'nust feel these things. We do not exactly print
. but without pay it is certain that we could not
no more than the lawyer plead for the pi
property, the doctor prescribe for the h
the iok, or the parson make it a business to pt
for the world to come. And in this matter we are com-
pelled to say, and we say it "more in sorrow than in an-
ger," that, though we think that we could not be bought
into the support of measures which our judgment did not
approve, we have not been sustained as we ought by those
whose interests are, (in the first place), most advanced by
the successful establishment of those principles which
we have believed indispensably necessary to the well-be-
ing of our country, and tor which we have so long and zea-
lously contended. And we will go further and make
known an old and established opinion, that our perso-
nal interest would have been much better promoted in the
preservation ofa cold silence as to those principles per-
haps, have been vet more increased by opposing them.

New Jeiisev. A convention of delegates from nine
out of the fourteen counties of this state has been held
at Trenton, Lewis Condict, president, at which resolu-
tions were passed recommending thru the legislature, at
its next session, should pass a law authorizing an election
in the several counties of this state, for delegates to meet
in convention for the purpose of preparing such a revi-
sion, and proposing such amendments to the constitution
of this state, as they may think proper for the considera-
tion of the people.

The reasons which induced the proceeding are set
forth in certain resolutions, and especially because "that
in the opinion of this convention, the existing consti-
tution is greatly defective in its provisions, and desti-
tute of some of those guards and checks so necessary to re-
strain every branch of a government within its appropriate
limits too indefinite in its terms anti-republican in
some of its features, particularly as regards the qualifica-
tions of members of the legislature and of elector
the style of commissions; that it injudiciously commingles
the executive, legislative, and judicial departments ofgo-
vernment, without defining and limiting the pow<
each, and does not sufficiently guard and protect the una-
lienable rights of the citizen against the encroachments ot
either."

LA FAYETTE.

The election of gen. Lafayette to the French chamber
of deputies, is another tribute to the excellence and force
of that distinguished individual's character. A letter from
him of the 26th June, says:

"I had resolved not to stir from my rural retirement,
unless some emergency commanded the services of every
patriot; but I have found myself diverted from my pur-
pose by the death of a gentleman who had succeeded me
in the deputation from the arrondisscmeut of Meaux;

From the comments in the French papers upon this
.. we find that the opponent of La Fayette was a U-

hom, desparing of obtaining any support for one
of their own party, the ministry had induced to stand.
ived from a correspondent, a curious docu-
ment as to the details of the election. We annex a trans-
lation of it.

[ Fioju the Journal tkt ' f 'July 1. ]

The dissolution of the national guards was an epoch:
.ion of M. de La Fayette is another. We will
not say that the citizens have taken their revenge in the
latter circumstance because M. de La Fayette is not one
of those men who would be alone ohoten to bully or
threaten the administration. The constant moderation
and the disinterestedness of the illustrious deputy, his
public life so invariable, his private life so pure, assures
to him at all times the Miffragea of such electors as are
neither corrupted by the administration, norintin
by their menaces.

Hut we must say, that of ail Frenchmen, it ishe, the obli-
teration of whose name from the electoral list, the minis-
try have most at heart: because his name alone carries with
it a declaration of war against all the passions and all the
prejudices of the court, which the ministers are interest-
ed in managing. The name of M. de La Fayette, is in
our opinion the most pure expression of whatever was
good and laudable in the French revolution. His elec-
tion, then, is a solemn declaration in favor of the legiti-
mate principles of that revolution, which are those of
the charter against the unworthy and disloyal interpre-
tations given to it by the ministers within the last seven
years. The success of the new deputy, classed as he is in
the ranks of the liberal opposition, cannot but exhibit the
extreme disaffection of the citizens towards his competi-
tor.

May we not be permitted to hope, that such a choice
will enlighten the sovereign in regard to the administration
of his ministers? Can he be longer in error as to the
true situation of the country? They have given, say
they, a lesson to Franc- in the dissolution of the National
Guards of Paris: See, then, how the lesson has profitted
the people: how France has been intimated! Great bodies
cannot long remain stationary. When a backward move-
ment is prevented, in their turn they must advance.
The retrograde movement forced upon the population
20, has been stayed. A contrary movement has
succeeded to it, which makes rapid inroads upon the fee-
ble barriers that have been opposed to it.

The evil counsellors of the throne have imagined that
they were performing miracles in decimating the electoral
population. Bi the influence of frauds, of corruption and
violences, they have brought together a majority entirely
foreign to the sentiments of Trance, as well as .ntuely
i o her interests. They have imagined that France
is powerless, and that they might at their ease, found a
new monarch)-, having for its basis a congregation of
church-ware

men hate not doubted that a new generation
would enfc r upon public life, overthrowing with the en-
ihe principles anil affections formed
ic happy influence ot die government of the char-
ter. This generation of young electors will be recruited
r. Their voices, which were stifled in 1824, at
length begin to be heard in the five electoral colleges: la
ITS they will predominate they will have
Me voice of the generation who would an-
nihilate them.

This is the natural course of things. But it should be
remembered that the administration has singularly reduc-
ed itself by its continual attacks upon the national senti-
ments. The :<rhir?i:<i[/ti/\\h\c\i isannounced with the inten-
tion to re-establish the reign oi good pleasure, far from aug-
menting the degree of their power, has resuscitated former
obstacles, in raising up defiance and in reviving jealousy
of their supposed intentions. The septennial system is a
menace against the nation. That menace will be power-
I hit France will not forget it.
In the dispute between the country and the ministry,
the sovereign has been constantly respected.

VSH1NGTON,

C York, October G, 1781.

Sir: I feel myself peculiarly obliged and honored by

your excellency s communication of the 26tli ultimo.
That America must place her principal depend)
her own exertions, 1 have always foreseen, and have-
ever endeavored to inculcate; and I Batter myself that
from the wise system of policy which has of 'late been
adopted, and which congress "seem determined to pur-
sue, our internal measures will be so improved and ap-
plied, that with the assistance of our most generous of
allies, though not operating immediately with us, here-
after we shall be enabled to bring matters to a happy and
glorious conclusion.

1 am not apt to be sanguine, but I think, in all human
probability, Lord Cornwall's must fall into our hands.
The smallness of Digby's reinforcement, and the deduc-
tion from the enemy's former naval strength, b> the loss
of the Terrible, and the condemnation of two other ships
of the line, leave them so vastly inferior, that 1 think
they will not venture upon a relief.

It is to be wished that your excellency's plan would be
adopted, but there are reasons which operate forcibly

against Count de Grasse's dividing his Beet By grasp-
ing at too much, we might loose a stake which nothing
but the most adverse stroke <>f fortune can take out of
our hands, and which, if we attain, will give a most fatal
stab to the power of Great Britain in America.
1 hope your excellency will excuse my short and im-
i your full and obliging letters. The
ngages my attention must be
my apology. My public despatch will inform your ex-
cellency ol our progress up to this state.

Providence, It. I. June 25. At the recent term ot

the United Stales circuit court for the district ot Knode

Island, his honor judge Story delivered the opinion ot

the court, in the case of Ebenezer Tyler and others,

against jibraliam Wilkinson and others, in equity. We

tretofore refrained from mentioning this decision,

hut now having a copy of the judge's opinion before us,

ir to stat;.- the points decided.

that the respondents who are owners

trench, are entitled as against the owners

of the lower dam, only to what is called a waste-water

privilege; that is. a right to use only such surplus water

ated by* the owners of the lower dam and

. purpose w batever. That the rights of the

owners are subservient to those of the plaintit.s.

fradulent combination between the

owner of the upper dam, and the trench, injuriously to

appropriate and use the water, and that th-

latter use
and waste

more than they are entitled to by ancient usage, anu waste
it, to the injury of the plaintiffs. The object ot the bill is
to establish the plaintiffs' rights, and to obtain an injunc-
tion, and for general relief.

The principal points discussed at bar, were what is the
nature and extent of the rights of the owners of Sergeants
trench; and whether their righto have been exceeded by
them, to the injury of the plaintiffs.

Preparatory to considering these points, the rod
Udered the nature and extent of righto which riparian
proprietors generally posa ssto the waters oi nvers Hov-
ngh their land, which h< : generally to

right. The law acts with a reference to public conveni-
ence and g< neral good, not betrayed into a narrow strict-
ness subversive of common sense, or an extravagant loose-
ness which would destroy private right*. Mere priority ot

I he plaintiffs, the court considered riparian pi

Oi the lower dam, and the mills
cted therev itli, they have no
who mi-ht have appropriated that portion of the Stream
to the use of their mills. These rights are to be measur-
ed by their actual use and appropriation of the water,
a period whieh the lav deems a conclusive presumption
in favor of rights of this nature. As mill owners they
have no title to the How of the stream, beyond the w;.i
actually and legally appropriated to their mills; hut as
riparian proprietors, tiny are entitled to the general flow
ot the stream, so far as'it has not been already acquired
by some prior and legalh operative appropriation.

The plaintiffs have the right to the natural flow of the
stream not )et appropriated. The own< int's

trench are entitled to the use ol so much water of the
river as lias been accustomed to flow through that trench
to and from their mills, (whether actually used or aeet
sary for the same mills or not), during the twenty y<
last before the institution of the suit, subject only to such
qualifications and limitations as have been acknowledged
or rightfully exercised by the plaintiffs as riparian pro-
prietors, or owners of the lower mill dam, during that
period. Their rights stop there. They have*no right to
appropriate surplus water not used by the riparian pro-
prietors, it being their inheritance and not open to occu-
pancy. The trench proprietors do not hold a mere
waste-water privilege. The plaintiff's do not establish a
pre-eminent right; but if they did, it would be limited to
the mills formerly existing, and to their usual priority of
supply; which, in a conflict of right, and a deficiency of
water, they were accustomed to take and require, and
not an unlimited right over all the water for all future
mills. The court consider this claim of pre-eminent
right as suspended in doubt, and that relief ought not to
be given against the positive denial of the respondents.
The fact of actual flow and use of water for a considera-
ble time, is proof of a general right, and no limitations
are to be presumed unless such as have constantly been
acquiesced in by those whose interests were adversi .
For a period of forty or fifty years the water did flow in
the trench without any known limitation upon it by gran'
or usage. The acts of interruption since that period,
were either .such as referred to removal of temporary
dams intended to increase the supply, or were under
circumstances so questionable as to leave behind them no
clear traces of any admission of right, or uniform ac-
quiescence in them, as just exercises of superior adverse
interests.

The judge decided that "the owners of Sergeant' :
trench have a r%ht to the flow of the quantity of water
which was accustom* d to How therein antecedent to 17U6;
tbat the right is genera) and not qualified by any perma-
nent right in the plaintiff, or other owners of the lowei
dam; either as riparian proprietors or otherwise, to the
use of the water in ease of a deficiency; that if th<

Koiiutrsitv \ siium.s, July 26,1827.
sir Your letter of the .2d inst. was handed to
me, late last evening, and 1 hasten to answer the inqui-
ries, as requested, in regard to the case of Harris and the
sjtheY live militia men who were executed a) Mobile.

The regiment to which these unfortunate men belong-
ed, was received into the service by the orders of the

mustl red for a six month . tour.
and was pa.d accordingly, for said service, as will ap-
pear by the muster and pay rolls, and by colonel Pipkin's
report to me. These rolls, with colonel Pipkin's report,
ihe pro nee of the court martial detailed

lor the trial, and all the circumstances connected with the
subject, are or ought to be, on record at Washington city,
where I have no doubt, Mr. Buckner has bad a full op-
portunity of examining them. 1 confidently assert, that
they stamp the allegations. of Mr. Buckner with false-
hood.

The letter which Mr. Buckner now makes use of, in
order to injure my character, is well ascertained to be
a forgery. It was first published by Binns, editor of the
ratic Press, purporting to be a letter from the un-
fortunate Harris to me. Now this man never wrote but
one letter to me, that I ever saw, or heard of before this
publication, and in that he acknowledged himself to be
guilty of the enormous crimes charged against hiin, and
stated his willingness to meet the just sentence of the
court. If Mr. Buckner was as desirous to cull the truth
from the archives ofthe nation, as ho is to pluck from me
xny ha * bat ge-

neral Winchester, who commanded at Mobile at the time
that this liiiius letter is dated, made several communica-
tions to me after that date, and before he had any know-
ledge that the battle ofNew Orleans had been fought.
t this circumstance shew the impossibility ot Mr.
Harris having this know ledge at the time stated, and still
it be could have gained it in time to have made it
a ground of application tor mercy. The letters ot gen.
Winchester to me show that he did not receive intelligence
ofthe victory until the 17th January: this forged letter
gives the intelligence to Mr. Harris twt> days before.
Strange indeed, thai Mr. Harris closely confined in jail
should be bo much earlier informed than the comman-
dant of that post.

It would gi\e me great pleasure to send you printed
copies from the documents in my possession, properly
certified, proving what I ba\e here asserted, but it is im-
possible that tliis can be done within so short a period as
that requested. I trust, bow ever, that the statementhere
made will be sufficient, with all honor., ble men. to coun-
teract the false expressions sought to be forced upon the
freemen of Kentucky by Mr. Buckner.

As a public or private man, speaking of transactions
which concern the reputation and characters of others,
every manly let ling should remind him, that he ought to
be guided by established facts, not by the hearsay of a
party; and when he thus produces facts, or the least
plausible ground upon which to bottom such charges, :is
those which you have recited, 1 pledge myself to beat
all times ready to meet him at the bar of my country.

It may be proper to remark in conclusion, that the
finding of the court proves conclusively that those men
were legally, in service or otherwise, that they must
hare been acquitted. I approved, ot their condemna-
tion, because they were the promoters and ringleaders of
the mutiny and desertion, committed at a p< riod when
the safety of our southern frontiers was threatened at a
period which called for the mosl energetic measures, ami
when every nerve of the government was stretched in the
defence of our liberties. When they violated the law in
sucli an attrocious manner, the public good demanded
their sacrifice. Had they have done their duty as faith-
ful soldiers, their country would have rewarded them
with its protection and gratitude. I am sir, your most
obedient servant, ANDREW JACKSON.

William Owens.

P. S. It will be recollected in the revolutionary war.
at a time of great trial, gen. Washington ordered de-
serters to be shot without trial. Capt. Reed under this
order, having arrested three, had one shot without trial,
and his head brought to the general; but he, (gen. Wash-
ington), reprimanded Reed for not shooting the whole
three. General Green, near Rudgly's mill, South Caro-
lina, savs Gordon's history, had eight men hung on one
pole for desertion. Johnson's life of Green says five,
without court martial. 1 only apjH-oved ofthe pi oceedings
of a court composed of men who were the friends and
neighbors of those to be tried by them. Respectfully,
ANDREW JACKSON.
///(, July 17, 1827. I Robert W '. Hart, adjutant,
general of the first brigade r;f Tennesse militia, in the
late southern war, do certify that I was at the encamp-
ment, within three miles of Mobde, in 1814, when a

was organized for the trial of certain militia men, who de-
serted from foi t Jackson, under the command of col.
Pipkin that I remained at Mobile and the neighborhood
until the business of the court martial was Completed, and
foi sometime afterwards. I was present at the execu-
tion ofthe six ring leaders adjudged to suffer the sentence
of death; but I do certify that that part ofthe sentence
ofthe court martial ordering the one half ofthe heads of
a large Dumber of the offenders to be shav d, and the of-
fenders to be drummed out of earn p never was carried into
effect, said delinquents having been pardoned by gen.
Jackson, in obedience to which pardon each and every
one was honorably discharged. R. W. HART.

.TNO. BRANCH.

Mr. President As I cannot, consistently with a sense
of duty, give a silent vote on the present occasion, I must
indulgence of the senate for a few moments, while
1 shall attempt, in a plain, frank, and brief manner, to
give the reasons why 1 am unwilling toadviseand i
to this appointment.

lam duly impressed with the momentous duty we are
about to perform, and the importance of the crisis, con-
nected with the deep responsibility which attaches to each
and every member; and hence my solicitude to arrive at
truth by the best reflections which 1 have been capable of
bestowing on the subject-
To guide and direct us on this, as well as every other
occasion, it may be well, first, to look to the commission
under which, and from which we derive all our powers,
to wit: the constitution of the U. States, which we have
all taken a solemn oath to preserve, maintain and defend,
not in the letter only, but according to its true intent, and
meaning. While I readily admit that the letter, and per-
haps, the rigid construction of that instrument, does not
imperatively forbid the confirmation of this nomination
yet I liazard nothing in saying that every reason which
could have operated on the convention to induce them
to insert the following clause, applies with increased force
to influence the senate to reject the distinguished indivi-
dual, whose nomination we are now about to act upon.
The clause is a3 follows:

"No senator or representative shall, during the time
for which he was elected, he appointed to any office under
the authority of the United States, which shall have been
created, or the emoluments whereof shall have been in-
creased during such time, and no person holding any of-
fice under the United States, shall be a member of either
house during his continuance in office:"

I would ask, why and wherefore is it that, no member
of either house is permitted to hold an office which he
has assisted to create, or the emoluments of which have
been increased by his vote? Because, sir, it was wisely
foreseen that he might be influenced to vote for the one
or the other from mercenary or interested motives.

What is the present case' Henry Clay, a member of
the house of representatives, has made, or, if you please,
has mainly contributed to make John Q. Adams presi-
dent ot these United Suites, and this president, thus made
in opposition to the known will and wishes of the Aim ri-
can people, and under circumstances of an extraordinary
character, has Called upon the senate ot the United States

to ad via .t to this efficient friend, a member ol

the very house that has conferred on him the chief ma-
of ibis republic, should be made secretary of
I would respectfully ask, whether, in sanctioning
or confirming this nomination, we are not infringing on the
obvious policy of the constitution/ 1 For if a member mail
be supposed to vote to create an office, or to increase th<'
salary, with a view to his individual gain, may he not with
as much propriety be suspected of voting from sordid or
interested considerations, when be makes an officer, who,
in turn, gives him an office' 1 1 will not trepass on the
time of the senate, by any farther effort to illustrate and
enforce the coincidence of the reasons in the two oases.
They must be apparent to every intelligent mind,
waiving all objections which manifestly result from the
foregoing considerations, 1 would ask, whether, from a
decent re speet to public sentiment, we ought not to put
our veto on this nomination ? I am not prepared to assert
positively that corruption has mingled with this transac-
tion; but this much 1 feeJ authorised to say and believe,
that the circumstances connected with the recent presi-
dential election and this nomination, are sufficient to fix

on the public mind the strongest suspicions that they had
been cheated out of their rights by corruption and intrigue;
and, inasmuch as our government is based on public con-
fidence, it is of the very last importance that our founda-
tion be well guarded. The administration of the govern-
ment should not only be pure, but its purity, as far as
practicable, should not be suspected. Let us view things
as they exist in practical life. The senate was prudently
designed to act as a check on the appointing power, not,
I admit, to be exercised capriciously, but fearlessly and
independently when the public good requires. How often
have w< eulogized and boasted of our republican institu-
tions; our happy distribution of the powers of the govern-
ment; the salutary checks and balances to be found in
our constitution; and the effectual barriers which have
been provided to prevent the encroachment of either
upon the powers of the other, and the consequent protec-
tion to all classes and interests' But if these things are
only to be found in the theory of our government, I would
not give a fig for them. The different departments should
in some respects be considered as rivals, each watching
every opportunity to .strengthen itself and weaken its ri-
val. Let us, therefore, be vigilant in the exercise of our
constitutional powers, guarded as well against open as-
sault, as covert, insidious encroachments. For, however,
lofty and high sounding may be the sentiment which we
sometimes near uttered of independence of the people,
the legitimate proprietors of this government; yet this in-
dependence, connected with the dependence on tin; dis-
pensing power, is fraught with the most alarming con-
sequences fo the liberties of the people; for, as we re-
cede from the one, we impreceptibly glide unto the dead-
ly embrace of the other. From a retrospect of the past,
lesson"? of wisdom may often be extracted. We see some
receive their doceur promptly, others, perhaps ten times
the number, are kept in a state of expectancy, and many
have their hopes and fears operated on, who, like the
sanguine Irishman, calculating on drawing a prize, when,
forsooth, he had no ticket in the lottery. It is time to
pause, and look the mischief full in the face. Has it come
to this, that nothing but proof positive of corruption will
justify the senate in arresting an appointment ! If so we
are more degenerate than i had imagined. What are
the facts of this case, as generally admitted to be true,
to which we are not at liberty to turn a deaf ear? We
see two political opponents, neither having confidence
in the oilier, at a critical moment, when the loaves and
fishes are about to be divided, the one, in opposition to
the well ascertained wishes of the people of bis state, fly
into each other's arms, and cordially embrace, without
aught appearing to the world of reconciliation and adjust-
ment of former differences, By which means, and by
which alone, the one is enabled to grasp the presidential
chair in violation of the sovereignty of the people with a
salary of $25,000 per year, and the senate of the United
Stabs is called upon to aid this president, thus made to
confer on the other the state department, with a salary of
$6,000, and thereby making him heir apparent to the pre-
sidency. Comment would be superfluous to a body as
enlightened as the one I am addressing. Why was the
concurrence of the senate required by the patriotic aud
wise fraraers of our constitution, if we have nothing more
todo than to register the edicts of the president? Ill ibis
case the exalted standing of the individuals makes it more
imperiously our duty to act firmly. Therefore, 1 cannot
I will not, advise' and consent to this appointment.

SVe have several other articles of like character,
and on both sales, lying over, and shall give place to
some of them, at the risk of increasing the quantity ol
space to be allowed for counter-statements. Qetieral

Weave aware of the difficulty of selecting what are

on these points must rest with ourselves. There is no

ceding articles we regard as "special," and for example,

corruptible enemy of their sentiments and proje

nothing particularly, of the- European influence
hostile to the U. States, and therefore auxiliary to the
Scotch masons, which he must have had to encounter;
and which could not be suffered toeio the work of intri-
gue and misrepresentation without being at least closelv
watched, and occasionally resisted by direct and overt
ithin the sphere of his official character and
errand. No American could have been found, more
signally qualified in all respects for the post which he fills,
than tin- gentleman in question; none could have display-
ed more zeal or more liberality of every kind, than he
has exerted throughout his diplomatic career; and we be-
lieve that his countrymen will give him credit for having
faithfully and skilfully served them, but upon different
grounds from those on which the Vera Cruz legislature-
acknowledge that merit.

\l he was a plenipotentiary, of the old European, ma-
chiavelian stamp, and less fond of truth and the real hon-
or of his country, he might congratulate himself on be-
ing thus denounced for havingtoo adroitly and successfully
followed the presumed instructions and ends of his go-
vernment. We may add that the wise men of Vera
Cruz, by identifying him and the United States with the-
party which must,\u the end, rule in Mexico, have done
more to render them ultimately popular and influential,
than he could have accomplished by any efforts. .

AN* EXPOSITION or THE P0LTCT OF THE I'MTF!) STATES
TOWARDS THE NEW REPUBLICS OK AMERICA.

So long as the attacks which have heen made in Mexico
upon the character and policy of the government of the
United States of America, and upon the honor and refu-
tation of the undersigned, were confined to anonymous
publications, they excited no other feeling than thai of
contempt, and have been passed over with silent scorn.
But when the respectable legislature of Vera Crux em-
bodies in a solemn appeal to the Mexican nation, the sub-
stance of these unfounded calumnies, he teds that he
would be wanting to himself and to the government which
he represents, if be forebore any longer from vindicating
the character and conduct of the United States in their re-
lations with these countries, or if he- suffered such misre-
presentations to go forth to the world, sanctioned by so
table an authority, unanswered and unrefuted.

ficant and almost null that of the north, provided Mexico
is permitted to move' forward peaceably in the 1 new or-

and friendly relations between Mexico and Great Britain
might prove disadvantageous to the interests of his coun-

pursuing an open, frank and magnanimous course to-
wards them all, neither attempting I

mpelition wjth any nation. If
nature has denied them the fertile soil, the fine climate,
and the rich mines of gold and silver which Mexico pos-
sesses, they . n compensated in their estima-
tion, by the noble harbors and bays, which indent their
coast, "by the bold and navigable streams which facilitate
their internal trade, and, above all, by the industry and
enterprise of the ir hardy and virtuous population, Cuid-
ed by enlightened views of political economy, and by mo*
tones of the .soundest policy, they are desirous to see their
neighbors wealthy and powerful, in order that they may
efficient allies, and more profitable customers.
They are more advanced in the arts and in commerce than
Mexico or Colombia; but what would this profit them, if
Mexico nor Colombia possessed the means of pur-
their manufactures or of employing their shipping'
They *re united to these nations so intimately by com-
mon interest, that if the liberties of America were to be
attacked through them, the United States would be com-
pelled to stand forth on their defence. . What then would
it avail those slates that their neighbors should be redu-
lo poverty and weakness?
The legislature of Vera Cruz suspect* that the commer-
cial and friendly relations which exists bet ween this coun-
try and Great Britain may in time prove disadvantageous
to the interests of the United States. In what manner
the sagacity of the undersigned is at a loss to understand.
Here too, the government of the United States, if the
suspicions of the legislature of Vera Cruz have any
foundation in truth, have proceeded with equal i
dence. So far were they from believing that the friendly
-which might be formed between (J. Britain and
would never become prejudicial
to their interests, that they invited Great Britain to join
them in recognizing the independent luntries.
They afterwards urged the cabinet of St. Jamci to follow
their example, and they have constantly and earnestly used
their good offices to induce the governments of Europe,
including Spain, to treat with those of Spanish Ami nca
on the footing of independent nations. They exulted in
seeing their example followed by Great Britain, and are
satisfied that the interests of the two countries with res-
pect to the new states of America are identified.

Having thus answered the suspicions of the legislature
of Vera Cruz, by simple statement of facts, the under-
signed feels it a duty to himself to disprove the assertions
made by that legislature, that in order to engender dlfr
e rd anion? the worthy inhabitants of Mexico, who were
living in perfect harmony before bis arrival, under the do-
minion of the Scotch Masons, he established the rite of
York!

The rite of York existed before his arrival in this
country. He found five lodges already establihsed, and he
done nothing more than send for charters for them from
the grand lodge of New York, at their request to iustal
the grand lodge of Mexico.

If the undersigned had found in Mexico a despotic go-
vernment, he mould not have taken even this small navt in

; masonry in the country; but he could
not suppose that any objection could be made in a re-
the formation of an institution so purely
and perfectly republican as that of the ancient York ma-
! * this institution, dedicated in his own country to
le and philanthropic purposes exclusivelv, has
been perverted to those of political combinations, lie has
had no part in its application to such uses, and embraces
with eagerness the opportunity now afforded him of de-
claring that henevei in an j lodge where politi-
cal principles were discussed, or political combination
formed, and that since the public voice has accused the
Fork masons of following the pernicious example
3e >tch masons by using their institution for politi-
cal purposes, he has withdrawn himself entirely from
their meetings. He did not therefore * l concitve andbrinir
forth this project;" and whether the establishment of the
right of York in Mexico has been productive of good or
evil, he has stated the only part Ik bad in its creation.
And he can declare that he has never taken any part in the
internal concerns' of Mexico, unless, to advocate in a re-
public upon every fitting occasion, the superiority of are-
publican form 01 government over all others to explain
She practical benefits of the institutions of the V. Btatea
and the blessings which his countrymen have enjoyed
and still continue to enjoy under them, be considered an
interference with the internal concerns of this country.

That the undersigned or the government he represent f?
should be desirous to see established in this country a
monarchy, and a Bourbon or descendant of lturbide plant-
ed on the throne of Mexico, is too absurd to merit a serious
answer. The government of the United States holds.
that every nation has an undoubted right to choose what-
ever form of government it may judge proper, and the
United States have not interfered, nor will they ever inter-
fere with that, right; but both that government and the peo-
ple of the United States are republicans, and hailed with
the most heart- felt satisfaction the establishment of u
federal government in Mexico.

The mistake committed by the legislature of Vera Cruz,
in supposing the prevaling party to be governed by the
undersigned, is apparent from the single circumstance of
the extraordinary delay which has attended the conclusion
of the negotiations which brought him to this country.

It is with deep regret tlr.it the undersigned has found
himself under the necessity of exposing the fallacy of the
manifest issued by the legislature of the state of Vera
Cruz. The legislature of a respectable and sovereign
state ought to have been more cautious than to publish
serious charges against the character and conduct of u
foreign governtnenf on suspicions which are not only un-
founded, but which have been clearly and incontrovertibly
disproved; or to hazard assertions meeting the reputation
of a foreign minister, unsubstantiated by the slightest
proof, and which have been shewn to be utterly false.

You see then, that this is a combined attack of the

succour to the sheep.
The planting interest, refusing to become the dupea.
have at length alter a series of successful attacks upon
them during the last ten years, become the victims ot ma-

means of a drilled and managed majority in congress,
permanently to force upon us a system, whose effect will
be to sacrifice the south to the north, by converting us
into colonies and tributaries to tax us for their own

tliat the manufacturers were a combining, club meeting,

planning, scheim ; [ ng, inemoralising, com-

plaining, stati - .ng, worrying, tcazing, Itoring,

persevereing class of men r ot surprise,

that they should get the better of the fanners and plant-
ers in every struggle ? The citizens nfthia last named
class, live at a distance from each other; they do not ^n-
joy the facilities of associating that a town affords; hence
they are never alive to danger till it i> just ready to
hurst upon them; they are usually behind hand with the
information of the day; they are too apt to procrastinate;
they do not act in concert and en masse; when puhlie
meetings are called, it is, at a distance hum their homes;
ttend with inconvenience and reluctance; unused
to consultation, aud to concert inaction, their deepest

Id seem hardly to affect them. Hence the agricul-
turists have no special delegates to tak>- care of their in-
terests; they nave no opportunities of being heard be-
fore committees in reply to manufactur.ng representa-
tions; they have no concerted plan of opposition to a con-
certed plan of attack; however powerful the talents of;
their representatives, they are of no avail where it is
determined to vote down the arguments that cannot be
answered. Hence it is, that the south is destined to hear
the weight of taxes and impositions, without measure
and without end. By and by are shall be driven to adopt
some decisive measure when the power is gone from us.
Wealth will he transferred to the north, and wealth is
power, livery year of submission rivets the chains upon
US, and we shall go on remonstrating, complaining and
reluctantly submitting, till the remedy now in power, will
be looked up to in \ain. Those who reflect upon the
progress, cannot be mistaken as to the results of this
"American system." It is in vain that the force- of argu-
ment is with us; the hand of power is against us aud upon
us; we are within its grasp, and nothing but determina-
tion and decision can prevent our being prostrated.

If you suppose that the efforts ol the manufacturers
a ill ever be stopped till the principle of protecting duties

j ther abandoned in our national legislature, you
will be mistaken. Manufacture is a hydra. You are not
freed from applications because) on have rejected a do-
wn. The motto of a manufacturer .no w and al-
ways, here and every where is Monopoly, to put down all

iuou, and to command exclusively every market.
To compel every one to buy at the manufacturers .prices

M li at the manufacturers price. Such is the result

A few words more as to congressional management
i ict v. ell known to the members of 1S'~\> and lS-i,
that the committee on which Mr. Todd was made chair-
man, because be was a fit pi rsoD to do as lie was bid,
received all their information, and all their instruction
from the manufacturers within the house, and their lobby
friends without: that the manufacturing interest acting for
themseivej and not for the nation, earned the tariff ot
that year: Mr. Todd the chairman who had be<
politician, not m ell succeeding as a practising lawyer, was
strut there by the iron ma Jford, Some

Alleghany counties, himself not having an idea on the
subject but what was supplied by the persons whose cause
he was sent there to advocate: it was those persons sir
who took the no small trouble with this man, to "pang
himlu' of knowledge." That Mr. Baldwin, who with
far more talent preceded him, was a lawyer sent by the
manufacturers of Pittsburgh, and whose practice depend-
ed greatly on them. These gentlemen must be consider-
ed as lawyers employed by local communities; pleading
the cause of particular interests; not as independent ad-
vocates for great national rights, or strictly what they
ought to have been, national representatives. 1 impute
to then) no misdemeanor in thus acting.

lible to get rid of this difficulty in legislating this
too natural attempt, to push forward partial and local
interests under the stolen garb of patriotism, at t]
pence of national rights and general expedience. But al-
though we may not be abb- to get rid of it in practice, we
may well be permitted to allow for it in course of argu-
ment, and to rank it among the causes by which votes,
are influenced, and partial views preferred to g
good: for the fact itself is too well known to be denied.

1 do not therefore consider that tariff as having been pass-
ed by our national representatives in congress at Wash-
ington, but by the manufacturers and the representative;;
of the manufacturers. That this is a true account of the
matter, I dare venture to appeal, to our members of the
house of representatives then at Washington.

Un that occasion sir, Henry Clay at that time a manu-
facturer of cot&on-baggtng from Kentucky at present, a
manufacturer of presidents, coalition-monger, and comp-
troller of governmental presses, moved for a duty on
cotten-bagging so heavy, that ids brother manufacturers
became alarmed, and refused to go the whole length
with this truly disinterested and national representative!
They did however agree in conformity to the g<
plan, to lay a duty, though less in amount, on cotton-bag-
ging. The effect of that duty 1 beg leave to state from
the "Natchez Ariel" of the beginning of June, lS'ir.

Cotton Hugging. A writer in the Natchez. Ariel on
the subject ot bagging, says "By the operation of the
tariff the Scotch bagging is nearly excluded from our
market, and we are forced to rely on the friends of that,
measure, our neighbors in Kentucky, exclusively for our
supplies. They may put what price they please on it,
and we must pay it, so long as they know we cannot be
supplied through other channels. Hence we find specu-
lators from that state buying up the articles at the enor-
mous price of 26 cents per yard, and with a reasonable
hope too, of realizing from four to six cents per yard.
It. may be said, the turn' has been when we paid 40 cents
without murmuring:' true, that was when cotton brought
30 and 3'2 cents per pound."

\V hen 1 state sir, that Henry (May was engaged in the
manufacture of cotton- bagging, 1 stale what was generally
said and believed at that time; and which has never, that
I know of, been since doubted or denied. I am sorry
for it. It was a proposal and a vote, by no means honor-
able to him as a representative; and not in harmony with
bis general carelessness as to pecuniary accumulation.
But Mr. Clay sir, who is a lawyer, ought to have known,
that no man cbnht:d niih authority for the benefit of
another, shall he permitted to nee it for 'the benefit of him-
self. There is no principle of equity more wisely, more
honestly, or more permanently settled. Would to hea-
ven it had been written in large characters and hung over
die speaker's chair? 1 am not sure of its effective opera-
tion, but it would be one among the principles of honor and
honesty which have been strangely forgot ten in that house.
A few years ago, Mr. brougham moved in the house of
commons, that no member should be permitted to vote
upon a bill in whose passage he was personalty interest-
ed. No order was taaen ou the motion, because it was
already considered as parliamentary law; with some limi-
tation of a general nature, which there was no time then
to discuss. If it be not among the rules and orders of the
il is among the rules and orders that an honest
ild lay down for bis own guidance. The neglect
of it in congress, is deeply felt at this moment in South
Carolina.

hen the constitution was first framed, one of the
leading motives to lis adoption was to prevent one State
from taking the advantage of another by inequalities
in the custom house duties. Hence the rule of our fe-
deral constitution, that no preference shall be given by
any regulation of commerce and revenue, to the p
one state over those of another. It is true, we Conform
to this regulation of the letter, but we mock it in the
tense. Can any man to the north of us, be hardy enough
to deny thai the monopolists are now staking in tact, that
advantage over the south, which the plain meaning ot the
constitution has forbidden? If imposts must be laid tor
their benefit, aud we are to pay tliem, can they call such
a regulation of custom house duties, equality?

them. At equal qualities and equal prices e would pre-
fer the home on all occasions to the foreign manufacture.

Suppose a farmer in Pennsylvania should take it into
his head to raise sugar, and the scheme should fail in point
of profit, would the Massachusetts manufacturer consent
to make up the loss of this injudicious speculation? Now
a former or a planter like a manufacturer must invest his
skill and capital on his own responsibility at his own risk;
and not at the risk of those who are with, equal injustice
and absurdity called upon to share the loss, without being
entitled be profit. Equal it}' is equity says the

law. What equality is there between us, it you take all the
profit and I bike all the loss? Nor is it any wonder that es-
tablishments so profitable as those of /J aUham unci Lowell,
should entice a disproportionate and exhorbitant amount
of capital into similar investments. The manufacturers
boast of the millions upon millions that have within these
two or three years heen employed in manufacturing es-
tablishments. Is this not proof undeniable, that before
before they were suddenly and im-
prudently gluted with capital, the manufacturer needed no
protection ) Is it not clear that the profit was exhorbitant 3
Or how came capitalists to embark so largely in expecta-
tion of this profit? That sums so enormous, so suddenly
I on the race course, should cross and jostle and
with each other, and in great part defeat their
own intentions, is in the usual, natural course of things:

as the sun at noon day, that if this provoked re-

in the success of the scheme, which in its consequences,
gives them the monopoly also of the raw material? Our
misfortune will be their harvest We shall then be com-

files is no where expressly given by our federal
constitution? That the subject could not have been
thought of in that early day, (IS'J?)? That the regula-
tion of commerce between us unci foreign riations, is a
different thing from taxing our own citizens in favor of
home manufactures? That the regulation of buying and
selling abroad, is one thing and of buying and selling at
home, another'' Can you, by any means, compel this
afterthought construction, to harmonise with the equal
spirit of our republican institutions?

Must I show you at full length, that the nation can
hardly be the gainer by the European system, of taxing
the many for the benefit of the few > The holy alliance,
the British ministry, or the combination of monopolists
might perhaps succeed in making out such a case, but I
decline the task of refuting it. 1 will not argue this point
with an American I will take it for granted here at least,
that this cannot be an American system!

Shall I prove to you that our commerce, that our reve-
nue, that our navy are paralyzed by these attempts?
That this is the way first to irritate the enemy and then
to sell us to him: the merchants have already made this
too clear to be denied.

Shall I prove to you, that a protecting duty once laid
on, was never taken off with the consent of the manufac-
turer? Let the instance be produced to the contrary by
those who venture to assert the contrary.

Sir, I will not condescend to waste either your time or
my own, by any attempt at proving, that no man whose
opinion is worth having, will be hardy enough to deny.

I have said, that we shall 'ere long be compelled to cal-
culate the value of our union; and to enquire of what us::
to us isthis most unequal alliance? By which the south
has always been the loser, and the north always tin.

gamer

[s it worth our while to continue this union of

States, where the north demand to be our masters and
squired to be their tributaries? Who with tho
most insulting mockery call the yoke they put upon our
necks the American system! The question, however,
pproaching to the alternative, of submission or
separation. Most anxiously would every man vvlio hears
me wish on fair and equal terms to avoid it. But, if the
monopolists are bent upon forcing the decision upon us,
with themselves be the responsibility. Let us however

Mr. Murphy, however, of North Carolina, (and not
the political friend of either Mr. Adams or Mr. Clay,)
lately paid the following handsome compliment to their
talents in an oration delivered before the university of his
state.

"In our country" says Mr. Murphy, "we have lately
seen one of our most eminent scholars raised to the chief
magistracy of the nation, and the greatest orator of the
age appointed his prime minister. I speak not here of
politics: Literature has no factions, good taste no par-
ties."

Rights of exporters. In a ease tried recently in
London, in which a Mrs. Seott and her husband Mere
plaintiffs, and a newspaper reporter the deiendaut, and in
which the complaint was grounded on a publication of
certain affidavits which went to shew that she had com-
mitted perjury in her subsecment testimony, the privi-
: the reporter were discussed at length. Lord chief
Justice Best presided, and, in summing up, took occa-
sion to say, on the subject of reporting trials, that "it
<-. as most useful and proper to publish proceedings of
causes in the high courts of Westminster, when finally
concluded, as such publications were calculated to dis-
tribute most useful, interesting and valuable information
throughout the country. The public were entitled to
such information, even although at the expense of private
character, unless the detail Was calculated to shock pub-
lie decency, or to injure the morals of the country."
rthing damages was awarded.

BTTEHim church. At the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church in the United States, it appear-
ed that the* number of Presbyteries was 89; of ministers
of the gospel 2,214; of licentiates 818; of candidates for
the gospel ministry 2-'J; of churches 1,887; of additions
to the full communion of the church during the li
1-2,938; of persons now in the full communion '
of adults baptized during the last year 2,%:";, and of
infants baptized in the same time 10,229; making a to-
tal of 13,191 cases of baptism. Increase of ordained
ministers since the last year 87, notwithstanding the

Of Moito.vv. Several other persons have been
tried in Ontario county, N\ * York, as concerned hi the
abduction of William Morgan. They were all acquitted.
It is stated that some additional facts in relation to this
mysterious affair have been elicited, but the fate of the
individual vet seems as much veiled as before. AH pei-

luld anxiously desire a developement of the facts
that the guilty may be punished and the innocent i
of the unjust suspicious entertained of them. Much ex-
citement still prevails about this matter, and will exist
until the truth is known.

"JoDRXIX of Commerce." We have i
ral numbers of a yew paper with this title published in

Neu York; its appearance is highly creditable to il
ductors,and its capacious columns are well filled with in-
teresting commercial and miscellaneous articles, with a
large share of advertisements. As it excludes all thea-
trical and lottery advertisements, it will no doubt receive
a liberal patronage from those to whom the sock and hus-
kin afford no pleasure, and think it better to hold on to
the good they have titan risk it for something better.

Greek thanks. Th provisional government of
Greece have passed votes of thanks to the president of
the United States, the king of Bavaria, ami Mr. Eynard,
for the great interest taken by them in the affairs of suf-
fering Greece.

Greece. The Constittitiomiel says: "Few nations are
more favored by nature than Greeee. How flourishing
then would she become with peace and liberty, and what
resources would she afford to commerce and industry.
At the beginning of 1825, the population of the 27 epar-
chies of the peninsula of the Morea was 700,000 souls:
one twelfth of the territory belongs to the state, and con-
sists of forests, olive plantations, salt pits, fisheries, public
baths, country houses, and gardens. The revenue of the
Morea, at the same period, exclusive of the domains of
the state, amounted to five millions of francs. Northern
Greece, divided into '26 eparchies, contained in 1 HJ'.,
a population of 800,000 souls. The disasters of war have
so completely overwhelmed this part of Greece that the
revenue has only amounted to three millions and a half
of francs. The archipelago and the rest of Greece unit-
ed, contain a population of 300,000 souls, who paid to lli>
state one million Of francs, and possessed 800 vc
different sizes* The national debt at that time was 23 mil-
lions of francs. If Greece still breathes, notwithstanding
tin- extraordinary efforts of her powerful enemies, she
owes it to her own heroism and the succour ofCll
nations advanced in civilization. We hope that neither
the source of the succour nor lite heroism -.sill dry up.'"

Xerxes took the citadel, put the garrison to the

The temple was rebuilt by Pericles with great additional

fcnHWIBj Mr. Crocker, the secretary af the
British admiralty, observed lately in the British house
f commons

'ror his part he would say that he felt most anxious
that the question of impressment should be discussed,
and he could say the same on the part of those who
were connected with the admiralty. He confidently be-
lieved that a great deal of misunderstanding existed upon
subject; and lie felt perfectly satisfied, that when it
tame to a fair discussion, he would be able to shew us
the house and the country that impressment could not
be abandoned without abandoning the vital interests of
tlie country. In the next place, he should say that eve-
ry thing that could be done for making impressment unne-
cessary, had been attended to by the heads of the service.
Inducements had been held out to seamen to enter the
navy, not only by good treament, but by regulations,
many of which were complete, whilst others were in
progress. There was no one point upon which the ad-
miralty had not taken pains to effect an amelioration of
the condition of the seamen in the king's service. Were

4 lent an opportunity of going into the subject in

tail, he shook) find little difficulty in satisfying the
house, that the seamen not only of the fleet, but of the
country generally, were fully impressed with a convic-
tion, that every possible benefit was now conferred upon
them, or was in progress of being conferred. The na-
val service had become more popular with, the seamen
than the merchant service. "

Imvorts ami expobts of France. A late London
paper says We subjoin, for the perusal of our readers,
the following calculation of the French imports, and ex-
ports reduced into sterling money:

Francs. s. d.

1826. Value of goods

imported into France 564,728,610 23,530,354 11 8.
Ditto exported, ditto 560,508,769 23,354,532 10

Excess of imports

In 1826, 542 French
ships exported to the
colonies

443 ships imported

Excess of exports to co-
lonies

It appears from the preceding extracts, that in 1826
the sum total of the French imports amounted to
23,530,354 lis. 8d. sterling, whilst the whole of the
exports amounted only to 23, 354,532 0s. lOd. giving
sn excess of imports of 175,822 10s. lOd. over the ex-
ports of that year. The Moniteur labors hard to con-
sole the French nation for a result, usually considered as
highly disadvantageous and detrimental to the commer-
cial pursuits ofa nation, and with this view gives a com-
parison of the colonial trade of France, from whence it is
made to appear that in this branch, the balance of trade
inclines the other way, and is considerably in favor ot'
France, as during the same year 542 French ships export-
ed goods to the colonies amounting to 2,623,100 10s.
lOd. sterling, whilst the imports into France in 443 ships,
from the colonies, amounted'to only 2,544,680 5s. ster-
ling, leaving an excess of 78,420 5s. lOd. of exports
over imports. The French importations and exportation,
upon the whole, appears to us much more important in
amount, and much nearer approaching our o\v n, than the
public was in general aw are of, especially when due re-
gard is had to the comparative value of money in both
countries, and when we consider that the trade of France
rests almost entirely upon the basis ofa metallic circula-
tion, estimated at one hundred millions sterling, without
any considerable admixture of paper currency, exchequer
bills, or oilier transferrable government securities.

The son of Louis Bonaparte lias addressed, through the
medium of the Constitutionnel, abetter to M. Puna dr
1'rlerault, complaining of some invectives against his fa-
ther, in a work entitled "Congress de Chattillon," of
which M. Pons is the author. In doing this, the young
Bonaparte takes occasion tint's to ad veil to what was said
by the counsel of .M. Fraiiceselietti in the late action ot
the widow of Murat: "The number of persons who
strike at fallen powers, is as great as that once formed by
its Batterers. It is not, therefore, surprising that the ad-
vocate f iuill.ert Boucher, or rather he whose instrument
that lawyer was, should belongto that class of persons,
dared to insult the former queen of Naples, be-
cause she is attended by one oi those men who do not
attach themselves only to the fortunate. Not. compre-
hending what it is to be disinterested, this lawyer insinu-
ates a calumny, in explanation of one of the noblest ac-
tions of the present age! Gen. M.acdonald has left his
friends, relations and country to toliow the fate of the
family of his deceased chief, he has refused honors and

OXFTCK OF THE COLONIZATION SocUITY, }

H'asldngten, September Itf, I8i7. C

The despatches just received at this office from Mr.
Ashman, colonial agent at Liberia, up to the 18th of
June, exhibit a detailed and most animating account of
tie- progress ot the colony, and such evidences of its pro-
ud utility as even its warmest friends would no'
have ventured to predict. History affords no instance,
we believe, ot a colony, enjoying at so early a period of
its existence, greater prosperity. From the numerous
documents transmitted bv Mr. Asbmun, we can at pre-
sent only give a few extracts, having reference to the ge-
neral interests ol the colony, omitting whatever is of sub*
ordinate importance.

"The passengers by the Doris, ninety-three in number.
were lauded, after a pleasant, but somewhat protracted
passage of forty-five days. All were, soon after their
arrival, slightly affected by the climate, which proved
fetal only to two small children." "The people from
Baltimore, (says Mr. Ashmtm), were the first, andge-
nerallj the greatest, (I might almost say theonlv). Suf-
ferers. 1 be Virginians followed next 'in the order of
time, as well as m the severity of their symptoms: and in
regard to the natives of North Carolina, all the cha.ee
they have undergone seems ta be less a disease than a
salutary. tfovfiof nature to accommodate the physical sv's-
tem ol jtssuhjeots, by a safe and gentle attenuation to the
new influences of a tropical climate. The most protracted
illness in the whole number, has- not lasted longer
than live days; Mr*? days is perhaps tlte average term of
the in-doon confinement of such as are pronounced sick
ami about one-third part have not been confined at all. "

Of the attentions experienced by the emigrants fa i i
ts particularly from William P. Matthews
esq. supercargo, .Mr. Asbmun speaks in the highest
terms, representing them as being of the most minute
and judicious kind, and indeed as all which the "most
amiable humanity and benevolence could prompt."

The factor] at Young Sellers; which was suspended
for a short season in consequence of a war between two
ol the native chiefs, has resumed its operations. "All
the public and private property which had been confided
to Freeman's protection during the absence of the factor,
wa^ scrupulously respected and preserved amid all the'
alarm and disorder of the war." Three of the colonics
are now permanently fixed at this factory, engaged in
trade and making improvements.

The St. Johns 1 establishment continues prosperous.
A large plantation has been connected with the factory of
the island, and the way is perfectly prepared for the in-
troduction of a little colony of twenty to thij-tv families to

U know* that a Mexican brig of war has lor
tying off die liali/e, and for the most
part, at anchor within our waters, For this indulgence
she has an undoubted claim on our hospitality, as. a neu-
tral nation, whether for repair oi damages of war. or whe-
ther fora supply of provisions, or refreshment of her
But these permitted objects mark the limits of
this indulgence. And however the cause for which they
are at war may entitle them to our sympathies, (and there
is no American w ho does not feel and confess them), still
so long as this nation remains within the pale of neutrality,
this neutral port can, under no pretext, be converted, di-
rectly or indirectly, into a recruiting station, for augment-
ing the force of their warlike hands.

iiu irregularities of this description, imputed to
persons resident within this city, have already given rise
to prosecutions against them, for an attempted breach of
the neutrality of their country, and for which, indue time,
they will be called to answer at its bar.

The reputed framer pf the hand bill in question, appa-
rently alluding to these irregularities, and ascribing them
to an ignoi-ati' s, as to what is and what is not

permitted to be done; and undertaking to distinguish in
this respect the relative rights and duties of neutrals and
belligerants, publicly invites, not merely Mexican sea-
men, but all foreigners indiscriminately within our juris-
diction, to array themselves under his popular standard,
against a nation with which we are at peace, and towards
which our neutrality is guaranteed b\ a treaty, and guard-
ed by municipal enactments.

For this erroneous gloss upon the laws, not. to speak ol

the invitation also to citizens, and of the general aspect of
such a paper, in a neutral port, and for the sake oi those
who might otherwise heedlessly encounter the penalties
of the law, 1 reluctantly resort to this public nol ice; and
u ill take leave to remind them, that, like the allegiance
due from citizens, a temporary allegiance is due also from
foreigners re-siding at all under the protection and autho-

New Orleans, Jlug. 18, 1S ; .27.

From the J&w Orleans Advertiser of *1ug. CO.
Mr. Editor, Tin: public prosecutor, J. \V. Smith,

esq. district attorney of the United Stales, having notic-
ed a hand-bill, circulated by me, to guard seamen, and
others, desirous of entering the Mexican service from in-
volving themselves in difficulties by infractions of the law
against foreign enlistment, and as, by the tenor of tin-
above notice, impressions may he made on the minds of
some of a disposition on my part to countenance n viola-
tion of the laws and neutrality of the United Suites, I
deem it advisable to lay before the public the hand-bill
alluded to, and brietly to explain the causes which gave
rise to it, w hich were as follows:

About seventy seamen, chiefly foreigners, desirous of
enlisting in the Mexican service sailed Irom New Orleans
to embark on board the Mexican brig of war Guerrero,
then cruizing oft' the Belize. The officers oithe govern-
ment, hearing of their intention, instead of using mea-
sures in this city for preventing the act, if there was any
thing illegal in it, placed boats in the river at the passes
below to intercept them on their way to the vessel.
They were consequently taken, and brought to the city,
and marched, like convicts, under guard to the custom-
house. Some were liberated, and about thirty were
thrown into prison. A writ of habeas corpus ws
tained,they were, brought before.the parish judge, and on
motion of the district attorney, the proceedings against
them were stopped, and they were liberated on giving
nominal bail. Two of them, 1 am informed, died by sick-
ness brought on by thil detention. It was to guard
against similar inconveniences to those who were desirous
of entering the Mexican service, that I was induced to
publish the hand bill in question; and it litis had the de-
Bired effect It is us follows:

FTIKB TBABI AND S.UTOJIS R70IITS.

Many inquiries have been made of me by seamen urul
others, deswousof entering the Mexican navy, and re-
specting the laws which have a bearing on the subject,

and many, in pursuance of their wishes to join my com-
mand, having met with serious embarrassment in conse-
quence of a misunderstanding of those laws on their part,
as well as on the part of others; I have thought it my
diltj to explain to them, in a simple and concise man-
ner, what they are, and what they are not authorized
to do, in order that the difficulties they have encounter*
ed, may hereafter be avoided:

1st. A citizen of the United States, Cannot receive a
commission in the United States to serve a foreign power
to act against a power at peace with the United States.

a, April 12, 1 827. -Yesterday after-
noon, after having senl some of my boats into the Calabar
river, where I had reason to believe a slaver was on the
point of sailing, with a full cargo, a vessel was seen from
the royal yard, standing through between Pernando Po
and the main land. Aware that she could be nothing
but a slaver, 1 made sail in chase, and though then sun
set, I sliaped a course so as to cut her off in tin
At one in the morning we got Bight of her under a press
of sail, but to no effect; for old Nick himself will not es-

calm, when we were about four or five miles from her,
and I directed the boats, well manned and armed, to at-
tack her. Hon ever, no resistance was made, and at two
o'clock one of the boats returned to acquaint me of the
4-apture of the Creole, a Brazilian brig, with a cargo oi
undred and nine slaves.

COLONIAL TRADE.

To the editor of the Richmond Enquirer.

Liverpool, July 2, 1 8-27.
Cr.> ri.KMKy: This country has been for twelve months
laying the foundation of a commercial war with tie
ed" States, which can be terminated on just terms only by
a united and energetic resistance, and a prompt adoption
and a faithful enforcement of countervailing measures;
whatever neglect or oversight the pesrident of the United
States may have been guilt} of on the West India question,
and whether he has, or has not, been guilty of neglect, 1
have nof the means "here to determine; but be this as it
may, our country'? honor and her interest requires thai
We should rally round our government, and present an
united front to England, npon this subject. The contest
has been shrouded vi ith too thin a veil by Mr. Canning, in
his correspondence with Mr. Gallatin, to conceal from the
view of any unprejudiced man his real object. When
England, in 1815, opened her West India islands, on cer-
tain conditions, to the whole world, she- was sincere, nd
if we had accepted her conditions, we would have placed
her in rather an awkward dilemma, as, in 1826, she de-
terniibed to change her policy, but she would have found
means to evade the arrangement, as she did to get over
a stipulated and plighted engagement to negotiate upon
the subject. She made a positive engagement to settle
the matter by negotiation in IS2',-; and, in 1826,
positively declined to negotiate at all respecting it, and
that, too without giving any other reason than i-
tained in Mr. Canning's flippant and impertinent re-
mark, that **Af would not altoto himself to he drawn into
the discussion of a subji cl that bad already been exhaust-
ed." To which be subsequently added m the house of
commons, the empty and frothy boast, that he had had
After this, ht no man in America sup-
pose that England was, in 1826, disposed to arrange the
trade with us upon equitable terms: and that its non-ar-
rangement grew out of our non-acceptance of the
offered by their act of 1815. The truth is, in 1826, they
found that their reciprocity system of commerce did not
work as well as the; expected, and they determined to re
race then; steps, as far as they could with decency. To
Bisters were more promptly forced by the clamors
ofthe shipping interest clamors to be be sure unfounded,
hut still ii.it the less loud on that account. They ascribed
all the depreciation in the value of their shipping and their
profits to Mr. Iluskisson's reciprocity system, instead ot
ascribing it to overtrading in 182.5, 'by the building of a
superfluous number ot vessels, and the general derange-
ment Of trade in 1826, Bat to turn to the West India
question This government has jusl passed a bill through
parliament, which authorizes tin-' inland introduction from
the United States, into Canada,free of duty, ashes, staves
and lumber of every description, horses, fresh provisions,
kc See. and that "the articles so admitted into Canada
shall be deemed to ne Canadian produce, and shall be ad-
mitted into England, and into the West Indies, as such.
The operation of this bill will be, if we allow the inter-
course tocontinue between Canada and the United States,
to give to British shipping the entire carrying trade Ol
such American articles as thevmav he ublc to receive.

INDIAN AFFA1KS.
The Detroit Gazette contains an account of the pro-
ceedings of gov. Cass, in his negotiations v\ ith the In-
diana, which we find too long to insert entire. Governor
Cass, during his absence of two months from Detroit,
performed a tour of 3,200 miles, attended with many
embarrassing circumstances. A treaty was concluded
on the 15th inst. between the tinted States and the
Menominie, Chippewa, Winnebago, and New York In-
and a few ol the Ottawas; by the provisions of
which the objects proposed to be attained by the go-
ut, were i'uily accomplished. These embraced
lenient of die division line between the
Chippewas and Menomihies the cession by the Indians,
and determination ol the limits of the Green Ba J reser-
vation and a reference by the Menoininies and New
York Indians, of the difficulties existing between them,
live and different constructions
of the treaties concluded with each other. The opinion
of the government v. ill be conclusive on this subject, as
the patties have agreed to abide by its decision.

the arrival of gen. Atkinson at Prairie du Chien,
ta ith 500 troops, about the 31st July, he found col. duel-
ling already in occupation of the place, with four compa-
nies; the whole comprises a force of about 700 troops.
Detachments had been sent into the surrounding country,
but no traces of the W iunebagoes hail been discovered.
It was understood that they were collecting at some poini
Chuseoasm. Six had been seized and were .n con-
stat the Prairie. Gen. Atkinson would pr ibably
contin as soon us boats to transport the
troops could be prepared, major W lustier, with a force ot
100 men, consisting of troops, Canadian volunteers,
noniiuic warrioi s, intended to leave <,..
about the '21st, and ascend the Fox river to the portage,
at which point H was contemplated a junction would be
formed between his force and that from the Prairie.

Circumstances justif) the belief that the greater portion
of the nation are decidedly hostile, and that if indications
of their feelings have not been exhibited more openh,
since theirrepulse by the keel boat, it. has been owing to
the wholesome operation of fear, rather than of friendly
feeli

When gov. Cass, accompanied by his secretary, major
Forsyth, descended the Ouisconshi, at about half way
the river, discovered a village orMrinnebago
, located at such a distance from the shore as to
escape observation from any but stub as had been previ-
ously made acquainted with their situation. He stopped
for the purpose of having a conference with the chiefs,
and in order to assure them, went alone. As he ascend-
ed the small eminence upon which the lodges stood, a
boy 17 or 18 years of age, took deliberate aim at him and
was about to fire, when an Indian struck up his gun, ex-
claiming, "what are you about? do/^uou ivunt to ruin us
V " , The Indians began precipitaWFy to pull down

onto <rv and the children to
3 some of them c;;rr\ ing a

sing behind the governor to escape no-
tice, then* arms and ammunition In descending the hill,
g with the chiefs, a gun was repeatedly
snapped at aim, when, owing to some unexplained cause,
perhaps to a second interference, or perhaps

>us feeling, arising from wantofprei
the attempt vas abandoned.
The intellig. ..,, from Chicago is of a character to war-

piciona of the good faith of the Sioux, th<
v. atomies, ami perhaps some of the Chippewas. In con-
sequence ot the representations of a friendlj Potl
nue at Chicago, called Chambler, it was deemed prudent
to procure a force from Vermillion river, for the
tj ofthe inhabitants; and a detachment of 50 horsemen,
accordingly moved to that place under the command of
captain Morgan. The Pottawatamie, accompanied by
two or three half breeds, was despatched to the. Winne-
bago chief, Big-foot's village, about 70 miles from Chi-
cago, to obtain such information relative to their contem-
plated movements ami the nature of their intent
might be practicable. The chief was absent and lh
not only refused to disclose the place oWiis retreat, but
endeavored to prevail on Chambler to return, assuring
him that the \\ iunebagoes were dispersed through the
country, ami were oeuiiiiv peaceable. As they declin-
ed aiding him, be proceeded alone, and at about 25 miles
from the village, he discovered their place of rendez-
vous. The Indians were much alarmed, believing him to
be a spy, and he was immediately surrounded by ;5 or
400 warriors, completely armed. He had a conference
that night with the chief, in which he assigned as the
reason for his intrusion, that be had heard that the Siouv
and Winnebagoes had made overtures to the Pottawata-
mies, Ottawas, and Chippewas, requesting them to join
in hostilities to be commenced against the whites that
Me-ta-wa, a Pottawatamie chief, had rejected the war
pipe ofthe Sioux, and the war club of the Winnehagocs.
Chambler asked if all this was true.

He was answered, that the war pipe and war club were
were sent by the Winnebago nation to call to their aid,
their red brothers that the Winnebagoes of the Missis-
sippi had commenced hostilities that they were gather-
ing to devise measures to act in conceit, and that it was
with the greatest difficulty that they restrained their
young men from breaking out into open violence. They
added to this, that the chief held prisoner by Thos. For-
syth, Indian agent at Rocky island, would be demanded,
as well of the commissioners at the treaty ground, as ot
the agent, and that a refusal to deliver him up would be
interpreted by them into a declaration of hostilities on
the part of the Americans. A report prevailed among

so, that the troops at Green Bay were divided,
and that if hostilities should commence, the Winnebagoes
at that place would out number the wh ites. They were

ui-aged bj the belief that the Red river English
had incited the Sioux and Chippewas to a war with each
other.

1 angoage very different from this was held at the treaty
ground, when the governor told the Winnebagoes that
we should cut a road through the portage of theOuiscon-
sin, not with BX6S, bat with guns. They hung their
Inads lower than they have ever been held before dis-
claimed any thing like hostile intentions acknowledged
the justice of tin retribution which would be visited upon
such of their nation as had taken part in the outrages, but.
of which thev protested they were entirely guiltless, and
implored the protection of their great Father from its ef-
fects.

It is the decided conviction of every man at all acquaint-
ed with the circumstances, and one which appears per-
fectly well founded, that the tour of gov. Cass, of which
the prompt military movements from St. Louis were
among the consequences, was the immediate means of
(becking the Indians in their contemplated movements;
and that without this, the rising of the disaffected would
probably have been general.

How long a people, so notoriously treacherous as the
Winnebagoes, may choose to remember a promise volun-
tarily ami solemnly made it is impossible to say. It is
certain that they parted from the commissioners vn ith eve-
ry demonstration ofa wish to preserve the peaceable and

tranquility, while foreign ihteference can only tend to a
prolongation of the rebellion. The Gnu and u
attention of the Mil to attehd to its principal

interests which spring from its sacred law, merits their
approbation and res ,u inteferenee

must be liable to blame and animadversion. Now, it is
clear and evident that l>\ i this principal, eve-

ry thing might have beeu terminated long since, but for
the ill-founded pn Inch have been advanced

concerning ii religion, and the fatal in-

fluence which mis state of tiiinga baa, perhaps, exercis-
ed tbroughoai the whole of Europe, ami the injur) to
which maritime coi have been exposed. At

the tame time the hopes of the malevolent have been
ally encouraged bj the improper conduct of giv-
ing them assistance of every kind, which, at any time,
ought to have been reproved, eoidormablj to the law of
nations. It is besides to be observed, that the relations
and treaties subsisting between the sublime porte and the

in friendship with it, have been entered into with
the monarch aud ministers ot' these powers only; and

riug the obligation of every independent power

11 its subjects itself, the sublime porte lias not
failed to address to some friendly courts complaints re-
specting the succours afforded to the insurgents: The
oidy answer made to tln-.se representations lias been, to
{live to machinations tending to subvert laws and treaties,
the signification of liberty; and to interpret proceedings
contrary to existing engagements by the expression of
turutrautifi alleging the insufficiency of menus for re-
straining the people.

Setting aside the want of reciprocal security, which
must finally result from such a state of things, to the
subjects of the respective powers, the sublime porte can-
not allow such transactions to pass silently. According-
ly, the porte lias never omitted to reply to die different
pretensions advanced, by appealing to the justice and the
equity of -.the powers who are its friends, bj often reite-
rating complaints respecting the assistance afforded to
the insurgents, and by giving the necessary answers in
the course of communications with its friends. In fine,

ion has at last beeu proposed. The tact, how-
ever, is, that an answer restricted to one single object
can neither be changed by the process of time, nor by
the innovation sf expressions. The reply which the
subjiine porte gave at the beginning will always be the
same; namely, that which it has reiterated in the face ot
the whole world, and which is in the last result its senti-
ment on the position of affairs.

Those who are informed of the circumstances and the
details of ev. i ignorant, that at the commence-

ment of the insurrection some ministers of friendly courts,
resident at the sublime porte, offered effective assistance
in punishing the rebels. As, however, this offer related
to an affair which came exclusive!) within the resort of
the .sublime porte, in pursuance of important considera-
tions, both with regard to the present and the future, the
porte confined itself in replying, that, though such an offer
had for its ohj aid to the Ottoman government,

it would never permit foreign inteferenee. What is
more, when the ambassador of a friendly power, at. the
period of his jour;,- $of Verona,

ed into explanations in with the Ottoman

minister on the proposed mediation, the sublime porte
isl unequivocal manner, that such a

i.ni could not be listened to; reiterating every
time that the subject irance that po-

litical, national, and religious considerations, rendered
such refusal indispensable.

In yielding to this reasoning, and in admitting more
than once that right was on the side of die porte, the be-
fore mentioned ambassador, on Ins return from Verona
to Constantinople, again clearly and officially declared in
several conferences, by order of his court, and in the
name of the other powers, that the Creek question was
recognised as belonging to the internal affairs ot the bud-
lime porte; that as such it ought to be brought
initiation exclusively by the porte itself; that no other
power Wasto interfere rt the sequel; and that if ever any
one were to interfere, all the others would act accord-
ing to the principles of the law of na

The agents of one of die great powers which has re-
cently consolidated its r<

I understanding with the sublime; porte, also officially and

, explicitly declared, in their conferences with the Ottoman

ts, -that there should be no inteferenoe on this sub*

That declaration having served as the basis for the

! result of those conferences, there cannot now be anv
question respecting this affair, which the sublime porte is
entitled to consider as completely and radically adjusted.
ilhel. ss. the porte still c-nsiders itself authorised
here to add the follow mg observations in support of its
antecedent assertions.-

The measures Inch the sublime porte has adopted
from the commencement, and which it still pursues
against the Greek insurgents, ought not to make the war
be considered a war ot religion. Those measures do not
extend to all the people in general; for they have for
their sole object to repress the revolt, and' to punish
those subjects of the porte who, acting as true ch
brigands, have committed atrocities equally serious and
reprehensible. The sublime porte has never refused
pardon to those who submit. The gates of clemency
and mercy have always been open. This the sublime
porte has proved by facts, and still proves it, by granting
protection to those who return to their duty.

The real cause of the continuance of this revolt is to
be found in the different propositions made to the sub-
lime porte. The injury arising from the war, too, has
only been felt by the porte; for it is known to all the
world that European navigation has never been interrupt-
ed by this stale ot things, which, far from prejudicing
European merchants, has afforded them considerable ad-
vantages.

Moreover, the troubles and the revolt exists only in
one single country of the Ottoman empire, and among
the partisans of malevolence; for. thanks be to God, the
other provinces of tbi:; vast empire have no way suffered,
and with all their inhabitants enjoy the most perfect re-
pose. It is not easy, therefore, to understand how ihes-
troubles are to be communicated to other European coun-
tries. Suppose, however, that this were the case, as
each power is paramount within itself, it ought to know-
such of its subjects on its own territory as manifest sedi-
tious dispositions, and it ought to punish them according
to its own laws, and in pursuance of the duties inherent
in its own sovereignty. It may he superfluous to add,
that the sublime porte will never interfere in such trans-
actions.

Considering the points above set forth with reference
to justice and equity, every one must be easily convinc-
ed that there remains no ground tor discussion upon
these affairs. However, though it is fit that all ulterior In-
terference should cease, an offer of a mediation has beeu
in the last result made.

Now, in political language, it is understood by this ex-
pression, that, if there arise differences on hostilities be-
tween two independent powers, a reconciliation may be
brought about by the interference ofa third friendly pow-
er: It is the same with respect to armistices and treaties
of peace, which cannot he concluded but between recog-
nized powers. Hut the sublime porte being engaged m
punishing in its own territory, and in conformity with
! law, such of its turbulent subjects as have revolt-
ed, bow can this case ever be made applicable to its situa-
tion' and must not the Ottoman government attribute to
those who advance such propositions, views tending to
give consequence to a troop of brigands? A Ore
rernment is spoken of which is to be recognized m case
the sublime porte does not consent to some arrange-
ment: and it has be -n proposed to conclude a treaty with
t the sublime porte great reason to
be struck with astonishment at hearing such language
from friendly powers, for history presents no example of
a conduct in all respects so opposed to the principles and
duties of governments?

The, sublime porte, therefore, can never listen h
propositions, to propositions which it will neither hear
nor understand, so long as the country inhabited by the
Greeks forms part of the Ottoman dominions, and tn< ') tu '
tributary subjects of the porte, which never v. ill n .
its rights. If with the aid of the Almighty the sublime
porte resume full po that country, It will then

always act as well for the present as for the future in con-
formity with ordinances v. ;

"Dear siu I see as you do and with the deepest af-
fliction, the rapid strides with which the federal branch
lUT government, is advancing towards the usurpation
ill the rights reserved to the states, and the consolida-
in itself, of all powers, foreign and domestic, and that
too by constructions, which if legitimate, leave no limits
to their power. Take together the decisions of the fede-
ral court, the doctrines of the president, and the miscon-
rtions of the constitutional compact acted ot: by the
slature of the federal branch; and it is but too evident
that the three ruling branches of that department, are in
combination to strip their colleagues, the state authorities,
of the powers reserved by them, and to exercise tin .-
selves all functions foreign and domestic. Under the
power to regulate commerce, they assume indefinitely,
that also over agriculture and manufactures; and call it re-
gulation too, to take the earnings of one of these branches
of industry, and that too the most depressed, and put them
into the pockets of the other, the most flourishing of all.

You ask my opinion of the propriety of giving publicity
to what is stated in your letter, as having past between
Mr. John Q. Adams and yourself. Of this, no one can
judg but yourself. It is one of these questions which be-
long to the forum of feeling. This alone, can decide on
the degree of confidence implied in the disclosure. Whe-
ther, under no circumstances, it was to be communicable
to others. It does not seem to be of that character, or at
all to meet that aspect. They are historical facts, which
belong to the present, as well as future time. 1 doubt
whether a single fact, known to the world, will carry as
clear a conviction to it, of the correctness of our know-

of the feelings or principles ot '7G, now look to a single
and splendid government of an aristocracy, founded on
banking institutions and monied incorporations, under the
guise and cloak of their favored branches of manufact

that whoever undertakes to discuss that subject with a
view to reach piv.ctical and useful truth, must take into
consideration many other powerful circumstances for
example, the corporation or monopoly laws, the laws
which arbitrarily regulate the price of labor contrary to
the will of the laborer, the laws that relate to appren-
p, and the exclusion of workmen who either hare
not served seven years, or who having served an appren-
ticeship in one place, are not tolerated to work, if not
privileged; in another; e. g. a printer, Mho served an ap-
prenticeship in Bristol, may be prevented from working,
r able he may be, in any part of the city of Lon-
don, at the discretion of one who has served his time in
London. Again, the mighty influence of paper on the
wages of workmen on the prices of goods of the first
necessity; which, by reducing the productive or purchas-
ing power of gold and silver, substituting paper for those
universally desirable and exchangeable agents, augments
the price of necessaries on the laborers, who have neither
gold nor silver, while the effect upon the opulent or
rich, is not felt, and they may convert their paper into
gold at will. The banking system must be investigated
in its operation, therefore, on the price or compensation

ELKcrioxs. It is stated that the election of Mr. Yan-
cy over Mr. Johnson in Kentucky, by a majority of U'J
votes, will be contested; and asserted that a list -
250 voters from Tennessee, who had voted for Mr. Y.
has been obtained.

The Lexington Reporter, of the 1st of September, j
gives a list of the members of the legislature of I

ting them according to their preferences on

are, in the senate, in favor of the administration, 21; for

general Jackson 17. In the house, for the administration,

The Frankfort "Commentator" has a statement of the
votes given at the 1; >nal election, and makes

it appear that then ny oi 8,08? "in favor of

the administration. " Other papers calculate it different-
ly. But as in districts the fractions are lost, it oftentimes
happens that the voice of a state may not be known by
such election.-. There i^ a remarkable case of this in
tlie election oi electors in Man land in 1824.

Mr. Lincoln has been re-elected governor of Maine
without opposition. In the choice of a representative in
congress, for York district, Rufus Melntj
2,lo<J \otes and John Holmes, late of the senate, 1,814.
The first was elected, there being only the two candi-
dates.

At the recent election in Mississippi, Gerard C. Bran-
don has been elected governor, and Abram M. Scott
lieutenant governor.

Gabriel P. Moore has been re-elected to congress from
rthern district of Alabama without opposition.

David E. Evans, a representative elect to ci
from the 29th district of the state of N. York, ha
municated his resignation to the governor.

Yellow fkveh. The yellow fever has prevailed to
a limited extent in Charleston, S. C. for some time past;
the deaths not averaging more. than one each day. The
deaths by that disease for the week ending on the 9th
ult. amounted to nine.

Private letters and verbal accounts from New Orleans
state that an epidemic has broke out in that city their
papers, however, are silent on the subject. The only
notice the papers of the 21st of August take, is the fol-
lowing.

"About forty persons have been buried in this city,
within the last seven days; a mortality which is nearly
double the general average among the population. "

A British tbaveixeb. A person who terms him-
self the lion. Frederick de Roos, bearing a commission as
lieutenant in his Britannic majesty's navy, lately obtained
a month's leave of absence from his ship lying at Halifax,
for the purpose of visiting the United States, in which he
remained sixteen days, during which period he visited
Boston, New York, Albany, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The result of the hon. gentleman's travels is an octavo
volume of one hundred and ninety one pages, dedicated, hy
permission, to his royal highness, William Henry duke
of Clarence, lord high admiral of England &c kc, in
which is contained some of the most palpable lies that

.rgnlphed down by the English nation Weal
first supposed it was written with a view of rivalling the
celebrated work termed "John Bull in America," but on
a nearer examination, and from the bitterness and gall
with which it teems, we must class it with the produc-
tions of the Fearon's Sec. whose vision blinded by bigotry
and prejudice, prompts them to view a great and pow-
erful nation as a band of derai- savage a w]

enemies are vet fitted to render justice to him and speak
f events as they deserve. The last words of that great
man, the wonder of the age, were "1 leave the oppro-
brium of my death to the reigning house of England."

And whatever may have been his faults or his crimes,
inner in which be himself was treated will remain
a stigma as lasting on his enemies, as any act of his own
will attach odium to himself; while it will endure as con-
clusive evidence of the homage of conspiried kings to the
magnitude of his talents, and of |the devotion which his
country entertained for him, in shewing that Napoleon,
alone, in himself and of himself, was more powerful than
Louis, n ith a French army of 500,000 men, and as many
foreign bayonets to support his "legitimacy."

British West toroiA colonies. The following ar-
ticle shews that the Canadians have been sadly disap-
pointed as to obtaining a monopoly of the West India
trade; and it will not be pleasant to some of our own
j>r ople v ho so eloquently bewail the loss of it. The pre-
sent British arrangement, as we have always said, very
partially, if at all alFeets the amount of our exports, that
would rather increase than diminish our tonnage em-
ployed, and that the extra cost of the articles would fall
upon the British consumers.

Quebec, August 30. The Southampton, from Grena-
da, has confirmed the accounts via the United States,
&at the crops in West India islands wira generally
Hcient, and that the produce of the islands would
be scarce and high. About 500 puncheons of rum have,
in consequence, changed hands in this market, and it is
quoted at ;3d per gallon advance. These mark' I
overstocked with American produce, introduced from the
neutral islands, and our exports will now in consequence
be Jess than intended. A number ol the vessels which
have sailed for the West Tndies from this province are
owned in it, and the owners, who are generally little able
to bear any losses, will with the shippers also suffer. So
far as Canada is concerned, it is indeed seldom that the
best intentions of the British legislature have been realiz-
ed. We had hoped that the British West Indies, under
the existing difficulties with the United States, would
have been supplied by the North American colonies.

A Nottingham, (Eng.) paper, speaks of it as worthy
of remark, that during tiie late harvest, the weather was
so fine that it was no uncommon thing for grass to be

Grometchie, (corvette), captain Chaglokoff.

The Russian squadron, since then- arrival, have been
refitting. Yesterday noon, prince Lieveto, who arrived
from London, at the George Inn, on the previous even-
ing, went on board the Russian admiral's ship. His ex-
cellency was saluted by the flag ship, (Victory), and
garrison when leaving the shore. He continued on
board about an hour, and then returned to the shore,
under a salute from the garrison. The squadron came
here with the expectation of proceeding immediately for
the Mediterranean, but, yesterday, orders were given
for four sail of the line and four frigates only, to prepare
lor this service, and for the others to return "to Cronstadt.
The ships going are, the Azoff, llargood, Ezekiel, and
Alexander New sky, of the line; Helena, Prevornie, Kru-
zier, and Constantino frigates. These ships will pro-
ceed when the wind changes.

A long February. From the New York American.
In the American of yesterday is an account of the British
line of battle ship Warspite, crossing the 180th degree of
longitude, which made the week to consist of eight, days.
This is by no means an unusual occurrence; but the fol-
lowing, which may be called a geographical or chronolo-
gical paradox, can occur but very seldom, and may he
interesting to some of our readers. In the month of
February 1824, in the ship Jupiter under my command,
1 crossed the same meridian, or where "the extremes of
mat a/id west do meet," which made that month, (Fe-
bruary), to consist of 30 days including six Sundays; each
day consisted of l 24 hours, as is usual v ith vessels at sea.

Indian BEATS BUST, At Bandah, in llundelcund,
one of the northern provinces of Hindustan, there, arc
numerous rocky hills, which during the hot Winds, be-
come so thoroughly heated as to retain their warmth
from sunset to sunrise. The natives, at that sultry sea-
son, invariably wear large folds of cloth around their
heads and laces, just leaving themselves sufficiently ex-
posed to be able to see and breathe. This precaution is
taken in consequence of the terrific blasts which occa-
sionally rush in narrow streams from between the hills.
Persons crossed by these scorching Minds drop sudden-
ly to the earth as if shot by a musket ball. When medi-
cal assistance, or a supply of cold water, is instaneously
procured, a recovery may generally be expected, but if
no immediate remedy be applied, an almost certain death
is the result.

bagoes for the recent murders and outrages com-

until the murderers shall be given up for trial and pun-
ishment, and the territory between Prairie du Chieu and

course which lias thus far been pursued by the govern-
ment If the Winnebagoes should not be punished for
the outrages they have committed) they would attribute
our forbearance to cowardice, and fresh and aggravated
outrages would inevitably follow. General Gaines, we

not supposed that peace will be made with them, until

SCPlt is probably the "spirit of trade" that gave birth
to these things. To involve the poor Indians in war and
finish the desolation which the late war caused, is a
small matter with the British dealers in furs, compared
with the least privation of the business which they have
hitherto carried onwhh these deluded people. V.

11 v. ; i. By our last advices from Hayti, the following
tariff by which the advalorem duties are increas-
ed from 12 to 16 per cent, and specific duties are augment-
ed to 33 1-3 per cent, and die discrimination between
rich and other foreign nations is removed, was

ner, "by beat of drum, to take effect in two months after
such promulgation.

The chamber of representatives, upon the proposition
of the president of Hayti, and on the hearing of the re-
port of die sections of "fiance and legislation united, has
enacted the following law:

Chapter 1 . Importation.

Art. l. The duties of importation into the territory of
the republic, upon the merchandize or productions of
oil p, r countries, coming in national or foreign vessels, shall
be established in future in conformity to the tariff of du-

Art. "I. The duties of importation shall he fixed at.
sixteen per cent, upon the amount ol the valuatit
signed in the tariff mentioned in the preceding article, on
the merchandize or productions of all countries, without
distinction, introduced by fi '-; with the excep-

tion, however, ot the nation or nations, with whom by
treaties or conventions, it shall be otherwise stipulated.

ans, shall pay a duty of eight percent, only, taken upon

named James McKell. It hat long been a desideratum
iv boat navigation, to avoid the lilt of water as the
paddles of the wheels emerge from it, which not only
causes a great loss of power, but produces the shock and
tremulous motion, so disagreable to the passengers. It
appears to us that the ingenious inventor of the above
mentioned wheel, has completely succeeded in his ob-
ject, bv ao arranging the flappers or paddles, as to cause
them always to retain their vertiele position, as well in
entering as coming out of the water. The effect is pro-
duced by tii- connexion ot two sets of bars, forming one
which revolve around different centres, and are
ted by a moving axle, so fixed as to retain its angle
with the horizon. The paddles or pieces which take
hold on the water. to the ends of the bars at

The vessel will be built of the most durjjde materi-
als, and will embrace many of the improvements, sug-

ii in their late voyages to tl
Ue north.
The artificer ia Mr icham of this city, - 1

reputation as a naval architect, stands deservedly among
the first in tl. .' in any other country.

'Via- expedition will not sail until early in the coming
season. This delay has been unavoidable; occasioned in
; of the undersigned; but.
more particularly by die extensive labors neeesss

be pel I up such an enterprise.

The expenses of the vov age, heavy as they must be,
are now brought within narrow limits. We have it in
how to the satisfaction of
any individual, that including the patronage of tin
department, thf: whole amount necessary to furnish
the expedition, in instruments, armament, provisions,
clothing, and pay for a well chosen crew of seamen, and
able ami experienced officers, with every necessary com-
fort and convenience, is not now a matter of contingency,
but embracing as it does, a large proportion of the whole
expense, is at this time in readiness.

That the principle upon which the secretary of the
.'! aid in the promotion of this voyage may not be
misunderstood, are give as illustrative the subjoined
(1 during the last session, when the'
die house of representatives ot the
United States: "Gentlemen, I beg leave, succinctly to
state the case now before you as a select committee in
relation to a voyage of disco\ery. The memorial is
most respectably sustained by a resolution of the house
of delegates of Maryland, and by the governor and
council, by the governor of Pennsylvania, and by near
one hundred members of the state legislature. By the
governor and other citizens of Ohio. You will also find
memorials from the states of New York, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Virginia and Maryland, Ohio, &c. of the
most respectable character. Presuming that the memo-
rial, from the number and respectability of those who
signed it, is deserving of the most courteous considera-
tion, I proceed, iu the second place, to remark, that the
objects of the memorialists w ill be promoted by a simple
reference of the whole sul ject to the secretary of the
navy, with a view, that, if an expedition be undertaken,
in part, by individual means, it may receive the protec-
tion ami aid of the department, so far as is consistent
with the general interest of the service, without increas-
ing the expense of it. The memorialists wish a refer-
ence for the following rea

1st. The expeditions hitherto fitted out have not all re-
turned because it was impracticable to proceed further,
^d. Those who have gone farthest have, in more than
one instance, put back with an open sea before them.

3d. The experience acquired by preceding attempts
would enable an expedition to go to sea at this time, pre-
pared to avoid many of die obstacles heretofore encoun-

inlorers have yet gone north or south,
hum. m inhabitants, land, and marine animals, have been
found.

5tb. Our officers are brave and persevering, and our
seamen among the most hardy and adventurous on earth.

Cth. The history of maritime expeditions abundantly

prove tii 1 adventure, iu high latitudes, depend

rather upon small, strong, and comfortable barks, with

:t well chosen and determined crew, than upon large ves-

ith splendid and costly outfits!

7t!i. All these circumstances combined, justify us in
believing, that an expedition, undertaken at this time-
strictly with a view to the improvement of scien<

resting facts m natural history, open new chan-
nels for commercial enterprise in animal furs and oil.
could scarcely fail in adding something to the stock of
general knowledge, and to the honor and glory of the
United States.

Sth. It is confidently believed that, with the protection

of the department, hundreds of the most distinguished

citizens of our country will encourage the enterprise;

ined to the means already tangible, will give

strength and character to the expedition.

of our citizens. To refer it, is, perhaps,
the most unexceptionable method by which such adveti

your memorialists have observed with great and

encroachment os who claim as a right from

your honorable body, an universal system of protect-
ing duties in favor of all articles that any speculator

price of the article upon
the purchaser who needs it, to the manifest detriment of
the whole (lass of purchasers and consumers, who con-
stitute in fact, the PUBLIC.

Your memorialists, deeply suffering under this system
of protecting duties, so far as it hath already proceeded,
. peering any benefit to themselves
m return, desire to express their deliberate convictions
that coirsnxss possess no power under the constitution,
to enact any such system of peculiar protection, or to fa-
vor in any manner one class ot citizens at the expense of
rt: that such a system lias been long felt in this
I equally unjust in its principle and in its opera-
tion! that ri arrays the 1 pursuits and the interest of one
nt" the union against those of another: conferring
advantages and privileges arbitrarily, unequally and in no
degree sanctioned by the constitution or by justice; and
that it is liable to great abuse as apolitical engine, by

bribing, one section of the union with the plusoxb of

another.

Your memorialists, are willing to pass towards the ne-
cessary revenue of the country, whatever sums congress
may think it right to call forj but they utterly den] thai
congress possesses any constitutional authority to impose
taxes for any other purpose. They consider the laws, of
this kind already passed as encroachments on the com-
mon compact between the states of this confederacy.

Such laws have been submitted to from feelings oj

rosity, and from motives of peace and good neighbor-
hood, although their injustice has been most manifest,
and their oppression severely felt Your memorialists
therefore are fully of opinion that it is advisable to re-
trace the steps that have been taken; and to undo the mis-
chief that has been done, rather than to add any further
strength to a system every way so objectionable and so
revolting.

inequality and injustice of this state of things is becom-

imposes on us, too heavy to be borne in silence any longer.
Deeply impressed with these considerations, your me-

under the influence of, and with a view to a tariff of pro-

the real wants of a necessary REVX3T/I may require: and
that the principle and practice* of protecting duties, by
which the industry of one class of citizens is fostered and
rewarded at the expense of the rest, be forever abandon-

MR. JEFFERSON'S LETTER TO MR. GILES,

We published this letter in our last paper, with tin-
introductory matter from "the pen of t lie governor of
Virginia^ on which letter the editor of the "Richmond
Whig" has made some exceedingly severe comments.
In a subsequent paper, the"YVhig" says

"We are sorry that gov. Giles did not feel at liberty
to give the whole of Mr. Jefferson's letter. If we are
to have the opinions of that venerable man tor our guide,
why not give us all. We should have been gratified to
see his remarks upon gov. Troup's conduct, for we are
satisfied that the Georgia hero is the individual to whom
gov. (iiles alludes. \\ hat say our wise ones, to the
proposition to vest, congress with the power of internal
improvement? 'I'hey have hitherto argued as much
against the expediency as the constitutionality of its e\-
errise. "

The "Natbnal Intelligencer" of Monday last, notic-
ing the comments of the "Whig," says

"We might rest satisfied With having given to our

The organs of the ministry have proclaimed in the Mo-

censure suppresses notorious facts such, for example,
as the dismission ot a learned man appointed censor with-

Paris, 5th Julv, l

w-ur.u.

The undersigned having read the statement presented
by the pr the Constitutionnel, is of

opinion as follows:

The regime of censure is a regime of exception; it
paralyzes the liberty of tin press in the most vital part,
and in the par: tial to the maintainance and de-

velopement. of repri ovemment, founded by

the chart However.it is necessary to submit to tb
sure. The law which establishes It is a hard law. Ne-
vertheless, it is a law. Jhira lex, ed lex.

Hut, at the same time, it ought tube recollected that
the censorial legislation, which by itself even is contrary
to common laws, ought to be governed in its application
to a restrictive rule, which has always applied to the in-
terpretation of measures of rigour odda reetxigenda.
This granted, it becomes easy to appreciate the preten-
sons who . souse the censure, and to show

that thc\ are unjust and exorbitant.

The unsure is ;i means of making one silent, and not
of making one speak. The censors are appointed to of-
fice, and not to write, to retrench, and not to add. The
censors must say to the journalists what Henry IV. said
of advocates: "1 can easily make an advocate silent,
hut cannot, make him speak. "

A journal is sent to the office of the censure: Erase
erase, gentlemen the news is true; reflection just it
matters not, you have the power to erase. Prevent tin-
relation of a fact (that, for example, where two learned
men, two professors of history, frightened by their muse,
have refused to become censors), prevent that they
should argue on this fact or others keep truth silent, if
you fear it; but do not demand that the journalists should
become the forced accomplices of the deception. If you
wound the people, do not prevent them from showing
the scars.

What will you do, however, if you erase a phrase, a
line, or even an adverb? You change the circumstan-
ces of the fact, you mutilate the argument, you make it
appear so that the editor would pass for a liar or a fool.
Is not tnis, then, to impose on the reader? Indeed, who
would not be dec (ived when we see the .Monitenr use all
the latitude which is left it, to appeal, (says the editor),
to a discussion free and moderate among his brother edi-
tors, when he Well knows that their hands are closely
tied, that, (it the "statement" is to be believed), "opi-
nions the most free and loyal are rejected, principles the
most invariable and the most pure, are cancelled, and
we are not permittee! to cite even history litn-rally."

The remedy is by the side ot the evil, if the editor
leaves blanks, or fills up by points that which has been
retrenched by the c< nsure. tor then, on the one hand,
ire will be obeyed, since they will not say thai
which they would not permit to he said; an<!, on the
other; the reader will not be exposed to impute to the
journal a suppression or alteration which does not prove
a fact. If news is not related with all the eircum stances,
it will soon be seen that il is because the censure has sup-
omethmg. If the logic is weak, it will be seen

thai it .is beea.' h would have given it force, is

suppressed; and estimable writers, sincere friends of their
country, will not be exposed to the accusation of conni-
ranoe or treason,

le, sa\ s the law, can he constrained to do a thing
lined, nemo potest eogi ad factum. The censure
then acts again si law and reason, when, after having creat-
ed blanks in a journal, it exacts that they should be filled
nearly as in combats, where the words "close the rtmh* n
are beard at each vacuity caused by the bullet.

Honor has made it a duty, in the army, thus to be re-
placed under the fire of the enemy? but in case of the
CetUUre, honor commands the contrary. It prohibits the
editor from deceiving his readers by "lulling them into a
false security, and by offering as safe and sound, that

The day was exceedingly fine, and nothing occurred to
mar its pleasures. From the great number constantly
descending and ascending the ladders, a. id thronging the
precipices, accidents were apprehended, but we believe
that none occurred. Every one seemed anxious to assist

Upon the whole. the spectators were pleasantly disap-
pointed. Weal! expected to see the vessel go to pieces
in the rapids, leaving only the fragments go promiscuous-
ly over the falls. The arrangements were skilfully made
ramd gallantly executed. She took the desired channel,
and the spectacle, from the moment she hov< in sight un-

full of interest and novelty. Imagination easily i
a moral sensibility to the scene. The power of the Al-
mighty Kras most imposingly displayed over the work-
manship of mere human hands. Tins ship, which, for
years, had withstood the winds and the waves, was now
abandoned to the mad fury of its native element. From
this descent information relative to the depth, power and
channel of the rapids was obtained. Had the Michigan
sound, sea-worthy vessel, she would have readied

either side of the river, Goat island and Table Rock, were
literally alive with spectators. Every road and avenue
leading to the falls during the day, was thronged with
vehicles of every possible description, from the John
Hull coach and six, with its thirty passengers, down to
the Canadian poney,rodeby two Indians, either of whom
looked better able to carry, than to be carried by the
beast.

Amusements, hi all their rounds, were to be

The New York -i'l.-i -. We regret to state thai

the editor of this paper has been compelled to suspend
its publication for a short period, in consequence ot the
suddeu withdrawal of upwards of three hundred sub-
scribers. This falling off in the subscription list is attri-
buted to the establishment of the "Journal of Commerce."
st sincerely deplore this event, for independent of
our respect for Mr. Silliman's amiable character, his
paper was conducted with a degree of talent and indus-
try not surpassed by any other in New York. But we
hope the period is not far distant ere he will again resume
his labors among the corps editorial, of which he is a re-
spectable member.

>utt of MAXUFACTi'itr.us. The editor of the
"National Gazette," who has always beeu a severe op-

Jionent of the system which we have supported, in a
ate number of his paper said "Whatever may be
thought of the high tariff theory, no American observer
can visit the noble factories, such as those of Waltham
and Lowell, in the neighborhood of Boston, without
being gratified by their existence in our country. Not
many weeks ago, we surveyed the establishment at Wal-
tham with a pleasure which we cannot adequately ex-
press, derived from the excellence of the machinery,
the healthy, comfortable and respectable appearance ot
the numerous operatives, the convenience of the struc-
tures, and the beauty of the prospect on every side from
their windows. It is* a combination of objects, eminently
fitted to inspire ideas of the greatest intelligen
productiveness in mechanical processes, and of the most
salutary and least oppressive industry."

[Let ignorant prejudice say what it may the fact
i3 manifest, that persons employed in the cotton and
woollen factories far surpass, in virtue and intelligence,
others who are compelled like themselves to work lor a
livelihood. It is indispensably necessary that they should
be industrious and discreet, if desirous of retaining their
places; and they are required to attend the schools es-
tablished at every well regulated factor)'.]

Ahkiucan svHTr.-.r. From the Virginia Gazette.
Facts speak for themselves, and contradict the predic-
tion* of those opposed to the protection of our national
industry. In every instance where the government has
by the high duty enabled the American to get. to work
before he was ruined by British capitalists, the article
protected has fell in price to the consumer. Plain cot-
ton cloth sold (of an inferior quality j at 80 cents; better
can now be had at 9 cents the yard; and in place of send-
ing money to India to purchase humhums our outward
bound vessels take large quantities of cotton cloth to
that quarter. Spun cotton, before the high protecting
duty was imposed, sold at the northern factories at from
70 to 85 cents, by the quantity the same uualit;.

can now be had in any quantity, at 22 cents, whilst the
i l.rice current quotes the lowest prices at more

per lb. and in a few years we anticipate

that shipments ot cotton yarn, or cloth, will be made to

Britain in place of die raw material. When the

duty on s laid, the price was 18 cents the lb.

One striking advantage is mentioned by every person
who has visited any Ot the northern manufacturing vil-
lages. The p i , without exception, well pro*
vided i'ov their wages keep them from want, and the
knowledge of their ability to maintain themselves, has
removed that debasement that exists in the lower rank
of this and other states. The rising generation are by
this means prepared to act an honorable part in after
life, and feel some of that pride which should !r

It is certainly sound policy to encourage the niakin-
iry in the event of a foreign
war. No person conversant with the evils encountered
in the last war, can be so traitorous to their couu
to wish to have them again encountered.

So far the Gazette we add that

A South Carolina memorial to congress, adopted on
the 3rd inst. commences thus "We the citizens of Ab-
beville District, respectfully approach your honorable
body as memorialists, to remonstrate against the passage
of the -woollen's bill, or any other bill tor imposing pro-
tecting duties, and to pray the repeal of all laws nmv
in force of this character, and an aiiaxdoxmext of the
principle."

The Newbury memorial says

"We are treated as colonies. Our honest earnings are
taken from us, and given to others. What is taken from
us, never returns to us. We have never received, and
never expect to receive, any benefit from such legislation.
The "bloated promises" of our oppressors, we believe,
ev. r will be, as they ever have been, followed by "lank
performances." We place no confidence in them. We
have no faith in that wisdom which has set out to render
us independent by reducing us to beggary.

"We protest against the power of the general go-
vernment to protect domestic manufactures: And we
request that all laws heretofore passed for that purpose,
be repealed, and that the principle be forever alia
If necessary, we are willing to contribute "millions for
revenue not a cent for protecting duties."

Now we should be exceedingly obliged if the gentle-
man who prepared this memorial and those who as-
sented to it, would tell on what article it is that they pay
"a cent for protecting duties." The words are easily
said but let us sec the figures. We assert that South
Carolina is supplied with goods cheaper because ot the
protection; and that but for the abused tariff, some ten*
of thousands of bales of East India cotton would be
sold to 7/s in British manufactured goods, to an exclu-
sion of the use of so much of our own; and we believe
that, but for that tariff, cotton would be two cents less
per pound than it is, and cotton goods twice the price s
that they are.

Efit.( ipk. imhsthy or Fiiaxik A3fn Great Brt-
tuv. From the Boston Daily Advertiser. M. Dupan
in a wo*-k entitled Productive and Commercial Power of
France, makes an estimate of the amount of labor and
power applied to the production of national
wealth, under the classes of individual power of domes-
tic animals, and that of the exerted by means
of mechanical inventions. In this estimate he considers
a unit the power of each male, from 17 to 54 j
age, and as a half that of each male, from 12 to 17 and
from $A to GO. The labor of children under 12 and of
persons over GO he considers as nothing, and that of fe-
males as half that of males of the same age. On this
basis he estimates the personal labor of the inhabitants ot
France as equivalent to that ot 12,609,057 males in the
vigor of life.

We have said thus much in reference to the merits of the
American canvass;, because we view the success of this
manufacture as intimately connected with our means of
national defence. It is well known that during the last
war, when a holt of American duck could not be had in the
country, our national vessels and privateers were forced to
supply themselves with the foreign article at $ 40 per bolt
or $1 per yard. In the event of another such crisis, we are
confident that American thick could be furnished at one
third that price, and possessing twice the durability. To
insure this result it is only necessary for the government
and ship owners to give "a preference to the Phenix Mill
and other American ducks, if of equal good quality.

A Rio paper of the 19th of May, contains the address
of the chamber of deputies and of the senate to the em-
peror on the Opening of the chambers. They supi ra-
bound with professions of attachment to his imperial
majesty and to the constitution. Their relations with
foreign powers are suited to be on.a friendly and favora-
ble footing. The address of the deputies is silent as to
the situation of the affairs with Buenos Ayres, and the
only reference to this subject m that of "the senate, is
led in the following sentence:
ie senate appreciates, as it ought, the personal
sacrifices to which his imperial majesty has submitted,
to direct the public feeling to a resistance of the machi-
nations of the government ot Buenos Ayres, and of the
aroof which he has given of his love of country and of
nis desire to put an end to the evils of war."'

We were quite amused with the laconic replies of his
majesty to these addresses. To the former he said, "I
am well aware of the manner of thinking of the chamber
of deputies;" and to the latter, "I have perfectly under-
stood you."

MEXICO.

There has been a serious disturbance at Vera Cruz in
eonsequenoe of the commander of a regiment of soldiers
refusing to obey the orders of his general. The colonel
has been ordered to leave the city. The disobedience of
the colonel is attributed to party faction, which power-
fully prevails in many parts of the republic.

The "declaration" agreed upon hy the baron Dumas
and signior Camacho, provides for a commercial inter-
course between France and Mexico on principles of li-
beral reciprocity. The duties on the tonnage and car-
goes of the vessels of the different countries are to be
the same, and each is to have, in the ports of the other,
all the privileges enjoyed by the most favored nation;
only Mexico makgs reservations of the special favors she
has already granted to her sister republics of the south,
and France provides that nothing in 'the declaration"
shall be so construed as to interfere with the agreement
she has made with Hay ti. The convention is called "a
declaration." If it had been termed a treaty, it would
have been regarded hy Spain as a formal recognition of
Mexican independence.

The accuracy til the foregoing statement of occurrences
at the Dalizc, b attested by the written memorandum of the
iuspectorat that place, at the foot of his usual periodical
report to the collector, and which was not received, or
heard of by that officer, before the judicial investigation
referred to'. The residue appears from mutter of record.

It is trusted that it sufficiently establishes:

That the pending prosecutions, instead of having been
begun in a spirit ot persecution or cruelty, were in some
sort, forced upon the now vituperated officers, by a rash
and almost avowed disregard of the law s of neutrality, in
the accused:

That far from having been since unworthily abandoned,
under the imagined influence of an adverse "puhlic opi-
nion" (the murmurs of which have not been heard by
them ) they will he followed up, especially against the
more conspicous and intelligent offenders, in the spirit
hich they werehegun:

That, that spirit, whatever it ma\ be, though unfortu-
nately rebuked in tones sufficiently harsh, by certainly not

consider the obligation of the law as independent on "po-
lirv," or public opinion," deserve a blush at least for its
severity; and that it acknowledges no prejudices that re*

UN CE RT AIN" T Y OF TI IE LA \V .
From' a London paper of Attgxut 5, liS'27.

The vice chancellor, oti Thursday, bathe interminable
cause, De Beauvoir v. Rhodes, gave the counsel in this
case a tolerable strong hint of his opinion. Alter listen-
ing patiently to the alternate applications of counsel, his
honor called on Mr. lleald "to move something which
might be beneficial to some parties." We are glad to
find symptoms of reform perceptible in the conduct of all
our three judges of the chancery court.

On Wednesday the vice chancellor took the opportu-
nity of observing, generally, on the system of throwing
obstacles in the way of the performance of the orders of
the court, for the mere purpose of increasing costs. He
censured the practice, and stated that, in all cases where
such conduct was pursued, he would throw the costs on
the party who uunecessariUy caused the delay. He
would also convey his opinion to the chancellor, and re-
quest his lordship to give directions to the masters, when
taxing costs, to allow none for supplementary orders.

*Had their transient imprisonment been marked by
circumstances of needless rigor? "Two of them" the
eemmodore has been informed died by sickness brought
on by their detention. What are their names? When?
where? and of what sickness did they die? If the in-
formation so published and therefore apparently believed
by the commodore were sustained by the fact, it might be
deplored as a misfortune, bul,//.'. itself could entail no re-
prehension on the officers concerned, if these were pro-
bable cause for their detention, and if unaccompanied by
cruelty or neglect towards the prisoners. But the worthy
keeper of the prison exhibits no bill of mortality. The
prisoners committed to his charge were, without excep-
tion enlarged, it would be hazarding nothing-to say hi as
good condition as the) were received in. A charge against
that officer of cruelty or neglect of the health and com-
fort of his prisoners, there are few bold enough to matte
and support it by a nam-. It would be contradicted by
the unanimous voice of this community as well as the an-
nual recorded reports of the grand juries and legislative
committal*, Bui the inspector who arrested the prison-
ers at first, (not without difficulty for the vessel attempted
to escape,) heard it indistinctly talketl among the prison-
ers, (the truth of which even he does not know,) that
two of them, whom he neither saw, nor, otherwise, beard
of, had fallen overboard in the chase. Is the possible
fate of these unarrested persons, the detention or its ef-
' to which the commodore's informant refers?

In his charge at Salisbury, judge Best saitl, "there is
another part of the (aw which" Mr. Peel has altered; the be-
nefit of clergy. As the law stood, a person who was found
guilty of one offence, though charged with the commis-
sion of a doaen offences, could not be tried for more than
one; but Mr. Peel's bill has altered so unwise a provi-
and a separate Indictment can be preferred on each,
and the guilty person receive the sentence consequent on
all. The benefit of clergy could only have been made
use of once, and the person who "had the advantage
of it on one occasion, could not resort to it a second
time. The appeal was defeated by putting in what
palled a counter plea; but so uufrequent was that
practice, that during the eleven years in which 1 ha
been a judge, I only recollect one' occasion where it was
made use of. According to the new law , the indictment
is to state that the person was tried before, and B certifi-
cate from the clerk of the assizes is to be considered suffi-
cient evidence of the fact. I therefore venture to recom-
mend the magistrates of this county, whenever an of-
fender is brought before them, to enquire if he has been
indicted before and to take care that a proper certificate
of such indictment be forthcoming at his trial. "

At the present assizes lor Worcester, certain par:
were indicted for stealing two duok^ but as it came out
in evidence that they killed the two ducks before they
stole them, Mr. Justice Litllcdale charged the jury to
bud them not guilty, on the ground that in legal construc-
tion the words "two ducks" must betaken to mean ,4 tWO
Uve ducks;" whereas, it was proved that f/u'se ducks w<
dead: and the parties were round not guilty accordingly.
Query: Is not a duck a duck 1 And if not, what is k?
Query again: Would the thieves who */ofc the ducks
have been not guilty of stealing the ducks, supposing
they had only half killed the ducks before they stole
them?

A notorious gang of robbers, on the Windsor road, es-
caped at the quarter sessions, because the drawing up of
the indictment had described agdtrn and petticoat as the
property of a woman instead ot a man; this said woman
happening to be married, the learned chairman held that
it legally belonged to the husband, and on this plea the
whole gang were acquitted, much to the annoyance of a
worthy magistrate, who declared that he had heard of a
wife wearing the breeches, but never before of a husband
wearing the petticoat. At the same sessions, an indivi-
dual, tried on an indictment for sheep-stealing, seemed In
a fair way to escape, by his legal defender proving that the
animal was not legally a sheep, in consequence of not.
being come of age, and the matter was put aside to be
gravely argued at a future period. Nothing could ex-
ceed the astonishment of the master. The next sheep
stolen from him, he vowed he would call u pig, and try
what the effect of that would be.

"Who shall decide when doctors disagree?" Judge
Best's charge in favor of pugilism, will be found under
that head in another place. At the same point of time
judge Oarrow was making the following charge against
it at Bedford. He saitl if a quarrel is treasured Up, and
time be taken to arrange the meeting, and one of the
party fails, the offence amounts to murder, and principal,
seconds, and by-standers wire all guilty. He called on
the grand jury to put a stop to the practice of prize lights,
which, he regretted to say, had been patronised by men
of rank, who sported their sovereigns on thelife or death
of a fellow creature.

Why are people to be put to 200 expense for the
commons' fees and charges alone, on the renewal of a
bill that had been found to be useful. There are, af-
terwards, the lords' fees and charges; and all these art:
independent of lawyer, surveyor, and agents charges for
bringing in and conducting such bills. So that even a tri-
lling bill tor the renewal ol some local act, seldom costs less
than 600 or 800* otten l,2UO. If those hills originat-
ed in a 'rage' for legislation, any means that would check
the prevailing influenza on such subjects, would be a na-
tional benefit; but when there is loo much reason to fear
that the parliamentary privilege of charging enormous
costs alongside Buoh prodigal fees, and wheUrBven par-
liamentary clerks Mi as agents for conducting private
bill* through their own houses, or as solicitors to noble-
men, ivc is it. not to be apprehended that the said privi-
lege of charging heavHy, and almost endlessly, in trail-

contains a review ol th< of the citizens ol"

abject, at published herem February last. Tftiahiihlj
interest th the following remarks:

When we regard the situation of Baltimoi
the populous and productive empire growing up in her
rear, and compared with that ofthe other great marts on
.board, there seems little donbi ol her securing, in
Ot of her completing the prop - .1 road, far the

the climate of New Orleans, her firct competitor,
tremely injurious, and to I of this merchandise

must be added the no inconsiderable danger of hie to the
trader, in tiiat unwholesome mart. Neither has tin: convey-
ance by the rivers, being liable to interruption by both
drought and ice, tiie same certainty or deration as by a rail-
road, which may he used at all seasons, and the time ot tran-
sit computed to an hour. The imports to the west are still
carried m wagons ..cross the mountains, instead of ascend-
ing those rivers from New Orleans, and the construction
of a railway would determine this branch of trade exclu-
sively to that route. From the peculiar nature of the
country bordering on the Mississippi and its tributaries,
the dangers of the descending navigation of that river are
unlikely to be ever effectually removed, to say nothing
of the distance of New Orleans from the ocean, and from
Europe.

Nor is it more probable that the western canal of New
York will divert any considerable portion of this trade,
especially that of the districts lying remote from lake
Eric. Besides the disadvantage of the port of New York
in point ot distance, and the greater cost of shipping and
the delay before alluded to, (both of which will he much en-
hanced by the necessity of four different trans-shipments,)
that avenue must he closed by the climate during three
or four of those months ofthe year which are most con-
venient to the farmer for bringing his produce to market.
Even at this moment, the produce from the Susquehannah
country bordering close on the canal, is brought by that
river to Baltimore in the spring, and several thousand
tons of merchanise are landed onher wharves !>
canal is released from its icy bonds. This is an in,
evidence of the preferableness of a ready and early con-
veyance to market. K believed, that the Alle-
gany ridge can be pierced with I

canal or railway, at any point, either north or south of
that projected by Baltimore. In both directions, the ab-
ruptness of the rocky ridge, or :m tide,
or both, are greater than they are near the valley of the
Potomac, while to the south, moreover, there is no port
of consequence convenient at once to the sea and to the
interior. As the effect, in short, of the proposed road
will be to replace Baltimore on a level a1 least, with her
rivals as to facility of conveyance, so hi r advantage in dis-
tance must restore to her that preeminence as a depot of
produce from the interior, which was one of the chief
tourccs of her original prosperity. When it is r
bered that the streams of commerce, like <
terrained in their coarse by slightest circumstances, it.
seems highly probable that the tide ofthe western trade,
especially from the middle regions, wilt, by one of such
moment, be turned chiefly in the direction of Baltimore.
Any certain computation of the increase of trade, to
which thu pending project would give rise, is of course,
not to be expected. The estimates of the report do not

appear to be < I, and, indeed, conjecture can

hardl) approximate \eiy closely the results of opening

such an avenue to regions so extensive, populou

fertile. In the an, . alone, the cost of pro-

n, including hi it th o market, would bo

1 l\ diminished, as probably' to establish Baltimore,

for an indefinite period, an unrivalled mar! for gram.

OUld be a proportional increase, from the like

if the other usual products of agricultural and

manufacturing industry, as hemp, tobacco, flax, flaxseed,

animal provision, lard, tallow, whiskey, iron, gh'ss, &c.

and COtton, instead of descending to New Orleans, would

seek its way in large quantities, by this direct channel, to

t t > die European markets,

But it is, perhaps, on the trade in the heavy and bulky
products of tl f, thai the influence of a cheap

and practicable road to market, wouj I be the most
striking. The districts contiguous to the line of the
railway, abound in coal ofthe best quality, in lime,
slate, marble, freestone, marl, gypsum, and timber; but
their gnat weight, and the want of economical commu-
nications, have rendered them hitherto of little or no
value to the proprietors of the soil. The commerce in

d than augmented,
and that to an extent which ma\ be conjectured from
Je fact, that at present the lime used in Washing-
ton, is brought from Rhode Island, When there lies an
inexhaustible supply of it at her very doors. The value
of the fuel abounding in this district would he so much
the greater to .Man land, as that state possesses immense
stores of iron ore of the most valuable kind, which will
long outlast the supply of fuel from the present sources;
to say nothing of the impulse which, in the increasing
use of steam power, would be given to innumerable
other manufactures, in a port convenient for shipping
them elsewhere. But to descend to the particulars ot"
this extensive subject, would much exceed our limits.
There, is, however, one branch of trade, which, at u
small cost, will add materially to the luxury of the table
in the interior; we mean in fresh fish and oysters; to
commodities of this sort, as well as fresh fruits and ve-
getables from the interior, the saving of time in convey-
ance is every thing. By the present slow transport, sea
fish and oysters are wholly denied to districts remote
from the coast; and as the Chesapeake and its waters
abound in those, a new branch of industry, and a great
augmentation of their tonnage, would accrue to the
nautical population inhabiting the shores of the hay.

A mode of communication of which the celerity may
be increased so far beyond that of any other, is espe-
cially advantageous in this country, whose population
is comparatively sparse, and so many of whose most fer-
tile districts lie extremely remote from the sea. If this
circumstance be so important to the trade of England,
no part of whose interior lies farther than perhaps a
hundred miles from a seaport, of what moment must it.
be to the vast districts beyond the Ohio, some of which
are distant two thousand miles from New Orleans, none
of them nearer to an Atlantic port than two hundred and
fifty; and the greater part distant more than live hundred?
On the height of land between the Ohio and the Atlantic,
there lies 'an extensive district, especially valuable for
pasturage, which, being remote from both, is now desert
and valueless, when compared with the districts on
either side. On these traits, fertile in vegetable and
probably much more so in mineral treasures, the comple-
tion of a way to market would operate with immense
benefit, and open new fountains of trade at a point com-
paratively near to the Atlantic ports.

In the western states the combined effect of the
abuhdance of food and of the remoteness of a market,
would naturally he the rapid introduction of manufac-
tures; while, on the Other hand, any diminution ofthe
of getting their agricultural products to market,
and, from the like cause- of obtaining their supply of for-
eign fabrics in return, would, it is presumed, as natu-
rally retard the extension of domestic manufacture. As
this circumstance would prolong in this country the pre-
sent extensive importation of British fabrics and other
foreign dry goods, BO that importation would naturally
be made to the port most convenient for distributing them

into the interior*. In the event, therefore, of the com-
pletion of the railway, Baltimore Would probably sha v '-.

MR. RUCKNKR'S ADDRI

To his constituents, in relation to gen. Jackson's letter to

col. Wm, Owens.

To the voters of the eighth congressional district.

The election of a member to congress from this dis-
trict having closed, 1 can address you, without incurring
the censure of acting from interested motives in relation
to it. The political excitement which has prevailed in
this district and throughout the state, dictates the pro-
priety ot permitting the ehulitions of passion to subside
as soon as possible, and not to give additional fuel to the
tlame. Such was my ardent desire; and [ should have
contented myself, by returning to you my most grateful
acknowledgements for the recent testimony which you
hare furnished of your unabated confidence, in at least
my disposition to serve you faithfully, in the arduous and
honorable station to which you have called me, at three
successive elections, had it not been tor a most extraor-
dinary attempt, made by gen. Andrew Jackson, not only
fo injure my prospect of election, but to assail the purity
of my motives in the course winch I pursued during the
canvass. You all know what that course has been, and
the unprincipled attacks which some ot my enemies have
made upon me. With them, no fabrications against the
administration, (for whose acts they seem disposed to
hold me responsible), was too barefaced-, no misrepre-
sentation of my political opinions, was too ridiculous to
\ ed by men, who seemed determined on success,
utterlyregardless of die means employed to ensure it.
It was in vain that an appeal was made, to their candour
to take the public speeches made by me, both in con-
gressand before you, with my votes, as the surest test of
those opinions. Marked as the victim of their political
persecution, the rancour of their hostility towards me
appeared to be but increased by the prospect of my suc-
cess.

Notonly the errors, real or supposed, ol the present
administration of the genera] government, hut even those
of the administration ol Mr. Adams deceased, were urged,
and grossly misrepresented to you, with the intent of
operating against my interest l' i all true patriots, it

One last and violent struggle was to be made. Expres-
sions alleged to have been uttered, by me, more than tw<
oribed to me, in which 1 am repre-
sented as evincing an utter contempt, both for tl>-
pie ol mj district, and for the republican principles on
which our government is founded. To those statei
iua few hand-bills, hastily prepared, 1 gave a most
live and unequivocal denial; and by the testimony
gentleman of high respectability, disproved them,' as far
as a negative is susceptible of proof. Before 1 had time
to prepare even that defence, the letter alluded to made
its appearance-. It contains a slander which was perhaps
not intended for publication, but for the eye of his friend
and correspondent, Wm. Owens, esq. Geo. Jackson in
that letter, dated 26th of July last, influenced by motives.
which no one ot common sense can misunderstand, and
winch every man ofhonorable sentiments must condemn as
utterly unworthy and contemptible, asserts that circum-
on record at Washington city stump my allega-
tions with falsehood. Printed copies of this foul and
slanderous letter were circulated through my district in
every direction, for about a week before the ejection, at a
time when it was known, both by its writer and the indi-
vidual to whom it was addressed, that 1 should have no
opportunity of making a written reply to it, untd after
the election was over. What my allegations were, is not
stated. Had there been any specification, an wpportu-
nity would have been afforded to me of relying upon
either a denial or justification. But it best suits the pur-
poses of defamation to deal in general remarks, I hope
that I shall be forgiven by you, in the vindication of my-
self, by following the vulgar example set, and declaring,
that the charge, thus made against me, by gen. Jackson,
is itself absolutely false. The petition signed "Jolm
Harris" was not alleged by me to be genuine. It had
been published in many of the papers of the United
Suites, without my procurement or knowledge. The
general yielding too much to that impetuosity of feeling
and violence of temper, for which he is said to he so re-
markable, is thus giving to the petition and circumstances
on which it purports to be founded, much greater impor-
tance than they would otherwise have. Compared with
the main objections against his promotion to the presiden-
cy, they are, in my humble judgment, as mole-hills by
the side of the Amies. 1 have not now time, nor would
it be a suitable occasion, on which to enter into an exami-
nation of them. 1 have frequently called your attention
to many of them, and shall probably do so again. Let
then the general bear patiently the scrutiny of the public
eye. The conduct, the character, political and moral,
as well as the qualifications of an individual aspiring to
the highest office within the gift of the people of the
United States, will, and ought to be subjects of the most
rigid investigation. If the peaceful solitude of his "Her-
mitage" be so disturbed, whenever he hears that they
have been topics of remark, let me assure him that it is
destined to be again, and again, the scene o f confusion
and consternation. 1'ublic curiosity lias been aroused,
and public enquiry is on its march. Nor have they
been without their beneficial effects. Almost each week
has brought to view additional tacts, and thrown new
lights on those subjects, calculated to open the eyes of the
people and to warn them of the dangerous precipice
upon which they tread.

The general 'a "hard earned reputation," about which
he speaks, witli such becoming modesty, if it be founded
on real merit, is in no danger of being impaired by ex-
amination. Hut if, when the mist of popular prejudice

must be matter of great regret that such violent party I and partiality shall be dissipated, the sober judgment ot
spirit should prevail. 1 have watched its progress, not I an enlightened public shall pronounce that his, was a

years past, with no small apprehension of the alarming
and fatal consequences to which it most inevitably leads,
the wise and virtuous part of the community shall
discountenance, and thereby cluck its influence. The
various public addresses made by me during tin- summer
afforded me opportunities of turning my attention 1 i most
of the charges alluded to, to shew the fallacy of some,
and the inapplicability of them nil, so far as they were in-
tended to operate on me. It was apparent to my ene-
mies, blinded even as they wen: by parly spirit, that their
attempt would prove abortive, unless some other ( ipe-
dient could be resorted to with better hopes of success.

to be applied to the present administration, such expres-

On a i"e-examination of the numbers 1 find this construc-
tion is not as apparent as 1 thought it was, and as 1 intend-
ed. I therefore feel it my duty to say, it was not my inten-
tion to charge you with any intentional misstatement, or
with being the author of it. It was barely to shew, that
*S book which was read by you, (and
for the truth of which you said you did not vouch), was
false. I knew you were not the author of it, and there-
fore, could not be charged with its falsehood; but being
used in your Speech, I was not, 1 acknowledge, sufficient-
ly explicit in applying the charge, so as to avoid a con-
struction that it might apply to you. As an honest ami
honorable man, I feel it my duty to make this statement
before the controversy arrives at a point which cannot be
changed. Over and above this, I feel it my duty, in obe-
dience to the benign spirit of that religion which 1 profess,
whenever I am convinced that I have done an injury to my
neighbor's moral character, or property, to restore to
him full sa tisf ac t ion. If there be any other words harsh

those words are the same as above stated; and partly , per-
haps, to an indulgence too much cherished by the people
generally, in the use of public men as public property.
ihave thus frankly done what I believed to be right, by
disavowing all intentions of insult, or injury to your
moral character or even to hurt your feelings as a man,
a fellow citizen, and a neighbor; and therefore must en-
entertain the belief that you think I acted from honorable
motives and not with an intention -wantonly to wound
your feelings. JAMES ALLEN.

Mil. [SACK'SLETTER.

Sparta, (Ten.) 5th September, 1

Sin: I find in your paper of the 1st inst. a comment
upon the matters lately made public by the communica-
tions of gen. Jackson and Mr. Buchanan; and il
of my constituents an inquiry therein made of me, for
whatever] may know on that subject. As well on ac-
count of the relation existing between the people of this
district and myself the frequent mention which I have
made during the 1: rial facts dis-

closed by those communications, as the allusion made to
lac in that affair by other prints, 1 cannot object to the
propriety of the inquiry. The names oi the persons con-
cerned being already before the public, there remain - i
considerations of delicacy sufficient to forbid the
which I have to make to* your call.

In the winter of 1S l 24 -5 after it was known that Mr.
Clay had not i sufficient number of ( I

votes to bring him before the house of representatives as
a candidate for president; and before I had heard of any
indications being given by him, and his friends, of the
course which they ultimately took in the election, 1 met
with Mr. Markley of Pennsylvania, in the lobby of tin-
house of representatives, in the morning a little before the
meeting of the house; we were setting on a sofa on '
wing from the door; Mr. Markley introduced tie
of the approaching presidential election, and spoke en-

couragingly of gen. Jackson's prospects of success, to
.dily assented. Mr. Markley, however,
led further, and with more than ordinary interest
and earnestness, (as 1 thought,) insisted that general Jack-
sou, if elected, ought to appoint Mr. Clay secretary of
state, and urged to me the necessity of having the thinq-
so understood; and said that he wished to see Mr. Eaton
about it. In answer to that, I spoke of my own high re-
gard for Mr. Clay, but told him as for general Jackson I
could say nothing. I did not know w hat his intentions were
upon the contingency mentioned, and consequently had
no authority to Communicate an\ thing. My object was
to let the matter presented by this part of the conversa-
tion rest just were I found it; and that the proposition
made should neither become of more or less weight from
an) thing I might say, for I knew nothing that would ena-
ble me to incline it < ither way; audi sought to be so under-
stood. \\v\v the conversation ended. ' The words used
in it 1 have not attempted to give, but their import was
\\ hai I have stated.

After the adjournment of the house on the same day, I
met with Mr. Buchanan of Pennsylvania, on the way to
our lodgings, about where we passed the enclosure that
surrounds the capitol; we walked together about half a
mile, taking the pavement on the left side of Pa. avenue.
The points on which our conversation turned, I will relate
as 1 now recollect them. Upon our falling in together,
Mr. Buchanan let me know that Mr. Markley had been
talking with him", and had pressed him for information on
the subject of cabinet appointments, in the event of gen.
Jackson's election. I soon discovered from Mr. Buchan-
an's conversation, that the proposition to him had been
varied from that made to me in the morning, at least pre-
sented in another view. The information which seemed
to be sought through Mr. Buchanan, was an assurance to
be rolled on, that J\>tr. Adams -would not be continued in
t/ie state department. We talked about these propositions,
and their propable bearings on the election. I expressed
the fullest conviction that gen. Jackson would give no as-
surance as lo who would or who would not, be appointed,
and that his friends could not say any thing on the sub-
ject. Mr. Buchanan suggested that he thought the sub-
ject ought to be well considered That an answer would
be expected. These I understood to be his apprehensions
It nothing was communicated on Avhich Mr. Clay and
his friends could rely: That Mr. Adams would have a
manifest advantage over general Jackson in the contest;
because it had already been rumored, that il elected, gen.
Jackson would continue Mr. Adams in his (then) present
office, and this would be turned to the account of the lat-
ter; on the other hand the election of Mr. Adams would
necessarily leave the department of state vacant. And he
insisted that the effect of these circumstances ought to be
counteracted. That gen. Jackson ought to be informed
of these matters, and oh ntioned Mr. Eaton or myself as
most suitable to make the communication to him. 1 per-
ceived and admitted the effect which these circumstances
might have on the event, (if such means were to be used
and regarded.) I spoke of the supposition respecting Mr.
Adams bema* continued in the state department as wholly
unauthorized by gen. Juckson or his friends, so far as I
knew. That as to myself, I was so well apprised of the
general's determination to remain silent upon all subjects
calculated to give direction to the progress of the election
till it was over, that 1 could not, with propriety lay, the
subject before kim, but said that if he, (Mr. B.) thought
it indispensable, to go himself and talk with Jackson,
hich would prevent me, would not
apply to him. 1 clo.i 'l know whether Mr. Buchanan had
concluded to go, or not, when our conversation was bro-
ken off by our being joined by Mr. Clay, who had over-
taken us. We walked together but a short distance af-
ter this, till 1 took leave and crossed the avenue in the di-
rection toward my boarding house, (Mr. Fletcher's,) hav-
ing went beyond the cross street leading most directly
there from the capitol.

My opinion of the character of the answer which ge-
neral Jackson would give to such a communication if
made to ben, was formed from an acquaintance with the
nun and his conduct during the canvass. And 1 felt
willing, or rather yielded, thai Mr. Buchanan, who

cient support*

GENERAL CHARLES LEE.

When general Lee lived at Philadelphia, alter lus trial
in 1779, he was in the habit of riding frequently on horse
back. When he rode he wore sherry rallies which were
not quite as common then, as they have subsequently be-
come. Miss. F s, a Jewish lady, having observed the

general with these accoutrements, remarked that "gene-
ral Lee wore green breeches patched with leathcr.-~
The remark, coming to the general's ears, occasioned
the following admirable jeud'esprit. [JV. T.M. Conner.
J'hilailelplua, Dec. 20M. 1779.

Madam: When an officer ot the respectable rank I
grossly traduced and calumniated, it is incumbent
on him to clear up the affair to the world, with as little
delay as possible. ' The spirit of defamation and calumny,
(I am sorry to say,) is growing to a prodigious and in-
tolerable height upon this continent. It you had accus-
ed me of a design to procrastinate the war, or ot holding a
treasonable correspondence with the enemy, 1 could have

borne it; this I am used to; and this happened to the great
Pabms Maximus. If you had accused me ol getting drunk
as often as I could "get liquor, as two Alexanders the
-reat have been charged with this vice, I should, perhaps,
have sat patient under the imputation; or even it vouhad
given the plainest hints, that 1 had stolen the soldiers
shirts, this I could have put up with, as the great duke of
Marlborough would have been an example; or it you had
contented yourself with asserting, that I was so abomi-
nable a sloven as never to part with my shirt, until my
shirt parted with roe, the anecdotes ol my illustrious
namesake of Sweden would have administered some com-
fort to me. But the calumny you have, in the fertility of
vour malicious wit, chosen to invent Is of so new. SO un-
precedented, and so hellish a kind, as would mal
hi m sell

Is it possible that tht Miss V s , a lady

who has had every human and divine advantage, who has

read, (or, at least might have reach) in the originals, the

and Old Testaments, though I am afraid she too

seldom looks even into a translation: 1 My is it possible

that Miss F s, with every human and divine advan-

who might and ought "to have read the;- two good
books, which, (an old Welsh nurse, whose uncle yasrfe
oned the best preacher in Merionetshire, assured mc,)
enjoin charity and denounce vengeance against slander
and evil speaking; is it possible, I again repeat it, that

Miss 1" s, should, in the face of the day, carry her

malignity so far, in the presence of three most respecta-
ble personages: (one ot the oldest religion in the world,
one of the newest; for he is a new-light man; and the other,
most probably, of no religion at all, as he is an English
sailor;) but 1 demand it again and again, is it possible that
Miss F s should assert it, in presence of these respec-
table personages, "that I wore green breeches patched
with leatherr'tO convict you, therefore, id' the falsehood
of this diabolical slander; to put you to eternal silence,
(if you are not past all grace,) and to cover you with
a much larger patch of infamy than you have wantonly
endeavored to fix on nVj breeches, 1 have thought proper,
by the advice of three \r\-\ grave friends, (lawyers and
members of congress, ot course excellent judges in de-
licate points of honor, ) to send you the said breeches,
and, with the consciousness of truth on my side, to sub-
mit them to the most severe inspection and scrutiny of
you and all those who may have entered into this w icked
cabal against my honor and reputation.

I say, 1 dare you, and your whole junto, to your worst;
turn them, examine them, inside and outside, and it you
find them to be green breeches patched with leather, and
not actually legitimate sherry vallies, such as his majesty
of Poland wears, (who, let me tell you, is a man that ha?
made more fashions than all the knights of the Mischianza
put together, notwithstanding their beauties:) 1 repeat it,
(though 1 am almost out of breath with repetitions and
parentheses.) that if these are proved to be patched green
breeehrr. and not real legitimate sherry valiies, (which a
man of the first bon ton might be proud of,)d will submit in
silence to all the scurrility which, no doubt, you and your
abettors are prepared to pour out against me in the pub-
lic papers on this important and interesting occasion. Hut
madam! madam! reputation ("common sense,) very sen-
sibly, though not very uncommonly observes), is a se-
rious thing" You have already injured me in the tender-
ed part, and demand satisfaction; and you cannot be ig-
norant of the laws of duelling, having conversed with so
many Irish officers, whose favorite topic it is, particularly
in the company of ladies, I insist on the privilege ol' die
injured party, which is, to name his hour and weapons;

1 he importation from the West Indies has diminished
in nearh exactly the same proportion as the exportation
to the East Indies has augmented. Besides, a consider-
able part ol the British exportations to me west tuaies
is destined to other countries. The value of British mer-
chandise re-exported from the British West India colo-
nies in 1824 was 1,519,350 and in 1825, 1,914,452.
Woollens are not exported to the West Indies; Lot to

1,197,909. In 1814 the white and printed cottons ex-
ported to the West Indies amouuted to 2,100,840; in 18 l,
to 734,418.

West India trade. The Philadelphia Democratic
Press, in remarking-upon the reasoning of the Philadel-
phia Gazette about the loss of the West India trade,
has this paragraph:

A single fact overthrows his abstract reasoning, and
puts his statement into "Pi:" We have, since the loss of

t India direct trade, exported more to tin
Indies than we did in the corresponding months of the
last year, when the trade was open. We speak from
authority the authority of the custom house books.

[We never would suppose that the amount of the trad.,
would be reduced because of the British prohibitions.]

The case of Morgan. In a late trial, in Ontario coun-
ty, N. York, of five of the persons implicated in the conspi-
racy against William Morgan, in which their counsel ad-
mitted abduction, but denied his clients' participation in it,
the judge delivered a charge to the jury, which is spoke oi
in the following terms, by the reporter of the Rochester
Daily Advertiser.

"The charge of judge Howell was among the most able
efforts of the kind that we have ever heard." It called back
recollections of the times when judge Van Ness used to un-
bosom hi* luminous and capacious mind to a jury. The
prootto establish both the conspiracy and its consummation
was, he said, full and conclusive. That Morgan had been
unlawfully kidnapped and carried off, was abundantly
certain, and that be had been subsequently unlawfully put
to deatli, there was but too much reason to believe. All
exertions, praiseworthy in those who had made them, and
honorable to the country, had thus Jar failed to develope
this nefarious transaction. Exertion and investigation,
how ever, ought not and would not cease until this abomi-
nable crime is exposed, and the perpetrators of it punish-
ed. These defendants, continued the judge, if innocent,
of the offence charged in the indictment, must not suffer
for the foul, black deeds of others. Courts are establish-
ed to protect the. innocent and punish the guilty; and
it is better that 99 guilty men should escape than one
innocent person should suffer. The judge, after briefly
strating the evidence, and explaining the law, gave his
opinion that the testimony, though abundant to prove ab-
stractly, all that is alleged, did not charge those, defend-
ants with the crime. The time of the court, he remark -

Roads axd cawals. A Nashville merchant has found
it convenient to put goods (purchased, we presume, in
New York,) on board of a canal boat at Albany, to be
taken to Nashville by way of the Erie canal. We re-
mark, too, that mahogany has been brought from Hon-
duras to Pittsburg, by the way of the Mississippi.
There are not many political revolutions that affect the
condition of a country more directly than the opening of
a new route and mode of communication. This should
be one of the first cares of government.

Under the date of Little Rock, (Arkansas,) we find
some particulars which show that the general govern-
ment is not indifferent to this important trust. Contracts
have been made for more than a hundred miles of road
from that place to Port Gibson. With the aid of the
troops, thu whole route will be completed by the end of
the current year. Measures are taking, also, to survey
the route of a road, to be constructed by the troops, from
fort Smith on the Arkansas, to fort Towson on Red
River; and of one from fort Towson to the northern boun-
dary of Louisiana, and thence to Natchitoches. Indeed
the troops are probably already engaged in cutting this
last. Contracts have been effected for constructing the
remainder of the road from Memphis to Little Rock. The
total length of these roads is estimated at 854 miles; they
are to be constructed by, and at the expense of, the gene-
ral government; and traverse milUo of the
most valuable cotton lands. Independently of their im-
portance, indeed necessity, in a military point ol view,
they will offer great facilities to emigrants, who have
found real difficulty in getting to the spots they I M
lected tor settlement; and they will offer equal advantage
to the persona travelling to Texas, and other sections of
the Mexican territory. The increased sale of public
suiting from these improvements, will richly re-
pay their cost to government. icon,

St. A\tii.>\v\ lay ijjiisbon. From a London paper..
thony is the patron of Lisbon, and the 13th ot
June, the anniversary of his death, is kept there with
more punctuality, and more festivity and rejoicing, than
any other holiday throughout the year. For weeks pre-
vious, the children in the streets erect altars to his me-
mory, placing a tittle image of the snint on top, and
passing by a few reals for St. Anto-
1 ta the evening o\ the 12th, an altar is erected for
him in the Praka de St. Vaola, with a temporary gallery
at the one side, which is occupied by a regimental band,
which continues playing airs almost without intermission
for 524 hours; the church bells at a certain hour strike up
merry peals; skyrockets are seen shooting up in all di-
rections, and bonfires innumerable are blazing all over
the city. It would, perhaps, be difficult to find another
city in the world, where on any one occasion, such a
number of bonfires are burning at once; and if St. Anto-
nio had performed no other miracle than this purifying
Lisbon he would for that alone deserve immortality*
The city has no such purification, from one end of the
year to the other, not even from thunder Slut ma .a , u .
tumnal torrents, as it has on the night of the l'2th June.
Great crowds of people are in the streets till a late hour
listening to the music, amusing themselves with fire-
works, and speaking of St. Antoniq. St. Antonio is in
every one's mouth. "Who is this St. Antonio'" I said
to a man who was extolling the magnificence of the
scene. "Why, don't you know St. Antonio?" was the
reply. "He is the patron of Lisbon he performed
many miracles; he keeps away the plague, and gets hus-
bands to the raparigas (girls)." lt \ have been in Samoa,
Cephalonia, Corfu, and Turkey the plague is constantly
there, but they have not St. Antonio." 1 was about to
mention another country, where they have neither the
plague nor St. Antonio; but as it could serve no good
purpose to unhinge )ih faith, even if that had been pos-
sible, I made no attempt to undeceive him. The rapa-
rigas, I understand, believe firmly in his miraculobs
power, and put up many a sincere prayer for his friendly
intercession. The numbers, certainly, that frequented
the churches on the 13th, were lmteh greater than usual;
but whether they were invoking St. Antonio or the Vir-
gin, none but themselves know. When their prayers
are long in being heard, they make no scruple in treating
him with great indignity. The common mode of re-
venge is, to put a cord round the neck of the image,
which is to be had in every toy shop, plunge him into a.
well, and threaten to drown him outright, if be does nor.
grant their request w ithin a certain period. [What more
than this would Ashantee pagans do. ]

Red Jacket deposed. From the Buffalo Emporium.
The following document, from which it will be seen, that
the long celebrated chief Red Jacket, has been deposed
by his brethren and associates in authority, -was handed
us by Dr. Jimeson, who was present at "the time, and
who noted in English, the language used, with as much
accuracy as a competent knowledge of both languages
would permit.

We are informed that deposition! of this kind have be-
fore occurred; but believe the instance is rare, in which
a chief of such eminent talents has been prostrated.

We have this week been gratified with examining a mi-
croscope made by Mr. Epnraim Rand, of Bedford, and
which he has been exhibiting in this town. It magnifies
objects four hundred thousand times. We believe no
instrument has been made in this country, which magni-
fies objects more than half as many times as this does.
A common fly appears to be about fifteen feet it length,
and the leg of a grasshopper about twenty feet. Thou-
sands of eyes are perceptible by means of this wonder-
ful instrument in a common fly, and we also perceive an
innumerable number of animated beings in liquids. In
the smallest grain of a fig, which we can see, we per-
ceive a large number of living creatures.

Of printing some labels with the following inscription:
.d Independence, or death in pursuit of it,' y
and placed one on the hat of each man in the compa-
ny; many of the older neighbors who were present wen:

struck with astonishment, and endeavoured to have them

taken down; for die idea of independence at thattiine had
entered the minds of but few men. The venerable Mr.
Carroll the elder, and father to tin present patriarch,
rode up to the father of Dr. Charles Alexander VVarfield

and exclaimed "J/// God *Mr. Warfield, ~uhat does your
son Charles mean, does he knew that he has committed
i gainst his king, and may be prosecuted for <:
rebel?'''' The father replied with much animation and pa-
triotism, we acknowledge no king; the king is a traitor to
us, and a period has arrived when we must either tamely
submit to be slaves, or struggle gloriously for "Uberty
and independence:''' The king has become our enemy
and xve must be his; my son Charles knows what he is
about li liberly and independence, or death in pursuit of
it" is his motto, it is mine, and soon must be the senti-
ment of every man in our country. The mighty words,
"treason against the king" sounded. from one end of the
battalion line to the other, and in a few moments not a la-
bel was to be seen in the hats of any of the men, except
Dr. Warfield and a Mr. James Connor, late of Baltimore

county, who were too stern and undaunted to be intimi-
dated by words, and they wore their labels to their homes.
Thus those venerable patriots moved alternately between
hope and fear, until they accomplished the great object
of their labors:

The father of Dr. Charles Alexander VVarfield had
purchased, just before the war had commenced, two Eng-
lish convicts, they were both of them gun- smiths, one of
them bad been (as he stated) foreman in a gun factory in
England. He purchased the materials and had made by
those two young men two thousand stand of arms ami
bayonets complete, for the use of the state of Maryland,
at a time when there was no arms with which to defend
ourselves, and for which he was paid in continental money,
at Miib a depreciation as to be scarcely worth any thing,
the value of which was not more than sufficient to pur-
for his son Doet Walter Warfield, late of
on, Kentucky, who was surgeon in the army, to
amp; and such was his patriotism, he never com-
plained, or has any of his heirs ever applied to their coun-
further remuneration for those arms which tit that
ly contributed to make us independent. H
was honest, and could nol reconcile it. to his CO-. r
to pay his debts, necessarily contracted for the materials
for making those* arms, in the depreciated currency he
impelled to receive, and when the war was overlie
d for those very debts, and hi* estate ruined ;

was made, by an
. e letter, published in the Columbian Observer,

uspir-

,, 'lives, and I
my duty."

The language employ nlence, is arrang-

ed with so gi i caution, as to make it sus-

ceptible of doubtful intention. The meaning which
the speaker intended should attach, and which, with
nine readers out of ten, will obtain, is, that the Co-
lumbian Observer was sustained by Mr. Senator Ea-
ton the colleague, the friend and the biographer of
General Jackson, to assail his (Mr. Clay's) motives,
and to deter lum in the exercise of his duty. With
this construction, 1 take leave to say, it is misiepro-
sentation it is untrue. Tins paper was assisted,
though not sustained by me for any purpose; and far
less with a view to assuU motives, or to deter any one
in the exercise of his duty.

The letum made of me by the editors of the Co-
lumbian Observer, as one of their creditors, has been
a fruitful theme of exulting remark to Mr. Clay's
editors and friends. I little expected to see him at so
small a business; and still less that he would have ha-
zarded an assertion before the pubiie, when he was
wanting in proof to support that assertion. A sin-
gle paper, to be sure, at Philadelphia, the Democrat-
ic Press had asserted it: But Mr. Clay should have
recollected, that as he was decrying ihe lone of news-
as authority applicable to his own
case, delicacy, and a regard foi consistency should
have restiaincd bis wil lo insist en it, a* a

rule conclusive towards others. Like himself, though,
I can now express my satisfaction at having the tnat-
form, and by "a res-
ponsible act that he may be spared all fur-
ther disquietude on the subject,he shall be aflbrded
the history of tho transaction, precise and accurate as
. leave to make of {thereafter what-
ever Use he can.

To the editors of that paper, and at their request, I
did lend as \ ; at that time, before, nor af-

afler, was there an agreement, or understanding, ex-
pressed or otherwise, as to any political coarse which
they should pursue. More than a yoaroi coding this
circumstan* re 1 ever knew Messrs. Simp-

son fl Conrad the editors, had that paper been warm-
ly and zealously in the cause of General Jack
It was my own money, not the publick's; and 1 have
yet to leai:- 'here is cither culpability or

criminality ii money to the respectable editor

of a newspaper, greater than to any other individual
in society, unless as a stipend to induce to a course
oetioned by Ins preference or judgement. The
character of those edit": > turn aside

the imputation of opinions thus controlled while a
recollection that for eighteen months r more they had
labored in support of Andrew Jackson, altogether
forbids it.

Rut, again: In adverting to this transaction -to
my mind a very innocent and unoffending one why
was it necessary lor Mr. Clay to throw around me, for
description sake, so many far fetched and high sound-

Mr. Katon,ofthe Senate (there
in that body none other bearing a name, or even
a similar name,) would as it appears to me, be alto-
gether roffieient, it description of person was alone
the end and object designed to be attained; but this
was not the ad hence the lofty addenda,

"_the colleague the frirnd and the biographer of
kaon." What, then, was it? An attempt
at deception a matter of special pleading, by which
it was expected, a conclusion in the public mind would
be arrived at, that General Jackson was the shelterer
of this paper, intended and sustained for the avowed
purpose to assaxlMr. Clays motives, and lo deter him
in the exercise of his duty. To this obviously design-
ed intendment. I apply a positive denial of its truth.
General Jaohson was in Tennessee, and knew no
more of the loan made to those gentlemen, than Mr.
Clay did; nor did he know* of it, until during last win-
ter, when on the supposition, I suppose, that it
might be used as a good set off to the changes and
breakings of the Secretary, in his By Authority
corps it became matter of remark and censure in
those columns which were friendly to Mr. Clay and
Mr. Adams. Befoie this period, 1 had not spoken of
it; nor until this time, detailed tho particulars. I do
so now, lest, under the authority of the name which
brings forward the accusation, suspicions may arise,
and a character and consequence be given to the
transaction, greater than it merits. In presenting
myself before the pubiie on a subject which so lately
has produced some excitement, and much inquiry and
remark, I have felt it proper to speak thus far of mat-
ters which essentially pertain to myself; and with
that portion of the subject I am now done.

In connection with this speech, are also other mat-
ters which have been presented to the consideration of
the country; and about which 1 have been referred to,
both by General Jackson and Mr. Buchanan. With
references thus made, to remain silent and reserved,
amidst the general interest which prevails, by many
might be considered improper. I 6hall present there-
fore, my understanding of things as they were at the
time, and as they are still retained upon my recollec-
tion.

Between the statement of General Jackson and that
submitted by Mr. Buchanan, 1 can perceive some dif-
ferences ; but they are principally verbal, and not ma-
terial. Those which do obtain, appear to me rather
facts themselves: substantially, there is accord. Mr.
Buchanan alleges, that, on approaching General Jack-
son, he did not come from Mr. Clay. It is not asser-
ted that he did; General Jackson states, his opinion
at the time was, that Mr. Buchanan had come from
Mr. Clay or aome of his friends; but this is given
merely as matter of impression nothing more. By
the showing of Mr. Isaacks and Mr. Buchanan, it now
ap|cars, that Mr. Mnrkley was the negotiator. A
difference as to the date the period of tune at which
the conversation took place, may exist ; for Mr. Buch-
anan places it on the 30th of December. It may be,
however, that he intends 1 1ns as the period of his con-
on with Mr. Marklcy ; if it be in reference to
his interview with General Jackson, then, agreeably
to my recollection, it is a mistake. I cannot precise-
ly, and to a day, declare tho time when Mr. B. came
to sec and converse with me; but I do recollect it to
have been during that week, on the Saturday of
which theroported moetingofMr. Clay and his friends
took place, and when the determination was taken to
support Mr. Adams. 1 feel quito satislied, that the
meeting to which I allude, was on Saturday the22d
of January. Early in that week, (Tuesday or Wed-
nesday evening,) Mr. Buchanan visited me. It was
on the pavement, and in frout of my own residence,
where wo conversed together'. A statement of our
conversation, concisely drawn, was given to General
Green, editor of the United States Telegraph, at hid
request, in August 1836 mord than a year ago it
is as follows :

ay I was sorry had existence. The circumstan-
which I allude were the continued silence and
iy reserve of Mr. Clay's friends,in publishing or
known, how they would vote; and the Fact
that the Kentucky delegation who voted for Mr. A.
had a meeting to determine upon their course, as J
.formed by one of them : at which it was said to
me. that upon the question being proposed to Mr.
Clay for whom shall we vote, ho answered in sub-
Mance, "that incase General Jackson should be elect-

le case, there, was danger to his pros-
pects, in the other there would be none; nor was tins
given as an opinion formed, or belief entertained it
rongcr import he was $aiiffied there would bo
none. The speech bad its effect, the long agony was
over, and the determination taken to move together.
Thus was the whole machinery ready to operate, pro-
vided defection could be kepi from its parts. And
until this were effected, Mr. Clay's course was but
of conjecture. If judgement and sound deli-
'- oration, promoted him to adopt the preference be
r '-d. ce: low, that duty demanded

of him this grave and formal exercise of his influence,
w ,ere! ' utrolled the opinions and votes of

others. Resting on this ground of decision merely,
apart from any other, and future consideration, such
ictivo zeal was forbidden by the situation in which he
himself had very lately stood, and more especially
rorn the personal relation which he, and Mr. Adams-
had recently occupied towards each other.

The course adopted by Mr. Clay, in roferonco to this
election, and the circumstances attending it at the
time, were then as now the subject of freeand censu-
rablo remark. The final consummation though,did not
tor a time take place. Many, incredulous to mere-
assertion, and anxious to maintain their former favor-
able opinions, weie willing and disposed, to defer ail
credence until after the Inauguration, and when it
should with certainty be ascertained, whother Mr,
Clay would be appointed to the rirst situation in the
^ net. I lie nomination came! It was submitted
to the Senate. a vote taken, ry to what

before, I believe, had ever happened, in reference to a
Cabinet Appointment, a large number of that body
(one third) were found in opposition to it. Besides those
there were others, unfriendly to the confirmation, but
who yielded their assent on the ground, that the Pre-
sident was amenable to the country, for a correct ad-
ministration of its affairs; and that tho immemorial
usage of the Sonate, had conceded him the right to
select his Cabinet agreeebly to his own wishes.lt was
aid, if the Senate shall refuse their assent, and future
mishaps arise, a strong defenco to the Executive,
would be afforded and the President be enabled to say
the Senate opposed mo, and denied a right hereto-
fore never withheld, the right of obtaining that assis-
tance in which I had confidence,and which, it was my
desire and object to procure. That the nomination
though, was silently voted on, and nothing said re-
specting it, is not correct. A Senator in his place.ad-
dressed the chair opposed a confirmation and pre-
sented tho reasons, of his Objections, which wore en-
tirely in roferenceto Mr. Clay's course and conduct
on the Presidential election. I shall not use his name
nor attempt to quote his remarks, although the injunc-
tion of secrecy has been long since removed, I well
remember tho', that the tiamo of this Senator, and
what he had done, and what said, were spoken of at
the time publicly; and 1 well remember too, that no
reply to him, was made or attempted, or,committce of
enquiry asked for. After he had taken his seat, the
nomination was voted on, and carried, and tho ap-
point merit confirmed. I know not what friend or mem-
brded Mr. Clay the informal ion that his nomi-
nation was not objected to in the Senate ; But I do
know, that he made an incorrect roport.

1!" after I perusal of what is here written, thero shall
be any, disposed to maintain, that a statement, sim-
ply, of Mr. Buchanan's conversation, is ail that was
try, or propoc to be presented; and that 1 should
have gone no farther, this is my answer. It is a public,
matter, and one about which the country has mani-
fested deep eolicitudo : it was right thenco to speak
what I know. But besides this, Mr. Clay without
regard to others 1 feelings, or concern for tho injustice
be might be doing, has undertaken to hold to* bofore
the public, by representing, that I had sustained a pa-
per for the avowed object of assailing his motives, and
detering him in the exercise of his duty, for thus it
seems to be read: a noble vocation indeed ! Why do
I i i a < I not interfered to interrupt Mr. Clay's re-
I had written no letter to Mr. Carter Beverly;
and far as he then bad knowledge,bad spoken nothing
of, or concerning h-im. No reasonable man then, can

Majority for Mr. Johns r>'J.7

Dr. Young, one of the representatives elect in ooi
from Kentucky, died on tin: 19th ult.

It will be recollected that there was a tie last October in
thai part of the city of Philadelphia which forms a coit-
al district, between Mr. Sergeant and Mr. Horn.
A new election was held last Tuesday, Mr. Sergeant be-
ing opposed by Mr. Hemphill, the 'Jackson candidate.'
The result was, for Mr. Sergeant '2702, for Mr. Hemphill
2546 majority for Mr. Sergeant 156. The opposing
candidates were certainly two ofthe strongest and ablest
men that could have been put up by the different parties
both of honorable standing, and highly esteemed.

In the pn rted that Messrs.

pkins, of N Ewing,

ofOhi tacky, Spra issachu-

nsylvania, l of Vir-

. and Paine, of Vermont,
.ittee to draft an address to
the people < d States, in behalf of the ge-

i-onvention assembled at Harrisburg, on the
ition of the Pennsylvania Society for the
promotion of manufactures and the mechanic arts.
When the committee was raised, it was expected
e address would be forthwith prepared, and
laid before the convention for its approbation; but
after free and frequent communications between the
members of the committee, it became manifest that
the duty assigned them could not be performed in a
'tory manner during the probable period to
which the sittings of the convention would be ex-
tended; and besides, the various papers or docu-
ments, reports of other committees, and a copy of
ihe intended memorial to congress, were not acted
upon until a very late hour, and, of course, not in
possession to guide or instruct this committee. And,
as these things were considered, and the subject in
general examined, their views became more and
more expanded, as to the plan of the address and the
matters which ought to be set forth before the peo-
ple ar.d it was agreed that the important statistical
facts and useful information which had been elicit-
ed in the various public discussions and proceedings,
and friendly communications between the members,
should be, as far as possible, preserved, and other
like or corroborative facts be collected and publish-
ed for general instruction, to shew the principle and
practical operation of the protection afforded to the
domestic industry of the country. With this con-
clusion, it was rendered certain that several weeks
of calm consideration and earnest research, would
be necessary to give effect to the designs of the com-
mittee; andhence they offered the brief report insert-
ed in the journal, and asked time to prepare the ad-
dress, as is stated in the resolutions which accom-
panied that report.

The committee then further considered the sub-
ject at large, and seemed generally agreed as to the
manner of the address, and charged the chairman
' l c task of collecting, arranging and preparing
the matter, though he himself would gladly have
nor to more than one of his distin-
ics, and with entire confidence in
their better ability to accomplish the wishes of the
convention, and follow ihe instruction of the commit-
tee. The chairman then found himself plarcd in a
responsible situation, for, though the harmony
ef design in the address might be preserved, it was
.not practicable to obtain the advice and assistance
of the other members, dispc rsed in eight different
It was with no small degree of anxiety, ap-
proaching to fear, that the chairman proceeded to
the performance of the duly assigned, and it is with
much diffidence that he now presents the results of
his labors to the people, in the name of the commit-
tee and on behalf of the convention. He has been
beset with difficulties from the beginning, which no
other than a writer on statistics can at all appreciate;
lor, except as to the boundaries of our country, the
lumberings of the people at the several ceususses,

exports and imports, there is little of an official or na-
tional character to appeal to, when one would speak
of the resources or the wants of our country Hence
.icrsed condition of facts, and the liability to
error hence, the perpetually enlarging views and
constai, 1 of new matter, the interlocking;

of things with things, supported by and supporting
one another altogether sufficient to intimidate al-
most any man, zealous to sustain principles approv-
ed, and resolute in searching after truth, which has
been aimed at, though it would be presumptuous to
suppose that, in making more than ten thousand refer-
ences, mistakes as to facts, or clerical errors, have not
been committed, in a first general collection like that
now offered to the public which is also diffusive and
desultory, and would have required much additional
time to have been digested and prepared, in the man-
ner best suited to exhibit the force of the numerous
items which bear upon the great matter under consi-
deration to wit, the necessity and expediency of
protecting the domestic industry; and more undis-
turbed reflection than it has been within the power of
the chairman of the committee to bestow, perpetu-
ally called off to other and personal concerns, irre-
sistibly demanding attention.

One word upon the manner of preparing the work.
It was thought expedient to throw into the address (pro-
perly so called), only general arguments in favor cf
the measures recommended by the convention, leav-
ing the facts, or practical statements which might
support them, to be referred to in an apptndix: by
this proceeding, the first is divested of the tedious-
ness of detail, and the last may be used for the sim-
ple support of propositions advanced to the relief
of the reader, and, perhaps, a better understanding
of the subjects offered to the reason of the people.

So far, by way of explanation, the writer in justice
to the convention, his particular colleagues and him-
self, has thought it proper to go. Earnest investig^p-
tion is invited, and there is no desire to avert libe-
ral criticism, either on facts or opinions feeling
conscious that they are honestly presented, and be-
ing blessed with a disposition tw acknowledge wrong
when informed of error, with that frankness and
courtesy which should exist among gentlemen, zeal-
ous for the good of their country, though radically dif-
fering as to the best means of promoting the general
welfare.

ADDRESS.
The ever-restless thirst for knowledge in man,
leads him to measurements of the volumes of waters
discharged by the rivers, to the weighing, as it were in
a balance, the Alps and the Andes, to an establishment
of the courses of the planets, and a determination
of the eccentric ranges of comets through the im-
mensity of space, as though he would guage space
itself, and reduce it to human ideas of the extent of
matter and yet the study of Mviself, the ascertain-
ment of those qualities given to render himself and
his fellow men happy, are fatally neglected, and the
capacities of the human race, to walk erect, the
image of God, arc chiefly given up to the warm vi-
sions of speculators, or cold calculations of tyrants
and masters: to the former, to indulge some pretty
theory, or beautiful notion, fitted to other condi-
tions and circumstances of society and to the last,
that it may be counted how many must be slaughter-
ed to win a battle in the field, or how great burthens
man can bear and still exist to labor, and groan out
"a weary life of servitude and shame." Practical
effects arc less regarded by those philosophers than
the pleasantries of fancy; and tyrants meastlre men
by a common standard like Procrustes, and with a
simple view to ascertain the uses which can be matte
of them, to forward ambition, gratify 1 list, feed
prodigality, or administer to the cravings of avarice.

NTLES' REGISTEROCTOBER IS, 1*2T HARRISBURG UJMEYfioX. io!

Ncnv and then, an enlightened ruler appears, and
exerts himself to ameliorate the condition of his
people, to make his slaves more comfortable; but
the imposition of new burthens always treads upon
the heels of improvement, and it remains a matter
of doubt, in numerous cases, whether good or evil
predominates as, what is called, civilization pro-
ceeds.

But man, in this republic, is placed under differ-
ent circumstances. It is the genius of our institu-
tions that he should stand erect, cast his
wards the sun, and acknowledge no soven <
the Dread Sovereign of universal nature the At -
tuor and preserver of all things. Under htm, and
ly, he ordains and establishes rules for him-
self; and improvements of hi condition are fol-
lowed by unalloyed benefits. His accumulations
of private weal- to the public treasury

nd he is not a simple pioneer
for the happiness of others. It is true, that he of-
<en does, or suffers wrong to be done, that he is
I by prejudice or whirled away by party, and
ts by his feelings that reason would for-
bid lill his aim is private prosperity and public
honor, an exaltation of his own character, and an
advancement of I nd glory of his country.

The manner best suited to accomplish these
tfal and supreme purposes of all civil associations, is
:* fair and proper subject for discussion "at the bar of
the public reason;" and, as the human mind is instruct-
ed, it follows that persons may differ in opinion and
till be friends and a disposition to ascertain truth
uraged. Thus proceeding, the majority will
t the wishes of the minority, and possess a
of conciliation; and the latter more cheerful-
ly accept the decisions of that which must be the
ing principle under every republican system;
ns, when conducted with
tful forbearance and mutual respect, arc al-
ways calculated to improve the judgment and amend
the heart.
