s.iTVRr>.iY Moit.yi.ya, jvly 12, isa*. 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. Ei 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. X York Banks. —The Tradesmen’s Bank has declared a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent.— Phoenix Bank, 3 1-2. The President of the United States was to have commenced the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, on the 4th instant, by using the first shovel on the 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 to the managers of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company, a block of marble for a corner stone. 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 ties. 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 ena—sup and sleep at Brazil ! —Next morning 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 wall at China, Bengal, Cape of Good Hope, E gypt Constantinople, and return to Cheapside in a week !!! It was probably in relation to the late wonderful improvements upon the steam engines, and the novel purposes to which steam is about to be applied, that an Irishman observed, “Faith, ho ney, we shall-eoon go fox-hunting on tea-kettles.” The President of Colombia has prohibited the use of Jeremy Bent ham’s treatises on Civil and Political Legislation, in the Universities of that Republic. 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.

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 speaking.— Boston Gazette.
