Id THE ARV§. fWM &ECTB* WEDNESDAY MOR.XLXG, AUGUST 6. “ We were tenfold more insulted, more disgrac ed and contemned, by the majority of Congress, than our forefathers were by the ministers of Great Britain, at the breaking out of the Revolu tionary war .’ —M'DuJfles speech. “ The memorable scones of our revolution have again to be acted over.” —Milledgeville Journal. The most wilfully blind can no longer shut their eyes to the ominous signs of the times. Men, who have heretofore, to a great extent, enjoyed the confidence of the people ; who have been con spicuous for their talents, and eminent for their professions, at least, of patriotism; who have acted as the leaders -of political parties—have ? within a late period, simultaneously thrown off even the semblance of a regard for the Union ofthe States, and openly, emphatically advised resis tance to our Government, and by bold assertions and artful insinuations, endeavored to excite the passions of the people, and stimulate them to overt acts of treason. ff Mr. M’Duffie in his dinner speech declares, that we at this day, have greater cause of complaint against the Government ofthe Union, than our forefathers had against the Crown of Great Bri tain, at the breaking out of the Revolutiona-y war ; and the Georgia Journal, pouring forth its wishes in the language of prophecy, pronounces that the bloody scenes of that awful period must soon be again acted over ! Has Mr. M’Duffie forgotten the long train of causes which led to the revolutionary war ; the grinding oppressions, the cutting injuries which stung to madness the long-suffering patience of our fathers, and finally arrayed them in hostile at titude against an arbitrary and a tyrannic govern ment ? Has Mr. MDuffie forgotten all this, or does he suppose that the people to whom he ad dresses himself have forgotten it? Has the Do. claration of Independence, like the Farewell Ad dress of Washington, become an obsolete thing ; and is it hung in our public halls and in our pri vate studies, merely to become food for worms, and to moulder away and be forgotten, like the relics of an old song ? If not, how can Mr. M’Duffie expect to impose upon the people with the dogmatical assertion, that we have greater cause of resistance than our forefathers had, at the commencement of the Re volution ? Has the President prohibited the pass ing any state law required by the public good ? Has he called together the State Legislatures, at places unusual and inconvenient, or has he dis solved any legislative body, for opposing his en croachments on the rights of the people; has he obstructed the administration of justice ; has he affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power: has he protected per sons from punishment for murders committed on the inhabitants of States ? have we been de prived of the benefits of a trial by jury ; have our citizens been transported beyond seas to bo tried for pretended offences ; have our seas been plun dered ; our coasts ravaged ; our towns burnt, and the lives of our people destroyed ; has govern ment excited domestic insurrection, and let loose the savages to murder our women and children ? Docs Mr. M’Duffie mean to assert that we are now suffering all this, or that all this sinks into insignificance when compared to the tax on Bri tish Broadcloth ? If he does, if such be his inten tions—whatever his own impressions may he, he will find to his mortification, thal it will be hard to convince the people of either. The intelligent people of this country are not to be humbugged with unsupported averments, or suffer their at tachment to the institutions of Washington, Franklin and Jefferson, to be dissipated by frothy and idle declamation. When the Editors ofthe Journal invite the peo ple to act oxer again the scenes of the Revolution , do they realize the awful calamities which they are calling down upon their country ? If they do not, let them pause and consider what these ca lamities wore. Surely there are some grey headed memorials of the by-gone day who can paint for them the scenes of that dreadful period A period when our coasts were ravaged by a fo reign foe, and our towns were divided in civil strife ; when the hand of neighbor was raised against neighbor, and that of Jhe son against his father ; when brother contended with brother, and the hearth-stone was made slippery with the blood of those who had recently knelt beside it! Who is it that calls on us to act over the scenes of CD the Revolution ? And why is the call made ? Is it for a pound of Cotton or a yard of Broadcloth ? Mr. M‘Duffie’s Whiskey Speeches, multiply on our hands. At a late meeting in Edgefield Dis trict, S. C. “ which was called to consider the crisis relative to the Tariff,” and “ to eat a din i ner,” the “ only passport to which, being a suit of homespun,” Mr. M*Duflie made a speech of “ an ( hour and a halfin which according to his re -1 porter, he pourtrayed the “ odious, unjust, une qual and monopolising spirit of the w hole prohib , iting system, and the degradation and ruin to | which the South w T ould be reduced by submission to the present laic In the course of his speech, ification, his friend, the reporter, says Mr. M‘Duf fle took occasion to “ advert in terms of severe re probation, to the hollow hearted and invidious attempts of the editorial lohipstcrs in our towns, to create divisions among ourselves, and extin guish the indignant spirit of our oppressed and in sulted people, by raising the cry of treason, and audacious!y applying infamous epithets to those who are actuated by feelings of patriotism, how ever those feelings may have hurried them into imprudent measures of resistance /” We do not wonder at all, at Mr. M‘Duffies feel ings of irritation against the press, and its con ductors, in South Carolina ; for with few excep tions, its voice has been strongly and effectually raised against him, and his disorganizing schemes ; | and the cry of Treason, which has been so auda | ciously uttered has appalled the stoutest of his SAVANNAH , SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 9, 1828. adherents. The term, how ;er, of “ whipsters” which he lias applied to the editorial corps, seems to have a most sinister allusion. He may well call them ichipsters, for he has been pretty “ es sentially lashed .” We can place no other construction upon Mr. M’Duffie’s language and conduct of late, than as an indirect avowal that he is seriousiy disposed to get up in the South a spirit of resistance to the Union, and that he would like nothing better than to see South Carolina set up for herself. The following toast, given by him at the Egde field dinner, where “ homespun was the only pass port” to western hog-meat and eastern whiskey, is strongly tinged with the jacobinical sentiments of the day. “By Mr M Duffie— I The Stamp Act of 17G5, and the Tariff Act of 1828—kindred acts of des potism : when our oppressors trace the parallel, lot them remember that we are the descendants of a noble ancestry, and profit by the admonitions of history,” If this is not another call on the pbople of the South “ to take an attitude of resistance to the laws of the Union,” it has no meaning. Mr. Bartlett: I have been much pleased with your remarks upon the measures of certain poli tical leaders and empiricks, and with your general views of the tariff law. I have thought the mea sures of opposition which have been adopted ; the high threats of resistance which have been thrown out, and the terms o£ rep-oach and reprobation which have been lavished upon the friends of the law by these men, are all pre-nature and ill-limed. Let the law be brought to the test of experience, andtnen, if found a pernicious one, it may be re pealed in a pacific and legal manner. Or, if the friends of the bill shall in the meantime gather strength and hardihood to enforce it, at any rate, then will be the time for honest men and freemen to gird on the panoply of the constitution, and no other, and meet them with * Aool, energetic, and I manly resistance—any other armor, even then, • would be powerless, and would recoil upon those who wielded it. The conduct of the political doctors of the party, savors more of the sallies ofunphilo sophical anger and petulancy, than of the dictates of enlightened reason and honest conviction.— . The truth is, all this bluster is not opposition to the tariff; but the tariff is only seized upon as an instrument to accomplish other political pur poses. However honest, and however able, those purposes may be, this is certainly a disengenuous j and unworthy way to effect them. They call the bill an Eastern bill, and thus deceive the people, | and bring the odium of the bill upon those who i should not bear it; in this they are dishonest.— j Some of the Eastern States were entirely opposed j to the bill, and yet they load them with execra i tions and every odious epithet, as its supporters; ; in this, too, they are wickedly, meanly dishonest. : It surely is unmanly, and ali beneath the high, frank, and chivalrous spirit of Carolinians, to re sort, to such means to compass their designs.— i They talk of a dissolution ofthe Union ; but such madness is in the hearts of very few, and God i grant that few may not kindle a flame to consume I themselves. The friends of their country ha..ve ! no reason to bo alarmed at the loud and bluster * ing declamation of these furious partizans. Their rhodomantade will, I trust, die away, and leave no impression but of their folly and temerity.— They make too much display, and assume too much the air of the braggadocio, to accomplish ! any great design. j I hope you, Mr. Editor, standing, as you do, j upon the vantage ground of a free press, and i holding an unshackled pen, the scourge of despo tism and vice, will make frequent and earnest ap ! peals to the great mass of honest citizens, before they are excited by the spurious zeal and specious declamation of these political desperadoes. To honest and enlightened eitieens, I ask you to ad dress yourself—to men who are neither power proud, nor ambition-mad. Upon the heads of I such men as Giles and Cooper, and M’Duflie, you might pour words of truth, which would be words to burn ; but they may as well be left to render account, first at the bar of conscience ; then to their country ; and then to their God, for prosti tuting the influence which talent and office may have given them, to the base and guilty purposes of disturbing their country’s peace, and tarnishing her glory. Let them go and view the ruins of the character and reputation, and intellect of Burr, and learn there a lesson which shall make them tremble, and hear a voice which shall cause both their ears to tingle, and come to them with the weight of an unearthly and startling admonition. CAROLINIAN. An extract of a letter, dated Leghorn, May 7th, published in the Boston Evening Bulletin, says:— “Hostilities in the Levant up to this time have produced littie effect upon our prices of Merchan dises or on our exchange. The American vessels in port, are the Bordeaux, loading for New York, and Syren, undetermined.” SUMMAR Y. Appointment by the President. —John N. Sher burne, to be Navy Agent, at Portsmouth, (N. H.) in place of Enoch G. Parrot, deceased. The Boston Courier, is again under the solo di rection of its original editor and proprietor, Mr Joseph T. Buckingham,—his son having relin quished, as the notice observes, to engage in pur suits more congenial to his health and feelings. Mr. Cooper, the tragedian, is performing in Providence, R. I. Mr. Cooper’s New Work—The Travelling Ba chelor—will be issued by Messrs. Carey, Lea and Carey, about the Ist of August. The London New Monthly Magazine, for last month, says of it—“ In this work, a genuine picture of American life and manners will be given, which it is sup posed, will have the effect of counteracting some of the superficial and erroneous accounts of re cent English travellers.” The friends of the administration, at a meeting held at Utica, on the 24th inst, recommended the lion. Smith Thompson, and Francis Grang er, Lsq. as the most suitable persons to be voted for as Governor and Lieutenant Governor of the state of New York, at the approaching election The friends of Gen. Jackson had previously recom mended the Hon. Martin Van Buren, as their candidate for Governer. A suspicions individual named Pratt, who gave different aocounts of his place of residence, was convicted at Saratoga before a Special Session on the 16th inst. of stealing $ 14 in cash from a trunk. While in custody on the succeeding Sunday night, he had the temerity to pass out ofthe win dow of his room, to that of the adjoining, which he succeeded in entering, though at the immi nent hazard of his life. Here he was repulsed by a person sleeping within ; but knocking him down Pratt descended to a room below, where an effort was made to arrest him by the landlord. Eluding the vigilance of the latter, however, Pratt dash ed through a window, cutting himself severely, and made his escape, nearly naked. He was traced to an adjoining forest, and retaken on Mon day evening. He was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment in the county jail. The monument erecting at Quebec for Wolfe and Montcalm is in progress ; the pedestal has been nearly completed. £ 1300 have been stfb scribed for a Merchant’s Exchange in that city and the excavations are to be immediately com menced. T lie St. Lawrence is much higher this season than usual, in consequence of the extraordinary quantity of rain It is said that the Ottawa has not been as high in thirty years. Most of the crops in lower Canada will suffer severely. The Hon. H. Clay arrived at Meysville, in Ken tucky, on the 14th ult. and was expected to be in Lexington, on the 16th. His health is said to have considerably improved. A man named Charles Williams was committed in New York on the 25th ult.for presenting a forg ed check, purporting to be signed by commodore Chauncey. The Rev. Mr. Irving is giving great offence, it appears, to part of the population of Edinburg, by some extraordinary lectures on prophecy. His admirers, however, pronounce him inspired. He announced lately to one of the crowded congrega tions which his ministry at Edinburg had attrac ted, that the planets were not yet inhabited, but tha t , after the dissolution of this, our globe, they would be possessed ofthe souls of just men made perfect. By the China, at Salem, from Callao, an ac count is received of a great Earthquake in Peru on the 30th of March, vvltich did much damage. On the authority of the Boston Courier, it is stated, that when the intelligence of the passag of the Tariff reached some of the West India Isl ands, an immediate advance on the price of Lum ber, depression equal to the extra duty oi Molasses, was the consequence.—[So much for the Tariff, the evils of which fall on the British and not on us.j The Weather. —On Saturday afternoon, says the Baltimore Patriot of the 28th ult. tlie mercury stood, in some places in this city, at 96 deg. in doors, and yesterday it could not have been much lower. The New York papers speak of hot weath er when the mercury rises to 88 or 89 in doors, at which it ranged in that city on Friday. It is not uncommon for the mercury to rise to 93 in Ne\ York —it was that high last summer. But ninety ■ ty-siz degrees , in doors , not “in the sha.de,” as they say in Philadelphia, which exposes the ther mometer to the effects of refraction from light or red substances and absorption by green and other dark colors, but in the house , ninety-six degrees, we say, is a height of temperature for which we can find no parallel. In Philadelphia, on Satur day, at twelve o’clock, the mercury stood at 88 in doors—in our office at the same time, it stood at 94. It is more moderate to-day. At one P. M. the mercury stood at 89. Accident. —At Dover, N. H. on Saturday after noon, a boy of the name of Hill being employed in putting in order some ofthe machinery at the up per factory, was caught between the band and the shaft of the Picker, and carried round with great rapidity some seconds before the machine ry could be stopped. One arm was broken in three places, and one leg considerably wounded. It is surprising that he escaped instant death. It is stated in the Dublin Evening Post, on the authority of a gentlemann just arrived from the United States, that the United States Govern ment has the largest vessel on the stocks ever heard of—she is to carry not less than one hundred and eighty guns, most of them ninety pounders, and would be able to cope with several frigates at a time. Captain Kennedy, arrived at New York, left at St. Petersburg, May 25th a Russian squadron of 14 vessels, mostly ships of the line, fitting for sea with all expedition, and was nearly ready to sail. Yale College. —The examination of the Senior Class in this Institution closed on Wednesday last. w r hen about eighty young gentlemen were announced as candidates for the degree of Bach elor of Arts. A farewell address was delivered in the Chapel on the same day, by Mr. W. W. I Hoppin, and also a poem by Mr J. T. Case, both ‘ of which were listened to with attention and are ; highly spoken of. The New York City Inspector reports the death • of 101 persons during the week ending on Satur- . day r , the 10th ult. viz : 22 men, 20 women, 30 boys, and 20 girls. Os w hom 42 were of or under the age of 1 year. — Diea.BCß, Consumption, 15, <Sl*,c. , A case of crim. con was tried lately in London, ‘ in wßich the offender was a clergyman. His con duct was marked by the most abominable hypocri sy, having administered the sacrament to tne hus band the morning before he eloped with the wife. A tobacco box is now in the possession of Mr. Van Zandt, made in the year 1751, and w’hich has never since that time been altered or repaired.— i It has been in use 25,315 days, been used in open- , ing and shutting 1,002,G00 times, and the tobacco used out of it during that time cost upwards of $346. So much for tobacco chewers. Boston Harbor. —The extensive works autho rised by Congress to be erected at Deer Island, near the entrance of Boston Harbor, are shortly to be commenced under the superintendance of Col. Totten, of the Engineer department, whose arrival is mentioned in the papers. “Brevity is the soul of wit.” The name of Burkhampstead Post Office in Connecticut has been changed to Ilitchcocksville. A paper in Pro vidence says that this change was done with an especial eye to “ shortness .” The following changes, w r e learn, have been ordered by the Navy Department: Captain John D. Henley, commanding at Balti more, to take command of the Navy Yard at Ports mouth, N. 11. vice Captain Creighton, appointed to the command of the Hudson frigate. Master Comdt. Robert M. Rose, late Lieut, of the Gosport Navy Yard, to be second in command at that place ; vice Master Comdt. E. P. Kenne dy, promoted. Lieut. Smoot takes the place oi Capt. Rose. Purser Charles O. Handy is ordered to the Portsmouth station, to supply the vacancy there occasioned by the death of Purser Lyde. We have from time to time, published extracts from North Carolina papers, stating the amount of gold found in particular sections of that state— we now add another piece of information: “The Wilmington, (N. C.) Recorder, of the 9th inst. says—‘Our town is suffering from the scarci ty of corn, incal and bacon.” Extreme Heat. —The Thermometer ranged as high as 95 degrees of Farenheit, at Baltimore, on the 24th inst. in an open elevated room, from 1 to 6 o’clock, P. M.—A young man, belonging to the schr. Adams, of Portsmouth, N. 11. died sudden ly in the course of the afternoon, supposed from drinking cold water. Governor Butler, ofVermont, having declined being a candidate for re-election, the honorable Samuel C. Crafts. (Member in Congress from Vermont, from 1817 to 1825) has been nominated by a convention of the freemen. A subscription has been set on foot in Boston, to purchase the portrait of Washington, by the late Gilbert Stuart, which it is believed that distinguished artist refused to part with during his life time. It is said to be the most finished head of that illustrious man ever painted. Thomas 11. Smith, the great Tea dealer in New-York. has failed for upwards of two million of dollars ; the heaviest failure that ever occurred in this country. It is supposed that he also owes the Government for duties on Teas, one million of dollars. It is stated in the New-York papers, that on Saturday, the 19th ult. Mr. Patch leaped from the highest point at Patterson fills into the chasm be low, a distance of 90 feet ; for which he received $ 15. On the 4th he earned sl3 by thus risking hi3 neck. Haifa dozen villains who recently escaped from the Kentucky Penitentiary, have been pursued across the trackless wilds of Michigan, into Up per Canada, and captured. There was some fighting, and a rescue of one or two of the fellows but they were re-rescued, and we presume by this time they are safely in “ old Kentuck” again. Well leathered. —A gentleman in New-Ycrk, complained the other day, at the Police, of a re fractory apprentice, whom he was accustomed to flog hy the hour, when having exhausted his strength he found that the rogue had three leather aprons wrapped around his Jack under his cloak. Blacklegs. —Mrs. Jane Shaw, of Boston, wao recently delivered of a fine boy and girl at a birth, what renders the circumstance remarkable is, that the right leg of each, is of a hue very nearly ap proaching to black. Strong Beef —James Bier, a laborer in Oxford County, Me. lately lifted a young heifer belong ingto Mr. Sherman, over a five rail fence, on a wager— Small Beer. —Thomas Behr, of Shutek bury, aged 23 measures but 37 inches in height He is a proficient in oriental literature. Corn-sumptive Croics. —The cornfield of Mr. Ives, in Berkshire County, Ms. was attacked by an army of crows, which in a few minutes de stroyed 2400 hills of corn. Tariff.— An Irish drayman asked his compan ion, a few days since, after they had lounged idly the whole morning, at the corner of a street up town, “ and Pat, dear, can you tell us why thero :s so little doing in our line, this month back ?” “ Och, bother, and don’t you know, child,” an swered the other, “"Why, the marchants, God oless ’em, are all tarrifed, and can't employ ua for fear af ruination.” The Crops. —We learn with pleasure, from all parts of the country, that the provision crops are likely to be very plentiful—that the cotton plan rations indicate abundant gathering ; and that the sugar cane will this year, be a source of great profit to all who are engaged in the produce of that wticle. While the cotton planters of the states are quarrelling about the Tariff, th<3 3ugar planter of Florida will surely be able to report progress. So much for the Tariff. — St. Augustine Herald , IG th ult. Defaulter. —As various reports are in circula tion respecting some recent disclosures of a fraud in the Hartford Bank, we have obtained from an officer in the Bank, the following particulars.— Mr. D. Hinsdale, book keeper, has been in the Hartford Bank, as we are informed, 29 years ; during the last 13 years he has defrauded the bank to the amount of $ 31,020 23, overdrawing his account for moderate sums, from time to time and balancing it at the end of every six months falsifying his entries ; and by making false foot ings in his trial balance, of the same amount, the fraud was not discovered. Property valued at $ 9,053 67 has been conveyed to the bank by Mr. Hinsdale—making the loss of the bank, $22,366 56.— Connecticut Observer. Extract of a letter from Manchester, Eng. dated 12 th June, from a highly respectable house. “We have heard, with great regret, of the dis astrous result of the spring shipments. Ail who did any thing, appear to have suffered alike, just in proportion to the extent of their operations— neither skill nor judgment availing any thing.—- The house of Hutchinson & Cos. who shipped so largely, and who did so much injury to the others, by their forced sales in America, have just stop ped payment. They bought chiefly for their own acceptances, and several of the printers are in from 3 to £5,000, and one house they say about 8,000. “Business is extremely dull here, and the Ame ricans are doing little or nothing. All appear disheartened and afraid to touch any thing.” We learn that on Monday last, there was a gen eral turn out for higher wages, among the weav ers, spinners, &c. at Patterson. They became very tumultuous ; and the local authorities, that place not being an incorporated village, were at a los3 what measures to pursue. It w T as proposed to ask the assistance of the militia of Newark, and the neighboring towns. On Thursday the people had not yet returned to their work ; and the proprie tors of the several factories had come to a fixed resolution not to employ the ringleaders again, though they are among the best workmen. The result of such a determination, to, will be, that a nnmher of idle families will wander to the Hudson, and disembogue into, the City of New York, to swell the number of paupers here. JVew York Com Adcer. South Carolina Independent. —Avery neat touch at the recent proceedings in that State was given by one of the subordinate officers on Fort Wolcot, in Newport harbor. The commandant directed him to cause a national salute to be fired on the 4th of July. The officer hesitated, and very re spectfully inquired how many guns should be dis charged ? His commander, with something of a sneer, “a national salute, sir ; are you ignorant of the number of guns that constitute a national sa lute ?” The answer to this severe rebuke of his apparant ignorance, was, that twenty-four guns used to be the number of a national salute, but ha was in some doubt whether South Carolina was at present a member of the Confederation ! The 24 guns, however, were fired, and we trust that a less compliment will never form the national salute of this republic.— Rhode Island American. Acw Orleans . — Ihe following note was endorsed on ihe New Orleans Post Bill, ot July 4, tor the office of tins c ity, receiv ed yesterday. The newspapers of the third were silent on the subject. “The Postmaster and every one of his assistants ate sick with a raging fever, called Spanish Fever Half of the citi zens in town are laid up with the same sickness, it is considered the greatest epi demic ever experienced in Louisiana*’ 1 [No. 11.—Vol. I.
