Washington, Nov. 5, 1832.
The General-in-chief has received From
the War Department the subjoined Reg
ulation, which is published for the inlor
m a lion aud government of the army, and
all others interested :
“ War Department, \
November 2d, 1832. 1
1. Hereafter no ardent spirits will be
Issued to the troops of the United States,
as a component part of the ration, nor
shall any commutation in money therefore
~be paid to them.
2. No ardent spirits will be introduced
into any fort, camp, or garrison of the
United States, nor sold by any saltier to
the troops. Dior will any permit be gran
ted for the purchase of ardent spirits.
Under the authority vested in the Pre
sident by the Bth section of the act of Con
gress of April 14th, 1818, the following
changes will be made in the rations issued
to the army:—
3. Asa substitute for the ardent Spirits
issued previously to the adoption of the
General Regulation of November 30ih,
1830, and for the commutation in money
prescribed thereby, eight pounds of sugar
.ands -ur pounds of coffee will be allowed
to everyone hundred rations. And at
those posts where the troops may prefer
it, ten pounds of rice may be issued to
every one hundred rations, in lieu of the
eight quarts of beans allowed by the exis
ting regulations.
4. These regulations will not extend
to the cases provided for by the act of
Congress of March 2d, 1819, entitled “An
B.ct to regulate the pay of the army when
employed on fatigue duty,” in which no
discretionary authority is vested in the
President, nor to the necessary supplies
for the Hospital Department of the army.

By way of Halifax, we have, through
the Boatou papers, London dates to the
evening of October 4th. They announce
the capture of Aleppo By the Turks, —
the formation of anew French Ministry,
•—an unsuccessful attack upon Oporto by
the Miguelite troops,; contradict the re
ported death of the Kiug of Spain,--and

Says a London date of the evening of
Oct. 4th, “The King of Spain, although
not out of danget, is improving in his
fcaalth, and hopes are entertained of his
recovery. Madrid has remained tran
quil during his illness, but troops had
been marched to its vicinity, with a view
to the possibility of popular disturbances
in the event of his death, end of a dispu
ted suecessioe between his daughter and
Don Carlos.”
Private letters from friends of freedom
id Germany, give but little reason to ex
pect that any resistance will be made to
the Frankfort protocols either by Sover
eigns or subjects. The people are rep
resented as indignant, but not by any
means prepared for resistance; indeed
the thought of the letter does nut appear
ifi have entertaiued into their minds.
Account from Frankfort on the Maine
state that on the 21st ult. a violent attack
was made upon the King of Bavaria as
he approached the gates of the city. A
rfiob collected and pelted him with stones
mid he is said to have received serious In
jury.
Troops to a heavy amount are gather
ed on the Northern frontier of France,
and the Government is making prepara
tions for immediate war in that quarter.
The uumber of troops from Dunkirk to
Givet is estimated at 100,000 men.
The Prussian government had deman
ded thatthe French troops should remove
..thirty leagues from the Belgian frontier
promising to withdraw its own -the same
distance, with the assurance that if the
former enter Belgium' on the one side,the
latter would do the same on the other.
A faming was raging in the northern
provinces of Sweden.
An insurrection had broken out at Na
ples, but was speedily quelled.
The Spanish armies were retreating
from the Portuguese frontiers.
The papers contain numerous remarks
on the life, character and writings of the
late Sir Walter Scott. The" Birming
ham Journal says. “The present Sir
Walter Scott, who succeeds to the Baron
etcy, is now in his S2d year, Majl>r of
15th o. King’s Hussars, commanded by
Jit. Col Br udetiel, quartered at Manches
ter.”
London, Oct. 4—The Cholera,thouhg
much abated in virulence, still lingers, in
various parts of ihe country, The deaths
per day are from 150 to 200.
A communication from Joseph Bona
parte was read yesterday at 'he Lumber
Troop reform dinner, announcing the
death of his mother, Madame Letitia, or
Madame Mere, as she was styled in the
days of the Napoleon dynasty*
The letters received by the Flanr*
ders mail this morning sia;#. that there
was little alarm in Belgium as to war.
Commerce has revived, and the markets
were vei v brisk. /•
FUNERAL OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.
The remains of Sir Walter Scott have
been consigned to the totnbamjjd the un
feigned regret of thousands. We under
stand that cards had been issued to near
ly 300 petsous, who almost all attended
the fnneral. One o’clock was the hout
fixed on for the time of meeting, and for
about an hour afterwards carriages ol dis
ferent sons and gentlemen on horseback
to arrivo from Edinburgh and
other parts of the surrounding country.
The company having partaken of the re
freshment, adjourned to the library,, where
they heaid an eloquent and affecting
prayer from Principal Baiid; and a little
after two o’clock the melancholy process'
| ion began to move from Abbotsford to
Dry burgh Abbey. As the long funeral
train passed through the village* and ham
lets, one universal feeling of deep sor
row pervaded ail classes. Groups of
people were assembled at different parfs
of the road, and on elevated points from
which a view could be obtained. Most
of them were in mourning, and many of
them were uncovered. The streets at
Melrose were lined ou both side? with the
inhabitants in mourning, and uncovered*
The shops of this and oilier towns were
shut, and the signboards were covered
-with black.
Before the body was consigned to. the
earth, the ‘English burial service was read
by the Rev. J. Williams, rector of the
Edinburgh Academy, A lißle before
five in the afternoon, the last offices weTe
performed. ... ,
The spot in which Sir Walter Scott is
laid is in the north wing of the splendid
ruin of Dryburgh Abbey, now, alas ! con
taining a more splendid ruin than itsel.f.
Here is laid the body of Lady Scott, and
also that of his uncle. The situation is
secluded, romantic, and quite congenial to
all the ideas of the deceased.
Falmouth, Oct. 6„ 1832.
The rumors ot war which very gener
ally prevailed last week have died *way,
leaving no prospect, happily, of a speedy
disturbance of that peace which now uni
versally prevails among the states of Eu
rope, with the exception of Portugal,
which is merely a domestic quarrel, ahd
will, we dare say, be settled without em
broiling any other power. The King of
Spain, when he was thought dead, only
slept, and he still survives, but in a very
languid state. His recovery, however,
seems probable;! but should his death en
sue, it hardly appears likely, from present
appearances, that any serious dispute
would take place respecting the succes
sion to the throne. The question at issue
between Holland and Belgium—the na
vigation of the Sheldt—is expected to be
aioicably settled, notwithstanding the
blustering of his majesty of Holland.
At home, tfcere is little to engage the
country beyond the approaching elections
which are expected to t*ke place in the
early pan of January. From present ap
pearances, there is no doubt but that the
great majority of the Commons’ Rouse
will be returned iq accoidance with' the
spirit of the reform bill, which is, to give
the people good and cheap government.
—lreland is still the scone of bloodshed
«nd violence, lo which there is little
prospect of a termination.
France.
Anew Ministry had been formed in
France, with Marsh .'I Soult as President
London, Oct. 4, (evening.)—The offi
cial acceums from Paris, dated Tuesday
(Oct. 2,) state that the Duke de Broglie
had not at that time signified his accep
tance oi the offei which had been made to
him to join the ministry, but that it was
fully expected that his answer would be
favorable. On Mr. Humiann, who was ab
sent from Paris, Marshal Soult has posi-
reckoned. M. Humann is an able
financier. Should any tiling, however,oc
cur to prevent or dejay his becoming Min
ister of Finance, the portfolio wifi proba
bly beheld ad interim by M. Thiers, who
also enjoys si high reputation as a financier.
DON PEDRO’S EXPEDITION.
The attack m*ade by Don Miguel’s troops
on Oporto is confirmed. D"P. Miguel’s
loss in calculated at nearly 2006 in killed,
wouqded and prisoners, and Don Pedro’s
at nearly 500. Among the prisoners, were
a number of friars, who were decorated
wiih chains and marched through Oporto.
—A renewal of the attack was expected,
but in perfect confidence that it would a
gain fail. Besides the successful resistance
to the attack of Don Miguel on Oporto,
we have to announce the capture of a 26
gug ship bound to Lisbon, from Goa, with
about £30,000 on board in treasure, on the
21st ult. by the constitutional brig Twenty
third of July; and also the dismantling of
the fort Aveiro, by a detachment of Pe
dro’s troops.
The fleet of Admiral SartUrius was seen
within a few leagues of Oporto on Sunday,
who whs supposed to be wending bis way
towards Vigo, off which place Don Mi
guel’s squadron was said to be on thepre
ceding day. The Marquis of Aoglesea,
Morgan, aud Ebenezer Abbett, with
troops for Don Pedro, sailed from Ports
mouth on the Ist of Oct. for Oporto.
TURKEY AND ' GYPT.
Letters from Alexandria, to the 29th
July, mention that ulterior despatches had
been received there from the army in Sy
ra, announcing that Aleppo bad fallen
into the power of Ibrahim Pacha, and
Hussein Pacha with his few remaining
troops, had fallen back upon Aentab.
, GREECE.
rhe decree of the National Assembly
of Greece, confitniing their choice of
Prince Othc as sovereign, has beeu re
ceived tnthn form of two addresses, one
to the King of Bavaria, and the other to
his son, which exbibit nothing beyond the
formal and complimentary. According
to every account from Greece, the estab
lishment of his new majesty cannot be
too greatly expedited.
AUGUSTA,
mosday. November t 9.
We learn by private letters of the abatement
of disease in New 0> leans. We have pleasure
in stating that from its population, greatly redu
duced, a lajge sum, between twelve and„ fifteen
thousand doThirs have been raised by voluntary
subscriptions to relieve the wants of. the poor,
and one of its Banks promptly placed at the dis
posal of the corporation, 60 000 dollars, to enable
them to doeveiy necessary towards that
object.
As we anticipated, Clayton’s stod Berrlsn’s
Convention has blown up. On the rejection of
Mr. Forsyth’s resolutions on Friday, 63 Dele
gates left the House, When we left Milledge
ville on Thursday night,'we thought arrai ge
ments were in progress for a different result. —
Mr. F’s. motion tojjostpone the further conside
ration of his resolutions till next day, under an
intimation of Mr. Spalding to that effect, princi
pally induced this expectation.. We then tho’t
it prob.ablf that Resolutions..would be adopted
by the Meeting, mutually satisfactory, and be
sent to the world for what they were worth, not
as emanating from a Convention of the people of
Georgia, but as the sentimenis of a representa
tion of a portion thereof. We knew, that the.
position taken by Mr. Forsyth and those acting
with him, would not he given up—it was the
right ground and they woutil maintain it. We
only thought, from the manoeuvring, which we
have recorded, that their opponents were desi
rous to avoid, the difficulty by proposing to act,
.not as a Convention, aud give cot responding re
solutions to the public. But we have stated,
in the character of, “ Our Correspondent ,” our
opponents must have seen, that either event, the
rejection or adoption ,of Mr. Forsyth’s fegolu
tions, would have the same effect It wap dis
tinctly stated by both Forsyth and Cuirnniug,
that if this investigation was denied, whose ob
ject was to shew the. authority by which they
claimed to be a Convention of the people of
Georgia, that they would not retain their seats
in that body ; and if this scrutiny was granted, it
would result in the discovery, that it could not
and ought, not to sit in that character. Oar op
ponents imagined that, a very few? would leave
the body, not above 20, and they xvery
willing to risk the const quences, and trust the
issue before the people. The difference between
tbe two parties may be understood by Mr For
syth’s reply to Clayton’s taunting question, if he
was afraid of the people ? “ Yes, said Mr F,l
am afraid of the people. I am afraid to Usurp
their authoiity, and particularly when they have
sent me here to consider the best means of op
posing tbe usurpations of others.” That people
too will sustain the stand taken in their nartie,
and honor the motives und principles which led
to it.
When the Delegates left the Halt, we under
stand there wrs some hissing in the gallery, but
much more applause. Mr. Forsyth when his re
solutions were rejected, rose politely and stated
wiiat was his duty, and asked permission to lay
this paper, (meaning the Protest given below,)
on the table. When .they withdrew and after
the audience hud become qaiet, our informant
states, that
“ There was silence deep as death,
And the boldest held his breath
For a live.
At length, Mr. Peabody moved to have tbe
paper lead, which Mr. Berrien resisted, and it
was iot read. ,
PROTEST.
Os the Delegates who seceded from ‘he
Convention , when that body refused
an adequate scrutiny into the authority
of its members to act as delegates of
the People of Georgia.;
The undersigned, who have been ap
pointed Delegates tea state invention
to be held at Milledgeville, hereby declare
their secession from the body, which is
now sitting, under that title, for 'lie fol
lowing reasons.
First— More than twenty counties are
umepreseuted in the Convention. The
absence of so large a part of a perfect
representation would ift.any case, make
it probabie v and in the present instance
renders it almost certain, that every im
portant vote of the majority of the Con
vention will be, in effect, a vote of the
minority of the'people. *
Second— Not only have more than
twenty counties plainly indicated that
they disapprove the Convention, by. de
clining to elect Deb gates, but many of
those which are represented, made ap
pointments, qot because they approved of
the Convention, but that their delegates
might endeavour te avert tho evils which
they anticipated from the meeting, and in
the expectation that those delegates would
withdraw, whenever a course should be a
dopted inconsistent with the rights of their
constituents,
. Third —We conceive that a course has
beeeu adopted, inconsistent not only with
the rights, of our constituents, but with jus
tico to (he whole People. Avery great
prnportiooofthose sittiogas delegates have
produced'no sufficient evidence, that thev
are duty authorized to appear in behalf of
those Counties which they nominally rep
resent and the majority of the Convention
has-refused to institute and enforce such a
scrutiny as is indispensable to the inves
tigation of this essential fact.
Coder these circumstances, we deem it
ah imperative duty to secede—at the
same time entering a solemn protest
against any authority or influence, which
may be claimed for the acts of the body
which we have left, as acts of a Conven
tion representing the People of Georgia.

Milledgeville, 17th Nov.
Dear Sir :
I send you by mail the pretext of
our friends on seceding from the Conven
tion, the number you will discover to be
53, which are mote than was calculated
on, a,nd leaves those nqw acting with a
bout 68.—For the. information of tbe. pub
lie, I deem it important to furnish you
with the Counties now wholly unrepre
sented, as also those partially represented.
Connties wholly unrepresented, including
those withdrawn :

You will find but 30 Counties fully re
represented, and 5 or 6 of them against
the will.of a majority of their constituents,
including Glynn county.
, You will also receive the Resolutions
reported by the Committee; and I under
stand, they are divided very much among
tbemselVes as to adopting them. Mr.
Gilmer has alroady moved to swike out
the sth Resolution, being against every
thing that looks, like . Nullification , and
Mr. Berrien vrith his usual duplicity and
with his almost universally admitted po.
litical dishonesty, attempting to retain it,
and disclaiming the doctrine., as hGeto
i fore. No man who knows Gov. Gilmer
! cau now doubt him, and if his party
! would pursue the course he recommends,
i the South would have nothing to fear.—
1 have ever entertained the highest re
spect for his political integrity and firm
ness, and this opinion is more confirmed,
aod I am satisfied he looks with an “ eye
single” to the prosperity of the Country,
and to the preservation of the Union.
You will bo pleased lo learn that For
syth as a man. of talents stands higher than
he has ever done; iu fact, the oase, with
| which he has mauaged bis adversaries in
debate, and especially Berrien, ha* aston
ished every body. The Nullifiers how?
ever, are anxious to put him down, and'
even threaten it, but the intelligent of
both parlies laugh i' io scorn, for he now
stands higher with the Legislature than he
ever did, a laige majority of which are
ready to sustain him in the fearless and
patriotic course he has pursued, should it
become necessary. What will Carolina
now do ? I h'gve reaspns to believe she
has discovered ~the a w/ul precipice she
has. reached, aud will make a bold retreat
and unite with us in a Southern Conven
tion to save herself from the. inevitable
destruction which.awaits her, should she
attempt to Nullity.
The following is the Report of the which
was adopted, we understand, with some slight
verbal alterations on Saturday, by.the minority,
who remained in the Hall, with a few dissenting
voices: * ’
REPORT ,
FROM THE COMMITTEE OF TWENTV-ONR.
Mr. Berrien, from the Committee,
made the following Report :
1. Resolved. That the Federal Gov
ernment is a Confederacy formed by the
States composing the same, for the specific
purposes expressed in the Constitution,
and for those alone.. ,
2. That every exercise by the federal
government, or by any department there
of, of powers not gianted by the Constitu
tion, notwithstanding it may be under the
forms of law,'is, in relation to the consti
tuent States, a mere usurpation.
3. That a government of limited pow
ers can have no constitutional right, tu
judge iu the last resert, of its own use, or
abuse, of the powers conferred upon it,
since that would be to substitute for the
limitations of the constitutional charter,
the judgment of the agents who were em
ployed to carry it into effect—to annihi
late those limitations by. a power derived
from the same instrument which created
them.
4. That the federal government, is a
government, the powers of which are ex
pressly limited by the Constitution which
created it, and can therefore have no con
stitutional right to judge in the last resort
of the use or abuse of those powers.
5. That it js essential to a confederated
government, the powers of which are ex
pressly limited by the Constitution which
creates it, that there should exist some
where a power authoritatively to inter
pret that instrument to decide in the last
resort, on the use or abuse of the authori
ty, which it confers upon the common
agent of the confederating States: that
such e power cannot belong to the agent,
/
since that would be to substitute his jadg- j
ment for the constitutional limitation, and j
that in the absence of a common arbiter;
expressly designated by the Constitution j
for this purpose, each State as such, and j
in virtue of its sovereignty is necessarily i
admitted to the exm cise of that right.
.6. That the several States composing j
this Union were, at the adoption of the j
Federal Constitution, free, sovereign and j
independent States; (hat they have not.
divested themselves of this character, by {
the relinquishment of, certain powers to
the federal government, Having associated !
with, their sister States for purposes--en•,
tirely compatible with the continued exis
tence of their own original freedom, so
vereignty and independence.

7- That the act laying duties ob im
posts, passed in July, 1832, as weH as (he
several acts of which that act is ameudato- j
rv, in so far as it transcends the purposes
of revenue, and is intended to operate,
and does operate substantially for the pro
tection of manufactures, is an exercise of
powers,, not granted by the Constitution,
but a plain and palpable violation of tho
true intent, meaning, and spirit thereof
that the said acts cannot be justified un
der die power of regulating commerce
with foreign nations, since to regulate
is not to destroy ; and the principle of a
substantive protection lo domestic tnmuQ
factures assumes, and income instances,
exarts the power of imposing a duty,
which effectually prohibits the importation
of foreign fabrics of like kind with those
which are thus protected, and to this ex
tent destroys foreign commerce, instead
of regulating it. That they cannot be
supported under the power to lay and
collect duties, since this power was given
solely for the purpose of enabling the go
vernment to raise a revenue, which should
be adequate to its lyants, arid the amount
of revenue which'is raised by these pro
tective duties, veiy far exceeds the legiti
mate wants of the government —aud that
that attempt to vindicate the exercise of a
power to impose a burthen on tbe labor
and industry of one portion of the people
of the United States for the benefit of an
other portion of the same people, under
the power to provide for the cotnnion de
fence and general welfare of the United
Statos, is even more alarming than the di
rect results of the system itself, because
that is tovaserjbento Congress a power to
do whatever in.their judgment may con
duce to the common defence and general
welfare, and thus to invest the National
Legislature with unlimited, (because mere
ly discretionary), power over the rights
and liberties of the people of Georgia.
8. That tbe people of Georgia arp sin
.cciely attached to the Federal Constitu
tion, and to the Union of these States,
which it createsatid guarantees—that they
consider it & a precious inheritance re
ceived from their fathers, which it is the
duty of patriotism to maintain and defend,
and estimate it above all price, save that
of liberty: that they are ever ready to peril
their fortunes and their lives in its de
fence, and would deeply deplore its disso
lution, as an event alike inauspicious to
themselves, aud to the cause of civil lib
orty thioughout the world That actua
ted by these feelings, and even amid the
difficulties which beset them, not despair
ing of the Republic,, they will still perse
vere in the use of every propet and effi
cient means for the peaceful adjustment
of this unhappy which may
be within their power as one of the sov
ereign members of this confederacy, or
which may result from consultation and
conference with their sister States,- having
a common interest tviih them in this mat
lor. That taking tho payment of (he na
tional debt, as the period after which the
present tariff of duties, so far as it trans
cends the purpese of revenue, and is de
signed for (he protection of domestic ma
nufactures, caa find no plausible pretext
in our constitutional charter, they are
willing to wait until Congress shall have
full time deliberately to determine wheth
er they will reduce and equalize the duties
ou foreign imports, su as to bring the- in
come of the Government within -the lim
its of revenue, and Xo Collect the contri
butions, of our cititeos on the principles of
just taxation. That having regard to the
interests of (hose whose capital has been
invested in manufactures, during the pro
gress of that course of legislation of which
they complain, they are willing that the
reduction and equalization of duties which
they ask should be prospective and grad
ual, and fearfully admonished, as they
have been by experience of the fallacy of
tbeir past hopes for relief from the evils
under which they suffer,- they will still
look to the justice and patriotism of their
brethren of the manufacturing States.
9. That the people .of Georgia cannot
submit to the permanent protection of
domestic manufactures by duties imposed
for that purpose on the importtion of for
eign manufactures and especially on such
as are among the necessaries of life:—
that they cannot submit to the adoption
of the principle on which §uch duties are
imposed, as a parmanent principle of fed
eral policy—but feel bouod to resist the
same by the exercise of all their rights
as eue of the sovereign members of the
confederacy-rand by , consultation aud*
coucerr with their sister states, having
like interest with ’themselves, and dis
posed to unite wish them in resistance
to thi? principle.
10. That it be respectfully recommeo
ded to the several Southern States, hav
ing a common interest with us in the
removal of the grievances under which
we labor, from the protective system, to
assemble in Convention by Delegates
from the respective States, corresponding,
to the number of their Representatives in
Congress, and elected for that .purpose
on the third Monday in March next to
coiifer together on the subject of these
grievances, and to recommend to the
people of tbeir respective States such
measures as may best conduce to the
removal of the same-r-otul that the place
of such meeting be determined by cerres
pondence between tbe Delegate* elected
to said Convention.
11. That the Clerks of the Superior
Courts in the several counties be reques
ted to open a register iu their several of
fices, and that the citizens of each coun
ty be requested to attend at said offices,
and enrol their names on the said register,
expressing their approbation or disappro

\V« think it to stnpA-hat we per- 1
sonally tho fact, tliyt many of tbn
Delegates who remained, are with t»s on the
main question. They remained, because they
thought the people of their respective counties
expected them to do something, and they were
unwilling, therefore, bv seceding, to disappoint
this expectation. They are as decidedly oppos
ed to Nullification as those who left the body,
and are in favor of a Southern Convention.—
Nullification is a term so little used now iu Mil
ledgeville, that ive are the less surprised at Mr.
Spalding’s want of recollection - State action’
is now the great ‘ bugaboo,' the great ‘ no
known’or lather ‘ incomprehensible’ of the big
men at the Seat of Government, who have found
(he people scarcely willing to touch with the
tongs tbe doctrine ot Nullficat’on, by that beau
tiful name.
There is an incident tiT too much interest not"
to notice.—When theA3- were leaving the House
Judge Jole.igon rote ad followed. Such a rear
guard was an honor to the cause.

Representative Chamber .. j
‘ The sitting of the Convention, .noticed*'
in my las', con'inued till past 7 o’clock,
without taking the vote on the vital ques
tion embraced in F resolutions.
Mr Berrien’s amendment, I think, 1 gave
you in substance. It was evidently a de
ceptive proposition, intended to commit
theCouvention to act. While the commit
tee was preparing their report, the Con
vention might have discussed iis business
and gone home; for it was imnua’erial t >
when this committee should report, as
that report was to have no effect on that
body, but was merely to be appended to
the account of the proceedings of the
Convention, and with them submitted to
the-people for their approval. The dis
cussion embraced eyqry thing in the res-'
solutions and amendment and every thing
out of them. The Tariff, Libert*-, Nul
lification, and I do not know what did
not engage the, attention aod fife the
tongue in this excited meeting. Col Cura
qijng was called to order and attempted,"
by repeated calls, to be eonfased in the
tenor of his remark*. A member object
ed to what he was saying as personal
.Torrance said, he hoped the gentleman*
would be permitted to be if he*
chose;-to which the Colonel replied* in*
his peculiar manner, that he had not in- '
tended to be so; but when he intended to
be personal, he would ask permission of
no one. This one and that one rose, to ;
call gentlemen to order, who were making
appeals to the passions, when, as a ques
tion of order was the point, they should
have been paying their respects to logic;
Among these was Mr Spalding, who while
be was repioviog others,- was exemplify
ing bow much easier it is to find fault than"
give example. He himself was called to or
der, as he concluded his inflammatory ad- '
dress, and taking his seat before the chair
could order him, cried out, “I'm down,
sir; I’m down,” to the great amusement
of the assembly. Col Cumming, no doubt
from what I could gather*, from the drift of
his beginning, intended to take a survey
of the late political course of Judges'
Clayton and Berrien, and their frieod*.
