SATURDAY MOUSING, KO V. 29, 1828.
Vv c learr. from our correspoildent at Miliedge
ville, that the Bill to compel Justices of the Peace
to give bond and security was still before the Se
nate.
It was ably discussed on the 19th. Messrs
Crawford of Columbia, Wilson of Pike, Gamble of
Jefferson, and Owens of Chatham, spoke in favor
of the bill; it was opposed by Mr. Powell of M In
tosh, Mr. Branham of Putnam, (who remarked,
that when the bill was first read, he was in favor
of it, but, on mature reflection, he was not sure
that, the object of the bill would be accomplished ;
he was sure that it could not under the present
shape.)
The bill was finally re-committed to a select
committee. #
In regard to this bill, whatever may be its fate,
we take this occasion to observe, that it cannot, in
our opinion, correct the evil complained of.
The evil results, not from the scarcity of re
sponsible men in any section of the state—of these
there are abundance—but from the reluctance
with which these responsible men, in many dis.
tricts, engsge in the duties of an office which
yield neither honor nor profit. In some districts,
where the collecting business is considerable, and
where the fees are consequently an object, there
are no lack of candidates for the office. But in
other sections, where the duties of the office are
vexatious, without being profitable, it is no easy
matter to find a responsible man to undertake
them. In such districts, tfie only candidate who
offers, however worthless and irresponsible lie
maybe, is elected ; not because he has a majority
of the suffrages of the district, but because he has
no opponent. Many justices have been declared
duly elected, on receiving a dozen votes, in a dis
trict comprising several hundred voters.
It appears to us, therefore, that any law impos
ing additional burthens on this officer, without
adding to the profit or importance of the station,
would only have the tendency to drive from it the
few who are really responsible, and place it more
completely in the hands of the worthless.
There are evils in the system which neod re
form ; but the bill does not reach them. Extend
the jurisdiction of the Justices’ courts—throw
more business into them—that is, into any one of
, them—by uniting two or more districts into one—
increase the fees—and the office would be worth
attending to—and it would be attended to by re
spectable men.
The bill to abolish Penitentiary confinement
was discussed in the House on the 19th. We
shall give the leading features of the debate on
both these subjects as soon as we can find room.
* Since it has been reduced to a certainty that
General Jackson is to be the President of the Uni
ted States for the next four years, speculation has
been busy as to the individuals who will com
pose his cabinet. And it does appear to us, con
sidering the jarring materials out of which his
party has been formed, the conflicting interests of
his friends,*and the opposing principles of those
who have supported him, that he will meet with no
little difficulty in getting up an administration?
that will satisfy all his partizans, and at the same
time give confidence to the public.
The South will insist on an unconditional re
peal of the Tariff, an entire abandonment of the
American System. The Middle and the Western
states have yielded him their support because they
have believed him friendly to the protection of do
mestic industry, and internal improvement, and
will not be satisfied unless he call to his councils
the advocates of these measures.
It is evident he cannot gratify all parties; and
he will no doubt, at the outset of his career, find
himself surrounded with difficulties of no ordinary
character.
It seems likely that the next Presidential elec
tioneering campaign will open before the present
may be said to have fairly closed. The New York
papers bring two new competitors into the field—
Martin Van Buren and Smith Thomposon. Mr.
Calhoun, it is understond, will be a candidate from
the South, and Mr. Clay from the West. It seems
to be taken for granted on all sides, that General
Jackson will not be a candidate for re-election.
The Second Anniversary of the Georgia Bible

Land Sales. —The sales of the fractions ordered
at the last Session, are now held at Milledgoville
It is stated, in the Georgia Journal, that the sale
of fractions, in Lee County, which closed on the
20th, had amounted to the sum of $52,974 10.—
Lee county is rising in reputation.
Mr. Archibald C. MTntyre, formerly of this
place, has issued pfoposals for the publication of a
newspaper at Darien, to be entitled the Dak!£N
Phoenix.
The Editor of the Augusta Chronicle and Ad
vertiser offers his establishment for sale, on ac
commodating terms. The Chronicle is one of the
oldest establishments in the State, and has a very
extensive circulation. Its advertising patronage
is also very liberal, and to a person wishing to
embark iq the business, the'offer presents a favora
ble opportunity.
Elections. —The Jackson ticket has prevailed i
Kentucky by about 4000 ; in Ohio by 3893 j in
Indiana by a small majority.

American Minister in England. —A late number
of the Sheffield Iris, a*paper formerly if not now j
under the management of the poet Montgomery', ;
contains the following paragraph :
“The Hon. James Barbour, late Secretary of <
War, and formerly Governor of Virginia, and nOvv j
Envoy from the United States to the Court of St. j
James, accompanied by his lady and family visited j
this town on Thursday. It may be added, as not I
uninteresting to some of our readers of this paper, I
that the Honorable Gentleman was the bearer of;
letters from our late townsman, Mr. Gales, to his
relatives in this town. It is now nbout 40 years ’
since Mr. Gales left this town for America. He :

Boundary Question. — The Arcadian (Halifax',) j
Recorder, of Nov. 8, gives the following extract *
of a letter, received from a gentleman at Dorchcs-
ter. N. S.:—“ A gonlleman, just arrived here from ’
Fredericton, states, that, before he left there, it ,
was reported, on the authority of a letter from s

Mr. Henry Crompton. —This gentleman former
ly editor of the Montreal Examiner, tried last
Saturday afternoon, for damning the King ! !—the
trial was one continual farce. The defendant con
ducted his own defence, and greatly added there
by to the abundant mirth of the spectators. The
trial occupied most of the day, and ihe jury, who
retired on that evening, had not rendered their
verdict on Monday.
October 30.— Mr. Crompton's Jury. —The un
fortunate jurors remained confined in the jury
room, in this case, from Saturday afternoon until
Tuesday, at 1 P. M. where they stood 10 to 2.
Messrs. Price and Sanderson being for a verdict
of guilty, in opposition to the others. The Judge

Richmond, Nov. 20.
General ’ Court.— Yesterday, judgment was
awarded by the court in the case of the common
wealth against the administrator of Jerman Ba
ker, deceased, the late Treasurer of this common
wealth, for the sum of twenty-five thousand and
a few hundred dollars.
The case of the commonwealth against Jer
man Baker’s securities is expected to come on to
day. # >
The pending information against the clerk of
the court was also tried. Evidence was called in
to support the information, and the jury, without
retiring, found a verdict against him, and amerced
him one cent. The court instanter pronounced
a judgment of a motion from office, and appointed
Conway Robinson of this city, (who has for some
time acted as Deputy Clerk) Clerk of the Gene
ral Court in his stead.
- Hemp. —Many of the farmers in New York and
Vermont, are about to engage in the culture of
hemp, and it is believed that some of the farmers
in this part of the Connecticut valley would do
well to turn their attention to this crop. The cau
ses which have hitherto operated to retard its in
troduction, are the labor and expense of dressing,
rather than the difficulty of raising. A machine
has been lately invented by which these articles
are prepared for market at a trifling expense of
time and labor, compared with that of the old
modes of rotting and dressing. The breaking is
performed before the rotting. T.hree hundred
lbs. of unrotted hemp or flax are broken per hour:
it is then immersed in water from three to five
days, dried in the sun a few hours and again run
through the machine when it is soft and fit for
use.
Several of these machines are in operation iir
New York, Ohio, and other states, and we un
derstand that arrangements are making to erect
one in this vicinity, as soon as the farmers shall
turn their attention to the growing of hemp suf
ficient to furnish a supply fora machine. The
late tariff law affords adequate protection to hemp,
and those who engage in its cultivation may ex
pect fair (not high) prices.— Hampshire. Gazette.
Timber Trade.—' The cargoes of three
New-Bruoswick timber ships have recently,
says a New-Brunswick paper, experienced
in Liverpool a rice of one penny per foot.
This has given considerable activity t 6
trade among our north-eastern neighbours.
There was a time, es we are informed,
when the most profitable trade of Maine, —
that trade which gave the most powerful
impulse to her growth, which is now pro
ceeding with more steady and sure, if not
so speedy h progress,—was the timber trade
between Maine and Liverpool. But Eng
land, true to her maxim of taking care of
herself and her own colonies imposed a
r duty oil timber, which destroyed the busi
ness • The New-Brunswickers are now,
as for some years they have been, enjoying
the benvfits, of which their neighbours are
deprived. Our friends in Maine can tell,
us how many ships loads of timber they now j
send toLiverpool in a year— BostonPatriot,
——
La Plata The condition of the province :
of La Plata at this present moment, com
pared with that of their sister republics in
South America, is advantageous indeed,
particularly when we recall their relative j
prospects as they appeared a short time ago. *
After the Spanish power had been finally ■
crushed in Peru and Chili* and the west
as well as the north had submitted to the
pairiots, it was hoped that the three states
would pursue a firm united and rapid
march for the acquisition of political and;
intellectual improvement and power.— i
Without recapitulating the events which
have since transpired,’ but which are at
once interesting and monitory to those
states and all other republics it is only ne
cessary to glance at the state of discord and
opposition which unhappily prevails be
tween Colombia, Peru and Bolivia. Those
extensive and fertile regions, which but
lately seemed ready to set their enemies at
defiance, and which would probably have
presented a powerful front if an invasion
had been attempted before internal dissen
sions had time to spring up, are now threat
ening to employ their forces against each
other; while La Plata, after a long and
powerful struggle against a foreign ene
my, is seen emerging from her trials
with untarnished honor, confirmed credit,
and prepared to enter the career of com
mercial enterprise and internal improve
ment, with every probability of success.
Mexico.—The Mercantile Advertiser
states on the authority of letters received
in this ciiy from Vera Cruz, under date of
Sept. 29th, that Pedrasa has been elected
President of the Republic, and that the
government had succeeded in obtaining a
loan of $500,000 as soon as the result of
the election was known. Gen. Rincon is
Governor of Vera Cruz. St. Anna remains
in possession of Pcrote, but an ample
force was on the march to subdue him.
According to these advices, every thing
was favourable for the speedy restoration
of tranquility.—N. Y. Daily Advertiser.
