I 1 A government like ours, bot tomed on the principle of immuta ble justice, cannot but attract the attention of the oppressed part of the civilized world. Thousand? that yearly fly the iron fwky of the despots of Europe, find imtfbis de lightful country, a foil tenfold plen teous in cultivation : in laws, mild and equitable;— are received with open avgas, they grow fat on tbe soil. Now what return does thefc emigrants make for our kind n.efs and protection ? Do they (how grateful hearts , and by ftriCt oblervance of such duties as are required of native citizens return in part the obligation under which they labor to the government ? Or do they ungratefully abuse it f They thwart its belt interest by e very artifice which villany can de vise (at least a part of them do..) — Hence has arilen the odium attach ed to Fedtralifm! Thel'e emigrant fugitives, (interfering in our poli tics,) generally attach themselves to the Federal party, and assuming the name of Federalist, imprefson the lefs-informed part of the communi ty, a belief that, Federalism, & To ryifm, are synonymous; but wide is the difference: Federalism is the bond of our union—toryifm, of our dil-union^—l mean American Federalism in its pure acceptation— not your Scotch or Englilh Feder alism ; for they are horrible as the touch of the Basilisk — shun them f fly them!! in their looks is deceit , in their hearts is murder! We are clearly of opinion that men equally honeftand decent are equally on a footing in private life ; and here, a flop may be put to further inquiries as to fettle differences in political matters: but he thafafpires to ports of honor or profit, though the pol itics he profeffes may be of the pop ular kind, very little validity should be attached to his declarations on this head—analize him ; trace his conduct and sentiments for years back ; then if there appears a firm nefs and uniformity in these parti culars, he may be trusted, though his politics should be federal ; for he will have fKown a {lability, and we should be led to believe this (la bility to arise from principle. Such is the opinion we entertain of a de cent, mild and native Federalist ; but to infamy we consign the de cistnVer-p of government, “the repro- baters of our chief magistrate—the , infernal league with our enemy. O’ The examination of the rtu- j dents of the Washington Academy • will commence on Wednesday next, and continue till Friday. The variety of bank bills now in j circulation in this city, is likely to ! impose a serious evil upon the conv munify at large. The bills of ne; jr fifty banks are floating through the i country, without any check whate ver. The merchants, and more particularly the country people, are unacquainted with the signatures of the calhiers and presidents, noV do many of them know whether there be any such banks in exirtence; consequently this kind of paper is circulated without knowing wheth er the bills are counterfeits or not. In faCl two. denominations of bills’ have been in circulation in this city, though no such banks existed.- The example set by the merchants in receiving Tuch a variety of un known paper, has so generally spread its baleful influence over the country, as literally to invite a vil-. ianous board of counterfeiters, to prey upon the prosperity of the ho ned illiterate farmer. It is not ne cefiary to, enumerate the various points at which we are affaiied by ah Unpolir.c fyflem, which is grow ing upon us every day. * I would advise that his honor the mayor of the city of Savannah, should call a general meeting of the citizens; and that they should enter into a resolution to receive the bills of such banks only, as should then be agreed upon—ls such a ineafure should fail in its op eration, let the citizens write a pe tition to the legislature, to impose a penatly by law, for offering bills in payment of debts, except of such denominations as should be therein mentioned. 4 Sav. Republican. A new fort on an enlarged fca-le is to be built immediately at the Spring Weils, three miles below Dttroit, a position which competely commands all the adjacent country. Governor Cass had received official information of our government to place our fleet on Lake Erie in an immediate Hate of readiness for ser vice. A part of our armed vessels which were ordered to be leuttled and funk lafl fprieg are now to be raised and refitted.- The activity of the Britiih in build ing, and procuring bv purchase, a conhderable fleet, has no doubt excited our government to fee the necessity of still keeping the superi ority on the Lake. The British are alio very busily engaged in build ing a fleet on Lake Huron ; and no doubt on all the lakes, they will, in time of peace, when they think we are asleep, make every exertion to have the afcendency.

The proclamation of the Spanish “general is in the deceitful style of the “ legitimate” cant and promise of this age. Translated for The Columbian. Proclamation of the general in chief of the Spanish army to the French men of the bordering distrifts. The troops of the king my mas ter enter the French territories, not to commit but to sup press the ferocity of a faftion who are not fatisfied wirh the calamities they have occafioned*, by which they have compromitted the throne of his mofl Catholic Majesty and the tranquility of his fubjeCts. In the declaration of the 2d of May it is said that the Spanish army should not wage war against France, but the faction which desolates it; that it avows no other conquest than the repose of France herfelf, in re- : storing her king called to the throne by the fundamental Ihws of the state, whose proflration has plunged the whole kingdom in sadness and be reavement. Ihe chief of tbe disturbers of the public quiet is no longer at their head, but his spirit Hill animates his followers. King Louis the Eighteenth is on : his throne, but his virtunes have • not yet coftipleted the conquest of minds bewildered by the genius of evil. All the declarations of the king my master are, that the troops which enter the domains of his Ca* i tholic majesty, must neither ravage nor destroy the smallest part of them, but proteCk & preserve them faithfully as a sacred trust. i Gonquiere , the—of August , 1815. j CASTANOS. | Remarkable circumstance. There is a woman now living near Mil ler’s Lane in Mancheftcr, with her fifth husband ! She is in the 30th year of her age—and was a widow not more than nine weeks at a time j —the last time she became a widow, it was only seven weeks. She has had thirteen children —and what is more remarkable, she was mother of five children, all born alive and baptized, before fhe’ was twenty years of age. Irish paper. From the North American Journal. AN UGLY WIFE OR A GIBET. The following amusing anecdote is copied from a MS. flieet of the Border Antequities of England & Scotland, which is now in progress of publication, to which Mr. Wal ter Scott is a contributor : In the 17th century, the greater part of the property lying upon the river Ettricke belong to Scott of Harden, who made his principal re sidence at Olvvood Tower, a bor der house of strength {fill remain ing upon that river. William Scott, (aferwards Sir William) son of the head of this family, under took an expedition against the Mur ray’s, of Elibank, whose property lay at a few miles distant. . He found his enemy upon their guard, was defeated made prisoner in the ad of driving off the cattle, which he had colleded for that purpose, Our hero, Sir Gideon Murray, con ducted prisoner to the cattle, where his lady received !>im with congratulations upon his victory, and inquiries concerning the fate to which hfc destined the prisoner. “The Gallows,” Answered Sir Gideon, for he is said already to have acquired the honor of knight hood, “ to the gallows with the mardauer.” “ Haut na, Sir Gide on,” answered the cofluderate ma tron in her venacular idiom, ‘would you hahg the winsome young Laird of Harden when ye have threp ill t favored daughters to marry * Right, right,” answered the Ba ron, who catdhed at the idea, he “ fliall either marry our daughter, mickied mouthed Meg, or {trap for it.” Upon this alternative being proposed to the prisoner, he upon the firft view of the case, stoutly preferred the gibber to “ mickle mouthed Meg,” for such was the nick name of the young, lady, whole real name was Agnes. But at length when he was literally.led forth to execution, & saw no other chance of escape, he retraced his ungallant refolurion, and preferred the typical noose of matrimony to the literal cord of hemp. Sucffi is the tradition eftabiifhed in both fa milies, and often jocularly referred to upon the bordrers. It may be necessary to add, that mickied mouthed Meg and her husband w'erc a very happy and loving pair, and had a very large family, to each of whom Sir William Scott bequeathed good ettates, be Tides reserving a large one for the tideft, London paper .
