Of Calcutta, Just beyond the limits to which
the authority of the supreme court extends,

A. NJ. on the appointed day. The place
selected was quite a sequestered spot, of no
very considerable dimensions, and sur.

where it was bounded by the Gauges.

his male relations. At the distance ola few

.casionally conversed through the Venetian
windows of the vehicle. On inquiry, |

timely discovery the bridge would probaIv

The fire tits supposed was communicated bv
lighted segar, thrown upon the floor by
some needless passenger. Such an act Of
carelessness ought not to pass without the
severest Observation-Disclosures.
We are informed that gentleman left
this town on Sunday morning last, and pro-
ceeded to New York by way of Providence,
transacted business in -New-York, and pro-
ceeded to Philadelphia, accomplished the
object of his journey at that city, returned
to this city, taking the steamboat Chancel-
lor Livingston at New-York, and arrived
here at one o'clock ON Wednesday, having
been absent only three days and eight hours.
The distance between Boston and Philadel-

ges Of eytravagance.--Much was said in the Senate
by Messrs. White, Rowan, Chandler, and others OF
the enormous misapplicaton fthe contingent funds
in iii several departments
Such having been the case; and the truth having
been often disguised as well as falshoods of, the
most deliberate knd fabricated, it is as well to let
these worthless knew the truth OF the matter We
therefore give the following real statement of facts
The appropriations for one year Of Mr..
Monroe's administration, for contingent
expenses in the several departments of the
government, Army, Navy, Treasury, and
Foreiga intercourse were S4s3,65o
The appropriations for the contingent
expenses of the same Departments the pre-
sent year, are only $4,000
The whole amount of Treasury estimates
during Mr.. Monroe's Administration was 3.775,S60
Making an annual average of l0,472, 265
The total amount of Treasury estimates
during the three years Of Mr.. Adams adj
mnstratioD, was 28,31 500
Making an annual average Of only 9,47O,5 500
Which is less in the Administration Of Mr.. Adams
than in that of Mr. Monroe, by annual average Of
One million one thousand seven hundred and ninety

SOUTHERN MOVEMENTS.

Hostile meetings continue in South Carolina and
Georgia. We see in the Savannah and Charleston
papers by the last mail. the proceedings Of eight or
zen such meetings. The Georgian says,
Strong manifestations of hostilities to the Tariff
and even of disposition actively to resist, exhibit
themselves at almost every intermediate step from
the Congaree to the banks Of the Chattahochee, in

An address, said to have been delivered by a
major Alexander Garden. at meeting at Mpntlcel-
10, contains the following passage =
. Argument no longer avals it is altogether out
of the question. If TRUTH too plain to admit OF de-
NAL, could have influenced, the manly eloquence of
Hamilton, and of Drayton-the close and .persua
sive reasoning of Hayne--the admirable speeches of
Smith, Martin, Mitchell, and M'Dulhe--the pathet
ic warnings of the venerable Macon--thr powerful
haraneues of Berren, and Ta1eweli, could not have
failed 10 carry conviction to every heart. But, OBJ
stinately adhering to system previously determn-
ed upon, the majority deaf to the vuice of truth

the sr and fundamental principles OF our democratic m
stuton it matters not, Gas regards the clam to pophla
fyolr} how the majority OF the States IN their electoral
COLLEGES WERE as between the two present Candidates.
Mr. Adams had greater number OF POPULAR notes. Inc
mode of electors is the way devised by the trainers OF te
Constitution to get most conveniently at the puphc VIII,
very imperfect plan, in that respect to be sure pc
cause man might cave majority Of electors, and yet not
have majority of POPULAR uotes suppose tor instance
there are two candidates. to "a States with votaoe P
puaton of 000O0 PERSONS and each State having one ell

will give him ten electoral votes In each OF the IA re-
naming States the opposing candidate, has bare majority
vet he will get ID electoral votes. Now in such case the
party who fails might have much the greater number OF
popular votes. The successful person would be Legally
and fairly elected according to the constitution, though
contrary to the spirit of our democracy There are neon

New England States, between Mr.. Adams and Genera
jackson, MIR. Adams had almost the entire suffrage Ut the
peope in the other States the votes were much dvldet
and although General Jackson had critics to obtain the
eectols vet he had such ortes, would counter

From the National Mteligencer.

We sincerely regret to perceive that the absurd
and parricida doctrines of Colleton find advocates
in the State Of Georgia. and at the seat of govern
ment of that State. The following sentence, taken
from an essay in the Medgevie journal, is COM
pendulum of all the arguments against duties on i'm
ports, which nave been cheerfully paid from 1889
until the last year or two, when some sophst, more
sophstical than any other, has discovered such du-
ties to be unconstitutional
''We begin, then, with the assertion in the broad
est possible terms. of the doctrine, which we hold
TO be ncon,rovertible that congress has no power
whatever-no, not even the shadow of shade of
power-under the Constitution, to pass laws laying
prohbitory duties on foreign articles thereby, either
to encourage or protect domestic manufae lures"
We answer this beginning by quoting the Pream-
BILE Of the first Revenue Law passed by the Fathers
and contemporaries Of the Constitution, who GER
