Will lie take that, too, under his imme diate control? “He is not ÜBed to do things by halves!” He was elected, it seems, to reform abuses.— Wliat abuses? Will he cut short the long speeches of members of Congress? or what else will he cut off? The work is not to be done by halves. But this reformation! What does it portend?— Our government has heretofore been wisely, eco nomically administered; is there to be a change? and will it be from good, to better? or worse?— For ourselves, we are satisfied with the present operations of our government. Wc deprecate all revolutions in this country. We can scarcely hope to see things amended by them. If, now, the new President could reform the morals of the people, in several particulars, we would say God speed him. If he could make politicians more honest, editors more liberal, advertisements more plenty, and country subscribers more punctual, even Duff Green should not be louder than our selves, in his applause. But this l igmarole about economy, reform, and all that kind of thing, is ail nonsense; for, with the exception of the dismis sion of a few half-starved clerks in the Executive offices, for the purpose of satisfying still more hun gry expectants, we imagine government will go en pretty much in the old way.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. On fhis Message being read, a motion was made, of course, to print it, with the documents; and, after a long debate, the motion was negatived , 24 votes to 18! After which, by a very prudential move ment of Mr. T-zewell, the document was transferred from the Legislative to the Ex ecutive record, so as to conceal its contents from the public, as if the spider’s web could exclude the light of the sun. The public ought to have these docu ments concerning the Panama mission, and they shall, too, if we can get at them.— We have no idea that those gentlemen, who have rode into popularity and power upon this hobby, shall now be allowed to disown and repudiate it. They wanted the information, when it would have been injurious to the public interest to receive it; and, now that it is no longer so, they re- fuse to receive it! The Senate of the Uuiled States re-as semblus to-day on special invitation of Pre sident Adams, and is to meet at 11 o’clock. To-morrow it will he occupied, it is sup posed, with the consideration of the nomi nations made by his successor. From the Eastern Argus, (Portland, Maine. Murder and an attempt at Suicide. —lt becomes our duty to record one of the most shocking transactions that has occurred in this vicinity within our recollection. On | the afternoon of Saturday last, John Mor ‘ gan of this town, ill a paroxysm of rage. ’Stabbed his wife Salome, in the heart with ; a butcher s knife, and then attempted to i take his own with the s..me instrument. The circumstances which led to the blo<dv transaction, us near as we ca i learn, aie thest: — Morgan is about 31 years of age, I and ?> by occupation a fisherman. He bar been married to the deceased six years, am bad had by lit*r two children, both ol whict were dead* The age of the deceased w 22 or thereabouts. He sustained the re SAVANNAH. THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 19, 1829. putation of an industrious, prudent and temperate man; and tiiey lived happily to gether till about eight weeks ago, when he, for the first time, had convincing proofs of what he had some time suspected—her in fidelity to his bed. Returning late one night from a fishing voyage, lie found one ol those unprincipled villains, who, trained in gambling houses and brothels, are nightly ransacking the by-streets and lanes of our town, debauching such unprotected females as have not fortitude to resist their arts and importunities, in bed with his wife; The regard he had for his beloved wife prompt ed tlie injured husband to let the miscreant escape, and to hilsh the matter up—and by her solemn assurance that this was her first offence, and that it should be her last, if he would forgive her, he was induced to over look all that had passed. Nothing further transpired to disturb his peace until Monday last, when he returned from another voyage. On going to his house about 11 o’clock in the evening, he found his wife absent. In a few nimules a cairiage was driven within a few rods of the house and two females got out of iL Who the person in the carriage was lie could not ascertain, as he imme diately turned about and drove off; but on approaching the two females he found one ot them to be his wife, and the otiier Mrs. Abbot, bis next door neighbor, a smooth tongued, mighty good sort-of-u-woman, a bout forty five years old Mrs. Morgan refused to tell her husband the name of the man who was in the carriage with her— she said site had been out into the country for a nde, and to see a relation along with Mr. Abbot, and that nothing improper had been done.* Mrs. A. also refused to give the name of their gallant—contended it was not of the hast importance who it was— they had simply been out for a ride, on a little excursion of pleasure into the country, and more than insinuated that it was no- : body s business who had the politeness to > wail on tin ir ladyships. The refusal of; Mrs. M. to give her husband any satisfac tion in regard to her evening excursions, so enraged him that he struck her several times with iiis hand, on which she criedooafr f ; “John, you have almost killed me”—to which he replied I am sorry that I have hurt you. I ought not to have done it.— This part of die transaction was witnessed by one of tlie watch, who, suppposing all difficulties would be adjusted by the parties themselves, left them. But about 2 o’clock he was sent for, and on reaching the house of Morgan he was at firt refused admittance, hut the door was at lenght opened; and he went in. Morgan and his wife were sitting by the fire, though from the shattered* condition of some of the furniture it was evident a violent storm had preceded. However, Mrs. Mor gan said she was not in the least afraid to stay with him, and on receiving assurances from both that they would be peaceable the watch left them. The foil owing day they separated. He removed his furniture to his boarding house, and his wife took up her abode with the before mentioned matronly Mrs. Abbot, who took the innocent and unprotected lady in purely out of charity, till she could make arrangements to go to Boston. Here she remained until she received the fatal visit of her husband. (!t appeared from the testimony before the jury of Inquest, that M orgnn was very unhappy from the time lic* left his wife—that he had written to her twice, proposing to forgive nil that had tak en place on both sides, and go to keeping house again—that he was constantly talk ing about her, and said that she would not conduct as she did, were it not for the ad vice of her associates, Sir. He seemed to be resolved to live with her, or not to live at all; and on one occasion he was beard to say, that if she would not make up and live with him again, one grave should hold them both. It was also stated that he pro cured the knife the day previous to that on which the deed was done, and ground it; and on being asked what he was “going to do with it, replied he was “going to have sorno fun with it. To another he remarked, lie intended to kill his wife with it if she would not live with him, and then kill him self, with otherexpressionsotsimilarimport. When he entered the house where bis wife was, he appeared perfectly calm, and ex pressed a willingness to forgive her all past conduct, and his sorrow for having in an} way abused hoi; he wished what had pas sed might be forgotten, and that she would consent to live with him again. To which she coldly replied, she would consider of it, and let him know the next day. lie told ter then was the time for her to make up her mind, and insisted on her doing it im mediately but she persisted in trying to put him off till the next day. WJien finding he was not likely to prevail, be unbuttoned his pea-jacket and took out the knife, and turning to Mrs. Abbot who was in the room, said * life is sweet, an’t it Mrs. Abbot?”— The expression and the manner in which it was ufterred, so alarmed Mrs A. that she ran out of the room to call the neighbors leaving Morgan and his wife together.— A. Mr. Willis entered the room first, and found the deceased loaning back on a chair, and Morgan standing a few feet from her with the knife with which be had stabbed *Therc is we understand, a material difference between the history of this evening’s excursion, ; given by Mrs. Abbot, under oath before the Jury of Inquest, and that given by the Watch, who were at the place when she arrived with the de ceased in the carriage, and met Morgan. Mrs. A. ; estified, if we are rightly informed, that no man v\ as in the carriage with them, and that she drove *he horse herself. The Wachman says, a man • as with them, and after both Mrs. Abbot and T rs Morgan got out of the carriage, he drove off; tnd that Morgan tried to ascertain who he was. I*is wife, still in his body. Willis succeeded in pulling it gu', though lie ( ’organ) tried ids utmost to prevent him from so doing.— Othejs rushed into the room, and on seeing the situation of the deceased who was then expiring asked him what he had beeen a- Lu* ? H“ pointed to the wound in ids own i body, -i! h I said “/have fixed myself toof fie ni: kept his position, and to prevent his doing further mischief, it tfas thought hot to confine his hands, which was with mu ii difficulty accomplished:—the agony ol his mind and body seemed to have doubl ed Ins natural strength. However, Ids ex eidon and the loss of blood soon over came him, and he became very weak.—— W lieti intei rogated on the subject, he per sisted in saying he was glad he had killed his wife, and regretted that lie did not die instantly Idmseli, untill next morning, when lie became penitent. He acknowledged the truth of the statements made before the jury of inquest, and expressed deep sorrow lor till he had done. He said the treat ment of his wife to him when he asked for a reconciliation, so aggravated the wrongs she had done him, that he was unable to restrain li is passions. He did not desire to recover, but hoped to die and be buried in the same grave with his wife. On Sun day, we understand he sent for Rev. Mr. Rand, and requested him to attteqd the funeral of the deceased He is still alive and is able to take some nourishment, but it is the opinion of the physicians who ex amined him that there is but little chance for his recovery. He doubtless aimed the blow at his heart but struck a little too low to accomplish his object. Fire in Belfast —About l o’clock on the night of the 19th oh. the store occupied by Mr. F. A. Lewis, in Maine street, was discovered to be on fire The chambers over Mr. Lewis’ store, were occupied by the Hon. YVm. Crosby, and VV m . G.

The wind was light from south west yes terday, for the fiist time in several days, and the weather was mild and pleasant.— The mails all arrived at within a short time of the regular hours, and the Philadelphia papers were received about 5 o’clock in the afternoon by the Union Line. About twenty vessels arrived yesterday, loaded with fire wood. A fire broke out between 4 and s|o clock yesterday morning, in the cabinet maker’s hop of Kilman & Mead, 94 Broad street, which spread with great rapidity among the small wooden buildings near it, entirely de stroying No. 94, in which it commenced, 96, a small house occupied by an elderly woman a> a fruit shop, and 98, Mr. Vreel and’s bakery on the corner of Bridge street, with most of their contents. The tallow chandlery of Mr. J. Coburn, 35 Bridge st. was nearly destroyed, together with a large quantity of soap, candles, &c. and all his fixtures. The house 92 Broad street, and two or three small houses in Stone street, were greatly injured. The grocery store of Mr. De Forest 90 Broad, corner of Bridge street, was slightly injured.
