THURSDAY, AUGUST 5, 1841.
FOR GOV Ell A Oil,
WILLIAM C. DAWSON.
OAr Nothing shows more plainly the ot
ter desperation of the Loco foeo faction,
than the miserable materials out of which
they attempt to manufacture political capi
tal. Their hopes of the re-election of Gov.
McDonald, are at present based upon his
famous Relief scheme—a scheme, which,
if carried into effect, would be ruinous to
the Ltato, and so preposterous, that the in
telligent men of their own party, when hon
it enough to declare their true sentiments,
‘acknowledge its impracticability; and it
exemplifies the power of party discipline,
that of all their Journals not one dares to
declare itself opposed to the humbug, out
pretend sincerely to support it, not, it is true,
by sound and rational argument, but by
the poorest of slang and sophistry.
That they are driven to the most desper
ate shifts, is shown hy the puny attacks
they make occasionally upon the measures
and men of their opponents. They watch ;
carefully every vote and movement of our
Congressional Delegation, and if any thing
occurs which can, by any possibility,be dis
torted into an accusation against them,
forthwith, the mole-hill becomes a moun
tain, and it is heralded with a most astound
ing flourish of trumpets throughout the
length and breadth of the land. Mr. Daw
son is the most especial object of their
watchfulness. One week they blame him
for not getting compensation allowed to the
Georgia Volunteers, next they blame him
because that good democrat, Mr. Poinsett,
makes an abusive report on the subject
which they ignorantly ascribe to Mr. Bell
“and Mr. Dawson ! A law is passed grant- j
ing the compensation they are so clamor- j
our for; forthwith, they cry, Mr. Dawson is
trying to gain credit with “the boys!’’ Is
that gentleman accidentally absent from
his seat when a vote is taken in the House
of Representatives ? Then they abuse him
for attempting to evade responsibility, cau
tiously abstaining to inform their readers
that Mr. D. desired his vote upon important
questions, to be recorded whenever he hap
pened to be absent at the time the vote was
taken, blow hopeless must a party be that
endeavors by such frivolous charges, to
gull the people into the support of them
selves and their measures !
Congressional.
The Fiscal Bank Bill passed the Senate
on the 28th, after the following amendment
had been proposed hy Mr. Clay and ac- i
ccpted :
“ And the said directors may also estab
lish one or more competent offices of dis
count and deposite yt any territory or dis
trict of the United States, and in any State,
with the assent of such State ; and when
established, the said office or offices shall
not be removed or withdrawn hy the said
directors prior to the expiration of the char
ter, without the previous assent of Congress;
Provided, in respect to any Stale which
shall not, at the first session of the Legisla
ture thereof, held after the passage of this
act, hy resolution or other usual legislative
proceeding, unconditionally assent or dis
sent to the establishment to such office or
offices within it, the assent of the said State
shall hereafter be presumed ; and provided
nevertheless, that when it shall become ne
cessary and proper for carrying into exe
cution any of the powers granted in the
Constitution, to establish an office or offices
in any of the States whatever, and the es
tablishment whereof shall be directed by
law, it shall be the duty of the said direc
tors to establish such office or offices accor
dingly.”
We. don’t see Mr. Cuthbcrt’s name a
mong the Yeas or Nays on the final pas
sage ; the democracy who arc so angry
•with Mr. Dawson for leaving his seat m the
House for a moment, ought to be doubly
indignant with Mr. Cuthbert who it appears
was absent when the most important bill of
the session was passed. The following are
the Yeas and Nays on the passage of the
bill :
YEAS.—Messrs. Barrow, Bates, Bayard, Ber
rien, Choate, Clay, of Ky., Dixon, Evans, Gra
*"harn, Henderson, Huntington, Kerr, Mangum,
Merrick, Miller, Morchead, Phelps, Porter, Pren
tice, Preston, Simmons, Smith, of ind., Southard,
Talimadgc, White, and Woodbridge—2o.
NAYS.—Messrs. Alien, Archer, Benton, Bu
chanan, Calhoun, Clay, of Ala., Fulton, King,
Linn, Mcßoaerts, Mouton, Nicholson, Pierce,
Hives, Sevier, Smith, of Conn., Sturgeon, Tap
pan|{Walker, Williams, Woodbury, Wright and
Young-—23.
OO” The Constitutionalist says, that Gov.
McDonald proposed his Relief Measure be
cause he “ felt for the people.”
This is anew discovery, for it has gen
erally been supposed the Governor felt ou
-1 v for office.
0-.!.'’ V.’e copy tho following deserved
. compliment to Mr. Nisbet, from the Boston
Atlas, premising that papers of both parlies
j throughout the country speak in terms of j
the highest approbation of Mix ll’s. conduct j
in the collision with Mr. Wise :
“ It will be seen by a letter from our j
. \\ ..shim ton correspondent, Mr. Wise has \
again been engaged in a controversy that
will redound very little to his credit either
for courtesy or the proper feelings of gen
tlemanly propriety. Ilia personal attack
upon a gentleman so unimpeachable in ev
ery respect as Mr. Nisbet, of Georgia, so
sound and true a Whig, and unexceptiona
ble in the private walks of life, will trial to
i sink him far lower than ever in the esliina
| lion of the public, while Mr. NcsLit will on
j ly be the more highly esteemed since it is
: his good fortune to be obnoxious to one so
| radically wrong on every point as Ih nry A.
Wise. Mr. Nisbet, though naturally as
unobtrusive, as modest and as amiable a
man as can be found in the House, we are
glad to perceive, repelled the unjustifiable j
assault with a becoming spirit that his as
sailant probably littloanticipated frame one i
so unpretending in his character.
From the letter of the New York corrcs.
pondent of tiie National Intelligencer ofthe
30th u!t. we extract tho following :
“The indebted Slates,’ with the exception
of Indiana, have all made arrangements to
meet tho interest money which tails due to
morrow.
“Georgia also has promptly met her in
terest money, and reduced the amount of
tire principal of her debt."’
It must be peculiarly gratifying to all,
I who have any regard for tiro credit and
I character of the State, to learn that she is
j promptly meeting her engagements, and to 1
;dm late “reform Legislature, ’’ as it is slice- j
1 ringly called hy our opponents, are wo in- I
I debted for tho enactment of the law setting j
apart a fund for tin: payment ofthe public ;
debt. If any one should doubt this we re- •
for him to pages 407-3 of tho Journal of the
House of Representatives, and lie will there
see from what party the hill to set apart
that fund proceeded ; and by what party
it was sustained. Ho will th u see, that
of those who voted in favor of tho bill 72
were Harrison and 11 Van Burcn men,
and of those who voted against it 55 were
Van Burcn men, and 11 Harrison men.
T ire debt was contracted by the Van Bu
rin party when in power, and we have seen
them refusing to make provisions for tiie
payment ofthe interest and principal ofthe
money which they authorized the State to
borrow. Will it be safe again to trust the
credit and character of the State in the
| hands of that party?— Macon Messenger.
The National Intelligencer of Monday
says : —From the present indications, this
Session of Congress bids fair to be the most
important one held within fifty years, ex
cepting perhaps the Session ot’lßll-T2.
The Bankrupt Bill, which passed the
S -nate on Saturday, and which will pass
now or never (during our day) in the House
of Representatives, is one added to the list
of great measures in progress, and which it
is hoped will be consummated during the
Session. We will not call it a Whig meas
ure, though twenty two of the twenty-six
voti s in its favor were given by the Whigs
whi Ist they gave only lour votes against it.
We would rather regard it as a measure of
humanity and enlightened legislation, for
which we are indebted to the progress of
liberal principles, and the gradual emanci
pation ofthe world from black-lcttcr preju
dices, than as owing to any purpose or in
i Hut nee connected with party. That the bill
! will pass the House of Representatives we
j cannot venture to predict. All that we
can say is, that it goes before that body un
der auspices favorable to its passage.
That a Fiscal Bank will bo established
during the present Session of Congress, we
have not for some time entertained a doubt.
Differences of opinion as to the details of
the me asure must and will give way before i
the popularity of the principle; of which j
whatever doubt may have existed when
Congress met must be dissipated by the ve
ry strong and unequivocal expressions of
public sentiment from every quarter in fa
vor of tile measure.
If the fate of other pending measures i
were ascertain in our belief as that of the j
Bank question, we should feel that Con-I
gress will at this session have accomplished
more for the good of the country than tin.
most sanguine among the Whigs could have
expected when they came together.”
Mr. Y’an Buren is now enjoying elegant
leisure at his farm on the Hudson, 2 miles
from the village of Kinderhook. We noti
ced a certificate of his in a New-York pa
per the other day, in which he recommend
ed to a discriminating public an “extension
sofa,” of which he hud purchased three !
No doubt this couch is much more comfort
able than the Procrustes bed, on which he
has been stretched for the last four years.

Weights and Measures. —A report from
the superintendent of standard weights and
measures has been communicated to Con
gress by the Secretary of the Treasury,
announcing the completion of the final se
i ries, (the ounce weights.) The sets of
ounce weights for the States, begin with the
ten ounce weight, and go down, decimallv
subdivided, to the one ten thousandths of
the ounce. A number of standard yards,
sufficient for all the states and for some of
the custom houses, were completed last
year.
A Long Lived Profession. —The Judges
of New England have been remarkable for
their ages and length ofjudiciul tenure. —
Judge Sewell, the first District Judge of
Maine, hold the office 29 years, and did not
retire until he was 83 years old. Judge
Howell, of Rhode Island, died in office at
the age of 77, in 18.2-1. Judge Sherburne,
of New Hampshire, held the office a num
! ber of years, and died at a rite “!?o. Judge
\ Faine, of Vt., and Judge Da\ is ns we have
1 seen, have been on the bench more titan 40
years, and are past tJO years of ago. It
! may also ho added as a singular fact, that
I during 52 years of tho Government, there
I have been in Mas.cu husotts but two District
I Judges, viz:—Lowell and Davis; and in
j Maine but three, Sewell, Parris and Ware ;
and only two dorks, viz: Henry Sewall,
now living at Augusta at a very advanced
age, who held theotlii 30 years ; and Mr.
Mussoy, the present incumbent, who has
held it 22 years. Similar investigations in
other quarters might establish similar re
sults. There is something in tho dryness
ofthe law which appears to he favorable to
u long existence.— Ledgi r
From the New Orleans Advertiser, July 23d.
FLA 11FUL INSURRECTION DISCOV
ERED.
A day or two ago wo predicted that ar.
i insurrection of the negroes was on loot in
this Stale, and that tho recent outbreaks
of their insolence could he accounted for on
no other principle.
Hardly had the prediction time to coo!,
when tho nows of a fortunate discovery of
an extensive insurrection ofthe slaves thro’-
out the state of Mississippi, counts upon
us, to teach us our foolishness and unwari- j
ness.
Capt. Laurent, of tho steamboat Clipper
No. l, with whom we conversed yesterday,
gives us the following information, upon
which, every reliance may he placed, for
lie is a gentleman unused to the cultivation
of the imagination, a gift so common now-a
day among newsmongers.
“ The overseer of It. Barrow, in West
j Feliciana, ten miles from Bayou Sara vil
j lage, hy mere chance, discovered that sotne
! thing was wrong, and found to his horror,
that on tin- firs; day of August, a universal
; rising of the -slaves throughout Louisiana
j and Mississippi, was to take place, and that
I no quarter was to be given to any white
| inaii, woman, or child. All were to be
j murdered without mercy.
“ Forthwith this vigilant overseer com
municated tiie facts which lie had learned,
I to tin authorities at Bayou Sara, and in a
short time, twenty ofthe ringleaders arid a
white man, employed on Mr. Barrow’s
plantation, were to be tried on Wednesday.
Fifty chiefs have been imprisoned at Wood
ville. At Point Coupee the alarm was ve
ry great, and the citizens were under arms.
A large meeting of negroes had been dis
persed near Dr. Beaumonts plantation, in
west Baton Rouge. Hundreds of slaves
have absconded since the explosion of their
nefarous scheme.
The statements of negroes taken up at
different points, all go to confirm the plot,
its extent and its barbarity.
The white man arrested, says the negroes
let him into the secret oftheir scheme, but
ho did not confer with them, or encourage
them. He has been set n frequently going
to their quarters at night.
When will we wake up from our
danger? Must the volcano burst out and
overwhelm us, before we can be aroused to
a proper sense of our situation ?
Measures, prompt measures must beta
ken to protect ourselves, to drive the free ne
groes from among us, and to bring every
suspicious white man up to the bar of jus
tice.
The right to emancipate the negro must
b taken away from every citizen, unless he
shall send him away out of the country.
IMPUDENCE PUNISHED.
Never was a piece of impudence more
beautifully rewarded than yesterday, in a
case which came under our especial obser
! vation. We record it for the benefit of the
j rising generation, as well us for the benefit
of tin; generation which lias already risen
for a neater rebuke was never yet adminis
tered since the adoption ofthe federal con
stitution. About six o’clock last evening,
two bucks, well known about town for their
very “free and easy” deportment were seen
strolling upon St. Charles street near Tivo
jlj Circle. They were evidently in search
j • • - j
of an adventure, if one could be permitted
to judge from the manner with which they
surveyed every house they passed, as well
as every person they met, females especi
ally. The conclusion to which wc arrived
was that they had managed at the dinner ta
bic to deposite an extra quantity of wine
| where Ton: Moor (poor Paddy Power—“Do
I you sec that vest, Mr. Wadt ?”) kept his j
j heart, videlicet, beneath their vests. At
length they met a lady who seemed to sus
pect, before shi icachcd them, that their
object was to gaze into her face, and as she
approached them she discovered something
wonderfully interesting upon the opposite
side of the street, which she had not fairly
surveyed until the gentlemcn(?) had passed
her.
“ I say, Jack,” said one of them with a
genteel hiccough, “did you see her face?”
“ No I didn’t, did you ?”
“ No, but I should like to, devilish we’ll; j
shouldn’t you ? llow like a Juno she steps
oit. and what a beautifully shaped woman
| she is, isn’t she ?”
“ Fine, upon my soul—l’m bound to see
her face, by Jove ; there’s nothing like
boldness, I’ll go and show her my handkor- i
chief arid ask her if she han’t dropped it.’
“ Capital ! take mine, it’s a better one,
cost me seventy-five dollars a dozen.- it
hasn’t been taken from my pocket before.
Jack took the nicely folded and perfumed
handkerchief, and hastened after the lady,
now nearly a square in advance.
“ I beg your pardon, madam,” said Jack
hat oil) “ I think you dropped this.”
The lady cast upon him a glance from a
pair of the keenest black eyes in the worrld
dropped a half courtesy, took the handker
chief, and, with a freezing “thank you,sir,”
walked quietly-upon her way. The smile
so exquisitely composed, which rested upon
her lips as she tripped down street, was a
perfect diaphragm convulse". The poor
beau stood for a moment as though thunder
struck ; but a most hearty and unaffected
haw ! lane ! haw ‘. from a rough fellow, who
stood gazing over the pailing, and had wit
nessed the entire operation, recalled him
;to his sen, s. He joined his companion
and they hastily moved away,
j “ Well, dam me,” exclaimed Jack, “that
i was jus! the coolest thing / ever did hour of,

j Awful Effects of Intemperance. —A most
i horrible accident occurred last week in the
j county o! Two Mountains, Lower Canada;
j a man while in a state of intoxication, hav-
I ing (alien into a kettle of boiling potash,
| and been completely dissolved. Search
j was made for his body, but not the least

Progress of Economy. —The following
Land Offices have been discontinued under j
the provisions of the act of Congress of 12th j
June, 1840, viz—Marietta, Zanesville, Steu- j

and the office at Monroe, in Michigan.

turn which yields them from a hundred to j

John Randolph's Will. Again. —The late
John Randolph, by his w ills, (the one which
was established, as between the various le
gatees claiming under all the wills found)
emancipated all his slaves, some three or
four hundred, whose labor is said to be
worth •$ 10,0()0i year. It is now said that
the execution of this will is suspended, be
cause, Mr. Beverly Tucker, who was not a
party to that contest, now comes forward as
heir at law, to overset all wills ; and that
he is now < ngaged in endeavoring to effect
this object by a suit in chancery; tho
slaves, meantime remaining, we presume
as slaves, and in custody ofthe law.
Fredericl: County /lank Robbery. —The
Governor of Maryland has issued a procla
mation offeringonc thousand dollars reward
for the discovery of the robbers of the Fred
erick County Bank, and a free pardon to
any one implicated in the robbery, who will
make such disclosures as may ho lead to
the arrest and conviction of his associates.

Shower of Fishes. —Major Harriot wit- 1
ncssed a shower of fishes in the Madras i
Presidency, 1 at. 13. N., about7o years a- j
go. They fell upon the troops during their j
march in a violent storm, and they furnish
ed a greatful additon to their rations. Ma- !
ny similar phenomena have been witnessed j
since that period.
Grain Shower. —Col. Skyes describes, j
before the British Association, a singular
shower of grain during a storin, March 24. j
1840, at Ragket, in Kattywar, a Peninsula
in Hindostan, lat. 22 N. The grain fell
upon the town, and a considerable extent j
of country around it. Capt. Aston, who I
collected a quantity of the grain, forwarded
samples of it, which were exhibited. It
differs from any variety known to the na
tives.
Artesian Boring at Paris. —An artesian !
vvcdl has been sunk in the grounds of a j
slaughter house on one of the highest points
in Paris, near the Barriere dc Grenclle.
Atthedebthof 1800 feet and below the
chalk, a torrent of water spouted up thirty
feet above the surface which height it main
tains. The water is very pure, and its
temperature at the bottom is 83 degrees
Fahrenheit; which confirms the theory ol
central heat, giving 1 degree for 50 feet of
discent, as usually observed. At the same
rate boiling water would be found at two
miles in depth full ignition of rocks at ton
miles and fusion at 200 miles.
The bore in this well is over 18 inches
wide at top, and over 7 inches at bottom,
and it is lined with a metallic tube. The
discharge is about three cubic yards per
minute.
’Tvvas a lovely evening—nature was
hushed in repose—naught was heard todis
turb the stillness of the night-the gentle ze
phyrs fanned the earth from the sunny
South to the bleak regions of the North ;
when my dear Irena, arrayed in all her
beauty and loveliness, came bounding like
a fawn in front of her father’s splendid
mansion ; she stopped, her head bent as il
in the act of listening ; a soft note ol music
held her enraptured spirit in an ccstacy of
bliss.
Her brain reeled, her senses were dumb,
it seemed as if she was wandering in imag
ination, to that land were blest spirits will
soon meet, to sing the never ending song of
redeeming love—when with one wild hound
as if the shaft of death had been sent with
unerring certainty, she screamed aloud,
“Get out, you darned old sow, rooting up
all our garden.”
Embarrassing Mode of Description. —It
! may be well to put young persons on their
! guard against adopting one form of expres
sion, which more frequently perhaps than
I any other leads to hesitation and absurdity,
: oc which arises from attempting comparisons
: before the object of comparison is decided
upon. Instead of convenient descriptions
—very high, very low, extremely rapid rc
-1 markably 9 beautiful, &c. vre hear, Oh !it
i was as high as—any tiling. The moment
j the little word as is’ uttered on each side
■ fan adiecli - - thend clu and be It was

: could ho. These (in another form of
i speech) exaggerations are sometimes resor
j ted to for relief: I ran like—lightning ; he
j roared like—thunder ; it ruined—eats and
dogs; I was tiled to death. Yet these ab
surdities are less embarrassing to thespea
! kor than the comparisons first mentioned.
It at once hardness and adamant ho thought j
of; a minute flame and a glowworm ; a
welcome stranger and the rising sun ; or, |
in more familiar matters, roughness and a j
file; smoothness and glass, Sec. ; cornpari- j
son may be very easily and sometimes very ■
expressively made. But hurrying into as
is another affair. The exquisite declared j
! that soda water poured out for Inin was as i
ffat its —as flat as—u board ! A lady oont
! plimenting Iter hostess at tea-table, ex- j
claimed that actually the coffee was so fine
it was ns clear as—a bell ! Tints a clear
ness of effect upon the ear was applied to a
description of tiie eye. And a similar ah- [
surdity was committed by the lover eulo
gizing to his mistress the brilliance of the I
moon, which made the evening as light as j
really us light as—a cork !
ONE HOUR SPEECHES.
The Philadelphia North American has
tho following pleasant remarks upon the
one hour speech rule, in the House of Rep
-1 resent at ives :
“Congressional eloquence is said to have
improved vastly by the adoption of the ‘one
hour’ rule. It is attended with one vexa
tious thing. Sublimated orators are bald
ly -ware of the expiration of the hour, and
as members sit with watch i't hand, the elo
quent speaker is often choked off’ in the
midst of his ecstatic rhapsodies. Some
times, when at the very top of his loftiest
flights, when the steam of eloquence is at
the highest pressure, the hour expires, and
ho is dropped by his colleagues as quick as
a sportsman drops a plover. Business goes
ahead promptly, even if some pathos is lost,
and the orators from their sublime heights,
are suddenly brought down to a ridiculous
ly low elevation.”
STEAM BRIDGE.
The St. Louis Argus describes the fol
lowing : “ A striking use ofthe steam en
gine has been adopted at Portsmouth, Mis
souri. It is a floating bridge, seventy feet
long, and sixty feet wide, impelled by two
engines of twenty horse power, and making
the passage (2,200 feet) at tho speed of a- :
bout 350 feet a minute. The bridge draws, j
with all its machinery, but two feet. This !
capital invention will naturally supersede I
the awkward contrivances of bridges of ;
boats on the great European rivers, and will
not improbably obviate the formidable ex- t
penss of building, and must greatly facili- |
tate communication in colonies and new
settlements in every part ofthe world.”
FRANKLIN’S TOAST.
Long after Washington’s victories over j
1 the French and English had made his name ‘
i familiar all over Europe, Dr. Franklin i
j chanced to dine with the English and j
| French Ambassadors when as nearly as 1 1
| can recollect the words, the following toasts j
were drank : By the British Ambassador, 1
! ‘England—the sun whose beams enlighten
! and fructify, the remotest corners of the
| earth.’ The French Ambassador, glowing
j with national pride drank, ‘ France—the
| moon, whose mild, steady and cheering
rays are the delight of all nations : conso
j ling them in darkness, making their dreari
j ness beautiful. Dr. Franklin then arose
! with his usual dignified simplicity, said !
George Washington—the Joshua who com- j
manded the sun and moon to stand still and
they obeyed him.
\ RELIC
There was left at our office on Monday,
Ia curious and interesting relic of the Revo
lutionary war. It is a large powder Horn,
found last week, two or three feet under
ground, in excavating a grave in the bury
ing ground attached to the Lutheran church j
of this place. The horn is ol’ large size, I
and lias engraved upon it, very neatly, a j
number of very interesting historical devi- ;
ces, in a singular state of preservation.— !
For instance, we find llic following—“Ebe- i
nezar Gray, his Horn, made at Cambridge,
1775.” Then immediately under, w ithin
a separate border, there is this : “ Made
by William Hovey, of Mansfield.” Beside,
there is a map comprising Boston, Charles,
town, Bunker Hill, Roxbury, Ac. ‘Deluding
the British shipping in the harbor, the sev
! oral forts on Bunker-hill, and neighbor
hood of Boston, numbered and designated,
&e. The whole forming a curious and !
striking relic of one of the most excitingand
important periods in American history.—
We have no doubt but that the horn was ci- |
thcr lost at the battle of Germantown,or was ;
buried with its patriotic owner who perish- |
ed in that sanguinary struggle.— German- \

A SINGULAR SERMON.
Fourgentlemcn and an old minister were
assailed on the highway by three robbers,
who demanded and took possession of all ;
their funds. The old minister pleaded ve- j
ry hard to be allowed a little money, as lie I
was on his way to pay a bill in London.— 1
The highwaymen, asour authority informs i
| us, “being generous fellows, gave him all
his money back again, on condition ot his j
preaching.” Accordingly they retired a ;
little distance from the highway, and the
i minister addressed them as follows :
‘•Gentlemen—You arc the most like the
apostles of any men in the world, for they’
were wanderers upon the earth, and so arc
you ; they had neither lands nor tenements
that they could call their own ; neither, as
I presume have you. They were despised
j of'all, hut those of their own profession;
j and so, I believe, are you. ‘i hey were
| unalterably fixed in the principles they pro
j tessed ; and I dare swear so arc you.—
They wcrcofteii hurried into jads and pris
j ons,were persecuted by the people, and en
j Jared <r re at hardships ; all of which suffer,
i intr-s. I presume have been undergone by
you. Tin :r profession brought them all
i to untimely deaths ; and if you continue in
your course, so will yours bring you 1 But
I in this point, beloved, you differ mightily :
I for tho apostles ascended from the tree into
heaven where I am afraid, you will never
I come ; but as their deaths were com pi nsu
ted with eternal glory, yours will be rewar
j tied with eternal shame and misery, utiles;
you mend your manners.”
