jj We were led into an . error by a noithern
paper in the statement concerning the Orphan Asy
lum in Philadelphia. That building is not destroy
ed by fire, but injured only, as the firemen' extin
guished the flames. But there is no mistake about
the Abolition Hall, : ' .."'. : 'V ' . - V .
A fire occurred in Albany, N. Y. on the 25th
ult. It commenced in Mr. Gooch's extensive car
riage factory, and the loss of that gentleman is es
timated at $45,000 $20,000 insured. . Most of the
buildings destroyed, except Mr. G's, werVof wood
and of no great value; about a dozen buildings in
all. I - . .
?r It is a shame for our neighbor of the Regis
ter to endeavor to cut his new co-worker in the
cause of Whiggery, the editor of the-"Colored
American." That " colored gentleman" is " a
whig and will vote with the whigs," and tho' at
present he may be a 'Webster whig, he will un
doubtedly vote for , the regularly nominated candi
date of his party
- FEDERAL WISDOM.
The federal whig presses are circulating a speech
of one Mr. Bond, under the head of "facts for the
people." This astonishing genius has discovered
that it costs more to sustain a government over a
people composed of twelve millions, than a nation
of six millions : from which the arithmetical prob
lem is elucidated, thai a family consisting of ten
persons will require more money to support them
than a family of five. Among the mathematical
phenomena also exhibited in these "facts for the
people," is the astounding circumstance that an ad
ministration requires more money to carry on a war
with Indian Tribes, than to support itself without
any war at all. It is also ascertained that the navy
is more expensive since its increase than it was be
fore. These are not '.'half a quarter" of the won
ders set forth , by that inimitable congressional ge
nius, the newly celebrated Mr. Bond. But the
beauty and sublimity of these calculations are found
in the conclusion ; which is, that although the ex
penses of a household increase with the number of
persons, yet it ought not to be so, but the chief there
of is " wicked aud corrupt" if he permit such a con
sequence.' So this profound logician decides that
an administration is " wicked and corrupt" that per
mits its expenses to increase from war, congress
ional appropriations, or any other cause whatever !
Profound calculations : terrible conclusions : costs
more to dispose of seven millions of dollars worth of
the public lands in 1837, than it did to sell one mil
lion's worth in 1828 ; more expensive to buy cord
age for two ships than for one, or for no ship at all ;
more to buy 200 U3 of ship bread than 100 all
this very true very wicked ought not to be so.
What will be said of Mr. Bond, " when the queen
of the South shall return, &c?"
Cf We are glad to hear our friend of the Hills
borough Recorder say that the Federal Whig can
didates of Orange will tome out openly and above-
board. We shall not say "Oh Hush" to this. Let
them tell the people, what they know to be true;
that they are identified with the Northern Federal
Party ; that they are in favor of Henry Clay for the
Presidency, who is in favor of internal improve
ment by the General Government, a High Tariff
a National Bank, and abolition ; let them tell the
people that they intend to instruct our Senators to
vote for a National Bank ; let them say that the ac
cusations of their party against the administration,
about the currency, exchange, commerce, &c. are
all untrue, as will be seen by the extract from Mr.
BentoDjS speech, in this week's Slandard. If they
do this we shall honor them as " flat-footed" feder
alists, and respect while we oppose them. Nothing
is more disgusting than to see intelligent and moral
men deceive the people, by asserting falsehoods to
promote political objects and we hope the gentle
men alluded to will not do it. Truth is all we ask
on (he occasion ; and shall be truly glad to see the
federal whig candidates of Orange and every other
county, "make broad their phylacteries" with "tell
truth and shame the devil," instead of shaming that
personage by out-doing him in that particular.
Let them not forget to tell the people that the
I name of " whig" was given to them by gentleman
iWeeb, of 52,000 purchase memory, and that it is
a federal cheat and humbug.
ELECTION OF PRESIDENT.
We understand that Henry Clay has been elected
President of sundry Rail Road Cars, Steam Boats,
Canal Boats, Tap Rooms, &c. On board one boat
at the south, there were thirty gentlemen, and the
three " availables," Harrison, Webster and Clay
were put in nomination. The result was for Henry
Clay 20 ; Daniel Webster 10; Gen. Harrison 0 ;
but those who voted for Clay and Webster said
they would go hand in hand for either, if proper
ly nominated. If these circumstances prove any
thing, they aid in establishing the identity between
southern "whigs" and northern federalists and a
bolitionists. .
The Boston Atlas cautions its federal par
tizans as to the results of some recent elections in
their favor. He says, " we have hardly scotched
the snake, it is absurd to imagine we have killed
it." He may well say that !
tCr' The Texan Congress have refused to with
draw their application for annexation to the United
States. The question, however, was decided by a
majority of one. - This is attributed by the opposi
tion to "our government,'? of course. We think
our government has done all ,that it has a right to
do. - Congress is in session, and it rests with the
representatives of the people. Is it not known that
northern federalists and abolitionists oppose the an
nexation? Is it not known that southern "whigs"
go hand in hand with these partizans, while they
thus abuse the government for their own act, as
they have frequently done before? We wish Mr.
Clay would find a "halfway house" of shame for
his supporters, where they may pause in their mad
and destructive career.-
ATTEMPTS TO FIRE CHARLESTON.
The Courier of the 31st ult. states that a daring
attempt was made on the night of the preceding
Tuesday, to fire the city, by placing matter of a
raoustible nature on the first floor of a three and
a half 8l0ry brick house, corner of St. Michael's
Alley and Church Street, which was fortunately
discovered before the flamed had made much' pro
gress. An attempt VaS also made, a few days pre
vious, to fire the premises of . an individual in the
vicinity of the Union, and Planter3 and Mechan
ic iJanks. These circumstances afford evidence
of surpassing malignity and blackness of heart.
GOVERNOR RITNER'S PROCLAMATION
The Proclamation of Gov. Ritner, of Pennsyl
vania, in reference to the late, riot in Philadelphia
is strongly indicative of the ' feelings of his party
He need not .say, with 'the" colored gentleman who
edits the Colored American, "; We are a Whig
and vote with the. Whigs.".- Any one can see that
The excesses enacted in the city, have asmrtecr a
form (he says) "the most destructive of property and
domestic quiet, the most inimical to individual
rights and the most ruinous 10 social narmony.ana
public order that can be conceived." And pray
are not the excesses committed by the abolitionists
productive of all these results? But in the latter
case the matter " is 4 contemplated ''at a distance,"
and therefore should' not affect "the orderly city of
Philadelphia." Certainly not the promulgation. o;
doctrines that lead to mischiefs, -'to which those
like the Philadelphia riots are . but as pastime in
comparison, is but the constitutional and invalua
ble right of the free communication of though ts
ami opinions" in the orderly city of Philadelphia.
Our readers will not accuse us of perverting lan
guage for party purposes, when we lay before them
the following extracts , from the Proclamation of
Mr. Ritner, the federal whig governor of Penn-
sylvania :
Whereas, I have learned with the' deepest re-
-i - - i r !"- i
grct, mat me sou or Pennsylvania nas oeen ais
? raced, the rights of her peaceful citizens outraged.
and their property destroyed by acts of lawless ri
ot. For the nrst time the orderly city oi i'hiladel
phia has become the theatre of scenes .heretofore
only contemplated at a distance, as dangerous ex
cesses on the part of others. " - They have now been
enacted in our midst, and assumed a - lorm the
most destructive of property and domestic quiet,
the most inimical to individual rights, and the most
ruinous to social harmony and public order that can
be conceived.
The torch of the incendiary has been applied by
unmasked violators of law, in the darkness of night,
in the heart of a crowded city, and for the avowed
purpose of preventins the exercises of the constitu
tional and invaluable right of" the free commu
nication of thoughts and opinions." And where
as, if it be true that " even error of opinion may be
tolerated while reason is left free to combat it,"
the practice of combatting supposed error with the
hrebrand, or of punishing even crime without the
established process of law. must be the very es
sence of tyranny. And whereas, it is the duty of
the magistrate to protect alljn the exercise ot their
constitutional rights without respect to the ques
tion whether their respective objects be or be not
agreeable to himself orothers, so long as their de
portment is veaceful and the object lawful.
And whereas, it is the duty of the Governor of
this commonwealth, " to take care that the laws oe
faithfully executed." especially in cases where e-
uormity transcends the magnitude of common guilt.'
As a further comment upon the extracts above,
we shall quote a few words from the Washington
Chronicle, of the 26th ult. The editor says : " We
have not a word to waste on these " whereases"
and their sequents. We are no advocates of vio
lence : but there are some offences in society which
cannot be reached in the ordinary course of law.
These must make their own remedies. A man is
not prevented, by law from running naked through
the streets; but if he feel disposed to exercise this
" constitutional right," he must not be surprised
if he feel the whip on his back. And shall the
reckless incendiary who, under the pretext of
( communicating his? thoughts and opinion," . is
scatterinbrebrands, arrows and death throughout
the whole country, be allowed to practice his wick
edness with impunity 1 . Gov. Ritner undertakes to
say that the " objects" of these fanatics are " LAW
FUL ;" that they are but exercising their "consti
tutional and invaluable rights." This creates no
surprise Gov. Ritner is a " WHIG," aye " eve-
ry inch a Whig ;" and we are accustomed to hear
such opinions from that quarter. The Lynchburg
Virginian, and one of the editors of the Richmond
Whig, will not, perhaps, see this proclamation ; or
if they do," it will be under the influence of what
Galen denominates, pseudo bleptsis and as men
conscious of a defect of vision, will be unwilling to
speak of it. - Be it so. There are others who com
prehend its drift. Yet we undertake to say that
Gen. Porter will beat him. 4000 votes, maugre his
fanatical associates.'?
THE CHEROKEES.
The Southern Banner of the 26th ult. printed at
Athens, Geo. says that about 600 United States'
troops passed .through that place during the week,
on their way to the Cherokee country. More were
expected. Gen Floyd and his staff had also arri
ved at Athens, on their way to New Echota. He
commands the brigade of Georgia Militia.
The Cherokees are yet peaceable ; but in Gilmer
and Union counties, they have been seen trans
porting corn, in sacks and otherwise, to the moun
tains, where it is supposed they intend to retreat
whenever the treaty is enforced. It is thought the
Cherokees on the North Carolina line will pursue
the same course.
The U. States Government will enforce the trea
ty. There is' no alternative, - In 1802, a compact
was made between the United States and Georgia,
by which the latter ceded to the former all her
claim to the lands west of the present western
boundary of Georgia ; and the United States agreed
to extinguish the Indian title east of that line, so
soon as it could be done peaceably and on reasona
ble terms. The States of Alabama and Missis
sippi are formed on the lands thus ceded ; while
Georgia has been waiting for thirty-six years, in
expectation of the fulfilment of the contract, and the
hope of extending her authority and widening her
population over a section secured to her by cove
nant, and for which an ample equivalent has been
given. Whatever may be the assertions of politi
cal partizans, we cannot see. why these lands are
not as truly the property of the whites as any other.
The same principle that would permit the Chero
kees to remain, would give up the city of Boston to
the remnant or heirs of the Algonquin, ' or New
York to those of the six nations. The treaty of
New Echota, made on the 29th December, 1835,
and the supplementary articles adopted on the first
day of May, 1836, . are signed by nineteen of the
chiefs and head-men oh behalf of the Cherokees,
and have all the evidences of validity that appertain
to any other of the treaties between the U. States
and the Indian tribes. - We call upon those who
raise an outcry against the General Government
and the State of Georgia, to give up their own
lands to the descendants' of . the aborigines; for
none of them hold by a fairer original title, than do
the parties above-named. , V
- m !The sympathy for the Cherokees U ill-timed, it
encourages the criminal interference of-Ross, and
the hostile feeling's of the Indians: -' i5: - ;
' Government has but one courseto remove the
Indians. When this, is done they may nave time
to hear what the psuedo moralists and politicians
have to say-and discuss, at leisure, the equity and
convenience of a general surrender. .' "
The excellent manifesto of ihe brave and noble
General Scott, ..will show the temper and disposi
fion of the Government, as well as the' humane
feelings of that ; distinguished . officer ;'. and i a
pledge that the necessary arrangements will be
made in a spirit of kindness and humanity towards
the Indians, and with a due regard to the integrity
and honor of the, government. ' - '
Those who imagine that the Indians have been
unjustly Used, .will be gratified to find that John
Ridge, a principal Cherokee who signed the above-
mentioned.' treaties,; and -whose statement may be
relied on,- testifies to the contrary. In a letter re
cently written by him to the Hon? Wilson Lump
kin, he speaks in raptures of the section to which
a portion of the Cherokees have'already gone, and
of the contentment and prosperity of his people.
Of the treaty he says: "The treaty is so liberal
in its provisions for the comfortable removal of the
Cherokees, that I have heard no complaints on that
head," but the highest satisfaction." .
Again, he observes: "If the people of the United
States could only see our condition in the west,
they would no longer assist John Ross to delude
the poor, ignorant portions of our people to remain
in the east, while he can speculate on their mise
ries." . . - " - '.- - - -v "
THE DIFFERENCE.
Federal complacency beholds Mr. ; Clay, Mr.
Wiset and other federal whig members of Con
gress, travelling about the country, for pleasure or
relaxation, and sees that all is right.
Federal indignation sees a democratic republi
can Senator come home under the double claims of
domestic 'solicitude and a professional obligation,
and immediately returning to Washington, after
having continued the suit merely, and beholds a
most scandalous piece of monstrosity. -
Ex. Session of the JS. Carolina Legislature.
The extra session of the Legislature of South
Carolina ..commenced on the 29th' ultimo. The
message of the governor is highly creditable to his
mind and honorable to his heart. He says : "As our
mother city, consecrated in the affections of every
patriot, by the'proudest associations of his country 's
history, Charleston is entitled to the pious care and
filial regard of the State."
A bill entitled the " Charleston Relief Bill," has
been reported in the Senate, and will, probably, pass
the Legislature by a handsome and generous ma
jority. It proposes that the . btate issue bonds to
the amount of two millions of dollars, one million
of which shall be payable at the end of 20 years,
and the other million at the expiration.of 30 years,
at a rate of interest not exceeding six per cent, for
the purpose of procuring a loan on the credit of the
State,, to rebuild the city of Charleston. The mo
ney thus raised is to be deposited in the Bank of the
State of South Carolina, and to become a part of
the capital thereof, to be loaned to such applicants
as will rebuild that portion of the city of Charles
ton which has been destroyed by fire Naloan is
to be made upon any lot where there is a wooden
building-, unless bond is given to remove the same
within a year. ,
53" The relief bill is passed H. of Represent
atives, 74 to 30 ; Senate, 31 to 9.
A Goon idea. The New York Commercial Ad
vertiser has the following in relation to female Ab
olition preachers and their husbands and parents :
"The females who so far forget the provihee of
their sex, as to perambulate the country, and assem
ble for such purposes, should be gently restrained
from their convocations, and sent to the insane hos
pitals to be bound. Meantime the husbands and
parents of these modern Amazons, should be array
ed in caps and aprons, and installed in their respec
tive kitchens."
In justice to the editors of the National In
telligencer, we publish the following disavowal of
the charge made against.' them by the Emancipa
tor.
" If " the Emancipator" means to assert, or in-
try or daily, issued for circulation at the North, va
ry from those issued for the. South, or the West,
or for any other point, then it utters a falsehood.
Our editions for every portion of our subscribers,
are the same in every line and letter, and the wise
acre who suggested such a trick as that of changing
of the contents of a paper tor the purpose imputed to
us, we should suspect to be just such a knave as
would be capable ot doing the thing nimsen.
INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENTS.
The National Intelligencer of the 31st ult. says
that there were some floating rumors and suspi
cions the two days previous, of turbulent and se
ditious designs among the black population. That
paper thinks there are no sufficient grounds for un
easiness on the subject. The Washington Chroni
cle has the following remarks on this subject:
" We do not know enough to underwrite for the
character of the " colored brethren" in this city;
but however peaceably inclined, the movements
made, and being made in this District by the Abo
litionists, should admonish us to be on the alert.
This citv is the centre of agitation. In Congress
and out of it, the fanatics are numerous and active.
The city authorities ought to be vigilant and mam-
tain an active and laithtui pouce. we ao not
know whether any precautions have been taken
but the corporate authorities are guilty of gross neg-lio-ence
if such has not been done. While on the
subject, we will inquire whether a certain member
of the House of Representatives has not recently
attended a negro church in this city, and partaken
of the sacrament with the blacks? . It is so said
and we should liKe to Know wnemer iruiy or uoi.
Such conduct, however, defensible in.the abstract,
does not,, by any means, respect the existing rela
tions of society." : .

Army, sends to the Cherokee people, remaining
in i North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and
mattama, tnis AOartss
. Cherokees! The President of the United
States has sent nie, with a powerful army, , to
cause you; in obedience to the Treaty of 1835,
to join. that part of your people who are already
established in prosperity, on " the other side f
Mississippi, unnappuy.tne two years which
were allowed for tlje purpose, you have suffered
to pass away vyilhout following, and . without
making any preparation loollow, and now, or by
the tune that this solemn address shall reach
your distant settlements, the emigration must be
commenced in haste, but, I hope, without dis
order. I haye no power, by granting a further
delay, to correct the error that you have com
mitted. The full moon of May is already on the
wane, and before another shall have passed away,
every Cherokee man, woman and child, in those
States, must be in motion to join their brethren in
the far West. ' -
My Friends! This is no sudden determina
tion on the part of the President, whom you and
1 must now obey. By the treaty, the emigration
was to have been completed on or before the 23d
of this month, and the President has constantly
kept you warned, during the two years allowed,
through all his officers and agents in the country,
that the Treaty would be enforced.
I am come (o carry out that determination.-
My troops already occupy many positions in
the country that you are to" abandon, and thou
sands, and thousands are approaching, from
every quarter, to render resistance and escape
alike hopeless. All those troops, regular and
militia, are your friend3. Receive - them and
confide in them as such.- r Obey them when
they tell you that you can remain no longer in
this country. Soldiers areas kind hearted as
brave, and the desire of every one of us is to
execute our painful duty in mercy. We are
commanded by the President to act towards you
in that spirit, and such is also the wish of the
whole people of America.
Chiefs, head men, and warriors ! Will vou.
then, by resistance, compel us to resort to arms?
dod forbid I Ur will you, by flight, seek to hide
yourselves in mountains and forests, and thus
oblige us to hunt you down? Remember that,
in pursuit, it may be impossible to avoid con
flicts. The blood of the white man, or the
blood of the red man may be spilt, and if spilt,
however accidentally, it may he impossible for;
the discreet and humane among1 you, or among
us to prevent a general war and carnage. Think
oi mis, my nerokee ' nretnren ! l am an old
warrior, and have been present at many a scene
of slaughter; but spare me, I beseech you, the
horror of witnessing the destruction of the Chero
kees. -
Do not, I invite you, even wait for the close
approach of the troops; but make such prepara
tions for emigration, as you can, and hasten to
this place, to Ross' Landing, or to Gunter's
Landing, where you alt will be received in kind
ness by officers selected for the' purpose. .You
will hnd rood lor all, and clothing for the desti
tute, at either of those places and thence at your
ease, and in comfort, be transported to your
new homes according to the terms of the Treaty.
Ibis is the address of a warrior to warriors.
May hi3 entreaties be kindly received, and may
the God of both prosper ' the Americans and
Cherokees, and preserve t hern long in peace and
friendship with each other ! . , , .

Battle with the Indians and -Volunteers. -At
2 o'clock P. M. Capt. Ellis, with a small num
ber of men, discovered a party of Indians, and
charged and fired on them. The fire was re
turned by the Indians. .'The detachment imme
diately 'concentrated, and a sharp and spirited
action followed, which lasted about five minutes.
The horses were then ordered behind a sink
hole, and the detachment, with the -exception of
a small guard which was left with the horses,
charged the hammock in good order and great
spirit amid a galling fire from the Indians. On
their entering the hammock the Indians gave
back; and after about ten minutes the detach
ment returned in good order,': An ambuscade
was then made in a pond, . but. before it was left
the Indians fired on the detachment. The fire
was returned by the volunteerswho charged in
to the hammock and continued there about thirty
minutes, during which time u place was selec
ted in the pond for a fortification, in case we
should be compelled to remain oh the ground all
night. Ihe place selected seemed, to have been

" The spring contains : 1st. a smalf portion of Iron :
2d. sulphate of Lime t 3d. sulphate of Magnesia, in a
large proportion, it does not contain any sulpher or

wnen nusn," :
Living within eight miles of the Hickory Spring.
and its curative properties believed tp be efficacious, in
many complaints, J was induced to send a negro man to
it, who had (to me) the appearance of being far advan
ced in consumption, evinceefby pain in the breast, cough,
and a protuseand onensive expectoration. He bad used
the water but a short time belore he was enabled to re
turn to his daily labor. And an aggravation of symp
toms has been as successfully removed since, by a i-e-cond
visit to ihe waters of the said Hickory Spring.- I
furthermore ceitify, that I have no idea he would have
otherwise recovered. ,

her case incurable; in less than twelve hours after ar
riving at the Spriug, she began to mend and in eight
days was in perfect health. My wife attended at the

liver, she was much benefitted by drinking the water,
has frequently visited the Spring since, and has always

I have examined .with some car? the Tree of, Legal ..
Knowledge, (an allegorical representation of the Law 'i ,
and Constitution of .England as delineated in the Com
mentaries of Blackstone,) recently published by the "
Messrs. Turner. Cc Hughes. : This performance exhibits ...
with great ingenuity and accuracy the method, divis. -
ions, and leading principles of the English Law, and is .
well calculated to impress them on the. mind ol the stu- "
dent. . I think: too that ihe instructed lawyer will find -
it a pleasant and useful means or refreshing his recol
lections of a work which- must ever hold a high place 'P
in his esteem, and with the analysis of which he cannot -be
too familiar. v : : .B; V. BUTLER.

good one, and, so far as I could observe, the heads t.f.
the science run out into their proper divisions and sub-
