THE ARGUS.
fll AMTO*
JBDXDAYMORXIXQi JULY 28,1828.
Though the politeness of our friends, we have
received commercial letters, and prices current,
under date of Liverpool, June 16, received per
ship New York.
It cannot but be remarked, that those sections
of our State, where the operations of the Tariff
are more clearly seen, and better understood ; and
where its ill effects—if such there be—must bo
immediately felt—evince but few symptoms of
irritation on account of the late law. While in
other sections, where they neither see nor feel its
effects, some considerable uneasiness is displayed
on the subject. What inference can we draw
from these facts, but that ignorance and mistake,
are the true causes of the excitement. And that
disingenuous politicians, taking advantage of
these fears and these errors, unworthily labor to
get up an excitement, which may subserve their
own dishonest purposes ?
On the mercantile interest will the burdens im
posed by the Tariff, be first felt. Yet in Savannah
and Augusta, where these interests are predomi
nant, we hear of no meetings, no resolutions, no
threats to dissolve the Union. Yet in the back
country, among the middling farmers, where nine
out of ten have alw r ays dressed in homespun, fears
are excited lest they should be ruined by the duty
on broadcloth ! People who never purchased a yard
in the whole course of their lives, are rendered
desperate with the idea that it may advance in
price ! People who know notliing about the ope
rations of commerce, who neither understand nor
regard its rights, and wdio would scarcely know’ a
sbip from a wheel-barrow, have become obstrepe
rous in their fears, that their shipping interests
will suffer in consequence of the Tariff! Surely
these things need explanation.
SUMMARY.
Iron Ore. —A bed of iron ore has been discover
ed near the line of the proposed railway from Ithi
ca to Oswego, about nine miles from the latter
village. Great masses have been found in a ra
vine, two feet from the surface. A small speci
men which ha 6 been analyzed, has been found to
yield thirty per cent, of pure oxide of iron.
A numerous meeting of tiie natives of Ireland,
was held at Rochester, N. Y. on the 28th ult. and
resolutions entered into to form a Hibernian Soci
ety in that village.
Ohio River. —The Wheeling Gazette of July
12th says the Ohio is about three feet above low
water mark
Loiter Canada. —The Quebec Mercury of the
Bth. states that it w now certain that Lieut. Gen.
Sir James Kempt succeeds the Earl of Dalhousie,
as Governor-in-Chief, and that Sir Francis Bur
ton will follow Sir James Kempt, in the govern
ment of Nova Scotia.
A letter received in Philadelphia, from an offi
cer of the United States schooner Grampus, W.
K. Latimer, Esq. commander, mentions the de
parture of that vessel, on the 15th June, from St
Jago de Cuba, for Port Royal, Jamaica. All on
board tvere well.
The Legislature of Maine, at its next session,
will have to elect two United States’ Senators.—
The term of service of Mr. Chandler has expired,
and Mr. Farris has been appointed a Judge of the
Supreme Court of that state.
Miss Frances Wright has taken charge of the
New Harmony Gazette; and in the first paper is
sued under her superintendence, quotes with appro
bation an argument to prove that marriages are
invalid, where the dispositions of the contracting
parties turn out to be uncongenial.

is going ou with gloat power and
rapidity with her Canal. About eighty miles of
her Canal, that is, from Pittsburg to the Northern
Turnpike, will be in successful operation, it is be
lieved, in about three months; the residue, about
thirty miles, to the Western base of the Allegha
ny Mountain, will be put under contract on the
first of September; and the Rail Road over the
Mountain, about thirty-five miles, will be under
contract this Fall, to be completed the next sea
son. The average number of hands employed
this season has been above four thousand, and the
monthly disbursements of money eighty or a hun
dred thousand dollars The Pennsylvanians have
reason to be proud of this great work, which they
carry on in the only way in which important pub
lic improvements ever can be effected.
A little girl (says the Philadelphia Democratic
Press) about two years of age, was found yester
day morning, about 4 o’clock, asleep in the road,
near the Asylum in Arch street. She had on a
green bonnet, a white cloak, and a calico frock.—
A note was found in her bosom, stating that her
parents had come from England, and were both
dead; that the person who had kept the child since
could afford to do so no longer, and that her name
was “ Eliza.” She is now in the care of Mrs.
Small, corner of Callowhill, and Eighth streets
from Schuylkill.
Mr. Editor : Amidst the various vicissitudes of
human life,, the wants of poverty, the vengeful iro
of the rich, “the proud man’s contumely, or the
oppressor ‘s w rong”—there is one attribute of the
human soul, one privilege given to us by nature’s
God, that cannot be subdued, but with life. ’Tis
the privilege of thinking to ourself. And in the
exercise of this great natural privilege, I presume
1 shall be excused for giving utterance to reflect
tions, when the motive is not personal. When I
see young men repeatedly visiting dram shops,
thinks I to myself, you had better take two or
three doses of Dr. Chambers’ medicine. When I
see one whose means are small, indulging in ail
the vaif ties of life, thinks I to myself, you are
hoarding miseries. When J 6ee children playing
in the streets on the Sabbath day, thinks I to my
self, an incontestible evidence of the immorality
of parents and guardians. When I sq,e people run
ning horses in the streets, thinks 1 to myself, what

When I see a splendid sign over a merchant’s
door, thinks X to myself, you anticipate better

times. W T hen I see people exhibit their T uest
dresses, or most splendid apparel, ingoing to wor- i
ship God, thinks 1 to'myself, as the Royal Psalm- j
ist thought to himself, all this is vanity. Whea ’
I see people, candidates for office, extremely firio i- I
ly before election, and indifferent aft-arv. rds, j
thinks I to myself, a vote given to hypocrisy>-
When I see officers solemnly sworn to keep and
upport the laws of the State, guilty themselves
of breaches of it, thinks I to myself, is this perju- ‘
ry ? When I see people selling cotton with fair
samples at each end of the bag, and inferior cot* j
ton in the centre, thinks I to myself, the seller is ,
more knave than fool. When I see poople stand- l
ing in the doors of Churches, either before or af- >
ter service, to the detriment of those who wish to .
go in or out, thinks I to myself, you have more
impudence than brains. When I see people irri
tated at the little trifling jokes passed upon them
by their acquaintance, thinks I to myself, *
“Little children never let such angry passions rise,
Your little hands were made to tear each
other’s eyes.
When I hear people talk about restrictions—un
constitutional duties-,—State rights—dismember
ment of the Union—awful consequences of a Ta
riff—denouncing its makers—anathamizing Nor
thern manufactures, and Northern influence—and
they themselves working, screwing, twisting, and
even borrowing, for the purpose of raising money
to spend at the North, thereby impoverishing the ‘
State some hundred thousand dollars—thinks I to !
myself, these political declamators remind me of
the story of the mountain in labor—that conceived
and brought forth a mouse. X. Y. X.
THE YANKEE IN GEORGIA,
MILLEDGE VILLE, MARCH,
To Mr. Ichabod Flogginbottom, Blossomdalc Vil
lage, Vermont.
Dear Sir : My last letter informed you of my 1
arrival at Louisville, in no very pacific frame of
mind, owing to several accidents and misadven
tures, which had happened to me on tkc road.—
Louisville is one of the oldest up-country villages
in the State—contains some 60 or 80 houses and
stores ; but the trade and prosperity of the place
have long been on the decline—wealth and enter
prise have all “moved to the purchase.” It was
for many years the seat of the State Government;
but every thing is on the move in Georgia. On
acquiring anew slip of land from the Indians, the
State House “ wa3 bundled up,” and “moved to
the purchase.” Tho citizens of Louisville exhibit
ed the appearance of more refinement and intelli
gence, than I had been led to expect from a de
scription of the trackers , which had been given to
me in Savannah—and who were baid to be “ half
horse half-alligator.”
I accidentally fell in company with judge ,
of the circuit. He has the reputation of
being the soundest lawyer in the State ; quite
plain and republican in his address; uniting the
most polished and gentlemanly nvmjars, with the
highest talents and most unexceptionable princi
ples. On the rad from Louisville to Milledge- :
ville, I met with no incident worthy of notice.— i
I could not, however, but observe the wretched ’>
system of agriculture, which seems every, where *
to prevail. The people pay but little attention to .
to the improvement of their lands, and none at ’
all to the comfort and convenience of their dwel
lings. Even those who are above middling cir
cumstances, mostly live, or rather eiry, in log
cabins, neither wind nor water tight, and their
usual fare is bacon and greens, the year round.— ‘
This all results from the “moving” spiiit which
seems to possess the people of ihis State. I have not
yet met with the planter who considered himself;
settled for five years. “After next crop, I expect ,
to move to the purehaso,” is in the mouth of eve- ;
ry one. I arrived in Milledgeville just as the ear
ly sun-beams were glittering on the tops of the
houses; and the various groups, scattered over the
“seven hills,” afforded a beautiful and picturesque
prospect. I took lodgings at the Farmers’ Hotel ,
and met with accommodations which are not of-
ten exceeded. More than all, I admired the ele
gant and extensive arrangement of the Reading
Room—where may bo found the leading
from all parts of the United States, with the liter
ary periodicals, new novels, &c. ;
Milledgeville is the present scat of government
of Georgia, situate near the centre of the State,
on the Western bank of the Oconee, contains
something like 200 houses and stores, and a po
pulation of about 1,500. It was within a few
years, a place of some trade and commercial im
portance. But that “moving spirit” which pos
sesses every body, appeared, and changed every
thing here. On obtainingnew lands from the In
dians, the people, as usual, “moved to the pur
chase,” and they took a fancy of carrying again
the State House along with them. This town
having grown up under the patronage of the
State, and deriving much of its business from the
location of the public offices, and the annual ses
sions of the Legislature, was parali2cd at the first
opening of the project, 5.3 if struck by the rod of
the enchanter. Houses unfinished remain so;
those erected were suffered to tumble dow r n ; ca
pital left the place, and enterprise was annihilated.
But the good sense of the last Legislature pre
vailed over the besetting sin of the people, and a
renewed pledge was given that the “State House
should remain at Milledgeville.” The effects of
this measure arc already perceptible, in the late
improvements of the place.
Yesterday, in ray rarnbK over town, I strayed
into the village Church yi*rd. It is situate in the
Western suburbs, on the summit of a gentle ‘■‘mi
nonce, elevated rather above the busy part of
town, and divided from it by a natural ravine. It
is a beautiful and romantic spot. Here the eye
may catch tho earliest beam of tho rising sun, and
hie last depar ting ray. A silent and appropriate
spot, for the long and drearn ; ess slumber of the
dead. It has always been u. favorite employment
of mine, to saunter among graves and tombstones,
and the fast mouldering monuments of frail hu
manity. It never fails to awaken that pensive,
dreaming mood of temper, which carries back the
feelings and the recollection to the days of light
hearted youth. Ip ft village ChUfcb y aid, hew i
nuny objects strike the attention, which awaken
reflection, and interest the feelings ? How morti
lying to human pride, is the contemplation of
that defaced and crumbling monument which va
nity has erected to render immortal some petty
greatness ! Yet how dear to the heart are those
evidences of strong and enduring affection ! Here
have the tears of the parent blossomed forth in
the white and delicate rose ; and there have the
sighs of the widowed bosom spoken out in sculp
tered marble ! Here droop the slender fibres of
the willow over the ashes of a brother, the last
stay of orphan sisters : and beneath yon nameless
and unmarked mound, reposes the clay of the
homeless, friendless stranger ! I loitered sometime
in reading the inscriptions, and gave myself up
entirely to the flow of feelings which they induc
ed. My attention was at length arrested by the
following inscription:—
Beneath this Tablet
Repose
All that is mortal
of
Henry Denison,
Who died in Milledcreville, Georgia,
October 31st, 1810, aged 23 years and 4 months,
. Son of the
Hon. Gilbert Denison and Huldah, his wife,
of Brattleborough, Vermont.
Reader! Art thou a parent ? Think upon thine
own offspring and sympathise w T ith them :
Art thou a good son ? Mingle thy tears with
his parents, for he was the best of sons :
A Brother : Mourn, for h'o was the kindest of
brothers:
A friend ? Sorrow r , for he was the firmest of
friends :
Does the muse inspire thee ? Grieve, for he
was of thy kindred :
Art thou all that is manly and upright ? Be
moan his untimely fate,for he was thy companion:
But if thou art a Christian! rejoice,for Henry
“is not dead, but sieepeth.”
It is chisselled on a plain marble slab, and
surrounded by a neat white paling—l read the
touching inscription—the memorial, as I after
wards learnt, of one of those ardent ana endur
ing friendships, which this world’s destiny has
neither power to chill or change—again and again.
It awakened reflections of indiscribable interest,
for we had been old friends, in those days of
unsophisticated feeling—our joyous school-day
hours. We had clambered together over the
crags of our own native mountains—flew like the
wind over lakes of burnished glass, and had sat to
gether in the village school-house of , be
neath your birchen sceptre. You will pardon this
reminiscence, for you also have dropped a tear to
his memory. You, yourself, have wept over the
untimely fall of genius, whose earliest blossoms
you had assisted to unfold ; but whose sweet and
flagrant flowers were scattered on a distant soil.
The following touching lines to his memory arc
from the pen of one whose fate has not been dis
similar :
“ Though thou art lowly laid,
Thou'rt not forgot:
Strangers thy grave have mad*
A sacred spot!
Memory twineth now
The wreath around thy brow,
That fadeth not.
Yes, there are hearts that feel
The holy fire;
Hearts, whose bright flames reveal
Thy funeral pyre !
Still in their inmost core,
Warbles its wild notes o’er,
Thy deathless lyre.
Spring’s fairest flow’rs shall bloom
Around thy Urn—
Genius shall on thy tomb
His incense burn, —
Caught by its heav’aly light,
Fancy shall check her flight,
To pause and mourn.”
Boston, July 15.
From Smyrna —By the brig Samos,
Capt. Parsons, which arrived at Quaran
tine on Sunday, in 70 days fiom Smyrna,
we have obtained ths following particulars,
derived from two American gentlemen,
passengers, direct from Constantinople.
The brig Delos, Smith, was at Con
stantinople April 20th, being he firstAme
rican merchantman, hearing the flag of the
U. Slates that had ever visited that port.
Very great excitement was caused by the
arrival of this vessel in sight of the ‘ erag*
lio She was immediately visited by many
Turks of distinction, some of whom even
carried away pieces of rope as memorials
of the event.
It is stated to have been determined by
the Divan, though not yet revealed to the
people, that in case theßussians reach Con
stantinople, that capital shall immediately
be set on Are, after the example of Mos
cow.
The Sultan continues, according to law,
to visit in state some place of Mohamme
dan worship every Friday He is followed
by his Court, aud thirty led horses, through
double files of soldiers reaching from the
gates of the Seraglio to the Mosque where
his devotions are offered up On these oc
casions, it is common to hear the remark
that he -may not return alive. The heir to
the Ottoman throne is a hoy six or seven
years old, the only acknowledged legitimate
child, though the Sultan has many others.—
An oldei son, who by this time might have
stood in his father’s way, has been missing
several years. The principal favorites of
the Sultan at the present moment, are an
English physician and an Italian riding
master, who enjoy a greater share of his
confidence than he has ever been known
to bestow upon and other individuals.
Business was very dull at Smyrna ; there
was no demand for articles of any descrip
tion and nothing in the market for export.
Captain Parsons was informed by a boat ofi
the Island of Poros, May 7th, that a Rus
sian squadron of 12 sail had arrived at Na
poli di Romania, the day before, the salutt
from which he distinctly heard. Betweei
Malta and the Cape de Gatt, the Camilla,
of Boston, exchanged signals,with the Che
rub, bound up. Passed, May 25th, off Al-
giers, a French squadron of two ships and
two brigs. One of the passengers in the
Samos, (Mr Post,) was supercargo of the
Jane, which sailed from N. Y ork in Sep
tember last with supplies for the. Greeks.
A gentleman w ho rame passenger in th©
Q amos, has commuuicated extracts from his
diary to the Boston Courier, among which
are the following:—
May 7th —Ofi’ Poros, letfrned that a
Rus&iau fleet of 12 sad had just arrived at
Napoli di Romania, the present seat of the
Grecian government, where Capo d’lstrja
was present. Salutes were interchanged
through the day. This fleet, it was sup
posed, would join two Greek brigs that
were already blockading Athens by laud,
while the Grecian camp, under General
Church, was at Agara or Eleusis, about
to invest Athens by land. Capo d’lstria
has established a national bank, organized
a system of taxation, in a great degree ex*
tirpated piracy, ordered statistical tables to
be prepared in every district, town, &c. is
doing wonders.
May 15th—Touched at Malta. Learnt
that five Russian vessels of war had just
left that port to join, as was supposed, the
fleet at Napoli di Romania, to blockade the
ports of the Morea in the Turkish posses
sion, but probably also to co-operate with
the army in the invasion of Turkey.
From the New York Gazette, July 12
Melancholy Catastrophe . —The editors
of the Gazette have had the perusal of a
letter from Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
under date of July 8, containing the follow
ing paiutul intelligence:-* 4 ! regret to inform
you of a most melancholy circumstance
which has thrown the town into gloom.—
Captain Creighton, of the Navy and Na*
thaniel Lyde, Esq. a worthy and highly es
teemed citizen, and the U. S purser on our
station, were riding through town yesterday
about 4 o’clock in a gig ; the horses took
fright and ran Mr. Lyde, thinking they
would do injury, seized the reins, and took
the power entirely from Captain Creighton.
Th is directed them against a pump oppo
se! Mr George Long’s, and the wheel wag
forced over a large trough, which upset the
gig. and threw both mi the stone pavement
with great force. Captain C. had a deep
gash cut in his head, hut is doing well, and
entirely out of danger; but Mr. Lyde had
his scull fractured, and the hones forced
entirely into the brain. He was taken up
insensible, and expired at five this morning,
in great agony. The operation of trepan
ning was resorted to, but the fraciure was
ioo deep. I was w s th him all night, but at
no time after the accident was lie in a state
•*f sanity.’ tw e had the pleasure of know
ing Mr. Lydj, and the high estimation in
which he was held as an oflicer and citizen;
ind we do not wonder that a general gloom
in that town has succeeded his demise.]

Extract of a letter received in this city via JVeto
Vo* ft, dated
LIVERPOOL, 16th June, 1828.
For the last fortnight Cotton has been in limit
ted demand. The trade have a difficulty in mak
ing satisfactory sales of goods and yarns, and con
sequently buy sparingly—The last week’s sales
do not exceed 10,000 bags. At a public sale, the
13th inst. the lower and middlo qualities of Sea
Islands went ofi*at a depreciation of 1 -2d per lb.
while the fine qualities commanded fair prices—
Uplands, &c. remain the same, but in consequence
of the import last week being rather heayy (29,-
300 bags) they are offered rather more freely.
