of !lu ir children will rl : oS to tin* pre
judices ul ibis country, anil will partake of
tlm' proud spirit, not umnint’lril witlt dis
join, which you have observedhb reitiarkable
in the general character of this people, and
n i perhaps belonging peculiarly to those of
t;irman descent, burn In tins country.—
iplmt feeling of superiority over other na
tions which you have noticed, and which
Inis been so offensive to other strangers,
who have visited these shores, arises from
the consciousness of every individual that,
a s a member of society, no man in the coun
try is above him ; and, exulting in this sen
timent, he looks down upon those nations
where the mass of the people feel them
selves the inferiors of privileged classes, and
w here men are high or low, according to the
accidents of their birth. But lienee it is that
no government in the world possesses so few
menus of bestowing favors, us the govern
ments of the United States. The govern
ments are the servants of the people, and
arc so considered by the people, who place
and displace them at their pleasure. They
are chosen to manage for snort periods the
common concerns, and when they cease to
give satisfaction, they cease to be employed.
In the powers however of the government
to do good are restricted, those of doing
harm arc still more limited. The depend
ence, in affairs of government, is the reverse
of the practice in Europe ; instead of the
people depending upon their rulers, the ru
lers, as such, are always dependent upon the
good will of the people.
We understand perfectly that of the multi
tude of Foreigners who yearly flock to our
shores, to take up here their abode, none
come from affection or regard to a land to
which they are total strangers, and with the
very language of which those of them who
are Germans are generally unacquainted.
We know that they come with views, not to
our benefit hut to their own ; not to promote
our welfare, but to better their own condi
tion. We expect therefore very few, if any
transplanted countrymen from classes of
people who enjoy happiness, ease, or even
comfort, in their native climes. The happy
and contented remain at home, and it requires
an impulse, at least as keen, as that of urgent
want, to drive a man from the soil of his na
tivity and the land of his fathers’ sepulchres.
Of tue very few Emigrants of more fortunate
classes, who ever make the. attempt of set
tling in this country, a principal proportion
sicken at the strangeness of Ou.' maimers,and
aft t a residence, more or less protracted, re
turn to the countries whence they came.
There are, doubtless, exceptions, and among
tlic most opulent and the most distinguished
of our citizens, we are happy to number in
dividuals who might have enjoyed or acquir
ed wealth and consideration, without resort
ing to a new country and another hemis
phere. We should take great satisfaction in
finding you included in this number, if it
should suit with your own inclinations, and
the prospects of your future life, upon your
calculations of your own interest. I regret
that it is not in my power to add the induce
ment which you might perceive in the situa
tion of an office under the government. All
the places in the Department to which I be
long, allowed by the laws, are filled, nor is
there a prospect of an early vacancy in any
of them. Whenever such vacancies occur,
the applications for natives of the country to
1111 them, are far more numerous than the
offices, and the recommendations iri behalf
of tile candidates so strong and so earnest,
that it would seldom be possible, if it would
ever be just, to give a preference over them
to Foreigners. Although, therefore, it would
give me sincere pleasure to consider you as
one of our future and permanent.fellow citi
zens, I should not do either an act of kind
ness or of justice to you in dissuading you
from the offers of employment and of hon
orable services, to which you are called in
your native contry. With the sincerest wish
that you may find them equal and superior
to every expectation of advantage that you
have lormcd, or can indulge, in looking to
them,
I have the honor to be, Sir, your very oi#e-

adopted, have disturbed in anv degree
the harmony of our system. It is desir
able, we Ireely admit, that appointments

this, it would be going too far, perhaps, to
make the evidence of a man's merit (the
confidence of his constituents) a disquali
fication for the performance of the duties
of oflice, generally of much less impor
tance than those of legislation. This

Commodore Barron and Capt. Elliott
arrived here on Friday morning, in Mid
dleton’s Racket from Alexandria. The
Commodore’s wound, we are happy to
learn, is in a tine way ; lie will, it is ex
pected, be able to walk as well as ever
in two or three weeks. His wound was
much nearer being mortal than report
had made it—a hair's breadth would
have been sufficient to have given the
ball a fatal direction ; and perhaps it
was owing to the circumstance of his
standing square to the front (in the mi
litary phrase) that his life was saved.—
If his side had been presented, even in a
small degree, the probability is that the
ball, after striking the hip bone, would
have glanced a contrary way and perfo
rated the abdomen ; or if the ball had
struck the eighth of an inch further to
the left, the wound must have been mor

RECORDER.
MlLLKDCiKVILLE, Tuesday, May 2.
Washington, April 17.
The amendment to the Constitution
proposed, in the House of Representa
tives by Mr. Cobb, prohibiting the .accep
tance of any appointment from the U. S.
by a member of Congress, has failed, there
being a majority of fifteen votes against it
in that House. A majority equal to two
thirds would have been required to pass
*t. It must then have passed the Senate
by a like majority, and must also have
received the sanction of two thirds of all
the States composing the Union, before
it could have become a part of the Con
stitution.
These several checks upon the power
of amending the Constitution, if they
sometimes prevent what we wish to see
accomplished—such as establishing an
uniform mode of electing Represents-
ti' es to Congress, and Electors—yet con
stitute one of the features of that instru
ment, most worthy of our respect—one
which, in its operation, has proved the
wisdom and forecast of its framers.—
1 here is no doubt that what is in itself
right, will in time be popular. The pro
verbial evil of procrastination is more
•ban counterbalanced by the benefit of
deliberation, in a matter so important as
** modification of the fundamental prin
ciples of Government. Where a Con
stitution is in the power of a Legislature,
'tseli the creature of the Constitution,
experience has shewn it to be of little
duration in form, h of less validity in fact.
Indeed, w here amendments may be made
1° a Constitution by the votes of two
successive Legislatures, and where there,
is an intermediate recurrence to the po
pular suffrage, great inconvenience is
uiiml to result from this facility ofinno-
'■'tion. In the State of Maryland, for
example, where such is the law, the
-(institution has been amended, altered,
in' | n * er ^°bated, until, at a late session
(’ the Legislature, a proposition was
, > to uppoint a committee to enquire
. re P°rt what the Constitution now is.
11 were not for the checks on the pow-
c of amending the fcdeuil Constitution,

^ uudeved by being called, a mere nose
" ix, to be moulded according to the
" nr , v °f the moment.
, 1 . , re specl to the amendment in
11 > d is in theory go unobjectionable,
fij?” That tile amendment to the Consti
tution of the U. S. proposed in the House of
Representatives by Mr. Cobb, prohibiting the
acceptance by a member of Congress of any
appointment from the United States, lias
been rejected, is to us, and should he to the
public, a matter of serious regret. Although
the Editors of the National Intelligencer ap
pear to approbate the decision of the House
on that question, an admission made by them
in the same paragraph, proves we think the
necessity of some such measure—“ the, vote
in favor of the amendment (say they) was so
respectable, that it is probable it trill ant be
iritliuut its effect on future appointments''—in
other words, that it may check a pcr.neious
practice, becoming very common, calculated
to render the Legislative branch of the Go
vernment in a certain degree subservient to
the Executive. We here introduce an ex
tract, pertinent to the subject, from Taylor’s
“ Inquiry into the principles and polity if Hie
Government of the United Slates.”
“ The E xceuiive power possesses the pre
rogative of eonforing lucrative offices upon
members of congress ; the senntnis not ex
cepted, though relied on as a check upon ex
ecutive power. In England, this prerogative
lias utterly disqualified the House oft'om
inous, as the organ or guardian of the prin
ciple of self-government, for the democrati-
cal order. It will operate in America as it
has done in England. Is a legislature., court
ing (he patronage of a man who commands
an army, a pledge or residence for the prin
ciple of self-government ? Is this secured by
enabling a man who commands an army, tl>
corrupt the legislature by perpetual 4c brilli
ant hopes ! Was Svv ift inspired in describing
the difference between the corruption of
hope and of prompt payment ?—
“ Sid’s rod was slender, while and tall,
Which oft he used to fish withal,
A Plaice was fastened to the hook,
And many score of Gudgeons took ;
Yet still so happy was his fate,
He caught hisJish and saved his bait.”
“ Is not a president, thus enabled to influ
ence the legislature, exactly a Lord Bute
hidden behind the throne ?”
late timi d speech, the writer hereof has yet
to learn ; but from Ills knowledge of (he folks
could make a shrewd guess. Mr. Cobh char
ges the general government with favoritism
to other states in the extinguishment of In
dian title to lands; the prompt attention of
the President to the applications of the pre
sent Governor on the claims of Georgia, and
his consequent message to Congress recom
mending the appropriation, evinces on his
part a due regard to the interests of Georgia :
and that whatever disadvantages she may
have labored under, have proceeded from
the neglect of those whose more immediate
duty it was to attend to them. Tile “well
timed message,” lias at once deprived Mr. C.
of a convenient and fruitful theme of censure
on the general government, and of any merit
to be derived from the subject, of which be
appears by the arrangement and display of
his eleventh hour speech, and explanatory
notes, not to he a little solicitous ; and ifso,
it should have occupied his attention in
preference to the Seminole war. If one
fourth of the time of Congress, and conse
quently public money, which was wasted in
an impolitic, cruelly unfeeling, and as regards
Georgia, ungrateful, though fortunately fu
tile attempt, to tarnish the laurels of the he
ro of Orleans, and censure the administra
tion, had been applied to the acquisition of
our lands, Mr. Cobb might have claimed a
merit, to which under the actual circumstan
ces he now has no right. It would seem by
one sentence in Mr. C’s speech, marked with
anasterism, that lie was deterred from ven
turing to lay the claims of Georgia before
some branch of the general government,
from an apprehension of being deemed offi
cious. lie alludes I presnme to I lie Execu
tive branch. This extreme delicacy must
have lately seized him ; there was not much
appearance of it in the Seminole discussion,
which was generally considered here in Geor
gia as an attack upon the administration,
chiefly aimed against the Secretary of State,
Mr. Adams, for future purposes, the President
being considered out of reach for the next
four years. Mr. Cobb’s speech appears in
the National Intelligencer of the 11th of A-
nril, and when it was delivered we should
lie left to conjecture, as it hears no date, had
it not been remarked, that the President's
message w as received during the speech ; by
reference to the file of the Nat. Intelligencer,
that document will lm found to bear date the
17th March, 1B20; in the same paper ap
pears a communication from the honorable
John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State to
his Excellency John Clark, Governor of
Georgia, in the following words: “ Sir, I have
now the honor of inclosing a copy of the
message to Congress, by vv hieh the President
has recommended an appropriation for the
purposes suggested in your letter of the 1 Mh
January, SjC. 4,'C. This will suffice to explain
to others what Mr. Cobb pretends he lias yet
to learn. An Old Geohoia.n.
W'e state with pleasure, (says the New
Y ork Gazette,) that t.ie Spring trade lias
opened with inure spirit than was an
ticipated, and that considerable good
busine.-s is doing. For many years there
lias not been known such a scarcity of
sailors, whose wages have risen from
eight to twelve dollars a month, and few
to be had at ihat price.
We could scarcely give a stronger evidence
of impartiality than by the. publication of the
subsequent communication. That Mr. Cobb
deservedly ranks high in Congress; that he
is not less distinguished for his independence
and talents, than for active zeal in promot
ing the interests of Georgia, we have never
entertained a doubt.
FOR TUP. RPCOHDER.
I observe Mr. Cobb has at fist found time
to devote a portion of his attention to a sub
ject in which his constituents feel some inte
rest, by a motion to amend the appropriation
hill for the civil list, by inserting an appro
priation of thirty thousand dollars for “ hold
ing treaties with the Creek and Cherokee
Nations of Indians, for the purpose of pro
curing n further extinguishment of the In
dian title to the lands within the limits of
Georgia. But it must be a subject of regret
to Mr. Cobb’s particular friends, that his zeal
should have slumbered so long; for it is ad
mitted in a note to his speech, that while he
was in the act of delivering his remarks, “ a
message was received from the 1‘resident of
the U. States, recommending an appropria
tion for the very object contained in Mr.
Cobh’s motion. Upon w hich Mr. C. re
marks, whether the memorial of the Legis
lature of Georgia, or oilier fortunate circum
stances, produced this well timed message,
Mr. C. has yet to learn—upon which I pre
sume to remark, that whether a knovvledgi
on the part of Mr. Cobb, that one of the first
acts of Governor Clark’s administration was
to urge the just claims of Georgia, on thi.-.
and other subjects long neglected, as well as
a knowledge of the intention of the Pri nideut
of the. United States’ well timed message
gave the alarm, and produced thi-<, Mr. C’s
Th'.! report of the committee of Ways
anil .Means, in the House of Representa
tives, which acccmp,allied the bill, report
ed on Ft id iy, for authorizing a Loan of 2
Millions oi dollars, is not less interesting
th m any document of the present Con
gress. I. presents ;t view of the Stale
id tlie treasury, of the public Revenue,
«nd of the up; r>>prinliuus unde for the
service of the year Hi JO. The balance
of income at the end of the last year, it
appears, after paying all expenses, was
767,060 dollars ; the available fund In
the Treasury, 216,005 dollars. The
means available for the service of the
y ear 1020, indu hug the last item,are es
timated nt 22,525,dt>5dollars. The total
amount ofexpeir hi ores authorized by law
lor the year 1020, including the ten mil
lions of the Sinking Fund, is estimated
at 2(1,290,1 (54 dollars; leaving a defi
ciency <f means, for the year 1820, of
8,770,498 dollars. Out of the Sinking
Fund, there is payable, during the year,
7,711,602 dollars 71 cents, leaving “ a
balance which may lie applied to satisfy
part of the deficit of 2.288,497 29, and
leaving “ an actual deiieit of funds to meet
the expenditures authorized, by law, for
1820,” of 1,435,000 d.’.urs (id cents.—
On this amount of deficit the loan bit! is
predicated.
The report goes on to take a view of
the receipts and expenditures for the
year 1821, the result of which is an
estimated deficit of 3,665,000 dollars.
The report then proceeds to remark
upon the state of the finances; earnestly
recommending retrenchment k economy
in the public expenditure, and concludes
with a resolution “ that I lie President of
“ the United States be requested to cause
11 such a plan to he prepared as will cn-
“ able Congress, at its next session, to
“ make such reductions in the various
11 branches of public expenditures ns
“ may be required by the state of the
“ finances mid the public good.”
The whole report sluiil be soon pub
lished. It is such a one as, we are per
suaded, will meet general approbation.

.Mr. Rurrill of li. I. “ entered into
statements to shew (to the Senate of the
U. States) that il was practicable to ob
tain domestic cottons and other articles, of
superior quality to like articles of foreign
manufacture, at even a less cant." And
do they make a profit too ! Ifso, whence
the necessity of protecting them by an
increased tariff !—We learn indeed from
merchants, that N. England cotton rjoths
have almost entirely supplanted ln4i v
cottons, especially Hurrahs, hitherto so
generally in use for linings, and among
poorer persons for sheets, shirt*, table
cloth? kc. They have also taken th*
place in n great degree of German ozn.i-
hurgs, checks kc. and likewise of coarse
Irish linens ami sheetings.
Mr. Cai _y, however, in his New Olive
Brunch, pathetically mourns over the
great 11 decay nfipmiufurturiiig industry,”
and draws *a frightful picture of it* dis
tress. But is it ie much so .it tlm East 7
Certainly it, is not so extensive in those
places, where capital snd labor are more
abundant ; and therefore profit and wa
ges are. lower Admit, however, that
manufacturers have every where suffer
ed. lias the suffering been confined to
that class alone ? Mr. C. himself speaks
of” the awful scenes that overspread the
face of the laud”—“all our great staples
reduced in price from 30 to -10 per cent”
our shipping reduced in value one
hair'—” of our merchants a considera
ble portion bankrupt, and many totter
ing on the verge of bankruptcy.”—Mr.
Secretary Crawford draws no very a-
greeable picture of ” nil classes of the
community,” of merchants, of” the ag
riculturist who saw his income reduced
below his indispensable necessities,” of
“ the manufacturer who was not only
strugglingagainst forei^i competition, but
who saw the sale of his manufactures re
duced by the incapacity of his custom
ers to buy.”
Now, what is the great panacea ?—
High duties on foreign goods > “ No
thing (says Mr. C.) short of a complete
and permanent protection of the nation
al industry, so as to enable us to reduce
our demands from Kuropr, within our
means of payment.”—Up then with vour
tariff !—\\ by so ? Are vve blind to ex
perience ? If we have imported too
many goods, will we not import less ?—
Is government, whose attention is divid
ed amongso many concerns, more quick-
sighted upon the interests of the people,
than those very people whoso daily bu
siness it is to study their own concerns ?
Ifit is more to their interest to raise
goods than buy them abroad, will they
not do it of their ow n accord ? \\ ill mer
chants abroad trust us when those at
home cannot pay them ? Ifour rates of
wages and profit become lower, will not
a part el them naturally go towards ma
nufactures ?
With Hie exception of a very Jew arti
cles, such as arms, kc. which should be
to a certain degree encouraged, a hot
bed system of manufactures is on general
principles incorrect. What the great
Franklin says of commerce is even more
true of manufactures—(inure true, be
cause commerce breeds ships and sea
men, the means of national defence.)—
“ Most of the statutes or acts, edicts, ar
rests and placards of parliutuems, prin
ces and state?, for regulating, directing,
or restraining of trade, have, vve think,
been either political blunders orjobs ob
tained by artful men for private advan
tage, under pretence of public good.—
H hen Colbert assembled some wise old
merchants of France, and desired their
advice and opinion how lie could best
serve and promote commerce , their an
swer after consultation, was in three
words only, Laissez nous fairs; ‘Let us
alone.’ It is said by a very solid writer
of the same nation, that he is well ad

Mail Robbers.—Y esterday morning Pere
grine. Hutton and Morris N. IS. Hull, eliarg-

the mail carriage, were brought up before
the honorable judges of the Baltimore coun
ty court for the purpose of arraignment.—
Previous to reading the indictment tlie pri
soners through John N.Tyson, Esq. their
counsel, requested that the period of their
rraigmneut might he postponed. It was
not lor tlie purpose of avoiding the punish
ment due to their crime or eluding justice,
air they intended to plead guilty to the in-
lietment:—fully sensible as they were of
their iniquity they wa re anxious t'* sutler the
punishment of tlie law, ami imprt cated its
vengeance on their heads—their object was
totally different—an object of infinite inq'tir-
ce to them at this moment, to have u lit*
more time allowed them in order lo pro- j x
pare for an awful eternity—towards "hull
they were hastening. And further hy n short
delay, they hoped to die amid the eommis-
srintion instead ol the vengeance of the peo
ple, which was now justly alive against them.
The court overruled this motion on t niU-
cient grounds.
The indictment was then read, to which
the. prisoners severally pleaded guilty.
Tile court informed them oi the conse
quences of their plea—wished to know whe
ther it was voluntary or not—they declared
it was. Their confessions in w riting kiddie
Judge Bland were then read, and the atten

We regard the union of these States,
(says a Philadelphia paper) as their sul-
vaiion. The language of disunion grates
upon our ears as the muttering of trea
chery and anarchy.”
He entirely coiucide ill sentiment
with tlie above writer. America, united,
may almost hid defiance lo u world in
unis ; divided, them is danger that we
should prey upon each other, or become
the victims of European despots.— This
unquestionably, was the opinion of W asii-
ixi.Tu.x ; and a seti-e of its importance
induced him to pen and bequeath to Ins
countrymen, his immortal t'arevell Ad
dress. In this address, after ably and
feelingly pointing out the advantages of
union, and the ruinous consequence*
that would result from an abandonment
of it, he concludes with the following
emphatic and rcmurkble expression : —
” There will always be reason to distrust
the patriotism of those who in any quar
ter may / adcavor to weaken the bunds of
tlie Union.”—Ua!t. Patriot.
CURRENCY.—Governor 'Wolcott has
written a pamphlet, on “ The present state
of National industry, in reply to the Address
of the 7’ur.iuiany Society.” Itis distinguished
lor a clear and sound examination of the
causes which have, produced the present de
pression, and which nru traced with the ac
curacy and precision of an experienced
hand. Gov. Wolcott, in pointing out the
remedy, says, “ I hope it will not be deem
ed presumptuous if 1 say-, that the people
ought to expect and lie ready to support a
system of internal revenue never to be here
after abandoned.” He thinks, that “ ex
cise duties on articles whieh interfere with
domestic industry, on the luxuries of tlie
rich, and the vires oftlie improvident, are
die. most hcnuih ial sumptuary laws which
can lie drifted, and nothing would be so
advantageous at present as to charge tile
expenses of government upon such objects.”
We concur m the recommendation to tax
articles of lu.atry, hut there is a greut di
versity of opinion in relation to a system of
internal revenue. However, ifit must be so,
let us meet it at once rather than resort to
temporary expedients.— v V. i. Nat. Adv.

The ship Repeater, capt. Young, came
up last evening from llavro, in 88 days—
The R. sailed on the Sth March—at which
time France was tranquil. One oflhe letters
states that “the political sensation created by
the arsassinution of the Duke ol’Berri has
subsid' d, and the public funds which had
fallen to 70 t’s are now at the course previous
to that event. It is urgent for the interests
of the carrying trade of the U. Stales that
Congress impose a duly on French tonnage
to countervail the disproportionate duties
levied by tins government on cottons and
other produce of tlie U. States imported in
American bottoms.”
