Sad In the North wind the trees are now bending, And their foliage is swept far aw ay on the gale; The doll gloom of Autumn around is descending, And the last blooming flowrets look pale and more pile.

The Editor of the Norfolk Herald. I (says the National Intelligencer,); 1 who seems to have imbibed impies- 1 sions respecting Captain Hull, which j t he now finds to be erroneous, conies: t out upon the occasion with the frank- [ 1 ness of an honorable man, who de-!; sires to repair ati injury he has un- t wittingly done. We'think, however, 1 that he must be mistaken in suppos- t ing that a large, portion of the com [ tuunity was iftrposeo ujiou by the < machinations of Capt. Hull’s ene- I nxies. The following me the obser- r various of the Editor of the Herald,. * which do him as much credit a# they I do justice p> the subject: t As we have read nearly nil that n has been published in the nciyspa- il pars anii in fimphkfc- respecting, a * V guide to enable us to form a correct opinion of his case, it is not wonder ed at, that the boisterous outcry a- - gainst him should have produced a sinister effect on our judgment, as it no doubt Inis on the opinions of a large portion of the community—but his complete triumph in every in stance in which he has been called upon to answer the charges of his ac cusers, satisfies us of his innocence, and will disabuse the public mind. Who is it that has not the heart to { rejoice that the founder of our naval! reputation has preserved his own un sullied against a system t)f detraction so powerfully and operating for its: destruction ? If there be one so lost to patriotism and honor, let him no longer bear the name of an Ameri . V can. s.VTUKUAY, N>)V.

We have, frequently hud the op port Hilly of witnessing the modes of 1 attack upon the catholic religion, by those writers who assail it ; and we have almost uniformly observed, that 1 they never assail either that religion, or its practices, in a fair candid, or honourable manner. They first caricature what they mean to decry, and tinui expose to ridicule and exe cration, the distorted object which : they exhibit. iVlever was there a more striking instance of this misconduct, than that which we are now obliged to notice. We would have suffered the base and calumnious lubrication ra rest in its merited obscurity, but for the impor tunity with which we are daily wor med to learn, if the form of excewn | mnnicution, winch will be found be low, was that which the Dishop of rh.huklphia used, in cutting off the sclmittatical young man who is em ployed in St. Mary's Church, from Catholic communion. We asked, “And does any one believe that it was We were answered—“ Yes.'’ And we were informed, that it has been most assiduously copied through tiie papers of the Union; and we have been requested to correct this erroneous impression. Alas! how can we do so ? Our paper is in the ; hands of few but Catholics, and they Are not tin* persons upon whom the i erroneous impression lias been made. : We can only publicly statu the truth, | mid call upon those Editors of pa- t pers who have innocently copied the j calumnious article, as they would not ’ be guilty ol braringfalse witness I 'against their nrig(dmir,x « copy this s correction. Truth, honour, and re- i ligion, demand from them the con- t tiadicrion. The imposition Com c mi nced, it appears, in Philadelphia, i; in a paper witicii we have never seen, 1 and which we-haye heard spoken of f iin nr, very flattering terms. This) 1 ■ papen. published on the 13th ol teb-j ruary last, commences by slating, j that the Editor lias, at length, obtain ! ed a Correct copy of the excoramum- j cation of William, Pastor ol .it. Mg-, ry’s Church, which is the name this young man has chosen as his desig-. notirai. | Op reading this execrable produc tion, we absolutely felt a chill oi hot ror, and involuntarily asked a friend who was near us, whether there was i any thing so pestiferous in the air of ! Philadelphia, as to destroy every par ticle of moral feeling. We would scarcely have thought, that any per-, son whom public opinion had intrust ed-vvith the direction of a press, could be so debased, as to be guilty of so; glaring a fraud, so shameful, and so easily detected; but, our astonish' n.e .t ceased when we recollected the pamphlets. Yes, the vampire who penned them, crawling forth from the graves of the respected dead, with his head smeared with gore, his entrails filled with corruption, and the air around him fetid and conta gions. We no longer w ere sceptics. Tiie object of the party was, to bring disgrace upon the Catholic religion. For this purpose, the infidel, the profligate, and the vindictive, were leagued in a holy alliance—for this purpose, the Vinegar ■kill bays were enlisted—for this purpose, th j Ba lance, even the Balance, was sub sidized ; and one of Sterne’s effusions, the compilation, of his ingenuity and Ids, —can we call it less than malig nity ? was copied from Tristam Shan dy, and sent out to tire public of America, as the official document of one of the dignitaries of the Catholic Church ; and the men who consent to, and delight in, and circulate tills grossest of libels upon the Catholic Church, presume to call themselves Catholics, We have inquired what form the bishop- used, and have been told that he did not use any regular denuncia tion of those marked ; but merely had the fart stated publicly, that the young man who had usurped the place of the pastors of the church, was excommunicatod ; this was e nough for its validity. We shall now, for the information of the pub lic, give from the Roman Pontifical, a translation of the form nf major ex coinmunicatinn. which is flint under which this clergyman lies; which will show our readers how different the fact is from the fiction, which we give below. TP \ .-eL.VT’l’o.T— T rim. “ Whereas J the name of'the per *-m wAa etfnrmrmrmraKs, have law -1 r "’*lv admonished the name of the \ person e.eamnninirated, the first, i second, third and fourth time, to be tome., .fr.vT lits malicious way, and to dc'.'lst ft'om —the crime, is here inserted; nul w hereas he contemp tuously refused, or neglected to fulfil and obey tills command ; and whereas obedience will appear to be of no avail to the humble, if their contempt produce no evil to the contumacious: Therefore, bv (he authority of the Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy G! osl, and of tiie blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and of all Saints, compelled by bis contumacy.

Now let any unbiassed person compare fheauthor i/.ed form with Sterne's fieri an, and say what credit is to be given to the persons, who give to the public the one or the other. roil rOF. CUROMCI.F. & ADVK. ItTISER, Tit the people of the State of Geor gia audio the Legislature hereof. (coNonm»Ei>.) Hie decision of the Judge of the Western Circuit, which it seems has had some bearing upon (his subject, w,\ c ..insider as premature and novel, and I believe I may in safety add’ unprecedented in tiie history of the jurisprudence of this country. Tiie learned judge has taken ff>r granted that which in our conception requir ed the must proof. We are inclined very strongly to the opinion that his premises are untrue, and therefore, iiis conclusions if his reasoning be legitimate must be false.—His honor will have the goodness to pardon us for our precision and candour upon this subject,—for we think that we are warranted in making these state ments, first upon the ground that tiie opinion is unsupported by any legal authority whatever, and in the second place, that it is inconsistent and con tradictory to the plainest and most obvious deductions of human reason. The Goint Commences bv teliint? us that the subject naturally divides it self info two branches. “ F irst, wh.it is such a vacancy of office as the Constitution intended tiie- Exe cutive should fill? And in tiie se cund place how far an office aught bf discharged by Deputy.’’? To tms arrangement or classifientinh we have no partlcvdar objections, but, if 1 you will take ibe trouble to turn to I the opinion you will there find that lie i has laid down some gMieral rules in i 1 regard to the construction of written I ! instruments to vvhcch he very sagely s remarks, no objections can be taken, I [“ that instruments whether of a pub- < lie or private natu re should be con- i 1 strued according t o the intention of ; 1 the framers, and that no word should i be tortured so as to produce a mean- 1 ing contrary to the obvious import \ and original design.” Without con- i testing the propriety at all, of those 1 general principles laid down by the « Court, we are nevertheless very I much disposed to think that they i , have had very little to do in his de- | i cision, but, on the contrary that he i has. most grossly and palpably vio- '■ lated them. At the same time we I do not mean here to be understood. < as impeaching the honesty of his in- ' tention fur placing such a construe- ' , tion upon the Constitution, but, we i deny that his opinion is law, or ac cording to the letter or spirit of the • 'Constitution, For if you will ob ' serve, he soys it is very obvious that ; the fiamers of the Constitution in tended to keep sep irate and distinct • the difference between filling a va ! cancy and declaring one.—Now 1 i should like to be informed by what • process of reasoning, nr by what rule of construction the Court has arriv . ed at this very singular conclusion. , i Hut let ns enquire what are the ma lisons that have been urged which I weigh t in the breast of the Court ~ so as to have brought its mind to this determination. They appear to be *j as* follow ; the terms “ death and • resignation, ’’ are ami w re intended i by the framers of the Constitution as ; controlling expressions. It they : had not been, says the Court trium i phantly, why had they not declared at one*- that the Governor should till . all vacancies it may here be re t; marked that it is fair to infer that the , framers of the Constitution took it r 'upon themselves to determine or de > dare that in the two cases euumerat . ed, namely, “ death and resignation” , that the Executive, should exercise no discretion.iiy power whatever | no power of judgii g whether a va . cancy had been occasioned or not, — f hut that in dm a; tw > c isos, whensoe . ver they m Jit arise, it should be j . held that vacancies had taken place;, i and lin t it should only be tin* duty I t of the Executive under the Consti-1 . tution to fill sue!) vacancies. Tat,, in relation to vacancies happening, “ other wise” than by death or re | signaling, then, ana in sucii case., we ’ do conceive that theConstltuti n h is j , made it the duty of the Governor, to exercise a prudent discretion and to ’ determ ne whether or nut a vacancy I had be n occasioned. , f fom this state of tilings it does appear to us that it the expressions! | “death and resignation” are to be | considered, as judge Clayton con ’ tends, as “ controuliug” or limiting | expressions at id!, it must bo in this . way:—i lie framers of the Consti-j ’ tution in convention assembled, took : I it then upon themselves to coutroul I and limit Executive discretion to ca-i I ses of vacancies w'uich might take place, “ otherwise” than by death or' c resignation : and then and at that | lime,, wiiile tin s : s cuiblcd, claimed j | the right of deciding and so declar ing that whensoever “ death or re-j . Sfgnation should take place, then ' and in that case there should be a va-' | cancy, which it should be the Con r stitutional prerogative ot the Gover nor to fill. And in tins sense and in I no other we accord with the Judge, ‘ , flj at they are “ Cvintrouling and lim , iting” expressions. And again, we do most seriously and candidly cuii-| tend, Judge Clayton’s opinion to the | contrary notwithstanding, that the power of declaring and filling a va-j cancy are not in their nature, separ-J ate and distinct and independent the! one of the < (her; but that the pow-' er of declaring a vacancy is and ought be considered as incidental to! ; the power ot filling a vacancy. Such i , we believe, is the law and such we! believe, is die true intent ami mean ing of the Constitution, it is very ! •eitain that tin; power of judging of, anil rictei mining when a vacancy has taken place in any of tfie offices of state must reside somewhere. I This power we contend has been ve ry wisely confided to the prudent dis-j cretion of the Executive—-else the j power ot Jilhng ;i vacancy about ; which there can be no sort of doubt,! would, as it relates to the Governor, j : be idle and nugatory ; for if the Go- j vernor have not the discretion to say I when an office ha* been vacated, ! would ask to wlia'r branch of tiie go vernment does th, f discretion belong? for it is very certain, as before re marked, that it must l belong some- ! where, Now it must] be verv clear that it either bel/ungs to the Judicia- ■ r y> Legislature i> r Executive branch- 1 es ol the government.—We are strongly inclined to Ithe idea, that . the Judiciary, by the Constitution of the ‘-•ate possess no si/xli power;for 1 we cannot conceive hfow the iucipi- 1 ent stage of a transaction of tills kind : would he brought prfit-perly ‘ before them. —lt v auM ‘to follow that ; ft must be confined, if not t E ■ l.ve at least to Legist, ivp H lion ; but, w e are equally clear " B it never could have becn‘ieten.l,. H the Constitution that xhu 1 by Ip should have been delegated !!i tr B Legislature, -for the followLp I obvious reasons. That the i ■ this doctrine may more satisfactorily appear, we shall apply „„ rrcns()n 2 ■ more particularly, to , he case = ■ Col Hammond. The Legi,| alur * M must have been either called ui ■ t ier, or they must have waited until the regular time of meeting. Pill “ ■ ol whicn, in our opinion, would have ■ been productive of great injury a „j ■ inconvenience. For it will not be B pretended, I presume, that they could H n,ct other wisp, than while in aciu 1 session. If then, while thus assun.. B bled, they had assumed the riidit of I declaring an office under the govern, ment vacant, we are o( opinion that H this would go to the full extent of | wresting from the hands of the Go ■ yernor the right of filing vacancies I in any case save in those two ex- I pressly enumerated, namely “ death I and resignation.*’—For with regard I to vacancies occasioned in any other I way the Legislature, having aright I to declare them while in actual ses- I siun would certainly have the paw* I or, (possessing as they do the I right of original election) to Jill I them, which would entirely do away I the necessity of calling ou the Go- I vernor it all t> exercise that Consti- I jufum .1 right w ith which lie has beep I invested. We will illustrate this I doctrine by supposing a case of set- I tied in nity.—.Low it is to be pre- I same, that if the f ramers of the Con- I stitu n had intended that the Legis- I latu should possess the right of I declaring vacancies in any case©- I tlur than those explicitly mcniiun- I ed in the Constitution the tilling of which appears to have been obvious ly confided to a different branch of the Government) that, it intended that it should possess it in a case of this kind. Put, will it be pretended by even, the devoted friends of Col. Hammond, that if, instead of mak ing an excursion of pleasure to the sea-board he should have hum struck vviih settled and incurable insanity, that tin* Governor, in such a stale of things would not have possessed the power as well of declaring as ui' Jilt ing a vacancy occasioned by such :mi ans : sh< ul.I suppose that it would not. 1 hen, if it be the duly f the Go to lar and Jilt vacancies occ ioned in this pa ticular way, we j conclude that it w ould also be his duty to declare and Jill vacancies oc casioned in any other way—or in other words, by u death resignation or otherwise.”—With this hasty view of die case i shall leave this branch of the subject to the sober and candid consideration of my lei* ! low-citizens. ■ And now with regard to the second | division o( the Judge’s opinion in re j lotion to the propriety of the Secrcv jtary of State appointing a Deputy, ; vve think that there cun be no sort of, doubt, if, contrary to our expecta tions, there should be the slightest i shadow ol a doubt we respectfully refer our readers to a short treatise 1 upon this subject over the signature ■ of “ Common Sense.” As it respects Judge Strong’s opin , ion upon tins subject, vve think that j it is no decision at a!i, and therefore, 1 vve have nothing to say mi her in fa- I vour of it nor against it. For cei lainly with regard to legal decisions he le aves tiie question where he found it, —-it is nevertheless very true, that Mr Whitaker is removed I ami Mr. H ijnmuml is restored, but, really, the absence of every thing : like legal reason, for such a course, renders it in our view undeserving of serious consideration. My fellow-citizens ! I cannot take my final leave of this subject without animadverting somewhat, upon the character and design of the Modern Socrates. Such ishis illiberality and extreme versatility of sentiment that at one moment he denounces the Ju diciary of this State for their great want of talents and greater want of independence, and at another, per haps the very next, compliments, tn very high terms, those very indivi duals to whom his censures were in tended more particularly to apply. This is what we call “ shuffling in ranks,” and reminds us forcibly of the fable of the Fox and the Grapes. It serves likewise to prove to us that he possesses a settled fixedness of soul to pull down the State Admin istration at the risk of all hazards,. We are well persuaded that we ne ver have witnessed, such bold, un heard of, unblushing duplicity. The poison that rankles at the heart and breathes through the productions ol this “ High Driest ”of faction and his a associate in crime,” is vve think; sufficient to condemn him in the eyes of all honest men as accessary to. midnight convocations,—as a coad jutor in inflating dtp passions and prejudices of men, —as tlve stirrer-up. of private animosities and personal dislike—m a word, as the “ mover of sedition and outrage.”—This “ Saint in Morality” in the pleniMif.jp of his goodness, in the right (Jo.wfl honcstjf.
