Wo arc indebted to the politeness of the Post faster of this city, for the following information, Icccivcd by last evening’s Western mail: “CoLUMgr s, June Btb, 183(5. The Steam Boat Mctamora, has this moment tirrived from Apalachicola, anil reports, that when about five miles above Roanoke, the Indians com menced an attack from the Western bank of tlio liver, and continued firing on the Boat, until . she was able to make a landing, when they dis appeared. The Mctamora lias on board three Companies of troops from Irwinlon, Alabama, and Randolph and Stewart counties, in this State. They landed, but could find no Indians, After searching for a short lime, they re-embarked, and continued up the river, when they were again fired upon. The Boat, however, was enabled to keep on, and has this moment arrived. She has on board five men wounded, three dangerously, and two slightly. I have jusf returned from the Boat and you can see the marks of balls all around her.” Another letter of the same date states that there were no envelopes found in the possession of Bhoad, who is charged with robbing the mail, or any thing which would tend to criminate him, but the driver is willing to swear that he saw him at the time the stage was attacked and knew him. The same letter states that “ Gen. Jessup left Columbus-on the 4th, for Tuskegce, accompanied •’ ty 100 men. He takes command, I understand, of the Alabama forces. Gen, Scott is here eon = fined to his room by indisposition.” •Mil. KING, OP GEORGIA.

Mr. King of Georgia. —This gentleman ex ■- hibited yesterday in the Senate one of the best i. examples of independent manliness which we _ have witnessed for years in the ranks of his party, i, in either House of Congress. The Fortification .t Bid was up on its third reading. Mr. K. after s admitting the propriety and necessity of fortifying 1 particular points, in the neighborhood of popu ,, lons cities, spoke with unusual eloquence and y pathos against th ■ present extravagant system of defence, which this Bill is designed to promote and extend. Flo said he had become jealous of f the present course and aspect of things. He did ■ not like this rapid increase of the frowning of for* 1 tifications, and blackening of cannon over the | country. And though not accustomed to proph . csy, he ventured to predict, that if these os i tcnsibly defensive measures should be permitted to go on at the rale they aro'now doing, the time is not far dislant when the country would be f bristling witii die bayonets of a tyrant; a corpo nil’s guard would be more respected than the I Chief Justice of the country ; and these very for . tifications would be made the grave-yards of liber ty” AV A LIRE’S PORT POLIO, , And Companion to the .S'. Circulating Library, 1 lie last No. received of Ibis highly valuable and interesting work, is accompanied by a very beautiful and exquisitely-finished engraving of Capt, Mahbtat, author of Peter Simple, Jacob faithful, &c. &c. at full length, with a facsimile of his signature. The prolific pen of Captain Maubvat has added much to the interest of the “Library and "“Companion,K and the elegant portrait in question is therefore an appropriate embellishment of those excellent works, which, it affords us pleasure to slate, still maintain all their usual interest and value; and more could scarcely ho said of them, for it would bo difficult, even for the excellent taste and judgment of their enlerprising and indefatigable publisher, to enhance that value and interest, in the space al lowed to him. PUBLIC MEETING. Rookeusville, 30th May, 1836. At a meeting of the citizens of this place, on the 23d inst., for the purpose of making arrange ments for the celebration of the 61st Anniversary of American Independence, Major War, 11. Beck was called to the Chair. The meeting being" organized, and the object of it being known, they proceeded to elect Orators, &c. which rc sulled as follows: V. J,, G. Haiibis and War. B. White, Eaqrs. Orators, and Robeut McMil lan and Judge H. M. Barrett, Readers of the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitu tion of the United States; and Committees were appointed to draft toasts, and also to make arrange ments for the celebration—the latter to meet as soon as they had made the arrangements neces sary. They melon the 30thinstant and reported that Dr. Gibbs had been employed to furnish a Dinner on that day, at this place ; when, on mo tion, it was unanimously agreed, that the dinner should be given free, and the Revolutionary Soldiers, Ladies, and citizens generally, of the county, he invited, by the Secretary giving notice by advertisement, at different places in said coun ty, and in the Augusta Chronicle and Southern Whig; and that ho should invite the citizens of Elbcrton especially, to participate with us on that occasion, and notify Major Beveuly Alien, that he had been elected President of the day, and Simeon Oliveii, Jas. Lofton, and Sinolb ton W. Allen, Esqrs. and Col. Thus. J. Heard, Vice Presidents, end Taos. J. Bowman, Maishnl of the day. After sonio discussion, Ardent Spirits were thought by the citizens to be unnecessary, and the meeting adjourned, until the Secretary should call a meeting again. AMOS W. HAMMOND, Sec’ry. MR. PINCKNEY’S REPORT. We publish to-day, the first part of this Re port, and shall conclude it in our next, so that the whole of it will be contained in the weekly pa per of Saturday. That it is a bettor report than wc expected, we freely confess, containing as it docs an able argument against the justice, pro priety, and expediency of abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia, and wo migni say, against tile Constitutionality of it, also, for all its arguments tend plainly to this end, and are i based, clearly, and sometimes expressly, not only on the spirit and principles, but even letter of the Constitution! The grounds and arguments of the report arc not new, hut industriously selected, 1 and well arranged ; and as the reader will perceive, i they are precisely those used, from the first, to | . shew, and prove, as they clearly do, the uncon- j j stilulionality of any interference on the part of | Congress, with Slavery in the District of Colum- | bia 1 The clearness and directness of these ar-' , guments, even as used by Mr. Pinckney, against the existence of any constitutional right in Congress, to abolish Slavery in the District, is { suc h, that the reader cannot possibly avoid seeing | ] their hearing to Chat effect, from the beginning to 1 the end of his remarks on the District brancli of ) the subject; and in this is developed, strongly, s the vile treachery of the writer—shelving as it , does, beyond a doubt, that he believes it uncon -0 stilutional to abolish slavery in the District, and 1 yet is bent on merging all the argument to that effect, in a question of expediency, and thereby t sacrificing the plain constitutional rights of his i onstituents to the ever-varying mill, and policy, , and expediency, of the majority in Congress. , The constitutional basis of all his arguments is i so evident, that if he were only to use the term i. violation, or breach, of the Constitution, ■; where he uses that of “violation (or breach) of j the rrnr.tr yaith,” the whole would be perfectly I, | consistent and natural ; while, as it is, it must he . clear, even to the dullest reader, that he wilfully evades the wo ids constitution, constitutional, unconstitutional, See, wherever they properly apply, and is often hard pressed for ingenuity • enough to effect this’vicious purpose. This will be far more evident in the succeeding part of his ’ argument; and in publishing it wc shall probably 1 refer to this matter again. It is so evident, so clear and palpable, that had we ever doubted Mr. ‘ Pinckney’s wilful wickedness and treachery , before, we could not now; and wc despise and , , abhor, now, more than ever, the base impudence j 1 and effrontery, which could thus brave the inlelli- gent, and attempt to delude the ignoiant, with , such palpable Jesuitical sophistry, evasion, and I deception. | His arguments, too, on the first branch of the j- subject, are scarcely less vicious, deceptive, and I treacherous. He rejoices that "the great body ■ of the people of the non-slaveholding States ! have come forward to sustain their constitutional obligations to their Southern brethren, and to 1 arrest the disturbances of the public peace”— 1 (while no portion of them has resorted to any 1 tiling but mere -words, and the Abolitionists have continued to increase) —and also, “ particularly , that the Federal Legislature has interposed its warning voice,” Ac. through Ids own monstrous and unparralleled treachery —a “voice” that strips us of our constitutional rights, and places alt that is dear to us at the mere will and mercy of that reckless majority, which lie, as much as any one, lias taught us to fear, and urged us to . guard against. While he “considers the move ments of the Abolitionists as fraught with incal culable evil to the slave-holding Slates,” he would fain lull them into a false security, to suit bis temporary purposes, by telling them that “the strength of the agitators has been greatly exag gerated, by themselves and others;” and meanly cants about “ their right of petition,'’ and there by of denouncing his constituents as “pirates, man-stealers,” &c. He is “thoroughly satisfied that the course adopted by the House [in strip . ping “the slave-holding sections” of their most valuable constitutional right and safeguard,] will produce a stale of public opinion and feeling in the non-slavebolding Stales, eminently favo rable to the constitutional rights anil interests of the slave-holding sections of the Union.”— The false, treacherous caitiff! how impudently he lies in the very teeth of all reason and com mon sense 1 His argument in support of the Resolution, “That Collgicss possesses no constitutional au • thotily to interfere in. any way with the institu tion of slavery in any of the States of this Con federacy,” is a tissue of the veriest nonsense and inconsistency that it has over boon our lot to witness. Ho says that bo “will merely allude to this proposition, iu obedience to the express di rection given by the House’’—as though ashamed, as he well may be, of introducing such a propo sition, and disposed to throw all the just blame and impropriety of it on “tho House,” itself— when it is well known, that he, himself, first in troduced it. and that the Van Buren majority of the House adopted it, with tho others, only in accordance with his wish, and of course as one of the moans whereby he was to sustain his treachery to his constituents, and desertion to them —“for tho purpose” indeed, of giving him an opportunity “of entering into any argument respecting it,” which he might deem likely to sustain his purpose. “ The House,” however, has a “broad back,” abler, perhaps, than his own, to carry this iniquity, and which has in its time carried many, of monstrous size and weight, or he himself wilfully lied when he so frequently said so. “Unquestionably,’* he says, “if there is any political or constitutional principle, which tho people of tho U. States consider as settled, beyond all possible dispute or controversy, it is, that the institution of Slavery, as it exists in tho States of this Confederacy, is municipal, not national, and belongs exclusively to the States, and can only be affected by State Legislation.”—Well; now, If this be the ease, and the matter is really “ settlei(, beyond all possible dispute or contro versy,” where was the use, as has been again and again urged, of thus unsettling it—making it, al together gratuitously, a matter of “dispute and controversy”—and misehcvoUsly creating doubts, where none existed before I—ls it be a “munici pal, not national” question, why thus make it a “national” one 1 If it “belongs exclusively to the States," why take it thus nui „r 1.. and introduPb it into Congress? And if it “can only be affected by State Legislation,” why at tempt thus to affect it by Federal Legislation ? Again: “Thesubject of Slavery in tho Stales, is not an open question, or matter of debate.” [ True ; and why, then, attempt thus to make it ; so 1 “’l'hc fact, that Congress possesses no aulhori j ty whatever to legislate respecting it, is one that can neither be s'.rcnglhencifc by argument, nor j made clearer by discussion.”—True ; and why, i then, gratuitously make it a matter of “argument” and “ discussion t” In addition to this, too, though he declares the matter to be ‘‘settled, beyond all possible dispute [ or controversy,'’ and that it “is not an open ques tion,” and “can only be affected by Slate Legis lation,” lie tells us that “Tho declaration, which the House has solemnly and decidedly made upon this point, cannot fail to produce the most bene ficial results” ! I —lndeed, exclaims the astonished reader; why, if your first propositions be correct, or are believed by yourself, how can this li», and what can possibly be those 'results ’!—Why, an -1 svvers tho traitor, “as the Abolitionists care little i for tho emancipation in the District, except as . the precursor of a far more extended and general i scheme, the presumption is, that having now no i possible hope of Governmental interference with , the States, and seeing the more than probable f j consequences of the exercise of such a power if 1 • it were possessed, they will discontinue their machinations in relation to the District.” Aye, but, says the still incredulous reader, you forgot, that in afterward attempting to sustain your course by precedent, you shew us that the House Adopted a Similar, and equally strong Resolution, to that now olljircd by yourself, in 1770, and un i der precisely similar circumstances; and yet, notwithstanding that, “from that period to the present,” as you declare yourself, “the Abolition ists have steadily aimed at general emancipation.” Now, if such a Resolution had no effect what ever, then, when the Abolitionists were, in reali- I ty, ‘few and feeble,* how can it reasonably be expected to have any now, when they are many, a ml,Strong I—“ But,” responds the hypocrite, “be the issue what it may, the House of Representa tives has done its duty, by placing tjiis solemn declaration on record.”—Pardon me, responds the reader; you, yourself, declare “that Congress possesses no constitutional authority to inleiAbro in any may” for, that it “is not an open question,” hut a “municipal, not a national” one, and be longs exclusively to the Slates, and can only be affected by Stale Legislation.” How, then, can it be the “duty” of the House to ‘interfere in this way,” “open the question,” make it a “na tional one, and subject it to Federal Legisla tion?—Why, says the posed traitor—finding that his course, like his subject, “is one that can neith er be strengthened by argument, nor made clearer by discussion”—“it is not only peculiarly proper in itself, considering (he present stale of the Abolition question, but if any justification were necessary, it is amply justified by precedent.”— Yet his own precedent shews its utter folly and inutility, and all his arguments, that it is “pecu liarly improper iu itself.” roil THE AUGUST A CHRONICLE.
