TIIE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK,. (Ga.) MARCH 1, 183a
VVe commend to the particular attention of
our readers, an extract from the New York
Courier and Enquirer, which will be found on
our second page. Many people are very cau
tious and sceptical in these days of speculation,
when they are told in advance, of the growth
of Cities, and of the consequent rise and increas
ed value of property. Caution and deliberation
in all subjects is commendable,and particularly
so in this.
As any renihrks we may make upon such a
subject will be considered as having a direct
bearing upon the projected improvement and
expected growth of our own City, we deem it
proper to state once for all, that we are pre
pared to take it up frankly ind fairly. VVe in
vite examination and correction, whether of
fact or argument If Brunswick cannot stand
upon her own true and simple merits, she must
fall, for it i3 not possible that any deception of
the public, or any self-deception of the pro
prietors, can maintain her.
As is well known, the whole West is stud
ded with projected Cities. Doubtless many
of them will rise to the degree of importance
anticipated. But it is hardly extrai agant to
say that were the projected Cities of America
completed as designed in number and popula
tion, those of the old world would form but a
small proportion to those of the new. The
National Road, which in deed is fast becoming
a National Street, is actually lined with them.
So too are the banks of the Ohio and Missis
sippi, and the shores of Lakes Michigan and
Erie. 5
These facts, not being done in a corner, are
well known to all the.world. That there has
been connected with them much shameful
speculation, is as well known. But it is yet
possible to distinguish the wheat from the j
chaff, and to decide between a laudable spirit
of enterprise and the gross knavery of impo
sition. This discrimination the public will
make. Let iLg|e most rigorously applied to
Brunswick. VVe have no fears of the result. :
But to return to our subject, ‘The growth
of New York. What an admirable picture it
is! ‘Truth is stranger than fiction.’ Indeed
it is. On the very spot where but fifteen years
since, we stepped on shore in the heart of a
city we now find ourselves upon its outskirts.
Rip Van Winkle’s sleep of fifty years, admir
able as it is, awakens images faint and cold,
when compared to the emotions of one now
returning to New York, after a fifteen years
absence. What lie left the country is now
the City. Up-town has become downtown.
‘Whc-re once hts careless childhood strayed’
in green pastures, he now finds almost end
less miles of brick-built streets. The hand
ful of importers, brokers and auctioneers, that
were so easily catalogued—their name is now
legion. Wall and Pearl, and a host of other
business streets, are full of them. Their
Counting Houses alone would make a city.
And where were they thirty years since !!
What a spectacle of wealth, enterprise and
prosperity, do we sec here. Who shall say
that the same causes and the same means
shall not produce the same results. A mag
nificent and capacious harbor, superior to all
others on the northern coast,—a convenient
and extended communication with a fertile
and growing back country, —and a liberal pat
ronage of Ixtf.rx.vl Improvements, lnve
made New York City what she is. VVe too
enjoy the same pre-eminent advantages as to
our harbor. VVe too will soon be connected
with a back country second to none other.
The Alatamaha, the Oconee and Ocinulgee,
and the tortillas, all come to our doors. The
truly Georgian policy of Internal improve
mexts will soon open the West and the .South
west to qs. Extravagant, then, as such pre
diction may seem, we will not in our well
grounded anticipations of success, stop short
of the wealth and prosperity of New York.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Our latest dates are to the 10th February.
The news from there is uncommonly interest
ing, and we much regret that the size of our ■
paper does not permit us to abstract more fully, j
The Sub-Treasury Bill is still before the Sen- j
ate, and the prospect of its being strangled in
its cradle in spite of its dry nurse, Mr.
Wright, is much improved. Tiie Tennessee
Legislature have instructed Mr. Grundy to
vote against the Bill. He has not been to
Washington for forty years to be forced to re
sign in his old age, by any amount of instruc
tions. He has no idea of being dropped from
political life at this late day, and of course
obeys. Mr. Buchanan, too, knows as well the
proverb, ‘Out of sight out of mind,’ and has
announced his intention to obey similar instruc
tions from the Pennsylvania Legislature.
In the House, nothing very material has oc
curred. Bills relating to the punishment of
the malcontents on the Canada frontier—to ex
tend the session of the Choctaw Commission
ers at Tuscaloosa, and a large number of inter
esting private bills, have been before the House.
Its time has also been occupied with an undig
nified altercation with Matthew L. Davis, a
correspondent of the N. York Courier and En
quirer, who writes over the signature of “The
Spy in Washington.”
In the Senate again, Mr. Calhoun has given
his views-jn favor of the Sub-Treasury Bill,
Mr. Webster lias delivered a most powerful
and argumentative speech against it. At the
latest date, Mr. Clay had just closed upon the
•ante side of \ji° question. a most brilliant
speech—good natured and cheerful, yet sarcas
tic, as full as himself of power, wit and good
humor.
ABOLITION.
The following is a record of one of those
deplorable,yet amusing scenes, which are from
time to time, enacted on the floor of Congress.
VVe cannot pretend—though it is our editorial
privilege to be presumptuous—to enough
knowledge of statesmanship and Congressional
policy, to speak on this subject dictatorially.
It does occur to 113, however, that the course
adopted by the majority of Congress, in refus
ing a hearing to the petitions of the Abolition
ists, was unwise. It has had certainly a most
unfortunate influence at the North. However
ready we may be, as a supporters of State
Rights, to‘calculate the value of the Union,”
Heaven forbid that we should under-estimate
it ! nor do we think that it can be charged up
on our party, that they do set any light or tri
fling value upon it.
We say this policy has had a most unhappy
influence at the North. It has given to the
miserable fanatics of the Abolition party a
plausible appeal to their neighbors on the
ground that the right of petition is endanger
ed, a suggestion which at once excites the
most sensitive jealousy. The men, and the
women too, who sacrificed their habit of drink
ing tea rather than submit to the necessity of
a paltry tax, are not of a temper to calculate
whether their political interests at stake are
material or not. They resist the least shadow
of what they even imagine an invasion of lib
erty. Disconnect the right of petition from
£ he question of Abolition, and the monstrous
spectacle of 20,000 petitioners for this right,
as regards the Abolitionists, appearing on the
floor of Congress in a single morning, would
never more be seen. Can true lovers of their
country hesitate upon such a question?
As to the course of Mr. Adams, who in pub
lic life does not know him? And yet, with the
inass of the people, he passes for an abolition
ist. Independent, wayward and obstinate,-*-
persevering in acting upon first and ill-consid
ered impressions,—eager and zealous in what
ever he undertakes, —harsh and capricious in
feeling, he acts steadily with no party and is
a dangerous ally to any.
The public well remember the story of the
pompous ceremony of breaking ground for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Drawn in
splendid equipage, with u long suite of public
officers, following in stately procession, Mr.
Adams, then the President of these United
States, led the way to the designated spot, then
and there with his own 'august hands to make
the first excavation upon this celebrated work.
The ground, as it happened, had not been prop
erly sounded and examined, and upon the first
trial, tiie President struck a tough root or other
similar obstacle. Undismayed by this most
‘untoward event,’ the Chief Magistrate of the
Union stripped himself to his shirt sleeves,
and amid the cheers of surrounding thousands,
addressed himself to the task of forcing his
spade into the refractory soil. With what
success, no history, to which we have access,
relates.
Now, this is an apt illustration of Mr. Ad
ams’s course upon the Abolition question. The
ground when that question first arose, was not
well sounded, examined and laid out. Hav
ing met with serious obstacles, he is now
forcing his spade into it by main strength, and
in doing it, he somewhat indecorously exposes
himself to the public. But he is no more an
Abolitionist than the members from Georgia;
and were he to-morrow to report, from a Com
mittee to consider the prayer of the petitions pre
sented by himself,he would condemn it most se
verely. Mr. Adams and the seventy members,
that lie sometimes induces to act with him,
are influenced by what they consider to be the
i duty of jealously guarding theright of petition.
VVe long to see this question of Abolition
put upon its true and simple ground in Con
gress, —to see it acted upon w ithout reference
to the right of petitioner any foreign question,
—that th# North may show the South the true
hearted and brotherly feeling that exists to
j wards it. Brotherly! did we say? They are
! not brothers, —but one flesh.
Here follows the correspondence alluded to
above of the Baltimore Transcript:
| His desk this mprning was more than usual-
I ]y piled up with these literary productions of
j his female constituents, and on the approach
of his turn to present, he rose and was about
|to state his reasons why he intended to offer
i them en masse, and not as formerly in detail
j when the speaker, who had evidently made up
j his mind for a trial of patience, told him that
| it was out of order to debate while presenting
i petitions, but lie was simply to accompany
them with a brief notice of their contents, i
i “Then,” said Mr. Adams, “1 will be under the
1 necessity of reading separately;” and here he
| :?ave a glance at the ominous piles before him
i as if suralhut the alternative would make the
! chair yield to him. The speaker merely said
| that he was not to direct the course of any
member, that he might read them or riot.
“Well, sir,” said Mr. Adams, “the chair puts
me in this predicament, and so I must pro
ceed to read them;” and so he did, amid the
deep groans of all around, at the tedious pros
pect before them—and with a cordon of frown
ing "Southern members, narrowly watching ev
ery movement of his palsied hand%as if sus
picious that some of the abolition papers
( might escape their motion to lie on the table
i with which they were ready to pounce down
j upon them.
The first petition was from a town in Mass,
praying that the aborigines might be consider
ed as descended from the ten tribes of Israel!
As soon as the laughter at this prayer had sub
sided, Mr. Adams gravely asked if the peti
tion came under the resolution of the 31st
Deceiul*“rV>at 1
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
&.C., on the table. Mr. Polk could scarcely j
refrain from joining in with the renewed
j laughter, annoyed as he looked a moment be
j fore. He replied it did not Mr. Adams mov
-led to refer it to the committee on Indian af
fairs. Next came a memorial begging Con
gress to consider the danger threatening the
American armies from their proximity to the
ludians. (Another roar.) Mr. Adams moved
to refer this to the committee on military af
fairs. (More laughter.) After two more, pray
ing for liberty of speech, and for the relief of
Mrs. Lovejoy, were laid on the table, came a
t petition begging that Congress might: build a
will!
Here every one looked at his'ncighborjis if
to be enlightened as to what the last petition
meant. Mr. Adams looked grave and myste
rious, the Speaker appeared mystified, till a
member asked the Chair what the petition pray
ed Congress for. ‘‘To build a wall,” said Mr.
Polk with solemnity, whereupon the House
went off into another cacchinatory fit, in spite
of the sharp rays from the nettled Speaker, i
Mr. Adams having been told this petition did f
not come under the December resolution, mov- j
ed to refer it to a select Committeee. Then j
followed in succession some of the following j
description, which I give merely to show how j
this good man’s conscientiousness is imposed
upon; to make colored persons competent wit
nesses in cases where kidnapping is charged
against whites; to cede the District of Colum
bia, and buy another.
These were laid on the table, though they
only had a squinting towards abolition. Mr. j
Adams then presented 150 petitions from 20,-
000 persons praying for the resolution of De- j
cemer to be rescinded. He said he had no |
i doubt the House would not grant the prayer of j
these petitions, but he would say in relerence *
to their refusal, as some office-seeker replied
I once to Cardinal Fleury when the latter said,
i “you will have nothing as long as I live!”
I “Monseigneur!” answered the applicant, “moi
j’attendrai!” “and,” added Mr. Adams, “so do I
say, / will wait .”
Here ended the only entertaining part of j
; the day’s work. It must be confessed, howev
: er, that Mr. Adams, through his obstinacy, of
ten places himself in an attitude unworthy of,
! himself, and troublesome to the House. Tiie
j rest of the sitting, to the close, was umntcr- i
! esting. j
[Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.]
VVashixgtox, Feb. 14, 1808.
Mr. Benton, this'morning, brought before j
I the Senate a resolution calling for a copy of j
; Col. J, Taylor’s official report of his battle ,
with the Sciniuoles. M-. B.’s object was as ;
he stated, to vindicate the Missouri volunteers ;
from the charge of misconduct made against <
them by Col. Taylor—a charge that the brave j
troops of that state never deserved. He went |
into a detail of the circumstances of the ac- ■
tion, and insisted that Col. Taylor bad placed j
the volunteers in his van, to cover the regulars ;
and that one sixth of the volunteers including |
their commander, were killed by the first fire j
lof the enemy, while only one regular soldier
was killed in the whole action. Mr. Critten- ■
! den warmly eulogized the character of Col
' Taylor, as an officer and a great man, and ex- |
! pressed his conviction that Col. Taylor had i
! stated nothing that was unfair or incorrect.!
| The resolution was agreed to.
i The resolutions against tiie sub-treasury!
bill, have finally passed the lower House of
the Pennsylvania Legislature, in the form of j
instructions. The Senate being whig, w ill, it
is said, resign in preference to yielding oDedi-;
once to the instructions.
| The nominal secretary of the navy is about |
to go to the south for his health. Mr. Poin-!
! sett, in the meantime, is to discharge all the j
duties of the office. I have, to-day, heard Mr. j
| Cambreleng mentioned as Mr. Dickerson’s j
: successor; but I presume that he will be re- j
! tained in his present situation until the fate of:
j the sub-treasury bill is decided. |
j THE BOWERY THEATRE BURNT.
The third theatre erected upon the same
i site in the Bowery, New York City, has been !
I destroyed- It seems as if there was a fiery j
i fate connected with it. All of them have been !
large and splendid theatres, though rather a- j
1 dapted to the exhibition of spectacles than of;
1 the legitimate drama.
The first theatre was burnt about seven
years since. The second was erected, com- j
I pleted and opened to the public in the aston- :
ishly short space of seventy days from the i
i conflagration of the first. It was destroyed
by fire about two years since. The rapidity ;
! and energy with which that just destroyed was
built, was hardly lessVemarkablc—being open-,
‘ed to the public in somewhat less than one 1
! hundred days from the second fire. Whether
the state of the times will encourage corres
ponding enterprise on the present occasion,
remains to be seen. On would think that even
should not the Bowery be restored, with the
twelve theatres, great and small, which rc
i main, New York would be amply supplied.
Destructive Fire—Bowery Tiiea-|
tre Burned. Or Sunday morning, a-j
bout 2 o’clock, a fire broke out in tho!
Bowery Theatre, which entirely consum
ed the whole interior of the builtlinu, to
gether with the machinery, dresses, &,e. j
] leaving nothing but part of the walls
standing. The building adjoining, known
as the old Bull’s Head Tavern, was also
1 burned. We understand the Theatre
! was insured for 80,000 dollars. The loss
is said to be about 70,000 dollars. 'The
fire broke out in the paint rootwover the
! gallery, in front. A stable belonging to
Mr. Hamblin, was Burned at the same
time, corner of Christie and Walker rts.,
and a colored man was burned to death.

.The birth day of the Father of his Country
was worthily celebrated at this place. Near
ly one hundred of our neighbors assembled at
the Oglethorpe House, presenting a galaxy of
brilliancy and beauty, the like of which is
seldom witnessed. Did the customs of our

Court Journal, or the more fashionable .Morn

what glowing scenes and characters could we
not paint. But were such license permitted,
ah! who could tell what hearts were won or

Mirth and gayety, good will and good wine,
all conspired to enhance the enjoyment of the
glorious anniversary.
To ocr Correspondent. We have re
ceived a communication from a most respect

Rarely if ever baa democracy had a greater
triumph than in Mr. Webster’s speech against
the independent treasury—-not in the weak
ness of his arguments alone, or in bis almost
confessed inability to contend with Mr.
Wright’s advocacy of that measure—but in
his democratic eulogiums. Madison,liowndes,
Crawford, praised by Webster!—Mr. Webster,
who, while they lived, opposed and abused all
they said or did, which he now extols!—Mr.
Webster, who denounced them then, just as he
now does Mr. Van Buren, and for the same rea
son. This adds another to the long list of instan
ces in which tardy justice has been done by the
opponents of democracy to democratic men
and democratic measures, and in future time
the same acknowledgments will be paid m
reference to Jackson and Van Buren by those
who are now loudest ill denouncing them.

Extract of a letter from an officer of the
United States Army, at Fort Brooke,
Florida, under date of Jan. 13, IS3S :
“I have just returned from a tour of
duty oil the Suwanee and Withlacoochee,
and have just heard of the fatal affair on
the 25th of Dec. at Okecchubbee Lake.
“Col. Thompson was wounded in three
places before he fell, either of which
would have proved fatal. The first ball
passed through the abdomen to the left;
the second, in the right breast; and the
last, through the chin and neck; evident
ly shot from a tree. He fell in a sitting
posture, and died instantly.
“Van Swearingen was shot in advance
of his company, in the lower part of his
neck, retired to the rear, raised both hands
above his head, and fell flat on his face,
gave one groan, and was in more.
“Brooke was shot through the heart,
and died with a smile on his face.
“Center was shot through the head,
from a tree, and died instantly.
“Col. Gentry, of Missouri, was shot
through the body; the same ball passed
through him and through his son's arm,
and then'into a tree. It was a musket
ball.
“All these officers showed the greatest
gallantry in the fight. Andrews was se
verely wounded, and Walker, of the (ith,
was literally shot to pieces ; four halls
passed through him, and several others
grazed him. He is fast recovering, how
ever, and is as manly under his severe
wounds as he was brave in receiving them.
He is a promising officer.
“I have thus been particular in naming
all these facts, as I know they will be in
teresting to you. It seems hard that so
many brave spirits should fall in such an
inglorious warfare.

SONG—©H! GIVE ME MUSIC.
Oh! give me music!— its sweet tones
Will linger round my weary heart;
The only love my soul now owns
Is wakened by the minstrel’s art.- ,
Oh! give me music ! —though the tear*
Are coursing down my burning cheek,
The voices loved in early years
In the low tones of music speak.
Oh! give me music!—let the song
Be plaintive as the ring-dove's moans
For gloomy thoughts around me throng,
Which must be borne, yet borne alone.
Oil! give me music! l —lt will bring
Back all the past I may not tell—
And o’er my broken spirit fling
Its holy and mysterious spell.
Oh! give me music!—in my breast
Those sweet and thrilling tone* of thin*
Will make a hope of brighter re#t
And banish all these fears of mine!

CANT.
O! sacred Cant! how canting men declaim, *
As if thou tvert but emptiness and sham* !
In thee the image of all truth we trace,
As in a mask the copy of a face ;
And earth is fixed thy proper home to be,
For Heaven’s too good, and Hell too bad for
thee.
The heart tlmt Cauts not, for all hope unfit,
Rejects the name of aught more pure than it;
And he who dreads his own life-witheringscoff
Must realize his cant, not cast itofT. .

Not one goes slower or faster.

And you become their master.
