;Jir second commanded by col. Howard,
was concealed in the wood itself, and cop-
»i,tcd of his marksmen and old continental
troops—Col. Washington with hi" cavalry
was posted behind the second division, as a
reserve. Tarleton soon ennui up and form
ed in two lines—his infantry in the, centre of
each, and his horse on the flanks. Every
thing scerocd to promise him victory. He
was superior in cavalry, and his troops, both
officers and soldiers, manifested an extreme
ardor. The English attacked the first A-
raerican line—after a sing|e discharge with
little harm to the enemy, it fled in confusi
on. They then fell upon the second—hut
liere they found a more obstinate resistance.
The action was engaged and supported with
equal advantage. Tarleton, to decide it in
his favor, pushed forward a battalion of his
■second line, and at the same, time directed a
charge of cavalry upon the right flank of
the Americans. He was afraid to attack
their left, supported by col. Washington,
who had already vigorously repulsed an as
sault of the British light horse. Themanten-
■vre of Tarleton had the expected effect—
the American regulars gave way and were
thrown into disorder. The English rushed
on, persuaded that the day was now their
own. Already Tarleton with his cavalry
was in full pursuit of the routed, when col.
Washington, whose troop was still entire,
fell upon the enemy with such impetuosity,
that in a few moments lie had restored the
battle. During this interval, col. Howard
had rallied his continental troops, and led
them back upon the English. Col. Pickens
had also, by prodigious efforts, re-assembled
ihe militia and again brought them to the
fire. Morgan was visible every where—his
presence and words re-animated tile spirits
of his soldiers. He profited of that moment
of enthusiasm to precipitate them in one ge
neral charge upon the enemy. The shock
was so tremendous, that the English at first
paused, then recoiled, and soon fled in con
fusion. The Americans pursued them with
inexpressible eagerness. It was in vain that
the British officers employed exhortations,
prayers and threats to stay the fugitives—
the discomfiture was total, Tarleton lost, in
dead, wounded and prisoners, more than
800 men, two pieces of cannon, the colors of
the 7ih regiment, and all his carriages and
baggage." •

THE SEA-SERPENT.
Portsmouth, (N. II ) August 4.
On Thursday afternoon about 4 o -
clock, as Mr. Samuel Duncan of Newcas
tle (an Inspector employed in the Cus
tom House of this port) was engaged in
fishing near the entrance of this harbor,
he saw the Sea-Serpent lying asleep on
the water, about a quarter of a mile trom
Bush-Island. He at first supposed it to
he a large log floating on the water ; but
on approaching within about 100 yards,
the Serpent immediately moved with
great rapidity towards the west, and ap
proached near to Odiorne's Point. In
his motion through the water, ho shewed
five bunches at a time, about tire (eet a*
part : presenting the appearance of five
porpoises following each other in a right
line. He was seen distinctly, while go
ing about a mile and a half. When he
came near Odiorne’s Point he turned, and
made towards the Shoals. Mr. Duncan
was in a whale boat, accompanied by his
6 on about 18 years old, and by Mr.
Jonathan Vennard, who both saw the
Serpent.
About 6 o’clock the same afternoon,

Mr. Duncan was hailed by a man in ano

was. The Serpent came directly to

feet of the stern ; when he suddenly
changed his course, and went off towards

FOR TI1E SOUTHERN RECORDER.
TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
No. II.
I might urge “ the Trio” still further in
tracing out the consequences fairly deiluci-
ble from their standard of republican purity.
By appealing to tile Journals of Congress, 1
might prove that not one eminent man of
the republican party, who lias been much
engaged in the important events of our poli
tical history, not even their standard of pu
rity, Mr. Macon, can fairly escape from their
sweeping charges against the administration.
Weare then compelled to admit, cither that
“ the Trio” have endeavored to establish
false standard for judging of men and mea
sures ; or that all our most eminent citizens,
long tried in the public service, and firmly
fixed in the esteem and love of their country,
have “ fallen from grace,” and are no longer
worthy of the public confidence. I will not
insult your understandings by endeavoring
to prove, which of these alternatives ought
to lie adopted. But thatthe Trio” (hem-
selves may he confounded, I will bring a-
gainst them as a witness,the very man whom
they have pronounced “ the only prop of de
mocratic republican principles in the cabinet.”
Mr. C rawford on the question of renewing
the charter of the old United Stales Bank,
in repelling an accusation against himself,
(the very same whicn is now exhibited a-
gainst the present republican majority,) dis
dainfully exclaims—“ And shall I be charg
ed with deserting the standard of the peo
ple, while I am treading in the footsteps of
the great father of his country? Shall I
tremble at the charge of apostacy which lias
been denounced against me by the gentle
man from Tennessee (Mr. Whitesides,) while
I am pursuing a course that has been approv
ed by a Gerry, a Langdon, and a Washing
ton*—men whom the wise te virtuous delight
to honor ? No—While treading in the foot
steps of these well tried patriots ami enlight
ened statesmen, I will advance with a firm,
undeviating step, unappallcd by the bowling
of party rage, more terrific than the yell of
the aboriginal savage.” It is thus he repels
tile charge of apostacy in defending what
“ the Trio” pronounce the entering wedge
the original sin of the republican usurpation;
a usurpation whose principle they have la
bored so indefalig fitly, and I will add suc-
essfully, to show, covers all the subsequent
aberrations of the republican party from the
orthodox principles of the constitution. In
such perplexity are “ the. Trio” involved by
inordinate zeal to serve a cause, without
sense to perceive that their own principles
will defeat their object. Anxious to estab
lish a system of political orthodoxy, which
will exclude the most distinguished states
men of the republican party—they become
the slanderers of all, and sink under the re
buke ofliitn whose interest they are attempt-
g to advance! In pity to them, however, I
will give them relief. I will admit that occa
sionally some of the distinguished men of the
republican party, particularly Mr. Jefferson
and Mr. Madison, have laid down,in general
terms, rules for construing the constitution,
which iftaken in the full extent, would prove
the measures unconstitutional, which these
writers denounce.
This is particularly true of Mr. Madison
and of the resolutions which he moved in
the \ irginia Legislature on the Alien and
Sedition Laws. If the rules of construction
which he there lays down, in reference to a
particular part of the constitution, are equal
ly applicable to every other part of that imlru-
mmit—(hen it must he confessed that he, at
least, cannot escape from the charge of in
consistency, and the Bank, the Tariff, and
Internal Improvements must be surrendered
is unconstitutional. But why should we
stop at these particular measures, when there
hundreds of others on thu statute-book,
which under the same rule of construction,
are equally unconstitutional ? Such forex-
ample as the whole restrictive system, cm
Imgo, non-intercourse! ami all, the erection
of light houses, the purchase of Louisiana ami
Florida, and the admission of the states of
Louisiana and Missouri into the Union.
Now, under the austere and rigid rule of
construction applied (ami in my opinion cor-
wherfc will we find the fijtie’.r, srrlien and
clause which will justify the embargo, or
tile appropriation of fifteen millions of dol
lars for the acquisition ofnn immense extent
ofterritory? For their justification we must
resort to a more liberal rule of construction,
such as tlint by which the Bank and Ihe sys
tem of Internal Improvements are brought
within the sphere of the constitutional pow
er of Congress. What then is the result ?—
Must we with “ the Trio” impeach the sin
cerity of the republican party, with Madison
at their head, for resisting on constitutional
grounds, the Alien and Sedition Laws, and
afterwards adopting measures requiring a
greater latitude of construction Ilian they
were willing to sanction in relation to those
laws ? By no means.—It is a very undiscri-
minating view of the subject that leads to
that conclusion. It is sufficient if the rule
of construction laid down by Mr. Madi
son was correct vvhen applied to the subject
under consideration—and if in the honest
zeal of his opposition, he gave a greater ge
nerality to the terms of his argument than
was consistent with rigid reasoning and a
critical measurement of the comprehensive
ness of his phraseology—it ought to bo as
cribed to that essential imperfection of the
human intellect, which renders it impossible
for the wisest man, on so complicated a sub
ject, to make all the necessary modifications
and exceptions. And if afterwards, in the
actual operation of the government,he found
himself compelled hy experience, to limit
the operation of his own rules of constructi
on, it is most unjust and slanderous to charge
him and those who acted with him, with in
sincerity and corruption. To my mind it is
perfectly clear that the same rule of construc
tion ought not to be applied to every part of
the constitution. Great and obvious is the
distinction between those provisions which
were inserted as the safeguards of freedom,
such as the liberty of conscience and of the
press—and those powers which were neces
sarily vested in the general government for
the security of the country, and lo promote
its prosperity and general welfare. That the
former ought to be construed most rigidly
against power, and most liberally in favor of
freedom, is clearly deducible from their na
ture, and the object the convention had in
view when they inserted them in the con
stitution. And such as to them has invaria
bly been both the profession and the prac
tice of the present republican majority.—
Nor is it Ies9 clear, that the same rigid rule
of construction neither has been, ought to
be, nor cun be in the various exigencies of
the country, applied to the latter description
of cases, i am aware that in argument the
distinction has not always been made, but in
practice, they neither have been confounded
nor can he lor any considerable time. As in
physics, theories are tested by experiment,
so in politics, speculation must hr by prac
tice. The rule of construction which would
be sufficiently rigid to give their full effect to
the safeguards of freedom, if applied to the
great, csseu'.i.d and protective powers of the
government, would, in many cases, be in
compatible with the independence and safe
ty of the country. Those who should at
tempt. to give it the latter application, would
find themselves continually involved in the.
most, embarrassing perplexity, between their
theory and duty ; and would be ultimately
compelled to nhandou the one for the other
Need I appeal to our own political history to
prove the truth of this position ? That of
the late tear, so recent as to lm deeply im
pressed upon all, will furnish the completes!
illustrations on this subject. But I almost
think I see a sneer upon the lips of “ the
Trio,” at the very mention of that war.—
That it is no favorite with them is apparent
not only from the general slrain of their es
says, but from the contemptuous manner in
which they affect to speak of it. “ This
same war” say they snecringly “ is a won
derful brightener of political ideas.” What
are we to infer from this ? Are they ene
mies to the war in disguise? Are they of
that faction which, amidst the eventful vicis
situdes of that glorious and successful strug
gle, rejoiced not al the success of their coun
try, hut hailed in secret, the victories of the
enemy? It is hut too apparent that “the
Trio” have no pleasure in recurring to the
history of the ble war. Jt was too severe, a
crucible for testing the ardor, the devotion
and the talents of our statesmen, it w as a
scene in which shallow hearted and hypocri
tical professions could not answer. Ileal
service was demanded—and as a necessary
consequence, genuine patriotism and steiling
talents obtained Ihe ascendency, and were
the exclusive objects of a nation’s gratitude
and a nation’s praise. But however odious
the late war may tie. to “ the Trio,” their
“ ghastly grins” and insignificant sneers shall
not deter me from referring to a portion ol
onr political history so replete w ith instructi
on. In its most trying^perinds, we witness
ed an entire abandonment hy the most rigid
of the republican party, of those narrow rules
of eonst-uction which they had erroneously
applied, alike, to every portion of the con
stitution. When experience demonstrated
their utter incompatibility with the indepen
dence and safety oftlie country, with a mag
nanimity which the occasion demanded,
they preferred patriotism »o pride of opini
on—their duty to their political consistency.
I regret to say there were even a very few
exceptions. But I have beep informed from
various sources of unquestionable authority,
that on some of the most trying occasions in
Congress, those who pursued a less honora
ble course, would to preserve their consis
tency, absent themselves at the vote,or vote
against u measure ; and to discharge their
duty, encourage others to vote for it! I pre
sume there are hundredsin the U. States who
could attest the truth of the assertion.—
Should this obvious distinction, in construing
different parts of the constitution be reject
ed ; and a mode of construction as rigid as
that contended for by “ the Trio," be uni
versally applied to it, can they doubt, that in
the event of another war, thu same result
would follow as did in the last? The ap
peal may not be felt by them. They may
perhaps he of that idle and mischievous fra
ternity of dreamers, who believe that thro’
the efforts of the Peace Society and “ Holy
Alliance,” the time is at hand when war
should be nn more ! But assuredly nothing
can be more disreputable to a party, and in
jurious to a country, than a system of poli
tics calculated only for times of profound
tranquility, and which must vanish hefor
the first blast of war, or the slightest nation
al pressure, VVe might with precisely tin
same reason, expect the most delicate Crops
cal platit to fiourish amidst the desolating

and was informed by him, that on his passage

foundation for the ubove report. This in
telligence from St. Helena, is nearly one
month later tliau any before received, ami
onr last direct and authentic accounts staled

which, the report comes in a plausible shape,
and from individuals, who would not rnslily
give circulation to any thing of this charac
ter. These are considerations, which must
have some weight, and we are willing to ac
knowledge, that we should feel more sur
prised if our next official intelligence I'r m St.

this report, than if it should he established
and confirmed. Napoleon however has bad
the luck to experience so many deaths and
so many resurrections', that we should al

St. Augustine, Aug. 4.
The following extract of a letter was writ
ten hy a gentleman who has lately explored
the bt. Johns’s River, and who is a perfect
ly competent judge of the subject on which
he writes:
“ ricolato, July 18, 1821,
“ Mv Dear Sir—You ask iny opinion of
the River St. John’s and of the Florid,is—
to answar your enquiries fully would too far
exceed the limits of a letter; in a short time
i shall, perhaps, be able, to satisfy your curi
osity by publishing my Observations on Ibis
climate.
“ I wttl only observe, that the St. John’s
is a long arid broad Bay, which receives the
impressions of the tide at more than 150 miles
from its mouth,. This bay affords the finest
navigation that I am acquainted witn—you
will find in all parts of it, after passing the
bar, up to the entrance of Lake George, 20
feet water—this Lake, to its south-east ex
tremity is upwards of 10 feet in depth. You
sec almost every where, charming perspec
tives, magnolias, laurels of every species, and
water oaks, in the shade of which the citron
and orange grow naturally, forming an ever
green curtain the whole length of this fine
river.
“ Lake George is a Utile sea, of nearly 60
miles circumference, at the extremity of
which is found a bank of shells, on which
you have only about live feet water; bill at
I wo or throe miles above this the branches
of the St. John’s reunite, and a broad and
deep channel conduct you to a Lake which
bears different names—that of Jackson is
most appropriate, it being greater than
George’s.
“ Having only been an observer of Ibis
country for three months, I should not like
to give, an irrevocable opinion. It is neces
sary, sir, to examine for a long time and with
care, a country so extensive as the. Floridan,
to be enabled to know it well.—Nevertheless,
I am well convinced, that it (be culture that
is suitable for the soil and climate, is applied
to it, East-Florida will one day become one
of the most productive states of the Ameri
can confederacy.
“ It is certain, that Coffee prospers south
of the 27th degree—five planters on Oaj
Florida make perfect crops of it.
“ The Orange and the Citron grow spon
taneously—finer than in the climates of
South-America. The Olive, although ex-
ntir, grows supprbly, and finer than in
France. The Indigo springs up under the
pines—the Mulberry, fur the silk worm, is
found every where along Ihe hanks oftlie
St. John’s. The culture of the Garancc,
or Rubia Tinctorum might equal the Adnu-
nople Red, so much sought alter. The qua
lity of the Cotton equals that of the Tropical
Colonies.— Nor must the Quinquina or Pe
ruvian Bark be forgotten, which here grows
spontaneously. Mueli oftlie land is proper
for the culture of the. Suger-Cane, tec. tec.
“ In applying to this country the culture
which suits it, it will yield, I am certain, very
rich productions.”
A letter from Pensacola, published in the
Louisiana Advertiser, says—“ I have alrea
dy spoken in general terms of the climate
and productions of West Florida—huta few
facts will carry their commentary. The
most luxuriant, and most profusely laden
grape-vine 1 ever saw, is growing opposite
my window in a seeming sand bank, arid
i(s appearance, yield iu vintage towards the
end of July. ■ A flourishing fig tree stnndR

this is the first of three crop* which the fig
tree annually yields in this climate. On the
pomegranate both flowers and ripening fruil
are Been—the fruit will he in eating next
mouth. Tho peach trees give unequivocal
indication* of the congeniality of the climate,
and n sure promise of an abundant product.
The sweet and sour oranges are common,
and thrive well. The melons of this coun
try are said to he of a very superior flavor,
and so plentiful, that swine are fed with
them. On thu estate of Mr. Emanuel, ii-
bout seven miles up the bay there arc grow
ing, ill vigorous condition, oranges, figs, apri
cots, nectarines, grapes of various kinds, the
■Spanish chesout, young dates, young plan
tains, (>ine-apple» and yams, as well as the
more common, hut not less estimable treea
of our gardens und orchards, the apple, pear,
quince, cherry, plums of various sorts,
peaches and pomegranates.
“ Judging from these fart*, wc may form
some estimate of what these provinces are
capable of producing. Coffee trees, planted
more than twenty years since, are, I am cre
dibly informed, in good bearing at this day,
in East h lorida. Cotton and rice are alrea
dy brought in considerable quantities to this
tniirka’, by the rivers that empty into the
bay of Pcosacoja. There is in East Florida
a great deal of rich luud, well adapted to the
cultivation ot sugar, and there can be no
doubt ol the success of the sea-island cot
ton, on the numerous fertile islands and keys
which Hind its coast. Th«* prickly-pear, of
tli.it species which nourishes the cochineal,
is indigenous. Tobacco and indigo need
not be mentioned—but Ihealinond.lhe olive,
thu dale, the yam, lemon, lime, citron,
guava, ginger, caper, banana, plantain, nna-
da, cocoa-nutaiul cocoa-—will naturally in
crease our luxuries and comforts. Our mul
berry, too, grows spontaneously, and would
allorel the means of feeding iiinumeralile silk
worms. IVe Imve, moreover, two of the
most beautiful and useful forest trees in the
world, the splendid live oak. The supply
ol tiaihur for our growing navy is inexlmust-
atilc. Thu country abuuuds in mill seats,
and there is no want of while pine and cy
press—our oyster shells make excellent
lime, ami no inconsiderable part of New-
Orlcans is built and covered with the bricks
,uh1 tiles manufactured in the vicinity of
Pensacola. There is, in truth, no part of this
reputed sterile region that is not convertible
to some profitable purpose. Even the sand
we tread on, besides its admirable adaption
to making mortar, is belter calculated for
fusing than any I have ever met with.—
On both alien us of the bay, for miles, the
beach is composed of a fine flint sand, as
while as salt, and entirely free from mica.—
The American glass has already been bro’t
to equal the European,even in the most dif
ficult ami costly fabrics, and, with the acqui
sition ol this oxuuwite material, will soon
guiu an acknowledged superiority. The
clay hy tho bye, in this neighborhood, is al
most line enough for queen’s ware.
“ With all these advantages of soil and cli
mate—with the balmy health home ou Ihe
wings of thu trade-winds which fan this
whole peninsula—with its great extent of
sea-coast, its numerous navigable streams
and commodious harbors, at present the re
sort of pirates and smugglers—with such a
variety of products of so different cultures—
we may expect that the Floridaa will attract
settlers from every section of the Union.—
The southern plunter will bring his slaves to
raise the great staples of coffee, sugar, cot
