OR THE SORCERESS OF MONTILLO: A ROMANTIC TALE. SuUen and sad to fancy’s frighted eye, Did shapes ofdun aod rn'irVly dew advance. In train tumultuous, and of gesture strange, And passing horrible! CHARACTACXH* ('CONTINUED.) In a short time the slaves lay insensible on the floor, and I had no doubt had ligh ted the saloon to enjoy themselves in the hashaw’s absence. Taking a hunch of keys, which had fallen from Abdallah’s pouch, I opened a door opposite to that I had entered, and traversed several luxu riant apartments, till I came to one richly perfumed, and hung with violot coloured satin and variegated flowers.—Hero, on a tose coloured couch lay a lady sleeping, beautifully clad in robes of purple and In dia muslin, A light veil concealed her face, which I gently withdrew, and be held, O heavens! the indescribable reali ty of the portrait I had so long cherished. My whole soul was absorbed-in love and Contemplation—I stood till she turned and waked. A faint scream followed her sur prise, as I sunk upon one knee, and re peated a thousand protestations to quiet her alarm. Seeing she,regarded me with a kindly eye, I drew the picture from my bosom, and putting it into her hand, de- if cViO f>VPf Qllll’ iYlP. OrifllTlIll !«■—» manded if she ever saw the original! *.• Long have I sought for the lovely reaL- Ity,” said I; this picture came into ray possession many months since in a singu lar way, and now I have found all I have sighed for, thou celestial divinity V v “ Great Mahomet 1 the likeness is mine.” —exclaimed Seraphina, “ But, stranger, it is dangerous to, stay even to give an ex planation. If the bashaw should know of your intrusion iu ihese forbidden apart ments, alas! I should tremble for your fate!” *• Ah, angelic ere/lure," said I—“ there is my despair—the favoured bashaw, bles sed will) your love—" “ Love!” ex claimed Seraphina-—" I have only known that sublime passion yet by name!—the bashaw is my aversion. I would rather be the meanest drudge in his palace than Fie compelled to receive his loathsomo ad dresses !” I then spoko to her of my family, of mv property, and of marrying her in Spain where mutual esteem was a jewel more in valuable than all the tinsled splendour of the East. Seraphina then indulged me by giving abrief narrative of her life:— ' **‘1 have heard mv nurse often repeat to tnc the cruellies wmen took place in con- \ sentience of the edict of Philip, without particuferiZing either my family or name.' \vhm I had attained' my sixth year, my jikise privately sold me to a slave mer chant. In dressing me out, I particular ■ ly remember a string of pearls hung round my neck, which my purchaser insisted (should go with me. My. prattle and per son engaged his favour, and he educated me with great care and. expense. Never having experienced the caresses of a pa rent, I became attached to him, and led a life of happiness till he died. His ra pacious heir then sold me to n merchant, who again sold me to the bashaw Ismael Solyman, whose slave I now am.” Our conversation next took a tender turn, and I proposed to Seraphina to ef fect an immediate escape! and that Ab dallah should be of our party, as he knew the path across the sands, and for the sake of his freedom would be faithful to us.— I imparted the scheme to Abdalhh, who agreed to every part but that of going be fore he had had a gala night:—“ and this,” added he, “ shall be to-morrow flight.” It was useless to represent to him that delays were dangerous; he laughed at mv fears, and left me to give *>rders about preparing the celestial saloon for the grand festival. On the following morning" the ladies of the haraift were let loose, and expressed their astonishment at the figure and dress of an European. In particular, ajlady, named Zulima, address ed herself to mv notice, and I observed she beheld Seraphina with a jealous eye. Except this lad}', who was of a hold figure and commanding aspect, the others had more the manners of children. The ba shaw’s favourite wife, by whom he had twri children, both of whom were dead, refused to partake in our revelry, and re mained in her apartments. At the first hour of night our festival began, and Se raphina, magnificently decorated, looked like the hours of the enchanting scene. From the garden we were invited to visit the great bashaw Abdallah, who, in the rentre of the celestial saloon, under a ."flittering canopy, seemed surrounded by every earthly luxury. When the Turkish dances Lad subsided, our bashaw gave the word to move into the supper room, where he seated himself ip the bashaw’s seat, and ordered no one to remain sober after he ceased to be so. Zulima now ordered her black servant to fetch a bottle of the favourite wine which she and the bashaw used to drink together. Pouring some into a golden vessel, and presenting it to Seraphina, she said, “ Come, Seraphina, you cannot refuse a cup to.the health of your brave Spaniard.”—Seraphina took but f threw myself before, her, and draw ing my sabre, presented its point to her in turn. . 'f \ In thi$ state of confusion, .with oar. wea pons uplifted, three blasts from the shrill sound of a trumpet, threw all the compa ny in the most alarming consternation.— The cup fell from the hand of Seraphina, and, as she sunk into my arms, she feebly uttered, " My dear Marano, we are all lost!—It is the bashaw Solyman !” Zu lima, recovering from the first affright, threatened me with revenge. Abdallah lay insensible from inebriety, and the la dies had swooned with terror. In this state the bashaw entered, attended by his guard—Zulima instantly addressed him " Behold, my ferd," said she, “ the source of alhhc-disorder in this Spaniard, who has boasted that he slew you in battle, who has offered violence to the, bribed your servant Abdallah, and now holds your slave Seraphina in his arms 1” While Zulima spoke, Solyman recognized me : “ Tis the man who had nearly conquered me in battle!” said he. “ Guards, seize the Christian dog, disarm, and bear him to the dungeon. _ Seraphina shall this night be mine ! And, after I am sated, the women shall be resold, and Seraphina with them !” I became frantic with rage, and end ed with gigantic strength—I burst from the guards, and rushed upon Solyman, I drew the fatal dagger which I wore in my bosom. As he receded to avoid the blow, Zulima thrc,w herself up on me with the weapon still in her hand : I avoided her, and in the act of defence- pierced her to the heart. Again I was seized, and forced to the dungeon in an insensible state. When try recollection returned, I found myself chained to the wall. I called on the name of Seraphina till I was exhausted. Eve ry moment I expected the execution of the Bashaw’s sentence, and a slow step spon announced the approach of it. The pprsori advanced close to me, concealed by the total darkness. -A glaring light then shone from behind, and a voice along the vaulted passage called out, “ Stop till Ifask the wretch some questions 1” When toe.light appeared I beheld mv danger.— A black slave, half naked, was standing over me with a battle axe, ready to strikei ’the stranger then demanded in a furious tone how I becameTpoSSessed of the dag ger I had killed Zulima?—I instantly re collected the voice and features of Ach- met, whose generous nature immediately set me at liberty, and promised me the same succour I had recently yielded him. He then conducted me into that suite of rooms where I had first seen Seraphina. In the last apartment my feelings were agonized by the sight of Seraphina sitting in an affectionate posture with the Bashaw, Achmet saw my agitation, and kindly turn ing to mo said, “ Feel no uneasiness at what you see, my friend. A few hours have unravelled wonderful mysteries, and produced the most pleasing prospects.— This is the Bashaw Ismael Solyman, my brother, and the brother of L-ady Cleona.. That is Seraphina, the daughter of our long lost sister, and you arc my friend and preserver, Marano de Pinato.”—Joy fil led rny soul, as Seraphina. unrestrained by tne presence of her uncles, rushed into my arms. After.my transports had a lit- tlesubsided, Achmet informed me that he had saved his brother’s life on the field of battle, and had then explained to him the death of Nourahthat Ismael Solyman, overcome with sorrow, had resolved to pass the rest of his days in solitude in his castle. On his arrival, the disorder that reigned, and the words of Zulirh^ had de termined him to subdue the beautiful slave. As she lay on tlie couch apparent ly lifeless with terror, he beheld the neck lace of pearl and gold, given by Lady Cleona to Seraphina at her birth. He knew it again, and when she had recover ed, he opened his arms to receive her as his niece. Achmet confirmed his brother in the certainty of the necklace; and af terwards informed me that Rimanez was gone to his castle to fetch Lady Cleona to her brothers; and that Don Algonah had employed him as an agent in murder her, but, touched with pity and a love of her beauty, he had spread a report that she had been drowned in the Darro, in which the Don .also thought that he (Rimanez) had shared the same fate. (To be continued.) THE UNITED STATES. Our attention has been attracted by a letter, copied recently into the news-pa pers of the day, from the London Exam iner, where it is given as having been “re ceived, by;a distinguished friend of the people, from a relative travelling in the U. States.” We have seldom read any artr and education is disseminated to a degree so universal - as to be surprising. Emi grants, however ignorant, are changed in the next generation. A dense population must ultimately produce, I fear, a worse state of affairs ; but as the commencement and foundation of this people are superior -to any thing that has yet previously exist ed in the world, the results, we may rea sonably hope, will be superior to what we see in the old world. From the earliest time they have been accustomed to self- government—their dependence upon Great Britain was principally political— the Navigation Acts they always evaded— and against any attempts of their Gover nors to invade their privileges, they passed resolutions containing as free principles as any broached during the War of Inde pendence. Our histories do not contain these matters’; they are to be found only in the histories of different States, of which they have many published early in style of chronicles. The English Cabi net, even in the time of Charles II. were alarmed at this tone of independence, but were always deterred from coercing them, lest they should join the French ; and it was only after the conquest of Canada,the English ventured upon steps which leclim- mediliftely to the Revolution. When in dependence arrived, they had only to frame the Federation. State Ooverc- ments had Jong been previously in practis cal existence ; the only change was Jn dri ving out'a Governor appointed by thq King, and electing one for themselves, witli an elective council. The inhabitants of the Southern States,such as I met with', do not differ from those of the North ; they are the same People—shrewd,cleyer, plain, but abounding in common sense.— The nature not only oftheir constitution and laws, but customs and manners, is to tally averse from the acquisition of over grown fortunes in particular families ; en tails are not allowed ; and, in default of wills, property is equally divided amongst all the children. From the effect of this, properties which were once considerable in Carolina, Virginia, and the Southern States, are now frittering away every day.” “ You will frequently hear of large for tunes made by commercial individuals, but the second or third generation they are divided out to the level of the general mass. Men of wealth seem more to be envied than liked. It is impolitic tofnake too great a show if you wish to rise or to be popular. Tho members of Govern ment, even the Secretary of State, live in the plainest manner possible. The state of a London merchant of secondary class, liv ing in Guilford-street, or Ely-place, is e- qual to that of Mr. or Mr. . I saw , no establishment, even amongst the roer- ■ chants of New-York, which could have exceeded ?2,500 per annum. The Presi dent in travelling,, lives at a boarding house ; and in travelling in a steam-boat, he draws a ticket with a tailor or a haber dasher, to know which is to have the bed or the bench to sleep upon. Parade and show are contrary to the genius 6f the peo ple ; they will not brook that one man should exhibit any extravagant superiority over tho rest of the citizens.” “ In external appearance, and in regu larity of attendance at church, they are the most religious people in the world. The country is covered with . churches.— On the Western road, in every newly e- rected village, a church is to be found. At half past twelve to one o’clock, you will see the whole population of New-York turn out of the churches ; at Phiiadclpha and Baltimore the same.” “ I met in general promiscuous society, with Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Meth odist, Unitarians,and Catholics, and could only find it out by ascertaining what churches the attended on Sunday* This must arise from their having no political privileges to quarrel about. No clergy men in America can hold any military or civil employment what ever ; lie must be a parson, and nothing but a parson. In tho poorest situations they have a decent maintenance; in the parishes of New- York, about 2 or 3,000 dollars annually. This arises solely from the rent of pews.— In your rank of life, it would cost about fifty or sixty dollars per annum for the support of the church and clergyman. Mr ■ had purchased his pew, and the in terest amounted to about twenty dollars per annum. This was the whole expense —no gifts, presents, or other mode by which money can be exacted 1 Their clergymen are invariably respectable men, and good preachers. I mean as to tone and delivery—the composition equal to whatyoo find amongst the ordinary preach ers in England. Upon the whole, I did not hear, nor could I discover, in Amer- cle, amongst the many which have been ; ca > the slightest objection to .suffering re lignant look of Zulima gave me a susph cion of the fate of Noureh—I dashed ii from her hand, and Zulima, perceiving she was detected in her poisonous (reach > cry, drew a dagger, and would have sheathed it the bosom of Seraphina, published from the pens of Europeans, which contains as much just observation, and as correct a discrimination between the characters of the two Nations of Great Britain and the United States, as this does. We do not copy it entire ; but we think-the following passage will interest many of our readers, by showing to them selves the traits which distinguish them from that people of Europe, who sp.eak the same language- with themselves. The writer, it will be observed, has not travel led much, if at all, in the States South of the Potomac, having seen southern men only from home. His observations there fore apply chiefly, and almost exclusively, to the Middle and Eastern Statps. [National Intelligencer. “ In the first place, set it down as an axiom, that as a People they are the first in the world, and essentially differing in certain points from the British. What is practicable and easy therefore with them could not be safety engrafted upon us. In political improvements we must follow at it, and as she raised it to herjips, the ma-, a humble distance. If they are destitute of a “ Corinthian capital,” they have pos itively nq commonality or mob. In the towns, as laborers, something like it may be found in appearance; but the country is covered by yeomanry of the first de- scription who own the soil they cultivate i ligion to take care of itself, without the in ter vent ipn-or assistance of the goverment. “ As to living in America, if restricted to the wants of the labouring classes, it. is decidely cheap. Beef, in New-York, 3d to 4d. per lb. : mutton 2d. to 2£.; common pieces much cheaper. Bread,-as you may suppose cheap. Wages, 1 to lj dollars per day for Common labourers. It is de cidedly the paradise for the lower classes on this terristrial globe. House rent is high fa the town ; servants wages ‘extravagant;, and they do nothing; furniture and clothes exorbitant. You would lire about as well for 1000?. per annum in London as in N. York, with this difference, that in the lat ter with that expenditure, you ' would be somebody, in the former nobody. “You may go as far as ?2000per annum in America, and get some comfort for the outlay in a country-house, carriage and horses; beyond, that would be folly to spend it, ifyou had millions, for you can get no servants, and the larger your es tablishment the greater your individual slavery. The people I admire-—their spirit, their institutions, and their growing power (for their anticipations afc to the population are not exaggerated)—but with any present feeling—(they may improve) —I would rather reside in Great Brittam, in spite of her imperfections?!’ Remonstrance against the Tasif.—The Charleston South Carolina papers of the 18th ult. contain the memorial, of the Chamber of Commerce of that city, to Congress, “against any additional bur thens otf the Agricultural and Commer cial interests of the country, in the shape of an amended Tariff." Having inserted the resolutions of several meetings in the Northern States, favorable to an increased Tariff on Woollens, <fcc. we subjoin the substance of the Charleston memorial, as we find it condensed in the Georgetown, S. C. Intelligencer.—Nat. Intel. “ It commences by stating its opposi tion to the Woollens Bill, both as regards its principles and its provisions. It then proceeds to state the danger of all legal restraints on foreign commercial inter course, which, when once commenced, may be carried to a most pernicious and even ruinous extent. The records ofhis- tory and the present struggle between rival interests abroad are referred to in illus tration of the general impolicy of restric tive measures—the introduction of a coer cive policy is deprecated as tending to ar ray the agricultural interests of one section of country against the manvfacturing in terests of another, which should be allow ed to harmonise by the gradual operation of circumstances. The two following are the leading grounds of opposition to lo an increase of the Tariff taken by the Memorial. 1st. “ As the duties contem plated in the bill (Woollen’s bill) must constitute an aggravation of an already unequal and burthonsnme tax on the con sumption of the Southern States: and, 2d, “As they must have an encreasing tendency to limit the foreign market for their staples.” Under the first head the position is maintained, with great force, that the existing duty on coarse woollens operates in the nature of a ’burthensome tax on Southern capital, which fails very heavily on the slave holder—a clear dis tinction is drawn between the operation of the tax on free and on involuntary or slav.i labor—the unequal pressure of these du ties on the rich aod poor is noticed. On the second branch of the subject, the Me morial expresses an apprehension of the extent to which our present policy may reach in depriving us of the benefit of a foreign market for our staples. The Me morialists protest against forcing industry out of its natural channels, by statutory en actments, intended to give it a particular direction. They affirm that tho patrio tism of the south did not murmur under the sad effects of unequal pressure when the exigencies of the country demanded sacrifices at the hands of her citizens.— They complain now under entirely differ ent circumstances of the country. The danger of British retaliation is urged at some length as likely to fall with peculiar weight on the Commerce of the Union:— The Memorial next speaks of the proba ble diminntion of the revenue, and then denies the constitutional power of Con gress thus virtually to lav a tax on domes tic industry. It concludes with a feeling appeal to that body on the tendency of the restrictive system to place in opposition the interests and patriotism of the citizen. LATEST FROM EUROPE. NEW-YORK, JULY 7. By the Friends, from Greenock, and the Chili, from Liverpool, we have re ceived papers to the 2d June. The late ness of the hour prevents os from giving more than the heads. Public confidence was increasing in the new Administration, and the funds had advanced in consequence. It was rumored that the King of Eng land had written to the Duke of- Welling ton, requesting him to resume the com mand of the army, which he had declined. Great sensation was produced in Lon don, on the 26th, in consequence of intel ligence from New-York of the misunder standing between the Brazilian and the United States’ Government. A speedy and powerful intervention in favor of the Greeks was about to take place—so fhy the Friench papers. Constantinople dates say that the Divan had commenced carryiug into exe cution the principal articles of the treaty of Ackerman, and that the best under standing prevailed between the Porte and the Russian legation. Odessa, May 8.—Letters from Con stantinople of May 2, announce that the Sultan has dismissed from his office the Seraskier Reaschid Pacha, and appointed for his successor Aga Pacha, who com manded the troops in the Bosphorus.— The latter has been succeeded in his com mand by Chosrou Pacha, whom tho Greeks called Topal Pacha. It is infer red from this either that the Acropolis had been delivered, or that the siege was going on very badly. A report is cur rent that the Sultan has commanded the Reis Effendi not to receive any note from any European minister relative to the Greeks. Liverpool, May 29.—Yesterday, about 2000 bags of Cotton were sold at the low est rates of last week. The average qualities of Uplands and Alabamas are now nearly unsaleable at 6Jd per pound. The motion fer going into committee upon the Corn Bill, in the House of Lords, has been carried by 129 votes to 63. May 31.—This day’s sales estimated at 2000bags; much on a par with the pre ceding day’s business. On Wednesday (30th) there wore sold 300 Sea Islands, supposed to be on speculation, at about l-4d advance on the late prices. AVGUSTA.

Messrs. Editors: Observing by an ac count of certain proceedings of a late meeting “ of citizens of the State of Dela ware friendly to Manufactures and Agri culture," as published in the “ American Watchman” of the 29th ult., that I have been appointed one of the Delegates to the Convention at Harrisburg, I beg leave to state that I decline the appointment. I am not unwilling to co-operate with my fellow-citizens in all proper measures for the advancement of the interests of “ Manufactures and Agriculture," but it appear^to me improper that I should, by participating in the deliberations of the Harrisburg Convention, commit myself in relation to particular measures, on which I may hereafter be called to act in my public representative capacity. I freelv explained this impression to several gen tlemen who, previously to the late meet ing, solicited me to attend that conven tion, and if I could have been induced by any Circumstances to yield to their rush es, such do not at present exist. Independently of this consideration, the incidents and termination of the late meeting in this Borough, and especially the incompatibility of the third resolution as published, with opinions previously formed and expressed on the Woollens BiU” under the responsibility of my pub lic station, would justify me in declining this appointment. I am content that my sentiments in fa vor of the policy of protecting and en couraging American labor against foreign competition should be judged by mv pub lic votes and conduct during the ten years I have been honored with a seat in Con gress. ■ I believe it to be essentially con nected with the national prosperity, and I cannot doubt that it will be so considered by any administration of the General Go vernment, unless its friends, consenting to use it as an engine of party purposes, in volve it in the fate of party struggles. The vote I felt it niy duty to give against the “ woollens bill” was dictated by no change of previous opinions ; but by a conviction, after ful! investigation, that the evils it proposed to obviate either did not exist, or were of a temporary cha racter, requiring no immediate legislation; that the provisions of that particular mea sure were partial, unequal, and extrava gant, and not calculated to attain the pro posed objects of its friends ; that such a measure was not demanded by the wants of the woollen manufactures throughout the Union, nor justified by a due regard to the other great interests of the country. I am, respectfully, your obedient ser vant, L. M’LANE. Wilmington, July 2, 1826. In a Philadelphia paper an advertise ment of patent medicine says, “ One bot tle will act on any complaint whatever, if the patient is reconciled to his fate," SINCERE OPINIONS. Eight years ago, when the Richmond Enquirer and its editor had not become tools in the hands of an unprincipled com bination, and, Mr. Adams not being a candidate, the Enquirer was at liberty to speak the truth about him, that paper con tained the following editorial remarks, upon Mr. Adams’ defence of Gen. Jack son’s conduct in Florida. Frankfort (Ky.) Commentator. “ I cannot sufficiently express the pro found sentiments of admiration and de light with whjch I have perused this State paper. It is written with an astonishing force of ingenuity, and adorned sVith the most captivating eloquence of all descrip tions. It has the air of a man, who feels most acutely for the wrongs of his coun try—who is indignant at the insults offered her by the aggressor, pretending to de mand redress, and who pours ont those feelings in the most forcible strains. It is a monument of diplomatic geuius. It is an ornament to my country. I feel proud of belonging to such a nation which has produced such a blaze of talents. It shivers the manifesto of the Spanish Ca binet into dust and ashes. Into what utter insignificance does the redoubtable Chevalier Onis sink 1 He seems like a pigmy in the hands of a giant.” In 1818, when for a similar reason, the same Enquirer was at liberty to speak with equal freedom of Gen. Jackson, its sentiments were such as follows: “ I will say before my God," says the editor of the Richmond Enquirer, (Thom as Ritchie,) “ that for the acts he has done, on account of the precedents he has set, he (Gen. Jackson) ought to be called to answer. With all my respect for the Ad ministration, I must think them wrong for the forbearance they ?t present appear to have manifested towards him." In the same year, the same Enquirer, copied, with approbation, from the Geor gia Journal, the following, among other remarks : General Jaclcson.—It is rumored that the members of the Cabinet at Washing ton, are equally divided on the propriety of arresting Gen. Jackson for disobedience of orders in his Florida expedition. ***** The “ Hero” of Orleans, like Com. Perry, seems to be intoxicated with po pular applause. He seems to act on the absurd belief that he “ can do no wroDg." He has taken upon himself to decide on the field matters that belong to the Con gress. He has repeatedly disregarded positive orders, and trampled the funda mental laws under foot. He has in short played the part of a Military Despot, and exercised the power of a Dictator in dis guise. It is lime the eyes of the people were opened, and that they should see things as tRey are. Ctcsar, Cromwell and Buonaparte, though valiant defenders, were also enslavers of their country. The celebrated M. M Noali, Judge and Governor of Israel, now edits a pa per in New-York, on the side of the oppo sition. But in January, 1819, Mr. Noah was the Editor of a truly republican print, called the National Advocate. He then said with perfect truth and justice of Mr. Adams, as Secretary of State, what may be now said of him as President, with equal truth and justice. “ Since Mr. Adams has entered upon his public duties, he has not been diverted from them by any extraneous circumstan ces, but has proved, by assiduity, perse- verence and UNents, that be is a most use ful, capable aud correct officer, and merits fully, THE CONFIDENCE WHICH THE PEOPLE REPOSE IN HIM-" The Fredericksburg Herald says, “At the celebration at Orange Court-House, Va. we understand that Mr. Madisen, Ex- President of the U. States, and PFijjp P Barbour, Esq. Representative in. Coes gress, addressed the company.” TOR THE GEORGIA COURIER WO w 1. Two Candidates are before the people of Georgia, for the Executive Chair. la the examination oftheir respective claimt,. every citizen has an undoubted right to draw, and to express them publicly, the conclusions which his feelings, his ideas of matters and things, and his political princi ples, especially, may suggest. Without fear, I shall exercise this right: well knowing that my fellow-citizens cannot censure me for a privilege which is mv boast &.the birthright of every American citizen. Mr. Forsyth and Col. Campbell are the two candidates for the suffrage of the peo- pie. The point I shall principally exa- | mine, is the claims each have, or pretend to have, to that suffrage. First, Mr. For syth.—In respect to the talents and quali fications of this gentleman, no objection? has been made by his enemies. In re spect to his services since he has been in public life, I shall not pretend to speak, it would be an insult to the good sense am! understanding of the people of Geojgia. to expatiate upou that subject. I shall confine myself, therefore, to the hue and cry which has lately been raised in the State, and bandied about for sinister mo tives, by a few disappointed office hunter?, and a few pretended politieiansj who,.un der the garb and sanctified name of Re publican, conceal the most pernicious po litical principles, and the most ardent desire to see John Quincy Adams re elected to the Presidency. This»hue and cry is, that Mr. Forsyth was a Federalist in times past. I appeal to the good sense of rny fellow citizens, to say, whether such a charge is in any wise tenable, and can stand its ground against facts : some of which’ I shall produce to show the fallacy and ri diculousness of the accusation, and which will be admitted, I hope, as incontroverti ble, at least by the impartial and libera! part of the community'. Those most con spicuous in the disssemination of the charge above alluded to, are themselves, to all intents and purposes, federalists of the old school—black cockades to the bene. Being federalists, as I shall be able to prove, how can they oppose Mr. Forsyth for principles which, it would ap pear, accord with’ their own ? They should'on the contrary, support him, and oppose his adversary, who, if I were tc believe them, has been always a consistent democrat. But the plain fact is, that Mr Forsyth has been, and is still, a patriot, a a sound republican, and an ardent friend and supporter of the federal compact,and of the federal constitution, as originally formed and adopted by the States ; while his snarlers and detractors are federalist! to t he bone, and support one for Governor, who will go heart and soul with them io the accomplishment of their splendid schema to better the condition of the pto* pie. All true democrats now-a-days are op posed to Mr. Adams and his measures.— Are the enemies of Mr. Forsyth opposed to Mr. Adams? O yes! say some of them. But are they opposed to his mea sures, and to his plans for promoting the general welfare of the country ? I say they are not. They advocate a liberal construction of the constitution; they advocate internal improvements, exclu sively under the patronage of the federal government; they advocate the abomina ble doctrine, that the President can entaa- i gle the country with foreign alliances; they advocate an exclusive protection of the manufactures, to the detriment of the agricultural interest; they advocate the encroachments of the federal upon the state governments, for they have declared that they would take up arms and range themselves on the side of the United States* regulars against the Governor and Militia of the State; they supported John Quincy Adams, Gaines, Andrews, and company, in their abuse, insults, and bul lying, of the constituted authorities of the people of Georgia, they took part with the enemies of the Southern States, in denouncing the stand taken by South Ca rolina in regard to the iutroduction of free persons of color into that State; they publicly declared, that it would be treason to resist the regulars sent by John Quincy Adams„ for the purpose of capturing*
