THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN. The Presidency—General Scott. Important Debate in the Sen ate. Mr. Man^ura said that he had no speech to make, in the ordinary sense of the term. He desired to make a few remarks on some few points,'which, in fact, mainly referred to his own personal position, which he was well aware was of little consequence to any body; although self was a topic on which men were supposed to be able to speak flu ently. It was known to the Senate that daring the past winter his health had been deci dedly indifferent and at best always vary ing. He had not participated in the bu siness of the Senate except very slightly, and still less had he participated in any ar rangements or intrigues touching the Presidential election, Yet he found, hum ble an individual as he was, that he was made the subject of newspaper speculation and comment. It had been his' habit throughout life that on all questions of this character to be distinctly understood ; and he desired to explain himself perfectly, that hereafter no misunderstanding may take place. In regard to the next Presidential election, he should very probably stand prepared to support the nominee of the Whig Convention. He professed to be a party man, and should act upon those prin ciples which he preferred. He should yield, as he was called upon to do four years ago, against his judgment, and a- gainst all his inclinations, to support the person chosen as the nominee. But, while ne should probably do this, he had his pre ference now, as he had four year ago. That preference implied no dereliction of princi ple upon his part, nor any departure from or modification whatsoever, of the princi ples that he had steadily maintained for now nearly thirty years, in both branhces of the Natioual Legislature. He knew, if he should go in a particular direction, that; appeared in New York Herald. One ap- there were conservatives of what was es- j peared in the paper of last Sunday; that teemed the peculier institution of the South j article which related to him was founded in both North and South, who imagined j upon a mistake. He had not attended the that a man was unfaithful to them, was un-. (whig) causes spoken of, nor was he under 'true to them, it he did not happen to tread an y pledge to abide by the determination in the path indicated by them. He was; 0 f that caucus. His position was well old enough, if not wise enough, to act upon . known three years ago. He would support the suggestions of his own understanding; no raan w 1j 0 would uot openly, distinctly, and wise or unwise, he should probably do a nd honestly declare his intention to sup- 60 without fear, favor, or affeetion—reward | p Qr t the Compromise. And he now de- or hope of reward—unintimidated by pow- c ] a red that he would act with no party who er, unseduced by the blandishments of flat- will not pledge itself to oppose the opening tery. In expressing the preference which again of the agitation on these subjects, of he entertained, he knew that he should! which the Compromise was a settlement. this people happy, prosperous, and glorious.

He then referred to the attempts which had been made to crip ple and damage the cause of General Scott by allying him with Freesoilers and Abo litionists. This he declared could not be done. No Freesoiler in the country could calculate upon his becoming an instrument of that party. He could never be made the instrument of faction. North or South. He believed he was the only Whig in the Union who had any chance of election to the Presidency. He again referred to the interest taken by General Scott in the passage of the Com promise. He alluded also and gave great credit to Mr. Cass for his exertions on the Committee of Thirteen; and, in reference to the probable contest between the two for the Presidency, was satisfied the former would obtain another victory like those gained at Cherubusco, Chepultepec, and all other battle fields in which he had ta ken a part. He thought that he could satisfy the peo pie of North Carolina that their preference for the present President was not more wisely than if had been given to General Scott. He again repeated the ^rounds upon which he considered General Scott as preferable as a candidate than any of the other gentlemen who had been named for the office. Scott was his first choice, and if he was notnominated, then he would sup port the nominee of the convention. Mr. Dawson made a personal explanation with respect to two editorial articles which differ from the constituency he represented; still he could not for that reason abandon ! He would not support any man who will not declare a determination to adhere to what, in his judgment, he should think ; a nd observe strictly the finality of the Com- was proper and right.

Carolina whether he was authorized to say harshly upon the ears of the friends of the j that General Scott approved the Fugitive Administration here, as well as in North Carolina. But bis duty was to speak the truth, and the mature confections of his judgment. But he thought there . was a man who upon this subject could present as clean a bill of health as any other one. That man was Winfield Scott. General Scott was his first choice for the presidency, and if he should be the nominee of the Whig party, he had little fear of the result, how hard it was for him—without patron age. without official influence—to get the nomination against the power of the Ad ministration, which wields in its support the influence of one hundred thousand of ficeholders and their friends, amounting altogether to perhaps a half miliion of sup porters. If the Administration should use unscrupulously this power, it would be, he knew, almost impossible to obtain a nomi nation against it. But he knew that the Slave law as it had passed; and whether, if elected, he would execute it as it had been executed by the present President; and whether he would oppose all efforts or at tempts to repeal or modify it ? Mr. Mangum said that he had had no conversation with General Scott on the subject of the Compromise since the time when the Omnibus was pending. He was not authorized to say that General Scott ap- He *lTnew P roved °f ad t ^ ie features of all the several acts comprising the Compromise. Mr. Gwin said the answer was just what he expected. The gentleman was not au thorized to say that General Scott would execute the Fugitive Slave law as it had been executed by the President; nor that he would oppose its repeal or modification. Mr. Mangum said that no President could be elected who, without becoming perjured could refuse io execute all the laws of the United States. If General Scott should resentitives; and the business of of Gov ernment sink in dignity to a low level. This downward progress has been going on for some time past. The country takes note of it. How it is to be remied we do not profess to know—perhaps the evil, by the manifestation of its own enmity, will after a while cure itself. There teems to be no oth er gronnd of hope. The Whig Cancas in Washing ton. The Baltimore Sun of Wednesday has a full telegraph account of the Camus pro ceedings. A very exciting discussion took place on the resolutions declaring the finality oflhe Compromise. The caucus adjourned at eleven o’clock at night. It was determined to hold the Whig National Convention at Bal timore on the 17th of June. The following were the proceedings previous to the vote on the Convention: Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, offered the res olutions introduced by him at the first meet ing of the Whig Caucus. Mr. Stanly contended that they were out of order, and the chairman sustained his objection. After a discussion, principally between Messrs. Marshal and Sranly, the decision of the chair was sustained--yeas 45, nays 18. Mr. Marshal said as the chair had decided the Compromise principle of the Whig ad ministration out of order, the caucus was no place for a Whig to remain and then with drew. The negative vote against the decision of the chair were Southern men, except Stanly, Morehead, McCullough, and two Kentuck ians. Among the affirmatives were Fowler, Wade, Campbell, Sackett, Schoolcraft, and others. The attendance was rather thin, a num ber of Southern members and some of Mr. Webster’s friends being absent. W'esteru Eloquence Fellow Citizens: I didn,t come here to m ake a speech at this time, but only jest to extinguish myself as a canidate, Gentlemen, I am the floating canidate for the super fluous district, and I onlv want to make a few remarks at this time. A good many ofycu, gentlemen, has never seen me before and I merely want to state my views upon the question to be agitated—Gent!men, I was born in the county of Sullivan, and fotched up in Knox, with our parentage; and if it hadn’t been for the goodness of God, and several other gentlemen, who took me, when but an orphan boy of twen ty-five years of age and gin me an edecation I might have been as ignorent as the com mon people or even you, gentlemen. Gentlemen, my father was a patriarch of the Revolution, and I am a patriarch, Gen- men, ray father stained the walls of America with his blood; and when Gen. Jackson kil led the iujins, at Orleans, I waded up to my knees in mud. Gentlemen Lamoposed tonul- ification. Gentlemen, I would rather be a gal ipot tlave, than be a nulifier. Gentlemen I ha nt got time to give you my views now, butl’llcallon you agin in a few days. But, gentlemen, there is a sort of bigbugs that is trying to put me down but I defy ’em, gentlemen, I hope to be delivered out of the hands of my enemies as Moses was delivered out of the bands of the bulrushed.

We closed our weekly review 7 of the market on the 17th inst., under the influence of the America's foreign advices to the 3rd, w'hich checked the demand that had previously exis ted here, and the sales effected being two light to tell their influence on this market. We quo ted Middling Fair at 8 1-4 cents. On Saturday, the market opened with a good inquiry, when holders again became stiff in tlieir asking rates; and at the close of business, we could perceive no difference in prices from those paid previous to the receipt of the Amer ica's accounts. The sales that day were 841 bales. On Monday, only a moderate demand existed, which resulted in the sale of 535 bales at former rates. On Tuesday, the market was dull, with sales of only 481 bales. That eve ning, we received four days later news from Europe, by the Arctic, reporting the Liverpool m f‘:et, ending the 7th, dull, with sales of 18,- 000 bales for the four days. Although these accounts were somewhat unfavorable, the mar ket opened, on Wednesday, with a brisk de mand, and at the close of business, the sales reached 1,395 bales, holders having realized on all Cottons over fair fully an 1-8 to 1-4 ct. ad vance'. On Thursday morning, three days la ter accounts from Liverpool, by the Asia, were published, which showed that the dullness in the foreign market had increased, but the de mand was too limited to test the transactions. This news like the preceeding accounts, did not interfere either with the firmness of hol ders or check the demand, and the sales that has reached 811 bales, at very full prices. The market yesterday, (Friday) was inactive there being few buyers in attendance; and, as the demand was for the finer qualities, which are scarce, the sales of the day reached only 85 bales, aiz: 8 at 7 1-4; 6 at 7 3-4; 10 at 7 7-8; and 61 at 8 cents. The foreign news by the three last steamers, noting a decline in the Liverpool market, had no influence here. On the contrary, in conse quence of the light stock on sale, the market has advanced during the past week, as will be seen by the following quotations, j Ordinary to Good Ordinary 6 3-4 a 7 1-4 Middling to Good Middling 7 5-8 a 8 j Middling Fair 8 1 -4 a 8 3-8 1 Fair to Fully Fair 8 1-2 a 8 3-8 The total sales of the week amount to 4,151 Catlla for Sale.

In this particular, his own sentiments and those of General Scott accorded entirely. He was national in his feelings. He desired no triumph by the North over the South, or the South over the North. He desired the settlement to be upon broad natioual grounds. He then pointed out the objections to making an approval of the whole of the Compromise acts as part of any platform. He alluded to the personal merits and qualifications of General Seotfc suiting him for the Presidency. He said that it was not the highest ability that was required in the civil governor; it would be unfortunate for the world ifit were so, and particularly unfortuqgto for this American world. But right intentions, a sound heart, steadiness of purpose, and good common sense in the ruler, was all that was necessary to make ed, and the country could well afford to pay double wages to honorable members, or the sake of being secured from the chance of to seD( j some corn by vou.” their doing mischief. Is is no new discovery, and it is not one of our making, that the efficiency and the respectability of Congress, as a legislative body, have not kept pace with the increas ing growth and greatness of the country. Where the fault is it is no business of ours to inquire—but the fact is so. There are no leaders in either House. There is no re cognition of the high responsibilities of legis lation. Radi indigestaque molse—there is no form, or consistency, or symmetry in the unshaped masses of men who by the votes of confiding constituency are put in the high place of legislation.
