TIIK nc SIG SAT ION- 3.
The correspondence betwe en the President and
Air. Secretary Ingham is before our readers. It
is true that he did resign at the request of the Pre
s'-dent. But what of that! Under the peculiar
circumstances cf the case, it implies nothing to
his disparagement. It neither shows delinquency}
m the part of Mr. Ingham, nor dissatisfaction on
the part of the Chief Magistrate. It was merely
a difference of opinion arising from the miscon
ceptions of Mr. 1., and from the etiquette he deem
ed it necessary to pursue. Instead of proving the
existence of any unfriendly, cr even unpleasant
feelings, the retirement of the Hon. Treasurer,
like that of tire Secretaries of State and \\ ar, es
tablishes the fact more-strongly, il' possible, ol
the noble sacrifice which they have made for the
public good. .
KimUCTION.
The last Legislature put aside the voice of the
people of Georgia, by disregarding their expressed
wishes for a reduction in the number of represen
tatives composing that body. V\ e have not time
now, to give the subject the consideration which
it merits. But we will do it anon. For the pre
sent we content ourself with placing before our
readers, the marked disapprobation which the
Grand Juries of two of our most intelligent coun
ties have already expressed, in noticing this fla
grant instance of legislative delinquency.
‘ The Grand Jury of Gwinnett County, at the
sittings of the last Superior Court, says:
“\Ve present as a public grievance, the
failure of the last legislature for not carrying
into efleet the express will of the people rel
ative to the reduction of the members of tne
Legislature.”
The same opinion is re-echoed by the Grand
Jury cf Hancock County, at their last April term;
but in a more particular and energetic manner.
They say:
“There is one subject of a general nature,
that this body feels a disposition to express
an opinion Upon. It is on the unequal and
burthensome representation in our State
Legislature. It is known to us, that in ac
cordance with a resolution of the preceding
Legislature, we were called upon,, at the last
General Election for an expression of the pub
lic will on this subject, and it is equally
known to us that “Reduction” received a ve
ry large majority of votes over “No Reduc
tion.” We therefore deem it a privilege, and
feel it a duty to publicly remonstrate against
the conduct of a part of the last Legislature
in their utter contempt of the public will.—
We are loth to believe that men, and men
who claim to be people’s men, should pre
fer such a medley ns is to be seen in the halls
of the State house every year, to a reasonable
and just representation of the people; we al
most fear that their course must be predica
ted upon motives other than honorable.—
Without going into arguments upon the sub
ject, we recommend that our Senator and
Representatives in the next Legislative use
their best endeavors to bring the subject a
gain before the House, and if a constitution
al majority cannot be had for Reduction, we
then recommend a Convention, which seems
to us to be the only means that can be adopt
ed to bring dishonest and partisan politicians
to a sense of that obligation due frofn a rep
resentative to a constituent.
MR. RANDOLPH.
•Some of our cotemporaries say, that u is the
expressed intention of Mr. Randolph, upon his
return from the Court of St. Petersburg’, to oppose
the Administration of General Jackson, and cs
pou.se the cause of Mr. Calhoun. Yve view this
statement as one of those little subterfuges which
a weak and desponding party too ofteft resort to,
lor the purpogy of operating upon temporising
partisans, and prolonging, by the momentary im
pression which it may make, it3 own ncketty
existence.
e rest not upon the authority of private let
ters, neither do we aspire to authentic intelli
gence whispered in fashionable political circles —
vet, we think we can safely say, that Andrew
Jackson will not find a political adversary in the
person ol John Randolph, of Roanoke.
Mr. Randolph may he eccentric in his personal
manners....he may be eccentric in hie gastronom
'cal partialities....lie may he eccentric in the cock
<1 his hat, in the details of his toilet, and all that
i ind of thing....but if we do not most egregious!}'
mistake the man, he v> ill not be found eccentric in
principles. Y\ ere we to hazard an assertion on
the subject, we would say,—if Mr. Randolph’s
■ piaion of Gen. Jackson bas undergone a change it
Las been a change fuT the better....a change which
v. ill draw more closely together the cords of a re
ciprocal, attachment.
GIBBS-— THE PIRATE.
Thru u-as a laughing devil in his sneer ,
i < at rais'd emotions both of rage and fear,-
•Ind u-here his froum of hatred darkly JU,
dope withering fled, and Mercy sigh'd farewell'
the partial confessions of this Buccaneer,
v We publish today, only want the aid of a
• oet ‘ c imagination to present them to the mind in
, llltJ horrible fascination of Bvron’s “Corsair."
1 tom the outline of the agitated and bloody life of
■mbs, it would seem, that like Conrad, he Was
R urp (l (,ij the world in Disappointment's school,"
•-ml that a series of mischances, working upon the
1 n Sens 'hility, or irritable temperament of his
1 ature > had “changed his soul,” and
jt- . ' “driven
1 Jorth to tear with mun, and forfeit heaven."
' u ppears from his confession, and other corro
-1 ’ miive circumstances, that he is of reputable do
c,lb and had enjoyed the advantages of a liberal
ueatiijn. In the last war, which so signally
‘•n.tißgnishcU our gallant little Navy, and tore
• ’in the grasp of old Albion the trident of Nep
ur, acted, il not a conspicuous, at least a
J " and patriotic part. After, or towards the
1 "1 the contest, he retired from the service of
ountry, and became engaged in the industri
al arsnits ot an active citizen. But his for

relative, he refused to accept it, and madly rushed
i;.i > the vortex of crime.
Ih lore Gibbs began his illicit trade in blood, he
had become a Misanthrope. We see that his ser
vices in tne Navy, il not unnoticed, did not pro
bably, receive the attention they merited, and that
he then retired to prival life, and embarked in an
honest calling, mortified no doubt, if not indig
nant, that the sacrifices which he had made were
not, in his estimation, property appreciated. We
see too, that his little enterprize in Iradc also failed
him, and that he was .thrown upon the world,
destitute and stung by the pangs of repeated dis
appointments. These accumulated sufferings were
too great lor the moral strength of his character to
sustain, and imputing them rather to a general li
centiousness in mankind, than to the force of cir
cumstances or to an untoward combination of
events, ho “hoists the black flag, and declares
war against all nations”!
Sueh impulses to action, as would seem to have
governed the conduct of Gibbs, will be regarded
by 'be ethical philosopher as arisinrr cither from a
morbid sensibility, a false and fastidious notion of
independency, or from a strong and unconquera
ble tendency to moral depravity. It is not for us,
however, to analyze the secret springs of the hu
man heart....and our own frailties should admon
ish us, to bo careful in assigning other than chari
table motives to the conduct of our fellow beings.
These are some of the impressions which the con
fessions of the Pirate left upon our mind.
But there is yet a circumstance of peculiar in
terest which we have not notieed, and which de
mands serious attention. Luring his confession,
Gibbs was asked by Justice Hopson, “Why wore
you so cruel as to kill so many persons, when you
had got all their money, which was all you want
ed!” “The laws, (replied Gibbs,) are the cause
of so many murders.” “How, (exclaimed the
astonished Judge,) how can that be? What do
you mean!” “Because, (continued Gibbs,) a
man has to suffer death for piracy; and the pun
ishment for murder is no more. Then you know,
alt wii. iesses are out of the way —and I am sure if
the punishment was different, there would not be
so many murders”!
There was more philosophy than humanity in
this explanation of the blood-stained Pirate; and
it presents ample room for the serious reflection
ol the Jurist, on the graduation of capital punish
ments. Except in cases of “blood for blood,” it
seems to us to be a practical demonstration, not
only of the insufficiency of those sanguinary laws
which consign a. man to death, but also of their
horrid tendency to hold out the strongest induce
mi nis to the commission of aggravated crimes.
COW CABBAGE.
In the last Camden (S. C.) Journal, Mr. P.
Thornton offers for sale a few hundred plants of
this valuable vegetable. lie thus describes it:
“This is anew plant lately received from
Europe, Where it will stand out all winter ; it
grows from foArtoten feet high, and will 1 vst
four tfears. It vviii need some protection in
this climate, during the winter season. A
plailt was raised last summer by a farmer in
Plymouth, Mass, and taken up and put in the
cellar during winter, where the vegetation was
not checked; and in April, this spring, was.
planted out, and lias flourished luxuriantly,
throwing out new sprouts in great abundance,
which have been cut several times—one of
them is now six feet high. The plant ap
pears to be endowed with surprising prolific
power, and from the experiment just mention
ed, our farmers have ample encouragement
to cultivate it. Cows fed on this plant give a
greater quantity of milk and the butter is of
a rich flavor. It requires to be set four feet
apart, and sixty plants, will keep a cow the
year round. The mode of using it for ca'tle
is by plucking off the leaves wanted, when
a regular succession takes place.”

For the HZacati Advertiser*
UNCLE SAM.
Nations, like men, delight in distinction.
To show' forth their capacities, and to elicit
the attention, whether by enterprize or od
dity, seems to influence both, and often be
comes inseparable from their characters. The
desire of being known as the promoter of
some principle, whether of usefulness or plea
sure, has frequently the effect of fixing a
name upon both men and countries, which
their sober reflection would condemn as ludi
crous and sarcastic. In this way epithets are
often applied in a loose and jesting manner,
which, by constant repetition, settle down in
to acknowledged titles. The man of plea
sure,'for instance* will delight in flic telling
of a story which relates something of his per
sonal gallantry, even if Iris friends titter at the
awkwardness of his situation, and a nick
name applied in consequence of a singular
predicament, becomes an ambitious title* if
it tends to show off a fortunate or praisewor
thy effort. Tiiis principle has been so close
ly followed by men of every age and coun
try, that not content with fixing a peculiarity
upon themselves, they have established one
for their Nation; and any circumstance or ti
tle which records a happy achievement or
lucky ad vent mo, tho’ even satirical and lu
dicrous, has at once been stamped as a na
tional characteristic; and sent info the world
with genuine currency- This is finely illus
trated in the American Citizen. The con
■trast between the former depression of his
country, and her present enviable situation,
is continually present to his mind, anti has
! given birth to an imaginary being, whom he
terms fire Genius of his Country, and who
stands as a proud monument both of herpres
ent fame, and as a triumphant memento of the
difficulties and dangers of the past.
A continued desire of rendering this per
sonage as essential as possible to the charac
ter of the country, has arrayed him in a goodly
blue uniform, with lmff facings, yellow waist
coat and breeches, and a three cornered cock
ed hat. Dressed out after this peculiar fash
ion, tlie jolly Uncle Sam bustles from one end
to the other of the American Continent, as
happy and contented as a I-otidon Alderman
in the full prospectus of a dish of turtle. —
Regarding himself as Superior of a wide do
main, the happiness of which should increase
with his own, and be in no way separable
irom it, he is constantly prying into every
corner of his dominion to notice that matters
go rightly on ; and at one moment may be
found settling' claims on the banks of the Mis
sissippi, and the next paying pensions on the
shores or Canada. His household presents
an odd mixture of authority and favor; a kind
of half-way between affection and mastership;
and though his followers arc said to be the
worst spoiled of any in the world, still to Un
cle Sam, they are the most affectionate ser
vants extant. Being most of them bred up
with him from infancy, they have imbibed
many whims and caprices, and regard them
selves as members, rather than retainers in
the service—as joint tenants, rather than la
borers tor the household. This, of course,
has rendered-them somewhat indifferent to
every thing which is foreign to Uncle Sam’s
discipline; and strange ideas of freedom have
so fuddled their brains, that the slightest
word from a stranger will cause them to jostle
up, and talk like Stentors of their own im
portant privileges, and of their master’s fre
quent allowances. This sometimes tuns'so
high, that Uncle Sam himself, has been made
to back out ;and once, in particular,had come
near a ducking, by his gardener’s flying in
his face for taking a small strip from his cot
ton patch, and giving it to a flax grotver to
make experiments on. Notwithstanding ail
this, however, they are warmly attached to
tfic old gentleman, and will upon any foreign
outrage, forget their bickerings, muster a
round him, and 6tand in his defence to the
last moment.
In personal appearance Uncle Sam is a bluff
healthy looking gentleman, and seems to car
ry his age well—for though born in Seecnty
six, lie bears a fine ruddy complexion, and
quite an athletic person. A disposition, na
turally humane and eccentric, has rendered
him the favorite of all his acquaintance, w ho
affirm that he is the"purest sample of good
feeling and gentlemanly deportment, as yet
produced by any nation. Although his house
hold is tolerably well conducted, considering
his age, yet Uncle Sam is continually investi
gating every thing about him, with the air of
a man who has made a fortune by hard knocks
and is always looking into it, as if to admire
its excellence. It is thus, by repeatedly ga
zing at the good things around him, that Un
cle Sam is gradually acquiring some portion
of that feeling with which a miser surveys his
treasure, swaggering at its greatness, and un
consciously arguing himself into the belief
that there is none superior in the known world!
It is greatly Uncle Sam’s delight to point out
the conveniences and comforts of his well
stocked household, and with an air Of exulta
tion to rehearse the often told story of its cre
ation. “ lie has no distinction,” he says, “in
his management, and authority smacks too
much of a King for his use.” He detests ev
ery thing like servitude: and makes his do
mestics share every privilege that he himself
possesses. This kind feeling has entailed
many hangers-on upon his establishment—
and there is always attendant at his table, a
jolly set of grey headed followers, who share
his best,from one year’s end to another. With
these Uncle Sam loves to carouse, and upon
such occasions become as companionable as
If they were his sworn brothers. He will talk
greatly of how Tom Such a one saved his life
at th battle of Cowpen”, and how well Dick
Fighihard behaved at the siege of York
Town. He is often too, observed to smile
at an officer-looking man whom he has lately
•• an I talk of his threshing
a notorious f flow, in his defence, eali’d Pack
cnha;\i At these times Uncle Sam is obser
ve! to become greatly excited—for taking
ofl’his three cornered Cocked hat, which he
says is the gift of his illustrious friend George
Washington, and brushing up his white locks
to show the scars on his forehead, he will de
clare he owns the best land, and possesses
the finest associates that tho world has ever
given birth to !!!
In this way of praising his friends, and ad
ministering to the comfort and pleasure of all
around him, Uncle Sam passes the greater
part of his days; and if at any time the eccen
tricities of his character become evident,they
are so blended with good humor as to appear
invari-.bly pleasing and benevolent. Al
though greatly inclined to peace, and no brag
gart, Uncle Sam bears a tine spirit, and has
evidently seen some service. Upon certain
occurrences too, lie is apt to lose a little of his
equable temper, and talk cf “ deeds of arms
and warlike preparation.” He is peculiarly
one of those who \\ ill give his life for a friend
but in the Why of bargain will “cavil on tiie
ninth part of a hair.” Upon the slightest at
tempt at outrage he will shoulder his cane,
and act as many manoeuvres as a half pay Co
lonel erf Infantry. Assuming quite a martial
struts, and bustling up into the face of liis an
tagonists, he begs them to remember that he
Was born on July Fourth, Seventy Six," and
seldom gives a foot ofgrotmd ’till his just ends
are accomplished. When these are attained,
he becomes the best friend imaginable ; and
after a round battle, will extend his hand
to his rival in that kind of affectionate man
ner which characterizes the chivalrous and
brave. Upon the whole, Uncle Sam is one
of those odd, sincere old fellows, who manage
every thing by system ; who is fond of pursu
ing the good order of the Old School, and
who regards every thing like innovation with
singular dismay—One who will cudgel his
best friend in a righteous quarrel, but who
will embrace his veriest enemy in whom is
extant the smallest principle of virtue or ex
cellence. Will lloMiYcovrm:.

COTTON.
We continue our quotation of last week, 5 a 8.
The stock of Cotton in the ware-houses on the
Ist May, was 8,821 Bales. The receipt for the
whole season to that date was 55,639 Bales, being
an excess of 5,209 Bales over last season to the
same time. It still continues to come in, and we
may reasonably calculate on at least 2,000 more
Bales to be received this season.
Our river for this season of the year, is very
low, and unless we soon have rain there must of
necessity he a large quantity remaining over, tho
next season.

Ll\ ERPOOL. March 28.—We arc without
any late arrivals from the United States, owing to
easterly winds. Our Cotton market Is without
alteration ; the sales of the present week 15,960
bales, including 3880 Orleans at 5} to 71; 1730
Alabama at 5J to 6j; 5100 Uplands, at s|d to 61.
2000 bales Uplands are advertised to be sold at
auction on the 31st, the principal part of which
arc a cargo lately arrived from Charleston. Many
holders-are not offering their Cotton quite so free
ly this week, as they did the last. The consump
tion continues on a great scale, and though the ex
port of Twist is very much checked owing to the
warlike posture of affairs on the Continent: there
is an unusual demand for manufactured goods,
The low price of silk goods, the improved qual
ity of Egyptian Cottons, and the improved state
of our machinery, enabling us to produce a finer
article from a raw material of interior quality, all
operate against line Cottons, and must do so per
manently.

before them, and deposites to an immense
amount have been placed at the disposal tff
the Bank of the United States, subject to
their drafts. There was much speculation as
to the amount. The principal London bank

England to this country, to the confidence in
the U. S. Bank, which he says is now certain
ly greater than in the Bank of England.

RUMOUR OF WAR!
Latest from the Continent. —The brig
Franklin, Stephen 11. Howland master ar
rived at New Bedford, on the 19th inst. hav
ing left Flushing the 35th of March. Capt.
11. reports that France has joined the Belgi
ans against the King of Holland, and the
French General had been at Brussels to take
command pfthe United Armies. An order
had reached Flushing to put in immediate
readiness the whole Dutch navy. It was ru
mored, and believed, that Austria had decla
red war against Ertnce • Capt. Howland
brought no papers.
[Capt. 11. is said to be a very intelligent
gentleman, and no doubt gives us what was
believed to be true at the moment of his sail
ing. Our Paris dates, it will bo recollected,
are of the 21th and London of the 20th ult.
hut we have nothing so late from Holland as?
the 25th—sb that if Austria had determined
to wage war with Franco, arid the Dutch to
equip their whole, navy, there is nothing in
our previous accounts to render the report of
Captain Howland improbable.]

ropean power. The writer expresses his sin
cere desire for peace, in widely his own per
sonal interests, as well as those of his country,
arc deeply interested; but acknowledges him
self compelled, by the aspect of things, both
iu France and elsewhere on the Continent,
to anticipate a general continental war, and
tumults and rebellion, if not revolution, in
France.” *
The correspondent of the London Morning
Post, writes from Paris under date of Feb. 9,'
as follows:
“Gen. Bernard, tho celebrated, engineer
officer, is just, arrived from the U, States,
where he has been resident since the abdication
of Napolean one of whose favorite officers b/e
was. It is supposed by some that he was Sent
for by this Government; his talent.-’ being
deemed indispensable for the extension and
repair of the fort ifications of tho frontier for
tresses; and not improbably with a view to
active service in case of a'war.
Dancing is a tn=t salutary exercise. By
its mechanical effects on the body, it inspires
the mind with cheerfulness. The music
which accompanies it has effect on the body
as woll as upon the mind. It is. addressed
through the avenue of the bruin, the common
centre of life and motion, whence its oscil
lations are communicated toevtey part of the
system, imparting to each that equal and
uniform vigor and action upon which the
healthy state of all the functions depends.— ,
By the power of music,many remarkable cures,
particularly those of diiwden which are much >
connected with the nervous system, arc |
known to have been performed. ’
Dancing should not bo used more than
once or twice a month; nor should it cvt>
be contiuued until weariness edmes on; an
dancers should be particularly cautious to W
void taking cold, of which there is much dan- i
ger if they encounter the cold air too scon at- ;
tet their exercise.— Journal of Health.
