delayed it one year, at the request of tiic delega-

prevent speculations to a great extent, if this had
any thing to do will\ it. The Montgomery Ad-

Great. Bank Robbery.—We learn that the
Banking house of the Philadelphia Bank was
entered by means of false keys, between Satur
day evening and yesterday morning, and rob
bed of small notes amounting to about sixty
theer thousand DOLLARS. IIow a robber
could gain admittance to the vaults of an insti
tution which keeps constantly in pay an outside
watch, we cannot imagine, but this has been
done twice within a year in Philadelphia, and
was twice done two years since in New York.
Among the notes taken, were about Thirty
Eigt Hundred Dollars of the Doylestown Bank,
nearly an equal amount oft he Bank of German
town, and a considerable amount in Trenton
,,2\os. The rest was in notes of Philadelphia
banks; I Heading those of every" denomination
except thousandsani-lfi e hundreds, i he num
ber of fifties stolen is very small.
It will be seen bv the advertisement of the
cashier of the Bank, that a reward of Three
Thousand Dollars is offered for the detection of j present wr
the robbers.
specious garb of “State Rights Associations.’
We warn the people against tlieir mischievous
designs. The pure, unsophisticated doctrines
of tiiate Rights, need no such extra republican
combinations for their successful propagation;
indeed the friends of no principles, whether re
ligious, moral or political, that have truth and
virtue on their side, would stoop for a moment to
such means for their support and protection.—
Tiie glorious revolution which established the
liberties of this groat country, wa3 not brought
about by the agency of Jacobinical clubs and
cabals—the constitution which secures these
liberties to the people was not established under
their influence: nor was the civil revolution,
which placed hlr. Jefferson in the Presidential
cnairin 801. and which hurled the monarchists
from power, effected through tlieir instrumen
tality. Were they resorted to in France when
the revolution of “the three days” placed the
citizen King on the throne, and su-i the doating
old Charles a waudering “by-wonl and re
proach” among the nations] Have they ever
disgraced the noble minded Briton in his straight
forward, undeviating course toward the attain
ment of civil and religious liberty? No—blit
we wili inform our readers when they have been
resorted to, by whom, and of their unvaryingcon-
sequeuces when successfully practised against
the people. They were first successfully put
in requisition in France—not to establish tiie
liberties of the French on the ruins of prostrat
ed tyranny—but lor the purpose of bathing the
thirsty souls of a few party tyrants—Marat,
Robespierre, Danton and others—in oceans af
the purest blood of that devoted people. And
they have been resorted to under the guidance
of one, in a sister State, whose taste for human
gore was acquired under the tutorage and in the
school ol those very" Tyrants of tiie French
Revolution! And if they have failed to satisfy
his thirst lot'blood, they have at least delighted
his ears with the cries of Carolinians in chains.
'They produced in France—not liberty, but ty-
k**o> r , ( j ; n jji 00( p They have produced in

I lie people of South Carolina w^re lulled
into security by the cry of peaceful and consti-
) tulionalnullification—they were deceived by do-
signing demagogues out of their signatures, and
when they woke up to the truth, it was too late
for them to retract! People of Georgia, will
vou allow yourselves to be deceived in the same
way, by their agents and emissaries in this State?
The bait is very tempting it is true—we ail love
“State Rights”—but beware! the hook nullifi
cation is concealed beneath it! Is it not enough
for freemen that we can enjoy liberty of con
science, and believe in what political doctrines
we please, without submitting to a set of dema
gogues, who call upon us to sign our names and
pledge our purses to support any and every dog
ma which they may choose to dictate? C m we
not be State Rights men without stooping so low
as to satisfy our masters, that we are not only'
such, but are willing to yield to them our sig
natures, and to pledge to them our purses for the
support of any constructions which they may
choose to give to that doctrine? We hope better
things. The free born sons of Georgia can
never become so debased. Let them look to

and practices which have brought her to her

Washington, Jan. G. IS34.
To the House of Representatives:
I communicate to Congress an extract of a
letter recently received from James R. Leib,
Consul of the United States at Tangier, by which
it appears that that officer has been induced to
receive from the Emperor of Morrocco, a pre
sent of a Lion and two Horses, which he holds
us belonging to the United States. There being
no funds at the disposal of the Executive appli
cable to the objects stated by Mr. Leib, I submit
the whole subject to the consideration of Con
gress, for such direction, asiti their wisdom may
seem proper. 4
I have directed instructions to be given to all

in future, unless previously authorized by Con
gress, they will not, under any circumstances,
accept presents of any description from tiny for

The editor », me Sentinel frankly and tinea"*''
ocuily acknox ledges that the n-.wiuiKMis in ques
tion, fully embrace the doctrine <>l Nullification,
“else he certainly would never have subscribed to
them.” Tins is very explicit, and exhibits that
candor which is expected from the editor ol die
Sentinel. Bui if he places ms own consistency in
bo il relief, we cone- ive that he pays a very poor
c•mpiiment to the consistency of some ol those
who subscribed to the resolutions, i iiose resolu
tions embrnce fully ihe dootrine ol Nullification,
and yet tiie editor asserts that “he knows that
many who subscribed to those resolutions are op
p sed IO Nullification?” The resolutions embrace
Nullification: they are opposed to Nullification:
merclore, tnev subscribe lo die resolutions! Is this
logic? Bui ihe editor of the Sentinel gives us an-
oinerspecimen <4 the logic. <>1 the new school to
which he belongs. “They [nuilifiers and nnti-
nuliiliers] mel, tiiercfoie, upon .common ground,
and avowed the principles in which they all agreed,
[‘die right of the Slate to choose for iisell the
mode and measure of redress, when it believed the
constitution of the United Siates violated,’] each
party reserving its own opinions as to the applica
tion of those principles.” The resolution# adop
ted hv the State Rights’ Pariv, embrace fuliy the
doctrine of nninficntion, and yet they “avowed the
principles in which they ail agreed,” and voted
lot resolutions which embrace fully the doctrine
of Nullification! As this kind of logic involves
die political consistency of some of our distinguish
ed citizens, die puhiic wpuld no doubt be gratified,
should those who subscribed to the resolutions,
and vet were opposed to the doctrine of nuliifica-
noi., come forward and declare, that when they
gave tlieir assent to those resolutions, they were
impressed with the belief '-hat they did not em
brace fully the doctrine of JVuliJiection.—Augusta
Constitutionalist.
Jacobinical Associations.—True to the orders
issued from head quarters in December last, the
agents of Cooper, Calhoun, & Co., in various
parts of the State, are forming “Clubs” for the
JYeiv York.—In the House of Assembly, Jan
uary, 10, the following resoludons, offered by Mr.
AJ'Keon, were adopted, yeas 148, nays 9:
“Resolved, [if the Senate concur.] That tiie re
moval of the public deposites from (lie Bank of the
United Stale-, is a measure of the administration
of which we highly approve.
“Resolved, [if the Senate concur,] That, the Seri-
ators from this State be directed, and the Repre
sentatives from this Slate be requested, to oppose
any attempt to restore the deposites to tiie Bank
of the United States.
“Resolved, [if ihe Senate concur,] That we ap
prove of the communications.bv the President of
the United States, to his cabinet, on the 18th Sep
tember last, and of ilie reasons given hy the Sec
retary of the Treasury relative to the removal of
the deposites.
“Resolved, [if the Senate concur,] Tliat the
charter ot the Bank of the United States ought
not to be renewed.
“Resolved, [if Hie Senate concur,] Tliat the Sec
retary of Slate be requested to forward to each
Senator and Representative a copy of these reso
lutions.”
VVe learn from tiie correspondence of the Cin
cinnati Daily Gazette, an anti-administration pa
lter, that the preamble and resolutions approving
ol the removal of the deposites, and instructing the
Ohio delegatioiiin Congress not to vote fora rechar
ter of the United States’Bank, and to oppose Mr.
Clay’s Land Bill, which passed the Senate without
debate, I lad been reconsidered, and recalled from
the House, whither they had been sent. On ihe
same day they were thrown into a different form,
uniting the Deposites, the Bank Charter, and tiie
land bill in one sentence, and passed, riie cor
respondent of ihe Gazette «ay s , that they wilt be
passed hy the House “beyond a doubt.”—Phila
delphia Sentinel.
jYeiv Jersey.—The Legislature met on the 8ih,
and on tiie lltii the following resolutions passed
both Houses;
“Stats of New Jersey.—Joint Resolutions.
VV ht •reus nii* present crisis in our pub ic affairs calls
for a decided expression of the vfocc of the peo

undoubted right of the Legislators? of the sever
al Slates to instruct those wiio represent their
interest in the councils of the nation, m ail mat
ters winch intimately concern tiie puhiic weal,
and may affect tiie happiness or well being of
the people*—Therefore,
“t. lie. it resolved by ihe Council and General
Assembly of this Stale, That while we acknov.-
iedge with foe.iiig< of devout gratitude our obli
gations to t tie great ruler of nations for His mer
cies ion- ns a people, that wc have been preserved
alike from foreign war, from the evils ot internal
commo:ions, and the machinations of designing
and ambitious men, who would prostrate the fair
fabric of our Union, that we ought nevertheless
io humble ourselves in His presence, and impure
His aid for ihe perpetuation of our Republican In-
siitntions, and f >r a continuance of that unexam
pled prosperity which our country has hitherto en
enjoyed.
“2. Resolved, Tiiat we have undiminished con
fidence in the integrity and firmness of the vener
able patriot who now holds the distinguished post
of Chief Magistrate of this nation, and whose
purity «of purpose and ejevaied motives have so
oficn received ihe unqualified approbation of a
iarge majority of Ids follow citizens.
“3. Resolved, That we view with agitation and
alarm, the existence and gigantic power of a great
monied incorporation, which threatens to embar
rass the operations of the government, and by
means of its unbounded influence upon the cur
rency of the country, to scatter distress and ruin
throughout tiie community; and tliat we therefore
solemnly believe the present Bank of the United
Stales ought not to he rechartered.
“4. Resolved, That our Senators in Congress
be instructed, and our members of the House of
a murder was committed on the body of J ames L.
Anderson, in the county of Monroe in tfiis State, on the
sixth day of January last, by JACOB LEWIS; and it beint'

ment of the town cf Milledgeviile, passed the 24th of April,
1823: Provided, Thai nothing herein contained shall be con
sidered as applying to goods imported by regular merchant*
of the town who are hi the custom of paying taxes, or to
goods brought in for the purpose of being sold at auction,
but to those only imported by itinerant traders ortomei-
cd with considerable inconvenience.
That provision of the constitution which pro
hibits any officer, without tiie consent of Con
gress, to accept any present, from any foreign
power, may be considered as having been satisfi
ed by the surrender of tiie articles to the gov
ernment, ai d tliev might now he disposed of by
Congress to those tor whom they were original
ly intended; or to their heirs, with obvious pro
priety in both cases—and in the latter would he
received as grateful memorials of the charac
ter of tiie present.
As, under the positive order now given, simi
lar presentscannot hereafter be received, even
for tiie purpose of being placed at the disposal
ol the Government, I recommend to Congress
to authorize by law, that the articles already in
tiie Department of State, shall be delivered to
the persons to whom they were originally pre
sented, if living, dnd to the heirs of such us may
have died. ANDREW JACKSON.
Tlu* Legislature of South Carolina has enacted
a law requiring Ihe public officers of that State, to
take an oath ot" allegiance, before they enter upon
1 lie duties of tlieir offices. It passed hy a large
majority. Tiie minority in South Carolina, now
have nothing to Jo, in order to prove the oppressive
nature of the test oath—according to die doctrine
of the Nuilifiers—but to show tiiat the law was en
acted hy tiie majority. And for arguments unan
swerable, (in the opinion ot tiie Nuilies,) they have
only to reiterate those arrayed against tiie Gener
al Government, by that same majority.—Knoxville 1
{Ten.) Republican.
Should the people of Greenville District j
throw theinselvos upon their sovereignty and
resist the military law and test oath passed at
the last session of the Legislature of South Car
olina, as they declare they will do, what then
will the nuilifiers do? Will they pass a “Bloo
dy Bill” and coerce Greenville, or will they per
mit her to declare herself independent of the
laws of the State and let het secede? Such an
event as the latter would be only carrying out
the principles of nullification. If the dominant
party in that State are not a little more prudent,
they will soon be under the necessity of viola
ting some of their leading principles, or get into
a very awkward dilemma. Those mountain
eers are desperately exasperated, and they are
firm and resolute fellows; they declare those
laws, tyrannical and unjust, and tliat they will
not submit to them, but resist and maintain their
inalienable rights with the bayonet—that they
have drawn their swords and thrown away
the scabbards, and will not put them up again I
