We learnt by a paragraph which we republish ed from the Augusta Courier, a few days since, that the friends of Mr. Adams were to have had a meeting at Wrightsboro, on the first Saturday of this month, for the purpose of nominating an Elec toral Ticket; and the last Darien Gazette con tains an extract of a letter, from a gentleman in the up-cojintry, which declares that u a reaction is rapidly gaining ground in this State, in favor of the present administration.” Now from recent and extensive intercourse with ; our fellow citizens in almost every section of the State, of all classes and all parties, we profess to be nearly as well acquainted with public opinion throughout the State, at this time, as the most of our brother editors; and have no hesitation in giving it as our opinion, that although the friends • of Mr. Adams are very numerous—more so per- j haps than is generally supposed—yet they form ‘ but a small proportion of our whole population.— I The friends of the present administration of the general government,are respectable for their num bers, their intelligence, their wealth and general standing ; but they are not that kind of men who | are efficient partizans in electioneering con tests ; and there is no concert, no communi- , cation between ; and their efforts, should they ! deem it prudent to make any, must bo disjointed ; and ineffectual. We most sincerely hope that no i additional ticket will be formed ; it can answer no • other purpose than to give additional bitterness to ‘ the strife of parties, and prevent a return of those feelings of mutual respect and good will, which is an object so desirable among all true friends of the Union. An effort to elect an Adain9 electoral ticket, must end in mortification and defeat—Mr. ! Adams has numerous, intelligent,warm and active ; friends—but they cannot control the votes of the State. The people are for Jackson —they are ! grateful for his past services—they admire his splendid achievements—they revere his upright i and unyielding character—he is decidedly their j favorite, and they will vote for him. There may be a reaction in public sentiment, to a partial ex tent —but it will not turn the course of the Sa vannah, the Oconee, the Ocmulgee, the Flint or Chatohoochy. All these streams will continue to roll their congregated multitude of waters.through sunshine and storm, through tumult and quiet, to their great and final deposit, as heretofore. Our politicians were equally clamorous against the Tariff of 1824, as they are now, against that of 1828. It was asserted that the price of all articles upon which it operated, would be enhan ced ; that the planter would be oppressed by its operation, and that Southern interests, would be entirely destroyed, &c. Now time and experience, those infallible tests of truth, have proved the fal lacy of those assertions in the one case, as we pre sume they will in the other. The price of foreign goods has not advanced in our market, but rather fallen since 1824 W T hat becomes of the proposi tion then, that “ a protective duty is a tax on the consumer, for the benefit of the manufacturer? It is proved to have no foundation in fact. For it has appeared that domestic competition has been fully sufficient to keep down the price of the arti cle ; that the protective duty has had no other effect than to keep the prices more nearly steady at their former rates. Then wherein has the southern planter been injured by the Tariff? His fears have been excited, but his purse has not been affected. If we had no manufactories in our own coun try—if we depended solely and entirely upon for eign supply, then a duty on any article would raise its price in market, and consequently be a tax on the consumer. But while we have home manu factories, nearly adequate to the supply of all our wants, the foreigner cannot raise on his articles, because in that case, the domestic manufacturer would undersell him. Consequently the duty comes out of the foreign manufacturer, and not out of the consumer. That such has been the o peration of the Tariff of 1824, we appeal to the experience of the last four years. A large bundle of counterfeit bills and coins has lately been discovered in New York, at the house of John Mariner, a convict of the Peniten tiary, consisting of counterfeits of the several banks of New York and other cities, and among the rest S2O bills of the Bank of the State of Geor gia. Fires in New York. —Since the extensive Fire at the Bowery Theatre, the citizens of New York have been alarmed with repeated attempts to fire the city. The Evening Post of the 28th re marks—Our city appears to be the sport of in cendiaries ; the success of the villains who set fire to the buildings in Bayard-street, on Monday evening, the extensive conflagration occasioned, and the opportunities afforded for depradation, amidst the confusion and the crowd, have surpris ingly encouraged other attempts of the same kind.” A fire without doubt the work of an in* cendiary, broke out about two o'clock on the morning of the 28th, in the rear of Cbarlton street, between Yarick and M‘Dougal-streets.— Six two-story houses iu Charlton-street were en tirely destroyed, and two others much damaged. Two new brick dwelling houses, in King-street, were much damaged, several stables were con sumed, in which were seven horses, which were burnt to death. About the the same time of the fire in Charlton-street, an attempt was made to fire a house in Carmine-street. The Insurance Companies had offered a reward of one thousand dollars for the apprehension and conviction of any person who shall have been guilty of setting fire to any of these buildings, THE A * H. SAVANNAH, SATURDAY JUNE 14, 1828. The civil authorities of this State and City, are great sticklers for the doctrine of free trade ; yet in one or two instances, they legislate in direct violation of it, and compromise their own princi ples in the most glaring manner. According to the doctrines contended for by this set of politi cians, government has no right to levy contribu tions upon one class of the community for the be nefit of another. Now compare this principle with the tax imposed on the auctioneers of this city. The auctioneers of this city pay S2OO for their commission, and an assessment of 2 per cent on the whole amount of sales. And this heavy con tribution is not intended for the purposes of reve nue,but for the benefit of the importing merchant, t the regular trader ! We do not intend to say,that this assessment is either unjust or impolitic—lt may or may not be neither. But we do say that certain politicians, for the purpose of producing an excitement, are very apt to exclaim against principles whicb they have all along allowed to be correct, and still continue to act upon. More signs of hostility to the Union. —The Mil- . ledge ville Southron, one of the leading journals in this State, advocating the high toned Virginia doctrines in regard to State Rights, and certainly conducted with more industry and ability than most of the other publications on that side, holds the following language in regard to the late mea sures of the general Government. “ We, of the South, also, have not failed in our duty to our sister states We have reasoned with them on the injustice of their designs. We have entreated them by every tie which men hold sa cred, not to ingulph us and our children in wretch edness and ruin. We have warned them not to create in us, towards them, that spirit which pro duced the Revolution , by exercising towards us those acts of tyranny and oppression which kin dled its flame We have, in order to divert them from their nefarious projects, exhausted every constitutional means, consistent with an associa tion with them in regard to commercial inter course or otherwise. TVc must now turn ourselves to other means and other defences , constitutional indeed, but at the same time with spirit pushing resistance to the very bounds of the constitution. Let there be a wall raised between them and us.” “ And for this purpose we would recommend that a Congress assemble, from all the states op posed to a protecting tariff, in order to revise and recommend to the different Legislatures and peo ple, such measures, consistent with the Constitu tion, as may seem best calculated to protect them from the operation of the Tariff Bill, and prevent the introduction and use of the tariffed articles in their respective States.” This proposition of a Southern Congress smells strongly of the Hartford Convention. To be sure, the editors recommend doing every thing consti tutionally.—So did Caleb Strong. The advisers of the Hartford convention pretended the utmost veneration for the Constitution ; they, indeed, re commended opposition to government —a combi nation among states to thwart its measures— planned a separate confederation and dismember ment of the Union ! But it was all to be done Consti tutionally ; not a breath,not a whisper against the Constitution ! Why, this paragraph might well be mistaken for an extract from the very manifesto of the Hartford Convention itself:—“ We hare warned them not to create in us that spirit which produced the Revolution.” The very sentiments of the sticklers for state rights—the sovereignty of the states in 1814 ! We repeat it, there is a spirit abroad active and sleepless in this country, which threatens the sub version of our happy government. A writer in the Charleston Courier, in com menting on the spirit of hostility evinced tow ards the General Government, and the determin ation which it seems many have formed to dis member the Union—has the following remarks: “ There was a time when the public sensibility on the subject of disunion was such, that we would not even nave tolerated the suggestion of its pos sibility. Little did any one imagine that the time was so nigh when it should be publicly proclaim- i ed in our streets. Nay more, when unquestiona- ! ble proof should be afforded that this was no idle ‘ talk ; that the promoters of it were prepared to act; and to involve the country in all the folly and madness of their designs. It is known that ap plication has been made to the Governor to convene < the Legislature. A memorial, indicating its ob- f ject, has been circulated for signatures, and if it ; has not succeeded, it is because it has been re- , pelled by the sound sense of a virtuous commu- i nity. For what end convene the Legislatnre, if not to ; cloak and sanction the violent designs of individu als ? It is too late for remonstrance —that has been tried ; and no aid of the State authority could be necessary to give efficiency to any legal purposes. No— Revolutionary purposes alone were in contemplation ; and we can look back and un derstand the long course of preparation through ; which they have been passing us, that we might * welcome this “ Crisis.” Every passion, every prejudice has been assailed, that could make us dread or hate the General Government, and all things connected with it.” These views and these feelings are not confined j to South Carolina—they are extensively dissemi- j nated in Georgia. The advise to the people of this 1 State “ to stand by their arms,” and the Report in ; favor of “ a Potomac bounded empire”—were not | the idle ravings of uninstructed politicians, but ! a deliberate disclosure of the settle d policy of a • party. Though the patriotism of the people, their ( affection for the laws, and attachment to the Uni on, rendered at that time unavailing such appeals, and cautioned those wily politicians to pursue a more covert and insinuating policy ; yet their de signs have neither been changed nor given over: and now, when the hostility of the people of the South, is raised to the highest against the Gene ral Government, in consequence of the supposed oppression of the Tariff, is the chosen time for making another effort to carry those designs into execution. We do believe that the great mass of the peo ple of Georgia, are as warmly attached to the Union, as those of any other section of our coun try ; and consequently all that is necessary to defeat the schemes of these politicians, is to ex pose their object, Punishment by death. —On the last day of the session Mr. Livingston, of La. introduced a reso lution providing that the punishment of death, under any law of the United States, be forever a bolished. This resolution will be resumed at the next session of Congress.— Char. City Gazette. The Hon. James Hamilton, Jr. is proposed, by a writer ( in the Columbia State Gazette, as a candi date for the office of Governor of this Stato at the ensuing election in Docerobor. —lk 1 Mr. Editor, Sir, —Will you be good enough to inform us, whether your correspondent “ C. W ” was in his sober senses when the wonderful vision, related in your last, came over him; or whether, as some are rather inclined to believe, he was in a mist, and that his communication, which he would pass off as an emanation from the spirit of prophecy, and the revealment of high destiny, may not ra ther be ascribed to the strength of his potations ? Others, again, imagine that he is a real prophet, and that his vision has an awful at the Presidential election. Your attention to this will oblige, MANY SUBSCRIBERS. We don’t pretend to know any thing at all of the matter. It is not for us to be too inqusitive in regard to the outgoings of our correspondents. Whether “ C. W.” be a prophet or politician, or plain dreamer , we don’t care a straw ; let our readers settle the question among themselves. Editor. The following well merited notice of Judge Schley, is taken from the Augusta Courier of the 26 th ult. “ The Superior Court of Richmond county com menced its session to-day His Honor, Judge Schley, as usual, was prompt at his post. “We cannot let the present opportunity pass without expressing, we believe, nearly the univer sal sentiment of approbation, which has attended the judicial administration of Judge Schley.— Placed on the Bench in a stormy period of party excitement, and over the head of a popular rival, he has won his way to his present reputation by the sole force of his own character and talents. So violent was the opposition of his political ad versaries at the period of his election, that he was allowed no merit in his profession; and we have understood this hostility was even carried so far, that a committee of the Grand Jury of this coun ty, in the plenitude of its assuming powers, had actually penned a presentment against the Legis lature, who advanced him to his present dignity. We now hear nothing but remarks of approba tion ; and even so decided a change have his dig nified deportment, industrious attention to busi ness, impartiality, and sound legal decisions, wrought in the opinion of that portion of the com munity lately opposed to him, that we are credibly informed, that two gentlemen, influential in the elections of this county, but who have always stood in the opp jsite political ranks, have declared, that they will not support any candidate for the Legislature, who will not vote for the re-election of Judge Schley. “ Os the soundness of his legal decisions we have the strongest evidence in the general acqui escence of an intelligent Bar, and in their having been frequently copied from the Georgia Courier into some of the most respectable papers of tlia Union.” The Cherokee Constitution has produced a ve ry mistaken idea in the minds of many persons, especially such as endeavor to take every advan tage oft! lndians. To say that the Cherokees have declared themselves independent cf the United States, and violated, in their Constitution; t.heir connection with the General Government, would be doing them very great injustice ; for the I nought of such independence lias never entered • nto their minds, as we already have nad occasion to declare and we hope to the wise and candid will be suiheient. This Constitation was adopted for the good of the Cherokee People, as their con dition made it evident that they could not improve otherwise in legislation. It did not originate in any desire of such independence as our treaties with the United States would not warrant. We do not claim rightg which do not belong to ua, much less are so blinded as to suppose that \\|e can within ourselves change our relation with the General Government. Rights, however, we have, secured to us by treaties, and will the peo ple of this enlightened land, emphatically called the land of freedomdeprive us of theso few rights ?•—Cherokee Phoenix, North Eastern Boundary. —The editor of the Boston Centinel, in noticing the recent appointing of Commissioners to settle the North Eastern Boundary Line, says, the selection has been pre eminently judicious, and adds, it is stated in let ters on this subject, that in the reciprocal ap pointment of new agents to fix the boundary line, an understanding exists between the United States and Great Britain, that it can now be per manently and satisfactorily run, without inter vention of a third power; and likewise, the un derstanding extends to the employment of a small force on each side of the disputed territory, for the sole purpose of preventing the repetition of transactions on either part which might embar rass the negociation. There will be a wide space between the posts of the two nations ; but, we hope, that a friendly and hospitable intercourse : will be kept up between the officers of both while the negociations are on foot. The subject, it is known, has been an object of solicitude to the President for many months ; and all who know any thing respecting it, will readily perceive that , arrangements for an amicable settlement of such a controversy could not be made without the in tervention of a long term of time ; but it is now t Htlieved that the arrangements are in a fair way of an early and satisfactory issue. If the above be the facts, and they are said to be such, our bre thren of the East will perceive that no necessity can exist for any undue excitement on the sub ject. The New York Evening Post announces that a gentleman of literary reputation is engaged in an abridgement of Irving’s Life of Columbus We hope that the gentleman has obtained the assent of those who possess the copy-right of the large work. An abridgement must be meant to sup plant the other, in a degree; and the injury is likely to be the greater, so soon after its appear ance. An author, or the bookseller who buys from him, is entitled to the fair fruits of the labors of genius and industry. An abridgement of Sir Walter Scott’s Life of Napoleon was attempted in like manner. We know not what fate it has had, but we regard the works of such writers as Scott and Irving, with reference to their chief and peculiar merits,as really incomprehensible. There is a fine untransferable essence diffused through the whole:—the vesture is integral; the charac teristic faculties and habits of the mind, and dis tinctive turns and hues of expression, belong to almost every page of the original. National Gazette. Remarking upon the recent appointment of a Minister to England, a correspondent in Balti more, makes the following very just observations: “ This mark of the President’s confidence is the more appreciated by his friends, as the support given by Governor Barbour to his administration, has been unwavering and genuine, from first to last. Living in affluence, yet leading an active life ; enjoying the confidence of his state, and filling the highest offices in its gift, few had less temptation than he to encounter the sedentary labors of a Department, and the violence of un ceasing opposition. The sphere to which he has been translated, if more agreeable, is also more important, and must be viewed as an appropriate theatre tor his talents, and a suitable tribute to the cause of the country in the worst, and in all times.”— Nat. Intel. The personal property of the late Gov. Clinton, was advertised by the Sheriff of Albany, to htteold on the \4u! NE VV YORK, May 26. —From the Gulf of Cal ifornia. —The editors of tho Gazette have re ceived the annexed communication from their cor respondent at Mazallan, dated the Ist ult. which cannot but prove interesting to merchants and underwriters. The principiv object of the visit of a Spanish privateer in the Gulf is, no doubt, the capture of Mexican vessels, which there will be but little difficulty in effecting, as there are no Mexican men of war in that quarter. But from the well known character of privateersmen, and the absence of all American vessels of war from that quarter, they may be tempted to commit de predations on American property: “ NATANZAS, April I.—We have all been thrown into great consternation here, by the ap pearance of a Spanish privateer off the port, mounting eighteen guns, with a crew of one hun dred and thirty men. We saw her a few days since take a small coasting craft close to the beach. She stripped her of every thing, but gave the ves sel back to the Captain, and let him go. The craft came in here without even an anchor. The privateer is called the Grecian. She is gone up to Guaymas, where, no doubt, she will get some rich prizes, as there are large remittances expect ed down here from that quarter. “ Two Frenchmen lately started from this place for San Bias, across the land, and there formed a party which attacked in the time. t)ie Ame rican brig Lancaster, Captaiu Jenniug', [of thia port] which was lying in the Roads, with money on board, with the intention of carrying her off. The assailants were overcome and all taken pri soners, and are now in the jail of San Bias. • “ The American ship Courier, Capt. Cunning ham, of Boston, lately came in here, but informa tion having been lodged against her, that she f*4 been f>r the last two years carry idg on i; Jg with the Californias, and thoreby transgressing ; .a coasting law, she was not admitted to entry and obliged to leave the port. She sailed, it is be lieved, for the Sandwich Islands about a week a S O -” [We understand that the brig Banian, Hersev, of Boston, which arrived at Mazallan on, the 27th of February, was obliged to leave there for the same reason, and accordingly proceeded immediately for Guayamas.]— Gazette.

Cant, Paige, freighted with tho contributions f r he Greeks, sailed this morning for Pores, • She ’ ill touch at Malta on the way, and on arriving at hap place of destination, the agents will adopt such measures as may be judged most advisable, mi con sultation with the proper persons there. The va lue of her cargo, including insurance, is sho,ooo, at a low estimation. Seventy thousand garments are on board.b elides clothand dry goods not made up. Mr. Stuyvesant, who went out as an agent of the Committee before, in distributing the cloths and provisions, has again sailed in the me rapa city. He is accompanied by Jude Wood*off. of Connecticut, a soldier of the Revolution, wi.u was present at Burgoyno's surrender, and favoured us last fall with some historical reminiscences of that affair, which our readers, perhaps, a av leo hm ;t. The Rev. Mr. King, formerly a. missionary to Palestine, also sails ir> this ship. Hi* object is to establish schools in Greece, the funds for which purpose have been subscribed by the ladies of thia city. He is likewise’ commissioned by the Greek Committee to assist in the labour of distribution, This vessel departs with the hopes of tiae good, and the prayers of the pious breathed for her safe arrival. May the elements be propitious *o her voyage, and the expectations of the friends of li berty and humanity b? realised. As the time for holding the Presendontia! elec tion is rapidly approaching, the annexed tr- e ment, from the Boston Centinel, of the number of Electors in the several stm ;s, together wnh the mode of choosing them, v ill be found not un interesting to many of our readers. We recom mend them to preserve it for future reference. The tenth Presidential term expiring with the 20th Congress, on the 3d of March ensuing, a choice of the Electors, and of President and President, must be made in the passing year, The law of Congress (of 1802) provides, i-hat tha choice of Electors of President, must be made within thirty-four days preceding the first Wed nesday of December. And the Constitution re quires of the Electors to meet in December, to vote by ballot separately for a President ana Vice President of the United States, one of whom at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves. This year, the Ist Wednesday of December fella on the third day of the month, consequently the choice of Electors must be made on or after tha 31st of October, and before the first Wednesday of December. According to the laws now in force (. t present there is no probability of thoir boc changed) the ensuing choice of the doctors . i be made in the several states of the Union, in the following manner : BY GENERAL TICKET, (18 STATES.)

AMSTERDAM, Bth April, 1828. The amendments lately made to our Transit laws are not likely to prove beneficial and conve nient to foreign shipping. Henceforth goods imported by sea and deposited in entrepot, or kept on board, may be exported by sea, with being subjected to any revenue charges, excepting the cost of the documents prescribed, and a moderate storage in the former event.—. The King has, however, reserved a few excep tions in this otherwise general measure, for him self; we are led to believe that they will be con fined to Teas and foreign manufactures onlv. The purport of this measure is demonstrated by the law itself, in plain terms, and is intended to facili tate establishmens or depots of Swedish or Rus sian produce, from which tho Americans and others may the hotter assort themselves for their return cargoes, and save them tho trouble of a double voyage ; we hope the application? will answer the intention fully. The most essential advantage thi# measure presents to American shippers is, that vessels bound for return cargoes from the North, may try and avail themselves if practicable of the Netherland markets, with such part ot their outward cargoes as was originally intended for their ultimate destination, without incurring any additional expenses.
