able periodical to share the fate of all its pre

■South! (for generous you certainly are, thougl
alas ! too indifferent to your general character am
interests, and careless of the means of proirolini
and elevating them)—tltrii your attention and re
gard to this useful periodical, ond not only exp-d
to it your palroangc, but furbish it with sr*W*
t i articles for publication, and all informatio' "'■din
if j our knowledge, that may relate in any •ay.direct
■ly or indirectly, to the great 4gricu ,dra * interest
*' to which it is devoted. Gentleiort °f literary ac- ,
■ ([iiirements should bear in min'-'to collect together'
B facts and information on agricultural subjects,
4 whenever an opportunity offers, and devote a Ici
[ sure hour or two occasiahally, say once each
| month, to writing them out, and communicating
them lothe work; and our plain planters who have
d not sufficient practice and confidence in their use of
the pen, to place theirown productions before the
public, should communicate to the editor, in their
town plain way, the facts they may possess or
meet with, and the theories and suggestions which
may strike their minds, and request him to publish
them as editorial. He would always be grateful
* for such attentions ; and in this way the value of
the work might be greatly improved, and the gen
gful information and ability* of the editor conttnu
ally increased; and each contributor would bo
imply compensated for the occasional time and
t trouble of his Own contributions, by the valuable
Information he would be enabled to glean from
those of others. There is scarcely any fact, thco
ry, or suggestion, so simple, but what, thus com
municated to the editor, and added to his general
stock, would strengthen, improve, or correct his
general knowledge, and might be used, at some
time or other, to great public advantage. It often
* mappens, that facts or suggestions, on any sub
■ jeet, wholly useless of themselves, when com
mt bined with others, develops the most important
. and valuable results; and were our planters to ac
custom themselves to cummunicatc facts and sug
gestions to flic editor, and thus afford him an op
, portmitty to comlnnc, arrange, compare, &analize
' n tbffir canimpu stoefc, they would place it in his
j power to present them with a work which would
be of inestlmslble and incalculable benefit, both to
themselves and tlieir country. Let them set about
' it, then, immediately, persevere in it assiduously,
a, and not weary iu well doing; and we’ll vouch for
j- the editor, that he’ll do his part, and never fail to
; work up to the very best advantage, all the raw
material they may ph&flSl his hands.
JUDGE WHITK’B SPEECH.
The advoeatoa of Judge White are striving to
bolster up his cause by his recent speech in favor
of Mr. Calhoun’s bill to limit Executive patronage;
and that speech was no doubt made - with a view
to afford them all opportunity of so doing; for,
when did wc hear from him one syllable in dis
sent from his Jackson coadjutors, no matter how
I great their enormities, till he plainly saw his own
interest in it; and when could he have found
a better excuse for differing from them, and at the
same time setting- “ springes to catch wood
cocks,” than in the instance in question 1 When
laboring against Executive patronage in 1820, in
common with Gen. Jackson, Col. Benton, &c-
Ac. as one of the popular means of advancing
t»cn, Jackson, ho (lieu voted for Col. Benton’s
report against Executive patronage; and this is
his declared excuse for now differing from his
party; and it is certainly a very good one—a very
plausible and catching one; hut, who ever heard
him utter one syllabic against those abuses of Ex
ecutive patronage under his friend Jackson, which
arc ten-fold greater than those of Mr. Adams,
which he contended against in 1820, till he saw
his interest in it, and that it might now be most
cunningly and advantageously used to advance
his own elevation, as it had hcon to advance that
of Gen. Jackson 1 Yet, even iu this, he still
clings to Jackson, and praises and excuses the
author of the very abuses he opposes, lest perad
venture, in tickling his new Anti-Jucksou friends,
he should offend his old Jackson ones. His ob
ject, therefore, is evidently “to hold with the hare,
(Gen. Jackson,) and run with the hounds,” (the
Anti-Jackson men.) Mark what the Anti-Jaek
son, and of course White, correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, says of his language on that
occasion, alter describing his patriotic flourish
about his consistency and standing upon his prin
ciples, now, as in 1826, without regard to men;
“ He spoke with a good deal of animation as to
“ the course pursued by Gen. Jackson, admitting
that his administration had not fulfilled alt the ex
pectations which had been cherished by the people,
hut that the blame was to be attributed entirely to
Congress, without whose concurrence and co
operation, he could not touch a dollar in the Trea.
■sury, or make any effectual progress in the work
of reform. He attributed the fact of a majority
being opposed to General Jackson’s measures, to
the circumstance that every member who came
into Congress under the Jackson flag, very soon
set up a flag of his own, and thus broke the cfli
cicnby of the party."
“ Had not fulfilled ah the expectations of the
people!” Indeed! A most impartial, indepen
dent, bold, and correct admission, truly! What
a pity he did not attempt to point out some one
expectation that it had fulfilled !
“ The blame was to be attributed to Congress”
' —flh, yes, to any body but Gen. Jackson, for
“ the King can do no wrong.”
“ He could not touch a dollar in the Treasu
ry ! ! or make any effectual progress in the work
of reform!! without the concurrence of Con
\ gross!!” Ha, ha, ha! a good joke truly! Could
not touch a dollar in the Treasury ! Pray, then,
how did he lake the contents ail out, without the
concurrence of Congress, and put it in places sole
ly of his own choosing, and, except with his con
currence, wholly beyond their control ! As to
his “ progress in the work of reform ,” where has
it ever exhibited itself, or where has it ever been
stayed by Congress I What President had ever
such immense power, cither for good or evil 1 and
what other one ever abused it so grossly !
“ Could not make any effectual progress in the
work of reform, without the concurrence of Con.
gress !” Where has Congress interfered with
his will, but to check his outrages and abuses 1—
“ Could not touch a dollar in the Treasury, with
out the concurrence of Congress !” How, then,
did uk pay the National Debt, or docs ho de
serve credit for the payment of it! Or does Judge
White really believe, contrary to his servile and
deceptive speech of the Blh, that Gen. Jackson did
not pay off the National debt, and that
did? ■ ’
Is Judge White’s simpleton or a knave! Did he
believe what he said, or did he not! If he believed
it, is he not plainly a simpleton! and, if ho did
not, a knave! Wc leave * his friends to decide.
“ Every memoer who came ihto Congress unde’
the Jackson flag, vary soon sot up a flag 6: hia own,
and thus broke the efficiency of the party.’ It
this true, with a very few exceptions ’ Whit par
o- ty cv.-r cb*<? t0 ° e ther,and to its leaders, like the
1C Jacksotv ,art y • AnJ > w wllich of tlu>so CXU< ’l > '

wse himself! Has not he “set up a flag of his
)(f ~n, n and the ode of all others believed by his
new friends best calculated to “break the efficien
-11 cy of the party !"
■ 1 This speech is precisely of a piece with his
i i canting, whining, servile, hypocritical, and kna
. I vish Kitcheh Cabinet speech of the Bth January ;
;; and if it lie nOt sufficient, with that, to worn his
j new friends of the dangor of trusting him, then

AUGUSTA RACES.
'Wednesday's Race—3 mile heats, Purse S3OO.
Four horses were entered, viz: Mr. Most
mo lux’s Molly Long, Mr. Fowl's Brunette.
, Mr. Harrlsox’s Mist Medley, and Mr. Hacn’s
tVade Hampton. The first heat was well con
tested by Mias Medley and Molly Long, the for
mer came in ahead about two lengths. The sc.
tend heat was a very handsome rai*c between
Miss Medley and Wade Hampton, and created
much interest; at the end of the last round they
, came in so nigh lock and lock, the Judges with
mueh difficulty decided the race in favor of Miss
Medley,—Molly Long distanced. Time, first
heat. Gin. 30}». ; third round 2m. 35.; 2d heat,
sirt. 58s.—third round, Itn. 595. The turf was
heavy and is forty yards over* a mile.— Const.
Thursday’s Race —4 mile heats, Purse S6OO.
This day’s racing was as handsome as any that
ever took place over the Lafayette course. Three
horses started for the purse, viz: Maria Annette,
Patsey Wallace, & Rattle Snake. At the start,
Maria Annette took the lead, (followed closely by
Patsey Wallace—Rattle Snake in the rear) which
she kept for the first three rounds: on the fourth
she was passed by Patsey Wallace and* Rattle
Snake, and the first heat was taken by Patsey
Wallace. The second heat was contended for by
Patsey Wallace and Rattle Snake—Maria An
nette being d rawn. Patsey Wallace took the lead
and kept it for the two first rounds, when she was
passed by Rattle Snake, who came in about two
lengths ahead, at the end of the second heat. Rat
tle Snake now became the favorite nag, and bets of
two and three to one in her favor were offered.
At the tap of the drum, both horses started—Rattle
Snake leading. It was hard to decide which horse
would win the race during the first three heats,
as there was not at any time more than two
lengths between them ; but Rattle Snake was not
to be beaten, she kept her distance and name in
about two lengths ahead. Time ; Ist heat,'Bm,

Mr. Benton—the Assassination Report.— We
observe that Mr. Benton did not vole on the reso
lutions introduced by the committee. Ho reclined
under the gallery, to avoid giving an expression of
his opinion. Whether he sherked the question
from mortification <tt the failure of the plot, or
w hether he disapproved of the resolutions, and yet
had not the spirit to sky so, or Whether he thought
that character in a Senator was a thing of too little
-mportanec to be worthy the attention of the Senate,
or whether all those motives were combined, we
know not. Perhaps all these Causes concurred
to make the honorable senator retire under the
| gallery.— Li. S. Tel.
Mr. Pearce says, that he understood from the
President “ that he had metre of such evidence.”
(Stewart’s and Foy’s.) What has become of it!
Can the Globe tell us any thing about it! Is it
as “ respectable” as the former, or is it so inferior
to that exhibited that it is thought most prudent to
keep it in the back ground. Wc should like to
sec the precious stuff.— lbid.
Respectability. —Some new moaning will have
to be given to the ternl “ respectable” and “ res
pectability.” The administration press at a dis
tance, arc laying very' great stress on the “ respec
tability” of the “very respectable” witnesses who
furnished the President with their affidavits. Un
fortunately however for their principal witness, no
one could be found to say that “ they would be
lieve him on his oath.” His own witness sum
moned to sustain his character, demurred to that
, point. However “ respectable’’ he might be, he
could not credit him on his oath.— lbid.

’ It is wonderful what a spirit of base servility is
' 1 spreading in the country. Wc have seen nothing
■ surpassing what is exhibited in the extract below,

, I in Philadelphia.
I An ancient writer exclaimed, “ what must that
’ people be where a monkey is a God I 1 ’ The ex
clamation was instantly recalled toour mind, when
r wc read the following:
, “Nature made Col. Benton to be the Presi
dent of the Republic—and she also made him for
" this crisis, for this decisive and energetic age. He
c is, emphatically, an inspired champion of the peo
ple, and of the people’s rights. No man ever
stood so high in mind, heart, deed, and detormin
-1 a tion —in popular principles, and in popular opin
- ion, as Colonel Benton ; save, and except only,
- General Jackson himself!”
i, When that child ofgcniusand sorrow, Mvtiib-
IX, had finished his tragedy of Bertram, he sent
it to the Drury-kmo threatre, enclosed to Lord

d | was in extreme distress; his only Hope was in

“ | lions of reward were comprised in the moderate
1 sum of fifty pounds. On the very next day, he
ie received a note from tire noble bard, informing
d him that he had read his tragedy three several
times, that he had set up all night to do eo; that
he had spoken to Mr. Murray, who offered eight

c The January number of the Southern Literary
. Messenger, which we have inadvertently omitted
, to notice before, fully sustains the reputation which
its previous numbers had acquired for this excel
-5 lent periodical. There is, as usual, an abundant
- variety of matter on subjects of. the most enter
. tabling and instructive chaiact ;r—liter: ry, histo
rical. and poetical— most of them contributions of
Southern talent, which really begins to shine out
! in this hitherto unpractised route, with a spark
ling brilliancy and racincss that may well alarm,
, if not ultimately eclipse, our northern publica
tions of the same cast, who havp generally claim
ed this branch, as their exclusive monopoly—for
i no other reason, however, 'than that the infant
Hercules of the South did not choose to exhibit
his strength and drive many ofthcmVns Bought to,'
out of the field. The talc entitled the “ Doom,”
though its moral may be questioned, is tho effort
of no mean pen. The “ Aong of the Seasons”
abounds in rich imagery and quaint conceits, and
is full of originality and the fire of poetry. We
hope the author Will fearlessly go on, and we
guarantee him a hichc in Parnassus that but few

The priesthood of Thibet say that Shi-gc-moo
ni, their supreme divinity resides always on earth,
animating the body of the Grand Lama. When,
the Grand Lama dies, the priests or lessor Lamas
take upon themselves the task of finding out in
what new person the spirit has thought proper to
take up its residence. Now, these priests being a
lone acquainted will! the secret signs which indi
cate the presence of the divinity: they set forth
immediately in search of him, and their faithful fol
lowers have only to wait till they have found this
babe of grace, which When found, they, the peo
ple, have no m’ore to do, but to fall down and wor
ship him.
Now this is convenient. What a world of la
bor, dispute, trouble and vexation is saved to the
whole race of the honest Mongols. All contro
versy is precluded, nil investigations, revillinga
and recriminations are wisely prevented. We
sec no Reviews, Gazettes and Examiners there.
No Telegraphs, Journals, Reporters, Whigs or
Torics Can throw in their paper pellets, to dis
turb the quiet transmission of divine right
Whenever the priesthood announce the child as
found, the decision is made, the question is set
tled, and no “ Appeal” in any shape is permitted
to be entered. Beautiful! —Georgia Journal.

have been light, since the dale of oUr last review—
the demand being only for prime and choice,while
middling and-inferier qualities arc much neglect

than our quotaiioils. There is evidently a waht
of firmness on the part of holders, since Thursday
evening, arising from the late report that the
French Chambers have rejected the hill making j
appropriations for the American claim.

| which is intended as a reply to a certificate givt'ri
| voluntarily by some goiiljtimen passengers in the

I through, they Would have preference oVdr (HI
j others at AfignSla, in going from that plifet in the
I mail line. This they dare no* deftly ; arid they
Imdw it 10 bo false, ’i’he agefi't of Loiigstrcct,
Uucdrtm A Co. at this place, told the passengers
j arriving at .Milk-dgcville, that they Were iroposod
1 on, A that they would not hat'd a' pftfcrence in the
i null linu at Align,-Id. iinltvithslairtlm’g the assur
i j unces given litem by the tlwfler# and agents of the
I other line; and on iheir arrival at Augusta, they
found that ti.etr had hrCn deceived, and that the
’ agent of LcngstrU*', Gnodron A Co. at this place,
lud told them lh< trlflh. Now mark the Jesuiti
i '.al evasion ol Eullar; he says: “Those gciule
’ | men (tile passengers who certified) took thetr scuts
’| in Columbus for Augusta, paying 522; we rar
’ rind them ns far fin their way as Milled geville.
1 1 where our coafth was ready to bring them to An

- [ only a prophet, hut u false one, he goes on to s-ay :
l ! Now we a,;, art that those passengers would hav«v
' I got iVnm Augusta, had they continued in tile Hot
l in which they started, us mil ua they diil by get
• | ting in the other line." Now, I repeat that this in
i, I a Jesuitical evasion. The truth is, the ptutwagem
a were assured at Columbus, by tbo ageuta of Ful
ler and Ida co-psrtifors, that if they would enter
I' there and g) all the way through to AiSgusla iu,
their line, they would have a preleretieo over all
o'lters to go from Augusta in the mail lino—riot
that they could not get on from AngnslaL hut that*
they would have no preference.—Whether they
4 1 w ould have got on n» aoou by eoirtiitufrig in the
’' line on which they started, us if they lad get on _ ,pr*
■ i in the other line, would depend npoh
• | wishing to go on, and not from wry preference at"
c j which they had been assured. As to the talc of the
‘, agent of the mail line herb Idling passengers that
■! if they did not g) on in tiieir lino, fits cUacna of
' I Augusta would hart- ir preference ever them, it is
d 1 utterly falter Tbr'iipifl of the mail line hero has
11 1 not said anv thing to paswwm, that he U not
