ABSENT FRIENDS.
Enlightened hope is to be free
From mortal bonds and earthly thrill;
And such, or soon or late shall lie
Full oft (lie heart-breathed sigh of all;
Anil when life’s Infest sands we rove,
With faltering foot and aching breast,
Shall sigh for wings that waft the dove,
To flee away and be at rest.
While hearts are young and hopes are high.
A fairy dream doth life appear;
Its sights are beauty to the eye,
Its sounds are music to the ear;
But soon it glides from youth to age;
And of its joys no mare possessed,
We, like the captives of the cage,
Would flee away and be at rest.
Is ours fair woman’s angel smile;
All bright and beautiful as day?
So of her cheek and eye the while,
Time steals the rose and dims the ray;
She wanders in the spirit’s land,
And we, witli speechless grief oppressed,
As o’er the faded form we §tand,
Would gladly share her place of rest.
Beyond the hills—beyond the sea—
Ob! for the pinions of a dove;
Oh! for the morning’s wings to flee, .
Away and be with them I love;
When all is fled that’s bright aiyl fair,
And life is but a wintery wasto,
This, at last must be our prayer,
To flee away and be at rast.
From the Washington Globe,
We would not have noticed ilio silly
(rash of the New York Spy, abou t tho o
potation of the revenue collection bill,
upon the Cherokee country, had we not
seen that in respectable prints his state
ment was considered worthy of refutation.
The National Gazette has correctly said
there is no case depending,and has given
its views of the effect of the act upon ihis
matter. But the whole subject, and all
ihe assertions concerning “it. are unwor
thy serious examination. This will be
apparent on a moment's examination of
ihe law.
The 4'h and 5 b sections are those,
which it is said, w 11 operate on the Cher
okee question, and constitute the trap in
which die President is kindly supposed
to have caught hini>elf. Let us see. The
4th section simply provides for the remo
val of the record or case from the State
Court to that of the United Stales. With
this of course the Executive has no con
cern. Ais interposition can never be re
quired, for the act expressly defines the
mode in which the omission shall bq sup
plied, in case tire State Court fails to
send (lie record.
The 5 1 h section is the one which au
thorizes the employment of military force
but unfortunately for the truth ofall these
bog-hear stories, this section is expressly
limited in its operation to the end of the
next Session of Congress. Now indepen
dently of the very conclusive review ta
ken in the National Gazette of the im
possibility of tire Chernkees maintaining
a suit in the Supreme Court of the Uni
ied States, it is to sufficient say, that no
case involving those questions exists in a
ny Court whatever. Grant the Supreme
Court the most ample jurisdiction over
this whole subject, and grant what the
Court has expressely disclaimed, tire right
ot the Cherukees to uppeur before them
every one who knows any thing of judi
cial proceedings knows 'it is impossible
to institute a suit in one of the Stale
Courts, to carry it to the highest Court
of law or equity of the State, whence on
ly in all cases, except those relating to
the revenue, it can be removed, and
from there to the Supreme Couit of the
United States, procure a final judge
ment thereon; have process issued; ihe
execution thereof obstructed; die proceed
ings thereon directed by the statute take
place; tbe facts reported tat Lie President;
(be proclamation issued requiring live ob
structions to be removed; a neglect or
refusal to comply with such proclamation
end then call out the military under (his
law, before the end of tire next Session of
Congress. All these must be done be
fore the President could interfere. It is
not pretended lhatin any of the interme
diate stages of the proceedings, anv force
would bo interposed ti obstruct the pro
cess. Aad when all this is done, if it e
ver should be done, we presume the
President weuld look at bis constitutional
duty, and examine the whole matter un
der the Consu’utioD,and Jaws.
We hope we have said enough to allay
all the apprehensions of those, who have
in such a spirit of amity, conjured up this
phantom to trouble the country.
Tremendous shocks ol Eat thquakes were felt
thro’ the Island of Dominica, (W. I.) on the Bih
February. Much damage had been done to
houses, and the inhabitants of St. Christ pber
were in a state of dreadful alarm
From the Washington dole, March 21 lh.
A NEW DEMONSTRATION
Mr Calhoun and his coadjutors found
their conspiracy against the Union pre
mature. Every Southern State sot thuir
faces against bis scheme, in despite ol lit
tle knots of Nullifiers set to wot k in each
to produce a different result. The failuie
lias’ibduced a retrogade movement, bn*
the project of a Southern league and sep
aration is not abandoned. To gain time
and support, Mr Calhoun has patched up
a truce with Mr Clay, and accepted
terms which would have been scorned, it
proposed by the Head of the Govern
ment. Now, under the auspices of their
“great ally of the west,” who has impar
ted*h 11 the iespectability to their cause,
which his name and inlluence can bi ing
to it,ihey enter upon a naw course. The
Telegraph, which had live vote ol Mr C.
and his friends in the Senate, to redeem
its sinking reputation, thus breaks ground
in opening the trenches against tlie Uui
on.
“THE INAUGURAL
“Without union our independence and
liberty wouid never have been achieved
wiihout uoion theycan never bemaiiitained
Divided in twenty-four, or even in a
smaller number of separate communities,
we shall see our internal trade burdened
with numberless restraints and exactions
communication between dislant points and
sections obstructed, or cot off; our sons
made soldiers to deiuge with blood tbe
fields they now till in peuce; the mass o'
our people borne down and impoverished
by taxes to support armies and navies;
and military leaders at the head of their
victorious legions becoming our law giv
ers and judges. The loss of liberty, of
all good government, of peace, and hap
piness, must inevitably follow a dissolu
tion of the Union.”
On this tbe Telegraph thus comments;
We are further told that we must “dis
counance whatever may suggest even a
aopicion that it [ lie Union,] cap in Any
Event be abaudoned.
Are these the principles of the republi
can party? Are these to be the practic
al principles of tbe administration of Gen.
Jackson? Are they congenial wi h the
theory and genius of the Constitution?
If they be, then how vain and foolish, &
wicked have beet} those whom we have
hitherto treasured in our hearts and mem
orius as ilio great advocates of liberty &
the rights of the States.
Truly did the elder Adams say, that
“ republicanism meant any thing, or no
thing;” if these principles oneto be consi
dered as held by republicans.
Let the views here presented, be but
once fully impressed upon the public
mind, and at once all hope will be de
stroyed of preserving the rights of the
States, or defending the minority from
the oppressions of the majority.
We are here distinctly told that, not in
any case can the Union be abandoned.
The reader will observe, that thr» par
ticular sentiment seized on by the Tele
graph for animadversion,is a passage quo
ted verbatim from Washington's farewell
address , and adopted in the late Inaugur
al Address by General J icksnn. Wash.,
ir/gtou conjures his coun'rymen “to
DISCOUNTENANCE WHATEVER MAY SUG
GEST EVEN A SUSPICION THAT IT [THE
Uni >n can in any eveNt be abandon
ED.”
President Jackson adopts the senti
ment in the very which it was ottered
by the father of his country, and enforces
ii by tiie considerations, which arc given
in connoci-iont wi/h it.
Duff Green, then, boldly denounces
the idea in the extract we have given,
and the whole tone an! tenor of tire arti
cle proves that the design of the party
whom fie serves, is to alienate the aflVc
tions of the South from the Union;
and ns a first st£p, the attempt
is made to eradicate from the mind of the
people the reverence Entertained by them
for the piecepts of Washington. This
the Telegraph does by the usual nullify
ing erv against the tyranny of the major
ity. He says, “You have it [the theory
of such a Goverment] all laid down in
one short dictum—obey the majorityl obey
the majori‘y\" This ho is determined
not to do, and thus argues (he policy of a
dissolution of the Union :
“Rut this is not all. We are here told
that without Union the people of the U
tlited States could not preserve their inde
pendence and liberty. That the loss of li
berty, of peaco, plenty, and happiness
would be certain to result from the people
formingthemselvgs into more than onecom
munity. Was grosser ignorance of the
nature of man, of the history of political
institutions, of the genius and principles
of our Government,ever exhibited? What
a commentary on our institutions. What
a satire on the attempt of the people to
govern themselves!
If such he the nature of man, that lie
cannot govern himself, nor preset vo his
liberty, peace, and h ippiuess, while he
terms a portion of a community, occuping
less apace than those occupied by the
people of the United Slates, how vain are
| the hopes that, by the diffusion of koowl
; edge, the people of Eiiropo may one day
i or oilier be enabled to form free institu
tions? France and England have the most
sanguine hopes, but how caD they pre
serve their libm ties and independence in
their confined boundaries, if we the peo
ple of (lie United States must lose ours,
if we should think proper to form two dis
tinct communities. The people of the
United States occupy a territory larger
than England, Ireland, Portugal, Spain
France, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Bel
gium,and all Germany combined. We see
there many distinct communities preserv
iog'tbeir independence, and why should
they not be able to preserve their liber
ties, when they once gain them although
they be divided into distinct communities.
And to bi ing it home to us, suppose that
at the treaty of peace io 1782, Spain had
succeeded in her wishes of acquiring all
the territory west of tlie Alleghany, could
not the people of the Atlantic Slates gov
ern themselves as well as they do uow?
Would they have lost their liberties? And
if, nt any day, the people* of the west
should find it thoir interest to esstablish a
separate Government,can any man be so
stupid as to imagine thulthe loss of liberty,
peace, and happiness would be the result?
Would our being in two distinct commu
nities deprive the people of all knowledge
of Government* would it blind them as
to what measures would bo most advan
tageous to them? The valley of ihe Mis
sissippi can support 50 millions of people.
Could they not pieserve their liberty and
peace, plenty and happiness, even if they
should be separated from the Atlantic
States? And certainly the Atlantic Stales
could get on tolerably well, even if the
Alleghany had proved an impassable
barrier.
We consider these views of the Presi
dent as grossly absurd, and nothing but
the source from which they originate cau
ses us to take notice of them The au
thoriry of his name, although greatly di
minished, is still something. We shall
soon be able to say that it is nothing.
From ibis it becomes apparent ih it Mr
Calhoun and his party mean to rally again
in the South,and will seek to extend theit
disaffection upon the principle that Union
is incompatible with their interests. The
nest of ambitious politicians whom Mr C.
has nurtured in the hope of giving law to
fhis couutry find themselves sunk forever
in the eves >#f the groat mass of their couo
trymen by ’heir odious conduct. They
have attempted to cariy a majority in fa
vor of their high pretensions by rushing
into everv extreme of political doctrine.
They have no resort left, but to carve out
a little Southern despotism over which
they may lord it with test oaths, bills of
attainder, and laios defining treason, and
such other political machinery , as may be
necessary to fix the yoke of ilie Southern
Aristocracy upon the classes of citizens.
Wo shall then have a glorious illustration
us the free principle which in advance
scouts the right of the majorit to govern;
and indeed we have already seen the
principles acted out, for evety body know
that Calhoun, Hamilton, Hayne, M’Duf
lie, und a few others in effect, dicta
ted every thing which has been recently
done in Smith Carolina. They have giv
en a fine foretaste of the species of liberty
which they think salutary in a sultry cli
mate.
We give ale ter from a respectable
gentleman of Columbia, whose views ol
things iu the South are corroborated by
tho article in the Telegraph. Govern
or Hayne’s insisting upon the continuance
of the military, and Wr. McDuffie’s de
duration that they were secure alone by
the sword me in perfect keeping; and
make good every word uttered by tliui
confidant and confederate Mr. Smith,
whose remarks in convention we-copy
from a Southern paper.
Columbia, I9 h March, 1533.
My Dear Sir: The convention ad
journed last night and 1 enclose you tins
m lining’s Telescope, which contains the
two Ordinances adopted by that body.—
In the same ,«aper you also have the Re
ports from the Committee of lwenty-otie,
which were finally agreed to Some of the
Convention are much dissatisfied with the
proceedings, on account of not being they
say, strong enough.
J. L. Wilson, Governor, made a most
wanton and violent speech yesieiday
against tho Union Party, as well as the
General Government, and denounced
Gen. Jackson as “Me most abandoned
Tyrant on earth!" Called the Union
Party Tories, and said they deseived the
punishment due to such characters—that
he was ready to fight them, or drive them
from the State, lie was for makeing eve
ry voter swear exclusive allegiance to this
State! oi not vote, and if tins was noi
made the paramount law of the State.
he would quit the Convention the most dis
satisfied man on earth."
You will perceive that tire Ordinance
authorizes the Legislature to impose any
oath upon the people, and decide what is
treason , &c. &e. As the Legislature is
composed of a large majority of Nulli
fiers, I have no doubt they will cany out
the spirit of intolerance and tyranny to
its foil extent. The Convention would
have dofie all that Wilson wanted them
to do, but from motives of policy, they
refrained from it. I have no doubt
Wilson expressed the real feeling of
most of the Nollies.—Prudence alone re
strained—with Wilson, such prudence is
despised—for he is a whole-liog man in
whatever he goes for.
Governor Hayne had ihe thanks of the
Convention voted to him, and of course
made a speech in reply, iu which ho told
them many things, and they must*be vi
gilant and keep up the military ! &c. &c.
or the rights and interest* of the couutrx
would be sacrificed to tho Central Gov l
ernment at W ashington, the Treasury
of the United States would bo usod to
bribe the people and enslave the country,
.&.C. <fcc. In a word, my dear Sir, from
all I see and can learn, ! caunot resist the
belief, that disunion, is the settled pur
pose of the chief men of the Nullifying
party, and that a plan is this moment on
foot to form a Southern league , for the
express purpose of establishing a confede
racy independent of that government our
fathers established.
Every effort will now be mado to unite
the Southern States in one common feel
ing, and then iu united action. I hope
i am mistaken ; but I*fear time will prove
the truth of my apprehensions. Yet I
trust the great governor of the universe
will so euligh eu the people and purify
their hearts, that they may perceive anß
sustain the true interest and glory of our
common country, and that our Union
may be a lasting blessing iu all time to
come. m
Captors of the Bastile. —A bill was
passed by the Fiench Chamber of De
puties k on the 23d January, granting a
iife annuity of 250 francs to each of the
surviving captors of the Bastile. The
measure was opposed by M. Gseian be la
Rochefaticatild, chieflv on the ground
that the attack on the Bastile was oue of
those anarchical events which more fre
quently injure titan serve the cause of
true liberty, and was the precursor of the
horrors and massacres of the Revolution.
General Lafayette replied in a spirited
speech, vindicating the character of the
event, and quoted a remark which had
been made by the father of M. de Roche*
f.iucanld, at the time of the capture of tho
Bastile. When Louis XVI. spoke of it
before him as a great emeuie, (riot,) lie
replied “No, Sire, it is a great revolution.”
The bill contained the names of more
than 400 individuals, all whom had pro
duced incontestible proof of their paitici
pation in the combat.
The Duchess de Berry. —The indis
position of the Duchess* de Berry, and
the fact that two of the most skilful and
celebrated physicians of Paris have been
despatched to her assistance, have given
rise to some scandalous insinuations in the
Patis papers. We trust, lor the sake of
sentiment, that there is no foundation in
them. It would be a most preposterous
sequel to her late romantic exploits.
The German papeissav that the car
nage at the giea’. bettleof Koniah in which
the Turks were utterly routed by the
Egyptians, was terrible; that 30,000 men
were left on the field, and that the Turks
suffered them selves to be cut down lor a
lung time before they would take to flight.
Tho Romans and Albanians lor tho most
part went over to ihe enemy. A Russian
General officer is said to have been des
patched to the victorious Pacha, in order
by forcible representation to induce or
compei him to be more moderate in bis de
mands. The General opinion seems to
be that tho only hope of safety for the
Sultan is in peace, to be purchased by
uuqual tied submission to all the exactions
of the Pacha.
A railway between Liverpool and Lon
don, it appears by the English papers, is
in contemplation, two bills being now be
fore Pailiament, which are represented as
likely to receive the Legislative sanction.
The Liverpool Times remarks, that the
joint woik, to be undertaken by th.e man
agers of the Birmingham and Liverpool
Line, when finished, will bo one of die
noblest triumphs of science ever achieved
and one of the most important publi.c
benefits ever conferred by science on
ihis country. In a few years Liverpool
will probably be within twelve horns’ ride
of London.
We take tbe following from the Journal
dn Commerce of Lvous, of the 27th ult. :
Two days ago a mercantile house was
opening some bales of cotton, when to tho
lstonidiment of those engaged in the
operation, there was found in one of them
the body of a negro, bent double and
carefully packed iu die tniddje of it.”
From the, N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
STILL LATER FROM EUROPE.
By the ship Ajax, Capt. Heim, from
Liverpool, the Editors of the Commer
cial Advertiser have received London
papers to the 19di, and Liveipool to the
21st of Feb. both inclusive.
The intelligence from the continent is
not important, unless it be inferred, that
diero is a growing disposition among the
Northern powers of Europe, ultimately
to iutorpose in behalf of Holland.
It was believed that unless the negoti
ations with Holland were soon terminal*
ed, England and France would soon force
the navigation of the Scheldt.
From an Odessa Journal of January
18th, we learn that the Sultan’s army
had experienced anew defeat. After
Ibrahim Pacha had mado himselfnnaster
of Koniah, and of all the Turkish’maga
/.ines of ammunition and provisions, he
gained another victory at Akshir. The
had weather, bewever, did not allow him
to prosecute hi3 advantages. Tho panic
terror that has seized the Tuiks, renders
them, it is said, unable to make any re
sistance.— Diplomacy will now step in.
WEST INDIES.
Memorandum , communicated by Viscount
Goderich to the West India Body,
February 4, 1833.
1. llis Majesty’s Government will
be ready to communicate confidentially
with the West India body before they
submit to Parliament any propositions
upon the subject of the West India af
fairs.
2. The Government retain their ori
ginal opinion upon the subject of a com
mittee of the House of Lords, of which
the West India body now seek the re
newal.—They felt at the time confident
that it would necessaiiiy he followed by
the appointment of a commitee of the
House of Commons, which, in all pro
bability, would aim ut and fferent objects,
and be conducted upon and fferent princi
ples ; and they apprehended that the re
sult of the inquiries would be to increase
tho vehemence of the controversy upon
the subject of slavery, to irrigate rather
than moderate the excited feeliugs of
the public, and aggravate the acknow
ledged difficulties of the whole question.
Wlial has occurred since the close of
the last session lias not aheied, but has,
on the contrary, confirmed these views ;
and they would earnestly press up<*n the
West I udja body tire expediency of not
calling, upon the present occasion, for a
renewal of the committee of the House
of L°rds.
They admit, at the same time, that
there prevailed, when the Committees
closed their labors, an impression that
their inquiries would be resumed in the
present Session, and that that impression
«a# countenanced by the language of the
respective reports. Nor are they di*
posed to deny that they themselves let-"
ed forward to that course. Considet'Si
however, every thing which has subse
quently passed, and the actual state of
the question, they feel that they would
best consult the interest of the West In
dies, by not inviting the House of Lords
to re-appoint the Committee. If, never
theless, the West India Body should
continue to think its revival essential
to their interests, his Majesty’s Govern
ment will not oppose such a proposi
tion if brought forward from any other
quarter.
Feeling it, howover, to be their duty
in the present crisis of West India af
fairs, to act upon their own responsibili
ty, they deem it incumbent upon them to
state, that the appointment of such a
Committee would not cause them to ab
stain from maturing and proposing such
measures as they may, upon full consid
ration, and after communication with the
West India body, deem to be best calcu
lated to bring this important subject to a
safe and satisfactory termination.
Memorial of the Standing Committee of
West India Planters and Merchants ,
consequent upon the foregoing Com
munication.
To the Right Honorable the Earl
Grey, K. G. First Lord of hss Majesty’s
Treasury, &c. dec. and to the other Min
isters of the Crown. *
Your memorialists beg respectfully to
acknowledge the receipt of a communi
cation, in the form of a minute, bearing
date the 4th inst. having reference to the
Conference of the 28lh ult. and beg to
express their satisfaction at the King’s
Government having assured them that
they will “ communicate confidently with
the West India Body, but they submit to
Parliament any propssirion upon the
subject of West India Affairs.”
Your memorialists submit that, if the appoint
merit of the Committee of the House of Com
mons, consequent upon the granting that in the
House of Lords, has, by the result of its Inqui
ries, “ increased the vehemence of tbe contro
versy, and irritated, rather than moderated,
the excited feelings of the public;” that effect
is attributable to the publication of the ev
idence in on incomplete and inconclusive
state ; and although your memorialists haw
no desire to aggravate the difficulties of the
question, yet they deem if essential to the
just and safe settlement of it, that tire real ex
tent of those difficulties should be made appa
rent
The Committee reported that, “the
important question of what is due to the
fair and equitable consideration of pri
vate property, as connected with the ex.
Unction of Slavery, had not been investi
gated by them.
Until, however, that part of the ques
tion shall have been investigated, the
furtHfer one of the extinction of slavery
itself cannot be doalt with. And as the
slaves *are, by the laws of England, the
property, and necessaiy to the value of
the estates of their masters, in which,
“by no fault of their own, aud throngh
the encouragement of various acts of the
Legislature” (as allowed by Mr. Can
ning) they, or their predecessors, have
invested their fortunes, "the fair aud equi
table consideration due to the rights of
private property’ 1 must in this case in
volve previous provision of funds, to an
amount which will be of an appalling
magnitude.
Your memorialists submit that, as the
Committee in the House of Commons
was conceded to their opponents, and the
evidence for the caso of those opponents
made public, its labors should not stop at
the procise point most prejudicial to die
colonists. And they further submit, that
the committee is also bound, if it shall
report in favor of the extinction of slave
ry at any definite period, to found that
report upon an investigation of the de
tails of a plan upon which it shall be
practicable, consistently with the safety
us the Colonies, and the well being of
the slaves, themselves as well as the
rights of property.
For these reasons your memorialists
do not see that ovil in the renewal of the
committee of the House of Commons
(trusting if such renewal shall be inevita
ble, to the justice of the King’s Govern
ment for its impartial constitution,) which
should deter them from their demand for
the renewal of that in the Lords, in which
house they consider it indispensable to
their interests, not only that inquiries
should be extended up tb the other colo
nies as well as Jamaica, but that the evi
dence upon oath of Lord Belmore, of
Sir James Lyon, and of the Deputies
specially sent from the different colonies
for the express purpose of giving evi
dence upon the case, should it be taken.
With regard to the announcement of
His Majesty’s Ministers, that the Gov
ernment means to act upon its own res
ponsibility, and to mature and propose
such measure as may seem to them best
calculated to bring the important subject
to a safe and satisfactory termination,
notwithstanding the renewal of the com
mittee, and consequently pending its 1
inquiries, your memorialists must protest <
against the inconsistency of a course nul- '
iifying the only purposes for which the i
committee shall bo granted, and therefore
destroying the value of the concession
itself. They continue to maintain, that
until that committee shall B*ve reported
the “dispassionate and impartial result of
ari ample and patient investigation” of
the whole case, in referee to the rights
of the colonists theo ,rfe l v es, the rights of
their cieditors in tl ,s country, the well
being of the slaves *he safety of the col
onies, and their incalculable importance
as a constituen P af t of this empire, the
Goverument r ® as liltlo qualified to deal
with these d^ cu^( an( ? momentous sub
jects as th«/ w ere previously to granting
the comr <llee the last Parliament.

ENGLAND.
IRI*H ENFORCEMET bill passed.
On the 21st February, Lord Shaftes
bury, in the House of Lords, brought up
tfie report on the bill, for the suppressing
of disturbances in Ireland (contained iu
another column of this paper) and the
same, with its amendments, after some
desultory conversation, was agreed to.
One of the amendments that had been
inserted was moved by Earl Grey for the
prevention of signals by bonfires, &c.
IRELAND.
Great agitation was manifested at Dublin on
the 20th, in consequence of the Suppression
Bill. L'he Tr bdes and the Volunteers had sus
pended their political operations to deliberate
on their personal security. A great general
j meeting was to take place the next day. A run
’ had been made upon tbe Bank»of Irelaud for
i gold, but not to a great extent.
Mr. O’Connell —The following letter from
Mr. O’Conuell, relative to the coercive mea
sures proposed by Eai I Grey, has been receiv
ed by one ot his friends in Dublin:—
14, Albemarle-street, London, Saturday.
1 proposed to myself to send you for publi
cation, on Monday, an address to the Irish
people, on the present truly awful crisis of pub
lic affairs, but 1 have been occupied with confcr
j encev all day, with Irish and British Members
I of the Commons—and I derive much consola
-1 tion from being able to tell you, that not only
are the popular Irish Members firm h unanimous
but that there are a greater number far more
than I could possibly expect of the British Mem
bers, determined to resist the atrocious tyran
ny with which Earl Grey has the unheard of
audacity to dare to threaten Ireland. Talk of
an union, indeed, between the countries, aftex
presuming to attempt to outlaw the inhabitants
of one great portion of the empire!!
But the extreme despotism of the proposed
measures has a tendency to disgust every friend
oi liberty , and in Englaud we shall certainly get
support out of doors.
In the meant time, pray use ray name to con
jure the people, first, to be perfectly peaceable
no outbreak—no violence ; on the contrary,
poove the absolute madness of doing the business
of onr enemies, by any species of violation of the
law. Secondly, get the clergy, if possible, and
the laity, unanimously io petition. Petition
petition—petition against these measures. Let
us have fitm,' respectful, strong petitions from
every part of Ireland.
j'Let there be no despair—tbe constitutional
battle for Irish liberty is not yet lost—neither
shall it be, with the blessing of God. I repeat,
let no man despair? on the contrary, call on tire
friends of freedom to insist that their represen
tatives shall do their duty.
“ I have not time this day to write more. Let
‘ Peace, order and constitutional exeition be our
motto.

The London Morning Advertiser of the 21st,
says :
We understand that an application to the F.ra
peror Nicholas by the Dutch King, to assist in
extricating him from the difficulties in which
his own obstinacy has involved him. has met
with an unfavorable reception. He is advised,
for his own good and that of his subjects, to
settle his differences with France and England
as speedily as possible.
AUGUSTA.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL, 3.
We have not received the Charleston papers,
of Monday last.
The Cotton shipped from this Port and Ham-,
bmg from Ist October Inst to Ist April amounts
101,600 bales. On hand in Augusta 18,894 —in
Hamburg 1,299 —in both places 20,193. Tbe
supply by wagons is very moderate, probably
owing to the continued rains and consequent bad
roads. We quote 9to 10J —choice 11 cents.
CF We are requested to call the attention of
the lovers of Music to the Entertainment pro»_
posed this evening in the Masonic Hall. Master
Burke’* talents in this respect are not more pre»v
cocious than extraordinary. Those who have
not witnessed his performances elsewhere, will
now have an opportunity of doing so in the
Masonic Hall.
The Ajax and (he Ruscoc w.th dates to the
21st find 24th from Liverpool have arrived at
New-Yoik. We have extiacted the articles of
Interest.
Joun Stocking, Jr. has been re-elected Mayor
of the City of Mobile.
Sir R. Vaughan, the English Ambassador to
the U. States, came passenger in the ship Koscoa
We regret to observe our friend Perry has
ceased his connection with the Greenville Moun
taineer. He considers his work done—the
“ union safe and nullification gone with an ex
piring flourish, to the tomb of the Capulets.”—
Mr. Wells continues ths paper.
The Chronicle expresses its surprise that the
Hon. Win. H. Crawford should he so dead to
“Southern feeling,” as to allow himself “to be
appointed one of ihe Vice-Presidents of that
nucleus of mischief, the Colonization Society
in Washington City.” We have not by us at
this moment the means of determining precise?
ly, but our impression is, that he has been an
honored officer of that Society fr*m its origin,
and the reeent appointment, at which our neigh
bor expresses such sui prise, is nothing but a
re-nomination to thexame office.
A white man by tbe name of Morgan, and 3
Negroes were recently drowned at Coosawda,
Ala. in attempting to cross the river in a small
beat. The water courses to the westward of us
have been very high. The Montgomery Journ
al says, most of the Bridges in the Creek Nation
are swept away. The water of the Alabama
was on a level with the door of thft State House
in Cahawba.
We invite the reader’* attention to two arti
cles from the Globe. One of them developes
clearly the designs of the Disunion Party of the
South. That disunion is their o'bjact, no one'
we think, can doubt, who duly considers their
past and present operations. They have been
so completely foiled, however, in the attempt by
Nullification, that they find it necessary to find
other topics of agitation, and none in this State
is so fruitful of angry excitement as the subject,
qf our Indian Lands. We caution our readers
against their designs. The “Enforcing Bill ,”
which is so dreadful a stumbling block in their
way, and connected with it the President’s Proc
lamation, are to form the levers, by which these
modern Archimedes expect to move the world.
No wonder they are so opposed to it—they feel
it to be the voice of the Nation opposed to them,
Let not their slanders lessen your confidence in
those whom you have found honest and true.—>
Their falsehoods and violence will soon recoiPon
their owa heads, driven back by the indignatisn
of an insulted people. Forsyth and Wayne
deserve not oolv yotjr past, bat your increase*.
