last, duly elected Colonel of the 10th Regiment,
Georgia Militia, to fill the vacancy occasioned hy
dro death of Col. R. W. McKccn.
LATE FROM SEW YORK.
We are indebted to the polite attention of the
editor of the Charleston Mercury, for the latest
New York papers, by the Steam Packet David
Brown, to Wednesday, the 14th inst.—extracts
from which, and the Charleston papers, will he
found in our columns.
LARGE REAR.
Wa saw yesterday a Pear, in the hands of
Cosby Dickinson, Esq. of the United States
Hotel, sent to him from Alabama, which weighed
one pound and six ounces, and measured 14
inches in circumference.
THE POLF.S IN AMERICA.
In our advertising columns may he seen the
Prospectus of a work ou the subject of the Polish
Revolution, and Polish emigration to the United |
States, as forwarded to us by the Committee whose I
names are assigned to it; together with a sub- |
scription list, to which signatures will he received |
at this office.
THE SOUTHERN ROSE.
The neatest little sheet which we have seen
for many a day, (says the N. Y. Evening Star,)
and the most agreeable one in every respect, is
edited by Mrs. Giiaian, and published semi
monthly. It is most admirably conducted by a
lady evidently of intelligence and refinement.
And we most readily and heartily recommend it
to the public as in every respect entitled to their
patronage.
LITTELL’S MUSEUM
Os Foreign Literature, Science, and Art.
The contents of the October No. of this ex
cellent work are, as usual, highly varied and in
teresting, as may he judged of in some degree
by reference to the table of them in our adver
tising columns, and a glance at the titles of the
numerous popular and able English works from
which they arc extracted —to say nothing of the
judgment, taste, and ability generally manifested
in the selections of the Museum, which is com
posed of the most useful, instructive, and enter
taining matter of all the English Magazines. The
piesent No. is also embellished with a line full
length portrait of the celebrated French poet
Berasgeb, accompanied hy a brief biographical
sketch of that exceedingly popular and spirited
national songster, so enthusiastically devoted to
Napoleon, and the military glory of his country.
' MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA.
The fourth annual course of lectures in this
institution, commenced on Monday, and, we are
gratified to learn (says the Constitutionalist,) with
the most flattering prospects, both to the faculty
and to their pupils: to the former, because their
reward will be proportionate to the number in the
class; and to the latter, because we believe every
preparation has been made to render their advan
tages equal to those offered hy the most favored
schools of the Union.
We sincerely congratulate Iho profession for
the increasing prosperity of the college they have
so successfully reared, amidst the many difficul-
•* * NTirw.paßaa—ML'OTi~sM«r,.i • tubmiiii ■ —«■ ■■ i i
* I ties with which they have had to contend. That
their exertions will ho highly useful to the com
immity at large, and duly appreciated hy all, can
not admit of a doubt. Experience has long since i
demonstrated, that wherever medical schools have
- j been established, the immediate effect has been
Ito elevate the standard of the profession, to
s j excite its members to laudable emulation, and
manifestly to diminish the ratio of mortality. We
, therefore take especial pleasure in calling the at
. tenticn of our follow citizens to the Medical Col
- lege of Georgia.
’ The introductory lectures, we are informed
will ho delivered every day this week, at 12 o’-
t clock, M. On Monday hy Dr. Cunningham ;
; on Tuesday by Dr. Antoni ; on Wednesday hy
* Dr. Fonn ; on Thursday by Dr. Joseph A. Eve;
on Friday hy Dr. Deo as ; and on Saturday hy
Dr. Paul F. Eve.
f SPARTA SCHOOL.
The Sparta Female Model School is in a
i most flourishing condition, under the superin
tendence of our friend, the Rev. Sereno Taylor.
It numbers at piesent 131 pupils. The necessa
ry expense of Board and Tuition for the Scho
lastic year is s2ll, one half less than the same
amount of instruction costs in Philadelphia, New
York, or Boston, This School has a library of
800 volumes, extensive Apparatus, fifteen Piano
Portes, an Organ, Sciaphine, Uphonia, Guitars,
Flageolets, and Harp. There are lit) Piano
Forte pupils! Music will he plenty next year.
Young ladies in future will take care not to have
colds, when asked to play and sing—the request
may not bo repeated, as there will bo so many
others ready to supply the deficiency.— Courier.
FROM THE SENTINEL.
“After giving is the state of the polls in Rich- I
mond County, the Chronicle proceeds thus :
“ Sic transit gloria Monday ! (not a bad pun
by the way.) And so much for the hopes of
those who violently opposed Federalists, Force
bill men, and Union men in one breath, and
nominate and vote for them in the next,’’ &c.
And pray how would the gloria Monday have
transited without such « nomination 1 How did
it transit last year, and the year before 1 Had
the nomination succeeded, wo should have had
in the Senate, a liberal, independent,highminded,
anti-Van lluren, anti-Caucus, Union man. It
having failed, we arc precisely where wc would
have been had it never been made, except that
we have made some friends, and gained some aux
iliaries by it, which perhaps wo should have never
made.
“ And beaten as they are, do they not feel that
they richly deserve it ?”
No : but if wo had folded our arms without a
struggle—if wo had furthered hy our neutrality,
the election of a man, who, to all General Flour
noy’s political errors, as wc read them, added two
more, of a most deadly character—then indeed wc
should feel that we deserve it. Let it bo remem
bered no State Rights candidate was proposed
for the Senate. Now, if we understand the doc
trine of the Chronicle, it is in such a slate of
things, let your adversary, no matter what his po
litical complexion, walk in and help himself— '
Let him riot in nil the wantonness of political ,
error—lot him make laws, make judges, make
presidents, and confirm caucuses at his will. In
the meantime, look upon the desolation which he
is spreading around, and console yourself with
the reflection that you did not put him there, nor
raise a finger to keep him out. And carry on the
principle. While you are encouraging the worst
of men to usurp all power at home, help the mosl
abandoned to usurp ail power abroad, hy your
apathy, and when your liberty is buried under
the ruins of the Republic, you may console your
self with the reflection, that you oidy hastened,
but did not produce its overthrow. Bush on the
principle. If no circumstances will justify the
Nullifler in voting for a Union man ; no circum
stances will justify the Union man in voting for
| the Nullifler. Wo should rather condemn there
fore, than applaud those who have come over to
our help since the last October. They have
doubtless been as violently opposed to Nullifica
tion as wc have been to Federalists, “ Force-Bill”
men and “Union men.” Some of them, per
haps, have seen that Nullification is not the mon
ster which it has been cried up to he others look
| upon it as they always have, hut see (how can
! they help seeing it) that there is far more danger
j at this time, from Federalism, Consolidation, and
j Van Burcnism, than there is from Nullification;
I and they have yielded tip their party prejudices
upon the altar of their country. We can say to
them, “ your hands friends ! As you have done
to us in your counties, so did wc to you in ours.
Are you Union men 1 welcome to your political
faith, until further reflection shall change or con
firm it. Wo arc still Null!Hors, open, undisguised
Nullifies —aye, and with our eye upon the load
ed wagons in our streets and the growing wealth
of the country, we speak it with pride and cxul
tation —South Caholina Nri-timms ; hut
grant unto us the like charity and indulgence.
We arc now on a common platform, and engaged
in a good work ; here let us remain in friendship,
until another clash between the State and the
General Government; and then, farewell again—
you to the last, we to the first.” But what should
the Chronicle say to them 1 “ 4re you Nulli
fiers, gentlemen 1” “No sir.” “Then wc tell
' you as wc have told you in times past, ‘ that you
■ never ought to succeed by’ our ‘ means’: ‘ and
we say it now again, with as firm a conviction of
i its truth as if it were visibly stampt upon the mind
! I and conscience, that prompted by it the unerring
i ' hand of God himself. We earnestly entreat you,
. I as you value your principles and your country, to
think well on this matter and adopt a different
course for the future.’ ”
Wc have no doubt, but that, the Editor of the
- Chronicle is sincere, in his opinions. Me is sup
ported hy some of our ablest men, and warmest
5 friends; but to us they are monstrous, baseless,
1 ruinous. The more wo reflect on them, the more
t preposterous they seem. Teach us that they are
1 j the only security to principle, and wc will adopt
, I them to-morrow. What do the Nullifier’s prin
ciples require of him! To vote for a Nullifler,
0 whether he be a Van Bitten man. Webster man,
or Troup maul To vote for a Nullifler, regard
less of his views upon every thing else hut Stale
I rights and State remedies! To vote for him in
s preference to the Union man, who is his superior
0 in every moral and intellectual qualification ! lo
1 vote for nobody hut a Nullifler, under any and all
circumstances 1 If these be the principles of
I Nullification, we now know them for the first
r j time; and we despise them. But we do not so
c I understand them. They are far more elevated
and dignified in their character, as wc apprehend
* | them. They require of their votary a paramount
' j allegiance to his State—They require of him to
d ; maintain the right of the State to judge what
powers she has yielded and what she has retain
ir cd—They require of him to maintain her judge
ment with all his moral and physical energies.—
c They require of him, in case of collision of opi-
I- won between his Slate and the General Govern
ment, to lecommend to the former, neither sub
mission nor secession: hut the moral force of law
against law, and Judge against Judge. They
maintain that ours is a confederation of States s
i and to talk of majorities ruling among States, is
to justify the dismemberment of Poland, and the
coalition against France, upon a principle of
municipal law. It requires them, other things
being equal, to support those who support these
principles. Here the principles of Nullification
stop. When there is nothing in the state of the
country which calls, or is likely to call, for the ex
ercise of those principles, it leaves its champion
at liberty to shake hands witli their old foes, if
they choose; and to fight under a common stand
ard against any common enemy. Such a meet
ing, imports the same abandonment of principle,
Unit our trade with Groat Britain imports, as to
the principles of ’76.
“ It may he bad enough to be beaten, hut it
must be doubly so lo those who have denied them
selves the noble consolation of feeling that they
do not merit it, ‘ and that if Home must fall,
they are innocent.' ’’
Wc think so; but who is to enjoy this noble
consolation depends upon the cause of Romo’s
fall. If it fall from the elevation of a man to the
Presidency, who lives in the focus of Abolition—
if it fall from a usurpation of the elective fran
chise by a knot of unprincipled demagogues—if
it fall from the promotion of unworthy men to
all the high places of the country —the consola
tion will not belong to the man who looked pas
sively upon the gathering of all these evils over
Rome, while ho was digging about and watering
Iho tree of Nullification. His would he the con
solation of the man, who, seeing Rome on fire,
refused to put it out, because a Nullifler would
not hand the bucket. Ours would he the conso
lation of the man who mounted upon the first
building that caught, and cried aloud for water
from any and every hand to extinguish it, but
could not get it.”
We give the remarks of the Sentinel entire,
as wc find them—not mutilated and garbled as
ours are, in the above article; and, that the rea
der may judge how fairly it has dealt hy us, wc
republish the article it has replied 10, as follows;
“ Sic transit gloria Monday !—Aud so much
for the hopes of those who violently oppose Fed
eralists, Force-bill men, and Union men in one
breath, and nominate and vote for them in the
next; and profess that their principles are neces
sary to the salvation of Iho country and its libc.-
tics, and yet ardently and unnecessarily bring
out and support the very men who are charged
with trampling them under foot. Is not this too
much—loo bad I Can they hope for any confi
dence in themselves or their principles while they
do so 1 And beaten, as they are, do they not
feel, that they richly deserve it? Have they not
been taught this lesson again and again within
the last few years; and are they fully determined
to shut their eyes against it, aud refuse lo learn
wisdom from experience 1 If they would but
do so now, their present defeat would ultimately
prove to them a triumph, hy pointing out to them
the only road to future success. It may ho had
enough to he beaten, but it must be doubly so to
those who have denied themselves the noble con
solation of feeling that they do not merit it, and
that “if Romo must fall, they are innocent.” —
We say this in sorrow, not in anger; and if wc
wound their feelings, God knows that it is done
from a desire to save them from a similar result
in future. Wc have told them repeatedly, for
years past, that they never will, never can, and
never ought to succeed hy such means ; and wo
say it now again, with as firm a conviction of its
truth, as if it were visibly stamped upon the mind
and conscience that prompt it, by the unerring
hand of God himself. Wc earnestly cnh-cat
them, as they value their principles and their
country, to think well on this matter, and adopt a
dillerent course for the future.”
“How would the gloria Monday have transi
ted without such a nomination 1 Certainly not
worse, for that is not possible. Wc should have
been beaten, hut honorably, had we nominated an
entire ticket of our own principles—and com
manded the respect of our opponents, sot a good
example before our partizans, gratified, encour
aged, and stimulated those who are allied to us
hy principle alone, and manifested an honest and
sincere belief in our principles, hy a consistent
adherence to them in trial, and against temptation.
Cannot the Sentinel believe that there are men
in our party who scorn all indirect means—who
desire success, for the sake of principle, alone—
who would spurn from them any success in theii
power, that could not he obtained without the
slightest inconsistency, or compromise of princi
ple—and who are discouraged, disheartened, dis
gusted, silenced, shamed out of all zealous, noble,
persevering efforts, and all but driven out of the
party, hy conduct, which they cannot approve,
and arc charged with promoting distraction and
division, if they honestly condemn 1 Does it
not know, that there are thousands of generous
hearted, chivalric, disinterestad, and patriotic
young men among ns, who attached themselves
to our parly in its hour of greatest trial, solely
from devotion to its principles—who, with that
purity of purpose, enthusiastic zeal, and indomi
table faith, natural to uncorrupled youth, will go
on with you in tire good cause, proud to share its
perils, glorying in its sacrifices, and gathering
fresh zeal from defeat; confident that “ truth is
mighty, and must prevail,” so long as you keep
it pure and undefiled, and cheer them with a
good example; hut who, when they find that
you arc merely struggling for party and power,
and practising yourselves, the very arts and means
that you violently abuse in others, will first be
come shocked, disgusted, and discouraged, then
doubtful of all political honor, truth and virtue
then downright political infidels, looking upon
politics as a mere game, in which “all is fair,”
“the end justifies the means,” the players “men
of principle according to their interest," and
justified in “fighting their opponents with their
own weapons”—and then, thus corrupted, they
will naturally seize the first opportunity of quit
ting your minority, to play on the side of the
majority. Does it not sec and believe, that the
1 whole country (one glorious little spot excepted,)
r has been corrupted in this way, and that all our
young men, instead of being taught a firm faith
i in political virtue, and encouraged to rely on
! Him, alone, who. in politics, as everything else, is
j the sole strength, and will test his disciples by
, adversity and temptation, and raise up the true
I in their hour of weakness, and prostrate the false
-so that of their fancied strength—arc made tho-
I rough political infidels and hypocrites as soon as
i- (hey become inducted into politics, and fit instru
i- m cnts fo r the degradation and destruction of their
- country? Has not this infidelity become so
' universal, that there arc none to expose and con-
J > *
’ demn it, and that a mere show of virtue, or par
s tial practice of it—anything, indeed, that is less
) vile than the vilest—is taken as the true faith?
*' Is it not common to justify our own vices, by
’ tile greater ones of our opponents, and to defend
, ourselves, not by proving our own innocence, but
i hy attacking the vices of our assailants ? Have
■ not vve ourselves, been told again and again, in
j, opposition lo our adherence to principle, that it
. would not do—that we must take the world os it
. is, and deal with men as they are, and not as we
■ would have them —that wc must use a little/to/rcy
—by the bye wc use it altogether, believing
; honesty the best policy, but the word has got to
■ he perfectly synonymous with trickeiy, hipoensy,
deceit, &c. &c.—that wc must fight our oppo
nents with their own weapons—and that if we
cannot got what wc want, wc should take what
we can got, &c. &c. Now, is not this monstrous
—an entire confounding of good and evil—and
does not our own misconduct thus justify the
misconduct of our opponents, and keep them in
countenance, while we might otherwise shame
them, hy presenting such a contrast of our vir
tues with their vices, as would enable the people
lo distinguish clearly and undoubtedly, the one
from the other? For our own part, we dispiso
above all things, your ingenious mixtures of
good and evil, and firmly believe that it were far
better for the general cause of virtue, that a man
should he totally had, and thus present an object
to bo plainly shunned and detested, than to pos
sess so much of both, as to bo enabled to render
his vices palatable hy their admixture with his
virtues, and to propagate the former, under cover
of the latter. Before God, we respect and admire
the thorough villain, who lias the boldness to act
consistently, and take the responsibility of his
conduct and character, far mort. than your paltry
hypocrite, who is over “halting between two
opinions,” and “stealing the livery of heaven to
serve the devil inand do not wonder that God
himself has said of them, “inasmuch as yc arc
neither hot nor cold, I spew ye out of my mouth.”
There is neither merit in thorn as friends, ot in
overcoming and converting them as enemies, and
they are loft to perish as the beasts of the field.
Cannot the Sentinel believe, too, that there
are honestly disposed men of the other party,
who would join ours, if wo only so acted as to
command their respect, and secure their confi
dence? We know there arc. Wc have again
and again marked this, in conversation with our
old Clark associates, and have felt no little shame,
when, on our pointing oat the abuses of their
party, they have promptly acknowledged and
condemned them, ami retorted liy pointing out i
similar ones in ours, and asking where was our I
right to accuse them, and wherein they would I
better themselves hy quilting their own to join it ? i
Thus, our inconsistencies are made to excuse t
theirs, and theirs ours; ami pray what is to ho- I
come of a country, where each party excuses 1
its own misconduct, hy that ot the other ? Is it <
not time that a different course should he pursued 1
—time that something should he done in the way f
of reform, if wo would save the country from utter ‘
destruction—and is it not the best & surest mode, 1
for each who thinks so, to begin with himself, and 1
set a good example to others ? Is it not utter *
nonsense—worse than nonsense—lo attempt it 1
by preaching one thing and practising another— 1
yea, openly practising the very conduct wo at the 1
same time violently condemn in others ? And 1
is it not utterly contemptible—a thing to make 1
us hated and dispised—to seek lo make men love 1
and worship Virtue, by holding out to their gaze 1
a deformed and disgusting imago of her—a rag- 1
ged and tattered effigy—a thing “of shreds and ;
patches?” Away with such a mockery ! Let
us deal fairly witli the people we profess to serve,
and gain their confidence only by deserving it;
remembering that men can never he made to he
lievc in any principles, till they have full faith in
the individual honesty and sincerity of those who
teach them; and that when litis is gained, the oth
er follows of course. It was the pure, consistent,
unequivocal personal conduct and character of
Jesus Christ himself, that established the Chris
tian religion, more than the truth of the religion
itself-—the heroic, devoted, disinterested, and vir
tuous course es the leaders in Carolina, that effec
ted her success, more than her glorious principles,
pure, and true, and virtuous as those principles |
arc—and in like manner must he the success of
the State Rights party of Georgia, if it succeed
at all. God forefend—we say it from the very
bottom of our hearts—that it should ever succeed
hr any other way. If its principles do not first
purify those who now hold them, they cannot he
expected to effect good on others, under such
teachers—and till they have done this, those
whom wc would urge to adopt them, might well
reply to us, “Physician, heal thyself.”
The fact cannot be disguised, that the whole
■ country is in a dreadful condition, auguring the
most melancholy and distressing results. The
, elements of anarchy and mischief are every where |
at work, and if not speedily allayed, hy an appeal |
to the public virtue of the people, will present a j
general scene of confusion and ruin to astonish
the world, and such as the world has perhaps
• never seen. The editor of the Sentinel is a pro
fessor of religion, and a firm and sincere believer,
■ wc trust, in the unerring jo-lice and equity of
i God, and the continual influence of his laws
i over all earthly things and events. He is con
i scions of the multiplied evils rife in the land ;
r and can he believe that the political outrages
i throughout the country of men in power, tire
i corrupt hankering after office, the mad rage of
* parly, tiro dangerous character of the aspirants
r on cither side for the highest offices in fire eon
: fcdcracy, the sacrifice of all other considerations
> to the mere success of the one or the other, and
■ the onwardprogressof Abolitionism, bigotry,and
; fanataeism, arc all things of chance—lire effects
-of mere accident ? Does not all history, ancient
r * or modern, sacred or profane, fully testify that
) each downfall of a nation was preceded hy cor
• ruption, and the consequent madness of it now
■ rife in ours; and that nations, as well as indivi
i duals are strictly responsible for their conduct,
and must alike pay the penalties of vice, and a
continual disregard of virtue, justice, and morali
ty ? Has not our country been long characterised
hy n monstrous disregard of principle and con
-1 sistency, in all parties, combined with perversions
of power, a cruel disregard for the r ights of the
weak, and a prostration of all justice, in the doal
; ings of the majority toward the minority, and the
’ strong sections toward the weak, while the weak
' themselves shamelessly practise tire same conduct
' wherever they have the power, that they con
-1 dhrau when practised against themselves ? All
this is shocking, monstrous; to doubt that it
would bring upon us the mischiefs that now
menace us, would be to doubt the consistency and
justice of God himself, and the efficacy of his
laws ; and in the midst of the general abandon
ment, it may well be doubted whether there will
ultimately be found even seven just men in any
city, to appeal for mercy, and excuse it from the
general doom. What shall wc do, then—rush
on madly as heretofore, each hiding his ow n mad
ness in that of his fellows, and, utterly regard
less of the omnipotent and mysterious power of
right and virtue, rely wholly upon ourselves, our
own selfish views, perverted wisdom, and narrow
conceptions of temporary and temporizing policy
and expediency, Mind to the continual developo
monts of its suicidal folly, and deaf to all the
dictates of experience ? Or, shall wo calmly re
view the past, and correct its errors—see and feel
our own weakness, and the uselessness of trust
ing thus solely upon ourselves—and, making
a last appeal to the wisdom and mercy of Heav
en, and relying implicitly on its power and will,
abandon all party policy, trickery, and deceit, and
fearlessly “do our duty, and leavo the conse
quences to God ?” It is high time to adopt some
new course. The policy of the Sentinel has
been industriously and pcrseveringly tried for
years and years; and, having sunk continually
lower and lower under its influence, shall wo slil
go on madly hugging and increasing the subtle
mischief that is eating into our very vitals, and
poisoning all the sources of truth and virtue ?
For ourselves, we have done with it, forever, come
what may; a little time must shew which xs
right; but when too late we fear lo correct the
danger of delay.
“How,” continues the Sentinel, “did it transit
last year, and the yeat before ?” If no better, be
cause little or no better policy was used. An is
sue on our principles has never yet been fairly
made up. With one or two exceptions, the can
didates have all denied the principles of their par
ly, wherever they went, and the principles of
themselves, also, for we never found that they
differed from us, except in policy, and a more
name,) in the hope of gaining votes; forgetting,
that the men opposed to those principles would
very naturally prefer to vote for the.ir own candi
dates, and men neither accused or suspected of
them, and that their course not only brought them
selves into suspicion, and their principles into
contempt, and cut off all hope of new converts to
them, hut disheartened, discouraged, and disgusted
their best friends, and neutralized all their efforts.
Could they convince the opponents of Nullifica
lion (hat they were, not Nullifiers? No. And if
those opponents believed of Nullification what
they said of it, was it not very natural that they
should arguo to themselves, when they heard il
denied, “Oh, yes, you will deny it of course, for
it is not to bo wondered that you should fear to
acknowledge it, if it be tire evil tiring supposed and
declared. We never heard of nn accused criminal
acknowledging his offence. You will of course
plead not guilty, whether you are so or not, hut
who will take your own word for it? Your fear
of Nullification proves that it is vicious ; and if
you are really opposed to it, what do you do asso
ciating with Nullifiers, supporting them, and they
supporting you—and opposing Union men, and
all opposed to Nullification, wherever you find
them ? No, no, gentlemen, your conduct is too
equivocal, and so much worse Ilian that of open
Nullifiers, as it looks like that of wolves in
sheep’s clothing,”—Disgusted, too, with such a
dealing with Nullification, many of the Nullifiers
will not vote for them ; and thus they lose voles
of iheir own party, without gaining those for
| which they sacrifice them. It is a matter beyond
| all dispute, that lire party has totally failed in eve
ry county where it lias sought to succeed hy such
moans—while it has gloriously succeeded in every
one where it has come out openly in favor of its
true principles, and dealt plainly and openly with
tha people. Look at Columbia, Burke, Scrivcn,
Jefferson, Lincoln, Newton, Oglethorpe, Troup,
and other such counties, where tire principles
j have been fairly and consistently dealt with, and
I what a contrast do they present to Richmond, and
1 other counties, where a similar policy has been
pursued ; and mark how completely the contrast
| prostrates the argument and condemns the policy
|of the Hontinel. Three-fourths, at least, of the
people of Georgia, are Nullifiers at heart and in
| principle—one-fourth of them without knowing
it—and all they need to adopt it, is that honesty,
and consistency on the part of its advocates,which
can alone obtain their confidence, and that open
advocacy of it every where, which can alone
make them understand it. As it is, its own friends
arc its worst enemies, and have done more to
bring il into discredit, Ilian all Iho assaults of its
enemies. It is astonishing to us that its politic
friends do not see this, and leant wisdom from
it. Temptation and trial are always in the way
• of right; and it is only hy pcrseveringly resist
ing them, no matter how dangerous it may seem
to do so, or however delusive their false promises,
that il can possibly succeed.

Wo have seen a letter from the Governor, to
tiro Justices of the Inferior Court of this Coun

Collector elect, on account of the illegality of the
election. The election, it is true, was held in
exact conformity to the act of the Legislature, but
in opposition to the eleventh section of the third
article of the Constitution of the Slate, which
forbids the election of any County Ofiicer at the
time the Members of the Legislature are chosen.
Wc mention this inadvertence for the purpose of
avoiding a similar error in future; because no
had consequences are likely to arise, ns the pre
sent Collector will continue to act under his ap
pointment hy Iho Court, ns if no election had
taken place. The object of the Justices was the
public convenience, in not calling Iho Citizens to

lu? mani.W tod u» the close of hist week, hut near
ly a total slip was put to further transactions hy
the mail that came in on Sunday, bringing hue
and unfavorable accounts of the situation of the
markets of Liverpool and Havre. Holders who
before were somewhat sanguine in their expecta
tions, finding it impossible to effect sales on for
mer terms, consented, alter a day or two ol inde
cision, to lower considerably in their demands, but
buyers have shown no disposition whatever to
dose with their oilers; auch indeed is the depres
snl slate of the market at this moment, that we
, <l° not believe sales could Ijc made short of a rc
j liuclion of 2 cents on the prices previously paid*
i It would bo impossible to say how long this slate
I of inaction may continue; it appears to bo the
general imprssion, however, that nothing of any
. great importance will be done until we have fur
ther and more satisfactory intelligence from a

“ There has been a steady demand for the arti
cle from the Trade throughout the week, the a
verage daily sales being about 3000 bales, there'
has been a fair extent of business done for export
and on speculation, and the market has altogether
presented a more impioved appearance than for
some time past, with the exception ol to-day’s
market, which, owing to the quantity of Cotton
offered for sale, has been rather dull, and prevents
us from making any alteration in out quotations
for the belter, indeed the middle and inferior de
scriptions are, if any thing, lower in price than
I last week. The sales to exporters are 1750 bales
I American, and 100 Brazils. Speculators have
| taken 1200 hales American, 200 Brazils, and 100
Surats. The imports of the week arc 8284 bales.

Sept. 7—The improved demand for Cotton
noticed in our circular of 31st ult., has not been
followed up, as had been expected by many, but
after two or three days of moderate business, the
market, towards the latter part of last week, re
lapsed into its former dull stale, and continues
now extremely heavy and depressed. The little
improvement in prices gained during the better
demand a week ago, has been lost, the business
going forward being fully as low, or lower than
the operations ten or twelve days since, and in
general qualities about 1} a 1 }d. below the high
est point ofthe market in May last. In good and'
fine Cotton the decline is not so great as this, but
in inferior qualities, which are very abundantly
offered, it is even greater, while the lowest de
scription of Alabama may he said to he quite
nominal. Some very inferior parcels, barely mer
chantable, are offering in tlje market at 7}d.
without finding buyers.
Sept. B.—On Saturday there was a moderate
demand for Cotton; sales about 1500 bales; yes
terday there was also a moderate enquiry ; sales
2500 bales, of which 500 were for export, and the
appearance of the market has not improved.”
