A correspondent of the Athens Banner warm ly recommends Mr, Gilmeu as a candidate for Governor, on the part of the Union party, and the editors of that paper approve the nomination, and say he would receive the enthusiastic support of that party if he would consent to run. THEATRICAL. We had not an opportunity of witnessing the performance on Monday evening, in which Mr. and Miss Cooper and Mr. Forbes played to gether in the tragedy of Othello— Miss Cooper - as Desdemona, Mr, Cooper as logo, and Mr, Forbeses Othello— but understand it was very excellent, and afforded great satisfaction —and was attended by a large and fashionable audience, not withstanding the severity of the weather. The, same distinguished trio will play together again this evening,in the tragedy of Damon and Pythias, and a most excellent theatrical treat may conse quently bo expected. THE WEATHER, On Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning, was the coldest probably ever experien ced in this place. On Saturday evening the fe mercury was down to zero, and on Sunday morn- I ig, two degrees below it—some say four, in other places. The river has been nearly covered with floating ice, and had it been low, would probably V have been frozen over. The laguncs and ditches around the city arc all thickly frozen over ; and the water in pitchers and basins was frozen to a solid mass on Friday, Saturday, A Sunday nights, even in rooms where there was fire all night. On Monday afternoon it moderated considerably, and was much milder yesterday. —We understand there has been a heavy full of snow, to the depth of five or six inches, about 60 or 70 miles to the North-west,; and the very high wind, during the extreme cold, cam* from that quarter. ME7CIIW fc PLANT’S’ BANK CASE 'Ti e Counsel for the Bank (says the Courier of Monday,) moved for a new trial on Saturday morning, on fourteen grounds. The Court, on motion of the defendants, which was resisted by the Slate, ordered the grounds to be filed, and to operate as a supersedeas, till a decision on the motion for a new trial. The case is t* be argued by hi iff, on or before the first of May, and it is expected that the opinion of the Court will be pronounced at the Jun* Term.—The following is the judgment of the Court, which is superseded / by the motion for a new trial, till that motion is decided: “I( is considered by the Court here, that the liberties, privileges, and franchise*; to wit: that of being a body politic and corporate by the name and style of the Merchants and Planters Bank heretofore used, enjoyed and exercised by th* de fendant, hr seized into the hands of the Stale, and that the said defendant do not, in any maimer hereafter, intermeddle, use, have, enjoy, fir exor cise any of the liberties, privileges or franchises of a body politic or corporate; but that tha said dc endant be absolutely forejudged and excluded from holding, using or exercising any of the liber ties of a body corporate or politic, and that the State recover its costs, to be taxed, Ac.” JUDGE CLAYTON’S WITHDRAWAL. We earnestly entreat our Stale Rights friends not to consider Judge Clattor’s recent letter as his final determination. Wc arc satisfied that ill penning it, he acted hastily, anil under an acuto sense of injury, and injustice to his feelings, & that ho will not hesitate to yield to the wishes of those with whom his political interests, principles, and feelings, are all associated. Wc would stake our life on it. Wc know his devotion to them and their course, and that he will always be mady, at their call, to surrender all personal considcsßtions to their wishes He is sensitive, very; and, consci ous of his ardent, disinterested devotion to the public good, cannot brook to be charged with hav ing injured, by his political course, in relation to nullification, the party and cause with which he is connected. We feel warranted in saying, that it was under such charges, and insinuations that he stood in the way of men more likely to suc ceed, that he wrote the letter lately published; and as he will never consent to bear the odious and unjust charge of placing Ids own interests or wishes in the way of his principles or Ids party, so he will never shrink from any responsibility, any risk, or any sacrifice, which those who agree with him may think calculated to advance the great common cause so dear to his heart. Wc ate satisfied that he has taken no part whatever, in the bringing of Ids name before the public for a nomination as candidate for Governor—nay, wc have the Iwst reasons for the belief, that he would have decidedly preferred from the first, so far as his own inclinations arc concerned, to re tire to private life. There arc those, however, of his principles, who cannot consent to this—who, remembering his early and ardent devotion to their cause, and that he staked every thing in its behalf, in its hour of greatest peril, look up to him as its best champion, and with hearts over flowing with the deepest gratitude for his heroic devotion to them and their honor and safely, will still rally round him, now, ns they did then, as their sttongest hope, and best security. He did not, could not, look to popular favor for his re ward, when he first came out, openly, boldly, and as a public man, singly, in behalf of the true doc trines of State Rights, and their lew persecuted followers; and can those persecuted followers, feeling how much, how vciy much they owe to him, now permit him to be assailed with the charge of having injured the very cause which owes to him, here, almost its vciy existence ! When he was their only, solitary hope—when they all clung round him as such hope, and ap pealed to him to he their candidate, when defeat’ overwhelming defeat was certain —did he shrink from the responsibility I Did he no t tell them to act prudently, wisely, and reflcctingly, with an eye solely to the welfare of their principles and the State, and that if they did so, he would obey their call, be it for weal or for woe, and was ready to sink or swim with them in such a onse I Do they not owe the very existence of their cause to his heroic, disinterested, patriotic devotion to them, in that trying hour 1 And will they now suffer him to be thrust aside, yea, driven from the contest, with the insulting taunt that he has been the overthrow of the party, by introducing in. to it new principles —the principles of nullifica tion No, they mil not And if thi* be done, mark it! as they would have rallied around him then, to save their principles, so will they do now | The attack on him, is an attack on their princi ples, and to y icid to it, would be to yield their principles. But, how did he cause the overthrow of the party, by his course in relation to nullification! and what party do they mean I If they mean the present “ State Rights party,” do they not know that it was formed long since he advocated nullification, and that he himself drew up and moved the preamble and resolutions which it adopted, as setting forth the principles by which it would be governed I Are not the doctrines, and name also, of nullification, therein avowed and were they not deliberately considered and adopted t Why, then, this charge against him • now I Why not make it then, and reject the ' principles, if they did not mean to sustain them ? i Wc apprehend, however, that they moan the ' Troup party. Well, how did he overthrow that, 1 by introducing into it new principles! Will 1 any one dare declare that the principles of nulli -1 ficalion are not those of Troup, and the Troup . party, under anew name, given to them by their 1 opponents! And pray who did more to sustain 1 Gov. Troup, in the contest of ’25, 6, and 7, than 1 Judge Claxton ! Who does not remember his 1 indefatigable exertions at that time—his power ! ful political essays, and his speeches and private 5 letters—the avidity with which they were read and circulated by the Troup party and the im mense influence they had on public opinion! r Wc were then an opponent of Gov. Troup and 1 Judge Clayton—the great light of the true faith i had not then broken upon our mental vision— -1 and wc well recollect, that Judge C. was looked a upon by those with whom wc then acted, as one B of their very ablest and most powerful opponents. 1 Will any one pretend to say that Iris present s principles have varied at all from those he then c advocated, except in the name, which has licen s given to them by their opponents, as one of re proach! And is not then his only real fault is in the eyes of those who by their artful taunt have aroused his pride and feeling, and driven bin * from the field, this: that he was true, both to hi rt principles and party, while others were not sr I® and dared to advocate the former, under all th *, popular odium of their new name, while other " | abandoned them, under the fear that they and all 1 I their advocates would inevitably be sacrificed to a r | violent and misguided popular feeling, and ren • drill’d forever infamous, I That party destroyed - itself, by abandoning its | principles. Had it adhered to thorn, baldly and | manfully, as he did, it would have sustained both ■ thorn and itself. If any one doubts this, let him ‘ glance his eye over tile State; and when he marks that tire State Rights party is triumphal, in all those counties wherein the Troup party adopted the | word nullification, and defeated,in all those where -1 in it did not, surely he can doubt it no longer -1 Does he not find the State Rights parly in the 1 majority, wherever it has hoisted the nullification 1 banner, and in the minority, wherever it has not ! Does he not sec success, wherever the Troup men are open mtllifiers, and dafout, wherever they are not, whether as “ Troup Unioiijmcn,” or “State Rights men, hut no millificrs”! Look, for in stance. at Burke, Striven, Jefferson, Columbia, Putnam, Greene, Troup, Ac. Ac., and compare them with Chatham, Warren, Hancock, Jasper, Jones, Baldwin, Ac. Ac. At least 5000 Clark men were among the first to espouse the name; and wherever the Troup men did so, they joined them iteart and hand; but who** they did not, they of course refused, as every principle of honor dictated, to support their candidates. There were at first, more nullification dissenters from the Clark, party, than Union dissenters from the Troup par ty; and if that party had nominated an open nnlli fier at the start, and thus nobly and zealously sustained its principles, it would inevitably Imvc succeeded in the first contest. In those counties where the State Rights party have openly advo cated nullification, it lias been continually gaining converts among the old Clark men—as in Scrivem Columbia, Wilkes, Lincoln, Ac. Ac. —while in those where it has not, many of those Clark men who were nullifiers at the start, have receded to the Union party, disgusted with the mystifica tions, evasions, and trickeries, of the anti-nu llifi cation State Rights men. If you expostulate with lies* rcccdcrs, they will tell you that they do not care a fig for either party, on principle, since neithe r ’ will sustain the true Stale Rights doctrines, hut as their new friends are as much opposed to the true Slate Rights doctrines as their old ones, and much more dishonestly so, they could see no rea son for preferring them; and so far as persona' ' feelings were concerned, they preferred their old friends. They had no idea of quilling on* party opposed to nullification\to support another equally opposed to it. j Wc could give many *thor facts of similar im port, and probably shall do hereafter,' as our leisure I permits ; but surely these are enough to shew any candid man, that instead of Judge Clayton’s over ’ throwing the Troup party, it overthrew itself, by the abandonment of its principles ; tlmt instead of | his introducing new principles into it, the very men did this who now make the charge upon him; and that he has been true to his principles, under ' all the changes of names and parties, while they have not. A careful review of the past and present, must i satisfy any one who makes it, that the Stale Rights , i party owes all its successes, throughout the State, | 1 to its advocacy of nullification —all its defeats, to : , its opposition to or evasion of it—and that it never : , can wholly succeed, till it harmonizes throughout, j , in its objects and principles, and unites, freely, ful , ly, and openly, in behalf of the principles and i name of nullification. For our own part, wc hav c ' no disguises, and will have none. We wish to I lie understood by all, whether friends or oppo , nents; and having no secret or sinister motives o r objects, will countenance none. Wc are a NUL LIFIER, and glory in the name, not bceaase of the name itself, but because it is identified with | our principles, and now best expresses them. Wo quitted the party with which we had been con ’ ncctcd for years, and which was endeared to us by ' many tics, because wc could no longer honestly I agree with it in principle—because wc wcie in favor of nullification, and it opposed to it. Wc 1 still remember with deep gratitude, the general for ( bcarancc manifested toward us by that party, im- j der all the circumstances of our withdrawal from I it all the inducements to impugn our honesty I and consistency—and that it has never once done either —the kind and friendly manner in which many of its members leborsd to convince us of what they honestly believed our errors and dclu ’ sions—and the strong personal respect and regard , j they havc since manifested toward us—and wc> | j still believe that the great mass of it, apart from its leaders (particularly those called Troup Union 1 , men) arc honest and sincere in their political nith.but ignorant, prejudiced, blinded A deluded’ as wc were, when We acted with them. Behaving j and remembering all this, then, and much more j that made our parting from them one of pain and trial, we should be a false catiffin our own cstirna ' lion, as well os theirs, if, after quitting them, be , cause they were not nullifiers, wo could aid or advocate any others who are not nullifiers. Wo 4 bear personal enmity to no one—personally, all men arc alike to us, according to our opinions of s their personal worth—but wc cannot supi»rt any J man, politically no matter what may be our per - sonal regard for him, who docs not agree with us ! in principle. Is there any man who would ask j us to do so !We trust not Is there any one, !i who, if wc did so, would value us in any other - light titan as a party tool, or trust us one inch f.ir d titer than he could arc us I He would be a fool e if he did. s. Satisfied, then, as wo arc, that it is the inten- It tion of tile anti-nullifiers of the State Rights n party to pres* upon the Convention the nominn n tion of an anli-nullifier, as a candidate for Gover -- nor, and that they havc labored to proscribe a It nullifier, and drive him from the contest, we foci I ts it our duty to say, despising, as wc do all conccal m meats, that wc cannot support any nominee, no ,i, matter what may be his personal worth, or our io, personal respect for him, who is not an open and be avowed advocate of our principles. Wc mean •rs no dictation— wc would scorn to two it, as much ■ ns to submit to it—but, a* we would not ask oth ers to yield their principles to us, to we cannot yield ours to any othars. | Let those who agree with us in this matter, | | look to it at otico, or they will again bo thrust be tween two stools. l CHA RLEBTON It .UE i.

THEATRICAL. .Mr. Editor :—I was very ngwcably disappoint ed on Monday evening, "when I entered tho Thea tre, to find so full and fashionable a bouse; hut who could resist the temptation, when such a combination of talent was offered! If overtoil Theatre deserved patronage, it is now; as it is in nil probability, tha last time tb* citizens of Augusta will havc tho gratification of witnessing the performance of sueh an actor a* Mr. Cohpeii. “Wo ne’er shall look upon his like again.” His la go was well worthy of Iris yonngdays, and was certainly the best performance of the part, I evar witnessed. Miss Cooper's Desdemona also, was very excellent. Mr, Forbes’ personation of the Afable Jlfoor, won new laurels for that gentleman Who is, deservedly, n groat Mvorito with tho cili- I zens of Augusta; and I hope, should he tike a nother Benefit before he leaves us, wc will have full proof of their esteem for him. Mr*. Lyons’ Emilia was well pleyed. She is a very fine actress. I would advise th* Managers to cast tho pieces according to the strength of the Com pany. The idea of Mr. Carter |ierforming the part of Jlrahantio, is ridiculous. He should ne. ver attempt to speak one line of blank verse. Let him play comicold men. Mr.Hariit should have played Jtrahantio, and Mr. Lyons, Cassis- Mr. Carter could have epoken Oratiano. He played very well in tho farce. DAMON. SUMMARY. Wc arc sorry to learn, that Mr. Seaborn Jones, KeprcsciiUitive from Georgia, has been se riously indisposed for some days past. His health is, however, improving, and it is hoped lie will lie aide soon to reoceupy his scat in the House. — .Vat Intelligencer, 3d inst. Geo.

United States, 3389 from tho West Indies, Ar, and 3384 from tho Mediterranean—wltn a de crease from the Brnzilsof 59647, mid from the East Indies of 5000, showing an aggregate in crease in the total supply this year, of 20,819 halos as compared with that of 1833. It will also ho seen Unit our present stock is ; 29,584 bales less than at the close of last year, lin ing 185,563 halos against 215,137 at that period. The Export has been 86,800 bales, against 67, 800 last year, being an increase of 19,001) hales. Tho outgoings for consumption amount to 893,- 808 bales, against 892,397 in 1833, making an increase of only 1511 hales; it is proper, howev er, to remark, that in December, 1833 dealers and consumers took from this port alone 105,000 halos, but this month they hove only taken 30,- 000 notwithstanding the monthly consumption is 70,000 bales; and it is believed they now hold upwards of 40,000 halos less than at’ the end of! last year. The Import ofSoa Islands into tho kingdom during tha year just ended, amounts to 22,200 bags, against 33,000 in 1833. This short sup ply, with tho deficiency in the Import from Brazil and Egypt, has caused a great reduction in the Stock* of all long stapled Cottoii, as well as a proportionate advance in prices. Son Islands, being now 19u. a 30d. against 1 Id. a 2ld. on tho 31st December, 1833, but tho advanced price has materially diminished tho consump tion. Throughout the year there has been in demand, which has rnabbsl Spinners and Manufacturers to dispose of their Yarn* *g)d Goods us fast as pro duced, also to increase their prices more rapidly than lire advance on the Raw Material; conse quently their business lias been, and still contin ues to be extremely profitable. Th* power of production has been materially increased during the last twelve months, and it is obvious that, at no former period have there licco greater preparations, (by the building of Mills ami erecting of Machinery) to extend the consumption, titan are now in progress. With respect to supplies, wo arc led to expect some increase of Import from the United blates tin: ensuing year, but a considerable iiietpase (pro bably 60,000 bales or more from Brazil A Egypt, and about the same from the East and West In dies as the present year.
