Barra was - enabled to nuke his proud boast:— “ I resisted the violence of America at the hazard of my popularity there t I now resist your frenzy at the sutne risk here." It was then, too, he gave his me*«y orablo, but fruitless,warning; ** I know tho vast su periority of your disciplined troops ovor tho provin cials ; but beware how you supply tho want of disci pline by desporation.” Sir, said Mr. W., the fatal dilemma of Mr. Dun- ning is exactly that, presented to the South: “ and we will cut your throat; submit, and we will tax you.” . r „ From this hasty review of councils, whoso folly and madness could bo excelled only by our own, it was grateful to turn to a safer, a wiser precedent that set by Thomas Jofferson, respecting the repeal of the embargo. It would be unjust and imprudent to use any other than his own words: “ Mr. Adams called on me pending the embargo, and, while endear, ore mere muling to obtain its repeal, he made some apologies for the call, on the ground of'pm not being in the habit of confidential communications; but that which he had then to make, involved too seriously, the interest of our country, not to. overrule all oilier considerations with him, and mako it his duty to re veal it to myself particularly. I assured him there was no occasion for any apology for his visit; that, on the contrary, his communications would be thank, fully receivod, ami would add a confirmation the more to my entire confidence in the rectitude and patriotism of his conduct and principles. He spoke then of the dissatisfaction of the eastern portion of our confederacy, with the restraints of the. embargo then existing, and their restlessness under it. That there was nothing which might not be attempted to rid tlicnisclvcs of it. That ho had information, of the most unquestionable certainty, that certain citi zens of the Eastern States (I think ho named Mas- sachusetts particularly) were in negotiation with agents of the British Government, the object of which was an agreement that the Now England Stats should take no further part in tho war then going on : that, without formally declaring their separation from the Union of the States, they should withdraw from all aid and obedience to them; that their navigation and commerce should be freo from restraint and in terruption by the British; that they should be, con sidered and treated by them as neutrals, and as such might conduct themselves towards both parties, and, at the close of tho war, bo at liberty to rejoin the con: f -’ency. He assured me that there was imminent dq, ger; that the convention would take place; that the temptations were such as might denauch ma ny from tlioir fidelity to the Union; and that to en able its friends to make head against it, the repeal of the embargo was absolutely necessary. I expressed. a just sense of tho merit of this information, and of the importance of -tho disclosure 'to the safety and even the salvation of our country; and however re luctant I was to abandon the measure, (a measure which, persevered in a tittle longer, wo had subse quent and satisfactory assurance, would have efifacted its object completely,) from that moment, and influ enced by that- information, I saw the necessity of abandoning it; and, iustead of effecting our purpose by this peaceful weapon, wo must fight it out or break the Union. I then recommended to my. friends to yield to the necessity of a repeal of the embargo, and t o endeavor to supply its place by the best substitute, in which they coiild procure a general concurrence.” Mr. Wilde was not unapprised, that, in some of these details, the memory of Mr. Jefferson was inac- curator The correctness of the material part, how- ever, remains unimpcached. Tho discontent of tho East, and the machinations of some leading men there, to produce a dissolution of the Union, or tern, porary secession from it, had been communicated to Mr. Jofferson; and instead of sdeking means to punish the instigators of there sistaneeto a law of Congressor asking new and extraordinary powers to enforce it, Mr, J. recommended a Repeal of the Embargo. This much Mr. W. thought was apparent, even from tho statement of the distinguished gentleman referred to, made with a view of correcting the er rors of Mr. Jefferson’s octogenarian memory. To avoid all injustice, Mr. W. would use his own lan guage : “ It was in these letters of 1808 and 1809,” says Mr. Adams, “ that I mentioned the design of cer tain leaders of the federal party to effect a dissolu. tion of the Union, and the establishment of a northern confederacy. This design had been formed in the winter of 1803 —4, immediately alter, and as a consequence of the acquisition of Louisiana. Its justifying causes to arfcultural. From therSouthem Planter. WILD LOCUST FOB HEDGES. Tarvkrsvillk, Ga. April 22, 1833. To the Editor of the Southern Planter : Sin—Having seen several publications in, vour excellent paper in relation to Live Hedg es, I am induced to give you my views or the subject. In my opinion, the Wild Locust is the best thing that can be planted for a Hedge. It is adapted to rich soils, but will grow in poor land. And when it once takes root, is difficult to be eradicated. Its thorns present a perfect barrier to man and horse. It is ea sily propagated, stands frost and droughts re markably well; and in my opinion would sur pass any native shrub in America for this purpose. If you think this suggestion worthy of notice, you will please give it room in your paper. Very respectfully,. TWIGGS. general *ntelU$?ticc. those who entertained it were, that the annexation of Louisiana to tho Union transcended tho constitution, al powers of tho government of the United States.— That it formod in fact & new confederacy, to which the States united by the former compact, wero not bound to adhere. That it was oppressive to tho in terests, and destructive to the influence of the north cm section of the confederacy; whose right and duty it therefore was to secede from the new body politic, and to constitute one of their own. This plan was so, far matured, that the proposal had been made to on individual to permit himself, at tho proper time, to be placed at the head of the military movements which it was foreseen would be necessary for carrying it into execution. In all this there was no overt act of treason. In tho abstract theory of our govern ment, the obedience of tho citizen is not due to an unconstitutional law. He may lav/fully resist its ex ccution. If a single individual undertakes this resis tance, our constitutions, both of the United States and of each separate State, have provided a judiciary powor, judges, and juries, to decide between the in dividual and the legislative act which he has resisted as unconstitutional. But lot us suppose the case that legislative acts of one or inoro States of this Un. ion are passed,conflicting with acts of Congress and commanding the resistance of their citizens against them,and to /ait else can he the result but war-civil war? And is not that de facto a dissolution of the Union no far as the resisting States are concemod? " And what would be the condition of every citizen in tho resisting States ? Bound by the double duty of alle giance to the Union and to tho State, he Would be crushed between, the upper and nether millstone,^with the performance of every civic duty converted in- to a crime, and guilty of treason, by every act of obe dience to the law.” It was precisely this miserable state of things so clearly and aoly delineated by the gentleman from Massachusetts, [Mr, Adams,] that he, Mr. W. desired to avoid. Ho conjured,, nay, he implored, his politi cal friends to aid him in averting it. If they turned a deaf car to his prayers, ho reminded them that tho Southrons wero Italians, not in their skies only. If they should trace up the failure of peace to those whose r.auso they had been upholding, there was danger, they might adopt the desperate saying of Cosmo de Medici: “ You shall road, said he, that we are com- manded to forgive our onemies; bat yon will no where find we are required to forgive our friends." Mr. VV. wished to forgive all, or rather he wished by a comprehensive measoreof conciliation, so to bu ry every past causo of complaint, that there should be nothing left to forgive. In pursuit of that just object, he acknowledged no friend but him who aid ed, he recognized no enemy but those who obstructed it. Whosoever, in this hour of peril and dismay, would aid him in hu holy purpose—whosoever would even dare to speak, what the freemen of the conntiy thought, but bad noi yet uttered, him would he grap ple to i)ia heart,. ,wiih- hooks oT steel! And he who thwarted him in this most cherished object of his life, would he tear thence, though ho were his brother of the samewomb, born at tho same birth! From the New York Commercial Adrerliscr. SAP OF BIRCH TRUES—A XEW BRINK. [Justice to the author of the following com munication, requires us to say that it was written offhand, immediately after the appear, aaco of the article ia the American, to which it is a. reply.] I saw last evening in the American the fol lowing :— A New Drink.—A correspondent sends us the following extract of a .letter. “ By the way, do the people ‘down cast’ known that an excellent drink can be made of the sap of frirch trees ? You may, if you plcaso, communicate it to some newspaper. It is made like wine.” The next best thing to telling* that sap of birch trees makes an excellent drink, is to let us know the process of making it—though to be sure, they are ‘cute enough’ “down east” to find any thing out. Not being acquainted with the editor of that paper, I have sent an answer to the inquiries then made, to you. The very mention of the beverage is revi ving. ' The birch tree from which the sap is taken for this purpose is the black birch, but yellow or white birch, will answer the purpose. •The birch of either species abounds more in sap than any other tree of the American forests. An hundred gallons of sap may be taken from a good sized tree in twenty-four hours. Sixteen gallons of this sap contain about a pound of sugar. It contains a large quantity of fixed air, and is a delightful drink as it runs pure from the tree, and it may be used as freely as the Saratoga waters with sufety. The drink is highly exhilcrating. Beer may be made in various ways from this sap, but the best I ever drank was made in the following manner: The trees were tapped in March, as the snow was wasting away, and tubs placed un der them to catch the liquor. The crochets were fixed, the lug-pole extended, and the large kettle swung—the sap was put iuto them, and the fire kindled, and the sap was boiled down to about one half of the natural quantity-an half pint of the essence ofthe spruee an handful of chickenberry leaves, with a small quantity of sassafras or sasapariila is allotted to a barrel ; and if you wish it to be super-excellent, put in as you turn it into the cask, about two quarts of maple syrup to thirty gallons. A few days after the casks are put into the cellar, give them a slight vent while it is in a gentle ferment. The casks should be iu a cool place, that the fermenta tion should be slowly carried on ; when this is over, bung it up tight, and in May it will be in the highest perfection. No drink ever used is more delightful the taste, or more healthy. It purifies the blood—sits well upon the stomach, and has no intoxicating effect. Had Bacchus known how to make birch beer, he would have thrown down his wine cup and adhered to the beer barrel. The writer of these rules for brew ing the eastern birch beer, has tasted of the vintages of many nations:—has drunk from theJcathern bottle of Shiraz, “the flagon of Rhenish,” the black glass containing Moun tain Malaga,—the clear, inspiring looking ta per' necked bottles of Champaigne; but would forego them all for the pure, well made, well kept cask of birch beer. It is remarkable for clearing the head—and for warming the heart. The New Hampshire troops had been swigging at it when they heard of the Lexington fight, and had a few barrels left when they went , on to Bunker Hill-they drank hut little else during the whole' revolutionary conflict—rand what people were ever braver? Stark drank his tankard of beer until he was turned of ninety, and old Samuel Welsh, of Bow, refreshed the writer with a mug of fine birch beer in a watm day—drinking freely of it himself, then in his hundred and twelfth year., Is it not conducive to long life ? It must be confessed that some of the rising generation in that region, although they loved it dearly, thought it was not so fashion, able os brandy ; 'and did not think of offering it to a visiter ; but it is to [>e hoped that this modesty has become quite extingt—rand that in some future'day-the excellence ofthe birch will be sung with the virtues of the vine ; and that the genius of Temperance will adopt the birch tree as an emblem of his complete tri umph over all the fiery spirits ofthe distillery.

This last proposition was to have been presented to the Belgian govern ment on the 31st of March. From the well known character of the King of Holland, it is evident that this propo- sition conceals a new danger. The Cabinet ofthe Hague would not have demanded that to In connection with the same subject, 1 herewith enclose you a copy {ofthe copy) of a tettef, received by me a few days ago from a respectable gentleman, who resides in the neighborhood of John Ross. That gentleman with various others, informs rtie, that Ross is exhibiting this indiscreet letter, and impressing that in a short time, all the Georgia settlers, who have settled under the authority of the laws of Georgia, will be driven from their homes by the United States Army. There may be some exaggeration in these state ments'; but I am forced to the conclusion, from what I have heard, and from the reading of this imprudent letter, that great efforts are making in that country to mislead, and delude the unfortunate Cherokees.
