NOKTE CAROLINA iSENTlNOBlL, J & ? rir ifTlBEHTT. TH ?. CONST ITUTIO.V CMO-V. THESETINBL NEWBJSRN: FRIDAY. JUIiY6. 1H32 Whatever our deficiencies maybe in other respects, v?e arc never behind our neighbours in doing honor to the anniversary of the day on which we declared our selves a free people. On that day, conflicting politi cal interests, sectarian acerbity, and all kinds of do mestic bickerings give place to patriotism, to the pure enirit that stirred the hearts ot our lathers m TO. The rising sun was saluted by cannonry and mus ketry, ami the merry pealing of the bells spoke the fi'plint? which had drawn our citizens from yij " : n their couches. The Newbern Grays, to whose ar .onfTPmp.nts we are ceneraiiy indebted on such occa- eions. gave eclat to the commencement of the cele bration by a protracted parade. At nine o'clock they joined their fellow citizens in the Presbyterian church: where, after prayer by the Rev; Mr. Hurd, and the reading of the Declaration of Independence by Mr, Saml Oliver, jun.Mr. John A. Backhouse, one of their company, delivered with his usual good taste, an excellent ami appropriate oration. Immediately after the oration, Mr. Hurd addressed the audience in behalf of the Colonization Society. This was indeed a most suitable time to enlist our feelings in favor of this laudable, and benevolent association. On the anni versary of our political birth, while congratulating each other on our escape from the debasing and op pressive domination of a foreign power, cold hearted indeed must he be who could withhold his mite from such a cause. Throughout the remainder ot the day the greatest hiliarity and rational enjoyment prevail ed, and the celebratiori terminated by a splendid dis play of fire works. J J3y receut arrivals at New York, the report of the recall of the Grey ministry is fully confirmed. The $ing had requested the Duke of Wellington to form cabinet, but so fixed was the determination of the people to accept nothing less than the Bill now before Parliament, that men of influence on the Tory side declined all participation in the affairs of government. It may be said that the firmness of the people has sa ived the nation, and achieved a revolution far more glorious than that oi the much talked of 'three days' in Paris. From the previous course of the King we had anticipated an unwavering co-operation on hie part in the business of reform: this dereliction recalls wrongly to mind the days of Runnymede and the childish vacillations of the pusillanimous John. The enterprising disposition of the subjects of Britain, their vast wealth, profound learning, and untiring industry have long been the theme of the historian and the subject of the orator; but that hey should possess all these qualifications for self-government, and permit themselves to be enslaved by the overgrown and pam pered vampyres of both church and state, is to us a paradox as inexplicable as was Pharoah's dream to the soothsayers of Egypt. We long to see those pests of society reduced to their proper sphere, and to w?e the poor man converting the proceeds of his toil iP the support of his family. to exist in this hemisphere. This cheering hope is predicated on the following, and similar extracts : Montreal, June 25. " We are most hapfy to tell you that the Cholera seems almost entirely to have deserted Quebec and this city. Only now and then a case, some of which however, are severe ; but it seems to be branching off in all directionin the coun try, and into the. upper provinces, as well where emigrants go as where they do not go ; and in many places in the country where it has broken out, there acems the same severity and fatality as was experi enced in Quebec and here at first." From NeUson's Gazette, June 22. CHOLERA. We can state with confidence that this malady has somewhat abated. In the Upper Town we have not heard of any new cases to-day or yesterday. In most parts of the Lower Town also the disease has near ly disappeared. It is stated thapeome cases occur among the shipping at l'Ancfrles Meres and the coves. There are still cases of cholera in St. Lewis, St. John's, St Roch's and St. Valier's Suburb's; but in general the disease has lost much of the appalling character which marked its first introduction among us. The Universi Raleigh, June 29. ty. The examination of the several classes in this Institution commenced at Chapel-Hill on Wednesday the 13th instant, and closed on the 21st. We understand that the Students generally gave satisfactory evidence to the Examining Com mittee, that they Had been diligent in their respective pursuits, and that their deportment, almost without exception, was worthy of high commendation. As the Examination progressed, the crowd of visiters in creased, and from Tuesday evening until Friday morning, there was an assemblage from all sections of the State, containing a greater portion of talent, character, wit and beauty, than ever graced any simi lar occasion at the University ; and perhaps at nope riod of our history, has it been the lot. of any Orator to address an audience, which he could survey with higher emotions of pride and pleasure. On Wednesday, at eleven, the Hon. William Gaston delivered the anniversary Address of the Philanthropic Society. Of the character of this pro duction it is perhaps unnecessary to speak. The name of this distinguished gentleman, was the spell by which the multitude were assembled, and an ord nary effort woul by highly excited expectations. have been rWarded as a signal failure. It is enousrh U ' to say, that there was perhaps no individual present however lofly may have been his anticipations, who did not find them more than realized j and who woul not, at any future period, travel twice the distance to enjoy a similar feast The Speech enchained the attention of the multitude for about two hours. We understand that the Philanthropic Society have or dered the publication of fice thousand copies.

Tlie Tariff A Bill intended as a modification of this vexed question, has passed the House of Repre Kcntatives, and is now pending in the Senate. It is supposed that it will reduce the duties somewhere be tween five and ten millons. Our Representative, and ' the friends of Mr. Van Burcn generally, voted for the bill, not because it met their views, but upon the prin ciple that it was the most we could get at present. For this course we do not blame them ; but we cannot withhold the expression of our decided disapprobation of the bilHn its present shape. It is still a bill of abominations ; it is unequal and unjust, and shall re ceive our untiring and ceaseless hostility. Not con tent with moderate gains, the lordly manufacturers 'would fleece the South, because they have us in their power. But they deceive themselves. The South Washington, June 29. The Tariff Bill, which has been the subject of the most absorbing interest, has passed the House of Re presentatives. The vote for it was 132 against i 65- The Yeas and Nays will be found under the head of Congressiqnal proceedings. Of the vast majority that carried this measure, we believe none were perfectly satisfied with it, however preferable to the present Tariff ; and we imagine that there will scarcely be a Senator, who will not find fault with it in some particular. . Yet we hope it will pass the Senate without amendment, for there is now no time to amend. We trust it will be permitted to go to the people, to receive from their judgment, en lightened by an experience of its practical operation, a final and judicious adjustment CONGRESS.

Mr. Cambreling, as decided a friend of Free Trade as any man in the country, offered to compound for the present for thirty per cent. but their rapacity is unbounded, and only equalled by their infatuation. They claim the right to the exclusive protection of their industry. The labour of spindles must be made to fatten upon the labour of ploughs. Theie is only one way now left for the South to pursue, j Let a Convention of the Southern States be called,1 and the advocates of Free Trade from other States be invited to co-operate, and let them, in solemn council, offer to the North the terms upon which they are willing to remain 'in the Union. ,Such a Convention could not faiVof pro ducing the happiest results, j A mutual good under standing would follow for it would be seen and acknowledged, that the South is as necessary to the North, as is a man's blood to his existence.

Adjournn ment of Congress. A resolution fixin g upon Monday next as the termination of the session, has passed the House of Representatives.

Atkinson had with him about 100 Pottowattamies identified in the war, whom he uses as guides and that two or three hundred Me nominees and Sioux, had passed Galena, on their way to join the Army, and that the body of Felix St Kane, late! Indian Agent, had been found and buried by General Dodge. Extract of a letter from an offictr of the Army, dated St. Lodis, June 18, 1832. " I am informed by a letter from Gen. Atkinson, dated Ottoway, 15th inst. that the militia had arriv ed, as many at least, if not more, than he wanted, and that he would march in three or four days for the Indian frontier, with the hope of speedily finishing the present war. I endeavored to obtain a drawing of the Indian position, but failed; it is reported, how ever, to be situated on what is called the four lakes. on the waters of Rock river, surrounded by marshes aim oi very occult access, and is called by the Indi ans vousn-co-nang, or the fort.

At a late Session of the Synoci of the Reformed Dutch Church, at Albany, a resolution was passed authorizing a committee composed of several of that body to confer with the President of the United States, on the subject of proclaiming a general fast day, in reference to the menaces of the "cholera. The following is the reply. Washington, June 12, 1832. Dear Sir I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th; inst. submitting to me an extract from the Minutes of the Session of the General Synod of the Reformed Dutch Church of North America, relative to a day of fasting, humilia tion and prayer, at this time; anfl which your Com mittee request the President of the United fetates to Appoint. While I concur with the Synod in "the efficacy of prayer and in the hope that our country may be pre served from the attacks of pestilence, " and that the judgments now abroad in the earth may be sanctified to the nation," I am constrained to decline the desig nation of any period or mode, as proper for the public manifestation ot this reliance. I cuulu not do other wise without transcending the limits prescribed by the constitution for the President ; and without feel ing that I might in some degree; disturb the security which religion now enjoys in this country, in its com plete separation from the political concerns of the general government. ! It is the province of the Pulpits, and the btate 1 n bunals, to recommend the time and mode, by which the people may best attest their ireliance' on the pro tecting arm of the Almighty, in times of great public distress. Whether the apprehension that the cholera may visit our land, furnishes a proper occasion for the solemn notice, 1 must therefore leave to their con ideration. I am very respectfully, Your servant, ANDREW JACKSON. To John F. Schermerhorn, ) Ch'n. of Comm. of Gen. Synod. $ HARD NAMES. The Constitutional Whig, a leading Clay pa per, in Virginia, calls General Jackson 44 a bru tal, imbecile chief." What kn enviable purity of language and sentiment distinguish the or gans of that party which possesses "all the de cency." The same paper complains, bitterly, that there is less freedom of thought, speech or action, in this country than in fcingianav Judg ing from the epithets which! he bestows upon our public men. we should suppose this editor did not feel very powerfully, the restrictions so freely denounced. If he had have said that there was less decency of thought, speech or action, in the opposition to the present admin istration, than was ever known among the "turned out" tories of England; we should have been constrained to unite with him in the de claration though at all times ashamed to be caught in such company, iLouisville Public Adv. Washington. .Tim a OQ 1 RQO Mr. Watson, - I ask the favor of addrpslno- V f w lines to my Constituents through the columns of your paper. I have hitherto! at the close of each session of Congress, issued! a circular, giving a cursory view of the most! important topics which engaged our attention ; but lam at present deprived of this pleasure y indispo sition and want of time. It is now 10 o'clock at night, and we have just adjourned, having tnis moment aisposeu oi me iarin rmi as re ported by the Committee on Manufactures, by a vote of something like two to one. If I am asked for my reasons for voting for this bill, I answer, that it affords a reduction of from five to ten millions of dollars of taxes, and as itafibrds some relief to the people,;! consider nan a loaf better than no bread," j The ques tion which I considered as presented, was, not whether we should adopt a new tariff, but whe- liter 11 Was r-mriicnt in itaht nK n n nrli h - cation of ihe existing taxes as the majority were willing to erant : and Krlievino- that the bill which has just passed the Houseof Repre sentatives, is far better than the tariff of 1828, I voted for it, in the hope of preserving the Union a little longer. I do not think the time has yet come, when the South ought to take that stand which is the only alternative of an oppressed people. Calm and dispassionate measures are best suited to the crisis, and if stea illy pursued, they must prevail ; for it is idle to suppose that the present unjust system can long be sustained. It mustyield to public opinion, which is every day making accessions to the numbers of those who advocate the prin ciples of free-trade. Under these impressions, and believing that I acted in accordance with the wishes of a large majority of those wrrbm I have the honor to represent, I voted for this bill, not that I believed, it was what we ought to have, but because it was the best we could get. There is, perhaps, no man in the country more sensible of the injustice and oppression of the present tariff, than I am ; and could t be lieve that its principles are to be the settled policy of the country, no one would be more ready than myself to adopt such j measures as would rid the nation of an evil, more direful than the effects of that pestilence which is now raging in a portion of our continent ; but I do not regard it as such, on the contrary, I be lieve that the day is near when all unnecesary taxes will be forever abolished. One of the great evils of the present tariff is, that it brings too much money into the public chest for experience has shown, that to have an honest government, it is absolutely necessary that it should be poor. Ours has become quite too splendid ; and, for one, I desire to see it circumscribed in its means..: At present, there are no bounds to its powers, and the will of the majority, although it may conflict with the provisions and principles of the Constitution, is the arbiter on all questions where gain is to be effected by its decision. Under the pow er to regulate commerce, they claim the right to destroy it ; the authority to regulate post offi ces and post roads, is extended to the digging down of mountains ; and according to Mr. Ad ams' new fancied doctrine, under the clause to provide for the common defence and general welfare," you may do any thing. All this pro ceeds from having more money than is wanting for the ordinary and legitimate purposes of the government. The great evil is in the collec tion of the rnpney. The government has no constitutional right to .collect any more rev enue than its immediate wants require : for, whenever the fact is admitted that it has the right to collect, it follows as a necessary con sequence, that it has the power , to -disburse. No man is such a novice as to imagine that the government which collects annually 824,000,- 000, and only requires half of that amount, will burn or otherwise destroy the remaining half; and it would be equally as absurd to suppose it would lock it up as a hiddenjtreasure. It will be appropriated, in some way. Hence it MM M W was that I advocated an equitable disbursment of the surplus revenue on national objects of internal improvement. The government hav ing in the first place, improperly collected tlie money, I hold it nothing more than sheer jus tice that it should be distributed as equally as possible ; but at the same time, I have always been ready to unite m any measure which should take from Congress the power to levy. taxes whereby to raise any excess of revenue. I have already heard it remarked, in refer ence to the bill just acted upon, that it embra-; ce3 the views of Gen. Jackson and his friends, and I have no doubt the assertion will in a few days be trumpetted forth to the world. To a certain extent it is true ; but it is also true mat they have uniformly been opposed to the tariff of 1828, which thev wish to see inoditted on principles of common justice. The bill does: not meet their views, they only rcgara it as; an entering wedge, which, if successfully fol lowed up, will destroy the system, root and branch. It would be well for the people to look to the course of some who did vote for the act of 1828 ; and if the votes of all parties on the present occasion, are rigidly scrutinized, it will readily be seen why a more favorable alteration of the tariff has not been effected. I disclaim the right of scanning the motives and intentions of others 4 but it does seem pas sing strange, how any man who is in favor o a reduction ot the revenue, could have voted against the bill as it has now passed the House At least I feel that I have discharged my duty' and if the disasters which are daily threatening us, shall indeed come, it will not be the fault of those who have, in the spirit of compromise, endeavoured to heal our differences.
