We have be.’ n permitted by a friend, to makt > following extract of a letter from our fellow— izen, Maj. Joel Crawford. We do this the >re willingly, because although we feel assur tliatthe political opinions of Maj. Crawford j too well known to require exposition at this e day, yet we have seen the expression of a sire from several quarters which we highly sped, that his views upon the rights of the ate and Federal government should be placed lore the people ; and we think that the foi ling extract, brief as it is, is sufficiently ex cit and comprehensive to satisfy all such en iries. The rights of the State can never be iecure, in the keeping of such men as Joel iawford or George M. Trout—and we. ow that the faith of the one, is to all intents and purposes, that of the other. Sparta, July 26, 1533. Dear Sir :—Your favor of the 15th, has and my particular consideration, as all your nununications will have ; and but for your upposed) absence from home, would have on more promptly answered. My opinions on those constitutional relations lich subsist between the Federal government (1 the States, have never been concealed ; il 1 had supposed, were well known, at least the midland parts of Georgia. The Federal vernment was brought into existence by the institution ; was created for specific purpo s, comparatively few, but of the highest no inal importance. Restricted in its action to o sphere prescribed to it by the Constitution, i value to the American people collectively id individually has, and in all piobability will ntinuc to satisfy the highest expectations of use w hose wisdom planed it. On appropri e subjects, congressional legislation will con iup to advance the interests of the whole, ithout impunging’upon, orjcurtailing* those of iy latitude or section in this widely extended mfederacy. But it is quite impossible to do se a general code of municipal law, which ould satisfy the demands of one, without giv g annoyance to other States —and it was erefore most wisely ordained, that the sub cts of Federal jurisdiction shou.d be few, and ose chiefly of a national character. I INo one at all acquainted with the history ot V Federal government and its several adniin ■trations, can doubt its tendency to transgress boundaries prescribed by the Constitution. Hhis is abundantly cxemplafied in the char- the United States Bank, the Alien and Laws, and bv no means the least enor ■ous, the Tariffs of 1816, ’24 and ’2S.— ■■gainst the mischiefs of such assumptions of *>wr, I know that politicians may be found, ho maintain that adequate guaids are to be EBund in the intelligence, justice and energy of Be Supreme Court. But the Supreme Court ■ part and parcel of the same Government, and generally, if not always take sides with the ■ministrations, be it Federal Republican, or not. The Judiciary is by far the most ■rcsponsibiti department of Government- —is Bore than any other alienated from all concern iB sympathy with popular or State Rights, and Bis thus far, in our political history, given very IB"’ or no manifestations of temperance or self IBnial in the exercise of official power. - ■ The people Sir, of the several States, are (■’ proper guardians of their own Constitutions, and Federal. By the people, and for Bcir exclusiveness, they were all made and |lis only by their vigilance and decision that ■Bey can be preserved—their modes and means S' action, when aggressions are to be repelled ■ usurpations subdued, are matters of discre- Bonary choice with themselves ; for no other Bathority under Heaven has a right to prescribe dictate—and at no timo of mv life, have I the necessity for a stronger and sterner Band in favor of State Rights.

Escape and Re-capture of Joel Clough the .Murderer. —Clough, the murderer of Mrs. Hamilton, sentenced to be hung on Friday next made his escape from the Mount Holly (N. J ) jail, between Saturday and Sunday morning.— The particulars, as we have ascertained them from a member of the Sherill’s family, are sub stantially as follows. Upon the discovery- of Clough’s previous attempt to escape, he was removed to a dungeon, where he remained un til a few days ago. Several persons who visi ted him complained that this dungeon was an unfit place for a man to remain it who had but a few days to live, and the Sheriff, willing to act as humanely as the law would allow, offered to remove Clough to a large room, provided he would consent to be chained To this Clough readily consented, and he was accordingly pla ced in a room* ift the third story, overlooking Clough had been permitted to have a candle in his room, in order to enable hi n to write in the evening. This candle, on ‘ nturday night previous to being visited by the Sheriff, he pla ced in the chimney, and arranged his blanket before it, in such a way as to hide all the beams of the light. An iron spoon which he probaoly found in the room, and which was not known to he in his possession, he had converted mm a saw, with which he released himself from his chains. Having these matters all arranged when the Sheriff retired, Clough took his can dle, and burnt away a portion of awiMlows.il, an ordinary wooden frame—by which he tore away the grate making an opening of six in ches by ten, through which he.cscaped. a short time before day break. His safe descent to the yard, was etlected by means of his blanket, which he had torn into slips, and converted into a rope. When in the yard, he procured two boards, used by the Sher iff to cover celery beds, and by making a kind of bridge, he was enabled to scale the high wall. His escape was discovered soon after day light, and the jail bell being immediately rung, a large number ol citizens, amounting perhaps to five hundred in all assembled, and started in pursuit. Every barn and building in the neighborhood was searched, and the country for miles round scoured until evening, with out success. The precaution was taken to guard all the outlets in every direction from the town so as to render his capture, sooner or la ter, certain, Clough was first seen by a coloured man, in a swamp, on the Rancocas river about three miles west of Mount Holly. And as the fugi tive gave an unsatisfactory answer to the negro, he sounded the alarm. The individuals who arrived lirst, were Joel Hollingshead, and John* Millvine the latter a resident of Mount Holly, and well acquainted with Clough. The pris oner denied his name, said he was going to Philadelphia, but allowed himself to be arres ted, without offering resistance, though he had an uxe in his possession. He had on the same dress that he wore in the prison. On the day previous to his escape, Clough had purchased a pound of crackers. These were found in his possession when arrested.— It appears he had secured himself in the swamp during the whole day, and when taken he was about pursuing his journey by night. He ap peared to he inu It laiigued with his exertions. In the early part of yesterday, he was traced in the vicinity of the spot where he was after wards found. He wore square toed pumps, and the course he took from the jail, was plain ly observable in several corn fields adjoining the town. From several circumstances connected with Clough’s escape, the supposition that he was aided by confederates, is rendered probable. Inquirers are now on foot, to sift this matter to the- bottom.— Philadelphia Gazette. MAJOR JOEL CRAWFORD. The strong advoc ate for State Rights—the honest Politician—the Soldier, and the Gen tleman—the poor man’s companion—the much admired by all, arrived in our town last evening from Athens. We hope our citizens will call on him, and interrogate him upon his piin— ciples, until they are all satisfied in relation to fitness and competency, to discharge the duties, and high responsibilities to which he now as pires. Death of Gen; Coffee. —We regret to learn by means of letters received from Florence, that Gen. John Coffee died at his residence ; near that place on Sunday last.

Gaz. Singular Circumstance. —The decoration of the Legion of Honor has lecently been bes towed upon an old Artillery man, at a grand review of the National Guards at Nantes.— The singularity, however, is in this : he is the very person who pointed the cannon, at the battle of Dresden, which carried away the legs of General Moreau, and caused H. death 1 Brotherly Love. —Don Miguel lately visited his army before Oporto, and ut one time, in ri ding along the lines, was visible to his dear brother, Don Pedro-the two worthies, accounts state, simultaneously cocked their respective telescopes to their eyes and viewed each other, “ like two strange cats in a garret.” On Pe dro’s putting down his glass, he remarked to Sir John Milfey I)oyle—“ I see no alteration in the scamp and we have heard from Head Quarters that, by “ a curious coincidence,” so closely did their” Iraternal knowledge and fee lings assimilate, that Miguel, on finishing his examination of his brother’s mug, exclaimed, “ lie has the same scheming vagabond coun tenance he always had .’’—English paper.
