CARRYING THE MAIL ON SUNDAY.-The
public mind is again to be agitated by the cir
~culation of remonstrances against the carrying
Of the Mail on Sunday. This is useless the
pious people who wish to effect this object
cannot expect to DO successful. The people
would never submit to such an Infringement of
their rights. The commercial community
would rise in a body and protest against a re-
solution which could have no good effect what
ever, and would be absolutely injurious 10
their intcrcsts-which would have no other
tendency than to agitate the public mind for
a few months, If carried into effect, when the
regulation would be repealed, even at the
request Of those who advocated it. Attempts
have been made to effect the same object in
England. but always without success. The
people are too generally interested, and their
feelings TOO nearly connected with the arrival
and departure of the mails, to seriously wish
that such a regulation should 90 into effect.

CITY CHARrER.-The subject of adopting
a city form Of government for this town, it
should be recollccted by our citizens, is to DO
called up al the next April Town Meeting
We hope the merits Of the question will be
thoroughly discussed before that time, and tho
subject finally disposed Of. We arc willing to
open our columns to those who feel disposed
TO canvass the merits Of the proposed change.
The subject is important to the present as we'll
as the rising generation. That some change
is necessary in our municipal form Of govern
msnt. no one 10 prepared to deny what that
change shall be, is soon to be decided by the
Freemen.

Georgia against the Tariff, demanding a re-

SHAVING NorEs.-This is an interesting
subject 10 our citizens at the present moment.
Many a man who never probably asked a ia
vor, in his life, as regards money, has within
the last six months been shaved. There ap-
pears to be with many an idea that a man
who shaves a note for more than six per cent,
is worse than a thief. But the question is with
a man, who is pushed for money and has good
interest for a short period, or ruin his credit
by falling to pay his notes. No man is CON-
polled to be shaved, but no doubt many are
who do not wish it. 1t is optional with indi-
viduals themselves. A contemporary in a
noighboring city in speaking on this subject
remnrks: if the subject were canddly and
fairly considered, it would be acknowledged.
that he who trades in cash, who sells money.
has as much right TO realize a profit in his bu-
%siness. as he who sells dry goods or groceries;
and that he who has money to dispose Of, has
as much right to demand a high price for it,
in the shape Of interest, as the former has to
demand a double price for his eorn, in 4 sea-
son Of scarcity. But whom the majority ofthe
people, as 10 generally the case, come to be
borrowers Of money, when it becomes scarce,
and the holders ask a high premium on the
loan Of it. then q clamor 10 raised against them
they are called usurers. and those who have
had to borrow at high premiums, make lawsto
tax the lenders, by way Of punishment, for their
cxhorbiiancs. But they fall entirely Of their
object, and the whole burden Of their tar rests
on themselves. Because, were there no ne
cessity for borrowing, the eshorbitant demands
Of ths usursr might not DO regarded they need
not be paid. But there being . necessity, the
borrower has TO pay the demanded premium,
with the tax superadded. The lender will con.
tinus to receive bis profile, or be will hold on
10 bis money.
Although there 10 . strong prejudice against
him who lends money At interest, yet, in gen.
eral, we believe IL will be found, that he who

AUCTION SYsrEM.-ln calling the atten-
ton of tho inhabitants Of Savannah TO this Sub
ject, the Savannah Mercury observes: "Al-
though this kind Of business in this place is
very trifing in amount, compared to that trans
acted in many northern cities ; yet it is fully
sufficient to interfere with the business of the
regular merchant, and TO operate very injuri-
ously on his interest. 1t presents the means TO
the speculator, Of palming off on tho commu-
nifty damaged goods, or fabrics ofinferior quail
ity, and thus proves as injurious to the planter
as 10 the merchant"

ooh! HE DOES NOT WANT IT."

But he does want il. And even if he did
not, your own engagement has nothing to do
with his private circumstances.
Such is the self-excusing of many a careless
creditor; and such the proper answer.
1t is TO be lamented that there is no charge
to which many, who may be good men, are
more subjected than the want Of punctuality
in the payment of little debts.-And there is
no plea by which conscience is more readily
satisfied, than that of the declaration that the
creditor does not need the amount. The Same
thing applies 10 a hundred little borrowings.
A book is lent; it is detained until the len

rower-but then che does not want il, he has
many others; or he has read it already.p But
he does want il. If he has others il is no rea-
son why he should lose this. If he has read
it, it is no reason why he may not lend it to
others; as we'll as TO yourself.
fl small subscription is due;-The Society
does not want 1t; the sum is SO small that il
can make no difference" But the Society
does want it. If every momber did az you do,
there would be no funds in the hands of the
Treasurer; and your neglect is dissolviDg the
Society as far as your own item of influence
goes. That inlueace goes thus far 20 discour-
age schemes of benevolence, and to destroy
public confidence. You inspired a hope which
you crushed again. ita'-
I'm editors payment is due.-"He does
not want it," But no does want il, and this
very plea of yours gives him more trouble than
all others put together.
OF a truth, there are few excuses for neg.
leet more frequently given to the remindings
Of conscience than this expression. 1t sets a.
side with the veriest sophistry, the spirit and
essence of moral obligation.

D'We have always believed, that the Tar.
III question will be the rock on which the
Jackson party will split. The Philadel-
phia Mercury, one. Of the earliest and most
Jealous supporters Of Jackson, has already
opened batteries on McDufie, Hamilton, &c.
and even goes SO far as to say that "ie the
Vice President has sanctioned their declare.
lions, it would be wrong in the friends of Gen.
Jackson not TO turn their backs on him." Ts
show the temper OF the Jackson:ans in Pensyl-
vania, as well as the utter impossibiliiy of
their remaining much longer united with those
Of South Carolina, we subjoin the following
extract from the Mercury 10
ain what respect does the sedition of South
Carolina differ from that Of Massa chusetts!
In motive, in feeling, and in all that degrades
an American, and impairs the patriotism Of
character, she is fully guilty, even till her very
lips are discoloured by the lived passions Of
unhallowed treason. And what is the agrees
sion complained of The exercise Of the con.
stItutional and long exercised power Of the
Union, to lay duties and imposts. A power
never suspected of being disputable, until the
motive to its exercise awakened local jealous
les to question its impartial justice, and excl
ted sectional passions into envy, lest ono por-
ton of the Union should enjoy q paramount
Prosperity'over the other. The littleness Of
South Carolina in this Transaction, exceeds
belief; and we are staggered by the apparent
imPossibility of the fact, that men so richly
endowed with genius, knowledge and repub-
llcanism, as a Hayne, a Hamilton, and a Nc
Duffie, can become so besotted by passion, a.
to lose the instinct Of the American. the vir-
tue Of the patriot, the attribute Of the states
man, for the vociferation Of the ~demagogue,
the virulence Of the tavern brawler, and the
vices Of the traitor"

pCaUELrY TO HoRsEs. If there ever
was a practise which was a disgrace 10 a cIvili-
zsd country il is the inhuman manner in which
that useful animal, the Horse. is treated by
some Of the teamsters in our streets. 1t is q
practice which calls for the immediate atten-
ton Of tho police Of the town. 1t is not un-
common 10 see some inhuman wretch beat
ing with savage cruelty his horse, who cannot
move a load, to which he has been attached
by his master. Such things should not be al
lowed in . civilized community. II is the du-
~ Of every COED citizen 10 complain Of such

has been the course adopted BY some gentle
men and We believe with good effect.

We do not care TO enter into the ~specul4.
tons, or 10 record the On dts respecting the
new Cabinet. We are inclined to think that
Jackson will appoint able men, and he has q
large number Of such, from which TO select
them. Me Lane Of Della ware, Berrien, Van
Buren,, Chepes, TdzeDeH, William King,
GdlIatin. BaldDfn Of Pa, and Nc Lean Of
the Post Office, are names which most readily
suggest themselves 10 an impartial mind, which
disregards the rumours. We do not believe
that Hayne, nor Hamilton, nor any other anti
tariff table orator, and Carolina conuenfionist,
has any chance TO 60 into the Cabinet, unless
il be the most moderate OIL them, Mr.. Drayton.
Mr.. Livingston is a public defauiter, besides
other objections. Mr.. Benton is sometimes
mentioned, but we do not think that he is to be-
one of the next Cabinet. He is more likely To-
be provided for abroad. Woodbury. might
stard some chance il he could be spared from
the Senate, but he cannot. Chandler (rtstml
feneatisD y is mentioned, but we think that
King is most likely TO BIO the man. II. M.
Johnston might at another time have been ad-
mit.ed by contract, but he never can be by
choice. His talents are inferior, and his pro-
LESSONS Of patriotism "oc the very first water',
do not pass for so much as they used To-. Blu
chanan has an old account open, which the
General will not ad just in season for a Cabinet
