V*w? : rnhSk-of thesn assailants themsel deserved tribute of admiration. If any thing was Wanted to give a high finish to his character, it was exhibited in the closing scene of his public life. Unwil ling to expose his after conduct to suspicion by accepting an oftjee from his successful rival, and not having the vanity to believe his individual services necessary to the due administration of the government, he deter mined, in spite of all solicitations to the con trary, to retire to private life, as the only course compatible with his notions of pro priety and honor. Compelled by circum stances to abandon the field to his political enemies, and suffering under the scorpion stings of unrelenting persecution, aggrava ted by bodily disease, ho never for a mo ment forgot his country : on the contrary, all his personal feelings were merged in his love for her welfare, and his worst wish for tliose who had defeated and attempted to de grade him, was. that “ they might be judged by tlieir measures It was to have been expected that much importance would be attached to the opinion of such a man on the all-engrossing subject of the next presidency. This expectation has been realized, and the administration have manifested no little exultation in an nouncing what, if true, would be good for tune to them, that this opinion was in their favour. A late National Advocate contains a letter, purporting to be from Milledgeville (Georgia,) the writer of which professes to have an intimate knowledge of the politics of that state, and asserts vmth confidence, and apparently ou authority, that Mr. Craw ford is in favour of the re-election of Mr, Adams ; and that in conjunction With the Clark party, he will carry the vote of that state for the present incumbent. An exten sivc circulation has been given to this letter, through the medium-of the presses devoted to the administration. It attributes senti ments to Mr. Crawford which he does not entertain ; and this act is the less excusable because his known character for frankness precludes the probability that there can be an holiest misapprehension of his sentiments His opinions on political subjects are as free as the air he breathes, and as often publish ed as the occasions for speaking them unoh trusively, are presented. He does notbelonsr to that tribe of cunning politicians, who oc cupy themselves in the early progress each succeeding contest, in watching the movements of the waters, hut never embark their precious fortunes till they see or think they see the perils past, and a broad and steady current that will float them peacefully into a haven of safety. Such narrow views and mean motives never find a resting place in minds like Mr, Crawford’s. It is an act of justice to himi to state, and we do so mi the most direct and unquestionable authority r ihat it is not (me that he is in favour of tfit:' ■y re-election of Mr. Adams. To leave no room Yor misapprehension as to his sentiments in thisyespect, he sometime since, by letter, apprized a member of the cabinet, ofliis de termination to oppose Mr. Adams. Mr. Crawford will unite with the great body of the old republicans in the support of Andrew Jackson for the presidency. To confon their wishes, and co-oporalc in the of their principles, baabeeri the law of conduct. |jforri4iis first catering on pubjic life down to the present time* He dwTsc in 1816, Srtion t the presidency was power ; ..but he waved his pretentions to it then in deferent to the understood ^washes of the republican party. He was ready to do so in/1824. Ifat either periodjie had been elected, we should not now have had the mortification to Witness the re-establisbment of those principles, and the restoration of those men to power, that were overturned by the political revolution of 1800, nor should we have seen that party, which under the auspicious administrations of Jefferson and Madison gave practical effect to the great principles of the revolution, now shorn of its strength and degraded in its condition. Though he did not command success, he achieved more than those who did—he de served it; and he deserves the affections ^ and the confidence of every sound republi can in the union.—Albany Argus. Dr. H. Holley, late President of Transyl vania University, Kentucky, died on the 31st ult. on board ship Louisiana, on her passage from New Orleans to New York.

Amen /” - Constantinople, May 26.—The Drogo- mnns of the Russian and English Ambas sadors since their last conference, of which the result was known, have had new con sultations with the Reis Effendi. The lat ter party has still spoken of propositions of peace, and of Lord Cochrane; and repeated iiis former declarations. On the 9th, M. de Ottenfels, internuncio of Austria, trans mitted to the Porte a note, which had been brought from Vienna, and the object of which was to counsel the Porte to accept the propositions of Russia and England.— But the Porte evaded giving to the two Courts any other answer than that which is already known x because they evidently fear by doing so, to acknowledge thereby a right of interference.—There is great curiosity to hear what measures the Courts of London and Paris will take. It is a remarkable fact that the Porte seems disposed to accom plish with exactitude the terms of the Con vention of Ackerman, as it is said with con fidence that a firman is immediately to be dispatched to the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, placing matters on a footing strictly conformable to the treaties.

Whereas, both branches of the General Assembly are too numerous, creating great expense and delay in the dispatch of public business, and is according to the population in the respective counties, very unequal—And whereas, *also, from the increasing number of members in both branches of the General Assembly, (he house set apart for their deliberations will not be safficiently large for that purpose, and will consequently be required to be enlarged at very great cxpence—Therefore, Be it resolved, That at the next General Election for members of the General Assembly, the voters be requested to signify to the ensuing Legislature whe ther they wish a convention for the special and ex clusive purpose of altering the 3d and 7th sections of the let article of the Constitution of this State, *so far as to authorise a reduction of the members of the Senate and House of Representatives, and to be ap portioned hereafter upon the principles of popu lation alone.

When those who stand high in the community, resort to such plans for amusement, and who are enabled, from ther affluence, thus to dissipate their time, they ought to recollect that man is an imitative being, and that those who cannot, from their limited circum stances thus spend their time, will be tempted to do so from their example. Notwithstanding such amusements afford a great source of vice and dissi pation, yet we find a community professing to be virtuous, allowing and countenancing Two billiard establishments to be located in the town of \Vat- kinsrille, to which not only the young, but the old resort. Our own observation also tells us that a large portion of the crimes and misdemeanours which come before Grand Juries have their starting place from the various grog shops in the county. We deem it therefore proper to request our Repre sentatives in the next Legislature, to endeavour to cut off these fruitful sources of vice and dissipation, by such means as they in their best judgment may approve. We accord with his honour in the opinion that our Judiciary is defective, and that the present manner of appointing Justices of the Peace, is of all others the least calculated to insure impartiality, integrity, and firmness. They are frequently chosen from lo cal or private feelings, and without regard to tkcar qualifications: and when we consider that the largest share of litigation is for sums under thirty dollars, and that enmes^ff eveiy description have to be in quired into by them,"we arrive at reasons wrhich are weighty, that such persons should be selected with caution, deliberation, and judgment. Wc also deplore the uncertainty in the construing of Laws, arising from a want of a Court of Errors; and though we fee) unable to recommend in what manner such a court should be constituted, still we are convinced of the necessity of a court of this de scription, and would willingly acquiesce in the crea tion of such • one as the wisdom of the country may suggest and adopt. We also recommend to our fellow citizens gene rally, the appoinfog of a Convention for the purpose of reducing the (Amber of our representatives in the Legislatnre.

T HE undersigned, in appearing a* the accuser of his fellow-citizen, Harvey Archer, whose honour bas been privately forfeited, and is now publicly im peached, is influenced by no motive except that of justice to the public. The circumstance out of which the present accusation bas grown, he will briefly slate, and leave others to draw their conclusions. Some time during the early part of January, previous to the commencing of the drawing of the Land Lottery, a proposition for a trade between myself and Mr. Harvey Archer was made, the particulars of which were as follows—Mr. Archer was entitled to two draws inthe late Land Lottery; being myself-the owner of land in Gwinnett county, in a conversation with him, an exchange of the latter was proposed and acceded to for the two former. As no obliga-, tion fn writing could be N considered binding, his honour was-pledged, in the event of his drawing, to' give pie.titles to the land, while a like obligation oif my part, was made to give him a title in, fee simple to the above tract of land at the expiration of the drawing, whether he drew or not. The conditions of the trade were- again assented to after tbe com mencement of the drawipg, and a second pledge given in the presepte of witnesses, that it should be binding. The result pro ting different from what hq had expected, having became th% fortunate drawer of tWo tracts, his Amour was sacrificed to interest, and a positive refusal made to comply with, the con ditions of a trade for the fulfilment of which his honour stood pledged. The public is left to judge’ Whether such a transaction entitles the said Archer to the confidence or respect of honest men. WILLIAM PARKE.
