Are you not watched by a power jealous

You cannot let South Carolina go pence

m-ssioi, room oi. Friday evening Bth June, !
183:1, the meeting was called to ordi i by
Preserved Fish.
James Kent was ciiosen President, A. 1
Stephen Allen, > and G.deon Lee, \ ice :
Presidents.
Cornelius W. Lawrence and John A. \
i Stevens were chosen Secretaries.
The following resolutions were moved j
j iiy Peter Augustus Jay , and second* and by !
David B. Ogden, and were carried.
1. Ilcsolced, That the preservation of;
the Union of these States, “in which are
involved our prosperity, felicity, safety, |
perhaps our national existence,” is an oh- l
jectof paramount importance never to he
endangered for particular interests, nor
sacrificed to abstract opinions.
«. Resolved, That in order to a satis
factory and equitable settlement of any of
those important questions, which at times
| must variously etfiect states, “differing in
j situation, climate, habits, and particular
| interests,” it is necessary that each should
j relax on some points; and always to recol
| lect that our happy constitution itself was
j and dared by its august framers to he “the
! result of a spirit of amity, and mutual de
; iereuce and concession which the pecul
i ianty of our political situation renders in
dispensable.
3. He solved, That an arrangement of
the Tariff question during the present ses
sion of Congress, on such principles as
may allay discontent and restore harino
ny to the, different sections of the country,
is essential for the preservation of peace
! and union,
■1 Hi sole <l, That this important object
j cannot be effected otherwise than by sin
| cere mutual deference and concession,
; evinced by great sacrifices of opinion and
! of interest ui both sides; by ucquicscc
ance in special protection to certain bran
| dies of industry on the one hand; and
I on the other by an abandonment of exor
bitant protecting duties, and of the must
obnoxious and oppressive provisions of
the system.
5. Unsolved, Without pretending to de
cide vvhat amount of revenue is adequate
j to defray the expenses and to meet the
; exigencies of government, that a reriuc-
I lion of the existing duties to that extent
is essential, under any modification of
the Tmiff, to perserve the undivided con
fidence of the people in the General Gov
ernment.
0. Hi solved, That the proceedings of
this meeting, certified by the President,
Vice-Presidents, and Beeretarics, with a
copy of the notification calling it together,
lie transmitted by them to the Senators
of this state, and representative of this
i city in Congress, with a request that the
| same may be laid before both Houses, and
that they will themselves endeavor to es
! f ct a settlement in the spirit and upon
( the principles before mentioned.
Whereupon the meeting adjourned.

The news Iroin Europe contained in
our paper ’o-day, is of the most intense
interest. The loss of the lieforin Bill, i
the defeat and resignation of the Minis
ters, the return to power of the Duke of]
Wellington, the uncomprv nosing enemy ,
of the popular wishes, —ami the conse
quent excitement of the people, the tin- I
certainty, alarm and fearful apprehension ]
which hang over every movement for the!
future, combiue to make a crisis of uan- s
ger and difficulty beyond calculation. A i
run upon the I,auk was apprehended,
meetings \v< re culled in the counties, and
in Manchester a petition was got up in
three Jlours signed by 55 thousand per
rons, praying that the House would rc
fuse suppli. s until the liefvrm Lilt was
passed. Mr. O'ConneSl, on the presenta
tion of this petition in the House of Com
mons, announced a receipt of a similar
one from Birmingham, signed by 100,000
names. Mr. Yi pud m presenting the
j Manchester petition, declared with great
boldfSess, that ‘if the King had handed
j the people over to the borough mongers,
i his nh ; in this covntry tens r ey insecure."
‘lf,’said Mr. O’Cnmifll, ‘she people of
England were irue to themselves, they
would have reform, ii the people of Scot
land insisted upon reforni, they must have
it, for they never yet insisted upon any
thing which they had not obtained.—
\\Uh thr.irgood broadswords, if it wire
now necessary,he doubted not, then w ould
raise for themselves political independ
ence. The people of Ireland would not,
i lie would answer for them, -shrink from
their share of the Constitutional coolest.”
M. Buncombe, in reply to Mr Baring,
■ stated that the public agitation “would lie
j continued, as it ought until the govern
] menl was replaced in those hands from
! which it had been wrested by the grossest
i hypur.ricy and treachery." This ian
j gunge and the out door movements of ex
j ojtemcut nnd agitation, are evidently but
j the beginnings of evil? to the infatuated
] tones. They have raised the storm, let
j them put it down by force if..they can.—
l'hey have virfuiiUy determined that the

I absolutely, jn both houses ot parliament
—let them look to it, that n the end,

RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.
Earl Grey, it will he recollected, was
defeated in ins first movement on the Re
form Bill in committee, on the night of
the 7th May. It was evident, from his
language at the close of the debate on
that occasion, that his next movement
would he the creation of a sufficient num
ber of Peers to carry the Inil in bis own
way. And that the king would sanction
such an •ort, little doubt was entertained,
since the public, in both hemispheres,
lias been made to believe that it was the
Premier who was hceitniiug upon this
measure, even more than his majesty. •'
It appears, however, that so far ns the !
King was concerned, this impression was
a deception. The further discussion of
the lull, was deferred to the lOtlt of May. j
.Mi untiine application was made to the
King for tlnf iicw creations, and the” pa-1
tiers in the confidence of the ministers!
announced the members to be created,
viz: twenty-five eldest sons of . v«ts vvete
to have been called up on the lifih, m and
twcn*y live new Peers created on the i Lii
—vv nit as many more afterwards, as the
ease alight r< quite. •
A Cubii-i t Council was held on the Sin,
at which tjic MiiiisfeJs agreed to require
the creation of lie Peers, in delimit of
which tlicv wouid proceed noimther with:
the bill. His majesty was waited upon
with this decision, and, to the astonish
•meat of the whole British Nation, (alter
'.vital had tninspiml,) the ing refused
liis assent to the measure proposed! and
that refusal of course has envied the W big
Ministry!! Lead Grey did not wait for
the sitting of the 10ti», to prochum rlie re
sult; but, on the opening of the sitting of
theOtii, he announced the retirement of
himself and colleagues from the govern
ment
The debates which has ensued, partic

sequence of unexpected turn iii af
fairs, LavC been full of soirit. On the
! night of the iOth Lord Ebrington moved
j the following resolutions in tire House of
Commons.
I “That mi humble address be presented
loliis Majesty, humbly to represent to his
Majesty the deep regret felt by this House
! at the change which has been announced
jui his Majesty's councils by the retirc
; meat of those ministers in whom ibis
house continues Io repose unabated confi
dence. That this house, in confiormity
with tlie recommendation contained m
] his majesty’s most gracious speech from
the throne, has framed, and sent up to
the House of Lords, a Bill for Iho repre
sentation of the people, by which they
j are convinced that tlie prerogative of the
crown, the authority of both houses of
; parliament, and the rights and liberties
! of the people nre duly secured.
That in the* progress of this measure
the House of Commons considers itself
hound in duty Instate to his majesty that
liis subjects are looking with the most in
t.ense’interest and anxiety, and they can
not disguise from liis Majesty that the
] taking of any step which should mutilate
j or tend to impair efficiency would be pro
ductive of the greatest disappointment
; and dismay. That the House is therefore
impelled by the warmest attachment to
Ins Majesty’s person and throne, humbly
and most earnestly to implore ins majesty
!to call to liis councils such persons only,
I as will carry into effect unimpaired in all
I its essential provisions, that‘hill lor the
i the reform of the representation of tlie
people, which has recently passed this
; house.”
The resolutions were adopted, after a
long and animated debate, by a majority
i of 80 in a house of 40(5—the numbers be
! mg for the motion 288, against it, 208.
'1 he King came to London on the !2th,
on wit.clt day the DUKE of \\ ELLING
TON was appointed Fust Lord of the
i l l reusury, and kissed his Majesty’s hand
1 on entering upon the duties of Uremicr.
The papers of the evening of the 1 Ith,

the new Government was formed, but tlie
names bad not transpired. Mr Barring

I'rom the Be;it of \V ar, vve have but
little or no intelligence, and that of an
m.satisfactory kind. The militia, under
the command of General Whitesides,
j have returned to their homes, their firm
of service having expired. About three
hundred volunteered to remain in service
j until the new levies should arrive. Three
; thousand militia are ordered into service.
: Gen. Atkinson was still encamped a*
Dixon’s Ferry. Two companies of the
j regular army have been ordered from
Cantonment Leavvnwort, to join General j
Atkinson. One hundred men have been 1
detailed from Fort Winnebago. Gener
al Brady is advancing from Michi
gan; and the militia of Indiana tire
taking tlie field to protect her fron
tiers." General Atkinson has called for
a thousand of the Sioux and Menominee
warriors; and tlicv will no doubt, quickly
enter into the conllict with their ancient
enemies. The Officers of that depart
ment arc busily engaged in furnishing
supplies for the consumption of the army,
nnd the relief of the inhabitants who have
been driven from their homes by the sav
ages.
It is certain, that Mr. St. Vrain, the a
gent for the Sanks and Foxes, and two
others, were killed while on their way to
General Atkinson’s bend quarters. The
murder is supposed to have been com
mitted by a party of the Witnicijr.gue.s.—
Several murders are said to have been
committed on citizens of Vermilion comi

\ Alarming progrfss of Ihc Cholera.
Yesterday morning’s mail brought us
the unwelcome tidings of the appearance
ol this alarming disease on this side of the
Atlantic. Ihe facilities ot communica
tion between the United States and Can
ada, where it had commenced, was well
calculated to excite the most serious alarm
j throughout the country.
I But the arrival of the fast sailing ship
Belcidero , in a very Short run from Bal
j tiutorc, has pit us in t* c possession of the
I American of that city, of Tuesday hist,,
from which it appears that the Cholera
was extending itself very rapidly towards
our frontiers, and that the greatest alarm
, existed throughout the .State of Nevv-
York.
If will be seen hv the extracts which w c
give tins morning, that in the city of Neiv-
Yor a quarantine has been instituted by
•he proclamation ol the .Mayor, upon nil
steam I mats and vesselsin the North Riv
er, on board of w hich tbc elias been anr
person sick of the Cholera. They are
forbidden to approach the wharves nearer
•hf»n three hundred yards, without per
mission from die Mayor. All carriages tfc
vehicles carrying persons sick of the Chol
era, are forbidden to approach within a
mile and a half of the City Hull.
The Board of Aldermen of the city
have placed S2S,QUO at the disposal of the
Board ol Health, to lie applied in pro
tecting tlie city.
The Circular and Form of Pravcr, put
forth by the Right Rev. Bishop Onder

occasion, of this threatened pestilence,
will, no doubt, be read with much inter
est.
Medical men in all parts of out coun
try, arc preparing them selves, vve trust,
for tlie proper treatment of the disease,
whenever it may reach them.
The Cholera. —On the lSlh rinst. off
tlie Capes of Virginia, Capt. Bauer, of
the brig Lnngdon Clievcs, spoke one of
the Baltimore pilot boats, who informed
him, that a brig then in sight, from Rot
terdam, as he understood, bound to Bal
timore, had on board a number of pas
sengers sick with tlie Cholera, and that
several had died on the passage of tliat
disease.

Jackson and the Cherokecs. Two
Companies oftlic 1 nitod States’ Troops
have been ordered to proceed to the
Cherokee nation. The object of this
movement, the Secretary of War has not
seen fit to promulgate; speculation of
course is on tiptoe, and much diversity or
opinion prevails on the subject. Some
conjecture that it is the intention of the
President to prevent the occupancy of
tlie Cherokee country, by G corgm; "oth
ers think, and more rationally too, that
his object is simply to protect those Indi
ans who wish to emigrate, and to forward
•he view sos the General Government in
affecting a treaty, and in the removal of
•he whole tribe beynml the Mississippi.
