,t,sS COURT MARTIAL.
We learn (sags the Natchez Gazette)
by letters received in this town THAI the
Court Mar,ialhave found the FIRST charge
against Col. Butler substantiated, viz.
= disobediences of orders in refusing to
crop his hair, " and have sentenced him
to receive q rePrimand and thar they
have acquitted him ofthe second charge,
viz. !" Neglect Of duty in no. rendering
himself 70 his command in this eountry.5
Il Is reported, that the federalists in
the middle and eastern states. propose
holding up Mr.. King and Mr. Pinckney
for Presidencyand Vice Presidency, at
next election. If this be true, their
choice will certainly be equally acerp,a-
BILE to the federalits Of the southern
J states theC arolinasin particular. There
is no citizen in the u. States, the integ-
rity of whose political character is better
established than MIR. Kings. Having
also been absent from this conntIy daring
those late years in whiehiaction and par
s=n spirit have SO much prevailed, he ap-
pears better calculated than almost any O.
ther individual for harmonizinr the
minds OF our citizens, and restoring that:
peace and mutual concord which ought
to be the basis OF every well regulated
government. MIR. King also, from his
Residence in Europe duringth the most eri-
tieal Periodin foreign politics, Is better
sersed and acquainted with the real
designs OF Great Britain on this country
than any other man. Pinckney is univer-
sally acknowledged to be both a soldier
and statesman. Even the most daring
among his opponents have neither i'm.
Peached his entegrity,, his honor, or
his talents. To the deep knowledge Of
the politician, he unitcs the most pleas
ing address, equally fascinating 10 the
courtier and the honest republican. We
have no doubt, if the northern states
continue in the idea of elerting Mr..
King and Mr.. Pinckney. tina, they will
prove successful, and finally triumph o.
yer their enemies. : ~ .s5 4 8. - -
