tober last.
THE RICH AND THE POOR.
In another column will be found an excel
lent editorial article, which we have extracted ;
from the Milledgeville Recorder. In that pa-1
per are detailed facts exhibiting the extreme 1
suffering of the poorer classes in New York
City. There, hard working, indigent females !
are compelled to toil a whole day for the pit- J
tance of twelve cents ; and upon some kinds
of needle work, even for eight cents. In ad
dition to these particulars, we have noticed in
many of the New York papers, that the appli
cations at the almshouse for relief from the
utterly destitute and starving, amounted to no
less than five hundred per day!! during the
severe weather Northern winter. These
facts exhibit an amount of misery and slavery,
of .which nothing is known in the Southern
portion of the Union, and the consequences to
be deduced from these are not a little important
in a political point of view.
Who and what has produced this wholesale
misery? We do not hesitate to say the party
now in power. The Party who administer
our national concerns. First taking advantage
of the enthusiastic gratitude of a nation for
important public services, they raised the ar
bitary chieftain of a camp to the command of
our civil affairs —to a station which neither his
education, nor his temper fitted him. Thus
taking advantage of his prejudices and under
the shelter of his name and popularity they
shouted “t ie Poor AGAINST the Rich,”
and “The Democracy of Numbers.” These
Party watchwords took with an honest people,
. who could not see through the disguises of
their masked leaders. It is to be acknowledg
ed and deplored that the Loco Focos gained
the day. And what is the consequence ?
Why—that five hundred desolate and oppress
ed, apply each day at the gates of the New
York Almshousethat thousands starve in
the street, and tens of thousands labor and pine
and die in hovels and/ obscure garrets —that
. the wealthy, and those in the yet more enviable
condition of industrious and independent com
petence, have been reduced to poverty —that
the Employers have been destroyed leaving
none to care for the Employed. Theirs was
indeed a radical reform. They laid the axe
at the root of the tree, and how could they ex
peet the branches to flourish.
To trace the progress of their selfishly suc
cessful, yet mad and foolish career, would fill
volumes. By their fruits we know them, and
their acts are before the country and the world.
Even now it is certain that the people have a
waked from their delusion and that,in their ad
versity they see clearly the causes that have
led to it. The party struggle at Washington,
is, on the part of the Administration, desperate
and if the vulgar proverb may be trusted, the
White House is already falling.
What is to be done on this breaking up of
the great deeps—now becomes a practical
question of the last importance to our country.
Let it be well considered and decided with the
deliberation which its momentous consequence j
demands.' That this man or that man should ;
be President—that this or that political con- j
nexion should prevail, is of small account. But j
that liberal and enlightened and conscientious '
statesmen should control the helm of our Gov- \
ernment, is yours, is ours, is every man’s bnsi-'
ness.
That this good end is likely to be effected !
we do most sincerely rejoice to observe. The |
Opposition to the present Administration is
any thing but a party. Thus far they have
not learnt the first principle of party —Cohe-
sion. They do not hold together. Devoted |
to principle, there may be observed in their J
ranks all the diversities which an honest dis- !
ference of opinion to be expeciflfl among men
not ncting in party concert and undisciplined ;
by a party drill. But now that they must really (
feel their strength—now that the sure pros- j
pectof success opens before them, they must,.
they will unite in concerting the common ob- j
ject of securing, bv a good Government of their j
own appointment, the prosperity of their coun
try'.
Gen. Scott. A report has for the last
week prevailed of the accidental death of this
gallant officer, near the Canadian frontier. As
it has piet with no confirmation by the two last
express mails at Augusta, it may be prononn
cod without foundation.
THE SOUTHERN CONVENTION.
We this day finish the publication of our
extracts from the Address of the Southern
Convention. By it the public may perceive
how much alive this section of the Union is to
its own interests. With adequate harbors—
with the best materials for ship building, a
longer neglect of our own commerce would be j
a reproach not to be borne. While tiie plant
ing of cotton was confined to the Southern At- j
1 antic States, the attention naturally engross
ed in the production of that important and prof-j
itable staple, of course, prevented the propor-1
tional attention to commerce. So, in the east- j
ern States, now so eminently commercial, j
their first attention must have been directed to
production and subsistence though the poverty
of their soil, at a very early date, necessarily
drove them to Commerce, which they have
since so successfully pursued.
The time has now come for the South. In
stead of possessing a mere strip of inhabited
country along the sea-board, which w*as the
case but very few’vears since, she has now an
extensive producing back country, within her
own limits. The effect of this has already
been, that with silent and sure strides, the
commerce of the South has, of late years, been
advancing with a rapidity unrivalled anywhere,
except perhaps in the Great West With that
very West she is soon to be connected by
1 several lines of Internal Improvements. They
: will prove bonds of iron to unite her to them,
j In view of these considerations, and of the
fact, which any one by inspecting his map
j may see, that the ports of the South are nearer
by three hundred miles, tp the heart of the
West than any Northern ports, the future com
mercial importance of the South is as plain as
the sun at noon day.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Latest dates March 10th. The Sub-Treasu
ry Bill is still the most important topic before
Congress. A great many stupid speeches
from the friends of the Administration on this
question have been rend in the Senate, and
there has moreover been a most interesting de
bute between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Clay. We
regret that we have no room to make extracts
this week. Mr Calhoun takes the ground that he
! is the only pure Republican in the country—
the only one who has preserved the principles
of 1708, and that the explanation of his- act
ing now with the whole Administration party,
and of late with the whole Opposition, is to be
found in the fact that the whole of both these
parties have changed fronts while he alone
has kept his position!! The fate of this im
portant bill is still in suspense.
In the House, petitions against Duelling
have been presented in great numbers. It is
proposed to establish a Home Squadron and
Naval School in the Navy. The Appropria
tion Bills for the Civil and Diplomatic list
have come up. The Neutrality bill has not
yet been agreed upon between the Houses.
The Northeastern Boundary question is still
before the House, and is not yet disposed of.
the proposition now under debate being, that
our Government shall immediately run and
mark the disputed boundary.
IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE.
We extract the following synopsis of the
most important news from Europe, from the
New York papers. It is gratifying to hear of
the appointment of Lord Durham to the Gov
ernor Generalship of the British Provinces—a
nobleman of distinguished ability and of the
most moderate, liberal and conciliating poli
tics. This appointment gives the assurance
of a speedy settlement of the disturbances in
Canada.
Money it seems in London is so plenty that
people don’t know what to do with it If we
do not act upon the doctrines of the Adminis
tration that foreign capital is to be avoided,
our Railroads and Canals may now go on in
the most rapid construction.
The Cotton market is rising at Liverpool,
and the natural effect of an improvement in
our own markets must soon be perceived.
New-York, Marc I*lo.
We yesterday announced, as below, the
packet ship Independence, from Liverpool.—
About six o’clock we received our files—Lon
don to the 23d and Liverpool to the 24ih, in
clusive.
Subsequently, the Oxford was announcMßP
below, and at a very early hour this morui|%
we received our files, brought by this vessel—
London to the 31st Jan. and Liverpool to the
Ist Feb. both inclusive, with commercial and
marine intelligence to the latest date.
The parliamentary proceedings on Canadian
affairs are of high interest. The Earl of Dur
ham has been appointed Governor General of
all the British Provinces in North America,
and was to sail for Quebec in season for the i
opening of the St. Lawrence. It affords us
great pleasure to state that the Earl will come i
out clothed with full powers to grant a general |
amnesty.
So intense is the anxiety caused by the af- i
fairs of Canada, that steamboats are stationed
off Holy Head to receive the letter bags from
the packet ships. The London press have
their agents stationed at every part to receive
and forward the latest accounts from North A
merica. The London Times has sent out a
special correspondent; this gentleman arrived
in the Oxford.
Our London correspondent writes as follows:
“It is currently reported in the clubs, this
evening, that the reason of the adjournment of
the House of Commons to Friday, Feb. 2d, is
a split in the ministry ; and that the Duke of
Wellington has been applied to on the sub
ject,”
The last Journal of Commerce of Antwerp
received in London, reports a tremendous fire

London, January 30.
The abundance of money is producing the
greatest inconveniences to all who live upon
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
their capital, or upon the lending out of money j
which is deposited with them by others. That 1
which is usually distinguished by the term of (
the “moneyed interest,” has become in fact, |
for a time, the distressed interest of the city, j
Contrasted with what was passing less than j
twelve months ago, the change in the state of
money is a very remarkable one. The 5 per
cent, was currently obtained on all bills, and
on those for short dates, and not the very best
of credit, a much higher rate of interest was
paid, amounting to 10 or 12 per cent or more.
The bankers and capitalists made an excellent
harvest on that occasion, and can afford a lit
tle reverse, if that were the only matter to be
considered. The evil is, what has been point
ed out, to our commerce, and industry; which
are reduced Instead of a steady pursuit, to a
state of gambling or mere chance, by the vi
cissitudes in the currency. The period which
is about to come on must be one of violent
excitement.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. American.]
London, Jan. 30,1838.
Since my last respects, there has been a con
siderable degree of animation, in the market
for American securities, and a great deal of
money has been invested in them. Indiana
stock, which was held by Messrs. Morrison &
Cos. in considerable amount has been all taken
off, and the price now asked is 89, in the full
confidence that it will be obtaineif by the
holders. The report of the profits of the
Bank of the United States has also materially
influenced the price of their stock, which is in
great demand, at £25 sto £25 10,at which lat
ter price they have been done this afternoon.
The state of money in this country will, in all
probability still further advance the prices,
for, looking to the reduction of the French
five per cents, and the possible reduction of
| our 3 1-2 reduced, a large capital will be seek
j ing employment.
j Discount is now 2 3-4 to 3 1-2 per cent., ac
j cording to the character and length of the pa

country, which will tend to draw money from
the Bank of England, who are discounting
pretty freely at their branches in Liverpool
and Manchester.

Lord Brougham made a tremendous speech
on the slave trade, in the House of Lords, on
the 29th of January. His lordship admitted
that the emancipation act was a failure.
: MR. CLAY AND GEN. JACKSON.
The following is an extract from the Ken
| tucky Senator’s speech on the Sub Treasury
! Bill: •
“lie was a most extraordinary man. My own
| acquaintance with him commenced in this city
I (said Mr Clay,) in the year 1815. That ac
j quaintancc was short, but cordial: on his part
II thought, on iny own part lam sure, it was
1 sincere. He had achieved one of the noblest
victories recorded on the pages of history, and
I was disposed to pay to his genius the hom
age it seemed justly to deserve. He left this
city—the Seminole war ensued—and it be
came my duty in the other wing of this Capi
tol to denounce some of his lawless and rash
| measures in that celebrated campaign. This
i led to a non-intcrcourse between us for sever
!al years. But it was renewed again in the
j year 1824, when he again came to this city.—
| In order to effect that renewal, I was invited/
j to dine with him by the major part of the dele
j gation from Tennessee, (and my venerable
friend [White] will remember the occasion re-
I ferred to.) I accepted it. We were placed
| near each other—we dined and drank cordial-
I ly and freely; he, (Mr Clay) retired early—
and was followed to the door by the late Pres
ident of the United States, and the present
Minister at the Court of Spain, who offered to
set me down at my lodgings. My faithful
j Charles was waiting for me at the door with
|my own carriage. However, I would not re
sist the importunity so courteously expressed,
and I accepted the invitation; and we met of
ten afterwards; our intercourse was polite and
friendly, until it became my duty to vote a
gainst him in 1825, as candidate for the Presi
dency, in the House of Representatives. Then
the non-intercourse was again resumed—the
\ dogs of war were let loose upon me. I shall
| not give the details of all this, now. They are
jof a personal character: but thank God ! 1
stand here unbroken and unhurt, and as ready
1 now as then to denounce his measures, —and
1 this, particularly—the most pernicious of them
all.
His administration was an astounding one,
j and so were his measures. Before one peal
j had died away upon the ear, others more tre
! mendous ensued. No, sir, 1 ask pardon for
j this comparison; I should have compared the
; course of that administration to a volcano—
' from which eruptions of burning lava succeed
| eacli other, before the cities over which the
' liquid fire had rolled, were buried beneath it;
still spreading in a wider and wider circle of
death and destruction.
LATEST FROM FLORIDA.
By the steamboat Florida, arrived from Black
Creek on Sunday, the latest intelligence from
Gen. Jesup’s bead quarters, near Jupiter Inlet,
is 1o the Ist inst., from which it appears that
there were encamped about a half a mile from
the General’s position, upwards of 200 In
dians, men, women and children, under the
chief Tus-ke-gee, awaiting some decision in
reference to them, consequent on propositions
which they made early in February. About
140 Indian negroes, who came in with Tus-ke
gee’s party, left Fort Jupiter, under an escort
on the Ist March, for Tampa Bay, for embark
ation to the west, and who, it is said, belong
mostly to Indians who have already emigrated.
It is further said that about 30 or 40 negroes
arc still out, so that nearly ali the blacks have
left the field, by capture or surrender. Sam
Jones is understood to be 150 miles south of
Fort Jupiter, 20 miles up Shark River, north
of Cape Sable.
To the politeness of a gentleman, who ar
rived in the Florida, we are indebted for a St.
Augustine Herald of the 2d inst. from which
we make the following extracts:—[Georgian.
The report of the capture of 400 Indians,
which wo published last week, turns out to be
incorrect. It came to us in such a shape that
left us but little room to doubt its correctness.
But recent arrivals from the Army inform us
that Gen. Jesup had not left his position on
Jupiter River, since Lieutenant Linnard left.
A large Indian trait haa recently been dis
covered at Palaska.
A heavt Capital. The amount of spe
cie in the Middlesex Bank, as returned by its
officers,is one dollar and ninety-seven cents!
Unavailable Funds. A letter from the I
Secretary of the Treasury, to the Speaker of;
the House of Representatives, dated the 27th, j
gives the following statement on this subject. '
The amount of balances against all banks, j
which have been used as public depositories, j
which is not secured and will probably v be'
lost, is about $1,000,000 and the loss by tak
ing depreciated Bank notes $5,580,000 —ag-
gregate $0,580,000. This is without the ad
dition of any interest, as are the subsequent
statements. If interest were cast on the
above sums, the aggregate would exceed
$13,000,000. The nominal IralanCes against
these banks are now, excluding what stands
1o the credit of disbursing officers, about $7,-
000,000—of this sum $1.07(1,000 stand against
old bank depositories, and the residue against
recent ones. The loss by depreciated notes,
in 1814,’15,’1d and ’l7, is estimated at $5,-1
500,000: and there is now on hand of such i
notes, then received, and never paid away or
collected, about SBO,OOO more. Aggregate
$12,580,000. It is deemed proper, until fur
ther experience, to make no estimate of any
recent failures of public depositories; and the
data are too few and imperfect to add any
thing for any damage recently sustained by
depreciated bank notes. The loss by failure
of old Bank depositories being computed at
$1,000,000, the whole sum to be deducted
from the above aggregate is 5G,000,000, leav
ing $0,580,000 as the aggregate of losses
without interest, sustained from the two sour
ces above named.
The amount of balances against all kinds
of collecting officers, not secured and likely
to be lost, is from $1)00,000 to $1,200,000.
The nominal amount of these balances is
about 82,500,000, of which from $1,000,000
to $1,150,000 have been ascertained to be
probably secured or paid. A further sum of
$300,000 has never been put in suit, from a
knowledge it is believed, that nothing would
appear to be due, when vouchors were all of
fered, and all legal and just allowances made.
In several cases, where the debtors are re
ported as insolvent, and the claims as entirely
lost (in the late voluminous report about pub
lic defaulters, of which the present letter
seems to be explanatory) the claims are larger
in amount than was probably the real damage
to the U. S., r,s the parties must sometimes
have had equitable set-offs not allowed, infor
mal vouchers rejected, or good ones lost, and
other defences, which death, accident or pov
erty prevented them from offering. For these
last reasons, a further deduction should bo
made of from $100,01)0, to $150,C00. The
whole real loss likely to happen from this class
of officers, i3 therefore supposed not to ex
ceed from 900,000 to $1,200,000.
The amount of loss by failure to pay duty
bonds will probably range between $G,500,000
and $0,800,000. The actual returns of bonds
unpaid and in suit, lo the date of the letter,
exceed $7,500,000. —[Charleston Courier.
Mr. Booth. We regret that it becomes
necessary for us to state, that instead of having
the gratification of witnessing the performances
of this gentleman on the stage last evening, lie
was an actor in a most extraordinary scene the
previous evening, which came very near result
ing in the death of his friend and companion,
Mr. Flynn. We "ill state the circumstances
as they have been related to us from good au
thority, and we do so with the special purpose
of preventing the many exaggerated statements
frequently put forth on such occasion, from ob
taining credence.
It appears that Mr. Booth had exhibited no
signs of a return of his malady, since his rescue
from drowning, to excite the watchfulness of
his friends. He was in company with Mr.
Flynn, on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and
on Monday evening attended the Theatre,
conversing, as usual, with such acquaintances
as he encountered. After leaving the Theatre,
they returned to their lodgings, at the Planters’
Hotel, both gentlemen occupying the same
room. Mr. Flynn undressed himself and retir
ed to bed, and soon fell asleep, but was arous
ed between one and two o’clock, A. M., by re
ceiving a tremendous blow over the right eye.
He sprang up in bed, and discovered Mr. Booth
in the act of aiming another blow at him with
one of the cast iron fire dogs, taken from the
fire place, along side the hod, and with which
the first wound had been inflicted. Mr. F. en
deavored to avoid the blow, but received it
over the left eye, with such force as broke the
fire dog, when he leaped from the bed, and es
caped from the room, Mr. Booth in close pur
suit, and endeavoring to inflict other wounds.
They finally grappled, and fell, the herculean !
strength'of Mr. Booth, while laboring under
the excitement of derangement, giving him J
the advantage. The calls of Mr. Flynn final
ly brought assistance, and Mr. Booth was se- 1
cured, but not until Mr. Flynn had received a
number of severe wounds and bruises, none of
which, we are happy to say, are of a danger
ous character. Mr. Booth is now placed under
restraint, and will doubtless be so kept until
he recovers from iiis aberration of mind.—

A Scene in the Ohio Legislature.
A laughable scene was witnessed in the
House of Representatives, of this Slate, last
Saturday. The House proceeded to elect an
Associate Judge for the Court of Common
Pleas of Jackson county; and the member
frem that county, contrary to his wish and |
much to his surprise, received a majority of j
the votes for that office. He was enraged at
the fancied insult, and while the votes were
being counted his eyes flashed fire, and he
looked unutterable things.
When the Teller had counted forty-one
votes for him, he boiled over with rage, and
addressed the Speaker with great vehemence
as follows: “Sir, there are forty-one scoundrels
in this House !” The Tellers proceeded, and
counted eleven more for huh. He rose again
and said: “I said, sir, that there were forty-one
scoundrels in this House. I have since ascer
tained that there are eleven more.” So indig
nant was ho that he resigned his seat

It is stated in a London paper, that during
the fire at the Royal Exchange, at 12 o’clock,
when the flames had just reached the North
west angle of the building, and were rapidly
making their way to the tower, the chimes
struck up, as usual at that-hour, the old tune,
“There’s nae luck about the house,” and con
tinued for five minutes. The effect was ex
traordinary, and the tune was distinctly heard;
! alas, it was the last time! The silver toned
bells, whose joyful notes, in playing at inter
i vals of every three hours, “God save the
; Queen,” “Life let us cherish,” “There’s nae
I luck about the House,” and oil Sundays the
1 old 104th Psalm, have so often gladdened the
j hearts of the citizens, and amused the fre
• queuters of ’Change, are siient forever, melted
by the intense heat or broken to pieces.
The only chimes now existing in London
: are those of St. Clement Danes, in the strand,
on which the old 104th Psalm is played every
four hours, and the musical chimes of St.
Giles, Cripplegate, and St. Dives Backclmrch;

bells, in the steeple of Spitalfields Church
with similar chimes to those of the Royal Ex

years ago, and have not vet been restored.

quested her to go into a cane-brake and get
him the handsomest reed. Shu must get it at
once going through, without turning. She
went, and coming out, brought him quite a
mean reed. When he asked her if that was
the handsomest she saw, ‘Oh no!’ she replied,
‘I saw many finer as I went along, but f»~ieat
on, in hopes of one much better, until I nearly
got through; arid then I wee obliged to take
up with any one I could get; and a crooked
one at last.’ ”
YOUTH AH© AOS. I t*~ft
When we are young, our duye u» like
The fountain wivee that Bow in Jnnc,
That sparkle in the golden Ml,
Or gleam beneath the silver moon.
When we are old, our momenta glide
Like Winter water* cold and drear,
That freeze before December’* voice
Has gighed the death-note of the year.
'
When we are young the cloud* around
Our path have Uue9 of glory on,
Like those which sleep oa Summer shlee
Before the crimscn flush is gone.
When we are old, no ray concetkd
Within the folded vapor lie*,
But gloomy shadows overspread
The circle of Life’* eveningskies
Oh then, »itice with the hour* that fad*
Our being'* light is fading too,
How shall we find a hope to cheer
When we te youth must bid adieu!
In heaven and not on earth there glow*
A sun whose pure and perfect ray
Will warm the freezing waves of life
And change its twilight into day. P. B.
