The President of the Georgia Convention.

The President OF the Georgia Convention.
The Hon. THOMAS SpALDING, tie only sur
viving signer of the Constitution of the State
of Georgia, was chosen President OF the late
Convention by acclamation; and, having been
conducted to the chair, made brief but APP
proprlate speech.
"He said that he grateful for the compli-
ment bestowed; and would endeavor TO perform
the arduous duties, though extreme age and feeble
health admonished him that he would need much
forbearance on the part of the Convention As the
last surviving signer of the Constitution, nc felt
that there was perhaps appropriateness in ten
deriDg him the placcit would at least be a grace
ful termination Of long life. Twenty five years
ago he had retired from the turmoil of political
life TO the quiet of his own family circle. Nothing
could have induced him to quit that retirement
but the conviction that the Union and the cause OF
republican liberty We're in danger. He spoke the
honest conviction of his heart, when he declared
that, sooner than this Union broken up and
witness the bloodshed and civil strife which would
follow, ne would prefer that he and his should per-
ish in the common ruin"

The Tarin and MIR. Clay.

We are gTatlhed la see that Mr.. CLAY has
moved in the matter of amending the tariff, and
that, too. in the spirit of compromise. In pre-
senting the memorial of Mr.. joins TIMBER
LAKE, of Virginia, ON this subject in the senate
on Monday. Mr. CLAY stated the particulars of
the document bearing his personal testimony 10
the character of the petitioner. Mr.. TIMBER
LAKE represents that he has invested some
sixty or seventy thousand dollars in the manu-
facture of cotton near Monticello. which, under
the tariff of lS42 was flourshing and reasonably
remunerative, but which is decaying and per
ishing under the tariff Of 1916
Mr.. CLAY took this occasion To say that he
should be extremely delighted if, al the present
session. the tariff of 1916 could be taken up in
" liberal, kind and national spirit"-nof with
the purpose of reviviug EXCEPTIONALLY high rates
of protection, but to look deliberately at the OPP
Grafton of the present system, and without dis
turbing It's essential provisions to consider the
question of the prevention OF frauds and great
abuses of the existence of which there can be no
doubt-and to see, whether, without prejudice
to the general interests of the country some
DelltT prottclloll tIldH now tAiSls couiu not De
afforded to the manufacturing interests.
The fact" said Mr.. CLAY, :. is no longer
doubtful that the fires eXlingulshed and
extinguishing daily in the furnaces of the
country. The fact is no longer doubtful that
the spindles and looms are daily stopping in
the country. Whether il is possible to arrest
this downward course, and to throw little
spirit of hope and encouragement into this
great industrial interest without agitating the
country generally, and without any eXtrava-
gance of legislation, are questions, | think,
very well worthy OF serious consideration :;
and hope. in the calm which we are allowed
at present to enjoy in relation to other great
topics which have so long and 50 disastrously
agita,ed the country, that at some early period
during the present session this subject will be
taken up and dealt with lii spirit of kind
ness, and harmony, and nationality"
These views correspond entirely with those
presented in the PRESIDENTS Message, and the
report of Mr.. Secretary CoRwIN. We do not
see that they are open 10 Just objection from
any quarter. Mr.. Polk himself was in favor
of ..affordng reasonable incidental protection to
our home industry" and recommended that "a
spirit of mutual concession and compromise in
ad justing lis details should be cherished by
every part of our widespread country, as the
only means of preserving harmony and a
cheerful acquiescence of all in the operation
of the revenue laws"
Mr.. CLAY certainly stands in the right posi-
ton to accomplish what he desires, ii it can be
accomplished and we sincerely hope that he
will devote himself to the patriotic task.

spoken of the Tariff in his inaugural Address.
He urged Mr.. BLAIR on the President, but the
reply was that ''Mr. BLAIR had too many politir
cal enemies 10 risk the consequences" lie
then proposed TO Join Mr.. BLAIR i'll the Globe
with his consent This was less Objectionable,
but did not remove these difficulties. Mr..
Richie then went into certain private and per-
wished 10 know whether "their principles tcere
alike" We are not surprised at this question,
though it is little odd that Mr.. Richie should
not have satisfied himself on this point before
this. But the account of the rest of this inter
view is good enough To be preserved.
eve wished to know whether our principles were
alike; whether we could maintain the indepen
dence of our own principles; and whether we suit
ed him, and he suited Us; and therefore we should
dcveope our creed to him, and requested him
to communicate his to us. We then stated our
constitutional views. We discussed the question
of the tar-at that time the great question of the
day-at great length Finally, the President
said, with smile, substantially, why talk long
er, have read your paper for several years, and
we perfectly agree in general principles, and
on all great measures. In word, hold to the
Jefiersonian doctrines You understand them,
and have maintained them for years. Come,
then, and cooperate with me in carrying out
those principles We expressed doubts
about our qualifications. He kind enough to
rdcule our doubts. At length remarked to
him that all this would not do that we had de-
termned to establish paper that would come
into collision with the Globe that it would only
widen the breach in our party, &c. &c. To
which Mr.. Polk replied that negotiation was
already going on for the sale of the Globe, and
thus he hoped that all difficulties would be re-
moved Having obtained his cheerful consent
that might communicate in the morning to
Mr.. Blair everything that had passed at that in
t rview, we took our leave
What a scene it must have BEEN this at the
White House! Mr. Richie expounding his
Constitutional views in such elaborate de-
TAIL and the PRESIDENT cutting him short with
the compendious suggestion that they were
both believers in the Jetfersonian doctrines,
and, we suppose, the principles Of '9S! What
an easy mode of severlng the Gordian knot of
policy The problem was solved. There
was platform broad enough for any two
men in the world-Jef1ersona doctrines, of
course, as each understood them. Who can
be surprised that Mr.. Richie was entirely
satisfied with the distinct and explicit decara-
ton Of principles" and prepared to defend
the Administration on that ground to the end
of time!
But there is more choice matter in these rev.
Citations than can be disposed of in single
paper, and we shall reserve the residue of them
for another chapter. If Mr.. Richie would
only consent TO become his own Boswell, we
think he might give the world the funniest
book eXtant.

increase of EXpenditures..

Our intelligent and candid contemporary of
the Union attributes the increase of Federal
expenses, not TO the Mexican war and its CON
sequences bat to the extravaganza and squan-
derng propensities of a WIG Cabinet and
this, too, though no Cabinet officer can author
ize the drawing of dollar from the Treasury
except in cases authorized by Congress. Now,
if our venerable neighbor knows of any specific
instance in which money has been taken from
the treasury, otherwise than in the mode pre-
scribed ., the Constitution and the law, it is
his duty TO make it known to the country.
Otherw ise we submit that he is bound in honor
TO withdraw the false accusations which he has
made against WIG Cabinet.
1t is always better in these cases TO refer to
details. General allegations of extravigance
are very unsatisfactory. Produce the items.
Will the Union have the kindness to inform us
if the table which we give below presents a
view Of the extravaganza Of a VINO Cabinet,
OF an increase in the OUTLAWS of Government
consequent on our large territorial acquisitions?

The MCDoNoGH BKoUEsT.-Ge neral j. Spear
Smith, one of the executors under the will of the
late John McDonogh, has communicated the fol-
lowing resolutions to the Mayor of Baltimore,
which have been prepared by committee of the
municipal councils of New Orleans to be submit
ted for the adoption of the councils of that city
and the city of Baltimore:
"Resolpsd, That Christian Roselius, Robt Prea
ure, A Graue, and Randell Hurst, attorneys and
councillors at law, be, and they are hereby, re-
tanned to defend the interests of the city of New Or
leans and OF the city of Baltimore under the will
of the late John McDonogh, and that they shall be
paid for their professional services, touching the
same, contingent fee of 100000 in the va
diy of the egacies to said cities shall be recog
missed and maintained by final decision of a com
petent court.
Resolued further, That in case the legacies under
the will OF said John McDonogh to the cities of New
Orleans and Baltimore shall be decided to be null
and void and said cities to be entitled to inter
est under said legacies, then the above named
counsel shall receive compensation from said
cities for their professional services.
ResOiued further, That the stipulated TO be
paid in the first resolution in of success is
based upon the superstition that the city of Bati-
more will approve of this agreement and pay one
half of said sum of s 100 900.
Resolved further, That said counsel, or some Of
them, shall argue the before the Supreme
Court of the United States, in appeal shall
be had to that tribunal.
Resolved further, That Daniel Webster be paid a
retaining fee of s 900, that S40 900 shall be paid
to him as he shall argue this case before
the Sapreme Court, and that, in of success he
shall receive an additional fee of 0,000 but in
case OF defeat he shall receive nothing beyond the
two sums first above named in this resolution"
The letter of General Spear Smith states thai the
value OF the estate of Mr.. McDonogh has been
greatly overrated, and " from the best information
he obtain, 1t does not exceed three millions
This is shown by the documents now in the pos
session of the executors"
The municipal councils Of Baltimore having
passed ordinance. taking the appointment of
agents to manage the interests of that city in re-
gard to the McDonogh will from the Mayor, con-
trary to the express provisions of the will itself
(and this, il is elsewhere alleged, to crafty
party malice,) that officer has very properly
fused to sign the ordinance and returned it to the
councils with his objections.

Mos DIsAPPoIsTED OF HASsINo.-A tele

/" Our city was again thrown into much excite

hnms for the murder Of Mr.. Hewett, was 10 have
taken place yesterday, but by an order from the
Governor, received on w Wednesday, IL was extended
10 the fifteenth Of January next. This not being
generally known nor credited, large masses of peo
pie of this and adjoining counties, assembled to
witness the execution, and being disappointed in
their expectations, portion of Them resolved that
the persons should be executed forthwith and urged
by exciting speeches, they got possession Of the
scahold from the jail yard and erected il in the
street, IN front Of the jail They then effected
entrance by jerking the doors and locks and pro-
cecded with crowbars. scsntling, and other nipple
ments, 10 the cells where they met with resistance
from Brown, who, although shscked, az soon as
the cells opened, stepped into the hall, die
armed a few Of the mobbers, by taking from them
the crowbars and scsntling, barred his cell on the
inside, and defed them. lie broke the scantling
over the mobbers, and gave them other striking IL
Illustrations Of his entire disapproval Of such unlaw
ful proceedings. The prisoners were again secured
in the cells, and before dark the crowd dispersed.
Thus resulted, what at first all supposed would be
n most tragical and disgraceful affair The mob
fell back, and few of citizens, dropping in at
this oonjuncture, prevented further violence"

J. Spear Smith, John Gibson, aud Brantz Mayer,
all citizens OF Baltimore, and named by Mr.. Nc
Donogh as executors of his will were admitted
and sworn in yesterday by Judge Buchanan. This
makes the list Of executors who have qualified nine
in number. After being admitted, General How
ard in behalf OF the executors applied to the court
for an order to be paid their travelling expenses.
The court referred them to Mr.. Rosclius resident
executor, who informed the gentlemen from Balti
more that ho thought il highly probable that at the
expiration Of four or five years they would be cnti
tied 10 y so each. Under our law the executors
receive two and a half per cent. the movable CT
fects. Mr. McDonogh's movabes are appraised . L
only $500, 900 and the one ninth part OF two aud
half per cent ON THE amount will be the portion
which each one Of the prescnt executors of Mr. Nc
Donogh will receive. The gentlemen who had
