{treat political parties which had exhibited
taejusslves in the Convention if self, manned
°‘f from each n her in an irreconcilable an
tagonism of political prtncip’es. The Feder

had an.mated the war of the Revolution—o

of all the attributes which the federal com
pact attached to if, in clear and positive term*,
and to iaferother power from every clause of
that compact which implied for is execution
a power not expressly gr ,rr ed. Tu-s party
dreaded the encroachinen ct 3'ate sover

latter had reserved to it.,';! . and questioned
the principle, that the paw-’ . t expressly
delegated by the States v- e reservo 1 to
them entire and incontesubty so ured. The
Republican party, which soon changed that
designation for that still more dear to the peo
ple, of the Democratic party, set out from the
idea that fliberty never s tads still —that,
like Christianitr, she is always militant—th <t
lier march ought to follow ex ictly that ot the
nin!, and her conquests to march on unceas
ingly in the train of the triumphs ol reason—
th it the more enlightened a nation be tomes,
the higher ought to be the am .unt of liberty i
of action measured out to it—that the federal j
compact itself, though always held in respect,’
ought not to be venerated as a work of per
feition; that its authors themselves were out
h ippy innovators, and that the successive ge i- 1
erauons that follow them ought goto change
the provisions of th s compact, as t > keep it j

tained that the Federal Government, hiving
but a limited scope of action, could not but
have received a power equally limited; that it
was a written co:t:rac ! , in which every thing
was meant to be granted was expressed, ami
in winch nothing could be changed, either
for extension or restriction, without the con
seat of the State-', the parties to the contract, j
Tuis par'y believe that it would be impru
dent to become united too suddenly to the
ancient mother country; that the deep remem- j
brance of the insults, the wrongs, the crime ; j
of England, in the great struggle of the Rev-’
olution, was a salutary seatirnen f , an l even j
necessary for the formation of a national j
spirit. It feared too precipitate a return to- |
ward the opinions of a nation whose language !
we spoke, whose literature was ours, who-e i
habits we had preserved, and whose preju !i- j
cos even, whose antipathies against other na- j
tio is, we, to a certain degree, preserved. |
They would wait, said the leaders of the de
mocracy, before ranking this nation among our
friends, that we too should have, not another
language, but a rival literature, an American
history, young in years, but soon—and the
event has justified the noble hope)—soon to
bee >ine old in glorious memories.
B l lween these two parties Washington
stood neutral. In tho opposing ranks he i
reckoned friends equally dear to him. But I

that as oreac a revolution will be produc ed on

MaA Robber Caught.—A young fellow
named John Sasseen, who had been for some
lime deputy pos-master a’ Morristown, in i
Jefferson county, Tennessee, on the Stage lme !
between KnoxvMe and Jonesborough, was |
arres ed a fortnight ago, on a charge oi steal- j
ing money from the n.a 1. she mai', it ap
pears was opened by S isseen, at Morristown, >
bo li going and returning, at night, and as the !
post office was in a small store building, he
had a line opportunity to feel for interesting let
ters —audit is understood that he has fre
quently thrown as da packages addressed to .
Knox ville and other pi ices, from the maii, for
morepardcular examination than ihe legal ,
IhiTfi for detaining the niaii allowe i hma.
The loss of several letters from the Bank's
in Knoxville to a gentleman in Jonesborou .h,;,
contaiaing nao.iey, induced the po-t master al
JouesbcTongh, Dr. Chester, to make a secret
but thoroutoi investigation in relation to these
thefts, wl.idi resulted in the complete detec
tion of young Sasscera. Dr. C. prepared a
cum ling decoy package for the rogue,and with j
a mail kev-in bis j>or.k".*, se! out to follow and
wa'icli the p icknge. He wan accompanied by
a merchant of Jonesboro ugh on tips secret
mission, and after passing each o.fli e on the
route, togs s her they examined the mail.
After'passing Sasreen’s office, the package
was found—not to be in the maii! Another
decoy letter was prepared at Knoxville tor the
| returning mail, and its similar disappearanca
j at Morristown fixed tiie crime lolly upon Sas- j
j seen. Ho is now in prison at Knoxville, a-1
| wailing his trial at the next sessfdn ot the ;

Bank of the United States hegiir.’ to exercise,

! nrs o New Oilcans, and the influence a
dnectorship gave, to those iviio enjoyed sucli
j appointments, in turning to individual advan
! lane the money placed at their disposal as ■
! directors, gave rise to the formation of cliques j
to obtain state charters for Banking In
stitutions, and by intriguing with the L“gis i
laiure. the guarentee of the state was procur
ed m the shape of Slate B mds, which were
sold abroad to raise capital.
The parties obtaining these charters, man
aged to keep a controllingporiionol the stock,
which they wouid'ptedge abroad or hypothe
cate to the bank, so as they could vote in
i their mvn direct irs, the interest ol the bank
hung with them no object, compared with
the ad vantages gained by having the com
maud of money with which they could l isten
themselves up >n the Planters, and secure a
’ controlling power over their crops, making
every species of exactions, under the names
|of interest, charges and commis ion.
When tiie capital of one bank was ex- ‘
ha listed, resort was had to the Legislature to
‘charter another, and every artifice used to
get the charter passed; needy members were
promised loans, while the wealthy were allur
ed by the prospect of gain on ti.e slock and
j the increased value it would impart lo their
estate®. In this manner the grand scheme ol
Rea! E date Banks ivasgot up. and the pledge
of the State of Louisiana, unconstitutionally
given to different instil tions, ior the enor
mous sum o! more than Twenty Millions of
.},!! ir <. —The persons who had the control of
these B inks, were mostly of an order of men,
j devoid of moral infegiity, and without the
advantage of a refined aducation. bui the
leaders and abettors in these scuemes to lord
it over the planters, did not confine their oper
ations to the State of Louisiana; the means
they had obtained co maud of enabled them
: to procure Bank Charters in Mississippi, and
! other States connected with the trade o! New
Or! ansq and so successful were they in their

! prices. Hem ing so much of tiie fortunes
made by others in Plantation Speculation,
j they deemed th-.n>eives behind the age, if
j tbev did not enter on the new course to
! wealth.
So completely did a few houses have the
control of Banks in Lauisiaua, M issi.ssippi,
Tennessee, &.s., that no planter or c mutry
merchant, no matter however respectable or
punctual he was known to be, could obtain a
discount: or negotiate a bii! through any of
tlie Banks, unless they agreed to consign their
cotton or other produce to some of the bank
controlling houses in New Orleans: and to
such an extent was this state ol things car
ried, that with tiie excephor* of ,a few old
fashioned French factors and planters, the
whole cotton factorage business was monopo
lized by a few houses “of yesterday,” and
as these ephemeral gentlemen could not retail
as they called it, selling each planter’s cotton
by itself on its own merits, they commenced
the practice of selling larger quantities, and
numerous interests at an average price, which
we shall to-morrow proceed to describe as
ihe list system.
of Louisville. —A commer
cial friend has at much pains ascertained the
amount of cotton goods, manufactured chiefly
in the towns above, sold in Louisville. The
result is, that on an average, goods of this de
sc riot ion to the amount of {jjjl,00(),000 are
sold annually in Louisville. In 1830, a year
of limited activity, there were sold in Louis
ville brown cottons to the value of $270,095,
prints to the value of $249,824, cotton yarns
to the value of $224,819, bleached cottons to
the value of $89,659, and checks and ticking,
to the value of $150,180; making in all the
sum of $988,773. In the same proportion as
Louisville distributes the cotton goods, manu
factured in the town; above her, she also dis
tributesthe iron manufactures',-tools, machine
ry, agricultural implements, glass, paper, &e.,
manufactured in the same towns. — Lou. Jour

Prayer at the Mast Head —A sailor re’
i neatly ieiu ned limn a Whaling voyage, and
m conversation vvilli a pious l ieiui, spoke of
die enjoyment lie had in prayer, while alar
on the deep. ‘ Bui,” inquired his friend, “in
i v midst of the ct nfusion on shipboard where
c.mid you find a place to pray?” “Ob, ’ said
be, “I always went lo the mast head.” 1
have heard of cl sets in various places, but
nevet in one more peculiar that this. Peter
went upSn the housetop to pray. Oihers
have sought the shades of tin forest. 1 re
member heaiing of a youth who came home
from the camp during the last war, and his
pious mother asked him. “Where, John,
could you find a place to pray?” Pie answer
led. “Where ihere is a head, mother, it is easy
i to find a place.”
And yet the sailor’s do-el was a favorite spot.
—The ear of man could not hear him as lie
r.jied mightily unto God. The gales that
wafted his ship on its voyage, would bear his
petitions upward toward tiie throne. “ The
voice of manv waters wnu'd be the music of
his sanctuary, and ‘.he angels that had charge
concerning him, would listen to the swelling
song.” As lie lifted up his heart and bis voice
io prayer, he was surrounded with 1 he majes
ty of’ hi< maker. The “deep, deep sea”
spread its illimitable expanse around bin).
The heavens spread out, like the curtains of
Jehovah’s chamber, and the stars, like the
jewels that adorn his crown, lun g over him
Its lie climbed the giddy mast, and bowed
down to pray. — Perhaps he had little imagin
ation, and entered not into the grandeur of
the scene around him. But lie had a soul;
n soul that felt the power of God; that
high and tiolv communion with the Father of
spirits, and while the otheis below were riot
ing in the mirth of a sailor’s jovial life, his joy
was literally to r's- above the world, arid find
iiuercnurse with heaven.
WIi.H peace there was in that sailor’s
heart. The storms might “rudely toss his
foundering bark.” but they could not shake
his confidence in God. The ocean might yawn
lien; a ill him to swallow him in its fathomless
depth, but tie was sheltered in the bosom of
his Father’s love. ’!'■ e frail hark might be
driven at the mere.v ol the winds, or be da-lied
on the rocks, of stianded on thr show, but he
had a hope that was an anchor to the soul,
both sure and steadfast entering info that
within .the veil. Through the'thickest dark
ness that enveloped him, the “star of Bethle
hem” shed its-loveliness ov ( r his paih in the
trackless deep, and guided him onward and
Howard to the hi a veil ol Ins eternal rest.
Thitherward from mast head he strained his
| eve, and true as the needle to the jJble, he
pursued his wav; when tempted, he sought
the mast head to pray; when in despondency,
at the mast-head he found joy; when the
Manus of .his “tfiimputffons fill'd his ear with
I pain and sotti with grief, h- ned to ihe mast
j head, and poured out the desires of his hea t
! into the ear of Hun who hears the humblest
j applicants that crv.
1 |ove to think of this sailor. I wish 1 knew
him, and could kneel clown with him. and
hea r him conve ?e with God. How few he as
faithful as lie! How nnny w< uld neglect their
closets and seldom pray in secret, unless
lhey could have a more saie retreat; a more
j sacred chamber than the mast ol a wave
! rocked whaler! But He, “when the sailor’s
pillow’s pressed,” walks on Ihe mighty deep,
and when the tempest tos-ed mariner cries,
he answers, “It is I. be not afraid.”
Napoleon's Tomb —The model of the tomb

j another base, two-thirds the width and one
half tiie height of the first, ‘also decorated
i with bas rehsis, and having - at each angle an
name v,ith expanded wings, ants again is
| surrounded bv a pedestal eight feet high, de
corated v.iih bas reliefs, and bearing in the
centre the word Napoleon, upon which is an
i equestrian statue ot the Emperor, wearing the
imperial mantle, and having the brows crown
;ed with laurel. The left hand holds the bri
dle. while the right c arries the sceptre of the
| empire, raised to the heigh’ of the head. The
Uwo bases and pedestal, which rise to the
(height of nearlv forty fee*, are of wood, and
the statues of carton. The equestrian statue
is fifteen feet high, the eagles six and the oth
ier ornaments in proportion. The effect is
exceedingly grand, and worthy of the subject.
It is expected to occupy M. Marochetti three
years.

j sna had evidently been sick a long time, and
had gone down to the grave in tiie very ex

The Arabian llorse of the Desert
His inUleigence is wonderful; he knows when
he is sold, or even when Ins master is bar
gaining to sell him. When the proprietor and
purchaser meet for that purpose in the sta
ble?, the kohlan soon guesses what is going
on, becomes restless, gives from his beautiful
eye a side glance at the interlocutors, scrapes
tiie ground with his foot, anl plainly shows
discontent. Neither the buyer nor any one
else dares to come near him; but the bargain
being struck, when the vender, taking the
kohlan by the halter, gives him up to the pur
chaser with a slice of bread and some salt,
turns away never more to look at him as his
own—an ancient custom of taking leave of his
horse and his recognizing anew master—it
is then that -this generous and noble animal
becomes tractable, mild and faithful to anoth
er, and proves himself immediately attached
to him whom his passion, a few minutes be
fore, might have laid at his fee , and tramplad
under his hoofs.
Marriage Extraordinary. —lt appears
from the following from an English piper,
that extraordinary marriages take place in

On Monday se’nnight a voting man pre

in company with a f male, whom lie wished
to lake unto himself fur “belter or worse.”
They iverc soon made happy by the deputy

some inquiries were naturally made as lo
where the parlies came from, and who they
were, when it turned out that the bride and
bridegroom stood, before tbeir marriage, in
the relative position of step-mother and step
son. What makes the case more remarkable
is the fact, that ihe bride is the mo her of two
, hildren by the bridegroom’s fathe , who was
drown'd some time ago in the river Ely. One
of the children was heard to say to a neigh

A RoyaL N .se. —At a table where the
present Emperor of Austria, when only heir
to the throne was a guest, a question arose ns
to which was the strongest part of the human
frame. One said that he thought the legs,
because tie f carried the ivbofe body; another
spoke up lor the arms, because of the labor
they were capable of performing, another
said thread, because it directed the whole.
When the prince was appealed to, he said
that for his pa p t, he gave his voice in favor
of the nose. When the laugh \vh : ch the odd
idea of a prince (and every body laughs at
the odd idea of a prince,) had ceased, his
highness was asked lor an explanation, when
he pithily said: “Why, Prince Metternich
has led my father by the nose for these last
twenty years, and it is still as Good a nose as
ever, and not a bit the worse lor the exer
cise.”

In a sous of Original Picluus, cn sm . , .
tti'-prts* dtscri/dious.
f IgMIE plan of publishing 111 successive :,t . .
-H- ptctoital works, illustrative of the sccnci)
countries, has long bcin a populat one in Europe and
ts rapidly gaining favor in our own country.
The prospectus to issue such a work, dovot .. :>
the scenery of Georg u, although novel, wff! itruioufu
edlv hud universal firvor, and be regarded ns it i by
Ihe editor, a plan at oitce felicitous and feasible.-—,
Tnere is much scenery in our S\ate. that is not sm
passed in beauty and sublimity, by that of any oilier
estate in the Union. The upper counties abound m
scenes, w hich need only to be known to command tho
tadm.ration ol all who love the beauties of uaiu.-.-.
Much of the scenery of the north is interior 10 ot.r
ow n, but is yet visited by thousands simply because 11
has been written, sung and ‘'lionized” by autho.s and
travellers, until ijs beauty has become universally!
known and appreciated. It is desirable that ait< nwr _
should be directed to out ow n resources of the pt-"j
turesque 111 natural scenery, and when this is done, < or,
own and northern tourists will speedily reude. ot r
beautiful views as immortal as our language. ,
The south is charged with general jnuifference t’o
the progress of Literature and the Fine Arts; ad
probably the strongest foundation for the charge H
tbuud 111 her inaction in enterprises calculated to foster
these objects. The publication of the proposed work
will, it is believed, be an iffcctive blow at this fornica
tion, and a step towards the establishment of ,our, I"N
erary reputation, to which end much honorable eiriuit
is now directed. . ,
A third consideration, and the last which will now
be urged, is the intrinsic value of such a publication
“GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED.” It will embody;
the representations of the beautiful and sublime in
our S'ate scenery, and afford to all, at a trifling ex
