Horrid Affair.—We understand that the Avife of
a Mr. Hinkhy in the adjoining County of Lincoln,
was taken up a few days since, and, after trial be
fore a court of magistrates, committed to prison,
charged with the murder of her own slave, an aged
negro woman. It would be improper for us at this
time to give the particulars of this horrid aflliir.
We inay state, however, that the body of the negro
was found at a spring some distance from the house.
She had doubtless been murdered at the house, as
the floor was stained w’ith blood; and, after being
stripped of her clothing, was dragged over a fence
down to where the body was found. Tiie verdict
of the jury of inquest was, that the negro had been
murdered by IVIrs. Hinkle. When arrested, IVIrs.
H. was i/iloxicatcd, and a bottle of spirits was found
Gen. Jackson for signing the Sub-Treasury law
when it was not passed until three years after he went
out of office. It hops ofT to the Specie Circular, for
issuing which it saj’s wc abused Gen. Jackson.-—
We admit having censured the President for issu
ing that circular; but, like thousands of others who
then thought with us on that subject, time, and the
benign influences of the measure, have removed our
objections and convinced us of the wisdom of the act.
Experience has shown that the country would have
been greatly bcnefiUed iiad the Specie Circular, or
some similar measure, been issued and enforced
two years sooner than it was.
Wc do not deny, either, having expressed our
satisfaction at the re-election of Henry Clai) to the i in the spring near the dead body of the negro!

that time? W’as he engaged in pressing upon the
country an unconstitutional Bank; a burdensome
TarifT to ruin the South; a National Debt; an ex
travagant Government; a system of heartless pro
scription for opinion’s sake ? Had he, by the in
trigues of a Caucus and party thill, broken down
ihe independence of Congress, and made its legisla
tion depend upon his beck and nod? No! lie

Journal of Banking.—-We return our thanks
to i\Ir. Gouoe, Editor of tho “Journal of Bank
ing,’’ for all the Nos. of his valuable work up to
the eighth. Having just rectdved thorn by the
last mail, we can only say that the Journal’s ap
pearance fully meets our expectation.*?, and w’C hope
hereafter to enrich our columns from its pages.
We subjoin, from the eighth No., the plan and ob
jects of the w'ork;
Oijecl of this Journal.—As this nujiiber may fall
into the IkukIs of many perc^ons wiio may not have
.seen any of our previous publications, it may bo
proper, lo prevent nii^itakes, to state our views and
abiect.s r.s explicitly as can be ilone in a fe^v Avortis.
look upon our priv^ent banking syst»'ni as r«'s-
ting on prini;i])les which are Jun'Jiunentalhj trro-
Banks and bankcj’s of soint^ kind, llierc mu.st be.
we know, in every commercial country. But wi;
see no reason v.diy banks sliould be in*orporated in-
i>titULion?, and why privileges should be conferred
on banktT. which arc denied to butchers and ba
ker?.
W'e do not contend ior an f'.rcln.'iirr metallic inedi-
7r,n : Init wc l>nIievo tliat the .monf.v ot’the comi-
try should he (‘.rrlnjii'reh/ metallic. To this metalhc
ni )uey we wouhl add I’ill.-^ of l"iXcliange, and such
other {{ev'ices as merchants iiiioht choose to adopr
for economising the use of specie. To l^aidv notes
of such denouunatioiiij as v.-oiiKl make them vtpre-
seutatii'os of hona fulc bills oj c.vchunge. we would
not particularly object.
The banking system has tor many year? bren our
especial study. We regard it as the chi'f cause
ot our social evils. We look upon it, as at present
constituteil and at present conducted, as an instru-
n\ent so very powerful in itself', that, if every thing
else in tlie cousitry were rigiit, it would soon put
every tiling wrong. "We cannot in a few worils i
fiivc the reasons ot this belief. They (unhrace a |
multitude of tacts and arguments which will be set )
Ibrih in tliis Jounia!. i
But wn favor no rash measures lor getting riil oi’
the system. Such measures would ilo even mi^re
f'vil than the system it^;elf produce.^. Nothing can
be fairer than to allow men wdio contracted itehts in
bank currency, an opportunity of paying such debts
in currency of the same value; and it will gratify
us high’iy, if every man who lias ]iaid honestly for
baiik stock, could get every dollar back and inve-t j
it in some othrr way. There is in^ojisistency m i
abhorring die j)r«‘Sv‘ut liaiiking .'-ystoui. and la wisli- j
j ing well to the stockholders. [
• Yet W'C do not think that a dr.o reuard to cx.lsi.ing j
' interesis siiould c.ause the people to he timid or in
; decisive iti nica.s’n'es of re!or;n. The longer t!ie
I nece.^sary measures of rel'orm .are deferreil, the
I greater will tlio. evil hecomo, and in a vain effort to
! s(’cure *'tlie exi.-iing interests” ot’a small ])art of
m’ic i!0niniiinity, the ]M*rmane>»l interrsts of tlie whole

r i .stockholders in tlie United States# Bank, and many
Other banks, would not have occasion to lament the

FROM EUROPE.
The Steamship Columbia arrived at Boston on
the 23d ult., bringing dates from England to the 5th
The New York American says, but little news of
interest w^as brought by the Columbia.
The Britannia arrived at Liverpool on the eve
ning of the 30th Sept. The news of the chang in
the Cabinet, and the subsequent disgraceful procee
dings in tho House; the fight between Wise and
Stanly, &c., created quite an excitement in England.
The Liverpool Chronicle ofthe 5th ult., speaking
of Mr. Ew’ing’s celebrated letter, says—“ The let
ter is written with much bitterness, and, if the alle
gations are true, it places the vacillating conduct of
the President in a very unenviable light. Still, it
is evident from the tone of fervor and sincerity
which pervades the wdiolo of the message to Con
gress, on returning the bill unsigned, that hou'ever
mistaken, the Presideiit is sincere and honest in his
oj)posi(ion to tin? measure.”

career, forty millions of dollars. Here then is a
destruction of property to the extent of thirty-seven
millions of dollars.
It is in the present order of human affairs that
men who steal twenty dollars from their neighbors,
aro confined in penitentiaries and branded with in
famy, But the plunderers of millions hold up their
heads among men, and are encouraged to new en
terprises. A few curses from the plundered, in
some cases accompanied by bitter tears, fall upoti
their heads, and soon the remembrance of their
crimes seems biotted from the minds of men.
Why is this? It is one of the fruits of special
privilege. We have gentlemen in crime and every
thing else. W’’hat a farmer or mechanic would be
sent to the penitentiary for doing, a banker may do
with impunity. The time was when lords in Eu
rope could iniu’der human beings and escape the
punishment inflicted oti common men, by paying a j
sum of money. We sec among us the working of!
tho same principle. Our bank lords may commit I
robberies of the most aggravated kind and go free of
punishment without even paying a sum of money!
•Money has made them gentlemen. They have
been elevated by unjust laws above their fellow
men, and they are treated as superiors even in their
crimes.
Is there no remedy? A remedy will be found
when the tanning, planting, and mechanic interests
ofthe country understand their true interests, and
take appropriate measures to promote them.

The Monmnent on Bunker Hill has become an
imposing object It has risen to the heigth of one
hundred and sixty-tive feet, and maj'’ be seen from
various poii'.ts at the distance of many miles. 'I'o
a spectator in its immediate vicinity, the eliect of ibis
simple, unembelished column of granite is a sensa
tion of sublimity. From the op, the view is inex
pressibly grand and beautiful; while few persons
can stand near its base and look at the top without
a feeling ot awe and veneration. Tho work, w'e
believe, is now' suspended for the season, to be re
newed again in the sprifjg, nnd prosecutcd with vi
gor to its completion. The builder, Mr. Savage,
is allowed by contract till October, 1843, to com

wrougiit the present season, we have no doubt he

candidates for CJovernor! They were so certain of
being elected that they could not restrain their boast
ing congratulations three months in advance of the

die people w'ould so soon and so effectually pros

al, and such as encroach upon Executiv'c rights,
wouhl be an improvement, but to strike iVom the ;
Constitution (til negative power on the part of the j
President, would be at once to consign the country |
to the will of an irresponsible majority in C'Ongress. |
or, in otiier words, make the will ofthe majority the
Constitution, l^pon all such doctrine as this wc cm- j
phatically put our veto. It is true the States would i
still possess the Tinfpiestionable right which they now j
posses.s, lo guard their own sovereignty, and ])rotecf j
themsclv'cs from the operation of unconstitutional
and oppressive laws; but if a bare majority in ('on-
gress were alloAved to enact all laws, independent
ot' tho sanction ot' the President, the probability is
that the States Avould fmd occasion to throw them
selves upon their reserved rights more frequently
than they have in the past history of die Govern
ment.”
.1 Challenge.—The owner of Boston comes out in
•‘The Spirit of the Times” with a challenge to all
the world for -S 15,000, as Ibllows:
‘•I will run my horse Boston, Four Mile Heats,
against any two horses; in the world, for Twenty
Thousand Dollars each heat. That is. I will run
Boston one heat against one of the two horses
that may be matched against him, while the other
remains in the stable: and the second heat against
the fresh horse. Should there be broken heats, the
choice of the two horses must be started against
Boston for the deciding heat. To .secure the match, I
w’ill run it over any course in the United States the
opposite party may designate, and 1 will also bet
them Five Thousand Dollars more that Boston
wins the match in two heats.”

No man can be a good Whig and abuse Henry
Clay; for he is the very type and personificcilion of
Whig doc trines.”—Salisbunj Watchman.
AVhat think you of this doctrine, Republiccji
Whigs ? Are you prepared to admit, that blind dc-
vofion to Henry Clay constitutes your claim to the
titde of Whig? Is man-icorship the sum total of
whig principles? Yes; according to the Salisburv
Watchman, you must trample down the Constitu
tion, scout republican liberty from the land, and fall
down in blind worship of “ Flarry of the West,”
or you arc “ 7io TF/zz’^.” Oh, the beauty of •*' Whig

The town of Gcorgetoicn, S. C., was visited with
a dreadful fire on the night of the 18th inst., wdiich
destroyed the business part of the town. The loss
is estimated at 8300,000. The fire commenced at
the residence of Mr. C. A. Magill, which w^as set
on fire by some incendiary.—Standard.
A new mode of dispersing mobs has been disco
vered out Avest, wdiich is said to supersede the ne
cessity of a military ibrcc. It is, to pass around a
contrihution box.-
Tiie Madisonian says, that every member of the
Cai)inet is, wdth one exception (Mr. AVebster,) a
supporter of the principles upon which Gen. Jack
son came mto power in 1829;”—and that “with
John Tyler at tho head of the CJovernnient, and
such men at the head of the respective Departments,
may w'o not confidently expect not ouly an honest
Republican Administration, but one also of great
ability and energy ?”
The N. Y. Times states, that There is a ru
mor in AA^'ashington, that Mr. AVcbster is about to
retire from tho (Jabinet, AVe have been impressed
with the belief that as soon as the McLeod trial
w’as finished, and our foreign relations assumed a
more settled aspect, that Mr. AVebster w’ould retire.
It is, moreover, rumored that Mr. AVebster may
make this city his residence, and resume the prac-
ticc of the law" here, instead of Boston.”
Of the next election, and the late result, the New’
York Herald discourses at large, but comes to this
conclusion:
The result of the next election will also settle
forever the question of a National Bank, and Hen
ry Clay’s chance for the Presidency. There is
every symptom that, in consequence of the folly
and madness exemplified in the AVashington and
Syracuse manifestoes—t4ie first written by Mr. Ken
nedy, of Baltimore, and the latter by Mr. Bar
nard, of Albany, the Whig party, under their pre
sent organization, null be routed, from Sandy Hook
to Niagara Falls.”
As a corollary we have the following:
