CONSTITUTIONALIST.
- AUGUSTA i
FRIDAY, MARCH 11. 1825.
We had a day or two since, a Rumour of
a War with Spain, the news of which it was
I said, reached the vicinity of this place by
• express. The quiz was however too pal
pable to obtain credit, or to effect the price
, of Cotton, for which purpose it was perhaps
; first put into circulation. Spain is doubt
less displeased with the policy pursued by
s the United States towards her late colonies
---but she is too powerless and treasureless
• tocarry on the war against them --how then
• should she assume an hostility'of attitude
to us ? She could only be influenced to
; such a measure by the intrigues of France,
or Russia, and we do not see that it would
: particularly interest these Powers to pro
, (luce a result which would deprive Spain of
• the tsland of Cuba, and place England in
■ open opposition to the overstrained politick*
iof the Legitimates. As for a Declaration
s of War on our part-- we can keep the pi
rates in chock without resorting to a men
sure, productive of serious inconvenience ;•>
i our agricultural and commercial interests
The late Spanish Provinces are far

“ Oh, could the ancient Incas rise again
! How would they take up Israel’s taunting strail)?
Art thou then fallen Iberia?
1 * Thou that hast wasted earth, and dnr’d despise
Alike the wrath and mercy of the skies ;
Thy pomp is in the grave, thy glory laid
Low in the pit thine avarice hath made,
*W e come with joy from our eternal rest, 1
To see the oppressor in his turn oppress’d.
Art thou the god, the thunder of whose hand,
Roll’d over all our desolated land,
Shook principalities and kingdoms down
And made the mountains tremble at his frown?
The sword hath fallen upon thy boasted pow’rs,
And wasted them as thy sword wasted ours.”
The trial of Desha for the murder of Ba
ker, hasbu* added to the excitement Exist
ing previously in Kentucky. The Jury re
turned a Verdict of Guilty, but the Court
after argument ordered a new trial, not so
much it appears, upon tiie merits of the. case,
as because the Jury had been threatened,
and had held conversations with other per
sons, which were calculated to influence
their minds. The facts of the case, as we
learn them from the papers, are altogether
circumstantial, there being no positive evi
dence of the killing by Desha—but the cir
cumstances are strong, and betray a wan
tonucss of guilt without a parallel. It is
said the Governor is making every effort to
save his son. tie has an example for imi
tation in the Roman Brutus—-but if he
should turn from it in disgust and honor—
he is rather to be commiserated,than con
demned.
It has been intimated to the editors of
the National Intelligencer, by the Nation
al Journal, that if they have repented of
their sins they will be treated civilly by the
new Administration. Messrs. G. and S.
say (hat they have no reason for regret or
repentance.; and the vote of the House of
Representatives, by which they were elect
ed the Printers to that body, plainly shews
(hat they need not fear the frowns of the
Executive although they refuse to bow
down and worship that department of the
Government. We hope that the Journal,
in giving this hint to the Intelligencer, does
not speak the language of Mr. Adams. If
sins or errors are to be remembered by one
party—they will probably not be forgotten
by the other—and—he who lives in a glass
house should not be the first to throw stones.
