Mr. Slade—Your remarks on the subject of
Mr. Lamar’s resolutions, in your paper of the 5th
instant., met my eye for the first time, last evening.
Not having observed you at that meeting, I was
not a little surprised to discover that you had giv
en a partial history of its proceedings, in s\lch a
manner as to leave the impression upon the public
mind, that you were both a spectatorand a hearer.
Before you professed to report truly the speeches
and opinions of gentlemen whom you did not hear,

when the frail vehicles should lie committed to the

former and public occasion, that I believed the law

Philadelphia ran act. constitutionally?” Now, sir,
I asked no sucl.i question. I asked, in what man
ner the Convention at Philadelphia could eticct, a
repeal of the Tariff? Or, in what manner they
could constitutionally act upon a law of Congress
to effect its repeal? l reiterate the questions to you.
It will lie folly for you to say, as you intimate in
your remarks, that the object is to exercise the
constitutional right of the people, “peaceably to
assemble and petition the government for a redress
of grievances.” It is intended for no such pur
pose.—The people can petition at home, and I can

T HE subscriber has obtained from some ot tlie Judg
es, and others a number of DECISIONS made in
important law casee. He expects to enlarge his Collec
tion; and so soon as the subscription wall authorize, to
publish them in a plain, cheap style, in pamphlet form.
The object of this undertaking is to awaken among
the people a sense of the importance of a
Court for the Correction of Errors.
The Judges, Solicitors, and Members of the Bar,
throughout the State, are respectfully requested to fur
nish authentic reports. To those who may do so, a rea
sonable allowance in the price of the work will be made.
Utility alone, and not profit, is the object of the under
taking. And with this view he solicits warmly the eo-

Sir, you axe desirous of knowing my motive in op
posing the resolutions: it is an uncompromising at
tachment to the union of the states, and an unalter
able and steady hostility to every measure which
may, m my opinion, tend even remotely, to their
dismemberment: The Union is the ark of our po
litical salety: The people of those states united
from Maine to Louisiana, in the bonds of fraternal
and patriotic feeling, can preserve for themselves,
forever, the blessings of liberty and free govern
ment! but if tom by violent dissentions, they may
look for nothing but perpetual discord among them
selves, and may expect to fall an easy prey to an in
vading enemy. The people of these U. States
more than alt others have occasion to be grateful
to a kind nrovide.ncc. \vho uo<»nru»d Tw» (hr us. in
the storms01 our revolution, a pillar of fire by night,
and a pillar of cloud by day, to lead us to indepen
dence and deliver us from bondage. As remarked
by General Washington—“every step by which
(wc) have advanced to the character of an inde
pendent nation; seems to have been distinguished
by some token ot’ providential agency.”—Neither
the bickerings of jealousy, nor the strifes of ambi
tion, should lead us to forget and abuse the threat
blessings which we enjov—In governments ol the
republican form, the will of the majority must ne-
spontancousiy expressed, will always be more effi
cacious in accomplishing their wishes, than when
assembled by the call of ambitious and designing
demagogues, and urged to expressions of discon
tent. The ^Convention at Philadelphia can only
pass resolutions to produce fresh and more violent
excitement amongst' the people, who have been al
ready long enough distracted by party and politi
cal dissentions.-—If such a Convention could suc
ceed in bringing about a reduction of the duties on
imposts, it would be more desirable, but inasmuch
a9 tiie decisions and resolutions of the delegates
can have no binding influence on Congress, their
proceedings can be expected to have no other effect
than the excitation of the angry passions of the
community—such &n effect every patriot must de
precate.
But this, I suppose, is a measure preparatory to
a forc;bic resistance of a law of Congress. iMr.
Crawford in the brightest days of his intellect and
ol his fame, declared tnat he knew of but two modes

Congress, the one was by an extreise of the elec

sword, that the former mode is constitutional, that
the latter is unknown to the constitution. Now,
sir, the avowed object of the Convention at Phila
delphia is t# act upon a law of Congress. What
constitutional action can by that body -be brought
to bear upon the law? Will you repudiate the sound
doctrines of vour leader, and adopt new principles,
\ as political emergencies may require? If so, you

BIC2CMSX.Z.’S REPORTXm,
Counterfeit Detector, and Price Current.
T HE first year of this publication having been cor-
eluderl, tlie “Reportn” will hereafter be -cblished
weekly as well as pe/mi-monthly. We fee! .grateiul to the
public for the liberal patronage awarded us, (having Dow
a more extensive circulation than any other newspaper
m the United States,) and shall leave no measure unre-
sorted to, in order to render this Journal valuable in all
respects, not only to merchants, banking institutions,
brokers, and keepers of hotels, but to the community in
general. We have engaged the library assis‘ancc ol se-
varal gentlemen well known as writers, and have corres
pondents in all the principal cities and towns in the Uni-
fed Stare:*- We also receive weekly more than five hun
dred newspapers from different ports of the Union, so
that whatever information may bo circulated through the
medium of the “Reporter,” and the resources from whence
it is derived, we ran confidently state, may, jn all cates,
lie relied upon as correct. Bank notes are being counter
feited in every direction; and on the arrival of every ves
sel from Europe, or the creation of every national excite
ment, the. state of the market varies. Every person
should, therefore, be possessed of some certain nude hy
which all such information might he received by the ear
liest mails, and at such a ra’c as not to render its posses
sion an exorbitant, fax. Such a Journal is exactly what
we endeavor to render the “Reporter,” in an effort to ac
complish which, neither pains nor expense will at any
time be spared on the part of the publisher. Every num
ber will contain a carefully corrected Bank Note List,
Lrit of Broken Banks, Prices Current, Prices of Gold,
Prices of Bank and Insurance Stock, and a description of
all Counterfeit and Altered Notes in circulation through
out the United States, and all such information as is
likely to throw light upon the subjects embraced in the
design of this Journal. The latest foreign news, togeth
er with much original and well selected matter, will al
so be found in the columns of ihe “Reporter.”

roughly understood all the powers of Comrress un

Gen. Washington, in his message to Congress in
1790, in speaking of the interesting objects which
should engage their attention, remarks, that “their”
(a free people’s) “safety and inferrst require that
they should promote such manufactories as tend to
render them independent on others, for essential,
particularly for military supplies.” Now you per
ceive that that great and good man believed, that
Congress had the power to promote manufactories,
or why present the expediency of the matter lor
their consideration? Mr. Jefferson in one of his
communications to Congress, remarks—that “Ag
riculture, manufactures, commeroc, and navigation,
the four pillars of our prosperity, are then most
thriving when left most free to individual enterprise.

The reply of Mr. Crawford to Mr. Calhoun is
very long, and, as the National Gazette styles it,
“truly pitiable.” In its composition, tone and tem
per, it is below contempt. We cannot, therefore,
think it necessary to burden our colmns with it.—
wY Y. American.
Mr. Crawford’s final reply is before the public.
We sincerely regret its appearance, for it exhibits
a lamentable falling off in the powers of his mind.
There is too much garrulity without argument, and
too much temper without cause for it—no new
facts of consequence are adduced, and it manifests
a disposition 10 have the last word without rhyme
or reason. The time has gone by for the public
mind to feel further interest in the controversy be
tween Messrs. Calhoun and Crawford—the great
events which followed the cabinet dissolution hav
ing swallowed up all minor matters.—Herald.

See. arc the landmarks by which we are to <r>tHle
ourselves in all our proceedings.”
If mitre unequivocal testimony v-re required to
prove the opinions ol‘ Mr. Jefferson, it may be found
in a subsequent communication to Congress, -when
a surplus of revenue was about to be accumulated
in the Treaty—He says, “the question theielbre
(n ow comes forward, to what other objects shall
ingies copies 12 1-2 cents, these surpluses be appropriated, and the whole sur
plus of import, after the entire discharge of the
public debt, and during those intervals when the
purposes of wrar shall not call for them? S/ial! ice
suppress the impost, and give that advantage to for
eign, over domestic manufactures? On a few articles
of more general and necessary use, the suppression
in due Reason, will doubtless be right, but the great
mass of the articles on which imposts is paid, are
foreign luxuries purchased by those only who are
rich enough to afford themselves the use of them.
Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continu
ance anil application to the great purposes of the
public education, roads, rivers, canals, and feuch
other objects of public improvement as it may be
thought proper to add to the constitutional enumer-
at'ion C 'of federal powers.” Here is a recommenda
tion of Mr- Jeffcrsoa, not only to continue tlie du-
Ibrni them whether they have truly interpreted
mv language.
I am not satisfied that the language referred to is
justly liable to misapprehension, and I do not feel
myself authorised to enter into any correspond
ence for the purpose of explaining or discussing,
in reference merely to a supposed emergency, the

MR. DURANT’S FOURTH ASCENSION.
Mr. Durant’s Fourth Ascension in a Balloon
from Castle Garden, was made with the same suc
cess which has attended all his preceding adven
tures. The weather was very fine, with a mod
erate breeze from the south-east. The Garden
was well fitted, anil the people again poured forth
enough to the earth to hear distinctly the remarks
oi the people.
“At 6 minutes past f> I was suspended over the
same place where I landed last year, and could at
this time have anchored within 1 fid yards of the
same spot,
“At 8 minutes past 6,1 was abreast of the town
of Hackensack, and passed a few yarda to the
westward, sufficiently near to converse with tlie in
habitants, and hear the Court-House Bell.
“When I left New York, I decided on landing
at Paterson, and discovering that the wind wag
stongest near the earth, I endeavored to avoid a
high elevation, lest night should approach before I
reached my destination. But from the conversa
tion I held with people passing Hackensack, and
the evident change I discovered in the wind, I
found it impossible to reach Paterson, and resolved
to finish my voyage, but previously to make some
experiments. Accordingly, I threw out some bal
last, till 26 min. past 6, when the thermometer tell
to 29 deg. and Barometer to 24 PI 5—equal to an
elevation of 5584 feet,—a little more than a mile^
I now decided to land, and selected a place for the
purpose, but found I was in error respecting the
angle I should make in reaching it; for on apprach-
ing the earth,I discovered that I could not touch
within 200 yards of the place selected. My an
chor with about 250 feet of cord suspended from
the car 1 cut away, to avoid being entangled in a
wood which I was* approaching—the balloon in a
few minutes passed over the woods, and in a fine
country for landing. I selected a cleared field, sus
pended my light anchor, withT2 or 300 feet of cord,
which struck at 41 minutes past 6, on the farm of
Mr. Zabriskie, who caught the anchor in a few se
conds after it touched the earth. He disengaged
the anchor, and, assisted by several gentlemen,
towed me about 400 yards’ to the center of the
town of Paramus, in front of Mr. Harman Lutkins*
Tavern, where a fine place and every facility was.
rendered me to secure the balloon, which is not in
jured in the feast degree.
“Istept off my car for the first time at half past 1
—at a distance of about 22 miles fmn Castle Gar
den. Mr. Lutkins had tea prepared in a few min
utes, and I partook of the repast with a fine appe
tite, anil left the town at a quarter past 9, mud 1
from Dr. Acrigg and Mr. Lutkins and Mr. Zabris
kie, who not only rendered me every assistance a*
Paramus, but with a fine span of horses, conveyed
me to my residence at Jersey City, where I arrived
at 2 o’clock this morning.”
From the foregoing interesting particulars the
public will no doubt be gratified to learn with what
ease and certainty and consequently with what
comparative security, the balloon may be managed
by a skillful artist, who has the nerve, and the self-
possession, necessary to the prosecution of an aeri
al vovage.
Useful discovery by a Lady.—It is stated in the.
Ravenna (Oliio) Courier, that an important discov
ery was made m Copely, Medina county, June 17,
by a lady. Mr. Vial, his son and another person,
were digging a well, and the 9on having gone down
first, was prostrated on breathing the noxious va
por or “damps” below. His father descended to
his relief, and fell also: the third started for a phy
sician, in the mean time several ladies assembled a**:
the place, and one threw down apail of water,
most of which fell on the face of Mr. Y.who faugh,*
breath, rose, and seized thft senseless body of hfo
son, got into the tub and was drawn up by the In
dies. Water was immediately applied to the young
man, which in a short time produced symptoms of
returning life. Mr. Vial in a few hours attained
his usual health and strength, and the young man,
bv medical aid, had so far recovered ap to be able
to walk about on the succeeding day.—Balt. Pat.
