goon as I wns acquainted with theirs,
that I wiis wholly unconscious of the ap
plication, to myself, of any of the reasons,
so far as I was apprised of them, which
had induced them to withdraw from the
public*service. It, therefore, seemed to
be due to inv own character, which might
otherwise have been exposed to unfavor
able imputations, that 1 should tind a rea
so!i*for resigning, in a distinct expression
of your wish to that effect; this wish has
now been frankly announced, and has en
abled me to place my retirement on its
true ground.
I have, therefore, the honor of tender
ing to you my resignation of the office ©1
Secretary of tlie Treasury of the United
States, which you will be pleased to ac
cept, to take effect as soon as my services
may be dispensed with consistently with
your views of the public interest.
I seize the occasion to offer you my
thanks for the many testimonials I have
received of your kindness and confidence,
during our official connexion, and espe
cially for the renewed assurance this day
of the same sentiment.
S. D. INGHAM.
Ilis Excellency Andrew Jackson,
President U. S.
Washington, April 20th, 1831.
Sm: Late last evening I had the hon
x>r to receive your letter of that date, ten
dering your resignation of the office of
Secretary of the Treasury. When the.
resignations of the Secretary of State and
Secretary of War were tendered, I con
sidered fitfty the reasons offered, and all
the circumstances connected with the
subject. After mature deliberation, I
concluded to accept those resignations.
Blj.t when this conclusion was come to,
it was accompanied with a conviction that
I must entirely renew my cabinet. Its
members had been invited by me to the
stations they occupied—it had come to
gether in great harmony, and as a unit.
Under the circumstances in which I found
myself, I could not hut perceive the pio
priety of selecting a cabinet composed of
entirely new materials, as being calcula
ted, in this respect at least, to command
public confidence and satisfy public opin
ion- Neither could I be insensible to
the fact that,to permit two only to retire,
w ould be to afford room for unjust mis
conceptions and malignant misrepresen
tations concerning the influence of their
particular presence upon the conduct of
public affairs. Justice to the individuals
whose public spirit had impelled them tp
tender their resignations, also required
then, in my opinion, the decision which I
have stated, however painful to my own
feelings, it became necessary that I should
frankly make known to you the whole
subject.
In accepting of vour resignation, it is
with great pleasure that I bear testimony
to the integrity and zeal with which you
have managed the fiscal concerns of the
nation. In your discharge of all the du
ties of your office, over which I have any
control, I have been fully satisfied; and
in your retirement you carry w ith you my
best wishes for your prosperity and hap
piness.
It is expected that you will continue to
discharge the duties of your office until
a successor is appointed.
I have the honor to be, with great res
pect, your most obedient servant.
ANDREW JACKSON.
Sami.. D. Ingham,
Secretary of the Treasury.
A Good Shot.—One of the best shots
I ever heard of made with a percussion
gun. About ten or twelve years ago, an
Eastern shore vessel was frozen up in
this river, and her provisions exhausted,
the Captain went on shore to see “how
land laid in other w ords, to make re
connoisance of hen roosts. Old Mrs.
number of her domestic fowls, could not
bargain with the Captain for his “assorted
cargoat length he agreed to give a sil
ver dollar for a shot among her poultry,
and agreed to shoot a gun without a flint,
this was accepted by the old lady, pro
vided she loaded the gun, which she stip
ulated to do fairly. Captain Bobstay,
who was up to a thing or two, went on
board took down old blue trigger, (just
altered to the percussion principle) a
large silver sighted trumpet-muzzle gun,
imported before the revolution to shoot
swans on the Potomac, put in six fingers
clear of the wad, then cut off the ramrod
level with the muzzle, and returned on
shore, reinforced by his mate and cook.
The old lady, ufter trying the ramrod,
very deliberately took oft' a small thimble
which she used as a charger, and having
loaded with a thimble full of powder and
an equal quantitiy of shot delivered the
gun to Captain Bobstay, who then placed
six fence rails in tw o rows at a foot dis
tance, and baiting with corn between
them ; so soon as the poultry mounted the
rails and began to feed with their heads
between the rows Bobstay took a position
so as to enfilade the whole defile—slap
bang went old blue trigger, with a most
horrid explosion. Huzza for old blue
trigger, shouted the Captain, huzza for
old blue trigger, shouted the mate, huz
za shouted the cook—“ God have mercy
on me, ” said the old lady; hiss, went
the geese, gobble, gobble, gobble, went
the turkeys, quack, quack, quack, went
the ducks. Seventeen turkeys, 9 geese,
5 ducks, 13 chickens and the house pig
were the fruits of Cagtain Bobstav’s ex
ploit.— Sporting Magazine.

THE DEMOCRAT.
FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1831.
Anew Post Office has been estab
lished at ‘King’s Bluff,' Stewart Coun
ty, and Win. Miller appointed Post
Master.
The resignation of the members of
Gen. Jackson's cabinet is the engross
ing topic cf the day, and has already
given rise to a variety of conjecture and
discussion. Yet apart from the letters
of the late members of the cabinet them
selves, nothing bearing the semblance
ol’truth has transpired. By some it is
asserted that public opinion is <o deci
dedly against the late incumbents, that
even the weight of General Jackson’s
name, was not sufficient to sustain them.
Others have asserted that the president
lias become a Van Bureninan, and that
the arrangement has been effected with
a sole view to his interests; that Van
Iluren himself resigned voluntarily for
the purpose of running for the vice pre
si deucy, and that those who had joined
the Calhoun party, were in fact dis
missed. Another conjecture is, that
Old Hickory’s cabinet, bad of late
shown more zeal in forwarding their
own individual interests, than in advan
cing the business of the nation, and had
gone so far as to oppose some favorite
measure on the ground of its unpopu
larity; and that the old Soldier had de
termined to have those about him who
could deliberate for the good of the na
tion, anti not for the purpose of pushing
themselves into office. But it is use
less to speculate. Time unriddles all
things.
We have a report founded on letters
from Milledgeville, that the Penitentia
ry has been destroyed by fire. Wheth
er by accident or design is not stated.
If the state should be fortunate e
nough to get rid of the institution itself,
by this catastrophe, we should pro
nounce it a lucky loss.

It will be seen from the following note
addressed to Col. Berrien, and his reply
thereto, that he has accepted an invitation
from the citizens of Savannah in a dinner
on Wednesday next, the 4th of 3lay.
Savannah, April 27, 1831.
To the Mon. J. M Berrien,
Sir —The undersigned have been appointed a
Committee by your fellow-citizens to invite yon
to be their guest at. a dinner, on tfip earliest day
which may suit your convenience
Having on a former occasion declined a sim
ilar tribute to your private worth and public scr
vices, from motives, which were reluctantly ac
quiesced in bv your friends, and fellow-citizens
at the time, they trust that you will now 7 yield
to their wishes on this occasion. Your neces
sary absence in the discharge of your official
duties, and the short time you allow yourself to
devote to your private avocations, during your
annual visits, they hope will influence you in
consenting to be their United Guest, since your
time does not permit yon to accept the private
hospitality of each individual townsman.
Accept the assurances of our high considera
tion and respect.

Savannah, 27th April, 1831.
Gentlemen: —l have to acknowledge the re
coipt of your note of this date, inviting me to
become the guest of my fellow-citizens of Sa
vannah, at a dinner, with which they propose
to honor me, and to express through vou to
them, the deep sense which 1 entertain of this
renewed manifestation of their kindness. It it
had been equally acceptable to them, it would
have been as gratifying to me and more conso
nant to the relation, which t desi.e to hold to
this community 7 , to have been received in a less
public manner' My wishes however shall be
cheerfully yielded to theirs, and uniting with
them in that character, which I most highly
prize, it is as a private individual, or a citizen of
Savannah, returning after a protracted absence,
to a cherished home that I will accent the hos
pitality, which they so kindly offer'. Availing
myself of the permission which you give me, to
fix the day of our meeting, the fatigue incident
to my journey, and some engagements which
require my more immediate attention, will in
fluence me to mention Wednesday the 4th
proximo, as the day on which it will bo most
convenient to me, to wait upon my fellow-citi
zens of Savannah.
For tiicm and for yourselves, be pleased to ac
cept assurances of the respectful regard with
which 1 am,

Tha New-Bedford Mercury of the 20th
inst. contains the following:
“The brig Franklin, Stephen H. How
land, master, arrived at this port yester
day, left Flushing the 25th of March.—
France had joined the Belgians against
the King of Holland, and the French
General had been at Brussels to take
command of the United Armies. An or
der had reached the Flushing to put in
immediate readiness the whole of the
Dutch Navy. It was rumoured and be
lieved that AUSTRIA HAD DECLAR
ED WAR AGAINST FR ANCE.”
The above, to say the least, is doubt-,
ful. Our pupers by the Othello, which
are to the 28th of March, say nothing on
I the subject.
Encland. —The London morning pa
pers of March 24, were received by the
ship United States, the arrival of which
was mentioned yesterday. The Parlia
ment was not dissolved on the night of
the 23d, as was predicted by the Globe;
but from the tenor of the artiele which is
eopied from the Morning Chronicle of the
24th, that event very piobably took place
within a day or two after our latest date.
There is no other item of political intelli
gence of any moment. The general im
pression seems to lie, that the Ministers
will consent to no modification of their
project whatever—but that, appealing to
the people for anew Parliament, it will
be carried by the next House of Com
mons, and rejected by the Lords. We
are to see what will follow.
N. Y. Com. Advertiser.
Latest from Spain. —The brig Oak,
which arrived at Boston on Monday last
from Rochelle, brought Bordeaux papers
to March 21. They contain no later
news from Paris than we had before re
ceived, but they furnish Madrid dates a
few days later. The Madrid Gazette ex
traordinary of March 12, publishes a re
port from the Commandant General of
Andalusia, which announces that the
Constitutionalists who had quitted the
Isle of Leon for Tarifa, were pursued and
cut to pieces on the Bth, at Bejer, by the
royalist troops, and that 400 men laid
down their arms. The General thinks
that the insurrection which had threaten
ed the most serious consequences to the
Government, is at an end. Priva.e let
ters, however, expressed the opinion that
all was riot at an end .—Daily Advertiser.

MACON TELEGRAPH.
A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRINTED AT MACON
BORGIA,
And devoted to Intelligence, Commerce,
Agriculture, Science and sound
Principles.
]N ordinary times it might;perhaps be superflit
o*:s to set forth formally tho political faith
of a public journal well known for several years
in most parts of the State, bnt at the pres
ent juncture in which conflicting ooinions tlirea
ten a change in the form of our government and
a suspension of the peaco, safety and happiness
of society by civil war, —political candor and
moral hone ty demand a suscinct declaration
of principles and view’s, that a clear line of de
marcation may be tiaced between the triends of
peace and rational ficodom and the advocates of
anarchy and carnage
T he Telegraph will, sts it has hitherto done,
vindicate personal and political liberty so far as
compatible with private happiness and public
safety It will therefore cling to the opinion of
the fathers of the revolution, as comprised in
the Declaration ol Independence and the Con
stitution of the United States; and it holds t to
be a truth almost intuitive, that on the most vi
gilant and unremitting restriction of the gene
ral and state branches ot our government to
their respective provinces, depend the benign
operations of those opinions, the virtue of tho
man, the franchise of the citizen, and the inter
nal peace and external safety of the country.
Under impressions, the Telegraph as
regards the causes of excitement in the South,
considers the ju indicium f every stale over
her chartered limits to belong exclusively to her
own tribunals, and every interference with it
eiL.erby the Federal Judiciary or by congress
to be a p.tlpable usurpation that ought to bo
resisted; but the tariff though injudicious in
many of'its provisions and needing general re
vision to adapt it to the interest of the country, it
views as being strictly within the power w’ithi
which congress is invested; and believes that in
ternal improvement in its exisiing shape, to be
r ather an abuse of legitimate anthority than an
infraction of the constitution an evil which
the patriotism and independence of President
Jackson has gone far to remedy and which the
good sense and virtue of future congresses w’il!
no doubt remove altogether.
It will therefore be readily perceived, that the
Telegraph acknowledges "that the Southern
people have just grounds for cemplaiet and re
monstrance, in wt ich it unites, but none for se
dition or revolution; and contends that the ad
vocates of the latter measures, whether under
the name of nullifiers or conventionists, are in
fact adverse to the peace and prosperity of our
country and inimical to the morals and happi
ness of its citizens.
It will likewise be inferred, and that truly,
that the Telegraph supports the re-election of
Andrew Jackson to the Presidency, and co-ope
rates in every measure it deems just and salu
tary with his primitive frionds in Georgia
In the prosecution of the foregoing objects’,
the Telegraph is aided by Archibald Camp-
BiLI. M’intvrf.
The Telegraph will shortlv appear in an en
larged form and new dress. The terms of sub
scription are, three dollars per annum in ad
vance, or four at the end of the year.
