LET THE SOUTH AWAKE.
The authors of tho lar.fi' of 1823 me again
tampering xvitli the subject lor political
efi’ect. Uis now ascertained that the party
, are determined not to respect tho act of 1833.
That act. closed the tarill' controversy, which
, from that period to this has letl the country
free front all agitation on that exciting Subject
By the provisions of that act, the duties Itava
already been reduced upwards of twenty mil
lions, nnd will in a few years be so reduced
that none shall exceed twenty per cent., and
ih" whole be brought down to tho economical
wants nftlie Government. Under its influence
tlr • Soiii h lias revived and flourished bevoml
ail former example, and will continue to flour
ish more 'lllll more if the act be left undistur
-1 bed —t it tins it seems is not to be perm tied.
! It is well known thrt Mr. Van Huron, the
President elec', and Mr. Senator Wright,are
■ the real authors of the tariff of 18*28, and that
r they ell'i'cU-d its passage hy a gross treachery
’ to the Booth. After having seen red i's passage
through the House of Representatives in a
form which it was believed would not pass
1 the Senate, under assurances that it should
. not be altered in that body, it was so altered
j by the vole of Mr. Van Burett us to make it
acceptable to the New England Senators, by
, means of which it passed the Senate, direct
ly contrary to the assurances by which the
aid of the South had been obtained to prevent
i amendments m the House.
The ad of 1833 closed tho controversy, ns
.. we have remarked, which grew out ot the
profligate net of 18'28, thus passed by the
- Pres dent elect and bis associates; and it seems
e that his election to office is to be aocompa ;i
- ed by a renewal of litis vexed question, which
is calculated to put so much power and itt
k fluence in tho hands of tho dominant party.
Under the pretext of favoring tho anti-tariff
interest, the bill reported by Mr. Wright, and
v now pending in the Senate, contains a pro
-1 vision to repeal the duly on salt—an item
i- comprehended in the act of 1833, and which
e under its provisions with the other items in
i- that act, Ims been and is under a course of
c regular reduction. It is already reduced from
a loti (o less then t ight cents per bushel, and
i> will, in a few years, if the act be left undis
c imbed,bo reduced to between two and three
e cents. Under the belief that the repeal of this
duly would be popular in the South, it has
' been selected to tempt the Southern members
i to sacrifice toe great interest which their sec-
L ‘ ti nt has in manluiiiiiig, inviolate, the act of
1833. It is obvious that if this can be eff'ct
-0 ed, the whole tariff question is again opened,
and t'so interests of the South will be aga n
exposed to all the hazard and peril which, ns
1. a minority, the South must encounter in such
a conflict. If the Southern members should
y not respect the interest which the North has
in maintaining the act of 1833, it will be vain
for them to expect that that section will res
r- nect in its turn, the interest which they have
I, in that act. I
Wo say to llie Smith, beware. Mr.
Rives, when celled upon to explain the rela
tion W hich Mr. Van Unft.i intended In .--inilt
towards the lariff’, placed it on most unsatis
factory ground. He said he wan in favor "I
a practical reduction consistent with all the
great mlerestsof the country ; w hich, at lens',
is as vigil., us Gen. Jackson’s position ot a
'jiulicuius tariff." And on the faith of lies
■oiu'e assuninci! ttie Sooth is called upon to
follow/ tin- lend of Mr. Wright, wi n betray* (I
them in letti!!, in making war upon the act ol ;
whfdh provides for the final reduction i
ot the duties to the economical and just wants j
ollhc Oovernrrunt in a lew years. Will the
South surrender such substantial provisions
for the vague assurances of Mr. Van Boren,
through Ins Virginia organ ? We say, again,
beware.
i’ri.luj' Kveuing, March 3, 1837.
Mr. Enstcnn B. Glascoce, the new Postmas
ter of ihis city, appointed in the place of Wil
liam C. Micou resigned, has entered upon the du
ties of his office.
The resolution introduced into the V. Slater
Senate, and published a few days ago in our pa
per, on the subject of our affairs with Meiico.
has passed that body, unanimously ; (hereby re
fusing to sanction Gen. Jackson.’s recommenda
tion to put it in the discretion oi the President to
l issue reprisals.
We copy from the Courier ol yesterdsy, the
following article in relation toil r. Hmmuy, the
young Artist who is now ip this city, and with
pleasure add our testimocy to oil that is said iu
his praise :
"We would advise all persons who are not de
cidedly homely, and can spare the cash, to call
hito the Studio of Mr. Hzauiiks, the Artist, and
have their facer portrayed on can vass. He will
do the business in a masterly style, so that any
decent looking man may not he ashamed to
bequeath bis portrait to his “ heirs as a rich le
gacy.”
We have never spent an hour more agreeably
than the other day, while convening with this
young and accomplished artist, and looking over
the productions of his pencil. W e were delight
ed with the ardor and enthusiasm with which he
spoke of the great masters in his art, and the
strong ambition he evinced to rival tl tern. Noth
ing is more pleasant than to sec a loan devoted,
heart and soul, to his profession—to see all the
power of mind enchained with an unwavering
singleness of purpose to one pursuit. Division
in mental power—the common cause of apathy—
never did, «ud never will, accomplish any thing
truly great. I’crscverantia vjneit or.mia, is the
only ni(kto which will lead one to perfection.
Jurying from the specimens which we saw,
,vc dunk Mr. Head Jen has already attained a
hi/n stale of excellence in his delightful art. —
/here is fidelity and truth in his delineations of
the “1111111(111 face divine” —a freedom a.nd boldness
in relief, which nothing hut the ha ml. and eye of
genius can produce. His ideal pieac from “Col
lin’s celebrated ode,” is the very jiursonificalion
of all “we know or dream of love.” His portrait
of Gen. Clinch is admirably done ; that of our
friend Jones is good—all dungs considered—nay
flattering,—but our design is not tn criticise, wc
only wish to call the attention of the public to a
young and promising artist, who wc.ll deserves its
countenance and support.”
The following communication wa s handed in
yesterday, but too late for insertion. Wo think
the writer is rather too personal, and wo have
stricken out n small part of the con i.munication.
The doctrine contained in the extract from the
Constitutionalist, that the Legislature has the
right to annul Bank charters, is
and close akin to the doctrines which ruled in the
“ reign of terror” in Franco. If the Legislature
has the right to annul Bank charters, it has an
equal ri hi to annul a land grant, or any oilier
contract to which the State is a party—a doctrine
which strikes at the root of sociely, and which
God forbid should ever get in the asc omlant in
onr country. There is a recklessness of conse
quences in the promulgation of such doc trines by
a certain school of politicians, which is truly
alarming, and we trust that whatever may he
public opinion of the transfer of the Insurance
Bank Stock to Mr Biddle, the majesty of the
laws, and the constitution, will not he violated to
gratify the demands of faction. But wo arc yet
to loam that this transfer is unpopular—wo be
lieve it to be the reverse.
von tub rnnosicLK ami skntint.l.
<• If the Legislature does not meet before the
regular time, it will he urgent that those we send
to legislate for us, should ho instructed to act
with decision and energy, and declare the trans
fer of the stock of the Insurance Bank of Co
liunlms, null and void, and tho charter forfeited.
The above extract is token from an editorial
article which appeared in the Constitutionalist of
yesterday morning. The people of Georgia, as
well as the owners of Bank Stock, should know
that the man who so uuWushingly puts forth his
Jacobinical doctrines, is one, whoso ideas of jus
tice and constitutional law, were formed in a coun
try, which has boon ruled by such distinguished
teachers of tho people’s rights, as a Marat, a
Danton, and a Uobospicro. It is from such pure
fountains of reason and justice, that Mr. Guieu
has imbibed his ideas of Government, and whose
greatest ambition is, at this lime, to make himself
conspicuous, as tho leader of the modern school
of Jacobins. SIDNEY.

There is nothing farther respecting the alleged I

think, as good news—far it is not possible, as it

and no detail of the time, place, and particulars
have reached Liverpool in 18 days after the ca
tastrophe, and 12 after its first mention in Lloyd’s
lists.
A passenger in the St. Andrew, moreover, as
we learn from the Courier extra, saw a Havre
paper of 6lh Jan., two days after the sailing of
the Normandie, in which tho loss 4 of the Eric was
discredited.
Sir Robert Peel’s Speech at Glasgow is given
at length in tho Courier. It is very eloquent,
and wc do not doubt it was very effective. A
mong the cautions it throws out to the British

Bayonne, Jan. 9.—Espartcro was still in Bil

town, occupying even the position of San Do

of Alaix, Narvaez, and Rihcro, and the Portu
guese troops, passed Burgos on the 27th ult. to
wards Vitloria, to act against the rebels. No
thing certain, however, is known as to their move

arrested, on whom was found correspondence,
proving that the Holy Alliance looked to the cap

TWENTY-FOURTH CONGRESS,
seconl) session.
House of Reimikskntativf.s, Feb. 28.
APPROPRIATIONS.
The House took up for consideration tho Har
bor Bill and the amendments thereto, reported
from the Committee of the Whole, which were
concurred in.
Some motions made in the committee were re
newed and rejected.
The previous question was ordered and the bill
, was ordered to a third reading and passed—loß
to 41,
Tho House then took up the general civil and
, diplomatic appropriation bill, the question being on
i the concurrence, in the amendments reported from
, the Committee of the Whole.
Tho amendment providing for tho outfits and
salaries of Ministers to Prussia and Austria, was
opposed by Mr. Mercer, who asked whether any
i communication had been received from the Presi
dent of the United Slates, representing the neces
sity of establishing a diplomatic intercourse with
those countries.
Mr. Howard, Chairman of the committee of
Foreign Relations, explained that the responsi
bility of the measure rested upon tho Committee
of Foreign Affairs.
It sprang from a desire to open a negotiation
1 with Austria and Prussia, in relation to the duties
i on tho tobacco of the U. S. imported into those
i countries.—He, Mr. H. had called upon the Sec
retary of State, to inquire whether there was any
reason existing why ministers should not bo sent
to those countries, and was told that on the con
trary, there were many reasons in favor of it,
which he indicated.
Mr. Jenifer spoke briefly in support of the mis
< sums to Austria and Prussia.
TEXAS.
Mr. Thompson, of S. C. moved to amend the
amendment by providing for a Minister to he sent
. to the Independent Hepublic of Texas.
Mr. Cushing said this question lay in the com
pass of a nutshell. He admitted and asserted tho
right of recognition, hut considered that the time
' of recognition had not arrived,
i Mr. Adams objected to the motion for the fur
thci reason that the President had not recommen
ded tho recognition of the independence of Texas
to Congress. He was not going to set the ex
ample of taking responsibility from the hand of
the Executive where it belonged.
Mr. Mercer, said it was for this reason precise
ly that ho was opposed to the appointment of a
minister to Austria and Prussia. He denied that
tho House had a right to establish a mission not
recommended by tho President,
Mr. Pickens briefly supported the proposition.
All he desired was to have the yeas and nays up
on it as an independent proposition. He denied
that the President had refused to act on the sub
ject; on the contrary he expressly said that he
would cordially co-operato with Congress in any
measure which they might take on this subject.
At this last stage of the session, he should forego
his purpose of speaking on this subject.
Mr. Hamer said he had voted for the proposi
tion in relation to Texas in committee, and wish
ed to say a word in explanation of his vote. The
question was argued last night, as one of an
nexation, but a recognition did not imply annexa
tion. That was a separate question. Texas has
an independent government in actual operation.
She is as independent ns wc are; and no one
denies it. Wo were pledged to tho recognition
of her government when the proof should be
made that she had a regular government and
that proof we had. The principal reason urged
against the measure is that tho Texians are our
own kindred friends. But this, instead of being
an objection, was to him a recommendation.
Mr. C. Allan also briefly supported the mo
tion. Ho contended that, in this case, the action
of Congress ought to precede that of the Execu
tive, because it might involve the question of
war. It was a momentous question and one
in which the legislative power ought to lake the
lead. Beyond the fact of actual independence
we had never looked in recognizing any former
government, and in this case, we had asked proof
of the independence of Texas. It was the des
tiny of our race that wc should have possession
of the western portion of the continent. He
warned the gentleman from Mass. (Mr. Hoar,)
■| that the opposition of northern prejudices to this
measure would hasten, instead of retarding the
; annexation of Texas to the Union.
Mr. Hoar explained and replied. He said that
I in regard to foreign nations we appeared as one
government, though constituted of different
branches, and that it was proper that on such a
uuostien the action of the dilfcceut branches should
>o harmonious.
The President iu Ins official statements to the
Bouse, had informed us that Texas could not
maintain her independence without contributions 1
from our citizens; that she cannot stand unless we •
hold her up. In the f aco °* this evidence, how ,
can we say that Texas is independent. If the re- ,
cognition of Texas was opposed at the North, on (
the gronnd that it would extend the empire ofsla- I
\exy and benefit the Southern States, lie was not 1
aw are of it. As to the anexation of another foot J
of land to the United States at the North or South, (
he was utterly opposed to it, and he hoped every |
other citizen ot the united States would be. c j
had too much land already.
Mr. W. A. Sheppard moved to amend the amend- 1
ment. so as to provide for the outfit anil salary
of a Minister to he sent to the Republic of Texas,
by the President, whenever be shall receive satis- ,
factory evidence that Texas is an independent
power, and shall see fit to open a diplomatic inter
course with her.
After some conversation, Mr, Thompson ac
cepted the amendment as a modification ofhis
motion.
The motion to amend was agreed to, yeas 121-
nays 76. The sum of 9,000 dollars was added to,
the appropriation.
The whole araendinant, as amended, was then
concurred in.
The bill was, with the amendments, ordered to
be engrossed for a third'reading.
The House took up the Cumberland Road bill
which was under discusion at 3 o’clock when the
House took a recess.
From the Louisiana Journal, Jan 19.
In our paper of to-day will he found an inter
esting article, copied from the Feliciana Republi
can, setting forth the improvement of the Town
of Jackson, and the flourishing condition of tho
public schools.
It is gratifying to us to be enabled to add our
testimony to that of the Republican, in regaui to
these facts. Tho College of Louisiana must “go
ahead,” under the direction of the present effi
cient President. Wc have read the letter of Pre
sident Shannon to the Board of Trustees, and
tho report of a Committee of the Board to the
Legislature, which was forwarded to that body
on Saturday last. It is to be hoped that the Le
gislature will cause that report to be printed, and
that it will find a place in every Newspaper pub
lished in the State.
IMIID.
On Tuesday morning last after a protracted ill
ness, the Rev THOMAS HOBBY, of this place
in the 24th year of his age.
This young man had for several years been
preparing for the ministerial office —he had re
cently closed a course of study at tho Theolo
gical Seminary in Columbia S. C. where he was
greatly esteemed and highly respected for his a
miahle qualities and mental powers. His mind
was ardent in the pursuit of knowledge, and
his devotion to the cause of his Redeemer af
forded to his friends sanguine hopes of his fu
ture usefulness. But the sovereign will ol Him
who orders and controls all events, has called
him from the concerns of time, to the realities
of an eternal stale. He had hut a short time
since been licenced by the Presbytery with which
he was connected, to preach the everlasting gospel.
His health which was at that lime delicate con
tinued with few favorable variations to decline
till the 28th of February when his spirit was liber
ated from its tenement of clay, and he was called
as it is hoped and believed to enter that rest which
remains for the people of God.” He was asked
by a Rind attendant a short lime before he breath
ed his last whether, if it were tho design of Provi
dence bow to remove him to another world, he
was willing to meet the change.—Ho replied, he
was “ perfectly willing and the sooner the better.’
Within an hour or two afterwards, he ceased to
breathe. By this afflicting visitation the antici
pated expectations of many surviving friends have
been disappointed ; but they are aware that the
dispensation must be as just as it is incomprehen
sible and with the consolation of believing that
their loss is his gain they trust that in a spirit
of tranquil resignation, they shall ho able sincerely
to say “the will of the Lord bo done.”
