Newspaper Manufactory.—The London Times

published, with the explanatory notes attached":
“The establishment of The Times newspaper is
an example, on a large scale, of a manufactory

of talent and mechanical skill is put in action for

ment; anl during tire session of Parliament, at least
12 reporters aro constantly attending the Ilonso
of Commons and Lords; each in his turn, after a-
bout half an honr’s work, retiring to translate in
to ordinary writing the speech ho has just heard

f>0 compositors are constantly at work, some of
whom have already set up the beginning, whilst
others arc committing the yet uiidricd manuscript

On Transplanting Wheat.—In the “Philoso
phical Transactions,” vpL 50, there is a statement
of Mr. C. Milles, of Cambridge, who sowed some
wheat in June 176U, and in August a plant was
taken up, and separated into 18 parts, aad replan
ted. These plants were taken up, and divided
in .October feUoy.'iiig, and planted separately to
stand the winter;* lyliich -division produced 67
plants.' . They v crc again taken up in March,
and produced 500 plants. The number of cars
thus formed from one grain of wheat was'21,209,
which gave pecks of corn, weighing 711bs. 7oz.
•and estimated at 581,000 grains. This year
3Ir. Lance, of Lewisham, has been transplanting
Wheat, and'in'every instance tho root transplan
ted is better than those remaining in the seed bed.
He also divided a root in February, which then
contained 14 straws; it was separated into 7 roots;
they arc now, June 16, in number 170 straws, and
nearly all out in ear; many of tile cars are 6 inch
es long, and appear as if they would yield 70
grains it: each ear. Thus would make 11.900
grains from one. There arc many mindr straws
not taken into this account. Many of the trans
planted roots contain 46 and 50 straws, and are
six feet high, with some cars that are seyen inches
long. The soil into which it was transplanted is
an alluvial sand.-which has had a top dressing of
chalk. Transplanting offers employment for re
dundant laborers.
Age of Sheep.—The age of sheep may be
known by examining the front teeth. They are
eight iu uumber, and appear during the first year,
all of a small size. In the second year, the two
middle ones fall out, and their place ia supplied
by two new teeth, which aro easily distinguished
by being of a larger size. . Iu the third ycat; two
other small teeth, one from each side, drop out
and are replaced by two large ones; so that .there
arc now four large toeth in the middle and two
pointed cues ou each side. In the fourth -year
tho large teplh are six in number, and only two
small ones remain, one at each end .of the rnuge.
In the fifth year the remaining*small teeth nro lost,
and tiio whole front teeth arc large? In the sixth
year the whole begin to bo worn, and In the sc-'
venth sometimes sooner, some fall out or arc bro
ken.
Substitute for Sugar.—A substitute for what
may now be deemed a luxury will probably, be
by no moans unacceptable. Honey has been pro
posed, honey has been adopted, but to many its
peculiar flavor occasions a disgust they cannot o-
vercome; now this flavor may be removed, with
out any injury *o its sweetufcss, by a very simple
process. Lato experiments, in chemistry have
taught the use of charcoal m purifying various
substances; this led to its application to the pur
pose of freeing honey from its peculiar flavour,
which lias been attended with complete success.
Four pounds of honey being boiled with two
pouudsof water, and one of well burntcharcoal, on
a gentle fire, till the syrup began to acquire some
degreo of consistency, the charcoal was separated
by a strainer, the syrup being tbeu boiled, till it
was of a proper consistence, it was loutid to be
as free from any disagreeable flavor as syrup of
sugar. This therefore, might be applied to every
purpose for which sugar is commonly used. If
the charcoal be coarsely powdered. I should imag
ine a smaller quantity would as effectually answer
the purpose.
The nineteenth century has been aptly styl
ed the “Age of invention.” Whether it be that
fabled by the poets as the Golden Age, we can
not say; but certainly some of the discoveries
of science which have lately come under our
notice arc. much more valuable than even gold
it3elf? For example, who would have imagin
ed that the most common, but most acutely
painful of all diseases,—the. Toothachc—which
has hitherto defied all the powers of medicine,
could be cured without removal of the offend
ing member. Yet this is now done by an em
inent Denti§t, Mons. Malian, of Great Russel-
stree*, Bloomsbury, who uses no other means
than filling the cleansed cavity, or hollow, with
a mineral paste, - which instantly relieves the
pain, and hardening into enamel in about two
minutes, remains for ever after, part and parcel
of the tooth itself! And he makes artificial
teeth of incorrodible mineral, which defy the
powers of disease and time, and fixes them in
so unique a manner, that the nearest relative

twee n them and the natural.—Liverpool Chrpn.

ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE.
At this period, when the controversy by which
the State has for year's been distracted, is draw
ing to an issue of fearful import, the Delegates
of the Union Party, assembled at Columbia, in
vito your solemn attention to the consideration of
the best mode of providing for the public.safcty.
They solicit your co-operation in a common ef
fort to sustain the prosperity, and if possible, the
peace of the country. There is no Tariff party in
South Carolina: we agree on every side that the
Tariff should b'c resisted by all constitutional
menus. So far there is no difference of opinion;
but we are divided as-- to the character of the
means that should be employed: and resistance
by nullification is thcfatal source of bitterness aud
discord.—Even those who are in favor of nullifi
cation differ widely as to its character. It is re
commended as couslitutional and peaceful, but
when explained even by iu own advocates it as
sumes many different aspects, ami furnishes an
evil ctbfcu.of interminable strife. Regarded as a
peaceful rcmfdy, nullification resolves itself into
a mere lawsuit, and may bo shortly dismissed as
a flcble and efficient measure. For it has been
wisely provided tha,t the constitution and the acts
of Congress' made in pursuance thereof, shall be
the Supreme law of tho land—and in a court sit
ting undec the authority of the constitution, the
merits of the question could receive no aid from
the high sounding terms of an act of nullification.
Regarded as a forcible iuterposiiion of the Sove
reign power of the State, the objections to it lie
far deeper. It is not a mere infraction of the
constitution which, like an external injury, leaves
its general utility unimpared, but a* radical and
fatal error. The theory renders the constitution
a fie ad letter;—and the practical enforcement ol
tho doctrine is tho beginning of revolution. A
government inadequate to its purposes cannot, in
the nature of things maintain its existence. The
great cud and aim of the constitution is to preserve
tlie-Union! of the States', and by that means the
harmony and prosperity of thecountry.—Thecild
confederation proved inadequate to that end, be
cause the execution of its resolutions depended
on the will and pleasure, of the several States.—
The convention which formed the constitution
owed its existence to tho necessity of giving to
the General Government the power to execute
its .own laws. If the several States can nullify
an act of Congress like the Tariff, that power
cannot bo exercised, and the Federal Govern
ment must follow the fate of the confederation.—
It is in vain to argue against facts. The theory of
nullification falsifies the history of the country.—
It is monstrous to contend that the framers of tho
constitution did not invest the General Govern
ment with full power to execute their own laws,
or that without sach a power Union can exist. .
The restriction of the State veto in its terms,
to laws declared by the State to be unconstitu
tional, is merely nominal. In practice it can
make no difference, for whether the law be con
stitutional or not, tho effect of nullification must
be the same. If one State has the jurisdiction
to declaro a law unconstitutional, every other
State must have the same; and the constitution
can have no settled meaning. It is vain to say
that the power would not be lightly exercised.
If it wore a power which the States possess, if
the right was acknowledged there would be no
more difficulty or reserve in the exercise of it
now, than under the confederation.—A venera
tion for tho constitution may prevent infractions,
but can have no application to the exercise of
right when it is once admitted to bo constitution
al. According to the theory of nullification, out
number of States more than one fourth of tho
whole, may change the constitution. For in
ease a State should nullify an act which that ve
ry State in common with all tho others had for
merly recognized as legitimate, or any law that
is really constitutional, unless threo fourths con
cur in favor of the law so nullified, the constitu
tion will, to all intents and purposes, be changed,
and this power of a minority to alter tho consti
tution, is deduced from the express provision
that it shall not be altered by less than a majori
ty of three fourths. By the samo rule, if una
nimity had been required in' all amendments, tho
constitution might have been changed by any
imo State. Such fallacy requires no exposure.
A construction which destroys the text, and
gives to words an effect directly opposite to their
sense and meaning, is too gross for argument.
Such arc the objections to nullification in theo
ry. . It is not merely an infraction of the/con-
stitution, but a total abrogation of its authority.
But in practico a dissolution of the Union is one
of the least of tho dire calamities which it must
inflict on tho country. A secession from the U-
nion might possibly take, place. iu peace, and
would only impair our national defence, put our
independence in danger, and give us up as a prey
to foreign influeucc with its usual consequences
of domestic faction, and frequent wars. But
Nullification ill practice must produce a direct
collision between the authorities of the State and
those of the union. It. would place both parties
under the necessity of a conflict, and ensnare the
citizen between inconsistent duties, adding to
the disasters of war the cruelty of penal laws.—
It may be said by the advocates of Nullification
that the state is entitled to the unqualified alle
giance oC its citizens, and that the decrees of a
state convention would supersede all other obli
gations. Without stopping to examine the cor
rectness of this doctrine, it may be conceded for
tho purposes of argument, that if the state au
thorities command us to withdraw our allegiance
from the General Government, wa are bound to
obey. But Nullification professes to be a con
stitutional remedy—and whilst it calls upon us
to resist tire constituted authorities, it commands
implicit obedience to the constitution of the Ini-
ted States; can any thing less than humiliation
aud defeat be expected from such a tissue of in
consistencies?
But if Nullification be considered not as a con
stitutional power, but as a high prerogative, and
an exception justified by great emergencies, it
must in principle bo the same as the ritrht of re
sistance which is recognized by the principle of
freedom, as a right paramount to all constitutions,
and is but an application to the state as a politi
cal "body of the same principle which prevails iu
every case between the people and the Govern
ment But as this exception is by its very na
ture beyond all law, it cannot be incorporated in
to the rule of tho constitution. The question in
all such cases is, whether the necessity exists;
whether the magnitude of tho evil is such as to
justify a resort to revolutionary force*
We cherish a sacred attachment to tho consti
tution, and deplore and dc-precate tho effects of
that rage and passion, which iu the correction of
abuses wonldtsweep away the inestimable institu
tions of freedom. If nullification was not fatal
to those institutions, thero would be no dispute a-
mong us, and when the vital and essential inter
ests of the state aro in jeopardy', we should think
no risk too great for their preservation in the last
resort. But it would little comport with patriot
ism or prudence, to incur all tho calamities at
tendant on the destruction of social order, if any
plan can be suggested for a removal of tho bur
thens of the TariH' (already considerably dimin
ished) by safer and more eligible means. We
believe that the times call loudly for the adoption
of such a plan, and that no insuperable objections
stand in tho way of a cordial cooperation of all
parties. Let the southern states meet in conven
tion and deliberate, as well on the infraction of
their rights as on the mode aud measure of redress.
The states of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Tennessee, Alabnma aud Mississippi, are c-
qually conccrnedlvith us in nll-the consequences
of the Tariff. If the.freedom and prosperity of
the one are involved in the issue, those of all tho
others arc equally concerned.
Whatever advantages may be expected from
Nullification as a constitutional chock, can ouly
be realised by a concurrence of tho states that
are interested, and such a cooperation appear
to he clearly intimated by the Virginia Resolu
tions as tho proper proceeding in such cases.
Aud if Nullification be regarded as an appeal
to the principle of resistance, it would be madness
to expect success without the support and coun
tenance of those States. If tho States which
are injuriously affected hv the Protective System*
coucur ill regarding the ordinary constitutional
checks as insufficient to restrain the General Gov
ernment within its proper sphere, stick interposi
tion as thev mav advise, will be more effectual,
ami productive o'f tlie smallest injury.
Even those who support the opinion tha't Nul
lification is a constitutional and peaceful remedy,
admit that it is only to be resorted to in extreme
cases, aud on the grounds of great public neces
sity. And how shall wo be satisfied of this ne
cessity but by the support and concurrence of
those States who arc equally interested? Many
causes conspire to create an excitement in one
State out of all proportion to tho magnitude of
the evil. But if the excitement is general, and
prevails as widely as tho mischief extends, we
may be assured that it does not proceed from
prejudice or accidental causes, and that the crisis
lias arrived for the intervention of an extraordi
nary remedy. It is due to the veneration in which
the Constitution ought to be held, to the respon
sibility-which we are under for preserving it in
violate, that no measure, involving in its conse
quences, so essentially the stability of the govern
ment, as Nullification confessedly does, should
be undertaken, except by the concurrence ofsuch
a number of the States as are invested with the
restraining or negative power in the case of a-
mendments.
Such are ,tbo advantages of a Southern Con
vention. The objections to it may be easily dis
posed of. It is not unconstitutional. The states
are prohibited from entering into treaties or con
federacies among themselves.—But a Southern
Convention will form no treaty or compact ofa-
ny kind.—Their object will he to deliberate, to
enlighten and givo effect to public opinion: Nor
will their deliberations be injurious to the Union.
If the States who are aggrieved by the Tariff
laws act in concert, their claims will in all proba
bility bo conceded—butiftho very worst that can
be imagined should happen, and their demands
be capriciously rejected, it will bo for tho several
States and not for tho Convention to cct on the
subject. The advice of the Convention will no
doubt have great weight, but it will be a saluta
ry influence not a legal control.
In the spirit of amity we mako this appeal to
our fellow citizens. The glorious inheritance of
freedom is at stake. The same blow which de
stroys the Union, levels to the ground the defen
ces of liberty. Under the Federal constitution
we have enjoyed all, which the patriots of the
American Revolution desired to see. Our coun
try has increased in riches, in knowledge and in
honor. And those who offered up their lives to
the cause of America, would have-.closed their
eyes in peace, if they could have been blessed
with a vision of that future which we have en
joyed. The happiness of our citizens has form
ed the admiration of the wise and good; and now
when the scene is changed, aud discontents cre
ated by the acts of Government, have brought
the constitution itself into danger; it depends oil
the moderation and wisdom of tho sons of liberty,
to repay iu some degree the debt of gratitude, by
transmitting tho same inheritance to their poster
ity.
1. Therefore Resolved, That while we depre
cate Nullification as founded on principles sub
versive of the constitution, we would willingly
and cordially unite with our fellow citizens of the
Free Trade and State Rights Party of this state,
on any ground which promises a redress of our
grievances, without involving a violation of the
constitution of the United States.
2. Resolved, That in case of the concurrence
of the states of Virginia, North Carolina, Geor

labor, and the means and measures of redress.

to adopt, abido by, aud pursue such measures in
relation to our grievances, as the said convention
shall recommend.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1832.
TO OUR PATRONS.
Wo commence the issue of our paper thi3 week
on an enlarged form, and iu a new dress. The
steady and growing patronage wo have received
from the public since our cstablishincatYu this
place, demands an expression of our warmest
gratitude. And, so fur as we are capable, we
shall show our sense of this (perhaps undeserved)
kindness, by still more strenuous efforts to deserve
it, by increasing the facilities for disseminating in
telligence, and extending the usefulness of the
Press.
Wc have been sufficiently long before the pub
lic, to render any new profession of faith or pro
mise of performance, unnecessary. For the
rights of the people, aud the welfare of the state,-
(of the whole state,) wc shall feel it our glory, as
it is our duty and our interest, zealously to con
tend, with such ability and talents as Wc are blest
with.
With respect to the great subjects tliat now a-
gltate the country, we trust we shall always be
found on the side of Georgia. Against the prin
ciple of a protective Tariff, (until it shall become
tho interest of our state to foster manufactories of
her own.) w* slmt! i-r.nsmtn t.. protest, aud op
pose such resistance as we think constitutional
and proper. In our opinion, the opposition to
that unequal, oppressive and unconstitutional
measure which would bc..tjhe most felt, the most
feared, and the most effectual, would be—not iu
protesting its un&onstitutitmaiity—nor in nullifi
cation—nor in threats of secession—but in c. fix
ed determination to live independent of foreign sup
plies, of every sort! Would the South do .this—
would it manufacture for itself, every thing ne
cessary for its existence and comfort—-wc might
laugh at the Tariff as a thing of moonshine—as
a phantom that could neither hurt nor touch tts!
And all this may be done. No people in the
world arc so blessed with natural advantages as
the people of tho South. With a ciimateMelight-
ful in the extreme—a soil bounteously prolific—
and all those aJvantngcs of inim.-rul wealth and
w.ater power to give facility to manufacturing op-
-erations, no nation or section could compete with
us iu any of the branches of industry; and we
might he the most independent and happy peo
ple iu the world.
The resistance, therefore, to the Tariff, which
we shall recommend to the people of the Soutl^
is, to purchase nothing from abroad which tee can
possibly do without: To use no northern flour,
nor beef, nor butter—wear no northern made
clothing, hats ®r shoes—ride in no northern made
carriage or saddle—read no northern novel or
newspaper, or almanack—aud travel oa no north
ern railway—and sail in no northern steamboat.
By a determination of this sort, wc should encour
age manufactures and mechanics, and literature
among ourselves; keep our money at home, and
add to our national independence and happiness.
On tho subject of a Reduction iti the number of
Representatives, .and Retrenchment in our civil
expenses, we arc decidedly in favor of the mea
sure. Until a reduction is brought about, Legis
lation cannot be otherwise than loosely conducted
—and until Representation is more fairly appor
tioned, the progress of the state in internal im
provement will ho but slow and faltering; her in
dustry cramped; her resources dried up. or wast
ed on visionary schemes; and the state be contin
ually cursed by party bickerings and-political dis
sensions. — >
MACON TELEGRAPH—FOR THE TOWN
Wo have completed the first volume of our
Daily paper; aud commence this day upon the
issue of a new one. As heretofore, it will be
published Semi-iceckly during hall* the year—aud
Daily during the business season—provided the
aspect of the times and the business of the place
shall seem to warrant it. If it should not be found
advisable to publisli* Daily, wc shall continue to
issue the paper semi-weekly through tlie year. Iu
which case the price will be $3-00 per annum—•„
payable within the rear.
It will be seen that we have considerably en
larged our form, and made other improvements
since we commenced our Daily issue, a year ago.
Though our sheet does not equal some of the
mammoth papers of tho day, it is not neither so
conspicuously small! aud if it makes up in point
and depth, what it lacks ii> breadth and length,
(which we shall endeavor to make it,) wc hope
our subscribers will be satisfied. At any rate, we
trust our friends will not think it small for the

Q? 3 Wc not unfrequently receive Jc
subscribers and others who foe! an inte
prosperity of our press, containing advice as to
the course they think wo ought or ought not to
pursue. So far as their suggestions originate in
kindness, or friendship, the authors of them havo
our thanks; am! so far as they agree with our own
views, they arc followed. But v hc-n from party,
or interested, or ambitions motives, persons en
deavor to diclate a particular course Uy threats,
they forfeit their title to friends, and set themselves
ttp for masters—a relation wc have never liked
since reading Clayton's speech.
As the press is the fountain from which wo
draw our entire support, and its productiveness
depends altogether upon the estimation which tho
public entertninof our merits, it may ho supposed
.that wc understand our interest sufficiently to bu-
stow our best abilities upon it. Aud as it is our
whole business so to temper our press that its is
sues may suit the disposition of the greatest possi
ble number of readers, it may also be supposed,
that if we cannot do so by our own exertions, tho
suggestions of our friends would be of little avail.
As the patrons of a newspaper are made up of
different feelings, and tastes, and prejudices, if an
editor listens altogether to those of one set, 2:c di
rectly runs against those of ani-tlier. In classic
language, “in steering from Charybdts he rims
foul of tsevlia.” Wc have concluded therefore
to adopt the advice of “Uncle Toby to pleaso
ourselves as far as we are able, an.l let the world
take care of itseif.

gainst General Ncvvnan. lie is accused of being
a-Nullificr, and of course, according to the notions
of some, not too good for any thing. Though wo
do not agre^viih the General, (and never have)
in all his political opinions, wc an; still disposed
to do him justice. Wc think him honest in his
opinions; and if we are not to be governed by a
spirit of intolerance, cannot wc allow a difference
of opinion to be cherished ? Granting la- is
every thing that is. said of him, (which we do not
believe,) wo would still prefer him for a repre
sentative in Congress before several others now
before the public. As to his turning against his
old friends, we havo seen no proof of it. Accor,
ding to our recollection be professed the samo
sentiments two years ago, that he avows now.—
If they were orthodox then, why are they not so
now?.
Newnan has rendered important services to hit
country; and, according to our plain notions ot
the “everlasting rule of ri-dit," is deserving some
thing from its hands. So wo have thought—and
so wc have acted. If wo have offended naj by
'this course—if any are hurt became w e °*
