I-iticohiton, ,1 Fricliiy ni^ht, llie 1st of April ; but ]j^;,j,pi-arcd soon next morning : it snoW- I lilicw ise at Sulisbitry, at the same time. r,,e cold was s(*vci'e here, i'ur the season; .;;tno snow fell. On Sunday evening, hc3l inst. there was a pretty hard frost; we believe the damage done was in- o;isiciL‘ruble. In some gardens, tender egi‘ta!)ies, such as beans, cucunibers^ Sc. were killed ; in others, nothing was lied. A correspondent in Lincoln- on informs us, that the frost was so se- ero there, that it was feared the fruit ail destroyed. The amount of taxable property in the Ute of New-York, is 8275,742,636. lii 318, the state tax v. as livo mills on a dol- ai; since that period, it has been redu- ed to ha!/ a mill on a dollar, and In a iliort time the Governor expects there ,vill be no necessity for any general t«x. i’he revenue arising from the canal, will lot only relieve the people from a state ax, but will leave a large surplus, after kfraving tlie public expenses, to be ap* -.ropriaied to objects of general'and per- nanent utility. Such are the benefits to be derived from internal improvements ; i;cv will cause “the wilderness to bud !id blossom like the rose,” encourage in dustry and ^nterprisi’, by the certainty of cward, accelerate the progress of rivil- zatlon and refinement, and draw' still loser the bonds of socicty. ' ( llAKLO FTE : rrrsDAY, afiml 12, 1825. Xo northern mail was received last t fk ; our columns are consequently bar- of intelligence. The mail was proba- lvlod';C(l somewlifere between Salisbury j.j Ualclgh, having met w ith obstacles, Joiibt, wliich “human exertions” ould not “overcome.” Economy is justly ranked among the irtucs; wealth cannot be accumulated 'v.'iihout it; no great objects of public u- ility can be accomplislied, where that is l;?rogardedj without cherishing it, neith er states nor individuals can long prosper. But erroneous idea?*, on this subject, are too common; and it is too often confound- fJ with avarice, thus being degraded into a vice, instead of exalted to the rank of irtiies, Perhaps the following definition of Economt/, by a distinguished writer, may be serviceable to some of its pretend ed friends, and impart to them more just notions of its true meaning : “ Economy is equally distant from ava rice and profusion. Avarice hoardcs, not for ihe purpose of consuming or repro- lucing, but for the mere sake of hoard- in’"; it is a kind of instinct, or mechani cal impulse, much to the discredit of those in whom it is detected ; whereas trufioconomy is the oflspring of prudence and sound reason. »♦»'»*»*• Kconomy Hover consumes wiiliout an object ; ava- ’ico never willingly consumes at all : the 'ine is a sober unci rational study, the only '^tie that supplies the means of fuUilling '^iir duties, atul beitig at tlie same tlmr ;iist and generous; the other, a \i!e pr(j- pt'nsity to sacrifice e\rry tiling to the sur- '!ifl consideration of '.elt.” I'oran illustration of true econor.iy, ;;ri It relates to state':, we refer to tlie in- ‘ffnal improvenicets in Xt w-Vork. This Mnglt! example cai'ties witlAit stronger tonvlction, tiian any del’inition can do. Among the toasts drank at Savannah. •' the dinner given to Cien. Lafoijfttc, we "‘iscover some of a decided party charac- This,, witli a solitary exception in ''uutli-Carolina, is the only instance we noti('(*d of party politics l)cing min- fjlecl with the respects shown to Latayetle. ‘^I'sprct for the feelings of the Cieneral, would think, would have precluded '''')' thing of this nature ; especially as he ' ’ t!ip “ giipst of the nation,” not of a par- 1 he impropriety of introducing P^f'izan feelings on such an occasion, 'mist strike every one ; and we hope the ^'X.n'.plc which has been set in (ieorgia, '‘‘1 tind no imitators elsewhere. JVashing!on City GaTcttc, which, of tl;e papers opposed to Gen. Jackson, 'jesn the most violent and shamel'il " abuse of that distinguished iiuli- '*'Iual, is nov/ his warm eulogist ? This paper, which now exalts General ’•tson ‘'',l)ovc ull Grcekj above all Ro- fame,” but afe'.v sliort months ago, dealt out his daily slanders against the Cieneral with all the malignity of a de mon ; as a specimen, take the following : “ And General Jackson has been called a Repu!)lican ! He who would hang, and has hung, men without legal authori ty ; imprisoned judges ; and talked about cutting ofl the ears of members of Con gress tor daring to call his conduct in question. ‘‘ Pretty Republicanism! all this. Men who on solemn occasions, can thus sport with common sense, may well join and justify General Jackson in saying that ‘ names are bubbles.’ , ‘‘But Gen. Jackson, who, in his con science, knew and believed that Mr. Low- rie was correct, took a double and a cru el satisfaction. He compelled Mr. Mon roe to deny that he had read any letter at all, and yet forced him to agree to the publication of the proof that he had read one to Mr. Lowrie and others. This se verity of retaliation corresponds with the savage nature of Cien. Jackson : whilst his effort to misrepresent the plain im port of his own words, denotes his want of candor and sincerity.” Gen. Jackson despised this paper, as an enemy; and he will spurn it, as a friend. Praise, from such, a source, should be deprecated : it flows from a polluted fountain, and will taint whomsoever it touches.. The editor of the Washington Ciazette was formerly xa clerk in the De partment of State, and was dismissed by Mr. Adams, for reasons which are too well known to need re]>etition ; hence his consistency in one thing,—abuse of his former patron ; hence his vile calumnies on Mr. Clay,—recently the object of his highest praise,—because he assisted in the election of Mr. Adams ; anl hence the reason, why CJen. Jackson and Mr. Calhoun are now taken into favor. He considers these distinguished men as the future rivals of Mr. Adams ; and proba bly* they will be : but in such a contest, or in any contest, they would scorn the support of the IVdshiiigton City Gazette. An editor, who is actuated by purpo ses so malignant as this editor has shown himself to bo—who was at one time the warm admirer of Mr. Adams, and at a- nother, his unrelenting persecutor and calumniator—who recently*ransacked the vocabulary of bilingsgate to defame the character of Gen. Jackson, and now be spatters him with his fulsome adulation— who, for two years or more, crowded his columns with libels on the fair fame of Mr. Calhoun, and then, of a sudden, changes his hoarse notes of slander into the dulcet strains of panegyric :—such an editor is unworthy of confidence, and his praise and his censure should alike be disregarded. It is well his vocation should be known, that he may neither injure by his calumnies, nor ruin by his praise. A Public Dinner was given in the city of New' York, on Monday, the 21st ult. in celebration of the late victories and confirnied independence of the South A- merican Hepu!)lics. We copy tlie ful- lowingfrom the New York Evening Post, in which a long account of the dinner is given : Carolina Uhticrrcr. Mr. Hiichanan, the I’l iiish C'oii'^u!, be ing called on fur a toast, ro'se aiul ad- ilress.-d the President in the following word'/: IS'rn'it me to observe. Sir, that 1 deem t!ie luitidur of bi'iag a guest upon this oc casion, among one of the must gratilyiiig cirruinstnnci's roinieci.ed v. iih my o!ii- cial station. Much has beeji stated as K re\oIutions and their happy con'efjuen- ces, in this assembly this evening, but tliere is another 1 cannot omit this op portunity to iu)tice, w hich even a few \ ears back seemed more unlikely and less expected by many than these great chan ges we are thus happily met to cele- bVate; and permit me to add, tmi’. in which the ])rosperity ofl)(jili is dt'eply interesled. Need 1 mention the revolution in senti ment and feelings, which 1 rejoct-to bear my testimony to, as having arisen between our resi)ective g\»vernments, which is last spreading aiviong all classes, and wliich 1 earnestly hojje may sett’o (io^^n into jier- mancnt fiiendship. It may be asked, what has the gi-owih of gO(jd leelings be tween England atid the U nited States, to do with the celeljration of the recent vie lories which have brought us thus to gether?—I w ill nut say, go ask at Madrid, at Paris, at \'ienna, or at St. Petersburg, though there tln ir importance mit>ht l)e discoveied, but I would direct any in quirer to go to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, pass along the Andes, on to C'ape Horn, thence from the Oronoco to Colombia—and who are they vyilhin these vast limits, that do not see in the frirndship of the Lion of Old l^ngland and the I'aRle ol'these United States, a shield m guard thcir struggles iV,- fil m cstaUlsIuneiit of their Independence? \es, Sir, who does not perceive the force of the observation attributed to Mr. Canning, when advej tingto the hap- j)y consequences of these good feelings, at a dinner at Liverpool, “Mother and Daughter against the world ?” Prom whence, sir, has this proud em inence of “ Mother and Daughter” ar isen, and wherein does it consist ? Certainly not from superior powers of body or mind, or from personal cour age, patient endurance of toil, or superi ority of climate j no, sir: for who sur passes France in arts, science, and mili tary fame ?—what people more endued with chivalrous bravery than the Span iards ?—what people huave death in the field with more unmoved courage than the German.^—what Russian ever receiv ed his death wound in his back ?—What then, sii-, is it ? Sir, it is in the predom inance of religious and commercial liber ty. I would just add, that it is my earnr est hope that Mother and Daughter may ere long exhibit a perfect example to the new empire in the south, in these fun damental pillars of National Independ ence, prosperity and glory. With this expression of my feelings upon this glo rious occasion, I beg leave to give : The Mother and Dauji'hter.—Oblivion to the past, with incrc.asc and perpetuity of harmony for the future. The Hon. Mr. Cambreleng made an appropriate reference to the liberal re- mai ks of the liritish ('onsul, and gave : Magna Charta.—The first charter of Human Freedom. The Hon. Mr. Stanley, one of the three members of the British Parliament who arrived in this country last season, sailed from N. York for England Thurs day week, in one of the Liverpool pack ets. These gentlemen (says the New- York Statesman) have, we believe, travel led over nearly the whole extent of the U. S, and Canada, and have, at all times, exhibited the temper, feelin|^s, and mod est deportment, of gentlemen of cultivat ed minds, anxious to accjuire accurate information of our country, its resources, and of the manners and customs of the people, and they have, on all occasions, received the friendly and polite attentions of our citizens with a correspondent spirit. The correspondent of the N. York Commercial Advertiser, in giving an ac count of the assemblage of persons a- round the Speaker’s Chair at the inaug uration of Mr. Adams on the 4th inst. says— “ W^ithin that little space was concen trated amass of intellectual strength, cal culated, when called into encrgetic ac tion, to shake this continent from one end to the other, and to cause its motion to be felt throughout the civilized world. —There, within a few feet of each other, stood Adams, and Monroe, and Clay, and Marshall, and Jackson, and Che\cs, and Calhotm, and Webster, and Story, and Emmet, and Tazewell, and Wirt. The explosion of a single shell would have created a chasm such as this country would have felt for a ccntury. ” In Pennsylvania, impeachments -have been ordered by the House of Assembly against three of their Judges—and the trial of Judge Franklin is now going for ward.—In Missouri, the impeachment of Judge Thomas of the Circuit court for the 4th Judicial District i'-. completed— the Senate have found him guilty—and he is accordingly dismissed.—In the youngest state, therefore, in the Union, impeachment is not what ithas been sometimes called “ a mere bugbear.” Richmond Compiler. Lucas’ Cabinet Atlas., a series of Maps, comprising the whole globe, and exhibit ing in a manner equally compreht'tisive and minute, its various states and em pires, has recently appeared in this coun try. It is by an American (ieograi)her. who has in jierson surveyed several of the American States. In addition to the dis tinctions ofempires and nations, you have here the particular delineation of every one of the American States, and of each of the West-Iudia Islands,*^ and the most acute representation hitherto published of the States of South America. It is rendered complete in a historical point of view, by the ancient maps which are placed in advance of fhe others* It is rendered interesting in another point of view, by priesenting graphical descrip tions of the heights of the mountains, and length of the various rivers on the globe. Its execution is excellent, and uii- commonly beautiful. Its size renders it an easy and convenient source of refer ence, and its price, con*^.idering the fact, that it contains one hundred and four dis tinct maps, makes it a mostchcap acqui sition to a scholar’s library. It is an American work too,and on this account is the more deserving of the pat- 1‘onage of our citizens. It is liighly spo ken of by the North American Preview. ' Chac. Courier.

M'illiamJean,\n\\iti fall assurance of a blessed immortality. If the tender assiduities of an aff ectionate wife ; if the prayers of the church; if the anxious solicitude of a numerous circle of Christian friends, could liave availed, he‘had not died.’ But ‘my thoughts are not your thoughts, neiUierare my ways your wayr., saith the Lord.’ The Rcv. William Jean wa» for many years a zealous and successful |)reaclicr in the Metho dist Episcopal Church. As a circuit preacher, as a presiding elder, and as a supi riunnerary, his labors were widely difl'used through this state and Virginia. As a preacher, he was plain, perspicuous, and energetic. Deeply versed in Bibh Divinity, he experienced no dif ficulty in e.\plaining it to his audicnce. His heart glowing- with zeal for tlie salvation of his fellow man, he urged the force of religious truths in a manner which his divine master was often , , , , , r 1 • • David Bookout, pleased to send home to the coii.scicnccs his ul;ilork hearers. In his retirement, the characteristics of the Christian were displayed in all his intcr- conrse with the world, till a lingering, a painful disease terminated his earthly career. During his long protracted illness, his mind rcnviiiied unimpaired. His conversation .was cheerful, ant! instructive. His confideiice in his Uedeemcr unshaken ; and \\ith a w ill perfectly resigned, he waited patiently for his blossed muster to call him home. “ Thty that turn many to right eousness shall shine as stars for ever and tver.” “ Blessed are the dead Which die in the Lord, from henceforth; yea, .salth the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their v.orks do follow them.” .lobn.son’s Work.s, 12 v.
