FOR THE SPECTATOR.
INFRINGEMENT.

Ihave looked, with no small interest,
to the result Of an experiment, now
making, in this town and neighborhood.
For ! have long thought, that nothing
but retrenchment in our expenses, could
relieve US from the distressing cmbar-
easements, under which we labor. 1t is
true, that other means have been album
dainty tried. by persons who are, or ought
to be, capable Of deyising good plans.
But 1t is Just as true, that VIC have found

Some years ago young Indian was

Some years ago young Indian was
brought into the white settlements to be
educated. His agreeable manners, viva
city, and amiable disposition, soon secur-
ed him the esteem, of his numerous as
sociates.
One evening a large company Of
young men, (the Indian being one of the
party, returning from a frolic, full OF
glee, and full OF mischief, proposed TO
remove fence by the way, aud run it
across the road. mo" said the Indian,
+" if We want fun, don't let US do any harm.
Let us have fun that will do good. See
here is a pond across the road, that foot
people cannot get along without getting
wet, and there is an old tree that would
make good foot path. II we must have
a frolic lei US put the old trspaeross the
pond for the people to walk on" The
proposition was immediately adopted and
carried into effect. There are many OF
our civilized young men who might de-
rive instruction from this example

PENSACOLA, SEPT. %.

Before Mr.. Mitchell pronounced the
opinion Of the court on the question Ct.
jurisdiction, which was published in our
last, Governor Jackson made several re-
marks worthy Of himself and which de-
serve 10 be recorded but The following
is SO perfectly characteristic that re
should be inexcasablc in Withholding il
from our readers: He said, g am cloth
"ed with powers that no one under re-
"public ought to possess, and which l
trust wil.inever again be given TO any
man--no,hng will afford me more
happiness than TO learn that congress

them properly, and in such a manner
" as is consonant, 10 our earliest AMI

g these powers by the authority OF an act
Of Congress and commissions from the
g President OF the United States, it there

tifable oil the ground of contempt, mani
Tested in his tardy compliance with the
order to deliver the papers.
"Thcsc events transpired on the 29d
and 21th of August, and from that time
until the Sd September, very little else
was talked of in Pensacola. In the
course Of that time report got into cir,
culation, and reached the cars of Judge
Fcomeniin, that on his visit to general
Jackson he had made an apology for is
suing the writ Of habeas corpus, and
thereby escaped punishment.
Unfortunately, instesdo of merely con-
tradict;ng the story and disregsrd,ng il,
he thought it incumbent upon him torres
cue his judicial character from the obi
umo Of such suggestion, and addressed
:. letter 10 General Jackson, respectfully
requesting the General to enable him
ehectua.iy to con,radic. that report
sDut General Jackson maintained
that hehad done so; and Judge Fromen-
ain treated it as an injurious suggestion
This excited General Jackson To final
answer, which his best friends and warm
est admirers will ever regret that his pen
had produced. Detailed aceounts OF the
whole affair, with copies of the cores
pondenee, have been transmitted TO
Washington, and we regret TO add hat

FROM ST. PETERS. i

Lieut.. Bailey, ofthe United States ar
my, in Is days from the post OF St. Pc
tiers, arrived'here on Sunday last, with a
small detachment of discharged soldiers.
Lieut.. B. represents. the country on the
Mississippi, to enjoy good state Of
health, With the exception OF Prairie Gu
Chen and Fort Armstrong--and that the
troops at the upper posts, particularly,
experienced scarcely any Sickness what
ever. The gardens had been successful
" cultivated, and had yielded most
abundan, crop in every production, ex-
cept that OF Indian corn; the failure Of
which is attributed to the upsunableness
ofthe seed-corn which was brought fran
Virginia, and which is foun.lyon exper-
ment not to answer upon the frs, trial
though hopes are entertained that ihs
planters will yet succeed in naturaiizins
it to the soil and climate. The season
for Corn, it is also said, was very uu-
favorable and Of short duration-that al
though the stock growcd to ain astonish-
ing height, the ears were small, and bore
but scanty increase ofgrain. fhe de-
struc,ion OF Corn, in consequence Of The
innumerable Aocks Of black birds which
infested the fields, is said to have been
very great; those birds were so nu'oer-
Gus, to use the language OF Lieut.. B. as
IS literally to hide the face of Heaven,
and obscure the light of the sun"

"Flint Corn in use among the Indians,

these experiments inadequate to produce
the effect. In fact, they are Just as we'll
calculated to restore an insolyent COM
munity to solvency, as an additional half
pint is to produce sobriety in an intoxi-
Gated man. We feel here, that paper
currency, not competent 10 supply the
deficiency OF solid cash--and from what
we hear from other states, where similar
means have been resor,ed to, we must
suppose that similar effects arc expe-
rionced. Hour paper currency could be
made to pass at par, it might indeed be
adyantageous--and If | mistake not,
general determination to refrain from
purchasing foreign commodities, would
do more TO produce tn. desirable result,
than all the unconstitutional endorsement
laws, that the most senseiess legislature
can pass.
or what real use 10 man of sense is
foreign irippory ? 1t is true we have been
foolish enough 10 expepd more, perhaps,
than honesty would admit, in It's pur-
chase but now that we feel so forclbly,
the effects of our proaigalty, should
suppose we would require no other mo-
tive for adopting an economical course.
But il may be asked, why aced we en-
ter into a cotnpac, for the purpose an
swer, that in order TO etfec, any material
change in public manners, a sinulta-
neous action is necessary; and nothing
is so likely 10 excite the people to unite
with one accord, and al one rsoment, as
Inc union OF tie kind proposed.
] cannot but feel anxious, that the as
ISOLATION lately formed, may spread
through the country. II it is inconve-
nient for people at distance to become
attached 10 this parsiculer society, let
them initiate the cxam,ae OF this section
of the country, by forming associations
Tor similar purposes.
feei confident, that ifsuch measure
is carried into general effect, it will be
conducive 10 the most lasting benefit.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
no THE PEOPLE OF ILLINOIS.


In this time of general distress, when
the scarcity of money and the want OF a
market for our produce render our si.a-
alton peculiarly gloomy, is it not be-
coming the people Of tho state to use all
their influence in bringing about some
mode Of relief! ~ Ii.
Many have obtained relief by loans
from the State Bank but this, at best,
is but temporary. The money thus OBJ
tanned must be repaid. How many, a,
the present moment, have it in their
power TO raise the amount which they
have borrowed? What prospect have
they, that times will change, and that mo-
ney will be more easily obtained /? They
have none. Many have taken the long
stay upon their lands, and the same men
have obtained loans from tho State Bank.
At the end OF eight years, the specie
mnst be raised,, or their lands forfeited.
At that lime no state paper can be OBJ
obtained; the whole will have been, pre-
viously, returned TO the bank, and the
remainder of the loans also must be paid
in specie. Where is all this specie to
be obtained? We cannot sell our sur
plus produce. Emigration is, in great
degree, stopped; no money, of course,
can be derived from this source, Tie
