should join in the inccndiary attack upon The
Union BY approving the course OF Mr. Adams.

Southern interests, and wholly Indifferent 10 the

be made the egis TO cover treason. civil war. and
every project devised By The unp.inciped and dis

brought before Congress for Legislative action.
1t is but short lime since it was thought crinli-
nal even 10 calculate It's value And what has
s5rough, it up now Not any oppression-1ot
any refusal from any portion OF the commonwealth
to bear the public burthens-not any hostile act
from any state toward any otherstate No. ills
from bitter, rancorous. personal animosity-the re-
sentiment and malice of vindictive passion. The
petition is itself treason. and the presentation o; it
is treason.
Mus, every paper, Of whatever character, il it is
in the form Of petition, be presented TO Con-
crcss - IS there no discretion or common sense
to be used by those through whom they are at
tempted to be sent, If a company OF persons
should sign petition desiring Congress TO order
the Capitol to be burned, President Tyler hung TO
the nearest, alnp-post. and the Inhabitants of
Washington nassacrcd, would Mr.. Adam, pre-
sent it for the sake of the right of petition!
Would he not reject it atrocious insult to
himself and the Legislature > This but prciglrcs

citizen, are 10 BE- sacrificed, bat whole nation !
Not one city ruined, but revolution agitatcd, and
eighteen millions of people plunged into the hor-

excuse of designing to protest aCainst It:
nor would hc avow as the reason for his intended

work Oh :. can such things be, and not excite
our special horror! How scared must the hcurt
and conscience be, which can think coolly of de-
molishing tllt beautiful fabric of government, won
so lately amidst tho scvcrest Suiierings and priva-
tons, bv our fathers and friends and consolidated
by a council unparalleled in the history OF the
world for probity and wisdom. How srblimely
and successfully operated, dispensing prosperity
to the whole country. and shedding benign lnti'l-
ences over the whole world
The mover Of this agitation, rs well as myself,
has lived over a long period of the past, and Gun
doubtless remember, as distinctly do the JOY with
which the organization of this government was wcl-
coined by the people, and the rich harvests OF
prosperity which Immediately followed.
Mr.. Adams has been .ne continuous corrusca-
ton ever since his appearance in public htc-but
the blaze has been mingled with mrid light.
He has been bacful meteor to this happy country.
His obliquitics mershulled his friends on the side
Of his opposers, aud resulted in the ascendcncy OF
Gen Jackson. Blu; vet there space and
verge enough" for the aged statesman to have ex-
altcd his fame rs he finished his career, by apply
ing his acknowledged talents, his great learning,
and uncommon experience, TO assliasc the g1lctS
of the discontcnted, and allav the tempest OF SLc-
tion.
Strange and criminal is the c,ursc he has cho-
sen. Unlike the great Father of our country, who
Union, prayed for its perpetuity, and urged the
people never to lose 81 ght Of It's value, Slr. Adams
hurls the fre-br,uds of discord and deliberately

Monl @FISAScIEKlSG.-On Darwin Gibson,
said 10 be an cx-hankcr from Georgia, has been
arrested at NewOrcans, on 4 charge OF obtaining
money by false =pretences. The Picayune g1ves
the following account of his operations:
II appears he negotiated with BcnoiSt & Hack
n,.v. brokers two certificates of deposit on the
Bank Of Troy, Ncw-iork. for which they paid him
1920. He offered for negotiation (and sue
cccded. we believe. in passing of some OF thcm,) J
similar certificates of deposit on the Commercial
Bank of Newly ork. He sold or offered for sale,
the invoice of a cargo OF coffee, which he said he
was about TO receive from Havana, but of which
,her,, is much doubt, and purchased schooner
with the view of frcigAting her with flour for ia
nlaicu One of the certificates for $1,000 on the
Ncw-York bank, however, which he offered tpr
sale, was pronounced mot genuine . by one
thought to be competent Judge and this it was
that led Bcnoist & Hackney to adopt the course
thew have taken.
The parties in Nvw-iur and in Troy have been
written TO concerning the matter, and till they
shall be heard from, the question OF the certificates
being not being torsercs cannot be conclusivcly
solved.
