**■ SAVANNAH republican. Tuesday Evening,-October 8, 1810. Bv the arrival of the fast sailing packet ship Ceres, cap. tain' Mix in 94 hours from New-York, we have been politely furnished with papers of that city to the 3d in- atant- we observe nothing new in them. The ships Cot ton Plant and Adonis, and brig Amelia, from New-York; are below, waiting for pilots to bring them. up. The wind has been blowing for the last three days fromnorth- east, and not a Pilot below to attend to arrivals. We bop’e the Commissioners of Pilotage will look to this, and correct the evil. TflE ALIEV LAW—RESISTED! tfoe Collector of Baltimore and the Post-Master at Canandaigua have both spiritedly refused to eomply vith the orders issued from their respective depart ments, in conformity with a mandate of the late, liberal and enlightened congress. These gentlemen hold con science in more estimation than the advantages ot office. K her than be the corrupt and wilful instruments of violating the constitution of their country, and denying the rights of brotherhood to victims of foreign oppres sion, they would prefer parting with the lucrative situa tions which thev at present occupy, haply thereby ex posing numerous relatives to all the miseries of want. Such conduct may, with truth, be termed the very «r eeuce of patriotism, and the names of the actors should never be forgotten till the expiring throe of time. In turning from them to the framers of the edict which they have resisted is stepping from a garden of Sowers to a gloomy wilderness of thorns and poisonous weeds, is quitting'the effulgence of heaven for Cimmerian dark ness. Among those enemies of equality, foes of repub licanism, we discover but corrupted beings, whose jninds are barren- wastes, visited alone by the whirl winds of avarice and the simoons of perj ury. Regardless of those immunities, of those privileges, which the laws of our country hold out to the acceptance of emigrants arrlv ng on our shores from the scenes of monarchical prodigality and tyranny, they have insidiously attempted the creation of distinguishing between native and natu- rahzeu citizens, fondly hoping that the attainment of such -an end would enable them to accomplish a distinc tion of greater magnitude—no less than that qf prxtorian and f'leoian. The mad operations of Randolph and the lordly hopes of Crawfordevidently exhibit all the wind ing's and twistings of those advocates of Indian aggran dizement; but the odious allien tow had another object, than the happiness of the aborigines—the slow but cer tain elevation of its supporters to hereditary honors Now, what reliance can be placed on the promises of men, who have made rapid strides to deprive the poor exile, who has left a home and relatives merely to place himseif under {he protection of our laws—to deprive him, we suv, of those rights for the realization of which the faith of America is pledged? But tliii^ is not ail; on tee instalment of those men, they were sworn to preserve the constitution entire; and, behold, they immediately com mence to .sap it at. the foundation—assailing the right of equality. What can be expected from those perjured beings? Notliing but future deception; for, in the days of Adams’ar-istocratieal administration, they made a Lw similar to their uliien act the daily and just theme of ex ecration; so that they cannot plead ignorance in pallia tion of their offence. Butjfcey stand accused before a more awful tribunal than tint which they attempted to erect for the ordeal of emigrants—-we triean the people —While there are such patriots in the land as the Collect or of Baltimore and the Post-Master at Canandaigua, we fear not but justice Will overtake those deceivers of the , nation. But we have detained our readers too long from the perusal of the following logical epistle: From the Canandaig’ta {N. F.) Messenger. The editor of the Messenger has perceived in the pub lic papls-s a notice from the department of state, request ing those holding appointments under it to inform the secretary of State where they were born, in order to ena ble him to comply with a resolution of Congress. As a printer of the tow* of the United States, the editor sup- posses he is included in the notice. He has determined not to comply with it, and he does not know that he can better express his reasons for the refusal, than by publish ing the answer of j. C. Srs-vcun, esq. Pout Master of this place, to*a rimilar inquiry; which answer has been obtain ed at the request of the editor, for the purpose of laying before the people cf fiiis quarter. It is understood that a similar refusal to.s been made by a number of persons holding offices order the United States government. [Mr. Spencer is a native of New York.] Honorable IlKTTTiivyJ. Mm;3, Pust-Master-General: Sir—Your letter of .the iOtii July last, in which you request me to inform ycu la what state or country I was born, and in what country the clerks employed in this post .office were born, irifs been but recently received; and 1 have delayed a reply to it, in ord.r to reflect upon the propriety of-answerin' rbe questions it contains. 1 am far from wishing to exirihit any disrespect to you, sir, .as an individual, or as the head of the Post-Office Depart- uncat, and if the enquiries made by ycu were merely for your own personal gratification, I should answer them With pleasure. But, upon mature rejection. I am satisfied, that con i' fares' had no right to require the information sought by your .questions; and that if their resolution be complied with in .’-bis respect, a principle will be sanctioned which is abhors 1 ,’t to the spirit of our government, which would combine mode body the distinct.powers of the legislative and executive i departments, which would authorise inqui- rial visit s into Ju t the details of private life, and which Would establish dis fictions between native and natural ized cmze«l ls > and bet-1, n e e ‘ I the citizens of different states, hmliHinded in feality, an," 4 productive only of dissention and mischief. Wiiiie I cheerfully admit tl/« legitimate povwcr of con gress to imueach and try ever/ 7 officer of the govern ment, I yet deny their right to exercise the executive functions in deciding or expressing any opinion upon 1 the qualifications of persons to hold executive appCintmev'its. ' If tiie resolution in question be not intended as a foundation for such a decision, it is worse tlian useless L' I should inform congress -nrough you, sir, where 1 and my clerks were born, I do not perceive why I may not with equal propriety Jk required to state the amount of my property, the numfler of my children, my political sentiments, or any other object of inquiry in which the wisdom or the curiosity of congTesSmav wish to be gr— tJrid. But the most important objection in my mi d, to th* resolution of congress, is, that it is a fire-brand J ifaurnA <yp Georgia.
