That a strict ami wise economy, in the dis bursement of the ou -llc money, be steadily enl'or- f L e ,' ; and that, to that end, all useless establish ments, all unnecessary offices and places, foreign art d domestic, and all extravagance, either in the collection or the expenditure of the public revenue, abolished and repressed. I have not time o dwell on details in the appli cation of this principle. I will say that a pruning knife, long, broad and sharp, should be applied to every department of the Government. There is abundant scope for honest and skilfulsurgery. The annual expenditure may, in reas nable time, be brought down from its present amount of about forty millions to near one third of that sum. sih. The several Mates have made such great and gratifying p.ogress in their respective systems of Internal Improvements, and have been so aided by the distribution under tiie deposite act, that in future, the erection of new roads and canals should be left to them with such further aid only from the General Government a-. they would derive from the payment or the last instalment under that act, from an absolute iclinqu shment of the right ol Congress to call upon them to relund the previous instalments, and from their equal and just quotas, to be received by a future distribution of the nett proceeds from the sales of the public lands. And 6d». That tiie right to slave property, be ing guarantied by the Constitution, and recognized .is one of the compromises incorporated in tnat in strument by our ancestors, should be left where the Constitution has placed it, undisturbed and uaagitated by Congress. These, fellow-citizens, are views both of the structure of the government and of its administra tion, which appear to me worthy of commanding the grave attention of the public and its new s?r viais. Although, I repeat, 1 have neither authori ty nor purpose to commit any body else, I believe most, if net all of them, are entertained by the po litical friends with whom 1 have acted. Whether the salutary reforms which they include will be effected or considered, depends upon the issue of that great struggle which is now going on through- j out the country. This contest has had no parallel » since the period of the revolution. In both in- I stances there is a similarity of object. That was ■ to achieve, this to preserve the liberties of the country- Let us catch the spirit which animated, and imitate the virtues which adorned our noble ancestors. Their devotion, their constancy, their untiring activity, their perse verai.ee, their indomi table resolution, their sacrifices, their valor! If they fought for liberty or death, in the memorable language of one of the most illustrious of them, let us never forget that the prize now at hazard is liberty or slavery. We should be encouraged by the fact that the contest, to the success of which they so'emnly pledged their fortunes, their lives, and their sacred honor, was far more unequal than that in which we are engaged. But, on the other hand, let us cautiously guard against too much confidence. History and experience prove that more has been lost oy s II confidence and contempt of enemies, than won by skill and courage. Our opponents are powerful in numbers, and in organi zation, active, insidious, possessed of ample means, and wholly unscrupulous in the use of them. They count upon success by the use of two words. De mocracy and Federalism —Democracy, which, in violation of all truth, they appropriate to them selves, and Federalism, which in violation of all justice, they apply to us. And allow me to conjure you not to suffer your selves to be diverted, deceived or dis ouiaged by the false rumors which will be industriously circu lated between the present lime and the period of the election by our opponents. They will put thrift forth in every variety, and without number, ft the most imposing forms —certified or sworn to by conspicuous names. They will biag, they will toast, they will threaten, Reg rdless of all these arts, let us keep steadily and faithfully and fear lessly at work. But if the opposition perform its whole duty; if every member of it acts as, in tiie celebrated bat tle of Lord Nelson, if the eyes of the whole nation ’.veie fixed on him, and as if on his sole exertions depended the issue of the day, I sincerely believe that at least twenty of the States of the Union wjll unite in the glorious work of the salvation of the Constitution and the redemption of the country. Friends and fellow-citizens, 1 have detained you too long. Accept my cordial thanks and profound acknowledgements for the honors of this day, and for your feelings of attachment and confidence to wards me, and allow me, in conclusion, to propose a sentiment: Hanover County—lt was the first, in the com mencement of the Revolution, to raise its aims, I under the lead of Patrick Henry, in defence of ' American liberty ; it will be the last to prove false j or recreant to the holy cause.

Thu sales have been exceedingly small, without any material change in rates from those current in our last report. The receipts of Cotton are light, buyers are few, and ask a still further reduction in price, whilst holders do not .'how anv desire to make any further concession.

Edited by D. G. Lotting-, Washington , Georgia. IN offering a new Journal to the public for pa tronage, it is customary and proper to set forth in a prospectus, the principles which its conduc tors intend to support, and to give such pledges as to its management that its patrons may not at any future time find themselves deceived or disappoint ed in its course. And first, as to our political creed. Believing that there is at present i crisis in our national af fairs, which requires the hearty and unremitting exertions of every true lover of his country to preserve it from the destruction that menaces it that a powerful and fatal influence is now exerted upon our institutions oy ambitious and unprinci pled politicians; that the Constitution, that safe guard of our liberties, is in danger from their ma chinations, and that the State Rights doctrines and the principles of the revolutionary patriots only, can preserve it inviolate, we shall give our unde viating support to those doctrines. Our motto shall be “Principles and Men;’’ therefore, of the prominent candidates for the Presidency, now be fore the people, wc choose those for our support who we believe will carry out State Right* mea sures, viz: General WILLIAM HENRY HAR RISON and JOHN TY LER, gentlemen whom even their enemies allow lo be true patriots and hones men. As the title of our journal indicates, we shall devote much of its columns to the interests of Agriculture. We shall endeavor to give to the Planter the latest and best information of the im provements, now almost daily taking place in his business. We are aware that in the strife of party, agriculture, the foundation on which society rests, has been too much neglected by the press, and that some “Reform” is needed in this respect. All the aid in our power shall given to the cause of literature, and we shall endeavor to ren der the Gazette as interesting as possible to every class of readers.
