THE MILLKDOKV1I.LK JOURNAL AND THE
'? 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

We wish not to meddle with the locnl af

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

thto question, which, tor some time past,

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

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

ceived any damage. There were attached
to the ship 143 persons?but fortunately 62

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."

of punishment, and to aseroise the discretion with
which Ihe law Invlsts him, as to it* duration, doe*

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?

control over the proceedings of th<- circuit court,
would arrest the judgment, and prevent its con
summation. And if the punishment tho'ap'ro*

circumstance# of millKHtlon which would rendsi
it unduly severe, and yet is so far within thedis

clause of the constitution which declares that
the " executive shall take care that the laws lie

But Ireraute the {oveinor would be justified
in remitting the seMence by vlituo ofhltprerog

ing to the |>endency of the tariff bill in the
I spring of last year, and the increased in
| flux of foreign goods, in anticipation of its
passage.
