dence, indeed, will dictate, that governments, long established, should not be changed for
lht and transient causes; and accordingly dl experience hath shown, that mankind are
more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferafcle, than to right themselves, by abolishing
the forms to which they are accustomed. Hut
when a long train of abuses and usurpations,
nuriu::i'T invariably the sam; object, evinces
a ieilzn to reduce them under absolute desjtiin, it is their right.it is their duty, to
;!.row eff such government, and to provide
new ;uajli for their future security. Sucli been the patient sufferance of these colo iles; aad such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems f guvernnienf. The bitary of the present "xin;r f Great Britain, ha history f repeated

&t;oiutiRs, to cause others to be elected;
whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, Lave returned to the people at krp fr tJieir exercise; the state remaining, in the mean time, exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He h:i3 endeavored to prevent the populate of these states; for that purpose, obstruc--mg the laws for naturalization of foreigners;
revising to pass others to encourage their mi- j Ration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has ohstructed the administration'of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their oflices, and the amount and paj-ment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, i:'i sent hither swarms of officers, to harass Cl'r people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our fcgidiuurcs.
Ue has aifected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil pow

Sotttiiekn Ciiors. A Icftcrfiom West Union, S. C. dated June 3, says "We have had storms, rains and frosts in this section of country, and the people are alarmed at -the prospect. Crops backward, and the country
destitute of bread studs the like was never
known in this section; and if wheat cropjf.ii!, I fear many will starve." A Pendleton paper of the 4th states, that although the wet weather would seriously affect the crops, a considerable quantity of wheat would be ready for harvesting the next week. A gentleman from Augusta, Ga. states, that the corps in some of the lower districts are seriously injured by rust, and that some fields have been taken entirely by birds, The lower country rice bird is said" to have made its appearance on Savanah river, in the lower part of this district, and to have ravaged some of the wheat fields. The crops of oats bid fair to turn out well at present, and if they do, much less corn will be required for the support of horses, slock, etc. and some relief will be thus afforded. Cotton, contrary to the ex
pectations of many some time ago, stands well although it is small, in consequence of the cool weather in May. Corn is also backward. A cargo of two thousand five hundred bushels of corn has bcen sold in Augusta at ninety cents by the one or two hundred bushels by ten bushels at one dollar. The prices were owing to the scarcity of the article, which cannot long continue, as many cargoes are, it
is said, expected daily.

Transference of Vital Power. A not uncommon cause of loss of vital powers is the
young sleeping with the aged. This fact, however explained, has been long remarked.
and it is well known to every unprcjuuiceu
observer. But it has been most unaccountably overlooked in medicine. 1 have, on several occasons, met with the counterpart of the
following case: I was, a few years since, consu Ucd about a pale, sickly and thin boy,

made the nuptial tie a jest among his companions. Shortly afterwards, howeVer, he learnt
the fact that his stepmother was the only
daughter of a handsome rich widow when he

two.) She consented to the match, and they

pated that Congress, at thi3 session, would make some law in reference to the refuse pub
lic lands, in the old districts, now lying uncultivated, and worse than uncultivated for every year they are diminishing in value, by the removal of the best timber. But their reasonable expectations, on this subject, we believe, are' likely to meet with further disappointment Congress will do nothing with the matter at this session. The bill to reduce and graduate the price of the public lands, was laid on the table in the House of Representatives, on thc 17th instant, by a vote 82 to 80, and there it may be expected to rest during thc iemaindcrof thc session. The little balance of time then remaining, would not more than suffice to pass the indispensable appropriation bills, and make a fow -distress speeches, about the bank and deposiles; thc latter of which, we apprehend, will be pretty easily kept, after the enormous expenses of the session are paid.
