ter-spirit of his Administration.) Judgo Porter likewise possesses talent, ami lining gifted with a decided facility of principle, will make a good Tyler man. For this promotion, Gov. Porter is to manaevre the Porter, Johnson and Cass cliques of Penn sylypnia into the support of John Tyler for President and David li. Porter, for Vice President! It won’t work, any how. Mr. Tyler is uniformly unfortunate in attrac ting to his standard only those who have Iradod out their influence and character.— Gov. Porter is the most unpopular and de tested man in Pennsylvania, and would sink ont of soundings a far stronger leader than John Tyler. There are to be Various Diplomatic Chan ges effected about the same time. Mr. Wise, who has no look for a re-election to Congress demands an Embassy, for which his temper and career prove him so pecu liarly fitted. It is supposed that the Mis sion to France, so long open, will be given him ; though other accounts say that Mr. Wheaton will probably be transferred from Berlin to Paris, and some raw hand sent to Prussia in his stead. This course would be so clearly proper and judicious, that we do not think it will bo pursued bytiur pre sent rulers. Mr. Jenifer will probably be recalled from Austria to make room ful some patriotic Guardsman who has sacri ficed himself with his constituents in fol- ! flowing John Tyler. Mr. Proffitt isespeci- homeless and shelterless, and must nVve something—he will take a fat Consul slfip rather than nothing. His case cannot bl- overlooked. ( —Now, while wo have no objection to Mr. Tyler’s arranging and manoeuvring his slender forces as he may think proper, and while wc know that every Whig re moved by him from office adds many votes to the Whig columns, we must not suffer this occasion to pass without entering our earnest Protest against the President’s post ponement of important. Nominations until after the Senate has adjourned, so as to ren der them in effect absolute, contrary to the Constitutional requirementthatthe appoint ments shall be made “by and with the, con sent of Senate.” To hold a Cabinet to gether till Congress adjourns, and then re model it at the Executive pleasure, is a fraudulent evasion of this requisition ; but to keep open such a place as the Frencli k Embassy for months, in order to fill it un controlled by the Senate, is an outrage still more, flagrant. We do not hope that these considerations will have any weight with John Tyler, but are not the less desirous to stand on record as maintaining a funda mental Whig principle in these days of treachery & tergiversation.-A’. Y. Tribune. Mr. Arnold’s Retrenchment Bill, which has passed the House, will, should it pass the Senate (of which there appears to be some doubt,) effects a very great reduction in the expenses of government. Its provi sions are as follows: The pay of members of Congress is fixed thus: For the first five months of any session, $8 per day. For the ensuing two months, (ifCongress shall be so long in session,) $0 per day. For the time Congress shall reman in session after the first seven months, $4 per day. Members are to be paid only when in ac tual attendance upon their respective Hou ses ; unless their absence be occasioned by sickness of themselves or their families, or by leave of either House. The mileage is fixed a* $4 for every 20 milesof travel. Distances are to be corn puled according to the Post Office book, reckoning from the post office nearest the residence of each member by the usual rout to the seat of Government. Mileage is not to be allowed unless members have actu ally travelled the distance charged in their accounts. All officers and agents of the .Government who areallowed travelling ex penses are subjected to similar regulations. The salaries of various other officers of the United States, whose pay is not protec ted by the Constitution—such, for instance, as the President and the Judges—are also brought down. Officers in the civil and military departments (army and navy in cluded) of the Government, whose salary now exceeds $3,000, are reduced 20 per cent on their present pay. Officers and a gents receivingsalaries ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 are reduced 12£ per cent on ilieir present pay. No reduction, however, is to bring down the salary of any one’ now re ceiving more than SI,OOO below that sum. Diplomatic agents serving aboad are ex empted from the reduction ; also, all per sons whose salaries are now not more than SI,OOO per annum. The offices of Recorder and Solicitor of the General Land Office u. e abolished. Counterfeits. —Within the last week or two we have seen a number of counterfeit one dollar bills, purporting to be upon the Bank of the State of South Carolina, of the -aid omission. The paper is very bad, and the engraving coarse and bungling. Where they are examined by those familiar with the genuine bills, the counterfeit is easily detected ; but we understand a great many were in circulation before the cheat was discovered. Greenville Mountaineer. Expenses of the late contest- in Yorkshire, England. —A paragraph appears in the Leeds papers to the effect that Miss Rhodes, of the Stafford’s Arms Hotel, Wakefield, filled as many as 800 glasses of btandy during the election for the office of register, and charged them to the committee acting on behalf of the Hon. Arthur Lascelles.— The statement is wide of the mark by sev eral thousands; and 8,000 wpuld be much nearer the truth. The gross amount of Miss Rhodes’ charge to the committee is £2,170. Mr. Hodson’s expenses fall short of £4,000. Mi. Lascelles will hardly be free, it is said, for £5,500 or £6,000. Both parties are paying off as fast as the bills can be got in ; and we hear of no grumbling on Either side in regard to deductions from the ‘e.hargq? in the bills. York Conran A 1 From the National Intelligencer. PROCEEDINGS OF A MEETING OF THE WHIG MEMBERS OF CON GRESS. At a meeting of the Whig Members of tho Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, held in the Seriate Cham ber on Saturday evening, the 18th Februa ry, 1843, for the purpose of considering tho propriety of holding a National Convention to nominate candidates to be supported by the Whig Party at the next election of Pro sident und Vice-President of tho United States, Richard H. Bayard, of Delaware, was called to the Chair, and Alexander 11. H. Stuart, of Virginia, and John C. Clark, of New-York, were appointed Secretaries. Mr. Tallmudge, of New-York, on behalf of a joint committee appointed at a previous meeting, to consider what measures should be adopted, made a report, which, huving been discussed and amended, was unani mously adopted. The report is in the fol lowing words, viz : “ Whereas the expediency of holding a National Convention for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President has been suggested by the Whigs in vari ous parts of the Union : anti it having been referred by them to the Whig Members of Congress to designate the time and place of holding said Convention, therefore “ Resolved, That the Whig Members of Congress, concurring in the expediency of the proposed Convention, and yielding to the wishes expressed that they should de signate the time and place, do respectfully recommend that a Whig National Conven tion for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States be held at tho city of Baltimore on Wednesday, the 3d day of May, 1844 ; and that the said Convention he composed of Delegates from the respective States equal to the number of Senators and Representa tives of each State in the Congress of the United Slates.’’ On motion of Mr. Underwood, of Ken tucky, it was “Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting he signed by the Chairman and Secretaries, and published in the National Intelligencer and other Whig papers.” RICHARD H.

We learn that a negro man was tried in Eatonton, Putnam county, on Saturday last for the crime of murder. He killed his master, Mr. Benjamin Todd, a worthy citi zen of that county, while they were ou‘ in the fields at work, by cutting him on the head, with an axe. Col. Wingfield, by ap pointment of the Court, conducted the de fence. The prosecuting counsel was Col. Ashurst. The verdict returned by t! Ju ry, was “guilty of murder,” and the crim inal was sentenced to be hung on Saturday next. We learn that he has acknowledged the killing of his master, because of an at tempt which the latter made to chastise him. Georgia Journal. Norfolk, Feb. 18. Distressing Occurrence. —A letter from a gentleman at Old Point, dated Feb. 14, says, “A serious accident occurred here yesterday afternoon—while firing some 18 pounders at a target, one of them bursted, a piece of which struck a Sergeant of the Ordnance Department, cutting him com pletely in two. His head and shoulders striking Capt. Huger, knocked him down ; a Lieutenant and five or six men were knocked down by the concussion, but fortu nately no other person than the Sergeant was injured?’ Strange Animal Remains in Mississippi. —The Free Trade, at Natchez, states that Dr. Dickinson has obtained, by digging in to the side of a ravine, somewhere on Pine Ridge, in that country, the skeleton of the most singular of all the animals ever known known to comparative anatomists-a perfect sui generis. It is not so remarkable for size as for the singularity of the shape and the great strength which it must have pos sessed, from the formation of tho limbs, and the enormous size of the joints and cavities which were supplied with muscles. Its head has no cavities in which there are any traces of eyes communicating with the brain.

FOR THE NEWS & PLANTERS’ GAZETTE. Important Decision for Tax Pai/ers. The State of Georgia, “j vs. Mark A. Lane, Def’t. in Exocu- J tion, and Willis &. Hester, I Claimants. J Claim in Wilkes Superior Court, February Term, 1843. The facts in this case were few, simple, undisputed and as follows : Mark A. Lane, a merchant of considerable notoriety, fail ed in business on the 3d day of January, 1842, and on the same day sold to particu lar favorite creditors, hip stock of goods then on hand, and these purchasers sold to the claimants soon afterwards. Sometime in the year 1842, when called on by the Receiver ofTax Returns, Lane rendered in under oatli as required ’by law, the goods which he had on the Ist day of Jan. 1842, and sold on the 3d. Mark A. Lane being entered insolvent, the Tax Collector levied on the goods, sold by Lane, for the tax which would have been paid on the goods had they remained Lane’s. Then Willis & Hester claimed them and the case came up for ar gument as above stated, Mr. A. Pope, Solicitor-General, contend ed on the part of the State, that the goods wherever they might be, were subject to the tax, and ihut no sale by Lane could de feat the tax which he owed as a merchant on his stock of goods. First in support of this proposition, he cited Sec. 14 of Tax Law of 1804, wherein it is stated “that Taxes shall be preferred to all securities and incumbrances wiiari-ver ” He argued, in application of this Statute to the case before the Court, the term all securities and incumbrance whatever, would include ab. solute bills of sale made to secure debts, as well as mortgages, or conditional sales. Mr. Pope next cited Sec. 15 of same Act, making void all kinds of conveyances made with the intent to evade payment of taxes. And here he argued that every sale by a failing man, prior to payment of taxes, to particular creditors to save them only, came wilhin the words and spirit of the Act; that the sale in this case was made avow edly to defeat payment of every debt owed by Lane, as well the debt to the Slate as the debts to private individuals. The last citation of the Solicitor-Gen :ral, was from Sec. 8. of tiie same Act, by which every person is required to render in under oatli all the. taxable property possessed by them on the let day of January, in each year. With this Statute before us, said he, of what use can it be to require the specification of property possessed at a previous period, un less the Legislature intended all the prop erty then owned bv eacii individual should be specifically liable to taxea ? If this be not the true view of the cause, he further asked why did not the Legislature make the day of Return and payment the same ? Finally, added Mr. Pope, if the claimant’s grsunds be sustained, all the property of persons who became insolvent before pay ment of taxes, and sold by the'm after the Ist day of January in each year, before is suing of execution against them for taxes will be exempt, whereby the State must he defrauded of large amounts of revenue. Mr. Toombs,on the part of'claimants, ob jected in the first place to the Sec. 14, and stated that it did not apply in the least to the case before the Court. The terms “securities and incumbrances” were, he contended, well understood in law, and never had a bill of sale been defined as a security or as an incumbrance. As ex amples of securities and incumbrance he cited mortgages, pledges, pawns, condition al transfers for protection, judgments and common liens. What, exclaimed Mr. Toombs, shall a bill of sale be considered an instrument to secure a debt to be paid, when it conveys property absolutely, pay ing and extinguishing the debt in part or in whole ? So far as the 15th Sec. of Act of 1804 were quoted by the Solicitor-General, Mr Toombs declared the facts admitted, cleaily proved it did not apply to the pres- I cat ease ; that Statute, he argued, applied ; .•...illusively to conveyances made without consideration, to evade payment of taxes ; and that it should be construed as the Stat ute of Elizabeth, in relation to which it had never been held at any time, that a “ bo na Side sale” to particular creditors was a | n’t defeat and defraud creditors. The - I ;ion here complained of by State’s counsel, was an absolute conveyance for valuable consideration to one portion of Lane’s creditors and with no intention that they should hold the property until the time for payment of taxes had passed, and then restore it to him. Mr. T. objected to any application of Sec. 7, to the present case on the ground, that it was nowhere stated or hinted in said section, that the State should have a lien on the property returned as possessed at the commencement of each vear for its taxes. Should the construction contended for on the part of the State be a dopted, what, said Mr. Toombs, will be the i consequence? That any article sold by Willis & Hester to the citizens of this and other counties, will be subject to the pay ment of Lane’s tax. The inconvenience and danger of such a construction he con cluded were too manifest to be dwelt upon. His Honor Judge Andrews, decided that the goods were not subject, and ordered the levy to be dismissed, for the reasons set forth by Claimant’s counsel. The principle of this Decision may be thus announced : Purchasers of property after the Ist day of January, in each year, will not be required to pay the taxes which may be assessed on such property —no matter how bsrdlv the seller thereof may fail. Jl. PRESENTMENTS Os the Grand Jury, February Term, 1843. The Grand Jmy of Wilkes county, se lected and sworn, tor February Term, 1843, j have by Committees, examined into the condition of the Offices of the Superior and j Inferior Courts, and find them kept in a ! neat and good order. Wo also find the ! County Funds to consist as follows, to-wit.: ! $Ol5 in Central Bank Bills, 536 13 in Sppcie-payiug Bills, 30 due for Jury Fees, 50 “ for Rent of Court-House Offices. Making in all the sum 0f51,231 70 cents. We have by Committee, examined the condition of the Jail, and find it in good or der, with the exception of the steps and plat form leading to the upper room of the Jail, which ought to he put in good repair. Al so, the Fence round the Jail-yard wants re pairing. We allow G. G. Norman, the present Tax Collector, his Insolvent List for State and County Taxes for 1842, amounting to sl7 50 cents. *Vc recommend the Inferior Court, to have new steps leading to the Clerk’s Offi ces, and shade Trees planted round the Court-House and well boxed with plank. We request the Inferior Court to have a j County Tax levied, for County purposes, ! for the year 1843, not to exceed 20 porct. j on the State Tax. We take great pleasure in stating, that, we find but little of an immoral character, that calls for Presentment from this body. We would assign as one great cause of the improvement in public morals, in litis re gard, the very small quantity of intoxica ting drinks that are now used in compari son to the amount that was formerly sold. We find, by reference to the License Book, that there has been but four Licenses issu ed this year for the whole County—whilst in former years there were as many as forty to fifty issued. We believe that if this evil, the use of intoxicating drinks, and one other that is as prolific in its tendency—we allude to the desire which lias pervaded our whole country to become suddenly rich— was entirely cured, we should be a happier people and stronger nation. In many parts of our State, the last Legislature was look ed to with great anxiety ; the People were expecting that something would be done to relieve their present embarrassed condition, —that body in their wisdom, found that they could not do anything, that would re lieve the debtor and do justice to the credi tor. We believe the people have the only rightful remedy in their own hands—it is a rigid course of economy and persevering industry—this will bring quick and perma nent relief. It should be the policy of eve ry man to arrest as speedily as possible, this ruinous credit system, which has brought most of the present evils upon us. We would recommend to all administra tors of the law, a faithful discharge of their duties, and to all good citizens, implicit o bedience to the Statutes of our country, and in all and every instance to avoid Mob-law that is now rife in many parts of our land. We would, as an awful example of this e vil, point to that horrid murder that was perpetrated at Spring Hill, Barber county, Alabama. We would recommend as a watch-word, when we find the disposition arising in our own breast, to arrest the u sual operations of, and a desire to take the strong arm of the Law in our own hands, remember “ Spring Hill.” We present Truman Hinton for the of fence of selling by retail, in quantities less than one quart, Whiskey, the same being Spiritous Liquor, in the county of Wilkes, State of Georgia, on the 14th clay of Janu ary, in the year eighteen hundred and for ty-three, without License from the Inferior Court of said county, the place where said Whiskey was sold not being a Corporate Town or City, where by law authority to grant licenses vested in the Corporate au thorities of such Town or City. We request that t lie charge of Judge An drews, to this body when sworn in, be pub lished with these Presentments. We tender to his Honor Judge Andrews and the Solicitor-General, our thanks for the courtesy extended by them to this Jury during the present term. We request that our Presentments be published in the News & Gazette. THOMAS ANDERSON, Foreman. Francis McLendon, William Jackson , William S Howard, Thomas Semmes, Joseph Moseley, George W.

JOHN H DYSON, Clerk. JUDGE ANDREW’S CHARGE. Gentlemen : —The duty we are called on to perform, is the most important, apper taining to the Government; so important, that in time of peace, if the Judiciary could be sustained, in full vigor, we would have a very good government without the aid of any other department. So important is this department viewed by the Common Law, that the Judges are made independent in the tenure of their office, that they need nut fear the bidding or threats of any man or party of men ; independent by the emolu ments of their office, that they need be un der no temptation from necessity, and may have no need of devoting their time and talents to any Other business than that of t eir office, and armed with sufficient pow j ers, not merely to curry their decrei s into | execution, hut to punish all approaches to J contempt or disrespect of tic ir authority. The framers of oui Constitution, dm ply sensible of the importance of this branch ot the Government, made it independent of, and srperute from, all the other depart ments; the constitutionality of whose acts it might be called on to pronounce. The framers of that instrument, knowing the liability of the public, in times of excite ment, to run into excess, placed constitu tional guards around some of the great and fundamental rights of the people, to be en forced by the Judiciary ; such as the right of trial by Jury, the right to the writ of Ha beas Corpus, and the rights of private prop erty, by declaring that nothing but gold and silver should be a tender in payment of debts, and that no Law should be made vi olating the obligation of contracts. With in the pale of this Charter, our representa tives can legislate, and it devolves upon the courts and juries to enforce such legis lation, whether they believe it right or wrong. By the Constitution, the legisla tore has the power to pass all laws not re pugnant to that instrument, that they may deem for the public good. If the law be bad, We are not responsible for its evils : When passed, it becomes a rule, nav a bar gain, between man and man, by which the people through tin ir representatives, have agreed, one with an •■her, to be bound, and there can be n justice in denying its bene fits to any citizen. There is no equity in binding a man by the laws, and denying him the benefit of those to which he appeals.. The legislature have no power to violate the Constitution, and we, none to evade its laws when within its pale. Then, if a cit izen make a contract, or do a deed that, at tho time, is legal, there can be no justice in denying him the benefit of the one, or condemning him for the oilier. It is not merely justice to administer the law as it is written, but sound policy. Why is it, that the young man full of strength and health, cheerfully denies him self tho indulgences of pleasure, so intoxi cating to youth, and spends his best days in privation and labor ? He knows that the iawsof the State have guaranteed him the right to enjoy his acquisitions, when his body shall be enfeebled by age and dis ease, and that lie may transmit them to those endeared to his affections. But let him be taught to believe there is no reliance on such protection, and like the savage, he will provide only for the hour. There will be no permanent home or com forts provided, for future enjoyment, if’ lie shall doubt the protection of the Consti tution and Laws. Notwithstanding the proverbial uncer tainty of the Law, yet it has settled, and plainly too, thousands of the most delicate and important relations of life. When plainly written, we generally add to such uncertainty by disregarding or evading its behests. It has grown into a proverb, that a bad law uniformly administered, is better than a good one enforced with uncertainty. Gentlemen : Nothing is more true than that a despotism is betterthan no law at all. That one tyrant is more tolerable than the many who rule when anarchy prevails.— And it is startling to observe that every disregard of the law is an approach to this fearful misrule. Every man, with a per son to suffer or home to be despoiled, has an interest in strengthening the hands of those in authority, and in vindicating the majesty of the law. COMMERCIAL. AUGUSTA MARKET.
