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 der Coffin was appointed President, and Peter Sharp, and Robert S. Rose Secretaries. The meeting was addressed by John A. King, and a Committee appointed to prepare an address to the People. The large tavern kept by Messrs Haywood & Harvey, in Cambridge por\. Mass, was destroyed by fire on the 12th inst. Most of the furniture saved. Whole loss, $500; insurance, SISOO. Samuel Bell has been elected Senator in Con gress, from Newhampshire, for six years from the 4th March next. Richard Bartlett was re-elected Secretary of State, and Samuel Morrill Treasur er, in place of William Pickering. Governor Bell 1 was qualified on the ftth inst. j Quarantine. —The intendant of Charleston has issued his proclamation ordering the Quarantine laws to be carried into effect on and after the 23d instant. A resolution has passed both branches of the ! Legislature of Massachusetts, appropriating SBOOO to enable the board of directors of internal im provement, to complete the objects of their ap pointment. . The Legislature of Massachusetts adjourned on the 13th. 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! ’pon honor.’ ” 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. The new Secretary of War, Gen. Peter B. Por ter, arrived in the city of New York on the 13th inst. on his way to the seat of government, to ei>- ter on the duties of his office, which have been hitherto discharged by the Secretary of the Navy. A petition for a Railway, signed by thirty-six Sugar-Baker®, of London, was presented to the British House of Commons, at the present session. Admiral Hatvey, who presented it, stated, as a curious fact,that each of the petitioners was worth above £IOO,OOO. A second Teasel will bo despatched from New , York, with contributions for tho Greeks, on or a ’ bout the 20th U July. ‘ New York State Prison. —All the male convict $ from that city, have been removed to the new building, Mount Pleasant, where the whole num ber confined amounts to 510. About 480 of these are employed in workmanship upon the principal edifice, and ewe expected to complete it in the course of the present season. 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 vail that a Turkish corps will enter them for the sake of plunder before the Russians arrive.” One of the first commercial houses in Paris, has recently failed. Prince Talleyrand, the Duke of Aremburg and Baron-Louis, have suffered great losses bv it. • The first has lost several millions.— It is said the deficiency *f the house will be IG,- 000,000 or 17,000,000 of francs. Small Business. —By an advertisement in a Liv erpool (Eng.) paper, the Mayor of that town cau tions the shopkeepers, and citizens generally, a gainst counterfeit coin of the denomination of one farthing. Several buildings have recently been injured by lightning in Vermont. The steeple of Dr. Proudfit’s church, in Salem. N. J. was struck by lightning on Saturday, the 7th inst. The back buildings of a house in Second-street, Philadelphia, below Dock, were injured by fire on Friday evening, the 13th inst. The Common Council of New York appointed a committee to wait upon Mr. Monroe, late Presi dent, and offer him such hospitalities as may add pleasure to his residence in New York. A bill for choosing electors of President and Vice-President, by a general ticket, has passed the Seriate of Massachusetts, by nearly a unanimous Vote, and been ordered to a third reading in the house of representatives by a vote of 23G to 35; some of tho minority voting against the principle becoming a permanent, law. 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 will not find it very difficult, with a wind and cur rent in his favor, to run in one season, from*Jp ; Cape, through Prince Regent’s Inlet and Lanca:> | ter Sound, into Hudson’s Bay.” A profitable Cow /—A cow belonging to Jolir Hare Powel, Esq. near Philadelphia, of tho Ism ham short-horned breed, gives daily 26 quarts of milk within 24 hours, which produces 20 1-2 lbs of butter a week ! The feed of this cow is slop of j corn-meal, clover and orchard grass A peaceful Omen , —A London Morning paper states that Sir John Macrae, who received the ; honor of knighthood from the king at the late le [ vee, requested, as a particular favor that the cere -1 mony might be performed with the Duke of Wel lington’s sword. His Grace, who was near his Majesty at tho time, was applied to for the loan of his sword, which the noble Duke acceeded to, but strange to relate, after every exertion, it was found impossible to get it out of the scabbard ! Sir John vzas obliged to be knighted with the Earl of Warwick's sword. SUMMA Y. 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 | learn that Mr. Tudor, late Consul of the'Unit.ed 1 States at Lima, and at present our Charge des Affairs at the court of Brazil, has been employing ! his leisure hours in Lima in writing a work on j Peru. j The sales of cotton at Havre, from the 3d to the Bth ult, amount to 5905; of which 1672 Now Or leans, at from 81 a 1 12 1-2 ; .1780 Upland, 81 J-4 a 92 ; 251 Mobile 82 a 95 ; 302 Tennessees* at 85. ‘ The Emperor of China, by a late edict, severely censures his Sheriffs for their frequent mistakes \ in executing one prisoner instead of another, as described in the death warrant, and cautions them , against such mistakes in future. The whale vessels are said to be returning home ; with full cargoes. Five ships and a brig, contain- * ing among them upwards of ten thousand barrels of oil, have recently arrived at New-Bedford. „ The Legislature of Massachusetts has passed a Resolution restricting the pay of members during the present session, to two dollars per diem, and for each ten miles travel. A Philadelphia paper, after particularizing those j portions of the great canal route in that state : which are in progress, under contract, or soon to ; be so, closes by remarking that within eighteen months from this time, there will be more than 15 i hundred miles of Canals in Pennsylvania, and of; Rail Roads more than one hundred and fifty. A large new Hotel, four stories in height, 115 feet in front, with wings of more than 160 leet in length, and to cost 100,000 dollars, is to be erected in Boston. Quick Work. —A lad of 16 or 17 years of age stole a coat from a country wagon, in Baltimore, on Tuesday night. He was arrested the next morning, indicted by the Grand Jury, tried before the City Court, found guilty, anti sentenced to the Penitentiary before noon. The Bank of the State of Alabama has given notice that it is determined not to receive the notes of the Bank of Mobile, either in payment or deposite, in future. Mad Dogs. —The citizens of Baltimore appear to have cause for alarm. Two mad dogs have been killed in their streets. In the case which occurred last, the Gazette says, that several chil dren, one severely, and a number of dog® wore bitten before thsj ra;;id animal was killed, 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. • _ .

Religious Discourses, by a Layman (Sir Walter Scott) Bvo. price 4s. Gd. Mexico, in lc2/, by Mr. Ward, late British Charge des Affaires in that country.

Continental Traveller’s Oracle, or New Maxims for Foreign Locomotion, by Dr. Abraham Eldon. The He brew, a Sketch; and the Contrast, by Mrs. Roche. Os this last work, the New Monthly Magazine says: “It is altogether deeply interesting, and few who begin it will be satisfied without com pleting the perusal.” The following books are in press :—The Crop py, by the author of the O'Hara Tales. Marriage in High life, by the Authoress of Flirtation, ‘i he Pufliad, a Satire, with an introductory epistle iu prose to an eminent Puffer. A shocking Accident. —At an early hour (two o’clock) yesterday morning, as Mr. Richd. Rhode* and his wife, of Ilockway, were passing through the village of Brooklyn, on their way to the ferry, with a loaded waggon for market, their horse took fright, and running against a post overturned tho The watchman who run immediately to the spot found Mrs. R. dead. Besides several se vere contusions, her neck was broken. Mr. R. alive at nine o’clock, but little hope is enter tained of his recovery. His skull was fractured, and an arm and rib broken. The corpse of Mr. R. was taken to Rock way yesterday forenoon, and the first tidings that her family of six children had of the catastrophe, was the lifeless corpse of their mother. N. Y.Enq.
