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- dient and humble servant, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

It is desir able, we Ireely admit, that appointments should not frequently he made from the two Houses of Congress. But, admitting 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 appears to he the opinion of a majority of the House of Representatives. At the same time, the vote in favor of the amendment was so respectable that it is probable it will not he without its effect ou future appointments.—Nat. lnt. Norfolk, April 17. 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 tal.—Herald. mm* 11J1 f ^ -#T 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, "ould indeed be, what it has been ^ 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. [.Vut. lnt.] .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 vanced in the science of politics, who knows the full force of that maxim.

We do not coioider the decision, above mentioned, as conclusive of the intention of Ihe House of Representatives finally to net on the lull, during the session, but a., expres sive of their ilesiie to do so. A decision was eoutenipnraneou?l v had in the Senate, favorable lo the Manufactur ing Interest, requiring the Army to he cloth ed exclusively in articles of Domestic Manu facture. A hill has been reported in the House of Representatives, authorizing a Loan of Two Millions of dollars for the current year, and lor other purposes. The “oilier purposed are, that such part of the. appropriations of ten millions of dollars, for the year 1820, for the payment of the intere-t, and reimburse ment of me principal oftlie Public Debt of the United States, as shall remain unexpend ed on ihe .list day of December, 11120, shall on that d iy he carried to the credit of the surplus fund. The hill for the relief of the Surviving Officers of ihe Revolution, has been rejected, in the House of Representatives; we may say, decisively rejected : for, after its failure, on the exhibition of such zeal and ability in its favor, hacked hy the unwearied industry of,a special agent in its support, there is little hope of its ever being again brought forward w till a prospect of succors.

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.
