AT ANDREWS’S. Twigrt County.
The Fourth Day of July, 1&J2, mid the fi'y-
aixth Anniversary of American Independence,
was celebrated at the hon.se of Robins Andreas
Esq. in Twiggs comity, with becoming honors:
the sunshiuo of tiio national jubilee fully shone
forth, and Mnjor James Pkaxson officiated ns
President. and .Mr. Pleasant 1’oos hs Vice Pre
sident of the Day—which was honored with
•omethiug like five hundred persons, who partook
of ti very excellent dinner prepared b.v the said
Mr. Andrews Plenty abounded ns much ns n
fertile country can afford, aa l tho company en
joyed themselves with music. After the duili was
removed, the President of the Day delivered to
the companv the following very appropriate
ADDRESS:
“Fellow-Citizens—I ap-icar before von to
day, fully apprised of ray inability (o do the sub-
S it now before us justice, an J was it not the con-
cneo I repose in you, fcllow-citizcut, 1 should
shrink from the task, hut feeble as my abilities
are, I have abundant proof in ; on, from acts that
arc past aud gone, that you are free to forgive my
errors, which prompts tiio forward today. My
friends, tho occasion is great that bns assembled
us together at this time; it is the annual return of
the birth day of our liberties. Fellow-citizens,
wo have met together today for tho purpose of*
commemorating that ever memoraldo day whitli
gave our liberties exist.-uro nud caused us to ns-
littne the name of the free sons and daughters of
America. But, follow-rhi tens, this is uot like this
day 56 years ago was; that day had long been
clouded in obscurity, darkness nud uncertainty;
the light of freedom had just burst forth from n
long and ardent struggle in which onr forefathers
bravely fought, bled and conquered, while our
helpless mothers nnd their little infants had scarce
ly wherewith to lay their heads, exposed to be
E hindered of thoir little nil or burnt up in their
owes, which was frequently tho case. Yee, fel
low-citizens, that day was the time on which the
standard of our present liberties was declared and
unfurled to those happy United States, the liberty
that we this day so richly enjoy. But, fellow-cit
izens, lot us redact fir it “moment who it was that
achieved those glorious liheriiea: it was those brave
eons of freedom, to wh: aur forefathers with that
immortal nud illustrious statesman, George Wash
ington at their head, whose name ever sounds
near and dourto the free hearted sons of the pro-
s:».t day; when our country had home insults and
iujuries ropoatoJIy from our mother country from
time to time, and wo had petitioned and solicited
thorn to forbear her injuries, she was at '.hat time
"plundering our seas, ravaging onr coasts, burn
ing our towns nnd destroying tho lives of ourpco-
ple. She had constrained uur fellow-citizens taken
captive on the highscas to boar arms against their
country, to become the executioners of their
friends and brethren or to fall themselves by their
bands. Sho had endeavored to bring on the in
habitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian
savages, whose known rule of warfare is an un
distinguished destruction of nil ngos, sexes and
conditions. In every stare of tbeso oppressions
we had petitioned thorn for redress in the most
mild and humble terms. Our repeated petitions
bad only been answered by repeated injuries.—
A prince, whose character was thus marked by ev
ery aet which may defiue a tyrant, wasunfit to be
the ruler of a freopcoplo." “It was after all this
•forbcaranco, fellow-citizens, that our country,
through necessity, had to declare wur with our
mother country; it was thon th it our forefathers
blood run warm in their bravo and free-hearted
veins; then it was that they aroused from thoir le
thargy and said to tho enemy, "lints far and no far
ther shall thou go, wo have borne your insults long
enough." In that hour of uncertainty it was thul
our bold andinvutnembo Washington unsheathed
bis sword, aud our fathers shouldered their mus
kets, determined to co'nquer or die. Yes, fellow-
citizens, under the kind hand of a divine Provi
dence, victory was our causo. And now fellow-
citizens, let mo ask you this question, where is
the nation on the face of the whole earth that has
enjoyed such a length aud series of years of peace
as theso Uuited States! None under tbo canopy
of heaven. Well may we call the few surviving
Revolutionary cbarai «gm, the heroes of our coun
try's glory. Let me cast my eyes around and see
if I am surrounded by any of those blood stained
characters; if 1 am I cau only haii you as the fa
thers of this day, and say to you, though you are
few in number, I trust your bravery will be re
warded when you are sleeping in your craves,
and may prosperity and happiness attend you
many years yet to come, and may yon yet stand
an ornament to our epuntry to stimulate the pro-
«ent generation to deeds of bravery, and when
you aro called hence, may you have downy pil
lows to rest your heads upon and breathe your
lives out sweetly there, in view of a never ending
lifo; and if any of these old grey headed fathers
by whom I am now surrounded who were not old
enough to partake in that ever glorious struggle,
who can bear witness to some oftho honors of our
birth rights, I can only say hail, bull to your de-
dining days; may your last days bn your happiest
days, and may you Jong live to rehoarse the diffi
culties of our forefathers, to the present genera-

trust it is indelibly sealed en my hurt, where it
will ever be remembered to you as a faithful peo

ly add, and say in ail my public act* I have had
no lucrative views to answer, nor private feeling*
to gratify, hut have been actuated solely for the
advnn" ment of my country's good, and if I have
erred. I know of a truth it i* nil error of the head
and not of the heart, and though it has not been in
my power to serve you ably I can lay iny hand
on my breast and say with ii truth. I have served
you faithfully to the best of my weak abilities, ami

After tho Address was concluded, Mr. Jacob

while tho toasts were drunk. The scene was
graced with a very largo and rospeetablo con

they all retired to tho room, where they enjoy

tiio afternoon, five of our lieutenants and S mid
shipmen, disguis'd ns a tncrelmit, a captain..
sun renr»i», and tho others as a port of tne crew
of n morehnntniRti, sailed from tin; ship in the
wh ile boat under tho pretence of purchasing a
cargo of pepper. On tiieir approach to tho shore
they observed it . lined with armed men. Not
thinking it prudent to land, they put back to tho
ship,—before they reached tho ship, n small fish
ing l)or*t Ind conic alongside, and wc made pro
soners of those who were in her.
All hands were called to ‘out boat*’—an order
which was promptly obeyed. At half-past two
o’clock wo left tlm ship as follows:—Whale boat,
1st I,iout. Erwin Sliultrick comumiisliiig; Launch,

Midshipman The Commodore's Burge
was left by the ship. 2d Lieut. Wilson remained
in charge of the ship with the Commodore.
We lauded ahont one hell after four o’clock,
numbering in all about "GO men, and commenced
the attack in four divisions—three of sailors and
ono marine*. We commenced nn attack on the
five forts, tliree of which we took possession of.
A number of the huts were burned. The other
two forts were separated from us by a creek which
wa* too deep to ford. The number killed on our
side was two, aud seven wounded. From all tho
information wc .could receive, the number of na
tives killed was 60 and 90 wounded. The names
of the persons killed from our party were. Wm P.
Pmi'h a Swede, and ■ Brooks n marine.
Tin: whole-affair wns conducted with great skill
and brnverv on tho part both of the oificers nnd
the men. “Wo had the pleasure of seeing the star

Mr. Berry, cur assistant sailing master, was
second mate of the ship Friendship, when her
crew were so cruolly massacred here. On tho
7th February we got tho rhip ilndor way, and ap
proached within a mile and a half of the town
and forts and immediately opened a heavy fire on
them: we fired 62 of our long double “fortified
thirty-two pounders, and then stood off for Sno

CONGRESS—Titr. TARtrr.
The Rank Billvtn* passed on Tuesday—itnnw
rests with the President of the United States to
sign or reject it.
The Land Dill has been pressed by Mr. Ciny
through the Senate. It provides for tho distribu
tion oftho nett proceeds of the public lands among
the States, after paying over 12$ per centum to
the Suites where tho lands respectively lie. This
distribution is to be mado on tiio principle of fed
eral representation, anil “tube applied by the Le
gislature of the several States to such object* of
education, internal improvement, colonization of
peraons of color, or reimbursement of any exist
ing doht contracted for internal improvements, at
tho said Legislatures may severally designate."
—We are happy to see that this bill, to suspicious
in its character and so startling in its importance,
was on Tuesday last Inidon the table in the House
of Representatives, till ntrl session, on tho mo
tion or Mr. Wilde of Georgia.
Tho 3d great subject before Congress, the Ta
riff hill, has htfca reported to the Senate by the
committee of Manufactures, with a varioty of a-
mondments, which were under discussion on
Tuesday last. Few, if any of these amendments
make the bill better for tho South—oue of them
is said to restore the obnoxious system of mini-
mums on woollens, and another to raise the duties
on woollens, 3u. We hope that these win he td.
tlmatuly rejected—that the bill will not be made
worse—and that It will pass the Senate.
The following letter shows what an important
reduction'll makes*iu the revenue. It is from n
gentleman at Washington, wbo is familiar with
such subjects, and whose judgment is held in high
respect by the people*
" IPiuhwgfen, July 1,1832.
"In answer to yonr letter, I sendyou a printed co
py ol the Tariff as it passed the House, sad now be-
tnrethe Senate. It will, with tire repeat of certain
dutie-reduced in 1830, reducethedu'ies in a snm ex.
needing tun millions oldollart from the tariff of 1828,
and the then existing duties.

Speaking of the bill, he says: "They took it, not
that they did approve it, hot because it was a reduc
tion which would reduce the revenue, and better
rosy hereafter be obtained. The greet complaint Is
the woollens, end this only attaches to those over a
cost of 35 eentstbe square yard; they gain greatly by
these under that cost being only taxed Are per cent,
those include ell the negro clothing end working
clothes for farmers, mechanics end white laborers.
The dutyoo bombaxeiu and all staff goods, Is reduc
ed from 85 to JO per cent—e great advantage to every
family, especially the poor end diddling elaitri.—
.... ix-ductivii ot the duty on coaisir woollens nud
stuff goods, Is some compensation fur the high duty
imposed oo the high priced woolleos. The duly on
bar iron Is reduced $22-50 the ton. In fine, the bill
may serve for the present."
The last Globe that we have received, assert*
that tho reduction hy the bill of the House of Re
prescatntive* i* only 9385.916 less than ihc.Trcav
ary btU woulJ have effected—nnd that this bill
wilt cut down the whole revenue nt least cloven
miiliiras—of with It three millions are mi the pro
tected articles uloiio. It is pledged to give a com
parative statement cu this subject, derived no
doubt from thn highest official sources, and wlecli
weshtff lay before ourreailore i t our next. 'I’ll
-Vlexituiriu Gazette soy* that tho "most import
ant feature ir; that it reduce* the duties ttpou im
port* very considerably--estimated by sumo to
the amount of ten millions of dollars. This!*
substantial relief. It is a ooinproinLc rntored in
to bv members from different portions of the
Oon^deracy, for the sake of harmony and Union,
it did not receive tho support cither of the ultra
Tariff men or the ultra Free Trade men.”
It is the time uow to speak out. Tho Scnato
will not improve the bill- that seem* to lie given
tip on ail hands—and wo hope the House of Rep
resentatives will not acquiesce in any materia!
modification for tliu worse. In the 2d place, i
this hill due* reduce the revenue about ten mil
lion*—nnd th" whole revenue, not to exceed 14$ i.r
15 millions, this question rii.es; shall ive take these
10 millions out of tile pocket* of the pciqiie,
where they should remain— in order to swell the
surn'-.uiti the Treasury, where it can only do inis
chief? Or shall wo give, for the present, relief
to the people to that amount, and nlso deprive
the Treasury of the mentis of corrupting tliem?
Th : s is oue qur«tion.—And another is—shall nt-
give peace to tho country and savo tho Union
from danger —or, put it in tho linnds of ambitious
politicians of tha ultras, the Calhoun nnd tho (flay
parties to diituri) the country, nnd take the chan
ce* of rising iu the storm? Nn—let us save the
Union—put down this absurd doctrine of nuUifica
tion—aud give peace to the country. We may
dohrtter hereafter—fixing our eyes constantly up
on the goal—of retrenching mid avoiding unne
cessary expences. cutting down the revenue to the
standard of expence, nnd of providing nn equal
distribution of the burdens mid h'csstngs of the
Union. The people of Virginin, so far as we can
judge hy the cool and intelligent men around us.
are against disnniou and nullification—and thour.h
not in every respect content with the present hill,
are willing to take it for the present, than “fly to
evils they know not of." They make some sac
rifices on the altar of their country—and they will
call upon other States to do likewise.—Richmond
