INTEMPERANCE.

Embodied in the Circular of the "several State Tern-.

perance Societies, to the citizens of the United States," we find the following account charged to the demon: "Ardent spirit destroys health: ardent spirit creates idleness: ardent spirit ruins character: ardent spirit makes paupers: ardent spirit makes criminals: ardent spirit brutalizes men: ardent spirit destroys domestic hippiness: ardent spirit ensures premature death: ardent spirit makes three fourths of the business and expense of our criminal courts, j ails, and alms houses: ardent spirit throws an immense tax on a christian community to support vice: ardent spirit unfits thousands and tens of thousands for the duties of this life, and exposes them to the awful retribution for the next.'' I f ardent spirit be the legitimate parent of all tho enumerated evils in the foregoing paragraph, and we doubt it not, every civilized community should sedulously set about the work of demolition, and drive the monster before the fiat of public opinion, into the deepest depths of moral degradation.

Prof ruling Attorney. Joi'N Test, Jr. Esq. was e:r:tly appointed by the Governor, to fill the office ;f ".viori't'.r in this (d) district, which was vacated :';e resignation of Jo'ia .M. Johnstjn, Esq.

M l'c fitvfricss. As this disease is prevalent in this :-. of country, we would suggest to such of our r.e'?lijirs as may be afflicted with it at any subsequent 1 ici, the use of a plant known by the name of "lady ('h)icr' by some it is called " India tnorasin." It i'.id that it has been used with great success in the vVji?1i country during the past year, and has in no tmre faiblto produea relief in a very brief period. Ti.is plmt is abundant in this country, and if it re-;'-SFe.s the medicinal property ascribed to it, the :.a.ovcry is valuable, and the medicine cheap.

''on. John Tvt.er is re-elected to the Senate of the I". from the State of Virginia. Mr. Tyler is the . !v .Senator whose vote stands recouled agiirstthe : .svnjfe of the Revenue Collection Bill. So it goes in '.'..e Old Domiaion State!

CONVOCATION::'. What influence the A mbassador from "Old Virginia" had upon the Nullifiers of the Sovereign Realm of South Carolina wc do not know. We see however, that after Mr. Leigh had delivered the Virginia Resolutions on the subject of nulliiicat'or, that the President of the famous Convention of issued the following Proclamation: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. To all lou honi these presents men cor.ie: Know ve, that by virtue of the authority vested in me hy the Convention of the 1'eopls of South Carolina, I do hereby rail together, and hy these presents, I have convoked the members of the said Convention to re-assemhle at Columbia, in the State aforesaid, at meridian, on the second Mondaj' in March next, which will he on the 11th day thereof to deliberate on such matters touching the interests and welfare of the ejood People aforesaid, as may be then and there presented for their consideration. And I hereby call upon the said members to be punctual in their attendance, at the time and place herein ppecified. Given under my hand and seal, in L.S. )the Parish of St. Peter's. South Car- " clina, this 13th day of February, in Lhc year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-three, and in the lifiy-sevcnth jcar of American Independence. J. HAMILTON, Jun. Prcsidinl of the Convention cf th" Piop'c of So:i:h Cjro'hia. It is highly probable, as the spirit of nullification was high in South Carolina, and a predetermined spirit tr annul something prevailed, that the Convention nullified its own Ordinance.

what you please gentlemen: Political honesty! political knavery! political apasticy! political consistency! or political ineonsistency! It is political something b'yond a doubt. Mr. CI ty's apologists nny contend that a crisis is at

hand which demands a eacnnce Euppose it the case,

and miy we not irq lire how lonj Lis this crisis been

gitlicring. Why his not Mr. Clay seen these things

V-e.r ago! Ctuer men fores iw the end of fas svstom:

it his lorg since been divined. President Jackson has

uiiiformly urged thit, after the Nation shall hive been

paid out of T.c'jt, it would be neecssary and proper to

gradually reduce the duties on imports to the revenue

stindard. Other prominent men have promulged this

opinion; and premonitions have been given sufficient to

cause any reflecting politician to se in tl e subject when

he could but conelude that an overflowing treasury and high tirifT duties would rot be talerated by the people

of this nation it is inconsistent with the nature of

men and things. Is it said that the surplus revenue

should be apr.lied to internal improvements; we would

reply that it isquestionible at least, whether the Constitution of our country countenances a system of inter

nal improvements by the general government; and the

question of its f xpediency has, we believe, been hush

ed to rest, consequently that argumei t is entirely specious1. It then follows that the Tariff should be redu

ced to the revenue standard. Mr. Clay has now, for

thefire-t time", arrived at this conclusion. lie seems to think that the eilvation of the country depends entirely upon the gradaation of tho Tariff duties. It only appears strange to us, that he had not seen into this matter Ling since that his eyes, which have been so bug closed, shoulJ how be opened, and that he should so clearly see the rocks and ehoais upon which he was about to strand.

Is another column may be found the Inaugural Ad"ss nf Andrew Jackson, on being installed into of- '. vi the 4th inst. The reader will observe that the vvutive still avows the principle upon which he has ). inly acted, that of 'extending justice to all naand submitting to wrong from none" this has '11 the governing maxim of his administration. It is 0 arse of poliey that will contribute to our happiness !ian an 1 command fr us universal respect abroad.

By the last Southern mail we received the "Louisville Literary Examiner," publ:shed by MossieA: Settle. It has been improved in appearance is now printed in quarto form, on fine paper. We are much pleased with the matter and manner of the publication. It holds a deservedly high rank in the list of literary periodicals. The Editors disclaim all participation in politics.

bill, are adequate to the protection of our Manu'"tiro. If, after nine years from this date, 20 per ''!( 11 not sustain them, they are not worthy nf , husbanded. Such is the tendency of this bill. " '''ities are to be gradually reduced to 00 per cent. " 'lie vear le4'J.

Cincinnati Jaurnalt No. 10 of the fth vol. of this publication, by Corey iV Fairbank, and edited by T. B.unard, appeared on the If th inst.enbr red to extraimperial size.

Amat.c; amation. It is whispered pretty loudly, that Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun have formed apolitical c t-parttirrs'i 'p, and we li ivc many re 1 eons for accred

iting it. Those gentlemen go hand in hand both of

them were "among the missing" at the final passage of the Revenue Collection Bill both supported Dufi (Jreen for Printer to the Senate. , We were not surprised at Mr. Calhoun's solicitude for Gen. Green's success; but we do think Mr. Clay bad a litter dose in supporting Green after the castigations he had received at his hands through the columns of tho Telegraph. Human nature is human nature! LATEST FROM EUROPE. The packet ship York, arrived at New York, from Liverpool, brings London dates to Jan. lf. and I ivcrpcol to Jan. 1C. The New York Commercial gives an abstract cf their contents, which are of little interest. There had been .a des'r ictive fire in Liverpool, at which frcm 10 to 12,000 bales of cotion were destroyed.

The renewel of the charter of the Bank cf

England had become the absorbing topic of discussion. The general impression was favorable to is renewal. The atTairs of Portugal. Belgium, Holland and France, remained unsettled. Ireland continued in a dtefurbpd str.ie. The Pacha of Fgvpt was carrying every thing before him in Asia Minor. We eir.it the particular details. G"n. Ga:. A letter from Paris of Jan. 10th, gives the fellowing as the latesi: and most authentic information f.cin Censtaminor le: The progrefs of the Tacha's trccrs in Asia Minor, is rapid, insurrection is fast spreading every whrc. The SulSan has no money and but few troops. lie cannot rely cither cn the courage or fid cl'ty cf the latter, and it may be regarded as certain that on their first encounter with

Ibral am they will be defeated and dispersed, if

not ind iced tojein Ins triumphant banner. All the best letters from Constantinople, dated the 1 0th ult. and received by the last post, says that Ibraham was only a few day's march from the capital, and express the fullest conviction that nothing but foreign interference could check his progress. It is evident that the Couit of Russia is anxiously desirous to prevent Ids going too far.

and it is probable that it will take means to pre
