SUPREME COURT OF FnE U.
In our next paper will appear the communication of
■ ••Jurist,” on the decision of the Supreme Court of the
■ United Sot.-*, in the case of the Miesionanea. The
Bra ider will immediately perceive that the hand of a mi
lter produced it, and that it is from a man familiar with
Rhhe 1 w of nations, with the federal constitution and the
■ laws emanating from it, and with every thing pertaining
Sto the rights of the -Suite, and to the powers they re
■ twined when they confederated.
\ . EDIFICATION.
* A communication ban been received from an esteemed
and valued Inend, %uio?c talents, love of Georgia, and o!
I the Union, place liiui among the first rn n in our country.
He, however, advocates Nullification; and yet we said
he loved the Union; and so it is : how ran this be recon
ciled—he will inform us humelf. Owing to the cotmnu.
ideation ol "Jurist” having to appear first, we will defer
1 1 the next paper the jiubii .utiou ol the essay oi our iriend
• *• Georgia,” on Nullification.
INDIAN WAR.
The lute.t intelligence respecting the war now wag
ju; on our northwestern frontier, will be found in our
Columns. Fis indeed to he hoped, that the government
w ill soon bring tiioou disturbances and massacres to an
end.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
A late arrival in New. York, brings London dates a few
hours I iter than by the Britannia. It would appear that
Lord Grey had been recalled to the Prune Ministry,
mid that the Duke of Wellington had been unable to form
an administration. It was expected that tiic reform bill
would pass thi Lords with some slight modification.
CHOLERA.
We publish in tbit day’s paper, a eve ml interesting ar
ticles on that dread ul disease, tiie Ciioiora. Flic re*
[ perl has been eo: . iic e that it re ched New. York.
On the loth re-t o.t. (says the Ci.arß-ton Courier,) off
[ the cape*u V.rg.ru i, Cpt Hiker, of the brig Langdon
Chevcs, spoke one of the ii liimore pilot boats, who in
f rrned h.:n ih l bra; then ins.gist, from Rotterdam, as
he under j kI, b and u>r B iltimore, hud on board a
numbero; p'sieiigeresick with the Cholera, and that
several had already died on the passage of that disease.
SPIRIT OF NULLIFICATION.
On the 2d instant, a festival was given by the citizens
of Lawrena District, in honour of Nullification. The
following were the 7th and Sth regular toasts drank:—
7. John Caldwell Calhoun. Like Cato, firm ;
like Aristides,just; and like Themisiocles, great.
An Ostracism to rtjo’cn.'r the wrath of General
Jackson, and to elevate Martin Van Buren,
seeks to ban.sh him from tire affections of the
people. But Bouth-Carolina, true to herself,
glories in his services, and is proud of his eleva
tion ; and will, like the faithful Magnceians, raise
a monument to his name.
9 cheers; 3 guns.
8. The Senate of the United States. —Like
the Areopagus of old, innocence may approach
it without apprehension,and theconvietedshouM
retire without a murmur. Whilst it tempers the
acts of its co-ordinate branch, it chocks the in
discretions —the imbecilities and corruption that
vsjy delude the Executive.
THE HAtTIMORE CONVENTION.
We have always been the advocates of regular no
mi'i itions, ns one of the most efficient rule of party dis
cipline ; They tend to the concentration of the votes of
a party : They appeal powerfully to some of the best
feelings of our nature—patriotism and disinterestedness.
They present to our view, in bright perspective, the ac
complishment of our political hopes, and the gratifica
tion of complete triumph over our opponents. Regular
nominations have the salutary effect of inducing a re
linquishment of claims and partialities, when the good
oi the party requires it, and, frequently, of reconciling
J.’.e clashing interests of men possessing the pnbhc con
fidence. Resides, regular nominations do not infringe
mc elective franchise, for they are in no wise binding.
■They are merely recommendatory; and being recom
mendatory, it matters not whether candidates offer thein
st ’.ves for the suffrage of their fellow.citizens of their
own accord, or by the nomination of a Convention or
I aucus, however small or large it may be in number.
In cither case the candidates cannot be elected but by a
majority of the voters, as in some States, or by a plu
rality, as in Georgia. Though disposed at all times to
subscribe to the nominations of a Convention, yet we
know-, and we teel, that, notwithstanding these nomina
tions, we are left r.t perfect liberty to give or not our
• ote and our support to the ticket adopted and rccom.
mended by the Convention. Under this view of the
subject, we g ive m our adhesion to the nomination of
Mr. \an Buren by the Baltimore Convention, with the
understanding oa all sides, that, should any thing occur
m the interval to change our minds, with regard to the
nomination, we will do so, and give our vote and sap-»
port to other citizens than Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van
Buren, for the two highest offices of the federal govern
mem.
These preliminary remarks were necessary to under
rta id the drift of our comments on the article of the
federal Union, upon the subject of the nomination of
Mr. \ an Buren by the Baltimore Convention.
Ino editors of the paper in question, are pleased f>
r.tv, tint *• The Baltimore Convention was a mere bub
; that it presented a specious exterior; but was hoi
m .asivc, and evanescent; without solidity, and
3 - ' '
vou.i not lorm a b„s;s for the union of the Jackson par
•} These are mere assertions; for the result alone
" e e; vction. Simula it turn out against the Baltimore
nomination, could authorize the assumption of such a
position by the editors of the Federal Union: the elec
-Mt. ukes place only in November next. Moreover, the
'•a-.ors did certainly not read the proceedings of that
■ ier, otherwise they would h&ve ascertained that
t
the object of the meeting had been accomplished, by,
the nomination of a distinguished and popu! r hr m
for the Vice-Presidency, and that the delegate i u
mously, after it had been ascertained that th ' zen
i hid received more than two thirds of the v :•* nad
ti
confirmed the nomination, and joined in the -ren
’ dation of Mr. Van Buren to the American t : pic or
their suffrage. So tar the Convention i- 1 . t a • bab
ble so far it is not “ delusive;” and the result T the
election in November next, will determine whether it j
has not led to the union of the Jackson party,
j Respecting the denial given by the editor of the Fedc
.irad Union, that a large portion of the people or Georgia..
{{did not concur in the measure, "t shall leave the editors j
of the Georgia Journal to answer for themselves. They j
'are able to do so; they have their own files of newspa- ! j
!pers, in which the meetings in many counties, and the
presentments o{ grand juries, were published. It is still
fresh in our recollection, that at those meetings, and in
itbose presentments, the Baltimore Convention received
the approbation of our citizens, who concurred in ap-1
pointing our members of Congress, delegates to that i
'‘Convention. And if the editors o! the Journal will take
.the trouble to examine the matter more minutely, it is (
our bebef, that they will find that the population of the I
’'counties which concurred in the measure, amounts to j
1 more tuaa the majority of tne whole population of this,
■State.
|j The editors of the Federal Union am also pleased to
j. 9ay r that tiie proceedings of the Convention are dicta to- ij
I tor. !; that the assumption of the power of nominating,
is grossly i • elicate and arbitrary; and that to permit men i
high in cilice, to control the great elections of the pco- 1
pie, is a precedent most dangerous to liberty. Indeed !|
Are the editors serious? If the Convention intended to
dictate, and could dictate, what is the use of protesting
aga.nst the nomination of Mr. Van Buren, so strenuous,
ly as the editors of the Federal Union do? Why con
demn the proceedings of the Convention, as a “ bubble,” i
.as being “ delusive” and “ evanescent”? The very act'
u. protesting against and condemning the nomination, e-'j
proot positive that there is no dictation, and that the ! !
...
Convention left it to the discretion of the people, either
to sanction tiie nomination, by voting for Mr. Van Eu.
ren, or reject it, by voting for some other individual.
! Dictation indeed, when the editors of the Federal Un- !
> ion, and the friends of Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun, join |
in reproving the nomination, and recommending other |
■ individuals instead of Mr. Van Buren. But the editors
speak ol dictation; and they are themselves guilty of;
I tiie very offence they condemn. They recommend Mr.,
Barbour. Here then are two individuals—respectable'
‘men, to be sure, who dictate to the people of Georgia, 1
land oi the United Slates ! and they condemn the same 1
, thing done by more than three hundred citizens, equal- j
■; ly as respectable as the editors themselves 1 These
* It
, |j three hundred citizens have done nothing more than to I
’recommend : if they have dictated, the editors of the y
I federal Lnion assume to themselves the same power!
ol dictation. Rut why are the editors so fastidious a
bout this nomination ? If they are so scrupulous about
. the rights and powers of the people ; if they are so sen
. sitiv. aheut a few dictating to the majority: why did
they not put the mark of their reprobation upon the
j jiiomhiation mada at Athens, in August last, by a few
[lj citizens, of a candidate for Governor ? Have they ever
denied that a Caucus was then held, composed ol a re-|
ry few citizens, and a citizen compelled to beeome a j
candidate against his will and previous declaration ? 1
I The editors ol the Federal Union are keen observers
| of passing even’s, and possess a degree of discern.
! meat as acute as it is aliva to the actions of their op-
II ponents; hut in this instance, they have taken grounds
j from which their better recollection, if it had not failed
I them, would have plainly shown them they eould easily
1 bo dislodged.
The next position assumed by the editors of the Fe
. dsra! Union is, that there was a want of reciprocity a
xnong the members of the Convention, because the de.;
■ legates irom Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
j Connecticut, New. Jersey, Delaware, Louisiana, and
j Ohio, brought no stake with them, they had no electoral
j vote to give, and they are in the minorities in those
ji States. We agree, that the electoral votes of Vermont,
jt Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Dela
’ j. tvare, will not be given to Gen. Jackson ; but we deny
7 ■ tli it the voles of New. Jersey, Ohio and Louisiana, are'
I j certain against Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van Buren. The!
;i votes of New-Jersey and Louisiana are doubtiul ; bur
| the vote of Ohio is as certain for Jackson and Van Bu.!
ireu as the vote ul Georgia. We agree too that the de
j|i legates of Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con.
I necticut and Delaware, represented minorities in the
Convention. But we will put the question to the editors
ol the Federal Union—are the minorities to have no
voice in an election sa important as that of President
and \ ice-i reside.it ol tno United States ? Because in
tne minority, are the friends of General Jackson—the
staunch Ineuis oi republican principles—the firm and
i juudeviating supporters of the administrations of Jelfor
; son, Madison, and Monroe, to have no voice in the
j choice of their chief magistrate 7 It is lor this very
'privilege ol being heard and consulted, that we sanc
tion the mooting of the Convention. In their own
I stntos their votes are absorbed by the votes of the rna
; jority ; end because they are in the minority, their fosl-i
mgs, their prepossessions, their sense of public policy, I
: are not to have any weight at all with the republican'
| party ? It is tms they have no electoral vote to give ;
'.but they belong to the great republican family. In e
• Ijvil times ; in times of war and danger; in times when
the American confederacy was attacked on all sides
Trom enemies without, and citizens within-—these mia
, unties stood firm, and by their firmness, and their devo
tion to republican principles, and to the republican par-
II ty, saved the country —actually saved the country from
rum. desolation, and subjection to England. And such
j men are not to be consulted on measures of public poll-1
cy, nor on the most important elections ? As much as I
we have confidence in the patriotism and integrity of the '
republican party in Georgia, in the majority, so much!
do w» admire and respect the patriotism and political!
■ integrity of the republicans of Vermont, Rhode Island,!
i Massachusetts and Connecticut, though in the minoritv. i
And there is nothing that can give us so much gratifies-1
■ j|tion, as when that minority can be consulted on any'
great question of policy, and when their feelings and
opinions have their due weight. Tiie Baltimore Con
vention was a meeting of delegates from#the republl
can party in the United States. These delegates met,
not to dictate, not to elect, not to choose, a Vice Pres;- i
’ dent, bat to interchange opinions and views, with regard:
to an individual tube supported by the partv for that'
high office. In the distracted stare of the party, when!
ISO many claims are set up to the public favour; when
|
'lour opponent*, taking advantage of the circumstances,,
I are moving heaven and earth in order to increase our>
. difficulties; the Baltimore Convention met, to reconcile 1
all the claims of our distinguished citizens, and by mu- ! :
Ijtud concessions, to concentrate the votes of the party!
on one individual. The Baltimore Convention was a
meeting ot de sgatas from the republican parti-, and
not from majorities or minorities—it was a family meet- '•
ing, in which the best interests ot its members were *
uiscussed. and measures adopted suitable to insure and I
promote the welfare of each. Considered under this 1
, point of view, all ihe calculations of the Federal Union j ’
tail to the ground. We will barely adl. that the vote of !
Georgia is not doubtful. As certain as Gen Jackson 1
■ will receive the vote of Georgia, as certain will Martin' i
Van Buren be on the some ticket for the Vice Pres.- (
dency. j t
Before we conclude, we will ask the editors of the t
Federal Union, why do they entertain such hostile feel- :
.ings towards Mr. Nan Buren ’ Is u becausa he has is
n -
;tc n a warm friend to Georgia? Is it because he has
. en a consistent republican ? Is it because he voted
■r the T r.ff of 18:1S, according to the instructions of
the legisl .ture of his own state ? This appears to be
khe ground of their opposition to him. Bat this hostili.
ty is owing to s mething else. Tiie plain fact is, Mr.
V-a Bunm has been, and is still, the friend of Mr.
Cravt.ord. Mr. Van Buren received the electoral vote?
ol Georgia lor he Vice Presidency, when the editors
I of the Federal Un ion were straining every nerve to pro
cure 'h..se votes for Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Van Buren is
now the most popular man with th# republican party:
The editors ot tiie Federal Union would like to see
Mr. Calhoun that papular man. If we are mistaken in
i our opinion,'he editors can correct us. But they re
j commend Mr. P. P. Barbour. Gentlemen, you do know
hat this distinguished and popular Virginian, was and is
'also a friend of Mr, Crawford. Why then choose him, j
m preference to Mr. Van Buren ? Mr. Barbour is a pa
triot without reproach. We coincide with the editors
in this attribute of Mr. Barbour. But was he so consi
dered by them in 1821 and 1623, when he advocated
the claims of Mr. Crawford to the Presidency ? Why
now prefer him ? The editors of the Federal Union
can tell; for our own parts, it must be permitted to u?
to say, that, unless the contrary is shown, they, like the
inends of Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun, wish, by their op
position to Mr. Van Buren, defeat the election of Gen. i
| Jackson, and throw the choice of a President into the
I House of Representatives, where corruption, intrigue,
and political management may place either Mr. Clay op
Mr. Calhoun in the Presidential chair against the will of
a large majority of the American people, as in 1825.
Besides, mark the sign of the time : the friends of
Mr. Calhoun intend to run him for the Presidency, with
Mr. ?. P. Barbour on the ticket for the Vice Presiden
cy: What docs this mean ? We put the questipn to
the Editors of the Federal Union,
THE CHEROKEES.
The following interesting information we copy from
!the Southern Banner, printed at Athens, Ga. of June 13.
“ V» r e have learned from an intelligent gentle
eD O
man v/ho has just returned from the Cherokee
nation, that the delegation had returned from
1 Washington City, and that he had ascertained
I from an individual iu the confidence of those
| privileged gentlemen—a man of intelligence and
s anding among the Indians —that the delega
tion came to the conclusion, before leaving
Washington, to treat with the General Govern
ment in October next. They have been doubt
less advised to this course by their pretended
friends at Washington. The Cherokee excite
ment is too potent an engine against General
Jackson, for Messrs. Clay, Calhoun & Co. to
relinquish at the present important crisis—and
hence the postponement of its settlement until
after the Presidential election.”

COMMUNICATIONS.
FOR THE CONSTITUTIONALIST.
I perceive from an advertisement, now before
the public, that there has been a reorganization
ofihe “ Medical Ins ilute of Georgia and I,g
Professors contemplate commencing a course of
lectures in October next. The ci’izen, as well
as the physician, must feel interes ed in the ad
vancement of the science of Medicine; and any
manoeuvre, which is calculated to re*ard it, or
deteriorate from the rcspec ability of the pro.
session, must call for the disappreba’ion of the
community, tor all classes are equally interested.
The gentlemen engaged in this project are
entitled to due credit for ihe motives which acu
ate them, but I think, if they will reflect for a
moment, they must be convinced that the Insti
tution is uncalled for, and under existing cir
cumstances, and the present crowded state of the .
profession, calculated io do an injury to i s stand
ing in our s ate —Its injurious effects will extend
no farther, as the lectures heretofore delivered
in the Institution have not been recognized bv
any Medical College in the United States; —and
under the present organization, they cannot
hope or better success.—it is useless to enter in
to details, on a point which mas. appear evident
to every one who will reflect. Two ofihe pro
fessors have had an opportunity of visiting some
ol the first Schools in Europe, as well as our
own country, and they cannot but see the tru h
of the foregoing observations. The medical men
of Georgia should reflect on this subject, and
throw the weight of their influence into that
scale which will most contribute to the advance
ment of the honour of their profession.
A CITIZEN.
Messrs. Editors,
You have doubtless noticed
the Presentation of the great Pcrrv Man
uscript. Here is another specimen of that hoax
ing policy, which has of late been so conspicu
ous in the manoeuvres of thojS.C. Nullifiers. This
document, though exceedingly trival in its na
ture, might not improperly have been placed a
mong oar records. Hut what, save the very
spirit of Humbug , could have prompted the trans
fer ot such a paper, with as much pomp and cir
cumstance, as if it had been a copy of the lost
writings of the sago Trismegistus ? Really those
gentlemen should learn to treat us with a little
more respect. They seem to regard the people
ot our state as a horde of vain barbarians, whose
rude services may be cheaply obtained, by the
coarsest arts, and the paltriest bribes. If they
proceed as they have begun, we may expect that
before long they will send over a “ Talk,” ad
dressed to "the Chiefs and Warriors of the Geor
gia Tribe, settled on the right-side of that beau
iir'ul stream, the Savannah,” accompanied by a
suitable present of beads, striped handkerchiefs,
tomahawks, and tobacco. M.
3 Tcssrs. Guieu 4' Bunce: I suggest a new
method for the preservation and health of the citi
zens in the city of Augusta. As the approach
ing warm season and dry weather sits in, we
must expect during the summer, heat, wind, dry
and heavy columns of dust in our streets, par
ticularly in Broad-Street, the great thorough-fare
for wagons, carts, drays, gigs and stages; large .
drove of cattle and horses, pass and repass, to
the injury of our merchandize, household furni
ture and other valuables. It may be often the
cause of much irritation to the lungs of oar citi-,
zens generally, who are in some instances affec
ted with pulmonary or other complaints ; and
thus hasten their passage to the grave. Yet as
fife is more sweet than bread and meat, or of
more value than all things else, I would advise'
the community at large, that our streets be wa
tered every afternoon, say, from the first of June |
to the firs: of October, every year, at the pub- |
lie expense, ihe most essential par-should be
from the lower to the upper market. Provide
two-small carts, with one horse each, with an
iron bound hogshead or pipe, to hold one hun-,
dred and twenty gallons, with a wood or tin
trough across behind ; the trough bored round j
with quarter inch holes, to let the water run |
nrough. The proper place where the cartmen ‘
■saoaij obtain the water, should be drawn from
i the hydrant; the small quantities which would
he drawn from the reservoir, would not be miss
ed ; the spring water would be much colder and
clear. By sprinkling the street, going up and
! coming down, will keep the dust oh the earth.
When plenty rain, s*op your carts. When the
|street gets dry, begin to move your carts as
heretofore; it will prevent the dust from filling
> our mouths, lungs, eyes and ears, from suffoca
tion ; our children also being very much ex
posed going and coming from school, overheat
ied with sweat, filled up with dust and filth, al
most certain to die with thirst and suffocation.
SEN EX.
From the Georgia Cabinet.
M e place first under the editorial head of the
; Cabinet, the names of the Candidates for Presi
: dent and \ ice President and Members of Con
: gress. Individually, our personal wishes are by
j no means entirely* gratified with the whole array*,
j The name of P. P. BARBOUR, would have
much better graced the list, incur estimation, d:
had the Baltimore Convention so determined,
we should have hailed the selection with signal
j gratification. But personal preference, not only
jas regards the \ ice Presidency, but our Con
s easional representation, must be sacrificed to
j insure tiie integrity of our party and the perpetui
, j ty ot the principles we advocate. —As the whole

1 T-he mortal remains of the honourable C. C.

brought to his lodgings from Alexandria, at

1 fie circumstances of his death are reported

storm then raging, to go so the wharf, with a
; view to take passage on board the mail-boat
Sydney, which leaves Alexandria at about 0
; o’clock, P. M. for the city. He was at ended
b\ r a servant, who left him when he iiad shewn
him within sight of the wharf. This was the
i last seen or heard of him until his body was

i doubt that he walked into the slip, and struck
i Ins head in falling, or he would have saved him
-1 self, being an expert swimmer,
i -1 his melancholy occurrence cast a gloom
i yesterday over ail Congress. Its fatality*, in
i dependent!}* of the merits of the deceased, pro

From the Georgia Courier.
On the 25th of April Just, at the residence of P. J.
Murray Esq. in Hail county, Georgia, Lieut. Russell
Baldwin, a native of Massachusetts, about 33 years ol
, age.
, Lieut. Baldwin* had been ior some time in a low state
' of health and had received leave of absence from the De
partment for some months ; since which he had chiefly
i occupied his time in travelling through the Southern
, States, and particularly in Geological researches in the
Western part of this State. He had been in the service
j from early in 1813, to the date of his death, a period ot
ij 19 years, and actively engaged in the duties of bis pro
fession until his health became so broken that it was ne-
J cessary he should (for a short time) suspend his exer
tions. In 1825 he was appointed to a Lieutenancy, and
had not his early death cut short his honorable career,
stood fair on the list to reach the crowning point of his
professional ambition. Possessed of a line and highly
cultivated mind, and endowed with those courteous*and
; generous feelings so characteristic of his gallant pro
i session, he -was deservedly esteemed by all who knew
him, and his loss is regretted by them with the double
lament of public and private grief.
He was disinterred and brought to this city on the
17th inst. and his remains were followed by a numerous
concourse of his friends and acquaintances tr. the Sand-
Hills, where ho was buried with Military honors. Col.
fanning and the Officers of the United States Depot,
giving their aid in this last tribute ot respect to the
memory of that gallant and lamented officer, and parti,
j cipating in the general expression of sympathy for the
I sorrow of those distant relatives and friends to whose
i memories and affections he was endeared by longer hut
I not more sincere ties of friendship and esteem. H.
The following is the substance of the Discourse at the
funeral of Lieut. B. made iy the Rev. S. G. Ikx
fi.vch :
When the old man dies; whose life had long been
wasting away, we recognise in the event the ordinary
course ot nature. When the infant expires, whose mind
. has hardly expanded to a perception ot surrounding ob
jects, we mourn mr a hope disappointed—but the loss
, has its numerous and great consolations. It is when
the man in middle life is suddenly taken away, in the
lull enjoyment of every faculty, in the possession of eve
ry blessing of the present moment, and every blooming,
prospect tor the mture —it is then that death speaks to j
; us the language oi dismay and admonition. Such was'
the death ot Lira whose remains we are now consign-'
ing to their last earthly resting place. Seldom is it our!
lot to meet an instance of mortality more striking, more
calculated to exci'e the deepest emotion in the hearts l
j ot survivors than is presented to us in this instance.
To many whom I address, he around whose grave'
w-e have assembled was intimately known. The au
thur of Nature had bestowed on him no ordinary ad
vantages of person and of mind.—He was one of those,
who, wherever they go, attract the friendship of those
wiio know them. Polished in his manners, the trea

: The Grand Jurors of the County* of Richmond
- I of the second week of the J une Term, 1382.
j
1. Concur with our predecessors of the first
'j week, in regarding the abolition of Penitentiary
i punishment in Georgia, as highly injurious to
he best interest of the State, and earnestly re
~ ! commend, to the next General Assembly, its re
j establishment, with such improvements as ex
iperience may have suggested.
2. We also concur with them in believing
t . . O
. ithat the extensive traffic carried on, in this city,
. tn Lottery T ickets, is calculated to sap the {bun
t dation of that prosperity, which is best promoted
. by* tiie steady and honest industry of its in
>f habitants.—We consider it a kind of Gambling,
j sanctioned by* law. The existing Law, which
d: forbids dealing in Tickets of lotteries not an
al thorized by this State, is, we have reason to be
s | iiove, ofien violated or evaded by ordering or
t-1 affecting to order the Tickets after an applica
nt i lion for them is made. To render the legisla
t j) lion of the State consistent on this subject, and
Jij to check as much as possible that spirit of un
d ; lawful gambling which dealing in Lottery
a : Tickets has a tendency to foster, it is earnestly*
e recommended to the Senator and Reprcsenta
s lives of this County in the next General Asseinb
a ly, to use their influence to prevent any future
Lotteries from being granted by this State, for
. the distribution of money, and to procure, if pos
sible, tiie passage of a law to prohibit under ad
a equate penalries, the buying, selling, ordering,
,-1 delivering or receiving of tickets, authorized
-i by the laws of any State or country whatever,
v I 3. We present as an qvil, the practice of sell
rijing or giving intoxicating Liquors to Slaves, and
k* ij recommend the passage of a law to prohibit it
s j «1 ogeher without the consent of their owners.
y | 4. We pi •esent as a grievance the heavy ad
i valorem tax imposed by the Laws of this State on
s buildings and improvemen’s in lots, in cities and
towns, while this description of property in the
country is entirely exempt from taxation, and
. recommend an equalization of all such taxes
e throughout the whole State.
We cannot close these presentments without
.1 expressing the high sense we entertain of the
hj ability, assiduity*, und urbanity, with which his
II ;j Honor Judge Holt, and Charles J. Jenkins Esq.
. • the Attorney General, have performed the im
,t| ponant duties of their respective offices during
I the present term.
I We request that those presentments be publish
:- j ed in all the papers of the city.

COTTON.—In the early part oi the week a few
' salts of Upland were made, of the inferior and mid
dling qualities, at former rate s, for the purpose of filling i
up some vessels, which had not quite completed their,
cargoes. They did not exceed 800 bales ; the particu
} lars of which we conceive it unnecessary to report.
' Since the receipt of the accounts from England, pub
■ lushed on Thursday, hardly a sale has taken place, and
j the market became perfectly stationary. Tnis will,
most probably, continue to be the case until we have fur
ther advices from Europe. Nothing doing in Long Sta
