gainst the administration beih* all genetal-fce veil k nctt- that a single specification would have snapped ttu thread of his falsehoods. But the liberty of the press annihilated!—SO it seems, while he is defaming almost every untarnished character in the nation'. Amidst his myriads of untruths, a person cannot resist risibilty athearin him complain of the ingratitudeof the administration, in refusing to adopt his scientific labors and his being denied an agency in the Meditterranean squadron, and almost in the next breath bellows out if he had been ambitious, “the road -was open [and] the means of gratifying it obvious.” We cannot believe that which the general intends to convey in this quotation is ; n the first instance, “the means” are nor gotten? I would reply, that ttiiii one act directed to sdf- rggrandizemfcnt, is a damning proof that your mind is* incapable of resisting the blandishments of seduction, *' / md that the sacred aVkof our constitution presents but i feeble barrier in your^way, to the encroachments of self-love, directed to the possession of a little PALTRY PELF. Hence ybur boasted patriotism shews itself in a new light, and calls n6t for tne gratitude, but the severe reprehensions of an incensed people. You will liereafter be permitted to retire from, public life, and to,enjoy 'those domestic delights, .which you have heretofore relinquished with so much reluctance. If your defection has proceeded from the heart, the work ings therein will embitter the days of your retirement; but, it will be a favorable opportunity for repentance.— If from the HEAD, a conscious rectitude will reward you for the sacrifices of which you complain, but, which will no longer be required. A. truth; for, “obvious” t° us nor one a thousand; Secondly, it is ridiculous to suppose, where a man hns been denied a fa'-or of minor importance, that he can have all his cravings satisfied; but nothing now a'-days is too ridicu lous for Billy—if you seem to doubt his word, he imme- di-tclv denounces you as a knave and hireling? But it is necessary for us to draw a little nearer to the radiant adjutant-general. We attributed his opposition to disappointed ambition; but he strenuously denies the charge. If bis assertion be true, why were the measures of government not reviled by him until the close of the war? Jit was during that momentuous struggle, while the evils were remediable, that an exposition would have been most serviceable.. This silence would seem to bring the brave general's patriotism into question. What! a patriot beholding the servant’s of the public committing peculation, bestowing all the offices of the nation upon unworthv and incapable favorites, and bringing ruin on the country by a concatenation of impolitic measures—-a patriot witnessing all this, we say, and, although posses sing the means of exposition, remain silent! Duane may have mbibed this under the name of patriotism at Calcut m ta. but it will not pass for Stuck in America! What talis man, at that time, could have chained his tongue* and has set it ringing, since peace, like a blacksmith’s anvil? The cause is nlain. He has never been dissatisfied with the public measures of the republicans; he always, too> expected a public station, at one time or other, under it- During the war he held one; and contented himself in traducing officers of a superior grade; the countenance which congress gave to his military publications, by in* {reducing them into the army, gave them an extensive circulation, insomuch that there was hardly a company of militia from one end of the union to the other in which there were not two or three of his worthless catch pennies; experience brought them into disrepute; and government found it indispensible to have a new system prepared: Duane remonstrated with the proper autho rity at Washington City very resolutely; but to no pur pose. The rejection of his bastards was a very severe loss to the general, as it banished them from the militia as well . s the regular army, and from that day to this he has continued his vituperation against government.— This will be generally allowed to pass as disappointed ambition; but Duane says it is not. What will lie call it? He says, that all the democratic journalists are in the pay of the administration; and when noticing some late paragraph from this paper, (of which he is the subject) he savs, he “should not at all be surprized to find that they were written at one of the departments at Wash ington.” This is Billy Duane to the life. While he was penning the foregoing quotation, he lied wilfully, from the bottom of his heart he lied. He has never had the slightest occasion to suppose that we have held cor respondence with the heads of department. We enjoy neither their confidence nor their favor—no;, not so much as printing the laws of the United States, which appear so conspicuously in the columns of the Aurora. Let Duane make good his allegations; let him develope the base practice he has promised to unfold, should he “be provokedand above all, to save his reputation, let him orove that republican editors are bribed or hired. We might here bid the gal’ant soldier farewell, were it not for an assertion (which douUtlessly he can substan" tints!! of such a glaring character that it would fcrce a biush on the cheek ofiiis master, Belzebub. Adverting to our notice ofhim, he makes no hesitation in declar ing that “this ta the way the compensation law is excused.” We once did indeed say, and now repeat the assertion, that, that avaricious measure was not unconstitutional, but have always expressed an opinion inimical to it and its supporters. Now, let the matter of fact I man prove otherwise; or confess himself to be what he has long b-en a wil ing and malicious propagator of odious false hoods. - “FUGITIVES FOD THEIR CHIMES or their virtues!” A Dutch ship arrived at Philadelphia on the 18th ult. ! from Amsterdam, with two hundred and fifty passengers. foR Tiis Sava xxah REruBtlCAX.

It has completed your alienation; under these inipreesions, I should not have troubled mv- selfor the public with a syllable on the subject, were “it not necessary to point out to those who may succeed you, the Charybclis in which you have been ingulphed.

After no little fatigue, and I may say disgust, I suc ceeded in reading through the defence of Mr. Bibb for his vote on the bill encreasing the compensation of the congressional members. His defence of the measure manifests that he is still an advocate for its principles, and as these are neither laudable or creditable—but of dangerous tendency from the fatal precedent h estab lishes, I feel it a duty incumbent on me, as indeed, it is the duty of every good citizen, to exert my feeble pow ers in rendering it as odious as possible. Had the bill no other object than to ennabie the members of con gress to live more sumptuously, it wouid have b,en pas sed over in silence. They might have rioted in luxury until overcome by satiety, and 1 dare avow, that, pro vided they did not sacrifice the interest of the nation, the people would never have complained. But had the bill no other tendency? Is the power assumed by con gress of encreasing at pleasure the pay of its members fraught with no evil? Are its advocates prepared to deny, that because, one congress had the hardihood to exercise the right of altering the mode of compensation, that at a future day, another congress perhaps move corrupt, might claim a similar privilege? And if so, where is this system of proflia*y to end? Surety, if o^Hjongress has the right of altering at ^[of compensation, the succeeding con- me, and thus ad infinitum, until from the guardians of the interest of the ie its oppressors. But my object is not so much to expose the evil ten dency of the bill, as to point out its unconstitutionality. It is well understood from the nature of our government as well as the genious of our political institutions that no man is coerced into an appointment contrary to his wishes—that when he is appointed to an office it is with his free will and accord; .and that in accepting it, he un derstands the conditions which are attached to it. Now, among the numerous appointments in the gift of our state, there is not one more generally known or better understood, and the conditions more accurately ascertained than the representative delegated to con gress. He knows, or ought to know the services he is re quired to perform, and he well knows the compensation he is to receive for the performance of those services. The pay of a member of congress as established bylaw, before the passage of the la'e obnoxious law, was six dollars per day. This was well understood between the representative and his constituents—and was as much binding on the one as the other. Under those circum stances for a member to create for himself an additional compensation^ contrary to the agreement between his constituents and himself, was to all intents and pur poses a breach of the contract, and therefore a violation of the Constitution of the United States: For in conform ity to the Article of that instrument, no act etc post facto can have a legitimate effect. Now, that this bill is e r post facto is clear and evident, in as much as a previous contract existed between the representative and Uis constituents, which contract was violated by the representative encreasing the pay of his services with out the consent or approbation of his constituents. Without pressing the subject farther, I think I am justifi ed in saying, that a representative who sanctioned by his example a measure so odious and detestable, stands not only convicted of a gross act of indelicacy and profliga cy, but a palpable violation of the constitution. That Mr. Bibb did thus act and vote we have the most indubitable proof—and for so doing he deserves, not only the severest reprehension, but notwithstanding his “great virtue, his great talents and public services” to be consigned with others of. the same stamp, to that private station which is so well fitted to a constitution enfeebled by “official duties.” A VOTER. Throughout America and Europe the past spring and summer have been unusually cold and dry. Crops al most every where are indifferent, in some places so un promising as to excite the strongest fears of a scarcity approaching to famine. In this state the cotton crops are short, and will not average probably more than one half the usual quantity to the acre; in the middle and upper counties, although corn may be less abundant than common, there will be more than enough made for our own consumption. In North and South-Carolina, the seasons have been unpropitious and the prospect is most gloomy—it is still worse in Virginia. Corn meal in the city of Richmond was selling some weeks ago at two dollars per bushei. The growing crop is the most scan ty they have had for twenty years. In every month of the spring and summer they have been visited by frost; and so great was the droughth that many persons had walked across James river at the Falls, a thing never be fore known. In Great-Britain and other parts of Europe, the seasons have been not less remarkable. - Some philo sophers, seeking for the causes of these phenomena, at tribute them to the spots on the sun.— Georgia Journal.

The following is an extract of a letter from Amelia- Island, dated September‘21,1816, to a gentleman in this city. “You ought to look out, for you laws seem to he of no avail. I have seen a great number of AFRICANS, sent from Havana to this place, who are intended to be smuggled to Savannah, and from thence, across the coun try to Charleston. Why not place one of the American navy, (say only 14 guns) off our port, and the crew will make a fortune, by capturing a few of these smug gling vessels, as they have plenty of SPECIE on board; exclusive of. Africans. By thus doing, not only a stop would be put to the traffic, but the depredators made to repent their unlawful commerce.”—Charleston livening post.

Died, in this city, on the 2tth ult-. after a few days ill- ness, Doctor Joseph G. M*wa3t, aged 27 years, a native of Albermarjp county, state of Virginia. In his d eath, his friends and acquaintances have to mourn the loss of a much valued man, an accomplished gentleman, a useful, benevolent and skilful practitioner. To those who were intimately acquainted with him, his loss is no common one—it is irreparable. He possessed an amiable dispo sition and engaging manners, which procured him many sincere friends, who will ever cherish a grateful recol lection of his memory. It was but yesterday he was gay and cheerful, in the vigour of health and bloom of man hood, pursuing the world’s vocations on which he had stepped! But alas! look on the. reverse! To-day we hear his name enrolled with the dead, “and that warm heart of his with all its open and generous vessels, is com pressed into the clod of the valley.” No more will the honest hand of friendship grasp him to its bosom No. He is gone!
