The Scotch Bailies and the Cigars . —ln the course of the evening his lordship whis pered to one of the fluukies to bring in some things,they could nt hear what, as the com pany might like them. The wise ones thought within themselves that the best aye come hindmost; so in brushed the valet with three dishes on his arm of twisted black things just like sticks of Gibraltar rock, but different in the color. Bailie Bow ie helped himself to a jargonelle, and Deacon Purvis to a wheen raisins, and my uncle, to show that he was not frighted, and kent what he was about, helped himself to one of the black things, which without much ceremony, he shoved into his mouth and begun to chew Two or three more, seeing that my uncle was up to trap, fol lowed his example, and chewed away like nine year olds. Instead of this curious looking black thing being sweet as honey, f.>r so they expected, they soon found they had catclied a Tartar, for it had a con founded bitter tobacco taste. Manners, however, forbade (hem laying them down again, more especially as his lordship, like a man duinfoundered, was aye keeping his eye on them. Su away they chewed, and better chew ed, and whammelled them round in then mouths first in ono cheek, and then in tin other, taking now and then a mouthful to driuk to wash the trash down, then chew ing away again, and syne another whammei from one cheek to the other, and syne ano ther mouthful, while the whole time theii een were starting in their heads like mad, and the faces they made may imagined bw cannot be described. His lordship gave his eyes a rub, and thought he was dream iug; but no, they were bodily, chewing and whammelling and making faces, so no won der that in keeping in his laugh, he sprung a button from his waistcoat, and was like to drop down from his chair, through the floor iaauecstacv of astonishment, seeing they were all growing seasick, and pale as stucco images. Frightened out of his wits at last, that he would be the death of the whole coun cil, and that more of them would pushion themselves, he took up one of the cigars, every one Knows cigars now, for they are fashiona.de among the sweeps, which he lighted at the caudle, and commenced puf fing like a tobacco pipe. My uncle and the rest, if they w’ere ill befoie, were worse now ; so when they got to the open air, instead of growing better, they grew sicker and sicker, till they were wagging from side to side, like a ship in a storm, aud, no keening whether their heels or their heads were uppermost, went spinning round like pieries.— Autobiography of AJansie ’ auch.

Melancholy Event. — During a severe gust ot wind, which arose between four and five o’clock, last Sunday evening, a boat, containing eight persons, was upset, and !V e of them were drowned. They were SR iliug,w hen the squall reached them, some where between Hog and Pearl Islands near the mouth of Lake Si Clair, and a- W thirty rods from (he American shore. In endeavouring to make the shore, the w >nd struck the sail with such violence, fi'*t the boat was nearly thrown on her heani ends, and partly filled with water.— hen she righted, some who could not B *tm, being much alarmed, thought she was sinking and began climbing the mast; and j e h°t being small, their weight caused , lei to upset The survivors do not recol* ert seeing any of the persons who are rowned, rise to the top of the water after , le J fell from the boat—their hats were all *t whs seen.

CUTHBERT, Esq. now of Monroe county, and formerly of Chatham, will be a candidate for Congress at the next election. There are few gentlemen more intimately ac i quainted with the various interests of Georgia, and better qualified to sustain them in the coun cils of the nation, than Mr. Cuthbert. His long residence in the low country,his extensive knowl , edge of mercantile affairs,—the interests of com merce, and all the bearings of trade, —will strong ly recommend him to the support of his old friends in this section of the State ; while his general knowledge of the agricultural concerns of his fel- I low citizens in the interior, will,in a peculiar man ner, qualify him to uphold their rights, and pro test their interests in Congress. Asa public speaker Mr. Cuthbert possesses un common talents. His manner is peculiarly pleas lng, mild, dignified, and respectful; his reasoning ; clear and distinct; and his range of argument embraces the whole subject in all its views and bearings. Asa politician, his course has been to* lerant and conciliating ; frank in the expression of his own opinions ; firm in the support of princi ples ; yet he has ever treated with respect and tenderness the opinions and prejudices of others. Asa citizen, a neighbor, and a Christian, his char acter stands in the fairest light; and he possesses those qualities of the heart, which bind his friends to him in ties of strong and enduring affection. The Editors of the Georgia Journal disagree with us in several of our positions in regard to the Tariff; they have arrayed against us some ten or a dozen admiration points, and quotations from the works of Ricardo and Say. Now, doubtless, these quotations are very pertinent and very in teresting—bid they cannot avail against the plain facts of the case. W e stated in the article which has been found fault with, that the price of woollens had not ad vanced in our market in consequence of the Tariff of 1824. Has this been controverted ? No, it cannot be. It is evident to all; the proof is within every one's reach; and the theoretical specula tions of Ricardo or Say, as respectable as they may be, cannot make that untrue, which is not so in reality. The notion, therefore, that the consu mer pays the duty, when the article is furnished to him as cheap as before the duty was imposed, is all a delusion. And if the manufacturer sends his goods to our market at the same price after the duty, as before, it is evident that he pays that duty and not the consumer. The Editors of the Journal are rather disinge nuous, when they refer observations which were based expressly upon the operations of, the Tariff of 1824, in regard to ‘ woollens—to the opera tions of the Tariff of 1828 upon iron. Our posi tion was, that domestic competition had kept down the price of woollens, notwithstanding the duty of 1824. r With regard to the future, the contingencies of which are veiled in doubt and obscurity, we did not attempt to speak with certainty. In truth, those prophetic dreams of speculative and theo retical writers, whose range of vision is often confined to the boundaries of their own closets, are oftep found to be unreal, w hen brought to the test of sober experience. The past only, is within our reach ; its history has passed in review before us, it is a matter of record, and we may form our estimates with accuracy and precision. Judging of the future by the past however, we intimated an opinion, that the Tariff of 1828 might give such a stimulous to domestie manufacturers, as to enable them to supply the market; counteract the apparent effect of the Tariff in raising the price, & keep it steady at old rates. Our opinion that such would be the effect was strengthened by the fact, that no rise has yet taken place : and our best in formed importing merchants do not apprehend any—they continue to sell at the old rates. The Editors of the Journal ask, “ why in the name of common sense, did the Tariffites pass the bill, if it was not to advance the price of goods ?” We answer, that there can be no doubt but that many of the friends of the measure did hope that such would he its effect. But they need not be told that in regard to all our calcula tions of the future, we are liable to error and dis appointment. The friends of the bill might have hoped for an advance in price, and they may be ! deceived. But there were others who supported the measure, not so much with a view to raise the prices, as to keep them steady at their old rates. They wished to afford a stimulous to the domestic manufacturers, to encourage them to i continue and extend their business, without sub ’ jecting them to the loss of a reduction in prices, which would result from au active competition between the domestic and foreign manufacturer. It is a w ell known principle in trade, that an ar ticle becomes cheap in market in proportion as it becomes plenty. Now, in our market, already stocked with British goods, a great reduction in price would inevitably follow any considerable in crease of our own manufacture. It was with a view to obviate this evil, to afford the American, man ufacturer a vent for his fabrics, by an attempt to diminish the activity of British competition, that the Tariff was brought forward It cannot be be lieved, by any one at all conversant in these mat ters, that the importation of British goods will entirely cease in consequence of the Tariff; or that the price of them will advance to the exact extent of the duty. If they should so advance, the American manufacturer would undersell, and the foreigner lose his market. That they may ad vance to a certain extent, is not altogether im probable. But we think it just as likely that the British manufacturer will learn to work cheaper, content himself with less profit, and still continue to send a great amount of goods to our market at the same rates as formerly. If he does this, the. duty will come out of him, and not the consumer. The quotations from Say and Ricardo, and the ten notes of admiration, to the contrary notwith standing. Now, wo do not here dispute the correctness of le position laid down in the quotations from Say and Ricardo, nor deny their authority when con- THE arc;l S.

But, if the editors of the Journal will throw off die influence of precon ! ccived notions, and view the subject with their usual good sense and clear discrimination, they will perceive a vast difference between the case cited where “ an absolute prohibition establishes a monopoly in favor of those who produce home commodities,” and the operations of a Tariff which neither prohibits foreign goods, nor establishes a monopoly. The Tariff does not,—it cannot—es tablish a monopoly ; because the clashing interests of the thousand rival establishments, scattered throughout the country, stimulate an active,never , ceasing competition. And competition tends to I the same result, viz. a gradual decrease of price, whether it exists between foreign manufacturers, foreign and domestic, or entirely between do ! mestic manufacturers. It is the neglect of attend ing to this simple circumstance, which has occa sioned those dreadful alarms in thdfyiuids of certain politicians,on applying the theories of speculative writers to the actual circumstances of our, own country. They have perceived that the obvious tendency of a duty on articles, was to 1 raise the price of those articles in the market; but ; they have entirely overlooked that strong coun teracting influence—viz. domestic competition, which is constantly operating, and which effectu ally prevents any excessive rise. We do not, as some of our Up-country friends would say, 11 go the whole hog ” for the Tariff. We are not among those who recommended the mea sure—there are many of its provisions of doubtful policy—some which bear peculiarly hard upon one section of the country, and some upon another. But it has become a law—it was made so by the majority of the Representatives of the People.— Let us then lay hold of the advantages which it presents to us, and submit as becomes good citi- I zens—sound republicans, in practice as well as thery—to the expressed will of a majority of the nation. In Virginia, the tide of public opinion has al ! ready begun to set strongly in favor of internal improvements and domestic manufactures. In that State, as well as Georgia, the politicians have been talking instead of doing, until the peo ple have discovered that Poverty , with his gaunt visage and hungry aspect, is dogging their heels, and that they must either change their policy or starve. They have already begun to turn their attention to the subjects of internal improvement and domestic manufacture. They have deter mined to improve the natural advantages of the country—to improve their plantations and make them more productive—and, instead of sending their money out of the country /©-purchase fo reign cloathing. they* have determined to manu facture for themselves The following is from an Editorial article of a paper lately established at Williamsburg. “ Another great object of our vigilant attention will be the opening prospect of Virginia’s inter nal improvement by means of canals, rail-roads, and domestic manufactures. If we mistake not the times, we are on the eve of a great and hap py combination of public spirit and social enter prise in relation to these subjects The light of truth iti at last dawning upon Virginia; her high ly gifled sons are beginning to concentrate their intelligence, and zeal, and with the natural ad vantages of the state before their eyes, and the successful example of our neighbours to the north in full view, we cannot but anticipate a sudden and rapid developement of resources and improve ments. No part of the state has more to expect from these exertions than the tide-water-country.” SUMMARY. Notwithstanding the exceeding warmth, (says the Philadelphia Aurora of July 6) and the occa- ; sional moisture, we believe our city is unusually healthy. We enquired, a few days since, of a Physician as to the effect which this state of the weather had caused among our citizens ; and he assured us, that it w r as “ miserably healthy,” with little prospect of change. During the last few days, the heat in this city (says the Nat. Journal of the Ist inst.) has been very oppressive. In situations the most secluded from the sun, the thermometer has risen to 02; while in other shady places it has risen, we be lieve, to 95. Durii\g the night, it has seldom fal len below 80. On Sunday and yesterday, we were visited with some refreshing showers, which have produced a ternporarv abatement of the heat. At this season it is the duty of everyone to avoid any unnecessary exposure to the sun between the hours of 11 and 4 ; and, with equal care, to shun whatever has a tendency to check the freedom of perspiration. Among the practices which aro most injurious, we would only specify the habit of throwing off the coat and sitting where there is a thorough current of air, while in a state of extra ordinary heat, and of endeavoring to allay the thirst then produced by agreeable, but most per nicious, draughts of cold water. We perceive by the papers that some deaths have already ensued from drinking cold water in Philadelphia and N York.

It is given in the papers Os the day, as a matter worthy of notice, that gold to the value of ten thousand dollars, has been taken out of the mines in one county, in North Carolina, since Septem ber last. During the same period, there has been taken out of the mines of one county m Pennsyl vania, gold (or what is the same thing, that which produced gold,) to the value of upwards of ! hundred thousand dollars. We allude to the coal taken out of the Schuylkill coal mines.— Philad. j Aurora. New Hampshire State Prison. —The receipts of the New Hampshire prison, for the last year, ex ceeded the disbursements, by the sum of $145,C0. The amount of sales in the year was a little more than $12,000, of which $9,351 were from the stone shop, $2,452 from the .smith’s shop, and $524 from the tailor ‘s shop. The amount of earnings above the ordinary expenses of the year, includ ing the increased value of stock on hand, and ex traordinary repairs and improvements, is estimat ed to be $2,779. for the mercury. Mr. Editor, I was met, unexpectedly, by u Baldwin ” at the very outset, with doubts of expediency and broad surmises, of what he was pleased to imagine my motive for calling the attention of the public of Savannah, to the long and arduous struggle of the Catholic Association of Ireland. 1 have not found leisure to reply until now, or I should have at tended to his communication sooner. Let me as sure “ Baldwin ” that 1 do not intend to make the subject, nor occasion, “ a hobby on which to ride into public notice since, in all probability, Mr. Editor, I shall remain unknown to every one but yourself. It is an easy matter to start objections to al most any proposition, that requires an answer at some length, if attended to at all. In reply to “ Baldwin’s ” demand, “ What have w r e to do with it,” (the Catholic Question), I an swer, that although Great Britain and Ireland are distinct from the United States, yet, in the exten sion of civil and religious freedom throughout the ‘ world, w T e have a direct interest. It will not be denied by any who have attended to the subject, that the character of this country, with regard to liberal principles, stands on an en- j viable eminence. In fact, our institutions have shed more light on the true principles of govern- ] ment, than all others together, which have pre ceded them. It was from this country liberal principles took their first impetus, and still move around it as a common centre, constantly enlarg ing their circles ; and, if true to the principles ourselves, the whole world is likely to be benefited. For, in proportion as our institutions have been learned and understood by the politicians of other nations, so have ignorance, bigotry, and oppres sion, which time nad sanctified for reason, reli gion, and good government, disappeared. To this country are all enquiring eyes turned, and satis fied in seeing religious freedom for every de nomination, in the full tide of successful experi ment. And shall I add, that whilst I write, thou sands and millions in Ireland and elsewhere, de prived of the inestimable privilege of worshiping God fVeely according to the dictates of their con sciences, bless us in their fields, and pray in their churches to the giver of every perfect gift, that he would continue to this country, as the light and last hope of the world, his blessings. With a mighty and almost vast Empire, which the fa vourable disposition of mankind gives us over the moral word, will “ Baldwin ” deny that we have advantages in peace, or should derive benefits in war from our influence, or that it is our interest to maintain the ascendancy ?—I think not. Let “ Baldwin ” be assured that our present standing has not been obtained by the narrow policy he advocates. But there is another view of the subject which appeals as much to our sympathies as men, as to our interests as citizens. For centuries, the Bri tish Government has, in vain, been endeavouring to proselyte the Catholics of Ireland to Protestant ism : Generation after generation have passed away, and, as might have been foreseen, nothing but hatred has followed the oppressive measures taken for the purpose. There are few parallel instances in the history of the world, where an attempt has been made to force more than five j millions of people to renounce their religion ; nor j would it be easy to say whether the attempt at any time, be most absurd or wicked. Such, how ever, has been the attempt in Ireland. Among the measures taken for this purpose, has been the extension of the Episcopal Church establishment to Ireland. Not to the Protestants there only, but to the Catholics also, by which the latter have been compelled to pay a tenth of all the increase of their flocks and fields, for the support of men as the curators of their souls, whom, perhaps, they never saw nor heard of. And when no tenth re mains, after the first necessities of nature are sa tisfied, then, as is often the case, the only cow, the support of otherwise starving children, is dri ven away to make good the deficiency, whilst the mother’s tears are ridiculed, and the father’s de spair menaced.—Gracious heavens ! is it in Ire land only that Mammon may of right plunder the poor, the orphan, and the widow, of their only sustenance, and in the name of him too, who went about doing good, and taking no man’s cloait nor money in return ! Can there be found for officers, men cruel enough to enforce such mea sures ; and why are not its inhabitants mad, mad beyond endurance ? We may tell the wretch to lie passive beneath the scourge, but nature has its limits, and can suffer no more. This pic ture is not an ideal one of human misery, but of every days’ occurrence; and if it were denied, could be proved beyond doubt; but it is a disgust ing one to the CbristUn world, and I dismiss it. The Church establishment has long afforded, in addition to the Army and Navy, an asylum to the younger members of noble families. Thus, whilst men of abandoned principles and dissolute morals, are often imposed on Ireland as Clergymen, all change for the better has been resisted by an aris tocracy interested to keep up the establishment as ai resource to their own families. .• The many severe penalties and disabilities to which Catholics are, by law, obnoxious, and wMeb operate mostly on the Irish, is another source es grievance. No one of that religion can fill the lowest office under Government. Thus, by a systenl of laws, operating at all times, and more cruel in their effects than the worst devas tations of war, Great Britain presses down with an iron hand Catholic Ireland, and, at the same time, holds out the hope of office to the ambitious as the price for forsaking the sufferer. The British Government, feeling the absurdity of former measures for changing the religion of Ireland, and ashamed of their effects on its wretch ed inhabitants, established free schools in many places with Protestant teachers. These were not frequented by Catholic children, because their parents preferred that they Should remain igno rant, rather thah renounce a religion on which they believed their eternal salvaUbn depended.- And, as Catholic instructors may ohly teach by stealth, the children grow up in ignorance. This class emigrate by thousands, yearly, whilst young, and in middle life, to this countrf, and are mostly destined to be heads of families ambng Us. If we have any interest (and who will deny that we have) in the moral character of our citi zens, have we not an interest in the Catholic Question of Ireland, which is likely to affect the character of so many of our fdture citizens ? The answer must be affirmatively. And the interest is increased by the certainty, that the straitened limits of Ireland will never, under the most favor able change of Government, be equal to its inha bitants ; and, therefore, that her sons will conti nue to emigrate hither. So much for our interest. Whether “ Baldwin ” possesses information of the movements of the British Government, at the time to which he has alluded, is questionable. Nor do I know that the death of Mr. Emmett was evidence of the captiousness of government. The sacrifice of such a man w r as rather evidence, I should think, ofthe reckless temper ofits ministry. It is but justice to say, that his fate excited tho sympathy of the brave and generous in England, as well as in this country. We may not now speak of the virtues of that great man and martyr of freedom, for he has forbid his epitaph to be • written until his coulitry be tree.—Rest, mighty | shade ! thy enemies cannot now mar thy fame— thy friends respect thy command and are silent. Nor may we dwell upon the history of the event ; fill period to which u Baldwin ” has alluded,—it ’ could but open anew wounds which time is heal j in £- the argument of “ Baldwin,” drawn from ; the captiousness of the British Government a * bout the time of Mr. Emmett's death, would have been unsatisfactory to himself, had he reflected, that, not only is the policy of our Government better understood now than then; but that a great change of opinion has taken place in Great Bri tain ; and recently & majority appeared in the House of Commons in &vour of the Question. The difficulty in the Catholics is now in i *hc House ot Lords, and nothing but the united voice of the Commons of England will remove it. The expression of public sentiment in this coun try will quicken that of England. For it is from us British politicians have, and must borrow tlieir ideas ot religious freedom, as necessarily as their merchants import such of out produce to which their climate is unadapted for its growth, j “Emmett” has so ably replied (for whibh I thank him) to “ Baldwin,” that it is unnecessary to further notice that writer. The South American cause drew sympathy and support from our citizens, and, at the present time, the Greeks are receiving aid ; yet neither South Americans, nor Greeks, will ever make an integral part of our population, but Ireland is daily sending from her bosom her sons, by thou sands, into this country, who amalgamate and aro lost in the mass of our citizens. These emigrants may have their vices, but none will deny that they have their virtues : their vices have sprung from the Government under which they lived, their virtues belong to their nature. The story of their country’s wrongs, so often told here, has ceased to be novel, and no longer excites sympathy. Well, then, I appeal to the j udgments of our citi zens, whether a people without any fault, other than the misfortune to differ from their rulers on some religious joints, should be oppressed, im poverished, and watched with suspicion for cen turies ? * MONTGOMERY. Mad Dogs. —A mad dbg was killed on the 24th ult. in Warren street, (New York) the animal had been shut up in a yard and had not bitten arty per son. It is stated in the Baltimore papers of the 2Cth, that two persons had died suddenly in that city the previous day. in consequence of drinking cold water. One of them had left a wife and six chil dren. James Monroe, Ex-President of the U. States arrived at Renshaw's U. S. Hotel, from N. York’ on the evening of tke 26th. The Paris West Tennessean advertises the lands ordered to be sold for taxes. Attached to the description of the respective tracts are remarks similar to the following—“ Taxes eighty-seven, and a half cents , clerk’s fee four dollars twenty cents, sheriff ‘s fee three dollars, printer’s fee four dollars.” Here are eleven dollars and twenty cents to be paid for the collection of 87 1-2 cents. General Lafayette, on the 13th Maypresented a proposition to the Chamber of Deputies, the ob ject of which was to request the King to restore the National Guard. The proposition excited much conversation among various groups of the deputies, which had formed in the Chamber. The Springs. —The Saratoga Sentinel of the 24tii June, says that no less than 250 or 300 stran gers arriyed in that village during the past week ; a drit was estimated there were between 3 and 4 W at the Congress fountain last Monday morn ing. A man cut his throat and jumped overboard from one of the ships at the Navy Y’ard in Charles town, (Mass ) on the morning of the 19th ult. He was taken up before life was extinct, and it is said is likely to recover. Cotton Canvass. —Captains Warrington, Wool sey and Wilkinson, of the U. S. Navy, Messrs. Mezick, E. Tyson, and Wm. Wilson & sons, mer chants of Baltimore, Capts Curtis and Be van and five other shipmasters of that cLy, have given their testimony in favor of Cotton Canvass for the sails of vessels, more especially for square sails, as cheaper than Russian Duck, in holding the wind better and wearing longer: without being more liable to mildew than other duck. The exten sive establishment of Mr. Cook in Baltimore is capable of supplying 200,000 yards annually. [No. 7 —Vol. 1.
