FEDERAL ABUSE OF IRISH CHARACTER.

To the Editor of the Louisiana Aioertiecr. Sir—With a full consciousness of the inadequsey of my strength, to tho labor which I have undcv> ken, I still indulge in an humble hope, that my K heclcs will not shorn the fate of thoso of “Cos- re," at the Scige of Troy. The period, has evi dently arrived, when an Imperative, tiny, a paw- mount duty of self defence, has devolved upon the numorous, intelligent, and mspcctable Irishmen of this city, Bailey Peyton, a lying lawyor^who, “ Ica rus" like, has falleu from the height to whteh he had been elevated, by the fatuity of those who once sent him as tltcir representative to Congress; and who thinking that “When a man U lacking in ability! To push his fortune ho must try scurrilllty," a mode of procedure which lie has adopted with* vungennee, when in tho plontltude of his ignorance and effrontery—he, in opon court, stigmatise* the wholo of tho Irish residents in tho United States, as tho " Scum of/Jem/**—rascals—runnngntes! .. Whom th ir overcloyod country vomits forth v To desperate adventure and destruction." with tho view, no doubt, of obtaining u foothold fur the (udder of hit renewed ambition upon the mint of their reputation and character. Should his. t. tack be permitted to pass unheeded, and without some evident demonstrations being shown of the lirm determination of tho rcspcctnbl* portion of tho Irish community, to propuro for. and put down fu ture aggression, there are many .who will eagerly avail tlunttelves of the opportunity of “throwing wuteron tho drowned nit, the covnrt inuendo, ana MU. BAILIE PEYTON. This personogo, who distinguished himself s* much whllo in Congress, as one of tho tail of Mir Hknry A. Wish, the Virginia Hotspur, and who was ono of the celebrated Committee that examin ed the sleek Conservative, Mr. Reuben M. Whit ney, and who showed his'liberality, by telling tho latter, who happened to look at his Highness Bai- lir.PrytoN, “ to take his d—d eyes off him, or he'd shoot him!" This notorious individual, find ing that Old Tennosaeo was too narrow a field for a man of his cloth, has latety taken up his real* dencoin New Orleans, where ho has commenced the practice of law.. On a late trial for manslaughter hi that city, Mr. Pryton was one of tho counsel in tho case. He * saw fit- to Introduce Irish character into his ha rangue, for the purposo of traducing it. -He abus ed that class of our chitons without exception rend branded them at furocinus, brutal, and unmanly beings. All who heard him, declared tho outrage to be shnmoftil. A writer signing himself “ Grat tan," drew public attention to it in the Louisiana Advertiser. A groat sensation ha* lioen produced by tho intemperate and gratuitous usiortlona of Mr. Pktton, and, of course, the party with which he acu. have endeavored to sustain him. Tho Adver tiser, however, is an exception; as tho editor of that paper is an Irishman, and yet, strange to say, he is also a IVAig. This is net tht> first time, however, that the Fed cralists have abused and maligned die countrymen of a Montgomery—a Sullivan, and a Jasper. The concoctors of.the Allen and Sedition Laws did * all they could to deprivo them of the elective fran chise, and close tho portnls of the Constitution^*© that they should not enter within the walls of the . templo. Such conduct can only Injure those who are silly enough to endeavour to brand a wholo nation with ruffianism. The Constitution and the lawe are abundantly strong to sustain the rights of our clti- * tens, native or adopted—and the good sense of tho American people, who fiavo taken a Iguon from their forefathers, who accomplished the regenera tion ofiheir country, aided by a Pulaski, a Stku- ukx, a Kosciusko, a Lapayktte, a Stirling, and a Montoomkrt, will'put down anything like |-cr* sccution.

He. is not sustained by tbo lofty imagination of such Irishmen as a Burke, o Grattan,*or l Curran. Well would It be for him, if somo of their blood flowed In his veins— then would he know what truo oratory was—then would ho feel how supremely ridiculous a man in his situation must appear; in which tho words of the poet are fulfilled— “tmmodest words admit of no defence. And want of decency i^ want of sense." malicious sneer of those opposed to us, will bo con- verted Into open denunciation, and many an embryo iawyor, will conceive that ho has found n short and safe road to notoriety In the violence and virulence of his attack upon the Irish—tho consummation of all which, may possibly result in tho estimate of them in this city’s approximating to the level iff that of iu sorvilo population.

I remain Sir, your obedient servant, GRATTAN. Catml street, June 10th, 1839. GREATNESS. This word is much perverted. Indeed, we sel dom see it properly applied. ^ Every thing Is in pro portion, and therefore, things are great only in proportion to those that are greater or lesser.— Fancy has much to do with greatness—comparison has more. We consult our own views, whflh wo call a man great, without proper reference to the mean! ug of the word. A Cjesar, an Alkxandkr,• Washington, a Napoleon, cannot bo found every day. Neither can a great man be seen in every hamlet. It is true, few of the smallest villages in our country ere devoid of what their inhabitants term a great mo and he would naturally rather be the Cjksar of his town, than be second in Romo. But when he goes abroad, he finds his level—his fancied superiority disappears. .Greatness is too often understood to be greatest —and yet what it greatest to our eyes may be no thing In tke eyes of other*. -• We ore justified when we say “ God is great," for He must be greater than all. As ho was the ^*fi?rtt Cause, so He is tho Greatest. But we cannot define greatness further.

He decided that the evidence in the case hnd shown the lot in controversy to be in possession of the citizens at the period of the cession of L*>ui*- Una to the United States by France, as n part of the commons of tbe city; tliat the court could see no dis tinction between the present and a former suit of the parties, in which the property in the quay or Levee was claimed by the United States, and in which tbe Supreme Court of tbe Upited States decided against them; he therefore ordered that the plaintiff 1 * suit . be dismissed, and that tlie defendants recover tbe Acosta expended in the case.

Tho Hotel, with all iu out buildings and several small buildings adjoining, were consumed, when by great exertions oftho Fire Companies and citizens,tho pro gross of the flames wu* effectually checked. The Hotel was owned and occupied by Mr. Hale, and was, we understand, fully insured, $8000 in the In surance & Trust Company of Charleston—balance in othor office!-— the amount not known.—C’Aar* lesion Mercury, 19th inst. THE FIRE IN AUGUSTA. Wo give the following particulars of the firoin Augusta, ftom tbo Chronicle 4* Sentinel, of the 19ih inst. Yesterday morning, about halfpast two o’clock, a fire broke out in the Planters’ Hotel, in this city, and tha building being entirely of wood, except the ,lt basement • lory ,lt was quickly wrapped in flumes,and consumed with astonishing rapidity.. With it, also, all the buildings standing on the satre square were burnt down, except one wing - f an old warehouse: but these were|incon»iderable, consisting chiefly,of houses attached to the hotel, and some old t houses formerly occupied by John Reese, nnd recently by C. Miner, as a livenr atahlo, at presen usi-dinpartby Messrs. H. & G. Hot.diey, for the purpose of storing carriages. One wing of thin, as slated above, is loft standing. One or two buildings west oftho hotel, and across a small street were burnt down. All the property burnt, except onesmnll.nnd unimportant building, belonged to Samuel Hale, Esq.,and, we understand, was cover ed by insurance to tho amount of $14,000 on the buildings, and $0,000 nn tho furniture. His toss mny bo -stated in tho whole at about $25,000, being $,5,000 more than the amount of hi* insurance. Although tho morning was perfectly calm, yet thorn was great difficulty in preventing tho fire from extending both oast and west; and hnd there been a strong wind, the consequences would hnvobeon dis astrous to tho city in theoxtreme. As it was noth ing but tho Unluted situation of tho hotel, on a square toiuclf, nnd at a distance from Board street, pre vented a very goncrai conflagration. Being a very large and entensive building four stories high, and tho weather having been for somo time past very dry, tho magnitude jind heat of tho flames will read ily beconcoivod by^thc distant loader. Whether the fire was the result of accident or de sign, has not been ascertained, and our inquiries into that matter are altogether unsatisfactory, and do not justify us in expressing our opinion either *y.

The plaintiff la an Ital ian barber, and the defendant is n young mcrchnnr. irertlcal wisdom, who committed also adornment of tho most impor tant part of his person to tho care oftho plaintiff. This necessarily brought the defendant frequently to tho plaintiff’s shop, and on somo of those occa- ■ion* whllo tho plaintiff was shaving tho defendant’s bonrd or cutting or curling his hair, tho defendant made himself merry at tho barber’s ovorgrovfn whis kers and chin tuft, whlchhe said mado tho plain-, tiff resemble a poodlo dog or a female baboon.

Tho corpse was noa. ly divested of clothing. An inquest was held on the body next day, and it was a mere mangled lump of putrefaction—ono log, thigh, nnd hand entirely gone, supposed to havo been tern off by tho alligators or fish.

Buckingham, the Oriental Jtruvoilor, his lady end ton. He had returned late from .the delivefy of Ids first lecture on Palestine in the Presbyterian ChuTch, and sitting uploading for tome time after, he had not long retired to rest when the alnrm of fire was first given, but the flames then bunting nut in a remote part of the hotel, he was enabled to bring out Ids family in p -rf.-ct safety His faithful man servant, however, o native uf Ireland, in re maining too long to assist in saving as much of the property as could be roiruod from tho flumes, had to lower down the trunks by a rope of bed sheets tied together from the bed ro**m windows,and throw ing out after these, all the matrasses and feather bed** at hand, ho leaped on to them from the height of up wards of twenty fret—eveiypasrago out nf the house being (Iran blocked up by flame', and received a ■light injury from the fall, hut medical attendance being immediately procured, he in expected speedi ly to recover.

The papers do not give a full account, but so far os wo lenrn, tho capturing of such vessels is not sufficiently p*.p. ular, nnd one of tho slave captains wns rescued by tho mob. Subsequently, a steamboat was passing near tho British ship and was hailed—no answer waa given; whether the silence was intentional, or whether tho no'so of machinery prevented the cap- tdin of the steamer from hearing, is not known. A gun wo* fired from the British ship, and tho bnli struck a passenger of the boat in the forehead, and killed him; his wife, to whom had been re cently married, was standing at his side, and was wounded slightly in tbo nose. This caused a terri- bio commotion on the shore. The English captain attempted to land, but was driven back; he then brought from his vessel armed force, but was un able to get on shore- We see by ono of die latest papes that a demand had been made upon the Brit- sh commander for tlw person who discharged the kgun.

Shocking Accident.—In all the horribles which as a newspaper editor wc have chronicled, we do not recollect to have met anything more shocking than the following from tbe Boston Mercantile Journal of Wednesday: On Friday afternoon last, a shocking accident happened on board tbe sloop BeJvidere, Capt.

A turn was taken round tbe windlass— but tbe cook being busy in assisting on tbe fore castle, unfortunately got his bead In tbe bight of tbe rope, which by some means got a round Umt around bis neck.

THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THE MECH- LENBURG DECLARATION. We find the subjoined notice in tlie N.

Tito accusation is in substance that he copied from tbo Mecklenburg Declaration—Issued in Mecklenburg, N.

The Mecklenburg Declaration wa« actually framed end issued qn tb*20th of April, 1774—mure titan a year before tho Declaration nf Congress- hut Mr. Jefferson had probably never seen or heard of it when ha drafted the world—renowned document Peter Force, Esq. of Washington, 'in pursuing his antiqiisrian researches, has discovered a North Car olina paper printed six weeks after the Mecklen- butg Declaration, and containing that disputed dne- ument—but not the passages which Mr. Jefferson is aecnsti of copying from it. These must there- fare have been stolen from tho National Declaration at some subsequent period by soma busydNtdy, and engrafted upon its Mecklenburg namesake. Th# evidence is conclusive, both that iher* ares* prima ry Declaration at M*ck snburg, and tbit Mr Jtffer- son borrowed nothing from it.

We take the following from the Journal of Com merce of the 17th inst :— The following letter appoared in mnstoft'ie Morning papers of Saturday. Wo said that Mr. Cowperthwait wns here, on the anihority ofsovernl, gentlemen who asserted it positively. They must turnover, have boon mistaken, and so of course wore we. The metenntilo community, we think, under stand the matter very well in general. To the Editor. I had supposed tliat my former communication of the 11th instant, relating to tho Cotton Circular, would have satisfied tho Editors of tbe Journal of Commerce, but in this expectation it seems I havo been mistaken. Hnd the Joumnl confined its re marks to statements founded on inference, I should have disregarded their assertions as unworthy of no tice; but ns they havo assumed tho responsibility of using tho expression "we know." it cannot bo sub mitted to with impunity. In thoir paper of yester day, is an editorial nrticio containing tho following extract: " Lastly, Mr. Dunlap, the President oftho Bonk, Mr. Cowperthwait, tho Cashier, and Mr. Bovnn, of tho Philadelphia house nf BeVnn and Humphreys, were all hero and spot tho'day on Thursday, and were in consultation with Mr Wilder nnd Mr. Rockwell, nnd wo know that Mr. Wilder was in consultation with Mr. Dunlap, with ono of these Circulars in his hand." In relation to tho abnvo, I deem it my duty to say, and Ho it in tho most explicit manner ist. It is utterly false that Mr. Cowperthwait was in the city on Thursday, ns stated above, or at any time for several weeks past. 2d.
