e long. He corrected me Iniitanlly. 
I hesitated on his criticism; and in nn inquiring and doubtful 
tone, repeated the word ax he had pnmonnced it. He sharply 
replit'd, •There can be no doubt of it.' An immediate acknow- 
lerisment of the reader, that he stood corrected, app«>ared tosa- 
tiKfy the critic, and the |iieee wa>* concluded. I now observed 
to him, there wa;' a great deal of iiubliniity in the comp«>sition. 
He directly reft rred me lo the Mosaic account of creation, and 
repealed, 'Let there be light, and there was light.' 'There 
is sublimity.* He i^poke, in this interview, of the hianders and 
lies that had been published againnt him in the ncwspapert. 
Even his domestic arrangement*, his silver cup*, lie. had been 
noticed, when every one might know, that uilver waa more 
economical than highly flni>hed china or cut glass, that waa 
liable to be broken. I believe the patient never fully relin- 
quished his hold on life, until the day he died. It is true, be 
had often said he wa<i dying; he miMt die— or words to that 
elTecl; hut these were ratlier lo be considered as ehullilioM of 
a morbidly irritable mind. The hope of getting oflT to Europe 
Ktill lingered with him. In proof I will state, that perhaps on 
Ihe third day of my attendance, he informed me that he intend- 
ed lo go on to New York the next morning, and wii>hed my bill 
to be left at the bar. I understood it to be his intention lo em- 
bark at New York for Europe. Instead of going In the morningf 
as he expected, he was so extremely ill in the night that I wna 
called from my bed to visit him. He also requested me IO 
have some sulphate of morphia, which he had in bia posaea- 
sion as a pure Imported article, divided into papera of one 
grain each. This was done by my direction at the apotheenrj 
store of Charles Ellis, No. M Chennut street, who pat np my 
prescript ionM for the patient. The morning of the day tiMt 
John Randnlph died, I received an early and an urgent mea- 
sage to vifit him. Several persons were in the room, but soon 
left it, except his servant John, who appeared affected at tbe 
situation of hi<i dying master, f remarked to John soon after I 
arrived, lhat 1 had seen his master very low several timea be- 
fore and he had revived, and perhaps he would again. The 
patient dirvcily said, 'John knows better than that.' The in- 
terview of Uiia morning waa peculiarly ImproMive. I hai oot

pcrliajis, it will, for a while, ato[i — but not long: and it 
lakes 111 a wide run^e of veiy fiffht goods, as well aa be* 
vcrteens and other heatry and subslatitial articles for the 
use of working men, and othera, who wiih to clothe 
themselves cheaply — the prices of all which are very 
moderate. As to the light goods, in which it was supposed 
that we could not exccd, we know a large establiihment 
that uses only 1,000 lbs« of yarn, but makes from 7 to 
8,000 »fjuare yards of cloth, weekly* Many great mill*

The wool crop of the present year was ]trobably worth 
twtnly*five millions— ^and, as a general C4«lcnbtiun, of ita 
munulactures, kbont filty mjllions. New York fnrniiihet 
the largest supply ol wool. There were 3,4U6,53U slieep 
in 1825— now, probably, 7,t>D0,il00i as will be soon ascei^ 
tained, this being the year of the state cun«iis. A'ermont 
has, perhaps, 1,5tX\tXK) — ^and they are nufueious in niany 
ol the easleni, miildle and western btwits. The nuhU du- 
ly p4i\able on woollens and more ju&i ^Mluaiion of the £ 
sterling, with improvements in (he collection of iliein — 
[lie rise of price oti Uritifth goods, und llie use of tirwijr 
invented American machiiiery, bet. have caused the ma« 
nnf^cltire of wool to he a **lair btifriness." The range 
of woollen goods, as those of cotton, has been wideljr 
extendeiL For an iikitunce, four-fifths of (he ear|)et« 
used, are '*home made^' — the duty on aoarsc wool hein|f 
abolished, I'hey aitr cheaper and better than the iiu- 
ported, and e(|ually beautiful. 

The maiiufaclnres of lealher and iron, (not including 
the common smith work, as to the latter), are worth 
tkot less than eighty mithons a year. But we shall not 
go jiilo details, or even notice Other great and valuable 
manufaclures^ust now. 

A tirtp hnsioess is making rapid strides to imports 
ance — the manufacture of giUc. This will he, in five 
years, or less» wnrih from ten (o tweiity imillions a year, 
and give a profitable erwplojment lo vast numhirrs of wo- 
men and children, at thi-ir own lioines. Ah*eady mie

•tand that in-^iirance to the ainounl of 3(M),UU0 dnilnis was ef- 
fected on some of the bnildincrt and other property destroyed, 
bnt (h.it amouiii is nndoublly far xhort of the Iims sll^t•1lned. In 
one fst'ihlishni' iit alone, we are informfd the slock was valued 
•I SlMljftOO. The erwat height of the hiiilrUn8:<, mo^t of which 
were of Ave or «ix stories, rendered the exertions of the flre- 
Boen almosi ineffectual. 

But the moat painful tidines are yet to be related; lives have 
ba^n l'>st, to the nuniber at lea.41 of four, and it is feared that 
others h.iVK mUo fallen vietinn. The names of the four whose 
fate is a«(ceriained, arc as follnw;*: 

Oav'd Carli«le, and Daniel D. Wyatt, printers, working for 
. Mr. Turnev, 115 Fulton street. 'I'liey lodced in the fi(\h story 
of the bnildiiif, and were both hurnl to death. 

Samuel Bliineliard, ma«ter bookbinder; he lodsed in the fourth 
■tnry of the $nnie buildinji, and h-apin^ from tlie window, was 
•o dreadfully injured that he died in fiileen minutes. 

TtH« fourth was a colored man, name unknown; he woi burl- 
ed under the ruinn of one of the fallen walls. 

Besides these, Mr. £. B. Taylor, fireman of No. 40, was se- 
wcly burned, as was also a member of No. S8, name believed 
to be Gaston. 

Then follows a long list of buildings destroyed. The 
••American" say^— 

Thia fire, the most disastrous as to the amount of property 
destroyed, which has occurred here in many years, Is still more 
dtaofllrovi to the mechanics of the city— who are, to the num- 
ber of nearly 3,00U persons — men, women and children— 
tbrown out of employ. 

The buildinfs destroyed were most of them occupied, whol- 
>jr, or in part, as work shops— and there cannot be fewer than 
!B0 or 300 printera^ and nearly twice as many peroons employ- 
ed in -the book binderie^i of the other shops, we are entirely un- 
able to speak of the nu^nbers employed, it is however very 
freat, and the snflTrrinK of those families which dep<>nd U{ion 
their daily labor must be very treat, and it calls for the prompt 
and liberal aid of those who enjoy a competence. 

One peronn, it is known, was killed by Juinpinf from a fourth 
story window, and others, it is feared, have also fallen victims 
to the conflacration. Mr. Carlisle, an aced printer, is missing, 
and it is much feared that he was buried in the ruins. 

The loss of property by tl)is fire Is variously estimated from 
fSOO.OOO to 750,000. 

From information in our possession, we are enabled to say 
that the amount of inturane* in the different offices, does not 
vafj much from $315,000. 

A paper in the interior of New York speaking of Uli- 
ca, calls it the **fiiture en])ital of the state." Ifgcogra- 
phical position gives a claim to this distinction, the pro- 
phecy is likely to be fulfilled, for this prosperous town 
IB tittiated as nearly in the centre of New York, as the ir- 
re^larity of the empire ■tate*s territorial form will ad- 
mit of. 

liVTvnuiTnro tact. General Harrison, says the Cin- 
cinnati Whig, in the course of his speech delivered at 
Lafayette, Indiana, during his last visit to that place, 
made the following remarks, by which we are put in 
posaeuion of a very intercHting fact. 

••The idea was a happy one expressed by a distin- 
guished citizen of our own country, in his address to the 
veteran Lafayette, *that he had seen posterity.* That 
tame good fortune said general H. was hit. It would 
seem almost incredible that the speaker liad at one time 
been the sole representative in the councils of the nation 
of the territory which now forms Ohio, Indiana, Illinois 
and Michigan — nay more thnt he had once been the 
chief executive officer of the region last named, with the 
addition of Missouri and Arkansas— of a territory ex- 
tending from the warm elimate where sugar and eotton 



are producetl, to the cold country of tha north wlityj 
corn will scarcely grow." 

Am iXTearsTixo CASE. The Rritish brie Governor Temple

They all appear happy, and anxious to get back to their native

FaoM LiBRaiA. The New York Journal of Commerce stataa 
that the hri« Rover, at that p«il, left Liheria on tl»e 16lh .^ay, 
havinc arrived there on the 34) from New Orleann, with 71 co- 
lored emixrants. They were generally in excellent health, both 
during the passage and after their arrival. There had been 
only one death among then:, and that was by conNumption* 
The name of the sufferer was Arini.'<ted Price. The greater por- 
tion of them had gtme 15 miles up the river to MilUhursh, where 
they will lemain until tha rainy heasou is over. The. health of 
the colony was excellent; and the colonists apparently content- 
ed and prosperous. The wars among the adjacent native tribea 
had been terminated— and a lew days before the Rover's depar- 
ture, 300 nr 400 01 them came into Liheria with camwood, fco. 
which they carried on their backs. Captain Outerbiidge statM 
that he saw nothing which looked like intemperance in the co- 
lony, and heard no profane language. Most of the colonistSf be 
thinks, are members of the Temperance society. 

CniJiANOO CANAL LOAH. Yeifierday wa* the day for opening 
the proposals for the Chenango canal loan of ^rtOO.OOO by the 
conunifsioners of canal fund. The following oflers were made 
for this loan, being 5 per cent, stock, reimbursable after 1845,

Th« gold coinaoi. In the course of a lecture on metals ai 
the royal institution, in Lond.m, professor Faraday staled the 
following'curious particulars ri>i>pecting the gold coinage. A 
small ingot of gold, (which he held in his hand, and which 
ineaKured about tm inches in length by two in breadth), whicll 
wcighi'd about twenty pounds troy, was worth £1,000. Last 
year, 1834, the coinage was somewhat smaller than the average 
amount; onlv half sovereigns were coined, and thrtse to the %a- 
lue of £66.944, nr in weight 1,433 pounds troy. The qnanlltf 
of gold that had parsed through the mint since the accession of 
queen Elisabeth to the throne, in the year 1558, to the end of 
last year, was 3.a'>3.568 |>ouiid« weight troy. Of this, nearly 
one half was coined in the reicn of Genrga Ill^namrly^ 
1^^94,078 pounds troy. The value nf the gold coined in the 
reien of that sovereign was £74,501,5^6- The total value of 
the gold coin issued from the mint isince 1,V>8, was $154,709,385. 
This gold, if made into cubic form, would measure on each side

NARRATIVE OF EVENTS— IN BALTIMORE."

ytars nt happif obedience to the iavf — BMllimore having 
been, fiooi tJie time of the wur-riots of 1812, reroariable 
for the: pe«ceahle demeunor of iti inbabitanls, an<l tbt 
tafvty and security, and iierlect quiet, of all ita pO|)ula« 
lion. We were not entirely exempt from c-xcUemciiJfi, 
on aeveral occasions — but ihcy were ^*few aixl far ht*

of o»r recollection; tlimi^h iome occasions bad liNtipenr^ 
in wIdcU tbe public iiatieiice i»as aeverely and trueHg 
IvUhL* 

Tbc OJ^nw/Afe ground of the late rioli in Bailiinore^ 
was ill the uffairv of the bank of MaryUiiil, thou|;h ve 
bctie¥e that oiber tlii(iK» were mfjre at the bottom of 
tlictn; together with that general dispoaition to violence 
ihtit prcvaili at m manv pi nee b. We thall not prcleiid « 
lo account for it. WheUier the effect i« Am*mc»£fl 
belongs to certain nccidental cauics— *he foandailiQni C 
wliicli are deeply taidf to piwlyce the elementf of «Oltf<B' 
&ioti and end their record in btood: and then» perchfei 
to he followed by a reaction that ia peaceful and renisrlb"^ 
ably kind. But it requires a long time to re-^in loill 
eliaracler — ^and to repsur the iiij»rieB inflicted in a stnglij 
hour of misrule. We nhalll be agnin called **tQob-to«n, 
and eannot deny ibkt we deaerve it. ft ia nothing till" 
othffr placei arc equally guilty. It afford a no vxcu%t f 
UB, that worte things have recently bnp|Mrncd iti other « 
tiet. We iJiould have respected the law — even if of opi^ 
nion that il shielded bad men; ccH;«ii^ly koowing that if 
alao protected the worthy^ and was the *oarcc of the glO*l

are di turned,, and must remain so — while the ihio^ tW 
have bceo proclaimed, and performed, are Treab lo 
mernb ranee. 

But to the narrative. The ground of the rioten, 0**^l 
ing by their piiinary actions), was in the afTalra of thtl 
hank of Maryland— \he history of which it that of one « 
tlie most atu|irndou8 and j^evierD/ fraud i evei'oommiited 
bejiring especially hard upon the induftrioua poor; ioduo

whom the Lacedemoniani said— ***we have forgotten the 
be^inmttg of thy barangney lu eon sequence ot which not 
bAving been able to understaitd the mi^Jdle, we cannnt

The meeting then sdjourned. 

The moiion of Mr. Thomnt^ at we understand, wai 
passed by acclamation^ at«rl here it it proper to say that 
ihe trtislet'i alluded to were Jo/tn B, JuorriM and ii. IJ' 
Qitli esqa. The first well known for hi& honnruble adjutt- 
mentof theaftliirs nf the "City bank," which failed se*«- 
ral years ago, (and of which he had been the aolt uuslee), ^ 
and almost universally beloved — and llie second a dis* WL 
liiiguiihed gentleman of the bar. Mr, l^kamai ElUcvUp H 
the other trustee, had, long before, made known hia wtl- ^ 
lingnes^ lo relifiqiiisb his trust, and throw ihe whole oon- 
cern into tbe hands of Ihe creditors of the bunk. But 
Messrs. Morris and Gill thought that ibey contd not do 
io, wiehout encotinlering a peeuniary responsibility that 
they were tmwilling to meet^tlte best legal advice hav- 
ing been taken; nor were they tatiiBed that such was Ihe 
wi&h of a majority of the creditors of the bank; and it 
would, therefore, appear like an abandonfTief*! of the just 
claimants upon the institution; but were eieeedjngljr 
anxinus to relieve themselves ol the concern. And wo 
had it from Mr. Aiorrii, on Saturday ihe SEh,tliat he ne* 
ver refuse tl acoeis to the books In any ereditnr nho wat 
pleased to demand it, and he thought that ibis w»ii all tlmt 
he could rigbtfLilly, and, with a dtie regjird to his own 
safety, do. Had this been generally known, we lhi»ik 
thfltliis property would not have been molested.* Mr. J 
Gill was absent from the ctiy, on some business at Anna- H 
polis, and had not any opportunity of being hejud on th« ^ 
oce»iiionrOr of advising witli his colleagtje. 

'i'n resume tbe narrative. On Friday evening, tbe 7th> 
the mayor was on the frpound, in Monument Square, at- 
tended by Ihe eity haihlffl^ the vatdirnen, and many cili- 
leni, for hit support. The crowd wasnuich larger than 
on the preceding night, and more {laiies of gla^s were 
broken. They were addressed by the mayor, and by 
gen. If. Jonejr, of Wastiington, who happened to be in 
the city. They were respectfully lifteried lo, and the 
crowd dispersed at about II o*clock. But now the de- 
signs of the rioters began to develope themselves; att4 
many of the citizens, attached to the mayor^s part?, havins 
mi led with the crowd to learn what I bey eotiid, slated 
that it WHS intended, on the following night, to make a 
serioui nltack on Mr. Johnion** home, and then, to finish* 
for the preaenl, by allacking that of Mr. John Glain^ in 
Charles street. The events of that evcnine: were, there- 
fore, looked to with fearful anxiety. Tlie following pub- 
lications ap[ieared on Satunlay—

lli« minion* ol power, an the recompense uf their obvdience ol 
iU diclaten. li is by thin conibinaiion of u»uiped power and 
corrupt patronage thai the two homes of congreM have he^n 
bumltled into Bubinission to him who now "rid*-8 the whirlwind 
aod direct* the storm." The law roakinit power han been thu» 
gnuped in a single hand, and it would be lur better if he, with 
Iba aid of the Judges of the supreme court and the aiioriiey ge- 
neral, should at once form the laws and promulgaie them by 
proclamation among ihf. people. 8uch a proc«-tfs would render 
our governinifnt a Kiniple inuciiine, and relieve um from the |ia- 
geaniry and ezpenxe oi a nomiiuil legi^ldiive body. 

Folluwing the march of cimftruciive powers, which, in the 
name and by the anihoriiy of the high priei>t of Hits gi»^ui *'de- 
mocrafic" parly, have been interpolated on our Hyiiiein, 1 will 
detain you a short time, while 1 compare the powers now a:*- 
■ened to be inherent m the pre*idt:ni, with those delegated in 
Uie constitution to the EXECUTIVE drpnrtuienl. I'lie Kume 
geoeral pliranes whith were u^ed to ve»t in congress all legiifla- 
tive poweri*, are employed in desisnating ihe president as llie 
depository of all extcuiive powers, and the snine rule of con- 
■iraciion is applicable to both. The denign of the fiauiers of the 
coattitution and of the statei*, at the time o( its adoption, was to 
ereaie a limited gnvernnient, with Kpecifled and detf ned powers, 
Ibe execution of which was entrusted to three separate and dis 
liAct brancheii, each independent of the others, except mi far 
•e Ihey may have been required to unite in (he performance ol 
the aame duties. Thus we see in article 1. sec. 8, a speciAa 
Iton of all Uie powers properly belonging to congreKs, which 
concludes with a general grant **lo make all laws which may 
b« necessary and prop«-r to carry into effect the foregoing 
powers, &c.'* In the second article is contained alike enu- 
oieralion of the powers and duties of the prei'idenl, and in the 
third article Ihe Jurisdiction of ihe supreme and inferior courts is 
carefully defined, so that nothing in either catie ^hould he lelt 
uncertain, and ^ubject to be enlarged by vague consiruciion. 
Tbe idea of inherent power* in either deparimeni, is utterly 
Inconsistent with the whole theory and character of the go 
vernment, and was never once mrniioned as a source from 
wbk'h p«iwers could be drawn in any coniincency, t-iiher by 
the advocates or np|K)neni« oi the comiiitiilion. All the ixiwers 
not expreuly delegated were '^rtKerved to the states, res|>ec 
tivi-ly, or Hit; people" in thei/ sovereign capacity. Such a go 
vemnient. honestly and faiihlully admin mtered would endure 
to the end of time, and continue to be, as it has been, the ad 
miration of mankind. But the towering ambition of the present 
Chief magistrate disdains to he confined within Ihe narrow ii 
■lita of the granted powers, and has taken counsel of thn ma- 
gUians and soofAsayert around him, to enlarge the boundaries 
c»f hU authority, and erect new land marks to the co-ordinate 
departuient* with which it is associated. 

These arch advisers, whose sole aim was the prnmniion of 
tbelr own political aspiraiionx, by covering thennelveH with 
the mantle of their popular chief, took every opportunity tti 
flatter his vanity and minister to his appetite, by searching nut 
avenues, heretofore undiscovered, through which he might by 
plaaaible pretexts reach the climax of arbitrary power. The 
■MMt extraordinary of these discoveries is the latent power 
Ibnnd in the phraseology of the r»ath administered to the pre 
■ident OD his induction into office. He swears to "support, 
protect and defend the constituiion," from which is derived 
every power necessary to fuSfil that high and solemn obligation. 
The raeaos are made sukservient to the end, and whenever or 
wherever the president might And the constitution invaded or 
▼Mated, ll at onco became his duty to step forth with his 
■dfhcy arm to **protecl aud defend it.'* This is the very es 
aence of regal power In its widest latitude. George III. of 
Eag land, was advised by a tory miQisiry that his coronation 
oath interposed an insuperable barrier against Catholie eman- 
cipation, and it may be that this precedent served to ciiliihien 
oar modern democratt^ on the abstruse doctrine of executive 
prerogative In this country. Be this a* it may, the same prin 
clple is recognised and asserted in the celebrated protest of th« 
president on the right of the senate to express an opinion on 
anj measure of his administration. It has therefore become a 
part of the democratic creed, and as such is recommended to 
all who belong to the orthodox church. 

Nest lo this comes the broad field of inherent, undefined 
powers which are alleged to have pre existed the constitution, 
and of which the president cannot be deprived by law, without 
an amendment to the consiiiutinn for that express purpose. 
These are brought in aid of constructive powers, and together 
Ibrm tbe basis of supreme power in llie executive head. It is 
pretended that in as much as "all executive power is vested 
n the president,'* he may strictly exercise all such as are of 
tiibt character, whether tbey are among the ennmerated powers 



contained in the grant or not! He may look into tbe elemeniarf 
writer* on national and political law, to find their defloitioaa 
of (he>ie powtrrs, and whatever tail* under the head of executive 
prerogative, Hppi:ilaiitii to lum, becaUH?, forsooih **iill executive 
|M)wers are ve.-ied in the picMiJi'iil" by the very letter uf the 
cun^lltutlon. li this reat>oiiiiig be deemed fround, 1 a^k what 
ii% there lo pieveiii congre-^s Irom the like exi:icii<e ol all legis- 
lative power, ai it in exerciTd and di fined in the parliament 
ol C>n-ai Uriiuin.' The divi.-iuii ol p<iwer between tlieiie two de- 
pannieuiM ik couched »uhsiaijiiully in words uf the same imporl, 
und It It accord:, with iluir lueaiiing, to clothe the president 
with '^all executive power," wiilitiul refeience lu the subse- 
queni limitations on that power in the cun^lituiion, itien 1 con- 
tend, that according to liie liaine inierpreiutiou of that ini>tru- 
iiient, *^all legislative power'* of whatever nature or exinni, 
IS equally granted to "a congress to coiiftst of a senaie and 
house of representative*.** The conclu»ion i* inevitable, and 
il this interpretation ul the con6ttluiton, in eiihrr case i* adopt- 
ed, it annihilates at one fell sweep, ail the checks, which have 
been so cautmu^ly provided lor, lo restrain the action of each 
department within the limits prescribed to it. Nothing can ba 
more ab>uid and ridiculous than this attempt to convert iha 
mere capliuii whuh de^lgnales ihe department to which a cer- 
tain class of power hat as-igni:d, into the subftantive grant of 
every piiwer coming uiidei that definition. We luusi advance 
to the ^peelficallolls which lullow the general word* m the 
commencement of an article in the constiiutiun, tu find it* true 
inient and mcdiiing, and therrtiy niaintain the balance of 
powers between ttie sevi-ral departments if either simuld ea* 
croach on ihe powers specially delegated to ihe oilier*. Thia 
has been considered an axiom under every adminiKiratinn pre- 
ceding the prcfent, and so it muKt continue to be, if we mean 
to preserve our inestimable ayHtem ol government from tlia 
strong arm of a reckless executive. If any man doubt that 
these iniiovatums on constitutional restriciiniis, have been 
claimed by prtf^ident Jackson, let hirn cast his eye* over the 
protest beloie refernd to, and he will there find the broad prin- 
ciple asserted, that the president htdds the custody of the pub- 
lic property, whethrr it consists ol lands, ships, military slures, 
arms and mnnitions of war, bank notes or gidd and silver, 6y 
rtrfue ofpowera inherent in him and vhick jrre-exitted the coi»- 
«f</u/ton, of which tie avers no law which congrrss may paaa 
can deprive him. If this is not enough to MlMy incredulitf 
iti>elf on this snbjtci, there are other stale papers from the aama 
high quaiter, in which Uie same principle of executive prero- 
gative il* maintained. 

Rul the president has not \p(\ his meaning to be inferred from 
his refiealed declarations in relation to his inherent powers* 
It was (Ul this ground that he seited the national treasury, and 
diitrihiiied it among his friend* throughout the union. 1 say 
hie friends^ becaiHe a banking corporation is an ariifieial per- 
son, coniroled by his fi lends, and I know of no legal oblicaiion 
which attaches to an artifit iai being, which d(»es not in all 
respect-' apply to a natural per>nn. Confidence in Ihe ability 
of either to keep and di»biirse the public money would equally 
jnxtify its depotiie with them, and there is in tact no material 
difl*erence between a loan of the money in the treasury wiilinut 
inierost to a stale bank, and -a similar loon to a private indi- 
vidual, provided the president, who had the di-cposal of il, stood 
ready, to *Uake the re»iton*ihit\ty." Inhere is assuredly neither 
law, consiiiuiion, nor usage to Justify the president in this ar- 
bitrary measure. But he violently thrust Ins hand into the 
treasury in despite of all these, and from that day to this, the 
public morals have been corrupted: popular elections have 
turned in his favor in every state, where favoritism and the 
public purse could he hrnughi to bear on the contest; the press 
has been subsidised; and no deed of darkness, whatever might 
he it* enormity, which he or the corps of officeholders under 
him, can commit, throughout Ihe wide extent of the union, 
however clearly detected and ex(>osed, seems to impair in tiia 
slightest decree, the heedless confidence of the people in lila 
administration. 

In Ihe better days of the republic, these thing* would not 
have been permitted to pass, even if done by Washington, with- 
out exciting the indignant frowns of the men who achieved 
the revolution, and who, knowing the price of their liberties, 
knew also iioW to preserve them for their posterity. I speak 
not of the violation of chartered rights, guaranteed by the 
pledged faith of the nation, nor of the toul disregard of the 
trial by jury, In a case properly belonging to the Judicial tribo- 
nals; neither will I dwell on the dangers to be apprehended 
from a union of the purse and the sword of the nation in the 
same hand; because I have oAen heretofore exposed, and in 
the fulnesv of my heart deplored all these Imld usurpations of 
the presitnt incumbent of the executive chair; and besides my 
poor eflToris to rescue the fallen constitution of my country, the 
public sensibility has been appealed to and the Judimentof tha 
people invoked on these mailers, by the high minded, patriotic 
statesmen, who stood in the halls of the two houses of con- 
vress; and to the force of reasoning which has not and eannot 
he answered, Ihey united the vivid lishining of eloquence, 
which ha<i never yet been siirfmssed in any age or country. 
The thtme which animat<>d them was worthy of their nobia 
eflhrls, and to the freemen of the country, the issue has been 
committed, on the delerminatinn of wbich bangs the futart 
destinies of the American people. 

In this enlightened epoch of the civilised world the spirit of 
liberty is abroad; and I venture to predict that if the aonaidi

in lamous rumors, and tht: additiimal colnring tJicy assume as 
tliey art* rept-aii'dly told ur pass ihrtuigh ihe bigoted pagva of 
the sirctarjan pre#s, I deem tt a dniy I owe not only to myseilif, 
but to justice and irnihp to put to i^ilrnre and nhame the ma- 
ligneri of my reputatmni by a. simple statement of the followinf 
facts: 

I* It is a facl« that for the last two yeais and upwnrd, I have 
had no cnnnetion what<:vt:r with the convent a( Ml, Alverniit 
near Alleghenytown, eicepi a* a rart vtaiter, ond even «o by 
special r«i|«iest or In HiaiHui. Willi Che spiritual or trinpural 
director ui that community or their schoul, I have had nori'ilng 
10 do. Neitlier aiu I concerned in ihrtr \\s\b removal. They 
had, and liavt^ to tJiii day» for their choplalot an agt^d priest, the 
rev. r. Van D« Weyer, whose age and acknowlt-dged virtue 
elevate liim above atiapicioni even in IhejavmHced eye of anil'- 
Cathollc denitueni. 

9 It ie a fact that the recent removal of tl»e nuns originateil, 
not from any etp^isure fmia latent vice-— in this they ciiallenfe 
the moot rigid nernmny — hut simply from a family dijtpute about 
nuihiciniy, which they refuiaed to recognise in the periton of iha 
provincial^ the jright ruv, pri^late of Detroit, who, *n conBH-iiuenee 
of that refusal, and as legitimate proprietor of lbe eslAltilsh- 
men I, appointed agents for its manageineni. Of ihe Justice or 
propriety of their removiil. it is not my province, and therefore 
[ foihenr to speak. But tliir I psy, iliatio the pieiy and virtue 
Dl ittese fttmati-t!, howi'vrr ihey may be mtstaken on n point of 
Jurisdjciiun, there aie many unsuspected and irreproachable 
withctaes. 

3. It Is a fact known to more than 2,000 persons present on 
the occasion, that on Trinity i^unday, the 4th of June, 1 an* 
nonnced from th*^ pal pit in St. Paurs church, my IntenUon to 
retire on a fonr o/Ara/fA for a few weeks, during whieh the 
rev. Mr. UarreiJ had agreed to oOieiate in n»y place. Many 
ProiesinnU and potne Prcshyicrian niinisleni were present al 
the lime in the church, who can testily to the fact. My dspar- 
ture iln?f«ffjre, could not be tvrmvd an ♦•etoj/i-metit," nor could 
il be a "^secrel*' or **my#lery*' to any one in Pittsburgh, who 
waa curious to know, snvc to th'^ae '^^ drc n m c rs ^f dreams,^' 
those bigotrd slanderers, virho to acccunpbsh their end do not 
ecru pic to blacken the fniresi chafacif'rs, by the moai wantonly 
wicki-d fabrications, li it well known that Bince the death of 
the lev, Mr Maguire, I have been atone in sustain tlie pastoral 
charge of one of ihc lorgesi congregations perhaps in the United 
Slates. And to one,, who knows any thing of the duties of a 
Catholic pastor, it cannot appear strange, if a temporary respite 
should be deenird expedient. To me it was necessary* How 
unjust then^how barbaroufl and vticked tr> seize on the clrcotn- 
mancea of my absence, and publish it to the world, as Uit r«* 
suit of aggravated infamy about to be exposed,' Binca my eta- 
vation, unworthy as I may be, to the Catholic ministry of thia 
•late, my flock as well as my honor boa bpen as dear to mo a» 
life, and many are the pledges tn my possession of alTeetioii re- 
ciproeaied. Let then the humane, let honorabte men Judge of 
the injury done me. iudijc of my feelines when, in Phitodel-

my chaiaclcr and rnini^try, and snap thoiu aacred ttea which 
relrgion had connected helwri^n o»c and a beloved congrega-

(heir abhorrcDceof the imputation, and without wailing my re- 
turn or consent, immediuiely took judicial proceiMlinga agaiasl 
some of the principal ofTcnders. To say 1 despise ihia inali-

Ihe deepest pain, and great is tha in|ury it waa calculated lo in- 
flict. Yet am 1 disinclined to litigation. At any time 1 would

tnilion eandidate, by a retry large majoritj — laid to be 
19 or 1,500 votes. 

13/A district, Richard M. Johnson, re-elected without 
opttOMtion. 

The result probabW will be, 10 whigs and 3 adroinis- 
tmtioii elcoted from Kentucky. Particulars hereafter. 

Legitlature, The returns so far give 30 whigs and 18 
Van Burcii, as elected to the house of representatives; 
and the senate will probably sUnd S3 whigs and 16 Van 
Buren. Of the senators just elected, all are said to be 
whigs but one. 

VORTH CABOLIIfA. 

fVr ron^ret«. Messrs. Hawkint and Speight (Van 
Buren ) are re-^-leeted. Mr. PetHgreWf ( W. ) has beaten 
Dr. Hall, (V. B.) the late member. And gen. Barrrin' 
rer is said to have been beaten by Mr. Montgomery, 
Messrs. Deberry, Uencher and Shepanl are re-elected. 

In regard to Uie legislature the **Globe** say»— 

The following is an extract from a letter written at 
Kaleigh, datc<l the 8th inst. 

"We have returns from three counties in general 
Speight's district; and his majority is near one thoutatid. 
He will be re-elecled by at Teait fifteen hundred votes. 
[His majority is given at only 7^7^. 

**Thus fHr« the returns to the legislature are decidedly 
favorable to the re|iublican cause. *' 

**We think Mr. Senator Manguro*s promise to revolu 
tionise North Csrolina, made alter he received his in- 
aUruciions from the legislature, will hantly be accom- 
iilislied. The prospect Is now, we think, that he will 
De instructed ngain. Will he obey or will he resign?'* 

But aucordiiig to the sliewing of the **Globe,** made 
up to the hour **of putting the paper to press,'* a gain of 
•ne memt>er to the legislature is claimed. The **hill 
eountry** is to be heard from. 

The ''National Intelligencer" says— "There is little 
doubt of a mMJority of the representation in congress and 
of the state legislature being against the spoils-men." 

And the **Raleigh Uegister" gives the return for the 
legislature, (so far as received), at 57 White, 45 Van 
Buren. 

TE!f!fKSSBX. 

A governor was to have been chosen in this state. A 
Nashville extra of the 10th, gave the following result—- 
•ofar as known: 

For Carroll, (V. B.) 14,715 

Cannon, (White) 16,132 

Humphries (do.) 8,446 

Congrett, Mr. Bell is re-elected without opposition 
•—and so we unilerstand is Mr. Polk and Mr. Peuton, 
Mr. Mntry is re-elected by a large roaiority. Colonel 
Crockett was going **a*head." In the first congression- 
al flistrict, Mr. Carter received 3,350 votes, ^1r. Arnold 
S,I99, Mr. Anderson 9,069. The first and last named, 
the "Union,'* (a Van Buren pai>er) says, are of politics 
**unkno-»n** — Mr. Arnold is a whig. 

Mr. Carroll is the present governor, and is said to 
have received tlie votes of the "White party generally." 

ALABAMA. 

"The opinion is entertained that Mr. Clay will be 
•leeted governor, by a large majority. He has always 
been favorable to the present administration, but may be 
regarded as oppond to Van Buren, as in a circular which 
lie issued just before the election he expressed his deeid- 
•d iireference for White. Col. Bates is doubtless elect- 
ed and is for White." 

We have no returns of the congressional election worth 
copying. The returns of the e^tion for governor, be- 
tween C. C Clay^ (late representative in congress), and 
Mr. ParaonMt (both avowealy friends of judge Wfdte^ but 
the latter most decidedly so), are, so fiir as received, as 
follows: 

For Mr. Clay 4,533— Mr. Parsons 3,838. 

Mr. Lewis is re-eleeted to congress. 

IlfDIAIVA. 

For cowrren, Tt is stated that Mr. MeCarty, (whig), 
and Mr. Kmnard, (adm.), have been re •electee) by large 
malorities. 

From the Madison (Ind.) Republican, we learn that 
Mr. Detoey^t (whig) majority tor congress, over Mr. 
C<irr, (V. R.) in JeffWrson ooantT, la. is 391. This vote 
ia M larfe that it is supposed to insure DeweuU election. 
Anotlier account says tnat Mr. Carr is re-elected. 



The contest between Mr. Dtmn (whig) and Mr. Jimo9 
Lane (adm.) has been so close that reports of the result 
are contradictory. One account n>presents Mr. lluim 
to be chosen by a majority of three votes; whilst another 
gives Mr. Lttneu majority of twenty- three votes. 

Mr. Uannegan is I'v-elected. 

"Ill the 2d district it is probable tliat Dr. Davit hat 



succeeded over Mr. JEwing^ late member"— so says an 

\ lilt 

is the other way. 



Indiana i>aper; but anothtr thinks that the "probabflity" 
other way. 
Uetunis from the district represented in the last eon* 



gress by Ratliff Boon, (adm.) so far as we find them in 

the huliaiui Pati*iot, aive the following resnits: In tlie 

counties of Orange, Harrison and Crawford, Uie TOtea 

were — 

For J. G. Clendinen 8,010 

For Mr. Boon 980 

[Verbal information from Pike and Duboise counties 

increase the preponderance of Mr. CUndinen'9 vote. 

There remain, however, six counties in this district yet 

to be heard from.] 

XTSSOrBI. 

Imperfect returns, including the county of SL Lotiit 

and two districts in St. Charles and Pike counties, prO" 

sent the following aggregate: 

White. Van Buren. 

Ashley 4,703 Strother 3,864 

Bireh 3,108 Harrison 3,943 

A warm contest was carried on for clerk of the cireott

J. Uulaod, as follows:

eSOBOIA. 

In this state, an unexpected state of things exists, in 
reference to tlie representation of the state in congress. 
Of the nine representatives electe<l by general ticket in 
the last autumn, (all Maid to be Jackson-Van-Burenitet), 
three have vacated their scats by resignation. To fill 
these vacancies candidates have been nominated by 'Hhe 
state rights* party," as follows: Bichard H. Wi/rfp, J?o- 
ger L. Gamble, Thomas F. Fotter. Since this nomina- 
tion, another member elect (general Sanford) has re* 
signed, making ybrir vacancies; and ^ fifih member it 
"in such a situation (by ill health, we presume) that 
very little hope is entertained that he will be able to 
serve the state in congress." Here, then, Mxefve vaeao* 
cies to be filled, out of the whole number of nme. It la, 
therefore, at this moment, doubtful, and will be until 
after the election to fill these vacancies, whether the 
state of Georgia, as represented in the house of repre- 
sentatives, will be in favor of Mr. Van Buren or Hidrc 
White! [Mit. Air.

Captain Back has returned to Montreal, and proceeded / 
England. The Montreal Gaaette says— .^^ 

During the winter, the rxpecition had to endure great pritaT'^ 
tions snd s uflering*, owing to the scarcity of food, and ilie se- 
verity of the weather. On the 35lb of April, being exactly one 
year aft<*r he had WA Lachine, and during a very heavy snow 
storm, the d(>«patch communicating capt. Rosa's safe retnrv 
was df liverpd to capt. Back. The primary object for which the 
Journey was imderiakm being thus happily fulfilled by other 
aei'iit'*i cipt. Back made preparations for complyint with Ike 
secondary partof hii^ instructions — the examination of the eoast 
bnwHPii Point Turnagain snd Rnes*s Pillar. Several boats 
wrre with the ntmont activity built during the winter, but In

Che minutes. William Boacu, dtk of eouneii. 

A man named Brady has been arrested in North Ca- 
rolina—And another called Puj'A, io Virginia, cliarged 
with **Umpering" with the slaves. 

Some parts of Marvland are much disturbed by the 
'*iiieeadian' attempts. *' So also at Norfolk and many 
places in Virginia. A letter from Chestertown, McK. 
dated August 17, says— **lliis town has been in an op- 
roar for several days. A suspicious person, direct fiH>m 
New Orleans, without any ostensible or plausible object, 
baa been discovered in conversation with the negroes, 
ood lias visiteil some of their gatlierings in this vicinity. 
He i> now in jail, and his examination takes place to-day. 
The town is now guartled every night by armed men of 
tke first respectability. The people are much excited and 
•termed." 

A man namad Robert Bell was hung at Clinton, Mi^ 
litaipiM — as an ''insurrectionist " 

The villain who made (he attempt upon the life of his 
niatress, Mrs. Thornton, in the city of Washington, 
Imw been arrested and committed. I'here was some 
diffeulty in preventing the populace from hanging him 
''without judge or jury. " 

Tlie Philadelphia Gazette Miyi — '*Tlie Abolition so- 
ciety held a meeting last evening in their hall, between 
Cii«TT and Race streets, near Sixth. A number of per- 
aoos, both colored and white, attended, and Mr. D. P. 
Brown was expected to nuike an address. A considera- 
ble erowd however assembled, and manifested a dispo- 
•ition to disturb the meeting. The society, to avoid 
dittvrbaaees, and in accoi*daiiee with advice oif the city 
lolieltor, adjourned. 

'The following aceount is from the Worcester Pal la- 



liiun. 

An nMto'on meeting was held in this place, at the 
towa hall, mi Monday evening. Some indications of dis- 
approbation were manifested in the meeting in the early 
|Mtft of the disaourse, by a considerable number of pei^ 
•ens at and near the door of the hall, by hissing, stamp- 
it^ and shouting, but not ao as seriously to inien-u|}t the 
diseonrte or much to disburb the aiidiiMicc. Pi-e%ious to 
the oinse of thv discourse, an individiiHl, precceded by 
aNoiher, marched to the desk, ulure the speaker, Mr. 
ScoCt, was holding forth, and look possession of his 
D0iet^ deliberately, and then retired without inteiferenee 



or interruption from anr person. The meeting was im- 
mediately closed, and the ladies were invited to retire, 
which they did — and Mr. Scott, accomiianied by hia 
frii-itds, as soon as convenient, left the hall. We un- 
derstand Mr. S. lefi town the same evening, or, at lemtt, 
the village of Worcester. 

From the AugUMta (Geo.) Chronicle. 

Mr, Editor: I'he following is the 5th sec. div. 9, of 
the late penal code: 

**lf any iierson shall bring, introduce, or circulate, or 
cause to he brought, introduced or circulated, or aid or 
assist, or be in any manner instrumental in bringing, in- 
troducing, or circulating, within this state, any printed 
or written paper, pamphlet or circular, for the purpose 
of inciting insurrection, revolt, conspiracy, or resistanee, 
on the i)art of the slaves, negroes or free j)ersons of eo- 
lor, in this state, against the citizens of this state, or any 
part of them, such |)erson so offending, shall be guilty of 
a high misdemeanor, and oneonvictiou shall be puniuied 
with DEATH." 

Let the |>eople beware, for the law shall be enforced, 
even wao the letta\' A Citikkh. 

Incendiary fiubh'cationt. Tapi»an's factory in N. York 
must be well supplied with these publications, as they are 
forwarded in great numbers to the southern states. Ma- 
ryland has been favored with her sliare, and the mail to 
this city has been well loaded with them. We have seen 
and examined some of them, and, whatever mav be said 
to the contrary, by tlieir auihor% we assert that their ten- 
dency is iiiflaiuniatory and injurious. We know not what 
result Mr. Tapi>aii expecu or hopes to effect by these 
publications — but we can assure him, and those engaged 
with him in the business, that they are |ireparii»g the 
greatest calamities for the objects of their solicitude. 
The southern people have at least as much humanity as 
the busy self-riehteoas nhilanthropists who are attempt- 
ing lo instruct them in their duties— but they are prepare 
eel to maintain their constilutional rights. Congress will 
liave to take this subject in hand, and fiaas sueb laws as 
may be necessary to prevent fanatieal interference with 
the southern sutes — or those states will redress their 
grievances by independent action. [Bali* Chretu 

The store keepers of Charleston, S. C. held a meeting 
on the 3d instant, and passed, among others, the follow- 
ing resolution: 

Betotved, That as we ditpite the meant, and euepeetthe 
motix^t of tfie abolitionists, we must necessarily abhtr 
them; and with these feelings we solemnly pledge our- 
selves not purchase from, or traffic directly or indireetljr 
with any abolitionist. 

Jbwiher row. A person hv the name of Scott, passiog 
through Eln»-street, s few days ago, was knocked down 
by an Irisliman, and the parties commencing a fight, the 
Iribhman getting a little the worst of it, was assisted by 
several ofliis fnends, and a boy ran into the offlee of tM 
street inspector for help. Mr. Hatfield, and several 
persons came out to quell the disturbance, and arretted 
two of the assailants; and were about carrying them to 
the police, when a band of about fifty of their conntiy- 
men armed with shillelahs, rescued the persons arrest- 
ed, and beat Hatfield, the inspector general of streets, in 
A very severe manner, knocked out two or three of hia 
teeth, and beat every person who attcm|ited to keep the 
neace. and earrie<l off' tlieir countrymen in triumph. 
^ [JV. r. Star. 

y^lt is manifest, we think, that a great simultaneous \ 
movement has been made by Tuppan U Co. to produce J 
in insurrection of the blacks. f 

OOlt is impossible for us to regitter what has liappcn- 
ed as to the exciting subjects mentioned.

NILES* REGISTER— AUG. 99, 1 885— MEETING IN RICHMOND. 



441 



day, the 94tb day of July, 1835, to consider and report what 
meararpii are proper to bp nditpted, in n*ffard to the atiemptji 
makini in Koini' of ibi* n«trilifrn Riati'it to iiiiirrfre wiili tlie 
■lave propf.rxy of the pouth, liave had ihiM htihjfct nndpr tlieir 
••ffinuir con*ideration,aMd «ubmit the following report and re- 
•olntionrt tor adoption: 

In common with evpry rexppctnble portion of our follow citi- 
senn, we deeply Inmnnt that Htcrn necMfity, and a rrpird for 
oar Just and conAtiiuiionai rieht«, and the pence and harmony 
of our count! y, have required of ua some public exprPiiiiion of 
our opinions, and some dncisivp action on Ihis momcntiius 
and delicate subject. No consideration short of thrsn, could 
have Induced us, in our primary character, to bring into notice 
the mpa«iurr« which some associations to the north have adopt- 
ed, the direct efTecis of which are, the destruction of our ex- 
cellent form of Kovemment; to overwhelm this fair country 
with a civil and servile war; and to cover these prosperous 
staifs with a gloom and desolation that neither patriotism nor 
wisdom can remove or repair We approach, then, this de- 
licate subject, with every conviction of the temperance and 
ftirbearance with which it should be treated, and with the fixed 
design of doing and saying notliing but that which the exigency 
of the occasion shall demand. 

It is no kHifer to bedivguised, (and we make the acknow- 
ledgment with astonishment, regret and indignation), that 
nystpmatie and persevering efforts have for some time been 
making m the northern states to produce a direct inteference 
with the slave properly of the south. 

£io long, however, aa these eflorts were confined to the pro- 
ceedings of a few unprincipled and rpcklpss fanatics, sustained 
by some mi!«gnidpd, yet well designing philanthropists, we were 
willing to rely solely on the lil»eral, intplligent and temperate of 
our fellow citiaens of the north, to restrain and destroy these 
irrpgular, unkind and disorganiaing movempnts. No good or 
reflecting man among us desired to add any thing to the excite- 
ment, which the past feeble and vicious measures of the 
■nrihem abnliiinnisla were so well calculated to produce, and 
•one of us could reconcile it to our duty, to ourselves, or to our 
beloved country, to do any act that might in the least drgree, 
alienate, or tend to alienate, one portion of our common conn- 
iry from the other. Actuated by these sentimpnts, we, in Vir- 
ginia, with all the other southern states, have forborne noticing 
(he associations in qaeation; not doubting but that tht-ir further 
Increase and dangerous tendencies would be controlcd, pith«r 
by the public sentiment of the northern people, or by the kgis- 
Utinn of the sutes in which they were formed. Recent deve>' 
lopmenta have, however, shewn to our satisnirtion, that to re- 
main longer imssivc, or to npglect to warn the ppople of the 
non-slaveholding states against the irreparable minrhietii this 
latermeddlmg of some of their people with this subject may 
.produce to us all, would be as wanting in franknesx on our 
part, as it would be unjust towardii them. (Conceding it to be 
true, (and we have no disposition to bring inio Hnuht iiH ppr- 
tkct truth), that a very large mafority of the entirp population 
of non slaveholding states rondpmn all interferpnce with the 
•abject of slavery, either by legislation on ihp part of congress, 
or in any other manner, yet it cannot be denied that the aboli- 
tionists have formed and organizi'd numerous soeieiips in thpse 
vtates — havp raised largpsums of money tortinjieminnfe through 
out the nation their dinorgnniziiif, seditious and incendiary 
doctrines— that they have pstablixhed prp**e«, and srp printing 
and even now distributing in our own and thp southern Ptates 
the most dangprous and inflammatory publipntinns, for the un^ 
disguised purpose of producing by fraud or by fores the imme- 
diate emanciiMtion of our slaves. 

Numerically small as this band of desperadoes now !■, they 
possess pecuniary re^ourcea, enprgy of rharncler and reckless- 
ne*a of purpose, snflleient to do much mischlpf. Thpy nre be 
yond the reach of onr laws, and with impunity throw, or at 
tempt to throw, among us. roatprials wlii<*h are de«igni>d and 
well calculated to |pad to insurrpction, plunder and murdpr./ 
With such men we cannot stop to rpasnn, or to remonstralp;^ 
but to those of our northprn fellow citiTSPos who wiselv and 
virtnoflsly reprobaip all of these attrmptpd outrages on the 
sooth, we vnny safrly appeal, in the exi^^ting emergency, that 
thtty do, by strong, yet lawful, by mild, yet pon-ftiiutional means, 
terminate and remove all our Just cansps of complaint. 

Were thpse statps separate and independent nations, and 
•neh ■•sociatlons wpre tolemted by rlie existing govi-rnmenis 
nf Ihem, it ever has been held among all eivillaed nations, that 
the rme whose peace and repose might be threatened bv »nrh 
means, has an unqnestionahle right to demand their removal. 
If this be true, l>etween forpign Ktates, hnw much stronger is 
our claim for a like remedv upon those who belong to and 
eonstittite, and as we fervently hope will ever continue to eon 
stitute, a part of the same nation, bound togethpr by every tie 
of inrervHit and aflTrrM-lion. If the power and foree of public 
opinion be not strong pnough iu the nnn slaveholding stales to 
put down ihpse mad disorgnui7.pr!«. ilipn we of thp pouth havp 
#vprv fair and rea^onablp claim on tliP«e states to attain this 
end bv thP passAre of eflectu.1l and constitutional laws. We 
cannot doubt, that so iiist an appeal will be promptly acquiese- 
•d in, nor will we anticipate or attempt to depict the conse- 
«|uenees which might en*ue from a failure or rpfu«al to yield 
acqniescpnce. It is entirely in thp powpr of the south, by a 



on oar sister sttfes to the north and east of at, we might sat 
infringe any of iheir laws, but we shonld be Justly charged with 
the want of courteay, liberality ami friendship. Bnl we adopt 
no measure to embarraaa those states, which are mora Ibrtaaaie 
in the exemption from a large colored popniailoa. 

It is just, however, to our brethren, to the north, solamalj to 
warn them, that our right of property in onr slaves Is gaaraa« 
tied by the constitution; and to remind them how sacredly theif 
have, in all time past, regarded this right; that the last attempt 
to impair the value of this guaranty, by endeavoring to procarv 
the abolition of slavery by congress in either of the slates, or l» 
any of the territories, or district, where slavery now eiists, or 
to regulate the manner in which slavea may be sold from ono 
slate into another, we shall hold to be a waaton and obvhrav 
violation of the compact between the siatss, and deslnicUvv 
of the whole frame of government. 

We cannot permit this proposition to be discussed; the coof' 
verse of it is so startling and so glaringly inlqallons, that Ibe 
southern people cannot tolerate its argument. The contlnaanc* 
of slavery, its wisdom. Justice or expediency, are questions fiBff 
ourselves, on^ ountlvti only, and the daya of this repaUic 
will have been numbered on that, when we ahall have conced- 
ed to any othera than our own people the decision of ibeso 
questions. We admonish, then, our northern fellow eilisciiay 
that as they value the blessings bestowed by onr eonstilnlioa, 
and the continuance of the union; as they estimate the peaeo 
of onr country; as they would guard agatnst civil commotkmv 
war and bloodshed, to make all within their borders, and nndar 
the Infloence of their laws, deshit from their mad and wkkad 
schemes— wicked, essentially wicked and mlsehievoos as well 
towards the black man, as towards the white, and eqaally da- 
Btrtictive to the happiness of the one and the improvement of t 
the other. Nothing can so strongly demonstrate this troth, M l 
the recent deplorable occurrences in our sister slate M i mli. 1 
sippi, where the machinations of a few, very fkw hnUUH^ bava 
thrown that whole community into commotion, and broogbt oa 
the heads of the white and black oflVaders the sammarjr vob- 
geance of a wronged and enraged people. Ttona whila wsbavo 
been but connHerinf the necesitary measnres to arrest the com- 
ing evil, we have seen practically exhibited hs tendency and 
result. The aspirations of every humane man aad patriot 



should surely be, that the time may be far, very far 
when like scenes shall be witnessed throagn oirr sootherv 
country; and yet, as cerUinly as we am here assembled, wilt 
they be. If the rash and wicked auempts of the abolHlonisfir 
are not promptly repressed. The experience of aH thne past 
has shown, howpver, that the surest and safest means flir pro- 
viding against such dangers as now threaten our domestic peace^ 
are a reliance on our own energies and preparations; aad imt 
to repose loo much on the sense of justice of those, wbo, fireoa 
various causes, cannot po well perceive, or guard against Ibo 
imppnding wrong. While we therefore appeal, with ealiter 
confidence, to the Justice of our northern brethren, we sbafi 
not neglect to adopt all efllcient measures within onr own ter- 
ritory, to provide against any mischief, and to arrest the carear 
of these liwless intruders. Committees of vigilance and eoT' 
respondence phoiild be organized throughout the slate, and oar 
fellow ciiizrns should be invited without delay to hold meet- 
ings in their respective cnuniies and corporations for this par- 
pfHp. The police should be required to exert Its utmost vial- 
lance, to deipct and bring to punishment all ofTeadtYS agaiait 
our laws, and each citizen shall stand niedged to giva Ibe moat 
prompt information of their slighest infhiction. To onr owa 
Ipgifilaiure we should apply for further legislation and acthm. 
,C)iir laws should be strengthened, and as the guardians of o«r 
rights, our peace and onr happiness, the general assemMy 
should call on our sister stales to remedy, by all means practi- 
cable, our Just complaints against any of their cillsens. Onided 
by these views and sentiments, your committee submit, fbr tbo 
adoption of the meeting, the following resolutions: 

1st (eto/verf. That we shall hold any attpmpt to impair tha 
right!* of prf>ppriy in our slaves, aa guarantied by the consUtti- 
tinn, by the abolition of slavery by congress in any of the states, 
or any of the territories, or district, where slavery now exists, 
or to regiilatp the manner in which slaves may be sold from ono 
state to another, as a wanton violation of our political compact, 
and destructive of tlie whole frame of our government. 

9d. Retolvedj That we have a Ju't claim on all the non-slavo- 
holding states for the enactment nf suitable and eflleient laws, 
to repreps and put down, by adequate penalties, all incendiarv 
-or seditious aspociations, whose avowed purpose Is to distarb 
our peace and excite insurrection among our slaves; and wa 
confidently rely on thp wipdom and firmness of the general aa- 
sembly, by a proper appeal to these sutes, to procnre the pas- 
sage of purh InivR. 

3d. JRettfleerf, That it is necessary the existing laws of tbia 
commonwealth for the suppression of the printing and clrcnlat- 
ing Incrndiary publications, to give them mor»efllcicBC7,8boaM 
be amended. 

4th. Aera/ceff, That it he recommended to the magistratea of 
the county and the police of the city, to use unceasing aad In- 
creased vigilance in the detection of fanatical emissaries, and 
In the suppression of their nefkrious schemes. 

5th. iteso/rcd. That a committee of vigilance be appointed, 
whose duty it shall be to use all lawfVil means to protect tba 



change of policy, greatly ro annov the northern sutes; for were interests of this coonty and city from the designs of those fcna- 
we to pass laws to remove all onr free negroes, as disturbers of tics and abolitionists, who, under the garb of bamaolt/, bypo. 
tba paacs, rh>m oar borders, and to Und them to be lei loofc ' critically assamvd, wonld deluge ouf l«nAV«L>^nmb^«

THB PAST — THR PRMKlTlv— FOR THB FDTURE. 



BIllTSn, PKINTBD AIfI> PUBLlSHEn BT H. HILEB, AT $5 PKR ANNUM, PATABl.K IN AnVANCK. 



According to promise, we now insert the speech of col. 
Beuton, delivered at a public dinner given to him at St. 
Lrf)uis; and we also copy (at a elosu to that discussion), 
the speech of Mr. Clay, in the senate, on "executive pa- 
Crooage'* — which only appeared in the '^National Intelli- 
gencer of the i9th iubU 

We had the plcastire, (and truly it was a great plea- 
^ire), to make on*.* of a party of about ri^ht hundred that 
altemled on Tuesday last, the 25th inst. to witness the 
ceremony of forniaHy 0|K.'ning the Baltimuve and h'tuh- 
inrton mil road, ft was a grand and glorious sight! 
The procession consisted of seventeen cars, loaded with 
about fifty ha|)|>y (lersons each, seated entirely at their 
eas^^— which were drawn by four locomotive engines, 
the George H'athington, John Adami^ Thomat Jejftrrton 
and Jatnei J^Iadivonj and, arriving at Rladensburg, there 
met another train of cars from Washington, also di-awn 
by a locomotive, and filled with public tunctionarieq and 
other invitetl guests, where congratulations on the result 
of the labors of the rail n>ad company were passed be- 
tween the mayor of VVasliington and the pi-esitlent of the 
company: the whole party then proceeded to Washing- 
ton, and soon arrived at the depot at the foot of Capitol 
Hill, where a Tast crowd of people was assembled, and 
rent the air with their acclamations at this victory of 
Mcience oroer time and affoce. We then landed, and form- 
ing a procession, on foot, preceded by a band of music, 
rei>aired to the collations that had been provided at 
Brown** and Gadaby^t hotels, where the best of things 
had been obtained, and were abundantly and elegantly 
aerved up— -after which many parties of ladies an<t gen- 
tlemen paid their respects to the president of the United 
Stales, or visited the capitol, the library of congress, the 
patent office, &c. all which were politely thrown o\w\\ to 
the public, and attended with all possible courtesy and 
consideration. At SO minutes before 5 oVlock, we start- 
ed from Washington, and, in 2 hours and 20 minutes, 
were at the depot in Charlet street, including the time 
ex)K'nded by taking in water, and in changing the mode 
of conveyance to beautiful grey horses, at Mount Clare — 
the locomotives not being allowed to enter the built parts 
of the city. 

It is thus ascertained that from Baltimore io Wcuhing' 
ton, 40 miles, is distant two hour*! The locomotives, 
(built by the company J, have equal, if not greater power 
and fliirability than any in the world. The capacity to 
transport as many persons as can be desired, will be 
easily gathered from the facts that we have already stated 
•>— at least one thousand, ladies and gentlemen, by' the aid 
of^/ive locomotives, entered Washington. 

Ah we exi>ect soon to give some highly interesting tM- 
tiatict of the BMltimore and Ohio rail road company, in- 
eluding its lateral branch to Washington, we shall defer 
a present particular notice of other things that happened; 
and simply remark that the Thomaa viaduct over the 
Pa*.ap9co and its. ravine, (built of granite, G5 feet above

Immense meetings of the people have been held, or 
will be holden in tlie east and north, as well as in the 
west and south, concerning the doings of the anti-slavery 
folks — two or three of which we publisli by way of 
s|>eeimens of the rest. The effect of these things will be 
the constitution of a mighty moral, as well as physical 
force, to act against the fanatics, and the slaves, as con- 
servators of the public i>eace. 

We have a large mass of matter on hand of a charnC"

From the CkarU$tcn Patriot of^ufu$t 91. 

"A mail cnlhiif hiiiivfli R. W. Carroll, but wlio«e real name, 
we uiidt-rtftand, is Wo<»d,and who lian carried on tl>e bnnhieaa 
ofR liHir dretifcr Tor some yearn in thin city, but who has ren- 
dered hiniKfirior a long period obnoxioun to the cilizeiia, from 
hiti connexion with »lave«, as a recfiver oi' stolen goods, parli- 
culaily the artieltt ofcoiton, was this morning coniprlled to ao- 
dergo the op«;ralion of Lynch'» law. Carroll had lull warning 
lo depart froui the ciiy, aw thin eommuniiy was determined ao 
longer lo »ubniii to his presence- lie disregarded ihiH warning 
and ap|H-ared to brave hiit rate. He wa« accordingly taken Troin 
liiH re«idence ihii* nioinmg between 8 and 9 u'chick, and about 
90 iH^lien inflicted on hiin. He wan then »irip|>**<l Irnm his wakal 
upwnrd«,(arretf,and a cool of cotton, not rxATRRBa, bestowed 
on him, from the erowu uf lii« head to the soiea ol his feel, so 
that he presented a lalher ludicmim aniiert, ai* nothing but his 
face was vicible, peering out Troni a ma^i^ of whif, and thus 
rendering hi* mode of puiiirhnieni, emhlevnatie of the nature of 
hiK oflTrnce, a* an exteni*ive contraband denier in the principal 
li'taple of ihe south. He waK then marched in proceMtnn throngh 
a few of our priucipal vir^eli', and lodged in ihe jail, whence ii« 
will or course have lo depart lite city. 

"The whole prcK'eeding waK conducted with the utmost qniet- 
neH and order, several rrvpeciable citiaenK lending the counte* 
nance of their presence to the meaouie, while no oihvr indivi- 
dual was in any way moleiited. The inipaniiy with which this 
man han, for a length of lime, carried on his operations, depra- 
daiing through his concealed agenio exten*ively on the properly 
of the citizens, and the cunning with which he laid hi* plana of 
plunder and eluded the proof of hia villainy, rendered ft ab»o< 
lately necessary that some measure should be adopted to rid 
this community of bis presence. Such was the feeling of ab- 
horrence which the conduct of Carroll had inspired, that not a 
syiiipiilhizing voice waa raided in his favor. 

<*To foiiii voHiR idea of CarrolPn depredations it is said, oa 
good anthority, that he has shipped as many as seventy bales of 
cotton in a Kcason, by tim line ships going to New York, made 
up of apoiln, which were obtained by a corruption of our scr- 
vMiiH, which ii would lie iinp<Msiihle aay longer to permit.*' 

But what is this more than the proceedioga of a mo&, 
however rightfully the man might have been puniihed? 
He was deposited too, iik the jail of the city ! 

The fanatics arc, certainly, engaged in a great and si* 
roulianeous effort to lead the blacks into excesses tliat 
can end only in their more bitter ]>ersecution— or awif^ 
destruction. It might have l>een possible to have brought 
about a partial rising of them, in some of the states — but 
the horrors that would have attended their course must 
have arousefl in et>ery white man a disposition to annihl- y 
late them, and sweep them from the face of the earths

The following will shew what our country may be- 
come, when the tpare'labor of our women and children 
shall lie devoted to its cultivation: 

Till! quantity of raw silk manufactured in Europe is almoal 
incredible. In France, though large qnaniiliea are produced at 
home, vet they annually import raw «ilk to ihe amouitl of 
dO,(h>U,UUOoffrancf, equal 10 115,400,000. This is ffupp4ii>ed to 
be nboui one- third of the amount manufactured. Though the 
climate of Bnsland doe* not admit of the growing of nilk, and 
U%ey are dependent on other countries for a supply, yet the 
amoiinl manufactured ia asloniiihing. A late anlheniic work 
on the ^ilk trade, i«ti4te<i there were imported from 1831 to 1838, 
94,157,568 lb«. of raw filk, at a com oI ^190,787,568. Of thin 
great im|M»rtation, ^59,881 ,983 was from Italy. With such a 
foreign market »* Knslaud alone, in addition to a home con> 
sumption of $00,000,000 annually, need ibe American culturisi 
fear overdoing? 

It is cnlctdated by suitably informed persons, that no 
less than 14,000,000,000 silkworms die every year, vic- 
tims to tlie production of the amount of silk whioh is con- 
Buined for one year in England alone. 

Several rich specimens of gold ore, found in Gooch- 
land and Fluvana counties, have been recently exhibited

operations in the mines in those countiea show an average

ore, and in another of $3 to $5 per bushel.

Traile of J/kw Orlema. The Bulletin of the 12ih

the value of a few leading items embraced in the com* 
inerce of New Orleans, tor the past year: 

Cotton, 37,000,000 

Sugar and molaase^ 9.000,000 

T<»bacco 3,950.000

WhUkey, 590,000 

57,800,000 

Other articles received n'om the inte- 
rior probably, 19,700,000 



470,000,000 
It was supposed by the estimate that the trade coast- 
wise from abroad, including the goods that pass throiigli 
the city, would amount to an equal sum. 

A TaUah(u»ee paper has the following: 

In Eatl f^riWa, not withfitandin;; the cuftivatfon oftheeane 
continues less unfUCceMAifly, and a period may arrive of more 
propitious »rai>ona, better experience, more capiial and more 
encouraging prices abroad, which may canse the general cnlli- 
vation lo be rmnmed. 

In the meantime, in Jnnilce to the voil, I must observe, that 
16 Pialks have been produced from a single joint of eane, and 
another 14, from sandy Innd; average number of lOJoinia in 10 
Hinlkn. Ten of these weighed 50| pounds. 9,000 lbs. is a eom- 
mon quantity of sugar from one acre. One planter made 1,800 
lbs. UKinc 8 Joints only, and leaving 4 for seed. The cane was 
planted 4i feet apart. If it had been at 3 feet only, and with 
an iron mill, he supposed lie would make 4.000 lbs. to the acre. 
Another, with 40 hands, made 50 hhds. of i^nsar, 80 bbls. mo- 
lasses, 6,000 bushels corn, 40 bales cotton, 600 bushels rice, be- 
sides sundry improvement", and clearing 130 acres. One hand 
can easily manage fr>ur acres of cane, with a little cotton, f 
could multiply examples of this kind, were it not for fear of 
faiigneing you. I close, therefore, by remarking, that a friend 
of mine redeems the lors b*-fore mentioned of cuitinc down iha 
cane prematurely, by burying or covering it carelully, by whieh 
operation the cane recovers In part, and gives a produce of 
double the quiiniiiy. 

Remains of the mammoth are frequently met with ?n 
the United States, and must once fiave been numerous.

derful mammoth that appear* to be no longer an animal nriife. 
They consii*! of a tU'k 5 feet 9 inches Ions, weighinc 99 fMiunda 
—one end of which had the appearane** of having been brokea 
off*— a grinder, weighing between 8 and 9 pounds, and measur- 
ing ten inches in length. A Joint nf the spine was ak^o found. 
The teeth were found about two rods dixiant from earb other, 
and the Joint of the spine a considerable diaiaaca from tlM 
teeth.

A southern postmaster writes to a finend in this eity at 
follows: **Yester<lay, while examining the mail in seareli 
of 'incendiaries* 1 discovered a letter written nn a hean- 
lifnl sheet nf pink paper. I broke it open, and lo, nu4 
behold, it was a love letter from onr old friend Mis* 

to young — — ~ of this village. It would make you 

laugh to read it." Only hear the impudent seofind'rel. 
He not only assumes the responsibility of searrhing the 
United States mail, but wonid makf* pnblie the eontentt 
of a private love letter. Shade of Washington! Where

A good deal of fighting still is going on in Spain. The advan

There is nothing important from Portugal. 

Amsterdam has been disturbed by riots, growing out of a re 
tistance of an odions tax. 

The king of France has oflTered a reward of 30,000 dollnrs for 
the discovery and relief of the officers and crew nf a French

North seas in August IH33. 

The List letters (Vom Madrid anticipate a political convulsion

regency, and the appointment of Don Francisco in her place. 

IVetl Tndiet. The accounts from Havre state the receipt of 
advices from Martinique, at which place intelligence had been 
received from St. Lucia of the negroes having set on fire seven 
or eight bouses, and being in a very disorgniiized state. Great 
complaints were made at Martinique of the desertion of the 
•lavea, who readily found an asylum in the neighboring islands.

BANK OF THE UNITED STATES. 
The follnwifig may well be called a triumphant extii- 
bit of the affairs of the bank — in ihe midst of all its per- 
aecutiom and proicnptiotu, being itupeached in all man- 
ner of ways, and assailed on every |»oiiit — even its sol- 
vency being **qiiestioned,'* by high aiilliorily. ItHnpcHrs 
that, after satisfying the enormous losses which followed 
the Jirtt administi*alion of the hank, (and which justly 
rendered the institution unpopular), and all others that 
have happened, it has an actixte and etxaily available siii^ 
plus of about trventeen per cent, to divide among ita 
stockholders! We think that the like has never before 
cMGurred—and, certainly, not under like circumstances.

DISTRE9S IN IRELAND. 
We have before iis a copy of tliw petition of the ptrlshnneta 
of Bufiii«h«Mtle, Ireland, coinplHining of the distressed state of 
the peiiHantry of iliHt |Mit ol the country. It presents a heart 
nioviiix picture. 'I'hr population ol the pari»h amonnts to 
11,761 souls— llieir only Minrce ol eiuploytiient being agin ulture 
and weaving. All the pur|KMes of agrtcniture could be attend- 
ed to, in the pari»h, in six months ot the year, and the petiiNin* 
ers go into a stateiit* nt to prove that under existing cireumsian- 
ce», five hundred thousand persons are necessarily consigned, 
from want ol employment, to the dephirable alternative of dying 
by vtarvaiion, or of protracting a miserable existence by plva- 
der. rapine and the Infraction of the laws of the country.

"They state that in the year 1831, there were in the pariab 
3,041 f.iinilies; 917 families of which were then without a cow. 
horse, sheep or as*; that at that period 3,931 above the age of 
fii\een, were without the ordinary clothes worn by prraooe 
moving in the humblest walks of life; that there were 561 wi- 
dows and orphans having none to support them, and 187 cabins 
having residing in Ihem more than one family, and s<ime foer §tr 
roilies; that snpiiosing three persons to lie on each feather bed. 
there were 9^M sleeping on straw, heath or green mshea; and 
supposing three persons to sleep on each bedstead, there were 
at that period in the parish 7,531 sleeping on tlie ground; llMt 
there was one village wiihin one mile of Newport, Pratt, ttie 
only town in the parifli, having 4.'> lamilies containing a popn* 
lAiion ol 306 soul«, liuving only 39 blankets, half bUinkKl and •

lia* ev'.-r circulated inflaminutory tracts among ihe *liivif*, or

sentence, from which could be Inferred other counsel 10 the 
slave* than thi«, **tn suffer Injury long and still be kind''— "not

The aiiempi is made 10 delude the community into the belief, 

that abolitionists are willing 10 secure the emandpaiion of ihe 

tiaves, at the eipense 01 the safety of the whites. We deny 

thi* charge, in the ino^t pointed manner. We have never ad- 
vocated the rigiii of physical real*tauce, on the pari of Ihe op-» 

pressed. We as*ure our a**ailAntf , that we wonid not sactiAce 

llie life of a single slaveholder, to emancipate every slave in Ihe 

United States. On the conirary, we are fully persuaded that 

the triuinph of our principliui is Ihe only means of tranquillily 

or nafeiy, (or our couniry. 
The f.Mdi*h tale that we would enconrage amalgamation by 

intermarriage, between the while* and blacks, though olieii re- 

ftited, a* often reappear*. We shall content ourselves with a 

simple denial of ihii charge. We challenge our opponent* to 

fMiint lo one of our publication* in which such intermarriages 

are recommended. One of our objects is to prneni Ihe ainal-

of the Roman conaul, who had aUo been condemned for vi'ilai- 
ing the lawt in auppre^ining the conspiracy of (Jaiiline; and in 
bring denied the privilege of defending hiin-^elf, he had acain 
Hhared the fate of the name c(H)«iiI, who had in like manner 
been denied the privilegei of a defence. He then meniinned 
the conduct of Cicero in being re(u«ed a hrarint: he aaid that 
he runhed into the temple of the GimN, followed by nil thai wan 
virluniiM in Rome, and nwnre upon the altar that he had naveil 
bl<« eoiiniry! an oath, naid Mr. B. which prenideni Jaeknon 
might truly have taken, when thenenate refu-ed to hear bin de- 
feoce! The applause of the company enlhuj<ia*iically renpond- 
ed to ihi.M Boniiiiienl. 

The removal of the depnnite* Mr. B. pronounced to he the 
mo:>t manterly niovemeni in politicn which the age had witiievy- 
ed. That removal had brnnght on the necond Aght with the 
bank before Rhc wa« ready for the baitif . and naved ihe coun- 
try from the dangem of the combat with her at the preiridential 
election of 1836. It wan al the premdenlinl eirciion that thia 
great mnn»yed power ehone to have itii cmnbaln wiih the peo- 
ple; and if it had bnen permuted lo ripen itn plan^ for the battle 
of 1836, not rven Jarknfin himaelf could then have vaved the 
country, ilt-r plan wan to go on vtreiiglhening herfclf, and get- 
ting the pt>ople and th» nun*- bnitk* into her power. F»r thin 
pnrpone the public deponitea were indinpen-cihle to her. It 
would have put all the public money in her handt; her own re. 
•ourcen would have enabled her to draw all the nilver from all 
part* of the country into hi'r own vauUr; Ihe eommuniiy and 
all the ntaie bank« were to be in her debt; and her uoten were 
to cnn«tiiute the only money in circulation. Thu;i fnriiAi>d for 
the strngcle, the era of the prenideniial election of I8.')6 would 
have been her time for throwing rut the nisnal for battle. It 
would have been her Heleeit*d perirnl for panic and preanure! 
Then would have been wilnevned all that the conniry aaw the 
winter before la^t. I<oann atopped, debtn callfd in, nlate bank* 
preaned for their balancen, domeniic and foreifn exchangea 
broken up, all her own nnien withdrawn from circulation, and 
the note* of all mate bank* rejected and depreciated; at the 
aame moment, all the bank enndidalen for the federal and 
aMte covernmfntn would be thrown bflhre ihe people, and the 
cry of ruin net up if they were not elt^ted! and elected they 



.tent standing army of bank oirirer* and bank elockhnldera to 
he two nr tiirtre iiinen more numeroun than the provinional 
aiiny of *ild; and lie wan crrt.tin they were eight or ten timea 
more co»fl> to the |»eople; (or it wan not believed that ihis bank 
army would content ihemnelvea with ihree qnariera of a piNiiid 
of pickled pork, and a pound and a quarter of contract liread per 
diem, or with ^'t,or even $40 per nmnth. On ilie contrary Ibejr 
lived more like the rich man in ncripture, that wore Ann linen, 
and fared nnmptuounly every day;and lieaidea that they laid up 
nomething lor a lainy da>; and the cihI ol the whole came out 
of the people; for it would not do lo aay that they made it net 
of ihemnelveH. Upward* of twenty niillioiin ofdollara per an- 
num Mr. B. computed thi:* ftanding army of tlie paper ayntem 
to fonl the people; and for whai? to nupply a niberable ragged, 
Allliy, cnunlt-rlvil, brftken bank paper cnirency, subject to 
evrry fluctuation — a Hood of it one day — all gone the next day 
— and ensihliiig the few to live uimui the many, and to put np, 
and put down ihi> price of all property, all produce and all le* 
bor,Jn*t an it nuiled their own interented aohemee of specula- 
lion, and of Jtibhiiig and gambling in nlocka, exchangea and

Mr. Benton aaid ih«; preai'nl admininirniion wan in earnest 
about checking the paper syntem, and retnrning to the cnrree. 
cy of the conniitution. They had taken the Arsl steps towarde 
that great work; ihey had ramrd gold to its propter siandani — 
had legalized the currency of foreign silver— and had branched 
the mint. These were three stepn, but others remained lo be 
uken; for the currency of a country was not to be changed sud- 
deiily, and by word of command. Il mnnt go on gradually, and 
be ettected hy dt>greefl. Thret* nteps had been taken; two nthera 
remained for the next eonfrenn; one to restore the act of 1789. 
and to exclude all paper currency from all payments lo and 
from the federal covernment; Ihe other, lo exclnda from the 
privilege of keeping the public nionejrs, every bank thai will 
not agree to nupprenn all paper cnrrency under twenty drdlars. 
With the^e additional ntep«, Mr. B. said, the paper system
