CHARLOTTE:
1 UESUAY, AUGUST 7, 1827.
In pursuance of Mr. Hamilton’s plan,
incclings continue to be got up, in ihe
lower parts of South-Carolina, in opposi
tion to the Woollens Hill. We see no barm
in this, if the meetings were characteri
zed by a proper spirit; if their proceed
ings were confined to a temperate but firm
remonstrance against measures which are
deemed impolitic and injurious; but such
is not their character. Instead of deal
ing in arguments, they resort to threats j
and a separation of the Union is threat
ened, as though it were an event easily tu
be accomplished, and greatly preferable
».o an increase of the duty on coarse wool
lens! But a dissolution oi the Union will
not. be so easily etFected as these resolu-
■aon-makers seem to imagine; and it is
time they should know, if there be any
meaning in their threats, that a thousand
would rise at once to punish the treason,
>v,here one would be found to abet it.—-
There is no excitement among the peo
ple ; anci the exertions of a few disap
pointed aspirants to office will fail to pro
duce any. W'hen the people are oppres-
fd and their rights trampled on, they
will be quick enough to perceive it, and
prompt to redress themselves j until then,
they will be content to live under a gov-
crnmeDt that is felt only in the benefits
which it confers and the protection it
affords.
Doih lie take up a newspaper, the words,
‘ Gon.JacUson to Carter licverly, Esquire’
—‘ Carter lieveily, Esquire, to Gen. An
drew Jackson’—salute his eye at every
turn. To figure in the newspapers as
the confidential correspondent of Gen.
Jackson—to be the mighty instrument of
rupture between him and Mr. Clay—to
have his name associated with theirs in
every political conversation—’tis felicity
inexpressible. To have any just concep
tion of the immensity of his bliss, the
reader cugU to know the man.”
A dinner was given to Mr. Clay, ai
Lexington, Ken. on the 12th July, at
which were present 1500 persons. Mr.
Clay, on being toasted, made a speech,
in which, says the Reporter, he animad
verted freely upon the course pursued by
his enemies, since the last Presidential
Election. Gen. Jackson’s conduct, and
particularly his letter to Carter Beverly,
Esquire, were subjected to a severe anal
ysis in this powerful address, and the in
justice of these reiterated attacks was
plainly exhibited.
The Maryland Slate Convention ad
journed on the 24th ult. The proceed
ings of this meeting will have a highly
auspicious influence. An address, con
taining an able and dispassionate appeal
to the people of Maryland, was adopted,
and 5000 copies ordered to be printed.
We are requested to announce Mr-
.Andrew IValkcr, as a candidate to rei)rt-
sent this county in the Senate of the next
General Assembly.
The State Convention of Maryland,
romposed of Delegates from every coun
ty in the state, assembled at Baltimore
cn Monday, the 23d ult. Such a volun
tary assemblage of citizens from all the
counties, shows the strength of the Ad
ministration in Maryland, and the strong
hold which it has on the confidence of
the people. The Baltimore Patriot says
—“ This Convention, in point of num
bers, age, talent and personal worth, is
greater by far than any ever assembled
in this State on any similar occasion.”
The number of Delegates in the Conven
tion is 236.
Mr. Gai.ks, editor of the National In-
tclligencer, has befn elected Mayor of
the City of Washington. This evidence
«f the confidence reposed in Mr. Gales
by bis neighbors and townsmen, is very
iroublesome to DuflT Green: but Duif
should not let so trivial a matter disturb
him, when far more serious troubles a-
wait him. His residence in Washington
will not be very long; and he will soon
be permitted to return to the wilds of
Missouri.
Dufi* Green denies that Gen. Jackson
is Mr. Clay’s public accuser, and accuses
Ivlr. Clay of unfairness in styling him
such. Gen. JacTtson, says Duff, is bound
to do nothing more than give up the
name of his informer. On the other
hand, the People i Advocate^ another Jack
son paper, says—“ We do not believe that
tlcn. Jackson will avail himself of such
an unworthy subterfuge. He, like every
other citizen of the U. States, who pre
fers criminal charges against a public
character, is bound to prove them, wheth
er he has obligated himself, by a specific
pledge, to do so or not. He has prefer
red general charges against the Secreta
ry of State, and with what grace can he
■now say, ‘I have only pledged to prove a
part of these charges r’ Away with such
detestable quibbling! Gen. Jackson is a-
I)ove it.” The editor of the Advocate is
right in his opinion of what is Gen. Jack
son’s duty ; but the General has no idea
of doing what the Advocate so confident
1y anticipates he will and is prepured to
do. DufT Green knows all about it j he
is aware how the matter will terminate ;
and is already preparing his readers for
^lie disappointment which will be felt by
all the friends of the General not in the
eccret. The editor of the Aflvocate,
00, may as well prepare himself for it at
once.
Carter Bn'erii,, Esquire. The Rich
mond Whig affirms, that if there is i
Jiappy man in America, Carter Beverly,
iisquire, is that man. “ (MIut nv n rnaki

Extract of a Letter from a member of the Greek
Committee in London, to Dr. fVm, Thornton^
of tke City of JVashington.
“ The Porte will not listen to any overtures
for the pucification of Greece, thotigh strenu
ously urged by the Kn};lish and the Russian
Ambassadors at Constantinople. In the mean
time, the Turks are r(.-inforcin{f their armies in
Greece, which ar^ disciplined after the Kurope-
an manner. There will be some desperate
fighting; but, as is stated in the proclamation of
Lord Cochrane, the siepre of Athens is raised,
and Attica is free from the presence of the en
emy. The energy of I.ord Cochrane, if he be
provided with money and provisions, will ac-
com,'lish much ; already he has effected a union
of the two Greek Assemblies. Cit neral Cliurcli,
an excellent and experienced officer, will com
mand tlie land forces, and the brave, active,
and persevering Col. Fabvicr commands in the
Acropolis ot Athens. The hopes of Greece
are revived ; her ultimate success, however dis
tant, is certain ; and it may be a propliecy veri
fied by events that the Turks will, within twen
ty years, be driven from Constantinoplc, and
compelled to retire to their Asiatic Territories.”

As>ronomy—?rcchc\y five months and
twpnty-six days alter the total eclipse at
New York, to wit, on .the 7th August,
1831, the Sun will godown almost totally
eclipsed to the inhabitants of Geo. The
dark ness of midnight will prevail at sun
set—the stars Capella, Regulus. Spica,
Virginis, Antares, Lyra and some others
will come out to view the Phenomenon.
The period of greatest darkness will be
about a quarter before six in the evening,
when the air will be chilly. Just a fortnight
afterwards there will be a partial eclipse
of the moon ; and, to complete the
wonders of that year—just a fortnight
after the New York eclipse of the Sun,
there will also be another eclipse of the
Moon. It is truly an occurrence that
may not happen again for many years—
when two total eclipses of the Sun are
visible the same year, in the same hem
isphere, each succeeded by a lunary
eclipse within the lapse of two wet'ks.

David Cusick, an Indian of the Tuaca-
rora tribe, has recently published, in Lew-
istown, Niagara county, N. Y. a book
entitled “Sketches of the ancient history
of the Six Nations : comprising, first, a
tale cf the foundation of the Cireat Island,
now North America, the two infants born,
and the creation of the universe. 2d. A
real acco'int of the settlement of
North-America, and their dissensions.
3d. Origin of the kingdom of the Five
Nations, which was called “ a long housej
the wars, fierce animals, &c.” Cusick,
who has thus placed himself at once
among the literati of our country, has
embodied in his work the traditions of
his nation, and given a most interesting
narrative to the public, told, as we gather,
in the phraseology of the people of his
complexion.—Ail«s.
Mexico.—We learn, says the New-York
Mercantile Advertiser, by a passenger in
the Tobasco, from Vera Cruz and Tam
pico, that some events of interest had
occurred in Mexico since the date of our
former advices, but we have not been a-
ble to obtain the particulars. The Mex
ican Minister of Finance had been order
ed to leave the country. He was to be
immediately escorted to Vera Cruz, imd
was allowed but forty-eight hours to find
a conveyance from that port. The priest
Arenas., who was concerned in the late
attempt at insurrection, had been shot.
We also learn that a great mercatitile
house in the city of Mexico had failed,
and was deficient to the amount ol g800,
000, the creditors principally in Europe
and the United Stales.
The IVest India Squadron.—It is stated
in the Norfolk Beacon that orders have
been issued from the Navy Department,
to the commander of the West India
Squadron, to rendezvous, without delay,
with his whole force at Key West. Wc
surmise that this movement has some
connection with the remonstrances said
to have been recently made to our Gov
ernment, by the Spanish Minister at
Washington, against Com. Porter’s be
ing permitted to make use of that as a
neutral port. Balt. Put.
In the French Chambers, M. Dupont
lately moved for the appointment ofa«/w-
mittee oj Refutation^, whose duty it should
be to give the lie to all the falsehoods is
sued from the press.—The chief difficulty
urged against the motion was the impo
siliility of finding a Commiitce who would
undergo the labor of the office.
It is stated in a Frankfort paper, that a
Mr. Idolar, in Ikriiii, has endeavoured
to prove that there is considerable error
in our calculation of the Christian era.
According to his calculations, the birth
of our Saviour happened six years earlier
than has hitherto been assumed, and that,
consequently, the present year is not 1827,
but 1833.
No person confined to the House of
Correction in Worcester, Massacliusetts,
as a common drunkard, is hereafter to he
discharged without a certificate from a
doctor that he has submiltcd to rncditai
ireatmcat ftr r. c’lre. _
Astonishing.—Thr Black Rock Erie Co.
Gazette states that some unfeeling boys, a
few days since, took a dog, and threw
him into the rapids of the Niagara river,
just above the Falls, and that the poor
animal, in despite of his exertions, was
precipitated over the stupendous preci
pice; when, strange to record, the dog
was discQvered in the tumbling flood, by
the ferryman, pulling for the shore; up
on reaching which, he was found to
have sustained only a slight injury on
one of his legs.
From the New York Times.
Mk. Clay, we understand, will visit our
state and city on his return from Ken
tucky to Washington. He isexjiected
i(» arrive at Buffalo about this time, and
will proceed hither by the Erie Canal.
He will of course be honored with in
sinuations in ;>bundanre, setting forth
that his tour is made for electioneering
purposes, but these will pass for what
I hey are woi th—nothing—and Mr. Clay
will r-'ceive those civilities and cour-
esies.dneto his high station and distin
guished merits as a citizen.
From the N. Y. National Advocate.

It will be seen by the above statement
that Mr. -\dams will be re-elected, even

One of the fatly fcrs of this tnuntry
having been in tin- practice of vi.sitinjf
Conn. for a number of years, on the annual
return of the first of May, oa which oc
casion a dog, which he had brought with
him on his first removal in this slate,
was a party in his sojourns. This indi
vidual died about three years since; since
which the dog has regularly peregrinated
to his native slate—that land (f pwripkins^
beauty, and happiness.
The first journey of this animal after
the death of his master, caused serious
apprehensions for his safety ; in fact. hB
was given up as a gone dog.”—He,
however, icturnod after an absence of a-
bout the.same extent as ihat of his d«r
ceased master’s visits. On the return of
the same season lie “took leave of ab
sence,” and has recently returned, much
travel worn and foot sore, from the same
pilgrimage, somewhat disaffected at the
dii( liction in politics of his “steady hab
it” friends.—Jioihester X K Tiltgn/ph.
■\Ve have heard the following anecdotf, whiofc
places ill a strong' li^ht the fearKss courage of
the Superintendent of the Sing Sing' State Pri
son (in New York,) and the salutary awe with
whieh he has inspired the criminals under lus
cli.irpe. Having had occasion lo inflict some
severe pnnibhment upon two or three of the
convicts after they ha«l ri:tired among their f-'l- ,
lows, one of theni w as heard to declare in thtt ■
most solf-mn n»'»iuier, and with a tremeniloui
oath, th.'it he “ wouUl be the death of the su
perintendent,” whenever a fair opportunity of
fered. '1 hi.s declaration w'as conveycd to him
by a convict who overheard it. On the f'ol-
low ing niorning, the superintendent v ent trt
tlie er!l of tlie convict who had threatened him»
carryinjy in his hand his shaving utensils. Hff
locked the door, put the key in liis pocket, and
silting down, ordered the convict to shave him.
The fellow, surprised at this novel command,
procenU-d, not without trepidation, to perforin
the task iniposed upon him. He finished tiic
operation in good style.' The superintendent
then rose, and si.id to him, “are you not asham
ed to make a tlireat, which your cowardico
will not allow you to carry into execution ? I
have heard of your having sw’orn to taki my
life, and came liere to show you that it did not
frighten me, and to let you know what kind of
a man you have lo deal with.” jlmer.

in which there was a warm contest be
tween the advocates of Mr. Adams and

him on the back exclaimed,“ Come, let’s
go in and give the Jackson candidates a

Striking remark.—The man must sure,
ly be unused lo reflection, or wilfully
blind, who does not behold among “ the
signs of the times,” the wheel of a great
revolution rolling irresistibly onward,
whose velocity is increasing and must
continue to increase, until the purpose of
Him who gave it impulse and regulates
its motion, shall have been finally and fully*
accomplished. The “image” has alrea
dy been “ smitten }” and the “ Slone that
was cut cut of the mountain without
hands” is filling the “ whole/earth.” Who
is not struck with the remarkable accord
ance of prophecy with the events of this
age ?
