ELIAS HEED.
Justice to “one of the people* and my-
telf lequire that I should notice the above
statement. Tho facts are these*—Or. Wed
nesday morning lust Mr. Reed called at the
[office or the Savannah Republican, as 1 was
.Informed, for the purpose of demanding
.from me the author of ‘ oue of the people. 1 *
Of; learning this 1 sent to Mr. Reed and
communicated to him that I would meet
hi m at tny office at 5 o’clock that evening.
Mr. K. called; and after some preliminary
jponvjrsation, he asked meif I would give
ftim the author of “one of the people ” that
appeared in the Savannah Republican of
the 31st utt. to which I replied that I could
not then give him an answer; as i wished
4lr*t to have an interview with the writer.
iMr U. assented to this; and observed that
he was in no hurry for the author—That he
svnnld be contented if he received his name
the com ae of next week. On the day
following, at twelve o’clock, Mr. R. was
informed that ( Had seen “one of the peo
ple” ana him to meet me at five
o’clock at which time 1 would communi
cate ''ilh him in relation to the demand
he had made of me the day previous. At
the time appointed an interview between
jyir. R-eil and xuvself took place When
1 stated to him that if was the wish of
}«unc of the people” that his name should
no; be disclosed before the publication of
hU second piece, which appears in this eve
nt g** paper. Mr R. observed that he could
not assent to these terms, ttheo told
him that l would waive this wish of the
author and was ready to give him his
tjame, provided he would comply with cer
tain conditions, which I should, nsine to
him. To this Mr K. objected, and declar-
-cd that he could not take the name with
ftny conditions annexed to it. After this
cleclaration I said to Mr R. that 1 would
see‘ «.-e of the people again,” and give him
a final .nswer the next day whether he
wnutd allow his name to be given up with
out conditions or not. We then parted, to
mem at 12 o’clock yesterday; when I in-
fnnhed him that I was authorised to give j hit. sir name when you wish to learn the
turn the name of- one of the people,” forth- P rono «i«n which is frequently and equivo-

f Ittrow toot bow long you have been in
fected with the Cacoeihts scribendi, but
you have been so severely scutched for the
present breaking out that you will probably
be effectually cured, and though a scar may
be left it will be a friendly one to admonish
yon against a disease of your own propaga
tion, and which if encouraged, Will certain
ly destrov you—Depend upon it, fijr, your
ambition has taken an unfortunate direction,
for caustic conception and literary dexteri
ty are not the characteristics of your intel
lectual energies J and however your present
fame may be stimulated by your feelings,
its acquisition is not within the grasp of
your faculties—You may astynish by te
merity and signalize yourself by imperti
nence, but io the end your vanity most be
taught its weakness, and your self-sufficien
cy its insignificance.
When I saw your name in the papers us
a satyrist, it was like the first sight of a fly'
in amber where curiosity becomes the par
amount .feeling, and the triviality of the in
sect is for i moment lost in the novelty of
his situation; surpriso was succeeded by the
very rational impression that some wag of
a compositor had been playing you a trick
for public amusement; for I could not, for
an instant, suppose, without suspecting the
efficiency of your intellectual balance, that
you had seriously strayed from the adver
tising columns—It appears however that I
have been mistaken and th <t you have vol
unta r ily entered the arena—flow you will
succeed in the dcgladiatiun is yet to be de
termined, but I apprehend that utileii you
vary the assault,nr strengthen your a mour
you will have to show the white feathers
notwithstanding the aid of your trusty
squire, and the ehcouragcment of your sym
pathetic abettors.
The truth or falsehood of your narrati' e
being immuerial to the object of this com
muuication which is directed 'o your first
msneeuvre,! 'hall not Unde-t*ke t investi
gate the vati "ty of voor declar tions-Like
a vender of pate * medicines yo i have prop
ped yourself with references, that the Pub
lic will not take the trouble to consult, but
which without competent certificates will
be Oonsidered inconclusive,'particularly
when your statement i* so much at variance
with the assertions of the day, notoiiously
proclaimed and quietly permitted. Impu -
tations against character should be met
their inception, when those who urged them
participated in a knowledge that in the
lapse <>f years and the vicissitudes of life
theybecome report.* hard to establish tho’
difn.-ult to discredit.
One of the principal actors of the drr-.ia
in rehersai is now no more, and it is to jus
tify his conduct anil vindicate his memory
from unmerited reflections that 1 bestow a
parsing remark on some of your inferences,
which though long deferred have perhap
been judiciously reserved.
Admitting the fact that you were ad
dressed by Capt.- Lawrence as you allege,
the question was not as preposterous as
you seem to suppose, and was from its lan
guage decisively declarative of his desire
to ascertain your Christian name, and not
as yoo appear to have imagined to hear
from you the repetition of that which he
had just pronounced.
It is a very common and correct mode cf
Interrogation to address a gentleman by
,»>d
\e ,.e the public to draw their own conclu
fljons. and to decide whether I refused to
gi' *' up the author or that "one of the peo
ple” has “shrunk from responsibility.”

fFor the Republican:!
TO TIMOTHY TUOMITTTON.
You have at IwAh ascertained that the
iWVt
Opinions of ‘ Ttr^Teople" are
di-regarded with mpunity, and have
throiii»h your folly attest obtained a lesson
that may more than compensate for the se
verity of the instruction.
' But however politic it may be as a pre
liminary to your defence to disclaim any
insult to jour judges, such an avowal must
be considered more the, offspring of ap*pre-
beisiun, or the oRcring of contrition, than
the 'tiggention of manly candour, since the
inclusion is inevitable, that you intended
either to reflect on “The People" for an ig
norant, or corrupt exercise of their rights,
tf* to admit your own deficiency, and no
person who comprehends the language, or
marks the vanity of your publication can
fit edit your sincerity, in the alternative
Which you have adopted.
Those who are acquainted with the gen
only part of a system of the day, which
extended beyond the amusement of your
self. and you r laughing companions; ft was
the offspring of a settled and practiced e-
vasion of the controul to which you were
subjected by the laws of the state in claim
ing your military service* as citizens of
the Republic—at that time it was a piece of
“fun” o burlesque the institutions of de
fence, and an agreeable exemption to avoid
not to be their exactions—It is the precept of your
school to deprecate the institutions of ihe cabin, fiom whence he was seut in
Georgia and discourse of them in a manner
that evinces your estrangement; but your
opinions are disregarded, because your
feelings cannot be respected.
Under the impulse of the general bos-
tility ascribed to you, you rallied your wit
for the onset o f the 29th inst. and no doubt
held in reserve the old subterfuge, but
whpn you found it could not be played off
as apiece of your "fun," your friends en
deavored to explain, (for it seems by an un
fortunate fatality), always necessary toen
lighten the corruscations of your genius.
They vow that you bad no evil intention
and that the allusion to tbetAldermen was
intended to be very limited, but either by
instruction, or difficulty of evasion, they
pass oo the Long-Boom implications, and
force of your satire Strip tinsm of pcrpufariW
then would your purpose be achieved with
out wounding others by the indistinctness
of your warfare, or of becoming yourself
the object of accumulated odium. There
were individuals in the meeting which you
have assailed whose claims to the respect
and attachment of this community are a*
elevated as you may fancy yours, and iu
finitely more successful, who in the relative
duties of society would not seek improve
ment from your instruction, and could ne
ver feel flattered by your approbation.
I have done with you sir, you are in
capable of arming my ablest energies, and
would scarcely have awakened even mo
mentary attention, but as the index of a
canting faetion, that are even ready to ar
raign the conduct of a community with
which they cannot identify themselves, and
who in all the waywardness of their politi
col misanthropy never forget their prejudi
cos, or improve their feelings

TO ELI AS REED.
The following Interrogatories are pro
pounder to you believingyou are fully coin
petent to afford answers. ‘
First. When you •* demanded” theau
tlior of one “ of the people” weie you not
informed, that hia name wan ready to be
given up, upon terms, and did you not dis
sent to said term*?
Second. By what motive were you ac
tuated in demanding the author, wan it not
to gratify au impertinent curiosity? Had
yoo.orfb/ve you any idea of naking him
indioidnally responsible to youf
Third* S-ate to the public, whether you
cannot ob'ain the name of the author at
any time, by complying with terms, calcula

ANOTHER OF THE PEOPLE
NORFOLK July 29,
The U. S. Sch’r Jack all, Lieut, fcom'd t
John H. Lee, last font Matanzas, 9 days
passage, came in the Capes on Tuesday
night at 8 o’clock, and anchored off Old
Point Comfort yesterday at 2 o’clock P. M.
bound up to Washington-City—Officers
and crew in excellent health, in which re
spect they have been so singularly favour
erl as not to have had a sick man on board
since she sailed from the United States.
The Jackall has been cruising in the
Gulph of Mexico for the last three months,
and has not heard uf any acts of piracy
committed on American vessels during
that period. She sailer! from Alvarado on
the 20th June, touched at Tampico, and ar
rived at Thompson’s Island on the I3th
inst At the time of her leaving Thomp
son’s Island, (15th inst.) it was perfectly
healthy, not s man being on the sick list.
Left no vessels of any description at the,
Island—Samuel Ayres, Esq. Collector of
the Revenue at that Station, came home
passenger in the Jackall.
The Jackall took convoy from Matanzaa,
and parted company with them the same
night. The Terrier, Lieut. Com. Paine.
was the only small vessel of the squadron
emainmgon the West-India station, which
was going in as the Jackall came, out of
Matanzas.
The U S. Ship John Mams, Captain
Dallas, sailed from Hava*.a on the 16th
inst. for Philadelphia—officers and crew all
well.
We do not learn any news relative to
Mexican affairs by this arrival.

NEW-YORK, JULY 26.
A great sensation exists iu this city in
consequence of the account we published
yesterday of the capture of the schooner
Mercator, bv pir fc i e ». The anxiety of the
friends of the Crew, is extreme, and it is
ascertained that upwards of fifty thousand
dollars was insured in this city ou the car
go,
EGYPT.—The musselmen find it very
difficulty with all their attachment to their
religion to comply with many ot its obli
gations. The Pacha of Egypt raises sugar
cane, for which the climate and soil ar fa
vorable, and if they will extract rum from
it, why he think* the Koran is not porticu-
larly violated. Ishmael Bey^the uncle of
the reigning Bey of Tunis, used to say to
me,* rnv friend; whenever you have a case
of that fine vinegar to spare (meaning cla
ret,) I will thank you for one, I’m so troub-
led oflafe with pains in my chest.’ Thia
turning wine iuto vinegar, is quite a natur-
a! process, but Ishmael never waited until
it bacame acid, and in this way he would

The Legislat ure of Mew York will, a-
greeably to the summons of the Governor,
commence Its extra Sessiou,at Albany, or
Monday next. This eventjappears ;o cr*.
ate great interest among the politicians <
the country, from the avowed ubjict of tl ■
Governor.in converting the Legislatures
the bsaring which it is supposed their pi -
ceedings will have on the all-absorbi'
question of the Presidential Election Vv
ourselves do not participate largely in
interest, from not being, perhaps, so stnr
ly impressed with its importance,and the.
fore we shall accompany this uotice of th.
fact, which is given merely as an article of
intelligence to our readers, with the single
remark—that this extraordinary convoca
tion of the Legielature of New York by the
Governor, for the reasons which he has as
signed for it, appears to us to be one of the
strangest public acts of which we have any
racollection. The Governor had, at the
last regular Session, recommended fo the
Legislature, the consideiation of an impor
tant subject, (the mode of electi|g the
Electors of President ot the U. States") and
the Legislature, after a very motu*e and
proti acted consideration of the matter,de
cided that they would inoke no change, but
let the mode of appointing Electors lemuTn
the same as it had done, without variation,
from the very origin of the government; and
the Legislatofe then adjourned. This de
cision wqp the more emphntir, as'it was
made in the face of a noisy excitement a-
gainst it, and in spite of great efforts to
produce an opposite result. The Governor
had then discharged his duty, and the Le
gislature had performed theirs,as conscien
tiously, no doubt, and with an i qual regard
for the public good. But the Governor, lint
satisfied, it seems, with this solemn decis
ion of the co uidinateaml equally respon
sible branch af the goverment, determines
to reassemble the Legislature, at great ex
pense to the State, and, at this season,
great inconvenience to the membersi lor the
purpose of ascertaining whether they were
meirnest in their adherence to the old
mode of elestion, or whether they had
changed, or would change, their opinions
on a question so deliberately decided by
them only three or four months before.

Mr. Crawford.—We seed thu
opinion some weeks ago, v •• gentle
man was preferred by a majority of 4hi
reaping and reflecting mep uf the count y,
as the successor of the present venerable
Chief of the nation. That opinion was not
lightly giren; we should hold it criminal to
hazard such a declaration without the
strongest conviction of its truth. Since that
opinion was expressed, we have closely
examined all the indications of publib sen
tiinent, which have come under our obser
vation during this season of the year,which
is most fruitful of Its expression, and we
can now say, with increased coufidance if
the sentiments expressed,individually and
collectively, during the fostivitiys of the
recent Anniversity, and by the public
prints, may be taken as indicative of the
popular will—that Win. H Crawford is
the choice of a decided majority of those
citizens who, by public service, or a grea
ter attention to public men unci public af
fairs, are best qualified to form a inst es
timate of public character and of fitness
for the exalted station of President of the
U. S. We say 'his without doubt or hesi
tation; yet without the remotest intention
ofdisparagiog the bigb^laims and acknowl
edged merits of the other distingui.hed
citizens who stand forth as candidates for
♦hat important trust, so worthy of the most
virtuuos ambition—ib.
We should like to know whether the
Postmaster General, in his miaVion to Al
bany, in behalf of Messrs. Calhoun and
Adams, has, like Edwards, received an
ou - fit and salary; and, if not, at whose cost
he travels. He went from \Vashington, we
understand, in a new patent government
coach, put in requisition for the occasion.

Capt. Singer, of the brig Columbia, arfi
ved at Philadelphia, says the Philadelpbid
Gazette, reports that the day previous to
« t sailing from St. Johns, there were five
rates brough over by land by a guard of
soldiers from Cubroho,a small port near the
west end of theelsland The Governor had
issued orders, tnat a launch well manned,
should be fitted out of each port in the Is
land immediately, to suppress Piracy, and
that every hut within a mile of the coast,
soouId be raized in less than eight days
from the date of his proclamation. The
Pirates taken and brought in are a part of
the gang that infested the south side of Ihe
Island and taken several vesrels, most of
the crews of which have been murdered.
From the strong circumstantial evidence
against them it was the general opinion
tnat they would undergo immediate execu
tion.
