HE Commissioners of Charlotte rtquest
those who attend divine worship in the Brick
liurcli in Charlotte, to apply to Mr. (jrcen
Kendrick and engage their pews for the present
year.
In consequence of a debt that is due by the
corporation for part of the expense of building
the Church, the Commissioners are obliged to
1/^ase the pews to assist in discharging it. It is
therefore hoped that every person who attends
orship there, will take a pew or make some
proviMon that they may have a regular place to
sit in, and put a stop to the conijilaiiits now so
often made, that the owners of pews cannot get
into them. By order of the Board,

Mrs. Leigh, he has appointed John B. Cottrell
and Dr. D. K. Dunlap, of Charlotte, N. Carolina,
Agents for correcting impediments of speech.
The above named agents having received full

children, above three years of age, of respect
able parents, will be received. From this it
may be understood, that all adults must bring

Munk'ijjal Court, Bostori. A-
mongst those who were convictcii at
the June term of this Coui t, and who
received their sentences, on the 9th
inst. was Henry S. Livingston, for
stealing from the person of Soiooion
Clement, on the 4th of April, in the
New England Museum, S362—fil’teen
days solitary confinement, and four
years hard labor in the State Prison.
On being asked by the clerk, if he had
any thing to say, why sentence should
not be passed, Livingston remarked that
he had been convicted by a jury of his
countrymen, and had nothing to ofl'er
against the sentence of tiie court. He
was, he said, a very young man, and he
hoped that after he had sufl’ered tlie
punishment about to be inflicted, he
should come out reformed from jirison
and be able to convince the public that
he was a better man. He also stated to
the court that he was unwell, which
the court would perceive by the tone of
his voice, and also by the appearance of
bis tongue, (exhibiting it at the same to
the court.) It appeal.s from the report
of an officer of the Philadelphia police,
who was in the city for the purpose of
carrying the kidnapper lately arrested
hereto Philadelphia, that tliis ]\lr. Liv
ingston, although a i/oung ma?if is
an old offender ; that his real name is
Henry Lane ; and that he has been

inflicted will serve to ivhitc-waah him,
agieeably to his hopes, remains to be

The editor of the New York Evening
Post, foots up a complaining article with
ihe following direct thrust :—.
"So ^entkninn in the public
streets now-a days.”
The mallet used lately in the ceremony
of laying the foundation stone of the New
London University, was an objcct oi'
niu( h general curiosity, mingled with a
reeling of veneration, it was no (ilher
than the identical mallctt used in laying
ihe first stone in St. Paul’s (Jiilhedral, and
" i'!' presented by its great ar.'.hitect, Sir C.
k1 cub li^ W'ren, to the Ma-.onic Lodge of Antiqui-
'Vium'its IV, of which he was a member. The
use of this venerable ir.sit ument was al-
hiwed on this occasion by pcrinihjion oC
thcK. W'. M. of the Lodge.
prove that “ it was not for wantof sufli
cient understanding of the intent of the
act of Parliament, that the conditions of
it were not accepted by the United
States.”
1 have already had occasion to allude
to this part, of the subject, and, in speak
ing of it separately, may perhaps repeat
one or two remarks already made. If
this should have the eil'eet of making a
ubjeet, in itself somewhat perplexed,
more familiar, it need not be cause of
serious regret.
I shall show, on this head, that you
have fallen into every possible error
which could be committed on the sub
ject. Vou have mistaken
The time when, the debated subject
was introduced.
The place ivhere the debate occur
red,
lL\\QforJH of the question debated.
The substantial purport of the ques
tion debateil,
grounds, on which the decision
took place
I cannot think of
error in this matter,
will now show that
commuted.
These are not mere errors, be it ob
served, they are stated by you as facts,
justifying that most unprecedented and
unprovoked measure, the Order in Coun
cil of last July.
1st. The debated subject was not a
resolution introduced earlif in the ses
sion ; it was a report on a memorial of
the citizens of Baltimore. The memo
rial was introduced ten weeks alter the
commencement of the session, which
any person acquainted with our legisla
tion will tell you |lnot early for an im
portant subject. It was two months la
ter before the debate took place.
2nd. This debate was not in the
House of Representatives, but in the
Senate.
3d. The question debated was not on
a resolution to urge the Executive to ac
cept the provisions of the act of 1825.
'I’he two questions debated were, first,
on the report of the committee of com
merce^ that it was inexpedient to legis
late on 4lie subject, and second, on a bill
introduced from the committee of fi
nance, proposing to amend the law of
182;}.
The two first of these three errors
grant to be of no great importance.
The third is all important. The obvious
drift of your despatch is to justify your
self for precipitately breaking oft’ the
negotiation, by making it seem that the
Executive of the United States needed
to be urged to accejit the terms of the
act of 1«25, and that a slender executive
majority of two, (for it seems you have
counted our yeas and nays,) n.dnsed to
pass this urging resolution.. Your total
n^iseonception of this point is, therefore,
of the higliest imporfance, because the
exposure of it destroys your laboured
apology for breaking off the negotiation,
without warnit'ig, and issuing the Order
in Council. I re[>eat, therefore, as your
third error, in reference to the deijate,
th;it the (piestion debated was not on a
resolution, urgingtheexecuti ve, but on a
re.solution implying that it was inex|»e-
dient to alter the law and subsequently
on a bill altering it.
■Uh. You mistake the
probaljility in the supposition,
one Senator was opposed to the acc*p-
tance by the United States of what you
now’ declare to be the conditions ol that
act.
5th. Consequently, the groundf! of
the decision are totally misappreliended
i by you. You state, that the Senate (or
' as j*ou tirst call it, the House of Reprc*
sentatives, and then the legislaturc,
hitting on every thing but the right)
decided 16 to I I that the United States
would not accept the conditions of tho
iict of 182.') ; consequently, you leave it
to be implied that 16 were opposed to
this acceptance, on the part of the Uni
ted States. In your first letter to Mr,
Gallatin you make this representation
emphatically.
Now, sir, on the resolution of the com
mittee of commerce to be discharged
from the further consideration of the
subject, because it wa.s. inexpedient, at
this time, to legislate upon it, the debate
, alluded to arose. Gen. Smithbegan it a-
j gainsttherepoi't&resolution. Mr. Jjloyfl*
snhstantiat
jnirportoi the question debated. 'I’his
inigiil seem to be the same error wiiicli
i have just pointed out. But it is not.
The same question, in substance, ?ni;;ht
have arisen on a resolution urging the
I'xtculive, and on a legislative j)roposi-
tion. Y'ou have according;!v conli ived
I'or sale, ;tt tlTn
its support
lioports of the speech of Gen. Smith,
and of Mr. Lloyd’s first speech, vvere
published in the Intelligencer. 1 can
not find Mr. Tazewell’s speech, and do
notthinkit was reported, but it may liave
been. Mr. Lloyd’s second speech I
have strong reason to think was not re
ported. I take it for granted, then,
as you can scarcely have access to fuller
reports th?n those of the Intelligencer,
that when you allude to “ the debates,^'
you mean the two sjieeches of Gen.
Smith and Mr. Lloyd. And you leave
it to be understood, that one of tl.e.se
gentlemen (Gen. Smith of course) main
tained that the United States ought to
accept the conditions of the act of IS25,
and that the other gentleman, Mr.
Floyd, maintained that the United States
ought not to accept them.
If you do not mean this, there is no
meaning nor relevancy in what you say
about the debates.
To show then, sir, that you have not
read the debates, (I would by no means
intimate that you intentionally misre
present them,) I will make a few quota
tions from them :
“I believe, Mr. Ch.airman,”said Gen. Smith,
‘i that there is no dijjrrence nf opinion ,■ that all
who have coiiKidered the subject, ngree • that
all our disi'riminaling diitie» ought to be re-
peale«l,’ as far as they relate to thr subji ct be
fore us. 'I'he only dift'ercnce is the manner.
The committee of commerce think it l>etter
to be done by negotiation. Others think it.
can be efFected by an act of (;ongress, which
shall meet at once, and without delay, the very
liberal ofl’ers of Gn-at Hritain, made by her act
of Parliiiinent of 27th June, and her two acts
of 5th July, iSJi.”
Here you peceive that Gen. Smith
implicitely states, that there was no dif
ference of opinion, as to what ought to
ho (done, but only as to the manner of
doing it.
My business is not now with Gen.
Smith, nor shall I meddle, on this occa
sion, with the reasons w'liich In- gavefor
prcfi-rring legislation to negotiation.
As^ain, the General said —
“ lit fore t proceed lo tuke a general view of
the ;.(it>jrrt, I think it best to examine tin re
port ot tin- rommittee of cfniinurct'. i bavfj
very seldom dilfeK'd with the very able f lutii-

In fact, we do not now ilifi'i.r on thr
hjcrt, we only diifer ^ks to t!ie Ust mode
of ol)taiiiing the.^a/n^ object.”
'I'he only passage in Mr. Lloyd’s re
ply, hearing on this matter, is the fol
lowing.
“ .\s be understood the gentleman from Ma-
r; laud ((icn. Smith) to s,i\ tbiit there was no
