THE SENTINEL
NEWBEBN :
FRIDAY. JUNE 14. 1833.
W'e are authorised to announce Dr. J. D. La
r rr of Trenton, a candidate for the Clerkship of
t he Superior Court oi Jones county
: The Report of the Committee for Amending the
State Constitution, will be found on our first page.
It contains much which deserves serious respect and
consideration. The voice ot men calling nrmiy ior

partial hearing in a government whose foundation

forty "whose people do not pay their average share
f the public expenses." It w true that some ol the
hrguments offered in the report are seemingly used
ad captandum, but the main body of it carries great
weight, and wilt doubtless receive attention. The
committee seem surprised that a "cabalistick party
phrase" should so infatuate the people of the East
ern section of the State as to make them believe or
rtisert, that a reform, or in other words a change of
rover would be accompanied with a general increase
oftaxe. This we have never heard, but we have
karrd that taxes on certain species of property might
b raisptl to the great detriment of one portion of the
people. We however earnestly wish that all dis
tinctions between the East and West should be obli
terated. We wish the State to be one and united,
t that she may preserve undegraded the front of
her sovereignty. We believe that the inhabitants
of this portion of the State are perfectly willjng to
live the subject adjusted satisfactorily. Fiat justitia.
The ghost of Rail Roads seems to be haunting the
good' State again. That we ought to have one
'mitnewhere, every body has agreed, and that we
diiiirnot have -one, seems a point equally settled.
That we should not be in a hurry, however, is cer
tain ; for the original plan of the Road from Beaufort
(o the Mountains might have been half-finished by
this, time, when we should have discovered that Neuse
R'ivit, with a little scouring, is now a liquid Rail-tto-ad,
ready made. Perhaps, too, (such is the pro
grew of science and art) steam balloons, or some
other outlandish varmint, may supplant Rail Raids
in a few years. We have all along thought however,
that a small expenditure for clearing the Neuse
would be-wise, inasmuch as it would save a little of
the pup ot Carolina for the nourishment of her own
children.
In England, the Ministry seem by some mishap to
have been left in a minority of ten, which according
to custom caused the Premier to hand in his resigna
tirn, which was promptly refused. A reconsidera
tion of the vote has been demanded. It is folly for
the British Ministry to think of resigning in the pre
tvent state of affairs in that country they have taken
:i stand on high and most important principles and
cannot dewert their posts until something decisive has
been accomplished. The Morning Chronicle of the
liOth says, that Ministers decided not to resign at the
Cabinet yesterday, and communicated their decision
to the King, who expressed satisfaction at the reso
lution they had adopted.
German papers mention that the agents of Ibrahim
Pacha are very active at Constantinople ; that the
Hultan is in hourly danger of his life ; and that fears
ahs entertained about bringing the Russian troops
mto the capital, as the sight of them might make the
people desperate and accelerate an explosion. The
Kime authorities state that ten thousand Russian In
fantry have passed the Danube on their road to Con-
-ctantinople. Accounts from Berlin speak of a report
to the effect that a proposal has been made bv one of
the European cabinets for diplomatic conferences at
Vienna, for the purpose of discussing in common the
Qtiairsot the East.
- ww. mere is reason to
believe that the affairs of Portugal will be atrand
in n manner to conciliate the Princes of the House of
liraganza. ,
The publication of a book which purports to be
" Vindication of the State of North Carolina from
the aspersions of Mr. Jefferson," by Mr. Jo. Sea well
Jones of Warren, has been announced by him in a
letter inserted in the Raleigh Register. We hope
lor thccceditof the State that his book is well writ
ten and iruly written, and may prove all the histori
cal facts which the author proposes to establish.
The big 4eelings of a young man, on the publi
cation of his 6rst book, may excuse. Mr. Jo. S.
Jones in the eyes of an indulgent public, for his con
tempt of Mr. Thomas Jecterson. We have long
icn convinced of the priority of the North Carolina
Resolutions; but we do not believe that Mr. Jefferson
knowingly denied 'the truth of this, or that he mali
ciously misrepresented the character of Mr Hooper.

stamps a book with a value beyond the currency of a

the writers of the modern French school, which is
perfectly characteristic of the nation. They have
run through every grade of national glory, both lite
rary, civil and military; they think they have done
their full shnrp in the Hramn. and have now deter

We have been requested by the anonymous editors
to be, of the Gossip and Court Journal, to publish
their Piospectus in to-day's paper. We have no
doubt that so unique a publication will obtain exten
sive patronage; for it seems from the terms, that even
those who are not willing must subscribe in selMe
fence. That there will be no want of matter is cer
tain, for "sweet scandal" is the subject.'
Wc perceive by the papers that the President has
very humanely determined not to confine Black
Hawk and the other Indian hostages, but has sent
them on a journey through the land to look at our
strength, and be convinced of the folly of making war
on us. On his visit to Baltimore, Black Hawk and
his party were introduced to the President, who ad
dressed them as follows :
My Children, When I saw you in Washington.
I told you that you had behaved very badly, in raising
the tomahawk against the white people, and killing
men, women and children upon the frontier. Your
conduct last year compelled me to send my warriors
against you, and your people were defeated, with
great loss, and your men surrendered, to be kept until
I should be satished that you would not try to do any
more injury. I told you I would inquire whether your
people wished you should return, and whether, if you
did return, there would be any danger to the frontier.
Gen. Clark, and Gen. Atkinson, whom you know
have informed me that Sheckak, your principle Chiel,
and the rest of your people are anxious you should
return, and Keokah has asked me to send you back.
1 our Uhieis have pledged themselves lor your good
conduct, and I have given directions that you should
be taken to your own country.
Mai. Garland, who is with you, will conduct ou
through some of our towns. You will see the strength
of the white people. You will see, that our young
men are as numerous as the leaves in the woods.
What can you do against us ? You may kill a few
women and children, but such a force would he soon
sent against you, as would destroy your whole tribe.
Let the red men hunt and take care of their families,
but I hope they will not again raise their hands
against their white brethren. We do not wish to in-
jure you. wc desire your prosperity and improve
ment. But if vou again plunge your knives into the
breasts of our people, I shall send a force, which shall
severely punish you for all your cruelties.
When youf go back, listen to the Councils of Koo-
kah and the other friendly Chiefs. Bury the toma
hawk, afrd live in peace with the frontiers. And
pray the Great Spirit to give you a smooth path and
fair sky to return.
To this the Prophet and the others answered,
My Father.- -My ears are open to your words.
I am glad to hear them. I am glad to go back to my
people. I want to see my family. I did not behave
well last Summer. I ought not to have taken up the
tomahawk. But my people have suffeted a great
deal. When I get back, I will remember your words,
won't go to war again. I will live in peace. 1
shall hold you by the hand.
ME. AVERY'S ACQ.UITTAL.
The trial which has excited so much interest thro:
out the country, has finally resulted in the acquittal of
the accused. The New York Journal of Commerce
announces the result as follows.
Our Reporter arrived from Newport early this morn
ng. At twelve o'clock on Sunday noon, the Jury re
turned into Court after an absence of sixteen hours.
In a few moments the piisoner was brought in. He
walked with a firm step and took his seat at the Coun
sel table, with his usual collectedness of manner.
The Court were detained some minutes, owing to
the absence of Mr. Randolph, who was at that time in
church. During this period of painful suspense, a si
lence almost death-like pervaded the whole Cour
house, which was crowded to excess. I
Mr. Randolph having appeared, the prisoner was
directed to look upon the Jury, and the t oreman, on
tne question being put, "How say you ; do you hnd
the priponer guilty or not guilty 7" responded, "IVo
gumy t"
n The check and brow of Mr. Avery became instant
ly and violently suffused ; he leaned his head on his
right hand, raised his snectacles. and weDt. - His hand
was clasped firmly by the Rev. Mr. Palmer, who ac
companied him into Court, and sat close by his side
during this awful rrJc;c
There was not the least exhibition of feeling on the
part of the spectators. They retired in order and
quietude. J
Mr. Avery was conducted out of Court on board a
schooner which had been prepared for his reception,
v,u ue embarked for Bristol.

Providence, June3.---Thistrial which has occupied
the attention of the Supreme Court for the last four
weeks was submitted to" the Jury on Saturday even
ing at ha f past 7 o'clock. It was closed for the pri

GcneraL Mr. Mason's defence of his clieit was in
genious, able and learned", and the Attorney General's
close on the part of the government was equally to,
and toour view more conclusive and impressive.
It is due to the Attorney General to state that his
management ofthis important ease, which has exci
ted the public mind to a degree hitherto unexampled
in the judicial annals of otw country, .was characteri
sed with the greatest 'fairness and'Sberalitv towards

are abandoned in the hone of something better of a
ehnnop. that wilt nroduce wealth and ease. 1 There is
animation too in the thought, that an alteration of
scene will bring with it new inducements to action,
and remove one far from the monotony that characte
rises the Eastern settlements. Thus prompted, hun
dreds of families are daily arriving who have broken
away from all the ties that kindred and cultivation
had imposed, and anxiously embark on board our
steamboats destined jfbr some Western port, whence
they may lay their course lor the "Land of promise."
With some, their hopes are more than realized. The

scanty in the place they left, increases in value as
they proceed West Ward where money is gcarce, and
by the aid ofa little industry and perseverance, they
soon evcure an 'independence for themselves and fa

" Eye nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies
And catch tho manners living as they rise.-
FTnHE above is the title of a paper which it is pro
JLL posed to publish weekly, in the town of Newberii.
The salutary effects produced upon society in gene
ral, in Europe, by such castigatory publications,
nave induced a number of gentlemen, to believe that
the morals of our own country, might be much pro
moted and benefitted by them. The Gossip will Re.
unsparing in its denunciations of vice, and rigid hi
its observance of morals; it will become a perfect
Paul PnV, into the domestic relations of every fami
ly ; giving to the public a " full, true and perfect ac
count,' of their 'sayings and doings,' particularly wha.
they say about their neighbours, what they have for ,
dinner, &c, and where they got the money to buy
it with ; whether Mr. Snout is able to wear his new -black
coat and white hat, and whether Miss Pbut.
can afford to dress so fine, and where they got. the
money from, to indulge in such extravagancies?
The Gossip will invariably be founil tfb pay profound
respect to true religion and piety, and at the same
time, will not only denounce, but vilify and expose
hypocrisy and fanaticism. It will contain a true re
port of ail the wisdom and slander which is uttered
at the Market, County Wharf, Public Libraries, and
other gathering and lounging places ; it will visit the
beau monde, and inform the public who are courting
and who are in love. It will do'more it, will mfe
an enigmatical list, of la belie scxe Who are anxitfit
to marry, and le beau sexe who are able and wiiiiiitr
to marry, l he doings ot uid rsacnejors shall a'ppeai
in bold relief, 'in, their appropriate corner. And it.
shall not only contain a register of deaths and mar
riages-, but it win be lotmd to be a laithlul chronicle
of births. The Gossip, will be an anti-bilious nill t.
all dishonest men; it shall purge their conscience. '
discover their "secreted wealth," cause them to pay
their debts, andpunly their pecuniary system. U vjH'
contain biographical sketches of our most distinguish
ed slanderers, literary savans, and gadders disser
tations upon the free use of the tongue, and. phrenoK;;
