Pro-di gi-ous !"-Governor TAYLOR, in his
Message to the Legislature Of South Carolina, on
the Goth ult, speaks Of the late Harrisburg Conven-
ton Of Manufacturers. as Confederation whose
avowed design is to control Congress in its legisa
ton. and SAYS that Is if Congress permits itself to
be thus die aed to, there will be an end of all their
legislation the Constitution will be virtually re-
pealcd. and the mob law must become the law of
the land" lie breaches up most furiously, the
doctrine Of the South against manufactures, denies
the right Of manufacturers or their friends to call
snch assemblies as that at Harrisburg, considers
such meetings conspiraces but SAYS that If the
friends Of the American System will stay at home
and sign their petitions, they may "fN reams Of

This U1ickel .administration.-Tt is rumored
here (and we expect Harker will try to make his
readers believe it, that the Administration hired
black man TO pile the heap of stones in this Bo-
rough over which Mr. Van Buren's carriage was
well nigh upsetting on Thursday last, and that
their wicked object was to break that gentleman's
neck; deplorahIe catastrophe which fortunately
did not occur. How long will the people suffer
the public money to be appropriated to such pur-
poses ? We entirely agree with the opinion Of the
Richmond Enquirer that the Constitution gives no
power epxress or implied, either to Congress or
the Administration. to break the necks of Opposi
ton Senators in that manner; and that the as
sumption of such power is giving a j" latitudnous
construction" to, and is IS an extravagant encroach
ment'' on, that sacred instrument, at which the
people ought to be " astonshed and startled"

Tmrostors. MANY Of our readers no doubt reco-
lect all account published in the Waterman last
summer, of three men who arrived at Boston and
stated that they had Just made their escape from a
long captivity among the Flat Head Indians, u-
ring which they ha suffered. as they stated the
most unheard OF cruelties and the most shocking
muilations. Their story doubted from the first,
by many, and was shortly afterwards contratllcted
in the newspapers, and we heard no more Of these
whilom captives, until last Friday when we Oh,
served notice in Philadel pha paper stating thai
few days previous. one of them named William
Gregory, who had represented himself as by fa'
the most severe sufferer. had arrived in that city
lie was suspected, and sent for by the Mayor WI
had him publicly examined in open Office b a
surgeon, who removed his baulases and clothing,
and found tile whole story of his injuries to be a
fabrication and the man a most arrant lmDostor.
He was sent to the work house for thirty days. and
thus his intended begging operations and impos-
ton on the charitable Of that city, was happily
prevented.
