JUNIUS IN THE UNITED STATES. ;
Otxt-rviug in Hie last number of trie New j
Vo.-k Albion, that the Scotch newspapers are ,
reviving that inquiry rcrpeclng tin* identity : ,
o^‘JuuiiM'’ and are ponding lo this country j
aa the probable depository of «,.m» evidence | ,
that bears upon it, I employ a moment’* lets- i i
ore to explain more Inly not (inly me nature 11
of the evidence, out the degree oi importance |
which may’bo attached to u. j|
in 1537, Dr. Brewster, now B.r David,
sbovved, ip a gaotieme.i now m tin* counlty
some of tb« literary correspotice'iicc winch I
. ms Fatlieirtn-lavv, the r vial rated Oa»san 1
Macpherton, as lie is cailea, had, with various
distinguished individuals. Amongst the rent
were loiters signed Lachlan McLean. Th sc
wore generally wr.lten with much vigor of
style. The metaphors and figures in which J
they abounded were always forcihie.snd often i
quite remarkable for their ceauty. Sir David !
pointed out several passage* which had struck i
iiim both in their structure and language, as ■
being almost identical with others found in j
the Utter* of Junius; and what give greater I
interest to tins son iar.ly was, that tho hand- j
writing bore an equally singular resemblance !
lo the lac similes ol the MSS. of Junius, at '
published in Wood fall's edition.
Having communicated the impression these |
letters had inado upon him, one of lus friends j
puin'od out to him a passage in (ilk's Luc
of West, which grealiy excited his inclination I
lo investigate the 'affair. Fronvth e passage
itappeared that Governor Hamilton, of I’onn
•ylvariis, calling open We.,t, the painnrr, one
morning in London, West slowed him the
.attack upon the i£ ng which had that morn,
ingappeaied in WooJfall’s re-.spaper. On
reading it, Hamilton exclaimed lhai Ire knew
the author; that certain passages and epigram,
malic expressions in it he had seen before,
and that the iudior was that ecoondro! Lach
lan McLean, wlionncc maided in Philadel
phia ; and who had at that time mado a vio
lent attack upon him, then Governor of the
Stale of Fennsylvan.a, in u Philadelphia pa
per.
This circumstance had'induced Sir David
to inquire what had been iho ostensible cxis
tenceand movements ol Lachlan McLean du
ring that period embraced by lire irilers of Ju
nius,andUio result upon Ins mind was almost ,
equal lo conviction that McLsan was the an- :
ilmr of those latteis. That he was a power- (
fill writer, and that he wrote m the style of ,
.Junius, he hud sufficient proofs in Iris own pos- (
session. Then there were (he remarkable j
facts, that he had been under Secretary of ,
State to Lord Shelburne; had been sent on a |
lucrat vo mission lo India, at the very period
Juli us ant.iou K'i-s hiso.vn reii.cmeu', and had ,
perished An'*( second voyage to India, in the j
Swallow packet; together with probalily some j
written vvid.-iicos. llfut, hail he died a natural
death, might have ere this cleared up the tus
pienut; |pr, 'nfier all, it is but a cuapicion,
and wait cd regarded by others at the time, ■
especially Sir Walter Scult,.Lird Mrnto,
and Mr. Jeffrey, to whom the gentleman, that
Sir David had shown Macpherson’s corres
pondence had mentioned t..u ntfiir; and they,
after seeing the leltein of Lachlan McLean,
concurred m opinion that Sir David was on a '
wrong scant. This opinion, too, was express- ‘
cJ in sucl) a decided manner as to awaken u i
thought in the gentleman’s mind that they j
wereatmtnp the initiated few who knew who (
was ihtt-nuthorol the letters of Junius.
It was agreed however, on all hands, that *
on the return ot this person to America ho
should make some inquires in Philadelphia a
bout Lachlan McLean, and lire newspaper
attacks'upon Governor Hamilton. This was
unlrucluout-ly dune. Assisted by others, all
the accession files of the newspapers publish
cd daring the government of Hamilton wc-e
examined, and nothing was found. Some in
formation, however, hjc.
‘Lean, was collected: Th : lalq oialtop White,
then aboy at school remembered him. lie was
an Irishman, and 8 surgeon in the Army and
kept npmall apothecary's shop near Second
street and Market. Some officer in Otway’s
regiment had given offence to one ol'llic chi
zsus, and governor Hamilton espoused Iho
cause ot v the citizen. This drew forth the
keen pen of McLean who defended the officer,
and was very severe on the Governor. It was
an affair which created much excitement in
Pniladfilpltia It is barely possible that some
light may be thrown on the subject, if the
descendants of Governor Hamilton would
examine llio’papers they, have preserved, and
which once were very numerous.
After the affair with Hamilton, ho returned
toE igiand, became the intimate of Burke
and oilier literary men of the day. About
ihis time (1771.) he wrote a defence of the
Ministry, which is not extant, unless some co
py has bven preserved in the United Stales.
It wisonlha subject of the Falkland Isles.
In 1772 Lord North gave him the collector
ship of the port Philadelphia, when ho came
out again.—He returned to England in 1773.
It deserves attention that during this interval
Junius did not write.
from the New Voik Herald.
rtslonMing Discovery! Electricity a Motive
Power. 1 Steam outdone! ,f Revolution in
Mechanic!. 1 Rairotid Cure and Double Cyl
inders propelled by lightning!
Enough of exclamations for the prevent. We
wi massed, yesterday, die greatest discovery of
modern times, or any limes; a discovery which
eclipses those of Galliloe, Newton, Hitvey, Ful
ton, and (he whole race of Philosophers, from
Aristotle downwards.
It is now a decided point that the mysterious J
principle of Electricity—Galvanism—Magnetism
—for they arc hut modifications of the same piin
ciplo—cun he applied lo machinery, mado to
pi opal steamboats;—can bo applied to railroad
cars—in short every purpose which steam is now
applied, and to thousands of others. We have !
seen the models—witnessed the operation of the
mysterious power that moves and regulates the
universe, turning a seven inch wheel, with thcra
rpidity rjf hghtuiag; raising a weiglpjwith a rela
tive power,fifty percent above that of the most
iperfoct steam-engines—and propelling a car on a
■circular railway.
Franklin proved that electricity is lightning—
it‘has sipcc been demonstrated that galvanism is
a modification of the same principle. Since then,
every year has brought lo light some now principle j
connected with this mysterious agent, that has 1
astonished Iho philosophic world. The effects I
of galvanism upon the dead bodies of animals— (
imparting to tUem muscular and nervous energy,
served to indicate that it was nothing less than i
the principle of life itself. It was next discover- I
cd that magnetism,was Je|)enJant upon this prin- j
eiplo of gravitation, according to the Newtonian |
theory—the principle which moves the planets,
and keeps ah creation in order, will shortly bo de
monstrated to but the effect* of the same sub
lime discovery.
Every thing iu nature .s simple when it is
once understood. Every body lias seen the mag
net or load-tone, and witnessed the force with
which it attracts iron or another magnet. Evctv
one knows, or ought to know, thai every magnet
has a north and south polo—a positive end, and
• nefa'ivo. We wish those to know who do not
already, that the most powerful magnets in the
world, magnets capable of raising 1600 po .-ids
are prod trod by the action ofa Galvanic battery.
It should be known that when two mugncis are
put together, tha north and south poles of each
attract the other, hot the north pole repels the
north, and the soulh the south, though lioiti at
ttact iron. Now we come to the point. Galvan
ism, applied to pieces of iron In a certain w as,
gives them a high magnetic power' By meany
of this powei, and those powerful attractions and
repulsions, a magnetic wheel is made to revolve
within a magnetic circle, with lb* rapidity of
lightning, and tha force of a ihuodeibolt—yet it
cun beset in motion and managed Iy a child,
and tha direction changed instant!.-

Usury.—Lord Bacon, than whom per
haps a wiser and better man never livod, has
given in u few words the result of his obser
vations and experience on this subject.
He says:—
•■Gams of ordinary trades and avocations
are honesi, and furthered by two things,
1 chiefly by diligence, and by a good name lor
i go„d and fair dealing. Tne discommodities
of usury are—lst. That it makes fewer met-
I chants. For were it. not for tins lazy trade of
j usury, mom y would not he still, but would
i in gveat part be employed in merchandizing,
I which is the vena porta of wealth in a state.
I 2d. That it makes merchant » poor. For as a
I farmer cannot husband Ins ground so well if
! lie sit at great rent, so Iho merchant cannot
I drive his trade so well if he ait at great usury,
i Tne 3d is incident to the oilier two, aud that
is, the decay of the customs of the States,
which ehb or flow with merchandizing. 4th
That il brings the treasure ol the realm or state
into few hands. For the usurer being at cer
tainties, and others at uncertainties, at the
end of the game, most ot iho money will be
in the hand* of the usurers, and a Stale flour
ishes most when wealth is most equally dis
tributed. 5. That it heals dawn the price of
land, fertile employment of money is chiefly
merclmtidizingor purchasing, and usury way
lays both. fl. That it doth dull and damp all
industriuos improvements, and new improve
ments, and new inventions—wherein money
would be alin ing, were it not (or this slug.—
The lasi, that il is the cancer ami ruin of ma
ny men 's estates—which in process of time,
breeds a public poverty.”
A usurer live? by extorting from the neces
sities of the industrious and enterprising.—
He produces nothing—ho adds not ouo penny
to Iho common slock, but be watches the
wants of the necessitous—ha delights in the
embarrassment of trade and commerce—and
in the ruin and distress of others—he ai.onk
is the gainer. In limes of prosperity, he finds
little lor gratnlation.
The uiscr is like tha biros and beasts of
prrey that follow in the wake of content
ing armies. Tbo misfortunes of others; is
his harvest.— iV. Y. Express.

Lixcolktox, Amu. 131 th, 1837.
Persnant lo previous notice, a meeting took
place in the Court House of Lincoln county this
day, for the purpose of nominating and appoint
ing Delegates to represent this county in the Con
vention to bo hold in Milledgeville,on tho third
Monday in May next, in order to nominate a suit
i able person to be run for Governor, who is South
i prn in birth mid feeling, and opposed to the vul
| era in power, upon principle. When Stephen
j Stovall, Esq. was called to the Chair, and Eliel
Lockhart, Esq. appointed Secretary.
I The object of the meeting was explained, and
j tho following resolutions were offered by W’m. B.
Cantelow, Esq.—
This meeting, with thousands of other individ
uals of Georgia (ind other Slates ol ibis Union,
believe that corruption of tho deepest dye has
been practised in the administration of the Gen
, oral Government, in the late administration,
which show s from partial enquires, already made;
and the violent opposition manifested by the
organs of the Government in power, to the fur
> tber examination into the causes, and the actors
of those corruption?, give* reason to believe, that
there is yet to be discovered corruptions and im
positions, w hich have nut come to fight.
M o farther believe that the thousands of chan
ges mode in the officers of the government of the
United States, has. iu most instances, been with
a view to secure power, and obtain elections, and
among the changes, the basest and most unprin
cipled men are to be found ; also the changes of
the United Slates Treasury, aod its fiscal affairs,
giving to favorites, land speculators, >uul stock
jobbers, an opportunity of obtaining true access,
as il wets, to thetsnre, ar..t tha withdrawal from
‘ the mercantile men the iacilit.es and they me i
1 saut ed to.l as stiJii u ;„s Crrengsraem .‘id.: i *
> > ed vffaiis and causes cf the distress now ruffing |
1 1 in the United Stales and elsewhere among tho
' merchants, and coon will be felt by every class
\ I of citizens.
We believe, that Martin Van Buren baa been
! OBe °f the principal managers in producing this
’ calc of things in order to secure to him the office
he now holds, and it was not f.r his worthy
, deeds, but management alone, that raised him to
the seal be occupies, and tuat in order lo pro
‘ duce the change necessary to bring back our Go
. vernment lo its original purity upon Republican
Principles, it behoves every citizen of this Union,
and the Southern portion thereof to have him re
-4 moved at the end of the term of four year*, end
. to effect tins measure, his advocates should be re
moved from office likewise.
We aro constrained to believe further, that the
United States Government is not alone in mis.
f management. We find from the presentments of
i various Grand Jury’s of tills State, that there ho»
■ been appointed to high offices of trust, in the ad-
I ministration of its affairs, men who are not trust
worthy, although those appointments may not he
' directly through (ho executive, none can doubt
but it ia by his consent and approbation, and
t therefore is intended to answer some purpose,
porhsps with the same view the changes arc
made in the General Government. We thcforc
hold good the oldodago that “wo arc known by
the company we keep, and by our fritils,” &c.
All of which acts tend to endanger, leads to cor
ruption and derangement of the administration of
the Government, and calls aloud for a change.
Ist. lie it therefore Resolved, That we ap- 1
prove of the holding a Convention at Milledge
ville on the third Monday in May next, as ap
pointed by the State Rights party, yet wo invite
our Union friends, who believe that the evils ex
ist. and that a change in necessary, lo come up to
the help, and unite in correcting the evil.
2d. Resolved, That the Chairman of this <
meeting appoint n committee of five, to report j
forthwith the names of suitable delegates to said (
convention, with power to nominate others should I
cither of those nominated, from providential caus
es, be unable to attend the convention.
3d. Resolved, That in full confidence of the ,
causes which moved us to this meeting, wo will i
openly and boldly advocate the person nominated 1
as the candidate for Governor by said convcn- 1
lion at the general election in October and before. |
The Chairman then ptocceded to nominate the t
committee as directed in the second resolve, 1
which consisted of John L. Trammel, Thos. Ly- '
on, Lewis Parks, Wrn. B. Dubose, and Wm, B. ]
Cantelow, Esqs., who retired a few moments anti ,
returned the names of Eliel Lockhart, Wm. B. I
Cantelow, and Shradrich Turner as suitable '
delegates to the convention aforesaid, all of whom '
wore unanimous chosen. ,
4th. Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting be signed by the Chairman and counter
signed by tho Secretary, and transmitted lo tho
Augusta Chronicle & Stale Rights Sentinel for
insertion, with directions to be inserted in the
Southern Recorder, Milledgeville.
STEPHEN STOVALL, Chairman.
EuzLLaciuutnT, Secretary.
Tho following article has been forwarded us
for publication, we give it without comment—
believing that tho success of such a society will
meet tho approbation L os all, especially those
interested in the room! Improvement of society.
A HBW SOCIETY.
CAtIKD TUK SEtr-KXAMtSINO SafftlTi
Among Iho many Societies established in our
Country, to extend, tho principles of Christianity,
and lo improve the morals of the People at large;
it is a subject of real regret that while so lauda
ble a purpose is manifested, and so much pains
taken to temovc the mole out of our neighbors
eyes, there should bo so Society fanned, no pains
taken to induce men first to cast tha beam out of
their own; or in other words, a Society whose
end and aim should bo to examine our own hearts
and lives, and see if we oursclvsare not guilty of
some habits and vices that need reform, which
are equally as bad as those which we are so rea
dy lo discover in our neighbors. This Society
it would seem ought to lake the lead of all others,
and it should bo tho fust object of our exertions
to suppress Iho follies of mankind. “Physician
heal mysolt” is an admonition coming from the
highest authority, and to is applicable to the
Scribes and Pharisees now, as It was eighteen
hundred years ago. Did tho members of our
popular Societies, as well as others, lake half the
pains lo examine themselves and correct their
own faults, as they do, lo hunt up and expose the
Jalts and follies of others, how much more like
Christians would they act—how much more
happy aud peaceable would be [be condition of
every community and neighborhood! And were
a Society once instituted in this or any other
place , and mado as popular as our Temperance
Societies, and aa many others now are—how
much less running to and fro, or of numbers
standing in tho corners of streets, thanking God
that they aro not like other men, should we then
behold?

From tie New Orleans Bee, April ‘25, “
MEXICO,
The -e-rents now tr anspiring on the coast of
Mexico i,ro of greater importance than seems to
ho attar J .ied to their; Several American vessels
have ho-en caplurcil on the high seas, out of sight
of land , by the Mexican fleet, which pretends to
iiavo c stablishcd a blockade of the whole coast of
lexas, and thono American vessels were seized
on trio ground t hat they were bound to the coun
try th as protended lo l, c blockaded. These acts
ot viol ence would of themselves constitute a gross
violat'.on ottho luws of nations, sufficient to au
thorise a stong rcmoislrance from the govern
men'i of this country! and in case redress were
not promptly offered, t resort to the last means of
settling a national quirrel. The government of
the United States has always been opposed wilh
peculiar carmistncss to this system of paper block
ade. Tho proclamation of the coast of France in
a slate of Woijkads by the British government,
though that .proclamation was attempted to be
enforced by the whole British navy, was one of
the principal causes of the last war between this
country anti Orest Britain. Buonaparte declared
thn British inlands under blockade, and neutral
vessels were captured and captured and condemn
ci.l for attempting to disregard this declaration.
The American government protested against this
exercise of power am! declared that it never would
be submitted to by this country. It is an ac
knowledged principle of the law of nations, that
no blockade of a port or part of a coast is valid,
unless a force bo stationed before it adequate to
prevent vessels from entering, and when they do
attempt to enter, they shall be warned off—and
not taken possession of unless they persist in
forcing their w«y. This is the constructoin for
which our government has uniformly contended,
and a different interpretation is injurious to tho
rightsofneutrals, and inadmissible.
But if the laws of nations were out of tho ques
tion, the capture of American vessels by tho
Mexican fleet under tho circumstance above allu
ded to, U an act of gross and lawless outrage—
and a violation oflhe letter of the treaty between
(his count.** and Mexico. We pray our
to peruse the Slit article of that treaty, which
reads as follows l
Ami whereat, it fidfjllftiuiy happens that ves
sels sail for a | o. t nr place belonging to an enemy
without knowing that the same is besieged, block
aded or invested, it is agreed that every vessel so
situated may he turned away from such port or <
place, hut shall not be detained ; nor shall any
past of her cargo, if not contraband, ho confisca
ted, unless, after warning of such blockade or in- i
vestment frain tho commanding officer of tho ,
blockading farce, she should again attempt to en
ter the aforeaaid part, but she shall be permitted
to go to any other port or place she may think
proper. Nor shall any vessel of either of tho
conlractingparties that may have entered into J
such port before the same was actually besieged (
blockaded cr invcsled by the other, be restrained
from quitting such place with her cargo, nor if i
found there in after the surrender, shall such ves
sel or her ctrgo be liable to confiscation, but she 1
shall be restored to the owners thereof.
Hero it is expressly stipulated that the vessel
of the neutml party shall not bo seized unless she ,
shall persist Ip force her way after being warned i
off by the commanding officer of the blockading
squadron.- And vet ho schooner Louisiana was
captured on the high seas, a prize ctew placed e,n
board and, ordered lo a Mexican port. -Sin./ilar
outrages were inflicted upon other American ves
sels by the same fleet. If our government submit
to this aggression, it would be ac well to strike
our flag at once, ami bow to Mexican supremacy
on the ocean and in our waters. ’But it cannot
and will not be submitted lo—th;e next mail from
Washington after the governm ent shall bo offi
cially assured of lha facts, wil.j bring orders to the
commander of the naval forces in the Gulf to in
flict tho chastisement upon these Mexican pirates
which they merit.
Wc have heard in. dividuals, who ought to
know better, affirm that the caplain of the Natch
es went beyond the line of his duty when he
recnptured|theschooner Louisiara. Ifthccapture
had been mode under circumstances of perfect
fairness and undoubted right, tho forcible taking
possession of her by Capt Merry would not be
justifiable, but her seizure by the Mexican squad
ron being an act of lawless outrage and insult
upon American citizens,any American officer,hav
ing the power to redress the injury, would prove
derelict lit his duty, and culpably regardless of the
honor of his flag, had he hesitated to do it. Had
Captain Mervino inflicted summary justice upon
the Mexican vessels by placing them in pos
session of prize crews and sending them to the
nearest port of the United States, there to the
tried for an act of piracy, he would have been
sustained by the approbation of his country.
These outrages of the Mexican fleet are of a
kind that call tor prompt suppression—they have
created a slate of things that cannot bear the tar
dy course of diplomatic discussion. Our flag is
daily insulted and our commerce jeopardised; lo
bear our complaints to the president of Mexico
while his officers uro proceeding in their .career
of on: rage, would be a tame submission lo wrong
which our government will not practise, nor our
citizens tolerate. Prevent a recurrence of the
stressing hy arresting the aggressing officer,
and then demand his punishment from those who
employ him—this or ibtns simlar course is what
the honor ami true policy of the nation require
to be pursued.

at the Stock etching* h*ve had tb.egs all their '
own way, and considerable quantities have chang
ed hands at a reduction on the average of about
two percent upon the prices of yesterday. The
closing sales were invariably at lower ratca than j
the opening prices, and but very few transactions
on time. The pressure in the money market is
just beginning to manifest itself in the interior. (
The papers received by the mails of yesterday ,

suspension and failures among the merchants and ,
manufacturers in the country, more particularly ,
in the eastern section of the union.
From the N. O. True American April 29,
MONEY MARKET—CITY.
The news from New York, to the evening of
the 21st, is most gloomy, la consequence of
the designs of the Government leaking out a con
siderable run was made upon the Virginia and N.
York banks. It was gradual, however, and with
out any excitement. If the worst should come
to the worst, we fear there will be some repetitions
of Bank of Maryland doings.—Great fears were
entertained of most of the New York, Banks, if
the drain continued. We should not be surpri
sed to hear by the next mail, that the denoue
ment had occurred. We will hope,—however,
though it be against all probability and circum
stance.
Depressed as we were, the news could have but
little worse effect upon our market. The ther
mometer is so low at present, that the variation
of a degree or two is not felt by the community.
There is an incubus upon trade that nothing can
remove, but some violent effort on the part of
the whole commercial interest. Even then its
direful influence will long remain to paralyze ev
ery effort. Money experiences no change, except
that the hand of the lenders clenches its precious
charge the stronger.
Colton, —we write the'but word seldom now,
though at every turn; biles on bales stare you in
the face. We hear of 19 bales Alabama fine, at
7J cents,and 51 Mississippi superior, at 11J els.
Report speaks of a transaction of 700 bales do
at 8 cents—-though we put no faith in its validity.
All kinds of produce as low as ever. There is an
unwillingness on the part of the Commission
Merchants to receive produce on consignment,
and advance the freight. The money is
worlh to the holder mare than any gain be may
make from selling things for another.
