FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 7.
Peunfleld College.
We learn that the Hon. Geo. W. Cbawi-ord
has accepted the appointment to deliver an ora
tion before the Literary Societies of this Insti
tution, on Wednesday, the 26th instant.
Jj- The National Intelligencer says:—The
statements in the subjoined paragraph may or
may not be true; or they may be in part true,
and in part false. It any considerable part ol
them be well founded, an entirely new channel
■would seem to have been devised for the diplo
matic intercourse between the United States
and Foreign Powers, by the resort to which
neither the ex-Secretary of State nor our Minis
ter to London can have felt themselves particu
larly flattered. It seems probable however that
the whole story is but an ingenious fable, devi
sed for the amusement ot our transatlantic
friends:
‘■The London Herald, at the close ol an arti
cle on the subject of a commercial treaty be
tween Great Britain and this country, makes
the following statement:
“Mr. Durr Green—The gentleman to whom
•we have already reierred, who was formerly
connected with a Washington journal, and who
enjoys, we are told, the President’s confidence—
being lately about to proceed to Europe, was
put by Mr." Tyler into complete possession ol
his views, and strongly recommended by the
President to the American Minister resident at
this Court. Mr. Everett was indeed directed by
Mr. Trier to present Mr. Green to Sir Roliert
Peel in reference to this subject. Mr. Green
had not, however, any otiicial character or pow
ers, and his mission was simply to impress on
our Government President Tyler’s opinion, and
to express his willingness to open negotiations
at Washington. Mr. Green has, we hear, been
placed in communication with Sir Robert Peel;
but it has, we are informed, been intimated to
him that as he is not possessed of any diplomatic
powers or character, no expression of opinion
or reply to his statements can be given by the
responsible servants of the British Crown. —
Those statements have been heard with atten
tion and courtesy, and there the matter ends.”
The Cttoict: or New Hampshire.—The Lo
cofoco members of both branches of the Legis
lature ot New Hampshire, and of the Execu
tive department, assembled in Convention at
Concord on Thursday the 29th ult., to consid
er the subject of making a recommendation of
a candidate for the Presidency, pasted by an al
most unanimous vote a series of resolutions
strongly and decidedly recommending Mr. Van
Buren as the choice of New Hampshire for
that office. Os over 169 members of the Con
vention present, 154 vo ed tor the resolutions, to
fire against them. ,
The Columbia steam packet, Capt. Shannon,
sailed Saturday from Boston, at 2 p. >1 , for
Halifax and Liverpool. She took out 81 pas
sengers, including 12 for Halifax, 14,000 letters
and 50 bushels of newspapers.
£j"The Baltimore American says—W e are
happy to learn from the Alexandria Gazette that
the paragraph going the rounds ot some of the
Northern papers, relative to the proposed sale
of the Mount Kmon estate, is altogether erro
neous. The estate is in the possession ot the
Washington family, owned by a most worthy
and excellent gentleman, who does not intend
to sell it, and long may it continue to descend to
those who bear filename of the Father of his
country!
Cr A New York letter of Saturday says—
The new live per cent, loan is much sought tor,
and cann. t be had under 105 cash, which was
obtained tor £SOOO yesterday, by one of the ori
ginal takers of stock.
A Remarkable Rose Busk.—There is in
the garden of Mr. Lewis, at Hoboken, N. Y.,
a rose tree which bears pure white and pink
flowers on alternate branches, the colors being
distinct on their respective branches, and not in
the least blended one with the other. It is quite
different from the Grevilte, which bears white
and purple flowers, and every intermediate
shade and tint. What makes the tree remarka
ble is, that the flowers are natural, having been
produced without inoculation or grafting, and
entirely of spontaneous growth. At Niblo's
garden, there are rose trees seemingly the same,
but being so only in appearance, as the colors
are acknowledged to have been produced by in
oculation.
Pennsylvania Hall Damaces.—The jury
appointed to assess the damages done by the
burring of Pennsylvania Hall, Philadelphia, in
1838, have fixed the amount nt $22,658 27.
The Cabinet—The Madisonian says that
Mr. Nelson has accepted the appointment of At
torney General of the United States. The Mad
isonian also notices as a “rumor” that the Navy
Department has been ottered to David Henshaw,
ol Boston. As this “rumor” oi the Madisonian
can scarcely fail to be true, and as it is fully cer
tain that Mr. Henshaw will accept, and Mr. Up
shur remain in the State Department, the Tyler
Cabinet, as re-organized, stands:
A. P. Upshur, of Virginia, Secretary of State.
J. C. Spencer, of N. V. Secretary ot the Treas
ury.
J. M. Porter, of Penn., Secretary of War.
D. Henshaw, of Mass., Secretary of the Navy.
C. W. Wickliffe, ol Ky., Postmaster General.
John Nelson of Maryland, Attorney General.
Being three recusant Whigs, and three Loco
focos.
jfy The members ot the Masonic body in Eng
land, have been ordered into mourning for twelve
months for live loss of their Grand Master the
late Duke of Sussex.
y? The St. Louis Republican contains ad
vices from Santa Fe, which state that a body of
600 Mexican soldiers was to leave that place
on the Ist May, for the protection of the traders
to and from the United States.
The Reverted Lands.—We learn, says the
Milledgeville Journal, that the Governor will
not carry into immediate execution that part of
the act ot the last Legislature, which authorized
the sale of all land which reverted to the State
on the Ist instant, by grants not being taken out.
It is the intention of the Governor, we learn, to
await the action of the next Legislature. This
course has been adopted in consequence of the
imperfection of the law—as it appears, by read
ing oiie or two sections ot it, that the Legislature
intended to except the laud of orphans, for the
present, from'its operation, wheteas other sec
tions, and the last, have not that bearing.
Vermont Wilic. State Convention.—The
Convention lor the nomination of State officers
assembled at Rutland on the 28th ult. A com
mittee from the several counties, (appointed ac
cording to the Senatorial representation,) was
appointed, and on their report Hon. John Mat
tocks, ot Pecham, was nominated for Governor,
Hoc. Horace Eaton, of Enosburg, tor Lieuten
ant Governor, and Hon. John Spaulding, of
Moatpelier, for Treasurer.

Movement of the Destructives.
The Committee on Military Affairs, in the
New Hampshire Legislature, to whom was re
ferred a resolution in relation tothe West Point
Academy, reported several resolutions declaring
he institution to be unworthy of support, and
instructing their Senators -red Representatives
:o vote against any appropriations for the sup.
■ port of the institution, and to vote for and use
heir efforts to have the same entirely abolished.
The resolutions were read once.
A Sign.—The Washington Spectator (Cal
houn paper) has seven columns of advertisements
and only one of them, of six lines, is from an in
dividual. All the other are government adver
tisements, paid for out of the Treasury; while
the Intelligencer, which pr. bably has more than
ten times as many subscribers, does not contain
a single Government advertisement. Every lit
tle Tyler paper, however, whether having any
subscribers or not, is sure to have its columns
filled with these government advertisements.—
Kenn ebec Journal.
The Presidency and the Vice.
On these relations, looking before and after,
the editor of Hill’s Patriot, who is quite likely
to be as well informed as any body else ot his
party, says:
“The Presidential intriguers at Washington
of the last winter, whose plan is to forestall pub
lic opinion everywhere, have no more serious
intention of supporting James K. Polk to the
Vice Presidency than they Lave the man in the
moon; they have promised that office to Mr.
Stevenson of Virginia.”
And he adds in reference to another of the
second fiddles of the party —
“Yet in the West they are now striving to
coax the old scar-worn veteran, Richard M.
Johnson, that they intend to support him along
with Mr. Van Buren! For fear of inj tiring the
prospers of Van Buren, on account of the sup
posed indisposition of Virginia and the strict
constructionists to support him, the politicians
of the last Baltimore Convention forced through
a resolution pretermitting the nomination of any
Vice President! It is said by good judges that
if the order had been reversed, and Richard M.
Johnson for President, and Martin Van Buren
for Vice President, had been supported, the dem
ocrats would not have failed in the great elec
tion in 1410.”
A curious remark, this last, from one who
supported Van Buren through and through, and
received from him one of the most important of
fices in his gift.
An Uncommon Incident.—On Sunday mor
ning, says the Dubuque Expressof the 11th ult.,
while the steamboat Rapids was lying at our
landing working off steam, a wild pigeon flew
directly over the scape pipe, just after the puff
had blown off, when the air, partially returning,
drew the pigeon into the pipe, and down intothe
va ve so that it became closed. From this posi
tion, it could not be dislodged till the scape-pipe
was un-rrewed and taken off. Several persons
on the landing saw the bird fly in, and the cause
of the difficulty thus became immediately known,
otherwise it is possible that an explosion may
have be- n the consequence.
Deat t op General Eustis.—We learn from
the Portland papers, that Brigadier General
Abraham Eustis, commander ofthe Sixth Divi
sion of the U. S. Army, died in that city on
Tuesday morning, the 27th ult., of congestion
of the brain. He was to be interred on Wed
nesday with military honors.
Jj”The Federal Union ot the 4th inst. says:
“We learn from a gentleman who arrived here
yesterday from Sumter county, that Dempsey
J. Justice and Brown, the assassins who
murdered the Penitentiary Guard in Twiggs
county a short time since, have been arrested in
Alabama, and are now on their way to Twiggs
county j til.
The Locofocos of Maine held a State Con
vention at Bangor on Thursday, 22.1 ult., at
which Hugh J. Anderson was nominated as
their candidate for the office of Governor of the
State at :he next election. The vote stood —for
Hugh J. Anderson 162, Edward Kavanah 124,
scattering 13.
The < onvention also adopted a series of re
solution-, one of which (adopted by a vote of
about two tootle,) recommends Mr. Van Buren
as the candidate of their party tor next Presi
dent.—Aaf. Int.
JJpTlie Troy Whig contains a long letter
from Washington, from which we detach the fol
lowing account of a Romish operation. He
says:—
The closing scene of the triannual Catholic
Convention was solemnized in my presence, in
the magnificent Cathedral, with all the pomp of
the Romish Church. Seventeen mitred Bishops
were assembled in the chancel, surrounded by
numberless priests in full canonicals, that seem
ed new for the occasion, headed by the handsome
Arch Bishop yet in the meridian of life. His
vestments and Crozier, with splendidly embroid
ered slippers, might readily mislead the uninitia
ted to mistake him for the great Pontiff himself,
to whom a sacerdotal letter had been addressed
by the conclave, to which 1 saw the Bishops as
sembled, attach their signatures. The finest
music pealed from the organ, accompanied by
vocal strains worthy of the occasion. In our
country such an imposing scene is rarely wit
nessed. The immense Cathedral was entirely
filled, and many were unal le to gain admittance.
A Thrilling Incident.— The editor of the
Brooklyn News says:—“On our way down
Hicks street on Friday about noon, we were
startled by a terrific shriek from a young lady
on the opposite side of the street from us, and
with rather more than our usual gallantry, has
tened to ascertain if we could render assistance.
She was leaning against an iron railing, hei lips
bloodless and quivering with emotion, her
cheeks deathly pale, and her whole frame great
ly agitated. We enquired the cause of her agi
tation—whether we should summon a cab to
convey her home—run tor a physician, or in
any way render her aid or comfort, but she spoke
not. None but ourself being present, we were
airaid to leave the lady , what to do we knew
not. Her eyes were wildly fixed as though some
hideous monster sto«d palpably before her. At
length she startl'd, uttered a stifled scream, and
we again enquired if we could render her any
assistant With a tremulous voice, she re
plied, “. f, dr-do, sir, taler that hideous warm off
nnjur-rs.’ I: was our turn now, but we neither
fainted or shrieked, but quickly removed the ob
noxious insect. The young lady soon recover
ed, and as a blush suffused her pretty cheek and
a smile her lip, she thanked us for the service
rendered, and hurried away.”
An Interesting Circumstance.—General
Dearborn has communicated the f diowing to
the Boston Courier:
“When I entered the room at Concert Hall,
on the morning of the 17tb, where the members
of the Society of Cincinnati were to assemble
for the purpose of joining the procession, I
found several old soldiers ol the revolution, who
had come there by mistake, instead of going to
the State House.'
While in conversation with one of the mem
bers oi the society, 1 was surprised to hear the
notes of a fife in the room, and turning in the di
rection from w hence they proceeded, discovered
an aged man, seated among the old soldiers,
who was performing on that instrument. I im
mediately went and took a seat beside him and
listened until he had concluded playing Wash
ington's March, when the following conversation
ensued:
Were you a titer in the revolutionary army?
‘1 was.’ ’ln what corps’ ‘Nixon’s Regiment
and Nixon’s brigade.’ How long did you serve?
'Three years. I was in the campaigns in the
Jerseys, and I was present at the execution ot
Major Andre.' How old are you! ‘laui in
ray 83d year.’ Where do you live? ‘ln Spring
field." What is your name? ‘Thaddeus Ferry.'
He then pjaved Yankee Doodle, and remarka
bly well. He had a grandson with him, who
appeared to be ten or twelve years old, and who
had accompanied his grandfather, apparently, to
take care of hi in, as the veteran was feeble, and so
deaf as to render it difficult to converse with
him.
How remarkable that after the lapse of time
which hau intervened since the close of the rev
olution, there should be heard, in the Society of
the Cincinnati, on the 68th anniversary of the
battle of Bunker Hill, a filer of Washington’s
armv, playing the march of that illustrious pa
triot. and the spirit stirring national air of Yan
kee Doodle, which had so often cheered the Am
erican camp during the glorious straggle for
liberty and national independence.
.From the Richmond Compiler.
The Parade about Presidents.
We observe that few papers have any thin;
to say as to the principle of the pompous honoi
paid to the President ofthe U. States in his join
neys about the country —i. e., nothing as to th
propriety of such exhibitions as a custom of ou
country. The newspaper comm mts have ger
erally savored of the feeling entertained by th
editors towards Mr. Tyler. Mr. Jones, the ai
cotnplished editor of the Madisonian, lor in
stance, thought nothing in the tide of time equal
led the spontaneous bust of patriotic feelin
and popular esteem, displayed in the publi
honors accorded to the President on his roui.
northward. The presses, devoted to the At
ministration, indulged in the same vein of ex
ultation. The Whig papers, which despise th
President, condemned the scences of the “Pit
grim’s Progress,” as they termed it, becaus
Air. Tyler was unworthy of them. Some pa
pers, again, thought that the honors were not al
intended for the man, but for the office. In re
ply to these, Mr. Jones facetiously inquired, i
the young ladies who kissed Mr. Tyler, kisse.
the ofliee or the man?
We should have been gratified if, amidst thi
comments, there had been something moie sai.
on the true question—the propriety of tires,
public exhibitions, this pageantry and pomp, it
honor of a public officer. Are they in keeping
with onr institutions? Do they comport will
the independence and self respect of tiie people,
the source of power and authority? These ar.
the questions.
We are against them on every ground. At
an honor to the offuxr, they are not eonsisten
with our idea of the genius of our institution-
A marked difference between ourgovemmen
and a monarchy, ought to be that our highes
officer is not shielded by his office from public
examination into his acts, and the amenabilit
ol all his delinquences to the public censure.—
The deification ofthe office, and the necessity
of bestow ing upon it, through him, the highest
marks of popular respect, would go far to oblit
erate this important distinction—a distinction
by which are strengthened the incentives to vir
tue, in the rulers ol our country.
They are unbecoming in us and unnecessarj
as a means of honoring a Chief Magistrate.—
They are unbecoming, because they represent
us in an attitude which detracts from oiir self
respect. While they cannot exalt the officer—
becaus.: already raised to the highest place to
which our favor and confidence can lift him—
wa ourselves are humbled. They are unneces
sSry, as we have already honored him by pla
cing him in office, and we should endeavor to
keep in mind that under our institutions the
people can honor an individual in no way so
much as to elect him from among thousands to
preside over them. Once so exalted, ne should
regard himself as having attained the highest
pinnacle of honor at the hands ot the people.—
Beyond this the people themselves should esteem
any demonstration superrogatory: incapable of
elevating the officer, but widening the distance
between him and them, by degrading them
selves.
Thete is something decidedly farcical in our
eyes, in a multitude of men moving in proces
sion, hallooing and whooping at the top of their
voices, bearing banners, shooting cannon, and
so on, in honor of a man in our day. Ii a
Washingti n were receiving such honors, thete
would he enough of greatness and grandeur in
the character ofthe man to give to the scene the
necessary degree of gravity to prevent it from
becoming a farce. T here would be enough ol
national gratitude due him to make the exhibi
tion sincere, and worthy the bestowers and the
recipient. But in our modern day popular de
monstrations are altogether farcical.
These honors to Presidents are of modem in
vention : they were declined by the Presidents
who preceded General Jackson, and to those
who did not decline them, they were not accord
ed. People did not think of such a thing. The
disposition then was to censure Presidents Ibi
leaving Washington, rather than to decoy them
off to bi- shown and paraded about the country.
This feeling was carried by the opposition to
Mr. Adams to the most insulting and scanda
lous extremes, whenever he took a short relaxa
tion from the duties of his office. Witness the
adverti- cment, published in August, 1828, by a
New York Jackson paper, and which was co
pied throughout the Ij. States by the presses of
the then Jackson party, some of them adding
the cut of a rwnatmy ncgnrirtm a. on .Vis

Seizure of an American Vessel.
The New York Tribune has a long account
of the seizure and detention of the brigantine
Robert, owned by Messrs. Gilman & Small, ol
that city, and commanded by Captain Albert
Cook, engaged in trading to the coast of Atrica.
It seems that the brig, previous to her arrival
at Sierre Leone in March List, had »een trading
along the coast, and a correct list ol her cargo
could not be made out, as the supercargo had
remained at another port to trade. Upon nter
ing the vessel, however, this error in the mani
fest was mentioned to the Collector, who stated
in the presence of a witness, that “ explanatu n
was quite satisfactory, and promised that if any
other articles were discovered, the report might
be amended, and no seizure should be-made.”
On the 12th of April, when Captain Cook ap
plied lor his clearance, the vessel was searched
as usual, and a few packages of tea found, up
on which the Collector refused Wallow ttie re
port to be amended, seized the tea, claimed of
the master the forfeiture, and refused to clear
the vessel until the 15th of April. On the 17th,
having received her clearance, the Robert stout
out to sea. She had cleared the harbor, and
had got into the broad sea—being westward ol
the Cape and in the Atlantic—when she was
boarded by the Collector, McCormack, who
found the captain absent and the mate in chatge,
a pilot being al the helm. The Collector order
ed the vessel about.
Capt. Cook seeing the vessel returning, im
mediately went on board, handed a note to Mr.
McCormack, which he said would satisfy him,
and ordered the man at the wheel to put about
and stand out to sea. Mr. McCormack wen.
aft, seized the captain by the shoulders, anu
thrust him from the wheel. The captain turn?.,
and pushed him off; the cabin door being open
and near, Mr. McCormack tell headlong down
the stairs, but instantly returned, seized tne cap
tain, who had been able to procure no weapon
but a spyglass, and called out tor his boat’s crew
ot negroes, who immediately came on board, as
did also the pilot’s negro crew, and the tight be
came general between the captain's crew anu
the two bands of negroes. Ine latter piovu
the victors.—Capt. Cook was thrown upon the
deck, his clothes torn off, his body trampled up
on, and he dragged by a rope across the deck
and lashed to a gun. Hiscrew were treated in
a similar manner, and watched by McCor
mack’s men who armed themselves with knives
and axes found on board.
The vessel was then taken up the river sever
al miles to Freetown. Captain Cook was here
thrust into a dungeon, where no white man couk.
live many days, and only removed to more en
durable quartersalter urgent solicitation and the
offer of heavy bail by a friend.
The vessel was then searched again—but no
thing found on board nut included in the mani
fest, except the ammunition in her magazine
provide : >or her defence, lor making signals,
&c., an > which formed no part of her cargo.—
The Ci ;.e, t : seized the ship’s register, hei
clearanc , ;.i-"ounts <4 sale ot' her cargo, am.
private pa:ais, and removed the c.nouuiueier,
some bags of money, and other articles—some
of which have never been restored. On the 21s.
of April, they were formally demanded and sur
rendered, with the exception of the clearance,
which the Collector said he should retain till the
Captain’s alleged forfeitures (in amount £200;
were paid. He was told by the Captain’s legal
adviser that the vessel could nut lie detained on
those grounds, and on the 22d gave up the clear
ance.
The Captain and Mate were afterwards ar
rested and fined £5 each for an assault on Col
lector McCormack, which was sworn to by his
men.
Capt. Cook immediately wrote to Lieut. Ar
thur Lewis, commanding the United States
brig Porpoise, concerning the affair, enclosing
copies of the testimony given before the Police,
and all other papers necessary. Lieut. Lewis
forwarded them to the Secretary oi the Navy,
by whom they were handed over to the Stale
Department.
it is alleged by McCormack that he only act
ed in performance of his duty.
Capt. Cook contends in reply, 1, that the ves
sel was out of the Collector’s j urisdiction, being
on the high seas; 2, that the tea, (without refer
ence to the Collector’s promise,) though per
haps legally seizable, would not be forfeited in
equity, as the vessel was going out ol port, and
no design of importing it could be supposed; 3,
that the gunpowder was part of the ship’s stores,
necessary to the voyage, and no more to be re
ported than the biscuit or other provisions, 4,
that, at any rate, the vessel was entitled to her
clearance after 24 hours notice; 5, that the seiz
ure of the vessel at sea was an outrage utterly
unwarranted by law—as the only case in which
the act of parliament warrants this procedure is
when vessels hovering within a league of the
shore shall refuse to depart after 24 hours no
tice; 6, that the seizure of the ship’s papers was
unlawful; and*, that the detention of the vessel
after the search was entirely unwarranted.
At a meeting of the Whig party of Clarke
County, held at Watkinsville on Tuesday last,
the following gentlemen were nominatedas can
didates formembers of the next Legislature— for
Senator, Hon. Charles Dougherty; for Repre

AUGUSTA, GA THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 13, 1843.
SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 8.
Sherifl’ Maharrey and the Platt Jury.
In this morning’s paper will be found thi
communication of Mr. Mahabrey, in which he
ndeavors to defend himself against the well
grounded suspicions which have existed in this
■ommunity, that there had been foul play in
■uinmoning this notorious jury. We congrat
late Mr. M. on the keenness of his perceptiv.
acuities, and hope he has been able, unaided,
o distinguish between “this community, ano
hose of its citizens who have indulged in un
neasured abuse of men whom he is bound
o consider innocent,” &c. He is certainly
t precocious genius, to have discovered that
cc are not “ this community" however we may
peak the sentiments ofthe great mass of its
especlable. members. We are also gratified to
md, that he has nothing to fear from men who
.re lavish in assertion and produce little proof.
Is yet, we have said very little ot Sheriff Ma
larrey. We have said there was corruption
pmewiiere in the trial—we have adduced the
>roof, and public opinion here and elsewhere
has sustained that assertion upon the proof; and
we have demanded of Mr. Maharrey to purge
limselt of the suspicions w-hich rested upon him
ts the officer of the Court, and we have his
explanation. There are yet, however, some
things to which this explanation, plausible and
air as it seems, does not refer, to which we
-hall call the Sheriff’s attention, and see how he
will explain them, which it unexplained may
.mount to something like proof of his patticipa
tion in this fraud upon the country.
When we entered upon this matter, we de
termined, be the consequences what they might,
to expose every- man, no matter what position
he occupied in society, who could not come out
of that trial with clean hands; and to hold him
up to the country- as a fit associate and compan
ion in crime with the jury who rendered the
verdict. From this determination we have not
departed, and shall not depait; for although we
may be unable to trace out the guilty actors, it
will be by no means conclusive evidence that
they do not exist, but rather that they have
shielded themselves by their cunning.
Mr. Maharrey occupied a prominent position
in this trial, as the Sheriff of the county, to
whom was especially confided the summoning
of talesmen from which a jury was to be select
ed, and notwithstanding he shields himself be
hind his position that the talesmen, were sum
moned by bailiffs, nevertheless if we can show
by a chain of circumstances, that he and his
bailiffs were moved and actuated in their course
by the same principles, so far as those princi
ples may be judged from their actions, it would
seem not unreasonable that those baiiitis, some
of them at least, were but carrying out the in
struc ions or known will of their superior offi
cer. It is not to be expected of us, on an occa
sion like this, to produce positive proof of the
guilt of the Sheriff', even if he really be guilty—
to suppose such a thing would be underrating
his loio cunning. We can, therefore, only ad
duce a chain of circumstances, which we will
at any time verify- by witnesses of unimpeach
able veracity, and if the Sheriff fails to explain
them to the satisfaction of this community- the
fault will be his, and whatever suspicion of
guilt may thereby rest upon him, it will’be his
duty to remove if he values his reputation.
Mr. Maharrey says the talesmen were sum
moned by Baiiitis, and that the lists were copied
in the order ot the originals, arulln th* order in
which the-originals were handed in. Where is
the proof of this fact. Mr. Maharrey? Wewant
some attestation of its truth. It is not to be
supposed that a man suspected of fraud, is to
exculpate himself of all participation upon his
mere assertion, unsupported by any evidence or
proof of his innocence. But we pass on to the
circumstances, which we, and we apprehend
this community will, desire to see explained.—
The first of which shows, the spirit that not only
influenced you, but in some measure your bail
iffs. You say, in obedience to instructions from
the Court, on Tuesday, you ordered “nine” bail
iffs to summon every petit juror they- could find
lor Thursday morning. Really, these nine bail
iffs must have been exceedingly industrious to
have found in both days, Tuesday and Wednes
day, the extraordinary number of 210 talesmen ■
for that was all that were summoned. This
ooks, to an unsophisticated mind, as though a
good portion of these 240 were hunted out from
the mass, as it required nine men quite two
days to find them in a city. NVill you explain,
Mr. Maharrey-, how it happened that your Bail
iffs should have summoned for Thursday, al;
the operatives subject to do jury duty in the
Constitutionalist office, and not one in the office
ot the Chronicle and Sentinel ? The latter is
somelbing’nearer the City Hall—is quite as ea
sy of access, and has quite as many jurymen.
Again, will you let "this community" know by
what process you excluded Horace H. Clapp
from the regular panel on Thutsday morning ?
Mr. Clapp was in his place when the jury was
called, and, without having solicited to be ex
cused, found himself ejected from the pannel
and another substituted in liis place. Did any
one of those nine bailiff's do that?
On Thursday night the five paunels, or 240
talesmen, summoned by the nine bailiff's were
exhausted, and you were ordered by the Court
to summon others and have them in Court on
the mt rning of Friday. Will you explain why
it was that while out on Friday morning, you
passed down an entire block, in the central part
of the city, and only stopped in at two houses,
and em h of those had a tenant who were demo
crats?
Again, will you explain why you felt it ne
cessary, (filling as you do the important office
of Sheriff, and sworn to discharge faithfully
and impartially your duties,) when .1. T. Davis,
in the sixth pannel, was put upon the prisoner,
to ex laini, in an au lible tone. /».•! ,!.■>, h-’s
too strung a D aq,', Craueford can m-ki. him be
lieve any thing," or words to that effect? And
again, why, on the other hand, when William
Livennan was called, immediately afterward,
did you exclaim, "he'll do, ire’ll take him?"
These, sir, are things we want explained—
and “ this community ” want them explained,
that they may judge how far you have contrib
uted to bring about the fraud which has been
consummated upon the country. It is right and
proper, sir, for the country to know whether
men are to be excluded by you and your bailiffs
ram serving upon juries because they are
Whigs, and whether others are to be hunted out
and selected to serve, because they are Loco
focos. And, sir, it is right and proper, if you
have even winked at such high handed injus
tice and fraud, that you should lie exposed;
and we pledge ourself to you, and to the coun
try, if you are guilty, to expose you before the
country, and let that country administer the
correction.
The Platt Jcrors, are more susceptible ol
the influences which the finger of scorn wields
than we had supposed.—Three of them have al
ready taken their departure from the city, viz:
Wm. Cady, E. C. Ellington, and Thomas Liv
ennan.

Candid Admission of the Destructive Ten
dencies of Locofocoism.
In the following paragraph from the address
if the South Carolina Loco State Convention
-here is a very hard hit at the Jackson and Vax.
Buren administrations. It is never
theless. There are few that willhave the hardi
hood to deny that the policy of the Government
ibr the last twelve years has been directed ano
has operated against the industry ol the country.
About the commencement oi thret period, the
Government and the States were with a debt
merely nominal; with a soil yielding vast re
turns ibr small outlays of capital a people the
most industrious and enterprising—directing to
the “creation of value” 3 greater amount qf
lime, intellect and energy than any other in the
world—lor in fact the great mas 4 0l mind and
rere i-jj-.-o! the nation has been t. -voted almost
exclusively to this object, withtl • advantage of
fresh and most fertile materials,—yet these ef
forts and advantages have been paralyze). and
have resulted in no advance
destructive 1 " ■ ■•'' “- ’ 1 ■jj
' , -U'l' o’.d
of slteh < ’ ’
aster —a bankrupt at? communi-
ty, and a foreign debt hanging over the commu
nity, of not far from two hundred millions,for
which there is little or nothing to show. As
the Whigs have been in power in the General
Government but for one month, and but for short
periods in any of the deeply indebted States,
they cannot fairly be charged with participation
■n this mismanagement.
“It is not to be disguised that the deplorable
condition of the country may be almost exclu
sively traced to erroi s and mismanagement of
Government. It cannot be charged either to
the Constitution or the dispensations of Provi
dence. On the contrary, His dispensation has
not only been kini, but munificent, in abundant
harvest and almost universal health, while to
the violation or neglect ofthe provisions of the
constitution, may be traced most ot the evils
that have befallen us. We, then, must mainly
look ibr their remedy to the correction of the er
rors ot the Government, and the reformation ol
its abuses, and for that, to the election of a Pres
ident, without whose lead, and enlightened and
hearty co-operation, there can be no thorough
and radical reform, or essential change in tne
course qf Government, as experience has abun
dantly proved. Wh t this lead and co-o; era
tion will be in the coining administration, de
pends on the individual to be elected, and that,
as far as the party is concerned, on theepndid
ate to be nominated; and hence, at this time,
the great importance of making the proper se
lection.”
For the Chronicle <p Sentinel.
Mb. Editob—ln your paper of the fib inst.,
in speaking ofthe trial of W. H. Platt, you say
that it is due the community that the officers ol
Court, to whom the duty of summoning tales
men is specially confided, should answer the
questions which are almost hourly asked
“ Who summoned that jury?—how were they
summoned?—and were they empannelled, par
ticular! v the first panel, in the order in which
they were summoned?”
While protesting, as I do, against what 1 have
reason to think unjust denunciation ol the jur
ors, witnesses, counsel, and other officers of
Court, who were brought before the public in
the discharge of their respective duties in this
important case, I distinguish between “ this
community” and those of its members who have
indulged in unmeasured abuse ol men, whom I
feel myself bound to consider innocent until
bey are proven to be guilty. To t..e ‘feomntu
nTty7“ "nr m tLo
Court, by whose bailifs the tales jurors were
summoned, in the case of the State against Platt,
I cheerfully furnish a plain statement of the
facts connected with the summoning of the jur
ors, which may enable you and others fully to
investigate the affair, and substitute proof Ibr
mere assertion. For myself. I have nothing to
tear from those who have been so lavish ofthe
latter, and have produced so little of the former.
The facts are simply these:—On Tuesday,
the 13th of June, after it had been agreed that
the case of Platt should be called up on the fol
lowing Thursday, I was instructed by the pre
siding Judge to adopt all necessary measures
for summoning for that day as many petitjurors
as possible. In accordance with these instruc
tions, I ordered nine bailifls (four in town and
five in the country.) to summon every petit jur
or they could find. The summoning officers
were, in the town Bailiffs Lindsay, Tant, Ran
dall and Peay ; in the country, Bailiffs Ogg,
Palmer, Collins, Dease and Seago. Os trie
twenty-lbur jurors on the regular panel, there
were, as is but too commonly the case, only ten
in attendance on Monday, when their term of
service commenced, and the Court, as usual,
ordered the panel ot twenty-tour to be made up
by talesmen—the jurors then standing, ten of
the regular panel, and fourteen talesmen.
Being much engaged in other business, the
duty of summoning devolved principally upon
ray sub-officers, until Friday, when 1 summon
ed about se.'enty persons. The retuins ofthe
summoning officers ol the city were firs: made,
and as made, the names of the jurors were
placed on my general list in ihe order in which
they were returned. On Thursday, (the day ol
the trial,) ofthe twenty-four jutors inservice
the previous days only twenty appeared. These
jurors of the regular panel, ana talesmen were
(as would have been the whole twenty-four of
the regular panel, il present,) p laced on the fust
list of the forty-eight presented to the Court.—
This accounts for twenty of the number. Os
the remaining twenty-eight, according to my
present recollection, two ot the jurors (John
Evans and William Ingram) were summoned
by mvself, and ofthe twenty-five or six taken in
their order, from the return of Bailiff Tant, his
bein s the first list returned to. me. The com
pletion <f the first list,, which seeffis lo excite
the chief interest, and to which your inquiry
partici.li.i !y points, is, fortunately, from the very
f„-t of 1. . first, moreelisiincllv impressed
upon my memory than that ot. any ol the
others. The list referred to was first in the or
der of rotation, because it was first returned;
any other list would have been so used, il so
returned. The next returned was the next pre
sented, and so of the list throughout, including
both town and country lists. Ol the first panel
so formed, thirteen were found competent, thir
ty-five had formed and expressed an opinion.
Now, it seems to me, that one ot the first steps
of tjje accusers in this case is, to ascertain dis
tineily how many of these thirty-five had formed
and expressed opinions favorable to the prison
er. If, as I suspect, from the s rong excitement
against him, the whole or a very great majority
had formed and expressed opinions unfavorable
to him, this circumstance alone ought to go far
towards vindicating the summoning officers.—
Whatever might be the result of this investiga
tion, however, I do not feel myself in any way
interested in it. It is quite possible that in
competent jurors may have thrown themselves,
or been by others thrown in the way of the offi
cers; that suchthings were done, or attempted,
is, I think, perfectly evident from the testimony
of the witness John Heary; but am I or my
officers responsible tor this ? Let those jurors,
and. those who put them forward, answwfoi
their own sins. WM. H.’MAHARREY,

The propositions from Santa Anna for the

British brig Scylla, which arrived here on d.e

nature or purport is the following, fr.i .i t fife

editor says:

Again the editor of the Telegraph says —and
there seerns to be a prophetic plausibility in his
premises—again he says:
“It needs but the dullest intellect to perceive
that Mexico will nol relinquish her claims to
the ternti ty west of the Nueces without a vio

Whether, therefore, the armistice will result in
a final peace, and a full rec--yuiti. u ol tli-: inde

matters at present veiled in ~ipl inat: mystery.
