We close this brief notice with a whimsic

ing a full and true account ot the discovery of
a famous traveller, wiio was, all the world
knows, set ashore or threatened to be set
ashore from a steamboat on the Mississippi,
for intruding against rules into the “Ladies’
Cabin.”

upon the roof of the boat, to enjoy the scene
before him, a I was now casting a glance of

er he turned to tiie pa -, the i resent, or the
future, were equally fraught v.i g unqualified
bitterness. Gradually, however, his attention
w:h arrested by the tollowing extraordinary
tab .
“Well then, captain, if he won’t sing, sup
pose yon tel! us another story,” quoth Cherub
Spooney.
“Ah ! do now, Captain; tell us the story of
the strange cret uryou picked up going down
lie river,” said another.
“All! now do, Mussa Cuppin Sam,” quoth
biackey.
“Well, I’ll toll you lioiv it was. Wc had
hauled in the broad horn close ashore to wood,
wind was upstream, so we could’nt tnak.
much head way any now. 11:1! told tiie nig

“ Flint story’s as long as t io Mississippi,”
said one.
“Shut (ran, and sing dumb, or I’ll throw
you into the drink,”exclaimed Spoonev.
! “M hy, 1 heard that story before.”
: “Well supposing you did, 1 didn’t; go on,
[ captain.”
“WoiJ, as I was saving, Spoon, the nig

“l link he might call urn gcminan of chol

“The nigger went to cook some bear while
war were wooding, so tout we might have
some somethin to go upon. When we came
back, what kind of a varmuit do you think uv
started in the canebreak ?”
“l reckon an aligator,” saui biackey.
“Hold your tongue, you beauty, or you
- smell brimstone through a nail hole ”
cried Spooney; “go ahead, go ahead, cap

“Well, as I was saying, wc started the
drollest varmint perhaps you ever did see.. —
Its face was covered with hair, like a bull
buffalo, all but a little place for his eyes to
s-'e through. It looked mighty skeery, as
though it thought itself a gone sucker, and
calculat'd wo were going to eat it before we
killed it; but we carried it aboard the broad
horn, and took compassion 0:1 the poor thing.

“That's actionable in New Orleans.”
‘IIa! ha ! whoop! wake snakes—go ah. ad,
go ahead, and don’t be so rantankcrous,”
shouted the audience.
“I swear, if he once gets my tail up, he’ll
find I’m from the forks of Roaring Jiivvr, and
a bit of a screamer,” said Captain Hugg.
“Well, goahead—go ahead—tell us about

“Yough ! yough ! yough!” ejaculated ldack

laughs.
“No laughing in the ranks there—throw

( ■ the Political &UUe of Agriculture,
BY JOHN TAYLOR.
Protecting unties to enrich manufacturers,!

save souls, or feudal lords to defend nations, j
England has demonstrated the character of.
each member ot this kindred q.rartuinvirate.!
Protected by feudal lords, it was conquered)
| by almost every invader; taught by bishops,]
j corruption, having been distilled through all I
inferior ranks, deposits its osserx c in itns rev- i
erend order of servility and selfishness; en !
| richcd by bankers, fanners flee from the cul
tivation of lands, which yield the highest no-]
minal returns to agricultural labour of any in ]
the world, until a surplus of bread is exclnn
ged for a deficiency ; and fed with the end
less bounties ot piotecting duties, one sixtii
ot the labouring manufacturers, constantly oc
cupy prisons or poor houses, whilst the rest

wages.

Monarchies arnl ari:.‘oeracios, being found

law, cun only subsist by frauds and decep

mi Mi distributions are intended for its benefit;
out in genume republics, founded on the
principle ot leaving wealth to be distributed
by merit and industry, these treacheries of
government are treasons against nations.
i'liey substitute the pri .eiple w hien ennsti
[ bites an aristocracy, for the principle which
constitutes a true republic; strike with a fatal
iguora ce, cr a sordid malignity, at the heart
of the political system , and < fi-ct a frum••-

My fellow labourers, mechanical or agri
cultural, let us never bo del4 leu into an opin

U e are tiie least successful courtiers of any

i r.'iments and legislates. Compare the pro
bability ot its taking weallli from itself to
give it to tiie majority, with that of its de-
Irauding tiie majority to enrich itself and its
purezans ; and you will account for the reg-'
iilsr current of cxpeiiencc. Consider, ho v
ovir splendidly a minority may live upon the]
labours ot a majority, that a majority catlno
subsist upon those of a minority, and you will j
see tieit it is impossible foi experience in fu-.
tui'.i to t ach a different lesson. ■
Eel ns not. flattei ourselvi s, that ! :\vs can
he made to cm dole majorities to plunder tliesc
minorities, or to plunder themselves: cr to
fatten a man by feeding him with slices cut
Irotn h:sown body. !i a scheme could be!
contrived in favor of agriculture, similar to;
tiie protecting duty scheme in favor of manu
facturers, it would enslave the farmers us it
dots manufacturers. Tin ■.most favor which
it. is possible for a gjv.rum-jnt to do for us
• armors and mechanics, is neitln r to help not
hun u=. ihe first it cannot do; for whom
can laws strip or famish, to clothe or feed the
vast majority we compose ? Aware that fraud :
or oppression cannot permanently subsist, ex-{
cept by feeding ou major ties, those who com-!
pose tiieso majorities, it they aje wise, never j
fail to s'-etiiat their intc rest points to a repub
lican form of government, for the verv pur-]
pose of preventing the passage of laws fori
quartering ot pasturing o.i them minor i de-j
rests. These majorities nr the pasture up-,
on which all minor factitious interest.*, now-1
ever denominated, fatten ; and it would !•• an!
unnatural foe majorities to fatten upon such j
legal minor interests, as lor pastures to cati
the herds grazing on them.
I ho interest of labour covers every nation- ]
al majority, and every legal bounty is paid by i
labor. This interest cannot receive, iegai ;
bounties, because there cannot exist a treu-j
sury for their payment, The utmost tioon;
with which government cm endow it, is tie J
enjoyment of that portion ol its own earning,!
winch the public good c.a impure. Whcuov-1
er bounties are pretended k be bestowed onj
lanor, by privileges to ienduj barons to de-j
fend it, to bishops to save it, or to capitalists:
or bankers to enrich it, to bishops an |
anstocraticai order is Unavoidably erected to I
pilfer and enslave it; because though majo
rities cannot be enriched or ennobled by j
bounties or piivilcges, minorities can; and
these bounties or privileges must of' course
settle, not against, but conformably with the
laws of nature, both moral and physical.
I he farce of legal favor or encouragement,
has been so dexterously acted in England, to
delude both the agricultural and mechanical
interest, the interest ol labor, or the majority j
ot tbe nation, as to have delivered this majo-!
rit v, shackled by protecting duties, bounties j
and prohibitions, into the bands of an incon-i
si-leriibh monied aristocracy, or combination!
ol capitalists. Into this net, woven of intri
cate frauds and ideal credit, the majority of
the nation, the interest of labor, the agricul
t i ists and mechanics have run, afti r the baits
held out by protecting dir. es, bounties and
j prohibitions. From its and mis of wealth it is
j awakened under the fetters of a monied aris-
I tocracy, anil unfortunate as I'romethcu*, it is
j destined to eternal anil bitter toil to feed this
political liarpv, and to stifler excruciating an
j guisli from its insatiable voraciousness.
Sometimes this net lias been baited to catch
i mechanics, at others to catch agriculturists,
and perhaps it is but just, that these real
brethren interests should fatten the alien
tribe of stock-jobbers, as a punishment for
manifesting a disposition to devour each
other.
We farmers and mechanics have been no
litical slaves in all countries, because wo are
political fools. We know how to convert a
wilderness into a paradise, arid a forest into
palaces and elegant furniture, but we have
been taught by those whose object is to mo
nopolize the sweets of life, which we sweat
-for. that polities are without our province,
and in us . ridiculous aftWcnuiou; for the pm-!
pose of cciverting our ignorance into the
screen of cgular advances, which arnfieia!
interests mlegal factions, are forever making j
in strait or zigzag lines, against t!io citadel
of our rigiis and liberties. Sometimes after'!
one of thes: marauding families have piling- <• j
for a thousand years, we detect the client,
rise in themajesty ofour strength, uiive away
the thief,mdsink again intoa lethargy ofi.'i
tcllect sogross, as to receive him u x da_v
in anewuoat, as an accomplished and patri
otic stratger, come to cover as with benefits.
Thus wc got rid of tythes, and now we clasp
banks, patronage and protecting duties,to our
bosoms. Ten per centum upon labour was!
paid tod priesthood, forming a body of men j
which extended knowledge, and cultivate;; j
good morals, as some compensation for form J
mg also a legal faction, guided by the stunt 1
of encroachment upon the rights and proper
ty of the majority. Forty per centum is now
paid on our labor, to a legal faction guided
bv th-.- same spirit, and pretending to no reli
gion, to uo morality, to o patriotism, except
to the religion, morality and patriotism oi
making itself daily richer, which it says will
enrich the nation, just as tiie self-same fae
tiop has enriched England. The lega' fac
tion of taiista, created by protecting du
ties, bankers and contractors, far from being
satisfied with tiie tvthe claimed by the obi
la irarchy, will, in the case of the mechanics.
soon appVopriate tiie whole of their labour to
its use, beyond a bare subsistence; though in
the case of farmers, it lias yet only gotten a
bout four times as much of theirs, as was ex
torted by the odious, oppressive and fraudu
lent tvthe system. We know death very well
when killing w\h one svtke,but mistake him
for a deity, because he is killing with four.
THE COMET.
A gentleman of this city lias received from
the r.oith, a map representing the app:tr> at
| course of the Comet in the heavens, and the
j principal constellations and fixed stars that
! lie along its path. To this map is attached
t some explanations, from which, tor the grati
] ticatio;: of our readers, we have made the fol
i lowing interesting extract. The author of
! the map and explanations is Mr. E. li. Eurritt,
forme, iy of Miliedgevillp— Constitutionalist.
“ Hut another Come t, winch now engages
me most ager curiosity of the astronomers of
Europe, and wb.ie.ij, say the), “promises much

August, will be such as to bring it in a right

PROPHECY FULFILLED.
Extracts from a Speech in the Lcgish'vrc of

Hon. Rawlins Lowndes.
“Was it consonant with reason—with wis-'
dnm—with policy—to suppose that a Legis
lature where a majority of persons sat who*
interests were greatly different from ours, w
hiid the smallest chance of receiving adequate
advantages? Certainly not.
The interests cf tlie Northern -States would
so predominate, as to divest us of any preten
sions to the title of a Republic. *’ * *
W liv call this a reciprocal bargain, winch
took all from one party to bestow it on tlie
other? * * ** *• * *
Tlie advantages of this new Constitution
were small, in proportion to evils that might
be apprehended from the laws that might lie 1

From the It mur of t. . Constitution.
A Fable. —Every on-: is acquainted witi:
tiie fable of tiie boys who were found in tiie
app!e-tr. of an old man, stealing his apples.
The first step to which the old man r- sorted,
to bring tic plunderers down, was, to halloo
at them. The rogues did not mind him; they
thought!':- was too feebie to use force. He
next resort-.::' to remonstrance; he told them
how wrong it was, how unjust it was, to piun
d r otic c p m-i : property. They then laugh
ed it hun. i . that, soft words w
not d< , ■ thr -■ ' ' n; whereu; on,tit r
turn . op thert noses at him. He then ptfil
ed up some bunches of grass, and began to
pelt them, in the hopes that they wouldec-me
down without compelling him to resort to
harsher tneasur. s. They,then b gnu to abuse
'ma; - ~ finally, the old man, finding that
not ii.i:. w .i-iid do, but tiie ultima ratio, took
up ston s, and soon brought them to their
senses, at the hazard of having their heads oi
limbs broken.
Precisely in this manner have the South
ern States endeavored to get clear of the
rogues who have so long been plundering
tiieir property. They remonstrated with
Congress,they appealed to reason audjustice,
they threatened, they warned, they threw
grass, but all in vain. They arc now begin
ning to take up stones ; but, w hether th
will be as suscessful as the old man, remains
to be seen. Six months will determine it.

The Macon t elegraph at the coalmen -* -
merit oft lie present volume appears conside
rably enlarged, and in “ a now dress” as tli.
established phrase is. It is not only conside
rably enlarged in size, but it is decidedly im
proved in its tout ensemble.
In the article which announces this event
to the public, the editor says ;
“With respect to tn great subjects that now
agitate the country, we trust vve shall at wavs | (
iound on the side 01 Georgia. Against tho pin
ciph- of a protective Tariff, f until it ■mil tutor,u
t'tc interest ifotr Stale to foster M inef.:ctones of
her tr.ni.J we shall continue to prole* and op
pose such res.oiai.ee as we think Constitutional
and proper.”
We must beg leave most decidedly to dis
sent isoni that part of this extract which w*
have put. in italics. We oppose and intend
ever io oppose the protective sytem, not b -
cause we ourselves are not now manufactu
rers ; but because it is w rung in itself—it runs
counter to otic of those deep laid principles
that lie at the very foundation of civil liberty
of social,and of national prosperity, ami of in
ternational harmony and pence. Thu prin
ciple for which wc contend is equaliv a; pii
cubie to all governments, all times a.id to eve
ry people. Thodoc.rine as above laid do
a .opts the Northern doctrines, and goes in <-•
tect to justify tiie p opleot the north, tor ,t h
“become their interest to lost.-r many .-lo
ries,” ami therefor** they are now right i>- ad

himself by his own rule must he a tariff mat.
il he was to go to Massachusetts. The oppo
sition of tiie South to tiie protective system is
not to be merely because it happens now ;o
enable the Eastern States to tatt* n on the
spoils of tho South ; but because no portion of
the Union should be * named by statute <0
prey upon another* We do not wish to cat
our northern brethren, nor will we permit
them to rat us. The object for which vve con
tend, is, that industry should he unshackled ;
not because we cannot now be winners in the
game oi protection, hut because it is a game
that ought not to be played at all.
