I used to think that ns milch ol tint true spirit ol '7O poi vailed llic southern stales, ns was to bn found in any oilier suction ol the country ot tho saina extent.

But lam now hall persuaded, llml they have the advantage of ns hero tno. When they considered themselves wronged by General Jackson, they hold meetings by scores and hundreds —they lorwariled wpiru od remonstrances—sent off committees to h.-m to demand redress—;lnnoinicod him— 1 ■abused him—and sumo even went so far as to 1 speak of open resistance to luh aullioriiy. When the abolitionists were openly resis ted by their own neighbors anil countrymen; thoir friends rallied to their aid, and made common causu with them, and soon bore down all opposition at home. Not long ago one of tins incendiary gang resolved to establish an abolition press in a vinvo-hoiclmg' slate, 'i'|,o citizens of flic place which he selected for Ins operations, remonsirated with him; lint ho wav unyield- j ing, and they had no alternalivo but to des troy tho press; tho owner tired upon them, killed one or two, mid wus himself killed in ( return.

The North sees this, and with her accu«iom> od zeal for her interests, she tleods Congress with politic us anil remonstrances agnnsi ihe admission of Texas into tho Union.

[rnini oca coiiUKseoNDK-ir.] WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 1833. In I he. House of Representatives, die resolution offered by Col. Dawson of Georgia, calling on the Secretary of War for information in relation lo the condition of the Cherokee Indiana, and the probability of the tiealy passed hy the last Con gress, being earned into effect, was I alien up to day ; and gave rise to an animated, but some what desultory conversation. Mr. Wise took occasion lo comment in severe let ins, on the con | duct of the General Government, am! pronounced the treaty lo bo no treaty ai all, inasmuch as it had not hoen acceded to hy the Chorokees. Mr. I Hulsey replied with some warm'll to the allusions of Mr. Wise; and seemed to suppose (bat the latter hod referred, in reprobation, to the rout so ol Georgia. 1 did nol so understand Mr. Wise He certainly paid some high compliments to the j ! character oi iho - horokces in general, and some j iol the more distinguished men among them in | ! particular; hut he made no comparison of an in- i I vulious charae or between them and the people ol ! Georgia. Mr. Ilolsey, therefore, appeared lo me. j \ to tepel an a lack which was not made. .Mr. V\ isc, in reply, disclaimed having made ■ any relleclion upon ibo course of Georgia—on Iho | conlraiy, he had paid a compliment to the peo. | pie ol that Stale. But, at the same time, he did eulogize in high terms, the character mid conduct of the Cherokees; and thought it was no refloo j lion upon any man or sol of men, to say that they | were no betier than such a man as John Ross, j and o her Cherokee* like him. Mr. Glascoik urged roe adoption of the rcsolu i lion, in a very animated manner. ! Mr. Dawson, in reference to the re narks of I Mr. Ilolsey, sard ho had not understood that Mr ; Wise had made any attack upon Georgia, lie | tune his testimony also, to lire character of the | Cherokees, as the most enlightened, and most i moral tribe of Indians in the Cnion. He depie : caicd the introduction of topic* unconnected with i the objects ol hi* resolution; and urged its adop ! lion as necessary to give the people of Georgia, ami i f the whole country, the information on rhissubject, which they ought to possess Mr. Everett of Vermont, said he wai willing | that the resolution should lie adopted—but he ivirht d the inquiry to (50 farther ihSn nai propoa ed. The resolution c.f Mr. Dawson, ha Slid 1 might edicit all the people of Georgia wanted to know, in regard tt. the mode of executing the treaty : but he wanted to know also whether it ought to he executed at all? He, therefore, I moved on' amendment, to request the President to communicate all the correspondence that hnd taken place in reference to thu negotiation with the Cherokees. He said his purpose was to as certain whether the treaty had received the vane, than 11 that nation Mr. Everett loot occasion to refer to the treaty, and the ci.cumslnnces under which it had been entered into. Ho denounced it as covering the Government with infamy, from which this House ought to shield the country. Mr. Wise made uome rcrnaiks in a strain somewhat similar—but not so excited. He said du re was not a constitutional lawj er in lire who had examined the documents, that would say the 'Chcrokces had ratified the treaty, Ho would bo willing to leave the question to the member* from Georgia, and said lie was convinc ed that they would not bold it as a treaty. The treaty, lie considered, was most oppressive and fraudulent, Mr. Dawson again deprecated the introduction of these irrelevant topics; and asked -Mr. E. to wididiaw his 'amendment. That member would nit consent, however; and the question was then taken. Mr. Everett’s amendment was rejected: And Mr. Davvsou’s original resolution was subse quently | ussed, j Mr. Wise ottered a resolution fur proposing an j aiiienhimml to the Constitution, so as to prohibit I ’.he appointment o. members of Congress to of fice. Upon this a most animated and inteiesling j discussion arose ; which must he noticed in my 1 next, —11 not having heen closed at the time it j was necessary to send off tills despatch.

The petition continues by remarking that though the signers constitute but a small por t on in regard to locality and numerical val ue, they do not forget that they tiro Mexicans possessed of rights guaranteed to them by! the laws, and that they unite their voices to those ol their fellow citizens who have protes ted agn nsl the decrees recently passed, which form m effect the constitution of the country, to demand their abolition and the restoration of the federal government of 1824.

On the dial Dec. 1837, Mr. James M. Face, aged a little more than Iwenly twoyears.

But there remains a liule circle whose ties more tender have been severed. The weeping wife and fatherless daughter feels mote than all, that one who was truly devoted and affectionate has been taken from ‘'earths tumbles.” For three or fnr years Mr. Pace’s mind bad been turned to t lie subject of religion, and for some lime .previous lo his death Jie-cxpreesed evidence of conversion and a full hope of a happy immortality. A short lime before his death tic became a number of the j Methodist Church, blessed are the dead which j died in the lord from henceforth; yea s.iilh the spirit, that they may rest from their labours, and their works do follow litem. From the Norfolk Herald, Dec. 20. Died, on Saturday night last Mr. Peter Single ton, aged 3'3 years. Descended from one of tlie oldest, wealthiest, and most respectable families in our neighborhood, ami left almost the sole possessor of the vast fam- I ily estate, the subject of this notice found himself ! on the day when ihe law allowed him lo enter up on it. n possession of a property w hich could not 1 jbe estimated far sho tol 5300,000. Unfortunate | ly, though no hommon pains had been bestowed | on his etluca ion, and be had manifested no deft | cioocy of mind or derelict! an of principle, he was | left to bis own inclinations and propensities, ! which led him to idle pleasures and dangerous j courses and associations which laid the lounda lion of his rniri. Ho was courted, Haltered, and caressed by Ihe arlful and designing, who knew bis weakness, and sought to lake advantage ol it. It is needless to fitter into particulars. In two or three years the rat e course arffl tlie gamingtable swept his large o-la e, and left him a helpless de pendant on a few friends; but habits of intempe rance, which he It id acquired by bis associations at the gaming table, and In which he now indul ged to a greater excess than ever, lodrown the re colic lion of the effects of his folly, soon Unfitted him Ur any other society than that which is found in the lowest resorts ofdiunkenness. We wocld not unnecessarily wound any feeling of tilfinily bul the lesson lie has left lo the rising generation, to warn them against the snares and pitfalls which beset their paths in the pursuit of vicious pleasures, is too useful to be thrown away. On Saturday he was conveyed by pii ate charity, in a stale of itisen.-i ilily, to the almshouse, and the same night his wretched existence was tennU na'ed, **..
