statement. * >
The itiessage of the Governor of Maine has
reached us. Toward Georgia his lang nge is very
calm. The principal point in dispute to the two
men demanded, he states to be a question as to
their being fugitives from justice. The Governor
has had a correspondence with the Lieut Governor
of New Brunswick, respecting the armed occupa
tion, by two British companies, of Temiscouata
lake, in the disputed territory ; and having ascer
tained such to be the fact, he calls upon the Presi
dent of the United States for that protection from
** invasion guarantied by the Constitution. Sir John
* Harvey seems to admit such an occupation to be rti
contravention us the agreement between him and
4 Gen. >cott, but excuses himself upon the ground
that it hai taken place under t ie authorities of
Lower Canada. The expenses of the famous
Aroostook expedition, which Congress will be call
ed upon to pay, are set down as follows :

claims of members of Gen. Nelson’s Bngadp of
Georgia Volun'e-rs. to be p> acid with others here
tofore sent by you, informing me that your constiu
ents who have claims {tending, are suffering for
wantot heir mwney, and are urging you on the
subject, and reques ing me to write you fully in re
lation thereto, a letier which you raaycaure to be
published tor information
As has been exp ained to you in previous com
municatiuns, the claims of the Volunteers of the
aloresiiid Brigade e fthe Alabama Regiment, com
mend* d by Col. Snodgrass, and the Tennessee
battalion, commanded by Maj. Lauderdale, for
liis-es ol horses, & ascribed to a failure on the
United Mates to supply sufficient forage, cannot
undergo any satisth dory examination, until the ac
counts m the Qmrterm inters Department shall
have been ihuruug ly searched, and statements of
the tonga thereby shown to have l»een from time
to lime issued by the U. S., f»rthe horses ot tit
respective commands, shall have been prepared
therelrom. The work of looking through so large
a number of accoua's, and multiplicity ot vouchers,
t.s is uquireo to bs resorted to, and ot extracting
therefiom she information wanted, has been ofa
very teuioua description, necessarily demanding a
great length ol lime, and the prosecution of it has
been unavoidably uubjeci to continual iutenuptions
in attending to the rna.-s ofurgent current business
of the office in thir branch of its duties Ad van>age
lias been taken ot every opportunity and the utmost
exertions have been used to bring the work to a
close, but which ii. has not yet been tourd practi
cable to do. Considerable progress therein has
been nuade, nearly ail the accounts having been
k arched ; but to complete ihe searches, and to re
d .ce the inturmaiion collected to an available lorm
will need funhe.* lime. No avoidable oelay in
finishing the statements, will arise , nor after they
shall be lit readiness, in looking up and examining
the claims in due lourse, and commu.,ic<*.ting the
result to the parti es concerned.

Mercantiie Character.— \v e have been fa

the Mercantile Library Company of Philadelphia

impression of its character abroad. Are they just,
faithful, true to their engagements, obedient to the
principle of sound morality, prudent, industrious,
in a word, wi>e in true wisdom, which teaches to
seek lawful ends by lawful and honorable means,
and to spurn ail others, however tempting; are they
such, they give a good name to their country and
to their city, and impart thef agiancc of their well
earned reputation to all around them. The very

unhappily, be the reverse of a;l this —faith ess,,
heedless, rash, eager in the pursuit oi gain;-and re
gardless of the methods of reaching it, they dishon

it the odium of their own misconduct. Nor will
such misconduct fail to porion and corrupt the com

commercial class must lead to dishonesty and trick,
in those who deal with them. If the sel er employ

will resort to stratagem and art in self-defence, un

Literary Messenger.
T. W. White, respectfully informs the patrons
of the “Southern Literary Messenger and the
public generally, that the issue of the next No. of
that periodical is necessarily delayed beyond the
usual time of publication. The recent holidays, |
and a damage which has occurred to the pres son j
which the .Viessengci is struck oil', have retarded 1
the business of his office. He wou.d further n len- j
i tion. that the publishing of an important essay up
on the “Rights of the Slaveholding States, and I the
owners of slave property, under ibe Constitu .tion I
of the United Mates,” from the pen of Con way j
Robinson, Esq., of this city, has also postpone! I the
appearance of the Messenger. He believes, I iow
ever, that the value and inteiest of this paper will
fully aione for the delay. Being anxious to pre
sent the whole essay at the same time to the pub- J
lie, and aware that the issue of his periodical w ould
be late for the month of January, he has conch jded
to publish the January and February number s to
gether His patrons wll!, therefore, receit e a
double number , or the numbers for two monthi j un
der one cover The publisher flatters himself, that
both in typographical and literary excellence ■, the
two coming numbers will equal, if not exceed., any
that he has ever given to the public. Beside s the
important essay already mentioned, and w hich
possesses such a peculiar interest at the pre sent
time, they will contain a notice of the recen t at
tack unon Dr. Channing in the Edinburgh Rev dew,
from the pen of a Baltimore.in. A second f >apcr
upon theSrni'hsonian Institute. San Marino, from
the pen of H. T. Tuckermm, Esq.; The Worthies
of Virginia; Gleanings from New England Hist ory;
Rights of Authors; Moral and Mental Portraits,
No. I, being a notice of Wiliam Cullen Bry ant;
Isabelle de Castros,a talc of Spanish liomancie; a
humorous story, entitled Mrs, Shooter’s Part y a
sketch of the character of Lord Byron; An inci
dent of the War of 1812-M4—a true stor-; Sii rnn’s
Early Lays, No. II; Reminiscences of the Bi itish
at Bollmgbrook; Homines Apud Infernos; a p oeti
cal article, entitled Iran, or the Bride of the F alien
Star; and an elaborate and critical notice of : vlur
raj s 1 ravels, from the pen of an accompli shed
scholar; interesting Sketch of Canova, trans) ated
from the Italian, by M. Morgan, M. D., Surgeo n U.
S. Navy. Besides several notices of new pub lica
tions. r
He trust.' that this will furnish a satisfai Tory
apology for his delay; and that the next volun ae of
the Messenger will continue to warrant the p atro
nage and commendation which have been he reto
forc kindly bestowed upon it.
T. W. W. calculates to issue this double nu mber
of the Messenger on or before the Ist day of Feb

Advice to Young Men.
IT MATTHEW CARET.
Shun the despicable character of a political
brawler. But let n >thing. except being bed-rid
den, prevent you from exercising that inestimable
privilege, the elective franchise. Never disgrace
yourself by an absence from the polls, under the
unjustifiable, fallacious plea, that your single vote
is oi no consequence. Some of the most impor
tant measures of legislative bodies, here and else
where, have been carried by majorities of one,
two, or three.
The vote on the abdication of James 11. and the
elevation of William and Ma y to the throne of
Great Britain was carried by a majority of (wo—
-51 to 49! ! Let this be an unceasing warning to
you of the importance of a vote or two. Never
have lo reproach yourself, that a profligate man
has been elected or a bad measure adopted through
your absence from this sacred duty.

A fuu fratußnad Democrat. —"The Unton
eulogises Mr. Pickens of S. Ca"olina. as a ‘full
feathered democrat.’ His evidence, therefore
against the party in power cannot be controvert
ed. Three years ago, he thus spoke of it on the
floor of Congress:
i “Sir,” said Mr. Pickens, “sycophancy and ser
vility have taken the place of all the heroic and
manly virtues. The rooks, together with obscene
b rds, have pe r ched themselves in the high plaess
of the land, and we sit here beneath surrounded
daily with their filth and corruption.”
“This gentleman,” [Mr. Cambrelengj said Mr.
Pickens, “has said this nation had been convert
ed into a great gambling house. He asked, who
had brought it to this condition 1 The party
now in power—a viler, a more degraded, a wore
corrupt set of WRETCHES never lived. Ihe
contempt of all plodges, man-worshipping, office
seeking. Arc. had wrought a distinct change in
the principles of this gentleman.’
MARRIED,
On the loth inst., at the residence of Jesse P-

Ct tton.— Arrived since the 3d inst., of Louisiana
• and Mississippi 12471 bales; Tennessee and North
Alabama. 687 ; Arkansas 217; Mobile, 17 ; Hori
da, 16; Texas, 25; together, 13433 bales. Cleared
in the same time, for Liverpool, 1 4333 bales ; Glas
gow, 2!»44 ; Havre, 4341 ; Hamburg, 1209; Trieste,
j 166 ; Havana, 33s ; other foreign ports, 280; New
York, 535 ; Boston, 1433; Providence, 393; to
gether, 26972 bales—making a reduction in stock
of 13539 bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive o»
all on shipboard, not cleared on the 7th inst., a»>
stock of 108036 bales.
In our report of Saturday morning last, we stated
that the Cotton market exhibited a drooping appear
ance at the time our inquiries terminated on the
evening previous, but the transactions of that day,
which amounted to about 30- 0 bales, did not show
any further material change in prices.
By Sunday’s mail we were put in possession of
advices from Liverpool to the 2 d, and from Havre
to the 17th November, brought to New i ork by
the packet ship South America. The transactions
in Cotton at Liverpool so a few days subsequent
to the 16th, (the date of our former advices,) are
repoited as having been rather extensive, with an
improvement of $ to sd. per lb.; but afterwards,
the demand having considerably subsided, prices
went back to their former po-ition —say 7$ a
for fair. At Havre there had been a to!erab*y fair
business doing in Cotton, but, owing to the dull
state of trade generally, and to the doubts enter
tained by most importers in regard to the future
course of business, prices had receded from 2 to 3
centimes.
These accounts, so far as we can learn, have had
no perceptible effect on our market. The sales ot
Monday, which reached to fully 7500 bales, were
at undevialing prices, as were those of yesterday,
which however d'd not amount to more than IUUO
bales. The supply of the finer grades of Cotton
is but small at present, and the stock of all sorts
on sale is moderate for the season. The sales of
the three days are about 12000 bales, which we
notice as follows, viz: 70 bales Louisiana and
Mississippi at 8$ cents ; 21 at 8 ; 14 at S£; 412 at
9$ ; 212 at 8; 107 at 8$; 36 at 6$ ;58 at 75*369

Sugar. — Louisiana. —The market has been un
usually dull for the last few days, and only very
limited sales have been made from the Levee, at
our previous quotations—say 4 a 5$ cents ; though
we may remark that only a very choice article will
command our latter figures. We can learn of no
transactions on Plantation.
Havana Sugars are without change in prices,
and almost without demand.
Molasses. —The demand is very limited for par
cels from the Levee, and prices have still further
given way. We now quote at 21 a 22 cents per
gallon. We cannot learn that there is any thing
of importance doing on Plantation. Planters pro
pose to sell large parcels at 17 cents, but buyers—
particularly those for the Northern markets—de
c.ine payii g over 15 a 16.
Bacon. — t here has been a considerable addition
to the stuck, within the last few days, but prices
are without change. We still quote Canvassed
Hams lU$ all ; Sides 7$ a8; Shoulders 6 a 7 els.
The demand however,con inues extremely’ limited
and the rates for all descriptions aie tending down
ward.
Flour. —-Further supp'ies to the amount of some
500 U to 6000 barrels have come in, since our last,
by steamboats and flatboats; principally by the
latter conveyance. These are the earliest boats of
the fleet known to be on the way; and, although
there has been some litt.e exp ». t demmd, yet the
rather large receipts, and the expectation that the
stock will be considerably augmented in a few
days,have caused a further decline in prices. We
now quote Superfine at $5,50 a 5,75, with a dull
market.
H hiskey. —The demand for this article is/ex
tremely inactive, and, although the receipts are
limited, prices have given way. We now quote
Cincinnati ivecti.ed at 41 a 42 cents per gallon
i here is still some Northern in market, which may’
be bought at 40 cents.
