For the reputation of the Slate and the Town it is our duty to make public a gross ft\?ud \v*hirh was prac tised upon a merchant here, an Saiuiduy K.st, in the sale of Cotton. A man named Bcnjaniin lirown (of fiuilfbrri Coun'. y,) sold a bag of cotton, which upon examination, was found to contain One humhed and tig.'uu pounds of S\nd. The suspicion was first excited by a comparison of Hie weight with/ some other bales which Blown had brought to market. He had hawked it about for some time, but from a suspicion the cotton was wet, he could obtain no purchaser till night. As soon, I (iw ever, as it was weighed and the b.i?* ripped open, the GutKirrd gentle man cunningly decamped leav:ng cotton, waggon, and hotses to the mercy of ihe public. tT~w imprvKSTble-for fmrC^iasers to ascer tain with precision the frauds to which they ar>j liable in this trade, and let this instant e be a warning1 to those people who may be disposed to get more than their moneys worth from an unsuspicious community; i at any tate th**y may be reminded that purchasers are on their guaid, and unless it is done more neatly than Brown attempt i ed i ? . tjuj fraud will surely be discovered.

In ihc House of Representatives yes terday, i lu* Compensation Law was a gain brought on the tapis, and a debate ensued which lasted till sunset. Messrs. Calhoun, (irosvenor and Hopkinson* were conspicuously eloquent. Owing to some members from Massachusetts and other slates having received insti uctions, almost boidcri ur on a demand to vote for a re peal of i his m'jnatrum fivrefitlwn* which has excited sir much popular ? iamor, the question -rf the right of instruction has been agitated, which has called fojth all the talents and energy of the house. The Ha|l of Congi'iss has liieialiy resounded with the eloquence of Messrs Clay, Cal houn, < ?rosvenoi, Hardin, Hopkinson, Bar bour, Randolph, &r. Still the bill remains as it was. Indeed it is a question with us whether t he present Congress ran with strict propriety repeal the law ? All those who voted for the increase have declared that they acted from the purest intentions of heart, and not without mature delibera tion, how then can they cousis ently tome forward und say notwithstanding all this we will vote for its repeal in obediefice to the wishes of our constituents*' If solne of the districts should bye and bye think the compensation too small and wish it cn crea^ecK would It not place the Con^res of the United State* in rather an Utfly pre dicament. In Other countries if they should see such proceedings would they not vay the American Conjures was the weathercock of popular clamor* For our parts we readily acknowledge that power emanates from the people, and we hold the vox** fiofiuK sacred as the vnx <teiy yet we m it t suy that it woultU^ive us heartfelt concern it the Legislators of this Repub lic would let local- interests interfere with great national concerns ; or to see them yield their immunities, or sacrifice their ideas of ri^ht and justice upon the fliiysy altar of popularity. We do not profess to b?^ prophets, but we will almost venture to assert that the bill will remain in statu r/uo for the members of next Congress to acton.
