THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 6, 1834.
rphp Northern Neck District.—Instructions to
1 ' Mr. Chinn.
We are glad to see that the intelligent and
respectable people of the Northern Neck of Vir
ffinia have made a demonstration in favor of
constitutional liberty. We have, for some time
past, been convinced that a majority of the peo
ple of that Congressional District were opposed
to the Administration on many of the important
political subjects of the day. Their Represen
tative in Congress does not, we believe, feel as
satisfied of this as we do. On the subject of the
Deposites, however, we hazard little in saying,
that a great majority are opposed to the course
of the President. It would have given us great
pleasure, then, to have seen their Kepiesenta
jjve—whose intelligence and worth are acknow
ledged by all who know him—ranging himself,
on this question, with the State from which he
comes, and with the high-minded and generous
people who have honored him with a seat in the
National Councils. This would have required
no sacrifice of principle—involved no inconsis
tency of purpose; and we therefore the more re
gret that his sense of duty does not permit him to
pursue such a course. We come, however, to
the design of this article.
A public meeting of the citizens of Westmore
land was held at the Court House of that Coun
tv on the 27th ultimo. Daniel Payne, Esq. pre
sided. The object of the meeting was explain
ed in an appropriate address by Willoughby
Newton, Esq. and strong resolutions against the
Removal of the Deposites were presented by
Dr. Robert Murphy, and against the usurpation
of power on tike part of the President by G. W.
Lewis, Esq.; which were adopted with two or
three dissenting voices. The names of these
gentlemen will show the respectability and cha
racter of the meeting; and we particularly re
joice to see the course that Mr. Newton has ta
ken—he having been formerly, we believe, one
of the most ardent supporters of the President
in his county.
Alter the adoption of the regular resolutions,
on motion of Willoughby Newton, Esq. it was
Resolved, That the following letter of instruc
tion to our Representative in Congress be sign
ed by the members ofthi3 meeting, and that the
Secretary forward copies of the same to such
persons in every part of the District as he thinks
will further the object of this meeting, with a re
quest that they will, alter procuring a sufficient
number of signatures, transmit them by mail as
speedily as possible to Joseph W. Chinn, Esq.:
“The undersigned, voters of the Congres
sional District at present represented by Joseph
W. Chinn, E>q. understanding that their Repre
sentative has determined (unless instructed to
the contrary) to oppose the proposition now
pending in Congress, to restore the Public De
posites to the Bank ©f the United States, take
this as the only practicable method, at this in
clement season, of expressing to him their views
and wishes upon this interesting and important
question.
The undersigned, therefore, express distinctly
to their Representative, their deliberate opinion
that the removal of the Public Deposites from
the Bank of the United States by the Executive,
under existing circumstances, was unwise, ille
gal, unjust to the Batik, and in its consequences,
likely to affect most injuriously the great com
mercial, agricultural, and manufacturing inte
rests of the community; that it has in fact pro
ducer! most extensive embarrassments in the
commercial cities, which is rapidly extending
to the country, and is already very seriously felt
by his immediate constituents. That the only
(hu avilc flnvi irm1 frnn> tliic linwie**
measure is to be found in the prompt and decid
ed action of Congress, in repairing as far as is
now possible, this breach of the national faith,
by annulling the lawful proceedings of the Ex
ecutive, and providing for the future deposite of
the public money in the Bank of the United
States.
‘‘Firmly convinced that this measures is
alike necessary to the vindication of the nation
al honor, the protection of the public in
terests, and the restoration of public tranquility
—we, the undersigned, in the exercise of our un
doubted right as electors, respectfully, but de
cidedly. instruct our representative in Congress,
Joseph W. Chinn, Esq., to use his best efforts to
procure the adoption by Congress, of such
measures as will ensure the future deposite of
public money in the Bank of the United States.”
That these instructions may be speedily and
extensively circulated and signed, active mea
sures ought to be taken. We trust the people of
Mr. Chinn's district will lose no time in forward
ing the expression of their sentiments on this
important question—a question which involves
public liberty. Should time not be given for the
voters generally to sign the instructions, we
hope, if decided evidence of the wishes of the
people is given in any other way, that it may
be regarded as a virtual instruction, and acted
upon accordingly- The people ought, in this
matter, to be obeyed; for it is a matter which
intimately and directly concerns them.
In any remarks which are here made, we
trust the Representative from the Northern
Neck will see nothing unkind or disrespectful.
There is nothing of this intended. The repre
sentations of all w ho have the pleasure of Mr.
Chinn’s acquaintance induce us to entertain no
other feelings towards him but those of respect
and esteem.
The Canada papers state that Lord Aylmer,
die Governor, has refused the Representatives
flf the People certain information requested by
them in relation to subjects of a public nature.
He has also refused them the usual warrants for
money, as he claims to have exclusive pow7er
over the Treasury. •
f o/. Crockett.—It may interest the friends of
this genuine son of the West to learn, that he
has lately completed, with his own hand, a nar
rative of his life and adventures, and that the
"ork will be shortly published by Messrs. Carey
&, Hart, of Philadelphia. The work bears this
excellent and characteristic motto by the author:
I leave this rule for others, when I am dead:
Be alway sure you’re right—then go ahead!

A public meeting of the citizens of Cumber
i land, New Jersey, has been called to take into
consideration the present deranged state of the

the friends of the National Administration.
Mr. Booth has been playing at Louisville and
with entire success. The Louisville Journal

Mr. Editor:—1 see from your paper that the
! friends of several gentlemen have proposed
them as candidates for the suffrages of the peo
ple of Fairfax County, at the ensuing April elec
tion: and as the time has arrived when the poli
tical principles of each candidate should be
well known and understood by the people, I
have taken the liberty of calling upon them,
through the medium of your press, to know
their sentiments upon the important subject
which now agitates the minds of the people.
Mr. Editor, we feel insecure—we know not
where we stand. The commercial spirit and
enterprise of the country is destroyed: all busi
ness is at a stand: dismay and ruin stare upon
us from every quarter; and every thing portends
the near approach, not only of the ruinous con
sequences of a depreciated paper currency, but,
Mr. Editor, of the entire destruction of our hard
earned liberty—for all history, the example of
other nations, teach us a lesson not to be mis
understood; it teaches of the danger of permit
ting the control of the public revenue to go out
of the hands of the immediate representatives
of the people, even for a limited time. At one
time, liberty itself was in danger of becoming
extinct, in the whole British empire, from this
very cause: and I am well convinced, that the
Representatives of the People of these United
States will see the importance of preserving
the power over the revenue in their own hands,
which has been placed there by the people of
the United States;—if they do not, let them sanc
tion this dangerous assumption of power—this
gross violation of chartered rights; and let them
permit Andrew Jackson, now dizzy and drunk
with power, (which in an evil moment was com
mitted to him.) to assume the “ responsibility’*
of usurping powers not vested in him by the
laws or the Constitution,—and what, let me
ask, will there be to prevent him from placing a
crown upon his head and transmiting it to his
successor, the present heir apparent.
But, Mr. Editor, there is some consolation
that one portion of the United States will not
quietly submit to this outrage upon their rights
and liberty. Already has Virginia, good old
Virginia, stepped forward, in all her majesty,
and snatched the bleeding Constitution from
under the feet of the despot, and told him, in
language plain and unequivocal, that he has vi
olated the Constitution, and trampled upon the
rights of the people. And, Mr. Editor, as I well
know that it is the wish of the people of Fairfax
that Virginia may always present an unbroken
rront in resisting enuruauumems anu assump
tions of undeleguted powers, from every quar
ter, I am induced to ask of the gentlemen now
before us their sentiments in relation to the Re
moval of the Deposites from the United States
Bank. A VOTER.

Mr. Snowden—It is well known to the public
at large, and to several individuals in particular,
to whom the gentleman who is supposed to be a
Canal Stockholder has addressed himself, that
he has not ceased to speak of many of the Di
rectors in such style as to justify the language
used by “ Civis,” and it is not surpi&ing that
the substance should find its way to your co
lumns. If any should doubt of the truth, they
may refer to the President. But I trust that
neither “ Civis” nor any other will further in
trude this matter on your time and valuable pa

Airival of the Hon. Mr. Hamm, from Chili—
The brig Lady Adams of Baltimore, anchored
in Hampton Roads on Saturday evening last,
in the remarkably short passage of 70 days from
Valparaiso, via Coquimbo. Among the pas
sengers in the L. A. was the Hon. John Hamm,
Charge d’affaires of the United States to the Re
public of Chili, who came up to this place last
evening in the steam boat Pocahontas, for Bal
timore, via Annapolis. We have been oblig
ingly favoured with the following extract of a
letter from a passenger on board the Lady.
“Mr. Hamm is the bearer of the Treaty of
Commerce and Navigation which he conclud
ed with the Chilian Government some time ago,
and which was duly ratified by the President
and Senate of the United States;—but the time
limited for the exchange of ratifications at
Washington having expired, and' sundry
amendments having been proposed by the Chil
ian Congress, it became necessary, as I learn, to
enter with the Plenipotentiary of Santiago into
an explanatory Convention, and to have again
the whole matter submitted to the Chilian Con
gress for their approbation. These Prelimina
ry arrangements were all satisfactorily settled
in November last, by the ratification of the trea
ty as well as explanatory Convention, and an
envoy was appointed to proceed directly to
Washington for the purpose of exchanging the
ratifications, and reside near the Government.
Senhor Don Manuel Carvallo, the Chilian
Envoy, is also a passenger in the Lady Adams,
and will proceed to Washington with Mr. Hamm,
1 for the purpose of laying the whole before our
Government, he being the bearer of the Treaty
and Convention in the Spanish Language.
“ It will be found that in the performance of
his highly responsible duties, few men have had
more embarrassment and difficulties to encoun
ter and contend with, and few have more per
fectly accomplished the objects of their mission
than Mr. Hamm. How gratifying therefore it
must be, on his return home, after so long an ab
sence, to congratulate with kindness, and receive
with a hearty welcome the public servant who
has thus so sucessfully and honorably filled the
i most sanguine expectations of his old friends and
acquaintance, in rendering such essential and
important services to his country, by firmly es
tablishing with a most flourishing section of the
South American continent, relations so flatter
ing and encouraging to our enterprising and
commercial community.
“ And allow me to add, that to have discharg
ed the difficult and complicated obligations of
a Foreign Minister, (particularly in South Ame
rica, where revolutionary movements are so
frequent among a people so peculiarly consti
tuted, and this being the first Treaty that the Re
public of Chili has ever entered into,) to the en
tire satisfaction of the Government by which he
was appointed—and that, also, at which he has
so long resided, is truly a public claim to respect
and confidence which few diplomatic agents
have the abilities and rare good fortune to
achieve.
“ Mr. Hamm’s friends will rejoice to hear of
his safe arrival, in good spirits, and his health
much benefited, by the sea voyage; and that af
ter having enriched his mind with the treasures
found in the Southern hemisphere, he may re
turn to his much loved adopted State, Ohio, so
improved in health as to serve his country again,
is the sincere wish of one who is well acquainted
with his firmness of character, personal merits,
his frank, patriotic purposes, and safe judgment.

In the Senate yesterday, Mr. WEBSTER
from the Committee on Finance, made a Repori

most interesting and animated debate took place
—in which Messrs. FORSYTH, WEBSTER,
CLAY, WRIGHT, WILKINS, and others, took
part. The debate involved the whole subject.
At half past four o’clock, the motion to print
was agreed to, and the Senate adjourned.

resumed and concluded his speech in opposition

ligion. He was a native of Coventry, Con
necticut; and in early life became deeply im
pressed by the truths of religion, and felt urged,
by motives irresistible, to devote his life to the
preaching of the Gospel iu various parts of the
world. His eccentric dress, and style of preach
ing, attracted great attention; while his shrewd
ness, and quick discernment of character, gave
him no inconsiderable influence over the multi
tudes that attended on his ministry. lie travel
led extensively in England and Ireland, and re
peatedly visited almost every portion of the Uni
ted States. He had been a public preacher for
more than thirty years, and it is probable that
more persons have heard the Gospel from his
lips, than from those of any other individual
since the daj^s ofWhitfield.
He wrote several books, particularly a histo
ry of his own life, so singularly eventful, and
full of vicissitude. His purity of purpose, and
integrity and benevolence of character, can
hardly be questioned. He was a Methodist in
principle, and though not in connexion with that
socicfy, was held in esteem by many of that bo
dy. A wanderer through life, it is believed he
was a sincere Christian pilgrim, seeking a hea
venly country, and that he now rests in the Ci

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks
burg and my plantation, in the upper <nc
of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE
on which lie was riding, both belonging to me
were stolen by a man who seems to have bee*
a stranger in this part of the country. Whor
seen in possession of the Slave and of the Marc
he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court
House. He is described to me as a person be
tween fifty and sixty years of age, with :.*c
markably white hair; his stature stout and wel
set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak
The negro is between twenty-five and thirty
years of age, as well as is remembered; stout f
his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in
ches high; has a drawling manner of talking,
and appears to be much less sagacious than he
really is. His name is Jack. His dress was r.
blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under
clothing drab cloth.
The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any
spot of white about her, unless perhaps there
may be some few white hairs in the centre o
