A gentleman of this city, who sailed from New
York on Saturday evening last in the brig Dia
mond, ailived here on Wednesday evening on
the Rail Road from Charleston.
We regret lo learn that in many counties in
the State, our friends do not sc-cm lo be. awake to
the necessity ol energetic and concerted action in
reference lo the approaching election for members
of Congress. When the ticket of our opponents
was announced, it was looked upon on all hands
as the weakest ticket in point of ability and popu
larity, that hail ever been presented to the people
of Georgia, and our frienils every where anticr
paling an easy triumph over it, have in many pla
ces suffered themselves to he lulled into a false se
curity which may lose us the victory, which wc
had already considered as achieved. Wo say to
our friends awake, arise ! Are Stale Rights prin
ciples less worthy of support now than formerly,
or bre lbcdoctrir.es of our opponents less obnox
ious 1 Arc the great and unchanging principles
upon which *c are united, so soon lo he forgot
ten, and arc wc lo he deluded Irom their support
hy the wiles anil tricks ol our adversaries! 1 heir
only hope of success is lo he found in our divis
ions and our apathy, and wc earnestly hope that
our friends will be sufficiently wide awake lo
blight the hopes which have been built upon such
foundations. Let our friends then in each and
every county arouse themselves to their wonted
zeal, energy and activity—let them go forward in
the contest with an unshaken deierminalion lo
redeem the character of the Stale from Ihc point
of inferiority lo which tire weakness and itribe,,
cility of recent representations have reduced it in
(he halls of Congress. Wc triumphed last year
in the election ot Governor, and shall wc now hy
our own supineness and the artificies of our ad
versaries, suffer ourselves lo be defeated, when it
is so easy to retain and secure our ascendency!
Against such an event, we call on all our friends
once more lo unite and rally before it is 100 late!
Wc learn from the Army and Navy Chronicle,
that, upon the representations of Governor Gilmer,
of the inefficiency of thn present military force in
the vicinity of the Okefenokee swamp, the Secre
tary of War has authorised the employment of
five hundred mounted militia for three months.—
An officer of the army has been Instructed to
muster troops into service, and a Quartermaster
and Commissary despalched to provide the
necessary transportation and supplies.

J Dates to the 18th, from the Republic, have been
received at New Orleans. The journals contain
e ,iu,c ot ' material interest. The recent stories of
invasion and slaughter arc false; tranquility
' prevails in every section of the country. Altho’
e llle Houston papers appear apprehensive that the
raising ot the Mexican blockade by the French,
, w RI bo the signal of the invasion of the republic.
I Mexico, instead of being weakened by the present j
course of the French, will be better prepared to I
, prosecute the war with vigor. The blockade has |
1 imparted something like concord to the internal I
factions of that country, and is prompting them j
to a resistance which will give them more strength I
and uniiy. W'e have the strongest confidence, J
however, that, as the little republic exhibited
lion-like qualities when she was hardly out of her !
swaddling-clothes, will, now that she has become •
a strong stripling, give all her enemies such a
lesson that they will be glad to retire beyond the
reach of her arm.
'Tlte Indians, according to Capt. Taylor, who re
cently travelled 300 miles beyond tlie Trinity and
visited all ot the tribes, have expressed themselves
to be the wa meat friends of the republic.
The crops in every part of the country are said
to be unusually tine and abundant.
David G. Uurnett is recommended as the can
didate for the office of Chief Justice, left vacant
by the demise of Judge Collingsworth.
Robert Wilson is the only opponent of Gen.
Lamar for the Presidency., Since the death of
Col. Grayson, little doubt seems to he entertained
of the success of the latter.
The Intelligencer says, of the growing impor
tance of Houston :—“ As an indication of our
destined greatness, emigrants and travellers gene
rally accord to our city an eligibility oi location (
unsurpassed by any upon the Gulf. Wo have i
now in progress of erection several large and 1
commodious warehouses, an extensive wharf, a 1
well ventilated and convenient theatre, rapidly .
increasing proposals for the building of a court 1
house, and the strongest inducements for the 1
completion of a church. The moral character oi 1

our population justifies the belief that ere trlar.y ,

Extract of a letter.
“Mexico. July 6.
j “It is the general opinion that the Quixotic
: blockade upon our shores, as it began ex im
proviso, will terminate quite as abruptly—a
: /arioso movement, closing rele.ntandu pianisimo.
The resolution of the good Louis Philippe
may be expected here shortly, and if he docs
run his head into a war with a power more
than two thousand leagues oft) let him take
die consequences which will be pretty serious,
viz. a repetition of tbe Jackson drama of
1836-7, with two or three changes of scene
to England and oilier countries aggrieved by
the same. Such is the view all sensible men
take of Ibis business, persuaded as they are
that the said blockade was d-wised and enier.
cd upon without any calculation as to the re
sults, under the delusion that some half dozen
of the ships of war of la grande nation had
merely to appear oil’ the Mexican coast, and
that the point would be carried by a coup de
main. Rut monsieur was mightily deceived;
lie looked on for some lime in amazement to
see dial the ruse did not tak,‘, and sailed back
again to carry home the astounding news. —
In the meantime die real sufferers by this ridi
culous farce of a blockade are tbe French
residents among us. Poor fellows ! it is real
ly pitiable to see die state of distress to which
they are reduced, shrugging tip their shoul
ders at one another by tbe hour together,
and jabbering over the grievances which their
own unthinking countrymen have broubgt up
on them.
Their situation is truly distressing ; they
are blockaded front all kind of communication
with their neighbors ; no one buy s of them,
no one sells to them ; from every side they
are looked upon with evil eye. Rut 1 did
wrong to say there was no communication; on
the contrary, such of them as are in debt, and ,
die number is not small, arc pushed by their
eager creditors with a perseverance that leads '
to scenes of a tragic-comic character, but in '
which the comic evidently predominates.—
Many among them are furious against their 1
own government for not having calculated
things belter, and provided for the worst.— 1
't hey see tluu tbe Mexicans have really dared 1
to raise their voices, to a man, against such an 1
undue assumption of power ; and, what is
more, they see that the same Mexicans are
also ready, to a man, lo raise their hands in
defence of sacred rights assailed by the ug
gressor. Another tiling that has appeared lo
them a real phenomenon, is the fact, that
while the custom houses of the dill'erent ports
have been mill to 4-ho Government, it has
augmented die national army by an addition of
0,000 ed'cctive men ,- that tneir pay lias been
regular, and Iheirappoinimepts all that could
be desired ; that a more liberal spirit is foster
ed among us ; that several Spaniards have re
ceived commissions, and been appointed (o
places of trust; in a word, that their threats
ol evil from without have tended to much
good from within, to dissipate all private and
selfish views, to tighten die bond of unity, and
foster the good genius of patriotism. In a
word, I feel confident that this appaient evil
is to be I'.roduc ive of the happiest results,
whose benefit will be felt from one extremity
of die republic lo the odier.
“There is also another tiling which the
French residents among us cannot contem
plate widiout emotion, and that is the con
trast exhibited between their own Government
and that of the United Slates of the Nin th,
with regard to existing relations. While all
is violence, menace and acrimony, on the part
of France towards Mexico, the land of Wash
ington is following out the pacific maxims of
that father of their country, and claiming daily
for herself a deeper and more enduring hold
upon the good feelings of her neighbor.”

Prom the Life ol u Great Statesman.
NUMBER VII.
The promptness with which Mr. Calhoun
repelled an attempt to prove Ins connection
with the Administration, is of recent occur
rence, and of course is remembered. He dis
claimed the right of others to “define his po
sition,” and judging from Hie fidelity with
which all that tails from him is caught and
treasured up, 1 bad supposed that this golden
rule would have been extended in its applica
tion to others. In this, however, it seems that
I was at fault; I mis'ook a privilege to the
person, for a right to the public. Accordingly,
llio attempt has been made by some of bis lol
lowers, to assail the author of these numbers
as a partizan of Henry Clay! That Mr. Clay
is possessed of administrative talent, is, per
haps, in the language of u great master ol the
day, “a complex idea, requiring analysis and
explanation. Ho is not, it is true, (as some
ot his contemporaries are) always treading a
slack wire, with a balancing pole in his hand
as a proof of his extraordinary activity, and
in this would probably deter lo the Bedoins or
to the Unveils. It is also true, that in making
his approach to a proposed print, his habit has
generally led him lo prefer ihe straight lo the
circumflex; always taking the Pennsylvania
Avenue with a meridian sun to walk by, in pre
ference lo the marshes of the Timber, with a
flickering exhalation for his guide. It is per
| haps, lurther true, that his excellency is not
like the Aphyux, in constructing a paradox, in
the solution of which he is to display the as
tonishing facility with which the most striking
absurdities, may be reconciled, and the most
crooked of all things may apparently be m ade
straight. It is true, moreover, that many ot
the wise men of the country, and some ol
our own Stale, have regarded him as having
not only an extended, but a d stincl honz >n
s in which it has been said that he not only hac
• j the eye to see, but the finger to direct the or
-I der, arrangement and complete tievelopemerii
of its resources. I have hoard it said of him
, i too, that of all the great public men in tin
1 country, in circumstances calling lor del.be
ration and self command, he was always pro
o I eminently fortified, not with a rash and pre
! cipitate confidence, but with a stair! and re.sa
I lute calmness. ns Car removed from that to
i menty in which weakness takes refuge (ton
I its own fears, as from that apathy jiT whicl
ignorance seeks to shroud itself in forgetful
ness; aml that being poised, sagacious, fa
sighted and culm, ho never failed to see hr
way through the difficulties by which he wa
I surrounded; and that without his heart falter
mg or his head misgiving him, ho was always
the first clearly to decide upon the right am
firmly lo pursue it, regardful o! his country
but regardless of himself. Ji has also been
said, that he was not only, gallant, spirited and
magnanimous, but entirely I rank, and free from
all artifice; and that those who could notes,
teem him a friend, orsustain him a* a confede
rate, never (ailed to respect him ns an adver
sary, not assailing your strong holds from the
cover ot masked batteries, but opening his
whole line of ha'lle lo the artillery of the op.
posing host. These traits have been issigned
to the Senator from Kentucky, with wliat jus
tice those who know bun cun best decide;
but, true or false, they can avail him nothing
in Smr.li Carolina. Her policy, in affairs o"
Slate, has keen selllcd to be the Platonic.
Unless she can have a lover of her own chuo
; iug, she has decided lo remain a vestal. The
propriety of his determination, in reference to
the conflicting claims of Mr. Clay or Mr. Van
limuii, it is not my purpose to draw into qncs
tion; (let South Carolina preserve her armed
neutrality between the belligerents,) but 1
must be permitted lo agree with Mr. Jim
dolph, that as a gcneittl maxim of political
conduct, “principles, not men” is about ns un
profitable an abstraction as ‘dove, not women.”
With the policy of Mr. Clay, however, so
far as his public career lias disclosed it, Kiy
concurrence lias been confined lo a solitary
measure, and oven in regard to that, if | ) avo
had correct items of his plan, we could never
make the most distant approximation upon
the detail. And entertaining and expressing
this opinion,ns I do, in nil (rankness and sin.
eerily, it occurs to me, that I present la r claim
not to have the livery of this statesman forced
upon my shoulders, at least by the followers
of one, who sustaining Mr. Van Huron upon
a cardinal measure of policy, and ns yet op.
posing him in nothing,is defended in disclaim,
ing all further connection with his admiuislia -
tion. “A Clay man!” ilavo wo already
reached that abyss of degradation, in the tar
ly youth of our republic, when the spirit of
subservience has so possessed itself of men’s
tintures, mu! so debased them, that they must
not only acknowledge a master themselves,
but provide a master for others! Is there to be
no concurrence of minds upon a subject mu
tually considered, without (io cmjdoy a favo
rite phrase of Mr. Calhoun) the inferior be
coming “ absorbed ” in the superior understand
ing, literally swallowed up like the rods ol the
magicians? Hut more, is one mind not only
lo bo merged in another, hut the subject in the
person, and the superior became nut only the
incarnation of the principle, butllio “(Jod in
all and over all,” who concur and support it?
When and how has it become the order of
things in South Carolina, that one freeman is
lo be represented as having what is equivalent
to a written hill of sale of another liee
innn in his pocket, by an equivalent, ids
legation of the absolute supremacy of bis
opinion and of Ins will, as a practical
guide for another who concurs with him?
lias it been since the Legislature tamely pass
ed under the yoke, in that most empty of all
mockeries, the aflirnance of principles which
it was morally impossible that they could have
understood, or that they could ever he made
to understand ? I forebore to accuse the sub-
Treasury party of South Carolina, either as
the confederates or partisans of Marlin Van
Buren ; simply warning diem against the con
lamination of a contact so vile and hut lately
so loathsome, and in return their drill sergeants
and corporals have forced into my hands the
bounty of Henry Clay, and placed upon me
the badges and vestments of his service !
He it so. Those who offer the public a cari
cature as a likeness, will of course, not com
plain, if in turn, they arc brought under the
hands of the limner—with u promise, how.
ever, voluntarily given by the irlist, tbal the
picture shall be taken true to nature. The
reader will not suppose, then, that 1 am pre
senting him with a pure fancy sketch, when
I bring lo his view the rescue from destruc
tion of a dismasted and shattered craft, by
one of those “long, low, black looking
schooners,” so often described as roving the
waters in the neighborhood of die Havana or
Matanzas. Upon the figure head of the for
mer, be will imagine the liniarnents of Rey
nard the Fox to be portrayed, while llic latter
carries upon her bowsprit the “cast iron”
features of one, whose deep and furrowed
out-line would bespeak him a rover upon eve
ry sea and in every clime for ibe last quarter
of a century ; and when he has given to each
ils proper designation (to the former, “the
Administration,” and to die latter, “the South
Carolina,”) he will have before him a pic
lure, not only of succour and salvation from
the perils of the deep, but a symbol of a con
junction, in which the associates were appa
rently united in a common destiny, and as part
ners in a common fate. And such a union
: At the time of their grappling, the helmsmai
, of “the Administra ion,” is supposed lo have
been a man from New York, whose name
i think was Wright; her Captain was said l<
i he one Thomas H. Benton from Missouri
her first Lieutenant, Amos Kendall ; her pur
. ser, l-evi Woodbury ; her clerk, Francis V
| Blair ; and her ship's crew and passenger
. were of a species of rabble lately designate!
' by the appellation of “loco-Coco !” Upoi
the quartet deck of the other vessel stood i
■ man of robust person, sandy hair, and chalk)
complexion, who, from tlie important am
r officious air with which he issued orders, wiy
' supposed by superficial observers to have
s been highest in the command ; but bis ven

i- Mr. R. M. Whitney has replied to another at.
L " lack upon him by the Globe. The tight is most
1 ,1 furious, and some delectable developments arc |
n made. We extract a specimen:
e i.ji is a matter of universal notoriety ibat Gen.
I Jackson issued bis peremptory mand.i c to all the
lo i Departments to give all their printing, &e. to the
i;: editor of the Globe. This he calls the “popularity”
r- (l s the President! Through the public favor a
’• large circulation was obtained! This is another
r» deception It is well known that nearly every
td one who had any thing to do with the Govorn
•n mcnt, directly or indirectly was, put under con
st tribulion lo the Globe, public Departments, public
y contractors, mail and others, public officers, also;
<1 and even the attempt was made through myself,
f s as agent of the Dcpostle Hanks, lo lay those banks
c under contribution to the Globe, because they
y were connected with the Government as deposi
;n lories of the public money. I did not choose to
le “stoop” to undertake such an agency.
m The editor of the Globe does not venture lo
v give the least explanation respecting the numerous
■ falsehoods that 1 proved ho asserted in the first
111 article.—Ho could not make an explanation. He
f c was obliged lo acknowledge, by his silence, that
111 he stood convicted of uttering “base falsehoods."
il He does, indeed, undertake to give some expia
te nation respecting hia attempt lo get a bank in
m | Kentucky appointed a rlcposito bank. Hut in
'•’# ibat, be has only made the mailer worse, by his
I explanations, as I will show; and ah-o prove him
on j guilty of reiterating falsehood.”

U is astonishing what implicit reliance our op.
ponenls place upon names, and the facility will,
which liny use, bandy and change them, is won
derful indued. I u siting all the names together
wnh which they huv u chrisicntd themselves
would make quite a vocabulary. They have at
one and another lime been Union, Republican,
Jeflorsonian; Jacksonian, Democrats, Van Daren,’
anti-Hank. Hub-Treasury, .State Eights men, to'
which might lie added Turililos, Force Dill IVo
eb.mationisls, Deposit Seizors, and Specie Circu
lar men. And they have been equally industri
ous m fastening names upon their opponents,
such as the Nollies, Disunionists, Dank Federal
is!-, Ac. &c. Dul flow wo are lo know or fixe
ibis Van Duien parly by any of iho names which
they have adopted, is indeed difficult. They
have heen fixed lo no principle but one, and that
is lo ffd office, and foi ibis they avow all creeds
and professions. At one time we find them con
tending zealously for the unity and indivisibility
of the federal government, and prescribing all who
dared to dispute its omnipotence; and iidiculing
the lours ol those who apprehended difficulty Iron,
ihe machinations of the Abolitionists. 'Phis they
said was a ciy rai,-cd by Nullificrs for edect. At
another time they speak calmly ami collectedly
of dissolving the union, and charge die nulhliors
with being allied to die abolitionists because
they are unwilling to incur the responsibility of
dissolving the Government. At one time John
U. Calhoun and others are traitors and rovolu
lionists and they speak with seeming patriotism
ol butchering their families and hanging the con
spirators on a ga lows ns high as Hainan’s—at
another, the same men arc in their estimation lit.
tie less than Demi Gods, and worthy of dm most
exalted offices in the gift of the people. At one
lime, they arc printing the “ Proclamation ” on
satin and hanging it in gift frames in their hous
es, at another, they are repealing like parrots iho
doctrines ol Slate Rights often told them lion, the

At one time they are creating Dariks in every
village in Iho southern country, and again they
are opposed to all flanks and all corporations.—
They establish and applaud the sy»[, m of the Pet
Hank depositories, and with Iho next breath vilify
and traduce their own scheme. In short, there is
no end lo their shameless inconsistencies; hut
perhaps noun is so reckless as that now, whilst
(rom every Democratic month is heard the hue
and cry against a union of Hanks and government
and the shoots of praise for a hard money curren
cy, this identical party are filling die land with
shin plasters, and have earned their inconsistency
so far as lo set the very Government to manufac
