At the Court of Sessions for January
term, held at Charleston, S. C. two lit
tie boys both under nine years of age,
were tried for drowning a little negro
slave, of about the same age. The evil
dence, against them consisted wholly of
their confessions, and it was proved
that these were chiefly obtained under
the promise that no harm should hap
pen to them. The defence rested upon
this fact, and upon the legal incompe-
tence of the prisoners, to be guilty of
the crime of murder, from their appa-
rent want of age and understanding.
The Jury sustained the defence, and ac-
quilted the prisoners.

THE CAUCUS.

The long-agitated and much. talked-of eau
Gus, which was to concentrate public opinion
and to heal the existing divisions, which, il
was boosted, was to consist of one hundred
and twenty representatives, or upwards, "the
bone and muscle Of the republican party" and
at which it was variously stated from 80 to
99} @ would nominate the genuine Repub-
hcan Candidate, has beeniheld, but "what a
falling off was there, my Countrymen.' At,
or near the hour appointed for the meeting,
&C out of 261 members Of Congress appeared,
when the representatives were called by states !;
but they might as well have SCALED Spirits
from the vastly Deep" they would not 'come
for calling" SIXTY SIX and no more, consti-
tuted this self created body of dictators, which
has been aptly called the RUMP CAUCUS &
which has undertaken 10 force upon the peo-
pie, a President, to which not only they, but
near three quarters of their representatives in
Congress are radically opposed.

ceeded to ballot for candidates for President
and Vice President, which resulted as follows.

Whereupon VIM. H. Crawford and Albert
Gallatin were declared candidates for the
Offices of President and Vice President of the
United States and committee was appoint
ed to inform them of their nomination and TO
prepare an address to the people of the I'm
ion on the subject.
Thus has ended this ridiculous farce, about
which so much noise has been made. The
result is complete failure, for, although eve
ry man, who could be got, was mustered, the
whole number was too insignificant to COM
mand respect, and it is believed it will tend
to promote union among the friends of the
other Candidates.

But, 10 the duties Oh iron and hemp. should
be added those paid copper, whenever that
article is used. BY the statement which fur
nished the other day, it appeared that the duties
received ty government, on articles used in the
construction of vessel of $50 tons, with COP
pcrftsienngs, amounted 10 SlO56. With the
approximations of this Bill, they would be equal
to S1400. Now, | cannot but fatter myself
Mr.. Chairman, that before the committee will
consent TO this new burtben upon the shipping
interest it will very deliberately weigh the pro-
bablc consequences i would again urgently
solicit its attention to the condition of that i'm
tcrest. We are told that Government has pro-
tected it, by discriminating duties, and by an
exclusive right to the coasting trade. But il
would retain the coasting trade by its own ma
tural efforts, in like manner, and with more GER
tainty, than it now retains any portion of for
eign trade. The discriminating duties are now
abolished, and while they existed they were no.
thing more than counteryailing measures; not so
much designed TO give our navigation an advan-
tage over that of other nations, as to put it upon
an equality; and we have, accordingly, abolish
cd ours, when they have been willing to abolish
theirs. Look TO the rate of freights. Were
they ever lower, or even SO low? 1 ask gentle
men who know, whether the harbor of Charles
ton, and the river OF Savannah, be moi crosy dcd
with ships seeking employment, and finding
none ? would ask the gentlemen from y cw
Orleans, if their magnificent Mississippi do not
exhibit, for furlongs, forest of masts? The
condition, sir, of the shipping interest is not That
Of those who arc insisting on high profits or
struggling for monopoly; but it is the condition
of men content with the smallest earnings, and
anxious for their bread. The freight of cotton
has formerly been three pence sterling, from
Charleston TO Liverpool, in time ofpcaco. 1t is
now know not what, or how many fractions
Of penny; think, however it is stated at five
cighths. Tie producers, then, ofthis great sta
pie, arc able, by means Of this navigation, &c
send it, for cent pound, from their own doors
TO the best market in the world.
| MIR. Chairman, will now only remind the
committee that, while we are proposing to add
new burtheus TO the shipping interest, a very
different line Of policy is followed by our great
commercial and maritime rival. 1t seems TO be
announced rs the sentiment Of the Government
Of England, and undoubtedly II is lis real scnii-

=" The present equablc diffusion of moderate
wealth cannot be better illustrated, than By re-
marking that in this age many palaces and superb
mansions Save been pulled down, or converted to
other purposes while none have been erected on a
like scale. The rumberlcss baronial castles and
mansions, in all parts of England, now in ruins,
may all be alduced as examples of the decrease Of
inordinate wealth. On the other hand, the multi
pcation Of comno1ious dwelling, for the upper and

forts Of ali ranks exhibit a picture of individual
happiness, unknown H. any other age."--Sjr g.
