TAKirr. f, The Coalition prints are quoting an edi torial article from the Georgia Journtl which pledgee the new administration to op pose the urifT, end by way of giving it more effect, the Journal U styled a Jackton print. We believe that one of the editors was an Elector, who voted for General Jackson, but that vote was given under circumstan ces, and his editorial career, since the ejec tion, has heen such an to justify the belief previously expressed In Georgia, that hts vote was coerced by popular opinion, and that, could he have controled the election, Mr. Clay, and not general Jackson, would now be U?e President of the United States. We protest against any admission that may make the administration responsible for the insidious and premeditated attacks of such editors. The extinction ol the national debt; an ob ject which this administration is desirous to accomplish, will, with our present revenue leave a surplus in the Treasury often mill ions or more annually. To permit that sum to accumlate from year to year unexpended would soon Impoverish the nation, orenrich the banks in which it may be deposited, at the expanse of the people. To anticipate that this subject will, at an early period br submitted to the consideration of Congress and that this new state of our finances must lead to important alterations of the tariff, requires no political foresight. But the as sertion that the President has determined upon any line of policy hostile to the man ufacturing interests, or that he will be dis posed to favor one section of the Union, at the expense of another, is contradicted by every act ofhislife.?U. 5. Tclegra/ih. We know not by what authority the Teleprapr. reports the opinion* of Oen. Jackson We pi* tune it has more or less the confidence of the administration. We ere not sslonished at the cautioa with which it epproeehes llic question of protecting domestic manufactures, when we re fleet, that thii paper haa never been in any de gree devoted to it; It if it is determined to *u?lain any position which the present cabinet may a* aumt? in relstion to the policy of frte trndt or prohibition,it may be premature to risk any com mittal. One tiiiag we msy be permitted to remark: the question la one of principU, snd thu southern people, who are th? victims of the tariff1, aspect it to be deeidsd st the nsst session of Congress A nslly Sad forever. We assisted to make Gen. Jackson President, aot because wo knew him to be pledged to our doctrines and our cause, but because we believed him to tie a patriotic and an boneat man; uncommitted to the absniditiea of the American system, according to the theory and practice of Mr Clay and his adherents} open to the force of oar reasonings; alive to the ron stitution,and devoted to the preservation of the union, upon Its original principles Bet we do not believe that the fate of the. pro liibitory policy ?lepf nds upon the coarse which the administration may take,whatever that lie. No president csn control the avarice of men; but be may eserctae much Influence over the opinion* of the people who have confidene* In him, and his co-operatkn for the accomplishment of a great and patriotic object is much to be desired. We were pleased with Geo. Jackson s inaugural ad drees, which, however, was rather ohsenre in relation to the tariff. We do not sea that the above emendetion of the Telegraph render: it any more lectd The Morning Cmrier and Enquirer, of thcSdinM. invite* a meeting nt the friend* of the firtttnt adminittration to appoint delegate# to w convention for the revisal of the city charter of Mew-York. We wish not to meddle with the locnl af fairs of the city of-New-York, but we take occasion to say, that we cannot comprehend what proper or useful connexion there can bo between a reorganisation of the city go vernment and the prtrty feelings, which be long to the aflhira of the United State*. If indeed the opponents of the present admin istration have filed off to themselves upon thto question, which, tor some time past, uppeara to have agitated the city of New York, th?m, this I* sufficient justlficati* n, (for there it no alternative,) to the advo cates of the president. We do not know that this is the case?and we believe it is not } and upon general principles we think the good sense of every man will condemn the practice of mingling the bitter spirit of foreign contests with all the minute con center* local government. No matter what a ciUten of New-York may think about president Jackson, he Is equally interested In the good government of the city?and te transfuse the alienation of nathnat quarrels into the business of family concerns* ap pears toue to be productive of very serious evils and totally Indefensible.

Dreadful Cmiattro/ihe.?The steam fri gate, Fulton, at the Navy-Yard, Brooklyn, New-York, haa been blown up, by tho com munication of fire to the magaalne, in which there was at the time but three barrels pf damaged powder. It is supposed to have resulted from the carelessness of a newly appointed gunner, who went down to the magaain* to procure powder for the usual discharge of an evening gun. The Fulton was moored about 300 yards from the shore, where she has been used ever since the war as a receiving ship ; and although surroun ded by a great number of vessels, none re ceived any damage. There were attached to the ship 143 persons?but fortunately 62 had been drafted a day or two before, and had proceeded to Norfolk. Commodore Chaunccy had visited the ship a short time before the explosion for the purpose of in spection?but he and Captain Newton, the commander, had left the frigntc a tew minutes before. Twenty five were killed upon the spot, three have since died, and among the latter Lieut. Brackenridge, deeply and universally lamented. Lieut. Piatt is not expected to turvivc. Twenty were wounded, and five according to our last accounts wcic unac counted for.

Why some other 30 or 40 law Colooels were not brought into this caso at hove not learnt, but suppose tbey were not | Mr. Editor?The Important judicial question mooted in your (taper of tbr fifth Inst. to which your column* have liberally invited diacuuion, hu given rise lo the following reflection*; wliirh opposed at they ere lo high authority, are with diffidence submitted to the eye of the public In rotation to tho opinions of the governor up on this very important subject, I understand your | I dvcUra'.i3Ti to b?,that" he entertain* the opinion ! that this act (I7B7) accordi to all partem com-1 milted until payment of fine, the privilege of the1 iniolvent debtor*! and prison bound* act. Nor does he regard t'.:ii comtruetlon aiexcluding the right of the Circuit Jodgo to Imprison until lb* pnyment of the fine and costs, provided mcli or der be considered in intent and operation as a substitute for tho process provided by the act of 1787." It strikes my mind at bring very clear that the class of persons piovided for in the ebovu men* tiooed act, are not untitled to lira benefit of the prison bound* act; the former having bocn passed at a period anterior to (hut of the latter, aud ?he latter containing no clause extending the benefit of its provision* to person* taken on a capins for Ones. Person* arretted under the provision* of the act of 1*87, would only be entitled, it would seem, to the beooAl of the act of I7W, common ly called lite i usolvenfdebtor's aci. But the question which I pursued to discuss is, whether a person sentenced to fine nnd im prisonment and to be committed until the finf i* discharged, wo old be entitled, even under the lest mentioned ret, and that of 1787. to be rcleas ed as an insolvent debtor. To me it seems that he cea not It is conceded that the case soppns ed is not emhrecad either under the act of 1769, or 1788, both of th o?c acts In all their provisions relating entirely to private debtors confined on civil process. The opinion said to be entertained by his Cucllency and espoused in the editorial comments on the letter of the Attorney General, appear* te be predicated on the act of 1787 1 have great respect for any judicial opinion which emanate* from so profound a jurist, as the distin guished Individual alluded to But in my humble, conception,the Attorney Uen? ral has given a more correct exposition ??f the act in question. The clause of the net is as follows: " and inevsry ease where any line shall be Imposed by, or recovered for the use of tho state in any district, or county court, or before I justice, if the party incurring such One or forfeiture shall fail to pay down the same with the costs of prosecution, then a writ in the nature of a fieri facias shall tana, by virtue of which the sheriff or l/N deputy, shall sell, so much of the offender's estnte, real or personalis may be necessary to satisfy (he fine or forfeiture and also the costs of prosecution," Le " nnd if the sheriff or his deputy shall return on oath, that such offender refusolh to pay, or hath not any property, or not sufficient whereon to levy, then a writ of capiat ad satisfaciendum shall issue whereby he shall be committed to the common goal until llie forfeiture cods and charges be satisfied, entitled howover to the privilege* of insolvent debtors." Tim power of the judge to Imprison as a mode of punishment, and to aseroise the discretion with which Ihe law Invlsts him, as to it* duration, doe* not *eem to b* in Ihe slightest manner abridged by the provision* of this act. It doe* not con template expiatory imprisonments, but only tuch as are resortrd to as a means of coeralng the pay. ment of a specific debt; e debt which by judge ment of the court is due to the elate. It relates merely to offenders coofined in goal under re *a a process never resorted to but for the purpose of collecting * debt This proceeding, und*r the above Mentioned act I* strongly aoblayoos te the arrest of a defendant in execution, for a private debt, and the remedy afforded la similar. | But there ie no slmll'tudw between th#? arres? of an Insolvent debtor under a capias, and the com mitment el a convict to goal as a past nf his e? piatory sentence; even tho' that cooimltaieut should from ekeraistanee* be of uncertain dura, lien. 3$ i ' , Where a man is fined and ordered to stand committed nnlll the fine i* paid, such commit ment eaanot he otherwise regarded the* Ma part of the punishment. The judge, In the eiereiee of hie acknowledged discretion, might snppase that a peeooiary fine of ? eertaia amount would I* snMclen* to satisfy the end* of justice, provided sunh fine eoeld he collected Mot knowing the iiKlMtilHH df the offitnder he WsiM sentence him to this fine, end to stand rommittrd nntll H weesetlsfietf.

But I am an are of n ) provision of the common law, which would I to far ie?lrict his discretion in Imprisoning lor misdemeanors, as not to miiko its duration de> pendent upon a contingency. If the |>ower nf imprisoning as a means of pun> lihment is abused, or erroneously cuerebed. the remedy is not by au application for a ditcharjre under tin insolvent debtor's lairs, hnt tiy Hr? ap peal (ii|*erior tribunals. If a judge ahming hit discretion, tntrsrendirm his powers, arid violating his duties, should impose eiceseive fines, or improper, unutoal or cruel punithments, tho court of appeal* would exercise its corrective control over the proceedings of th<- circuit court, would arrest the judgment, and prevent its con summation. And if the punishment tho'ap'ro* prlate hi its kiod to the offence, is attended with circumstance# of millKHtlon which would rendsi it unduly severe, and yet is so far within thedis cretin ii of the judeo who imposed It, us not to warrant an interference by the court of appeal* tbe Executive h as only to attend his prerogative ot pardrn ^nd the unhappy culprit it released. If a man sentenced to stand committed till bit fine wat paid, was clearly not aide to pay, it would he a proper cat. for the interposition of theeieru tivo mercy. This it obviously in the spirit of that clause of the constitution which declares that the " executive shall take care that the laws lie faithfully executed in m<rcy " But Ireraute the {oveinor would be justified in remitting the seMence by vlituo ofhltprerog atlve, and lor the parpot# of ^eventing the ten tence ot the law from being eonvertdd'lnto an engine of oppression, it by no mean* follows tba* the offender in the case supposed would bo entitled to lilt dltcharge by motion as a matter of right under the provisions of the insolvent debtor's laws. Hi* having been sentenced to confine ment at an expiatory punishment by the order of a court competent to inflict such punishment, nnd pottesting a Inroad discretion as to itt duration, I see no f ay of defeating tho tentencc but by a pro |>er a|?pltr.atlon to a superior tribunal, or by the clemency of the governor Ihe conclusion* which I would in(Vr from the foregoing oh*ervationt urn the*e: 1 Thiit tin* potition taken In Mipport or Ihe contrary doctrine it erroneous; to wit, that the power of fining and ordering an offender to Hand cemmitted until the fine it paid, conflict* with the principle* of tbe common law. 2.
