THE GLOBE—Amid the general subservien

lines-, from one end of this continent to the other,
it is particularly agreeable to meet with suchi an
article as the following. We copy it from The
Globe ” a newspaper established at Waslungton
Citv The Editor tells members of Congress
plamly and flatly what lie thinks of their conduct.
We liope the people will duly reward indepen

Lot them look to it.
From the Globe.
-Last year, in compliance with the wishes and
expectations of those who had elected him, Gen.
Jackson, in his Message to Congress, recommen
ded such an amendment of the Constitution as
should, in all events, exclude the election of 1 res
ident and Vice President from the House of Rip-
resentatives, a«4 give it directly to the people.
“ The recommendation passed unheeded.
“This year he renews the same rccommenda-
tion. If we may judge from the present appear
ances, it will again pass unheeded,"
“Where sleeps the zeal for this amendment
which was so animated previous to the late Presi
dential election? Where are the PATRIOTS
who then attempted so much, without hope, that
they do not now come forward when there is hope t
Were their principles nothing but professions .
Was it their only object, by seizing on a popular
theme, to produce effect upon the pending election,
without nny real design or desire to promote the
reforms which they promised ? Was their ooject
accomplished when Mr. Adams was defeated, and
are they now willing to avail themselves IN F U

“The peoplf* wore sincere, if their leaders were
not. General Jackson was sincere, it some of lus
supporters were not.” , , c r< ..
“ It is to be regretted that the silence of Con
gress on this interesting subject has exposed the
motives of the former advocates of amendment to
injurious imputations.”
“ The ground of imputation upon the motives oj
Congress, is made stronger by the fact that, pas
sing over this twice repeated recommendation,
they have taken up another of secondary impor
tance, and proposed so to amend the Constitution
as to prohibit the re-election of any 1 resident for
a second term. That our system of government
would be more perfect if this were made a funda
mental principle, we have no doubt; and it• slrnll
have our hearty support. Rut, 1' OR THE HON-
OR OK CONGRESS, wc could have wished that
it had been proposed under different circumstances,
and in a different shape. It should have appeared
in company with a proposal to take the election of
President from the House, in the last resort, and
secure it, under nil circumstances, to the people
-themselves. It should have been prospective.
“In this unjust and extraordinary feature of the
amendment alone, do Congress expose their motives
to imputation l It may already he said that they
agitated the amendment giving the election of
President and Vice-President to the people, mere
ly for the purpose of creating excitement and de
feating Mr. Adams. It may hereafter he said, that
this amendment is proposed with its retrospective
feature, mere! v to drive old IIlekory, the candidate of
the people, from the field, and make way for anoth
er Congressional election. It may be suspectci,
that ASPIRING MEN, who have friends in Con
gress, who arc impatient of delay, and who know
they cannot brat General Jackson in a contest 'W or *.
the people, wish to legislate him out of the list oj
candidates, as the only mode ol opening the path
to THEIR AMBITION through Congress.
“We regret that room should he gu’en for sus
picion. But what can the people Hunk? Mere
they not told before the last presidential election,
that their constitution ought to be so amended as
to give them the election of their two highest ma
gistrates, and take it in any event from Congress ?

SUGAR TRADE.
A great and increasing interest seems to prevail
in several large cities in favor of reducing the du
ty on Sugar ( and journals known to be devoted to
tile Tariff, frankly admit, that the tax upon this ar
ticle should be reduced or repealed. M’o are not
surprised at this. The people begin to look into
the necessity which imposes these burdens, falling
i peculiarly heavy upon an article of necessity,
and they are met at once, not only by a full Treas
ury, but by questions as to the direction of the
surplus revenue upon the payment of the national
debt. No people on earth are more willing to sus
tain the government in times of exigency than the
citizens of this country. They cheerfully paid ev
ery direct tax required to carry on the late war, and
in the same ratio that this putriotic spirit prevails,
should the measures of Congress bo directed to
relieve them from unnecessary imposts or extrav
agant taxation; because, where relief can be affor
ded without injury to the public good, it should bo
tendered uncalled for—as all paternal governments
consider it a first duty to relieve the subject or cit
izen from the payment of taxes not demanded by
the pressure of the times.
What is the tax on sugar? And how does the
question stand ?
It is calculated, from correct sources, that the
consumption of sugar in the United States amounts
try, as cheap as it can bo raised in the West In*
dies and Brazil, is altogether impossible. It is ren
dered so by tlm laws ofnature, which man cannot
control. The Wise Disposer of events has or
dained that intercourse shall subsist between dis
tant countries, and this is brought about by their
mutual dependence. This mutual dependence is
visible in nothing more clearly than in the varied
productions of the West Indies and the United
States. The former, with a given quantity of lubor,
can raise fifty dollars worth of sugar and only five
dollars worth of grain. The letter with a given
quantity oflabour, can raiso fifty dollars worth of
grain, and o«iy five dollars, perhaps only one dol
lar’s worth of sugar. Con any thing, therefore, be
more unnatural or more senseless, than to interfere
and prevent so beneficial an interchange of com
modities ? Even Louisiana, with nil her advanta
ges, cannot raise, with the same labor, .one hall ol
the sugar that can be raised in the West Indies;
and, consequently, the farmers of the western coun
try who send their produce to that State, do not get
for it half the quantity of sugar that they could in
the West Indies, if the restrictive system would al
low them to do it.
Of all the existing burdens on the people of this
country, the taxon sugar is one of tile most unjust
and cruel. Sugar is nil article which adds more to
the enjoyment of life than any other single article,
bread, meat and salt excepted, that enters into our
consumption. We become acquainted with it in
ourcradles. It forms a most important item in our
comlbrts during childhood in furnishing us with
sugar candy, sweet meats, sugar-plums, pies, pud-
to 140,000,000 pounds, and that (>0,000,000 of this | dings, and cakes. W e have it at our breakfast, and
are imported: on the amount imported a duty of at our tea. Y oung and old, rich and poor, like to
three cents per pound is paid. We manufacture in tasto of it daily ; and were it not for existence

pounds which they produce, tlm sum of *3.100,000, | the lace of the earth at this day nP^ldej stupid,
and on our whole consumption 81,300,000! This except ourselves, who would deliberately enact
J —a:-i- -r! laws declaring that, although it is possible to pur
chase a hundred pounds of sugar at three dollars, no
man shall he allowed to purchase it for less than six
dollars. And for what reason ? For none other in
the world except to make a few rich men richer.
Can this be a Government of the people, instituted
by the people, for the benefit of the people ? Is it
not rather a burlesque upon the right of self-gov
ernment ? To us it appears to be really so ; and it
cannot but be a source of painful reflection to all who
under stand the actual posture of affairs, that whilst
oil monorchial Kurope is regenerating, and throw
ing off’the antiquated shackles by which the people
is an enormous amount of tax upon an article of
necessity, which twenty states in the union pay, to
benefit the remaining four in which sugar is manu
factured ; nay, not four, because Georgia and Mis
sissippi were in favor of repealing the duty. It
may be said therefore, that, in effect, the American
people pay for the benefit of Louisiana and Ala
bama alone, a tax on sugar equal to four millions
of dollars annually! Under those circumstances
it is natural enough that these state's may desire to
continue that tax, but it is very unreasonable that
other states should consent to it.

Let us go a little further into our calculations on j digtinctioll between the great parties in this conn-
this interesting subject. A good quality of Ala-
tanzas sugar may be obtained at that place for
*3 2.T perjoo lbs., an inferior quality at $1 35, or
one and a quarter cents per pound. If we take
the highest of the two prices, and add the cost of
boxes, the sugar may he had at a little less than
three cents per lb.—the amount wc pay in duty u-
lone; what then is the actual cost to our consumers ?
Add duty, freight, commission, transportation, pro
fits, iyc. it amounts to *7 75 per 100 lbs., which the
consumer pays—whereas for exportation, drawback
off, it costs 81 75. In other words, if the duty on
sugar is repealed, or reduced tu one cent, a family
wifi purchase the article for domestic use fur five
cents per lb. instead of eight, or with the profit of
the grocer, for ten cents.
It is an admitted fact, that a great portion of the
laboring class of our country, and some farmers,
use tea and coffee at their three meals—conse
quently, sugar is an indispensable article at cacti,
and the saving may be easily calculated.
There is another point of view in which the sub
ject is worthy of consideration. It is supposed that
the West India planters and merchants may owe a inumuoi »■ u.u 'if „„„

distinction between tile groat parties in this coun
try was pretty plainly marked—nearly all the advo
cates of unlimited and uncontrolled power in the
General Government, on the one side—and nearly all
the advocates of a strict construction—freedom of
speech and of the press, on tile other.
By this vote fuller license will he given to judicial
tyranny—and less importance will ue hereafter at
tached to judicial responsibility. This is the neces
sary consequence ol all such eflorts resulting in
failure.

mentioned*the commencement of a suit by the state

ative to the question of disputed boundary between

The most important, resolution, however, has not
been permitted to sleep in neglect by our thru
Thoy have punctually honored the draff made u H v..»
their patriotism. The western states, which had but
nn insignificant interest to protect by the Tariff,
and whose members in Congress united with the
East and the North to pillage our fields, and ritlo
our pockets, can give the most satisfactory answer
to the query, whether Georgia patriotism is capahlo
to the task of aven«rin*r imcaUeil for injuries to the
rights of the people. When wg resolved to buy
no more western pork and horses, we are laughed
at by the drovers, rebuked lor our folly, in attemp
ting in our weakness and dependence, to resist the
superior and controlling power of the West.—
We were told that it was impossible for us to do
without their pork and horses, that we were inca
pable from natural causes, of raising them. This
year how ever, will furnish testimony of our ability
to the task. During the years (1, 7, H, and !>,
there wero sold on an average yearly in the county
of Putnam, and in the town of Eatonton, one thou
sand head of hogs from Kentucky and Tennessee,
varying in price from j?4 to <» per hundred. Ta
king the number of hogs at 1000, and averaging
the same at 150 pounds, for each hog, makes 150,-
000 pounds ; this at an average price of 4 cents per
pound makes £Ui,7o0.
This sum of $0,750, .w as, it will lm recollected,
taken from only one market in the county. There
were several others nearly us extensive as this, of
which no account is takon. Jlut how widely dif
ferent is tlm present, stato of things there now ?
The demand in 1^.40 is not near so great, at that
market, as it was formerly. A large portion of the
present demand, bus been* supplied by our own coun
try pork. The balance w hich remains to bo sup
plied will not reouiro at the outside two hundred
and fifty hogs. Thus il is, that the western trader
has from the operation of the Tariff’, at one small
village, lost a market for nt least seven hundred
and fifty hogs : and nothing but the Tariff* has pro
duced it. For without its existence the people of
Putnam county would never have adopted the
practice of raising their own pork. Thus the peo
ple of Tennessee and Kentucky, are made the suf
ferers, in a pecuniary point, that their representa
tives mav share in the profits of tlcir political gam
bling. lint, it may he asked, if these two st.tcs
are disposed to lift from our shoulders the burden
they have placed upon it, will they find in Georgia,
in future, a better market for their hogs, mules
and horses, than they have now? There is lie
probability of such u state of things. To do so.

From the Banner ofthe Constitution.
It will ho seen that in the House of Represent
atives, on the 27th December, Mr. Haynes ofGeor-
gia, introduced a resolution calling upon the 1 reas-
ur y Department for a statement of the foreign cost
of sugar imported into the U. S. since the year
17B4, when the duty on brown sugar, for purposes
of revenue, was raised from I 1-2 cents per pound,
nt which it was fixed in 17'JO, to 2 cents. This
stop is a very judicious one, and it the call can be
answered, it will be shown we think, that although
the duty was raised, in 181f>, only to three. cents
pet pound, yet that owing to the great fall in the
price of foreign sugar, in all foreign countries, the
actual protection enjoyed by the sugar planters is
four times as great as it was when they first began
to cultivate the sugar enne. If we do not greatly
mistake, the cost of brown sugar in tlio West In
dies, prior to the war, in 181*^, was at least as high
ci"ht cents per pound. The duty was then two
cts. which was equal to 25 per cent. The cost abroad
is now three cents, and the duty three cents or 100
percent. AW is the time for striking off' the cx-
crcsence of this oppressive tax—a tax which, for the
sake of enabling two hundred wealthy men to ride
in coaches, imposes a burden upon the good
people ofthe United States of*1,200,000. If the
axe is not laid to the root of this evil at once, the
disease will, by time, become more difficult of erad-
ication. Not only have the interests of Georgia
and Mississippi been appealed to for their support
of this odious monopoly, but exertions are now ina-
kin^ to endeavor to enlist the feelings of other
states. We have papers now before us, stating
that Mr. A. in S. Carolina, lias just exhibited some
fine stocks of sugar cane raised on his plantation;
that Mr. B. in N. Carolina, has also done the same
thing; and the following article from the National
Intelligencer, will show, that even as far north as
Maryland,experiments have succeeded:
‘Sutrnr Cane in Maryland.—A fine stalk of Su-
„ ar Cane, four inches in circumference, and more
than four feet high was brought to our office yester
day, from the farm of William L. Brent, Esq. in
Prince George’s County, who planted one or two
hundred canes, by way of experiment, in May last.
The cane which we saw, appeared to he well ri
pened, the juice abundant and sweet, and to all ap
pearance as fine as we understood, ns if it had been
the product of Louisiana, its maturity is not alone
evidence of the extreme mildness of our present
autumn but shows also we think, that the plant is
susceptible of being acclimated in latitudes ranch
higher than these to which lta culture has been hith
erto confined.’
Now, will any man in his sense pretend to as
sert, that sugar can be raised in our cold climate,
i„ competition with the; counties yin?^within tho
he would cheerfully withdraw the resolution.
No objection having been made, the resolution
was unanimously adopted.
The names ot the Senators were then called
over by the Secretary.
Ths Secretary ofthe Senate, under the direction ot
the Vice-President, read the article of impeachment
exhibited by the House of Representatives against
James H. Peck, Judge of the District Court
ofthe United States for tho District of Missouri.
Tho Vice President rose and said—
Senators: You have heard the article of im
peachment read ; you have heard the evidence and
the arguments for and ngainst tho respondent:
when your names are called, you will rise from,
your seats, and distinctly pronounce whether ho is
guilty or not guilty, as charged by the House of
Representatives.
The Vice-President then in nn audible voice, put
the following question to each of the Senators in
alphabetical order commencing with
I .Mr. Senator Barnard: What say you—Is James
I II. Peck, Judge ofthe District Court ofthe United
States for the District of Missouri, guilty or not
guilty ofthe high misdemeanor charged in the ar
ticle ot impeachment exhibited against him by the
House of Representatives ?
Each Senator rose from his scat, os this ques
tion was propounded to him, and answered as fol
lows ?

Kane, King, Livingston, McKinley, Poindexter,

well, Webster, White, Willey.—22.
Mr. Benton and Mr. Robinson were excused trom
voting. Mr. Bibb, Mr. Chambers and Mr. Rowan
./ere absent.
The Vice-President again rose and observed—
Senators: Twonty-onc Senators having voted
that the respondent is guilty and twenty-two that
ho is not guiltv ; and two thirds of the Senate not
having voted for his conviction, it becomes the du
ty ofthe Chair to pronounce that James I f. Peck, tho
Judge of the District Court of tho United States
fertile District of Missouri, stands acquitted of the
charge exhibited against him by the House of Rep
resentatives.
The Y’ice-Prcsident then directed the Marshal

MAD DOGS.—Wc have had occasion, hereto
fore to remark on tho singular boldness of the
Westminster Review, on all questions discussed
by it—This propensity certuinly laudable, to take
nothing upon trust; to esteem nothing too sacred to
he examined into ; to suspect every thing that is an
cient & clung to tenaciously by privileged classes of
people, to be tinctured with fraud ; to consider
whatever m l#ld too sacred und koly to he enquir
ed into calmly and rationally, to be inoro or less
rotten at the foundation—this propensity which
bre-.ght about our glorious revolution, and which
is now working revolutions in Europe, even more
wonderful perhaps, all tilings considered, than our
our own, seems to be the prevailing one of the
Westminster Review. The writers for that work
have carried it even into the subject of mad dog-
ism. Ill their lust number they suy : —
“ It may appear not a little presumptuous, nt
once to declare our conviction, that the disease
culled hydrophobia in the dog has nothing to do
with the disease of the same name in the human
species ; in otlier words, that the madness of the
biter has no effeet on the madness of the bitten,
and that u man who lias been bitten by a dog in
perfect health, is just as likely to have nil the
symptoms of hydrophobia as if he had been bitten
by a mad one.
Then follow the reasons by which this conviction
is produced—Those who wish to see them must
subscribe for the Review ;—and they may rely on
it, they will never regret the money thus spent—
After a summary statement of the reasons, the
Reviewer concludes ir. these words.
“ In conclusion, we state, that tho saliva of the
so called rabid animal has no poisonous qimihty.—
The disease mimed hydrophobia in man is_ caused
by the injury of a nerve ; when fatal effects fol
low they ure accidental circumstances atten
ding the wound ; and as they more frequently fol-
| ow "punctured wounds than others, the teeth of a
dog lire ns likely to produce them as any thing
else, and the reason why every bite is not suceee-
dod by tho same consequences is, because no nerve
is injured so os to produce the appalling nervous]
excitement that has received tho name of liydro-
1,1 “A* witch 1 the plague! & a mad dog! behold the
Trinity which long held the dominion of fear over
mankind. The days of the first of this trio are at an
end ; scarcely can any one be found to pay her
homage. The plague, though no trifle, is viewed
with loss horror, because its nature is better un-
derstood, and it may be at all events, avoided by
not entering the fatal locality. A mad dog still
exercises a fearful influence over all the thinking
as well as unthinking portions of society; but the
star of his ascendency may ho on tho decline, ami
perhaps the little that has been here said on the
subject may contribute to hasten his Kinking below
our horizon. How much of anguish-how much
of apprehension—may he disposed ot by the re
moval of unfounded fears; and in this effort to
dispel them, wc anticipate the cordial co-operation
of others.”

at the same time, they raise pork sufficient to sup

was bought—that pork can bo raised much cheaper
than it can he bought—that even ;! it cost n

with the copy of a hill in equity, said to have been

by “the State of New Jersey vs. the people of the

THE EVIL CURING ITSELF.
When the odious and accursed Tariff of 1828,
was passed by Congress, it was a subject of much
solicitude with the southern planter, how ho should
protect himself against the injuries which its exis
tence would necessarily draw down upon him.— ]
He was tributary to the North, East and West.— !
He was dependent upon tlio Northern and Eas
tern manufacturers for his clothing, of every sort
—upon the West, for his pork, horses and mules.
In exchange for these, he was at liberty to sell his ■
cotton, and give the almost entire proceeds thereof I P. "nsM,
to tlio seller of these articles. A perfect stato of i , viklnmn,
helpless dependence was his. He was compelled j Il.rrl-All.n
to buy, and the means with which lie paid, and the
price at which he bought, were alike under the con-
troul of those from whom he bought. What wits
to bo done under such a state of tilings ? Must
he submit, or was submission treason ? 'I he good
people of Georgia determined what course should
be pursued. They met in their respective counties,
and determined they would buy no more western
pork, horses or mules, and resolved to wear none
other clothing than the manufacture of their own
l Xhe spirit of independence which dictated these
resolves, created u zeal for the prosecution of the
good work, of domestic manufactures and produc
tion, which hid fair to strip the curse of a part of
its evils. But the zeal which then prompted to
action, Inns, in some degree, abated. In a short
time after these general resolutions had been adop
ted, it was not difficult to perceive their influence
among the people. Tho wheel and the loom were
busily employed, and every family appeared, in a
greater or less degree, clad in the manufactures of
their own families. A different state of things,
I however, ejusts now. Many individuals, who have
