BBS* CHRQN tCLB AND SEN TIN EL. ~ AUttUSTiL 4 Friday Morning, Jan. ly. Messrs Park and Rogers, Editors of the Fed eral Union, publish in their last pap6r, their cer tificate of having secured the copy right of the liunkley eftse, and caution all others against vio laling it. In the mean time the Standard of Union is publishing the testimony. We should bo glad to know if that publication by the latter paper is an infringement of the copy right of Messrs Park and Rogers, because wc design pub lishing the testimony fro n the Standard ourselves Wc have already given the British version of the the destruction of the steamboat Cdroline ; and we now publish the account of that transac tion given under oath by her commander and nine others, who were on board of her at the time: atk of New York, Niagara co., ss. ~'' N i Gilman Appleby, of the city of Du Halo, being sworn, says that he left the port of Buffalo on the morning of the 29th hist., in the steamboat Car oline, owned by William Wells of Buffalo, and bound for Schlosser, upon the east side of the Niagara river, and within the U. S. That this deponent commanded the said Caroline, and that she was cleared from Buffalo with a view to run ' between said Buffalo and Schlosser, carry passen gers, heigh., &c. That this deponent caused the said Caroline to bo landed at Black Rock on her way down ; and that, while at Black Rock, this deponent caused the American flag to he run up; and that, soon after leaving Black Rock harbor, a volley of musketry was discharged at the Car oline fVoin the Canada shore, hut without injury. That the said Caioline continued her course dawn the Niagara river Unmolested, and landed outside of certain scows or boats attached to Navy {sland, where a number of pa'sscngcis disembarked, and, as this deponent supposes, certain articles of freight Were landed. That from this point the Caroline ran to Schlosser, arriving there at three o'clock in the afternoon; that, between this time and dark, the Caroline made two trips to Navy Island, landing as before. That, at about six o’clock in the evening, this deponent caused the said Caroline te be landed at Schlosser, and made fast with chains to the dock at that place. That the crew and officers of the Caroline numbered ten, and that, in the course of the evening, twen ty-three individuals, all of whom were citizens of the U. S., came on board of the Caroline, and requested Ibis deponent and other officers of the boat to permit them to remain on board during the night, as they Were unhide to get lodgings at the tavern near by; these requests were acceded to and the persons thus coming on board retired to rest, as did also all oflho crew and officers of the Caroline, except such as were stationed to watch during the night. That, about midnight, this deponent was informed by one of the watch that several boats filled with men were making to wards the Caroline from the river, and Ibis depo nent immediately gave the alariti, and before he was able to reach the deck, the Caroline was hoarded by somo'/O or SO men, all of whom were armed. That they immediately commenced a warfare with fnuskets, sword and cutlasses, upon the defenceless crow and passengers of the Caro line, under a fierce cry of G—d damn them, give them no quarters; kill every man; fire! fire! That the Caroline was abandoned without resist ance, and the only clfirt made by either of the crew or passengers seemed to be to escape slaught er. That this deponent narrowly escaped, hav ing received several wounds, none of which, how\ ever, are of a serious character. That immedi ately after the Caroline fell into the hands of the ■vanned force who boarded her, she was set on lire, cut loose from the dock, was towed into the cur rent of the river, there abandoned, and soon af ter descended the Niagara Falls; that this depo nent has made vigilant search after the individ uals, thirty-three in number, who are known to have been on the Caroline at llio time she was boarded, and twenty-one only arc to bo found, one of whom, to wit, Amos Durfee of Bullalo, was found dead upon the deck, having received a shot from a musket, the hull of which penetra ted the hack paftof the head; and came out at the forehead. James H. King and Capt. C. F. Harding were seriously, though not mortally wounded. Several others received slight wounds. The twelve individuals who arc missing, this deponent has no doubt, were cither murdered upoh the steamboat, or found a watery grave in the catardet of the falls. And this deponent fur ther days, that immediately after the Caroline tVas got into the current oflho stream, and aban doned, as before staled,beacon lights were discov ered upon the Canada shore, near Chippewa; and after sufficient time had elapsed to enable Ihb boats to reach that shore, this deponent dis tinctly heard loud and vociferous cheering at that point. That this deponent has no doubt that the individuals who boarded the Caroline wore a part sis the British forces now stationed at Chippewa. GILMAN APPLEBY.

There were, as usual, piles of pelt lions for abolition of slavery in the District o Columbia, and in the territories of the United Slates ; and of remonstrances agairist the annex ation of Texas to the Union ; all of which wen quietly laid ob the table without any disturbance i here was a short discussion upon the question of referring a memorial front the Native Ameri can Association of this city, praying for a change t *" our Naturalization laws—which was finally referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. [ Mr. EVERETT of Veimont presented a me morial horn John Ross and others, in regard to the Cherokee Treaty; Mr. E. having wished to make some remarks on the subject, the memorial was ordered to lie over, lie then staled briefly the contents of it. The petitioners represented that the Government of the United States had ratified a treaty, in which the Cherokee Nation was named as a party—that that Nation, howev er, had authorized no person to conclude such a treaty oh their part —but on the contrary, it was concluded on the authority of about 100 persons of the tribe, contrary to the known will and re monstrances of the Cherokee nation—that they had applied to the Executive for relief from the proper treaty-making power—that all relief had been refused—that now they were informed hy the Executive, that the treaty would he enforced against them ; —and in the last resort, they had appealed to CongVcEii as the only power compe. tent to give relief. Mr. ADAMS presented a number of abolition petitions: and afterwards, a memorial from Ohio, j praying for the execution of the tenth article o 1 the Treaty of Ghent, which, it will be remember ed, refers to the abolition of tbo slave trade. The memorial was laid on the table. Mr. ADAMS then presented a petition praying lor the passage of a Dill to prevent the sale of freemen lorjail fees, which ho moved should bo referred (o the Commitleoou llio District of Co umbia, with instructions to report a Dill for the abolition of imprisonment for debt. The motion was agreed to. in the Senate, alter the customary morning business, Mr. Puchannnit called up the Dill re ported by the Committee on Foreign Relations, providing for the preservation of our neutral obli gations, The Dill imposes no penalty for for feiture, hut proposes to prevent the conveying of arms and munitions of war, by our citizens, to the insurgents in a conterminous country. Mr. Rugglcs of Maine, wished that some provisions should be incorporated for the protection of Maine. He alluded to the fact, that despatches have lately been received by the British Minister here, giving the final nnswer of his Government to the last proposition from the American Exec utive, relative to the Noith'Eastern Douudary. If this answer should not be satisfactory, said Mr. Rugglcs, then Maine ought to be allowed to pro tect her own territory. It might he proper to de fine the line, so that her people might not be tc r garded as invading the Dating Dominions, when, in (act, they were only defending their own ter rilory. Q: v Mr. BUCHANAN was opposed to mixing of the boundary question with the bill. He was aware also, from high authority that the ncgocia tion respecting the boundary was now approach ing an cud, —that tho last answer of the British government had been gtccived; in this stage he did not wish to lake the matter out of tho hands of the Executive. He would resist, therefore, the introduction in this bilj of any provision relating to the boundary; it would only embarrass this measure. Tho bill was then by general consent post poned till to morrow. The Senate thou proceeded to the considers- , of private bills. To-morrow tho committee of Finance w ill re port to the Senate the Sub-Treasury bill, em bracing a special deposite system, and certain provisions regarding a set of new officers to bo called Receivers’ Gericral ! You may rely upon this information; I have it from a source entitled to the highest credit. The city is full of rumours again about resig nations in the Cabinet. It is now slated confi dently that Mr. Dickerson will resign the post of Secretary of the Navy. A great effort is ma king to give the place to Mr. Muhlsnburgh of Penn. Mr. Jones of N. C. is also talked of again for it. Tho Piesident it is believed would he glad to gel rid of Woodbury, and Kendall, also. M. From the New York Herald, Jan 14. Three Days Later from England. The packet ship Wellington, Captain Chad wick arrived in port from London, yesterday morning. She brings further news from Lon don, our latest date from which is that of Satur day, tlcc. Oth, for which we have to return our acknowledgements to Captain Chadwick. A great mass of petitions have been daily pro-, sented to the House of Lords, praying for the ab olition of imprisonment for debt. The parties 1 petitioning seem to have a strange notion of the • effect of the bill now Under consideration fur that purpose—one Mr. Charles Pitt having prayed their lordships to pass a temporary act, so that 1 such persons as wore then suffering imprison , merit, might be able to enjoy their Christmas fes ■ livities. , It is contemplated to reduce the postage on let ters in the United Kingdom, r Lord Brougham has presented a great many and numerously signed petitions, for the imme s diate abolition of slavery and slavery appren -2 ticeships in the British West India Islands. a In the House of Commons, on the Bth Decem ber, tbo Chancellor of the Exchequer, (Mr. Spring Rice,) moved for a selected committee to consider how far the existing pensions on the Civil List should bo continued consistently with economy, justice, and the national faith. Sir. Robert Peel in opposition to the motion, moved a scries of resolution, to the effect that pen sions once granted, should be considered as per petual during the lives of the beneficiaries. 'The Riglil Honorable Baronet’s concluding resolu i- thin was to the effect. r / “That finder these circumstances, ii is the op / inion of this House, regulations having been us. tablished in respect to tho grant of future pensions and precautions having been taken in respect to \ the rovisal or discontinuance of them ou new set- Dements of the Civil List, it is advisable now to make such provision as shall enable tbo Crown, *' if it shall so think fit, to continue those pensions jf; which were continued by the Crown on the d j accession of his late Majesty, or which were c -1 granted by his Majesty.” I After a long and animated debate,a divisoin took re i place, when the votes were announced as,for the c ' Minis trial committee 2!)5; for Sir R. Peel’s rt.o- AUGUSTA, «EO„ SATURDAY MOKKIIVG JAMARY 30, 1838. 1 lotions 233, given ministers a majority of 62. An this was a lest question, is shews that the minis terial majority on ail parly questions will maitain that amount. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has split a circular letter to all the recipients of pensions, requesting to he informed of the circumstances under which they were granted, and the claihis and services for which they were granted. Mr. Gruncis'er, a Spanish correspondent of the London Morning Post, who had been arrested by General Espartero us a spy, and thrown into u dungeon at Logrono, has been liberated, hut or dered to quit the peninsula. It appears that when William the 4th promul gated the Hanoverian Constitution in 1833, the present King, then Duke of Cumberland', 'protes ted against that measure, as subversive of the le gal rights which had descended to the Monarch, and should inalienably he handed down to his successors. From the N. Y. Herald Jan. 18. Highly Important from Boston, Albany, ami the Niagara Frontier. Wc have received numerous despatches from our correspondents, from Albany, Boston, and the Niagra Frontier, giving further accounts of the progress of events in all those quarters. Annexed will ho found the letter of our Buf falo ■orrespondent, descriptive of the stale of I things in that quarter. I File war has began in good earnest at Navy I Island, and, from the aspect on the frontier, it j would seem that not even General Scott will he I abb to stay it. The conduct of Colonel M'N'ah J has only given fresh fuel to the borderers. About 200 regulars started from Albany on Friday last lor the frontier. Great excitement still exists there, and lire issue is extremely doubilful. From Albany the news is highly important. All the Bunks in Albany have resumed specie payments. Singular rumors oxis , that the men forming the Regency, have all failed and assigned over their property. In the Assembly,Mr. Willis Hall has made a motion to open the auction business. Excellent! go on! From Boston, we learn that a terrible quarrel his been emitted tlmohg the Associated Banks. The Commonwealth’s Bank has closed its doors, and several other banks ate expected to follow suit. Groat excitement in financial matters ex ists in Boston—particulars tomorrow. What are wo coining to! Blii alo, Sunday evening, Jan. 7th, 1838. Bear Biir.—Few events of any importance have transpired within the last forty-eight hours. General orders have been received from Albany, providing fur arms ami supplies for the militia, a considerable force of which is to ho drafted. Guards arc posted along the American linos, and every thing oh tills side remains quiet. Consid erable excitement still exists, which has neon in creased by the hold avowal of the burning of tho Caroline by McNabb, and the lying affidavits, which have been gut up to cover the outrage. I, enclose the documents. Every body is astonish ed at the face lie puls upon it—but perhaps it is his best policy, lie pretended at first to he sor ry—now he glories in the act, and attempts to dcfqnd It. I’ublic meetings have been held at Detroit, Cleaveland and other cities of the West, as well as throughout Western New York, and men, plovisionsand munitions raised for the Patriots, Col. Sutherland, from Navy Island, attended one at Cleaveland, and at Inst advices was engaged in raising volunteers, and chartering a steamboat for a “squirrel hunt,” the booty of which is to he “3110 acres in land and $lOO in silver.” Navigation Continues open on the lake. A schooner arrived today from Cleaveland with a cargo of Hour.—l never saw such April weather in January, this morning wo had a beautiful shower, with thunder ! Sir John Colbtihi litis nrHved at Chippewa, and lias probably assumed the command. The regulars come in very slow—l begin to doubt if they will come at. all. For thi:ty-si* hdllrs a constant cannonading has been kept up from the royalists, which has not been returned. Shells and Congreve rockets /Were thrown all night, and it was a splendid sight to see the. Rocket's red glare, Bombs bursting in air— and doing no sort of damage to the Patriots, ex cept keeping them on the qni t dve. 1 use the word Patriots, because others do; though between you and me, pirates would do as well, provided they should he unsuccessful. But if the expedition succeeds, all who are engaged in it, and don’t get shot, will be covered with ei or y- The force on Navy Island is now estimated at from 1000 to 1500—some say 2000. The smal lest number is nearest the truth. The Steamer Barcelona has been got out of the harbor to day and fitted up to lake the place of the Caroline, —The U. S. Marshal is trying to prevent men and arms from going to the Island, but ho cannot succeed. No frontier force can or will prevent their receiving aid from this side— such aid, at least, as wc have a right to give them. A regiment of artillery has just arrived in town. The cars tonight have been delayed—so I have no news by them. Yours truly. from the Charleston Courier. MR. AUSTIN’S SPEECH. We have received a pamphlet copy of an excellent speech, in defence of Southern institutions, delivered in F'aneuil Hull, Boston by James T. Austin, Attorney-General, of Massachusetts, at a meeting of citizens, ctillbd at the instance of Ur. Channing, and other abolition fanatics. It affords us high gratili. cation to number among our champions one occupying so distinguished a post in the ser vice of Massachusetts, and to find huh boldly proclaim n ", from the very cradle of Ameri can Independence, the constitutional rights of the South. The meeting which Mr. Aus tin addressed, assembled for tlie purpose of urging the existing crusade against tlie South, under the pretext of canopizing as a martyr in tlie cause of the freedom of the press, the fanatic i.ovejuy, who had by violence provo ked a violent death, at Alton, in tlie State of Illinois. Alter some preliminary femarks, , Mr. A. proceeds to detail the particulars con nected with the career and death of Lovejoy. lie shews how that misguided man, in viola- I lion ot the law of Missouri, a slave holding state, undertook to establish there an abolt • tion press, “the effect and tendency of which, in the judgment ot the white people of that • slate, was to excite insurrection and murder, and by what is termed a moral suasion, to ■ produce a terrible war of bloodshed and des ■ traction” —how, being driven from Missouri, s he merely cror-scd over to Alton, on the oth > er side ot the Mississippi, m the rion-siavchol • dnig state of Illinois, where there was no law 1 to punish him fur inciting the slaves of Mis > S ouri to rise against their masters, and whence s be might discharge into her bosom the en -5 Venomed shaft —and how tho people of Alton c true to their constitutional duly, and consid ering this an extreme case, put down his i abolition paper, which in their judgment was "violating the principles ot religion, morubty i & order; exciting a servile war, under the guise -of freedom, and preaching murder, in the i name of Christianity.” The sequel of Love joy’s fate, we give in tho speaker's own 1 words—the case has been for sonic time be > fore the public, but we have never yet seen 1 the details so satisfactorily narrated. “Another attempt was made to set up the paper. A new press was procured. It is a said it was paid tor by some abolition society,' • and the story was believed there, tut how true it was, he could not say. The people declared it should not be used. It was placed in a ware-house tor sale keeping, and a riiob ’ surrounded the building and demanded that it should be given up, considering it as an in stnlaient for murder—a sword in,the hands of a crazy man. The mob surrouuded the j hodse and demanded it. Lovejoy mid his friends stood on their legal rights, and defen ded their property. A guu was tirst fired from the budding, and a man by the name of > Bishop was first killed; but as wo are hot called here to sympathize for him, hi’o death J passes for nothing. The Crowd became in tonated at the sight of blood, shod by a min ister of the gospel of peace. They surround the building aVul tlircatert to burn ill one man • mounts liie ladder to reach the root'; Lovejoy conics outside , and deliberately aims his mus. ket to take ibis frian’s life. At that moment guns arc tired ul Lovejoy. The man who was on the ladder was saved, and Lovejov was shot, Ho returned to his companions, fell and expired 110 resorted to violence and lie felt by violence. He excited the pas sions of men, by conduct unwise, impolitic, rash, extravagant and unchristian; and the consequence of his conduct was as might have been anticipated. Now, said Mr. A. wishing at all limes and on all occasions, that my abhorrence of mobs should be distinctly understood, and moaning in no degree to countenance or excuse their proceedings, I ask my fellow citizens if it may not bo suidot this man, in the language of scripture, that he died as a fool dielh! His clerical character iv no palliation of his conduct. J have us little sympathy for a minister of the gospel who is found, gun in hand, lighting in a bruit with a mob, as 1 have for one who leaves his pulpit to mingle in the debates ol u popular assembly, in matters that do not concern his sacred office. In either situation In: is' Marvellously out of place." Tho orator then rebukes the fount c portion of his audience for ilieir misplaced sympathy, and appeals to them whether the people of Illinois and Missouri may not charge them with having been instigated by the same pas sions, and with having yielded to the like infirmity of human nature? He tells them that “Wherever the abolition fever rugs, there are mobs and mtirder,” and rctflaitlds them that lie would soon be called on, “in his offi cial capacity, to try a man, indicted for mur der, growing out ot this very spirit, which was in operation at Alton.” He recalls the period when British oppression goaded their ancestors to resistance, and shews tiow when those noble champions ot American freedom found their prayers and supplications in vain, that there was no law to protect them, no middle path between ruin and resistance,they “look their protection under the security ot their own bands, unit marching down from ttiis Hull —on uidcrly mob —poltred the dis gusting instrument of tlieir degradation iiitu the sea.” '‘So” continues lie, “will the peo ple ot Missouri claim to do, when tlieir lives are threatened by these abolition conspirators. They will tell you they will cull on the (Jod of IHaven, as your lathers did. and with bis favor will defend themselves. It is the na tural operation of human passion; vvlicu stihiu iuted and goaded to extremes, to pdtir out its resistance in ebullitions of ungoverned wrath. Lament it us wo may. Such is the constitution of mankind, and all the preach ing of all the zealots of parly will not pro duce a change.” The following passage is admirably pul with all the native force oflrulh. “Satisfy a people that their lives are in danger, by the instrumentality of the press, injudiciously and inlenrperately operating on the minds of slaves, gW<. them reason to fear the breaking out of a servile war, in which tbeir wives and ilaugn ters aie to be the victims of that brutal ferocity that knows how to add horrors to death, and if you cart keep sdcH a people calm and tranquil, and quiet, obedient to the restraints of any law that can be made, or to any power that can en force it, you must first beat out of them every vestige of humanity, and make thorn more abject than slavery itself. “It is the folly of the Abolition party that they will notlearu this great truth.” The speaker next tells his audience that to sympathise with those who are mobbed, for their own rashness and spirit ol mischief, is not tire way to prevent mobs for the lulurc and preserve the peace of society and lire majesty of the laws— declares moderation and forbearance to be the great duty of the times, and particularly calls “on the reverend gentleman, at whose application the meeting was dsSembled—if he illusl leave the I the appropriate sphere of a Minister of the gos- I pel, and mingle in the strifes of party —to teach 1 those great lessons of Christian moderation aud mildness, lilt fegard for other people’s rights and leelings, and that syrnpa'hy for the unfortunate condition of our free fellow-cltizeda hi other Slates, which arc the Hue doctrines of Christian benevolence and good will to all mankind.” Mr. Austin proceeds to arjruo that extreme 1 rights are not to be insisted upon by peaceable men ; that the liberty of speech and of the press are to be exercised with a due respect to other's , rights, anil under a deep sense of personal and • religious responsiblity and obligation not to abuse , it; that if the press be made an instrument to ex cite intemperate passions, it will create resistance f “such is lire primeval law of our nature and no earthly power can alter it”—that if the press be comes an incendiary to put the passions of man kind into a blaze, its conductors alone are to blame, if it perish in the conflagration it has ’ made; that an abolition press will always bo dc ' blroycd if c-ta Wished ih a slave-holding Stale or in ils borders ; and that we may execrate the ’ mob, but cannot wonder at ils outrage. ’ In hither illustration of the manly independence ’ of this true beaitcd son of the Union, and gallant ’ defender of the Constitution, wo take pleasure in ' mentioning that, in a note appended to bis speech > lie properly stigmatizes tho burning of the Catho ■ lie Nunnery, at Charleston, and tho omission ol • the Suite o make compensation for tho wanton / injury; andMjeclares that bo long "as the black - ened and battered wails of the Ursuline Convent 2 I stands by tho half raised monument cf Banker - I Hill, i, > «- Like a mildew’d ear, Blasting Us wholesome brother,’ I they wifi frown contemptuously on every attempt | we may nyakc to rebuke the violence of other peo ° | ole, or adifto.oisb them to respect the sanctity of • law,” We have devoted considerable space to ibis admirable and spirited defence of the Bouib and rebuke of her adversaries, but no more, wo trust, titan is due to the occasion and will prove in teresting to our readers. At a crisis like the present, when our abolition foes are plotting the ruin mid desolation of the fair fields of the South, and battering against the walls and pillars of the Union, it cannot be otherwise than gratifying to leant that the Attorney Genetal of Massachusetts has buckled on- the triple proof armour of reason, right and the Constitution, and nobly battled in lbs just cause and quarrel of tltn South.
