4 l[flrrd so as to give them bntastighttaste,ave.
rv moderate portion indeed, of the oppression
intended for others, they opposed it. Will it
bo believed that if the heavy taxes on hemp,

I New England hatched the systom if we err
■not in our recollections. New England nur
sed it with the utmost anxiety and care. New
England defended it with unflinching resolu
linn against all the attempts that have been
nmle to strangle it.—New-England made it
wliat it was prior to 1828. And now forsooth
because New England, finding it does not ex
actly answer her expectations and purposes
consigns to forgetfulness her former affection
for t;—for this one act of righteousness flow
ing as it does, clearly from deeply interested
motives, nil her former sins are tc bo forgiven
and forgotlon.
With equal justice and propriety might the
member of a family who has been in the habit,
for a long time, of administering a slow poison
to the other members of it, to the end that be
might become sole lieirtoall its possessions,
claim to have his crimes pardoned and forgot,
because, when detected, and compelled to take
a portion of the poison himself, he makes wry
faces at it, and denounces both the ooison and
the motive of administering it,—Charity how
ever lovely and long suffering,cannot concede
a claim like this—much less will justice.—

As a set off against the abuse that has been
so lavishly heaped upon General Jackson, it
may not be amiBS to record the sentiments en
tertained of him by those illustrious patriots
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. Nor should
it lie objected to, that the testimony of his pre
sent revilers, Adams nnd Clay, be also put in
requistion. Read them:
“ General Jnckson is a clear headed, strong-
minded man, and has more of tho Roman in
him than any roan now living.”
Thomas Jf.pperboh.

which 1 stood to General Jackson, while Pre

Louisiana Elections.—We yesterday reeeiv.
ed New Orleans papers to the 20th ult. The
election returns aro so nearly completed, that
little doubt can now he entertained of the re
sult. But wo are more confirmed in the opi
nion wo offered in our last, that the public
sentiment on the Presidential election, Ins by
no means generally been expressed in favour
of the administration, during this contest for
state officers. To commence with Mr. Der-
bigny, the administration candidate for Go
vernor; he has received from 27 parishes,
nearly completing the whole number of votes,
3372, whilo his opponents have in the aggre
gate 3909, a majority against the administra
tion of 537. In the. first congressional district
where the election is concluded, Judge White
has a majority over Mr. Livingston, of 507
votes—placing the administration there, thus
far, on the “ vantage groun!.” In tho 2d con
gressional district, the Jackson candidate,
from the latest returns, and there the cotjfest
is not ended, fulls only 54 votes behind his
antagonist; and in the 3d district, Mr. Brent,
who is warmly the friend of Mr. Adams, stands
at present 159 votes behind Mr. Overton, the
friend of Gen. Jackson. From this statement,
tho conclusion is tnoro than probable, that
Derbigny will not receive a majority of the
whole votes, and therefore the election by the
people will have to fail; and of consequence it
cannot be claimed that through the state, the
administration ticket Inis succeeded. In the
first congressional district. Mr Livingston's de
feat cannot bo viewed as at all connected with
the feelings of that section on the Presidential
election, for his absence, combined with still
stronger personal objections, always rendered
his success doubtful. In tho second district,
the near approach of Saunders to the vote ob
tained by Gurley, personally, the most popular
man in his district, is of itself a victory, nnd in
Vera Cruz, was an ounce of Epsom salts with
one grain of tartar emetic, and rice or barley
water ns a drink. When perspiration appears
the disease has passed its ctisis. There was
scarce a person in Vera Cruz that had esca
ped this disease. ft was quite a subject of
merriment with the friends of the sufferer, and
so common that I believe a person might have
tho yellow fever some time befoto any body
could be made to believe it was any thing but
the Petit Fleur. It will doubtless go through
the United States, for it is ns contagious as
tho small pox or meazles, and may cxe.te some
alarm at this season ofthe year till we become
acquainted with it.—Philadelphia Gazette.
The Dengue Fever.—About which, in Cuba
and Charleston, our renders have heard so
much, scents at last to have reached us, and
that too without passing over the intervening
space, for we have not heard of it in Philadel
phia or Baltimore, or any where this side of
Charleston. One of the morning papers of
yesterday, made mention of a case in this city,
and one of the persons connected with this of
fice being the subject of some odd sensation,
was told yesterday on application to a physi
cian that “ it was nothing but the Dengue Fe
ver.” There may perhaps be some mistake
in the case that will disappoint our renders, but
tho year 17-18, bo hail
become mi inhabitant ot Gcorgin, when the Amciiei
Revolution brought him into public life. Ho was in
177ti elected a member of the Convention which formed
the first Constitution of that State, nnd afterward
cessively a Member of the Legislature and of the Exc-
culivo Council. But the dangers of tho limes soon
catted him to the field. Georgia, invaded by the Brit
ish on the sea border, and by their savage allies on its
Western frontier, was preserved by the unsubdued spir
it of a few militia. Amongst these, William Few, who
was soon raised tn the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, dis
tinguished himself tiy Iris bravery anil activity, in sev
eral aclions with tho British and Indians. ’ Augusta
having been recovered, and the savages repulsed, he
was, in the year 1780, Appnintcd a Delegate tn Con
gress, where lie continued till after tho Treaty of Peace
of 1783 He was re-appointed in 1780, anil in 1787
was chosen a member of ilte Convention which framed
the Constitution ofthe United States. Time sweeps
away with rapidity the founders of the Republic; and
James Madison now remains the only survivor of those
who prepared and signed that bond of the National
Union. Mr. Few was a Senator of the United Slates
for Georgia, from 1780 to 1703, nod having married in
the City of New Vork, removed, and spent there the
last thirty years of his life, lie represented the city
several years in the Legislature ot the Stale, till ho was
appointed by Mr. Jefferson Commissioner of Lonns, in
which office he remained until it was abolished by law
—Of irreproachable morals, nml strict integrity, he
eaivicd into private, the virtues nod the activity which
lie had displayed in public life.—His charily was exten
sive and enlightened; and, during ten years, lie dischar
ged, with great zeal, theduties uf Inspector ofthe Stale
Prison, applying all his faculties to tho improvement r.f
tile Penitentiary system, nnd to the reform of the cul
prits. But what affords the greatest consolation to his
aftlieted fninily is, thnt he lived and died an humble and
sincere believer in the Divine truths of the Christian
faith.
TOTHF. VOTERS OF CLARK COUNTY.
Fellow Citizens—It is with much diffidence that I tome

to officers “of regiments of corps, nnd^tf account was not, however, credited in

consequence does not apply to genera! offi
cers, who belong to no regiment or corps.
Ho contends thnt unless the President can ap
point Gen. Macomb to a higher grade than
Maj. General, it is impossible ho can over he
Gen. Scott’s senior—the title of Maj. General
being the highest known by law in tho Army :
tho stylo of “ General-in-Chief,” was assumed
in obedience to nn order nf the President, nnd
implies nnthing mere than, that his juniors
were ordered so to address the late Maj. Ge
neral Brown. Gen. Scott has appealed to the
authorities whence brevet commissions and
laws were derived, and to all precedent in sup
port of his claim. Whether correct or not in
his opinions, tho result will probably show.
In returning to his post, Gen. Scott does
not intend to acquiesce in the right of General
Macomb to command him. The issue, there
fore, must soon he taken, nnd a Court Martini
will, wo suppose, bo called to pass upon it.—

Dengue.—This disease has made a tour
through the islands of tho West Indies, Vera
Cruz, and it appears in this morning’s paper
that it has commenced its tour through tho U.
States, having commenced in Charleston. In
none of thc above mentioned places has it pro
ved fatal. It is called in the windward islands
the Dandy Fever, in Havana the Dingy (which
is probably a corruption of Dengue,) and Vera
Cruz the Petit Fleur, from small red soots of
irregular shape appearing on the face and body.
It attacks the patient in different ways. In
Vera Cruz it generally commences with pain
in the head and back, with weakness and nau
sea and sometimes vomiting, with desultory
stntc of affairs in the sister kingdom, the Con
stitutionalists in tho former country being rea
dy to avail themselves of any opportunity to
raise the standard of revolt.
A furious attack upon Mr. Cooper’s new
work “ Notions of thc Americans," has been
made in a London Journal, even before the
work was published.—The Times, however,
thinks “ there will be found in the work a great
deal of curious and important infoimation res
pecting that interesting country, which will be
quite new to tho English reader.”

from tho extreme pressure upon it, came down
all at once, carrying every thing along with it,
nnd burying in the ruins the multitudes under

least 1800 persons withir tho walls at thc time
tho catastrophe took place, 29 persons were
killed out-right, and about 150 were more or

Tho particular numbers that will be sold on each day
cannot be specified ; but it is intended to put the srvo-
ral kinds and descriptions hi the order here mentioned.
Thc reserves ore generally well watered nnd cmitein
several good mill seats. The area of the whole rent ot
he exactly known until the platting in completed; r-ot
twenty-one thousand acres ta the estimated quantity con
tained in both Reserves and the adjoining fractions, ex
clusive ofthe town surveys. Perhaps no body of 'and
fo the same extent can be found that embraces a grea
ter variety in its surface, soil and timber.—Kituatrd just
in thnt region where the pineoflhc lower country ehaiv
g«*8 to the oaknnd hickory of the upper; It includes both
these growths and soils in most of their varieties : irx
some portions entire, in others interspeisrd or hlencb d.
Tracts of very hilly land, or that which ia quite level, or
gently undulating, may be had of almost every quality *
either of oak and hickory, or pine,or rivertanefc; and so.
veral of these kinds occasionally united ; in tracts of
100 acres, and fractions of various sizes, adapted to
most of thc purposes for which land is wanted.
From thc pressure of tho times: and more especially
from the quantity oflands and town lots, thnt will havo
been lately in the market, these must unavoidably soli
low. And lying at the heodof navigation, immediate
ly around the third town of the State in population and
trade, there is every reasonable prospect of their soon
rising in value.
Purchasers have now nn opportunity, and apparently
thc last that will soon offer, of obtaining on cheap and
very indulgent terms of payment, choice situations for
residence, for trade or farming.
