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.] (Conclusion to-morrow.) \ The following gentlemen have been appointcdDi. 1 CCtors of the Georgia Rail Road and Banking Company’s Branch in this city: Hays Bowdre, Egbert B.

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 what extensive business was transacted, 5000 bags having changed hands.

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.
