Ask Mr. Uullcr—the/aemor, I mean the pretent Attorney General of the llni ini Ktalcs lilt Nrplumhci —whether this is not the true definition; and Mr. Duller is certainly the best expounder of constitutional law we have ever had in this country.

Thus Inking from the weak and adding to the strong. With tins sla’e of 1 thing-, the Smith never need hope to burst the litters, which now hind her to Iho North—-villi this scheme in operation, wo would daily be j come less able to rise from our bondage, and i less able to resist tins imposition of now fol | tern. I Mr. Calhoun admitted in Congress, that in . 1 the outset, tin; Hub-Treasury would be injii i rinus to the Month, but would reauli in our (a-* : vor hereafter, because it. would induce ns to ,' become our own importers. Let us not adopt , I a present corse, that future good may come of r i it ; it is worse Ilian folly ; nny, it is madness. Tim goods of dm importers, and dm fabrics of I dm Noiib, will be sold to our merchants. I’oy- J nients will he demanded in such away, as wdl j most conduce to Northern interest. As much ot , j our cotton as they lind it profitable to hoy, wdl I be taken by ihcin, and the balance wid be requi red in specie, for home use, or In such high ex 1 change, that the merchants must [cut down all lb< ir pioflts, or cease business; they will not cease business, because diey will charge die exchange to their customers, and dm funnels at length will have ll to pay. Il will be to the interest ot the North to pursue this policy, and it will he pursu ed without our seeming to led it, or know il. They will adopt die policy, because they wdl make largo prelils by cxcbaligi; II not in that way, the specie will be useful lo add to dmlrcnpi, tal annually, and as their cveullli increases, so will ns capacity for increase become greater, by in creasing dm specie capital of their Hanks, and giving them grimier credit nnd consequently more facilities, by which they will be dm better able, through agencies situated among us, to cripple our own Hanks, engross die entire exchange, and o'a tin dm whole control of our monied allairs. The specie in our nan Hanks, will always be the subject of a scramble between the Nordi nnd South, and being the weaker, \vc must always yield. We may be replied to, dial we Cull avoid all Ibis by making dlicct importations to thoMotHh. That is dm argument, but die fact is ditleienf. ( The Saudi con never sustain herself unless -j she has olhei patronage than her own. This she can never got, or gel her own, until she pre sents unpeiior inducements over die Nordi, lu di ■ c vert a Unde, which now goes there, because, il is ils natural channel, and because it always went there. This she can mixer do, until she can oh. lain confidence, which w ill never he. obtained, un til she lias sustained hertelf. Ought wc lo adopt n policy which makes the tSoulh weaker, nnd the " North strong!r! Never. Mi. Van Huron, fol- I. lowing up the dictates of Ids selfish nature, acting p for himself alone, the first act ot Ins official file, () is lo build up tho North and East, and sacrifice the Mon ih. * Suppose he succeeds in Ids policy, what dis- I trees would follow ils establishment in dm South! « Let him but succeed in destroying the credit sys. tem, and who can cuunkt be numberless ills to which we must lie subjee cd! To make Ids sys- lent equal, bo must make the currency alike for p all; if not, it is unjust, and unrighteous.—ls l made equal, all credit must be abolished; and in s pioporlion ns bo approaches iris object, in that proportion will ho destroy nil credit. With lire ( poorer classes of society at the North, no incon- 1 venience would lie tell, because laboring in Far. I lories, they would lie paid their wages daily, or weekly; but with Iho poorer classes bote, who only receive the iest.ll of their labor when they gather ilieir crops, and rely upon their credit while these are growing lo buy ilieir family no. ressnries, the case is very different. Hut lake dial from them, and bow many ball led, half clothed children, would stroll in distress, through our land! It is lamenlablo, dial Mr. Van Huron in his policy, only looks lo (hose who have power to help i I him by their inlluonre. He tickles such, because j | they cun tickle him in turn. We may lie told, that if such things happen, j | we fan shake them oil; hut ibis is not so; n is 1 j easier to resist the putting on of the yoke, than lo shako il off, when riveted. Had vie resisted the Tariff at Iho outset, we would have bail no d dictdly with it, but having yielded lo il at the beginning, it soon betaine a mountain too heavy Iti im moved; il was forever gaining strength, ami we losing strength.

Said Stripling is about thirty years nt age, five feet ten inches high, well made, fair complexion, light hair and blue eyes, sharp fea tures, prominent, full mouth and while teeth, fond of gambling and brags much of his man- , hood. , Gen.

Ho has beenie ceivedwith warm-hearted hospitality, and every facility has been tendered to him for accomplish- j ing the object of his visit. Health of the Cities. The number of deaths in New York during the week ending on the 18th inst. was 187—5 less than the previous week. In Philadelphia, the number of deaths were 145, being 46 less than the preceding week.

I Front our Correspomlent. Washington, Aug. 23, ISHB. I The intelligence brought by the Southern Ex- j press Mail, that the special election in Alabama, j ( lor a member of Congress, to fill tho place of the j lamented Mr. Lavvleu, lias resulted in tho tri- I . « nmphant success of the Whig candidate, General ( Eita a a ; has quite disappointed the Loco Focos. j This is another instance, I suppose, of their boast- | ml reactions ! Tho author of tho infamous attack on the j Navy, will not he allowed to screen himsell from j public indignation much longer. It is well known that tho editorials of tho Globe are tarnished by J t several hands; all the writing talent in the Exe cutive Department being nt ilifferonl limes called into requisition, in order to till the columns of ; that paper. Some of these official scribblers are j growing restive under the comments of the hide- j pendent presses, and anxious that the author of j tho outrage should avow himself, and relieve 1 them of any share of the reproach and odium, . I have not a doubt that Amos KusiiALtis the [ writer. The Globe has denied that the Secretary \ of the Navy had any hand in the, manufacture j j or publication of the libel ; and the Albany Ar gus says, the official editor was not even accessory | to either act. Whoever the skulking calumnia. I [ tor is, he shall not he allowed to remain concealed I'hc officers of the Navy, and the public, have" 1 j a right to know his name, and they will not rest i till he is discovered and exposed. Ihe President and Mr. Poinsett will not return from the Virginia Springs fur a fortnight. The Loco Foco papers in the Old Dominion, and elsewhere, are filled with the most circumstantial and absurd accounts of Mr. Van Bpiien’s pro. gross to the springs, and high llown encomiums on the ahsconce of parade and pomp from his dress and equipage, and of airs and arrogance from his deportment. The Richmond Enquirer is making ilsell rediculous in this way. The editor had heller inform us, whether tho Presi dent lakes off Ins night cap when ho pels out of bed; whether bo uses warm water in shaving, and lays on tho otJinary quantity of lather, and blows out sometimes one cheek and sometimes the other, to present a better surface to the razor. It is said he sometimes eats eggs for breakfast, and that they are generally those of tho common domestic fowl, and that he reads a newspaper after breakfast—the favorite being the Richmond Enquirer ; while reading it ho frequently stretch es himself out and yawns or says pshaw. The President, 1 am crediUy informed, wears a hat on his head, and gloves ov, his hands, whenever Ihe goes out—and when acquaintance and friends | salute him, such is his affability i[ ul e p[j Cr bows, touches his hat, or recognizes their ctvili. lies in some way or other!

Judge then the deep chagrin with which 1 I have been filled, upon learning that’llie young 1 j men who throng her streets, and upon whom she j looks with u nm.ernal complacency, are pursuing j a course which will prove iterrimental to her best j I interests. In saying this, fdo not wish to be j ; understood as declaring that strictly speaking, our I younger citizens arc so far lost to every generous | and noble feeling, as to indulge in the grosser | ! passions and obscenities, doubly culpable on ac- j count of the pernicious effect received ; hut I do j mean to say, that many and useful moans are j permitted to pass away, which if used in the I proper place and in the proper lime, might ulli- j inalely he ol benefit lo all classes of the com-' j niunity. The principle object of (bis, is lobe informed whether there are any literary associations in Augusta, and if not, what are the causes'! I have been told that probably there was not a single association of the kind. But why is it thus ! Why is it that the young men of Geor- j gin, and particularly of Augusta, arc so fat behind those of other cities throughout the Union ! Why is it that we have to beat the burning to j proacb, that our young men possess not that j energy of character, without which the most ' splendid scheme fails! Why is it that the pass ing stranger is forced to shod a tear at beholding the great contiast between the outward and in terior beauties of our city ! Is there no genius in Augusta ? Is there no spirit amongst her citi zens ! Or rather, does not the gicat thirst afle vain and fleeting pleasures absorb every other object in view ! I fear that this latter supposi tion is 100 correct; for certainly the example of those who have been swept from the things that are, on account of their sluggish indolence, can J have hi charms for citizens whose ancestors 1 nobly stood up in Iho good cause of human lib erly. A debating society, literary in its nature and design—totally free from the jarring broils attendant on the scenes of party strife, which ever and anon spring up to check our inarch (o fame and renown, should ho established in Au gusta, under the designation of the Augusta Literary Debating Society, or any other suitable and appropriate name. Why, lock at George town, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, New 'fork, and numerous other cities—look, and the first thing which will take your attention, will he the wonderful advancement made hy the youth ful votaries of eloquence and literature —shall we lag and falter! Shall we be behind our sister c'ties ! Shall the old men of Augusta bo compelled so gaze upon their sons making ad vancement in l.be low asid paltry artifices of the world, without attempting to lake that station lo which-lhcir natural endowments entitle them ! I ■ i j Forbid it heaven ! If (here is any example | wanting, let mo point them to Henry Clay, Ihe j great American orator, who first shone with traiisccmbmt brightness, in the humble station oi j a youth) ul debater. Let his fame lire them with I an honorable ambition, lo reach, if possible, the | height of eminence and renown, and let the | example id" all our great men—of our Webstors, Calhouns, Prestons, Ewings, and a host of oth- I ers, serve as a stimulus to excite them to deeds of worth and real benefit. There is no better I means to accomplish the grand object, education, to which their whole time should he given, than lo establish a literary debating society. Let such a society he once raised—let Ihe principles upon which it should be based, he onco understood, and my word for it, the brghtost minds would rise up from obscurity—the latent energies of many, who are precluded these advantages, would bo developed, and Augusta, and the citizens of Au gusta, would rest safe in Ihe consciousness lha l those young men who were formerly accustomed In lounge around the gambling table, have chang ed their ways, and arc in pursuit of these two imperishable blessings, education and literature.

Tlie undersigned have seen that u meeting of the citizens of Lauderdale county was held on i | the 14th ult., which appointed delegates lo the | Huntsville Convention, and that the citizens of Limestone, Jackson, and Morgan are about to hold meetings (or the same purpose. They there- i | fore believe there is little or no doubt that the j proposed Convention will be held, composed of | i delegates from most if not nil of the counties in j ; North Alabama; —forming an assembly ot the oU | I deal and must respectable inhabitants of the conn- , I try, whose influence, it is believed, will have the I I effect of awakening public attention to these im» ! I porlanl interests, and ullima'oly obtain the desi- i red amelioration and improvement of the conn- | i try. It is hoped that the citizens of all the conn- j j ties, both in Tennessee and South Alabama, in- ; ! tercsted in those matters, will unite with those ah : teady mentioned, and send delegates to llio Con., ■ vemion, that harmony in the objects and union j i in action may characterize its proceedings. The anticipated benefits arc neither of U tempo rary nor a local nature, hut on the cotitraiy, it successful, will ensure the permanent welfare nl the whole country. The specific objects ate to devise means for removing the ohslruc.ions to the navigation of the Tennessee river from its mouth j to Knoxville, the extension and completion of : the Railroad from Tuseumhia to Memphis, and ! also that from Selma lo Gunter’s L Hiding on the Tennessee.—There may he other works submitted lo the consideration of the Convention, hut these ' being already begun and intimately connected with each other, will more probably, all ho em braced in one general scheme of improvement, { and dependent upon one common fund for the | execution of the whole. Such, at least, are the j views and wishes of the undersigned, but the ul j lirnalc action must rest with the Convention. It j is, therefore, highly necessary that each of these works Lo lutly represented in the Conveniion, and that delegates he provided with such facts and 1 statistical dentils as respects the cost of execu j lion and estimate of profits, as will enable the j Convention to make an application for Legisla tive aid. As lo the practicability of accomplishing these | improvements, the undersigned firmly believe that nothing more is neccssaty than lo convince the People of its just importance and lo awaken their attention to it, to ensure success. The works alluded 10, have been commenced, hut remain unfinished for the want of the necessary means. The Slates of Georgia and South Carolina ate energetically engaged in extending their railroads in the direction of Tennessee river, and will very soon complete them, tapping that stream at ihlfjr ent points. This routo will then he the most di rect lo the Atlantic, not only for the People of ' North Alabama and Tennessee,but for Kentucky, [ Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, Arkansas, j Louisiana, <Sic. Remove the obstructions lo the | navigation of Tennessee river, lo a point where I the Georgia railroad intersects it, anil this will be ] the most direct, the easiest, and the cheapest chan. j ncl of trade and travel for a country capable ol sustaining many millions of inhabitants. During the winter season, especially, a traveller from Louisville, Ky., or St. Louis, would descend to Memphis, thence take the railroad to Decatur at the head of the Muscle Shoals, thence by the river to the intersection of the Georgia railroad, which would lake him via Augusta to Charleston, where there are two ot three routes to the great Commercial Metropolis. At other seasons of the I year, a very large portion of the travellers from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas, would most naturally lake this route as the most direct, spec dy, and convenient. —The Georgia road is in ra. pid progression, and will certainly he finished— the road from Memphis has been began, and only needs assurance of its extension in Alabama lo ensure its completion: With these observations, the undersigned sub mit the subject to your calm deliberation, in the full persuasion that nothing further is wanting lo obtain the necessary aid to effect the important improvements herein suggested, than the zealous co-operation of the spirited and enterprising ci'i zens of llio counties most deeply interested in thorn. They will indulge the hope that many ot the counli s in East, Middle, and West Tennes see will take part in the deliberations of the Huntsville Convention; and, when the plans are fully settled upon, they will unite in application to the Legislature of that Slate for the *roi|uisile aid; —also, they would he highly gratified by the participation Os Georgia in the Convention,, as much additional light might thereby be thrown upon the condition of the roads now progressing in that direction. In lieu of a letter sheet impression, the under signed have taken the liberty of addressing lo you a copy of tiro Southern Advocate containing this Circular, and, also, another valuable article on the success of the Internal Improvement policy of *ho State of New V’ork, which they hope will he found worthy of perusal. SILAS PARSONS, JOHN BOARDMAN, SAMUEL PEETE, THOMAS FEARN, JAS. J. PLEASANTS. IHr the Chronicle <J- Sentinel. Mb Edith it —The enclosed appeal ofa Ca nadian Patriot to the American people, taken from the “Ohio Statesman” of the 4th inst., I send you for republication in your paper, should you think it worthy ofthe same, A SUBSCRIBER. As almost every paper I take up has an arti cle against “tlie Canada Pirates”—‘‘the bor der Buccanneers”—or “the ungrateful Cana than refugees.” will you permit me to appeal to lire American public, through your paper in vindication of our conduct. lam a stran ger here, and shall be in town but just long enough to prepare litis article—l cannot ex. pect, therefore, to lay before the public, in a single communication, all the grievances of winch we complain, for they are many—but a few of the more prominent, and leave it for lan enlightened people to say whether our j complaints are well founded, or whether we j arc ungrateful, rebellious subjects. The people of Canada complain of the man ner of appointing the Executive, as well as of the power conferred upon him. lie is appoin ted by lire Crown, and wholly irresponsible to [ the people. He can be, and the present Gov ernor is, clothed with absolute power—Not a j fut-kish Sultan has more. He can declare war, and make peace ; lie can suspend the j Habe is Corpus, and annul the constitution; he can supercede the civil by the military law; ! he can dispense with juries and substitute a j drumhead court martial; he can hang, as did j George Arthur, or banish as does Lord Dur. ham. Life, or death—liberty or slavei-v, are suspended on his .will. If he is dissatisfied | with the acts of the legislature, lie can veto | them, if the legislature displeases him, lie can j dissolve them; if a majority of the voters are opposed to him, he can destroy their influence by issuing Patents for Crown lands to those I who will do his bidding—thus making free hold voters sufficient to carry the elections in spite of tlie people. All oilier measures have been resorted to within a few years, to give absolute sway to the Governor.' The Executive council is another cause of complaint to the people of Canada. This council is usually composed of three persons, selected by the Governor, as his advisers, and of course arc irresponsible to tlie people. The Legislative comic.l is another cense of complaint « itlij the people. I his consists of an indefinite number of persons, appointed by | Tlie Crown, and hwffrheir office during life, or the Queen’s pleasure.— They, of course', I are wholly independent of the people, but | are directly dependant on the Crown. Servile loyally is the tenure by which they hold their offices—yet these are the law makers of Cana- I da. Trie qualification requited to constitute a voter, and the mode of casting votes is anoth |or cause of complaint. None but freeholders arq allowed to vote, and they vote viva voce, so that the Government knows the politics of ev | ery voter. Does a nun dare to vote against i he Government candidate, lie is huntetTdown i and persecuted, and if in office is at once dis missed. It an important measure is to be j carried by Government, and it finds a majority j of the people against it, the Governor issues I Ins IVmils tor an acre of land in perhaps a ■ dozen parishes ton single individual who he knows will vote his measures, and that enti -1 lies him to as many votes as there are districts iin which ho owns property. Two thousand i voters were thus created at a single election, ■ at I he commencement of the present troubles in Co i a, lor the purpose of giving Ihe Gov enuir i party a majority. The public lands ;re ilnr ipeipy given to buy freeholders to i support the iniquitous measures ot iho Gov i ernor. This makes the legislative branch— tiic only one in which ihe people have the semblance of a voice—-a mere larcc. If the people vole for such persons as the Governor wishes, it is ail well—if not, lie neutralizes their will by creating a temporary batch of tory freeholders for the occasion. The Clergy reserves another cause of com plaint. Uhc seventh of the surveyed land is reserved lor the use of tlie Clergy, which con., traded by the Governor, makes ilium more j zealous fur tlie Crown, and opposed to tbs people. The appointment of all officers, below the | Governor is another source of complaint Judges, Justices, Coroners, Constables, and i Sheriffs are appointed by the Governor, and are generally broken down half pay military | officers, whose only qualification is Servile i subserviency to the Crown. The selection of jurors is another cause of complaint. They are selected by the Sheriff and packed by him to answer the ends of Gov ernment. In Sta'c trials they are no butter than Durham’s court-martials. Their verdict is a polite way of making known to a prison er the intentions ot Government towards him. Huch are a few, and only a few of the gr ev ances of which the Canadian people com plain;—compared with which the grievances of the American coliniesin 1776 were but a cipher—yet wo are called Pirates and BitC' canneers, mid Lake Robbers for asserting our rights. True, wo have been unfortunate—wo wore disarmed before thu contest began —wo had to contend against regular soldiers, well V|f armed and disciplined, while we were nrorrtn j ed, without discipline, starving, and frozen,- Did wo remain in Canada ? We must freeze, or starve,or be hung; Did l we coma i into a neutral country for arms and amutii- I tion —not only we, but our friends were pros j ccuied, and imprisoned—our names branded i with infamy, and our cause chrislined Piracy. 1 JJut it. is said that Lord Durham lias taken* an amicable course, calculated to restore quiel! Calculated to restore quiet? It is a firebrand. Us all dishonorable acta this is the one pre eminent. Does Cord Durham suppose that a Patriot will ever ea«sc hostility while twenty four of his bravo leaders are excluded from the country ?—What American, in ’76 would have accepted of a pension from which Washing ton was excluded ! What was the course of the Americans when a general amnesty was offered to all except John Adams, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock? They spurned it, us do iho Canadians, Durham’s hill of am nesty. No—the Canadians have sworn on tlr; allar of their God, that they will never i cease hostility until they have achieved their j undertaking. How many more must hang or i be banished I know not—how little sympathy I from the world we may expect I know not • | but with my brave compatriots I am determin | ed to die an honorable death contending for | freedom, rather than accept a dishonorable, pardon at the hands ofonr oppressor, i Columbus, July 80, 1838. B. North-Cnroiiua Election. ’l’m; Kbsult.—No one can now question our right to rejoice over the regeneration of our belov ed Slate. North Carolina has arrayed herself along side of Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut. New Vork, Virginia, Louisiana, Mississippi, all of which have abandoned the administration since it cams into power less than 18 months ago. Af ter a struggle in which parly lines have been more decidedly drawn than in any previous elec tion ever held hi North Carolina, ihe Whigs have triumphed, having elected their Governor, by an overwhelming majority, and a handsome majority in each House of the Legislature. In the Senate we have 27 to 23 a majority of 5; and in the f | House, 04 to 64, a majority of 10. On joint ballot a majority of 15. 1 Senator and 3 Com moners to be heard from, which will probably all be Vans, leaving a majority of 4j n ffio Sonata and 8 in the Commons. No one mil of die State can form an adequate idea of the difficulty of effecting any change in die politics of the people of North Carolina. There is a large portion of them who do’not take the trouble to inform themselves on political sub i jecls, and whose knowledge is confined to the fame of Gen. Jackson’s military exploits, so that I any man who professes to boa Jackson man can j command (heir votes. 't hen the Batiks, great and small, are always | a fruitful theme for tbo demagogue to exercise his powers of deception upon among the igno. I rant. The most vile, incendiary efforts have j been made to array the poor against the rich; and f every man who can pay for a shirt to his hack, is I denominated an aristocrat, a Federal Bank Bid. die Whig, or somclhingVqually ridiculous.—The leaders of thu parly, even the candidates, have ». not scrupled,in their desperation, to practice any kind of deception to retain their ascendancy, amt many honest, but simple minded men, have been imposed on by their li-icks. A successful candi date fur the Seitale, in a neighboring county, in- I formed bis constituents, that the Banks made 18 ■ per cent, per annum on their stock, and that N England got along well enough until she estab lished Banks, and then she got a Icing. It was i a common remark among these irnposlois, that ■ "Banks were worse than a king,” and that "it if wo had Banks, we should have a King to rule U ov< r us,” &c. but this is the first instance we I have heard of, in which English history had been * read with such success by one of the Loco Focus. ® Widi such a mass of ignorance and imposition S lo contend again-t, the wonder is, not ihat we S have not done more, but that we have been abla y I to accomplish thus much. I Os one thing we may confidently assure out' ■ selves, that as our victory has been very gradually m accomplished, so it is likely to be permanent. It 3 needs hut vigilance, “thepiiceof liberty,” lose M cure the ground already gained, and to add new ] conquests at each succeeding trial. Let us never relax our efforts, therefore; but, feeling that we M arc labouring in the cause of truth against ertPl and ignorance, of honor and fair dealing agains\ m corruption and imposition, of law and order M against mobism and violence, let us he encourag ed by success to go on, until no demagogue shall bo permitted to raise his vficeinNortji Carolina.
