THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, (Ga.V AUGUST 24, 1837.
[From the Athens Banner.]
Sir, —The following Circular has been ad
dressed to a number of intelligent merchants
and other gentlemen, throughout the Southern
and South Western States, and as the subject
is one of deep interest to the productions and i
commerce of those portions of our common
country, it is very much desired to give it as j
general notoriety as the time allowed for the :
convention will permit To that end it is re- j
spectfully recommended that the presses fa- j
vorable to such proceedings, republish the fol
lowing article, and that meetings be held for
the purpose of not only enlightening the pub
lic mind on the subject, but of extending the
information of the contemplated assemblage,
and to make arrangements to be represented
therein. In pursuance of this last suggestion
as'the Commencement occasion will, by rea
son of the great collection of citizens from
every part of the State, furnish a good oppor
tunity for such a meeting, it is respectfully re
quested of all who may feel and take an inter-;
est in this important question, to meet in the j
College Chapel on Tuesday evening, the Ist of
August next, at 4 o’clock.
CIRCULAR.
Athens, Geo. July 21st, 1 837.
Sir, —A crisis has arrived in the commer
cial affairs of the South and South West; a
crisis the most favorable that has occurred
since the formation of the American govern- j
rnent, to attempt anew organization of our j
commercial relations w ith Europe. We ought
to be our own importers and exporters, for the
very best reason, that we furnish nearly all i
the articles of export in the great staples of
Cotton, Rice and Tobacco. This is a singu
lar advantage for any people to enjoy.—Yet, J
with all this in our favor, by nature, w e em- !
ploy the merchants of the northern cities as '
our agents in this business. They export
our immensely valuable productions, and im
port our articles of consumption; and from
this agency they derive a profit which has en-1
riehed them; and as long as it continues, will
enrich them, at our expense. It has indeed,
either directly or indirectly, made the whole
of the North and North West what they are.
It is time this unequal state of things should
cease ; that we should look to the natural ad
vantages of our situation as southern men:
and take measures to secure to ourselves the
full enjoyment of them.
Should your views be in accordance with
ours,we propose, respectfully, that a convention
of Southern and South Western merchants be
held in the city of Augusta, Ga. on the third
Monday in October next, then and there, to
take into consideration the whole subject, as
it stands connected with our present and fu
ture interests.
We beg that you will not think lightly of
this matter. It is a most important one ; in
volving the interests of millions yet unborn.
We are, very respectfully, your obedient
servants, WM. DEARING,
11. BOWDRE,
JAS. CAMAK,

It is gratifying to observe occasionally, in
papers engaged in party strife, such articles
as the above. It is a gleam of sunshine
bursting through the storm, and the harbin
ger of more quiet days. This Circular has
been republished by many of the papers of this
State, and seems to meet with general appro
bation. In Athens a meeting was held during
Commencement week, and resolutions passed
in unison with the sentiments contained in the
circular. While, as the conductor of the
Brunswick Advocate, we most cordially ap
prove of this call, we deem it too restricted.
Why are the merchants to monopolize the
projected reform ? Have the planters, the me
chanics, and the professsional men no interest
in the matter ? and should not their views and
opinions be sought ? The merest tyro in politi
cal economy, knows that the various callings
are too closely connected to have separate in
terests. The merchant, farmer and artizan are
all contributors to the wealth of a country and
equally interested in all which concern it. A
movement like this, to ensure its success, re
quires the union and concentration of the en
tire strength of the country. The mer
chants should seek the aid of their neighbors
—it will be in vain for them to attempt to car
ry through such a measure without the active
co-operation of the entire community. By
these remarks we do not wish to throw dis
couragement on the project, but rather to add
to its feasibility by increasing the number of
those engaged in carrying it through. We no
tice with pleasure the comments of our con
temporaries. Let all unite in the general
principles and the details can be arranged af
tenvards. ,
Let the South engage in commerce and i
each State will share in the harvest in pro-!
portion as it has engaged in the culture.
The Savannah River Swamp. A recent
number of the Augusta Constitutionalist con
tains a correspondence between Edward j
J. Black, Esq. of Scriven and Dr. J. R. Cut
ting, the State Geologist, on the subject of;
draining the extensive alluvion of the Savannah
River. The report of Mr. Black to the Leg
islature made in tiie session of IK 15, is a val
ubie document showing a knowledge of the
subject and a public spirit worthy of emula
tion. Dr. Cotting has lately made a geologi
cal survey of these lands and is of the opinion :
that an embankment can be constructed at a
comparatively trifling cost. The subject de
serves the attention of the Legislature, and
at the next session, we hope a survey un-;
der the direction of a competent Engineer will
be ordered. The reclaiming of a tract of i
fertile country, 130 miles in length and one in 1
" idth, and the transformation of a vast cy-'
press swamp into cultivated farms, is an object!
°f magnitude sufficient to receive the aid of j
the State.
Maria Monk. In another column will be
found an extract from the “New York Com
mercial,” a paper of high respectability, i
conducted by Col. Stone, a distinguished wri- j
ter and accomplished scholar. This gentle- {
man visited Montreal, at the time when the [
vile production of this individual was first
presented to the public, for the express pur
pose of determining for himself its claims to
belief, lie inspected the convent in which !
she stated she had been immured, and which i
was the scene of such unspeakable practices, j
surpassing the abominations of the Temple of j
Isis, which she has published, and the en- I
lightened and refined people of America have
unblushingly read. The result of his exam
ination has been the full conviction of her
unworthiness and infamy. But notwithstand
ing his statements, sustained as are by j
the published opinions of the gentlemen of
Montreal who visited with him the convent, j
among whom were several Protestant clergy
n oj
men, this woman is still countenanced by a j
coterie of either fanatics or hypocrites in the i
city of New Y'ork.
With the religious dissensions of the day j
we have “no part nor lot” Like the preach-j
er’s sermon, we touch neither on religion nor
j politics. But when we see a relentless war
j fare waged on any body of men, for their reli- j
j gious belief we cannot but feel a sympathy
j for them, which almost urges us to wield a
pen in their behalf. For our own part we
doubt much the advantage gained by enlight
ening the understanding at the expense of
j the heart If Catholicism be such a danger
ous system let it be fairly combatted, but do
not pile our shelves with works not onlyabound
j ing in falsehood, but those of such a nature as
1 must inevitably sully and deface the delicacy j
of every one who reads them.
The American Magazine of Useful and
Entertaining Knowledge has now reached its
! third volume, and is one of the best of that
| new race of Periodicals, devoted to the diifu
j sion of useful information in a popular form,
j Lord Brougham, we believe, was the project
j or of this modern system of spreading know
| ledge among the People, and under his super
. vision the Library of Useful, and another of En
! tertaining Knowledge have been published in
j England. Science has been by his means
I stripped of much of its antiquated formality
I and brought nearer to the People, and lie has
thus conferred a benefit on his race of incal-
I cuiablc value. Many of these works have
been republished in this country, precisely as
they issued from the English Press, or form
the foundation for others of the same na
ture. The work at the head of this article
belongs to the latter class, and merits an ex
tended circulation.
The Charleston Examiner, is the title
of anew paper just established in Charleston,
S. C. It is a most decided Radical, opposing
Corporations of all kinds in general, and of
Banks in particular. Setting aside its politics
it is conducted with a good deal of spirit, and
its Editor siiows great independence. The
successful attempt made by a portion of the
citizens of Charleston, with the Mayor at their
head to prevent a public discussion of the Bank
question, we consider an act of gross injustice
and folly. The only method to allay the tre
mendous excitement in regard to the currency
is by a fair and full examination of the whole
subject YY’itliout participating in the Agra
rian opinions of the Examiner we wish it
“fair play and an open ring.”
Late From Europe. News have been
received from England and France up to July
Ist. There is nothing of interest from either.
The harvest of England promises to be very
abundant Cotton is improving in both coun
tries. The London Chronicle speaks in terms
of high praise of the conduct of the Ameri
can merchants. The tone of public sentiment
has been entirely changed within a few weeks,
and the character of American merchants nev
er stood higher in England than at present
“A Mechanic,” in the Charleston Mercury,
in advising a call of the citizens of that city,
takes occasion to display either an utter ignor
ance, or wilful falsehood on the subject of
Brunswick. YY'e shall notice his “botched
work,” in our next number.
Mr. Jones’ School. YY’e attended an ex
amination of the scholars last week, and can
safely recommend Mr. Jones as an honest,
conscientious teacher, competent to instruct
in the common brandies of an English Edu
cation.
Abolition or Oaths in England. The
British Parliament have abolished all judicial
oatiis.
Our Sea Wall. This work, so im
portant to a portion of our city, is rapidly
progressing. About 1000 feet have been
completed to an average height of 7 feet
in solid mason work, well finished, and
speaks well for the skill and ability of the
superintending engineer, F. L. Dancy,
Ksq. and the hands employed under him.
It is yet to he raised 1)8 inches. During
the late blow, its strength and utility were
fully tested. The scene presented in the
neighborhood of the wall was beautifully
grand. The angry waves rolled on with
an almost overwhelming force, and dash
ed with fury against the wall, throwing
the spray 20 or 30 feet into the air. The
wall sustained little or no damage. [St.
Augustine Herald,
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
From Florida. We learn by the arri
val of the steamboat John McLean, Capt.
Brooks, at this port on Wednesday night
from Black Creek, that nothing of im
portance has transpired in Florida, since
our last advices. The Indians were con
stantly visiting Fort King and profess to
be friendly. They assert positively, their
intention «£emigrating in the Fall.
On Tuesday last, Gen. Jesup despatch
ed Lieuts. Surle and Linnard, with AO
men to examine the Ocklawaha, and to
ascertain how far it is navigable (with
boats,) it being his intention to establish
a post at Payne’s Landing, should it be
found practicable after the return of the
detatchment. [Savannah Repub.
A REVIVAL OF BUSINESS AT New YoRK.
The Mercantile Advertiser, of the 11th
inst. remarks : “Our streets, in the busi
ness part of the city, which for the last
four months have appeared almost like
promenades—so free were they of encum
brance by boxes, hales and casks, we are
happy to state, “now are themselves
again - ’ —piles of dry goods in boxes and
bales—hales of cotton, casks of hardware,
and other articles of mercandize, now
cover those side walks, which wore so
long without their legitimate tenants, and
the smiling looks of the cartmen, as they
rattle over the pavements —and the cheer
ing of the stevadores taking in goods into
vessels bound to the North, South, East
and West, imparts to the well wisher for
the prosperity of our city, a cheerfulness
and life, we are happy, very happy to see.”
The Late Gale. There are painful
rumors afloat of wrecks upon our coast,
occasioned by the late severe gale. Noth
ing having reached us, however, of an
authentic character, we abstain, for the
present, from any statements connected
with the reports in question.—[Jackson
ville Courier.
A letter received in this city, from a
gentleman at Fort Gilliland, says, “The
Court is now sitting. The Grand Jury
have indicted the negroes for the murder
of poor Gilliland, and they are to he ar
ranged to-day.”
Since the reception of the above, we
learn, by an arrival from Black Creek,
that the negroes in question have been
found guilty, and are ordered for execu
tion on the ensuing l Monday.—[lb.
Capt. Lor ing from Turks Island, state*
that two vessels had been cast away near
j there, having provisions on board; and
j that so far from the inhabitants being in
ia state of starvation, salted provisions
I could not he sold for the cost in the U.
J States. And the lowest price for salt was
11 1-2 cents per bushel for Bills oi*tlie
IU. S. or 10 cents per bushel specie, in
j addition to which 1 4-100 per bushel ex

| recently built at Duxbury, is now lying
iin our harbor, called the Mart) Chilton ,
: in honor of the first woman who landed

er. llow far, how very far was it from
j the thought of the gentle dame, when her
foot touched the shore, that the event
would he remembered and commemora
ted two hundred years afterwards, and
her name be written and printed ten thou
sand of times, and a noble barque become
her cenotaph when the place of her rest
was known no longer.—[Boston Tran
script.
Danger of Moderate Drinking. —Do
not say that I exaggerate your exposure
to intemperance. Let no man say, when
lie thinks of the drunkard, broken in
health and spoiled of intellect, ‘1 can nev
er so fall.’ lie thought as little of falling
in his earlier years. The promise of his
youth was as bright as yours: and even
after he began his downward course, lie
was as unsuspicious as the firmest around
him, and would have repelled as indignant
ly the admonition to beware of intemper
ance. The danger of this vice lies in its
almost imperceptible approach. Few
who perish by it know its first accesses.
Youth does not see or suspect drunken
ness in the sparkling beverage, which
quickens all its susceptibilities of joy.—
The invalid docs not see it in the cordial
which his physician prescribes, and which
gives new tone to his debilitated organs.
The man of thought and genius detects
no palsying poison in the draught, which
seems a spring of inspiration to intellect
and The lover of social
pleasure little dreams that the glass which
animates conversation will ever he drunk
in solitude, or sink him too low for the
intercourse in which he now delights.
Intemperance comes with noiseless step
and hinds its first cords with a touch too
light to be felt. This truth of mournful
experience should he treasured up by ns
all, and should induce habits and arrange
ments of domestic and social life in every
class of the community. [Dr. Channiim.
The wonderful propensity of Europeans
to rob the Americans of the fame of hav
ing accomplished any thing great or glori
ous, puts us in mind of the following gen
uine anecdote: An Irish officer, upon
seeing a beautiful picture sketched upon
a wall in America, exclaimed it is a fine
painting —hut it was never done in Amer
ica. “Oh, sir,” says his friend, “don’t
you see it is on a solid wall, and therefore
must have been done in this country ?”
“Ah,” replied he, “ I see that plain e
nough, hut I only meant that the man who
did it, was never in America.”

yorels. Talcs, Biography, Voyages, Travels,
Reviews, and the .Yews of the Day. It was
one of the great objects of “YY aldie’s Library,”
“to make good reading cheaper, and to bring
Literature to every man’s door.” This object
has been accomplished; we have given to
books wings, and they have flown to the up
permost parts of our vast continent, carrying
society to the secluded, occupation to the lite
rary, information to all. YVe now propose still
further to reduce prices, and render the access
to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac
cessible; we gave, and shall continue to give,
in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, for less than four cents a
week, and to add, as a piquant seasoning to the
dish, a few columns' of shorter literary matters. (
and a summary of the news and events of the
day. YVe know, by experience and calcula
tion. that we can go still further in the matter
of reduction, and wc fool, that there is still
verge enough for us to aim at offering to an
increasing literary appetite, that mental food
which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever
| so great a favorite, will continue to make its
weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for
binding and preservation, and its price and

America, but oil very superior paper, u\so,fil
ed with boohs, of tile newest and fnost entertain
ing, though, in their several departments of
Novels, Tales, Y'oyages, Travels, &c., select in
their character, joined with reading, such as
should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to accomplish a great good ; to en
liven and enlighten the family circle, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall be no con
sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in
| book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru-
I dent, and to do it in a manner that the most
| sceptical shall acknowledge “ the power of
| concentration can no farther go.” No book,
which appears in YValdie s Quarto Library, will
be published in the Omnibus, which will lie an
entirely distinct periodical.

PROSPECTUS OF
The Hiper imen I.
IN issuing a Prospectus for the publication of
a paper, the undersigned will depart from a
s usage more honored ip the breach, than in the
j observance, and make no promises which it is
not his design to fulfil. “The Experiment,”
after a trial of almost 12 months, has not failed in
securing for the Editor, the attention and pat
ronage desired ; and it is confidently believed,
in rendering to subscribers, at least an equiva
lent for the pittance they contributed towards
its support. Gratified for the encouragement
manifested, desirous of making his little paper
worthy the patronage of an enlightened and
generous public, the subscriber has determined
to enlarge it to nearly quadruple the present
dimensions, so that it will contain nearly four
times as much matter as it now docs. Thus
will be afforded greater space for his own lucu
j brations and those of correspondents, together
j with Advertisements and judicious selections.
I It may not he inappropriate here to remark, that,
' lor want of room, some of the best communica
tions lpivc been excluded, and occasionally in
! teresting matter, difficult to condense within so
i small a compass. YYith increased labor and
expenditure, he must hope for increased re
j ward; and consequently, tile subscription price
for the second volume will he One Dollar in
advance, or One Dollar and Fifty Cents, at the
expiration of the year. This alteration, it will
| be perceived, is not in proportion to the change
I of size in the paper; the times being hard, we
are willing to work as low as we can, to save
I ourselves from debt, to please our patrons and
i ourselves also.
| Advertisements, as heretofore at 50 cents per'
j square for the first insertion, and 25 cents per
| square for each subsequent insertion.

j vance, by doing so, will not only save theni
! selves a heavy interest, but enable us, with
j more alacrity and advantage, to prosecute the
