gland anticipated the purpose OF that
scheme, & ashley we're all Interested IN the
death of the Emperor Paul, tue Subscription
amounted, in few weeks toone million OF
guineas. The gentleman above mentioned,
out OF mere curiosity to see how iar the
English ministry could carry their intamy,
took himself quarter of share in> f,ry
guineas, paid down by one OF ms friends,
for which he received a check OF one hun
dred guineas, payable IT the Emperor
Paul WIS alive until the 10th or May.
But early in April he was assassnated.
1t was gene rally believed in England, that
this Infamous act cost the English minis
try two millions of guineas, one million

which were granted by the Parliament in
1902, on the motion of Mr. .ddGtnSton, the

.dT mcrfing Of the citizens Of the fosvn
Of Columbia, South Carolina, on fhe An
seht The (oEa7oing resolutions s0ere
ananinloOsic ddoi1teS:
ReSoiped, b at in these times of Difficult
ty, union is more than ever necessary, and
that we will hold both those who shall at
tempt 10 div de the people, and those who
shall attemp to Justly the late conduct of
Great Britain, az iBimical to cur govern
ment and place them in the rank with the
old tori
Resoiyed, That we have entire conf
dence in the virtue, the wisdom and patri.
otism OF our government, and that we, in
support OF whatever measures may be a.
dopted Tor redressing our grievances, do
pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sa-
cred donors.
It seems generally agreed that tire Presi-
dent Of the Us. will give kind recepti-
on to Mr.. jackson. That whatever. may
attach itself to tie character of MIR. Jack
son, will dishonor only those who appon-
ted him, and that If England or its ninis-
tiers sport with their own reputation, it is
no reason that the American Nation should
follow The example. Thar il is surely best,
not 10 answer a fool according to his folly,
but according to our own wisdom, that we
may not be like him.
