the whole tariff scheme w ill turn out to

get 'back again to our, old ' fashioned,
plain sailing, republican nations, which
alone can niake us a happy, an united and
a free people. Instead of robbing one
section of country for thg benefit of ano

course and permit each citizen. to enjoy
the fruits of his own labour. t
"In a few years every cent of the na

"At no period of our history has our
National Government presented such an

the views taken of onr domestic concerns
by the President have received the high

hear nothing from abroad in relation to
our political condition but that which lis

Serpent in the South. Wo are
likely at last, thank fortune, to have a
Sea Serpent of our own, without depen
ding upon Cape Cod. We have long
been of the opin that the "article"
might he fabricated as low here, as any
where North of the r Potomac; though
affidavits, sort of necessary condiment
to the cookery, arc not so easily obtain
ed. In this particular the account be
low is somewhat defective A Sea Ser

key without Cranberry sance.
Capt.,-I)elano oflhri schooner Eagle
arrived at" Charleston, states that on
Tuesday morning the 22d ult. whilst en
deavoring toibcat over St. Simon's bar,
he perceived a huge animal about 300
yards a head which remained perfectly
till. When i within twenty-live yards, ".a
musket was discharged at it which tore
off" some I scales, when- his scrpentship
turned, and struck the vessel in such a
manner as to be sensibly felt by the helms
man. It 'made tito other attempts near
the foro! chains but did no damage.
Capt. D thinks that if the Serpent had
struck tlie bow, the schooner must have
sunk--r Undoubtedly our only marvel
is that he did not swallow her at once
and thus? avo.id going into, the riewspa
pcrs. The, Serpent was 70 feet long, of
a greyish colour, with a head resembling
art Alligator it3 jaws about 10 feet
long. The body considerably larger
than a hogshead, shaped like an Eel and
full of "protuberances." One of the lit
tle Snakies, was in sight at first, but dodg
ed chen! the musket vas fired,, not be
ing fond'of the smell of gun powder. In
short we; consider this as rne of the most
interesting snake stories that has issued
from the press for some time
I I h V Camden Journal.
The editor of thts United States Ga
zette; thus takes a knave to task:
"Some mscal (we wefc disposed to
use a AarjJicr epithet, but forbear.) has
stolen from Messrs. Thorburn. and Sons,
Now-York, a small plant of the Gammc
lia Japonica, which cost the owners five
guineas in London. The thief .ought to
be confined for life in -the centre of a
thorn bosh, and fed npon dragon's root,
boiled in spirits of turpentine. A fellow
who would steal a valuable flower from
a garden, opened only to please (he pub
lic, would rob his father of his grey hairs
to 'make strings to a fiddle bow. He
ought to be- but we have done pret
ty well already, and even baler, perbap?.
than we should -haf c done but for cer
