so consulted-and no definitions were given without consulting the most approved authorities. The same is pursued in framing the penal code of Geor- gia (see Princes Dig. 345) of Connecticut and Lou isiana It is also partially pursued in the penal codes of Pennsylvania and Virginia These are the only penal codes the writer of this article has had the opportunity of examining-but it is probable that other States have pursued the same conrse is diff
 cult to see how any litigation arise the inter pretaton of the new penal code which did not exist before. But it is said to be act of snpererogaton. The people ought to know when they incur heavy penalties. The justices of the peace, sherffs and consables perform most important part in admins tering the criminal laws of the country. Who ex- cept lawyer, reads common law writer that treats ofcrimes and punshments The criminal laws of the country ought, above all other laws to be sible to the people. These and other reasons that might be mentioned were, no doubt, those which in fluenced the Legislature in passing the new penal code, as they have done. They had illustrious ex- amples before them to give sacton to such course; and it is believed that aentiee perusal of the will dissipae the fears that are entertained of it and satisfy every person of its correctness.

fl Card.--Mr McDuffee was right in SUD- posing that had no unfriendly feeling in the publication to which he refers. Indeed, could have none, his ccurtesies to me have been such as to inspire a very different sen timent. We go together on some subjects con- nccted with tha broad construction doctrines, and only regret that weNpart on the Bank question: But, upon this subject, have ever felt peculiar solicitude, and am free to con- less that shall never cease to exercise that highly valued right, secured to me in common with every citizen, freely to express my opin- ions concerning 1t, & to employ every fail-wea- pon tending to its complete demolition. To this end did believe, that the information had received, though anonymous, might be laid before the public, for what it was worth.- Ard, in so doing, did consider it fair and equal venture-lf true, had an undoubted right to all its advantage. false, flat de- nlal from such high standing as that occu- pied by MT McDuffie would, as it has done, put the matter to rest, and place him and his cause upon better ground. Besides, it would afford him an opportunity of stopping the cir culation of report which, he must believe, he would have to meet; for, fit could come to me in an anonymous shape, itwould go, if it had not already gone, in that, CT some other way, to thousand others, and would, at last be found in every mouth.
 Anonymous information, in political matters IS not always to be despised. History is full ot instructive lessons to the contrary. Apart from the memorable instance in our own an- nals, with which know Mir McDuffie is ia miliar, would beg to call his attention to the celebrated case found at the 63d page of Hume's 5th volume of England. Placing Congress in the same situation, what would he have thought, if he had received such letter as Mat, and for fear of it's being con- sdered an ''equivocal endorsement, or thro' cold and calculating dread-f, indeed, there really were any necessity for dread--of pro- secution for libel, had kept it to myselfo- Could it be justified? Now, dreadful as was the design of that case, in my opinion, it forms no comparison, in reference to consequences, with the one communicated to me, provided it had proved equally true. That in it's re- suit, was confined to a huctuating religious impulse, and would, perhaps, have ended with the HUes of few Individuals, in a gov elnment where the people were easily satis- fled with any master. This might have stretched it's cancerous flores throughout our whole political institutions, and terminated the liberties ofa country. where free princi- pies have made the last best stand known to the world.
 At all events, Mir McDuffie can have no just ground of complaint. The matter has ended to his own advantage, and what is bet ter, to the prompt vindication of the charac- ter of the government.

Mir CRAWFORD.-The correspondent of the Charleston Courier, writes as follows from Washington City, on the 19th ut.
 'I am told that it is the intention of the friends of Gen. JACKSON, in case he should be a candidate for reelection, to place MT CRAWFORD on his ticket, as Vice-President. This is generally believed to be fact"
 We are glad this determination has been taken, on many accounts; but chiefly on ac- count of the additional triumph it gives, to principles cnce contemptuously stiled Radi- cal.
 That Gen. Jackson will be a candidate, is, we presume, dependent only on his being in life, at the time of the election. That he will be reelected, there can be no doubt.
 Since we wrote what precedes, we have seen an article in the 'sWashngton Globe, |" which concludes thus. Speaking of MT Nc Duffie's amendment to the Constitution of the United States, that paper says:
 "The proposed amendment will not, and ought not, to influence the public course of the President, until it becomes part of the Constitution. MT Jefferson was opposed to the re-eligibility of the Chief Magistrate, and yet consented himself to a reelection. Un- der the usage to which the nation has given it's sanction, to decline a reelection, when the AoiistItullOn IelllaliS as IL IS, WCulO, on the part Of the present incumbent, be voluntary disgrace.
 Nopresidcnt, from Washinton down to the last Adams, has ever refused to subject his administration to the scrutiny of canvass be- fore the people, and himself to the ordeal of second election. And shall Jackson retreat under fire of. the enemya Shall he retire, driven by the assaults of a vindctive opposi- tion? Shall he allow the cloud of calumnies, raised by an embittered aristocracy, to rest upon his reputation and obscure hls fame9- Should he decline the invitation of many States and deny to the union the opportunity of passing upon his public conducte If all such personal considerations were disregard ed, could he withhold his services from his country, ifdemanded, at this moment of per- Til, when every patriot feels solicitudc for the result of the political agitatons in this, as well as in foreign landss He could not, with out dishonor.
 Under such circumstances, rue may 6e fer- mHted 70 say, that # should De the 4viH cf the mutton 10 caH on the President to serOe q second term inthe Chief 41agistracy, he zpiH not decline the sumnons.

The largest piece of malleabe iron ever made in this country, has just been forged at the Cramond Iron Works. It is 22t feet long, 12 inches square in the centre, and weighs about 8 tons. It is intended for the axle of water wheel. A cast iron one of equal strength would have weighed six tons; there is consequently, great saving of fric- tion in favor of the malleable shaft, besides costing less money, and being much more du- -Edinburgh hafer.

The new counterfeit of S10o notes of the Unit ed States Bank, are so well done, that one of the brokers in Wall street, after hay ing made a remittance in U. s. bills, which he had collected from several banks in the city, had the modification to receive back two of these notes, and to lose the amount, as it was impossible for him to determine from which bank they came.e

Remarka6le change inthe Channel of the lHiSSissihhi!-By the steamer Brandywine, arrived yesterday, we have the confirmation of long expected cut off in this river. At the well known curve opposite the mouth of Red River, the carrent burst accross the neck Of land, by the aid of Capt. Shrieve, and has made channel four hundred yards wide, and about tour fathoms deep already. Flat boats and rafts have descended through it with tre. mendous svelocty-and the Brandywine would have done the same, but for business on the other route. The distance between this and Natchez is thus shortened about thirty miles by one small cut-off-and should the same thing occur at the Tunica Bend, (which is ex- tremely probable the distance will be les sened enc hundred miles!
 We learn by the Brandywine, that the Ohio IS frozen as low down as the Cumberland, from whence she came.--N1ercantile Adu.
