THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, MAY 18, 1839.
Reduction Convention. —The Delegates
to this Convention assembled at Milledgeviile
to the number of two hundred and eighty, on
the oth ittsb; The Convention was organized
by the choice of Hon. James M. Wayne, of
Chatham, as Pcesidejot, Lucian La Taste, Esq.
Secretary, A. L. Robinson, Messenger, and
P. It. Eidson, Considerable
discussion took the first and second
day of the meeting in relation to the oath to be
taken by the members as prescribed by the
act of the legislature. Resolutions in regard
to it were offered on the first day, together
with an amendment, which were ordered to
lie on the table.
On the 7th, we learn from the correspondent
of the Augusta Constitutionalist, “the subject
of the oath was taken up, and after debate,
and some discussion, on points of order, res
pecting the resolutions introduced yesterday
by Mr. Echols of Coweta, the yeas and nays
were taken on a resolution offered as a substi
tute for the resolutions of Mr. Echols: the yeas
were 251, the nays 31. The resolution was
then adopted; it disavows the authority of the
Legislature to prescribe the form of an oath
to be taken by the members of the convention;
but as there are no objectionable features in
that oath, the convention, by the resolution
adopted, agrged to take it. In accordance
with the resolution, the oath was administered
to the delegates by Judge Sclilv.”
The President announced the following
committee in accordance with a resolution of
fered by Mr. Berrien on the day previous, to
prepare and report a plan for the reduction of
the number of members of both branches of
the General Assembly:
Eastern Circuit. —Messrs. Berrien, Cone and
Troup. N
Middle. —Messrs. King, Gamble and Law
son.
.Yorthcrn. —Messrs. Baxter, Hardeman and
Allen.
If'estcrn. —Messrs. Hull, Wofford and Hutch
ins.
Ocmulgec. — Messrs. Stocks, Burney and

Chiittuhoo.hcc. Messrs. Jones, Patterson
and Gresham.
Cherokee. —Messrs. McAfee, Byrd and Mays.
Coweta. —Messrs. Springer, Dougherty and
Echols.
On the Bth, the Convention met forenoon
and afternoon, but the Committee of 30 not
being ready to report, adjourned until next
day.
On the 9th, afternoon, the Committee re
ported the following:
The Committee to whom was referred the
resolution of the Convention, requiring them
to report a plan for the reduction of the num
ber of the Members of the General Assembly
of this State, beg leave to report the following
ns a substitute for tlie seventh section* of the
first article of the Constitution now in force.
The House of Representatives shall be
composed of members from all the counties
which now are, or hereafter may be included
within this State, according to their respective
, numbers of free white persons, and including
three-fifths of all the people of color, to be as
certained by an actual enumeration, to he
made from time to time, at intervals of seven
years, as now by law provided. Each county
shall be entitled to one member.—Each county
having a representative population as above
specified, of five thousand persons, shall lie
entitled to one additional member, and eacli
county having such representative population
of twelve thousand persons, shall he entitled
to two additional members, but no county shall
have more than three members.
The number of members of which the House
of Representatives will be composed according
to the aforesaid ratio, and the last census,/.hall
not hereafter be increased, except when anew
county is created; and it shall be the duty of
the legislature at their session, to he holden
next after the enumeration provided for by
law, so to regulate the ratio of representation,
as to prevent such increase.
The Representatives shall he chosen annu
ally, on the first Monday of October, until
such day of election shall be altered by law.
The Committee report the following as a
substitute for the third section of the first arti
cle of the Constitution now in force.
The Senate shall consist of forty-six mem
bers, who shall be respectively resident in the
Senatorial districts for which they shall be
elected, but this number may be increased by
the creation of new counties, and if at any
time the number of counties shall not admit
of such division without leaving a surplus,
such remaining county shall he attached to
some contiguous Senatorial district.
The following shall be the Third Section of
the First Article of the Constitution of the
State of Georgia.
The Senate shall be elected annually on
the first Monday in October, and shall be com

After the reading of which the Convention
adjourned until next day.
10th. After much discussion, that part of the
Report of the Committee respecting the for
mation of the House of Representatives was
adopted with the substituting of (>OOO persons
in lieu ofsooo to entitle to an additional mem
ber.
*llth. The day was spent in discussing that
part of the report of the Committee relating to
the Seriate, much warm opposition was mani
fested to the plan—and the Convention ad
journed until Monday without taking any
question.
Many substitutes have been offered by indi
viduals for the report of the Committee, most
of them will doubtless receive attention from
the Convention, but from the discordant mate
rials of the body we believe none of them can
be adopted.
A correspondent of the Savannah Republi
can says:
You will readily perceive that the business
of reduction lias been made a party question
by the Union party. The Senatorial districts
arc so arranged as to give that party a majority
of ten in the Senate, and scale of repre
sentation in the lower house, is to be regulat
ed by a ratio of population for two and three
members in the populous counties, so ns to
give them a majority of 12 to 18 in the House.
That party has a majority in the Convention,
and from every indication which I can per
ceive, they are determined so to use that
power, us to secure a permanent and fixed
majority in both branches of the legislature.
Census of Glynn County.— To the citi
zens of this County, it is really a serious mat
ter that the representative population returned
by the last census should show a decrease
since 1831, and fall only eighty-nine short of
still entitling them to their two Representa
tives in the Legislature.—Can this be so? We
have heard, and from a quarter entitled to
credit, that the census was not correctly taken;
if so the error may yet be rectified. The value
of one Representative is important, particular
larly to the interests of Brunswick.
By the census of 1831, Glynn County stood,
Whites 622. Blacks 4028. Representative
population, 3038.
By that of 1838 Whites 675 Blacks
3727—Rep. population, 2911.
Under the Constitution, 3000 representative
population entitles a County to two represen
tatives. We call upon our citizens to look to
this matter, as it is extremely doubtful, we
think, whether any change from the present ap
portionment will be brought about by the Re
duction Convention now in session.
Our city was honored last week with a fly
ing visit from a large number of the respecta
ble inhabitants of Darien, who were on an
excursion of pleasure. It not being known
to many, until the steamer was seen coming
up the harbor, that our neighbors intended
making us a visit, must be the apology of our
citizens for the seeming coolness with which
they were received. Among the guesU we
were happy to meet our neighbor of the “Her
ald,” it being his first visit to this place;—he
appeared highly pleased with the beautiful lo
cation of our city, and her splendid harbor. In
his last paper he has a glowing description of
the excursion, in which our humble self comes
in for a share of his good-natured remarks.—
Brother Bell, we owe you one!
J
The New Orleans Bee of the 6th inst. says:
Maj. Gen’l. Macomb and General Wool of the
U. S. Army, have arrived in this city from
Florida. We understand that they have con
cluded a treaty with the Seminoles; the exact
terms of which have not yet transpired—but
the Indians are to keep possession of the
“disputed territory.”
The New York Express says: “We believe
that the commercial embarrassments of the
country are fast passing away, and that the
tendency of the money market is rapidly to
\ wards improvement. It is a singular fact,
j that at this time, the private deposites are as
large as they ever were in our banks, which
proves that there is a superabundance of capi
tal, waiting only for entire restoration of confi
dence to be brought into active operation.—
That this confidence will be brought about,
| and that very soon, we have every reason to
| believe, and we look forward to the coming
| summer for a sound, healthy and active busi
ness, with sufficient capital to sustain it.”
| Some wag in the West, who cannot forbear
to pertetrate a joke, when occasion falls in his
' way, even though it be one of serious and
melancholy interest, suggests that the Govern-
I ment might soon put an end to the Florida
war, by making each Indian a Sub-Treasurer!
Six months, he says, would be sufficient to
drive, by this system, every savage out of the
' country.

BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
“A Southerner” is out again in reply to our
remarks last week. We can only stop to no
tice a few of the mistakes he has made in
“giving to the public a fuller statement of the 1
affair,” about which we presume they care
nothing; and shall not further trouble our rea
ders on this subject.
At the meeting of Council in December 1
last, Maj. Dart was not present and did not
vote in favor of this appointment. Since that
gentleman’s return, he has informed us that lie
is decidedly opposed to giving such a large
salary for that purpose, whereby the taxes of
our citizens must be increased, (already too
large) and intends to move its reconsideration
at next meeting of Council. At the same
meeting, Mr. Harrington did not vote against
the appointment, thinking at that time, there
was some necessity for it, as it was at the
season of the year when vessels were fre
quently arriving and departing from this port.
It is true the Council appointed a Board of
Pilotage, hut not particularly for the purpose
of examining Capt. Lawrence, as will he per
ceived by reading the ordinance creating that
Board. Cun “A Southerner” inform the pub
lic why this Board, authorized by the charter
of the city, was dissolved, and what object the 1
City Council, or those members who voted
for its dissolution, had in view?
It is not true that Capt. Lawrence has “re
peatedly solicited” that Board for an examina
tion, and that every impediment has been
thrown in his way. At least if it is so, the
late members of that Board, know nothing of
the fact.
With regard to the conversation between
the Mayor and Capt. Lawrence we know no
thing; and whether “our friend the Mayor”
will be pleased or displeased at our temerity,
wo care less. We have expressed our opin
ion upon this, as we shall do upon all public
matters, please or displease who it may.
We think we know near enough who “A
Southerner” is, without taking tlie trouble to
enquire at the Post Office; and shrew illy sus
pect he is not a citizen of this place, having
resided here less than six months!
The Late Dud in .Yoiih- Carolina. —The
Norfolk Beacon, noticing the report which
reached Baltimore that the report of the duel
between Mr. Jones, of North-Carolina, and
Mr. Wilson, of New-York was a hoax, says:
“We wish such were the case, but the only
ground of the rumor was, that the dead body
of Mr. Wilson had not been seen by those
who were in the way of seeing it. We would
only add that our account of the unhappy affair
was obtained from one who had too good rea
son to know the particulars, and that since the
rumor was afloat we have seen a letter from
the best authority, stating that the body of
the unfortunate W ii.son, was buried near Cnr
rituck Court House. Other letters corrobor
ate the burial of the body as just stated.”
The splendid steam packet Neptune was
sold at Charleston on the 7th inst. for twenty
eight thousand dollars. This boat cost about
$120,000 two years ago.
In the Supreme Court of Massachusetts re
cently, Joseph Dana Adams, lute Cashier of
the Fulton Bank, accused of fraudulently ab
stracting the funds of that Institution, received
his trial. The case was submitted to the jury
as soon as the evidence for the Commonwealth
had closed, who immediately returned a ver
dict of .V ot Guilty.
Joseph Verbruggen, a native of Germany,
and James Days, an Englishman, recently
convicted of piracy on board tiie Braganza,
and who were awaiting their sentence in the
New York city prison, have both committed
suicide; the former on the morning of the 4th
inst. by hanging himself, and the latter on the
evening of the same day, by cutting his throat
Fish and Silk. —The New York Journal of
Commerce says, that un individual lias been
supplying the Jersey market w ith shad’s eggs
in place of silk worm’s eggs, at a considerable
reduction in price. Sales were made in Mon
mouth county to the amount of S7OO. Next
year it is expected that shad will be growing
on Mulberry trees.
Internal Improvement in Michigan.—
The Detroit Free Press gives the following
list of appropriations which were made at the
recent session of the Legislature of Michigan,
for the continuation of the several works of in
ternal improvement for the present year:
SIOO,OOO on the southern railroad.
100,000 on the central railroad.
40,000 on the northern railroad.
60,000 on the Clinton and Kalamazoo ca
nal.
25,009 so» the improvement of the St. Jo
seph river.
25,000 for the improvement of Grand
river.
I
From Florida. —The St. Augustine news
of the 4th inst. has the following:
EXPRESS FROM TAMPA BAY.
Since our paper was ready for press, an ex
press has arrived from Tampa Bay, bringing
intelligence that the hostile Indians have car
ried away the friendly Indians who were in
1 camp, among them is A eamatlda. The In
dians, it is conjectured, are beginning to mis
trust the promises of the white jlag, now waiv
ing throughout the Territory.
From the South. —Lieut. Col. Harney, 2d
Dragoons, has made a thorough recounois
sance of the country South, but fell in with
no Indians. The garrisons are all well.
[From the St. Joseph Times.]
We call public attention to the very inter
esting letter of Colonel Joseph M. White,
extracted from the New Orleans Commercial
Bulletin, and addressed to the Hon. .Thomas
Butler King, of Georgia. The Brunswick
Railroad is one of those gigantic enterprises,
adopted to the spirit of the age, the effects of
which will be to promote trade and travel, and j
unite by ties of neighborhood, portions of our
country now w idely separated by distance j
over trackless wastes. Railroads are the lig- j
aments w hich connect and bind together the |
otherwise discordant members of this great
confederacy, and we do not . despair in the
hope that one day the united energies of this
great nation will be directed to the completion
of a National thoroughfare Iron Maine to New j
Orleans. Aliy system of internal improve
ments which, while adding to our productive
prosperity elevates the national character by
making friends of those who were strangers,
should receive the united encouragement of
the merchants, the agrieuturalist and the Po
litician. \\ e regard then all our leading in
terests concerned in the successful prosecu
tion of the Brunswick Railroad. It may inter
fere with routes already established, it may
check the growth of towns and cities now fos
tered by travel, and the want of better ave
nues of trade, but its general result upon the
commerce and intercommunication of the coun
try, must he decidedly favorable. The vigor
manifested by this company in carrying out
their designs, notwithstanding the oppressed
condition of our monetary affairs, is a fa
vorable omen of their ability and intention un
der approaching and more flattering auspices j
to complete what they have so zealously be
gun. It was first set down by the dreaming
Can H inkle's of the South as a speculation, a
humbug—a thing to bo commenced and sold
off, but the high character and the capital
pledged to its completion, added to the earnest
already given, have satisfied the doubtful hith-,
erto, that the work will be as certainly finish
ed as it is now begun. The Terminus of the
road on the Gulf side, begins to he a question
of absorbing interest. Whether the road w ill
terminate at Chattahoochee, leaving to other
companies the task of extending communica
tions to Pensacola, St Andrews, St. Joseph,
or Apalachicola, or whether they will push
their energies across the Apalachicola river
and plant u great city on the waters of the
Gulf-are questions which a few months to
come will decide. On an impartial review of
the advantages and disadvantages likely to
arise from such decision, we are decidedly of
opinion that the interest of the Brunswick
Company, would be advanced by terminating
their road at Chattahoochee, or by extending
it to a point opposite IOLA and forming u
junction on favourable terms with the St. Jo
seph Company. The reasons for this opinion
are obvious—because St. Joseph Bay, is ea
sier of access to vessels of heavy draught than
either of the other points, except Pensacola,
the distance to which is an insuperable ob
jection: because the capital enlisted in sup
port of St. Joseph, its new Railroad which
will be certainly in operation by July, and the
projected Canal, which will be finished before
the Brunswick Company, can extend their
road to the Apalachicola river will place that
Town in a position to he formidable if not
beyond the reach of opposition. Is it not
more politic therefore for the Brunswick com
pany, to connect themselves with a similar en
terprise of internal improvement on the eve of
successful completion—than to go into tho
wootls unaided and with an influence, wealth
and enterprise enlisted against them, that will
forever cripple and embarrass their operations.
By adopting anew and a different route, they
may speculate ou Town lots, but are tile pros
pects from this source so profitable and per
manent as a judicious investment and co-oper
ation with a sister Company equally energetic
with themselves and in successful operuiion.
Will not their energies control the trade mid
the travel—important and profitable to both.
Now if the Brunswick Cos., shall determine to
stop their road on the Banks of the Apalachi
cola river leaving it to other companies to com
plete the communication w ith the waters of
the Gulf—would it not he more liberal, polit
ic and in. accordance with the name and spirit
of their corporation to extend to Florida a por
tion ot its benefits. And is this object better
effected by running the road from Thomasville
to Chattahoochee, over a barren uninhabited
waste of pine land, or by a line from the for
mer Town through the rich and populous
counties of Leon and Gadsden, to the alluvial
land on the Apalachicola river opposite lola.
By adopting the -latter route Middle and
West Florida would become interested in the
success ol the scheme—a direct communica
tion would thus be established through the
capital of the future State of Florida, now
connected by railroad with the flourishing
Fort of St. Marks, and destined to be the
neudeus of other important routes. The ad
ditional travel, and cotton and other produoe
transported on tho road by this change of
route, would form no inconsiderable item in
its revenue.
We have loosely thrown these suggestions
together, hoping they will meet the'aitention
and due consideration of all concerned.

VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND.
The packet steam ship Liverpool, Captain
Fayer, arrived last evening, after a fine pas
sage of seventeen days, from Liverpool. She
has brought ninety-four cabin passengers, ra
ther more, we believe, than her full comple-;
ment. Indeed, we are informed that there;
were many other applicants for berths, and in
some cases those w ho had taken passage “sold
their right” at a considerable premium. The
Liverpool papers inform us that about one j
third of the berths were engaged for the trip
of the 28th of June.
Our dates by the Liverpool arc, London to
the evening of April 19th, and Liverpool to
the 20th, botli inclusive. .
The intelligence by this arrival is of high
interest, and quite remarkable. One of those
sudden turns in the progress of events lias
taken place, which sometimes occur to bailie j
all calculation, and show the folly of (Militicnl
prophecy. For months past our tidings from
Europe have been still of gathering clouds on j
the political horizon, daily increasing in black- j
ness and in volume; and wearing an aspect so
threatening that it seemed almost impossible
but they must be attended with tempest arid
convulsion. In a moment, as it were, we find
them dispersed, and all around is sunshine and ;
gladness.
The hostile appearances between England ,
and our own country have entirely disappear- j
od— the occasions of jealousy and bickering
between France and England, and England
and Russia, have been removed by courteous >
diplomacy—-in the East the alarming condi
tion of affiirs is succeeded by such a change
ns.almost totally removes the possibility of sc- 1
rious trouble —in France the wisdom and
firmness of the King have piloted him safely I
through the difficulties of his position, and the
factious projects of his enemies are scattered
to the winds, the long-pending quarrel between
Belgium and Holland is peacefully adjusted— 1
and in a word tho whole aspect of European 5
affairs has not been for years more strongly
indicative of quiet and prosperity than at tho !
present moment.

[From the Georgia Journal. ]
The calls of private business and tlie pros-!
pect of declining health, have influenced the |
present Editor and Proprietor of tho Georgia
Journal to dispose of his interest in this estab- 1
lishmcrit to Maj. John H. Steele &. Peterson j
Thwcatt, Jr. Esq.
Mr. Tlivveatt will immediately take charge of
tho paper, and by tiie first of June, Maj. Steele,
will give to the office the acquisition of bis ser
vices. The political cast of the piper will re
main unchanged, and the friends of liberal
principles in Georgia may look to its future
course with the confident expectation of realis
ing from its exertions, in conjunction with oth
ers, many valuable achievements. Combining
1 in its management, extensive political knowl
edge and great practical wisdom, tile immedi
ate friends of the Journal, may anticipate eve
ry inducement to continue their patronage.
In dissolving his connexion with the paper,
j tho undersigned cannot refrain from conveying
|to its patrons an expression of gratitude for
j the lively interest with which they have been
pleased to regard his exerti -is to serve them,
and the very substantial manner in which flint
1 interest has been expressed;—and, it is with
j satisfaction he announces, that the establish
ment passes out of his hands, in a much more
prosperous condition than that in which it was

Banki.no.— ln these times of Bank Reports,
i and mistrust of banks, it is pleasant to hear of
a bank whose operations seem so conducive
| to the general good, and to the increase of the
wealth of the country.
With pleasure we give our hearty approval
; of tiie extensive business transactions of tint
I following really grand hank, so cleverly dc
; scribed by a Massachusetts paper:
“Tho Banking System will be very exten
sively pursued this season, particularly at Mar
j blcliead. Stockholders daily increase; and
j with them the directors are nearly as numer
< ous. Almost every body is impressed into the
i service as runners and tellers. But we are
happy to believe that the system will not prove
corrupt. The number of vessels to convey
the specie is about 80, and the number of men
1 and boys about 600. A few lines frpm any of
! the tellers will draw almost any amount of
J specie. Discount days, every day in the week.
1 All these individuals are employed by one
| bank, whose capital is equal, perhaps, if not
superior, to that of any other in the United
! States.
! The name of this Institution is the Grand
j Bank; its president is Neptune; its cashier,
j Zephyr; and one of its directors, (an ugly lel
, low,) Davy Jones. Its tellers are fishermen; 1
| its specie, codfish and halibut. The premium
I is bounty. j
j The product of the fisheries of Massachu-j
setts, for the year ending April 1, 18.37, was J
j seven and one half millions of dollars; employ
ing 20,000 hands, and tweive millions dollars
J capital.
Important Work. —A rail road of vast,
importance South w ill be that across the Flor- |
ida Peninsula, from Brunswick, Geo. to the j
i Gulf, the other side. The Engineer reports j
! no less than 120 miles a dead level track, and !
; the rest of easy curves. Gen. Hamilton, the j
J substantial friend of every enterprise, is en-
I gaged as one of the commissioners to effect a
loan. A branch is to connect with Columbus. I
\ Much of the commerce of New Orleans, and i
all that region destined to the North will |
eventually take this route to escape the dan-1
I gers of the Florida and Bahama reefs. Bruns-
I wick, if it have the harbor reputed, may be
! another great emporium.—[N. Y. Star.

Rights Convention, held at Milledgeville on

Happiness Enjoyed.—A captain in the
navy, meeting a friend, boasted that he
had left his whole ship’s company the hap
piest fellow* in the world. “How so?”l
asked the friend. “Why, I have just flog
