Mii.ledceville, Tuesday, Feb. 28, 1826.
Pro uris, foe-is, et pallia nostrum.
We conclude, in this day’s paper, the re
port of Mr. Benton, from the Select Com
mittee to whom were ref red the several re
solutions proposing amendments to the Con
stitution of the United States.
Although this article is of great length, yet
it well deserves a faithful perusal frem all
and every American citizen. It is ably writ
tin, and the arguments clearly and forcibly
expressed, and the necessity of amending the
Constitution, is exhibited in such a strong
light, as to carry conviction to the mind of
the reader.
It appears, as the report states, that the
Constitution, in its present shape, has failed
in its original object of confining the election
of President and Vice-President to the Peo
ple ; therefore, we consider an amendment
necessary. The privilege of electing our pub
lic functionaries, is the only prerogative of
sovereign power which the people have re
tain! and: deprived of that, whether by a fault
in our Constitution, or the arts of wilcy poli
ticians, we are no longer freemen—our gov
ernment becomes an aristocracy.
We fully agree with the Savannah Repub
lican, that “the report, in every point, is co
gent and conspicuous, which is not often ex
hibited in congressional papers. The view
taken of our political principles and institu
tions arc statesman-like, expanded and clear;
the historical illustrations are dignified and
apposite, and altogether the subject is hand
led fin a masterly manner. It is a momen
tous subject to the American people, and will
no doubt engage their serious attention. Let
• very man in the nation who can lay his fin
ger on this report, read it.”
We have no doubt but the People of Geor
gia will peruse this document with pleasure.
It not on!}’ has, as we believe, a salutary
hearing on our federal compact, but striking
ly illustrates the correctness of the decision
given by the people of Georgia,(two years ago;
that they would no longer intrust the choice
of their Chief Magistrate to a body of men
elected for other purposes.
W r e learn that the Special Message of the
President, with the new Treaty, has been be
fore the Senate of the United States since the
2d instant. The customary injunctions of
secrecy were not abrogated on the 16th, so
that nothing definitive can be predicated of
t heir proceedings in the present posture of af
fairs. It was, however, the prevailing opinion
at Washington, that the new Treaty would
be ratified. A few days will decide.
The remarks which follow, from the Co
lumbian Register, are worthy of perusal.
They depict some of the predominant fea
tures in the face of our own body politic,
while they justly reproach the clamours of
those anti-republicans of the non-districting
class, who mode-stiy contend that it is the first
duty and highest glory of the people, to exalt
them to posts of ambition, being careful to
interpose no let or hindrance in their way—
•ike tbia frightful districting bill; —far, sav
they; if Congress, or some other power do
not interpose to save us, our fraternity is dis
solved, and the I‘EOPLE, not we, will send
just such men to represent them, as they
choose.
This, to be sure, is an incurable grievance
to the disappointed factioni-ts of a fallowing
party. If the people, in the unshackeled ex
ercise of their elective franchise, determined
no longer to delegate their representative
power to such men, art pleased to select from
the district o r their own acquaintance, those
to whom that power may be more safely con
liidcd; why then, be it so ; the good or evil
o: this course is the fruit of tin ir own choice,
and the power that creates it, can, at pleas
rc, enjoy the one, or remove the other. The
people, therofore, in the exercise of this pow
er, ask not the condolence of those who but
whimper over the fallen hopes and schemes
of their own abortive ambition.
FRIENDS OF DISTRICTING !
Beware of imposition. It is buz
zed about in whispers, very industri
ously, by the enemies, of districts,
that this measure was started in the
legislature, and is now supported to
aid federalism, and that the leading
advocates for districts have joined
the federal party. The same artifice
was invented, and made use of to
defeat the measure, at the last ses
sion of the legislature. It seems it
had nut the intended effect among
the members of the House of Repre
sentatives, and I trust it will not now,
before an enlightened common ty.
Indeed the pretence is too weak
and ridiculous to gain a moment’s
credit among men of sense and infor
mation ; but lest it should deceive
ihe credulous and unsuspecting, il
may be proper to stale that one of
the bills for districting was intro
duced by .Mr. Ingersoll of New 11a
vetiv a distinguished republican, now
m Congress ; and the other bv Mr.
Verkins of Waterford, in Ncw-Lou
don County, also it republican.—
Was the object of these gentlemen I
to aid federalism 1 Again—these
two Bills passed the House of Repre
sentatives by a majority of 3to 1 ;
and will it be pretended that three
fourths of that House were federal
ists ; or that they were duped into
the measure by the federal party ?
—Away then with such idle preten
ces and groundless rumours. They
arc traps set to catch gulls. Even
man of intelligence knows that di
tricting has always been a favorite
measure of the republicans; and
lliat it is not now a party question in
♦his or in any other State. All iq<-
menot' every party know and
admit, that it is the only mode of
election lit lor a free people ; and
that it should be adopted, so far as
is practicable, in all cases.

CONGRESS.
Friday, Fob. 10.
In the Senate, a number of bills
were reported, of which, the bill to
erect a monument to General Wash
ington, the bill to increase the pay
of the Captains in the Army, while
engaged in active service, and the
bill granting a quantity of land to
tlie State of Illinois, to aid in making
the prqpos tl canal between Lake
Michigan and the river Wabash,
were the most important. The re
solution offered by Mr. Macon, pro
posing to diminish the patronage of
the Executive of the United States,
was agreed to, without debate. A
large portion of the day was passed
with closed doors, in the considera
tion of Executive business.
In the House of Representatives,
yesterday, Mr. Scott, of Missouri,
laid a resolution on the table calling
for information from the War De
partment, on the subject of restrict
ing Indian traders Mr. Ward, of
New-York, laid a resolution on the
table calling for an account of un
claimed dividends, from the Treasu
ry Department. Mr. Whipple, of
New-llampshire, laid resolutions on
the table inquiring if any measures
have been adopted for the introduc
tion of vaccination into the Army
and Navy • and ?dr Tattnall, ol
Georgia, introduced a resolution ask
ing the President for information as
to the claims for indemnification for
slaves taken away, and the decisions
of the Commissioners tinder the
treaty ol Ghent. On motion of Mr.
Pearce, of Rhode-Island, Ihe Com
mittee on the Judiciary were in
structed to inquire into the subject
of giving the Reporter of tho Deci
sions of the Supreme Court a com
pensation which would make the re
ports come at a more reasonable
price to the purchasers. The Com
mittee on Military Affairs were in
structed, on motion of Mr. Mitchell,
of Tennessee, to inquire into the ex
pediency of digesting a system of for
tifications for the sea-board, which
would not require a larger annual
appropriation than $500,000. Un
motion ot Mr. Cook of Illinois, the
Committee on Public Lands were
instructed to inquire as to additional
allowances to the Receivers of pub
lic money for remitting the same. A
resolution was also adopted, ort mo
tion of Mr. Wright, of Ohio, relative
to the navigation of that river ; of
Mr. Holmes, of North-Carolina, as
to thq navigation of Cape Fear : on
motion of Mr. Storrs, of New-York,
on the subject of the Navy Yard in
tnis city ; and on motion of Mr.
Boon, of Indiana, relative, to pay
ments for subdivisions of public
lands. The General Appropriation
Bill, and the Appropriation Bill for
Fortifications, were passed; and that
for the Military Service was order
ed to be read a third time to-mor
row, Several private bills went
through committee.
Tuesday, Feb. 11.
The bill making an appropriation
of $15,000 for the repair of the road
through the Indian country, between
Jackson and Columbus, in the State
of Mississippi, wastiic subject of con
siderable discussion. It was oppo
sed upon the ground that Congress
had no power to make a road within
the limits of a state, and that when
the State of Mississippi was admit
ted into the Union, the jurisdiction
which, previously, the Indians ceded
to the United Stales over this road,
passed to the state, and was vested
in it. It was supported on the ground
that the road run through an Indian
country, the title to which had never
been extinguished, and that, there
fore, the state had no power to make
it ; that like applications had receiv
ed the favor of Congress, and that
no constitutional principles was con
nected with the bill It was ordered
to a third reading.
Wednesday, Feb. 15.
In the Senate, the bill for the sur
vey of a route lbr a Canal across
the Peninsula of Florida, was the
subject of discussion the whole day,
and was ordered (o be engrossed for
its third reading. The interesting
views contained in the letter of Mr.
White, the Delegate from Florida,
which was addressed to the Com
mittee on Roads and Canals, will
show the general grounds on which
tlie subject was recommended to
Congress, and the probability that
the undertaking is likely to be crown
ed with success. During the discus
sion, Mr. Johnston, of Louisiana, sta
ted that 150.000 tons of shipping
were employed in the commerce of
the Mississippi; that 732 vessels en
tered the port of New-Orleans dur
ing the yea. 1825; and that he had
received from a gentleman in Bos
ton, well informed on the subject, a
schedule of all the vessels lost on
the Bahama Banks and the Straits of
Florida, last year, that they amount
ed to 64 vessels; that the first five
amounted to $478,000, and the
whole loss of the balance w ould ex
ceed $700,000.

_ SUMMARY.
From a Ladies Fort Folio.
Modesty. —An accute Frenchman
has remarked, that the modest de
portment of a really wise man, when
contrasted with the assuming air of
the young and ignorant ; may be
compared to the different appearance
of wheat, which, while its car is
empty holds up its head proudly ;
hut as if is filled with grain, bends
modestly down and withdraws from
observation.
The Greeks are we fear, in great
jeopardy.—The Turkish fleet, with
their transports (among them we
blush to say, an American flag was
flying,) had arrived at Navarin, and
would it is feared make a successful
descent.—-V. Y. American.
A Hermit. —lt is stated in the
Tliomaston(Me.) Register, that there
has resided for a number of years
past in the back part*>f the town of
Montville, a hermit of the name of
Barret, lie has dwelt in a cave,
the work of his own hands, dug in
the bank of a small river, and care
fully secured at the entrance against
the intrusion of wild beasts, by a
large log, sufficiently hollow to ad
mit of his entering. He rejects eve
ry kind of luxury which may he offer
ed him—the fruits of the earth that
grow spontaneously in the woods
around him, lining his only food, wa
ter from the limpid stream his only
drink.—Since his retirement from
the world, he lias copied the bible
twice, once on paper and once outlie
bark of a birch tree. About a year
since, lie moved his cave in Mont
ville, farther into the woods; the
country having become so much set
tied around him that he was frequent
ly annoyed by visitors. He was the
son oi a respectable farmer in Mas
sachusetts, who obliged him to mar
ry a woman he disliked having pre
viously formed an attachment to an
other. Jle lived with his wife but a
shorl time, when il is said,rather than
endure the society of her he could
not love, he determined to forsake
the world and its pleasures, and se
cretly left his native town for Maine,
and took up his abode in the wilder
ness. Nat. Standard.

The large village of Brock, near
Amsterdam, in Holland, is said to
present the most remarkable exam
ple of uniform neatness and punctili
ous attention to cleanliness that the
world can produce. It is chietly in
habited by wealthy farmers, who live
in affluence on the income of their
lands. Waggons and loaded carria
ges are not allowed to pass through
the street; the pavement of which
is kept in the best possible order
while the foot walk, which is as clean
as scrubbing brushes can make it, is
sanded and marked out into fanciful
and ornamental figures. The doors
and porches are burnished ; the
trunks of the trees which grow be
fore them are polished by frequent
scrubbing. ' To gain admittance at"
the front door, is a favor not to be
expected, except by persons of some
consequence, and if the shoes of a
visitor happen to be a little soiled,
a pair of slippersis presented to him
at the door, which he is to use as
a substitute during his stay.

POLITICAL ECONOMY.
Is congressional protect ion of man
ufact ares a violation of the consti
tution 1
This is an important question,
which has never, it is believed,
been fully discussed. It ought to
have been finally settled long since.
Whenever, of late years, the ques
tion of protecting tiie industry of
ihat useful and numerous portion of
our citizens engaged in furnishing a
domestic market for the flour, the
bed', the pork, the mutton, the lamb,
the poultry, the vegetable, the spir
its, the cotton, (ho wool, the hides,
the skins, the hair, the tallow, the
timber, the hemp, the flax, the coals,
(he iron, the lead, the copper, of their
fellow citizens who cultivate the
soil, or explore the bowels of the
earth for hidden treasures, has been
agitated, a formidable opposition
has been excited among those
very fellow citizens, on the ground
of the constitution presenting an in
superable bar—thus unwisely, as far
as in them lay, endeavoring to de
press and diminish the number of
their best customers and support
ers.
In many eases the opposition to
measures contemplated or adopted,
arises from the address of designing
men exciting the passions and preju
dices of the ignorant and uninformed.
This is by no means the case in the
present instance. The opposition
embraces some of the most enlight
ened and estimable citizens in the
United State?. John Taylor, of
Caroline, whose talents and rectitude
were never called in question, was a
leader of this school, A governor
of one of the southern states, Virgin
ia, I believe, denounced the system
m a recent message to the legislative
body—and in the legislature of South
Carolina, a resolution, declaring such
protection unconstitutional, was late
ly brought in, and probably pas
sed :
“ Resolved, That it is an unconsti
tutional exercise of power on the
part of congress, to lav duties to pro
tect domestic manufacture l .”
AV hilu the intelligence and integri
ty ot the (.pposers of protection, are
freely admit ted. it may he confident
ly asserted, that an equal portion oi'
integrity arid intelligence lias been
arrayed on tho other side of the
question.
In this conflict of opinions, it is well
worthwhile to investigate the sub
ject thoroughly, and ascertain wheth
er there be any clue to guide us in
our researches, and to establish the
soundness of the doctrine, beyond
the power of controversy.
The power of congress to impose
duties, restrictions, and prohibitions
for the protection of our citizens en
gaged in commerce, has never been
once impugned. And it would be
difficult to prove that it is net equal
ly the right and obligation of con
grt s to impose duties, restrictions,
and prhikitions for tlie p; otection of
another class of citizens, certainly
not less useful, and at least ten times
as numerous.*
in the first session of the first con
gress, tlu duties on teas imported in
American vessels, averaged 12 cents
per pound; whereas on those im
ported in foreign vessels, the av -
erage was twenty-seven cents —be-
ing a difference of 125 per cent, for
the protection of navigation and
commerce. This, with impartial
and unbiassed minds, might probably
be admitted to settle the question
But it would be manifest injustice to
confine il to this support, when ot It
ers, probably more cogent, maybe
stated.
The first congress contained pro
bably, one-half, cf the members of
the convention that fumed the
constitution——and, moreover, ma
ny of the most strenuous oppor
ers of that constitution. The
forfier class could not, by any
po+ibdily, be mistaken as to the
(rue intent and meaning cf that in
strsinent. In that congress certain
ly were men as high-minded, as pure,
ans as I 'llightercd, as any citizens of
the present day, without exception.
In the list were Madisons, Clvmers,
Carrolls, Gerry?, Muhlcnbergs* Mor
rises, Fitzsim-rises, Ameses, Pages,
Tuckers, Iloudincts, Wadsworths,
Blands, Livcrmores Goodhues, Jack
sons, Shermans, foe. AVere all these
citizens so absurd as to mistake the
intent and meaning of, or so wicked
as to deliberately violate, the consti
tution, which they had sarredlv
sworn to support, anti which so ma
ny of them bad aided to frame ? It
would be folly to answer in the affir
mative. Yet either they did thus
grossly violate the constitution ; or
the objection we are discussing is in
valid ; for the protection of manu
factures by duties on importation,”
was explicitly avowed by most of
them at various times—and I have
examined the debates, and believe I
am perfectly justified in saying it was
never once opposed as unconstitu
tional. Various duties were, it is
true, opposed, and some of tin sn
vehemently, on the ground of their
assumed unequal operation—but no
one lisped a word on the ground ot
unconstitutionality. 1 might refer
the reader to the debates of the first
congress, to decide this important
point But the book is scarce, and
even if otherwise, few would take
the trouble to examine it. I hope,
therefore, I shall be pardoned for h
pretty copious collection of extracts,
which 1 trust will bo found to estab
lish irresistibly, the sense of that con
gress on this subject.
