NEWS-BOYS’ ADDRESS
To the Patrons of the
CSO&GXA COURIER.
OttcE more its annual course, the Sun,
With rapid flight its round lifts run— ■
Or rather, we’d more truly say,
The Karih has run its destin’d way— /
Hound its bright-ceiftre—tilt tve see,
Bright eighteen handffedHlttffy three
'Dawn oh otir eyes with cheerful light,
Commanding jws tn speak or write.
Those salutations we should pay,
To all our fiieuds on New Year’s day—
That day which we News Carriers hail,
As one which scarce can ever fail,
To bring us comfort—for we find,
’©o New Year’s day, our fi ientls are'Kind—
’Tis then they let us feel and see
They’re pleas’d with our fidelity—
That they remember how we strive,
Thro’ wet and dry, to keep alive
That interest which news-papers give—
Which helps News Carriers, too,‘to live.
Our'paper, ‘tis tvell known, conveys
Pleasure in sure and certain wavs—
It gives, without the loss of time,
The “ latest news,” In prose or rhyme. *
And thug most faithfully makes known,
How things in our wide world go on—
liow our bless’d country thrives and grows,
Ho'Sv comfortthroligh all quarters flows—
How one with half an eye may See
On every side prosperity— •* '
Ami how those, therefore, should repent,
Who midst such blessings, not content,
Have murmur’d with ungrateful voice,
When 'reason bid them to rejoice,
NOT have ns patriots shoo’d,
Thanks Tortheirbwn, and country’s good.
’Twouldaieedless be for us to sny,
How soon a year has pass’d away
Our readers, doubtless, realize.
That Time with hasty movement flies,
So that the hour 'we’d call our own
la scarce possess’d, before r tis gone—
Quick as it goes. Events we know
Onward are travelling with it too—
Some go to be recall’d no more;
Some are laid up in mem’ry’s store;
Some give us joy that they occur’d ;
Os sortie we mourn we ever heard ;
Some that we think of make us irterry j
Sonin in oblivien’s tomb we’d bury—.
And thus our onward course, we see>
is checker’d with variety, J.
Last night, at twelve, we badeadieki
To eighteen hundred thirty-two—
But though ’tis gone, its Various capels
Are all recorded in our papers-*
And these ingeu’tal we expect
OUr readers clearly recollect;
But still we feel somewhat inclin’d
Some few again to bring to mind.
Perhaps in this onr annual lay
We should not pass the Cholera—
That dreadful scourge whose force has hurl’d
Thousands and millions from our world,
And stmt thetti with short notke wherfc
No further changes they will share—
Where they’ll eternally remain -
In endless joy, nr ceaseless pain
This awful scourge, within last year,
Had its commission to appear— -
Within our States, find by its power,
Many were cutoff in an bobr
Some who beheld « morning sun
E’re noon with earthly things were done—
And some whose noon was gay and bright,
Enter’d eternity e’re night—
Thus calliug With expiring breath,
\ On all, to be prepar’d for Death;
But we with grateful hearts relate,
That this disease reach’d m»t our State-*
A kind o’eruling Providence
Kept this calamity far hence,
Nor let its desolating reign
Within our borders footing gain.
When Fancy over Europe ranges,
To bring to iftiod' the last year’s changes.
There more we find has coifle to pes*
Than we can detail in our verte—
Os most of these we’ll little say,
Things pass abroad in their own way—
We know each foreign government,
Ofl-its own good it always bent-,
Nor cares for others good, bid when
Such good, promotes its oirn again.
Something of Holland we might say,
Something of Spain and Austria,
Might add a word or two of Prussia,
And some of cold and heartless Russia;
For eold and heartless was this power.
When in revengeful fitful hour,
She on brave Poland’s suff’ring bands.
Stretch'd forth her desolating hsiifts,
And then to cruel banishment *
The old and young together sent.
We too mifhrfpeak a word, perchance,
Os England; tiSRPa' word cf Franco—
For in both nations things occur’d
Worthy- a plstfce in out* recood—
Still after these we Will not roam,
But think of matters nearer home.
Cowgrest, 'tis known, sat long last year,
The members spoke so long and clear,'
That some folks thought ’twas scarce intended
To hayo the talkiug session ended—
Speeches were made of various kinds, '
By various tneo, of Various mladsf
Some were most powerful for strangtl),
Some rather noted for their length;
Some had in view the public good,
And some macli party feeling allow’d;
For party feelings ilo, and may \ y
To Congress Halt find easy way, ""N v
And call forth contests whose chief merit,
It-their eWetioneeriog spirit.
Some worag'in Congress spoke, ’tis said,
Gauthdeur'df doors a broken head,
Or caus’d a blow by which ’twas known
A worthy roenrbor'was knock'd down-* 4
One who "Had state and in debat e'.
That some folks aim’d to speculate
On Uncle Sam. and then to share,.
His dollars with a prudent care—
For Dude’s funds, full many know,
Do sometimes pretty freely ffl»w;
Yet such things publish’d to the nation;
’Twas thought might cause some botheration r
Therefore,’twas deemed the speaker’s pate
Should pay for tales told in debate,
And that his bead should well be pounded,
To prove his story was unfouuded.
But arguments like these, ’tis clear,
Can scarcely make the truth appear—
They I Te forcible, Indeed, hut then
Art not 1 approved by pruOeut men ;
NW should they, to the least extent,
Be sanction’d by thy Government. £
Though should sndi system e’re prevail,
‘Tisjjrobwble it would not fail,
Tnaid, at least, in some degree.
The science of phrenology :
For then the outsido of the head
Must be examined, e’re ’twas said
A man for Congress would be fit,
As on the head he might be hit;
Therefore his " head bttmps,” otight to show
H?w he’d receive, or hear a bfaiw ;
That those to Congress rtlight be going
Whose heads were hard, as well as knowing;
And who Were'as'it might be seen
, ” Half horse half alligator men,”
Who touch’d With steamboats mighty power,
A “snapping turtle” could devour.
But, seriously, ’tis hoped that we,
No more of |-<funding heads'shali see.
The nation’s credit and its peace,
Require that all such things shoo’d cense.
One subject in last year’s debates
The Bank oftlie United States—
A Mention claim’d with hot a few
Who wish'd its Charter to renew;
But some did zeal and art employ
The Bank completely to destroy-;
And one affirmed “ it could not pay”
Its Bills in any honest way—
And its affairs to serbtinize,
Committees were, with searching eye*
Appointed to investigate'**
And candidly the truth to state,
Which, when obtjdn’d Congress intended,
The charter should be still extended
For some years longer, as it wou’d 3.
Be as they thought, a public good.,
Rot for their views it soon appear’d
The Prfkident was not prepar’d :
The Veto Message spoke hit will
Told that he disapprov'd the bill,
And that he in ter did intend
. A ‘Banking project to befriend.
Unless with his advice 'twas fram'd
And'in ildvance liis sanction gain’d.
Th.: Veto, some Bank folks astounded,
The Charter advocates confounded,
Who hop’d that by'their labhrs still
They’d pass their favor’d Charter Bill;
But still if not, that its rejection
Would influence the uext election ; |
That He who had the Bill rejected
Would not himself be re-elected:
Or if lie we,re, they hop’d toTmci,
He for the Bank was more inclin’d :
But now it seems however strange
In these respects there’ll be no change—
The President and Bpok at e where
Both seem’d tobethis time last year,
Yet still‘important it must he
so have a sound Bunk currency
One which should freely circulate * f
And freely pass in ev’iy state ;
One Which however far it went
Should truly Specie 'represent,
For sometimes Banks we know there are,
Which seem of Specie Tattler bh're,
A proof of which, or "we’re mistaken
Was furnished by the Bank of Macon ;
That Bank, whose swindling seems to be
Involv’d in secret mystery
Its Bills ’tis known throughout ortr state,
And others too did circulate,
Till very large amounts Were found
Scatter’d in « wide ‘circle round—
And then nt'once the Bank ’(would seem,
Would not a single Bill redeem ;
Thas robbtrtg, by a scheme decided
All who,had in its Bills confided,
And fraud, by wholesale thus promoting
As far afe Macort bills were floating.
We might some other things relate
Which haW occur*’d in our own slate.
Might of the Oglethorpe Convention,
Here, were it needful something mentioft,
At which tit said was Some repeating
Os Speeches made at Athens meeting:
But though these meetings both were Great
The benefit they did the State,
Is pot to our weak view so clear,
That we ban eulogise it here.
But neither meeting did w« know;
Succeed in making doctrine* go,
Which some, upon onr people wuu’d
HaVe palm’d for sound tines, if they con'd.
In vain howe’er did zea>ots try,
Plain common sense to nullify,
Iti vain the politician’s pari
Was play’d, with eloquence anti ari,
And vainly one with warmth pi-bclaitH’d
“ Who dallies sneaks, who doubts Is danm’d."
The people still the course pursu’d
Os safety, and the public good.
lu future years should meetings be
in Athens held, we hope to see
All party politics expell’tl,
And such association* held,
Al science will approve and c laird
As aidS to li erary fame.
That seat where rests our thriving College
Where yoiiths afe seut t’ extend their knowledge
Should without fail forever be
From polites entirely free.
Let learning flourish (here, and when
Each year brings forth soide learned (fieri,
With minds well stor'd, and heart* at ease,
With kindest wishes all to please;
Will: numbers eft!.eir kindred youtli,
In love with order and with truth,
Then shall kie see with joyful eyes
Our College grow, and realise
Those blessings which we feel and know,
Should from the Institution now.
It nee.| not to our friends be told
How lotteries for land and gold,
Have in our State been organized,
By plans, which our wise meo advis’d—
How tiptoe stands anticipation, m
In hopes, some happy prize location
Would by the turn of lottery whefri,
Make th<j expectant joy ful feel;
For encii announcement of h prize,
Brightens some speculator’s eyes.
ThoSfe who a' prize can justly claim
As fairly drawn against their name*
May well receive it, and they may
Dispose of it in their own way—
But let noise think they’ll ever be,
Better’d, by draws made wrongfully.
In proof of which we know Mis said
A fraud contrived by sapient head,
Was in that lottery drawing now,
Aim’d to be consummated so,
That Shadrack Bogan should get prizes,
Os tracts of land of various sizes,
A’ntf thtis should grffw both rich and great
By frauds he’d practic’d on the State.
But cheating prospers not it seemif.
Far Shadrach’s golden lottery dreams, m
Led smoothly on, without restriction,
To his impeachment and convictiod.
Which clearly proves that honesty
Is always the best policy;
That rogues however they may strivh,
Will seldom by their projects thrive
'Tis clear no dfaw 1 Could Shadrack claim, *
Without destroying another name;
So he’d defraud with open eyes,
Those who by right, might claim a prize,
Whose names destroy'd—t'heir chance was gone,
Such names could not, again he drawn'.
Little in this our annual lay
Os Nullification we would say,'
And with it also little too,
We hqp e our friends will have to do—'
And vev we’re sorry to relat'd
That in aniueh lov'd sister State
Ihir doctritvd strange has far progress’d •
And many a thaugbtlesShead possess'd;
And many too oi sense profound!
Among its advocau, are found
Wb* labor much win» heart and head,
This fatal heresy to spread:
But while their ardor ufc t* S pect
Their principles we must reject,
For after long mature reflection
We’ve to their reasoning one ol>j«cuaJr
We own their Eloquence is strong-
Butdeem if Radically wrohO ;
-Tending howe’er it may be meant
/To overthrow the Government!
Let no one think it will elate
Or benefit a single State.
Madly to break the Golden chain
By which as one our States remain ;
For if once broken who can know
How far Disunion's rage may go 1
Our " Slate Rights” ore secure, while we
Act at ire ought, unitedly.
We nsk our friends to look around—
Cause of complaint is no where found,
But growing peace and happiness
Does all our pe op I bless;
Why not in quiet then remain
How with such blessingsdnre complain ; ,
Blessings more perfect we all know
Can scarce be look’d for here below:
How is it then that any shou’d,.
Such blessings slight for ternd'd g-bod t
What can be grin and hovm/jp* o try
The Nation’s laws, to NuTKiy ?
No good co'uld follow Ham the deed,
If such mad "project shou’d succeed; *
We should for ear success relent,
For what w«'e got we should repent;
Our gain would be a loss, and tlfen
Our toss we never could regain. " . '
Tvien let (is with a firm intent,
Cling Closely to our Government,
That Government, which firmly stands
When aH the States, ns kindred baud*
Unite ns one..and all agree,
qjev will be u/rivv, great and free.
Apd now perhaps each gen’rous friend
Is willing that our'verse shou’d end
So that their faithful .carrier may
Receive their Gift on New Year’s day;
We’ll take it then, but first express,
Our hope, that health our friends may bless
That each may many years enjoy, *
Much earthly good without alloy—
That none may ever teel or know
The want of comfort here below,
But may through life forever find
Virtue’s reward, true -peace of ininil;
And when from earth they’re call’d away ! .
To see no more a New Year’s day,
.That they may thenexulting rise
To brighter joys beybnd the skies.

From the floston Daily Advertised.
Tanelhl hall meeting.
lion. Dxn'ike Webster then addtessod
Hie meeting as follows :
Mr. Chairman— Having been detained
Ht home a few days after the meeting of
Congress, by the noceskity of attending to
sortie private aff-tirs, 1 have been induced
to delay my departure, for another day,
that 1 Aright be .present at the meeting of
my fellow-citizens. Whens look around
me on ’he members, who fill these galle
ries‘and crowd this hall, I thank Almighty.
God, that I may still address them as cili
%ens of the United States. The same,
almigTity power only knows, whether,
or when we meet again, it will not be as
citfecnsof Massachusetts only. The pre
sent is a moment full of interest. LVents
are on the wing, Are already neftr US’,
which must produce the most important
affects, one way .or the other, on.the per
manency of the Constitution of the United
Slates. I regard the issuing of this Pro
clamation by the President as a highly
important occurrence. The actual condi
tion of ihe country, in my opinion,—an •
opinion heretefoie expressed’,—called
loudly on the President t« make public
his determination to .rebuke the spirit es
‘disaffection, tn maintain the peace of the
country, and the integrity •( the Union,
and to call on all patriotic citizens to dis-.
countenance all such proceedings as threat -
ened to destroy the one’, or disturb the
other.
Mr. Chairman, the general principles
of the Proclamation are such as I entirely
approve. 1 esteem them to be the true
principles of the Constitution. It must
nbw be apparent to every man, that this
doctrine of nbllificaiioh means resistance
to the laws, by force. It is but another
heme for civil war The authors of the
South Carolina Ordinance cannot regard
it as a peaceable measure { they act if
they under9iobd li as being, what it rea
jy is, a measure leading to hostilities.
They must Uritlg son a Contest,
and accordingly, they have endeavored to
prepare for that conleit; putting in a slhie
of readiriess tHfe Whole iriiiitarjr power of
ihe State. Every dittn Hiulff see that
they rely, Hot on any Constitutional or le
gal effect of tlie ordinance Itself piit on the
military power, which they natty be able
to brirtf to m:iinu in them iu their iesiX
tanct ib the laws.
Mr, Chairman, I hope I may stand
acquitted before tdy country of tiny neg
ligence in failing t« give the true* char
acter of this doctrine of nullification whfcu
it was firet advanced, in an imposiog form
in the Halls of Congress. What it then
appeared to me to be, in its very nature
it new proves itfcelf, in this, the fi>st At
tempt to put it ia practice. It is resistance
to law, by force : it is disunion by force,
it is secession by forte. It is Civil Wafr. J
The president has declared, that iu
meeting the exigencies of (bis crisis,' it is
his determination to execute (he laws, to
preserve the Union, by all constitutional
means to arrest* if passible, by moderate
but fair Pleasures, the necessity of a re
source to force ; and so to couduc , that
the curse, impending On the Shedding of
fraternal blood, shall not be called down
by any offensive act, on the part of the
United States. In all this,' I Most cor
dially concur.—To execute the la’ws; by
lawful means, la uphold tho Constitution
by the joint eiercise of the powers con
ferred by itself, to be moderate, forbear
ing, slow toiecur to ultimate measures,
to admonish such as ate misled to return
to their duty, to keep the Government
always in the right, and te place those
who oppose it clearly in the wrong, and
to hold out, with unshaken firmness, in
maintaining the Uoion, and causing the
laws to be aoly executed ;• —these Sir, in
my opinion, comprise the substance of the
duty which the occasion devolves upon
the Chief Magistrate of the nation.
Mr. Chairman—l think I dan say no
thing mftre satisfactory to this meeting, or
to the people of this commonwealth', than
that, in this way of meeting the crisis. I
shall give the President my entire end
.cordial support.' Sir. we are truly in a
crisis of the Utmost magnitude, and the
most imnfment petit. The Union of the
States is in danger.' ft is threatened by
<he immediate application of military
forde, Cel os not, Sir, deceive ourselves
by the imaginatibn that the Union may
subsist, tho’ one State secede from it.
No, sir. If the Government, on this
first trial, shall be found not able to keep
uh the States in their proper places, from
that taotnam the whale Union is virtu
ally dissolved.—Whatever link be struck
from this golden drain, breaks the whole,’
Our only alterative is, to presetve the I
Union, <w»e and entire, as if. now is, or !
else ip ureal; tip and to return to the con
jtt*ion of separate States ; with the un
promising chances of farming hereafter
new, partial, sectional, rival, ,perhaps
hostile governments ; thus bidding adieu,
forever, not only to the glorious idea, bi t
to tho glorious realty, of The United
States of America.
Mr. Cha'irman, in this alternative, my
choice is made, iam for the Union, as
it is. lam cunieht with no Government
less than that which ehnbracAs the whole
Four and Tweniy States, lam for the
Constitution, as it id, n Constitution un
der which those Fotfr and Twenty States
have risen to a height of prosperity, un
exampled, altogether unexampled, in the
history of mankind. I shall support the
President, in maintaining thisTjnion, and
this Constitution-; and the cause shall not
fail for want of any nid, any effort, or a
ny zealous co-operation of mine. In the
spirit ol fHe resolutions, now before the
meeting, I say, when the standard of the
Union is raised, and waves over my head
—the standard tvhich VVashington plan
ted on the ramparts of the Constitution;
God forbid that I should inquire whom
thn people have commissioned to unfurl it
and bear it up ; I only usk in. what man
ner, as bn humble individual, I can best
discharge my duty in defending it.

NEWSTROM WASHINGTON
We have seyeral letters from Washing-.
Ton, extracts of which we hasten to lay
before our readers. VVe cannot for one
momdnt doubt, that the Tariff will be con
siderably reduced—perhaps during this
session to the bill of 1816—or, if it should
be defeated by the present session, that
the president will immediately after its
expiration, hasten to call tho 23d Con
gress—who, assemble under tne new cen
sus, composed of mere members, many
new ones, many uncommitted, and more
from New York, New Jersey, G4iio, &c.
friendly to the views of the administration
will meet under more favorable auspiefes,
will readily listen to the demands ol jos "
tice, and yield reliefto tile suffering South.
We understand that (he President is pre
pared to caii the new Congress together
early in the year.
Under such circumstances, what does
the plainest dictate of duty prescribe? Is
it that S. Carolina should rush on to ihe
execution of her Ordinance, on the Ist
of Febuary? Or, that sho should wait one
more more fair and resolute experiment?
And, is it not also the duty of Virginia,
to throw herself as soon as possible into
the breach—to ntediato between the con
tending parties parties— to rertionstrate
in friendly terms with S. Carolina,against
the course she is taking—to request hm
to pause—to unite with us in o airohgqjuU,
and a pull all together), against the Tariff,
«tnd to give her the best evidence of the
sincerity with which we will press ort to
the conflict, by forthwith instructing our
Senators’, in ihe.mosi urgent terms; to 'de
mand relief? .Can South Carolina reject
such a call? Or can we hesitate to act
with as much promptitude as possible, to
lay such a mediation before Sfouth Caro
lina l Time is precious.—Chn any man
doubt itt While tlie kwo parties are
now arrayed against each other—while
proclamation is met by proclamation ;
troops by troops —and one party in §outb
Carolina herself, arrayed against another?
while wfi hear language so violent, and,
we must be permitted to sajr; in su,cb bad
taste, from Mr. Preston, on the floor of
S. Carolina Legislature—while we know
not what a day may bring forth—how
soon even accident may baffle the fruits
of the best designs—-is it not expedient/or
us to act as soon as possible ? Beside*;
some time is necessary to (hurry out the
plan «f mediation.--Both Houses of our
Legislature are to act on the Resolutions
Commissioners are to be appointed
tlie Convention of South Carolina is again
to be sunmionhd—the Ordinance is to be
discussfed, perhaps before it be suspended.
And the fatal Ist of Febuary may he up*
on us, before all these objects can be ac
complished.
ERRORS: EXCEPTED.
The ” Baltimore Patriot” says, that
u Gov. Floyd is wholly witluhenul-
Hlers of South Carolina; and no doubt a
considerable portion of the House ®f Del
egates tii|l| feel disposed, from ancient
associations, and from the force of ancient
a °d cherished dogmas, to favor the
sattit side of the question.— But we pre
sume, the necHsity 0 f preserving the U
nion, find consequently its supremacy, in
collisions betwe& thal and th „
States; wflf make s „ c |, an appeal to the
practical intelligent. „f that body, as to

statement that Gen. Brodnax is one of the

mistake. We know that Gen. B. Is,
strongly opposed to the whole heresy of
Nullification. His resolutions disclaimed
it—and by name —but for some reason or
pother the Committee of 21 struck out the
word; -while they preserved their protest
against “ the remedy,” pursued by S.
Carolina.— Richmond Enquirer.
We have devoted a large portion of
this day's paper to the proceedings of the
HOise of Delegates.—The render willi
perceive, that the resolution of the Com
mittee of 21 have been postponed till
Thursday next. He will also see the
reasons which were assigned for the post
ponement. There are a few passages in
,tfiem, particularly the Tth-and Bth reso
lution, concerning which there seems much
diversity ofopinion, in and out of doors.
It is highly probable, that these may
undergo some modification.^—The great
features of a protest against the Tariff; of,
dissent to Nulliheation ; exceptions to cer
tain parts of the Proclamation ; Commis
sioners to South Carolina,and instructions
to our Senators, <£*c. will probably be re
tained iu aqy resolutions which may be
adopted—but what form fiiey will ulti
mately assume, it is impossible to conjec

JLITEST FROM FRANCEr
The arrival yesterday afternoon, of the
Fr. ship Susannah Marie, Capt. Biimle
gontf, from Havre, from whence she sail
ed on the 13th Nov. puts us in possession
of files of Havre papers to the 12th Nov.
and Galignani’s (Paris) Messenger to the
TO th, ho ill inclusive.
The Convention en’ered into between
France and England, for the settlement
of the difficulties between Holland and
Belgium, signed at 'London, oh the 22d
Oct. and published in the London papers
of the Bth Nov. provides, (bat as further

eluded upon by the Five powers at Lon

Europe, Fiance an<l England have deter

the otfier powers arfc not prepared to con

The Ist Art. notifies the King of the
Netherlands, that he must eb'er into an

his troops from Belgium by the 12th of
that month"—and that ibe like course must
be pursued by the Belgian King—and in
default of the compliance oi either, mea

The 2d Art. provides so«- an embargo

with the prescribed terms.

The Louden Globe is of opinion, that
the King of Holland will be compelled to
evacuate Antwerp in 15 days.
The British Govertiment have issued an
Order in Council, dated 6th Nov. laying
an embargo on all Dutch vessels in the
ports of England; or which may hereafter
enter any of the ports, harbors or rivers ol

lands, taking all proper care to preserve
the cargoes and property on board, and
prevent any damage or embezzlement
whatever. An embargo had also been
laid on all Dutch vessels, iu the ports of
France. The British government,
they take the must decided measures to
euferce their agreement, shew every dis
position to settle the difficulties which now
exist; and Prussia is said to be exerting
every influence to induce the Dutch Kiug
lo concede. ,
The object of the King of Holland in
resisting the requisition of the Allied Pow
ers, is said to be a tVhh to retain posses
sion of the Citadel of Antwerp, or the
exclusive navigation of the Scheldt.
Prussia, it is said, will enter Holland
only to make common cause with her; a
gainst the French and English. The
London Chronicle doubts this Statement,
as these Powers are only execuuugthe
measures adopted by the combined Five
Powers of which.,Prussia was one. The
Augsburg Gazette of the 4th ult. in ac
counts from the frontiers ot Poland, slates
that considerable movements had been
observed in the Russian Army in that
country, and it was presumed that the Bel
gian question was the cause of these mave
ments; magazines were also forming ou
the south-western frontier of Poland.
T.he idea of of submission on the part
of Holland, which is calculated on by
some, is said to be without foundation, as
it is said, {hat beside the declaration of the
King at Antwerp will not be surrendered,
which is positive, letters state that it has
become a national point with his subjects,
and that be canpot recede if he would.

EIGHTH OF JANUARY
CELEBRATION.
A meeting will be held to-morrow
evening at the Eagle aod Phoenix Hotel,
a! 7 o’clock, to make arrangements for
the celebration of the Anniversary of tho
Battle of New Orleans. *
The indignation, felt aotfexpressed, nt
the disgraceful position of our country’s
flag on tire IVm. Seabrook, has been uni
versal. Every caste of political opinion
has united, with, true American feeling,'
to denounce such an indignity. Nothing'
has kept down the just indignation of the*
public, but the bare possibility that it was
accidental. That it was reversed with a*
revolutionary Jack over it, and the noto
rious Ex-Governor on beard, no one shall
deny; for it was so seen, and seen with
boifiCtg blood, by gentlemen whose eyes
could not and did not deceive them.
That the respectable agent of the boat
and others did riot see it, no one will ques
tion, because tbfty say they did not; but
is such negative testimony to cooiradict
the positive evidence of those who did see
it? No, the fact is unquestionable, and
it behooves Cipt. Dubois , and the own*
ers of the W*. Seabrook, to satisfy an
insulted public that it was unintentional—
the effect of puie accident. While we
speak fur ourselves, wo know we utter
