FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1833. p-Our correspondedent, "Cosmopolitan," in his lucubrations, makes some good Lite, but we are con
strained to deny his positions relative to the Btate of
society in our little village. Eo,clitt is our boast; and it only requires merit to secure to the stranger a welcome in the first rank. We do not pay court nor homage to wealth and grandeur. We only inquire is he virtuous? is he deserving! will his conduct square with the golden rule? Affirmative answers to these interrogatories constitute a paBeport to the highest circle in our village.
Last week we inadvertantly observed that "John Grigg" was supposed to be a candidate for Congress in this district he is not. We learn however, that GEORGE CRAIG is a candidate.
By an advertisement in this paper, it will be seen that Wood's Patent Ploughs Rre offered for sale. We feel no delicacy in recommending them to the farmers of this county, ae the best now in use. It is our opinion that they will, in a very few years, succeed all Floughs that have gone before them here, as they have cone in the East.
The Season. Every thing appears propitious the weather is fine and seasonable, well adapted to out door business. Vegetation is not as forward as we have seen it in the middle of April, but it psesents a beautiful aspect decorates creation in all her loveliest plumes. The forest is gradually unfalding its foliage, while the fruit tree9 present a variegated appearance, indicative of the delicious tribute they annually pay. Who then can cast an eye and a reflection upon these things, without mingled feelings of reverence and awe?
Steam Boat Navigation. Though it may seem visionary to many, we have no doubt of the practicability of rendering Whitewater navigable for light draught Pteamcrs, during at least half of the year. The undertaking would be accompanied with much labor and a vast expense, which however, contrasted with the advantages to be derived would be comparatively nothingnot a leaf in the balance. It is not our purpose to estimate the cost of this desirable object, on this occasior nor to descant upon the innumerable advantages consequent upon the work when consummated; but incidentally to direct public attention to the project. It is proposed by gentlemen in this place to superintend the construction of a Boat
for the experiment, who are now taking donations of
funds to be thus applied; and we do hope that the people generally will liberally contribute their mites that the enterprise may progress speedily to the test. The demand on each is small from two to ten is all that is asked; and we feel a confidence that, even should the worst anticipations of those who ridicule the project be realized, the country will not be the poorer by it. Objects infinitely farther off have been brought nigh; so it may be with this, if we do not fold our arms and cry it can't be done' therefore, let all clap shoulder to the wheel and by a simultaneous effort, set it in motion. There is abundance of water if a proper disposition be made of it, and hence there can be no doubt of the practicability of the scheme. Then, as before remarked, let all cordially co-operate and the measure may be effected; there is no question of the fact.
The Superintendant of the Western District of the Cumberland Road in Indiana, has advertised for Seald Prosposals at Terre Haute, from the 6th to the 10th of May, "for bridging, culverts, and necessary grading on five miles of the above road West of the Wabash river." Also at Putnamville, from the 16th to the 22d for like labor on 14 miles of said Road.
The election of a U. S. Senator from the State of
Pennsylvania was laid over for next year.
Abuse of Privilege. It appears from a statement of
the Post Master at Maysville, Ky. that some .V. C.
took the liberty of franking, as Public Documents, 35 volumes of books from Washington city to Eorae
point in the West. The envelopes were so much de
faced that the frankt were unintelligible. It is really
a source of serious regret that any gentleman should so abuse a privilege. It would be well so to amend the law as to forfeit to the Department every thing attempted to be franked in such manner.
South, Carolina. The Convention adjourned on the lPth ult. The subjoined Ordinances were passed: AN ORDINANCE.
Whereas the Congress of the United States.
by an act recently passed, has provided for such a reduction and modification of the duties upon
foreign imports as will ultimately reduce them to the revenue standard; and provides that no more revenue shall be raised than may be necessary to defray the economical expenditures of the
Government
is therefore Ordained and Declared. That
the Ordinance adooted bv this convention on
the 24th day of November last, entitled "An Ordinance to Nullify certain acts of the Congress of the United States purporting to be laws laying duties on the importation of foregn commodities,"
and all acts passed bv the General Assembly
of the State in pursuance thereof, be henceforth
deemed and held to have no force or or effect:
provided, that the act entitled "an act further
alter and amed the militia laws of this State," passed on the 20th day of December, 1833, shall
remain in full force until it shall be repealed or modified by the legislature. Done at Columbia the fifteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eisht hun

Isaac W. 11 vvne, Clerk. AN ORDINANCE.
io nullity an act ot the Congress of the United
states entitled "an act further to provide for
the collection of daties on imports," commonly
canea tne force liill.
We, the people of the state of South Carolina,
in convention assembled, do declare and ordain
that the act of the Congress of the United States,
entitled "an act turther to provide for the col
lection of duties on imports," approved the 2d day of March, 1833, is unauthorized by the
Constitution of the United States, subversive of
that Constitution, and destructive of civil liber
ty, and that the same is and shall be deemed null
and void in the limits of this State: and it shall
be the duty of the Legislature, at such time as they may deem expedient, to adopt such measures and pass such acts as may be necessary to prevent
the enforcement thereof, and to inflict proper penalties on any person who shall do any act in execution or enforcement of the same within the limits of this state. We do farther ordain and declare, that the allegiance of the citizens of this, while they continue such, is due to the said state : and that obe
dience only and not allegiance, is due by them to any other power or authority, to whom a controul over them has been, or may be delegated by the state: and the General Assembly of the
said state is hereby empowered, from time to
time, when they may deem it proper, to provide for the administration to the citizens and officers
of the state, or such of the officers as they may
think fit, of suitable oaths or affirmations, bind
ing them to the observance of such allegiance, and abjuring all other allegiance; and define what shall amount to a violation of their allegiance, and to provide the proper punishment for such violation.
Done at Columbia, the eighteenth day ofl
March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-three, and in the fiftyseventh year of the sovereignty and independence of the United States of America.
ROBERT Y. HAYNE, President of the Convention, Delegate, &c. Isaac W. Hayne, Clerk. DARING MURDER. On the second inst. a most daring and cold
blooded murder was committed in Sullivan county, in this State, by a man by the name of Robert
V lute upon another man by the name of Hugh
Johnson. Mr. Johnson was at a loff rolling, with
a company of his neighbors, and while they were engaged, in the field or clearing, White crept
up stealthily and unseen by the party, within shooting distance, on the opposite side of a bayou
or swamp, and tired and killed Johnson, and in
stantly ran off and made his escape. Great ex
citement prevails in the county, and the people
have called upon the Executive to aid them in the
apprehenssou of White. White is about 45 3 ears of age, G feet high, dark complexion, hazle eyes, prominent cheek bones, bold spoken, strong voice, and one ofhis lingers is crooked and stilt Fifty dollars reward and all reasonable charges will be given for his apprehension. We are not informed as to the cause of Whites conduct. Indiana Democrat.
The Greatest Man in Congress. This individual is said, by a Washington letter writer, to be Mr. Lewis, of Alabama, who weighs three hundred and fifty pounds, and for whom a chair has been provided in the House of Representatives, the common large chairs not being large enough. He is not yet thirty years of age, and ranks high for intelligence aud industrious legislative habits. Sat. Cour.
DREADFUL EFFECTS OF INTEMPERANCE. A man, the father of a large family, was placed on Sunday evening, in the Pennsylvania Hospital, in a dreadful 6tate of mania a potu, with his throat widely gashed, and his garments deluged with blood. lie had indulged in his usual habits of drink on Saturday; and on Sunday, while lying on the bed, with his wife and children about the room, procured a razor, near at hand, and attempted in despite of all the preventive efforts of his relations to take his own life. He had almost succeeded in his design, wlten the screams of the family brought some persons to their assistance. The scene presented at this juncture was beyond description. The blood had stained the bed, and those who had attempted to stay the suicidal purpose of the madman; the wife was in a state of great terror and exhaustion, and the whole household convulsed with anguish and alarm. The man was immediately removed to the Hospital, where every attention required by his dreadful situation was imparted to him. We learn, however, that very faint hopes are entertained ofhis recovery. Phil Gaz. The annual Treasury statement, of Imports and Exports, from the 30th Sept. 1831, to the
30th Sept. 1832, shows that the Imports are es
timated at one hundred and one millions, twenty
nine thousand, two hundred and sixty-six dol
lars. 1 he Lxports are estimated at ei ghty-seven
millions, one hundred and seventy-six thousand, nine hundred and forty three dollars. The Im
ports arc about two millions less than in 1830-'3l the exports about six millions more. Cincinnati Gaz.
Steam Boat Reaper Sunk. We learn
from below, that this boat snagged and sunk about GO miles above New Orleans, and that fif
teen persons lost their lives. The particulars have not yet reached the citv. Insured in the
Cincinnati Insurance Co. for 10,000.
Since writing the above we have been informed by Mr. J. II. Wood, one of the owners of the
Reaper, that she sunk in seventy feet water, and
