A friend informs us he lias been told, that the ’t. highest part of the Charleston Kail-road from *,-J§ ground, is Id feet, and not 30, as stated in dpt letter. We obtained our information of the Knight, as we passed over it, from a gentleman, Sflio is, xye believe, a member ofthe Company, d|>d who, in politely answering our questions,and ; (hose of another person by him, replied to a quos , (Inn from the other, as to the height, “30 feet,” i as we understood him; hut, rather doubting that : It wasao high—though we should have supposed it much above 13 feet—we observed, enquiring , ly, “30 feel,” and he replied,yes. The similarity of sound between 30 and 13, and the rattling of the carat the time, may have caused us to mis take the former for the latter, and him, the latter ibr tiie former, when wo used il; and if there he an error in the statement, il must have occurred ; in this way. We shall he obliged to any one of , oor edlto:ial brethren in Charleston, who will . act us right m this matter, beyond n doubt. ||THifc SUPREME COURT DECISION. ’ 1 A gentleman who passed th.ough this city, from ' Sl.a wieOcevillc, a few days ago, stated that Mr. Chkster, one of the Counsel fur the Cbcrokees. had arrived in lint place before his departure, A whWi the Gwinnett County Court was silling, with the mandate of the Supremo Court, and moved, before Judge Douhukrty, that the is " sionaneß should he discharged, and the man ' date entered upon record in the Court—both of L;| which motions were argued by Mr. Chester, 4, Judge Underwood, and some one else whose £ name wo have forgotten, ami both refused by m the Judge; when Mr. C. departed immediately p for Washington, with the hope of an iving,there before the S. Court adjourned.—This is confirm ed by lelteis, which state that Mr. C. was ex pected lo reach Washington by the “Ist inst. [the (Court adjourned on the 17th] and that the people of the up-country, and wherever heutd * from, arc greatly excited, and prepared to pro ceed any length in opposition to the decision. CORRECTION. The assertion of the the “slop-tub," that “ he happens lo know more on this subject [his “informant’s” changes of opinion in relation to the U. S. Bank] than the editor of the Chroni cle,’’ is false, as his informant will tell him, if he will ask him. The same “ principal tea ion” for his voting lolay the resolutions against the Bunk on the table, ho mentioned to us, im mediately after his return from Milledgeville; Ibid it was on his information, 100, that we published, at the time, that we learned born Mil ledgeville, that the resolutions wore opposed by many, who were opposed to the rechartering of the Bank, on the ground that it was inexpedient to instruct our Senators and Representatives on the subject, who were presumed to be already - sufficiently acquainted with public opinion in re lalion lo it. But, even though we had not been so informed, the fact alluded to by the “slop tub," would not at all conflict with the va.ions changes of opinion on the part of his “informant” to which wc referred—all of which, as his “infor mant ” can tell him, took place before the vote in question, and before wc left M.llcgc yille though he, himself, can softly swear, by his irit, to the contrary —anil, also, that we were “in Milledgeville (as he says) during fro whole session,” though we left there near ly a month Ufo eil closed—and with equal taft ly, too, that “ the information he gave to the public, hut been opposed, fiorn first to last, be pauso he was the channel sf its communication. the “»lop-tu».” "Cudgel nut thy mall brains, frond: for your dull ass w itl not mend his pace by halms." Mr. “Jeroboam Qoliah” of the Couner-(wc ber pardon— Doctor “Jeroboam GoUah”-f«>r, like his worth brother of the gallipot, Doctor Ollapod, he is a Doctor, par courtesy—heaven save the mark !)-has long set himself up before ibis community, as a wit—and till bis wit, o) itself, has long since sot him down again, even lower in the scale of willing intellects than where ho started from. Yet. melancholy fact! his wit is always bis last retort, and he seems tc be always fully aware of it: for tho’ it nevei fa,ls to trip up his heels, and throw him into tlx suds —yea, into tho very “slop-tub,” itselt-yet for lack of something better, he never fads to re sort to it, again, and again.

Here ic il is > in ,ot °. at) d we present it to our readers as n too precious a specimen ofthe self-styled “slop r. tub, lobe withheld from their admirimi eves* te , . o j “ Tlil* Editor ofthe Chronicle always reminds us of a )( little dosr NVf*. have—the mriKiesi liJle devil we ever saw— it cominu.dly b,nc, ivoir, unit, at every thinp he sees—you would think him a terrible Hoar; hut hr never bites. \Ve B sometimes kick him out of our way ; hut most generally tolerate, ftr amusement, his exhibhions of a-aliunani ill naiure.

It would have bcmi Ihe same tiling, whether he had read or not the remarks, which he criticises witii such grainmalii'al acum n. We ••'hull not, therefore, find limit with hint lor so important an omission. All his tirade, is bottomed on the a- umplioii, lhai ut said (hat he said that “ all the Georgians in Char leston heartily approve .* the proceedings of the Conven tion.” However accurate lie may consider his own ex pression, its ambiguity Ibrmed no reafion f*r any remark we made.

It seems that he first took himself for “a robber, or an assassin;" but “was very agreeably surprised l" find that he was nothing but a slap-tub." O, thou moat cou-. tern; tilde of all shallow pretenders to wit! Why thine own wit hath converted thee into a “slop- Tim”!!!— a most apt and genuine conclusion, truly, but hoi so on account of its wit; for that seems to be in about the sumo predicament as the knight’s honor, of whom Touchstone re marked, “he swore hy his honor they wore good pancakes, and the mustard was naught; but still; the pancakes were naught, and tho mustard | good, arid yet was nut he forsworn.” By the | hy, the wit of this self-styled “ slap-tub ” would j he an excellent and convenient thing for him to j swear by; for, tho’ he should swear by his wit, to the truth of everything he utters, and everything he utters be false, still would Ire not he for- j sworn. How safely, for instance, might he so , swear, that we misrepresented his quotation of j our remark in relation to the Georgians present j at tho Charleston Convention —that “he does, not doubt that all bis ‘lnformant’ and others told him, is perfectly true”—that our “long letter on I the Kail Road, has hut two assertions in it that i are true”—that the reason the “little dog,” or ’ any other dog, “never biles ” him, is not becauso j he has taken care never lo give him an opportu-; nity—that he is not a “slop tub,” hut a gentle j m , in —and that when he used the terms, “robber, assassin, and slop tub," as they apply to him-, self, he “meant not as the Chronicle pretends to j understand him,” but simply to say, dog mall-, call), “I am Sir O.acle, and when 1 speak, let no dug bark.” THE “INFORMANT.” A writer in the last Courier, without signature, 1 hut whom, from his remarks, we are bound to I 1 believe is tire Courier’s “ informant,” lays be ; tore the public an article of which the following , • is a copy : 1 " To the Editur of the Georgia Courier. , SiK—lvnml me nilßUjii jour columns to assure the [•:,liter Ui ill, Una,Hide, iliut if Iris Win,loll, miw an an «- - !,!(• ami untniva ii,r remarks npnin-l your ' inlnrnmni, > (hr wlint warn iinioc, n'ty eommuniciuecl m relation to no ( I,art,--ion Convention, Imve iillonlcd lata any iil'-.a-mo Hriuifici Ron, or can raise trim m the eHimatioli oj Ihr rommunity, m Hirer is envied him. lu ‘ “ s known, mat they are graceiessly auiied mat J ■ one, wlni has been always recognized a- »nm« 4 h "* /«“ ncrs'iml friends—Who on more than one nrrasum, holdly - ind II art!

Much of this he has said to others. Ami j to one gentleman, to whom he denied the first statement made for him in the Cornier, he pro mised, that ho would go to tint editor, and have it corrected in the next pai c— -ml stated pro fessedly to do so; and yet,'.he u-.\;.v.ateinent not' only reiterated the first, tint gave possible, iu still more offensive terms. lie lakes merit to himself for having been j among our “few personal friends”—“ boldly and j fearlessly advocated our cruse, amidst our dilh oulties and troubles”—“ and recently used what little influence he possessed, iu rescuing from destruction, by our powerful and prominent en unties, that liouor and reputation which wc now | hold so dear, and sacred.” Ho sa)s loo,! j “ Heaven forbid, however, that he should oven ‘now attempt, or seek to tarnish them.” Why, j . tkyu.ifiitUmtrthm contained in the friends may he, they are good and true, and have - neither been purchased, courted, or flattered; into their o icUifsliip; and on humble station, li-j mited means, and utter inability lo compensate ; it, are tho best evidence of its sincerity.

And, among our past enemies, or at least those who have been taught to think ill of us, are men who .have voluntarily stepped forward, and admitted | the errors or injustice of their former opinions, & aro now among our warmest aud firmest friends.

Did he “ fearlessly arid boldly advo cate our. cause,” becauso of his friendship, i merely, or because he thought it just? If the I latter, then il was due to justice itself, and ho | ; did no more than is his duty to any just cause. | And if the former, not believing it just, then ; was he willing to sacrifice justice and truth to . friendship; and this we boldly declare that wo, ■ourselves, would not do for any friendship, nor ! expect it of any friend, and that we should ro t g. ect any friend the loss, who would do it for us, lor any one. Wo wish not lo be understood as : contemning the friendship, honest good opinion, or advocacy, of him,or any one else. Wo stoop or cr ouch not for the friendship or lavor ol any one, whatever be bis power, influence, or station; but yet there lives not a man so humble, whose ! honest good opinion we arc not proud of, whoso courtesy wo would not cordially reciprocate, aud whose friendship or advocacy we should not ! fVel sincerely grateful for; but, when we are told of any one “rescuing our horror aud reputation, we owe it to ourselves to say, that we fee) conscious they have ever rescued themselves, ; A ever will do. “The blood of Douglass will pro ■ lect itself;” and when, that its “honor or reputa- I lion” was assailed, have its friends had cause to blush for it, or its enemies to triumph?

Il is very evident that some of the facts which | I offered lo lire editor for consideration, in my last communication, came home upon him ; for jit is plain,fi oin his remarks, that he evinces every symptom of one who is very sensibly bitten. But enough of this. The editor says “ Jusliliu, a writer in this morning’s Chronicle, calls An drew P. Butler and Waddy Thompson, the Do rnoslhenes and Cicero of South Carolina.

Like liim. I say, “ that j no aet ol Gen.

Unix had done too much to ho suspected. I assure “ A Citizen ” ( that I was not prompted hy any political motive, , and that niy object was not to elevate one party , ou the ruins of another; and that my opinion , was not made in the “the heat ofpolitical strife.” I have long entertained the same opinion of the r man who “ sold his birth-right for a mess of pot- „ tngo.” An attempt lo defend the character of Gen.

Tho American people 0 are satisfied; and, as a reward for the deeds of , valor to the soldier of '7O, have suffered him lo c descend to his grave in peace. I do assure (] “ A Citizen” that no one respects more than I do the memory of those patriots, who in the ( hour which tried mens souls, so freely shed their ( blood iu tho sacred cause of liberty and hide- i pendence. My reason fur alluding to tho man who had gained so many laurels for his country, and whose deeds bad elevated him so high in the estimation of his countrymen, and who by one siirg-o act ol his, forced them to pronounce , him a traitor and a coward, was lo point out the STX.II, ami of Iho lunguuge wtiii.lt ha vttotl at the , moment when tho Americans had the strongest reason to bolievo that our arms had been sold to the enemy at Detroit—and to point out tho reck i hiss attempt which ho has lately made lo prove I his patriotism to tho American people, hy giv , lug his vote against a gentleman, as'our Minister i to the Court of St. James, whose republican principles never have been doubted---and of his . determination to oppose tho present administrn - lion, right or wrong, and to detract from the ho i roof New O,leans, his well earned fame. V. FOB THK AI’OTJPTA CHRONICLE. j Mr. Editor:—ln proposing to answer,through the medium of your paper, tho solicitations of many friends, to publish an (recount ol the late > extraordinary events of unfortunate Poland, I must claim, besides the usual indulgenoios, the a groat difficulties of arriving at well authenticated . fuels, amidst tho revolution of a country, tho dilv * fcjctrcn of languages, and the distance which f separates us from the field of action. Conscious Ii of these impediments to positive information, I - would not now offer to improve an occasional , leisure hour, in committing lo writing my reflec a lions on this interesting aud melancholy subject, were I not certain, that the grossest errors have li been committed, and disseminated in this coun y try, as well as in G. cat-Britaio and I ranee, with r respect to those events—and wore I not satisfied y that any thing relative to the brave, the magnan imous, and the generous Pole, would he favora* i, ; hlv received in America. The reader cannot expect to find, at the pro* ' sent day, a full and correct history of the Polish revolution, commenced the 31)th of Noveinboi „ 1830, and terminated, hy the taking of Warsaw ° the Bth of Heiitemher, and the surrender ol the iV * fortress Zamosc, on the With ol October, 18.11, This interesting period will, no doubt, soon he ~ faithfully represented hy tho historian. Until, ,1 however, that time arrives, the readers of the II Chronicle may be interested by what 1 have ( , r seen and heard, of the mighty efforts of this - people, to regain that which had been politically » and most arbitrarily taken from them —liberty r ; t and independence. I I cannot promise much system, or order, in my ~| communications; neither would I raise expeotu lions which cannot bo gratified. To correct or some errors, to give some information, to relate a( some interesting anecdotes, and to present Po |,| land, and tho Pole, in their true colours, to tho Jt American public, is my object, and nothing else. !

Stales, Ait. 3rd. Sec. 2nd. •Haase Ist, The Supreme Court of tho United States, it the case of Worcester against the Stale ofGeor —M—— gia, proposes, very properly, to examine ii« right of jurisdiction over tho case, before enter ing upon the merits of the controversy. But, it. the execution of this intention, it stops at the very point which we deem to ho the pivot of the question. ft brings the case within the scop,, of the celebrated “Judiciary act,” and seen,-, perfectly satisfied to rest it there. Not so our, solves. That act we hold to ho, in some of its parts, ns unconstitutional as any which Georgia over has, or could put forth; and it is our prosen', purpose to state tiro reasons which have induced such a conclusion. Referring to (be constitutional extract at the head of this article, tho reader will discover that, the judicial power of tho United States is per mitted to extend, to “ all cases in law and equi ty, arising under the constitution, laws and trea, lies of the United Slates.’' J.at us be careful to roiiinrk that this power extends, not to the con* stitution, laws, or treaties of tiro United Stales, except Tcnchf.it through the form of “case* in , law and njuity," Neither is it permitted to ex | tend to “ eases in law and equity,’’ arising under any constitution, laws, and treaties, other that) those of the United States ; with, however, tin) | following exceptions—“ Cases, affecting ambas -1 sudors, other public ministers, and consuls; and " Casks of admiralty mid maritime jurisdiction.’’ Lot tho cases, thus excepted, arise under amj constitution, law or treaty, whether or not in the form of a “ case in law and equity,” and still, the judicial power of tho United Stales will ex tend to thorn. Not so, however, the former ca sks. Os them, tho constitution requires two things—they must ho “ cases, in law and cqux tijand, they must arise under tho constitution, laws, or treaties, of the United Slates. Ho much for the jurisdiction of the Supremo Court over cases. Now, to every case, thorn must be parties, plaintiff and defendant. Did the constitution stop hero, the judicial power might extend to every proper case, without re gard to the characters of the parties litigant, This' would he a dangerous power; as, fur in stance, a citizen might bring his own State to tho federal bar, and thus, at one blow, reduce a so vereign Stale to a more corporation. The Con. stitution wisely, therefore, limits tho jurisdiction of tho federal court a little further. It doclurflf tho pahties, as well as the cases, over whom tho com t shall have jurisdiction. Among the parties mentioned, we find “ n Stale, and citizens u another State;” hut, lest sonie ihould suppose this clause designed to permit the arraignment of a sovereign Stale before the Supremo Courts by an individual of another Stale, (a supposition which the *• Federalist” denied at tho outset,) the following precautionary amendment was af terwards added to the constitution—“ The judi cial power of the United States shall not he con strued to extend to any suit in law or equity, rmrcn-tsi.M, nr*wciitad against one of lha by citizens or subject* of any foreign State.• Amendments, Artiile 11 th. Here, doubtless, the reader is disposed to ask, how does the Supremo Court obtain jurisdiction over a case such us Worcester against the Statu of Georgia 7 Tho court answers this question, “ from an act of Congress.” Out, is not this act a violation of the amendment just quoted I No, says the court, this case was not “ commenc ed or prosecuted," by Worcester against tho Slate of Georgia: it is an appeal: merely a con til,nation of the original case; although, for mero form sake, the citizen comes before us us plain tiff, lie is, in reality, still defendant. To this reasoning, wo have one simple, brief reply. If this particular case is the one which was “ commenced or prosecuted by the Stale of Georgia ngaiugt Worcester, it did not arise un der the constitution, laws, or treaties of the Uni ted Stales; hut, under the laws of Georgia. If it is not that case, it is a new case, consequently, one beyond the control of tho Supremo Court, AN INQUIRER. MAIUttBD. .
