,.,one afavourite with the officers and sea-

~ ,sed difficulty with the marine corps.which
.. ;os,iga,ion Gifts Colonel, jealous ola for

however, Immediately arrested him, con-
w The other of the officers in the Castle OF
~, and sent the private marines TO the ISL
e sacri6cios, supplying their places with
disciplined soldiers Of the garrison. The
,',;can government, and the authorities and
"a &c Vera Cruz gave their warmest sup
r md commendation to this prompt and eff
I'm, assertion of discipline.

ION called for, and we trus. they viii have

r.,n Baltimore, we hear that the General
...hlv of the Manumission Societies was ac-
'n, held in that city last week, though the pa
' s of that city prudeutially have been wholly
a., on the subject. We do not learn that any
',oceedings took place calculated to give unea-
...s ,o,those with whose concerns Societies
= his description interfere unwarrantably,
..,, thew interfere at all. There was. good
SIofdiscussion, with open doors, which rather
s,d tendency, as we learn, to weaken the
h;ms of the Assembly TO the title of"Congress
4 yisionaries," which we thought not inaptly
,,p6sd 10 them, when their convention was
10 announced. A proposition to approve OF
Il. seheme of the African Colonization Society
COS voted down. The most decisive measure
,suniue from the meeting, seems to have been
recommendation to petition Congress TO ap-
,ropriale money for transporting abroad such
hives as NAV from time TO time be manumit-
"a This Recommendation proposes nothing
contrary to the Constitution, or hostile to the
interests of the South; and we are glad to learn
,ba, a majority Of the General Assembly had
10 worse projects in view.
Frow every thing that falls under our obser-
nlon It's obvious, whatever few fanatical
rerMns may propose TO themselves, that no re-
sotable portion Of our fellow citizens Of the
East have the slightest intention to act upon, or
Inference 10, this subject, in any manner con-
uary 10 the known views or wishes of the
South. This being the case, we hope we shall
never hear Of another Convention of this sort:
for, however it may propose to limit It's opera
ions, The actual effect OF every such an assem-
W is, from Misrepresentation Of the scope OF
is aim, TO alarm the proprietors, and to unset
lie the foundations Of the public peace, in por-
lion Of on. country. In mere friendship to the
slave, Unreal humanityio their fellow man, these
Associations, and the individuals composing
them, ought to forbear: for it is proposition
as demonstrabe as any to be found in Euclid,
hat rigor Of treatment and severity of disci
yDe must be increased by insecurity of tenure
arelaxation of subordination, which are the
wessary consequences of the agitation produ-
ed by these convocations.
The Kentucky Commentator says that the
Honorable Charles w. Byrd, Judge of the u
States District Court in Ohio, has joined the
Society Of SHAKERS residing in Mercer county,
Gnlucky. This is certainly remarkable con-
lasion, but can be accounted for by supposing
Ashis Honor was once General Jackson-aan,
and eing now convinced of his folly, is dispos-
edo put himself out of the way of further
temptation.
The Cincinnati Gazette announces the signal
defeat Of the General Jackson party in Ohio,
and then sarcastically remarks--"lt is aston
l'hng how rapidly the State OF Ohio is going
'0rJackson.! Perhaps if the General had writ
zen letter to his friends in Ohio, similar to
the one he wrote to his friends in Kentucky,
ne election would have been otherwise. There
seems TO be "a great deal Of "rnanGgemsntl'--
''sas principles are supplanted" The people
aa'ebecome "intriguers," and draw their "means
bargain and sal" no doubt, from the "patron-
%Of the Government!''
'5ppropos.--What has become of the Gene
'lsetler! For so patriotic an epistle, it seems
have passed away rather silently. We ex-
Fc'ec ere this to have seen volume of COM
l'A'ares upon it. Verify, the Jackson Edi-
us are fain:-hearted.'
