Showneetown May z.
Last Saturday, about noon, the Mis-
sion Boats for the Great Usage arrived
at this place, where they stayed over the
Sabbath. One of the sisters on board
was very sick. She was removed to a
place on shore for her accommodation.
But it ayailed nothing--she died the fol-
lowing morning, about O'Clock. Her
funeral was attended by large con-
course of people, when a sermon was
preached from the words Blessed are
the dead who die in the Lord"-apd it is
hoped that an impression has been left
on the mind of the people not soon to be
forgotten. The Sabbath preceding Mrs.
Newton was delivered of an healthy
daughter and was herself uncommonly
comfortable, SO as hardly to realize the
necessity of care and caution in her case
until Thursday when, having become
more unwell,' she. fell into sleeping
state, from which, after several hours,
she was with great difficulty aroused.
When sire fell into this state she thought
herself dying, and, unknown to us, un-
derstood much that was said, though she
appeared to be asleep and could not
speak. When she was aroused she in
sisted upon it that she should soon die,
aid that little season was only given
her to converse with her friends. This
she improved in the most composed and
cheerful manner, so long as her strength
and reason continued leaving to us a
demonstration of the fact that g Jesus
can make dying bed feel soft as tlowny
pillows are" Her anxiety, if any she
had seemed only to be that all should be
prepared to die. She had no anxiety
about herself. The babe died on Thurs
day night, and was buried on Friday, at
Mount Vernon, Qndiana) when the fa-
mily, at the requestof sister Newton, kept
a day of fasting and prayer. On Thurs
day also zone of the boatmen, John d.
Patterson, fell overheard while the boat
was running before the wind and was un-
fortunately drownded.

A vast number of adventures are
bound to Florida, to make ortry to make
their fortunes. Pensacola, it is suppos-
ed, will become the most important bar
bour on the coast, both for the sale and
shipment of American produce. 1t is
more convenient than New Orleans for a

We have given the result of the re-
turns of votes from 40 towns, from which
some inference may be made of the pro-
bable adoption or rejection of the pro-
posed amendments. We give as a hasty
opinion that the 5th Art. which provides
Tor the apportionment of Senators, the
AMMUNITION of representatives, and the
payment Of the whole from the public
treasury and also the 10th Art. relating
to Harvard College, will be rejected, and

To prevent misrepresentation, and
stop those who are at all times disposed
to censure, without knowing or caring
whether there is any ground for their
malignant aspersions, it may be neces-
Tsary to state, that the attorney for the
commonwealth, refused to file the quo
qrarTanto, for three reasons, with which
he furnished the informer.
l.-Because he did not believe such
a proceeding could be sustained at COM
mon law, to question the constitutional
existence of a corporation.
2.-Because he did not believe that
the act of incorporation was unconstitu-
tonal--and of consequence there was no
obligation upon him to proceed against
the president and directors of the Bank.
3.-If it was in violation of the Fede-
raj constitution, the most proper tribunal
would be the United States court, fer the
district of Kentucky--and if the appoint
ment of the officers was violation ofthe
state constitution, the question could be
tried in the judicial district in which the
informer resides, should such proceed
ing be deemed practicable in our courts.
There could be, therefore, no obligation
upon him either official or moral, to pro-
coed against officers as unlicensed usurji-
ers, by criminal information, TO CRAFTY
the visionary and Quixotick, notions of
any man. Such is the state of public
feeling and private emergency, that ifthis
Bank does not shortly so into operation,
either the civil authority will be resisted,
or an immediate call upon the Execu-
tive from every part of the state to con-
vene the Legislature-for if ever there
was time in the commercial or fiscal
history of a country when the Legislature
ought to interfere between debtor and
creditor, the present crisis loudly de-
mands it. Commentator.

Grand Lodge formed in St. Louis. 1t

Territorial Governor Of Florida.


The editor of the Charleston City
Gazette applauds in glowing language,
the selection OF general JACKSON, ctr
second Washington," TO this office, for
which he seems filter than any other " ho
could have been chosen. In military
talents, in truth. we believe him not Sc
cond, but superior to Washington; for,
without previous experience, he per-
formed more brilliant exp lofts, and co,n4
mitted fewer errors than did the sage
Washington, with some considerable al
tainmentsi in military science; lie. at tho
commencement of the war.
Washington Gaz.
J" His Jackson's name is perfectly
familiar to them ); and avery long time
must elapse, before they lose the reco:-
lection OF his actions.--Indeed, the vcyy
name of Jackson, among these warriors,
is equal, if not greater, in point of alarm
to that excited by an army, conducted by
any other commander. Let it be re-
membered, also, that the citizens of
newly coded Territory, do not suddenly,
and easily, shake off their old habits and
mode of government, and readily en-
brace that Of their new rulers. That
.discontents, and partial disturbances, win
take place under the government oE
jackson, may be perhaps, what was to
have been expected under this new or
der of things; but who is SO well quaI;-
fed as he, from the frmness, energy,
and decision of his character, to stiflc
rising discord, and nip rebellion in the
very germe? Added to this, he is law
yer of eminence, and a statesman; and
in this respect. eminently qualified to adj
minister correctly, any territorial cons,s-
tuition, or form of government, which
may be prescribed for Florida-and last.
~, he is intimately acquainted with tho
geography Of the country; and the Gus.
toms, manners, pursuits; and moral ha-
bits of the inhabitants. These are the
uncommon advantages which general
Jackson has over any other of our fellow
citizens; and we repeat, that indepen.
dent of great extrinsic merit, these cir
cumstances alone are sufficient to mako
him the most fit and proper magislra.v
that could have been selected.

To see a nation like this with the riehs

To see nation like this with the rieh~
est soil in the universe-with all the vac
rious climates in the known world--with Z
advantages that no other nation possess
es--with government ofour own choice
yet to see such nation visited by ma.
tional bankruptcy in time oil profound
peace, is well calculated to bring on Sc
rious reflection, and to urge serious In
uuiry into the cause of this national ruin.
It must proceed from some great pa
tional error. il must result from an err
roi' in Recommendation absolute want
of capacity to govern the nation, or TO
provide for the general welfare. There
Is no want Of industry among the agri-
cultural part of the nation; they produce
more than they can sell at home or in
foreign markets. There is no want Of
exertions and enterprise among ourcom-
mercaal citizens they have pushed their
commerce as far as they can, and have
failed. Our government has afforded
both of those classes every protection.
Then it SIS evident qoe zoant the aid Of
manufactures to make all successful and
prosperous; and if this is the fact, and
we have no doubt of it, the government,
has not given that direction to our inter-,
nal concerns, so as to promote the pros
perity of either of the three great pile
lars OF national prosperity Wfthout ma
InuJactures all must sink. To the people
we must look for reform in our poiiti-
cal economy. Let them begin with them
selves, and adopt rigid system Of domes-
tic economy; and this done, let them
choose no man to represent them in our
national councils, who is inimiccl to mq-
nnfactures. They must not choose nler-
chants to represent us, when it is known,
and has been demonstrated, that mercan-
tile cupidity is paramount interest in
their minds. Men of enlarged views, of
national feelings, of integrity and firn,-
ness, should be chosen, and none other.
When this is done the country will march
rapidly to wealth and power, and villa
fulfil all the sanguine expectations that
have been anticipated by Franklin,
Washington, and Price.
III IS ascertalned, says the Democratic
Press, that thirty-six millions of pounds
OF cane sugar, was grown in the United
States in the year l8la--l9. The duty
on imported sugar is three cents a pound.
The Louisiana sugar pays no duty. 1t
is therefore quite clear that upon this
single article, in the year alluded to,
there was bounty given to the planter
ofone milhon eighty Thousand dollars.
ct we are gravely and annually told, no
bounty should be given to encoura. 70
manufactures, because no such thing is
wanted or expected by agriculturislh.
