.Mu. Van Buren.—The Vice President of
the United States is at present among the
most conspicuous men of the age. A sketch
of his biography is placed on our first page,
teaching a lesson to all in early life, that there
is no post of honor in this country, which
talents, integrity and industry may not aspire
to and attain. No public man has sus

The packet ship Sully, Capt. Forbes, arri

whence she sailed on the 5th ult. We ex
tract the following items of news from the
Courier and Euquircr, and the Gazette.
Under date of the 31st May, the Paris cor
respondent of the Journal du Havre writes as
follows:
“ It is not without cause that the govern
ments of Germany and Italy fear a general
explosion in their respective countries. The
administrations there, instead of exerting
themselves to allay the general ferment that
exists, and acting up to the opinions of the
age, seek only,' in a system of persecution, the
means of suppressing the revolution which is
ready to break out. A traveller who has just

New York, July 26—London papers to the
evening of the 14th ultimo, have been receiv
ed by the packet ship President, Captain
Moore. The President sailed from Ports
mouth on the 15th. We subjoin an abstract
of the contents of these papers.
East India Company—In addition to the
high matters of iuterest under discussion iu
the British Parliament, at the date of our last
advices, the question of the renewal of the
East India company’s charter, may now be
enumerated. This subject was brought be
fore the House of Commons on the night of
the 13th by Mr. C. Grant, who, in a speech
final vote bad not yet been taken. There
can be no doubt it will pass the Commons,
and perhaps in a still more injurious form to
the interest of the planters, than that origin,
ally proposed by Ministers. Its fate in the
House of Lords is far more doubtful, as the
Duke of Wellington and his party will op
pose it.
A Liverpool paper of the 8th of June, con
tains the following unfavorable news from
Oporto:
“ A brig has just arrived at this port from
Oporto, with three officers on board, from
Don Pedro’s army. The accounts from
Oporto are by no means favorable to the
cause of Donna Maria: the army only con-
sisting of lO.QO strong, and not in high spir-. f length> laid before the House the
its; their disaffection is more on account of J1 ... ‘ „ ® f ’ ~ Km ,i,
their contracts of pay not being discharged,
than the hardships of a city in a state of |
siege. Whether it be a lack of money on
the part of the government of Don Pedro, or
wilfully held from the troops, ia*not .known.
Out of the English troops there at present re
main only 1,000, and about 1,500 French, all
of whom would gladly return to their respec
tive countries, were it possible. Admiral
Sartorious is laying off the Bar. Don Migu-
el’s squadron is reported to be out, and well
refitted.”
From France there is nothing additional of i
propositions of Government, for regulating
the affairs of the Company, to the effect that
the trade of China should be thrown open
and that it is expedient that the Government
of India should remain in the hands of the
Company, subject to regulations to be pre
scribed by Parliament'.
The propositions are,
1st. To separate the union which at pres
ent exists between the trading character and
the sovereign character of the East India
Company.
2d. To abolish altogether the Company
as a trading company, and to throw the trade

Dear Sir :—Your favor of the 15th, has

communications will have ; and but for your
(supposed) absence from home, would have

My opinions on those constitutional rela

at least in the midland parts of Georgia.—
The Federal government was brought into
existence by the Constitution ; was created
tor specific purposes, comparatively few, but
ot' the highest national importance. Restrict
ed in its action to the sphere prescribed to it
by the constitution, its value to the American
people collectively and individually has, and
iu all probability will continue to satisfy the
highest expectations of those whose wisdom
planned it. On appropriate subjects, con
gressional legislation will continue to advance
the interest of the whole, without imping
ing upon, or curtailing those of any latitude
or section iu this widely extended confedera

general code of municipal law, which would
satisfy the demands of one, without,giviog an
noyance to other States—and it was there
fore most wisely ordained, that the subjects
of Federal jurisdiction should be few, and
those chiefly of a national character.
No one at all acquainted with the history
of the Federal government and its several ad
ministrations, can doubt its tendency to trans
gress the boundaries prescribed by the Con-
stitution. This is abundantly exemplified in
the 'charters of the United States Bank, the
Alien and Sedition Laws, and by no means
the least enormous, the Tariff of 1816, ’24
and ’28. Against the mischiefs of such as.
sumptions of power, I know that politicians
may be found, who maintain that adequate
guards are to be found in the intelligencejus-
tice and energy of the Supreme Court. But
the Supreme Court is part and parcel of the
same Government, and will generally, if not
always, take sides with the administration, be
it Federal, Republican, or what not. The Ju
diciary is by far the most irresponsible de
partment of Government—is more than any
other alienated from all concern or sympathy
with popular or State Rights, and has thus
far, in our political history, given very few or
nc manifestations of temperance or self-denial
in the exercise of official power.
The people Sir, of the several States, are
the proper guardi;ins of their own Constitu
tions, State and Federal. By the people,
and for their exclusive use, they were all
made; and it is only by their vigilance and
decision that they can be preserved—their
modes and means of action, when aggressions
are to be repelled or usurpations subdued,
ore matters of discretionary choice with them
selves ; for no other authority under Heaven
has a right to prescribe or dictate—and at no
time of my fife, have I seen the necessity for
a stronger and sterner stand in favor of State
Rights.

With deep regret, we announce the death
of General John Coffee.—He died on the
7th instant, in the 62 year of his age, at his
residence near Florence, Alabama.
This brave man, was one of the noblest
specimens of an American citizen soldier.
We saw him last winter on a visit to the Pres-
ident, to whom he had been a right.atm
throughout the war, and were greatly struck
with the plain, unpretending, farmer-like ap
pearance of one, who had been a thunderbolt
in battle. ' He had nothing of “the. pride, pomp,
and circumstance of glorious war” about him.
—rAlthough of exceedingly robust, Herculean
person, he had not a martial look. His man
ners were gentle—tho expression of bis
countenance quiet and tiioughtful—and his
whole for and aspect, wore the appearance of
serious, religious feeli.ig. And this tqne of
mind, roused to enthusiasm, characterised his
soldiership. One of the bravest men that ev-
er led a column to the charge, and inspi
ring all with iiis own energy, the animating
motive in his own bosom, was devotion to his
country.
. He fought the first battle, that, of Tallus-
hatchee, under the orders of Gen. Jackson,
but not iu his presence. - This was the pre
lude to the glorious succession of victories,
which terminated before New Orleans.—
General Coffee signalized himself, by his va
lor and commanding powers in the hard
fought battles of Talledega, Emuchfaw, Eno-
tichopco, and Tohopeka. At Emuchfaw he
was shot through the body, and although sut.
fering under this dreadful wound when the In
dians attacked the retiring array at Enotic-
hepco Creek, and threw it into panic and
confusion, General Coffee rose from tho lit
ter on which he was borne, mounted his horse
greatly aided the Commander-in-Chief in re
storing order and retrieving' the day.
On the summons of General Jackson, with

the Commander-in-Chief to storm Pensacola,

southern frontier, and 4 finally to triumph in
he died, was an affection of the lungs, con-
tracted during his visit to th?s city last winter.
From the middle of April until a few weeks
before his_ death, his constitution seemed to
rally. The disorder then recurred, with vi-
olent symptoms of pleurisy, and he expired
irom effusion on the lungs.
In his dying moments, when giving his
blessing to his family, he remembered the
fnend dearest to him, desired that he should
be written to, and his blessing also invoked
for aim.
No man ever enjoyed more unbounded
confidence and affection. It was deeply evin
ced in the last offices paid him, when the mil
itary honors which consigned him to the grave,
were lost iu the grief, of the sad concourse
of his immediate neighbors.—Washington

The procession then moved to the place of
execution, about two miles on the road to Phil,
adelphia. The prisoner soon after, ascend,
ed the scaffold, not Without some indications
ot debility and took ' a seat. A prayer was
then offered by one of the Rev. gentlemen
prescut, and a hymn was sung ia which the
culprit joined. The death warrant was then
read, as we thi.ik not exactly in character, by
one of the clergy, who also read the confes.
sion. The latter was not entirely audible to
our informant, but he recollects an admission,
on the part of Clough, that it was his predt-
termination to murder Mrs. Hamilton, and
that he intended to make her assassination
simultaneously With his own suicide, but that
“ his heart jailed him.”
He also stated what we do not believe, that
the unfortunate object of his revenge, and
jealousy had promised Him marriage: but,
that she had engaged herself to another per.
son. The Rev. Clergy, being about to
bid him farewell, he requested another prayer,
in which he seemed to join with great ear-
nestness. The Clergy anti two other Gen
tlemen, who were upon the scaffold, in turns
took leave. At this crisis liis teeliags over-
power d his fortitude, and lie wept loudly,
and with difficulty could withdraw his arms
from, the neck of one of his spiritual advi
sers. ‘ •
The worthy Sheriff, Mr. Hpllingshead, with,
out any assistant, then proceeded to perform
the melancholy duties of his office, by fas.
teiiing the fatal rope across the beam of the
allows. Clough supposing that the rope
was not long enough, deliberately measured
it with his arm, and requested that it should
be made ldnger, which was assented to by
the Sheriff. He was then pinioned, and the
cup placed upon his head and drawn over his
eyes. Clough then extended his hand to the
Sheriff' as far us he was able, who bid him a
tinal< farewell. Id about two minutes after,

were removed, and the wretched murderer
suffered the peualty of the Law.
His body was suspended for about thirty
minutes, and lias been given over as wc un
derstand to his iricnds for interment. To

Clough evinced great hrmnes3, and liirougb-
out demeaned nimself -with becoming tort-
tude. After he was turiied off, not a struggle
was apparent. It is supposed that not les
than ten thousand persons were present, ani
for the honor of our Sister State, we are au
thorised to say that but a few^ females wero
among them.
