WEDNESDAY MORNING , JUNE 25, 1828.
Though we cannot agree with “ The People ”
in all his “ self-evident propositions,” as he as
sumes them to be, nor his reasoning from them ;
yet we heartily agree with him in what seems to
be the conclusion of his argument,—viz. that we
have a.right to resist the Tariff, by cloathing our
selves in homespun, instead of the productions of
the northern looms. This is a correct view of the
subject; and if “ The People ” will set the ex
ample, he will find others not unwilling to keep
him in countenance.
The true interest of the people of this State
requires that they should manufacture their own
cloathing. They have the means of doing so, on
better terms, than they can be imported either
from the northern states or from Europe. They
have a sufficiency of water power, capital, indus
try ; —all that is lacking is the first moving im
pulse.
The last Tariff bill may have been injudicious
in many of its provisions—we believe it to have
been so—it embraces many conflicting interests,
and it is difficult to reconcile them; but we do not
believe that it will be found to bear so peculiarly
hard upon Georgia as many seem to imagine. Be
sides, we hold to the correctness of the principle
upon which it is presumed to be founded—viz. the
protection of American industry ; and, we also
most sincerely believe, that if Georgia be wise, if
she be true to herself, and pursue her own inter
ests with common sagacity, she may reap from its
provisions incalculable advantages ; more than suf
ficient to overbalance all the burthens imposed
upon her by it. If.by its protecting influence.it en”
ables us to rear up establishments for the manufac
ture of cotton bagging alone, we shall be more
than repaid, for any advance which mav take
place in the price of broadcloth. The additional
duty also on sugars and molasses, cannot fail to
have a beneficial influence on the culture of the
cane, in which the southern ports of the state are
already so deeply interested. And, if the people
of Georgia will open their eyes, and look around
and about them, they must be convinced, that it
is not their interests which have been sacrificed by
the national councils. Laws framed upon general
principles, and for the general advantage, cannot
be adapted to the exigencies of every individual.
But what patriot would, on that account, raise
, his voice against them, while he perceived that
I their operation tended to advance the glory and
1 prosperity of the whole country ?
There are paroxysms, it seems, in politics as
well as levers. Neither the mind nor the body
can endure a continued state of excitement; at
. ®ne moment is every nerve strung with energy,
every muscle extended ; and at another, all is lan
guor and lassitude. The transition from high ex
citement, to consequent debility, is certain, though
sometimes irregular. Every one has marked this
in the natural world ; and what, politician has not
observed it in the world of politics ? Now the
State of Georgia has just passed through one of
these paroxysms. The watchwords “ Troup and
the Treaty ,” “ Clark and the Unionf’ drove many
a sensible man beside himself, and many silly ones
went “ clean daft.” The political system experi
enced the excitement of a fever—the public mind
was in a high delirium. But this paroxysm has
now passed off; the system is comparatively cool
and tranquil. After a high excitement every
nerve is relaxed—all is lassitude and debility ; the
public mind seeks repose—and it will repose. The
efforts, therefore, of such partizans as are at the
head of the Southron, to raise a commotion—a
political storm —a whirlwind-— to kick up a dust—
won't take. The political system is not sufficient
ly irritable ; there is not sufficient excitability a
broad. They may talk about the Tariff as much
as they please; they may scold at Adams, and
abuse Clay ; but the people will still keep cool.—
They may evoke a Southern Congress; they may
“ call spirits from tho vasty deep ’ — but they won t
covie. They may work themselves up to a foam
ing passion,—but the public will not sympathise
with them. Their excessive anger and fury, will
appear ill-timed and misplaced, if not ridiculous.
We respect the talents and admire the industry
of the editors of the Southron, as much as any ono
can do} but we look upon their efforts to build up
a ‘•Potomac bounded empire,” at this time, as alto
gether vain. They would be equally harmless,
were it not for the reputation of our State, which
must suffer, and the influence of example abroad.
Many of our citizens may honestly disapprove
of the Tariff } they may dislike Adams, or cen
sure Clay } but the State of Georgia is not now
going to war about either—how much soever
certain individuals may wish it.
Now in South Carolina the case may bo some
whal different. During the last presidential con
test, that state was as cold as an iceberg. But the
people there have lately been inoculated with the
political mania—or perhaps taken it the natural
way—and the disease seems now to be approach
ing a crisis. Partizans there display a more accu
rate knowledge of the system, when they seize
upon the eventful moment, and endeavor to raise
the public mind to a phrenzy, by applying stimu
lants, and exciting potions. During the paroxism
of a fever, any physician may drive the mind to
madness, by administering tonics and astringents,
and blisters, and stimulants. This is the plan
pursued by the South Carolina political doctors ;
and if we might be allowed to judge by some late
public acts, we should be of opinion that they had
nearly succeeded. But it is to be hoped that the
paroxysm will not last long enough to produce
any extensive mischief; and that the delirium
will subside, with the natural reflux of the disor-
er.
S AVAN ft AH, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 28, 1828.
The Electors of President and Vice-President
have, heretofore, in this State, been elected bythe
Legislature. But the session of 1825, among rmttiy
other liberal and enlightened acts, restored to the
People the privilege of electing Electors, and by
law fixed the time of holding this election on the
first Monday in November. On that day, the
People, by general ticket, elect nine Electors.
There have been two full tickets already nomi
nated ; both, it is said, friendly to Jackson, a list of
which we published a few days since.
The friends df the present Administration have,
since then, had a meeting, in Darien, and nomin
ated James Hamilton Couper, Esq. of Glynn coun
ty, as candidate for Elector, who is friendly to the
election of Messrs. Adams and Rush.
Mr. Couper is a gentleman of no ordinary ac
quirements, high character, and well deserving
the regard of his fellow-citizens. Setting aside
the question of Presidential election, and there is
• scarcely any gentleman to whom we could more
heartily yield our confidence and support.
Public attention seems to be pretty generally
turned to the subject of our Judiciary establish
ment ; and the necessity of improvement and re
form is almost every where allowed. The imper
fections of the present system are generally ad
mitted, because its evils are scon and felt.. But
there are many habitually averse to any thing like
innovation. They had rather bear the evils which
they know—the burdens which time and habit
have somewhat lightened—than run the risk of
those which are only seen through the medium of
their fe&Vs, and which are magnified by their
! imaginations. The want of uniformity, of stabi
j lity, and the uncertainty of the decisions under
t the present system, are ail allowed to be evils by
j every one. Yet many of our enlightened citizens
j dread the establishment of a court of errors, lest
i it should add to the delays of justice, and increase
; the expenses of litigation.
! Let the proposition be established, that in the
aggregate, the expenses of suits would not be in
creased, and’ that the period for obtaining judg
ment would not, in the majority of cases, be pro
longed, by the establishment of a court of errors,
anti we have no doubt opposition to the measure
would cease. To this branch of the subject we in
vite the attention ct those whose acquaintance
with the practice of courts, will enable them to
elucidate truth with the evidence of facts, and
thus remove the only objections to a court of er
rors, which is believed to exist.
The Administration Convention of the State of
New-York, assembled at Albany on the 10th inst.
Ninety-nine members took their seats. Alexan

Taking for truth all the accounts in the news- .
papers, it would appear that the famous Morgan
had become a very active traveller of late. The
last notice we nave seen of him,is contained in the
following from a Connecticut paper—“ Morgan
has lately been seen sculling up Niagara Falls in
a potash kettle, with a crow bar for an oar. ‘Fact!

Hard Feed. —A correspondent of the Philadel
phia Chronicle publishes the following fact, and
the editor declares it to be a true fact.
A farmer hist fall, brought a horse to town, and
offered him for sale to our informant. The animal
was remarkable, among other things, for the
length and fullness of his tail. The parties, how
ever, made no bargain. This spring the horse was
again brought down, but shorn of his flowing hon
ours. Tho gentleman to whom he was offered ex
claimed at the barbarism of such an improvement.
The owner declared himself innocent. It hap
pened,” said he, “in this way. He had an irrita
tion in his tail, and I directed it to be steeped in
brine every evening. He happened to switch it
into the mouth of a cow that stood in the next
stall } and she was so pleased with the taste, that
before morning, she devoured it to the stum I
thought she had eaten a tough salad for the sake
of the sauce, but the matter could not be mended.”
The Legislature of Connecticut adjourned on
tho 4th instant.

A Berlin letter of the 25th April says, “ we un
derstand thst the 17th was the day fixed for the
workmen to begin tfye bridges for effecting the
passage of the Pruth: and between then and 26th
all the troops be concentrated and ready to
march. In the principalities apprehensions pre

Voyage to the North Pole. —The London Quar
terly Review, in an article headed, Attempt t*
reach the North Pole, has this observation:—“We
think we may conclude with Parry and Franklin
• that though the object tor which these
were undertaken has not been fully accomplished
yet a North West Passage is feasible } and that t
will one day be made, if not by us, by our rival
Brother Jonathan, who we are inclined to thin

The American Philadelphia Centir\el states that
a third edition of Eaton’s Life of General Jackson,
is just published with“ corrections and additions”
to suit tho times ; leaving out many objectional
parts, and relating many incidents never before
inserted. It was Franklin who wished for an op
portunity of giving a revised edition of his “Life,” |
that he might correct several errors, that had f
crept into the first; but this privilege, which was .
denied the American sago, seems to have been
granted to the more fortunate general; as this
is the third corrected edition.
By recent information from South America,we |

CIRCULAR TO POST MASTERS.
Post Office Department , )
10th June, 1823. \ \
The Post Master General has lately received,
with regret, frequent complaints of the miscarri
age of newspapars forwarded in the mail. In ma
ny instances the causes of these- complaints are
behoved to exist in the printing offices. The pa
pers have not been careiutly put up and plainly
directed. But it is that at of the
Post Offices there may have been remissness in
not having put now envelopes on newspaper pack
ets where the old ones had become touch worn
and deiaced, and sometimes in having faited to
give the proper direction to the packets. To de
lay the delivery ot a newspaper is made a serious
offence by the Post Office lav/. Too much atten
tion cannot be paid to this provision ; by a neglect
of it, any post master will lose the confidence of
the public and of the Department.
here failures are complained of, the post mas
ter, at whose office the packets are mailed, is re
quested to obtain a statement from the printer of
the different, packets forwarded by mail, and the
number of papers in each. Occasionally,the pack
ets deposited may be compared with this state
ment, and any omission detected.
Postmasters who fail to adopt this suggestion,
may be justly chargeable with negligence and
held responsible for all failures.
Packets badly secured or not plainly directly,
should always be returned to tho printing efb2e.
Where the packet is large, twine should be ’sed,
and the direction of the packet sliould be endorsed
on one or more of the papers enclosed.
W here papers are not taken oit of'the office by
the persons to whom they are directed, immediate
notice should be given to the jffnnter, and on iiis
failing to pay the postage, the papers may be sold
for it .as provided in the Post Office law. On some
publications it may be difficult to determine wheth
er newspaper orpamphlet postage should be charg
ed. Some newspapers are published in pamphlet
form, as ‘ Niles’ Register,’ others in the quarto
form, as the ‘ American Farmer.’ When a paper
is published periodically on a large sheet, in the
common form of a newspaper, it should be so con
sidered. W hero the form is different, the (subject
matter must determine its character. If it contain
leading articles of intelligence, a summary of poli
tical events or what is generally termed news, or
is published weekly or oflener, it should be called
a newspaper. Advertisements are generally con
tained in newspapers, though seldom if ever, in
pamphlets.
In cases where strong doubt remains what char
acter to give the publication, it would be well to
charge the most favorable postage, until the deci
sion of the Postmaster General shall be obtained.
Where a greater weight is franked than the law
authorizes, postage should be charged for ‘the e> -
ces6. It the packet contain hand bills, or other
articles, which cannot be called newspapers, or
pamphlets, the excess should be charged tfie
ounce, as for letter postage. But if the excess
consist of newspapers or pamphlets, they should
>e charged as such.
Every thing sent in the mail, which does not
come under the denomination of newspapers or
oyniphlet®, is subject by law to letter postage.
The Postmaster General enjoins the utmost vi
ilance and impartiality on all Postmasters in the
•erformance of these duties. And he hopes to
‘fitness the bene dcial results of their zealous tsf
iiLs, by the pubhc confidence reposed m the safe
y of the mail and the fidelity of its agents.
Connecticut State Prison. —The Directors of
•he Connecticut State prison, in their Report to
.;ie General Assembly, now in session, state, that
during the six months included between the Ist
of October and the Ist of April* thq prison ha
produced, over and above every expense tho kuiu
of $1617 16; and that* in their opinion, grounded
upon the experience thus far conducted, after the
sums already advanced by the Warden for the
i~st expenditure shall be reimbursed, no further
demands upon the treasury will be accessary tor
the support of the establishment.
The number of prisoners, at the date of the re
port, was f : 7, including 4 females. During the six
months, such has been the heaithfulness of the pri
son, that only one death has occurred, and not an
individual among the male convicts has been con
fined to the hospital, or so much indisposed as to
requre any thing like a regular course of medica
tion. Trenton Federalist.
We understand, (says the Commercial Adver
tiser) that the Grand Lodge of the State of New-
York, at its late annual meeting, with great unan
imity, made a grant of money from the Treasury,
to re-purchase the Clinton Y r ases, which were
sold at auction, and will present them to the fami
ly. This munificent act was done as a testimony*
of respect for their late Grand Master. The Al
bany Doily Advertiser, mentioning the fact lh;
those vases had been restored to the .family *
Gov. Clinton, by tiie Grand Ecdge, adds : “ W
are informed, that Mr. Blanchard was offered t
thousand dollars for them, by a person who wisl
ed to send them to London. But Mr. B. mag
nanimously refused, and thereby saved the coun
try from disgrace. It will be recollected that the
price he paid for them was S6OO.
