leans; and on motion of the same gentleman
Martin Gordon, Esq. unanimously called TO the
Chair.
Denis Prieur, Recorder of the CITY of New
Orleans, was unanimously elected Secretary.

The citizens OF New Orleans being advised ,b,,
General Andrew Jackson has accepted the invita-.
ton Of the State of Louisiana 10 unite in the cee
bration of the 18th Anniversary of the " Battle of

ne Woollen Bill. would probably have given rise
20 a.sys,em OF smuggling In this manner our
snue might have suffered, and the morals CT our
people nigh, have been corrupted.
Frauds of another description must have sprung
from this Bill. A square yard of cloh costing 40
cents, would have paid duty of only IA cents and
2 whilst If il had cost IL cents, il would have
paid duty Of SO cents. So a equare yard which
cost 81 80, would have paid only 80 cents, whilst
il il had cost 81 81, il would have paid duty of
81 cents and 2-3. Oae cent of differ in value
a, the minimums would have made AN enormous in
crease OF duty. The temptation TO commit fraud
upon the revenue, by perjury, would thus hav be en-
vefy great. No man ever would, II he could voic
it. have imported woollen goods into this country
which should be valued at price little above any
Ot The miDimUms. Every effort which self inter
could command, would have been used TO reduce
their value TO the minimum price beov IL. a
difference OF one cent in the price, might make a
difference of 40 cents in the duty Thus perjury
and rand must have been the natural growth of the
lfoolieu Bill. III there had been but minimum,
az IL the case with re-rect 10 cottons. no such
temptation coul ever exist. The minimum OF so
cents is the STANDARD of value for the square yard of
all cotton goods hich cost less than that price;
when you get above il. the duty rises gradually in
proportion TO the value of the article. You do not
al once leap TO second, to third, and to fourth

Such, my fellow citizens, was the bill, agans
ell are its provisions, that never heard member
OF Congress express entire satisfaction with its de-
tails. Indeed, many doubted whether after the end

lIL IhEi.Ss7.
Newspapers have their distinguishing traits as
well as men. We become accustomed To-
their society," and know their vocabulary and man
ners. On entering reading room we recognize
an old acquaintance in each Of the broad pages thai
seem eagerly to solicit our company Tor ete tste
about their own political views aud grievances.
The subject Of intelligence being known, we can
tell beforehand the peculiar version OF the story to
lie found in the columns Of each. IT, for example,
any accident were to befal General Jackson, say
Ithe fracture of his leg it is very easy TO imagine
the separate accounts which each Of our prominent
Gazettcs would give Of the transaction, which
say would be something like the followins:--
(Tae National Intslisencer.J
We are concerned to learn by this days South
ern Mail, that General Jackson has had his lee
fractured BIZ fall from his horse. 1t is stated,
however that the accident is not as serious as was
apprehended, the fracture being Of the description
least likely to be Of serious continuance.
CThe Islesraph.)
We stop the press to announce to the public one
of the most daboical transactions that ever dis
eraced the annals Of a free people On the day-oi
the election at Nashville, as General Jackson was
riding through the street his way to the polls,
accompanied BY Judge Oyerton, boy suddenly
sprn.ing out Of an alley, flied a sqab III the
face ii his horse. The animal suddenly wheeled
and threw the General on the sill Of door, and
untol tunately broke hi, right leg, just below the
knee. Now, we are informed By letter from
one of the most respectable gentlemen in the South
that this boy is the sunnf a man whose brother re
ceyed AIN appointment very recently IRON John Y.
Adams This letter, we regret. has been inl>al.l,
but we are fully aware Of all the facts connected
with this disgracetui transaction, and III due time
will law them before our readers. For tie present
we deem it sufficient to state, that man was seen
taking his seat in the stage at Nashville, who al
forwards arrived in this city, and has since been
observed in the open day; going into the office Of
tic Secretary Of State. These facts speak i"'
themselves; and thus it is, that the money d the
people is employed by John .. Adams aaI Henry
