1 r. a . Buren to the supp irt of our friends ; and I
g. xeum a triumphant vmdicaiion from the changes,
uy giving him the support of the Biate tor the se- |
comi office in the gilt of the American people.
[Now, we ask the reader to mark well the fore
g >ing paragraph, and see how well it comports with
t ie facts, as attested by the history* of those times.
It is a well-known fact that in 1524, the electors
for President and \ ice President were elected by
the Legislature of Georgii, and every man who
recollects any thing of that contest, will not hesi
tate to say, that there was no candidate in nomina
tion for Vice President. The whole contest in
Georgia was confined to the canvass for President, j
and every citizen of Georgia who is familiar with
tint contest will recollect with what astonishment
the announcement was received that the Electors
had votea for Mr. Van Buren. And we now ven
ture the assertion that the honorable gentleman,
0 any of his friends, cannot find a single file of a
newspaper in the State that ever urged Mr. Van
Buren as a proper person for the office during the
canvass. So much, then, fur the honorable gentle •
man’s efforts in that struggle in which he htd so
many memorable and desperate conflicts ! The
t ruth is too plain, the gentleman shoots at random.
It would appear needless to add another word,
to show the character of this address, and his ef
forts to impose upon the people of Georgia. We
might here rest the case upon that well known nPe
of evidence, tint where a witness has been dis
credited in one instance he is not to be credited in
another. And it will apply* with great force to
the succeeding part of this address. The gentle
man seems to entertain great fears that he shall
not be able to do Mr. Van Buren justice, and cer-
think his fears were well founded. We
shall, therefore, as we do not desire to weary the
patience of our readers with our comments, pass
over rapidly the other points which claim our at
tention. He tells you that he voted for Mr. Van
Buren in lb2S and 1532 for Vice President, does he
t.-ll you in his faint effort to exhibit his marvelous
consistency in supporting him now, for whom he
voted for President in 1836. Does he tell you any
thing of a Speech delivered by him in the Georgia
Legislature in 1835, in which he denounced 3lr.
Van Buren as one of the most corrupt, designing
politicians in this country* ? Doe« he tell you that,
he in common with the party* with which he then
acted, urged as reasons why Mr. Van Buren should
not be supported by the .South, the very acts which
he now struggles so hard to palliate ? viz: his
vote against Missouri, his vote against slavery* in
Florida, and his vote in favor of free negroes vo
ting in all elections. Does he tell you these things,
No not a word of them. What then are the con
cisions to which you must come in relation to the
Hon. gentleman ? They are clear, either that the
Judge acted with insincerity in 15360 r ISiO. But
he tells you that General Harrison refuses to make
his opinions known on the subject of abolition,
what say* you reader who have read the evidence to
which we have referred, we mean his speeches and
letters, the last of which was xvritten this year.
Judge Colquitt also tells you that Mr. Van Buren,
seeks no concealment. Does he tell you that Mr.
Van Buren believes that Congress has the Consti
tutional power to abolish slavery in the District of
Columbia, while Gen. Harrison openly* declares it
is not Constitutional, —No not a word of all these
things is to be found in this “ unvarnished tale"
and yet they are all true, still the gentleman has
not suppressed tr nth.”
Again, —the gentleman gives you a long chapter
on the subject of Abolition petitions and resolu
tions in Congress ; and on this subject we wish the
reader to examine him closely, and see if he cannot !
discover the character of a petty-jury lawyer j
standing out in every line. He tells you that a
largo number of petitions were presented to Con
gress. Does he tel! you by whom they were pre
sented, and how many by each man ? Oh, no ; this
statement would not suit his “ unvarnished tale" !
Such a developement would show that John Quincy*
Adams and Slade had presented quite all of the
petitions presented by Whigs. But again he
shows you the votes on various resolutions, and to
the unsuspecting man this all seems very fair ; but
if you vv ill scan it closely*, you will perceive that
he only tells you on those questions who voted |
from the non slaveholding Stales, at one time in I
the affirmative, and at another time in the nega
tive, as bc>t suits the great object of his “unvar
nished tale ” Why uiu he not tell you how
many Whigs and Democrats, as he styles them*
x oted in the affirmative and negative on each reso- ,
lution ? Let him answer these questions to his !
constituents. He also tells you something about
Mr. Pinckney’s and Mr. Atherton’s lesolutions. —
He dots not tell you that Mr. Pinckney was de
nounced for these very resolutions by* the whole
party opposed to the administration at the South,
among whom was Judge Colquitt; and such was i
the indignation of his immediate constituents, that
he was defeated at the next election, and is now*
what was then predicted of him, a Van Buren man.
He does not tell you that the whole party opposed
to the administration at the South, denounced also
the resolutions of Mr. Atherton as a trick on the 1
part of the administration party to place Southern
men opposed to the ad ministration in an erroneous
position. Oh, no ; none of these things has the
gentleman told you, yet they are all true ; and still
the gentleman would have you believe that his is
an “ unvarnished tale" !
The sophistry displayed through all that portion !
of his address, is equally apparent in his notice of
tic action of the Legislatures, and his gliding over
Mr. Van Burea’s cupport of the Force Bill. We
should take great pleasure in giving place to docu- |
mentarr evidence, to exhibit still more glaringly, j
the unfairness of this portion of the t ircu ar, but it
would occupy too much space in one paper. We
have therefore contented ourself with a bare sug
gestion of its character, an i leave the int ?lligcn
leader to investigate for himself.]

Arrival of tuk British Queen.
The Hr. steam packet British Queen Cap*
Roberts, arrived at New York on .Saturday last’
in thirteen days andclcveu hours passage, brin**-
London dates to the Ist instant, Liverpool to
3bth and Pans to the 28lh ultimo, all inclusive.
By this arrival, we received our regular files of
foreign papers; but have availed ourselves princi
pally of selections from the New York Journals,
i from which we have made copious extracts.
The news, altogether, is favorable, and cal
culated, wc think, to restore confidence in the
mercantile community The Cotton market at
Liverpool, on the 24th, advanced an right to Jd.,
j °n the 28th receded an eighth ; but the market at
the latest date was fii m, and appearances indicated
j l h a ( it was likely so to remain. There had also
! been a revival of trade in the manufacturing dis
tricts, and the prices of Cotton were so low as to
induce manufacturers to purchase freely, with the
view of laying in their stocks. In Havre, too.
Cotton had taken a rise, and considerable busi
ness bad been transacted at an advance of la2f.,
but, as at Liverpool, a falling oti was experienced
at the last dates, while there was no want of con
fidence exhibited.
The London money market was in a healthv
state, and American securities were in better re
quest than at previous advices.
The Boundary Question, will, it is supposed,
he amicably adjusted. Among our extracts, will
be found, several articles on this subject, copied
from English papers. The New-York Journal
of Commerce remarks: “It is with heart, felt
satisfaction we find that the delicate and difficult
question of our Northeastern Boundary, is, in ail
probability, adjusted. It appears, that the’award
of the King of the Netherlands, which made the
river Bt. John s, the boundary between the two
countries, is to oe the basis ot the new arrange
ment, and that as an indemnity to Maine, for any
supposed rights she may possess to land north of
the B*t. John’s, the British Government is to pay
her £200,000, or about half a million of dollars.
Most sincerely do we rejoice in this compromise,
—not so much because it is, or is not, a good bar
gain in itself, as because it removes a bone of con.
tention which has long existed, and the light o
which each party has claimed with so mu<Th
confidence, that it was impossible to say when
or how the affair could be amicably adjusted.
Doubtless despatches have come forward r>y
the British Queen, which will apprise our
Government of the precise posture of the
negociation; but we trust it will be found not
far different from what is indicated above. In
any view of the case, all danger of a war, grow
ing out of this protracted controversy, is at an
end. Had we a Tory Administration to deal
with, the case might be different,”
The Queen had aline time on her last out
ward trip. She sailed from New York at 2P. M.,
on the Ist of April, and arrived at Portsmouth
at 5 A. M. of the 15th. making her run in 14
days 7 hours. The passengers addressed a com
plimentary letter to Uapt. Roberts, before they
parted at Portsmouth.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Rail Road Company has effected a loan in Eu
rope sufficient lo pay all demands against it.
The North American Trust and Banking Co.
have news of further sales of American stocks
on their occounts. lo the amount of §750,000.
Lnited States Bank slock was quoted in Lon
don on the 24th at £ls.
The duty on Grain had fallen, but it was be
lieved the next six weeks it would go up again.
Flour had declined, and the prospects of the ap
proaching crop was good.
Mr. Levis, the absconding Cashier of the
Schuylkill Bank, had been arrested at Paris. A
passenger of that name is reported by the Queen,
whether the same individual or not is not known.
The weather in England continued to be high
ly favorable to the grain crops.
The news is stated to have had but little effect
on the stock market in New Y~ork.
Correspondence of N Y. Commercial Advertiser.
Havre, April 29.
All traces of excitement recently prevalent in
our cotton market have entirely disappeared, and
buyers seem reluctant to continue operations at
present rates. 'The demand has been very slack
today, and we have no transactions of special in
terest to relate.
The market is quite dull for all other Ameri
can articles. Wheat looks downward.
No arrival to-day.
P. S. A sale of 1014 bales Mobile, about Liv
erpool fair, has just been made at 83f. for home
use.
Correspondence oj N Y Journal of Commerce.
Havre. April 29.
There has been quite a change for the better
during the last week in Cotton, and prices have
advanced 2 a 4c. almost wholly on the demand
from the spinners, though their business is not
represented as materially better than it has been.
The sales of this month are 33.959 bales, and the
arrivals 59,959 bales, and prices are now 2 a 3c.
higher at the beginning of the month in the ordin
ary and middling sorts, while superior qualities
have changed but little; present prices New Or
leans 67,50 a 103; Mobile 67,50 a 95 ; Uplands
67,50 a 92,50.
Liverpool, April 28.
To-day’s demand for cotton has been moder
ate —only 2500 bags having been disposed of to
the trade. Holders are willing sellers of the com
mon and middling qualities as American at Jd
per lb. decline on Fnday’s prices, and the market
generally is much better supplied with all qualities
at rather low rates.
April 29.
At the decline of Jd per lb. on Friday last, the
cotton market is steady. The sales of the day
amount to 4000 bags, of which speculators have
taken 500 American. Holders continue to offer
freely of the common and middling qualities of
A meiican.
April 29.
After our last circular of the 14th inst. per
Great Western, the demand for Cotton subse
quently became more active and extensive, and
up to the 23d inst. prices had advanced J a Jd
per lb. but in the last six days the market has
gradually became heavy and languid, until the
above advance has been lost or nearly so, the
rates now current being scarcely a shade better
than on the 14th inst. and the complexion of the ;
market much the same. The commencement of i
the improvement above noticed arose Irom an in- ;
creased demand for yarns, and a further impulse
was given by the receipt on the 18th inst. on the !
| Official Correspondence at Washington on the
Boundary Question, which it was thought indu
ced the consumers to buy more freely. The lit- \
tie uneasiness on this question, however, seem*
to have passed away in a great measure, and the i
| demand for goods and yarns at Manchester hav- !
ing rather fallen off the last few days, is sufficient
to account lor the re-action in our market, par
ticularly as the late advices from the United States
still give very large estimates of the crop, and
hold out no expectation of an early revival of de
mand for goods from that quarter. The sales for
the week ended 16lh inst. were 27,300 bales, and i
for that ended 24th inst. they were 34,780 bales.
About 8000 bales were taken on speculation. In |
the last four days the business is estimated at
13,000 (tales. The speculative demand is nearly
suspended, but the consumers have bought rath
cr more ficcly to-day than the two preceding
days.
April 30.
Cation. — Prices remain without alteration.
There was a large quantity of cotton offering tor
sa|e, but the market was quite sfeadv, and a some

PR SPECTI’S OF
THE REFORMER.
The undersigned propose to publish in Augusta,
Ga. a weekly paper, to be entitled The Reformer,
of extra imperial size, from the 10th of May to
the 10th of November next, for One Dollar in
advance. As its name indicates-, it will be devoted
exclusively to the cause of Reform, the elevation
of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio, for
President, and JOHN TYjuER, of Virginia, for
A ice President, and the subversion of the present
Administration, —the necessity of reform in which
is becoming every day more and more apparent.—
It wiil observe a mild, dignified tone, and address
itself to the common sense of every class of citi
zens, for whoso benefit it is designed.
Phis Prospectus is issued under the impression
that the friends of reform will make a united and
zealous effort to give the paper a general circula
tion, in short to send it to the house of every man
who reads. The People want light, and if our
friends will aid us in our work, we shall be able to
counteract the thousand calumnies of the Van
Buren presses, and carry the “war into Africa.”
In the language of a distinguished co-worker, “AU
we ask is to be heard by the people. It is for
them w’e speak, and if we can get a hearing, we
have no fears of the result,” even in Georgia. —
“The people will vindicate their wrongs, and hurl
their oppressors from office.”
We ask the press throughout this and the ad
joining States, to insert our Prospectus, and we
especially invoke the friends of the cause to be
j vigilant in procuring subscribers and forward their
j names by mail as early as possible.
The paper will contain nothing but leading mat
i ter, being entirely free from all advertisements,
and is placed at so low a price as to bring it within
the means of every man.
