(the lull ofabomin ationsnsit is crlled.) passed in the year IS2#. at the period when the feeling en tin* Presidential election was at tin* highest. It caused the giealest excite ment not only fcoin (lie nature of tin* mea sure. but from its supposed bearing on tlie Presidential tjtiestion. When the bill was seat to the tSeimle, the general im pressioti was that its fate would depend on the casting vote of Mr. Ottlhoun. This, us course, excited gix*al nppix*hcnsi(>n n inong tin* friendk of General .bu-kson. lest it slionld ofl'Cct Ids election, that one who stood upon bis ticket as a candidate for the N ice Presidency should defeat the bill.' This apprehension was made known to Mr. falliouu. nceompaniod by « strong desire that be should evade the question by retifeingfrom the chair, uii,l placing in it u tetnporai-jr- substitute, us the rules of the Semite authorise the Viet- President to do. Yet. although this sag gestion was accompanied by an intima •lion tiiat an ojtposite course would up «.*»*;■-sarily compel the friends of General Ja< hf.on to [dace a different name on tin ticket the Vice Presidency. Mr. Cal houn. with that inflexibility and lolly and disinterested attachment to duty, whiiJi lew can equal, replied that no considc ration could induce him to adopt the com»e intimated; that he believed, that the bill if passed, would prove most dan gerous to the peace nnd harmony of the country, that the adjustment of the tarirl (picstion would, on the payment of the public debt, be a subject of great difficul ty without the passage of this act, and that the diftleulty would become almost Insurmountable if the act should pass; as it would not only greatly increase the excitement between the two sections <>l the country, but would also greatly in crease the shock which must take place oh the discharge ofthe debt—that, fore j seeing these consciences, he felt bound | to do -all in lire power, to arrest so dan- j gerous 11 course ofevents,without regard j to responsibility or personal consequen- | ■ ces; but that the friends of Gen. Jackson need be under no apprehension, as he ' would oppose no impediment, in the event supposed, to placing any other ! /name on the ticket.

'I here ' must indeed havelieen an extraordinary change, if the man. who, in was prepared to surrender the ccrt:iio pros • peel of elevation, rather than expose the 1 country to the present dangerous crisis, then soblhai ly foreseen by him, should now, when that crisis has arrived, seize ‘ on I lie occasion to advance llis personal ambition, at the hazard ofthe peace and 1 union ofthe country. This would indi cate a greater change than ever occur red in any individual in so short n time, ' and could such »change be believed to lie possible, it would destroy all confi dence in the integrity and patriotism of • public men. mid render character itself, though resting on the highest evidence, (•(’disinterestedness and virtue, valueless.

Though we have not had an opportunity of judging personally, of the professional skill of the gentleman mentioned by our correspondent, in the following extract ofu letter, wc have heard it highly spoken of by others, and take pleasure in laying before the public this testimony in its fa v or. 11 Athens, April 2.">lh, 1511 J.

Our advices from Europe are to the 27th of March, at which pe md, the Liverpool Cotton market was in a healthy condition,' and the ten dency of prices was upwards. We notice,in the P.'icesCurrent, that the quo tations were sjd a 7)d.; but from the sales which have come within our knowledge, we questionif there was any Upland Cotton selling for less than (XI. per lb. or much, even as low as that price. A letter dated Liverpool,' 21th Match, states, that almost any description of naw Uplands would command Td. per lb. Wol ay before our readers the following inter' ostmg letter, dated “ LIVERPOOL, 17il» March, 1*32. u Our npinim of Coiion us yet, favorable, bin we mu<l acknowledge ih »t the adVancc which has taken j>fuce since V\e bc£iimiiur of the year, has been more con siderable than we should have expected at this enrly pe riod, ?uul it becomes a matter of inquiry; whether llieen htncfcd value may md Dhiumiely inlerferu with tlie con sumption, and prevent any further increase. As yet, this bf apparent, for although (he spiuufre ooniplaiuofijo l Bsigsitsto being able to save themselves, at tlie present relative cosj , of the raw material, and the manufactured article, fetil , they go on purchasing. The effect can only be foil some - months hence. Having corresponded upon this subject with our friends on the continent, we find that they enter tain much the same doubts; in Belgium, they arc decid edly of opinion, that if the prices advanced farther, they * wduld not be able to get their market up, as it was even now, with no superabundant supply, not on a par with ours; and from Prance we are informed that the manu facturers strongly resist the advance, ob they cun siarce !y recover their money upon the manufactured article. The latest accounts from the United Slate*; strongly insist . upon a very considerable reduction in the amount of the j present, from last year’s crop. It may be so iu bales, but I the question is, will it be so in weight ? for we not on ly observe it ourselves, but find it confirmed by accounts I from Havre, that Hie bale* arc considerably heavier than | last year’s •, and we can mention, ti* a corroborating fict, that n vessel which brought us last year, 2017 bug® f rom ; Savannah, brings this lime only 1000 bags, and still brings ■ the same weight. Every 100 bags of this year’s crop, are I therefore to be accounted as 105 1-3 bags of last yean I it is besides, to be recollected, that the present crop lose* a great deal less in waste, on being worked up. Wc en ter into these particulars, as it appears that an exaggera ted idea of the deficiency of this year’s crop is gaining ground, which may lead to mischief. “ A friend of ours, in Havre, gives the following calcu lation, which we think deserves attention, with, however, some modifications. The present crop, considering the increase in weight in the bales, and the stock remaining from lust year’s, may be calculated,in bales of last year’s weight, as equal to 1,000,000 bales. Consumption of the U. S. at most 200,000 Remaining, applicable for the wants ) 000,000 bales. of Europe, > ’ Add the stock of V. H. Cotton in ) Europe, as slated iu our Circular > 183,000 hales, of 31st January, ) 1,0-3,000 bales. The consnmplionin Europe may he ex pected to fall off, against that of last year, in the opinion of our friend, if prices should further advance*, but he lakes it at the same rate as last year’s, ncctording la our circular of Jan. 31. Cl real Britain, 018,000 France, 174,000 Uesl of the Continent, 42,000—831,000 bales. There would then remain a stock, on December, 1932. of 210,000 hales. Exceeding that of 1931, by 00,000 hag?. As this state ment will appear in your market, we would just observe, that in order to make it complete, some reservation should be made for the slock, as likely to be held in the U. 5?. at 1 tlie end of the season, and which, us it will be but light, it prices should be high, we slmuld estimate at about 30,000 bags, and which would consequently reduce the above ! excels by so much.’* The Mobile Commercial Register, ofthe 271 h ult. says:—“Wo have no change to notice,either in the prices of Cotton, or in the stale of the Mar ket, since last week. The sales have been very light, and at rates lather under our quotations. Would the holders submit to a redaction of J to \ ! cent, an extensive business would bo done ; they t however manifest no disposition to recede, and tlie market of course remains inactive. The stock now on hand, for sale, is about 20,000 3 bales. Tlie receipts are 110,423 bales against 90,700 at the same period last season; making an excess 0f‘25,723 bales over the receipts of last year, Eroights —to Liverpool, have advanced i to Jd’.— To Now York and Havre, they remain 3 at last weeks quotations, J and lie. 1 New York, 2Glb April.— 1 11 The sales of the week have been between 4,000 and ;>,OOO Bales, i at very steady prices—Uplands, lOalljc—New 5 Orleans, 11 a Uljc—Alabama, ilo —auid llorida fO.j a 11c. per lb.” The Charleston Courier of the Hi d inst. says:— “ Tims far tins week, tlie sales of UplUnd Gallon were only to a modeiale extent; they were, however, at the lull rates of last week.

VAN IUTIEN AND TUB TARIFF. * In the present contest of-the State, and the s South, against the TarilV, wc know of nothing 1 more ill-judged, and prejudicial to its success, or that we have witnessed with more pungent mor -1 tifisation, than lire pa. ty meetings gotten up, and ' getting up, in various parts of the State, to ap * plaud Mr. Van Buren, and promote his pre * tensions to the Vice Presidency. Do these cn * gaged iit those strange proceedings, not know, ’ that Mi. Van Buren is « thorough going Tarifl' man ' —that lie voted for the Tariff of IS2B, in shameless disregard of solemn pledges to the contrary —that his immediate adherents and sup. , porters are Tariff men?—and that the amend ment of Mr. II tyne, in the Senate, to Mr. C av's infamous Tariff resolution, wits defeated, and the resolution sustained, by tke vote of the two N. York Senators; who, by voting differently, would liav'e changed the result? And, do they (the politicians of this State - who are promoting the views of Mr. V-. P..’ ) not see the consequen ces of auch a course, to the great interests ofthe Slate; and the dtsgrnce tlrat must fall upon the Anti-Tin iff cause, lion) thus decrying the Tariff, and at the same time,-supporting its decider! f. tends and advocates, and particularly the one, of ait others, who probably did more, by his great influence, and peculiar situation, to fix upon us its tyranny and oppression, limn any other indi vidual in the Union? Will not our tarifl'oppo. ueirts laugh at our opposition to the Tariff, and treat it with scorn and"contempt, and the hon est portion of them believe it to be a mere elec tioneering trick, and our assertions of its evils all false and unfounded, while, we thus madly about Ail-hail! to the very men tvhohavc e»/yic , ♦ ed it on us, and even go so far aa to get up public meetings in their behalf!!! Such a course is ab solutely monstrous, and stinks, most offensively, in the nose of every thing like decency, consis tency, or propriety!—lt is high time for us to give up this continual headlong contest for men , regardless of principle, and, if we hope to suc ceed, to look to principles alone, as the object, and to men,merely as the means. To be respect ed , we must ho honest and consistent. —To ob tain the justice ofothers, we must be just to our selves—And to obtain success, we must first de serve it. V. S. BANK, The following letter was set in typo for last No. but omitted for want of roflni. Wo lay it before the public, because the writer hints, in a private note, his desire that we should do so, “it wo judge it of sufficient interest to publish;” and, without undertaking to judge of that mat ter at all. since there is no particular causo for ■ it, we willingly comply with his wishes, particu larly as its object is to call in question our opin ions, which we desire always to be subjected to the closest scrutiny, as the best means of testing their accuracy, correcting their errors, and pre venting them from misleading our readers—hav ing no regard for any opinion beyond a convic tion that it is correct, nor inclination to retain it a moment after it is shown to be otherwise; and we therefore owe it to justice and honesty, to be less critical of what wc should or should not pub lish, when the object of the matter oflered, is to question and examine our opinions. And, inas much as the complimentary expressions contain ed in the fust paragraph, are unnecessary to the subject, and the mailer oT which they speak mav well he left by both of us, to the silent judg ment of the public, wo suggest, as the style ap pears somewhat habitual to him,' the propriety ol abstaining fiom it, lest the public should suspect it was designed to purchase publication, and that we were weak enough to yield to sucli an influ ence, rather than to a sense of duty, or of the in trinsic merit, or other claims,of the article itself. If it be “100 bad” that we should have become “so rank a nullilier,” it would have been belter to shew that it is so, than to say so, since that argues nothing against it, beyond what may be set down to sheer prejudice, or ignorance of its nature. And, as to the time when we became so, lie is wrong, and, as a reader of our paper, it would seem wilfully so, since wa have shewn that wo entertained and expressed the same opinions long before our “Charleston trip.” In ([noting the opinionsof Mr. Jefferson, wc never intimated, in the slightest degree, that i they wore infallible, or to be taken for granted, • because lie had expressed them, or that they t wore entitled to any thing beyond a careful and 1 respectful consideration; yet, there are few I men, if any, in whose integrity, ability, or “sin l eerily,” we have greater confidence, or which i ate more strongly attested by a whole life; andi to impeach his sincerity by the quotation from bis letter to the elder Adams, is as absurd as to say , that a man cannot be personally friendly to any ’ one from whose political opinions he differs. In i the expression adduced—“ We have botli been fiends for thesfc forty years”—Mr. J. doubtless ■ alluded to thei. personal friendship, only; fur to i have intimated that they had been friends polit , ically , during all that time, after the well-known ‘ [rolilical differences and Struggles between them, ' would have been a most ridiculous, gratuitous, ; useless, and self-evident violation of truth and i decency, and condemnation of Ids own political • career. And, to suppose, after his powerful and : unanswerable arguments against the Dank, that i lie would have sided with it, if Hamilton had J sided against it; or that Mr. Madison could have i altered his opinions on that subject, without refut • ing them (which, while on the other hand he has • approved and advocated them, in Ids celebrated and powerfui'speech against the Dank, is wholly , beyond his power,) is altogether absurd, end ; next to an impossibility, i For our own part, we never consider that vve ! are, or any one else is, improperly “ treading on i hallowed ground” (when searching after truth) in examining the opinions of any one, no mailer who. And while we should “read - with inter, est, "any statement which John Randolph might leave behind him, of Thomas Jefferson’s char acter, wo should consider it, as we would a statement ofMr. Jefferson's, or any other man’s, with reference to the statement itself, ami not to the character of'lho writer, though that, when , high, and of long and well-deserved influence, would command respect, attention, and invest! r gi tion, though not blind acquiescence. Ami Ibis j is all that we claim for thVopiiliorA of Sir. Jes . ferson—not that they are necessarily correct, 5 because his; hut that his great intelligence, ex perience, investigation, and general correctness, entitle them to respect and consideration, and to a fair examination, ere they are condemned, i If George Clinton pave the casting vote a ; gainst lire renewal of the charter of the first r Dank, from life belief alleged by Mr. Crawford, ■ he was “properly disappointed;” but we do I not believo this,’’on the bare opinion of Mr. • Crawford, nnsustained by evidence. ’ We are really surprised that any reasonable • man should attach credit to Mr. Madison's “re , cantation of sentiment,” in relation to the Bank, }' considering the stranger pi inciplcs upon which n i is founded—viz ; as worecollect it, nut that he , lias changed his opinions; as formeily expressed against it, in his able and powerful speech, and which induced him,while President oflhe U.S., i to rs to the bill to chartci it, hut that it has since been chartered by Congress, and boeorae incor i porated witli the policy of the country)and a po litical precedent for the future government-of ■ Congress and tbo country!—giving the same character and force to political, as legal prece dents! Can more absurd or futile reasoning (if reasoning it can be called) possibly he-conceiv ed! Whall Does that become right, from being done, winch* it was wrong- to do" Is a law constitutional and expedient (Mr. M. oppos ed the constitutionality and expediency of the bill to charter the Bank) because it is passed, which it was both unconstitutional and dienl to pass? If so, then the Tariff law is eon slitut-iomd and expedient, and so were '.he alien and sedition Uws; and every law, however wrong to enact it, is right, after it is enacted. And upon this principle, if it were correct, one might justify robbery, murder, or anything else, after it is done, however we may decry it be fore. And yet, this is the principle on which Mr. Madison’s “honest and praiseworthy rcc . H tatio'h of sentiment” is founded— and it i s te ' n ’ H* od “generous and veracious,” too 1 Yes v c B generous, truly, thus to yield up th e B the people to the usurpers »f them, merely l, B cause they have usurped them 1 This “pras, B worthy recantation” was published byua, wl ltc I it first reached us, and we have not time now i, I look thro’ the files for it, or we would present i- B herewith ; hut, since our correspondent desirej I it, and it is Worthy of further consideration, asa I most valuable lesson and warning to the people I against too great confidence in names or men I (shewing to what strange weaknesses, great and I good men may descend) we will look for it, an d I republish it, at some early period. \V e shall II never forget the impression it made upon us V wiien we read it; for we certainly never witness- I ed any weakness and self humiliation of a great I man, with equal astonishment. When we look I upon this “recantation” of his Bank veto and I most splendid speech on lire Bank, and that of I Nullification, as contained in his celebrated Vi- I giuia Report—the three greatest and most da- I tinguisbed acts of his life—it seems as though I nothing less than some mad fatuity could hare I prompted him thus to pull down, when too late I to erect another, the splendid and beautiful fab ric of his fame. We are of opinion—since it was publicly sta- ■ tod, and very generally circulated, without de nial—that the report of Mr. Ciawford’s "chan»e of sentiment” on the subject of the Dank, was correct; and, since it is not his only important change of sentiment, even since he was “thirty years of age," we think it not altogether impoi. siblo that he may change, and change again, be fore the Pillars of Hercules unsettle fiom their moorings”—tire incredulity of our correspondent to the contrary, notwithstanding. Pensacola. 21st. April, 1332. To A, H. Pemberton, Esq. Dear Sir;—l was only in possession of the No. 31st March of your paper,a few hours, when, by loaning i; to Mr. Fields Kennedy (fomittly of the United States Hotel in your city, and who is now here, nearly at the last gasp of life, with Consumption,) and he,in turn, to do another kind act, loaned it to another; so that these kaid loans have resulted, in my losing this No, of the Augusta Chronicle, altogether. Ordinarily, it would not he a matter of sullicieiil moment to notice, although 1 file this paper, and shall con tinue to do so, as well because I like to look up on it and read it, on account of the antiquity of its existence, (it was the li st newspaper I saw and read, it being the first my father subscribed for, forty odd years ago) and because although your politics and mine are, in lire aggregate, dis similar, yol 1 like to road your productions, on account of their independency of sentiment, ami the vigour of style in which you clotlto and [in’, thorn forth. I will add, I like them still more or. account (whether right or wrong) of your pub fishing them, because you buliovo tjiom to con i tain lire truth, tire whole truth, and nothing but lire truth. Whilst 1 accord so much to you, ir. act of just lioniugo to the integrity of your edito rial character, 1 must be allowed to add, in coin i inundation of my political boliofs,as coiitradisiln i guished to yiwrs, that dt was bad enough for i you to ho so far gone in error, us to be sucli a bitter enemy to the renewal of tire Charter of flit Dank of lire United Slates, but now, aslicr coive of late, since your return from your Cha ies ton trip, to become, as you have, so rank a Nul lifier, is indeed too bad; As egress for your sentiments, and llicir ac cmacy- on' these two' subjects, you display at large, in your publications, tire opinions of that idol of popular applause, Thomas Jefferson. - Ah, sir, great as was this man; for, in pads, it may era, hut ically be asked, who was a grenfe ! i yet, as if to shew that at last he was but a flail man, is there tint left behind, enough of evidence to cause the record of the verdict of tire impar tial historian, against bis uniform sincerity ! Upon the conflict of sentiment, in Washing ton's Cabinet, on lire measure of chartering li-a first Dank of the United Hiatus, no evidence 1 admit,can be traced, u, on which to found a cer tain belief that, if llamiltoa had taken sides against lire Dank, Jefferson would have sided : with it—yet, enough of the equivocal listens upon Jefferson’s character, in that love letter to i the elder Adams, wherein lie takes occasion la say (it was after they hud both retired finally' , from all public employ) “wc have both, been friends for these forty years.” Ilnougl 1 1 say, is contained in this single expression,to aulhorize the belief that, it was not asserted in sincerity. Dul I am treading on hallowed ground, and must slop—not being able, however, to deny thyself the expression of lire wished for occur rence of one thing regarding lire ch aracter of JWTerson—namely; That if John R jndol, h of Roanoke, will leave his account and statement in full behind him, of Thomas Jcffe/son’s char acter, it will be read with intere.ql, both here and in liurope. Recurring, again, to the subj ect of re <diar i tering the Bank of the United States, I l ave hoard Mr. Crawford say, that h,e had no done' when George Clinton gave the/ casting vote as ; lire President of the Senate, in ISlO’l L, against the renewal oflhe Chatter of thu first Hank, Its believed that that vuto would make him Pies'. . dent of the U. States. Was h*. not [Tope;!; disappointed! In -connection with the merits of the question of renewing the Chapter of ths present Dank. Mr. Mudiaim s honest and praiseworthy recan tation of scntimei.it thereupon, lias been made' tire subject of many strongly marked publica tions, all over the Union, both in commendation and condemnation, according to the sides taken by lire Writers. It [ g curious enough' to read that, among llrp points attempted to be made to bear against IVI r , Madison on tins occasion, are such extravagant ones, as, that since Mr. Jeffcr sons s dotijh, who kept him straight during Ids lifl», he has strayed from the tiue faith ; and that Prom old age, and a profuse use of Brandy, his thinking faculties have given out. I just want you to publish this generous, lIl!i veracious account of one of the most exalted men in public and in private life, which this ta any other country has produced. < One wh-» wa* (inownlo possess so much of Jefferson’s c«m! dcnce, that he was ever his privy counsellor much more apt to change Jefferson’s ser.t’jte'' than he his—so much so, that \vern Jr r ,ls ’ now living, it is not extravagant t«'«e' - -. ’ 3 ° n would bo for renewing the charter - '■*!'■
