77/E JMEIilCJJ.Y SYSTEM,
From the Charleston S. C. Gazette.
To thkOld Dfmoch.vtb.—It has been
with feelings of regret becoming true
patriots, thatybti must have seen the pro
gress of a political revolution in this
State, which is now avowed to lie fast
tending to a dissolution of the Union,
and, as an inevitable consetjuencc, an al
liance M’ith England. And what is the
pretence ? why, because the majority of
the Representatives of the People will
not tamely submit to tlie exclusion of our
products, and to our longer dependence
on England for the ordinary necessaries
of life. The predictions of the repub
lican party, that the success of aristo
cracy wouid rapidly lead on to a return
to colonial vassalage, are verifying every
day. Who are the men who rejoice in
the downlall of the republican party ?
They are aptly described—“ With re
publicanism ever in their mouths, they
are aristocrats in manners and feelings,
and in politics.” Now, I propo.se to
show, that VVashington, JefiVrson, Mad
ison, and Monroe, each warmly advocat
ed the Anrjcricun system, the old repnhli-
ean syslan, w hen men were proud to wear
homespun. And the war of 1812 first
gave impulse to that system which has
done more than our arms to bring En
gland to her senses. If her army did not
help the nobVJlii to repress the people^ the
corn bill would be insisted on, an|f our
bread stufls v.^ould in a measure, be ad
mitted ; and Andrew Jackson will have
done more by his votes on the tarifi* to
humble t!ie pride of I'ngland, than even
he did by his arms. But I repeat, it we
m'j .t ipiit sucli tutors as Dr. Cooper, and
listen to our ov*n patriots—and I will be
gin with our own patriots. OLD 76,

“Congress have repeatedly, and not
without success, directed their attention
to the encouragement of manufactures !
The object is of too much consequence
not to insure a continuance of their efforts
in every way which shall appear eligible.
As a general rule, manufactures on pub-
j lir account are inexpedient. But where

' erations of national policy, as an excep

country to remain in such cases dependent

ble to he interrupted ? If the necessary
article should, in this mode, cost more in
time of peace, will not the security and
independence thence arising, form an am
ple compensation ? Establishments of
this son, commensurate only 'vith the
calls ol'tlie public service in time of jjeace,
will in time of war, easily be extended in
proj)ortion to the exigencies of the gov
ernment, and may even, perhaps, be
made to yield a surplus of the supply of
of our citizens at large, So as to mitigate
the privations from the interruption of
our trade. If adopted, the plan ought to
exclude all those branches which arc al
ready, or likely soon to be established in
the country ; in order that theie may be
tio danger of interle'rence vviih pursuits
of individual industry.”

Law Latin.—When Judge Paine firs*
came to the bench, he prided himself or\
his scholastic accuracy, and often correct
ed the verbal errors of the lawyers. Onft
morning he came to court with a red
bandanna tied crosswise over his heady
to conceal one eye, which had been
somehow injured—this appendage dC"
tracttd somewhat from liis dignity oa
the bench. At that time Governoi*
Strong was at the bar, and in making;'
some remarks, used the law phrase cui
bojio, pronouncing it ki. *^Ku-i bono^' saidL
Jndg** Paine ; and observing that. Mr-
Strong stood .silent, he repeated it, ^^Ku-i
bono, M r. St rang, Ku-i. ” The barrister’#
face then lighted up, with one ol thoso
internal illustrations of satisfaction that,
with him, seldom degenerated into a
smile, and he said, to the utter extacy ot
his brethren—May it please your honor,
when I was a boy, and was taught to
scan, r used to say, “ Monstrum hor-«
remltmi informe ingens cui lumen ademp«

The cjuotation from Virgil he scanned,
and pronounced the word in dispute ki.

entirely cured the Judge of his folly.

A candidate for the state legislature
in Ohio, is recommended upon two qual-
lifications—first, that he is a friend to
General Jackson ; and, secondly, that ho
will serve for sixty-eight cents per day. A
man may, in our opinion, be a very good
legislator, a very honest man, and a good
friend to General Jackson ; but the maa
who values his services at only sixiy-eighS
cents per day, can be but a ‘scurvy poli
tician.*
The New Haven Herald mention^*
that a Mr. Value, a French gentleman
who fled from St. Domingo, and who for
the last 20 years has maintained himself
in that city, by teaching dancing and
‘drawing the bovp,’has received from the
French Government the award of 550,-
000 francs, as his portion of the sum
guaranteed by the Hatyen Governme'nt,
in part jiayment for a large estate whiclt
he lost in the insurrection. How mucU
better is a ‘ fiddle stick,’ for trouble, than
a dose of laudanum? How much mom
preferable the cat-gut, than the hemix

Messrs. Carey, Lea Sc Carey have rc*
ceived a portion of Mr. Cooper’s new*
novel, “ The Red Hover,'' and will imme
diately put it to press. It is intended to
publish it in October or November. The
scene commences in Rhode Island, and
the work opens with a fine description of
the beautiful bay and harbor of Newport.
It is a Sea Story, much may conseiuent-
ly be expected : for as soon as this wri
ter gets upon the ocean, he is perfectly
at home.
A new work is in the Press in N. Yorl:,
entitled “The Legend of the Uflck I” It:
is written by Mr. James Mack, a youth
of that city, in his seventeenth year, who i^
deaf and dumb, and was instructeil at tho
New York Institution. It is pronounccd
to be an extraordinary production.
The town of Washington, in Georgla-i
and the country surrounding it, is at
present afflicted with a fever which is
most fatal in its progress. It is described
as follows by the editor of ihe“News,*'
who says the mortality is only surpassed
by that which prevailed in Savannah, ia
1820 :
“ In many families there is not left one
untouched of disease, to adminisKM* to
another. Our enterprising and humano
physicians are nearly broken down with
excessive fatigue, or sinking, themselves*
before the ravages of tho distemper. In
truth, our boast of salubrity of climate,
may not now bo uttered. Our valley are
on longer teiianfable, our plains melt to
the burnings of a inaligTiant sun. Our
j mountains are climlied liy contagion—oui»
hills and fountains imbibe its pernicious
influence. Neither in the cottage, in the
grotto, nor in ihe grove, have we a refug©
from the shal't of pestilence. The young,
the middle aged, and the aged, alike fall
the victims of its power Our houses
are hiuigwith mourning; our hearts with
sorrow : and our grave yards are literally
