THE ADVOCATE. BRUNSWICK, (Ga.) SEPTEMBER 14,1837 PUBLIC MEETING. The Citizens of Glynn County, favorable to the proposed Convention of business men at Augusta, are requested to meet at the Court House, in Brunswick, on MONDAY, 25th inst., at 11 o’clock, A. M. for the purpose of choosing delegates to attend the Convention. FOR SENATOR IION. THOMAS BUTLER KING. We insert this gentleman’s name in our col umns as a candidate for the Senate from Glynn. In hiking this step, we arc notactuated by any fear of defeat, but simply view it as a mark of respect to which he is entitled from the Bruns wick Press. To Mr. King must be prescribed the present attempt to render serviceable a healthy Port in Georgia— to his untiring per severance, both in and out of the Legislature, is Brunswick indebted for the aid which the State has bestowed, and for the formation of a Company willing to risk its capital in opening a communication between the Altamaha and Ogleththorpe Bay. And his election is essen tial to the more complete developement of the capabilities of Glynn. These things, however, are well known to all the citizens, and they who have been served by him before, too well appreciate his character, to require any infor mation in regard to it Every man, however worthy, must needs have enemies; for one, we are apt to distrust the man of whom every body speaks well—the fact of his having ene mies, is but warrant of his worth. Some of the secret foes of Mr. King, have whispered that he has recently attempted to rob the |>oor and deprive the County of its School funds, by placing a head right on certain vacant lands in the neighborhood of this city, generally sup posed to have been appropriated by the State for the benefit of education. The Trustees of the Academy, “good easy men”construed sev eral statutes of the State, as giving them own ership of these lands, and there the matter rested. Mr. King having occasion to examine the subject, carefully traced the title till he found it had never been yielded by the State that these lands were vacant in the eye of the law, and liable to be entered and run up by any person. lie secured them to himself, and though he could obtain a large sum for his plat and grant, he holds them solely for the ad vancement of his favorite project, the growth of Brunswick. This land he will convey to. the Company which takes up the stock of the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road; thus add ing to the inducements for capitalists to engage in th;s great undertaking, and making another sacrifice for the speedier and surer creation of a populous and healthy mart on the coast of Georgia. Had not Mr. King lawfully possess ed himself of these lands, other individuals would have run them up, and thus the County lost entirely, what the citizens have always supposed was public property. It will be borne in mind, too, that a portion of these lands were sold for $16,000, and the money appropriated for the purposes of education. A sum much larger than the w hole tract would have produced previous to the exertions of Mr. Kjng. And now instead of keeping this land foV i.is own advantage, as he has the most undoubted right to do, both moral and legal, he uses it only for the public good, and is anxious to yield it up w hen assured he will attain the end he is seeking—the construction of a Rail Road to the Chattahoochie. The Trustees of the Academy, actuated by honora ble motives, have consulted some of the most distinguished men of the land, and learned that they have no right to institute any legal proceedings, and they having discharged their duties, will undoubtedly rejoice in their escape from a course of conduct, which must have been exceedingly irksome. We have made these remarks, for the purpose of explaining to those w ho were not present at Bethel on the 25th of June, the acts and motives of Mr. King, and of silencing, by the publication of the impor tant facts, the false rumors and slanders which have been circulated through the County. “What private griefs they have, alas, I know not What made them do it.” It may be thought, we are departing from the principle laid down in the prospectus of this paper, that it should have nothing to do with party politics. The error of such an opinion will be corrected by reflection. The reasons "Inch call forth our support, it will be seen, have no reference to the views of Mr. King, on certain abstract questions—nor to his sup port of, or approbation to, the present adminis tration of the General Government In many of these particulars we differ widely from him —hut considering the peculiar position of <j]ynn—the necessity which exists for his elec tion, we believe even his political opponents "ill cast aside every political consideration, and yield him a most hearty support as the one, of all men, best calculated to promote the leading object of his public life—the advance ment of Brunswick. Having agitated the ques tion of the Academy lands, and entertaining n ° tears in regard to the result of further dis°- cussion, we shall be happy to lay before the people of this County, the opinions of any who take a different view. And we will add, that “Citizen of Glynn,” whose disinterested generosity may prompt him to bestow gratui tous advice on his less discerning neighbors, will find our paper, if not so Valuable" at least, much more extensively circulated in the Coun ty, than any published in the immediate neigh borhood. The columns of the Advocate are open to any discussion properly conducted, and it shall serve as no ground of exclusion, if the bodily weakness of which “a Citizen of Glynn” i complains, should again extend to his mental activity. The Jacksonville Courier and the | Texian Question. The leading editorial of j a recent number of this paper, is a violent and j most unjust accusation against every man at | the North, who is opposed to the admission of i Texas into the Union. The charge is very j gravely made, that “British Gold!! /” has j bribed the Northern Press, and to the corrup- j tion and dishonesty of their hearts, must be j ascribed the opinions expressed by many, hith i erto unimpeachable men. The charge is so perfectly ridiculous, that were it the first time we had heard it, we should have been tempted to exclaim with Dominie Sampson, “P-r-o --d-i-g-i-o-u-s!” But the editor, unfortunately, cannot claim even the credit of originality for his foolery. The very same charge, w r e saw, with mortification, made by a Northern editor, who attributed the indifference, manifested by , the Press in regard to the troubles in Canada, 'to the influence of “British Gold.” The ac cuser is the veritable Jack Downing, and we were inclined to look upon his railing as merely a rhetorical flourish —but our neighbor of tbe Courier does not appear to belong to the school of laughing philosophers, and we are [ reluctantly compelled to believe his words are i said in earnest. As such, we will reply to ‘ them and endeavor to remove the very unjust ; and unworthy opinion he entertains of his | Northern brethren. Should he take the trouble | to turn over his old files, he will find that the | revolution in Texas was most warmly and en , thusiastically hailed by the Presses at the ; North—the feeling was as strong as that which pervaded the country in the days of the brief, but brilliant struggle of Poland, or to go furth er back, to that of the Greek revo'ution. They rejoice that a fair portion of the earth is rescu ed from the cruelties of Mexican tyranny —they have given a cordial welcome to the new na tion—they are willing to do all the Constitu tion, with the most liberal construction, will permit—but nothing more. Let the editor of the Courier point out to the North any clause of that sacred instrument, which will authorise the act before he begins to talk of British Gold. And what is this act—it is to add to tiie con federacy a foreign nation—not creating a new State from the common Territory—not giving freedom to a son arriving at age—but admitting an independent and foreign power into our league—receiving an entire stranger into the family. Does the editor recollect the opprobrium heaped on Mr. Webster, (whom he drags into the scrape) for his proposition in fa vor of Greece ?—or the hue and cry raised at the Panama Mission? Texas has declared her self an Independent Nation—the United States have acknowledged her Independence, and by accrediting a Minister near the Court of Tex as, and the reception of her Plenipotentiary, have placed Texas on a footing with all other nations. We cannot therefore treat with Mex ico—for we have already declared that she has nothing to do with the question—it must be a matter of treaty with the sovereign re public of Texas ; and the Constitution just as much authorizes the admission into the Pinion of Siam or Borneo, as of our new neighbor.- Whenever the editor of the Courier will do away with all constitutional objections, we may offer some reasons founded on tire inex pediency of the measure. Drawing our blood from the cold Northern clime, we cannot stand silently and hear charges of tlii3 nature made without replying j to them, and though henceforth we are to be a citizen of the South, we should be unworthy 1 of our new friends and new home, did we net vindicate the character of the North when un justly assailed. We will join w ith our neigh bor in denouncing the movements of the Abo litionists, but he must not confound with these j worst enemies of their country, all who oppose \ the unconstitutional measure of receiving for- ■ eign powers into the Union. “Patching Elbows.” Under this caption the editors in many of the Northern cities, are in the habit of picking flaws in the style, or pointing out the mistakes in “Syntax and Pros ody” (as Murray’s Grammar reads,) of their brethren. There is abundant material at the South also for such labor; but we are inclined to say “hands off.” The truth is, newspapers are written, read, and forgotten in a hurry ; and these editors are the wisest who do not trouble themselves to court the graces who after all may make fools of them. When we were young, “long time ago,” and first com menced writing for the Public eye, as the phrase goes, we were as particular in the style of our writing, as in the cut of a coat or in the tie of a cravat. But after a time we discovered that our labors in neither respect were duly appreciated and have therefore cast aside all care and rest content “to speak right on.” Yet editors have their due share of influence. Hamlet’s remark on the players may well be applied to them, “for they are the abstract and brief Chronicles of the time.” And though their labors are so speedily for gotten they yet go far to give form and fash ion to that sovereign of the age, Public Opin ion. BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. Fires in London. Os 564 fires which oc curred in and around I.ondcm during the last year, the following are the causes, as far as the same could be ascertained by diligent in quiries made by the firemen, immediately after the occurrences: accidents of various kinds, scaraely avoidable 11; apparel taking fire on the person, 2 ; bed curtains set on fire by acci dent, 71; accidents with candles, 51; cases of palpale carelessness, 18; portable charcoal fires, 2; children playing with fire, 6; fires kindled on hearths, 5; defective and foul flues and chimnies, 72; fumigation, 9 ; sundry gas accidents, for the most part occurring from gas-fitters during progress of repairs, 38; gun powder, 1; heating of hay, lime, Ac. 7; sparks from lamps, 2 ; linen incautiously hung before fires, 21 ; ovens overheated, 6; loose shavings ignited, 13; sparks from fire, 7 ; defective set ting of stoves, &c. 38; application of fire heat to various purposes of trades and manufac tures, 34; tobacco smoking, 1 ; unknown, 96 ; wilful, 8; window curtains catching fire, 35. The number of fires where one or more build ings were totally destroyed was 32; where one or more seriously damaged, 134; where slightly damaged, 397. Whale Ships. According to the Bristol Gazette, there arrived in the United States du ring the month of April, 89 whale ships, viz. 58 at New Bedford, 6at New London, 6 at Sag Harbor, 3 at New’ York, 4 at Stonington, 4 at Warren, and 9 at other places, bringing in the immense quantity of 63,130 barrels right whale oil, and 21,525 barrels sperm oil, be sides the usual quantity of bone usually taken on right whale voyages. The whale oil at 40 cents is worth about $950,000, and the sperm ut 90 cents, about $620,000; the bone per haps $200,000, in all about 1,800,000. This is an average of $30,500 for each ship. The erection of an insane Hospital at Aug usta, Me., is rapidly progressing. The beauty of the location, is said by the Age, to be unsur passed. About 100 men are now employed on the work. The building is to be 292 feet in length ; the main building four stories in height and the two wings three stories each ; and its appearance in point of architecture will be in ferior to no building of the kind in New Eng land. Something New. Mr. Badger.'the late popular editor of the New York Weekly Mes senger, whose health has been so much impair ed as to rmuler it necessary for him to reside at the “Retreat for the Insane,”in Hartford, the past year, has, with the assistance of Mr. Can field, and other printers*(who kindly furnished the press and type) and with the approbation of the, Superintendant of the Retreat, com menced a weekly paper, called the “Retreat Gazette.” One or two other unfortunate prin ters in the Retreat, it is said, assist in the w’ork; and we presume the whole chaotic genius and talent of the inmates will be elicited through this weekly sheet In the first article it is re marked, that “although there are many news papers that are crazy enough in ail conscience, we know of none [but us] that acknowledge themselves to be so.” The first number, which we have received, contains sprightly and amusing matter, and some articles more sane, than may be found in a professedly rational paper. Price, $2 in advance, the profits to go to the support of Mr. Badger’s orphan children. We should like to transmit subscriptions to the “crazy folks” Gazette. Cheap and Profitable Travelling.— The Cincinnati Gazette of July 20th says, that a gentleman, just arrived in Cincinnati, sailed from London on board one of the packets ten weeks before. He paid cabin passages for nine persons to New York, remained there in one of the best hotels three weeks, traveled with his family of nine by stage, canal, and steam, to Cincinnati, when counting his money he found himself possessad of thirteen hun dred dollars more cash than when he left Lon don, after the payment of all his expenses ! He brought his funds from London in sover eigns ; these he sold at a premium in New York, and received notes of the Bank of the United States in exchange, and, upon convert ing those into the currency at the market ex change at Cincinnati, the result came out as stated. One of the Misses Grimke, while holding forth in an abolition lecture at Newburvport, a few evenings since, stumped so severely with her feet that she lost off one of her garters , which was found in the pulpit after she left. A ship is a sailor’s world, and, in a sai lor’s eye every thing must be shaped and nautical. An ancient mariner entering Westminister, Abbey for the first time, halted before Shakspear’s monument, and conned over the old fashioned letters for ming the first line of the inscription— ‘The cloud-capt towers.’ Os course the sailor regarded the words in a profession al point, and remarked to a messmate, ‘Why Bill, here’s the tombstone of my old skipper, Capt. Towers ; I knew he'd slipped his wind, but never knew as he’d been appointed to The Cloud; that’s a craft as I never herd on.’ Three sailors, anxious to rejoin their ship, and unable to procure seats in the stage coach, hired a horse and gig. The vehicle was a large, old fashioned article, mounted on a pair of very high wheels, and having endured many years of hard service, grumbled most audibly at every jerk or jingle. Thehorsc fortunately was steady, for the sailors were totally unacquainted with the management of ‘the land craft.’ Upon starting, one of the crew picked up the reins, and said to his mate, ‘Well, strike me lucky, if this ain’t a rum go. Look ye here; some lubber has tied the tiller rope together.’ Aknife was procured, and the reins separated, when the spokes man, who sat in the middle, handed them right and left to his comrades. ‘Dick, hold on here to larboard. Jack, yon here, to starboard, while I look out ahead. The pilot’s direction ran something in this shape. ‘Larboard—put her nearer the wind, Dick. Larboard a pint more, or we shall foul the small craft. She answers the helm well. ‘Bout ship. Give her a long leg to starboard, Jack, just to weath er that flock of mutton. Keep her a good full—she jibes!— port your helm,or you’ll run down the bloody wagon. (A crash and a general spill.) I told you so—and here we are. Latest From Europe.
