luiiiwir ' iwm. Constitution alist. AUGUSTA : FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1825. The Intelligencer asserts that the ap pointment of Mr. Ring, as Minister to Great Britain, lias been “ an act of fear less independence” on the part of the Pro . sident. We are not sure that we clearly understand this. If a pressing necessity dictated the choice of Mi’. Ring—if unpo pular as he is known to be, nobody else can perform the high duties of tiie mission, then the President has a right to claim the merit, of independence and fearlessness too. TJut if Mr. Adams knew that there were fifty others—we speak within bounds—in and out of New-York, of equal ability and more approved by the people, then the choice of Mr. K,. looks very much like “ flying in face” of his master —the people. \V e like “ .fearless independence,” and this conduct i f the Executive may be consider ed in the fashionable circles of Washing ton as deserving that character, but to us at a distance from the Court, it wears the aspect of—as Mardcastle says —“ old fash ioned impudence.* 1 It was not our inten tion again to touch upon this subject, for so far from desiring to find fault with the ad ministration, we are anxious to do justice to the President, and the more so—because he was not our favorite candidate—but the queer apology put forth by the Intelligen cer, appeared to us worthy of a passing re mark. For the rest —the two grounds of objection to the appointment are well stat ed in the following words : “ Mr. K. liny been too long;, too actively, and too decidedly en gaged in j'Ublic life, not to b ive been exposed to the hazard of 'l'ceuining politically obnoxious to some, even of those who en tertain tor bun the greatest possible personal respect. Mis having been .in uniform h eJeraiist, and, for a Considerable ime, the ac knowledged head of liial parly, will onslitute with some portion es those, who have been on this score heretoloi*U opposed to him, an objection to his appointment. Until sslroin the association of the name of Mr. K. with the Missouri question, which so much agitated the country a few years ago, in connection with the motion which he laid on the table of thy Senate at the late session, on the subject of ihe • x istence ot a certain evil in the community, that we am mi pate the greatest obj cti nto Ins appointment. H«w far this feeling to wards him may extend, or bow strung it may be. we cannot say. We are aware, however, of its existence in sufficient extent to produce dissatisfaction, in the Southern Slates at least, wher ever there is not a predisposition to be gratified with the acts of the Executive. If the objection to iVlr. K. on this ground he, prejudice, it is a prejudice resulting from deep conviction, uni ted will) strong feeling;, upon a point wherein the peopie of the South have some right to be sensitive.” The Cotton Mvrket. —’Die price of Cotton varies from 21 to 27 cents, but the sales are dull in consequence of the want of money, and the sanguine expectations of the holders o( the article—dealers are anxiously looking for further accounts from Europe. At a meeting of toe citizens of Augusta, held at the City Hall, ou Wednesday even ing the 4ih mst. for the purpose of receiving the report of a committee appointed at a fir mer meeting to correspond with the Board of Directors of the Btuk of Darien. A. Slaughter was called to l fie .chair, and Thom as Me. Gran appointed Secretary. The Com mittee having submitted their corresptm deuce with the Bank, the following resolu tions were considered and adopted : Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet ing the bills of the bank of Darien rest on a solid foundation for their redemption, with out taking into consideration, the deep in terest which the state of Georgia has in that institution, both as a large stockholder, and holder of its bills, and that the indulgence required by those of its debtors who suffer-: ed by the memorable calamity of last Sep tember, constitutes the best excuse which can ever be given tor not being in a situa tion to redeem them with specie as soon ;.s presented. i Resolved, That this meeting have full confidence in thedisposition which die Pre sident and Directors of the bank of Darien, have now evinced, and in the means which that institution it is believed, will soon pos- to place Its credit on the same fooling as that of the other chartered banks of the state of Georgia. Resolved, t’hat the thanks of this meeting be tendered to the President and Dm dors of the bank of Darien, for the prompt, frank and lucid replies which they have given to the inquiries of a committee appointed at a former meeting. Resolved, That these resolutions together with tlie statement of the situation of the Darien Bank, on which they are principally founded be published in both the newspapers *)f this city. A.

V\ ho can 1 Know this and calumniate the character of* Mr. Crawford ? [TV. J. Herald. Mr. Bukge, SIR—I had not supposed iat ei'her nations or individuals would, it this time, attempt to lay claims to the invention of Steam-Baths, but Philoput ria, in your last Const! ulionalist, and a Mr. VVhitlaw, in some of the late Charles ton papers, have convinced me of my er ror; for, whilst the former claims that in vention fir the neighbourhood of tins city, the latter, very modestly, claims it for him self. Unfortunately for both, it requires very little acquaintance with ancient and modern history to know that these b.iths were, in old times, used in Egypt, Greece and Borne ; that they have since been found among several nations and are now quite .common in Turkey, Russia and India [The inhabitants ot some parts of Africa have always been known to cure many dis orders by their use, and iam credibly informed that eomthe Indians of this coun -1 try were and arc acquainted with this in fallible method of curing the Rheumatism, and pains of every description, which their mode of living must subject them to. Phi lopatria’s claim is therefore inadmissible, and Mr. Whidavv does not stand upon bet ter ground ; for, surely, that gentleman cannot seriously pretend to be the first who .ever thought of curing diseases with the jlumes ot medical herbs, or steam impreg nated with them. Let him open any of the 'old authors and he will find formulas for fumigation, composed with plants, highly, , and otten deservedly, recommended. It . was only when chymical preparations took . the place of the more simple remedies na -1 ture stores f>,r us, that plants were almost entirely set aside in England, (and thence in this country) although the rest of the continent of Europe continues to use them . to a great exu-nt. , In Botiiqidrle’s time Dr. Gale of Paris, , thought of confining the fumes of Sulphur, t ami from that moment the cure of the Itch, ■Scabb es, and even Leprosy also became in -1 (fallible, —Chlorine was next tried, and Li j'ver complaints generally yielded to it.—ln . short, the impulse, being given, every Gai . w’ ts thought of and applied in different ca , ses, without atn buly, that I,know of, huv . ing claimed the thought for a new inyen- I (ion. I therefore maintain that the na'me i "1 the first inventor of Steam Baths has . been, for ages, hurried in oblivion. But 1 . perfectly agree with Philopatria in pro claiming (heir usefulness. This Ido from I personal knowledge j and having witnessed . astonishing cures performed at Dr, lleil bron’s establishment in Charleston, and J)r. Feriene’s in New Orleans, I doubt not that Dr, Houel’s will be as successful in Au ’ gusta. 3 I’here is an Anecdote concerning the . late Emperor of France, which would seem i» give him a title to an invention, concern . ing vapour baths, fairer than that claimed by Philopatria, or even Mr. Whitlaw. A regiment, was to a man, infected with , the Itch, caught in Egypt and brought to I France, nointpuri t wanted that regiment B for immediate duty The physicians of the army represei tr* 1 1° him the danger of inarching rha's'iu n their p esent silua t-on.

I am sir, your most obedient, PHILO JUSTICE, From the Norfolk (Vn ) Herald, April 18. Mr. Editor —I am told that at our elec tions for Delegates, the candidates have in some (I hope very few) instances so far forgot what was due to their own characters and to the moral welfare of society, as to seek to influence the votes of (he electois by dis tributing liquor at the tavern bars, to alt who might vote for (hem—in other words, attempting to buy votes at the rate of half a gallon of rum or applejack per dozen, or the privilege, per single one, of getting glori ously corned without pay—Now 1 say, the candidate who would resort to such despi-j cable means to aid his election, proves by die very act that In is undeservingof public respect ami confidence. Hit were possible (and God forbid it should he!) that there could be as many tipplers and rum suckers m a county capable of selling their glorious bit th-right foi a glass of grog, as would carry the election of a candidate against the sens-e of the sober part of the community, all I can -ay is, lie might be their representative, hut ceituinly never should be mine.
