In the legislative caucus held at Thomas'i

occasion to inform the applauding assembly
that he himself is not a Frenchman. The
declaration, it seems to us, was scarcely cal
led for, as wc Hie quite sure that no one ever
charged the gentleman with having been either
born or educated in Pans,
If, however, i i hereafter enlitnaling tin

“Wh»t has lie done lor South Carolina'!" hut,
“Whore was he born?" It appears to us that
even m this case, Mr. Preston will scarcely
suffer by a comparison with ilia instruction
makers. Mr. Davie, their leader in the
House, we arc, informed, was born in Norih
Carolina. Mr. Khett and Mr. Calhoun wore
educated at Northern Colleges. Winch is

INSTRUCTIONS.
Mr. Johnston.—l send you for publica
tion tlio subjoined extract from the speech id'
the late lamented and highly respected Gov.
John Taylor, of our State, delivered in the
Senate of the United States, in favor of u
United States Bank, SiOtli Feb., IHJI. The
part extracted relates to instructions, and (lie
sentiments contained I recommend respect
fully to the uulico of Messrs. Albert lilioll,
F. W. Davie; and their 00-adjntors in our Le
gislature, ami to F. H. Elmore, 11. Barnwell
Khett, and their sub-Treusiiry associates in
Congress.
“1 cannot, as other gentlemen have hoSSlcd
they cun, pul my hand into my drawer, and
pull out the instructions hy which 1 , m to he
directed on tins important subject.
"The State of South Carolina is a very
large stockholder in some of her Slate Banks;
and if a sellish policy, contracted to the nar
row sphere of tim unique advantage m del.
Jars and cents of the Government of that
6tale, in contradistinction and disregard ol
the interests of the great body of her own ci
tixens, and the citizens ol the rest, of the
States in the Union, could have weighed a
1 moment with her Legislature, I too might
have been instructed. Lot me not be under
stood, Mr. President, ns drawing any compari
son between the conduct ol the Stale of South
Carolina and the conduct ol great and leading
• Stales who have acted otherwise; but 1 must
and will tell of the things that Ido know. I
rejoice, sir, that the State that 1 cornu from
has, m tins instance, been actuated hy that
magnanimity and palriolisw w inch on all bu
rner occasions has distinguished her conduct;
that neither selfish ness, nor parly rage, nor a
spirit of intolerance, has mducud her to comm
teract or embarrass the National Legislature,
in its pursuit of the great object of us insti
tution, the good of the whole.
"I hopu u will not bo considered as savor
■ mg of egotism, when i say, that my appoint
ment to the very honorable station I now hold
was unsolicilou by me. That my sentiments
on the subject now under consideration, had
been, by me, unequivocally espresssed at. the
last session of Congress, and wore well known
to those who appointed me;* nay, further, alter
my venerable and respected predecessor,
(Gen. Sumter,) hud resigned Ins seat hero,
and had also iloolincd his appointment for the
ensuing six years, pending the election of a
successor to linn, and whtn my name was la id
in nomination, a resolution was ofj'eicd, simi
lar to those which we haee htaul so much talk
about,proposing to instruct the Senators of
that Stale to oppose the renew al of the char
ter of the limit of the United Stales. This
resolution, us I am informed, lay on the Spea
ker’s table when the election was gone into.
I was elected, and the proposers ol the reso
lution bad not power or mllnenco enough to
raise it from the table on which it luy, and n
died still born at the end of the session!"
When tins venerable and noble.spirited old
gentleman was thus vindicating the title ol
hie State to ‘magnanimity and patriotism,'
and from * selfishness, party rage, and a spirit
of intolerance,’ in 1811, how little could he
supposed that, ol those most forward
in depriving her of tier title to these high at •
tributes m 1638, the most '.eaions would be
connected with him by the dost st lies ol af
finity 11 have employed the wouls .(/ and

it ißlbtMpirit of detraction, ii is but justice
to the'pre-eminence which Mr. Davie ha
quired, to make tlio efforts of any of ins no
complices in no otherwise remarkable than tor
ital and forwardn ss. It is tit in an, h a
• proceeding as the late Instruction K volu mu.-
that such a man should have preci deuce; In
was made for the occasion, and the occastoi
was made for him; and it was an apt no

J It afi'ords ns pleasure to copy trio following |
l article from the New Vork American. The
■' boat in question seems to bo perfecty well
adapted to (bo humane object lor which she
was built; and wo trust that the time is not
distant when all the ports on the coast will be
„ furnished by government with similar means
for Hie preservation of file in cases of ship
wreck or other marine disaster.—Ball. Amcr.
Launch of Life Boat. —On Saturday the
i fine life boat placed by private subscription at
Ilockaway, for the relief of llie shipwrecked,
II was for the first lime, pul into tlio ocean.
d Tina boat as many ofonr readers may re
>• ineinlior, was built soon after the disastrous
'’i wrecks of the Bristol and Mexico—mainly, it
n Is only justice to state, through the instrumeu
-0 tuhly of.l Blunt Esq , who look a warm inter
e est and an uclive part both in obtaining the
11 requisite (unds, and in superintending the con
’’’ strneltoii of the bout. It is now about 8
iiiouilis since she was completed, and with
all the necessary accessories, placed in a boat
, house opposite llie Pavillion on Rockaway
‘ beach.
0 On Saturday, some of the visiters at the
v Pavilion, among whom was Mr. Blunt, with
j the aid of several oftho experienced boatmen
’• of Rockaway, put this boat to the proof hy
le launching her into the surf, which though not
,e heavy was under llie intiueiice of a soulheast
v trly breeze of considerable power,
ic Hite went otl’in beautiful style—albeit that
0 several of Iho amateur oarsmen cut fantastic
ic tricks with lln ir oars. Enough of the o.xpe
of rienced stiitf however, was there to give iho
s- sufficient impulse, and she rode llie breakers
g. witli Iho buoyancy of an egg shell, and prov
v- ed as light on her steering oar and others, us
a boat of half her size. After pullinir out
some distance, the mast was stopped, and she
11 was tried under canvass. Having made these
1.1 preliminary experiments the party relumed lo
'I dinner, having engaged for mi I.afternoon ex
! cursion, a regular crew of Molls, HewUtts,
1 Riders, Cornells, and others, the immemorial
'J tenants and wreckers of Rockaway.
1 Accordingly at ,‘i I‘J o’clock Hie boat was
\ again iiiaiiiieil—but this time really manned—
l_ and she shot off through llie breakers as
. though it was smooth water, and careered
,[ owr the waves almost With the lightness and
I, speed el'u race boat. After a row of several
it-! miles, and another trail of her sailing
h | qualities, her head was again directed to
i. i the beach, and there, within the rollers, or
ul - breakers, every opportunity was sought of up
io : sotting her, if slu,- could be upset, but all to no
J, purpose. Whether bow on or broadside on,
a- she rode above it without taking iu a drop ol
■h j water, or losing her poise and was finally rim
e. | up high and dry, w.th the convictions of all
'• j on board, that manned with stout arms and
a j stout hearts, no weather should prevent tins

in .1 tress.

liin Benefit takes place place this evening. His
i choice of the melo drama of the Denouncer, or
1 the Seven Clerks and the Three Thieves, and
the farce of the Two Gregorios, ought to insure
r him a hurnper.
We are highly gratified at being able to say,
t . upon the authority ot a gentleman of this city,
y just returned from Ross’Landing, which place he
' left the early part of last week, that the rumor
h which wo published a few days ago, relative to
G the accident on hoard the steamboat Knoxville,
,( by which five hundred Cherokee Indians lost
e their lives, is entirely without foundation.
d Washington Hank Kobber Taken.
We learn by the N. O slips of I lie 14th, that
the police ol that city had succeeded in arresting
ir and committing an individual who calls himself
u H. 11. Uncles, who it is supposed is the robber of
~ the Rank of the Metropolis. Ho had been in
, that city hut a short time, and had distributed
| amongst females of bad reputation, articles of the
most costly description i among them a bracelet
r P ec uhar make, a very valuable fan, &c., all
i ot which were described in the advertisement
I. offering a reward for his apprehension. He is
1 now confined in jail in New Orleans, awaiting an
order from W ashington city.
Louisiana Elections.
1 he Ngw Orleans True American of the 14ih,
, speaking ot the elections, says that little addition"
al returns that can he relied,on, in respect to the
i election, hava been received. From Claiborne
wc have the certain knowledge of a majority of
! 135 for Roman! The result is us complete and
successful for the Whig cause as could he wished.
; !ho division of parlies will be about ten whigs
; to seven loco tocos in the Senate—probably 11
to 0, as Ouachita has not been heaul from fully.
In the House of Representatives there will he at
least 31 whigs to 17 loco locos and 3 conserva
tives. Returns have been received of the elec
tion of 2S whigs to 15 loco focos, and 2 neutrals.
Another Murder.
We leant by the Georgia Mirror, of the 14th,
that a murder was committed below Roanoke, on
the body of Mr. T. H. Corbett, by James Tern,
plcton, and a Mr. Hay.
, Gen. Floyd and Staff arrived at Milledgeville
) on Saturday, having been mustered out of the
i United Stales service. The entire removal of the
Indians has been accomplished.
The splendid steam packet Neptune was sold
| at pt'hlic auction on Wednesday, and knocked
down for iho sum of $50,600. A number of the
former stockholders become the purchasers, and
have formed a new company.
We copy the following remarks from the New
y ork Evening Star, of the 12lh, relative’ to the
resumption of the Southern and Western Banks:
“ We perceive from the Philadelphia papers that
the Philadelphia Banks, desirous of making the
resumption general, will adopt no measures to
try to foico those banks into a ptcmalure re
sumption. They must manage their concerns in
their own way—it is not our business or our
province to find tault with their proceedings, and
in truth no one finds fault here excepting those
who hope to make a half per cent by punching
the hanks into a resumption heforo they are
ready. The illegal and despotic acts of the ad
ministration caused a suspension of specie pay
ments—the war against the banks is still con
tinued, and while political traitors secretly play
into the hands of government to force the hanks
into a resumption to answer some shaving pur
poses, the hanks have nothing to fear by pursu
ing a sale course to ensure a continuance after
they shall have commenced paying their notes
in specie. Lot every slate manage its own

1 j The Pulaski.
s Every incident connected with the loss of this
r j vessel and its passengers is full of interest. We
j have lately heard one from one of the saved, which
“ is deeply affecting. On the day before those on
o [ the wreck of the promenade deck were picked up
I by Capt. Davis, the persons on that wreck descri
jedat a distance what they look for a sail. They
•, { waited some time in hopes that it would near
' them, hut in vain. It seemed to he stationary,
and they had no moans of propelling their crazy
j raft towards it. At length, one of them, Mr.
If Noah Smith, of Augusta, Georgia, announced
0 his intention to swim to it for aid. Ho plunged
j into the water, and for a while, buffeted the waves
’ with a lusty stroke. 11 is wife, one of the tenants
1 j of the raft, watched his exertions with an mix*
ions eye and a heating heart. He seemed on the
point of succeeding in his gallant but perilous
enterprize. All at once, however, bis progress
t appears to be arrested. His efforts grow fainter
, I and fainter. He is evidently stru >gling to keep
himself upon the surface. Ills strength fails him.
; He sinks, and the waves hide him from the fond
f gaze of his distracted wife, forever. The object
i | which he look for a sail was Major Heath’s raft,
j j and it is supposed that, when he came near eiu
j ough to discover his mistake, his spirit and his
' j strength failed together. —Haitimove Chron.

WILMINGTON, July 13.
Pulaski.
Wo stated, in our paper before the last, that we
were taking measures, winch wo thought calcu
lated (o fasten the awful responsibility of the loss
of the Pulaski upon the shoulders which should
hear it.
Since then, our unwillingness to injure upon
, suspicion, or to bring serious and damning chars
ges against the humWcst of God’s creatures, with'
out sufficient proof, has induced us to trace out
the thousand and one rumours connected with
the loss of this boat, (all of which tended to in
, culpate one individual.) The result is, that wc
i do not think the evidence is such as would war'
rant us in arraigning him at the bar of public
opinion. We are indisposed either to ‘mitigate
justice,’ or to ilo a wrong to a follow being
. which years of repentance could not repair.
As wc value the public good, therefore, and our
3 own happiness, we must be wary how wc permit
} crime to go unpunished or lightly to impeach
any man with so grave a charge. Wo here
promise, however, to make diligent inquiry, and
I swear to make true presentments of any criminal
ity which may come to our knowledge in the irio
vestigation of this distressing aifair.
Wo would have deemed it unnecessary under
the circumstances of the case, to have said thus
much, had not our article, already referred to,
been copied into papers North and South, and
public expectation been thereby, aroused to hear
what wc had to say.— Advertiser.

Georgia and Maine.
Our readers have not forgotten the contru
versy between Georgia and Maine, m regard
to a demand made by the former on the latter
lor the delivery, as fugitives from justice of
the captain and mate of a vessel who were
charged and indicted in the Chatham Court
lor having carried a slave from Savannah con-’
trary to the laws of Georgia. The demand
was made last summer by Gov. Schley, and
compliance refused by Gov. Dunlap, of Maine.
The subject was then referred to the Legisla
ture ol Georgia, by a message from the Cover
nor, and resolutions, passed instructing him to
renew the demand and m the event of a refu
sal, ho was required to issue his proclamation
to the people of the State, calling on them to
e ect delegates to a convention, to delermmu
“what Georgia was next required to do.”—
These resolutions passed both houses of the
Legislature unanimously.
The ShcrfTof Savannah is now in Augusta
(Me ) making the demand. Gov. Dunlap’s
objection to delivering up the men, was that
required forms of law had not been complied
with. Os course the defects of the former
have been remedied in flic present ot c. Hut
Governor Kent, (says the Kennebec Journal.)
will not deliver up the men. The Sheriff will
soon return with his answer, and we suppose,
adds that paper, it will bu published in Georgia
and made the subject of further action in the
Legislature of that Stale. Wo understand,
continues the Journal, that the Governor con
tends that the case ol Kelleran and others is
not such a one as is provided lor in the Con
stitution ol the U. S. where fugitives from jus
tice in one State are liable to ho redeemed in
another, that in fact the evidence is wholly
wanting to show that they are fugitives from
justice. —New York Expressed inst,
