wslks it to be distinctly understoocTby those who
DJivii Jve the goodness to patronize Ins undertak
ing / ic/itdi mil be oit arduous i.-nej that he will
act Independently —but open to all parties—
and tint only with a view to please his patrons,
generally: far as it will be consistent with
Iftsdvm, A Aeration % &nd Justice! There shall
be no pains uor industry spared on the part ot the
Edit r. to make it a useful Journal, and every ex
ertion will be made to give the earliest local intel
ligence, and most important News, both Foreign
and Domestic.
The columns ofthe BeaufortGazette,howev

upon private reputation or domestic repose, either
Political , Murat or Religious —yet, in vindication
of such attacks, (when published elsewhere,) they
shall always be open for the insertion of decent
language.
Much has been advanced about the liberty of
the Press —but that liberty is a blessing or a curse,
like every thing belonging to human nature, ac
cording to its use A Press that holds a stern,
independent, dignified tone—that dares to stand
fordi Ihe champion of Liberty and Independence —
to frown indignantly upon Tyranny in ever
shape—to stand as a centinel upon the watchtov
er of the Constitution, and to sound the alarm a
the approach of danger—to volunteer in the se -
vice of oppressed and insulted virtue—to bring a*
the moral force it may command, t” the assistant:
ofthe country at large—to attack the stronghold
of vice and depravity—Such a press is indeed a
public blessing. But, on the other hand, when
the press is made a public pimp and pander to fac
tion—when spotless virtue is assailed by the scor
pion scourges of detraction —when the shamefui
lie once refuted, is again repeated, and slander is
made to answer all the purposes ol evidence—
when no man is safe from persecution, but the
wicked and abandoned—when honor, and faith,

far more to be dreaded and execrated than a band
of assassins.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1828
That proposition ot the economists, which says,
that ** it is the interest of the merchant and farmer
to buy at the cheapest market and sell at the
dearest,’ has been the source of greater errors
among those who look not beyond the surface of
tilings, than almost any other operation connect
ed with the subject. Taken in the plainest and
most literal sense, aud the proposition is certainly
erroneous. Ihe fallacy of it may be easily illus
trated.
B>ome half a. dozen of our planters, now in the
middle counties, make a thousand bushels of corn
each. The “ dearest market,” with them, can
mean none other than that in their immediate
neighborhood. The article will not pay the ex
pose of transportation. They sell therefore, in
tlie dearest market at 25 cents per bushel. They
have to purchase negro plains, and these, even if
there were no tariff, no duties, could not be pro
cured from the British manufactories for less than
2-> cents per yard—probably in the average for
37_. cents. They therefore purchase in the cheap
est market. Acting on this principle therefore,
of selling in the dearest market, and buying in
the cheapest , we perceive that the Planter gives
from a bushel to a busiiel and a half of corn for a
yard of plains !
Now let us look at the other side .of the propo
sition. By the operation of the tariff, protecting
dunes, &c. the manufacturer and farmer are
brought into immediate contact—the manufacto
ry is removed into the neighborhood ofthe plan
tation. Jhe ot laborers engaged in the
manufactories will increase the demand for corn—
and the price will rise from 25 cents to one dollar
per bushel. But goods cannot be manufactured
so cheap here as in England—and the negro
plains cannot be sold for less than from 50 to 75
cents per yard. Still, how will the account stand
with the planter ? Why thus—when he sells at
what >ur pseudo economists call the dear market
and buys at the cheapest, he gives a bushel of corn
for three quarters or a yard of cloth. On the
other hand, when he buys at what they call the
dear market, he gets from a yard and a half, to
two yards of cloth for the same bushel of corn !
That the protective system adopted by our go
vernment, will introduce manufactories among
us, we can have no doubt. And that these ma
nufactories w ill raise the price of corn, to at least
a dollar per bushel, standing price, and all kinds
of in an equal proportion—w T e feel
equally confident. What then, has the planter to
ear from the operation of this system ? Why no
hing. He has every thing to hope, but nothing
o fear. Even admitting that the nominal price
f plains should advance from 37 1-2 to 75 cents
i t yard in oonsequence ; yet if the same mea
s ire of corn will purchase at least double the
quantity of cloth, it is evident that his situation
is improved, whatever may be the cash price of
either.
A w T riter in the Republican, who has furnished
several Essays against the Tariff*, and in w hich he
has attacked that measure with considerable ta
lent and ingenuity, commences his last number
w T ith the following appeal to the people of Chat
ham County, “ Are you satisfied,” asks he, “ with
the Tariff? It would seem so. ilardly a whisper
is heard against it.” Now, this is certainly the
fact. We hear very little ranting about the Ta
riff—no threats of withdraw ing from the Union,
and all that kind of tiling. Our citizens, gene
rally, w e believe, have not approved of that mea
sure—but, they have possessed that true Republi
can spirit, which teaches them to submit respect
fully to the declared will of the majority; and, on
the present occasion, they have done so; they
have submitted to w hat they deemed hardships,
without murmuring and without repining. And
it is not because the patriotism ol former days has
evaporated, that they have done this ; they yet
possess the same spirit which animated their fa
thers ; they yet revere the names of Jackson,
Telfair, Habersham, and Harris. But they are
aware that visiiations from the world of shadows
“ are few and far between ;” and they do not seem
disposed to take the words of “ The People ” for
the aspirations of either of these worthies. In fact,
we rather incline to the opinion, that the shades
of these patriotic men, should they now be dis
posed to revisit us on this important affair, would
, rather lend their influence to allay the violence of
! p?irty and sectional feeling, than jeopardise the
; safety and harmony of the Union (the fair work
of their own hands), by assisting “ The People ”
in getting up an excitement against the Tariff.
■ “ The People ” may, doubtless, be on a very
! friendly footing with the shades of those great
men ; yet we cannot forbear suspecting that he
■ nas taken great liberties with them, and has put
words into their mouths which would not have
been found there, had ihey appeared in person.
! When he represents them as “ complaining that
w r e are slow,” and advising us “to repel. &c ”we
do most shrewdly suspect that he foully misrepre
sents their true sentiments. Believing, we sup
pose, that these respectable ghosts would be ra
ther backward in making their appearance, or too
polite to contradict him, he seems to have been
disposed to take advantage of their absence or
good nature, and has clapped into their mouths
the words of a fusty old Roman, a traitor and
a hypocrite, instead of the sentiments of an Ame*
rican Patriot !
Now, we have no skill in conjuration—never
pretended to any —yet, could we evoke any of
these venerated shades, recall them to the scenes
of their past usefulness and present glory, with as
much facility as “ The People ” pretends to have
accomplished it, and give to their airy and im
alpable forms an audible language—we have no
ioubt but their appeal to their countrymen would
‘C something after this sort: —

value of vour national Union, to your collective
and individual happiness ; that you should cherish
a cordial, habitual and immoveable attachment to
it; accustoming yourselves to think and to speak
Os it, as the palladium of your political safety and
prosperity ; watching for its preservation with
jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may
suggest even a suspicion that it can, in any event,
be abandoned ; and indignantly frown upon the
first dawning of every attempt to alienate any por
tion of our country from the rest; to enfeeble the
sacred ties which now link together the various
parts.
“ In contemplating the causes which may dis
turb our Union, it occurs as a matter of serious
concern, that any ground should have been fur
nished for characterizing parties by geographical
discriminations—Northern and Southern—Atlan
tic and Western—wdience designing men may en
deavour to excite a belief that there is a real dif
ference of local interest and views. One of the
expedients of purty to acquire influence, within
particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions
and views of other districts. You cannot shield
yourselves too much against the jealousies and
heart-burnings which spring from these misre
presentations : they tend to render alien to each
other those who ought to oe bou&i together by
fraternal affection.” —Vide Washington's Valedic
tory.
SUMMARY.
The noted Malapar, of New r -York, was forbid
den entrance into the Exchange of that city. On a
second attempt to force an entrance, he was suc
cessfully opposed by the porter and a police officer,
and finally taken to a police office, and bound in
recognizance to keep the peace.
! The New-York papers contain reports of an as
sault and battery, committed by a Mr. Roberts on
the person of M. M. Noah, ofthe Enquirer. Mr
R. formerly associated in editorial pursuits with
i Mr. N. ; deeming himself injured by some remarks
in the Enquirer, met Noath at the entrance into
the Park Theatre, and struck him several severe
blows over the face w ith a cow 7 skin. The parties
clenched, and a struggle ensued until tlicy weie
separated.
• The assailant was taken to a police office and
ordered to give bail in SSOO. “It is fine sport to
hunt, but not so very pleasant to be hunted.” The
Enquirer has long sported as an amateur in nose
cases, but must now be admitted as an experien
ced Judge.
The Russian Squadron in the Mediterranean,
after being thoroughly repaired and provisioned
at Malta, sailed about the 10th of April It was
joined in the roads by the English squadron, which
weighed anchor two or three days after. The
destination of the united squadron was not known.
Whether it was to Navarin, to enforce the strict
blockade of the Morea, to Alexandria, to demand
the release of the Greeks lately carried into slave
ry in Egypt, or for any other service, were ques
tions for conjecture.
Internal Improvement.. —A convention of Dele
gates from all parts of Virginia, is to be held at
Charlottesville on the 15th of the present month,
for the pirrpnae cf ascertaining t\’ Jvigotating
public opinion on the subject; and meetings have
been held in many counties of the State to appoint
persons to attend it. The object of the Old Do
minion seems to be, to imitate the magnanimous
example ofthe State of New York, in improving
her own territory.
Avery severe storm occurred in Columbia, (S.
C.) on the 23d ult. Two houses were struck by
lightning ; of which one was a barn belonging to
Governor Taylor, the other, a private dwelling
house. The fire was fortunately extinguished in
both before any material injury was done.
Singular Providence. —Mr. Dyer,a cooper,hear
ing the cry of a child, about 8 years old, which had
fallen overboard at Eastport, jumped into the wa
ter and was bringing it to the shore, when a boat
from the English brig Nimrod came to him when
he was nearly exhausted, and relieved him of his
burden. He returned to his work, and when the
lad was brought to life, soon after, he was inform
ed that it was his own son.
Salt. —A company has been formed at Saratoga,
for excavating for Salt, and a handsome capital
raised for the purpose. The boring will com
mence a few rods south of Flat Rock Spring.
The Collectors of Newport and Providence,with
several experienced nautical gentleiuen.havebeen
lately engaged in surveyiug the Punkham rocks
off Pautuxet. Contracts have been made for e
recting pyramids upon them. The site of a light
house on Naat Point has also been agreed on.
The New Hampshire Literary Fund, arising
from the income of the tax on banks, amounts, ac
cording to the accounts lately rendered by the
commissioners, to $53,026.
The merchants of New* York have commenced
a subscription, the object of which is to procure a
a service of plate to be presented to Hugh Max
well, Esq. as a testimonial of personal respect, and
also as a mark of approbation for the able and faith
ful manner in which he has discharged his official
duties as District Attorney.
The Indiana Journal states, that a rencounter
took place at the mouth of Spoon river, on the
Illinois, about the 20th ult. between 5 white men
and 1 5 or 20 Indians, which resulted in the death
of three of the latter. The Indians had got whis
key, and were drunk, demanded more whiskey,
drew their knives, and attacked the whites, but
having lost three of their number, ran to their
camp for their guns, when they were quieted and
prevented from further mischief.
A Liverpool paper has the following remarks
upon the relief of the French Press from arbitrary
censorship.—“ The liberation of the French press
fronriiie censorship, and from other arbitrary in
terpositions, has been the result of the late strug
gles in tavor of public liberty. Anew law has
been issued, which, in principle, conforms to our
own. It allows of publications, and then holds
the author or person publishing, amenable to the
tribunals. To render this efficient, it has various
provisions for the depositing of securities and re
gistration, which, thbugh troublesome, xnay be a
necessary guard against the degeneration of liber
ty into license. The Constitutionnel paper ac
knowledges, that, compared with preceding laws,
it mitigates, and abrogates the existing evils, and
that it is a great amelioration. It is satisfactory
to see the political state of France taking a char
acter which guards so well against extremes,”
Forgery.— The N. York Gazette, of the 24th
ult. says—“ Yesterday a check for S7OO was pre
sented at the counter of tlie Mechanics’ Bank by a
negro, w T ho with honest naivete informed the tel
ler that ‘he did’nt know whether it was a good
one or a bad one—but it had been handed to him
by a man in the street who requested him to pre
sent it at the Bank.’ Under these circumstances,
payment of course was refused, and the check was
afterwards proved a forgery, though of the nicest
and most admiral execution. Search was made in
the street for the person w r ho gave it to the negro,
but he had decamped. The black man is quite
confident he can identify him, should he see him
again. We understand, a young man was
arrested yesterday afternoon under suspicion of
having been implicated in the affair.
The Circuit Court of the United States, for tli •
District (says the Providence Journal of the ltith)
convenes at Newport, ten o'clock this day. There
ia much hnsiness before the Court, and we regret
to state that the Court will have imposed on it,
the painful task of trying a Seaman on a charge of
murder.
The Natchez Courier states that the steam boat
Ohio, on its way thence to New Orleans, with a

Mr. Monroe in New York. —The following pre
amble and resolutions were, on motion of the Re- >
corder, adopted by the Common Council of New
York, on the 13th inst.
u The Common Council having received infor- *
mation that the Hon. James Monroe, late Presi- •
dent of the United States, has arrived in this city:
“ Resolved, That a Committee be appointed to !
wait upon Mr. Monroe, to assure him of the high .
sense which the Common Council entertain of his
private and public virtues, to express to him the
great pleasure they receive by his visit to this ci
ty, to witness, in person, its prosperity and irn- !
provement; and to tender him such hospitalities
as may be acceptaDle, and may add to the pleas- j
ure of his residence while among us.”
The New York City Inspector,reports the death
of 80 persons for the week ending the 14th inst. J
The New-Brunswick Royal Gazette copies a ’
paragraph from a Maine paper, which states that ;
British officers from Frederickton were laying out ,
ground for an entrenchment on the New Bruns- !
wick side of the boundary line, near the spot se
lected for erecting barracks for the U. S. troops,
and adds, “ the only comment that we have to
make on the above is, that it is entirely without
foundation.”
The men employed about Arch-street ferry. Phi
ladelphia, w r ere the other; morning surprised by the
appearance of a strange animal in the dock, which,
on examination, proved to be an Alligator. He
was captured without much difficulty, and is be
lieved to be the first evei taken in that river. The
wonder was diminished, however, bv the discove
ry that he had escaped from the Lanffdon Cheves,
in which vessel he had lately arrived from the
south.
The Weather. — Our city and its vicinity (says
the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, of the 19th inst.
have been visited, for a few days past, with a de
gree of heat that would seem to render any one
indifferent as to the operation of the Tariff upon
Woollen Manufactures. Yesterday afternoon, a
smart shower, accompanied by thunder and light
ning, gave freshness to the air, and prepared the
citizens for the burthen of another days heat. We
believe the fruits of the season were never more
plentiful and cheap, in our market, than at pre
sent.
Storm —Another sudden and severe thunder
gust says the N. Y Commercial Advertiser of the
l!lth, passed over this city yesterday, which hap
pily was of short duration. The clouds began to
roll up portentously black, soon after two o’clock,
and at half past two, they poured down a deluge
of rain. The lightning was sharp and continuous,
and the thunder for some time seemed to roll on in
a long, heavy and continued peal for several mi
nutes, varied only now and then by a sudden and
startling crash, which jarred the city to its founda
tions. The wind was high, but probably blew a
stronger gale north of us. Two houses in Morton
fctreet, between Washington and Greenwich
streets, were considerably injured, and a female
in one of them slightly injured. A sloop at the
foot of Spring-street was struck and her mast shat
tered by the lightning. A tree was also struck in
Cherry street, in front of the residence of Colonel
Rutgers.
The following is from the Camden Journal of
the 21st instant:—
“ General Jackson. —We believe this distinguish
ed patriot has, for the present, declined an invita
tion to a dinner at the Waxhaws; but, as he pro
poses to pay a visit to Charleston for the pious
purpose of searching for, and re-inhuming the re
mains of a beloved parent, in the spot where his
own are to be deposited, it is then probable he
may honor the place of his nativity with a visit.”
Dr. Thatcher's Medical Biography is just pub
lished, and is an acceptable present, not only to
the profession, but the public. Many, of whom
sketches are given, became eminent rather by
their political relations than medical science.—
They flourished principally during the last centu
ry, when the talents and virtues of all professions
were called out to administer for the healing of
the sufferings and agony of the body politic. This
places them in a position with respect to the com
mon reader, where he can witli more accuracy es
timate their merits. — Plymouth Memorial.
An attempt was made to set the public work
shops at the Corporation yard in New York on
lire, by applying a match to some shavings in the

A Valuable Donation. —The collection of the
late Gov. Clinton in science and natural history,
amounting to upwards of 1100 specimens, having
at the recent sale of his effects been purchased by
Messrs John T. Norton and Edward C Delavan of
Albany, those gentlemen have very magniflciently
and appropriately presented them to the Albany
Institute.
His Excellency Sir James Kempt and suite, ar
rived at Montreal on the 13th inst. It is believed
he will supercede the Earl of Dalhousie, in the Go
vernment. of the provinces—tiie latter having
been promoted to an India station.
Great Fire —The gazers this morning (says the
Philadelphia Aurora of the 20th inst') had their
eyes enlightened by the sight of about sdooo in
counterfeit notes in a blaze. They professed to
be of the Bank of Geneva, .N Y. and were burned
jd the request of the Bank. Many glances of re
gret at seeing so much wealth destroyed, were
cast upon the immense pile as it slowly comsumed,
and “left man a wretch behind. ’
Poison from Clams. —The Gloucester Tele
graph states that several cases have occurred in
that town of persons being poisoned from eating
clams. One man at Sanday Bay was scarcely ex
pected to live. Some of the clams were given to
two cats which died soon after. The Indians es
chewed clams from May to August.
Accidents —A sou of Mr. E. Frayno, of Lock
port, about seven years of age, while engaged in
play with a child about the same age, cu the tow-
path al mg the line oi the canal in this &!ace, fell
into the water and drowned.
Benjamin Monte, ot Plattsburgh, owner and
commander of a canal boat, was drowned on Wed

This name will form a rich burthen of a national

In an account of the proceedings of the annual
meeting of the Naval and Military Bible Society,
liel lat London on the 13th May, we observe that
Capt. Parry, in an eloquent speech, asserted the
clams of the Society to public support, and rela -
ted some very interesting anecdotes, to prove the
benefits received by seamen from its exertions.
Captain Fnnklin.and several other distinguish

The editor of the Albany Argus has received a
letter from Washington, which says that a court
order has gone forth to Gen Scott, tor his dismis
sal in the event of his refusal to obey the orders

The New-York Journal of Commerce says:—
“By the brig Qtu//, Parnelle, from Rio Grande,we
learn that the armistice between the Buenos Av*
realis & Brazilians had been broken in consequence
ofthe former having crossed the lines and stolen a
large number ol cattle. It was daily expected,
that General Lecor would attack the Buenos Ay
re ans.”
i By the Carlo, from St Croix, at Baltimore, we
i learn that a French frigate arrived off that port
! on the Ist inst. that great preparations were mado
; for the reception of the Admiral, but that in con
sequence of the appearance of pirates off that
port and St Thomas, the frigate put to sea imme
diately in quest of them. The Danish vessel*?
were likewise in motion to suppress piracies in
