THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, (Ga.U~MARCH 23, 1839.
Reduction Con vention, The day of
election for members to this important Con
vention will be Monday the Ist of April next.
Each County is entitled to send a delegation
ih number equal to their representation in
both branches of the General Assembly, ac
cording to the last census.
The principal object of this Convention is,
(as the name purports) to bring about a reduc
tion of the present number of Senators and •
Representatives in the Legislature. We have
in the State 1)2 Counties, all of which nre enti
tled to one Senator, and by population they j
can send to the House, according to the new
apportionment, 207 members. A desire seems !
to be prevalent to reduce these numbers, and
the bill calling the Convention authorises the i
forming of 40 Senatorial Districts, two con-;
tiguous Counties composing one district, who
in all shall choose 4G Senators, thus reducing
the Senate to one half its present number.
In the formation of the House each County i
shall at least be entitled to one Representa-1
tive; and the hope is that an arrangement can
be made, whereby the whole number will not!
exceed 140 members.
We refer our readers for further particulars ] [
to the aot calling the Convention, which w ill
be found in another part of this paper, and also
to a notice of a meeting to take place this day I
at the Court House, to nominate members to
represent this County. Many Counties have
already made their nominations, and we ob
serve among the names many of our most tal
ented and influential men.
Darien. —We are happy to learn from the
“ Herald,” that our neighboring city is rapidly
increasing “not only in a commercial point of
view, but in every respect that could be de
sired.” Up to the Ist inst. 58,825 bales of
cotton have been exported to different ports.
We made a flying visit to Darien a day ot
two since, and must say we were somewhat
disappointed at seeing every thing so quiet
and inactive there at this season of the year
—the cause, we were informed, was i/i con
sequence of the low state of the river, which
has prevented the arrival of large quantities of
cotton intended for that market Notwith
standing this stagnation of business, we scarce
ly observed a store or house in the city unoc
cupied which is good evidence that there is
no falling off in hsr inhabitants. The lumber
trade of Darien is rapidly increasing, and will
ere long of itself be an important business,
and serve to keep np the prosperity of the
place. A general complaint among the mer
chants, we observed, was a tightness of the
chest —(the iron chest we mean) which we are
sorry to hear is quite prevalent in all our com
mercial towns. Perhaps we more particular
ly noticed this, our business being of a nature
to touch them on tins tender point. We are
•happy to say, however, that most of our pat
rons whom we had the pleasure to meet,
made it quite unnecessary for us to “call
again” upon them at present, having with their
usual promptness honored our bills at sight.
Since the adjournment of Congress, the
■whole of the Departments of the Government
seem to have been thrown into consternation
and dismay. Duncan, Kendall, and Carnbre
ling have determined that the party shall be
true to itself. The removal of several from of
fice, will be the consequence of this flare up.
The Washington City Postmaster, Dr. Jones,
a truly worthy man, has been already ousted,
and several, in the Departments connected
with the Treasury, r.re among the doomed. —
Cambreling and other ejected members, are
still hovering over the city—perhaps awaiting
the fulfillment of some glorious promise.
Commerce of the South. — The follow
ing article from the “Caddo Free Press,” a pa
pe'r recently established at Shrccvoport, La.
if we mistake not, is from the pen of J. W.
Frost, Esq. formerly editor of the Advocate,
who is now residing at that place. Shreeve
port is anew town on the Red River, which
has lately sprung into existence by the remo
val of the Great Raft, which has heretofore
obstructed the navigation of that river, and
bids fair to become a place of much import
ance. We received a letter from there not
long since stating that already there were five
hundred inhabitants in the place, that build
ings were going up rapidly, and it was expect
ed that in five years Shreeveport would con
tain five thousand inhabitants. Lots were
selling at from one to five thousand dollars—
board” fifty dollars per month—lumber forty
dollars per thousand—negroes forty dollars
per month, and every thing else in the same
ratio. When it is taken into consideration
that the spot on which this new town stands,
was but recently the hunting ground of the
savage, it shows a most rapid improvement,
and we should think presents strong induce
ments to the emigrant.
[From the Caddo Free Press ]
COMMERCE OF THE SOUTH.
Within a few years a spirit of enterprise
has arisen in the Southern States, that bids
fair to produce most important changes in the
commercial transactions of the country.—By
the listlessness of the South, the carrying trade
between the United States and Europe has
been monopolized by the merchants of the
North. But in the days of Nullification, when
the States were led to examine and devclope
their own resources, the people of the South
began to weigh the policy ofembarkmgm
commerce. The reduction of the Tariff—the
| abandonment of the Protecting System, and the
! consequent impulse given to “Free Trade,” j
have created a strong feeling in favor of di-j
rect communication between the cotton grow
ing States and the cotton consuming countries
ot Europe. It lias not, however, been left ex
clusively to private individual enterprise;
Carolina and Georgia have aroused their whole
population Conventions composed of their
most distinguished citizens, have published j
Reports and Addresses, containing the most
powerful appeals and the most cogent reason- 1
ing, and it may now be laid down as a matter ■
of fact, that those two States are pledged to I
carry through the Southern system in opposi
tion to the American System. Reprobating
the construction of works of public improve-'
ment by the Federal Government as unconsti-,
tutionai, the Southern States are now of them
selves, building rail roads and canals, which {
will cement the distant fractions more firmly :
than all parchment agreements. South Caro
lina has commenced the most gigantic under
taking in the world. The rail road from
Charleston to the Ohio, is a work worthy of
the high character of that State, and will add
much to her greatness and importance. The
State Rail Road of Georgia from the Tennes
see to tiie Atlantic, and from Brunswick to
Pensacola, both now in active progress, will j
bring to an Atlantic market much ot the pro- j
duce from Tennessee, and connect New Or- \
leans and New York by a continuous line of
steamboats and rail roads. Already, too, these!
States have chartered banks with immense j
capitals, and passed laws authorising private j
banking and limited partnerships. From the !
signs of the times it is evident that ere long
the Southern States will !>e their own carriers, 1
and instead of paying an annual tribute to,
New York, set up for themselves.
The Railroad from New Orleans to Nash
ville, and the various roads running through
| the young State of Mississippi, show that the
West is bringing its great energies to the
task. Mr. Walker, the Senator from Missis-j
sippi, we observe, has obtained the passage of
a bill through the Senate, granting the two
per cent fund, on $690,000, for making a rail i
road from Brandon to the Alabama line, which !
1 will of course be extended to the Georgia j
road, and an uninterrupted rail road and steam-,
, boat communication, extend from New York 1
to Natchez. j
With this commercial spirit too, has arisen j
; an increased anxiety for the more complete ,
defence of the Southern Coast. When the
importance of the commerce*of the Gulf is
i considered, it must he a matter of surprise to
every one, that so little has been done for its j
protection. Pensacola is the only Naval De
j pot south of Norfolk. The present difficulties
between France and Mexico, in all probabili
ty to be followed by a collision between other
European powers, imperatively require that
our own government take the necessary pre- j
cautions for protecting its neutrality and sus- [
taining the honor of our Flag.
Free Banking. —We learn from the Sawj
dersville Advocate that a meeting of the citi-j
zens of Washington County was held at that
place on the 7th inst. for the purpose of adopt
ing measures for establishing a Bank at San
dersville upon the principles of the Free Bunk- 1
ing Law of this State. Books of subscription !
were opened, and stock to the amount of fifty
' thousand dollars subscribed at once. A com
mittee was appointed to keep open and receive
subscriptions till the next meeting, which is to
take place on the Ist Tuesday ill April next.
Nomination of Governor. —We would
remind our political friends, says the Milledge
| vilie Recorder, that a candidate for the Exec
, utive chair is to be nominated at the meeting
I of the Reduction Convention in this place; and
I that it is hoped every County in this State
j will be fully represented in reference to this
| interesting matter. We trust that no ideas of
(false security will induce supineness among
! our friends ; we wifi take the occasion to sug
! gest to such, (if there be any,) that by vigi
lance, zeal and activity alone, can the State
Rights party maintain its ascendancy.— A
word to the wise, &c.
The present license law of Massachusetts
prohibits the sale of spirituous liquors in less
| quantity than fifteen gallons. The brig Oak
! recently arrived at Boston from Rochelle had
I four hundred and fifty fifteen gallon kegs of
' brandy—ordered especially for the Massachu
| setts market.
Dr. Wm. Jones, the Postmaster at Washing
; ton city, has been suddenly removed from of
j fice by the Postmaster General.
The Charleston Courier says —the sale of
200,000 dollars of the increased capital of the
ißank of Hamburg, was completed at that place
;in two hours, with much life and spirit. The
| stock sold at a premium of 6 to 7 dollars per
share, the average being 12 1-2 per cent pre
j mium for the new stock—the new stockholders
to coine in on the Ist July. This is the way
they do things in Hamburg.
(Ty 3 ” The Legislature of Alabama lias pass
!ed a law against the detestable practice of
carrying deadly weapons about the person. It
' provides that “ if any person shall carry con
cealed about his person any species of fire
arms, or any Bowie knife, Arkansaw tooth
| pick, or any other knife of the like kind, dirk,
j or any other deadly weapon, the person so of
! fending shall, on conviction thereof, before any
! court having competent jurisdiction, pay a
fine of not less than fifty, nor more than five
hundred dollars, to be assessed by the jury
| trying the case; and be imprisoned for a term
| not exceeding three months, at the discretion
| of the Judge of said Court.”
Gambling on a Large Scale. —The Mobile
Chronicle of the 12th, complains bitterly of
: the vast sums which the gamblers will carry
1 off from that place during the races. It says
‘Mobile lost all,’ in a nice for SIO,OOO a side.
,! And estimates the losses of that city in the
i! amusement at SIOO,OOO.
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Forsyth, and numerous |
| other individuals have been mentioned as re
‘ ceiving the appointment of Special Minister’
to England, in regard to the North Eastern
Boundary difficulties, suggested by an appro
priation for that purpose just before the ad-,
journment of Congress. As yet however, we j
do not learn that the President has designated
any one, and it is believed that no such ap
! pointment will be made for the present.
In the Maine House of Representatives, a
bill lias been introduced, for the erection of
1 the county of Aroostook, with Houlton for its
county town, which has passed to bq engrossed.
The Norfolk Beacon of the 11th inst. says: ■
“We learn from a gentleman from Washing- I
ton, that two companies of U. S. Dragoons,
stationed at Carlisle, (Penn.) have been order
ed by the President to proceed forthwith to
Maine.
Referring to the warlike attitude which the
people of Nova Scotia have assumed in conse
quence of the Boundary trouble, the New York
correspondent of the National Intelligencer
remarks:
Halifax would be the rendezvous for the ar-j
my and navy of the British world. Potatoes :
and herrings would be amazingly high. Cod
fish then would be eaten on other days than !
Saturdays. Nova Scotia would dance and
John Bull would foot the bill.
The Philadelphia Herald says, we learn that
the first division of Pennsylvania militia, un
der the command of Major General Patter
son, promptly volunteered their services to
the President, under the act recently passed
by Congress, to raise fifty thousand men.
Montis Multicaulis. —The rage now ex
isting in relation to the cultivation of the
Morus Multicaulis, says the Savannah Repub
can, is unprecedented. Our soil appears to j
be well calculated for its growth, if we were j
to judge from the quantity of Cuttings offered j
for sale. We have been informed that a Com
pany in this County, styling themselves the !
Chatham Silk Company, last week sold GOO,- j

thing) is an experiment among us. We trust
it will succeed. Abits verrou.

says the Albany Daily Advertiser, that a train
Los wagons, carrying twenty-four field-pieces,
phavc left the Watervliet Arsenal, for Maine,
j under the charge of Lieut G. H. Tallcott, in
[ pursuance of orders from Washington.
The Fench ship Alexandre. —The predic
tion of Dr. Gourand, French Consul of New
j port, R. I. that piracy and murder had been
committed on board the Alexandre, has, it
seems, been verified beyond all question, by
the confession of the boy Bailly, before the
Government officer at Brest.

THE PROSPECT OF WAR.
We do not seo any reason to apprehend
| war with Great Britain, even on perusing
! the heroic demonstrations of the Nova Sco
tia legislators, or New Brunswick soldiers,
with their "bodies of adamant and souls of
[fire!!!”
The following from the Southern Patri
' ot of Thursday, expresses our views to the
letter:—
Notwithstanding the alarming caption
given to the article which we to-day copy
from the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette, en
titled "Important and Warlike from Nova
Scotia,” we see nothing in the movements
of the Legislature of Nova Scotia to cre
i ate apprehension of hostilities. Fortii
! nately the question of war or peace is not
left to the decision of » British Provincial
Assembly, nor to tiie Legislature of one
of tlie States of the Union; but to those,
having the general interests of both coun
tries in charge, who will view that ques
; tion dispassionately and not under the in
i fluence of those local excitements and
j sympathies that conflict with the resolves
of sound judgement and prudence.
On Dit. —That Mr. Swartwout, our
late collector, invested nearly or quite all

of those lands to a company of capitalists

sand (G,300,000) dollars.—[N. Y. Sun
day Morning News.
j Mathematical.—The Georgian says
the buildings erected in Savannah, during
the last five years, “are innumerable.”
Querv. llovv large a number can the

Anew Feature.—The writer of a let
ter from Bangor, in the Portland Adver
tiser, has stated anew idea in relation to
the boundary troubles; one that upsets all
the claims and proceedings of Sir John
Harvey at a blow; and puts an entirely
new face on the whole matter. It is, that
if the boundary claimed by the British gov
ernment is the true boundary between the
United States and the possessions of Great
Britain, the disputed territory belongs, not
to Nor Brunswick but to T.otccr Canada!
Startled by this new averment, we have
given sucli consideration to the subject
as time and present means permitted; and
the result of our study is a strong impres
sion that the writer of the letter is correct.
We will state our reasons briefly.
In 17G3, when Great Britain acquired
Canada by treaty with France, the King
of Great Britain George II I, thought prop
er to issue his proclamation dated October
7th, creating the province of Quebec and
defining its Southern boundary as follows:
“South of the St. Lawrence by a line
crossing that river and the Lake Chain
plain in forty-five degrees of North lati
tude, and passing along the highlands
which divide the rivers that empty them
selves into the said river St. Lawrence
from those which fall into the sea.”
In 1*74 the same line was declared to
be the Southern boundary of the prov
ince of Quebec, by an act of parliament,
containing the words following, to wit:
“Bounded on the South by a line from
the Bay of Chaleurs, along the highlands
which divide the rivers that empty them
selves into the river of St. Lawrence from
those which fall into the sea, to a point in
45 degrees of North latitude.”
The same language is used in all the
commissions of the several governors of
the province of Quebec, of Nova Scotia,
and subsequently of New Brunswick; and
the Western boundary of the latter prov
ince is invariably described as running
“from that point where a line due Nortli
from the source of the river St. Croix
would intersect the Southern boundary of
Quebec,” as above defined.
Now of the source of the St. Croix
there is no dispute; nor of the North line
thence proceeding. That line is the Wes
tern boundary of New Brunswick. The
dispute is as to the line of highlands, the
British government claiming that it com
mences about 100 miles further Nortli.—
But whichever is the true line, it forms
the boundary, not between New Bruns
wick and Maine but between Lower Can
ada and Maine; and if the (jne of highlands
claimed by the British government is the
true one, the territory between the two
belongs, not to New Brunswick, but
to Lower Canada. Sir John Harvey,
therefore, has nothing to do with it in any
event; and the moment he goes beyond
j his Western line, into the disputed terri
| tory claiming to exercise jurisdiction, he
is a trespasser, either upon the territory of
| Ma ine or of Lower Canada.
We commend this unexpected state of
j tlie case to the grave consideration of
j Sir John Ilarvey and Sir John Colborne.
[N. Y. Com. Advertiser.
In the course of Mr. Robertson’s speech
on the Public Lands, in the House of
Representatives, the following dialogue
I took place:
( I proceed to adduce other arguments,
Mr. Speaker, in support of the proposed
measure, drawn from the practical legis
' lation of the country, and the opinions of
| men high in authority. The authority of
| great names will have more influence, 1
j know, than any argument of mine. Gen
eral Jackson, in 1829
Mr. Pickens: Do you quote Gen Jack
son as authority?
Mr. Robertson: Not for himself, sir,
, but for the party of which he was the
leader.
Mr. Pickens: You do not call him the
leader?
Mr. Robertson: Ido sir: the acknowl
edged, tho undoubted leader: and among
his followers were some as abject and ser
vile as those of the Eastern monarch, who

Gould, kendall, a. Lincoln, have
in press, and will publish about tiie first
of March, Travels in Burmah, Hindustan, Ma
laya, Siam, and China, by the Rev. Howard
Mulcom, in 1 volume Hvo. and 2 volumes
12m0., with a superb map of Southeastern Asia,
five steel plate engravings and nearly 100
wood cuts.
Characteristics of the. Work. —lt is not a mere
diary ol events which hefel the traveller, but
contains thousands of facts, dates, numbers,
prices, Ac. Ac. which are either original or
gleaned from sources not accessible in this!
country. •
Incidents, anecdotes, and scenes have been
freely introduced, but only such ns tend to
make the reader better acquainted with the
country.
The most perfect impartiality is shown to
every sect of Christians, and such details giv
en of the various missions as will make the
work equally acceptable to every persuasion.
Such sketches are given of the history of!
the countries, towns, and missions which are j
described, ns serve to throw light upon their
present condition.
The map is beautifully executed, and may
he considered original. Many important correc
tions have been made by actual observation,
and the remainder’is chiefly drawn from origin
al and unpublished surveys by Britisli officers,!
engineers, and surveyors, to which the author
was politely granted access.
The pictures are wholly new, and form an
iinportui’t addition to our slock of oriental il
lustrations; no pains or expense has been spared
in the mechanical execution of these. Five
are on steel, showing landscapes of Maul
mein, Tavoy, Mergui, Ac. and a page exhibit
ing specimens of 15 different oriental languages.
The remainder are on wood, showing cos
tumes, implements, buildings, fruits, Ac.
A great part of the work relates to countries
almost entirely unknown, even to the best in
formed persons in our country.
Though the work contains a large amount
of missionary and religious details, yet it con
sists chiefly of geographical, historical, politi
cal, and statistical information, designed for
general readers.
The author, from the important character of
his mission, his intercourse with distinguished
civilians and experienced missionaries, his de
liberate stay at eaoli place, his previous famili- ]
arity with foreign countries, and his long ex
perience in the Board of Missions, enj tyed the
highest advantages for gathering ample and
correct details.
Chapters on the mode of conducting modern
missions; on the measure of success which has
attended the enterprise; on the almost un- j
known tribes in and around Burmah; and oth
er important subjects, are added at the close of
the work, and constitute no small part of its
value.
A laborious and complete index is appended i
to the work; together with a glossary of ori- I
ental terms; in which three hundred and cigli-1
ty words are not only lucidly defined, but ac
cented so as to show their proper pronunciation. |
The cost of the two volumes will probably
not exceed 50, at which price it will be one j
of the cheapest works issued from the Ameri- |
can press. The publishers rely for remunera
tion rather on a large sale than a high price.
A portion of the proceeds of the work are ap
propriated to the Foreign Missionary Board.

bove advertisement three inside insertions shall
be entitled to a copy of the work, on applica
tion to the publishers, scs Washington street,
