It seems evident, that there are many indivi
duals in this country, of high standing and exten
sive influence, who have all along been hostile to
the Union of the States ; who have considered the
lustre of their own glory as eclipsed by the loftier
names which may be found in the political calen
der of the Union ; who have felt their aristrocrat
ical pride mortified by a conjunction with the un
ostentatious fanners, the humble mechanics, the
tjpinnerS and weavers of the north ; and who, in
CoTiS&quence, have been anxiously watching, care
fully noting the signs of the times, for a favor
able opportunity to produce a schism in the
Union, and establish a more splendid Government
South of the Potomac. It is for this that every
Symptom of excitement in the public mind is
marked, and made the most of ; it is for this that
local prejudices are disseminated, stimulated and
exasperated ; it is for this, that the statesmen and
politicians of one section of our country are said
to be hostile to the interests, perseveringly bent
on trampling on the rights and privileges of ano
ther. And it is also for this* that we have been
seriously called on and advised to calculate the
advantages of the Union ! It was from this set
tled hostility to the institutions of our country,
that the controversy between this State and the
General Govermcnt, was pushed to the utmost
bounds of subordination, by crafty politicians,
who stood behind the scenes and hid their hands
while they moved the wires ; and from the same
cause has originated the present excitement in
our neighbouring state. We would by no means,
however, be understood as accusing the great
body of the people, even those who appear most
inflamed, with harboring any feelings really hos
tile to the constitution of the country : such feel
ings, in general, we know to be strangers to
them; but they are the dupes of a few artful de
magogues, who, pretendedly cold, mild and can
did, are covertly using every exertion to stimu
late others to madness and desperation.
Among the politicians of this class, Gov. Giles
of Virginia has lately become conspicuous; and
we find, from a recurrence to the newspapers of
former times, that he was always noted for his
hostility to the Union of the States. The following
address to him was published in the news-papers
of Richmond, in 1709, and extensively circulated;
and the charge of his having at that time ex
• pressed a desire to see a separation of the States,
was not, we believe, contradicted; and, indeed,
we may infer that his wishes on this subject have
not yet undergone the least change. This fact
may tend to elucidate his doctrines of State
Rights.
Richmond, January 25, 1700.
To William B. Giles, Esq.
Sir. —ln company last evening, at the Swan
Tavern, I heard a gentleman say, that you had
declared it was your desire to see a separation of
this State from the general Union! I called upon
that gentleman to know if he heard it from you
himself, which he informed me was not the case,
but told me where I might be better informed
upon the subject. I waited upon the gentleman
this morning, who was at table with you, and he
•avs that you did unequivocally declare it to be
your wish and object to effect a dissolution of the
Federal compact, and bring about such a separa
tion. The object of this, is therefore to know of
you, whether these assertions were made by you,
—and whether you were serious in such a decla
ration ? Because, if you are, I think it time for
every friend of his country's welfare to prepare
for such an event.
I am your humble servant,
J. NELSON.
Richmond, January 24, 1709.
It is stated in the Statesman and Patriot, that
** the enlargement of the State House is progress
ing under very promising auspices of completion,
before the period of convention for the next Le
gislature. Like the Capitol kt Washington, it
Seems well caculated to afford, in the basement
Story, a number of delicious refectories for the
refreshment of members who have borne the bur
den and heat so long of treating othei 3 *, if haply,*
they might gain their election. This brings up
to our extreme disgust, the grand entrance, or
front door, through which our worthy servants
must crouch their dark way to the Representative
Hall. From its perfect resemblance, it puts you
in mind of the door of one of the victualling stalls
under Fulton Market; it is so low, so dark, and
so like any thing but what it should be. It might
answer well enough to back drays into for shel
ter, but not for the front door of a State House.
Jt is constructed, however, accordingly to the
plan of the Chief Civil Engineer ; but, we hope
the undertaker, relying on the unanimous appro
bation of the Legislature, will defer the comple
tion of this part of the work until their voice can
bo taken at the next Session.’ 1
The Augusta Courier states, that the keeper
of the Augusta Bridge, on the Georgia side, had
bscn diroetod-t* take toll from travellers on one
side alone; so that persons passing this great
high-way will not be doubly taxed as heretofore.
The Courier also remarks that crops of corn in
that neighbourhood are very promising.
The Boys of Franklin College have had a meet
ing, and scolded sharply at the Taritf. They de
clare, that “ they knotv full well the evils that
will result from the system,” and therefore, say
they, “ let us proclaim to the [universal] world
eur disapprobation of such intrusions on our con
stitutional privileges!” “ What will Mrs. Grundy
say to this ?” They also resolve to dress in home
epun. They had better be at their accidence.
SUMMARY.
The Boston Statesman, after noticing the for
mation of the “ Irish Emancipation Society of Ma
ryland,” Concludes in the following language :
“ It must gratify the Society in Boston to see
that the cause they endeavor to promote has
found zealous and active coadjutors among the li
beial minded in different parts of the U. States.—
It is impossible that New York, with her thirty
thousand Irish emigrants, can lbng delay to fol
low the example of Boston, Philadelphia, and Bal
timore.” ,
A general meeting of the citizens of Philadel
phia* friendly to the General Government, was to
hav* been held on the 7th inst. The call is made
by abput seventy es the most respectable citizens
eft&tcity, whose names are signed to it.

An elegant sloop of war, called the Fairfield, was
launched from the Navy Yard at New York, on
Saturday forenoon, 28th ult.
A meeting was held at Merchants’ Hall, Bos
ton, on Friday,27th ult. of persons interested in
goods expected soon to arrive from foreign ports,
and a committee was appointed to employ pilot
boats, for the purpose of giving notice to such
vessels as might arrive in the bay, and bringing
them or their manifests into port, before the ope
ration of the new tariff.
Three men were arrested at Newport, (R. I.) on
the 25th ult. on suspicion of having robbed the
Bank at Exeter, (N. II.) and committed to prison
for further examination; ’
Capt. Jonathan Brooks, late of the U. S. army,
while travelling on business, towards the western
parts of New York, was lately murdered in what
is called the Beech Woods, and robbed of between
$2,000 and $3,000.
A man named J. C. King, who has acted as a
merchant’s clerk, was arrested on the 30th ult. in
New York, at the Branch Bank, on a charge of
presenting a forged check for SSOO, purporting to
have been drawn by Mr. P. Bosquet, jun.

work.
Major General Scott lately arrived in New
York.
Two boys were drowned in Baltimore, on the
Sunday, the 29th ult. during the storm, by the up
setting of a sail boat. Two others, also, lost their
lives by the capsizing of a canoe.
The stone cutters of Baltimore have presented

Literacy. —Mrs. Stebbins, the authoress of
“ Tales of the Fire Side,” has in preparation, and
nearly ready for the press.a volume entitled “Tales
of the Emerald Isle.”
Punishment for Riot. —At a late session in Sa
lem, in the Court of Common Plea 6, Judge WiJ
liams presiding, Charles C. Ramsay was tried for
a riot of an aggravating nature at Haverhill,Mass
found guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment, in
the common jail, for the term of two months. If
appeared in this case, that the defendant, with se
veral others, attacked a defenceless old gentleman,
besmeared his face with tar and filth, dragged
him by a rope to the river, and plunged him in.—
The transaction was most barbarous, and the pri
soner ought to contratulate himself on his good
fortune in escaping a more severe punishment.
The plan in contemplation, for multiplying
schools, providing teachers and promoting educa.
tion through the state of New Jersey, is progress*
ing successfully. It is proposed to attempt co
operating in this benevolent enterprise by coun

Judicial Oath. —At a late session of the Supreme
Court of Errors in Litchfield County, (Con.) pre
sent Justices Hosmer, Peters, Lantnan. and Dag
gett, it was decided,in a case which related to the
validity of testimony, that the testimony of an o
pen, professed Universalist, is not good in law.
Mad Dog. —A dog having all the symptoms of
hydrophobia was kflled in a back-yard in Water
street, near Maiden Lane, New York, on the 30th
ult. The animal had made ail attempt to bite one
or two persons belonging to the house previous to
its being killed.
Dissection. —lt was said by a surgeon ofthe pre
sent day, distinguished by his genius and eccen
tricity, that “ surgeons must mangle either dead
bodies or living ones.”
It was published not long since that a Lieuten
ant in the English Navy had invented a paddle
wheel by which boats could be propelled even at
the rate of 100 miles an hour. >V A London editor
remarks upon the wonderful effects of this most
wonderful discovery in this strain :
“We shall therefore soon be able to cross from
Dover to Calais in 10 or 12 minutes. From Lon
don to Lisbon will occupy a day ! and our cockney
citizens, instead of making Margate the neplus ul
tra of their summer excursions, will very shortly
be enabled to embark at Tower Stairs—breakfast
at Madeira dine upon Bonaparte’s tomb at St. Hel

breakfast at Cape Horn—dine at Lima, and sup at
Kamschatka.” -
Third day breakfast at the Otahietc—dine at
Canton, and sup at Loo Choo ! —Visit the great

wonderful improvements upon the steam engines,
and the novel purposes to which steam is about to
be applied, that an Irishman observed, “Faith, ho

The President of Colombia has prohibited the

In resigning into the hands of the National
Convention, the mace of the president and the
sword of the General, the Liberator cautions that
body against a neglect of duties, signifies to them
that the public credit is at the lowest ebb, and the
government itself ill-constituted—the right of suf
frage being too diffusive, and the legislative body
possessed of too much power ; that civil courts
should no longer have jurisdiction over military
cases ; that subordination had been destroyed by
the impertinent interference of subalterns, in af
fairs appertaining to superiors ; and that no pub
lic officer, the treasurer excepted, had revived
half his pay ; and that Colombia could not expect
to be valued by other nations, until she showed
herself capable of regulating her internal affairs
—which must be d< pe by a stronger executive
and inexorable laws:— U. S. Gaz.
Mr. Bartlett, —I take it, from what I have
seen heretofore, that you intend, in your Edito
rial career, to be liberal and candid ; and support
measures by the light of truth only ; leaving a
buse and misrepresentation to those to whom they
more properly belong. With this understanding,
I send you an extract from a Jackson official pa-
per in Kentucky ; you will perceive that the
Editor, who is a Jackson man, attributes the pas
sage ofthe Tariff to the exertions of Jackson and
his friends, and calls it a Jackson measure—says
the friends of Adams endeavoured to defeat it.
Now, you know, the-Jackson editors of this State
have a]ong told us, that it was the Adams men,
and the Eastern States, who passed the Tariff;
although I find, by looking at the journals, that a
majority*of the New England States voted against
it; and, posed a good inanv of my Jack
son friendsHo tell, how the Adams men, while a
minority in Congress, could pass a law while
the friends of Jackson, who were the majority,
opposed it. But Duff Green said so ; and some
pretended to believe him. It appears, therefore,
that the Tariff is a Jackson measure, passed by a
Jackson Congress ; and that it was opposed by a
majority of the New England men, and Adam's
friends. Let every thing, Mr. Editor, be called
by their right names.
From the Kentucky Gazetto.
“ The course pursued by the administra
tion party, in regard to the Tariff, has been
characterized by duplicity and inconsisten
cy throughout When this bill was fiist
reported by the committee on Manufac
tures, a majority of whom were Jackson
men, in pursuance of orders from head
quarters, almost every Adams press in the
Union assailed it as being worse than no
thing, gotten up by the enemies of the“greal
American System ’* Every attempt was
made by the Elmnyites in Congress to em
barrass the progress of this bill and defeat
it. They offered amendment after amend
ment, and naile long speeches on them, in
order to produce delay. A few unimpor
tant amendments were made to the bill.—
The Adams men opposed its passage in
long harangues ; but at length perceiving a
determination on the part of the friends of
General Jackson to carry it through, some
of those very Adams men who had spoken
and done all they cauld to defeat the mea
sure, turned round and voted f i its passage.
And 10, and behold the same Adams presses
who hut a short time previous denounced
the bill as a mere trick and contrivance of
the Jackson party, now laud it as a very
judicious measure, and are striving to make
• t appear that the country is indebted to
the* po'4y for its passage, and that
he Jacksofiians, as a party, were opposed
to it ! This is the height of impudence.—
Let not the people be mistaken on this
subject. It is so a Jackson Congress they
are indebted for the benefits that m>y ac
crue from the present Tariff law. If they
■ ffer themselves to bo imposed upon by
tie putizms of Mr. Adamson this sub
let, let them take the consequences. We
trust, however, they will undeistand their
own interest.*
FOR THE MERCURY.
There is no association, no society upon earth,
so eminently calculated to call for the sympathies
of patriots and Christians as the “Catholic Asso
ciation” of Ireland. The object ofthe “Bible So
ciety” is to disseminate the Gospel among the
heathen, or the poor and ignorant of the Christian
world. Missionaries are deputed to preach, and
disseminate the tenet* of the same Gospel, among
idolaters and infidels. All this is praiseworthy,
and the aspiration of every good A pious min must
be, “ may God crown their efforts with success !”
But. I would ask, which act is the most accepta
j ble in the sight of the Deity,—relief to the op
pressed Christians,or p reaching (with a problema
tical result) to pagans and Mahometans ? In the
cause ofthe Irish Catholics, theie are millions of
our Christian brethren, who, with their blood,their
fortunes and their talents, would support the pro
testant succession, and what is called the British
Constitution, with as much zeal as Englishmen
would do— provided, the rights and privileges of
Englishmen were extended to them. They only
want their rights attached to the civil liberty of
Englishmen, with an enjoyment of Catholic faith,
to be as good and faithfuhsubjnets as their protes
tant brethren. Sir Francis JBurdett, in his late
speech on Catholic emancipation, has conclusive
ly shown, that not only the treaty of Limeric has
been violated, but that the union of Ireland could
not have been effected without the hopes held out,
and tna pledges given, that Catholic emancipa
tion would be the result of a consolidated empire.
also, by a reference to historical facts,
shewn that the protestant causo in its conte t with
the house of Stewart, owes more obligations to
Catholic fidelity, than to Scotch adhesion. Still
the Irish Catholic is regarded as a kind of vassal,
whilst the Scotch Presbyterian, (with a kirk, and
doctrines almost as much at variance with the En
glish Church, and her Episcopal doctrines, as
Catholics with proicstantisin)—is left in the full
and dignified possession of his religion, law, and
conventional liberty. In these days, and this age,
the philosopher, the patriot and the Christian may
put the questions,—and with boldness and confi
dence too, — “ why this discriminat •wi, —why
doubt tiie devotion ofthe Irish Catholic, to the
Protestant succession, or his allegiance to the Bri
tish Constitution ?” If it is answered, “because
the Irish Catholic believes in the supremacy of the
Pope, and because he of krs up prayers to the holy
Virgin, and the Baints”—Suppose he believes in
all this, with purgatory, and his seven sacraments i
into the bargain, what has his creed to do with ;
political institutions ? The Pope is only supreme \
in spiritual affairs, —he has no controul over the 1
political consciences of Catholics, and if found in
arms against a government, of which Catholics
are subjects, a Catholic might put him to death, i
without more religious scruples, than would in- j
fluence him in destroying any other enemy of his •
country. Such has been the march of Intellect
since the Popes could depose kings, and fulminate
their anathemas.
Metaphysical differences exist—forms of wor
ship are variant, yet their differences, and their j
forms, afe matters of human institution ; and. as j
to their orthodoxy, God only can judge. The
Protestant believes he is right, the Catholic knows
that his church is infallible. The controversy rests
upon scripture quotations, suppositions as to the
practices and worship and ritual of the primitive •
church, and her traditions. It i6 a controversy
whicli admits of no compromise between the bi- j
got Catholic and the bigot Protestant.
The liberal and enlightened on both sides, j
acknowledge the folly and impiety in j
requiring a sacrifice of religious belief as a sine
qua non of participation of all the rights of civil
and political liberty. 1 his feeling has been man
ifested by a recent vote of the House of Commons.
We Americans are only called upon to give our
influent, with'other means at our disposal, to aid
Calßos Christians in their holy efforts to obtain
the blessings of religious and civil liberty,of which
they are deprived by protestant Christians. A
zeal in such u cause, is, in my estimation of faith
and good works, a hundred times more commen
dable than that which has been evinced for the
conversion of a few Hindoos and Mahometans.—
Throw down the barriers which separate the Ca
tholic and protestant Christian, in relation to pub
lic rights, love, charity, and brotherly association,
will follow us in this great Republic between all
sects—and then, the sensibility now felt for pa
gans will find a much better apology than it can
now, in the cold-blooded sarcasms ofsuch Ameri
cans as “ Baldwin.”
i am, and will over be, what I subscribe myself,
A PROTESTANT.
COMMUNICATED.
Mr. Editor— The rabid opponents ot Ta
riff in this State afid South Carolina, have adopt
ed a most disingenuous artifice to rentier the peo
ple of New England odious to their fellow-citizens
ofthe South, in'•elation to this measure. lie
writers for the Charleston Mercury, Columbia lel
escope, Soutikron, Ac. are constantly crying out
against the cupidity, avarice and injustice or Nor
thern manufacturers, whom they hold up to the
execration ofthe South, as the men who have tas
tened upon the country all the evils which are
expected (for none are yet realized) to result from
the late increase ot duties. But what are the tacts.
Let the Journals of Congress be examined, and
it will be found that ofthe New England Delega
tion. sixteen voted for, and twenty-three against,
the Tariff Bill. From Massachusetts, tlie largest
ofthe N. E States, and possessing a greater man
ufacturing capital than all the rest, only two Re
presentatives supported the bill—her Senators
were divided. Maine “went the whole” against
it, with as much zeal, and more discretion, than
South Carolina. The Delegation from Rhode Is
land, decidedly a manufacturing State, were
equally divided —but the Manufacturers of Pro
vidence sent to Washington a spirited remon
strance against the whole prohibitory system ! !
The truth is, a large portion of New England will
suffer more from this law, than any part of the
South ; —and yet it corresponds with the boasted
magnanimity, chivalry ; and love of justice of some
Southern editors, and political doctors, to resort
to artifice and misrepresentation in order to in
flame old prejudices, and subserve the worst
purposes 1 Why not tell their readers the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth—that
the great agricultural states of New-York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, and Kentucky, have made this
Tariff, aided, indeed, by others of the Western
and Middle sections, and deriving no little coun
tenance from Maryland, and even Virginia ! But,
in the popular branch of Congress, New England
was against them. But jVeic England supports
Mr. Adams; and the real Tariff States are those
I in which the great battle is to be fought, and the
■ issue is extremely doubtful. It would, therefore,
be bad policy to denounce the New-Yorkers, Penn
gylranians, Kentuckians, Ac. with the uninea-
J sured bitterness and reproachful epithets thrown
! upon the Yankees. The freemen of those great
; States might not be disposed to bear such taunts ;
j and if South Carolina choose to unfurl the “ Rat
: tlesnake Jlug,” it will be their business to see that
the American Eagle soars as proudly and as high,
as if no reptile attempt had been made to eclipse
his glory. A small change of sentiment in rela
tion to men, not to measures, in some ofthe Mid
dle and Western States, might cost Gen. Jackson
50 or 75 electoral votes, which, I take it, lie can
not very well spare.
As an evidence of the feeling of the Western
Jackson men, on the subject of the Tariff, a great
“ Jackson Tariff Dinner ” was given in Cincinalti,
in May last, to Henry Baldwin, of Pittsburgh, “ to
whom,” |ays the Committee, “ more than any
other individual, this country is indebted for the
Protecting System.” The object was to rob Hen
ry Clay of his Tariff laurels; so Mr. Baldwin
went into a history ofthe “ American System,”—
scolded the Eastern States roundly for their for
mer coldness, and present opposition—charged.
Mr. Adams with indifference on the subject—said
no one knew his real opinions ; —he had never re
commended a Tariff to Congress, and no true
friend of the American System could venture to
roly on the President’s support of it. But General
Jackson had been an avowed and consistent friend
of that system —they had his “ public pledge
i and he could be trusted. “ With a majority of
General Jackson’s friends in Congress,” said Mr.
Baldwin, “ a Tariff’ has past, which will produce
more benefits to the country than any bill ever be
fore passed, viewed as a single act of Legislation.”
Ofthe Southern people he spoke quite kindly—•
pitied their “ delusion ” —but hoped it would be
of short continuance. “ The Cotton Gin,” says
he, “ taught them one important lesson, and the,
steam engine will teach them one of equal bn- ]
portanco.”
Such are the means resorted to in the West to
pass off the Tariff as a Jackson measure —and one
which ought to ensure the General's election ; j
| and such are the pitiful attempts made in liter
’ South to throw the whole odium of the law on
Mr. Adams, and his New England friends, rather
than offend, just at present, the Jacksonians of,
those States most decidedly in favor of high Ta- !
riff duties.
JUSTICE.
New Haven. June 28.
The waters of the Farmington river reached j
the suburbs of this city several davs ago. As was
expected, considerable difficulty has been experi
enced in driving the water over the sandy plains
in the lower part of Hamden, and North part of
this town, so as to unite with the waters in our i
harbour. By the exertions, however, of Captain !
George Rowland, and several other citizens who ,
have volunteered their services for several days .
past in puddling the bottom of the Canal with ;
loam and clay, the difficulties are nearly sur- :
mounted—and it is believed, by good judges of
the building of Rome, that the Canal will be in ]
fall operation by the first of August next.
P. S. An embankment gave wav at Farmington j
yesterday morning ; but we are informed that the
breach will fe fully repaired this day.
The British Consul at this port,, has received
officially, a description ofthe Piratical Brig.wh > h
committed the outrage on the English ship Morn
ing Star, near the island of Ascension, on the 19th
of February last, of which the following is a
copy :
“ A long, low. and very broad hull, very square
rigged ; his three jibs almost of the same size,
and very large ; his topsails, courses, top gallant
sails and royals, all very square ; sky sail poles,
but did not set sails on them ; his fore and aft
main sails very small in proportion to his other
sails, or to the general run of merchant brigs ;
very much ranched in the after leach, quite con
trary to an English brig’s sails of that sort; sits
on tne water like a cutter, and always too with
his topsails aback ; painted black over a dark yel
low streak, as if suddenly done to disguise him
self ; has two quarter boats, and one astern ; a
remarkably fast sailer.”
The Sunbury, of Liverpool, was plundered on
the Bth of April, in lat. 41, long 22, by a piratical
brig, under Buenos Ayrean colours, of about 220
tons, crew principally Italians and Spaniards ; the
man who took the lead, called himself an Ameri
can, and acted as interpreter; she was painted
yellow r on the buhvarks, with ports; mounted six
carriage guns, besides a large gun on a swivel.
Possibly the same pirate that robbed the Morning
Star.

The Consul most earnestly requests the Mas
ters of vessels galling from ports in the U. States,
if they should fall in with any suspicious brig, an- i
swering the above descriptions, to give the ear
liest information thereof to any of his Britannic
Majesty's ships of war, or, indeed, to any ship of
war, which they may have an oppoitunity of
