IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
Monday, July 28.
At three o'clock the Lord Chancellor, the
Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Shaftesbury,
V iscount Melville, and Lord Ellenborough, en
tered the House in their robes, as Lords Commis
siuners, and proceeded to their scats on the wool
sack. His Majesty's commission was then read,
authorizing them, to give the royal assent to seve
ral bills, after which the . Deputy Usher of the
Black Rod was directed to require the attendance
of the Commons at their lordships bar.
In a few minutes afterwards the Speaker, ac
companied by a considerable number of members
of the House of Commons, made his appearance,
and the royal assent was given to several bills.
The commission, authorizing the prorogation
of the present Parliament, was then read, after
which tlio Lord Chancellor proceeded to read his
Majesty s speech ; ol which the lollowing are the
only material passages :
" The endeavors of his Majesty, to effect the
pacification of Greece, in concert with his allies,
the King of France and the Emperor of Russia,
have continued unabated.
" His Imperial Majesty has found himself tin
der the necessity of declaring war against the Ot
toman Porte, upon grounds concerning exclusive
ly the interests of his own dominion, and uncon
nected with the stipulations of tho treaty of the
oth ot July, 1827.
' His Majesty deeply laments the occurrence
f( these hostilities, and will omit no effort of
friendly interposition to restore peace.
" The determination of the Powers, parties to
the treaty of the Gth July, to effect the objects of
that treaty, remains unchanged.
" His Imperial Majesty has consented to waive
the exercise, in the Mediterranean Sea, of any
rights appertaining to his Imperial Majesty in the
character ot a belligerent Power, and to recall
the separate instructions which had been given to
.he commander of his naval forces in that sea, di
recting hostile operations against the Ottomai
Porte.
" His Majesty will therefore continue to com
bine his efforts with those of the King of France
and his Imperial Jaiesty, for the purpose of car
lying into complete execution the stipulations of
the treaty ot London.
" Ilw Majesty commands us to acquaint you
that his Majesty had every reason to hope, when
he last addressed you, that the arrangements
which had been made for administering the Go
vernment ot 1'ortugal, until the period at whicl
the Emperor of Brazil should have completed his
abdication ot the throne of Portugal, would have
secured the peace, and promoted the happiness
of a country, in the welfare of which His Majes
ty has taken the deepest interest.
" The just expectations of his Majesty have
been disappointed, and measures have been adop
ted in Portugal,' in disregard of the earnest ad
vice and repeated remonstrances of his Majesty,
which have compelled his Majest-, and the other
Poweis of Europe, acting in concert with his
Majesty, to withdraw their representatives from
Lisbon."
On the Speech being concluded, the Lord
Chancellor declared, by his Majesty's commands,
that the Parliament was prorogued till Thursday,
August 28.
Jiussia and Turkey. With a view to a more
rapid system of operations, the Emperor of Russia-has
ordered the Imperial Russian Guards to

on tho Vth. ju;ffrted in a Pari-; paper of the 2 1th
July. At u Council of War held at Karassou, it
" m . n A. i

make a serious resistance to tlie Russian Army,
all means should be employed to penetrate as soon
as possible to "Constantinople. The levy en

met are immediately expected.
Greece. A conspiracy against tne life of the
PrPKidnnt has been foiled in Greece, and the re
cent successes of the Russians have raised the
tone of the Greeks. An article dated Smyrna,
June 18, says that Count Capo dTstria will be
obliged to have recourse to more energetic mca-
.. . ii
sures to govern the UrecK nation, especially since
th ilisrnvprv of the consoiracv of Colocotroni,
who has been arrested, with 25 of his accompli
ces. The President, while no was ai raros, gave
a formal audience to the Greek Bishops, sent
by the Sultan to propose an amnesty, and dis
missed them with an admonition to leave uie
Greek territory, because their address, in which
they call upon the People to return to their obe
dience to the Porte, cannot be tolerated by the
Greek uovernment.

" There is a general talk of a Congress which
is to be held at Lay bach." It has for its object
to regulate the interest arising from the war of
Turkey, andthe consequences of the Treaty of
the 6th July. It is asserted that all the Powers
will send their Ambassadors.

POLITICAL ITEMS.
GENERAL JACKSON.
Exclusive military qualifications can neVer be
a proper passport to civil offices of high impor
tance and responsibility. The history of Gen.
Jackson is an exemplification of the fact that mi
litary qualifications rather unfit men for civil sta
tions, than the contrary. What civil appoint
ments was ever conferred on General Jackson
which he did not promptly resign from a convic
tion of his own unfitness to fill it T His biogra
pher and friend, Major Eaton, tells us that the
General started in civil life as a lawyer, whence
he was transferred to the Senate of the JLTnited
States in November, 1797. Here he first exhi
bited his unfitness for civil trusts. His biogra
pher says
About the middle of April, business of an important
and private nature imposed on him the necessity of ask
ing leave of absence, and returning home. Leave was
granted, and before the neit Session, he resigned hit seat."
The reason for his resignation is thus given :
" To this measure he was strongly induced .rrom a de
sire to make way for Gen. Smith, who, he conjectured,
would, in that capacity, be able to render more important
services to government than himself."
His next appointment was that of a Judge.
Major Eaton says
"Immediately after his resignation, he was appointed
one of the Judges of the SupYeme Court of the State."
Here is cnother civil trust. Mark the sequel :
" Sensibly alive to the difficult duties of this station,
distrusting his legal acquirements, (he had been a practi
sing lawyer,) arid impressed with the great injury he might
produce to suitors, by erroneous decisions, he advanced to
the office with reluctance, and in a short time resigned,
leaving it open for those who, he believed, wore better
qualified," &c.
After this he abandoned the law and turned
farmer. He has subsequently been in Congress,
and again resigned his seat. Since he ha3 exhi
bited such a uniform distrust of his own abilities
for office, except as a soldier, it may be asked
how he has summoned up confidence to become a
candidate for the highest of all civil offices. Ad
mitting himself to be unfit for Congress, unfit for
a lawyer, unfit for a judge, and fit only for a sol
dier, how has he so suddenly acquired fitness for
the office of President, which requires a combina
tion of all the qualifications for legislator, lawyer,
and Judge 1' We should like to know by what
power of instinct or intuition the General has so
suddenly burst into perfection. Nat. Jour.
Do we not all recollect what Mr. Jefferson
said on this very subject ? He said, since the last
Presidential Election, that Gen. J. "did not
" possess the temper, the assiduity, the physical
"qualifications, for the office of President; that
" he had been in various civil offices, and Imd
" made a figure in none ; and that he had com-
pletely failed, and shown himself incompetent
" to an Executive trust in Florida." Is it pos
sible for any man, who pretends to be a Republi
can, to resist this warning voice, which seems to
ascend from the grave to awaken the consciences
of men, and inspire them with remorse for the
wicked perverseness with which they are trying
to put this same General into an Executive trust,'
much more delicate and important than that to
which he had " shown himself incompetent" in
r londa i A at. Int.
From the Virginia Free Press.
The vote of Virginia has been so confidently
claimed by the J ackson party, that most persons
have yielded it up to them without dispute. We
propose making some inquiry into the propriety
of this surrender, and will be thankful for infor
mation on the subject from Editors who Inve an
opportunity of judging better than we have, of
the situation of the districts near them.- We pre
tend to no spirit of prophecy, but will venture an
opinion as to tne vote of this and a neighboring

" I have iust arrived from a muster in this
county, where there were more than 600 people
assembled. After the muster was over, a Jack
son man moved that they should take the vote on
the Presidential question, which was done, and
the vote stood thus : for Adams, 305 ; for Jack

Vermont. The Elections in this State have
just taken place. Samuel C. Crafts is chosen
Governor, with little opposition.
. From the Congressional Elections; we have
only partial returns as yet. Sufficient is known,
however, to make it certain that Rollin C. Mal
larv is re-elected, without opposition, and that
Benjamin Swift is re-elected by a large majority
over Mr. Meech," who is said to have been voted
for as tho Jackson candidate. A at. Int.
New- York. We have before us a letter from
a distinguished citizen of the State of New-York,
dated Oneida county, August 18th, from which
we extract the following paragraph : Bait. Mar.
" I have been at court here attending court
for two or three weeks, and have an opportunity
of conversing with gentlemen from all parts of
the state. The best teehng and spirit prevails
universally, and Jacksonism is drooning in its
hopes. Their tone is much lowered. There is
not the least danger of our electoral law being
touched. It could not be repealed if attempted.
You may rely on this. Many of the more vio
lent Jackson men would do it, but they cannot
get a majority In the legislature to do an act of
that sort. Wc are completely organized, a bet'
ter feeling never prevailea in the state uetore,
and you may depend on it we shall give ilr,
Adams from 20 to 24 votes."
In Pennsylvania the" contest between the two
parties is now, and will be, maintained with the
greatest spirit. The Jacksonians must not count
too surely upon the 28 votes of Pennsylvania
The tide is turning, and that rapidly too. Facts
are coming to light, errors are every day expo
sod, and reason is resuming its dominion.
" The charm dissolves apace,
And as the morning steals upon the night,
Melting the darkness, so their rising senses
Begin to chase the ignorant fumes that mantle
Their clear reason." PhenLc Gas.
We know several old gentlemen, of our ac
quaintance in this city who have not voted for
many years, one not since the year 1813, who
have determined to go to the polls at the ensuing
election and record their votes against Gen. Jack
son, and we believe this feeling is prevalent with
the great body of our aged citizens throughout
the nation. They consider it to be a moral duty
they owe posterity to lend their aid to preserve
our country from the thieatcned clanger of mill
tary rule. Judging from the melancholy exam
pies of other republics, they tremble at the idea
of placing at the head of ours, a man of an igno
rant and uncultivated mind, whose every feeling is
military, and whose only recommendation is, that
he won the battle of New Orleans. They have
therefore determined to go the polls and vote for
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS,
Whom Washington, in 1797, considered the
most valuable public character we had abroad.
Whom Jefferson, in 1805, esteemed so high
ly that he said to Mr. Gerry, " I congratulate
your country on their prospects in this young
man.
Whom Madison appointed first to negotiate a
treaty for peace.
Whom Monroe, with tho advice of Genera
Jackson, placed first in his cabinet.
Whom the people, in 1824, elevated to the
highest station m the world.
Whose Administration, though assailed from
the beginning by an Opposition uneampled for
its bitterness and profligacy, has been singularly
prosperous.
And who, in less than four years, besides de
fraying the expenses of government, (great and
"extravagant ! as they are said to be by his op
ponents) and besides applying upwards of twelve
millions, to works of public improvement and na
tional defence, has' paid more than thirty-three
millions of the pub lit debt. Halt. Marylander.
INDIANA.
Madison, (Indiana) August 27.
We have not received all the returns of the
election, but have received sufficient to ascer
tain that Governor Ray is re-elected Governor,
by a majority of from fifteen hundred to three
thousand votes. It will be recollected that Go
vernor Ray and H. H. Moore, Esq. were both
Administration men, and that Dr. Canby was the
only candidate on the Jackson side of the ques
tion , and that he has received only about one
third of the votes in the State. We do not be
lieve that the vote Dr. Canby has received is
owing to any disliko to him as a man : for he is,
as far as he is personally known, we believe, as
much respected as any man in the State. Then
we would ask, what is the caiTse 1 We answer,
that it must be for the want of more Jackson vo
ters in the State of Indiana.
Wc learn by the last Indianopolis papers, that
Mr. Blake is re-elected to Congress from the first
Congressional District in this State, over his
Jackson opponent, by a small majority. Mr.
Jennings is re-elected in the second Congression
al district, and Mr. Test in the third, both by
large majorities. Both our Senators, and all of
our Representatives in Congress, are in favor of
the present Administration. All of our Senators
in the State Legislature, we believe, except two,
and also a majority of the Representatives, are in
favor of the re-election of Mr. Adams.
Comment on these circumstances would be
useless. They speak for themselves they speak
a language that cannot be misunderstood. Who
will hereafter say that Indiana will give her elec
toral vote to General Jackson ?

Terrible Effects of the Tarif. In 1816,

The disunion demagogues are endeavoring, by
broad assertions and positive statements, to im
pose upon the people the belief that the passage
of laws for the protection ot domestic manu:ac
tures is an unconstitutional stretch of power, and
a new thing in the experience pf our Govern
ment. The framers of our Constitution, say
they, never conceived that a right to lay imposts
could ever be used by Congress indirectly, tor the
purpose of encouraging one branch of national
industry in preference to another.
Now, that the framers of our Constitution did,
in truth, conceive that, they had clothed Con
gress with sufficient powers to authorize them to
pass laws for the protection of domestic manufac
tures, may be clearly proved, from the fact, that
the first Congress which was ever held under the
Constitution, composed in a great measure of the
same individuals who framed that Constitution,
passed a law, of which the following is the cap
tion :
" Whereas it is necessary for the support of
Government for the discharge of the debts of
the United States, and the encouragement
axd protection of manufactures, that duties be
laid on goods, wares, and merchandise impor
ted. Laws of Congress, vol. ii. page 2.
On recourse to the published debates of the
first Congress, it will appear that the policy of
protecting domestic manufactures was advocated
by Madison, Clymer, Carroll, Ames, Boudinot,
and others of our greatest statesmen, and we also
find that it was sanctioned by W aslnngton and
Jefferson; yet the green politicians of 1828 call
it a new doctrine, and one never conceived of by
the framers of the Constitution ! Sav. Mercury.
OOO-
For four and twenty successive years of the
Administrations of Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Madi
son and Mr. Adams, the Presidents of the Uni
ted States have retired to their seats in Virginia,
during a portion of the Summer or Autumnal
seasons, to pay some little attention to their pri
vate affairs, and, in so doing, to recruit their
health, wasted in arduous public labors during
three-fourths ot the year at the seat of Govern
ment. It is only just now that the Richmond
Enquirer, and other kindred presses, have disco
vered that this is an abandonment of public duty
Such is the present rage of party, that failing
more substantial argument for in fact the op
ponents of the Administration have not an inch
of solid ground to stand upon the President's
travelling dress is eagerly seized upon as a topic
of animadversion : and learned pundits are em
ployed in demonstrating that the President of the
United States ought to -wear boots instead of
shoes when he travels, and ought not to wear a
cap! Mr. Jefferson's plush breeches and red
waistcoat rise in dignity in comparison with the
topics on which the Opposition presses now de
light to dwell. They cannot even let Mr. Secre
tary Porter rcsf, who has but just come into of
fice. His lady, who is a native of Kentucky,
being on a visit to her friends in that State, the
Secretary, like a good husband, has gone thither
to conduct her to his new abode at Washington.
Yet even him, on such an errand, they pursue
with a relentless hue and cry. .Surely such an
Administration ought to be put down, though
pure as the Angels. What ! The President wear
pantaloons ! and ride a-horseback ! and be appa
relled so as to be taken for a common man ! And
his Secretary of War he, too, bringing his wife
to Washington ! Oh, monstrous ! What an aban
doned and wicked Administration is this ! Let
a drum-head court-martial be called to try them
for desertion. Shave half their heads for them,
and give them something to wear caps for here
after: or shoot them to death, and they will have
no more occasion for the society of their wives,
than they will to wear caps, boots, or shoes.

The Richmond Enquirer says that " the Me
chanics" are for Jackson. We do not know
how this exclusive Representative of the Aristoc
racy of Virginia should pretend to know any
thing about the Mechanics, whom we have classed
among " the yeomanry" of the country. We arc
mechanics ourselves, thorough bred, and proud
of our calling, and we say with equal confidence
and pleasure, that a large majority of the Me
chanics of the country are men who are lovers of
peace and order, and advocates of civil law aw?
the freedom of speech and of tho press. They
arc, therefore, against military rule. They art,
besides, a well informed and considerate people,
who will not desert a tried and faithful public
servant, for one that they have not tried, and are
themselves afraid of. Wc wish we could say as
much for the Editors of the Enquirer. They
claim the Mechanics indeed ! We rely upon
them for the salvation of the country, not only
in war, by their sinewy strength, but in peace by
their practical good sense and jnst estimation of
the blessings they enjoy. We rely upon them,
especially, in this crisis, to put to rout the disci

Disunion Meeting. In a former number we
tlircw out some hints to the National Intelligencer,
in tho way of instructing them how to point their
queries to the editor of the Mercury. Wo have
since then became .icquiinted with circumstances
which have induced us to offer some of our own un,
on the same subject, not however to the Editor , if
the Mercury, (for we do not wish to war with a
vanquished enemy; but to that knot of Disunion
ists who are endeavouring by all possible means
to get up an opposition to the union of the States
and to sever the sacred bond of our confederacy.'
We propose our questions more for tho purpose
of putting the People on their guard against these
arch intriguers, than with the expectation of
meeting a correct answer to either of theni.-
There are traitor amongst us'. There are fhose
who are labouring by night and by day to trample
under foot the rights of the People, and destroy
our only safeguard, the bond of union that con".
nects the States, some of these' are yet hidden
from us. Cunning as they are wicked, they have
so far eluded the watchful eye of the patriot ; but
let them not flatter themselves that the same ol).
scurity will much longer conceal their persons or
their actions, for we hope ere long to see them
dragged from their secret corners, and exposed to
the indignation and contempt ot every true lover
of his country. Others, bolder than their col
leagues, have been hardy enough to proclaim
themselves, and openly express their wishes and
intentions, if they can but meet with sufficient
support to effect their wicked purposes. The
watchful eye of patriotism is sternly fixed upon
them their every movement is carefully observ
ed, and when they once unfurl the standard of
Disunion, and assemble in open rebellion, their
colleagues and their dupes, they will find, and
the whole world shall bear testimony, that there
is still patriotism in South Carolina enough to
crush the vile plotters of treason, as the giant
would the smallest worm that should crawl be
neath his feet. Let it not for a moment be thought
that the State of South Carolina will prove ro
creant. If she has cherished in her bosom trai
tors to her dearest interests and enemies to the
commonwealth, it was as her children dutiful and
true to the country when she finds her off
spring forgetting their filial duty and affection,
and piercing the bosom that has nourished them,
she will cast them from her as sho would the poi
sonous viper that would coil itself around her for
the purpose of her destruction. Such has Caro
lina ever proved herself, and such will she be
found whenever the occasion may require it.
The subject of Disunion is one which excitrs
in us such feelings of indignation whenever we
touch upon it, that we are almost impercebtiblv
led to extend'tho expression jof thosefeelin
We commenced this article merely for the purpose
further than our time or our limits may warrant,
of offering one or two queries on the important
subject, and we must postpone our comments to
some future and more convenient time. Let us
return to our previous object.
In our remarks, before alluded to, we made a
mistake. We asked if there had not been a con
ference (among others) upon what course Caro
lina ought to pursue, upon the subject of the ta
riff, in Orange street. We should have said in
Friend street.
We now ask the Disunion Junto if it was not
intended some time since, to have a meeting of a
similar or worse nature at the office of the Charles
ton Mercury or rather, if there was not actually
such a meeting held at that office ?
Soon after Dr. Cooper arrived in Charleston
(a few weeks ago) was there not an assemblage of
restless spirits the leading members of the Ca
bal at his lodgings ? and were not some resolu
tions, prepared for their consideration, submitted
to them by that avowed advocate of Disunion ?
We call upon the People to bear in mind these
questions ; we pledge ourselves to them that we
have grounds for our suspicions, and that no idle
motive has induced us to put them.

A Parallel. The Opposition papers have
made themselves exceedingly busy at tlie plain
Republican attire of the President, when on his
way recently to Boston, and have very satisfac
torily proved, in their own minds, that any man
who wears common nankeen pantaloons, ought
not to be President. In these attacks upon Mr.
Adams' small clothes, we recognize a parallel to
the case of Mr. Jefferson. We recollect wtIj
v. hen the Evening Post, and its fellow-laborers
in the cause of the Opposition, were heaping all
sorts of ridicule upon Mr. Jefferson's red breeches
and the homely costume in which he rode into
Baltimore one day, and put his horse into the
stable at the Indian Queen Tavern himself.
Now, Mr. Adams rides on horseback, and hi
nankeens are as much ridiculed as Mr. Jefferson's
red plushes were. But the People were unmo
ved, and re-elected Mr. Jefferson. They will
do the same by Mr. Adams and thus the paral
lel will bo complete. AT. Y. Com. Adv.

thought it prudent to yield something in order to
have peace, Adams alone stood like a tower un
moved and immoveable. When the news of the
burning of Washington, by the enemy, reached

wtm'cd for, says hf, the Vandals have done
that for us which we have been unable to do for
ourselves it will unite every heart in prosecu
ting the war, and we shall soon have peace. '
truth of his remark was fully realized.
