STATE RIGHTS NOMINATION.
FOR GOVERNOR,
CHI’S R. HOUfiHERTY.
NEW PAPER.
We have received the first and second No’s, of
The Telegraph, published weekly at Darien, Ga.
by Macardell & Caulueu. The Telegraph is
neatly printed, and professes to bo no party paper.
PRONUNCIATION.
We are indebted to the reasearch of the State
Rights Sentinel, for the amusing and humorous
old article under the head of “ Prohuncialion.” It
ludicrously exhibits the incongruities in the or
thography and pronunciation of the English lan
guage—and no doubt it will add to the declared
gratification derived from it by the Sentinel, to learn
that the author of it is Col. Condy RAGCET,«of
Philadelphia, the enlightened political economist,
the polite scholar, and accomplished gentleman.
INDIAN SPRINGS, &c.
We invite attention to a notice of the valuable
medicinal qualities of the Imix an Springs, in
this State. The situation of these Springs, apart
from the established efficacy of their waters, is
one of the most healthful in the State, and the
surrounding scenery is beautiful and romantic.
Dagger’s Springs, Virginia. —A v«ry pictu
resque and interesting description of this fashion
able watering place, will also be found in to-day’s
paper.
THE FEDERAL UNION.
This consistent print, in its last issue, says,
“We support him, [Martin Van Buren,] as our
friend, the friend of our friends, and the enemy of
our enemies.” “In this, is there any incosisten
cy?”
Why, really, Mr. Federal, we do not know ex
actly whether there is any “ inconsistency ” in it
or not. But, mayhap, the people can answer the
question, better than we can ourselves, after read
ing, as follows, your denunciation, in 1832, of
your “ friend, and tlje enemy of your enemies : ”
“ He [Martin Van Buren,] is a selfish calcula
tor, a fawning courtier, a flattering sycophant,
UTTERLY UNWORTHY THE NAME OF FRIEND.”
Now, every body must admit that this is vifty
friendly, and that the Federal is not only the pink,
but the concentrated essence, of consistency.
RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA.
Our Philadelphia papers of last evening give
a detailed account of an alarming riot which
occurred in that city on Sunday the 12th inst.,
occasioned by the attempt of a negro to murder
Robert R. Stewart, Esq. who several years
ago resided as American Consul at Trinidad,
Cuba. The negro was brought from that place
by Mr. S. and employed as a confidential servant.
Mr. S. was attacked while asleep, and several
severe blows were inflicted on his forehead with
an axe, which, it is supposed, will prove fatal. —
Phis outrage so excited the public mind, that a
mob, consisting of about ISOO men, sallied out,
severely beating the negroes generally, and
breaking open their houses in every direction for
the purpose of getting at their persons. One of
•he houses was fired, and it was sometime before
the flames could be suppressed by the fire com
panies. We see no account of any lives lost.
So much for mob Justice, and regard for the ne
groes, in the city of brotherly love, and nursery
of Abolitionists.
THE Q.UERE.
“The Governor, (says the Constitutionalist,)
was not bound to issue a public notice announ
cing the resignation ot Judge Schley, immediate
ly after its reception.” This is a strange assertion,
coming as it does from so staid and didactic a
print os the Constitutionalist. It must certainly
have been indulging in a vein of badinage, for it
cannot possibly be serious, in implying that it it
discretionary with the Governor to select his owe
e time for issuing writs of elections to fill vacan
cies. If he had this discretion, he could of course
= delay their promulgation until the day prece
ding the period of election, and thereby withhold
.. from the people a knowledge of such vacancies.
The Constitutionalist asks us, “ Why did he
g [the Governor,] not do it [issue writs of elcc
lion,] in the case of Judge Wayne,” immediately
after the reception of his resignation 1 “ and why
c was there no complaint 1 ” We do not know ;
but perhaps if it will put the querc to his Excel
i, lency, he will tell it. The simple circumstance of
■ there being “no complaint,” does not prove that
t his Excellency was right, or that he had not vio
s lated the spirit of the Constitution. Were we to
1 record and expose all the political sins of omission
and commission, which have disfigured his Ex
cellency’s administration, we should scarcely have
time to attend to anything else; and we have fre
quently passed them over, for no other reason than
| that their great number made it difficult to notice
I all, while other circumstances attracted and de
manded our attention.—ls “ the Slate Rights Con
vention nominated Mr. Gilmer, to fill the place of
Judge Wayne,” without any annunciation from
the Governor, of the resignation of the latter.it was
because such resignation was plainly and natural
ly to be inferred from Judge Wayne’s well-known
acceptance of a disqualifying office; but who,
except his Exccllcneys’ political friends, knew of
or anticipated the resignation of Judge Schley,
tillit was made public by the Union Convention 1
The Constitutionalist must give sounder reasons
than it has done, if it expects to make the people
believe that Governor Lumpkin has discharged
his duty, as imposed upon him by the evident
spirit of the Constitution. •
dj* We must defer a reply to to the Constitu
tionalist’s notice of our former advocacy and pre
sent opposition to Judge Schley, till wo have more
time and room.
PROM THE STANDARD OP UNION.
“ Governor Troup’s Letter. —Knowing the
avidity with which the Nullifies catch at every
tiling bearing the sanction of Gov. Troup’s
name, which can be construed into a recognition
of their principles, and understanding that he
addressed a letter to their Convention a few weeks
since, we have become a little curious to know
what lias become of that letter, and “for why and
wherefore” it has not been made public.
Os one thing we feel confident, that had it
contained any thing calculated to advance their
party purposes, it would have been published,
and puffed, end disseminated throughout tho
State.
We opine, that it was not in perfect “accord,”
with the views of that Convention, or it could not
have been “kept dark.”
Governor Troup was elected to that Conven
tion, and from Ills failing to attend, we infer that
lie considered it an assemblage calculated to do
no good to the country. We learn that his letter
was not publicly read before tho Convention,
which goes far to confirm our opinions.”
This is, no doubt, a “weak device of the ene
my.” We were present at Millcdgeville, during
the sittings of the State Rights Convention, and
heard nothing of such letter. Had Gov. Troup
addressed the Convention, it is more than proba
ble wc should have known it. We take the
statement of the Standard, as we do the doctrines
it advocates —for just what they are worth.
We feel confident that had Gov. Troup ad
dressed the Convention upon any subject what
ever, his communication would have been laid
before it, and also recorded, as a part of its pro
ceedings. If the Standard has any respect for its
own credit and veracity, let it name the man from
whom it got its “ understanding and if lie can
substantiate it, we will be the first to denounce
any improper suppression of Gov. Troup’s opini
ons, let them operate for or against who they
may. We certainly feel all proper respect for
those opinions, but at the same time attach very
little weight to any mere human authority, and
would have every man’s opinions tested by their
own intrinsic value, and not by the source from
whence they come.
Wc call upon the Standard for its authority for
this report; and if it does not give it, shall set it
down as a fabrication of its own, for effect.
FROM THE STANDARD OP UNION.
The Spirit of JVulliflcation. —If nullification
had power, what would it do 1 The answer is
found in the following Toast, drank at Madison, j
Morgan county, on the 4th inst.
' “ByW. J. Pcarman, Esq. The Union Troup j
men of Georgia: like all other traitors they de- !
serve either the Gibbet or the Gallows."
When freemen are denounced as traitors, and
threatened with the gibbet and the halter, for the
exercise of their “unalienable rights,” “there is
1 I something rotten in the State of Denmark ”
> 1 The above is from the Millcdgeville Treasury
r I print, edited by an individual, who, a few years
5 | ago, recommended himself to tho suffrages of
> | the people of Georgia, on the score of his un
-5 j compromising hostility to the Penitentiary Sys
• I tern. This much, en passant, —and now to Mr.
1 j Pearman’s toast. It is not only in bad taste,
1 but it is also too violent for us to approve. Yet,
" notwithstanding, if tho lex talionis is justifiable
1 Mr. P. is by no means amenable to censure.—
> President Jackson first stigmatised the Nullifiers,
I w ith the epithet of traitors, and the present Exe
r cutive of Georgia dishonored himself, in his
f Inaugural Address, by reiterating the calumny ;
e and in the session of 1832, the walls of the corn
■" mittee rooms and clerks rooms of the State House
I- were daubed, disfigured and disgraced by clumsy,
s vile, and infamous caricatures, representing Nul
y fillers suspended from the gallows, to each of
which caricatures was appended a few dirty, in
decent, and doggrel verses. When this shame
ful prostitution of the dignity of legislation was
) perpetrated, the editor of tho Treasury print was
*" a member elect from Hancock, and rendered
himself glaringly conspicuous by his vulgar and
b violent abuse of Nullifiers. In his own familiar
8 slang, he denounced them as cowards and trai
b' tors; and frequently declared lie “ could swal-
II low a dozen of them, if they were only well
19 greased, and had their ears pinned close to
u their heads !” Such is the man, and such is the
- I party whose delicate susceptibilities are so much
■ 1 afflicted, when their own base epithets arc merely
. thrown back into their teeth, after their having
1 made a common Barber’s shop of the halls of
legislation.
, At the time wc speak of, the Union party, as
it styles itself, would scarcely even tolerate the
State Rights party in any expression of its opini
on. Indeed, it then required a little more than
, ordinary nerve for a man to avow himself a Nul
liiier; and whenever lie did so, lie was not only
, threatened, in the perspective, with the Tarpeian
rock, but menaced with the knock-down argu
ment, the argumentum ad hominem of Uni
onism.
These facts illustrate tho materials of which
a large portion of the Union party is compound
ed, and will prove how far they respect, equal
rights, or regard the common decency and cour
tesy of honorable combatants.
It is true that “when freemen are denounced as
traitors, &c. for the exercise of their unalienable
rights, there is something rotten in the State of
Denmark;” hut who commenced such denuncia
tions 1 “Aye, there’s the rub!”
THE SOUTH.
Tho South, producing as she does all the great
staple commodities of commerce, has thus far
comparatively, enjoyed hut few of the commer
cial advantages resulting from them. This state
of things, wo arc glad to see, will not exist much
longer, as a proper direction is about to be given
to her industry, enterprise, aud resources. From
the following article, which we extract from tho
last Charleston Courier, it will be seen that Mr.
Shultz’s plan of a direct trade with old Ham
burg, has elicited a similar spirit of enterprize,
which cannot fail of being productive of the
most valuable aud important results. Will not
the capitalists of Georgia also turn their atten
tion to this interesting subject, and avail them
selves of its immense benefits'! We hope so.
Line of Packets between Charleston and the
Sea Ports of England and France. —Wc invito
attention to the following projet and subscrip
tion list, for the establishment of this important
commercial fine. Seventy shares have been al
ready taken, which are enough to furnish one
Packet Ship for tho contemplated line; and wc
understand that our enterprising fellow citizen,
Wm. Searhook, wifi take it on himself to fur
nish another. The scheme then, is aheady half
accomplished, and but a little more exertion is
necessary to complete it. Tho subscription fist

Room, in State-street.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
City of Charleston.
It is an indisputable fact, proved by tho expe
rience of enterprising Merchants of Boston and
New York, (more particularly of the latter) that
regular Lines of Packet Ships to and from the
principal Sea ports in France and England,
have the most beneficial effects on the interests
of Commerce. Regular and frequent communi
cations by sea, produce tho same happy influence
on foreign, that good roads and rapid conveyance
exert on internal trade. It cannot bo supposed
that the Merchants of New York would continue
to build splendid and costly vessels for their dif
ferent Lines, unless there were ample remunera
tion for the investments. They have experienc
ed the benefits which these Lines produce, in
various ways —first, us a source of profit with
regard to the ships themselves, and again, as a
medium, through which the general commercial
interests of their city, are improved and en
larged.
And with such examples of well rewarded and
successful enterprize before them, can ft bo pos
sible that the Merchants of Charleston will sit
down calmly, and indifferent to their own true
interests on such a subject 1 It is hoped, that
the case will be exactly the reverse. If a regu
lar fine of Monthly Packets wore established be
tween this port and Liverpool, what increase of
business might not be reasonably expected to
flow 1 We should not, as now, sec persons
going hence to New York, by Steamers, to take
passage for Europe in Line Ships ! We should
no longer hear of Charleston Merchants ordering
Goods to be shipped to New York, there bonded,
and afterwards forwarded to this place I We
should most certainly find that consignments of
British Manufactures would he more frequent.
Our country Merchants would ho induced to lay
out their money here, rather than in JVe-w York,
since they would save the expense of freight
ami insurance, from that to this port. Ami
why should not the Merchants of Charleston sell
Goods on as liberal terms, as those of the great
Emporium 1 Every Southern purchaser at that
city adds to its wealth, and substracts so much
from our own,
I It can hardly he necessary to say more on such
j a subject as this, to practical and intelligent men.

| attention and consideration, not of the man of
| business only, hut of tho Agriculturist, the City
j Lund holder, and in short, of every lover of his
State and City,
It is proposed, therefore, to form a Joint Slock
Company, and to raise a Capital ot One Hun
dred and Fifty Thousand Dollars, consisting of

THE CONSTITUTION ALIST
f Refers us to Mr. Calhoun’s speech of 1816,
. in proof of his having been “the champion ol
. the Protective system.” We have not that speech
s by us, nor any means of referring to it, but as
s we recollect it, it proves no such thing. The
j Protective System, as since so colled, had no ex
j istence at that time. The constitutional right ol
r protection, was not then claimed by the manu
i. facturers; and the question, as wo understand it
I was one, not of principle, hut of expediency, and
H as follows ; During the war, the country suffer
rj C J rn uch from the want of manufactures, and
c many influential men, Messrs. Jefferson, Monroe
• i
li [ Madison, fee. urged the manufacturers then ex
y isting to enlarge their establishments, and increase
g their operations, for the purpose of relieving that
if suffering ; to which they replied, that the uncer
tain termination of the war, rendered it too dan
s gerous for them to do so, as the reduction of
e duties, from the war, to a peace standard, at the
. end of the war, would introduce foreign fabrics
i at low prices, and completely destroy their infant
. establishments; and if the war should terminate
Y at an early period, they would not only not be
i remunerated for such enlargement, but perhaps
. ruiued. They were then told, that the country
. would no doubt take this matter into serious con
sideration at the end of the war, and, if necessa
i ry, protect them against a contingency to which
. they had subjected themselves for its benefit, by
1 preventing a sudden reduction of duties. Under
. this view, many of them, it is said, enlarged their
operations, and tiro war terminating sootr after,
3 they prayed from Congress, in 1810, not a sys
s (cm of protection, hut such a gradual reduction of
f duties as would serve them as a temporary pro
tection, & thereby prevent the destruction of their
manufactories, and enable them to continue them
and thereby strengthen the country, in case of a
future war. They prayed this, too, not as a mat
ter of right, but favor; and Congress cunccivcdjit
proper to grant it them, not as a matter of right,
hut expediency, and as a just return for the sacri
fices of many of them in behalf of the country.
The question was, not, shall the duties he increas
ed, as under the subsequent Protective System,
but, how shall they be reduced, from the war to
the peace standard— gradually or suddenly, at
once. Mr. Calhoun was one of those who con
ceived it expedictrl to reduce them gradually;
and hut just to an infant interest, which had
materially served the country ; artd at the same
time beneficial to lire comiliy, that such in
terest should be saved from destruction, in ease of
a future war. Be it again remembered, that the
right or constitutionality of protection, was not at
all involved, artd could not be, since tjrc country
was greatly in debt, and the duties, whether re
duced gradually or suddenly to the peace stan
dard, would have been alike revenue duties,
and consequently constitutional ones. The
question was therefore one of expediency alone,
and Mr. Calhoun considered it expedient, os
we should now do, under precisely similar cir
cumstances, to protect an infant interest from de
struction, and make a suitable return to it for the
benefits it had rendered to the country, particular
ly when no possible injury to the country, or any
other interest, was, or could be, anticipated there
from. The bill which Mr. Calhoun advocated,
' provided for a certain amount of reduction at the
tlrno, and (he remainder, (to what was considered
the peace standard,) in 18140 —.St was consequent- I
ly a bill for the reduction es duties, altogether.—
Before the second reduction took place, the manu
facturing interest had greatly increased, and, if we
recollect rightly, prevented it, by repealing the
clause of the bill of 181 Gto that eli’ect. Mr. Cal
houn was opposed to this repeal, and, wo believe,
, voted against it; though this delay was still
claimed on the same grounds as the former—not
as a right, but a favor. In 1834 the duties were ,
increased / the protective system was then plain
i ly under way ; and Mr. Calhoun, we believe, vo
ted against that bill, also. While a subsequent
Tariff bill was under discussion, perhaps in 1820,
it was believed that the casting vote in the Senate
would be thrown upon Mr. Calhoun, ns Vice Pre
sident. (Mi. C. had been rim on the Jackson
■ Ticket, and elected in 1825, when Jackson him
self was defeated.) The friends of Jackson,
[' knowing that if he had such casting vote,, it
1 would he given in the negative, and fearing its
. influence on the prospects of Jackson at the next
I election, requested him to evade the vote by vaca
> ting the chair for a time—telling him that from
’ the effect it would doubtless have upon the naxt
f election, if he gave it, they would probably feel
• bound to withhold his name from the Jackson
Ticket, for the ensuing canvass. He told them to
; do as they pleased in that matter, and to arrange
' that ticket to suit themselves; but, for himself, he
l should remain at his post, and, opposed as he was
t to the bill, he sincerely hoped that the casting
• vote might bo thrown upon him, that he might
i thereby have an opportunity of defeating it, as he
, certainly should vole against it, let the consc
-1 quenccs he what they might, if the opportunity
should occur to him. This fact was slated in the
# United States Telegraph several years ago, with a
challenge of denial, which was never made. Mr.
Calhoun’s subsequent course in relation to the
,p protective system, is well known.
Such is our memory of the hill of 1810, Mr.
' Calhoun’s speech at that time, and his course
* since. It may possibly Ins erroneous in some
r unessential minulia; but not in ought that is
1 essential. If otherwise, let it he shewn, and we
will correct it, as we hold no opinion but what we
' religiously believe correct, and desire to hold none
i-! but what is so. How far it justifies the assertion,
!- j that “Mi. Calhoun urns the champion of the pro
“ tectivc system,” the leader can judge for himself.
Mr. Calhoun and his friend* have no cause to he
s ashamed of their past course, however it may, in
(1 some things, and particular ly too much confidence
in the Government, the Federal system, and our
Northern brethren, have been founded in honest
etror, and a belief, that “the world without, was
like that within.” They were abused for that con
1, fidenec, by the Constitutionalist and others, when
>f! there really appeared little cause for doubt; and
h ! their opponents were violent in opposition, when
31 there was no danger in it and they hoped to “ride
c upon the storm.” But when that confidence
t- was necessarily destroyed, by repealed abuses
jf and oppressions, and they detcrminatcly made
t- opposition when there was some cam*! for it, and
t, danger in it, the Cimsiliutionalist and its coailju
id tors suddenly fled from their ground, changed
r- sides, and took the very one of confidence and
id advocacy formerly held by Mr. Calhoun and his
e, friends. Is the government belter now, than
Si r*-. - . ■ ■ * -
ay—wiiaaiwaa—aw—am—k—mil
when they so violently opposed it? How has it
and tho Union gained, since then, their implicit
confidence and reliance? They threatened ail
that Mr. Calhoun and his friends acted ; hut no
sooner did tho time for action come, than they
were as violently against action. They remind
us of what Tccumseh said of some retreating
British allies; that they were like a little noisy
dog, that pricks up his cars and harks aloud,
whenever danger is afar oft', but drops his tail
between bis legs and runs away, when it conies
near. The late venerable Col. Taylor of South
Carolina, said, his old coadjutors, Judge Smith
and others, were like Generals, who led their for
ces up to tho very face of tho enemy, and then
suddenly turned round and joined that enemy in
making fight against them.—Men may have con
fidence in an object, and very naturally lose it
when it proves unworthy of it, but can tho Con
stitutionalist show how they who had not that
confidence, in tho former case, could as naturally
gain it, in tho latter.

Dear Dab: — l write these few lines to let you
know that I am in tolerable health, except that
I have had, as Jack Downing would say, small
symptoms ot a lectio touch of the Cholcry ; and
hope they will find you pretty considerably in
the same condition. I have long watched your
political comae, and have been pleased with the
many pithy articles that have come from your
pen. Pithy ! what a word to express any thing
good! Why not say, solid, or hard. I should
say any thing pithy was soft and spongy; but, O!
mores!
I like that letter of Van’s that was sent to you
by express: it is so like tho man—knowing no
thing of tho members of the Convention, or their
acts, yet knowing all; advocating a hard money
currency, yet believing that tho business of the
country could not be carried on but by a circula
ting medium ; and lust, though not least, advoca
ting State Kights, butjumbling them together in
to such a heterogeneous mass of unintelligible
words, ns to make perfect nonsense; much in tho
way that they arc explained by some of those
who protend to advance tho doctrine in Virginia
and Georgia. Why not conic out at once, and
acknowledge that wc have rights, or that we have
none. If we have rights, let us maintain them
like freemen, and if wo have none, lot’us submit
like slaves to tho powers that be, aud say no
more about it. Don’t tell us such nonsense, as
that the States arc “ free, sovereign, ahd inde
pendent,” yet live, move, and have their being,
from the General Government —and have no
right to nullity an oppressive and unconstitution
al act, because (lioso who impose it say llmt it is
not so, or, acknowledging that it is so, defy our
right to say so, or oppose it. As I heard a gen
tleman say tho other day, nullification could bo
comprised in a nut-shell, and was tho doctrine of
nature, as the smallest hoy at school, if another
hoy took ids bag of marbles, would pursue aud
lake them back if he could.
Now, to this White aud Van Buren affair,
white and black it ought to ho called, because all
the niggers in New York will support Van Bu
ren and Johnson. Really, Dob, it appears to mo
that it is tweodlo dum and twcodlo dec. One is
an advocate of tho Force Bill, and the other is a
Force Bill advocate; and it is perfect stupidity
for the advocates of State Rights to support ei
ther, with anything like consistency— Stuart’s
opinion to the contrary notwithstanding. I like
the Editor of I lie Mercury, mainly, he is a tal
ented, bold, facetious fellow, aud lias been a good
nullifier, ab initjo, as tho Lawyers say; hut I
think Pemberton had the best of it in their late
controversy. P. came in somewhat later, but has
been a wheel horse ever since. Tho fellow de
serves great credit, if ho does get up to summer
heat without the aid of alchohol; for who but a
Jim Crow of a follow, could battle nullification
with the Lumpkin State Rights men of Georgia,
and keep cool.
Our’s was once called a government of the peo*
pie. If a remnant of its old character still re
mains, is not the apathy of the people most as
tonishing? All ridicule the acts of the self-con
stituted Baltimore Convention, yet all scorn dis
posed to acquiesce in its mock nomination, and
think that nothing can prevent the succession
of the Kinderhookcr; and many say wo are sold
to the Dutch. Suppose that Gen. Hamilton and
oilier nullifiers of South Carolina, had said that
it was useless to contend against their opponents
—that they would have every thing their own
way—and had remained quiet, giving up all the
offices and influence to the other patty ; would
not nullification have become a hyc-word and a re
proach, to the latest posterity ?—Just so it is with
the present contest for the Presidency. The doc
trine of State Rights has prevailed in South

contest to be given up, and the whole fabric o

fect of supporting cither of the candidates!—
Why not run a State Rights man ? If he should
receive the vote of but one entire State, it would
at least he standing on correct principles, and
better than throwing away the vote on an oppo
nent, on mere personal grounds. If Martin Van
Dureuand R. M. Johnson are to rule the nation,
aud there is no help for it, I think it would be far
bettor, us we Fanners say, to fire against (he tire,
audio fight them with their own weapons, by
rallying mi some strong man of their own kidney,
such as Webster or Clay, than to vole for White,
who is a milk-and-water creature, to say the least
of it —and between whom and the little Dutch
man, the latter has decidedly tho advantage. But
wc arc told that wc must vote for due or the oilier,
and that White being the least objectionable, we
ought to support him, which I take to be a left
handed compliment, tho plain English of which
t is, that, as lie has less cunning and influence, ho f
t will do the least harm, for I would not give a straw
1 for the difference in their political creed. One
3 would most likely act for himself, and the other
/ would ho by some scullion of the
1 Kitchen. Beside, I have no faith in these Ten
; nessee Presidents. It is monopolising too much
of the spoils.
, As I have gone so far—much farther than I
1 intended when I began—l'll tell you, Mr. Short,
s what would ho my plan, in the present state of
1 tire case. I would have the State Rights party,
1 in each Stale, to cull mootings in every county or
district, and after fully discussing matters and
1 things as they now stand, and are likely to bo,
under the present aspect of affairs, would then
t appoint delegates to meet at some prominent point
in each State, and then and there nominate some
( tried statesman and honest politician of the par
, ty, and recommend him to be supported through
out lire Union. I should suppose that there is
not a State that could not bo as well represented
as Tennessee was in the late Baltimore Convon
i tion.—This would ho maintaining our position,
t and if the vote was thrown away it would ho
in a good cause.—A little Fox-hoadcd Dutchman,

INDIAN BRINGS, July 4, 1833.
Messrs. Editors; Is it not surprising that the
water of these springs is not more highly esti
mated, combining as they do, tile mineral proper
ties of sulphur, magnesia, nitre and lined air ! it
appears that the all merciful Father of the uni
verso had prepared a remedy for the afflicted with
liver complaints, debility originating from pro
tracted bilious fevers, bilious cholic, jaundice and
cases of rheumatism. Having for fifteen years
past (and already this season,) witnessed the
salutary effects of those waters in three such ca
ses, while the mineral waters of other regions arc
’ tlaily puffed in lire public prints, and our citizens
■ led offlhither, I have Celt disposed to draw their ut
, lenlion to our own resources.
Even within the three weeks past, persons who
' arrived at this watering place, unable to go about
' or get out of their rooms, afflicted with repealed
and continued attacks of bilious cholic and one
genuine case of rheumatism have been cured liy
the use of this water. There is most excellent
company here, and Mr. Erwin ami his amiable
daughter gives their guests the very best fare the
country affords, prepared in the best slylc. The
rooms arc numerous; and mo.it carefully fitted up.
> Wo have excellent music and occasionally good
a preaching; and I know of no establishment which
so much deserves encouragement, whore lime cun
be mure pleasantly spent, or the class of the ufllic
> ted before mentioned, will so certainly recover
3 their health. —Macon Messenger,

i FROM FRANCE.
The Pacific, Cnpt. Ifoxio, noticed yesterday as
having arrived from Havre, brings five days later
news from tlio continent.
Tile treaty bus been up in the Chamber of
Peers, and no opposition to any of its features has
been manifested. It may ho considered us hav
ing become a law, retaining its explanatory pro
vision. We have no doubt that the government
will be satisfied with what Iras already transpired,
and the question may be doomed settled.
The stock market in England and France is in
a languishing state. It is clearly ■evident and ad
mitted that Don Carlos gains ground daily in
■Spain. He is supported by the despotic monarch*
of Europe and the priests. England will inter
fere, according to treaty. Franco is reluctant to
follow, but eventually will bo compelled.
In the French Chambr of Peers, on the 3d ult,,
M. do Uarcnte offered to read the report of the
Special Committee charged to examine the bill
for tire execution of tiro law of the 4th of July,
1831, [the American Indemnity;] but the reading
was uiljounngl to a subsequent day, nut fixed,
France, —The Gazette de Franco of the 4lh,
remarks: the Impaitial states that two of the min
isters threaten to send In their resignations if the
Intervention he nut adopted. On the other hand,
it is said that M. Humana and Maison have de
clared that they would quit the cabinet if this
measure was resolved upon. It is then fur the
purpose of gaining lime that they have written to
London.
The ministerial renewal oflhe crisis of Novem
ber and April, appears to be neatly us dangerous
as the intervention.
The Chamber of Peers was still engaged on the
trials of the persons who signed tire letter which
appeared in the Tribunal. On the 3d, nine indi
viduals were declared guilty, including Audry do
Puyravcau. At the same sitting, ten others were
acquitted.

Spain. —Elisundo and Urduche have been c
vaeuted by the troops of the Queen, and the gar
risons of these two places are on their march lor
Pampeluna. A courier lias arrived here to-day,
by land, from St. Sebastian, who reports that the
insurgents hud invested Villa Franca, a place
strongly fortified; that during the whole of yes
terday the place has been besieged, and that the
garrison Um made a strong resistance ; that Jau
regny (el Pastor) had gone off yesterday before
mid day, with ISUO men, to raise the blockade.
When tire courier came away, the result of the
expedition was not yet known. This morning a
cannonade was heard in tlic direction of Villa
Franca.
Nothing has been spoken of here for some
days back, but the intervention. The entry of
the French troops into Spain is ardently wished
for. God grant that the faction may ho annihi
lated one way or another, for the commercial
affairs on the frontier are in so wretched a con
dition, that it will be impossible to continue com
fnciec much longer.
It is this moment announced that the insur
gents have abandoned Villa Franca.
They assaulted it twice; with the view of get
; ting into it, but each time in vain. They were
repulsed w ith the loss of 500 men. These two
assaults wore made last night. The first at mid
-1 night and the second at 8 o’clock. The insur
gents retired in conaequcr.ee of hemp informed
, that two corps of the Queen had arrived. One
of these corps was commanded by El Pastor and
’ the other by Valdez. The forces of the latter a
mount to 10,000 men. A second affair is spoken
of; hut wo have not received the details of it.

A Detail of Facts.
Monbos, N. C. Feb. 21st, 1835.
Dr. Rmvand, Sir;—ln forwarding you the fol
, lowing lines, I fed that I am not only discharging
. an imperious duly, but, at the. same time realizing
Iho exquisite pleasure which an individual feels
(on a recovery from a long, tedious and loath-'
, some disease,) on communicating the fact to his
friends, who manifest any solicitude relative to
Ins welfare, and more particularly to the physi
cian who proscribed the cure.
In August, 1834, (having during the preced
ing winter, changed my residence, by which I
was reduced to the necessity of using water un
pregnuted with mineral properties, unfriendly to
my constitutional habits) I was violently attack
ed by Bdious Fever; the ravaging progress of
which was, by prompt and efficient medical assis
tance, stayed, on the fifth day of its continuance,
but by culpable negligence, and untimely expo
sure, in a short period of time I was attacked by
, Intermittent Fever. Being quite young, and of
a line, strong, fleshy, constitution, approximating
to the corpulent, I being not in any degree aware
of the gnat difficulty generally experienced in
its utter eradication, did jtot immediately apply
for professional assistance, hut for some weeks
contented myself with following the prescriptions
of my fitends, particularly ageit females, all of
whom had their respective specifics, mid of tho
successful use of which, they spoke in terms of
the strongest approbation. After a few weeks
however, owing to its nninterruption and groat
severity, I found myself reduced to a very weak
anil languid condition. In the course of this
period I had unavailingly used Detergents, Dia
phoretics, Cathartics, Emetics, Depletion, and
every thing else which a well strained female in
tellect could devise. Looking now upon my sit
uation as I should have done at first, leaflet! to
my assistance the combined efforts of two regular
and highly respectable practitioners, for by this
time I obviously betrayed symptoms of approach
ing Dyspepsia.
After carefully coni)dying with their proscrip
tions, I experienced a partial discontinuance of
my uiiills, and in a short linto regained a portion
of my wonted strength. But as soon as tho chil
ling blasts of winter came on, the ague returned,
and like tho once-extirpated “Evil Spirit,” it
scorned to make its return accompanied with
seven fold fury and violence. In this condition
I scarcely knew what course most advisable to
pursue, I deemed a radical cure impossible before
spring, and yet I could not brook the idea of suf
fering under its heart-freezing and blood-congeal
ing influence, during tho icy months of winter,
, Thus circumstanced, I once again resorted to
former use of Emetics, Cathartics, and sodorifics,
together with an abundant use of Quinine, Peru
vian Bark, and wine, &c. It now being winter,
I would not use Fowler’s Solution. This course
I pursued until January without ever escaping
tho regular tertian recurrence of (he ague, which ■
sometimes continued on me for five hours before
the reaction commenced. My friends now urged
the propriety of calling to my assistance a Thom-
Bonian Steam Doetor, but my prejudice, having
at an anterior day been enlisted against tiro unit
ed fraternity, I for some days hesitated ; hut hav
ing almost despaired of recovery during (ho cold
season, at tho same time that I wished to get
some circumstance by which to destroy the un
bounded confidence which many of my particu
lar friends reposed in the life destroying system,
I at last consented, not without fearful reluctance,
to undergo a regular course of Steaming.
'The fumigating apparatus together with quart
drenches of the tea, was prepared and most furi
ously employed, hut to no purpose, us it did not
arrest one chill, although twice repeated, and so
fur from effecting any sal tilery alteration in my
condition was it, that it left mo a poor, debilitated
emaciated soul, whoso whole mind was onerous
|y hurthened with the thick mists of desperation.
My appetite, which before was ordinary, became
now depraved. My stomach would contain no
solid, and but very little liquid nutriment, I re
quired an almost constant laxative. My blood
had become so watery that 1 had a daily bleeding
ut the nose. In fine, it left me every thing but a
well man, great debility and languor were my
usual concomitants, for by this time the effects
of Ague were discovered under the variegated
symptoms of Dyspepsia, Heart Burn, Liver Infla
mation, Wight Sweets and Dropsy, and while
thus situated, about the first of February, when
my friends could administer no relief, save that
of sympathetic sighs, my attention was arrested
by a notice of tho striking anti-febrile virtues
possessed by your “ Tonic Mixture, Vegetable
Febrifuge,” for which I immediately applied to
your agent in Choraw, S. C. and having adopted
the preparatory measure of detorg ng the stomach
by an emetic, followed by a Cathartic, I com
menced the use of the febrifuge as directed, and
1 am happy to inform you I have not had an
ague since. My appetite has become voracious,
my debility is gradually giving way to the ener
gizing virtues flf the Tonic and my blood is en
tirely revivified, such have been the admitabla
and salutary effects produced by your Tome
Mixtuic —and as I deem the publicity of such
striking cures as tho above, calculated not only
to enhance its tested and deserved reputation,
hut also to extend and increase its vise ami circu
lation in this section of country, whom its pro
perties arc very imperfectly known, and their
value seldom properly appreciated, you are at
liberty to dispose of the foregoing facts as may
best conduce to a general circulation of tho Med
icine as well as the prosperity and deserved celeb
ritv of its discoverer. I ant, respectfully, &c.
