THE ARCIJS.
SAVANNAH.
FRIDAY, JAM VAR V 23. 1829.
V\ e do not expect to find the opinion of Jevc r y
individual conforming in points witii our own;
nor do wt think the less of an individual, for hon
estly differing with us in sentiment. We claim
the privilege of free enquiry ourselves, and we
readi.y grant it toothers. Let, notwithstanding
cM this, we like to see the actions of individuals
consistent with their own declared opinions; and
a proper conformity kept up, tho one with the
other, w hatever may be the consequence in re
gard lo their own individual fortunes. It is with
regret, therefore.’ that we have seen, in the con
duct of distinguished individuals of this state,
striking examples of a contrary course. Gover
nor i orsyth, in his annual message, if wc were J
able to understand if , freeiy admits the constitu
tionality of the .Tariff; and, however he may doubt
the expediency of the law imposing, at this time,
duties on imports for the protection of manufac”
tures, yet he urges to the Legislature the necessi
ty of submitting to its operations until constitu-
repealed. A majority cf the Legislature,
however, thought otherwise; a protest passed
butli housos, declaring the Tariff law ‘ unconsti
tutional in its w ell known objects. ’ Finding it not
agreeable to op: ese the current of popular feel
ing, to place himself in a minority, and to forfeit ,
the support of the dominant party, Governor For*
sytli soon found it convenient to chime in with
the opinions of the majority, sanctioned the pro
test, which had passed in opposition to his own
sentiments, affixes his signature to it, and des
patches it to Washington!
Again, Mr. Gilmer has been, for several years
past, tho stout champion of state rights; he has
clamored about the sovereignty of the states, and
the encroachments of Congress. lie has denied
the power of Congress to prosecute works of in
ternal improvement; such as making roads, clean;
mg out rivers, Arc.—theso wore encroach merits
on the rights of the states. But no sooner does
a case occur iu which his own personal interests
are concerned, than lie abandons his farmer grow nd
he forgets tho sovereignty of the states , and
stickles fi r the omnipotence of Congress! Ho
contends that a law’ of the state, prescribing the
mode of electing members to Congress, may be
| set aside, and rendered nugatory, by a vote of that
body! Such is the disinterested purity oi a politi
f i.iu! While a candidate fi>r election in Georgia,
. he excited the passions *f the people by prating
about the lights of the states. But, elected to
Congress, ho identifies himself with tho general
rrovcmmerit, and declares that h~ bx.k upon tiro
I laws of Gaorg’i as mere formalities, without any
i *
■. couipuitiory obligation!
\\ hat stupid blockheads [says a communicant
• of the Richmond Compiler,] we men are in our
works of charity, when compared with the warm
; hour ted ladies of our city. They set about such
j matters with a zeal worthy of all praise, and ac
complish with a success comme isurate almost
with their w ishes. The novel plan, among us, at
least, which they have adopted to hold a Fair,
that ihev may the more readily dispose of the
! work of their hands, appears to take in the public
f mind with pleasure, and it cannot be doubted, that
1 a crowd of visiters, and ready sales, will testify
|t’ oir approbation ou each day. V* hen we get
j w ithin the walls, wc shall lie fairly caught, and
held in chains of pleasure and admiration; and
! who is there so ungallant as to be able to resist
} the appeal which the scene, and these kind plea'd
j era for charity, will make to us? Verily I believe
no one will return without being willing to ascribe
‘ IVodosse delectare” to the scene.
Mr. Kingsley, a sifgar planter in Florida, after
remarking upon tho superior quality of his crop,
says, “l find I can do nothing without a steam en
gine: my cx power will grind only one acre per
| day, amounting to hbds., besides molasses, up
j on which article I tmst tho new tarifil duty will
continue firm.” So do we.
But, from the peculiar phraseol >gy of this gen
tleman’s expression, we arc induced to the belief
that lie only advocates the Tariti so far as it tends
to fostt t his own sugar plantation! — and that ho
denounces, or is ready to denounce, with all the
fashionable vituperation of a modern patriot, eve
•ry other duty which is imposed upon articles he
has to buy. This is a selfish principle—there’s no
recipiocity in it—and if given way to, it will even
tually paralyze the arms of Industry and Lntei
prize.
If we do Mr. K. wrong, he will please correct
us. Ilia language is so much in harmony with
the absurd doctrines of many of the Anti-Tanff
ites. that we could not refrain from noticing it.
Those high toned gentry have not charity enough
even to subscribe to the old saying, “If you’ll tic
kle mo, 111 tickle you.” They want to have all
the tickling to themselves.
Theatrical. —Wednesday night, Much ado about
Nothing, and The Prize.
Much ado about Nothing, is one of SUakspeai’s
best comedies. The characters of Benedick and
i Beatrice, are admirably imagined, and serve as a
! beautiful foil to those of Claudio and Hero. When
| ever there is a failure in the personation of the
1 two latter—whenever their unity is broken—the
piquancy of the former, however well played, is
almost entirely lost. Like an highly finished
croupe of painting, one shade the more or less de
’ siroys the effect of the whole. We are anticipa
j ted, we presume, when we say, that Claudio and
1 Hero nlaced Benedick and Beatrice in that di-
J lemma. Fielding sunk the aspiring and enam
: oured Claudio, into the mdiftcrcnt and phlegmat
ic Jover; and Miss Coster returned him tit for tat
with interest. This indifference to their parts,
or it may be, incompetency to sustain them, com
pletely isolated Benedick and Beatrice, and made
the Comedy a ‘‘thing of shreds and patches.
The audience, howover, is sometimes auswera c
f or tke good or bad playing of the boards and,
cn this occasion, we think, much of the dullness
SAVANNAH, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 29. 1829.
o/ the pefbrmance was attributable to t r .cnv Nisi,
who has become a great crony of ours, wrapped
his roquelairo closely about him, and cried out,
“Cold!—Cold!—Only look,” said he, “at the first
and second Circles! Don’t they put you in mind
of that city of Stone, of which such honorable
mention is made in the Arabian Nights?” The
idea struck us forcibly—we could not stand it—
we thought we were undergoing a rapid process
of petrefaction—and had it not been for the melt
ing tones of Miss Kelly’s voice, we might at
• this time, probably, have added another bronze to
the cabinet of old Caddy!
Miss Kelly was in good voice—and if there had
been music, she would have electrified the audi
ence. They might then, in ded, have exclaimed
•; with Byron’s Manfred—
“Oh, that T were
The viewless spirit of a lovely sound,
Ajfiving voice, a breathing harmony,
A bodiless enjoyment—born and dying
With the blest tone which made me!”
Concord and discord are called artificial harmo
ny—but our twanging Orchestra made it “con
fusion worse confounded.” If they cannot do j
better, we wish they would let Miss K. alone, with
their “twecdle dum and tweedle de”—ln the Mer
maid’s song, the other evening, in the affettuosi
parts, they completely marred the “boautiful cre
ations” of her voice.

Duties on Tea —A large and respectable
meeting of merchants .and traders of Phila
delphia, convened at Clement’s Hotel, on
; Ihe 9d] itstant, and adopted the following
memorial to congress, on the subject of the
contemplated reduction of duties on teas.—
Mr. Samuel Iran!, presided at the meeting,
and Mr. Henry White, acted as secretary.
“THE MEMORIAL
Os the subset bers, merchants and traders,
residing in the city of Philadelphia, res*
pne* fully shelve lb,
That they have been informed that a
me norial has been prose Jtad to your hono
rable body, req lOsting that an act may be
passed, for- the reduction of the duty on
te-is, to fake effect forthwith.
Your memorialists trust, that your hono
rable body will not adopt a course so novel,
without duly considering the effect that
would be produced on a class of citizens,
useful to tho community, .and who all pos
sess some portion of this article, acquirod
under the present duty, in full faith that
nothing would bo done by the government
to reduce the value of it in their hands,
without timely notice. It is the belief of
yonr memorialists, that any reduction made
in the duty on teas, would have the effect of
reducing the value of whatever of that ar
ticle is in their possession; exactly in pro
portion to the reduction made The in
justice of such a course is so manifest, that
it is not thought nccessaiy to enlarge upon
it; hut they are contented to leave the
matter to the discretion of your honorable
body, to whom they look with full confi
dence of being protected in ail their just
rights
Your memorialists are aware, that great
disadvantage and loss has been produced to
the importers of teas, as well as themselves,
fr >ai the fact of a reduction of a duty hav
ing been proposed at several late sessions
of congress, and being suffered to remain un
decided, until the present time, and would
gladly see some order taken upon this sub
ject, tb it they might be relieved from the
uncertainty annually produced by the agit
ation of it ; and they are of opinion, that
the present is as favorable a peiiod as is
likely to occur. Your memorialists are of
opinion that the duty on gunpowder and
1 imperial teas should be reduced to thirty -
five cts. —hyson and young hyson, to twen
ty-five cts. —hjson skins, eighteen cents, —
souchongs, fourteen cents.
I Should it be deemed advisable bv Con
gress to pass a law to reduce the duty on
Teas, to take effect immediately, your
memorialists believe that it would be an
! act of justice towards them for the Gov
’ eminent to return to the holders of all ori
-1 ginal and unbroken packages, to tho a.
mount of such reduction; but as this course
would be attended with embarrassments,
’ and would perhaps open a door for frauds
‘ it is believed that the most expedient course
would bo to pass a law for the reduction
of duties, to take effect at some future time,
as it is usual in such cases—and your Mem.
1 orialists believe that the most expedient
time would be, from the Ist ot Jan. 1831 —
thus giving to all timely notice to prepare
1 their business for the change, and finally
settling a question, the uncertainty of which
1 has been for several ~ years fraught with
; mischief to all concerned in this article.
| And your memorialists as in duty bouud
! will ever pray.”
! From the annual report of the Director
1 Q f ihe Mint of the United Stales, we gather
the following facts
The whole amount of coinage from 1794
to ISOO, inclusive, making a period of seven
years, was, in round numbers, $2,534,000;
the average annua! amount was $3G2,000 ;
and the greatest production in one year was
$646,000, being the coinage of 1799.
The coinage in 10 years, from 1891 to
1810, amounted to $6,971,000; the annual
average was $697,000, and the greatest a>
mount in one year, $1,156,000, being the
coinage of 1810.
Tire coinage, in ten years from 1811
to 1820, was $9,328,000. Rejecting two
years, which may be considered as lost
through die effect* of the war, and counting
; the period as eight years instead oi ten, the
! average annual amount will bo $1,166,000;
the greatest amount in oue year was sl,.
{ 864,000, being the coinage of 1820.
The amount coinage in the last 7 years,
from 1821 to 1827 was $11,632,000; the;
average annual amount $1,662,000; ‘and
the greatest amount in one year, $3,924,- i
000, being the coinage of 1827.
Os the amount last mentioned, more than ‘
two thirds was received through the United !
States Bank, the source from which the
largest part of the deposited is constantly
, derived, and to the agency of which may be

emissions from the Mint have been tncreas j

Under our ship news head yesterday, it
! was stated that the sloop William , Mitchell,
from this port for St. Augustine, was ashore ;
on Anastasia Island ; since then, we re. ,
ceivcd the following letter from our atten J
tive correspondent of the St. Augustine j

crossing the Bar on Saturday morning, went
ashore on Anastasia Island, and is bilged.— j
The cargo taken out, and now remains on j

THE ERIE AND HER PRIZE.
A friend has furnished us with the follow
ing extract of a letter, dated
44 V, S, Ship Erie, St. Martins, )
December 5, 1828 \
4i As our prize sails in a couple of hours,
I have only time to let you know wo are
all well, and also of our having captured a
Buenos Ayrean privateer. She had been
robbing an American vessel, and although
the fact was acknowledged, and justified
upon the ground that her instructions au
thorised it, the Svvtdeish Governor at St.
Barts refused to deliver her up—so we fu-v
ted out our boats last night, and cut her out
from under the guns of the fort, which fired
several shot at us, but without injuring us
in the least. The privateer offered no re
sistance, and we weighed her anchor and
* stood out. Lieut. Tatuall, Acting Sailing
Master Craven, Lieut. M Cauley, of the
Marine Corps, and Midshipmen Horns and
Williamson were in the launch; Lieut. BeJI,
and Midshipmen Selden and Southard iu
the first cutter.
4 ‘l don’t know what you will think of the
affair at home; but if 3ou will conside r
that tho Captain of the privateer acknowl
edged without any hesitation that he had
robbed the Amurican vessel, and that he
did not care for the Erie, or any other
man of war, I think it will be admitted that
we are on the right side of the quo stion.
41 We shall sail for St. Croix to morrow,
or the next day, and 1 suppose we shall be
in Pensacola by the middle of January.' ’

DESPERATE ENCOUNTER.
We recently copied from a Western pa
per, an account of a fierce and deadly com
bat between a Mr. Gibson and a M. Dur
den, of Mississippi, with sword canes, in
which the former gentleman dropped down
dead, being pierced with five stabs, viz:
“three in the abilomen, one in the breast,
and one under the chin, passing through his
mouth into his head.”—We have some
thing to match, indeed surpass, the combat
between the heroes of Mississippi, in a
most butcherly conflict between two runa
way negroes , which took place on Saturday
night last, in Hertford county, N. C (near
ly in our own vicinity,) the particulars of
which have been communicated to us by a
gentleman of undoubted veracity, residing
in the town of Winton, in that county,
Tom , who was a very likely fellow', a
bright mullatto, said to belong to a Mr.
Womble, of Southampton county, fVa.)
and Nat', who formerly belonged to a Mr.
lenkins of Hertford, but who was sold by
him to a Georgia-man, had been 4 or 5
years, ranging the forests of Hertford as
runaways. They had lived together like
brothers during all that time, and had ren
dered themselves so terrible by their dar
ing viHar.ies, that numerous attempts we r
made them, which they had sun
cessfully eluded, and it seemed as if they
had •Gained a warrant from old Nurfc
j commit every sort of depredation with im
punity.
On the night above mentioned, they
! were at a fodder stack near the house of a
; Mrs. , six miles from Wiuton, which
has been strongly suspected of being a har
bor for negroes; a dispute about some tri
fling circumstance had brought them to
high words, a.td Tom at last became so ir
ritated that he laid down his gun, and ta
i king a fence rail from the stack pen, struck
Nat a blow with it, which felled him to the
1 ground, and on his repeating the blow, Nat
drew a long bladed knife and plunged it
into Tom’s breast; upon which Tom seized
his gun au<J fired the whole contents (buck
into Nat s bowels, and then reverses *
the weapon, proceeded to beat him over
the head with the Dreech, Vat at the snipe
time stabbing him in the side and breas
with bis knife, until finally. Tom havit -
shivered his gun to pieces in laying ( °
upon Nat, left him and walked about Oj
paces, when he dropped dead. Nat’s crit
soon brought some of the people from M.
; ’s, to his assistance, who remove
him to the house, where he survived onlv ;
| few hours, during which ho gave the pV. .
ceding account of his sanguinary conflict.
Thus have two as desperate villiaus
ever defied the gallows, atoned fur the!
crimes and relieved the hanassed neig!.
borhood which had so long boen the thealj.
of their depredations and atrocities, of a;,
further alarm on their account. —by becor.i
