|rl<rton. Durinsr the passage down, one
tjf the large guns on hoard (carrying a
ball of 225 pounds) was fired more than
on ce, exhibiting the great power and
capacity of that formidable weapon of
war. The Ladies had partaken ot a
sumptuous repast; the gentlemen had
succeeded them at the table, and some of
them had left it; the vessel was on her
return up the river, opposite to the fort,
where t’aptain Stockton consented to
fire another shot from the same gnu,
around and near which, to observe its ef
fects, m inypersons had gathered, though
by no na ans so many as on similar dis
charges in the morning, the ladies who
then thronged the deck being on this
occasion almost all between decks, and
out of reach of harm.
“ The gun was fired. The explosion
was followed, before the smoke cleared
away so as to observe its effect, by shrieks
of woe which announccda dire calamity.
The gun had burst, at a point three or
four feet from the breech, and scattered
death and desolation around. Mr. Up
shur, Secretary of State, Mr. Gilmer, so
recently placed at the head of the Navy,
Commodore Ken non, one of its gallant
officers, Virgil Maxcy, lately returned
from a diplomatic residence at the Hague,
Mr. Gardner, of New York, (formerly a
Member of the Senate of that State,)
were among the slain. Besides these,
seventeen seamen were wounded, several
of them badly and probably mortally.—
Among those stunned by the concussion,
we learn not all seriously injured, were
Capt. Stockton himself; Col. Benton, of
the Senate; Lieut. Hunt, of the Prince
ton ; W. D. Robinson, of Georgetown.
Other persons also were perhaps more or
less injured, of whom, in the horror and i
confusion of the moment no certain ac- 1
count could he obtained. The above '
are believed, however, to comprise the !
whole of the persons known to the Pub |
lie who were killed or dangerously or i
seriously hurt.
The scene ii|)oii the deck may be more
easily imagined than described. Nor can
the imagination picture to itself the half
of its horrors Wives, widowed in an
iri«t:rtrt by the murderous blast! Daugh
ters smitten, with the heart-rending sight
of their father’s lifeless coipse! The
waitings of agonized females! The
piteons grief of tire unhurt but heart
stricken spectators ! The wounded sea
men borne down below ! The silent
tears and quivering lips of their brave
and honest comrades, who tried in vain
to siiMne or to conceal their feelings !
What wards can adequately depict a
some like this /”
“'l’he bodies of the killed remained
on board the ship last night. They will

DEATH OF NICHOLAS BIDDLE.
The Philadelphia papers of Wednes
day last announce the death of Nicholas
Biddle, Esq. He died at his country
residence, Andalusia, on the 27th ultimo,
“after a sickness marked by excessive
pain, borne with manly constancy as long
as it was borne, and yielded tout length
without repining.” He was about fifty
eight years of age.
Tlir Uears’ia Journal,” the Into II n. John
Forartk, and the Hon. J. VI. Berrien.
The judicious friends of Mr. B. cannot
but regret that the Journal, for the pur.
pose of whitewashing his political course,
has deemed it expedient to attempt dis
coloring the public reputation of Mr.
Forsyth by charging that gentleman
with Federalism and opposition to the
British war. We are not willing to im
pute the misrepresentation of the Jour
nal to any discreditable motive, but
view it as a hold attempt to vindicate Iser
rien’s career since he became the avowed
and acknowledged chief of the Whig
party in this State.
The drift of the Journal’s remarks
seems intended to make the impression
on its readers that the noxious effects of
one man’s opinions become neutralized,
innocent, or healthful, if held by anoth
er. OrMiat two wrongs constitute one
right— two bads one best—or because,
Topaz is yellow, Ebony therefore is snow
white.
Now, we think too highly of the good
sense and sagacity of our former com
rades, when battling in an better cause
and under a prouder flag than they now
fight, for to suppose they meant anything
more than coming Ephraim Smooth over
the believers, as the magnus Apollo of
Clayi.sm in Georgia did over the great
Whig or Federalist convention in Mil
ledgeville, while explaining to them how
safe, pleasant, and beautiful the process
might be of strengthening the vitally
conservative power ot the constitution,
the veto, by paralyzing it and augment
ing the responsibi.ity of resisting by divi
ding it among Two hundred and forty,
when each man’s share would be almost
ns heavy as nothing. While engaged on
this topic the orator’s comely countenance
became radiant with that self-complacen
ry generally accompanying Ids exhibi
tions—a nice observer could delect a
slight curl on his lip at the dupery of his
delighted audience. The whole thing
was very edifying and warranted the ex
clamation—‘that’s a great mpn and well
deserves the name he’s got, the Political
desuit of Chatham.’
It is to be lamented, the Journal did
not conduct its defence of Berrien and
implied defence of Federalism without
attempting to asperse and villify the hon
oured dead.
The arch demagogue himself has not
unfrcquently resorted to the vampire
practice. When his malice, or his inter
ests crave a victim, the sanctity of the
grave, and the privacy of the retired pa
triot, are equally insecure, equally disre
garded. W hen Mr. Clay aimed a shaft
to rankle in the breast of Andrew Jackson
he scrupled not to poison its point with
slander on the memory of Robert Liv
ingston—a man, who by that triumph of
genius, humanity and judicial wisdom
the Criminal code of Louisiana has be
queathed an inestimable boon to the
world and its future generations. Com
pared with Livingston what is Henry
Clay '( What has he done for the world,
for society, for his country, for the great
cause of humauily and civilization?—
Truth answers, nothing.
To return, however, to Mr. Forsyth’s
Federalism and opposition to the war.
The truth is that while a student in
college and at the law school, where
black cockades, alien and sedition laws
and the influence of the British party
predominated, the youthful Forsyth be
came affected by the prevailing heresy,
and he returned to Georgia a federalist
and continued to act with the party alnvut
three years perhaps. But as his mind
matured and his acquaintance with Ham
iltonian Federalism and Jeffersonian De
mocracy, more exact and familiar, he be
came satisfied the former was a cunning
ly devised scheme of a certain class, to
revolutionize our government, based as
it is on the sovereignty of the people nnd
their inalienable right to govern them
selves by their representatives , into an
aristocracy of wealth and office, tending
inevitably to subvert the independence
and individual existence of the States and
form a consolidated government in which
the aristocracy would frame the laws
and the operatives and middle classes
would have nothing to do but yield in;
plicit obedience. Having reached this
conclusion, Forsyth soon decided—he
abjured his early errors and united cor
dially with the democracy of this State
then led by that eminent statesman and
pure patriot Win. H. Crawford—by that
parly Mr. F. was sent to Congress, where
he became distinguished as a brilliant
and successful debater. Some years af
ter, when it became imperative that Con
gress should decide whether war with
G. Britain, or a longer submission to the
inultipliedinsultsand aggressions she was
inflicting on us, were preferable—war to
the entrance, had not a more strenuous
and effective advocate than John For
syth. We remember in ISIS, at the
commencement in Franklin College, one
of the students recited as an exercise a
spirit-stirring war-speech of Forsyth’s;
Jlie hall rang with the glorious exclama
tion, ‘millions for defence, not a cent for
tribute.’
But, while he was thus fulfilling every
duly of a wholesoul’d American Patriot,
rallying the people round their govern
ment and shouting in his thrilling tones,
‘To your tents O ! Israel’ how were Ber
rien nnd his whig associates in Savannah
employed ? Why, by their addresses,
conversation, and through the columns
of the two notorious Federal prints,
straining every nerve to alienate the peo
ple from their government, to deprive it
of their confidence and support —this is
history—we could enlarge it into detail
and anecdote, but ou^un feigned respect
for the scholar, the gentleman, the learn
ed jurist J. M. Berrien, apart from the in
veterate Federalist nnd political intriguer
of that name induces forbearance. Be
side, it would lie ungeuerous to disturb
the repose of the aged knight, not yet re
covered from the hurts taken in his late
tilting, with senator Colquitt. By the
way, though it was the achates fidelis,
the man of all works of the political
knave of clubs, Sir Walter ought not to
have hit so hard.
Suicide ofGov. Reynolds.
There are various rumors in reward to
file motives that drove him to the rash
act, some saying it was the misconduct
of a son, others asserting tint a mania
produced by religious excitement op
pressed him. The following letter to
Col. Churchill, Post Master of St. Louis,
is the plainest statement we have met
with in relation to the unhappy event.
Jefferson • itv, Feb. 9th, 1844.
Deaf Sir—lt is with feelings of the
dcejiesl regret that I have to inform you
of the tragical death of Governor Rey
nolds.
About one hour ago he was discovered
by the tneinhers of his family, lying per
fectly dead in his room. The manner of
his death was as follows :
He procured a rifle—fastened a string
to the trigger—placed the muzzle agsinst
his forehead, and shot himself! A jury
of inquest is now being summoned.
He left a letter upon his table, addres
sed to Col. W. G. Minor. V\ hetherthis
memorial will disclose the causes which
led to this melancholyevent, is at present
unknown.
I write this note just as the mail is
leaving for your city.

IVm. 11. Crawford's letter to Hr. Dickerson.
declaratory of his decided belief In the
Unconstitutionalitr of a U 8 Bank.
We have seldom been more surprised
than to learn that the existence, genuine
ness or authenticity of that document
had been called in question. We should
as soon have expected Henry Clay’s for
mer denunciation of the U. S bank, or
that of Daniel Webster’s of the tariff be
ing denied. We referred to it as a mat
ter of such general notoriety that its in
sertion would be unnecessary, though it
was then before us in the Constitutional
ist. We have addressed a note to the
gentleman editing that paper requesting
a republication of the letter; and shall
not relax our search till it is generally
before the public. Want of space pre
vents the detail of Mr. C’s remarks when
conversing with ourselves on Yates’s se
cret debates—which we per. force deflPh
On the 26tli, the House of Representa
tives passed the following resolutions ;
and strange to relate the very next day
rescinded the 21st Rule which prohi
bits the reception of abolition petitions.
Mr. Campbell, of South Carolina, then
submitted the two following Resolu
tions :
Rc«o!ved, That justice and sound pol
icy forbid the Federal Government to
foster one branch of industry to the de
triment of another, or to cherish the in
terests of one portion, to the injury of
another portion of our common country;
that every citizen, and every sec.ion of
the country, has a right to demand and
insist upon an equality of rights and
privileges, and to complete an ample pro
tection of persons and property from do
mestic violence or foreign aggression.
“Resolved, That Congress lias no
power under the Constitution, to inter
fere with, or control, the domestic insti
tutions of the several States ; and that
such States are the sole and proper judges
of every tiling appertaining to their own
affairs, not prohibited by the Constitu
tion ; that all efforts of the Abolitionists
or others, made to induce Congress to in
terfere with questions of slavery, or to
take incipient steps in relation thereto,
are calculated to lead to the most alarm
ing and dangerous consequences, and
that all such efforts have an inevitable
tendency to diminish the happiness of
the people, and endanger the stability
and permanency of the Union, and
ought not to be con ntane: iced by any
friend to our political institutions.”
Mr. Black, of Georgia, asked that Mr.
Campbell would modify the Resolution
so as to read after the word in the
2d Resolution, “District of Colmnbia
or Territories ,” but Mr. Campbell de
clined to change it.
A motion was then made by a member
from New York to lay the whole sub
ject on the table, but the motion failed.
It was then decided by the House that
the question should be taken on the Res
olutions separately.
A still further division was asked,
which was also accorded, nnd the ques
tion was then taken on the following, and
decided in the affirmative—Yeas, 175,
nays 4.
“Resolved, That justice and sound
policy forbid the Federal Government to
foster one branch of industry to the det
riment of another, or to cherish the in
terests of one portion, to the injury of
another portion of our common country.”
Those who voted in the negative, are
Mr. Adams of Mass. Mr. Grennel of
New York, Mr. Severance of MJne, and
Mr. Winthropof Mass.
The question was then taken on the
follow proposition :
“ Resolved, That every citizen, and ev
ery section of the country, has a right to
demand, insist upon upon an equality of
rights and privileges, and to a complete
and ample protection of persons and pro
perty from domestic violence nr foreign
aggression.”
And it was adopted unanimously.
The question was then proposed on
the following proposition :
“ Resolved, That Congress has no
power under the Constitution, to interfere
with, or control the domestic institutions
of the several States; and that such
States are the sole and proper judges of
every thing appertaining to their own
affairs, not prohibited by the Constitu
tion.”
Messrs. Rhett, Payne, and Black, of
Georgia, respectively asked to be excused
from voting on this proposition as imply
ing a discretionary power in Congress as
to its jurisdiction over the institution of
slavery in the States ; but the House re
fused to excuse them.
The question was then taken on the
proposition, and it was carried in the
affirmative—ayes 151, noes 2—Messrs.
Adams and Vance.
The question was then taken on the
following proposition :
“ Resolved, That all efforts of the
Abolitionists or others, made to induce
Congress to interfere with questions of
slavery, or to take incipient steps in rela
tion thereto, are calculated to lead to the
most alarming and dangerous conse
quences, and that all such efforts have
an inevitable tendency to diminish the
happiness of the people, and eudanger
the stabilityand permanency of the Union
and ought not to he countenanced by any
friend to our political institutions.”
And it was adopted—ayes 128; noes
23.

“Ills, small at first, grow larger from delay,
“ Ami slowly eat their sad and cankering way ;
“ Thus by successive throes, the frame is torn,
•* Till health and peace of mind alike are gone.”
THi. nerves of the human body—those necessary
and mysterious agents v* hich immediately con
nec' man with external nature —are singularly prone
in have their functions disordered by an oppressed con
dition of the stomach; the imnuie termination of that
portion of he nerves expanded upon the organs of
digestion conveying the morbid impression to the Brain.
And although foe ilead can. undoubtedly, like other
organs, tie the seat of primary nsorder,yet, in the grea
majority of cases, the uneasy set satioin there experi
enced are symptomatic of disordered Stomach; and,
further there" is abundant evidence to prove that crudi
ties in the Stomach and Bowels can, in every grade of
huinhn existence give rise to spasmodic action in every
organ of the bodv ; and whether we survey it in the
agonising form of Tie Doierennx —the alarming con

DYSPEPSIA CURED.
BENNINGTON, Vl Dee. sth, 1343.
Dear Sir:—l w ish you to add my testimony to the
host ~f others that mu hav», in fsvet of your valuable
Pills. In the v *ar 1838, 1 was attacked with that dis
agreeable c* aim, the DYSPEPSIA, which so
affe« ed me lilt I r.wtld nut lake ibe least particle of
food, without the most unpleasant and uncomfortable
sensations in inv chest; head and bowels. My chest
was »• sore tha- I csoid not bear the slightest pres
sure »ithout giving me pain M» health waa most
miserable ; many physician* told me they thought I
was in foe consumption, and that if I did not give up
my bu-iness, and change climate I could litre but a
short time.
I tried every thing in the shape of medicine, and
consulted the most *kilfnl physi, ians. but found no
permanent relief. I berame discouraged, gloomy,
sad, and sick of life; and, probably, ere tins should
have been in my grave, bad I no? fell in with your
preriou* medicine. A fiend of mine, whohad been
sick o| ibt same complaint, advised me to try your
pills ; bui, having tried most of the medicines 1 itbnut
obtaining any relief, bad but little faith that your
Pill* would be of benefit ui me ; but, at bis earnest
solicitations. I procured a box and commenced taking
them. The first box produced nit eor no effect, and
I began to despond, for fear' that your medicine
would prove like others 1 have taken; but my friends
argued that oue was not a fair trial, and I purchased
a second, and before I bad take:, foe whole box I be
gan to exparience a change : foe pain in my chest
began to be less painful, and my food did not distrea
me as uuch as formerly I wenton taking them un
til I had taken aix boxes, and my DYSPEPSIA
was GONE, and my expectation of an early death
vanished, and 1 felt like a “ new creature.” I was
then, and am now, a healthy man. I have never
since been troubled with foe DYSPEPSIA. I
have administered yoor Pille to the members of my
family, and tomy fnends, and in ail cases with good
success. You can publish if it will be of any use to
you. lam, dear Sir, truly yours,
