FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1835

We have "O" in close confinement, and will consider his claims to rove at large in the course of the present week. O-The Foreign news in our paper to-day, is quite important and interesting. Read and judge of it. rgp We know not what it means but it is said Mr. Clav and Mr. Calhoun have become intimate. We do hope however, that Mr. Clay will not add to his political crimes, that of nullification. During the late session of the Legislature an appropriation was made out of the three per cent, fund, of $500 for each county, to be expended under the direction of the County Commissioners for the support of Common Schools, CANAL COMMISSIONERS. Danid Bvrr was elected for the term of three years Samvet. Lewis for two years, and John Scott for one vcar.

THE SUCCESSION. There has been already considerable speculation as to who will succeed Gen. Jackson. The question is premature and should not yet be agitated two years hence will be time enough to broach this subject with anv thing like seal. The eyes of the people are turned on a few individuals as candidates but they feel no disposition to engage in a campaign of four years duration they would sooner far attend to their various pursuits in life. The situation of our country calk for a political respite, that the people may settle down in quiet and contemplate the general interest. Party discipline has for a long time occupied the whole attention of many wJo might have been more profitably employed. At the present, when we are threatened with intestine war when every interest is liable to suffer it becomes us all to use our exertions to quiet party distentions, and bring together those who have been alienated by the fury of party conflict. There i6 but one interest extant that is our common interest. The same motives should govern us all in effecting the same purpose; and the existing difference of opinion consists in the means of accomplishing one common design the promotion of our government, and the prosperity and happiness of the people. This we fancy is a gengeneral feeling. All the late "scramble for office" that has been witnessed, have not tended to the happiness of the people, nor to the prosperity of the country such scenes never can. We therefore hope, that public attention may not soon again be arrested in a fimilar manner, and to the same extent, for the advancement of men more than the promotion of measures. Every thing at present appears tranquil in the political horizon here so let it remain; and the calm will he as mild as the storm was furious. We can conscientiously say, that we feel a deep degree of pleasure on witnessing the reconciliation that is now manifest between the great political parties in this region of country. Confidence is pretty well restored; there is r.o Jackson or Clay stores, shops, or taverns, but old fashioned Demoiracy prevails; we trade and associate with each other, as though there had been no difference of opinion amongst us.

We copy the following enclosed paragraph from the ''Western State? man," a newspaper published in Lawrenceburgh, in this State. It was intended for us, and v e have put it in our pocket as a balance for our knife. It is a fair specimen of the erudition, tact, talent and gmiut of the Editor:

"A little "four striped" cotemporary asks us, if we will do them an act of justice, by publish- g ing their reply to the editor of the Western JJ Times. We would answer the modest request, "i."

The "reply" rests upon j .-..the same foundation as the story of Sinbad the the Sailor. Does the editor see!" t Western Statesman, w '3 The 'editor sees' that the above is smart !

courteously inquired whether he would do so; to which the note above enclosed is a replication.

(CIRCULAR.) Charleston, January, 1833. Sik: You will on receiving this letter immediately take the proper measures for the purpose of ascertaining at what points, D epots of Provision, say of corn, fodder, and bacon, can be established on the main roads leading through your District, at suitable stations, say from thirty to forty miles apart. Looking to the event of a "possible call for Troons ofevprv r?wpi rfr.-.r nn.-?

pecially of mounted men, in a sudden emergency, yon will ascertain the routes by which they could most conveniently pass through your respective Districts, and the proper points at which thev

may put up after the usual day's march. Having settled this, the next point will be to equire whether there are any persons at or near those

points, who would undertake, on terms to be stipulated, to furnish corn, fodder, and meat? In what quantities and at what notice ? It is desi

rable that this arrangement should be effected so

as to enable us to command an adequate supply in the event of its being wanted, without actually making purchases at present. If thi3 be im

practicable, however, you must then see on what

terms purchases can be effected, where and in what manner the articles can be deposited and

taken care of? I will here give you a general outline of my scheme. I will suppose three great routes to be marked out from the mountains to

wards the sea, one leading from Laurenceville, through, Newbury to Columbia; another from Yorkville and Union by Winnsboro' and Chester-

ville to Columbia; and the third from Pendleton through Abbeville and Edgefield, Barnwell, and Colleton, to Charleston. Along these routs de

pots would have to be established at intervals of

thirty or forty miles, besides separate depots at Camden and some other places. From Colum

bia these stations would be necessary along the

State Koad to Charleston. But one other would then, perhaps, be necessary to be provided for, begininig at Darlington Courthouse, and ending at Georgretown, one station to be at Kingstree. and another at Lynch's Creek. From all other places some one of these stations might be struck. I present this imperfect otline merely to give you some idea of my general scheme. Your particular attention will of course be directed to your own District, and if you find it necessary you may call on my Aids from the adjoining Districts, and such Staff Officers as you may think proper, and consult with them as to the best method of connecting the Districts by some general plan, and favor me with the result. Another object to which I would call your early and particular attention, is the state of Arms, public and private, in the hands of the men. Great numbers have been issued from time to time, especially within a few years past. I wish to know how many of them may be relied on in the event of actual service. For this purpose it should be ascertained from actual Inspection or otherwise, how many men in each Company have muskets, rifles, or other arms fit for use, and any unfit for use must be repaired. The latter must be collected together and repaired, if it can be effected in your neighborhood, and if not, they must be boxed and sent to Charleston: when after being repaired at the public expense, they will be returned to the Companies to which they may belong. To execute the arduous, responsible, and difficult duties imposed by this order, you are authorized to call to your assistance, all the Officers of the Staff within your District, and if further assistance is wanted, additional Officers will be appointed. The travelling expenses of yourself and such Officers as you may employ in this business will be paid. You will issue the necessary Orders in my name, countersigned by yourself as Aid-de-Camp, to all Officers within your District, urging them to do whatever you might find necessary to the prompt and effectual execution of this Order. You will, when convenient, call upon the Brigadiers or Major Generals, within your District, for their co-operation and assistance, and generally adopt all proper measures for the accomplishment of the important objects which I have in view, which may be

stated in a few words to be, to secure the means of

subsistence, so'as to be enabled to bring troops to any given point in the shortest possible time to ascertain the state of the Arms now in the hands of the men and to have those unfit for use put in complete order. If any other means occur to you of accomplishing, in the promptest manner, these vitally important objects, you will be so good as to suggest them. I am, very respectfully, &c. PUBLIC MEETING A great Tariff meeting was held in Boston on Monday evening, the Mayor presiding. The following resolutions were sustained by animating speeches, and unanimously adopted. Resolved, That next to the blessings of civ il and religious liberty we prize the Usion as the best fruits of the Revolution. Resolved, That we acknowledge the justice and necessity of a spirit of conciliation towards every portion of the Union, and of mutual sacrifices of the local interests of each to the common good of the whole; and that we .are willing upon all proper occasions, and in many reasonable

manners to meet and settle on the principles of

justice and sound policy any questions which may now exist, or which may hereafter arise between different sections of the country. Resolved, That the system of protecting duties has been first forced on the New England States by the vote of the South, they have, after submitting to the system in obedience to the will of the majority, and on the faith of the Government, diverting their industry into new channels, a right to demand of the Government the preservation of a system of adequate protection. Resolved, That the Bill for reducing the duties on imDorts. now before Congress, is a plain

and palpable attempt to abandon the system of protection, and would, if passed, be a flagrant

violation of the rights of the New-England Mates and of the faith of the Government. Resolved, That any legislation on the subject of the Tariff is highly in judicious at the present

Resolved, That a surrender of the principle of protection, by a repeal of the Act of 1832, before the date of its operation, and by the same Congress which passed it, can be attributed to no cause but fear of the threats of South Caroli-

ISAAC PRICE

na.

Resolved, That when the threats of a single State can intimidate Congress into an abandonment of measures deliberately adapted for the good of the whole, the Union will be virtually dissolved. Resolved, That we earnestly hope and confidently trust, in the wisdom and firmness of Congress, that they will reject a Bill which threatens such disgrace and disaster to the country. Resolved, That the only proper and expedient manner of lessening the revenue, is to reduce the duties on articles not coming in competition with the products of the industry of this country, and to increase the duties upon such articles as can be supplied by our own labor, to such an extent as shall limit the importations from abroad, and thus diminish the revenue to the amount required.

From the Cincinnati Gazelle. The despotism of the course of South Carolina, is thus strongly depicted by Mr. Ferlinghuysen, in his speech on the bill now before the Senate. The portion of the speech from which the extract is taken, was delivered Feb. 2. "Gentlemen, after all this, talk of despotism. Why, there is a despotism never before heard of, at this moment now opening in the State of South Carolina, where that noble, independent, brave, and honorable body of men, the Union party, are subject to the most cruel proscription. Every man who did not yesterday take the Test Oath, lost any situation of trust which he filled, and was rendered incapable of enjoying any state office, according to the provisions of the Ordinance. What a disposition to continue. What? After inflaming the public mind throughout the State by pnblications and speeches at patriotic meetings, shall these opposers of the laws be permitted to drive, by the force of their test oath, the most honorable of their fellow citizens into absolute occlusion from all the immunities of their condition, unless they will come in, and give their adhesion to blind measures which

their consciences refuse to approve? Shall they

be permitted to say to this conscientious and or

derly band you must take that oath or lose com

mission ? But that is not all. Marshal should and what Marshal would not go into the Courts of the United States to make complaint that he has had his goods seized he is then liable to fine and imprisonment. Here then it appears that South Carolina passes by all the known tribunals of the country, swears her own iudses to

decide according to her own view, and if the offi

cer ot the United States dares to go to the United States Court with his complaints, fines and imprisons him. And this is called a peaceful remedy. It is a remedy which sets at defiance all the principles and elements of peace. And if we dare to interrupt South Carolina in this cause, we are told that we are making war a2inst South Carolina. If we were to carrvvthis controversy into any Court which has not been thus-sworn against us, we should have a fair prospect of a decision in our favor I would like, continued Mr. F. to see any Judge who would come to the consideration of this case with an unbiassed mind, give a judgement upon it. Yet under the Ordinance and laws of South Carolina, the Marshal cannot carry his complaint into an impartial Court, but on pain of fine and imprisonment.
