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 yond the reach of Ferdinand—tAei , marching forward full of strength and gia ,: - ; ness, under the light of liberty-— he lord of a desolate and g 1 kingdom. “ 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. -rt/'We- The JEditors of the Intelligencer and of the National Gazette have been engaged in i a learned controversy about the meaning of the verb to expect.
