Gentlemen : —I am filled with emotions of the most heartfelt sorrow at the death of our triend, the sage and patriot, Charm-s Carroll of Car rollton, which you have announced to me in your note of this date. My sympathy with my country, and with tiie relatives and neighbours of the deceased on this melancholy occasion, is rendered more poignant because it will be de- ( prived of the gratifying relief which a partici pation in the funeral honors that are to be paid him by the authorities of Baltimore, is calculat- j cd to afford. | Please assure the friends of the deceased that | nothing but the most imperious public duty, de- j manding all my time at this moment, could pre- ( vent my taking a part in the proceedings which , vou inform me have been adopted by the author- j ities of Baltimore, in honor ot his burial. No , one estimated higher than I did, his claims, whilst living, upon the gratitude and love of his • country : none will cherish more sacredly his . memory now that he is taken from us by the Great Disposer of the affairs of this world. i I have the honor to lie, with great respect, Your very ob’t servant, A NI)R EW r J A CKSON. Messrs. Jno. J. Donaldson, Isaac F. Light ncr. Job Smith, jun’r. Samuel Moore, Francis , H. Davidge, Committee. FROM TIIE BALTIMORE AMERICAN. ( We have recollected, as fully as the brief time allowed us for this day’s paper would permit, , from such popular sources as are within our , roach, a sketch ofthe prominent incidents in the , life of Carroll. He was born on the 20th of { September, 1737, at Annapolis, in this State, , and consequently was, at the time of his death, ( in the ninety-sixth year of his ago. He de- ■ scended from a highly respectable Irish family, ( who had emigrated to this country in the reign , of William and Mary. At a vesy early age he , was sent to St. Omers, to be educated ; thence, , after a short time, he was removed to Rheims, j to the college of Louis Le Grand ; and thence , to one of the best institutions in France | for the study of civil law. After becoming well j versed in this science, he passed over to Lon- , don, and commenced his term at the Temple - for the study of common law. After finishing ( his studies and his travels, he returned to his \ native land at the ripe age of twenty-seven. , At this period the discussions between the mo- , ther country and the colonies commenced, and , were soon after carried on with great warmth. . Mr. Carroll did not hesitate, but took side with , the lovers of liberty. . lie wielded a ready pen, and was soon known, j as one ofthe most powerful political writers in , Maryland. lie foresaw early that an appeal to arms must be made, and boldly recommended preparations. Early in 177 G, lie was sent as one of a com- , mission to Canada, to induce the people of that province to join us in opposing the mother coun try. The disasters which had previously be fallen our arms in that quarter rendered the mission ineffectual.—He returned in June, 1776, and instantly repaired to the convention of Ma ryland, of which he was a member ; and there, uririnu them to withdraw the instructions thev had given their delegates in Congress, not to vote for independence, at length succeeded. He was appoin'ed a delegate to Congress. On the 18th of July, he presented his credentials to the continental Congress at Philadelphia, and on the secon ! day of August following subscribed bis name to the immortal instrument. He was con sidered at the time, as one of the most fearless men of the age ; for he had more to risk, in point of property, than any other man in the whole community, Hancock not excepted. On the first day he entered Congress he was appointed to the board of war, of which he was an efficient member. During the whole of the war he bore his part with unbated ardor, often being at the same time a member of the convention of his native State and a member of Congress ; a double du-y, which required great energy and industry to perform; but so ably did be dis charge his duties, that both parties were satis fied with his attention to each. In 1778, he left Congress, and devoted himself to the conn cils of his native State. When the Constitution of the United States went into operation, Mr. Carrod was elected a Senator from Maryland, and took his seat in the citv of New. York, at tho organization of the government, on the thir tieth of April, 1789. He was elected a second time to this situation. In the year 1801, he quitted public life at the age ot sixty-four —and for thirty years and up wards, has passed a life of serenitv, tranquil happiness and prosperity, till in the' fullness of ■ years and honors, the Patriarch has been ga ; thered to his lathers—and the last or the sing ers IS DEAD ! Mr. Carroll departed this life on Wednes day morning, about four o’clock, at the resi- I dence of his son in-law, R. Caton, Esq. in East Water at reel. la testimony of respect for the memory of the deceased, the flags of the ship ping and public places were displayed through out the day at half mast. On the annunciation of the fact to Raliimore County Court, yester day, the Court was adjourned. mOM THE WASHINGTON GLOBE. We perceive that the opposition prin‘3 are giv ing, os intelligence, intimations spread abroad by the Telegraph, to make the impression that the President is taking measures to blockade the port of Charleston, by revenue cutters, and is marching troops to make war upon the Niuli fiers. There is not the slightest pretext for the supposition, that anyone considers such precau tions necessary, to secure the collection of the revenue. No resistance, by foree, to the due administration of the laws, is apprehended. But a little while ago, the nullifying paper gave it out, as a fearful sign, that the President was about to remove the United Srates troops from South-Carolina, and leave the State in dan ger of an insurrection from i:s slaves. Indeed, it was falsely stated, and made a grave charge against him, that he had said he would with draw the troops, for the purpose alluded to. Now he is accused of sending a handful of Regu lars to conquer the Commonwealth ! ! FROM THE XEW-VSRK JOURNAL OF COMMERCE. The second Session of the Twenty-Second Congress commences two weeks from next Monday. It will be one of the most important sessions ever held. The great question to be considered, is that relating to South-Carolina, and its unavoidable concomitant, the lariff. Though Sou'h-Carolina is not sustained by the other Southern States in her measures of redress, she has their sympathies in. fill in regard to the object of her complaints. The whole South, with the exception perhaps of Louisiana, i.s uni ted agains’ the TaiifT; and the only quesTm is, how to relieve themselves of the burden. Ihe whole South, therefore, with the exception we have named, will go en masse against the la rifT.—Nor is it unreasonable to suppose that the views of Northern and Western members will be greatly influenced by the dangers which that instrument has brought upon the country. 1 hey will pause and consider, whether it is worth while to hazard the* unity of the Republic fur the sake of perpetuating a system of at least doubtful utility and doubtful justice. A majori ty, we presume, including the Southern Mem bers, will be found in favor of concession : Os concession adequate to the exigencies of the crisis : Os concession such as ought to have been gran’ed on the 14lh of July. But in ad- j justing this controversy, a due regard must be | had to the interests of the manufacturers, ll a j plan is adopted for reducing the duties to the ac tual wants of the government, and of equaliz ing the duties on different articles, it must be done gradually. Large investments have been made in manufacturing stock on the strength of the Tariff; and although reason might have shown that such exorbitant duties would not al ways be borne, yet to reduce them at once to the contemplated level, would be more unjust and cruel than anv thing which South-Carolina has suffered, or will be called to suffer.—lt S. Carolina possesses the patriotism which she claims, she will not ask for a sudden reduction. If Congress duly regard the interest of the manufacturers, they will not grant it. If 25 per cent, be fixed upon as the ultimate rate of duty, a gradation should be established by which it may be reached after successive reductions of a small per centage annually. We are friends of the South, but we are friends also of the North ; and (little as they may give us credit for the assertion) of the manufacturers. \\ e desire to see all manufactures to which this country is adapted, suitably encouraged ; and encouraged in every way not inconsis cnt with the claims of other branches of industry, and the peace of the country. We have been thrown into apparent opposition to them, by the exorbitant demands of the manufacturers; by seeing a Tariff of Protection swelling from that of 1816 to that of 1824, and again to that of 1828 ; by seeing that, which was originally intended only for manufactures in their infancy, claimed for them in perpetuity, and the rate of protection increasing as they advanced ; by see ing these claims insisted on, without abatement, notwithstanding the manifest disaffection they were creating in more than half the territorial extent of the Union ; bv seeing the capital of the country more and more crowded into these establishments, and retreat becoming every day more difficult, when it was perfectly evident to us that a change must come and was rapidly approaching. In advocating a liberal compro mise with the South at the last sess’on of Con gress, we were acting, ns we thought, and still think, not more in accordance with the interests of the country, than with those of the manufac turers ; and we now venture to say, that if the latter had foreseen what they now sec, they would have much sooner thought of making us an appropriation from the Boston Fund, as a re ward for our services, than of undertaking to punish us by stopping their papers. “ A stitch in time saves nine,” is an adage the force of which they seem little to have understood, as applicable to the Tariff. Our only fear now is, that the country, exasperated by the mischiefs to which that instrument has given rise, will sweep the whole thing by the board, wi.hout that regard to the interests of the manufactures which the case demands. Against such a course we will exert all our energies. FROM THE UPLAND (PKNN.) UNION. THE VICE PRESIDENCY. All attention appears drawn at this time to the question of the Vicc-Prosidency, in Pennsylva nia. It is well known that the Electors of’this Sate, are bound by their honors to vote for WILLIAM WILKINS, the regular nominated candidate of the democratic party for Vice-Pre sident, unless, absolved from their pledges, by the Convention that placed them upon ihe elec toral ticket. In the counties of Berks and Montgomery, meetings have been held purport ing to absolve their respective electors from the pledges given by them to the Harrisburg Con vention, <s in relation to the Vice-President,” and instructing them to vo*e for Mar in Van Buren, ol New-\ork. However much we may regret the hopeless prospects of success of the Pennsylvania candidate to the Vice-Presidency, it is yet time enough, after Mr. Wilkins shall have been rcqnes'ed to withdraw bv the Con vention that placed him in nomination for the exalted station, before the movements made in the above counties, can bejustified ; for it should be remembered, that that gentleman said in a letter addressed to the Delegates of the stii of March Convention, “ I shall tcith profound gra titude, accept the nomination, 6p shall ADHERE to it until ihe same authority that gave it, shall require me to yield it up.” So far as we are acquainted with the wishes of the democratic party in this section of the State, there is but one opinion, namely, that the integrity of the party, is paramount to every o ther consideration, and whatever will best tend to promote union, and give strength to the re publican cause, will he most heartily concur red in. . We have not the remotest idea that a single electoral vote of this State, will be given to ei ther the candidates of the opposition for the Vice-Presidency—the vote of Pennsylvania up on this subject will present a bold and undivid ed front. A TOWagAt TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 27. 1532. THE GEORGIA CONVENTION'. The proceedings of this convention will be reviewed very shortly. The senior Editor of this paper at tended the procedings. A fair statement will be given of the interesting circumstances attending that body during its session. The remarks which wc shall teel ourselves bound to make upon the subject, will cover the whole ground taken by the convention. We shall endeavor to ■be as brief as the case will admit. Betore we begin, it is due to the community in which we live, and to our selves, considering our station as public journalists, to declare, that the stand we intend to take, with regard to this convention, will be in accordance with the course we have hitherto pursued, and that, consequently, wo shall express a decided disapprobation of the proceedings of that body, and of the resolutions it has adopted—because the meeting of that convention was not authorized by a majority of the people of Georgia ; because the pro. ccedings of that body were irregular and determined by a small minority of the delegates more properly elected; and because the resolutions adopted, sustain the dangerous doctrine of nullification, and, of consequence, disunion and civil discord. SOVTH-CA ROLI.VA CONVENTION”, We present to our readers in another column, the Or dinance reported to the convention of South-Carolina, which it is presumed will before long be adopted, if it is not already. Here the monster idol of Nullification stands confessed a Revolutionary Moloch, soon perhaps to receive a bloody offering from its infatuated vota ries. Read, Georgians—read and rejoice, that you have repelled the insidious attempts which were made to in volve you in a common fate with your misguided neigh bours. We trust tint those who have so long deafened our ears with the constitutional remedy —the peaceful remedy, which was to redress our grievances, and pre serve the Union, will at least have the grace to maintain a penitential silence, now that all this idle sophistry is exploded by the event. Nullification was already on its last legs in Georgia : the “ Ordinance” wil' give it a fin ishing stroke. O’ Since writing the above, we have been informed that the Manifesto of the National Convention of South- Carolina, has been adopted, and that this body adjourn, cd on Saturday evenins last. WENT INDIA TRADE. The importance of the West India Trade to the country, cannot bo better shown than by exhibiting the amount of the imports from, and the exports to, the sev eral West India Islands, with which the United Slates have commercial intercourse, for the year ending the 30th September, 1831.

VVIL.DE. We have procured, for publication, the following let- ' ter from Mr. Wilde, to the Governor, signifying his acceptance of a seat in Congress, to which he was e lected on the first Monday in October last. As ibis gentleman writes what he feels, and feels what he writes, any remarks of ours upon this letter, would be < out of place ; we could not do justice to the subject. 1 W e will observe, however, that when Georgia is repre sented in the Federal Legislature by such a man as Mr. W ilde, her reputation will be honourably vindicated when assailed, her best interests ably supported, and \ her rights boldly defended. | (COPY.) “ Washington, Ist. November, 1832. Sir,— — In compliance with your Excellency’s procla mation, announcing the result of the late Congressional election, and with the act of the General Assembly of Georgia, imposing certain duties on the members elect, : I have tiie honor to signify my grateful acceptance of a seat in the House ot Representatives of the Twenty- Third Congress of the United States, and to furnish i herewith, the evidence of eligibility required. I The peculiar circumstances attending this fresh mark ; of public favour, and the highly flattering manner in i which it has pleased my fellow-citizens to bestow it, i call tor acknowledgments on my part, as sincere as they i an, profound. i Proud to be so chosen the Representative of such a i people, I should be too proud of that distinction, were I it not tor the consciousness of my own inability to re- 1 present them as I wish, and they deserve. i That indeed is a task to which few arc equal. A 1 fail ure to perforin it therefore, may escape reproach, 1 and he borne with philosophy. But it is less easy to i endure the mortification of perceiving that they derive little advantage from my presence in their public coun cils, and none at all commensurate with my labors and anxieties. Were it otherwise, untroubled by aspirations after personal distinction, and well content to be ob scurely useful, every sacrifice of health, fortune and re pose would he regarded by me merely as an ordinary tribute ot gratitude, to the unwavering constancy of my generous and indulgent countrymen. In the ab. sence of this consolation, words only cannot sufficient ly express my sense of that kindness which accepts good intentions instead of deeds, and regards integrity of pur pose as an apology for error. If it were possible to impart, or even adequately to describe, the ernotionsth.it throb in the bosom of a pub. lie servant, whose fellow-citizens magnify his merits, while they palliate his faults—cheer him in every strug gle and in every trial sustain him—l persuade myself that a still stricter sympathy would unite the Represen. tative and his constituents. Their material reliance in creasing with a right understanding of each other’s feel, ings, would be matured by time into that just and man ly confidence which inspires and rewards public virtue, while it softens the asperities of political controversy, and recalls in the midst of party conflicts the charities and courtesies of private life. I am, sir, very respectfully, your Excellency’s most obd’t. humble serv’t. RICHARD HENRY WILDE. To His Excellency Wilson Lumpkin, Governor of Georgia, <tc. &tc.” THE VEXED RIEMION. We copy the following article from the Richmond En quirer m *th pleasure. From the re-election of Gen. Jack, son, and the policy of hisadministration, for the next four years, we anticipate the final adjustment of all the dis. ferences which the Protective System has created. It is true that South-Carolina may attempt to nullify the Union, to raise an army, to form a separate government, and to declare war against the other twenty.three states; but it will be an attempt; for when she will find herself alone —yes, alone—reason may again preponderate in her councils, and the returning good sense and patriotism of her people, may preserve the state from civil discord, &, the Union trem dissolution. Then, the prime movers of this revolutionary and jacobinical faction, whose intent is personal aggrandizement and the subversion of our con federated government, will receive that punishment which all demagogues, in the true sense of the word, and all perturbators of the public peace.so richly deserve. These factionists will stretch every nerve, and exert all their influence, in order to produce a separation from fh c Union, for they arc well aware, that their reputation is blasted forever, that however sincere their repentance may one day be for the evils their inordinate ambition will have produced, the people of the U. and probably the people of South-Carolina themselves, can never place confidence in men who have attempted to bring this great confederated republic to total destruction. FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER OF NOV. 16. A PRO.IET. It may be within the recollection of the reader, that on the 6th inst. we published an article from the Charleston papers, containing an extract ot a letter Irom .Mr. Litfell, of Philadelphia, to Gen. Hayne, under date of the 23.1 of October. It seems that Mr. L. who is a strong advocate ot Free Trade, repaired to Washington “as soon as the President had returned from his journey, to ascertain from himself and from the Secretary ot the Treasury, whether there was in reality a hope for redress ot the grievances which are more strongly resented b> the south, but which press with equal weight upon us.’ Mr. L. says, he found the President “ tally icith the South upon the general principle, and ready and willing to car ry it into effect with as little delay as a prudent caution against precipitate changes will admit.” Mr. L. adds: “To the Secretary of the Treasury, I shewed the pro ject ofa sincere patriot, for the permanent settlement ot this question, upon a basis which I think ought to be sat iefactory to both parties—and in supporting ichrch the advocates of Free Trade would compromise no constitu tional principle. Without reservation he expressed his entire approbation of the principle upon which it was founded.” Anxious to know upon what terms this vexed question might be settled in the opinion of Mr. L. and particularly amidst the storm which seems gathering from South- Carolina, we took the libeity of addressing aline to him, requesting some informa ion upon the projet he had sub mitted. He has been kind enough to make the following reply—which we lay before our readers for their con sideration. TO THE EDITORS OF THE ENQUIRER. Dear Sirs —l have received your letter ot the 6th, and very gladly avail myself of the opportunity ot offering to the public, under such favourable auspices, a plan tor set. tling the controversy which has led so many good men, in all parts of the country, into the sin ot despairing of the Republic. The friends of Free Trade and the true American Sys tem, in the Middle and Eastern Suites, have,through the long storm, looked to the south for their ablest pilots. Surely these will not desert their posts, now that the clouds are breaking and the wind changing. The good ship, the Constitution, is sound yet, and will carry us all safe into port—and although we cannot sail so fast as we wish, we shall get into smooth water sooner it we “don’t give up the ship,” than by’ taking to the long-boat. A new Tariff, to be free from constitutional objections, should ultimately and certainly returned to the revenue scale ; and even in its progress to that state, should not rest upon a preference of one kind of industry to others. And yet there are strong reasons why the change from the present system should be gradual. The following is a sketek of the projet alluded to in my letter to Gen. Hayne, through the Charleston Pat riot : To reconcile, ifit be possible, the contradictory diffu cullies—to avoid giving up the principle for which the South contends, and yet to avoid sudden change, it is proposed now to enact. That on the first of January, 1833, all duties higher than 15 percent, ad valorem, be reduced by one sixth of the excess over 15 por cent. That outlie first of January, 1834, they be further reduced by the same amount —and so be reduced from year to year, till at the end of five years there shall be no duty higher than 15 per cent. Provided, That this reduction shall not take effect up on the produce or manufacture of any European nation, which will not admit the produce and manufactures of the United States at corresponding duties. That the President of the United States be requested to send a copy' of this act to all ministers of the United States, with instructions to lay the same before the peo ple or courts to which they are sent. Advantages of this plan : It will reslore peace to the South, for there is no con stitutionnl objection to it. It puts the true American System forth to the world, suspended in its full operation only by the refusal of other nations to reciprocate w'ith us. Although it says nothing about the “ protecting policy” —it yet gives five years, by positive law, to the manutac tirrers —and a contingent further delay, which they may think of considerable importance. In the mean time a decreasing Tariff is unfavourable to the accumulation of large stocks offoreign goods. For my own part, I should rather omit the proviso, as inconsistent wnth the principle upon which the doctrine of free trade rests :—but I have introduced it, as the only means I could think of, by which the advocates of the Tariff can be constitutionally conciliated. It cannot be long now before the full policy of the ad ministration upon the subject will be officially declared— and in the mean time 1 congratulate yon upon the report (confidently stated hero) that any nullifying act by our friends in South Carolina, will leave time for the action of Congress. lam, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, E. LITTELL. Philadelphia, 10th November, 1832. \ORTIKAKOM.\A. On Monday the 19th instant, the Legislature met at the residence of the Governor, in Raleigh, and both houses were organized. In the Senate, William D. Moseley, was elected Speaker, and Lo”is U. Henry, was elected Speaker of the House of Commons. O . the same day, Gov. Stokes transmitted the annual message. As relates to his having been appointed by the President a commissioner to treat with the Indians, ic. he says: “ Having been appointed by the President of the U- States, a Commissioner to treat with the Indians, and for other purposes, I have thought it my duty to accept the appointment, inasmuch as the peaceable settlement and location ot the Indians removing beyond the Missis, sippi, is a matter of great importance to the U. States, and not less so to North-Carolina ; especially, as regards the removal of that portion ot the Cherokee nation now residing within the limits of this State. It is known to many of you, that these Indians have for a long time been orderly and peaceable, and their conduct has not made it necessary for the Legislature of North-Carolina to extend the laws of the State over the Territory they occupy, or in any manner to interfere with their con cerns, except for the purposes of protection. They de serve the fostering care ot the General Government, and I have no doubt will receive it,” GOLD AND LAND LOTTERIES. Drawings of the 2ls<, 22d and 23d November. Gold Loltcry. BURKE.

In a late London periodical, we find a sens’- blc, well written ariicle, addressed to the jim.,- ilo members of “ the divine art,” from which we have culled the following morsels of admonitory wisdom, for the benefit of the profession. There is much good sense in some ofthe Inn’s. 1. The great tests of medical ability are no. lemnity of mien, and mysteriousness of manner. Gravity is to the face of a physician what plnti na is to the baser metal—a cheap covering, which gives currency to things of small value. Therefore seldom smile, or if you do, let it he after the fashion of Cassius; dullness is par donahle, but mirth is a misprision of light be havior. 2. The coat and not the college makes the Doc’or; a customary suit of solemn black is in dispensable to an M. D. ; leave brown coats and buff waistcoats to apothecaries. No coat is s'* fatal to a physician as a blue, except an old one which was o. ce black. 3. When you have taken a house, and put a brass plate on the door, you cannot do better than travel for seven years. At your return, you will probably find that no one bus enquired for you, which must be consolatory to your feelings, in asmuch as it will show you that you have lost nothing by your absence. 4. Having familiarized people with yourname, it behoves you then to give it notoriety; there fore lose no time in gelling into print. You can not lay oui your money to better advantage than publishing a pamphlet on any popular subject. 5. The great majority of mankind arefWs by that large portion you are to live; therefor® mystify your patien’s. When you talk to them let it be in King Cambyscs’vein. The earsofthe million are easily captivated, & they have natw* ally a religious veneration for any thing they do not understand. 6. Never give a direct answer to a patient s question, or commit yourself by entering in lo explanation with his friends. To the sick tw° you cannot put too few ques ions; to the re lives you can never give too few replies. 7. Beware of that foil y of young physicinns, the disposition to give an unfavourable prognos is; an unlucky shake of the head has frighten ed many a patient to death, and the declaration of danger has lost many a practitioner the conn dence of the family. It becomes the doctor » talk of the perils of the case only when the pa tient has recovered. 8. The great art of a physician is to gain 16 confidence of his patient; and for that purpose his first effort should be, to inspire him " hope. It is not a hesitating manner or a m---- ancholy mien that is calculated to raise’ ? drooping spirits of the sick. To work mirac- 5 in chronic maladies, it is only needful that’--, patient should have faith in his physician. the maladies incident to humanity arise from - * diminution of nervous energy, and any violet” exercise of the faculties of volition is attend 03 by at least a temporary increase of that imp a ' r ‘ ed power, a sudden renovation of the vis med^ a ' trix naturae. 9. Never refuse a fee from any person who u able to give one, in order that you may net 01 have occasion to take one from a man who'* too poor to pay it. It matters not how mercen ary you are accounted by the rich, so u you are merciful to the poor.
