\ HYPOCRITE.—The fury, with which
«[ r . Calhoun, and those who work the wires
with him, can take up the abolition-topic, and
•;. c ease with which they can let it go, had long
,:ice convinced us, that they were merely act
|,,, a part for political effect. When they
shrunk from the dangers of practical nullifiea
o:i, and ail their boasted chivalry ended in a
termination to save their lives, they needed
-’.other agitating topic, to withdraw the public
i attention from their disgrace; and they instantly
U.zedon abolition fur this purpose. Suddenly,
n ,.y were furiously bent on a dissolution of the
r.v.on, and military preparation to resist the
a-sijrns of the abolitionists. Soon followed the
j.psite question. The enemies of the admin
stratiori Imped, by arraying the tremendous
:,owcr of the United Stales’ Bank, by deranging
the currency, by oppressing the commercial
community, by threatening universal ruin, bv

the president. Suddenly, tlie nullifiers lorgr-t
the abolitionists; they let the subject go; on this
qicstion all at once they are quite at ease.—
fiieiranti-abolition fury is laid: and all their
passions are expend- d on the bank question —
On this question they are again defeated: the
people sustain the president. Another change
Is needed; and they seize on the abolition-topic
with renewed fury. It is as easy for them to
lay it down, and to take it up again, as it is for
arm to take off his coat, and put it on. The
pas-and rapidity with which thev make these

j Fort Dame, March 8, 183S.
bin -. By direction oi general Clinch, I opened your com-
f munication of the Gth instant, which arrived last night in
1 advance of the waggons. Von will perceive by my letter
of the 5th, that general Clinch, with all the forces at this
j post, and one hundred mounted men from the vicinity, had
left lor th- Withlacooohee, to escort a small supply of cattle,
j ammunition, &e. to general Gaines, having reciv-d tlie
| night before a third express from that officer. No word
j has been received from either of those generals since
I the 5ih.
i VV lion general Clinch 1 ft here, ha exp-cted to he back on
I the 9th. Th • probability is, that th- waggons will return
without an escort, there h
success, against tho enemy upon Tampa Bay; when, at I Presbyterian church, adjourned the convention sine die, and

and soon after Ins return, he was attacked by a '
fever, which, in its developement, proved to b -
the bniall-Pox. He and Ins attendants were
cat tied without delay, to ihe Hospital; and a
2nai'd was posted, io prevent any improper com
munication with the uninfect d.* This unpleas
ant occurrence has produced no alarm in Mil-
ledgeville; and the public mind is tlie more tran
quil, because the universal vaccination of tlie
ieast year leaves but few subjects for Small-Pox.
V\ e trust it will not spread.
In the case ol Mr Cosnard, this malignant
disease was not violent; but his system was pros
trated by a complication of diseases, and had
not the vigor necessary to carry him through
hit* eruption. He was a worthy man; and there
unhappy fate.
THE WAR IN FLORIDA.
At Camp M'R-a, four of the South Carolina
volunteers, immediately after roll call in the
morning, went unarmed, to the distance of four
or five hundred yards from the post, to obtain
fire-wood, when they were fired upon bv about
fifty Indians, who had been skulking, unobserv
ed, in the swamp. Tvvo of the party were shot J
down by tlie fust fire of the savages; a third was
pierced hy ten rifle balls, while running towards
the camp, and fell d; ad. Twenty or thirty In
dians, seeing the fourth man flying towards the
camp, endeavored to cut «<fl his retreat: but lie
outstripped them in this race for life, and es
caped by Ins superior fleet ness. Thev fired
when only len paces from him, but missed him.
The Indians w>-re immediately pursued bv a
large part of the force at Camp M Rea, but
were se£n no more.

INTERESTING DAY IN THE HOUSE.
A most interesting debate has been going oil in the House
on the Fortification Bill which is yet undecided. David
and Goliah have been in the contest of discussion—Hardin,
of Kentucky, and Cushing*, of Massachusetts.
Prior to one o’clock, p large bundle of doenm.rats accom
panied by a message from the President, was received —
Both message and documents had reference to (lie causes of
and tilt: IV peaceably remain, until tlie wishes of j the Florida disturbances. Several private bills were acted

when and where they snould be required. This i s hre»d a..dstudio.
sembleil citizens soon discovered
the artifice, questioned the power of the agitators to take
this course under their notice, and assembled in the Cnze-
UoY.'n house, where they organized by the appointment of a
temporary chairman ar.il secretary. From thence they ad-'
jonrned to the Methodist chapel, completed the organization
of the convention by the- appointment of a president, vice- i
presidents and secretaries, and unanimouslv adopted the re- ■
solutions contained in the proceedings. The number pre-i
sent was upwards of 200, among the most substantial and i
respectable citizens of the county, as will bo seen by the ;
names of tlie presiding officers. After the resolutions had
been reported and read, the abolitionists were railed ttnon
to state their reasons why they ought not to he adopted; but
th.-v were all silent Whether or not tho restless agitator of
the day, Mr. Gerrit Smith, who resides in Madison county,
was present on the occasion, we aro not informed; hut it is
very evident that his frpsh scheme of notoriety will prove
as abort've even in the county of his residence, as any of
those which have been started and abandoned from the
same quarter during the past ten years.
\ NTI- \ BOLITION MEETING.
■‘County Convention.—A meeting of the citizens o*
the county of Madison—as well those hostile as those friend
ly to the abolition of American Slavery, is invited to lie held
in the village of Cazenovia, on Thursday the 25th of Feb
ruary instant, at 10 o’clock A. M. It is expected that inter
esting questions will he discussed at this meeting and that a
proposition will ho made in it, for organizing a Madison
County Anti-Slavery Society.”
rTiie signatures of 35 persons, Ihrco from each town,
were appended to the notice.]
In pursuance of the foregoing call, a meeting was held at
ih» Cazenovia house, m the villageof Cazenovia, on Thurs
day the 25th day of February, 1836, of which Ezra Brown
was appointed chairman pro. lem., and J. C. Walker, sec
retary pro.teth.
It was then Resolved. That a committee be appointed
to nominate officers of the meeting, and that they report at
the methodist chapel in this village at 2 o’clock, P. AI. of
the same day, !a which fituo and place the meeting was ad
journed.
At a meeting* held pursuant to tho above mentioned ad
journment, at the methodist chapel, in tho village of Caz"-
novin, at 2 o’clock, P. M., of Thursday the 25th February,
I83G, the committee appointed to nominate officers having
reported, the Hon. Charles Stebhins was appointed presi
dent. J. D. Ledvard and D. B. Johnson, vice-presidents,
and E C. Litchfield and Clias. 1{. S. Williams, secretaries.
Th' 1 following resolutions were then submitted and adopt
ed:
R' S' lvrd, That while we view the existence of slavery as
an evil, went the same time consider it unwise and impoli
tic to ntt' inpt its abolition through tho lnurffcused by abo
lition sovietes, inasmuch as tin ppople ot%e noil-slave*
holding sta'cs, possess neither the right nor the power un
der our federal constitution, to interfere with the relation of
master and slave, as at present existing in the slaveholding
States.
R'■sitced. That tho formation of abolition .societies, and
the in *ans resorted to by them, to operate upon public opin
ion at the south, are productive of no good, but have been
of much mischief, and may he of incalculable evil.
Resolved therefore. That the formation of an abolition
society in this county, is inexpedient and improper, and that
this meetiug he now dissolved.

STEAMBOAT DISASTER.
Yesterday was adav of disaster and gloom in Mobile.—
'Ve were visted by one of those sud*len and destructive in
flictions which sometimes fill a whole community with pain
ful excitement, and carry distress into numerous families.—
The boilers of the steamboat Ben Ftanklin, a passenger
boat between this place and Montgomery, exploded jest as
sh.* was getting under way, and killed or wounded between
25 and 30 human beings.
The Ben Franklin was advertised to start at 10 o’clock
in th-* morning. She was crowded with passmgers, includ
ing a large number of ladies, and children. Sh* was first
detained waiting for a passenger, in g< (ting out from ths
wharf, soma delay ocrured. She got foul of the anchor of
th-- Dover, am] when clear of that, she headed so as to make
it a matter of sorn n difficulty to bring her into the proper di
rection. U hen ibis was done, or indeed before it was en
tirely completed, and while her head was inclined towards
th<* shore, at a distance of some 20 to 25 yards, the engine
was set in full motion. The delay prodouced by these work
ings, before she could he goi under full head way, was per
haps ten minutes, during which time it was remarked bv
persons on shore that she worked strangely. The paddles
had sea red v made three revolutions, before o terriblo ex
plosion look plncp. Those onshore, and there were hun
dreds collected to see her off heard a deep report, like the
dull sound of u heavy piece of artillery, followed instanta
neously by a sharper report, nnd still another in quick succes
sion. The forward part of the boat, including the boilers,
boiler deck, pilot house nnd chimneys, w>*re seen blown out
ns if from th*> mouth of a vast mortor, nnd among the Eying
fragments human bodies were wheeling through the air, to
nn immense n fight. One boiler had exploded forward, the
others recoih J. were forced over the side of the bontand
exploded bcfii-e they reached the water. As they sunk,
withstood hissing, volume of vapour enveloped the ill-
fated boat. The sound of ihe explosion was heard with ir
regular distinctness in the stillness of a fine Sabbath morn
ing, throughout the city, nnd its nature was universally un
derstood. Every avenue was instantly filled with crowds
thonging to the wharves, filled with distress and alarm, for
the fate of the hundreds who were on board. A most dis
mal omen of w hat was to bo expected, was seen in the foil
into one of the docks of the mangl'd body of one of the
passengers, which having been projected to an incredible
height, some say who saw it, 290 feet, came down a bloody
and disfigur'd mass, close hy Dauphin street wharf, at least
n hundred yards from the boat. Others were struggling in
ihe wa' r. f. i’-gR fragments of ihe boiler reached ihe shore;
small"r pieces were carried quite into theslr.vf. Oils large
piece fell upon the deck of « barge at the nearfsl pier, and
broke its way through tne hatches. Boats were immedi
ately put off to pick up those in the water, nnd give aid to
the boat; and though the destruction on board was not so
widens had her-nap»rehended, the scene displayed was one
•>f ghastly horror. 'I he cabins had escaped entirely. The
explosion was confined to that pari of the boat directly a-
hovn and before the boilers. ’I he victims weree.hiefly the
hands of the boat, and such passengers ss were at tho time
immediately around ihe engine, or upon ilia boiler deck.—
Only a small part cf the boilers was found—the whole mass
of iron bad been rent, and scattered, and the fragments that
did remain, were torn apart like wet brown paper. The
boa! if r xhibited a mass of black and smouldering ruins
as if a v i- i cavity had been hollowed on! by gunpowder,
and th'-ri partly filled up with broken and charred beams
nnd fragments of burning iron, reeking w ith clouds of
streaming vapor. Those who were most seriously hurt
w r * imm. .Irately taken ashore, and the wreck was towed
to th" wharf. In the hOrry and horror produced by tlie ex
plosion, th; . xtrat of the destruction of lift was at first
gr"aiiy magnified. Reports gave a large list of victims kill
ed and wounded, and a still l;*.rg"r of the missing. In such
a crowd of ;.:.sscngers, friends wore eagerly sought for, and
if not promptly found, a fearful fate was conjectured fir
them. Tlie confusion, hurry and distress tor a long time
prevented any precise knowledge of the actual extent of the
destruction. iVe arc not own sure now, that the list of the
missing is comp! bra : * and liope that it may

Whilst however we make this declaration so flattering and

encouraging to the moralist and philanthropist of our conn-

duty and the responsibility which we sustain to the country,
that although vv* have been unable to detect vice or to un

perpetrator*, yet it doubtless exists, under many forms loan
alarming extent, protected by such disguises ns its deformity
causes it to asauiac. We are strongly apprehensive that
