.7 strange Judgment.—In a suit lately tri
ed before a justice of the peace of Northum
berland county, the justice nave judgment
against one of the witnesses for the amount
of the plaintiff's damage and costs of suit.
If true, the foregoing is “ a strange .judg
ment” indeed, Si reminds us of the “strange”
proceedings of a late Columbian constable.,
w ho in the absence of the plaintiff, at whose
request an execution had previously been
issued, levied upon and sold his property !
The defendant, however) (who was no doubt
very glad to bo thus extricated from the
scrape) very generously refused to receive
fut; amount of the execution !—Enquirer.
Despatch of business.—On Monday last
a young lady attended the County Court, of
Chesterfield, for the purpose of choosing
a guardian. The guardian was chosen,
and consented forthwith to his own union
w ith his fair w ard. A licence was imme
diately issued, and th*i happy pair became
mau and wife before they left the spot.
Fair ladies ! go ye and do likewise.

A letter from a gentleman in Savan
nah, dated -Mill ultimo, to one of the editors
of this paper, says—“ Things arc in a stran
state here, and it is difficult to conjecture
how they are to end. The United Slates
Branch Bank has had the hills of the Slate
and Planters’ Banks protested, in conse
quence of their refusing to pay specie; tne
hills of both banks are still received however
at the Branch Bank, Init the hills of the I)a
rien Bank are refused 1 am told either in
payment or on deposito. This I am induced
to think is but the commencement of a sys
tem intended to bring about the. destruction
of the State Banks, which is perhaps quite
practicable from the advantage afforded to
the U. States’ Bank by its having the com
mand of tlie U. States’ funds.”
That the Bank of the United States will
never cease to exert all its means to annilii-
^ late the state institutions, until that end hear.--
qiiiltplislicd, regardless of the distress which
it must necessarily produce in the commu
nity, does not seem to admit of a doubt.—
Already, in consequence of the proceedings
above alluded to, have some of the strongest
mercantile lioises in Savannah been com
pelled to stop payment. Is it fair, that the
• Bank of lliu United States, while she will
not issue hcrovfe notes, should endeavor to
discredit the only circulating medium amen
us ? If this mitEure produce, as is expect
ed, permanent injury to our local Bunks, the
State will be no small sufferer—her interest
.in the State Balks, if we are correctly in
formed, is little has than two millions of do!
iars.

FOR TRK bOUTHF.HH RECORDER.
To ROBERT WALSH, Ji’NR, Esq.
The love of literary fame is far from beinf
despicable, and to excel in a knowledge of
just government is one of those proud dis
tinctions, to which every individual of talents
ought to aspire—But wild the one becomes
ostentatious and the other dictatorial, a pro
rat occasion is produced for the exercise ot
[ml,lie resentment. You are not the only
person who has been unabe to withstand the
fascinations of flattery, and the very news
papers of the Union, wLjch you now so
Uch affect to despise, and whose “ intom-
nerate mood and coarse phraseology it will
• . .• — r to corrett
rhange of public sentiment, without arroga
ting to myscll tlie spirit of prophecy, I now
prouuuiicu to lie impracticable: bull will
not hazard my judgment so far, as to ex- 1
press myself with the same or equal coufi-
dence, it your plan succeeds ; in the tumult
ot uvif war, virtue loses its sway, and there
ire nut wanting cases, in such scenes of strife
ind contusion, where, 1 will not say worse
lor that would be impossible, hut fully as im
probable events hat.- occurred.
1 ho mass u! yiod sense, virtue, peace and
«i noble jrcncrusiiy, which has ho much and
so long characterised the great majority of
our northern brethren, has afforded « ram-
part against the open and secret shafts of
selli-li and designing politicians, and there
would now be nothing to dread, from that
organized laetion, of which I presume you
are to he the future leader, hut for the insi
dious use attempted to he made of the re-
igiiiui impulse of the (ouutry.
brum true religion there is nothing to fear
and every thing io hope, but from mi active
and aspiring ele gy we would be profiting
little by tlie cxperierce of the world if we
did not expect any tiling. Possessing such
complete dominion over the affections of the
public mind, unconnected as they are with
the administration of affairs, displaying the
semblance, ot such disinterested zeal, and lift
ed entirely above temporal concerns, they
are safe under any form of government, and
perhaps there is none so unfavorable to tiieir
views and standing as tne one in which there
can be no “ establishment of religion" and
where every one is indulged in the “free ti
f irise then of."* And I have alway > believed
that if ever this government is overliirnei
there will he the quarter in which tile lever
w ill lie inserted.
It is a great misfortune that in any country
religion and the Clergy should lie identified,
and that the veneration which is due to the
former, is so often blindly transfer., d to the.
latter—The popish religion w ill illustrate my
meaning. They arc nothing hut mere men,
possessing the same unaltered passions, and
often gi eater prejudices than others, and all
history shews that whether they have been
acting in church or state their footsteps have
uniformly left the print of blond, anil their
trail has been marked by desolation—.Hence
in all matters of civil government they ought
to he viewed with an unsleeping jealousy.
I will not he so uncandiJ as to aUUvn tnat
while such an animating glow of pjtibmthro-
Iiliy was overspreading tlie United blutes,
through the agency of the various benevo
lent societies, imparting us they did an elec
tric sensation throughout tlie whole moral
structure of society, that the dismemberment
of the Union, or any other great political oh
jec.t was specifically in view—But 1 will say,
and fee 1 a confidence that I shall be believed,
that the. ardour of feeling, which this virtu
ous excitement had generated, has been sei
zed by arcli political intriguers (because the
subject of slavery could be so artfully inter
woven with it) the better to ensure success
to their deep machinations. And 1 w ill fur
ther say, that since the subject has assumed
distinctive character, and gradually uiifuld-
d its purposes, it has received, in and out
jf town meetings, a countenance and support,
from a certain class of indiv iduals, reverend
I'you choose, marked by a temper and teel-
ing perfectly uncharacteristic oi' the ineek-
icss of their lowly master. The charitable
Imposition of the limes, and the pious fervor
of an innocent hut deluded people, have lie.en
pressed into the service of a restless cabal,
whose aim, beyond their own personal ag
grandizement, lias been any tiling, but jus
tice, honesty or patriotism.
When therefore you were 'enlisted into
this junto, w.is llm boj.dy so great that you
dared to stake the reputation of a work of
immense labor and research, together with
your ovv n consistency »l character, on such a
doubtful issue? Was it a matter of indiffer
ence to you whether the well earned laurels
you had gathered in a successful combat
with the British critics should flourish or
wither? Why did you not point your eiu-
to the record of sentiments, which
ployers
could not now be withdrawn from llie pub
lie, where you stood pledged to maintain
vnd support very different opinions tro.n
theirs? Why did you not refer the.ni to
your “appeal,” and particularly to the fol
lowing remarkable paragraph, adduced by
you uniting many other instances u! disgust
ing inconsistency and Humanly hostility ol
the Edinburgh Review towards your insult
ed country ; there you remark—“in the last
pages of the article (from the Edinburgh lle-
vievv) on Birbeck’s travel*, it is elaborately
maintained by the Reviewer that the Ame
rican union will continue: hut in the next
number of the Journal, we are tol.l that
is scarcely possible to conceive that such an
empire is the American should very long, re
main undivided.’ “The truly sound doctrine
of the article on Birbeck (first mentioned)
furnishes the best answer to this assertion.”
Mien von quote that article, and having cal
led it “sound doctrine" and tile “'lust an
swer" which could be made to the Review
er’s assertion relative to the “ division” of
the American empire, you thereby make it
your own. It is as follows:
“ It might bo proper to consider the real
ground of stability w hich the government of
America possesses before we decide in so
positive a manner against it. There can he lit
tle doubt the whole question turns upon the
difference of American and European socie
ty, and the total want in the former of that
rube of noliticabcharacters which abounds in
the lutlcY. In America, all men have abun
dant occupation of their own, without think
ing of the state. Every person is deeply in
terested and perpetually engaged in driving
his trade, ami cultivating his land : and little
time is left to any one for thinking state
affairs, except as a subject ot Conversation.
not citable those persons successfully to ap
peal to the hulk of the community, with the
prospect of splitting the union. The cau
tious and economical character of the Fede
ral Government seems admirably adapted
to secure its hold over the affections of a ra
tional and frugal people.”
What commentary is due to this extract ?
One that you have made yours by adoption,
and compelled it to subserve so valuable a
purpose. Are you the person that is to con
duct a national paper, intended to lead, and
give tone to, the polities and literature of U-
nitod America, a gazette “devoted not to
party, Imt to national interests, to the incul
cation of truth, ami the detection of impos
ture One that is to have a “ tincture of
letters and liberal science, ready to applaud
or condemn, as truth and the national weal
may seem to require ?”
The man who can, in one breath, say that
a “ preacher of insurrection might sately he
left with such personages ns the American
farmers; and until the whole frame of socie
ty alters, he would not he able to make a
successful appeal to the hulk of the commu
nity with a prospect of splitting the union;”
and in the next declare.!, Unit “ tlie non-slave
holding state* not onl.-/ could exist in a sepe-
ritle confederacy, but trovld be sure to flourish
and maintain themselves in independence and
prosperity against all the world !" Thu man
who enquires yesterday, what “projector
chance can counterbalance in the eyes of the
Americans, the benefits conferred by the U-
nion,”and to day roundly asserts, that if di
vided, “ in a few years they will contain a
population of eight millions of freemen of
(lie most hardy, industrious, intelligent, and
enterprising stork : with the purest political
constitutlbns; with a uniform face, andar-
irangnmetd of society; with every variety of
climate and excellence of soil: with all tlie dis
positions, resources, ami establishments fit
ted to produce a homogeneous, enlightened,
powerful, and enduring nation !” The man
who, in one hour, breathes his res. r.tful re
proaches against the “ preachers” of disuni
on abroad, where they are harmless and can
least affect us, and in the next, is himself a
teacher of the rami; revolting doctrine at
home ! It can not he, unless indeed you have
been such a reader of British Rev iews, on
die. contemptible understanding and grovel
ling charaoti r of llio American people, as
that you have become a convert to their opi
nions, and have now coalesced to play off'
upon us the same miserable farrago of ribal
dry, and still more unprincipled calumny.
I shall make one more quotation from
your work before 1 proceed to an examina
tion of your late justification, a defence
fraught w ith your usual ingenuity, hut hear
ing upon its countenance a bolder front of
indecorum. In t!m preface to your “ ap
peal” you observe, •till in answer to the piti
ful slanders of England, that “ there are
some points at least, as to which the ‘ free
dom that rcijSij in the United States of A-
inericn,’ would not seem to be incompati
ble with unanimity. li‘ tlie whole popula
tion of these states were canvassed, perhaps
not one individual would l.e found disaffect
ed to tlie form and constitution of their go
vernment. The number malcontent with
the system'of administration, or distrustful
of the ability ami integrity of the present
executive councils, is certainly so small as to
disappear on a glance at the m:i«j of citizens
iodic- opposite temper of mind—Firmissi-
inv.m imperium quo obedienits gaadeul."
I have se'ccted this as the last extract on
this head of my subject, because from the
place where it is found, it is perhaps the last
deliberate expression of your own opinion,
and as that bears a very late date, to the cu-
; .* may he sonic matter of!: terest to
speculate upon tin 1 precise period of your
•ipostacy. Do you not apprehend that your
critical adversaries will consider it as nothing
but a conspicuous flourish in your frontis
piece, and in their talent for mean invective
ami love of low abuse, denounce your state
ment as tlie empty boast of a political brag
gart ? May they m l a-k, where now is the
liu.h of your-splendid Entin maxim? Where
uowislhat “firmest reJm which all delight
to obey ?” W here is the sincerity of your
declaration, that “ perhaps not out indi* idu-
al would be found disaff. eted to the. form
and constitution of his government r”
What apology will you render for swell
inconsiderate dissimulation? Perhaps for
yourself none is necessary, and fortunately
i’or your country, you haw- tell tile question
perfectly unsettled, and placed the critics in
a most perplexing situation, for having borne
your testimony, 1:1 terms so directly oppo
site,it will lie eutiilcd to neither weight or
belief, and while they are suffering in their
doubts, you, if it is any comfort to you, will
be experiencing the fate of all false witnesses.
