allude. The Telegraph and Re.
fortner, each in their day, asanmeil to he con?id
•red the great organ of the State Rights party —
the champion, prophet, and apostle of Southern
tights and interests. The Chronicle, we pre
lame, intends to set up the same claim, lor, like
llljpredecessors, it essays to decide upon the or
tteldoxy of all other presses of the State Rights
pg|ty. Twelve months ago the Reformer was
most bloody and ferocious war upon the
Ylti Liure.i par'y, which it denounced in cease-
Iws and unmeasured language, as a hand ol
‘•loyalists,” a “Royalist faction,” seeking to
Convert our republic into a monarchy ! The
Otyonicle (the same man being still iho editor,)
it |ow in the very act of leaping into the arms
of |hi|) same parly, whom the Reformer accused
ofiesiring to impose a king and a crown upon
'.UiJand is now denouncing every other press in
tbi South that is not ready to follow in its wake.
SWe have been led into the above remarks by
imanicle in that [taper, which, on account of ab
sMHtcc from home at the lime of its arrival here,
.«e did not see until we found it in the Southern
|!p and Pendleton Messenger. It is as follows:
The Augusta Chronicle has tor some time been
ing currency to letters purporting to be written
uthis city, by a Stale nights man. The editor
tosses not to know even Hie name ol his curies
idem; yet opens his columns le those anony
as assaults on the characters ot Southern men.
he editor knows not his correspondent, Ins Coii
ssiovul fntnd does; and iho people ot Georgia
r e the right to call on him to endorse the puliti
principtes and associations of the anonymous,
i are informed that he never was a State Kiglils
h, nor friendly to the principles or interests oil he
Uh. On the contrary, that ho is a National,
1 writes nothing but Nationalism for the North
papers.”
These few lines contain as much misreprcsen-l
on as could well be put'ihto the same number
the same subject. It is not true that we ever
aid or pretended or professed not to know the
|ame of our Correspondent! He has been our
bgular correspondent since December, 1830, and
re have always known his name’! The asset- 1
on of the Chronicle on that point is as-faUe as the
hjcct for which it is made is rnalignan - '! Our
orrespondent writes n i “ assaults upon the char-:
cter of Southern men,” as charged above. The
olitical course of public men is a legiiimate sub-'
net of animadversion, whether they hail from the,
*Jorth or South, arid, fbrthcr than this, our cor- :
cspondcht has never gone. So much for these
■'jnisreprcseutalioiis ! The allusion to our “ Con-
Jgressionalfriend'' with a view le injure him,
from a vindictive feeling, because that
■friend has had the independence to refuse lo how
Blown in humble and 'passive submission to the
~*iew allies of the “ Royalists.” We do not dic-
to our correspondent what shall be the lone
tflpi v*\or of his communications, but leave it lo
didtates of his own judgment. They are
confeneil lo details of the proceedings of
Blongress, aud we have never heard any doubt
IgHxprcsscd as lo their truth and correctness,
■ In conclusion, wc will inform the Chronicle
r Hpat we neither fear its denunciations nor court
applause. We are above the reach of its
jßaligiiily—and have no idea at present of join
■g “r/ie Royalists" for the purpose of keeping
9K company. —T e difference between us is this:

Amkuican Dii.lh.—During the last few days
there Iras been mooli conversation in the motiera
ry circles, upon art occurrence which has recent
ly taken place in lire affnrs of tire suspended hou
ses in lire American trade. It appears that by
the last packet from New York there was reeeiv
id in London a bill for lire large sum of 52,(J01)/,
in favor of Messrs. Tiros. Wi sort &. Co. Messrs,
George Wylie & Co. in determined shares, a
mode of remittance which is much in use in tiro
American trade, as considerably diminishing lire
expense of sending over a multiplicily'of papers,
Tire hill in question tor £82,000, was passed in
to the Bank of England on account of lire money
advanced by that institution to the above men
tioned firms, being offered in payment, less the
discount. The directors of the hank are said to
have claimed five per cent, upon it, although the
rale is now usually understood lobe four per cent
as announced in November last, and at which so
great an amount of money was supposed to have
been lent at that period to the friends of the di
rectors in the East India trade. The hill being
in this manner refused by the Bank unless at a
rate of interest solar aboie the market price, and
which the houses did not think it right in justice
to their creditors and their own families to pay
without making farther efforts to obtain tire mini,
ey in some oilier quarter, applied to Mr. Jaudon
agent ot the Bank of the United Slates, by whom
the lull was immediately discounted at one pet
cent.
From the Neui York Evening Star.
“The Richmond inquirer fears that this nholi.
tion question may become political. So do we !
But, if it does, we again say the South may thank
themselves fur it. Their best friends ai the North,
and the best Iriends ot the Union, have done all
they could to prevent it. But the rashness, the
intemperance, the folly, and the spirit of bravado
at the South, have done mure to counteract the
’ efforts of (rue patriotism at the North, than all
the combined efforts of abolition pul together.
* * If abolitionism is spreading at
the North, the mad-cap politicians at the Soull
have only themselves to thank lor it. The coursi
of tire slaveholders in the South, in and out ol
U ingress, has done more to make abolitionists a
; the North, ten times over, than ail the rneelingi
and speeches, and resolutions and tracts, of the
immediate abolitionists, could have done in a
whole generation.’’— Com. Adv,
Generally speaking, the Commercial Adverti.
! ser may no*, be called a hot abolition paper; on the
; contrary, we have read in that journal strong arti
cles, sound and patriotic, against agitating the
• question; but it is impossible tu say, in these
• times of political intrigue and personal ambition,
how soon the increasing and encouraged spirit oi
abolition in the North may not compel the Com
i mercial Advertiser to fall into the current of fa
naticism and sectional policy—the above looks
like an entering wedge, and while men aspiring
to high distinction are fanning this unholy tlame
and writing letters to the Legislatures in favor ol
, abolition, and talking openly of that wicked and
rcvolu'ionary spirit becoming ere long lire pre
vailing and governing spirit of tire North, it may
be well to examine lire ground attempted to be
occupied above, ami the charge that the South
is the cause of abolitionism in the North. When
men feel that Urey do wrong, and comprehend
the unworthy motive of that wrong, they fly to
any excuse, to any palliative to justify their
course. Abolition sprung tip in a spirit of fanati
cism, but, like all bigotry and superstition, would
have been buried by the enlightened sp rit of tire
times, had not ambitious men, whose political
principles had been condemned by two genera
‘ tioris, fanned this spark into a (Lone, and made
this revolutionary spirit a mere hobby to ride in
to power, to strike at the influence and just right.-
of the South, and to concentrate a Northern led
ing, even at the prospect of violating the compro
mise of the Uouctitutidh, and raising the torch u
lire incendiary.
That the South is in part to blame cannot he
doubled. Day after day we sounded tiro alarn
—we cautioned the South against suppor ing
any candidate fur the Presidency who was re
cciving tire support of -the abolitionists, on thi
ground of-bis corning from an anti-siaveholdinf
Stale —we pressed upon lire South tosupp »rt oru
of their own men —we urged it upon Virginh
and North Carolina to vote for a candidate born
in Virginia, with whom tire South would lie mfi-
They preferred a Northern man, and although u
strict justice it should bo said that lints far the
President has acted in ported fairness to tin
Soutli on tire abolition question, yet lie is and
ever lias been a make weight politician, governor
by time and circumstances —and abolitionist, it.
short, if it shall turn out to lie the strongest side
That the South, however, is to he charged with
being the cause of abolition, is absurd and pre
posterous. The South found itself possessed o
slaves before the war of Independence, and n
that war the South, the abused South, the conn
tty of slaves, as it was called, gave the most hero
1 ic proofs of patriotism, and furnished the hriglu
i cst stars in the national banner. Ihe Northcrr
, and Middle Stales, in organizing a form of Gov
eminent, cheerfully, freely recognized the righn
and privileges of the South; and up to the admin
• istration of the younger Adams, not a whispoi
, had been heard of violating the compact of tin
revolution. Fanaticism, however, cornu.enccr
its work, and the South was continually haras.-
| ed, vexed, insulted and tormented by this unwar
rantahle and mischievous interference with thei
slaves, which threatened at once the peace, th
comfort and the safety of their domestic insiitu
lions.—That the peop eof the South fed and te
i sifted this indignity, this invasion ot their right,
may he teadily believed; hut that llrcir just indig
nation and warm remonstrances should ho s
i constructed as to make them chargeable with th
spread of abolition doctrines, is as wicked an
unprincipled as it is really absurd. Abhntiot
1 however, confined to old women and fanatics, is
- harmless question, but when politicians seize uj
on it as a stepping-stone to advancement and tli
establishment of dangerous sectional difference
it must be watched, guarded and prostrated. \\

Extract of u Letter J'ru/n Lord (Lene'g to I tie
Eurl of Out hum, G. C. Jl. dated Outlining
street-Jnn.'ib,
la order to lay the ground foi the permanent
settlement'of the questions which agitato Low
er Canada, ami also of those which create divis
ions -between Upper and Lower Canada, it will
probably be found necessary to resort to soma
legislative measures of a comprehensive nature.
Lint before sueh measures tan be framed and sub
mitted to Parliament, it would be highly dedta
' hie to a ceila n the wishes and opinions of the
j people id both provinces regarding them.
This object could best he attain' d by a person
i a! communication oil your part with such per-
I sons selected from each province as may bo pre
sumed, from their station, character and influ-
I i nee, to represent the toolings of their fellow
country men in general. It seems advisable
J therefore, to authorise your lordship, if you
1 should so think lit, to call around you a certain
I number of sueh persons, with whom you might
take counsel on the most important affairs of the
two provinces; the lime of meeting of such com
mittee of advice being left entirely to your disi
cretion. \ou are therefore empowered to select
three members from the Legislative Council of
Upper Canada to attend sueh meeting; and to
invite the House of Assembly of Upper Cana la
to nominate ten ol its members for the same
■ purpose. Under ordinary circumstances, llio
same course would be pursued with respect to
the Legislature of Lower Canada. Hut if (he
; b.'ll now hefoiu Pailiament should he passed into
I a law, recourse must he had, during the suspcti
| sion of that Legislature, to another mode ofsup
-1 plying the deficiency.
You will, accordin ;ly, during such suspension,
j select three members of thu body at present com
posing the Legislative Council; and will lake
measures fur calling on the electors in each of
the live districts into which Lower Canalfci is
now divided, to persons to sit in the
Committee. Your Lordship can obviate any
difficulty which may stand in the way of nolding
such elections, by an ordinance for this purpose,
to he passed by the authority of tho Governor in
1 Council.J
The Committee will thus consist of twenty
six np'inburs, over whose deliberations you
will of course preside. , ,1
'Tito Committee being thus formed, yon
will bring before them the subjects on which
you desire to receive llieir opirimi and advice.
Among the most important of these are the
questions in debate between the two Candian
prov iices.
In the last session, Loth houses o‘s Parlia
ment passed a resolution, “That great in
convenience has been sustained by ills Mil-*
justy’s subjects inhabiting the Provinces of
Upper and Lower Canada, from the want of
some adequate means fir regulating and
j adjustitjg questions respecting the trade and
commerce of said provinces, and divers other
questions wherein the said provinces have a
common interest, and it is expedient I hat the
Legislatures of the said provinces respect
ively be authorized to make ’proy.ieioti for the
joint regulation and adjustment of such their
common interests. ’*
It is dear that some plan must be devised
to meet the just demands ol Upper Canada.—
It will bo for your Lordship, in conjunction
with the Committee, to consider if tins should
not be done by constiluiing some joint legis -
lative authority, which should preside over
allqicsttcns of common interest to tiie two
provinces, and which might bo appealed to
m extraordinary cases, to arbitrate between
contending parties in either; preserving how
ever, to each province its distinct Legislature,,
wi It authority in all matters of exclusively ,
domestic concern. If this should be your
opinion, you will have farther to consider
what should bo the nature and limits of such
authority, and all the particulars winch ought
to be in any scheme for Us
establishment.
The constilClional act of 1791 will supply
another subject of deliberation, with the view
to determine what measures may safely he
taken to correct the delects which have hith
erto interfered, at least in the lower province,
with its successful working. The constitu
tion of the Legislative Council Itao formed the
chief topic ol complaint with the House of.
Assembly of Lower Canada, and they have
insisted dial the only remedy is to be found in
making tho council elective. On tins sub
ject the following resolution was last year
pas-’ed by both Houses of Parliament: “That
in the existing state ol’ Lower Canada, it is
unadvisable to m ike the Legislative Council
of that province an elective! body, but it is ox
pud etit that measures bo adopted lor securing
to that branch of the Legislature a greater '
degree ol public confidence.”
It will be for you and the committee to
consider in what manner the judgment thus
pronounced by parliament can best be carried ,
into effect.
There are oilier very importat subjects re
garding which you will probably think it right (
to consult the same advisers, —such, forex
ample, as the provision that should he made
:to meet the necessity expenses as the civil j
government in Lower Canada —the slate of
the la v affecting the tenure of land property
in that province—the establishment of a court -
for the trial of appeals and impeachments.—
There is, in truth, not one of the many inter- ,
eating questions relating to die good govern
ment and well being of the two Canadas,
which might not very properly engage the ■
attention of the committee.
On all the subjects which 1 have specified, ,
and on others which may come under the no
tice of the Committee, your Lordship will
prcbably have to recommend the adoption of
some legislative measures in th n country. —
Vou will transmit to me an explanation of
■such measures in the fullest detail, in order
that the Government may consider of the
propriety of submitting them to Peril iment.
You are authorised to fix tlie times and
places of ihtf meetings of tho Comrnntco. to
adjourn them from time to lime, and to frame
all regulations necessary lor tho despatch of
business. You are vise empowered to dis
solve the Committee at your pleasure.

Feels his last doalh-gripo on the. brink of doom,
And las[ hangs o’er his features at the tomb !
Ago well may love such constancy rn woo—*
(htn virtue’s self more fit in attachment show 1
What wonder then, our hero near hisend,
Should seize the proll'ered hand of such a friend 1
What wonder in his will it should appear
That friend alone bad won his dying eat !
He leaves bis treasures to the fat (best I ace
Os his descendants, which the lews embrace.
Holding—from such injustice ’(would appear—
The distant scries dearer than the neat :
So warms the sun the mountain’s loot below,
And leaves the nearer summit to the snow.
His pet of offspring in his dear cstaie.
Which all must hend l« nurse till far.host dale—
Children are higs, to hand the money down,
Pipes io convey—for uses not their own,
Save the lew drops that gather at the side,
Their lips thirst vainly for the passing tide,
liut soon, or late, the wailing harpies sweep,
And scatter to the winds the darling heap,
ilis money his, that drives you milling steeds,
And you mad ciow id' supping vampires feeds ;
’jt’.s his descendant holds lh’ ignoble chair,
Outruuring all his clamroun comrades thorn.
’ i'is ever thus —lull piles, not wisely spread,
Will fall in ruin on some passing head.
The waves, when gentle, of wealth's useful sea
(five health and vig r in their motion flee ;
But, tossed 100 high, ere they their level gain,
Curl, break, and plunge their t icier io the main.
Perchance bo gives. Ins thousands to the poor—
He well may give if hot lie ran use no more.
What willing charity !—gives,dares he say ?
He gives, hut not till Heaven has snatched away.
What base presumption in a mortal clod !
We are but Icmiiils, and our landlord, Cod ;
What now we use, is soon 10 others tree—
We rent iho dwelling, but hold not lbs fee.
Much js, too oft, tbe money- maker’s und—
Such are the ills that hoarded wealth attend.
Ye wise philanthropists ! whoso ready hand
Has swept so many evils Irumfthe land ;
Ye’ve warred wild drinking—can ye nut restrain
This rank intemperance in the thirst oi gain ? \
Kiso ! and unite to check the rash desire—
Ye nerd not total abstinence require ;
Adopt the chart ot Nature's liberal laws—
Ye smile—hut is it an unworthy cause 1
Is it not certain us the planets roll,
Who drinks from gain’s in orienting howl,
Maddened, and reckless with the fiery draught,
Thirsts ever while a drop remains unquulVed.
Oh ! is not such intemperance an ill 1
Is not the curse wide-spread, and grow ing still 1
Does it not sink, in its undue pursuit,
Its victim to the igno-ance of the brute?
Does it not all the claims of kindred smother ?
Bet chjid ’gainst parent, brother against brother?
Buvo crime from jaw, und every pulse restrain
Which throbs ip pity lor anolnor’s pain ?
Dethrone the mind from honor's lolly seat, 1
To mate with cunning, and low-lived deceit ?
Bob foes, cheat friends, and, with unfeeling smart,
Blab with ingratitude the trusting heart ?
Are not wives slighted for the golden glare,
And ctnldien left without a father's care ?
Dues it not wring the straitened widow’s sigh,
And force the shivering orphan's hunger-cry 1
Merging the victim of Us foul caress
In heartless, powerless, sottish selfishness ?
And, mure than all—can spirit-wings comply
Alter such grovelling—when we b.d them lly !
May nut a golden lulling, 100 profound,
Uisic the soul’s bark to slurry haven bound ?
May not complaints which morbid thirsts imparl
To drunken body, seize the drunken heart!
And can a people given to gain’s excess,
When clogged with moral dropsies, hope for less 1
Does not tois palsy in our nerves of trade— r
"I'liirf vile “ dejinuin tremens” —hence invade ?
Ala» ! we feel the drunkard’s sale 100 well—
Excess, though lute, will bring its own sure hell.
Buch is the raging mania of the lime —
And such Its Iruiis, pride, ignorance, folly, crime,
Uh ! was I wrong u call tlie evil son: ?
There is lint ono intemperance can do more.
And that, for every evil in ils train
I'll find a rival ’mid the ills of gain. [use
My tale is told—may Heaven, which deigns In
The humblest tools, give motion to my muse;
Discharge her shaft, which else must strike in vain
The double mail that steels tbe breast of gain,
Tbus limy she rouse to thought soinu sluggish
heart—
Thus cause some reckless, rushing soul Io start :
Not idly, then, has she beguiled the lime,
Nor rashly winged the ether-realms of rhyme.
Oh ! never more my satire’s sacred dart,
For vultures, barbed, seek out the sparrow’s heart;
Nor waste on petty trifles of the hour,
Or private weakness, its resistless power ;
But pierce the mighty evils of the age,
And gleam, as onward sweeps ils whistling lage,
The dread of folly, and the lire of crime,
Ami viitoe's safeguard nil the death of Time.
