are referred to as .subjects of eulogy,
these dollars and cent geniuses, will ein-
quire whether they are not /iaid for their
naval services, and whether others might
not le found who would take their pla
ces"-these are a kind of interrogations
hat a generous mind is s-lidom prepared
to answer, although it may feel that the
praise which it meant to bestow was de
served by the object, not so much for a
mere discharge of assigned duty, as by

motives, or however ardent their attach
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, did, during the last war, bring an
odium upon tire political faith of the cra-
dle of independence. Governor Eustis
will probably be elected by an additional
majority. The mutability of public sen
timents (or public voting) is not experi-
enced in that state, to the extent that pub
lie men feel it in Pennsylvania--nor pet*
haps effected by the same means, viz.
executive power. This is, and ever has
been in this state 'a rock of offence' for
the Governor, Mr. Snvder, did indeed es-'
cape any evils from that source; not so
with his successors, they; have all pros-
trated their popularity,(we had almost said
prostituted their privileges) by their inju-
dicious appointments. This vast power of

an undue influence upon elections, and

was performed, whether in its discharge;
risks had not been incurred, that cold and
calculating prudence would have shrn lnk
from, and the service thus have lost the be
tiefit of a daring exploit and he have sa-
ved himself from the danger of loosing his
credit, which was staked upon an under-
taking, the result of which would have
been n)t private but public good \Whten
public service is faithfully and successfully
performed, and the servant, entrusted with
its discharge, evinces a devotion to the in-
terests-placed in his hands, the praise due
to him, is in some measure to be drawn
fr om, the difference of duty performed by
him, that which would have been effected
by a mere hireling, who felt no disire be-
yond imparting to his employers an equal
value for the wages he may have re,

Mr. Clinton for ali his services as a Ca-
nal Commissioner and President of the
Board (for a period of 12 year) never
received a single cent of compensation.


But to return to the Massachusetts A writer in the Baltimore Federal Ga-


election, we perceive that in the vote for'
senators, a portion of the state was not
influenced by political distinctions; at-
tempts were successfully made to elect a
person, favourable to a law, ameliorating
the condition of unfortunate debtors;
whose situation in Massachusetts, is not
of the most enviable kind.
National Currency.-The subject of a
National Currency and its effect upon
public credit, and the general promotion
of industry and its consequent reward,
has been recently discussed in a few of
the public journ;als. We notice thata meet
ing has been held in the city of Washing-
ton, composed of some of the most re-
spectable citizens of the metropolis, as
well as individuals of note from various
'parts of the Union. This meeting re-
.solved,' that some Legislative inter-
ference was necessary, in the general
state of business in our country, and
t;iat such interference could in no other
way be so effectual as in establish-
ing a National Currency ; which under
pr'per regulations will give employment
to labour, a- stimulus to public industry,
and vigor to the progress of all kinds of
/ internal improyementu
To effect this desirable object, a com-
n:ittee was 'appointed to memorialize
Congress, stating the present condition of
society and requesting enactments on thief
subject.
This committee was also instructed to
open a correspondence with committees
in the different cities of the Union, and to
encourage a co operation, in soliciting the
interposition of Congreiss.

It is a question some times asked by
men of little minds,and narrow prejudices,
when the official conduct of any respecta-
S ble individual praised,--"was he not pay-


zette, complains loudly and strongly of
the present mania of his fellow citizens
for moving to New York ; he says that
merchants, mechanics, lawyers and phy-
sicians, are all going to New York-and'
he wisely hints, that the time recently
employed in investigating the merits of
an oppressive "militia bill" would have
been more profitably spent, in enquiring
into the cause of this migrating disease.

The Attorney General of New York,
at the request of the Legislature, has de
cleared, that in his opinion, the late decision
of the judges of the supreme court, gives
a right to any individual, who will take


out a coasting license to that effect, to na-
vigate the river Hudson with steam boats.
The Cincinnati (Ohio) papers contain
several instances of the fatal effects of
inhaling Ether, This mania we are sor-
ry to perceive, is travelling west witl the
same disagreeable effects that it produ-
ced in our city; two' or three deaths and
several cases of protracted pains and con-
vulsions arising from this folly, are re
coidcd in a single paper.

We learn that there have been esta-
blished by the Postmaster General, up-
wards cof SEVEN tHUNDRIED Dne post ofii-

Whatever there is of political sentiment,

From the reports of the commissioners of
the Generald Land Office, it appears, that the
suim total of public land surveyed is 110,088-,
498 acres, of which 27,492,761, have been
sold, and 92,595,737 remain unsold. At the
niniinunm 'price fixed by Congress, these landls
vill produce nearly two-tthirids more than the
vwh'ii atnlount ofourt national debt, and tle
quantity, already in market shews that it needs
no atldition, either from Indian purchases, or
surveys run through a wilderness.

Vtilhcrford, the Prophet, died near Montpe-
lier in tile state of Alabama, on the 9th March
last. This celebrated Indian warrior, *led the
hostile Indians to the attack upon Fort Mims,
in 1813, which resulted in the massacre ofnear-
ly four hundred men, women aidl children; and
afterwards voluntarily and dauntlessly flung
himself into the hands of General Jackson, and
demanded his protection.

The following address was delivered by the
Rev. John Stanford, A. M; in the Bridewell
yard, on Friday morning 2d1 inst. before the
officers of justice &c. preparatory to the exe-
cution ofJolmn Johnson.
Fellow Citizens:-This morning we are as-
sembled to witness thie execution of the sea..
tence of the law of God, and of our country,
upon an unfortunate creature, for the horrid
crime of murder. Though painful to assert, it
is a fact which cannot be denied, that our city,
as it increases in population, too much abounds
in vice and immorality. Murder is the greatest
criminal offence which possibly caun i_ --,-y,
emitted, wxheheer ag i n t oi nian. It is
assuming the rights of the Majesty of Heaven
by violently taking away the life of a fellow
creature, which none but God can give, anid
which thie murderer cannot possibly restore;-
an;d while it deprives the public of ausefui citi-
zen, the criminal act of'the murderer hurries
the soul of tlie victim into eternity, prepared
c ,...J nw *. :. -, h .. J ... r ..._;t e-
i ..:' .. ... ':. r l. .' i m alig,
nant is the atrocious crime of murder!
Unless the act of murder be committed from
a principle of premeditated revenge, it usually
proceeds through the two great avenues of in-
toxication or of covetousness. By the fiery
draught, the mind loses its constraining tone-
reason is p-ostrated, and the man becomes ca-
pable of committing that offence which may
produce his own mise.iy.
The unfortunate person, now a qpectfale be.
fore you, confessed to me, i I ..
nruxnk, Ishould not have killed the man." Take
warning', therefore, my fellow citizens, and be-
ware of the sin of intemperance, which has be-
come a glowing evil, is a source of crime, and
too frequently destroys the happiness of fami-
lies. This poor miserable criminal, discover-
ing the bags of money in the chest of James
Murray, coveted them for his own use, and
committed the murder intentionally to conceal
his theft. Take heed, therefore, and beware
of covetousness, and be content with such
things as ye have," lest, by overeaching your-
selves, before your are aware, you ixhlit down
the precipice of destruction! It is most devout-
ly to be wished, that Providelce may overrule
the present awful exhibition of justice, by ma-

citizens, and so produce the most desirable
moral reformation.
[TO THE CRnIMISAL.]
My poor fellow sinner! what can I say to
you? Solemn and dreadful is your prospect of
an immediate dcath. Whatevermay be the pub-
lie opinion concerning your case, I most ear.
nestly entreat you to penetrate tile secrets of
your own breast, and make such a confession
as your God mxay read at his final judgment.-
Look to that blessed Saviour, who alone can
pardon your crime:, through the shelling of
his own blood upon the cross, and g-rant you
peace wilt your offended God. Whether you
already enjoy a sense of such mercies, or lnot,
may the compassionate Redeemer, meet with
you on your way to death; and, in yo :r last
moments enable vou to commit you're departing
soul into his hands for a blessed immortality.
That ti e God ofgrace tmay prepare this dis-
tressed Ian for his last conflict in death, and
sanctify this event for the nioral bencit of our
community, let us offer our p'raycr at the
Throne of His mercy.

ST. AUGUSTI.sE, E. Florida, March 20.
C0l. Gadsden and party returned to this city
* on Monday evening last. We have been in-
formed that they have completed, as far as
practicable, the survey of the Indian Reserva-
tion, and that Col. Humphreys, who had an in-
terview with Col. Gadsden at Okahumpy, had
Proceeded west to concert with the Governor
the measures necessary for the immediate con-
centration of our Red Brethren within the lim-
its designated. Col. Gadsden reports the loca-
tion as the most favourable that could have
been made regarding alike the comfort of the
Indian, and the fi(ture prosperity of the terri-
tory of Florida. It was a misfortune, consid-
eriig the exposed situation, and general char-
'acter of the soil of Florida, that any Indian
population should have been found within its
S imits; as it could not be removed, the most I
judicious disposition of it under the protection
of the Government of the United States was
the only course of conduct which justice and
policy dictated. The district of country se-
lected is central, and so disposed as to admit of
certain control over the Indian; it is illy adapt-
ed to a white, while it is well calculated to sus-
tain an Indian population. The Hammocks
are detached and equal to all tie agricultural
demands of the Sons of the Forest; while ex-
tensive ranges for stock of Cattle, and equally
extensive hunting grounds will afford them
the means of subsistence from sources more
congenial with their disposition and habits.
A military post, (which in honor of the dis-
'tinguished commander Ihas been named Can-
tonment Brooke,) has been established near
the mouth of the North Hillsborough river
which discharges into a bay of the same name,
being a branch from the great estuary of Santo
Spirita. The site is well selected with a view
to a vigilant eye over the Indians of the south;
and for the protection of those emigrants who
may be tempted to try their fortunes in those
milder latitudes.
Col. Gadsden and party penetrated a few
miles south of Charlotte's harbor, and returned
by a more eastern rout, edging the margins of
the extensive savannahs composingthe great
'southwestern hunting grounds. One of these
grassy planes was upwards of 14 miles wide at
a narrow part crossed by Col. Gadsden, while
to the south and east there was no visible lim-
its to its extent. The information derived from
the Indians was that a chain of these savannahs
extend to within a few miles of the Atlantic
and the character of the country in their vi-
cinity was such as to produce the strongest
convictions as to the fact. The whole district
of country around Charlotte's river and bay
presents to the eye only flat pine barrens, and
parched palmetto planes intersected by grassy
ponds and inundated savannahs; many of these
exhibiting strong indications of having but re-
cently emerged fi'om the Ocean; and exposed
to occasionalrevisitations. The country as far
south as 28 degrees of latitude had been repre-
sented to be much more elevated than has
generally been supposed. 'The ridges of the
Alachua extend in a south eastern direction to
40 or 50 miles- south of the sources of the
Ocklewha river, and terminate near the com-
mencement of the extensive district of savan-
rlihs noted.
Near the sources of the Ocklewaha they
seem in black jack hills of the pure white sea
sand to obtain their greatest elevation and from
thence south are intersected by innumerable
clear water ponds. Many of these are of great
depth, nearly circular, resemblingthe sinks,
somewhat enlarged, peculiar to Florida-with
precipitonn hbnks, and their water so pure and
c':.l -, Ii-, ciio.'lola rhe speculation, as to a
pi:.AL.le .l Arl t ..i-. communication with
tih Ocklewaha. Similar ridges, of nearly
t il 'I elevationn are found near the North Hills-
bLiIn i.gh, Amaxura and Tala-chop-co rivers.
,This last mentioned stream rises in a large
"L..: ,.,, iu., .fll -e miles eastof the Bay
or J" -a r, ,it.., I J;-:tii.,, .:: ninto Clhar-
;.,ri-:'- 1i 'i .:.rr. Its ,'-.'r -i :i' :. is west of

are composed of strata, of the lime stone com-
Son to this country, with superincumbent
hills .f sand and hammocks.-This river dis-
c ,, I',' at the same point with Charlotte's ri-
v-i. 'ind corresponds iit its character and
..i.,rc;, so much with the description usually
given-ofthat stream, as to encourage the idea
.that they have been somewhat confounded.-
Charlotte's river proper is but an inconsidera-
:ble natural canal to drain, in conjunction with
others, which have a connection the gulf of
-Mexico, farther south, the immense district
of savannahs-it has its rise in extensive Bay
and Cypress swamps, and takes its direction
West through Savannalhs, marked in its course
by scattering Cabbage Trees; and oak thickets
on its banks.
Its banks and beds are composed in many
spots of alternate layers of marine shells and
sand; or strata of shells, with superincumbent
sea sand and hillocks, covered with scrub oak
tickets.
The Big Hammock, near the Chicuchatty
village, is among the largest of hammocks in
Florida. It is encompassed bya ridge of pine
land, some of which is of good quality, rising
to a considerable elevation, and the hammocks
have in many places encroached on the very
summit of the hills. The soil corresponds to
the general character of the hammocks of Ala-
ciua. The whole country, from the Santo Fe,
to the south end of the Big Hammock, pre-
sents elevated undulating Pine lands, inter-
spersed or spotted with hammocks of greater
or less magnitude, of light and more durable
soils, based on sand, narl, indurated lime-stone
or clay; and diversified with pine flats, inter-
sected with grassy and clear water ponds. It
omay be ranked among the most desirable of
; the interior districts of Florida, combining the
advantages of moderate climate, health, soil
adaptedunder a judicious mode of culture,
to the most valuable of southern staples-ele
vated and gravelly ridges, with an aspect fa-
rourable to the production of the various fruits;
and extensive ranges for cattle and sheep.
May we now .encourage tie belief of speedi-
ly witnessing an enterprizing population pene-
trating this wilderness, and the sickening
hopes of three years disappointment more
than realized in the flowering prospects of au-
tumnal prosperity.


NANTUCKET, March 29.
The atmosphere yesterday, though cloudy,
vWas of so peculiar a nature, that, from tihe tow-
er of the Smith Cliurch -'e could plainly dis-
cern with the naked eye the southern and east-
ern boun claries of Martha's Vineyard,.the whole
extent of the land from lFalmouth to Chath'am,
tie two light houses at thle latter place, and
many other buildings on tile Cape--a distance
of more than thirty mles. Thle ocean appeared
sike a vast sleet of crystal. To-day we have a
Storm of rain with melancolly howls of wind
,from the South East-very much disposing the
Mind to moralize: suchis man, &c. &c.

From the National Advocate.
Divig Bell.-It is w:li known, that
during thle revolutionary war, the British
frigate Hussar sunk at Hell Gate, having
on board, as was said, a large sum in
specie to pay the troops Innumerable
attempts by diving and fishing have
been made to get at the specie in these
hard times. The moment that spring,
with her rosy fingers, had beckoned win-
ter from his gloomy caves, and sent the
icy god to the regions of the north; or, to
spsakin intellible language, the moment
the ice dissolved, two parties started for
Hell Gate, vulg:ily called Hurl Gate, to
live and duck, and plunge to the bottom
of the deep, in search of the mopusses.
These rival fishers have been prevented
from fingering the golden bait by the jea-
lousy of each other. One party will not
permit the other to descend to the wreck
lyilg full fatthom five," and neither will
quit the watery elementt, for fear that in
their absence the money may be found.
In tis distressing dilemma both parties
Remain in statu quo. They decline goinlk
down at the same time in different diving
bells, for fear that when at the bottom
they imay meet and have a fight for tlhe
booty,to the evil example of the peaceable
inhabitants of the deep, and from the le
gal difficulty of indicting each other for
assault aid battery; low this case will
terminate e cannot say; both iave a right
to fish for money, but neither party ca.i
agree to divide theii' gains equitably :
therefore, this large sunI. which, by tilh
bye, itis proved I;vder was on board the
frigate, must remain in thlie holes atnd
crannies of the wreck, until tile divers
can agree upon the division. A third
party, however, would settle the question
and that would be what the law terms
" divers persons unlkowni."
Quer! .--Hrw would it answer to have
a bank incorporated to put the money in
after it is found,to be called the'Submarine
Bank.' as new charters are all the go at
present?-The stock would soon be filled,
and above par, or high water mark.


BALTIMORE, April 8.
Produce sf the Susque/2anna,--We
learn that within a few (lays thirty seven
boats from the head waters of the Sus-
quehanna have passed thlr'ghi the canal
at York Haven, laden within the rich and
various products of tle interior-as wheat,
flour, clover seed, whiskey, &c. &c. The
quantity of wheat was 26 228 bushels, of
which 7628 bushels were unladen at the
mills in that town and will reach this
market after being manufactured into
flour.

Money.-During the present session
of the legislature of New York, three
new Banks and eight or tel Insurancel
Comorpanies, with an aggregate capital ol
about five million of dollars, have been
incorporated.

Mlassachusetts Election.-Unlike ths
electoi s of Connecticut, in Massachusetts
there appears tc have been a more ge-
neral rallying of the freemen than ever.
In Boston, upwards of 6000 votes were-
polled, viz: 3354 for Mr. Lathrop the fe- .
deral candidate for Governor, and 305S2
for Governor Eustis. Four of the six
Senators elected in Suffolk district, are
federalists; one of the democratic candi.
dates has succeeded, and there is one va-
cancy. From 21 towns heard from, the
the vote stands 6980 for Lathrop, and
7641 for Eustis. Last year, in the samni
towns, the vote stood 5,700 for Otis, and,
6910 for Eustis. It thus appears that
there has been a gain of voles by both
parties; but there is a net federal gain of
549. There must be a greater gain in
proportion, in other parts of the state to
carry in Mr. ILatbrop ; and our pressnit
impressions are, that Mr Eustis has
again succeeded. We shall be better able
to form an opinion to norrow.-,'. Y.
