—1 he inconsistency of the ex-attorney general is still
liesu in tiie recollection of the country, in publications
made by him during the last summer, he accused the
• resident, Andrew Jackson, of an attempt to establish a
reign of terror, at Washington; and of a design to have
every conspicuous man shot, who should dare oppose his
yrarmy. iiad the American people credited these char
ges prefer*ed by tiie ex-attorney general, Jackson would
'■avc been overwhelmed by the execrations of this brave
><: >ple, wh i prize liberty as the most precious of heav-
•n’s temporal gifts to man. In November of the same
ye ir, at, Milledgeville, the ex-attorney general volunteer
d i public eulogy on Andrew Jackson—a public eulogy
m the man, against whom, but a few months before, he
nad exhibited a public accusation of such black import,
an accusation utterly blasting, if believed. That, por-
:i-inof the community, which was not intimately ac-
i r timed with the character of Judge Berrien, was amaz-
i -1 uni shocked at this glaring inconsistency, at this vu-
.uatary adulation of a man, whom he had recently ]wur-
rayed, as his personal foe, and an enemy to the liberty
,fh:s country. Fora time, he seemed to have received
he reward of his sycophancy: his praises of Jackson
vere grateful to the ears of a body of men, who were
iendiy to the president: more grateful, perhaps, be-
ause they seemed to be the confessions, or recantations
'I 'in enemy : and he was nominated by them, as a can
didate f ir congress. But there were men, who could
lot reconcile the bitter denunciations of tiie summer,
•vith the fervent applause of the-winter; men who look
'd beyond the polished surface, aud saw, or believed they
aw, in his eulogy of the president, a deep dissimulation,
a profound selfishness: and they dealt out such stern,
■ md torturing rebuke, as the ex-attorney general could
not bear with his wonted equanimity. Sorely End most
palpably stung, he could not suppress a public exhibition
t the feelings of chagrin and mortification, bv which he
■ as goaded to withdraw his name from the canvass.
A\ e then hoped, that he bad received an admonition
not soon to be forgotten; that he had suffered a quietus,
'diicli would induce him long to shun the public gaze.
B it v-anliing ambition will not suffer the breast which
a inhabits, to remain at ease: and as the ex-attorney
s not permitted to hold an office, by which he mav aid
in sustaining, he seems determined to employ Iris splen-
lid talents, in endeavoring to tear down, the govern-
ncltt of the Union. He is now league.! with other con
spicuous men, of like unliallovfitd ambition, in an at

cannot fa:l to prove most disastrous to the 8tate, ’most j ^nse of justice, the appeal is made. This part of
anger .us to t m I num. lie has too much sagacity to . t }, e su bjeet seems not to have been understood by
adopt the shallow, and oft-rcluted theory of nuitmea- 1 - J
tion; he will not wear this tattered mask, which can no
longer conceal the features, over which it is thrown. He
would not object to his dealing in a little innocent
fiction. But he has transcended the poetic license;
which does not indulge any one in fabricating Scan
dal against his neighbour. We observe tiie fol
lowing remark, m a detached paragraph of the
Jacksonian, viz: “ There is no illness in our re
marks upon the Federal Union—the opinions "of
friends will vary from each other ; and there is a
pleasure enjoyed in a friendly discussion to correct
them.”
This we believe to be from the editor, and it
gives us a chic to his friendly leelings; hut it is not
a sufficient apology for those passages in the paro
dy, in which the writer charges us with a secret at
tachment to the tariff; and with grossly misrepre
senting the Jacksonian, in several of our quota
tions. However, we are not disposed to treat this
jeu d’ esprit vow seriously.
The parody is tolerable well sustained: but in
those passages, in which tiie writer describes one
of the physicians, as petitioning thepatient to tret
well; as endeavouring, by remonstrating and rea
soning with him, to restore him to health, the in
genuity of the parodist has failed him. By the
patient, he intends to represent the suffering South:
and by this physician, to describe those men who
recommend a reliance on reason and justice, for a
proper modification of the tariff. The writer
seems to think, that we are endeavouring to pre-
suade the Soutk, to consent to the repeal of an un
just system of taxation: that, we appeal to the
South (the suffering patient.) to permit its repeal
He says, referring to the physician, “ he petitions
the patient to get well, remonstrates with him
about his getting well, attempts to reason him into
health.”
Unfortunately for us, the facts are the reverse of
those supposed in the parody. If the argument for
the repeal of that unjust system were addressed to
tiie people of the South, ihey would immediately
sustain the argument by their universal approba
tion : if a fair arrangement of tbe tariff’ depended
on tbe justice of the people of the South, the liene-
j fits and the burthens would bepeacablv equalized,
But the argument is addressed to
.as .heopinion of uus county? 'Let the people under-
-,and it first, and afterwards propose, your plans f >r
adoption j not first adopt resolutions, and then seek to
understand whether your course of conduct 'has been,
correct.
There is still one remaining objection,in my own • inc
to their proceedings; 1 allude to its influence upon the
next prcsidential clection. I: is tree they passed a reso
lution in favor of Gen. Jackson’s patriotism; but not
without a dissenting voice. And the resolution'origin
ally had another -lause, stating that no hostility existed
in that assembly, to the President, which was stricken
out at the suggestion of Win. H. Crawford. Now what
could we reasonably hope, if Georgia with South Caro
lina is to denounce the Hero of Orleans as well as uni
form friend ot the South. O my country! I blush for
th}'fate, when these-ranting and bickering politicians,

proposes to the people, that they shall determine, that they
will no longer submit to that part of the laws of the federal
government, which regulates the duties on the importation
offoreign merchandize. W hen questioned as to the mode
in which lie will advise them to resist, he endeavors to
cloak himself in impenetrable mystery- on this most es
sential point, he cautiously conceals ins ulterior plans.
—What he lias so carefully kept back, we propose to
bring to light: and we invite our fellow citizens deliber
ately to consider the principal resolution, which he and
his associates recommend to the people, in the crusade
which, from town to town, they are now preachim;
against the Union. The law regulating :he tariff, con
sists of two principal parts—that which determines the
amount of duty to be paid on each imported article:
and that which ordains, that, for a refusal to pay the du-
‘y established hy law, the imported goods shall be for
feited. A resolution not to submit to this law, em
braces a deterniinhtion, neither to pay the duty, nor to
suffer the imported goods to be sieZed or condemned.—
Suppose that Judge Berrien shall persuade tiie ctizens
of Savannah, the city of lus residence, to adopt this
resolution: and what will be the consequence ? The
merchants import goods from Liverpool; and when the
.collector demands the duties on those goods, thev ray to
him; “ We will no longer submit” to the law", which
you are appointed and commissioned to execute: we
will not pay the duties.” The collector endeavours to
fulfill the law, by si< zing the goods : the importers say
toh.m: “Standoff; we “will no longer submit” to
tins unjust law j” and the}.’ accompany their words with
he appropriate actions, the c»Uc<»~., Amllnp- his au- i
ihority annihilated, ift justification of himself, is con
straint d to report, to tiie President, that m Savannah
there is an avowed, deliberate, and systematic resistance
: 11he law. Who can doubt, for a moment, the course
which Jackson will pursue ? He has himself assented j
to his act of Congress; lie has ratified it, by his official 1
the. parodist
The Unionists have ffmlertaken a labour verv
different from that which be exhibits : they have
undertaken to convince those states, which are fos
tering i heir manufactures, at our expense, that it
will be wise and politic, no less than fair, and honor
able, and virtuousirt thereto reduce the revenues
to the standard of the wants of the jjovernm'eiit;
and to preserve inviolate, the principles of free
trade, and unrestricted commerce. And this no
ble work, successfully commenced at the late ses
sion of congress, we feel assured they will triumph
antly accomplish, if the nuibfiers do not disappoint
their labours,and drown the voice of reason, and
of justice, in the tumult of the pattsbns, and in the
din of arms.
[communicated ]
Messrs. Editors.—The citizens of Oglethorpe on Fri
day last, were assembled in tiie town of Lexington, for
tiie purpose of taking into consideration the American
System, or tbe present modified tariff Bill. And furth
ermore, (as they expressed themselves) to devise some
plan, to avert our threatened ruin. I should not have
taken any notice of their proceedings, but for their nov
elty, and dangerous tendency, to the best itilerei t of our
common country.
South Carolina liar, for several years past, been invi
ting tiie people of Georgia to embrace their doctrines of
nullification; and to go hand in hand with her, in the
glorious cause of liberty. But how was this invitation
fonnerlv treated? Just as it should have been. They
were spurneU oy us, in <.ui oim».
for their doctrines, with the opprobious epithets oral--
appointed or ambitious politicians. And now, cvei i
this same State, (Georgia) a meeting has been held,
where individuals, of no ordinary standing, have avow
ed their belief in the doctrines of nullificaiiim, anti bt.irii .
gnature ; and by this solemn sanction, he has given to j iltl[ | fearlessly declared their determination to reach fw»h
f the validity and force of a law. No mail acquainted their hand ot fellowship to their much injured stsie.
with the character of Andrew Jackson, can for a mo- j g. a te. And now the enquiry that naturally suggests it
inera believe,! hot he will be an idle, passive, or timid j sc 'f to „ s i P this': what has effected this e’xufiordinar
-nccraior of such a scene : the ex-attorney general, who i c | )an g e ? Why is Georgia, (so recently having denounc-
iiasboen a member of his cabinet, knows that he will j ^ these doctrines as erroneous and dangerous,) now de-
not. Adverting to nullification, Jack-son has said;—j eiaiin^ them the only rightful remedy placed incur
“ Every enlightened citizen must know, that a separa- j hands by the constitution? or rather why have a few
non, could it be effected, would begin with civil discord, interested politicians, turned fir's political summerset ?
and end in colonial dependence on a foreign power, and - - - • ■ • *'
obliteration from the list of nations.. But lie should al
so s,-p, that high and sacred duties which must and will,
at all hazards be performed, present an insurmountable
Carrier to the success of any plan of disorganization,
iv whatever patriotic name it may be decorated, or
whatever high feelings may be arrayed for its support.”
And his past history gives a certain assurance, that
he will execute, with unflinching firmness, and resistless
energy, the determination which he has announced. It
is our fiexd and settled belief, that he will employ such
force as may be necessary to execute the law, which
Judge Berrien and h : s associates persuade the people to
resist Is it a part of the scheme of these counsellors of
resistance, to yield to that force ? To be valorous in word;
in deed timorous ? To employ lofty menace, and high
resolve, in peaceful assemblies oft he pcoph; and toquail
and desert that people, when danger shall approache ?
After advising the people of Georgia “no longer to sub
mit” to the law, will they advise them to yield without
a blow? We are unwilling to suspect them of recom
mending to the people of Georgia, a policy so boastful,
so timid, so feeble, so disgra etui. What then? In
order to carry into act and operation the scheme of re
sistance recommended by these gentlemen, the citizens
of Savannah, after having determined “no longer to
Andwhy art they now cndtavoringtt.'iufiime the minds
of the people, by sowing the tecds of discord and scatter
ing fire-brands in their midst? Upon this loop hang
a considerable tale; and as one of the people, I shall
give you my views on this subject.
You will recollect that our legislature, together wu
many other Southern States, remonstrated to Corgrc
against the Tariff of 18*28 as unjust, unequal and op
pressive. In consequence of this appeal from the Soule.;
at the last session of Congress a bill was introduced
which is now styled, “The modified Tariff Bill” for the
purpose of reconciling the two great conflicting interests
in our country. To have abolished this protective Sy
tern at once would have produced devastation and ruin
throughout the whole norihetnand eastern portion of t lie
country. Every person tiierefore that cherishes al-
fection’ lor the Union of these States, will readily con
cede such a course to be unwise and impolitic—And il r
only remaining alternative which wc had left, was eith
er to adopt a modified Tariff, by which mean* in several
successive years of gradual reduction we might get en
tirely rid of it, or to settle ourselves down contentedly
under that which we had already declared unjust, une
qual ami oppressive. Let. os examine the Bill passed

sustain and defend their fellow citizens on the sea-coast.
We all know the feebleness of our maritime frontier ;
and to defend it against the fo res of the U. States, per
haps commanded bv Andrew Jackson in person, regi
ments, brigades, divisions must be drawn from tliepopu
lous counties of the interior. It is no Indian, it is no
English war, into which these mysterious politicians
would plunge our country: it isavarv, iih our neigh
bours, our friends, our brethren ; it is a war against the
g 'vernment of our country; it is a war against that
very large majority (if states, which sha‘1 remain united
in this great confederacy. Every man of ordinary fore
sight, who determines to engage in measures leading to
such a war, should prepare to leave his business, to sep
arate himself from his family, to pass, not a few hasty
months, but years, in the camp or rite military field. In
such a war, we believe success io be hopeless : if success
cn be obtained, the trophies of the Slate will be the
sepulchre of the Union.
We too, Hew the tariffosan unequal, unfair, and un-
jus* system of taxation: and we will zealously pursue
a rational policy, for relieving our State from its burth
ens. But we will not consent to lay our country
waste with fire and sword; to desolate her fields and
consume her dwellings with the teircli of civil war ; to
crimson her bosom with the blood of countrymen, neigh-
linens paid by the old tariff 25 percent, and are to pay
by the new 15 per cent; servants clothing under the
old tariff 45 to 85 per rent, ail valorem, and under the
new 50 per rent, fee. Ac. Thus we discover that the
present Bill is much preferable to the Tariff of 1828.
Then why did not every member from the South take
the least of these two evils'? Why did not every mem
ber from Georgia, like Wayne and Forsyth, vote for
the present Tariff Bill, and look forward toils gradual
reduction, rather than its total abolition. The people
have just grounds for complaint, and I have no doubt
but what they will complain; anil these persons have
reason to fear their indignation and displeasure on the.
first Monday of October next. This meeting then is the
commencement of a series of meetings that are to be
held, for what? For the osttnsiblf and at meed object of
redressing our wrongs, when tve krow, that it is only t<>
secure their re-election to Congress, or to effect some oth
er party purpose. In order that this meeting should lx-
large and thus command respect, invitations were given
to individuals at a distance, who were known to be in
favor of this political manoeuvre.—But they forbid all
persons not friendly to their object, or at least they with
held written invitations from two of our delegation, sim
ply because they voted in favor of the modified Tariff
of the last session of Congress. Thus endeavoring to
cut off all opposition, and even to preclude the possibility

people, in plain and direct language : “ In order to shake

tariff, will vou rush into civil war? Will you dissolve
the Union!”
THE FARODY OF THE JACKSONIAN.
The editorial of a late Jacksonian, instead of ac
knowledging the fault, on which vve remarked, and
offering a suitable Apology, has presented us with a
parody of the rebuke, which we thought proper to
administer to that press. This levity we think not
entirely in harmony with the grave and virtuous
character of our old friend, the original Jackso
nian. But we feel assured that his pen is guiltless
of either of the offending articles : and, if we do
hot greatly err, we know the sourbe whence tiiey
proceed.
In executing his parody, the nuthbr has shewn
some ingenuity f and as it is, in a great measure, a
one would prefer seeing it and understanding it for my
self, to taking the ipse uixit r even of Judge Clayton.
But how docs he prove this assertion? by stating that
Mr. Clay and some of the other leading men, seem to
laugh at our calamity. I would sooner see him take the
old and new rate and compare them; and thus we could
discover by a correct process, whether we have been
benefited or not, and if relieved, to what extent, this is
a fair and correct method, the contrary is not. But if
this was improper, by what, name would you call the
method by which they adopted the resolutions? I feel
confident, that when the vote for the adoption of the re
solutions was taken, not filore than one hundred citizens
•f Oglethorpe were heard trt raise their voice. I would
not be Understood assaying that their audience consist
ed entirely °nc hundred citizens of the county—so far
from it, I am free to confess that there were a thousand
individuals present, a large number of whom were per
sons from a distance—coming with hearts of brass, and
a determination to carry every thing liefore them.—
These were heard loudest in the plaudits of an eloquent
appeal, and most forward in raising their voice in favor
< f the resolutions—while the citizens half astonished,
seemed to stand off almost in a frieiit; and yet we hear
work of lanev, we would not hind nihi down very j sa i(j that the citizens of Oglethorpe have acted nobly
closely to the truth. To carry out his play upon j ; n being the first to call a meeting for the purpose of
bur words, some latitude was 'necessary ; and wc • adupHr.gsuri: resolu*ions. Is it not mere mockery m call
TOR THE FEDERAL UNION.
Messrs. Editors I have read in several news
papers a set of resolutions adopted by certain per
sons of the county of Oglethorpe, in relation to the
Tarift’Law, and a general as well as special invi
tation to attend another meeting in the same coun
ty, to make further arrangements on the same sub
ject. 1 have heard it suggested that the plan of
this meeting w"as arranged at Washington City,
where some ol its conspicuous actors have recent
ly sojosrned. It has been also surmised that this
plan of operations was cunningly devised for the
purpose of attempting to draw the good people of
Georgia into the scheme of the South Carolina
Traitors, at the head of whom is Thomas Cooper,
the notorious English Renegade, to Commence
forcible resistance to the constituted authorities of
the Union. Having signally failed at Hamburgh,
these gentry have now broke ground higher up
the river; and no doubt similar conventions will
be called and the public mind kepi in constant fer
mentation, until some great calamity shall leach
our people bow unlbrtunate it is la be lead l>3 r
blind guides and knavish politicians.
I meddle hut little, Messrs. Editors, with poli
tics—hut in matters of such serious import as
those, we are uow contemplating, every citizen,
however humble his station, is deeply interested—
and all who desire peace arid prosperity at home—
who deprecate the evils of anarchy, ol despotism,
and of being again subjected to ihe same foreign
Colonial bondage, from which our forefathers re
deemed us : I say it becomes all such, if we can
not allay the storm, to breast it with the determi
nation, .to abide the issue of blood ; to keep their
“ arms” always burnished and bright, and to be
ever ready at the call of Jackson to rally around
the “ Star Spangled Banner,” that beautiful en
sign of dur glorious Union, which our ancestors
under tiie guidance* of Washington, bore triumph
antly over those memorable fields that secured our

Surely our proud State of Georgia will not'con
sent to follow the British incendiary, Cooper, and
his hireling crew—surely there is virtue and intel
ligence enough among her citizens to put to shame
the base machinations of foreign despots, and such
degenerate Americans as have become their wil
ling tools ! Yes ! By the memory of the com
mon sufferings of cutr fatliers endured to acheve
the liberty 7 we now enjoy—By the memory of the
illustrious dead who fought and bled hv side in the
same holy cause—By the memory of those deeds
of patriotism which shall shed a never dving light
down tiie vista of remotest time to guide genera
tions yet unborn, in the same path of viitue and
patriotism which m r fathers trod,—By the memory
of our immurlsl Washington—his services—his
affectionate counsels—his ardent aspirations for

for that Almighty Being from whose bounty we
have derived all good: By the memory of all these,
Georgia win oe itnma mit nuu ^
Let the storm burst where it will, let foreign emis

work of horror—let them incite the guiity passions
of the depraved, to acts of lawless violence and
Treason, yet faithful to herself, to human happi

in her strength, and crush the Traitor, and blot out
the Treason that would stain the puritv of her

RESOLUTIONS No 1.
Whereas the people rtf Georgia have, inprimkrv
assemblies, at diflyrnt ti’mes, and by their Repre
sentatives in the Legislature from year to year,
resolved, (hat a Tariff System, §%far as the same
was intended for the protection of domesticAnauu-
factures, was oppressive to Southern intefesi, un
constitutional ,and unjust—and the same having
been submitted to, thus long, solely for the purpose!
of enabling the Federal, Government to pay off
and disciiarge the public debt, wiiieh may now be
considered as accomplished'; and whereas, the
State of Georgia has remonstrated, memorialized,
and protested against the continuance of such a
system—all which has been passed by, unheeded
by the Federal Legislature—and the late Congress
having adjourned without relieving us from tbe
burden;
We, the citizens of the county of Walton, deem
it our privilege and duty, as freemen and as citi
zens of a Sovereign State, to enter our solemn
protest against such abuse of power. We cannot,
in justice to ourselves, submit to a system which
will entail poverty on us and otir offspring, for the
sole benrfit of manufacturing capitalists.
1st. Therefore be it resolved, That we will resist
the said protective system, hy all constitutional
means, to the utmost of our power and ability.
2J. .ind be it further resolved, That in the opi
nion of this meeting, the hopes of the South for a
deliverance from the evils under which they labor,
and for the perpetuation of our once happy and
beloved Union, mainly depend on the re-election
of that distinguished Patriot and Statesman, An
drew Jackson ; and that any measure calculated to
embarrass his administration, or detbat his re-elec
tion, ought to be deprecated bv every Patriot of>
the South.
3d. Therefore be it further resolved, That we
are opposed to JVulliJicatinn as the mode of redress
tor our grievances, lor as much as we consider it
neither constitutional nor peaceable; as it must in
the very nature of things briig us directly in col
lision with the Gen. Government and end in a state
ol' open war.
.Ind be it further resolved, That we recommend
to our fellow citizens in each 'county (liiotighout
the State, to have meetings, and appoint delegates
to meet at Milledgeville, on the second Monday in
November next, to devise the most proper and ef
ficient measures to remedy the afore,said cvjls.
Major A. B. Holt then moved'dial the 3d reso
lution of the substitute be stricken out, which mo
tion being further discussed, was lost by a small
majority.
On motion, it was ordered, that the proceedings
of this iiieeting.be signed by the chairman aud
.secretary, end published in the Federal Union and
Georgia Journal.
The meeting then adjourned. .

MONROE, Walton Cocntf,
August 7th, 1832.
In pursuance of a previous notice, a large and
respectable number of ihe citizens of this place
and of the county, assembled at the Court House,
on this day, to take into consideration some early
and efficient measure of relief from the evils of the
present Tariff. The meeting being called to or
der, Col. John P. Lucas was called to the chair,
and Major T. J. Hill appointed Secretary.
On motion, a committee consisting of Messrs.
A. B. Holt, P. O. Lumpkin, Robert M. Echols,
Win. J. Vason, Egbert B. Beall, Waters Brisco!,
and Janies Ferguson, were appointed by the chair,
to draft and report suitable resolutions for the oc
casion, who retired for a short time, returned and
reported the following preamble and resolutions, to
wit: 1 ,
NULLIFICATION.
Whereas it is the deep and deliberate conviction
of this meeting, that the Laws enacted by the
Congress of the U. States, commonly called the
TariffLaws, are a palpable and dangerous viola
tion of the Constitution of the U. States’, and do
impose an unjust, unequal, and oppressive tax up
on the labour and industry of the Southern States,
for the unwise and illiberal purpose of protecting
the Manufacturers of the Northern States,—
And, whereas at a late meeting of a portion of
our fellow citizens at Athens—it was
Resohrd, That we will not lungei submit to the
system of legislation, which is arbitrary, unequal,
unconstitutional, and therefore unjust,—and that
it be recommended to the citizens of the different
counties to elect delegates to attend a State Con
vention to Le held atMiiledgeville, on the 2d Mon
day in November next.
Be it therefore Resolved, That this meeting
deem it an imperative and paramount dutv of
freemen at all hazards, to resist oppression, and
vindicate their rights and liberties from any uncon
stitutional violation.
Resolved, That we are devotedly attached to
the Union of these Slates, and at all times will for
bear and suffer evils, so long as they are sufferable,
and compatible with the duty wc owe ourselves
and posterity, if such forbearance will fetid to per
petuate the Union, and preserve the Constitution
in its original purity—but if oppression compelts
us to choose between the Union on the one hand,
and the Constitution and Liberty on the other, we
must forget that we are the descendents of the
farthers of our glorious revolution before we can
he persuaded to cling to the former, and give up
the latter.
Resolved, That we consider it an unprofitable
Waste of words, yea, unbecoming tbe character of
freemen, to parley longer with the advocates of
these odious and oppressive laws—That the power
of truth, and force of reason have lost their wonted
influence, upon them, and that “ the argument is
exhausted,” and all peaceable means recognized
by the Constitution have been resorted to l>v us to
be released from the operation of said laws. We
are therefore prepared, and do most solemnly de
clare that, so soon as a majority of the freemen of
this State shall concur with us, and concert mea
sures for united action, we will no longer submit to
jie plundered of our property by this system of
Federal legislation, which has reduced us to worse
than Colonial bondage, and violated the most sacred
principles of the Constitution.
Be it further Resolved, That we concur in the
Sehtiments expressed by tbe meeting at Athens,
and recotntnend.to the citizens of Walton county,
io hold an election for Delegates to meet said Con
vention at Milledgeville on the 2d Monday in No
vember next.
And the same being read, arid some considerable
discussion having taken place ; Major P. O. Lump
kin. offered the following, which was Jfnally adopt-
FROM THF. N. YORK JOURNAL OF COMMERCE.
There never was a more delightful exhibition of
Christian bene volence than is new witnessed in
this city. The generous donations which have
been ^recorded, and which still continue to flow in,
form but an itemin ttie genera [aggregate. Num
bers of our most accomplished ladies are engaged
day after day in making garments for the poor and
distressed, while Committees of gentlemen, who
at home sit on elegant sofas and waik on Brussels
carpets, are searching out the abodes of poverty,
tilth and disease, and administering personally to
the wants of the wretched inmates. There is no
telling the misery which they often meet with and
relieve. The committee ot the Sixth Ward; in
Dnrli^uljir. piwnoo otKvr UOlH
of humanity, they have penetrafed the recesses of
the P’ive Points now'little else than a lazaar-house,
and caused the tenements, to be white-washed and
'cleansed, and the sick to be provided with physi
cians or sent fo'tlie Hospitals, not omitting th wkVn
the wicked of their evil ways, and pojht'tnem to
the Great Physician of the soul. We believe they
have already been instrumental in saving many
lives, as they unquestionably 7 have in mitigating
the ravages of disease among that miserable popu-
ation.

The Leipsic Fair.—Tbe fair of Leipsic',. which
commenced in May, is by far the best that has oc
curred for tbe last 25 years Tbe Prussian man
ufactures sold to the amount of more than 3,000,-
000, dollars. Great quantities of German linens,
and the best sheet iron from Prussia, was sold.—
The price of c'oth was from three to five dollars
more than the last year. The Saxon cloths and
the Saxon and Prussian calicoes and cotton goods
were bought up actively. The market was over
stocked with sole leather, hut other articles in leath
er went off well. The prices of the hare and fox
skins were much depressed; the Greek merchants
having combined not to purchase except at moder
ate prices. In North American sables much was
done, there being few Russian b'hes. Much done
in French and German silks, as well as in pigs’
bristles, which were sent to Paris and Lyons. The
wool fair was postponed to March last, and the
English, who did not intend buying wool, left on
ihe 20th, fearful of disturbance in England. Cast
iron, of beautiful quality came for the first time
from Vienna. The English bookseller, Black, did
much business, but the hook trade was generally
dull.—The whole retufhs of the fair tip to may 22,
when accounts left Leipsic, had amounted to twen
ty-four millions of dolla r?. The wools were expec
ted to goflff well.
