it must have been very feebly uttered, for it !

[Mr. Benton. I heard it distinctly.]
Mr. Rives hoped that no American citizen
could deliberately intend to insult the'Chief j
.Magistrate of the Republic; and even if this ;
had, though le<-sly and in a moment of excite- J
ment, been done, he was very sure the Presi-. j
dent would be the last individual to resent i?: ;
he was known to be in favor of allowing to ev 1

and as there seemed to be some do. bts, even, '
whether any hisses had been u'tered at all,
he hoped nis frend from Missouri would con- 1

CHER AW GAZETTE.
WEDNESDAY, August 25,1841.
We have received from the Hon. F.
\V. Pickens a copy of his speech on the
Land Bill, and from the Hon. John Camp
he!) a copy of his speech on the Revenue
Bill.
After the last part of Col. Campbell's speech
had baeu printed on the fourth page, our
attention was called to the fact that room
could not be made for the entire speech this
we*-|{. I(j ordrr therefore to do as little
injustice to the speech as possible in dividing
i:, we shall next week insert all after the
I
point where it is no v stopped, including the
part on the fourth page of the present number.
The President has signed the bill repealing
the sub-treasury act. The public
money is now in the hands of the Executive
without legislative restriction of any
O *
kind. Hg inav direct it to be kept in pet
hanks, strong boxes, or any where else,
at discretion.
The reader upon turning to the pro
cecdingsof the Senate, after the reading
of the President's veto message, will be
amused, and, if lie has a proper regard for
the character of his country, he will be also
mortified at the ruffianism of Col. Benton
in his attack upon a supposed "bank
r ?fiian" in the person of a drunken friend
of his own. Col. Benton is, we believe*
the only member of the Senate whose
character and conduct are a reproach to
that august bodv.

Tiie Louisiana Insurrection has ended
in smoke. The negroes which had
heen arrested were all tried, and acquitted,
nothing have been proved against any of
them. The white man who had been
arrested under charge of being cognizant
of a projected insurrection, has also been
discharged.
Kigiit.?The man who negotiated
between the director of the Frederick
Bunk and the rogues w ho had roM>c? the
bank has been indicted by a New York
grand jury, and he'd to hail in the sum of
$30 000. His nam-.' is Wiley.
One of the seamen of the ship William
Brown, named Alexander W. Holmes,
has been arrested and committed to pris.
on nn n rh/tro-p nf murder, for assisting
w" - ? n
to tlirow overboard persons who had escaped
from t^iat vessel on tho long boat.
One A. C. Farrington, the late presi.
dent of a bank in Ohio, having been
indicted for fraudulent transactions in the
management of the ban!;, has been con.
victed and sentenced to tho Penitentiary
for a term of 15 years.
A man lately killed himself in Wil.
min :ton X. C. by 'a'iing an over dose of
lobe ia. So says the "Chronicle" of that

The American Consul at Matanzas has
been imprisoned by orrlerof the Governor
General of ( uba. Cause not stated.?
So says a Capt. Merrimnn from that Port
to the editor of the Philadelphia U. S.
Gazette.
Since the above was put in type we see
it stated that the Consul was arrested on
a charge of conniving at the illegal seiz.
ing of property owned by a woman of ill
fame who died at Matanzas. The Consul
was sent for to write her will, hut finding
her in a dying state, he returned
home, knowing nothing, as he says, about
her property. Money and other property
owned by her to a considerable amount,
was taken into possession and secreted or
dissipated by her associates, and ihe Consul
is now confined in jail, under charge
of conniving at their doing so. The prop,
erty belonged legally to the government
at the death of the woman ; who was a
native of the U. States, and died intestate
leaving no legal heirs in the Spanish
dominions.
CONGRESS.
The Senate was still occupied almost
exclusively on the Land Bill down to
Wednesday last. It is uncertain what
the result will be, or has been.
The veto message, which was received
on Monday week, was, on that day, postponed
till Tuesday. On Tuesday it was
again, on motion of Mr. Mangum of N.
C., postponed till Wednesday. On Wednesday,
it was still, on motion of Mr.
Herrien of Ga., postponed till Thursday,
by a strictly party vote. On Thursday
it was probably taken up for consideration.
What course the i.dvocates of a
bank ma)' be disposed now to pursue, we
have no means of judging.
In the House of Representatives the
bill to establish a uniform system of
Bankruptcy, finally passed 01. Wednesday
|a^. by a vote of 110 to 106. The biil
bad been previously laid on the table,
there to sleep during the session by a vote
of 110 to 97; but this vote was again reconsidered.
An amendment was mnde to
the bill by the House, awl it was, therefore,
sent back to the Senate, which body
concured in the amendment. The bill
has since been approved by the President
and is a law.
The bill to renew the charters of the
: district banks, which had passed the Senate,
was taken up in the House on Wed j
! nesday, after the passage of the bankrupt
. bill, and passed, with an amendment j
i which, there was no doubt, the Senate j
i would concur in. i
In addition to the Bank hill, the land ]
bill and revenue bill were still before the f
j Senate. When they shall be disposed of
and Congress be ready to adjourn is still
uncertain.
Since the above was in typo wo have
received the following brief report in the
Globr, of the proceedings on the bank bill
on Thursday.
The hour of twelve having arrived, tho Chair
announced the cpeci.il or J -r of the d;?y?liic hill
lo incorporate tho Mibtcribcis to the Fiscal B;ink
of the United Stales, wiih the message ofihe
n *i . .
rresiueni reiusmg 11 in .isseui iticreio.
The debate on the B.uik hilt, cro-npanied with
the Piesi.lent's veto, was protracted to ho late an J
hour that we have not lirno, before our paper
goes to press, to touch upon the topics discussed.
It wax conducted u ilh unusual ability by Mr.
Cay on one side, and Mr. Rives on the other.
Mr. Clay in his opening speech, was, for liitn,
singularly temperate in tone, and profuse in
friendly protestations towards the President ; but
before he concluded the day. he gavntho reins to
his vehement passions, and strip) off the disguisv
with which ho had labored to cover his feelings.
Although, in the first, effort ho preserved some
moderation of m nncr. and cx r-ssion, his whole
aim was manifest y to cover the President with
odium nd di stroy him with the Fsdcrul party.
He began by reading'his inaugural address.)
and declared that, although at first he and oth*
era entertained distrust as to the President's !
coursv, that paper had dispelled J| appreheusions
about the fate of a Bank charter at his hands.
He said that this address had satt"find tlia Whole
whig party and press t roughout the country?
that he was prepared to assent to the establishment
of a National Bunk. He referred next to
the implied pledge in accepting the nomination
from the Harruburg Convention ss Vice Preside
nt. which he said every body knew he could
not have obtained?no, not even the vote of a
single member of that Convention, nor a single
Whig electoral vote, if it had been suspected
that he would not have yielded to the parly wish
in tavor of a Bank.
(i)fr. Clay continued Ills Vemarks at great
length and was rep'ied toby Mr. Rives, after
which the vete was taken on the bill, and
stood 25 for and 24 against it.]
Disorders at Washington.
On the night after the President'** veto
message was sent to the Senate two parties
of rowdies turned out, one composed of
Democrats, and the other of Whigs. The
former after various hideous noises confirmatory
of the old proverb * A hen wine is in wit
I is out," proceeded to bury the bank bill. The
I other party entt red the enc'osures of 'he
President's mansion. lo disturb and inavit
himself and his faintly fur hi* refusing to si-a
the same b;JI.
Mr. Woodbury two days afterwards, m
the Senate, submitted a resolution directing J
the Committee on t he District of C jium n ?o j
enquire into the character and extent of th?di8turbances
in the gallery on the passage cthe
bank bill, and on the reading flf t!te veto
message ; and also into the diatuiban< es near
the President's house above refered to. The
resolution directs the committee to report the
names of the ofTeuders so far as tiiey can he
ascer ained, and to inquire what punishment
they are liable to, and what further legislation
may be necessary to protect the officers of
government from molestation in the discharge
of their public duties. It is to be hoped as
Congress have taken up the subject they will
act efficiently in it.
A petition has also been presented to the
Mayor of Washington, signed by more than
one hundred person* asking him to call a
public meeting of the citizens, to express their
reprobation of the effort "by a few worthless
individuals'1 to treat with insult and indecorum
th<* PrA?ifl#>lit and rhf> Mavor has according.
,,,w - " I J ? 9
]y issued his proclamation calling such meet,
mg. This is really more disreputable te the
city than the vulgar attempt at insult itselfi
In e^ery community there are worthless and
senseless individuals capable of mean ana
vulgar acts. To assemble respectable men
to reprobate their conduct is treating them
with too much attention, and really implies
that they are looked upon as entitled to very
serious consideration.4 Public meetings on
such occasions are an interference with the
province of the police, and are prompted only
by that spirit of ultra democracy in our country
which tends to reduce our beautiful the.
ory of constitutional and representative gov.
ernment to a government of mobs. It would
be much more useful for the citizens of Wash"
ingtan to be engaged in bringing the culprits
before the police magistrates and into the
hands of their jailors, than in making indignation
speeches and passing indignation resolutions
at popular meetings. Are the magistrates
and people of Washington so remiss in
their public duties as to require the stimulus
of a democratic meeting to urge them forward
on such an occasion ?
Since the above was put into the hands
the printer we have received the Globe of
Thursday even in?, from which we learn that
Mr. Woodbury's resolution was, on that day,
with his consent, postponed till next ?e3sion,
to afford time for deliberate legislation on the
subject During some debate to which the
resolution gave rise it was stated by Mr. Merrick
that the disorderly proceeding at the
President's house arose from a parcel of hig
friends collecting there to serenade him, as a
compliment tor veloing the bank bill. The*e
men were joined l?y others of a different way
of thinkin'g, who when the music commenced*
made counter noises, in derision nut of the
President, bat of his sereuadcrs.

The advantages which have resulted
from concert of action in the promotion
of civil and religious institutions, are too
| familiar tc you to require o single comment.
None are more indebted to this
principle for their present high state of
improvement and refinement, while none
I have followed along more uniformly pari
I passu, with the general improvement of
this age of discoveries, than our own peculiar
profession.
By a concert of action, a free and mutual
interchange of# opinion on the prevalent
diseases we have to, combat a more
perfect topographical knowledge of our
respective districts?a more thorough acquaintance
with our individual practice in
the treatment of disease, and the prospect
of adding something to the general stock
of medical literature, are among the ohvious
advantages suggested by a move
mcnt of the kind.
The profession of medicine, has ever
maintained a high and dignified station
in the ranks of lenrned professions, and
none have contributed more to the genera!
good of mankind, save the divinely
appointed. To maintain that dignity
should he tha laudable aspiration of every
member of her corps. It is easily se? n
how an association of physicians in a well
organized society, will be contributive to
this end. Besides, they can without risk
of reputation, (which any one physiciai
might incur in the attempt,) spurn from
their members, the drivelling intruder
who for base and mercenary motives
would undersell the services, and other,
wise compromise the dignity of the profession.
Let me propose to you then, that even
physician of the above districts sanction,
ing these views meet at Darlington C. II.
as the most central point, on the 1st Decembcr,
and organize themselves into a
Society, to be called by whatever name
deemed most applicable, when convened.
And farther, that each so disposed communicate
(postage free,) to the Editor of
the Farmers' Gazette, his consent, that he
might give us notice through his journal
by the middle of Nov., whether or not,
there will be. a nur.jN??- sufficient to warrant

The Rights of Womax.
As the whole community is agitated
with measures adopted tonssert the rights
and advance the interests of labouring
men, it would he well to consider for a
moment the claims of industrious wo.
men. There is a strange and cruel mock*
ery in the conduct of the lords of creation
to the weaker sex.
They are fond of speaking in extravagant
terms of the excellence of woman,
thev delight in manifesting their
refinement by unmeaning compliments,
and exhibit their gallantry in a thousand
superfluous attentions. Here their justice
ends. They call themselves the defenders
of woman?do they protect her?
They praise her virtue?does their eonduct
manifest a real respect? They
compassionate her weakness?do thev
sustain her poverty, cheer her loveliness
with the voice of encouragement; or do
aught in any shape tcPsupply her wants,
or alleviate her afflictions? The world
is a scene of violence, where each man
scrambles fur his share of the plunder?
hut weak woman is constrained by her
physical inferiority to stand apart and
? - 1- |-?
gaze nopeiessiy on ine struggle, wun little
to sustain her or her little ones but the
stray fragments which may fall in her
way. She is still, as in olden time, a
gleaner in the harvest of life; and
through her responsibilities are equal to
those of man, she is expected to supply
her wants and perform all her duties upon
the miserable pittance which the reaper
leaves behind him as unworthy to be
gathered. Such is the justice, such the
kindness of man to woman.
The s urdy labourer complains that
his wages are low, and thousands unite in
a moment and secure him redress; hut
the widow may toil with'superior assiduity
and receive less than the tithe of the wages
of the man?and who strikes for herl
Is her labour .ess useful or necessary ?
By no means. Are her orphans more
readily or cheaply sustained than the
children of the labourer I Of course not.
Yet she is allowed to toil unceasingly,
and receives a paltry pittance which if
quadrupled would be scorned by a man
laborer witl} contempt.
Again the man complains, justly perhaps,
that 12 hours labor is too much for
i . . . .
i
his herculian frame, and he strikes for an
? amelioration of his condition. The press
f is clamorous in support of the poor laborer
; Orators and politicians espouse his
I cause; nnd iie triumphs. But the lone
widow sits at her solitary labor, plying !
1 the noodle with her fingers, and rocking
1 the cradle with her foot. The sun rises
and sets upon her, and the stars almost
i fade from the sky, before, with a fevered I
and exhausted frame, she sinks upon the j
couch. But who we ask again strikes j
for the lone widow/ Who compassion-;
, atesher. wrongs and asserts her rights?;
Perhaps it may he asserted that woman ;
has no rights. Men are entitled to high !
wages?hut women must not expect it; j
men must not labor more than ten hours?
hut women being weak and unable to I
? i
demand their lair share of the advantages J
that result from labor, must consent to;
he, as they have been, the drudge and:;
slaves of those who prate about their beau, j
tv and their chivalry. I:

TERRIFIC STOBV?HYDROPHOBIA.
About a month ago a dog belonging to
Mr. Fenwick, George street, Perth, gave
, pretty strong symptoms of being in j
; a rabid state, by biting three or four of its
own species, without anything like provoj
cation, and immediately thereafter fasten.
; iugon a horse belonging to James Rollo,
: a licensed carter in Bridgend. The ag- j
gressor, as well as those he ha J attackted
with the exception of the more noble ani. '
| mal, were drowned #or otherwise killed j
with all convenient speed, to save proha- |
ble consequences. The horse (a finestal- t
| lion) was hit on the upper lip; but the <
wound, which seemed trivial, soon healed. (
! and was quickly forgotten. On the even- j
i ing of sabbath last, his ow ner, on going |

' feverish state, frothing at the mouth, and perspirin^copiously.
This circumstance 1
however, did not a tthe time bring to mind j
any recollection of the injury done by the [
dog, as natural causes might acount for I
i these manifestations of excitement. On J
Monday morning Rollo rose nhout four j
o'clock, to cart a quantity of clothes to |
the North Inch for bleaching. On enter- 5
ing the stable h? was immediately struck at
by tho horse, and, essaying to put on
the harness, the enraged animal caught ~
hold of his left sholder with his teeth.? <
By dint of superior strength and fortitude however
he succeeded in extricating him- ~
self, and adjusting the harness, but no
sooner had they cleared the stable door
when the infuriated animal again rushed a
upon his master, siezed himby the arm and 1
throwing him down, trampled and tore 1
him alternately, and would have made
him a mangled corpse in a short time, had I
not a house cnrpenter and a policeman a
run to his assistance, and, striking the
maddened brute a blow on the head
with a hammer, forced him off the pros- J
trate man. The horse was now yoked by
the assistance of the carter's son, and the
clothes taken to the Inch. On returning r
he was driven knee-deep into the river;
but, though showing no marked repug- .
nance to water, he refused to drink.?
