AIIO USTA- Monday Maniing, September 2.1. “Principles not inon. - ” Whenever a political aspirant intends to aban don his party for the sake of oilier, he mounts the fence and commences to preach “principles -not men".’ He vows that ho is consistent, has no idea of abandoning his old friends, or his princi. jdcs, and after persuading himself that his fiends have abandoned him, still prating “principles, not men,” he gets down upon the other side and becomes the must abusive opponent of his form er friends and principles. Whenever an Editor has been bought up by a trip to some sea port city, or with the promise of a few additional subscri bers on the other side of the liver as the reward of his apostacy, he becomes all at once very im partial, very dignified, finds fault first with otic thing, then with another, deal j a stealthy blow now upon his former fiends, and smiles a gra cious smile upon his former adversaries, and dtus he too mnmils die fence with the honied phrase “principles not men,” upon his lips! In duo sea son he is down upon the other side, and quiets Ids conscience with the self persuasion (hat his old fiends have abandoned him and his old op ponents “come over” to him, and that he alone of all mankind has been consistent, firm and faithful! We have been led into (liese remarks by the recent course of the People’s Press, which has become a full blooded Van I’urcn paper, and in an article on Friday last, headed “ principles, not men,” calls upon the Siaic Rights men ofGenrgia to follow it. In order In show to the State Ilighls’ men of Georgia w hat sort of a leader ii is that calls upon them to rush with him into ihe embraces of Van llurcnism, we publish the fol lowing “Extra” from the office of the People’s Press, dated October 3d, 1837, which alter an, nouncing the result of the Election in Richmond county and giving a stale of the polls, says— “ Thus at Icnglh has principle triumphed ! and thus far have the people spoken in their primitive purity again. We feel gratified at the result of our Election, not as the success of a Parly, hut as the success of a People contending for the great ends of Principle. The issue has been —Van Huron—and Anti. Van Huron, and J Richmond has decided that she is not a Van Hu. rcu County. Let us feel grateful then, not at the overthrow of a parly, hut at thn success of great National Principles Let us believe I hat those who have differed with us in opinion, have done I so conscientiously, and lot us at the same time, endeavor to make them believe that wo have not differed with them for iheit injury, but for (he I good of our common country. —“Nut that we lov ed Caisar less, hut that w'e loved Rome more.” Wo do not wish any body to believe that the Editor has changed or has been at all inconsistent. We only wish to prove by his own wrillcn testi _ mony that the result of that election was a “ tri umph of principle,” ami in achieving dial triumph \ the “people spoke in their primitive purity.” Wc have Ids evidence too that die issue then was ! “Van Buren and Anti-Van Huron,” and that! Richmond then decided dial she was “not a Van i Buren County !” Van Huron was llicn a Cic- i sar, whom it were a virtue to kill—he is now he- I come the brazen serpent in the wildcrncs: - , whom ] iit is salvation to look upon ! Whence this ! mighty change in Van ? The Editor, we know /ms nut changed ! Is it because Van recom menced the sub treasury? Oh no ! he had done that in his message at the extra session in September, and that message had been published in the People’s Press prior to that election, the result of which was announced as the triumph of principle over \an Burcnism! Speak thou sot d sanl apostle ot “j riuciples not men,” and lel j us whence this mighty change? Fur the Chronicle ij- Sentinel. Dear Con ; —Not having heard of you for a long lime, and anxious to Know whether you arc in the land of the living, and also, it you can inform me whether I live in ihe present age induces this epistle. Now if I understand rightly, you and I weie once good Nullifiers. No, you were on the other side of the river, and of course a Stole Rights min. At any rale, wo wore op posed to the usurpations of the General Govern ment, and desirous that the monied and political powers should not ho blended. So far we have agreed, and I trust still agree. Cut really, when I have observed the course of some of'our emi nent statesmen and politicians, I am ala loss to know where I am, what the latitude and tangi, i tude, and on what coast I am to land. We arc told that it is nccoaaaiy to disconnect the government Prom all banking institutions; that it is unconstitutional, impolitic, an* 1 corrup ting; and that wo must have a Sub-Treasury scheme independent of the fluctuations of trade, and unconnected with all stock-jobbing, banking, sic. Now, Ido not intend to go into the merits of these questions, hut that our good State Rights men should take up, and advocate a measure originating with the last administration, and at tempted to he matured by the present, is not what I have been prepared for. It has upset all my theories of government, and ns I said, thrown mo out of my latitude and longitude. To sup pose that such a measure, emanating from the present administration, would he upheld and supported as a fetatc Rights measure, is new to me and totally unexpected. It may do to serve party purposes, hut that it will advance the true interests of the country, I have my doubts. The advocates of the Sub-Treasury schemer say that those who do not support it, are recreant to the Slate Rights parly. Do you suppose that Mr. Van IJuren, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Poinsett, or any of the old administration party, believe it to he a Stale Rights measure ? Would they who have so thoroughly advocated the Proclamation and Force Rill have proposed it, if they thought it would have been received as contradicting their lornicr creed, which brought them into power ? Do you suppose that they have any more respect for Stale Rights now, than they had before; or tint they would have hazarded so much, when they had so little to gain ? Take rny word for it, there is nothing like State Rights about it. I tel! you what I think of it—l believe it to ho a bait thrown out by Ihe administration for the' South to bile at, and contrary to my expectation, some of our leading men have greedily taken it, much to the satisfaction of those who expect to profit by it, a ltd doubtless will, for it is impossible that a Southern candidate ran succeed under present circumstances—tbougb I wish it were otherwise. Some of the advocates of this Jackson, Van Durcn, Consolidating Government, Slate Rights Sub-Treasury hobby, (or in plain English, hum bug*) I believe are honest in their views—but that others use it to cover their somerset over to Van Burcnism, I have little doubt. Witness one of the regular toasts, at a dinner lately given to the Hon. R. 15. Rhctf. ‘ The President of the United Stales—A Nor thern man with Southern principles.” Now I have always believed that lie had no fixed prin ciples—but the boasted author of the famous Walterborough resolutions, has suddenly dis covered that this Northern, Anti-Slavery, Force Bill, cut-throat President,' is a man of sound Southern principles, and of com re a good Nulli ficr. If I knew how to express the war whoop, or any other sudden exclamation, I would, after this, let you have it 1 ! 1 But why proscribe the State Rights party be cause they will not take the bait, when they occupy so good a position, and by dividing them we loose the only sttong hold which the Somh possesses. I tell you as a Nullifier, which I am and always will he, that I can never support, for a high office at least, any man who believed that the President and his minions, had the right to cut our throats when 'hey pleased. But the times arc out of joint. The ship of Stale is at sea without rudder or compass, and God only knows what will become of us. Yours, | TOM LONG. Boil Shout, Esq,- 1 r nlisir Tot it Dissolutions.—A suit was tried iu (lie N. \ . Circuit Court, recently brought by a Mr. Bugler against Corning & Spence, to recover $l3OO, the amount of a bill of goods sold by plaintiff to Spence, and charged to the firm two months after its dissolution. As no positive evidence was adduced to show the dissolution I had been published, the jury give verdict for j plaintiff to the amount claimed with interest and i cost. From the Mont real Courier, of the Blh. Canada. Criminal Court.— I The trial of those ebarg. cd with the murder of Chartrand, having uccil pied the close attention of the Court for two days, ! terminated yesterday, in the jury returning aver ■ diet of acquittal. This lri.il has excited a great deal of interest, though not more, perhaps, then } its importance merits, —and we shall therefore j take the earliest opportunity of laying as full a detail of it as possible before our readers, j The Montreal Herald, notwithstanding its hor ror of Lynch law, openly calls upon the volun teers ol Montreal to lake vengeance on the ac quitted prisoners, and on the jury who acquitted them- l'' ur example!—. brother of the murdered Charlrand was in court, in a slate of frenzied agitation, and we do not wonder nt it. Define him were four men, who. like savages, placed their victim at n tree and deliberately killed him by a discharge of mus ketry, not beenusu ho had any ties’ile feeling against them,hut hecanso he. was honest and loyal; and near him were twelve men who committed what many call a most deliberate and wanton |ioi jury, screening the murderers from justice. The and nt law allowed a man to revenge his broth er’s death, and, if ever there was a case in which such a course was justifiable, it is the present. Deeply will this verdict rankle in tha breast of the volunteers, and, should the opportunity ever arrive, it will ho avenged in blond. Yes, volun teers, one of yourselves lias been lirtse.ly murdered; your enemies, hy whom he was tried, have refu sed atonement for his Mood, mid it calls aloud upon you for deep, ample vengeance His late might have hocn yours; the very men who com milled the vilo atrocity are again nt largo on the world, and the impunity with which they have committed one murder, may induce them to make a similar attempt on any of you. One foul out rage upon society has been added to another— unpunished murder and apparent perjury. If the law is insufficient for our protection, wo must protect ourselves, and if it is insufficient to pun ish offenders against it, they must not be, on that account, allowed to escape. Extract of a letter from Detroit;—"Wheal has become n drug; the season has been propitious, and the hard labor of the farmer amply repaid by a boumiful harvest.

Pictuue or Onrnox.—Thu following synop sis, as it were, of the great Oregon Country, and region of the Rocky Mountains, is la! e i from a review of Parker’s recent woik in the last num ber of the Knickerbocker: "Spread before you, reader, a map of that por tion of this continent which stretches westward from a line with the Council Bluffs, on the Mis soni! river, and with the above named work in your hand, follow its author in all his j lurneyinga, until you reach with him that bound coast, where mountain barriers repel the dark rolling waves of the Pacific, which stretch without an intervening island, for live thousand miles, to Japan. What a vast extent of country you have traversed; how sublime the works as the Creator, through which j’nu have taken your way! We lack space to follow our author in the detail of his wanderings, and shall not, therefore attempt a notice at large of tiio volume under consideration, hut, shall en deavor to present, in a genera! view, some of its more prominent features. Mr. Parker was sent out hy the American Hoard of Foreign to,dons, and lie appears to have been eminently flhfnl to his trust, amidst numerous perils, and privations, which arc recorded, not with vain boasting and exaggeration, hut with becoming modesty and brevity. His descriptions, indeed, arc all of them graphic, without being minute or tedious. Define reaching the Black Hills, lie [daces before us the prairies, rolling in immense seas of verdure, on which millions of tons of grass grow up hut to rot on the ground, or feed whole leagues of llanic; over which sweep the cool breezes, like the trade winds ol liie ocean, and into whoso green reces ses bright eyed antelopes bound away, with half whisiling snuff leaving the fleetest hound hope lessly in the rear. There herd flu Imffiloe;, hy thousands together, dotting the landscape, seem ing scarce so large as rabbits when surveyed at a distance from some verdant Muff, swelling in the emerald waste. Suhlimcr far, and upon a more magnificent scale, arc the scenes among 1 the Rocky Mountains. Here are the visible footsteps of God! Yonder, mounting peak above peak, ten thousand feet heavenward, to regions of perpetual snow, rise I lie Titans of that mighty region. Hero the traveller treads his winding way through passages so narrow that the lowering perpendicular cliffs throw a dim twilliglit gloom upon his path, oven at mid day. Anon lie emerges, and lo ! a ealeract descends a distant mountain, like a belt of snowy foam, girding its giant sides. On one hand mountains, spread out into horizon tal pianos, some rounded like domes, gnd others terminating the forms of pillars, pyramids, and castles; on the other, vast circular embankments thrown up hy volcanic fires, mark the site of a yawning crater; while far below, perchance, a river dashes its way through a narrow rocky I passage, with a deep toned roar, in winding mazes, I in mist and darkness. 1 oiiow Ihe voyager, as lie descends the Columbia, subject lo winds, rapids and fails, two hundred miles from any whiles, and amid tribes of stranger Indians, all speaking a different language. Here, for miles, stretches a perpendicular basaltic wall three or four hun dred feet in height; there foam the boiling rd dies, and rush the varying currents: on"one side opens a view of rolling prairies, and through a rocky vista on the other, the beams ot the morning sun. Now llio traveller passes through a forc-t ot trees, standing in their natural posi tions, in the l>ed of the river, twenty feet below the water’s surface. Passing these, he comes lo a group of islands, lying high in tlie stream, piled with tile coffin-canoes of the natives, tilled with their dead, and covered with mats and split plank. He anchors for a while at a wharf of natural basalt, ami presently proceeds on ins way, Riiding now in solemn silence, and now inter rupted hy the roar of the distant rapid, gradually growing on the ear until the breaking water ami leathery foam arise to the view. Pausing under a rocky cavern, l.y the shore, formed of semi circular massess which have overhrowed the stream lor ages.‘frowning terrible, impossible lo climb,’he awaits the morning; I sliming during the night watches lo hear the distant tilth ——‘icverberato the soim-J Os | artod fragments tumbling from on high.’ Sut *i arc die feat tires of the missionary 's coni -e, until the boundary of the ‘Far U’e-i' n reached, and he reposes (or a lime, from ills lung and toil some journey.” ’ ‘’bo following excellent remarks from tl.o j'eti ol Iho editor of the New York Courier &. le ijuirer, will be read with peculiar interest . at t lie present moment, when public attention t is so deeply engaged wit It thesnbject of Allan | tic Stonm Navigation. Col. Wentt lias eros , soil and recrossed the Atlantic in the Great a Western, and is fully competent to give an excellent opinion in tho pictures. The arti cle will bo its own best recommendation : | Atlantic Steam Navigation. The annunciation that English enpita’ists ; have not embarked in the construction of . i steamers for the navigation of the Atlantic 1 ; with the readiness which was anticipa’ed by c: many, appears to rise a doubt in the minds of . some, whether the experiment has ns yet been a lair y tested; and consequently whether the 0 period has in fact arrived when the navigation a el the Atlantic hy steam is to be continued, • ami prove both secure and profitable. As wo have experienced the advantage of c i a passage by steam to ami from Europe,—and 1 feeling a deep interest in the subject, look cv ■ cry opportunity of informing ourselves m rein turn to the practical opera!.on of ibis grand “experiment” ns it was then considered—wc propose briefly to say a few words on the sub s jeet. Wo are nware that there exist a few among the Packet Captains, who consider ev il cry attempt to facilitate the introduction of r steam in the navigation of the Atlantic os a (l.rect assault upon their interests, hut we are 1 1 proud to add, that these arc hut exceptions to ' ; the general rule, and that generally speaking, j the Packet owners and captains, (I,ml all Um s captains are owners,) not only lo ik with favor , upon the success which has lima far attended . the experiment, hut arc anxious to render every aid m their power lo insure Us success. , True, most of litem believe, and wc think , truly, there wu 1 bo business enough m the I way of freights, for both Steamers and Patk i ots; but if this were not. the case such is the spirit o( liberality and love of enterprise which 1 character ze this class of our follow citizens, that they arc willing to lose sight of all perso nal considciafions in their desire to advance the cause of science, ami improve the means . of intercourse between the Old ami the now f World, ’f o the liberality and enterprise of r our Packet owners, the energy, perseverance , science and skill of our Packet Captains; and . to the unequalled character of our Packets 1 their comfort, safety and regularity, added to , the luxuries which they have afforded to all who travelled in them—:s the city of New York and the country at large indebted to an • extent which is almost inappreciable. And although the introduction of S cam will, bo. yond all doubt, materially injure their useful . ness in the conveyance of passengers and the I carrying of news between the Old and New l world, yet all who arc guided by correct feel, mgs will forever be mindful of what wc owe lo the Liners, and hold m gaatefnl remem brance those who sailed and controlled them. I his is the age of improvement, and what was I invaluable but yesterday, is too often rendered uttolCHS iii n few hours hy the (lovelopcmcnls , ol'science and its practical application lo the , every day occurrences of life. If, tberef >r-, , the march of irugrovt.lll nt .-not.in iiiroot «. in.. I our splendid liners, even those most interested ! in them are prepared to submit with grace, t and will conceit 11 portion at least, of their magnificent cabins into hold— and tints change the character instead of d.mnlehing the amount of the business. In considering the feasibility of navigating the Atlantic by steam, the public have doubted the practicability of carrying sullioictil suel — the comparative safety of steamboats—and, finally, whether these diffi.Millies being over come, they could be rendered jinJUahle. For ourselves wo never entertained any doubt ex cept with regard lo the quest on of profit, and even on this point there is no longer a ques tion in onr mind. , The capital, enterprise, and public spirit of | I the enlightened Directors of “The Great Western Steam Ship Company'’ were never , more usefully employed than in demonstrating . through the medium of their noble steamer, < the advantages of steam in navigating the At lantic; and richly do they merit the approba . tion and gratitude ofevery liberal mindi d man . both in England and America, for their public ' spirit and tearless perseverance. • | Ol the Great Western, wo can with truth 1 j say, that in our opinion, sheis unrivalled as a - { sea boat; and we are warran'ed in adding that ’ j every sailor who lias made a passage in her. ' j considers her safer and more comfortable than • | any sail vessel possibly can bo. In the first * 1 place, she is of sufficient power to make bead > j way directly in the teeth of any gale of wind ’ 1 that she may meet with, and we tnink would * he perfectly safe, even when caught upon a lee shore in the worst of weather; secondly, 1 her great size necessarily renders her less sm ( slide to the motion of the winds and waves; and thirdly, the absence of sails, rigging, &■;. j aloft, in a gale of witid, the width ol her pad . die wheels constantly in motion, and the I counteracting, self operating power, of slcam i , within herself, not only destroys the greater I , | art of the usual rolling motion, but renders [ , the rolling which is inevitable, so entirely dtf- j fercht from the rolling of a sail vessel, that it j , almost censes to be an inconvenience All ■ who are familiar with the Ocean, nro well I > aware, that when a sail vessel rolls, she brings j , up with a jerk which generally sends dishes, ! glasses, tables, and every thing that is movea * ble, from one side of the cabin to another ■ sans ceremonie. But not so w.th the Great Wes'crn, or any large Steam boat. From the ! causes just enumerated, or sofne oilier, when 1 rolling with the heaviest sea directly abeam, * she rolled so easy that it was impossible to 1 determine when she ceased her roll to one ' side and commented her roll back ngain. ' The consequence of this peculiarity was, that 1 in the heaviest weather wo were quietly seated j tillable without the slightest, protection to dish ( cs or wine glasses; and rarely if ever did it j. happen lha’ a wine glass well filled with wine, was in danger of being upset. On our pus, j sage to England wc bud three officers of the / navy and several masters of vo.-sels pa'sen -1 gers vv itli u>, and on our return one officer oi r | the navy and two masters of vessels, and we . j are authorized to say, that each of these re el peatedly declared, that the Great Wes’crn „ j was the easiest sea boat limy ba I ever be, n :■ 011 boa'd of, and in ihi:r estimation, as safe las any vessel in the world. Wo Will take ; tins occasion load*!, tbalhercaptain is n?gen tlemanly a commander ns eoofd possibly be i desired, nnd well qua died lor the important 1 station ho holds. I, But oor object is not to write an article in - favor of either the Great Western or her Couun-iiiik'i'. We commenced these remarks - U' *~ ■ nui« ww-nrw - ~, ~ „, n , || , , lL| , under a conviction that our f, How citizens , i exhibited a lukov, armness m regard to lb s question of Atlantic steam navigation, w 11 c 11 ernes rot become tlic commercial cm * (lornim o( the Union; and having had more than usual rxpenem the matter, wo deem it. onr duty frankly to report the result id’ lliot-f' ob.'U'i vufinns, in Iho liopo of nronsnf ourmcrclinntH to tin- imc.ossilv of making f.mio prompt and efficient. efforts to retain in their hands the carrying and passage trade be tween England and Ameriia. \\ hat we have sh d therelure, in regard to the good qualities of the Great Western, wo doom still more applicable to steam vessels of a larger chos She is of the burthen of I.’MO tons, we believe; ami the result of our obsor vations and reflection is, that site is of the smallest tonnage that can ever prove jmfitahle, and that all well built boats, will bo secure, comfortable and profit .hie just in the ratio of their tonnage.—taking three thousand tons as a maximum. We arc of opinion that it would not cost more than (illy per cent addi tional to navigate a steamer ot three thousand tons than it docs the Groat Western while she would be able to accommodate with per* feet comfort, 250 instead of 75 or M) passed gets, and instead id being able to carry only about, lot) tons ot increhand ze, would, with, out i (convenience to her passengers, very j eas I,- carry seven or eight bundled tons— possibly more.—The great size ot such aves sol would very greatly increase her safety, ns j it is well known that when clear ot' land and I rocks; the safety of it vessel from the action of the winds and the waves, is in proportion to her size. And with regard to steam power, two engines ot three hundred horse power each would propel a ship ol three thousand Inns quite as rapidly as two of 22 0 horse pow er would propel one of 11140 tons Thus the il ilish Queen, although live hundred tons larger than “the Great Western,” has two engines of only 250 horse power each, and she being of 1800 tons bin then and upwards, pio ably engines of less Ilian 1500 horse power ui tli, would he sufficient for a Steamer of 15000 lons. Jsut we take that power as the maxi mum, and argue that under the circumstances would the expenses of running a boat, of 15000 inns be fifty per cent, greater than are the present expenses of the Great Western. It then, wo admit the security of the Groat Western, and of this llieie can be no doubt, and also her ability to carry sufficient coal to make the voyage across the Atlantic and back — which ire know to be the sact —and if, not withstanding the comparatively small size and inability to accommodate us many passengers as offer, or to carry more than 150 tons ol freight,—if wo say, under all llieso disadvan tages, she is still doing a more profitable bu siness than any vessel ever did before, cun there be a doubt of the far greater security and far greater profit in a vessel of three thou sand tons or more, at but a slight increase of expense? One ol the groat objections on the part of many to si earn boats and stea.ru slops, is the apprehension of the constant jarring motion which all have experienced on our River boats. But nothing of the kind has ever been felt on board the Great Western, or ever will be on any steamer properly built for navigating the , A ’ft, , ' |,,m o'"* 1 ” 1 Instead ol l>ci nSlightly consimctod for Kivor navigation and speed, as are all our boats, the Great, Wes tern is built as strong ns wood anil iron can make her. One half of her eul re length in I lie centre, is a solid nm-s of sixteen inch timber, corked, brased and stayed with wood and iron in every way that, ingenuity can do vise; and this effectually prevents the usual tremulous motion of out steam bea'a. Then her engine works perfectly envy as good en gines should, and the engines and boilers be ing in mi iron-cased room to guard inninsl fire, nether noise nor any disagreeable odour is experienced in the cabins rom this source. In tdior , it was very justly sa d by her passen gers on o:;c of bur trips, that it is impossible to j determine when sitting in the silicon, whether bur engines are or are not. in moduli. Bn', say mine id onr capital sis, if the nav igation of tiie Atlantic by steam is as profiia bio a a is gciieraffy reputed, bow is it that En glisli capitulistqgvince an unwillingness to em bark in the en'crprisel The answer is at band,and waknow from capitalists then solves that, it, is the line one: —They am laboring under the full conviction that’ wherievet* we commence building steamers on ibis side ol the Atlantic, they will be faster, belter rrr/ij latod, and belter navigated ; and consequent ly, that we sha'l monopolize the business as wo did the packet business, and English bouts will become unprofitable. This is certainly a high compliment to American enterprise; but it is richly merited ; and wo repeat that w chime tins was too only reason why the or. ganizalinii of a company in Liverpool failed, and why the Grenl Western Company have j not commenced the two ndd.lional steamers some months since determined upon. It the capitalists of England had nothing to appre hend from our enterprise, t he keels of a dozen steamers of not less than t a enty-live hundred i lons, would be laid within ns many weeks. Wiiat then is to be done on this s ; de of the ' water? Where is the first Steamer to be built? j Is the Commercial Emporium—the city of ali others most interested in this great movement, to be first in Ibe field, or is she to sink into a [dace of secondary consideration and give way j to the superior enterprise of the sister of Bro therly Love ? J-’or Hie honor and the interests •of New York wo hope not, —nay, when we know that the principal Packet House in the ! City has come forward with a degree of liber* j nlity which is only in keeping with Us general | character, and offered to take one hundred thousand dollars oflbes’ock of a boat of three thousand tons, wo cannot doubt but other houses will promptly respond to their offer, and the keel of a vessel shortly bo laid, which slia'l be unrivalled in size, strength and beauty. That wo can build a more perfect bull in tins city, both for strength and beauty, than jn any other pert, in the world, we believe there is no earthly question ; it is equally certain that with the great experience of our packet owners and builders, wo can arrange the accommodations of such a steamer as we refer to more jndi cioe.s'y ; and lardy, we do not lies late to say, licit whenever the proper order is given fur engines in which strength, beauty, and perfec t on of machinery is to ho consulted, and not the wsfy.vc can construct quite as good en gines as I'■ e world ran produce.

Colton Jhe market for IJf)lnruls, this week, pre sents the same dull uniformity which distinguished i be preceding ; there is no new fen turn of interest to vary the languid monotony.
