This cause came on to bo heard on tho
transcript of tho record from the Superior
Court tor the county of Gwinnett, in the

counsel: oh consideration whereof, it is
the opinion of this Court, that the act of
the Legislature of the .Stain of Georgia,
upon wlffth the indictment in thn ctworit
founded, is contrary *o Iho Constitution,
Treaties, nnd Laws of the United Stains;
and that the special plea in bar pleaded

Stitutiou, troattns, and'laws of the United

We are happy to announce tiie art ival

To' hii attentive fiiend, we are indebt
ed for London papers of the 15th, 16th
and evening of tho 17th. The most im
portant intelligence they contain is that
the Asiatic Cholera has made its appear
ance in London—th-it it has reached Glas
gow—nnd is spreading iu Scotland. A
bill his pissed the House of Commons
investing Government with extraordinary
powers, to prevent tlto spreading of the
disorder. There are no indications of
extraordinary alarm prevailing among the
population of tho Grent Metropolis, still
the consequences to commercial men must
be severely felt.
Thn places whore the Cholera has bro
ken nut nee all inhabited by die lower
classes, sailors, sliipriglus, and persons con
Reeled with shipping. They ate iinmorii-
ntuly on the hanks of the Thames. The
D icks ace al! situated in Wapping, Ro
diet hell and Limcliouse, these ure on one
side of iho River, Southwark nnd Lam
beth are on the opposite side. The p.i
r*i»li fire engines had been ordered out, and
were washing all ilte hnnses in the streets
and alleys where thn disorder had shown
itself. It was staled in the House of
Commons during the debnto, that Dr.
Henry, of Manchester, had ascertained
bv extioriments, that ia the cases of ty
phus fever and scarlatina, heat, at degrees
•varying from 120 to-200, will disinfect
certain substances which havo heeu sup
posed tn be the greatest conductors ol
disease, ami if this can be put in practice,
it is thought it would remove oho of the
most material obstructions in the way ol
commerce.

'Major Genernl Lorenzo Moore had

Tho following is tin-extract of « letter
from Lisbon, dated Feb. 1:
“The American ships raptured by the

another Columbus, a new route to South

his object, unless the city of Londou
should happen to come'in the way ! With
out doubt, if be should gain a victory, H
would be found, by Mr. Webster and hi*
friends, “becoming u moral and religions
people to rejoice at il.”
We have taken some pains to ascertain
the course to be pursued in a case like (lie
present, and we have the authority of one
whose legal acquirements are second to
thoso of no individual in the. nation, fur
saying that in tho present sfogo ol .the
case, ilie Executive has no right whatever,
to interforo. The court has pronounced
n judgment, and tho mode of giving it of-
foct is a judicial question ;—ordinary re-
sistcarc uf judicial authority is to bo met
by ordinary moans. Tho President is
not the executive officer of tlto couii.
There is but one case In' which he has of
ficially, the remotest erncern in iho appli
cation of tbo law to individuals, .and that
is. when there exists hii insurrectionary
movement. In such case, if certified by
I lie peace officeis to a Judgo of tiro Su-
prt-mo Conrt, and by him to the Execu
tive, he is bound lo issue his proclnm.itiuu
calling upon tlto persons engaged in the
insurrection, to suhjnit and disperse. If
they do not obey this proclamation, then
anil not till thou, has ho a right to call
upon tho military and militia force of the
country, to enforce his prod rotation.*
There is no doubt but this is tlto course
to lie pursued, and it will bo perceived at
once, ibat much misapprehension exists in
roliiiioit to wliat lliu executive, is calhul
upon to do. For ourselves tvc have no
apprehension of any insurrectionary .move
ment, and consequently, do not believe
iliat it wall become neces's.icv fur the Pre

THE TARIFF.
Tbe Washington Globe of Monday
says, that Mr. Adams *' as Clmirman of

vowed himself m favor of reduction and

Domestic Manufacture of silk.—We
Imvo received the report of tiro “Select ,
Coniniittco .appointed to tnko into consid
eration the practicability of introducing
the manufacture of Silk, and the proprie
ty of giving a bounty upon the cultivation
of the mulberry tree,” made by Mr. Vail
Srlmick to the Assembly of this state. It
briefly notices tbe origin of tho culture of
this article in tho “ kingdom of Silk, as
China is called,” and die difficulties it bad
to eiicmroter in its introduction into Eu-
roj*e, in most of die countries of which it
ha* al hwt gained a jrorntanenl fooling and
become a pn-minient branch of industry!
The committee maintain dint il will not
have to contend against similar or equal
difficulties in its jirogress iu the United
States, inasmuch as tvc can avail ourselves
of the e*|)erience of those who have car
ried its cultivation and manufacture lo the
greatest extent, and because “ the soil and
climate of this slate, and indeed of every
stato of the Union, are entiisly favora
ble to its culture.” The rejiort stales,
that it lias been ascertained by actual ex
periment, both iu France and England,
that American Silk, if not superior, is at
least equal to that of any other country
—that the cocoons yield more than (hosfl
of Franco nnd Italy—that their produce
is of as line a texture, equal in nerve, and,
when well reeled, loses less in wastage—
that in Connecticut its culture has rev
ceivod attention for nearly seventy years,
and farms which had come nearly sterile
having br.gn devoted to mulberry have
richly rewarded tbeir projnietors—and
that in some years Iho importation and
consumption of silk fabiics in tho Uuitrd
States have been of greater, value thaff
the whole amount of bread sniffs expor
ted, so that the industry and labors of our
families Imvo been ajiprejiriated to tho
imrcltase and introduction of a luxury;
with which the country could, with tho
greatest facility, snjiply itsolf, nnd indeed
not only do that, but inn few years pro
duce a new stnjile, which would not fail
to become n source of wealth. Tbo re

edge we yet have of skilfully reeling the
