It). IS.II Dear Sir: Yours of the 3d was dull received, and I have lo apologise for not un.-vveeingit so-mer; but the extent id ground covered by your ipierieserender cd it neees-nry that 1 should give you something more limn n mere tiliii niat ii e or negative answer. lit one word llien, >the Pemisfilvan-ia Inquirer i» correct .in its position, that there is a vegy decided opposition to the re-election of tl»e present Governor of IS’ew-York; hut it is all in the dark as to fill 1 nature imd source of that opposition, its o’ijerrt and its strength. When, in IMJS, it was determined to run Mr. Vue Bnren for Governor, it was deemed ud tvisable to take n ninn from the west, lot Lieut. Governor, nnd Enos T. Thr.io was selected—nut lieeauae lie 'had any punitive merits ivj‘ e.luims, but heemise his ■nrgrt/ire virtues were of a description l hut .rendered him a safe candidate. Nothing could tie urged against him.and he was .of course-elected onthe strength of the .popularity of Gen. Jackson mid Mr. N an iluren. When Mr. V. IV nits “'translated" lo Washington, Mr. Throop, of course, be came the acting Governor, nnd then his want of positive qualifications became ap parent. Instead of advising with the prominent men of onr party, lie surren dered the reins of government to the edi tor of the Argus, Mr. Porter, the Regis ter in Chancery, nnd Mr Glcott. the Cashier of the l-’anners’ and Mechnnies' Hank. Judge Mnrey, Mr. Wright, our Comptroller, nnd Air. Flagg, the tSeere turv ofSltUc —men who possess the eou lidenee of the deniocrntie party, nnd who have never abused that confidence—who wielded the power of that great State for yams, wltlumt enriching or benefit ing themselves, and w hat is more, who were known to possess this power, nnd familiarly termed “she Regency,” yet Imd pitch a hold upon the affections ol -the people, that they cheerfully failmiil ted to it. These men were thrust aside by Throop—Ooswell's star beetHtw the ascendant, and our Mtnte nnd its desti nies have been in the hands of » set ol men whose only qmditieations for oilier is ordinary, every day honesty, in theit dealings with mankind. For n long time the idea prevailed that Murry, Wright, and Flagg, continued te exorcise a proper influence in the coun cils -if the Stale, but about the time of tin Inst gubernatorial election the truth was whispered about, mid the eotvsequeacr •• cs.M-hnt,-but for tire -support • iff Ihe FEDERAL MAHON'S in therfverroun ties, an jiuti-mosonio Governor would have been eleeteil. The new Regency —tire ‘small lights.’-became alarmed, nnd early in the last session ofthc Legis lature, they iiitinmted that Throop would not oguin be a candidate for Governor, but wo‘-hl aid in the noniitnition of Mr. Livingston, our worthy amiable Lieut. Governor. This has kept the parly und those iietjiiuiuted with the position ol thing's at Albany, quiet, and honest poli ticians und able men, have consented to be considered responsible for nets ol which they disapprove, nnd which are calculated to bring the Hlute into disre pute. This was the situation of matters at the • close of (he lust session of our Legislu iure, hut. the evident ‘nerense of strength in the democratic ranks, und the-hope »l being ulile to »i/i"gg/e Throop in uj/mt tin ihuuldem oj (Sen. Juckeon, hits induced them to change their views: nnd notwitltslnr.d iiiff their declarations-lost winter, they nre now milking their arrangements for his renorniniiliou. This w ill produce a seism in-our milks-for a short time, hut the people-will take the muter into their ‘ own liniids, and you may rely upon it, his eiireernsa politician, is at an end.— i In reply to your question, who will he his successor'? I must answer, I don’t know. We urv in favor of Mr. Li vingston, who is it linn and independent democrat, und possesses talents which quality him for the station. Dut-should li.s claims be set aside—which I do not apprehend—-then we will give our cordial support to iiu\ honest old school republican that the party may bring forward. In New York we are all parly men, und individual pre ferences are.iuiidedo yield to the public good. Yon -will now ninder.-tund the true . cause of opposition lo Gov. Throop. nnd you will also perceive thill Ibis opposi tion does nit) originate with Gen. Root and his friends, though it is not impossi ble but lie may be (he gainer by it. For in-limee, should a contest for a noniinii tinn happen lo be between him mid Throop, wo would aid the old General, ns would three-fourths of those in the southern part of the Mint?, -who were the advocates of Throop iu lb.‘lo.

COTTON MARKETS'. j By the arrival Os the Br. ship Atlantic, at Sa vannah, wc have advices from Liverpool of sth December. More Business had been doing in Cotton, in that market, though at a decline gen erally of j,d per Ih. Sales, 15,700 hales, of 1 | which 9,1)30 were Uplands, at 1 |d a (hjil. By the arrival of the ship James Dickerson, . al Savannah, we have advices to the 23tfi Dec., from Havre. New Uplands had boon sold i at a decline of 3 centimes. Letters from Ha ■ vro represent the Liverpool .Colton inn ket as, ■ being very dull, on tho 25th December, at a decline. There was a great press of Colton on the Liverpool market, peremptory orders hav ing-reached there to close sales, as a very large . crop was expected in this country. It was the opinion in •Sunderland, on the 3rd December, (hat tho''Cholera would soon disap > pear. We incline somewhat to tho belief, that the Asiatic spasmodic Cholera has not yet made its uppeii'anon .in England. We judge so from the doubts that appear to exist in tlio minds of many, Physicians and Olliers, and because it is but too common to paint such tilings in the dark est colours. We see nothing particularly alarming to the Merchant, in the present political situation of Europe. Wo are not without confidence in the stability of the English Government. There are those, however, who differ from ns in opinion, and among them, some of the best informed Merchants in our country. Our advices from New Vork are more favo rable for Cotton. We give the following extract ‘iom tho latest dates from that city.: “Wo no tice sales of 2,000 bales Cotton, of which about 1,500 wore Uplands, at ti alO .cents, and 100 bales, very fine, at 10J cts.” The advices from Charleston and Savannah, are rather more favorable for tlio holders of 'Cotton. Shipping bad become more plenty,and Fr eights bad declined. In Charleston there were 20 vessels in port wailing for freight. Qitota j lions nf Cotton in both markets, a9l cts. Advices from Now-O. leans represent Cotton as being brisk cf sale, in that market, at 7 a 12 cents. Stock, 20,071 bales. Freight, id, to Liverpool, and dull. Tlio receipts of Cotton in our market, during I lie week, but have been moderate.

THE *• ATTACK ON THE STAGE.” Considerable doubt appears to rest on the ! Oliver's report of am “Attack on the Stage,” ' as given in our last; and wc understand that he 1 has been discharged. After bis statement to !'Dr. Aktost, ho continued on, and most loi : 1 Innately found the «!age, horses, passenger, > j and mail, all safe, al llie next stand, about * JO miles ahead.; and continued with them on , to Savannah, without any material delay— s none but wiliat was made up for, in the remain - dcr o( the distance, by an mcroiwe of the ordina • ry speed. The Driver was shockingly wounded, ' in his coat, which was dreadfully cut, by somc * hotly; and as to his bruises, wo believe there y were none but what might have been occasioned _ ; by bis fall from the seat,without the least aid t>om [. | the “ two men in Kendal green."—Not a little I credit U due to the spirited and enterprising pro proprictor.' Jlr.-’SHAN'voK, for the excellent dis cipline cf Ins horses, for with such, and'good dri vers, throughout the lino, the passengers will have little cause to be afraid of stage accidents. Weamdeistand that a similar circumstance oc curred with-a stage of hia many years ago, when, after standing a. the old Globe, the ordinary time for receiving the passengers and baggage, the horses went on by themselves through the streets to the Post Ofiice, where they stopped as usual for the mail, and wee overtaken there. No man we presume better knows the rpmlities r of horses, and the proper management of them, ami of a stage line generally, than lie; and one . of bis rules is. that the utmost regularity shall i always be observed in preserving exactly the . same route, speed, ■ time of stopping at each . stand, &c. etc. which will account in some de gree, for the peculiar steadiness and d scipline manifested by bis iiorses, in the above two in stances. —The following article we copy from, the Constitutionalist of y estei day : “ Wc trust the c is some mistake respecting the attack upon the Stage mentioned in the ' Chronicle of Wednesday. Our city and its on-. 1 1 vi ons have ever been remarkably free from out | rages of ibis kind, and wo should very much re ign;! lira-occurence of an incident .going in some ; measure to deprive it of thUenviable reputation. . j We are told that whatever injury the diiver ’ ; may have sustained, the stage, baggage, ho ses ■ ! and a passenger who was quietly asleep, receiv ed not tho 'least. Tlio well disciplined horses I proceeded onward about ten miles and stopped | of their own accord, when the passenger calling for a drink of water became sensible lor the first time of the absencs of his Jehu, The circum i. ! stances of the case—and we do not vouch for those we relate, will no doubt bo fully invostiga ted by the indefatigable wild enterprising Mr. Shannon. FEDERAL UNION W e are gratified to perceive, by the following extract from this paper, that the success which I might naturally have been expected from the , i joint efforts of its present able &. intelligent oili 'tors, has, so far, been most flatteringly realized, by a very large increase of patronage. Its pre sent very extensive circulation affords peculiar advantages to Advertisers; «fc we doubt nut that I circulation will still go on increasing with equal 1 rapidity, while its contemplated enlargement | will also aid materially in improving its value and usefulness: “Tho Federal Union was just eighteen months old when llie last number was issued. When our first miniber appeared, we bad upon our' mail-book about Hl)j responsible subscribers. We can now number upwards of 15IIU pood j men and true, not including our exchange list. I For this groat increase of patronage, the editors ! tender their warmest thanks to -those active friends by whom if has been acquired. We are, in justice, bound to reciprocate their generosity. Our few last papers have been so crowded with hasluess, I hut wo havo bad no space for pdlitics and miscellany. In justice to onr realleis,.. therefore, we shall, as soon as the order can bo complied with, procure a press and materials, and issue a shoot as large as tho largest in Guor- S'a- THE PLOT DISCOVERED. It will ho recollected, that wo expressed tlio conviction, sometime ago, that notwithstanding the protestations of the Richmond En pliror and ntho' s, a deep intrigue was afoot to smuggle Mr. Van Boren into the Presidency, through tlio of fice of Vice President—that ho and his fi ie .ds were sensible he could not got into llie Presi dency by tho voice of tho people, and wore thorofore determined to aim at it by indirect . moans—that tlio ago and infirmities of General Jackson, and his si viro duties and fatigues nf ofiice, rendered it probable that bo would not outlive a second term of ofiice, in which case the Vico President would become President, for , the remainder of the term —that the Van Boren intriguers, aware of ibis, wore, doubtless, do lorniini'd to bring forward Mr. VanVuren lor the latter ofiice, at a suitable time, and that the Balti more Convention, to meet in May next, and got ten tin by them, would, no doubt, nominate Van Ilm en —that the groat number of persons al ready nominated for tho Vico Presidency, was, doubtless, the result of deep design, thereby to keep public-opinion on the subject, Jiriiliil, till tin: time should ar. ive to concentrate it on Mr. Van Bii.cn, at once, without giving time to dis cuss his pretensions; when the present nomi nees (believed to bo all Van Huron men) would, no doubt, all withdraw iu favor of him, and give him their influence—and that the retirement of Mr. Van Bu cii from the cabinet, and to Eng land, was, doubtless, a part of the plot; for, so strongly did the voice of public opinion set against him, after the rupture between the President and V. Pres’t. and the dissensions iu llie Cabinet, that the only way to appease it, was to flee Com it; & bad lie remained in ofiice, or bad the temerity to face the public indignation, by oll'eriug himself, then, as a candidate for the Vico Presidency, it would have, completely destroyed him; and some of his more discreet friends, the Richmond Enquirer and others, sensible of this, endeavor ed, assidiously, to impress upon the public mind, the belief, that bo would not be u candidate. We did not expect, however, when express ing the opinions above reviewed, tho result of a calm examination of the signs of the times, that the vilo plot would so soon have been develop eil, as it has been lately, Iry llie publication of a private letter of James Watson Weep, one of the proprietors of the New-Vork Courier and Enquirer, which will bo found iu another co lumn. Mr, Webb's paper lias long been looked upon as deeply in the confidence of Mr. Van Boren, and has generally spoken of him, bis views, and bis policy, mare antlieritivoly, Mian any other. And it will bo seen that he re marks, in relation to the Vice Presidency; “ As to the VICE PRESIDENCY, Van Huron MUST |bo the man, nolens rolens. If noi, WE CAN 1 NEVER MAKE HIM PRESIDENT, and the | PULE POLICY now is, to start a candidate in ( CV ERV S FATE. It is said that the Senate will reject bis nomination to England. 1 HOPE SO ; tor then hie election as V. P. and afterwards ’ Prosidenl, is rendered morally certain.” Well; bis “ hope ” is now gratified. The Semite has rejected the nomination of Mr. Van Buren, as Minister to England ; aud we shall now see whether “ Ins election as Vico Presi dent, and utterwards President, is rendered mo rally certain.” If it is, wo are most egregious ly decieved in the virtue and intelligence of tlio American people. i 'Pfle editor of fbo tho United States Tele graph, iu publishing this letter, observes— “ We here have the whole machinery disclos ed—candidates are to be staitcd in cvoij State.. m^uiimi aluiiiiiwm J .ifTti««iTMr.'»Mrari' ■ln conformity to tins plan, they have been start ed in every direction; most of them the devoted partisans of Mi. Van Buren, who are to be rea dy to yield their own claims in bis favor; and it is a remarkable feature iu the history of this pro ceeediug, that, whilst candidates arc to be start ed in every other Slate, special case lias been taken that no other candidate lias been started in New-York; liras leaving him unembarrassed, by a rival, Vi his own Stale. In the mean time, he is to pass- the ordeal of the Senate, -mil this is to be siezed upon, let the event be what it w ill, to aid in smuggling him in. Should bo be rejected on account of bis corruption and intrigues, bis partisans will raise the cry of peisccution, as is avowed in this letter. While, on the other hand,-should he pass, that will also bo seized up on as conclusive proof that he is innocent of the many acts of which he is known to have been guilty, ami which have tended to divide, distract, and corrupt the country. “While these intrigues are going on. secret ord ers are issued font tho Regency estahlisliedliero, to fill the Baltimore convention with bis subserVi enf tools, as preparatory to bis nomination. Re- ■ goneies have been apj united in the iJifle.eiiti States, through which the decrees of the Wash- ‘ ington cabal, beaded hy Kendall and Lewis, are, carded into effect. There arcVeveralofthe Stales , where the supporters of the present administra tion, are in a small minority, they are organized with a view to the enjoyment of lira patronage of the government. These States w'fll’bo fully represented, ami, dependant as they are upon the cabal, their delegates will consist of the most subservient tools i f power. These, added to the large and well-d filed phalanx from New York, and such of tlio delegates from the other States as will be subject to their 'dictation, will place lira movements of the Baltimore convention* en tirely under (he control of Lewis Kendall, &, Co. Such is lira machinery'by which it is intended to smuggle lira arch intrigueant into the highest of fice in the eift of the peonle; for the real object is not to make a Vico-President, but a Presi sident. It is avowed in the letter that'they “can never make him I’REoIUENT” but by fiist making him Vice-President. Wc will explain ibis mysterious expression. As painful as it is, we feel it to be our duly. There never was a time when the peoj le wore so gulled ; so'be trayed ;so deceived. They are made to believe that they ate about to choose a President for the next four yea: > s, in lira person of Andrew Jack son; when, in point of fact, every sensible man bore, of oveiy party, knows that, instead of choosing the next President, in Gen. Jackson, fur the, next ter in, as the people suppose, they will choose him in the person of lira Vice Prcsi dent, whoever he may be I So infirm is Gen. Jackson now; so little prospectus there of bis living through the next term; that the profligate crew who are living upon his influence, and are controlling lira movements iu tho election of the President and Vice-President, n o trembling lest bo should expire before the petiud of the , election arrives. “We feel it onr duty to speak boldly. Every one v\ ho visits him, is stinuk with be fact, that lie is fast sinking; and that, if possible, his men t.d faculties are giving way faster fiian his idly sical strength. It has no parallel in this country, but in lira gross imposition attempted in lira case ofAlr. Crawford ; who was sneporlofl, and voted for, ns President, when it was known (hut 'both body and mind we e so paralizod as utlcily to' unlit him for lira ofiice; and it is a striking and. • remarkable fact, that lira same individudis who were piominent in that case—now acknowledg ed lodiovo been so gross an imposition on the* American people,—are equally piominent in lira, present. It would be cm ions to look over a list of those who stuck by Mr. Crawford to lira last, lei,owing licit lie was incompetent to perfornii llie duties of (Im ofiice, and see'liow many of lira' same are pc forming, now, a similar part. We may ourselves, should wo have leisure, present the’list. “It is thus'that Mr. Van'Buren and diis parti sans, while they are nominally pressing iq on lira American people lira re election of Gen. Jack son as President, are, in reality, conspi.ing to de f and them into the election of Mr. Van Bitten as President, hy presenting him, nominally, as a candidate fur lira Vice-Presidency..” To say nothing of tlio j olitical corruption ma-i nilestsd in this letter of .Mr. Wchh, who can read its monstrous avowal of a conspiracy against (lie life of Gen. Green, without abhorrence and wonder—abhorrence of its cold-blooded ini quity, and wonder, that be could have lira hard! hood to avow such a design, to any man 1 ving. Wc know not how it may strike others, but to ns, it is absolutely shocking. What if lira con spiracy bad been carried out, in all its disgusting details; as it might have been but for this timely ilcvnlopcmcnt; and Gen. Green bad “nibbled at lira bafit,” as lira writer calls it, and fought him, and been hilled ; would such a result have been anything less than nurd or —premeditated, de liberate murder ? We must hope, however, for the sake of humanity, and the feelings of Mr. M ebb himself, fiiat this part of his letter was all mere braggadocio, and that ho did not actually intend to do what ho so wantonly A outrageous ly declared.—No wonder that the writer of such a letter should sneer al men’s “ordinary cvoiy \ day honesty, in their dealings with mankind,’ as little or no qualification for office; hot xvo trust that the great body of lira people will look upon it us one of lira fi st qualifications, anil an indis pensablo requisite. STATE OF OUR POLITICS. There never was a period in the history of our country, when its institutions—principally the coufedorative ones, though the evil is by no means confined to them—were so fast tending toward eortiqilioa anil decay, ns at the present time. Scarcely a paper is now to bo opened that dues not dovolope something of “ intrigue, bargain, end management;” and, so common has it now became, that it is no longer astonish ing to see strait things openly avowed and advo cated. Mark, for instance, the late declaration? of the Richmond Enquirer, that “tho Secretary oFlira Treasury frankly told him [Gen. Cadwal- Imler, a sort of agent of the U. S. Bank',] that it. the Bank moved in it [lira renewal of the char ter] this winter, and if the bill should pass both Houses, he (Mr. McLanojwill not hesitate to ad vise lira President to reject.tbc bill”—because i t might interfere with the President’s re-election. And liras the interests of lira Bank, which the Secretary is in favor of, and those of the cotm t, y, are all to be sacrificed to tbe President's re election. And the Enquirer not only mentions this without reprobation, but even in a style of approbations and the Jackson members of Con gross opposed the introduction of tbe Petition lor a renewal ol the charter, on the same grounds. And all this wanton disregard of prin oiple—this man-worship—and sacrifice of tbe in forests of the Republic to.persimal and party con siderations, passes in fall view of the American people, with, scarcely a warning or dissenting voice—-but one, that we have seen, and that of tbe U. S. Telegraph. And, now, what a scheme of iniquity is developed in Mr. Webb's letter, copied into another column ! Do these things, and numbeis ot others of a similar nature, con tinually transpiring, and passiftg unccnsured through the papers, bode no ill to llie country 1— j . —— m or do they not rather cull upon tlie people—eve ry single man of them—to arouse themselves and make a determined stand for their liberties, tin; pm ity of their institutions, and the character of their country; which we do believe are greatly endangered. And who, that willca'm ly look around him, and see how patriotism, Republicanism, liberty, the people, &c. arc ev e y where becoming mere personal and par ly catch words, in the mouths only of noisy demagogues and office hunters—-bow j rinci ples are openly and i ontinually sacrificed to men, and party —and how Uvery great political question is determined, solely with reference tn men or parties, and the means of exalting them on the one side and defeating them on the other, without the least care for their effects u; on tiro country, or its welfare:—wlio, we sny, can loflt nronnd him, and see these things, ntid vloubt it ; doubt that the' liberties of his courtffy Ve' ih’dan ; pc, and that 'it 'Will reqffn'e Hie Utmost efforts of virtue anid ’irttelligesvec, on the part of the , peo le, to relievo them fronvit’? “ The [nice of liberty, is eternal vigilance’’—and the Republic expects crcry man to do bis dat-y —particnlai ly the ■ bunible and obscure—they who too common!,- 1 appeal to their Immhle stations as an excuse r.r ; justification of their culpable snpinencss, and ! neglect of the sawed duliesof their citizenship | for, on them, mostly, and not on office-seekers or officeholders, must their country rely for the | u rity and safety of her institutions, and partieu , holy for their protection, in the hour of danger. Let nr, man, then, say, “>I urn but a single indi vidual, and no politician, and must leave these Ro political men.” Every or each man is but a single individual'—the -whole country is made tip of single individuals—and every one ought to bo so far a politician as to keep an eye conlin nally to the welfare of his country, and the best i means of promoting it. The inestimable bless ings of the liberties of oar country ore eqiiullv shared, and their responsibilities, duties, and ■ burthens, must, therefore, be eipnllly borne, hv every citizen. And he who would evade or ne glect the latter, is unworthy of the former, and a mere useless and worthless burthen upon the , body politic. 'Every good, of whatever nature, necessarily carries with it some responsibility, care, and duly, corresponding with it exactly m, ; magnitude and importance; and no man car evade the latter, without injury to the former. “ The price of liberty, is eternal vigilance;” an.! whenever that vigilance is suspended, that lib erty and its blessings me assuredly endangered, and, (if the vigilance he not speedily renewed) ultimately destroyed. In such cases, whatever each man can do, he should do, and then, if he fails, ho has, at least, the great and 'noble conso lation, of-feeling, that no part of the guilt of - such danger or dost; uclir.n rests upon himself. The best, and only moans of success, arc, an en tire sacrifice of all personal and party prcjinli ; ces, or partialities, which-come in contllet with principles, and d overt km to principles alone, looking to men, only as the instruments of pro ! serving, exerting, and promoting them. It is a fatal error, mi the pai't ofmmy, to believe, that, having established what they conceive the best forms of liberty, those ‘forms alone will protect and preserve it. As well might they believe, that an impure or poisonous liquid could not ho in Iro.limed into the most pore and beautiful ves sel—nr expect that after once putting all tlirir household or business affairs in the best possible order, they could never afteiwmds become disordered, however neglected, and that their business Would then, of i's.slf, afford tlnmi a subsistence, and make them a fortune, without any further effort on their own part. No, “ the prieo of liberty, is eternal vigilance; ” and ho who is not sensible that the worst of coirn, lion, . tyranny, and oppression, may bo infused into, and practiced 'tindor, the best forms of liberty, knows little or nothing of liberty but its name and its effects. For, bo it remembered, that there is nothing on earth but lias an equal capa city, boili for good and evil, and consequently, - that that which is capable of producing the mo-a good, is also capable of producing the most evil TWEMY MINE DAYS LATER Oitick oy tiik (Jkohuu.v, t S'nrannah, Feh.
