~ Tuesday, Jiay 3, I *3l. 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 ii' adverse, and although every needful] • U-rcdl in by hij r.caust aad farms 1 TiiE MACON AI>VEIiTiGK, A All AGRIGULTUHAL, AND MERCANTILE INTELLIGENCER. 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.” ■ mi —. . - 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.
