3 Cr I Word’ and Calhoun bad heed conspicuous members
of heC ihioet upon litf Seminole campaign. The course

have been removed, ’he plotters and coni mere” fore-
6 a>v a proha lit opportunity of throwing ihe odium, of the
rrosmitnn against Gen. Jackson for ilie occupation of
<h Spanish posts, upon '1r. Calhoun. Now we have no
douht. from some obscure expressions in parts of the co 1 "-
reso mdence, th»t the oi.jr.ct of Major Hamilton's visit to
N* «-orle ms, and his intended visit to Mr. Craw r ord,
was to 'iria; about a reconciliition between Mr. Craw-
Turd and (i -n. Jackson, with a view to the accomplish
meat of *lr. Calhoun’s destruction. This project, ivt
prevm \ filled—but s:ill true to their purpose, they de
termined to accomplish it in another way—and have actu
ally. by their arts and in'rig ies, brought Mr. Calhoun and
the President to an open rupture.
Mr. Van Buren h is ari filly contrived to avoid any per
son it appearance in the management of this matter, while
even thing lias beer, done which he desired to be done.
He and his friends no \ without doubi believe, that they
are m . fairway to enlist the strength of the Republican
party in their cause. They belive th it, from having been
in i minority, they will thus be able to control the great
Priority oCihft Kepublican party for their own advantage.
Tin y think thus to enlist the personal popularity of Gen.
vlackson in their f.tvor, and when this is accomplished, the
toad to their promotion will be safe and easy.
Al! these manoeuvres have been resor ed to to pave the
wav fir Mr. Van Btiren after Gen Jackson’s second term
of •'Hi ;e. They have been resorted to, to wield the voice
of toe nation in favor of a few ambitious aspirants for of
fice and the cm -hiynents of ,i ffi :e Feeling and knowing
that they never could succeed without some such arts, they
were determined to make a desperate effort to crown their
hopes
From this chain of argument, we deduce the following
Conclusions—
First—That V n Burrn and his friends were willing to
have sacrificed General Jackson, and jeopardize there
publican inlerests, for the accomplishment of their own
views. If not, why did they oppose hi-first election?
Second— That from being an opposing minority—or ra
ther a small third party themscives—they expect, by the
results of this intrigue, t> place themselves in the front
ranks of the Republican party.
T'lird—That they have endeavored to place Genera.
J irks in, the champion of the Republican party, between
th-m—Ives and the indignation of public opinion.
Fourth—That they have had the effrontery to attempt
to ni .k a cut's paw of the whole republican parly for Iheir
o-' n •-.too*, s
Ffth— That they there for: rejoice at the present appa
rent division in the ranks of Gen. Jackson’s friends and
r.ympathise herein with the advocates of Clay. Bui the
delusion is vain. The friends of General Jocltsou will still
cling to him.
Sixth—That if any unforeseen injury should resolt.to
Gurvr.l Jackson’s election, the mischief will he at their
d >‘<r, as it was f irmerly.
Secenlh—Thu corollary follow*—Miat in lividual ag-
ftrundizement i* their only rule of conduct—and the good
of their country is put out of the question.
N iw ive would ask, can the friends of Gen. Juek'on,
r.nd the opponents of the American system, suffer them
selves to be made a nose of wax, hy intrigues so disgrace-
tul t> their cuu«e and their country ? These will be impor
tant considerations in the Presidential canvass after the
second term of Gen. Jackson’s administration. Let Ins
friends stand by him in the present crisis, and the great
excitement that may soon arise.

From the Fayetteville (AT. C ) Observer.
AVe have received from Mr. li nener, Rcprescn 1 alive
in Congress from the Salisbury District, in this State, a
copy ol his Circular. The following is an extract from
jl.—
"Nullification.—Having attempted tounmnsk some of
Ihe unjust and oppressive features of the Tariff. I feel it
due to the occasion to state that I am equally opposed to
the means attempted in a neighboring State, !o resist its
operation. South Carolina, feeling herself greatly ag
grieved by the Tariff", conten s fur the right of pronounc
ing the liiv unconstitutional, mid thereby nullifying it, so
f ir as she is concerned. She claims the privilege of re
in lining in the Union and enjoying alt its benefits, and at
the same time, me right to nullify every law which impo
ses on her unwelcome burthens. To in**, such a preten
sion appears most unreason ibie. Our Federal Constitu
tion was the result of a spirit of compromise and concilia
tion. Some l ights were t v be given up for the more effec
tual protection of others. It must then have been fore
seen by the frauers of that sacred instrument, that from
£ha extent of our country, and her diversified interest, al
most every law passed by Congress, would he unequal in
its operation upon the interest of various sections But
if one single State bus the power of nullifying at its will
and pleasure, the acts of twenty-four, the Legislation of
Congress would be vain and useless; for there is scarce a
single law, w hich would not be nullified in some one of
the Stales. But such a doctrine, if adopted, would lead
directly to a disunion of the States; which to my mind, in
volves the very worst of political evils. The pure and ex-
®lt< d patriotism of South Carolina, and her noble sacrifi
ces and suffering* in favor of the Union, forbid the idea
that such can be the wish or intention of that magnani
mous State. But .such would inevitably be its effect. To
me, the Union of th” States is sacred; and I am proud to
believe the same devotion is deeply laid in the hearts of
those 1 have had ttie honor to represent; and no act cal
culated to undermine or destroy that beautiful fabric,
should receive from us, any thing but our di-pleasure.—
Every patriotic heart must respond to th< sentiment of
our venerable Chief Magistrate,— ,( The Union must be
preserved.** That the Tariff will be modified, and made
more acceptable tons, in a few years, and perhaps at the
very n xt Congress, I have no doubt. Every day’s expe
rience, and ttery moment’s reflection, convinces my mind
of that fact. Let us then appeal temperately, but with
firmness, to the patriotism and justice of the Nation, ra
ther than rashly “fly tu ills that «* e know not of.”

THREE D IYS LATER FROM ENGL.1ND
By the brig Oarq oe, St. Leonard, Capt. Rutherford,
arrived this morning from London we have been favored
with the London Timet of the 15th February, the only pa
per b r ougbt by her.
A la gc portion of this paper is occupied with a debate
«pon the Finances, which occurred the preceding evening,
in the course of which the various items contained in ihe
budget were touched upon. The proposed duty of Id per
lb. upon Cotton was opposed, on the ground that it would
press most heavily on the imports from the East Indies,
and other British Colonies generally, the- Cotton from
which, it was contended, would be taxed twice as high as
the Cotton imported from any other part of the world. If
•i duty was to be laid upon the article, an ad valorem on?
was preferable to the specific duty proposed upon all de-
scriplios of Cotton, without regard to value. A deputa
tion of those interested in Cotton, waited upon the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer on the 14th February, to remon
strate against the proposed duty, and were told, that it
“was indispensable to his plan of finance that he should
obtain a revenue of about half a million from Cotton^ and
that if they were unable to devise any other mode, that
part of the budget must be persevered in.”
The Chancellor of the F.xchequer bad very promptly giv-
en up his proposed tax upon the transfer of property in the
funds, in consequence of a very general disapprobation
which had been expressed of the measure.
Some insurrectionary movements are reported to have
taken place at Bologna, Reggio, and other places in Italy.
Mr. Percival moved in the House of Commons, on
the 14th ins an address to his Majesty, “to appoint a day
fora general fist throughout the United Kingdom.” He
enforced his object in a speech of some length, but the mo
tion was put aside, at the suggestion of Lord Althorp.
who considered it as an interference with the prerogatives
of the Crown, who acted in these matters under the advice
of the heads of the church.
London, February 15
The obscure hints given in the Paris letters and papers,
of insurrectionary movements in Italy, it ve much stimu
lated public curiosity, but it does not appear that any au
tbentic details on the subject ate in to wn.
A rumour witn which we have been frequently alarmed,
or rnther awaked, for there ;s no great alarm in it, seems
afresh springing up, to the effect that we shall have war.—
Wc may, therefore be expected to give some opinion up
on it. If F- once rests con enl with her present lei rii or ies,
that is, if France rests content with France, there can be
•>o prospect or probability of war, no nation, we are sure,
thinks, or will think, e f attacking her, or of aggrandizing
itself. But if Fiance meditates aggrandizement, no mat
ter on what side, or in what quarter, ( h»ugh Belgium
Si (.ms tire most apt to invit sinister wishes) and if she
now puts fortli charges against other nations—“Oh, I see
you mean to nuke war, and therefore I must arm myself”
—only because those nations mean *o make war if she al
tempts to appropriate Belgium, why then war is inevita
ble. In fact, the other nations of Europe do not mean to
let th-: Jacobi os uf Belgium consign their country to the
Jacobins ol France without resistance, and we trust the
resistance will prove successful. This ia the whole gist
of the question.

Mr. Editor ,-Tf you think p< oper you may publish the
fallowing tern irks on the Divinity uf our Lord. .
1st. If Jesus Christ was nut God, the writers of the
New Testament discover great injudiciuusncss in th'
choice of their words, and ad >pted a very dangerous style.
|*. is sai l that the whole world except the small Kingdom
uf Judea, weie Idolaters at the time Jesus Christ made his
appearance, and the Evangelists together with the Apostles
imposed tu destroy Idolatry, and to establish thp worship
of one only living und rue God To effect this purpose,
it was absolutely necessary for these founders of Christi
anity tu avoid confusion and obscurily of language and to
express heir ideas in a cautious manner, the least expres
sion that would tend to deify a creature or corntenancc j
Idolatry would hi.vp been e source of the greatest error.
H>’iice Paul and Barnabas rent their clothes at the verv
idea of the multitude c»nf >undirig the creature with Ihe
Creator, (see Acts l4th Ch ) The writers of Ihe New
Testament knew that in speaking of Jesus Christ, extra-
o-din ary ciutnn was neossary. yet when we read the
New Testament we find such expressions as these—the
word was God, God was manifested in 'hefl -sh. God with
os. Tuo lews crucified the Lord of glory. Jesus Christ
is Lord ofall, Christ is overall. God blessed for ever.—
These are a few of the many expressions which th** New
IVsinunent writers lay down r-lalive to Jesus Christ.—
If the wnters intended to affi m the Divinity of Jesus
Chris , these are »*ords oftruth and soberness; if not, the
language is incautious and unwarrantable.
21. The writers of the New Testament describe lesns
Christ bv the very names and titles by which the writers
of the Old Testament describe the Supreme God. Com
pare, Exodus 3d ch. 14th v , with John 8th ch. 58'b v.—
Isaiah 44th ch. 6)h v , with Revelation* 22d eh. 13th v —
Deuteronomy 10th ch. 17lh v , with Revelations 17th ch
14th v . Psa ms 24th ch 10th v., wi h first Corinthians
2d ch 8th v., Hose i 1st ch 7th v., with Luke 2d ch Ittb
v . Daniel 5th ch. 23d v., with fir^t Corinthians 15th ch
47t!< v., Ii r st Chronicles 29th ch 1 Ith v., with Colossiau*
2d ch. 10th v.—Now, if they who described Jesus Christ
to the Jews by the names and titles, intended to convev
an idea of bis Deity, the description is just; but if they
kilended to describe a mere M <n, they were surely of all
men, the most preposterous.
3J. The writers of Rrvelatian ascribe «o Jesus Christ
the same perfections which tbey escribe to God. Com
pare Jeremiah lOthcli. lOiii v., with Isaiah 9tb ch Cth v.,
Exodus 15th ch 18 h v., with Hebrews 1st ch. 8th v.
Jeremiah 32d ch. 19th v., with Isaiah Dth ch 6th v..—
Psalms 102d ch. 24th and 27th v’s., with Hebrews 1 Ath
ch S'h v.. Jeremiah 23d ch 24 h V., with Ephesians 1st
ch. 20th and 23d v*3. If Jems Christ be "God, the as
cription of the perfections of God to him is proper, if he
be not, the wriitrs are chargt able with wickedness Con
sider the works that are ascribed to Jesus Chi ist, and
compare them with the claims of lehovah. Is creation a
work of God? By lesus Christ were all things created,
Colossinns 1st ch. 16 hv. Is preservation a work of God?
Jesus Christ upholds all things by the word ofbis power,
Hebrews 1st ch. 3d vs.
4th. It is a command of God—Thou shall worship the
Lord thy God, and him only shall thou serve, Matthew
4 f, ch 20th v. Yet the Scriptures command all the An
gels to worship lesus'Christ, Hebrews 1 «t ch 6th v. In
conclusion. I say no man is so blind she that will not
see A LITTLE PROFESS >R OF RELIGION.

Mr. Editor—Picase state the fact in your paper, thal
on the plantation of Judge Kenan, in Co»ve<a county, are
two Cows of -.li** imnroved English breed, each of which
gives, daily, from 15 tu 20 quart* of milk! One of the
Cows a few days since, gave 21 quarts at a night’s and
morning’s milking! Judge Kenan feeds his Cows, 1 am
told, on chopped straw and outs, together with slops, &c.
The way they give milk is the right way.

From the Camden Journal.
The various nullification papers, among which the
Columuia Times must he reckoned prominent we sup
pose, has a great deal to say against the President of the
United States, and botK Houses of Congress at the Iasi
session. The last number of the Times regales its rea
ders with a very "lengthy,* as well as depthy and
strengthy article, in lamentable objurgation of every bo
dy’s conduct in Suuih Carolina, who has said anything
against Nullification; and in favor of peaceable and pa
tient legislation on the subject of the Tariff. It utters a
vast amount of wisdom, as every one must acknowledge
—aays a great deal about the folly of waiting for Congress
to do any thing favorable for us, and winds up by several
matters hortatory, and pathetic. Calls upon the oppo-
*ere of Convention and the contemners of Nullification,
to ground arms, and equip themselves with ne v weapons.
To put themselves upon their heroics, and lay about them.
The Constitution is in the same predicament as the Hon.
*ir. Bates’ sheep; there is aJackknife at its jugular rein,
•nd unless wc blow it up before hand by a train of p owder,
it will bleed itself to n corpse. We desire most fervently,
iaai these gentlemen will fell as what In the Dime of
Heaven they want. If they d< sire a Convention called
in South Carolina, to p ace her in a war posture—open
blood and bayonet war with the nation, why let them say
eo, and if sucb a measure be expedient, the people frill
say so too, and there will be an end of it; but if they really
cherish the Union as they say they do, all this sort of
Bobadilism is excellent nonsense. Every Constitutional
opposition is made to the Tariff, and will continue to be
made. We know of only two ways under nur govern
ment to get rid of obnoxious legislation—-u e must either
convince a majority of the nation, that a given enactment
is wrong, and have it repealed in the form prescribed by
the Constitution, or resist it ertra-constitutimally by the
sword. If the enactment be of doubtful constitutionality,
the remedy is explicitly provided in the National Charter
itself, and if upon a submission of the question to the pre
scribed tribunal, ,a decision is made, too iotolerably and
manifestly wrung to be endured, we have still left us, the
“glorious right to rebel;” but it is trifling too much with
the good sense of South Carolina, to be eternally urging
her to acts of violence without declaring at once what is
wanted ofher. If these people really revere the Consti
tution and wish to continue under it, very well, let them
say so. If they are tired of it, and wish to get rid of its
reign, let them say that. But (iis everlasting cant of de
votion to the Union, accompanied by a recommendation
to da those acts that must necessarily destroy it, ia beyond
all patient endurance from a people not all absolutely con
fined ia iheir own mad houses
From the United'Stales* Telegraph.
The Globe, of this morning, says—The Telegraph con
tinues its attacks on the Gloiie io the absence of the Edi
tor. On Thursday, that paper asks, among other silly
qu etions, **H hy has Mr. Kan Buren established the
Gabel*
The writer of this knows all about the establishment of
the Globe; and he avers, that Mr. Van Buren had no
more agency in it than Mr. Calhoun. It is not, and ne
ver has been, pledged to the present or ultimate support of
Mr. Van Burrn. If Editor of the Telegraph would
lake a retrospect of his own d'signs, intrigues, conversa
tions, and correspondence for the last eighteen months,
which have not been conceded from the real friends of
the adinini-'trttlion he would not looktd the future inter
ests of the Secretaiy of Stale for the origin of the Globe.
But for intrigues, hostile to Genera) Jackson himself, to
the peace, usefulness, and efficiency of his administration,
of which that Editor was the principal agent, the estab
lishment of this paper would have been discouraged, and,
it is presumed, would never have taken place.
Wc need not dwell upon the condition General Jackson
would have been placed in on u recent occasion, bad he
been obliged tu rely altogether on sucb friends as the
Telegraph
Guilt is always suspicious, Real plotters and intrigu
ers think every body else is plotting and intriguing also.
In tiiis case, they have endeavored to conceal their own
schemes in .he loudness of their denunciations against
others. They may thank themselves for the establishment
of the Globe; and others will thank its Editor for the
promptitude witii which he has aided in turning the effects
of Uieir ambitious plans, with irresistible force, upon their
own bead'.
Remarks by the Editor of the Telegraph.
That this ariicle, *v Inch appeals editorially in the Globe,
was written by Mr. Kendall, who does know ail about the
establishment of the Globe, we admit. He now pretends
that “but for intrigues hostile to General Jackson himself,
to the peace, usefulness, and . fficiency of his administra
tion, of which the Euitor ffbr the t elegraph] was the prin
cipal agent, the establishment of this paper (the Globe]
would have been discouraged, and, it is presumed, would
never havetukeu place.”
Here, we have the distinct assertion of Mr. Kendall,
that the Editor of the Telegraph was engaged in intrigues
hostile to General Jacksou; and that, ‘his designs, in-
rigucs. conversations, and correspondence for t-e last
eighteen months, which have not been concealed from tue
real friends of the administration,” is the cause of the
origin of the Globe. Here is a bold avowal tha* the Glohe
was established to put down (he Telegraph. Now, Mr
Kendall knows that the Editor of the Telegraph has it in
his power to prove bv eviJcnce, which neither he nor Mr.
Blair, dare controvert, that this statement is utterly un
true. But, if Mr. Kendall is so well informed of the cor
respondence of the Euitor of the Telegraph, he can cer
tainly produce some positive proof of the intrigues which
ue alleges have been carried on for eighteen months. >Ve
hereby release all persons whatever, trom any injunction
of secrecy, and itely .Mr. Kendall to produce a single let
ter, or to adduce a single couvcrawUoa, however CoiiflJeu-
tial, which will sustain hi* charge VVe thus remove all
impediment, und challenge the proof. Having done so,
we defy the Editors of the Globe to do the same thing, for
themselves, their counsellors, aiders,-and abetters. Ae
ask of the press throughout the United Stales the sheer
justice of republishing this article.

ROBBERY OF THE CITY Bank.
One of the mast extensive bank robberies that has (al
ien to our lot to record, has taken plac$ since the closing
of tbe City Bank, on Saturday last. At the usual houi
this morning Mr. Lancaster S. Burling, tlie first teller un
locked the vault, to take out the necessary money for the
busines of the day. On his entering he found that since
he deposited tbe money on Saturday afternoon, the vault
bad been entered; and it was soon ascertained that up
wards of TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE THOU
SAND DOLLARS had been taken away, tlie greater part
of which was in city bills.
Tbe police Magistrates, with Mr. Hays have been
through the building, and examined the premises, and
we believe all are satisfied that tbe bank and vault were

The Chief Justice.—It is with heartfelt pleasure that we
state, from authority on which we place entire reliance,
that there is not the smallest ground for the report, now
current, of the intention of Judge Marshall to resign
the trust of Chief Justice of the United Sates. To our
tenders generally we are satisfied that tbe information,
which we arc thus enabled to communicate, will be more
acceptable than any thing we have announced to them for
the last sixteen years.—Nat. Int.

sician, “I cannot give you this advice ; fur i.avh.g mude
so many drunkards in the former part of my praetie*, I
base determined never again to advise ardent tpiriis os a

Awful.—A correspondent on the River Thames Cota*

Out on y-*ur noise ye bl&stii wight,
That break my slumbers ilka night,
Grindin your tunes (or very spite,
Through thick and thin!
Ye’d make a Christian swear outright,
To hear your din.
Sure ye must be some smoutie’s ghost,
J.et loose fra** hell’s infernsl coast;
Ane of auld Cloote’s mu kle host,
An’ ye'pin choir,
Sic a’ he keeps to skelp and roast
Wi* britnstans fire.
Did ye hut ken the pangs I feel,
Whiisf list’ning to your cursed squeet,
Ye wad na crind anithcr peal
Sa harsh and deep,
But gang in pitie tothedeil,
And let me sleep.
* There is nae music in your din,
N*ie, sic a discord ye begin,
Y( jar tbe very winnows in,
Wi’ tortured tune;
If murder be a deadly *in,
Yt ’ll rue it soon.
To please the de’il auld Orpheus played,
And for bis wife i’ fiddlin paid,
Ou dolpin’s tail Arion rade
The billows strippin,

By dint o’ pipin.
But ye wad do things greater still,
Y<*ur noise wad dror'n a water mill,
Ye’d scare the woods and spin the hill,
Sacral your power,
And ony mortal wight ye’d kilt
In half an hour.
If pilgrimage to holy shrine,
Wad stop your uncogratin whine,
Or Sousa ye in the Red S.a’s brine,
For aye to sleep.
Right soon I’d make the penance mine,
And think it cheap.
But if yc heed nor prayer nor spell,
And ‘vinn i stap that croakin yell,
For a’ poor hard can sir g or tell,
Or ony boon,—
I’ll try what brick-bats can avail
To change tour tune.

.“Chesterfield” and a communication from Haber
sham about the “rod of hot iron” are too personal for
publication—others are under advisement.
TEMPERANCE AMONG SEAMEN.
In the third annual Report of the Boston Sea-
m. n’s Friend Society, just published, occur the following
interesting and encouraging facts on the prospect of
Temperance among Seamen.
Some pains were taken in the year 1830, to ascertain
tlie number of vessels which sailed from Boston in that
year, with no ardent spirits on board for the use of the
crews, and tn<* names of forty-five were publish'd in the
:ast annual report. The inquiry has been continued and no
less than one hundred & thirty vessels are known to have
sailed from this port since last January. In addition t>>
these eneouraging facts, it is recently ascertained that the
use of urdent spirits among seamen is discontinued in the
iargt Liverpool packet ships, which sail from this port, a>
weil as in mosi, if not all, of the Baltimore, Philadel
phia, and Ncw-York regular lines.
Measures have also been taken to ascertain tbe propor
tion of sailors, who abstain woolly from the use of ar
dent spirits both on sea and on shore. In the space of
ten raon-hs past, 259 of this description bave been regis
tered, being on an average, about one man in five of
(hose whose names have been entered within this space
of lime; quite as large a proportion of strictly tempe
rate men it is believed, as would be found in the other
classes of the community.
Jl little dots me good.—A person lately remarked, in
the course of an address before a Temperance Society,
that “he had beard people say, to take ‘o little* when
body is tired, does him good—braces np tlie sys
tem ! Such is not the fact: it only takes away his senses.*’
As an evidence of the truth of this position, he related
having seerf “a man with a shattered ankle, after having
taken .‘a little’ shake his leg, with bis foot dangling at
ihe end of it. and boastingly saying, there l am I not a
man ?—Christian Index.
Bran dy.—‘‘Doctor,” said a gentleman who had recent
ly jined a Temperance society, to bis family physician,
• I have been in the habit of taking brandy at my dinner
for a number of years ; but lately, for the. sake of my
neighbors, and by way of example, I have quit it altogeth
er, suddenly, and I m afraid it will injure my health.—
What cfe you think of it “Sir” said the Doctor, “I
never saw you look bettter than you do now.” “I am no»
sick, exactly j hot I feel an uneasiness in my stom»*li.
